Up until White, the general consensus was that the common spaces in a condominium or apartment were not subject to a reasonable expectation of privacy by the building occupants. Courts had routinely rendered decisions rejecting reasonable expectation of privacy claims in several cases involving the common areas of multi-unit buildings. In R. v. White, the Ontario Court of Appeal found that surveillance in the common spaces of an apartment building can engage the occupant's section 8 rights. This paper seeks to explore the underlying basis for the Court's decision.

Lonnie Rae is an American business executive, strategist, and human rights advocate focused in healthcare and machine learning. She is the CEO, President and Co-Founder of Medal, Inc, a technology company specializing in the extraction and transformation of unstructured clinical data to generate intelligent longitudinal patient profiles and automate the population of thousands of common medical forms for insurers and government entities through state of the art machine learning. She serves as a mentor to Henkel and to Founders Embassy, the world's first embassy designed for international and immigrant entrepreneurs committed to making a positive impact on the world.
Beginning in 2011 she has worked to understand and address the care of underserved populations around the globe. She has been recognized as a "Badass Woman in Health Tech" due to her abandonment of her M.D. degree with a remaining 8 months after compiling research which indicated the majority of her patient population was dying of information-related errors, estimating that an 8-month delay in her work was equivalent to 166,666 unnecessary deaths. She is known amongst the healthcare community for having founded her company after being hit by a bus. Two years later, she subsequently overcame and discovered the underlying contributors to an unrelated "incurable" illness in order to continue her work. Lonnie has become an advocate for affordable commercial solutions to reduce healthcare waste and improve outcomes.
Her talks have reached tens of thousands of individuals and she has spoken on Capitol Hill, at the White House, and at numerous private events on patient rights, the future of healthcare, and how to implement personalized medicine at scale. She asserts that we need effective management strategies, and not ones that force us to choose who lives, who dies, and who suffers without cause, but rather ones that recast the problem to understand how we treat each member of the population effectively and affordably.

Bad Boys for Life (MA15+)
1917 (MA15+)
Two young British soldiers during the First World War, are given an impossible mission: deliver a message, deep in enemy territory, that will stop their own men, and Blake's own brother, from walking straight into a deadly trap.
Dolittle (PG)
After losing his wife seven years earlier, the eccentric Dr. John Dolittle (Downey), famed doctor and veterinarian of Queen Victoria's England, hermits himself away behind the high walls of Dolittle Manor with only his menagerie of exotic animals for company. But when the young queen (Jessie Buckley, Wild Rose) falls gravely ill, a reluctant Dolittle is forced to set sail on an epic adventure to a mythical island in search of a cure, regaining his wit and courage as he crosses old adversaries and discovers wondrous creatures. The doctor is joined on his quest by a young, self-appointed apprentice (Dunkirk's Harry Collett) and a raucous coterie of animal friends, including an anxious gorilla (Oscar® winner Rami Malek), an enthusiastic but bird-brained duck (Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer), a bickering duo of a cynical ostrich (The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani) and an upbeat polar bear (John Cena, Bumblebee) and a headstrong parrot (Oscar® winner Emma Thompson), who serves as Dolittle's most trusted advisor and confidante.
Bombshell (M)
Starring Academy Award® winner Charlize Theron, Academy Award® winner Nicole Kidman, Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow and Academy Award® nominee Margot Robbie, based on the real scandal, BOMBSHELL is a revealing look inside the most powerful and controversial media empire of all time and the explosive story of the women who brought down the infamous man who created it.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (M)
The surviving Resistance faces the First Order once more as Rey, Finn and Poe Dameron's journey continues. With the power and knowledge of generations behind them, the final battle commences.
Little Women (G)
Acclaimed actress, writer & director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) brings together a stellar cast in a new adaptation of the beloved novel by Louisa May Alcott.
Like a Boss (M)
Best friends Mia and Mel (Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne) are living their best lives running their own cosmetics company they've built from the ground up. Unfortunately, they're in over their heads financially, and the prospect of a big buyout offer from a notorious titan of the cosmetics industry Claire Luna (Salma Hayek) proves too tempting to pass up, putting Mel and Mia's lifelong friendship in jeopardy. The beauty business is about to get ugly.
Just Mercy (M)
Just Mercy shadows world-renowned civil rights defense attorney Bryan Stevenson as he recounts his experiences and details the case of a condemned death row prisoner whom he fought to free.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood (PG)
Two-time Oscar®-winner Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy winner Matthew Rhys) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his scepticism, learning about empathy, kindness, and decency from America's most beloved neighbour.
The Grudge (MA15+)
A house is cursed by a vengeful ghost that dooms those who enter it with a violent death.

