It's At the Movies Again!
I have been watching At the Movies for years. (Yep… Years ago, when it aired on PBS!) I started watching it when Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert reviewed the current movies. Their discussions never ceased to entertain my husband and me. We were saddened by Gene Siskel's death. I always got the feeling that Siskel and Ebert respected and liked one another, even though they rarely agreed on a movie.
My husband and I continued watching At the Movies throughout Roeper's tenure. The show used the same format to review the current movies. We were very sorry when Ebert left the show (due to illness) but continued to watch (and enjoy!) as Roeper had guest hosts fill Roger's seat on the aisle.
My husband watched the first two shows of this duo's At the Movies, but refused to watch after that. Not only did the show have these two men reviewing the current movies, but they also had three more reviewers rating the movies and then "tabulating" their scores. (What a waste of time!!!) I had enjoyed Ben Mankiewicz on the Turner Classic Movies channel, but found that the rapport between him and Lyons just didn't cut it.
YAHOO!!! These two critics were by far our favorite guest hosts who appeared with Roeper during Ebert's illness. So while I'm sorry that Ebert decided not to come back to the show that he and Siskel started, and while I'm sorry that Roeper is no longer on At the Movies, I am not sorry that the show is back up to the standards I enjoyed oh-so-many years ago!
Hey, caught your story. You actually watched more episodes with the two bens than I did. I checked out in the first episode, couldn't take it.
Oh my gosh>>> It was called Sneak Previews back then. How did I forget that?!?
I enjoyed going down memory lane, while reading your very in-depth blog about the history of the show.Your article brought back those days when (you're correct!!!) it was the only way to get reviews of current movies.
Thanks for posting your entry, very well-researched and an enjoyable read!


To mark the 150th anniversary of Debussy#s birth in 2012, Henle are proud to present a tribute to his piano solo works in three volumes, available as a paperbound or a clothbound edition. As a publishing house whose main focus is on piano music, it was important for Henle to give a special place to the works of Claude Debussy, the innovator of piano style. Thus since the early 1980s they have steadily been publishing single editions of all of Debussy#s important works for the piano. Henle's editor Ernst-Günter Heinemann has worked closely with the French Debussy scholar François Lesure to present Debussy#s elaborate music in high quality Urtext editions. Beginning with the "Danse bohémienne" from 1880, all of the single works from Henle's catalogue have been drawn together in these three volumes, arranged according to their date of composition. And as a little "encore" Henle have included the Prélude to the cantata "La Damoiselle élue" in volume I. Each of the three volumes contains true highlights for the piano. But the short and lesser known works also offer a glimpse at the modern classical composer Debussy from a different angle. In addition each volume contains a helpful glossary with all of Debussy#s often very vivid performance instructions translated into English and German. Bon anniversaire, Claude Debussy!?

The concept of a biorefinery generating a spectrum of biomass-based products arranged in a value chain is the biggest research challenge for the next decades.

And secondly, applied research effects associated with biorefineries, new biorefinery processes and products implemented in the future market portfolio will integrate three fundamental areas of sustainable development: economy, environment, and society.


This year Raizner Slania LLP was proud to participate in the Food From the Bar program. Food From the Bar is a month long friendly competition among local law firms and corporate legal departments to raise money, gather food, and donate time to the Houston Food Bank. Because of the devastation of Hurricane Harvey last fall, food from the Houston Food Bank has been even more needed for thousands of Houstonians. Since the inception of the Food From the Bar program in 2016, one of Raizner Slania's attorneys, Ben Wickert has served on the steering committee. We are very proud of Ben's involvement, and the firm is honored to help serve our community.
This year marked the 3rd Annual Food From the Bar program, and the legal community of Houston did not disappoint! Law firms and lawyers from across the city came together to help the Houston Food Bank in its mission to feed Houstonians and reduce food waste.
Raizner Slania worked to generate the equivalent of 5,500 meals during the Food From the Bar program, earning the firm a Bronze Partner achievement award. Raizner Slania participated with 37 other legal organizations; and, in total the program raised $200,519, collected 16,196 pounds of food, and donated 2,475 volunteer hours, which generated the equivalent of 763,554 meals for our community.
Everything's bigger in Texas, and the Houston Food Bank is no exception! The Houston Food Bank is the largest food bank in the country, and in 2015 it was nationally recognized as Feeding America's Food Bank of the Year. The Houston Food Bank distributes 83 million nutritious meals through its network of 600 food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other hunger relief charities in southeast Texas, feeding 800,000 individuals each year.
The entire legal team at Raizner Slania was honored to have participated in Food From the Bar and we look forward to participating again next year. If you want to know more about the Food From the Bar program, feel free reach out to Ben Wickert or you can contact us online.

Daniel Sturridge predicts 'amazing' season for Liverpool
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is tipping Brendan Rodgers's side to have a successful season
Monday 14 July 2014, 13:00 UK
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge Photo: Nike
Daniel Sturridge is tipping Liverpool to have an "amazing" season despite losing their talisman Luis Suarez.
The England international was a key part of Liverpool's Premier League title bid last season, scoring 21 goals in 29 top-flight appearances.
We are looking forward to a big year, it is going to be a big season and we can't wait to go on as it is going to be amazing
Daniel Sturridge
And Sturridge, who moved to the Reds from Chelsea in January 2013, is feeling optimistic about the club's chances of winning silverware this term.
"It is a great feeling; it is a lot of people's dream to be playing for a club like Liverpool, and so I am living my dream and I am thankful for everything that has come my way," Sturridge told Jamaica Observer.
"I am looking forward to the future, as I said before, it is going to be a big deal for me and I am really excited.
"We missed out on winning the league last season which is kind of hurtful, but we are moving on now and we are looking forward to next season.
"We are looking forward to a big year, it is going to be a big season and we can't wait to go on as it is going to be amazing."
Sturridge is hoping that the England squad can learn from their disappointing group-stage exit after failing to win Group D game at the World Cup.
"It hurts, but you know in situations like these you live and learn," Sturridge. "You improve from these disappointments and I am looking forward to the future.
"There have been a lot of things that have happened and a lot of things that we have experienced and it has been a great learning curve for us. We are looking forward to the future where we can improve as a team."

