The residencies can take place in Building C designed for any type of artistic creation (visual arts, architecture, performing arts, cinema, design, multimedia, music, literature and fashion) or in the Blackbox but only for specifically targeted projects.
A pre-existing structure, it is connected to the Exhibition Building and takes advantage of its large size and high ceilings to implement the current concept of experimental space for artistic creation. This space meets the needs and demands of artist-in-residence programs, since it features spatial, functional and technical conditions that allow artists/creators (in their multiple facets) to take over the building as they see fit.
The area reserved for artist-in-residence programs emerges as a multipurpose space and as an entry chamber for the Art Center, where the occupation of space with residencies aims to encourage and stimulate the exchange of experiences and knowledge between artists and the local community, boosting social development besides highlighting or establishing ties between local arts and culture. This space answers one of the key questions about the strategy this cultural facility – training, as it allows the audience to interact with the creative process and to foresee the activities that it can provide to the centre.
Artist-in-residence programs are part of the calendar of cultural events prepared by the ARQUIPÉLAGO complementing other projects and activities developed at the Center, such as temporary exhibitions and educational activities that can take place in building C, which was designed for any type of art project. At the Blackbox or at the Education Service, all creative projects have to be analysed.
The floor features cable conduits with 3 technical boxes, each including 3 sockets and 2 network jacks.
There is a total of 7 sockets along the wall, with 2 located above a counter with a stainless steel top, a sink and a water tap.
Technical questions regarding the space and electrical equipment shall always be discussed with the production team and with the person in charge of the building and equipment.
Room for specific artistic and cultural projects.
The Arquipélago – Contemporary Art Center operates the Blackbox through the production team, the Audiovisual and Multimedia team and the person in charge of the building and equipment in partnership with the technical team of the Micaelense Theatre.
The performance hall is located in a central area in relation to the foyer and the entrance of artists and technicians, with two collective dressing rooms (capacity for 8 artists each) available on levels 1 and 2, along with two spaces for artists to use, one of which with a terrace where they can socialize and unwind before and after their performances.
The Blackbox's layout blurs the line between spectator/observer and artist, placing them in the same space, questioning the classic stage/audience boundary. On the other hand, its architectural shape opened to the central courtyard emphasizes its mission as virtually a multipurpose structure, moving it closer to a living space than to a space for 'fiction' (typical feature of a theatrical space). This facility aims to lessen the boundaries between artistic creation and collective everyday life with the flexibility of its configuration meeting the demand for versatility that, for example, is required by performance arts today and that is capable of producing different spaces according to functional requests.
The morphology of this structure consists of a rectangular layout including two levels inside, corresponding to a metal walkway and a fly system. The location of the stage is not predefined and there is great flexibility in terms of seating arrangements. We expect to use chairs mounted on manually mobile platforms that allow various combinations and different ways of organizing the space. This modular space can be adapted to each performance by combining and adding mobile equipment located on the floor and ceiling that is easily assembled and disassembled.
Make the space available for assembly and rehearsals.
Provide the dressing rooms that artists deem necessary, taking into consideration their availability.
Provide the technical support necessary for artist-in-residence programs.
Ensure that all licenses and permits necessary for the public display of artist-in-residence programs are obtained.
Respect the promotional and information material provided by artists/participants.
Inform artists/participants in a timely fashion about any press conference or interview and about the conditions under which they will be held.
We reserve the right to film and photograph artist-in-residence programs for our archive, and we can also include these recordings on the website, Facebook page or other dissemination platforms of the Arquipélago – Contemporary Arts Centre.

Ensures his/her readiness for photo sessions.
Allow employees and technicians from the Centre permanent access to all the spaces of the artist-in-residence programs.
Allow access within the scope of public visits that may be determined by the Centre.
During the program, develop work that is adequate to the space, respecting the integrity of the buildings and ensuring that, once the program finishes, they will be left in the same state they were originally.
Ensure the cleaning and maintenance of workshop equipment and tools, being liable for any damage.
Keep spaces clean and tidy.
Report any defect detected during the program to the production or to the person in charge of the building and equipment of the Arquipélago.
When entering and exiting the Centre, always pass by the reception to identify themselves before the security guard so they can circulate unrestrictedly throughout the space.
Pick up and return the access keys at the Centre's reception at the beginning and at the end of the day during the program.

India ranks 3rd among nations facing most cyber threats: Symantec
The United States led the pack, followed by China at the second spot, according to the company's Internet security threat report (ISTR).PTI | April 04, 2018, 23:20 IST
India ranked third in the list of countries where the highest number of cyber threats were detected, and second in terms of targeted attacks in 2017, according to security software firm Symantec.
"India is ranked third among list of countries globally where most of the threats were detected and it is second in terms of targeted attacks," Tarun Kaura, Director, Enterprise Security Product Management, Asia Pacific and Japan, Symantec said.
The United States led the pack, followed by China at the second spot, according to the company's Internet security threat report (ISTR).
India was ranked second globally when it comes to spam and phishing (misleading emails, weblink etc). However, complex cyber attacks -- ransomware and network attacks in India increased in terms of global percentage.
"India ranks fourth globally with eight per cent of global detections of ransomware (a malicious software which locks computer and demands money to unlock it)," the report said.
Symmantec detected 133 targeted attacks in India which are the work of organised groups.
"The majority of these groups are state sponsored (although there is a small number of private operators) and they're usually driven by a small number of motivations: intelligence gathering, disruption, sabotage, or financial. Broadly speaking targeted attacks corresponds to espionage, although the lines are starting to blur," the ISTR report said.
Kaura said that India is one of victims of targeted attack because a lot of intellectual property rights are generated here and the criminals may intent to steal them.
With the rise in value of crypto-currencies, a new cyber attack from cryptominers was detected in the country where criminals stole computer processing power usage from consumers and enterprises to mine digital currencies.
The immediate impact of this attack could lead to slowing down of devices, overheating batteries and in some cases, rendering devices unusable but there are broader implications particularly for organisations.
"Detections of coinminers on endpoint computers increased by 8,500 percent in 2017. India ranks second in Asia-Pacific Japan (APJ) region, ninth globally in terms of crypto mining activities," the report said.
India was also ranked second after the US where the highest number of malwares for mobile phones were detected the by company.

