Trudeau's "feminist" Liberals side with Muslim immigrants — even if they're wife-beaters
Ezra LevantRebel Commander
As we told you earlier, a thug, Mohamed Rafia, was brought to Canada by Justin Trudeau as part of the Syrian refugee scam.
Rafia hated living in Canada. He didn't know the language, didn't like the food, didn't have any friends, didn't have a job.
So this man was convicted of beating his wife with a stick. He told the court that he just didn't know you weren't allowed to do that here.
Conservative MP Kellie Leitch tweeted about this crime:
"A battered wife and a bloodied hockey stick. That's the legacy of Trudeau's Syrian refugee program"
Not a word of that is false. But the Liberals know what side they're on:
The side of Muslim migrants, even if they're wife-beaters. So Trudeau's chief of staff replied, in part:
"It's what she believes and whom she is. History won't be kind"
History won't be kind to the woman who calls out wife-beaters? I don't get it.
And what about Ahmed Hussen, the Muslim migrant to Canada who is now our immigration minister?
He said that domestic violence is "clearly something that we abhor and we condemn" — but then Hussen added:
"What Ms. Leitch is doing is equally reprehensible because (...) he's tying that in with our refugee policy."
But it is tied to refugee policy. We're importing people from a misogynist rape culture.
And look at how he Hussen characterizes a man who beats his wife for half an hour, and a politician who tweets about that wife-beater. Are those really "equally reprehensible"?
Did Ahmed Hussen really mean that? Or is he just channeling his boss, Trudeau?
NEXT: Anti-jihad activist Pamela Geller joins me to talk about this troubling story, which sees high powered "progressive" men essentially telling women to shut up about abuse — as long as the abuser is a Muslim (and potential Liberal voter.)
THEN: Our UK Bureau Chief Tommy Robinson went head to head with Piers Morgan on national television, and the results were explosive.
Tonight, Tommy comes on my show to talk about Morgan's preference for insults rather than debate, and the positive reactions he's received from ordinary viewers about his appearance.

I like that clip of Little-Potato-Head in the mosque crooning about the diversity. One catholic and 1,000 muslims doesn't sound very diverse to me.

ITV is so embarrassed by their interview by Piers Morgan of Tommy Robinson that they've banned the video of it worldwide:

Wanda Orion commented 2017-06-21 06:48:26 -0400
Anyone who is disturbed by the Canadian political, media and other elites' ho-hum reaction to this vicious domestic assault should read the recently released book, The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam by Douglas Murray. Trudeau and his followers are taking us down the same road that Western European leaders traveled for the past 3 decades and that is now reaping them a whirlwind of wanton violence by burgeoning communities of Islamofascists who they invited in, coddled and turned loose on their bewildered citizens.
You'll see the same pattern repeating itself: Hold yourself out as a great humanitarian in order to get elected, guilt/shame anyone who questions the wisdom of your actions, ignore the deviant behaviour of your refugee props as long as you can, downplay their violent tendencies when they can't be ignored, lay on the guilt and shame if anyone asks tough questions or states the obvious. Invite even more in and repeat the cycle.
There have been enough reports now of how Trudeau's refugee program is really panning out. A lot of these people aren't adapting well, even those who were brought in and babysat by groups of well-meaning do-gooders who were supposed to help them get integrated. A recent report on this site about their impact on a Hamilton neighbourhood is an example. Canadians who have been victimized in this manner should consider legal action against the sponsors and the politicians whose self-serving behaviour has brought this on us.

Well since the libs never vetted or informed that beating his wife with a hockey stick is against the law then it is tied right to your refugee policy.

For me, as a North American observer of the news media, Piers Morgan's major claim to fame has always been his spectacular flame-out as Larry King's successor. Was his attempted hit on Tommy Robinson an effort to one-up himself?
Nice try, but no cigar.
Bill Elder—-Interesting comment suggesting Trudeau may go sooner than his daddy. For Justin to go, someone has to beat him. I don't believe Nickie Ashton or Andrew Scheer have the showboating ability to outdo Trudeau.
If Bernier started another Party, he may out perform Trudeau with strong policies, but that would just split the Center Right vote.
As you say Trudeau's gloss has worn off revealing someone weak and ineffective , however the leftest voters were never good with numbers or policies.
Deb Duffy commented 2017-06-20 22:54:20 -0400
I think the true number of patriots around the world is more than we realize. Kind of like people that kept it secret that voted for Trump. People don't want open borders and want to protect their culture and country. The problem is that people are afraid to stand up publicly because they will be called racist or Islamophobic. People lose friends, family members and jobs just for speaking out. Imagine if we truly had free speech without being condemned how many millions around the world could come together and make a change in the direction we are all headed. We can't be afraid!! The time has come to be loud and proud because the left has no idea of the danger that is coming. I'm sure they will when the women are forced to a wear burqa and have no rights and men are forced to pray five times a day and throw gays off buildings.
Carole Massé commented 2017-06-20 22:11:10 -0400
For centuries and decades, the Westerners have fought to have laws passed for justice, for protection of the weak, for the rights of everyone. This made our countries civilized. There was always a minority of people who would transgress the laws, but it was until recently a very small number. Now, old settled issues like wife beating, rape, pedophilia, violence against women, place of religion, the rights of children, freedom of expression, etc are brought up to the forefront again by a 7th c. death cult, willingly imported in our civilized country by the left. And our politicians have the audacity of defending it in the name of diversity? I am living through a nightmare. We are going backward to the Middle-Age.