Q: failed to make test using uiautomator 2.0 I want to make uiautomator 2.0 test from the command line. My steps are below:

*

*create an Instrumentation project, the code is below:
package com.android.uiautomator.client;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;
import android.app.Application;
import android.app.Instrumentation;
import android.content.Context;
import android.support.test.InstrumentationRegistry;
import android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnit4;
import android.test.ApplicationTestCase;

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class Initialize {

@Test
public void testStartServer() {
    System.out.println("this is the test");
}
}

*use gradlew to generate the test apk

*install the test apk into the android emulator
adb shell push ${apkPath}/test.apk /data/local/tmp/com.android.test

adb shell pm install -r /data/local/tmp/com.android.test

*check if the test apk is installed successfully. And I can find the installed apk.
adb shell pm list packages

*after install, I check the Instrumentation in the emulator, but I cant't find the Instrumentation about the test apk. This will lead to failed on executing the command:
adb shell am instrument -e class com.android.uiautomator.client.Initialize -w com.android.uiautomator.client.test/android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner

so, I am confused. Why can't I find the instrumentation after I have installed the test apk?

A: You should run
$ adb shell pm list instrumentation | grep 'target=applicationId'

replacing applicationId by your applicationId to check the available instrumentations for an app.

ABOUT FISCAL SPONSORSHIP
Fiscal sponsorship is the largest component of the Production Assistance Program. It's designed for women identified filmmakers who are actively fundraising for their film and need 501(c)(3) non-profit tax-exempt status, which is required by many foundations, corporations and government agencies in order to be eligible for funding. Additionally, 501(c)(3) status allows you to receive charitable deductible contributions from individuals—a major incentive for individuals considering making a donation to your project.
Grounders takes an intimate look at the Prospect Park Women's Softball League in Brooklyn, New York. This documentary explores the history of the league and the community it has created. Getting to know the players, fans, and umpires we understand what happens when women take the field to play.
The Prospect Park Women's Softball League ("PPWSL") was formed in Brooklyn, New York in 1981 with a mission to welcome all women to play regardless of prior experience. The founders had a simple yet radical vision; to support and encourage women to participate in a sports league built on acceptance and instruction. The PPWSL continues to be a place where women meet across differences of race, economic class, sexual orientation, education, religion, and gender identity to play softball. Grounders is a documentary film that takes an intimate look at this league and the community that has formed around it.
During the course of production some themes emerged: the impact of Title IX, how messages women received in their families of origin impacts their relationship to sports and their bodies, the importance of belonging to a team, and the empowerment gained from being part of a woman-led community. For some, playing has a therapeutic effect of undoing negative experiences endured as girls during schoolyard recess. For some being out on the softball field has always been a place of empowerment and joy. For every woman playing there is an obstacle to overcome, but once they get out to the field and play it all seems to make sense.
I began working on Grounders after ten years of being a player in the PPWSL. It was clear to me that there was something very special about this community of women and I wanted to capture it, understand its complexity, and share it with others.

Home Perspectives Setting Egypt on fire
Setting Egypt on fire
Crane Brinton (a saint among historians) tells us that dictators are human: they cite "plots," "conspiracies" and "unprincipled schemers" to excuse their tyranny. So it is that Louis XVI blamed the devious Duc D'Orleans for the Bastille's fall, George III railed against an obstinate "clique" of deluded tavern keepers, and Nicholas II attributed his forced retirement to unscrupulous freemasons. Yet, while we moderns chuckle at these foolish explanations, they remain attractive among those who view the current contretemps in Cairo (and elsewhere) with suspicion.
In truth, not much has changed since the cart carrying "Citizen Capet" rolled towards the guillotine–except for our language. Now, instead of blaming devious dukes, deluded tavern keepers and crafty (so to speak) freemasons, we have a new trinity of conspirators: Wikileaks, the "social media" and al-Jazeera. They are the new "outside agitators," the "unwanted foreign elements" in our happy, happy midst. So it is that Hillary Clinton called the Wikileaks revelations an "attack" on US "foreign policy interests", Egypt Today suggested banning Facebook and Omar Suleiman blamed "unfriendly TV stations" (not Egypt Today, presumably) for "inciting youth against us."
In the midst of our tut-tut-tutting over such silly statements, it might be useful to reflect on our complicity in repeating them. American network anchors seem unaware that words betray emotions–and political preferences. Hence, while State Department and White House officials "strategize", the Muslim Brotherhood "plots", while CBS and CNN "report", al-Jazeera "blares", while Mr. Mubarak and Co. go about the business of "managing Egypt's challenges," Google and Facebook and Twitter "find ways to exploit" Egypt's "reservoir of popular discontent". Even the most sober among us (a Middle East scholar soporifically intoned) "is forced to admit," that "while the social media and al-Jazeera did not cause this unrest, it's hard to imagine all this happening without them." That seems true, if trivial. Think of it: without that damned Guttenberg, there'd have been no Thomas Paine.
This is not to say that Wikileaks, the social media and al-Jazeera are not important. They are. They may even be revolutions in themselves: Wikileaks provides a more accessible means of publishing secrets, the social media a faster way of accelerating political protest and al-Jazeera a new way of viewing it–allowing, as television does, a camera to tell the story. Then too, the "cyberactivists" of Egypt's demonstrations mastered (as Maryam Ishani writes) "new-media tools to report events, alert participants about security situations, and provide legal assistance to those rounded up by state security forces." This is an important observation, if simply confirmation that today's media is the equivalent of America's "committees of correspondence", France's "committees of public safety", and Russia's "peasants and workers soviets".
Thankfully, all the chatter about how Egypt's revolution would not have been possible without the (quick intake of breath) "new media", has been dampened by those who know it best. "Tunisians took to the streets due to decades of frustration, not in reaction to a WikiLeaks cable, a denial-of-service attack, or a Facebook update," Ethan Zuckerman wrote in Foreign Policy in mid-January. "This is not a Facebook revolution, and not an Internet revolution," one Egyptian protester insisted. "This is not about the Internet, this is about the needs and demands of the Egyptian people."
This seems more than just an opinion: "Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen have a combined total of 14,642 Twitter users," one political blogger notes. So why all the fuss? "The Western media's focus on so-called Twitter Revolutions," he goes on to note, "may tell less" about revolutions "and more about the preoccupations of the American journalists who cover them."
These views simply (though not merely) confirm what historians and political observers have long known: that while our means of communicating has certainly been transformed, what's being communicated has not. The causes that sent people into the streets of Boston, Paris and Petrograd in 1776, 1789 and 1917 are the same as those that sent them into the streets of Cairo in 2011: a greedy king, a squalid court, a botched government–a ruthless regime.
Fifteen years–fifteen years!–before the Bastille was stormed, France's future (and Louie's) was foretold by a lonely figure on a Paris stage: "Because you are a great lord, you think you are a great genius," Beaumarchais has Figaro say, ". . . nobility, fortune, rank, appointments, all this makes a man so proud! But what have you done to deserve so many good things? You took the trouble to get born." Hmmm: perhaps Louis Capet should have closed the theatres. Which is to argue that the fires of all revolutions, including the one in Cairo, are not kindled by pamphlets, broadsides, or even internet sites but (as James Billington notes) are set alight by "ideas in the minds of men".

