Boko Haram, a Presidential Election, and the Price of Corruption in Nigeria
The Mouse that Roared
What is to be made of the recent crisis in Nigeria that pitted the outgoing government of Goodluck Jonathan against Boko Haram? How is it that a rebel group consisting of a core of some 7,000 to 10,000 fighters using mostly small arms and bombs has been able to resist, and often rout, the largest army in West Africa? Why has this conflict lasted for close to six years? Why was the presidential election scheduled for February 14 postponed for six weeks, and why in the interim were foreign mercenaries brought in to do battle with homegrown insurgents?
Reap the whirlwind: Climate change and terrorism
The dire predictions contained in the recently released UN climate change panel report are upon us. In Africa, the effects of climate change have stalled — and are reversing — generations of progress made against poverty and hunger.
The sad fate of Mohammed Morsi
History has again repeated itself as farce. This time, the protagonists were Mohammed Morsi and the head of Egypt's armed forces, Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi. On June 22, the General advised the President to take immediate steps to defuse a situation that was quickly spiraling out of control, to initiate a national dialogue, inclusive of all the opposition movements, and to express a commitment to building bridges across a highly fissured political landscape.
Egypt's hip-hop uprising
Egypt has just entered a tunnel darker than the one that, just a year ago, produced Mohammed Morsi and ushered in the short, sad reign of his Freedom and Justice Party. With the military's ouster of the country's only freely elected president, a new era begins with little promise of lasting solutions to the problems that plague the country.
The Salafist Winter: Aiding Post-Conflict Statebuilding in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya
In the aftermath of the Arab Spring, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya are confronted with major structural adjustment challenges that cannot be solved without the help of regional and international donors and private investment. After decades of one-man rule, their economies are in tatters, political institutions are fragile, civic society is underdeveloped, and security has yet to be firmly established. Progressive minded secularists are engaged in an uneven battle with conservative Islamists intent on consolidating power. The situation in all three countries is fluid, dynamic and dangerous. Violence is never far from the surface, and when it flares up regimes are shaken and unable to mount an effective response. These close neighbours are entering new territory with an untested leadership and with an administrative apparatus sorely in need of technical assistance. Only Libya possesses sufficient natural resource wealth that properly managed can help it recover without international financial assistance. The military takeover in Egypt has quieted the street for the moment, it remains to be seen if in its aftermath the country can be put on a sounder political and economic footing. Like Egypt, Tunisia requires substantial foreign aid and investment to right its economy. Security, education, employment, all must figure prominently in national development strategies. Support for secularist parties is essential to balance political power and to avoid the rise of religious tyranny. In all cases, international actors should be supportive of locally generated solutions, and highly attentive to sensitivities about foreign intervention. Outside engagement should be broad-based, and include regional intergovernmental organizations such as the Arab League. Such engagement must be sustained over a sufficient period of time to increase the likelihood that there will not be political and economic backsliding.
Sanctions and Myanmar's "new look" government
Why, after almost 50 years of military rule, has the current Burmese (Myanmarese) strongman, Thein Sein, allowed the wedge of political and economic reform pry open his otherwise authoritarian state?

The recently published balance sheet of Chongqing Steel (2.730, -0.02, -0.73%) (601005.0SH) for the first half of 2014 indicates that the company stills suffered 945 million RMB losses despite a 500 million RMB government subsidy.
In fact, as a listed company under the control of Chongqing municipal government, resorting to government subsidies has long been a routine for Chongqing Steel.
The company's financial data for the past years indicates that it has survived through government subsidies many times, but its performance remains worrying despite the huge government grant.
The semiannual financial statements of the company indicate that it generated 6.025 billion RMB income in the first half of 2014, a YOY drop of 35.18%, including 6.008 billion RMB from its primary business, a YOY drop of 35.21%, suffering total operating losses of 945 million RMB.
Meanwhile, the company charged 508 million RMB government subsidies to its current profit and loss in the first half 2014.
Faced with a recovering semiannual performance of the steel industry, the company still suffers tremendous losses despite government subsidy. "At least, its total operating loss reduced by 15.14% from 1.116 billion RMB in the same period of the last year, but its performance is likely to be worse than now if without the government subsidy," said a Shanghai-based industry analyst.

The transport industry is enormous, and is about more than just 'planes, trains and automobiles'.
It encompasses everything from public transport to freight logistics – the transport industry is responsible for moving people and goods locally, between cities, interstate and internationally.
If you're interested in aviation, rail, road, water, cables, pipelines or space, this is the industry for you.
This industry has seen significant change, with increases in regulations that have improved safety and efficiency, as well as modernisation of technology from trucks to planes to distribution.
Growth across the industry is mostly moderate, with strong forecasted growth in the areas of supply, distribution and procurement, as well as rail construction.
The transport industry is widely varied, but it's all centred around being service based. Workers with people skills, organisational ability and an interest in vehicles and infrastructure can readily find work as long as they're suitably qualified.
Due to the nature of the work involved, many roles require specific licensing (forklifts & crane tickets, locomotive driver license, maritime certifications etc) but these aren't hard to attain if you're driven.


In preparation for the 2008 Annual Business meeting, the ZRA Board of Directors and Bylaws Committee have met and determined the need for several amendments to the current bylaws. We have provided a Justification Summary for the nine (9) proposed amendments and are now soliciting your feedback on each of them. You can find the proposed amendments, Justification Summary and further details on the feedback process under the Governance section of the website.
Comments on the proposed amendments will be accepted now through Friday, August 15, 2008 at the close of business.
Please submit your comments directly to me at nbutler@detroitzoo.org, or by fax at 248-691-4194, by August 15th.

