This paper accounts for Priberam's participation in the monolingual question answering (QA) track of CLEF 2007. In previous participations, Priberam's QA system obtained encouraging results both in monolingual and cross-language tasks. This year we endowed the system with syntactical processing, in order to capture the syntactic structure of the question. The main goal was to obtain a more tuned question categorisation and consequently a more precise answer extraction. Besides this, we provided our system with the ability to handle topic-related questions and to use encyclopaedic sources like Wikipedia. The paper provides a description of the improvements made in the system, followed by the discussion of the results obtained in Portuguese and Spanish monolingual runs.

Festivals Bhutan
Come November, and the skies over Gangtey take on a different hue. The locals run out of their homes as the skies darken with the arrival of flocks of Black Necked Cranes, as they swoop down into the valley to roost for the winter.
With an enormous wing span, black necks, and red crowns, the sight of these birds flying into Probjikha valley in Central Bhutan, is simply breathtaking.
For the Bhutanese, the bird is a sacred symbol of longevity.
To herald their arrival, the locals of the Gangtey Goemba, put on a spectacular display.
Folk dance, music and pantomime creates a lively display, which highlights important issues such as environmental awareness and nature conservation. The Black-necked Crane Festival began in the late 90s, to celebrate the spirit of these sacred birds as they fly into Bhutan from their summer home in the Tibetan plateau. It gives the locals a reason to celebrate their natural heritage, and show off their culture with elaborate masked dance and song.
It's also an innovative way to attract visitors from across the world, to learn more about this sacred bird while supporting the community that gives it a safe home for the winter.
Bhutan is extremely proactive when it comes to wildlife conservation.
For example, the Royal Society for Protection of Nature was successful in making the government instal an underground power grid, to ensure that the birds did not become victims to overhead power lines. Bhutan has also kickstarted several community development initiatives to not only preserve, but also enhance, wetland habitat to encourage the cranes and other waterfowl.
What we love most about this festival is the perfect balance of nature and culture.
The sustainable development cycle that has evolved out of it, is in perfect keeping with the Bhutanese concept of Gross National Happiness, which emphasises harmony between the material and non-material aspects of one's wellbeing.

Minnesota Twins have record setting year
Brandon Prichard, Contributor|November 1, 2019
Minnesota_Twins_Insignia
In March 2018, the Minnesota Twins didn't have much to prove. Besides making deals with veteran power-hitters Nelson Cruz and CJ Cron, the Twins seemed like a team with potential that had no chance at capitalizing on it. With Rocco Baldelli in his first year as Minnesota's manager, no one was certain what the Twins would look like in regular-season play. But Baldelli wasn't hired to watch the Twins fall short of a playoff appearance. His goal was to pick up where the Twins left off at the end of the 2017 regular season when they made the AL Wild Card game.
The Twins certainly had an uphill battle. The Cleveland Indians were coming off a season where they posted an impressive 91-71 record and a Division Championship. The Indians were on track to have another impressive year and forecast to win the division for the fourth year in a row. But early in the season, everyone turned their eyes to the Minnesota Twins.
Led by the young talent of Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler, Eddie Rosario as well as veteran Nelson Cruz, the Twins entered the All-Star break with a 56-33 record. Shortstop Jorge Polanco and pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Jose Berrios were selected to play in the 2019 All-Star game. CJ Cron, Eddie Rosario, and Nelson Cruz also finished as top players in their respected positions.
Led by the young talent of Jorge Polanco, Max Kepler, Eddie Rosario as well as veteran Nelson Cruz, the Twins entered the All-Star break with a 56-33 record."
But Minnesota's best days were yet to come. Despite a slow start after the All-Star break and a powerful Cleveland team taking the lead for less than a week, the Twins pushed forward obtaining a 101-61 record at the end of the regular season. The Twins record would fall one game shy of a franchise record. However, the biggest achievement of Minnesota's 2019 campaign was their impressive 307 total home runs. This crushed the New York Yankees 267 homerun record from just a year before. The Dodgers, Astros, and Yankees would also break the previous record, but fall short of the Twins 307 mark.
