At Shlesinger & deVilleneuve, we've been representing Oregon attack victims for more than four decades, and have been effective in getting compensation for over 95% of all of our personal injury clients! In Oregon, it's especially essential to retain the skills of a knowledgeable attorney if you or a family member have been attacked or bitten by a dog, because of the fact that the Oregon statutes that control dog bites can be complicated. All of our seasoned and proficient lawyers know the challenging nature of Oregon's one-bite law, and can work to recuperate both financial and non-financial damages for your medical expenses, stress, pain, trauma and suffering. When you call Shlesinger & deVilleneuve, we will return your call the same day to arrange a complimentary meeting with one of our attorneys. Money should not cause you concern. We will work for you on a contingency fee basis, in other words we will accept no payment unless a recovery is achieved. At Shlesinger & deVilleneuve you can expect your rights to be protected, your interests to be vigorously pursued, and your injuries to be compensated! There is a reason our motto is "let us fight for you" – because that is precisely what we will do.


For 'tis much cheaper living in North Americay.
They do what they can to starve the poor here.
To feed other nations that against us do fight.
I would have you draw near and listen to me.
It is much better living in North Americay.
When we can get four shillings in North Americay.
Poor men had better go to North Americay.
What a plague is in England by short weight of gold.
There's nothing of this in North Americay.
This is no great hardship, you believe, I dare say.
But we'll have no taxes in North Americay.
But go and make fortunes in North Americay.
For weavers and combers no work's to be had.
They'll find us employment in North Americay.
And ship yourselves to North Americay.

My grandmother always thought the honorable Bishop Fulton Sheen was just the cat's whiskers, and she was a Presbyterian of the severest stripe. Mother told me that the blessed Bishop, had he personally asked, could have converted that diehard old Protestant.
May the Church recognize the sainthood Fulton Sheen deserves. (and if they don't, may they admit he came quite close) 🙂
TonyC March 31, 2009 - 9:07 pm
Did you notice that when Bp Sheen left the stage and was shaking hands with the panel, the last one, Dorothy Kilgallen, kissed his ring. A rare sight in todays world, but, I feel certain was a common practice of that day and time. Wonderful!
Teresa March 31, 2009 - 10:05 pm
Yes, Tony! I did catch the particular deference shown by the last actress and I'm grateful to you for giving me her name.

Dino March 31, 2009 - 11:50 pm
Dorothy Kilgallen was a journalist.
I hope God is preparing us another "prime time" Bishop like Bp. Sheen. Despite being a "mere" auxiliary bishop for most of his popular career, he probably had more influence on people, Catholic and non-Catholic than any prelate ever granted America.
Servant of God Fulton John Sheen, pray for us.
Father April 1, 2009 - 3:31 am
We definitely could use another Bishop Sheen today – someone who is able to use the media to captivate the minds and hearts of mainstream America while refusing to water down the faith.
Joe April 1, 2009 - 5:58 am
Boy, this brings me back. Thank you.

As a child (in the 1950's) my widowed Grandmother (RIP) worked in mid-town Manahattan. We lived in the South Bronx.
I met Bishop Sheen one night in St. Pat's.
My Grandmother had bought tix for a Radio City showing of one of the Disney classics, Snow White, I think. Mom (RIP) took us four boys (aged four to eight) in the subway to the show.
Of course, after the movie we made a visit to St. Pat's. And, of course, the youngest, John, was running around the Cathedral. Bishop Sheen responded when, quietly as possible, Mom called for our John, as that was the name his Mother called him.
Of course, Mom and Grandmother kissed his ring and he took time from his busy schedule to speak with us little people.
Next time I saw Bishop was at his wake in St. Pat's.
More like him please!

It's hard to believe that there was a time that a Catholic bishop was afforded such respect on American television. Can you imagine what his reception would be today?
Patricia April 1, 2009 - 2:27 pm
Great memories everyone!!!! I too have one. St. Hedwigs, CA, 1965, we were collecting money for the Pagan Babies (little boxes where you would put a dime, nickel or quarter into a slot and when it was filled, Sister would send the box to the poor in Africa). Bishop Sheen was having his own Pagan Babies Drive and I saved $2.65 to send to him. He wrote me back saying he would say a Mass for me. I still have his letter.
I was very moved when Dorothy kissed his ring. With her troubled life–yet that one kiss–we know she's ok now.
Russ April 1, 2009 - 8:06 pm
I too was moved by that simple gesture of respect.
I was also impressed, then saddened, by the high level of discourse and general politeness of the discussion. It was a delight to hear those conversational niceties once again; but sad to think that that era has long since passed us.
What happened to that America?

I've been experimenting with using Y-permutations to solve the 2x2 cube as described here. I ended up with the cube solved but for a single face where the opposite corners were swapped and disoriented. I managed to solve the cube, but I wonder if there is a shorter algorithm to accomplish this task.
If you're using Y-perms, then simply rotate a face containing one of the corners 90 degrees, to position them opposite each other. This is called a setup move. Doing so puts the two corners opposite each other, and a Y-perm will then swap the correct corners.
You can then undo that setup move after completing the Y-perm by rotating the face back in place.


The leading global food service retailer with more than 20,000 local restaurants serving over 30 million people in more than 100 countries each day.
It is one of the world's most well-known and valuable brands and holds a leading share in the globally branded quick service restaurant segment of the informal eating-out market in virtually every country in which it does business.
The company generates well over $10 Billion in revenues annually.
The client organization required ongoing analysis of its business operations at various levels – National, Regional, District and local. Insights were also required across various demographical segments – Business Unit Managers, Unit Operators, Staff and even Customers. Further, this effort needed to span several thousand locations in several countries.
Once data regarding the performance is gathered, often composed of 100 to 150 attributes, it needed to be analyzed to decipher patterns, trends and other insights. A complex business data warehouse, analysis engine and report generation capabilities were required.
Working closely with our primary client, InfoVision's Data Architects developed a quarterly data collection and validation process. The process allowed each of the 1000 restaurants in the 10 countries to easily contribute data regarding business practices, client experiences, food menu, hygiene parameters, employees and other related issues. InfoVision also developed a Data warehouse model to aggregate the gathered data and prepared it for periodic analysis. Further, a performance analysis tool was built to analyze the data and develop specific insights for business decision makers. Finally, a report generation system was created to generate the required reports for distribution. Each quarter, for the past several years, we have been delivering analysis and results to our client.
InfoVision's work has allowed the foodservice retailer to (a) Establish ongoing visibility to its operations across several countries, (b) monitor performance proactively and (b) protect its business and brand.

Lundhs Real Stone featured in Norwegian TV Show
It's always exciting to see our materials being used in new and exciting projects. And what's more exciting than being part of a TV show? On the 8th of October, we're proud to say that Lundhs Real Stone will be showcased in one of Norway's most popular renovation programmes – "Eventyrlig Oppussing" – loosely translated as "Adventurous Renovation". Think Grand Designs with a Scandinavian twist! Part of a cabin and outdoor transformation, our Lundhs Royal Larvikite material was chosen to adorn the surfaces of a breathtaking outdoor kitchen area.

