Plaster and broken glass
5.8 x 5.8 in (14.6 x 14.6 cm)
Unsigned; numbered on label affixed to box
This work ships from the United Kingdom.
Daniel Arsham's petrified objects serve as anthropological relics, imagined by the artist as having been buried for years and only later discovered in an archeological dig. Part of Arsham's "Future Relic" series, this work signifies an obsolete technology of the post-apocalyptic—a signal of human progress or an entropic future. It is a gypsum cement- and glass-cast sculpture of a cassette player.

Q: How to change default version of pip3 from python3.5 to python3.6 I'm very new to python but I've learned the basics and now how it mostly works. I've been trying to install a Django framework for a server so that it can host a webpage.
Basically the problem here is that when I run commands such as:
python3 -V

I get the output
Python 3.6.1

But for some reason when using pip3 it decides to use the pip that is version specific to Python 3.5, for example doing:
pip3 install Django==1.11

installs Django in "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages" instead of the Python 3.6 counterpart of the dist-packages directory.
according to python documentations (https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html?highlight=pip#work-with-multiple-versions-of-python-installed-in-parallel) I should be able to run this command:
python3.6 -m pip install SomePackage

to use the pip that is specific to Python 3.6, but this doesn't seem to work. I get an error saying "no module named pip" or "no module named pip3".
I am running on a server that uses Ubuntu 16.04
I appreciate all help, thanks in advance! :)
EDIT: I have tried running
pip3 -V

which gave me the output
pip 9.0.1 from /home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)

From this I can say that I have no problems at all using python3 with Python 3.6, but when running pip3 it uses pip 9.0.1 from Python 3.5. Also running
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

gives me the output
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 98 not upgraded.

A: I once had the similar problem. And, I sort it out with following:

*

*First install pip3 in your system
 sudo apt-get install python3-pip

*Create your virtualenv
 pip3 -p python3.6 virtualenv myenv

*Then install djangon in your virtualenv after activating it.
 pip3 install Django

You can specify the django version as:
  pip3 install Django==1.11

A: I totally forgot about this post, I just wanna say that pip is a very dangerous tool and should be used with caution since it affects the structure of your computer/server. What I did to solve whatever mess I had created at this time was to:

*

*Format the server.

*To work with and only use pip/pip3 in virtualenv. What makes virtualenvs so awesome is that if something goes wrong then it only goes wrong inside that virtualenv. You will not need to format your computer/server, instead you might have to delete that virtualenv and create a new one.

*Never use pip/pip3 on your computer/server without a virtualenv, I found out that you don't even need to install it on your root. Best way of using pip is to run a virtualenv and then install it on that virtualenv.
Hope these tips helps preventing people from making huge but easily avoidable mistakes! :D

Apparently, Citi 3 busses from the Grafton Centre don't go from the Grafton Centre, they go from Napier Street. Except that the Napier Street Bus stop isn't on Napier Street, it's 100 yards away on the other side of Newmarket Road. And the only way to find any of this out is to accost the driver of another bus and then hunt down the elusive stop.
Maybe I should point out that those 2 paragraphs *aren't* linked. It gets very odd otherwise.
Citi 3s also go from the city centre. not that that's very helpful.

Q: DataRow not collected by GC I have a problem in my application leaking some memory. this becomes a real issue when running for long hours.
I basically have the following class:
public class FeaturesDataSource{
     // Table used only for schema hosting
     DataTable selectedFeaturesDataTable;
     IDictionary<uint, MyFeatureType > _selectedFeaturesCache =
          new Dictionary<uint, MyFeatureType>();
     // Create table according to a defined schema...

     // Adds or replaces an existing feature
     public void AddFeature(int featureID, MyFeatureType featureValue) {
           DataRow row = selectedFeaturesDataTable.NewRow();
           row["ID"] = featureID;
           row["Content"] = featureValue;
           if (_selectedFeaturesCache.ContainsKey(featureID) {
               _selectedFeaturesCache.Remove(featureID);
           }
           _selectedFeaturesCache.Add(featureID, row);
     }
}

As you can see from this method, calling AddFeature creates a new data row as per the table's schema and replaces any existing data row having the same ID.
My application creates objects of type MyFeatureType at a rate of 1 object/second and calls the AddFeature with the same ID everytime:
// This data source gets updated in the following way
public void MethodCalledEverySecond(MyFeatureType featureValue){
     // This data source contains only one object of type MyFeatureValue,
     // replace the existing one by specifying a constant ID
     myFeatureDataSource.AddFeature(1, featureValue);
}

this should always replace the existing data row with the new one.
At runtime, VS shows the _selectedFeaturesCache dictionary count always equal to 1, this expected but a !dumpHeap -stat shows an increasing number of objects of type MyFeatureType in memory where it is supposed to be always  equal to 1.
Am I doing anything wrong here? Does the selectedFeaturesDataTable.NewRow() keep a reference to old data rows being replaced blocking the GC from collecting them?

