The First Workshop on Security in Softwarized Networks: Prospects and Challenges (SecSoN) will be held in conjunction with ACM SIGCOMM 2018 in Budapest, Hungary, on August 20-24, 2018.
Operators and enterprises in general are increasingly moving towards a softwarization of their networks. Former dedicated network elements are virtualized and placed on commercial-off-the-shelf hardware. Technologies for softwarization are Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). They allow for a more efficient management of the network. Whereas NFV replaces the tightly integrated middlebox appliances by flexible Virtualized Network Functions (VNFs) running as software instances on standard servers, SDN enables a fine-granular and programmable selection and redirection of flows in the network. On one hand, this softwarization reduces the costs for network equipment. On the other hand, it broadens the attack surface as novel networking devices and protocols are deployed, which needs to be considered during the risk assessment. Especially due to their critical role within the softwarized management of the network, these devices and protocols are high ranked targets for potential attackers and thus, require extensive testing and hardening. In addition, the adaptation of these technologies in enterprise networks remains limited. This is due to the fact, that the integration of new technologies into an existing network infrastructure is a highly complex task, as the compatibility with systems such as network management and cloud management must be assured for production environments.
SecSoN 2018 will focus on the prospects and challenges of softwarized networking with particular attention to the following topics.
Submissions must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration at another conference or journal. Submitted papers must be at most six (6) pages long, including all figures, tables, references, and appendices in two-column 10pt ACM format. Papers must include authors names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the PC. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop.

Two patients die of Lassa Fever Cases in LUTH, says CMD
Professor Chris Bode
…100 LUTH workers under monitoring, Resident doctor infected
At the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, two patients treated for Lassa fever have died within few days of admission in the past one week.
Each of these two patients presented very late and died in spite of efforts to salvage them. The first was a 32-year old pregnant lady with bleeding disorder who died after a stillbirth. Post-mortem examination had been conducted before her Lassa Fever status was eventually suspected and confirmed.
No less than 100 different hospital workers exposed to this index case are currently being monitored.
A resident doctor from the Department of Anatomic and Molecular Pathology who took part in the autopsy was later confirmed with the disease and is currently on admission and responding well to treatment at the Isolation Ward of LUTH.
Prof Chris Bode, the Chief Medical Director of LUTH visited the Isolation Centre of LUTH yesterday in company of his Top Management staff and spoke with the doctor and staff to boost morale and assure them of the Hospital's full support.
He enjoined all LUTH workers to maintain a heightened level of alert in the wake of this new outbreak and observe universal precautions in handling all suspected cases of this viral hemorrhagic fever.
LUTH has always worked closely with officials of the Lagos State Ministry of Health in handling a number of diseases of public importance such as rabies, cholera, Lassa fever and the recent diarrhoea disease at the Queen's College.
Both the Lagos State Ministry of Health and the Federal Ministry of Health have responded swiftly to contain this present Lassa fever outbreak by mobilising human and material resources to trace the sources and extent of the disease, follow up on potential contacts, identify early and test suspected cases.
There are adequate materials for containment of the disease while drugs have been made available to treat anyone confirmed with the disease. The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) in Nigeria has also been contacted. Two other suspected cases from Lagos state are also presently admitted and quarantined while undergoing confirmatory laboratory tests.
What is Lassa fever?
Lassa fever is an acute febrile illness, with bleeding and death in severe cases, caused by the Lassa fever virus with an incubation period of 6-21 days. The virus, a member of the virus family Arenaviridae, is zoonotic, or animal-borne. About 80% of human infections are without symptoms; the remaining cases have severe multiple organ disease, where the virus affects several organs in the body, such as the liver, spleen and kidneys. Lassa fever is a significant cause of severe illness and death.
Where is Lassa fever found?
It is an acute viral haemorrhagic illness caused by Lassa virus, first identified in 1969 in Nigeria. It is endemic in Benin, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone, and Nigeria, with peaks in incidence closely related to seasonal patterns. However, because the rat species which carry the virus are found throughout West Africa, the actual geographic range of the disease may extend to other countries in the region.
The reservoir or host of the Lassa virus is the "multimammate rat" called Mastomys natalensis which has many breasts and lives in the bush and around residential areas. The virus is shed in the urine and droppings of the rats hence can be transmitted through direct contact, touching objects or eating food contaminated with these materials or through cuts or sores. Transmission also occurs in health facilities where infection prevention and control practices are not observed. Person to person transmission also occurs most especially when a person comes in contact with the virus in the blood, tissue, secretions or excrements of an infected individual.
Lassa fever occurs in all age groups and both sexes. Persons at greatest risk are those living in rural areas where Mastomys are usually found, especially in communities with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions. Health workers are at risk if Lassa fever is not suspected or while caring for Lassa fever patients in the absence of proper barrier nursing and infection control practices.
The onset of the disease, when it is symptomatic, is usually gradual, starting with fever, general weakness, muscle and joint pains, prostration and malaise. After a few days, headache, sore throat, muscle pain, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, cough, and abdominal pain may follow. In severe cases facial swelling, fluid in the lung cavity, bleeding from the mouth, nose, vagina or gastrointestinal tract and low blood pressure may develop. Protein may be noted in the urine. Shock, seizures, tremor, disorientation, and coma may be seen in the later stages. Deafness occurs in 25% of patients who survive the disease. In half of these cases, hearing returns partially after 1-3 months. Transient hair loss and gait disturbance may occur during recovery. Patients may die from shock.
Lassa virus infections can only be diagnosed definitively in a Virology laboratory using the following tests: the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, testing for IgM, antigen detection tests and virus isolation by cell culture.
These tests can be done at Virology Reference Laboratory at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos.
The only known specific treatment for Lassa fever is Ribavirin which may be effective if given within the first six days of illness. It should be given intravenously for ten (10) days. Supportive treatment should include; Paracetamol, Vitamin K (Phytamenadione), Heamacel, Ringers lactate, antimalaria and antibiotics- start by I.V. If patient is severely anaemic, consider transfusion.
There is currently no vaccine that protects against Lassa fever.
Prevention of Lassa fever
Prevention of Lassa fever relies on promoting good "community hygiene" to discourage rodents from entering homes. Effective measures include storing grain and other foodstuffs in rodent-proof containers, disposing of garbage far from the home, maintaining clean households
In healthcare settings, prevention is by standard precautions where all blood and body fluids are considered potentially infectious. Standard precautions are applied to all patients at all times and in all health care settings. These include hand hygiene, use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), waste disposal, cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment and environment, safe injection practices.
In case of any suspected case of Lassa fever, notify the response team in LUTH on 08058019466, 08058744780, 07035521015 and 08023299445.

