Norwegian American Weekly
It wouldn't be the Norwegian American Weekly if things here weren't in a constant state of change, so it was only a matter of time before things changed so much that it wasn't even the Norwegian American Weekly anymore.
Let me back up. Some of you may remember last February, when NAW announced that it would cease publishing immediately. It came as a shock to everyone, and both in our staff meetings and in letters to the editor this community engaged in a lot of bargaining: What if we only published online? What if we published less frequently? Could a larger institution buy us? Or perhaps we could sell stock? Hold a fundraiser? The ideas went on and on.
A hero granted us a stay of execution, we did hold a very successful fundraiser, and since then we've been working on cutting costs and reaching out to new subscribers and advertisers, all of which has allowed us to carry on. But some of those ideas have been percolating in our collective subconscious all this while.
So it is my pleasure to announce that as of this May, the Norwegian American Weekly will become the Norwegian American and will change to a biweekly publication schedule.
We're doing this for a number of reasons, but the first and most obvious is that it will save us money on printing and shipping. The money it saves us on printing we are reinvesting straight back into printing: instead of 16-page issues with four pages of color, we'll now be creating 24-page issues with eight pages of color, and while we're at it we're upgrading to a cleaner, whiter paperstock that we hope will really help that color shine. But since postage is our major expense, we estimate this will save us somewhere in the range of $10,000 to $15,000 a year. Could that be enough to turn our slow loss of money into a slow gain of money? Dare to dream.
(But actually no, that will never happen, because I have a wish list that would shame a greedy toddler on Christmas Eve full of things I want to spend NAW's money on, from better subscriptions software to more office space to advertising ourselves to building a mobile app to crazy things like paying all contributors, bumping other employees up to full time, and having medical insurance without the ACA's help. Dare to dream indeed!)
Second, we're really excited about adding a little space to our regular issues, introducing some new sections (like Norwegian Language and Research & Science) and expanding others to be able to print more in-depth features. And of course we looooove the idea of having a little extra time to get issues together.
As always, dear readers, remember that this is your newspaper. Most of you have loved and supported it far longer than I have! We'll be making changes here and there, and if you don't like them please let me know (nicely). If you do like them, please let me know! We aim to please.
This newspaper, whatever its name, holds a lot of history. Nordisk Tidende began publishing 125 years ago in New York; Washington Posten started 127 years ago this Syttende Mai here in Seattle. Those of us behind the scenes here at the Norwegian American never forget the weight of that history, the fact that we are all that remains of the Norwegian newspaper tradition in America. But tradition cannot mean that nothing ever changes; flexibility is the only way to avoid snapping when things get tough.
So once again, we change!
The change takes effect in May. May 6 is our big Syttende Mai issue, and then the next issue will be May 20.
We will no longer skip issues in order to take breaks. Now that we'll have a two-week process, we'll just work extra hard certain weeks in order to take other weeks off. So there will be 26 issues a year, and no more confusing Easter, summer, and Christmas breaks without papers.
I have vague animosity toward whoever it was, 10 years ago, who named this paper the Norwegian American Weekly. If we could have changed publication frequency without changing our name, it probably would have happened long ago. But now we need to change everything—all our marketing materials, every page of the paper, and yes, even our website. We've only had www.na-weekly.com for two years, and now we need to change again! All I can say is that it seemed like a good idea at the time. Details on the new site and our new email addresses will be coming just as soon as we've crossed those i's and dotted the t's. We will keep the old ones working for some time as we transition.
We've already discovered one downside to the new name, which is that there is no way to shorten it. We're no longer NAW. We're not the Weekly. So who are we when we want to use fewer than eight syllables? The NorAm? Whoever comes up with a nickname that proves "sticky" will earn our eternal gratitude.

December 26	/ Gerard Butler Fan Club	/ Coriolanus
Gerard Butler interview with Variety Magazine
Gerard Butler has made a career out of confounding his critics. In recent years, the Scottish actor, who recently turned 40, has played everything from an iconic, singing spectre ("The Phantom of the Opera") to a belligerent Spartan king ("300") to a London crook ("RocknRolla) to a bereaved widower seeking brutal vengeance on his family's killers ("Law Abiding Citizen"). Along the way, he's even managed to romance a lady or two.
That diversity in his choice of roles — and ability to mix it across the action, thriller and romantic comedy genres — has seen Gerard Butler emerge as leading man with more range than most.
"Anytime they think they have me pegged as one thing, then the challenge for me is to get out and surprise myself," Gerard Butler explains. "I feel I've only tapped into 10% of what I can do."
For Variety's International Star of the year, the dream to become an actor began, appropriately enough, with an actual dream at the age of 15.
Born in Glasgow, Gerard Butler spent much of his life in nearby Paisley before earning a degree and becoming a lawyer. Despite showing promise in the legal profession — he was elected president of his school's law society — the opportunity to pursue his passion for acting came when he auditioned for a stage production of Shakespeare's Roman tragedy "Coriolanus".
Now, more than two decades later, he is gearing up to star in a big screen adaptation of the play opposite Ralph Fiennes, who also makes his directorial debut with the project. Gerard Butler hopes that his current streak of box office success will enable him to continue to pursue more challenging and left-field roles.
"If I can keep making movies that perform at the box office, then it allows me to go and move into Shakespeare territory," Gerard Butler says. "I was talking to someone the other day and we were both surprised that I've actually been able to make it. I would always love to go off and make films like 'Dear Frankie' or 'Beowulf' even when there were larger projects around. In the long run that has paid off, but in the short term — especially when those films didn't make any money — it can make you a liability. But I wanted to do those films because I loved them."
This has been a good year for Gerard Butler. The romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth" in which he sparred with Katherine Heigl, and dark thriller "Law Abiding Citizen," co-starring Jamie Foxx, performed well in the U.S. and internationally. A clutch of buzzy projects in the pipeline — including "The Bounty Hunter" opposite Jennifer Aniston and DreamWorks Animation's "How to Train your Dragon" — underline his versatility.
Gerard Butler has also been ramping up activity at the Evil Twins shingle with his producing partner Alan Siegel, with the company nabbing a producer credit alongside the Film Dept. on "Citizen" and an expanding development slate, which includes "Teacher Man," about author Frank McCourt's 30-year career teaching in New York's public schools, and "Slide," about a former baseball player's attempts to fix his relationship with his child and estranged wife.
But don't expect Gerard Butler to give up acting in favor of donning a producer's cap.
"To be honest, 'Law Abiding Citizen' kicked the shit out of me, and it was a real breath of fresh air to work on 'The Bounty Hunter' and not have to worry about all that other stuff," Gerard Butler says.
"I've made two and a half movies and done press for three movies in the past four months, and it made me never want to do movies again because of the press situation," Gerard Butler concedes.

Let's put things into perspective. Dutch Elm disease has wiped out 200 million elm trees all over America.
The emerald ash borer beetle threatens 7.5 billion (with a "b") trees in the United States and billions more at risk in Canada.
The little green Asian beetle arrived in Michigan on a packing crate in 2002.
By 2009, it had already spread to Ohio, Minnesota, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, and West Virginia. It even made its way into Canada.
What's This Got to Do With My Woodpile?
Federal and state laws already exist to prevent infected wood from being transported into non-infected areas.
For example, transporting firewood from an infected area into a non-infected area in Ohio can result in a $4,000 fine.
Basically, the wood in your woodpile should only come from local sources. If you live in an uninfected area, you don't want to put every ash tree around you at risk.
How Can I Stop the Spread of the Emerald Ash Borer?
If you can't have your firewood delivered anymore, no need to fret.
A log splitter - even a small one - makes a world of difference in the amount of effort needed to stock up your woodpile.
Add a reliable chainsaw, and you can still easily save on your winter heating bills while protecting the ash trees in your neighborhood.
If you live near a camping area, a larger log splitter can mean extra income, too. Campers shouldn't bring firewood with them anymore. That's what brought the emerald ash borer to the popular New River Gorge area.
Having local wood available will still allow campfire s'mores while keeping the nasty bug at bay.
A $2,000 log splitter is a lot less expensive than a $4,000 fine and infected trees in your neighborhood.

