State law school clemency projects help shorten drug sentences
Clemency projects rooted at Minnesota law schools have recently helped a handful of inmates get their sentences shortened by President Obama. Attorneys working on the projects expect more clemencies to be announced as the end of Obama's term approaches.
In 2014, Obama ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to prioritize clemency applications from inmates convicted of nonviolent drug crimes who would receive shorter sentences under current laws.
The latest batch of 214 inmates to have sentences commuted by the president was announced on Wednesday, at least 67 of whom were sentenced to serve life in prison.
One inmate, Bernard Gibson, Sr., a client of the clemency program at the University of Minnesota Law School, had been sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996 for possessing cocaine and heroin with the intent to distribute. He had his life sentence commuted by the president to 260 months — almost 22 years — imprisonment.
Professor JaneAnne Murray, who runs the university's clemency program with her students, said Gibson's case is especially gratifying because he was one of the first clients to sign up when the program started in 2014.
When Murray told Gibson he'd be released, she said his reaction was muted, a result of decades of incarceration.
"For me it's incredibly emotional, I've worked so closely digging into their cases in the past two years along with the students," Murray said. "It's incredible just to say to a client that you're going to be going home, and I'm the one trying to choke back the tears in the moment."
University of St. Thomas Professor Mark Osler has also led efforts to get inmates granted clemency.
Osler said in an email Thursday that three clients of his program received clemency in this round. Minneapolis native Keith Ray had his 263-month sentence for intent to distribute crack commuted to August of 2018.
Another client from the University of Minnesota's clemency program, Teresa Griffin, had her sentence commuted in June.
Murray is on the Clemency 2014 steering committee, which is seeking to recruit pro bono attorneys to represent clients in their clemency cases.
"There are thousands of inmates who have fallen through these cracks, the victims of punitive policies from the '80s and the '90s who would not benefit from all the retroactive changes that have been made in the ensuing decades," Murray said.
Obama has granted 562 commutations, which the White House said in a statement is more than any president in a century. But about 35,000 inmates have applied for early release.
"It's never going to be able to address the massive need that's there," Murray said. "That's why we need Congress to step in and we need more systematic efforts to ensure that these individuals aren't forgotten."

Grisly hit-and-run recounted by witness
By Kyle Lawson | klawson@siadvance.com
Woman, 37, severely injured by hit-and-run driver
Gallery: Woman, 37, severely injured by hit-and-run driver
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- A day that began at an amusement park on Long Island ended in horrific fashion for a mother of three.
Monique Knight, 37, was struck by a hit-and-run driver on Westervelt Avenue in New Brighton just after midnight on Monday while pulling her 4-month-old out of the rear passenger seat, police said.
A friend who lives at the apartment building where Knight was struck said she heard a car screeching down the block, followed by a crash. She went outside, fearing her car had been damaged.
What she found was much worse.
"I looked down, and her leg was splattered," said Shanelle Browning. "[Knight] said she was OK, and just to call 9-1-1... she was holding it down for the kids."
Knight, a single mother of three, was transported to Richmond University Medical Center where surgeons were able to save her life, and her legs from amputation, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
A second adult was sleeping in the front passenger seat and an 8-year-old was in a rear passenger seat at the time of the incident, though neither were injured, police said.
As the driver of a SUV plowed into Knight, she had the wherewithal to drop her baby, which could have saved the baby's life, Browning said.
"When she saw the car, she instantly threw (the baby) into the car," said Browning. "He did hit the floor in the car, but he was in the car."
Police were still looking for the unidentified driver on Monday afternoon.
The driver was headed north on Westervelt and first crashed into a parked car, then the victim, police said.
Knight was allegedly parked illegally at the time of the incident, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
The nature of the parking violation was unclear on Monday, though Browning said Knight was not double-parked.
Browning said neighbors at her apartment building on the 300 block of Westervelt Avenue have raised concerns with city officials about the safety of the narrow, winding, bumpy stretch of road.
"Maybe once a week somebody's car is getting hit, or bumped into," Browning said. "We come outside and our cars are pushed up on to the sidewalk, our mirrors are gone..."

Q: Page Refresh in PhP After .xlsx Download On my site, if a user chooses to download a file, I set a session variable called $step to "downloadEnd" and my PhP code downloads a template file using the following code:
if ($step == "downloadEnd") {

    $file = "Template.xlsx";
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: ' . $mime);
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
    header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($file) . "\"");
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Expires: 0');
    header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
    header('Pragma: public');
    readfile($file);
    exit();
    $step = "nextStep"; // THIS IS THE LINE THAT DOES NOT EXECUTE
}

if ($step == "nextStep") {
     // New Information Rendered to the User
}

The above code works, EXCEPT, that the last line of the first does not appear to 'execute'.  In other words, after the download is complete, I want the user to see a new page with new text which is in a separate if statement ... if ($step == "downloadStart") ... but it never gets there.  I believe it is because I need to somehow 'trick' the server into thinking there has been another user POST from the browser to the server AFTER the file downloads so that PhP iterates through all the 'if' statements and renders the new information to the user.  I cannot seem to find a way to either: (i) have PhP trigger a page refresh after the file is done downloading; or (ii) trick the server into thinking it needs to refresh the page once the file is done.  Any help would be appreciated.
I should add that I know the exit() at the end stops the PhP script from executing, but if you omit that line of code, the .xlsx file will be corrupted.  I should also add that I tried the alternative fopen($file), fread($file), fclose($file) and that too gave me a corrupted .xlsx download, which is a problem others appear to have encountered as evidenced by other posts on Stack Overflow.

