Monterrey's Pal Norte 2019 festival review – a Mexican standoff between The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys
Pictures by Jenn Five
Dan Stubbs
You can almost sense it in the air, can't you: the faint whiff of cider, the crackle of falafel grease warming in its pan, the soundcheck thuds of a 2005 indie band drifting into your tent at the crack of noon… yes, festival season is almost upon us, and while we're gearing up for ours over here in beautiful Brextopia, other parts of the world are already in full swing with theirs. So in a can't-wait-won't-wait spirit, NME hopped over to Mexico's gigantic Pal Norte festival, a Reading & Leeds-sized extravaganza in the northern city of Monterrey. Having taken place last weekend, Pal Norte already put in a bid for the best single day's line-up of the summer, and we were only in March. Friday 22 saw a showdown between The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys – arguably Britain's biggest and best contemporary bands – playing back-to-back. Who would be the victor? Well, the audience, of course.
Pal Norte 2019 (Press)
The sheer size of the site means there's plenty to explore at Pal Norte: there's a lake on which you can ride a pedalo swan while taking in the sounds from the cabana-like DJ stages nearby, there's a salsa-soaked dream of an eating area boasting real-deal Mexican grub for pocket money, and the beer – oh, the beer – comes with a spicy rim should your heart desire. Yes, they do things a little differently in Mexico, not least with the 'secret performances' which take place during the switchover between acts. A klaxon goes off and up pops… well, who knows really? NME caught a singing cowboy and a Latino pop band; they are, apparently, performances of recent novelty hits or appearances by well-loved national treasures. They don't necessarily mean much to a visiting Brit, but it's certainly fun to see the crowd go wild for them.
The 1975 at Pal Norte 2019 (Jenn Five/NME)
But us Brits did have plenty to be proud about on the festival's first day. Appearing on the Tecate Original stage, The 1975 brought a slightly slimmed down version of their recent arena show, though that still meant there was a monolithic screen on stage, dancers the Jaiy twins and a saxophonist. Despite what their sleeve art might have you believe, minimalism isn't always the Manchester band's thing.
The show found Matty Healy in a particularly playful mood. Wearing a tour T-shirt from 1970s prog-rock band Yes and a pair of outrageous red flares, he mugged for the cameras in the photo pit during an opening 'Give Yourself A Try', did his best to recreate the 'Sincerity Is Scary' travelator dance minus the travelator and wiggled his bum with wild abandon during 'Love Me', which was, apparently, a last minute addition to the set, having informed the crowd, "We're gonna play you some extra songs because we've had a drink." That drink was likely tequila – they earlier told NME they visited an agave farm on the trip up to Monterrey.
Before 'Love Me', the anthem of narcissists everywhere, Healy playfully insisted everyone pay him their undivided attention. "I will genuinely resent any attention on other people," he scolded. "And it's not about ego it's… Hey! Be quiet, have some respect! I'm trying to do my thing!"
But it wasn't all joking around. The pitch-shifting, Kanye-like 'I Like America And America Likes Me' was performed with such intensity that, by the end of it, Healy was collapsed in a puddle on the stage, like a deflated balloon. An epic 'I Always Wanna Die (Sometimes) and a ferocious 'Love It If We Made It' further ramped up the drama, and the show ended with the brilliant pronouncement that closed their recent run of arena shows, up on the big screen: "ROCK & ROLL IS DEAD. GOD BLESS."
Arctic Monkeys at Pal Norte 2019 (Jenn Five/NME)
But if rock & roll really is dead, then nobody told the thousands of Arctic Monkeys fans over at the bigger Tecate Light stage. The band are, clearly, huge news in Mexico – we lost count of how many people were wearing Monkeys T-shirts of various eras. Seen back-to-back, The Monkeys' show highlighted the differences between Britain's two biggest contemporary 'guitar bands'. Where The 1975's show is an explosion of colour, Arctic Monkeys perform flanked by black and white screens; The 1975's stage set is restless and ever-changing, but watching The Monkeys is like peering into their rehearsal room: elements are static, but there's an intimacy to it that's rare in a huge, outdoor show.
And as with last year's run of UK shows, the setlist somehow manages to cohere the different ages of ape into a thrilling whole, blending the sci-fi loungecore of 2018's 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino' with their spiky earlier material. It's a show that's so well rehearsed that drummer Matt Helders can sip a pint while playing, but it's utterly enthralling from start to finish: a dream Monkeys performance that rattles through 'Do I Wanna Know', 'Brianstorm', 'Snap Out Of It' and 'Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair' within the first half hour.
Beginning the show in a safari jacket and shades, Alex Turner looked every bit the louche traveller, though his language skills could use some work. "Thank you thank you muchas gracias por favor," he said at one point. No matter: we were all too interested in his hair to pay attention. Yup, it's back, and it's neither shaven, nor slicked back with your grandad's old pomade, nor quiffed up.
The set takes us to the Tranquility Base via old favourites dreamy ('Cornerstone'), sexy ('Arabella') and funky ('Why'd You Only Call Me When You're High'). Towards the end of the set, Turner tells the audience, "I don't know much about a science book, but this is a hell of a crowd." And he's right – there's Monkeys fever going on out here in Mexico.
A Day To Remember at Pal Norte 2019 (Jenn Five/NME)
If Friday was the Battle Of Britain, Saturday had more of an American flavour: both northern, central and southern American.
Representing Spanish-language music in a shared slot on the main stage were Spain's Hombres G and Argentina's Enanitos Verdes, two veteran bands who've been on a joint world tour together. Playing back-to-back, they drew arguably the biggest crowd at the whole festival. The Hombres, with their solid indie-rock sound, couldn't help but mind you of Oasis, even if lead singer David Summers, with his silver hair and glasses, seemed to be more Noel than Liam on the hell-raiser scale. Enanitos Verdes, meanwhile, dealt in epic rock, ending their set with blaring sax that brought to mind Pink Floyd in full swing. Given they've been going since 1983 and 1979 respectively, it's fair to say we're pretty slow to the party on these dudes, but hey, better late than never.
Carlos Santana at Pal Norte 2019 (Jenn Five/NME)
A Mexican-American rocker whose music did conquer British shores appeared too: the one and only Carlos Santana, who – it really goes without saying – was certainly very good at playing guitar. Backed by a full band and multiple singers, his was a joyful set that incorporated Santana classics like 'Black Magic Woman' along with campy cover versions.
Representing the Yanks, Florida's metalcore pop punks A Day To Remember put in a thrilling performance with crowd-surfing aplenty and a rare outing for their cover of Mandy Moore's 'Since You've Been Gone'. "We haven't played a show in over a year and Holly shit what an amazing way to come back," singer Jeremy McKinnon told the crowd.
Later on the same stage, LA's LANY were greeted by the kind of reaction usually reserved for boybands. Returning the adoration, frontman Paul Klein hopped in among the crowd during the very first song, and promised to come back "forever".
Kings Of Leon at Pal Norte 2019 (Jenn Five/NME)
The same energy couldn't be found from Kings Of Leon, who closed the main stage. The Nashville foursome perform with what could best be described as a grim sense of duty. There's no passion there any more, just going through the motions. Their sex fire has burned out.
So just when it seemed like a brilliant festival was going to end on a damp squib, Pal Norte delivered a little Mexican magic to send us home. Just striking up at the other side of the site were La Sonora Dinamita, a Colombian group who play the cumbia music that's enduringly popular in Central and South America, and who dress like someone who watched Strictly Come Dancing and decided the professionals could look a teeny bit jazzier. The band drew a huge crowd of young people to the stage, all of whom were dancing with each other in twos and fours and in rings. It was a sight to see.
Day two's winners, undoubtedly, were the Latin Americans.

