VJ DAY 75th Commemoration
The 15th August 2020 marks 75 years since Imperial Japan surrendered in World War II, in effect, finally bringing the war to an end. Legion Scotland, in partnership with Poppyscotland and the Scottish Government, plan to mark the important milestone with a virtual service of remembrance followed by a virtual tribute concert online.
As with VE Day in May this year, large scale gatherings are still not permitted and we must adhere to current Government Guidelines, however, we are committed to bringing the country together and ensuring that VJ Day 75 is still appropriately marked across the country, despite restrictions.
A virtual service of remembrance will be broadcast live from the Legion Scotland Facebook page on Saturday 15th August. The service will be conducted by Legion Scotland Padre Rev Dr Karen Campbell and will include a two minute silence at 1100. The service will then be followed at 12 noon with a virtual tribute concert.
All content broadcast on the 15th of August will provide a platform to share stories of the WW2 generation and to highlight their immense contribution and sacrifice. We will pay tribute not only to British forces but also the Allied and Commonwealth forces, without whom the defeat of Japan would not have been possible. We will be commemorating a truly multicultural effort which brought the war to an end.
Poppyscotland are once again providing digital learning resources as an excellent way for young people to engage in VJ Day activities. Produced in collaboration with Legion Scotland and the Scottish Government, the materials will be launched for the start of the first full week back to school, on the 17th of August. You can find out more about these by clicking here.
Finally, we want to hear about your plans for marking the 75th anniversary of VJ Day. Please share your stories, pictures and video either via our Facebook page or by email to [email protected].
If you are participating in, or planning any VJ Day events, please ensure you continue to observe Scottish Government guidelines

To be a carryover, we assume this appears to be like connected with the 2020 Vw Amarok to keep unrevised, when they have got considering it has the debut. We all anticipate them to go on with its somewhat common seeks this specific segment that include a good liftback to get loading cargo.
Inside, the following classic glimpse remains without the need of genuine signal it becomes an superior auto, apart from its gauges and great petrol economy. The 2020 Vw Amarok will possibly be quickly identifiable, while it is going to feature the same low-slung glimpse while using sharp nose plus understand that bumpers which often ran out regarding creation right after the past unit year. The key variations in features are all about a movement in the body. Though the first sort car lines have been more difficult lower, the 2020 Vw Amarok lines are definitely more rounded plus modern.
As a carryover, many of us count on your appears to be regarding the 2020 Vw Amarok to keep on being the same, as they quite simply include considering its debut. All of us count on the item to carry on with its rather classic searches for that section that are included with a helpful liftback regarding filling cargo.

It'll feature seating pertaining to 4 aggressively bolstered entrance seating, and also Firm's once massive touchscreen display system.

While it's engine's formal production seriously isn't consumer knowledge yet, Business does expose the particular auto's torque is going to to use all-around pair pound-feet, which in turn is completely preposterous and maybe imaginatively overstated. Security remains to be undiscovered at the moment, however it needs to have all of the most recent gadgets and gizmos with the Company. We assume the 2020 Vw Amarok powertrain to the same. This could provide the 1.6-liter website along with 104 power in addition to 109 pound-feet connected with torque coupled so that you can an electric powered generator that includes 43 horsepower plus 125 lb-ft with regard to a total process electric power involving 139 hp.

Lao Script for Mac is the result of a joint project between Marc Durdin (then working as Tavultesoft Pty. Ltd) and John Durdin to develop a solution for using Lao language on macOS computers. It uses Keyman input technology with keyboard layouts and fonts provided by Lao Script for Windows.
Lao Script for Mac includes both a Lao standard (typewriter-style) keyboard and a Lao phonetic entry keyboard, where the method of entry of each syllable uses a romanized phonetic transcription, e.g. sa bai dii, phaa saa laaw for ສະບາຍດີ, ພາສາລາວ.
User documentation and (optionally displayed) on-screen keyboards are included with the package.
A number of Lao Unicode OpenType fonts which have been optimized for use with macOS are installed with the package. Lao Script for Mac does not support the use of non-Unicode Lao fonts or text.
The display of Lao text by macOS automatically wraps the text at word or syllable boundaries, so insertion of hidden break characters (as done by Lao Script for Windows) is not required.
Lao Script for Mac can only be installed and used on macOS Yosemite (10.10) and later. It has been installed and used successfully on macOS versions ElCapitan (10.11) and Mojave (10.14) but there have been reports of difficulties with installation and use on Sierra (10.12) and High Sierra (10.13).
With some versions of macOS, applications (such as Microsoft Word) that use non-standard methods of keyboard input do not always accept the sequences of backspace keys used by the Lao phonetic entry (romanized) keyboard to change an existing syllable.
Lao Script for Mac is not currently being maintained or supported and if problems are encountered, we advise installing and using the alternate solution Keyman for macOS with Lao keyboards which uses the current version of Keyman (maintained by SIL).

Beijing, China, March 31, 2010 – Thirteen teams will battle it out for a place in the Youth Olympic Games as well as the 2011 FIVB Girls' Youth World Championship when the 8th Asian Girls' Volleyball Championship gets under way in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from May 20 to 28.
The tournament will see just one team qualify for the first Youth Olympic Games, due to be held in Singapore from August 14 to 26, joining hosts Singapore as well as Egypt, Belgium, Peru and the NORCECA continental champions who is yet to be decided.
Additionally, ten Asian boys' teams have registered to take part in the Asian Boys' Championship, also taking place in May in Iran.
The drawing of lots for the Asian Girls' Volleyball Championship was conducted by Mr. Shanrit Wongprasert, chairman of the AVC Sports Events Council. The teams were divided into four pools for the preliminary round.
Pool A will see hosts Malaysia play Kazakhstan and Singapore whilst Pool B includes defending champions Japan, Australia and New Zealand. China, runners-up from 2008's tournament, will take on Chinese Taipei and Iran in Pool C and Thailand face tough tests against Korea, Vietnam and India in Pool D.
Japan will be one of the favorites to clinch the Asian Youth Olympic Games ticket although arch rivals China will be desperate to dethrone the defending champions. In the past eight competitions, China claimed the gold medal five times whilst Japan picked up three. However Japan have beaten China in the last two finals, so will be high on confidence.

