Disappears reminisce on love, death and plugging into Sonic Youth's amps
Chicago's foremost minimalist rockers speak.
'Replicate'
It's hard to think of any truly accurate analogues for Disappears' sound – a brand of rock 'n roll as precise, pared-down and punishing as techno – though when pushed, the no wave minimalism of Factory Floor comes to mind.
The Chicago four-piece – who currently count Sonic Youth sticksman Steve Shelley in their ranks – have just released their third album, Pre Language, through Kranky. Recorded at Sonic Youth's fabled Echo Canyon studio, it's their most robust and engrossing full-length statement to date. As they prepared to head out on an extensive European tour – which includes a show at London's Corsica Studios this Thursday, 29 March – Disappears' Brian Case sat down to tell FACT's Trilby Foxx a little more about the record's conception, and the band's plans for the remainder of 2012.
"We've always gone for a minimalist approach to rock music."
How would you describe Disappears' evolution over the last three years?
"We've always gone for a minimalist approach to rock music, adhering to some aesthetic principles for a larger goal. Our first album was much more in the discovery phase of learning how to strip things away and pare down the songs to their most basic and essential elements. Album two [2011's Guider] was the end result of that whole process, really getting the songs down to one idea, pretty raw. Our latest, Pre Language, is our evolution of those ideas – how do we make the same thing happen in a song in different ways? How do we play with structure and perception? Lots of the songs on this one have the same parts played in different ways throughout the same song."
How did Steve Shelley come to join the band, and how has his presence impacted on the sound of the band at large?
"We met Steve through our friend Jeremy – he does monitors for Sonic Youth and plays in a great band called White/Light. He took Steve to see us play and he really dug it. Jeremy ended up organising this recording session with us, White/Light and Steve a few days before a Sonic tour started in Chicago. From there we kept in touch, emailing about the recordings and just talking about music. When our former drummer Graeme moved to Portland we asked Steve to join on a lark and he said yes. We were pretty surprised!
"His style is different from Graeme's but they have really similar taste in music so the references were the same, which helped. We started writing new songs at our first practice, it was nice to have him spin the older stuff his own way but also work on songs that didn't have any guides yet. Things changed but they were ready to, so it felt really natural."
"As you can imagine, plugging into Lee and Thurston's amps feels pretty amazing."
What was the experience of recording in Sonic Youth's Echo Canyon studio like? Was it markedly different to your sessions elsewhere?
"Our previous records were done entirely by ourselves. It definitely has its advantages and Graeme did a great job making those records – there's nothing like immersing yourself in a comfortable environment with people you trust and letting go for a few days. At Echo Canyon we had the ability to do that but with a few more hands – it wasn't as time-restrained or physically taxing. Also, as you can imagine, plugging into Lee and Thurston's amps feels pretty amazing. The bonus track on the Japanese version is a noise jam we did called 'Fake Diamond' because we hooked up two of those Maestro Phasers they used on 'Diamond Sea' and just made a bunch of drones. Steve was like, 'Uh guys….I've done this one before.' [laughs]"
Pre Language definitely feels like the most "muscular" Disappears album to date, in a sense the most produced but also the most live-sounding. Is this an assessment you agree with?
"Yeah definitely, we have no interest in making the same album twice or repeating ourselves. After making so much internally we really wanted some outside perspective on this one. I'd worked with [producer] John Congleton a lot in the past and knew he would be able to balance the things that were important to us and take some of the songs in new directions or out of our comfort range. He's a good friend and I trust him very much so it was an easy decision. We'd also been playing the songs a lot so we knew what we wanted from them – the first two albums were as much studio experiments as they were live documents."
Are there any particular lyrical themes you were trying to address on this record?
"Every album ends up revolving around a basic idea – Lux was about death, Guider about protection and Pre Languange ended up being about love. I was reading a lot of James Baldwin, Philip K Dick – stories with an idea of love at their core but not necessarily about being in love. I liked that perspective and it runs through the album in a nice way."
"I was reading a lot of James Baldwin, Philip K Dick – stories with an idea of love at their core but not necessarily about being in love."
Are you hungry to get back in the studio again or is your sole focus now on performing Pre Language's songs live?
"Oh yeah for sure – we're already doing one new one live and have a few others I'm anxious to get back to work on. We had a few days on our next tour set aside to record but they got filled up. I'm excited though – it's a new direction, still us but definitely different."
Anything else on the horizon for Disappears or its members?
"Everyone is really busy right now. The collaboration recordings that first brought us together are finally going to come out this fall – it's a really nice audio answer to the question of how we all met – and a record we're all really proud of. Jonathan and Damon have a band called E+ that just did some recording – it's very cool, gothy, early Siouxsie-style stuff. I'm doing a band called Acteurs with Jeremy from White/Light. It's real minimal, lots of arpeggiating synths and modular stuff, dubbed-out drum pads. Steve's doing his label Vampire Blues and is putting out albums by his other band Spectre Folk, Chris Lee and some SY archive stuff. He's also playing with Lee on his new solo album which just came out."

