Filed under: Software — Leave a comment
Project Mozilla, which celebrates its fifteenth anniversary these days, formally introduced release web-browser Firefox 20, and a mobile version of Firefox 20 for Android.
In the next few days in beta testing, will branch Firefox 21, and will be separated aurora-branch Firefox 22.
According to the six-week development cycle, Firefox 21 release is scheduled for May 14, and Firefox 22 on June 25.
In the coming hours expected release Seamonkey 2.17, as well as updating the branches with long term support for Firefox 17.0.5 and Thunderbird 17.0.5.
Of the improvements presented in Firefox 20, include:
– New implementation of the private mode, which provides the ability to open separate windows in private mode, working simultaneously with conventional neprivatnymi windows (previously supported only the initiation of general private session). The new feature allows you to open a separate window, all tabs that will work without sedimentation data in your history and local caches. In the context menu, in addition to opening links in a new window, added support for opening links in a private box. Unlike previously available to Private Browsing Mode, the new regime does not affect the work already open tabs and does not require an active closing session, allowing the combined opening sites in normal and private mode;
– Redesigned user interface to manage the downloads. The progress of the download can be easily controlled through a special area in the toolbar without having to review statistics in a separate window;
– The possibility of closing unresponsive plugins without freezing the entire browser. If the plug does not respond within 45 seconds, the user will notice only to restart a hung plugin without restarting the whole browser;
– Support getUserMedia API for accessing web-camera and microphone on the local computer (the user will be a special warning to the question, whether he agrees to provide access to equipment). In conjunction with API, CSS-like filters and webGL, a new feature allows you to create flexible means for treatment, the camera content. GetUserMedia API support is an important step towards widespread adoption of the future standard WebRTC, aimed at the implementation for Web-tools for organizing audio and video communications in real time;
– Continued work to improve the performance of different parts of the browser, including changes increase the speed of page loading speeds up exit and accelerate background downloading files;
– Means to reset the search engine used when keywords are typed in the address bar Awesomebar. This possibility will cancel the changes you have made to third-party software or modify about: config;
– On by default, support for CSS3-property Flexbox, designed to simplify the block layout of elements on the page. Using Flexbox developer can easily adapt their pages for optimal display on the screens of different sizes and with different resolutions. In particular, for the small screens of smartphones or tablets can arrange automatic resizing of content and regroup, move up the most important elements and reduce the number of columns;
– New tool for profiling JavaScript-code;
– Presented Developer Toolbox, a unified interface for easy access to tools for developers in a single window, such as the web-console, debugger, editor of the inspection system and styles;
– In canvas adds support for blending modes (Canvas Blend Modes). In imposing the displayed image to other images can now provide not only the replacement of overlapping areas, but also the imposition of color mixing;
– Continued implementation of the new elements presented in the draft standard, ECMAScript 6: added call clear () and Math.imul;
– Empowering tag audio and video: Support playbackRate attribute to control the playback speed flow, for example, you can view a video presentation at an accelerated rate, suspending play only on points of interest. Support for combining multiple logical Ogg-flow (Ogg chaining).
Improvements in Firefox 20 for platform Android:
Reduced system requirements, Firefox can now work on devices with ARMv6-processor with a frequency of 600MHz, 384 MB RAM and a screen QVGA (320×240).
Added support for additional devices based on processors ARMv6: Samsung Galaxy Next (GT-S5570, GT-S5578), HTC Aria (S31HT), HTC Legend (A6363), Samsung Dart (SGH-T499), Samsung Galaxy Pop (SCH-i559) , Samsung Galaxy Q (SGH-T589).
Added support for hardware decoding H.264/AAC/MP3 using Android 3.x and 4.x.
Possible to configure the contents of the "Top Sites" on the home page (about: home).
Separately, it should be noted that in addition to new features and bug fixes in Firefox 20 series fixed vulnerabilities, some of which are labeled 'critical', ie could lead to code execution when a specially designed pages. At present the information with details about the security problem is not available, it is expected that the list of vulnerabilities will be published in a few hours.

Report: Several MLS clubs line up deal for Cristiano Ronaldo
By Joe Prince-WrightSep 17, 2015, 7:47 AM EDT
A report from the French media has claimed that a host of clubs in Europe, and Major League Soccer, are lining up lucrative bids to lure Cristiano Ronaldo away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Real Madrid superstar, 30, is said to be unhappy with life at Real under new manager Rafael Benitez and Le10Sport claims that there will be a race to sign Ronaldo at the end of the season with Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain and multiple MLS clubs involved.
Look, it's not look we haven't heard these rumors of a Ronaldo exit before. Because we have, multiple times in the past 12 months.
[ MORE: Full schedule for every PL club ]
Yet there seems to be something slightly different about these latest rumors. Ronaldo continues to break records left, right and center and is making huge wads of cash at Real as he continues his personal duel with Lionel Messi in La Liga and on the European stage. However, these stories about his unrest and not getting on with Benitez continue to surface.
Consider this. How likely are Real to sell their prized asset to another team battling with them — in this case, Manchester United and PSG — for European supremacy? Not likely. But, what about shipping Ronaldo off to MLS at the end of the current season? That would seem like the more attractive offer if Real was to cash in on Ronaldo, despite the Portuguese forward having two more years left on his current deal in the Spanish capital.
[ MORE: Ronaldo scores 33rd hat trick for Real Madrid ]
Now, before any fans of MLS start adding "Ronaldo, 7" to the back of their jerseys (hold your horses, LA Galaxy, New York City FC and potential Miami franchise fans) let's consider this Ronaldo to MLS chatter. Number one: can the league or any club afford to buy out his current release clause of $1.5 billion? Nope. Of course, a deal would be cut, but Real would probably want a record transfer fee to sell Ronaldo, so that's in-excess of $132 million, just to get the player, not including his wages. Number two: Ronaldo is 30. For many, he is in his prime and to leave a club like Real for MLS at this stage of his career, despite winning everything there is to win in European soccer both with his club team and personally, just doesn't seem likely. Number three: the lure of United. There's something there, isn't there? Ronaldo is adored by United's fans, even after leaving, and vice versa. Personally, I can see him ending up at Old Trafford for a few years, then heading to MLS at the age of 34, 35, as the likes of Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard have done. Heck, with his supreme physical abilities, what's to stop Ronaldo from playing at the top level in Europe for another seven to eight years a la Didier Drogba, then head to MLS?
In short, don't expect to see Ronaldo in MLS anytime soon. But go about your business safe in the knowledge that its almost a certainty that one day, one of the greatest players that has ever lived will be lacing up his cleats in North America's top flight. I can't 100 percent guarantee you that, but with his image, the growing brand of MLS and the money that would be on offer for one final payday after his powers have faded in Europe, how could Ronaldo say no to ending his career in California, NYC or Florida?