FOOD LOVERS - TEN OF THE BEST
Ireland for Food Lovers is divided into seven tourist regions and lists just 20 special places to eat and stay in each one – except the South-West, which is so important in both tourism and food terms that Cork and Kerry are given extra coverage, with each counting as a sub-region.
The Eat & Stay recommendations are selected for their dedication to showcasing the very best of local produce, and also chosen to represent the range of styles and price ranges offered in the hospitality of each region, so you may expect a choice ranging from restaurants, pubs and cafes to grand hotels, country houses, guesthouses, B&Bs and farmhouse accommodation.
The selections in the book aim for a balance - geographical, price and style – and there are many more equally desirable destinations to be found on Ireland-guide.com.
The following establishments are great places to stay and especially known for their delicious home produced and local food.
SOUTH-WEST/CO KERRY: Gormans Clifftop House & Restaurant
Glaise Bheag Ballydavid Dingle Peninsula Co Kerry
Sile and Vincent Gorman's house is beautifully situated on the Slea Head scenic drive and Dingle Way walking route. Commanding superb sea views from the restaurant (sunsets can be spectacular), warm Dingle Bay prawn salad, potato cake & Annascaul black pudding, local fish and the ever-popular sirloin steak (Irish Hereford beef) taste even better in this setting, with salad and summer vegetables from their own organic garden.
SOUTH-WEST/CO CORK: Longueville House
Mallow Co Cork
Overlooking the River Blackwater, the location of the O'Callaghan family's estate is truly lovely. Home- and locally-produced food is at the heart of all of owner William O'Callaghan's cooking, including an artisan product range made for sale. The river, farm and garden supply fresh salmon in season, the famous Longueville lamb, all the fruit and vegetables; in autumn, mushroom hunts yield an abundance of fungi. Extensive orchards produce abundant supplies of apple juice, which they serve fresh to guests and also use to make the delicious Longueville House Cider - and even their own apple brandy
SOUTH-EAST: Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort
The Island Ballinakill Waterford
Idyllically situated on its own wooded island (complete with 18-hole golf course) and reached by a private ferry, this atmospheric hotel dates back to the 15th century and meals are served in an impressive, richly panelled dining room. Menus are not long but outstanding food is intelligently sourced and spankingly fresh and local, displaying chef Michael Quinn's Euro-Toques and Slow Food background. Each concisely-worded dish tells the story of its origins: O'Flynn's beef tongue and cheek salad; seared Kilmore Quay scallops; tian of Mrs Bate's crab; Paul Crotty's organic chicken breast; local cheeses, including Knockalara Sheep's and Crozier Blue. Magic.
SOUTH-EAST Hanoras Cottage
Nire Valley Co Waterford
The Wall family's gloriously remote guesthouse and restaurant is a very special place, offering country air, comfort, genuine hospitality and great food - notably their legendary breakfast buffet, a gargantuan feast designed to see you many miles along the hills before you stop for a little packed lunch (prepared that morning), and ultimately return for dinner... Keen supporters of small suppliers, Euro-Toques chefs Eoin and Judith Wall offer imaginative menus using local produce - fresh fish from Dunmore East, free-range chickens from Stradbally and local cheeses, for example. [Closed Christmas, but open for walking breaks over New Year]
EAST: Rathsallagh House
Dunlavin Co Wicklow
Breakfast could well be the most important meal at the O'Flynn family's gorgeous, rambling country house as they've won a superfluity of awards for a magnificent Edwardian breakfast buffet offering every conceivable good thing, including reminders of yesteryear like smoked salmon kedgeree, and devilled kidneys in silver chafing dishes. But brilliant as breakfasts are, dinner is the main meal and a real treat it is too, with interesting daily-changing menus based on local and seasonal produce, much of it from Rathsallagh's own farm and their beautiful walled gardens – which garden lovers will adore.
MIDLANDS Lough Bishop House
Derrynagarra Collinstown Co Westmeath
In a beautifully scenic area awash with lakes, gentle hills and rich farmland, Helen and Christopher Kelly's organic farm comes complete with Irish Draught horses, and offers a warm welcome in a genuine Irish family home - with excellent home-cooked food, showcasing the fine foods the area has to offer. Breakfast includes delicious home baked bread, fresh fruit and apple juice from the orchard and, if dining in, it's one of very few places in Ireland where you'll get a chance to eat purebred traditional Irish Moiled beef as well as home produced lamb, free range eggs and fruit. Lough Bishop House is a former winner of our Farmhouse of the Year award, and they also scooped the Farmhouse category in our Irish Breakfast Awards.
WEST: Renvyle House Hotel
Renvyle Co Galway
Remote and romantic, the Lutyens-esque house at the heart of this unusual hotel has a fascinating history. Snuggling down for shelter amidst the magnificently rugged scenery, it feels cosy with its dark beams and rug strewn floors – and a snug conservatory where guests can contemplate healthy outdoor activities while enjoying the scent of a turf fire and a comfortable armchair. All this, plus head chef Tim O'Sullivan's excellent food, can be magic. Menus (in both bar and restaurant) feature Connemara produce, including Renvyle rack of lamb, local lobster and vegetables in season.... And it's all in Tim's cookery book, too. [Closed 1-21 Dec & 7 Jan - 8 Feb]
WEST : Dromoland Castle
Newmarket-on-Fergus Co Clare
The ancestral home of the O'Briens, this is an enchanting place, where wide corridors lined with oak panelling are hung with ancient portraits and scented with wood smoke, and it has all the crystal chandeliers and massive antiques to be expected in a real Irish castle. Dining here is always a treat. Executive Head Chef David McCann's offering is predictably glamorous, with both wine list and service a match for the food. Although the style is basically classic French, the sourcing of ingredients is immaculate and some dishes highlight local ingredients and are more Irish in tone. The Fig Tree Restaurant at Dromoland Golf & Country Club is also excellent.
NORTH-WEST: Knockranny House Hotel & Spa
Knockranny, Westport, Co Mayo
This spacious and well-appointed privately owned hotel has earned a reputation for genuine hospitality – and outstanding food, served in a restaurant blessed with views over handsome Westport town towards Croagh Patrick. Acclaimed head chef, Seamus Commons – a local man, returned to delight visitors with his sophisticated yet playful cooking - takes local ingredients (lobster, Clew Bay prawns, sweet Mayo lamb, samphire, oyster cress…) and classic French technique as his starting point and develops its own individualism, taking a particular delight in contrasts of flavour, texture and colour. An 8-course Tasting Menu sees this gifted chef at his best. [Open all year except Christmas.]
NORTH: Newforge House
Newforge Road Magheralin Craigavon Co Armagh BT67 0QL
Although less than half an hour's drive from Belfast, John and Louise Mathers' lovely Georgian country house feels like worlds away, in a wonderful setting of mature trees, gardens and green fields on the edge of the quiet village of Magheralin. Built around 1785, and in the Mathers family for six generations, the property is substantial – and elegantly restored for guests. John is the chef, and he takes pride in presenting meals based mostly on home grown or local and organic produce – and his style of refined simplicity sits well in the fine dining room. [Closed Christmas - early Jan]

