I recently got the interview treatment over at a new website called Bloggasm.
I enjoyed the questions, but I'd like to change one of my answers. They asked what upcoming publications I'm looking forward to and I answered "none", but that's only because I forgot about Charles Frazier, whose follow-up to Cold Mountain, Thirteen Moons, will be out in October. I liked Frazier's Cold Mountain a lot. Sometimes I don't even understand why I liked this book so much. I am definitely worried that Thirteen Moons will not knock me out as much, despite the favorable review cited above. The plot sounds rather James Fenimore Cooper-esque, revolving around an orphan who becomes an honorary Cherokee during the time that Andrew Jackson was battling native Americans on the southern frontier. I will definitely be letting you know more about this book as soon as I get my hands on a copy.
I also mention in the above interview that I'm eagerly awaiting the paperback publication of Rick Moody's Diviners. I wish I could change this answer as well, because I've just discovered that the paperback edition is already out (but I wasn't aware of it because none of my regular bookstores are displaying it). Ironically, when I finally discovered this fact, I decided not to read the book after all.
How many times has this happened to you? A book comes out in hardcover and sounds interesting, and you think "I'll read this when it comes out in paperback". A year later the book comes out in paperback, and you hold it in your hand and study it and read the blurbs and think about the fact that nobody's really been talking about this book in the year since it first came out, and it just doesn't seem that hot anymore and maybe it was never so hot in the first place, and you put it back on the shelf. So Diviners turns out to be another book I'll never read, another victim of the wait-a-year-for-the-paperback buzz-kill effect. Yet another reason why two-tier book pricing has got to go.
Thirteen Moons, though, is the rare book I would buy in hardcover.
6 Responses to "One Book I'm Excited About"
Old Buzz-KillRemember buying albums, and the only good song was the hit heard on the radio?In an imperfect world, it's unrealistic to expect every book by an author to be as good as that favorite that got you interested in them. Most definitely, Diviners is better than lots of novels out there now.
Twice Told TalesI loved Cold Mountain so much that I read it twice - something I've only done with Kerouac, Hemingway, Steinbeck and Vonnegut. (What a mix, huh?)I also plan on snapping up the hardcover of 13 Moons. Though I'm with you Levi, I wish they would release hard and soft simultaneously. I bought only 2 hardcovers in the last 2 years: Eragon by Christopher Paolini and Lemony Snicket #1. Both were purchased not for me, but for my kids, so that I could read to them.13 Moons will be the last hardcover a purchase for quite a while.
And that is why I think short stories should make a come-back.
good interview!What we need, is another "October Earth" to spark the renewed interest of our members/readers again! Or did you already have something mind? Oh c'mon, I bet you've got something cookin in the back room Levi, spill the beans!
Isn't the present lack of venues, viz., fewer magazines, i.e., mainstream media reluctance to buy short stories, the real reason for lack of short story popularity? In the last Pushcart Prize introduction, the writer stated that the demise of the small press predicted in '76 was as much a false prophecy then as it is now. The short story is much more difficult for any writer because one has to sustain the intensity of a novel within 20 pages, which is the epitome of a timeless short story. From what's on the bookshelves of my favorite used bookstore, there seems no lack of talent alive but as noted here before, the NY Times bestseller lists rarely has short story anthologies. Possibly the publishers don't believe they sell which goes back to that chicken-and-egg paradigm: good books don't get published because publishers only want profits but if they gave the public something else, mainstream readers would be educated and started buying up scads of short story anthologies.

U-22 coach has 30 names on shortlist for Tokyo qualifiers
With about two months to go until the Olympic men's football qualifying tournament, Korean head coach Kim Hak-bum said Wednesday he has narrowed down the candidate pool for his final roster "to about 30 players."
Kim's under-22 national team returned home from a friendly tournament in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where it had two wins and two losses against Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates.
It served as a key on-field tuneup for Kim, who will lead a 23-man roster to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Championship in Thailand in January.
The competition will double as the Asian qualifying tournament for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The top three nations will secure their spots in Tokyo. The men's Olympic football tournament is open only to players under 23, except for three overage players permitted per team.
"We gained a lot from this tournament in Dubai. It was a good opportunity for me to evaluate players," Kim told reporters at Incheon International Airport. "We went through a lot of different situations in preparation for what's to come [at the AFC tournament next year]."
For the Dubai event, Kim called up Germany-based midfielder Paik Seung-ho, who has recently played for the senior national team.
"Paik Seung-ho is a talented player," Kim said of the 22-year-old product of FC Barcelona's youth system. "He could have some chemistry issues with other players who've been with us a while, but I don't foresee any major problem."
Korea's only Olympic medal in men's football came at the 2012 tournament in London. The team got knocked out of the quarterfinals in 2016.