Why all this hoopla about "deer season?" What is sinful about working and obtaining food at any time of the year? So-called hunting is a religious matter, just like every other matter in life, as there is no realm outside of religion.


You may have asked yourself – "Why should I train for a hike – surely I'll get fitter as I go?" It is true that you will find it easier as the days progress but the fitter you are, the more you'll enjoy your self-guided multi-day hike from the very start.
This is a guest post from Walking guide Gill McMillan who has been leading walking adventures all over the world for many years. Here she shares her top tips to prepare your body and fitness levels for a long distance trek in Scotland.
Have a look at your intended route and note down the distance you'll be walking on the longest day. That's the goal you should aim for. Look to see if ascent and descent are mentioned and factor this in. This matters more than you might think; you might be fine walking the dog on flat ground, but add in a hill or two and it will become more challenging.
Tip: Figure out your longest day, factor in some hills and work up to it.
Walking the mighty West Highland Way long distance trek.
Start well in advance, I'd recommend three months minimum before if you aren't used to regular exercise. The goal is to increase breathing and heart-rate so that you can walk uphill while still being able to hold a conversation. When it gets too much, slow down or stop to catch your breath. It will get easier as you do it more often.
Any exercise that increases cardiovascular fitness will help. Swimming and cycling are good options but even climbing the stairs instead of using an escalator or lift are a start. The key, as most experts will tell you, is to build up your stamina by exercising little and often. It's far better to have four half-hour walks in a week than a massive day once a fortnight.
As your fitness increases you'll also be wearing in your boots. Walking short distances will allow your feet to get accustomed to new boots. Try out different socks to get a comfy fit. Wool ones are best but you can try different weights.
Develop a good relationship with your new boots before the long walk.
If you normally use an inhaler, even if it's only occasionally, do make sure you bring it with you on your trip. It's always better to know it's there rather than wish that you'd brought it along.
Trekking poles can be very handy too, especially for coming downhill. If you have trouble with your knees they can really help to take some of the strain off.
Be honest with yourself if you are setting yourself a big walking challenge and you haven't exercised for a while.
Tip: Visit your GP prior to your trip if you have any health concerns.
It won't take you long to get fit for long distance walking but remember slow and steady wins the race. Give yourself time to build up and you'll really love the feeling of pulling on the boots each morning. In fact, I have a health warning of my own to impart – walking becomes addictive but in a pleasant sort of a way.

A Point of Entry a brit Judas Priest hetedik nagylemeze, mely 1981-ben jelent meg. Miután az előző évben a "Breaking the Law" és a "Living After Midnight" nagy népszerűségre tettek szert a rádiókban, ezért úgy döntöttek, hogy az új albumot alapvetően dallamosabbra, rádióbarátabbra hangszerelik. Ezzel a lemezzel tehát egy Amerikát becélzó, kommerszebb útra léptek. Így nem csoda, hogy az utóbbi lemezek fényében a Point of Entry nem aratott egyértelmű sikert. A Hot Rockin, a Don't Go és a Heading Out to the Highway című dalokra készült videóklip. Ezekből a Hot Rockin még napjainkban is szerepel a koncertműsorukban.

Q: Argument list too long when removing files in trash I have about 1,000,000 png images to remove from my trash. I tried:

*

*rm -rf /home/ahmed/.local/share/Trash/*

*find . -name '*' | xargs rm -v
I got the following
bash: /usr/bin/find: Argument list too long

A: ARG_MAX is being triggered in the process of listing/removal.
You can:

*

*Let find handle the removal, it inherently handles ARG_MAX:
find /home/ahmed/.local/share/Trash/ -type f -iname '*.png' -delete

*Leverage a for construct, this is slow BTW:
for f in /home/ahmed/.local/share/Trash/*.[Pp][Nn][Gg]; do
    [[ -f $f ]] && rm "$f"
done

A: The shell expands the wildcard * to all filenames, which overflows the maximum command line length. Although in your second example, this cannot happen, because the asterisk is in quotes '*'.

To remove the whole directory, you may also remove the directory itself
rm -rf /home/ahmed/.local/share/Trash

Note the missing wildcard at the end.

Another approach to avoid this kind of error with find, could be to use -type f. This option selects all regular files, e.g.
find . -type f | xargs rm -v

With 1,000,000 files though, I would avoid option -v.

Notice to Primary Insurer through Common Broker Does Not Constitute Notice to Excess Insurer
The Illinois Appellate Court, Fourth Division, applying Illinois law, has held that notice provided to a primary insurer through the same broker who was designated to receive notice in an excess policy was not imputed to the excess insurer when there was no evidence that the notice was intended for anyone other than the primary insurer. Federal Ins. Co. v. Lexington Ins. Co., 2011 WL 31860 (Ill. App. Ct. Jan. 3, 2011).
The insured was a detonator manufacturer that was sued when its product seriously injured the claimant. The insured gave verbal notice of the accident to its broker, which also happened to be the designated agent for receiving notice on behalf of the excess carrier, but the insured left it up to the broker to decide which carriers should be provided written notice. The broker provided notice to the primary carrier, but not to the excess carrier, although the primary and excess carriers were part of the same corporate family.
The court held that sufficient notice was not provided to the excess carrier. The court explained that the proper analysis of the sufficiency of notice is "whether the notice given objectively complied with the potential claim notice provisions of a policy." The relevant excess policy language provided that notice of a circumstance be provided "in writing, sent by registered or certified mail during the period of this Policy," to the common broker.
The appellate court found that the insured failed to comply with the notice of circumstance provision of the excess policy because there was no evidence that the insured notified "the entity designated in Item 4," the broker, either by telephone or in writing, that it should put the excess insurer on notice of the claimant's accident. The court rejected the insured's contention that notice to the broker of the incident by telephone the day after the accident was sufficient, particularly where the insured did not instruct the broker to provide notice to the excess carrier. The appellate court also agreed with the trial court that the notice provided to the primary insurer did not impute notice to the excess insurer, notwithstanding that they were corporate affiliates, because that notice did not identify the excess insurer and there was no evidence suggesting that the sender of the notice intended to notify anyone other than the primary insurer.