Explore the wonderful West coast of Ireland by taking a tour around some or all of the Wild Atlantic Way
East Cork
With a rich historical and maritime legacy, East Cork has a truly unique variety of attractions to offer the visitor. It is a haven for family holidays with a huge range of activities and attractions to keep the whole family entertained for hours.
In this extensive county, the towns and villages have their own distinctive character. In West Cork, their spirit is preserved in the vigour of the landscape with the handsome coastline where the light of the famous Fastnet Rock swings across tumbling ocean and spray-tossed headland. The county is a repository of the good things of life, a treasure chest of the finest farm produce, and the very best of seafood, brought to market by skilled specialists.
Ring of Kerry
The town of Killarney is where the Ring of Kerry begins and ends for many, among the lakes and mountains where they are re-establishing the enormous white-tailed sea eagle, has long been a magnet for visitors. Across the purple mountains from Killarney, the lovely little town of Kenmare in South Kerry is both a gourmet focus, and another excellent touring centre. As one of the prettiest places in Ireland, Kenmare puts the emphasis on civic pride.
The Burren
That Galway Bay coastline in Co. Clare is where The Burren, the fantastical North Clare moonscape of limestone which is home to so much unexpectedly exotic flora, comes plunging spectacularly towards the sea around the attractive village of Ballyvaughan.
Connemara, the Land of the Sea, where earth, rock and ocean intermix in one of Ireland's most extraordinary landscapes, and is now as ever a place of angling renown - you're very quickly into the high ground and moorland which sweep up to the Twelve Bens and other splendid peaks, wonderful mountains which enthusiasts would claim as the most beautiful in all Ireland. Beyond, to the south, the Aran Islands are a place apart.
The wonderful northwest
Erne Waterway
Rivers often divide one county from another, but Fermanagh is divided - or linked if you prefer - throughout its length by the handsome waters of the River Erne, both river and lake. Southeast of the historic county town of Enniskillen, Upper Lough Erne is a maze of small waterways meandering their way into Fermanagh from the Erne'e source in County Cavan.
Shannon Waterway
Co Cavan shares the 667 m peak of Cuilcagh with neighbouring Fermanagh. No ordinary mountain, this - it has underground streams which eventually become the headwaters of the lordly River Shannon, Ireland's longest river that passes south through many counties before exiting at the mighty estuary in Limerick. A magnet for tourism now with boating, fishing, cycling and walking-a-plenty.
Between the sheltered bays at the foot of the Glens of Antrim, the sea cliffs of the headlands soar with remarkable rock formations which, on the North Coast, provide the setting for the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge and the Giant's Causeway.

When St. Patrick's Day rolls around March 17, the Irish have lots to celebrate.
Ireland is still clean and green. Now, it is spending $15 million to bring visitors back.
Irish tourism officials are targeting 35 million people living in the U.S. with Irish heritage. They are key to generating $3 billion in pre-coronavirus yearly revenue.
Ireland is an island nation roughly one-third the size of Washington state with 5 million people. It is no longer an agrarian country. Today's Ireland attracts tourists, high-tech companies and manufacturers from around the world.
One of the keys to its economic growth is its low corporate tax rate of 12.5%, nine points lower than the 2017 President Trump tax cuts.
Not only are lower taxes driving the Irish economy, but it is rated as the world's ninth most "economically free" economy based on an index created jointly by the Wall Street Journal and Heritage Foundation.
Tourist were flocking to Ireland when the coronavirus pandemic struck. In 2018, it welcomed nearly 10 million visitors. Irish Central reporter Mairead Geary wrote: "Ireland feels like a dear old friend."
Ireland prides itself on attractiveness. Good music, folklore and a friendly people are augmented by "tidy towns" with freshly painted buildings and no roadside litter.
Just as in most urban areas, the Irish have their share of street garbage in the inner cities and discarded needles from drug users; however, the Irish have some creative solutions.
Business leaders have been integral to anti-litter cause. The Irish Business Against Litter sponsors annual competition between cities and towns. IBAL measures Ireland against other European Union nations. In 2017, it found that 88 percent of Irish communities were deemed as clean as the European average and 10 of the 40 were among the "cleanest."
SuperValu, Ireland's largest supermarket chain, sponsors the annual "Tidy Towns" competition. The overall winners in four categories: "villages, small towns, large towns and urban centres" are awarded cash prizes and have their names engraved on perpetual trophies which are as coveted as hockey's Stanley Cup.
While the "Tidy Towns" competition was suspended for 2020, SuperValu restarted it, allocating more than €250,000 ($284,000) to reward the 2021 winners.
In Waterford where the famous Irish crystal is made, business and city leaders decided to sponsor "street art" competition. Rather than having old downtown buildings tagged with repulsive graffiti, they encouraged some of the world's best spray paint artists to come to Waterford Walls International Street Art Festival each August.
Americans could learn from the Irish. Not only is Ireland a country which has lower taxes and is high on the economic freedom list, but it has fresh ideas to control litter, turn unwanted graffiti into attractive murals on dreary old buildings, and, revitalize country villages, towns and cities.
According to Litter in America's fact sheet, litter cleanup costs us as estimated $11.5 billion each year and business pays about 80 percent of expenses. Annually, Americans carelessly toss out 250 million tons of wrappers, bottles, cans, cigarette butts, needles and bags of garbage.
The Irish learned that not only do visitors want good entertainment and welcoming people, but they want uncluttered communities, shores, and country side as well.
Families who migrate to Ireland to work for software, pharmaceutical, medical technology and financial services — the new Irish economy — not only want good jobs, safe streets and quality schools, but places to live which are clean and tidy. People in America share that goal.
This St. Patrick's Day, we may want to look to Ireland for innovative ways to make our country cleaner, greener and more prosperous.

I just finished reading Andrew Bacevich's latest book, America's War for the Greater Middle East. This is a very good survey of the United States' role in the Middle East starting with the Shah's demise in Iran in 1979 continuing to the present (2016). Bacevich does a nice job juxtaposing a reported rhetorical question of the Shah's that seems to set, at least one of the themes, for the entire book: "What will you do [the US] if one day Iran will be in danger of collapsing? Do you have any choice?" The Shah supposedly asked this question as he saw "Iran performing a critical security function that the United States was unable or unwilling to perform itself." Ironically, Bacevich ends with Iran as well in the fight against ISIS trying to re-establish some sense of security in the region (even though Iran has a totally different idea of "regional security." Iran wasn't an American ally but they had effectively enlisted in the war against ISIS.
Bacevich also confronts several questions about America's role in the Middle East, since today's problems in the region are substantially greater than when the US got involved more than 30 years ago. Two main questions: "Why has the world's mightiest military achieved so little even while itself absorbing very considerable losses and inflicting even greater damage on the subjects of America's supposed beneficence?" And, "why in the face of such unsatisfactory outcomes has the United States refused to chart a different course?" An overriding theme to the answer to both questions: American hubris.
Bacevich isn't afraid to pull any punches, either. When it comes to why we got involved in Iraq under Bush: "The US was intent on establishing the efficacy of preventive war; it was going to assert its prerogative of removing regimes it deemed odious, and it was seeking to reverse the practice of exempting the Islamic world from neo-liberal standards." Similarly, Obama doesn't fare any better: by electing Obama, "Americans once more entrusted the highest office in the land to a foreign policy neophyte"–and Bacevich's analysis doesn't get any better for Obama regarding Syria and the rise of ISIS.
Overall, this is a very good survey for anyone interested in America's role in the Middle East over the the last 38 years.