More opportunities for women in agriculture as Practical Training Fund is extended
More women and girls living and working in Scottish agriculture will be able to apply for funding for courses to help develop their skills after further financial backing was given to the scheme.
Eligible courses include support to get tractor and trailer driving certificates or help to train sheepdogs.
The Practical Training Fund, which was launched earlier this year and is administered by Lantra Scotland, has already supported more than 400 women and girls to undertake courses to develop their skillset or change careers.
From today, women and girls over the age of 13 can apply for up to £500, or more on a case by case basis, for the cost of a practical or technical training course through the fund, with the first batch of successful applicants being notified by the end of January 2022.
It has been supported by another £75,000 of Scottish Government funding, with £20,000 of the funding ring-fenced for applicants living in island communities.
Rural Affairs Secretary Mairi Gougeon said: "This year, we have committed £300,000 to support women in agriculture, including: the wider roll-out of the personal development training programme Be Your Best Self; a project to test innovative solutions for childcare in rural areas and the development of Skillseeder – a skills sharing app which provides an easy to use one-stop shop to find training and skills development opportunities across the country, particularly for those in rural and island areas.
"We want to see more women joining those who are already developing a career in Scottish agriculture – which is why it's important that women are given these opportunities in what has been a very male-dominated industry.
"Throughout this year, we've heard from women and girls who have undertaken courses through the Practical Training Fund and said that they have more confidence and are more knowledgeable, which is great to hear. I would encourage more women to visit the Lantra Scotland website and apply."

Venerable Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, IL will host the inaugural U.S. Senior Women's Open Championship July 12-15th.
Sixteen U.S. Women's Open Champions to Compete in Inaugural U.S. Senior Women's Open
By Glen Turk on	 June 22, 2018 Tournaments
The United States Golf Association (USGA) recently announced that 16 past U.S. Women's Open champions are among the 61 players who are fully exempt into the inaugural U.S. Senior Women's Open, scheduled for July 12-15, 2018 at Chicago Golf Club in Wheaton, Ill.
"We're thrilled by the response our USGA champions have had to this inaugural championship, and know Chicago Golf Club will provide an outstanding venue for fans to watch some of the game's greats tee it up on what will now be senior women's golf's grandest stage," said Mike Davis, USGA CEO. "The consistent growth in women's golf has been inspiring, and we hope this inaugural event is just one of many great new moments for this important segment of the game."
The U.S. Senior Women's Open is open to professional golfers, and amateurs with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 7.4 who are 50 years of age at the start of championship play.
Sectional qualifying was played over 18 holes at 17 sites across the United States between June 4-20. There were qualifying sites in 16 states, including two in California. The USGA accepted 462 entries from golfers in 39 states for the inaugural championship, including 73 from Florida.
Three-time U.S. Women's Open winner Hollis Stacy and 15 other champions – four of them two-time winners – are fully exempt from having to qualify for the championship. They are Amy Alcott (1980), Pat Bradley (1981), Jerilyn Britz (1979), Laura Davies (1987), Jane Geddes (1986), JoAnne Gunderson Carner (1971, 1976), Juli Inkster (1999, 2002), Betsy King (1989, 1990), Murle Lindstrom Breer (1962), Lauri Merten (1993), Liselotte Neumann (1988), Alison Nicholas (1997), Sandra Palmer (1975), Patty Sheehan (1992, 1994), Hollis Stacy (1977, 1978, 1984), and Jan Stephenson (1983).
There are also six U.S. Women's Open runners-up entered. They are: Helen Alfredsson (2008), Donna Andrews (1993), Tammie Green-Parker (1994), Rosie Jones (1984), Sally Little (1978, 1986), and Kris Tschetter (1996).
The inaugural U.S. Senior Women's Open Championship will be the 12th USGA championship conducted at Chicago Golf Club and the first Open championship played at the club in 107 years, since John J. McDermott became the first American-born player to win the U.S. Open in a three-man playoff against Mike Brady and George Simpson in 1911. The club also hosted the U.S. Open in 1897 and 1900. Chicago Golf Club has also hosted four U.S. Amateur Championships, one U.S. Women's Amateur and one U.S. Senior Amateur. It also hosted the Walker Cup Match in 1928 and 2005, both of which were won by the USA Team.
Online entries were accepted for the championship, beginning on March 7. Susan West of Tuscaloosa, Ala., whose application was received at 9:04 a.m. on March 7 and who will play in the sectional qualifier at Bent Creek Golf Club in Eden Prairie, Minn., was the first overall entrant. Pat Bradley, who won 31 times on the LPGA Tour, including six major championships, was the first exempt player to apply to play. Her 1981 U.S. Women's Open victory came at La Grange Country Club, less than 20 miles from Chicago Golf Club.
"I've had the Senior Women's Open on my calendar for 17 years, so to say I was excited to apply to play in this championship is an understatement," said Bradley. "It'll bring back some great memories to go back to the Chicago area and compete for an Open title."
Lynn Thompson, 60, of Cincinnati, Ohio, submitted her entry less than three minutes before the deadline of 5 p.m. EDT on May 23 and was the championship's last entrant.

