Croydon's state-of-the-art £6.5m youth zone gets under way
Work is about to begin on Legacy, Croydon's new £6.5m state-of-the art youth zone offering young people a fantastic range of world-class facilities and activities.
Contractors will arrive on the Whitehorse Road site this month to kick-off the extensive programme of works, including the demolition of the former Whitehorse Youth Centre, which will see the centre open in 2019.
Developed by the charity OnSide with a £3.25m investment from Croydon Council, the youth zone will be open every night, throughout the year, to young people aged between eight and 19, and up to 25 for those with additional needs.
From sports in the four-court sports hall, gym, 3G kick pitch and martial arts room, to music in the state-of-the-art music suite with its own recording studio, the new youth zone will offer something for everyone. This includes art, drama, dance, enterprise and employability opportunities – and hot, nutritious meals for just £1.
Croydon Council has contributed £3.25m of the £6.5m capital costs as well as £300,000 per year towards the annual running costs. OnSide has raised the remaining upfront costs through the generosity of a range of trusts and grants, including funding from the Queen's Trust and the Stone Family Foundation, and is looking for the support of local businesses and philanthropists who are also committed to Croydon's young people.
The Youth Zone will open in 2019 with young people paying just £5 for an annual membership and then just 50p per visit.
Young people have played a key role in shaping the facilities and activities that will be on offer at Croydon's Legacy and those on the steering group are excited that the development will soon be underway.
Coulsdon College student Kadian Foster, 18, said: "It's very exciting – I can't wait for young people to use the new youth zone and have a place that they can express themselves – I feel like that's something that's been missing in Croydon. I hope the youth zone will give them the opportunity to do whatever they want in terms of arts, sport and all the activities on offer."
Ben Bracken, 16, youth engager for Crystal Palace Football Club, added: "Legacy will be such a good place for young people to come and be off the streets. There will be stuff happening indoors and out – football, sports, arts – it meets everyone's needs."
"We are proud to be investing in this fantastic project and working in partnership with OnSide to deliver this amazing facility for young people in Croydon. Legacy will give young people in Croydon a huge range of sporting and creative opportunities in first class facilities – opportunities that we know that young people in Croydon want.
"Through our Choose Your Future campaign, the council is encouraging and supporting young people to make positive life choices and Legacy is a really important part of this. I'm delighted that the development is moving forward."
Councillor Tony Newman, leader of the council
OnSide Youth Zones project director Jamie Masraff said: "We are absolutely delighted to be at the stage now where the dream becomes a reality and we're extremely excited about getting on site and building this amazing facility for Croydon's young people."

O tachelhit (), tachelhiyt, tasusit, shilha (), chelha, chleuh ou amazirt n Suss (berbere do Suz) é um idioma do sul de Marrocos, falada pelos chleuhs (ou ichelhin). É a língua berbere mais importante de Marrocos em número de falantes e em área.

É falado numa área que vai desde as encostas meridionais do Alto Atlas (eixo Demnat-Ouarzazate), a norte, até aos limites sul do Anti-Atlas, e desde a costa atlântica, a oeste, até ao Vale do Drá, a leste. O núcleo geográfico central do tachelhit corresponde aproximadamente à região histórica do Suz.

O tachelhit é chamado tasusit pelos falantes de amazigue do sudeste marroquino, para o distinguirem da sua própria língua, a que eles também chamam tachelhit, mas a intercompreensão entre os dois idiomas não é completo.

O idioma é conhecido pela riqueza da sua literatura oral. A literatura escrita, usando , surge a partir da segunda metade do .   é o poeta mais prolífico da tradição literária tachelhit.

Geografia e demografia

O Suz (Souss), a região do sudoeste de Marrocos correspondente à divisão administrativa de Souss-Massa-Drâa, é a zona central do tachelhit. Os seus habitantes são os Aït Souss (Ist Souss no feminino), Ousous no singular (Oultsous no feminino). A capital da região, Agadir, é a cidade com mais falantes de tachelhit.

Não há estatísticas fiáveis sobre o número de falantes de tachelhit. Os dados recolhidos sobre o assunto no censo de 1994 não foram publicados. As estimativas consideradas mais fiáveis, como as de Harry Stroomer, diretor do Departamento de Estudos Berberes da Universidade de Leida, apontam para 8 a 9 milhões de falantes de tachelhit no mundo, contando não só os falantes de Marrocos, mas também as comunidades emigrantes ou descendentes de emigrantes, nomeadamente na França, Bélgica, Alemanha, Países Baixos e Israel. Estas estimativas levaram o estudioso belga a concluir que o tachelhit é a língua berbere mais falada do mundo.

Em Marrocos, fora do das zonas rurais, é raro que os falantes de tachelhit sejam monolingues, sendo normalmente bilingues (tachelit e ) ou trilingues (francófonos além das outras duas línguas).

Escritas
Shilha foi escrito com vários alfabetos diferentes. Historicamente, a escrita árabe tem sido dominante. O uso da escrita latina surgiu no final do século XIX. Mais recentemente, houve uma iniciativa para escrever Shilha em Tifinagh.

Tifinagh
Tifinagh (ou melhor, Neo-Tifinagh) foi introduzido no final da década de 1990 e seu uso é agora apoiado pelas autoridades marroquinas, em uma forma padronizada promulgada pelo Instituto Real da Cultura Amazigue (IRCAM, Rabat). Publicações inteiramente impressas em Tifinagh ainda permanecem raras, e apenas uma pequena proporção de falantes Shilha, se houver, são capazes de lidar com a nova escrita com confiança. Seu principal papel é emblemático, o de um ícone cultural. Como tal, Tifinagh entrou no espaço público, com os sinais da cidade mostrando agora o nome em Tifinagh, bem como em árabe e latim.

Latina
Muitos textos shilha da tradição oral foram publicados desde o século XIX, transcritos em escrita latina. Publicações antigas exibem uma ampla variedade de sistemas de transcrição. Stumme (1899) e Destaing (1920, 1940) usam uma elaborada transcrição fonética, enquanto Justinard (1914) e Laoust (1936) empregam uma transcrição baseada em convenções ortográficas francesas. Um novo padrão foi estabelecido por Aspinion (1953), que usa uma transcrição simples, mas precisa, em grande parte fonêmica, com hifenização.

A maioria das publicações acadêmicas das últimas décadas usa um alfabeto berbere latino transcrita (como usado neste artigo)ref>In this article, the graphs š and ž are used instead of standard c and j in order to make the transcribed examples more accessible to readers with no background in berberology.</ref> The most unusual feature of this orthography is the employment of the symbol ɛ (Greek epsilon) to represent  (voiced epiglottal fricative), for example taɛmamt  "turban". Except with ḥ (= IPA ), the subscript dot indicates pharyngealisation, for example aḍrḍur  "deaf person". Geminated and long consonants are transcribed with doubled symbols, for example tassmi "needle", aggʷrn "flour". Word divisions are generally disjunctive, with clitics written as separate words (not hyphenated).

Árabe

;Tradicional
Os textos manuscritos tradicionais de Shilha são escritos em uma ortografia convencionalizada em escrita árabe magrebe. inalterado desde pelo menos o final do século 16, e ainda é usado hoje em círculos de estudiosos islâmicos tradicionais ( ṭṭlba ). As principais características da ortografia tradicional são o uso de duas letras extras ( kāf  com três pontos para  g , e  ṣād  com três pontos para  ẓ ) e vocalização completa ( vogais escritas com  fatḥah ,  kasrah  e  ḍammah ). Elementos clíticos são escritos ligados a um substantivo ou forma verbal (ortografia conjunta).

Moderna
Desde a década de 1970, um bom número de livros em Shilha foi publicado dentro do Marrocos, escrito em um novo e prático texto de ortografia berbere árabe. As principais características dessa ortografia são a representação de vogais  a, i, u  pelas letras  alif, yā', wāw , e a não utilização de sinais de vocalização diferentes de  shaddah  (para indicar geminação de consoantes) e "ḍammah" (para indicar a labialização de consoantes velares e uvulares). A consoante  g  é escrita com گ, e  ẓ  é escrita com زٜ ( zāy  com ponto abaixo) ou não é diferente de  z . Separações de palavras são na maioria disjuntivas.