A: I think I see what your problem is. By running exit() you tell PHP to stop what it's doing. Try the following code:
if ($step == "downloadEnd") {

$file = "Template.xlsx";
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: ' . $mime);
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: Binary");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=\"" . basename($file) . "\"");
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
header('Expires: 0');
header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate');
header('Pragma: public');
readfile($file);
$step = "nextStep"; // THIS IS THE LINE THAT DOES NOT EXECUTE
}

if ($step == "nextStep") {
     // New Information Rendered to the User
}

Also, you might want to look into JavaScript for refreshing the page after a document has downloaded.
Edit
If you are wanting to show this like a "click link if file did not properly download" page would be then the following should work:
if ($step == "downloadEnd") {

$fileURL = "https://example.com/path/to/Template.xlsx";
echo('<script>window.open("' . $fileURL . '", "_blank");</script>');
$step = "nextStep";
}

if ($step == "nextStep") {
     // New Information Rendered to the User
}

You can use something like ob_end() or ob_end_clean() but it would be better to put the new information on a separate page and redirect the user there with echo('<script>window.location.replace("new.php")</script>'). Hope that helped! Also, PHP is a server-side language and therefore cannot tell when a file has finished downloading on the client.

Moscow, a paradise on earth?
Posted: March 16, 2012 in Reisverslag, Reizen, Russia, Travel, Vakantie
Tags: Clubbing, kremlin, Moscow, Red Square, Russia, Tourism, Travel
'If there is a paradise on earth, it is here'. Some cities on our planet use this slogan to distinguish themselves from others. A rather arrogant and bombastic claim, in my opinion. And honestly speaking, in my experience it is always besides the truth. So far nobody came up with such a pretentious phrase for Moscow. As far as I can recall, Moscow does not have a slogan at all. Perhaps because nobody in Moscow dares to really start promoting the city? Or perhaps because nobody really seems to care about promotion?
But why not? The image of overcrowded, big, grey, ugly, dangerous city, cursed with a horrible climate and full of unsmiling and unhappy people needs to be changed. Especially because of the ambitious goal to attract seven million foreign tourists to Moscow by 2018. Approximately three million more than last year. Yes, coincidentally (or not), in 2018 the World Championship Football will be held in Russia and Moscow. This will definitely attract loads of westerners who, normally, would not even think of Russia as a possible holiday destination. But after 2018, soon 2019 will arrive. And would it not be a bit silly when the number of foreigners would go down drastically straight after this football event?
By the way, the numbers four and seven million are communicated by the 'Moscow Committee for Tourism and Hospitality'. In fact, not necessarily the most neutral committee in the world. It is therefore questionable whether there really were four million foreigners really trying to have a glimpse at Lenin, attempting to meet and greet with Putin in his Kremlin or wandering around the Red Square. In a country where nothing is as it seems, it is tempting to put a big question mark behind these numbers. Even more tempting it is to forecast that, in 2018, the Committee will announce that indeed seven million foreigners were visiting Moscow. I would even say that these chances are higher than the re-election of Putin in that same year.
An important question is what Moscow is actually doing to realize this growth. Ask the marketers of the bigger hotels or the owners of travel agencies. Even before they answer, it is clear that they are not positive at all. Their eyes are indicating this. First and foremost, they start to complain about the letters of invitations and visa regulations. Both required for (almost) all foreign tourists, before being allowed to enter Russia. Many of them strongly believe in Moscow being a new weekend destination for Europeans. And it is true, it is only three hours by plane. But due to this visa hassle, tourists will think twice before actually going. Too complicated, too much work and too much stress.
Then there are the actions of the authorities, responsible for tourism and its policy. Often completely not in line with what they claim. The latest example is the entrance fee for the Kremlin. Most probably the most beloved and best known attraction in town. Since January 2012 two people have to pay € 70 each to get inside the Kremlin, including the Armoury and the Diamond Fund. Seventy euros! Well, included in the price are the services of a guide. But a guide is absolutely required because without one any tourist will just smell the rich history. Without knowing what it is all about. Why it was decided to raise the entrance fee that drastically? The most obvious explanation is that the authorities believe that tourists will come and visit the Kremlin anyway. Whether they have to pay € 25 or € 70. And they are probably right. So in the short term it might be profitable. But in the longer term? Most probably rather the contrary. Because investing in or developing new touristic attractions is clearly not a priority.
Let me take you to the Red Square and surroundings on a sunny day in spring or summer. Loads of tourists are sitting somewhere in the grass or on a wall, eating a Russian ice cream from Mc Donald's. They look a bit unhappy and lost. Simply because they are wondering what is next. Wondering what else Moscow has to offer but the Red Square and the Kremlin. Of course, a lot! And more! But for foreigners, who most probably do not speak or read Cyrillic it is not that easy to figure this out. And much assistance in their search they do not receive. Yes, it is true, there are plenty of men and women, armed with a megaphone, to announce various excursions in and around Moscow. But it is all in Russian. Like there are no four million foreigners around, all looking for something more to discover. A missed opportunity to make some more money. A missed opportunity to highlight other attractions in Moscow. A missed opportunity to broaden the horizon of the tourists and the diversity of Moscow.
But who knows? Maybe once upon a time, one could have found paradise here? Why not in fact? Let me be clear, nowadays there is nothing heavenly to find on the surface. Any tourist, both Russian and foreign, has to work hard to discover the beauty of this fantastic city. Perhaps, Moscow, it is time to help all these lost foreigners a bit? And why not, as a kick-off, create an attractive slogan. Do not mention anything heavenly in it, though. Overconfident and too much untrue. But what about this one: Moscow Matters.
Moskou, een paradijs op aard?