Unavoidably Unsafe: vaccine truths in the information age
Well, it's 2012 and I've made some resolutions. I like to make a lot of them every year, because statistically I can probably manage to stick to one or two just by virtue of having about fifty. Some of them are pretty easy, like "Don't drink drain cleaner," and "try and avoid contracting a heritable disorder," but some of them, like "Don't use hand sanitizer to get drunk in prison" are tougher. Some things are just beyond my control.
One thing that I have actually committed to doing is to write more about issues that matter to me. It's super easy for me to craft a post for the sole purpose of referring to Daniel Quinn as a total asshole, but not so easy for me to deliberately confront my own defensible truths. And so in my first post this year, I want to write about something that I think is really important to a lot of people, and that's a frank discussion of the doctrine of fear surrounding vaccinations.
I have been flippantly censorious of the vaccine phobia more than once on this blog, and I unequivocally stand by my position that exposure to Jenny McCarthy should result in a quarantine. I will, admit, however, that statements like that don't really serve to educate or conciliate people who don't already agree with me, and I'm not sure that it's not an irresponsible application of my education in health sciences to alienate people who have legitimate curiosities about the dangers of vaccines.
Historically, the implementation of all public health interventions has been characterized by a conflict between personal autonomy and public benefit. This poses a formidable dilemma. The ethical execution of public health should always take into account the fact that implementing public health programs creates a palpable tension between individual autonomy and perceived population benefit. While it is, of course, requisite that there always be an explicit respect for persons inherent in every public health action, there are instances in which the overarching principle of beneficence takes precedent. Those instances must be carefully analyzed and objectively evaluated, and they are rare and far between. Newborn screening programs, childhood vaccinations and water fluoridation are three of relatively few such programs ever implemented in the United States. The conflict is not one that policy makers underrate; it's difficult to minimize the impact of what might be characterized as a transgression on personal freedoms in a society as committed to individual liberty as ours.
This is especially difficult when policy dictates that we impose a measure in the name of public health that is perceived as dangerous, and potentially harmful. Vaccinating children is such a measure, and the controversy generated by state laws mandating these vaccinations has been prodigious.
It is really easy for those of us in public health to dismiss dissenters as lunatics and morons. It is really, really easy to wax lyrical about the fatuity of this movement, to make fun of the maniacs who commit violations of federal laws to expose their children to infected candy mailed to them by a stranger from the internet, OH MY GOD.
But it is ultimately not very helpful.
It is irresponsible and harmful to dismiss this population as imbecilic or insane. I realize that it's simpler, and I've been guilty of it myself, but in many ways that behavior reduces you to the practice of blaming the victim. The central tenet of public health is not that we show respect only for the people who agree with us. Public health requires a necessary element of education, because you are not dealing with a horde of scientific practitioners, you are dealing with the public. IT SAYS SO RIGHT IN THE FUCKING NAME. Public health. And public opinion matters, especially in a case like this.
So in my opinion, it is far more efficacious to acknowledge that these fears exist, and that the potential impact of these fears on the overall health of our population is significant. And that, whether or not we believe wholeheartedly that these fears are ignorant, or wrongheaded, or pernicious, we do not fulfill our duty to one another by deriding those beliefs. So here are some facts.
Vaccines work by providing the body with an ersatz version of the disease in question, and allowing the body an opportunity to mount a response to the fascimile, without exposing the individual to the whole package. Diseases are neutralized for vaccines in different ways. Often, the infectious agent is killed by heat or other chemicals. sometimes, the virus' ability to reproduce is destroyed, meaning that the disease cannot mulitply in the body. For some diseases, like hepatitus, it is enough to simply expose the immune system to an associated protein. Once a virus has been killed or neutralized, it cannot hurt you. The illness that people feel after receiving a vaccine is not the virus contained in the vaccine, it is your immune system responding to a foreign agent, memorizing it, and mounting a response designed to remove it. Once your immune system has recognized something as harmful, it can be destroyed. And given another exposure, your body will simply annihilate the intruder without the necessity of a full scale immune response. This is why people only get the chicken pox once - your body won't be fooled twice by the same trick. Colds and influenzas are slightly different, since those viruses are always changing and adapting. This is why some people get a flu shot every year.
The truth is that vaccines are not always 100% safe. They contain some preservatives that look and sound alarming. They occasionally precipitate an immune system response that can be unpleasant. Other safety concerns have revolved around mercury and Thimerosal, which is a compound containing organomercury, historically used as a preservative in vaccines and other medications. Over the course of the last decade, safety concerns about the use of Thimerosal (also known as Merthioloate, the trade name of the compound developed by Eli Lilly) have prompted the FDA to phase out its use from vaccines given to children under six. That means that the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccine, traditionally given at 18 months, does NOT contain Thimerosal.
It is worth noting that all of the multiple trails testing the safety and efficacy of Thimerosal have suggested that the compound is safe for the controlled uses to which it is put. However, public opinion and preference has guided the evolution of policy on this issue; and the development of more acceptable compounds has made the substitution much easier.
One exceedingly harmful myth about vaccines is that the government requires them simply because the government is in business with big pharma. THAT IS FALSE.
Vaccines themselves reside in a nebulous legal category known as "Unavoidably Unsafe." This is a designation given to drugs that are deemed necessary for population health, but which cannot be designed to be entirely innocuous. This label means that there is a certain amount of risk inherent in the treatment, but that the benefits outweigh the harms so significantly that there can be no question about the propriety of administering it.
If a company were to be held responsible for every adverse side effect resulting from a drug, there would be an enormous economic disincentive to making that drug. This is why safety trials are necessary. If, however, the product is considered necessary, the companies that create these products are allowed a certain amount of indemnity from litigation, in order to assure that access to these necessary treatments is retained.
Products must meet very, very specific criteria in order to be considered "Unavoidably Unsafe." The product must be produced to the standard specifications, meaning that there must be no error or negligence in the actual production of the product that caused the damage. If a company were to make a mistake in a batch of vaccines, for instance, and accidentally add a bunch of rat poison, the product would not be considered "Unavoidably Unsafe," it would be considered "Shitty." Secondly, the marketers of the product must be transparent about the potential known risks. The product must, as discussed above, have a clinical utility that greatly overrides the potential for harm, and there must be no other alternative to the product available.
As it stands, we don't have a better alternative for vaccines. They can sometimes cause our immune systems distress. Care providers are honest about those potentials, and vaccines have proven to be so advantageous and beneficial that those risks have been deemed acceptable. And all of this would be ok, if it weren't for our 21st century witch hunt for the causes of Autism.
An additional truth is that the vaccine schedule is, in fact, kind of arbitrary. Vaccines are scheduled at 18 months because they will conform to the changes in a child's immune system as they acquire their own resistance, and so they will coincide with established wellness checkups. That is convenient, and in the consumer driven medical market that we have created for health care, convenience is king. It is also true that 18 months is the time that many symptoms of disorders on the autism spectrum become apparent. It's understandable that this connection might be where we start to look for a causal relationship.
What it is imperative to remember is that correlation is not causation. A 1998 study published in the British Medical Journal, The Lancet, claimed to have demonstrated a causal link between vaccinations and the onset of traditional symptomology pathognomonic of autism. This study terrified people, and caused a widespread panic. Consequentially, many people refused to vaccinate their children, and the findings were widely publicized by the media. Over the subsequent decade, follow-up studies failed to replicate the results, all of the co-investigators of the study dissociated themselves from the paper, and in 2010, the Lancet itself withdrew the publication. What this means is that the information and the associations supported by the data collected in the study have proven to be spurious. As it turned out, the lead investigator was found to have fabricated those data, and was forced to acknowledge the fraud in ignominy. The twist here is that this retraction was not as widely publicized as were the initial study findings. The NIH and the WHO did not embark on an aggressive media campaign, trusting that every mom in the world had nothing better to do than refresh the lancet website daily researching ethics violations. Even I only do that when I've been drinking cooking wine and thinking bitter thoughts about Anthony Bourdain.
So what we're left with is a significant proportion of the population that have been grievously misinformed by a primary source, which was subsequently interpreted and disseminated by innumerable other sources and inadequately refuted by organizations that should have made it a top priority. By then it was a little late; the damage was widespread, and the consequences are becoming apparent.
The concept of population health is in a way self-sustaining, in that we rely heavily on acquired or achieved immunity in others to protect ourselves. We call this "herd immunity," and we base our assumption on the principle that diseases rely on susceptibility in their target organisms to spread. reducing the overall susceptibility in a population provides less opportunities for infection, thereby reducing the rate of incidence. When a large cadre of people fail to acquire immunity through vaccination, an infected agent's ability to spread is greatly increased. Already in the United States we are seeing the consequences of the reluctance to vaccinate, in resurgences of diseases we had previously suppressed, such as whooping cough, and Rubella.
the vast majority of opposition to vaccinations is predicated on information that was fraudulently derived, and irresponsibly disseminated. I think that frustration with this misinformation is driving a large proportion of the intolerance that many medical professionals are demonstrating when people express their concerns, but I don't feel that that frustration gets us anywhere.
Our society places a high value on the principle of autonomy. And if you are an advocate of autonomy, it's important to realize that the option of choice should be exercised responsibly, and on the basis of the best information available. Fear and tenuous supposition are poor substitutes for ratiocination and primary source material.
So let's be excellent to one another. And don't eat shit you bought on ebay. Jesus Christ, guys.