Fonologia

Tonicidade e intonação
Tonicidade e entonação em Shilha são objeto de uma monografia de Roettger (2017), que utilizou testes instrumentais. Ele estabeleceu o fato de que a Shilha não tem tonicidade lexical (Roettger 2017: 59), como observado anteriormente por Stumme (1899: 14) e Galand (1988, 2.16)

Vogais
Shilha tem três vogais fonêmicas, com extensão sem característica distintiva. The vowels show a fairly wide range of allophones. A vogal / a / é mais frequentemente percebida como [a] ou [æ], e / u / é pronunciada sem nenhum arredondamento perceptível, exceto quando adjacente a  w . A presença de uma consoante faringealizada convida a uma realização mais centralizada da vogal, como em "kraḍ"  "três",  kkuẓ   " quatro ",  sḍis  " seis "(compare  yan  " um ",  sin   "two",  semmus   "cinco").

Vogais fonêmicas adicionais ocorrem esporadicamente em palavras de empréstimo recentes, por exemplo / o / como em  rristora  "restaurant" (do francês).

Vogais transicionais e Schwa"
Além das três vogais fonêmicas, há vogais transicionais não-fonêmicas, muitas vezes coletivamente referidas como "xevá". Tipicamente, uma vogal transitória é audível após o início de uma sílaba vogal CC ou CCC, se qualquer uma das consoantes flanqueadoras, ou ambas, forem dubladas., por exemplo,  tigemmi   "casa",  ameḥḍar   "estudante". Nas transcrições fonéticas de Stumme (1899) e Destaing (1920, 1940), muitas dessas vogais transicionais são indicadas.

Autores posteriores, como Aspinion (1953), usam o símbolo ⟩e⟩ para marcar o local onde uma vogal transicional pode ser ouvida, independentemente de sua qualidade, e também escrevem ⟩e⟩ onde, na realidade, nenhuma vogal, por menor que seja, é ouvida , por exemplo ⟨akessab⟩  "proprietário de gado", iar išetta⟩  "ele está comendo". O símbolo ⟨e⟩, frequentemente referido como "schwa", como usado por Aspinion e outros, torna-se assim um dispositivo puramente gráfico empregado para indicar que a consoante precedente é um início silábico: [ak⟨e⟩s.sab], [ a.ri.š⟨e⟩t.ta]. Como Galand observou, a notação de "schwa" (xevá) resulta de fato de "hábitos estranhos a Shilha".. E, como conclusivamente mostrado por Ridouane (2008), as vogais transicionais ou "intrusivas" não podem sequer receber o status de vogais epentéticas. É, portanto, preferível não escrever vogais transicionais ou "schwa", e transcrever as vogais de uma maneira estritamente fonêmica, como em Galand (1988) e em todas as edições de texto recentes..

Hiatos
Hiatos não ocorrem dentro de um morfema, ou seja, um morfema nunca contém uma sequência de duas vogais sem uma consoante interveniente. Se o hiato surge quando uma vogal morfema-final e uma vogal morfema inicial se juntam no contexto, existem várias estratégias para lidar com isso.. A primeira das duas vogais pode ser elidida ou, alternativamente, a semivogal 'y' 'pode ser inserida para manter as vogais separadas:
 / tumẓn ula asngar / →  tumẓin ulasngar  ou  tumẓin ula y asngar  "cevada e milho"
 / fukku anɣ / →  fukkanɣ  ou  fukku y anɣ  "liberte-nos!"
Menos comumente, vogais / i / e / u / podem mudar para  y  e  w : / ddu-at / "go ye!" (imperativo plural masculino) é realizado como  dduyat  (com inserido  y ) ou como  ddwat

Consoantes

Shilha tem trinta e três consoantes fonêmicas. Como outras línguas berberes e o árabe, tem tanto faringealização ("enfática") como consoantes dentais simples. Há também uma distinção entre labialização e simples consoantes dorsais obstruentes. Geminação e extensão da vogal são contrastivas.

A tabela abaixo representa as consoantes na transcrição latina padrão. Onde a transcrição difere da ortografia IPA, a transcrição latina está em negrito.

Consoantes fonêmicas adicionais ocorrem esporadicamente em termos de empréstimo recentes, por exemplo / bʷ / como em  bbʷa  "(meu) pai" (do árabe marroquino), e / p / como em  laplaž  "praia" ( do francês).

Literatura
À semelhança doutras línguas berberes, o tachelhit tem um corpus importante de literatura oral numa grande variedade de géneros. Entre estes destacam-se as fábulas e contos de animais, contados pelas mulheres, as lendas (H'mad ounamir e outras), as histórias de imãs ou de  (estudantes de madraças), enigmas, etc. Há também um tradição literária escrita, menos conhecida, que remonta ao .

Durante pelo menos quatro séculos, o tachelhit foi escritos com letras locais, numa variedade magrebina do alfabeto árabe. O autor mais prolífico desta tradição foi Mohamed Awzal (1680-1749). O texto mais longo existente em tachelhit é um comentário sobre o El-Hawd, a principal obra literária de Awzal, intitulado El-Mandja ("A Pastagem"), escrito por  (1844-1899).

Há duas coleções importantes de manuscritos em tachelhit em Aix-en-Provence (espólio do linguista Arsène Roux) e em Leida. Praticamente todos os escritos são de natureza religiosa e o seu principal objetivo era instruir as gentes comuns iletradas. Muitos desses textos foram escritos em verso para facilitar a memorização e a recitação.

A língua escrita difere em alguns aspetos da falada. Os textos manuscritos, por exemplo, habitualmente contêm uma mistura de variantes dialetais que não se encontram  num dialeto simples. A língua dos manuscritos comporta igualmente um número superior de termos árabes do que a forma oral, um fenómeno chamada de "arabismo poético" por Paulette Galand-Pernet. Outras carcaterísticas da língua escrita incluem a utilização duma forma plural em vez do singular.

Vocabulário
Como todas as línguas berberes, o tachelhit absorveu um grande número de palavras  árabes, particularmente no domínio religioso. No entanto, o tachelhit é uma das línguas berberes do grupo norte menos contaminadas: a taxa de empréstimo do árabe, é da ordem dos 25%, muito inferior à das línguas mediterrânicas, como por exemplo, o cabila com 38%. O tachelhit é igualmente uma das raras línguas berberes que conservou a antiga numeração berbere, embora nas zonas de contacto mais intenso, nomeadamente urbanas, a numeração árabe tem tendência expandir-se.

Há variações de uma região para outra, as quais não poem em causa a intercompreensão. A estrutura gramatical e de vocabulário é próxima de outras línguas berberes.

Provérbios tachelhit
Aquele que chama o vento não chora sobre a palha (não se lamentar as consequências daquilo que desejaste).
Aquele que quer obter farinha deve estender as pernas para fazer rodar a mó.
Só a tua mão coçará onde tens comichão (não contes com mais ninguém senão tu próprio em caso de desgraça).
Aquele que recorre aos Ttêlba (aos letrados) para que lhe leiam o Alcorão todo não se lastima quando eles comem a metade da tigela de manteiga (quando se quer alguma coisa não se pode olhar a despesas).
Aquele que quer coisas agradáveis deve suportar com paciência as coisas desagradáveis (a felicidade está na resignação).
Aquele que não tem paciência terá cólicas.
O homem inteligente compreende, o burro come a palha.

The gateway to the interior, Rohn Roadhouse marks the transition point where the mushers start to venture into the flatlands of the interior, along with dropping temperatures. Situated near the confluence of the South Fork of the Kuskokwim and Tatina Rivers, the area served as one of the original Iditarod Trail Roadhouses for the dog teams carrying mail, etc. The actual roadhouse is gone, so the checkpoint is a cabin built in the 1930's. NOTE: Most press people refer to this as the Rohn River checkpoint, but there is no Rohn River. It's Rohn Roadhouse. Mushers often decide to take their 24-hour layover here before heading across the bleak but treacherous Farewell Burn area. There are no facilities for visitors to the checkpoint.