Frank Sinatra – Cycles (Album, 1968)
Home/Albums/Frank Sinatra – Cycles (Album, 1968)
Cycles is an underrated album of Frank Sinatra, released in 1968, by Reprise Records. The songs are arranged by Don Costa.
The songs in Cycles album are as following:
1. Rain In My Heart
2. Both Sides Now
3. Little Green Apples
4. Pretty Colors
5. Cycles
6. Wandering
7. By The Time I Get To Phoenix
8. Moody River
9. My Way Of Life
10. Gentle On My Mind
And here is a photo of my Cycles LP.
Among all albums of Frank Sinatra, Cycles is my favorite one. I really love all the songs in the album, except Moody River, which i believe is not a good song and a wrong choice for the album. All the other songs have a unique and beautiful side, and when combined with Frank Sinatra's amazing voice in late 1960's, the album simply becomes the best. It is not a concept album, and it can be listened any time of the day. You don't need to be in the mood for it, just play and enjoy.
The song "cycles" is a masterpiece itself, both lyrics-wise and music-wise.
"Pretty colors" and "rain in my heart" are two of the best songs for a desperate and sad lover, and "Both Sides Wow" is successfully performed. Not better than Bing Crosby's live performance maybe, but still very nice.
The Both Sides Now performance of Bing Crosby I have just mentioned can be found below.
Other than these, "little green apples" and "gentle on my mind" are not the best songs of their kinds, but Sinatra's voice is enough to make them worth listening. Both very beautiful songs.
Lastly, "wandering" is a very unique and impressive song of the Cycles album.
Below is the song wandering from Cycles album.
Frank Sinatra´s Cycles album is in the shadow of his career, it is an unlit gem. But we can always reach for it and enjoy it.
I absolutely recommend all Frank Sinatra listeners to listen the whole Cycles album at least once.

I was just listening to Cycles today. I think Frank really disliked that Moody River tune. He makes a crack at the outtro and a small joking pronunciation during the body of the tune.


What is a learning platform? A learning platform or Learning Management System (LMS) is a complex software system used to create teaching contents and to manage training processes.
Another important role attached to web-based learning platforms is that of promoting student-teacher communication. In this case, the platform functions as an interface between training providers and students. This type of system does not include simple learning contents offered on the web, such as common websites or portals.
ILIAS is the Learning Management System on which the Copernicus platform is based. ILIAS adopts a collaborative learning approach and is used to create and deliver e-learning material. In addition to an integrated authoring system, the platform also includes a personalised learning and working environment, a course management service, communication tools and a test system. ILIAS supports standards such as LOM and SCORM 2004. As well as the course management service, teams can also use the platform for information management within working groups, school projects and other schemes.

Chris Brown Australian tour cancellation sparks $3.6m lawsuit
6:02pm Mar 31, 2016
Chris Brown. (AAP)
Legal action against US singer Chris Brown's Australian concert promoter has begun in Melbourne over last year's cancelled tour.
The 26-year-old singer cancelled both his Australian and New Zealand tours after he was refused a visa to enter Australia in late 2015 on character grounds.
There was a groundswell of support for a petition that called on the government to block the R&B star from visiting the country because he was convicted in 2009 of assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna.
A writ filed in the Victorian Supreme Court on Wednesday by Westgate Entertainment Pty Ltd against Castor and Ford Agency Pty Ltd (CAFA)claims it is owed more than $3.6 million.
Court documents say an agreement between Westgate and CAFA was reached in June 2015, which would see Westgate contribute 50 per cent of all expenses and costs associated with the tour.
Under that deal Westgate would be repaid that money in full and also receive 50 per cent of tour profits.
More than $2.6 million was paid by Westgate before the December concerts were cancelled, the writ says.

Westgate, who brought big names to Australia including Snoop Dogg, claims it also loaned CAFA $1 million advance in September 2015 - bringing their total claim to more than $3.6 million plus interest and legal costs.
CAFA, based in Melbourne, has 10 days to respond.