A: According to the documentation for the NewRow method here:

When you use NewRow to create new rows, the rows must be added to or deleted from the data table before you call Clear

Which would seem to imply that there is a reference to the DataTable from where thew row was created.
I think you will need to call Delete and then AcceptChanges on the row to detach it from the table.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Tourism Made Clear as UNWTO Counts the Cost of Standstill
Published on : Wednesday, July 29, 2020
The latest edition of the UNWTO World Tourism Barometer shows that the near-complete lockdown imposed in response to the pandemic led to a 98 per cent fall in international tourist numbers in May when compared to 2019. The Barometer also shows a 56% year-on-year drop in tourist arrivals between January and May. This translates into a fall of 300 million tourists and US$320 billion lost in international tourism receipts – more than three times the loss during the Global Economic Crisis of 2009.
Dramatic fall in tourism places millions of livelihoods at risk
UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili said: "This latest data makes clear the importance of restarting tourism as soon as it is safe to do so. The dramatic fall in international tourism places many millions of livelihoods at risk, including in developing countries. Governments in every world region have a dual responsibility: to prioritize public health while also protecting jobs and businesses. They also need to maintain the spirit of cooperation and solidarity that has defined our response to this shared challenge and refrain from making unilateral decisions that may undermine the trust and confidence we have been working so hard to build."
Restart underway but confidence low
At the same time, UNWTO also notes signs of a gradual and cautious change in trend, most notably in the Northern Hemisphere and particularly following the opening of borders across the Schengen Zone of the European Union on 1 July.
While tourism is slowly returning in some destinations, the UNWTO Confidence Index has dropped to record lows, both for the evaluation of the period January-April 2020, and the prospects for May-August. Most members of the UNWTO Panel of Tourism Experts expect international tourism to recover by the second half of 2021, followed by those who expect a rebound in the first part of next year.
The group of global experts points to a series of downside risks such as travel restrictions and border shutdowns still in place in most destinations, major outbound markets such as the United States and China being at standstill, safety concerns associated with travel, the resurgence of the virus and risks of new lockdowns or curfews. Furthermore, concerns over a lack of reliable information and a deteriorating economic environment are indicated as factors weighing on consumer confidence.

BRIGGS & STRATTON® DELIVERS SOLUTION TO HOMEOWNERS SEEKING TO REPLACE AGING STANDBY GENERATOR SYSTEM
Retrofit module is a cost-effective alternative to installing a new transfer switch when upgrading a standby generator
MILWAUKEE, WI (November 11, 2017) – Briggs & Stratton Corporation's new retrofit module is a money-saving solution for homeowners in need of replacing broken and/or aging standby generator systems. The retrofit module connects a new Briggs & Stratton® generator to the existing installed transfer switch, enabling the two units to communicate when power is needed to the home.
Until now, a homeowner was forced to replace not only the standby generator, but the transfer switch as well, which required a technician to remove the existing wiring and replace it with a new unit. A transfer switch must be compatible with the standby generator to seamlessly and automatically move a home's power from utility power to backup power in the event of an outage. The retrofit module eliminates the need for a new transfer switch and costs less than $100.
"Customers told us they wanted to replace their existing standby generator with a new Briggs & Stratton unit," said Brian Northway, product manager for Briggs & Stratton standby power. "However, this would require that a professional replace the generator and the transfer switch, which is time intensive and can cost over a thousand dollars once you factor in the cost of the transfer switch and installation labor fees. The retrofit module is the solution to that problem."
Unmatched Warranty
The retrofit module is backed by a two-year part, labor and travel-limited warranty1. Briggs & Stratton standby generators range in size from 8kW up to 200kW2, so homeowners won't have trouble finding the right-sized generator to power their home's needs. All models come with a standard five-year or six-year parts, labor and travel limited warranty1 based on the model chosen. The warranty extends to cover the entire standby generator system, including the transfer switch. Many other warranties on the market only cover the generator unit for the life time of the warranty.
The retrofit module is compatible with most standard residential transfer switches. Dealers with interested homeowners are encouraged to contact the Briggs & Stratton support team to verify compatibility between the home's current transfer switch and the new Briggs & Stratton standby generator. For more information about the retrofit module and the complete line of home standby generators, visit www.briggsandstratton.com.
1Warranty details available at briggsandstratton.com.
2This generator is rated in accordance with UL (Underwriters Laboratories) 2200 (stationary engine generator assemblies) and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standard C22.2 No. 100-04 (motors and generators).