Die Fritsch-Kaserne, ursprünglich Flak-Kaserne genannt, war eine Kaserne in Koblenz. Sie wurde 1937 als eine von mehreren Kasernenneubauten bei der Aufrüstung der Wehrmacht auf der Niederberger Höhe erbaut. 1964 wurde die Kaserne nach Werner von Fritsch umbenannt. Seit ihrer Aufgabe 1998 wird die Anlage stückweise einer neuen Nutzung zugeführt.

Geschichte

Auf der Elling genannten Erhebung im Vorfeld der Feste Ehrenbreitstein sollte in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts ein weiteres Festungswerk zur Verstärkung des Systems Oberehrenbreitstein entstehen. Zu diesem Zweck kaufte das Land Preußen das Gelände im März 1865 an. Da das Projekt wenig später zu Gunsten eines Ausbaus des Werks Nöllenkopf aufgegeben wurde, blieb der Elling unbebaut. Das Gelände wurde in der Folge als Exerzierplatz genutzt.

Erst 1937 wurde das Areal schließlich mit wenigen festen Gebäuden und einigen Baracken bebaut. Als reine Flak-Kaserne errichtet, beherbergte sie in der Folge die einzige in Koblenz stationierte Luftwaffeneinheit, die Flak-Stammbatterie. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde hier ein Lager für Displaced Persons eingerichtet, bevor die US-amerikanische (als Camp Thelen) und später die französische Armee (als Quartier Dejean) das Gelände übernahm. 1957 übergab letztere die Kaserne an die Bundeswehr. Zunächst wieder als Flak-Kaserne bezeichnet, wurde sie 1964 in Fritsch-Kaserne umbenannt.

Nachdem 1998 die letzten Soldaten die Kaserne verlassen hatten, erwarb im Jahr 2000 der Landesbetrieb Liegenschafts- und Baubetreuung Rheinland-Pfalz (LBB) Mainz etwa 18.500 m² des Geländes samt Aufbauten. Nach umfassenden Sanierungs- und Renovierungsarbeiten bezog 2001 die Verkehrsdirektion Koblenz und die damalige 22. Bereitschaftspolizeihundertschaft die Gebäude. Ein 2003 vorgestelltes Nutzungskonzept für das verbliebene Restgelände sah den Umzug der Wehrtechnischen Studiensammlung aus Koblenz-Lützel in die ehemalige Fritsch-Kaserne vor, dieser ist aber bislang nicht erfolgt. Seit 2007 befindet sich auf dem Gelände außerdem die Außenstelle Koblenz der Landesarchäologie, ein Teil des ehemaligen technischen Bereichs wird seit der Bundesgartenschau 2011 als Parkplatz genutzt. Seit Januar 2014 steht in der Diskussion, das gesamte Areal in ein neues Wohngebiet umzuwandeln. 2018 waren Verhandlungen über einen Verkauf des Geländes abgeschlossen.

Belegung

Ab 1937 war die Kaserne von der Flak-Stammbatterie belegt, wie lange die Einheit hier verblieb, ist allerdings nicht bekannt.

Während der Nutzung der Anlage durch die französische Armee war das 3. algerische Spahi-Regiment hier stationiert.