ROYAL ST. GEORGE'S GOLF CLUB: SITE OF 2021 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
METRAUX CLAIMS HER FIRST SYMETRA TOUR WIN AT THE ISLAND RESORT CHAMPIONSHIP


ALMOST 50,000 crimes in Merseyside were classed "unsolvable" by police last year.
The figure represents roughly one-third of all crimes reported, none of which were subject to further investigation.
Merseyside police said the public expected them to dedicate officers' time to more serious crimes and cases where there was "potential for an offender to be brought to justice".
A force spokesman stressed cases involving violence, robberies, house burglaries, high-value or complex offences and hate crimes would not be screened out.
But critics today said the government should help the police tackle more incidents and restore public faith by red-ucing red tape and making more funds available.
Figures showed 49,717 crimes were "screened out" by police last year, effectively filed away after officers rated them "unsolvable".
That figure is slightly down from the 2005 figure of 52,048 crimes being declared unsolvable, but about 10,000 up on 2004.
A police statement said: "All crimes warrant further investigation, but there are many occasions where there is insuff-icient information or evidence available to continue with inquiries to detect the offender.
The Home Office said it did not encourage screening out of crime, saying it was up to police forces to determine which crimes got priority for investigation.

Students of Navrongo SHS take meals in shifts
On Mar 8, 2017 Last updated Mar 14, 2017
The over 2000 students of the Navrongo Senior High School in the Upper East Region, are compelled to take their meals on shift basis due to the lack of a dining hall.
The dining hall which was built since the establishment of the school in the 1960s has not been expanded to meet the growing number of students. The structure also looks dilapidated.
This compelled the school's authority, to re-programme the students to take their meals on shift basis, therefore affecting teaching and learning.
This was made known when the old students Association of the School, popularly called "Nabia", handed over the toilet, bathhouse and the Assembly Hall facilities it had renovated and constructed for the School at a ceremony held on the campus in Navrongo.
Whilst lauding the Students' Association for coming to the aid of the school, the headmistress, Mrs Francisca Yizura, appealed to the Government and other development partners to support the school by expanding and restructuring the dining hall infrastructure to help address the challenge of the growing population of the school.
She said but for the support of the Association, the students would have been continuing to engage in open defecation and bathing in the open.
The Headmistress mentioned the lack of staff and student accommodation as well as the lack of a fence wall for the school as some of the major challenges confronting teaching and learning.
She commended the leadership of the Association for organizing to ensure that they raised money promptly to support one student who had been selected to attend a programme in the United Kingdom.
The National President of the old students' Association, Alhaji Mohammed Haroon, said the Association decided to support the school with the facilities in response to the demand made by the headmistress.
The President, who is also the Regional Director of Education in charge of the Northern Region, said the School had been neglected for far too long by successive governments and appealed to the present Government to support it with infrastructure.
He challenged the students to follow the footsteps of the past students of the School who had excelled academically and were doing well in life, by taking their studies serious.
Alhaji Haroon also appealed to all past students of the School who had not yet joined the Association to do so to help contribute to the growth of the School and commended those who had over the years been contributing to the development of the School.
"Old Navascans are noted for their giving spirit and unity for development. I will therefore want to urge you all never to relent in your efforts at contributing your quota to the welfare of the School," he said.
The National President was accompanied by the Upper East and the Navrongo Chapters to perform the handing over ceremony of the projects.

What is the relation between Crime and Citizenship and Social Justice?
What is the relation between Crime and Citizenship and Social Justice? essay sample
Elucidating the meaning of citizenship in its social context, Reiner (2010) summarized it as "a reciprocity of rights against, and duties towards, the community" (p. 243). As community changes, so that these rights and duties are shaped as well, changing social views on the legitimacy of one or another behavior that should still be considered reciprocal.
From the historical perspective, however, the eternal existence of such balance is utopian by nature, since various groups within a single community would constantly seek for personal benefits violating personal duties and threatening rights of others. In the most general meaning, these violations are crimes, less or more severe, but still a subject for delivering doses of pain and justice when it deemed necessary (Degenhardt, 2015; Reiner, 2010).
Justice, however, is not seen equivocally by different social groups. Taking, for instance, a death of a significant other in a military operation, one would call offender's arrest as both criminal and social justice, while isolation and imprisonment of the whole family would rather be considered as social elsewhere. On the other hand, low-income families would see the social justice as having equal access to the same benefits high-income families have, while the latter would seek for social justice in restricting that to the former. In other words, social justice is a tool for regulation of crime and citizenship coexistence, which is seen differently through the prism of social norms by different communities. It is reasonable to consider claims of various social activist groups concerned with the above statement and evaluate them against the reasonability of social justice principles.
LGBT movements, for instance, stand for recognition of equal rights among LGBT and heterosexuals in demonstrating their romantic and sexual involvement publicly. Public expression here, however, has different meaning for adepts and opponents of the movement respectively, where the latter would likely to either consider this as an expression of sickness or, in more respectful way, at least prefer this would not be a part of their "normal" life. LGBT adepts, on the contrary, consider other than heterosexual expression as normal, considering that they should have equal rights in expression of feelings no matter what one's sexual orientation is. Social justice here is seen differently: while adepts are guided by common principles of equality, opponents seek for recognition of the "normality" of themselves and their families, thus seeing LGBT behavior as deviant and thus criminal. They would likely to also see it as an act against their rights as citizens, where accepted social norms should be guaranteed and advocated by criminal law.
Another social activist group with contradictory social envisioning is the one standing for legalization of cannabis consumption. Cannabis is legally considered as a drug in the majority of developed countries and thus prohibited from distribution and selling in non-medical setting. Simple possession of cannabis results into arrests, with more severe consequences for its distribution. Activists …