Despite an upsetting sweep by the Yankees in the ALDS, there are many positives for Twins fans going forward. First, let's start with the outfield. Max Kepler and Eddie Rosario both had outstanding years. Both Kepler and Rosario hit over 30 home runs and batted in 90 runs. But arguably the biggest improvement came from centerfielder Byron Buxton. Despite a season-ending injury after the All-Star break, Buxton proved that he can be an everyday player who hits for average and occasional power. Buxton's speed and defensive ability were never in question. However, his 2019 season proved he can be disciplined and make veteran decisions at the plate.
The infield also showed major improvements. Miguel Sano showed that injuries would not hold his power back. Sano would finish with 34 home runs and 79 RBIs. Minnesota's newly acquired first baseman CJ Cron also proved he can be a leader and a consistent player in the Twins lineup. Cron had big shoes to fill as he took over for fan-favorite Joe Mauer. But Cron adapted nicely into Baldelli's scheme. At shortstop, All-Star Jorge Polanco put up an all-around impressive year. Polanco would finish with a .295 batting average, 22 home runs, and 79 RBIs. Polanco also proved he can be a leader in the Twins dugout. His plate appearances also demonstrated that he is a top batter at his position.
In the offseason, the Twins also made a deal with the second baseman Jonathan Schoop. Like Cron, Schoop had big shoes to fill as he was taking over for Brian Dozier. Schoop put together a productive year as he hit .256 and 23 home runs. However, one of the biggest surprises for the Twins was second baseman Luis Arraez's ascent to major league baseball. The 22-year-old would end up batting an outstanding .334. Arraez also showed he has the ability to be an everyday starter at second base. The Twins also found a productive use for Marwin Gonzalez, Ehire Adrianza, and Willians Astudillo. Gonzalez, Adrianza, and Astudillo would show their ability to play multiple positions while maintaining professional at-bats.
Behind the plate, Mitch Garver became one of the Twin's best players. Garver broke Minnesota's single-season record for home runs from a catch with 31. Mitch Garver also demonstrated the importance of a smart, dedicated catcher. Garver's work ethic helped the Twins pitching staff get out of jams throughout the year. Jason Castro also showed his defensive ability multiple times during the season. Together, Garver and Castro made a dynamic duo behind home plate.
Probably the best part of the Twins campaign was the addition of designated hitter Nelson Cruz. Cruz was the biggest leader in the clubhouse and inspired younger players to take every pitch like it was their last. His approach as well as his .311 batting average, 41 home runs, and 108 RBIs proved to be vital in the Twins campaign.
The Twins pitching staff also showed improvement. Despite a poor performance in the playoffs, the Twins bullpen was one of the best in the MLB during August and September. Tyler Duffy, Trevor May, and Zack Littell were outstanding during the regular season. The addition of Sergio Romo was also a win for the Twins. As for the starters, Jose Berrios and Jake Odorizzi put up promising numbers. Both Berrios and Odorizzi finished with ERAs in the 3.60 range. Despite an unfortunate suspension, Michael Pineda put up good numbers, especially late in the season.
Going into the 2019-2020 offseason, the Twins have many questions to answer. Most notably, can they maintain their solid record? And can they find an ace who will deliver consistent wins for the team? Despite all the criticism going into the year, Minnesota showed they are a team that will win games with style and power. There is little reason to suspect 2020 will be any different.

In which Dan Diamond dismantles the "60 Minutes" attack on Obamacare in 1,500 words
Last night, "60 Minutes" had a segment about Steven Brill's new book, "Bitter Pill", which is an attempt to tell the comprehensive story of how the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was created.
I don't know much about Brill other than that he did write a compelling account of the technical problems at HealthCare.gov (along with the successful "Apollo 13-style" effort to repair the site) for Time Magazine last fall. Obviously he's a talented writer and he's done a bunch of research. This post isn't about his book itself, which may or may not be brilliant & dead-on target...I haven't read it, so I'm in no position to judge.
However, the 60 Minutes segement itself was a bit, shall we say, lacking. You may or may not be able to actually watch the segment at the link--it isn't available as I type this--but the full transcript is included. Those in the know should pay attention to not just what is said and how it's presented, but also what isn't discussed. Yes, it's a 13-minute TV segment, not an in-depth analysis, but there are still some gaping holes and questions which are never answered or even brought up.
