REFORM Party leader Richard Tice revealed a joint campaign on Monday to highlight political banking censorship.
Richard Tice, the leader of Reform UK exposed shocking details of alleged British banking blocks to right-wing political parties after a Reform Party bank account was closed.
The leader of Reform UK said he will write to the governor of the Bank of England to ask it to provide banking services to parties that cannot secure them elsewhere, after Metro Bank said it will close his party's account.
Tice, who leads the former Brexit Party, relaunched in January as Reform UK, said Metro Bank's decision to close the party's account was "unprecedented" and the result of "political pressure".
He said he hopes another bank steps forward to provide banking services to the party, but that he is also going to make a request to the Bank of England.
Metro Bank said it regularly closes accounts "which are no longer commercially viable", and said the decision to close the party's account was taken for "commercial reasons", adding that the bank is "politically neutral".
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Mr Tice said: "This is not in the ordinary course of business.
"This is not because they considered that it was not commercially viable.
"This is extraordinary, this is unprecedented, and it is without question in my mind, the result of political pressure.
"Someone, somewhere, somehow, has applied pressure.
"There is no other explanation that I can think of."
He said he had no proof of political interference, but said "I just know, from my experience being involved in so many banking arrangements over such a long period of time, this doesn't happen, this is not normal".
"Is it a coincidence that Reform UK is the only political party that is challenging this Government to give all our freedoms back after the pandemic, the only political party that is challenging this Government on its authoritarian plan to have vaccine passports, the only political party that is challenging this Government on its plans to vaccinate children?" he said.
But when challenged to say what he believes has happened, he said was not sure if it would be someone from a political party, but said: "Someone, somewhere, has had a word.
"I don't know who it is."
He argued that new parties are needed for democracy to thrive, and said his party intends to stand more than 500 candidates at the next general election.
He said "we need these challenger parties, but if we can't have clearing bank facilities, we can't pay bills, and therefore we can't stand candidates at the next general election".
Asking people to imagine the scenario when the bank took its decision, he likened the party to a new start-up, and said "things for everybody get a lot quieter" through the pandemic, but said that the party has "big plans", and claimed the bank would know that "millions of pounds will continue to come in and out of the account".
He said: "We need to have clearing bank facilities, and whilst I hope the phone will ring (from another bank), I'm also going to take the unprecedented step today, I'm going to write to the governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, and ask that the Bank of England itself provides clearing bank facilities for political parties who are unable to secure clearing bank facilities with any of the mainstream banks, for whatever reason they have decided not to provide them, because we need that in order for democracy to continue to thrive and flourish in our country."
The party said it was notified in late July that its account with Metro Bank would be closed in 60 days.
A Metro Bank spokesperson said: "We regularly review our customer accounts and close those which are no longer commercially viable.
"The decision to close the Brexit Party account was made for commercial reasons only as a business as usual decision.
"Metro Bank is and will remain politically neutral."

This was my final composition for under-graduate degree. The title "Chaos" came from one of the concepts and from the mental situtation I was in while composing this piece.
Second concept was to use the logistic equation of chaos as a pitch of notes. This method produced quite a complex movement of notes with just a single equation.


In SharePoint 2010, the calendar views are rendered via a script on the client side. This is a significant improvement over the heavy calendars of the previous versions (2003 and 2007), and in the 2013 version client side rendering has been extended to all list views.
Unfortunately, the SP 2010 calendar also came with a bug that I reported a couple years ago. It is made of two layers – one for the grid and one for the events – and when the calendar gets resized the two layers get out of sync. Really annoying! As far as I know, Microsoft has never fixed this. I keep receiving reports of this bug from users, especially as it occurs when calendar views are combined with the Easy Tabs.
If you have to deal with this annoying behavior, here is a simple workaround: go to the Web Part settings and give the Web Part a fixed width.
I am having the following issue in SharePoint 2010: when I set the chrome state of a calendar to "minimized" (under Edit Web Part > Appearance), the calendar still gets displayed on the page.
This is an issue I already reported with the beta version. Recently, I also posted my question on the MSDN forum, but got no answer.
The ability to minimize Web Parts is key when building dynamic interfaces. Currently this is a road block for some of my customizations, like the Easy Tabs or expand/collapse buttons.
It is not the only issue I am seeing with calendars, I also experienced some weird behaviors when resizing the browser window.
So, is it just me? I'd love to hear your feedback on this!
This week, Mark Miller and I will be hosting our live online workshop series dedicated to calendars. Mark will start on Tuesday ("Create a SharePoint Master Calendar Solution"), and I'll join him on Wednesday ("Add Color Coding and Tool Tips to Your SharePoint Calendars") and Thursday ("SharePoint Calendar Resizing and Enhanced Views").
All these solutions work on wss v3 and MOSS, and don't require any server side installation.
Environment: SharePoint 2007 – wss or MOSS (no SharePoint Designer or third party application required).
Audience: confirmed end user, power user.
To follow this tutorial, you need a calendar created in SharePoint 2007 (wss or MOSS).
I have created a choice column, called "Category", to store these choices. Note that for this tutorial seven is the maximum number of choices. If your choice column has more options, only the first seven will be color coded.
A choice column is the natural option to organize items in categories. You can also use any column type that contains text or numbers, like content type, text column, calculated column. Note that columns of type Lookup will not work for this tutorial.
If your choice list includes more than seven choices, this follow up article will show you how to proceed.
Note: the semi-transparent background will not be rendered in older browsers (like IE 6).
After selecting your options, scroll down to the bottom of the form. You'll see two formulas (pale-green text areas). Leave this page open or save your two formulas, we'll use them in the next step.
Note: you can choose to group the two formulas into one by unchecking the "Separate Color Column" checkbox.
– click on the Download tab.
– right-click on the last file name TextToHTMLlite-v2.1.1.txt, and select "save target as…" to save it to your computer.
– upload the file to a SharePoint library in your site or site collection. The location doesn't matter, as long as your users have read access to the file.
Note! the download section displays 4 files; pick the last one for this tutorial.
– First column, named "Color": paste the first formula.
– Second column: named "Display": paste the second formula.
Staying on the settings page, under Views, click on your calendar view. In the settings page, choose to display the "Display" column. Save your changes.
Don't worry, we are going to fix this in step 4.
– under content link, paste the URL of your TextToHTMLlite-v2.1.1.txt file (remember, you stored it in a document library in step 1).
If you now exit the edit mode, you should see your calendar in color.
– go to the view settings page and replace Display with Title as the displayed column.
– delete the two calculated columns.
In SharePoint 2010, the script from step 4 will not work because calendars are rendered asynchronously. Alternate options can be found in this post.
The article also mentions a resizing issue, which AFAIK is linked to the default calendar, not to color coding.
Check out Brendan's article for more information!
Today I decided to test my color coding tool on Mark Miller's excellent SharePoint Community Calendar. I borrowed a slice (the month of May) and applied my formulas: you can compare the original calendar with my color coded version.
In the beginning of next week, I'll publish an updated version of the tool, and a step by step tutorial.
Note that the semi-transparent background effect will not work in older browsers, like Internet Explorer 6.
Quick tip: in SharePoint, each list comes with a RSS feed. If you want to be notified of new events, you can subscribe to the Community Calendar's RSS feed. Big thanks to Mark Miller and Natasha Felshman for maintaining such a useful resource!