Zynga Adventure World on Facebook
More cheating tools and how to use them: [Download these tools | Tool's Tutorial ]
Zynga's latest game on Facebook. Adventure World. Give you a feel of Indiana Jones yea?
Full set of Character Profiles images to be downloaded here [Link]
Zynga is launching Adventure World, a new game franchise that is the first in what it calls a new genre for the social gaming company.
This is Zynga's largest game with the most features of any of its game, the company says. The maps for each level of the game are massive–40 times the size of the largest size of FarmVille maps. The overall look and geography of the game are different from previous Zynga games. The game is rendered in an almost 3-D visual style, so that players can jump up stairs. (I say almost 3-D because it's not literally 3-D, but gives 3-D perspective.)
In order to make all this possible, Adventure World uses new back-end technology for rendering graphics better. The new engine does some things that Flash technology–which the game runs in–cannot, such as only graphically 'drawing' or rendering certain parts of a map while a player scrolls around. "We're attacking problems Flash wasn't designed for," says Craig Lancaster, CTO at Zynga Boston.
The new engine, which could be used on other games in the future, enables a full screen of intricate design with high frame rates and smooth scrolling. "We had to build a different engine," says Lancaster, "The engine built for Zynga's 'Ville' games works great. But it's not designed to have a map with that much art or detail." This technology also saves memory. Instead of drawing the entire map of a world, it can draw only certain areas that are visible on screen.
Instead of building a farm or city, the objective of Adventure World is advancing through the various levels, by fighting with creatures and emphasizes figuring out puzzles in the game. The inspiration for the game is The Legend of Zelda, says Nabeel Hyatt, general manager of Zygna Boston and former CEO of Conduit Labs. Certain elements of the game also remind me on Super Mario Brothers. This game is about discovery, instead of building, Hyatt says. Players can find hidden caves or other games pieces throughout by walking around and looking.
Players can customize their avatars, which have been created based on 3-D modeling. Players can find or get tools in the game such as a whip, machete or grappling hook which are used for specific challenges in the game. The social aspect of Adventure World is designed so that players add friends to help them, but particularly around specific needs. This increases interaction because people need to know what tools and abilities their friends have, Hyatt says.
Adventure World was created by the Zynga Boston studio that was formed from Zynga's acquisition of Conduit Labs in August 2010. Conduit, founded in 2007, had built a number of music-oriented virtual world game called Loudcrowd, and Facebook games such as Music Pets and Super Dance. Some of the technology from Conduit Labs is being incorporated into Adventure World.
Conduit Lab's team of engineers from console game backgrounds with games like Rock Band are familiar with this type of work, Hyatt says. But this type of work has been rare in social games, he says. (Forbes, 2011)

Josephine Jacobsen
Josephine Jacobsen Bio
Josephine Jacobsen was a US, multi-award winning short-story writer, poet and critic. Her many honours included being made
in 1971. In 1997 she was awarded the prestigious Robert Frost award to celebrate her lifetime achievements in poetry.
She was born on the 19th August 1908 in Ontario which came as a big shock to her parents who were expecting the delivery some months later. They were only visiting Ontario on vacation and there was some doubt if their premature baby would survive, but clearly she did, and went on to have a long life. The family were living in New York when Josephine's father, who was a doctor, died in 1913 and this led to many bouts of depression for her mother. She sought solace in travel and they were on the move so much that the young girl never had a chance to attend school regularly. She was taught privately and became an avid reader, especially of poetry written by the likes of Rudyard Kipling and many others.
The family finally settled in Maryland and Josephine attended school in Baltimore until the age of eighteen. She had the chance to go on to college but her mother preferred to keep moving and she ended up joining a group of travelling performers known as Vagabond Players, acting and writing material for the troupe. She stayed with them until 1932 when she met and married Eric Jacobsen, an importer of tea. This lasted for 63 years, only ending when her husband died.
Jacobsen's life in poetry began when she had a piece published in a magazine aimed at children at 11 years old. This affected her deeply and, from then on, decided that a professional writing career was for her. However, it took until 1940 for her first collection to be published, under the title
Many more years went by before her name became established in published poetry circles but this did not seem to bother her. She explained her attitude thus:
Her work covered a number of subjects including her love of the sport of baseball. Here is a poignant piece though, the title poem from her collection
It is solemn in tone, but also hopeful, outlining some of the trials and tribulations that men have to go through, especially at times of military conflict:
Jacobsen's literary output was substantial but, critics argue, her best work came during the final decades of her long life. She wrote short stories such as a 1978 collection called
and she wrote non-fiction pieces on travel and critical reviews for publications.
Josephine Jacobsen died on the 9th July 2003 at the assisted living apartment where she had been living following the death of her husband 8 years before. She was 94 years old.


In March we actually released our 1.1 version of the Groove, I'm pretty sure this is the one you had received. The biggest improvement from 1.0 to 1.1 was the casing. Our earliest version used a urethane pour process which is designed for prototype development. After our first round of feedback we agreed with everyone that the case needed an improvement, our 1.1 represented our shift from this manual pour process into an injection mold process. Our 1.1 model is much stronger than our original 1.0 design.
1.) The tact switch is different. We altered both the placement and the switch being used to require less force. Our latest switch should perform between 40 and 60 gmf. The result of this was that both the tip, and the button should feel easier to depress.
2.) Our red button was a bit tough to press in our 1.1 model so we widened the casing to allow a more free movement requiring less effort. We feel this combination along with the adjustment of the tact switch allows for much better performance for younger children.
3.) Circuit boards are now machined and pre-assembled. This is giving us more control and consistency as we produce more and more units.
4.) Our battery holder has been updated. We found in some cases the battery would pop out of the older holders. The new ones hold a bit tighter than I would like, but I wanted to make sure it didn't fall out.
As a side tip I recommend using a Lithium battery when working your Groove. The voltage stays between 1.2 and 1.4 pretty much the entire life of the battery.
We have been thinking about adding a few colors on our next run. Any suggestions? We were thinking black, but we can add more if there is interest.
Thank you guys for your great feedback and support. This is the kind of thing that keeps us improving our products .
-- please be kind to the developers uwe and boon jin put a lot of hours in to help support us ..
I purchased a Groove last Spring and was impressed with the dual switching functionality and pressure sensitive switch, but the body seemed to be a little less than desirable.
The newest Groove's that I've ordered are absolutely awesome. The battery door is somewhat difficult to open, but the battery holder in the pen, pressure switch, and manual switch are all much improved. For the money, it cannot be beat. Definitely a great investment. The improvement in the pen since the initial model is wonderful.
Started using the Sabre last school year. Loved how easy it was to work. But some of my special needs students had a hard time maneuvering the pen and the activation button. The Groove is truly GROOVY! The kids just press and write as if they were using a wipe-off marker! I was worried that it might be too big for their little hands (elementary age) but they have no issue. Now they have a choice between the two- although I like the Groove even more than the Sabre (if that's possible).