Fortunately, Dan Diamond has already written an excellent list of a half-dozen points on which the 60 Minutes segment falls on it's face:
60 Minutes on Sunday ran an eye-raising exposé of the health law's many shortcomings — or as correspondent Lesley Stahl called the segment, "What Obamacare Doesn't Do."
Unfortunately, when it came to telling a complete story about the Affordable Care Act, there was a lot that 60 Minutes itself didn't do.
That's too bad, because the incredibly popular and venerable newsmagazine is a force for steering national conversation. And 60 Minutes acknowledged that the ACA has accomplished some good, like help 10 million uninsured Americans get access to care.
Here were six of my biggest sticking points with 60 Minutes — and an argument for how they could've presented them instead.
I strongly recommend reading Diamond's whole piece.
In addition to the points he raises, here's a couple of additional ones which were raised by others in a quick Twitter discussion last night:
From Adrianna McIntyre of Vox.com:
Here's the clip of Brill on 60 Minutes: http://t.co/tz24FnASdx Parts of the discussion feel limited to the point of being unhelpful.
— Adrianna McIntyre (@onceuponA) January 12, 2015
e.g., what's happening with the slowdown, what the differences are between for- and not-for-profit hospitals—important, nuanced issues!
Dan Goldberg of Capital New York:
@onceuponA and did that guy HAVE to go to ms Anderson or just want to ? Would cheaper in network option have produced same outcome?
— Dan Goldberg (@DanGoldbergCNY) January 12, 2015
And, if I may be so bold, from...myself:
@DanGoldbergCNY @afrakt @ddiamond will do. Also noted zero mention of the 80/20 med loss ratio, which seems worth at least a nod...
— Charles Gaba (@charles_gaba) January 12, 2015
Goldberg's point is the one which bothers me the most. In TV segments like this, the "Human Face" factor--interviewing "case study", "normal, everyday folks" can be far more compelling than throwing a bunch of numbers and statistics around. That's why when the Koch Bros attacked the ACA in a series of TV commercials last spring, they used "normal people" with "real life" horror stories about how Obamacare was "destroying their lives" bla bla bla.
Of course, pretty much all of those ads turned out to be a big ol' tub of malarkey, as Joe Biden might put it. In some cases the ads used actors. In other cases, the medical situations of the people featured may have been absolutely accurate...but they flat-out lie about how much their new policy is costing them (in the infamous Boonstra case, she's actually saving $1,200/year under her new plan).
This wasn't limited to "official" Koch Bros ads, of course; in the GOP's response to the State of the Union address last year, Republican Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers used the case of "Bette in Spokane" Washington, who supposedly is paying $700 more per month because of the ACA. In that case, it turned out that the woman in question didn't even have true health insurance coverage to begin with and never even bothered visiting the website to see what options--and tax credits--were available.
It's important to stress that I am not attacking the Recchis' story on 60 Minutes, and it's entirely possible that the MD Anderson cancer center was the only reasonable option for his cancer situation. However, as Goldberg notes, the 60 Minutes segment never even asks the obvious question: Did they bother to check with other cancer centers to see what their options were? Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but 60 Minutes never even asked. Here's the relevant section from the transcript (remember, this was before the ACA):
Sean Recchi: I just want to get healthy and that's what I told 'em.
Their story begins in 2012 when Sean Recchi - then 42, father of two - was diagnosed with cancer, stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Sean Recchi: I have two young children. You know, I wanna see 'em get married. I wanna see my grandchildren. You know. Too early.
Stephanie was determined to get him to MD Anderson in Houston, one of the premier non-profit cancer centers in the country. But because their health insurance policy was so limited, they had to pay upfront: first $48,900 for the evaluation...then more for the actual treatment.
Stephanie Recchi: And they told me that we would have to give them another $35,000 to get him, to get chemo.
Lesley Stahl: Did you have the money?
Stephanie Recchi: I didn't. My mother did.
Lesley Stahl: Your mother had to give you the money?
Stephanie Recchi: Yes. I just kept thinking in the back of my mind, there's a mistake and we'll work it out. I just have to get him there and I have to get him better. That was my main concern.
