Core Systems, global experts in prisoner self-service technology solutions, has accessed expertise from Ulster University to further develop its latest software product, which is improving prisoner rehabilitation and streamlining criminal justice systems across the globe.
Part-funded by an Invest Northern Ireland Innovation Voucher, Core Systems enlisted support from experts at Ulster University's state-of-the-art UX Lab to better understand how prisoners interact with its Direct2inmate software platform. Ulster University's UX Lab works with industry to enhance usability of digital products to increase user efficiency and satisfaction.
The Direct2inmate platform provides prisoners with secure access to a range of applications including electronic messaging, e-learning, entertainment, shopping, meal ordering, facility requests and library services. Using cutting-edge biometric technology such as eye-trackers and video recording instruments, Ulster University researchers assessed prisoners' usability of the software.
Prisoners' usability of the Direct2inmate platform is central to enhancing their prison experience as well as their ICT and communication skills, and encouraging personal responsibility, all of which are vital for successful rehabilitation and reintegration into society. It is also provides staff with access to real-time tracking of inmate requests and communications, which drives efficiencies by streamlining the current paper-based request system.
Dr Raymond Bond, lead researcher from Ulster University's UX Lab said: "The prison population has a high likelihood for having poor reading and writing skills. It is therefore vital that the technology is designed with the specific needs of inmates in mind.
"Our research identified that a high percentage of inmates are verbally and physically expressive when they are frustrated as they struggle to use digital technologies. This has the potential to increase stress, leading to confrontational situations and conflict, which indeed negatively impacts the prisoner's willingness to adopt new technologies.
"We discovered that the addition of visual feedback such as the confirmation of completed tasks would reduce prisoner uncertainty and frustration when using offender technologies. We also found that the lower than average literacy levels of prisoners meant that there is a need for smarter search engines that are typo-friendly.
Patricia O'Hagan, Chief Executive Officer of Core Systems said: "Our technology, which runs on everything from personal tablet devices to fixed computer kiosks, plays a vital role in helping the criminal justice community achieve their goals. It has already been a huge success and is being used by over 150,000 prisoners in North America , Europe and Australia.

U.S.-led exercise teaches N. African forces how to patrol the coastline
Sandra Jontz
• • July 2, 2005
Marines of 2nd Platoon, 2nd Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team currently deployed from Rota, Spain, conduct maritime interdiction training, for U.S., French, Italian, and Moroccan sailors aboard the USS Nashville during Barbary Thunder II. (Steve Weber / U.S. Navy)
Teach a nation's sailors to patrol their own coastline, and you won't have to do it for them.
More than 1,000 U.S. sailors and Marines are taking part in Barbary Thunder 2, a U.S.-led exercise in the Mediterranean Sea that includes sailors and aviators from several North African nations, said U.S. Navy Capt. Donna Looney, commander of Task Force 64.
"One reason we're doing these exercises is to help [the nations] improve their proficiency and get these regional countries working closer together in maritime-related activities so they can share information and share capabilities," Looney said in a telephone interview from the lead ship, the USS Nashville.
As the U.S. military continues to shift its concentration in the fight against terrorism to Africa, the Barbary Thunder exercises — which started June 23 and run through Thursday — are focused on improving cooperation and at-sea skills of troops from Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, with a complement of liaison officers from France, Italy and Spain, Looney said.
A Moroccan and an Italian helicopter joined two U.S. Navy helicopters aboard the Nashville and crews worked to learn each other's tactics and techniques, said Looney, also the commodore of Amphibious Squadron 2.
Crews also "worked together on maritime and navy skills such as ship handling, maritime interdiction, refueling and things of that nature," Looney said.
One of the most important lessons, however, is the opening of dialogues between NATO participants and the North African nations, said Italian Lt. j.g. Francesco Rima, assistant operations onboard the Italian frigate Granetiere.
"We need to know how the other countries work to achieve good integration in the future," he said.
Some U.S. officials were pleased with the commitment for cooperation voiced by the African representatives, said Lt. Cmdr. Richard Guzman, CTF-64 staff planner and liaison officer between the participating nations.
For example, during one scenario a U.S. aircraft tracked a suspicious vessel, faked running out of fuel and had to abort the chase. Algerian officials were ready to take up the hunt, he said.
"They said they are happy to cooperate. If they see a bad guy, they will cooperate and that's something we were glad to hear," Guzman said.
Not all the lessons were so militaristic in nature. U.S. cooks from the Nashville, for example, taught cooks aboard Italian vessels how to prepare meals en masse, while an Italian cook returned the favor by divulging secrets to pizza-making while afloat, Looney said.