A central goal in the development of CoCoScore is to make it as easy as possible for new users to get start with context-aware co-occurrence text mining. So far, I recommended new users to set up a conda virtual environment to install CoCoScore and its dependencies. I now started working on releasing CoCoScore as a library on PyPI.
Releasing on PyPI will allow an installation via pip and make it even easier for new users to get started with CoCoScore because installing conda will not be needed anymore. You can follow my progress on wrapping up the PyPI release in this pull request.

Former Iowa official wins $1.5M in discrimination case
by: DAVID PITT, Associated Press
FILE – In this Oct. 2013, file photo, Iowa Workers' Compensation Commissioner Chris Godfrey speaks in Des Moines, Iowa. Former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and a staffer discriminated against the state's then-commissioner of workers' compensation, Godfrey, in 2011 because he's gay, and the ex-official is entitled to $1.5 million for emotional distress, a jury said Monday, July 15, 2019. (The Des Moines Register via AP, File)
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and a staffer discriminated against the state's then-commissioner of workers' compensation in 2011 because he's gay, and the ex-official is entitled to $1.5 million for emotional distress, a jury said Monday.
Polk County jurors found that Chris Godfrey not only proved the discrimination occurred, but also showed he was retaliated against in the form of a pay cut after refusing to quit.
"The jury heard my sexual orientation was clearly a motivating factor," Godfrey said. "This is a win for me and it's a win for the entire gay community in Iowa. It shows that we have sexual orientation in the Civil Rights Act in Iowa for a reason and nobody, not even Terry Branstad, is above that law."
Branstad, a Republican who is now the U.S. ambassador to China, denied knowing Godfrey was gay when he asked for his resignation in 2011. Branstad returned from Beijing to Iowa for one day last month to testify.
On Monday, Branstad's attorney directed reporters to the office of the current governor, also a Republican, for comment.
"We are disappointed in the verdict and are consulting with our attorneys," Gov. Kim Reynolds' spokesman, Pat Garrett, said.
Godfrey, a Democrat, sued Branstad and several members of his staff and Cabinet in 2012. The lawsuit initially included Reynolds, but she was dropped from the case before it went to trial as were several others.
Remaining as defendants were the state, Branstad, former Branstad legal counsel Brenna Findley, and former Branstad chief of staff Jeff Boeyink.
Boeyink was the only remaining named defendant the jury did not hold responsible.
Branstad took the action against Godfrey shortly after he was elected to the first of his two most recent terms as governor. Godfrey, who couldn't be fired under a provision in Iowa law intending his six-year term to be insulated from politics, alleged Branstad pressured him to resign by cutting more than a third of his salary.
"Keep in mind the day after Branstad did this or it may have been the very day, I called the governor's office and I said, 'Restore his salary, apologize and it will be over,'" said Godfrey's attorney, Roxanne Conlin. "Instead it took eight years to get justice. Eight very long years."
The money being awarded to Godfrey will be paid by Iowa taxpayers.
For the discrimination and retaliation claims, the jury awarded Godfrey $400,000 for past emotional distress and $100,000 for future emotional damages against the state, Conlin said.
The jury also found Godfrey was denied constitutional due process rights by Branstad, Findley and the state. Jurors awarded him $800,000 for past emotional distress and $200,000 for future emotional distress for that failure.
The verdict in Godfrey's favor likely means state taxpayers also will be responsible for attorney fees for Branstad, which before the monthlong trial were well in excess of $1 million, and attorney fees for Godfrey.
The verdict and several rulings by the judge during trial could be appealed.
"A lot of people didn't want to believe the governor of the state of Iowa himself would discriminate," said Godfrey, now the chief judge of the board that decides federal workers' compensation disputes in Washington. "Being able to call my mom and let her know the jury heard all the evidence and sided with us, that means a lot."

What a 94-Year-Old Track Star Can Teach Us About Aging
by Bruce Grierson Featured Uncategorized
From THE GLOBE AND MAIL, JAN 11, 2014
Not long ago, I came across a little list I'd scribbled in a notebook."Here is what 47 feels like on a bad day":
• You prepare a little milk, with a dash of vanilla, in a mug, which you go to heat up in the microwave. There is already a mug of milk, with a dash of vanilla, in there.
• You discover in the bathroom drawer a product you remember buying to give hair more "volume and energy." You have no hair.
• You run into people you know, but can't remember the level of intimacy you have with them. (Do we hug? You approach fearfully.)
• You worry you have become too unfit to successfully perform CPR on someone like you.
There were more items on the list, including one that started and simply trailed off. I'd either forgotten what it was or grown too depressed to continue.
Aging happens, of course – I just hadn't expected its sour breath so soon. Isn't 50 supposed to be the new 30? Apparently not for me. For whatever reason, I'd gotten old the way the way Hemingway said people go broke: slowly and then quickly.
And then came a stroke of amazing fortune. Olga Kotelko dropped into my life.