I still think one of Rebel's artsy types need to re-work the Johnny Cash theme song to the TV series, The Rebel, changing Johnny Huma to Tommy Rob'son. Particularly, if I remember the verse, wandering alone without a star to do what is right.
"Tommy Rob'son was a rebel, he wandered alone…"
William Elder commented 2017-06-20 21:27:52 -0400
I think the nation will be done with this Truedough much sooner than the last one. Although Trudough the elder was a divisive and culturally malevolent force he could not shred the fabric of heartland Canada and he knew it – his walk in the snow was a surrender to the fact Canada could not be successfully "sovietized" because it's fundamental culture was too rebellious of regimes that play on the cult of personality introducing large cultural changes too quickly – they never learn, and here we are with the great tag team effort of the LPC and media again attempting to pimp another cult of personality regime with a massive cultural change agenda – this time with a weak figure head who is ideologically and conceptually dyslexic.
PM selfie in his dramatic role-playing Canadian Idol approach has twisted himself into so many positions to meet the expectations of the interest groups he was playing to at any given time he's left with a permanently bent credibility – his gloss has worn off quickly with a lot of voters who expected something Jr. could not deliver – integrity, honesty and a Canadian people's agenda.
The 8 day jail sentence, and one year probation for this assault is a very light sentence. He beat her with a hockey stick for 1/2 hour and threatened to kill her. This is definitely more reprehensible than a tweet or column.
Trudeau and his cronies have fully aligned with Islam, and, expect everyone to remember no one is to criticize Islam or the appalling abuses it's followers perpetrate. Sharia creep taking over Liberal twitter accounts!
Bruce Anderson is a hypocrite too!
Piers Morgan is probably shocked at the comments viewers posted, he obviously didn't expect to be pummeled on- line for his treatment of Tommy. Piers managed to cover the usual talking points Islam apologists are fond of using.
The British people are finally waking up Tommy, stay safe and God bless.
The hockey stick wife beater has a solid case for temporary insanity. Not knowing right and wrong, not knowing the consequences of your actions. Truedope will give him a pardon and cash settlement for his pain and suffering.
Ya Tommy, heads up. You're one in a million. Thanks. This is going to be an underground revolution, like Terminator.
Many thanks to Pamela. No comment.
Advice to all you. Pray for peace.
Thanks be to God.
Betty Power commented 2017-06-20 21:21:02 -0400
I'd hate to say what I think of Piers Morgan. He wouldn't discuss any of the concerns of the British people. It looks like Great Britain is being taken down in part by its own class system. Thanks for telling us the truth, even if it doesn't look good, Ezra.
Yes..Canadian Mongrel..without question..
Keith Barnes..maybe..you never know..It's up to Tommy.. To bad Canada has the rule of speaking French to become a PM.. I wonder how many potential great PM's that were wasted because of the language rule?..especially in this day and age..

The Don Quixote of our times!
A Great Person!
Simple rule of thumb: If someone has to keep stating ad nauseum they are one thing, then they are the exact opposite.
For example: If some male has to keep stating he is a feminist over and over again, then he is a misogynist without question.
Tommy for PM. He would sort the Muslims out and Brexit.
- Trudeau is a socialist / globalist. That means liar, hypocrite, bigot, narcissist. The word "feminist" has become dirtied beyond belief. Feminists today could care less about women, and it shows.
- Liberal supporters will never make the connection that they are saying criticizing a wife beater is as wrong as actual wife beating itself. They'll just scream their chants of "racism", "sexism", etc. Ignorance is their shield.
- What Tommy showed is just how out of touch the mainstream media is from it's audience. They block comments & spend all their time in their own echo chamber. I doubt there are many in the mainstream media who've read the Quran. Ignorance is their shield.
john ball commented 2017-06-20 20:46:25 -0400
Piers Morgan is a spineless worm. Surprised he's still showing his face. Alex Jones chased him out of America. Maybe Tommie can shut him down in the UK.
Where's the condemnation of this act from the liberal Feminist crew ? Where's the condemnation from the one who is always blurting out he's a Feminist? ?

McMahon: I will not be intimidated
Jim McMahon
A furious row has erupted on social media after accusations relating to Oldham Council's historical child safeguarding record appeared online.
Jim McMahon, the Oldham West and Royton MP has described accusations made by Raja Miah – a former CEO of a failed Free School in Chadderton – as "defamatory".
The exchange follows allegations made by Mr Miah targeting the former Council Leader, along with Chief Executive Carolyn Wilkins, Deputy Leader Arooj Shah, and current Council Leader, Sean Fielding.
On his Facebook page, Mr McMahon says "The campaign of harassment and abuse against me and those associated with me began around the time the Department for Education published its investigation report into allegations of financial and governance irregularities at the Collective Spirit Free School and Manchester Creative Studio School."
Raja Miah
Collective Spirit was opened in 2013 by Raja Miah, who was awarded the MBE for his work in the wake of the Oldham riots.
But it was dogged by controversy after it was proposed and was opposed by Oldham Council.
In 2016, Collective Spirit was placed in special measures after an Ofsted inspection found every aspect of the school to be inadequate. It was described by Jim McMahon at the time as the worst he had ever seen. He also raised concerns about the school's financial management.
The school closed in 2017.
Collective Spirit Free School closed in 2017
The MP continued "I have no doubt that the campaign of harassment and abuse is intended to intimidate me into withdrawing from the long-standing and ongoing investigation into allegations surrounding Collective Spirit Free School and the Manchester Creative Studio School. A matter which has been widely reported, debated in Parliament and subject to review by the Department for Education."
The Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) recently-published report into both schools said their investigation 'casts significant doubt on the legitimacy of funds' given to Collective Spirit Community Trust - a company that had been set up by Raja Miah, who was the trust's chief executive.
The investigation examined bank statements which showed nearly £500k was paid to the trust in the academic year 2016/17. But ESFA "encountered significant difficulties" in matching payments with invoices.
The statement from Mr McMahon - posted on Thursday - says "I take safeguarding very seriously and if others have concerns about safeguarding they should be reported to the appropriate authorities immediately. Throughout my time as a councillor and latterly as council leader in Oldham I acted in the public interest and did my upmost to ensure that the leadership and culture was in place to protect vulnerable people. Any suggestion to the contrary isn't just offensive, but more actively seeks to undermine public confidence. Moreover, it is blatant defamation."
The MP goes on to highlight an Ofsted report that described safeguarding issues at Collective Spirit Free School as "not effective".
"I am realistic enough to accept this statement will not satisfy those who want to believe negativity and wrongdoing in politicians. The current political mood is all too often hostile, aggressive and cynical. I too recognise that it will do little to stop the campaign of harassment and abuse against me and those associated with me. This statement isn't published for either of those reasons, but to put the record straight for fair minded people."
Raja Miah was approached by the Oldham Chronicle but had no comment to make.

