El Campeonato Nacional será dividido en dos etapas, el Torneo Regional y el Torneo Descentralizado.

El Torneo Regional será dividido en cuatro grupos (uno de doce equipos y los tres restantes, de cuatro equipos c/u) los cuales serán llamados "Metropolitano", "Norte", "Centro" y "Sur". Los siete primeros del Grupo Metropolitano clasificarán automáticamente al Torneo Descentralizado, mientras que los dos primeros de los tres grupos restantes también clasificban automáticamente al Torneo Descentralizado junto con los dos mejores terceros; el octavo del Grupo Metropolitano y el peor tercero deberán definir su pase al Torneo Descentralizado enfrentándose en partidos de ida y vuelta en la que habrá diferencia de goles. Los cuatro primeros del Grupo Metropolitano clasificarán automáticamente a la Liguilla Regional, junto con el primero de los tres grupos restantes. Los cuatro últimos del Grupo Metropolitano y los tres últimos de los tres grupos restantes, descenderán a la Intermedia 1986. Y el peor último deberá definir su permanencia en Primera contra el último del Torneo Descentralizado en un único partido.

La Liguilla Regional se jugará con siete equipos, la cual se definirá desde los cuartos de final, y en caso de quedar igualados, la cosa se definirá desde la ronda de los penales. El mejor primero de la fase de grupos clasificará automáticamente a la semifinal. En los cuartos de final se enfrentarán seis equipos en un único partido c/u, se enfrentarán el cuarto del Grupo Metropolitano contra el mejor tercer primero y el ganador de este partido jugará la semifinal contra el mejor primero, el tercero del Grupo Metropolitano contra el segundo mejor primero y el ganador de este partido jugará la semifinal contra el ganador del partido entre el segundo del Grupo Metropolitano contra el peor primero. En las semifinales se enfrentarán cuatro equipos en un único partido c/u. La final la jugarán los ganadores de las semifinales en un único partido. El campeón de la Liguilla Regional recibirá 1 punto de bonificación en el Torneo Descentralizado.

El Torneo Descentralizado se jugará con dieciséis equipos, los cuales se enfrentarán entre sí en una liguilla en partidos de ida y vuelta. Los seis primeros del Torneo Descentralizado clasificarán automáticamente a la Liguilla Final, el primero del Torneo Descentralizado recibirá 2 puntos de bonificación en la Liguilla Final, mientras que el segundo del Torneo Descentralizado recibirá 1 punto de bonificación en la Liguilla Final. El último del Torneo Descentralizado deberá definir su permanencia en Primera contra el peor equipo de la fase de grupos en un único partido.

La Liguilla Final se jugará con seis equipos los cuales se enfrentarán entre sí en una liguilla a partido único.

La Fase Final definirá al campeón nacional el cual será el ganador del partido entre el campeón del Torneo Regional y el Torneo Descentralizado, en el caso de que un mismo equipo gane ambos torneos, ésta ya no se jugará, ya que el equipo que gane ambos torneos se consagrará campeón nacional automáticamente.

El descenso lo definirán el peor equipo de la fase de grupos contra el último del Torneo Descentralizado en un único partido, y el perdedor descenderá automáticamente a la Intermedia 1986.

El campeón nacional y el subcampeón nacional (segundo de la Liguilla Final) clasificarán automáticamente a la Copa Libertadores 1986.

Se otorgarán 2 puntos por partidos ganados, 1 punto por partidos empatados y 0 puntos por partidos perdidos.