Time is a Hunter
by Bruce Grierson Blog Entry
SOME PEOPLE, after hearing about Olga for the first time, go to YouTube clips expecting to see her tearing down the track like Flo-Jo. She doesn't.
Let's put this in perspective: Olga is one of the fastest 94-year-olds who ever lived. But she is 94 — and there are certain things that happen to the human body that are simply inevitable and non-negotiable. Time is an unforgiving hunter. Beyond age 75 or so, the performance curves crater for everybody, no exceptions. Age steals away fast-twitch muscle, and then it steals away slow-twitch muscle. It changes the way we look when we move. The process usually happens too gradually to see — unless a vivid demonstration like this one is cooked up.
On the last day of the world outdoor masters athletics championships in Lahti in 2010, organizers staged a crowd-pleasing contest called a "unique handicap race." All of world-record setters in the 100-metre dash gathered on the track. Six women lined up, youngest (35) to oldest (90). The youngest, Czech Stepanka Gottvaldova, began at the starting line and everyone else was given a progressively bigger head start. Olga's starting block was a good thirty metres downfield.
Here's what happens:
At the snap of the gun. Olga is off. But she's soon caught by New Zealander Margaret Peters, 75. Then the rest of the field reels her in. The 50, 70, 60, and then 80-year-old champions overtake her. By the 80-metre mark Olga is dead last. If you keep pushing the pause button on the video, reducing the race to a set of stills, the sense is overwhelmingly of a kind of time-lapse depiction of the aging process. In the older runners the stride length shortens, the posture changes. It looks like those hominid-from-ape evolutionary charts, but in reverse.
To me, a few things jump out from those results. (Apart from the fact that the race wasn't quite handicapped properly. If it were, all the runners would have finished in roughly the same time.)
The big difference between the runners is not the turnover rate, the actual number of steps each athlete is taking; the difference is power. The dropoff in muscular force isn't something you necessary notice in the longer distances, but it's obvious in the sprints. The sheer electric force of the younger runners is just not there in the older ones. It has to do with the rapid loss of muscle mass beyond age 75 or so, and other factors, such as the loss in number and quality of mitochondria in that muscle. Scientists such as Tanja Taivassalo and Russ Hepple are investigating what else might be involved, and why certain people (like Olga) seem naturally better protected from the ravages of time than others.
But to me, that clip evokes something much bigger than sport. It strikes me as a metaphor for what aging must feel like, in those upper registers. The old are getting reeled in by the young. They are simply getting overtaken by the trappings of youth culture – the pace of media, technology, data movement, processing speed; the primacy of sex appeal and immediately gratified appetites. You have to be a pretty strong person, comfortable in your own skin, to stay in the race under those conditions. To keep pressing, without letting up in discouragement, right to the tape.

Sunday in the Museum with Olga
OLGA WAS SCHEDULED for a battery of cognitive tests at the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana. But the flights in and out of there were tricky, so we built in a buffer day in Chicago. Before leaving we had a pow-wow of what she might like to do there.
I encouraged her not to edit herself. It was wide open. A full day in one of the world's great cities, a place bursting with peak experiences waiting to be had. Her choice, I reckoned, would tell me something about her strategies for squeezing maximum life out of this life. What was begging to be fed inside of her: body? Mind? Soul? Which of the three mortality-beating virtues – empathy, mindfulness, and gratitude – would she bring into play?
I threw a few options on the table.
There was a morning service at St. Joseph the Betrothed Ukranian Catholic Church – one of the most striking churches in the world and right up her street, theologically. She was lukewarm. She felt no need to get her attendance in; she's in pretty good standing with her God.
The Botanical Garden? Well, there are pretty great gardens in her own town. Thanks.
The Field Museum, with its famous, fabulous T-Rex skeleton? Maybe if we had more time.
Okay, I said. You love your food. What about a transcendent meal at Modo, the experimental restaurant where the fare is like art and you eat the menus? She was intrigued. But she admitted she wouldn't really be happy eating there. At some level it could never square with the prairie frugalness still in her. Her enjoyment, she said, would always be diluted by the little voice of conscience saying: "Is it really worth it?"
She was keen seeing a Cubs game, but the team was scheduled to be on the road that day.
So we pressed pause, agreeing to scout conditions and make the call on the fly.
And come Monday morning, as the city heated up like a griddle, we ended up at the stone steps of the city's great cultural jewel, the Art Institute of Chicago.
Olga is a self-taught painter. As a girl she liked to park herself in the corner and quietly draw her family. (She once sketched her maternal grandfather, Michaylo, on a cold winter day with his feet up in the oven to keep them warm.) A number of her landscapes dot the walls of her granny-suite back in Vancouver. But she hadn't painted in a long time. She hadn't even set foot in a museum in years.
The big showpiece exhibit was a Roy Lichtenstein retrospective: walls and walls of those one-panel cartoons, which left her cool. We skipped contemporary art altogether, moving briskly through ancient Eastern art, and modern sculpture. Even the art I felt sure would appeal to her — heroic religious paintings, folk art, the Renaissance masters – didn't, particularly.
Then we hit the Impressionists. And here, in the Monet room, Olga came alive.
Monet invented "series" landscape art – the same subject captured over and over, on different days, in different seasons. In his river scenes, and in the famous water lilies in his backyard pond in Giverny, you can sense the furious intensity with which Monet tried to bag this moment, and then the next, and then the next. The master trying to catch time even as it slips through his paint-stained fingers.
On the back wall were several of Monet's wheatstacks. Olga stood transfixed before them. What was so arresting her? The glorious pastel colours of the changing sky?
Partly. The part of her brain beyond words was soaking this up; and her eyes actually flashed a bit of annoyance when I kept yakking, breaking the spell. But at the same time she was working something out. It was the … architecture of that pile of wheat.
She herself had stacked wheat, back in the day, on the Saskatchewan farm. And as she gazed at the paintings it all came flooding back: how the "binding" machine would leave a row of grain sheaves as thick as barrels; and how she'd carry one under each arm. She'd stack them upright against each other, on end. The idea was to made a little cone of them, like firewood, no more than six to eight to a bundle, and leave them like that to dry so they'd be ready for the thresher. And back then you knew they would dry. The weather was more regular then. Global warming, Olga mused, has messed with a lot of things you used to be able to count on.
But Olga's wheatstacks never looked like these. "How is that possible?" she mused. "How are they holding together?"
"Maybe it's not accurate," I tried. By this stage of his career Monet, after all, had terrible vision; his world was clouded by cataracts. "Maybe he was seeing what he wanted to see."
Olga nodded." These look like muffins," she said.
Here's what is tonic about spending the day with Olga. There is zero guile. There's never any attempt to appear better, or other, than she actually is. It's refreshing to spend days with someone who is not subtly trying to score status points. The arms race of cool is not part of her world.
No one has yet tested how well "comfort in our own skin" correlates with longevity. But it probably does, if we can figure out how to measure it.