A Place of Time Recovered
direct commission
The Place of Time Recovered is a small-scale architectural intervention consisting of a inscription on the façade of a historical residence, of a greenhouse, and of a new dépendence to serve as additional space for short-term artists' residences.
I have led the projects of both the greenhouse, which were designed together with Piotr Bujas and Paweł Krzaczkowski.

New inscription: «Presence»
Original inscription.
Preparing the new letters.
Mounting the new letters.
AR-019-1
Work on the inscription «Presence» was carried out by Paweł Krzaczkowski, Piotr Bujas and the Szumski family.
Translated by Konrad Brynda from the original source in Polish:
The reconstruction of the lettering of the Felsbaude mountain hotel, which is being undertaken as part of the campaign, is based on the finding of a set of original letters we made during inventory work in the attic of this building. It became our starting point for a typographic intervention that would soon appear on the front of the building, referring in size and placement to the original lettering of the hotel's name.
The word 'presence' carries a multiplicity of events. Here we further juxtapose its ambiguity with two different lexical orders, typographic traditions and cultural layers. Above all, it represents for us a cosy manifesto of peripheral presence, as a choice that creates the conditions for activities detached from media spectacle and artistic (over)production. We want to create a place free from the pressures of creative productivity and the compulsion to be constantly in circulation. A place created with "anti-residents" in mind and dedicated to free time, rest, concentration, which is not easy to find in the traditional residency format. We therefore think of the Mountain Lighthouse as a place for reclaimed time. This is why we place as much emphasis as possible in our conceptual and craftsmanship on respecting the principles of processing materials and ideas by drawing from the immediate environment. The letters, cast in lightweight concrete, required the reconstruction of a fractional typeface - only available in the form of single surviving letters - most likely developed in the late 1930s/40s by a local graphic designer.

«Refuge for Unwanted Plants»
collaboration: Piotr Bujas, Paweł Krzaczkowski
Translated by Konrad Brynda from the original description in Polish:
The next stage involves the installation of a greenhouse/orangery – the Refuge for Unwanted Plants. The architecture of the building will test the possibilities of reusing locally sourced materials while providing space for plants from, amongst others, decommissioned sanatoria in Lower Silesia. We see the small structure consisting of a metal frame filled with reclaimed windows as a manifestation of an approach to the local landscape – both cultural and natural – which puts these values at the centre through, for instance, the use of suitable materials. Our intention is also to reclaim the tangible 'materiality' of surviving relics of unfinished buildings in the form of the original brickwork and wooden elements. The greenhouse will form a functional ensemble together with the planned Mountain Lighthouse (see below) – a small solitary house for artists. The greenhouse and the lighthouse will be united by a common platform/terrace space. They will contribute to the future body of the Cinema Theatre's cultural establishment.

Q: How can I list all recent jobs for a GitLab Runner? I'm interested in listing all the jobs that has run on a GitLab Runner for a specific period (the last six months in my case). Or to be more precise: I want to find all projects that has had a job run. Is there a way to do this, either through the web interface or by logging into the runner?
In the web interface I've tried looking in Admin Area > Runners > [Select_specific_runner]. Here I can see "Recent jobs served by this Runner", but this only lists the last 30 runs.
I've also tried experimenting with the gitlab-runner command from the command line, but I haven't found a way to list actual runs.

A: I doubt there is a UI page for that now.
Funny enough it was possible a couple of major versions ago - to see jobs done by a runner on its page.
But most certainly you can do that via GitLab API:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/jobs.html
It could be even simpler if using API client, say this one for Python: https://python-gitlab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api-usage.html

Q: Functions similar to "LEFT JOIN" in VBA? I am looking to gather some data, which is stored in two different databases (one MS-SQL and one DB2), which has an ID column in common. However, from what I know, it is not possible in any way to join these in SQL, due to the different databases.
So my question is, if it is possible to join them in VBA (which is where I will be using the data), with a result similar to that a "LEFT JOIN" would produce, if the tables were all located in the same database?

US expat tax reform petition to be delivered to White House
Petition predicts that territorial taxation would lead to an increase in American exports
A petition calling for "territorial taxation for individuals" (TTI) for US citizens to be included in the Tax Reform Package currently under review by the American Senate and Congress is to be delivered to US President Donald Trump on Monday.
The petition – being circulated by Republicans Overseas – calls for an end to citizen based taxation (CBT), which mandates that American citizens living abroad pay taxes both to their country of residency and to the US government.
According to the document, territorial taxation would be "tax-revenue positive" for individuals, as it "eliminates current loopholes that allow wealthy foreigners not resident in the United States to generate substantial income…without paying their fair share of tax."
Additionally, the petition predicts that territorial taxation would lead to an increase in American exports.
"Due to CBT, Americans overseas are at least 35 percent more expensive to hire than their foreign counterparts," the petition reads. "Territorial taxation would make employing Americans overseas more affordable, and more Americans overseas will lead to more exports of American goods and services."
Other benefits of territorial taxation cited by the petition include attracting skilled immigration by individuals who would avoid tax implications caused by foreign businesses and income, and an end to the "discriminatory costs of tax compliance" on overseas Americans.
In the UAE, Americans from both sides of the political spectrum have voiced their support for territorial taxation.
"The general concept of citizen based taxation is wrong," Dr. Steven Anderson, the Chairman of Republicans Overseas – UAE said. "We want territorial taxation, or, in other words, taxation at where you are a resident."
"With FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) the United States government coerced foreign banks to implement measures and comply with their request that all American-owned bank accounts over a low threshold need to have their account balance forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service," he added. "And this is monthly."
Dr. Anderson added that, in his opinion, FATCA's "arrogance" forces international financial institutions to "break their own country's laws, involving the most basic of citizen's rights."
Despite the fact that Democrats Abroad supports residence-based taxation (RBT) rather than TTI, Democrats Abroad UAE Spokesman Tony Graham said he was supporting the effort to include TTI in the Tax Reform Package.
"Both RBT and TTI would solve the problem," he told Arabia Business. "The principle (of both models) is that those of us living overseas don't benefit from US government services, so why should we have to pay tax?"
"I'm taking the pragmatic view that the Republicans are in charge now, and TTI addresses the issues faced by American expats," he added.

Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina needs to be tough as nails in running a government fraught with internal and external challenges
Despite the absence of strong, credible opposition in Bangladesh's new parliament, Sheikh Hasina cannot afford to let her guards down after being sworn in as the prime minister for the third consecutive time.
Fans, Foes, Fundamentalists: How Bangladesh's polity is shaping up after the Parliamentary polls
More powerful than ever before, PM Sheikh Hasina is working overtime to achieve her election objectives. But her dalliances with Islamist parties remain a matter of concern.
Bangladesh Parliamentary polls: Resounding victory for Sheikh Hasina. But what next ?
Her triumph has also trounced any plans from Pakistan to create instability. But her real victory will be only when she addresses the challenges that lie ahead.

NIA's busting of an ISIS-inspired terror module is laudable, but we cannot afford any complacency now
The NIA arrested 10 people in the raids across Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. They have also recovered explosives, arms and a rocket launcher. In all this, they have been aided by valuable intel on radicalised youth inspired by the deadly ISIS.
Why Delhi should be watching approaching elections in Dhaka very closely
As polling fever rises, large-scale clashes appear likely. But the violence wouldn't be limited there. If Pakistani groups have their way, it would impact even India's security.
Why Rohingyas continue to dominate headlines
Security analysts reckon that most of the Rohingya refugees are vulnerable to radicalisation.