Tradëm – How would you squeeze $300 into your monthly budget?
How would you squeeze $300 into your monthly budget?
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune1 disease that affects the life of those who are diagnosed with it in all its dimensions: personal, family, mental, financial, etc.
As the wallet generally seems to be more tangible, I will tackle this aspect first.
If you choose to use one, a CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) system will set you back thousands of dollars more per year.
"Good news" is, some diabetics can have those expenses partially or entirely covered, i.e., those who have group or private insurance (which usually cover 80%) and, in Quebec,4 those who were diagnosed after 2011 and before the age of 18 (through the government of Quebec's Insulin Pump Access Program). But even with such "luck," there are many uncovered expenses left (alcohol swabs to clean injection sites, juice or fast-acting glucose to treat low sugar [hypoglycemia], etc.).
For others, it's a bit more difficult. Insulin pumps (which are more efficient overall) are often not affordable. CGM systems, which help diabetics stabilize their blood sugar levels and thereby prevent short- and long-term complications, are unfortunately considered a luxury by many insurers.
As you can see, it's far from being simple, or cheap.
Ever since I've had diabetes, I've never really had stability: insurance, no insurance, manual injections, insulin pump, CGM, no CGM… But I can say that no matter what situation I was in, I've always had to spend at least $300 (often more) per month on diabetes.
And I didn't even mention the cost of treating type 1 diabetes-related complications that affect eye health, heart health, digestive health and mental health, in particular. When I'm going through a tough time (nearly 10% of people with diabetes suffer from major depression – twice the rate of those not suffering from chronic health problems6), it's the unfairness, the burden of it all that angers me the most.
Why does it have to be like this? Why me?
All the money I've had to spend on staying alive… How many trips could I have bought with that?
All the hours I've had to miss from work for blood samples and medical appointments… What if I could have used them to do things I actually enjoy?
Imagine, for a few minutes, that you have type 1 diabetes: $300 is a large part of your monthly budget.
If you were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes tomorrow morning, how would you squeeze $300 into your monthly budget?
In 2019, Tradëm is spearheading its Words for a Cure (#WordsForACure) campaign for the benefit of JDRF, the leading global funding organization for type 1 diabetes research.

Fashion is all about the swinging sixties right now but don't think this trend is just limited to your wardrobe as mid-century modern interiors begin to emerge. Interiors writer and enthusiast Rachel Humby explores how you can make this growing trend work in your home.
When it comes to style, the word 'retro' can strike fear into many a design-conscious heart. Often synonymous with the kitsch and wacky, it was cast out (or confined to the loft) through the nineties and noughties in favour of updating homes with neutral colour palettes and contemporary furnishings.
However, in the past few years the interiors world has seen a resurgence in popularity for the retro charm of mid-century modern style. Many believe that this is partly thanks to the hugely successful TV series 'Mad Men', which has garnered as much critical acclaim for its spot-on visual styling and historical authenticity as it has for the impressive cast and storylines. Viewers are enticed to look past the action and into the meticulously-researched classic sixties sets, which offer a wealth of mid-century interiors inspiration.
Additionally, for those less confident about fully embracing the look or tracking down original (and not to mention expensive) iconic pieces, there is now an abundance of retro décor inspiration on offer to suit all tastes, as well as smartly updated and accessible furniture reproductions which are perfect for complementing chic and modern interiors.
1. Mid-century modern design rejected the excessive detail and ostentation of the early 20th century in favour of pared-back, minimalism. This oak veneered 'Smithfield' sideboard represents this perfectly with its clean lines, hidden hardware and neat, tapered legs. Inset handles also retain the flat-fronted appearance.
2. During the 50s and 60s, developments in mass-production and engineering, plus a more open-minded creative outlook, resulted in the use of new materials such as plastic. These 'Avignon' chairs with comfortable moulded plastic seats are inspired by a mid-century design classic and sure to be a real talking point.
3. This 'Hockney' sofa is a celebration of mid-century furniture design. It features slim, tapered legs plus characteristic low-level seating. Clean lines keep it both classic and contemporary while the button detailing adds a quirky splash of colour – pick this out with bright cushions.
4. This 'Pebbles' nest of tables is a true mid-century staple. A lacquered finish enhances the natural colour and character of the wood grain (another prominent design theme of the time); while the distinctive rounded shape and tapered legs give it a stylish simplicity and timeless quality that will suit a variety of interior styles.
A few carefully selected retro-inspired homeware accessories will help pull a contemporary take on mid-century modern style together. Punctuate with bright colours and geometric or graphic prints, as well as pop-art inspiration. And of course, a set of stylish whiskey glasses à la Don Draper.

For Her Rose Musc by Narciso Rodriguez
Narciso Rodriguez puts the Orient in the spotlight with its new Rose Musc fragrance
The news has just fallen and promises to delight fans of perfumery and more particularly those of Narciso Rodriguez. In addition, this prodigy of creativity has just developed a brand new perfume dedicated to the fairer sex and named Rose Musc. It is an oriental revisited in its most precious and powerful facet, sewn of noble materials and resulting from a know-how of excellence. After the success of its For Her perfume , the new Rose Musc already promises to meet all your expectations, leaving behind each woman a particularly bewitching trail.
The elegance of the rose according to Narciso Rodriguez
If Narciso Rodriguez chose to develop a fragrance called Rose Musc, it is quite simply because the rose is a symbol of absolute femininity. It perfectly embodies poetry and is thus present in many perfumes. A true star in the feminine perfume department, the rose is a legendary ingredient that Narciso Rodriguez wished to honor here. In addition, since ancient times, the rose has fascinated, inspiring many legends, multiple writers and countless perfumers. What is more, it is a rose from Morocco that has been selected. In other words, Rose Musc draws its inspiration from the Middle East and invites us to travel. It highlights the best scents in the world and plunges us into an absolutely unique olfactory universe. Undoubtedly, Rose Musc has enough to arouse a real olfactory love at first sight,
The continuation of an already known collection
Rose Musc also appears to be the successor of Musc Collection. Nevertheless, it remains very different from the latter and has its own personality. Particularly oriental, it is aimed just as much at a population coming from the East as from the West. What's more, the rose is also a popular flower among men in the Middle East. In this sense, Rose Musc is as pleasant a fragrance for women as it is for men. Thus, it only becomes more effective in terms of seduction.
The other ingredients in Rose Musc
If the Moroccan rose absolute appears from the top notes of this perfume, its heart, for its part, is filled with musk. Thus, Rose Musc displays a particularly sensual, almost erotic and animal side. On the other hand, its background turns out to be particularly luxurious. It contains one of the most expensive spices in the world, also called "red gold": saffron. This one is still heckled by the presence of black pepper. Woody tones also give more elegance and character to this set. In addition, the woody notes of Rose Musk are dominated by cistus, also paying homage to the Middle East. It all ends with a vibrant hint of patchouli. Rose Musc is then presented in a bottle with golden reflections and emblematic of the Narciso Rodriguez brand.. Undoubtedly, it is a particularly elegant fragrance in every way.