Centre Delàs joins an international campaign to denounce the use of Israeli-made killer drones at the EU borders
Written by Centre Delàs on 02 April 2020 . Posted in Notícies
A broad alliance of civil society organizations across Europe, including those fighting in solidarity with Palestine, against militarization, for migrant rights groups and unions, launch an international campaign to call on Union Commissioners European Adina Vlean, Virginijus Sinkevicius and Yiva Johansson, to stop the use of drones made by the Israeli company Elbit Systems.
The Centre Delàs d'Estudis per la Pau has joined the petition that can be signed and shared here.
Read the full text of the petition here:
To: EU Commissioner Adina Valean, EU Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius, EU Commissioner Yiva Johansson
Since November 2018 the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) has leased through the Portuguese company CeiiA two Hermes 900 drones, so-called 'killer drones' manufactured by Israel's largest military company Elbit Systems. Under the € 59 million worth 2 year leasing contract, the drones are used mainly to implement the EU's repressive anti-migration policies. Experts condemn the move to aerial surveillance as an abrogation of the responsibility to save lives. Worse, the Elbit's killer drones are supporting Frontex and national authorities in Greece, where migrants and refugees have been targeted with live ammunition at sea.
Elbit Systems develops its drones together with the Israeli military and promotes its technology as field tested – on Palestinians. It provides 85% of the drones used by Israel in its repeated military assaults and continued inhumane siege on Gaza. Hermes drones have been used to kill the four children playing at the beach during Israel's attack on Gaza in 2014.
These drones can kill but can't save lives.
Therefore, I demand:
EMSA to stop using these drones and EMSA and CeiiA not to renew the leasing contract.
Our national authorities not to request these drones for use in their airspace.
the European Union not to spend public tax money to finance Israel's military industry but instead to use its funds to protect human rights for all and not for the militarization of borders and the sea.

Some European Stores listed the price of the new 17-28mm FE lens. It's the same price as the 28-75mm FE!
The lens is listed at BHphoto with no pricing info yet.
On April 7 Sony will have a product launch event at the NABshow. Reliable sources confirmed that we should get new camcorder info only. No new E-mount camera is expected to be announced on that day.
Those reliable sources also confirmed once more that the Sony A7sIII announcement is scheduled for this fall and that this will be a revolutionary camera and not a simple evolution of the current A7sII. We have no specs yet but we have been told the sensor is the key of the revolution. My guess is that this will be the first system camera using a global shutter sensor.
FACT: Sony confirms professional APS-C cameras are on their roadmap and said an enthusiast model is on the way (article here and article here).
FACT: Sony confirms new APS-C E-mount gear will be announced in 2019 and "exceed" expecations (article here).
RUMOR: Sony 8k sensors and new codec specification (90% reliable – article here).
PATENT: Sony patented new 100mm f/1.4, 500mm f/4.0 and 600mm f/4.0 FE lenses (article here and article here).
FACT: Sigma said first lens designed for Sony FF mirrorless will be announced whitin 2019 (article here).
PATENT: Sony patented a new drone camera (article here).
We just got this image teasing the product launch of the new RX0II. The camera is very likely going to be announced on March 25-26. There should be no other product announced on that day.
– Sony A5 (tentative name): Sony has an entry level $1,500 Full Frame E-mount camera. With Sony A7III sales being strong they have no need to release such a model yet. But if the competition will release a model in that price range they would be eventually ready to launch this (SAR note: This info was shared some time before the Canon EOS-RP launch!).
– Sony A7sIII: Sony has developed two prototypes. One "improvement" model which was developed for a possible early 2018 release. And a more "revolutionary" model which is going to hit market in late 2019 or early 2020.
Now, this being a new source of course means we have to take the info with a grain of salt. That said the chat lasted long and he seemed like a genuine guy. Now that Canon has launched the $1,299 EOS-RP FF mirrorless camera we will see if Sony will launch the A5 or not.
A short flange back model designed for Sony FE system is going to be released this year.
So this will be Sigma's first lens designed for mirrorless (and not adapted from existing DSLR designs). Hurray!
He also said that he is "very impressed" by the sales volume of their current FE lenses.
Now the big question is….what kind of lens will they release first? I am sure it will be a prime lens (no zoom yet). What are you hoping to get? Let it know in the comment system!
Sigma 14mm f/1.8 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 20mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 24mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 50mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 70mm macro at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 105mm f/1.4 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
Sigma 135mm f/1.8 at BHphoto, FocusCamera, Amazon and Adorama.
A new competition rumors: We can safely say that Canon will announce a new High Resolution camera by end 2019. It will feature a new 70+ megapixel sensor and on sensor stabilization.
Sony already stated many times in the past that their GM glass resolves up to 10 Megapixel FF sensors. I guess future A7rIV or A9r camera might get closer ot this number too!