The third episode in the latest series, the show is led by TV host and Interior Designer Halvor Bakke and his carpentry team, Ole Rosén-Lystrup and Gustav Brustad-Nilsen, as they transform a family cabin and outdoor area in the small waterside town of Stavern.
"In Stavern, we work with outdoor areas a lot. So many local homeowners can also get inspiration from watching the episode" says Halvor Bakke.
Outdoor kitchen and several social zones
When it came to designing and planning the outdoor area of this Stavern property, the decision was made to use local stone. Situated just a few kilometres south of Larvik and the Lundhs Real Stone quarries, our materials were the perfect choice. The worktop for the outdoor kitchen surfaces is made from the lightest stone in our collection – Lundhs Royal, in addition to raw larvikite stone being used to build other elements of the outdoor space such as small benches and tables.

Kitchen worktop in larvikite
Complemented by reclaimed wood cladding and a pergola construction, the large outdoor kitchen, which includes a pizza oven, is completed with a worktop in Lundhs Royal in a silk matte finish. A beautiful combination of raw, natural materials, the outdoor space is transformed into the perfect space for socialising with friends and family.
Multiple social areas
Helping to zone the outside space, several levels were created in the garden using solid stone blocks of larvikite. These separate zones include a herb garden, champagne swings, a lounge area and then a fire pit and seating areas.
Lundhs Real Stone for outdoor areas
A wonderfully light natural stone, Lundhs Royal – as shown in this outdoor kitchen – is characterised by its light grey background colour and its large ice blue feldspar crystals. Like all of our stones, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor surfaces thanks to its 100% natural composition and properties.
Resistant to the elements
Due to the stone's natural properties, Lundhs Real Stone will withstand even the harshest of climates in the Nordic countries. Not only does it not absorb water but it is also resistant to stains, is easy to maintain and is able to deal with harsh temperature changes. Thanks to these practical and aesthetic qualities, Lundhs Royal is the perfect fit as a worktop for Norwegian outdoor kitchens.
The third episode of Eventyrlig Oppussing featuring Lundhs Real Stone will be shown on the 8th October on Viaplay, Viafree and TV3 (Norway).

Selling on Amazon can be very profitable. A lot of people do this full time, and lead very comfortable lives. You probably already know this, which is why you want to become an Amazon seller. However, you think capital might be a challenge. Well that brings us to the question, how do you become an Amazon seller with little capital? This question begs another one, what exactly is little capital? Is it $1000 or $500? We know the word "little" here, is relative. What's little to a fellow who makes $5000 a month might not be little to another who makes $1000 a month.
Whether little to you is $500 or $100 you can become an Amazon seller. What if little to you is $0.00? Not to worry, at the end of this article you'd have learnt how to sell on Amazon for free. I know it might sound too good to be true, keep reading to see exactly how easy it is to become an Amazon seller with little capital.
Basically, the places you'll incur costs as a beginner on Amazon are in getting your inventory, (that is, products you'll be selling on Amazon), selling on Amazon fees and then registering to be an FBA seller. What we are trying to achieve here is to how to eliminate these costs. Eliminating the cost of inventory is very easy. All you need do is to source inventory from around you. Just look for objects you do not need in your house, check if they are selling on Amazon, and then sell. The way to check if they're selling on Amazon is to check if that product got a review recently. So you can do this for those items you don't need anymore. Keep the money together, you can then buy inventory which you'll sell on Amazon.
The next fee that to should eliminate is the FBA fees. So there are two ways to register for Amazon FBA. You can either register as an Amazon professional seller, where you'd be charged $40 on registration. The other way is to register to be an Amazon individual seller. With this plan you'd be charged $0.99 for every single product you sell on Amazon. So, if you'd be selling more than 40 items a month, you should register as a professional seller. Since you're are just testing the waters, the Amazon individual seller would be ideal for you.
FBA simply means fulfilled by Amazon, this model was started by Amazon few years ago. Basically what it entails is that Amazon helps you ship your products to your customers, for a fee. With this model, the hassle of shipping and doing customer care is eliminated. All you need do is source for the products, package them and ship to an Amazon fulfilment centre closest to you. If you are also thinking of how to sell on Amazon prime, it's same way. Only Amazon FBA sellers are eligible to take part in Amazon Prime. Amazon takes care of the goods getting to your customers.
Now that we know the advantage of be an Amazon FBA seller, how do you become an FBA seller? First you need to register to be an Amazon seller.
Log on to www.services.amazon.com to create an Amazon seller account. When prompted, choose the Amazon individual seller option as earlier stated. Next click "inventory" to add your products, after you've added your products and details regarding the products, such as its condition and price, next would be to convert your products to FBA products. On your home seller page, click on the "manage inventory" option. Next, click the "Actions" button, then click on "change to fulfilled by Amazon" option. So from now on, your inventory will be fulfilled by Amazon.
We've seen how to sell on Amazon for free, now we are going to see how to become an Amazon seller with little capital. Compared to other methods for sourcing for inventory, retail arbitrage is the cheapest to start.
The idea behind this is to buy low, extremely low actually, and then sell high. Go into stores doing clearance sales, or some kind of promo. Just make sure the goods are available to be bought at a very low price, so you can flip it for profit on Amazon. The question is how to know which product will be profitable or not. Well that's where the Amazon seller app comes in. it is a very important weapon in the arsenal of anyone who sources for inventory using retail arbitrage. With the app you can scan the bar code of any product you're going to buy. It shows you very important information about the product you are about to buy.
First you get to see a pictorial representation of the product, how much it costs on Amazon, (i.e. both the highest selling price and the lowest selling price. How much profit you'd be making after Amazon has taken commission, ranking of the product and so many more. If you are to do retail arbitrage successfully, then you need to have the Amazon seller app or its equivalent. The app is free to use, you can get it on Google Play Store or on the App store.
You can also do this online, you can check online stores like Walmart and others, see goods that are being sold at giveaway prices, compare them on Amazon, and then see how much profit you can make. Unlike when you are doing the Private Label Model, there's no minimum quantity you have to order. You can buy one item or a thousand items. The more you buy though, the more profit you can make.
The time to start is now, you don't have to wait until you have that $2000, to become an Amazon seller. If money has been your excuse, I guess you no longer have any excuse, start small, and then gradually scale your business.

Fake lawyer who was jailed for tricking high-ranking judges BANNED from profession
By Thomas Connelly on May 24 2016 1:26pm
Mohammed Kabba received a 16 month custodial sentence last summer for pretending to be a solicitor during an immigration case
A man who was jailed for duping senior judges into thinking he was a solicitor in order to represent a client in an immigration case has been banned from the profession.
Mohammed Kabba — a Sierra Leone national living in Kidlington, Oxfordshire — was jailed for 16 months last summer at Birmingham Crown Court for attempting to pervert the course of justice.
According to an Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) decision published late last week, Kabba presented himself as a solicitor not only to Home Office officials, but both a High Court judge and an Appeal Court judge.
In February 2013, Kabba — who according to the SRA report "was previously involved in a legal practice" — made an application via telephone to High Court judge Mr Justice Mitting. During the application Kabba falsely told Mitting that he was a solicitor.
Having ruled against him, Kabba then made a further application — again via telephone — to the Court of Appeal, and judge Sir Stephen Price Richards. During this application Kabba once again falsely told the judge that he was a solicitor.
Banning the 52 year-old, the SRA stated in its decision that it would be "undesirable for him [Kabba] to be involved in a legal practice".
But this isn't the first time members of the public have been caught attempting to forge a legal career without the appropriate credentials. David Sydney Evans — who had no legal training — popped on a wig and gown and strolled into Plymouth Crown Court to represent a friend in a criminal trial back in 2012.
It was only after Evans made a series of glaring legal errors during submissions that he was eventually rumbled. The fake barrister was jailed for 18 months.