Birth of Sir Philip Francis
October 22, 2018 by Jim Doyle	Leave a comment
Sir Philip Francis, Irish-born British politician and pamphleteer, is born in Dublin on October 22, 1740. He is known as an antagonist of Warren Hastings, the first governor-general of British India.
The son of Dr. Philip Francis, a man known by his translations of Horace, Aeschines and Demosthenes, Francis is educated in Dublin and London and holds a variety of clerical posts in the government from 1756 to 1773. He may have written the Letters of Junius, a series of bitter lampoons against the government of King George III published by a London newspaper from 1769 to 1772, when he was a clerk in the war office. The authorship of the letters has been assigned to Francis on a variety of grounds, including a computer-aided analysis of the Junius texts in the 1960s.
In June 1773 the prime minister, Lord Frederick North, appointed Francis a member of the newly created four-man council that is to rule British possessions in India with Governor-General Hastings. He leads two of his colleagues in a struggle against Hastings, in part because he covets Hastings' job, but there are also differences between the two men on policy matters, including land-revenue collection. Although Hastings gains the upper hand by 1776 after two of the opposing councilors die, Francis continues his attacks and, in 1780, the governor-general wounds him in a duel.
Returning to England in 1781, Francis turns public opinion against Hastings with a series of anonymous pamphlets. He enters the House of Commons of the United Kingdom in 1784 and is the moving spirit behind Hastings' impeachment, begun in 1788. The acquittal of Hastings in 1795 embitters Francis deeply and leads to his defeat in a parliamentary election. He served again in Parliament from 1802 to 1807, at which time he retires from politics. He is knighted in 1806.
Sir Philip Francis dies in London on December 23, 1818.