Anthony Simmonds-Gooding a former senior advertising executive with Saatchi & Saatchi and who from 1988 headed up British Satellite Broadcasting, the official licensee of the UK's 5-channel DBS satellite transmissions, passed away on October 20th. BSB used D-MAC (Multiplexed Analogue Components-type D) as its high-definition transmission system to a 'Squarial' receiving dish.
Simmonds-Gooding brought together the likes of Granada Television, Pearson, Virgin Group and Anglia TV (and Amstrad initially) to bid for, and subsequently win in December 1986, the 15-year broadcasting franchise granted by the British government.
Rupert Murdoch had also bid for the franchise but was unsuccessful, and went on to use Luxembourg-based satellite telecom frequencies from Astra to extend his existing Sky Channel to a re-launched 4-channel system, using Amstrad-built set-top boxes and transmitting in analogue PAL.
BSB launched on March 25th 1990, but Murdoch's Sky had launched 14 months earlier. The losses for both BSB and Sky were massive, and by November 1990 a merger deal (resulting in BSkyB) had been struck.
Following the merger redundancy notices were handed out to the BSB staff, and this included Simmonds-Gooding. He went on to rescue and reform the creative Design & Art Direction (D&AD) institution. He died, aged 80, following a short illness.


I was looking through iPhoto and kept stopping on cute photos of Pixie and saying "AWW!" out loud.. They aren't all recent, but I figured it would make a good post for the blog! Here are a few of my favs.
When I'm at the computer she is usually in my lap. She enjoys watching me play Everquest II.
Does your cat help you with spellcheck or gaming tips?
Great pictures of Pixie! I love that she sits and watches (and helps) you play games. My cat usually bites my wrist or my ankles when I'm playing games.

Drama is a fantastic way to teach children life skills. Students must have a world view before they step out of school and the school must play an important role in this training. Drama is the best way to promote this understanding of the world and life outside of the safe environment of the schools. It teaches you to talk, walk, interact, and essentially live a proactive life. We have various Drama Clubs in our school to which two periods per week is devoted to each of these clubs.
The English Drama Club is one of the most active clubs of the school, staging plays throughout the year and winning prizes in various inter school fests. The club is perfect for those who are keenly interested in dramatics and have a talent for it. Over the years, students under the able guidance of their teachers, have staged superb plays, which are comedy, thrillers as well as satires. The students have won prizes at the British Council Drama Competition, Patton One Act Play Competition, Smarak Kosh, and other inter-school fests. Apart from the much needed entertainment away from academics, this club provides the students theatrical knowledge and a platform to hone their histrionic skills. The club organizes Children's Inter School Theatre Festival every year.
The Bengali Drama and Cultural Club believes that in the midst of an English Babu's dress, there lies a dhoti-clad Bengali hidden within us. The club has always upheld the tradition of Bengali language, literature and culture. Whenever there has been any event, the members of the club have participated with great pomp and vigour.
The Hindi Drama Club works at multiple levels to promote and celebrate our national language. Every week, a topic based on Hindi language and literature is selected and then members are guided to put up a show or arrange a debate or prepare a project on it. The club also organizes an essay writing competition on Hindi Divas as well as other activities on important days of the calendar.


Investment Management - Broadhurst Financial Advisors, Inc. | Broadhurst Financial Advisors, Inc.
Successful investing is the cornerstone of reaching your financial goals. At Broadhurst Financial, we firmly believe that a passive, disciplined and low-cost approach, using exclusive investment managers, gives our clients distinct advantage.
Markets Work. Our core belief is that markets efficiently determine the appropriate value of stocks and bonds. This is the essence of the Efficient Markets Hypothesis: Markets assemble and evaluate information so effectively that the current price of a stock or bond is usually the best estimate of its intrinsic value. Therefore, attempting to consistently beat the average market index is usually futile—and always costly. Few professional asset managers outperform the markets in a given year, and it's impossible to identify them in advance.
Diversification Matters. Investors can reduce their potential for loss through diversification. The concept is simple: Holding only one stock in your portfolio makes you directly susceptible to its price changes. If its price plummets, so does your entire portfolio. Holding two stocks is preferable to one and, unless they both tank, the portfolio is still afloat. Now hold more than 15,000 stocks in your portfolio, and you have reduced risk significantly. The key to diversification is the age-old adage, "don't put all of your eggs in one basket."
Asset-Class Exposure Works. Investors can reduce risk by diversifying across broad asset classes. A simple example: A portfolio that holds just U.S. stocks is too risky; a portfolio composed solely of Japanese stocks is also too risky. Combining the asset classes into a 50/50 portfolio, however, results in lower risk with higher historical return. Our client portfolios incorporate between 10 and 15 asset classes to further minimize risk.
Some approach investing as a game; in fact, it's a science. And we believe the most respected science makes an indisputable case for passive investing. Efficient stock and bond markets are nearly impossible to beat, and investors are ill-served spending their resources in an attempt to do so.
In any given year, actively managed funds outperform the passive benchmarks only about 25% of the time, depending on the market sector. Over a 10-year period, the probability of outperforming the market is just 1 in 1,048,576.
Passive investing—investing based on holding investments within fixed indexes—allows patient investors to participate in the market's long-term growth. And it allows them to avoid the extra layer of costs associated with hiring "active" managers and paying for endless buy-and-sell transactions.
Not all passive investments are the same. Broadhurst is proud to be one of a select group of firms authorized to provide our clients with access to Dimensional Fund Advisors' highly respected passive funds.
DFA's funds are superior to typical index funds because of their proven ability to capture the pure return of specific asset classes while maintaining low costs and remaining tightly aligned with their investment objectives. DFA funds' reputation is due in part to their low costs: They are known for their low expenses, tax efficiency, minimal turnover and lack of marketing fees.
While we use DFA strategies as our primary investment solutions, we also use index funds, exchange-traded funds and alternative investments where appropriate in customizing client portfolios.
At Broadhurst Financial, we custom-design portfolios with the objective of helping clients preserve their wealth and enjoy long-term growth. Tailoring our portfolios to your specific goals, risk tolerance and time horizon, we create low-cost, globally diversified portfolios built around products we believe are the best available.
And by employing a passive approach, we not only position our clients to succeed, but also free them from the compulsive need to monitor the ups and downs of the markets. The bottom line: Our clients are free to focus on the what's really important to them, secure in the knowledge that their investments are at work.