PM urges Foreign Ministry to resume visa waiver policy for tourism reopening
The Government Office has sent a document to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) requesting to restore the visa waiver policy as applied before the Covid-19 outbreak. Vietnam plans to fully reopen the tourism market from March 15.
In early 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, as per the request of MOFA, the PM decided to suspend the visa waiver (unilateral and bilateral) policy under a plan on travel restrictions.
Now, in order to 'flexibly and safely adapt to Covid-19 and effectively control the pandemic' and reopen the tourism market from March 15 as planned by the Mininstry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) in Document No 440 dated February 15 and No464 dated February 17, the PM asked MOFA to make a statement to the Government about the resumption of the visa waiver policy.
As per the request of MCST on the granting of visas in the new normal, from March 15, Vietnam will stop using measures to restrict visa granting, and visa policies will be restored as applied before the pandemic, including electronic visa issuance and bilateral and unilateral visa waivers.
Vietnam unilaterally waives visas for citizens from 13 countries and bilaterally waives visas for 88 countries/territories.
Experts have urged state management agencies to take measures to reopen the market and promote tourism.
Luong Hoai Nam, an aviation and tourism expert, and member of the Tourism Advisory Board (TAB), said Vietnam has received foreign travelers to Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Quang Nam and Da Nang on a trial basis, while Thailand and Cambodia opened their markets in November 2021. He believes that Vietnam has been too slow in reopening tourism.
He said that Vietnam needs to reopen soon and conditions should be as open as possible. Previously, Vietnam earned $1 billion from foreign travelers every two weeks. The market has been closed to most foreigners for two years.
Vietnam needs restore the visa waiver policy and immediately make announcement. The visa policy plays a very important role in restoring tourism, he said.
Nam said Vietnam should resume the visa waiver policy for the 13 markets and expand the policy to the entire EU, Australia and New Zealand as well.
As for the US and China, if Vietnam does not apply the visa waiver for these markets, it should consider granting long-term visas (5-10 years).
"Visas are the second important factor, just after Covid-19, that needs special attention," Nam said.
Nguyen Thu Ha, Director of Tam Nhin Viet, thinks the number of foreign travelers to Vietnam in Q1 and Q2 will not be high, because foreign travelers mostly draw up their tourism plans six months or one year in advance.
Ngoc Ha
The Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism has proposed the Government resumes pre-pandemic waivers of visas for tourists from 24 countries when the country restarts international tourism.

The Trail Blazers' playoff run is over, almost before it started.
Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday each achieved career playoff scoring highs as the New Orleans Pelicans held off the Portland Trail Blazers 131-123 Saturday at Smoothie King Center.
Davis scored 47 points and Holiday 41 for the Pelicans, who clinched the best-of-seven playoff series with a four-game sweep. Rajon Rondo dished out 16 assists to go with seven points and seven rebounds for New Orleans, which shot .570 from the field.
CJ McCollum had 38 points, Al-Farouq Aminu added 27 points and Jusuf Nurkic contributed 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers, who have lost nine straight playoff games dating to 2016.
Damian Lillard finished with 19 points, six assists and five rebounds, but Portland's All-Star point guard struggled again with his shot, going 7 for 16 from the field and 1 for 5 from 3-point range.
It was the best offensive performance of the series for Portland, which shot .526 from the field and scored 67 points in the second half. The Blazers cut a 15-point third-quarter deficit to one late in the game, but could never take the lead.
The Pelicans, who led 58-56 through a chippy, contentious first half, scored 42 points in the third quarter, taking an 87-72 lead late in the quarter. The difference was 100-87 heading into the fourth quarter.
The Blazers scored the first five points of the final period, though, and kept coming. When Aminu scored off a fast-break, they were within 112-111 with 5:06 remaining. But Davis converted a three-point play to give New Orleans a 115-111 lead with 4:56 remaining.
Nurkic made a reverse playup, but Davis drilled a 3 to make it 118-113. Lillard's jumper got the Blazers to within 118-115 with 4:07 left. Nikola Mirotic split a pair at the line to make it 119-115 with 3:51 to go. McCollum scored on a drive to cut it to 119-117, but Davis dunked a rebound for a 121-117 lead with 3:24 to play.
Evan Turner hit a pair at the line to make it 121-109 with 3:06 left, but Holiday's 3-point shot pushed the Pelicans' lead to 124-119 with 2:44 to go. Davis made two free throws for a 126-119 edge with 2:29 remaining.
Aminu's driving layup drew Portland to within 126-121 with 1:47 to play. Holiday made 1 of 2 foul shots to make it 127-121 with 1:09 left. McCollum's driving layup cut it to 127-123 with one minute to go, but Holiday's jumper pulled the Pelicans ahead 129-123 with 40.4 seconds left.
When Davis sank a pair at the line with 20.9 ticks on the clock, the issue was decided.

