We have but one regret that we cannot Here give credit adequately to the cub reporters whose nightly efforts make it possible. Because of the fact that commencement this year is to he combined with the Centennial Celebration the alumni association voted last june that All classes should hold reunions in 1920. The columns of the weekly student will assist the leading spirits of each class to Corral the old gang for the Roundup at Blooming ton May 30th to june 4th.

High school credits in foreign Ian gauges will no longer be one of the Entrance requirements for freshman at Purdue University. Instead More credit in vocational work May be submitted according to action taken at the last meeting of the Board of trustees and announced by president w. E. Stone. It also was decided by the Board that students will be admitted no longer with Quot conditions Quot which Means that freshmen who have some work from High school to make up cannot enter the University unless this work is made up beforehand Purdue s Entrance requirements now briefly include these features that the entrant be a graduate of a commissioned High school or approved vocational school of Indiana or any other school of equal standing. He must have completed 15 units of High school work of which seven must be submitted in English history mathematics and science and the remaining eight made up from English foreign language history mathematics natural or social science or five credits instead of the former one and a half credits May be submitted in vocational subjects from approved vocational schools candidates for engineering schools must have had advanced algebra and Flolid attend supper major o Brien gives talk to Quot a workers. The student body and the Cen Tei Mial Celebration the announcement has been made from the office of the president that the University Calendar has been modified to make it possible for the entire student body and the faculty to be present throughout the week of commencement festivities with which Indiana will celebrate her one Hundredth birthday on the Campus May 30th to june 4th. As originally published in the Catalon commencement was to be on wednesday Jime 9th, with the Spring semester ending saturday june 5th. In order that Iio hardship would be imposed by requiring the student i cd to remain commencement has been i ranged to Friday june 4th, so that the entire week of eel vibration will be Over by the Date originally designated for the end of the week of final examinations. The authorities have recognized that personal finances and personal appointments might conflict with the plans for the biggest commencement week in the University s history and they have come More than half Way to remove any such difficult-ie.= by setting commencement earlier. Pull Are not yet forthcoming but it is understood that the final examinations will be held before the Centennial week begins so that no electrons or microbes verbs parsimonious or dates historical May interfere with a full participation in the festivities of the occasion. It is probable that at nine o clock each morning students will meet in alphabetical sections for a Roll Call which will make it possible to announce fully each Day s program with emphasis on the events in which the student body will participate As such. The Centennial committee in announcing the tentative program for the Celebration has invited suggestions. It reads like a big week a Quot Cir a a us baseball pageant bands parades dinners dances the request for suggestions should bring Forth ideas that will result in a never to be forgotten week that will immortalize for generations to come the Indiana spirit of 1920. About a Hundred men attended the bean supper Given by the y. M. C. A thursday evening in the Reserve room of the cafeteria. The purpose of the supper was to bring together the men who Are working in the various departments in order that they might become better acquainted. Major r. E. O Brien who was the guest of the evening gave an interesting talk on the work of the Quot a Quot during the War in this country and abroad. He commended the work of the association very highly and explained in an Able manner the criticism both pro and con which the Quot a Quot received during the War. Secretary w. E. Uphaus also gave a Short self government coeds of Ohio state regulate own affairs. Secretary Cravens Quot fourteen Points Quot concluded from Page one All women registered As students in Ohio state University Are members of the women s student Council which is an association installed to regulate All matters pertaining to the student life of its members which do not fall under the immediate jurisdiction of the faculty. Its aim is to further in every Way the spirit of Unity of the women of the University to increase their sense of responsibility toward each other and to be a medium by which the social Standard of the University can be made and kept High. It is composed of an executive an advisory Board and a judicial department. The judicial Power of this association concerns All matters regarding the conduct of women students in their College life that Are not academic or Are not reserved to the jurisdiction of the faculty and president. It does not in any Way annul or limit the former right of the student to Appeal to the Dean of women and to the president in discipline cases but in the cases of conduct serious enough to involve the possibility of expulsion or suspension from the College the women s Council May act by presenting a recommendation from the executive Board to the Dean and to the president of the University. Every organized House has a House president an advisory committee a House representative on the Board of Street presidents and such other officers and committees As May be deemed necessary. The House president is elected by the girls in the House. She holds House meetings once a month and acts with the advisory committee in enforcing the rules. The House Rales Are quite similar to tiie Rales we have at Indiana University. Inspiration Given you write him letters from time to time and let him know that he is at least partly responsible for your upward climb. Viii. Make it a Point to attend every Indiana University meeting and if there Are not enough meetings see to it that others Are called and interesting programs prepared. Keep in close touch with your classmates and attend the reunions with the regularity of clock work when any special University event is Given at Bloomington Indianapolis or elsewhere make it a Point to go a Wear the University colors sing the University songs and give the University yells. Though the years go in rapid succession let the spirit of youth a the spirit of the University a Ever abide. 0 in Tell it to everyone that it is the duty of the representatives of Indiana University to have a sympathetic attitude toward every other educational institution in the state for there is room for All and need for All.