It's a full 10 games since Oba Martins last found the net, and we are hoping he can break that bad run tomorrow. We are also hoping Newcastle bad run, 13 league games without a win, will also come to an end at 5 PM local time tomorrow.
"Wins are what we need and this is a great chance to get one." "It was a good performance and we wanted three points.
Even though it's been 10 games since Oba scored, it is not getting the Nigerian too worried, and of course he almost broke the cross-bar at Liverpool a couple of weeks ago, and that was from 40 yards.
Tomorrow would be a great time for Oba to score because we've been missing those somersaults. If Martins does score tomorrow he might even treat us to a couple somersaults, because we know there'll be tremendous excitement in the ground.
If Michael Owen and Mark Viduka can also chip in with a goal, that would almost ensure a win, and it would also start to make our goal difference look a little better – which is what we need.
A win tomorrow is a must and anything else will be a huge disappointment.
You are right on goal difference. The two heavy losses against Man U did not help but if players like Martins and Vuduka start scoring all that could change.
The worst thing is to go down on goal difference but I hope it does not come to that.
Oba is our best striker and if they don't play him, then there have to be issues behind the scene. There is no reason why he shouldn't start. The longer he's on the pitch, the more likely he is to score. This seems to be the theory for Owen, so it should be extended to Oba.
If this doesn't put you in a better frame of mind before tomorrow's game you don't deserve to call yourself a fan.
Also provides a perfect reminder that things could be worse… you could be a mackem.
If we can't beat Fulham and go 14 league games without a win, KK can say all he likes but we would deserve to be relegated. Fulham is the easiest game we have left. With hindsight the 0 0 draw with Bolton (Keegan's first game) could prove pivotal to our season if we don't beat Fulham. The Cottagers have gone 31 away games without a win. Their luck has to change some time and NUFC are the ultimate fall guys. NO SMITH PLEASE and NZOG FOR BARTON and we should win comfortably. But who knows with this team of ours.
were gonna smash fulham tommorow !!
personnaly i dont think it had hit home what kind of situation we are in to the players untill recently . there finally starting to fear for their reputations which i think brings out good performances .
cant wait to see oba running at fulham , i got a feeling we are going to see a goal of the month contender tommorow from oba !!
cant decide if i want a 30 yeard screamer , an overhead kick one of those lovely goals he got in his nigeria debut .
Ed W , that video did nothing for me bar make me wanna go back a few year to watch shearer play again .
We might not have another Shearer ,Millburn,Gallagher(Hughie),Gascgoine,Beardsley,Lee,Keegan,Moncur,Super MAC,Scoular,but what we have is a NEWCASTLE UNITED lets all get united and give our full support not just for tomorrow but for the rest of the season .TOON TOON BLACK & WHITE ARMY.
oba HAS to start! he is the only real threat i can see at the moment to be honest. stick with almost same team as monday and go for the whole 90 munutes instead of starting to wark after half time.