McCaffrey Homes Wins Two NAHB's The Nationals 2018 Awards
McCaffrey Homes has been honored with two prestigious 2018 Silver Awards in The National Sales and Marketing Awards from The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Competing with homebuilders from across the nation, McCaffrey was recognized for excellence in architectural design and best interior merchandising.
Known as The Nationals, NAHB's annual new home sales and marketing awards salute the best in the building industry for their determination, integrity, creativity and endurance.
"The Nationals are the most prestigious awards of their kind, setting the benchmark for innovations in new home design, marketing and sales," said Meredith Oliver, chairperson of the Nationals. "NAHB's commitment to recognizing originality, imagination and success has been exemplified by its award winners since the competition's inception."
Silver Award winners are the top vote recipients in each category and are finalists for the Gold Awards, to be presented January 9, 2018 at The International Builders Show (IBS) in Orlando, Florida.
McCaffrey Homes was honored in the category of Best Architectural Design for a Single Family Detached Home from 2,501 to 3,000 square feet. The award recognizes The Ivy at Riverstone – Residence 3, designed by Bassenian Lagoni Architects. The Ivy at Riverstone community is a collection of 106 single-family homes with four all-new, single-story and two-story floor plans that set fresh new standards for housing design.
The third-generation home building firm was honored with a second Silver Award – for Best Interior Merchandising of a Model Priced from $300,000 to $500,000 – for the Residence 1 model in the Santerra at Riverstone community. Three additional model homes are located in Santerra at Riverstone, as well.
"We're honored to have received two awards in one of the industry's most important award programs," said Ash Knowlton, president of construction for McCaffrey Homes. "Both are a testament to the vision and skill of our extraordinary architecture and interior design teams."
"These two distinctive new neighborhoods in the Riverstone community celebrate California living at its best," Knowlton added. "Our new home designs artfully blend indoor and outdoor space in creative, beautiful and useful ways that will provide years of comfort and enjoyment for homeowners."
Started in 1982 as the Institute of Residential Marketing, The Nationals award program continues to recognize superior new home sales and marketing achievements. With 57 categories across various disciplines of the new home industry, the awards honor excellence in product and community design, advertising, marketing and sales achievements by individuals and sales teams.
During a three-day judging process, a panel of seven industry professionals from across the country determined the Silver and Gold award winners from a field of over 1,300 entries.

My history with the Co-op goes back a long time, a really long time – in fact if it wasn't for the Co-op I wouldn't have been born. My Mum and Dad met across a crowded dance floor in the now sadly demolished Helena House in St Helens at a Co-op dance. My Dad's first job was at the Co-op – he went from wrapping meat in brown paper to having his own store and so it felt like fate when 3 years ago I was approached to join the group.
I am results junkie – I love seeing an instant reaction, that's why I guess I love social media so much, and why I ultimately ended up making a career out of it. I started my working life at BT, after a couple of years I went to Siemens to set up their telemarketing operation and then moved into marketing, where I did every job under the sun from product management to proposition development – chasing a job where I could see the results of my work immediately. I became impatient with direct mail, advocated the use of email and the wondrous world wide web. Finally I ended up with responsibility globally for their digital and social presence.
And so back to today – I'm the Group Social Media and Digital Engagement Lead for the Co-op – and I can honestly say I LOVE my job – why? Well, I work with the most amazing group of individuals – smart, passionate, kind, caring, co-operative with boundless energy – wanting to make a difference and get stuff done.
I've had the opportunity to build a strategy and an approach to social media from the ground up with the aim to turn the Co-op into a social organisation, with social integrated seamlessly throughout. We've gone from a team of 3 to a team of 10, covering both internal and external campaigns (paid and organic), content creation and community management. We developed the first UK retail Snapchat campaign which was named by Campaign Magazine as one of the top 10 digital innovations, was short-listed at Cannes Lions plus we were awarded best use of social media at the e-commerce awards for a Twitter campaign for our electrical business.
I love being able to have an idea and do something about it – a perfect example of this is how to connect our store managers quickly, simply with no cost – what was our solution – WhatsApp. Something easy to use, roll out and perfect for our disparate employees. On launch day we saw over 3,000 messages, images and videos, in the trial area we saw double digit sales growth – all because colleagues could connect, talk, bond and share. I'll save the details for a later blog – but need to credit Jordan our Senior Community Manager for making the idea a reality.
And now it gets even better, what more could a digital professional ask for – we have a leader in Mike Bracken with an exciting vision of how the Co-op can be a pioneer again in a digital age, I feel beyond excited and privileged to be a part of it.

"I wanted to show that no matter how well her career is going or how much education she has — a woman's value will most likely be placed on how good of a housewife she will be."
This is Canadian-Indian artist Baljit Singh. She created a photo series titled "Paraya Dhan" which aims to combat the perception of young women as less valuable than the dowry they bring.
"I wanted to challenge and document the real life experience of a girl to show how she's brought up from a very young age expected only to get married," she told BuzzFeed.
Singh explained that the project was inspired by Lajja, a Bollywood film which featured dowry issues as one of its subplots.
"I wanted to show that no matter how well her career is going or how much education she has — her (a woman's) value will most likely be placed on how good of a housewife she will be," says Singh.
"From the day she is born she's seen as this "bojh" (weight) that needs to be lifted off a father's shoulder once she's wed off because he knows that with a daughter, means giving a certain amount of dowry," she explained.
"No matter how much we try to hide it, certain forms of gift giving (dowry, let's be honest) still exists in the wedding process, even in the west," she told BuzzFeed.
"It's good to see people taking a liking towards this series, but I don't just want them to leave a like on the picture and close their phones. I want them to question their parents," Singh said.
You can follow her work on Tumblr and Instagram as well.