When Sean was sick, they felt vulnerable and scared. Like most people in that kind of crisis, they never once asked what any specific item or test cost. When they got the bill, they gave it to Steven Brill, who found charges he couldn't believe.
Again, as Goldberg notes, why did it have to be MD Anderson? Was there a particular doctor there who they trusted? Was the particular chemo treatment he needed only available there? The family is from Ohio, but the center is in Houston, so I assume it wasn't a case of geographic limitations.
And yes, it's true that most people in a medical crisis tend not to think too rationally about financial decisions. On the other hand, as Goldberg noted later on:
@charles_gaba hard to know w/o medical chart. Also 60 min/brill said in times of crisis and panic we don't make good choices. 1/2
@charles_gaba but this man wasn't having a heart attack or stroke. They chose best hospital and were told in advance the costs. 2/2
Once again: I am not ripping on the Recchis here. They may have had perfectly good reasons to insist on this particular medical center vs. a different one.
My beef is with 60 Minutes for never even asking the basic questions I asked above (or, if they did ask, never bothering to address the questions or answers in the segment).
Anyway, read Diamond's piece.
UPDATE: OK, until now I wasn't sure whether it was fair to characterize the 60 Minutes piece as an "attack" on the ACA or not; it could just be sloppy work or poor editing or something.
However, thanks to Michael Hitzik for pointing out this piece by Steve Benen of MSNBC from last January...regarding the exact same couple:
.@DanGoldbergCNY @onceuponA isn't this the same family that called the ACA a "godsend"? Was that in 60 minutes? http://t.co/ARxIifOiP0
— Michael Hiltzik (@hiltzikm) January 12, 2015
Sure enough, check this out:
Sean Recchi, a small-business owner in Lancaster, Ohio, was diagnosed with cancer in 2012. The business he and his wife ran wasn't making a lot money; the family was forced to borrow heavily; and officials at the cancer center where he sought treatment said his insurance was effectively worthless.
Despite these horrific circumstances, Sean's wife, Stephanie Recchi, told Time's Steven Brill last fall, "I don't think Obamacare will help us. I don't want anything to do with it." She added, "I hear a lot of bad things about it – that it doesn't cover pre-existing conditions and it's too expensive." Why did she believe this? Recchi said she'd seen "television ads and some politicians talking on the news."
Here's a family facing a terrible ordeal, through no fault of their own, and clearly in need a hand. But they'd been misled by charlatans and cranks, feeding on public confusion, and leaving the Recchi family with a mistaken impression of reality.
That was a few months ago. Brill published a follow-up report this week, noting that "what has happened to the Recchis and their health care options more recently might be emblematic of the law's potential" (via Joan McCarter).
"When they came to my office, Stephanie told me right up front, 'I don't want any part of Obamacare,' " recalls health-insurance agent Barry Cohen. "These were clearly people who don't like the President. So I kind of let that slide and just asked them for basic information and told them we would go on the Ohio exchange" – which is actually the Ohio section of the federal Obamacare exchange – "and show them what's available."
What Stephanie soon discovered, she told me in mid-November, "was a godsend." The business that she and her husband had launched … had recently received investor interest after being featured on an episode of the television series CSI. So she estimated to Cohen that their income would be about $90,000 in 2014. But even at that level, her family of four would qualify for a subsidy under Obamacare.
Yeah. I'd say "attack" or "hit piece" is about right.
True, the point of the 60 Minutes piece was that the actual cost of treatment continues to skyrocket, even if the patients themselves are no longer going bankrupt from having to pay that cost. And yes, they do note that Mr. Recchi is now cured, has good insurance and will never again face the prospect of bankruptcy due to medical bills:
Sean Recchi: I am 100 percent cancer clean, and feel great.
Even though he's $84,000 in the hole. Today - despite Sean's preexisting condition, the Recchis have good health insurance, because in 2013 they signed up for Obamacare. So now they have total coverage, 100 percent subsidized by taxpayers.
However, even there the angle is presented as if the Recchis are somehow "scamming" taxpayers--not to mention making it sound as though they aren't "taxpayers" themselves.