Das am 1. September 1956 auf dem Truppenübungsplatz Hohenfels aufgestellte Panzerbataillon 5 der Bundeswehr wurde am 7. Februar 1957 in die von der französischen Armee übernommene Flak-Kaserne verlegt. Am 1. Januar 1959 wurde die Einheit in "Panzerbataillon 143" umbenannt. Am 1. Juni 1969 bezog das Panzerbataillon schließlich die Augusta-Kaserne in Koblenz.

Durch Personalabgaben der Panzerkampfgruppe A 5 wurde ab 1. April 1957 die Panzerkampfgruppe C 5 in der Flak-Kaserne gebildet. Dieser Verband wurde 1959 in "Panzerbrigade 15" umbenannt. 1988 erhielt die Brigade den Beinamen "Westerwald" verliehen. Mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wurde die Brigade am 25. Juni 1993 außer Dienst gestellt. Mit der Brigade war auch deren Spähzug (Panzerspähzug 150 bzw. Brigadespähzug 15) in der Kaserne beheimatet.

Die 1956 in der Freiherr-vom-Stein-Kaserne in Diez aufgestellte Quartiermeisterkompanie 2 wurde 1957 in die Flak-Kaserne nach Koblenz verlegt und blieb am Standort bis 1959.

Am 16. Oktober 1957 wurde das Panzerbataillon 25 in der Kaserne aufgestellt. Zum 16. März 1959 erfolgte die Umbenennung in "Panzerbataillon 153". Am 1. Juli 1959 wurde das Panzerbataillon 153 geteilt, um das Panzerbataillon 14 aufzustellen. Bis zum 30. September 1992 verblieb die Einheit in der Kaserne, wurde am 1. Oktober 1992 in ein gekadertes Aufwuchsbataillon mit Führungspersonal umgegliedert und nach Westerburg verlegt. Hier wurde es am 6. September 2002 aufgelöst.

Das Panzerbataillon 14 verblieb nur einen Monat bis zum 1. August 1959 in der Flak-Kaserne und wurde sodann nach Stadtoldendorf verlegt.

Die Feldzeugdepotkompanie 606 wurde in Schloss Oranienstein in Diez 1957 aufgestellt und 1958 in die Flak-Kaserne Koblenz verlegt.

Die 2. Kompanie des Instandsetzungsbataillon 5 befand sich von 1958 bis zu ihrer Auflösung am 30. September 1993 in der Kaserne.

Am 1. Juli 1960 wurde das Korpsflugabwehrkommando 3 in der Flak-Kaserne gebildet, 1972 zum Flugabwehrkommando 3 umgegliedert und zeitweise in der Boelcke-Kaserne in Koblenz untergebracht. Dieser Verband wurde zum 30. September 1993 aufgelöst.

1962 wurde die Ausbildungskompanie 12/5 in der Flak-Kaserne aufgestellt, jedoch bereits im selben Jahr nach Schwarzenborn verlegt.

Das 1965 aufgestellte "Technische Bataillon Sonderwaffen 360", das zur Instandhaltung nuklearfähiger Waffen auf Korpsebene gebildet worden war, fand ab 1966 seine Heimat in der Kaserne. Am 1. Oktober 1975 wurde es zum Instandsetzungsbataillon Elektronik (ELO) 310 umgegliedert und existierte am Standort noch bis 1993. Es wurde im selben Jahr in Montabaur schließlich als Instandsetzungsbataillon 310 neu aufgestellt.

Das Nachschubbataillon 350 wurde als Geräteeinheit im Mobilmachungsstützpunkt der Kaserne 1970 aufgestellt, jedoch bereits 1971 nach Diez an der Lahn verlegt.

Zwischen 1972 und dem 31. Dezember 1979 beherbergte die Kaserne das Feldjägerbataillon 390. Diese Einheit wurde ab 1. Januar 1980 von der 6. Kompanie des Feldjägerbataillon 740 abgelöst, die bis 1986 in der Fritsch-Kaserne verblieb.

Am 1. Januar 1980 wurde in der Kaserne das (gemischte) Panzerbataillon 151 durch Abgaben der Panzerbataillone 153 und 154 aufgestellt. Es verblieb hier bis zu seiner Auflösung am 30. September 1992.

Die nichtaktive Panzerpioniersperrkompanie 741 war im Mobilmachungsstützpunkt der Kaserne zwischen 1980 und 1990 untergebracht.

Von 1972 bis 1981 befand sich die Nachschubkompanie 140 in der Fritsch-Kaserne,
wurde 1981 in Nachschubkompanie 340 umbenannt und blieb bis zur Auflösung 1992/93.

Zwischen dem 1. Oktober 1981 und dem Tag ihrer Auflösung, dem 31. März 1993, war in der Fritsch-Kaserne die Panzerpionierkompanie 340 stationiert.

Die Fahrschulgruppe Koblenz 6 befand sich seit den 1980er Jahren bis zum 31. März 1994 in der Kaserne. Am 1. April 1994 wurden die Fahrschulgruppen zum Kraftfahrausbildungszentrum Koblenz in der Falckenstein-Kaserne zusammengefasst.

