To take part in political activity, unions are required to maintain a political fund. At UNISON, a small proportion of your subscription (3%-6.5%) can go either into the Affiliated Political Fund (Labour Link), the General Political Fund (GPF), both, or neither. You don't pay any extra to be in either of the political funds, it's just your say over how that portion of subscription is allocated.
Our records indicate you pay to the Affiliated Political Fund (Labour Link). Labour Link works directly within the Labour Party to take UNISON's policies into the heart of the party.
If you wish to change how your subscriptions are allocated, you can download and complete a form to transfer to the General Political Fund, contribute to both funds, or contribute to neither.

Defenders of the Faith es el noveno álbum de estudio de la banda británica de heavy metal Judas Priest, publicado en 1984 a través de Columbia Records. De acuerdo a Steve Huey del sitio Allmusic es una de sus producciones con mejor calidad, aunque no llega a la altura de British Steel y Screaming for Vengeance principalmente por no generar sencillos a nivel mundial como los ya mencionados.

En el 2001 se remasterizó con dos pistas adicionales: «Turn On Your Light» grabada durante las sesiones de Turbo y una versión en vivo de «Heavy Duty/Defenders of the Faith», que se grabó en Long Beach (California) en 1984. En marzo de 2015 con motivo de su trigésimo aniversario, se editó una publicación especial, que incluyó un álbum en vivo de doble disco. Dicha grabación se realizó el 5 de mayo de 1984 en el Long Beach Arena de Long Beach, emitida originalmente por una radio local.

Antecedentes

A los pocos días después de presentarse en el certamen US Festival en California, la banda se trasladó nuevamente a los Ibiza Sound Studios en España para escribir nuevas canciones para un eventual álbum de estudio. En junio de 1983 e instalados en la isla de Ibiza, se enteraron de que el estudio tenía problemas de financiación y que muchos de los equipos no estaban allí.

De acuerdo a una entrevista dada por Rob Halford a la revista Revolver en septiembre de 2003, afirmó que durante días no pudieron hacer nada porque los técnicos del estudio no habían recibido su sueldo. También relató que el sello le prestó dinero al dueño del estudio para que la banda pudiera grabar, aun así en precarias condiciones ya que los técnicos se habían llevado algunos de los equipos de grabación como compensación económica.

Grabación y el accidente de K.K.

Tras llegar a un acuerdo entre los técnicos, el dueño del estudio y la discográfica, la banda pudo iniciar las grabaciones en julio de 1983 y que culminaron a mediados de agosto. Luego entre septiembre y noviembre se trasladaron a Miami específicamente a los DB Recording Studios y a los Bayshore Recording Studios, donde iniciaron el proceso de mezclado. Allí también decidieron el título del álbum que en un principio se llamaría Keep the Faith, pero que luego optaron por el actual basándose en la canción «Defenders of the Faith» ya que en una entrevista a K.K. Downing realizada por Rockline explicó: «El significado del título es que el heavy metal es nuestra fe, como lo es para todo el que lo sigue. Estamos defendiéndola contra los no creyentes». Por último, a fines de noviembre todas las canciones se masterizaron en los Sterling Studios de Nueva York.

A pesar de que el proceso de grabación en sí fue un éxito, el guitarrista K.K. Downing sufrió un grave accidente que casi le cuesta la vida. Cuando aún estaban en la ciudad, tanto él como el ingeniero de sonido Mark Dodson se trasladaron a un local nocturno y cuando salían del establecimiento Downing fue atropellado por un taxi. Según comentaron los testigos, antes de llegar a una esquina el taxi lo atropelló por el frente lanzándolo a varios metros más allá y de acuerdo a Glenn Tipton, el guitarrista fue llevado al hospital consciente pero con serias fracturas que le costaron estar varias semanas de reposo antes de volver a grabar.

Lanzamiento y promoción

Se lanzó oficialmente el 4 de enero de 1984 en el Reino Unido a través de CBS Records y a los pocos días alcanzó el puesto 19 en los UK Albums Chart. En el mismo día también se publicó en los Estados Unidos por el sello Columbia donde llegó al lugar 18 en la lista Billboard 200. Dos meses después recibió disco de oro por la Recording Industry Association of America y en 1988 le otorgaron disco de platino, tras vender más de 1 millón de copias en el país norteamericano.

