Position of Power
by Jennifer Kelley
Politics. Camden. Education. These are just some of the pressing matters that concern George Norcross. Here, we offer A rare look at what makes South Jersey's most controversial power broker tick.
In one of the nation's last remaining bastions of Bossism, he reigns supreme. A prolific power broker, he unofficially heads South Jersey's Democratic juggernaut—and he did build that. A Pennsauken native and college dropout, he rocketed through the ranks of the insurance industry in his 20s and rocked the rank-and-file Camden County political scene in his early 30s. These days, he's a party superboss.
He's a kingmaker. He's the most powerful Democrat in Trenton, yet he's never been elected to office. He's been the subject of federal and state probes, yet he's never been indicted. In terms of finagling state resources, he can make it rain. In terms of revitalizing parts of Camden, he can make it happen. He's a man with a plan. He's in it to win it. He is George Norcross, and he is finally stepping out of the shadows.
It's Election Day 2012, and sitting amid a menagerie of wall-to-wall mementoes in his office at Conner Strong & Buckelew, Norcross briefly ponders a question he's been asked many times before: Will he ever throw his hat in the ring?
The simple answer is: Not on your life.
"I've never even considered running for office," he says. "In all the different aspects of my career, I've always been able to make choices. When you're in an elected position, other people make the choices and you must follow along. That just doesn't suit my personality very well—it's not really conducive to my skill set," he explains. "I like to make my own choices."
Some would say he prefers to make the decisions for other people as well—namely, South Jersey politicians. "They Have No Choice" was the title of a daring exposé that appeared in Philadelphia magazine in 2005, as well as a Norcross quote referring to his political influence at the top of the state's political food chain. The ominous line was plucked from a litany of private, incendiary remarks he made in a 2001 meeting with then-Palmyra Councilman John Gural, who secretly recorded the chat as evidence he was being bribed to fire a borough solicitor who had run afoul of the party. No charges came of the tapes, but when transcripts pertaining to Norcross were released during a subsequent election year, his political enemies had a veritable field day.
Still, when several local Republicans, including one Congressman, were tapped to comment for this story, they all declined. So did Gov. Chris Christie. Despite the fruitful relationship they've enjoyed over the years, now that Christie is hunkering down for a run at a second term, he too is keeping his distance. But it was just last year at a town hall meeting when Christie blurred party lines and showered Norcross with bipartisan praise.
"He has influence," Christie told the gathered crowd with regard to his relationship with Norcross. "What that means is if he calls, I return his call. If he has an idea, I listen. He's an important person in the business and philanthropic community."
At least one local member of the GOP is also willing to acknowledge Norcross' significance, albeit begrudgingly. "I think he's been a genius at the game," said the source speaking anonymously (again not wanting to attach their name in any way to King George). "He's a marvel of a politician. Nobody from inside his party has tried to take him out and that takes great discipline … the longevity of his reign is really remarkable. I have to tip my hat."
The so-called "Palmyra Tapes" notwithstanding, there is actually scant evidence of Norcross' purported intimidation techniques or the Tony Soprano-esque image put forth by his opponents. That's probably because as a private citizen, he's free to mastermind power plays, craft election-year attack strategies, and pull the levers of his political machine all behind closed doors. Since resigning as chairman of the Camden County Democratic Committee in 1995 (and passing the reins to his brother, Donald), he has harnessed the role of regional power broker to become a pivotal player at the state level. While some see Norcross's direct involvement in government as scandalous, his position of power "is just part of politics," according to Ingrid Reed, a New Jersey policy analyst. "Power brokers are the people who make things happen," she adds. "It depends on the person doing the evaluating whether that's good or bad."
Reed cites several reasons Norcross is the most influential party boss in the state.
"He's exceptional at marshaling resources, he excels at fundraising, and he's decisive. It also helps that he's got the power of personality—he knows how to make friends," she says. "And he's not too ideological—he's built up connections outside of the Democratic circle, and that gives him sway on both sides of the aisle, as well as with (Gov.) Christie. More importantly, he has ideas and he knows how to convey their importance. It takes all of these characteristics to get things done in politics, and he's proven he can do that." Of course, someone in his position doesn't hold onto power forever, she adds. "It depends on who's able to challenge him—and if you want to challenge George Norcross, you have to be better than him. I haven't seen that yet."
Not bad for a college dropout. His "brief career" at Rutgers University in the late '70s ended "when it became apparent I was not fit for academic life," he admits. Far more interested in the practical application of business than book studies, his father—a prominent South Jersey labor leader who passed away in 1998—helped him start a small insurance company in Camden and even introduced him to the city's mayor. It was the latter connection that netted Norcross the sole government position he's ever held: chairman of the Camden Parking Authority. At 32, after a decade of success in the insurance industry, he was tapped to be chair the Camden County Democratic Committee. By 1991, he had staged his first legislative coup—ousting Republican stalwart Lee Laskin from his Senate seat and taking over the GOP-stacked Camden County Board of Freeholders. His notable victories that election year not only upended the region's Republican stronghold but, strategically speaking, they were an operational game changer. From then on, South Jersey political campaigners have had to play at his level—and as anyone who's run against his team will tell you, it is not easy to beat Norcross at his own game.
"George is very competitive—in all aspects of his life. I mean, you should see him on the tennis court," notes Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-Gloucester), a longtime friend and one of Team Norcross' heaviest hitters. "He absolutely hates to lose. Fortunately," he chuckles, "I haven't seen that happen too many times."