Q: Regarding Transient response of a Buck converter(Quantitative analysis...) I want to know transient response of a Buck converter.
I have seen in so many occasions, like
when calculating Output capacitance,
datasheets consider, say in a transient event, loop will be effective after 3-4 cycles and up to that much time capacitor has to maintain the voltage and give the transient current.
When calculating compensation elements also,
transients were mentioned.
in some references, i found.,
inductor will decide the transient capability of Buck converter, di/dt = (Vin-Vout)/L.
Let's say, I have a transient demand from processor 6A/1uS.
I have Buck, Vin = 12V (10.8V to 13.2V), Vout = 0.9V, Ioutmax =15A, L = 0.47uH.
from above, (13-2-0.9)/0.47uH = 27.1A/us.. this looks like huge number...
in this case, how can i know the how much transient current can be given by buck.

A: Firstly, if you are worried about the transient response of your regulator when load current suddenly decreases, you need to use a synchronous buck converter - a non synchronous buck converter isn't going to stop the voltage rising when load is removed because the converter may be in the process of transferring a sizable "lump" of energy from the inductor into the capacitor and, without the previous low load, the output voltage is going to rise above expectations and possibly damage the devices you have connected.
Sanity check
Going on what you've said let's say your average load is 10A at 0.9V - this is a load power of 9W. Let's also assume that your mark-space ratio is 50% for this load. You've stated the inductance so it is possible to calculate your switching frequency. If you were switching at 1MHz your inductor is being charged for 500ns and in that time it will attain a peak current: -
\$V=L\dfrac{di}{dt}\therefore di = dt\times\dfrac{V}{L} = 500ns\times\dfrac{12V-0.9V}{0.47\times 10^{-6}} = 11.81A\$
This translates to an energy of \$\dfrac{L\times 11.81^2}{2} = 32.78\mu J\$.
This gets transferred 1 million times per second so the power it is delivering is 32.78W.
Clearly this is more than what the load power is (9W) so you are probably using a higher frequency. At 2MHz switching (50:50 duty) the inductor current is half and the energy is a quarter of what it is at 1MHz but the energy gets transferred twice as often so the power reduces to 16.38W and this is still too high for the "average" load and a little too high for the peak load (15A x 0.9V = 13.5W).
You don't see many switchers operating above 2MHz so I have to assume that you are operating at somewhat less than 50% duty cycle for the "average" load of 10A. A 200ns inductor charge time would give a peak current of 4.72A and an energy of 5.24\$\mu J\$ and this feeds 10.48W into your load at 2MHz (near enough).
So, if your switcher circuit isn't actually operating at about 2MHz, then you might want to consider the effectiveness of your circuit.
Transient current of 6A
Assuming you are using a synchronous converter, a transient current of +/-6A is going to leave an energy deficit (or excess) that your output capacitor has to mop-up without causing (say) more than a +/-0.1V change on the output: -
\$Q = C.V \therefore \dfrac{dQ}{dt} = C\dfrac{dV}{dt}\$ = current (6A)
This allows you to calculate the capacitor on the output: -
\$C = \dfrac{250ns}{0.1V}\times 6A = 15uF\$
Conclusion
I reiterate - if your switcher isn't switching at about 2MHz then these numbers are going to be a little off the mark. I'd also say that if it is switching below 1MHz (low duty cycle) then extreme changes in output voltage due to load changes are going to be an issue. If the converter isn't a synchronous type then sudden load reductions are going to cause even bigger problems because the converter will go into discontinuous mode and you could easily see a peak in voltage (on top of the 0.9V) of several hundred millivolts.

With an overall utilization of 69% in 2018 of the rig fleet, compared to 66% in 2017, Maersk Drilling has begun to see the effect of higher activity with an increased number of tenders and projects.
During the year, Maersk Drilling secured 12 new contracts and 13 contract extensions adding $503 million to the contract backlog. By the end of the year the revenue backlog amounted to $2.5 billion compared to $3.3 billion in 2017. Maersk Drilling has a forward contract coverage of 63% for 2019 providing a relatively high degree of visibility into 2019. The jack-up segment carries the highest forward contract coverage of 75% compared to 39% in the floater segment.
Maersk Drilling said it continues to see high demand for its ultra harsh environment jack-up rigs in the Norwegian sector. However, the market for floaters remains challenged with overcapacity and utilization at a level not yet able to support material pricing improvements.
As of December 31, 2018, Maersk Drilling had a net debt of $1.097 billion and liquidity reserves of $772 million.
Since the announcement on August 17, 2018, of the intention to separate Maersk Drilling from A.P. Moller – Maersk by way of a demerger and listing in 2019, Maersk Drilling has made the planned organizational progress with all key management positions relevant for the demerger preparation being filled or confirmed.
Further, as part of the preparation for the separation, debt financing of $1.5 billion and a revolving credit facility of $400 million was secured in December 2018, from among others a consortium of international banks.
In 2019, capital expenditures are expected to be in the level of $300-350 million, an increase compared to 2018 due to the rig upgrades and yard stays.
According to Maersk Drilling, global offshore rig utilization levels continued to rise as a result of positive rig demand- and supply side factors.
The driller said that operator demand for offshore drilling rigs rose to approximately 480 rig years in 2018, representing an increase of approximately 2.5% when compared to the previous year. This moderate increase in rig demand was entirely driven by growth in demand for jack-up rigs of more than 4%, as the demand for floaters decreased by approximately 2% in 2018. Contractors continued to reduce offshore drilling rig supply, as 37 jack-ups and 20 floaters were scrapped during the year.
Leading indicators continued to provide support for future drilling activity, as increased tendering activity translated into more awarded contracts throughout the year. Contracting activity also exhibited an element of direct awards, where operators, either through alliances or directly with selected drilling contractors, bypassed the tendering process.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, total utilization levels for the global fleet stood at approximately 63% for jack-ups and 58% for floaters. This represents approximately a 4%-point increase compared to 2017.
Despite improved utilization indicators for the offshore drilling market, the global jack-up and floater markets continued to suffer from overcapacity.
The harsh environment segment, particularly in Norway, has benefited from limited supply of rigs resulting in increasing utilization as well as increasing day rates. The harsh environment segments are characterized by relatively higher barriers to entry and have exhibited above-average rig utilization and day rate levels over the course of the cycle compared with other more commoditized segments.
The industry continues to target cost reduction through operational efficiency improvements, integrated alliances and partnerships. A series of mergers and acquisitions amongst offshore drilling contractors also featured throughout the year. Altogether, this conveys a signal of continued recovery in the offshore drilling market, Maersk Drilling concluded.

