EU Confidential Episode 26: Rebooting Brussels — #BrusselsSoWhite — David Davis's double talk
By Ryan Heath
December 15, 2017	9:47 am
To listen to the podcast now, click on the player below or click here to get it on iTunes.
Episode 26 of POLITICO's EU Confidential podcast has just been released, featuring a deep dive into the EU's capital city. We discuss how to improve Brussels as a city with regional minister Pascal Smet and debate the thorny topic of racial diversity in the EU bubble.
Brussels the "whore": There's no doubt Smet has a way with words. He compares Brussels, a city and region he hopes to transform, "with a whore, with a prostitute." He says the city is "attractive and at the same time unattractive. It's nice in its ugliness and ugly in its niceness."
Battle for Brussels: Smet casts governance reform in the city as a generational fight. The current leadership class are "dinosaurs" and act like a "junta." He wants to transform Brussels into a place where things get done quickly. "We could do so much better [but] everything is fragmented." Hear his plan to overhaul how the city is run.
Smet's city role models: Hamburg, Berlin and Vienna.
Big picture = no cars: Smet want to get rid of all private cars in 15-20 years and replace them with autonomous shared vehicles.
A deal for Eurocrats: They should be able to get all their government documents and transactions done in English but should be required to vote at both local and regional level, according to Smet.
Surreal Brussels horror stories: There's a good selection, starting with host Ryan Heath's frustration at having to send tax payments to two different Brussels communes because the border runs through his kitchen.
EU WTF moments of the week — #BrusselsSoWhite and David Davis foot-in-mouth disease: Brussels is one of Europe's most diverse cities, but the EU's decision-making elite is 99 percent white. The podcast panel ponders what that means — and asks what it feels like for people of color working in Brussels. And what, if anything, should people in the EU bubble do about it? Meanwhile the U.K. Brexit secretary is told to think through the reality that everyone in Brussels speaks English, and remember it when he plays to his Brexit base at home.

Africa Media Review for May 3, 2018
Militants Attack Libyan Election Commission, 14 Killed
Islamic State suicide bombers attacked Libya's election commission in the capital on Wednesday, killing at least 14 people in the worst such attack in years that aimed to disrupt a nation-wide vote planned for later this year. The two bombers infiltrated the building in central Tripoli and fired on people inside, then detonated their explosives when their ammunition ran out, IS said in a statement circulated by its affiliated Amaq news agency. The Health Ministry earlier said the attack also set fire to the building, which could be seen in online videos showing thick black smoke billowing upward and security forces engaging in a gun battle. IS and other Islamic extremists in Libya oppose democratic elections, which the United Nations and Libya's foreign backers are urging to take place this year despite security problems in the oil-rich North African country. Militants have often targeted elections in other countries, and IS has called for attacks on voting infrastructure in Libya. AP
Nigeria Mosque Attack Death Toll Rises to 86
Eighty-six people were killed in a double suicide bombing in northeast Nigeria, gravediggers said. The death toll given on Wednesday was far higher than the 27 people police said had died. The Adamawa police command told Al Jazeera an additional 58 people were wounded in Tuesday's attack in the town of Mubi, which has been blamed on Boko Haram. A suicide bomber detonated explosives at a mosque during afternoon prayers. As worshippers fled, a second bomber exploded a device about 200 metres away. Al Jazeera
Suspected Jihadists Kill at Least 16 Tuaregs in Northern Mali
Suspected Islamist militants killed at least 16 Tuareg civilians in attacks in northern Mali, just days after 40 Tuaregs were killed during similar raids on neighboring villages, local authorities said on Wednesday. The attacks occurred on Tuesday in the village of Tindibawen, 160 km (100 miles) east of the town of Menaka near the border with Niger, and in a nearby village, Menaka Mayor Nanout Kotia told Reuters. Local lawmaker Bajan Ag Hamatou said 16 Tuareg civilians had been killed in the attack. The MSA-GATIA, a Tuareg militia coalition in northern Mali, said jihadists had executed 17 civilians, including elderly people burnt alive in their homes. Reuters
Death Toll from CAR Sectarian Violence Rises to 19
Central African Republic's president on Wednesday declared three days of mourning as the death toll from renewed sectarian violence in the capital rose to 19, with nearly 100 others wounded. New details emerged of an attack on a church that was targeted Tuesday along with mosques and health facilities in Bangui's PK5 and Fatima neighborhoods, with a priest among the dead. President Faustin Touadera promised justice, saying the perpetrators and their accomplices would be found and prosecuted. Until then, he called for restraint. VOA
South Sudanese President Appoints New Army Chief
South Sudan President Salva Kiir has appointed General Gabriel Jok Riak as the country's new army chief of staff. Riak, according a decree issued on Wednesday, succeeds General James Ajongo Mawut who died last month. The order of appointment came into effect in a decree Kiir issued on 2 May. Riak, who hails from South Sudan's Jonglei state, briefly served as the acting army chief of staff after the position recently became vacant. A former deputy army chief of staff, Riak also served as sector commander in Bahr el Ghazal region before moving to the general headquarters for top level assignment at command leadership.