The Benedict Option for a "Monastic" Church
November 30, 2018 by Richard H. Bulzacchelli, STD
Rod Dreher proposes what he calls the "Benedict Option," by which he means a return to a monastic paradigm for Christian life, opting for the City of God in contrast to the City of Man. This world isn't our home. It's the desert through which we travel in the great Pasch or exodus to the bosom of the Father, our true Promised Land. Many of my readers will be familiar with his proposal. Some think his reference is to a view of the Church forecast by Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) in a 1969 radio interview, wherein he imagined a future Church devoid of social or political influence, having shed most her institutional apparatus, becoming a much smaller and holier communion of those willing to live in self-denial and social marginalization. In fact, though, Dreher is referring to St. Benedict of Norcia, the father of Western monasticism, who retreated to the caves in the countryside to flee the world's collapse and to preserve an interior life of faith that survives and deepens insofar as what the world thinks or wants or chooses is no longer our own concern.
The two ideas are pretty similar.
What is the Monastic Paradigm?
Dreher isn't actually saying that all Christians will have to be monks in the future, but that the monastic paradigm will have to become, as it had once been for the Church in both East and West, the paradigm upon which the whole of Christian life is modeled. We should keep in mind, here, that many population centers throughout Europe grew up around monasteries. People chose to settle around them because of the value they placed upon the spiritual guidance the monks provided. This idea appears almost instinctual in the Judeo-Christian tradition, appearing even in Judaism at the time of Christ, when lay communities arose in connection to the Essenes, who were, as far as I can tell, monks. Monasticism is the "natural" reference point, it seems, for any culture with God as its center and purpose.
According to the monastic paradigm, the world isn't our home. Rather, the world is the desert through which we travel in the great Pasch or exodus from Death to Life, from Self to God, from that which passes away to that which endures unendingly in the bosom of the Father, our true Promised Land. The monastic paradigm thus means opting for what St. Augustine had called the City of God, in contrast to the City of Man.
Ratzinger had held, in 1969, that the Church of political and social action (which many contemporary observers believe to be the dominant and essential aspect of the Church) was already a dead thing and, thus, couldn't form the basis of the Church of the future. Ratzinger's critique of this Church of political and social action can only remind an attentive historical observer of the attempt made by Julian the Apostate to render Christianity irrelevant by engaging in social action without an evangelical mandate and in the absence of any vertical horizon of hope. Interestingly, Julian had poured enormous amounts of money into that project, only to see it crumble in abysmal failure. Yet, as Ratzinger observed even in the late 1960s, a new Julian travesty of the Church was being advanced internally, by ecclesiastics whose true loyalties had become catastrophically misplaced. In time, as a result of these efforts, there would arise, with all the appearances of legitimacy, a socially-acceptable alternative to the living Church — a kind of "anti-Church," as many would say appears today, intertwined with the authentic Church like tares among the wheat (Mt 13:24–30). In the end, however, as this anti-Church gained social acceptance and worked increasingly for goals at first ancillary, and finally antithetical, to those of the Kingdom of God, the true Church would be forced to the margins, where it would have little to do, any longer, with the surrounding culture.
A Reversal of Course or a Tactical Retreat?
Ratzinger's vision was pretty apocalyptic, when you think about it.
But let's try to understand it. Returning to the monastic paradigm with its flight from the world would involve a stark reversal of course, at the practical level, on many of the postures assumed by the Catholic Church in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Keep in mind that I'm not writing this essay as an opponent of the Council or as a member of any traditionalist group within the Church. I think that the Ressourcement and the Aggiornamento were generally positive developments.
But there's no question that, objectively speaking, the Church isn't stronger today than it was before the Council, that we're not in a better social position than we were then, that we're not holier than we used to be.
Now, I'm not saying things were just as should have been until Vatican II undermined it all. The first to abandon the Church's tradition, to throw off her moral teachings and embrace the false wisdom and values of the world, were Catholics who'd been formed and catechized prior to the Second Vatican Council. The problems, clearly, were already there.
But, if prior to the Council the Church had taken an oppositional approach to the world, since then we have sought a rapprochement with the world. It seems apparent that neither of these two strategies has been successful in strengthening the Church or making us holier. In fact, recent surveys show that today's Catholics who attend Mass not only "regularly" but according to the Church's stated disciplinary norms (a minority of self-identifying Catholics to begin with) overwhelmingly hold secular rather than Catholic views about nearly everything, and live just like everyone else in all ways other than their inexplicable attachment to Sunday Mass.
Neither opposition to the world nor rapprochement with it has worked. The "culture war," in other words, is real, and it seems we've lost, for now, in part because, for the past sixty years, we've largely refused to acknowledge it was taking place. We can argue about this point, but even if we think we can still win the culture war in the near term, prudence would dictate that we prepare for defeat even as we fight for victory.
Dreher is, in this sense, a practical man and a realist with a supernatural perspective. He acknowledges that the Church transcends whole civilizations — even Western civilization. The Benedict Option, then, is for times like these, whether the end of a civilization is upon us or only very truly possible. A return to a more monastic paradigm for Christian life, with a different set of priorities and a different posture toward the world, preserves the seeds by which the garden is to be replanted when the spring arrives. If the day is to come when our civilization falls, it'll be the monastic paradigm that preserves Christianity in its ashes, and allows the Church to rise again and build anew under the bright shadow of the Cross of Christ.
So, what would this preparation look like? According to St. Benedict, we should live as if "in a perpetual Lent" (Rule 49.1) and turn our attention away from most of the doing and acting we associate with life in our decaying culture. We should focus, instead, on being — on a more contemplative existence — and significantly reduce our extra-ecclesial involvement. Political causes? Social causes? Economic justice? Environmentalism? International relations? Practically speaking, whatever pressing questions arise in these areas, we should remember that they arise in the context of a world that's passing away, and that the only thing of ultimate value at stake in any of these questions is the state and fate of the human soul. Nothing else of it will last nor any other loss be permanent.
Christianity's Fundamental Option
Here's what's at stake in the Benedict Option. If what we think most about in life are the problems of this world, they'll tend to become our ultimate concern and the filter through which we see reality. We'll thereby lose the divine perspective that comes through faith, while adopting a worldly one. This observation explains a lot about what's happened to the Catholic mind and heart in Western society over the past fifty-plus years.
St. Paul, of course, provides direction here. He explains that he and the world had chosen to part ways — to break ties in a radical and unalterable way. To make this point, he appeals to the image of crucifixion. "The world," he declares, "has been crucified to me and I to the world" (Gal 6:14). To understand what Paul means here, we need to remember that the penalty of crucifixion was a form of annihilation by which all traces of a person's existence were purged from history. The crucifixion of Christ is an attempt to re-write history as if Christ had never been. So is the suppression of the Church of Christ by a Julian anti-Church. Thus, our choice is a stark one, for Paul: to have a new world and a new history with Christ, or to have the old world without him. We can't have both. Paul's missionary activity has to be understood in this context — and that context is very much like our own.
Today we think that the Church has constantly to be engaged in some positive social action or external work, because God loves the world. We don't realize that we're univocating here between the world as creation and the world as the dominion of death, where these uses are actually equivocal in the Bible. That's a fatal mistake. In our confusion, the agenda for our social action is set at the lowest common denominator — the concerns of the fallen world; so those aspects of Christianity that the world doesn't accept, like chastity, for example, or our beliefs about God, are first bracketed and finally opposed.
If we want to understand how a Catholic politician could purport, without censure, to be acting in accord with the Faith by promoting contraception, abortion, and same-sex marriage, while seeking to curtail the liberty of Christians to act in accord with Church teaching on these matters, we have our explanation.
When we confuse the City of God with the City of Man and believe Christians have more in common with the world than not, we assimilate to the world. But, when, recognizing that the world opposes Christ, we choose him anyway, at any cost, we assimilate to heaven. St. Paul, St. Benedict, St. Francis, and all the great reformers understood that either the Church will conquer the world or the other way around. This is what the Benedict Option means — that the only path to victory runs through paradox: the Church must reexamine its priorities and let God purify us of our worldly ambition and taste for the acclaim of men.

