Tenderloin's St. Boniface gets help from development — that's good for the stained glass
By John Wildermuth on January 24, 2014 at 2:28 PM
A 21st century development tactic will be used to save some century-old stained glass church windows in one of the rare San Francisco planning agreements that seems to have left everyone happy.
The Tenderloin's St. Boniface Church, which serves the poorest of San Francisco's poor, got a much needed financial boost Thursday when the City Planning Commission agreed to rezone the property at 133-135 Golden Gate Ave. to allow the facility to share in the city's downtown building boom.
There are no plans to replace the Romanesque revival church, rebuilt in 1908 after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, with a skyscraper, but the development rights that go with the new zoning can be a fiscal godsend for the aging facility.
The zoning change allows the church to participate in the city's Transfer of Development Rights program, which will let the parish sell the development rights it will never use to downtown developers looking to build projects that are bigger than would otherwise be allowed.
Those extra rights are gold for developers and the cash they pay has been used for preservation efforts on a number of historic San Francisco buildings and landmarks.
St. Boniface, which originally was built to serve the city's German-speaking population, could use the money. It provides a wide range of services to the poor in the Tenderloin, including a program that allows the homeless to rest and sleep on the church's pews during the day. The programs, along with the general ravages of age, have taken a toll on the church.
"The buildings that belong to St. Boniface … require a lot of expensive maintenance," the Rev. Tommy Kelly, OFM, the church's pastor, wrote in a letter to the commission. "Since most of the parishioners are quite poor, St. Boniface must always seek outside funding to continue to function."
Besides providing cash to improve and update the historic landmark, money raised by selling development rights would be used toward the $2 million restoration of church's stained glass windows, which were crafted in Germany and St. Louis and then shipped by train to San Francisco in 1908. Income from the sales would be use to renovate the stained glass "and maintain St. Boniface as a place of beauty in the Tenderloin."
There was nary a discouraging word said about the zoning change, which had letters of support from a variety of city preservationist groups and Tenderloin nonprofit agencies. It received a quick and unanimous thumbs up from the commission.

Answer: The International Space Station (ISS), like all other objects in orbit, experiences a slight amount of air drag, even at an altitude of hundreds of kilometers. The air gets pretty thin up there, but it's still enough to cause friction and gradually reduce the speed of any orbiting object. Left unchecked, that loss of speed would eventually cause the ISS to fall back to Earth in a meteoric reentry and break up. That's exactly what happened with Sky Lab back in July 1979.
So every once in awhile they need to boost its orbit back to where it should be. They also sometimes change the orbit in other directions to avoid being hit by dangerous pieces of space junk. There are two ways to do this … either by using an onboard thruster in the Zvezda Module (see graphic), or the engines of a spacecraft docked with the ISS. Note that the Zvezda Module is on the aft end of the ISS, opposite its direction of motion.
Zvezda is always kept fueled for such purposes, and that fuel is re-supplied as needed by scheduled cargo shipments. Using a docked spacecraft is a "backup plan." That can only be done if the spacecraft has fuel to spare, and they don't usually carry much more than they need since unburned fuel is extra weight.
By the way, your description of the ISS as "floating" is not quite accurate. It has a current total mass of over 400,000 kg, and is pulled downward by gravity with a force of 4 million newtons (about 1 million pounds). Gravity extends to that altitude (and beyond), and is only a few percent less than at ground level. So what keeps the ISS from falling back to Earth?
Answer: The ISS is continuously falling toward the Earth. But its extreme horizontal speed of 27,724 kilometers per hour (17,227 mph) ensures that by the time it falls that distance the ISS has also moved over 8000 km (5000 miles) horizontally. And that's just far enough to "miss" hitting the Earth and carry the ISS over the horizon. One might say the ISS is falling around the Earth, and gravity is what holds it in a circular orbit.
So in the same 6 minutes it would take to free fall 640 km (400 miles), the ISS moves 8000 km (5000 miles) horizontally. Those two motions occur simultaneously, and the result is a smooth circular orbit. At higher altitudes gravity is weaker, and less horizontal speed is required to maintain orbit.

Harmannus Smith (November 13, 1790 – July 1, 1872) was a physician, farmer and political figure in Upper Canada and then the Province of Canada. He represented Wentworth County in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada from 1834 to 1836 as a Reformer and then in the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Canada from 1841 to 1851.  He served a six-year term in the Legislative Council of the Province of Canada, from 1858 to 1864.

