Paul Rübig on ACTA
Posted in Europe, Patents, Videos at 8:47 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: A European parliament member explains rather poorly his reasons for suffocating the market
LAST week we shared this annotated video which contains an explanation of what ACTA is really about. Pedro Valesco-Martins talked a lot of nonsense and spin/waffle. There's more from the same group now. The president of the FFII describes or at least summarises the following video as "Paul Ruebig MEP explains you why we urgently need ACTA (because of those black people do not pay taxes!), priceless."
He also speaks about far-east Asia and uses ethic terms alongside "black market". ACTA is eventually glorified as a solution to "financial crisis". Is this man lying with sincerity? Is Europe — like the United States — dominated by the copyright and patent lobby? █
Microsoft Bribes to Make Education Microsoft-based
Posted in Asia, Bill Gates, Europe, Free/Libre Software, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 8:20 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: Microsoft stoops very low to derail GNU/Linux and Free software in education around the world
YESTERDAY we wrote about EDGI in the context of Munich. Microsoft tried to derail Munich's migration to GNU/Linux by making 'special' offers. Steve Ballmer even canceled or shortened his ski trip due to this "emergency" which is the emergence of competition in Germany. Microsoft cannot afford having competition because it means that customers suddenly have this thing called "choice".
Bribes from Microsoft are not an unusual thing; they are a matter of strategy in fact, as the Comes vs Microsoft case clearly reveals.
Some days ago it was Scott Fulton who remarked on these documents that embody admissions of bribery, but he does not take it seriously enough. Perhaps he is not sufficiently familiar with the 9,000 or so individual exhibits and therefore assumes — based on extrapolation — that there is nothing exceptional there. In Beta News he wrote along the usual lines:
In February 2008, Groklaw reporter Pamela Jones uncovered a piece of public evidence from the Comes v. Microsoft antitrust trial in Iowa, that spelled out the symbolism that characterized Microsoft's public stance throughout the 1990s and for the first part of the following decade. Early in 2000, a company technical evangelist named James Plamondon produced an internal company presentation entitled "Effective Evangelism" (PDF available here, from Groklaw), but which came to be known by its initial heading, "Evangelism Is War."
There is also this new article from IDG which contains:
Microsoft is busted
In April 2000, U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson issued the first big ruling in a series of antitrust decisions to hit the software giant during the decade. Jackson found that Microsoft maintained its monopoly power by anticompetitive means and illegally attempted to monopolize the Web browser market. The final judgment in the U.S. federal case established restrictions related to licensing agreements and ordered that Microsoft release some of its intellectual property. Microsoft also faced private and government antitrust cases involving individual U.S. states, Sun Microsystems, and the European Union, which fined Microsoft US$794 million in 2004. Ramifications persist. Microsoft still meets with U.S. officials who monitor its behavior, and the European Commission just this month accepted the company's promise to allow Windows users to choose which Internet browser they use, ending a browser-market investigation. The cases were a huge distraction for Microsoft but ultimately made its software work better with competing technology. They also provided a template of sorts for antitrust cases brought against Intel this year in the U.S. and Europe.
Microsoft was found guilty. It broke the law and then resorted to political escape routes. History, however, is not the main subject of this post. Today we present new evidence that Microsoft is paying Sri Lanka to make its children "addicted" (Gates' word) to Microsoft. Yes, paying, not charging. That's dumping from a monopoly, which is against competition rules (law). From the Sunday Times:
Microsoft recently announced that it would be funding the Education for Knowledge Society Project (EKSP) of Sri Lanka's Ministry of Education for 12 to 15 months via a Rs. 100 million grant.
Sri Lanka is not a surprising target for this. English F/OSS articles from/about Sri Lanka (2006-2009) are added at the bottom for context [1-11].
This whole strategy sounds familiar because it's so widespread. See the case of Spain for example:

In the cases above, Microsoft sent its #1 lobbyist [1, 2, 3, 4], Bill Gates, whose role as education subvertor we wrote about in:

It seems as though more corrupt deals are being signed by Microsoft in Italy amidst abuse, even at the time when the country is abandoning Microsoft. This new article is an eye opener:
Risks for Italian Public Education in Government/Microsoft deal
What would you do if a teacher tried to teach your children to write only with one brand and model of pens or pencils, "because that's what everybody uses"? Would you laugh in his face and immediately ask he's suspended from teaching or would you let him continue?
If you answered "I'd laugh and then make sure he's suspended" and you'd like that school taught as to solve problems rather than blindly push buttons like monkeys, here is an interesting story.
Microsoft has been under examination for several years before the European Union, with charges of abuse of dominant position, that is because it makes unnecessarily difficult to get rid of its software even for users who would like to run other programs in order to save money or for any other reason. This is why, starting in 2004, the European Union fined Microsoft for more than one and a half billion Euros.
With such a background, why did Italian Ministers Brunetta and Gelmini signed a three years deal for multimedia educational tools and services with Microsoft in a moment (September 2009) in September 2009, when the EU antitrust regulators hadn't yet verified if the answers from Microsoft to the charges against them were acceptable?
Microsoft is even trying to stifle adoption of Free software in the Philippines. Microsoft Philippines, whose head left some months ago, has been behind many blunders in 2008, e.g.:

Microsoft Lobbies for OOXML Through Proxies, IBM Does Its Own Legwork
Melvin Calimag, who tends to write FOSS-hostile articles [1, 2] after his trip to Microsoft, is writing about the Microsoft proxy/satellite known as "Grameen Foundation" doing its service for the monopoly:
The Redmond, Washington-based software giant made the announcement during a recent seminar for NGOs it co-sponsored with microfinance organization Grameen Foundation in Makati City.
It is the first in a series of education and mentorship forums for microfinance that Microsoft and Grameen Foundation plan to conduct in other countries in the coming year.
The Philippines was chosen as the launch market because of its leadership in the microfinance industry and advanced technology infrastructure, as well as the availability of resources on the ground to assist MFIs in adopting technology.
Based on evidence from December, Grameen Foundation could be one of those Gates- and Microsoft-serving NGOs. It's headed by Microsoft veterans. Microsoft is gaining more of them, based on the following article:
In 2006, John Wood wrote Leaving Microsoft To Change The World, a memoir of his journey from fast track corporate life to opening libraries across the world. He talks to DNA about the different kinds of challenges and rewards that come his way, and how to run an NGO like a business
More colours of "American EDGI" thanks to a donation (by IBM)
The new training stations will allow JVS to offer more classes on basics like how to use Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and the networking site LinkedIn.
"America's Largest Microsoft IT Academy" is said to have just gone bankrupt.
ComputerTraining.edu closes without refunding students, creates bad press for Microsoft
Students trying to attend their ComputerTraining.edu classes this week were welcomed by an awful surprise in that ComputerTraining.edu was closing its doors. With 22 locations around the country, the school calls itself "America's Largest Microsoft IT Academy. This is according to their web site that is still up as of this morning. They are still accepting applications as well, but hopefully they aren't still trying to take money from their applicants as the rumor has it they are applying for bankruptcy.
If these students were learning Microsoft, then they were studying for the wrong skills anyway. This comes to show that the Microsoft ecosystem is collapsing and running out of money, too. Microsoft is now extending its "shills" ecosystems with incentives and more awards:
Today is not only the first day of 2010, but it's also the day that several individuals around the world, wake up to see an email from Microsoft. That email states that they have been awarded (or re-awarded), the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award. This award is to recognize their community contributions over the past year; specifically in helping others get the most out of Microsoft technologies (like Office, Zune, XBOX 360, Sharepoint, Home Server, etc).
Microsoft is paying these people to bash GNU/Linux [1, 2, 3]. It happens on several fronts at the moment, even with full-time employees [1, 2]. █
[1] 400 OLPC XO laptops to primary school children
The first Sri Lankan project of the internationally lauded One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation was officially launched on Thursday with "over 400″ primary school children being presented OLPC XO laptops "personally" by the country's President, Mahinda Rajapaksa, according to a statement by the local arm of OLPC.
[2] Suntel bids adieu to Microsoft, embraces IBM
IT major IBM announced today that Suntel, a Sri Lankan based telecommunications provider, has selected IBM Lotus software to create a collaborative environment to improve the way employees work together in any mode at any time, raising employee performance and cost-efficiency.
He added that they are also pleased with the contribution IBM has made to the open community through Lotus Suite of products. With Lotus Symphony, which is based on the Open Document Format (ODF), an open industry standard, Suntel no longer relies on a proprietary technology.
[3] Sri Lankan MIT award recipient proof of power of volunteerism
Meanwhile, his pride in Sahana is plain for all to see. Crediting the success of this project to its Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) platform, he notes that it has helped to improve disaster management systems in the aftermath of a large scale disaster, offering functions like tracking missing people, 'who is doing what where', aid management, volunteer management, shelter tracking, etc. As the software is Open Source, it has the added benefit of being a global public utility that anyone can download and use without the need for express permission.
[4] Sri Lanka to introduce one laptop per child
Two-million primary school children are to be provided with US$ 100-worth laptops under a farsighted initiative.
This is being launched by One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), a US based organisation in collaboration with the Education Department and several local and foreign financial, technological and academic institutions.
[5] Sri Lankan school children soon may own "$100 laptop"
Some of the two million primary school students in Sri Lanka soon may get to own the "$100 laptop" if an ambitious plan to introduce the product into Sri Lanka gets adequate support, officials said.
Users also have access to a Linux-based text editing programme, an e-book reader, drawing, painting and music composition tools, and an in-built video camera.
The laptop is pre-loaded with e-books, and the open source operating system will allow Sri Lankan Linux groups to adapt the machine to meet local learning requirements.
[6] Sri Lanka based WSO2 makes splash at SOA World
The open source middleware technology company WSO2 says its products generated wide interest at the SOA World software conference in the United States.
[7] Sri Lanka's open source community touts free software without piracy
While there is a trend in the industry moving towards GNU/Linux and Free and Open Source Software Microsoft Windows is still a dominating force.
[8] EnterpriseDB Partners, Fossmart to offer open source-based database solutions
"Sri Lankan businesses are well aware of the benefits of products built on open source, but require commercial-grade service and support to protect their investments. We will now be able to meet their database needs with EnterpriseDB."
EnterpriseDB has enhanced PostgreSQL, the world?s most advanced open source database, to create the award-winning EnterpriseDB Advanced Server.
[9] Google funds Sri Lanka's open source development
Popular Internet search engine Google has given the Lanka Software Foundation 25,000 dollars to drive open source software projects locally.
[10] Free software to keep you away from stealing
"In Sri Lanka 80 per cent of the software used among the computer users are pirated. The time has come for Sri Lankans to think about how and why they use information communication tools. Pirated computer software is taken for granted. But if you have free software this will never happen," thero said.
According to FOSS local groups Free and Open Source Software is now a part of everyone's life. These software come into effect when browsing the Web where 70 per cent all Web servers in the world use the open source Apache Web server, many of them running on the free Linux operating system and often using the free MySQL or PostgreSQL database. Free and open source software permeates every aspect of the software industry and is no longer a niche: it is here to stay and to change the software landscape.
[11] Sri Lanka Builds Software and Organizations at ApacheCon Asia
The Apache Software Foundation works on the principle that a good community will make good software. Open source organizations are taking root in Sri Lanka, a hotbed of Apache coding.
This conference was locally organized by the Lanka Software Foundation, the Lanka Linux Users' Group and The Linux Center, all of which are non-profit organizations promoting the Sri Lankan FOSS community.
Sri Lanka, overcoming its smallness and leveraging its expat community and global focus, has been working on some innovative projects. These include FOSS-School, a unique event catering to students, which paves the way for the introduction and use of FOSS at the grassroots level.

Update on Microsoft-Staffed Patent Troll and Its Lawsuits Against GNU/Linux
Posted in Courtroom, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Novell, Patents, Red Hat at 6:56 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: The Acacia troll, a firm which is suspected to be batting for Microsoft, is still harassing GNU/Linux vendors
OUR WIKI page about Acacia ought to provide sufficient background about this patent troll's connections to Microsoft. Acacia's case against GNU/Linux is still on, based on Patently-O:
# IP Innovation v. Red Hat & Novell, Case No. 07–cv-0447; Patent Nos. 5,072,412 and 5,394,521.
The authority behind embargoes, the ITC [1, 2, 3, 4], is stepping in again to hinder innovation and encourage interrogation.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has decided to investigate separate complaints made against Sharp and Research In Motion (RIM) that each allege the companies are infringing patents held by the complainants.
The complaint (ITC number 337-TA-699) against Sharp was made by Samsung Electronics and claims LCD panels and modules made by the Japanese company infringe on Samsung's intellectual property. At its center are patents that cover the generation of high quality images on gray-scale LCDs (U.S. Patent No. 5,844,533), control signalling inside LCD panels (U.S. Patent No. 6,888,585) and a technique for improving image quality (U.S. Patent No. 7,436,479).
Microsoft's race for patents carries on with monopolies on avatars and more software-implemented ideas.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) confirmed that it has patented the use of a realistic Avatar generator. Microsoft also confirmed the following triple A releases for the first half of 2010: Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake and Crackdown 2.
A patent application filed by Microsoft (MSFT) June 19, 2008 and published last Thursday suggests that the company is planning cloud services to configure home networks and provide a number of other maintenance activities, such as user authentication and device provisioning.
Microsoft need not sue rivals with these patents. It just passes these to a patent troll like Acacia to do the "dirty job" [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. These patent arsenals are by all means transferable if knowledge is wrongly assumed to be "property". █
Novell Repeats Mistakes of WordPerfect, This Time with Mono
Posted in Courtroom, GNU/Linux, Law, Microsoft, Mono, Novell at 6:32 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: As the WordPerfect case emits more evidence, Novell seems unable to draw obvious conclusions about Microsoft
GROKLAW has some new information regarding Novell's WordPerfect case. Microsoft denied Novell access to its full APIs in order to demote it as a competitor.
Novell has filed its Reply [PDF] in support of its Motion for Summary Judgment in Novell v. Microsoft, the antitrust litigation in Maryland regarding WordPerfect. Technically, it's Novell's Reply in Support of its Motion for Summary Judgment and Opposition to Microsoft's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. Here's that Cross Motion and here's Microsoft's Opposition [PDF] to Novell's motion. I'm sure you recall the mountain of exhibits both parties filed. [Microsoft's; Novell's.] It's complex in that both have filed summary judgment motions, and then Microsoft filed a cross motion in response to Novell's motion. But the themes are not complicated. Microsoft would like the court to accept its claim that Novell can't sue Microsoft over WordPerfect, that it sold its claims to Caldera, which then sued Microsoft and won a huge settlement, and in effect Microsoft is saying the Novell already got paid for any damage done, since it got a cut of the settlement.
Novell has learned absolutely nothing from this case because its somewhat vocal .NET/Mono boosters show that the company is falling into the same trap. What a schizophrenic company. Reddit, for example, has Novell employees in it defending Mono — and by extension they defend the Microsoft ecosystem. We have received a headsup from one reader who finds Mono boosters like this person (with new comments like this new one where he might be promoting Git# [1, 2] or just the Microsoft patents-encumbered C#).
Novell needs not to repeat its past mistakes. GNOME too needs to regain focus. Microsoft is never out there assisting its competition. █
"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
Windows Servers Suffer From 0-Day Security Vulnerability and Microsoft Doesn't Care
Posted in Security, Servers, Windows at 6:10 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: Microsoft belittles a 0-day IIS flaw that it has confirmed around the time it was discovered
JUST around Christmas it turned out that Microsoft IIS was left vulnerable again. The H wrote about this (as did others) and SoftPedia then claimed: "Microsoft Confirms 0-Day IIS Security Vulnerability"
Microsoft has confirmed officially a zero-day security vulnerability affecting Internet Information Services (IIS). The security hole was initially reported just ahead of Christmas on December 23rd, and the Redmond company provided the first response at the end of the past week
There is a conflicting report saying that Microsoft keeps pretending that it's not a big deal. Microsoft's negligence — not incompetence — may merit a lawsuit [1, 2, 3]. █
Convicted Monopoly Abuser Sends Partners to Prison
Posted in Asia, Deception, DRM, FSF, GNU/Linux, Microsoft, Wikipedia, Windows at 5:56 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
Summary: Microsoft is sending partners from India to jail and also hiring from the East in order to lower expenses that are wages
THERE is nothing more absurd than a criminal company sending others to prison while managing to stay out of jail or decommissioning. Almost exactly one year ago we wrote about Microsoft sending Chinese businessmen to prison and now this is happening in India:
i. Software company MD arrested for piracy
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested two persons on Friday, including the managing director of a Delhi-based software company, allegedly for carrying out piracy of Microsoft products.
ii. Partner Cheats on Microsoft
We have been covering Microsoft a lot lately. But for all the wrong reasons these days. First it was the unrest amongst channel partners in the East and North East regarding the arm twisting technique to increase sales. Now it is about the Microsoft Gold Certified partner KK Solutions in Delhi, which the brand caught recently counterfeiting not just the software but also all the certifications.
This is a sure way to drive sellers to GNU/Linux, as Microsoft recently found out in China. In India too, as Microsoft is finding out, this war on so-called 'piracy' (it is not piracy*) is having a negative effect.
Related to the above we also have this news:
H1-B Enrollment Up At State Colleges
As the state lawmakers head back to Olympia this month, we take a look at how one bill passed last year is playing out. The bill granted in–state tuition to foreign professionals and their families. Many of these are H1–B visa holders who work at places like Microsoft and Amazon. Since the law passed, new enrollments among this group have shot up at the UW and at community colleges around the region.
We last mentioned this here or here. █
* When people do not like something, then they tend to assign to that something a bunch of words with very negative connotation. In the case of "piracy", murder and rape are implied. Even the word "terrorism" is said to have been cheapened by overly extensive and broad use. Today in Slashdot we found: "Novelist Blames Piracy On Open Source Culture"
The direct link says, '"With the open-source culture on the Internet, the idea of ownership — of artistic ownership — goes away," Alexie added. "It terrifies me."' What does that have to do with "open-source"? Nothing. The headline says that "Digital piracy hits the e-book industry." Open source is wrongly being associated with copyright infringement. Our reader Oiaohm says: "They are looking for someone to blame. [...] Problem is projects like wikibooks is cutting in on there normally easy payday jobs [...] Then projects creating open source text books. So writers of conflicting items with open source find no one prepared to pay for what they have made." Goblin says: "I don't think they are trying to blame, I think its merely ignorance and lack of understanding on their part." Oiaohm says "it's a mixture" of those two factors. "I.e. open source project cutting into the markets, then normal people who don't give a rats about copyright doing there normal thing. Copy protection in media has been a losing battle. Expect authors of books to get more hostile to the open source world. Think how may books the Wikipedia has undone. I cannot say fear [of] open source based documentation is groundless."
As newspapers are already hostile towards Wikipedia and FOSS-like economics, this explanation makes sense. These sources devalue the older ones. A lot of resistance to DRM comes from FSF and the same goes for defense of P2P (where Free software is often obtained, especially GNU/Linux distribution torrents). The RIAA/MPAA (MAFIAA for short) openly complained about the FSF more than once for no justified reason.