Libyan Commander Haftar Faces Torture Allegation in French Lawsuit
A lawsuit has been filed in France against Libyan army commander Khalifa Haftar alleging torture and barbarism, the plaintiff's lawyer in France, Rachel Lindon, said on Wednesday. The suit, which aims to get the French government to open an investigation into operations by Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA), was filed last month on behalf of a Canadian-Libyan living in Canada. Several members of the plaintiff's family were killed during a three-year LNA campaign to take control of Benghazi, Libya's second city. Reuters
Algeria Summons Moroccan Ambassador
Algeria summoned the Moroccan ambassador late Wednesday to protest accusations that Algiers had helped facilitate alleged Iranian support for the separatist Polisario Front. Speaking to Algeria's official news agency APS, Algerian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Abdulaziz bin Ali al-Sharif said Moroccan ambassador Hasan Abdulhalik was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. Sharif said the ambassador was informed that the Algerian government completely rejects "untrue statements" made Tuesday by Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita which were indirectly attributed to Algeria. Anadolu Agency
Somalia Must Speed Overhaul of Fragile Army to Face Militants, Say Donors
Somalia should accelerate reforms of its army, its main foreign backers said on Wednesday after discussing slow progress in transforming the graft-ridden force into one capable of fighting al Qaeda-linked al Shabaab militants. The statement from a donor summit in Brussels urged Somalia to work faster to address problems identified in a report last year by the government, the United Nations and the African Union (AU). That report called the Somali National Army (SNA) a "fragile force with extremely weak command and control", and comes as AU peacekeepers prepare for their departure in 2020, leaving the local military in charge of Somalia's security. Reuters
How Will the Somalia-UAE Diplomatic Row Affect AMISOM?
In early April, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stopped its capacity building support for security institutions and humanitarian aid to Somalia. This was due to growing diplomatic disputes between the two countries. The move comes at a time when the international community, in the form of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), is considering its exit by 2020/21. How will the UAE's withdrawal of its support affect AMISOM's exit strategy? AMISOM has been in Somalia since 2007 with the mandate to support the government in restoring peace and stability. It does this by building the capacity of state security bodies and reducing security threats posed by al-Shabaab and other militant groups. AMISOM has worked in collaboration with other bilateral and multilateral bodies such as the UAE. Daily Maverick
UN Official: UN Backs Talks, Not Elections in South Sudan
The United Nations opposes a plan by South Sudan's government to move to elections if warring parties are unable to reconcile differences at peace talks now scheduled to start May 17, the U.N.'s deputy peacekeeping chief said Wednesday. Bintou Keita, who recently returned from South Sudan and Ethiopia, told reporters that high-level shuttle diplomacy is taking place to try to reduce the gap between the parties and improve prospects for success at talks that been delayed three times since April 26. She said it was "wise" for the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, a regional group known as IGAD, to delay resuming the High-Level Revitalization Forum in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa and acknowledge that the parties are "so far apart that there is a need to have some kind of homework" first rather than "ticking a box and saying we have had a meeting." AP
Sudan Says Evaluating Participation in Yemen's War
The Defence Ministry on Wednesday said it is assessing the participation of the Sudanese troops in the Saudi-led war against the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen. Speaking to reporters at the parliament on Wednesday, the State Defence Minister Ali Mohamed Salim said his ministry is currently evaluating pros and cons of the participation in the Yemen war in order to decide on it soon. He added the assessment is being carried out by the Defence Ministry and the General Staff of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF), pointing out that the evaluation covers several aspects of the participation in the war. Sudan Tribune
Sudan Shuts 13 Diplomatic Missions, Cut Staff over Economic Conditions
President Omar al-Bashir has ordered the closure of 13 Sudanese overseas missions and job cuts at the foreign ministry due to an economic crisis in his country, state media reported Thursday. Bashir's order comes days after he fired Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour after he said Sudanese diplomats abroad had not been paid for months. "President Omar al-Bashir issued a decree ordering the closing of 13 Sudanese diplomatic missions," the official SUNA news agency reported early Thursday, quoting the decree. It did not name which missions were to be shuttered. Daily Sabah
'Joyce Banda Still under Probe,' Says Malawi Anti-Graft Body
Malawi's anti-corruption agency says that newly-returned former president Joyce Banda was still under investigation over the massive graft scandal that erupted while she was in office. Banda returned to Malawi at the weekend after four years of self-imposed exile, saying she had done nothing wrong and had no fear of being arrested. But Malawi's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) dismissed claims that she had been cleared of all allegations over the "Cashgate" scandal, in which officials siphoned off millions of dollars of public money. "This is not true," ACB director general Reyneck Matemba told Wednesday's Nation newspaper. AFP
Madagascar Army Calls for End to Political Crisis
Madagascar's defence minister has appealed to warring political parties to reach an agreement, as anti-government protests in the capital continued for a twelfth day. President Hery Rajaonarimampianina has refused to yield to opposition demands that he resign, seven months ahead of a general election. The opposition accuses the government of trying to elbow them out of the race, through new electoral laws they claim benefit the incumbent. "We, the law enforcement officials, call loud and clear for the leaders of the political parties involved in the current crisis to be responsible and find a solution as soon as possible," said Defence Minister, General Beni Xavier Rasolofonirina. AFP
Uhuru Promises 'A New Kenya' in National Address
Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta has reaffirmed his commitment to national unity following his decision to work with opposition leader Raila Odinga two months ago. In his 5th State Of The Nation address to the joint National Assembly and Senate on Wednesday, President Kenyatta conceded that last year's elections divided the country down the middle and threatened national unity. He said that the various political leaders failed in their duty to preserve the unity of the country and they must now make amends. The East African
'I Printed More Money to Save Mugabe from a Coup,' Says Ex-Central Bank Chief
Zimbabwe's former central bank governor Gideon Gono says he printed more money during his tenure to prevent a coup by "hungry soldiers". According to the privately owned Standard newspaper, Gono, who spoke during a business conference in Chinhoyi last week, said that he was forced to print more money in a desperate attempt by then president Robert Mugabe's government to prevent a coup by "hungry soldiers". Gono said that although he was aware that the move would trigger hyper-inflation, it had to be done to prevent an insurgence from hungry soldiers. He said that the cash was used to appease the troops. "If we had not done what we did printing money and allowing inflation to skyrocket, then the men and women you see in those beautiful uniforms, they were ready to get out of their barracks." News 24
The Challenge for Ethiopia's New Leader: Unleash the Economy
Ethiopia's new leader faces a critical decision on whether to open up parts of the Horn of Africa nation's booming economy after making moves to reduce the stake of the military, former Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said. Premier Abiy Ahmed inherited what the International Monetary Fund ranks as Africa's fastest-growing economy when he took office in early April. But he also confronts the biggest challenges to the ruling coalition's power in a quarter-century as sporadic unrest against its authoritarian rule and inter-communal violence threaten the federal structure of Ethiopia, a U.S. ally in its battle against Islamist militants in the region.

