Anna Schwartz to reopen with 'flexible and experimental' video installations
EntertainmentArtsFilm & TVNews
The Anna Schwartz Gallery is reopening in February this year with a large-scale video art exhibition featuring a series of highly-acclaimed artists.
Featuring Alberta Whittle, Cyprien Gaillard, Sarah Morris, Haris Epaminonda, Yael Bartana, James Nguyen & Victoria Pham and Hiwa K, each artist will showcase individual videos, which the gallery will turn into an evolving exhibition over time.
The exhibition has a particularly massive scope: the video installations take in the length and breadth of modern life. Their collaborative and transitory nature is a comment on the increased importance of video-communication as our principal method of sharing ideas.
Peripheral Vision is an upcoming video art exhibition at Anna Schwartz Gallery
It's running from 2 February – 7 May 2022
It's being held at Gallery 01, Anna Schwartz Gallery
Keep up to date with Melbourne's latest art events, exhibitions and performances here.
The exhibition will feature the works of leading international video artists transforming the gallery space including:
Barbadian-Scottish artist and upcoming representative for Scotland at the Venice Biennale, Alberta Whittle with her work Holding the Line, looking at colonial histories, police brutality and imagined futures offering time and space for healing and reset.
French artist Cyprien Gaillard's Ocean II Ocean that connects disparate, evocative references into a concerto of images, sound, and movement. The film is divided into two main sections that follow upon each other in an infinite loop as well as a soundtrack produced by Gaillard.
American and British artist Sarah Morris' Beijing, observing the overwhelmingly perplexing and contradictory economy and politics of China. The film explores the spectacle that unfolded during the opening of the 2008 Olympics. Shot from multiple perspectives and given unprecedented access by the International Olympic Committee, Beijing captures the variances within the city, from the urban routine of its citizens to the choreographed actions of various heads of state.
Cypriot artist Haris Epaminonda with her works Chimera and Japan Diaries. In Chimera, Espaminonda combines found-footage shots with a soundscape by Kelly Jayne Jones and creates meditative images. Japan Diaries is a digitized version of a work on Super 8 film shot by the artist during her two-month residency in Japan in the summer of 2019, capturing momentary encounters with the many signs, codes and other symbolic gestures in Japan that caught the artist's attention.
Israeli artist Yael Bartana's Tashlikh which serves as a platform for both perpetrators and survivors of various genocides or ethnic persecutions – the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, as well as Sudanese and Eritrean ethnic cleansing or civil wars – to confront their personal material links to the horrors of the past. Inspired by the Jewish custom of "Tashlikh" where casting bread or other objects into a river symbolises a relinquishing of sins, Bartana's work generates a new ritual that consists of the deliberate discarding of objects as a means of psychological liberation.
Vietnamese-Australian artists James Nguyen & Victoria Pham's, will present a new video, a Drumstick is a Hammer, that continues the ongoing project titled Re:Sounding. Re:Sounding explores one cultural object's changing meanings over time and across cultures. The sound of the Đông Sơn drum is pivotal to the Vietnamese sense of identity, resonating across two millennia of religion, war, exile and return. This multi-faceted project explores the Đông Sơn drum from all angles: as a spiritual object, cultural icon, token of trade and instrument of warfare. a Drumstick is a Hammer is a three part video and sound collage on the violence of infinite distance.
Hiwa K's Pre-Image which documents a performance in Porto, Gdansk and Vienna, among others, and between Greece and Rome along the way. Interpreted as a reconstruction of his migratory past, of which he has no photographs, the performance could also be called a 'post-image'. Wearing a bar on which motorbike mirrors are mounted on his forehead, the distorted vision allows him to re-experience the lack of stability in the midst of his constant state of movement during his migration.
"After the past two years of uncertainty and closures, we're embracing a flexible and experimental approach in 2022," Tania Doropoulos, Director of Anna Schwartz Gallery, said.
"We open with Peripheral Vision, a group exhibition that takes the form of a series of singular presentations over the course of a few months. Importantly, the exhibition places emphasis on an embodied relationship to viewing video that has been largely lost in recent months."

Genetic Testing Company Acquired by Company With Ties to FBI and Law Enforcement
Genealogy searches by law enforcement invade our privacy in unique and potentially dangerous ways.
Andrew Brookes / Getty Images
Jennifer Lynch,
This week, GEDmatch, a genetic genealogy company that gained notoriety for giving law enforcement access to its customers' DNA data, quietly informed its users it is now operated by Verogen, Inc., a company expressly formed two years ago to market "next-generation [DNA] sequencing" technology to crime labs.
What this means for GEDmatch's 1.3 million users — and for the 60% of white Americans who share DNA with those users — remains to be seen.
GEDmatch allows users to upload an electronic file containing their raw genotyped DNA data so that they can compare it to other users' data to find biological family relationships. It estimates how close or distant those relationships may be (e.g., a direct connection, like a parent, or a distant connection, like a third cousin), and it enables users to determine where, along each chromosome, their DNA may be similar to another user. It also predicts characteristics like ethnicity.
Never miss the news and analysis you care about.
An estimated 30 million people have used genetic genealogy databases like GEDmatch to identify biological relatives and build a family tree, and law enforcement officers have been capitalizing on all that freely available data in criminal investigations. Estimates are that genetic genealogy sites were used in around 200 cases just last year. For many of those cases, officers never sought a warrant or any legal process at all.
Earlier this year, after public outcry, GEDmatch changed its previous position allowing for warrantless law enforcement searches, opted out all its users from those searches, and required all users to expressly opt in if they wanted to allow access to their genetic data. Only a small percentage did. But opting out has not prevented law enforcement from accessing consumers' genetic data, as long as they can get a warrant, which one Orlando, Florida officer did last summer.
Law enforcement has argued that people using genetic genealogy services have no expectation of privacy in their genetic data because users have willingly shared their data with the genetics company and with other users and have "consented" to a company's terms of service. But the Supreme Court rejected a similar argument in Carpenter v. United States.
In Carpenter, the Court ruled that even though our cell phone location data is shared with or stored by a phone company, we still have a reasonable expectation of privacy in it because of all the sensitive and private information it can reveal about our lives. Similarly, genetic data can reveal a whole host of extremely private and sensitive information about people, from their likelihood to inherit specific diseases to where their ancestors are from to whether they have a sister or brother they never knew about. Researchers have even theorized at one time or another that DNA may predict race, intelligence, criminality, sexual orientation, and political ideology. Even if later disproved, officials may rely on outdated research like this to make judgements about and discriminate against people. Because genetic data is so sensitive, we have an expectation of privacy in it, even if other people can access it.
However, whether individual users of genetic genealogy databases have consented to law enforcement searches is somewhat beside the point. In all cases that we know of so far, law enforcement isn't looking for the person who uploaded their DNA to a consumer site, they are looking for that person's distant relatives — people who never could have consented to this kind of use of their genetic data because they don't have any control over the DNA they happen to share with the site's users.
That means these searches are nothing more than fishing expeditions through millions of innocent people's DNA. They are not targeted at finding specific users or based on individualized suspicion — a fact the police admit because they don't know who their suspect is. They are supported only by the hope that a crime scene sample might somehow be genetically linked to DNA submitted to a genetic genealogy database by a distant relative, which might give officers a lead in a case. There's a real question whether a warrant that allows this kind of search could ever meet the particularity requirements of the Fourth Amendment.
These are also dragnet searches, conducted under "general warrants," and no different from officers searching every house in a town with a population of 1.3 million on the off chance that one of those houses could contain evidence useful to finding the perpetrator of a crime. With or without a warrant, the Fourth Amendment prohibits searches like this in the physical world, and it should prohibit genetic dragnets like this one as well.
We need to think long and hard as a society about whether law enforcement should be allowed to access genetic genealogy databases at all — even with a warrant. These searches impact millions of Americans. Although GEDmatch likely only encompasses about 0.5% of the U.S. adult population, research shows 60% of white Americans can already be identified from its 1.3 million users. This same research shows that once GEDmatch's users encompass just 2% of the U.S. population, 90% of white Americans will be identifiable.
Although many authorities once argued these kinds of searches would only be used as a way to solve cold cases involving the most terrible and serious crimes, that is changing; this year, police used genetic genealogy to implicate a teenager for a sexual assault. Next year it could be used to identify political or environmental protestors. Unlike established criminal DNA databases like the FBI's CODIS database, there are currently few rules governing how and when genetic genealogy searching may be used.
We should worry about these searches for another reason: they can implicate people for crimes they didn't commit. Although police used genetic searching to finally identify the man they believe is the "Golden State Killer," an earlier search in the same case identified a different person. In 2015, a similar search in a different case led police to suspect an innocent man. Even without genetic genealogy searches, DNA matches may lead officers to suspect — and jail — the wrong person, as happened in a California case in 2012. That can happen because we shed DNA constantly and because our DNA may be transferred from one location to another, possibly ending up at the scene of a crime, even if we were never there.
All of this is made even more concerning by the recent acquisition of GEDmatch by a company whose main purpose is to help the police solve crimes. The ability to research family history and disease risk shouldn't carry the threat that our data will be accessible to police or others and used in ways we never could have foreseen. Genetic genealogy searches by law enforcement invade our privacy in unique ways — they allow law enforcement to access information about us that we may not even know ourselves, that we have no ability to hide, and that could reveal more about us in the future than scientists know now. These searches should never be allowed — even with a warrant.

