From: Rotterdam, Netherlands.
DJ style: "Future house mixed with tech-house, electro, disco and techno."
Best known for: "Tracks like 'Gecko', 'Koala' and 'Wombass' and for my HI-LO alter ego."
Tune of 2018: "Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa 'One Kiss (Oliver Heldens Remix)' and Enrico Sangiuliano 'Astral Projection'."
Breakthrough DJ/producer of 2018: "Zonderling, Enrico Sangiuliano and Fisher."
Oliver Heldens slams back into the top 10 after another globetrotting year. He's played the mainstage at Ultra Miami, hosted his own Heldeep stage at Tomorrowland (inviting Duke Dumont, Chocolate Puma and Disciples amongst others) and is currently off touring the US of A.
However, it's actually been a (relatively) quiet year for Ollie DJ-wise, deciding instead to focus more on his production. "Besides all the shows, I've been working on a lot of new music," he tells DJ Mag. "This year I took more time off to set up studio sessions with singers/songwriters and other producers." And it's been worth the effort as he recently landed his first major label record deal with Sony Music's RCA Records, giving him the opportunity to release more of his crossover tracks.
He also dropped his 'Riverside 2099', a revamp of Sidney Samson's 2009 hit, via his Heldeep label, which has been firing on all cylinders itself this year. A consistent release schedule has seen the imprint push new music from Chocolate Puma and Tommie Sunshine, Armitage, Murat Salman and more, plus an appearance from Ollie's more tech-house and techno-focused HI-LO moniker in the thumping party-starter 'King Kong (HI-LO Touch)'.
In August, he stopped off here at DJ Mag's base in North London to deliver an energetic mix for our HQ live stream series. Peppered with his world famous mash-ups (including a massive four-way blend of Wamdue Project's 'King Of My Castle', Kölsch's 'Calabria', 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' by Abba and Ollie's smash hit 'Koala'), what perhaps piqued our interest even more about Ollie's mix was his use of the new Denon DJ Prime set-up, consisting of four SC5000 decks and the X1800 mixer. Several big name DJs have made the switch from the industry standard Pioneer DJ kit now — perhaps most notably, Tiësto — so what made Ollie convert? "I loop a lot, so I love how the Denons have this big dial knob to set and adjust the loops," he explains.
"Also I love the skip feature, you can skip forward/backward while a track is playing without the audio interrupting," he continues. "The touchscreen is also a big pro for me, it makes it way easier to navigate through my music library. And the mixer's sound quality is very good."
So what's on the horizon heading into 2019? "Making and releasing lots of new music. And building the Heldeep Records label more and more," Ollie replies. "Thanks for all the love and for coming to my shows! I've been working on lots of new exciting music, and I can't wait for you all to hear it."

Rare Book Exhibits
Recreations of a Long Vacation
In 1846, Rowsells and Thompson Printers of Toronto published James Beaven's work, Recreations of a Long Vacation; or a Visit to Indian Missions in Upper Canada. Beaven was a clergyman for the Church of England and a Professor of Divinity at the University of King's College, Toronto.[1] This source illustrates the complex landscape of Upper Canada during nineteenth-century missions through the eyes of James Beaven. This book depicts how education, language and literacy were used as imperial and colonial tactics to alter Indigenous peoples ways of life and abrogate them of their political power, lands and culture.
Upon Beaven's arrival to Canada from England in 1843, the Englishman was astonished by the work of his good friend Mr. McMurray, the rector of Ancaster. McMurray had also been a missionary worker for the Chippewa of Sault Ste. Marie.[2] McMurray had learnt the language of Anishinaabemowin to communicate the words of Christianity to the Chippewa/ Ojibwe. This mission, along with others in Upper Canada, exemplified the fundamental role that language and literacy played. Aboriginal peoples were thought to be without history due to an emphasis on oral narratives and other forms of communications that were inconsistent in comparison to alphabetic literacy.[3] Nevertheless, Christianity, through the eyes of the Church of England, was the embodiment of the ultimate truth. This was because their teachings were consistent with alphabetic literacy.[4]
According to Beaven, a mission had to be put back into place in Sault Ste. Marie so Natives could learn how to ignore their temptations through Christian teachings. Since McMurray had resigned from his mission in Sault Ste. Marie, almost one hundred of the Natives had fallen into habits of intoxication.[5] As Peter Jones (a Methodist missionary) had stated, alcohol was one of the greatest evils.[6] He noted that the Bishop in charge of the mission must become acquainted with the language in order to translate the Bible, hymns and prayers.[7] The Moravian Mission on the Thames (Fairfield) demonstrated Beaven's aspirations.[8] The Moravians prayed twice a day and were kept in order through guidance and schooling.[9] The author believed it was necessary to have a schoolmaster and schoolmistress at each mission to promote education.[10]
Literacy prospered at a rapid rate during missionary work in Upper Canada. Why was this the case? According to Beaven, French Canadians and Métis were Catholic, and unlike the Church of England, did not focus on furthering Christianity through instruction and education.[11] Nonetheless, what is perhaps more significant, is the rivalry that emerged. From an imperial viewpoint, there was an overarching desire to foster Native communities under the Church of England. From a colonial perspective, there was an aspiration that Indigenous peoples would abandon their old lifestyles and embrace the new ones being taught through literacy. This competition suggests an explanation for the rise of literary works in the nineteenth-century.
Another crucial theme in Beaven's work is the dispossession of Native culture. Many Native women and men took on new appearances. While Beaven was visiting the Six Nations peoples on the Grand River, he only came across one Native man that was dressed in traditional Native attire from head to toe.[12] Women were dressed in a clean and modest fashion.[13] Men were dressed as farmers or labourers.[14] In addition, under Mr. Elliot (who was a resident of the missionary for the New England Company in Brantford, with the Mohawks), Beaven noticed an idealism of all things English and denunciation of everything Native.[15] This was also illustrated by the name change of the Mohawk's warrior chief from Oghnáhwerea to his English name, Daniel Smith.[16] Even Methodist missionaries, who found Indian names difficult to write or pronounce, replaced them with English ones.[17]
According to Beaven, there was a colonial aspiration to have Native peoples adapt to the Euro-Canadian lifestyle. Through education and literacy, Natives were taught that their way of life was not comparable to that of the English. Not only was the Native population diminishing at increasing rates, but those who were alive were also losing their identities. Beaven noted: "Establishment should make it a primary object to obtain whatever Indian children it can, and train them up as Christians."[18]Nonetheless, it should be noted that Christianity was not the ultimate end goal of these missions.[19] It was extremely important that Natives learnt how to live "properly." The author stated: "In order to do this, he must go to work with the European, to mould himself after him, to learn by imitation his habits of mind and action."[20]
The last fundamental concept is the loss of Indigenous peoples' land. According to Beaven, land became national property in the "most restricted" sense.[21] It became illegal for the Natives to sell their land, which had once been a common business tactic, without the consent of their chiefs.[22] Furthermore, there was an ongoing desire to bring the Natives, who lived sporadically throughout the land, all together.[23] Beaven wanted all of the Indian settlements along the shores of Lake Superior to be brought in and stationed at the mission of Sault Ste. Marie.[24] Nonetheless, Indigenous peoples felt deep connections with their land and were comfortable in their surroundings. However, settler colonialism resulted in the deforestation of about ninety percent of Upper Canada by 1910.
To conclude, Beaven's book is a suitable source for comprehending the changes that occurred in Indigenous life through missionary work, in Upper Canada. The text suggests that education and literacy were ways in which imperial powers tried to colonize their land. Beaven notes that Euro-Canadian ways of life were on the rise, and prideful Native identities were diminishing, rapidly. However, the author also outlines that many Indigenous communities refused to accept Christianity. According to Beaven, the Chippewayans showed the greatest disposition to missionary work in the continent.[25] The Chippewayans were located between the English River to the Esquimaux, inhabiting the Polar seas.[26] Thus, in order to truly assess the impact of literacies and education, it is crucial to look beyond Beaven's source. It is essential to analyze documents such as those the Church of England would call "inconsistent." These "inconsistent" sources, whether they are wampum belts, birch bark scrolls or other forms of narrative, are imperative in understanding missionary work in Upper Canada. Until then, Beaven's source tells us a part of the matter, but not the full story.

