Being an engineering student, Jason might be one of the exceptional student who willing to experience international diplomatic event like the UN General Assembly Role Play. Let's see what an engineering student gained from an event that is out of his comfort zone!
"Why do you need to join the UN General Assembly Role Play? Isn't that only suitable for social science students?". This question was asked to me when I decided to participate in the INU Student Seminar on Global Citizenship and Peace. It was not a big surprise for me, to be asked such question. Knowing that I am an Information Science and Engineering student, some people might think it is not likely for engineering student like me to participate in the UN General Assembly discussion. In my defense, I decided to apply because I wanted to have a new perspective. Studying engineering has shaped me to see everything from engineering perspective only, including problem solving. Meanwhile, I believe, one problem could be solved from different angles. Thus, in this article, I would like to share my experience and the benefit that I gained by join an event that is out of my comfort zone: INU Student Seminar on Global Citizenship and Peace in Hiroshima, Japan.
First of all, this event was organized by INU (International Network Universities). It is a global universities network consists of 13 universities from different countries. Usually, each country only has one representative university. Nonetheless, Japan has two representative universities: Hiroshima University and Ritsumeikan University. How about Indonesia? Indonesia has one representative university: Parahyangan Catholic University (Universitas Katolik Parahyangan), Bandung. Moreover, there are other universities which are members of the INU network, for example, James Madison University (USA), Flinders University (AUS), Kingston University (UK), and many more.

Every year, INU holds a student seminar to discuss a specific issue. This year, the theme of the seminar was "Food and Water Insecurity". It was held on 4-12 August 2018. Hiroshima University hosted this student seminar. Therefore, the main activities were located in Hiroshima University, East Hiroshima (Higashi-Hiroshima), Japan. There were about 80 student participants, 11 facilitators and role play chair, 3 guest speakers, and still more committees from Hiroshima University. Most student participants came from Hiroshima University. Usually, there will be more than one participant from Ritsumeikan University (my campus where I currently do my bachelor degree). However, unfortunately, this year I was the only delegate from Ritsumeikan University. Additionally, this student seminar also held a Master's summer school for master students who would like to present their researches.
The event was actually split into two different parts. On the first two days (5-6 August 2018), delegates were given chances to travel to Hiroshima city. First, we on August 6th we attended the Peace Memorial Ceremony to commemorate the atomic bomb incident in Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. Then, we joined workshops and guest lectures about "Food and Water Insecurity". In the mean time, we also had to prepare for the final activity of INU event: the UN General Assembly role play on August 12th.
Beginning from the fun part first, I will share some experiences of traveling in Hiroshima. Unfortunately, Hiroshima got a disaster in previous months. There was a long-term raining which caused some damages, such as landslides and terribly broken railways. Due to this fact, it was slightly difficult to commute from Hiroshima University to Hiroshima city. Since the railway is broke, I had to take a bus from Hiroshima city back to Higashi-Hiroshima area. The problem is, the bus only came once per hour and the last bus was at about 9 PM. Another option is by taking a shinkansen. However, shinkansen costed more than a bus, although the shinkansen is available until midnight. Despite some troubles, I was still excited to travel in Hiroshima for the first time.
On August 5th, we went to the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. This museum has all historical information about the atomic bomb incident. Started by the landscapes of Hiroshima before and after the A-bomb incident, the museum tells the stories of the A-bomb incident – complete with the display of the stuff from A-bomb victims at the end of the museum route. After spending for around one hour, we got a chance to listen to an atomic bomb survivor, Mrs. Keiko Ogura. She shared her experience about how miserable it was when the incident occurred. She sent a message especially to young generations to always keep peace and not to let another disaster happens like what Hiroshima experienced 63 years ago.
On the next day, as I stated before, I had a chance to attend the Peace Memorial Ceremony. It was an honor for me to watch the ceremony in a very close distance at Peace Memorial Park. The ceremony was also attended by the Prime Minister of Japan, Mayor of Hiroshima city, Governor of Hiroshima Prefecture, and a representative from the United Nations. Although it was a hot sunny day in summer, everyone was following the ceremony solemnly. After the ceremony finished, I went with some Japanese friends and my high school friend who was coincidentally also a delegate, to Miyajima island. It is an iconic place for tourists in Hiroshima. It was fun and I enjoyed eating Momiji Manju, a special cookie from Hiroshima.

On August 7th, I started to attend workshops as well as preparing documents for the UN General Assembly. I belonged to "Niger" country group (it is not "Nigeria" but "Niger"). There were 10 countries to be played in the general assembly including Niger. Furthermore, I volunteered myself to be a communication director for receiving information or sending information regarding the UN General Assembly. My group was facilitated by Dr. Wayne Teel Stephen from James Madison University, USA. His geographical background and experience of living in Kenya for about 8 years really helped us a lot in understanding "Niger" situation. For those of you who do not understand how UN General Assembly works, relax! I also had no idea when I first joined this event.
The panel started when the communication director received a draft resolution from the UN role play chair. Then, it would be shared with the fellow group members to be discussed. In about two days, each group needed to send two amendments. On the final amendment, each group needed to send one amendment. As a result, the days before the general assembly day, each group had to compromise and made a coalition to have voted. Therefore, on the general assembly day, each clause of draft resolutions would be discussed thoroughly to have a final draft resolution.
Personally, speaking from a Nigerien (citizens of Niger) and an engineering student perspective, I learned a lot from this experience. I am certain that each of the delegates experienced slightly different things, dependent on which country was represented. Niger has the second lowest HDP (human development index) in the world. Thus, it was difficult for us to gain alliances during the discussion. Another thing that I want to mention is this was the first time for me to be involved in a UN General Assembly role play. I did not have any backgrounds about UN or how to interpret the draft resolution itself. Fortunately, I had very kind friends who would like to explain to me if there were some unclear points. Lastly, being a communication director also trained my ability to communicate in English. All in all, I truly enjoyed joining this general assembly role play.