Learning by Giving Attallah Pilot Project Bridges Graduate Research, Undergraduate Career Training, and Charitable Giving
Alisa Driscoll '19, winner of the MLD 2019 Outstanding Student Award for her Chapman PEPP capstone project, and Dr. Whitney McIntyre Miller
Alisa Driscoll (MLD '19) tends to think about the big picture. The current Communications and Operations Manager in Chapman University's Office of Community Relations graduated this May with a Master of Arts in Leadership Development (MLD) from the Attallah College of Educational Studies. Having spent her career working in community service organizations, she understands the importance of fostering the next generation of philanthropists. So for her MLD capstone project, Driscoll wanted to create something sustainable, something that would impact her community today and for generations to come.
The culmination of Driscoll's year-long work is the Chapman Panther Experiential Philanthropy Project (PEPP), a pilot program rolled out on the Chapman campus this spring. According to Driscoll, PEPP's two-fold goal is to engage college students in the local community, opening up their eyes to social issues and social causes in Orange County and the city of Orange. While promoting volunteerism among Chapman students, PEPP also gives them practical grant writing experience and exposure to the work going on in the nonprofit sector.
The PEPP program is a "learning by giving" approach. The philosophy behind experiential philanthropy is to give college students the opportunity to study social problems and nonprofit organizations and then make decisions about investing funds in them. The students are entrusted with a fixed sum of money, which they award to one or more nonprofit organizations through a group-based decision-making process. The key is to teach the students to actively seek philanthropic solutions rather than just thrown money at problems.
What's this look like at Chapman?
In partnership with her MLD faculty advisor Whitney McIntyre Miller, Ph.D., Driscoll developed the Chapman PEPP program from the ground up by researching models implemented at other US institutions. Using initial seed funding of $2,000 from the Office of Community Relations, Driscoll designed the program, wrote a PEPP grant application, and created the curriculum to pilot the PEPP program in the IES (Integrated Educational Studies) 103: Philosophy of Helping spring undergraduate course.
For their assignment, the IES 103 students were required to research community problems and local nonprofit organizations, schedule site visits, and submit grant applications for their respective organizations. As a group, the class then evaluated the grant proposals and selected a nonprofit in which to invest the funds.
Driscoll says IES 103 was a perfect fit for her pilot, as the course instructor Dawn Hunter, Ph.D., was willing to substitute the PEPP program for one of the courses' three fieldwork assignments.
By integrating grant writing into an academic course, the PEPP program gives a large group of students practical experience. And because the course makes the students responsible for funding a real nonprofit with real money, there are real consequences.
"The class was really excited to find out that they were not just going to do site visits," said Driscoll. "There was money at stake, and they were actually going to get to write a grant proposal."
The IES 103 class as whole was tasked with determining the best use of the PEPP funds. Following presentations from each student group on their respective organizations, together the class weighed the benefits and impact of funding each proposal in a boardroom-style debate, looking at short- and long-term factors.
After several rounds of voting, the IES 103 students chose to fund a computer learning lab at the Friendly Center, a nonprofit headquartered just a few blocks from the Chapman campus that offers programs and services to low-income families, such as after-school tutoring, a food bank, and job development. The center's mission is to end the cycle of generational poverty in Orange County.
The $2,000 grant will help upgrade the Orange tutoring site's computer lab and provide 10 years of maintenance costs. The Friendly Center had previously secured a donation for all but $2,000 of the computer lab upgrade. Thus, the PEPP $2,000 allows the Friendly Center to complete the computer lab upgrade in time for the 2019–2020 academic school year.
Cathy Seelig, Executive Director of the Friendly Center, said the process was a wonderful experience.
"The Team Friendly Center students were really dynamic and articulate," she said. "It is very exciting that we now have the final dollars to make a program come true, as this particular project is long lasting."