His relentless drive, forceful nature, and an unshakable commitment to anything he undertakes are direct reflections of his father, George Norcross Jr., says former Gov. James Florio, who was close with the elder Norcross. "He was an enlightened leader in both labor and politics, always very passionate about progressive policies and improving communities. If he set a goal for himself, it was crucial he achieved it, and he would push himself until he did," Florio recalls. "George is a carbon copy."
His father made sure of that. A formative level of exposure to civic involvement began for Norcross when, at just 10 years old, his father began bringing him to labor meetings and political pow-wows. "He wanted me to observe and learn, to watch how things happened and listen to what people had to say. I was exceedingly curious about everything my father did, and I became very intrigued by it all at a very young age—it truly motivated me to get involved," he says. Of particular impact was his father's activity in Camden, the once-great city in which he grew up, received his education, and still serves on Cooper's board of trustees after more than two decades. "I was particularly drawn to (the hospital)," he adds, "so I've always shared my father's dream of having a medical school in the city."
This past summer, that dream finally came to fruition. In July, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University opened its doors to the applause of top government officials in both parties. The $139 million, six-story facility is New Jersey's first new medical school in more than 35 years, and Christie, who attended the opening celebration, called the project "long overdue." Norcross agrees. He has spent much of his 23 years on Cooper's board of trustees—half of them alongside his father—lobbying for the school. But it's only part of his grand vision for Camden, he says. In 2008, Cooper added a $220 million Patient Pavilion to its Health Sciences Campus. Up next? The $100 million state-of-the-art Cooper Cancer Institute, which broke ground last April and is expected to welcome patients this fall.
"My father instilled in me what an important pillar Cooper is for Camden. ... By quadrupling its size and making the city a destination for medical research, lots of jobs are created, the city gets cleaned up, everyone benefits. In a few years," he adds, "you're going to see dramatic changes—a big increase in the police force and public safety, Rutgers' expansion, Rowan will have a greater presence. Positive things are happening." It all plays into the desire to continue his father's legacy, but another component is Norcross building his own. "Much of what I've done in my career has revolved around South Jersey getting its fair share. We've been deprived of resources down here for decades," he says. "Not anymore."
Assemblyman Gilbert "Whip" Wilson, a lifelong Camden resident and former councilman, calls Norcross a visionary. "When I look around parts of the city and I see new housing, streetscaping, construction sites putting people to work, I say, 'Now that's a man getting things done.'" He gets a bad rap, Wilson adds. "People think there's always some sort of angle for him, that everything's a conspiracy. Anytime the 'N' word (Norcross) is brought up, it's an automatic red flag. But I'd like to ask these people what they've done for Camden. It's like that old Dragnet line: Check the facts. I can only speak from my experience, but he's always been straight with me—he's never lied about anything he said he was going to do."
Wilson wasn't always a fan. Campaigning for city council in '97 and 2005, the decorated Air Force veteran and former police lieutenant found himself battling the party boss' chosen candidates. Then, in 2009, Wilson got the shock of his life when he took a phone call from Norcross asking him to run on Dana Redd's mayoral ticket. "After all those years being on opposite sides of the same party, he asked me to be on his team," Wilson says. "I was very surprised by this." Even more so when he was again approached by Norcross a few months later—this time offering him the vacated Assembly seat of his brother, Donald, who took over Redd's state Senate seat when she became mayor in 2010. "I never thought in my wildest dreams I'd be an assemblyman," he proudly notes, "but here I am, and it's all because of Mr. Norcross. I'm very grateful to him for that."
Also grateful to Norcross is Susan Weiner, executive director of the Larc School in Bellmawr. The nonprofit is "close to his heart," she says. "He works tirelessly to make sure we get the maximum from donors and sponsors." In addition, the special-education facility significantly benefits from holding the annual Cooper Norcross "Run the Bridge" 10K fundraiser. "There isn't a time when I can't pick up the phone and reach George personally. People don't know what a big heart he has—I could give you a million examples," Weiner adds. "He's very involved here." So are his children. Lexie, 25, sits on the school's board of trustees, and his 14-year-old son, Alex, does volunteer work.
"George's motives are always questioned," contends Bill Tambussi, his attorney as well as a family friend. "It's a shame, really. I've known this man for a long time, and I truly believe he's driven by a need to do the right thing—he mainly just wants to help the people of South Jersey, and he does it his way," Tambussi says. "The culture of politics is a weird thing. You hear 'boss' or 'kingpin' when the right word is 'leader.' You need people out there who are forceful, who are direct, who are forward-thinking, who can work with different groups and achieve a coalition for a common goal. He is one of the few who are able to do that."
Yes, but what's in it for him? Sweeney hears that question all the time. "Look, he's made more money than he ever thought possible as a kid growing up in Pennsauken. He owns a helicopter, a newspaper, an insurance company. ... He's got everything he ever dreamed of—now he's sharing his success. The hell you can't do some things in life just out of the kindness in your heart," Sweeney says. "The work he's doing, particularly in Camden, is extremely gratifying to him."
Over the last few years, Norcross has made a conscious effort to raise his public profile and make his passion for Camden known, speaking out on the need to curb the city's crime rate, open charter schools (such as his proposed KIPP Cooper Norcross Academy), and continue redevelopment initiatives. A year ago, he pledged $5 million of his own toward Cooper's rapid expansion.
"He's a fighter," Sweeney adds. "And when he sets his sights on something, failure is not an option. That's what makes him unstoppable."
Norcross does have one area of weakness, though: his left knee. His love for competitive athletics over the years has resulted in repeated trauma to his ACL, multiple surgeries, steel pins, and some serious pain. "What can I say? I was very foolish to play sports the way I did when I was young," he admits. "I try to convey that to my son—just can't get him to listen to me."
But, in the end, not even a crippling chronic injury can stop George Norcross for long. "I don't really let it slow me down," he says. "It just takes some good tape, maybe a safety guard, and—game on."