About Richard H. Bulzacchelli, STD
Dr. Richard H. Bulzacchelli is Lecturer in Theology at Catholic Studies Academy and Senior Fellow with the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Widely published, he taught philosophy at Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA, from 2002–04, and theology at Aquinas College in Nashville, TN, from 2004–18, where he held the rank of associate professor. He is the author of "Elohim Created": A New Look at the First Creation Narrative (Aggiornamento, 2012).
Tom McGuire says:
Richard Bulzacchelli how do you understand the line in "Our Father", "ty will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? The followers of St Benedict were very much not running from the world, but pointing to and acting to bring about on earth, heaven–the Kingdom of God. Hotels, hospitals, libraries, agriculture and many other forms of human service are rooted in Benedictine Monasteries. Benedict is considered the Father of European Civilization.
Catholic Social Teaching is a constitutive part of Catholic doctrine. Are you suggesting this is not ture?
What is your response to Matthew 25: 31-46? How can that not require some effort to serve the poor and be part of the creation of systems that do not oppress but move God's will for what is on earth to be what is in heave–the Kingdom of God?
Richard H. Bulzacchelli, S.T.D. says:
The question is not whether we are required to make efforts to serve the poor but rather, how the Church conceptualizes its relationship to a world that is hostile to Christ. If the Church becomes so unwelcome in the re-secularized world that it can no longer do the good it has traditionally done through her institutions without effectively denying Christ in the process, then those projects will have to be suspended. When, for example, Catholic colleges graduate fewer Catholics than they admit, fewer Christians than they admit, and fewer believers in the God of the Bible than they admit, this is a sign that something essential to the service of the salvation of souls has taken second-place to the project of the institution itself and the secular goods that it serves. Something has gone terribly wrong.
Keep in mind, too, that many of Christ's mandates are given to persons not institutions, and accepting the imperative does not equate to institutional action.
Finally, to answer your question regarding the meaning of the line in the Lord's prayer, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven," I would say that this line speaks to two points: 1) the conversion of hearts, and 2) the restoration of the cosmos. The two are related, in that one addresses the dominion of sin and the other the dominion of death, which results from the advent of sin in the world. It is thus a call for the eschatological realization of the promise of salvation. Does it carry implications for conduct? Certainly. But does it address "systems of oppression"? Probably not. That reading is pretty anachronistic, arising only much, much later–really following upon Marx's dialectical materialism, which then became a general idea of power dynamics in Neo-Marxist thought in the twentieth century.
R. Thomas Richard says:
Placing the crisis in the Church and in the world today in the context of Augustine's two cities is appropriate and illuminating – I believe your concern is true, and is leading you toward thoughts I share with you. Your response above helped me focus as well on the "Martha and Mary" account in Luke – especially this that you wrote, "something essential … has taken second place," and "Something has gone terribly wrong." Jesus said to the very busy and terribly distracted sister:
""Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion, which shall not be taken away from her."
It is crucial to the identity of the Church that we first of all KNOW that "one thing is needful," lest we become lost in serving, It is crucial not only that we know the fact of the truth of this, but that we know Him who is Truth, so that our serving may be in Him who is True.
Bernadette. Fakoory says:
Clearly, we are all call by God to re-examine our consciences. As God called Adam and asked him why he was hiding and who told Adam that he was naked. God is indeed stripping us of our worldly garments, ornaments and external appendages that have kept us back from making any real effort in working on our interior lives.
For many years, since back in the early,fourth and fifth sixth centuries there have been monastic developments. Many works have come to us through the monks, through the early fathers of the Church through the saints. Still, the Catholic Church in particular , the priestly class was separated from the laity and for most part did not effectively communicate to the laity the real substance of faith in Jesus Christ and the work of reconciliation and redemption.
You did mention from St.Benedict's rule49.1, that maybe we are meant to live meditating perpetually on the crucifixion and death of Christ. I believe you make a good point in saying so. Since I believe the true test of time that the Lord was speaking about concerns the psychological development of humanity. The true awakening of humanity To its self experience in relation with a God and without God. A true test to how we have made progress or failed to make real progress in authentically becoming true male and female images created by God.
Fr. Richard Jones says:
Richard, this is a point that I have been attempting to make for the past 10 years. The purest option that the Church can take in the midst of the "New Enlightenment," or the current post, post-modern society, is to congeal within the safety and daily disciplines of Monasticism. That is NOT to say we hide from the world, but that we, formed around daily biblical praxis, establish a practical, yet mystical, alternative to secular existence in the world. In doing so, and by keeping our eyes fixed on Christ, we become more like that shining City of God set on top a hill for all to see and run to in the midst of a rapidly increasing darkness.
Richard, the issue as I see it is that the mission 'to the nations' that Jesus talked about to the apostles, just before he acended, remains the mission. (Lk 24:47) The opposition to Christ begins both with us all and ends with us all. One legitimate option in following Jesus – the 'Monastic Option' – has a lot of cred and has unquestionably been a huge success in grounding the Church – East an West – especially in Europe. It didn't do so well in Asia – arguably an ancient home for the Monastic tradition. From a global perspective then this would have to be, superficially at least, the weakness of the Monastic Option. In some parts of the world poverty, inequality, ignnorance and disease create a vortex of their own for faithful catholic souls. Direct action just for the sake of it in such an envioronment, while noble in sentiment, has a long history of leading many to disengagement with the Church by default. Others have been led to oppose the Church when such a mentality takes root. Maintaining equilibrium – a monastic virtue – while facing such stark human challenges is the issue. Christ grounded his apostles in the ancient scriptures, prayer, the Eucharist and service: thing's admirably emulated in the monasteries. Christ is the King and ruler of the Universe. Any active dis-engagement in his name for the cause of the Church will weaken the Church. All active engagement prayerfully and studiously entered into – in his name – by faithful Christians will serve to extend his scepter and expand his rule. Leadership, grounded in Christ, remains the apostolic calling.