Mme Sophie Williams De Bruyn and all veterans of our struggle for liberation,
Comrades and friends
Fellow Africans,
Dumelang, sanibonani, molweni.
Only two months ago, we were here at Bokone Bophirima Province, and laid to rest the mortal remains of our stalwarts and icons of the liberation struggle, Comrade JB Marks and Comrade Moses Kotane.
We have gathered here today again, sadly to pay our last respects to yet another icon of our struggle and a distinguished South African and patriot, Mme Ruth Segomotsi Mompati.
Indeed, this province has produced outstanding leaders who make us truly proud to be South Africans and to be Africans.
We are gathered not only to mourn, but to celebrate her life which was totally dedicated to the struggle for freedom, justice, equality and the quest for a better life for all especially the poor.
When people talk about Mme Ruth they are filled with joy and inspiration. That is because this proud African and progressive internationalist brought hope and progress in our lives and in our country.
Fellow mourners and fellow Africans and friends,
Today, just two days before Africa Day, we celebrate our African identity, and our pride at having produced such a selfless, committed, dedicated and much loved revolutionary and freedom fighter, as the African people in the African continent.
We testify without any fear of contradiction, that here lies a towering giant in the struggle for the freedom and democracy that we enjoy today, which came about through the blood, sweat and tears of thousands of our people, as well as many freedom loving people within Africa and the world.
Here lies an outstanding leader with an exemplary life which is an embodiment of the principles and values of the liberation movement.
She lived these values of unity, selflessness, sacrifice, collective leadership, humility, honesty, discipline, hard work and mutual respect.
And here lies a leader who was totally committed to the vision of creating a truly united, non racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous South Africa.
Mama Ruth, we salute you.
You succeeded and made your mark in every task you were given by the liberation movement. And you never allowed obstacles to stand in your way.
Born in the rural village of Ganyesa here in Vryburg, Mme Ruth qualified as a teacher.
Her first major frustration with the apartheid system was when she was barred from teaching simply because the then government did not allow married black female teachers to teach.
Lest we forget, that is where we come from! Our country used to be a place where women were treated as subordinates who could not function outside of the supervision of men. This experience made Mme Ruth dedicate her life to fighting for the emancipation of women and for women's rights to become recognised as human rights.
Due to the frustrations with the teaching profession, Mme Ruth moved to Johannesburg during the important year in the African National Congress (ANC) calendar, the year 1952, the year of the beginning of the Defiance Campaign.
She joined the ANC Orlando Branch and also joined the law firm of our leaders and symbols of selfless struggle, Presidents Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo, as a secretary.
This responsibility she discharged impeccably and with relative ease.
The few years that followed saw the Congress of the People in Kliptown which adopted the Freedom Charter, the Women's march to the Union Buildings and of course, the beginning of discussions and processes which led to the formation of uMkhonto weSizwe (MK).
While working at the firm, she became involved in a variety of campaigns which led to her becoming a member of the National Executive Committee of the ANC's Women's League.
Mme Ruth, together with Helen Joseph and Lillian Ngoyi, were also the founding members of the Federation of South African Women.
Her involvement in these structures was because she understood that the might of oppression weighs heavily particularly on women.
In 1956 Mme Ruth became very central in the organisation of what would become an enduring landmark in the history of our country, and that is the August 1956 march which was attended by over twenty thousand women of all races to demonstrate their disdain for the pass law.
Mama Sophie Williams De Bruyn was among those brave women who refused to stand by while their right to equal citizenship was being denied by a cruel and vicious regime.
Mme Ruth became one of the first women to flee the country to join uMkhonto weSizwe in exile. She underwent her military training in the Soviet Union in 1963.
In that vein, here lies a soldier in the true sense of the word, a soldier in the battle against tyranny and a soldier for peace and freedom.
After the banning of the ANC, Mme Ruth played a very critical role in the re-establishment of the organisation in the country and also in international mobilisation.
We recall a significant intervention she made in August 1992, in her address to the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid during the special day of International Solidarity with Women in South Africa. She cautioned the international community not to be blinded by the euphoria of the unbanning of organisations and the release of Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners.
She told the world that the apartheid regime was continuing its reign of terror through state sponsored violence in the townships and that freedom had not yet dawned in South Africa.
It was a significant intervention as that was the year of the Boipatong massacre and several other state sponsored violent incidents that were designed to derail our march to freedom and democracy.
During the post democratic dispensation, she continued playing various roles in the advancement of our agenda of transforming the quality of life.
She also continued to promote unity and solidarity. On her election as Mayor of Naledi Municipality she used her position to unite what was once a divided society along racial lines into a united society committed to a common vision.
As an ambassador representing her country abroad, she established relations for South Africa which remain strong to this day, such as during her posting to Switzerland. She had also established strong relations for the ANC and South Africa during her tenure as a chief representative of the ANC abroad during her period in exile.
Even in retirement, many years later Mme Ruth was involved in various community projects aimed at the upliftment of our people.
It is this life that knows no rest and peace that led to the ANC in 2014 to bestow its highest honour of Isithwalandwe/Seaparankoe on Mme Ruth Mompati.
This honour is reserved for the bravest warriors and those who distinguished themselves and who possess exceptional qualities of leadership and heroism.
Government has also honoured her in various ways. The Department of International Relations and Cooperation bestowed on her the Lifetime Achievement award in the inaugural Ubuntu Awards in February this year.
This province named the Ruth Mompati District municipality after her and also constructed a bust in her honour.
The North West University awarded Mama Ruth an Honorary Master's Degree in Education in 1996. The then Medical University of South Africa (now called Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University) also awarded her an Honorary Doctorate.
These are just a few accolades that demonstrate what an outstanding leader we have been fortunate enough to live and work with. The importance of all these accolades is that they were bestowed on her while she was still alive. She was able to appreciate how highly her people regarded her, during her lifetime.
The greatest honour we can bestow on Mme Ruth is for us to draw lessons from her life that will make us better human beings.
This means that we should revive and promote in ourselves and in our communities the supreme ideals that she held dear. We should promote unity, respect for one another, patriotism, non-racialism, tolerance and equality for men and women.
I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family, relatives, the organisation she loved with all her heart, the ANC and Alliance partners.
Allow me also to extend deepest condolences to the family on behalf of former President Mbeki.
He has asked me to convey to the family that circumstances beyond his control have prevented him from bidding farewell in person, to this outstanding leader that he has worked with for many decades.
He wishes the family strength during this difficult period.
We salute our mother, our leader, our teacher, a gallant fighter, a brave warrior, a true patriot and an outstanding South African and African.
Rest in peace Mama Ruth. You have fought a good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7)