Mnangagwa blasphemous, stubborn and vindictive – MDC
by zimsentinel
President of Zimbabwe Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa
OPPOSITION political parties have come out guns blazing, accusing President Emmerson Mnangagwa of being blasphemous, stubborn and vindictive after he likened himself to God while equating his rival, MDC leader Nelson Chamisa to Satan.
"How can he dare compare himself to the Creator when he is subjecting everyone in Zimbabwe to a living hell? Surely, God does not deliver suffering to his own people," MDC spokesperson Jacob Mafume said.
"The illusion around dialogue which excludes the MDC has already proven to be a political fallacy, many are pulling out because they are aware that the approach will not create sufficient consensus."
Mafume said the statements by Mnangagwa could easily cause internal strife, and trigger violence against opposition supporters and the party leadership.
"We have noted with concern a continued pattern of these reckless statements coming from him in succession, a case in point is the remarks he made in Rutenga when he made threats to unleash violence on citizens for exercising their rights provided in section 59 of the Constitution," he said.
"It is, therefore, premature for Mnangagwa to use extremist metaphors like 'devil' simply because the MDC holds different political views from him. In any case, history has shown that these labels can easily incite degeneration and unnecessary loss of life, especially coming from the leader of a militant political outfit."
Chamisa through his spokesperson Nkululeko Sibanda, said he would not engage Mnangagwa in a verbal exchange because he was more concerned with defending the poor and delivering real change to Zimbabweans.
"President Chamisa is a prayerful and God-fearing leader whose interests are to rebuild this country's economy and society. He does not equate earthly fiefdoms with the Kingdom of God. He is encouraged that Zimbabwe is largely a God-fearing country and will remain so," he said.
"Those who see themselves as analogous or similar to God, will answer to God. The people's president does not engage in unnecessary public insults, he remains focused in talking about the issues that affect our country, such as dialogue and all other action that can unlock political illegitimacy and drive us towards economic stabilisation and growth."
Daniel Shumba, whose party, the United Democratic Alliance, pulled out of talks brokered by Mnangagwa, said the Zanu PF leader had shown his arrogance and vindictiveness in making such a statement.
"That's clearly an arrogant and vindictive view from a President who claims to want to forester unity, but don't take him seriously for equating himself to God, that is just a limitation of descriptive English. That is the best he could do under the circumstances," he said.
Mnangagwa told journalists on Tuesday at the close of the Zimbabwe-South Africa Bi-National Commission summit attended by his South African counterpart, Cyril Ramaphosa, that he will push on with dialogue despite the withdrawal from the process by a number of political parties.
"We will not be swayed by the negative forces because even the Lord upstairs was not able to keep his house in order, he had Satan. These things happen. He still remains there as creator," Mnangagwa said.