The oldest surviving creative artefacts are engravings of apparently non representational forms. These 'entoptic' phenomena include grids and lattices, circles, spirals, parallel lines, concentric and other geometric shapes. The recurrence of these form constants throughout human history and prehistory, and their coincidence across diverse civilisations, suggests either powerful cultural units - super memes, or a common neurological origin. In the later theory, V1 cells of the visual cortex are the culprits...they do what they like when you doze off.
The mark of the hand is everywhere in the earliest human creations, but that may also be related to our hard wired brains. Many V1 cells are biased to quite specific visual orientations, sequences and angles. In this exhibition, the splayed fingers serve not just as a vehicle for optical attention, but also for something both ancient and infantile - our common origins. The hand is also a device well suited to the recording of parallel lines... and circles.
My strategy has been to reduce the field to non-representational visual forms. The paintings proceed by chance and accretion - in reverse. Means and artefact can become pleasantly confused. Films of paint are transferred from one surface to another, layered, superimposed, or juxtaposed. Symmetry and geometry may be a result of a certain mindless, random procedure. The structures turn in on themselves, like a Poincaré conjecture.
These paintings attempt to by-pass the particular in favour of the universal. Against my will they conspire to represent nothing. I submit, and am rewarded by an unlikely morsel. Self-conscious determinism, expectation and idealisms are sacrificed to the unpredictable. In all of this there are consequences rich in metaphorical potential - transparency, elasticity, overlapping, folding and unfolding, uncovering and overturning. Margins inhabit the centres. And these painting are made of holes.
If the work wants me to be indifferent, it tolerates occasional dissent. Any distant intervention on my part is a guilty pleasure. It's fun. That's the recompense. And then there are the titles. A similar methodology of detachment demands to be applied to words. In progress, the paintings don't have titles, but words and notes occur. Titles are devised on resolution. Sometimes they arrive as acronym and anagram. Some paintings prefer only one or two syllable names. More obviously titled, the 'Rounder' cd objects are multifaceted - at once artefact, by-product and template for the proliferating small 'Rounderbout' canvases. In some pieces, titles are derived from songs - submitted to slight alteration. Mere superficial association to the artwork is needed - a colour perhaps. By removal of a single letter, a song title such as 'Baby Lemonade' (by Syd Barrett) becomes 'Baby LeMonde'; 'Grey Lagoons' (by Roxy Music) changes phonetically, to 'Grail Log-Ons'; 'Skeleton Keyhole' speaks for itself – one hole fits all keys; the painting 'Punspermia' is a pun on Pan. Panspermia being the theory that Life came to this planet Earth from elsewhere, already equipped for diversity.


Original article published on Hub of All Things.
It's commonly stated that individuals: a) don't know what their personal data is worth, and b) give it up in exchange for "free" services, which then are powered economically by the value of the large amount of user data in terms of targeted advertising, marketing recommendations, analytics, and so forth. This is the famous two-sided market. In a similar way, the Internet of Things (IoT) has largely evolved a collection of services that often appear to be free, but in fact make this same trade-off. Hence, smart metering for utilities empowers the electricity-generating and grid companies to optimise their price/performance better, just as Tesco's Clubcard allows the supermarket group to optimise its range and quality of goods.
What is currently somewhat different in the IoT world from the cloud world is that each of the services in the different IoT sectors is separate and exists in a silo. Hence, you cannot (easily) connect information between your smart meter, your home security management, your environmental control, your home and in-car entertainment systems, your fitness and wellbeing monitoring and control, and your social media (email, messaging, diaries, etc).
Where all websites on the Internet are connected and possibly linked, and all e-mail systems (whether web mail or traditional) are in principle inter-working, the IoT world is not. In fact, an IoT is a collection of many disjointed networks of things, using the Internet to transfer sensor and actuator data to and from each IoT service sector's cloud service, and offering, typically, only a remote web API to the user.
Does this sound familiar? It is actually pretty much like Facebook and Google Search, which are essentially monopolies in each of their respective sectors of social networks, and of search engines. Hence IoT is not so different at one level.
At another level however, it IS different, because no one is able to offer third-party integration of IoT services in the current structure. In other word, no one can become the Google Search+Analytics of Things. If someone could however, it might prove to be problematic in terms of risks to end-users.
Enter the HAT – the Hub of All Things.
At the top level, the HAT offers a privacy-preserving Data Exchange (currently dubbed HATDeX), which works like many other exchanges; it's a marketplace, like a currency exchange, for HAT data.
At the next level down are the actual HATs, of which there can be many. These are places where we unpick the silos and collect together all the data for a user or a set of users. A user's data is stored in a personal cloud, possibly one personal cloud per person (i.e. 10 billion clouds worldwide, potentially) ideally, but can also be stored in a HAT, and certainly is mirrored (a copy kept) in the HAT.
The user can switch HATs as there may be millions of HAT providers (at least 100s per country – by analogy, there are 300 ISPs in the UK and changing ISP is trivial).
The HATDeX contracts with all the HATs – if a given HAT breaks the rules, then the HATDeX can evict them.
The HAT provider is remunerated by the user and may be paid for additional services by the HATDeX as well – they already make money, so greed is counter-productive.
The HATs are certified – they can choose different technologies to implement privacy and other service policy rules, as innovation happens in that space (e.g. differential privacy might be replaced by zero-knowledge computations, which might get updated to use homomorphic encryption, as advances are made). Standards allow interworking between IoT silos, open IoT platforms and HATs and between HATs and the HATDeX.
The key to this is that the HAT project defines interfaces, APIs and schemas, as well as rights and obligations in terms of contracts, not detailed mechanism, so that developers can improve various aspects of the systems over time, without changing the relationships between stakeholders.
Of course, there could be data leakage. However, by distributing users over many HATs, which may be quite heterogenous in terms of hardware, software, location/jurisdiction, etc, the risk of massive data leakage is massively reduced. The incentive alignment design also means that the mission creep that is sometimes called "honest but curious" is not present, and the certification makes sure to reduce accidental or deliberate back doors.
This won't prevent every problem. In particular, in a very large-scale data collection system like this, different HATs might not easily be able to detect someone carrying out queries across them to do re-linking. However, it isn't clear why someone (outside of law enforcement) would do this, since they can do commercial cases for re-linking subject to rules through the HATDeX anyhow, and running arbitrage on an optimal market is (allegedly), a seriously losing proposition.
New cloud technology is coming onstream that decreases the footprint of a VM (Virtual Machine) by about two orders of magnitude, allowing clouds to run on very small devices (home hubs, set-top boxes, as in the User Centric Networking (UCN, see http://usercentricnetworking.eu/) project) or even a phone or in very large numbers in traditional data centres, or both.
Cloud data can be mirrored for high availability between home, mobile, and data centre, also covering device theft or disaster recovery (similar to the Estonian Digital Governmentapproach). The cost of running a cloud at this scale is cents – rather than dollars – per month. Who pays depends on the service model the user picks. It might cost a little eyeball time, or a little less privacy, or it might be bundled in a particular IoT sector's price; if the user chooses to be part of a HAT that sells data (in a privacy-preserving way) on the HATDeX, then the resource payments are covered by profit.
The HAT project is forging a new social contract for users and business in the context of the IoT. By respecting privacy and the ownership of personal data, we can see new ways to create markets from new services which have hitherto been blocked by the walled gardens of Cloud Services in the Internet today. Instead, open innovation can be enabled by careful definition of the relationships between stakeholders in this brave new cyber-physical world.
For more on how the tech of the HAT works, read the HAT Tech Briefing Paper which is currently open for consultation.