A novel technique for studying the Z boson transverse momentum distribution at hadron colliders
M. Vesterinen, T. R. Wyatt
We present a novel method for studying the shape of the Z boson transverse momentum distribution, QT, at hadron colliders in p over(p, -) / pp → Z / γ* → l+ l-. The QT is decomposed into two orthogonal components; one transverse and the other parallel to the di-lepton thrust axis. We show that the transverse component is almost insensitive to the momentum resolution of the individual leptons and is thus more precisely determined on an event-by-event basis than the QT. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a measurement of the distribution of this transverse component is substantially less sensitive to the dominant experimental systematics (resolution unfolding and QT dependence of event selection efficiencies) reported in the previous measurements of the QT distribution. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Since the beginning of time marketers have exploited every channel available. Newspapers, radio, TV and now social media.
The value of each channel, like most things, can be illustrated by a simple curve.
Social media is a valuable channel, no doubt. Yet it is not a silver bullet that will endlessly drive sales and solve a long term problems.
Where many go wrong is that they believe the curve of a particular social network will never drop off.
They invest hours and millions of dollars in perfecting a Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter strategy. But the return on investment, long term, will be minimal.
The idea of social connectedness will continue to grow, no doubt- but certainly not it its current form.
Just as we have moved from black and white tv to multi-channel digital stations in a relatively short time, social media channels will also be ever-changing.
By no means can we underestimate the role of social media as a communications platform.
Just as the past five years have brought us dozens of social networks, the next five will bring hundreds.
There is no silver bullet and we can only control how we allocate our resources. So don't waste too much on the now.

On Monday, July 24 2017 my fellow interns Dustin Ruhe, Simone Williams, and I attended, "Media Diplomacy: Challenging the Indo-Pak Narrative," hosted by the Atlantic Council. The talk centered around a moderated discussion between Mushahid Hussain, a prominent member of the Pakistani Senate as well as the former Minister of Information and Media Broadcasting for Pakistan and Manish Tewari, the former Minister of Information and Broadcasting for India.
Hussain and Tewari offered their individual perspective about the state of media in their own countries and the role it plays in the relationship between the neighboring nation-states. The politicians both agreed that media has played a role in sparking tension between India and Pakistan and expressed that it is still important to, "maintain free and open media," since it, "allows for the exchange of all ideas."1 They further stressed that the government must be involved to allay tension.
While I was keen to hear both speakers' outlooks, I was especially interested in what Senator Hussain had to say. A key figure in the nation's political scene, Hussain is deeply entrenched in the Pakistani establishment, so I expected his views and comments to reflect this cronyism. It was during the question and answer portion, when another attendee and I made inquiries about issues specific to Sindh that the Senator confirmed my assumptions.
Sindh is actually home to thirteen CPEC backed projects, however several experts and officials have identified a number of faults that cast CPEC's supposed benefits into doubt. One area of fault in particular is the negative environmental impact CPEC projects are projected to have on communities. Port Qasim and Thar Coal Block I & Mine Mouth Power Plants are two of the largest CPEC projects in Sindh, however scholar Michael Kugelman has expressed concern over such projects labeling them as, "emissions-belching technologies."2 However, perhaps the greatest environmental threat posed by a CPEC project to Sindh is located more than 900 miles away in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The five-dam Indus Cascade could potentially, "stop the flow of silt – the lifeline of agriculture downstream – as well as drastically reduce the flow of water in the Indus, especially affecting downstream areas like Pakistan's Sindh province."2 While the exact the impacts are still unknown, researcher Hassaan Khan cites the consequences to the agriculture sector in places like Sindh could be significant. These ramifications would be grave for Sindh, as agricultural work accounts for nearly fifty percent of the province's entire labor force.3 The Senator reasoned that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) will create long-lasting prosperity to all of Pakistan, yet the potential risks posed by projects such as the Indus Cascade will only bring about hardship in Sindh.
The Senator did not attempt to give a substantive answer to my question, instead he quipped that the Parliament of Pakistan has taken a, "strong position," on the issue of forced conversions and that, "it's the responsibility of both the federal government as well as the provincial government to ensure the protection of rights of all Pakistanis, including those who are not Muslim."1 The legal actions that the provincial and federal governments have implemented have not improved the plight of the victims of forced conversions. In November 2016, the Sindh Criminal Law (Protection of Minorities) Bill was passed into law by the Sindh provincial government.4 The law makes it illegal to for anyone in Sindh to convert to another religion before the age of eighteen.5 Yet, the perpetrators of forced conversions taking place in Sindh have circumvented this measure by simply falsifying these girls' birth certificates. Ultimately, the ineffectiveness of the Sindh Criminal Law (Protection of Minorities) Bill renders the Senator's answer to my question hollow.
These two incidents highlight a couple of key issues. Most obviously, the other member of the audience and I's individual encounters confirm Senator Hussain's consistency to prop-up the Pakistani establishment at all costs. More importantly it also shows how little attention he and the Pakistani government as a whole places on the well being of Sindh. This stance is not only disheartening it is also very troublesome. During the talk Senator Hussain revealed that a U.S. delegation is due to visit Pakistan in the coming weeks to discuss the former's planned strategic overhaul for South Asia.6 Privy to such vital information, the Senator possesses the power to help direct the future of U.S. – Pakistan relations. Yet, his attitude exhibited during the discussion at the Atlantic Council indicates that the direction will not be to Sindh's benefit, rather it will likely be to its detriment.
In conclusion, while the focus of "Media Diplomacy: Challenging the Indo-Pak Narrative," was between India and Pakistan's media relationship, the stance maintained by speaker Senator Hussain revealed worrisome implications for Sindh. His refusal to address the issues raised by my fellow attendee and I in any real length and detail are further indication of suppression of access to information the Pakistani establishment exercises on smaller provinces like Sindh. This results in the human rights violations occurring in Sindh to be veiled to the international community.