Send news concerning yourself and other alumni to the quarterly in order that the publication May be of even greater service. Call attention of prospective College students to the fact that the Indiana daily student and the Arbutus Are on file at the High school building and urge them to read these publications. Xia Tell the people that your Alma mater is entitled to the name Quot Mother of presidents Quot for its graduates Are in the presidencies of universities colleges and Normal schools from Maine to Washington and from Minnesota to Florida. Tell them of the splendid service that the sons and daughters of Indiana gave in the great wars of our country. Tell them that in the War just closed there were More than Twenty seven Hundred stars on the records of Indiana University. Tell them of the great men who have been in the faculty of Indiana University and of the great men who Are there today. Tell them that other states with less wealth than our own Are paying their professors much More than Indiana and that the Only Way to keep the Best men is to increase the income of the University. Let your banners Ever Fly from the outer Walls and keep emblazoned on them the motto Quot the Best is none too Good for Xii. Tell your friends that Indiana University has had ten presidents in its one Hundred years and of these four Are still doing splendid service for their fellow men a or. David Star Jordan who was president from 1884 to 1891, or. John m. Coulter 1891-1893, or. Joseph Swain 1893-1902, and or. William Lowe Bryan from 1902 to the present. The first six presidents were or. Andrew Wylie 1829-1851 or. John h. Lathrop 1859-1860 or. Cyrus Nutt 1860-1875 or. Lemuel Moss 1875-1884. As president Here. Or. Jordan inaugurated the elective system and gathered about him a group of faculty and students who have played important parts in the Fields of education science and numerous other activities. After leaving Here he made a Brilliant record As president of Leland Stanford University. Prom 1891 to 1893, or. Coulter ably continued the work of or. Jordan Here and As head of the botany department in the University of Chicago is recognized As one of the world s authorities in his special line. Under or. Swain s administration Indiana University had a rapid growth. In that time Kirkwood Hall Assembly Hall and Kirkwood Observatory were erected and the movement for the student building was Ina Gui ated. The finances of the institution were put on a firmer foundation by the passage of the fraction of a Mill tax. He is now president of Swarthmore College one of the prominent educational institutions of the East. Xin. Tell your friends that during president Bryan s administration the institution has gone Forward by leaps and Bounds and that the future is Bright with the Promise of still greater Progress. The attendance has increased from 1334 in 1902 to 4,000 a 1920 the income has increased from $129,761.01 in 1902 to $999,077.86 in 1919, but the present amount is still far too Low. Tell them that durig the seventeen years of ins administration new schools departments or courses have been established As follows graduate school education Medicine Extension journalism comparative philology Anatomy physiology music military science Commerce training school for nurses Waterman Institute for research and combined courses in arts Law and Medicine Tell them that All interests in medical education have been combined and the state has in the Indiana University school of Medicine one of the Best in the country Tell them that durig president Bryan s administration Indiana University has won membership in practically All the National and International organizations which distinguish educational institutions of the highest rank Tell them that in a material Way the institution has had a remarkable growth in recent years that the Campius has increased from fifty to one Hundred and Twenty acres that during that time science Hall was completed and the student building new Power House Library building biological building men s gymnasium the Robert w. Long Hospital and the new medical building were erected. Tell them that the feeling of Good Fellowship Between Indiana University and the other educational institutions of the state was never better than it is now Tell them that the spirit of the whole institution is one of co operation and that As a result of All these things Indiana University is better prepared than Ever before to meet the manifold problems of daily life. Xiv and finally Tell your friends everywhere to give themselves More and More to their Alma mater. In the language of Hail to old i. s to her whose name Well Ever cherish in our song Honor love and True Devotion. All to her i Ere is in reality no reason Why new resolutions should be made on new years Day. They could just As Well be put on record on december 23 or 28. But no one will do it then. The Only explanation seems to be that folks think the Days along towards the end of the year Are getting too frazzled out to stand up under the Strain of taking on the added Burden of a mess of resolutions. The thing to do with resolutions in to have the maker appear before a notary Public and Post a forfeit to be paid should his foot slip from the straight and Only. This would at least Benefit the notary Public who signed the document. From the registrar s office comes the report that Over Twenty five Hundred students Are now within the confines of the world s most Beautiful College Campus. A Safe Wager would be that Over Twenty four Hundred of them swore off something or other on new year s eve. Vacations Ai e All right but the trip Back to Bloomington is rather trying we must admit. The trouble with trips Back after vacations is that they come just when everybody else in the world has made up his mind to travel not to mention their suit cases and other impediments. The thing to do is to have College vacations when their Start and end won t interfere with the travelling Public. For instance we might have the University Christmas vacation come in late july. Then most of the summer tourists have gone West and still having Money Haven t started Home yet. For thanksgiving we suggest that the vacation be held during the first week in May. We mention this time in May because it comes just before the political primaries and there won t be Many people moving about. Food and vacations have considerable association. Last week was the first time we had tasted spare ribs in Many Many Moons. And then to blow in Here to dry Toast and weepy Coffee �?0�? in books we received several Fine volumes.

There was no blood spilled for the reason noted in the first line of this paragraph but we bet the present administration would t have thought very much of itself if it had been around anywhere.

Striker Higuain retired from international duty on Thursday, bringing down the curtain on an Argentina career comprising 31 goals in 75 caps, an appearance in the 2014 World Cup final and Copa America finals in 2015 and 2016.
The 31-year-old joined Chelsea on loan from Juventus in January, scoring three goals in seven Premier League appearances.
Now Chelsea boss Sarri has called on Higuain to hit top form to spearhead the Blues' final Premier League top-four tilt, starting at Cardiff on Sunday.
Ross Barkley scored twice in England's 5-1 win in Montenegro on Monday, in a performance to underline his rich potential for both club and country.
The former Everton midfielder had to battle to shake off a long-term hamstring injury after joining Chelsea in January 2018.
But now Sarri believes the natural "fighter" has proved himself crucial to Chelsea's plans.
"He's improved a lot tactically, also physically I think, because in the last season he played only 200 minutes.
"And so he needed to stay on the pitch. Fortunately now he's going very well.

Symposium on Statistics and Data Science in HIV

Co-sponsored by Providence-Boston Center for AIDS Research and ICERM https://cfar.med.brown.edu/
Research in HIV continues to generate highly complex data structures. Examples include genomic sequences (both host and virus); individual medical records, which include such complications as irregular measurement, missing data, and unstructured text fields; medical images; social network data; and aggregated 'super cohorts' such as those coordinated by the IeDEA and CNICS consortia. Even the design and analysis of randomized trials require innovative techniques to enable optimal use of data that can be expensive and labor-intensive to collect.
This symposium is designed to bring together statistical and data science researchers either working directly in the area of HIV or whose work has direct relevance to problems and data structures encountered in HIV research. We are particularly interested in engaging data science researchers in fields such as computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics, whose work in related areas might lead to innovative new approaches. Participants will gather for focused activities related to dissemination of new methods, formation of new collaborations, extended discussion to identify new challenges, and engagement of junior investigators.
Finally, owing to investments by NIH and other funding agencies, the number of HIV-focused statisticians and data scientists from low- and middle-income countries is growing. The symposium also is designed to promote continued engagement between statistical scientists from the 'global north' and 'global south'.