Have you have recently had unsatisfactory roof repairs or work done on your home or building in Arizona? If so, then you can and should take action and report the offenders to the Arizona Registrar of Contractors or AZROC. In Arizona all roofers are required to be licensed members of the AZROC, and the organization takes complaints seriously.
The First step to resolve your issues with licensed roofers is to contact them, and discuss your issue directly. In many cases they will work with you to resolve the situation to your satisfaction. Only after you have attempted to contact them should you begin the complaint process. However, reporting unlicensed contractors can be done at anytime, and it may be unwise to contact them as they are operating illegally.
After you have attempted to resolve the issue your next step is to file the official AZROC complaint form. This document can be found online and downloaded at will. To expedite the filing and review process it is important that you fully complete the document. Also please make note of the fact that you will need one copy of the complaint form per person that you report, or your complaint will be rejected. If you suspect the roof repair was done by an unlicensed worker you should also include copies of additional evidence such as: contracts, purchase orders, checks, business cards, permits, invoices photos. Beware, before you submit any information it is important that you are realize that all documents you provide will be made public. For your own protection include only photocopies of supporting documents, and be sure to black out any sensitive personal information including but not limited to: SSN, bank account number, drivers license, birth date.
When filling out your complaint form there are several critical factors that you need to insure are correct to avoid delays or returns in the reporting process. Check that the complaint form has been singed and dated with your original signature; unsigned forms, copies, and faxes will be rejected. Sections three and four must be filled out completely and if they request information that is not relevant print clearly: N/A. When completing section five add all relevant issues; any additions to the list after initial filing date will result in delays.
Once you have completed your form the next step is to simply hand deliver, or mail in your documents to your nearest azroc office. Faxed and emailed complaints will not be accepted in order to maintain the authenticity of the documents. The AZROC has offices in: Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, Prescott, Phoenix, Show Low, Tucson, and Yuma. Addresses and phone numbers for each branch can be found online or in your local phonebook.
Ultimately, filing a complaint against incompetent or unethical roofers is a simple process. Make sure you fill out your complaint form completely and accurately. If you follow all of the guidelines here and on the official form you will be well on your way to an azroc enforced resolution.

IT ServicesNews Analysis
Inside HP's Big Bet on Costa Rica
Kirk Laughlin
Does Costa Rica's gain become Argentina's loss?
By Dennis Barker
Call it a vote of confidence in Costa Rica.
When HP last week announced details of its $1 billion plan to expand its offshore outsourcing services, the little country of 4 million was revealed as one of the company's six new global delivery hubs. (The other "Best Shore" hubs are China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Bulgaria.) As a result, Costa Rica will play a bigger role in HP's Latin America operations and will also see an increase in the number of job opportunities.
So, why Costa Rica? We asked Jeff Womack, VP of Best Shore Enablement within HP's Enterprise Services group, and the first thing he cited is "the increasing amount of client demand in the Americas for time-zone-approximate support."
Womack also mentioned "the availability of skilled resources and the cost footprint, not just in immediate terms but as you look at labor-rate inflation and real estate expenses going forward" as reasons supporting the selection. He said that many of the factors were "not specific only to Costa Rica" but that combined with other things made it the best location for a Best Shore facility.
Those other things included "cultural affinity with local and national governments," and the ability to tap into "additional capacity we have with other HP entities" in the country. "We have access to a large contingent of other HP employees," he said, "and have a nice base of support from other services, such as Technology Services" to provide back-office functions.
Womack was quick to emphasize that expanding the hub operation in Costa Rica does not mean cutting back elsewhere in the Nearshore region. Those other countries will continue to play an important role in HP's global model, he said, but it will often be a "more specialized role."
Costa Rica also has a breadth of services that means HP can be more flexible in meeting client needs and put together multiple services in one location, Womack said. "In Costa Rica we support applications, BPO, and ITO, whereas other locations focus mainly on one aspect of that portfolio," he said. Panama, for example, is "mainly an ITO facility."
"The last point around selection criteria is proximity to high-growth markets," Womack said.
Womack was quick to emphasize that expanding the hub operation in Costa Rica does not mean cutting back elsewhere in the Nearshore region. Those other countries will continue to play an important role in HP's global model, he said, but it will often be a "more specialized role." For example, Argentina has a lot of expertise in airlines and legacy applications, Womack noted — "deep expertise that you don't just move or rebuild in another location."
"This is not a consolidation play where we would start ramping down in Argentina and Panama, for example," Womack said. "What it means is that a higher portion of our growth and new clients will grow into the hubs."
Sign up for our Nearshore Americas newsletter:
The hubs will also be responsible for managing next-generation technologies like cloud-based services. Staff in Costa Rica, for example, will be in charge of remote-monitoring HP's recently announced datacenter in Chile.
To accommodate that anticipated growth, HP will be scaling up and out in Costa Rica in two ways. "First is further development of our existing resources, involving investments in training and deeper experience to build capability," Womack said. "The second is around more targeted hiring. If we needed to expand mainframe expertise, as one example, it is often more expedient to hire that into the team than to develop it internally. We balance both of these strategies."
Speaking of Argentina, HP will be making an announcement regarding that country "within the next few weeks," Womack added.

In its early days, the Internet promised to revolutionise the way we communicate. Unfortunately, however, the unforeseen flood of spam has seriously compromised its value.

I believe that this would largely eliminate the current flood of Spam which is clogging up the system.