No Gold Rush for South Sudan
Mining for gold is the only source of income for many people living in the eastern part of South Sudan.

The mission of the Nehru Trust for the Indian Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum (NTICVA) is to encourage the study, preservation and display of India's art and cultural heritage.
The Trust aims to achieve its mission by making it possible for scholars and professionals from India and the UK to develop and share skills relevant to these subjects and to gain access to Indian cultural resources both in India and in the UK.
The mission of the Nehru Trust for the Indian Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum is to encourage the study, preservation and display of India's art and cultural heritage.
The Nehru Trust for the Indian Collections at the V&A (NTICVA) was constituted in India in 1990, as part of a project to make the Indian collections at London's Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) more generally accessible. The creation of the Nehru Gallery of Indian Art at the V&A in London was a key part of the same project.
The NTICVA was settled by its founder Chairman, the late Hon. Justice R. S. Pathak, and the programme of the Trust was made possible by generous donations from the following philanthropic individuals and organisations, to whom the Trustees of both the NTICVA and the V&A are very grateful.
The Jain Art Fund at the Victoria and Albert Museum wishes to enable scholars and professionals from India and the UK to develop and share skills and to gain access to scholarly material relevant to the study, display and conservation of Jain art.
Working in collaboration with the NTICVA, the fund supports an annual awards programme to carry out research or undertake training in both India and the UK relevant to the Jain tradition.
The Jain Art Fund at the Victoria and Albert Museum's mission is to encourage the study, preservation and display of the art and cultural heritage of the Jain religious tradition.
The Jain Art Fund was set up at the V&A at the time of the V&A's exhibition Jain Art from India in 1995 as part of an ongoing project to increase understanding of the Jain religion and its artistic and cultural heritage. The V&A continues actively to work with a number of Jain organisations in the UK, in particular the Institute of Jainology, and maintains an advisory board for this purpose.
Study of Indian Art in India
A number of major organisations are responsible for India's artistic and cultural heritage, including the Archaeological Survey of India, the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage. India has many hundreds of museums, the oldest of which is The Indian Museum Kolkata, founded in 1814.