Para promocionarlo se lanzaron tres canciones como sencillos; «Freewheel Burning» que se lanzó en diciembre de 1983 y que llegó a la posición 42 en los UK Singles Chart, «Love Bites» publicado a principios de 1984 y «Some Heads Are Gonna Roll» puesto a la venta en marzo del mismo año. Por su parte, a principios de enero comenzó su gira promocional denominada Metal Conqueror Tour, que destacó porque los llevó por primera vez a España y porque en varios de sus conciertos fueron tocadas todas las canciones del álbum a excepción de «Eat Me Alive». Como dato en el 2008 y durante la gira del disco Nostradamus, «Eat Me Alive» fue tocada en vivo convirtiendo a Defenders of the Faith en su segunda producción en ser interpretada completamente en directo después de Rocka Rolla.

Portada

Su portada fue concebida por la propia banda y el dibujo del personaje fue obra de Doug Johnson, el mismo artista que creó al ave metálica llamada The Hellion en Screaming for Vengeance. El personaje que aparece en esta portada se llama The Metallian, una criatura similar a un tigre con cuernos de carnero y con cuerpo con forma de tanque, que fue creada por los propios integrantes de la banda. De acuerdo a Downing necesitaban una portada llamativa que reflejara el título del disco y por ello crearon a The Metallian como un ser defensor del heavy metal.

Al igual que en Screaming for Vengeance, en su contraportada se escribió un mensaje con la idea de contar una breve historia de esta criatura: «Emerge desde la oscuridad, donde el infierno no tiene piedad y los ecos de los gritos de venganza estarán por siempre. Solo aquellos que conservan su fe escaparán de la ira de The Metallian... Maestro de todo el metal».

Q: Stumped by d3 error I'm receiving - Error:  attribute d: Expected number, "M0,NaNL21.923076923…" I'm trying to convert a d3 sparkline example on codepen (https://codepen.io/jakelear-1472051722/pen/bRbqBB) so that it pulls data in from a csv file. Here is my code:
d3.csv("sparkline.csv", function (error, data) {

    if (error) throw error;

    // format the data
    data.forEach(function (d) {
        currentValue = +d.currentValue;

    });

    var graph = d3.select('.sparkline').append("svg").attr("width", "100%").attr("height", "100%");

    var height = parseInt(graph.style("height"));
    var width = parseInt(graph.style("width"));

    var x = d3.scaleLinear()
        .domain([0, data.length])
        .range([0, width]);

    var y = d3.scaleLinear()
        .domain([0, d3.max(data)])
        .range([height, 0]);

    var line = d3.line()
        .x(function(d,i) {
            return x(i);
        })

        .y(function(d) {
            return y(currentValue);
        });

    graph.append("path")
        .data([data])
        .attr("class", "line")
        .attr("d", line);

});

I'm receiving the following error: d3.v4.js:1382 Error:  attribute d: Expected number, "M0,NaNL21.923076923…" and have been struggling trying to figure this out.
The contents of my CSV file:

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure it's something small I'm just not seeing.
Thanks

A: data is not a simple, flat array, but an array of objects.
Therefore, it should be:
var y = d3.scaleLinear()
    .domain([0, d3.max(data, function(d){ return d.currentValue})])
    .range([height, 0]);

Besides that, remember to correctly provide a reference to the object. In the forEach loop:
data.forEach(function (d) {
    d.currentValue = +d.currentValue;

});

And in the line generator:
var line = d3.line()
    .x(function(d,i) {
        return x(i);
    })

    .y(function(d) {
        return y(d.currentValue);
    });

M. Night Shyamalan speaks onstage at Universal Pictures' "Glass" and "Halloween" panels during Comic-Con International 2018 at San Diego Convention Center on July 20, 2018, in San Diego, California.
Director M. Night Shyamalan says he could have launched the trailer for "Glass" in front of the summer's biggest movies, but that he wanted to hold it for Comic-Con.
"It was always meant for you guys," he said.
The kind of people who turn out for Comic-Con and wait in the massive and sometimes overnight line to get into Hall H are the same kind who once helped turn "Unbreakable" into an enduring film even after it got lukewarm reviews from critics.
"I've been dreaming about being in this hall forever," Shyamalan said. "This is the mecca right here."
"Glass" melds the worlds of "Unbreakable" and "Split," two very different films about three very different superhumans, Samuel L. Jackson's fragile but brilliant Mr. Glass, Bruce Willis' strong and "unbreakable" David Dunn and James McAvoy's Kevin Wendell Crumb, who has 24 personalities. The three actors reprise their roles in "Glass."
The trailer showed the three in an asylum being interviewed by a psychiatrist played by Sarah Paulson who believes that their powers are merely delusions of grandeur.
All but McAvoy, who was sick, turned up in San Diego to promote the film in the convention's largest venue, the 6,500-seat Hall H.
Shyamalan marveled at how different things are for comic book films now versus when he was preparing to promote "Unbreakable" in 2000. He recalled the studio's marketing team explaining then that they were going to avoid using the term "comic book" because it was a fringe genre.
"It's fascinating given what's happened since then," he said.
While little was revealed about what will occur in the film, Shyamalan did tease that his film will likely be on the edge of a PG-13 and R-rating. It will be released in North American theaters in January.