Puerto Rico on Wednesday launched a bid for statehood by announcing a shadow delegation to lobby Congress.
Republican Resident Commissioner Jenniffer González-Colón announced the commission's members on the House floor, The Hill reports, saying Puerto Rico was reduced "to a second-class citizenship" because of its territorial status.
Democratic Gov. Ricardo Rossell� names these shadow senators: former Democratic Gov. Carlos Romero Barcel� and Republican Zoraida Fonalledas.
The shadow representatives are Democratic former Gov. Pedro Rossell� Gonz�lez; GOP ex-Gov. Luis Fortu�o; Charles Rodr�guez, a Democrat and former president of the Puerto Rico Senate; Alfonso Aguilar, a Republican and former chief of the U.S. Office of Citizenship, and baseball Hall of Famer Iv�n 'Pudge' Rodr�guez, who is an Independent.
Fortu�o and Romero will have access to the House floor, since both have been resident commissioners, The Hill reports.
Rossell� said Wednesday "everyone has seen not only on a theory level, but on a pragmatic level, what it means to be a second-class citizen" because of weak federal support after Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
"The opportunity was there to show that we were going to be treated equally," Rossell� told the Hill, "and by and large there has been a demonstration that we weren't."
The Statehood Commission, Rossell� said, would lobby Congress to pass a law giving Puerto Ricans a final chance to decide whether they would want statehood.
The vote would be done through binding referendum.
In June, Puerto Rico held a nonbinding referendum, where 97 percent of voters supported statehood, although only 23 percent of eligible voters turned out, according to the report.
Announcing a shadow delegation to lobby Congress, Puerto Rico on Wednesday launched a bid for U.S. statehood after being reduced "to a second-class citizenship" because of its territorial status amid this fall's hurricanes.


An intriguing AFC West match-up will be taking place on Thursday Night Football this week, as the Oakland Raiders are set to play host to the Kansas City Chiefs. This continues the trend of very intriguing Thursday Night Football games, which continues to reverse a trend that has been plaguing TNF ratings over the past couple of years.
The Kansas City Chiefs are undoubtedly one of the best teams in football, as they are led by a multi-pronged attack that includes the likes of Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt, who has proven to be one of the season's biggest surprises. Hunt stepped in after Ware went down for the season, and he is currently one of the league's most dynamic players.
The Oakland Raiders have stumbled out of the gate this year, though they will benefit from Derek Carr continuing to return to full health. The Raiders are desperately hoping to get Amari Cooper going, as they hope to re-establish the 1-2 punch of Crabtree and Cooper. This would open up the field for Marshawn Lynch, who has underperformed expectations so far.
Another thing to keep in mind is that this is a short week for both teams, which means that there could be some sloppy play.
While the Chiefs are the better team, the Raiders will be playing at home. The Chiefs have been ventilated by QBs so far this year, so it will be interesting to see if Derek Carr and company finally get their games going.

Essential vibes (2): K-pop, hip-hop, Pakistan music, Swedish house, trance and UK
The global village is getting smaller but despite this the world is faced with countless problems, therefore, music is a welcome release and can be a force of good. After all, music can transcend political, economic, and religious barriers if given the opportunity. Therefore, this mix is meant to represent the global village but clearly not everyone will agree with the songs selected by the above writers at Modern Tokyo Times.
The first essential tune selected is "Someone Like You" by Adele who was born in London, England. "Someone Like You" is a very powerful track and was internationally acclaimed. Adele is blessed with a lovely voice and she certainly connected with vast numbers of people with this fabulous track.
In the track by Adele it is clear that the lyrics will connect with many souls. During magic moments everything seems possible but for whatever reason it all falls apart but a grimace of hope remains until the final reality is realized. Therefore, without a shadow of doubt this is an essential track because "Someone Like You" hits the heart.
The next track selected is "Say What's Real" by Drake who is a music artist of great skill because he "sounds real" without the "hype." Therefore, the lyrics may be a million miles away from "Someone Like You" and harder hitting. However, despite this, the passion is the same and Drake is clearly highly talented.
It was difficult to choose either "Say What's Real" or "Trust Issues" by Drake because both tracks are inspirational in many ways. Drake, just like Adele, for different reasons, can relate to individuals across the international spectrum. Therefore, Drake who was born in Canada is certainly making waves within the music industry.
In Northeast Asia and throughout the continent the rise of K-pop continues to flourish and gradually this music is impacting on the European, North American, and South American scene. Given this, it was essential to include a K-pop track in this mix and with so many talented artists to pick from the choice was extremely difficult.
However, in this essential mix the selection was "Milestone" by BoA because the lyrics are very beautiful and the track highlights the passion of a very talented individual. BoA is an iconic singer from the K-pop scene who clearly made a huge hit when she focused on the Japanese market during her early period. Therefore, it was great to hear BoA sing "Milestone" in Japan because this elegant lady from South Korea is truly international in outlook.
Turning back to the British music scene and the lovely track called "Come On" by Will Young. In this track you can feel a connection between the adult and memories of childhood. Not only this, the lyrics and backdrop all come together and while this singer reached the top the hard way, he fully deserves the acclaim of this stylish track.
The next track selected is a million miles away from Will Young but Laal who come from Pakistan is a special group. Their track called "Inqalab" is extremely potent and shows the real power of music. This applies to a powerful message which refuses to be silenced because some individuals use their talents for the good of others and this certainly applies to Laal.
Therefore, it is essential that Laal and other groups with powerful messages are heard. Another potent track by Laal applies to "Dehshatgardi Murdabad" (Death to Terrorism) which is focused on the hidden reality of modern day Afghanistan and Pakistan. This applies to the past deeds of CIA involvement and how these two societies were overwhelmed by a "hidden combination of dark forces." Laal, uniquely, provide their deep message about the brutality of absolute capitalism and other important issues by fusing this with catchy lyrics and stylish musical beats.
In all mixes it is great to focus on a track which hit the heights many years ago therefore "Ghetto Gospel" by 2Pac was selected. This amazing track remains potent today because it shows the "soul of an individual who was a deep thinker." The track selected features Elton John but the legend of 2Pac dominates because he left a rich legacy and highlighted aspects of America in "the raw."
Moving to Sweden and the dance track "Penguin" by Avicii which did well throughout Europe. This dance track highlights the diversity of the European house scene because the nature of house music means it is easily transferable and not constrained by language. The future of Avicii looks extremely bright because Tim Bergling is only 22 and this individual should influence the European house scene for many years to come.
The final track is from Pobsky who hails from Greater Manchester in England. His trance track called "Dark Cloud" is full of vitality and throughout you have no weakness. If this track doesn't get the pulse racing then trance/house isn't for you.
In this essential mix number two by Modern Tokyo Times we have highlighted artists from America, Canada, Pakistan, South Korea, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Music means many things to many people but at its best it can reach the inner-soul and be a power for so much good.