Dedicated chef shortlisted for prestigious Welsh award for care
He has been shortlisted for the Excellence in Catering Award, sponsored by HC-One.
By InYourArea Community
Written by Claire Garner Edited by Sarah Leonard
From construction to cookery, Jamie Farrell from Cardiff proves there's no limit to his success.
Now in the running for a prestigious award, Jamie has been recognised for his efforts as head chef at Quarry Hall Care Home in Rumney, St Mellons.
With a dedicated kitchen staff of 10 under his supervision, Jamie cooks up over 300 meals a day for residents across each of Quarry Hall's four residential communities.
"I suppose I was thrown in at the deep end. But I fell in love with it right away. As I progressed I eventually got all my catering qualifications."
It is this dedication to his caring role that has landed 30-year-old Jamie a place in the final of major national competition, the 2019 Wales Care Awards.
The presentation ceremony will be held at City Hall in Cardiff on Friday, October 18.
Originally from Solihull in Birmingham, Jamie left a local high school at 16 to begin a construction course at Solihull College, West Midlands.
But when he took a part-time job in a restaurant at Birmingham Airport he became so hooked on the food business that he decided not to go ahead with a life in the building trade.
It was another type of love affair that brought Jamie out of his native Midlands and into Wales when he met his wife-to-be while on holiday in Spain.
They got together and, as Kerry is a Cardiff girl, decided to move to the city 11 years ago.
He is friendly, approachable and supportive to his team and this enables him to bring out the best in them.
Jamie was eventually appointed head chef at Quarry Hall in 2015.
The home supports residents with nursing and residential needs for general and dementia care.
HC-One area director, Jacqueline Orrells nominated Jamie for the award: "He leads his team by example and gives guidance on his expectations of the quality of the food and presentation."
On being shortlisted for the award, Jamie said: "I love my job and of all the ones I've had I know this is the one for me - much more so than construction.
"If I win it would be a fantastic achievement not just for me but for my team and Quarry Hall."
The Wales Care Awards recognise the dedication of care providors across Wales.
Jamie is looking forward to attending the award ceremony on Friday, October 18 with his wife, Kerry.

Proposals to allow trainee pharmacists to qualify via a five-year apprenticeship scheme have sparked controversy as the profession sought clarity on their nature and potential implications.
The proposals were the subject of a 10-day consultation launched by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education that ended yesterday (Sunday April 14) and began to receive widespread attention around the middle of last week. The IATE describes itself as an "executive non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Education" that works with companies to address "skills gaps".
The IATE said the ideas it was consulting on had first been put forward by the Pharmacy Apprenticeship Trailblazer Group, an "employer-led" organisation.
The proposed Level 7 60-month apprenticeship scheme would be an alternative route to the standard model of a four-year university degree followed by a year-long pre-registration placement.
Any such scheme would have to meet the GPhC's learning outcomes and standards in order to be fully accredited and any trainees would have to pass the regulator's registration exam, though some have argued that employers would have undue influence on entry standards and course content.
It is understood that some of the large pharmacy multiples have been involved with the trailblazer group. Company Chemists' Association chief executive Malcolm Harrison said that "some" CCA members had been involved "alongside hospital employers, other community pharmacy employers and pharmaceutical employers".
The consultation document claims that "the professional body" helped develop the proposals, which triggered social media speculation that the Royal Pharmaceutical Society had played a central role in the process.
The RPS issued a statement on Friday April 12 refuting these claims, saying it had "not contributed to the pharmacy degree apprenticeship trailblazer up to now".
"We were notified by the trailblazer group that they were exploring this recently," the RPS commented, adding that it would be "feeding in our views at the appropriate time to make sure the profession's voice is heard" and that it wished to take pharmacists' views on board.
The GPhC said it had not been involved with the trailblazer group or contributed to the proposals but had "attended two meetings to explain regulatory requirements in our role as the pharmacy regulator". In its consultation response the GPhC called on the IATE to "hold a further and more detailed consultation for a longer period" if the proposals move forward.
The IATE proposals sparked intense social media debate over the past week, in addition to apparent confusion over the history of the proposals.
Many argued that apprenticeship schemes could give employers too much influence in professional development and employment, and it could also give rise to inconsistencies in educational and training standards. Others felt it would be a welcome addition to the entry pathway for pharmacists.
In its statement the RPS said the "degree apprenticeship approach is also being take by other healthcare professions and has been successful in areas such as engineering improving the number of people able to access the degree".
The Pharmacists' Defence Association encouraged pharmacists to reject the proposals, saying apprenticeship schemes would be "controlled by employers" and would "shift the profession away from a professional university-led model to a model traditionally associated with technical occupations".
One of the key drivers behind the scheme appears to be a Government apprenticeships levy introduced in 2017. The levy requires employers with a wage bill of over £3m per year to pay 0.5 per cent of their full pay bill, minus an apprenticeship allowance of £15,000 that must be spent on apprenticeship training and assessment.
The basic minimum wage under the scheme is £3.90 per hour. For individuals aged 19 and above who have completed the first year of an apprenticeship scheme, their age-appropriate minimum wage is due (£5.90 per hour for 18-20 year olds; £7.38 for 21-24 year olds; and £7.83 for people aged 25 and over).