What do you do when the going gets tough with your trading? Do you give up, or do you keep going? Let's talk about that and more right now.
Hi, Forex Traders, Andrew Mitchem here, The Forex Trading Coach. This is video and podcast number 224. I want to talk to about what do you do as a person and as a Forex trader when the going gets tough?
Because it's very easy to just throw everything out and go, "It's not working." Blame the broker. Blame the system. Blame everything when things go tough.
I'll give you an example, just this week I've had quite an average week with my own personal trading through Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It was like "Oh" … I'm fine, I've been trading like 12 years, but I can see people go that stage, "This is not working" or "Do I start to tweak something." "Do I change my method." "Do I add something." "Do I give up." What do I do? It wasn't really bad it was just not a great start to the week.
Then, yesterday being Thursday, I had a tremendous day. Great profitable trades and it's made up for all those losses. Got me back to breakeven for the week and now into profit. Right now as I'm talking to you, we're on Friday, and I'm over one and a half percent gained for the week. It's gone from being a really pretty bad week through to a very good week.
The reason it's done that is because I've stuck to my plan. I've stuck to my strategy. I haven't given up. I haven't thrown my toys out of the cot and gone "Oh, it doesn't work." The problem is that so many people especially the newer traders do that too quickly.
You have to try and avoid doing that. You've got to control your emotions. Sure no one likes to have losing trades and losing periods of time, but everybody does. You need to be able to accept that and take it and continue because when you've have good periods, as I did yesterday. Yes it's nice to celebrate that and go "Oh wow, didn't I do well." But it's also about not getting that go to your head either and then doing stupid things on the next few days which go and blow all the good work. It's really important to have that balance.
Another example is a client of mine called Xavier who lives over in America. He posted a message on my forum site for clients, and he said, "Over the last 30 days, he's taken 120 trades in total." Which is quite a number of trades but he is a very active Forex Trader. 89 of those trades have lost, and 31 of those trades have been profitable. You could look at that and go "That's not particularly high ratio." A lot of people would say with those 89 losses they might have got fed up or stopped trading. But Xavier has said his up 14 and a half percent account gain, low risk, per trade, but it made 14 and a half percent on the last 30 days of trading. So it's tremendous account gain. You think about that 14 and a half percent in 30 days. You can't get that at too many banks or other ways of investing around the world, but Xavier's done that.
He made a great point here he said, "That you have to trade your system, not your account size." He said, "It's all about trading the system, sticking to the system." And what he's done with that high number of losses is he's controlled his risk, and his kept his loses very small. A number of those trades would be like breakeven trades or small losses, things like that. When he's had profitable trades, and the markets moved in the direction of the trade that he's looking for, he's had very high gains.
Once again 14 and a half percent in 30 days of trading. You've got to seriously look at that and go "Wow, this is some excellent trading going on here." But as I said with the topic of it on podcast, when the trading gets tough, what do you do?
Xavier keeps going because he knows the strategy that I've taught works. It's worked for him, and it continues to work. It's an important point there.
On the charts today, we've got the US non-fund employment change data, and at the weekend we've got the second round of the French election. Just be really careful when you see these big news announcements. You've noticed from a few weeks ago with the first round of that French election, huge gaps on a Monday morning, especially on the Europairs. We're likely to see that again this Monday coming. Of course, it could depend on the outcome of the results, but likely to see big movements, big gaps. Just be really careful when you see that.
The other thing that I'll quickly let you know is that I'm sure you know already, is that Monday and Tuesday of next week. It will be 8th May if you're in America and Europe it's when it starts your time, but the 9th of May which is also my own birthday and its also the eight birthday of the Forex Training Coach. I've got an annual sale, great way of joining us and getting results like Xavier. At a drastically reduced fee. Now the Forex Trading Coach is eight years old next week. It's something I'm immensely proud of. I've taught and helped thousands and thousands of Forex traders all around the world. When I look back and look at the companies whether they be signal services, educators, brokers, whatever they maybe, from 8 years ago, not too many of us are still growing today. I'm really proud of that fact that it's helping people of what I do.
It's just creating a global community of Forex traders who are just making excellent gains from their trading. If you would like to be part of that jump onto that sale straight away next week. I'm also looking forward to the next eight years again. It's been a great first eight years, but we're looking forward to another eight years plus more of helping other traders around the world and just growing this fantastic group of Forex traders.
Once again this is Andrew Mitchem, The Forex Trading Coach. Have a great weekend. Be careful of those gaps on Monday, which are likely to occur, and I'll see you this time next week.
Thanks again, I'll see you this time next week.