Health Care + Med Tech | Mayo Study Defining The Role Of Unconscious Doctor Bias In Minority Health Care
Health Care + Med Tech
Mayo Study Defining The Role Of Unconscious Doctor Bias In Minority Health Care
Unequal medical outcomes, treatment resulting in trillions of dollars in extra costs.
Do unconscious biases about race, gender and body shape that students bring with them into medical school carry over when they enter their residencies, thus contributing to the huge and costly disparities in the health outcomes of minorities?
That's what prominent Mayo researcher Michelle Van Ryn is trying to find out in leading a new federally funded study meant to build on the results of an earlier nationwide probe documenting how medical school training affects students' biases about racial and sexual minorities and obese patients.
Medical training is being looked at closely as the U.S. government struggles to understand racial disparities in health care. The situation not only carries high social and human costs, but economic ones as well, estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars per year in terms of direct medical expenses and indirect consequences such as lost productivity.
Indeed, these disparities are frequently cited as one of the main contributors to rising health care costs. That's because those in racial and sexual identity minorities consistently score disproportionately higher in morbidity and mortality from chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes and stroke.
Van Ryn, director of Mayo's Research Program on Equity and Inclusion in Health Care, was one of the lead authors of a major longitudinal study tracking med students that wrapped up last year, called the Medical Student Cognitive Habits and Growth Evaluation Study, or CHANGES. Among its findings was that academic training in racial bias, negative role-modeling, interracial contact and diversity climate all predicted changes in implicit racial bias in students between their first and fourth years of medical school.
Now Van Ryn is breaking new ground in following the same cohort of 3,650 medical students from the CHANGES study into their residency years. The new effort, called "the Impact of Residency Factors on Racial, Size & LGBT Bias in Physician Trainees," is the first known study of how attitudes about race, sexual orientation and obesity affects the actual provision of medical care.
The study has so far received $1.74 million in National Institutes of Health funding.
"Physician behavior and decision-making is a key contributor to the extensively documented racial disparities in health care," the Mayo researcher writes in her description of the study. "Despite evidence that physicians are motivated to provide high-quality care to all of their patients, implicit (unconscious) biases may still be expressed subtly and indirectly — for example in physicians' assumptions about patient characteristics that affect treatment recommendations."
These implicit biases, Van Ryn states, can have a "systematic" but largely unintentional impact on treatment and care. Although many medical school and residency training programs have implemented programs in hopes of preventing racial and other biases in trainees, their approaches are scattered and not well evaluated, meaning that little is actually known about how formal training interacts with informal norms and values.
This latest study is seeking to address these knowledge gaps by assessing the impact of the residency experience on implicit and explicit bias in the cohort of 3,650 graduating medical students.
The ultimate hope is that by understanding how new physicians' social beliefs and attitudes are shaped across their medical training—particularly in the final stages in which they prepare for practice—can provide actionable strategies promoting more effective health care for historically stigmatized groups.
And there's much evidence that more effective health care is needed for those groups if costs are to be brought under control. A 2011 study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Disparities Solutions found that between 2003 and 2006, a stunning $1.24 trillion was spent on the combined costs of health inequalities and premature death.
The evidence showed that eliminating health disparities for minorities would have reduced direct medical care expenditures by $229.4 billion for the years 2003-2006, and that eliminating health inequalities for minorities would have reduced indirect costs associated with illness and premature death by more than $1 trillion during those same three years.
It also determined that 30.6 percent of direct medical care expenditures for African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics during that period were excess costs due to health inequalities.

New Year here we Come!!!
2011 is here and I have high hopes for Kaden Collies. We attended a training day which was run by Jamie and Peta Bauers which was great, ironed out a few problems and came home with a list of improvements I would like to make. It is great to see people who have succeeded in trialling like Tony Jackson help others in the sport, as it is not easy. Kate and I are now busy learning as much about sheep as we can, we have put together a small flock of good quaility dorpers, if you are going to use sheep might as well be good ones. Tiny has the job of bringing them up every morning and the improvement in her is amazing, her work has become controlled and calm, she has earnt her spot at Kadens. We are also putting together our breeding programe for the year and am quite excited about the direction in which we are going, will keep you informed. Enjoy the new year!!

Trentham Gardens
Over 1,000 classic vehicles are heading for Trentham Gardens in Staffordshire on Sunday 18th June, for Father's Classic Day Out, including a unique slice of hand-built American motoring – the prototype of the Gwynn Prix.
The Gwynn Prix was the creation of Bob Gwynn; innovative designer of men's clothing and the personal tailor of John Delorean and other leading Detroit automotive executives. Production was planned for 50 per year but the market responded with a complete lack of interest – only the prototype was produced and remained in the hands of its creator until the mid 1990s. Now in the UK, it will doubtless be one of the key exhibits at Father's Classic Day Out.
Over fifty classic car clubs will be attending, including national organisations such as Club Lotus, the Panther Car Club, the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club, along with regional clubs including Stoke on Trent Classic Car Club, North Staffs RS Owners Club and Market Drayton Mini Club.
The Potteries Vintage Classic Car Club will be bringing a number of unusual pre-war cars to the event, including a 1928 Dodge Victory Six, a 1926 Austin Clifton, and a 1930 Ford Model A Coupe. It's display will overlook the Italian lake, so will be well worth a visit for keen photographers!
Class winners and the overall 'Best in Show' prize will be awarded as part of a new awards ceremony for those which attract the most attention on the day. Plus, the 'Car Catwalk' returns after its 2016 debut, giving visitors the chance to find out more about the cars from their owners.
For those restoring their pride and joy, or looking for something to hang on the wall, there will be a number of trade and autojumble stands along with wider-ranging trade stalls for the whole family.
For families, the stunning Italian Gardens and lake make for excellent attractions, along with the garden centre and on-site shops.
Advanced tickets can be purchased direct from Trentham Gardens, at £11.25 for adults and £9.60 for concessions and children. Tickets can be purchased on the door at £15 for adults, £14 for concessions and £10.50 for children.
There are also some trade spaces still on offer. Please call the booking hotline on 07582 486209 or email info@geminievents.co.uk
Free parking for all visitors.