Everyone in the world agrees that Manchester United's David De Gea is one of the world's finest goalkeeper. The Spaniard has booked 14 clean sheets and produced 80 saves this season so far. He reached his100th clean sheet in September last year when his team outclassed Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford. The Red Devil fans have come to a point where they probably can't imagine the life without De Gea between the sticks.
De Gea has repeatedly insisted that he is happy at Manchester United, but, nothing is certain, given that he almost secured his move to Real Madrid in 2015, before the transfer was annulled due to the late documents sent by Manchester United on transfer deadline day.
Therefore, Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is considering several potential replacements, in case the former Atletico Madrid stopper leaves Old Trafford one day.
The Portuguese tactician wants a well-reputed goalkeeper with an extensive experience such as Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois (who is also being chased by Real Madrid) and Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak. But, the most realistic option is, suprisignly, Bayern Munchen's Manuel Neuer, according to Don Balon.
The 32-year-old German keeper is also dubbed as one of the most talented stoppers in Europe. Unfortunately, the former Schalke 04 ace has only appeared four times this season because of his left-foot fracture that forced him to be sidelined since September 2017. He is expected to recover in January 2018, but Die Rotten has yet to tell a specific date when the goalkeeper will be back in action.
Neuer is still optimistic he can recover and play for the 2014 World Cup defending champions in the upcoming World Cup in Russia and his team before this season ends.
"I expect to be walking at up to 90 percent without any problems next week, and then be up to 100 percent the week after, then I'll slowly start running. My walking profile is pretty good, and I'm not feeling any pain," Neuer told Bundesliga.
Neuer has earned 74 caps with German national team.

Q: Web client events handling design Good day,
This is more web service design than programming question I think. I'll try to explain what I want to achieve. In example I have a 3 combo boxes(e.g. size, color, texture) on the page which are dependent on each other. We can select them only in turns(eg. 1st->2nd->3rd). After selecting combo box value, next combo box gets populated+enabled and we are able to select from it too.
I came up with a few solutions which I can apply for this problem.

*

*Is when we come to the page and loaded JavaScript sends a post with a request for data to populate those combo boxes. The response returned is a batch data of all variants(JSON) is parsed and handled by JavaScript with every selection client does.

*Page is loaded with only first combo box and the remaining ones gets filled with the default values. Every time client selects a value, appropriate event(ajax which leads to post get) is fired to fill/handle next combo boxes dependent on selections.

Myself I see that first one is quite complicated and the batch value can be very big in terms if there are lots of selection variations for each of the value. And the second one seems does too many useless requests to the server which I think can lead to server overload. What do you think of these solutions? Does the concept is okey? And is it worth to implement first solution instead of second one even it is harder?
If something you do not understand in my explanation please ask I'll try to explain in more detail.

A: I agree that pre-fetching everything is not a scalable solution, at some point there could be an unreasonable amount of data to fetch.
The second solution of incrementally fetching data seems most common in my experience. I suppose that by "useless requests" you mean you're concerned with repeatedly fetching the same data if the user back-tracks and then reselects.
To address problem that I've used various caching techniques to optimise that behaviour.
I would say that a succession of drop down boxes may not be the best UI. Some frameworks (eg. dojo) have tree widgets, like those you would use to navigate a directory structure. I think you might find that approach would look better, and it's nicely extensible to beyond three levels of hierarchy.