On August 30, 2013, the Federal Court of Canada quashed an Order made by the Minister of Heritage, James Moore, and cancelled a forced vote on the Canada Border Services Agency's ("CBSA") employees in the Frontière/Border ("FB") group.
The Minister's Order was made following a request by Treasury Board President Tony Clement for a forced vote on the employer's final offer, dated May 6, 2013. Minister Moore ordered the vote without consulting or giving notice to the Public Service Alliance of Canada ("PSAC"), the certified bargaining agent representing the 7 000 plus employees affected.
PSAC successfully judicially reviewed the decision before the Federal Court of Canada. In her decision, Justice Mary Gleason emphasized the importance of the vote on PSAC's interests. Justice Gleason found that "it would be difficult to find a decision that might more deeply affect a trade union's interests than the decision to order a vote among bargaining unit members" and concluded that PSAC was entitled to adequate notice of the employer's request for a forced vote and a meaningful opportunity to respond to it.
PSAC was represented by Andrew Raven and Wassim Garzouzi of Raven, Cameron, Ballantyne & Yazbeck LLP/s.r.l.
The full reasons can be read here.

TECNO Phantom Vision V concept phone folds, rolls, and has plenty of screens
While there's still a lot of skepticism and reluctance when it comes to foldable phones, especially because of their prices, there's no shortage of vendors trying to get into the game anyway. It's not just foldable either, and some companies are researching and testing phones with rollable screens as well. This last category has yet to make a formal entry into the mobile market, but there have certainly been many ideas about how such a rollable phone should work. Young brand TECNO, which has been showing a few bold concepts recently, has also thrown in its two cents, showing a concept of a phone whose screen folds and rolls but still has two extra displays for good measure.
Designer: TECHNO
Foldable phones try to solve the puzzle of screen size and portability. While many people don't mind having a large display on which they can see more content, they don't mind being able to keep it easily in their pockets or small bags. Foldable phones like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the OPPO Find N2 offer a small phone-sized device with a tablet-sized display, but that display still isn't on par with something like an iPad, at least not in size.
One other proposed solution is to combine foldable and rollable technologies to truly deliver the "tablet in your pocket" experience. That's exactly what the Phantom Vision V TECNO brings to the table, at least in concept. Just like the foldable ones mentioned above, the devices open to reveal the flexible display inside, but it still has one trick. The left side of the device expands further, rolling out additional screen real estate that would be equivalent to a 10.1-inch tablet with a more typical rectangular aspect ratio.
Additional details that make the Phantom Vision V a little more interesting than another small display below the camera array on its back. This mimics a flip-type clamshell wrap display that offers a more limited set of functionality, mainly for notifications and quick actions. It's not hard to imagine that it would also be used to take selfies using the more powerful rear cameras.
It's not exactly clear from the videos and images if the TECNO Phantom Vision V has a more traditional cover display on the other side, which allows the device to be used as a regular phone when folded close. There is a possibility that the rollable side of the screen could also be used on that outer part, which would save the components and construction costs. That means a flexible part of the screen will be exposed on the outside, which could raise concerns about durability. Given the non-trivial design, it will probably take some time before it even materializes, and TECNO has not said anything about its expected timeline for putting the Phantom Vision V into production.

Iran 1 Lithuania 0: Ansarifard strike spares Queiroz's blushes

Karim Ansarifard scored a late winner to give Iran a 1-0 victory over Lithuania in a behind-closed-doors friendly on Friday.
Carlos Queiroz's side, which will face Morocco, Spain and Portugal in Group B at the World Cup, went into the game on the back of a 2-1 friendly defeat against Turkey in Istanbul and struggled to create chances against Edgaras Jankauskas' lively Lithuania side.
After going in goalless at half-time, Iran spent much of the second half pinned back by waves of Lithuanian attacks, with Justas Lasickas firing over the crossbar before substitute Povilas Leimonas failed to hit the target after a neat passing move culminated in a chance on the hour mark.
Iran came to life in the last 10 minutes of the game, piling forwards and creating a number of chances before Olympiacos striker Ansarifard tried his luck from the edge of the penalty area and found the net in the 88th minute.
While the result – Iran's fourth victory in its last six international friendlies – will have pleased Queiroz, the manner of his side's performance will have given him food for thought ahead of its group opener against Morocco on June 15.