Not too many people know the various aspects of SAP BASIS system. This article will help you to gain a clear picture. Some of the frequently asked SAP BASIS Interview questions are answered below.
The most basic question an audience might ask is, how can the users maintain their roles in SAP systems?
Well, if you want to maintain your role in the SAP system, you can do so by using a transaction code, PFCG.
The next common question is, how to define BASIS R/3?
SAP BASIS is basically a collection of all the R/3 programs which provides an interface to the user. By using this interface, you can initiate the other ABAP/4 programs. The SAP BASIS works like an OS for R/3 and it is enabled in between ABAP/4 code and computer's OS.
How does client administer in SAP systems?
In a work environment, it is not uncanny that multiple people will log in at a single instance in SAP systems. Here is where a client is used. The client will protect data and with the help of this tool, one client with one user cannot view the data of another client with another user.
Is it possible to obtain a list of all the users specified to a particular system?
It is absolutely possible to achieve a list of users who have access to a particular system. All the necessary details will be visible on the table DEVACCESS.
Can you display or delete the locked objects?
You can totally do this by using a T-code. A T-code or transaction code SM12 will help you to delete or display locked objects.
Is it possible to figure out the dialog response time?
Yes, that is also possible! You can find the dialog response time by using the transaction code rz20.
What is the function of T-code SCC3?
You can use the t-code SCC3 for client copying and to transport log analysis. Transaction code SCC3 will help you to monitor the processes of client copying which is running in the background. It will also help you to log the front end processes.
Is it possible to check authorization in user IDs?
Yes, it is possible. You can refer to AGR* tables to check authorization in user IDs.
Which directory will store the central system log?
You can find the entire central system log in LDAP directory.
It is essential to learn SAP BASIS for providing support and prevent irreplaceable damage. Learning a certified course will definitely help you to advance in your career.


You probably have noticed more EV charging stations in parking lots and on the side of the road. We are seeing a major overhaul in the transportation sector. The US is the world's second-largest producer of greenhouse gases with transportation creating the largest share of emissions. Some states, like California, are leading the electrification charge to combat our emission output.
In 2017, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an executive order which set the goal of five million electric vehicles on the state's roads by 2030. With policies like these and advancements in technology, electric vehicles are becoming more popular. As of 2018, over one million electric vehicles have been sold in the US with the most popular being the Nissan Leaf and Tesla Model S. In response, most prominent automakers have begun revealing their electric vehicle (EV) strategies. For example, Ford announced that it will invest $11 billion into EV development by 2022 and General Motors plans to launch at least 20 EV models by 2023.
This $2.5 billion California initiative will also help to bring 250,000 much-needed EV charging stations online. Industry leaders and policymakers are now left with the challenge of ensuring that adequate EV charging stations are in place to meet the expected demand, support a competitive marketplace, maintain energy affordability, and preserve the reliability of the electric grid.
Simply put, the demand for EV charging stations is at an all-time high and infrastructure owners and operators will not be able to expand quickly enough or maintain existing stations without proper project management software.
EV infrastructure companies, in some cases, are going to need to double or triple their network footprint in the immediate future to meet demand. The challenge ahead includes adding new stations in existing locations, expanding into new markets, and maintaining current stations.
Using email, spreadsheets, and scattered notes to track these projects is not an adequate process and will lead to reduced revenue, increased maintenance downtime, and more inefficiencies. Most importantly, you are much less likely to meet aggressive growth targets for deploying new, exciting technology — EV charging stations — if you're stuck using antiquated tools like spreadsheets to track your projects.
Speed to revenue is affected when you are using inadequate tools for project management. EV charging stations can run ads for revenue or charge users per kilowatt-hour (kWh). When a station is down for maintenance companies lose money. If you cannot expand fast enough the competition is going to take advantage of the opportunities you're missing. To avoid this catastrophe and meet your aggressive targets, you need an organized system for managing projects.
Be the changemaker EV charging needs. Use industry-leading project management software.
Sitetracker can help improve processes, reporting, forecasting, and speed to revenue. Sitetracker will improve internal communication and allow you to operate in a single source of truth. By streamlining deployment processes with Sitetracker, your EV infrastructure company can position themselves as industry leaders, helping to differentiate you when bidding for new contracts.

Event Review | Ambassador Briefing
07-09-20 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
« Event Review | Resetting China's Growth Model
Member Event | Offline Seminar – Hi Touch »
The webinar provided insight into the Australia-China bilateral relationship, the respective countries' COVID-19 situation, and the changes occurring in China's economy.
This event was hosted by Graham Fletcher (Australian Ambassador to the People's Republic of China), with commentary from Lachlan Crews (Economic Minister-Counsellor at the Australian Embassy) and Paul Cheyne (Trade and Investment Commissioner at Australian Embassy in Beijing).
This briefing was given under the Chatham House rule which means information disclosed may be reported by those present, but the source of that information may not be explicitly or implicitly identified.
Key Outtakes:
China Macro economy
China's economy continues to recover from the sudden contraction in activity over the period of the COVID outbreak, most noticeable in February, but the recovery is uneven. May data tells us industrial profits are up 6% year on year, but still down for 2020. Private firms and foreign companies' profits have improved. Private sector estimates based on 'high-frequency data' suggest the economy is at about 90 per cent of normal activity.
Purchasing Managers Indexes, which give a month-on-month snapshot of expected business conditions, were better than expected in June. The strength comes primarily from domestic activity. Caixin services PMI was 58.4, quite a strong reading.
While the PMI reading for new export orders improved in June compared to May, it represents continued contraction (47). Trade continues to be a weak point for demand in China.
Travel over the Dragon Boat holiday was down 69% compared to last year.
Bilateral trade remains relatively strong, all things considered. Services trade (education and tourism) has been heavily impacted by COVID-19 control measures.
Two-way trade in goods in the first five months of 2020 grew by 0.3% (US$65 billion). Chinese goods imports from Australia declined for the first time in May, reversing positive growth in the first four months of the year.
Resources have performed well through the COVID-19 crisis. China's total coal imports from Australia between January and May 2020 remained up 63% y-o-y at 48 million tonnes. Australia remains China's major supplier of iron ore, accounting for 65% of China's imports, which are up 5% by volume and 12% by value y-o-y. LNG imports are also up by volume, but down by value with low global energy prices.
Increased infrastructure spending in China should drive continued strong demand for Australian commodities.
We have also seen continued strong demand for Australian agriculture products. For example, beef exports to China to May 2020 have increased 7.3% y-o-y. On 3 July the first shipment of 1,785 live cattle from Australia arrived at Macun Port, Hainan Province. The cattle were imported with zero tariff under ChAFTA.
Premier Li Keqiang announced in May that street vending would become a significant part of China's economic recovery
Major tech platforms including WeChat, Alipay, and e-commerce platforms JD.com and Suning have announced plans to help street vendors and smaller retailers recover from the impact of COVID-19.
The "night economy" is surging as a new growth driver in post-COVID-19 China. Now, as people return to the streets and markets all over China, shopping habits are shifting. According to data released by WeChat in June, 8pm to 6am have become the most active business hours for small businesses in China.
E-commerce and social media continue to dominate sales Livestreaming has also become one of the most effective marketing tools in China.
According to China's "daily life-services" platform Meituan, Generation Z (people born post-1995) are becoming increasingly health-conscious with purchases focused on health and well-being products and services
Favourite activities according to key word searches include yoga, Traditional Chinese Medicine, massage and foot therapy
Eating habits are also changing with reports showing that orders for "light and nutritious food" by post-95 consumers have increased by 45.6% year-on-year.
China is also witnessing strong ongoing demand for online education, a pre-existing trend but accelerated by the pandemic. One of China's giant online educators, Zuoyebang (over 800 million registered users), recently announced the completion of Series E funding of $750 million. Alibaba has also launched Taobao Education
In order to support even greater and more widespread use of digital health services, Beijing has adopted measures allowing patients to seek reimbursement for qualified online medical consultations. WeDoctor alone saw around 140 million visits to its platforms between February and April. The health sector is one where Australian firms have significant opportunities for collaboration.