The post on Spectrum about Loaner Ships has been updated.
Loaner ships were introduced for players to be able to play in the PU and Arena Commander if they have purchased a ship that is not flight ready yet.
Loaner ships tend to be as close as possible to the "best case substitute" of the ship and is not necessarily based on size or price.
Some ships have two loaners because the most similar loaner ship may not be usable in Arena Commander.
Please click the image below to see the full official list of Loaner / Trainer ships.
Why do I have a Constellation Andromeda and a P-52 Merlin in my ship list but not in my hangar?
On the Port Olisar and Grim Hex ship decks you will see a Constellation Andromeda and a P-52 Merlin in the ship selection screen as replacements for any non flight ready ships that you own that are multi crew.
Please check the ship loaner matrix above for more details.
Why do I have a F7C Hornet in my ship list but not in my hangar?
If you own a concept ship that is not yet flight ready, or if you own a concept ship that is unable to be used in Arena commander you will have a Hornet F7C available to use as a loaner (also now known as a "trainer").
Please see the loaner ship matrix at the start of this article.
Can I Use A Ship Rented With REC In Port Olisar and Around Crusader?
No, since 2.4 it is no longer possible to "rent" ships for use in the public universe.
Why Are The Ships I Rented Not Showing Up In The Ship Selection Screen At Port Olisar or Grim Hex?
As of 2.4 and on ships that have been rented using REC are no longer available for use in Port Olisar or Grim Hex and around Crusader. Only ships purchased with UEC and Real Money on the RSI website will be available for use in the Public Universe. Ships rented with REC are still available in Arena Commander and will continue to be.
Why Can I No Longer Use Rented Ships In Port Olisar?
REC are credits that are earned by playing the simulated games in Arena Commander and eventually in Star Marine. The simulator exists in the Star Citizen universe as a separate place to test weapons, ships and PVP combat skills. Only UEC will be usable in the Public Universe / Star Citizen. As the game continues to be developed the separation between UEC purchases and REC purchases will continue to grow. Eventually the only items available for use in Star Citizen will be those purchased with UEC or earned / found in the verse. REC credits earned in the simulator will only go towards renting ships and items in Arena Commander and Star Marine simulations.


DuPage County has multiple water outlets for recreational use such as kayaking. You may kayak on each of four lakes, a stream and river in DuPage County. Mallard Lake, Round Meadow Lake, Herrick Lake and Silver Lake allow non-gasoline powered vessels on the water. You may also navigate Salt Creek and the western branch of the DuPage River, though doing so poses greater risk than kayaking in the county's lakes because of potentially fast-moving currents.
You must obtain a Forest Preserve District private-boating permit and register your kayak with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources before entering the water. Boat permits cost $7 daily for DuPage County residents and $9 for visitors, as of October 2011. You may obtain a permit from Visitor Services District Headquarters in Wheaton or at a kayak rental area on the local lakes.
If you rent a kayak rather than bring your own, you'll avoid state water vessel registration. DuPage County has two public equipment rental areas located on Herrick Lake and Silver Lake. At the time of publication, kayak rentals cost $10 per hour or $50 per day. You may only rent your kayaks seasonally, though, as the lake rental areas usually open in early April and close for the season at the end of September. If you rent a kayak from one of the lake rental areas, you must provide a driver's license for deposit.
Federal and state boat safety regulations state children younger than 13 must wear personal flotation devices at all times on the water, while adults and children older than 13 must have access to one personal flotation device per person onboard a recreational watercraft. As a kayaker, more stringent rules apply to you in the DuPage County Forest Preserve District. The district rules require anyone operating a kayak or canoe in the DuPage County Forest Preserve to wear life jackets at all times on the water, regardless of age. These rules do not apply to larger watercraft.
There are five dams along the western branch of the DuPage River, each of which present hazards for kayakers. Strong undertow currents are capable of overcoming kayakers near the dams, and according to The Herald News -- a publication of the Chicago Sun-Times -- multiple individuals have lost their lives due to strong currents near the DuPage River dams. Signs warn of upcoming dams, and they will also notify you of portage areas, where you can safely exit the water to surpass the dams before reentry.

FAQ :: Are Schools tracking students with GPS?
Beginning in 2010 public schools began tracking students with GPS transmitters to ensure their safety and attendance. A judge ordered 22 students at Bryan High School in Texas to carry GPS tracking devices in the name of preventing truancy. "Bryan High students who skip school will soon be tracked 24 hours a day, seven days a week," reported KBTX.
Palos Heights School District 128 has become one of the first in Illinois to begin using GPS to track schoolchildren riding buses to and from school each day. It had previously been using ZPass, a GPS technology provided by Seattle-based Zonar Systems, to track the buses, but now students are tracked with a luggage tag-sized unit in their backpacks that logs when they step on and off the bus.
Palos School Superintendent Kathleen Casey says the system helps alleviate parents' concerns. The district spent $16,000 for the technology, which currently covers 10 buses. Parents say the cost is minimal for the benefits.
Contra Costa County officials are outfitting preschoolers with tracking devices they say will save staff time and money. The system requires preschoolers to wear a jersey that has a small radio frequency tag. The tag will send signals to sensors located throughout the school that help track a child's movements. It also keeps track of their attendance and whether they have eaten or not. School officials say it will free up teachers and administrators who previously had to note on paper files when a child was absent or had eaten. The system cost $50,000, but it was paid by a federal grant.
Anaheim Union High School District was the first in California to use GPS technology to track its students. Students in the seventh and eighth grades who have four unexcused absences are assigned a GPS device about the size of a cell phone. They receive an automated call each morning to remind them to go to school. The cost of the program was paid by a federal grant.
There was no safety issue to compel this tracking of students. Schools lose money from the federal government when students do not attend class. It is all about money for the local school districts, but for the surveillance society agenda it is all about tracking students 24-7 from preschool to college with GPS technology. This was just the start. Look for this GPS scam to spread throughout the country and around the world.