About Pomì
POMÌ: ITALIAN EXCELLENCE ABROAD
Details that make Pomì a 100% Italian product with 100% international excellence
When we talk about Made in Italy, we think of Italian excellence in the foreign market, especially in the food sector.
Like extra virgin olive oil and pasta, tomato purée has also gained recognition within the range of products that distinguish Italy internationally.
Pomì, which has been active in the main foreign markets for some time with its products – with major distribution in Germany, Austria, Russia, the Middle East, Lebanon, the UAE and the United States – has established itself as a true Italian Excellence Ambassador worldwide, a company that can satisfy discerning and demanding foreign consumers.
Because Made in Italy is above all a synonym of quality, of a product made in compliance with high quality standards, in terms of both raw materials and above all ethical and environmental sustainability.
And Pomì represents all-Italian production and especially a group of people – with a passion for cultivation, land and the environment – who work on a shared project that is rooted in the local area, but devoted to conveying and sharing its values worldwide: a love for the land that produces tomatoes of undeniable quality and total attention and sensitivity that comes from being first and foremost a family, not only a supply chain.
These are also the values that Pomì is committed to transferring and communicating abroad, values that have made it stand out on a global scale as an excellent Italian product.
It is not a simple business in the foreign market, in which Made in Italy has to often contend with counterfeiting and imitation. It is therefore important to inform and win over foreign consumers by telling them something about the product's characteristics, its story, the supply chain and the work.
All details that make Pomì a 100% Italian product with 100% international excellence.
ALSO IN FOOD TRENDS
Good, not just at Christmas
We're all better at Christmas. But our goodness goes well beyond Christmas.
Good manners in the field
This concept embraces the values of the short and clean Pomì supply chain, inspired by the zero kilometer principle: this is why tomatoes grown close to home are the primary ingredient of all our products.
Summer, the season of Pomì tomatoes
Summer is when the lands of the Consortium provide us with their finest fruit; at Pomì we prepare to celebrate it by harvesting and processing, bringing tomato to the table in all its facets: the softness of puree, the veracity of pulp and the freshness of diced tomatoes...

Q: Merging two datasets - Outer spatial join of MODIS and Drought Code data I have two data frames, one with Modis data and another is drought code data in the following format:

*

*Modis Data
modis_gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame(
    modis_df, geometry=gpd.points_from_xy(modis_df['lat'], modis_df['lon']))

*

*Drought Code
drought_code_gdf = gpd.GeoDataFrame(
    drought_code_df, geometry=gpd.points_from_xy(drought_code_df['lat'], drought_code_df['lon']))

I am required to get the merged output of two data as follows:

*

*Outer join the tables (Having data from both datasets - filled with NaN values for columns with no values)

*Join by the nearest location for a given date (Join on:YYYYMMDD)

*If no data exists for that date, include it in output with NaN in the corresponding merged column values for the other table.

Naively, I was thinking of something on the following fronts:
modis_gdf['geometry'] = modis_gdf.geometry.buffer(1.0)

dc_modis_ojoin = drought_code_gdf.merge(modis_gdf, how="outer", on="YYYYMMDD")\
    .loc[lambda d: d["geometry_y"]!=None & d["geometry_y"].contains(d["geometry_x"])]

The lambda function is incorrect, and gives the following error:
AttributeError: 'Series' object has no attribute 'contains'

But the approach was: 1. Outer join based on date, 2. Filter out data if the point is not contained within the polygon.
I am new to this world of working with Pandas/GeoPandas.

All Please Kill Me Posts
The Day Lemmy Taught Me About Speed
Chris Simunek November 5, 2018
All Please Kill Me PostsBest OfChris SimunekCool PeopleInterviewsMusicians9 Comments 5
13Reddit
Motörhead's leader holds forth on the joys of the powder, the dangers of heroin, the need for a code of honor and the saving grace of rock & roll
It was as incongruous a sight as you could hope to see in the mid-afternoon light of the Burbank Hilton lounge—Lemmy Kilmister, the subsonic genius behind Motörhead, standing alone at the bar, hunched over a glass of whiskey like a bronze statue of Atlas sinking beneath the weight of a metal sky. He was dressed in black with two studded belts and a pair of white ankle boots with Cuban heels like Elvis used to wear onstage in Vegas.
The Hilton was hosting a heavy metal music seminar called Foundations Forum, only this was the mid-1990's, a time when major labels were dropping their metal acts and looking for the next Limp Bizkit. Spandex and Satanism were out, baseball caps and Caucasian rap were in, and Lemmy was drinking by himself in the nutsack of the City of Angels like he couldn't give a fuck either way.
I've never been one to bug rock stars when I encounter them in the terrestrial plane. Life is humiliating enough without the added burden of knowing your heroes think you're a dick. But Lemmy was a man of the people. I figured I would say hello, and if he told me to fuck off, then I'd just have to live with that memory every time I cranked "Love Me Like a Reptile" from then on until the day I died.
At the time I was an editor at High Times, the dope rag, and introduced myself as such. His reply was immediate and brusque. "High Times? All you guys write about are faggot drugs like ecstasy and mar-i-juan-a," he said, spitting out the last four syllables with an effete inflection as if to infer that potheads all think they are superior to glue-huffers but they ain't.
"Your magazine never tells the truth about speed," he said derisively. "They're so fucking precious, aren't they? 'Oh, we just smoke marijuana.' Hooray for you! What do you spend your time doing? Dreaming of times gone by, burning holes in the front of your fucking shirt? I smoke dope. I've smoked enough dope to make your fucking head swim."
At that moment, some rock & roller with a whammy bar and a dream walked up to Lemmy and laid his band's press kit on him. Lemmy was courteous, shook the kid's hand, but when the kid walked away, he threw the package on the bar like it was a Nickelback album. The scene was burned. I sensed an opportunity.
"If you want to tell me the truth about speed," I told Lemmy, "I'm right here."
To that end, Lemmy invited me up to his suite to educate me on a subject that was near and dear to his sputtering heart.
Once upstairs, we sat down at a table overlooking the hotel pool. Lemmy poured us each a water glass full of Jim Beam and proceeded to deliver the amphetamine gospel with the same earnestness with which Bob Marley used to proselytize about ganja.
"I think that speed's a very maligned drug," he said. "It used to be given to housewives to avoid depression. And it works—look, I'm smiling here. It's utilitarian. It gets you on a stage, where you wouldn't otherwise have done it: 'Fuck, a gig? Tonight?' I mean, what you say when you get up there is variable. I don't recommend the drug to everybody, some people can't handle it, they get very twitchy, it sends them out the window and all. But it's certainly never killed anybody I know. Whereas heroin killed everybody. It stopped my generation in its tracks."
"The Ramones came out the same time as us," he said. "Me and Joey understand rock & roll because we love it. It's our life, our religion. It fills every gap you got. You can sleep with it, you can fuck it, you can lick it, you can prod it, roll it, taste it, anything you want."
"What's the best speed?" I asked.
"In the old days, you used to get methyl-amphetamine hydrochloride, which is liquid," he said. "It was to be shot, really, but none of us used to shoot it. We used to put nine of 'em in a glass of orange juice, drank that. That's where my teeth went. That's one thing speed does, it rots your fucking teeth. We used to go to a Hyde Park concert and talk to everybody there within three-quarters of an hour. We took drugs. We weren't ashamed of it. I'm still not ashamed of it."
At one point during our conversation, Lemmy reached over and turned my tape recorder off. Producing a sandwich-sized Ziploc bag with about a half-ounce of white powder in it, he poured a pile on the table the size of an anthill you might come across in a Zambian jungle. He dabbed it with his finger and put it in his mouth, then motioned for me to do the same. I didn't know a whole lot about crank and took a baby hit of the Motördust, which pissed Lemmy off.
"Finish it up, man! It's not gonna kill you!"
I did as I was told and chased the bitter powder down with some bourbon. The combination left my mouth tasting like I had just fellated the tailpipe of a Panzer tank.
"I got hold of my son, I found out he was doing cocaine," Lemmy lamented. "I said, 'Look, coke's all right, but speed's better. I don't mind you doing coke. If you ever do smack and I find out, I'll kill you. Because I'd rather have that on my conscience than watch you die slowly.'"
As the liquor and meth hit my dopamine receptors like Allied bombers over Dresden, Lemmy regaled me with stories culled from a lifetime in the rock'n'roll trenches. He'd been a horse breeder in Wales before Little Richard's "Lucille" and "Good Golly Miss Molly" rearranged his priorities. He told me about being a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, how the Beatles were a better band than the Stones, how Motörhead's first guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke was an emotional drunk who used to quit the band every other week, and how one time Johnny Thunders was in a studio in London, falling asleep on dope, so they called Lemmy and asked him to bring over some speed so they could rescue the session. He felt an affinity for the punks. He said that if it wasn't for the length of their hair, Motörhead would have been considered a punk band.
"The Ramones came out the same time as us," he said. "Me and Joey understand rock & roll because we love it. It's our life, our religion. It fills every gap you got. You can sleep with it, you can fuck it, you can lick it, you can prod it, roll it, taste it, anything you want. Music will always be there for you, and if you're lonely in the night, you can just put a record on, and everything you had then comes back."
He had little use for the conference that had brought us both together.
"You hear that panel I was on?" he barked. "You never heard such a load of waffle in your life." Lemmy had taken part in a seminar the previous day. Sitting there under the fluorescent lights of a hotel conference room, he'd railed on about the spirit of rock'n'roll, and this record executive sitting next to him, a man who'd probably earned more money off the last Coolio album than Lemmy'd made in his life, would preface his response to each of Lemmy's points with the line, "Well, from an industry standpoint…"
He felt an affinity for the punks. He said that if it wasn't for the length of their hair, Motörhead would have been considered a punk band.
"An industry standpoint!" Lemmy exclaimed. "Let's have a look at that. 'We sell everything to everybody, and we don't care what it is.' Fucking brilliant. Integrity, out the window. Everybody cleans up off bands, man, and then they get treated like shit. Everybody pays their bills with the band's money. All these rich bastards at the Grammys. I went to the Grammys. We got one in 1990, for 1916. I went over there to Radio City in New York. I'm sitting there, and I've got me denim jacket on and the Iron Cross on the bare chest. I figured, I was dressed like this when I was writing the song. I was dressed like this when I was playing the song. So it seems right that I should dress like this when I'm gonna get an award. About five or six bands walk in, long hair and the dickie-bow, a hired tuxedo that didn't fit. I said to a couple of them, 'What the fuck are you doing, man? You come to their dance and you dress as the enemy? Because they are your enemy, they've taken all your money and then you come to their celebration of themselves, and you're dressed like them? Why don't you give them a blowjob while you're at it?' All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain't got it no more."
"That's what rock & roll has been about from the very beginning!" I said.
"Basically, 'Fuck you,' that's what rock & roll is," he replied.
I grew up Catholic, I've eaten and drank the body and blood of Christ, but the words "fuck you" have served me better in life than any of the beatitudes, and rock & roll has provided me with more solace than any of the Lord's prayers. So hanging out with Lemmy and imbibing his sacraments felt like a natural progression of my spiritual journey. After the speed hit me, and I began running down my own chronological history, Lemmy stopped me around the third-grade point and indicated that his tutorial was over.
It was time now for me to go back into the world and spread his message amongst the plebs: Speed is awesome, heroin sucks, and rock & roll is a better drug than either of them.