Britain's "Robust Arms Export Control Regime." UK Munitions Sales to Saudi Arabia, Bombing Yemen, Crimes against Humanity….
Britain's "Robust Arms Export Control Regime." UK Munitions Sales to Saudi Arabia, Bombing Yemen, Crimes against Humanity…. 5.5555555555556 out of 5 based on 9 ratings. 9 user reviews.
As Prime Minister David Cameron attempts to persuade Parliament to back another illegal assault on a country posing no threat to the UK, Syria, it transpires that Britain may anyway face war crimes charges for arms sales to Saudi Arabia, arms being used to decimate civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen.
Given that the population of Yemen is just over twenty four million, the figures demonstrate that almost the entire population is experiencing unimaginable devastation in an onslaught on which the governments of "international community" has simply turned it's back – except those bombing with US and UK supplied missiles.
… there is concern within the Foreign and Commonwealth Office that the Saudi military's attitude to humanitarian law is careless. Officials fear that the combination of British arms sales and technical expertise used to assist bombing raids on Yemen could result in the UK being hauled before the International Criminal Court on charges relating to direct attacks on civilians.
"Pot calling kettle back" comes to mind. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office and British government's attitude to humanitarian law has been arguably been beyond criminally "careless" in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and they now aim to attack Syria in retaliation for an action in France, committed by French and Belgian born terrorists of North African descent, some of whom had been equally terrorizing in Syria and then allowed to return home, seemingly untroubled by law enforcement agencies – as their British counterparts.
Last July a transfer of Paveway IV missiles was authorized from the (Royal Air Force) to Saudi, boosting the order book of arms manufacturer Raytheon UK.
The near £200 million contract: " secured the supply of hundreds of the air-launched missiles to the Saudi air force over the next two years." The Raytheon bombs will be dropped on Yemen by Typhoon and Tornado fighter jets, supplied by Britain's BAE Systems.
Away from Foreign Secretary Hammond it seems there are deep concerns in parts of the Foreign Office, which are being compared to the crisis over legality during the period before the invasion of Iraq which led to the resignation of senior legal advisor Elizabeth Wilmshurs, concerned at the legality of such action.
(Her Majesty's Government) takes its arms export responsibilities very seriously and operates one of the most robust arms export control regimes in the world. We rigorously examine every application on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. Risks around human rights abuses are a key part of our assessment.
Given also the filing cabinets stuffed also with cases of alleged British human rights abuses in Iraq and Afghanistan in lawyers' offices in the UK such as Birmingham's Public Interest Lawyers and London's Leigh Day, the latter comment defies derision.
"The UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond claims he favours 'proper investigations' into possible breaches of the laws of war in Yemen. This strike provides a perfect test case – the UK should urgently press the Saudi Arabia-led coalition to open a credible investigation into this strike, as well as others that appear to have violated the laws of war," said Lama Fakih, Senior Crisis Advisor at Amnesty International.
"The latest revelations show UK policy to be both misleading and seriously ineffective. Despite multiple, well-documented cases of violations of the laws of war by the Gulf coalition in Yemen, UK Ministers have consistently refused to acknowledge this. The UK should suspend further sales of aerial munitions to coalition members pending a thorough investigation into this case, and other apparently unlawful air strikes," said David Mepham, UK Director at Human Rights Watch.
Marconi markings are clearly visible on a component part recovered from the Sana'a strike site. Stocks of this missile are in service with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Air Force, which has the capability to fire them from both Mirage 2000s and F-16F aircraft.
Ali Ahmad al-Faqih, 55, who was injured in the attack, said that he had been on a motorbike trying to check on his family who live next to the factory during a brief lull between airstrikes – not realizing the attack had not finished: "I heard a whizz and knew it was a rocket coming," he said. "I lay down and prayed out loud. I saw all my body covered in blood." He underwent surgery to remove shrapnel from his chest.
A fourteen year old girl, Elham Hussein Hussein Taher, was also injured in the attack, according to locals.
No evidence of any military usage of the factory was evident or found. The factory, opened in 1994, was the only one of it's kind in the country, employing around 330 people. It had already suffered one tragedy, having had to suspend operations in April, due to security fears from bombing for the employees – and difficulty in obtaining fuel for the machines. Now it lies mostly in ruins.
"Such attacks are serious violations of International Humanitarian Law and … can constitute war crimes", states the Amnesty Report.
An independent international inquiry should be established to investigate alleged violations by all parties to the conflict in Yemen, establish the facts, and identify those responsible for violations with a view to ensuring that they are held accountable.
As Prime Minister Cameron contemplates committing more war crimes in Syria, he might perhaps ponder on those he may already have on his plate and reconsider.