ELLEN WALKER , I am the prisoner's sister—she had three children in the beginning of this year—she was never married—the children's names were Ellen, Agnes, and Tommy—Tommy is the baby—Ellen was about four or five years old, and Agnes two years and a half—I saw my sister with her children, on Friday, 15th Feb., at 11 o'clock in the morning—I knew that she had been in the workhouse with all her children before that—she left the workhouse that morning—I saw her at Carston's Mill, in the Cowley-road, leading from Uxbridge—she was at that time coming from the workhouse—I did not go anywhere with her—I met her there, and left her there—I had a little conversation with her, not much—she told me she was going to Portsmouth—she told me she was going to take herself and her three children, and she had not enough money to pay her fare, and she sent back to me in the afternoon for 2s.—she told me she was going to the cither of the last child—I did not see anything more of her on that day—she sent my little girl to me in the afternoon for the 2s.—I gave her the 2s., and a bottle of elder wine for the children, to help them on their journey, and some bread and butter—I saw the dead bodies of the two children, Ellen and Agnes, next morning, at the Anglers' Arms public house.
Cross-examined by MR. SLEIGH. Q. Had this girl always behaved with kindness to her children? A. Yes, very much so—she always treated them kindly and affectionately.
ELIZABETH WALKER . I am twelve years old, and live with my mother at Uxbridge—the prisoner is my aunt—I remember the day upon which the two children were drowned—I had been to the union workhouse that morning—the prisoner was there, and her three children—we all came away from the workhouse together, about 10 o'clock—we came to West Dray ton, to Mr. Tollitt's public house—we got there about half past 12 o'clock—I went home to my mother's after that, with a message from the prisoner, and returned again to Mr. Tollitt's, about 6 o'clock or half past—I found the prisoner and the three children there, as I had left them—I told the prisoner the message I had brought from my mother, and I gave her 2s. and some bread and butter—after I had been there some time, the prisoner went out—I do not know what o'clock it was when she went out—it was not long after I had got back—she took the two children with her—I held the baby—she said she was going to look for a bed for the children—nothing was said about where the children were to sleep—I know Mr. Cousins's, that is the next public house—nothing was said about that when she went out—she was gone about a quarter of an hour or tweoty minutes—she then came back—she had neither of the children with her then—she did not say what she had done with them—I told her to take her luggage to the station—she had brought some luggage with her from the union—she took the luggage, and went away from Mr. Tollitt's—I did not go with
her, I stopped at Mr. Tollitt's—she did not take the baby with her then—she was gone not many minutes—when she returned she took the baby, and put me into the omnibus to go to Uxbridge, where I live—the station is not far from Tollitt's.
Cross-examined. Q. What kind of day was this? was it a fine day, or a rainy day? A. It rained in the morning—Cousins's public house is not far from Tollitt's—it would take me about five minutes to go—you do not go by the side of the canal to get there, you go under the bridge of the station, the railway bridge—I do not know how far the canal is from Tollitt's.
JOSEPH GOODALL . I am a labourer at Ewsley—there is a bridge over the Grand Junction Canal called Ewsley Bridge—I live near that bridge—on the Friday evening that the children were found in the canal, I saw the prisoner near Ewsley Bridge, about half past 6 o'clock—I was on the bridge—the prisoner had two children with her—she was about half way up into the road from the water side, I mean from the towing path—she was coming from the towing path—the towing path comes under the bridge—she was coming from the towing path up into the road—she went down the road on the same side as she came up—that road leads into the Uxbridge road—I did not speak to her then—I saw her again about three minutes afterwards—she came back on the same bridge—both the children were with her—she came back, and asked me if I could tell her where Mr. Turton, the shoemaker, lived, and I told her—he lives in the neighbourhood, on the Uxbridge-road—she then went as if she was going in the direction for Mr. Turton's that is, away from the canal—I afterwards saw her again on Colham Bridge—that was about half past 7 o'clock—she was then alone—there were no children with her—she was then going down towards Mr. Tollitt's towards Dray ton station—there was some one standing on the bridge with me at that time—the prisoner crossed the bridge—she afterwards came back with a baby in her arms—that was two or three minutes afterwards—I was still on the bridge—she asked me if I was speaking to her—I was speaking to a young woman who was along with me—that young woman answered the prisoner, and said, "No"—nothing else passed—the prisoner crossed the bridge, and went right straight along the Uxbridge-road—I saw her again that evening, in the lane that leads from Ewsley Bridge to the Uxbridge-road, about half way in the lane—I think that was about 8 o'clock—she then had her baby in her arms—she was then coming back into the Uxbridge-road from Ewsley Bridge—I did not see anything more of her after that—I afterwards saw the bodies of the children that evening, lying on the bank of the canal, after they had been pulled out of the water—they were close to Ewaley Bridge—that was close to the place where I had first seen the prisoner with the two children that evening—the bodies of the children were afterwards taken to Mr. Rumble's, at the Anglers' Arms.
Cross-examined. Q. When the prisoner asked you where Turton lived, she had not the two children with her, had she not? A. Yes—she had not the children with her when she passed me and the young woman, and asked if we were speaking to her—she had got the baby then—she was walking sharp, but not running—she was about two yards from us at the time she put that question—I was not talking very loud—I do not know that she could have had any reason to suppose we were addressing her—we were not speaking to her.
MR. BODKIN. Q. The bridge she came over then was not the Ewsley Bridge, but another? A. Yes, the Colham Bridge.
COURT. Q. Do you recollect what you were saying just before she past that question? A. No, not particularly, I do not.
MARY ANN GOODALL . I am the sister of the last witness, and live at Ewsley, sixty-three yards from Ewsley Bridge, on the side towards the Uxbridge-road—I was near Ewsley Bridge on the Friday night that the children were found in the canal, about a quarter past 7 o'clock—I saw the prisoner on the bridge—I was by myself at that time—the prisoner had three children with her—she had one in her arms, and one on each side of her—she went down as far as Mr. Stratton's gate, and then turned back again, and came on to the bridge, and I turned and went on towards Ewsley—that is not towards the Uxbridge-road—I turned, and came back—she came back again on to the bridge, and I turned back again to Ewsley—she was then coming from Mr. Stratton's gate on to the bridge—I went on to my own gate, and stood there talking to a young woman—while I was doing so, I turned round and saw the prisoner again—that was at 25 minutes past 7 o'clock, about ten minutes after I had seen her first—she then came up the canal side, and ran towards Drayton—she was by herself—she had nothing in her arms; there was something hanging before her—she came up from the right hand side of the bridge, going over the bridge—that is on the same side as the dock is.
COURT. Q. Did she come up from the same side of Ewsley-bridge that your house is, or the other side? A. The other side.
MR. CLERK. Q. Do you know how far she went at that time past your house? did you lose sight or her A. Yes—I afterwards saw the bodies of the two children lying on the bank of the canal—that was at 25 minutes to 8 o'clock, about a quarter of an hour after I had seen the prisoner go past me—they were on the same side of the bridge as that from which I had seen the prisoner come up.
THOMAS WYMAN . I am a labouring man, residing at Uxbridge. On Friday evening, 15th Feb., I was crossing Ewsley-bridge, about half past 7 o'clock—I was going towards the Trout, from the Uxbridge-road—I looked over the bridge, and saw two objects floating on the surface of the water—I went down to the side of the canal, and looked, and saw they were children—I pulled the eldest child out first, and then the second one—I believe they were quite dead—they had their clothes on—one had her bonnet on; the other had it off—I laid the bodies on the bank by the side of the canal, and went for assistance—they were afterwards taken to the Jolly Anglers, kept by Mr. Rumble—a doctor was sent for directly—I knew nothing of the prisoner or the children.
ALFRED WILLIAM WARDER . I am a surgeon, of Uxbridge. I was sent for to see the bodies of two children, at the Jolly Anglers beer shop, on Friday night, 15th Feb.—I got there between 9 and 10 o'clock—the bodies of two children were shown to me—they were both dead—there were no appearances indicating the cause of death—I examined the bodies externally—there were no injuries about them—the appearances were quite consistent with their having been suffocated by water—I afterwards made a postmortem examination—I have no doubt whatever that they died from suffocation by drowning.
THOMAS COUSINS I keep the Railway Arms public-house, at West Drayton, close by the Great Western Railway station there. Tollitt's house is on the opposite side of the same railway—you go under the railway to it—a person coming from Tollitt's house to mine would have to pass through that arch, and then come immediately to my house—the Grand Junction
canal is straight up the road—a person would not have to pass over the canal in order to go from Tollitt's house to mine—it does not lie between them—it is on the other side of Tollitt's—I know the prisoner by sight—she came to my house on Friday, the 15th, about a quarter before 2 o'clock—she had not her children with her then—she asked me if I had got "Bradshaw's Guide"—I gave her some information about going to Portsmouth—I told her the way to go, and the cheapest way she could do it—she then asked if she could be accommodated with a bed there that night for herself and baby—I said, "Yes," and she then went away—she returned again about a quarter past 7 o'clock—she had no child with her then—she brought a bundle with her, which she left at my house, and went away again—she returned about a quarter past 8 o'clock, with her baby, and a basket—soon afterwards the officers came to my house, and she was taken into custody—she had not made any inquiry of me with respect to two other children sleeping at my house that night.
Cross-examined. Q. Do you know Turton's, the shoemaker's? A. Yes—that is not on the same side of the canal as Tollitt's house—a person going from Tollit's to Turton's would have to cross the canal bridge—the prisoner had no conversation with any person in my house besides myself about a bed.
Q. Are you quite sure she did not say something about having a bed for her babies? A. She said for herself and baby.
JOSEPH HENRY TAYLOR (policeman, T 115). On the evening of 15th Feb. I received information that two children had been found in the canal—they were taken to the Jolly Anglers—I afterwards went in March of a person who had been described to me—I went to Cousins's public-house—that was about half past 8 o'clock—I found the prisoner there, with her baby in her arms—I asked her where she came from when she came there—she said, "From Oxbridge"—I said, "Where might you be going when you leave here?"—she said, "To Paddington"—I said, "Why I ask you these questions is, two children have been found drowned in the canal at Ewsley, and you answer the description of the person that was seen with the children shortly before"—she said, "I don't know where Bwsley is"—I then sent for Goodall and his sister to identify her, and I then took her into custody—previous to my sending for the persons to identify her, she corrected herself, and said, "What am I thinking about? I am not going to Paddington, but to Basingstoke"—on our way to the station we had to go near the Jolly Anglers, and I went in there with the prisoner—the bodies of the children were in the room into which we went—I said to the prisoner, "There are the children that have been found drowned"—she went towards them, and kissed them both, and said, "They are my children; I brought them out of the Union this morning"—she said nothing more—I found a bundle and basket at Mr. Cousins's, which I produce.
Cross-examined. Q. Did you show the jacket and hat which were taken out of the bundle to the little girl, Elizabeth Walker A. Yes, before the Magistrate—Ewsley-bridge is not morje commonly known as the railway bridge—I never heard it called so—I never heard it called by any other name than Ewsley-bridge—it is about two miles from Uxbridge—the examination took place before the Magistrate the next day—Masters, the police constable, was in attendance there that day—he was at the door of the police court while the examination was going on.
MR. BODKIN. Q. He was not examined before the Magistrate? A. No.
MARY SMITH . I am the wife of Thomas Smith, and act as searcher at the
Hillingdon station house. I searched the prisoner when she was brought into that station house on this charge, on Friday, 15th Feb., about a quarter to 10 o'clock—while I was searching her, I said to her, "Oh, dear! oh dear! are you aware what you have been doing of?"—she said, "I am perfectly aware what I have been doing of"—some time after, in the course of the same evening, the wife of the inspector of police came into the room and she said to me, "I wonder she had not served the other child the same," and the prisoner said, "This one has a father, and the others have not"—I found on her 8s. 4d., a pair of scissors, and some letters.
Cross-examined. Q. Did you attend at the Coroners inquest? A. Yes, and gave my evidence there—I had the care of the prisoner that night—I stayed with her from about 12 o'clock till the morning part—before that I was in and out of the room frequently—during my absence from the room there was no other female watching her, or taking care of her—Masters, the policeman, was there—during my absence, he had charge of the prisoner—the longest time I was absent might have been a quarter of an hour, perhaps—I saw Masters all the night—he was on duty there the whole of the night.
WILLIAM TIMEWELL . I am a police inspector, at Hillingdon. I was at the station house there on Friday night, 15th Feb., when the prisoner wag brought there—I took the charge—before I took the charge, I said to her, "You are charged with a very serious offence, and if you say anything it will be told to the Magistrate"—I then proceeded to take the charge—I asked her her name—she said, "Elisabeth Harris"—I said, "Where do you live?"—she said, "I left the Union this morning"—I said, "Then you have no home?—she said, "I was going to see for a home, and I could not leave my children behind me"—that was all she said.
Cross-examined. Q. Was there any one present at the time you entered the charge? A. Yes, Mr. Cousins, and the witness Taylor—when prisoners make a short statement, I always trust to my memory to recollect it, but if it is a long one, I put it in writing—this being a short statement, I trusted to my memory.
MR. BODKIN. Did you prepare this plan (producing one)? A. I got it prepared, and I have walked over the locality—it accurately represents the place.
STEPHEN, MASTERS (policeman, T 199). I remember the night when the prisoner was brought into custody to Hillingdon station house on this charge—I was on duty there that night—I was in the room where the prisoner was—she addressed an observation to me—I cautioned her—I told her that whatever she said would be repeated again—after that she said she wished I her baby was in heaven too—the infant was not with her at that time, it had been sent to the Union—she said she had no wish to live, she had seen too much trouble lately to have any wish to live—she said, "I hope those letters taken from me will not be shown in Court, they are from the father of my last child; he had no knowledge of what I was going to do with the children; he is at Portsmouth, he has sent for me to go to him, but I could not take the children with me, and I would sooner see them drowned than left in the care of others"—"poor things," she said, "they were both afflicted; I took them down by the canal, and under the bridge; they neither I screamed nor cried, either of them; I left my sister's little girl at Tollitt's, and told her I was going to take the other two children to put them to bed—she then asked me if a person would not sink when in the water—I said I did not know, for I never witnessed a case of the kind—she said, "They
did not; if they had, they would not have been found; they did not sink when I put them in, but I did not stay to look at them more than a minute"—this was not all given to me as I have stated it now, it was given in different sentences—I did not make a memorandum of it at the time—I made a written statement of it a few days after, and gave it to the inspector—I was in attendance when the Magistrates were taking the examination of the prisoner—I was stationed at the door of the court on duty—I was not examined before the Magistrates—the examination was on the Saturday, the next day—there was only one examination, she was at once committed.
Cross-examined. Q. Was the examination before the Magistrates held before, or subsequently to, the inquest? A. Before—I attended at the inquest—I first went into the room in which the prisoner was confined about 10 o'clock at night—Mrs. Smith was in the room when I first went in—I was in and out of the room, I did not stop constantly in the room, for the first half hour; I lighted a fire, and Mrs. Smith stopped with her while I was doing that—half an hour elapsed before Mrs. Smith left the room—no conversation had taken place between me and the prisoner before Mrs. Smith left the room—this statement of the prisoner's was made in different sentences—it was all made within the space of half an hour—some of it was while Mrs. Smith was in the room; that part about the letters, saying she hoped they would not be shown in Court, as they were from the father of her last child, and he had no kriowlege of what she was going to do with the children—that was the commencement of what she said to me—I cautioned her as soon as she commenced speaking—the first thing she said to me was, that she wished her baby was in heaven too—Mrs. Smith was not present then—I cannot say exactly how long Mrs. Smith had been out of the room when the prisoner said that; she was in and out of the room all the early part of the night—I did not tell her that the prisoner had said something to me about wishing her baby in heaven, nor that I had cautioned her as to. what she might say—I did not ask Mrs. Smith to come in and listen to any part of this conversation—I have been in the police force nearly thirteen years, and have been twelve years in that same district—I had known the prisoner for several years.
Q. When this poor creature said she wished her baby was in heaven too, did you say to her "You can easily have another"? A. I did not, nothing of the kind—I did not make any communication to Mrs. Smith during any portion of the night, touching that which the prisoner had communicated to me, nor to any other person during the night—the inspector was not on duty there after 1 o'clock—I was in the room with the prisoner all night, and Mrs. Smith also, from 1 o'clock, or shortly after—the inspector came in just before 1 o'clock—I did not make any statement then to him as to what the prisoner had said to me—I made a statement to the inspector next morning—I repeated to him that which the prisoner had said to me during the night—I attended at the police court that day—I did not offer myself as a witness—it was either on the Monday or Tuesday that I gave the written statement to the inspector—it was the day before the inquest was held.
MR. BODKIN. Q. I think you say you have been twelve years in that district? A. I have—I am a married man, and have six children.
ELLEN WALKER re-examined. This jacket is what the eldest child, Ellen, used to wear, and this hat was Agnes's—Ellen was lame—I do not know that there was anything the matter with the other.
GUILTY . Aged 25.— DEATH .
Before Mr. Justice Crompton.