Via Crucis, () S.53, is a work for mixed choir, soloists and organ (also harmonium or piano) by Franz Liszt. The work is devoted to the Stations of the Cross. It is one of the last works of Liszt.

Liszt started the composition of this work in the fall of 1878 when he stayed in Rome and ended it in February 1879 in Budapest. There are three sources of the work available: the first sketches in Weimar, the manuscript of the whole work in Budapest and a copy of it in Weimar. The original version was set with accompaniment by organ. Liszt made later a version with piano.

The work is a special case in the oeuvre of Liszt, especially because it is a work of great serenity. The work is also special because it reaches the limits of tonality, breaking the status quo of predominant tonal music of the time. The work combines unison songs (Stations I and XIV) with Lutheran chorales (Stations IV and XII), and chorales inspired by Bach's chorales (Station VI), whereas other stations consist of solo organ (or piano). Liszt self wanted to perform the work in the Colosseum with accompaniment by a giant harmonium. However, he never saw the piece performed because the first performance only took place 43 years after the composer's death: it premiered in Budapest on Good Friday 29 March 1929, conducted by the composer Artúr Harmat, Professor of Church Music at the Liszt Academy.

Setting
The work follows the fourteen stations:

Government Documents and the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries are pleased to announce the release of a World Wide Web site, entitled The Treaty of Fort Laramie with Sioux, etc., 1851: Revisiting the document found in Kappler's Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties.
This treaty was an important transaction formed by the federal government with a number of prominent American Indian tribes of the Great Plains. Its creation and provisions were a demonstration of the growing need for less animosity among the tribes themselves, in part to yield increased security for an ever-growing flow of settlers into the western United States who traversed in the process the tribes' historical lands. However, over the years, a true version of the final transaction – reflecting intervention by the Senate after the original signing – has never been published. A proposed correct text is presented here.

One Appearance Only
Yerbanian Chancellor
Occupation(s):
Chancellor of Yerba
Portrayed By:
Mueen Jahan Ahmad
The Yerbanian Chancellor is the unnamed tyrannical leader of Yerba in the episode Locked Up!.
Sgrodis describes the position as being similar to the United States President, but his presiding over the case of Tori Vega means that he is also the leader of the Judicial Branch of the Yerbanian federal government. Its even implied he's actually the dictator.
He is mostly seen sitting on a chair or at his desk with his military aids surrounding him. He also has one eye patch on his right eye because it stopped working when a vampire moth bit him, just as one did to André. He arrived to see Tori, André, Cat, Jade, and Trina perform their new song All I Want Is Everything. It all went well until Tori's shoe accidentally flung off her foot and hit his other eye. Even though Tori tries to tell him that it was just an accident, he refuses to think so and convicts her upon his lead military aid intimidating the lawyer he provided for her and ruling her guilty of all charges. His lead military aid sentences Tori to four years in prison on the Chancellor's behalf. Because both eyes are covered by two eyepatches upon the doctor's son being unable to see if anything can be done for his left eye, he can no longer properly aim when he does even the simplest of activities, such as put ketchup on fries or talk to the right person. Both times, he has to be corrected by his military aids
When her friends and Erwin Sikowitz tries to beg him to let Tori go, he eventually agrees under the condition that they never return to Yerba. This was until Robbie accidentally kills his octopus (which was a gift to him from the Prince of Gustavia), which leads him to break down after being told what happened by his lead military aid.
Tori later got the prison guards to grant her an audience with the Yerbanian chancellor as part of Mr. Sikowitz's jailbreak part. While "admitting" that he "attacked him on purpose." Tori suggests that she and the prisoners put on a show for him, his family, and anyone else he can invite to "show" how sorry she and her friends are for the suffering they caused him. The Yerbanian Chancellor agrees with the terms and attends the performance. After the song, a guard discovered that Tori and her friends have escaped causing the Yerbanian Chancellor to scatter the guards to find them as one of his military aids guides him through the crowd.
The Chancellor also became very fond of Cat, according to TheSlap. He joined SplashFace so that he could friend her and he put a picture of himself and Cat on all the Yerbanian money.