Specifically, I appreciate Japanese students who were willing to help and give big efforts to this event. They were very patient and helpful in guiding foreign students while traveling in Hiroshima city. They were also involved in the UN General Assembly preparation, which I believe was not an easy task to do. There were some unfamiliar English vocabularies used on the draft resolution. Nevertheless, they join the discussion. Even in the General Assembly day, they also spoke to express their opinions.
The last thing that I would like to share is, I was happy to gain more friends. First, when I told them that I am Indonesian, they assumed that I represented Parahyangan Catholic University. I had to explain to them that I am an Indonesian who studies in another Japanese university. Moreover, I had many chances to speak Japanese too especially to Japanese friends. I know my Japanese ability was not good enough, but they seemed very happy to see my attempt. I also have new friends from Indonesia which I met in this event.
Finally, I would say that UN General Assembly is not only for those of you who have related backgrounds (i.e. International Relation major). Therefore, just believe on what you want to do. Whether you come from an engineering backgrounds or social science background, if you want to learn about new things, I can assure you that you will get precious experience by joining the UN General Assembly. I hope this article enlightens you!

City Pool Committee Formed
At the Streets, Buildings & Grounds Committee meeting of February 10, 2020, Terry Parker, Chairman of the Vermilion Parks & Recreation Board, explained they have created a subcommittee to the Parks Board. The subcommittee consists of himself and Dennis Brudney from the Parks Board; Marc Weisenberger, Parks Supervisor (Co-Chair); Bob Cunicella, Pool Manager; Brian Holmes, City Council; Tony Valerius, Service Director; and, Jim Forthofer, Mayor (Ex-officio). They held their first meeting on January 21, 2020. Their target is to have a recommendation on what the future of the pool is for the Parks Board, City Council, and the community by January 1, 2021.
He said they have looked at what different communities have done in terms of how they handled looking at the future of their water facilities.
He pointed out nine objectives as follows:
1. Review pool usage the last two years - 1,030 individuals in 2018 - 1,150 in 2019 (increase due in part to closing of the pool at Maude Neiding Park in Amherst).
2. Gather and evaluate community demographics - age groupings, location, including school data which is progress. They will look going forward at the age groups of the kids coming up and different class sizes.
3. Have present facility and equipment professionally evaluated (potential expert vendors have been identified).
4. Establish solid cost estimates for repairs. There were some estimates last spring, but they don't know what's under the pool. The deck needs to be replaced, but the question is what they will find when they dig it up.
5. Explore options for modernization, features, location - create concept plans and get prices. He said they will explore costs if they were to add a spray zero-entry area walking down into the pool.
6. Gather input via public meetings and surveys.
7. Identify and pursue funding sources for repairs and capital improvements (grants, sponsorships, private donations). He said he knows what the city and parks board checkbook look like, and the Park Capital Levy does not have the money that would be close to what they heard the costs would be in the spring.
8. Pursue management strategies to control expenses, and mechanisms to provide ongoing operating funds – critical for the future of the pool. He said the pool revenue runs anywhere from $16,000 to $18,000 annually and it costs $52,000 to $55,000 to operate the pool. He said they can't budget this out of the general fund on an annual basis, nor can they do it from the operating levy, so what are they going to do long-term so that they don't have to do this crisis management every year or two and ask the community to donate so they can have a pool. They will try to look at things to recommend in terms of a strategy because if the pool is going to have a future, they need to figure this aspect out. He said this year they will operate the pool with a minimum of capital repairs – just to be able to have the pool open. The Pool Manager said they can do some quick concrete work on the deck to get them through another summer. They've already agreed they will put a new roof on the pool house because there is some expensive equipment stored in it. The current heater is adequate, and they have a heater that was donated, and it will cost about $4,000 to hook it up when needed. Memberships and daily admissions alone haven't operated the pool in the past and won't in the future.
9. To operate the pool in 2020 with minimal necessary repairs, sharing the operating expenses (beyond pool revenue and donations) 50-50 between the General Fund and Parks Operating Levy. Guestimate $36,000 - $38,000 total.
Monica Stark, Council at Large, thanked everyone who is involved with taking the time to try to keep the pool open. She is a big supporter of the pool and feels it's important to the community and the children. Council Member Brian Holmes echoed her sentiments.
Mayor Forthofer said he has been reluctant to keep throwing money or begging for money, but wholly endorses this approach, which is overdue. He said a fact-based analysis is important when making sound judgments based on facts. He doesn't mind spending the money to get through this year if this is what they're pursuing.
Holmes encouraged family members to sign up for memberships. He asked if they could start signing up now. Parker said memberships were down in 2019 from the previous year due to the weather. They haven't made a recommendation on rates this year, but for the traffic they have and raising the daily admission a dollar and memberships, it won't change the dynamic of what they're working with. They don't want to price people out of going to the pool. Currently, those over 65 years old are free, and those under three years old. Daily admissions for youth pay $5 a day, and over 12 or 14 years of age is $6 per daily visit. The vast amount of people in terms of regular use are people that have memberships. The same names show up almost every day on the sign in sheets. Mayor Forthofer said Parker spent days adding up the number of people who use the pool.
Council Member Barb Brady asked Parker if he knows where people are coming from. Parker said this information is not tracked, but is something they can track as they move forward.