The fact that the computer lab would impact students and their families right away and over the next decade was a deciding factor for the IES 103 students. In addition to student tutoring and homework, during the day the computers are used for adult ESL (English as a second language) classes and job development training. The IES 103 students liked that the upgraded lab will effectively reach all the arms of the Friendly Center programs, as it will benefit students and families now and in the future.
Spencer Belt, one of the four IES 103 students who wrote the Friendly Center grant, found the entire PEPP process really satisfying.
"This is a 10-year commitment to education for low-income students and their families," he said. "I want to be an elementary school teacher, so knowing I can make significant change to this place and these people's lives, that was really important to me."
From the beginning, Driscoll's goal was to build PEPP into a larger institutional program at Chapman. Ultimately, Driscoll hopes PEPP can be integrated into courses in all of the academic schools and college on campus.
"The project was a good way to get us out into and serve the community," said Devin Bollinger '19, another member of the IES 103 Team Friendly Center. "It gave an incentive to look into what this group is doing for the community and see ways people can get involved."
Driscoll sees the PEPP program as a vehicle to nurture a sense of civic responsibility and encourage Chapman students to become involved with nonprofit organizations in the future, as philanthropists, volunteers, and staff.
"With the quality of Chapman programs, our graduates have the potential to be huge philanthropists in the world," said Driscoll. "It's important that we help foster that interest and give them the tools they can use to facilitate that process."

Girl, I am right there with you. I, too, have two kids who have birthdays right around Christmas, which makes for a crazy and present-filled couple of months. Here are my recommendations for how to prepare for the influx of toys while still keeping your space organized, several of which I've implemented in my own home.
Have your children select toys they no longer play with, and make it a point to donate them before the holidays. This is a twofer, you guys! Step #1 allows you to not only clean out your play areas to make space for new items, but it also teaches children about being compassionate and caring toward other people, especially those who are less fortunate. I realize this sounds like a no-brainer — "Well, of course we should donate some of our stuff we're not using!" — but often times the to-dos and other commitments pile up and then activities like this get demoted on our list. So make this a priority before Santa visits your house this year.
Walk around your play areas with a trash bag when no one is looking, and toss any of the low-value items that your kids don't use regularly. At first glance this may sound harsh, but I do this periodically and I have to admit: It brings me so much joy. (Is that weird? Don't answer that.)This is your opportunity to toss all those low-value items that are taking up valuable real estate in your playroom, yet don't meet an unspoken quality threshold to be donated. I'm talking about cheap-o tchotchkes from birthday parties like plastic yo-yos and bouncing balls, board games and puzzles that are missing pieces, the box of Crayolas in which half of the markers are dried out, and so on. I know that I don't do this often enough, but when I do I am so pleased that I've taken the time to streamline the junk and make room for the quality items that my kids love and use regularly. I can also assure you that my kids have never noticed when a plastic harmonica purchased at Five Below has mysteriously gone missing.
By the way, if you want a FREE printable checklist with 39 things in the playroom that you can toss RIGHT NOW, then go snag it via this post!
Use several of these to provide a home for coloring books, card games, books, boxes of crayons and markers, and more.
I love the versatility of this. A great catch-all for everything from art supplies to action figures.
These baskets are large enough that they can hold a variety of items, and the espresso wood and natural cloth bins can coordinate with just about any decor.
Stash anything and everything in this metal wall bin. Bonus: Kids will be able to see toys peeking out over the top of each bin, so they'll know exactly what they can find in each one.
Designed for a nursery, there's no reason why this preppy over-the-door canvas storage option can't do duty (See what I did there? My husband is so proud right now.) in a play space. Personalization is optional, and this comes in three different colors.
Now it's your turn! What are your favorite toy organization solutions? Tell me in the comments.
P.S. If you want a handy checklist to guide your decluttering, check out this post — it even includes a FREE printable version of said checklist with 39 things to purge right now. Enjoy!
All great tips!! Love the storage options!! Definitely need to purge before Christmas over here!!
Thank you, Bethany! I just purchased the keypad storage hanger from The Land of Nod for our play area in the basement. I also purged some toys about a month ago but now need to go back for round two!

Mercedes invests $1 billion in electric SUV production in U.S.
By Christoph Rauwald and Elisabeth Behrmann
FILE - In this file photo dated Monday, Sept. 11, 2017, a loading station for Mercedes electric cars at the IAA Car Show in Frankfurt, Germany. Germany's Daimler AG announced Thursday Sept. 21, 2017, says its Mercedes-Benz luxury car division will invest US dlrs 1 billion to set up electric vehicle production at its Tuscaloosa, Alabama plant, also building a new battery plant, adding 600 new jobs in the region. ( Michael Probst/AP )
Daimler AG plans to spend $1 billion to start production of Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles at its Alabama factory, setting the world's largest luxury-car maker up to battle with battery-car specialist Tesla on its home turf.
The German automaker will build its fifth battery plant globally and create more than 600 jobs in the region, the company said September 21 in a statement. The Alabama factory will assemble electric sport utility vehicles, taking on Tesla's Model X and making Stuttgart-based Daimler the first European company to assemble plug-in autos in the U.S.
"We're celebrating our 20th anniversary at our production facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and we're taking this as an opportunity to expand the operation and further fuel growth," production chief Markus Schaefer said in a Bloomberg TV interview. "We're very confident for future growth in the U.S. in the long-term. "
While the investment could ease tensions over President Donald Trump's claims that too many German cars were being sold to Americans, the real target is certainly the intensifying rivalry with Tesla. The Palo Alto, California-based carmaker's flagship Model S sedan outsold the Mercedes S-Class and BMW 7-Series last year in the U.S., putting pressure on the brands to defend their image as automotive innovators.
U.S. plug-in vehicle sales are projected to grow fourfold from last year to 643,000 in 2021, about 4 percent of the U.S. auto market, according to estimates by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The segment is expected to account more than one-third of sales in 2030.
The shift is proving costly. Daimler laid out a plan last week to slash $4.8 billion from spending by 2025 to compensate for weaker margins from electric cars as global automakers accelerate efforts to roll out cleaner vehicles amid tightening emissions rules across the globe.
In addition to the new EQ line of battery-powered cars, the manufacturer will add electrified versions across its model range. Daimler's Smart city-car brand will gradually stop offering models with combustion engines as of 2020.
Mercedes, which topped BMW as the top luxury auto brand in the U.S. last year, started assembling vehicles in Alabama 20 years ago. The factory has since emerged as one of the brand's main manufacturing hubs worldwide, with some 70 percent of assembled vehicles slated for export to global markets. About 3,700 employees produce the GLE, GLE Coupe and GLS SUVs at the site, which added the the C-Class sedan for the North American market in 2014.