Discover Why Delivering Exceptional Customer Service is All in the Details. Disney Institute shares the operational practices used to serve Guests at our parks and resorts for over 60 years. We know that excellent service does not simply come from a friendly smile or easy transaction. It results from truly understanding the customer's needs and putting the right guidelines and customer service standards in place, so we can exceed their expectations.
The gradual decline of customer service over the years has created a big opportunity for businesses to provide service that is beyond customer expectations. Even better, make an emotional connection with your customers that can lead to brand loyalty. But first, your service framework must be designed and cultivated. In this course, you'll learn how to think differently and act intentionally—examining the customer experience, identifying service pitfalls and dispelling misconceptions that are all key to establishing quality customer service.
Service occurs every time a customer interacts with your organization. We call them touch points. Designing a successful service strategy hinges on understanding what you want to do for your customers, what your customers expect and the business impact of these actions. Through class activities and experiences in the field, you'll recognize the critical importance of service standards. And with this knowledge, you can drive the discussion within your organization to create your own strategies for quality service.
Outstanding service is not limited to the employees delivering the service. It's as important to understand how the physical space and the organization's standards and processes affect the entire experience—not to mention how the service is actually perceived by customers. After this course, you'll understand how your people, place and processes intersect—and how they're all essential to the consistent delivery of exemplary service.
All businesses occasionally encounter customer service failures. While it is always the goal to meet our customers' expectations, at times this may not happen. And the importance of recovering a relationship with a customer after a service failure is absolutely critical at Disney. You'll learn how to actively listen to your customers and what you can do to proactively prevent future failures in customer service.
Disney insights and illustrations are beneficial to any leader or employee interested in learning how to improve the customer experience and raise the standards of quality service in their organization.

Q: Regarding delay signing? i got question about delay signing. the definition of delay signing is : --
Delay signing allows you to place a shared assembly in the GAC by signing the assembly with just the public key. This allows the assembly to be signed with the private key at a later stage, when the development process is complete and the component or assembly is ready to be deployed. This process enables developers to work with shared assemblies as if they were strongly named, and it secures the private key of the signature from being accessed at differen
from here few things is not clear to me.
1) how to signed assembly with the private key at a later stage after signing with public key and placed in GAC.
2) why people sign any assembly with private key.
3) This process enables developers to work with shared assemblies as if they were strongly named, and it secures the private key of the signature from being accessed at differen
what does it mean? "it secures the private key of the signature from being accessed at differen"
please discuss. thanks

A: The private key should be kept in a secure place so it can never be used by a 3rd party to sign an assembly.  That's a big deal for big companies like Microsoft and others.  Having access to the private key for Silverlight would allow you to run insecure code in any browser for example.  Accordingly, that key is stored in a highly secure location, out of reach of but a few select trusted employees.
Delayed signing allows the developers to get their job done.  The assembly is signed before it leaves the building with the -R option of sn.exe

A: It's quite simple. Delay signing allows working with pseudo-signed libraries in large development groups.
And only a small number of persons needs access to the real (complete) key for signing the Release builds.

MY INTEGRATEGPJS Staff Interviews
Sharing issues with researchers
overseas, with investigation into
Japanese Buddhist art as a base.
Graduate School/Faculty of Arts and Letters
Tohoku University, Professor
NAGAOKA Ryusaku
Using art to uncover the meaning of religion for humanity.
My specialty is the History of Eastern and Japanese Buddhist Art. I am interested in both art and religion, and I believe art is extremely effective in giving us insights into religion. Within the Art History field, there are researchers who study Buddhist statues merely as sculptures (art), however, this does not take into account the religious significance. Form is created in accordance with meaning. My basic stance is to bring to light the inherent meaning of Buddhist statues through my research.
The first specific theme is "the role of art in religion". In Buddhism, there is a belief in "this world" and the "other world", and the issue of whether we will gain salvation in this world or the other. For people living today, perhaps the idea of salvation in the other world does not seem real, however, almost all the people who created religions believed in the afterlife. I believe that art plays the role of making this invisible afterlife visible, and offers guidance on how to reach this unseen afterlife. Through the visual medium of Buddhist art, I want to reveal the Buddhist views of salvation and the other world, and further understand the devotion that led people to continue to create Buddhist art.
The second theme is "Buddhist thought which appears in art". Compared with Japan's native religion of Shintoism, Buddhist thought is much more profound and elaborate. The world view of Buddhism has a deep influence on the way in which Japanese people think about things. As Buddhism spread to different areas, it encountered regional traditions, customs and visual representations. Thus, local elements can be found in Buddhist items. In China, traditional Chinese visual representation syncretized with Buddhist expression. As such, Japan accepted Buddhist expression which had already been fused with Chinese elements. Discovering where the visual representation of Japanese Buddhist art originated, and what meaning it holds, is my second area of interest.
When considering Buddhist art, in particular, I turn my attention to the concept of space. I analyze the interior of Buddhist statues, that is, the items contained within, and the exterior (temples and halls). Furthermore, I research the containers used to hold sacred items, such as Buddha's ashes. In order to do so, I conduct investigations in India, Sri Lanka and other Southeast Asian countries.
Aiming to connect Japanese Buddhist art research results with European Christian research
Interest in my research themes can be applied directly in other regions. We should be able to extract universal themes and methods from research of pre-medieval Japanese Buddhist art. In the International Graduate Program in Japanese Studies, in addition to "Japanese Studies as regional research", which is the conventional type of interest, I place particular importance on "Japanese Studies as viewpoint and methodology", and continue my research accordingly.
Specifically, I believe I can connect my interest with research into Christianity in Europe, and identify with issues in that field. I wish to conduct joint research on the common themes of "salvation and art" and "sacred places and art". Also, there is the possibility that my interest in Japanese Buddhist statues, which hold sacred objects containing a clear religious perspective, has similarities with the research into religious relics in Christian areas. I want to consider common issues in this direction by viewing art as something which is sacred, and not merely depiction.
In the International Graduate Program in Japanese Studies, we conduct further education through collaboration with many universities which are mainly in Europe. Art History, which can be expanded into the term Global Art History, is rooted in problem awareness which goes beyond confluent relation and regionalism. Thus, I think it is possible to move beyond Japan, and connect with other areas of research, particularly Christian art research in Europe, and share issues.
Aiming to create a place to share problem awareness, methods and skills with students from around the world.
In research in the academic discipline of Art History, the handling of objects is an assumed skill. Examining the similarities and differences between the characteristics of Japanese Buddhist statues and religious statues from other regions is an area of deep interest.
From the standpoint of researching pre-medieval religious art, I want people to consider how the problems found in this field have continuity with later eras, and issues in other cultural areas, and I want it to be understood that these problems are not the products of a culture which is alien to oneself. That is to say, we can expect to explore how the invisible entities of God and Buddha have been represented, together with students from Christian areas, and the issues that arise from a common cultural base, with students from Asian countries.
Art does not exist independently in itself. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate by returning to the "place of art". I want students who are studying Japanese art to experience the place where the art lived, and by doing so, understand that art existed together with people's activities.
In the International Graduate Program in Japanese Studies, we conduct research in the following three courses: Symbolics, Capital and Empathy. The representative function makes the invisible visible. In particular, regarding religious art, it is a universal construction, and learning the basic methodology about such an issue becomes the base for later research. My hope for the International Graduate Program in Japanese Studies is that it becomes a place for students from a range of regions to share problem awareness, methods and skills.
Understanding what art is for humans through historical analysis.
Overseas, particularly in the United States, research into Japanese Buddhist art is being conducted. Europe has the tradition of Japonisme research, centered on woodblock printing. However, interest in Buddhist art is directed toward this root, and interest in research into Japanese Buddhist art is not high. In China, in recent years, interest in the relationship between Buddhist thought and art has been increasing, however, Buddhism research is conducted as part of the field of Archaeology. In the case of China, Buddhist statues as sculptures have been lost, and many statues that remain are in stone caves. As such, Buddhist research there is led by the archaeological field. On the other hand, in Japan, many Buddhist sculptures remain, to the extent that Japan itself is said to be a museum.
Since the 6th century, art has been created independently in Japan. This in itself is proof of how humans came to need art. In the 8th century, together with the whole country, Emperor Shomu constructed the Great Buddha statue in Nara. I view this as not a mere political product, but as a legacy of belief. A Buddhist statue is primarily a visual art, however, the material from which it is made (bronze, earth, lacquer, wood) is also extremely significant. Analyzing historically the elements of which art is made is the foundation through which we understand what art is for humans. This work is necessary in contemporary society, in which the image has great power, and also has significance in the study of Art History.