Royal Navy sends Type 45 destroyer to Persian Gulf amid escalating tension
Foreign Office protests to Spain chase and shooting incident in Gibraltar waters
Tuesday, June 25th 2013 - 18:20 UTC
Full article 43 comments
Minister for Europe Lidington released a statement on the incident
British Minister for Europe David Lidington strongly protested on Tuesday to Spanish Minister, Íñigo Mendez de Vigo, following an incident in British Gibraltar territorial waters, when allegedly shots were fired.
"I spoke today with Spanish Minister for the European Union, Íñigo Mendez de Vigo, in order to protest in the strongest terms following an incident on 23 June in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW). During an illegal incursion by a Guardia Civil vessel, a Guardia Civil officer fired a weapon.
"I made clear that the discharge of a weapon in or near Gibraltar is completely unacceptable. I urged Señor Mendez de Vigo to investigate urgently and to take action to ensure that this will not happen again.
"I can also confirm that I have instructed the Chargé D'Affaires in Madrid to reiterate this protest in person to the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and to request a full explanation".
The incident is said to have occurred on Sunday evening and apparently four shots were fired at two people on a jet ski as they were chased by a Guardia Civil vessel. A short video clip posted on Facebook showed grainy footage of the chase. A loud pop resembling a gunshot can clearly be distinguished in the accompanying audio.
The Royal Gibraltar Police said it was investigating details of the incident.
"The Government has been in close contact already with the RGP in assessing the information available," No.6 Convent Place said in a statement.
"The facts are in the process of being fully determined and when they are, decisions will be made as to how best to react to the incident."
A spokesman for the Convent said British officials were also aware of the incident on Sunday evening.
"The Royal Navy Gibraltar Squadron challenged the unlawful incursion by Guardia Civil vessel Rio Cedena around the Western Beach area and the vessel departed BGTW," the spokesman said.

Briton
Just reading about this from other sites,
interesting to note, the british again warn,,
how many time are we going to warn them, before someone dies,
how many warnings does it take to spain to get them to listen,
sooner or later the goverment will have to send the royal navy , and fxck the trade,
after all, how long will it be before spain says, hang on matey we have been going in and out of our waters for over a decade and you did nothing..
????????sometimes diplomacy fails, and the stick must be used..

The University of Colorado's President Saliman Visits JILA
Submitted by kennac on Mon, 05/23/2022 - 9:32 am
President Todd Saliman visits JILA and NIST Fellow Eric Cornell and his laboratory team
Kenna Castleberry/JILA
University of Colorado President Todd Saliman visited JILA this past week and toured the laboratories at the invitation of JILA and NIST Fellow Eric Cornell.
Saliman was impressed by the research team and Fellows and applauded their work.
"You are all working to change the world," President Saliman said.
His visit was due to an invitation from JILA and NIST Fellow Eric Cornell to tour his laboratories. Cornell has been a scientist at JILA since the 1990s and research impacts the fundamental areas of atomic, molecular, and optical physics well as quantum mechanics. His work on the Bose-Einstein Condensate, an ultracold quantum system, won him and fellow researcher Carl Weinman Nobel Prizes in 2001. From that time on, Cornell has continued to research atomic and molecular optics, mentoring many graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in their careers.
President Saliman viewed two of Cornell's laboratories, looking at several laser systems the researchers use to study electrons and other particles. Cornell, for his part, was delighted to explain his research and introduced his entire laboratory team to President Saliman. The President was amazed by not only Cornell's research but the team, ranging from recently graduated undergraduates to post-doctoral researchers. President Saliman asked Cornell about the impact of his research on both scientific discovery and his work mentoring students and researchers in his laboratory.
"The students and post-docs are my pride and joy," Cornell stated.
Philip Matokyn, Executive Director of CU Boulder's CUbit Quantum Initiative joined the visit. CUbit connects quantum researchers across the University with Colorado and the broader CO ecosystem. quantum companies. Makotyn, who studied at JILA under Eric Cornell for his Ph.D., spoke to President Saliman about the growing quantum community within the state. President Saliman was engaged about the impact of quantum technology and CU and JILA's historic role in the field.
Before ending the tour, the president asked to take a selfie with the Cornell laboratory team. Many of the team members spoke briefly with the president about their work. President Saliman asked how many hours they worked, with the researchers replying that a typical day ranged from seven to ten hours.