AMHERST, Mass.–The Yiddish Book Center has announced that it has made Isaac Bashevis Singer's Yiddish works free and available online through the Yiddish Book Center's Steven Spielberg Digital Yiddish Library.
The Yiddish originals were never widely distributed and often differ significantly from their more familiar English versions, which Singer reworked for an American audience. The availability of these works was made possible by permission of the Singer Estate.
The issue of Pakn Treger—"Isaac Bashevis Singer: Relaunching Our Greatest Storyteller"—includes articles about the discovery in Poland of printing plates that are the only remaining artifact of Singer's earliest known work; a piece about Singer's childhood obsession with a series of Yiddish detective novels; an interview with photographer Bruce Davidson, who directed Singer in a little-known art film, "Isaac Singer's Nightmare and Mrs. Pupko's Beard," based on a short story by the writer, who also stars in the film; as well as a compendium in which contemporary writers write about their favorite Singer story.
Pakn Treger, a print-publication, is available by subscription to Yiddish Book Center members.

Seven years after their last studio album Return To Heaven Denied Pt. II: A Midnight Autumn's Dream, Italian power metal veterans LABYRINTH are finally back with their new, self-produced album Architecture Of A God. Founded in the Tuscan town Massa in 1991, LABYRINTH became one of the power metal protagonists when the sub-genre enjoyed a growing popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s, especially over here Europe. The band's history has been marked by many line-up changes with quite a number of stellar musicians joining and leaving LABYRINTH, whose dramatis personae includes illustrious names such as vocalists Fabio Lione, who, after leaving the band, joined RHAPSODY (OF FIRE), as well as Mark Boals, probably best known for his work with Yngwie Malmsteen. The new LABYRINTH line-up is composed of Roberto Tiranti (lead vocals), Olaf Thorsen (lead guitars), Andrea Cantarelli (lead guitars), Nik Mazzucconi (bass guitar) and Oleg Smirnoff (keyboards).
If you're looking for epic sounds, breathtaking vituosity, soaring vocals, catchy melodies and an occasional dash of cheesiness, then power metal is your genre. If you're looking for originality, complexity in rhythm, harmony and arrangement, you may not so easily find all that in power metal, of course, you turn to the new LABYRINTH release. Amongst typical power metal numbers combining awesome playing with extremely melodic hook lines – like the opener "Bullets", the up-tempo "Take On My Legacy" and "Stardust And Ashes" – there are many prog-infused moments that make this solid power metal album special. There is, for example, "Still Alive", a catchy mid-tempo rocker that is built on a solid bass guitar groove and whose synth and acoustic guitar sounds add sonic depth it while Roberto Tiranti's high note at the end of the last chorus may pose a serious threat to your glass windows.
. Like many albums of that genre, LABYRINTH's Architecture Of A God tends to be on the border of being slightly overproduced and some parts do suffer from too much keyboards and too many power metal clichés – at least for my taste. Nevertheless, it is a great sounding record with many surprising moments, exciting ideas and superb playing and singing.

A small crowd and two news cameras watched the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) release two turtles this morning at Cape May Point State Park. King Tide, a Kemp's ridley sea turtle, had been rehabilitated by the New England Aquarium in Boston since his rescue in Cape Cod last December. He is their last release from the 2016 stranding season. The second was a green turtle rescued from the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The turtles were released in Cape May at outgoing tide and will swim to warmer southern waters.
The Kemp's ridley sea turtle is a critically endangered species and is rarest of sea turtles. King Tide underwent surgery for an infected joint in his fore flippers and was fully recovered before his release. Green sea turtles are also endangered.
The MMSC is a non-profit organization that rescues sick and injured marine mammals and sea turtles. Since they began in 1978, they have responded to over 4,800 strandings and handled nearly 2,000 turtles. Find out more about them on their website mmsc.org.

In recent years, as town boards have enacted building moratoriums on major subdivisions, developers have been able to use 'senior housing' as an expedient end-run around zoning. In regards to Senior Housing Southeast has very loose zoning regulations. In fact, all senior housing is located in the OP-2 (office park) zone. This allows a developer to build a larger number of units per site, rather than if they were located in a residential zone. Because of this there are over 1200 units of proposed senior housing in front of the Carmel and Southeast Planning Boards.
Senior housing is an attempt to allow seniors to age gracefully in their community. Senior housing in NYS includes some type of age restriction for ownership (over 55). Senior housing should provide common amenities, such as community buildings, various forms of recreation, and walkable destinations. The community should also be situated near non-senior housing to allow for interaction with other age groups.
Senior housing at Terravest, as proposed, does not provide any of the aforementioned amenities. By placing the units in the OP-2 zone (office park) seniors will be isolated and placed in an out-of-the-way location. The Terravest proposal calls for 60 senior units across Zimmer Road from the Ace Endico plant currently under construction. In addition this community will be bisected by the sewage treatment plant for Terravest l, ll and lll.
While Senior Housing sounds wonderful in theory there are definite disadvatages to the current law in Southeast.
For example, if the developer is unable to market the units to seniors it is possible to obtain a Special Permit from the town allowing the developer to open the housing to all.Also, age discrimination suits may be successfully brought if the housing does not truly fit the definition of Senior Housing. Thus opening up the units to all age groups.
Heritage Hills, a case in point, was originally an adult community until several successful lawsuits found that it discriminated against children. The complex is now open to all.In Southeast that very scenario can happen and might given the lack of Senior amenities, the floor plan (especially the 3 bedroom aspect), and a desire for new, less expensive housing in our town.
Another concern in Southeast is the net effect on taxes. Tax burdens can actually increase. As local seniors move out of their homes and into senior complexes they leave behind a vacant home. This home may be sold to a family with school age children and it costs approximately $18,000 to educate a child in Southeast. The only way these costs can be met is through increased tax revenue either at the local level or state level. The combined tax revenue generated from both the senior unit and recently vacated single family home will not cover the cost of two new school age children thus school taxes will have to be raised.
There can also be Medicaid costs that are absorbed at the County level so that County taxes may have to be raised as well.
We need to look at ways that allow our seniors to stay in their homes as long as possible. Allowing accessory apartments in the existing home of a senior is one possibility giving seniors the financial ability to 'age in place'.
Also some towns, such as Patterson, only allow state licensed senior housing thereby providing a community for seniors to live and receive the necessary attention they deserve. We can and should provide housing for our seniors but this housing must be good for the entire community. CRSE urges that the Southeast Town Board enact a moratorium on Senior Housing until stricter criteria and more creative solutions can be found.