Q: How do I redirect a page with Anonymizer link to the contained URL Due to multiple scripts I have on the target domain I want to redirect the anonymized link directly to the page with a GreaseMonkey script:
Currently it does not work but my Javascript experience is outdated, so I need a little help.
Example with LinkBlur but other link anonymers should be same stuff:
http://linkblur.com/?http://www.yahoo.com
This is the script I tried to make but did not work:
var loc = window.location.href;
var reg = /[?](.*)/gi;
var correcturl = loc.match(reg).substring(1);
window.location = correcturl;

Thanks for the attention and please point out if there are any errors.

A: LinkBlur, and most of these sites, use frames or iFrames; your script must account for that.
Also it will crash frequently because the return from match() is not being checked properly.
This works:
if (window.top != window.self)  //-- Don't run on frames or iframes.
    return;

var loc         = window.location.href;
var correcturl  = loc.match (/\?(.+)/i);

if (correcturl  &&  correcturl[1]) {
    window.location = correcturl [1];
}

Home> Resources> Mortgagee Protection Clause - amended GLA version
Mortgagee Protection Clause - amended GLA version
The Greater London Authority has issued a new version of the model mortgagee protection clause, which has been revised following discussions with housing associations and sector specialists.
The Property Finance Working Group produced a standard mortgagee protection clause in 2016. The clause was designed to achieve Market Value – Subject to Tenancy (MVT) funding value against borrowings (subject to usual property due diligence).
In 2018, it came to the attention of the Group that the Greater London Authority (GLA) had a bespoke 'template clause' which was being used by some London local authorities. The Group recognised that if this clause was incorporated into a Section 106 agreement or other legal document, it would be ineffective for housing associations in securing an MVT funding valuation.
With the support of the G15 group of housing associations, the Group discussed this with the GLA due to the detrimental impact on values it would have, as only an Existing Use Value – Social Housing (EUV-SH) funding value could be supported where it was used.
The Group has now negotiated a revised GLA template mortgagee protection clause, which will facilitate an MVT funding value and enable housing associations to build more new homes through making best use of their assets.
The GLA has issued a practice note, which sets out the circumstances under which it will use this clause. The GLA will:
Use its revised template clause within Section 106 agreements for development proposals where the Mayor of London becomes the Local Planning Authority following 'call-in' of the application.
Promote the revised clause's use for other schemes that are referable to the Mayor under the Mayor of London Order 2008, and non-referable applications, subject to the criteria referred to in the practice note.
Apply its revised template clause where a housing association seeks a variation to an existing agreement that the Mayor is party to.
What does this mean for the standard clause?
The standard clause is still the recommended clause to use, and remains widely used in the sector, supporting the need for consistency.
The Federation and the Property Finance Working Group recommend its use as a minimum standard to be adopted in any Section 106 agreement or other legal document. It has already been accepted by key stakeholders in the sector and should not be changed.
The use of the GLA's revised template clause is limited to GLA development sites, but in the knowledge that it still supports an increase in the level of finance that can be secured against Section 106 properties. This in turn expands the amount of affordable homes delivered in London.
Notes: The Property Finance Working Group comprises sector experienced lawyers and valuers: Addleshaw Goddard, Allen & Overy, Clarke Willmott, Clifford Chance, Devonshires, JLL, Savills, Trowers & Hamlins, Winckworth Sherwood & Wright Hassall, and is chaired by the Treasury Solicitor at L&Q. It was formerly referred to as the Securitisation Working Group.

Forged by Fire
Draper, Sharon
Primary Category: Literature / Fiction
Genre: Novel for Young Adults
McEntyre, Marilyn
Marital Discord
Mother-Son Relationship
Power Relations
Date of entry: Jan-24-2003
When Gerald is three, his mother, a drug addict, leaves him alone one time too often and he accidentally sets the apartment on fire. His mother is imprisoned for negligence, he goes to the hospital, and thereafter lives with "Aunt Queen," a great-aunt who exercises considerable authority from her wheelchair, and gives him all the love his mother hasn't.
When he is 9, however, his mother returns with a new sister and a man who claims to be the sister's father. They want to take him "home"; Gerald wants to stay with Aunt Queen. The matter is settled unhappily when Aunt Queen dies of a heart attack.
Gerald soon learns to despise his stepfather for his violence and, eventually, for the abuse of his half sister, which she hides out of fear until she's driven to confess it to Gerald in hope of his protection. Their mother remains in denial about that problem as well as her own and her husband's addictions to alcohol and drugs.
Caring for his sister, however, keeps love in Gerald's life. In defending her one last time, the apartment catches fire and his stepfather is killed. As he, his sister, and his mother ride away in the ambulance, a flicker of hope survives in the darkness for another new chapter in family life, this time without violence.
The events of this book are harsh, but true to the circumstances in which many inner-city children grow up. Gerald's character is rendered with sensitivity and acuity; he survives and even thrives in hard circumstances, but never seems overly heroic. The figures of the sister and grandmother also ring true.
The confused and directionless mother and violent stepfather are less developed characters, but their plight is drawn in such a way as to forestall easy judgment and instead to invite recognition that they're all trapped in a system that perpetuates poverty and desperation. Still, the stepfather's behavior is in no way excused, and his death does seem a release into new possibility.
A very useful book both for kids in similar circumstances and for those who might find such circumstances hard to imagine. Comes with discussion questions in the back.
Forged by Fire won the Coretta Scott King Award. It is the second book of a trilogy, the first of which is Tears of a Tiger; the last of the trilogy is Darkness Before Dawn (Simon & Schuster, 2001).