Das Stabs- und Fernmeldebataillon 5 war am 1. August 1956 in Grafenwöhr als Panzerfernmeldebataillon 5 entstanden und am 8. März 1957 nach Niederlahnstein verlegt worden. Im Oktober 1957 bezog es die Falckenstein-Kaserne in Koblenz-Lützel. Ab 1. April 1959 erhielt die Einheit den Namen "Fernmeldebataillon 5". Von März 1969 bis zum 30. September 1993 war das Bataillon in Diez untergebracht. Mit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges wurde das Bataillon am 1. Oktober 1993 mit dem Fernmeldebataillon 330 zum Stabs- und Fernmeldebataillon 5 zusammengefasst sowie in der Fritsch-Kaserne untergebracht. Zum 1. November 1998 verließen mit dieser Einheit durch ihre Verlegung nach Niederlahnstein in die Deines-Bruchmüller-Kaserne die letzten Soldaten die Fritsch-Kaserne. Das Stabs- und Fernmeldebataillon 5 wurde in Niederlahnstein am 1. Juli 2003 zunächst in Fernmeldebataillon 283 umbenannt, erhielt aber bereits am 1. Oktober 2005 eine neue Bezeichnung als "Führungsunterstützungsbataillon 283". Am 31. März 2015 erfolgte schließlich die Auflösung.

Für die medizinische Versorgung war zwischen dem 1. Juli 1972 und dem 30. September 1997 der Sanitätsbereich 41/15 mit Material ausgestattet. Hinzu kam ab dem 1. Oktober 1966 eine Zahnstation H  014/2, die am 1. Oktober 1972 zur Zahnstation (Terr) H 416 umgegliedert und am 1. April 1981 zur Zahnarztgruppe 409/2 umbenannt wurde. Die Zahnarztgruppe wurde zum 31. Dezember 1998 aufgelöst.

Two men were incinerated in a Hellfire missile attack that evening, including Abdul-Latif Ashkar, a senior member of the Ezzedeen Al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas' military wing. Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, writes that Ashkar was reportedly a founder of Hamas' "aid and logistics department."
Hamas denied any connection to either of the dead men, but Palestinian sources contradicted this. The Palestinian Ma'an News Agency reported that Ashkar was the successor to senior Hamas terror operative Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was assassinated in Dubai last year, presumably by Israel.
The Sudanese claim to be victims of Israeli aggression. But since seizing power in 1989, the Islamist dictatorship there has collaborated with Iran. Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps helped deliver military assistance and training to Khartoum. Last year, Sudanese opposition media reported that Iran runs a weapons factory in Sudan which provides arms to Hamas.
Many of the weapons coming from Sudan cross Egypt's Sinai Peninsula and are smuggled into Gaza using sophisticated tunnels financed by Iran. Schanzer notes that Wikileaks cables show that Washington warned Sudan over the flow of Iranian arms to Gaza during the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas two years ago. A March 2009 cable showed that the United States knew of Iranian plans "to transship military equipment from Syria to Sudan, to be transferred to Hamas."
In early 2009, Israel is believed to have launched a series of raids against targets in Sudan to prevent Iranian arms smuggling into Gaza. Sudanese officials said the attacks included two airstrikes in the eastern desert and the sinking of a ship carrying weapons in the Red Sea.

← Fifty Days Until Christmas!
My soon to be three year old girl has a fever and a sour attitude. One of the cutest things she says is when she's extra sleepy and she tells me, "Momma, you're my best friend." I always let her know that she is my best girl in response.
I've been doing absolutely nothing other than holding my best girl since I got off work today and I have no time for a real post. So tomorrow I'll be back with something fancier.


NASSAU COUNTY — Authorities announced the takedown Friday of a big heroin ring that sent 23,000 heroin doses a week into Nassau County, and Queens and Brooklyn in New York, with 14 people indicted, including a former NYPD narcotics detective.
Law enforcement officials estimate they sold $170,000 a week of the narcotic.
"Our message is clear drug dealers need to know what they're putting out on the street is killing people," said Madeline Singas, Nassau County District Attorney.
One of the defendants is a retired NYPD narcotics detective, Karan Young. At the time of her arrest, Young worked for Delta Airlines. Police say Young assisted her long-time boyfriend Leigh Jackson in his narcotics distribution business by collecting money for him. Jackson is also named as a defendant.
The busts come at a time when public health officials have called the opioid epidemic the worst drug crisis in American history. Millions have been spent to battle addiction and crime from drug use. Now, counties, cities and towns across the country want some of that money back.
They're taking aim at drug manufacturers. Suffolk County has already filed a lawsuit and now Nassau County is expected to take action as well.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has called Long Island one of the three epicenters in the state when it comes to the opioid epidemic, the other two being Buffalo and Staten Island.
Nassau County has hired a law firm to sue opioid manufacturers, in an attempt to recoup some of the tax dollars used to fight addiction.
Long Island resident Tatiana Green is a recovering addict. She's been clean for six years and she now counsels others battling addiction.
"By the time I turned 22, I had already lived several lifetimes. I feel like I've already been through so many overdoses. When I was prescribed an opioid at 17 for a medical condition, I was not aware I could become addicted to it that it could lead to later heroin use," said Green.
Green agrees the drug makers should be held accountable.
2015 saw 424 fatal overdoses on Long Island. That number shot up to 493 in 2016.
Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, president of Family and Children's Association, based in Mineola, has spent his career addressing addiction. Reynolds is on Governor Cuomo's Heroin and Opioids Task Force.
"This is probably the biggest health crisis Long Island has faced in decades, the costs associated is huge. The government has been bearing the costs for that and ultimately taxpayers, while the pharmaceutical companies are quite frankly laughing all the way to the bank," said Reynolds.
"We have pharmaceutical companies that continue to churn out medication that are highly addictive and they absolutely ought to play some role in cleaning up the mess they helped create. The companies who knew 10, 20 years ago should have been clearer about the addictive quality and the potential consequences of long-term use," adds Reynolds.
He says people on Long Island have better access to prescription pain killers. When those prescriptions run out or people can no longer afford it, the addiction is already rooted. Heroin is an opioid that is cheap and readily available.
"Here on Long Island it all started with prescription pills, lots of people here on Long Island have better access to prescription pills," said Dr. Reynolds.
Reynolds also says we got to this point when officials didn't acknowledge the problem when addiction experts were sounding the alarm years ago.
"Heroin got a 10-year head start, now we are trying to catch up we are losing lot of kids along the way. We didn't take the necessary action to make sure treatment was available and accessible to everybody. There's simply no more room, treatment facilities are literally bursting at the seams with folks pleading for help or else they will die of overdoses," Reynolds said.
PIX11 received this response from Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin. Connecticut-based Purdue Pharma is one of the companies named in the suit filed by Suffolk County.
"We share public officials' concerns about the opioid crisis and we are committed to working collaboratively to find solutions. The delegation of law enforcement authority to a private law firm with a financial interest in the outcome creates serious public policy concerns and presents a clear conflict of interest."