Non-resident is an individual or a legal entity, residing in one region or jurisdiction, but having interests in another region (definitions may vary depending on a law section).
As a rule, the place of living is the major criterion of residency for individuals, and for legal persons – the place of state registration. The rules of taxation, currency control, etc. applicable to the residents differ from the ones applicable to non-residents.
Temporary residence permit for a foreign citizen or, for stateless individuals, the permit with a note proving residence in the Russian Federation for at least 183 days (document is valid for 5 years).
Temporary residence permit as a note in the identification document of a foreign citizen or stateless individual, or as a standard document given in the Russian Federation to the person without identification documents with a note proving residence in the Russian Federation for at least 183 days (document is valid for 5 years).
Labour contract or employment statement or any other document confirming the residence of an individual in the Russian Federation for more than 183 days (in case there are no passport and visa requirements).
Document confirming authorities of the sole executive body.
Bank card with the authorized signatures and a seal sample.
Authority in the names of individuals specified on the card and who are not a sole executive body.
In case the Russian Federation and the state of incorporation have a double taxation treaty, and the client wants to apply this treaty, then one more document is to be submitted confirming that the client has permanent residence in the state that has an agreement with the Russian Federation.
As in foreign countries permanent residence is determined on the base of various criteria, compliance verification is carried out at the moment of applying for a certain document. The document must specify a certain period of permanent residence (calendar year). This document must be attested by a competent authority of the foreign state.
Should the client fail to provide this document, the company will not take into account the provisions of the double taxation treaty when calculating income tax repayment as a tax agent.
All documents must be apostilled in the state of incorporation and translated into Russian, the translation must be notarized.
The apostille is not required from citizens of the countries which have joined the Minsk convention: the Republic of Armenia, Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Republic of Uzbekistan, and Ukraine.


At this time, the proposed ruling is limited to Medicare and Medicaid plans. Congress could extend this model to the commercial market at which point it would impact all PBM contracts.
The ruling does not alter current safe harbor protection offered to other entities such as wholesalers, pharmacies, physicians and other third-party payers.

Fw 200 Condor, NW of Grótta, Faxaflói. August 14, 1942
Focke-Wulf Fw 200 C-4 Condor.
The Incident:
In the morning of August 14, 1942, Ofw. Fritz Kuhn commander on the Focke-Wulf Fw 200 CONDOR bomber aircraft and his crew reached the S coast of Iceland E of VÍk. At 0921 the CONDOR was heading west when first detected, by the radar of RAF Vík, Fraser, CHL. It was identified as F-44 (friendly aircraft) since friendly aircraft were expected in the vicinity.
During the latter part of the track, it was suspected of not being friendly since it did not follow the normal route of approach to Reykjavík. At approximately 1000 hours an RAF Northrop N-3PD Nomad of No 330 Squadron tracked the Condor and reported that a hostile aircraft was flying near a convoy about 30 miles S of Grindavík. Several visual reports were received from radars and ground observer posts confirming the identification of the Fw 200 CONDOR.
At 1030 hours a radar track was detected about 30 miles W of Keflavik peninsula heading N. This track then turned E and passed about 10 miles north of Skagi Point.·(Skagaflös)
USAAF Fighter squadrons in Iceland at this time.
August 6. 1941, 30 Curtiss P-40C Warhawk of·the·33rd Fighter·Squadron·had been flown off the aircraft carrier USS Wasp (CV-7). Among·the·32 Army Air Corps pilots who boarded·the·carrier with the fighters at Norfolk, Virginia was Second Lieutenant Joseph D. Shaffer, U.S.A.A.C, Service number O-427002.
The 33rd Fighter squadron was stationed in Iceland until June 9th, 1945.
Two P-38 Lightning Squadrons (the 27th FS and the 50th FS) being ferried across the N Atlantic were held over in Iceland to assist the Curtis P40Cs of the 33rd Fighter Squadron in the flying of defense patrols over the N Atlantic.
The 27th Fighter Squadron operated from Reykjavík July 3. to August 26. 1942 to support the 33rd Fighter Squadron in the defense of Iceland.
The 50th Fighter Squadron was stationed in Reykjavík and Meeks Field and left Iceland Feb. 4, 1944.
Reykjavík Airfield
The radar and information centers alerted the Flight Operations Reykjavík of the Condor. Major Weltman was in the operations building and rushes out and into a P-38 Lightning Fighter.
At this time another P-38 Lightning, flown by Lt. Elza E. Shahan and a Curtiss P-40 flown by Joseph D. Shaffer were already in the air when the Condor was reported. Operations immediately radioed them a vector on which they could intercept the Condor.
Back to the LONE CONDOR
Weltman was the first pilot to see the Condor as it suddenly changes to the eastward course. At max speed he charges his guns, the German gunners are also ready. Weltman closes in and fires, the German returns the fire shot for shot. Within few minutes the P-38 Lightning is hit in the armament compartment making all four guns unusable. Seconds later one of the P-38 Lightning engines is shot out and Weltman returns to base in his crippled aircraft. By this time, about 1115 hours the other P-38 Lightning and the P-40 Warhawk had finally located the Condor. The P-38 Lightning (pilot Shahan) made one pass . Then the P-40 (pilot Shaffer) attacked and shot out the Condors LH inboard engine.
The P-38 Lightning (pilot Shahan) performed a "chandelle" (180° climb turn) returned to a position for a deflection shot (shooting ahead of moving target). There was no gunner visible on the side of the Condor he was approaching. When the P-38 Lightning (pilot Shahan) reached a distance of less than 100 yards from the Condor he pressed the button. Four deadly streams of .50 caliber tracer, incendiary, and armor-piercing bullets slashed into the Condors bomb bay area..
The P-38 Lightning pilot, Shahan, had planned to dive beneath his target, but with a roar of a thunder the Condor exploded in his face. It was too late to turn and he flew trough the flying wreckage. The P-38 Lightning was well scarred up by the flying debris. The remains of the Condor fell into the ocean 5 miles NW of Grotta Point. The P-40C Curtiss Warhawk, 33rd Fighter Squadron.