YPF, Petronas Strike $2.3 Billion Deal In Vaca Muerta Shale
By Irina Slav - Dec 05, 2018, 11:00 AM CST
Argentine's state oil and gas company YPF and Malaysian Petronas will invest jointly US$2.3 billion in an oil production project in the Vaca Muerta shale play, one of the largest in the world. The project, S&P Global Platts reports, envisages daily production of 60,000 barrels of crude oil and gas, to be reached by 2022.
The Argentine company said in a statement the two had already spent US$550 million on exploration in the La Amarga Chica area, and have achieved production at a daily rate of 9,800 boe. Over the long term, the partners will invest another US$4.7 billion over 20 years to boost production to 75,000 bpd, which will be the peak for the deposit.
Last year, YPF said it planned to spend US$21.5 billion on new oil and gas production over the next five years, eyeing a 26-percent increase in crude oil production. The company said it would sell some assets to gather the funds necessary for the ambitious production-raising plan, and it will also enlist the help of other companies, which will contribute an estimated US$8.5 billion to its five-year investment program.
Exxon, BP, Total, and Chevron are among the companies that have already pledged substantial funds for oil and gas exploration and production in Vaca Muerta, which holds reserves estimated at 22.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent. Argentina also has 2.4 billion barrels of conventional oil reserves, and is also hoping to score major discoveries offshore, to which end it will schedule a bidding round next year. Hopes are that the pre-salt basin along the Brazilian coast could extend into the Argentine continental shelf.
The country's energy ministry expects that Vaca Muerta will be instrumental in the planned twofold increase in the national oil and gas production to 1 million bpd of crude and 260 million cubic meters of gas by 2023. That would entail an increase in exports to 500,000 bpd of crude and 80 million cubic meters of gas.

Q: Javascript GET redirect URL I need to make a GET call to an API endpoint that returns a redirect, I have exposed the Location using CORS but can't find any method using Ajax nor Fetch to just get the Redirect URL. If anybody could help me out that would be great.

A: See the fetch spec:

Redirects (a response whose status or internal response's (if any) status is a redirect status) are not exposed to APIs. Exposing redirects might leak information not otherwise available through a cross-site scripting attack.

So it can't be done using browser-side JavaScript.

The 45000 fingers of Dr. S
This piece, dating from 2003, is in TOP-tuned ennealimmal temperament; specifically Ennealimmal[54]. It goes no higher than 9-limit but still manages to sound rather aggressively xenharmonic.

Trio in Orwell
A trio for clarinet, English horn and banjo in the orwell temperament, the 22&31 regular temperament you can read about here: http://xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/Semicomma+family This is partly in the 9 note MOS of orwell, and partly explores farther, some of it becoming chromatic within the ambient tuning of the 53 equal division of the octave.
Families of Unramified Extensions of Number Fields
Algebraic methods are used to construct families of unramified abelian extensions of some families of number fields with specified Galois groups.
High Oktone Elgar
This piece is in the eight-note Oktone scale of jove temperament, in the 202et tuning. This means it is the 202 equal tempering of the scale 1-15/14-60/49-5/4-10/7-3/2-12/7-7/4-2, leading to steps 0, 20, 59, 65, 104, 118, 157, 163, 202 of 202edo. It was a response to a proposal by Chris Vaisvil to further vary an Enigma Variations theme by converting it to a xenharmonic piece.