As a side note, there's this rather confusing exchange:
Lesley Stahl: So Obamacare has passed. MD Anderson goes to give someone Rituxan, are they still charging $13,700?
Steven Brill: They probably are if you don't have insurance.
If you do have insurance - through Obamacare or otherwise, prices would in most cases, be negotiated down. What about the Recchis' $84,000 bill at MD Anderson in Houston? It would most likely not be negotiated down because they signed up for Medicaid under Obamacare in Ohio, which is not recognized in Texas.
Wait a minute: According to Benen's piece:
The Recchi family zeroed in on a plan with a $793 monthly premium, which would ultimately cost $566 a month thanks to the ACA subsidy. That was based on $90,000 income – if the family made $40,000, as it had last year, the premium would have cost them $17 a month.
So wait a minute...are they on Medicaid or were they on a private QHP?? It says they "signed up for Medicaid "under Obamacare" in Ohio" which wasn't possible until 2014, well after the actual treatment. So now I'm just confused.


Funding for an Autism Spectrum Disorder programme for preschoolers has been championed by a charity leader.
Minister of Finance Curtis Dickinson announced on Friday that $327,000 would be set aside to develop the programme in 2019-20.
Mr Peets pointed to research from the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the leading national public health institute of the United States, that one in 59 children had a diagnosis of ASD by the age of 8 in 2014 — a 15 per cent increase from 2012.
He said that early diagnosis was "imperative" and that "specific intervention programming is welcomed".
Mr Peets added: "What is more than imperative is having trained personnel who implement the day-to-day interventions.
"Working with children on the spectrum is way more than just having awareness of a diagnosis.
Mr Peets said at present it takes months for parents to have an assessment of their child completed in Bermuda.
Mr Peets said that some families had chosen to go overseas to have assessments done.

Xi: Promise to open up more is firm
by An Baijie
BEIJING (China Daily/ANN) - China will fulfill its commitment made at the just-concluded Boao Forum for Asia to boost opening-up through powerful measures, President Xi Jinping said on Monday.
Xi made the remark while meeting with Klaus Schwab, founder and chief executive of the World Economic Forum, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
As a responsible major country, China will make joint efforts with the international community to enhance cooperation, boost opening-up and pursue win-win results to bring a bright, stable and prosperous future to the world, Xi said.
Xi said there are some positive signs for the global economy, but the three fundamental contradictions he mentioned last year during the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, still exist. They are the lack of a driving force for global economic growth, the lack of global economic governance and unbalanced global development.
Xi said that an anti-globalization and trade protectionism trend is rising and it has added risks and uncertainties to the global economy.
Facing so many problems and challenges, the whole world should enhance coordination among equals and resort to multilateral cooperation, Xi said.
History has repeatedly proved that only by openness and cooperation will the path become ever wider, Xi said, adding that major countries shoulder important and special responsibilities for those issues.
Xi expressed gratitude for the arrangement that Schwab made for his speech at the Davos forum in January 2017.
The World Economic Forum has upheld the spirit of innovation and exercised special influence over global affairs, Xi said, adding that China is expanding cooperation with the forum.
Schwab said Xi's speech last January at Davos was impressive.
"You cannot imagine how much it is referred to in discussions again and again among our members and participants," Schwab told Xi.
Schwab said he was "particularly interested in" Xi's proposal of building a community of a shared future for mankind, which has been mentioned by Xi on many occasions, including at the Communist Party of China's 19th National Congress, the recent session of the National People's Congress and the just-concluded Boao annual conference.
Schwab spoke highly of Xi's efforts to "keep our global system open and to keep it collaborative".
The World Economic Forum supports economic globalization and multilateralism and it opposes trade protectionism and unilateralism, he said.
Schwab said that he was proud of the cooperation between the forum and China in the past four decades, and he would like to enhance cooperation with China in such areas as advancing the building of the Belt and Road and boosting innovative development.

NGC 727 (również NGC 729 lub PGC 7027) – galaktyka spiralna z poprzeczką (SBab), znajdująca się w gwiazdozbiorze Pieca.