Early life and family
Smith was born in Louth Township, Upper Canada, the son of Joseph Smith, a United Empire Loyalist, and Anna Margaret House, the daughter of a United Empire Loyalist. He attended school in Niagara and then studied medicine with a Dr. Allen. Smith later served as a member of the Medical Board for Canada West.

Smith served in the militia during the War of 1812 as a private and then assistant surgeon. He lived in Barton Township and Ancaster Township, both in Wentworth County. Smith married Elizabeth Fillman. The couple had seven children: four sons and three daughters.

Political career
Smith was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada in October 1834, for the 12th Parliament of Upper Canada.  He and Jacob Rymal were the two members for Wentworth County.

Following the election of 1834, the Legislative Assembly was dominated by reformers, who opposed the government of the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Francis Bond Head, refusing to pass budget bills.  As a result of the frequent clashes, Lieutenant Governor Head dissolved the 12th Parliament after only two annual sessions.  In the resulting election, Smith and Rymal were defeated by Allan MacNab and Michael Aikman.  Smith did not appear to have much acceptance among the provincial elite.

In 1841, the provinces of Lower Canada and Upper Canada were united into the Province of Canada by the Act of Union of 1840, passed by the British Parliament.  The union of the provinces was in response to the Rebellions of 1837–1838.  The separate parliaments of Lower Canada and Upper Canada were replaced by the new Parliament of the Province of Canada, composed of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council.

Smith stood for election to the Legislative Assembly in the first general election in 1841. He was elected for the Wentworth electoral district, defeating Willson.  He was re-elected in the elections of 1844 and 1848, defeating Aikman both times. He did not stand for election in 1851.

In the first Parliament, Smith supported the union and was generally a moderate Reformer.  He initially supported the government of the Governor General, Lord Sydenham, but gradually came to support Robert Baldwin in his contests with subsequent governors-general over the principles of responsible government.

He was elected to the Legislative Council of the Province of Canada for Burlington in 1856, serving until 1864.

Q: Without using `protected`, how the subclass can effectively use the variables defined in base class Bjarne Stroustrup once said that he can address most of the tasks with ONLY private or public member variables and he seldom uses protected member variables in his design. I have heard similar arguments in other places. Here is an example,
class BaseClass
{
   ...
private:
   int m_iAge;
   double m_dSalary;
   string m_strName;
   bool m_bGender;
}

class SubClass : public BaseClass
{
   ...
}

Given the above class design, how the subclass SubClass can use the variables defined in BaseClass?
Question1> Why we should prefer to having private rather than protected variables? Is it the reason that the BaseClass can hide the implementation detail and make it easy for further improvement?
Question2> In order to let the SubClass access the variable defined in BaseClass, it seems to me that we have to define public access(get/set). However, getter/setter are evil! So the second choice is to define protected access(get/set). Any better idea?
Thank you

A: Bjarne's point is that generally the derived class shouldn't access the variables of the base class -- doing so frequently leads to maintenance problems. And no, changing it to use get/set (accessor/mutator) functions isn't an improvement.

A: Ask yourself - why would the derived class ever change the value of m_bGender? Or m_iAge? Doesn't the base class already handle these values correctly?
See, there is generally no need to have direct access to the internals of the base class. So we make them private, and use the class' public interface.
In some very rare cases, there might also be one or two protected functions, if derived classes need some special interface. But that is unusual. If derived classes have different behaviour, we more often use virtual functions for that.

A: I think the rationale for this claim is that in many situations, subclassing doesn't often change the behavior of the existing (inherited fields), but rather one adds fields and adds new methods that manipulate the new fields.
If you are looking for a way to manipulate inherited members w/o protected, you can, in the base class, make the derived class a friend.  You would have to know it ahead of time, though.

A: The only main reason to use private over protected members is if they indeed are not required in child implementations. That's why we have protected members, because there are cases where the child class does need direct access to members of a parent class. I think Stroustrup is referring to a design whereby there is little need to access parent members in the first place, and child classes simply build upon the functionality of their parent rather than modify the functionality of their parent.

However, getter/setter are evil!

Why so? Getters and setters are an important part of OOP from my experience. There are good reasons to make an interface with a class, rather than access its variables directly.