In the movie The Pink Panther Strikes Again, an insane Inspector Dreyfus escapes and terrorizes the world before accidentally disintegrating himself with his own death ray. As he slowly dissappears, he plays the organ. This is my idea of music appropriate to such a condition; it is in the Octoid[72] scale, 72 notes out of 224-et. To quote from the film, "What is the price of one piano compared to the terrible crime that's been committed here?"

SoftSaturn, NebulaSing and TromBonehead are three soundfonts in one of Bree Gorton's collection of tiny but effective soundfonts called "Gort's DoubleDecker". They are the three voices in a Renaissance-style trio in the hobbit scale Guanyin[22], a 22-note scale in the rank three guanyin temperament tempering out 176/175 and 540/539, which is tuned to 111et. This is ostensibly an 11-limit scale, or at least it's an 11-limit hobbit, but 111 can handle much higher limits and a lot of the...

The Paradise of Cantor
"No one shall expel us from the Paradise that Cantor has created." -- David Hilbert. Composed and sequenced by Gene Ward Smith, October 26, 2006. In 130 equal temperament. Successively in the hemw7a, diaconv6144, diaconv2401, Hemiwuer[25], Harry[58], bihexany, and kirkwood gap scales.
Pianodactyl
Pianodactyl is rhythmically complex, with lots of irregular starts and stops, and the name of the piece refers to Rodan. Strangely enough, however, it has nothing whatever to do with math rock. The name refers to Rodan temperament, the 26-note MOS of which is used for the scale. The tuning is 87edo. I was tempted to switch tunings when Jacques Dudon posted his own 26-note tuning for Rodan, but equal temperaments are so convenient when using Scala, and 87 has the amazing property that it's...

The Chebyshev Exponent
The analogy between the nth power function and the nth Chebyshev polynomial is pursued, leading to consideration of Chebyshev radicals as analogous to ordinary radicals and Chebyshev exponents to ordinary exponents, and the cosine and hyperbolic cosine as analogs of the exponential function. We then discuss solving polynomial equations in Chebyshev radicals, and apply this to the construction of unramified extensions of quadratic number fields.
Music For Your Ears
If you exchange 3/2 with 5/3 and 7/4 with 10/7, leaving 2 and 5 fixed, the resulting involution map also interchanges 126/125 and 64/63. If 126/125 is tempered out on one side of the exchange and 64/63 on the other, a tempered but of music can be sent to another bit in another temperament. This piece, dating to 2002, moves from 46-et, which tempers out 126/125, to 27-et, which tempers out 64/63, and back again using this method.
Topics: xenharmonic, microtonal, transformation
Bodacious Breed
Symphonic music in the 2401/2400-planar ("Breed") temperament, tuned to 441-et
Rachmaninoff Plays Blackjack
This is in the 21-note Blackjack scale of miracle temperament, which has attracted some notice of late. The tuning is 175 equal, and the melody was stolen from Sergei, and then folded, spindled, and mutilated. The rest is my fault.