Maintenance: Park the Aircraft, Then What?
#RestartingTheEngines
Of the more than 28,000 aircraft in the world airline fleets, more than 14,000 are in short-term parking or reserve status, many of them at airports. Image credit: KLM.
Jacques Drappier and Rick Adams
It is difficult to overstate the impact the present COVID-19 crisis has and will have on the whole aviation sector. Airline travel came to a near standstill, nearly 18,000 planes are parked or in long-term storage, and manufacturers are drastically reducing their new aircraft production rates.
We have discussed in previous articles what that means for aircraft fleets, pilots and ab initio cadets.
What are some of the consequences for the maintenance industry, technicians and the training side?
Certainly maintenance people have been busy preparing two-thirds of the worldwide fleet for short- and long-term idleness. Parking an aircraft for a month or more can require between 100 man-hours for a small turboprop to as many as 350-400 hours for a widebody. Since most maintenance manuals focus on long-term storage, airlines have been consulting with OEMs for modified guidance to cover 30-90 day periods. About 12,000 aircraft fall into this category.
Returning parked aircraft to service can take a bit longer, as many as 650 man-hours for some Boeing 777 variants. Since most airlines hope to reactivate their fleets as quickly as possible, with the exception of aircraft they will retire, technicians will be needed for the reactivation tasks.
During the interim, maintenance is little more than periodically running the engines, replacing operating oil with inhibiting oil, towing the aircraft to avoid wheel flat spots, and checking nooks and crannies for birds and bug infestations. Except for some time-related checks, flight hours or cycles drive the maintenance activities. With no flying going on, airline maintenance activities are shallow.
With the expected industry recovery for summer and fall flight schedules, maintenance activity will follow the ramp-up of the flying. Only time will tell, but most forecasts are indicating a return to a new normal by 2023, equal to pre-COVID-19 levels.
The situation will be especially tricky for MROs. There are estimates that 3,500 or more airplanes will not return from the desert, and these are precisely the candidates for the heavy maintenance checks on which MRO business depends. So their activities will lag the increase of flying by some months or even years. The availability of parked or scrapped airplanes as spares donors may also reduce the need for repair or overhaul of some parts, again an activity of the MROs. Some MROs will close, most will need to downsize and encourage older technicians to retire.
Maintenance training organizations and maintenance schools are challenged as well. One quarter of Aviation Technician Education Council schools suspended operation during the pandemic and some of those are considering doing so permanently, according to Crystal McGuire, AETC Executive Director. In the first two weeks of April, only 84 A&P candidates had taken the FAA written exam, compared with 615 the first half of March. More than half of AETC schools expect enrollment to drop by 25% of more.
But out of the present misery, some good things can also come. Early retirements will create not only openings but a real manpower need. "Given the long lead time for technicians, up to seven years from start to certifying technician, those who are today at the beginning of their training might be the lucky ones that will be ready by the time the industry needs them in 2023 to 2025," maintenance training consultant Geoff Hill told CAT. Indeed, the British School of Aviation reported an increase in inquiries about enrollment since the pandemic outbreak.
MTX training specialists have also been responding with innovative approaches. Although current regulatory requirements preclude type-ratings without certain hands-on training, some authorities (FAA, EASA, GCAA, CAAC), have accelerated approval of distance learning courses – for which they have historically given little or no or credit.
"At the very beginning of the crisis, it became obvious that we had to quickly adapt and react to offer suitable maintenance training solutions to our customers," said Christian Delmas, Head of Worldwide Maintenance Training for Airbus. In a short time, the Airbus Services team managed to develop the concept: from the course programmess to NAA approvals.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University transferred all of its Level 1 and 2 courses to online in only three days, deferring in-person lab work to its summer session that starts June 30.
AETC's McGuire said online learning has increased dramatically. Before Covid-19, there were only a handful of online programmes; now, 75% of operating schools have online or hybrid learning programmes, some including virtual-, mixed- or augmented-reality.
Flightline Training Services in Canada developed VR Practical Training using a combination of 3D, 360-degree and still photography, as well as remote training.
Rolls-Royce is expanding its VR training programmess with distance learning for business aircraft engine repairs, the latest offering an instructor-led course on their BR725 engine.
Lori Brown, Outreach Chair for ICAO's Next Generation of Aviation Professionals (NGAP), a professor at Western Michigan University, and a frequent speaker at the CAT-organised World Aviation Training Summit (WATS), advocates training using the Microsoft HoloLens technology.
"Instructors can be anywhere and trainees can bring extremely realistic holographic images of say, a B787, A380 or turbofan engine directly into their home, training facility, school, university, or anywhere else training is taking place, which allows them to interact with the object to learn and practice procedures, preflight actions and other information needed to operate or maintain equipment."
NLR in The Netherlands developed a HoloLens-based demonstrator for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. "We want to integrate HoloLens throughout the MRO chain and to use it in the everyday performance of maintenance", says Anneke Nabben, NLR training specialist. "Using augmented reality for every repair could help ensure the correct procedural steps by visually projecting the action that must be performed on the aircraft."
In a policy brief, ATEC encouraged the FAA to change its training requirements to competency-based. Schools are "mandated to teach 60-year-old technologies and obtain FAA approvals to modify curriculums and operating procedures. The long-outdated rule is creating an increasingly inflexible framework, hindering innovation in aviation technical education, and continually increasing new hire training costs for employers," the brief stated.
The short-to-medium term maintenance outlook will ramp up very slowly as the airline industry begins opening up again. Geoff Hill advised: "This provides an opportunity for airline maintenance training organisations to seek and develop innovative training solutions to build high-quality technicians, reducing pipeline lag. It also provides an opportunity for NAAs across the world to work together to mutually recognize technicians' licences and ratings, improving mobility and increasing the size of the recruiting pool for MROs."