Zoox Inc. of Bay Area has been authorized by California to carry passengers in its autonomous vehicles. It is the first state approval granted as part of a pilot program for self-driving cars.
Zoox Inc. of Bay Area has been authorized by California to carry passengers in its autonomous vehicles. It is the first state approval in the context of a pilot program for self-driving cars.
Self-driving cars, once a futuristic projection, have already become old news in California. According to the state's Motor Vehicle Authority, more than 60 companies currently have licenses to test autonomous vehicles. However, California had reached a new milestone on Friday when a self-driving startup, Zoox Inc., allowed passengers to be carried for the first time.
Zoox received its approval as part of a pilot program launched in April by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
"This is a truly, truly significant milestone on the way to commercial launch, which we said in late 2020," said Bert Kaufman, head of Corporate and Regulatory at Zoox, to Reuters  There are some catches. Zoox can not charge for the trips and each autonomous vehicle or AV must have a certified backup driver.
A sister program launched by the Commission will allow self-driving cars in California to transport passengers without a ba c kup driver. Zoox is currently the only company operating in either program.
Self-driving cars could disrupt entire sectors of the economy, according to Sam Schwartz, the former New York traffic officer and author of the book "No One At The Wheel: Driverless Cars And The Road Of The Future."
"I think everyone expects fewer drivers and that's no surprise," said Schwartz in an interview with Terry Gross recently. "But it also means that there will probably be fewer repair shops … AVs are suitable for fleet operations, especially when they offer trips instead of selling maximum vehicles, so car dealers can disappear."
He suggested that freight companies could lose their business, but the advertising industry could thrive as drivers become increasingly free to turn their attention away from the road to their smart devices.
Critics have now expressed practical and ethical concerns about the dangers of self-driving cars. Earlier this year, a self-propelled Uber Technologies test vehicle hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Ariz. This incident prompted Republican Governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, to suspend Uber's test drives.
Some researchers argue that autonomous vehicles can be trained to be safer than human drivers. Other experts say the limited data from self-driving cars hampers any comparison attempts.
In both cases, self-driving cars on public roads are already a growing presence. The World Atlas of Autonomous Vehicles in Cities covers at least 80 cities that control or plan to test autonomous vehicles. These vehicle fleets collect data and control the practical problems of driving in cities. A video from Zoox shows one of his cars overtaking a parked vehicle in a narrow San Francisco street.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, has that Self-dominated vehicle market, as Reuters reports. The California DMV gave permission to Alphabet's autonomous vehicle division, Waymo, to begin driverless testing on public roads in October, the company said.
Waymo also started a passenger service in Phoenix earlier this month. The Waymo One service charges its customers fully automated rides. In some cases, the company's cars already work without replacement drivers.

Bloomberg At It Again
With Super Bowl Sunday approaching, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has demonstrated why he would fail as an NFL head coach. While most coaches modify their playbooks to adapt to their opponents, Bloomberg simply dusts off his tired, old plays, game after game.
In 2007, Mayor Bloomberg initiated a number of "Simulated Straw Purchases" at Virginia gun shows. In response, then-Virginia Attorney General (now Governor) Bob McDonnell sent Mayor Bloomberg a letter to remind him that Virginia's House Bill 2653–which prohibits gun dealer entrapment schemes such as those orchestrated by the Mayor–was set to go into effect just a couple of short months after Bloomberg initiated his sting operations. Attorney General McDonnell warned that Bloomberg and his agents could face legal action and be charged with a felony if they did not cease their dubious sting operations. All of this occurred right around the time of the Virginia Tech shootings.
Fast forward to the present day, and Hizzoner is at it again--this time sending his operatives to Arizona, site of another horrific criminal act, to conduct "simulated straw purchases." And a FoxNews.com article this week reported that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer slammed Bloomberg, saying it was interesting that the mayor has enough spare time on his hands to come to Arizona to launch a sting operation. Brewer said, "He's out here in Arizona solving our problems. I guess he believes that he has solved all the problems in New York."
The article went on to note that Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio wondered why Bloomberg didn't notify his office about any alleged violations.
"Why is Mayor Bloomberg concerned about law enforcement in my county? Maybe I should send undercover deputies to New York," Arpaio tweeted on his Real Sheriff Joe Twitter account.
For her part, Brewer said she has no intention of sending investigators to spy on New York.
"I'll let him take care of his state," she said of Bloomberg.
Bloomberg's latest undercover campaign is nothing more than another exploitive attack on the non-existent gun show "loophole" and an attempt to bolster his anti-gun political agenda.
Rest assured, NRA-ILA is monitoring Bloomberg's reactivation of these undercover stings and will be working on legislation in Arizona and other states to outlaw this activity as we did in Virginia.
BATFE Accused Of Fatal Failure To Follow Up On Suspicious Sales