Mare mission) dealt with imperial and colonial tactics to abrogate them of their land, culture and community. In addition, the term "Mississauga" sheds light on how the English renamed individuals and nations with English terms. "Mississauga" refers to the Ojibwe peoples on the north of Lake Ontario. This source contains both primary and secondary sources and allows for historians to grasp the tribulations that were occurring during the nineteenth-century. An individual whom I mention in my work, Peter Jones, is discussed in the book as well. I believe Smith's work would be tremendously beneficial for one to gain a further understanding of the material and concepts discussed in my essay. There are collections of writings and speeches contained in the source, which illuminate on an overarching theme in my essay. Language and literacy undoubtedly had a profound impact on the Indigenous peoples of Upper Canada. This source allows for historians studying this subject to gain further knowledge of how literacy and language destroyed the autonomy amongst Indigenous peoples prior to colonial settlement, and was the result of rapid assimilation.

GAO: A Comprehensive Re-evaluation Needed to Better Promote Future Retirement Security
What GAO Found
Fundamental changes over the past 40 years have led to various risks and challenges for the three main pillars supporting the U.S. retirement system. For example, current projections indicate that by 2034, the Old-Age and Survivors trust fund for Social Security's retirement program—the first pillar—will only be sufficient to pay 77 percent of scheduled benefits, due in part to the aging of the population (see figure). Other federal government retirement-related programs also face financial uncertainty. For example, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, whichinsuresthe pension benefits of most private sector defined benefit plans, estimates a greater than 90 percent chance the multiemployer program will be insolvent by 2025.
Meanwhile, employer-sponsored plans — the second pillar — have experienced a shift from traditional defined benefit (DB) plans that generally provide set monthly payments for life, to defined contribution (DC) account-based plans, like 401(k)s. DC plans provide greater portability of savings that can be better suited to the needs of a more mobile workforce but also require individuals to assume more responsibility for planning and managing their savings. While DC plans can provide meaningful retirement security for many, especially higher earners, lower earners appear more prone to having little or no savings in their DC accounts. Further, individuals' savings — the third pillar — may be constrained by economic trends such as low real wage growth and growing out-of-pocket health care costs. Combined with increased longevity, these challenges can put individuals at greater risk of outliving their savings and fiscal pressures on government programs will likely grow.
The US Population Is Aging
Congress generally has sought to address retirement-related issues in an incremental fashion. Also, no one agency is responsible for overseeing the US retirement system in its entirety, so there is no obvious federal agency to lead a comprehensive reform effort. It has been nearly 40 years since a federal commission has conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the nation's approach to financing retirement. Without a more comprehensive re-evaluation of the challenges across all three pillars of the system, it may be difficult to identify effective, enduring solutions. Unless timely action is taken, many older Americans risk not having sufficient means for a secure and dignified retirement.
Why GAO Did This Study
Strengthening the US retirement system to be more accessible and financially sound is important to ensuring that all Americans can retire with dignity and security, and to managing the fiscal exposures to the federal government from various retirement-related programs. Currently, the US retirement system, and many of the workers and retirees it was designed to help face major challenges.
This testimony discusses (1) the fiscal risks and other challenges facing the US retirement system, and (2) the need to re-evaluate our nation's approach to financing retirement. It is based on a 2017 report, GAO-18-111SP , on the nation's retirement system, with updated statistics when more recent estimates from publicly available sources were available.
What GAO Recommends
In the 2017 report, GAO recommended that Congress should consider establishing an independent commission to comprehensively examine the US retirement system and make recommendations to clarify key policy goals for the system and improve how the nation promotes retirement security.