Ostinato on a difference set
This is a severely mathematical exercise applying the 13-element perfect difference set to the 13-element 7-limit tonality diamond. The violin riffs on the difference set, and with the clarinet permutes through various interval relationships, including unisons.
Chromosounds
In 46 equal temperament. Forty-six is the number of human chromosomes, but more relevantly has many useful properties as a temperament.
Clinton Variations
Bill Clinton on his 7-limit just intonation saxophone, hanging out with friends and doing variations on a theme.
Topics: xenharmonic, microtonal, just intonation
Kotekant
Kotekan is a type of Balinese Gamelan music involving fast interlocking parts. In this style there are two independent parts called polos and sangsih, each of which fills in the gaps of the other to form a complete rhythmic texture. This piece does something similar, only in 72edo.
Topics: xenharmonic, microtonal, gamelan, 72edo
Threnody for the Victims of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
The tuning is 13-limit JI, or 6079-et if you want to get technical
Choraled
This string quartet movement keeps trying to turn itself into a nice simple chorale, but keeps being distracted by various confusions and complexities. The chorale has been choraled. The piece is in a 26-note scale in the hemifamity, or 5120/5103 planar, 7-limit temperament. While the vibrato obscures hearing it, it is in the synch tuning, which is a good one for hemifamity.
Nonaginta et novem
Nonaginta et novem is Latin for ninety and nine, and indeed there are 99 notes to the octave in the tuning of this piece. which is in the 99 equal temperament (all of which notes it uses.) Instruments employed (by way of TiMidity++) are marimba, celesta, vibraphone and African thumb piano (kalimba.)
Night on Porcupine Mountain
by Modest Mussorgsky and Gene Ward Smith
Mussorgky's Night on Bald Mountain isn't precisely found below; it has been "porcupinized" to a version in the porcupine temperament, tuned to 22 equal instead of 12 equal. Porcupine is the rank two ("linear") temperament which tempers out the porcupine comma, 250/243, instead of the 81/80 of meantone, and which divides the fourth into three equal parts, which define the generator. This can be tuned to three steps of 22 equal, which is what we've done here.
Topics: microtonal, microtonal music, xenharmonic, Mussorgsky
Pacem
by J S Bach and Gene Ward Smith
Three twelve-note Fokker blocks can be constructed from 125/108 and 135/128, which give a scale which can be ordered according to the resulting val, which is <12 19 27|. Below I have tuned the radiant Dona Nobis Pacem from Bach's Mass in b minor to one of these scales and orderings: 10/9 9/8 5/4 6/5 4/3 25/16 3/2 5/3 8/5 15/8 25/12 2. It comes out sounding very different!

The Nevis Island Youth Council- GET ON BOARD!
Posted on March 17, 2016 in General News
Charlestown, Nevis (March 117th 2016):- The voice of our youth, a group of young people lobbying on behalf of and representing the interests of the young people on the island of Nevis. The Nevis Youth Council is rebranding as the Nevis Island Youth Council (NIYC) and is relaunching with renewed vigor and creating a more expansive framework within which to operate. The operation of the NIYC is on its way to full incorporation in our communities in the very near future.
A 10 member team comprising of the following members:
Camara C. Lee (chairperson);
Vijay Harrinarain ( liaison- dept. Of youth and sports);
Tameka Vyphius- (executive member of former Nevis Youth Council);
Latoya Jones;
Michelle Slack;
Camara Lee
Verna Grant;
Alan Powell;
Neila Jones;
Joy Napier; and
Raynaldon Bartlette,
and who together are known as the steering committee was put in place in October, 2015 by the Department of Youth and Sports, to assess and revive the Nevis Youth council and its operations.
Upon commencement, the Committee realized that the existing constitution of the Nevis Youth Council presented limitations to the membership of the Council and restricted the involvement of persons who are not members of existing youth groups. Further, the constitution was drafted in 1987 and was in many respects out of sync with the 2016 status quo. In light of that, the Steering Committee took a decision to draft a new constitution which would be forward looking, maintaining the objectives and ideals which are consistent with our all encompassing mandate of youth representation, widening the scope of the Council and rebranding to attract the quintessential Nevisian Youth.
The NIYC intends to, among other things –
1. advocate on behalf of our Island's youth;
2. provide opportunities for physical, social, intellectual, and economic development;
3. liaise with the government and other interest groups to secure all such advantages and benefits available to our youths; and
4. contribute to our nation's growth and sustainable development.
In the next few months, the NIYC intends to be front and center partnering with the Department of youth and sports in the youth month activities in April, while at the same time commencing its recruitment campaign.
The steering committee encourages all persons living on the island of Nevis and between the ages of 16 and 35 (inclusive) to GET ON BOARD with NIYC- where your interests and ours coincide. We may be contacted via Facebook at Nevis Island Youth Council/ email at nevisyouthcouncil@gmail.com/ by contacting any member of the Steering Committee for further details on becoming a member. Registration forms are now available at the Department of Youth and Sports.
The steering Committee says thank you to the Department of Youth and Sports, the Caribbean Regional Youth Council and other local and regional entities for their support and welcomes all to GET ON BOARD with NIYC.