150 Years of Defiance:
Yukichi Fukuzawa and Keio Gijuku During the Meiji Restoration
In 1868, when political revolution shifted power from the Tokugawa shogunate to a newly centralized imperial government, Yukichi Fukuzawa's private school, now ten years in the making, was laying the foundation for what would grow into one of the most influential academic and research institutions in Japan. Upon relocation to Shiba Shinsenza, Fukuzawa and his fellow Western scholars established Keio Gijuku, an organization that would evolve into Keio University, one of Japan's first modern institutions of higher learning.
Utagawa Hiroshige's woodblock print of the Western-style Tokyo Tsukiji Hotel, which opened in 1868 near present-day Tsukiji Market. Fukuzawa was forced to leave the Tsukiji Teppozu area to make way for construction of foreign settlements.
The Birth of Keio Gijuku as a Public School
April 2018 marks exactly 150 years since Fukuzawa moved his school from Tsukiji Teppozu to Shiba Shinsenza (modern-day Hamamatsucho) and renamed it Keio Gijuku, after the contemporaneous Keio era (1865–1868), which would end just five months later with the ushering in of the Meiji Restoration amid major political, economic, and cultural upheaval. The relocation and renaming of the school is now considered a major turning point in the transformation of an otherwise insignificant school for Dutch studies into the major research and academic institution that we know today.
As detailed in Keio Gijuku no Ki (Pronouncement at the Establishment of Keio Gijuku), Keio was not to remain a small private school, but was instead to become a gijuku—a modern institution open to anyone wishing to pursue Western studies, regardless of class or caste. The gijuku that Fukuzawa envisioned was to be organized and operated in the same manner as schools in the West and is thought to be modeled on the public schools of England, based on a passage in Keio Gijuku no Ki which states that Keio "shall be fashioned after the public school." And though there are other instances of the word gijuku, it was Keio Gijuku that popularized the concept and led to its use across the country.
The name Keio, on the other hand, was simply a sign of the times, meant as a temporary placeholder to be later changed, as indicated by another passage which states, "The school's provisional name shall be Keio Gijuku, after the year of its establishment." Yet even after the Meiji period began in October 1868, Fukuzawa left his school's name unchanged despite repeated government demands to rename it. And though some denounced him for his staunch refusal to join the new Meiji government, he paid such criticism no mind. Fukuzawa's defiance signifies the importance he placed on retaining the right of free speech as an independent citizen.
Lectures During Wartime
Even in 1868—a year of great political upheaval, as a new era started and Japan's feudal system gave way to the restoration of imperial rule—Fukuzawa's passion for academics remained steadfast. The May following the restoration, Tokugawa loyalists, now disgruntled by the surrender of Edo Castle, took up positions in the hills of Ueno, where they were attacked by imperial forces. With the roar of gunfire within earshot, Tokyo was engulfed in a sudden panic, yet Fukuzawa maintained his composure, delivering his regular Saturday lecture on economics as always. This Fukuzawa anecdote, which illustrates his respect for academic education even in times of tumult and uncertainty, would become the basis for the Yukichi Fukuzawa-Francis Wayland Memorial Lectures, which are held annually on May 15 at the Mita Public Speaking Hall (Mita Enzetsu-kan) to commemorate Fukuzawa's bravery.
Fukuzawa would later reflect on the events of the time in his autobiography, describing the state of confusion in Edo: "When the war in Ueno began, all theaters, restaurants, and shops were closed and markets went completely dark. Every neighborhood throughout Edo was left in utter desolation."

Reverence for
Takamori Saigo's Spirit of Defiance
While Fukuzawa and Takamori Saigo, a main architect of the Meiji Restoration, did not personally know one another, there is no doubt that they held each other in high regard. "Saigo's death is a loss to be mourned. It was none other than the government that he helped create who plunged him into the jaws of death," Fukuzawa lamented in his public opinion piece Teichu Koron, written shortly after Saigo's death in 1877 at the end of the Satsuma Rebellion.

Fukuzawa respected Saigo's personality, his ideals, his noble manner, and his embodiment of what Fukuzawa termed a "spirit of civilization." Fukuzawa was also a strong proponent of Saigo's "spirit of defiance" against the tyranny of the new government during the Satsuma Rebellion. Fukuzawa went as far as to say that the Meiji government was directly responsible for Saigo's death, criticizing it for driving former Edo-era nobility into poverty and causing riots that rocked the nation.
For all of their differences—Fukuzawa was an educator and Saigo a military man—Fukuzawa was nevertheless impressed by the way Saigo lived his life. A reporter for the Jiji Shinpo newspaper found Fukuzawa's Teichu Koron piece, penned in 1877, in a stack of papers at Fukuzawa's home and had it published in the newspaper just before Fukuzawa's death in 1901. What stopped him from publishing his criticism in 1877 is still a mystery. Perhaps he deemed his scathing commentary too radical at such a volatile time.
Saigo is also known to have enjoyed reading Fukuzawa's works, and he often encouraged pupils of his native Kagoshima to study at Keio and recommended reading Fukuzawa's An Outline of a Theory of Civilization. It seems that he, too, sympathized with Fukuzawa's ideals.
Yukichi Fukuzawa, the educator-cum-philosopher, and Takamori Saigo, the politician and military man. However disparate their stations in life, both shared an unbending will that guided them through the tumultuous times of the late Tokugawa shogunate and early Meiji period.