Jennifer Lopez is currently in Las Vegas performing her first residency show, Jennifer Lopez: All I Have. Recently the 47-year-old posted photos of her before and after looks on Instagram. Check them out here, and learn more about Jennifer Lopez's tour in 2017!
It looks like Jennifer Lopez has a lot going on! Season two of Shades of Blue is premiering on March 5th and Jennifer Lopez's show in Las Vegas is going on until June 11, 2017. Despite her busy schedule, Lopez keeps her fans updated with the latest regarding her concert, and her looks.
Jennifer Lopez shared pictures of herself before and after her show, and she looks flawless in both! She is ready to hit the stage in her "before" photo, where everything about her look is perfect!
Though she is understandably tired in her "after" photo, Lopez still looks astonishing in a white romper and gold heels as she relaxes on a couch.
Jennifer Lopez also shared a picture of herself on stage. She is wearing a cowboy hat, boots, and an embellished bodysuit with a flannel shirt on top. As expected, she looks totally stunning in it!
Thank you!!! Here's a closer look at my new costume by @theblondsny for #allihave bc its soooo amaazzzzing!! #details ????????????????????????????
The final photo Lopez shared was a close up of the detailed piece underneath the flannel. She captioned the photo saying, "Thank you!!! Here's a closer look at my new costume by @theblondsny for#allihave bc its soooo amaazzzzing!!#details. [sic] " After seeing the gorgeous details of the bodysuit,we can only imagine how amazing JLo is going to look in it!


Lumbar Microdiscectomy is a procedure commonly performed by Neurosurgeons and Orthopaedic Surgeons to treat the symptoms associated with pressure upon Spinal nerve in the lower back. It is particularly effective for treating pain in the buttocks or the legs known as Sciatica. When a nerve is particularly compressed, symptoms such as weakness or pins and needles or numbness can be experienced and this is also known as Radiculopathy.
Preoperative assessment includes a full consultation, examination and investigations and an MRI scan is obtained wherever possible. Patients are usually admitted on the day of surgery and are usually well enough to go home the following day. During operation, a small incision is made and a small amount of bone is usually shaved away to access the trapped nerve beneath. The portion of the disc that is prolapsed and is compressing upon the nerve is removed and at the end of the procedure the nerve is inspected and ensured to be completely free.
Pain usually goes away immediately after the surgery but in approximately 15 percent of the cases, it can come back and occasionally revision surgery is requires. Patients are usually up and about within an hour or two of their surgery and well enough to go home by the following day. There are no sutures to remove and patients can shower on the day of their surgery with the dressing of the wound if they so wish. Follow up is arranged in the rooms within a few weeks but I am always available by phone or email, should there be any concerns.

Categories American Idol 5
Ryan Seacrest hired by E! for $21 million
Date published Jan. 3, 2006, 2:39 pm
Ryan Seacrest has finalized his rumored deal with E! to produce and host shows for the cable network.
According to People magazine, "The new deal, which is said to cover approximately three years, calls for Seacrest to executive produce the network's Live from the Red Carpet awards-show coverage, starting with the Jan. 16 Golden Globes Awards. In addition, he will serve as managing editor of E! News; will produce and host celebrity interview specials; act as tower host of red-carpet shows; and start–in March–as lead anchor E! News."
All of that is in addition to hosting American Top 40 and doing his morning talk show in LA. Oh, and hosting American Idol 5. For all of this, he'll be paid $21 million over three years.
Somehow, that number is less shocking than the one People drops in its second sentence: "…who turned 31 on Christmas Eve…" That age is confirmed by IMDB, but still, 31? Do you get to subtract a year for every botox treatment?

Expose our expenses, says Richmond city councillor
Carol Day wants more details made public about councillors' expenses, but not everyone agrees
GRAEME WOOD | RICHMOND NEWS
Coun. Carol Day
Veteran city councillor Bill McNulty had choice words for first-term colleague Carol Day, after she asked to have council's personal expenses detailed publicly to improve transparency.
"I resent the fact that Coun. Day thinks she'd like to be the hero to put this out," said McNulty, who actually went on to support Day's motion despite stating, "The way we report (expenses) is fine.
McNulty said each councillor should be responsible for explaining his nor her own expenses to the public, when asked.
Day had asked council to amend an annual report on councillor salaries, benefits and expenses. She wanted detailed expenses, not a lump sum, as reported by staff.
Day said doing so is part of council "fulfilling our fiduciary responsibility.
"The public would be very interested in knowing that these expenses, especially for those of us who are new on council, are for attending professional training," said Day.
In her amendment, seconded by Coun. Chak Au, Day said medical benefits should be left out of a detailed report, as such items are private.
McNulty disagreed.
"I think we should put the benefits down, as well. If we're going to be transparent —between Couns. Day and Au — then let's be transparent," said McNulty, who went on to state that he's always defended any of his own expenses.
During the discussion period McNulty, a retired school counsellor, went into further details by noting he had given up his own holiday time to travel to Japan two years in a row to procure the tall ship Kaiwo Maru, for next year's Canada 150 celebrations next May.
"I don't think our expenses have ever been hidden," said McNulty, who had the most expenses in 2015 because of the Japan trip.
The trip was not costed in details publicly, but the Richmond News learned it cost taxpayers just over $13,000 to send McNulty to Japan, including an unscheduled trip to Okinawa, which, according to McNulty, was to research pool facilities.
This year's trip, with a staff member, cost $30,000.
The report showed Day had $5,024 in expenses, the third most after McNulty and Coun. Alexa Loo ($5,985).
Coun. Derek Dang had the lowest 2015 expenses, at $141.
Couns. Dang and Harold Steves and Mayor Malcolm Brodie voted against the motion. After the meeting, Steves said, via Twitter, there was little point to providing details on such little money (he had about $2,000 in expenses).
"Just ask," said Steves.
The report showed Brodie's annual salary is now $127,728 while each councillor earns $58,073 per year (2015 had one extra pay period).
In 2015, former Couns. Evelina Halsey-Brandt and Linda Barnes were paid $62,579 and $68,953, respectively, for a retirement allowance.