The Tower is a 2D-side-scroller and metroidvanian game which is designed for the WiiU as a local two player co-op experience. It makes use of the WiiU-Gamepad as a second screen for the second character which is Lou the  light entity who can fly around. In order to bind her to Riley she cannot fly in an unlimited distance.
The project was developed from October 2016 to February 2017by a group of four students. Each student had a separate field of contribution.
For the topic of the third semester "Games for Kids" we first planned to do a point-and-click adventure but used our concept phase to come up with another idea. In The Tower the main goal for us was to make the players to cooperate. Riley (red character) plans to visit her friend Lou (yellow character) in a hospital. Even though Riley thinks she is about to rescue Lou, the adventure is about the feelings she suppressed when Lou got ill. During the complications in the tower she has to confront these feelings metaphorically as monsters.
In order to let the players cooperate, the enemies where designed to be a threat to both characters. The "Hopfer" is a small enemy and cannot be hit by Lou without any effort. The "Zapp", however, can fly and therefore presents a much harder threat for Riley who mostly stays on the ground.
At the end of the first area the players encounter the "Flowerbird" – an enemy which dashes forward when it makes visual contact with a player. This enemy is supposed to be distracted by one player and attacked by the other.
The Tower was intended as WiiU game which helped me a lot to understand constraints on console games and therefore the advantages and disadvantages of console gaming. Furthermore, I was able to use newly acquired shader knowledge for interactive 2D shaders such as grass and web movement.

When you think about pallets, you probably think about them being made out of wood. However, some companies are switching over to plastic pallets. If you have not yet thought about switching to plastic pallets for transporting and storing your stock, consider these benefits of plastic pallets vs. those that are made out of wood. Once you do, you might find that there are multiple reasons why plastic pallets might be a better choice for your company.
One of the problems with wooden pallets is the fact that they are difficult -- if not impossible -- to thoroughly clean, due to their absorbent nature. Basically, liquids can penetrate the wood and be impossible to remove. Depending on what might spill on the pallets, this can be quite unsanitary. It can even be a safety hazard if flammable liquids or harsh chemicals are spilled on your wooden pallets. However, plastic pallets can actually be dried off and wiped down with an all-purpose cleaning solution or a mixture of bleach and water. If spills are a concern -- such as if you store liquid products in your warehouse -- then this is definitely something to think about when choosing your pallets.
Rodents and other pests can be attracted to wooden pallets and can chew through them. Plastic, however, simply isn't as appealing for many pests. To help avoid encouraging an infestation, and to avoid dealing with permanent chewing-related damage to your pallets, consider opting for plastic. In a warehouse setting -- which can be appealing to pests already -- this is an important thing to consider.
Wooden pallets only last for so long. If they get wet, they can begin to rot. They can splinter and break more easily than plastic pallets as well. Even though you might find that the pricing on wooden pallets is a bit more affordable than the pricing on plastic pallets, you should not have to replace your pallets as often. Plastic pallets can be used over and over again, which can make them a much more affordable choice. Plus, even though the pallets are made of plastic, they can actually cause less waste.
Even though you might have traditionally always used wooden pallets for material handling, it's a good idea to at least consider using plastic pallets. Contact a material handling equipment company for more information.

Pewnego dnia do firmy zostaje przysłana Hoshino Tsukiyama, której zadaniem jest postawić Studio G3 na nogi. Jej biznesowa natura stoi w zasadniczej sprzeczności z marzycielskim usposobieniem Taiyō.

Bohaterowie
 Taiyō Tenkawa: 33-letni twórca gier video o trudnym charakterze. Jest geekiem, który na pierwszym miejscu stawia sobie tworzenie gier, a dopiero na drugim – zarabianie na nich pieniędzy. Swój zawód traktuje bardziej jako hobby niż pracę. W wolnym czasie skleja modele Gundamów.
 Tsukiyama Hoshino: 28-letnia bizneswoman, pnąca się po szczeblach kariery w korporacji, na skutek intryg osób zazdrosnych o jej zdolności zostaje zesłana do Studia G3. Pochodzi z prefektury Akita i zdarza jej się mówić w tamtejszym dialekcie. Jej jedyne hobby to oglądanie anime, jednak starannie to ukrywa.
 Nanami Tanizaki: 35-letnia panna, główny grafik Studia G3 i wieloletnia współpracowniczka Taiyō. Wierzy w jego talent, ale potrafi panować nad jego przesadnym perfekcjonizmem. Darzy go sympatią, ale raczej to ukrywa. Zanim podjęła pracę nad grami video, była projektantką wnętrz.

Manga
Manga Tokyo Toy Box ukazała się w Japonii w 2005 i drukowana była początkowo na łamach należącego do wydawnictwa Kōdansha magazynu Morning. W 2006 roku ukazało się wydanie tomikowe.

Bryson Morgan Comments on Recent Congressional Ethics Cases in New York Times
December 28, 2021, New York Times
WASHINGTON — As House ethics investigators were examining four cases this fall detailing a sweeping array of improper financial conduct by lawmakers, they ran into an obstacle: Two of the lawmakers under scrutiny refused to meet with them or provide documents.
"There's a trend towards not taking ethics rules seriously and also more resistance to cooperating in ethics investigations or, frankly, even acknowledging the legitimacy or authority of ethics investigation," said Bryson B. Morgan, a lawyer at the firm Caplin & Drysdale in Washington, who was previously an investigative counsel for the Office of Congressional Ethics. "I think there's been a bit of a backsliding on ethics."
Mr. Morgan said he believed ethical norms changed during the Trump era. As allegations piled up against President Donald J. Trump with no apparent consequences, many politicians concluded that ethical behavior no longer mattered and decided to stop cooperating with congressional investigations, he said.
"What people used to think was a career-ending mistake has been proven to not be a career-ending mistake," Mr. Morgan said. "Many people have noticed a shift in ethical norms. It used to be the case that when a member violated the ethics rules, if not a fine, there would be a fairly stiff political price to pay. I worry that has gone away."