New tugs for Brusco Tug from Diversified Marine
ByMichael Crowley on	 July 9, 2014
Diversified Marine in Portland, Ore., is due to deliver its fifth tug to Brusco Tug & Barge, Longview, Wash., in late September. Robert Allan Ltd., Vancouver, British Columbia, designed the tugs.
The new 78'1″×30'4″ tug, the Bo Brusco, is named after the company's owner, said Robert Allan's Jim Hyslop. It is the second tug in a new series. The Bo Brisco will be used for ship-assist work at a West Coast port.
The first of the new series is the Peter J. Brix, which Diversified Marine delivered in March and is performing ship-assist work out of Grays Harbor, Wash. Both the Peter J. Brix and the Bo Brisco "have bigger drives and engines," than the earlier boats, Hyslop said.
The Peter and Bo are outfitted with Caterpillar 3512C main engines rated at 2,366 hp each. They turn a pair of Rolls-Royce Z-drives with 94.5″-dia. wheels. That's opposed to the Simone Brusco, the last of the previous tug series that Diversified Marine delivered in October. The Simone is powered by a pair of Caterpillar 3512C engines delivering 2,012-hp each to Rolls Royce Z-drives.
Previous Brusco tugs had Ulstein Z-drives, but only parts are now available for Ulstein units and not the complete drives, according to Hyslop.
"With more horsepower, the scantlings are heavier, especially around the drive units. The shell plate is also heavier," said Diversified Marine's Kurt Redd.
"Basically you want to stiffen the boat up," said Hyslop.
Bollard pull on the new tugs is 60 tons ahead and 55 tons astern.
The bow winch at the front of the pilothouse is a Markey Machinery DEPC-48-50HP. This is Markey's class II electric hawser winch and is the same model that's gone on the past three Brusco tugs, said Markey's Scott Kreis. It's a single-drum winch with a render-recover mode and a line pull of 27,820 lbs. at 268 feet per second, which makes it ideal for escort and ship-assist work.
Diversified Marine is also building a pair of RAL-designed 80'×36′ ship-assist tugs for Harley Marine Services, Seattle.
"It's a new design, but it's an evolution of boats we did for them a few years ago — the John Quigg and the Tim Quigg," said Hyslop. "They are enhanced versions, slightly wider and slightly more power."
Power for the new tugs will come from pairs of Caterpillar engines putting out a total of 5,000 hp, which is 200 hp more than the John Quigg and 500 hp more than the Tim Quigg. Both 76'×32′ tugs were built in 2004.
Bollard pull should be 65 tons ahead and 60 tons astern.
As of June, hulls for the new boats were being built. Redd said they are due to be launched in early 2015.

Oh my goodness, this girl. Merritt got tubes this month--they've yet to magically transform her into a baby who sleeps all night... but at least I know her ears aren't hurting her anymore which makes me feel like a good mother. She's got four cute teeth that she likes to bite me with. She generally wakes up twice a night to eat (although technically I wake her up for the first one.) She's kind of a pain to feed... she prefers to nurse in dark, quiet rooms, which are kind of in short supply. I try to feed her when she's sleepy so she'll have a full feeding, otherwise she eats for a few minutes and decides she'd rather play.
She's still a wobbly sitter, but she's getting better. She's VERY good at clapping her hands--a skill I'm sure she learned so she could cheer for me while I ran the Boston Marathon.
She's fairly generous with smiles and giggles--her brothers crack her up!
Her sweet blonde hair is starting to come in a little more. We're still a long way from being able to put a clip in it--but its soft and feathery and maybe has a bit of a curl? Can you imagine how terrible it would be if I had three curly haired boys and then my girl had stick straight hair? Don't you just want to kiss her head?
I've sat her in the high chair twice to feed her and it's gone as you would expect. Bananas and sweet potatoes--she wasn't very interested in either. I'm planning on doing baby led weaning with her--so she's in charge of feeding herself. Nobody has time to spoon feed a baby. Even when they are this sweet.
Her thumb continues to be her favorite thing. I love this little pose--when she first goes for her thumb she uses her other hand to anchor it in there for a bit. It's so precious. We love this girl!

It is no wonder that global hot tub dealers like Alps Spas have been able to attract such a substantial client base throughout the United States and Europe. Relaxing in a hot tub can be very therapeutic, and spending some time in warm, bubbling water has a very broad appeal throughout the world.
People that live close enough to the Atlanta Alps Spas locations can buy direct, and even people located elsewhere may be able to find the right authorized dealer. Alps Spas makes things convenient for its customers.
Alps Spas gives customers the opportunity to get custom ordered hot tubs. Being able to get custom ordered hot tubs can make all the difference for many customers. Customers will vary substantially in what they want from their hot tubs. People will often need to choose hot tubs that work with the architecture and aesthetics of their bathrooms, for one thing. While some people can be flexible in that regard, some people will have specific requirements and limitations. Two-person hot tubs are among the most popular out there. Alps Spas offers its customers a wide range of possible hot tub sizes.
Other people will have the room for swim spas. Swim spas are especially great for people that have entire rooms set aside for their hot tubs, or people that have outdoor swimming areas and want to add hot tubs. Swim spas are versatile and come across as especially luxurious, even among luxury items like hot tubs. Multiple people can use swim spas at once, as well, which gives customers more options.
Alps Spas hot tubs are also fantastic in terms of aesthetics. Plenty of people will choose one hot tub over another for aesthetic reasons. Aesthetics are especially important for luxury items like hot tubs. The hot tub needs to fit with the rest of a household's interior or exterior design, which may ultimately be largely based on the hot tub's coloration.
Alps spas offers plenty of available hot tubs that are white or very light gray, which can give them a pure and sterile appearance. Other hot tubs may be blue or dark gray, which can make them seem more oceanic and can give a hot tub an extra appeal. Hot tubs that have a more patterned appearance are also available, and these can give the hot tub and its setting a unique look.
Customers won't have to compromise on anything when they get their hot tubs from Alps Spas, and that includes the color of the hot tub. Alps spas water tests their hot tubs as a way of making sure that their clients receive products that are both safe and stylish.