The Getica CO2 Capture and Storage (CCS) Demo Project aims to demonstrate the application of large-scale integrated CCS to an existing coal-fired power plant in Romania's South West Development Region. The Project's planned start-up date is December 2015.
The Project is officially sustained by the Prime Minister of Romania, coordinated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and the Business Environment (METBE) and supported by the Global CCS Institute. It will be implemented by a new Project Company, in which the initial shareholders will be three existing State-owned companies; CE Oltenia SA, SNTGN Transgaz SA and SNGN Romgaz SA.
The Feasibility Study for the CCS chain (capture, transport, storage) was performed by a consortium comprising the Institute for Studies and Power Engineering (ISPE) – Romania (with support from INTETECH Consultancy – UK), Alstom Carbon Capture – Germany, GeoEcoMar – Romania, and Schlumberger Carbon Services – France.
The key findings from the Feasibility Study are presented below.
The CO2 Capture Plant (CCP) will be retrofitted to the 330 MW Unit No. 6 of the existing six units in the Turceni power plant. Unit No. 6 is fuelled by local lignite equipped with wet flue gas desulphurisation (WFGD) and a dense slurry installation for ash and slag discharge. The CCP will treat a flue gas stream equivalent to 250 MWe of net electrical output, with a minimum targeted CO2 capture rate of 85% from the flue gas stream. Around 1.3 Mtpa CO2 will be captured by the CCP, resulting in a reduction of net power output of approximately 30% (275 MW reduced to 193 MW).
Since the Getica CCS demo project is planned for operation by the end of 2015, the technology selection was limited to the Chilled Ammonia Process (CAP) and the Advanced Amine Process (AAP), given their likely commercial availability at a scale applicable to this project. Based on various criteria, CAP was chosen as the post-combustion capture (PCC) technology for Getica.
lower operating costs compared to AAP with potential economic benefit from the liquid ammonium sulphates by-product.
The Feasibility Study evaluated two storage options (Zone 5 and Zone 1), with two corresponding CO2 transport pipeline routes. The CO2 will be transported through a new onshore, underground pipeline with a nominal diameter of 350 mm (14 inch). The distance from the CCP to either of the two storage options is approximately 40 km. The CO2 will be transported in dense phase, as this has been determined to be the most cost effective solution for long distance transportation. The pipeline design pressure-temperature envelope is: 0-140 bar and 0-50ºC. The pipeline operating range is 80-120 bar and 0-40ºC.
Key considerations for the pipeline routing include the terrain features, the population density in the area, the archaeological sites in the vicinity and environmental impacts.
The selection of possible storage sites was made within a 50 km radius of the Turceni power plant (the emission source), within the Getic Depression. Sites were assessed based on key selection criteria; properties of the reservoir rocks (e.g. porosities and permeabilities), reservoir depth, and the existence of a suitable seal formation above the reservoirs.
Following preliminary selection of seven sites, a more detailed analysis of the data found that the most (potentially) suitable storage sites are Zone 5 and Zone 1 (both deep saline aquifers).
Storage characterisation will be completed and finalised during the Appraisal (Phase 2) of the project. The key objectives of the Appraisal phase are to fill the gap in knowledge identified during the performance and risk assessment work and to complete the site characterisation for the selection of a single site to be further developed. The Appraisal strategy is based on the assumption that Zone 5 is more promising as a CO2 storage site than Zone 1.
The total estimated capital cost for the Getica CCS Demo Project has been determined in the Feasibility Study, with an accuracy of ±20%. The breakdown of these investment costs is presented in Table ES-1.
The operating costs, based on the Feasibility Study, are presented in Table ES-2.
Wherever possible, the investment costs for the Getica CCS Demo Project will be covered by direct funding (grants). Direct funding opportunities exist given the demonstrative nature of the project and the European Union's objective of advancing CCS toward commercial operation.
A detailed investigation of the possible financing sources at European level was undertaken, in order to assess which best fits the Project needs, in terms of time compatibility and level of funding. Further details on funding can be found in the Financial Scenarios Report for the Getica CCS Demo Project.
the performance of the CO2 storage site in terms of injectivity and containment.
The objectives of the FEED phase are to explore the CCS project components at a greater level of technical detail and to reach a ±10% accuracy of the investment cost estimates (compared to the ±20% accuracy of the Feasibility Study phase estimates). This will involve acquiring and processing new geological data for the complete characterisation of the storage regime in Zone 5 (geological data acquisition (2D/3D seismic, wells) and modelling). This stage will determine the suitability of the selected storage solution and will provide the technical background needed to apply for the storage permit.


I bet you didn't know that when you decided to work online to create income for yourself and your family that it would be really important to know how to operate your computer in a specific way. What surprised me when I meet new marketers is how many really just don't know the basics. I know how important it is to be able to cut and paste material from one source to another. How to upload and download photos and other information is also essential to your online success. There are so many who don't know the BASIC skills to working from home on their computer and get frustrated because they neither have the tools, don't know where to find the resources and simply feel lost. So they quit, before they even get started. I see the need, and I decided to fill in the gap.
When I first started online…I didn't know squat! I didn't even know what Paypal was…I didn't know what a capture page was. I didn't know a bunch of things that I know now. It was a blessing for me that I found some others who were learning just like me and we sorta helped each other out…but some people are out there all alone. So I am going to start blogging and/or vlogging about Marketing BASICS. I hope that you will subscribe to my Blog in order to keep updated on the things you might need to know about Marketing as we all grow in this industry.
So for my 1st blog I will be talking about something that we all assume everyone knows how to do. But I have run into quite a few New marketers who don't. You may have come across programs that say…"If you can cut and paste then you can do this program," right? Well SURPRISE!!!! There are some who don't know how to cut and paste and therefore will NOT be joining your program…or mine for that matter because you certainly need to know that BASIC process.
So here is a video that I did that goes through the process of cutting and pasting and how you can use it online or anywhere that allows it.
Well I hope that was helpful to somebody. I know most of you may think that this just "silly!" You might be saying…"well if you don't know how to cut and paste then you don't know ANYTHING about the computer." Well NEWS FLASH…Yes there are some folks who know nothing. And that's ok! We all need to start at the Beginning, right?
I did a video on YouTube back in 2013 and you will be surprised at the hits I got on that video, with NO KEYWORDS attached to it mind you.
Well that's it for today. Next time I will go over how to upload a picture to your computer and add it to Facebook or any other platform that allows you to post or insert pictures. Till then, Take care and practice what I just taught you.
La ya and See you in the Next Blog!
What a great idea Sharon. You're always so helpful. I can remember when I first started online and at that time I didn't know how to cut and paste. We all start from the beginning and we just keep on growing. You're such a Helpful Mentor.
Very good very good. And no keywords and they still wanna know.
Awesome! Just all the great words use to this material! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and spirit and also I will come go to again if you keep up the excellent job!
websites? I have a blog centered on the same ideas you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would value your work.


" This presents Leia as an object of men's affections and desires rather than her own person." – Is it really? Is it objectifying when two men compete for the affection of the woman? Sounds to me like the woman is in power. She can choose one and discard the other.
I'm glad people are realizing Leia is actually a strong character. It's not just her Skill Tree (leadership and all). It's the fact she doesn't let the story confine her. When she gets released she immediately takes control. Notice how Han, Luke and the rest are a bunch of buffoons until Leia comes along. Leia does represent leadership in the series, and it's part of her personality. This is so different than Rey, whose only ability is to be violent and shoot people.