The Dairy Queen system's newest restaurant concept has opened its doors at 7601 N. Grand Prairie Drive in Peoria, Illinois, across from the Shops at Grand Prairie. The 2,716-square-foot DQ Grill & Chill restaurant adds 45 new jobs in the area, contributing to Illinois' employment growth.
The new restaurant will also contribute to the state's restaurant sales, which according to the National Restaurant Association, are projected to increase by more than 3 percent this year.
The restaurant can seat 72 guests inside and also offers 12 attractive outdoor patio seats. Bringing together the best of the past and the present, the drive thru is lined with old-fashioned street lamps.
Kepple and his wife Linda are also franchisees of another DQ Grill & Chill restaurant in Peoria on Knoxville Avenue, a DQ restaurant on Sheridan Road in Peoria, and the DQ treat locations in Bartonville and Creve Coeur.
The Dairy Queen system also celebrates the reopening of the DQ Orange Julius store in the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville, which was forced to close temporarily due to the 2010 Tennessee floods. Located at 364 Opry Mills Drive, the location employs a staff of 10.
"I am thrilled to reopen the DQ Orange Julius store at the Opry Mills Mall in Nashville and ready to serve our customers," says operator Seth Homayoon, who also operates DQ restaurants in Nashville and Madison, and a DQ Grill & Chill restaurant in Hendersonville. "We are excited once again to provide the Nashville community with a great treat location, from that morning smoothie to the after-the-movie Blizzard Treat."

Suspect in off-duty San Bernardino sheriff's deputy's death is a 'career criminal,' authorities say
Surveillance video shows an altercation that fatally injured a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy after a minor traffic collision on Sunday.

A convicted felon suspected of fatally assaulting a San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy after a minor off-duty crash on New Year's Eve has been charged with murder, authorities said Wednesday.
The deputy, Lawrence "Larry" Falce, 70, was involved in a collision Sunday with Alonzo Leron Smith, San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said at an afternoon news conference. Smith punched Falce in the head, knocking him unconscious, Burguan said.
The deputy never woke up and died at a hospital after being removed from life support just after 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Smith, 30, of San Bernardino has a lengthy criminal history. San Bernardino County Dist. Atty. Michael Ramos said he would seek sentencing enhancements because of Smith's previous convictions.
"This person needs to spend the rest of his life in prison," Ramos said. "We need to get this career criminal off the streets who's been in prisons and jails ever since he was able to be tried as an adult."
Ramos said Smith had served time in state prison for selling marijuana and for gang activity. Court records show myriad past charges, including extortion, robbery and criminal street gang participation.
Smith pleaded not guilty to murder on Wednesday, records show.

(San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department )
Falce was driving his red Chevrolet pickup through the intersection of Kendall Drive and University Parkway in San Bernardino on Sunday when he "stopped or had applied his brakes" to avoid hitting a dog in the roadway, Burguan said.
Smith was driving a 2002 Ford Explorer behind the off-duty deputy and rear-ended his vehicle, according to police.
The men pulled over to the curb and, "for reasons that are unknown," Smith punched Falce once in the face, Burguan said.
Grainy surveillance video from a nearby business shows a man swinging his arm back and striking Falce, who falls to the ground. The man got back in his sport-utility vehicle; the video shows apparent witnesses unsuccessfully trying to stop him from leaving. One driver even tried to ram his vehicle from behind to try to prevent him from driving off, authorities said.
Smith was arrested later that night at a girlfriend's residence in San Bernardino after witnesses provided police with descriptions of the attacker, his vehicle and license plate number, Burguan said.
At one point, Smith's brother was arrested because his name was associated with the vehicle and because he matched witness descriptions, Burguan said.
Police, Burguan said, are trying to determine whether Falce and Smith knew each other. Falce was a 36-year veteran of the Sheriff's Department, and Smith had been arrested by San Bernardino police and sheriff's deputies numerous times, authorities said.
At Wednesday's news conference, the district attorney decried legislative efforts to reduce penalties for nonviolent drug crimes. Ramos predicted that his attempt to seek a prior-conviction sentencing enhancement for Smith would be thwarted because people would argue his previous convictions were nonviolent felonies. Ramos blamed "all the liberals up in Sacramento."
"I am sick of … having to deal with these people, especially when they take the life of one of our community members, our deputy. And we're going to fight like hell to make sure that enhancement sticks," he said.
San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said Falce "should be remembered as an honorable man who dedicated his entire adult life to his country." Falce, an Army veteran, worked patrol at the department's Central Station for 32 years and had coordinated a search and rescue team for several years.
McMahon said he spoke this week with a relatively new janitor in the department who was devastated by news of Falce's death. The janitor saw the deputy getting coffee every morning and had asked Falce why, at his age, he was still driving a patrol car.
"That's because I love doing what I do," McMahon said Falce told the janitor.
"He was a very productive, proactive deputy sheriff that loved his job and was committed to helping the citizens of this county," McMahon said.