Q: Defining subfamilies for a font I wish to import from files a font family, which comes in extra light, light, regular, medium, bold and black. Instead of defining several different font names and choosing them as I need, it would be great if I could somehow define a single family and then attribute when I used different weights. Is this possible? I am using xelatex with fontspec. Is there an alternative to fontspec that offers an easy solution?

A: The manual of fontspec mentions the key FontFace. So let's assume your font are
BestFont-ExtraLight.otf
BestFont-ExtraLightItalic.otf
BestFont-Light.otf
BestFont-LightItalic.otf
BestFont-Regular.otf
BestFont-Italic.otf
BestFont-Medium.otf
BestFont-MediumItalic.otf
BestFont-Bold.otf
BestFont-BoldItalic.otf
BestFont-Black.otf
BestFont-BlackItalic.otf

Then you should be able to provide the font definition as
\setmainfont{BestFont}[
  Extension=.otf,
  UprightFont=*-Regular,
  ItalicFont=*-Italic,
  BoldFont=*-Bold,
  BoldItalicFont=*-BoldItalic,
  FontFace={xl}{n}{*-ExtraLight},
  FontFace={xl}{it}{*-ExtraLightItalic},
  FontFace={l}{n}{*-Light},
  FontFace={l}{it}{*-LightItalic},
  FontFace={mb}{n}{*-Medium},
  FontFace={mb}{it}{*-MediumItalic},
  FontFace={k}{n}{*-Black},
  FontFace={k}{it}{*-BlackItalic},
]

A real world example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Raleway}[
  Extension=.otf,
  UprightFont=*-Regular,
  ItalicFont=*-Regular-Italic,
  BoldFont=*-Bold,
  BoldItalicFont=*-Bold-Italic,
  FontFace={xl}{n}{*-ExtraLight},
  FontFace={xl}{it}{*-ExtraLight-Italic},
  FontFace={l}{n}{*-Light},
  FontFace={l}{it}{*-Light-Italic},
  FontFace={mb}{n}{*-Medium},
  FontFace={mb}{it}{*-Medium-Italic},
  FontFace={k}{n}{*-Black},
  FontFace={k}{it}{*-Black-Italic},
]

\begin{document}

\newcommand{\test}[2]{%
  #1: {\fontseries{#2}\selectfont This is upright. \itshape This is italic}\par
}

\test{ExtraLight}{xl}
\test{Light}{l}
\test{Regular}{m}
\test{Medium}{mb}
\test{Bold}{bx}
\test{Black}{k}

\end{document}

Now you can also define font switching commands by yourself:
\DeclareRobustCommand\xlseries{\fontseries{xl}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textxl}{\xlseries}
\DeclareRobustCommand\lseries{\fontseries{l}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textl}{\lseries}
\DeclareRobustCommand\mbseries{\fontseries{mb}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textmb}{\mbseries}
\DeclareRobustCommand\kseries{\fontseries{k}\selectfont}
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\textk}{\kseries}


Today, the human resource (HR) department needs to evolve according to the industry standards. These developments impel enterprises to improve productivity and work culture in the organization. The HR department hires employees and plays a crucial role in enhancing their skills and creating productive and sound work environment. The HR department should focus on hiring the right people by being aware of the company's needs and planning and structuring job interviews. Learning Management Software (LMS) tools can help HR executives strategize a plan.
Tools of LMS not just allow HR executives and other stakeholders to share information but also share information with the entire organization. All departments can leverage the LMS to improve efficiency of the training programs. The LMS software can digitize the training programs from course-building and training to assessment and feedback. The software application allows HR professionals to add graphics to the training program making the training sessions enjoyable. Each department can create tailor-made presentation using LMS. The principal objective of a training program is to help employees learn and gain new skills.
The sessions can be held from anywhere in the world and the employees can learn on the go.
LMS has the ability to embed multimedia in the training programs making the sessions more appealing. The compatibility of the software with other applications assists in sharing and accessing information.
An LMS makes the training content interactive to make the employees learn faster and better. HR professionals all around the world are adopting this software for their staffing needs and training requirements.

Zane Alcorn wants 'public investment in alternative jobs so that coal exports can be phased out'.
Newcastle is a centre of coalmining and is home to the world's largest coal port. There is a proposal to expand the industry by building a fourth coal terminal at the port and building another 15 big coalmines in the surrounding Hunter Valley.
Fewer than 10% of Newcastle residents support this plan and are worried about the health impacts of increased coal dust. A vocal community campaign has been running to stop the fourth coal terminal being built and instead switch to renewable energy.
In response to a question about enforcing coal companies to comply with national air quality standards, Alcorn answered: "In the rare instances where mines are found guilty of pollution, the fines are miniscule.
"The Mount Thorley Warkworth mine, for instance, was fined $3000 for failing to implement dust control measures; meanwhile graffiti artists can be fined $2000 and jailed for painting a wall.
The Socialist Alliance's policies were judged to be in favour of protecting farmland, aquifers and communities in 17 out of 17 questions, giving Alcorn equal top billing alongside Greens candidate Michael Osborne.