Boy who plunged from mall balcony showing "signs of recovery"
A 5-year-old boy who authorities say was thrown from a third-floor balcony at Mall of America is showing "real signs of recovery," a lawyer for boy's family told CBS Minnesota on Friday. Police said the suspect, Emmanuel Aranda, told them he went to the mall "looking for someone to kill" and chose the boy at random.
"We have good news to share with you on this Good Friday. Our miracle child is showing real signs of recovery. New test results have been positive, though he remains in intensive care with a long road ahead," attorney Stephen Tillitt said Friday on behalf of the boy's family.
Surveillance video at the mall shows Aranda walking in the mall on the third floor, looking over the balcony several times, before approaching the victim and his mother, CBS Minnesota reports. The mother of the boy told authorities Aranda approached them and, without warning, picked the boy up and threw him over the side of the balcony.
The child plunged almost 40 feet, suffering massive head trauma and broken arms and legs, according to CBS Minnesota.
Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda, charged with attempted homicide of a 5-year-old boy thrown or pushed from a third-floor balcony at Minnesota's Mall of America, is seen in this photo released by police in Bloomington, Minnesota, U.S., on April 12, 2019.

Tillitt said Friday the family continues requesting privacy as they focus on their son and his recovery, but updates will be shared with the community.
"Just know that we absolutely feel your overwhelming love, prayers and support, for they seem to be working. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts," Tillitt said on behalf of the family.
A GoFundMe campaign set up for the family has raised more than $900,000 in six days, fast approaching the $1 million goal.
Aranda appeared behind a glass partition Tuesday in a courtroom at the Hennepin County jail. Asked by the judge whether he had any questions, he said, "Not at all."
Aranda remains in jail on $2 million bond.
According to a criminal complaint, Aranda told investigators after his arrest he was angry over being rejected by women he attempted to talk to at the mall, "and the rejection caused him to lash out and be aggressive."
Aranda has two past convictions for assaults at the mall, both in 2015, including one in which he threw a glass of water and glass of tea at a woman who refused to buy him something. Aranda at one point was banned from the mall.
Aranda was also charged in August of 2015 with destroying computers in a north Minneapolis library, the station reports. According to the criminal complaint, Aranda told officers that "he has some anger issues," and that, "it does not happen all the time."
Aranda was born in Chicago, where Cook County court documents showed a 2014 arrest for assaulting a woman who worked at a Golden Nugget restaurant.

Google and the Great Dark Fiber Wars
Robert Cringely:
This is the week I promised to explain where I think Google is headed, and playing to the company's strengths is key if they are going to do what I think, which is effectively take over the Internet. Oh they won't steal it or strong-arm us. They'll seduce us into giving it to them. And I am not at all sure that's a bad thing.
Google's strengths are searching, development of Open Source Internet services, and running clusters of tens of thousands of servers. Notice on this list there is nothing about operating systems. There are many rumors about Google doing an operating system to compete with Microsoft. I'm not saying they aren't doing that (I simply don't know), but I AM saying it would not be a good idea, because it doesn't play to any of the company's traditional strengths.
The same follows for the rumor that Google, as a dark fiber buyer, will turn itself into some kind of super ISP. Won't happen. And WHY it won't happen is because ISPs are lousy businesses and building one as anything more than an experiment (as they are doing in San Francisco with wireless) would only hurt Google's earnings.
So why buy-up all that fiber, then?
The probable answer lies in one of Google's underground parking garages in Mountain View. There, in a secret area off-limits even to regular GoogleFolk, is a shipping container. But it isn't just any shipping container. This shipping container is a prototype data center. Google hired a pair of very bright industrial designers to figure out how to cram the greatest number of CPUs, the most storage, memory and power support into a 20- or 40-foot box. We're talking about 5000 Opteron processors and 3.5 petabytes of disk storage that can be dropped-off overnight by a tractor-trailer rig. The idea is to plant one of these puppies anywhere Google owns access to fiber, basically turning the entire Internet into a giant processing and storage grid.
While Google could put these containers anywhere, it makes the most sense to place them at Internet peering points, of which there are about 300 worldwide.
Two years ago Google had one data center. Today they are reported to have 64. Two years from now, they will have 300-plus. The advantage to having so many data centers goes beyond simple redundancy and fault tolerance. They get Google closer to users, reducing latency. They offer inter-datacenter communication and load-balancing using that no-longer-dark fiber Google owns. But most especially, they offer super-high bandwidth connections at all peering ISPs at little or no incremental cost to Google.
Where some other outfit might put a router, Google is putting an entire data center, and the results are profound. Take Internet TV as an example. Replicating that Victoria's Secret lingerie show that took down Broadcast.com years ago would be a non-event for Google. The video feed would be multicast over the private fiber network to 300+ data centers, where it would be injected at gigabit speeds into each peering ISP. Viewers watching later would be reading from a locally cached copy. Yeah, but would it be Windows Media, Real, or QuickTime? It doesn't matter. To Google's local data center, bits are bits and the system is immune to protocols or codecs. For the first time, Internet TV will scale to the same level as broadcast and cable TV, yet still offer soemthing different for every viewer if they want it.
As for the coming AJAX Office and other productivity apps, they'll sit locally, too. Two or three hops away from every user, they'll also be completely backed-up by two to three data centers down the line. Your data never goes away unless you erase it. Your latency and system response are as low as they can possibly be made for a network app.
And remember the Google Web Accelerator that came and disappeared? It's back! Only this time the Web Accelerator will have the proper hardware and network infrastructure to make it worth using.
This is more than another Akamai or even an Akamai on steroids. This is a dynamically-driven, intelligent, thermonuclear Akamai with a dedicated back-channel and application-specific hardware.
There will be the Internet, and then there will be the Google Internet, superimposed on top. We'll use it without even knowing. The Google Internet will be faster, safer, and cheaper. With the advent of widespread GoogleBase (again a bit-schlepping app that can be used in a thousand ways — most of them not even envisioned by Google) there's suddenly a new kind of marketplace for data with everything a transaction in the most literal sense as Google takes over the role of trusted third-party info-escrow agent for all world business. That's the goal.
All this is based, of course, on Google's proven network and hardware expertise. Have you seen Google's Search Appliance? They ship you a 1U prebuilt server. You connect it to your network, fill out a simple configuration screen, and it scans and indexes your web site (or sites) for you. Google monitors and manages it remotely, and sucks up the data and adds it to theirs. You just plug the thing in and turn it on. It just works. You need do nothing else to keep it running. Google understands how to do this stuff. Microsoft definitely does not.
And there lies the differences between the two companies. Last week, I wrote about Windows Live and Office Live as Microsoft's best attempts at pretending to be Google. And Google will do those kinds of applications, too. But they'll build them atop a network infrastructure that Microsoft can't match.
But that doesn't mean Microsoft customers will be denied access to the Google Internet. Quite the contrary. Google would be insane to exclude Microsoft customers, which will be as welcome as any other. Only Google will be benefiting far more than Microsoft from that usage.
Google has the reach and the resources to make this work. There are only so many fiber networks and they'll be BUYING service from those outfits — many of which are in or near bankruptcy. Say the containers cost $500,000 each in volume and $500,000 per year to run. That's $300 million to essentially co-opt the Internet. And you know whose strategy this is? Wal-Mart's. And unless Google comes up with an ecosystem to allow their survival, that means all the other web services companies will be marginalized. There will be startups and little guys, but no medium-sized companies. ISPs, which we've thought of as a threatened species, won't be touched, but then their profit margins are so low they aren't worth touching. After all, Wal-Mart doesn't try to own the roads its goods are carried over. And the final result is that Web 2.0 IS Google.
Microsoft can't compete. Yahoo probably can't compete. Sun and IBM are like remora, along for the ride. And what does it all cost, maybe $1 billion? That's less than Microsoft spends on legal settlements each year.
And yet next week I'll take it one more step.