Jenny Fox has a domestic biomass woodfuel system, combined with a solar photovoltaic system, installed at her cottage in Crossgates, near Llandrindod Wells.
Having recently moved from London, Jenny was interested in renewable technologies fitted to her new home. A recommendation from Alice Williams at West Wales Eco Centre led her to contact us to enquire about Solar Panels.
Previously, Jenny used oil to provide hot water and heating to her home, but was shocked when she had a full tank of oil stolen. This drove her to look into renewable technologies with renewed vigour, and she contacted us again, interested in a biomass boiler.
After a site survey, when it was suggested that her cottage was an ideal location for a small Solar Photovoltaic system to run alongside a Wood boiler, Jenny received a quote for both Solar Thermal and a Wood Pellet Boiler. She decided to have a 24kW MCZ Compact boiler, along with a grid connected 3.08 kW Solar Photovoltaic system made up of fourteen flat plate Solfex Kioto KPV modules (which come with a ten year warranty) and a Mastervolt Sunmaster inverter, fitted to her home. The MCZ pellet boiler was to provide hot water and heating, and the Solfex PV system was to provide electricity, feeding the excess back into the National Grid.
Jenny's boiler provides 100% of her home's heat, at an efficiency rate of 90%. It is predicted that she will use 4.69 tonnes of fuel a year, to provide 16,200 kWh of energy.

The importance of eating breakfast on the morning of HSC exams is one of the many pieces of advice imparted to every Year 12 student, but Mark O'Connor, teacher and leader of wellbeing at Emmaus Catholic College, is worried they won't listen. So he has decided to bring breakfast to them before the first exam on Thursday.
"We're going to have breakfast together before the exam, I'll get some cereal, yoghurt, maybe some toast," said Mr O'Connor.
About 76,730 students will sit the first English paper on Thursday morning, when this year's HSC exams begin.
English inspector at the NSW Education Standards Authority Louise Ward said nerves are normal, especially before the first exam, but said students have little reason to worry.
"The exam questions are not there to trick students, exam committees work very hard to ensure it's what students have studied that's going to be tested," Dr Ward said.
Dr Ward said that once students get into the exam room, they should use the 10 minutes of reading time to understand the questions, take note of keywords, plan their responses and answer the question they feel most confident about first.
"The single most unproductive thing that students can do is to ignore the question on the paper on that day and answer last year's question or the question from the year before," Dr Ward said.
"Keeping those keywords in their mind and the question always in the forefront of their thinking right through is really important.
Jessica Alexander, 17, who is in Year 12 at Emmaus, said she is feeling confident about the English exam.
"I'm ready for it, I set up a timetable for everything and I've done that and little bits of extra work, I know all my quotes," Jessica said.
She said she has also tried to maintain balance in the lead up to the exams.
"I study for an hour and have a half-an-hour break. I play netball, I've kept doing that, and go out with friends," Jessica said.
Mr O'Connor said that over the 17-day exam period, students need to focus on getting enough sleep and make sure they're exercising and socialising.
"Some students have five or six days in between exams and they need to have some relaxation or social activity," Mr O'Connor said.
"Having a balance is healthier and will get a better result.

TIMIA Capital Announces $2 Million Investment into Wagepoint Inc.
VANCOUVER, BC — TIMIA Capital Corporation ("TIMIA" or the "Company") (TSX-V:TCA) is pleased to announce its newest investment of $2 million into Wagepoint Inc., a Kitchener, Ontario-based maker of payroll automation software that lets small businesses pay their employees quickly and easily while complying with the associated tax laws. This is TIMIA's 3rd new investment in the past two months.
Recently, Wagepoint has signed deals with several large cloud-focused accounting firms, like Ledgers (based out of Ontario) and Operio (a division of Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton based out of Quebec).

Needless to say HUD homes are appraised and priced at or near their fair market value. For those who're prepared to leap into the true estate recreation as a landlord or Airbnb host, it is best to actually on the HUD portal to your property supply list.
The properties are owned by HUD and first supplied solely to full-time educators and emergency responders who serve these areas. 1992 – Federal Housing Enterprises' Financial Security and Soundness Act of 1992 creates HUD Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight to offer public oversight of FNMA and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac).
As Indianapolis real estate consultants, we not solely have access to the property disclosures and past sales historical past of every property, but the native information that will help you interpret them. There is no such thing as a penalty to consumers if they mark sure to backup place, and afterward determine they do not need the house if HUD accepts their backup bid.
This is because of the HUD making these properties completely accessible to major-residence consumers prior to creating them accessible for real estate buyers too, which gives homebuyers a time-window of diminished competitors before the more aggressive consumers, the buyers, enter the competition over these properties.

Nikoloz (Karlo) Tsjcheidze (Georgisch: ; Russisch: , ) (Poeti, Gouvernement Koetais, 9 april 1864 - Leuville-sur-Orge, 11 juni 1926) was een Georgisch politicus. Hij was eind 19e eeuw een van de drijvers achter de sociaaldemocratische en later ook mensjewistische beweging in Georgië, was tien jaar lid van de Staatsraad van het Russische Rijk (Doema), was voorzitter van het parlement van de onafhankelijke Democratische Republiek Georgië en leidde twee jaar de Georgische delegatie bij de Vredesconferentie van Parijs.

Biografie
Nikoloz Tsjcheidze werd geboren op 9 april 1864 (juliaans) in een adellijke familie in het dorp Poeti, gelegen in het west-Georgische Imereti. Het dorp ligt enkele kilometers ten zuiden van het historische fort Sjorapani, en lag destijds administratief in het oejezd Sjorapan van het Gouvernement Koetais (Keizerrijk Rusland). Als kind ging Tsjcheidze naar de dorpsschool, waarna hij zijn middelbare scholing vervolgde aan het Klassiek Gymnasium in Koetaisi. Het gymnasium maakte hij niet af vanwege onder andere dissidente activiteiten en deelname aan protesten.