Q: how to group identical latitude and longitudes to display multiple locations in tableau So I have a list of LATs and LONGs with venues in a csv file. Let's say they look like this:
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+
| latitude | longitude | venue         | address     |  |
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+
| 23.123   | 44.32123  | music concert | 123 fake st |  |
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+
| 23.123   | 44.32123  | football      | 123 fake st |  |
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+
| 33.2342  | 41.2343   | theatre       | 22 red st   |  |
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+
| 33.2342  | 41.2343   | comedy        | 22 red st   |  |
+----------+-----------+---------------+-------------+--+

The goal is to have 2 single points in tableau, but when the user clicks on a point you can see the details or hover text showing 2 distinct venues for each point. Any ideas?

A: Then you want to treat latitude and longitude as continuous dimension for this worksheet instead of as a measure

. (Radio.com) Billboard is reporting that Beyonce's camp have told them that she is not involved with a rumored biographical movie about the life of Saartjie Baartman.
"Beyonce is in no way tied to this project," the music star's representative told Billboard in a statement. "This is an important story that should be told, however."
Over the weekend, The Sun reported rumors that Bey would write and star in a biopic about Saartjie 'Sarah" Baartman, a South African woman who was enslaved and taken to Europe to appear in freak shows.
The report raised the ire of many, including a South African political leader who claimed Beyonce had no right to tell Baartman's story. Read the comments here.


The annual 3 sister's weekend where pie making,knitting, coffee drinking and generally allot of home cooked food is made and eaten. A big change this year was the fact that Caitlin was not here to do the lion share of the cooking. That girl can cook and bake. Caitlin we did our best without you.
Other than baking and cooking we visited the yarn store, Ellen and Mary had their hair cut, Mary a massage, Eileen went to an estate sale and bought some table clothes then off to the sustainable indoor market, long walks, good conversation over good wine and beer. The big thing we did not do this year was no eating out in restaurants. The Bean Cycle was visited twice for coffee and a pecan bars which as always was delich.
Of course the first spring snow storm decided to rear itself, it was beautiful but made for a slow laid back weekend. What is it about cold and snow that one wants to only find a quilt and lay on the couch watching a movie: the movies we watched ....Italian Job, To Kill A Mockingbird, The Patriot, and 3-10 To Yuma.
It has been awhile since I've blogged. Have been working full time, yes that is five days a week and yes it was a killer. However I am very grateful I have a job, a job a like and can do safely and well.
This past week I finished a class on machine quilting and loved it, Charlotte opened a whole new world for me. Hope to have a quilt on the machine early next week. I still have a lot of nieces and nephews to get a quilt to before I get to old and can no loner sew. Plus yes I have allot of fabric to use up. What a job, but some one needs to do it.
We have had a major spring snow storm yesterday. Not as much snow as past storms but it was a needed storm. I managed to get 4 rows of lettuce planted before the snow blew in, can't wait ti see the little plants popping up through the ground.