Cecilia Hamilton sat by a speaker blaring funk and soul music outside of 93rd Street Elementary School in South Los Angeles. Behind her, the digital marquee on the school read: We Love Our Teachers.
Since the strike started a week ago, teachers such as Hamilton have been showing up every morning before 7 a.m., picketing outside of school, fighting for smaller classrooms and for more resources that they say will help them not only meet the needs of their students, but effectively teach them.
Hamilton, who teaches 4th grade at the school, said the teachers broadcast through the speaker Tuesday morning's news conference that announced the tentative contract agreement between the teachers union and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Now, outside of the school, she waited to hear more details about the deal and the eventual vote on it. She looks forward to returning to school.
"We can't help our children with nothing," she added.
Hamilton, a second-generation teacher, said problems at the elementary school began to worsen about six years ago as district funds dwindled.
She said gradually the school found itself staffed with one psychologist and no counselors, forcing teachers to sometimes take on those roles. The school also didn't have a full-time librarian. Part of the school's budget was used to help pay for things such as a nurse who would be at the school at least twice a week rather than once. But such changes had a ripple effect. Hamilton said last year the school found itself without supplies such as pens and paper.
And then there were the classroom sizes. When Hamilton began teaching in 2001 at another school in South L.A., the average classroom size was about 20 students. By 2009, when she started teaching at 93rd Street Elementary, she had 26 to 30 students in her class.
Hamilton said larger classrooms meant less time to focus on students who were barely keeping up with the rest of the class and needed more time to understand the material. She said recess and after-school hours were sometimes necessary to squeeze in one-on-one time with those students who needed extra help.
At the school, police officers drove up, giving the thumbs-up and asking the teachers if they won.
Ingrid Villeda, a 6th-grade teacher at the school, responded.
"We got almost everything," she said.
More than 1,000 students are enrolled at 93rd Street Elementary. About 35% of the students are English learners. About 96% of the students receive free lunches or reduced-price meals, according to the state Department of Education. Teachers aid some students who are homeless, and having another nurse, psychologists and counselors on staff will help.
"We're serving students that are already underserved, that need psych services, that need another nurse and additional resources," Villeda said.
Students gave some of the teachers high fives.
Parents said they were thankful to hear that teachers were planning to return to the classroom.
Aurora Alonso, 38, who has four children, said it was hard trying to keep her kids from watching television and playing video games. She said last week during the strike that she didn't bring her three sons to school. Tuesday was their first day back.
Enrique Vega, 46, while walking to pick up his granddaughter, said he had been supporting the teachers on their strike. He too believes that smaller classrooms would benefit his granddaughter and other students. He said he was happy to hear an agreement had been reached.

Larry, I agree with you about some of the new horror vs the old horror. Less is more sometimes.
I'm not a huge fan of maniac splatter flicks… however, I do like Zombie films: My favorite is the VERY FIRST zombie movie – "White Zombie" with Bela Lugosi (1931) It has some amazing scenes; such as the silent and ragged zombies working in the mill – very weird and eerie. Or Val Lewton's "I Walked With a Zombie" (1943). You are really missing out if you have not seen these "Zombie" movies!
Yes, I love the glorious black & white images of the huge gnarled dark trees rising out of the glowing white mist in "The Wolfman" (1941), and the strange, moody, huge castle rooms of "Frankenstein" (1931) & "Bride of Frankenstien" (1935), and my personal favorite: Bela Lugosi and his hypnotic gaze in "Dracula" (also 1931). Lugosi is a special effect all by himself. And, yeah, I do dig that new score by Phillip Glass in the Universal Legacy collection version of "Dracula".
Plus "The Old Dark House", "The Invisible Man", & who cannot have seen "Nosferatu"!? No color – all where light and deep black shadows are oh so, so important. These are amazingly beautiful films.
And, just as thrillingly fantastic, of course, are the books "Frankenstein" & "Dracula" & "The Invisible Man" … there are so many delicious classic tales to be read with the same excitement as any new fiction. More so, as they have stood the test of time and reward the reader richly.
I hope the new generation of horror fans still stalk through the tombs of past horror,& dig up from the ancient soil some of these fearful treasures, and appreciate their bones. Their glorious black and white bones.
Wow! Angela Slatter's "The Bones Remember Everything" is a fantastic tale with rich, dark prose. Elise Goodman's narration was delivered with teeth and pitch-perfect for the tone of the story. I hope to hear more from both of these ladies in the future.
You guys are doing a fantastic job with the content and delivery of these shows. Thanks for all the hard work!
A Conspiracy of One: I'm afraid I don't agree with Larry here. An interesting concept, but the letter to self was not engaging me the same way as the direct story did. Not quite in the league with the referred Heinlein piece, but definitely an interesting concept and strong writing otherwise. And the narration, by the way, was definitely good.
The Bones Remember was lovely! Dreamlike in its alien familiarity, familiar in its subversion of fairy-tale tropes. And again, a narrator that fits the story so thoroughly.
Thanking you, all you contributors, again.
Hey. Old Man Parker. Take a look at the TtT Facebook page.
Thank you Larry. Something everyone should always keep in mind.
We're all here for the familiar, the strange, the notable and the yet to be noticed.
Some things will ring our personal bells till they're hard rung and cracked.
But there's no need for us to begrudge the infinite shapes that bell can be.
Much love, thanks and admiration always.