Home Life style The Julian Assange I Met in 2010 Doesn't Exist Anymore
The Julian Assange I Met in 2010 Doesn't Exist Anymore
Back at my apartment, I remember that Assange told me and my girlfriend (now wife) what seemed like outrageous stories of his life. How he spent his childhood traveling Australia as part of his mother's theater troupe and visited Magnetic Island, which had strange properties that he implied influenced the minds of the people who lived there. He mentioned that he was part Chinese and that his last name derived from Ah Sang, an early ancestor.
It all seemed part of his mesmerizing performance, and then, a couple of months later, I saw those same details in a profile in The New Yorker, and I was further confused. Was the performance real or was reality a performance?
The Colbert interview was hardly clarifying concerning Assange's character; after all, Colbert himself was adopting the persona of a blowhard, right-wing commentator. WikiLeaks was in the news for decrypting and releasing a leaked video showing an attack by United States Army Apache helicopters in Baghdad three years earlier, which left 12 people dead, including two employees of the news agency Reuters. It had released an edited version of the encounter, which it titled "Collateral Murder," as well as an unedited one.
Even though Colbert and Assange are discussing a battlefield horror, there is a giddiness throughout the encounter. Everything is played for a joke—much as I thought at the time that Assange was (over)playing his roguish persona. Back then, it seems, what happened on the internet wasn't entirely real, at least not in the same way offline events could be.
Brian Stelter, now the host of CNN's "Reliable Sources," on Thursday shared the article we wrote together at The New York Times about "Collateral Murder" and marveled at how understated the headline was: "Iraq Video Brings Notice to a Web Site."
Nine years later, everything seems much more grave. We now know that "a Web site" can foment genocide, spread propaganda, misshape our politics, destroy entire industries. WikiLeaks went from exposing to public light a potential wartime atrocity to putting its finger on the thumb during a US presidential election by releasing material targeted at one of the candidates.
The giddiness is gone. On Thursday, the Julian Assange hauled out of the Ecuadoran embassy in London—where he took refuge to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questions about sexual assault accusations, which he has denied—looked exhausted. With his haggard face and wild beard, he seemed a distorted reflection of the trim, controlled man I met in 2010.
Today, as Assange faces a federal charge in the United States of conspiring to hack into a Pentagon computer network in that year, we debate how the law should consider Assange. He has gone from charismatic provocateur to, in some people's eyes, a news publisher. Of course, being considered a publisher could be his ultimate provocation.
Colbert pushed Assange over WikiLeaks' role as a distributor of the leaks it collects, starting with its decision to edit the leaked video of the Apache attack and to give it such a conclusory title. "That's not leaking that's a pure editorial," Colbert said. Which gave Assange the opportunity to explain his philosophy: "The promise we make to our sources, is that not only will we defend them with every means that we have available, technological, and legally, and politically, but we will try to get the maximum possible political impact for the material they give to us."
That hardly seems like a journalistic standard—it is a standard that fosters leaking, I suppose, and the controversy those leaks are intended to produce. You might even describe it as anarchic. Certainly, the events that followed at WikiLeaks make more sense in light of Assange's explanation.
Tongue fully in cheek, Colbert complains about WikiLeaks: "If we don't know what the government is doing, we can't be sad about it. Why are you trying to make me sad? Yes, you are trying to bum us out about the world."
Assange responds with a peculiar smile, "Just an interim state, Stephen, you'll be happier later on."

Q: When running "play" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError occurs I am trying to run a clone of the play project that I got from git clone https://github.com/djonmayer/play21-osm.git
I have play version 2.2.2 and scala version 2.10.4 installed.
When I type play in the directory that the project clones to I get the following error:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scala.Predef$.augmentString(Ljava/lang/String;)Lscala/collection/immutable/StringOps;

Error during sbt execution: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: scala.Predef$.augmentString(Ljava/lang/String;)Lscala/collection/immutable/StringOps;

This is true if I run play clean. I have read this may be a dependencies issue so I have tried adding the line scalaVersion := "2.10.4" to the play.Project.settings section of Build.scala and separately in a build.sbt file. It didn't work.