Lighten Up, It's Summer! F
Fire Island Pines, 2008
The renters recline in their lounge chairs around the pool. The heat's a little much. No wind shifts the leaves on the trees, and who could blame anyone for staying in one place all day? Hours must be filled, magazines flipped through and dropped. Someone says ass, which brings on some laughs. Someone says Britney, which brings on some more. Though none of the laughter suggests the jokes are very funny, not that they're supposed to be. The vodka gets stronger in the glasses. The blue of the pool should shut up. The silence in the woods asks something of them. That something might hurt, which is why the pool speakers kick on, not just a little loud, but loud enough to shake the minds of the people in the house next door, to let everyone know they're here and have each other. It's not music than anyone likes—that would be missing the point. Songs aren't meant to be remembered late at night when you're trying to fall asleep because, let's face it, time's an illusion that's meant to be conquered. Someone says, Lindsay Lohan. Laughter vibrates in six sets of vocal chords, in unison. If it were up to me, I'd kill every animal on this island! And they go on like this and on like this. All in a day's work, really, for it takes great energy and patience to drain yourself of feeling, to nod and blink exactly to your neighbor's rhythm.
A little past noon, a rustling inside the woods. A creature stands inside the clearing, hoof tapping the ground like some polished black boot. Phantom? Beast? No, deer-but not like the deer grazing the sides of the road. Hairy, thick through the ribs, he leaps over the bubbling hot tub, legs practically flying over their faces until he lands on the deck with a crack. Someone shrieks. They laugh, because they're afraid not to laugh. All that motion! That tail! Why them? Then he looks at their bare feet with a snort, turning his neck to the left before he's off again, out and away, nothing left of his presence but the faintest scent of barnyard and leaves. The now is what they're after. The now tries very hard to hold on to what it has without breaking. The now concentrates like a bead of rainwater, poised on the edge of a fig leaf, focusing itself so it won't fall into the pool.
Number 1 turns to Number 2: "Doesn't Kant say the mind requires space and time in order to perceive?"
"Huh?" they all say at once.
"Listen," he says. 'What may be the nature of objects considered as things in themselves and without reference to the receptivity of our sensibility is quite unknown to us.'"
All five stare at Number 1 as if he's wearing last year's swimsuit. Inside out, no less.
"Lighten up," says Number 2.
"Yeah, right," says Number 3, turning over on his side. "It's summer."
The sun refuses movement. The heat's a little much. They go on like this and on like this. Boys of shadow, boys of noon: who's the one who told you the self's just one more thing to lose?
The Queen of It
Bathroom: once a day, whether they had to go or not.
What else could we have expected of a teacher who stood in front of the class, reaching into the waste can as if it were a magic hat? A paper plane with a crooked nose. A math assignment with a flying squirrel sketched in the margins. Two bright green stalks on a page torn from a spiral-bound notebook. Waste of good paper! she'd cry. See what I have to do when I could be teaching you? And the children looked to the thin window in the door with terror and a twinge of excitement as the principal passed them by.
My brother wasn't shy. Didn't he hide inside the cloakroom while Mrs. Jovanovic squatted beneath his desk, crying, Where is he? Where is he? But he wasn't one to call attention to himself, so he came up with a plan. If he peed, just a single drop at a time, in his chair, over the course of an afternoon, he could outsmart any of them. The wood wouldn't know. His pants wouldn't know. The children to the left and right of him—even the humming lights over his head wouldn't know. He'd be dry as bread before he had to stand up again. And Mrs. Jovanovic? Well, let her think she knew a thing or two. I don't have to tell you that my brother lost his cover one day. His name in the air, Mrs. Jovanovic summoning him up to the blackboard, and what was that down there? Eyes fixed forward, he walked ahead, shutting his ears to the sounds of the heater. He picked up the chalk, added the figures, three plus seven, correctly. He stood there a second. He put down the chalk. And went back to his chair with such calm that no one even noticed the soaked spot on the front of his pants, not even Mrs. Jovanovic, who blinked some, her head down, before she lifted her face and called for another. At the same time, two classrooms away, Lily Cronin sat in her beanie and swamped skirt, taking a bite out of an American cheese sandwich. She chewed much longer than necessary. She regarded us mildly, from her perch at the back of the room, as we filed past her on the way to recess, as if we were there to honor her. I couldn't take my eyes off her cool white skin, her tartan scarf, the eraser-colored spots around the sides of her nose, maybe because she couldn't stop looking at us. She didn't seem to worry that her mother was probably taking the long, pretty way to school, beneath the elms, past the creek where the water smelled rotten, like food. She didn't seem to worry about what we'd say on the playground outside. Lily had her sandwich, after all, which lasted all day in her hand. And the children, of course, who were nothing more than the moving figures of her attention.
She knew she'd changed everything in that room. It was hers now. She was the queen of it, and more.
My brother? He disappeared, a little at a time, until all that was left was a sweater, a nest of fuzz and hair and threads. We gave them everything they asked for. We were good that way.