A new printable battery that can be produced cost-effectively on a large scale has been developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Reinhard Baumann of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz together with colleagues from TU Chemnitz and Menippos GmbH.
Like your t-shirt, the batteries are printed using a silk-screen method.
They are also different from conventional batteries in that these printable versions weigh less than one gram, are less than a millimeter thick and can even be integrated into bank cards.
The battery contains no mercury and is in this respect environmentally friendly. Its voltage is 1.5 V, which lies within the normal range. By placing several batteries in a row, voltages of 3 V, 4.5 V and 6 V can also be achieved. The new type of battery is composed of different layers: a zinc anode and a manganese cathode, among others. Zinc and manganese react with one another and produce electricity. However, the anode and the cathode layer dissipate gradually during this chemical process.
Therefore, the battery is suitable for applications which have a limited life span or a limited power requirement, for instance greeting cards.
"Our goal is to be able to mass produce the batteries at a price of single digit cent range each," states Dr. Andreas Willert, group manager at ENAS.
To make them, a kind of rubber lip presses the printing paste through a screen onto the substrate. A template covers the areas that are not to be printed on. Through this process it is possible to apply comparatively large quantities of printing paste, and the individual layers are slightly thicker than a hair. The researchers have already produced the batteries on a laboratory scale. At the end of this year, the first products could possibly be finished.

Q: Assign NSUInteger to UIButton enabled property not work in devices with 32 bit architecture Just come cross a strange bug in devices with 32 bit architecture,
below is the code:
- (void)textViewDidChange:(UITextView *)textView {
    self.button.enabled = textView.text.length;
}

So whenever I paste some text whose length is not 1 into the textView,
(this is to imitate the behaviour of a third-party keyboard Sogou), the button will not be enabled.
You can use this Demo to reproduce the bug.
I've read related posts, like Assigning NSUInteger to BOOL conceptual understanding, but this case is different.
Please tell me why it does not work here.

A: Don't think of it as a bug. Think of it as your code being wrong. This line is horrible:
self.button.enabled = textView.text.length;

You are trying to misuse a number as a BOOL. You are thus assuming that any non-zero number is the same as YES. That is a false assumption. Stop writing code like that. Write it like this:
self.button.enabled = (textView.text.length > 0);

That way, the BOOL really is a BOOL.

Julie Pitman grew up in Africa, constantly watching her father paint and local ebony carvers work. These first experiences in art lead her to be constantly changing and expanding her artistic interests. Julie followed up her studies in Italy and that was where she decided, "Leonardo da Vinci was one of my heroes and I felt it was important to learn technical art as well as fine art." So she took on the task to learn both but kept expanding, after spending time on technical art she went to collage. Then coming back to her interests, early experiences as a child she went to painting and stone sculpture. "I had seen Rome as a child and the stone sculptures really influenced my life. From age eight on, I sculpted faces in my sand pile almost every day. I feel that permanence is very important in art." Which landed her in sculpting, painting, and jewelry making. As Julie will tell you permanence in her artwork is her true passion and what she seeks with her work. Not only does she sculpt from stone but build from recycled materials to give them a new life.

0 Leading sports firm clocks up 50 years with Massey Ferguson
Massey Ferguson tractors have been the mainstay of W E Hewitt and Son's business since 1956 when the company purchased its first MF tractor - a diesel-engined FE 35 model.
Fifty years on - and more than 200 MF tractors later - the family-run firm's fleet of Massey Ferguson tractors stands at 21, a number that has remained virtually unchanged for the past 10 years thanks to consistently high demand for the sports ground construction, renovation and turf maintenance services provided by Hewitt Sportsturf.
Accounting for some 75 per cent of W E Hewitt and Son's annual turnover, Hewitt Sportsturf shares the company's headquarters at Cosby, near Leicester, with sister division, Petersfield Growing Mediums, one of the country's leading producers and suppliers of high quality commercial composts and growing mediums.
Well-known for the construction of many high-profile pitches in the UK and Ireland, including Arsenal's new Emirates Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane and Croke Park in Dublin, Hewitt Sportsturf uses its MF tractors on national and international contracts costing from just £500 to £5 million-plus.
"Our projects range from a one-day Verti-draining contract to the construction of a world-class football academy with multiple training pitches," pointed out managing director, John Hewitt. "No matter what the size or location of a contract, we will be transporting at least one of our MF tractors to site. In many cases, it can be three or four."
A long-established policy is that Hewitt Sportsturf never hires in any item of regularly-used equipment. Mr Hewitt explained that using their own fleet of tractors and plant eliminates any possible problem with the fitting or operation of essential attachments. It ensures also that regular servicing and maintenance is carried out in the company's workshop at Cosby in line with the manufacturer's schedule.
The Massey Ferguson tractor fleet run by Hewitt Sportsturf comprises four 30hp compacts and a mix of 5400 and 6200 models spanning the 95hp to 115hp bracket. All 17 higher horsepower tractors are fitted with wide profile Trelleborg tyres from day one.
"We use the compacts primarily for smaller jobs such as overseeding, fertilising and pitch finishing," commented Mr Hewitt. "The larger tractors are put to work on tasks ranging from fraise mowing and deep tine aeration to rotary cultivation and hauling gravel trailers to support drainage works."
With the majority of Hewitt Sportsturf's contract operations taking place from May to September, the tractors are worked hard for long hours during the summer months to ensure that contracts are completed on time and within budget.
"Key factors in our continuing use of Massey Ferguson tractors are the high levels of reliability, performance and dealer support that we have enjoyed over the past 50 years," said Mr Hewitt. "Every job we do is away from base so it is essential that our tractors do not let us down," he said. "I am pleased to say that such occurrences have been very rare, vindicating our decision to remain loyal to MF for the past half century. I can see no reason why that position should change."