Punishment And Rehabilitation In The Community Criminology Essay
Critically measure the usage of the prison as a sentence of the tribunal in England and Wales over the last 20 old ages.
The 1990 's witnessed a crisp rise in the politicization and in the badness of condemning policy ( Maguire et al, 2007 ) . Since the 1990 's statute law has been to a great extent criticised, this saw the forsaking of cardinal pillars, yet the rise of others. Therefore, The Criminal Justice Act as slightly revolutionised conveying frontward newer statute law over the old ages that have impacted on the manner sentences are used. The alteration in authorities from Conservative to New Labour besides saw a baffled mixture of new constabularies, which have contributed and influenced the usage of the prison.
Since the station war old ages the prison population began to spread out, which led to a sense of crisis for the authorities from two positions. The first was in footings of societal control. The important and quickly lifting prison population had the possible to be perceived as a dislocation in societal order. The other country of concern was due to the spread outing prison population and the addition in outgo. At the clip the authorities were seeking to cut down outgo and incite new community sentences to restrict the figure of wrongdoers who really went to prison. Consequently, there have been many theoreticians who have attempted to construction the condemnable justness system. There have besides been new political orientations for how the prison should be used as a sentence. By analyzing the usage of the prison it will assist to specify modern-day prisons in western societies, non least since there is considerable consensus that the penal system in England and Wales has been in a province of of all time intensifying crisis since the 1960 's ( Maguire et al, 2007 ) .
Statisticss show a major addition in the prison population. In 1989 the prison population was 48,600 throughout the twelvemonth and in 2008 the prison population increased to 83,190. Crime measured by the British Crime Survey ( BCS ) fell from 18.5 million offenses in 1993 to 11.7 million by 2003/04. BCS offense fell by around a 3rd in England and Wales at the same clip as the prison population increased by two-thirds ( Home Office 2008 ) . These statistics suggest that the usage of the prison has been really effectual by how recorded offense rates have fell over the old ages and that the figure of wrongdoers traveling to prison as increased. However, it strikes contention due to the addition in prison populations. In 1997, Labour had created 16,000 more prison topographic points when the Government were seeking to cut down outgo in that country.
'The lead up to the 1991 Criminal Justice Act witnessed a displacement in penal policy. The on-going concerns of of all time turning prison Numberss accompanied a widespread disillusion with the 'rehabilitative ideal ' and concerns were raised about the matching of sentences to wrongdoers instead than the offense ' ( Brownlee 1998 ) . The conservative authorities had issued major alterations to the condemning model influenced by 'retributivist ' theory and the construct of 'just comeuppances ' where wrongdoers were punished in proportion to the offenses they had committed. Besides the 1990 white paper, Crime, Justice and Protecting the Public introduced new statute law in the condemnable justness system. Now, Community sentences could be used as options instead than the usage of imprisonment. Home Office ( 1990 ) besides claimed a more consistent attack to condemning so that felons get at that place merely comeuppances.
The cardinal purposes of condemning were merely sweets and relative sentences ; nevertheless, disincentive was demoted as a sentence. This unfavorable judgment was made of the 1991 Act and 1993 Act as there was an impracticable intercrossed condemning model.
'The Criminal Justice Act 1991 was clear that the chief sentencing determination was to cipher offense earnestness and a proportionate ( commensurate ) sentence. Prison hence, was used to maintain people in detention by the earnestness of the offense ' ( Easton et al, 2005 ) . Consequently, the usage of the prison had changed by admiting the earnestness of the offense, whereas before anybody who committed a offense would merely travel to prison. Therefore, person convicted with slaying would travel to prison, whereas person who was vandalizing would more likely wage a mulct or have a community sentence depending on the fortunes.
'This important piece of statute law appeared to pave the manner for community sentences, and so the Probation Service to play a cardinal function in condemnable justness policy. Courts were now guided by earnestness thresholds, which required them to warrant why a sentence was either " serious plenty " for a community punishment, or " so serious " that merely a tutelary sentence could be warranted ' ( Cavadino & A ; Dignan 2002 ) . By 1993 nevertheless the incoming Home Secretary made it clear that he was an advocator of tutelary steps for wrongdoers in his statement " Prison Works " .
The 1993 Criminal Justice Act rescinded on some of the positive facets of the earlier 1991 Act, and marked a Resurrection of jurisprudence and order rhetoric in finding condemnable justness policy. By 1995 in the Green Paper 'Strengthening Punishment in the Community ' , despite the considerable alterations brought about to community sentences by the 1991 Criminal Justice Act, the claim was made that probation supervising was still regarded as a soft option. The subsequent White Paper 'Protecting the Public ' clearly emphasised the demand for community sentences to hold a punitory instead than rehabilitative focal point, and called upon these sentences to be physically, mentally or emotionally disputing with a emphasis on personal duty and subject.
'The rapid addition in the prison population and the Numberss sent to prison represented a extremist interruption with the practical stableness of old decennaries. Even so, two considerations should be borne in head before imputing the entire duty for the addition in prison population entirely to Michael Howard. First there is some grounds that public sentiment took a more punitory bend in the 1990 's, which might explicate why the awaited public call against Howard 's policies was so hushed, and why the mass media were mostly supportive of these policies ' ( Hough, 1996 ) . Ryan ( 2002 ) besides argued that 'a series of 'moral terrors ' was manipulated by politicians to win the support of electors for a tougher jurisprudence and order platform. 'Populist Punitiveness ' had a major consequence on statute law because it became cardinal to the concerns of the general populace and there responses to offense.
A outline of the 1991 and 1993 Criminal Justice Act highlight the usage of the prison by how serious the offense is. The prison is used to impound autonomy and by 1993 and the usage of community sentences made it more definable by the degree of offense committed by utilizing seriousness thresholds. However, by 1995 they recognised that the probation service was to soft and needful amendments. The usage of the prison was now seen as a last resort or for really serious offenses. In add-on, public sentiment had a major influence on offense, which is argued one of the grounds why the prison population is said to be so high due to the populaces position and fright of offense.