Luckily for me, she was happy to oblige!
This was SUCH a fun experience and so different from the norm that, weather allowing, I definitely want to get at least a couple of pictures of each newborn outdoors from now on.

Ukrainian protesters topple Lenin statue in Kiev
Updated on: December 8, 2013 / 6:16 PM / AP
KIEV, Ukraine -Anti-government protesters have toppled the statue of Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin in central Kiev amid huge protests gripping Ukraine.
A group of protesters dragged down and decapitated the landmark statue Sunday evening after hundreds of thousands of others took to the streets to denounce the government's move away from Europe and toward Moscow.

Protesters took turns beating on the torso of the fallen statue, while others chanted "Glory to Ukraine!" Several hundred thousand Ukrainians occupied a central square in the capital earlier Sunday, denouncing President Viktor Yanukovych's decision to turn away from Europe and align this former Soviet republic with Russia.
Matt Rojansky, Director of the Kennan Institute, which specializes in the former Soviet bloc, told CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata: "Ukraine has only been independent for 22 some years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. What this European association agreement offers them is a chance to say, 'Look we've grown up as a country, our identity is a European country a modern country.'"
But others don't see it that way. A smaller, pro-government rally was held nearby. Many there believe closer ties to Russia are in the Ukraine's best interest, especially given their reliance on cheap Russian gas to heat their homes.
As widespread protests continued for a third week, Yanukovych's meeting on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin raised more fears that Ukraine is on the verge of entering a Russian-led customs union that critics say could end its economic and political sovereignty and place it back under Moscow's rule.
Ukrainian authorities have said that police won't take action against peaceful demonstrators, but concerns persist that some opposition activists may be goaded into violence.
After Sunday's mass protests began, Ukraine's security service said it was investigating several opposition leaders suspected of attempting to seize power amid the massive anti-government protests gripping the country. Sunday' statement by Ukraine's Security Service raised the stakes in the opposition's standoff with President Yanukovych.
The opposition branded Sunday's demonstration in Kiev the "march of a million," but the crowd fell short of that goal as some Ukrainians grew tired of the turmoil and others feared violence after riot police brutally beat demonstrators last weekend.

Opposition leaders, meanwhile, addressed the crowd with contradictory messages, underling the lack of a coherent plan forward among organizers.
In a letter read out by her daughter, jailed opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko called for Yanukovych's ouster and rejected holding any negotiations with his government unless they entailed early elections. Tymoshenko is in jail on abuse-of-office charges that Western nations consider politically motivated by Yanukovych's government.
"Yanukovych has lost legitimacy as president ... he is not no longer the president of our state, he is a tyrant," Tymoshenko wrote. "Don't give in, not a step back, don't give up, the future of Ukraine is in your hands."
But her top ally, Arseniy Yatsenyuk, said a day earlier that the opposition might sit down with the government for talks if Prime Minister Mykola Azarov's Cabinet is dismissed.
World boxing champion Vitali Klitschko, another top opposition leader, also called for Yanukovych's ouster and early presidential elections, even though there is no legal possibility to impeach him and virtually no chance that he would resign on his own.
"We will fight and we are confident that we will win," Klitschko said.
Yatsenyuk focused more on ousting Azarov, punishing the police who used force against demonstrators and freeing about a dozen opposition activists arrested since last Sunday's rally. He urged demonstrators to blockade the entire government district in Kiev, the capital, which houses the Cabinet, the presidential administration and the parliament.
"We are extending our demonstration, we are going to fight until victory, we will fight for what we believe in," Yatsenyuk told the crowd, dotted by Ukrainian and EU flags.
The protest in sub-zero December temperatures took place on Independence Square, known as the Maidan, which was the site of the country's 2004 pro-democracy Orange Revolution.
"Ukraine is tired of Yanukovych, we need new rules, we need to completely change those in power," said protester Kostyantyn Meselyuk, 42. "Europe can help us."
The demonstrations began last month after Yanukovych shelved the signing of an agreement to deepen ties with the 28-nation European Union in order to focus on Russia, which worked aggressively to derail the EU deal.
During a huge demonstration a week ago, several hundred radical protesters hurled stones and attacked police as they tried to storm the presidential office, prompting a violent breakup by the authorities in which dozens were injured, including peaceful protesters, passers-by and journalists.