Telling a stand up guy from a well practiced player looking for one thing
Is he the real deal or just playing me?
Maureen Tara Nelson
Dear MTN,
I need your advice. Recently I met a guy and we seemed to hit it off. Our first date lasted for three hours and he said all the right things. I was very happy that he even said that he is looking for a serious relationship, since I am done with one night stands and am also looking for a serious relationship. He said he wanted to see me again and called me the next day.
The problem is that he invited me to come over his house to watch a movie for the second date. I think an invitation to his house on the second date could mean he is a player only looking for one thing. Why would he do that when he made a point of saying he's ready for a serious relationship? How long are you supposed to wait before you accept an invitation to go to a guy's house? Do you think he is just looking to hook up? Or do you think I am over reacting?
- Jillian
Dear Jillian,
I agree with your instincts that it is too soon to have a date to go to his house. How much do you even know about him? The time is right to go to his house when you do know a lot about him and know and feel that you can trust him.
Most importantly is that you realize that just because a guy says he is looking for a serious relationship doesn't mean he is. Typically that is the first thing that a "player" will say when he wants to have a girl feel at ease with him so she will move faster in the "getting to know" period.
The only way you can tell if a guy is a player or is looking for a serious relationship is to give it time and see how things work out. Take things slow so that you can both get to know each other. A player won't wait that long for a girl to have sex. A guy looking for a serious relationship will! Good luck with this guy. I hope he turns out to be a good one.

University of Michigan athletics paid for 'Go Blue' skywriting over Spartan Stadium

A skywriting of "Go Blue" looms near Spartan Stadium in East Lansing on Saturday, Sept. 14 as fans arrive for Michigan State's matchup with Youngstown State. The University of Michigan athletic department hired a skywriter to spell the Wolverines' slogan in the skies above its in-state rival's campus.