"The Godfather of British Pop Art" Peter Blake was born in Dartford, Kent in 1932 and is one of the most celebrated and revered living artists.
Peter Blake studied at Gravesend School of Art before being accepted into the Royal College of Art, London, studying alongside many of the key British Pop artists, including David Hockney, R. B. Kitaj, Joe Tilson, Allen Jones, Peter Phillips and Derek Boshier. After completing his National Service, he received the Leverhulme Research Award to study popular art whilst travelling throughout Europe.
A celebrated painter and printmaker, Blake's fascination with popular mass culture and entertainment is at the core of his work. He has appropriated icons and advertising imagery to create sincere homages to the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Brigitte Bardot, Elvis Presley and professional wrestlers. In other work he composes assemblages of found objects with humorous allusions to the history of art and childhood fantasies. His images are iconic not only within art history but as a mirror to the social mores of modern Britain.
"There is a Victorian element about Blake's work, filled as it is with memorabilia, rich in association and scrap-book mementoes, and of all the English Pop-ists he is certainly the most unabashedly romantic. The future may find him the most evocative and nostalgic of all his contemporaries."
Blake's first one-man exhibition was held in 1962 at the Portal Gallery; solo shows followed at the Robert Fraser Gallery (1965) and at Leslie Waddington Prints (1969). Since the early 1970s his work has been exhibited regularly in one-man shows throughout the world, including the Nishimura Gallery, Tokyo (1988) and the Govinda Gallery, Washington D.C. (1992).
His first retrospective exhibition was held as early as 1969 at the City Art Gallery, Bristol. Subsequent retrospectives were held in 1973 at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, touring to Hamburg and Brussels and at the Tate Gallery in 1983. In 1994 he was made the Third Associate Artist of the National Gallery, London. Peter Blake was elected a member of the Royal Academy in 1981, and was knighted in 2002. In 2007 the Tate Liverpool held a major retrospective of Peter Blake's work which toured to the Museo de Bellas Artes, Bilbao in 2008.
In 1967 Blake designed the artwork for The Beatles' Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, in turn advancing the record sleeve to an art form. The artist has since created some of the most iconic and enduring album covers of all time for artists including The Who, Paul Weller, Ian Dury, Eric Clapton, Brian Wilson, Oasis, Band Aid and Live Aid.
"My generation, from Damien, Sarah Lucas, Gavin Turk to Mat Collishaw, we all adore Peter and we all adore his work. Right from the beginning he made an immediate connection with all of us. He fully embraced our generation of artists and now a younger generation of artists."

Coney Island Math: Subtract Condos, Add Hotels
Controversial plans for high-rise luxury condos at Coney Island have now been scrapped, with developer Thor revising its plans to instead include a glass enclosed water park and hotel space. The city's planning department was very concerned with condominiums being included in the plan, but Thor had argued condos would be critical in keeping the project profitable. Now Thor CEO Joseph Sitt explained, "This is our way of being responsible and putting out an olive branch to the community and city administration."
Sitt said that a new "amusement-park hotel" would be built near where Astroland currently sits; the hotel will have indoor and outdoor rides. He told the Post, "If you have kids, what better hotel to stay at than one with its own amusement park and that is next to the historic Wonder Wheel on one end and has the landmark Cyclone on the other?" It sounds like Sitt has taken Astroland owner Carol Albert's advice; back in March, she told the Sun, "You could make money year-round in the amusement business in Coney Island by building a hotel or hotels instead of condos."
However, the NY Times notes that this change doesn't satisfy all the critics.
Robert Lieber, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation, described Mr. Sitt's new plan as a "wolf dressed up as a sheep."...Mr. Lieber and others say that the time-share units look an awful lot like apartments and that the complex looks more like a mall than Coney Island.
"[Sitt] came in last week and presented a plan that had essentially the same density, but dressed it up with hotels and time shares," Mr. Lieber said on Friday. "The building heights still exceed the 271-foot Parachute Jump," a Coney Island landmark. "And he's looking for a huge subsidy from the city. North of $100 million."
It's true - the rendering at top does show buildings much taller than the Parachute Jump. Coney Island blog Kinetic Carnival writes that the new rendering looks similar to the old one (the new hotel/time share buildings are "Donald Trump style boxes with windows"), which doesn't seem to adhere to "Coney Island character," as city agencies hope for.
Here's the strategic plan for Coney Island's Development.