Open the door of parallel world
I am actually not these, nor in this world. In the parallel world, I am all these, even more.
I am not crazy, nor am I telling science fiction stories. According to the multiworld interpretation, these are the facts.
Multi-world interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics. It believes that there are many parallel worlds in the same time and space as our world. The multi-world interpretation also believes that every choice I make in this world will produce multiple parallel worlds: each world corresponds to one of the choices I made. It can be said that in fact all possible things have already happened or will happen, but they are in different parallel worlds.
What impact will the existence of the parallel world have on our lives? Should we worry about this? One strategy is that we can completely ignore the other worlds. After all, the multi-world interpretation has told us that it is impossible for you to communicate with another world, let alone encounter you in another world. However, if the multi-world interpretation is correct, it will indeed produce many novel inferences, which can be said to change our worldview.
Subvert your worldview
you have multiple identities
possibility of everything that happens in the universe there are numerous species, then it means that the universe has an infinite number of parallel worlds, each world tells a different story about the universe. Based on this, we can re-examine human nature. For example, in a certain world, you may never kill anyone, but you may have this idea; in another world, you actually did it; and in another world, you will be the scariest place there Murderer; on the contrary, in another world, you are working hard to bring peace there.
You are no different with others,
though you are a terrorist murderer in one world, but do not worry, in fact, anyone will be so in a world. Although everyone is different in this world, if you consider other worlds, it is clear that everyone will be very similar.
You can live forever
First, let's talk about a thought experiment called "quantum suicide". This experiment only needs to replace the cat in Schrödinger's cat experiment with an experimenter. According to the classical quantum interpretation, in every experiment, the experimenter has a half probability of surviving, so after any experiment, the probability of the experimenter's survival will be lower and lower. However, according to the multi-world interpretation, no matter how many experiments are passed, there will always be a world in which the experimenter will never die and the survival probability will always be 100%. This situation is called "quantum immortality".
Technically speaking, everyone can live forever in a certain world. Although the traditional view is that we live in the world for a period of time, then rot underground and return to various molecules. But parallel worlds have opened one door after another for life: even if you die in this world, you are still alive in another world, and there can be infinitely many worlds in the universe, so You can exist in this universe forever, unless the entire universe is destroyed.
We're just a projection
British American physicist David Bohm has proposed holographic universe theory, we believe that an independent entity directly visible to the naked eye three-dimensional material world, is actually a projection of higher dimensions as a whole, we can not due Understand the wholeness of higher dimensions, and mistakenly think that what we see are independent individuals. This view is actually similar to the multi-world interpretation. The multi-world interpretation believes that the entire universe is a whole composed of an infinite number of worlds, and the world we observe is only a small part of the reality in this universe, and the others are hidden from view. So, we are just a shadow cast by the entire universe.
Reality to us to create
even though we only live in a world in which, although we are involved in the process of creating this world. Every quantum experiment, every choice, will determine the direction of our world. The world we live in has a unique past, and we may not be able to change it, but in the future it will evolve into multiple worlds, and part of the decision is in our hands. Want to live in a better world? Then make your own major choice.
Maybe nothing is true
There are countless worlds in the universe, and every possibility is real. But since everything is true, it can also be said that nothing is true. Our world is just one of countless dreams. Although it seems that this view has negative elements, it may be the case.
These are all our inferences about the parallel world, but you have to understand that in the future there will be hundreds of millions of you considering these inferences from different angles, which will give you hundreds of millions of thoughts, and one of them will eventually become You in this world.
Why have a parallel world
intricate Schrodinger's Cat
parallel world is so mysterious, how many scientific basis of it? Or is it just a scientist's random thinking? Quantum theory gives a clear answer to this: The parallel world is based on scientific deduction, although we cannot confirm it through observations.
In the quantum world, microscopic particles can be in multiple states at the same time. This state is called a superposition state, and physicists can use a mathematical tool called a wave function to describe it. But in reality, when we detect microscopic particles, the superposition of the particles disappears automatically, and only one result is finally obtained. Why? Traditional quantum theory believes that once an observer observes a particle, the wave function will "collapse" and become one of the states randomly. This traditional view is the Copenhagen interpretation, which was mainly put forward by the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in their joint research in Copenhagen in 1927.
Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger did not agree with the Copenhagen interpretation, so he gave a very famous thought experiment-Schrödinger's cat. If you put a cat, radioactive nucleus, and a glass bottle containing highly toxic gas in a closed box, when the detector in the box detects decay particles, it will break a glass bottle with highly toxic gas. Would kill the cat. Radioactive nuclei have a half probability of decay, but if no observations are made, the decay particles are in a superposition state of both existence and nonexistence. In this way, after the experiment is carried out for a period of time, the cat will be in the superposition state of both alive and dead at the same time, unless you open the box to observe the internal situation, so that measuring the state of the cat will make the superposition state of the cat alive and dead mutate into the only state , Which is the collapse of the wave function.
The biggest question of Copenhagen's interpretation: Why does the measurement cause the wave function to collapse? How does the wave function collapse? These questions are always difficult to answer and become the biggest weakness of Copenhagen's interpretation.
So the multi-world interpretation came. It was first proposed by American physicist Hugh Everett in 1957. Multi-world interpretation believes that every measurement result has already "occurred", but is in a different "world" or "universe". In this way, the wave function does not collapse at all, and the state of the particle is still a superposition state. For example, for Schrödinger's cat, Everett believes that after opening the box, the universe split into two worlds: in one world the cat is alive, and in the other world the cat is dead. Once separated, these worlds go their separate ways, and there is no intersection between them.
a quantum measurement can produce both worlds, if we regularly carry out quantum measurements, are we going to produce an infinite number of different worlds? In order to explain the quantum measurement problem, as to this? This question may seem confusing, but it is not so marginal.
To understand why the multi-world interpretation is like this, let's compare classical physics and quantum physics. In classical mechanics, objects can have a definite state and can be directly observed, but this is not the case in the quantum world. For example, a microscopic particle, in which there are two spin directions: upward and downward. If it is classical mechanics, then the possible states of the particle are:
"spin up" or "spin down"
. For quantum mechanics, the particle is in a superposition of all states at the same time. We can superpose this The state is expressed in the following form:
"spin up" + "spin down".
Among them, the above "+" means to superimpose the two states together.
In order to describe the measurement process of this superposition state, we have to add an observer. But this does not mean that we need a "conscious" observer, we can only need an instrument that can detect the microscopic world. The observer can be a living person or just a video recorder. To avoid confusion, we just call it an "instrument."
In most cases, the state of the instrument and the particles are independent of each other. If the instrument is taken into consideration, there are two situations. According to the traditional view, when an instrument observes a particle, the quantum state will collapse into one of two possible states: spin up or spin down, which is the case:
("spin up"; instrument says "Face up") or ("spin down"; the instrument says "face down").
So, why not change "or" to "+"? Therefore, when the instrument observes particles, the final situation is this:
("spin up"; instrument says "up") + ("spin down"; instrument says "down").
This situation means that the instrument enters the superposition state together with the particle, and the original wave function of the particle will not collapse. The instrument has entered a superposition state, indicating that it is in a variety of states, but we only get one of the observation results in reality, and never found that the instrument can display multiple observation results at the same time. Why is this?
Because in reality, besides this particle and instrument, there are other things: here are other things on the earth, and the outside of the earth is a vast space. These things—they are called "environments" in combination—also have a quantum state. The photons and air molecules in the environment will constantly collide with the instrument. In this way, we cannot isolate the instrument from the environment, but should take the environment into consideration. Thus, the superposition state of the system can be written in the following form:
("spin up"; instrument says "up"; environment 1) + ("spin down"; instrument says "down"; environment 2).
It can be seen that the environment split into two independent environments. This means that when we make quantum measurements, the wave function has never collapsed, but there will be two worlds that have nothing to do with each other in the universe.
In the above discussion, we only used the basic laws of quantum mechanics, so quantum mechanics itself contains the idea of parallel worlds, whether you like it or not.
Interactive parallel world
a lot and limited parallel world
I said before, Everett's many-worlds interpretation is the wave function as an important part of the theory, and the predicted and experimental results perfectly match. But what exactly is the wave function? Is reality real, or is it just a calculation tool we invented? What is the reality?
To solve this confusion, physicist Howard Wiseman from Griffith University in Australia and his colleagues recently found a way. Simply put, their method is to remove the concept of wave function and replace it with a large but limited parallel world. They claim that our world shares the same space with a large number of other worlds, and that Newton's classical laws of physics are followed in each world. The particles in our world can produce a subtle force with the particles in all other worlds. What we think of as weird phenomena in the quantum world is the result of these worlds colliding with each other. If the interaction between these worlds does not exist, or there is only one world, then all quantum phenomena will disappear and Newtonian physics will rule everything.
This theory is called the interactive parallel world theory. In addition to the absence of the concept of wave function, this theory differs from the multi-world interpretation in that: the number of parallel worlds is limited; parallel worlds have always existed even before quantum measurement; parallel worlds can interact with each other through corresponding particles. effect.
In order to prove that their theory is indeed feasible, Wiseman and his colleagues used their interactive parallel world theory to explain some quantum phenomena. They chose a typical experiment, the double-slit interference experiment. In this experiment, photons are emitted from the emitter one by one, pass through two parallel slits, and reach the photosensitive plate behind. If the photon is just a particle, then you will see two spots on the photosensitive plate corresponding to the slits. But this is not the case. The light and dark interference fringes appear on the photosensitive plate. How do interference fringes appear? It is generally believed that photons are also a kind of waves, which can pass through two slits at the same time, and the two waves formed after passing through will interfere with each other. This experiment shows that photons have wave-particle duality.
According to the interactive parallel world theory, each photon interacts with the "ghost" photon in other worlds, which makes the photon path of our world produce specific changes. Wiseman and his colleagues found that only 41 worlds are needed to produce the same interference fringes as the experiment.
Maybe you can really talk to another world
They said that the interaction between multiple worlds may explain many unsolved mysteries, such as gravity. For a long time, among the four basic forces of gravity, electromagnetic force, strong force and weak force, gravity and the other three forces cannot be unified. This is one of the biggest problems in modern theoretical physics. If gravity comes from the force of other worlds on our world, it is normal that it cannot be combined with the other three forces.
In addition, the prediction of quantum phenomena made by Schrodinger's equation is equivalent to an infinite number of multiple worlds. If the number of the world is finite, then the Schrodinger equation is only an approximation. Through careful observation and analysis of experiments, we may also determine how many worlds exist.
However, this theory is still in its infancy and needs a lot of theoretical support. Whether it can completely replace the wave function, physicists are still uncertain. But if this theory is correct, then comes an exciting possibility: we can find evidence of the existence of other worlds through experiments, and even communicate with other worlds indirectly. Maybe one day, you will really talk to you in another world.