Honda's Yusuke Hasegawa: "Changeable conditions mean anything can happen."
By Megan Cantle
Credit: McLaren Media Centre
Honda R&D Co.Ltd Head of F1 Project and Executive Chief Engineer, Yusuke Hasegawa, expects the Malaysian Grand Prix to be a challenging race for the McLaren Honda Formula 1 Team.
The team had a promising race at the Singapore Grand Prix two weeks ago, but it is unlikely that they will be able to emulate their pace this weekend going into a circuit that does not suit their car. The long straights and sweeping corners mean that the deficiencies of the Honda power unit will be amplified.
""The layout of Sepang International Circuit is a mixture of long straights and sweeping corners, which will no doubt make for an exciting race," commented Hasegawa.
"Despite it being a power-hungry track, the changeable conditions mean anything can happen, so hopefully if we prepare well we can capitalise on any opportunities that come our way and break into the points."
The McLaren had been expected to look good around the Marina Bay Street Circuit at the last Grand Prix, and this was shown throughout the Free Practices, where the drivers sat fifth and sixth fastest at one point.
Unfortunately for Fernando Alonso, his race was over before it had begun after being caught up in the first lap carnage, but Stoffel Vandoorne finished a career-best seventh position.
"Last time out in Singapore we had mixed fortunes. Fernando was involved in an unfortunate incident and ultimately retired, while Stoffel's pace was competitive and he drove incredibly well, eventually crossing the line in P7.
"Overall it was positive that we were competitive throughout the weekend and came away with some precious points."
Fortunately, the collision did not cause damage to Alonso's power unit, meaning that he goes into the weekend without grid penalties (at this point).
"Regarding Fernando's Singapore power unit, we were concerned that it may have been irreparably damaged, but fortunately after a thorough check back at the Sakura factory we can confirm it is okay to be re-used."