Albertas Oil Sands Are Driving The Future Of Cleantech
For years, Alberta's oil sands have been a major driver of the Canadian economy. But with the collapse in global crude oil demand as a result of the pandemic, key players in the region are looking for new opportunities for Alberta's traditional resources.
Alberta Innovates, the province's innovation engine, is responsible for the Bitumen Beyond Combustion (BBC) program, which aims to find alternative applications for Alberta's massive stores of bitumen. The need for diverse applications of bitumen has taken on new urgency with the growing popularity of electric vehicles and their impact on oil demand.
"Diverting bitumen to new materials could reduce emissions, increase economic value, create jobs, diversify the economy, and perhaps even birth new industries," explains Bryan Helfenbaum, Executive Director of Advanced Hydrocarbons in the Clean Resources division of Alberta Innovates.
Alberta's tech sector is growing and creating jobs
These are two findings in the Alberta Enterprise Corporation's 2021 Alberta Technology Deal Flow Study that reveals the number of technology companies in the province has more than doubled since 2012. The majority – 58 per cent – are located in Calgary, 30 per cent are in Edmonton and almos...Continue Reading

Former HK governor"s remarks draw criticcustom printed silicone wristbandsism
South By Southwest (Sxsw) Music Festival Austin, Texas On March 6 American rapper Big Boi announced headlining tour dates on his official website for the spring of 2013. The North American leg of his "Shoes For Running" tour begins on April 18 in Athens, Ga. and ends on June 19 in Boston. You can view a complete list of tour dates below. Undoubtedly you will want the event to be sport wristbands centred on those to whom you are going to address. Each specific type of audience will have different issues and interests. I mean when given a choice to BS the public and defame a Conservative, the press seems to choose the run down the Republican option, almost without fail. So when there is no Republican to blame, will these paragons of virtue, the American Press Corps, do their jobs as the Fourth Estate, or will they practice their part-time avocation - prop up a Lefty, regardless of fact, truth or common sense? She Wants Revenge--Justin Warfield (vocals, guitars, keyboards) and Adam Bravin (bass, guitar, keyboards, guitar, drum machine, percussion, programming, vocals) along with Thomas Foggart (guitars) and Scott Ellis (drums)-performed various times at this year"s festival wristbands in Austin, TX and also helped close out this year"s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on Sunday, April 17. Once you have an idea of how much space you require, you can go about choosing the right size. It is generally helpful to have a per person estimation of space in square feet. This can help you work out how much space you will need depending on the number of people expected. The space required per person, for a buffet-event wristbands is likely to be smaller than that needed for a seated event. Halloween is celebrated for one full month. It entails wearing scary costumes, parties and so on. Based on the character you have to wear accessories also, you can wear a wristband with a message to influence others. Even crazy messages like "trick or treat!" can be engraved on these items during these times. These items are great for parties aside from it being an accessory, and people will be delighted in it.

The head of the commissioner"s office of China"s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region strongly hit out at former British governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, over his "absurd" remarks on Hong Kong"s situation.
Patten should stop telling blatant lies, the official said, lashing out at an article published in the Financial Times on Saturday. Patten was urged to respect the facts and stop misbehaving.
"Since Hong Kong"s return to the motherland in 1997, China"s central government — in strict accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law — has ensured a high degree of autonomy in the HKSAR by firmly implementing the principles of "One Country, Two Systems" and "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong", said the official in a statement on the office"s website.
Prosperity, stability and freedom since HK"s return
Such efforts have achieved widely recognized success, given the significant improvement of Hong Kong's international influence and competitiveness, the official said.
Hong Kong now has an economy twice the size of what it was in 1997 — ranked the world"s freest for over 20 consecutive years by the US" Heritage Foundation think tank — while it leapfrogged from 60th in 1996 to 16th in 2018 on the Independent Commission Against Corruption"s Rule of Law Index, according to the statement.