And I have heard it said that the only thing constant is change. And some stories do not end as you expect. And in between blaghing about all things #KaliefBrowder, #SandraBland, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street and beyond, and with that Google page rank update still sending me in search of a fifth full time job for when that get rich internet quick does not get rich internet quick. This blog post happens to be one of those off the wall, out of the blue, from left field posts, I think, that may have nothing to do with a No Police State, or maybe it does, who knows. This is one of those posts that has to do with real estate, the economy and change, kind of like one of those Vanishing New York posts, only this one is about Things That Aren't There Anymore: Central NJ Edition, or at least things that won't be there in the coming months, Northern New Jersey Edition. And does this mean that you've become one of those New Jersey people when you start blaghing about all things New Jersey. And I have always thought that when one crosses that New York, New Jersey interstate line, that it becomes a completely different commuter world, seemingly for generations to come. And so word on the street is that Food Basics in New Jersey, and also that Chase Bank next door to it in that New Jersey Plaza are closing in the coming months. And what's up with that "For more information on A&P Stores sales and bankruptcy" statement to be found on that Food Basics website I am not exactly sure, though this impending closing news wouldn't be such news to me if I didn't find myself passing by these places every so often. And from what I hear, this Food Basics lot, used to be Two Guys Department Stores years ago. Do you remember when? And then there is that The shemittah and financial collapse article that has something to do with releasing of debts every seven years, and blood moons, that in my paranoia conspiracy theories has me wondering if this is the beginning of another economic collapse, not since that mortgage meltdown a few years ago, doomsday, the beginning of the end, again, or something like that. And when the stores all around you start to close, you start to wonder if this shemittah and financial collapse stuff is true. Are stores starting to close worldwide, nationwide? And what will become of these places when they close, another chain store, another strip mall, condos, abandoned? Are these changes reflected across the nation? Is this just another story of gentrification, white flight, no not white flight..., genocide, a war zone, blight, urban renewal? And what else is there to say about this real estate situation that has not already been said in this kind of real estate situation time. Have a great impending development, impending shemittah and changing times day.
And that photo of Food Basics with those "food Basics is Closing" signs in the window and on the ground, well it looks like Food Basics, this location only, is closing. The only thing constant is change.

Italy were unable to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg against the Swedes and were held to a goalless draw at the San Siro in the return match on Monday.
That ensured that they failed to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958, causing huge humiliation for one of the powerhouses of international football.
Ventura was heavily criticised for his poor decisions throughout the disastrous qualification campaign.
Even in his last match in charge he found himself blasted by Daniele De Rossi after he told the Roma legend to warm-up.

With Italy desperately needing a goal, the defensive midfielder embarked in an angry exchange with the former boss and told him to send on attacker Lorenzo Insigne instead.
His sacking does not come as a shock, the only surprise being that it has taken 48 hours to be confirmed after one of the worst night's in the nation's footballing history.

Following the humiliation, Ventura said his defended his record in charge and claimed it was "one of the best of the last 40 years".
Before confirmation of his sacking, he told Le Iene: "I lost only two games in two years."

Despite his defence over his record at the helm, Ventura was quick to say sorry to the nation after the draw two days ago.
He said: "I can only apologise to the Italians, not for the will or effort but for the result which I know is the main thing."
Early reports have suggested that Carlo Ancelotti, who was dismissed by Bayern Munich earlier this season, is the man Italy want to revive their fortunes.

Derek Terrence Morris (born August 24, 1978) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey defenceman who played over 1,100 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Calgary Flames, Colorado Avalanche, Phoenix Coyotes, Boston Bruins and New York Rangers. He was originally drafted out of the Western Hockey League (WHL) 13th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career
Morris played minor hockey in the Alberta Midget Hockey League (AMHL) with the Red Deer Chiefs and was awarded the Brian Benning Trophy as the league's top defenceman in 1995. He went on to play major junior with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League (WHL). After his rookie WHL season, in which he scored 52 points in 67 games, Morris was drafted 13th overall by the Calgary Flames in the 1996 NHL Entry Draft, a somewhat surprising pick as Morris had been projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick. He returned to play a second season with the Pats, improving to 18 goals and 75 points before turning pro.

Following Morris's 1996–97 WHL season with the Pats, he was assigned to the Calgary's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Saint John Flames for the final seven games of the regular season, as well as five post-season games. In 1997–98, he scored 9 goals and 29 points in his NHL rookie season with the Flames, earning NHL All-Rookie Team honours.  He continued to improve to 34, then 38 points in his second and third seasons with the Flames before an injury-shortened season in 2000–01 kept him to 28 points in 51 games.

In 2001–02, Morris was again sidelined after sustaining a left wrist injury.  During the season, he was unintentionally involved in a tragic incident in a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 16, 2002, when an Espen Knutsen slap shot deflected off him and into the stands, striking 13-year-old Brittanie Cecil in the temple. She died from the impact two days later, prompting the NHL to implement protective netting at the ends of the rinks at the start of the following season. Morris completed the season with 34 points in 61 games.

After five seasons with Calgary, reaching the 30-point mark four times, Morris was traded to the Colorado Avalanche. He made an immediate impact with the Avalanche in his first season, tallying a career-high 11 goals, 37 assists and 48 points in 2002–03.

The following season, Morris was traded for the second time in as many campaigns, this time to the Phoenix Coyotes. He completed the 2003–04 season playing in 14 games and recording 2 assists with the Coyotes after being traded. He finished with a combined 32 points. In his first full season with the Coyotes in 2005–06, Morris tallied 28 points in 53 games, then recorded back-to-back 25-point seasons the following two campaigns.

On March 4, 2009, Morris was again dealt at the trade deadline, this time to the New York Rangers. He did not re-sign with the Rangers in the off-season, instead signing a one-year contract with the Boston Bruins worth $3.3 million on July 24, 2009.

On March 3, 2010, Morris was traded back to the Coyotes for a conditional fourth-round pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. After the season, Morris signed a four-year, $11 million contract extension with the Coyotes. With Phoenix, Morris went deep into the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. His highlight of the playoffs was a shot from centre ice in Game 1 of the Conference Finals that beat Los Angeles Kings netminder Jonathan Quick. However, the Coyotes lost the series in five games.

Though he never officially announced his retirement, Morris has not been active since the 2013–14 season.

International play

Morris has represented Canada on three occasions at the World Championships. After appearances in 1999 and 2001, he won his first gold medal with Canada at the 2004 World Championships in the Czech Republic. He contributed five assists in the gold-medal effort.

Personal life
Morris has three sons: Traiten, Presley and Asher. He coached for his son Presley's team, The Jr. Coyotes 02 AA, and also for eldest son Traiten's team, The Jr. Coyotes 00 AA. Morris settled in north Scottsdale, Arizona. In the summers, he and his family return to Alberta.