Kurdish forces took over most of the town of Sinjar in the Nineveh province in northern Iraq Sunday, the Kurdish official website and a security source said.
A day earlier, the Kurdish forces gained foothold in the town after fierce clashes with the Islamic State (IS) militants.
Heavy gunfire and loud explosions continued during the day in Sinjar, as the Kurdish forces, known as the Peshmerga, fought to free the remaining pockets inside the town, some 100 km west of Mosul, the provincial capital of Nineveh, Xinhua reported, citing the official website of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) is a major Kurdish party led by Masoud Barzani.
Teams of explosive experts defused many landmines and roadside bombs, which the extremists planted in the town, the website said.
"The terrorists planted a (number) of landmines and bombs in the houses and the streets of the town, but immediately after we entered the town, we started cleaning (them)," the website quoted Qasim Shasho, a Peshmerga leader in the town, as saying.
Shasho also said that his troops found a mass grave in a village outside the town containing 70 to 80 bodies, most of which were of women and children.
A Kurdish security source told Xinhua that the Peshmerga forces managed to free several neighbourhoods in central Sinjar, including the government building, where the Kurdish fighters raised the flag of the Kurdistan region.
On Saturday, Kurdish forces advanced to free the town of Sinjar after retaking several villages from the Islamic State (IS) mlitants in Iraq's Nineveh province.
The Peshmerga, backed by US-led coalition aircrafts, advanced from three directions in the area between the towns of Rabia and Sinjar before they entered Sinjar and seized a part of it.
The battles in Sinjar were part of a major offensive launched Wednesday when thousands of Peshmerga fighters retook control of the town of Zumar, located about 70 km northwest of Mosul, and then the nearby town of Sunoni Friday.
The main aim of the offensive was to seize the town of Sinjar after seizing the roads and villages leading to the town, which is home to the Iraqi minority of Yazidis who have been displaced several months ago.
The Yazidis comprise primarily of ethnic Kurds whose religion incorporates elements of many faiths. There are about 600,000 Yazidis left in Iraq with around 80 percent of them living in the towns of Sinjar and Bashika in the Nineveh province.
The Kurds had demanded the expansion of their sovereign region in northern Iraq to include the oil-rich province of Kirkuk and other areas in the Iraqi provinces of Nineveh, Salahudin and Diyala, but their request was fiercely opposed by the Iraqi government.
Earlier in June, the Peshmerga took control of disputed areas, including the northern city of Kirkuk, after the Iraqi security forces withdrew from their bases following the June 10 blitzkrieg of the Sunni militant groups, including the IS, in which they seized several territories in the predominantly Sunni provinces.

The second expedient is as impracticable as the first would be unwise. As long as the reason of man continues fallible, and he is at liberty to exercise it, different opinions will be formed. As long as the connection subsists between his reason and his self-love, his opinions and his passions will have a reciprocal influence on each other; and the former will be objects to which the latter will attach themselves. The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to a uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government. From the protection of different and unequal faculties of acquiring property, the possession of different degrees and kinds of property immediately results; and from the influence of these on the sentiments and views of the respective proprietors, ensues a division of the society into different interests and parties….
1st. The constitution itself strongly countenances such a mode of construction. Most of the articles in this system, which convey powers of any considerable importance, are conceived in general and indefinite terms, which are either equivocal, ambiguous, or which require long definitions to unfold the extent of their meaning. The two most important powers committed to any government, those of raising money, and of raising and keeping up troops, have already been considered, and shewn to be unlimitted by any thing but the discretion of the legislature. The clause which vests the power to pass all laws which are proper and necessary, to carry the powers given into execution, it has been shewn, leaves the legislature at liberty, to do every thing, which in their judgment is best. It is said, I know, that this clause confers no power on the legislature, which they would not have had without it — though I believe this is not the fact, yet, admitting it to be, it implies that the constitution is not to receive an explanation strictly, according to its letter; but more power is implied than is expressed. And this clause, if it is to be considered, as explanatory of the extent of the powers given, rather than giving a new power, is to be understood as declaring, that in construing any of the articles conveying power, the spirit, intent and design of the clause, should be attended to, as well as the words in their common acceptation.
This constitution gives sufficient colour for adopting an equitable construction, if we consider the great end and design it professedly has in view — these appear from its preamble to be, "to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity." The design of this system is here expressed, and it is proper to give such a meaning to the various parts, as will best promote the accomplishment of the end; this idea suggests itself naturally upon reading the preamble, and will countenance the court in giving the several articles such a sense, as will the most effectually promote the ends the constitution had in view — how this manner of explaining the constitution will operate in practice, shall be the subject of future enquiry.
Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neitherFORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments.
This simple view of the matter suggests several important consequences. It proves incontestably, that the judiciary is beyond comparison the weakest of the three departments of power; that it can never attack with success either of the other two; and that all possible care is requisite to enable it to defend itself against their attacks. It equally proves, that though individual oppression may now and then proceed from the courts of justice, the general liberty of the people can never be endangered from that quarter; I mean so long as the judiciary remains truly distinct from both the legislature and the Executive. For I agree, that "there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers." And it proves, in the last place, that as liberty can have nothing to fear from the judiciary alone, but would have every thing to fear from its union with either of the other departments; that as all the effects of such a union must ensue from a dependence of the former on the latter, notwithstanding a nominal and apparent separation; that as, from the natural feebleness of the judiciary, it is in continual jeopardy of being overpowered, awed, or influenced by its co-ordinate branches; and that as nothing can contribute so much to its firmness and independence as permanency in office, this quality may therefore be justly regarded as an indispensable ingredient in its constitution, and, in a great measure, as the citadel of the public justice and the public security.