Louis Charles Richard Duncombe-Jewell (10 September 1866 – 1947), born Louis Charles Richard Jewell, was a soldier, special war correspondent of The Times and The Morning Post, sportsman and sometimes poet. He was a champion of the Cornish language, having been born at Liskeard in Cornwall. He assumed the additional surname Duncombe in accordance with his grandmother's will in 1895. His parents were members of the Plymouth Brethren, which when they moved to South London brought him into contact with Aleister Crowley. The two remained lifelong associates. Duncombe-Jewell lived at Crowley's Scottish residence 'Boleskine' for several years from 1903. He later converted to Catholicism.

Military service
Formerly a Lieutenant in the 3rd Volunteer Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, he represented The Times in Spain during the rumours of an impending Carlist rising in 1898–99, and served as a Special War Correspondent for the Morning Post newspaper in South Africa, the same paper that also employed Winston Churchill, with the 3rd Division South African Field Force.

Writing career
Duncombe-Jewell was a noted historian, novelist and verse-writer, and made numerous contributions to the Pall Mall Gazette, and many other publications of the period. He was editor of Armorial Cornwall, founder and Hon. Sec. Celtic-Cornish Society, and leader of the Cornish Language Movement. He was also an expert in the works of occultist, Aleister Crowley who spent some time in Cornwall.

Interest in Cornish Nationalism
During the 1890s, Duncombe-Jewell flirted with the Neo-Jacobite Revival. He wrote a piece on the movement for The Albemarle, which was critical of the more political Legitimist Jacobite League of Great Britain and Ireland, but favourable towards the more artistic Order of White Rose.

In 1901 he founded the Cornish Celtic Society (), and at the Pan Celtic Congress of 1901 made a spirited plea for recognition of Cornwall as a Celtic nation.

He was a flamboyant individual who appeared at the 1902 Bangor Eisteddfod as the Cornish delegate sporting a traditional Cornish costume of his own design. He was made a bard by the Welsh Gorsedd in 1904 and took the bardic name of Bardd Glas (the Blue Bard) because he was clad from his tights to his cap in this colour. Also involved with Cowethas Kelto Kernuak was Henry Jenner who later retired to Cornwall following a distinguished career as librarian at the British Museum. Together with Jenner, he was jointly responsible for Cornwall gaining its acceptance as a Celtic nation by the Pan Celtic Congress of 1904. Later Jenner helped found the Cornish Gorseth.

The Cowethas Kelto Kernuak organisation petered out, when in 1903, Duncombe Jewell left Cornwall to live at Boleskine near Loch Ness and the colourful and enigmatic Bardd Glas progressively turned his attention away from Cornish Celtic culture to Welsh.

United States Indicts 10 Mafia Suspects
Acting Boss of Bonanno organized crime family and 9 other members of La Cosa Nostra indicted for racketeering and related charges
NEW YORK — Following an investigation led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York working jointly with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), U.S. Department of State's Diplomatic Security Service, the New York City Police Department (NYPD), and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY), 10 individuals are being charges with racketeering and other offenses in connection with the activities of the organized crime families of La Cosa Nostra.
The indictment charges eight members of the Bonanno Family: Acting Boss Joseph Cammarano, Jr., Consigliere John Zancocchio, Joseph Sabella, George Tropiano, Albert Armetta, Domenick Miniero, Joseph Santapaolo, and Simone Esposito, all with with racketeering conspiracy involving a wide range of crimes, including extortion, loansharking, wire and mail fraud, narcotics distribution, and conspiracy to commit murder. Genovese Family member Ernest Montevecchi is charged with participating in that conspiracy as well. Several of the defendants and Luchese Family member Eugene Castelle are charged with conspiracy to commit extortion. Armetta is additionally charged with assault resulting in serious bodily injury in aid of racketeering, and aiding and abetting the same.
"The members of this criminal organization have pending charges from drug dealing and fraud to loansharking and conspiracy to commit murder," said Angel M. Melendez, special agent in charge of HSI New York. "HSI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and dismantle criminal organization like La Cosa Nostra and the Bonanno family."
Of the 10 defendants charged in the indictment, nine were taken into federal custody Friday. Santapaolo was presented this morning before a United States Magistrate Judge in the Middle District of Pennsylvania. The rest of the defendants will be presented before United States Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses later today. The case has been assigned to United States District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein.
As alleged in the indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court, La Cosa Nostra ("LCN"), also known as the "Mob" or the "Mafia," operates through entities known as "Families." In the New York City area, there are five LCN Families, namely, the Bonanno Family, the Genovese Family, the Luchese Family, the Colombo Family, and the Gambino Family. Members and associates of one La Cosa Nostra family at times work together with other La Cosa Nostra families in jointly undertaken criminal ventures.
The Bonanno Family, like other LCN Families, operates through a group of individuals known as "crews," each of which are led by a "capo" or "captain." The crews are composed of "made" members, called "soldiers," and trusted non-members called "associates." Above the Capos are the highest-ranking members – the Boss or Acting Boss, the Underboss, and the Consigliere, or counselor – who oversee the Family.
At times relevant to the indictment, the defendants held the following positions with their respective LCN Families: Cammarano was a captain and the Acting Boss of the Bonanno Family; Zancocchio was a captain and the Consigliere of the Bonanno Family; Sabella was a captain of the Bonanno Family; Tropiano was a soldier and an acting captain of the Bonanno Family; Esposito was the Consigliere of the Bonanno Family; Miniero, Santapaolo, and Armetta were soldiers in the Bonanno Family; Montevecchi was a soldier in the Genovese Family; and Castelle was a soldier in the Luchese Family.
Count One of the indictment charges Cammarano, Zancocchio, Sabella, Tropiano, Armetta, Miniero, Santapaolo, Esposito, and Montevecchi with participating in a racketeering conspiracy. Count Two charges Armetta with assault resulting in serious bodily injury in aid of racketeering, and aiding and abetting the same. Count Three charges Cammarano, Zancocchio, Sabella, Tropiano, Miniero, and Castelle with extortion conspiracy.
Below is a chart containing the names, ages, residences, charges, and maximum penalties for the defendants. The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendants will be determined by the judge. The charges contained in the indictment are merely allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