UPDATE: U-M athletics spent between $3,000 and $5,000 on skywriting
EAST LANSING -- University of Michigan athletics paid thousands of dollars for a
skywriter to etch "Go Blue" in the skies over East Lansing
before Michigan State kicked off against Youngstown State on Saturday.
Suzanne Asbury-Oliver, who runs Oregon Aero SkyDancer skywriting with her husband Steve, told MLive the Wolverines' athletic department hired her business to put Michigan slogans into the air above Ann Arbor then East Lansing on Saturday.
Michigan athletic department spokesperson Dave Ablauf acknowledged his department paid for Saturday's skywriting but said no specific locations were targeted.
"We hired the skywriters to canvas southeast Michigan with slogans and numbers prior to our game last Saturday,"he said in a statement. "There were no locations targeted."
Asbury-Oliver, who has been skywriting with her husband for 33 years, said it was the fourth time Michigan athletics has hired her business, but it was the first time U-M asked her to skywrite over East Lansing.
She declined to disclose the specific price she charged Michigan for the job and also declined to disclose with whom she dealt, although she acknowledged it was "someone who works for the University of Michigan's athletic department."
"It's a multi-thousand-dollar job," Asbury-Oliver said. "First, it's $2 per mile for how far we have to take the plane, then the lightweight oil we use (to skywrite) is expensive, and we use about a gallon and a quart each letter. Then for these kinds of jobs you have to throw in hotels and all that."
Thousands of Michigan State fans looked skyward about 12:30 p.m. Saturday in East Lansing as Asbury-Oliver's skywriting apprentice, Nathan Hammond, spelled out over MSU's campus the phrase most loathed by Spartans. Hammond also skywrote over Ann Arbor on Saturday.
Asbury-Oliver said she noticed from media reports the uproar it caused among Spartan fans, although she had no premonition of that beforehand as she's not from Michigan and didn't understand the nature of the MSU-UM rivalry. Spartans athletic director Mark Hollis on Wednesday called the pro-Wolverines aerial calligraphy "an irritant."
"My husband and I, we're not sports fans. We didn't know what it all was about," said Asbury-Oliver, who lives in Tucson, Ariz.
RELATED: MSU AD says no apology necessary from U-M
MSU Alumni Association Executive Director Scott Westerman channeled Spartan fans' indignation, challenging them Saturday night to put money to a better use than goading a rival by donating it toward ovarian cancer awareness.
Westerman, who is a private pilot, estimated the cost of Saturday's skywriting at $3,000. He asked his fellow MSU alumni to match that amount in donations for ovarian cancer, a disease his wife, Colleen, has battled twice. He also challenged his counterparts at the U-M Alumni Association to equal what Michigan State raises.
Spartan fans and alumni responded emphatically, donating upward of $27,000 by Thursday afternoon, impressing even the enthusiastic Westerman in the process.
"This is taking on a life of its own, an outcome that I could never have hoped for," he said. "I'm feeling very proud to be a Spartan today."
Michigan's athletic department procured Asbury-Oliver's skywriting services months in advance, she said. She didn't think anything was out of the ordinary when the Michigan athletic department official asked for additional skywriting--specifically "Go Blue" near Spartan Stadium--in East Lansing this time.
"He gave me his wish list of what he wanted done," she said. "We just did what we were hired to do.
"He asked me not to say how much it cost if I got questions about it."
University of Michigan athletics is funded independent of university funds, meaning no tuition or taxpayer dollars support it. The department has multimillion-dollar surpluses regularly.

When Melbourne duo nyck (pronounced n.y.c.k) uploaded their debut single 'Decision' to Triple J Unearthed in 2016, they had no idea that it would end up touching so many hearts.
nyck's second single 'Speak My Mind' is a beautifully melodic, melancholic, and romantic exploration into love and life in the city. Lyrically, Speak My Mind is a pre cursor to Decision, exploring the days and weeks before the break of a long term love.