Paul McGann probably my favourite Doctor for the long running audio drama series of Eighth Doctor Adventures.
I'll be honest "I'm a Doctor, but probably not the one you were expecting" gave me the shivers. One happy geek.


Y'all, it's been one of those months. One of those months where half of my lesson plans went unfinished, one of those months with opportunities to learn through play. The good news is that I noticed something wonderful in all of our chaos: the learning will come … in one way or another.
If you follow along on Instagram, you probably know that we've had one of those months. I've shared pictures like this one about learning through play and giving yourself grace when life gets busy. Here's a little backstory behind all of that.
I shared here last month that my family is planting a church, as in starting a new one, in 2018 and how the next step in our journey is to sell our house.
Holy cow, our house went on the market at the end of January and I'm already tired of living in limbo. I sound like a big baby, but having the house semi-spotless at all times is stressful.
It's also pretty stressful to have to go through your house and analyze and correct every flaw (even the tiniest things), yet we did it all month long. I mean, our house is awesome and we love it, but we do lots of living there and it shows.
To put it simply, I'm tired. I have a ton of good intentions right now, homeschool and otherwise, but making them all happen is easier said than done. Can you relate?
Thankfully, I've come to realize something wonderful in all of this: the learning will come. Say it with me: the learning will come.
Between meeting with our realtor, preparing our house for MLS pictures, and getting ready for viewings, I've not had enough hours in the day to execute my homeschool plans. Surprisingly enough, the kids learned anyway. They learned through play and they learned through life.
Does it look like a win when compared to my plans for our homeschool?
Not exactly, but they learned through play and they learned because they wanted to learn. That's winning on any day, but especially days when I'm less than present.
The learning will come, but how? I'm so glad you asked. We've had some good homeschool days — I'd be exaggerating greatly if I said that nothing's been marked off my lesson plans.
Art – I mentioned in my January journal that art will play a big part in helping us navigate change. Our Mixing with the Masters Mixed Media Workshop is just one of the ways we're making art happen even when I'm not as involved as I'd like to be.
Prime Video – There's been lots of good TV happening this month: Popular Mechanics for Kids, Travel with Kids, and our normal TV picks for math and language arts. If they're going to spend more time in front of the screen during a crazy season of life, we might as well have something to show for it.
Snap Circuits – Both of my kids have been busy with these all month long. Sometimes they work together and sometimes they work individually — even my five year-old loves learning with them!
The House at Pooh Corner – We've had some sweet read-aloud moments with this one. There are times when I can stop and read and there are times when I can't right now. When I'm not available for read-aloud time, my big kid takes over the reading duty. It's pretty much the sweetest thing ever.
Our homeschool co-op – Thank goodness for our co-op. It's a comfort to know that one day a week remains the same while we're going through this unpredictable time!
All of these tools are great, but I include them here for one reason: to show how easily the learning will come when the environment is ripe. This month has been hectic in a lot of ways, but I knew it was coming and I was as prepared as I could be.
Even so, it's encouraging and affirming to see my children learning and growing — even on the days I'm not spurring them on. Indeed, I've seen firsthand all month long that the learning will come.
1. What's working for us: I mentioned last month that I was going to break out our Kindergarten Stepping Stones again since my little one finished Volume 1 of Five in a Row. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I decided to do this. I need the structure and consistency this curriculum provides more than ever.
2. In my life this month: I'm feeling a bit crazy. I thrive with structure and routine and January wasn't the best month for those two things. Needless to say, the ISTJ in me will be thrilled once we sell our house, move, and establish some normalcy again.
3. Homeschool questions/thoughts I have: Will I be able to make all of this happen in our moving process?
Real talk: I'm generally that homeschool mom that makes things happen. To a fault. That's also due to the ISTJ in me. I'm good with simplifying our homeschool days and knowing the learning will come for my kiddos, but will I be able to give them enough of me while we're packing and moving?
5. On the blog in case you missed it: Vincent van Gogh Unit Study Resources. Serious business, we loved learning about van Gogh! Also, 5 Practical Ways to Simplify Your Homeschool Day, just in case you need to be reminded that it's okay to do less.
That's it for us this month. Do you have suggestions for homeschooling through a move? If so, I'd love to hear them!
I'm sure it will be wonderful to be moved and settled, so I hope and pray that this season passes quickly.
Thank you for sharing your home school journey! It's great encouragement kept simple. Love it!