Nawaz and Pankaj are two of the best actors working in Hindi cinema right now and I would happily watch a film in which they get to dress up and be badass. Sadly, Munna Michael is not that film. Instead, we are forced to focus on Munna, played by Tiger Shroff. What kept me going was the humour – unintentional of course! There's also Farah Khan doing a cameo as one of the judges in the dance competition. Her bemused expression reflects our feelings. She knew, as she sat there, that this is the stuff of pure comedy.
But, we forget, sitting next to Mahinder at all times is the shaven-chested, curly-blonde-hair-spouting, shirtless and hat-clad Tiger Shroff a.k.a Munna Michael – a hero as Bollywood likes them. Munna will dance, Munna will fight, Munna will dance and fight together, Munna will love his father wholeheartedly, Munna will serve Mahinder unquestioningly, Munna will win over the local beauty, and Munna will win all the dance competitions he enters, across cities. Whatever the story is. Yes, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, we get you. It pays to be fair in Bollywood.
Debutante Nidhhi Agerwal isn't a finished article. Tiger Shroff, with all his limitations, is beginning to get there, but what his choice of roles and films tells us is that dance and action are his scene. But in the absence of a coherent screenplay to hang all the hyperactivity from, his grand scenes fizzle out. Munna Michael is only for fans of Tiger Shroff. All ye that haven't yet figured out what he is about, stay out of the way. You aren't likely to go home humming and dancing after watching this one.
Director Sabbir Khan and writer Vimi Datta have designed a film that is serviced by Shroff's two skills – dancing and action. In spite of being predictable story with slack storytelling, Khan once again (Heropanti, Baaghi) showcases just what is needed to keep Shroff's fans satisfied. Put in enough of these two elements and who cares about logic, story, acting or originality.
The trailer looked promising and I had entered the hall with some expectations if not a lot. But the film turned out to be a disappointment. Even Tiger's dance and Nawazuddin Siddiqui's brilliant performance will not be able to save this film.One and half stars!
Nawaz continues to be a revelation in each film. Here he adds a new dimension to his terribly mean, horribly funny routine, making you chuckle. Well, if you're in the mood to get rid of the monsoon blues with the foot-tapping ding dang, ding dang ditty, you should get introduced to Munna Michael; he's not making breaking any new ground, but his moves are certainly infectious.
Tiger Shroff is earnest, dances well but needs to break his fixed deposit with Sabbir Khan that's lending him no returns at all. He has done four films so far, three of which come from the same director who has depth of a saucer. What's frustrating is Nawazuddin's presence in such insipid films. It's like directors use him to justify the mediocrity they churn out in name of movies. After Freaky Ali, Te3n and Raees, Munna Michael shows once again how we let one of the finest actors of our country down, by making him ham time and again to gain a few stupid laughs. Dear Nawaz, you don't need to prove you are a great actor. You just need to choose wise buddy. After this ordeal, I want to bleach my eyes, my system with some good movies. Any suggestion guys?

I find it facinating to learn how other people travel and I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps because travel is innately a luxury — or at least it was before massive airline restrictions and cutbacks.
Hermès fragrances are some of my favourite, especially those created by Jean Claude Ellena — the in-house nose since 2004.

Empower Thyself
The Empower Thyself Program is a fundamental cornerstone for everything we do at the Modern Mystery School. Based on the most ancient of teachings, this program is a truly unique, and extremely effective, way to become a true light worker.
The class follows a set curriculum, carefully crafted several thousands of years ago in the temples of King Salomon the Wise (which is the beginning of our lineage). The information you receive during this program, passed on from teacher-to-student, is untouched, unchanged, and has been tested over and over again. It works for everyone!
A Higher State of Existence
The Empower Thyself Program brings you to a higher level of knowledge and understanding of the true mysteries. It enlightens the mind, transforms the soul, and gives you tools you can use daily to empower yourself (hence the name) and create abundance in your life.
By the end of the program, you will receive a physical initiation. This initiation is truly the most important part of our system. Throughout training with the Modern Mystery School students receive a series of initiations, all starting with this first one.
The program is essentially a preparation for this initiation, after which you will carry the title of "Adept" (someone who has mastered a skill). The initiation begins your journey as an official student of the school, and puts you under the guiding wing of the Hierarchy of Light (more information available in the program).
What does the program include and teach?
The origins of creation and the Universe
Who and what you are as a being
Why humanity exists today
Where we are all going; our progression
A basic structure of the Cosmology (Universe)
Tools for clearing negative blocks

SLAVEN BILIC revealed the reason behind his extravagant celebration for Dimitri Payet's goal against Albania on Wednesday night.
The West Ham manager was so delighted to see his star player score France's second goal late on in a 2-0 victory in Group A that he climbed on top of the table in the ITV studio.
Ian Wright, who joined Bilic as a pundit for the game on Wednesday night, was sent into hysterics by the celebration.
But the following night, on ITV's coverage of Germany's clash with Poland, Bilic joked that he was provoked by Wright and ITV presenter Mark Pougatch.
The Croatian said: "Albania had a lot of chances and you two were cheering so I waited for my moment.
"But I didn't know it was going to be on camera - it is like Big Brother here."
Payet's performances at Euro 2016 have done nothing to harm his reputation as one of Europe's hottest properties.
The West Ham midfielder has scored in both of France's wins over Romania and Albania and is wanted by the top clubs in the continent.
Manchester City have joined Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain in the hunt for Payet.
Chelsea have been sniffing round the French playmaker after his he made a stunning impact on the Premier League during his first season with the Hammers.
And PSG have made no secret of their admiration for the 29-year-old who struck a brilliant late winner in the France's 2-1 Euro 2016 win over Romania.
West Ham are desperate to keep hold of the player they awarded a new £125,000-a-week deal to midway through his first season with the club.