Studentenactivisme
Tsjcheidze schreef zich in 1888 evenwel in bij de universiteit in Odessa (Oekraïne), de 'Universiteit van Novorossiejsk' (Nieuw Rusland). Aan de instelling studeerden veel Georgiërs omdat deze de dichtstbijzijnde universiteit was. Tbilisi kreeg pas in 1918 een universiteit. Er was dan ook een rijk Georgisch verenigingsleven in Odessa en tal van jonge Georgiërs waren betrokken bij de studentenbeweging, die met de tijd steeds meer een sociaal-politieke inslag kreeg. Er was verzet tegen de bureaucratie, tegen het politieoptreden, en tegen de beperking van studentenrechten. Net als op het gymnasium raakte Tsjcheidze hierbij betrokken en werd hij al na een jaar van de Faculteit Natuurkunde en Wiskunde gestuurd en vetrok hij naar Charkov. Bij het Veterinair Instituut werd hij voor vergelijkbaar activisme weggestuurd.

In de vrije tijd die hij hierdoor kreeg maakte hij kennis met de Narodniki revolutionaire beweging en verdiepte hij zich in het marxisme waar hij dermate door gefascineerd raakte dat het zijn verdere leven zou vormen. Zijn bewondering voor Karl Marx leidde ook tot zijn politieke roepnaam 'Karlo'. Tsjcheidze keerde zonder enige afgeronde opleiding terug naar Georgië waar hij in de mangaanmijnen van Tsjiatoera ging werken. Niet lang daarna ontmoette hij de schrijver Egnate Ninosjvili en werd hij geïntroduceerd in de Georgische sociaaldemocratische beweging.

Sociaal-Democratische Partij
Eind 1892 was Tsjcheidze met de groep rond Ninosjvili, waar zich ook Noe Zjordania onder bevond, betrokken bij de oprichting van de eerste Georgische sociaaldemocratische politieke partij, de Mesame Dasi (Derde Groep). In december 1892 werd in Kvirili, het hedendaagse Zestafoni vlakbij de geboorteplaats van Tsjcheidze, de klandestiene eerste conferentie van de partij gehouden. Jaren later zei Noe Zjordania dat Tsjcheidze in Mesame Dasi als een autoriteit werd gezien.

In 1894 verhuisde Tsjcheidze naar Batoemi en werd vier jaar later in de gemeenteraad van de belangrijke Zwarte Zee-stad gekozen, een positie die hij acht jaar zou vervullen. Hij was in deze periode tevens hoofd van een lokaal ziekenhuis. Hij ontplooide educatieve activiteiten voor de arbeiders en begon daartoe een zondagsschool om op deze wijze de marxistische leer te verspreiden en sterke partijorganisaties onder de arbeiders te bewerkstelligen. De oliefabrieken van Batoemi waren een voedzame bodem voor het socialistische gedachtegoed. De Georgische sociaaldemocraten hadden weliswaar een meer gematigde west-Europese en minder radicaal revolutionaire opvatting dan de Russische Sociaaldemocratische Arbeiderspartij (RSDAP), uiteindelijk ging 'Mesame Dasi' in 1903 op in de RSDAP.

Revolutie
In revolutiejaar 1905 leidde Tsjcheidze de demonstraties in Batoemi en Goeria. Hij was tevens actief betrokken bij het dempen van het Armeens-Tataarse (Azerbeidzjaanse) conflict dat zich in deze periode verspreid over Transkaukasië afspeelde. Tsjcheidze dook enige tijd onder om vervolging door de tsaristische autoriteiten te ontlopen en werkte hij enige tijd in Goeria om zich vervolgens in 1907 in Tbilisi te vestigen. In datzelfde jaar werd hij namens het stadsdistrict Nadzaladevi in de gemeenteraad verkozen voor de duur van vier jaar, en werd hij als sociaaldemocratische kandidaat namens het gouvernement Tiflis in de Staatsraad van het Russische Rijk (Doema) verkozen, dat in Petrograd (Sint-Petersburg) gevestigd was. Bij de begrafenis van de prominente en heilig verklaarde Georgische schrijver en intellectueel Ilia Tsjavtsjavadze hield Tsjcheidze een ongebruikelijke toespraak waarin hij het leven en werk van Tsjavtsjavadze vanuit een klassenstandpunt evalueerde.

Politiek in Rusland

Tsjcheidze nam in oktober 1907 zitting in de derde Russische Doema met achttien andere afgevaardigden van de Russische Sociaal-Democratische Partij die hem tot fractievoorzitter benoemden, wat een traditie voortzette. In de eerste en tweede Doema's werden de sociaaldemocratische fracties ook geleid door Georgiërs, namelijk Irakli Tsereteli en Noe Zjordania. Volgens Evgeni Gegetsjkori ontpopte Tsjcheidze zich in deze rol tot een vooraanstaand parlementslid wiens geluid in andere delen van Europa doordrong. Tsjcheidze was binnen de RSDAP een exponent van de mensjewieken, de socialistische politieke stroming die vooral onder Georgiërs populair werd. In de jaren na de revolutie begonnen de reactionaire krachten in het Russische Rijk terug te duwen, maar Tsjcheidze werd van links tot rechts dermate gerespecteerd dat hij buiten schot bleef van politieke onderdrukking.

Bij de verkiezingen in het najaar van 1912 voor de vierde Doema Tsjcheidze wederom een zetel namens het gouvernement Tiflis en werd hij ingezegend na een mislukte poging zijn mandaat in te laten trekken op beschuldiging van het overtreden van de kieswet. De sociaaldemocratische fractie, die nu was geslonken naar 14 leden, herkoos hem als voorzitter. Een jaar later kwam het tot een ideologische scheuring in de fractie, en splitsten de boljsewieken met zes leden zich af, waarna Tsjcheidze het overgebleven mensjewistische deel bleef leiden. Hij werd daarnaast lid van de Troedoviken, een gematigde reformistisch-socialistische in plaats van revolutionaire beweging die vooral de belangen en idealen van de kleine boeren uit de narodniki-beweging verdedigde.

Reformisme

Onderwerpen die hij initieerde of steunde hadden te maken met rechtstatelijke hervormingen, democratie en burgerrechten, waaronder de invoering van algemeen kiesrecht in Rusland, zelfbestuur in de Kaukasus (, , natie), gerechtelijke hervormingen, Georgische taalrechten op scholen en de afschaffing van de laatste restanten van het feodalisme in de Kaukasus, zoals de belasting die voormalige lijfeigenen moesten betalen aan de landeigenaren. Hij kwam met andere woorden niet alleen op voor de democratische waarden maar veelal ook de Georgische en Kaukasische belangen ten opzichte van het Russische tsaristische regime, waarbij hij niet schroomde het keizerlijke regime te beschuldigen van "terroristische daden" in de Kaukasus,  wat hij de "tweede verovering van de Kaukasus" noemde. Hij kaartte de kolonisatie van de regio aan, besprak de negatieve gevolgen van de afschaffing van de autocefalie van de Georgische kerk, de corruptie van staatsambtenaren en wetshandhavers en vele andere misstanden die de burgerrechten aantastten.

Zijn activistische speeches in de Doema, waarin hij zich ook uitsprak voor een nieuwe revolutie, leidden geregeld tot verbanning uit de plenaire zaal. In 1914 werd hij vervolgd nadat hij pleitte voor de vestiging van een echte parlementaire democratie, in een republikeinse staatsvorm, wat gezien werd als een pleidooi voor omverwerping van het bestaande regime. Tienduizenden arbeiders in Petrograd en Moskou staakten in een steunbetuiging aan Tsjcheidze, en de meeste fracties in de Doema protesteerden tegen de zaak, waarna de autoriteiten de zaak seponeerden.

Na de Februarirevolutie van 1917 werd Tsjcheidze voorzitter van de sovjet van Petrograd en bekritiseerde hij de radicale bolsjewieken. Tsjcheidze faciliteerde de terugkeer van Lev Trotski uit de Verenigde Staten en probeerde Vladimir Lenin tevergeefs te overtuigen dat Rusland nog niet klaar was voor het socialisme. Toen de bolsjewieken de meerderheid wonnen in de sovjet van Petrograd droeg  Tsjcheidze de voorzittershamer over aan Trotski en vertrok naar Georgië. Hij werd nog als lid van de mensjewistische fractie van de RSDAP in de Grondwetgevende Vergadering van Rusland gekozen, maar na de Oktoberrevolutie verschoof zijn aandacht definitief naar zijn moederland.