GRAMMY Nominated Producer Latroit Joins EDM.com for New Podcast Series
Tune in bi-weekly to House of Latroit for new music that bridges the gap between club-friendly beats and main stage melodies.
Devin Culham
Up until recently, Latroit was a dance music project shrouded in obscurity. Fusing together the feel-good vibes of the West Coast with the soulful sounds of the Midwest, Latroit's approach to music was to create tracks that represent the best aspects of dance music's past and future. The man behind the name, Dennis White, purposely kept his name in the background, allowing his music to stand front and center.
But when you get nominated for a GRAMMY Award, that changes things pretty quickly.
Latroit's remix of Depeche Mode's "You Move" wasn't intended to be a critic's pick, so when White received the call saying he'd been nominated for Best Recorded Remix it came as a shock.
"I was excited and elated. And then I realized, oh shit, now I have all this work to do."
Despite having witnessed some of dance music's earliest and most intimate moments, White never intended to make dance music his career. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, Dennis was set on entering the world of live bands. It wasn't until a group of new DJ neighbors moved into the apartment loft next door in Detroit's Eastern Market that dance music came into his consciousness. Already making waves in Europe, the three young DJs Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, and Juan Atkins (who today are largely credited with the creation of techno music) were starting to see the potential of the dance music industry. In an effort to move from clubs to seated venues, Dennis was recruited by Kevin Saunderson to string together a band to perform futuristic music on more classic instruments. It was at this moment for White, that his approach to music shifted and electronic music took focus.
Fast forward to 2017, and White has been the mind behind several aliases, which have brought him gold, platinum, and double platinum records. But pushing for DJ superstardom has never been the goal. Up until recently, Latroit was more keen to develop other artists rather than himself. Through his House of Latroit label, White was an early supporter of acts like Sullivan King, Ghastly, and Deorro. Although the recent GRAMMY nomination is an achievement any artist would be happy to hand their hat on, White continues to focus his efforts on the health of the scene.
In partnership with EDM.com, Latroit is hosting a new bi-monthly podcast series entitled House of Latroit Radio. Featuring a finely curated selection of club-friendly beats that meet main stage melodies, House of Latroit features new releases, breakthrough singles, and artist interviews. You can catch the debut episode of House of Latroit Radio show featured on Mixcloud below!
Following the shocking (but happily received) Grammy nomination, we caught up with Latroit to discuss the new program:
Getting inspiration from the feel-good vibes of LA and the dancefloor burners of Detroit, tell us a bit about your approach to producing and DJing?
With regard to Producing, it depends on the medium and circumstance, really. Like, with the Depeche Mode remix, it is of paramount importance that their original recording and performances be honored, so I try to be mindful to not fuck around with those parts too much. My role in that remix was to maintain the integrity of the original composition, whilst aiming it at a dance floor. I'm not gonna 'chop and screw' a Dave Gahan vocal, you know? But a different type of artist, or my own productions, I might be inclined to bend those performances more to my will.
For original tracks, like "I Want More," or "Origami"… those start with riff or melody ideas that just come to me randomly when I'm out of the studio, on a run or whatever. I try to record the idea on my phone, and chase what was in my brain in the studio. And there are a lot of happy accidents as well. Honestly, my sort of 'signature' bass sound I found as a total accident – the midi for the bass line was playing and I switched presets by accident, and I was like, "Whoa… this is way better."
What was the first record that really made you consider, "Yes, this is what I want to do."
It wasn't a song, it was being at my babysitters house when I was in 2nd grade or something. They were a musical family and had a drum set a marimba, and keyboards. It was just me, alone in the room with these random instruments, and it felt really exciting. I've never done anything else. I'm utterly unhireable in the real world.
Congratulations on your recent GRAMMY nomination for Best Remixed Recording for Depeche Mode's "You Move." How did you react to the nomination?
Thanks. I'm really excited. I'm proud of my remix, but I definitely don't have any delusions of grandeur here… this is more Depeche Mode's nomination than mine, you know? I was just lucky enough to be the one to get his hands on the parts to do the remix. I remember playing the solo'd tracks of the individual parts of the song over and over with this huge smile on my face. Then imagine, 8 months later I get this call out of the middle of nowhere connecting the dots between that pure 'Fan' moment, and a Grammy nomination…. WTF?? It was a friend who had called to tell me that it had happened, and according to my girlfriend, I reacted as if someone had died… she was actually really nervous for a few seconds...
I was in disbelief for a while and then my phone started blowing up and it settled in that it had happened. I feel really grateful and lucky. I'll be honest…I always wanted a Grammy nomination – I really did – so this is a big moment in my life.
You're launching your House of Latroit Radio podcast series on Mixcloud soon. How are you programming these podcasts? What can fans expect to hear on House of Latroit Radio?
We had a lot of fun with my previous EDM.com show, L'Radio. I had a great relationship with the fans of that show, and I miss them, so I'm really excited for the launch of this show. I pull music primarily from the EDM.com network of labels, friends, and some promos. Oh, and I always try to sneak an old school classic or two in there. I like to have guest co-hosts to help bring a little personality to the show. I'm not aware of many dance music shows that take that approach.
Apart from heading to the GRAMMY ceremony next month, what else is coming up for Latroit?
Well, my current single with my friends and frequent collaborators Lliam Taylor and Charlz came out a couple weeks ago. It's a sort of downtempo, indie/ neo-soul romp called "Feather" and has been getting a bit of traction with Spotify on New Music Friday and Viral 50 charts. I co-wrote a track called "Creepin" with Lliam Taylor and LondonBridge that came out on Insomniac Records last month as well. Next year, I've got a few singles, the radio show, some Tv and film stuff, some side project collabs with Grabbitz and Sullivan King.
Come to think of it…I gotta go! I've got a hell of a 'to do' list this month!