Została odkryta 1 września 1834 roku przez Johna Herschela. Ponownie zaobserwował on ją 30 listopada 1837 roku, lecz obliczona przez niego pozycja obiektu różniła się nieco od tej z pierwszej obserwacji i w rezultacie błędnie skatalogował galaktykę po raz drugi. John Dreyer w swoim New General Catalogue skatalogował obie obserwacje Herschela jako NGC 727 i NGC 729.

This course approaches perception as a corporeal event, and the perceiving body as an active reflector and conveyer of reality. We melt into our corporeal being and surrender to kinetic dialogues that spring from it's deepest layers. The controlling mind is calmed though a deeply relaxing preparation, whereafter we tune into releasing our corporeal knowledge as movement in time and space. Quiet dance- and dancer-related norms are gently dismantled, and together we move towards allowing a broader corporeal spectrum in ourselves and in one-another. We let unpredictable sensations, events and actions (movement, voice, language) manifest and redissolve in associative streams, operating shamelessly on the boarder of the permitted/forbidden.
An open demo is arranged at the end of the course. The structure and contents of the demo is agreed upon with the course-participants.The course is suitable for performing art professionals and students.
The course is part of dance artist Karolina Ginman's long-term artistic project ∞, that reflects upon and deals with humanity in the borderlands of dance and psychoanalytic thinking. The first workshop was held as part of the Nordic Forum for Dance Research: Dance & Democracy - conference in Gothenburg, June 2017.
Dance artist Karolina Ginman graduated from Laban in 2008 and is currently completing her Master's Thesis in psychology (Helsinki University in collaboration with the Theatre Academy & Sibelius Academy). She has worked diversely in field of performing arts as dancer, pedagogue and creator of choreographic works in collaboration with varying artistic groups. Recent projects include KARAVAANI 2017 (the Finnish National Theatre), the Soiva Liike (Sounding Motion) - initiative, and works as dancer for choreographers Mikko Orpana, Hanna Pajala-Assefa, Favela Vera Ortiz. Karolina approaches movement as a unique way of studying humanity and reality. She enjoys working with projects that unfold on the boarder of dance and psychology. As from 2018 she works on the board of Nordic Forum for Dance Research.

Homeschooling, a Religious Liberty Victory and the Power of the People.
Julie Klose Send an email January 16, 2015
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Reddit Share via Email Print
In Goochland County, Virginia a controversial school board decision has been repealed and a victory has been won for religious freedom proving the prevailing power of the people.
The controversial 2013 policy in question was regarding religious exemption for homeschooled students stating, "Any student who together with his/her parents seeks an exemption from compulsory attendance due to their bona fide religious training or beliefs must submit a written application to the school board, setting forth the reasons for the request." The policy required that children within 30 days of their 14th birthday write the board explaining their religious beliefs to justify their religious exemption from traditional public or private schooling. It also reserved the right to bring in a child before the school board for a hearing to defend their religious beliefs.
The Home School Legal Defense Association said the policy violates Virginia law. State law allows children undergoing religious training to be taught at home without having to defend their beliefs. Several parents received this updated policy in the mail which threatened court action if "failure to comply with the Compulsory Attendance Law." There was a huge public outcry over the policy and both parents and students let their voices be heard at the Goochland School Board meeting on Tuesday night with standing room only.
I had the opportunity to attend the school board meeting and was encouraged to be a part of a community of people who were openly opposing a threat to the will of the people. A government entity was overstepping their bounds and undermining not only parental authority but the constitutional right of religious freedom in this country. I was encouraged by people who stated, "I will not comply with this unjust law'' and "Our rights come from God." Many questioned the lack of common sense in the policy by asking the question, "Where else does a 14 year-old have to assert and exercise their rights?"
The state of Virginia has nearly doubled their homeschooling rate in the last ten years with a population of 35,858 homeschool students. Virginia's pace in homeschooling is slightly higher than the national average. But this increase has spurred discussions about relaxed homeschool policies and more accountability by the state for those choosing to homeschool. Several people who spoke out in defense of the policy were concerned about the interests of the children and proper oversight for a student's academic success. Currently there are no academic requirements for students who are homeschooled under religious exemption.
What was the catalyst for this controversial policy by the Goochland School Board?