Szpiegostwo – forma działalności wywiadowczej polegająca na zdobywaniu informacji stanowiących tajemnice i przekazywaniu ich instytucji wywiadowczej. W większości państw świata szpiegostwo na rzecz obcego państwa jest przestępstwem kryminalnym zagrożonym najwyższymi karami.

Charakterystyka szpiegostwa

Charakterystycznymi elementami szpiegostwa są:
 tajność działania – maskowanie się szpiega, działanie w konspiracji pod przykrywką innej, ale legalnej działalności,
 zdobywanie wiadomości – wszelkie sposoby na zdobywanie informacji będących tajemnicą,
 dobór wiadomości – charakter przekazanych informacji, dokumentów; wiąże się z łamaniem tajemnicy służbowej, państwowej i wojskowej,
 przekazywanie wiadomości przedstawicielom organizacji wywiadowczych – szereg czynności polegających na tajnej ekspedycji informacji w różnych formach – przewiezienie we własnej pamięci, przy użyciu skrytki, szyfrem, pismem utajonym, drogą radiową, pocztową, przez sieci komputerowe itp.

Przykładami spektakularnych operacji wywiadowczych kwalifikowanych jako szpiegostwo były m.in. zdobycie przez ZSRR w latach 40 XX wieku amerykańskiej technologii produkcji bomby atomowej i potem bomby wodorowej czy w latach 60. XX w. niektórych francusko-brytyjskich technologii naddźwiękowego samolotu Concorde (zastosowanych m.in. w samolocie Tu-144). Także Polska przeprowadzała operacje wywiadowcze kwalifikowane jako szpiegostwo przez systemy prawne państw, w których polscy wywiadowcy zdobywali informacje – m.in. mjr Jerzy Sosnowski w Rzeszy Niemieckiej zwerbował wiele OZI informujących SG WP o Reichswehr oraz w USA Marian Zacharski zdobył wiele informacji o technice wojskowej.

Szpiegostwo w polskim prawie karnym

Dwudziestolecie międzywojenne
W okresie międzywojennym przestępstwo szpiegostwa zostało uregulowane w:

 Rozporządzeniu Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 16 lutego 1928 r. o karach za szpiegostwo i niektóre inne przestępstwa przeciw Państwu (Dz.U. z 1928 r. nr 18, poz. 160), oscylując wokół dwóch typów zachowań, tj. ujawnieniu (art. 1) bądź zakomunikowaniu (art. 3 i 4) wiadomości, dokumentów lub przedmiotów, które należy zachować w tajemnicy przed rządem obcego państwa lub osobą działającą w jego interesie.
 Rozporządzeniu Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 11 lipca 1932 r. Kodeks karny (Dz.U. z 1932 r. nr 60, poz. 571), koncentrując się w art. 99 na fakcie wejścia w porozumienie z osobą działająca w interesie obcego państwa lub organizacji międzynarodowej przeciw Państwu Polskiemu. Dla prawodawcy istotna stał się więc sama współpraca – "wejścia w porozumienie", bez konkretyzacji, na czym to porozumienie będzie polegało.
 Rozporządzeniu Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 24 października 1934 r. o niektórych przestępstwach przeciwko bezpieczeństwu Państwa (Dz.U. z 1934 r. nr 94, poz. 851), które w art. 17 odchodzi od powiązania przestępstwa szpiegostwa z jakąś formą "wejścia w porozumienie" na rzecz czynu, który zostanie uznany za "działalność wywiadowczą".
 Dekret Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 22 listopada 1938 r. o ochronie niektórych interesów Państwa (Dz.U. z 1938 r. nr 91, poz. 623) wprowadzał w art. 5–7 kategorię przestępstw przeciwko niezależności życia publicznego, w tym polegające na przyjmowaniu przez obywatela polskiego, od osoby działającej w interesie obcego rządu korzyści majątkowej albo jej obietnicy dla siebie lub innej osoby.

PRL
 Dekret z dnia 13 czerwca 1946 r. o przestępstwach szczególnie niebezpiecznych w okresie odbudowy Państwa (Dz.U. z 1946 r. nr 30, poz. 192), który w art. 7 typizował wyłącznie jedną formę działalności szpiegowskiej w postaci gromadzenia i przekazywania wiadomości.
 Ustawa z dnia 19 kwietnia 1969 r. Kodeks karny (Dz.U. z 1969 r. nr 13, poz. 94, ze zm.), który w art. 124 regulował przestępstwo szpiegostwa zarówno w typie podstawowym, jako branie udziału w obcym wywiadzie lub działanie na rzecz tego wywiadu poprzez udzielanie mu wiadomości, za co groziła kara pozbawienia wolności na czas nie krótszy od lat 5 lub kara śmierci, a jeżeli sprawca działalność tę organizował lub nią kierował, kara pozbawienia wolności nie mogła być niższa od lat 8; oraz typie kwalifikowanym, związanym ze zbieraniem lub przechowywaniem wiadomości w celu ich udzielenia obcemu wywiadowi albo podejmowania się działalności na rzecz obcego wywiadu, zagrożonym karą pozbawienia wolności na czas nie krótszy od lat 5 albo karze 25 lat pozbawienia wolności oraz o sytuację związaną z czynnym żalem, gdy sprawca poniechał dalszej działalności i zawiadomił organ powołany do ścigania przestępstw o wszystkich istotnych okolicznościach popełnionego czynu. Kodeks ten obok przestępstwa szpiegostwa wprowadzał również przestępstwo zdrady, którego sprawcą mógł być tylko obywatel polski. Zdrada była najcięższym i najniebezpieczniejszym przestępstwem skierowanym przeciwko PRL, wywołując jednocześnie istotne problemy doktrynalne i praktyki orzeczniczej w zakresie odróżnienia od przestępstwa szpiegostwa (za kryteria różnicujące uznawano: motyw, elementy obiektywne i narodowość).