Canada asks court to throw out expert affidavit in Huawei CFO's U.S. extradition case
Moira Warburton
Published: Dec 03, 2020 at 1:19 a.m.
By Moira Warburton
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian prosecutors will ask a court to disregard a former U.S. government lawyer's affidavit submitted by Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou's legal team in her U.S. extradition case, arguing it is "irrelevant" and "unnecessary," documents released on Wednesday showed.
The affidavit was submitted in July in which Michael Gottlieb, who was a White House lawyer under President Barack Obama, testified that U.S. President Donald Trump had departed from longstanding legal policies designed to promote the "impartial administration of justice," with his comments that he was willing to use Meng as a bargaining chip in trade talks with China.
Meng's lawyers have argued that the extradition should be thrown out in part because the case against her in the United States is tainted by political interference, pointing to comments from Trump about her extradition.
She was arrested in December 2018 on a warrant from the United States. She is facing charges of bank fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC about Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's business dealings in Iran, causing the bank to break U.S. sanctions.
Meng, 48, has said she is innocent and is fighting the extradition while under house arrest in Vancouver.
In a submission dated Nov. 3, prosecutors asserted that Gottlieb's evidence should be struck from the record arguing that it is "inadmissible expert opinion evidence" that is "irrelevant" and "unnecessary" to Meng's case.
"The key factual matters arising from (Meng's) allegations are whether certain statements by foreign officials have ... prejudiced the integrity of the Canadian justice system," prosecutors wrote.
Gottlieb's testimony would ask the court to "determine not only whether foreign officials have complied with foreign legal principles" but also "review their conduct in light of internal governmental policies and norms.
"This Court lacks the expertise to engage in such an inquiry," prosecutors wrote.
The prosecutors are set make the request in the British Columbia Supreme Court on Monday, when witness testimony in the case resumes.
Gottlieb is a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP in Washington.
Huawei officials were not available for an immediate comment.
Prosecutors have accused Meng's lawyers of trying to litigate the case against her in the United States in the Canadian court, which Meng's lawyers have denied.
The extradition case is scheduled to wrap up in April 2021, although the potential for appeals on either side means the case could drag on for years.

La Font Vella és una font de Moià (Moianès) inclosa a l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
L'antiga Font Vella es troba emplaçada en un mur format per grans carreus de pedra picada. Adossat al mur hi ha esculpit en pedra l'escut de Moià. Avui la font és regulada per una aixeta. Conserva part dels abeuradors antics.

Història
Aquesta font fou construïda l'any 1634 al capdamunt del carrer de la Cendra (avui carrer Francesc Viñas). Per una inscripció a la mateixa font sabem que va ésser reedificada l'any 1709 fent-se'n càrrec de les despeses econòmiques la vila. L'aigua que sobrava per l'abastiment del poble la feien servir els paraires per tenyir, però aviat va ésser insuficient; el 1868 - 70 es feia venir l'aigua del cantó de Passarell i al 1931 es portava aigua de la Crespiera.

Vanderpump Rules' Stassi Schroeder Opens Up About Psoriasis Battle in Makeup-Free Video
By Emily Marcus
Stassi Schroeder hosts an event at Body English Nightclub in Las Vegas. MediaPunch / BACKGRID
Behind all the glitz and the glamour, Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Shroeder battles the skin condition psoriasis.
Stars Who Have Bared Their Souls About Their Struggles
The Bravo personality, 29, opened up about her struggle in a recent Instagram Story, showing fans the flare-ups on her face in a makeup-free clip. "This psoriasis situation is not on fleek," she said in the video. "If anybody else suffers from this and gets it on their face, I'm with you."
Schroeder captioned the post, "If you suffer from Psoriasis, you ain't alone. S—t sucks."
Stassi Schroeder/Snapchat
The Straight Up With Stassi podcast host first opened up about her autoimmune skin disease while appearing on an April 2017 episode of The Doctors. "I've been to so many different doctors and I feel like I'm told different things all the time and there isn't one answer," she told a dermatologist on the show, later explaining what treatments she uses to control the outbreaks. "Lately the steroid creams because I had it all on my back. Having it on my face was the worst. That is super not fun. And I've noticed that it gets bad when I'm stressed."
Celebs With Bad Skin
Schroeder also expressed her concerns that alcohol posed a detriment to her condition. "Every time I have red wine at night, I wake up the next morning and I feel like a flare-up is going to come," she said, noting that she would be "very interested" in using injectable remedies to cut down the inflammation and control the redness.
The event planner also opened up about not feeling comfortable filming reality show because of her psoriasis. "Last year was the worst. I just felt like it was a really hard summer. It was like a rock bottom moment for me and it came out on my face," she disclosed. "I was like, 'How am I going to film this?' Because you feel really ugly. You wake up and you feel very unattractive."
'Vanderpump Rules' Turns 100: The Craziest Moments Ever
Schroeder has been vocal about her body and health in the past. In January, the reality star revealed via Instagram in a vulnerable photo that she underwent a breast reduction surgery. "One of the best decisions I've ever made," she said of the post. "Shout out to @drijimmyfirouz."
Vanderpump Rules airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.