IthacAid XI Rocks in Bailey Hall
By wpengine | October 29, 2001
Cornell's Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) and Chi Omega chapters sponsored the 11th annual IthacAid Benefit on Saturday evening at Bailey Hall.
Students, parents and faculty attended this night of song, dance and comedy benefiting The Alzheimer's Association.
Created by TKE in 1991, IthacAid was conceived and implemented as a philanthropic project to benefit a charitable cause. The proceeds of past IthacAids have supported The Special Olympics, however, this year's proceeds will benefit The Alzheimer's Association in recognition of President Ronald Regan. A TKE alumnus, President Regan currently suffers from Alzheimers.
Though past IthacAids have seen audiences as large 1,500 persons and proceeds as high as $5,000, Saturday's event hosted a smaller audience and generated an estimated $3,000. Nonetheless, Scott Mayer '03, the vice president of TKE and IthacAid co-coordinator, said he was not necessarily disappointed with the event's turn-out or with the proceeds that it generated.
"Considering that there was a [Cornell] hockey game, a Rusted Root concert at Ithaca College, and a World Series game that night, I was rather pleased [with the evening's results]," he commented. "I think the concert, itself, was the best concert we have ever had. The quality and variety was superb … [The show] went on without a hitch."
The program, which lasted roughly three hours, showcased a wide variety of acts including a cappella sets, hip-hop and Indian dance, improvisational acts and comedy.
"I thought it was wonderful … I was impressed with the talent," said Rosa Bui, the mother of Chi Omega member Jojo Bui '02.
"The groups really enjoyed performing a lot," said Natalie Walleser '03, Chi Omega's co-coordinator of the event. "The concert was successful in that the audience really enjoyed the groups performing and we raised money for a very good cause.
The performances seemed to be well-received by the audience. "I thought it was great … I came out really enjoying it," said Sam Dogra '02 of the concert in general and the Cayuga's Waiters performance in particular.
"The Skits-O-Phrenics were … witty and original as usual, and the "Thriller" performance [by the dance group, Shadows] was impressive," said Joanna Eng '05.
Headed by Mayer and Walleser, the planning and preparations for this year's IthacAid began as early as April of this year and continued through the event itself.
"There are a lot of details that you wouldn't really think of," said Walleser. However, she addded that, "people are willing to help out because they are familiar with how the event works," referring to the many years that Chi Omega and TKE have sponsored IthacAid together. Walleser concluded, "I was happy to actually see the performances after all of these months [of preparation]," while Mayer could not help but express his sentiments of "relief" at the evening's conclusion.
Expressing their gratitude in the event's program, Chi Omega, TKE and the Alzheimer's Association thank all those that attended IthacAid and who supported the evening's cause.

Fewer Students Going To Eat at Okenshield's
By wpengine October 30, 2001
Okenshield's, the popular eatery in Willard Straight Hall, may face a cut in hours due to operational cost losses. Okenshield's has continually lost "counts," or number of students eating at the dining hall, according to Martin Orlando, general manager of Central Campus for Cornell Dining. If necessary, Cornell Dining may compensate for the decrease in revenues by eliminating Friday night dinner, Sunday brunch and Sunday dinner at Okenshield's, times when Orlando says there are "very, very low counts." Although the exact amount of money lost is very difficult to estimate, Orlando said that overall costs — including food, labor, and utilities — certainly exceed what students pay per meal. Orlando said the North Star dining hall has had a negative effect on Okenshield's business. He said, "A lot of counts are going that way. Students have one more option for their meals." In addition, students have requested that Hughes Dining be expanded. With the costs of opening North Star and the possibility of longer hours at Hughes, there may not be enough money to keep Okenshield's current hours. If the cuts do occur, Orlando said, Cornell Dining will probably implement some changes to make up for the lost hours. One option is to allow students to use a regular meal, rather than a meal equivalency, in the Ivy Room when Okenshield's is closed. The regular meal option in the Ivy Room would be a meal deal such as that offered in Hughes, not to be confused with a meal equivalency. It is not all-you-care-to-eat but typically includes a drink, an entr
C.U., I.C. Activists Keep Eyes Trained on School of Americas
More than 50 students and local activists, about one-fourth of them from Cornell, held a nonviolence training retreat last weekend to prepare for the upcoming protests over the School of the Americas (SOA), a U.S.-run training center for Latin American militaries in Ft. Benning, Ga. The so-called "convergence," sponsored by the Ithaca Catholic Worker and the Committee for U.S. and Latin American Relations (CUSLAR), is held before the Close the SOA protests each fall to teach activists about civil disobedience. Training events were held at a local Unitarian church on Friday, and the activities on Saturday took place in Anabel Taylor Hall. "We had a four-hour nonviolence training [session] that included discussions about the history of nonviolence in addition to role-plays that helped each participant decide ahead of time how they would react when confronted with potentially violent or confrontational situations," said Marcie Ley, CUSLAR coordinator. The widely publicized protests will take place Nov. 16-18. The SOA, recently renamed the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, is a target for groups such as SOA Watch, an organization founded in 1990 to inform the public about the school and other anti-globalization organizations. A major part of the worldwide peace movement, the protests routinely draw the attention of Congress and many outspoken Hollywood celebrities — including actor Martin Sheen and folk singer Pete Seeger. However, the demonstration will take on added emphasis subsequent to the mobilization of the U.S. military in its attack on Afghanistan. "While we realize that our desire to promote peace and justice for all people may not be a popular stance during these times of international conflict, we recognize the enduring validity of our right to express our views," Ley said. "In the face of increased repression of dissent, both on this campus and throughout the country, we feel it is even more important to organize around this worthwhile cause and make our voices heard," she said. Grace Ritter, of Ithaca College's SOA Watch chapter, helped organize the training event last weekend. "Every year we have nonviolence training to get everyone on the same page," Ritter said. "I think it was successful." According to Ritter, activities over the weekend included workshops on street theater, music and media in addition to the nonviolence training. "We feel that not only are we trying to protest the things we see as wrong, but we also want to create and bring a positive message," she said. There are already several events planned for the upcoming protests in Georgia, including a vigil outside the gates of the SOA. "In the past, we have always had a big rally on Saturday with lots of speakers, people who have had experience with SOA, who have been tortured," Ritter said. "The next day there has always been a funeral procession where people participating risk arrest by crossing onto the base to speak for the voiceless in Latin America." However, she said, the funeral procession will be different this year because Ft. Benning is now a closed base. Ley said the event last weekend was worthwhile and will lead to a successful protest next month. "Those of us who attended the convergence are certainly well-prepared for the trip to Georgia as well as for future advocacy and lobbying," she said.Archived article by Andy Guess