Carol Day Councillor: Expenses for 2015
My first full year as a full time Richmond City Councillor has been a busy one and I have attended many Conferences and Seminars the professional training I completed has helped me be a better councillor. Richmond is facing so many challenges, a Jet Fuel Tank farm and Marine terminal that threaten the Fraser river and the mega bridge that will threaten our air quality, traffic congestion on hwy 99, farm land and the Fraser river. When I attend conferences I lobby for support from other mayors and councillors to support our position against these Federally and Provincially driven threats.
The Port of Vancouver has purchased the Gilmore farm and controls the approval process for the VAFFC Jet Fuel project and the province controls the Massey bridge project so I talk with people and gain Intel on these issues. Attending the seminars and workshops informs me about emergency preparedness, municipal law, policing, ALR land and so much more.
I would like the people of Richmond to know about the hard work I have invested on their behalf and part of that comes from disclosing the details of the expenses I have incurred at a councillor. On Monday June 13th, 2016 I proposed a motion to change the way we report Council Remuneration by asking for the details of the individual councillors expenses to be disclosed to the public. Previously only the totals where reported out and the citizens would have to complete a Freedom of Information application to get more details, the vote was occurred and my motion passed.
Here are my expenses for 2015 they include the LMLGA, Local Municipalities of the Lower Mainland AGM in Harrison where I lobbied Port Metro Vancouver to sell the Gilmore Farm back to the farming community and was invited to a follow up lunch.
I attend the FCM, Federation of Canadian Municipalities AGM in Edmonton , where I lobbied to have our motion for the federal government to take away full control away from the ports across Canada and make them responsible to their local host communities.
The UBCM, Union of British Columbia Municipalities AGM was held in Vancouver and I attended many seminars and lobbied the other mayor and councillors to rally with the city of Richmond against the 3.5 billion dollar Massey tunnel replacement bridge so they could get their fair share of provincial transportation funding.
One of the jobs as a councillor is to attend charity and society functions and in my first year I attended many but the experience has taught me that these groups need to consider offering these functions at a reduced price for public officials. When the invitations come in this year I will ask the societies and charities for a discount because the costs add up and as a taxpayer I would like to see these expenses reduced.

Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union.
The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) is suing the New York State Division of Human Rights after it refused to investigate abuse claims against police and correction agencies, saying they were outside of its jurisdiction.
The NYCLU argues that because the Division of Human Rights is responsible for enforcing human rights law in public accommodations, it already has the ability to investigate government agencies like police and correction.
Arrested after a domestic dispute, Letray alleges that the Watertown police made disparaging remarks about her gender expression and questioned her gender identity. At the police station, she said, she was forced to remove her wig against her will, and later at the jail was stripped naked and sexually assaulted.
The Division of Human Rights, led by a commissioner appointed by the governor, dismissed her complaint because "the respondent police and corrections agencies are not public accommodations under the New York State Human Rights Law," according to the victim's petition.
"The New York State Division of Human Rights lacks jurisdiction over these entities in regard to their performance of their function," the agency stated, according to the plaintiff's petition.
The NYCLU fired back that the agency was wrong in defining its breadth of jurisdiction.
Among public accommodations that fall within the jurisdiction of the Division of Human Rights, the NYCLU noted, are housing, education, and employment. To that end, the lawsuit additionally argued that correction agencies fall within the jurisdiction of the Division because those agencies provide housing accommodations.

An immersive introduction to Queen Anne. The Next in a Fine Line.
December 1, 2022, 10:49 a.m. ·5 min read
An elevated travel experience
VALENCIA, Calif., Dec. 1, 2022 /CNW/ -- Last night, Cunard welcomed guests to an extraordinary evening at Carlton House Terrace, London, showcasing all that Queen Anne – the latest Cunard cruise liner – has to offer to top tier media, influencers and cruise industry networks, for a full 360 brand experience.
Following the eagerly anticipated name reveal of Queen Anne earlier this year, Cunard proudly demonstrated how the ship will set the benchmark for luxury ocean travel to guests in an intimate gathering in London. Those in attendance enjoyed an unparalleled insight into reimagined signature spaces of the cruise liner, whilst discovering brand-new venues that will bring guests greater choice.
Cunard unveiled a collection of never before seen artwork championing young contemporary artists, just some of the 4,300 pieces of art that will be aboard the ship. Highlights included Artists Pei Chi Lee, John Biggs and Tommy Camerno at the event showcasing their exclusive masterpieces for Queen Anne, including the reveal of Camerno's portrait of Queen Anne which will be displayed in the Queen's room.