I love reading articles here. Great stuff!! Being a die hard JThunders fan, this seems the only place to read the gospel and swallow it without gagging. I've read so many articles here, and just about every possible scribe you can imagine.
However, I have never read something so funny and, in many ways, dead pan brilliant as this with Lemmy. I'm still laughing more at how fucking unique he was. Thanks and keep all the good stuff coming.

This Lemy fellow needs more education. Heroin death is rare. To die from heroin one needs to have alcohol added to the system. Look at Janis Joplin's autopsy report… and this is a fact. If you use heroin avoid alcohol, benzodiazapams and barbituates.
And speed does not rot teeth but lack of dental care is the problem especially with a steady diet of sugar and not brushing.
December 5, 2019 Roy Reply
Please don't spread false information about heroin use on a public forum. A person does not need to have alcohol in their system to die from heroin. Yes mixing heroin with alcohol or benzos etc is very dangerous, but far from a necessity to die from heroin. Many users die simply by taking heroin purer than they expected it to be. Heroin death is far from rare. I don't know if your just misinformed or possibly a user in denial but i would urge you to do some research into the subject from a credible source. You may also want to look up more about Lemmy, his life and his almost legendary drug use. He was far from in need of education when it came to drugs.
Also while i agree that poor dental care is the main reason for tooth rot, speed does cause dry mouth which accelerates the problem and jaw clenching that can crack or loosen teeth.

Speed and alcohol are, by far, the worst fucking drugs I've ever had the displeasure of doing. Both have hangovers that are fucking many orders of magnitude worse than any fleeting "good feelings" received. But hey, we all gotta put bread on the table somehow so keep bullshitting and spreading lies about conversations that never happened. What do i care?

I only knew one guy who was into speed, he used to play Snake on his 3310 for literally 10 hours at a time

Your fucking dumb heroin ruined his generation do you know anything about rock history? I could go on and on about celebrity deaths and how addicting heroin is. The night after Nikki sixx literally died and was brought back by a paramedic he did MORE HEROIN. Legit after dying from it. Educate your self more before talking about other people

Age-, tissue- and length-dependent bidirectional somatic CAG•CTG repeat instability in an allelic series of R6/2 Huntington disease mice
Larson, E., Fyfe, I., Morton, A. J. and Monckton, D. G. (2015) Age-, tissue- and length-dependent bidirectional somatic CAG•CTG repeat instability in an allelic series of R6/2 Huntington disease mice. Neurobiology of Disease, 76, pp. 98-111. (doi:10.1016/j.nbd.2015.01.004) (PMID:25662336)
The expansion of simple sequence CAG•CTG repeats is associated with a number of inherited disorders including Huntington disease (HD), myotonic dystrophy type 1 and several of the spinocerebellar ataxias. Inherited disease-associated alleles usually exceed 40 repeats and may be in excess of 1,000 repeats in some disorders. Inherited allele length is inversely proportional to age at onset, and frequent germline expansions account for the striking anticipation observed in affected families. Expanded disease associated alleles are also somatically unstable via a pathway that is age dependent and tissue specific, and also appears to be expansion biased. Somatic expansions are thought to contribute toward both tissue specificity and disease progression. Here we have examined the somatic mutational dynamics in brain and peripheral tissues from an allelic series of R6/2 HD transgenic mice inheriting from 52 to > 700 CAG repeats. We found age-dependent, tissue-specific somatic instability, with particularly large expansions observed in the striatum and cortex. We also found a positive increase in somatic instability with increasing allele length. Surprisingly, however, the degree of somatic variation did not increase in a linear fashion, but leveled off with increasing allele length. Most unexpectedly, the almost exclusive bias toward the accumulation of expansions observed in mice inheriting smaller alleles was lost, and a high frequency of large somatic contractions was observed in mice inheriting very large alleles (> 500 repeats). These data highlight the bidirectional nature of CAG•CTG repeat instability and the subtle balance that exists between expansion and contraction in vivo. Defining the dynamics and tissue specificity of expansion and contraction is important for understanding the role of genetic instability in pathophysiology and in particular the development of novel therapies based on suppressing expansions and/or promoting contractions.