Q: Space complexity when temporary variables declared within loop I'm trying to assess the space complexity of a LeetCode solution. I believe it boils down to the following simplification:
def algorithm(string):
    for _ in range(10):
        temporary_string = copy.copy(string)
    return None

Would this algorithm's space complexity be O(1) or O(len(string))?

The full algorithm is:
    def validWordAbbreviation(self, word: str, abbr: str) -> bool:
        a, b = 0, 0

        while a < len(word) and b < len(abbr):
            nextB = b + 1
            while abbr[b].isdigit() and nextB < len(abbr) and abbr[nextB].isdigit():
                nextB += 1

            bWord = abbr[b:nextB]
            if bWord.isdigit():
                if bWord != bWord.lstrip('0'):
                    return False
                a += int(bWord)
            else:
                if word[a] != bWord:
                    return False
                a += 1

            b = nextB

        return a == len(word) and b == len(abbr)

This is a solution to the LeetCode problem 408. Valid Word Abbreviation posted in the discussion forum. Source.
The author claims it is O(1) space complexity but a comment disagrees and claims it is O(len(abbr)) due to the declaration of the bWord variable.
Which is correct?
Thank you for your help!

French foreign minister arrives in Tehran for talks
A trip to Tehran by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius faced a threat Tuesday of being overshadowed by a tainted blood scandal from the 1980s which killed hundreds of Iranians.
According to information reaching here from Paris earlier, France will send a delegation of 80 French companies to Tehran at the end of September.
France hopes to secure business in Iran once Western sanctions are lifted under the nuclear deal, and Fabius said last week that his tough stance in the negotiations would not stand in the way of French commercial opportunities.
The statement was made after Fabius met Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Fabius said France wants to see progress in Iran. "It is true that in recent years, for reasons that everyone knows, the ties have cooled but now thanks the nuclear deal, things will be able to change", he said.
Al-Jubeir spoke on Monday after talks with Mogherini who was in Saudi Arabia to assuage its concerns over the nuclear deal she helped broker.
The French foreign minister arrived in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Wednesday for a day-long visit to hold talks with the country's high-ranking officials.
"While we believe that dialogue is the way forward, states can not ignore the fact that Iran is the world's second greatest executioner and is now threatening juvenile offenders with the death penalty ," stated Karim Lahidji, FIDH President.
Images on social media showed protests against Fabius at Tehran's Mehrabad airport, and flyers depicting a bloody red carpet and the pledge: "We will not forgive or forget".
During his Iran visit, Fabius delivered an invitation from French Prime Minister Francois Hollande for Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to visit Paris.
Gulf Arab officials reacted with concern to a July 18 speech by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that said the deal did not signal any wider shift in Iran's policies in the Middle East, or in its relationship with Washington.
The Iranian minister said the implementation of the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) will pave the way for strengthening relations in transportation, energy and manufacturing cars with France.
Iran, which has always denied seeking an atomic bomb, agreed to curbs on some but not all elements of its nuclear programme in exchange for a lifting of UN, US and European economic sanctions. He said the agreement also aims at preventing "nuclear proliferation among other regional countries so that no one even thinks about having a nuclear bomb."

Nominate for the Civvys!!
Posted by Graham Bodie 164pts on July 11, 2019
Nominate a Collaborator for the Civvys on #ListenFirst Friday – Caroline Klibanoff
If you're in need of inspiration and hope, look past all that divides us to focus on the people bringing us together – the collaborators. The Civvys Awards are accepting nominations through Monday, July 15 at civvys.org.
On this #ListenFirstFriday, I want to share something that has helped me keep the faith when it comes to the future of our nation and our democracy, even when it seems like hyperpartisanship, division and entrenched attitudes prevail.
As the program manager for the American Civic Collaboration Awards (also known as the "Civvys,"), I have had the privilege every year to read through a broad swath of nominations that paint a much brighter picture of America than you might see on your social media feed or in the news. The Civvys celebrate exemplar cases of collaborative work at the national, local and youth levels, and the nominations we receive are nothing short of inspiring. Each year, I'm bolstered just by learning about the relentless efforts of Americans from coast to coast to improve their communities and pursue a better future, and I am deeply invested in listening to how they got it done and what they've learned.
Last year, for example, Civvys winners included a civics education platform reaching over 5 million K-12 students (iCivics), a dialogue program between the Syracuse Police department and the local community (El-Hindi Center for Dialogue at Interfaith Works), a college campus model for civic engagement and community outreach (Colorado State University Center for Public Deliberation), and a pioneering virtual voting platform used across North Carolina schools (First Vote NC). We were so moved reading all of the inspiring nominations that we even created a Committee's Choice Award to honor the work done by a group of middle-schoolers in Montevallo, a small, rural Alabama town, who petitioned their mayor to create a Junior City Council that now has representation at the "adult" City Council meetings. The kids are alright – we just have to listen to their ideas!
But it's not just the winners and finalists that are leading the way. All of the Civvys nominees demonstrate the effectiveness of collaboration, from every corner of the country, in politics and governing, in neighborhoods, schools and faith communities, and in workplaces large and small, using the power of listening to understand each other and working across the aisle or even just across departments or roles. Many submissions note the "contagious" effect of this kind of work, where nominees have inspired similar efforts in other states or with other audiences, and we believe that sharing these stories can help communities "catch the bug" of civic engagement and collaboration.
I know it can be all too easy to focus on what divides us, on the insults and injuries of living in a divided nation, and to stay crouched in our corners, scanning for the next piece of horrible news or attack on our "side." But if we can suspend the defensive position for a moment, long enough to listen, more hopeful stories emerge. Stories of the collaborators, the problem-solvers, people who refuse to get mired in the hate and fear and simply get to work. By sharing and listening to their stories, we can give collaborators their due.
You can help us find more of these stories to tell by nominating a project, person or organization for a 2019 Civvys Award by Monday, July 15 at civvys.org. If you can think of work that inspires you, that gives you faith in the future of our nation, that uses collaboration to achieve their goals – chances are they're a good fit for the Civvys. Tell us about them, so we can tell the world, and so we can all look forward to a brighter future, led by those who work together and #ListenFirst.