Democratische Republiek Georgië

Tsjcheidze werd in november 1917 lid van de Nationale Raad van Georgië, de wetgevende macht na de Oktoberrevolutie, en werd in februari 1918 voorzitter van de Transkaukasische Sejm (parlement) dat op 22 april 1918 de onafhankelijkheid uitriep van de Transkaukasische Federatieve Republiek. De Democratische Republiek Georgië scheidde zich daar vijf weken later op 26 mei van af, waarna Tsjcheidze voorzitter werd van de Nationale Raad van Georgië. Deze transformeerde zichzelf in september van dat jaar in naam tot Parlement, waar Tsjcheidze voorzitter van bleef, dat onder zijn hoede voorbereidingen trof voor de eerste vrije en democratische verkiezingen in de republiek. Deze verkiezingen voor de Constituerende Vergadering vonden plaats in februari 1919, waarna Tsjcheidze als verkozen lid wederom tot voorzitter werd benoemd. Een functie die hij tot het einde van de republiek zou uitoefenen.

Daarnaast was Tsjcheidze de Georgische delegatieleider bij de Vredesconferentie van Parijs en probeerde twee jaar lang de geallieerden ertoe te bewegen de republiek te erkennen en geclaimde territoria binnen te slepen. In 1921 werd Georgië bezet door het Rode Leger en vluchtte Tsjcheidze naar Frankrijk, waar hij in 1926 een einde aan zijn leven maakte.

Vermont Jobless rate jumps up half point
VERMONT'S JOB GROWTH REMAINS SLOW, BUT POSITIVE. UNEMPLOYMENT AT 4.9% IN MAY.Montpelier — The Vermont Department of Labor announced today that the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for May 2008 was 4.9 percent, up five-tenths of a point from the revised April rate of 4.4% and up 1.1 points from a year ago."Vermont's continued job growth is insufficient to hold down our growing unemployment rate," said Patricia Moulton Powden, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Labor. "This is to be expected in a national environment where unemployment is growing rapidly and the national economy continues to shed jobs. In addition, the seasonal transition in Vermont's labor market from April to May can be quite volatile depending on weather. This can lead to rapidly changing labor statistics. We should have a better picture of the State's labor market in the June numbers."Vermont's observed seasonally adjusted monthly changes in unemployment levels and unemployment rate are statistically different from April values. For comparison purposes, the US seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for March was 5.5 percent, up a similar five-tenths of a point from April 2008. Unemployment rates for Vermont's 17 labor market areas ranged from 2.8 percent in Hartford to 6.4 percent in Newport. Local labor market area unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. For comparison, the unadjusted unemployment rate for Vermont was 4.6 percent, down four-tenths of a point from April 2008.Jobs Data (Vermont's job count estimates are produced from a statewide survey of business establishments conducted under the Current Employment Survey (CES) – a cooperative effort with the US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.)Seasonally adjusted job levels grew by 1,200 or 0.4% over April, but remain flat over the year. Most of the growth came from the construction sector: +900 jobs or 6.1% but the sector remains down considerably on an annual basis (-600 jobs / -3.5%). We see the monthly gain as due to a slow start in April rather than a strong May. For similar reasons the Accommodations and Food Services sector shows a strong monthly decline (-600 jobs / -2.0%) What was bad weather for construction kept the ski resorts operating longer in April – thus the decline in May looked worse than is typically expected.Before seasonal adjustment, Total Non-Farm jobs grew seasonally by 4,500 jobs 1.5% from April to May.. Annual unadjusted job growth remains sluggish at +0.1%. Seasonal job gains were seen in construction (+2,400 / 16.4%), but the segment remains in decline showing a 650 job annual loss or -3.7%. Retail Trade jobs grew by 700 in May, but this seasonal boost was not enough to overcome annual job losses of 200 or -0.5%. Professional & Business services grew by 500 over the month and 150 or 0.7% over the year. Arts Entertainment & Recreation grew 700 jobs over the month offsetting a 700 job loss in Accommodations & Food Services. Local Government Education gained jobs in May, but this is almost certainly a school vacation scheduling issue. read more

Men in black? Dark shadows? Trump hits full conspiracy theory mode
On Tuesday, he told reporters about an "entire plane filled up with the looters, the anarchists, the rioters."The president then teased: "I'll see if I can get that information for you."He didn't.But distinct similarities emerged between Trump's plot and a conspiracy theory about airborne leftist provocateurs circulating on Facebook earlier this summer, prompting US media to ask if that was his supposedly secret source. Topics : Eight weeks before the US election, President Donald Trump is hurtling down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories filled with black-clad saboteurs, "dark shadows," the deep state, QAnon, and claims that he is victim of a coup and/or plans to rig the polls.The Republican's latest story is that a planeload of agitators deployed to disrupt his party convention in Washington last week — or something like that."We had somebody get on a plane from a certain city this weekend and in the plane it was almost completely loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms, black uniforms, with gear and this and that," he told Fox News on Monday. Election rigging The men in black and "shadows" narratives are just two threads in a Trump tapestry depicting his presidency as besieged by an unidentifiable "deep state" seeking to wreck his first term and fixing the election to ensure he doesn't get a second.He characterizes official probes into his relations with Russia — which US law enforcement has repeatedly accused of working to boost Trump's 2016 election chances — as a "hoax" and a "coup." Almost daily, he claims that increased mail-in voting, due to the coronavirus pandemic, is a gambit to "rig" the November election against him.The scale of the claims, made without evidence, is not far off the viral QAnon conspiracy theory that has been bubbling under the surface ever since early in the Trump presidency.QAnon posits that an anonymous, high-level government insider codenamed Q is heroically working to expose an anti-Trump cabal which is somehow also running an international Satanic pedophile child-trafficking ring and controlling the world.Q has ever-growing numbers of supporters both online and in real life, including among members of the public who come out to cheer Trump at rallies or other events. A Republican QAnon believer, Marjorie Taylor Greene, just won selection to run for a congressional safe seat in Georgia.Trump, who heartily congratulated Greene, is doing nothing to tamp down Q fever."It is gaining in popularity," Trump said approvingly last month. "They like me very much."Rich Hanley, a professor at Quinnipiac University's School of Communications, says Trump reflects — and profits from — a society ever more lost in the smoke and mirrors of the internet."He may be an outlier among presidents, but not among a growing number of conspiracy theory loving Americans," Hanley said.And with presidential election results potentially coming out only days after the polls close, due to much greater use of mail-in voting, paranoia and rumor-mongering is likely poised to hit an all-time high."It will be the Woodstock of conspiracy theories regardless of who wins, because this sort of fiction is so embedded now in the alternate reality of millions of people," Hanley said. Fact checking has become an industry in the age of Trump. Keeping up, though, is impossible.In the same Fox interview, Trump said that Biden, who leads in many polls ahead of the November 3 vote, is a puppet controlled by "people that you've never heard of, people that are in the dark shadows.""Sounds like a conspiracy theory," the Fox interviewer, Laura Ingraham, said."They're people you haven't heard of," Trump repeated. read more