YouTube Warns Creators They May See a Drop in Number of Subscribers
YouTube is enacting a broad purge of spam accounts over the next two days, and it's warning creators they could see a big drop in subscribers as a result.
The Google-owned video service regularly works to verify the legitimacy of accounts, and its purge of spammy and bogus users has led to steep declines in sub counts in the past.
YouTube, as part of its quarterly report on enforcement of community standards that first launched earlier this year, said on Thursday it deleted 1.67 million channels during the third quarter of 2018, 80% of which were for spam violations. All told, those channels represented around 50 million videos (which were removed along with the channels).
In addition, in the third quarter YouTube said it deleted 7.85 million videos (81% of which were first detected by automated systems) for violations of its guidelines prohibiting spam and adult content as well as "low-volume areas" like violent extremism and child exploitation. YouTube also removed over 224 million comments for violating community guidelines, most of which were for spam.
To identify spam accounts, YouTube says it uses a mix of "industry-leading techniques and proprietary technology." Spammer accounts tend to subscribe to a variety of channels, instead of just subscribing to channels that bought the spam.
YouTube requires channels to have a minimum of 1,000 subscribers to participate in the platform's ad-revenue sharing program, called the YouTube Partner Program. If the spam-purge causes a channel to drop below the 1,000-subscriber threshhold, it will no longer be eligible for the rev-share program.

On its flag, Missouri quotes Voltaire: Salus populi suprema lux esto, which, roughly translated, means let the welfare of the people be the highest law.
Those two tenets of what it means to be a Missourian are sort of in conflict these days, as the state competes with other red states to demonstrate how conservative they are, even if it kills people.
Incumbent Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a U.S. Senate hopeful, is using his office (as Josh Hawley did before him) to climb up the political ladder. But what Schmitt is doing will almost certainly result in people dying:
Following a ruling by a Cole County Circuit Court last week, Schmitt, a Republican running for U.S. Senate in Missouri, said the ruling determined mask mandates, quarantines and other public health orders are illegal.
He then sent letters to dozens of county health departments and school districts. The letters demanded that districts drop any mask mandates and other COVID-19 related protocols. Schmitt also warned of legal action if they ignored his requests.
That's right: The state AG is sending cease and desist letters to local school boards and health departments, threatening them if they do not comply with his wishes.

BRENT ORRELL asks: 'Where's the Beef?'
Downscale workers are well and truly up in arms in the form of a cultural phenomenon known as "antiwork", a ceaseless fount of complaints about wages and working conditions in America. A sub-Reddit thread, populated by over 1 million contributors and commenters, testifies to the salience of the antiwork movement. While it is impossible to tell the extent to which the general public shares the antiwork view, when a million-plus Americans are complaining about the same thing it's good to pay attention. Perhaps this discontent helps explain the labor shortages, precipitous rise in early retirements, and decline in workforce participation.
Why the sudden revolt against work?
Over many decades, the American economy has depended on a seemingly endless supply of workers (documented and not) willing to work for the sometimes parsimonious wages on offer in our advanced, globally-integrated, highly competitive, and skills-biased economy. If employees didn't like conditions, well, there was always someone else anxious to take the work. Just five years ago, McDonalds had 50,000 applications lined up for 13,000 jobs.
Then, along came an invisible hand (in the form of a lethal virus) that uncovered some hidden truths: there are a lot of jobs in America that are hard, sometimes dirty, and, especially in a pandemic, downright dangerous. What this adds up to in the unsettled, post-COVID-19 environment, is record job quits and a big gap between the number of jobs on offer – mainly in entry-level service, retail, and manufacturing – and workers willing to fill them. Meatpacking, perhaps unsurprisingly, is one of those occupations.

The development of public administration (PA) is a worldwide topic of research, considering its importance in resolving governance issues in contemporary society. Consequently, the question of PA as a scientific discipline arises at both national and broader levels. In order to explore the state of affairs in PA trends in Slovenia and its regional context, an analysis was conducted involving 78 papers published in the leading Slovenian scientific journal – the International Public Administration Review – between 2011 and 2014. Content analysis as a method applied in the research is a widely recognized approach in social sciences and in the field of PA as well. Taking into account the respective analyses of the papers in terms of predominating discipline and mainstream topics, affiliation and collaboration of authors, language, methods of research and other criteria, we examined three main guidelines of editorial policy, namely the journal's interdisciplinary, international and practical orientation. The results reveal that PA in Slovenia is rather multidisciplinary, with a prevailing role of management (HRM in particular), law and economics (the latter even mostly monodisciplinary). International and practical aspects, on the other hand, still offer some room for improvement. In sum, to support PA's progress and its disciplinary evolution in line with global trends and the IPAR mission, a systematic interdisciplinary and all-European approach in future theory and practice is inevitable.