III Rzeczpospolita
W obecnie obowiązującej ustawie z dnia 6 czerwca 1997 r. Kodeks karny przestępstwo szpiegostwa zostało uregulowane w art. 130 i przyjmuje postać:

Typu podstawowego
Art. 130 § 1 kk – branie udziału w działalności obcego wywiadu przeciwko Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, zagrożone karą pozbawienia wolności od 1 do 10 lat.

Typu kwalifikowanego
 art. 130 § 2 kk – branie udziału w obcym wywiadzie (tzn. aktywna współpraca związana z przynależnością do struktur obcego wywiadu) i udzielanie temu wywiadowi wiadomości, których przekazanie może wyrządzić szkodę Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, zagrożone karą od 3 lat pozbawienia wolności;
 art. 130 § 2 kk – działanie na rzecz obcego wywiadu (tzn. aktywna współpraca bez przynależności do struktur obcego wywiadu) i udzielanie temu wywiadowi wiadomości, których przekazanie może wyrządzić szkodę Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, zagrożone karą od 3 lat pozbawienia wolności;
 art. 130 § 4 kk – kierowanie działalnością obcego wywiadu (tzn. zajmowanie przez sprawcę w strukturze organizacyjnej wywiadu określonej pozycji bądź też wypełnianie funkcji, z którymi wiąże się wydawanie poleceń, zwłaszcza wobec osób organizujących działalność tego wywiadu), zagrożone karą od 5 lat pozbawienia wolności albo karą 25 lat pozbawienia wolności;
 art. 130 § 4 kk – organizowanie działalności obcego wywiadu (tzn. wszelkie formy zachowania prowadzące do stworzenia organizacji szpiegowskiej, w tym m.in. tworzenie systemu powiązań informacyjnych między poszczególnymi osobami współpracującymi czy mającymi współpracować z wywiadem, wyznaczenie zadań poszczególnym współpracownikom, oznaczenie sposobów kontaktowania się, zaopatrywanie siatki szpiegowskiej w środki ułatwiające jej działalność, werbowanie nowych agentów, szkolenie agentów, dostarczanie im technicznych środków działalności, zbieranie informacji od agentów), zagrożone karą od 5 lat pozbawienia wolności albo karą 25 lat pozbawienia wolności.

This year's tour proved to be quite substantial with gigs in many parts of the country: Falmouth, Aldershot, Leamington Spa, Calstock, Grantham, Hailsworth, South Petherton, Buxton, Haverhill, Lichfield, Stroud, Andover, Worcester, Colchester, Milton Keynes and York. The audience response to our new programme was phenomenal. Most of the gigs were sold out and a huge number of copies of the new CD were sold - and signed.
We decided to devote the first half of each concert to solo items: Gordon, Clive, RB and John. The second half was almost like a party on stage with the wide variety of duos and quartets, and the ever-changing banter. Thankfully my new arrangement of Gordon's greatest hit 'Heartsong' was very well received. As always we began the group set with another Giltrap hit 'Maddie Goes West' which seemed to evolve steadily as the tour progressed - particularly when it was featured as an encore item with John's blistering overdriven solo. A surprising high point was a duo featuring Clive and me: an arrangement of Egberto Gismonti's beautiful 'Agua y Vinho'. There were many high points during the tour (on and off the stage) far too many to mention here. It was a very pleasant surprise to have John Williams in the audience at Calstock Arts Centre.
We're all keen to repeat the experience next year. Fingers crossed it comes off; I can't wait.

I think the guys who will spend $1500 on a new electronic gun are the target audience here, not the broke dudes who frequent a web forum dedicated to reminiscing about how great the old stuff was.
Or those who couldn't afford one back in the day that are older and can afford it now. That's how I was with electros, as I bought a new Etek 5 this year. Most I've ever spent on a paintgun by a wide margin. Not the same price range, but you get the idea.
Also, aren't these pretty limited in number? Like, maybe a few hundred? I've no clue, but I can see why & how these sell like hotcakes. For me, I'll take the old WGPs. I don't care for wall hangers.

When I was little I had many things to look forward to, going to school, and even better, coming home again. I didn't much like school from about the age of twelve for I was constantly bullied. I lacked the ability to fight back because I was timid by nature and far too sensitive. I looked forward to holidays and dreaded the beginning of term. Once I left school I could look forward to college and work and the freedom they gave me. Like anyone else I looked forward to the possibility of a decent future and in my own way concentrated on that but my ambitions were limited and I had no real plans for adult life. I had grown up to be quite an anti-social person and I wouldn't do the things most of my peers would do but eventually I drifted into conformity. Deep in my heart I wanted something different but never seemed to make any strong effort to make it happen. My desires in that direction were not fulfilled until thirteen years ago but you can read about that in my pages above. I enjoyed having personal possessions, house, car (or van now) and everyday items to make life easier though in fact none of these things ever gave me any lasting pleasure. Most of these things have simply become a part of life's routine, they are taken for granted and little consideration is given to any of them until something goes wrong or we wish to replace them with something we might consider an improvement, like the latest phone. We are never satisfied it seems and we chase after the things which don't really matter. In fact our lives wouldn't change much if we didn't have many of the possessions we own. Take the modern telephone for instance, does it really make any difference to own the latest model? It may make our lives a little easier but it won't change our future or destiny in the slightest, we will get to where we are going with or without any of our possessions. So what is there really to look forward to? In the flesh….death, decay and a return to the dust from which we came but we all know that don't we? There is still a future for us because we live on after death. You may say 'well how does she know'? Forgetting for a moment anything to do with a Creator God or the truth of His existence think about who you really are. Is your consciousness dependent upon what you are physically made of? I doubt it for if it were, and we are all made of the same stuff, we would all be the same…..but we are not, we are all very different. We are different because we are spirit. We just happen to dwell in the material world and live in a body made of flesh. That flesh is doomed to perish by design and there is nothing we can do about it but our spirit is something else. In Scripture God tells us that our flesh dies but our spirit returns to Him. That is something many don't wish to believe yet many do believe in the spirit world. It is something to look forward to if you are a believer in God but it may not be something to look forward to if you don't! Either way though it will happen. You can hide yourself away in this material world, bury your head in the sand, never think about such things but none of that matters. You have a destiny one way or the other. Step out in faith, put your trust in Jesus Christ and have something really worthwhile to look forward to. Once I made that decision some 26 years ago I realised that placing my hope and desires in material things left me with nothing to look forward to. Now I have Jesus there is everything to look forward to.

Larry Bagnell in Whitehorse on July 25, 2018. Bagnell said Jane Philpott's resignation from cabinet was "a big loss" but did not comment further, saying he wants to hear other officials testify before coming to any one conclusion. (Crystal Schick/Yukon News file)
Bagnell weighs-in on federal ministers leaving cabinet
Yukon's MP says there needs to be discussions on whether the attorney general and justice minister should be the same person
Julien Gignac
Yukon's MP Larry Bagnell called Jane Philpott's resignation from the federal Liberal cabinet "a big loss" and "really unfortunate" this week.
"Jane was a very good minister," he said.
Philpott left cabinet roughly a week after Jody Wilson-Raybould testified in front of the justice committee that she received "consistent and sustained" pressure to bend to political will in order to prevent Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin from being prosecuted.
"Unfortunately, the evidence of efforts by politicians and/or officials to pressure the former Attorney General to intervene in the criminal case involving SNC-Lavalin, and the evidence as to the content of those efforts have raised serious concerns for me," Philpott wrote in a written statement on Mar. 4. "Sadly, I have lost confidence in how the government has dealt with this matter and in how it has responded to the issues raised."
Philpott said that she must follow her "constitutional obligations."
"There can be a cost to acting on one's principles, but there is a bigger cost in abandoning them."
Philpott will keep her seat as an MP for Markham-Stouffville. She previously served as the health minister, then minister of Indigenous Services. Before quitting cabinet, she was the president of the Treasury Board.
Bagnell stopped short of saying more about Philpott's resignation, noting that wants to hear other officials testify before coming to any one conclusion.
Gerald Butts, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's former principal secretary, who also resigned recently, testified on Mar. 6.
CBC reported Butts as saying "I am firmly convinced that nothing happened here beyond the normal operations of government."
Wilson-Raybould's statements in front of the justice committee on Feb. 27 sent shockwaves through the federal government, the reverberations of which continue to play out.
Her actions have been praised by pundits across the country and lawyers, including the president of the Canadian Bar Association, who last week told the News Wilson-Raybould was courageous in upholding the law.
Ray Adlington also said that the attorney general and justice minister are portfolios that should not be held by the same official.
Bagnell agrees, adding that reviewing the matter should be of "high priority."
"It's a bit of bizarre situation where the person who writes the laws is also involved in prosecuting them," he said. "I thought that was a good suggestion by Jody in her testimony.
"I'd be happy to call for the justice committee to study that."
Bagnell, who was in the House the day Wilson-Raybould testified, said he was "very happy" that she was able to express her "views," adding that the nation's capital has been "consumed" by the issue since then.
"Until we hear from the other witnesses, it appears that the disagreement is on what's allowed in those conversations with the attorney general on which way of proceeding in a prosecution. …" he said.