A: I tried to put this in a comment but it was unreadable.
Thanks, zeppaman. It does look like this issue is to do with running a Play Framework project that was created in  an older version of Play. By looking at another project that had commits for upgrading to a new play version I made the following changes.
In build.properties:
sbt.version=0.12.2

became:
sbt.version=0.13.0

In plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.1.1")

became:
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.2.2")

This enabled me to get to play update then throws the errors:
[error] Modules were resolved with conflicting cross-version suffixes in {file:/Users/michaelrichardson/Documents/Play/play21-osm/}play21-osm:

[error] (*:update) Conflicting cross-version suffixes in: org.scala-stm:scala-stm

I change the line in Build.scala:
    "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "0.3.2"

became:
    "com.typesafe.play" %% "play-slick" % "0.5.0.2-SNAPSHOT"

EXTRA: This changes the error to:

UPDATE: Solved unresolved dependency
The problem of unresolved dependencies seems like it may have been due to my local sbt/ivy repositories getting corrupted. See unresolved dependency: com.typesafe.play#play-slick_2.10;0.6.0.1: not found

A: This kind of problem is often relate to two similar prolbem:

*

*missing jar with same class

*same class into multiple jar

So check if scala and play version are compatible and if You have included a jar that already contains the class with missing method.

Sei in: Cooperation > IZSAM and Africa > SILAB for Africa Project
SILAB for Africa (SILABFA) is an information system to support laboratory diagnostic activities (Laboratory Information Managements Systems - LIMS). The web application is developed and maintained by the IT staff of IZSAM, for the laboratories of African countries. The prototype was first presented in April 2009 at the Diagnostic Meeting of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in Windhoek, Namibia.
SILABFA is a LIMS, supporting the diagnostic activity, which is important for facilitating the laboratory accreditation process, carrying out epidemiological surveillance activities and quickly notifying outbreaks.
SILABFA allows veterinary laboratories to trace samples from acceptance to test reports, facilitating the connection between diagnostic results and the response in the field through the transition from paper systems to computerized systems.
SILABFA is innovative in the way it has been adapted to the needs of African veterinary laboratories and allows interoperability with external systems, standardization of diagnostic activities and harmonization of test reports. In some countries SILABFA has been connected with the identification and tracking system of farms and animals, in others with the FAO EMAI system which collects sampling data in case of suspicion, in other cases the standardized data of the results of the Antibiotic -resistance, they are automatically extracted and prepared to be sent to external national systems. In addition, an app has been developed in English, French and Italian to guide the correct collection of material from animals in the field.
Such a successfully implemented LIMS improves data accuracy, increasing the productivity of the laboratory and its overall effectiveness. SILABFA allows to organize all information relevant to the laboratory, rapid data retrieval and drafting of reports. It also makes it possible to make data accessible to others, thus promoting collaboration between departments. Over the years, this software has led to a significant improvement in the diagnostic and alert capabilities of African laboratories, helping to make diagnostic activities more efficient and strengthening the capabilities of epidemiological surveillance and alert laboratories.
Since 2010, IZSAM has dedicated substantial economic and human resources to the SILABFA project, implementing the information system in the first African laboratories.
In November 2011, the Southern African Development Community recognized SILABFA as the preferred LIMS for SADC countries and other African countries requested its installation.
In 2013, FAO began funding the project to extend the use of SILABFA in many African countries through funds made available by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Fleming Funds. This support continues today with the belief that a more widespread development of LIMS in laboratories throughout the region and the continent would greatly benefit the general management and information flow of individual laboratories, as well as the quality of the information collected. By managing a common LIMS system in most countries of the continent, the diagnostic activities of national veterinary laboratories will have the opportunity to strengthen the laboratory capacity for epidemiological surveillance and alarm at regional and national level: an approach, this, in in line with the Regional Laboratory Networking that FAO supports in Africa.
At the end of 2021, 18 African countries are using SILABFA in 45 laboratories, some in the "light" version called SLIMS.
Still under the aegis of FAO, in 2022, SILABFA was adopted by the first 2 Asian countries (Bangladesh and Cambodia) in 4 laboratories in total. Starting from this first experience, the extension to the regional level is being planned.
New scientific collaborations between IZSAM and Tunisia
On Wednesday, 8 September 2021, a press conference was held in Teramo, to illustrate the ongoing and new scientific collaborations between IZSAM and Tunisia to face present and future emergencies in a OneHealth perspective.


Don't let the waste tyre pyrolysis plant cost dissuade you from looking more closely at this type of investment. There are many businesses out there realizing that they can capitalize off of such a recycling effort. You are looking to put those old tires to use consistently, and a recycling plant that converts them to pyrolysis oil and more could just be the solution you seek.
Maybe you aren't quite familiar with the products that a waste tire pyrolysis equipment produces. There are some quality products that your plant will be making, and you can generally count on it to run itself. When you are able to produce those products, you will see opportunities for profits. And one of the products you will be producing can power your pyrolysis plant as well.
You are certainly wondering what this type of plant is going to cost you. Unfortunately, I'm not able to give you a direct price range because that isn't how this process works. The pyrolysis plant manufacturers need to ask you about capacity and other aspects of the machine and setup, and they will provide you with those quotes.
That's not to say that somewhere out there that there isn't a person who can tell you a ballpark figure. After all, there are plenty of companies that have made this purchase. If you were able to talk to one of those owners, you could ask the person what be or she paid to have a pyrolysis plant installed. In that case, you could also ask about maintenance and profit outlook.
You are supposed to be able to count on a plant that doesn't require a ton of maintenance. That should put your mind at ease about upkeep. You can also enjoy the fact that the products produced as mentioned are supposed to help generate profits. Chiefly, those waste tires are going to avoid the landfill. Do you have waste plastic, too?
There are waste plastic pyrolysis plants as well. You are looking into tyre to oil plant cost, and so I figured I might as well mention that waste plastic can go through the pyrolysis process as well. When it comes to that process, you produce an oil that can be converted to fuel, and you also produce hydrocarbon gas.
There are all kinds of interesting things to learn about the pyrolysis machines out there. You're going to be making a huge recycling effort, and it all starts with those waste tires. If you are ready to take a closer look, the pyrolysis plant manufacturers are prepared to speak with you about which machine is best and offer you a quote.
The price of the pyrolysis plant is only part of what you need to figure out right now. You are going to be determining what to do with the products and whether or not you need any other machinery or scrap tyre recycling plant. You're wanting this recycling mission to turn out right, and that is going to require that you approach the purchase of this machine from all angles.