Coronavirus Restrictions in Europe Likely to Disrupt 2021 Preparations – Esteban Ocon
Esteban Ocon feels restrictions in place across Europe are likely to affect his preparations for the 2021 Formula 1 season.


Mangaluru, Nov 3, 2015 : Moideen, brother of Madoor Isubu who was hacked to death in Mangaluru sub jail stated that on his brother Madoor Isubu had a life threat since last two months. The family had brought the issue to the notice of City Police Commissioner. He was murdered due to the negligence of the police personnel.
Moideen went on to say that his brother had informed it to his advocate as well. Jaseema, Isubu's wife and Moideen had met City Police Commissioner two months ago and had sought special security for Isubu. Had the police taken measures, he would not have been murdered.
Moideen is reported to have said publicly that even a complaint to the senior jail officials had no effect.No measures to provide security to his brother materialised. He was murdered with the help of prison staff he accused. He added that sharp weapons could not enter inside the jail without the help of the staff. There were clashes going on in the prison for the last few days.
City Police Commissioner S Murugan requested the family members as well as the public who had come to the mortuary where the bodies were kept, not to communalise the murder. The Commissioner said that DCP (crime) Dr M Sanjeev Patil will probe into the incident. All those involved in the incident will be brought to the book. The Commissioner appealed to public not to disrupt peace in the society by giving a communal angle to the murder inside the jail.
According to sources, a group of youth who were arrested in connection with a recent murder case had directly involved in the double murder inside the jail. The group had been engaged in scuffle with Isubu and his accomplice since the day they entered the jail. The team of police are looking for those who threw sharp -edged weapons inside the jail.
In the past : Following a clash between Rasheed Malbari and Madoor Isubu on October 29, 2012, Isubu and his team were shifted to Mysuru. However, Isubu was shifted to Mangaluru, after Malbari was released on bail.
In a group clash between police personnel and undertrials, at least half a dozen police personnel including an Assistant Commissioner of Police and three undertrials suffered injuries inside the jail in Mangaluru on June 8, 2014. The trouble had begun when police arrived at the prison to shift two undertrials from Mangaluru to Dharwad prison.
Jail Security : With the murder of two undertrials inside the Mangaluru jail, the security system inside the jail has been questioned. The new prison building built next to the old structure has been designed to accommodate around 220 inmates. The average number of inmates in the prison was around 380 to 430 for the last few months. The inmates are being housed in two separate set of cells based on the community they belong to in order to prevent clashes between the groups. Closed-circuit cameras are installed in cells to monitor their movements.
As a precautionary measure, additional forces have been deployed in Madoor, the home town of Madoor Isubu, where he was laid to rest in the evening.

Statement for second-order mixed partial of function of two variables
Suppose is a real-valued function of two variables and is defined on an open subset of . Suppose further that both the second-order mixed partial derivatives and exist and are continuous on . Then, we have:
on all of .
The statement can be generalized in two ways:
We can generalize it to higher-order partial derivatives.
We can generalize it to functions of more than two variables.
The general version states the following. Suppose is a function of variables defined on an open subset of . Suppose all mixed partials with a certain number of differentiations in each input variable exist and are continuous on . Then, all the mixed partials are continuous.
Some examples are given below:
Suppose is a function of two variables and , and the three mixed partials exist and are continuous on an open subset of . Then, all three of them are equal on . (Note that these mixed partials all involve differentiating twice with respect to and once with respect to ).
Suppose is a function of three variables , and the six mixed partials exist and are continuous on an open subset of . Then, all six of them are equal on .
CAUTION: This general version of Clairaut's theorem does not merely state that if two higher-order mixed partials that involve the same number of differentiations in each variable are continuous, they must be equal. Rather, they require all the higher-order mixed partials of that type to be defined and continuous. The reason is that in the proof of this using Clairaut's theorem for second-order mixed partials, we may need to go via the other higher-order mixed partials and hence need those to exist and be continuous as well. Thus, the generalization does not say, for instance, that if and exist and are continuous, they must be equal.
We can formulate a slightly stronger version of this general statement, that only requires the continuity of certain specific other partial derivatives, but this would get too complicated.
Note: The video below will probably be replaced by a better video that covers the subtleties better, but it's provisionally okay.
Particular cases
Clairaut's theorem can be verified in a number of special cases through direct computations. Some of these are illustrated below.
Additively separable functions
For further information, refer: Additively separable function
Suppose is an additively separable function of two variables, i.e., we can write:
where are both functions of one variable. Assume that both and are both differentiable. Then, we have:
Differentiating each of these a second time with respect to the other variable, we obtain that:
Thus, we see that both second-order mixed partial derivatives are the zero function. In particular, they are equal to each other.
Multiplicatively separable functions
For further information, refer: Multiplicatively separable function
Suppose is a multiplicatively separable function of two variables, i.e., we can write:
We thus see that both the second-order mixed partial derivatives are equal.
Note that the proof for multiplicatively separable functions can be easily generalized to functions that are expressible as sums of multiplicatively separable functions. This, therefore, includes all polynomial functions.
Failure of Clairaut's theorem where only one of the mixed partials is defined
Failure of Clairaut's theorem where both mixed partials are defined but not equal (this happens because one or both of them is not continuous)
Key computation as a double limit at a point
Based on the definition as a double limit at a point, we have:
Now, conditional to the existence of this expression, we can use that limit is linear to combine the two limits in the inner sum on the right side and get:
With some simple algebraic tidying up, this becomes:
A similar calculation for the other mixed partial yields that:
We notice that, although the terms are written in a slightly different order, the expressions whose limit is being computed is the same in both cases. The only difference between the two cases is the order in which we are taking limits. In the case, we take the limit with respect to on the inside, and then take the limit with respect to on the outside. In the case, we take the limit with respect to on the inside, and then take the limit with respect to on the outside.

Iran Nuclear Talks
G5+1 should take a brave decision in talks with Iran: Official
Tehran, Nov 9, IRNA – G5+1 should take a brave political decision to resolve nuclear dispute with Iran, spokesman of Iran Atomic Energy Organization Behrouz Kamalvandi said on Sunday.