Home | Career sectors | Arts and creative | Theatre set design careers
What does a set designer do, and how do you become one? Find out how to launch your career in theatre design.
If you're a creative person and enjoy art and drama, a career as a set designer might suit you. As with many theatre careers, it's not very secure, but you'll certainly make your mark on the productions you work on.
What is a set designer?
Set designers create the visual side of a play, musical or opera. As well as designing the set itself, they will often also set the overall tone and direction for the other visual elements such as lighting design, costume and props, and brief other team members such as lighting designers and costume designers to work within these guidelines. Alternative terms you might hear used include production design, theatre design, scenography and stage design.
Set designers work very closely with directors in the early stages of putting on a play or musical to discuss and agree ideas for the set. The director and designer will discuss the overall concept for the production – for example where and when it will be set, and if there are any particular themes they would like to draw out – after which the designer can start to produce some rough ideas.
Normally the set designer will produce a model of the set before rehearsals start so that the backstage team know what they need to create and the cast understand the space they will be acting in. The designer may or may not be involved in the actual process of producing the set, but will need to ensure that this proceeds as planned and be available to answer questions or rethink aspects of the design that don't work in practice. Likewise, they'll typically need to work closely with the lighting designer, costume designer and props buyers/makers to ensure that these elements stick to brief and work as they need to.
Set design courses at university
A typical route to becoming a set designer is to study theatre design at university. There are courses available at both undergraduate level (for students going to university for the first time) and postgraduate level (for students who already have an undergraduate degree). Typically you'll learn a range of design and construction skills, covering both set and costume and sometimes lighting.
Undergraduate theatre design courses don't usually specify what subjects you need at A level, for Scottish Highers or equivalent. However, you will usually need to submit a portfolio of your work, so in practice studying subjects such as art, drama or textiles will help, and you might also want to take a foundation diploma in art and design between school and university to help you build up additional, good quality examples of your work. See our guide to design degrees for more detail.
If you don't want to study set design at undergraduate level (for example, if you want to keep your career options open) you could choose a subject such as art, architecture, or something else that will develop your visual skills and allow you to produce lots of original work. To get onto a postgraduate course the most important thing is to have a strong portfolio of your work to showcase your skills; universities will probably also want your undergraduate degree to have some connection to art.
Your theatre design career after university
Most set designers work freelance – that is, they take work with different theatre companies on a play-by-play basis, rather than having a permanent job. It can be hard to establish yourself after university – you may need to do your first jobs for free or little money (for example designing a small set for a fringe festival production) and do something else to pay the bills. Or you might create your own theatre company with friends who want to be actors or directors (again, probably best to get a day-job too).
If you're able to progress to work on bigger shows then the money should improve, but you'll need to keep networking throughout your career to make sure you are known by the right people and are top of their wish list to hire. You'll also need to live with the fact that you won't have a secure income, which could be a problem if you want to buy a house.

Federal Reserve to Taper Money Printing That Fueled Bitcoin Bets
The $120 billion of monthly bond purchases has provided a tailwind for bitcoin as investors see the cryptocurrency as a hedge against dollar debasement in the face of ultra-loose monetary policies.
By Bradley Keoun
Nov 3, 2021 at 9:26 p.m. UTC
The U.S. Federal Reserve announced plans to taper its $120-billion-a-month in bond purchases, taking the first step toward winding down a post-coronavirus money-printing program that has inspired many investors to buy bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.
The Fed said Wednesday in a statement that it will reduce the pace of asset purchases by $15 billion a month starting this month. Purchases of U.S. Treasurys will drop to $70 billion a month from $80 billion, while purchases of government-backed mortgage securities will decline to $35 billion a month from $40 billion.
Under the plan, the Fed will continue to wind down its purchases by $15 billion every month until the program concludes during the middle of next year.
"The committee judges that similar reductions in the pace of net asset purchases will likely be appropriate each month, but it is prepared to adjust the pace of purchases if warranted by changes in the economic outlook," the Fed's monetary policy committee, known as the Federal Open Market Committee, or FOMC, said in the statement.
The asset purchases – a form of stimulus funded by newly created money, known as "quantitative easing," or QE – have helped to more than double the size of the Fed's balance sheet since March 2020, to about $8.6 trillion as of last week.
The U.S. central bank left interest rates unchanged at close to 0%, but a growing number of analysts in traditional markets are predicting the Fed might have to start hiking the benchmark rate to tamp down inflation at a time when U.S. consumer prices are rising at a clip not seen on a sustained basis in three decades.
So If the Fed stays the course and tilts hawkish on inflation, bitcoin might look incrementally less attractive as a hedge against dollar debasement, and the cryptocurrency's price could come under downward pressure similar to the predictions for the stock market.
Bitcoin's price briefly dropped after the statement but by press time was essentially unchanged around $62,300. The Fed's decision had been fully telegraphed by officials prior to the meeting, and thus may have been anticipated by the market.
"On one hand, tightened monetary policy may lead to less rapid growth of bitcoin demand, as many use it to hedge inflation, and less QE in theory means less inflation," said Joe DiPasquale, CEO of the cryptocurrency hedge fund BitBull Capital. "On the other hand, the effects of the largest QE in history may lead to the largest inflation in history, regardless of the Fed attempting to scale back. If this happens, we expect demand, and prices, for bitcoin to rise to new all-time highs."
DiPasquale said that BitBull has a price target of $80,000 for bitcoin by the end of 2021.
'Expected to be transitory'
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell had signaled during a meeting in September that there was "broad support" to begin tapering of the asset purchases, based on a plan to complete the effort "sometime around the middle of next year, which seems appropriate."
A growing group of high-profile investors including the legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones II and the venture capitalist Peter Thiel have joined many crypto traders in betting that bitcoin can be effective as a hedge against inflation. That's mainly due to the limits on new supplies of bitcoin, as hard-coded into the 12-year-old blockchain's underlying programming.
JPMorgan analysts wrote recently that more investors are seeing the cryptocurrency as an inflation hedge.
But bitcoin also has often been highly correlated with U.S. stocks, which can come under downward pressure when the Fed tightens monetary policy, because higher borrowing costs often translate to higher financing costs for companies, potentially becoming a drag on quarterly profits.
In Wednesday's statement, the FOMC said it noted that inflation was "elevated" but said the factors behind the consumer price increases were "expected to be transitory."