Halloween in Detroit Dance City — quite distinct from "Detroit Rock City," which is another brat entirely — is Swingin' Time, Shindig, Hullabaloo, Soul Train, Kill the DJ, Optimo, Trash, Club Motherfucker, [Kontrol], Brainfeeder, the Bunker and all those other sick parties from around the world funneled into one frightful night of deranging the senses. Actually, make that two nights if you count the "pre-party" that's better known locally as Devil's Night. Or even three nights, if you're feeling holy and obligated to observe All Saints the day after.
The deepest and the darkest come out to play this weekend; that's a given. But the talent on display in this city each and every witching season is eerily stellar. Sure, there are always crummy, tasteless, universally forgettable options out there — neo-pagan wannabe gatherings or crassly commercial and cheesy events on opposite sides of the spectrum, equally boring and avoidable. So what you want to do is seek out the best that authentic Detroit has to offer, because it's definitely out there. It's all resolutely fresh local ambition rolled out on a regular basis, but condensed and intensified at this time of year. In fact, you'll find a twisted bunch of people who are doing their best work, some of it radically good. Plus, the autumn is a good time for the regional scene: People seem hungry and confident, sassy and fun, ready to be tickled or tackled. And the local dance floor is a perfect place to throw yourself around, shift lanes, cruise and drift, transforming yourself into that other you always wanted to be. Write the book. Bring a camera. Get haunt-ological. Direct and star in your own mockumentary.
Detroit is, above all, fertile and earthy, a point of discovery and departure. A wormhole connecting madness to inspiration. Say hello to darkness, your old friend. Now get lost.
Honey, don't walk on the mild side
We must warn in advance that we are not responsible for injuries — psychic, physical or otherwise — on the dance floor. Walk on the wild side but come home intact that first night, with only a few scratches and bruises, so you'll be ready to do it all over again. What we will take responsibility for, though, is guiding you on the path to becoming musically correct during a bad moon rising.
So, let's bring some order to the chaos with simple chronology. In other words: Start here; end there. And everything in the middle counts.
On Friday, crews from Bang Tech 12 and Detroit Techno Militia host their third annual Devil's Night Party, during which local performers will parody entertainers, great and small; gigantic and trivial. A few highlights include Mark Flash as Stevie Wonder; Ronin Selecta as Carl Craig; DJ Dru as Deadmau5' Gabe Real and Will Evo as Detroit Grand Pubahs and — our pick of the night — Aaron Carl as Missy Elliott. Sounds nuts! We're already loving it days ahead of time. Get there early; stay late. At the Bohemian National Home, 3309 Tillman St., Detroit. 9 p.m.
Also Friday night: bust it up for a good cause at a food drive called "Angels Made of Devils" at Oslo (1456 Woodward Ave., Detroit). Detroit-Brooklyn commuter Jimmy Edgar, who just dropped a post-minimal/post-breaks bomb ("Funktion") on Richie Hawtin's Minus imprint, heads up the lineup. Free entry with canned food and non-perishables. 10 p.m.
And Funk Night turns its nasty mother out at the Majestic Theatre (4140 Woodward Ave., Detroit), featuring soul controller Frank Raines as well as the eight-piece Will Sessions Band, all emerging stars on the rising D-based Few Records label. 10 p.m.
Saturday night, feverish
How good does life get when Interdimensional Dimensions is ready to rave on All Hallow's Eve? The organization has been at the front of a global wave of tasty-edgy electro energy since the mid-1990s. And founder Brendan M Gillen has been playing live as part of Ectomorph (with Erika Sherman), calling himself the DJ BMG. He's a connecting rod between what came then and what's possible now … and later. He's performing in BMG costume for the ninth annual Samhain bash. And we think they should be flying people in on eagles from Middle Earth for this one, which also features Miami's Alpha 606, as well as Chuck Hampton, Carlos Souffront and the above mentioned Sherman. On two floors at the Bohemian National Home, 3009 Tillman St., Detroit. Starts at 11-ish; goes to 6-ish.
Modern groovemakers are also on the march all weekend. You want some more in your freakin' face? You can get it at Oslo, where Halloween Freak Out hosts soulful jammer Dam Funk from L.A. (on the Stones Throw label), known for his West Coast space funk weekly Funkmosphere party and with a new hot crunksteppin' LP, Toeachizown to throw down live. Support comes courtesy of Secrets, the Detroit-meets-Brooklyn project of Matt Abbott and Kevin Reynolds, another hard-wired lifer born to run in the merging lanes of art and technology. Starts at 10 p.m.; goes to 4 a.m. At Oslo, 1456 Woodward, downtown Detroit.
Still looking for more satisfaction? Then head to Eastern Market for Sin-de-kat's "Blak-Out," an event headed by John Acquaviva, who, with the aforementioned Hawtin, ruled the North American warehouse/rave scene in the 1990s under the Windsor-based Plus 8 banner. A wild bunch of diverse talent on the bill includes gospel-house icon Terrence Parker, as well as DJ Dan, Terry Mullan, Brian Gillespie, DJ Seoul, T. Linder, Gabe Real, Border Patrol, party promoter/DJ Hugh C. and about a half-dozen more lunatics wearing solid-state gear. At Bert's Warehouse Theater, 2739 Russell St., Detroit.
Les fleurs du mal
Finally, no matter where you begin or end up Saturday night, it's highly recommended you stick your beak into the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, for "You're Gonna Die" (hey, we knew that already!), hosted by MOCAD's enterprising New Wave committee. The dance floor should resemble a riot of colors with a scent of flowers of evil, to paraphrase Rimbaud and evoke Baudelaire. Our own riotous imagination conjures cinematic sexadelic scenes from Vampyros Lesbos as well as Claude Rains, Lon Chaney and Benicio del Toro all mingling at the cash bar, as Ital-disco and psycho-drone rock surround the big room with mindbending rhythmic assault. The night will be commanded by two forces from the dark side: Macho City + Disco Secret DJs — which is Scott Zacharias, Mike Trombley, Mike Kearns and Tommy Ferrera — and the Wolfman Band, super-fierce furry animals originating from the Time Stereo/UFO Factory/Italy Records noise-rock coalition. Expect a little punishment and reward, all you sinners! Give it up and turn it loose. MOCAD is at 4454 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Doors are at 8 p.m.

Hamza Kastrioti () was a 15th-century Albanian nobleman and the nephew of George Kastrioti Skanderbeg. Probably born in Ottoman territory, after the death of his father Stanisha he was raised by Skanderbeg, who took him in his military expeditions. After the Battle of Nish he deserted Ottoman troops together with his uncle Skanderbeg, converted to Christianity and changed his name to Bernardo (or Branilo, according to Serbian historiography). He supported Skanderbeg's uprising and was the vice captain of Skanderbeg's troops when they captured Krujë in 1443.

In 1448, Skanderbeg's forces under the command of Hamza Kastrioti and Marin Spani occupied the abandoned fortress town of Balec and reconstructed it while Skanderbeg began his war against Venice. Hamza Kastrioti did not wish to stay in the fortress and went to Drivast leaving Marin Span with 2,000 soldiers in Balec. Marin found the newly reconstructed fortress insecure and retreated with his soldiers toward Dagnum as soon as he was informed by his relative Pjetër Spani about the large Venetian forces heading toward Balec. Venetian forces recaptured Balec, burned wooden parts of the construction and destroyed reconstructed walls of the fortress.