Sr. Angela Betsch O.S.F.
Sr. Angela Betsch, age 90 of the Srs. of St. Francis in Oldenburg, died Thursday, November 24, 2016 at the convent. Born December 10, 1925 in Cincinnati, Ohio, she is the daughter of Antoinette (Nee: Peters) and Frank Betsch. She entered the convent October 4, 1944 and made her final vows August 12, 1950. A teacher and principal, schools included St. Ann's in Hamilton, Ohio, St. Mary's in Middletown, Ohio, St. Bernard's in Taylor Creek, Ohio; Immaculate Conception in Old Monroe, Missouri, Sacred Heart at Troy, Missouri; Holy Trinity in Indianapolis, Indiana; St. Anthony's in Streator, Illinois and St. Joseph's in Tari, Papua New Guinea.Sr. Angela grew up in the Cumminsville area of Cincinnati and move to White Oak later. She had fond memories of the family's Christmas and Easter celebrations during the Depression, recalling how they were taught to enjoy the simple things. Attending school in White Oak, she had many fond memories of the Sisters and priests who were her teachers, developing an appreciation of poetry, the classics, algebra and music. She would graduate from Colerain High School, recalling how a government representative spoke to her class about opportunities for girls to be typists, stenographers and file clerks. With "World War II looming on the horizon, the boys knew what they would be doing. I thought I'd try working as a typist, although it meant working in the downtown area of Cincinnati, which seemed to me to be miles away from home."A relative drove Sr. Angela downtown where the eager graduate applied for a typist job and was accepted the same day. She spent 18 months there before thoughts of entering religious life began. Her older sister Mary, had entered the Novitiate program at the convent and she grew more intrigued as Mary shared her experiences. The family visited Mary often and eventually Sr. Angela made the decision to enter the convent. She noted "What a full and fulfilling life followed!"Preparing for her 70th Jubilee, Sr. Angela noted, "I've lived a full life with happy memories of my novitiate years, challenging years working in the classroom and serving as principal, time spent as a nurse's aide at the convent, serving as a missionary in Papua New Guinea, ministry at the Catholic Charities in Chicago and various positions at the Motherhouse." I say as so many have, "For all that has been, thanks Lord."Sr. Angela is survived by numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to her parents, she is also preceded in death by sisters Mary Franke, Ruth Howell, Frances Daulton, Alberta Wissel, Anita Zeinner and brothers Frank, Anthony and Edward Betsch.Visitation is Tuesday, November 29th, from 1 – 3 p.m. at the convent chapel. Funeral services follow at 3 p.m. with Rev. Timothy Babcock. Burial will follow in the convent cemetery. Memorials may be made to the Srs. of St. Francis, P.O. Box 100, Oldenburg, Indiana, 47036 (www.oldenburgfranciscans.org). Weigel Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. read more

Jackson's game-winner lifts Wisconsin over No. 9 Michigan State
If there were ever any doubts about who would take the final shot for Wisconsin they were put to rest Sunday afternoon.It was Déjà Vu at the Kohl Center as, just like a week ago against Ohio State, Wisconsin would have the final possession with a chance to win, but that was where the similarities ended.This time, Traevon Jackson got a clean look off of a screen, took his patented lefty-jumper from the elbow and lifted Wisconsin (19-5, 6-5 Big Ten) over No. 9 Michigan State (20-4, 9-2) 60-58.Though Jackson didn't find success in a similar situation last week and he had only made two baskets before Wisconsin's final possession, head coach Bo Ryan still had confidence in his junior point guard to make something happen."He's the guy that earned that spot and he proved it last year with some big plays," Ryan said. "His decision making has been a little sporadic at times, but in a last second situation if it starts in his hands, I feel very confident we are going to get something."For Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo, there was no doubt as to whom he thought was going to take that shot for Wisconsin."I've watched two years worth of Jackson making game-winning shots, so I put my best defender on him and give the guy credit. He made another one," Izzo said.The Badgers were forced to take a game-winning shot in their final possession because Michigan State's Adreian Payne hit a three at the top of the key with just 10 seconds left.With some key players out for the Spartans — Keith Appling and Branden Dawson who both average over 10 points per game — Payne was forced to carry the brunt of the load offensively for Michigan State. In just his second game back after missing seven-straight games due to an injured foot, Payne responded with a game-high 24 points in 32 minutes, but none bigger than his long-range basket in the waning seconds."We executed that last 3-pointer as well as we've executed any play in 10 years," Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo said. "Give Payne credit. He hit a big shot being dead tired."Before things tightened up in the final minutes, Wisconsin was able to build an eight point lead (30-22) heading into halftime after Michigan State failed to score in the final 6:49 of the first half and allowing Wisconsin to go on an 11-0 run.The Spartans' offensive drought gave the Badgers a cushion that proved to be the difference at the end."I think the game was more or less lost in the end of the first half," Izzo said. "We didn't score in six minutes and they went on an 11-0 run. We just had so many guys on the bench in foul trouble and some guys in there that couldn't guard this table. That's disappointing."Other than Payne, the Spartans struggled to find any rhythm offensively as Travis Trice was the only other Spartan to hit double figures while sophomore guard Gary Harris, who leads the Big Ten in scoring with 18.2 points per game, went 3-for-20 from the field and 0-for-7 from beyond the arc in a 6-point effort.Harris entered the second half having not made a shot and was 0-for -10 from the floor before he made back-to-back transition dunks in less than 30 seconds with just over 17 minutes left in the game. But, that would be the highlight of Harris' day as he struggled to score for the rest of the game.It was a different story for Wisconsin who has two players trending up in terms of recent offensive performance.Sam Dekker, who struggled with his shot before netting 16 in his last outing against Illinois, hit the first shot of the game with a shot from outside the arc. From there Dekker went on to put up 11 points on 3-of-6 shooting from three-point range.But it was freshman forward Nigel Hayes that was the epitome of consistency on the offensive end for the Badgers, hitting mid-range jumper after mid-range jumper and drawing fouls around the rim, prompting coach Ryan to proclaim "Nigel is pretty special."Wisconsin's win over Michigan State snapped a five-game losing streak to the Spartans and a three-game losing streak at home.Dekker knows the win over the Spartans will give a little bit of "mojo" back to his team that has been reeling for the last couple of weeks."It was a pretty sour taste," Dekker said of Wisconsin's three-game home losing streak. "You take a lot of pride in playing in from of [the fans], and you want to go out and perform as well as you can for them, and we weren't doing that. So this is big to get back to our winning ways and get that little mojo back in the Kohl Center. read more

Nelson survives series against pesky Rebels, off to provincials in Smithers
By Bruce FuhrThe Nelson Daily SportsNelson is going to the B.C. Hockey Tier III Bantam Rep Championship tournament next month in Smithers.Which is really no surprise considering how the Leafs owned the Castlegar Rebels during the regular season.However, this playoff series was far from a walk in the park for the Leafs as the Rebels played Nelson tough in all three games losing the first-team-to-four-points series 5-1."It feels great to be going (to Smithers)," said Nelson defenceman Tyler Podgorenko from outside the winner's dressing room. "We've come a long way since the start of the season and worked through that entire game so this feels really good."The Leafs clinched the West Kootenay title by rallying from a 3-0 deficit to steal a 5-4 victory Sunday before a boisterous crowd at the NDCC Arena.Sawyer Hunt scored the winning goal at 37 seconds of the third period, and Brayden Pompu made some key saves in the final minutes to power the home side to the series clinching victory."I let in a few bad goals I shouldn't have let in but then after that I got some help from our goalie coach (Ian Perreault) . . . he's an amazing goalie coach who's helped me all year and he helped me get a lot of confidence at the end," a beaming Pompu, who had a key kick save in the final minutes of the third period to preserve the win, told The Nelson Daily.Chase Butula got the scoring started for Castlegar before Edward Lindsey and Craig Pilla gave the visitors the three-goal advantage at the first intermission.But Nelson rebounded in the second, scoring two goals in two minutes. Sam Weber got the Leafs going before Brandon Sookro cut the margin to 3-2. Nolan Percival tied the game at the midway point of the period."I don't know what happened," said Nelson captain Colton Dachwitz. "(Castlegar) just came out on fire and we just didn't come out as hard as they did.""(But) we never gave up," Dachwitz, making his fourth trip to a provincial tournament. "We got re-focused in the dressing room and that helped us get back in the game in the second."Castlegar regained the lead when Nick Evdokimoff beat Pompu but Dachwitz tied the game before the period ended.In the third Hunt pounced on a loose puck to score the game-winning goal."We just wanted to get it deep and buy time," Dachwitz said when asked about the strategy in the third period. "We knew their goalie was letting out a lot of rebounds so we just wanted to capitalize on them."Nelson had a chance to increase the lead but Percival missed a penalty shot and Hunt saw the puck roll of his stick while staring at a wide-open net.Nelson opened the series with a 9-3 victory Friday in game one. Trailing 3-2 after one period, the Leafs out scored the Rebels 7-1.Sam Weber led the Leafs with two goals while Brandon Sookro had a goal and two assists.Saturday, Castlegar forced a third game after rallying from a 6-3 deficit to grab a 7-7 tie.Michael Viala scored three times and Grayson Reitmeyer added a pair to lead the Nelson offence. Dylan Whiffen and Hunt added singles.The comeback point proved to Castlegar coach Grant Pilla the drive his team displayed in the playoffs."Coming in we were the underdogs as Nelson has a pretty strong team but my guys peaked at the right time," Pilla explained. "They decided they didn't want to finish the season without leaving it all on the ice . . .. "And I'm proud of them . . . I've very proud of them for the way the played."ICE CHIPS: Nelson played without key forward Michael Viala, who was suspended for Sunday's game after receiving a misconduct in the final 10 minutes of the third period of Saturday's 7-7 tie. . . . Nelson defenceman Carson Arcuri injured his leg in the series. . . .During Friday's game there was more action off the ice than on the ice as parents from both teams exchanged words. Some parents needed to be removed from the arena.sports@thenelsondaily.com read more