Another iconic aircraft is being retired.
The U.S. Marine Corps is deactivating its last remaining EA-6B Prowler squadron on Mar. 8, 2019.
Marine Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 2 (VMAQ-2) was the last to fly the Prowler in combat, supporting troops who were taking on Islamic State group terrorists in the Middle East late last year.
The squadron completed its last deployment in support of Operation Resolute Support and Freedom's Sentinel in Afghanistan as well as Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq and Syria in October 2018.
During the last deployment the aircraft have supported ground-attack strikes by disrupting enemy electromagnetic activity and, as a secondary mission, they have flown to collect tactical electronic intelligence within a combat zone. Despite their age, the EA-6Bs have been among the most important assets in the air war against Daesh: they eavesdropped "enemy" radio signals and jammed those frequencies in order to prevent terrorists from talking one another on the radio or cell phone, or use portable transmitters to trigger IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices).
The main aircraft equipments were the AN/ALQ-99 and USQ-113 pods, whose number and position on the underwing pylons depend on several factors.
The AN/ALQ-99 is used to blind enemy radars, and the ECMO-2 and 3, the back seat flyers, are responsible for it, while the USQ-113 is used to jam the enemy interceptors radio communication in order to prevent them communicating with their GCI (Ground Controlled Interceptor) or with other fighters. This is operated by the ECMO-1 who sits next to the pilot and is responsible also for the radio communication, the navigation and the defensive electronic countermeasures of the aircraft.
These pods use the data library of the computer of the aircraft. Here inside, all the main characteristics of the frequencies and "signatures" of any radar used by the enemy is recorded. The ECMOs analyze the signals received from the on board passive systems and once checked the type of radar that emitted them, start tailoring the jamming required to face it.
The jamming can consist in a saturation of the radar frequencies to blind it completely or in a deceiving with false targets appearing on the enemy radar screens. If the crew decide to destroy the enemy radar, its signal is stored in the on board computer that transmits it to the launch computer of the missile, the Command Launch Computer, that identifies and visualizes the target and set the priority among more than one target.
Once launched, at a distance of less than 30 nautical miles, this jewel 316.856 Dollars worth, heads at 2.280 Km/h against the target, destroying it with the fragmentation of its warhead that embodies a proximity sensor. One of the biggest trouble the Prowler community and planners had to face during Northern and Southern Watch and Allied Force is that some pro-Russian countries (such as Iraq and Yugoslavia) use some old SA-2 and SA-3 systems recently upgraded. The CIA and NSA (National Security Agency) knew little about these systems before those commitments and this means their data weren't in the archive of the Prowlers' computers. Despite being based on old fashioned SAM systems, the upgraded SA-2 and 3, use seeking and tracking systems that must be still discovered and analyzed. Thanks to the Prowler some of these system have today less secrets for the NATO than before and represent just limited threats.
EA-6B deployed more than 70 times to support every major combat operation, including those in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Serbia.
Commonly, EA-6B flew missions in pair, orbiting at medium level: old low level flights were banned in the Kosovo theatre of operations since the risk to fly through SAM, MANPADS and AAA range was very height below 15.000 feet.
The orbit was positioned at a variable distance from the target depending on the weather conditions and altitude in the area, and reciprocal position and separation of the two aircraft was maintained referring to a previously established point, code named "Bullseye", whose distance and radial were broadcasted in frequency by the pilot of the leader aircraft to the wingman using one of the on board radios (2 UHF, 2VHF, 1 HF and 1 SATCOM for satellite communications) that use the HAVE QUICK II system. This secure system uses the frequency hopping techniques to fragment the same sentence randomly on more frequencies. However it couldn't be used in all missions because packages in Kosovo were also composed by aircraft belonging to nations not equipped with HQ radios compatible with the US ones. This usually compelled all aircraft to broadcast their messages "in the red" (in the clear) with heightened risk of being heard by the enemy, even though the codewords were changed daily and most of the mission was flown "COM out".
The pre-planned orbits were performed with the help of the INS and GPS: aircraft flew in such a way that while the first aircraft was in the turn or in its outbound lag from the target position, the other was flying inbound to the objective, in order to continuously blind the enemy radars even if one of the emitters' effectiveness is reduced by the fact that an aircraft is turning. Since the Prowler pods emit their electronic jamming parallel to the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, orbits were always perpendicular to the target.
Being some of the most valuable targets for the enemy anti-aircraft defenses that used upgraded SA-2, SA-3, and modern SA-6, the Prowlers, when orbiting shared all the signals received via data-link. The aircraft of the flight usually jammed the enemy radars alternately to deceive the last generation missiles that autonomously head towards the source of the "jamming": this tactics was aimed to confusing SAMs by way of continuous variations of the position and intensity of the signal emitted by the source aircraft.
Three Prowler squadrons were deactivated ahead of VMAQ-2. VMAQ-1, in May 2016, VMAQ-4 in June 2017 and VMAQ-3 in May 2018.

Present Research - September 2022
My current research aims to explore societal expectations towards culpability appraisal and sanction beliefs against individuals who make error in a safety-critical context. The study will attempt to examine if national culture has any influence on those expectations and beliefs. In my previous research on influences on flight crew reporting behaviour, I suggested that the effectiveness of the just culture construct should be examined in a range of cultural settings. The results of the research raised the question of what could be regarded as 'unjust' treatment towards an error-making individual in one culture, could be considered as 'just' and expected treatment in another. Therefore, this raises additional questions about a just culture and the possibility of ethnocentric biases, as a just culture is predominantly a 'western-world' construct, and may not be readily adopted in all cultural settings. The study sets out to examine if differences exist in culpability appraisal and expectations of appropriate sanction against individuals who have made errors that result in a decrease of safety. The study will examine and make a comparison between participants from two different national cultural groups, members of Australian and Chinese societies.
A qualitative research design has been employed constituting two participant groups representative of Australian and Chinese society. The material and measures comprise of an online questionnaire of self-construal items, and a responsibility appraisal and sanctions function questionnaire consisting of four incident scenarios and associated questions designed to examine the specific areas of investigation. The questionnaire consists of two sections.
Section 1 of the questionnaire contains twenty-four Self-Construal Scale (SCS) items. The SCS is a two-dimensional scale measuring individualistic and collectivist characteristics of each participant group (i.e., national culture characteristics).
Section 2 of the questionnaire incorporates four scenarios that involve a human operator involved in an error situation resulting in injury of varying degrees of severity to other persons. The scenarios are contextualised to represent settings of reasonable familiarity to the participants (e.g., as a passenger on a commercial airliner). The scenario-based questions are designed to measure if any differences exist between the two participant groups with the variables of responsibility appraisal, and the assignment of, and severity of sanctions. A context manipulation is made to each scenario to investigate if variation in human operator behaviour influences the strength of participant responsibility appraisals and assignment of sanction.
Two versions of the questionnaire are utilised, one version written in English language, and the second version translated to simplified Chinese language for the participants located in China.
The research is currently at the participant response (data capture) stage.
Previous Research 2014 - 2021
The focus of my first research project was on safety culture, and specifically, voluntary reporting attitudes and behaviours of safety information by commercial flight crew, and their willingness to disclose such information through their airline's Safety Management System (SMS). The research examined trust and confidence by pilots in the construct of a 'Just Culture' that errors reported will not result in blame or sanction against them. The research specifically examined the extent to which the pilots were confident in reporting safety information, and how this translated into their reporting behaviours. Four main research areas were examined:
Investigate whether flight crew trust and have confidence in the concept of a just culture.
Examine reporting attitudes and behaviours and the level of non-reporting.
Identify the reasons why flight crew elect not to report safety information.
Understand the origins and foundation of the reasons flight crew fail to report safety information.
The research utilised a mixed methods design of quantitative and qualitative measures which involved a series of four studies. Studies 1 and 2 utilised an online questionnaire involving 809 pilot participants, and was designed to investigate:
Situational risk assessments and resulting reporting attitudes.
Confidence and trust in just culture and resulting reporting behaviours.
Studies 3 and 4 were developed on the findings of the first two studies and utilised structured interviews involving 85 pilot participants, and was designed to investigate:
The origins/foundations of fear of reprisal from reporting and other barriers and enablers to reporting
If the pilot participants had experienced reprisal from reporting safety information, and the type of reprisal.