Planning commission delays hotel vote
Kevin Kenney
Santa Clarita City Hall
Eight years of stagnation over a proposed hotel at McBean Parkway and Valencia Boulevard continued Tuesday night, as the Santa Clarita Planning Commission delayed approval of a five-story, 134-room plan – with members saying they were unimpressed by the architectural design.
Instead, by a 3-1 vote with one member absent, the commission continued the matter until its Nov. 15 meeting – telling the developer, Asset Builders Valencia LLC, to work with the city to tweak the building's aesthetics and return for another try.
The project, commonly called the "Oliver Hotel Project," would be on the site of the old Greens miniature-golf course and restaurant.
Developer Hunter Oliver, who was present for the hearing, declined comment to The Signal afterward, but clearly was not pleased by the evening's outcome.
"We can do better," Commissioner Charles Heffernan said of the hotel's exterior aesthetics, adding, "This is a nice design, but it's not something I would put in the center of the city."
He also said the proposed architecture "doesn't match the community character guidelines."
He especially was looking for "more variation in roof height," he said.
Tim Burkhart, vice chairperson of the commission, said the design "strikes me as rather plain – it looks like a dormitory.''
Associate city planner David Peterson, whose report to the commission had recommended the hotel's approval, said the developer had already cooperated with the city on amending design plans. Peterson said the design that so underwhelmed the commissioners Tuesday night was "a vast improvement on what was originally proposed," which was basically, "a big box."
Peterson said that, after a city architectural review of the original plan recommended aesthetic changes, the developer came back with an improved plan featuring varying roof heights, insets, a brighter color scheme and other tweaks.
Those changes, Peterson said, addressed all the issues the city's architectural review had raised.
Hunt C. Braly, an attorney for Oliver, also stressed to the commission that,
"We have responded" to the city's concerns, and that the commissioners' objections "don't seem to be substantive problems."
Braly told the commissioners, "We still have a willingness to be flexible," but mentioned "the timing this applicant is facing" and cautioned that a continuation, "would be negative to the applicant. ''
Braly also declined to comment to The Signal after his client's hearing.
Heffernan, Burkhart and Commissioner Diane Trautman voted to continue the matter until Nov. 15. Chairperson Dennis Ostrom, voted "no" on the motion.
Ostrom said that while "there seems to be unanimity that this is kind of plain," he was being "sensitive to the business component."
Commissioner Lisa Eichman was absent for the proceedings.
History on site
Hotel proposals for the site have a long history of delays.
The Oliver proposal is a scaled-down version a proposal first pitched by Sheraton in 2008 – a project that met with significant opposition from nearby residents.
That proposal, for a seven-story, 200-room hotel, was approved by the Planning Commission in 2009, but the approval was appealed to the City Council, which asked Sheraton to conduct further public outreach. Sheraton never responded to that request, and the project languished and eventually died.
Oliver bought the property and began discussions with city officials this summer on the smaller plan, which would feature five stories, 134 rooms and be 60 feet tall at its highest point. There would also be a separate restaurant and a parking lot that includes 220 spaces.
All those specifications met the approval of the commissioners – just not the aesthetics.
The Oliver group had even reached out several times in recent weeks and months to area residents to allay concerns that had been expressed over the larger 2009 Sheraton proposal.
Over 30-plus years, Kevin Kenney has been a writer and editor for United Press International, the New York Post and Fox Sports, among other outlets. He joined The Signal in 2016.