Morris is currently an assistant high school coach with Chaparral High.

#Lead2Protect: CIVIC's Peacekeeping Director on the Implementation of the Kigali Principles During POC Week Side Event
Remarks by CIVIC's Peacekeeping Director Alison Giffen, delivered during "Pledging to Protect Civilians in Peacekeeping Operations: Lessons from the Implementation of the Kigali Principles," an event hosted by the Permanent Missions of Ireland, Rwanda, and Uruguay to the United Nations (UN) and the International Peace Institute on May 29, 2020 as part of Protection of Civilians Week 2020 and in recognition of International Day of UN Peacekeepers.
Thank you to the Permanent Missions of Ireland, Rwanda, and Uruguay to the UN and the International Peace Institute for hosting this important event.
I am very pleased to be participating in this event on international peacekeepers day, which coincides this year with the 2020 Protection of Civilians Week. Five years ago today, I had the privilege to speak at the conference hosted by the Republic of Rwanda on the protection of civilians and UN peacekeeping, where the Kigali Principles on the Protection of Civilians (the Principles) were launched. In the relatively short amount of time that has passed since then, many Member State and UN Secretariat efforts have helped to advance the goals of the Principles. Some of these efforts were directly tied to the Principles, while others were linked to related high-level peacekeeping conferences and reform initiatives.
For example, to implement the Principles that seek to improve peacekeeper training,[1] the governments of Rwanda, the Netherlands, and the United States held joint Protection of Civilians (POC) training workshops in Rwanda and Ghana for military officers from a diverse set of troop contributing countries (TCCs). In addition, Member States have continued to register and graduate new contributions to UN peacekeeping operations through the Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System, which requires more in-depth assessments of personnel and equipment to ensure they can perform in the field. Further, some Member States have partnered to hold regional workshops in Africa and Latin America to roll out new UN operational readiness policies and manuals on unit requirements. These types of workshops are essential to ensure UN policies are institutionalized by ministries of defense and peacekeeping training centers.
However, more needs to be done to realize the commitments outlined in the Principles. For more than two decades, civilians have looked to UN peacekeepers for protection – whether or not those peacekeepers were in uniform and whether or not the words "protection of civilians" were in a mission's mandate. UN peacekeeping operations must protect civilians, not only to meet the expectations of populations – which is essential to an operation's ability to implement other mandated tasks – but because the promotion and protection of human rights is a key purpose and guiding principle of the United Nations.
There is no reason to doubt that investing in more effective protection of civilians through UN peacekeeping is worthwhile. Mounting data analyzed by academics demonstrates that UN peacekeeping operations reduce violence against civilians. CIVIC's ongoing research in the Central African Republic (CAR), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Mali, and South Sudan support these findings. As a woman in Yei, South Sudan, relayed to CIVIC earlier this year, "There is good improvement now since [UNMISS] conducts routine patrols and advocated for re-opening of closed roads and also removal of illegal checkpoints on the road, which created confidence for free movement among the civilians." This woman had lost seven family members who were burned alive in their home during an attack in the area. Another woman in Yei, whose brother was shot and killed by a government-supported militia, told CIVIC, "We appreciate the role of UNMISS in reducing fear and promoting peaceful co-existence in the communities…"[2]
In terms of the Principles addressing the need to match peacekeeping mandates with resources, significant work remains to be done.[3] For example, CIVIC's recent report, "Protecting Civilians in Mali: Why Air Assets Matter for MINUSMA," details the negative impact that long-running gaps in critical capabilities has had on the Mission's ability to undertake its mandated tasks to facilitate local-level dialogue to diffuse conflict, to investigate human rights abuses, and to proactively respond to physical violence against civilians. As one MINUSMA military official relayed to CIVIC, "When there are flare-ups between signatory armed groups, it can sometimes take us two to three days to get to there."
After the UN Security Council added a new strategic priority to MINUSMA's 2019 mandate to address the significant increase in violence in Mali's central region, a civilian official in MINUSMA told CIVIC, "And yet, even with these changes to the security environment [in the center of Mali], MINUSMA still has no military utility helicopters, no attack helicopters, and no [intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance] platforms permanently based in the Mopti region." Given these gaps, it is critically important that in the spirit of the 6th Kigali Principle, new assets pledged at the recent MINUSMA Force Generation Conference are deployed as soon as possible.[4]
By the end of June, the UN General Assembly's Fifth Committee must conclude the negotiations of UN peacekeeping operation budgets for the 2020/2021 fiscal year. The responsibility to match mandates with resources – referred to primarily in Principle 17 – does not just fall to the UN Security Council or to the troop and police contributing countries, but to the Fifth Committee. CIVIC has identified capabilities that are critical to the protection of civilians, such as field-level joint operation centers, joint mission analysis centers, strategic planning units, protection – and gender – related advisors, human rights officers, and of course, air operations budgets. I urge not only the endorsees of the Principles, but also those that have endorsed the Declaration of Shared Commitments on UN Peacekeeping, to support these capabilities in the budget negotiations and to always consider the impact that any downsizing, transition, or drawdown of a mission could have on the protection of civilians.
The Kigali Principles, and similar initiatives such as the Vancouver Principles on Peacekeeping and the Prevention of the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers and the Elsie Initiative for Women in Peace Operations, are unique. They are voluntary, public, high-level commitments by Member States to tackle some of the most important and difficult challenges that UN peacekeeping operations are deployed to address. They provide a very detailed set of solutions to well-known obstacles to effective peacekeeping and, as such, serve as an essential complement to the Action for Peacekeeping initiative that seeks to maintain momentum on UN peacekeeping reform.
I encourage Member States to lead to protect and carry these voluntary commitments forward:
through their public and private diplomacy exercised in UN forums and with key peacekeeping stakeholders, including host-state governments;
through their votes in the Fifth Committee and UN Security Council that touch on budgets and management reforms; and
through contributions of personnel, enablers, and capacity building initiatives pledged during the 2021 Peacekeeping Ministerials and preparatory conferences.
In turn, as a representative of a civil society organization, CIVIC pledges to strengthen the protection of civilians through UN peacekeeping by continuing our research to capture good practices and lessons learned in CAR, DRC, Mali, and South Sudan and to advocate for those lessons to be institutionalized in policy and practice at the local, national, and international level.
[1] Principles one and two of the Kigali Principles on the Protection of Civilians directly address commitments to improve training of personnel deployed to UN peacekeeping operations.
[2] This research will be further explored in a forthcoming Issue Brief authored by CIVIC's Senior Global researcher, Lauren Spink, that will explore how UNMISS is implementing its protection mandate by linking local engagement and dialogue with national-level peacebuilding.
[3] Principles 5, 6, 17, and 18 of the Kigali Principles on the Protection of Civilians address the need to match mandates with resources, including personnel, logistics, and critical enablers such as air assets.
[4] Kigali Principles on the Protection of Civilians, Principle 6, "To strive, within our capabilities, to contribute the enabling capabilities (e.g. helicopters) to peacekeeping operations that facilitate improved civilian protection."