Defender Completes Arsenal Medical Ahead Of Move As Gunners Open Schneiderlin Talks
Arsenal are set to wrap up the £16m signing of Calum Chambers while Arsene Wenger has also opened talks with Southampton over a deal for Morgan Schneiderlin
Gooner Mac
The summer transfer window is now open for business and it's expected to be a busy few weeks as managers strengthen their squads ahead of next season, so we'll bring you all the latest news and gossip. Today, Gooner Mac brings us news on Calum Chambers.
Image: Sky Sports
Arsenal are set to wrap up the signing of Calum Chambers for a fee in the region of £16m while we've also opened talks with Southampton over a potential deal for Morgan Schneiderlin, according to the BBC.
We were linked with a move for Chambers earlier in the summer when Arsene Wenger was on the look-out for a replacement for Bacary Sagna but most assumed our interest ended when we signed Mathieu Debuchy.
However, the BBC are reporting that Arsenal are now closing in on a deal for the 19-year-old defender and it's believed he underwent a medical on Friday after we agreed a fee worth in the region of £16m with Southampton.
It's certainly an intriguing signing and it will be interesting to see where Wenger plans to play Chambers. He's made 25 appearances for the Saints with the vast majority coming as a right-back, but he's also capable of playing as a centre-back.
Obviously the future of Carl Jenkinson has been cast in doubt following this signing and the newspapers seem to think he'll head out on loan to get some regular action. That may well turn out to be the case but I'm wondering whether Wenger plans to keep both Chambers and Jenkinson and use them as cover for right-back and centre-back.
Jenkinson has said in the past that his favoured position is in the middle of defence, so perhaps the boss will decide to use him as our fourth-choice centre-back this season with Chambers acting as cover for Debuchy?
Either way, Chambers will be an excellent addition for the future and he could be joined at the Emirates by Southampton team-mate Morgan Schneiderlin as the BBC have confirmed that we've also made a formal enquiry about the midfielders availability.
Schneiderlin has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates this summer as we look for a long-term replacement for Mikel Arteta and it seems we've now stepped up our interest in the 24-year-old.

We'll have to see if we can agree a deal for the French international but I hope we do as he'd be an excellent addition to the squad and act as the perfect defensive foil for the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere next season.

Q: How to get all IPtables rules I'm trying to see a list of all the rules in IPtables in a Debian 7 server.
when I try:
iptables -L -n

I only get one rule (which I entered 5 minutes ago).
I have many others, for port 80, mysql and others which all work, but I can't see them anywhere.
Any idea how could that be done?
Thanks

A: Netfilter encourages to use iptables-save command since it will provide you a detailed view of your built-in chains and those you've defined yourself. If you want to get a human readable view you can use  iptables -L -v -n --line-n

A: Your command only lists the default filter table.  There are a total of five tables: filter, nat, mangle, raw and security.  These can be selected using the -t option:
iptables -t nat -L -n

A: This is an alias I put in my ~/.bashrc (fw means "firewall" which is descriptive enough for me, change it if you'd like):
Set up /etc/sudoers to allow you to run the iptables command with no password or only run it as root.
alias fw='clear ; sudo iptables --line-numbers -nvL ; echo ; echo '\''nat:'\'' ; echo ; sudo iptables -t nat --line-numbers -nvL ; echo ; echo '\''mangle:'\'' ; echo ; sudo iptables --line-numbers -t mangle -nvL'

About the seminar
Stobart will share his experiences from the Assessment Reform Group and work with «Assessment for Learning» in the UK, while PhD students from the CLEG research group will address aspects of their research that are relevant to Stobart's presentation. Both parts of the session will be open and there will be chances for participators to ask questions and engage in plenum discussions.
Stobart is a Professor emeritus at the Institute of Education in London and a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment. After working eight years as a secondary school teacher he retrained as an Educational Psychologist and moved into educational research after conducting his doctoral studies in the United States as a Fulbright Scholar. He is a former editor (2003-2008) of the journal Assessment in Education and currently serves on its executive board. In his most recent book Testing Times – the uses and abuses of assessment (2008) Stobart addresses the multiple purposes and inappropriate uses of assessments and tests.
Stobart is a founding member of the Assessment Reform Group (ARG) in the United Kingdom, which was disbanded in 2010 having been at the forefront of challenging thinking and practice in relation to all aspects of assessment for more than 20 years. Its aim was to ensure that assessment policy and practice at all levels takes account of relevant research evidence. ARG included acknowledged UK scholars such as Paul Black, Dylan Wiliam, Patricia Broadfoot, John Gardner, Caroline Gipps, Wynne Harlen, Kathryn Ecclestone, Mary James, Richard Daugherty, Paul Newton and Jo-Anne Baird.