That Goodness inspires a confidence, which, by divesting respect of terror, ...
Thread starter siares
siares
Madam,
That goodness inspires a confidence, which, by divesting respect of terror, excites attachment to Greatness, the presentation of this little Work to Your Majesty must truly, however humbly evince; and though a public manifestation of duty and regard from an obscure Individual may betray a proud ambition, it is, I trust, but a venial - I am sure it is a natural one. (Fanny Burney, Camilla dedication)
why is there an 'a' in front of confidence? What exactly is 'a confidence' doing to 'respect of'?
velisarius
British English (Sussex)
That goodness inspires a confidence, which, by divesting respect of terror, excites attachment to Greatness, the presentation of this little Work to Your Majesty must truly, however humbly evince; and though a public manifestation of duty and regard from an obscure Individual may betray a proud ambition, it is, I trust, but a venial - I am sure it is a natural one.
Goodness inspires a confidence that excites attachment to Greatness - Goodness inspires [a particular kind of confidence] that excites attachment to Greatness...
This confidence allows the writer to respect His/Her Majesty without being terrified of such Greatness. This confidence removes terror from respect (divests respect of terror).
What a complicated sentence. They really knew how to dedicate books then, didn't they? 'A' can be used with non-count nouns like 'confidence' when there is some sort of a modifier, like an adjective or a relative clause: 'a comforting confidence', 'a confidence which will surprise you', etc. So this is a confidence which excites attachment to Greatness (= makes people get fond of great people, like the Queen). Great people like queens can be terrifying, and you respect them for that, but if they show goodness, that divests (removes) the terror from the respect, and you can just respect them without being terrified.
cross-posted
In case it's not clear, the overall structure of this sentence is that a 'that'-clause that is the complement of 'evince' (=show) has been brought to the front for emphasis. So:
The presentation (of this work . . .) must evince that goodness inspires confidence . . .
I originally thought that one 'has a respect of terror' but now I see it is about stripping respect of the aspect of terror
That Goodness etc. is evidenced by the fact of dedication of the novel to the Queen - Is there not a semicolon before 'the presentation' necessary?
(crosspost and edit)
I realised I don't understand this:
Why there is an 'a' rather than 'the' before confidence? Since the kind of confidence we are talking about is specified by 'which etc.'?
If we rearrange the first part of the sentence it becomes clear that it shouldn't be divided by a semi-colon:
The presentation of this little Work to Your Majesty must truly, however humbly, evince that goodness inspires a confidence which, by divesting respect of terror, excites attachment to Greatness
Goodness inspires a confidence which excites attachment to Greatness - Fanny Burney is introducing us to the concept of this kind of confidence.
Goodness inspires the confidence which excites attachment to Greatness - this would suggest that there already exists in the reader's mind a concept of this special kind of confidence.
Thank you Velisarius!
I understand the 'a' now.
I may also be getting it with the semicolon now - it would only be necessary if, without it, the sentence could have had a different meaning, right?
This way, it would only have allowed me to make a pause between two ideas 'excites attachment' and 'the presentation evinces'.
Commas:
Why is there a comma before which?
I would have read it easier if the phrase went:
...a confidence which...phrase qualifying confidence...excites attachment.
Why is there 2 commas setting off , by divesting respect of terror,? That makes me feel like I can take the whole chunk out without affecting the sentence significantly; which is not true.
As for the comma before "which", I'm assuming that is the original punctuation, which may differ from modern conventions of punctuation.
"a confidence which, by divesting respect from terror, excites attachment"
"a confidence which (by divesting respect of terror) excites attachment" - the words between commas are parenthetic, explaining in what way it excites attachment.
Uhm, I see..
One more thing about 'a confidence':
velisarius said:
is introducing us to the concept of this kind of confidence
Would it turn into a 'the' if the structure were to be altered somehow? For example
That goodness inspires the confidence of a kind which divests respect of terror,
I am asking cause I remembered this post:
PaulQ said:
"Moore escaped by a cunning trick of lying down in a clump of grass"
should be
"Moore escaped by the cunning trick of lying down in a clump of grass
"Moore escaped by doing a cunning trick: lying down in a clump of grass.
Here (in the 'the' version) the trick I think alike the 'a confidence' was being introduced to reader's mind - no?
PaulQ
English - England
No. A confidence = a type of confidence. See #6
Thanks velisarius, PaulQ.
I had told Traddles of the terrible event, and it had greatly shocked him; but there could be no doubt of the kindness of keeping it a secret, and he had come to help me in this last service. (David Copperfield)
I didn't have any concept of this special kind of kindness before reading the sentence!
introducing us to the concept of this kind of confidence.
A confidence = a type of confidence.
I just can't tell when to think of something as 'a kind of' or 'introduced to reader', and when not.. Kindness and confidence are similar nouns, and they are both 'a type' above.
The only difference I see between them is that after the nouns appear, qualification of kindness is launched into whereas description of confidence dilly dallies. (I hope I'm not being too technical).
Which difference have I missed?
I'm not sure I'll be much help, but here goes...
I think it's quite rare today to find the indefinite article with these two words, as they are normally uncountable. I might talk about "doing someone a kindness", but not about "inspiring a confidence". If someone is making a speech, i.e. using rather grand language, they might say something like: "The new government inspires in us a confidence that we trust will not prove to have been misplaced."
That goodness inspires a confidence, which,[...], excites attachment to Greatness...
Let's take a modern example to see how we can use the articles or zero article with the word "confidence".
-The teacher's praise inspired in the student a confidence that enabled her to sail through her exams.
"A confidence" = a special kind of confidence that enabled her to sail through her exams. I think that this usage "inspired in her a confidence" with the indefinite article is quite formal. At least, I can't think of an example where I would easily use it in informal speech.
These are the forms that we would more normally use:
-The teacher's praise inspired in the student the confidence that enabled her to sail through her exams. The student had confidence - it was the confidence that enabled her to sail through her exams.
A version with no article:
-The teacher's praise inspired the student with confidence, which enabled her to sail through her exams.
I had told Traddles of the terrible event, and it had greatly shocked him; but there could be no doubt of the kindness of keeping it a secret, and he had come to help me in this last service.
Keeping it a secret was a kindness. Keeping it a secret was a kind thing to do/an act of kindness. (One can imagine other kind things - other "kindnesses".)
There was no doubt of the kindness of keeping it a secret.
Only the definite article will do in this sentence.
Compare with: There is no doubt about the truth of this statement.

Iga Swiatek 'really proud' as she wins her fifth consecutive title in Rome
Iga Swiatek has continued her impressive winning streak by claiming her fifth consecutive title in Rome, beating Ons Jabeur in the final.
The world number one now has an incredible 28 match winning streak and has become only the second player ever to win four or more WTA 1000 titles in a single season, after Serena Williams in 2013.
Swiatek has won every WTA 1000 she has contested this season starting with Doha, Indian Wells, Miami and Rome. She currently holds five of the last nine WTA 1000 titles.
The 20-year old Polish star admitted she was nervous before the tournament and wasn't sure if she could keep the run going.
"At the beginning of the tournament, I didn't know it would be possible to keep up the streak and with all the wins," Swiatek said.
"I'm pretty happy I did it really step by step and I just focused on the right things because I think it led to all the success this week.
"Yeah, for sure it was a long path for me since the beginning, but I'm really proud of myself and my team."
Swiatek defeated Jabeur 6-2, 6-2 but had to overcome a strong challenge from the world number seven in the second set which she said made it a very physical struggle.
"Coming back from this Love-40 game in the second set was emotionally also tough," Swiatek said.
"It was hard for me to switch the modes to be more focused and play the same kind of tennis I played before.
"I felt relief for sure because the second set, it got to a really physical game. At the end, I was just pretty tired. I'm just really happy that I could cope with all the pressure and expectations so well."
Swiatek said afterwards that her current winning streak feels 'surreal' but that she is just concentrating on improving her 'solid' game ahead of Roland Garros, where she claimed her only Grand Slam title so far.
"It's pretty hard to describe it 'cause all these tournaments that I've won seem pretty surreal right now," Swiatek said.
"I feel like just continuing the same things that I did before really was the key to that. It's pretty weird because you may think every tournament, that it takes something more.
"But I'm pretty happy with my solid game. I was able to just play good and also improve during the tournament."