'This Is Where I Leave You' Review: Jane Fonda, Tina Fey, Jason Bateman Star in Film With No Characters
Even comedy all-stars can't breathe life into the contrived situations and underwritten neurotics in this family-at-a-funeral dramedy
Witney Seibold | September 7, 2014 @ 5:30 PM	Last Updated: September 8, 2014 @ 9:20 AM
If Hollywood movies are any sort of reliable indicator then every form of familial drama can be overcome over the course of a long holiday. If you and your family are at odds for any reason, and you have spent decades fostering an unhealthy but persistent streak of resentment, all you need to do is alternate public, weepy confessions with bouts of wry, overwritten, self-deprecating humor.
It also helps if you have an affair or ingest illegal drugs. Also, be very wealthy. Follow these rules, and any history of abuse, neglect, infidelity, divorce and even – in the specific case of Shawn Levy's painfully bland "This Is Where I Leave You" – mental illness will all be magically erased in a trifling puff of gooey feel-good emotions.
See video: Tina Fey Sucker Punches Dax Shepard in 'This Is Where I Leave You' Trailer (Video)
This dramedy, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, offers family angst lite, with marital infidelity served up as the most grievous sin committed by any of the characters in it: Jason Bateman's recently divorced sad sack; Tina Fey's fussy, unhappily married sister; Jane Fonda's mouthy mom; and Adam Driver's irresponsible lout, to name but a few.
Judd Altman (Bateman) catches his wife in bed with another man on the day his father dies. Papa Altman's dying wish was for his family to sit shiva, although his ties to Judaism were sketchy at best. Gathering at their old, large Connecticut home for the seven-day task is the entire Altman clan, including Wendy (Fey), mom (Fonda), caddish younger brother Phillip (Driver), responsible brother Paul (Corey Stoll), and a corresponding romantic interest for each of them (including Rose Byrne, Debra Monk, Kathryn Hahn, Connie Britton, and Timothy Olyphant).
Wendy and Judd both find themselves reconnecting with old potential romantic mates from their respective pasts, and it's not long before they, and just about everyone else, is toying with cathartic bouts of infidelity.
There's so much cheating and potential cheating going on in this film, you'd think either Neil LaBute and Woody Allen contributed to its making. If only they had; at least then the humor would have had an edge, the angst might contain darkness, and the characters could exist within some sort of rich, hateful dynamic.
As it is, there is a lot of vague dialogue (written by Jonathan Tropper, based on his novel) devoted to the unclear lingering resentment the lead characters all carry for the recently deceased patriarch. They talk about how they miss their dad, but also complain that he was distant. That he was unsentimental, but clearly loving. Beyond a few hazy recollections, sadly, we get no definite portrait of the dead man's actual character.

Each of the leads halfheartedly pins his or her own personal neuroses and character flaws on said emotionally distant upbringing ("I was always afraid to take chances!" "I have always been an irresponsible jerk!"), but when they've all finally said their piece, and are settling down after the whirlwind of their constant personal dramas, we get the sense that these adult children's resentment for their father seem s misplaced, their neuroses not all that pronounced after all. Indeed, these well-off bourgeois white people don't seem to have ever been in a particularly bad place.
This not-very-bad-place turns out to be a wan destination for a movie ostensibly all about emotional baggage. "This Is Where I Leave You" ultimately spends it entire running time unpacking empty suitcases.
The excellent cast of "This Is Where I Leave You" cannot be faulted; all talented performers, they collectively make a constant effort to bring some sort of life to the limp script and uninspired direction. Rose Byrne, perhaps one of the funniest actresses currently working, does the best job of managing to elicit some sparkle from her character. Bateman, Fey, and Fonda all play versions of roles they've tackled before, which is something of a pity. Can't the great Jane Fonda — unfortunately entrenched in a recent past riddled with the likes of "Monster-In-Law" and "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding" — get big-screen offers beyond wisecracking, oversexed grandmas anymore?

The film's listless mediocrity bears the trademark of artistry-free auteur Shawn Levy, a Hollywood jouneyman if ever there was one. (He previously directed blank comedies like "The Internship," "Just Married," and the "Pink Panther" remakes.) Levy is the kind of director who can't not play it safe, even when working with a better class of material.
Occasionally, Hollywood will step forward with a family drama that actually manages to tinker with actual pain ("Rachel Getting Married" comes to mind) or at least lend an edge of darkness to a grim situation ("August: Osage County"). "This Is Where I Leave You" has no edge, no darkness, no texture, no character to speak of. You'll giggle a few times, maybe get a little wistful, but the theater door is where you'll leave it.