Richter scores hat trick to help Nitros even KIJHL Final against Wranglers
The series now shifts to the Central BC Interior for Games three and four, Tuesday and Wednesday in 100 Mile House.Despite being outshot 30-22 in the game, it was the host squad that struck for two first period goals by Richter to open a 2-0 lead.The teams exchanged second period goals — Justin Bond cutting the lead to 2-1 with a power play goals 55 seconds into the frame before Richter scored this third of the game three minutes later.In the third 100 Mile House pushed to get back into the game, out shooting the Dynamiters 12-4 in the period.However, Allstar netminder Tyson Brouwer was solid between the pipes, stopping all 12 shots before Tanner Witt scored Kimberley's fourth goal into an empty net.Witt and Korbyn each finished the game with two points for Kimberley.The win was the 13th of the playoff run for Brouwer against three losses.Kimberley needs to win at least one game in 100 Mile House to guarantee the series returns to the Bavarian City for Game six (Saturday) and, if necessary, seven (Sunday). Not so fast 100 Mile House Wranglers.The defending Kootenay International Junior Hockey League champs are not willing to let their title go without a fight.Jason Richter scored a natural hat trick to power the Nitros to a 4-1 decision over the 100 Mile House Wranglers Sunday in KIJHL Finals action in Kimberley.The victory evens the best-of-seven series a 1-1.100 Mile House struck first in the series, edging Kimberley 2-1 Saturday. read more

Philips hue to Mark Colorful Start to 2014 at Times Square
TV Audience of Over One Billion to See Programmable LED Bulbs Light Iconic New Year's Numerals in Vibrant Color
New York, NY – When the glittering Times Square New Year's Eve Ball descends to mark the beginning of 2014, the "1" and "4" will be illuminated for the first time in ever-changing colors using 207 of the revolutionary and programmable hue bulbs from Philips, the global leader in lighting. A global TV audience of over one billion viewers will see the LED bulbs, with more than 16 million color options each, colorfully ring in the new year as people tune in for the iconic celebration. The "2" and "0" will maintain Philips' outdoor rated BR30 LED bulbs.
New Year's 2014 marks the 14th consecutive year that Philips Lighting has served as the official lighting partner to the world-famous Times Square New Year's Eve – produced by the Times Square Alliance and Countdown Entertainment. The bulbs being used in the "1" and "4" come from the innovative Philips hue line, which is the first personalized LED lighting system that allows users to control their home lighting directly from an iOS or Android device.
"We have been partnering with Philips since 1999 to light the Times Square Ball, which is now the largest crystal ball in the world illuminated by Philips LED technology and a universal symbol of celebration," said Jeffrey Straus, president of Countdown Entertainment. "We look forward ringing in the new year again with Philips bringing that same innovation to 2014!"
The new Philips hue BR30 downlight bulbs, were released last month and share the same Philips LUXEON LEDs as the Times Square Ball, which itself has 32,256 LEDs and uses less energy than two standard wall ovens.
"Light, color and cutting-edge technology are what people think of when they think of Times Square, especially in recent years as more and more tech firms have come to Times Square," said President of the Times Square Alliance Tim Tompkins.
"It's great to be working with Countdown Entertainment and the Times Square Alliance to extend our software-based systems from the Ball to the numbers this year," said Bruno Biasiotta, President and CEO of Philips Lighting Americas. "Just like the Times Square Ball, the hue system offers 85 percent energy savings compared to traditional incandescent technologies and offers a unique app-based and flexible lighting experience."
The Philips hue range is available at Apple stores, Apple.com, and a network of 550 approved Apple resellers across Europe and at Amazon.com in the United States. For more information about Philips hue, please visit www.meethue.com.

Is the Times a newspaper?
It looks to me like it is official now.
We no longer have a daily English language newspaper in El Paso.
As you know there were two city council runoff elections in El Paso last Saturday.
The Sunday paper made no mention of the results.
This is probably because much of the work of publishing the Times has been moved out of town.
Evidently they can no longer bring us the daily news.
The local events that they cover are written about some days after they occur.
We do get to read their opinions disguised as reporting.
This entry was posted on Thursday, December 20th, 2018 at 5:00 AM and is filed under El Paso Times.	You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed. You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

Bright=appearing to have enough intelligence to walk without the bubble gum getting entangled with their shoelaces. El Paso=#1 in apathy in the World.
Last time I subscribed to the Times was about two years ago. Finally gave in to the phone calls and took weekends only. Every weekend was the same, one day or the other or every day. The paper wasn't delivered. So it was spend hours on the phone, talking to a RECORDING, trying to get the papers. Sometimes they brought a paper, mostly they didn't. And there was no use to call back AGAIN. No Writers, no Reporting, Reporters. All the Times really needs is one person to run a COPY machine. US Today, Washington Post, RE-PRINTS. LAST weeks "News", today.
Eh, I don't bother with the dead tree edition of the Times but I remembered seeing a story about the runoff this weekend. A quick search of their website and it looks like they had a reasonably in depth story written by Aaron Martinez up by 7:09pm Dec 15, 2018. They've also updated it as of 4 days ago.
End of the day I think the big issue for a lot of the things you bring up isn't that "we deserve better" it's actually that as a community our apathy is so bad that we really don't. People don't care to go out and vote, people don't care to show up at public meetings, people don't care to get to know their city reps. Is it any wonder that some of the shady things that seem to happen here keep happening here? Some of those things might not even be entirely shady they might just be the result of reps hearing from interested parties and not really hearing coherent opposition from anyone else.
down the Silver City Sun-News, the offshoot of the Las Cruces Sun News. Whether the Times is still run by Gannett, or not, these major newspaper conglomerates are more & more rejecting local news coverage, & focusing exclusively on regional & national ad buys.
The Times may be an extreme case of editorial neglect, but it's far from unique in its abdication of all but the most high profile news. If El Diario were smart, they would add English pages to their El Paso edition.
And, local television news is just a revolving door (except for Estela) for bright young people on the way to somewhere else. Now, don't get me wrong. Just because I refer to them as 'bright' does not mean they are capable of putting together a complete sentence, or of demonstrating any ability to function as journalists.
I spent a couple hours around the new guy at 7, Erik Elken. Smart guy, interested and perceptive. They may be using him as a talking head but he could do more. Don't know how long before a bigger market headhunts him.