You can get here from two underground stations: Petrogradskaya (blue line) or Lesnaya (red line).
If you travel by plane, to get into the city centre you can take bus 39 or shuttle-bus 39 to Moskovskaya Metro Station (seven stops) and then take the metro into town (7 stops to Nevsky Prospekt).
Pulkovo airport is very close to the city, so you can also go by taxi. Use Uber RU (international one doesn't work), Gett or Yandex Taxi, they work well in Saint Petersburg! NB: do not take random taxis right at the airport, they can charge you much more. Usually, a trip from the airport to the city costs 800-1000 rub.
Here you can find possible types of accommodation which are close to the conference venue (Kantemirovskaya st. 3/a). You can still find something suitable for you by yourself but we hope that these ones would help you with your choice.
Our team has prepared a list of places where you can try local cuisine and relish tasty meals.

British MPs challenge development secretary on controversial aid ideas
Emma Rumney
British MPs have quizzed Priti Patel, the country's new secretary of state for international development, over her remarks that sparked concern about the future of one of the world's leading aid agencies.
The appointment of Patel to the Department for International Development had left many wondering about the status of the UK's aid work and its commitment to spending 0.7% of its national income on overseas development. Patel had previously said that DFID was "low priority" and that it wasted funding.
Patel has also recently hired special advisor Robert Oxley, known for launching outspoken attacks on aid spending, raising hopes among hard-line aid critics that she might swiftly do away with the spending commitment when she took office.
However, she confirmed yesterday in an article for the UK's Daily Mail newspaper that she would uphold the Conservative manifesto pledge on aid spending.
The article was published on Wednesday before Patel appeared in front of MPs on the International Development Select Committee that afternoon.
In the article, she wrote that too much UK aid is "stolen or wasted" and outlined a new direction for DFID based on an increased focus on economic development, trade and the British national interest.
But when challenged by the committee to put a figure on how much money she thought was being wasted, Patel struggled to provide a solid percentage.
"I don't think we should focus on sum totals and binary figures," she told Stephen Doughty, a Labour MP who repeatedly pushed her on the question. "This comes back to confidence from UK taxpayers that their money is being spent on need."
Doughty retorted that building confidence could also mean not making "grand statements" without being able to back them up with statistics.
He also questioned Patel on previous comments that suggested she supported the death penalty. After continuous pressure from Doughty she stated clearly that this was not the case, and said she would continue DFID's work against human rights abuses.
She said poverty reduction would remain the key focus of the UK's £12bn aid budget and that humanitarian work would remain a core element of DFID's business, lending vague support to the department's focus on fragile states.
A new aid strategy published last year by the UK government committed 50% of DFID's budget to fragile nations. However, it also stipulated that official aid funds would be spread across more government departments, from the Foreign Office to the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills and the Ministry of Defence.
Patel said the DFID would work closely and strategically with these departments, as well as others, such as the Department of International Trade, to capitalise on opportunities for trade deals in a post-Brexit world that served the national interest and grew economies overseas.
When questioned whether a focus on trade would divert DFID funds from aid, Patel said: "On trade the legislation is very clear. But that does not stop us from working across departments. I am very clear that post the EU referendum there are new, exciting opportunities and new partnerships that we can develop around the world that can strengthen our national interests."
Patel stressed that DFID's work is cross-departmental in nature, and put heavy emphasis on using its leadership and expertise, as well as its budget, for aid and development work.
She also, when questioned, guaranteed the continued existence of the aid agency after classing it as "low-priority" and calling for it to be abolished in 2013.
"I completely believe in the mission of my department. My department is incredible in the work that it does. So absolutely we will continue with gusto in terms of our humanitarian support and the way in which we work with partners around the world," she said.
She did, however, say that under her leadership there would be a greater push to give taxpayers a better insight into how their money is spent, and promote the positive impact it has. She also pledged to drive change in the global aid system.
"There are good processes in place but we must always be challenging in terms of how we are spending that money," Patel said.
She added that she will use DFID's leadership role to "challenge, change and reform the global aid system, so that it seeks to deliver, yes, for the world's poorest, but also British taxpayers as well".

In ROAD DOG, Dov turns the blistering insight frequently displayed in his comedy on himself. Davidoff proves that years spent observing America from the stages of comedy clubs—those that are glamorous, and those that… aren't—reveal all kinds of truths about the stuff we tell ourselves to get by, and the strange baggage we carry with us. And in his case, that baggage is truly strange.
ROAD DOG chronicles his fractured childhood days spent in a New Jersey junkyard with a gruff Jewish father and commune-loving hippie Protestant mother to the intense and sometimes hyperactive persona that his fans know and expect discussing the relationships, drugs, and demons that he has fought along the way. With an eye for self-reflection, and a penchant for hilarious irony, Dov pulls back the curtain on a life hard-made on the road.
Chronicling the highs and often very low lows of performance life with honesty, clarity, and humility, ROAD DOG is by turns hysterically funny and painfully honest, and Dov tells it all with an urgency and surprising literary skill. Check out this guy's set—you'll want to stay for the encore.
"Top Ten Comics to Watch"
"Mr. Davidoff's high intensity and wild subject matter have made him an audience favorite."
As a comedian he's written and performed two one-hour standup specials for television and has appeared on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Chappelle's Show, Showtime, Comedy Central, and many others.
Watch Dov on Judd Apatow's new HBO series, Crashing. It's about a comic who discovers his wife is cheating and starts to reevaluate his life.
Watch Dov play Internal Affairs Agent Tom Verco on Season 2 of NBC's cop drama Shades of Blue with Ray Liotta and Jennifer Lopez.