The difference between Data Science and Data Engineering can vary depending on who you ask. At Insight, we have been thinking a lot about what defines Data Engineering. We have recently launched a new program focused on transitioning to this career.
From our perspective, one job of a data scientist is asking the right questions on any given dataset (whether large or small).
After finding interesting questions, the data scientist must be able to answer them! Finding these answers may require a knowledge of statistics, machine learning, and data mining tools. If data mining tools are unavailable, then the data scientist might be better prepared by having the skills to learn these tools quickly. This is why it is essential to know CS fundamentals and programming, including experience with languages and database technologies such as Python and MySQL.
Importantly, any analysis should be effectively communicated to interested audiences. This includes being able to visualize the data or results. The data scientist should be well-versed in creating charts and graphs, and using visualization tools such as D3. These results or insights must then be clearly and effectively presented, either verbally or in writing.
A Ph.D. degree is a requirement to participate in the Insight Data Science Program because it demonstrates that a Fellow has spent roughly 5 intense years in graduate training to either ask the right questions about data, performing data analysis, create statistical or mathematical models, and present results. These are all skills that are essential to being a well-rounded data scientist.
Data engineers enable data scientists to do their jobs more effectively!
Our definition of data engineering includes what some companies might call Data Infrastructure or Data Architecture. The data engineer gathers and collects the data, stores it, does batch processing or real-time processing on it, and serves it via an API to a data scientist who can easily query it.
There are many Big Data tools on the market that perform each of these steps, and it is important that the choice of using a particular tool can be defended (not used just because it is trendy). That is why one of the requirements to participate in the Insight Data Engineering Fellows Program includes having very strong software engineering skills. Not only should the Fellow be able to learn and use these tools quickly, they must improve them if needed.
A good data engineer has extensive knowledge on databases and best engineering practices. These include handling and logging errors, monitoring the system, building human-fault-tolerant pipelines, understanding what is necessary to scale up, addressing continuous integration, knowledge of database administration, maintaining data cleaning, and ensuring a deterministic pipeline.
These topics are acquired from experience building software, so preferred candidates to Insight Data Engineering have several years of software engineering experience, even if the candidate does not hold a Ph.D. degree. We also highly value candidates who have large potential, can learn quickly, and are passionate about Big Data and software engineering.
There is great deal of overlap between these two roles. For instance, a data scientist might use the Hadoop ecosystem to serve up answers to their data questions, and a data engineer might be programming an iterative machine learning algorithm to run over a Spark cluster. Even though these tracks are separate in our program, some companies prefer that candidates are comfortable with aspects from both data science and data engineering. Additionally, if a company has defined these two roles separately, it can be possible to switch from one role to the other.


That's when the discourse between DeSantis and Gillum turned nasty. It's no surprise that Gillum leads in polls by an average of about six points. The commission is investigating whether Gillum accepted gifts from lobbyists after a Tallahassee businessman and persistent critic of Gillum filed a complaint.
Regarding her support for DeSantis, Tamir praised the Republican candidate's pro-Israel support. Both sides appeared eager for character to emerge as the defining issue in what remains of the sharply partisan campaign.
Gillum did not hold back. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, who sat in the debate hall audience. During the debate, DeSantis deflected all allegations.
DeSantis, 40, noted that he practiced baseball with Republicans who were shot in Virginia a year ago. I can tell you, we're not doing it. And Gillum added that DeSantis had been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
'Say you're convicted of child molestation. The trip has become the focus of an ethics investigation and is tied to the FBI investigation into local corruption in Tallahassee. The warrant stated that agents were focusing on City Commissioner Scott Maddox, a former head of the Florida Democratic Party, and his former chief of staff. Maddox has denied any wrongdoing.
Earlier this week Kise released texts and other information contradicting Gillum's assertion that he paid all of his expenses on trips to Costa Rica and New York City, which are the subject of the ethics complaints. Mr. Corey had won the stay at a charity auction, and invited his friends to accompany him.Mr. Gillum's campaign produced receipts on September 4 showing that the mayor and his wife, R. Jai Gillum, paid for their airfare to Costa Rica and several restaurant meals there.
Gillum admitted he had taken the ticket, but said he received it from his brother and thought his brother swapped them for concert tickets. "I arrived at that theater and received my ticket from my brother". While he hasn't commented on the new documents, during Wednesday's debate he referred to a Jay-Z song when he said, "Florida's got 99 problems, and "Hamilton" isn't one of them".
Gillum's story of how he paid for his ticket and his villa vacay is now being picked apart by the opposition, thrown in his face as proof that he's unfit for the Governor's mansion, and re-spun by the Gillum camp heading into the final two weeks of a testy and tumultuous campaign. Documents released this week show that he was told in a text that "Miller" had gotten the ticket.
"Awesome news about Hamilton", Gillum replied, according to the records.
"As we saw with the Comey letter, Democrats are more likely to be deflated over something like this and stay home", said the consultant, who asked to remain anonymous in order to speak candidly. "He has spoken at racist conferences".
"I take responsibility for not asking more questions".
"How the hell am I supposed to know every statement somebody's made?" he said.
Gillum looked on, mouth open, with a half-smile on his face. "I'm simply saying racists believe he's a racist". "He said I'm a grown man, I pay for my stuff", DeSantis said. The candidates briefly touched on policy matters, reiterating their opposing positions on gun control, the minimum wage and immigration. Gillum opposes for-profit charter schools. He interrupted McDermott to call his unfinished question "McCarthyist" and suggest incorrectly that McDermott was wrong about racist statements David Horowitz made at a conference DeSantis participated in. And last night, Gillum called him out for it.
Since the opening days of the general election contest between Gillum and DeSantis, race has been a subtext, with DeSantis receiving criticism for his choice of words during an interview with Fox News.