FREGE GRUNDGESETZE PDF
Childhood —69 [ edit ] Frege was born in in Wismar , Mecklenburg-Schwerin today part of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Frege studied at a grammar school in Wismar and graduated in Studies at University —74 [ edit ] Frege matriculated at the University of Jena in the spring of as a citizen of the North German Confederation. In the four semesters of his studies he attended approximately twenty courses of lectures, most of them on mathematics and physics. His most important teacher was Ernst Karl Abbe —; physicist, mathematician, and inventor. Abbe gave lectures on theory of gravity, galvanism and electrodynamics, complex analysis theory of functions of a complex variable, applications of physics, selected divisions of mechanics, and mechanics of solids.

Indeed, for each condition defined above, the concepts that satisfy the condition are all pairwise equinumerous to one another. This extension contains all the concepts that satisfy Condition 0 above, and so the number of all such concepts is 0. Frege, however, had a deep idea about how to do this. Note that the last conjunct is true because there is exactly 1 object namely, Bertrand Russell that falls under the concept author of Principia Mathematica other than Whitehead.
Using this definition as a basis, Frege later derived many important theorems of number theory. Philosophers appreciated the importance of this work only relatively recently C.
Parsons , Smiley , Wright , and Boolos , , It was recently shown by R. Their different conceptions of logic helps to explain why these two philosophers came to such different conclusions. In particular: What resources or laws did Kant and Frege both consider to be logical? Did Kant and Frege agree about the content and subject matter of logic? An answer to the first question sets the stage for answering the second. The debate over which resources do and do not require an appeal to intuition is an important one.
Frege continued a trend started by Bolzano , who eliminated the appeal to intuition in the proof of the Intermediate Value Theorem in the calculus which in its simplest form asserts that a continuous function having both positive and negative values must cross the origin. Bolzano proved this theorem from the definition of continuity, which had recently been given in terms similar to the definition of a limit see Coffa , But appeal to a graph involves an appeal to intuition, and both Bolzano and Frege saw such appeals to intuition as potentially introducing logical gaps into a proof.
Frege dedicated himself to the idea of eliminating appeals to intuition in the proofs of the basic propositions of arithmetic. The Rule of Substitution allows one to substitute complex formulas for free second-order variables in logical theorems to produce new logical theorems.
Thus, the Comprehension Principle for Concepts asserts the existence of a concept corresponding to every expressible condition on objects. And Kant takes the laws of logic to be normative and prescriptive something one can get wrong , and not just descriptive , 16 ; they provide constitutive norms of thought MacFarlane , 35; Tolley By contrast, Frege rejects the idea that logic is a purely formal enterprise MacFarlane , 29; Linnebo , He took logic to have its own unique subject matter, which included not only facts about concepts concerning negation, subsumption, etc.
Frege , [, ] says: Just as the concept point belongs to geometry, so logic, too, has its own concepts and relations; and it is only in virtue of this that it can have a content. Toward what is thus proper to it, its relation is not at all formal. No science is completely formal; but even gravitational mechanics is formal to a certain degree, in so far as optical and chemical properties are all the same to it. There is some question, however, as to the extent to which Frege took logic to provide constitutive norms of thought.
Linnebo suggests that Frege eventually rejected this idea. But many Frege scholars are convinced that Frege took the laws of logic to provide constitutive norms of thought MacFarlane , Taschek , Steinberger MacFarlane, in particular, argues that Kant and Frege may have agreed that one of the most important characteristics of logic is its generality, and that this generality consists in the fact that it provides normative rules and prescriptions.
So, though they may differ as to which principles are logical, there may be at least one point of reconciliation concerning how Kant and Frege conceived of logic. After all, modern logicians and philosophers of logic have not yet come to agreement about the proper conception of logic. It is important to recognize just how much Frege took himself to be focusing on the content, as opposed to the form, of thoughts.
Dudman trans. Frege was at least as interested in formalizing the content of reasoning as he was in formulating the rules for deriving a given thought from some group of thoughts. Frege would not have regarded the logical axioms of his formal systems as axiom schemata, i.
Nor would he have agreed that the logical axioms of his system were uninterpreted sentences. We have seen that ambiguity simply has to be rejected … Instead, Frege thought that his logical axioms are a fundamental truths governing negation, conditionalization, quantification, identity, and description, and b principles from which other such fundamental truths could be derived.
Indeed, even though Frege sometimes introduces methods for abbreviating these truths, he takes great pains to insist that these abbreviations are to be understood in terms of the full content being expressed.
Blanchette nicely shows, both in the entry on the Frege-Hilbert controversy and in her book , Ch. The reader should pursue these works for a more detailed explanation and nuanced discussion of the disagreement. One can appreciate how Frege and Hilbert might have failed to engage with one another by considering a simple analogy.
So, for Frege, this would clearly be a case of logical consequence. This analogy might help one to see how Frege and Hilbert might differ in their approach to questions of consistency and interpretation. This issue is the subject of the first half of Blanchette To see what is at stake, we vary the example from the one used in Blanchette Her answer Chapter 4 is that the formal representation of the arithmetic law has to be self-evidently logically equivalent to a good analysis of the original.
The reader is directed to her work for discussion of this important point. His philosophy of language has had just as much, if not more, impact than his contributions to logic and mathematics.
In this paper, Frege considered two puzzles about language and noticed, in each case, that one cannot account for the meaningfulness or logical behavior of certain sentences simply on the basis of the denotations of the terms names and descriptions in the sentence. One puzzle concerned identity statements and the other concerned sentences with subordinate clauses such as propositional attitude reports.
To solve these puzzles, Frege suggested that the terms of a language have both a sense and a denotation, i. This idea has inspired research in the field for over a century and we discuss it in what follows. The morning star is identical to the evening star. Mark Twain is Samuel Clemens. In the latter cases, you have to do some arithmetical work or astronomical investigation to learn the truth of these identity claims.
A propositional attitude is a psychological relation between a person and a proposition. Belief, desire, intention, discovery, knowledge, etc.