'In May 1997, the Conservative Party was ejected from power as Labour ; Led by Tony Blair enjoyed a landslide triumph. Tony Blair, thought to change Labour to New Labour, and one of the ways he did this was through public image by going tough on offense ' ( Mathews 1999 ) . Labour introduced a assorted sum of statute law, which led to the circulation of community punishments. This was apparent in the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act, which created the Drug Treatment & A ; Testing Order, and the 2000 Criminal Justice and Court Services Act. This brought about the Probation Order, Community Service Order and the Combination Order. Two farther sentences were besides created that are the Exclusion Order and the Drug Abstinence Order. However, the Drug Abstinence Order was subsequently abandoned as it was proved impracticable ; this could be due to 'Populist Punitivism ' . The conservative authorities have a right wing attack, whereas New Labour comes from the left. This nevertheless, had small consequence for the usage of the prison as labor emphasised on the conservative attack to offense and made it stronger.
Although there was new statute law that gave the tribunal more power and options over the wrongdoer, prison Numberss continued to lift. This was besides evident when David Blunkett became Home Secretary as the prison population started to quickly turn months after ( Guardian 2001 ) . In 2001, the prison crisis of over crowding, and the financial jobs were highlighted once more, which resulted in new statute law from consequences drawn from the Halliday Report.
'The reappraisal was born out of a belief that the present sentencing model suffers from serious lacks that cut down its parts to offense decrease and public assurance ' ( Halliday 2001 ) .
The study highlighted cardinal restrictions and suggested new attacks to beef up the condemnable justness system. One of the highlighted jobs was the short prison sentences of less than 12 months and that they had no consequence on the wrongdoer. It was besides noted that relentless wrongdoers do non look to have significantly longer prison sentences. Halliday ( 2001 ) shows that in a sample of male wrongdoers aged over 18 and sentenced in1998, the mean sentence for burglary for an wrongdoer with 10 or more old strong beliefs was merely 4 months more than person with no strong beliefs.
The Halliday Report led to the White Paper in 2002, Justice For All, which sets out the Governments far making proposals for the reform of the condemnable justness system and resulted in the 2003 Criminal Justice Act. 'The Halliday Report noted that merely comeuppances and the penalty suiting the offense are cardinal characteristics of the statutory model set up in 1991 and that there is nil incorrect with this in itself. However the study now focuses on three grades of earnestness established by the Act: mulcts, community penalty and detention ' ( Easton, 2005 ) . This created a new model and hence saw the prostration of merely comeuppances. Alternatively of concentrating on merely how serious the offense was for penalty, the tribunal now had power to penalize the wrongdoer in many of different ways depending on the offense.
From the 2001 Halliday Report and the 2002 White Paper the new findings created a new model to sentences. The Act clearly sets out the intents of sentencing, which include retaliatory, disincentive and reductive, reform & A ; rehabilitation, public protection, and reparation, ( Criminal Justice Act 2003 ) . The Halliday Report besides influenced the new statute law in 2003 by placing a spread in the sentencing model. The Act replaced all the grownup community sentences with a generic community sentence. This allowed the tribunals to attach demands to this community sentence from a figure of options ; supervising, unpaid work, activities, prohibited activities, accredited programmes, curfew, exclusion, abode, mental wellness intervention, drug rehabilitation, intoxicant intervention, attending Centre ( for under 25 yr olds ) ( Criminal Justice Act 2003 ) .
The Criminal Justice Act 2003 besides introduced a figure of other steps such as Conditional Cautions, Strengthened postponement of sentence to include an component of probation supervising, Custody Plus, Intermittent Custody, new Suspended Sentence Order ; nevertheless, these steps show ill-defined boundaries between community and tutelary punishments. Therefore, the statement against this is whether the tribunals will favor a detention followed by a rehabilitative sentence and that they will go more popular, which will assist cut down overcrowding. Faulkner ( 2002 ) prior to the 2003 Criminal Justice Act urged cautiousness in seeing the debut of a new condemning model as the reply to turn toing offense. He states that: 'If the new sentences are to lend to cut down rates of offense or re-offending, they will at the really least hold to be applied in the context of a prison system which is no longer distracted by overcrowding, of a well-resourced and advanced National Probation Service ' . This may propose that there is a covert significance under the new model for the usage of imprisonment. By using community sentences it is thought that this will liberate prison infinite, which will halt over crowding and do penalty worth while. However, statistics show far greater usage is being made of the prison and probation service because 'in 1996, 85,000 wrongdoers were given a tutelary sentence and 133,000 were given a community sentence. By 2001, both had increased by 25 per cent, with 107,000 wrongdoers given a tutelary sentence and 166,000 wrongdoers having a community sentence ' ( mention ) .
The usage of the prison as changed significantly over the old ages, with a major influence from the alteration in authorities and the alteration in the sentencing model. Originally, the prison was used for any type of offense but due to over herding the authorities came to recognize that the prison should be used for the more serious offenses and introduced the community service for junior-grade offenses. Community service was perceived to liberate up prison infinite and the financial crisis, nevertheless the prison population kept spread outing over the old ages. This could be due to the Numberss of wrongdoers caught and sentenced as constabulary powers had expanded or the addition in the overall earnestness of the offenses brought to justness or the addition in the sentence badness for specific offenses. New statute law allowed the tribunals to hold an option, nevertheless, this shortly expanded concentrating more on community services utilizing the prison as the last resort. Cipher wants to travel to prison ; hence by publishing a community service it is giving them a strong warning utilizing the prison as the most feared penalty. Persons who so break the community service penalty will so be sent to prison.
A new Act came Criminal justness and in-migration act 2008 brought frontward the release day of the month of captives functioning sentences greater than 4 old ages imposed before 4 April 2005. It did non use to captives functioning life sentences or functioning sentences for violent or sexual offenses. This subdivision came into force on 9 June 2008. This was in order to relieve prison overcrowding.
prisons are for suspects refused bond and detained before test, or convicted but non yet sentenced, are held in detention to guarantee that the class of justness returns to its decision and that everyone concerned is protected against the likeliness of injury in the meantime.
The system needs to guarantee that the increased investing in prison and probation is targeted efficaciously to cut down offense and keep public assurance. The usage of prison and probation has increased by over a one-fourth since 1996, even though the figure of people arrested and sentenced has remained loosely changeless. The growing is due to the increased badness of sentences, which is linked to the autumn in the usage of mulcts.