Press Release | October 19, 2020
Cohesity Honored as Corporate Philanthropy Volunteer of the Year by Special Olympics Northern California
Recognition Underscores the Company's Commitment to Philanthropy in Northern California and Beyond
San Jose, Calif. – Oct. 19, 2020 – Cohesity today announced that it has been named Corporate Philanthropy Volunteer of the Year by Special Olympics Northern California (SONC). The company was honored as a part of the Special Olympics Volunteers of the Year Awards Show held virtually on Oct. 18.
"Giving back to the communities we work and live in is a staple of Cohesity's philosophy, and we are extremely honored to be recognized by Special Olympics Northern California as Corporate Philanthropy Volunteer of the Year," said Mohit Aron, founder and CEO, Cohesity. "We are proud to be associated with an organization that has done so much for the Northern California region, giving countless children and adults the opportunity to demonstrate courage, experience joy, and develop meaningful skills and friendships that can last a lifetime."
"We're so grateful to foster long-term relationships with our corporate partners and can't thank Cohesity enough for their dedication and support," said David Solo, president and CEO of Special Olympics Northern California. "Cohesity believes in our mission to enrich the lives of children and adults with intellectual disabilities through sports and is playing an active role to build a more inclusive world. We are proud to recognize Cohesity as our 2019 Corporate Philanthropy Volunteer of the Year and look forward to growing the partnership in the future."
SONC event sponsored by Cohesity, with Cohesity CEO Mohit Aron, SONC employee, SONC athlete Lindsay, Hall of Fame Receiver Jerry Rice, and SONC Athlete Ryan.
Cohesity has worked with SONC on a number of initiatives, including:
Charity activities during the 2019 VMworld conference, including putt-putt golf, an award ceremony hosted by Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice, as well as a dollar-for-dollar match on the first $50,000 raised for the Special Olympics during the event.
A VIP experience for SONC Athlete Leaders, coaches, donors, and partners at a San Francisco Giants game last summer. Guests had an opportunity to watch batting practice, meet players, and enjoy food and drinks in Oracle Park's Triples Alley before enjoying the game.
And, more recently, a virtual night out and sing-along with Jonathan Groff (voice of Kristoff and Sven from "Frozen" and King George in the Broadway production of "Hamilton") and JD McCrary (voice of Young Simba in "The Lion King").
SONC's Volunteers of the Year Awards Show streamed on the organization's Facebook and YouTube channels and recognized recipients based on their impact in 2019 and prior. As an organization, SONC relies on the support of more than 28,000 volunteers to keep all programs and services free for athletes and their families. Volunteers of the Year are usually celebrated at the annual Summer Games, which was canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. The 2019 SONC Volunteers of the Year included:
Corporate Philanthropy Volunteer: Cohesity
Coach Volunteer: Jack Nagle
Sports Volunteer: Michele Fogal
Law Enforcement Volunteer: Cristal Sanchez
Schools Volunteer: Joey Stein
Healthy Athletes Volunteer: Beth Lannon
Rookie Volunteer: Christina Bacci
Youth Volunteer: Maxwell Green
Since March and also due to COVID-19, SONC has initiated a number of virtual programs and resources for children and adults with intellectual disabilities and their communities, as in-person events have been suspended through the end of the year. For more information about SONC's current programs and to support the organization, visit SONC.org.