Several in the community mentioned a University of Virginia report, "7,000 Children and Counting: An Analysis of Religious Exemptions from Compulsory School Attendance in Virginia" by Professor Andrew Block. The report questions the role government should take in balancing parents' religious freedom with children's right to an education. Virginia's Religious Exemption, which recognizes the religious freedom of parents, is unique in not calling for governmental oversight of the education of children in families who are religiously exempt. Block questions the Virginia code, "While this does not necessarily mean that religiously exempted children are not receiving an education, it does mean that Virginia law contemplates and allows for such a possibility."
Could a study by a liberal professor, based on little evidence and a hypothetical possibility, spur such a direct threat to parental rights?
The school board denied Block's report influenced their decision although they did admit to reading it. Their decision in making the policy was based on previous court cases, other similar county policies, and the threat of future law suits. Once again, a hypothetical provoked an egregious policy under the guise of the "interests of the children."
After several hours of emotional public comments, the members of the Goochland County School Board made the decision to repeal the policy and suspend any pending action against parents in violation of it. Several of the board members agreed that the policy was too intrusive and infringed on parents' rights.
Being one of the many citizens witnessing the public outcry of a policy that undermines parental authority and violates the First Amendment, I was proud to be a part of a caliber of people who took a stand against government overreach. One attendee commented, "This is the closest thing I've seen to 1776 in all my 70 years." I could relate to his statement and the spirit of liberty that was in that room.
There was indeed a victory for religious liberty with the power of the people but I can't help but ask a question to the Goochland community. If our elected officials do not have the common sense to interpret the law accurately without violating our First Amendment, do they have the capability to make other decisions related to school policy regarding the interests of our children? If we allow government at any level to take away religious freedom under the guise of being sued, how many other freedoms can so easily be stripped away and what will happen if the people do not take a stand?

One interesting fact is that nobody prefers to wait in long queues especially when they are hungry. In this regard, any valuable information that can be provided by the restaurant during the waiting phase can lower the uncertainty of the wait as well as the stress levels experienced by customers. Besides, the uncertainty waiting duration has an influence on the customers' emotional reactions, which then influence their service evaluation of the particular restaurant. Digital signage screens provide customers with something more fascinating to look at compared to a traditional menu. The more fascinating, relevant and attractive your content, the more you lower the negative perception around waiting times. Moreover, you can also use the digital screens to show customers live wait lists so they will know long they will have to wait until they get their food, thus affording the customer an element of control.
As the customer waits for the food, you can use the digital signage screens to inform them of any deals or incentives on certain products. Have a daily happy hour you would like to target? Let your clients know. This not only spreads the word, but also translates into sales for other items in your restaurant much to your delight.
You don't want a scenario where your hungry customers queue up only to get to the front of the queue and find you're sold out. Now imagine firstly, the discontent of the customers and secondly the ensuing pressure from other impatient customers waiting behind the queue. This doesn't have to be the case. When you display your food menu on digital screens, it can be automatically updated, from anywhere. As a result, your digital menu boards will be up-to-the minute, assisting customers and restaurant personnel to save face and make well-informed decisions.
In conclusion, restaurant owners stand to benefit a lot by turning to digital signage as part of their marketing tool.

Audi's Super-Sexy EV Gains An Engine, Loses A Roof
PARIS — For the most part, the world of electric and hybrid vehicles can be split into two hemispheres: cars that get your pulse racing, and the ones that don't. Audi's e-tron family — an electric coupe concept unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show in 2009 and a more refined version of the same idea […]
Each of the Spyder's 20-inch wheels is composed of 66 separate pieces. In person, they look sharp enough to cut your mechanic's hands off.
PARIS — For the most part, the world of electric and hybrid vehicles can be split into two hemispheres: cars that get your pulse racing, and the ones that don't.
Audi's e-tron family — an electric coupe concept unveiled at the Frankfurt auto show in 2009 and a more refined version of the same idea shown at Detroit in January — is firmly in the former group. Both foreshadow Audi's green-vehicle plan for the next decade, and both are knee-quakingly awesome. As if that weren't enough to get your heart racing, now there's a spyder — a plug-in hybrid that boasts a rear-mounted, twin-turbo diesel V-6 and two electric drive motors.