Q: Set a property to JS function's prototype I create function and add property in its prototype as following
let F = function(){}
 F.prototype.foo = 'abc'

My question is why it will return undefined when using the F.foo?
But after using this

let F = function() {}
F.prototype.foo = 'abc'
let fn = new F()
console.log(fn.foo) // return 'abc'

A: foo is a property of the prototype object, one which instances have an internal prototype of when instantiated. This is not the same thing as the constructor function, which is completely different.
When you call the constructor function, you get an instance in return, but the constructor is not an instance or the instance's prototype.
This is how the prototype chain works here:
Object.prototype -> Function.prototype -> F

Object.prototype -> F.prototype -> fn

When you set something on F.prototype, it's nowhere on F's internal prototype chain - it's only on the prototype chain of instances.
If you set something on Object.prototype, both F and the fn instance would inherit it:

let F = function() {}
Object.prototype.foo = 'abc'
let fn = new F()
console.log(fn.foo) // return 'abc'
console.log(F.foo);

This works because Object.prototype is within both of their prototype chains.
(But that's just to give you an idea of how things work - in actual code, you should not mutate Object.prototype)

Heart's Content Cable Station
Location: Heart's Content, Newfoundland, Canada
Address: NL-80
Website: www.seethesites.ca
In these days of cellphones and unlimited internet access it is hard for some to imagine a time when communication was a luxury. Transmitting a message from Canada to Europe used to be an impossibility. A small town in Newfoundland played a big part in making the impossible a reality. We visited Heart's Content to see where history was made.
Across the road from the Heart's Content Cable Station are a few monuments which explain how it all came to be.
In 1858 there was an attempt to lay a cable for transmitting telegraph messages between Newfoundland and Ireland. The photo above shows the two nations shaking hands. Two steam boats, the Niagara and the Agamemnon met and joined the cable. Messages were sent between Queen Victoria and President Buchanan, but the cable failed shortly afterwards.
A huge ship called the SS Great Eastern was built. It was designed to be a cruise ship and could hold 4000 passengers. It proved to be too expensive and too big to keep operating as an ocean liner. It found new life as a cable layer since it could hold the 4300 km of cable needed to make the cross-Atlantic attempt once more.
This time the attempt was a success. There was now a cable between Heart's Content and Valencia Ireland. With the telegraphic cable in place, Heart's Content became a busy communications hub and life was very good there.
Inside the station we visited the cable operating room. It was filled with equipment used for transmitting and receiving messages. At the peak of its operations, it also would have been filled with staff handling the equipment.
There would have been operators switching cables to make connections as well as groups transmitting or re-transmitting messages.
They would have transmitted these messages using morse code. Above is an original morse code sheet as well as a re-typed one to make it easier for visitors to read. See if you can use the information above to decipher this message.
-... . - - . .-. --- -. ...- .- -.-. .- - .. --- -.
In order to get the messages across the Atlantic Ocean, there are submerged repeaters which do just what their name implies. They take a message received and repeat it. This keeps the signal strong and allows it to be more easily interpreted at the opposite end.
More and more cables were added to the network and the Heart's Content cable station ran until 1965 when newer technologies made it obsolete. The station now stands as a reminder of how it changed the world.
The box above is where the cables entered the station.
From there they ran towards the water where a morse code plaque reads "Between England and the continent".
On the beach across the road some of the cables still remain.
From there the cables headed across the ocean floor past the Heart's Content candy striped lighthouse and into the open ocean. Somewhere thousands of miles away the message was received. An amazing feat for its time.

June 10 Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev flew in a helicopter over the green zone surrounding Astana, Tengrinews.kz reports. "The President flew over the specially planted forest area forming the green belt around Astana. The total area of the belt is 16,584 hectares, including 11,502 hectares covered with forests containing 9.6 million trees and 1.9 million bushes," the city administration's press-service says. The President raised the issue of the green area around Astana one week ago at the meeting on further development of Astana. "I instructed to create a green belt around Astana and inside the city. Why do you think I want to have every square meter in the city covered with grass? Do you feel that there is no dust anymore? All the dust was generaded in the steppes surrounding the city. This has to be taken care of. We have produced first good results: 55 thousand hectares of forests have been planted around the city," Nursultan Nazarbayev said on June 3. Zhassyl Aimak state company dealing with planting of the green area around Astana, owns eight forestries. Their total area is 66,151 hectares. As per the company, the forests are created in harsh soil and climatic conditions of the steppes zone in two stages: planting of seedlings of drought-resistant and salt-resistant bushes and trees (maple, birch, elm, currant and Juneberry) and planting of more valuable trees (Scotch pine, Siberian larch, Siberian spruce, small-leaved linden and English oak). Astana green area has Siberian pea-trees, maples, current bushes, apple trees, poplars, willows and many other trees. One of the forestries, Ak Kaiyn has purchased a drop irrigation system this year. The plan is that forest plantation works will be continued in the area of 10 thousand hectares in 2012-2013 and starting from 2014 planting of a forest belt around Astana 5 km from the city border is sheduled to begin. As per Zhassyl Aimak, the financing needed for 2012-2014 exceeds 6 billion tenge ($41 million). By Assel Satayeva

FBI again asking Apple to unlock two iPhones belonging to suspected shooter
The FBI is again asking Apple to unlock two iPhones belonging to a suspected shooter.
The last time this happened, in the San Bernardino case, Apple refused. The current case relates to last month's shooting at the Pensacola Naval Air Station, where three people were killed…
CNET reports that the FBI yesterday wrote to Apple requesting help.
The FBI has reportedly asked Apple to help unlock two iPhones that may have belonged to Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, the suspected gunman in a shooting at a Florida Navy base last month that left three people dead. In a letter sent Monday to Apple's general counsel, the FBI said it has court permission to search the phones but investigators have so far been unable to guess the passcodes, according to NBC News. Both iPhones are reportedly passcode protected.
The alleged shooter was a Saudi Arabian national and a trainee pilot for the Saudi Air Force who has been in the US since 2017. He entered a classroom and opened fire with a handgun. The FBI is trying to understand how he was able to obtain the gun and bring it onto the base; foreign nationals are not permitted to possess firearms, and base security should have detected it.
Alshamrani tweeted a message which suggested a possible motive for the attack.
O American people, I'm not against you for being American, I don't hate you because your freedoms, I hate you because every day you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but also humanity.
As in the San Bernardino case, asking Apple to unlock the iPhones is likely to prove fruitless. The only way Apple would have of complying is to do what it refused to do then: create a special version of iOS with a security backdoor. As we argued both before and after the case, this would simply be too dangerous: any backdoor created for use by law enforcement would inevitably be discovered and exploited by criminals.
You cannot have an encryption system which is only a little bit insecure any more than you can be a little bit pregnant. Encryption systems are either secure or they're not – and if they're not then it's a question of when, rather than if, others are able to exploit the vulnerability […]
Weakening encryption would mean sacrificing core principles of civilized societies in the name of security. It would provide not just our own government but foreign governments and criminals with access to our data. And it would do absolutely nothing to prevent terrorists from communicating in secret.
A statement by Apple said that it had already done all that it can.
When the FBI requested information from us relating to this case a month ago, we gave them all of the data in our possession.
This may include iCloud backups of the iPhones. Although these are encrypted, Apple holds the key, meaning it can decrypt the data, giving access to almost all the data stored on the phones.

What is the official Google AdSense Chrome Extension you can use as a publisher?
Google Adsense is one of the most popular platforms to earn money online. If you are a content creator, you can make money by using your traffic generation on your website, Youtube channel, or any platform subjecting to Google. So, we are here to explore the official Google Adsense Chrome Extension you can use as a publisher.
How Google AdSense Works?
Google must first approve your website for Adsense. You can arrange for ads to appear on your website once you've been approved. You have control over the kinds of ads that run and where on your page they appear. However, the advertisements that appear on your website compete for a chance to be there.
Here, there are two factors at work. The first is the CTR, or click-through rate. The second is a collection of things that Google describes as "factors affecting the quality of user experience from viewing the ad." However, Google doesn't reveal these. But as per its help site, the importance of the ad and landing page experience is the key points.
Why should you use a Google Adsense chrome extension?
Chrome extensions are designed to make our browsing and online work easier. Yes, we can experience almost every extension feature by using a website or external application. But, if you have installed a Chrome extension, it makes it easy to use combined with other web pages.
The facts are the same when talking about Google Adsense Chrome extension options. You no longer need to log many websites and tabs to handle your Adsense tools when using chrome extensions.
What is the official Google AdSense Chrome extension by Google?
The official Google AdSense Chrome extension for publishers is called Google Publisher Toolbar. While browsing in Chrome, it enabled users to view the most recent data from their AdSense account. This toolbar provided an overview of earnings and performance (success) from AdSense, Ad Exchange, or DoubleClick for content Publishers' accounts. However, the Google Publisher Toolbar extension is no longer available to use from May 2020. The official Google Adsense Chrome extension was removed from the Chrome Web Store On May 26, 2020.
Then, what is the best alternative extension by Google?
The AdSense Review Toolbar was Google's software application that came before the Publisher Toolbar. The good news is the AdSense Review Toolbar is still available in the Chrome web store. Your website gives you access to the reports that are associated with your Google AdSense and DoubleClick Ad Exchange accounts. You also have access to specific information regarding the advertisements that are currently displayed on the website that is being viewed in the browser.
What are the other chrome extensions you can use to manage ads?
There are a few Chrome extensions you can try as a content publisher. You can use them to make your tasks easier.
AdSense Active View Monitor
This Chrome extension will notify you when an advertisement triggers a website's AdSense active view request. It is a useful method for keeping an eye on ad placement and improving the design for the Active View Viewable metric.
Ezoic helps your website's ad placement, desktop layouts, and mobile layouts to be as effective as possible. The testing conducted by Ezoic's genetic algorithms and artificial intelligence platform led to the optimization.
AdSensor
The network, sizes, availability, and responsiveness of the ad units on a page are all detected by this extension. You can use it to assess how your website's advertisements stack up against your rival's. You can use these comparisons if you want to create changes depending on the type and number of advertisements appearing on the website.
The official Chrome extension for AdSense was Google Publisher Toolbar. However, it is not available to use right now. Then you can use the AdSense Review Toolbar as the official Google extension for AdSense. You can also use extensions like AdSense Active View Monitor, Ezoic, and AdSensor as other extensions to manage ads.