6th Class enjoy baking brownies in Room 10!
Today we enjoyed baking our very own brownies from scratch. We all took part in making these scrumptious treats! We learned how to weigh and sift. We also learned the important skill of 'folding' in order to make our brownies light and spongey!!! We copied down the recipe and procedure afterwards and hope to make these treats again sometime!!!
We have been learning about the Great Irish Famine. We are reading the novel "Wildflower Girl" by Marita Conlon-McKenna have read about "An Gorta Mór" in our Gaeilge lessons and have listened to the Dubliner's version of the song "Skibbereen". We have looked at the topic from an Historical point of view and we have drawn images of the Famine in Charcoal inspired by our learning. We will continue to work on the Famine, doing some Drama on the topic, and learning about the causes of Famine around the world in our Geography and Science lessons. We are enjoying learning about such an important event in our Irish History and appreciate how different our own lives are now in comparison to that of our fore-fathers.
6th Class enjoyed researching and learning about Rainforest's and Rainforest animals. We later created Rainforest animals using Pointillism Art.
Congratulations to Natalija Savic in 6th class who won an art competition with Supermac's. The class were very lucky to be invited to make pizza for the morning. Have a look at us all making our Pizza.
5th Class - Room 9: Have a look at our fantastic projects on Australia!!
We have been learning a lot about Australia this month. We have learned many new things about the country; its history, animals, native people, sport and major attractions. We put a lot of work into our projects and are very proud of how they turned out.
1. We sieved 225g of self raising flour into a bowl.
2. We rubbed in 40g of butter.
3. We stirred in 1 and a half tablespoons of caster sugar and a pinch of salt.
4. We mixed in 150mls of milk to make a soft dough.
5. We cut out scones and baked in the oven for 12 minutes at 220oC.
6. We ate and enjoyed!!
Super 'Food Dudes' getting their certificates in Room 6!
Room 7 have been learning a lot about penguins and especially the Emperor Penguin.
The Emperor Penguin is the tallest of all penguin species, reaching as tall as 120 cm in height.
Emperor Penguins often huddle together to keep warm in the cold temperatures of Antarctica- this group is called a turtle!They take turns being in the warm centre and on the cold outside of the group. How kind!
Buddy Reading today with some of Mr. Cunningham's Senior Infants and Ms. Lillis' 4th Class. We tried Making Connections with the story. It was fun.
The infant classes visited the teddy bears' hospital in N.U.I.G. today. The trip was very exciting - even the bus journey there. We were met by student doctors who checked our teddies, wrote "prescriptions," and took "x rays." Then it was time for us to play and have our faces painted. A great day!!!!
Today the Junior and Senior Infants brought their sick teddies to The Teddy Bear Hospital in N.U.I.G. The doctors took a look at our sick teddies and gave us a prescription to help them feel better. We then brought our teddies for M.R.I's and x - rays. We had great fun on the bouncing castle and getting our face painted. Here are some photograph's of our fun day out.
The children in 6th class have been studying the Titanic in history. They each took a specific date and time and drew an illustration to accompany their caption to make a class timeline. Our timeline dates from 1908 to 1912. They researched questions on the topic during IT and carried out a class quiz. The children also constructed their very own Titanic replicas from cardboard and masking tape. They then painted it to their own personal taste!
Today Ms Regan's class made chocolate brownies. We used brown and white chocolate. We learned a lot about baking. Then we ate them! Yummy!
Just before the Christmas Holidays, Senior Infants iced some Christmas Cookies. We iced snowmen and christmas trees. We had great fun, and they tasted delicious!!
Senior Infants put on a great play - the bossy king - just before the holidays. We had great form practicing and performing it. Thanks to everyone for the help with costumes. Don't we look great?
Well done to our 6th class debating team who came extremely close to qualifying for the final of the competition. We are extremely proud of our captain Aenghus McDonell and fellow speakers Jack O' Rourke and Sahil Gupta. Cathal Keane, Hannah O' Connell and Mikey Maguire were also chosen as substitutes. It was truly a whole class effort however, and the team really appreciated the advice and helpful hints from their classmates. It was a narrow defeat to Scoil Chroí Naofa, Athenry of 1 point!!!!!! Our school was proposing the motion "Every child should have a mobile phone". Well done to all involved!
The children in 6th class have been learning about advertising techniques recently. They each selected an advert that they found particularly appealing and brought it in and presented it to the class. They pointed out the various techniques used which caught their attention. After looking at everybody's example they then drew up their very own unique advert in Art and presented it to the class!
Sixth Class enjoying Zumba Dance Class!
We made banana buns in Room 8!
We have been enjoying exploring what angles we can make with clocks, CD's, Books, Scissors and most fun of all..... our bodies! We have learned about a new tpe of angle, the reflex angle: it is greater than 180 degrees and less than 360 degrees.
The children in 6th class spent time preparing and presenting projects on the history of the Titanic before constructing their own versions of the Titanic using materials gathered. Have a look at the children at work.
We had great fun preparing and performing our Christmas play in Mr McDonagh's 4th class.
The two sixth classes performed a Carol Service this Christmas. They picked a few of their all-time favourite Christmas hits and got into the festive spirit! Some children sang solo and harmonies. Other children played their instruments along with the choir. It was a really lovely performance - well done to all the children involved for putting on a great show!