In A Slower Speed of Light, for Mac and Windows, players decelerate the speed of light by collecting orbs, creating a weird game universe, and maybe learning a little something about relativity in the process.
MIT's Game Lab released the prototype for A Slower Speed of Light, where the player can fiddle with Einstein's groundbreaking theories and see what happens to the world.
You play a little girl in a red riding hood cloak—recently deceased, poor thing. You're in a purgatory land of ghostly figures and huge mushrooms. To escape purgatory you must become "one with the light." Of course, the speed of light is just too fast for you—to catch up with it you'll need to collect 100 orbs, and as you collect each orb, the speed of light gets slower and slower until it's almost equal to walking speed.
In the game's trailer, designer Sonny Sidhu explains the goal: using a familiar type of gameplay, an object-collection mechanic, to let players play with a bizarre concept: manipulating relativity. "It seems like a laughably easy task to collect 100 objects that are visible, strewn around a level, with not much blocking them," Sidhu says. "But it turns out to be much more difficult."
What you see changes as you collect the orbs. At first the environment is mostly dark grays and purples, then things go neon. As the speed of light slows down, you can see infrared and ultraviolet light as well as visible light, denoted by a spectrum at the bottom of the screen accompanied by an "odometer."
The changes in gameplay represent real features of Einstein's universe. For instance, once you've gathered 50 of the orbs, moving forward turns the world bright red, and backing up makes it look green—demonstrating blueshift and redshift, respectively, due to the Doppler effect. Objects in the game will glow brighter as you move toward them, a demo of the "searchlight effect. Once you've gathered upward of 80 orbs, time dilation happens and the Lorentz transformation makes time and space expand and contract as you move. Mushrooms bend and warp when you walk under them. It's tough to get the last few orbs since the targets get smaller as you move toward them.
"People think that relativity is extremely weird," says Gerd Kortemeyer, the game's owner and an associate professor of physics education at Michigan State University. "We do not grow up with it. It only really becomes apparent when things are moving close to the speed of light, and we just don't see that in real life."
The open source code that runs the game, called OpenRelativity, is targeted for release in 2013. Kortemeyer calls it a "relativistic game engine" and says other game designers could use the same techniques.
The game, which runs on OS X and Windows, is worth checking out. One caveat: Its creators warn that it may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy or motion sickness. Personally, I could have done with some Dramamine before downloading.

I Saw Moon And It Was Really Good
Sam Rockwell Stars in Moon
Hey what's up? How is your Saturday going? I just got in from a pass through Trader Joe's (milk chocolate covered peanut butter crackers, mmm) that I made on my way home from seeing the amazing new film, Moon. All I knew about this film going in was that David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones is the director, and it stars Sam Rockwell (who was so excellent in Choke). If you don't know much about Moon, I would recommend not reading any reviews, because the element of surprise that you get from the film as its plot unfolds is so worth it. Moon features some familiar themes of advanced future technology and life on an isolated space station that we saw in classic sci-fi films like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Silent Running. But I was really not expecting the twists and turns that Jones throws at you in this truly original story. Rockwell's portrayal of Sam Bell, an astronaut who wonders if he is going insane as his three-year mission on the space station comes to a close, is top notch and finely nuanced, and Kevin Spacey is fun as the voice of the ship's computer, Gerty. Clint Mansell (Pop Will Eat Itself), who does the soundtrack music for all of Darren Aronofsky's films, wrote the score. Moon is a very beautiful, eerie and touching film that I am giving two thumbs up!

Space Oddity: Duncan Jones Makes Directorial Debut
Duncan Jones and his Dad, David Bowie
"Mutants and superheroes are a dime a dozen, but good old-fashioned sci-fi films are increasingly hard to come by. And that makes Moon (in theaters 6/12) a welcome departure from Hollywood's increasingly effects-driven everyday offerings. Directed by Duncan Jones (a.k.a. David Bowie's son, formerly known as Zowie Bowie) and co-written by Nathan Parker (son of British director Alan Parker), Moon depicts Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell)'s lonely tenure on a faraway lunar station. A robot (voiced by Kevin Spacey) is his only companion; messages from his wife and daughter are delivered via satellite. And it isn't long before space sickness – or something even more sinister – takes hold of his imagination. Jones turns out to be a sharp, unfussy director. But Rockwell – who is quietly turning into one of our most gifted and versatile actors – walks away with the film." From the trailer, this looks like it might be a very good mix of Silent Running and 2001. I plan to see it.
Watch the trailer for Moon: here
Thanks to Very Short List for the tip!

All Choked Up: Chuck Palahniuk Novel Hits The Big Screen
The first time I saw Fight Club, the wonderful, mind-fuck of a movie based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, I was so seriously enthralled and dumbfounded by the film, I somehow convinced myself that I'd just watched a brilliant work of science fiction. I've seen Fight Club a couple of times since then and I can't really recall why I originally thought the film had a science fiction theme, since it's really about a guy who's either severely mentally ill or just an extreme sociopath (and maybe the two aren't mutually exclusive).
What made Fight Club so memorable, for me, was the insane originality and rich complexity of the plot. I figured Palahniuk had to be some kind of amazingly twisted writer to come up with most of the key plot devices in that film, because, seriously, who thinks of shit like stealing human fat to make soap? Secretly, I prayed that more of Chuck Palahniuk's novels would be made into great, edgy films – and now my prayers have been answered!
Brad William Henke and Sam Rockwell in Choke
Last night I attended an advance screening of the new comedy Choke, Sponsored by Radar Magazine as part of their Summer Solstice Screening Series. Based on Palahniuk's popular novel of the same title. Choke stars Sam Rockwell (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind) Angelica Huston and Kelly MacDonald (No Country For Old Men), and is directed by triple-threat actor/screenwriter/director Clark Gregg. You might know Gregg from his ongoing role as Julia Louis-Dreyfus's ex-husband in The New Adventures of Old Christine. In Choke, Rockwell plays Victor, a sex addicted colonial park tour guide whose mother (Huston) has been committed to a home for the mentally ill. Victor also runs a little scam on the side, pretending to choke on his food while dining in restaurants, either to simply gain attention or to somehow score a monetary settlement from the restaurant. I don't want to give away too much about the film because there are so many twists and turns on his completely hilarious, deeply psychological and outrageously sexual journey that I think it's best seen with a "fresh head" – knowing as little in advance as possible. If you've read the novel, I understand that Gregg achieved a very faithful adaptation. I absolutely loved the movie. Choke is rated R for lots of sex, nudity and bad words, but who doesn't love that?
After the screening, we were treated to a brief Q&A session with a Palahniuk, Gregg and Rockwell who answered a half dozen or so questions about how the film was made (on a very tight budget within a schedule of less than 30 days) and their personal experiences of working on the project. Thanks to Radar Magazine and additional sponsor, Belvedere Vodka, screening guests received a gift bag stuffed with a huge coffee table book of photography, a CD, a copy of Radar, a canned coffee drink, a sex toy and John Varvatos aftershave and cologne – not a bad haul for a free event!