ALBtelecom chooses Amino for IPTV rollout
9th September 2014 @ 11:17
Floreta Zhulali
Albanian service provider ALBtelecom has chosen Amino to provide set-top boxes for an IPTV service that is currently being rolled out across the country.
ALBtelecom will deploy Amino's HD set-tops as part of a – package that is being rolled out initially to Korçë and Pogradec in south-eastern Albania. The service will be rolled out across the whole country via ALBtelecom's fibre and DSL network over the remainder of the summer.
ALBtv is offering a multiscreen service with a range of popular news, sport and entertainment content distributed to TVs, tablets and smartphones, plus a video-on-demand service.
ALBtelecom serves around 230,000 subscribers, with an 80% share of the country's fixed-line market. Over the last five years the company has invested over €150 million in building out a fibre backbone. ALBtelecom is offering four bundled packages, including between 50-100 channels and 1Mbps to 8Mbps internet access for between ALL1,300-4,000 (€9-28).
"We will always bring to the Albanian market the best service and latest technology, and in our effort to successfully launch IPTV, Amino has been instrumental in securing reliable and top quality products," said ALBtelecom chief marketing officer Floreta Zhulali.

Political right faces rift after Bernier quits Conservative Party
The Canadian political right is facing its biggest rift since it unified behind the Conservative Party of Canada 15 years ago, with Quebec MP Maxime Bernier vowing to create a new party that threatens to split the movement in the next federal election.
On the first day of the Conservative policy convention in Halifax, the former leadership contender announced he was leaving the CPC and unleashed a scathing attack against Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, who narrowly beat him in last year's leadership race.
Standing by himself at a news conference in Ottawa, Mr. Bernier accused Mr. Scheer of being a "moderate" who depends on polls and focus groups to make policy choices.
"I have come to realize over the past year that this party is too intellectually and morally corrupt to be reformed," Mr. Bernier said, vowing that his new party will fight for "more freedom, less government."
Opinion: The Bernier headache is just beginning
"I am now convinced that what we will get if Andrew Scheer becomes prime minister is just a more moderate version of the disastrous Trudeau government."
No MP or riding president has so far followed Mr. Bernier to the unnamed political entity that is not yet registered with Elections Canada.
Still, the announcement upstaged the start of the Conservative convention, where Mr. Scheer wanted to present the image of a principled party ready to fight the Liberals on balanced budgets and tax cuts in the next federal election.
"I have always challenged [Mr. Bernier] to put personal ambition aside and to concentrate on the common ground that all conservatives can rally around," Mr. Scheer told reporters. "Today it is clear that Mr. Bernier decided to help [Prime Minister] Justin Trudeau rather than his caucus colleagues and our team."
The remarkable split between the former leadership rivals caps off more than a year of tension between Mr. Bernier and Mr. Scheer that began soon after the May, 2017, race to replace Stephen Harper at the helm of the party.
In a chapter of his political memoir released in advance to The Globe and Mail this spring, Mr. Bernier, who opposes supply management which the Conservative Party supports, accused Mr. Scheer of winning the leadership because of "fake Conservatives" from the Quebec dairy lobby. Mr. Bernier was stripped of his critic portfolio after he reposted the chapter on his personal website despite his promise to caucus to shelve the book.
Emerging from a closed-door caucus meeting on Thursday, Conservative MPs said they were united behind Mr. Scheer.
Toronto-area MP Peter Kent said Mr. Bernier "deliberately planned today to throw a hand grenade to attempt to sabotage this convention for his own personal ambition."
Alberta MP Shannon Stubbs, the party's natural resources critic, said Mr. Bernier's decision to leave the party as 3,000 delegates discuss and debate policy shows that he's not interested in beating the Liberals in the next election. "It is a slap in the face to the many Conservative members who supported him," she said.
Mr. Scheer's national campaign manager, Hamish Marshall, said the party is focused on building its team for the 2019 election.
"I don't see this as anything more than a speed bump on the road to victory in 2019," Mr. Marshall told The Globe. "Building a new party is extremely difficult and takes a lot of time and effort. And it's one thing to get a lot of Twitter followers, it's another thing to get a lot of votes."
The new party stands to split the political right across the country in the 2019 federal election, with some Conservatives fearing the consequences of a divided movement.
"It is clear that Max never accepted the result of the leadership vote and seeks only to divide Conservatives," Mr. Harper tweeted. "His decision today allows the Conservative Party of Canada to move forward united behind our Leader Andrew Scheer."
One of Mr. Harper's former senior advisers, Rachel Curran, predicted that the Liberals have "secured an easy win in 2019 despite a mostly terrible summer" because of the turmoil on the right. Still, Jason Kenney, a former colleague of Mr. Bernier's in Ottawa and now the Leader of the United Conservative Party in Alberta, said the plan to create a new party was "a joke."
"Conservatives need to be united to win. I think they are united and one man's ego is not going to change that," Mr. Kenney said.
Over the past two weeks, Mr. Bernier has been tweeting about diversity issues and what he called Mr. Trudeau's "extreme multiculturalism." His remarks led Mr. Scheer to accuse him of engaging in "identity politics" and to publicly distance the party from Mr. Bernier's views.
Mr. Bernier said his decision to create a new party came after a private meeting with Mr. Scheer nine days earlier, in which it became clear that he was unable to advance his policy ideas within the party.
"My leader told me and every Canadian that I didn't have any influence in the party," he said.
Mr. Bernier's departure from the party was the talk of the Conservative convention among party members on Thursday.
"I was disappointed that he made that decision. I was hoping that he'd stay in the caucus. A lot of people in the party support his views," said Devon Long, a delegate from Niagara Falls.
A long-time Bernier supporter, Clinton Desveaux, said he's interested in joining Mr. Bernier's new party.
"If he starts a new party and it's based on the policies and ideas that he campaigned on – ending supply management, stopping corporate welfare, understanding what's happening at the border, all of these issues – I would definitely support him," said Mr. Desveaux, who hails from Nova Scotia and was handing out "End supply management" buttons outside of the convention centre in downtown Halifax.