If you practise yoga in London you have probably come across Marcus Veda and his amazing Ashtanga-inspired Rocket Yoga classes. Marcus is one of my all time favourite teachers so I'm especially happy to have chatted to him a bit about yoga and music. Being a former DJ, Marcus made the transition to become a yoga teacher after training in Tokyo, London, NYC and Goa.
What are the learnings you have taken from being a DJ to the mat?
Being a good DJ and being a good yoga teacher are actually closely aligned in some ways, as both take the audience/students on a journey. It's supposed to be a flow. You need to be able to carry the vibe and the energy throughout the class; the breath should always be connected to the movement. A good DJ wouldn't let the music take an awkward or abrupt turn and in the same way a good (vinyasa) yoga teacher should make sure all movements and transitions flow together smoothly without ever breaking the breath.
Is your playlist important to you when you teach and if so, how do you pick your tracks?
Do you have a favourite music yoga memory?
Actually no. All my great music memories are from actual music venues. I don't think most yoga teachers are necessarily concerned with creating seamless playlists for classes, but then I don't suppose it's as important to them and there's no reason it should be- they aren't DJs! I often hear too many vocals or cliched trip hop beats with some faux eastern sample on top which is not the way I like to go. Being a DJ of course I have a lot of great memories from music in general and that same euphoric feeling that you can get from a gig or concert is what I'd like to bring into my classes. The best club experiences and the best yoga classes are the ones when you get lost in the moment, when you don't think about what you are doing. Meditation should be effortless like dancing at its most unselfconscious.
Do you have any advice for aspiring yoga teachers?
My advice is to stay in yoga and not get caught up in everything else around it, including all the politics. The teacher training is actually the easy part. What's hard is coming back to a place like London and establishing yourself as a teacher when there are so many people fighting for the same jobs and so many more with an opinion on what yoga "is." I'm resistant to the idea or attitude that 'my yoga is the right yoga'. Make sure your yoga is the right yoga for you and step back from judging what anyone else chooses as theirs. Svadhyaya.

What to Do If You've Experienced Police Misconduct in Connecticut
Home » Connecticut Civil Rights Lawyers at Ruane Attorneys » Police Misconduct » What to Do If You've Experienced Police Misconduct in Connecticut
Police misconduct is at the forefront of the minds of many United States citizens. We have all seen videos on social media or the news of police brutality, unlawful arrests, and other issues. Unfortunately, it seems like these news stories are popping up more and more lately. If you believe that you are a victim of police misconduct, this section can help you.
One of the most common ways that we see civil rights violations is through police misconduct. In this section, we will discuss some of the contributing factors to this issue, how to identify police misconduct, and what to do if you are a victim of it. Here, we discuss common issues such as:
Police brutality and excessive force.
Police shootings.
False arrest.
Unlawful searches.
Wrongful convictions.
Police brutality and excessive force are the things that most people think of when they hear about police misconduct. If you had an altercation with the police, there are certain actions that they may have taken that are inappropriate. If you think that this is the case, please contact us for assistance.
Police shootings also fall under the category of excessive force. There are very few reasons why police officers should resort to the use of firearms, and if you cooperate with the police they should not use this type of force. If you find yourself in such a situation, whether you were injured or not, you need to protect your rights by contacting a lawyer.
Another issue that oftentimes occurs with police officers is false arrest. Many times, police officers do not have enough evidence or cause to make an arrest. But, the average citizen doesn't know this. You might not know the ins and outs of the law, so you can't fight the police officers. Because you are unsure of the law and the processes, you choose to comply, even though there are not sufficient grounds for arrest. If this happened to you, it is not too late to fight your case. Certain evidence may be thrown out of court, or the charge might be dropped altogether. You can contact us to learn more about these options and if they are viable for your case.
Unlawful Searches
Just like false arrests, there can be unlawful searches. There are clear and specific rules of when your property can and cannot be searched, and the police are obligated to follow these rules. The problem arises because the average person doesn't know the details of these laws. So, the police can take advantage of you and get you to agree to a search or conduct an unlawful search. You should review the circumstances of your search with an attorney to determine if you were the victim of an unlawful search.

Oil exec tapped to run alternative fuel company
Bruno Vanzieleghem
May 10th 2006 at 10:14AM
Grist Magazine reports a former oil executive was picked as CEO for Archer Daniels Midland. ADM, a company with quite the turbulent history, is a food processing firm which has made billions over the years producing things like high-fructose corn syrup. The choice of Patricia Woertz, former executive Vice President of Chevron, points towards a continued move towards automotive fuel production for ADM. While the company is showing healthy profits, an interesting piece of information pertains to the profits in the ethanol unit. While demand for ethanol has surged, and ADM is said to clear $1 in profit per gallon, operating profit in the unit has recorded only a modest gain. The cost of corn was lower, the price of ethanol was higher. However, the increased energy cost cut into a possible increase in profit. It seems it does take quite a bit of fuel to produce ethanol. The company did post a significant profit in the oilseeds crushing unit, part of the firm's biodiesel operations. The article further describes some of the operating methods of multinational agribusiness giants, and is an interesting but slightly scary read.

It's quite cheap and can see it would have its uses. The extensions look good. 3.14 KG seems heavy though unless thats the kit.
The polisher is 2.1 kg's.
The same polisher is available on Aliexpress for £69. I was looking at it last night by coincidence. Same accessories etc.
That's a good price compared to the shinemate equivalent.
My only question would be what's the after sales like? I.e. if you have any issues what would the seller be like for after care. Sometimes paying that little bit extra is worth it for the after care and advice you may need later on.

First generation student Haley Lawrence excels in the classroom and on the course
Home /Cross Country, Fall Sports, Profiles, Sports/First generation student Haley Lawrence excels in the classroom and on the course
Avery Norman
Cross Country,Fall Sports,Profiles,Sports |
The cafe was bustling with life on a cool fall day when she walked in. While her stature may seem small and repressed, her presence is one that demands to be felt. She is Haley Lawrence, a third-year marketing student who is making great strides on the cross country team this year.
When thinking about running, most people have a lackadaisical attitude, but not Lawrence.
"At first I just kinda did it to do something, I knew I wasn't that good at other sports. I tried basketball in fifth grade and that wasn't very good," she says.
Making the switch to running, Lawrence finally found her pack. In high school she was the only one in her grade to do all three running sports offered all four years — outdoor track, indoor track and cross country. Eventually she would go on to win Eastern Maine and place fourth overall at state her senior year. Lawrence attributes those wins in part to her best friend growing up— her mom.
"She always taught me to stick with what I love. She doesn't know much about running, I try and tell her… but yeah she really gets how much I love it," Lawrence said as tears well in her eyes.
Her and her mother have always had a tight bond. One of three children, Lawrence's mother gave birth to her when she was only 19 years old.
"My mom was always my best friend. Because she's younger, it makes it easier to relate to her. She's just like me, she's kinda shy but outgoing at the same time," Lawrence said.
But don't let her fool you. Lawrence is incredibly outgoing, going as far as to earn herself the nickname "Sunshine" from her teammates, who say she brightens up the room.
Now an upperclassman, Lawrence is beginning her transition into taking on more of a leadership role.
"As an upperclassman it's important for me to teach the younger girls like everything they need to know," Lawrence said.
Along with team leader, Lawrence fills the role of team cheerleader as well.
"I'm really into getting people pumped up for meets because it's important for us to go out there and try our best even if we know we're not the best team in our conference, we still have a lot of talent and it's important to show that."
On meet days, the girls have a bit of a tradition.
"We play music in the locker room and sometimes get little bows in our hair just to feel more unified."
Cross country has had a profound impact on Lawrence.
"One of the main reasons I wanted to go to college was to be a college athlete."
Realizing that dream, Lawrence does two collegiate sports. She is also the first of her immediate family to go to college — something she doesn't take lightly. Carrying the torch for her family, she uses that fact as inspiration to do well in school.
"It really gives me more motivation to complete college," Lawrence says.
As a junior, Lawrence is majoring in marketing with a dream job of working for Nike's marketing department.
On handling the pressures of being a student athlete, Lawrence recognizes the help running has had.
"For me it's like brushing my teeth every morning. Without it I don't know what else I'd do because it's just such a day to day thing for me".
It doesn't hurt that she has been running since the sixth grade, making the pressure just a bit less.
"If I wasn't on a team I don't know what I would do. More specially racing every weekend is very important to me because I do it every weekend."
Lawrence runs typically 50 miles per week, but shortens her mileage during the track season. With such a noteworthy running career Lawrence had many memories to talk about, but her favorite was something that happened in sixth grade.
"I used to lose my shoe a lot. I remember one race in middle school where I lost my shoe and I ended up second to last. I grabbed the shoe and put it back on and ended up beating 50 people," she said, laughing.
On Sept. 15, Lawrence placed first overall in a meet against the University of New Hampshire with a time of 19:09.
Just five days later on Sept. 20, she was announced to be the America East Performer of the Week. Lawrence and the rest of the Black Bear cross country team will race Saturday, Oct. 7 at the New England Championships.