Basic Law V also correctly implies the Principle of Extensionality. This principle asserts that if two extensions have the same members, they are identical. Frege quickly added an Appendix to the second volume, describing two distinct ways of deriving a contradiction from Basic Law V. He also suggested a way of repairing Law V, but Quine later showed that such a repair was disastrous, since it would force the domain of objects to contain at most one object. In the next subsections, we describe the two ways of deriving a contradiction from Basic Law V that Frege described in the Appendix to Gg.

All municipal ITS projects are coordinated by the Project Management Office (PMO), which took up operations at Hamburger Hochbahn AG in January 2017. Tasked with providing an overview of the projects and developments within the ITS Strategy, the PMO schedules and organises overarching projects, initiates new ideas, manages communication between various public and private bodies, and supports ITS projects as a whole. Additionally, the PMO manages ITS-related subsidies (procurement, counselling and applications), is a point of contact for third parties (businesses and scientific institutions), and even represents the city of Hamburg on a number of national and international boards and stakeholder groups.
The PMO leads, supervises and evaluates the dialogue with business representatives, information centres and research facilities concerning ITS topics and projects. If applicable, first project ideas are devised and submitted to potential responsible bodies within the administration.

NFLPA approves HGH testing for 2014
NEW YORK -- Hours after the players' union voted Friday to accept an NFL proposal on drug policy changes that included HGH testing, the league says it is not a done deal.
Player representatives to the union voted Friday to implement testing for human growth hormone for the 2014 NFL season. HGH testing was originally agreed upon in 2011, but the players have balked at the science in the testing and the appeals process for positive tests.
They also approved a league proposal to significantly increase the threshold for positive marijuana tests. Some players have complained that the NFL threshold of 15 nanograms per milliliter is so low that anyone within the vicinity of people smoking marijuana could test positive. The threshold has been increased to 35 ng/ml.
But league spokesman Greg Aiello told ESPN Senior NFL Analyst Chris Mortensen that "there continue to be significant unresolved issues" with the drug policy. With no agreement in place Saturday afternoon, suspendedBroncoswide receiverWes Welker and Cowboys cornerbackOrlando Scandrick-- who would be eligible to return to their teams once an agreement is finalized, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter -- were not able to be added to their teams' rosters for Week 2.
Welker -- whose suspension would be lifted with the new agreement -- was not on the Broncos' active roster, according to the Denver Post.
The NFLPA released a statement earlier Saturday that said: "We hope to have final agreements, including effective date for players with adjusted discipline, very soon.''
Overall changes are retroactive for players suspended under previous policies, as well as for those in the appeal process.
Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon's yearlong suspension has been reduced to 10 games, a source told Schefter.
Welker was suspended for amphetamine use in the offseason, but punishment for that is being switched from the performance enhancers policy to the substance abuse program -- except for in-season violations.
A two-game suspension will be issued for a player convicted of driving under the influence. But an NFL proposal to immediately suspend a player, owner, coach, team executive or league employee for a DUI arrest was rejected by the union.
Both sides agreed to arbitration for appeals under the substance abuse and the PED policies. The NFL and NFL Players Association will hire between three and five arbitrators.
They also will retain independent investigators to review cases in which player confidentiality under the drug policy has been breached. Punishment for leaks could range up to $500,000 and/or termination of a job.
"This is an historic moment for our players and our league," NFLPA President Eric Winston said. "We have collectively bargained drug policies that will keep the game clean and safe, but also provide our players with an unprecedented level of fairness and transparency."