The school synthetic turf wars
Earlier this year, the Middle School Building Committee in North Haven, Connecticut, voted unanimously to install two new artificial-turf fields at a cost of more than $2 million. After a series of public meetings, some phone calls to experts, and a little debate, the committee had decided the easy maintenance of artificial turf outweighed the alleged but unproven health risks for students who play on it. Just in case, committee members opted for the less controversial encapsulated crumb-rubber infill over the traditional crumb rubber option.
"I felt confident that the material had been studied many times, in many different places, in many different ways and it was a safe material," Gary Johns, the committee's chair, told me last month.
But some parents in town weren't convinced. Amanda Gabriele had heard of a supposed link between crumb rubber and cancer and became increasingly concerned the more she read about the infill material. Soon after the fields were approved, she—along with fellow parent Danielle Morfi and others—launched an organization called North Haven Against Shredded Tire Infill and demanded the town reconsider its decision to install a synthetic surface. Since then, Gabriele and Morfi say, NHASTI members have been told to move, sent nasty messages on social media, scorned at public meetings, and glared at in public. And they've gotten nowhere in stopping the artificial-turf fields. "Our concerns," Gabriele said, "have fallen on not only deaf ears but also aggressive ears."
More than 8,000 artificial-turf surfaces are currently in use across America, from youth sports fields to professional stadiums, according to the Synthetic Turf Council. The fields are durable, rain-resistant, and low-maintenance, and their sleek designs appeal to young athletes and their parents. But in recent years, some researchers have raised concerns about the safety of these surfaces and their infills, which are typically made from scrap tires, causing parents like Gabriele to agonize over the fields' impact on kids' health.
There is no scientific consensus on the risks of artificial turf. Some researchers are sure crumb rubber is poisoning the children who come in contact with it. Others suggest that concern is little more than media-driven hysteria. Still others believe it's too early to say for sure. The federal government has commissioned a study to address the mystery, but results could be years away.
Though some advocates have suggested a moratorium on crumb-rubber fields until the science crystallizes, the surfaces keep sprouting up across the country. That means towns and school districts like North Haven are deciding whether to install artificial turf without knowing for certain if they risk poisoning their children by doing so.
Artificial turf first entered the national spotlight in 1966, when it was installed at the Astrodome, then the brand-new home of Major League Baseball's Houston Astros. Versions of that original AstroTurf surface soon spread throughout professional baseball, until about a third of the 30 MLB teams played on artificial surfaces. By the time natural grass returned to favor in baseball during the 1990s and 2000s due to pushback from players, synthetic turf had spread to football fields and soccer pitches—not only at the professional level but also in youth and college sports. The fields were expensive to install but could be cheaper to maintain than natural grass if managed properly. As children played more and more sports and fields were forced to withstand more and more wear, towns saw artificial turf as a sensible investment.
Researchers have examined numerous potential dangers of synthetic turf, from increased concussion risk to overheating in the summer to spikes in ACL tears and staph infections. But the concern that has garnered the most attention is the unproven but nevertheless alarming link between crumb-rubber infill—the granular used-tire material that serves as cushioning on synthetic turf—and cancer.
Crumb rubber emerged in the early 2000s as a softer, bouncier alternative to previous generations of artificial turf, while serving as a convenient way for the tire industry to dispose of waste material. Soon, it was a regular part of not only turf fields but also playgrounds across the country.
The idea of filling children's fields and playgrounds with tire waste raised alarm among researchers almost immediately, but the crumb-rubber debate didn't hit the mainstream until 2014, when NBC News reported on a suspicious cancer cluster in Washington state. A local college-soccer coach, Amy Griffin, had observed that numerous players, particularly goalkeepers, had come down with blood cancers such as lymphoma and leukemia after playing on surfaces with crumb-rubber infills. She theorized that the black bits of scrap tire the players were constantly diving into (not to mention inhaling or even swallowing) were causing them to get sick.
But this past January, the Washington State Department of Health published a study suggesting that the rate of cancer among Griffin's players was comparable to that for Washington State as a whole. The study concluded that there was currently no evidence that crumb rubber contained enough carcinogenic chemicals to endanger those who play on it, while leaving the door open for future research to the contrary.
As the director of Penn State's Center for Sports Surface Research, Andrew McNitt has reviewed and conducted extensive research on synthetic turf. He cautions that the surfaces can overheat on hot days and become dangerously hard if not properly maintained. But he simply hasn't seen evidence to support claims about cancer. "There are problems with synthetic turf, but I have no problem with my kids, my grandkids playing on it," he told me. "Crumb rubber is really not a concern to me."
(McNitt's center is underwritten by FieldTurf, an artificial turf company, but he says he has no contractual relationship with the firm, that he has been funded throughout his career by both synthetic- and natural-turf interests and that his loyalty is, above all, to the truth. The arrangement underscores how difficult it can be to tease out industry's role in shaping the conversation about turf.)
But plenty of researchers and advocates disagree entirely with McNitt's view of artificial turf. Nancy Alderman, the president of Environment and Human Health, Inc., a nonprofit environmental-health advocacy group, insists the crumb-rubber debate is far from settled. She refers to a letter written by the EHHI toxicologist David Brown and the Brown University professor emeritus Richard W. Clapp that claims the state of Washington presented "invalid and misleading" calculations, failed to account for length of exposure and latency period of cancer, and misrepresented its scope.
In fact, Alderman says the EHHI will soon release a report poking holes in nearly two dozen studies that failed to find danger in synthetic-turf fields. For affirmative evidence that artificial surfaces are treacherous, she cites a 2015 EHHI/Yale study that found 96 chemicals in crumb-rubber fields—half of which had never been tested by the government and 12 of which were known carcinogens—and posits that those figures alone should scare districts away from synthetic turf. (Others would argue that the presence of carcinogens doesn't alone constitute a danger as long as the quantity is not too high.)
Alderman, who spoke at a school-board meeting in North Haven earlier this year, feels that even the encapsulated crumb rubber the town plans to install comes with issues. The material, she notes, has never been suitably tested; she worries that, with enough wear, the plastic coating could break down to expose the potentially hazardous crumb rubber. "Our position has always been—and it has not changed—that there is no safer material for students, athletes, and children to play on than grass," she said.
Uncertainty about the safety of artificial-turf fields was the impetus for the ongoing federal-government study, which was announced in February 2016, after Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal, of Connecticut, and Bill Nelson, of Florida, called for the Obama administration to initiate a review of the issue. "There are serious and alarming questions that need to be answered," Blumenthal said recently in a phone interview. "There has been research on both sides, and the point is to have the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which has an official responsibility, determine the safety and health effects."
But with a new administration in office, Blumenthal said he's not confident the study will become public too soon. "I have no clear sense of what the deadline may be," he said. According to a spokesperson for the Environmental Protection Agency, which is involved in the study, "EPA and CDC/ATSDR are currently visiting a small number of fields to collect exposure information to better characterize people's exposure to tire crumbs. A peer-reviewed report summarizing study results will be published as soon as possible after the exposure characterization part of the study concludes."
Gabriele views the crumb-rubber issue as deeply personal. When she was pregnant with her daughter Alice, now 7, she worked in a factory that produced trophies featuring plates made from used tires. After Alice was born and diagnosed with a condition called craniosynostosis—which causes abnormal skull growth and can affect brain development—doctors theorized that Gabriele's exposure to the tire waste might have been to blame.
"We're not typically conservative people, but we've been beside a hospital bed, we've seen our kid hooked up to tubes," she explained one afternoon last month, wiping away tears as she sat alongside her husband Tim in her North Haven backyard, with the couple's two kids playing on the swing set behind them. "I'll be conservative all day over that."
Gabriele's position on artificial turf is simple: It's not worth the risk. She wonders how easier maintenance could ever justify an expensive surface that can increase ACL tears, concussions, and staph infections; overheat dangerously; and potentially release elevated levels of carcinogens into the air her kids breathe. To her, even the suggestion of a link to cancer makes the risk unwise. "Isn't the onus on them to prove to me that it's safe, instead of on me to prove to them that it's dangerous?" she said.
Presented with this argument, the North Haven Middle School Building Committee's Johns was unmoved, citing the science that informed his group's decision. "We're trying to provide athletic facilities that are up to the standards of other towns," he said.
The artificial-turf fields in North Haven are under construction now and will be ready for use by November. Gabriele and her allies have filed a petition asking for a town meeting at which residents would vote on whether to delay installation until the federal-government study is complete or to choose a new infill for the fields. If that petition is denied, Gabriele says she will reluctantly file a writ of mandamus, asking a judge to compel North Haven to grant a town meeting.
As an example of their hopes for North Haven, Gabriele points to the school system in Martha's Vineyard, just off the coast of Cape Cod, which last spring scuttled a plan for artificial-turf fields and instead invested in more attentive maintenance for its natural-grass fields.* North Haven, however, remains stubborn.
Gabriele is currently running for the school board, while Morfi, her fellow anti-turf crusader, is pursuing a spot on the finance board. The two parents say they will fight against the artificial-turf fields for as long as the town uses them. But come next month, the children of North Haven will be rolling around in crumb rubber, whether it is safe for them to do so or not. – By Alex Putterman, The Atlantic