This Day in Computer History: November 9
Computer Hardware / By Pipedreamergrey / Computer Hardware News & Developments: All The Latest News, Product Launches, Opinions & Events In The World Of Computing
This Day in Computer History
ENIAC, which was the first general-purpose electronic computer, was shut down for refurbishment and a memory upgrade before being moved to the U.S. Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland in 1947.
NORAD alerted the United States Defense Command of inbound Soviet missiles, which, when intercepted by jet fighters, turned out to be a false alarm. Officials would later discover that the incident had been precipitated by a "war game" tape that was loaded on the system.
Apple Computer released an upgraded version of the Apple III that addressed the initial model's widespread reliability issues. The new model featured a new set of hardware sockets, an optional 5 MB hard drive, and updated software. Despite doubling the system's price, the $3,495 hard drive would briefly provide Apple with a crucial market advantage over IBM, as IBM's market-dominating PC wasn't yet equipped with a hard drive.
Netscape Communications Corporation acquired collaborative software developer Collabra Software, primarily for the company's news server.
Netscape Communicator 4.08, the last version for sixteen-bit computers, was released.
Microsoft released DirectX 8.
A test of the ability to use Chinese, Korean, and Japanese domains was first launched by VeriSign. The test site, and the future service to follow, provided users with the ability to register second-level domains in non-English scripts while still requiring the top level domains (TLDs) common to the entire internet: .com, .net, .org., .info, etc. China publicly restrains internal registration of Chinese-script domains and announced to the global community that registration of such domains were its sovereign right. Little to no resistance was mounted against China's seizure of control.
The first public release of the open source Firefox web browser, version 1.0, is released by the Mozilla Foundation. The release is the first to include Firefox's widely-renowned "find toolbar," RSS feed support, and an automated plug-in finder. Mozilla released version 1.0 in a dozen initial localized builds aside from the English build, and, within only sixteen weeks of Firefox's release, the browser would be the preferred internet client of over twenty-three million users globally. Project leader Ben Goodger, Dave Hyatt, and Blake Ross created the browser. Codename: Phoenix.
IBM released AIX 6.1 (Advanced Interactive eXecutive), the latest version of the company's proprietary operating system. AIX is capable of operating on a system with as many as sixty-four IBM POWER or PowerPC CPUs and a minimum of 2 TB of RAM.
This post is part of the series: A Chronology of Computer History for the Month of November: This Day in Computer History
This series provides a daily account of what happened on this day in the history of computing and technology. It discusses developments, breaking news, new releases and global implications that occurred as a result of these ground breaking events.

The department of Sociology at CSUDH is committed to its mission of sociology in service to community. The department is composed of a diverse, innovative and stimulating faculty who teach and pursue research in a variety of areas that are important in today's global societies. The sociology faculty offers undergraduate and graduate programs with several emphases that respond directly to the needs of today's students. We offer a wide range of opportunities to engage in service learning, applied research and community studies and organizing.
Undergraduate majors and minors may concentrate their studies in a variety of areas including applied research, community studies, criminology and justice studies, the helping professions and social change in global context. Sociology prepares students for careers in social work, law, criminal justice, government, non-profit and community, and international organizations, education, gerontology, medicine, community service, urban planning, politics, business, academia, human resources and applied research.
Undergraduates majoring in sociology may elect to concentrate their studies in any of the areas mentioned above or in an area designed in consultation with faculty to best fit their academic or professional goals. Students majoring in other disciplines or professional programs may tailor a minor in sociology to complement their major field of study. A minor in Sociology complements a wide range of majors, including psychology, political science, computer science, liberal studies, human services, public administration and many others.
Undergraduate course offerings may be found by consulting the online school catalog for Sociology here.
Total course requirements for Undergraduate Bachelors Degree may be found consulting the online school catalog for Sociology here.
The Sociology Department recommends that each student select an area for the major or minor. At least four elective courses should be taken from that chosen area of study (Upon consultation with an advisor a student may elect to substitute another course for one in his/her specialty).
Five courses selected upon advisement (a maximum of three lower division units may apply toward the minor). The department also provides advisors who pay particular attention to the professional needs of students working in the technical, administrative and business fields. Minor areas may be "tailor-made" to meet the specific educational interests and career needs of students (see previous academic advisement section).


Our educators use small classes, real-time drills, and one-on-one feedback to develop the skills and natural leadership of your team members. Contact us for more information about emergency preparedness and assistance with the internal emergency protection program at your workplace!
Nothing fosters teamwork and preparedness like CPR/ AED and First Aid group training! Emergency preparedness can help make your workplace a safer place for everyone.
They're called emergencies because no one expects them. When a co-worker's heart suddenly stops beating, his probability of survival will decline about 10% for every minute that passes without CPR and defibrillation. Often, survival is a matter of what one employee can do for another very quickly.
When a spill or release threatens your people (or productivity), it pays to have a well-trained chemical spill team on hand. Teams are designed and trained to your specifications, including: HazMat identification, spill containment, personnel evacuation, and incident mitigation.

John Kasich's gubernatorial (and presidential) playbook is all about jobs, but does it hold up? Brent Larkin
Updated: Feb. 15, 2014, 12:51 p.m. |
Published: Feb. 15, 2014, 11:51 a.m.
Gov. John Kasich
Brent Larkin, cleveland.com
Three little words enabled Jim Rhodes to serve almost twice as long as any governor in Ohio history.
"Jobs and progress" was Rhodes' Holy Grail, the most sacred part of his political vocabulary, his connection to millions of working-class Ohioans. Six times, Rhodes pitched his devotion to "jobs and progress" in campaigns for governor, losing only the first and last.
The details of that sales pitch were often left to others. From Rhodes, "The average Ohioan wants a job and wants to be left alone," was an exhaustive explanation.
From day one of his governorship, John Kasich has borrowed his laser-like focus on jobs from the Rhodes playbook. While Kasich is more sophisticated than his Republican predecessor, he lacks the folksy charm that enabled Rhodes to connect so easily with voters.
Kasich's obsession with job growth is admirable. Less so is the use of Ohio's jobs numbers by both the administration and Ohio Republican Party.
Jim Rhodes had a knack for making it seem he was selling Ohio. Kasich too often comes across as if he's selling himself.
The state party and Kasich campaign now constantly trumpet that in Kasich's three-plus years as governor, Ohio is "ninth in the nation in private sector job creation." But because it's based on raw job numbers, the ninth-in-the-nation boast is hardly an apples-to-apples comparison.
As an aside, even if it were a fair ranking, it would hardly be anything to brag about. Ohio is the nation's seventh largest state, so even use of the misleading ranking depicts a state with a below-average, job-creation record.
Comparing the raw numbers of jobs created in Ohio with states like Rhode Island, Wyoming and Montana is intellectually dishonest. One needn't be an economist to understand that any comparisons of populations of wildly different sizes require rankings that involve relativity. In other words, percentage changes matter a million times more that raw numbers in comparing job growth in the 50 states.
And that's why economists, including those with the U.S. Department of Labor, the Pew Center and countless other organizations, make job-growth comparisons by using formulas that rely largely on percentage changes that adjust for size.
"To be valid, that's the only way to do it," said Cleveland-based economist George Zeller.
Using changes in employment based on a percentage of the workforce compiled by the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, let's look at where Ohio has really ranked in private-sector job growth on Kasich's watch:
2011 - 13th
2012 - 21st
That's a long way from ninth. In fact, in 2013, unemployment in Ohio actually increased. It is now nearly a half-point higher than the national average.
Kasich can make a case for re-election without comparing job growth in Ohio to states with a small fraction of Ohio's population. And he's brought a commitment to and understanding of the state's urban areas sorely lacking in his predecessor.
So, why the need for over-the-top rhetoric?
First, it's a function of Kasich's high-energy, unfiltered, undisciplined personality.
Foremost, it's all part of an obsession with creating a compelling narrative for Kasich's presidential run in 2016.
I used to think the liberties Team Kasich takes in describing his record would catch up to them. But a fawning Jan. 29 Kasich profile in the National Journal made me less certain. The Journal piece seemed to accept Kasich's "Ohio miracle" as a given, saying he has "presided over a Rust Belt renaissance" and owns a resume that "compares favorably" with any other potential Republican candidate.
Despite furious spin from leading Democrats to the contrary, Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald's campaign is in trouble. The national news media are beginning to write FitzGerald off, which might tend to dry up his ability to raise money from out of state. If FitzGerald's fundraising doesn't improve soon, only a Statehouse scandal can save him.
Kasich strategists know they're the odds-on favorite to win in November, so only one thing can explain the need to pad the resume with unfair job-growth comparisons. And the most compelling evidence that he's likely to run for president is that Kasich now seems to be running away from what many consider his most significant accomplishment -- accepting federal money to expand Medicaid services for the poor.
The Republican right hates Medicaid expansion. The Wall Street Journal's editorial page ripped Kasich for supporting it. Now, Kasich rarely, if ever, talks about it.
Perhaps even more telling is the section on Kasich's re-election website entitled "Fighting for the Underdog." The website lists six examples. Medicaid expansion, the biggest, most important fight for the underdog of them all, isn't one of them.
That's a telltale sign Kasich is one election win in Ohio away from seeking additional wins in Iowa and New Hampshire.