Cunard private label wines and Cunard crafted beer were also on tap to immerse each guest into life on board Queen Anne.
Designers from David Collins Studio, Richmond International and Sybille de Margerie who worked with Creative Director Adam D.

Having been immersed in the Cunard archives, the talents, whose portfolios include luxury hotels, bars, restaurants, high end yachts, and private grand residences, have ensured that Queen Anne exudes classic Cunard style while showcasing many new considered touches. Queen Anne's breath-taking interiors take inspiration from Cunard's past, celebrating the beautiful art deco style finishes that the brand is known for, to define a striking new design direction for the future.
Carnival UK Acting Senior Vice President Angus Struthers warmly greeted guests with these remarks: "Tonight, you started your journey at sunset and travelled through a sensory experience before viewing a one-of-a-kind art gallery showcasing a selection from the 4,300 never seen before pieces of artwork and sculptures that have been curated for Queen Anne. We have been working with more than 3,000 artists and designers and are proud to continue our work championing contemporary artists, some of which you will have the pleasure of meeting this evening. It just leaves me to thank our world leading designers and brand partners as they continue to refine the Cunard signatures and craft a collection of exciting new Queen Anne venues and experiences.

The previous three years have recorded the highest quantity of jailed journalists since CPJ started preserving monitor, with consecutive data set in 2016 and 2017. Turkey, China, and Egypt have been liable for greater than half of these jailed round the world for the third yr in a row.
The bulk of these imprisoned globally–70 %–are dealing with anti-state fees corresponding to belonging to or aiding teams deemed by authorities as terrorist organizations. The quantity imprisoned on costs of false information rose to 28 globally, in contrast with 9 simply two years in the past. Egypt jailed the most journalists on false information costs with 19, adopted by Cameroon with 4, Rwanda with three, and one every in China and Morocco. The rise comes amid heightened international rhetoric about "fake news," of which U.S. President Donald Trump is the main voice.
Extra broadly, President Xi Jinping has steadily elevated his grip on energy since taking workplace in 2013; this yr, authorities stepped up regulation of know-how that may bypass the nation's notorious firewall, issued lists "of "approved" information retailers, and disbarred legal professionals who symbolize jailed journalists, CPJ has discovered. Whereas President Trump has regularly pressed Beijing over its commerce and know-how practices, human rights–reminiscent of press freedom and the crackdown in Xinjiang–haven't figured into the headlines.
Even after trial, Egyptian authorities go to transparently ridiculous lengths to maintain important journalists behind bars. Photojournalist Mahmoud Abou Zeid, referred to as Shawkan, has been in jail since August 14, 2013, when he was arrested masking clashes between Egyptian safety forces and supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi. First, authorities held him for 2 years with out cost; then they put him on trial for weapons possession, unlawful meeting, homicide, and tried homicide. On September eight, 2018, a courtroom convicted Shawkan of homicide and membership of a terrorist group and sentenced him to 5 years in jail—time he had already served. Now authorities are holding Shawkan for a further six months for unpaid fines referring to unspecified damages throughout the 2013 protests, in line with his lawyer. CPJ honored Shawkan with an Worldwide Press Freedom Award in 2016.
Saudi Arabia–underneath intense scrutiny for the homicide of exiled, important Washington Publish columnist Jamal Khashoggi in its Istanbul consulate in October–stepped up its repression of journalists at residence, with at the very least 16 journalists behind bars on December 1. The prisoners embrace 4 feminine journalists who wrote about ladies's rights in the kingdom, together with the ban on ladies driving that was lifted in June.
Whilst Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been the fiercest critic of Saudi Arabia for the homicide of Khashoggi, his authorities continued to jail extra journalists than another on the planet. CPJ discovered no less than 68 journalists jailed for his or her work in Turkey, which is barely decrease than earlier years. In the course of the yr, dozens extra have been jailed or launched, as prosecutors proceed to hunt arrest warrants and apply new fees, and courts ordered some journalists launched pending trial and acquitted others. For the third consecutive yr, each journalist imprisoned in Turkey is dealing with anti-state costs.
Erdoğan started the crackdown earlier than the 2016 failed coup try, however afterward intensified it, shutting down greater than 100 information retailers by decree. These on the periphery of the journalistic career are additionally weak. CPJ's listing of jailed journalists doesn't embrace 13 employees from Gün Printing Home, together with its proprietor, a safety guard, and a number of other machine operators, who have been jailed. Their "crime" is evidently printing Özgürlükçü Demokrasi, a pro-Kurdish day by day paper that the authorities took over and ultimately shut down. A number of journalists affiliated with the paper, who're included in the jail census, are detained on accusations of supporting the banned Kurdistan Staff' Social gathering, or PKK. Dozens extra in Turkey are accused of affiliation with PKK or with an alleged terror group run by exiled preacher Fethullah Gülen, which the authorities blames for the tried coup.
In the United States, the place journalists encountered hostile rhetoric and deadly violence in 2018, no journalists have been in jail on December 1, though 9 have been arrested in the course of the yr, in line with the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker, of which CPJ is a associate. Moreover, over the previous yr and half, CPJ has documented or assisted in the instances of at the least seven overseas journalists looking for asylum in the United States as a result of of work-related threats at house, who have been held in extended detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
CPJ's listing is a snapshot of these incarcerated at 12:01 a.m. on December 1, 2018. It doesn't embrace the many journalists imprisoned and launched all through the yr; accounts of these instances could be discovered at https://cpj.org. Journalists stay on CPJ's listing till the group determines with affordable certainty that they've been launched or have died in custody.