Finland must lift arms embargo on Turkey, Ankara says
Reuters | Posted: Dec. 6, 2022, 7:21 a.m. | Updated: Dec. 6, 2022, 7:21 a.m. | 2 Min Read
ANKARA (Reuters) - Finland must lift an arms embargo on Ankara as a condition to securing support from Turkey for its NATO membership bid, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Tuesday.
Finland and Sweden both asked to join NATO this year in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but longtime member Turkey refused to endorse their request until a number of demands were met, including taking a tougher stance against Kurdish militants and removing a ban on arms sales.
While Sweden lifted the embargo in September - initially imposed by both countries in 2019 in response to Ankara's incursion against the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia - Finland has not followed suit.
"It is important that Finland's defence minister is coming to Turkey," Cavusoglu said, referring to a visit scheduled for Dec. 8. "Because there has not yet been a statement from Finland that they have lifted the arms embargo against us. We expect such a statement from them," he added.
Ankara has accused the Nordic countries, mainly Sweden, of harbouring people it considers terrorists, including members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the group accused of orchestrating a 2016 failed coup.
It has requested that Stockholm extradite a number of these people. Turkey said Sweden's extradition of a Kurdish man at the weekend was a "good start" but cautioned that more needed to be done.
Cavusoglu said on Tuesday the man was not one of those Ankara had requested from Stockholm and that people on the list still needed to be extradited and their assets seized.
Stockholm and Helsinki deny sheltering militants but have pledged to cooperate with Ankara to fully address its security concerns and also to lift arms embargoes.
NATO makes its decisions by consensus, meaning that the two Nordic nations require the approval of all 30 alliance member states. Only Turkey still stands opposed to their membership, though Hungary has also yet to ratify it.

Rest in Plaid
Miss the pre-Beatles days of pop music? Arizona Onstage's Forever Plaid is for you
By Sherilyn Forrester
Daniel Lopez, Jeremy Vega, Daniel Gilmore and Brian Levario in Forever Plaid.
Forever Plaid
Presented by Arizona Onstage Productions
8 p.m., Friday and Saturday; 3 p.m., Sunday, through Sunday, Jan. 19
The Cabaret Theatre at the Temple of Music and Art
330 S. Scott Ave.
Runs 95 minutes, with no intermission
A joyous welcome of the new year is still going strong downtown at the tiny Cabaret Theatre, and the celebration includes fireworks provided by Forever Plaid, the good-natured, enthusiastic and vocally demanding musical presented by Arizona Onstage Productions.
The show is such an upbeat, feel-good experience that you can't help but smile and savor the good vibrations as four young men get to fulfill their dream of doing the show they never got to do before they were sent to an early grave. They are generously allowed to come back to Earth for this one shot, and they make the most of it.
It's a silly convention, but it works. Maybe it feeds our own fantasies of getting that one chance we think is gone forever—before we made a choice or two that derailed a dream or buried bold hopes.
In the early 1960s, Smudge (Daniel Lopez), Sparky (Daniel Gilmore), Jinx (Brian Levario) and Francis (Jeremy Vega), bonded by their participation in the audio-visual club in high school, yearned to find an admiring audience for their tight four-part harmonies, in the tradition of the Four Freshmen and the Crew Cuts. They were nerdy, each with some sort of physical malady—Jinx is prone to nosebleeds, Frankie has asthma—and they are not sure they are any good. But they have practiced earnestly and they have dreamed big.
On their way to perform their first big show, at the airport Hilton, they are killed when their car crashes into a busload of Catholic schoolgirls on their way to see the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. (Oh, the irony.) The girls are fine, the Beatles are better and the Plaids are, well, dead.
But they have another chance, and we are there for them. Turns out it's a pretty wonderful opportunity for them and for us.
The show is a revue, written and originally directed by Stuart Ross, with songs from the era that are hard not to love: "Three Coins in a Fountain," "Moments to Remember," "Rags to Riches." Directed by Kevin Johnson, artistic director of Arizona Onstage, the guys are hard not to love as well. They are talented, but not slick. They know they have an unusual opportunity and, incredulous, they are at first tentative to embrace it. But the minute they open their mouths, we smile, and our feedback boosts their confidence. They blossom—in fits and starts, perhaps, but they grow into their dream.
Fine efforts by musical director/pianist Bill Patterson and bassist Dylan DeRobertis are indispensible and some very silly choreography by Samantha Cormier is executed by the guys with the utmost seriousness. Johnson also gives them some funny business, which supplements the string of songs, the funniest of which is probably the run-through of an entire Ed Sullivan Show episode in a little more than three minutes.
But the songs are the heart of the show, and the quartet does a really fine job. Not perfect, but really good. Of course, the setup provides built-in tolerance for a few less than harmonious moments. But unquestionably these actors get it right most of the time. And there is such a sweetness and innocence in their efforts that we are rooting for them all the way.
Their personalities are revealed as they work through the show, and there are holes in their characterizations that reflect some inadequacies in acting prowess. But they each give us a pretty clear idea of who these young men are, and their sincerity and obvious love of what they are doing translates into an irresistible charm.
The technical aspects of the show, especially the lighting and sound, are demanding, and they are executed well. The set is sufficient and unobtrusive and the tiny stage manages to hold the musicians, the boys and their escapades, except when their enthusiasm playfully spills into the audience.
Because Johnson and his crew aspire to true professionalism, I will pick on a couple of things. The costumes we see initially work well; the black trousers, subdued plaid vests and matching bow ties and white dinner jackets are perfect. But deep into the show, a box is delivered to the guys onstage in a very hokey exchange with a woman of unknown origin. In this package are the plaid sports jackets, which signify the epitome of true "Plaid-ness." Unfortunately, it is possibly the ugliest plaid ever woven. And something to remember when working with plaid—the stripes need to match, which was not the case for all the jackets handed around. After the work these guys have done, and the smartness displayed in other aspects of the production, this summoned undesirable attention. (No costume designer was noted.)
Another detail that could have addressed better was hairstyles. Wigs can be hard to deal with, if that is the way to go, but a shaved head is unquestionably not of the period.
The show also seemed a little long. It is a one-trick pony, after all, and the songs have a similar feel and energy. And although its pacing seemed fine, and the running time is just a little more than 90 minutes, it felt like just a bit too much of a good thing.
But a good thing it is. Heartfelt performances, fondly remembered—and finely rendered—songs, an infectious energy: All these are generously offered and they energize and unite a willing and receptive audience. A couple of hiccups cannot discount the fine efforts that result in terrific entertainment.