I couldn't be happier with it, Del. I'll wear it happily as long as I possibly can. Thank you!!
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry while reading about Dotty, but once I saw the finished product, I cheered for you! It's beautiful and flattering and it looks fabulous on you! Yay, you did it! So happy for you!
Haha! I had similar reactions throughout this process, especially those darts! Weren't they hysterical? And thank you very much! I'm quite pleased with it, finally.
You are a more patient and persistent woman than I. The skewiff fish eye darts would probably have been the last straw for me. Del kindly gifted you the lovely fabric and the spots were an homage so I can see why you were so determined and – look! – you now have a lovely dress.
My favourite of the fabrics you show are the navy blue with white birds but then I'm biased as I made a dress with something very similar recently. I'd start with a pair of trousers/pants to go with the top you're already making with that and at least you'll have one complete me made holiday outfit .
Not sure that patient is quite the right word … those problems really were self-inflicted. Sigh. And yes, those darts! Fortunately they were only pinned. 😉 But all's well that ends well!
I'm going to be working on the bird top today (it's so very sheer, will need a cami) and then looking for a trousers pattern. Have you any ideas for a simple pattern?
Thank you, I've been considering this one! It doesn't seem too complicated and I gather there is help in the sew-along for those whose waistline doesn't nip in like the pattern drawing. My top is moving along now (have I actually lost some weight since making my muslin-it seems enormous), so the trousers shouldn't be far behind.
Thank you!! It's so very comfy, thinking it really will get a lot of wear. And I by george, I did win the battle. Hooray!
Well done for persevering – looking GOOD!
Thank you! It shouldn't have been such a struggle (a very simple pattern), but there you have it. And now it's on to vacation sewing!!
You have got a great result after all of your efforts. Enjoy wearing Dotty!
I did enjoy your experience, probably way more than you did! You are very clever and creative in problem solving, that's for sure. Where would I begin? I wouldn't. When I got a teaching job, I vowed I would never make another item of clothing for me OR for my children. The two skirts I made for friends' daughters the last few years convinced me I need to stick with that vow! LOL But I wish you the best of luck with your wardrobe efforts, and I hope they are easier now that you made that lovely dress.

Stress from the election remains heavy on Americans minds
By: Bo Evans
If you thought your 2020 stress would magically disappear after the yelling stopped, you might have been surprised to find that you were still worried after the results of the presidential election.
"For the majority of people, the stress actually didn't decrease," said Vaile Wright, a psychiatrist and also a member of the American Psychiatrist Association. The group recently released some numbers that might explain your extra high heart rate.
According to the survey by the APA, 17% of Americans did have their stress go down. However, almost 30% said their stress increased.
And it's not a party issue. Over 80% of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents all listed the future of our nation as a significant source of stress
"It's not just whatever side won, it happens to be everybody right now really being concerned about the future of the nation," said Wright.
And three-fourths of Americans are still seriously stressed about the pandemic
"We've seen increased levels of stress related to the federal response around the pandemic and that really does come down to the inconsistent messaging that we're seeing. Different people are disproportionately affected by the pandemic specifically, but I don't think anyone is related to the stress of it, especially as the numbers continue to climb," said Wright.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Vaile says that there are some things happening that may help lower your blood pressure.
"If we can hear some more good news, health news, like effective vaccines move to the market. The more that we have information that's clear and consistent, that's science based and that comes from reputable sources, I think those are the kinds of things that can reduce stress," said Wright.
Better coronavirus news combined with the possibility that President-elect Joe Biden can do a better job uniting the country can give Americans something to hope for as we head into 2021.

Secretary of Energy Discussed Natural Gas Emissions, Safety, and Exports
On August 26, 2013, United States Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz discussed the Obama Administration's June 25, 2013, Climate Action Plan at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy. Dr. Moniz called natural gas a "bridge to the future," as it has helped the United States reduce its carbon emissions. The Secretary noted that the reduced price of natural gas has decreased carbon emissions because some power plants have switched to burning natural gas to generate electricity.
Dr. Moniz stated that all of the safety issues related to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas had "clear solutions" and were "manageable." Additionally, the Secretary called for the "consistent application of best standards through regulatory and other approaches" to manage those safety concerns. The Secretary did note his concern that unconventional gas production was becoming increasingly vulnerable to the decreasing availability of water in some areas of the United States.
Lastly, Dr. Moniz discussed the natural gas export licensure process, which differs depending on whether an importing country is in a free trade agreement with the United States. The Secretary further stated that the application process is a public process where each application is evaluated for its impact on the public interest and economy.

School district officials confirm two students from James Logan High died early Sunday morning when their car collided with a pickup on southbound 880 in Hayward.
HAYWARD, Calif. (KGO) -- School district officials confirm two students from James Logan High died early Sunday morning when their car collided with a pickup on southbound 880 in Hayward.
On Sunday night, hundreds of people joined a candlelight vigil for senior Izaiah Mease and Joe Junior Ioramo, an 11th grade independent studies student, who both died in the car crash. A third student was also in the car and is in the hospital.
Mease, the driver, died at the scene. He was a running back and linebacker for the Logan football team.
"If I had a daughter, he is the type of young man I would like her to be with. He is everything you can ask from a young man, respectful, honest, hardworking," said Zac McNally, James Logan High football coach.
Brar says he will do all he can to help students deal with their grief when they return to school on Tuesday. "They were very well known on our campus. Absolutely involved in every core curricular, extra curricular and academic activity. and It's a big loss for us," said Principal Brar.
The principal says, even though this is a tough time, he encourages parents to send their kids to school on Tuesday.
"I think it's important. Students with peers need to see one another, be with each other, even if it just to say hi and hug and cry together," said Brar.
The CHP is still investigating the cause of the crash.


"Every Friday is Good Friday!" at the Christian Family's® Great American Holy Land®. Each week, the faithful flock for miles to witness the crucifixion of a life-like android Jesus. But when the star attraction becomes self-aware, the park's celebrity founders believe they've inadvertently commissioned the creation of the Anti-Christ.


The Secretary-General has learned with deep regret that another bombing has occurred in Jerusalem, causing loss of life and further human suffering. He condemns such acts, which have the obvious purpose of derailing the peace process. Those who espouse terrorism and violence must not be allowed to stand in the way of the pursuit of peace that for too long has eluded the Israeli and Palestinian people.