San Diego, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Philip Rivers threw for three touchdowns and 377 yards, leading the San Diego Chargers to a 33-14 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Rivers completed 29 of his 39 passes, while Eddie Royal caught two touchdown passes and racked up 105 yards on five catches and Keenan Allen had a career- high 135 yards on 10 grabs.
Nick Novak made four field goals for the Chargers (3-1), who won their third straight game.
Blake Bortles, who was selected third overall in May's draft, made his first career start, throwing for 253 yards on a 29-of-37 completion rate with a touchdown and two interceptions in the loss.
Toby Gerhart rushed for 32 yards on 10 carries with a touchdown and Nic Jacobs added a receiving score for Jacksonville (0-4).
The Chargers scored the final 23 points of the game.
Royal hauled in a 43-yard bomb down the left sideline and cut towards the middle of the field before finding the end zone for a 17-14 Chargers lead heading into halftime.
San Diego raced out of the break with a nine-play, 80-yard scoring drive. Allen's 22-yard catch followed by Antonio Gates' 17-yard reception gave the Chargers a first down at Jacksonville's 24. After two in completions, Michael Floyd hauled in a 24-yard pass for a 10-point lead.
On Jacksonville's next drive, Bortles' pass, intended for Cecil Shorts, was picked off by Brandon Flowers, leading to Novak's 34-yard field goal with six minutes to play in the third. Shorts left the game with a hamstring injury after the interception.
Novak split the uprights again, this time from 23 yards out for a 30-14 lead early in the fourth.
Eric Weddle picked off Bortles with less than four minutes remaining and Novak's 37-yard field goal sealed the win.
Jacksonville fumbled on the second play of the game. Gerhart raced 10 yards up the middle before Jarret Johnson forced the ball loose and Donald Butler recovered it at the Jacksonville 30. The Chargers were not able to convert, though, after going three-and-out.
After the Jaguars turned the ball over on downs near midfield, Rivers's 16- yard completions to Allen and Royal set up an eventual 33-yard field goal from Novak with 3:44 left in the first.
Jordan Todman returned the ensuing kick to the Jaguars' 32. Bortles found Shorts on third down for a 13-yard gain to extend the drive into Chargers territory and Clay Harbor hauled in a 22-yard strike for a first down at San Diego's 15. Gerhart capped the 10-play, 68-yard trek with a 1-yard plunge into the end zone for a 7-3 lead early in the second.
Rivers hit Allen for a 24-yard pass over the middle, then connected with Royal for a 47-yard touchdown.
The Jaguars, however, regained the lead on their next drive. Allen Hurns got behind the secondary and caught a 44-yard pass to set up Jacobs' touchdown catch from two yards out with 7:17 left in the second quarter.
Rivers threw a touchdown pass in his 24th straight game, setting a new team record ... The Jaguars have been outscored 149-58 this season ... San Diego has won four straight games against Jacksonville ... Bortles' 78.4 percent completion percentage was the highest of any rookie quarterback in their first career start with a minimum of 30 attempts.


1. Do I need to submit drawings for my project? Do I need to hire an architect?
Scaled drawings are required for most residential projects, except roofs, windows, and mechanical equipment.

A recent report has revealed that Britons spent £195 million in 2009 on massive multiplayer online games (MMO's) such as World of Warcraft and Runescape.
Today's Gamers MMO Focus Report, as the research was called, was conducted by TNS and Gamesindustry.com and found that 1.5 million Brits spend £10.50 on average per month playing MMO's.
This is quite a large difference compared to gamers in Germany and France who spend £165m and £145m respectively on theirs.
This is dwarfed however by the colossal $3.8 billion spent in the US, over three times what Britons spend per head.
"Okay, so this doesn't paint a picture of us as the globe's sexiest nation, but look on the bright side - at least, for once, we're top of a European league table that doesn't feature binge drinking, obesity or teenage pregnancy."

Wrestling Inside The Ropes
Vince McMahon sells nearly $272 million in WWE stock to fund XFL's parent company
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - FEBRUARY 16: Vince McMahon attends a press conference to announce that WWE Wrestlemania 29 will be held at MetLife Stadium in 2013 at MetLife Stadium. (Photo by Michael N. Todaro/Getty Images)
From the WWE Newswire at 985TheSportsHub.com
Vince McMahon has Wrestlemania 35 to worry about this weekend. But apparently, he's taking the relaunch of the XFL as seriously as ever.
According to a new SEC filing from the majority owner and CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, he's selling over $271.9 million in WWE stock in order to fund Alpha Entertainment LLC, the parent company of his returning professional football league that folded after one season in 2001. The filing states that McMahon sold 3,204,427 shares of WWE's Class A common stock at the March 27 closing price of $84.87. McMahon sold off about 4.1 percent of total WWE common stock, but retained 80.1 percent of total voting power and 36.8 percent WWE stock ownership.
McMahon originally announced the relaunch of the XFL in Jan. 2018, promising a worthy alternative to the NFL free of issues that mar the sports superpower's image. He specifically cited players with criminal records and players who invoke "social and political issues" as things you won't see in the new version of the XFL, expected to launch in Feb. 2020 after the end of the 2019 NFL season.
He also promised a "faster" and "more exciting" football product with "simplified" rules. Virtually all of McMahon's pledges appeared to be direct responses to problems that plagued the NFL at the time. His announcement also coincided with the NFL's sliding TV ratings, which ended up rebounding in the 2018 season.
McMahon's reinvestment into Alpha Entertainment, which the SEC filing states is for the purpose of funding the XFL, also coincides with the imminent collapse of the Alliance of American Football before the conclusion of its first season. The new league, which launched in 2019 and features many former NFL players and coaches in prominent roles, recently suspended all football operations, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. It's not officially out of business yet, but a move like that strongly indicates that collapse is imminent.
Despite the original XFL and AAF both failing to last a second season, McMahon has vowed to remain committed to the XFL relaunch for at least two years. The next step for the WWE owner is to prove his ideas (and perhaps some others) will prove compelling enough to keep viewers engaged better than other recent failed football leagues.
And in spite of the XFL news, McMahon's first priority in the coming days is still to make sure Wrestlemania 35 at MetLife Stadium is as successful as ever for the WWE's flagship annual event.