Ric Flair says he feels "20 years younger" after betraying his daughter to claim the WWE Championship.
Legendary professional wrestler Ric Flair has once again lived up to his monicker as the "dirtiest player in the game" by sneak-attacking his own daughter, Charlotte, to win the WWE Women's Championship.
For months, Flair has pretended to be Charlotte's most loyal advocate and co-conspirator, but it seems that was all an elaborate subterfuge to ensure Charlotte would let her guard down.
At a WWE live event last night in Tallahassee, Charlotte issued an "open challenge to anyone in WWE" to face her for the Women's Championship.
Flair, exploiting a new loophole in WWE — that female wrestlers are now "Superstars" instead of "Divas," thus allowing impromptu intergender matches — slid into the ring and clobbered his daughter from behind with a pair of brass knuckles that had apparently been concealed in his underpants.
After pinning Charlotte (surreptitiously using the ring ropes for leverage), Flair strutted about the ring with the Women's Championship around his waist, mocking his heartbroken daughter.
Flair is scheduled to defend his championship against Becky Lynch this Monday on Raw.

With the Apollo-Soyuz Handshake in Space, the Cold War Thawed a Little
Russia's Ambassador to the United States recalls an iconic example of space détente, 45 years ago this week.
Anatoly Antonov
Deke Slayton (left) and Alexei Leonov made their first and second spaceflights, respectively, on Apollo-Soyuz. Slayton was one of NASA's original Mercury astronauts, but had been grounded for years due to a medical condition. Ten years earlier, Leonov had been the first human to walk in space.
The history of Russia-U.S. interaction in space has quite a few bright pages. And top honors go to the Apollo–Soyuz experimental flight that took place 45 years ago, from July 15 to 21, 1975.
This mission was the first step in cooperation between Moscow and Washington to explore the boundless reaches of outer space. More importantly, it helped establish an atmosphere of true partnership between the two space superpowers, which persists today.
Back then, the joint initiative epitomized the détente in relations between the U.S.S.R. and the United States that began as the 1960s turned into the 1970s. The orbital flight was designed to demonstrate that despite all political and ideological differences, the two nations could work together. It's no exaggeration to say that the whole world—which had been on the brink of nuclear war during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis—looked forward to such a signal.
After the initiative was approved at the highest levels of government, the two sides got down to business. An important task was to select crews for the in-space meet-up. Soyuz 19 flew with cosmonauts Alexei A. Leonov and Valeri N. Kubasov on board. The Apollo crew was made up of astronauts Thomas S. Stafford, Vance D. Brand and Donald K. Slayton.
Both spacecraft were successfully launched on July 15, 1975. The historic docking happened two days later, on the evening of July 17. Interesting fact: Hatches between the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft were opened when the ships were passing over the Elbe River in Germany, which had been the site of a famous meeting between Soviet and American troops in April 1945, when the two countries were fighting together against Nazi Germany. Leonov later noted, "Our fathers met on the Elbe in 1945, and their sons met over the Elbe in 1975. That was some kind of providence."
Tom Stafford, Commander for the U.S. side (left), and Leonov became lifelong friends following the mission.
Ground teams had to learn to cooperate, too. Here a group of Soviet flight controllers serving at NASA's Mission Control Center in Houston applaud the successful touchdown of the Soyuz spacecraft in Central Asia.
The two space programs mostly used their own hardware, but had to jointly come up with a new docking module so the two spacecraft could meet up in space.
A replica of the combined Apollo-Soyuz vehicles is now in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
The crew of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, from left: Donald K. "Deke" Slayton, docking module pilot of the American crew; Valeriy N. Kubasov, engineer on the Soviet crew; Alexei A. Leonov, commander of the Soviet crew; Thomas P. Stafford, commander of the American crew; and Vance D. Brand, command module pilot of the American crew.
Photos capturing the crews' joy during their meeting gained worldwide fame. The participants had a feeling that the docking marked a new era in the history of mankind. After the two commanders—Leonov and Stafford—symbolically exchanged a handshake, the astronauts visited Soyuz, where they were received with traditional Russian hospitality. Later, the cosmonauts paid a reciprocal visit to Apollo. Americans tried to speak Russian, while the Soviet representatives practiced their English. The joint flight lasted almost two days, then the ships undocked and successfully returned to Earth.
The Apollo–Soyuz mission showed that different political systems were not an obstacle for establishing strong, friendly ties between people. The story of Leonov and Stafford is a vivid example. The commanders continued to communicate closely for many years after their flight. They regularly exchanged phone calls and met in Russia and the United States. "My home is Tom Stafford's home," said the famous cosmonaut. In turn, one of Stafford's grandsons was named Alexei.
Unfortunately, as time goes by, fewer heroes of that flight are still with us. Deke Slayton passed away in 1993, Valeri Kubasov in 2014, and Leonov just last October.
But their achievement remains in the memory of humankind. It paved the way for cooperation on today's International Space Station, and Russian and U.S. leaders have reaffirmed many times their commitment to continued collaboration in this sphere, emphasizing its mutually beneficial nature.
Whatever the situation on our planet, cosmonauts and astronauts continue to work together in a spirit of true partnership. Hundreds of miles away from the rest of humanity, their mutual assistance and readiness to help one another are of real, as well as symbolic, importance.
Without any doubt, the legacy of the Apollo–Soyuz mission is still relevant. Its most important lesson is that unpoliticized dialogue between our countries opens broad opportunities for productive joint work.
Anatoly Antonov is the Ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States.

Five ingredients that play well with gin (and we're not talking about tonic).
It's hard to see perfect couples break up—sniff sniff Kermit and Miss Piggy—so we understand that it will be hard to separate your gin from your tonic. (The pair has been showing up at parties for as long as we can remember, bringing joy and laughter.) But good can come of this split: If you let gin party down with Champagne, lime, lemon, sugar, and mint, five equally refreshing, herbal drinks are right around the corner. Soon enough, gin might be saying: "Tonic, who?"