Infrastructure woes persist after deadly Nepal quake
KATHMANDU: Runway damage forced Nepalese authorities to close the main airport Sunday to large aircraft delivering aid to millions of people following the massive earthquake, but U.N. officials said the overall logistics situation was improving.
The death toll climbed to at least 7,040, including 51 found over the weekend on a popular trekking route, said government administrator Gautam Rimal. But that number is expected to continue to grow with scores still missing from a single village hit by an avalanche. Nepal's Tourist Police reported that a total of 57 foreigners have been killed in the April 25 quake, and 109 are still missing.
The main runway was temporarily closed to big planes because of damage. It was built to handle medium-size jetliners, but not the large military and cargo planes that have been flying in aid supplies, food, medicines and rescue and humanitarian workers, said Birendra Shrestha, the manager of Tribhuwan International Airport, located on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
There have been reports of cracks on the runway and other problems at the only airport capable of handling jetliners.
"You've got one runway, and you've got limited handling facilities, and you've got the ongoing commercial flights," said Jamie McGoldrick, the U.N. coordinator for Nepal.
"You put on top of that massive relief items coming in, the search and rescue teams that has clogged up this airport. And I think once they put better systems in place, I think that will get better."
He said the bottlenecks in aid delivery were slowly disappearing and that the Nepalese government eased customs and other bureaucratic hurdles on humanitarian aid following complaints from the U.N.
Airport congestion was only the latest complication in the global effort to aid people in the wake of the April 25 quake, the impoverished country's biggest and most destructive in eight decades. Nepal's geography of high mountains and difficult road networks "is always going to be a challenge," McGoldrick said. Airlifting goods by helicopter "right now is quite limited," he said.
People in Nepal — both in remote villages and the capital, Kathmandu — have complained about not seeing any rescue workers or international aid and about a lack of temporary shelters, with many sleeping out in the open because of fears of aftershocks bringing down their damaged homes.
U.N. humanitarian officials said that they were increasingly worried about the spread of disease. They said more helicopters were needed to reach isolated mountain villages that were hard to access even before the quake.
The true extent of the damage from the earthquake is still unknown as reports keep filtering in from remote areas, some of which remain entirely cut off. The U.N. says the quake affected 8.1 million people — more than a quarter of Nepal's 28 million people.
Laxi Dhakal, a Home Ministry official, said hopes of finding survivors had faded dramatically. "Unless they were caught in an air pocket, there is not much possibility," he said.
But that's what happened Sunday. Three people were pulled alive from the rubble of their home eight days after Nepal's devastating earthquake.
The small-scale rescue, announced on Sunday by a home ministry official, brought fresh hope to a badly hit district northeast of the capital Kathmandu, but about 50 bodies were also discovered on a northern trekking route obliterated by an avalanche that the April 25 quake triggered.
That same avalanche also swept away an entire village, and scores are still missing, officials said.
The village of Langtang in the northern district of Rasuwa was on a popular trekking route and had 55 guesthouses. It was not clear how many people were there at the time of the avalanche.
At least 200 villagers and trekkers were still missing in Langtang, said Uddhav Bhattarai, the district's senior bureaucrat. "We had not been able to reach the area earlier because of rains and cloudy weather," he said by telephone.
Ganga Sagar Pant, the head of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal, said the avalanche had completely wiped out the village.
"All that is left is scattered belongings like bags and coats, all the houses have been thrown down the mountain," he said. "There is nothing left. I don't think anyone can survive that." (Wire services)