The Washington Nationals have set a franchise record by winning Stephen Strasburg's last 14 starts. Now he'd like to break a pair for himself.
The longest winning streak and best start to a season are those club marks within reach for Strasburg on Sunday when he faces the visiting St. Louis Cardinals.
The Nationals have dropped five of their last eight games, including two straight, but haven't lost one started by Strasburg since Sept. 9. His dominance dates back even further because since coming off the disabled list June 23, his 2.22 ERA is topped only by Jake Arrieta (1.18) and Clayton Kershaw (1.40).
Strasburg now can match Arrieta for the best record in baseball at 9-0, something no pitcher in his franchise's history has achieved. Pedro Martinez had been the last to begin 8-0 in 1997. Strasburg also can break a tie for the franchise-record winning streak, having won 11 consecutive decisions just as Dennis Martinez did in 1989 and Livan Hernandez in 2005.
A big reason the wins keep coming is Washington has averaged 6.7 runs in his 10 starts. Strasburg certainly has done his part, posting a 2.79 ERA while his 11.44 strikeouts per nine innings rank second in baseball.
He had 21 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings in his last two starts, beating the New York Mets in both while allowing three runs.
"Adjectives are tough to describe how well he's thrown the ball this year," second baseman Daniel Murphy told MLB's official website. "I'm glad he's on my side. And he's just been unbelievable."
The Cardinals have already seen it. They got two runs and four hits off Strasburg in the first inning April 29, but he held them to no runs and four hits through the next six in a 5-4 victory.
''That's their M.O. They're going to come out hacking and hunting the heaters,'' Strasburg said after his first win in five starts versus St. Louis despite a 2.76 ERA.
The Cardinals lead the NL with 68 homers and are among the leaders with 176 walks after drawing four apiece off Max Scherzer and Gio Gonzalez in the last two days and defeating both. Matt Holliday, 6 for 12 against Strasburg, homered in Saturday's 9-4 win and Matt Carpenter had an RBI double after missing two games for the birth of his first child.
Carpenter started at first instead of his usual third base as Greg Garcia remained there. Garcia has reached base in eight of 10 plate appearances, including three hits Saturday, since being called up when Carpenter was put on the paternity list.
"I had these visions of, 'What can you do to stay?'" Garcia said Saturday after Ruben Tejada was designated for assignment rather than him being sent down.
Michael Wacha (2-5, 5.04) is pitching like he belongs in the minors. A 17-game winner in 2015, Wacha is the first St. Louis pitcher to lose five straight decisions since Joel Pineiro in 2009 and the first to allow at least six runs in three consecutive starts since Mike Maroth in 2007. He's given up 20 runs and 24 hits in 12 innings during that span.
The right-hander allowed a career-worst eight runs in four innings of a 12-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
The good news for Wacha is he has an 0.79 ERA in three matchups with the Nationals, striking out 22 in 22 2/3 innings.
Washington has hit six homers through three games of this series, including two by Ryan Zimmerman and one by Bryce Harper on Saturday. Zimmerman tied a career high with four hits to break an 0-for-11 slump, and Harper hit his second homer in three games after going 11 straight without one.

El sistema sexagesimal és un sistema de representació numèrica (sistema de numeració) en base seixanta.

Emprat originàriament pels sumeris entre el 3000 aC i el 2000 aC es va transmetre després als babilonis.

L'avantatge d'aquesta base (60 = 3x4x5) és la facilitat de càlcul pel gran nombre de divisors que té {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60}

Encara l'utilitzem en mesurar el temps, on els minuts i segons són la primera i la segona parts fraccionàries de l'hora en base 60 (1 hora = 60 minuts = 3600 segons).

També el fem servir en la mesura dels angles: prenent l'angle del triangle equilàter com a patró, el més fàcil de reproduir amb fidelitat, un grau (del llatí gradus: graó) n'és la divisió sexagesimal. El grau el subdividim en minuts i segons sexagesimals.