First off, Waynesboro progressives are interesting progressives. I count as key members of the progressive base several people who I know (from having looked 'em up online!) give money regularly to not only Emmett Hanger but also Steve Landes and Bob Goodlatte when they're running for re-election.
That's an indication of how far to the extreme right the right is here in Waynesboro. Those over in the middle look like pinko commie liberals in comparison.
So our tent is big. Had to get that out there for starters.
The big question – one I haven't been able to get my hands around since I outed myself as a politically interested person two years ago when I declared and ran for City Council – what do we stand for?


Color Me Badd are famous for being "All 4 Love," but singer Bryan Abrams was arrested for a lack of love.
On Saturday night, Color Me Badd was performing at a casino in New York, when Bryan randomly shoved fellow band member Mark Calderon onstage at the end of the show. Mark fell over, and crashed into some sound equipment. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated for neck and back pain.
Bryan had been struggling with his voice, and he'd left the stage earlier. It sounds like alcohol was a factor, and jealousy too. Sources say that when he shoved Mark he screamed, "I'm mother[effing] Color Me Badd!"
Bryan was arrested and booked for misdemeanor assault, and was released after posting $2,000 bail.

as well. And these sunglasses I got at Sundance. I'm not responsible for any of these clothes." He spins around and admires the dog portraits. I point to a photo of the soviet space dog Laika and tell him all these dogs died in space. "So they put them up there, and then they die?" he asks. "I don't get it. What's the point?" It's a good question.
For a rising star with a year of upcoming releases, including Metallica Through the Never, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Life After Beth, and Kill Your Darlings, DeHaan remains pragmatic and grounded. For the past three years, he's been filming on location and the hard work has paid off. He's found that, through booking his roles simultaneously he has a great shot at not being typecast. "People are so quick to say, 'This is what you do as an actor.' No, actually, what I do as an actor is I act different parts. So if you saw me do one thing, and you thought I was good, maybe it's not that I'm good at doing one thing, but I'm just good at being an actor." He refers to his friend and co-star Daniel Radcliffe with sincere admiration for his ability to take leaps into cinema outside of Harry Potter. "He's just in it for the right reason. I'm in it for the right reason." This is the mantra to guide the talented actor through the gauntlet of disparate, and often troubled, personalities he plays.
We take a stroll through the museum's collection of "vulgar knowledge" and DeHaan says, "I thought maybe I would never act. I had no expectation to ever work. I'm a very realistic person, so I was very aware that the statistics were against me." We walk by an antique baby garment encased in glass, and he continues, "In school, they prepare you to be unsuccessful. They talk about the struggle of it and how to get by, but they never say: Also, maybe this could work out." He takes a deeper look at the baby clothes and squints while reading the plaque, shaking his head, and says, "I feel like these exhibits are all things that grandparents tell you that aren't true at all." With an affected crackled old Pepperidge Farm voice: "When I was a kid, I used to wear boys' clothes, and it made me more attractive." Perhaps it's exhaustion, or maybe the host of dark brooding roles he's played in the past, like his breakout super-power tortured villain in Chronicle, but DeHaan's sense of humor is decidedly dry and dark.
He gazes into a glass case daintily displaying old liquor bottles supposedly found in a family's trailer home and continues, "I find it hard to have a healthy relationship with L.A. I know very few people who have truly healthy relationships with this city, who are here for the right reasons. I'm always jealous of those people." In fact, for the two years DeHaan called Los Angeles home, he was traveling all over the world to shoot films. He says there were nights when he would come home from shooting with no idea what to do with himself or where to go in the sprawl of the city. New York and Brooklyn are like family to DeHaan, which makes it fortuitous that The Amazing Spider-Man 2, in which DeHaan plays trust-fund baby hipster Harry Osborne, was shot completely in the city with a budget big enough to afford him many months there on set.
We enter a room with stereoflorogram images hanging on the walls, which are basically highly detailed holographic 3-D images of flowers. Another visitor tells us that if we touch the images, plaques will light up and tell us about them. We then spend a good thirty seconds pressing on all the images, and absolutely nothing happens. I mention that it feels like the museum has hidden cameras in this room, and DeHaan replies, "I think this whole museum is just a study on people and what you can make them do." And even as he says this, he continues to touch the images, just in case, and speaks of his role as Lucien Carr. "Lucien is the kind of person who incites and provokes people. He's very self-aware. He's aware of his ability to charm and make people fall in love with him. He can make people do whatever he wants." To prepare for the role, DeHaan researched Carr's life previous to the infamous murder that framed most of his adulthood, and he found numerous anecdotes of Carr sinking a ship just so he could know what it felt like to stand on a drowning vessel, or ordering the most expensive raw steak at a restaurant just so he could throw it in the waiter's face. The note of privilege, in both his role as Carr and Harry Osborne, seem to strangely overlap but DeHaan manages to make privilege a highly complex situation for his characters. When I ask him what wealthy Spider-Man antagonist Harry Osborne's largest weak point is, he says simply, "We all know money doesn't buy happiness." I give a little cynical laugh, but DeHaan really feels it.

Although unionized workers have rarely represented more than a small minority of the population anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa, trade unions have played, and continue to play, a significant political role. Trade unions still occupy strategic choke points in many African economies, particularly around transport infrastructure, and retain a spatially concentrated organizational base as well as a degree of symbolic power drawn from participation in struggles against colonialism, apartheid, and authoritarianism. Three persistent dilemmas have strongly shaped the role of African trade unions and driven much of the academic debate about them. First are debates about the relationships between trade unions and political parties. These date to the often-fraught relationships between unions and anti-colonial movements in the last years of colonial rule. Pitched struggles, both within trade unions and between unions and governing parties, were often fought in the decade after the end of formal colonization over the degree of autonomy that unions should have from governing parties. These were often resolved through the widespread repression of politically independent unionism in the 1970s. This relationship, however, became untenable under processes of structural adjustment, and unions have often played a significant role in protests against neoliberal reforms, which have spurred widespread political transformation. Second are debates about the relationships of trade unions to non-unionized workers, especially the unemployed or the "informal" sector. Critics on both left and right have long pointed to the relatively privileged position of trade unions. This has consistently been invoked by governments seeking to justify the limited political role of trade unions as well as policies for wage restraint, state retrenchment, or currency devaluation that have negatively affected organized labor. However, given the increasingly widespread nature of informality and unemployment in contemporary Africa, trade unions have begun to make tentative steps toward organizing informal and unemployed workers in some cases. Finally, the relationships of African unions to the international labor movement and to international organizations have often been important. African unions have frequently drawn on links to international trade unions, regional institutions, or the International Labour Organization (ILO) as a way of compensating for domestic weaknesses. These strategies, however, have often engendered significant conflicts around the differing objectives of African and metropolitan actors, between African unions over access to international resources, and concerning "imperialism" by American and European unions.