I am just getting into woodworking. For the last year I have done a good amount of milling oak trees into lumber.
Now, I am trying to get a wood shop. I have built a few small tables but nothing to much yet. I have basic tools such a miter saw, belt sander, jigsaw, and a few other small tools.
I am looking to purchase my first table saw and could use some advise. I have been doing some research and there is so much out there to pick from.
My budget is around 1,200$. I will be doing a lot of thicker hardwood cuts, sometimes on boards that are slightly warped. I have 220V power in my garage as well.
For starters, if you're working with warped lumber, you will want a jointer. Or, if you have the inclination and energy….some good hand planes. A good jointer can be indispensable in a shop.
A good table saw doesn't have to be the most expensive one on the block. It involves a combination of a good fence, proper blades, and precise setup. This can be achieved with some of the cheaper, more serviceable options. i.e. Craftsman 113, older Ridgid TS, etc. A lot of good info can be had here with the search function.
Don't be afraid to consider used equipment. Most of my shop is filled with used equipment. The only new stuff I have bought has been for my business. Depending what area you're in, Craigslist or Nextdoor can be your friend. Also consider estate auctions, Ebay, etc.
Agreed, you do not want warped pieces cut on a table saw. High danger there. So get a way to flatten them. Alternatively, a band saw could be used for some cuts on warped lumber, but ultimately you will want to find a way to flatten before taking the m to the table saw.
Thank you for the advice, that is very helpful. I have been looking at a jointer as well. This is an expensive hobby to get in to! But, I have always wanted to my entire life.
I have been looking for a few weeks in my area at used table saws and unfortunately, nothing good yet. Mostly low quality in bad shape.
Do you have any experience or opinion on a Shopsmith Mark V?
No experiences, but coming from a machines background….I wouldn't go there.
I might get it for the lathe functionality, and use the other stuff in a pinch, but IMO it's just so limited in what you can do with it…..as far as the add-ons are concerned. I get it that in a lot of places that machine is going for peanuts, but at the end of the day it's a machine that has quite a few limitations. You're not going to find anyone here that makes their products strictly using a Shopsmith.
I am in Cleveland , Ohio.
I did find this unisaw that is 10 minutes from my house but I was worried due to the age of it. What are your thoughts?
I'd be more inclined to do this one….
Nothing wrong with the Unisaw, and it would be a good buy….but it does have some limitations. The fence isn't that great, and I believe that it's right-tilt. Not a huge deal, but could be troublesome.
That Ridgid, OTOH, is the one that you want, as far as the used Ridgids go.
But, if you really want a Unisaw, I'd go for it. I wish it was that close to me…..I'd jump on it. My Unifence would bolt right on it.
Nick check some public auctions in your area. Some schools are upgrading to sawstops and selling off decent table saws.
When it comes to table saws (and a few other shop tools like jointers), old isn't necessarily a bad thing particularly if the machine is in good condition.
I have the Grizzly 1023. No problems encountered in the past 5 years.
Also, if your board is bowed (like a banana), a track saw (either store bought or home made) will be your best bet to rip a straight edge. Then you can use it on the table saw.
When I encounter boards like mentioned, I try to cross cut them into manageable lengths and then rip them with the track saw.
Nothing to do with machines, but I would suggest that you don't stop gathering rough cut lumber…i did pretty much the same thing you are describing when I got back into wood and milled a huge wild black cherry. I failed to have but one other tree milled in the time I was drying it and am getting worried I will run out of my own stuff and have to go and purchase someone else's boards. Just one of those things i didn't really think about much until I got dangerously close to run out.
Woodworking doesn't have to be too expensive of a hobby if you make a few things and sell them to fund other equipment and tools. Better an old used but decent machine than a brand new inadequate one. My personal experience with the Shopsmith is that it is okay if you have limited room to work, but you quickly get tired of switching it back and forth to do things and it is somewhat small and limited anyways. If you have the room to put separate machines I would not even think about a Shopsmith.
You might be able to find something cheaper but it'll take some time.
That is a nice Unisaw, but it s only a 1hp and it s way overpriced IMO.
I agree w/ this. My first big boy saw was an 80s unisaw w/ a 1hp motor and beis fence which I bought before I had 220. Great saw and I think I paid 450 which is reasonable for both parties in my area.

A 23 year-old man was taken to hospital in a serious condition after being found with a gunshot wound in Pimlico. The man had been shot in the leg and also had stab wounds.
He was found at an address in Cumberland Street just after midnight. The incident is being investigated by detectives from the Trident Gang Crime Command. They are appealing for any witnesses to come forward.
An autistic teenager who was slashed across the neck in a random attack has told ITV London that he "did the right thing running away". Eamonn Finn, 16, said that he would only be fine if the boys are caught.
The mother of an autistic teenager attacked by three boys has told ITV London that Eamonn Finn "wants to see them caught". Margaret Finn said: "Eamonn's been raised to believe that if you do something wrong, there are consequences to those actions".
Police released footage of the aftermath of an attack launched on an autistic teenager in June. Eamonn Finn sustained a slash wound to his neck, after which his mother appealed on Facebook for any more information on the assault.
The suspects are described as Hispanic or black.