My story so far, in a large and growing nutshell
I was born in New Delhi to a Malayali family - father an officer in the Indian Air Force, mother a schoolteacher and one brother two years older than me. When I was one, we went to England for a two-year stint that I can't remember at all but most of my growing up years were spent in a sort of happy haze between Delhi and Bangalore.
My first novel, Ancient Promises, is semi-autobiographical and describes a Delhi upbringing, interspersed with idyllic holidays in Kerala, which is pretty much how life was. The story is, however, 'book-ended' by an unsuccessful arranged marriage and a divorce that followed ten years later (read the book if you're struck by sudden curiosity!).
My daughter, born with special needs, led me to the world of Special Education and, in 1990, I left for England again, this time to do a post-grad diploma at the Institute of Education in London.
After divorce and a dream-remarriage to my first love (I keep telling you, you must read Ancient Promises), I moved back to England in order to start a new life there. A motley succession of jobs followed - embarrassing at the time, although I can now safely say I was developing a writer's cv. I taught adults with special needs, did child care work in a Social Services department, worked as a radio journalist at the BBC and, most recently, was a film classifier at the British Board of Film Classification in London. Satisfying and exhausting as much of it was, I was moonlighting almost continuously in those years as a novelist. Don't ask why. Writing is like the tap I had in my bathroom in Delhi that I could never turn off fully.
Which is where I went next: to Delhi, where, among other things, I finally saw the long-term residential home for intellectually challenged adults we'd talked about for so long morph into reality. Thanks to a terrific group of parents at Muskaan, most notably the wonderfully serene Shanti Auluck, the Delhi government leased a disused community centre on three acres of land to get the project going and, incredibly, ten residents have now moved in with many more on the waiting list. It's not without challenges but anyone willing to help in any way should contact me asap please.
Trying to maintain a writer's life in Delhi was a distracting business - I spent inordinate amounts of time waiting for VIPs like plumbers to show up, for instance - but I managed to meet my three-books-in-three-years commitment to Harper Collins who published my seventh book of fiction in May 2011. Where do these books emerge from? It's a mysterious process I don't analyse too deeply lest it should, unlikely my drippy tap, suddenly dry up. Never mind that it's an even greater source of wonder to me that all these books get read at all. Where do people find the time??
For those of you unfamiliar with my writing, there's more on my novels elsewhere on this site. If you get around to reading any, please do use the feedback section as I like knowing what readers think of them (erm ... I'm robust and can take criticism).
Or so I thought - until my most ambitious book so far, a big historical novel based on the life of Rani Lakshmibai and set in nineteenth century British India, was banned by the Uttar Pradesh state government! Though deeply impressed by TV scenes of pandemonium in the UP assembly, I was, all said and done, terrified by what I'd set off. And upset that people who had clearly not read the book were accusing it of being disrespectful of Rani Lakshmibai, a figure I had in fact grown to like enormously while researching her. Additionally, there appeared to be misunderstandings in India about the genre of historical fiction in which it's usually considered fair game for writerly imagination to fill in the gaps left behind by recorded history. But a love story (albeit unexpressed and unfulfilled) between a widowed Indian queen and her British political agent was considered inflammatory by some. 'A subtle metaphor for Empire' was the kind of description I'd have preferred personally but never mind. Luckily, sometime after the cinders of those rather plump effigies had been swept away, I sold Rani's 'film rights to a Bollywood company and was instantly filled with the most gratifying sense of divine justice.
You'd hardly blame me, however, for hastily reverting to contemporary life and manners in the books that followed. These were a set of books commissioned by Harper Collins in the UK for their Avon imprint that specialises in commercial fiction. I had to bid a teary goodbye to friends at Penguin and, don't tell Harper Collins, but I still miss that perky penguin on the book jackets. Worse, I lost a whole tranche of readers who were oddly irritated at my departure from that (sort of) lit-fic territory of Ancient Promises and Afterwards. But, c'mon guys, I was never going to be Salman Rushdie, was I? Besides, would any sane writer (admittedly, not many of those around) turn down a three-book-deal? In the middle of a recession? With an agent cracking her whip like crazy in the background?
Anyway, the first of these three novels, Secrets and Lies, was released in June 2009 by Avon's quite fabulous team of appropriately gorgeous women. It's a book that celebrates female friendship, following four women who lead seemingly glamorous lives in London and Bombay but who are haunted by a dark secret from their school days. I'm pleased to say that the book sold very well in the UK and went onto the Heatseeker's list in the second week of its publication. In India too, it appeared on various best-seller lists - so a huge heartfelt thank you to all those lovely people who bought the book.
Secrets and Sins followed in the summer of 2010. It's again a love story of sorts - I'm beginning to think that luurve might be kind of my thing although I tell more serious readers that this book is a 'study of infidelity'. Please, please would a film-maker have a serious read of it; it's tailor-made for Bollywood with its hero conveniently being ... a Bollywood star!
A Scandalous Secret is the last in that series (phew) and reverts in a curious way to the territory of my very first book, being about mothers and daughters. Quite unlike Ancient Promises, however, this is about a woman who tries to suppress the memory of the child she gave away at birth. She thinks her life is under control when she subsequently marries a man who knows nothing about her past ... until the girl, now eighteen herself, turns up in Delhi on a mission to find her mother.
I took a break after all that writing to deadline stuff and used part of it to edit a marvellous anthology on the subject of motherhood. Of Mothers and Others is a truly terrific collection, with contributors like Manju Kapur and Shashi Deshpande and Urvashi Butalia, and tackles unusual aspects of motherhood that often escape the general discourse so I do hope you'll get a copy - all profits go to Save the Children India.
I moved to Kerala after that, partly to keep an eye on my mother and also to build a small home on Veli beach. I have plans for it to become a writers' retreat but more on that anon.
My most recent novel, A Love Story for My Sister, was published in 2014: it uses a binary narrative, part-historical, part-contemporary, and tells the story of two kidnapped 18-year-olds who never come home - one lives in contemporary Delhi and the other in Kanpur (Cawnpore!) of 1857. It explores the idea of Stockholm Syndrome whereby someone falls in love with their captor but it's really about the grief of a girl at her sister's death. Now, if all that sounds terribly complicated, well it's meant to be as I thought I owed it to myself to take on something a bit more complex after all that commercial fiction airiness (ssshhh).
NOW, in a complete departure from everything I've written so far, my newest, brightest, shiniest book, mint-new as I write, is ... wait for this ... NON FICTION!! No, no, despite travelling at alarming speed towards my dotage, I'm not going all earnest and serious just yet. But I couldn't resist writing up my experiences of trying to build a beach home in Kerala because those two years were filled with such comedy and pathos, they deserved to be widely shared. It's called A House for Mr Misra because there's no one else for whom I'd have embarked on such a suicidal project. Besides, the title sends a subtle signal to the eponymous hero that I haven't been thanked properly yet.
Well, I do hope my dear sweet readers enjoy this new offering. I'm grateful, as ever, to those of you who buy my books and take the time to read them in these busy, distracting times.