Fraccions
El sistema sexagesimal és força bo per fer fraccions. Heus aquí un exemple de fraccions i la xifra sexagesimal equivalent
 el caràcter punt-i-coma ; indica el punt sexagesimal
 el caràcter coma , separa posicions de dígits sexagesimals
 1/2 = 0; 30
 1/3 = 0; 20
 1/4 = 0; 15
 1/5 = 0; 12
 1/6 = 0; 10
 1/8 = 0; 7, 30
 1/9 = 0; 6, 40
 1/10 = 0; 6
 1/12 = 0; 5
 1/15 = 0; 4
 1/16 = 0; 3, 45
 1/18 = 0; 3, 20
 1/20 = 0; 3
 1/30 = 0; 2
 1/40 = 0; 1, 30
 1/50 = 0; 1, 12
 1/ 1, 00 = 0; 1 (1/60 en decimal)

Representació sumèria

Els Sumeris feien servir cons i cercles per indicar els nombres que descriuen quantitats discretes.

La unitat es representava per un "con" petit en forma de U tancada per dalt.

Deu cons equivalien a un cercle petit.

Seixanta (sis cercles) es representaven per un con gran.

Deu vegades seixanta era un con gran amb un cercle petit a dins.

Seixanta vegades seixanta era un cercle gran.

Deu vegades el cercle gran es representava afegint-hi a dins un cercle petit.

Representació cuneïforme
Cap al final del tercer mil·lenni aC la representació es va substituir per equivalents cuneïformes per a ser fets amb els mateixos estilets d'escriure text.

Els cons (de valor 1) van derivar en un marca vertical similar a la Y i els cercles (de valor 10) en una marca angular similar a <.

I es va introduir la representació posicional.

El zero no es representava o s'hi deixava un espai.

Un nombre inferior a 60, per exemple 39 es representava repetint les marques ( 3 < i 9 Y) mencionades.
 YYY
 <<< YYY
 YYY

Per a representar nombres de més dígits sexagesimals (a partir de 60) se separaven els dígits en columnes.

Per exemple 165 = 2x60 + 45, en sexagesimal tindria els dígits: (2, 45) que en representació cuneïforme seria

 YY
 YY <<<< YYY

Comptar amb els dits
Als seus orígens, aquest sistema va ser ideat per fer comptes amb els dits, prenent com a unitat la falange dels dits de la mà. El càlcul es feia de la següent manera:
1 falange = 1 unitat
Per tant, 1 dit = 3 unitats
Si fem servir el dit polze de la mà dreta com a índex, passant-lo per damunt les falanges dels altres dits, per fer el compte de la mà esquerra, (3 falanges x 4 dits) surt l'equivalència
1 mà esquerra = 12 unitats
Quan passem a comptar els dits de la mà dreta i apliquem l'equivalència anterior a cada dit de la mà dreta, (12 unitats x 5 dits) surt que
1 mà dreta = 60 unitats