Guess who woke up again after a 9-year sleep? Everybody's favorite over-sized lizard is back again to cause havoc in the 'modern world'. Is it a welcome return? Well, sure it's of course good to see him back again in movies, after a 9-year absence but it's hardly the best movie that he has ever starred in.
This movie often gets called a remake of the 1954 classic but how can it be a remake if it's constantly referring to events of the previous movies and it's following a completely different story? Guess that people at the time weren't really familiar with the term reboot yet, so they simply called it a remake instead. It's really just a sequel like all of the other Gojira sequels really, aside from the fact that it's made 9 years after the last entry and features a somewhat different and more modern style in it. In that regard it also definitely feels right to call this movie a reboot of the Gojira movie franchise, in which things are approached somewhat differently.
It definitely seems like they were going for a somewhat more serious approach again, rather than just providing some simple and silly entertainment, in which guys in rubber suits are fighting each other and aliens appear and try to destroy/takeover the world. No, this movie is actually going for a somewhat more realistic and subtle approach, which isn't always working out too well for the movie though.
First of all, it's of course hard to be completely serious with a movie that's about a giant lizard with a nuclear waste addiction. And indeed, the movie also definitely features plenty of odd- and even downright silly moments in it. It's in contrast with the approach of the movie and because of this, the silly and odd moments also mostly work out as just silly and odd moments and not always in a very good or entertaining way, as usually was the case with all of the earlier- and less serious, Gojira sequels.
What also seems weird to me is that they obviously decided to reboot- and breathe some new, fresh life into the series, yet the big guy himself is hardly given much of a makeover. He looks good from a distance and when he isn't moving too much but especially during all of the closeups, he's still as fake and silly looking as ever.
It also really felt weird to see Gojira physically injure and kill people in this movie. That's something that we never got to see before, in any of the previous movies. Sure, they talked a lot about people getting killed during one of Gojira's many rampages and I'm sure a whole bunch of soldiers were killed whenever Gojira fired his atomic breath at their takes and planes but the point is that we never saw anybody die on screen. It also felt right that way, seeing how the Gojira character in a lot of ways is a victim himself and in some of the movies he's even the good guy, who saves humanity from annihilation. In other words, he isn't just a simple movie monster, who destroys and kills for pleasure, however in this movie he's nothing but the main villain and threat though and the movie also makes sure of it that you can only look at him that way.
It's also kind of ironic how this was the most modern Gojira movie at the time, yet it's also one of the most slow and boring ones to watch. Something felt off about the pacing and it was like every scene went on for at least 15 seconds too long. Especially the start of the movie feels needlessly slow and not all that interesting, since it also isn't doing anything new and we of course all know what is going to happen anyway. It also definitely is a very simple and predictable movie, story-wise. It's weird and disappointing how this is a reboot but it's hardly doing anything new at all with its story, aside from taking a different approach.
I admit that the movie gets better and more entertaining to watch toward the end but it's not quite enough to wash away the bad taste left by the first half of the movie.
I prefer the older, more entertaining, Gojira sequels over this more modern and serious updated treatment any day!

United Russia Party official killed in Chechnya
A gang that acted in Avtury is involved with the murder of Tamara Khadzhiyeva, the leader of a United Russia party office of Chechnya's Shali district, RIA Novosti was told in the republic's prosecutor's office on Sunday.
He specified that by now, this gang has been dispersed "but some elements remained."
Early on Sunday, three unknown people in masks and camouflage uniforms broke into Khadzhiyeva's house and killed her with three shots.
"Criminal proceedings have been launched," said the source.
In his words, Khadzhiyeva's professional activity is one of the main versions explaining her murder: her active work and cooperation with federal authorities.
The prosecutor's office said Khadzhiyeva has headed the United Russia Shali office since its opening in 2002.
"For the last three months, two of her close relations - Shali internal affairs department officers - have been killed," stressed the source.