Mayor Keller Convenes City, State, Community Experts on Child Abuse Prevention and Coordination
Mayor Keller Convenes City, State, Community Experts on Child Abuse Prevention and Coordination City of Albuquerque, CYFD, UNMH, and dozens of community partners come together to find solutions, address challenges, increase cooperation. https://www.cabq.gov/mayor/news/mayor-keller-outlines-2020-operating-budget-proposal-focused-on-public-safety-jobs-opportunities-for-kids-1 https://www.cabq.gov/mayor/news/mayor-keller-outlines-2020-operating-budget-proposal-focused-on-public-safety-jobs-opportunities-for-kids-1/@@download/image/20190418_ChildAbusePrevention.jpg
City of Albuquerque, CYFD, UNMH, and dozens of community partners come together to find solutions, address challenges, increase cooperation.
This morning at Cesar Chavez Community Center in southeast Albuquerque, Mayor Tim Keller convened more than 50 representatives of local and state government, law enforcement agencies, faith groups, non-profit service providers, survivors, and advocates focused on child abuse in Albuquerque and in New Mexico. Called in response to a spate of recent tragic deaths as a result of child abuse, the convening focused on increasing coordination with a focus on prevention, intervention, and enforcement.
The meeting is the first of more to come as the City launches a Kids Cabinet to address this and other parts of the experience of childhood in Albuquerque. Today's conversation will have an immediate impact on the level of coordination among agencies addressing different aspects of child abuse. In addition to discussing ways to work together more closely and committing to meet again, the group also discussed challenges in the current system—from funding to information sharing to points of access to various resources—that must be acted upon to move the conversation beyond enforcement to prevention.
Mayor Tim Keller said, "Addressing the challenge of child abuse is a puzzle that's going to take all of us working together to address. Although no single one of us can do everything, we can each do something. The group we convened today will unpack the large problems and figure out how to address them, while getting to work immediately on the low-hanging fruit. One of those immediate solutions we identified was getting these experts into the room so that we can start filling in the gaps in the system that failed these children."
The City of Albuquerque is already working to reduce and prevent child abuse by investing in children, growing the number of spots available in youth programs, connecting families who use services like housing vouchers to resources for children and families, investing in behavioral health and addiction services, and hiring more police to grow the Crimes Against Children Unit.
Other partners highlighted steps they have already undertaken to reform systems, add resources, or more effectively serve to prevent child abuse.
CYFD has reduced wait times at the #SAFE Statewide Central Intake system from over two hours to less than twenty minutes in most cases. They are also acting on Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's commitment to rebuild the state's behavioral health network of care, including community-based treatment, crisis services, and rebuilding a workforce of caregiving doctors, therapists, and counselors.
CYFD Secretary Brian Blalock said, "You know you're in a special place, in a special city, when we can say we want to have a meeting and you get this many meaningful people, organizations, and voices represented in just a few days. We are all grieving, but we're going to move that grief into something positive and go build the system we truly want for our children."
UNM Health Sciences Center is investing funding into child abuse evaluation, screening, and prevention. They are also increasing access to pediatric behavioral health specialists at hospitals and treatment centers as well as exploring telehealth programs.
UNM Health Sciences Chief of Staff Chamiza Pacheco de Alas said, "In recognition of the unique challenges facing our state, the Health Sciences Center is focusing its policy and community engagement initiatives on child well-being, behavioral health, and healthy aging. In the areas of child well-being and behavioral health, we look forward to partnering with the city, state and non-profit organizations to ensure families receive the education, services and support needed to raise happy, healthy children."
Partners at the table included the City of Albuquerque; New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department; Bernalillo County; UNM Health Sciences Center; New Mexico Children's Cabinet; Albuquerque Police Department; Albuquerque Fire and Rescue; Albuquerque Public Schools; Advocacy, Inc.; Albuquerque Interfaith; All Faiths; Catholic Charities; CHI St. Joseph's Children; CLN Kids; Future Focused Education; New Day; NMCAN; Outcomes, Inc.; Partnership for Community Action; Together for Brothers; and Youth Development, Inc.
The City of Albuquerque will be reporting out the results of the meeting at tonight's Albuquerque Bernalillo County Government Commission meeting. You can see the agenda here.

We'll NEVER FORGET what y'all did for US!!!! 55yrs on Bankhead formed BONDS that will NEVER BE BROKEN!!!!! #RIPDADDY #RIPMOTHER WE LOVE & MISS YOU BOTH!!!!
A post shared by TIP (@troubleman31) on Jan 5, 2016 at 6:29pm PST
T.I.'s Grandfather Passes Away
Ted Simmons
T.I. shared some sad news on Instagram Tuesday (Jan. 5), posting two photos to mark the passing and burial of his grandfather, Robert Morgan, a man he refers to in both photos with the hashtag "RIPDADDY."
The rapper's actual father passed away when he was just 17 after losing a battle with Alzheimer's. T.I. was then primarily raised by his mother and grandparents, which explains the paternal reference used in both photos.
In the captions for the photos, T.I. remembers his grandfather with heartfelt words, writing, "We'll NEVER FORGET what y'all did for US!!!! 55yrs on Bankhead formed BONDS that will NEVER BE BROKEN!!!! #RIPDADDY #RIPMOTHER WE LOVE 7 MISS YOU BOTH!!!!" T.I.'s grandmother had passed in 2009, before the rapper went to prison on weapons charges. The second caption reads, "We laid down a real stand up GUY today!!!! Not many men have raised as many Real Ones as He DID!!!!! #RIPDADDY."
Last week, he revealed Morgan's passing in another touching Instagram post. "I know u my Granddaddy but all da time we spent together make me feel like I'm your third son," he wrote.
There has been no indication as to the cause of death. All condolences are with T.I. and the Harris family as they mourn their loss.
The news of the passing comes weeks after it was announced that T.I. and wife Tiny are expecting another child. The child will be the couple's third together. Tiny revealed the pregnancy via Instagram around Christmas time, saying in a video, "Most of all, thank you for my new heir to the throne, the best Christmas gift he could have gave me ever."