Vision, olfaction, and touch are also important to varying degrees in bats. Scent plays an important role in many social interactions, such as in mating and in mother-infant bonding. Scent glands are common in many bats (as they generally are in mammals).
Rhinolophids are all insectivorous and are likely to control populations of insect pests. Large guano deposits can be harvested commercially for fertilizer.
Some rhinolophids may become household pests if they form large colonies in human dwellings. The buildup of guano from a large colony can produce a foul odor.

Celine Dion Biography, Investment, Asset and Net Worth
Celine Marie Claudette Dion popularly known as Celine Dion is a famous Canadian singer, songwriter, stage performer and a vocalist. She is widely considered as the greatest female musician in the planet and a music legend with millions of albums sold worldwide. She was born on 30th March 1968 in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada. She is currently 50 years old. She is very gifted, skillful, creative and talented.
Celine Dion is the youngest child in a family of 14 children. Her mother's name is Therese Dion, she was a homemaker and her father's name is Adhemar Dion, he was a butcher. Her parents are both of French-Canadian descent. Celine Dion was raised in a poor Roman Catholic family in Charlemagne. Music had always been a major part of her family, and she was named after the song "Céline" which French singer Hugues Aufray had recorded two years before her birth.
On 13th August 1973, at the age of 5 years old, Celine Dion made her first public appearance at her brother Michel's wedding, where she performed Christine Charbonneau's song "Du fil des aiguilles et du cotton". She continued to perform with her siblings in her parents' small piano bar called Le Vieux Baril (meaning "The Old Barrel"). From an early age, Celine Dion had dreamed of being a performer. Celine Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her first record.
At the age of 12 years old, Celine Dion collaborated with her mother and her brother Jacques to write and compose her first song "It Was Only a Dream". Her brother Michel sent the recording to music manager René Angélil, whose name he discovered on the back of a Ginette Reno album. Angélil was moved to tears by Celine Dion's voice and decided to make her a star.
In 1981, he mortgaged his home to fund her first record "La voix du bon Dieu" which later became a local Number 1 hit and made Celine Dion an instant star in Quebec, Canada. Her popularity spread to other parts of the world when she competed in the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, Japan and won the musician's award for "Top Performer" as well as the gold medal for Best Song.
By 1983, in addition to becoming the first Canadian artist to receive a gold record in France for the single "Of Love or of Friendship". Celine Dion had also won several Felix Awards including Best Female Performer and Discovery of the Year. Celine Dion became very successful when she represented Switzerland in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Ne partez pas san moi" and won the contest by a close margin in Dublin, Ireland.
At the age of 18 years old, after watching Michael Jackson performance, Celine Dion told Angélil that she wanted to be a star like Michael Jackson. Though confident in her talent, Angélil realized that her image needed to be changed in order for her to be marketed worldwide. Unfortunately, Celine Dion receded from the spotlight for a number of months, during which she underwent dental surgery to improve her appearance and was sent to the Ecole Berlitz in 1989 to polish her English.
In 1989, during a concert on the Incognito Tour, Celine Dion injured her voice. She consulted the otorhinolaryngologist William Gould, who gave her an ultimatum, either to have immediate surgery on her vocal cords or do not utilize them at all for three weeks. Celine Dion chose the latter and underwent vocal training with William Riley.
In 1994, Celine Dion got married to Rene Angelil and the marriage is currently blessed with three children namely Rene-Charles Angelil, Eddy Angelil and Nelson Angelil.
Celine Dion first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest where she represented Switzerland. Following a series of French albums during the 1980s, Celine Dion signed a record contract deal with Epic Records in the United States of America.
In 1990, Celine Dion released her first debut studio English Language album "Unison" establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English speaking areas of the world. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after releasing several English albums along with additional French albums.
However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Celine Dion announced that she will take a break from entertainment to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer.
On 15 March 2011, Celine Dion returned to the Colosseum to perform her second residency show "Celine" with a contract until 2019. She is the highest paid resident performer earning $500,000 per show. She performed her record breaking 1000th overall Las Vegas show on 8th October 2016.
Celine Dion's music has been influenced by genres ranging from rock and R&B to gospel and classical. Her recordings are mainly in French and English, although she also sings in Spanish, Italian, German, Latin, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she has been regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices.
Celine Dion has won five Grammy Awards, Including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. She is the second best-selling female artist in the United States of America during the Nielsen SoundScan era. In 2003, Celine Dion was honored by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) for selling over 50 million albums in Europe.
Celine Dion till date still remains the best-selling Canadian artist and one of the best-selling artists of all time with record sales of over 220 million copies worldwide.
Celine Dion currently resides in Henderson, Nevada with her family. She first met her husband and manager, Rene Angelil in 1980 when she was 12 years old and Rene Angelil was 38 years old. They began a relationship in 1987 and became engaged in 1991.
They got married on 17th December 1994 at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. On 5th January 2000, Celine Dion and her husband Angelil renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas, United States of America.
Unfortunately, on 22nd March 2018, Celine Dion's management team announced that Celine Dion had been dealing with hearing irregularities for the past 12 to 18 months due to Patulous Eustachian tube and would undergo a minimally invasive surgical procedure to correct the problem after ear drop medications appeared to be no longer working.
Celine Dion is currently one of the richest and most influential female artiste in Canada with an estimated net worth of $630 million.