The issue here is one of not allowing Samoans to choose those who make very important decisions that will affect them and their relatives. And most of these Samoans have firsthand knowledge of good governance, something I have never witnessed anywhere on Upolu, for instance.

Today I Am grateful for being right where I needed to be this morning, when I needed to be there, including when I woke up, when I caught the bus, and when I got to work after stopping for breakfast.
I Am also grateful for the increasing abundance that is showing up in many ways lately.
Finally I Am grateful for a wonderful extended afternoon/evening I got to spend with the boys, playing with them at the library, seeing the full expressions of their brilliant creativity, then enjoying another amazing meal at our new favorite restaurant, Lun Wah in Roselle!

Aurangzeb Khan conducts workshop for SLCUA umpires
Friday, 9 May 2014 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
Internationally-acclaimed umpiring trainer and cricket columnist Aurangzeb Khan, an ACUS (England) qualified umpire while visiting Sri Lanka on a private visit, was requested by Ashroff Ghani, the President of Sri Lanka Cricket Umpires Association (SLCUA) to share his views and deliver a lecture to the younger generation cricket umpires of Sri Lanka. Khan conduced a one-day workshop to a group of selected members of SLCUA at the Bloomfield Cricket and Athletic Club in Reid Avenue last Wednesday. In an introductory welcome speech, Ghany expressed his satisfaction on a number of achievements and his utter disappointment on placement of umpires in school cricket by a lone Association of Cricket Umpires Association, from amongst umpires enrolled on their own umpiring numbers roll, through their own coaches, avoiding the merited umpires at large from performing at this level. He also alleged that such action, which is an action of monopoly and discrimination, was damaging the cause of cricket in Sri Lanka. He finally said that there is a need for an immediate redressed in the interest of the cause and objective of uplift of cricket in Sri Lanka and a grave injustice to the school cricket which is the true grassroot and base of cricket. Addressing the SLCUA members, Khan, a field cricket umpire of Pakistan in the late 1980s and early 1990s being a promising cricket umpiring trainer, writer and columnist emphasised on the importance of personal and physical fitness besides the technical abilities of practicing umpires, who should at all times demonstrate justified and acceptable professional behavior on and off the field at all times. "Good eyesight, hearing ability and the endurance to stand for long periods of time and acute concentration and anticipation, a must for umpires. Umpires, at all times should refrain from making any comment in favour or against a player, team or official expect for being upright, bold and straightforward in their reporting duties specified playing conditions and adjudications with the laws of cricket. Such umpires are highly regarded and respected by all in the game irrespective of their belongings," he said. Khan advised the SLCUA umpires to be very cautious of their reputation which terms them 'nompere' (men above all) and to the extent of refusing politely an appointment of a match in which there is the likelihood of an allegation of partiality. Such umpires are highly respected by all. He added in response to Ghany's welcome address that if there is more than one association, none should be allowed to monopolise over one class or division, blocking the way for the practicing umpires to practice their umpiring skills in all grades and divisions of cricket to be able to gain promotions according to their performance to higher levels such as international and test cricket.

Quantum Science Education in Tongji University, Shanghai, China
In 2021, the keyword "quantum information" has been placed in a very important position in the work reports of several governments around the world. At the same time, the ministries of education of some countries have announced that quantum information science is officially listed as an undergraduate major.
In March, CIQTEK came to Tongji University, Shanghai, China, with its experimental course solution based on the Diamond Quantum Computer for Education to boost the development of quantum information science together.
Fig. 1 Tongji University
Tongji University has a long history and reputation of 114 years and is a national key university directly under the Ministry of Education of China. Tongji University's School of Physics and Engineering has always placed great emphasis on teaching physics experiments, encouraging teachers to expand experimental content and develop new experimental projects. Its physics program was approved as a base for the Basic Subjects Outstanding Students Training Program by the Ministry of Education in 2021.
Quantum information science education cannot be separated from the close combination of quantum theory and experiment. Over the years, CIQTEK has been providing experimental course solutions for higher education institutions, forming quantum education solutions such as the diamond quantum computer for education, quantum computing cloud platform, quantum optics experimental platform, etc., helping universities to promote the construction of quantum information subjects and improve teaching contents and methods.