A new study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that pneumatic controllers on oil and natural gas wells in Utah may produce significantly less methane emissions than the agency previously assumed. EPA's recent study on pneumatic controllers in the Uinta Basin in Utah found that measured emissions from equipment in the basin were well below the estimated emission factors the agency uses to calculate greenhouse gas inventories, which are the basis for global reporting on air emissions.
The threat of a major snowstorm is already putting Denver-area climate marches on ice. With the Washington Post reporting on how the "sweltering heat" in our nation's capital is providing a relevant backdrop for the "People's Climate March" tomorrow, the foot of snow expected in Colorado tomorrow has already postponed one of the several planned protests in the state.
In the week since Western Wire first covered a Boulder Daily Camera letter to the editor that called for violence toward oil and natural gas workers, the list of those denouncing the letter and the newspaper for publishing it has grown to include local residents, a bipartisan spectrum of elected officials, media outlets, and industry representatives.
The Boulder, Colo.-based letter writer who called for "eliminating" oil and natural gas workers and told a media outlet that he "wouldn't have a problem" with the murder of workers in the oil and natural gas industry now reportedly fears for his own safety and is asking for protection. "The anti-fracking activist from Boulder County who suggested blowing up wells and 'eliminating' energy workers is now asking for protection," Denver TV news station 9News anchor Kyle Clark reported yesterday evening.

In 2009, the Minister for the Environment ordered a Section 24A investigation into the performance of the Far North District Council. This page provides information about the review, including the terms of reference and review team biographies. It also includes a link to the final review report.
About the review
During the 2007/08 financial year, the Far North District Council (FNDC) processed 37 per cent of resource consents within the statutory timeframes. The Ministry for the Environment contracted Cowie Resource Management Ltd and Hill Young Cooper Ltd to carry out an investigation into what steps the Council had taken since that time to improve its processes and advise on any additional improvements that were required. The final report presenting the findings of the review can be viewed at:
Section 24A RMA Investigation of the Consent Processing Performance of the Far North District Council: An Investigation of the Council's Performance in the 2007/08 year
Terms of reference for the review
1. Purpose of Investigation
1.1. The purpose of this investigation is to identify what has led to the councils' poor performance record over the last year and identify possible solutions.
2. Scope of the Investigation
2.1. The investigation will cover the following factors.
Applications: guidance for applicants and use of section 92
Analysis of consent processing systems and practices
Council staffing and use of resources

The Nigerian Army has dismissed a video clip released by Boko Haram terrorist group from an undisclosed location on Thursday, showing its purported leader, making spurious claims.In the video, the man usually identified as Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, reportedly claimed that reports of the group being crushed by the Nigerian Army during the capture of its Sambisa forest stronghold Camp Zero were untrue.
He also claimed that the group is safe and far away from any location where the Nigerian military can capture its members or defeat it.
The Acting Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Usman, said that effort is ongoing to subject the video for further forensic analysis to determine its authenticity.
He maintained that the Nigerian Army "has captured and occupied the last known stronghold of the terrorists group in the Sambisa forest".
"Therefore, there is no cause for alarm, more so as concerted effort in clearing the vestiges of Boko Haram terrorists wherever they might be hiding is still ongoing.
"Our gallant troops deployed in various parts of the northeast have continued to intensify search for all persons associated with Boko Haram terrorist group with a view to bring them to justice.
"Consequently, the public are hereby enjoined to go about their normal lawful business, remain vigilant and security conscious.
President Buhari, had in his Christmas message to Nigerians, announced Boko Haram's "final crushing" in Sambisa forest.
President Buhari said the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, informed him that the last camp fell at about 1:35 p.m on Friday, December 23.

Q: How do continuous integration and automated tests look in practice? I know what unit testing is, why it should be used and how to write them. However, I'm not sure do I understand the terms "automated tests" and "Continuous integration" correctly. I have some general understanding about those but would like to know how do they look in practice, for example in PHP (or at least in other languages). So:

*

*Is the term "automated testing" the same as "unit testing"? Or "automated testing" should be considered as a collection of unit test classes?

*"Continuous integration" is just a matter of organizing the work in dev team and its goal is to have a most-recent AND tested software revision at the end of each day. So, everybody should put his code into codebase frequently (for example at the end of every working day), and also, everybody should commit they unit tests into some test manager that runs all unit tests (performs automated testing). So, after automated testing (execution of all unit tests) and hot-fixing bugs at the end of day, we have a shippable software code revision.

A: Automated tests vs. unit tests: my understanding is that unit tests are a sub-category of automated tests. As the name suggests, automated tests are tests that do not require human intervention to run: a machine should be able to run them. Unit tests are a subset of them: they verify a single unit of functionality. The best definition I saw for them was by Kent Beck: "if a test fails, how many things could be wrong? the closer the answer is to 1, the more "unit-y" the test is." Other automated tests could be integration tests, which will tell you that the app doesn't behave altogether as expected, but doesn't necessarily tell you which piece of the app is defective.
Continuous integration is about limiting "integration hell", aka "but it works on my machine!". Instead of hoping that multiple developers always make sure that their changes stay in sync with the whole team effort and that they didn't break the application, continuous integration strives to have a "defensive" repository mechanism, that is, every time someone commit, the repository makes sure that nothing is broken. At a minimum, this involves making sure that the latest commit still builds, at best, it also enforces that existing functionality is still there, by running automated tests.