Now is the time to think about planting a fall garden. In the fall, the weather is milder, there aren't as many insect pests and the soil actually tends to be more moist, but well-draining.
Clean the garden of weeds and spent plants. Dispose of anything diseased and compost the rest. If this will be your second planting season, make note of what was where, so you can rotate your crops where possible.
Move existing mulch to the side. If it's still in good condition, you can re-use it for the fall. Most likely a lot of it has decomposed already and you'll need to add a bit more. Straw or shredded leaves make excellent mulch for vegetable gardens.
Loosen the soil. If your soil has gotten compacted during the course of the summer, fluff it up with a garden fork.
Amend the soil. Replenish the soil by working in some compost or other amendments. You can top dress with it or work it in while you are loosening the soil. Have your planting layout done before you add the compost, so you add it where the plants will be growing and not in the paths. If you choose to use manure, make sure it has thoroughly composted for at least 6 months.
Prepare for winter. If you are planning on using any kind of frost protection, like a cold frame or hoop cover, get your structures in place now. Don't put the covers in place yet, just the framing. Now you're ready to start planting. Of course, if this all sounds like too much work, you can always sow a "green manure" cover crop and let your garden tend itself until spring.
Canna bulbs, which are technically known as rhizomes, should be dug up in fall to protect them from freezing. If you live in zones 8-11, your cannas can remain in the ground.
Once frost has blackened the tops of cannas, dahlias, and gladiolus, it's time to dig them if you plan to store them for planting in the spring. Dig carefully so as not to injure them, and then let dry at 60-70 degrees F in a well-ventilated spot out of direct sun with the foliage attached.
Clean out rose beds and apply fungicide one last time to susceptible varieties.
Squirrels "read" the disturbed soil and marks you leave when planting their favorite tulips and crocuses. Outwit them by concentrating spring bulb plantings in large groups and disguising your marks by flooding the soil surface with water, then cover with leaves topped with some shrubby branches.
Remove the debris of summer annuals, disposing of any diseased plants in the trash and composting healthy plants.
Throw seeds of hardy annuals where you want them to bloom next year. Larkspur, poppies, cleome and cosmos will frequently take root from seeds sown in autumn and conditioned under winter snow.
This time of year, the leaves of Black Eyed Susans often turn partly or completely black. This is caused by a fungus. It's best to remove infected stems and leaves at the end of the season. Next year, thin plants and remove volunteer seedlings to provide good air movement around plants. Look for leaf spots early in the season and pinch off infected leaves. Never remove more than 1/3rd of the plant's foliage.
Sow wildflower seeds for spring bloom.
You can plant 'Icicle' pansies in spots where summer annuals have been cleared out. They will bloom until December, and then lie down for the winter. Cover them with evergreen cuttings until earliest spring, when they'll be ready to sprout new buds.
Harvest pumpkins when the rinds are hard, and leave a short stem. They are actually less likely to rot with part of the stem attached.
If you want to preserve herbs like parsley, chives, tarragon, dill, or cilantro, fill sections of an ice cube tray to the top with the chopped herbs, then pour just enough water over them to cover. When the cubes are frozen solid, pop them out and store them in plastic freezer bags.
Harvest pumpkins and winter squash before the first heavy frost.
Kale, Brussels sprouts, and collards will be sweetest if you wait until after a light frost to harvest.
If a sudden early cold snap into the teens is predicted, cover plants, as the sudden drop in temperature may injure plants.
Once the nights are consistently below 50 degrees F, it's best to harvest any remaining mature green tomatoes, even if the vines haven't yet been hit by frost.
Cover beds of lettuce, spinach, arugula, and other greens with floating row covers to extend your harvest season.
Fall is a good time for planting many trees and shrubs in this region, but needled evergreens such as pine and spruce do best when planted by the end of September. This gives them time to establish a good root system before the ground freezes.
Keep newly planted trees watered regularly throughout the fall.
Pick your pears when they are slightly immature and chill them in the refrigerator (Bartlett pears need a day or two, winter pears like Anjou or Bosc need 3-4 weeks of chilling). When you're ready, let them ripen at room temperature or in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
Cut out raspberry and blackberry canes that have just finished fruiting.
Core aeration is the best way to revive a lawn that's developed a thick layer of thatch or to improve areas where the soil has become compacted. Cores will decompose on the lawn in a couple of weeks.
Test the lawn soil before automatically adding lime. Get a professional soil test done, which is easy and inexpensive (around $12 to $20) through your state agricultural Extension Service or purchase a soil test kit.

Critical Flaw in GoAhead Web Server Could Affect Wide Range of IoT Devices
Cybersecurity researchers today uncovered details of two new vulnerabilities in the GoAhead web server software, a tiny application widely embedded in hundreds of millions of Internet-connected smart devices.
One of the two vulnerabilities, assigned as CVE-2019-5096, is a critical code execution flaw that can be exploited by attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable devices and take control over them.
The first vulnerability resides in the way multi-part/form-data requests are processed within the base GoAhead web server application, affecting GoAhead Web Server versions v5.0.1, v.4.1.1, and v3.6.5.
According to the researchers at Cisco Talos, while processing a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker exploiting the vulnerability can cause use-after-free condition on the server and corrupt heap structures, leading to code execution attacks.
The second vulnerability, assigned as CVE-2019-5097, also resides in the same component of the GoAhead Web Server and can be exploited in the same way, but this one leads to denial-of-service attacks.
"A specially crafted HTTP request can lead to an infinite loop in the process (resulting in 100 percent CPU utilization). The request can be unauthenticated in the form of GET or POST requests and does not require the requested resource to exist on the server," the researchers say.
However, it's not necessary that both vulnerabilities could be exploited in all embedded devices running the vulnerable versions of the GoAhead web server.
That's because, according to the researchers, since GoAhead is a customizable web application framework, companies implement the application according to their environment and requirements, due to which the flaws "may not be reachable on all builds."
"Additionally, pages that require authentication do not allow access to the vulnerability without authentication as the authentication is handled before reaching the upload handler," the researchers explain.
Talos researchers reported the two vulnerabilities to EmbedThis, the developer of the GoAhead Web Server application, in late August this year, and the vendor addressed the issues and released security patches two weeks ago.

The long awaited Elephone P3000 is launched (today) on Nov 20th. Below here you can read the announcement from Elephone.
After two days of testing P3000, we're very pleased with the result.
The JDI screen displays sharp and high quality pictures. Meanwhile, power consumption of the screen decreased. There is still power left after heavy use for one day, that has solved the power consumption problem that exists on Android 4.4.2 phones. The camera performs outstanding, and there are lots of options in the menu to fit the different shooting environment. The accuracy of the color reduction reaches 90%. It performs excellent in low light condition.
Furthermore, the combination of MTK 6582 and 6290 works great for 4G LTE. MTK 6582 is a mature developed Soc that has stable performance regarding running complex functions such as games and multi tasks.
Two more features were added too. One is the OTA updat and the other one is using the fingerprint scanner on the rear cover to browse web pages, picture etc. Off screen gesture and air gesture will be added in the coming OTA update. As always, we're concern about smartphone users' health, and we're developing a new protective film not only protect your phone from scratching, but also take care of your eyes. The film filters the blue light come from the display. The film will be released soon, and they're going to be compatible on P2000 and P3000 first.
On Nov 20th (today), we officially launched P3000 on the market. And the delivery will be made immediately. The first batch of P3000 is limited, place orders as soon as you can.