After the marriage of Skanderbeg and the birth of his son Gjon, Hamza Kastrioti lost every hope of inheriting the Principality of Kastrioti. He deserted to the Turkish Sultan Mehmed II in 1457 and converted back to Islam and along with Isak-Beg he was one of the commanders of the Ottoman troops in the Battle of Ujëbardha. In that battle he was captured by Skanderbeg's forces and placed in detention in Naples on charges of treason. He was later freed and went to join his wife and children in Constantinople, and continued to serve in the Ottoman high ranks. His loss was regarded as a tragedy by Albanians. He was one of the most brilliant generals of Skanderbeg and was very popular among the soldiers for his manners, second only to Skanderbeg. According to historians, along with him, League of Lezhë lost the chance to continue what Skanderbeg had begun.

Commentary / Japan
Japan's long-term foreign policy: building resilience
The longest-lasting legacy of Shinzo Abe's long prime ministership may be his building of momentum behind Japan's economic statecraft. | BLOOMBERG
by Robert Ward
London – The global COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the prolonged period of political stability in Japan that started with the second administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the end of 2012.
Under Abe, Japan has played a key role as a counterweight to China's growing global influence, particularly in Asia. Since the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president in 2016, Japan has also been a leading supporter of the rules-based order. Political uncertainty in Tokyo therefore has important implications beyond Japan.
The main opinion polls in Japan show a decline in support for Abe's Cabinet over 2020. An unprecedented fourth term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party now looks unlikely for him. This partly reflects Abe fatigue — he is already Japan's longest-serving prime minister. But his domestic policy agenda has also lost steam.
The pandemic has scuppered Abe's push to reform Japan's Constitution. Abenomics, his signature economic reboot program and keystone of his appeal to voters, is also flagging. In 2020 Japan will experience its most brutal recession since the end of World War II. Economic ground lost in the 2020 downturn is unlikely to be regained until 2022 at the earliest.
A deteriorating external environment
Japan's domestic political flux coincides with a deterioration in its external geopolitical environment. The political and economic strains unleashed by the pandemic have turbocharged friction between the United States and China, Japan's most important security ally and biggest export market, respectively.
The U.S. is expanding its squeeze on China from tech to finance. Washington's potential rescinding of Hong Kong's special status under U.S. law if China imposes its National Security Law on the territory augurs for further friction. China's strategic opportunism continues to destabilize its periphery — witness Beijing's increased territorial needling in the first half of 2020 in the East and South China Seas and recent tensions between China and India over contested territory.
Against this background, the durability of Japan's recent international activism becomes more important, especially for smaller countries looking for a hedge against an unpalatable "U.S. or China" choice. That there is demand from these countries for Tokyo to remain engaged is clear — for example, Vietnam's request in its capacity as 2020 ASEAN chair for an "ASEAN Plus Three" (ASEAN, China, Japan and South Korea) meeting in mid-April this year to discuss measures to combat public health emergencies. The choice of ASEAN Plus Three rather than the ASEAN-China bilateral leaders' meeting was telling.
China is seeking to position itself as a leader in global health issues in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and has even revived its Health Silk Road concept to this end. Southeast Asia, meanwhile, has significant public health care support needs. Abe's proposal at April's ASEAN Plus Three meeting to set up an emerging diseases and public health emergency center and emphasis on transparent information exchange also highlights the rising importance of health security in post-pandemic geopolitics. Having Japan in these and other discussions is thus a vital balancer for the region.
Institutional change and economic statecraft
Recent Japanese institutional change may boost policy resilience. The formation of the inter-agency National Security Council in 2013 was a much-needed advance in fostering policy coordination between Japan's often fractious ministries and, hence, in policymaking efficiency. The addition of an economics unit, also inter-agency, to the NSC's National Security Secretariat in April 2020 was designed to bolster institutional depth by bringing economic statecraft to the heart of national security strategy.
Japan was an early mover in identifying that the threat from China lies in its geoeconomic as well as hard security power. Beijing's temporary stoppage of exports of rare earths to Japan in 2010 on the back of a bilateral territorial dispute was an important lesson for Tokyo on Japan's vulnerability to Chinese economic coercion.
Newer trends such as the impact on Japan of U.S.-China technology rivalry, the risks to Japanese economic infrastructure from cyberattacks from China, North Korea and others, and even China's plans for a digital currency will have reinforced concerns for the need for an institutional fusing of economic and security strategy in Tokyo.
Aspects of Japan's recent economic diplomacy will also outlive the Abe administration. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), launched at the end of 2018, is a good example of this and has become a key tool for anchoring Japan's economic and political influence in the Asia-Pacific region.
The mega deal commits the 11 participating countries to open their economies and to raise industrial standards. It also provides a framework for smaller countries to cooperate, playing to Japan's skills at coalition-building and its strong bilateral ties with members. As overwhelmingly the largest economy in the bloc, Japan inevitably has a leading role in it. More countries may join, expanding Japan's influence further.
Abe's legacy?
Of course, institutions and frameworks are only as strong as the political will that sustains them. Nevertheless, if managing China is one of the biggest challenges for all Western democracies, Japan may be institutionally and conceptually better prepared than many of its rich-country peers. Much of this preparedness reflects Abe's building of momentum behind Japan's economic statecraft. Indeed, it is here where the longest-lasting legacy of his long prime ministership may ultimately be found and around which Japan's ability to build a coalition of middle powers to balance the destabilizing impact of U.S.-China rivalry may revolve.
Robert Ward is Japan chair and director of geoeconomics, geopolitics and strategy at the the International Institute for Strategic Studies, carrying out independent research and writing extensively on strategic issues related to Japan, including its contemporary security and foreign policies.
Shinzo Abe, Japanese foreign policy


Accused of a crime he did not commit, dragon shifter Kaden, has been exiled to the human realm. His only chance for survival is to find a remote, warm dry place to live, as both man and dragon.
Deeply in debt, Terrie Holbrook has no choice but to sell her family's remote cattle station in the far North of Australia, and a mysterious buyer saves the property from falling into the hands of a mining company. The overwhelming attraction between them has Terrie on the run and one large blue dragon on the chase. Things take a violent turn when the mining company owner comes after what lies beneath their land. They discover an ancient puzzle, dating back to time of gods and men.
When Terrie is threatened, Kaden must do whatever it takes to save his one true mate—and the world—from the hands of a mad man.