A: Unit Testing != Automated testing
Unit testing is pretty old. It's verifying (tiny) units (methods, classes) of your code work as expected. e.g. Verifying boundary conditions, logical paths, etc. Thus unit-testing can be manual as well.. e.g. you key in some inputs and manually verify that it works.
Automated testing is tests that don't require a human to execute the tests or interpret the results. So these are tests that can be run on command and will tell you if everything works as expected or not. Automated tests could be automated unit tests or they could be system level / acceptance tests or performance tests or anything else...
CI
You're pretty close... except that it isn't at the end of the day, it's almost all the time. The main purpose of a CI build is quick feedback (Bonus: a potentially shippable revision of the software at all times) and less time integrating everyone's changes. Whenever someone makes a check-in, the CI mechanism would check out all the source, build to check for compilation errors and then most probably kick off unit tests and finally some system level tests. This way, a bad check-in / failures are detected as early as possible (and in some cases, you configure it such that the check-in never gets into version control i.e. reverted).

A: I'm still getting used to the terms myself, but my understanding of CI and automated testing is that as you push code, tests are being run.
We use Jenkins with HipChat integration, so every time someone pushes to GitHub, Jenkins runs the tests and lets us know, sometimes loudly, if the build has been broken.

Social Responsibility in Marketing
Most marketing organizations do not intentionally work in isolation from the rest of society. Instead they find that greater opportunity exists if the organization is visibly accessible and involved with the public. As we've seen, because marketing often operates as the "public face" of an organization, when issues arise between the public and the organization marketing is often at the center. In recent years the number and variety of issues raised by the public has increased. One reason for the increase is the growing perception that marketing organizations are not just sellers of product but also have an inherent responsibility to be more socially responsible, including being more responsible for its actions and more responsive in addressing social concerns.
Being socially responsible means an organization shows concern for the people and environment in which it transacts business. It also means that these values are communicated and enforced by everyone in the organization and, in some cases, with business partners, such as those that sell products to the company (e.g., supplier of raw material for product production) and those that help the company distribute and sell to other customers (e.g., retail stores).
In addition to insuring these values exist within the organization and its business partners, social responsibility may also manifest itself in the support of social causes that help society. For instance, marketers may sponsor charity events, produce cause-related advertising, or create new products that are specifically intended to serve as fundraisers.
Marketers who are pursuing a socially responsible agenda should bear in mind that such efforts do not automatically translate into increased revenue or even an improved public image. However, organizations that consistently exhibit socially responsible tendencies may eventually gain a strong reputation that could pay dividends in the form of increased customer loyalty.

Q: Choice of box size and weights for a forest plot from random effects meta-analysis I am doing a random-effects meta-analysis where the variable is measured in standardized mean differences.  The actual measures vary, but are related to drug use in rats and control vs. treatment.  I used SMD because the measures vary in scale.
For the forest plot, I am considering how to scale the size of the boxes for each study and for the overall effect.
There doesn't seem to be a standard method - some use sample size (bigger samples = wider boxes), some use inverse of the variance (smaller variance, wider boxes), some use the Der Simonian Laird estimates (which modify inverse variance by adding a constant) and some use "quality" of a study (with quality being defined in various ways).
Is there a current best practice?
What are the pros and cons of each of the above (or any others)?

A: How to scale the squares in a forest plot?
I'd argue for scaling the size (area) of the squares proportional to the weight that the study contributed to the meta-analysis. By scaling by weight, the area of the square is a direct visual cue of the relative impact a study had on the summary effect. The weight is among other things proportional to the standard error (precision) which, in turn, is usually (but not always!) directly related to the study sample size.  This makes the most sense to me because the forest plot is a visual display of a statistical analysis which, in effect, is a weighted mean. Scaling by quality seems problematic to me because quality is difficult to measure objectively and the summary effect is not calculated using "quality-weights" (at least I've never seen it).
This seems to be supported by a number of authors. Steff Lewis and Mike Clarke$^{[1]}$ go into the history of the forest plot and write

The area of each square was proportional to the weight that the
  individual study contributed to the meta analysis.

Michael Borenstein et al.$^{[2]}$ recommend the same when they explain

[...] the point is a box, proportional (in area) to that study's
  weight in the analysis.

This is again mirrored in Jonathan Sterne's book$^{[3]}$:

The size of the plotting symbol for the point estimate in each study is proportional to the weight that each trial contributes in the meta-analysis.

Lastly, in The Handbook of Research Synthesis and Meta-Analysis$^{[4]}$ we read

In this plot, each study is represented by a square, bounded on either side by a confidence interval. The location of each square on the horizontal axis represents the effect size for that study. The confidence interval represents the precision with which the effect size has been estimated, and the size of each square is proportional to the weight that will be assigned to the study when computing the combined effect.