One of the things I love about coaching is the way that other musicians help you see things you already thought you knew in a new light. A lovely example of this happened when I was up in Edinburgh with MacFour at the end of March. We were talking about the relationship between the manager and the communicator, and how I'd originally started using these terms when thinking about the nature of the task the arranger sets up for the performer. We somehow also managed to divert into one of my favourite rants about the nature of the baritone line.
Yes, and if the baritone line is illogical, you find that you start to sing a bit behind everyone else as it takes you longer to process it.
Well, yes, but of course. That makes perfect sense. Indeed, there's a classic form of psychological test, called the Stroop effect, that shows how the brain takes longer to process cognitive tasks that involve in-built contradictions than those whose elements are experienced as congruent. This insight not only adds a new item to my list of underlying issues in synchronisation problems, but also holds some quite far-reaching implications for both arrangers and performers.
All the parts need to have roughly the same level of cognitive demands to promote good synchronisation within the ensemble.
The faster the tempo, the less intricate, rangy or disjunct the lines can be.
The pacing of the whole needs to be developed in dialogue with all the parts, not just the primary melody; the lie of the lines in the harmony parts may place quite specific constraints upon which of the many interpretive possibilities inherent in the tune will actually work.
If you find some songs harder to synchronise than others, investigate the relative complexity of the parts.* Rehearsing each part in unison and/or doubling up into two-voices-per-part in duets will help you understand the song from the perspective of all the parts, not just your own.
The more intricate, rangy or disjunct the lines are, the slower and more rubato-laden the delivery needs to be.
There's nothing wrong with musical complexity or the cognitive demands it makes on both singers and listeners of course. Indeed, fascination with increasing complexity is an inherent part of the pleasures of connoisseurship.
But complexity needs a context to make sense. Thinking about it in terms of the Stroop effect helps us deploy it strategically. If we can avoid either setting (as arrangers) or falling into (as performers) traps built of mismanaged or gratuitous cognitive demands, we will be in a better position to communicate directly, without stubbing our toes on technical obstacles en route.
*If you find all songs hard to synchronise, your difficulties are more basic than this. Though exploring the relationship between the parts will still help you get more coordinated.
Wow! Didn't see that coming! Glad I could add something to your wealth of great stuff about singing, singers and all things musical!

Southwark NewsHistorySuperarts Academy: British Empire Medal for long-running Walworth dance school founder
Armistice Centenary: 1918-2018
Superarts Academy: British Empire Medal for long-running Walworth dance school founder
Josh Salisbury (10 April, 2019)
Irene Hayes has been awarded a British Empire Medal for running the Superarts Academy since 1962 - nearly sixty years
Irene (right) pictured outside the Tower of London where she got her medal
When Irene Hayes, 86, was three-years-old, her mum gave her sixpence, which she spent on an hour-long dance class and a glass of lemonade.
"I think I was more interested in the lemonade!" she laughs. But the dance class also stuck.
It sparked a life-long passion which saw Irene set up one of the area's longest-running schools – Superarts Academy on Walworth's Larcom Street – for which she was awarded a British Empire Medal last week.
"I was over the moon, I was excited," says Irene, who lives in Kennington.
But initially she didn't believe the letter was real, her daughter Susan tells the News, a director at the academy. "I put it on Facebook, we were so delighted, once we were allowed to," she says.
"Lots of people have all kinds of places from all over the years said how pleased they are and well-deserved it is."
Irene was officially given the medal at a formal ceremony at the Tower of London on Friday, April 5 for "services to Dance and to the community in Southwark."
Irene aged 15 in a Kennington Street
But her proudest achievement is how long she has kept the dance school running for, known locally as 'Renie's'. She founded it in 1962 in nearby Manor Place before moving to Larcom Street in 1965.
It wasn't easy. "It was difficult to begin with, being on my own, totally. [But] I was with my husband, he was in on it, he loved it," says Irene.
The 86-year-old used to pull a trolley on it with a machine on it for music to dance to in the early days, and also sewed costumes for the shows herself, working 48 or 50 weeks of the year.
When she moved to her current premises in Larcom Street, one person warned that other dance schools have been and gone on the site before her.
"And I said 'well let me try' and here we are fifty years on," she says. Keeping it going can still be tricky at times.
"Some of the children can't afford it, in this area, but I never want to say no to them, how can you turn children away when they want to dance?" says Irene.
It's how she started.
She began doing shows after getting into pantos during the war – including being part of the Crazy Gang cast (pictured)
During the war, her father used to take her to the hotels in Park Lane where she'd do tap and acrobatics – not for pay, but to keep people entertained.
Aged ten, she started dance classes at a venue in Denmark Hill. Just two years later she was teaching classes herself.
She also began doing lots of pantomimes during the war.
Once she starred in a production of Babes in the Wood, but couldn't stop laughing underneath the leaves on-stage, as they wouldn't stop rustling.
"We were under the leaves, we got the giggles they had to call in the whole cast in and punish us."
The spur to start her own school came after she married and had Susan. Susan went to dance classes too, and when Susan was around eight-years-old, her mum Irene thought, 'well I could do that', they both say.
From just five pupils – although it quickly turned into 75 within five weeks – the school has taught thousands of pupils from across Southwark over the years.
Some teachers at the school, which does tap, ballet, musical theatre and others, are ex-pupils, while a few children who currently attend even have grandparents who were also taught at Irene's school.

The school counts choreographers in LA, BBC radio presenters and assistant choreographers on the X-Factor among its alumni.
"Others went into TV and things like that. We've got people in Ireland who's got their own school, somebody in Australia as well," says Susan.
"When they come back to see me, I say did you enjoy it?," adds Irene. "And they say yes. And that's what it's all about."
Susan Upchurch says:
21st April 2019 at 10:58 pm
Congratulations Irene, well deserved too. From an older one of your dance students (Mums). A lifetime ago, but never forgotten. Sue Upchurch, and daughter Tracey.

LegalLeaks Toolkit – Helping journalists get access to information
TOPICS:access to informationFOIFOIAfree access to information
Journalists play a central role in initiating and stimulating public debates, but face constant challenges in accessing information from public bodies, particularly when that information relates to sensitive issues such as corruption, organised crime, environmental contamination, or relationships with business and lobby groups.
The right of access to information and access to information laws have become a crucial tool in this context. They guarantee journalists access to information held by public bodies for their stories and investigations, enabling them to exercise their role as public watchdogs in our democracies.
The Legal Leaks Toolkit, developed by Access Info Europe and n-ost, helps journalists obtain information using access to information laws.
The Legal Leaks Toolkit
This toolkit is designed for journalists working in any media – newspapers, radio, and television – as well as bloggers and other information professionals who need to get access to information held by public bodies for their stories.
The toolkit is for journalists making requests in their own country or considering filing a request in another country. It is based on a comparative analysis of the access to information of the 42 countries of the Council of Europe region which have such laws. In many places in the text we have put references where national law or practice deviates from the normal access to information standards.
Download here the international version of the Legal Leaks Toolkit (in English) which can be adapted to the legal framework of any country. The existing national versions, translated into local languages, are available here.
Currently available national versions of the Toolkit: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey, Ukraine.