Ischnura senegalensis – gatunek ważki z rodziny łątkowatych (Coenagrionidae). Szeroko rozprzestrzeniony i pospolity. Występuje na terenie Afryki, Azji i Oceanii.

W RPA imago lata od września do końca maja, pojedyncze osobniki latają przez cały rok. Długość ciała wynosi 29–30 mm. Długość tylnego skrzydła 14,5–15,5 mm.

W 2018 roku w domowym akwarium w Siedlcach stwierdzono pierwsze zawleczenie tego gatunku do Polski; zebrano dwa imagines (samca i samicę) oraz pięć wylinek. Prawdopodobnie osobniki te dostały się do akwarium w formie jaj na roślinach akwariowych sprowadzonych z Azji poprzez Holandię. Był to trzeci (po Mecistogaster sp. i Crocothemis servilia) egzotyczny gatunek ważki, którego zawleczenie do Polski udało się stwierdzić.

Canadian Game Awards spotlight – interview with Dauntless' Jesse Houston
Why is Canada so attractive to game developers?

Canadian Game Awards spotlight – interview with MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries' Russ Bullock
svegvari
Vancouver's Piranha Games first began making games in 2000, when Russ Bullock and Bryan Ekman began working on the development of Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza. What first began as a Half-Life mod opened the door to two decades of video game development.
During the inaugural Canadian Game Awards, Piranha Games won Best Narrative for 2019's MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. Piranha Games has spent the better part of the decade entrenched in the franchise. MechWarrior Online launched in 2013. Since that time, the studio pivoted its focus into the development of MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. This would be the first time in a long while that the MechWarrior IP received a proper narrative for players to experience.
In the early days, Piranha Games developed titles in established franchises such as Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 for PSP, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and Bass Pro Shops: The Strike.
We discussed the studio's history with founder and executive producer Russ Bullock. He also weighed in on the importance to include a story in MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.
Steve: Piranha Games began as a way to create what appeared to be your passion project, Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza. Now, 20 years later, the studio has come a long way. What has this experience been like for you?
Russ: The thing we wanted more than anything was just to establish ourselves in the games industry. That was the ultimate goal. Those working on the mod project at the time never thought we would start our own company. We just thought that it would help us get jobs in the gaming industry.
Ultimately, I think we were passionate about the gaming industry. The way things worked out, we started Piranha games. At the time we didn't really understand how big of an effort we were undertaking. But we had all the energy and we were young and gung-ho.
Over the course of 20 years, it went from that to a lot of work-for-hire, to co-production opportunities, to our own self-publishing and working on more of our true passion projects, being the MechWarriors games. It's been a pretty remarkable run. Looking back on it now I can see how special it has been. It means a lot.
While you already had some experience developing a MechWarrior title, how did it feel to take the reins of a mainline title?
There is a bit of a difference between the two. At the time, when I was creating MechWarrior Online, it felt like an undertaking and a major title. But it didn't fulfill that one itch. After MechWarrior Online had been out and people had been playing it for three to four years, we announced MechWarriors 5: Mercenaries.
It was unfinished business. As much as everyone loved MechWarrior Online, one of the big messages we got from the players and community was "Where's MechWarrior 5?" We always had that as unfinished business and I felt like if we were to move on from MechWarrior, we wanted to achieve that.
We dove in and it was tough. It was a long development. It's our biggest game to date. It took four years from the time we first started to have a few folks work on it. It was two years of most of the studio's focus. It was difficult to get it out there but it hit very close to my original goals for the product. I was very happy and satisfied.
Do you feel like the vocal community that reached out were hungry for a single-player MechWarrior game again?
I think so. A lot of people grew up on the MechWarrior games. They were all singleplayer games. By the time we shipped it, it was around 17 years since MechWarrior 2, which was the last proper MechWarrior title on PC to release.
What was the process in crafting the narrative for the game?
It was challenging because it was an evolution. When we first started creating MechWarrior 5, it didn't have quite as many story elements in it yet. It was going to start out as almost a mercenary loop simulator. As we were creating the game, we were creating that as the core foundational loop of the game. It just started becoming more and more clear that we needed to push harder on the story element to fulfill that long-standing desire for another MechWarrior title.
The story elements evolved throughout the development. It's not exactly the best way to go about it, but it worked out pretty well. It's one of those development stories that are common that things don't always take the perfect path but we got it there.
Between the studio and yourself, what was the reaction to learn that Piranha Games was not only nominated, but actually won for Best Narrative?
A lot of us felt that it was a surprise. We're developers and are so deep in the forest it's difficult for us to see our own products the way the world does. When we released the game we were happy with the reception and reviews. Most of the major outlets understood what MechWarrior is. We got our 80s and 85s. We hit our mark that we were shooting for. We wanted to hit an 80% product and we feel like we got that. We got some lesser scores that dropped our average down.
If we would have picked our game to be nominated for an award, we probably would have seen other categories as much more likely over the narrative. That was fascinating and a testament to the guys that worked on it.
The Canadian games industry has grown in many ways since the studio first took form in 2000. What has that evolution process looked like from the perspective of a studio lead?
It's interesting to see from our perspective in Vancouver because it's always been a top development hub. But we've seen a shift over to places like Montreal mostly due to tax credits. We're seeing more and more top products developed in Canada. We have Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Microsoft's The Coalition, Piranha Games and Phoenix Labs. I think there's more top-tier games being developed in Canada than ever. This may because of the fact that it was primarily big publishers but now you see a lot more from more studios.
I think it's healthy and strong. It's as good as it's ever been. I don't see why it would ever weaken.
The studio appears to have a special sauce in that it has worked with a diverse lineup of IPs and publishers in the past. How does the development team stay so agile over the many years?
There's kind of two tales here. That was definitely the story of Piranha Games 10 years ago. Our strength was that we pitched. We could strike and be agile and that's who we were. But now we've been close to an entire decade of developing and publishing MechWarrior Online and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries.
[Currently] we have staff that has been with us for more than 10 years, so they remember the previous era. Of course, there's also quite a few staff that only know Piranha as being self-funded and self-publishing MechWarrior Online and MechWarrior 5.
It's almost hard for me to go back and remember that first decade because it has been so long since we have been that studio you described. Nowadays we're still agile, we've worked on two engines – CryEngine3 and UE4 – but we've been pretty focused.
Do you miss those days? Are there any hopeful projects being discussed that would see the studio breakaway from the norm?
On the one hand you're not anxious because you worked 10 years to get to a point where you can develop your own thing. In that regard, it's not like we don't want to go back. But we got there, we want to stay there. We mostly want to work on not only MechWarrior but also say an original IP of our making. That's the top goal.
Having said that, I would say that now that we've been doing our own stuff for 10 years, there have been discussions lately of the possibility of seeing what's out there and maybe working with some other big publishers. As you say, maybe get a bit of a change, get some experience with other studios. It's been so long since we've been involved with other publishers.
The top goal is to stay where we are and continue to head in that direction and perhaps create our own original IP, for example.
MechWarriors 5: Mercenaries will be receiving its Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC in Spring 2021. Thank you to Russ Bullock for speaking with us.