Reklama (z łac. reclamo, reclamare 'odzew'; re 'w tył, znów, naprzeciw' i clamo, clamare 'wołać') – informacja połączona z komunikatem perswazyjnym. Zazwyczaj ma na celu skłonienie do nabycia lub korzystania z określonych towarów czy usług, popierania określonych spraw lub idei (np. promowanie marki).

Jawność przekazu
Reklama może być:
 jawna – reklamująca wprost pokazywany produkt,
 dołączona jawnie, ale jako dodatek, choć to ona może być głównym, czy jedynym celem,
 ukryta, czyli kryptoreklama, czasem jako przekaz podprogowy,
 mieszana, tj. zawierająca co najmniej dwie z powyższych kategorii.

Działanie
Reklama jako środek masowego przekazu ma za zadanie budować zachowania, generować potrzeby, wywoływać pragnienie. Reklama przybiera różną postać – od rzetelnej informacji o cechach produktu, spotykanej głównie w prasie specjalistycznej, po wychwalanie produktu bez rzetelnej informacji merytorycznej o przedmiocie reklamy, co często przypisuje się reklamie telewizyjnej.

Czasami reklama występuje w formie ukrytej – np. firmy organizują prezentacje własnych technologii czy też piszą artykuły do prasy specjalistycznej na ich temat – co jest na pograniczu reklamy i edukacji lub ukazywane są przedmioty będące towarami określonej marki, umieszczone w kontekście filmu fabularnego.

Czasem reklama łączona jest z korzyściami dla osób decydujących o skorzystaniu z przedmiotu reklamy – np. firmy sponsorują wyjazdy szkoleniowe lub pseudoszkoleniowe w atrakcyjne miejsca – co jest na pograniczu reklamy i korupcji.

Celem reklamy jest skuteczność ich oddziaływania na odbiorcę, dlatego w reklamie można się spotkać z treściami wywołującymi np. skandal obyczajowy lub procesy sądowe. Dzięki temu wzrasta zainteresowanie wokół reklamy, a tym samym siła oddziaływania kampanii reklamowej.

Ważną cechą odróżniającą w komunikacji poprzez media reklamę od public relations jest to, że reklama jest formą płatną, tzn. reklamodawca płaci mediom za nadanie komunikatu reklamowego i ma nad tym komunikatem pełną kontrolę.

Zdecydowana większość reklam charakteryzuje się celami komercyjnymi. Można jednak wyróżnić również reklamę społeczną oraz reklamę polityczną. Ponadto istnieją zjawiska łączące ze sobą wymienione typy reklam – reklamy powstające w ramach kampanii marketingowych łączących cele komercyjne z celami społecznymi (tak prowadzony marketing określa się mianem marketingu społecznie zaangażowanego, ang. Cause Related Marketing). Tego typu reklam nie należy mylić z reklamami społecznymi.

Historia reklamy
Swoiste formy reklamy pochodzą z czasów starożytnych. Stosowano wówczas reklamę w postaci napisów na ścianach budynków, kamiennych lub terakotowych szyldów karczmy, zajazdu. Starożytni handlowcy wykrzykiwali oraz zachwalali cechy swoich towarów i dóbr. W ten sposób powstała pierwsza w historii forma reklamy – reklama ustna. W starożytnej Grecji pojawiła się reklama pisemna. Miała ona charakter spisanych informacji dotyczących wydarzeń kulturalnych i sportowych.

Wynalezienie przez Gutenberga druku zrewolucjonizowało reklamę. Za umowną datę wynalezienia druku uznaje się rok 1450. Pojawiły się pierwsze gazety, a w nich pierwsze reklamy prasowe.