Q: How to find the work done on an ideal gas when $T$, $V$, and $P$ aren't constant? The question is as follows:
An ideal gas originally at a temperature $T_1$; and pressure $P_1$ is compressed reversibly against a piston to a volume equal to one-half its original volume. The temperature of the gas is varied during the compression so that at each instant the relation $P = A V$ is satisfied, $A =$ constant.
Find the work done on the gas in terms of n, R, and T1.
My assumption is that the process is not adiabatic since the temperature is being controlled
I believe I should be using the following equation from the textbook to solve this: $dW=nRdT-PV(dP/P)$
I substitute in $V=P/A$ to get: $dW=nRdT-(1/A)PdP$
Is this the right way of going about this question?

A: I don't think that this approach will be fruitful.  There may be many ways of dong this problem. but I would start out with$$d\ln{P}+d\ln{V}=d\ln{T}$$and $$d\ln{P}=d\ln{V}$$so that, adding, $$2d\ln{P}=d\ln{T}$$or $$\frac{T}{T_1}=\left(\frac{P}{P_1}\right)^2$$I would represent the work as $$dW=PdV=nRT\frac{dV}{V}=nRT\frac{dP}{P}$$

I'm not going to be an alarmist on Chris Sale or Zack Greinke. I certainly would be monitoring them closely if I owned them, however. But, with injuries piling up and FAAB targets missed, let's talk about some positive things I've seen thus far. Trevor Bauer and Luis Castillo are awesome and their opening outings have me pumped!
Velocity and usage. The old cliché of a thrower "learning how to pitch" seems annoyingly true with a guy like Castillo. He possesses possibly the best changeup in baseball, but was not putting himself in positions to take advantage of its dominance for much of last season. I've already chronicled Castillo's monster second half fueled by this changeup, but there was also a recovery of a few MPH on his fastball. With the right pitch mix and maintained velocity, the vision of Luis Castillo becoming a top 20 starter is coming into focus.
@Roto_Frank (a great follow) tweeted out a really interesting carryover observation. Castillo's second half was aided by increased slider velocity. It ticked up each month and finished above 86 MPH in September (via Brooks Baseball). What was it against the Pirates you ask? 85.82. With his 4-Seam Fastball velocity sitting at 96.04 MPH, I am very comfortable with this result for a March outing.
And finally, the changeup. Castillo's pitch mix included 39% changueps and 47% fastballs. Both of these are up from most starts in 2018. This combination has proven to be the most successful so I want to see him use these pitches the way we did against the Pirates. The slider was hard enough to provide the slight wrinkle needed to keep hitters off-balance, but the changeup is the out pitch. Castillo got 11 of his 14 whiffs on changeups.
Another great Twitter follow (and former alumni) is @MikeTheRotoCop. He put my Trevor Bauer doubt to rest and I'm glad I listened! Bauer was unbelievable on Saturday. And, he has a new and improved changeup! Let's dive in.
Check out the results of the changeup below. Not bad for the unveiling right?
Bauer only needed a 32.5% usage rate on a fastball that had great life and maintained his stellar velocity from last year. According to Brooks Baseball, Bauer had multiple whiffs on 5 different pitches! Stop it. 20 swinging strikes for the day is ridiculous. And, CSW (called strikes+whiffs/total pitches) showed good results for Bauer as well. This is a newer metric tweeted out by @AlexFast8. Bauer seemingly would not grade very well on this due to his reputation of high pitch counts and stubbornness to give in. But, Saturday's start at 33% CSW for Bauer is a great result for a guy who has a long leash on a start by start basis and should come close to 200 innings if he stays healthy.
Fantasy baseball is about keeping an open mind. I am trying, this year in particular, to find better metrics to teach me more about pitching. Twitter is the ultimate resource, so please give a follow to Frank, Mike, and Alex. But, pitching is also about finding your guys. Every pitcher has inherent risk, and the regression monster is always lurking. However, if you find someone you like, plant your flag – I'm very comfortable planting my flag with guys like Castillo and Bauer. Their arsenals, pitch mixes, and potential show me top 20 and top 3 upside respectively.

Media Decoder | With Sale, Orlando Station to Leave PBS
With Sale, Orlando Station to Leave PBS
By Elizabeth Jensen
April 1, 2011 3:38 pm April 1, 2011 3:38 pm
6:25 p.m. | Updated The primary public television station in Orlando, Fla., WMFE-TV, said Friday that the station was being sold to an undisclosed buyer, in a sign of the continuing financial strains in public broadcasting.
The move is yet another blow for PBS, marking the second station it has lost in a top 20 market in the past three months. In a statement, PBS confirmed that the station would leave PBS under the new owners, saying that "PBS' goal is to have a financially stable service in the Orlando market."
PBS will "look to other member station partners to achieve this," according to the statement, and will work with WMFE to "ensure a smooth transition." Two other smaller local PBS stations, WDSC in Daytona and WBCC in Cocoa, have overlapping signals with WMFE.
In an interview, José Fajardo, WMFE's president, said that the public television model is no longer viable — at least in Orlando. The station, he said, was unable to pay its PBS dues of just under $1 million annually due to decreased donations, including a 34 percent drop in pledge drive contributions from viewers.
The loss of pledge donations led to a $300,000 shortfall in the station's fiscal year fund-raising goal, Mr. Fajardo said, adding that the station was also concerned about possible cuts in state and federal funding. PBS is in the midst of reworking its dues formula, and by one initial calculation, he said, the station would have seen its dues rise 37 percent in the coming years.
The board evaluated other options, he said, including merging with one of the other nearby stations, but "you still have the big PBS expense and you still have a reduction in contributions." A PBS spokeswoman declined to comment on the dues formula.
On Jan. 1, KCET-TV in Los Angeles quit PBS after four decades, citing the high dues it could no longer afford. The move forced PBS to scramble to line up another station in Los Angeles to carry its programming.
In its statement, PBS acknowledged that funding "decreases or cuts have put a tremendous stress on some member stations, particularly state-funded stations," adding that PBS remains "committed to working with our station partners who, along with PBS, appreciate the support we do receive from viewers, members, donors, businesses and corporations."