Q: Angular 1.2.17 -> 1.2.18: ng-transclude within ng-repeat, scope differences I'm in the process of upgrading from angularJs 1.2.17 to 1.2.18 and there is some change that is breaking one of the ways that we are using angular. I have been able to reproduce the problem with a jsFiddle.
Are we doing something wrong? Is there a small adjustment that will make the example work with angular 1.2.18?

The small spaces award is for the best small garden project. We were looking for an area that has been transformed into an inspiring mini garden, wherever that may be. In the past we've had balconies, an allotment patch, a holiday caravan plot and even a narrow boat roof! The small spaces category is an opportunity to be creative and use space cleverly.
All the shortlisted 2018 Small Spaces have been listed at the bottom of the page.
The judges loved how much this group had achieved in a short amount of time (the project began in April this year). They liked how colourful and inviting the garden was and that so many different groups of people, including local schools, toddler groups, and community members, had been involved. The judges were also impressed that the project was entirely self-funded by community event days like "Bake to Bloom" involving a big cake sale that raised over £400 for the project.
This project has clearly brightened up the side of the local church that had been left untouched for over 70 years.
The judges found it so difficult to choose winners from the many amazing projects that were on entered. A big thank you for entering - please don't hesitate to get in touch for feedback.
The St John's Church Messy Tots pre school group are delighted to have been chosen as the winners of this years Small Spaces Category, it was a lot of work completed in a very short period of time by a handful of committed group leaders, pre- school children and their parents/ carers. The concept, design and final management of the project was the work of the churches Children and Youth Minister Janette Thomas and her husband Phil. Unfortunately this was not part of the project which involved the local schools. The ground had been well tended and planted over the years but had fallen into neglect and was raised completely a few years ago. The children will be very excited to hear that they have won, the geranium plants and £500 will certainly enable the group to renovate the garden and re- invent it in line with the seasons and to keep it blooming for the community to enjoy for some considerable time.
A big well done Janette, the judges were very impressed with the transformation in such a short amount of time. We hope you will enjoy the prize money and continue to make the area look fabulous. We will be in touch with James about prizes.

The march to delete the internet of the 2000s seems to be moving along much faster than the march to make today's internet a better place.
Continuando de imprensa e falta de confiança, e de não podermos voltar atrás no digital publishing online.
Iniciámos este registo antes de mais uma plataforma web (case-in-point: Tumblr) ameaçar cessar funções ou alterar as condições de serviço. Uma história que se repete, e da shitstorm de hoje entre aqueles que ainda utilizavam este serviço - particularmente popular entre autores de bd - resumimos ao resumo do Buzzfeed.
This is not the beginning of the end of the internet as we know it. That began years ago.
The internet culture of the 2000s has been dying off for years, and the march to the digital grave is speeding up. Today, Tumblr announced it will ban all adult content starting in two weeks. This will kill a small but significant chunk of the internet.
There are also real-world consequences, though much more subtle, to the wholesale deletion of the recent past on the internet. Our digital lives are our real lives, and digital culture is real culture. When we lose that, we lose whole communities, friendships, methods of communication, jokes, and artifacts.
When the web exploded into being, it promised to democratise publishing more than anything before. Which it did. And it was incredibly exciting. As well as the authoritative publications we had come to know and trust, for the first time ordinary people could also publish, with an incredibly low barrier to entry.
The traditional publishers have engaged in a race to the bottom. Rather than committing to quality journalism, which was their job, they have chosen to pursue clickbait headlines. We can no longer trust the traditional publications as much as we should be able to — largely because they have demonstrated they are not as trustworthy as they were meant to be.
Meanwhile everyday bloggers have largely given up. People are now most likely to publish on a platform like Facebook or Medium, where our content is algorithmically filtered and mangled.
Though once reviled, dancing baby .GIFs and elements seem like high art compared to the click-bait, the passionate-yet-incomprehensible comment wars, and the desperate attempts of corporations to look "hip". We'd be hard-pressed to look around and say, "Yes, this really is better." It's far too easy to look back and imagine that everything was better then than it is now. We miss the utopianism of the early Internet pioneers. We miss the creativity of people just learning HTML, from the days of the first pages, to the days of the customized MySpace page.
And so here we are, in a new world of our own making, and we wish we'd made it differently. Some people blame corporations, and their focus on profit over community. There are more than a few who blame social media. We could have done better. We can do better. We can make a friendlier Internet that promotes creativity. What we cannot do is go back.
We can't go back to the old Internet because we have changed. Like Adam and Eve in the proverbial garden, we now have knowledge of both the good the Internet can do, and the evil.
Communities have seen how, when there are not enough rules, or when the rules are not enforced, the loudest and most violent voices will oppress the rest. We have also seen that with too many rules, and inflexible enforcement, the bureaucrats will become the oppressors. We cannot go back to the wild west days of the Internet, because it's unlikely that most of us could ever embrace that sort of potential without the fear born of our experience.
Com esse warning aos teens, esperamos que eles não desistam - mesmo se a web do futuro arrisca-se a ser ainda pior que a presente.
It's not easy to be a platform founded on the digital free speech ideals of the early to mid-2000s in this nightmarish year of our Lord Satan, 2018.