Textual Analysis of Music Video
Die Another Day: Madonna Music Video The product carries no institutional or other identification, but the music appearance of Madonna present it as a 3 1/2 minute music video promoting the single Die Another Day. This text is intrinsically inter-textual: it is the theme to the James Bond feature film of the same name.
Movie audiences will see a completely different set of images set to the same music at the start of the film. Knowingly, the video presents Madonna in the role which Bond inhabits during the film's opening titles: that of the spy being interrogated and tortured by an oppressive regime.
The harsh single bulb in the familiar interrogators' angle-poise lamp parodies the more flattering spotlight Madonna would normally expect to stand in. As is common to many music videos, a narrative of sorts is presented: Madonna has been captured and is being tortured for information. Her internal battle over whether or not to tell them what they want to know is represented by a fencing match between 'two' Madonnas – one in white, one in black on a blood-red catwalk – and this is inter-cut with the supposed real world of Madonna's incarceration. The colours suggest this is a fight between good and evil.
Wounds on both fencers – both sides of her internal conflict – are manifested physically on Madonna's body, connotating a powerful battle. At one point we observe the fencers within a broken mirror in her cell, seeming to represent the manifestation of a fractured personality. The lyrics also allude to this, as she sings: "Sigmund Freud – analyse this. " The narrative is more complex than the song lyrics and is packed with binary oppositions. The black and white fencers are polar opposites; their (initially) graceful swordplay contrasts with the spy's brutal treatment.
The sole, beautiful woman is detained by a group of ugly men; she is from the West while her captors are from the East (as in the feature film). Throughout the video Madonna is defiant: as well as fighting her captors, her face and body express determination and control. The lyrics proclaim that she will keep her secret and yet die another day. As she is strapped into the electric chair, she laughs and spits in the face of her enemy. The video simultaneously plays with its two genres (Bond films and music video) and subverts them.
Madonna, famous for her glamour and tight control of her image here allows herself to be presented bruised and bloody, in a grim, dark cell.
The film stock appears to have been desaturated to be almost monochromatic, suggesting hopelessness. This narrative also abandons the typical 'Bond Girl' damsel-in-distress approach, and re-casts the woman (not girl) as the hero. The mise-en-scene is atypical of both Bond films and certainly music videos. Unusually the video references the new film's plot without including any footage from it.
The fencers battle in two settings: the first, a white echo of the set from the feature film in which Bond and his nemesis do battle; the second a black-walled museum, peppered with specific iconography (the Gold-painted girl, Odd Job's hat) from early Bond films.
The two fencers destroy the museum in their battle. This could be said to both celebrate and knock the early Bond films which were popular yet misogynistic. It could also be read as Madonna breaking the Bond mould: she is no Shirley Bassey. The stabbing of a portrait of Pierce Brosnan, the current Bond in this music video, suggests a level of ambivalence towards the project.
The song itself is sparsely arranged: a fusion of forceful dance/techno conventions in a minor key with the (synthesized) strings characteristic of a James Bond score overlaid.
More conventionally, Madonna addresses us, the audience, through most of the video, miming to the lyrics, breaking the fourth wall. She also dances aggressively and provocatively, and while this is to be expected in a music video, it is slightly at odds with the violent setting. Identifying the audience for this text is surprisingly challenging.
Madonna's audience has aged and matured as she has, and her record sales suggest she is less appeling to today's teenagers. The video's purpose is to promote both the single and the feature film.
More subtly, it is to promte Madonna's role in the film: she plays the fencing instructor (another layer of inter-textuality). However, its violence and blood may not have sat well on Saturday morning children's television (a prime broadcast slot for music videos) and this may have affected its reach. The video is too unconventional to be targeted at young teenagers and children; it is more likely pitched at an older audience, say 20-35 year-olds.
Neither the song nor the video seem calculated to appeal to traditional Bond fans, many older people being disappointed by the theme. The ending presents the white fencer defeating the black.
Her body falls to the floor as the executioner trips the power. The intended reading is ambiguous: is Madonna dead? The white fencer of her hallucination still stands. As the smoke clears an empty chair is revealed, leaving us with several enigma codes: how does Madonna evade electrocution; who is the man seen sitting, momentarily, in her place; and what does the Arabic-style tattoo left behind on the chair mean?