Home Elections Ben Carson suggests First Amendment is for Christians first, others second
Ben Carson suggests First Amendment is for Christians first, others second
9/9/15 11:06am by Jon Green 22
Earlier, I asked if Ben Carson was OK. And despite (or perhaps because of) his continued rise in the polls, I still have my doubts. Appearing on The Kelly File last night, Carson appeared to be genuinely confused about the concept of religious freedom, suggesting that because Christians founded America (they didn't), Christians get first dibs on First Amendment protections.
As Carson said:
Ben Carson, via Gage Skidmore / Wikimedia Commons
This is a Judeo-Christian nation, in the sense that a lot of our values are based on a Judeo-Christian faith…There are a substantial number of people who support traditional marriage, and I'm one of them…
…This is where some intellect needs to take place. Our legislators need to sit down and ask themselves whether the rights of all Americans are protected. It requires a little bit of effort.
Carson also insisted that he's all for religious freedom — he isn't about to force his way of life on anyone else so long as they don't force him to do the same.
Except he is. That's exactly what Kim Davis's defenders are doing — forcing their way of life on those who don't agree with them, in direct violation of the Supreme Court, their state governments and the general public. You can say whatever you want about "the rights of all Americans," but if you're defending a public official who denied Americans their rights due to her religious beliefs, you're elevating her beliefs above those of everyone else.
As Kelly pointed out those who would defend Davis have set up an all-too-slippery slope in redefining religious freedom as being able to not do anything you don't want to do no matter what, regardless as to your job's requirements and regardless as to your role as a public official. In this framework, Catholic officials could refuse to process divorces, and Muslim or Jewish officials could refuse to issue marriage licenses to interfaith couples.
By conjuring up the image of the Founders as Christian missionaries founding American in the name of Jesus, using their supposed devotion to the faith as the inspiration for the First Amendment, Carson makes plain what has been thus far only implied by religious conservatives since the Obergefell ruling. As I've written before, these concerns over religious freedom have nothing to do with religious freedom and everything to do with Christian privilege. If they didn't, Carson would have no problem with public officials of other faiths refusing to act in accordance with their duties and denying him what would otherwise be noncontroversial rights. But he — and the rest of Kim Davis's defenders — don't want to go there. They just want to stay at the top of the cultural hierarchy.
Faced with this objection from Kelly, Carson was (predictably) stumped. Sounds like "some intellect needs to take place," whatever that means.

Larry Linn says:
Social commentator and former alter-boy George Carlin sums it up, "Think
about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man
living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And
the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.
And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and
smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and
suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of
time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs
money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just
can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes,
and they always need a little more."
"This nation of ours was not founded on Christian principles."
"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind
and unfits it for every noble enterprise."— James Madison, letter to William
Bradford, 1771

Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to
terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit."- Thomas

interest in religion except to manipulate it." – Rev. Billy Graham,

Butch1 says:
There have been same sex "blessings" in the catholic church in the 6th-7th centuries documented. So these revisionists are full of it.
I think you may be right. He needs to be checked to see if there is something organically wrong with his brain. He is definitely NOT making any sense. I'm glad he's not doing any surgery.
There is definitely something wrong with his thinking process and I think his religion has had a major influence with it.
How many theocrats are the republicans running this year? They either have dim-wits, dynasty-dim-wits or theocratic-dimwits. Not a lot from which to choose in their clown car.
dcinsider says:
So many christians, so few lions.
Harry R. Sohl says:
No, we get to shoot them.
slavdude says:
Yeah! Christians get the right to impose themselves on everyone else, and we get to walk around with weapons plainly in view!
(Agreeing with you here, of course.)
Something I said to my wife the other day: "Carson is just a few decibels away from being that crazy guy who wanders public parks mumbling incoherently to himself."
crawdaddy says:
I don't care if he went to an Ivy League School, he is an idiot today and he was an idiot 4 years ago. He is clueless as to how this country even runs. And one other thing I love to ask: how many white republicans let him operate on their child's brain? If you talking upper middle class white republicans – the answer is – I am certain – zero. Can't operate on little Johnny but they are fine with him being president.
Like I keep saying, I still think there's something medically wrong with Carson. He sounds nothing like he did four years ago and sounds even less like the bright and verbally articulate guy I remember seeing on TV years before that. He seems now to struggle to find the words to say what he means to say and his emotional affect has become robotic, disengaged, and self-absorbed. While I have always disagreed with his politics, he didn't used to sound and look like he does now. But anyway…
It should be obvious to any with critical thinking capabilities that what Carson is advocating is indeed Christian privilege — but let's be clear here: He means only fundamentalist/evangelical Christians.
In the 1960s, many progressive Christian churches opposed the Vietnam war and sought conscience exemptions for their followers. Many of those followers found themselves in jail for resisting the draft and the Sanctuary movement was constantly under assault from the law — forms of oppression supported by the fundamentalist whose position it was that America was supposed to conquer and convert other nations. Same thing when African Americans sought civil rights protections — it was the fundamentalists who cited their own Bible as justification for continued legal oppression, segregation, and racial prejudice, even though the progressive Christians could easily point to far more tolerant, compassionate teachings and commands from that Jesus fellow.
In the 1970s and with increasing numbers in the decades following, progressive Christian churches began to embrace and welcome gay people. First into their congregations and later even solemnizing relationships in marriage ceremonies. Meanwhile the fundamentalists continued to insist on the outright legal persecution of gays and lesbians, and fought tooth-and-nail to keep their sodomy laws.
In the 2000s, when many progressive Christian churches opposed the Bush/Cheney wars, a number of the bloodthirsty fundamentalist ones called on the government to rescind the progressive Churches' tax exempt status. But the political lobbying on the part of the right-wing religious types was, of course, off limits.
"Religious liberty for me, but not for thee" is now and always has been the credo of the fundamentalist, imperialistic form of Christianity. Then, when they gain primacy over all other systems of belief (including the rejection of organized religion), they start fighting among themselves as to which is the One True Religion.
Carson isn't doing anything the rest of the fundies are: He's saying his system of beliefs rises to the level of Constitutional protections and legal enforcement, but nobody else's does. Opposition to LGBT rights and women's rights are commonly fundamentalist Christian beliefs — so that apparently deserves accommodation. But if you're a progressive/liberal Christian and point to your beliefs and practices as reasons for supporting LGBT and women's rights? No accommodation there.
Carson and those who insist the United States was 'founded on Judeo-Christian principles' is full of it as well for a couple reasons.
One: Jews were most certainly not any part of the original founding leadership. The 'Judeo' part was never more than tacked on, and Jews did suffer from rather systematic antisemitic oppression right from the start. It didn't really change until after WWII.
Two: There was, at the time of America's founding, a significant 'Deist' movement — one where its followers did explicitly believe in a monotheistic deity, but they threw away nearly everything associated with Christianity itself, including the Bible which was deemed to have been corrupted by the hands and minds of selfish, self-serving men. Basically, it was a belief that God did cause the cosmos to come into being, then left everything alone to develop naturally. It's a framework that could easily accept concepts like evolution and a universe billions of years old.
And thirdly, if one were even to accept this 'founded on Judeo-Christian principles' stuff, it is a tacit admission that the indigenous peoples who were living in this hemisphere before the Europeans showed up were conquered and subjected to cultural, religious, and at times literal genocide.
But yes, you're right: Christianity itself became so fractured over the centuries, its separate sects argued quite vehemently that only THEIR version was true Christianity and nobody else was. We further see this in the assertions of some of the more radical fundamentalist Christian sects in that they claim it is a requirement not just of their variant version, but Christianity itself that requires them to believe and behave according to bigoted notions. As I've pointed out a number of times now, dating back as early as the 1970s, there were progressive Christian churches performing same-sex marriage solemnization ceremonies. But their progressive, inclusive, tolerant Christian beliefs didn't rise to the level of being respected by or enforced by the law.
Thus even the '-Christian' part of Judeo-Christian isn't anything like inclusive of all the various forms of Christianity. Just the fundamentalist parts. And when they start getting their way, being permitted to force others through civil law to follow their beliefs, history shows that in time, they eventually start squabbling among themselves (sometimes to the point of actual war) as to whose practices get to be enforced in their theocratic system of government.
Jefferson really liked John Locke. And Locke had this point:
(3) Coercing religious uniformity would lead to more social disorder than allowing diversity.[20] (wiki)
Locke was also a Christian but understood how one sect could dominate another. All three of his points are interesting, especially Today–good homework for us all. The "Religious Liberties" movement is an attack on The First Amendment…and The First Amendment ain't broke and shouldn't be fixed by anyone or polluted by Carson.
marknc says:
Perfectly stated. As far as I'm concerned, any "Christian" who accepts what Carson says is not an actual Christian.
Ben is one of those people I refer to as "people with no friends." Really, he needs someone close to him to take him by the arm and stop him from embarrassing himself. Why do his friends, if he has any, leave him twisting in the wind like this. It's like when a demented person tries to leave the house with his underpants over his trousers. Someone needs to kindly stop him.
LasloPratt says:
Actually, the foundation of our laws is rooted in the Code of Hammurabi. So Babylonians should get extra First Amendment protections.
That's fair, I guess, if we can get preference with "2nd Amendment solutions."
MoonDragon says:
Is it for all Christians, or only the correct type of Christians. I know a lot of people who maintain that Catholics, Mormons, and Unitarians don't qualify. And they aren't too sure about Episcopalians, Methodists, and Lutherans. Presbyterians are on the cusp, too.
People like Ben Carson and Kim Davis are terribly confused about one thing – the European settlers of this country may have been Christian (such as the Puritans), but our government is not.
The future states had set up state religions. When it came time form the union, it was decided that there would be no state religion. Why? The former colonies all had conflicting state religions and it was simply not practical for the union to accommodate these various state religions. As a condition of joining the union, these future states were required to drop their state religions. Their governments were required to conform to the national model of accommodating religions, but not establishing a government based on any one religion.
People like Carson are confusing the settlers with the founders. It's a ridiculous mistake to make; they've forgotten, or never learned, the history of the country.
Anyone who can't get this right, no matter what the reason, is not qualified to run for any office of consequence (and some might argue, even the inconsequential ones). In the case of Ben Carson, I really think he is just not reasoning right. Whether that's because of dementia or some other illness, or he's just plain dumb, does not really matter. He's not qualified if he does not know one of the basic elements of this country's founding.
Immortal Illumined says:
"The Christian god can easily be pictured as virtually the same god as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites." -Thomas Jefferson
retiredeng says:
Carson really is that ignorant of our country's Constitution. And he's not alone.