So. Many of my conversations recently have veered on to the topic of health and wellness, and invariably I somehow manage to steer it in the direction of what I put in to my morning superfood smoothie. I know. You don't have to tell me. My chat is awesome.
But before you start feeling sorry for my friends, especially the ones who get a tour of my pantry during parties, 'just LOOK at these chia seeds', I think you may be interested too. Because it's the easiest and quickest way to get a shedload of nutrients in to your body, right at the time of the day when it's primed to receive them. When you're breaking fast.
The photo in this post is not of my morning smoothie, but of a much prettier, mason jar-ed smoothie. My smoothie ends up looking something like what you'd find in a baby's nappy, or (what one of my colleagues fondly refers to it as) pond scum. I am glad to report that it tastes like neither, and is in fact quite delicious.
Protein (2 tbsp) I'm currently using Vital Protein, but have also used Ezy Protein and Ultimate Warrior which are both great. I'm not a fan of the muscle building protein powders that come in five kilo kegs – they're full of a considerable amount of crud and have made me sick in the past. So now I stick to the highest quality ones available at health food stores.
Spirulina Powder (1-2 tsp): Also known as nature's multivitamin, spirulina is one of the most complete and nutritious forms of food available on the planet. One serve (about a teaspoon) of spirulina has the antioxidant qualities of eating two serves of vegetables. It includes 20 amino acids, vitamin B12, beta-carotene, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids (Omegas 3 + 6), and an abundance of trace minerals, elements and enzymes that keep your body singing with health. I use the Hawaiian Pacifica brand and have been really happy with it – I can't taste it at all when it's mixed in to a smoothie.
Chia seeds (1 tbsp): These little guys contain Vitamins A, B12 and C, are a pretty complete protein (with 18 amino acids), and are a good source of potassium, phosphorous, folate, zinc, iron, and calcium. They're also a great source of bowel-regulating soluble and insoluble fibre.
Maca powder (half tbsp): This is a ground root grown in Peru and it helps to level out hormones (in both men and women), increases endurance and energy (including sexual energy), helps to build muscle mass, and improves fertility. I've been told that it's good to take regular breaks from maca, due to its stimulant effects, which I do by only having it during weekdays, and not on weekends. If you've never taken it before, start with small doses and slowly build your way up.
Raw Cacao (half tbsp-one tbsp): The basic form of chocolate, raw cacao hasn't been heat treated and still has all of its beneficial elements intact. It's the richest antioxidant food in the world (15 times more than green tea), the number one natural source of magnesium (nature's anti-anxietal), is high in iron, and promotes cardio-vascular health. And it's yummy.
LSA (Ground Linseed – aka Flaxseed), Sunflower Seeds, Almonds) (1 tbsp): This combo is a powerhouse of nutrients – but is especially rich in Omega 3s, which are great for healthy brain and heart functioning.
Extra virgin Coconut oil (1 tbsp): Previously maligned, coconut oil has been found to contain an array of great properties for our bodies. It's anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, helps to regulate blood sugar, can boost thyroid function, and contains lauric acid which increases the good HDL cholesterol in the blood, helping to improve cholesterol ratio levels.
Handful of frozen berries: Usually raspberries, or a mix of raspberries and blueberries.
Honey or Rice Malt Syrup: I usually get a plain protein powder, which needs a bit of sweetening. If you get chocolate of vanilla flavour, there's absolutely no need to sweeten.
Varying additions: Kale, aloe vera, puppy dogs' tails (just to check if you're still reading).
I pop all of this in to a blender, and Bob's your uncle. I use the Tribest personal blender and it works a treat. Especially because I can whiz it, pop a lid on the cup and go. I find that this smoothie keeps me well satiated until about 10:30am or so, but have sometimes been completely fine all the way through to lunch.
I can see that little eyebrow of yours raising over the complete lack of dairy in a SMOOTHIE. It's practically a given usually. But relax, it's delicious without it. Almond milk and oat milk are brilliant substitutes if you want it extra creamy, but I find that I get a creamy enough texture just using purified water.
Dairy and I are not exactly on brilliant terms with one another. We aren't mortal enemies, but I guess you could kind of call us frenemies. I do love her so, and we hang out every so often, but any prolonged interaction leaves me feeling less than my best. How best to put this? Well, if producing phlegm was an Olympic sport, I'd be a podium finish for sure. How delightful! Needless to say, minimising my exposure is in my best interests.
So that's it. My morning superfood smoothie. Now that it's all written out, I will no longer be regaling my friends and unsuspecting acquaintances with its ingredients and all their many health benefits.
I'll just hound them to read my blog instead. Lucky them!
Are you a smoothie drinker? Have any other fave ingredients to share? I'd love to hear your suggestions below.
Thanks Carly. As always, an informative and superbly written blog. One question – how do you purify your water? Some other suggestions – to use agave nectar as another way to sweeten, goji berries are a must and baby spinach an excellent to get your greens without the bitterness! I also love to sprinkle caramelised buckwheat kernels on the top for a healthy, yum crunch!
Every smoothie I make is an experiment. Today's wasn't so crash hot! 🙂 I will have to try your recipe. Your dairy comments made me laugh (and sometimes relate too). Zymil is a good friend for me when the desire for milk strikes. Sometimes I do suspect that coconut oil gives me headaches but I'm still testing that theory.
Carly! Love the recipe. What kind of blender do you have? I'm about to invest and like the sound of one that I can pop the lid on and take with me to work!

Home/Sports/Because of the following factors we strongly advise against purchasing FIFA 23
Because of the following factors we strongly advise against purchasing FIFA 23
Jake Send an email May 27, 2022
The fact that it exists has already been brought to our attention, so there is no issue there. The following is a list of reasons why you should not purchase FIFA 23: Ultimate Team if the gameplay does not meet your expectations in terms of quality. Since its inception, esports has grown tremendously, and it is now a multibillion-dollar industry worldwide.
As a regular FIFA player, you may find FIFA 23 Coins extremely frustrating to be required to play the game on a regular basis. It was also possible to play Fifa 22 up until a certain point, but after that, a January patch significantly reduced the game's accessibility. When the game is first released, it is entertaining and has a compelling storyline to follow. However, as the game progresses, it becomes less so. However, as the game progresses, this becomes less and less of an obstacle. For their part, the Thorstens are an entirely different story. Despite the fact that they are all over the age of 50, they have a history of getting their asses kicked in the Weekend League.9% of the community has been corrupted as a result of the patch. One player stated that he would no longer be participating in FIFA 22.
When Buying FIFA 23: Pay to Win, Here's What You Should Know About the Game – When Buying FIFA 23: Pay to Win, Here's What You Should Know About the Game.
According to the version you choose, FIFA costs between 70 and 100 euros, and in order to be successful in Ultimate Team, you must spend FIFA Points to purchase packs that will allow you to level up your team. To obtain a rare item such as a CR7 through regular gameplay and trading would require months of grinding and searching. When it comes to attracting good players through a system that is similar to betting, purchasing FIFA Points is the most straightforward solution. There are several options for acquiring FIFA Points, but this is the most straightforward option. This system is unlikely to be changed in the foreseeable future, given that Electronic Arts generates billions of Euros in revenue from the Ultimate Team franchise alone. It doesn't matter how dire the situation is, no company in the world will be willing to give up that kind of profit margin under any circumstances. It is our greatest hope that Electronic Arts (EA) will be accused of gambling and that as a result of this, they will be prohibited from selling FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs in the future, which would be a significant victory for the gaming community.
Europe's top clubs are being courted by rival platforms eFootball and Strikerz Inc., which are stepping up their efforts in an attempt to win them over to their platforms. are stepping up their efforts in an attempt to win them over to their platforms. are stepping up their efforts to win them over. Particularly prevalent in the Italian Serie A, where a large number of fictitious clubs compete against legitimate clubs, is this phenomenon. Juventus Turin, along with other clubs such as Roma FC (AS Roma), Bergamo Calcio (Atalanta Bergamo) and Latinum, were the catalysts for the development of Italian football, which reached its zenith with Lazio in the 1960s and 1970s. In the vast majority of cases, the beginning point of this series of license revocations will not be the beginning point of a series of license revocations that will most likely continue in the future. FC Bayern Munich fans in Germany have already suffered their first setbacks as a result of the closure of the Allianz Arena this season, more than two years after the stadium was closed (the stadium served as the club's home stadium). However, it is ironic that the most visually stunning arena on the planet, which happens to be located in Germany, is not included on this list, despite its widespread popularity. We have no plans to acquire any additional licenses in the foreseeable future, but we do not intend to be without them for an extended period of time. Fortunately, as a result of your high earnings, you should be able to dig a little deeper into the depths of your wallet in order to supplement your income.
Participation in the competition does not necessitate the purchase of the game FIFA 23: Esports Management by the participants.
Since the outbreak of the pandemic, Electronic Arts has completely ignored the competitive Esports scene, as a result of which they have lost all credibility in the eyes of the general public. It has not been ruled out the possibility of an offline event being held in the future to serve as a replacement for the official world championship, despite the fact that there is no longer an official world championship. Can you tell us what it is about the Epsort scene that Electronic Arts does not consider important enough for us to be aware of? How can we find out exactly what it is about the Epsort scene that Electronic Arts does not consider important enough for us to be aware of? On the other hand, there are currently no events taking place, which is a positive development. The first point to mention is that EA did a disservice to the esports community by reducing the number of Weekend League games from 40 to 20 in an attempt to save money. Alternatively, it is possible that the Canadians are currently engaged in the process of formulating a restructuring plan for their own country.
In any case, FIFA 23 is a paid-for title that cannot be obtained for free in any manner. Nowadays, the prices for new cars on the market are extremely high, with prices averaging between 70 and 100 euros being the norm in the majority of cases. When deciding whether or not to purchase FIFA 23, you should take your time because it is a significant financial investment. Moreover, in addition to the arguments listed above, we will present some compelling arguments for why you should buy FIFA 23 Coins in the coming days.