Milwaukee Bucks History
Founded in January of 1968, the team's ownership group held a fan contest to decide the name of Milwaukee's newest NBA team. With over 40,000 fans participating in the competition, the Robins was the most voted fan entry, however, the selection committee elected to name the team after the second most popular entry, the Bucks in reference to Wisconsin's national animal, the white-tailed deer.
In their inaugural season, the Bucks won only 26 games and were subsequently awarded the first pick in the 1969 NBA draft, a pick that gave them access to future Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, formerly known as Lew Alcindor.
Kareem was a phenomenon at the collegiate, winning three consecutive NCAA national championships at UCLA before joining the Bucks in the NBA. With the addition of Kareem, the Bucks made their first playoff appearance in just their second season. Posting the second best record in the league with 56 wins.
Abdul-Jabbar was the 1970 NBA Rookie of the Year, averaging 28.8 points and 14.5 rebounds over his 82 regular season games. Following a loss to the eventual champion New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks traded for Olympic gold medallist, 1964 NBA MVP and Hall of Fame point guard, Oscar Robertson.
The addition of Robertson proved to be the missing piece for the Bucks, finishing the 1970-71 regular season with 66 wins, the second most in NBA history at the time. Kareem won his first of six NBA MVPs, averaging 31.7 points and 16.0 rebounds per game, and the Milwaukee Bucks went on to win their first and to this day only NBA championship, sweeping the Baltimore Bullets.
After claiming a title in just their third season the Bucks became the fastest expansion team in American sports history to win a championship. Despite 63, 60 and 59 win seasons following their 1971 NBA title, the Bucks failed to convert their dominance of the early 70's into a second championship. Milwaukee reached the NBA finals once again in 1974, although were defeated in seven games by the Boston Celtics.
The aftermath of the 1974 Finals was the beginning of the end for the Bucks championship aspirations. Robertson retired prior to the 1974-75 season, and Kareem missed the first 16 games with a broken hand. The Bucks went 3-13 without their superstar, finishing the season with a 38-44 record, missing the playoffs and finishing at the bottom of their division.
In June of 1975 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing his time in Milwaukee with a championship, three NBA MVPs and averages of 30.4 points and 15.3 rebounds per game through his six seasons as a member of the Bucks.
Despite losing the league's best player, Milwaukee remained relevant in the NBA. Don Nelson took over as head coach in 1976, and with an abundance of first round picks in the late 70's, the Bucks were once again a competitive team.
After selecting Sidney Moncrief with the fifth pick in the 1979 draft, the Bucks began a stretch of 11 consecutive winning seasons, including six division titles, 11 playoff appearances and two NBA coach of the year awards for Don Nelson.
Due to the strong play of Moncrief and the arrival of Terry Cummings, Ricky Pierce and Jack Sikma, the Bucks were a consistent threat in the Eastern Conference throughout the 80's. However, like the mid 70's championships continued to elude them, defeated by the Celtics or 76'ers in every playoff campaign.
The 1990's were certainly the leanest period of success in Bucks history, with eight consecutive losing seasons and not a single playoff series for the decade. Ray Allen, Tim Thomas and Sam Cassell led the 2001 Bucks to the Eastern Conference Finals, off the back of winning 52 regular season games and claiming the franchise's first divisional title in 15 years.
Despite falling only one victory shy of an NBA finals appearance in 2001, the Bucks missed the playoffs the following season. Throughout the mid 2000's to mid 2010's players such as Glenn Robinson, Gary Payton, Michael Redd, Andrew Bogut, Brandon Jennings, Kwame Brown and Stephen Jackson represented the Bucks franchise over a 10 year stretch that once again saw no playoff series victories.
In 2013, the team as we know it today was forged, selecting Giannis Antetokounmpo with the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA draft and trading for Kris Middleton. Antetokounmpo has since been named a four time All Star, 2017 NBA Most Improved Player, member of multiple All-NBA teams and the 2019 NBA MVP. With Middleton being named a two time All Star.
Success was not immediate for Milwaukee, however, once Mike Budenhozer took over as head coach in 2018, the Bucks were once again title contenders. In just two seasons, Budenhozer's has twice led Milwaukee to the best record in the league, with Antetokounmpo and Middleton as the cornerstones of the team. After winning their first playoff series since 2001, Milwaukee were knocked out of the 2019 playoffs by the eventual champion Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The 2019-20 season saw great expectation for the Bucks. Giannis won his second straight MVP and with his free agency in 2021, Milwaukee needed to win in the postseason.
After finishing with the best record in the league, the Bucks easily defeated the Magic in the first round of the playoffs before coming up against the Miami Heat. The Bucks were unravelled and lost to the Heat in just five games.
With a second straight disappointing playoff exit, many speculated whether Giannis would be traded by the Bucks so they could at least get something in return for him, incase he were to leave for nothing in 2021.
Milwaukee were instead focusing on building their roster to better suit Giannis and allow him to get the success he truely desired.

Milwaukee Bucks Betting & Odds History
Despite having the reigning back-to-back MVP and having the best record in the league for two years straight, their disappointing playoff exit scared sportsbooks away, giving Milwaukee +900 odds for the 2020-21 NBA Championship.
Punters snapped up this lofted mark, causing their odds to come in to +550 just before the draft.
The Bucks finished with the fifth best record against the spread during the 2019-20 regular season, sitting at 39-34. They performed much better at home, being 21-14, while actually having a negative record against the spread on the road, 18-20.
With Giannis winning Defensive Player of the Year, there is no surprise that more of Milwaukee's games went under rather than over. There record in totals markets was 34-37-2.

Traffic islands and roundabouts in Lutyens' Delhi have been decked up with artistic floral designs for the 74th Republic Day.
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) said 18 flower boards and as many flower fountains had been set up and the civic body's building has been illuminated with the Tricolour for the occasion.
"Special preparations have been made by the NDMC for the purpose of enhancing the beauty of the New Delhi area and celebrating the 74th Republic Day," NDMC vice chairman Satish Upadhyay said on Wednesday.
Upadhyay said prominent places such as Palika Kendra, Mandi House, Tilak Marg Entry Point, Hyderabad House, PM House Roundabout, Rashtrapati Bhavan Roundabout, 11 Murti, Teen Murti, York Place, Shanti Path-Panchsheel Marg Junction, Tilak Marg entrance and Kautilya Marg-Shanti Path have been decorated with large flower boards and fountains.
"The special feature of these boards is their messages such as 'Vasudev Kutumbakam', G20, Nation-Paramount, One-Earth, One-Family, One-Future," Upadhyay said.
"The country is celebrating 75 years of India's independence and on January 26, we will celebrate the 74th Republic Day where the power of India will be displayed," he said.

Lenea Grace is a poet based in Gibsons, B.C. Her collection of poetry, A Generous Latitude, maps a series of relationships within a greater exploration of Canadiana, barrelling through shield and crag, river and slag.
"To me, the power lies in precision, the economy of words. A few stanzas can pack an oceanic punch — that is to say, deep and far-reaching — and do so without the luxury of length afforded to novels. I'm interested in poetry as a form of controlled chaos.