Dwyane's Story
News Dwyane's Story: Finding His Place
Dwyane Nash was never afraid of hard work.
At one point, the Boston native juggled four different part-time jobs. That work ethic came from his father, a Korean War Veteran who invited a U.S. Army recruiter to their home so that Dwyane could enlist. "I was off to boot camp at Fort Dix, New Jersey," Dwyane recalled.
He looks back on his Army service with pride and gratitude, because it led to a series of jobs at computer manufacturing firms. When those manufacturing jobs disappeared, Dwyane worked as a shipping clerk, security guard, driver, and painter.
Despite cycling through multiple jobs, Dwyane knew he wasn't getting anywhere. He was frustrated. "I was 53, and I still hadn't decided what I wanted to do," he says.
It bothered Dwyane that he hadn't settled down and that he moved in and out of Boston, sometimes staying with family members. Then a friend encouraged him to see what the New England Center and Home for Veterans offered.
Dwyane took that advice, and his life changed.
After meeting with a case manager, he moved to the Center's transitional housing unit. "I set a goal that I would only stay for six months," he says. NECHV's ambitious $35 million renovation was underway. "When the building was completed, I'm proud to say I was one of the first people who got to sleep in that brand-new environment."
Living on-site, Dwyane took advantage of valuable guidance from an employment specialist. "All these years, I tried to figure out what I wanted to do. With her help, I decided to get my commercial driver's license. It's perfect for me."
Dwyane was open to moving out of the area, so when an NECHV housing specialist said he qualified for his own apartment in New Bedford, he jumped at the chance. Now he lives in a building with other Veterans and works at a nearby human service organization where he oversees the food bank. "They love me as an employee," he notes. "When I have my commercial driver's license, I'll be able to drive for them."
"I've got my own life now. I'm happy."
Settled down, in a job he loves and living in a comfortable home that he can afford and where he has privacy: with help from the NECHV, Dwyane found his place. Every day, 24 hours a day, our Center in downtown Boston welcomes Veterans who, like Dwyane, need our services to regain control of their lives.
You can hear it in Dwyane's voice: "I've got my own life now. I'm happy."
This is what we want for each person who seeks help at the New England Center and Home for Veterans. Your support will help us get there.

Andrew Pengilly
Creative consultant
Turner's House
Obscured
Andrew's interest in photography has until recently been part of his graphic design practice. He studied BA Graphic Design at the University of Brighton where he won a national photography award. The judging process required submitting a portfolio of work; fortunately the chair of the awards committee was Alan Fletcher, founder of Pentagram, a leading international design agency. Andrews's portfolio of design projects resulted in him also being offered his first job as a graphic designer.
He went on to become creative director at a number of London agencies before moving to Paris as creative director of Carre Noir, with responsibility for the agency's design for print division. He has won numerous design awards and judged at D&AD. In 2000 he started his own agency, A2 Design.
He has recently rekindled his interest in photography by doing an MA Photography at the University of Brighton, returning to pick up photography he left off 30 years ago. His interest has developed around observations of place, light, vision and imagination while observing the effects of the break up of the digital file. His work and projects have a close tie to 19th century painters, Turner, Whistler, and Goethe's observations on the effect of light. His work also references the camera obscura and Daguerreotypes.
His interest in graphic design has been fundamental to presenting his work in book form, believing in some instances the book form can strengthen the presentation of a photographic project.
While producing his own book projects he noticed the absence of a quality service for artists wanting to produce books in limited editions. To fill this gap he applied his extensive experience and knowledge of design, print and binding to offer a quality bespoke self-publishing service under the name of Format Editions.