Josef Urban (* 17. Juni 1899 in Prag; † 2. September 1968) war ein tschechoslowakischer Ringer.

Werdegang
Josef Urban begann in Prag mit dem Ringen. Kurz nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg trat er in die Polizei ein und startete für den Polizei-Sportverein ("AFK Stráže bezpečnosti") Prag, vorher war er für den Athletenklub "Nusle" Prag gestartet. Mitte der 1920er Jahre war er der beste tschechoslowakische Ringer im Schwergewicht im griech.-römischen Stil. 1925 gewann er zum ersten Mal die tschechoslowakische Meisterschaft im Schwergewicht und gab bei der Europameisterschaft 1926 in Riga seinen Einstand bei einer internationalen Meisterschaft. Hinter dem deutschen Meister Georg Gehring belegte er dabei den 2. Platz und platzierte sich dabei immerhin vor dem schwedischen Meister Johan Richthoff.

Auch ein Jahr später, bei der Europameisterschaft 1927 in Budapest, gewann Josef Urban eine Medaille. Er kam auf den dritten Platz. Bei den Olympischen Spielen 1928 in Amsterdam gelangen ihm drei Siege. Doch reichten diese Siege nur zum 5. Platz, da er, etwas unerwartet, dem Österreicher Eugen Wiesberger senior unterlag. Die zweite Niederlage in diesem Turnier gegen den Schweden Rudolf Svensson war dagegen erwartungsgemäß.

Gegen Svensson verlor er auch bei der Europameisterschaft 1929 in Dortmund. Er erreichte aber trotzdem mit drei Siegen den 3. Platz. Zu keiner Medaille reichte es für ihn bei der Europameisterschaft 1930 in Stockholm. Nach Niederlagen gegen Georg Gehring und Johan Richthoff landete er auf dem 4. Platz. Auch bei der Europameisterschaft 1931 im heimischen Prag kam Josef Urban nicht in die Medaillenränge.

Der größte Erfolg seiner Laufbahn gelang ihm 1932 bei den Olympischen Spielen 1932 in Los Angeles. Mit einem überraschenden Sieg über den Deutschen Georg Gehring, der vorher schon den schwedischen Favoriten Carl Westergren besiegt hatte, gewann er die Silbermedaille und veranlasste den Sturz Gehrings vom vermeintlichen Olympiasieger auf den 4. Platz. Nach diesem Turnier startete Josef Urban bei keinen weiteren internationalen Meisterschaften mehr.