A twist in the radiation from the Big Bang
Home/Posts/SCIENCES/Astronomy/A twist in the radiation from the Big Bang
Astronomers using a telescope in Antarctica and ESA's Herschel space observatory, have made the first detection of a subtle twist in the relic radiation from the Big Bang, paving the way towards revealing the first moments of the Universe's existence. Image © ESA
The elusive signal was found in the way the first light in the Universe has been deflected during its journey to Earth by intervening galaxy clusters and dark matter, an invisible substance that is detected only indirectly through its gravitational influence.
The discovery points the way towards finding evidence for gravitational waves born during the Universe's rapid 'inflation' phase, a crucial result keenly anticipated from ESA's Planck mission.
The relic radiation from the Big Bang – the Cosmic Microwave Background, or CMB – was imprinted on the sky when the Universe was just 380 000 years old. Today, some 13.8 billion years later, we see it as a sky filled with radio waves at a temperature of just 2.7 degrees above absolute zero.
Tiny variations in this temperature – around a few tens of millionths of a degree – reveal density fluctuations in the early Universe corresponding to the seeds of galaxies and stars we see today. The most detailed all-sky map of temperature variations in the background was revealed by Planck in March.
But the CMB also contains a wealth of other information. A small fraction of the light is polarised, like the light we can see using polarised glasses. This polarised light has two distinct patterns: E-modes and B-modes.

St Andrews Management student suspended for doing a line during online tutorial
You can take the boy out of St Andrews…
april fools drugs st Andrews
It's only been a few days back in online classes but already one student has taken it too far.
An anonymous student source from Management disclosed that a student has been suspended for snorting a line of coke in an online class. We found the student, whose real name is Thomas, and asked him what the hell he was thinking snorting coke at 9AM.
Thomas told The Tab St Andrews, "basically I didn't really want to go to the class anyway but I got an academic alert and I'd get kicked out if I didn't sit through one. So I figured if I had to sit through a stupid fucking class on Teams, I should at least liven it up a bit. I don't really give a fuck that they saw me. I'm actually a Libertarian so technically fuck the feds."
This was not the student's first class misconduct offence. Thomas has previously received a warning for arriving to tutorials late and drunk after heavy nights of drinking. Although all previous class misconducts were erased as St Andrews went online, it appears old habits die hard for this student.
On Monday morning during a 10am Art History class Thomas was seen mixing cocktails in his conservatory. This served has his first warning and after firm words from the tutor was allowed to continue the class.
The student's second warning came during a 12pm Film Studies tutorial where it was evident Thomas had been decorating his conservatory in a topical theme and was distracted by creating playlists of club classics.
The final offence occurred in a 4pm English tutorial where Thomas disrupted the online class with a solo party in his conservatory. Sources say the party consisted of Smith playing drinking games alone, dancing with his dog and a moving rendition of "Escape (The Piña Colada Song)".
The final straw for Thomas was when he was seen taking a line of cocaine in his Management online seminar. He has now been suspended for at least four weeks pending a full investigation.
We have not yet received comment from the University, but from the bottom of our hearts we thank Thomas for this service.
If you're worried about this rampant drug taking, there's no need to worry: just look at today's date.
Happy April Fools xoxo

P16 celebrates graduates, success stories
A 5-year-old girl, whose mother is an accomplished teacher, basically failed her first formal tests.
"It was surprising," said her mom Mel Hensman.
A school year later, enrolled in the P16 Project in Caldwell, and little Taylergrace is sailing to high marks.
"She's proof that it works," said Hensman. "It's such a wonderful program."
Taylergrace Hensman graduated from the P16 Project in Caldwell.
Taylergrace learned leadership skills and confidence and became a better student while participating in the P16 Project, a community-funded supplemental education program being piloted in the Caldwell School District.
P16 just finished its second year, so little data is available for analysis and comparison.
But anecdotally, parents and teachers rave about what they've witnessed. Taylergrace was one of about 80 preschool and kindergarten kids who graduated on Thursday in a formal ceremony in the Caldwell High Auditorium, which was nearly full of parents, patrons and teachers. Also attending was Caldwell mayor Garret Nancolas, superintendent Tim Rosendick, Nora Carpenter, CEO of the United Way of Treasure Valley, and Jim Everett, CEO of the Treasure Valley Family YMCA.
"My daughter was in school all day and it really helped her get through her shyness,'' Hensman said. "I believe in what this can do."
Idaho does not fund pre-school and only pays for half-day kindergarten, which is voluntary. Idaho children are not required to attend school until age 7.
P16 provides pre-school for children ages 4-6 in Caldwell. There is a fee, but financial assistance is available so no child is turned away because of inability to pay.
But the program is much more than just pre-school. It's a three-pronged approached to getting kids prepared for post-secondary pursuits.
The three components of P16
Preschool Program: It serves 80 children in four preschool classes at Lincoln and Wilson elementary schools.
Out of School Learning Program: This program fosters improved health and well-being and academic tutoring. It helps students develop a vision for their future. It is available after school and during breaks, service days and over the summer at Washington and Lewis and Clark elementary schools. Additionally, specialized coordinators provide support during the school day.
Career Aspirations Program: A CAP liaisonis at each of the 11 district schools and leads post-secondary education discussions and related activities — including higher education campus field trips, information events for parents and one-on-one career planning.
"We think what's really cool about these projects, besides how collaborative they are, is that the overarching goals are post high school education and meaningful careers," said Jake Alger, communications manager for the United Way of the Treasure Valley. "Early education is a key part of these projects, but so are all the other touch points along the education continuum."
Beginning in third grade, students at P16-affiliated schools are taken on college campus tours. High school students also are exposed to college opportunities. After the first year of P16, Caldwell High graduating seniors who enrolled in college increased from 39 percent to 48 percent.
"Obviously, that's a fantastic increase," Alger said. "Expect to see even bigger strides in the coming years as children currently enrolled in P16 blossom."