USE OF COAL IN INDIA
HISTORY OF COAL MINING IN INDIA-
LARGEST COAL PRODUCERS IN 2016
IMPORTS OF COAL IN ASIA
Estimated reserves of coal in India is 300 billion tonnes, west Bengal Orissa Jharkhand Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh are the major coal-producing states of the country.
Public sector company Coal India has about 80% stake in coal production,
The biggest impact of opening doors for the private sector will be on Coal India business and its monopoly.
Mining opportunities for domestic and foreign mining companies can also increase the earnings of the government, but private companies buying coal at a higher rate when they add their profits, then coal can be expensive in the market.It may have an impact on energy production and industrial production costs.

However, due to increased production, availability of coal, the prices of coal can remain stable. Due to the acquisition of mining rights to the private sector, the quality of coal can be increased and reduction in imports.
Local industrial units will also get the benefit of making coal availability, but the government will have to ensure that this business is not concentrated in some private hands, Do not negate the new rules inclined in favour of big businessmen;
Otherwise, coal mining and the new policy will not be profitable for the common people.
According to the 2017 Statistics Report, more than 61 percent of the electricity is based on coal, about 7 percent of steel and national production is coal-based, while about 2 percent of the products like cement, paper, textile and sponge iron is coal-based. Clearly, coal is the biggest fuel source of electricity generation.
COAL-BASED ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION IN INDIA-
Production of coal-based electricity has increased rapidly in the country after six decades of independence, against 756 MW of 1947, it had reached 153571 MW in 2014, but it is still not enough in terms of the country's fast-growing population and resistance to hydro and nuclear power plants is not hidden from anyone in India.
On the other hand, official figures suggest that there is a long way to go in the full fil government dream to provide electricity to the whole India, according to government estimates, 40000000 households are deprived of electricity, in which more than 50 percent of households are from states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Raniganj Coalfield of West Bengal is not a common mining centre, this entire region is the birthplace of coal production in the country, coal mine has started for the first time in the country at around 244 years ago. For the first time in 1774 coal was excavated in Raniganj Coalfield which is situated on the west bank of Damodar river.
COAL PRODUCTION HISTORY IN INDIA
Coal production started, but for nearly a century, the development of Indian coal mining led to a recession due to lack of demand, but in 1853, the steam-laden train gave a boost in coal production.
COAL MINING COMPIES NAME IN HISTORY
MASERS ALEXZANDER COAL MINING COMPANY
MASERS CAR COAL MINING COMPANY
TAGOR COMPANY COAL MINING COMPANY
Before independence, in 1900 annual production of coal in the country was 6.12 metric tons per year, By 1920, 18 metric tons were made annually, there was a sudden increase in production of coal at the time of World War I but at the beginning of the decade, it came down again.
In 1942, annual production reached 29 metric tons and 1946 to 30 metric tonnes. When the country became free, the five-year development plan started as the roadmap of development, the annual production of coal increased to 33 metric tonnes.
NATIONALISATION OF COAL COMPANY IN INDIA
The process of nationalization was carried out in two phases in 1971-72 in the first phase of coking coal mines and in 1973 non-coking coal mines were nationalized.
THE AMOUNT OF COAL IN THE WORLD-
Coal is the most important source of energy in the whole world, 40% of the world's electricity is produced through coal. Coal is a major source of primary energy due to its low cost and availability in large quantities throughout the world, the reserves of coal in the world is about 896 billion tons.
Only Top 10 countries are producing around 90% of total coal in the world. China has been the biggest producer of coal for the last three decades.
China – 3242.5 metric tonnes
India – 707.6 metric tonnes
America – 671.8 metric tonnes
Australia – 503.3 metric tonnes
Indonesia – 460.5 metric tonnes
According to the International Energy Agency, China produced about 3224.5 metric tons of coal in 2016, while India produced a total of 707.6 metric tonnes of coal in any year, the US produced 671.8 tonnes of coal in 2016 and Australia 503.3 metric tonnes and Indonesia produced 460.5 metric tonne coal.
If we talk only about the Asia region, it has also increased the import of coal. In 2016, the countries of Asia imported 973 MT of coal which was 72.95 of the total coal business in the world.
LARGEST EXPORTER COUNTRIES OF COAL
Australia and Indonesia were also the largest exporters of coal in 2016, besides South Africa, Colombia and Mongolia contributed significantly to the export of coal in 2016.
According to the International Energy Agency, there has been an increase in the export of all types of coal in the world.
Coal production decreased by 458 metric tons in 2016, that is the highest since 1971.
Despite all this, in 2016, the coal business of the world increased 22.8% in 2016 compared to 2015.