My only personal experience with UltraSK Cream was years ago. They're only losers also. Can I ask you a few questions to find out if this makes sense for you? All you need is a bit of patience. That was one well-thought-out example of UltraSK Cream. I support that commitment to UltraSK Cream. Nearly 78% said they were doing more with UltraSK Cream. This was bold. In point of fact, UltraSK Cream is something that not a lot of mavens give much thought to. It can be kind of slow moving at times. I'm type of detail oriented. I love incorporating UltraSK Cream into my classes.


The University released its proposal for a new sexual misconduct policy Wednesday — the latest revision since 2011 — in response to recently increased federal pressure to clamp down on sexual violence. The proposal is open for public commentary until Dec. 5.
The updated policy more explicitly defines the channels through which victims can respond to sexual assault, expands the University's definition of sexual assault and modifies the judicial and reporting procedures related to circumstances of misconduct.
In a news release published Wednesday, the University said the proposed changes come out of the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights modifications of the Clery Act, which require universities to disclose information related to sexual assault incidents on their campuses. The changes take effect July 1, 2015.
Much of the proposed modifications to the University's current policy serves as clarification of existing procedures and elucidation of potential actions students and University bodies can take in a case of sexual misconduct.
The policy also offers expanded definitions for various terms, including intimate partner violence, domestic violence and stalking.
"The Proposed New Policy adopts the definitions contained in the Clery Act, as amended by [the Violence Against Women Act]," the press release said.
The policy also establishes new means through which students are able to report acts of sexual violence.
Other significant changes in the new proposal move to modify how the University responds to sexual assault — limiting the scope of the Sexual Misconduct Board to conducting hearings. The policy also requires suspension or expulsion be considered in each case heard by the SMB.
Prevention efforts also play a larger role in the new policy, with descriptions of "training, education and prevention programs offered to University students, faculty, and staff," the release said.
Emily Renda, project coordinator for the University Student Affairs Office, said the new program will include much greater focus on student outreach and encouraging students to report instances of sexual assault.
Ultimately, Renda said hopes the policy will spark dialogue about the issue of sexual assault among students.