Department of Justice Reverses Course on Class Action Waivers
Sedric Bailey, Michael Johnston, Scott Mario
King & Spalding
In the ongoing debate over whether class action waivers in employee arbitration agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"), the Department of Justice ("DOJ") has done an about-face–switching stances from pro-employee to pro-employer.
During the Obama administration, the DOJ supported the National Labor Relations Board's ("NLRB") controversial position that class action waivers in employee arbitration agreements violate Section 7 of the NLRA. This meant that in many jurisdictions, employers were prohibited from including class action waivers in their arbitration agreements. Now, six months into a new administration, the DOJ has reversed its position in a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. In an amicus brief filed last week, the DOJ argues that an employment contract that requires an employee to waive his or her right to bring a class action lawsuit does not infringe upon that employee's rights under the NLRA. Further, the DOJ argues, "Courts must enforce agreements to arbitrate federal claims unless the [Federal Arbitrati on Act]'s mandate has been overridden by a contrary congressional command or unless enforcing the parties' agreement would deprive the plaintiff of a substantial federal right."

Labor & Employment Practice Group June 28, 2017 Department of Justice Reverses Course on Class Action Waivers In the ongoing debate over whether class action waivers in employee arbitration agreements violate the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA"), the Department of Justice ("DOJ") has done an about-face–switching stances from pro-employee to pro-employer. During the Obama administration, the DOJ supported the National Labor Relations Board's ("NLRB") controversial position that class action waivers in employee arbitration agreements violate Section 7 of the NLRA. This meant that in many jurisdictions, employers were prohibited from including class action waivers in their arbitration agreements.1 Now, six months into a new administration, the DOJ has reversed its position in a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.2 In an amicus brief filed last week, the DOJ argues that an employment contract that requires an employee to waive his or her right to bring a class action lawsuit does not infringe upon that employee's rights under the NLRA. Further, the DOJ argues, "Courts must enforce agreements to arbitrate federal claims unless the [Federal Arbitration Act]'s mandate has been overridden by a contrary congressional command or unless enforcing the parties' agreement would deprive the plaintiff of a substantial federal right."3 The DOJ acknowledges that it had previously taken an opposing position but states that it "reconsidered the issue" and determined that "nothing in the NLRA's legislative history indicates that Congress intended to bar enforcement of arbitration agreements like those at issue here."4 The DOJ states further, "We do not believe that the Board in its prior unfair-labor- practice proceedings, or the government's certiorari petition in Murphy Oil, gave adequate weight to the congressional policy favoring enforcement of arbitration agreements that is reflected in the [Federal Arbitration Act]."5 Because class action waivers can be an effective tool for companies seeking to avoid burdensome class or collective action litigation, a definitive ruling by the Supreme Court that such waivers are enforceable in the employment context would be welcome news to employers across the country. We recommend that employers consult the King & Spalding labor and employment team to discuss both your current arbitration practices and the potential impact of the Supreme Court's forthcoming decision.

In some jurisdictions, this may be considered "Attorney Advertising." 1 There is currently a split among circuit courts as to whether arbitration agreement class action waivers violate the NLRA. The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Circuits have held that such agreements violate the NLRA while the Fifth and Eighth Circuits have held that they do not. 2 NLRB v. Murphy Oil USA, Inc., No. 16-307. 3 Brief for United States as Amicus Curiae Supporting Respondent at 9. 4 Id. at 10. 5 Id. at 13. Interestingly, Murphy Oil reached the Supreme Court on a certiorari petition from the NLRB on which the deputy solicitor general under the Obama administration was listed as counsel of record. In the amicus brief filed last week, the new acting solicitor general under the Trump administration is listed as counsel of record. The DOJ's decision to switch sides means that the DOJ and the NLRB will be on opposite sides when the Supreme Court hears oral argument in Murphy Oil and two consolidated cases during the October 2017 term.