Just how rare is a blue moon? We've all heard the phrase when someone is referring to something that doesn't happen very often. A moon that is actually blue in color is extremely unusual. Daniel Blue, visionary and lead singer/songwriter of the band Motopony, is this type of rarity. With raw talent and a depth to his lyrics, he finds inspiration in the world around him. He creates his art with the belief it should be a mirror for the artist, sharing it through a voice with an almost haunting and chilling effect that stays with you long after listening.
Having always followed the path of an artisan, Daniel found music in his 20s. At the age of 21, Daniel visited cousins in the Northwest where his family lived. They were having a band practice and the lead singer was sick, so he asked to get on the mic, feeling inspired by a melody. They said no, and not sure if it was the denial of the moment, but Daniel said it created a longing to sing. Having always sung in some capacity, he didn't realize it was something he could actually pursue. That night, Daniel looked for answers from the universe and had a dream he was singing in a 15-piece band. He woke up knowing there would be guidance around his passion of signing and songwriting. "I've lived fairly submissively to that guidance ever since," he shares.
Seven years after that dream, he started his career in music while living in Tacoma, Washington. The band originally started as Daniel's solo project. "I just called it Motopony because I was afraid of my own name," the musician explains. Daniel collaborated with Buddy Ross, who he describes as "furiously talented," and he produced the first self-titled album, which was released in May 2011. Buddy then joined the band and it grew to six members by the EP "Idle Beauty," released in September 2014.
Daniel believes in a band that is fully consensus-based, while many of his peers have front men or women who are making final decisions. He explains that because of this, it's no surprise it took nearly five years to make the second record "Welcome You," released this past June 2015. The album needed to be a collaborative effort where every member supported the final product. From the release of the first album to the second, Daniel has seen members and management change, personal lives evolve, and an even stronger dedication to his craft.
The band recently released an EP in October 2015, "Naked at the Abbey (Live at Abbey Road)," from a November 2014 trip to the iconic studio. The EP features live tracks of several songs from previous albums. This December, Daniel will return back to Abbey Road where he was invited to finish his second solo project. His first solo project, "The Agreeable White Tiger Moth, Vol. 1," was released in April 2014.
Daniel will spend six weeks in London, a place where he feels a strong sense of connection, staying through the holidays and enjoying a traditional country Christmas. "I felt more at home in London than I've felt anywhere in the world. There's a commitment to the English language that demands a very sophisticated conversation. And I love it. As a lyricist and lover of language, I love engaging on that plane of vocabulary and expression…I stayed up well beyond serving hours every night I was there, talking to people, I was so thrilled I was there," Daniel shares.
This deep-seeded drive is what transforms his talent into success for Motopony. Just like an appearance of a blue moon, Daniel is anything but ordinary.
Thank you for appreciating and spreading the word about Motopony. I found Mr. Blue to be the epitome of the definition of a hard working, generous and talented musician who is finally being lauded by the press but still not too busy to acknowledge a fan!
We could not agree more! He is truly talented and inspiring. Thank you for reading!