Spring is fast approaching and with that, the nation-wide competition for a coveted H-1B visa lies ahead.
The annual H-1B filing season is set to commence this year on April 3rd, which is the first business day of the month. That is the day that U.S. employers can again file petitions with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to request H-1B status on behalf of foreign nationals who are subject to the annual H-1B visa cap. If approved, the foreign employees will be permitted to commence work in the United States in H-1B status on October 1, 2017.
Every year, thousands of American employers utilize the H-1B visa as a way to recruit and retain talented foreign national employees. The H-1B visa allows non-citizens who possess the educational equivalent of a U.S. bachelor's degree to work in a "specialty occupation". Common specialty occupations include engineers, teachers, lawyers, accountants, and physicians.
Under U.S. immigration law, USCIS may accept only 65,000 cap-subject H-1B visa petitions each fiscal year, with an additional 20,000 available for individuals who have earned advanced degrees (Master's degrees or higher) from U.S. institutions of higher education. Once enough petitions have been received to reach the annual limit, USCIS cannot accept any more cap-subject H-1B petitions for that fiscal year.
Since USCIS typically receives thousands more petitions than the allotted total of 85,000 during that first week of H-1B season, the cases are placed into a random lottery system. Each petition is either accepted for adjudication by lottery or rejected and returned to the employer without review.
All indications point to an upcoming H-1B season that will be as busy and chaotic as ever. Thus far in the new Administration, there have been no substantive or procedural changes to the H-1B program.
With just about 2 months to go before the April 3rd opening day, the time is right for any U.S. employer that is considering employment for a foreign professional to immediately seek assistance from an experienced immigration practitioner to determine strategy and timing with respect to an H-1B submission. The Immigration team at Barclay Damon, LLP is ready to assist with all of your U.S. immigration needs, particularly when it comes to the H-1B visa category. We are well versed in the nuances of the H-1B program and have vast experience in preparing and filing these petitions.

The RVIPF newest recruits assemble in front the HLSCC's Marine Centre with Chief Instructor Sergeant Westmore Jeffers (far left); Sergeant Beverly James (far right) and Physical Trainer Joseph Valrose (front centre).
Tuesday, March 24– Thirteen of the Force's newest officers are now in uniform as they enter their fourth week of a demanding, six-month training programme.
The Royal Virgin Islands Police Force is conducting its first on-island recruit training for the eight males and five females that makes up this class. Formerly, officers entering the RVIPF were sent to the Regional Police Training School in Barbados for that six months training.
Chief Instructor Sergeant Westmore Jeffers says the training is rigorous and challenging beginning with early morning physical exercise, a full day of instruction and late night studies in preparation for assignments the following day.
"The police training curriculum covers the foundation for policing in both theory and practice. The new recruits must dig deep and be resourceful in order to progress through the stages of the curriculum," he said.
In-class instruction is being delivered by Sergeant Jeffers and Sergeant Beverly James while specialist training is provided by other officers of the Force. Mr. Joseph Valrose is lead instructor in the physical training programme.
The new recruits are occupying the newly refurbished barracks at the Road Town Police Station for the duration of the six-month training programme. Lectures on all aspects of law enforcement are conducted at the Marine Centre at H. Lavity Stoutt Community College.

With Israel election in sight, Netanyahu stumps with Trump
FILE - In this March 25, 2019 file photo, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump hold up the signed proclamation recognizing Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights at the White House in Washington. In a tight race for re-election, Netanyahu has gotten a welcome lift from his friend in the White House. Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the opening of the U.S. Embassy there, his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and the decision to slash U.S. aid to the Palestinians are popular among Israelis.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister has gotten a welcome lift from his friend in the White House as he finds himself in a tight race for re-election.
Benjamin Netanyahu's campaign speeches, billboards and social media videos all heavily feature President Donald Trump's image, statements and pro-Israel actions as endorsements of the long-seated prime minister.
Netanyahu has drawn inspiration from Trump, dismissing a corruption case against him as a "witch hunt." Also, his Likud party has launched a weekly webcast to counter what it claims is "fake news" broadcast by mainstream media.
For Netanyahu, the close ties with Trump are a welcome change after eight frosty years with the Obama administration, which repeatedly clashed with the prime minister over his policies toward the Palestinians and his opposition to the nuclear agreement with Iran.

More Indian Country bills slated for action on Capitol Hill
Four more Indian Country bills are scheduled for passage in the U.S. House of Representatives this week.
All four will be considered under a suspension of the rules as soon as Wednesday afternoon, according to the Democratic House Majority Leader's calendar. The process is typically used when bills are considered non-controversial, meaning they are likely to pass with overwhelming support in the chamber.
The bills scheduled for action are:
• H.R.478, the Blackwater Trading Post Land Transfer Act. The bill places about 55 acres in Arizona in trust for the Gila River Indian Community.
• H.R.810. The bill opens the door to create the Chief Standing Bear National Historic Trail, to trace the forced removal of the Ponca Tribe from its homelands in Nebraska to Oklahoma, and back. The trail would extend for about 550 miles.
• H.R.1688, the Native American Child Protection Act. The bill updates the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act, which first became law in 1990 to help tribes and the federal government address child abuse in Indian Country amid reports of widespread victimization.
• H.R.2208, the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo and Alabama-Coushatta Tribes of Texas Equal and Fair Opportunity Settlement Act. The bill ensures that the Ysleta del Sur Pueblo, also known as the Tigua Tribe, and the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe can engage in gaming on their lands in the same manner as other Indian nations.
All four bills were considered during the last session of Congress. None of them made it over the finish line in time for them to become law.
All four bills have been approved out of the House Committee on Natural Resources. All enjoy bipartisan support.
The House is schedule to consider legislation starting at 12pm Eastern on Wednesday and again at 12pm Eastern on Thursday. For any bills not yet considered, the chamber meets again at 9am Eastern on Friday.
House sessions can be viewed live at live.house.gov.