The fragile ecosystem in Buvuma Island could be destroyed by oil palm growing
The Vegetable Oil Development Project 2 (VODP) has expanded oil palm plantation in Buvuma Island, after replace thousands of hectares of tropical forests in Kalangala Island with oil palm trees. NAPE is concerned that the fragile ecosystem in Buvuma Islands which is also rich in biodiversity could be destroyed by oil palm growing. NAPE demands that VODP ensure that their operations are conducted in an environmentally conscious manner, and conserve and promote the sustainability of the landscape ecosystem in Buvuma Islands. NAPE does not wish the oil palm project to become a threat to the ecosystem as has been the case in Kalangala Island where thousands of hectares of natural tropical forests were destroyed, and buffer zones that trap and filter agrochemicals from the oil Palm fields were also encroached on. NAPE also desire that the project adheres to the principles of free prior informed consent, respect of human and environmental rights.
NAPE is implementing a project aimed at securing a healthy ecosystem that supports improved community livelihoods", is working on safeguarding the fragile eco systems in Buvuma, which she said is rich with biodiversity, but currently threatened by oil palm expansions. Through the project, NAPE is using lobby and advocacy to engage various landscape stakeholders such as National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), National Forestry Authority (NFA), Bidco and communities to conserve the forests, forest reserves, protect buffer zones on the landscape, and improve food security and land tenure among the communities of Buvuma Island.
The Vegetable Oil Development Project 2 (VODP) plans to replicate the project in the districts of Mayuge (including Bugiri and Namayingo), Masaka-Kyotera and Mukono-Buikwe, as well as establishing oil palm trials in many parts of the country.
The Women Movement Causing Positive Changes is the lives of Grassroot Women in Uganda
Given that women face many socio-economic and Environmental injustices - domestic violence, democratic access to land and land-based resources, discriminatory cultural practices and norms, gender-blind laws and regulations that do not protect women's rights; organizing and mobilizing women to build collective power to challenge the status quo is the solution.
Women Movement's feminist School, therefore, was a perfect space that provided popular education for the women to learn together, build knowledge together, deepen their understanding of the dynamics of the current extractive development models together, plan together, crafts eco-feminist actions and strategies that responds to their needs as women together so that in solidarity with one voice to fight for their rights.
The Rural Women's Movement (WM) is an initiative of grassroots women that fights for women's rights, Energy, climate and Environmental justice in Uganda in particular, and in Africa in general. The women's movement has a goal of building eco-feminist perspective of development alternatives.
Women's organizing has come in the backdrop of the current foreign-driven investment models that prioritizes profits over people's lives, especially women. These foreign investments have resulted into untold suffering to communities, and women are facing a lot of injustices including physical violence like rape, Kidnap, murder, loss of productive land to sustain their families among others in different regions of Africa, but they have kept silent about these injustices due to fear of being victimized and thought to be disrespectful to cultural norms. In the worst-case scenarios, they are miscommunicated from their communities for going against the cultural norms.
Sostine Namanya, the Gender officer at National Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE), who were co-organizers of the Feminist School said that women must stand-up and challenge these injustices and improve their lives through eco-feminist approaches that can enable them realize the changes they desire.
The women's movement is running a campaign code named "The Women building power" which is a women's campaign to fight for Justice, climate and Energy challenges, but the way the campaign is implemented should not cause harm to women because "there is nothing for us without us", hence women should learn to say NO to injustices" says Namanya.
The Movement aims at working towards developing women's activism capacity and ensuring women's power in their homes, possessing equal rights, and ensuring women's rights over their bodies, feminist solutions to changing women's thinking because women represent most obvious groups in their communities.
Donna Andrews, from the WOMIN, an African Women's Alliance against Destructive Extractivism said that women's issues should be handled keenly thus "enough is enough", women should learn to resist from injustices by uniting in sisterhood, inclusiveness, standing for each other through solidarity and influencing decision making.
Decisively, women play a vital role in the management of natural resources, yet they lack access to enough food, equal rights, and clean health, a situation which has worsened due to Government development programmes.
Apart from other key injustices women face, physical violence, land- grabbing and lack of adequate compensation are common in areas that are rich in variable minerals like Oil, Diamond and Gold.
Men are given priority to append signature to consent to land sell-off yet at times the plots are jointly owned or belong to the women.
She Applauded the Women's Movement because women can now advocate for their land ownership rights, for instance women from the Albertine Graben, due to the solidarity and confidence building that has strengthened women's leadership kills in different fields.
In 2006, when Uganda confirmed the existence of commercially viable petroleum reserves in the Western Rift Valley around Lake Albert areas of Waranga 1, Waranga 2, and Mputa, women faced many injustices ranging from lack of compensation, rejection by husbands and neglect. But now women can stand up and their voices are heard.
According to Alice Kazimura, the Executive Director of Kakindo Orphans' care in Buliisa, such movements empower women to know their land and compensation rights which weren't the case before initiation of these important movements.
"Women in Buliisa can now fight to acquire their compensation money themselves and challenge men who make decisions to sign for pieces of land belonging to women" says Kazimura.
Buliisa is one of the areas where women have previously suffered injustices related to loss of land- ownership rights and inadequate compensation for their land that was taken over by the company that constructed the Central Processing Facility (CPF) for Crude oil to store crude oil waste.
"The women affected by the Oil Refinery Project capacity has resisted the inadequate composition rates that they were being offered, until the rates were revised for 2018/2019, thanks to the Women Movement that built and strengthened women's capacity to resist oppressive laws and regulations that do not protect women's rights", says Abigaba Esther a victim affected by the Oil refinery project.
National Association for professional Environmentalists (NAPE) is one of these non-Governmental organizations that advocates for the rights of women in collaboration with the Women Movements to Amplifying Voices of Women in the Oil Debates in liaison with other local,, regional and international partners.