It wasn't at all the triumphant arrival they had pictured. Stiff, cold, and bruised, they seized the ends of their trunks and began dragging them up the grassy slope, toward the great oak front doors.
Harry hurried over and, together, he and Ron peered in at the Great Hall.
Innumerable candles were hovering in midair over four long, crowded tables, making the golden plates and goblets sparkle. Overhead, the bewitched ceiling, which always mirrored the sky outside, sparkled with stars.
Through the forest of pointed black Hogwarts hats, Harry saw a long line of scared looking first years filing into the Hall. Ginny was among them, easily visible because of her vivid Weasley hair. Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall, a bespectacled witch with her hair in a tight bun, was placing the famous Hogwarts Sorting Hat on a stool before the newcomers.
Every year, this aged old hat, patched, frayed, and dirty, sorted new students into the four Hogwarts houses (Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin). Harry well remembered putting it on, exactly one year ago, and waiting, petrified, for its decision as it muttered aloud in his ear. For a few horrible seconds he had feared that the hat was going to put him in Slytherin, the house that had turned out more Dark witches and wizards than any other—but he had ended up in Gryffindor, along with Ron, Hermione, and the rest of the Weasleys. Last term, Harry and Ron had helped Gryffindor win the House Championship, beating Slytherin for the first time in seven years.
A very small, mousy haired boy had been called forward to place the hat on his head. Harry's eyes wandered past him to where Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, sat watching the Sorting from the staff table, his long silver beard and half moon glasses shining brightly in the candlelight. Several seats along, Harry saw Gilderoy Lockhart, dressed in robes of aquamarine. And there at the end was Hagrid, huge and hairy, drinking deeply from his goblet.
Professor Severus Snape was Harry's least favorite teacher. Harry also happened to be Snape's least favorite student. Cruel, sarcastic, and disliked by everybody except the students from his own house (Slytherin), Snape taught Potions.
Harry spun around. There, his black robes rippling in a cold breeze, stood Severus Snape. He was a thin man with sallow skin, a hooked nose, and greasy, shoulder length black hair, and at this moment, he was smiling in a way that told Harry he and Ron were in very deep trouble.
Not daring even to look at each other, Harry and Ron followed Snape up the steps into the vast, echoing entrance hall, which was lit with flaming torches. A delicious smell of food was wafting from the Great Hall, but Snape led them away from the warmth and light, down a narrow stone staircase that led into the dungeons.
"In!" he said, opening a door halfway down the cold passageway and pointing.
They entered Snape's office, shivering. The shadowy walls were lined with shelves of large glass jars, in which floated all manner of revolting things Harry didn't really want to know the name of at the moment. The fireplace was dark and empty. Snape closed the door and turned to look at them.
Ron gulped. This wasn't the first time Snape had given Harry the impression of being able to read minds. But a moment later, he understood, as Snape unrolled today's issue of the Evening Prophet.
"I noticed, in my search of the park, that considerable damage seems to have been done to a very valuable Whomping Willow," Snape went on.
"That tree did more damage to us than we—" Ron blurted out.
Harry and Ron stared at each other, white faced. Harry didn't feel hungry any more. He now felt extremely sick. He tried not to look at a large, slimy something suspended in green liquid on a shelf behind Snape's desk. If Snape had gone to fetch Professor McGonagall, head of Gryffindor House, they were hardly any better off. She might be fairer than Snape, but she was still extremely strict.
Ten minutes later, Snape returned, and sure enough it was Professor McGonagall who accompanied him. Harry had seen Professor McGonagall angry on several occasions, but either he had forgotten just how thin her mouth could go, or he had never seen her this angry before. She raised her wand the moment she entered; Harry and Ron both flinched, but she merely pointed it at the empty fireplace, where flames suddenly erupted.
"Sit," she said, and they both backed into chairs by the fire.
"Explain," she said, her glasses glinting ominously.
Ron launched into the story, starting with the barrier at the station refusing to let them through.
"Why didn't you send us a letter by owl? I believe you have an owl?" Professor McGonagall said coldly to Harry.
Harry gaped at her. Now she said it, that seemed the obvious thing to have done.
There was a knock on the office door and Snape, now looking happier than ever, opened it. There stood the headmaster, Professor Dumbledore.
Harry's whole body went numb. Dumbledore was looking unusually grave. He stared down his very crooked nose at them, and Harry suddenly found himself wishing he and Ron were still being beaten up by the Whomping Willow.
It would have been better if he had shouted. Harry hated the disappointment in his voice. For some reason, he was unable to look Dumbledore in the eyes, and spoke instead to his knees. He told Dumbledore everything except that Mr. Weasley owned the bewitched car, making it sound as though he and Ron had happened to find a flying car parked outside the station. He knew Dumbledore would see through this at once, but Dumbledore asked no questions about the car. When Harry had finished, he merely continued to peer at them through his spectacles.
"We'll go and get our stuff," said Ron in a hopeless sort of voice.
"What are you talking about, Weasley?" barked Professor McGonagall.
"Well, you're expelling us, aren't you?" said Ron.
Harry looked quickly at Dumbledore.
Snape shot a look of pure venom at Harry and Ron as he allowed himself to be swept out of his office, leaving them alone with Professor McGonagall, who was still eyeing them like a wrathful eagle.
"And speaking of Gryffindor—" Professor McGonagall said sharply, but Harry cut in: "Professor, when we took the car, term hadn't started, so—so Gryffindor shouldn't really have points taken from it—should it?" he finished, watching her anxiously.
Professor McGonagall gave him a piercing look, but he was sure she had almost smiled. Her mouth looked less thin, anyway.
It was better than Harry had expected. As for Dumbledore's writing to the Dursleys, that was nothing. Harry knew perfectly well they'd just be disappointed that the Whomping Willow hadn't squashed him flat.
Professor McGonagall raised her wand again and pointed it at Snape's desk. A large plate of sandwiches, two silver goblets, and a jug of iced pumpkin juice appeared with a pop.
When the door had closed behind her, Ron let out a long, low whistle.
"I thought we'd had it," he said, grabbing a sandwich.
"So did I," said Harry, taking one, too.
When they had eaten as many sandwiches as they could (the plate kept refilling itself) they rose and left the office, treading the familiar path to Gryffindor Tower. The castle was quiet; it seemed that the feast was over. They walked past muttering portraits and creaking suits of armor, and climbed narrow flights of stone stairs, until at last they reached the passage where the secret entrance to Gryffindor Tower was hidden, behind an oil painting of a very fat woman in a pink silk dress.
"Password?" she said as they approached.
They didn't know the new year's password, not having met a Gryffindor prefect yet, but help came almost immediately; they heard hurrying feet behind them and turned to see Hermione dashing toward them.
"Well, we haven't been expelled," Harry assured her.
"You're not telling me you did fly here?" said Hermione, sounding almost as severe as Professor McGonagall.
Her words were cut short, however, as the portrait of the fat lady swung open and there was a sudden storm of clapping. It looked as though the whole of Gryffindor House was still awake, packed into the circular common room, standing on the lopsided tables and squashy armchairs, waiting for them to arrive. Arms reached through the portrait hole to pull Harry and Ron inside, leaving Hermione to scramble in after them.
"Good for you," said a fifth year Harry had never spoken to; someone was patting him on the back as though he'd just won a marathon; Fred and George pushed their way to the front of the crowd and said together, "Why couldn't we've come in the car, eh?" Ron was scarlet in the face, grinning embarrassedly, but Harry could see one person who didn't look happy at all. Percy was visible over the heads of some excited first years, and he seemed to be trying to get near enough to start telling them off. Harry nudged Ron in the ribs and nodded in Percy's direction. Ron got the point at once.
"Got to get upstairs—bit tired," he said, and the two of them started pushing their way toward the door on the other side of the room, which led to a spiral staircase and the dormitories.
"Night," Harry called back to Hermione, who was wearing a scowl just like Percy's.
They managed to get to the other side of the common room, still having their backs slapped, and gained the peace of the staircase. They hurried up it, right to the top, and at last reached the door of their old dormitory, which now had a sign on it saying SECOND YEARS. They entered the familiar, circular room, with its five four-posters hung with red velvet and its high, narrow windows. Their trunks had been brought up for them and stood at the ends of their beds.
Ron grinned guiltily at Harry.
The dormitory door flew open and in came the other second year Gryffindor boys, Seamus Finnigan, Dean Thomas, and Neville Longbottom.
Harry couldn't help it. He grinned, too.
The next day, however, Harry barely grinned once. Things started to go downhill from breakfast in the Great Hall. The four long house tables were laden with tureens of porridge, plates of kippers, mountains of toast, and dishes of eggs and bacon, beneath the enchanted ceiling (today, a dull, cloudy gray). Harry and Ron sat down at the Gryffindor table next to Hermione, who had her copy of Voyages with Vampires propped open against a milk jug. There was a slight stiffness in the way she said "Morning," which told Harry that she was still disapproving of the way they had arrived. Neville Longbottom, on the other hand, greeted them cheerfully. Neville was a round faced and accident prone boy with the worst memory of anyone Harry had ever met.
Harry had only just started his porridge when, sure enough, there was a rushing sound overhead and a hundred or so owls streamed in, circling the hall and dropping letters and packages into the chattering crowd. A big, lumpy package bounced off Neville's head and, a second later, something large and gray fell into Hermione's jug, spraying them all with milk and feathers.
"Errol!" said Ron, pulling the bedraggled owl out by the feet. Errol slumped, unconscious, onto the table, his legs in the air and a damp red envelope in his beak.
"It's all right, he's still alive," said Hermione, prodding Errol gently with the tip of her finger.
Ron was pointing at the red envelope. It looked quite ordinary to Harry, but Ron and Neville were both looking at it as though they expected it to explode.
"She's—she's sent me a Howler," said Ron faintly.
Harry looked from their petrified faces to the red envelope.
"What's a Howler?" he said.
But Ron's whole attention was fixed on the letter, which had begun to smoke at the corners.
Ron stretched out a shaking hand, eased the envelope from Errol's beak, and slit it open. Neville stuffed his fingers in his ears. A split second later, Harry knew why. He thought for a moment it had exploded; a roar of sound filled the huge hall, shaking dust from the ceiling.
Mrs. Weasley's yells, a hundred times louder than usual, made the plates and spoons rattle on the table, and echoed deafeningly off the stone walls. People throughout the hall were swiveling around to see who had received the Howler, and Ron sank so low in his chair that only his crimson forehead could be seen.
Harry had been wondering when his name was going to crop up. He tried very hard to look as though he couldn't hear the voice that was making his eardrums throb.
A ringing silence fell. The red envelope, which had dropped from Ron's hand, burst into flames and curled into ashes. Harry and Ron sat stunned, as though a tidal wave had just passed over them. A few people laughed and, gradually, a babble of talk broke out again.
Hermione closed Voyages with Vampires and looked down at the top of Ron's head.
"Don't tell me I deserved it," snapped Ron.
But he had no time to dwell on this; Professor McGonagall was moving along the Gryffindor table, handing out course schedules. Harry took his and saw that they had double Herbology with the Hufflepuffs first.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione left the castle together, crossed the vegetable patch, and made for the greenhouses, where the magical plants were kept. At least the Howler had done one good thing: Hermione seemed to think they had now been punished enough and was being perfectly friendly again.
As they neared the greenhouses they saw the rest of the class standing outside, waiting for Professor Sprout. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had only just joined them when she came striding into view across the lawn, accompanied by Gilderoy Lockhart. Professor Sprout's arms were full of bandages, and with another twinge of guilt, Harry spotted the Whomping Willow in the distance, several of its branches now in slings.
Professor Sprout was a squat little witch who wore a patched hat over her flyaway hair; there was usually a large amount of earth on her clothes and her fingernails would have made Aunt Petunia faint. Gilderoy Lockhart, however, was immaculate in sweeping robes of turquoise, his golden hair shining under a perfectly positioned turquoise hat with gold trimming.
"Greenhouse three today, chaps!" said Professor Sprout, who was looking distinctly disgruntled, not at all her usual cheerful self.
There was a murmur of interest. They had only ever worked in greenhouse one before—greenhouse three housed far more interesting and dangerous plants. Professor Sprout took a large key from her belt and unlocked the door. Harry caught a whiff of damp earth and fertilizer mingling with the heavy perfume of some giant, umbrellasized flowers dangling from the ceiling. He was about to follow Ron and Hermione inside when Lockhart's hand shot out.
Judging by Professor Sprout's scowl, she did mind, but Lockhart said, "That's the ticket," and closed the greenhouse door in her face.
Completely nonplussed, Harry said nothing.
He gave Harry a hearty wink and strode off. Harry stood stunned for a few seconds, then, remembering he was supposed to be in the greenhouse, he opened the door and slid inside.
To nobody's surprise, Hermione's hand was first into the air.