Q: Nagios Herald won't send emails I'm currently trying to set up nagios herald on my production nagios instance. I've made all the setup neccessary and when I run the following dry run, the notification is sent straight away:

root@mon1 objects]# /usr/local/nagios-herald/bin/nagios-herald
  --env-file /tmp/test_herald.out --message-type email -r my.email@address.net --formatter=$_SERVICEMESSAGE_FORMATTER_NAME$
  --nagios-cgi-url=http://192.168.0.1/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi --reply-to=nagios@somehost.com

I want to be able to test keeping my legacy notifications in place, so I created a new command, contactgroup, and contact definition:
define command {
    command_name    herald-service-email
    command_line   /usr/local/nagios-herald/bin/nagios-herald --message-type email -r my.email@address.net --formatter=$_SERVICEMESSAGE_FORMATTER_NAME$ --nagios-cgi-url=http://192.168.0.1/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi --reply-to=nagios@somehost.com
     }

# nagios herald testing
define contactgroup {
    contactgroup_name              nagios-herald
    alias                          nagios herald
    name                           nagios-herald
    members                        nagios-herald
}
define contact {
    contact_name                   nagios-herald
    alias                          nagios-herald
    name                           nagios-herald
    use                            generic-pager
    service_notification_commands  herald-service-email
    register                       1
    email                          my.email@address.net
}

Lastly, I added the service notification command to my global contact used for all our alerting (the alert email is aliased to our actual email in /etc/aliases:
define contact {
    contact_name                   admin
    alias                          admin user
    name                           admin
    register                       1
    host_notification_period       24x7
    host_notification_options      d,u,r
    host_notification_commands     notify-host-by-email
    service_notification_period    24x7
    service_notification_options   w,u,c,r
    service_notification_commands  notify-service-by-email,dump-env,herald-service-email
    email                          admin
    pager                          admin-pager
}

And I see the notification getting invoked in my Thruk web UI, so I'm at a loss as to how/why this isn't working when the command invoked manually works. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

A: Can you provide one of the service definitions you're expecting to see an alert from? Perhaps you have a malformed _message_formatter_name directive.
You can also append the --trace argument to the end of the nagios-herald notification command and it will provide more details on what it's doing. Remember to also set -l <logfile> in the command or specify logfile: in the config so the output is captured in a file.

People on the Internet, being people on the Internet, did some digging and found out several things. First, the pictures of the kit on Kickstarter are just pictures of this kit (from cnchelicopter.com) with the attribution photoshopped out. Also, the founders of eye3 allegedly owe a bunch of people money (or a product) on another project."
Lucky they caught it or else it would have been a real black eye for DiyDrones, and the hobby in general.
Great diligence! What a community!
Yes they were promising the APM2 in the package, but DIYDrones had nothing to do with the project!
How would that prove to be a blackeye for DIYDrones?
They had the Mission Planner screen shots and images of APM2 on the project page. Those who didn't know better, would definitely make a connection between DiYDrones, and their project, and when things went south, where do you think they would come to complain first?
About time. Many on rcgroups were discussing the backstory on them--pros and cons considering the [strong] opinions on some when it comes to APM1/2.
Hopefully this blows over quickly, a lot of my management was keeping an eye that project since it "showcased" APM2.
Though h/w capable, 15pounds reliably is a huge push. The studios have tried >12lbs with normal copters and it became too risky.
I'm not sure how this was identified as a hoax. They didn't have a single photo of their own....so that sure is fishy...But it's a $700 kit shown from cnchelicopter plus a battery for $999. The $1499 adds an APM2 (cost of $200). So clearly, it is cheaper to buy the parts on your own....but how is this considered a scam? The value they're adding is buying the components and sending it to you as a package.
I think the scam lies in the message that operating this hexa would be easy for even a novice and that using 6 motors somehow induced redundancy for safety's sake when the fact is that when a hexa loses a motor the flight is over. My initial prediction was that the average customer would not be able to get past the training/PID tuning flights and end up with a pile of parts. This was no Blade MCX.
I see "experience to produce a high performance flying robot in a low cost kit that practically anyone can assemble" but nothing about it being easy to fly. It also says: "We have spent the last 2 years testing, programming and flying these computers and we have the knowledge, configurations and programs you need to get in the air NOW. We've done all the work so you can start USING the eye3 (instead of crashing it)." which might be true if they are going to send you the PID settings to make it stable.
Yes, it was close enough to reality to fool people. But we all know that the claims were just a little unrealistic, coupled with their delivery date of April/2012. The problem I found with it, is that they were making the claims, as if it already existed, instead of it being in development. And we all know the availability status of APM2 boards, right now. According to Jordi, back orders are shipping in about Feb. And, it seemed that they had not contacted any suppliers to check to see if stock was available, as far as we know.
Given the rate at which sponsors were coming on board, Kickstarter probably decided they didn't need that kind of risk.
I think "hoax" and "scam" may be too harsh, but "success factors" were not indicated for this project.

Three yachts in five categories each have the chance to win the coveted "European Yacht of the Year Award" at the boot Düsseldorf 2018. Once more, most of the nominated yachts are designed by boat builders who are exhibiting at the coming boot Düsselddorf.
There is one sentence that is characteristic of the first night at the boot Düsseldorf, and it will be the same again in 2018: "And the winner is ..." Traditionally, the European Yacht of the Year Awards will be presented at the Flagship Night, the industry gathering hosted by Delius Klasing Verlag and Messe Düsseldorf on the first Saturday of the leading boat show. And one thing is certain: It will be exciting! The great thing about the prize giving ceremony in Düsseldorf is that you can have a close look at the nominated yachts in detail in the exhibition halls! Sailing performance, comfort, construction quality, price-performance ratio, design and unique technical features are the characteristics assessed by the international jury.
With yachts nominated in the category Luxury-Cruiser the focus of designers is on particularly comfortable and luxurious design and equipment. These sailing yachts are usually larger and situated in a higher price range, but well prepared for sailing the oceans around the world.
Multihull is an umbrella term that comprises both catamarans (yachts with two hulls) ans trimarans (three hulls), both of which can offer an exceptionally large living space on board as well as a generally higher speed potential than comparable monohulls.
There are boats that are simply unique in one way or another: The category Special Yacht puts the focus on exceptional yacht designs, groundbreaking hull construction, innovative features or technologies like foils or wing sails.