Andrew M. Wilson quoted in New York Times article "Undoing Trump's Anti-Immigrant Policies Will Mean Looking at the Fine Print"
February 10, 2021 | In The news
Lippes Mathias Partner, Andrew M. Wilson, is quoted in a New York Times article that discusses the challenges President Biden's administration faces in unraveling Former President Trump's immigration changes.
"On Oct. 2, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a new policy alert titled 'Inadmissibility Based on Membership in a Totalitarian Party.' Some immigration lawyers said the new policy appeared intended to discourage Chinese nationals from applying for permanent status by making it easier for them to be denied because of their membership in the Chinese Communist Party.
'Most Chinese nationals feel the need to enroll as a member of the Communist Party in order to have access to job opportunities and other resources in the country. Some feel it is an absolute must,' said Andrew Wilson, a lawyer in Buffalo. 'This is yet another subtle attempt to discourage individuals from pursuing permanent residency, and an attempt to change the law without ever changing the law.' "

Cytotoxic drugs are used during cancer chemotherapy to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. However, manychemotherapeutic drugs, such as doxorubicine (Dox), have limited cellular uptake and a strong tendency to bind to offtargetmacromolecules. Together these characteristics lead to low therapeutic indices. Increasing the intracellular uptake ofcancer drugs could prevent these complications.Another pitfall of chemotherapy is drug resistance. One strategy for avoiding drug resistance is drug combination. Thisapproach can prevent side effects by allowing for reduced dosages and can improve efficacy if the chosen drugs act synergistically.For example, bisphosphonates act synergistically with many other anti-cancer agents. Alendronate (Ald), one of the most potentbisphosphonates, has been shown to increase cancer cell death in vitro when combined with Dox in breast cancer cells.We present here the synthesis of a silver nanoparticle-based drug delivery system that improves the anticancer therapeuticindices of doxorubicin (Dox) using alendronate (Ald) as an adjuvent. Water, under microwave irradiation, was used as thesole reducing agent for the size-controlled, bisphosphonate-mediated preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The AgNPswere coated with and stabilized by the bisphosphonate alendronate (Ald). The bisphosphonate group of Aldtemplated theformation of the AgNPs, and was the site of the drug's attachment to the nanoparticles. The free primary ammonium group ofAld was subsequently functionalized with either Rhodamine B (RhB) by amide linker formation or Dox through imine bondformation. The RhB-conjugated nanoparticles (RhB-Ald@AgNPs) were studied in HeLa cell cultures. Confocal fluorescencemicroscopy studies determined the main mechanisms of cellular uptake of the nanoparticles. The imine linker of the Doxmodifiednanoparticles had significantly greater anti-cancer activity in vitro than either Ald or Dox alone.Thus, the ability of Ald to promote the assembly of Ald@AgNPs in a one step reaction, and the straightforward postmodificationof Ald@AgNPs, offer an easy and environmentally friendly strategy for the formation of stable nanoparticles thatcouple the antiproliferative properties of the AgNPs, themselves, to those of the drug mixtures they carry. This system featuresa high degree of functionality and potency and is of potential therapeutic benefit.

Q: Second Fundamental Theorem for $SO(m,n)$ I want to ask you if you know any reference where the second fundamental theorem for $SO(n)$ is stated and proved. I have been looking for it but my quest has been useless. By classical invariant theory, we know that the ring of invariants for $SO(m,n)$ is generated by the scalar products and the determinants, but I want to know what are the relations between them. Is this an open problem? I couldn't find any hints on the internet.
Thank you.

Q: Netbeans using cache instead of opening project I'm using Netbeans version 15 and JDK 11.
When I want to open a class referenced in a project that belong to another project, by Ctrl + click on that class Name, Netbeans open a read only version of this class, that appears to be located in Netbeans cache in:
C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\15\packageName\myProject.jar
The project of the class I want to open is in my project list and in my .m2 repository, and I built it (clean and build).
Why can't Netbeans open the class from my sources? Is there a configuration setting that I have missed?
This worked perfectly with my previous version of Netbeans (12) on a laptop.
What I have already tried: Clean and build the project of the class that I want to open.