30 June 2020 / Business & Tech / Jay Barmann
Senators Call Out Facebook's Role in Amplifying Extremism Just As Company Bans More Boogaloo Accounts
Facebook announced Tuesday that it was removing more groups and accounts associated with the decentralized, antigovernment Boogaloo movement just as three Democratic senators sent a letter to the company calling out its poor track record on racial justice, tamping down hate, and giving voice to far-right extremists.
Facebook is scrambling this week to stop a revolt among major advertisers that is spooking investors as well, stemming from national boycotts of businesses that activists say enable hate speech and systemic racism. That effort has already put CEO Mark Zuckerberg in the awkward position of reversing a previously staunchly held opinion that Facebook need not fact-check presidents or other politicians, and should not be an "arbiter of truth" when it comes to public figures.
On Tuesday, Senators Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Mark Warner (D-VA), and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) jointly penned a letter to Zuckerberg, as TechCrunch reports, asking a series of questions about the disconnect between Facebook's stated policies and its actual track record on hateful content and extremist groups. And the senators inquired specifically about conservative lobbyist Joel Kaplan, who continues to serve as Facebook's vice president of global public policy, and whether he has influenced certain decisions the company has made in the last year.
"The United States is going through a long-overdue examination of the systemic racism prevalent in our society," the three senators write. "Americans of all races, ages and backgrounds have bravely taken to the streets to demand equal justice for all. While Facebook has attempted to publicly align itself with this movement, its failure to address the hate spreading on its platform reveals significant gaps between Facebook's professed commitment to racial justice and the company's actions and business interests."
The senators point to an April 22 report by the Tech Transparency Project that showed multiple right-wing extremist groups in the U.S. fomenting a militant uprising on the platform. The report pointed specifically at 125 groups affiliated with Boogaloo movement that had been allowed to grow unchecked until early June — when Facebook suddenly began a crackdown that continues through this week following acts of real-life violence, including two in the Bay Area, linked to the movement. And the researchers found that 113 of the 221 white supremacist groups tracked by the Southern Policy Law Center maintain a presence on Facebook, despite Facebook having ostensibly banned white nationalist and white supremacist content.
The senators also specifically mention the Bay Area shootings allegedly committed in late May and early June by Air Force Sergeant Steven Carrillo, and the evidence that Carrillo and his accomplice in one of those shootings met and made their violent plans on Facebook.
One popular (and creepy!) Boogaloo meme.
"The prevalence of white supremacist and other extremist content on Facebook—and the ways in which these groups have been able to use the platform as organizing infrastructure — is unacceptable," they write. "Facebook's Community Standards expressly state: 'We do not allow hate speech on Facebook.'... In light of these clear policies... we are concerned Facebook is unable (or unwilling) to enforce its own Community Standards and rid itself of white supremacist and other extremist content."
Facebook now has until July 10 to respond to a series of questions from the senators.
The questions are:
1. Does Facebook affirm its policy against hate speech and will it seriously enforce this policy?
2. What procedures has Facebook put in place to identify and remove hate speech from its platform? To what degree do these procedures differ with respect to public Facebook pages and private groups?
3. Does Facebook affirm its policy against violence and incitement and will it seriously enforce this policy?
4. What procedures has Facebook put in place to identify and remove violence and incitement from its platform? To what degree do these procedures differ with respect to public Facebook pages and private groups?
5. Does Facebook affirm its commitment to ban "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and white separatism on Facebook and Instagram" as detailed in the company's May 27, 2019 post and will it seriously enforce this commitment?
6. What steps has Facebook implemented since announcing this policy to remove "praise, support and representation of white nationalism and white separatism on Facebook and Instagram?"
7. Please provide our offices with any Facebook internal research concerning the platform's amplification of extremist groups.
8. How often are you personally briefed on the status of domestic extremist and white supremacist groups on Facebook and the platform's efforts to address these groups?
9. Who is the senior-most Facebook official responsible for addressing white supremacist groups' activity on Facebook and which Facebook executive does this employee report directly to?
10. What role did Vice President of Global Public Policy Joel Kaplan play in Facebook's decision to shut down and de-prioritize internal efforts to contain extremist and hyperpolarizing activity on Facebook?
11. What role did Mr. Kaplan play in the participation of the Daily Caller, an outlet with longstanding ties to white nationalist groups, in Facebook's fact-checking program?
12. When violent extremist groups actively and openly use a platform's tools to coordinate violence, should federal law continue to protect the platform from civil liability for its role in facilitating that activity?
Also on Tuesday, Facebook announced that it is shutting down 220 Facebook accounts, 95 Instagram accounts, 28 pages, and 106 groups associated with the Boogaloo movement, and it is adding Boogaloo to its list of "dangerous" organizations, even though it isn't an organization in its own right.
In a blog post, the company defines this collection of Boogaloo groups and accounts as a "violent network," and refers to the removal of the accounts as a "strategic network disruption."
"So long as violent movements operate in the physical world, they will seek to exploit digital platforms," the company says. "We are stepping up our efforts against this network and know there is still more to do."
Today's actions follow on the June 17 removal of a couple of Boogaloo groups that had been specifically used by Carrillo and his alleged accomplice, Robert Justus. At the time, SFist noted multiple Boogaloo groups were still operating and sharing memes with impunity.
Facebook (temporarily) lost major advertisers Unilever and Proctor and Gamble last week due to the growing advertiser boycott, which itself has more to do with the Black Lives Matter movement than with amplifying antigovernment groups — though the Venn diagrams of various ideologies on the libertarian and alt-right spectrum tend to have plenty of overlap with white-supremacists and militia groups. In response to the boycott, Zuckerberg finally found a conscience and announced that the company would begin banning political ads that contain hate content, and begin labeling and/or removing posts by politicians that contain lies or misinformation aimed at voter suppression.

HP debuts pair of new eye-popping DreamColor displays
By JR Bookwalter
Most of us toil away on a computer display capable of showing only a fraction of the color detail being thrown onto it, but two new offerings introduced today by HP promise to bring out all the colors of the rainbow, without breaking your budget.
HP announced two new pro-level computer monitors for Windows, Mac or Linux users on Sunday, each capable of displaying up to 1.07 billion colors on screen with an error rate lower than what the human eye is actually capable of seeing.
According to HP, the new DreamColor Z27x and Z24x feature 60 percent more pixels while being capable of displaying a color palette of up to 4,000 percent higher, all while reducing the thickness of the displays by as much as 57 percent.
Priced at $599 (about UK£361, AU$646), the entry-level Z24x is priced 25 percent less than its predecessor and features a 10-bit accuracy, one-button access to a full range of built-in presets and easy connectivity to desktop and laptop systems.
Built for pros
At the higher end of the scale, the HP Z27x introduces built-in support for third-party measurement hardware with remote management via Ethernet and a full software development kit (SDK) for software integration.
Priced at $1499 (about UK£903, AU$1,617), HP claims the Z27x offers three times the color accuracy of its previous generation 27-inch display, making it the most affordable color-critical display on the market capable of 4K resolution.
As part of an ongoing "technology collaboration" with DreamWorks Animation SKG and other leading Hollywood studios, the HP Z27x has been built from the ground up for content creators ranging from film and video post-production to product design, animation, graphic arts and photography.
HP also announced a pair of real-time collaboration tools Monday for its HP Z Workstations with 256GB or 512GB PCIe-based solid-state drive (SSD) storage as well as updated HP Remote Graphics Software 7.0, which debut in May and June, respectively.