Repco Technology 2…

Tags: 1968 Belgian Grand Prix, Brabham BT26 Repco, Jochen Rindt, Repco RB860 V8
I think anything Repco Brabham is a thing of functional and engineering beauty, simplicity and performance…while admitting hopeless bias!
Their F1 3-litre, DOHC, four-valve 860 V8 engine didn't enjoy the same success in 1968 as its SOHC, two-valve 620 and 740 brothers had in 1966/7 . Don't forget though, in 4.2-litre Indy, and 4.8/5-litre sportscar form, the 760 (same DOHC, four-valve heads as the 860 but with the long 700 block) delivered the goods for Peter Revson (Brabham BT25 at Indy Raceway Park) and Frank Matich (Matich SR4 in Oz Sportscar Champ) in 1969. The Repco Holden F5000 V8 engine which followed was an international race-winner too.
It's the 860 depicted in the ad above, the shot is Jochen Rindt during the Belgian GP weekend on 9 June 1968, his Brabham BT26 Repco was DNF engine, the race was won by Bruce McLaren's McLaren M7A Ford.
Jochen's Brabham BT26 Repco in the dry earlier in the Belgian GP weekend at Spa. Q17 and DNF engine, Jack Q18 and out with throttle slide problems. Bruce McLaren won a famous win in his McLaren M7A Ford (unattributed)
Jochen made these cars sing, he popped the BT26 on pole twice, on the front row three times. With development over the '68/9 Australian summer the engine was potentially a winner in '69. I'm not saying the world title, but there is no reason 400bhp of reliable 860 Series Repco couldn't have delivered what 405bhp of Cosworth DFV did for Ickx in the Brabham BT26A Ford in 1969; wins on the Nurburgring and at Mosport.
IF 'yer Aunty had balls she'd be 'yer Uncle of course, but it is the great intriguing Repco mighta-been had the boys from Maidstone done one final F1 season…

Jochen Rindt in the Eifel Mountains gloom in 1968, he started from grid-slot three and finished in third place behind Jackie Stewart's Matra MS10 Ford and Graham Hill's Lotus 49 Ford. The great Austrian was over four minutes adrift of Stewart mind you, but it was still a morale boosting result for the Brabham Racing Organisation and Repco Brabham Engines.

"I had imagined the Second World War as punishment specifically designed to deprive me of my father, had counted up my errors and, with an egocentricity which then approached autism and which afflicts me still in dreams and fevers and marriage, found myself guilty."
This is how Joan Didion describes her first visit, as a child in 1942, to the South. When she returned almost 30 years later, on a road trip with her husband through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, she took notes. "At the time," she writes, "I had thought it might be a piece." Those notes now constitute a new collection, South and West: From a Notebook, out March 7, which pairs that draft alongside one from another trip for an assigned article that never happened, when Rolling Stone sent her to San Francisco to write about Patty Hearst.
South and West was written before mobile phones and terror wars, before the Reagan Revolution and before Barack Obama and Donald Trump and what feels like an epochal breaking apart of old orders. Yet her revelations feel new. Not new as explorations of place but of a writer in the process of becoming something.
The South of 1970 was a place a girl shouldn't go without a wedding ring, where "the idea of 'church' as a Sunday morning donnée has not existed for a couple of generations in the Protestant societies I know, but it exists in the South." Didion was 36. It was six years later, in California, that she wrote, "at the center of this story there is a terrible secret, a kernel of cyanide, and the secret is that the story doesn't matter, doesn't make any difference, doesn't figure."
How did she change in the intervening years? The sense of a writer longing to understand a place in "Notes on the South" shifts subtly in "California Notes" to a sense of a writer longing to understand herself. The South has always been the place we go for elegy, the West for reinvention. Didion questions this.
The South in South and West is a place where people pour gasoline into rattlesnake holes to get the snakes drunk and lure them out, where men define the culture and women have their hair done. Didion swims in motel pools and chews ice and fails to find Faulkner's grave. Only, in the end, the South, according to her, has something radical in its anachronisms, a quality of candor, a maturity acquired by surviving in the wake of an unspoken loss.
It's the war, of course. "The time warp," as she puts it. "The Civil War was yesterday, but 1960 is spoken of as if it were about three hundred years ago." There is something impressive about this sense of the South as a place that knows what it is, a place confident in its sins and graces, with little interest in apology or even in the future, because it has been through it.
In the final pages of South and West, Didion writes about her family's "predilection for the old." While the Mississippi Delta has no predilection for the old—it is encased in it—a San Francisco socialite might fetishize a history she was never privy to, cribbing its gloss. Who is moving forward to a thing she never was, and who is returning to a place she came from? This is in part what seems to interest Didion.
Thinking about her childhood in Sacramento and observing the California landscape as a grown-up, she writes, "we are hoping to spend part of every summer together, at Lake Tahoe. We are hoping to reinvent our lives, or I am." Reinvention is still possible in the West, in other words. "I am at home in the West. The hills of the coastal ranges look 'right' to me, the particular flat expanse of the Central Valley comforts my eye. The place names have the ring of real places to me." Where we are from defines aesthetic as well as political instinct.
On the cover the word "South" is in blue and the word "West" is in red, possibly a nod to Didion's thesis—that what she found in the South was what "people were still saying California was, and what California seemed to me not to be: the future, the secret source of malevolent and benevolent energy, the psychic center." And then she writes, "I did not much want to talk about this." I doubt she would ever want to talk about it.
In an introduction Nathaniel Rich describes Didion's writing as having "an immaculacy as intimidating as Chelsea porcelain." It's not only the writing that's intimidating, though. It's the absolute command of point of view, an absolute confidence when examining a thing. Or an emotion. Like, "It occurred to me almost constantly in the South that had I lived there I would have been an eccentric and full of anger, and I wondered what form the anger would have taken. Would I have taken up causes, or would I have simply knifed somebody?" T.S. Eliot said John Webster "saw the skull beneath the skin." Joan Didion does too, and here the skull is at times her own and at times America's.