Star AC Milan keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma continues to be linked to various European giants as the January mercato looms.
17 year old Gianluigi Donnarumma has been a leading light for the Rossoneri, often putting in commanding performances that have lead the club to victory on numerous occasions. Additionally the player possesses plenty of maturity for his age, and has been hailed as Gianluigi Buffon's true heir.
As such, Donnarumma's performances as well as future potential has seen the player linked to clubs from both England and Spain. According to the Daily Express, Manchester City, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona are the clubs said to be keeping tabs on the keeper.
Pep Guardiola has been unconvinced of Claudio Bravo, as the the former Barcelona player has made mistakes that which have led to the club losing vital points both domestically and in Europe. Chelsea, on the other hand, are eyeing Donnarumma as a contingency in case current incumbent Thibaut Courtois decides to depart Stamford Bridge.
Barcelona and Real Madrid are waiting in the wings eyeing any developments in the players contract situation. Milan are keen to tie down their brilliant youngster to a long term contract, but must deal with his agent Mino Raiola who's intentions are unknown.
The Daily Express further indicates that if Manchester City do attempt to acquire the Class of 99′ youngster, then the Rossoneri would request Joe Hart who has had a decent season so far with Torino.

For nearly 20 years, the Natchez-Adams County Port, the industrial base of the area, bled jobs. In 2003 alone, nearly 600 workers were displaced when International Paper shuttered its mill after more than 50 years in operation.
In total, the port lost 1,500-1,800 jobs over that time frame, and while tourism remains the area's number one industry, the city and county fully felt the impact of the loss of jobs and tax revenue.
However, the port is showing signs of recovery. Over the last 24 months, area officials have made seven major announcements of new tenants or expansions/infrastructure improvements, including arguably its most ambitious effort — the purchase of the the former IP site.
After some 20 years of manufacturing job losses, the Natchez-Adams County Port is humming with new and expansion projects, with perhaps the biggest news being the recent purchase of the former IP/Rentech site.
In terms of jobs, the projects are expected to create 1,000 new jobs, and 210 of those jobs have been realize to dated.
"We have had some success, but we still have a long way to go to replace all those jobs we lost," he said.
The port's rebirth is evident immediately by the new port connector road. Begun in 2011, the nearly $4-million road cut some two miles off the existing route and was a key selling point in landing Elevance Renewable Sciences.
In June 2011, Elevance acquired the Delta BioFuels facility with plans to convert it into a biorefinery and derivatives operation. The total capital investment is $225 million, and 30 of the projected 165 new jobs have been filled.
Crews are currently working on the port's new liquid loading dock. A $4-million structure, it got underway in January and is scheduled to be completed before the end of the year.
There is also major railroad construction underway. In May, Genesis Energy announced plans to more than double its railcar capacity at its port terminal while the company was still in phase one of a previously announced expansion. Work is continuing on a second rail spur that will allow two-way rail traffic as well as steaming racks that will heat chemicals to allow for loading and unloading of the railcars.
Between the liquid loading dock and railroad projects, work is almost complete on a new frac sand transmodal facility. The $37-million project is 95 percent complete.
Another expansion is underway at Enersteel, a manufacturer of tanks and vessels. This marks the second expansion of Enersteel's facility at the Natchez-Adams County Port in as many years.
The latest coup for the port was finding a new tenant for the former Mississippi River Pulp (formerly Mississippi River Corporation). Late last year, the company announced it would cease operations and leave nearly 80 workers jobless. Quickly posting the vacancy, the building became the center of a bidding war between prospective companies. The winner was von Drehle Corporation, a North Carolina-based, privately held paper products manufacturer.
von Drehle is investing $100 million in the facility, and has hired approximately 30 workers let go by Mississippi River Pulp. It expects to eventually have 100 employees on the payroll.
The land for the proposed $400-million KiOR biofuel plant has been cleared and engineering work is underway. However, the company said last month it needs data from its new refinery in Columbus before it can start to raise funding for the Natchez site.
The site will require a ring levee as it was inundated during the historic flood of 2011.
"If (KiOR) doesn't come, it just means we have more work to do," Russ said matter of faculty.
The biggest and newest project underway involves the old IP site. Closed in 2003, it was purchased by the alternative fuels company Rentech in 2007. But the company could not get the massive, 478-acre site up and running.
Earlier this month, Adams County purchased the property for $9.25 million.
"It is the best big site on the entire river. I firmly believe that," Russ said.
The site includes nine water wells, 17.5 miles of natural gas lines and a wastewater facility with a capacity to process 40 million gallons per day and numerous other buildings and assets.
"To put the wastewater facility's capacity in perspective, the facility can handle eight times more wastewater than the city of Natchez's facility. That facility alone could cost $70 million to build, and it's already here," Russ said.
The railroad has claimed a piece of the property for proposed new infrastructure. After it decides what it wants, Natchez Inc. plans to conduct a master plan, develop a name and logo and begin marketing the site within approximately 90 days.