Mallory released on parole, despite opposition of district attorney's office
By Ed Pugh
Published 1:28 pm Tuesday, June 30, 2020
Click here for the Special conditions of Mallory's parole.
Peter Mallory, who was sentenced to 1,000 years in prison in February 2013 for multiple counts of possession of child pornography has been released on parole, despite the opposition of District Attorney Herb Cranford.
According to a press release from Cranford's office, Mallory's crimes did not allow for the state to see or the trial court to impose a sentence without parole eligibility. Parole is a power exercised exclusively by the State Board of Pardons and Paroles.
Mallory was released on May 27, 2020. Cranford had written to the parole board on Dec. 11, 2019, asking that Mallory not be allowed parole.
"I respectfully write you to ask that you reconsider Peter Avery Mallory's tentative parole date of Dec. 31, 2019. I sincerely believe Mallory is a threat to the public, has not sufficiently paid his debt to society, and I am opposed to his parole now or any time in the near future," Cranford wrote. "I also think the Troup County community will be offended by his release after having served only seven years of his total sentence."
Cranford said Mallory is sexually deviant and commits his crimes by compulsion as much as by choice.
"In the current digital age, no amount of supervision can stop a compulsive sexual deviant like Mallory from seeking out the most heinous images and videos of small children being sexually abused," Cranford wrote. "The facts of this case further show that Mallory is a danger to create such images himself if he cannot obtain them otherwise."
In response to Cranford's letter, the parole board replied by saying it had reconsidered the case and established a new parole date of December 2022.
On April 9, the parole board wrote the district attorney another letter stating that it had "decided to proceed with parole in the near future," leading to his May release.
Steve Mayes, Director or the Office of Communications with the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles said the board decisions are made by the five members electronically and the board does not have hearings.
"All decisions by the board are tentative and subject to change at any time. The board may change an earlier decision after reviewing the case file again or as a result of additional information received," Mayes said in an email this afternoon.
According to Cranford, for the remainder of his 1,000 year sentence, Mallory will be required to register as a sex offender and will remain on parole where he will be subject to having his parole revoked by the parole board if he violates the law or the conditions of his release. Mallory is also banished from Troup County and is on electronic monitoring.
According to Cranford, for the remainder of his 1,000 year sentence, Mallory will be required to register as a sex offender and will remain on parole where he will be subject to having his parole revoked by the parole board if he violates the law or the conditions of his release.
After a three week trial in 2012, Mallory was found guilty of 60 counts of sexual exploitation of children, three counts of invasion of privacy, and one count of tampering with evidence.
According to previous information reported by the LDN, the charges filed against Mallory were the result of a LaGrange Police Department investigation, which detectives initiated in February of 2011 after receiving an alert of more than 600 suspected child pornography files linked to a computer in LaGrange. The investigation led to the local television station that Mallory operated, where investigators seized several hard drives containing more than 26,000 files of child pornography.
The evidence demonstrated that Mallory knowingly and intentionally sought out, gathered, downloaded, and saved these images and videos of children being raped, tortured, and sexually exploited, according to a previous press release from Cranford's office. LPD investigators arrested Mallory on April 27, 2011. Regarding the invasion of privacy counts, the evidence at trial showed that Mallory installed and operated a hidden camera at his desk and recorded young female victims as they sat in his office.
On May 7, 2020, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed Mallory's conviction and 1,000 year sentence.

Opponents of controversial wind farm say scheme will have to be delayed due to access road ruling
Credit: By Chris Peregrine | South Wales Evening Post | January 22, 2017 | www.southwales-eveningpost.co.uk ~~
Opponents of a planned wind farm on moorland to the north of Swansea are confident the scheme will have to be delayed after a Welsh Government Minister ruling.
Earlier this month RWE Innogy UK said construction of 16 turbines at Mynydd y Gwair in Felindre would start next month.
But behind the scenes a row has been simmering over an access road.
Campaigners, some of whom have been fighting the development for 25 years, were adamant that there was no consent in place for an access road off the A48 at Bolgoed Road, Pontarddulais.
And in a letter to Brigitte Rowlands, secretary of West Glamorgan Commoners' Association, Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Rural Affairs Lesley Griffiths confirmed that the disputed piece of land was not covered by the application she granted.
She said that it covered de-registering certain land as common land and registering other land as replacement common land in relation to the wind farm.
And in reference to the issue raised by Mrs Rowlands, the Minister said: "The common land boundary you have identified between the two areas of release land was not part of my consideration as it did not form part of the application for the release and exchange of common land."
Ioan Richard, Mawr ward member on Swansea Council, said Innogy had dropped a clanger.
"The developer cannot proceed with work on this section until one of three options are formalised," he said.
They included going through the land exchange procedure or making a fresh application, all of which would, he said, delay the scheme.
Pontarddulais Town Council member John Miles said: "They will have to submit a planning application not to the planning authority, but to the Assembly Government. Whatever option they take, there will be a delay. We want to see the scheme adhered to, fair and square."
Mr Miles said that another bat survey may have to be carried out to establish whether there was any impact on bats in the area.
The row over the access road reared its head last July after the developer was given Welsh Government approval for the project.
Opponents then claimed that any celebrations were premature because of the road issue.
The firm had already been given the necessary planning consent for the controversial proposal at Mynydd y Gwair in Felindre by the council, but needed the go-ahead to exchange common land to make it viable.
Then the Welsh Government approved RWE Innogy's common land applications to facilitate the construction and operation of the 33.6MW wind farm.
The final decision, announced by Ms Griffiths, followed the recommendation of an independent planning inspector who led a public inquiry into RWE Innogy's application earlier last year
Innogy has so far failed to issue its reaction to the letter, but insisted earlier this month that "all consents required are in place".

Newspaper media continues to achieve strong mobile phone and tablet audience growth, while print remains the most popular means of accessing newspaper content, according to the latest emma (Enhanced Media Metrics Australia) data for the 12 months to June 2015* released today.
Mobile phone and tablet readership is particularly strong, respectively growing 16 per cent and 3 per cent (up 431,000 and 76,000) year-on-year (YOY) to now reach 3.1 million and 2.7 million Australians over a four-week period. Desktop/laptop PC readership also continues to rise, up 2 per cent or 191,000 readers YOY.
Across print and digital platforms newspaper media reaches 16.4 million Australians over a four-week period, up 1 per cent from 16.3 million a year ago. Digital readership grew 3 per cent (YOY) to 11.6 million while print readership eased 4 per cent to 13.8 million readers.
Newspaper media reaches 92 per cent of Australia's metropolitan population, and nine in 10 adults aged 14 and over.
The PC is still the most popular digital platform among all major age groups, reaching 53 per cent of under-25s, 57 per cent of 25-39s, 65 per cent of 40-54s, and 54 per cent of people 55+.
Mobile reading is skewed towards younger readers, reaching 20 per cent of under-25s and 34 per cent of 25-39s over a four-week period, compared with 16 per cent of 40-54s and 3 per cent of people 55+.

The story on Renner begins: "This time last year Jeremy Renner was hurting — hurting badly. It had been almost two decades since he'd moved from the California cowtown of Modesto to Los Angeles, and while the actor had managed to snag a handful of interesting but minor roles — in 28 Weeks Later, for example — he'd failed to make it any farther."
Renner describes his first acting job, in which he got paid $50 to take part in training exercises at the Modesto police academy. Asked to "act unruly," Renner gave a cadet a dose or realism.
"I threw him to the ground, spit on him, and kicked him in the balls," Renner is quoted as saying. "I think that might have been his first day. I often wonder if he's still a cop; if he even made it through the academy."
Renner is one of five nominees for best actor at the Academy Awards, which will be presented Sunday evening in Los Angeles. The consensus among critics and Oscar prognosticators seems to be that "The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar" are the top candidates for best picture.
In other interviews, Renner has spoken fondly of his family, friends and teachers in Modesto. He visits frequently. His family is throwing an Oscar party Sunday evening at The State Theatre downtown, and Renner will walk the red carpet outside the Kodak Theatre with his mother Sunday evening.