Misenheimer, North Carolina
Gianferante has a medical mission to serve
Published 10:12 am Saturday, October 3, 2020
Editor's Note: The recipients of Pfeiffer University's annual alumni awards have been announced. The following profile is on 2005 Pfeiffer graduate Dr. Matthew Gianferante, Distinguished Alumni Award winner.
Dr. Matthew Gianferante
Matthew Gianferante epitomizes the Pfeiffer University ideal of servant leadership in a highly scientific way. He serves as a medical officer in the Clinical Genetics Branch at the National Cancer Institute, and he's a lieutenant commander in the United States Public Health Service. His father, Dave, a 1972 Pfeiffer graduate, works at Pfeiffer as the head coach for the men's and women's golf programs and as assistant to the athletic director, Danielle Lafferty, a 2015 Pfeiffer graduate.
Gianferante was nominated for the Distinguished Alumni Award by Jane Cashion Brietz, a 1968 graduate. His research, which has been published in scientific journals, explores the relationship between germline or hereditable genetic factors and susceptibility to developing certain types of pediatric cancers or blood disorders, with the ultimate goal of better understanding the underlying biology of these diseases. He has presented his work on pediatric cancer at domestic and international meetings.
As for his health service work, Gianferante has been deployed seven times for medical missions since 2017, including hurricane relief in Puerto Rico and in North Carolina. He has also participated in two southern border screening missions and in two COVID-19 relief missions.
The successful, caring person that Gianferante has become can be traced to his time at Pfeiffer and the work he immediately pursued after graduating.
During his Pfeiffer stint, he majored in biology and chemistry, and he was an inaugural recipient of the Milton Rose Fellowship. As part of the fellowship program, he studied the effect of water runoff under the guidance of his mentor, Dr. Mark McCallum, a professor of biology. In the summers of 2003 and 2004 he was selected for summer research internship programs at the University of Florida and the National Institutes of Health.
Gianferante was active in the Misenheimer community as a Bonner Leader, as a peer tutor in the Wick S. Sharp Learning Center, and as president of the Outings Club. He received the Order of the Sundial Award, which is presented each spring to graduating seniors who have exhibited the highest levels of leadership, scholarship and student engagement during their time at Pfeiffer.
When Gianferante graduated summa cum laude in 2005, he received the Pearl Walton Fisher Citizenship Award, which honors a graduating student with an outstanding citizenship record, as determined by a vote of the faculty. The citizenship award is given in honor of the late J.E. and Pearl Walton Fisher by their family.
After Pfeiffer, Gianferante worked as a microbiologist at the Massachusetts Public Health Department in Boston. He then decided to become a physician, graduating from the Uniformed Service University (USU) in 2011. He completed his pediatric residency at Tufts Floating Hospital for Children in Boston, where he was recognized for distinction in research on T-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
After that, he undertook a pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at the National Capital Consortium of the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. In 2015 he received the center's Pediatric Fellow of the Year Award for excellence in teaching, and he became an assistant professor at USU.
During his fellowship, Gianferante also pursued a master's degree in public health at USU with a concentration in epidemiology and biostatistics, graduating in 2017. As a clinician with a background in epidemiology and biostatistics, Gianferante can understand factors related to diagnosis and treatment, clinically evaluate patients in natural history studies and draw on his understanding of epidemiology and biostatistics to analyze his own data.
Ken Keuffel, who authored this article, has served as Pfeiffer's assistant director of communications since December 2019. He welcomes story ideas from Pfeiffer's faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends. The form for submitting story ideas is at www.pfeiffer.edu/newsform.

Squash: A History of the Game
ToC 1993
January 21, 2023 James Zug
The Tournament of Champions is on right now in Grand Central. It is the twenty-fifth time it has been held there. Thirty years ago, the ToC was also in New York, just a few miles down the island of Manhattan from Grand Central—the tournament was at the Winter Garden, the palm-tree studded atrium at the World Trade Center. The cover of the 1993 hardcopy tournament program, not findable with a QR code, featured a gorgeous painting.
Will Davies painted it. Davies was a legendary Ontario illustrator and painter, famous for stamps, ads, posters, book covers (he illustrated five hundred romance novel covers) and magazine illustrations. He died in September 2016 at the age of ninety-two.
In 1991, the men's North American pro tour, just before the merger with the men's international pro tour, commissioned Davies to create an illustration from a photograph (now unknown, possibly taken by Hugh McClean?). Thirty years later, the painting evokes an earlier era, with the hardball service lines and both men wearing Action Eyes goggles.
The Hall of Fame subjects were Ned Edwards in the background and Kenton Jernigan about to strike the ball. Ned jokes that "unless Kenton hit a very soft, highish roll corner, it looks like I'm in quite a bad spot."
What of the original painting? For decades it hung in the Dallas home of Tom Plaskett. The CEO of Continental Airlines, Pan Am Airlines and Greyhound, Plaskett was a friend of Jack Herrick and a supporter of the ToC when it was in the Winter Garden. Plaskett died in June 2021 at the age of seventy-seven.