WHO Details $15m Plan to Prevent Sexual Exploitation and Abuse – Putting 'Victim at Heart' of Response
Emergency Response 18/10/2021 • Elaine Ruth Fletcher
WHO, other UN and humanitarian agencies recruited hundreds of staff to respond to DRC's 2018-2020 Ebola response who received little or no real training in how to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation and abuse.
The World Health Organization would allocate some US$ 15 million annually to ramp up training programmes for WHO staff and consultants in the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), beginning with ten countries that have the "highest risk" profile, according to a draft plan under discussion with member states.
The proposed "Management Response Plan", presented to WHO member states in a closed door meeting last week, will focus on "putting the victim and survivor at the heart of prevention and response to SEA," said a WHO spokesperson, who shared new details of the plan with Health Policy Watch on Monday.
The WHO plan was developed in response to the recent findings of an Independent Commission that found widespread WHO staff and consultants supporting the agency's response to the 2018-2020 Ebola outbreak in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo had raped, harassed, and traded sex for jobs and other favours with Congolese women.
"The findings reported by Independent Commission are horrifying," the spokesperson added, echoeing statements made by senior WHO officials when the Independent Commission's findings were first published. "WHO apologises unreservedly to the victims and survivors of these appalling events, as well as to their families and communities.
"WHO is committed to ensuring the survivors get the support and assistance they need. WHO will take every measure in its power to bring perpetrators to account, including referring to and collaborating with relevant national authorities on any criminal proceedings."
Accountability in reform of WHO culture
Gaya Gamhewage, WHO director of Prevention and Response to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, at the 28 September press briefing on the findings of the Independent Commission.
The new plan outlines a series of "immediate" actions to be taken between mid-October and end March 2022, including: "completing investigations, taking urgent managerial action and launching a series of internal reviews and audits," the spokesperson said.
Medium term, from mid-November 2021 to end December 2022, the plan will prioritize:
Embedding a "victim- and survivor-centred approach, framework and services";
Establishing and enforcing "accountability and capacity of WHO personnel, managers and leaders for prevention and response to sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment (PRSEAH)";
Reform of WHO structures and cultures.
A new PSEA focal point has already been dispatched to the eastern DRC, which reported its second Ebola case last week following the end of the 2018-2020 epidemic that struck Ituri and North Kivu provinces.
Other countries to be immediately prioritized for the training include: Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Venezuela, and Yemen, WHO said.
Prevention was just a Box to be "Ticked" – Former UN worker tells Health Policy Watch
The Commission's findings, published last month, found that some 83 emergency responders to DR-Congo's 2018-2020 Ebola outbreak, including at least 21 WHO employees and consultants, had likely abused dozens of Congolese women, obtaining sex in exchange for promises of jobs, as well as raping nine women – some of whom later became pregnant and gave birth.
'Humbled and horrified': WHO Reacts to Findings on DR Congo Sexual Abuse – But Will High-level WHO Officials be Investigated Too?
The Commission was formed in the wake of an investigation by The New Humanitarian and Thomson Reuters Foundation in September of 2020, which found evidence of widespread sexual abuse among the WHO and other UN responders – who used their positions of power to leverage sex from DRC women.
The epidemic was a perfect storm for such abuse since the same UN agencies and humanitarian groups that had hired hundreds of local and international workers to respond to the deadly emergency also failed to provide any real training in the sensitive balances of power that their new jobs entailed, one former UN PSEA counselor told Health Policy Watch in an interview.
"It was a tick, it was a tick box exercise of like, Oh, we've got someone doing it, someone's attending the meetings," said the former UN worker, who asked not to be identified.
She said the lack of sensitivity to the risks of sexual exploitation by men freshly hired and empowered by their jobs was widespread among UN and humanitarian response groups – although WHO as the largest agency on the ground, also became the lightning rod for spreading rumors about abuse.
Ebola response activities in DRC involved the massive recruitment of new WHO and UN staff – who received little or no training in how to use their positions of power in workplace relationships.
Senior UN Agency heads displayed little interest in the quality or extent of preventative training offered to the new response teams – leaving it to a handful of PSEA focal points to design and execute their own programmes.
"I'd go out in person, and explain what is the difference between sexual harassment and sexual exploitation and abuse, and why that's not the same; what is ok and what is not ok, and what the reporting mechanisms are; and what we mean by zero tolerance," the former PSEA worker said.
"But they [my supervisors] never even asked me about anything that I did until the New Humanitarian article came out. By that time, I'd already left. I'd finished my contract – but suddenly they were interested in what the f-k, I was doing this whole time?"
Plan to be developed as a three-year strategy
Following feedback from member states, WHO's new abuse and exploitation prevention plan is due to be published within the next few days.
But it will remain a "living document" "drawing on the learnings during its implementation as well as on the experience of other UN Agencies, partners and Member states," the WHO spokesperson said.
Ultimately, WHO will develop a full-fledged three year strategy, for the years 2023-2025, the spokesperson said.
"WHO has allocated an initial US$7.6 million to immediately strengthen its capacity to prevent, detect and respond to SEA, in ten countries with the highest risk profile: Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Venezuela, and Yemen," the spokesperson said.
"WHO is also committing additional funds to address the longer-term surge in capacity that we need to implement the MRP. An initial estimate is that we'll need about US$15 million a year, but we are still working on the details," the spokesperson added.

AmatrArt release video for 'Soft Skin'!
AmatrArt have released the video for their recent single Soft Skin.
The video dropped in perfect time for their launch show on 29th April at The Hug and Pint in Glasgow and was premiered by the wonderful folks at Clash. The video is now available to watch on the band's YouTube channel.
The video completes a successful few months for the band who have picked up a well of support around the release of their double a-side single Mirror / Soft Skin. Mirror was first aired by Vic Galloway on his BBC Radio Scotland show with Soft Skin making it's debut on Crack In The Road. Both tracks are now available to stream from the embed below or on the ABoF Soundcloud page.
Subversively playing with the indie/electro dynamic, AmatrArt have carefully constructed a sound that embraces the immediacy of indie-pop, allied to a distinctively high brow ambient sound, all unified by the dreamy Mark Hollis (Talk Talk) style vocals produced by Jonathan Mullen.
Soft Skin offers a perfect example of the talent AmatrArt possess despite their young age. Encapsulating the electronica intricacies of Kid A era Radiohead, Soft Skin kicks off with the alluring sounds of synth straddling chiming guitar, while singer Mullen shows off his vocal range, the verses delivered flawlessly, as the mix between his and the rest of the bands punctuated choral vocals help to create an almost overwhelming effect.
Mirror, which opens with a sweeping synth and heavily reverbed guitar, is a song of self-reflection with the protagonist questioning his decisions, before summing up with the line "where did I go wrong?". A rasping guitar riff emanates throughout the chorus followed by a searing solo, as the song builds and builds before coming to a crashing end.
Having known each other and played music together from a young age Jonathan Mullen (Vocals & Guitar), Josh McGeechan (Guitar) and Niall Jootun (Bass) formed AmatrArt after a series of jams and bedroom recordings. Completing the line up with Niall Morris (Samples/Synths) and Lewis Orr (Drums) the band have gone onto produce as sound that sits somewhere between contemporary acts such as alt-J, Dutch Uncles and Nothing But Thieves. Having already played the T Break Stage at T in the Park last year, as well as picking up support from the likes of BBC Radio Scotland, Scotland on Sunday, The Herald and Clash, AmatrArt are hoping to continue to pierce the public stream of consciousness with their affecting sound. You can catch the band's launch show on Friday 29th April at The Hug and Pint in Glasgow.
Mirror/Soft Skin is out now via Bloc+ Music and is available to buy digitally on iTunes or stream on Spotify.