St. Charles mother charged after 9-year-old son rarely shows up for school
Posted 6:29 pm, June 20, 2018, by Erika Tallan, Updated at 06:24PM, June 20, 2018
ST. CHARLES, MO - The St. Charles County Prosecutors Office has charged a mother with violation of education requirements for a child.
Jessica Pence-Nicholson is accused of failing to ensure the regular attendance of her 9-year-old son, who's a student at Blackhurst Elementary School.
Fox 2/KPLR 11 spoke exclusively to Pence-Nicholson who was surprised about the charges but admitted that her three sons, not just her 9-year-old had indeed been absent from school often.
"They had missed a lot, yes," Pence-Nicholson said. "I don`t know how to explain a lot but quite a bit, yes."
According to the probable cause statement, her son had only shown up at school 50.63% of the school days from August 2017 to December 2017 and that his attendance "is part of a pattern of poor attendance which began before he reached the required age of attendance (7 years old) and was in kindergarten."
Pence-Nicholson said her 9-year-old and other sons have had to miss school for a slew of reasons including deaths in the family, sicknesses and a dangerous situation with her ex-husband which gives her son anxiety.
"If I have to stay up all night just because he has a bad dream, I`m not going to send him to school the next day you know because he gets sick to his stomach," she said. "I wish that it was not like this for our lives, I wish things were better," she added.
In a statement, the City of St. Charles School District said school officials are required to report suspected cases of educational neglect to the state's child abuse and neglect hotline then the Missouri Department of Social Services investigates.
"Regular attendance is essential to a child's success in school and our staff work diligently to monitor student attendance and follow state law," Chris Bennett, Communications Coordinator of the City of St. Charles School District wrote. "We also do our very best to work with families to address any hardships that may be preventing regular student attendance. It is only after all interventions fail that a hotline call is initiated."
The Missouri Department of Social Services placed the family on supervised probation but Pence-Nicholson showed documentation that the agency dropped the case in May. These criminal charges were filed after a school resource officer with the St. Charles Police Department brought the investigation to prosecutors.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is backing routine NHS use of Amgen's Kyprolis as an option for treating patients with multiple myeloma at first relapse.
In a Final Appraisal Determination, the Institute has recommended the drug in combination with dexamethasone for adults with relapsed multiple myeloma (RMM) who have received one prior therapy that does not include bortezomib.
Kyprolis is an intravenously-administered irreversible proteasome inhibitor that binds to the N-terminal threonine site, which causes degradation of the proteins in the cell.
Data from the ENDEAVOR study showed that patients treated with Kyprolis/dexamethasone achieved 50 percent greater progression-free survival of 18.7 months compared to 9.4 months in those receiving Janssen's Velcade (bortezomib)/dexamethasone.
"It is great news that carfilzomib, in combination with dexamethasone, has been approved by NICE. The decision means that myeloma patients who have not previously received bortezomib will have the option of accessing a new and effective proteasome inhibitor at first relapse," said Kate Morgan, policy and public Affairs Manager, Myeloma UK.
"We have worked collaboratively with NICE to identify and submit an optimal submission package for carfilzomib and we are very pleased with the outcome today," said Tony Patrikios, executive medical director at Amgen UK and Ireland.
In the UK, there are approximately 17,500 people living with myeloma and it accounts for around 2% of all cancers. With around 5,500 new cases diagnosed each year, the UK incidence rate is ninth highest in Europe for males and eighth highest for females.


The classic definition, of course, is approaching sales from multiple angles: in-store, desktop, mobile devices, etc.
But is it enough? After all, the omnichannel undertaking is usually one that involves a company branching out beyond what might be its traditional engagement with consumers. Consider the brick-and-mortar firm that looks to gain attention from online offerings, or Amazon's own forays into bookstores and physical outlets.
To that end, Diebold Nixdorf has unveiled Vynamic™, a software suite geared toward the retail and financial services verticals. The suite, the company said in a recent release, helps businesses offer what it calls "agile and seamless" solutions across mobile and physical avenues of commerce.
In an interview with PYMNTS, Alan Kerr, SVP of Software at Diebold Nixdorf, said that omnichannel pulls together the disparate threads of commerce at work within a single institution. A bank's channels, by way of example, can run the gamut from ATMs to online to mobile channels. The consumer may wish to start a transaction online and finish it via phone. Thus, the key for businesses is to have information flow seamlessly across all channels and then to the retail experience.
True connected commerce, said the executive, is "the connection of multiple omnichannels." An example can be seen when a consumer goes into their mobile banking application and is alerted to offers from retailers.
Thus, siloed information — data and insight that is kept within departments that is shared across the enterprise and then between enterprises — could lead to more efficient ways of doing business, boosting the top and bottom lines of those companies.
The process, said Kerr, is not an easy one and takes time — not to mention technology. An open approach to data is necessary, he told PYMNTS, with "simple interfaces that allow you to share data" (via open APIs) through cloud-based initiatives.
The goal is a shift from transactions to personalized connections. Picture the consumer who wants to buy a car — applying for a car loan and then visiting the showroom to buy the car (again, the bank and the retail experience are intertwined). In an ideal connected commerce experience that transcends a single business, information flow is both tailored and timely.
Reflecting on the regulatory environment, Kerr stated that PSD2 stands out as "a massive change" in data sharing. The initiatives "offer an opportunity to the banks, but also a threat if you don't embrace that opportunity … mobile devices [are] the single most important interfaces," said the executive.
Diebold Nixdorf, in recognizing this importance of portable commerce, moved to develop mobile apps for banking and retail sectors. That mobile focus comes in tandem with customer loyalty and engagement programs, said Kerr, but, as he noted, "it's not enough just to look at loyalty schemes." The average consumer has dozens of applications on their phones, and enterprises face the challenge of using those conduits to try and engage buyers well before the point of actual transaction.
The company's personalized engagement platform, Vynamic, seeks to span the distance from mobile to physical points like in-store advertising on TV screens to coupons and discounting. These avenues of engagement help enrich the brick-and-mortar retail experience, he said. The executive offered a scenario where someone can walk into a store, try on a pair of shoes, click a button to buy them and then have them shipped to their home — without having to lug them around for the rest of the day.