Isis hackers release new 'random' kill list with 4000 names from database previously available online
April 6, 2017/StevieRay Hansen/No Comments
An Islamic State (Isis)-affiliated hacker group called the Caliphate Cyber Army (CCA)has released a new "kill list" on social media, with names, addresses and emails of over 4,000 people from across the globe. While almost half of the names in the list are of Americans, residents of the UK, France, Canada and India have also reportedly made it to the list.
The hacker group distributed the list on the encrypted messaging service, Telegram, calling for Isis supporters to target the individuals listed. "O wolves of the Islamic State, [this is a] very important list, kill them immediately," the hacker group said.
According to reports, over 280 names on the list belong to Indian nationals, although it is still uncertain if those listed are civilians or military and/or government officials. Coincidentally, some reports credits the UCC (United Cyber Caliphate) for releasing the list. However, since the CCA was incorporated into the UCC when the various pro-Isis hacker groups were merged in April 2016, the credit could perhaps be attributed to both hacker groups.
It also remains unclear as to why Isis would target those in the list. According to Voactiv, the list appears to be random and has been lifted from an unnamed online business platform not unlike LinkedIn, which was created in 1999. This indicates that the methods used to obtain the list of personal information may have little to do with technical skills and sophisticated knowledge of hacking.

ISIS hackers release new random kill list with 4000 names from database previously available online
Pro-Isis hacker groups have of late taken to releasing similar kill lists on social media. Previous such lists included names and personal details of US military personnel as well as civilians. The UCC recently released its [longest ever kill list](http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/isis-longest-ever-kill-list-targeting-over-8000-people-released-by-united-cyber-caliphate-1564450) of 8,000 names, which not unlike the current list, likely contained little to no new information on the people, which wasn't already available online. The UCC made headlines when it released a hit list of [thousands of New Yorkers](http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/isis-linked-hackers-release-hit-list-thousands-new-yorkers-urging-followers-target-them-1557556) in April 2016, shortly after announcing itself as the joint hacking arm of Isis. However, the list was later found to contain outdated information, which may also be the case in this instance.
A recent report by ICIT (Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology) indicates that although Isis hacker groups are currently fairly unskilled, the collective is gaining momentum and has the tools necessary to become a major threat to world governments in the near future.

President Bush's United Nations General Assembly Speech Recognizes Value of the UN
Washington, D.C. (Sept. 24, 2004) – Statement attributable to Senator Timothy E. Wirth, President of the United Nations Foundation and Better World Fund: "President George W. Bush's remarks today to the UN General Assembly demonstrate that the UN continues to play a key role in U.S. foreign policy. The President cited the UN's valuable contribution in the promotion of democracy and in bringing peace and stability to conflict-ridden areas of the world.
"The past few months have once again demonstrated that by working with the UN, the U.S. can advance its interests while sharing risks and burdens with other nations. In Iraq, at the encouragement of the U.S., the UN played a key role in helping to set up that country's interim government and UN staff are leading the way to organize elections for next year. In Sudan, the U.S. has worked with UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and through the UN Security Council to call international attention to this tragic situation and to provide aid to the suffering.
"President Bush was right in stating today that 'The United Nations and my country share the deepest commitments,' such as a respect for and a responsibility to 'proclaim the equal value and dignity of every human life.' I encourage the President to remember these words and to promote steps that strengthen our nation's ties with the UN. One such step is for the President to encourage Congress to fully fund U.S. obligations for UN peacekeeping missions, which are facing increasing responsibilities around the world in places such as Haiti, Liberia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo."


IBM is turning to blockchain as it looks for new ways to improve dispute resolution across supply chains.
The computing giant is embracing the technology and has spent the past two years testing the concept of using blockchain to enable businesses to carry out transactions and settle and resolve disputes much quicker than in the past.
Jerry Cuomo, vice-president of blockchain technologies at IBM, explained he saw the potential of blockchain, even though the technology came to the fore through bitcoin, an anonymised currency that was of little use to many of IBM's biggest clients.
"I saw value in supply chains, healthcare, health record maintenance and in financial services, security and settlement," he was quoted by Forbes as saying.
The technology enables the three parties involved in a supply chain transaction - IBM, the buyer of its products or services and the shipping company - to resolve disputes much more quickly by using a distributed ledger, which shows the complete lifespan of a transaction. Having access to this information makes it easy to track back through a transaction to the last point where all parties were in agreement, and work out where the issue arose. This has simplified a process that previously involved numerous phone calls and emails, IBM says.
Previously, payments totalling $100 million (£80 million) were delayed for up to 40 days if a dispute arose in transactions between IBM's corporate treasury and another firm which relies on IBM Global Finance - which initially suggested trying blockchain for dispute resolution. After testing, IBM now estimates it has reduced this figure to ten days.