Legislators from Buliisa Hail NAPE for Supporting Women to Promote Indigenous Seeds for Food Security
On 8th March every year, Uganda joins the rest of the world to celebrate International Women's day. This year's theme was, 'Empowerment of Rural Women and Girls: Challenges and Opportunities'. The National celebrations were held in Mityana district.
Buliisa district celebrated the women's Day on 16th March, 2018 at Kihungya Primary School playground in Kihungya Sub-county, Buliisa. Hon Monica Amoding, the Woman Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumi district presided over the celebrations that was organized by Buliisa District. A number of MPs attended the celebrations including: Hon. Norah Bigirwa. the Buliisa District Woman MP and host, Hon. Mukitale Birahwam MP for Buliisa, Hon Akello Silvia for Otuke district, Hon. Kisembo Basemera Noeline, MP Kibaale district, Hon. Kahunde Hellen Kiryandogo district, Hon. Barnabas and Tinkasimire, MP for Buyaga county. The Local Council 1V Chair Person, Mr. Simon Kinene and the Buliisa Resident District Commissioner, Mr. Peter Bisoborwa also attended the function.
Buliisa Small-Scale Farmers, under their Umbrella Group, "Tulime Hamwe Mbibo Zikadde Buliisa" Women's Group in partnership with National Association of Professional Environmentalists (NAPE), carried out exhibition of indigenous seed varieties and traditional methods of traditional seed storage. During the celebrations, the women demonstrated traditional means of seeds preservation, which involves wrapping of seeds in dry grass and hanged the wrapped seeds on a pole to protect it from pest's attack and diseases and increase its shelf-life.
They also exhibited indigenous seed varieties that were almost getting extinct, such as sorghum, beans, cassava, pumpkins, Bambaranuts (also known as in local Kinyoro Endemesa dialect), local green vegetables among others, and their import values. The women demonstrated and explained the importance of these various seeds varieties, and their important role of enhancing better nutrition and working as medicine. These traditional foods are also used during traditional cultural ceremonies, and most importantly they ensure food security in times of food shortage for example drying sweet potatoes.
The women also told their guests that these indigenous seeds varieties when planted in appropriate seasons, they produce better yields and can withstand harsh weather conditions and are not easily affected by pests like conventional and hybrid seeds which is common on the markets today.
"Women are the custodians of seeds", and since time immemorial women have played the central role of the conservation of traditional food systems and ensuring food security in their families", Kagole Margret, a member of the women's group explained to the guests and MPs while visiting their stalls.
While addressing the show-gowers, members of Parliament from Buliisa hailed NAPE for supporting women in promoting indigenous seeds varieties and pledged to continue supporting NAPE's activities in the area.
"You should always keep seeds for the next season. Do not wait for government to provide you with seeds. I therefore want to thank NAPE for promoting indigenous seeds varieties, medicine etc..," said Hon. Steven Birahwa Mukitale, Bulisa County MP.
The Bulisa Woman MP, Hon. Norah Bigirwa appreciated the contribution of civil society organizations, especially NAPE, in empowering women and said these efforts contribute to her dream of empowering Bulisa women to benefit from the oil sector.
"In Bulisa, we want to appreciate local content concept including traditional seeds, and we say NO to GMOs! That's why I appreciate the efforts of NAPE for this initiative of promoting indigenous seeds. I pledge my commitment to support these women," she said.
With support from European Union (EU) and the Open Initiative for Eastern Africa(OSIEA), NAPE has been implementing a project aimed at Strengthening Community Cultural Governance Systems to defend and Protect their food, land and Natural Heritage in Hoima and Bulisa districts of western Uganda. The project, supports community efforts of small-holder farmers, especially women to enhance their indigenous knowledge of seed and associated culture to be food secure and safeguard biodiversity for future generation.
Dennis Tabaro Natukunda, the Senior Programs Officer at NAPE who also heads the project says the traditional seed varieties are intertwined in cultural heritage because they are used by the clan elders when performing traditional practices in their clan traditional ceremonies.
NAPE uses traditional community dialogue as an approach, which involves the identification and involvement of elders who have knowledge of sustainable solutions to the current conflicts on land, food and ecosystems.
During these dialogues, the elders (custodians) of knowledge meet with the young generations and small-holder farmers to synergize on weaving the basket of knowledge, especially on the role of seeds in performing rituals and ceremonies in cultural sites and their attachment to the protection of ecosystems.

International Women's Day: NAPE Launched a Report on Impacts of Large-Rush on Women's rights
On International Women's Day, NAPE stood with its partners, Womankind, the National Association for Women's Action in Development and a growing movement of rural women in Uganda who are coming together to document and resist the land grabs that are making way for mining and large scale agriculture.
Our new joint report, Digging Deep: the impact of Uganda's land rush on women's rights is launched today, please find it here:
Using feminist participatory research, NAWAD and NAPE trained 35 rural women in research methods, who in turn interviewed over 350 women in five areas affected by oil plants and industrial activity in Uganda. The results are shocking:
Women report being violently evicted from their homes and land to make way for oil plants and factories;
Women's voices are not heard in any negotiations about compensation or resettlement;
Women have lost their livelihoods – they can no longer grow crops or tend to animals which provided food for their families;
Women are experiencing sexual and physical violence whilst being evicted, and by men coming to work in the new industrial plants.
The report brings the voices of Ugandan women affected by corporate land grabs to the fore. Their demands are clear:
Women's voices must be heard in every stage of decision making on land.
Corporations need to fulfil their obligations to the human rights of women and local communities.
Compensation for all lost land must be fair, transparent and equal, and women must be compensated directly.
All forms of violence against women and girls must stop immediately
Please read and share the report and join the movement.
In solidarity on International Women's Day,
Government of Ethiopia warns Riparian states over River Nile waters
Ethiopian president Mulatu Teshome has warned countries sharing the River Nile of the tough times ahead as urbanisation and populations rapidly grow, hence putting enormous pressure on the waters amid climate change.
Nile Basin cooperation is not an option and managing a common pooled resource is not an easy undertaking," Dr Teshome said.
He added: "We should be having a basin-wide planning perspective to synergise and make good use of water when it is getting scarcer per-capita."
Projections indicate that demand for energy, food and freshwater will increase significantly over the next decades under the pressure of, among others, population growth, economic development and other factors. Currently, agriculture uses 80 per cent of the Nile waters.