Police called to Kealakehe Intermediate School for dispute
By Elizabeth Pitts West Hawaii Today epitts@westhawaiitoday.com | Saturday, September 21, 2019, 12:05 a.m.
KAILUA-KONA — Kealakehe Intermediate School is currently investigating a physical dispute that happened on the school's campus Thursday after school hours.
Kealakehe Intermediate principal Joyce Crisafi said the incident happened at the end of the school day in the area of campus where students wait to be picked up from school by buses and guardians.
Crisafi said the issue began after an argument between two students which then became a larger episode due to the number of students in the area at the time.
Crisafi said no students suffered any serious injuries and the school is still investigating the number of students involved.
"Were people pushed? Yes. Were words spoken and yelled from one to the other? Yes," Crisafi said. "Typical words and language you would hear on a middle school campus. That doesn't mean it's appropriate, but it's typical language."
The Hawaii Police Department was notified of the disruptive incident at the school. The police department said no arrests were made.
Crisafi said the entire incident lasted between 20-25 minutes, and the police were called to have additional adults on campus.
A statement released by the state Department of Education said police and additional security were present on the campus Friday before and after school and during lunch hours out of caution. In addition to working with the police, school administration have consulted the Department of Education's Safety and Security Branch to ensure the campus is safe.
When school resumes Monday, Crisafi said the school will still have additional adults on campus for security as a precaution.


Welcome to BB's Stock Haven where "Timing Is Everything!"
Goal: TO PROVIDE A FORUM FOR BOTH EXPERIENCED AND NOVICE TRADERS TO SHARE THEIR OPINIONS ON STOCKS TRADED ON THE BULLETIN BOARD OR PINK SHEET MARKETS, AS WELL AS THE BIG BOARDS. FUNDAMENTALS, NEWS, RUMORS ARE WELCOME, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THIS BOARD WILL BE TO SHARE TECHNICAL ANALYSIS. TIMING IS EVERYTHING WHEN BUYING OR SELLING A STOCK, AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS CAN OFTEN DETERMINE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO TAKE.
2) There will be times when posters are not in agreement, that is healthy, but please no personal attacks.
3) No specific price preference for the board but these are mostly OTC stocks.
4) Volume is the blood in a stock's veins, so I typically prefer stocks with historical volume, otherwise there is little liquidity for selling the stock if need be.
5) Posting charts and annotations if you have a service that provides it are highly welcome since this provides support for your buy/sell/hold signal.
6) As always, do your due diligence, and remember that there is high risk in these types of stocks. Never trade with money that you cannot afford to loose.
7) If the post is Off Topic, please post with OT prefacing the post.
1) For SEC filings I use www.otcmarkets.com.
2) For daily charts I use www.stockcharts.com. There is a free service which is time delayed, and then different levels of paid service.
4) For level II, there are various services, IHUB has its own services, individual brokers as well, I use TDAmeritrade, which offers free level II if you have an account.
5) I use equityfeed.com which is critical for any otc trader. It has level II as well, real time news, scanning, and a plethora of things that are needed as a trader. There are various price points based on your needs.
6) For a great listing of stock terms or investor information, use www.investopedia.com or www.investorwords.com.
7) For more info on chart formations, see http://www.chartpatterns.com and http://thepatternsite.com.
9) Remember also to sell into strength and buy into weakness. When possible, try not to sell at the bid. When a stock is strong, you can usually at least get filled somewhere between the bid/ask, selling at the bid will often hurt the stock, since the market makers make take the bid down further afterwards.
HAPPY TRADING AND LET'S MAKE SOME $$$$$!