(from R.L. a professional plumber) Just wanted to stop by and let you know that I enjoyed your toiletology site. If I may, I would like to point out an additional answer to the question why the 1.6 toilet would start flushing poorly. We live and work in a new suburb, so most all of the toilets we service are 1.6ers. We've found that those blue drop-in tank tablets (NOTE: white tablets also cause the problem) will slow the flush badly enough to where the water will build up to the rim and just swirl around. If the tablet is placed just right in the tank, the water will hit it hard enough to over saturate the blue stuff. When this happens, the water becomes "thick and heavy". The trap in the toilet was designed to have clean clear water running over it at a calculated speed. The blue stuff gets thick enough to slow the water rushing over the trap thus causing the siphon action to never fully develop.
We see this problem every week. It's worse with the 1.6ers because you're dealing with a lot less water than a "normal" water closet. I've had customers swear to me they need a new toilet and tell me "that sounds crazy" when I tell them about the blue stuff. So, I put on my rubber glove, remove the tablet, flush 5-7 times and guess what, the toilet is as good as new!! You wouldn't believe the looks on their faces, especially when the realize they almost forced me to install a new toilet.
(Kay's reply) I must say, that I understand your customer's need to see a demo. It's hard to grasp, considering under normal use water passing through a toilet trap is usually not "clean and clear".
(R.L. says) It's true what you say about the "not usually clean and clear", but the difference is the chemistry in the water, not the solids being flushed. Water will carry the solids, but the blue "heavy" water won't even carry itself.
(http://heptapod.org/2005/oct/102905.html) AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT... Unfortunately I didn't have the tools for the job and made a trip to Home Depot before sunrise. Seventy five dollars later, I had purchased a 6 foot auger and a big wrench to fix the problem.	A search of Google was very important to this story and the eventual, successful outcome. I found Toiletology, a website obviously dedicated to the most used seat in the house. My search for "toilet not flushing all the way" gave the first result to a link about 'blue goo'. Interesting, I had one of those blue toilet breathmints in the tank. Folks were rejoicing, joyously exclaiming that removing the tablet and rinsing out the tank was the cure for their ailing commode! I figured I knew better and wrenched open the PVC cap on the pipe leading to the main line. No backup.
(Ames, Iowa) I got 3 Blue Goo pellets for an Xmas present for Christmas 2008. Cool I thought. I dropped one in the 1.6 gpf new toilet and it was nice and blue and works perfect. So a week later I dropped one in the 3.5 gpf old toilet. A couple hours later, it would not flush, just swirled and swirled. For two days, I went through 2 plungers, 10 buckets of water, 1 wire coat hanger, 1/4 bottle of vinegar, and 2 hours searching on the Internet, and nothing worked :-( My girlfriend and I got into a big toodoo over this, I was blaming her and she was blaming me. I told her it was immmmmpooooosssssible for a tiny Blue-Goo Pellet to clog a toilet. I said look at it, it's 5 inches from the flapper :-0 We were going to go buy a new toilet tonight for $200, and then luckily I just found your web page, and I scooped out the remnants of the Blue Goo and the next flush worked! Amazing! I wouldn't have believed it except I saw it. Boy, am I happy right now :-) So now I have to say I'm sorry :-) I'm cc'ing Tracey on this email so she can see how embarrased and sorry I am. I'm also cc'ing the gift giver, Peg, so she knows about Blue Goo Too. Peg, thanks for the gift, but next year I just want a bottle of toilet cleaner.
(J.C. , So. FL) I just enjoyed your 101 site and read the horror stories about the blue goo. Well, I am a service plumber in South Florida, and the other problems I've found with the "blue goo" is that it will also find its way into the flush rim of the toilet where, once there you'll have to flush your toilet for months to get rid of the problem, or get a new toilet.
Another thing is that here in South Florida we have high concentrations of chlorine in our water. Using these things that you drop into the tank cause major damage to the flapper and other rubber compound components in the tank. It is doing this by adding even more bleach to the water. Has our world become so lazy that we can't clean our toilets the old fashion way?? If you get a chance read the warning label placed at the bottom of a Fluidmaster ballcock box, I think you will be surprised to see what it says. Again thanks for the great site!!!
(B.S.) It Works! Thank you for the very good information on the Lazy Toilet and the Blue Goo. I have been plagued with both of those things for quite some time now. I never gave it a thought about the density of the water used in the toilet, and I am a retired Plumber, and always glad to learn something new. Thank you for your most informative web page, It solved my problem's, everything is working in great shape now.
(Independence, MO) I would have never guessed that the blue tablet was a part of the problem with my lazy-flushing 1.6G toilets. They have been removed! Incidentally, I am a Civil Engineer with extensive training and experience in hydraulics and gravity and pressure flow systems, and I still did not recognize this possible source of the problem.
(B.J. in Utah)A few weeks ago I came across your site while trying to figure out what to do about our slow flowing toilets. My husband thought he was being helpful by putting a Clorox tab as well as a 2000 flushes tab in each of our toilets serveral weeks previously. I was so miffed a him. I told him that every time we have ever had any of those products in one of our toilets it did nothing but cause problems and the toilets to work incorrectly. He just blew me and my protests off.
Well, in the interim, our toilets started to act up, not flushing properly and leaving behind little "surprises" for us. I decided to take it upon myself to figure out what to do and went looking on the internet for solutions. Other sites and places I looked talked about trying to unclog the toilet in a variety of ways as well as replacing the toilet. Until I got to your site and found the term "Blue-Goo." Instinctively I knew this is what I was looking. I read every page you had about the blue-goo, all of the testimoials and why the goo causes these problems. I was about two-thirds through the testimonials when my husband came downstairs where I happily told him I was right, and not only was I right, but there were three pages of people as well as further information that said I was right as well. He was not nearly as impressed as I was, but when I told my mom about it, she said it definitely made sense to her.
After I told my husband we had to get rid of the remainer, he asked me, well, then how do you keep the toilet clean? I said the only way to keep it clean is to clean it manually. Bummer, and I was raised in a house with four brothers whose job it was to clean the toilet, because chances were they made a much larger mess than I, so I have almost always deferred toilet cleaning to my husband. I also wanted him to clean the blue-goo out, but ended up cleaning it out myself, it took some time, some gloves and lots of water, but I got the blue stuff and the remaining clorox tabs out and not the toilets run freely. Thanks for the advice on the "Blue-Goo," I have no intentions of ever using those typse of products ever again and if that means I have to clean the toilets a little more myself, then so be it, it's better that than lifting the lid to find a "surprise."
In the future, if I ever need toilet advice, I will seek out your site and I will refer others to it as well, and I will try to sway consumers away from the the products that create the "Blue-Goo." Thanks, B-J in Utah.
(Jacob, Charlotte, NC) We started using the little blue tablets to ward off water staining in our toilets. All was fine until we went away for a 5 day trip only to return and find our Master bedroom toilet unable to flush a single square of toilet paper. I figured it was time to call in the heavy artillery when repeated plunging failed to put a dent in the "plug". Glad I Googled "plumbing slow flush toilet" and landed your Blue Goo stories before making call to the plumber. No more blue tablets for our bowls!!	Thanks!!!! You saved us a bundle!
(P.T.) Thanks for telling me about "Blue Goo," I promise never to use it ever again! You just saved me $75.00 for a repair bill.
(M.C., Nova Scotia, Canada) Just wanted to send along my thanks for your Blue Goo article - found your site after three and a half hour of plunging, augering and almost calling a plumber. Although very skeptical at first that this was my problem, I thought what do I have to lose... after a thorough scrubing and flushing it worked to my amazment... I have e-mailed your site and article to everyone I know and I have also contacted the WD-40 Co. who makes the 2000 Flushes Blue Puck... they have sent out a claim form and are offering to replace my now severly scratched toilet bowl (from the augering) with a new bowl, with labour costs included... Unfortunately they are blaming this problem on a probable bad batch of blue pucks, as they said this is the first they have heard of this problem.. go fiqure eh... Again thank-you, your site is a God send.
(Miami, FL) We had one toilet in the master bath that started to flush very slowly. I called a plumber who used the snake a couple of times to "unclog" any blockage. There was no difference - what he did made no difference. He then informed me that I need a new toilet and that was the only solution. I decided to search the internet " how to fix a slowing draining toilet " and came across your article about the blue story and saw that I wasn't the only one who got this advice from a plumber. I'm happy to report that your solution worked. I drained the tank and scooped out the blue goo and flushed several times. Now the toilet works like it was brand new. It's a good thing I saw your article before calling another plumber. Thanks for your most informative article.
(RM, Long Island, NY) I must add my congratulations and thanks for the information on the Blue Goo scourge. I have a 40 year old Elger toilet which was working and looking great until a couple of weeks ago. At first, one flush out of ten was a dud, then a few more until this week, when every flush was an adventure. I went through the standard fixes, the plunger, closet auger, water feed system check and such until I thought it was the line from the toilet to the downpipe so I was prepared to remove the toilet and use a power snake. One thing I noticed was that the toilet did not back up and overflow, regardless of the amount or frequency of flushes. This is key, if the water overflows the bowl, it is probably a clogged line. In desperation I searched the internet for slow flushing toilet info and came up with your site on the first hit. After reading through the suggestions, the Blue Goo story came to light. Sure enough, I had just installed a set of lozenges before the problem developed! On went the gloves and out came the pills. I took out the flapper and let the water run continuously while I flushed out the blue stuff using a plastic half gallon milk container filled from the sink. It still took about 20 minutes to clear it all out and it was messy as heck, but the water never overflowed which gave me hope. When the tank water was clear, I put the flapper in, depressed the lever and then...... SUCCESS. The toilet is operating like new on every flush! This is to show that not only low volume toilets but the old standbys, with large rim holes are victims of the same product. From now on, only clear water for me!!! Thanks again.
(D.M., Chicago, IL) Hi, I just want to thank you for the "Blue Goo" story, and recommendations. I had the problem with the slow swirling flushes,and after much consideration....we were sure we needed a new toilet...as ours is very old. My husband said he would take care of it. While my husband is a brilliant man....and quite handy, he is not extremely motivated. I decided to see if there was anything we could do in the mean time as my family needs to be able to make use of both bathrooms. After reading your article, I immediately put on my rubber gloves and got to work. It was a messy task, but after about an hour or so.....the toilet was flushing normally! Truly unbelievable! Needless to say, my family and I are very pleased......and grateful to you!!! I have added your site in my bookmarks. I never thought I would be writing a letter to a toiletology website....but I had to tell you how wonderful you are!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You have helped us tremendously! Your site is number 1 in my book!!! I definitely won't be buying any Blue Goo in the future! Thanks again, and feel free to post this on your feedback forum!!!
(A.E.M.) I just wanted to thank you a thousand times for having this advice available to me . My wife unknowingly did the tablets and my toilet stopped working properly . With your help I was able to fix it . You are the best thank you !!!!