The Mainstream Media Calls Annissa Essaibi George Moderate; Even She Doesn't Buy It
By Tom Joyce | October 11, 2021, 17:51 EDT
Printed from: https://newbostonpost.com/2021/10/11/the-mainstream-media-calls-annissa-essaibi-george-moderate-even-she-doesnt-buy-it/
Is Boston mayoral candidate Annissa Essaibi George a political moderate?
It depends on who you ask.
The mainstream media frequently calls her one, but she doesn't like the label — and refutes it.
After the Democrat earned second place in the preliminary round, The New York Times put out a headline that read "Boston Mayor's Race Narrows to a Progressive Versus a Moderate"; Commonwealth Magazine dedicated an entire article to Essaibi George being the "moderate" candidate in the race back in June titled "In progressive field, Essaibi George stands out"; and NBC Boston said of the race: "Like it or not, the progressive vs. moderate narrative is already defining this race. Now, it's up to the candidates to define for Bostonians why their leadership would be best."
And yet, Essaibi George herself doesn't like the label.
On election night, she reportedly said, "It's lazy to simply label me as a moderate, as a centrist," according to NBC Boston.
She also rejected the moderate label in an interview with The Boston Herald the following week.
"The titles that I'm most proud to have and embrace are the titles of being a teacher, being a mother, being a small business owner, being a community member, being a city councilor," she said. "Those are the labels I'm proud of, that I'm happy to wear. And I hope to wear the title of mayor sometime soon because I'm ready to do the work. I think this labeling business is a little lazy."
In recent years, Essaibi George has issued endorsements to progressive Democrats when running for office.
Last year, she endorsed U.S. Senator Ed Markey (D-Malden) for re-election over then-U.S. Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III (D-Newton). While the two had little differences of opinion, the public perceived Markey as the more progressive candidate of the two, in part, because of his priorities. Markey was the original sponsor of the Green New Deal in the U.S. Senate; he earned the endorsement of U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and his commercials featured her on them; Ocasio-Cortez identifies as a democratic socialist. Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California), who is not a democratic socialist, endorsed Kennedy.
That same year, Essaibi George endorsed a progressive in the presidential primary: U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Cambridge); Warren ran on a platform similar to that of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), a self-described democratic socialist, as Vox points out.
In 2018, Essaibi George supported a member of The Squad primarying an incumbent Democrat for Congress. She endorsed then-city councilor Ayanna Pressley (D-Dorchester) over then-incumbent U.S. Representative Michael Capuano (D-Somerville) in a race where many news organizations labeled Pressley as the more progressive candidate.
Additionally, Essaibi George supports many policies backed by progressives in Massachusetts.
She signed onto the NARAL MA City Champion Pledge. That means she supports the ROE Act that legalized abortion after 24 weeks in cases of fatal fetal anomaly, eliminated parental consent for 16- and 17-year-old minors seeking an abortion, and removed the right to life-saving care for babies born alive after an attempted abortion.
The NARAL pledge requires that candidates support insurance coverage for abortion without cost-sharing or co-pays. It requires the candidate to oppose voter ID laws; "promote public awareness" and vocally oppose crisis pregnancy centers; and support "sexual health education that provides age-appropriate and medically accurate information, including consent, healthy relationships, all sexual orientations and gender identities, and the effective use of contraceptives."
NARAL supports "An Act Relative to Healthy Youth", a sex-ed bill that would require all public school districts in the state that teach sex education to use content approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education — which has, in the past, approved a curriculum that advised 12-year-olds to use saran wrap to protect themselves during oral-anal contact. The curriculum also offers advice to 12-year-olds on how to have anal sex.
Assaibi George also supports paid abortion leave for city employees, co-sponsoring an ordinance on the matter with fellow mayoral candidate Michelle Wu in the Boston City Council.
Essaibi George also filled out a questionnaire from Progressive Massachusetts that showed more of her ideology. While she didn't support rent control, cutting police funding, or letting 16-year-olds and noncitizens vote in municipal elections, there are other areas of agreement.
She said that she supported the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office's do-not-prosecute list. That includes trespassing, shoplifting, larceny under $250, wanton or malicious destruction of property, and disorderly conduct, among other offenses.
She said that she supports ending information sharing between the Boston Police Department and federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and that she supports barring members of the Boston Police Department from inquiring about people's immigration status. She also said that she thinks sympathizing with white supremacist organizations "is a problem" in the Boston Police Department.
On education, she said that she opposes charter school expansion and supports implementing a district-wide ethnic studies curriculum. Progressive Massachusetts said the ethnic studies program would be used "to inform our students about different global experiences involving race, ethnicity, class, gender, and sexual orientation, while encouraging students to critically think about the lived experiences of those around them."
Essaibi George's campaign could not be reached for comment on Monday.
The Boston mayoral general election is set for Tuesday, November 2.