Be still our hearts.
The e-tron Spyder isn't a direct representative of a future production model, but elements of its styling and powertrain should find the way into real cars. The relatively short (95.7-inch wheelbase, or almost nine inches shorter than Audi's R8) platform is a combination of extruded and die-cast aluminum and carbon fiber. At 3197 pounds, the complete package is slightly heavier than the Detroit e-tron but still several hundred pounds lighter than the Frankfurt car. Weight distribution is claimed to be 50-50 front to rear.
But that's not the most interesting part. The Spyder's drivetrain is a cram-everything-in-there marriage of Volkswagen Group buzzwords: A 300-horsepower, 479-pound feet, turbocharged diesel V-6 drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed, twin-clutch transmission. Two asynchronous electric motors motivate the front wheels, torque vectoring directs power to the front wheels for optimum traction, and Audi claims the Spyder offers a 25:75 front-to-rear torque split in normal conditions. Combined, the motors offer 88 horsepower and a healthy 260 pound-feet of twist.
There's a lot to get excited about here, but like most hot drop-tops, the Spyder's glory comes down to performance. Audi says that the car is capable of 107 mpg and a 600-plus-mile range. The sprint to 62 mph is accomplished in a claimed 4.4 seconds, and the car can operate in electric-only mode for 31 miles at speeds of up to 37 mph.
Also, it's pure eye candy. We stood in front of it for fifteen minutes and had to repeatedly pick our jaw up off the floor. Maybe something like this gets built and sold to the public, maybe not. Regardless, Audi could charge people to look at it and make a fortune.
UPDATED 5 p.m.: There was some kind of technical glitch with the photos; we've fixed it and added a couple of full-frontal shots courtesy of Audi.

It's Time To Stop Making Excuses For Racism In New Zealand Music
Aaradhna issues a wake-up call at the NZ Music Awards.

When it comes to the New Zealand Music Awards, there's a common question you'll hear each and every year: "who cares?" For people both inside and outside of the local music industry, the event more often than not gets met with an eyeroll. And why wouldn't it? They're the biggest awards of the year, but they're easily the most predictable.
They're also desperately in need of change. Last night, upon being announced as the winner of this year's Best Urban/Hip Hop Album for her stunning record Brown Girl, R&B singer Aaradhna—who is the daughter of an Indian father and Samoan mother—used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to speak out on the frustration and disappointment of being shoved into a category simply because of the colour of her skin.
"So this song is "Brown Girl", and it speaks so many things," she said. "It speaks on racism, and being placed in a box. And for me, I feel like if I was to accept this, I feel like I'm not being truthful in my song.
"And I feel like if you're putting a singer next to a hip hop artist, it's not fair. I'm a singer. I'm not a rapper [and] I'm not a hip hop artist. It feels like I've been placed in the category of brown people. That's what it feels like."
Instead of accepting the award, the Porirua-born musician chose to give it to Onehunga rap crew SWIDT, who were nominated alongside PNC for their debut record SWIDT Vs. Everybody. "I feel like this is the kind of award that is for a hip-hop artist," she said. "And I want to give it to SWIDT, because I believe that you guys are the future of hip hop."
It was a hugely powerful moment, but the conversation itself isn't entirely new. Back in September, Moana Maniapoto (who you should know from her time in Moana and the Moahunters and Moana and the Tribe) issued her own wake-up call to the music industry when she was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame.
As she put it herself, when you don't hear someone like you on the radio or see someone like you on TV, it's easy to come to the conclusion that maybe your culture just doesn't matter. It's time we stopped making excuses for it.
Like Moana, who believes we need a quota for Māori music on radio and television, Aaradhna also offered a simple solution to push things forward: ditch the "urban" title entirely (#BREAKING: the word has nothing to do with music, or race for that matter) and instead have separate awards for both New Zealand hip hop and New Zealand R&B/soul. If there's room for a Roots genre—whatever the hell that is meant to be—then surely there's more than enough space to recognise two very different artists regardless of what they look like.
"I had to say it," Aaradhna told RNZ last night. "I had to let it out."
Hopefully this time next year we won't be rolling our eyes so much.