Kalendarium

 Około 1480 roku wydrukowano w Anglii pierwszą reklamę prasową (wskazówki dla duchownych dotyczące Wielkanocy).
 14 października 1612 – w Paryżu wydrukowana pierwsza reklama w gazecie "Journal General d'Affiches".
 1612 – pierwsze pismo ogłoszeniowe Journal General d'Affiches
 1614 – Anglia – pierwsze regulacje prawne dotyczące reklamy
 1704 – pierwsza udokumentowana amerykańska reklama prasowa (w Europie reklamy na łamach tygodników obecne były już wcześniej – w XVII wieku)
 1835 – powstała agencja informacyjna Charlesa Chavasa
 1843 – w Filadelfii rozpoczął działalność pierwszy agent reklamowy Volney Palmer. Zajmował się zbieraniem ogłoszeń reklamowych i umieszczaniem ich w prasie. Można powiedzieć, że była to pierwsza jednoosobowa agencja reklamowa.
 1848 – powstała agencja informacyjna Associated Press.
 1870 – pierwsza masowa reklama – Ivory Soap (Procter & Gamble)
 1893 – w Stanach Zjednoczonych wydano około 50 tysięcy dolarów na reklamę.
 1920 – pierwsza stacja radiowa KDKA w Pittsburgu. Od 100 lat posługuje się tym samym hasłem reklamowym "PIONIERSKA stacja radiowa świata". Jako pierwsza wprowadziła sponsoring reklam. Program "The Maxwell House Hour" sponsorował znany producent kawy.
 1925 – profesor Olgierd Langer jako pierwszy w Polsce rozpoczyna cykl wykładów o reklamie w Wyższej Szkole dla Handlu Zagranicznego we Lwowie
 1932 – Polski Fiat 508, jedna z pierwszych polskich reklam, czarno-biały film dźwiękowy z udziałem Leny Żelichowskiej
 1941 – w Stanach Zjednoczonych pojawiła się pierwsza reklama telewizyjna w telewizji lokalnej WNBT.
 1983 – w Polsce zaczął się rozwijać rynek reklamy komercyjnej.

Etapy tworzenia reklamy

 Określenie grupy docelowej
 Ustalenie budżetu
 Dobór treści

Funkcje reklamy
 Identyfikacyjna – odróżnienie marki od marek konkurencyjnych, przypisanie marki do określonego produktu.
 Informacyjna – informacja o produkcie (zastosowanie, cechy, przeznaczenie, dystrybucja).
 Promocyjna – korzyści racjonalne oferowane przez markę, wartości dodane związane z marką.

US education system not getting desired results
Bob PapesMoney Matters
Scores from the 2009 Program for International Student Assessment show 15-year-old students in the U.S. performing about average in reading. Out of 34 countries, the U.S. ranked 14th in reading. OK, so the U.S. finished in the middle of the pack, what is the big deal? After all, those scores are all higher than those from 2003 and 2006.
Well, for openers, the scores are far behind the highest scoring countries. The top performing nations in reading were:
u South Korea
u Finland
u Hong Kong and Shanghai
u Singapore
u Canada
u New Zealand
u Japan
u Australia
The gap between the highest performing countries in reading and the United States is stark! Students in Shanghai had an average score 56 points higher in reading than the 500-point average reached by U.S. students. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development administers the PISA exam. The report shows that low national income does not necessarily signify poor educational performance.
The U.S. spends more per student, on average, than any other country. In the 2009 PISA study, only Luxembourg spent more per student. The U.S. spent $10,240 per student from elementary school through college in the year 2000, according to the report. The average was $6,361 among more than 25 nations. The report notes that countries like Estonia and Poland perform at about the same level as the U.S., while spending less than half the amount per student. While having financial resources is important, the report clearly shows that just throwing money at educating our youth is not the solution.
In the top school systems in the study, in each case, teachers are subject to evaluations and have a high standing in society. Also, schools have a degree of autonomy in determining their curriculum — but are also held accountable. The study found that the best school systems were also the most equitable. This means students from disadvantaged backgrounds were just as likely to do well academically. For example, in the Harlem NYC Village Academy Charter School, in one of the poorest areas of the country, English/Language Arts scores were:
u 2010 English scores: 97%
u 2010 New York State English scores: 83%
u 2011 eighth grade language arts scores: 66%
u 2011 eighth grade New York State language arts scores: 47%
If learning is not just a result of financial resources, how can we improve our results? Tenure creates a strong disincentive to innovate or work harder. Tenure attracts to the profession security-seekers rather than risk-takers and provides no upward mobility for the ambitious few.
There are no cash bonuses, no rewards for performance. We have so many hard-working teachers who burn out.
Having run eight good-sized businesses, I could not have ever achieved the kind of results we did under this kind of system. From our PISA test results, it is apparent that our educational system also is not achieving them.

There are two kinds of people in Bend: those who own proper kitchen knives and those who don't. Those who don't often live on Pho Viet take-out, Spork's pork belly sando and frozen pizza from Trader Joe's, and can be found sawing limes with butter-knife-sharp cutlery for cocktail garnishes. Those who actually use their kitchens (microwaving doesn't count), on the other hand, know the importance of a good chef's knife: They can slice, dice, julienne or mince their CSA tomatoes with infomercial ease, and don't have to replace their crappy knives at Target every few years.