A disadvantage of this approach becomes obvious when you want to present the results of a fixed-effects and a random-effects meta-analysis (or just two different analysis methods) in the same forest plot. Different analysis methods likely assign different weights to the studies and so the scaling of the area of the squares becomes ambiguous.
Estimators of between-study variance: Which one to use?
The metafor package for R offers no less than nine different estimators for the amount of heterogeneity:

*

*DerSimonian-Laird

*Hedges

*Hunter-Schmidt

*Sidik-Jonkman

*Maximum-likelihood

*Restricted maximum-likelihood (REML)

*Empirical Bayes

*Paule-Mandel

*Generalized Q-statistic

Descriptions of these estimators can be found in references $[4, 5, 6, 7, 8]$. The question remains which one to use? Veroniki et al.$^{[7]}$ and Langan et al.$^{[8]}$ recommend the Paule-Mandel estimator or restricted maximum likelihood based on simulation studies. A never publication by Langan et al.$^{[9]}$ made the following recommendations:

SAN FRANCISCO (AP/KTVU) -- Ray "Bones" Bandar, a retired high school science teacher who kept 6,000 animal skulls in his San Francisco home, has died. He was 90.
Faylene Bandar tells the San Francisco Chronicle that her uncle died from congestive heart failure on Dec. 23 at his home.
Bandar began stocking his home with bones when he and his wife bought it in 1965. His skull collection 1,700 California sea lions, 1,000 birds, 120 black bears, 24 breeds of dogs, 12 leopards, nine giraffes, six hippos and six rhinos.
Bandar also had 200 pelvises, a great white shark jaw, a monkey mummy and moose antlers he kept in a bathtub.
He provided displays to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, where he was a volunteer field associate for 60 years.
In 2014, a skull exhibit at the Academy contained much of his collection.

Joining Forces: PEDS merges with Atlanta Bicycle Coalition to advocate for safer streets
by Clare S. Richie September 29, 2021
Atlanta Streets Alive (Photo by Steve Eberhardt)
Two nonprofits dedicated to sustainable transportation advocacy for more than two decades, the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition and PEDS, have merged.
"The newly united organization remains committed to championing an Atlanta where everyone moves safely, easily, and sustainably throughout the city," said Rebecca Serna, executive director of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition. "Regardless of your mode of transportation or your ability challenges, it's all about giving people more options and making those options equitable and accessible."
Over the past few years, Serna noticed a generational shift in how people approached transportation.
"Previously, I heard from people who said, 'I'm a pedestrian; I'm a cyclist'," Serna said. "Then, I started to hear from people more, 'I just want to get around the city in the way that makes the most sense for me on any given day'."
For the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition, which started the popular Atlanta Streets Alive event and bike valet service at Atlanta United games and local festivals, it just made sense for "two small organizations with really big goals for Atlanta" to join forces.
"Whether you are walking, biking, using a wheelchair or hopping on a scooter, a lot of the issues and barriers are the same when it comes to safety," Serna said. "Particularly when it comes to high-speed streets and speeding drivers."
Prior to the merger, the nonprofits partnered on common issues. For example, PEDS conducted data analysis that found most pedestrian fatalities occurred at transit stops. Another critical research finding was Atlanta's High-Injury Network report, completed by John Saxton and delivered to the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition in 2018. Saxton's research found that less than eight percent of Atlanta streets contributed to 88 percent of Atlanta's fatal crashes due to dangerous high-speed driving on streets where people are walking or rolling to connect to transit.
"That's an example of community members and organizations working together to research the issues, raise awareness, and urge local agencies to make concrete physical improvements to streets," Serna said. "That's something that we've been able to carry forward." And Serna expects to continue to build on PEDS' knowledge and expertise on pedestrian issues.
Several PEDS board members now serve on the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition's Governing Board and others were invited to join its advisory council. PEDS was dissolved after the asset transfer to the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition.

"We are committed to continuing our mission of making streets and communities in Georgia safe, inviting, and accessible to all pedestrians through this merger," said Carolyn H. Rader, former board chair of PEDS.
The roots of the merger can be traced back to 2019, when the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition updated its strategic plan and broadened its focus.
"We expanded our goals to include streets safe for walking, biking, and transit," says Naoya Wada, board chair of the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition." As a result, we adopted a new mission statement: to reclaim Atlanta's streets as safe, inclusive, and thriving spaces for people to ride, walk, and roll."
The pandemic in 2020 added a sense of urgency as nonprofits "took a hard look at their operations and asked themselves if they could be run more efficiently by merging or partnering differently," per Serna.
Post-merger, advocacy will mostly remain local.
"Our geographic focus is primarily on the City of Atlanta" Serna said. "Adding transit advocacy is pulling us more in the regional direction but we want to be very measured and make sure we can deliver on our goals."
At the state level, the merged nonprofit will continue to partner with Georgia Bikes and advocate for the Georgia Department of Transportation to improve safety on state-owned roads.
"Georgia Bikes has lobbied at the state level for bicycle and pedestrian safety legislation, for example, getting speed cameras in school zones," Serna said. "That's something we worked on with Georgia Bikes and PEDS. I recently learned that the City of Atlanta and APS have finally come to an agreement to have speed cameras installed in school zones."

In preparation of the Nov. 2 municipal elections and change in governance, the Atlanta Bicycle Coalition has developed a policy agenda, posted mayoral and city council candidate responses to their questionnaire and hosted candidate forums called TransFormation Tuesdays. The mayoral forum is scheduled for Oct. 25 and additional forums may be added before the anticipated Nov. 30 runoffs.
"All forums are recorded and available online [atlantabike.org/transformationtuesdays]," Serna said. "We're promoting them as a resource for people to dip into as their time and schedule permits."
Another priority for 2021 is to create an infrastructure project tracker.
"This is part of our goal to hold our elected officials and city accountable for building planned projects," Serna said. "We will release the first set of projects we're tracking in October".
And in 2022, look for the merged organization to announce its new name at the annual Blinkie Awards event.
"What the merger has done is positioned us for growth," Serna said.