L'École normale Laval est une école normale québécoise située à Québec et ayant existé de 1856 à 1970.

Histoire

En , la Chambre d'assemblée du Bas-Canada adopte une loi créant les écoles normales. L'École normale Laval est créée le  par un règlement de Pierre-Joseph-Olivier Chauveau, alors surintendant de l'éducation du Bas-Canada. Son objectif est de former les enseignants francophones des districts bas-canadiens à l'est de Trois-Rivières. Les femmes n'y ont pas accès et étudient plutôt au monastère des Ursulines de Québec. Un cursus d'une année permet d'obtenir un diplôme d'enseignement dans une école élémentaire et un cursus de deux ans dans une école-modèle.

De 1857 à 1892, l'École est située au château Haldimand. Elle est ensuite hébergée temporairement au séminaire de Québec jusqu'en 1900. Elle déménage ensuite à l'ancienne villa de Guillaume-Eugène Chinic sur le chemin Sainte-Foy. L'édifice rehaussé d'un étage et agrandi sur les côtés. Vers 1960, le bâtiment est détruit pour faire place à l'école secondaire Joseph-François-Perrault. L'École normale déménage donc une dernière fois, à l'emplacement actuel du Cégep Garneau. En 1970, la formation des enseignants passe à la Faculté des sciences de l'éducation de l'Université Laval.

The 4 Agreements
LOS CUATRO ACUERDOS: UN LIBRO DE SABIDURÍA TOLTECA
Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and
create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements
offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new
experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
Be Impeccable With Your Word: While this agreement is the most important, it is the
most difficult one to honor. The word impeccable comes from the Latin word peccatus
meaning "sin", and the "im" in the beginning of impeccable is the Latin prefix that means
"without". Ruiz describes a sin to be anything that goes against oneself, and therefore
being impeccable with language means to take responsibility for one's actions and remain
without judgment against oneself and others. Focus on the significance of speaking with
integrity and carefully choosing words before saying them aloud.
Don't Take Anything Personally: The second agreement provides readers with a way to
deal with hurtful treatment from others that they may experience in life. It advocates the
importance of having a strong sense of self and not needing to rely on the opinions of
others in order to be content and satisfied with their self-image. This agreement also
allows us to understand that each individual has a unique worldview that alters their own
perceptions, and that the actions and beliefs of a person is a projection of their own
personal reality. Anger, jealousy, envy, and even sadness can lessen or dissipate once we
stops taking things personally.
Don't Make Assumptions: The third agreement describes the issue of making
assumptions, how it leads to suffering, and why individuals should not partake in making
them. When one assumes what others are thinking, it can create stress and interpersonal
conflict because the person believes their assumption is a representation of the truth. A
solution to overcoming the act of making an assumption is to ask questions and ensure
that the communication is clear between the persons involved. Individuals can avoid
misunderstandings, sadness, and drama by not making assumptions.
Always Do Your Best: The fourth agreement allows readers to have better insight into
achieving progress towards their goals in life. This agreement entails integrating the first
three agreements into daily life and also living to one's full potential. It involves doing the
best that one can individually manage, which varies from the different situations and
circumstances that the individual may encounter. If one does their best in any given
moment, they will be able to avoid self-judgment and regret. By incorporating the first
three agreements and doing the best they can in all facets of life, individuals will be able
to live a life free from sorrow and self-ridicule.

Andrew Gold, who has died aged 59, had three middle-of-the-road British chart hits in the late 1970s, beginning with Lonely Boy, which reached No 11 in April 1977.
Gold's second chart success, in March 1978, was Never Let Her Slip Away. This was his biggest British hit, reaching No 5 in the charts.
After How Can This Be Love, which climbed to No 19 the following June, Gold's fourth single, Thank You For Being A Friend (1978), managed to get only to No 42 that October, but achieved notoriety in Britain the following year in a completely unexpected way.
In 1979 detectives hunting the Yorkshire Ripper, a serial killer of prostitutes in the north of England, received a cassette tape in the post. When they played it, they heard a nameless man with a Wearside accent taunt them over their failure to catch him and claim: "I'm Jack [the Ripper]". Puzzlingly, the recording ended with 22 seconds of Gold singing Thank You For Being A Friend.
the course of police interviews about the significance of his choice of music, Humble laughed, but never explained it.
From 1985, Cindy Fee's version of Thank You For Being A Friend was used as the theme song for the American sitcom The Golden Girls.
In 1996 Gold's was the first human voice to be "heard" on the surface of Mars, when Final Frontier, his theme from the American television series Mad About You, was used to activate a robot for the Mars Pathfinder space probe.
Andrew Maurice Gold was born on August 2 1951 at Burbank, Los Angeles, into a musical family. His father, Ernest Gold, composed the scores for dozens of Hollywood films, including Exodus (1960) — for which he won an Oscar — Too Much Too Soon (1958) and On The Beach (1959); his mother, the classically-trained soprano Marni Nixon, was best known for supplying the singing voices for film actresses, notably Deborah Kerr in The King And I (1956), Natalie Wood in West Side Story (1961), and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady (1964). She also appeared as Sister Sophia in The Sound Of Music (1965).
Andrew was 13 when he started writing pop songs, although he never learned to read music. At Oakwood School in north Hollywood, he introduced himself to the singer Linda Ronstadt when she played a gig there with her group the Stone Poneys . By the early 1970s he had joined her band, and in 1974 played a variety of instruments and made the musical arrangements for Linda Ronstadt's breakthrough album Heart Like A Wheel, as well as for her next four albums.
Branching out as a record producer and musician, Gold recorded with Art Garfunkel on his solo hit I Only Have Eyes For You (1977), on which Gold played all the instruments; in the same year he played on Eric Carmen's album Boats Against The Current, from which the track She Did It was a minor chart hit. Over the years he worked with many other major artists, among them John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Cher, James Taylor, Carly Simon and The Eagles.
In the early Eighties, Gold was invited to join Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman in their group 10cc, and was prevented from doing so by conflicting business interests; but when 10cc broke up in late 1983, Gold and Gouldman formed another group, Wax, which toured and recorded until 1989, their biggest hit being Bridge To Your Heart (1987).
In the 1990s Gold, recording under a pseudonym, released an album of original songs in the style of his favourite Sixties' bands, among them The Beatles, The Byrds and The Beach Boys. He was also a prolific composer of music for commercials and of film and television soundtracks.
Andrew Gold, who died on June 3, apparently of a heart attack, is survived by his second wife, Leslie Kogan, and by three daughters of his first marriage.

Cut off the top of the pumpkin about 3-4 inches from the top, just enough to make a nice "lid" and provide easy access to the inside. Set the top aside. Use a spoon to scoop out the pumpkin seeds and pulp. Use a fork to prick the outside of the pumpkin all around its circumference. Place the emptied pumpkin in a large casserole dish or shallow pan. In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the couscous and a few pinches of salt. Return the water to a boil, then take the saucepan off the heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. In another pan, on low-medium heat, saute the onion in oil until translucent. Add the beef and celery and saute until the beef is browned. Add honey, raisins, red wine, and the cooked couscous. Stir to combine everything, then remove from heat. Place the meat-couscous mixture inside the pumpkin, and cover with the top of the pumpkin. Cook at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours, or until the pumpkin can be pierced easily with a fork. At mealtime, bring the whole stuffed pumpkin out to the sukkah. Serve each delighted guest a scoop of pumpkin with its accompanying meat filling.