The Women's Political Council, founded in Montgomery, Alabama, was an organization that was part of the African-American Civil Rights Movement. Members included Mary Fair Burks, Jo Ann Robinson, Irene West, Thelma Glass, and Uretta Adair. The WPC was the first group to officially call for a boycott of the bus system during the Montgomery Bus Boycott, beginning in December 1955. They helped organize communications to get it started, as well as to support it, including giving people rides who were boycotting the buses. The African Americans of Montgomery upheld the boycott for more than a year.
It ended in late December 1956, after the United States Supreme Court ruled in Browder v. Gayle that the state and local laws for bus segregation were unconstitutional, and ordered the state to desegregate public transportation.
The WPC formed in 1946 as a civic organization for African-American professional women in the city of Montgomery, Alabama. It was inspired by the Atlanta Neighborhood Union. Many of its middle-class women were active in education; most of WPC's members were educators at Alabama State College or Montgomery's public schools. About forty women attended the first organizational meeting. Mary Fair Burks, who was head of Alabama State's English department, was the group's first president.
In 1950, Burks decided to resign from the presidency, while remaining active in the organization. Robinson succeeded Burks as president.
As president, she began to study the issue of bus segregation, which affected the many blacks who were the majority of riders on the city system. First, members appeared before the City Commission to report abuses on the buses, such as blacks who were first on the bus being required later to give up seats for whites as buses became crowded. The commission acted surprised but did nothing.
In 1953, Jo Ann Robinson and other local black leaders met with the three commissioners of Montgomery. They complained that the city did not hire any black bus drivers, said that segregation of seating was unjust, and that bus stops in black neighborhoods were farther apart than in white ones, although blacks were the majority of the riders. The commissioners refused to change anything. Robinson and other WPC members met with bus company officials on their own. The segregation issue was deflected, as bus company officials said that segregation was city and state law. The WPC achieved a small victory, as the bus company officials agreed to have the buses stop at every corner in black neighborhoods, as was the practice in white neighborhoods.
In May 1954, shortly after the Brown v. Board of Education United States Supreme Court decision was announced, Robinson wrote a letter to Mayor W. A. Gayle saying that there was growing support among local black organizations for a bus boycott.
By 1955, there was growing dissatisfaction with the segregated bus system. The WPC decided that when the right person got arrested, they would initiate a boycott. When Claudette Colvin, a fifteen-year-old high school student was arrested in March 1955, for refusing to give up her seat, the WPC and other local civil rights organizations began to discuss a boycott. When they discovered that the unmarried Colvin was pregnant, they did not want to use her as the point person, as she would not have commanded support among the religious and conservative blacks. Other women were also arrested for resisting bus segregation.
Rosa Parks, the secretary of the NAACP, was arrested in December 1955; she, the NAACP and the WPC agreed that she could be the lead for a boycott. Robinson was consulted by E.D. Nixon, president of the NAACP. The night of Parks' arrest, Robinson called the other WPC leaders, and they agreed that this was the right time for a bus boycott.
Robinson stayed up all night copying 35,000 handbills by a mimeograph machine at Alabama State College to distribute the next day. She called students and arranged to meet them at elementary and high schools in the morning. She drove to the various schools to drop the handbills off to the students who would distribute them in the schools and ask students to take them home for their parents. The handbills asked blacks to boycott the buses the following Monday, December 5, in support of Parks.
By Friday night, word of a boycott had spread all over the city. That same night, local ministers and civil rights leaders held a meeting and announced the boycott for Monday. With some ministers hesitant to engage their congregations in a boycott, about half left the meeting in frustration. They decided to hold a mass meeting Monday night to decide if the boycott should continue.
The one-day boycott was so successful that the organizers met on Monday night and decided to continue. They established the Montgomery Improvement Association to organize the boycott and elected the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. as president. Jo Ann Robinson served on the group's executive board and edited their newsletter. In order to protect her position at Alabama State College and her colleagues, she stayed out of the limelight. Robinson and other WPC members helped sustain the boycott by providing car transportation for many boycotters.
On February 1, 1956, associated lawyers filed a civil suit, Browder v. Gayle, in the United States District Court, on behalf of five women who had each been arrested for defying bus segregation (one dropped out that month.) A three-judge panel ruled on June 13, 1956, that bus segregation was unconstitutional, and the case went to the US Supreme Court. It upheld the lower court ruling on December 17, 1956, and three days later ordered the state to desegregate the buses.
The boycott had demonstrated African-American organizing power and highlighted civil rights issues in the city. Its success helped further steps in the drive for civil rights.

PHMC President and CEO Richard Cohen featured in The Inquirer
Richard Cohen, PHMC's President and CEO, was featured in the December 22 edition of The Philadelphia Inquirer's "The Leadership Agenda," a business executive profile that runs regularly.
Cohen was asked about his financial model for running a successful nonprofit and the reasons behind the design of PHMC's new headquarters.
"One of my core philosophies is that a not-for-profit is a business," Cohen said in the Q&A. "I don't make money from it. We do it for another reason and we have to come out ahead."
Regarding the office design, Cohen offered his core motivation: "Everything we are doing is trying to drive people to talk to each other." He explained that increasing communication is good for each employee personally and also good for the overall organization.
In an online-only companion piece, Cohen opened up about a family tragedy during his college days and how the terrible events ultimately taught him lessons about becoming a leader.

Hit the Slopes Before the Snow Does!
The area of Cattaraugus County in New York is known for its winter activities, skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling and more.
However, there are great things to do throughout the year.
The fall season offers beautiful views of natures changing colors.
Holiday Valley Ski Resort in Ellicottville, New York is a big attraction. During the warmer months it offers a beautiful 18 hole, par 72 course. It is known for its well groomed greens, plush fairways, and each hole offers golfers a challenge. You will find a golf school, pro-shop, restaurant, bar and snack shop.
Also at this famed ski resort you will find the Sky High Mountain Coaster. The coaster offers visitors an exhilarating ride right through the woods. It is somewhat like a roller coaster, but is lower to the ground following the terrain. It is a thrill as the coaster zig zags on the rails down the mountain. You control the speed. It is fun for the whole family. Children must be 3 and 36 inches to ride with an adult.
Sky High Adventure Park is also located at Holiday Valley. This area of the park offers platforms and bridges built in an area of the woods. Bridges could consist of a log or maybe hanging chunks of wood. It is a challenge to figure out just how to get across to the next platform. It is a strategic and balance test, but does not require strength. The park has different difficulties and some courses have ziplines. Each participant wears a harness and locking lanyard to keeping them safe and from falling if they slip or let go.
Stay tuned for more fun things to do in this area of New York before the snow flies.