Out of Control: A Fifteen Year Battle Against Control Unit Prisons
We Confront the Head of the Bureau of Prisons
Out of Control: Chapter 13–We Confront the Head of the Bureau of Prisons, 1988 Continued
Chicago Tribune, Nov. 12, 1988
When the Bureau of Prisons Director Michael Quinlan came to Chicago for the November 1988 American Society of Criminology (ASC) conference, we planned a demonstration outside the Marriott Hotel where the conference was being held. Sponsored by CEML and the National Committee to Free Puerto Rican POWs, it was also endorsed by six other groups. But the real drama took place inside the conference when Michael Quinlan and his entourage made a mad dash for the door and the airport!
Members of the Committee to End the Marion Lockdown and supporters confronted him during his workshop presentation entitled "Auditing, Evaluating, and Planning in the Bureau of Prisons." While not a title that would have ordinarily drawn our attention, it offered a rare opportunity to come face-to-face with the chief of the BOP and hold him responsible for the brutal and racist reality of Marion.
Our plan had been simple. I would stand up, as a representative of the Committee, toward the beginning of the workshop, and explain that Marion is a matter of life and death, and a discussion about Marion had to take precedence over the planned topic. Several of us would then express our concerns about the situation at Marion and the proliferation of Control Units in general. We would display our banner and hand out our explanatory leaflet. Finally, we would present Quinlan with the over one thousand signatures we had obtained on petitions. We would then be on our way, leaving the workshop to distribute more leaflets and talk with as many conference participants as possible. The best laid plans . . .
What actually happened was quite different. The BOP panelists, all white men and one woman, were introduced by the moderator of the workshop. Then Bernard Headley, on behalf of the Progressive Caucus of the American Society of Criminology (ASC), most politely and with great dignity, gained recognition from the moderator. He presented a petition to Quinlan from members of the Society calling for an end to the lockdown at Marion.
Following Professor Headley's presentation, I stood up and began to speak. Public speaking always makes me nervous and this did especially. I felt like a "mere" citizen without any criminology credentials, and Quinlan had quite a posse of huge white men surrounding him. But I was determined to speak up for the prisoners who had no voice at this workshop and because I had promised my friends I would do so. So I mustered my courage and began.
Well, all that I was able to say was, "I am not a rude person," at which point pandemonium broke loose. BOP personnel began shouting and screaming. The woman from the BOP firmly shoved a woman photographer in an attempt to stop her from recording the events. Above the din could be heard the cry of "Quinlan, you're the real criminal!" In the midst of all this, Quinlan and his colleagues slunk out the door, and the workshop was terminated.
It was apparent to most of us present that the response of the BOP was characteristic of that institution and the people who run it. In the face of the mildest opposition, they responded immediately with no allowance of dissent, no pretense of dialogue. To them, we were the enemy. It took some of us by surprise. We had listened to Quinlan's speech on National Public Radio the day before. We understood that he considered himself a liberal. He had recently written to the Nation magazine a defense of the situation at Lexington Prison.
I later wrote in the Critical Criminologist, newsletter of the Progressive Caucus of the American Society of Criminology, that we "were fortunate to be in the midst of an academic conference, and not in the belly of one of their institutions. You can imagine what kind of 'liberal' control they exert there!"
In addition to the satisfaction of confronting Quinlan, who was usually in his protective cocoon, there were further positive reverberations. The Chicago Tribune reported on the event, as did the Chicago Defender, quoting the ASC president, William Chambliss, as stating that, "I'm going to try to talk to Quinlan and find out what's going on." Perhaps most heartening was the response to our ASC workshop about Marion the following day. The room was jammed with people, over 50 attendees. This stood in sharp contrast to the 10–15 non-protesting people who had attended the Quinlan workshop.
It felt good to take pleasure in the confrontation, but as the year ended, it became increasingly clear that we were fighting an enormously uphill battle. Reports were coming in that the Bureau of Prisons was looking into building a "Better Marion" (Southern Illinoisan, Dec. 3, 1988, p.1). Their idea of "better" was frightening to contemplate. The Bureau of Prisons was forced to admit there were problems with Marion, but they drew different conclusions.
Marion, they said, was not built to hold prisoners in their cells around the clock. A new prison could be built from the ground up, a prison designed to hold people, single-celled, for most of the day, day in and day out. A task force of federal prison officials was appointed to decide whether or not to build such a new super-secure facility, which would be, according to Warden Henman, a "better Marion." We feared that what he meant by "better" could only be even worse.

The International Federation of Journalists today accused the Egyptian authorities of censorship and intimidation of independent journalism after a crackdown on activists working at the Cairo International Book Fair.
This week a detained journalist began a hunger strike in protest following his arrest and detention along with other activists after a police raid on the book fair on January 28.
"The bullying and intimidation of opposition writers and journalists is intolerable," said Aidan White, IFJ General Secretary. "It reflects a general hostility to free expression that runs contrary to the growing movement for democracy and human rights in the Middle East."
The IFJ has expressed its full support for the Egyptian Syndicate of Journalists, which is calling for the release of Ibrahim El Sahary, a journalist working for socialist Al Alam Al Youm Newspaper, who was beaten up by police when arrested for circulating "anti-government propaganda."
Also arrested was Ayman Nour, a legally-trained Member of Parliament, head of the new liberal Al Ghad Opposition Party and a journalist with the new Al Ghad daily newspaper. Both men are being temporarily held in custody.
On January 28 police arrested a number of activists at the Cairo International Book Fair and charged them with disseminating false propaganda against the government. Two days later they confiscated copies of a recent publication, Socialists' route to change: a militant socialist vision for change in Egypt, and copies of a magazine produced by the Centre for Socialist Studies, even though those publications are legally produced.
"It is impossible not to see this as an act of intimidation against all those who are struggling to put forward alternative opinions about the future of democracy in Egypt," said White.
He said the IFJ was particularly concerned for El Sahary, who started a hunger strike on Monday and is held over a statement he was circulating that had been signed by hundreds of public figures. The IFJ says he was brutally treated by police and required medical treatment.
The Egyptian Syndicate is calling on the Minister of Justice, Mahmoud Abou El-Leil, and Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif to enact the law that forbids the jailing of journalists, as promised by President Mubarak a year ago.
"It's time for change in Egypt," said White. "The days when bullying, intimidation and censorship were the routine ways of dealing with independent journalism are over. Free expression must be guaranteed for all."