Swordfights, midnight rides, castles and dungeons. The Prisoner of Zenda is the classic romantic adventure! When Rudolf Rassendyll decides to take a journey to see his distant cousin crowned king of Ruritania, it soon becomes apparent that it is not going to be a normal trip. The first indicati on of this comes with the realisati on that he bears an uncanny resemblance to his cousin. Added to that there is the discovery that Black Michael, a relative of the rightful king, is determined to prevent the coronation taking place, so that he might receive the crown himself.What follows is an adventure involving abduction, imprisonment and deceit. As the story races to its conclusion, Rudolf Rassendyll faces choices that will determine not only his future, but the futures of King Rudolf, Princess Flavia and the whole of Ruritania. Published in 1894, The Prisoner of Zenda launched Hope's writing career, and was followed by the sequel, Rupert of Hentzau.

Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins was born February 9th 1863 in London, England. As the youngest child of Reverend Edwards Hawkins, Anthony would attend the school at which his father was headmaster -- St John's Foundation School for the Sons of Poor Clergy. Anthony then went on to study at Marlborough College, and showed his interest in literature by becoming the editor of its newspaper The Malburian. Whilst attending Balliol College, Anthony developed an interest in law and also began to write fiction. By 1890, Anthony began to publish a series of novels which began that same year with the satire A Man of Mark, followed in 1891 by Father Stafford. However, Anthony's greatest success would come in 1894 with the publication of The Prisoner of Zenda -- a romantic adventure set in the mythical kingdom of Ruritania. The novel was so admired that Anthony published a sequel titled Rupert of Hentzau four years later. Anthony's later work was not to be as lauded as his masterpiece The Prisoner of Zenda, but he would be financially successful due to film rights sales and reprints of his work. During World War I he decided to work for the Ministry of Information to counteract German propaganda, Anthony would spend a great deal of time writing pamphlets aimed at discouraging the German war effort.

Happy Sunday. FRONT PAGE EDITORIAL -- BIRMINGHAM NEWS, HUNTSVILLE TIMES, PRESS-REGISTER (MOBILE) -- "STAND FOR DECENCY, REJECT ROY MOORE": "This election is a turning point for women in Alabama. A chance to make their voices heard in a state that has silenced them for too long.
"During the phone call on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Ryan, who had campaigned heavily for Mr. Johnson in 2016, posed an essential question, according to the senator: 'What are you going to need?' What Mr. Johnson needs … is for the bill to treat more favorably small businesses and other so-called pass-through entities -- businesses whose profits are distributed to their owners and taxed at rates for individuals. Such entities, including Mr. Johnson's family-run plastics manufacturing business, account for more than half of the nation's business income, and the senator says the tax bill would give an unfair advantage to larger corporations.
-- IT'S WORTH NOTING: This is hardly the first time Johnson has clashed with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP leadership team. He also fought with them over how the Obamacare repeal process played out. He is just the first Senate Republican out of the gate opposing the bill. Just because the House GOP tax overhaul was on the fast track and didn't face many hiccups, don't expect the same to be true in the Senate.
FOR EXAMPLE… JAKE TAPPER talks with SEN. SUSAN COLLINS (R-MAINE) on CNN'S "STATE OF THE UNION: TAPPER: "You said this week that Republicans made a big mistake when they changed the tax bill to include this repeal of the Affordable Care Act individual mandate because that -- removing that could raise taxes or payment -- health care payments, premiums, for millions of Americans. If that provision stays in the tax bill, will that mean a 'no' vote from you?" COLLINS: "Well, first of all, I think we need to distinguish between taking away insurance from people who already have it, which is what the health care bill said we considered earlier this year would have done, versus removing a fine on people who choose not to have insurance. And that's … disproportionately 80 percent on those who make under $50,000.
MORE TAX DRAMA IN THE STATES -- "In Democrat-led state capitals, GOP tax reform push could scramble fiscal plans," by Laura Nahmias in New York, Katherine Landergan in New Jersey and Carla Marinucci in California: "The Republican tax reform push in Washington is setting off budgetary alarm bells in high-tax states like New York, California and New Jersey, in the latest political skirmish to pit national Republicans against Democratic state and big city leaders.
TROUBLE FOR FRANKEN -- A1 of the STAR TRIBUNE -- "Sidelined by scandal, Sen. Al Franken faces questions about ability to do his job," by Jennifer Brooks and Erin Golden: "Suddenly a senator whose statewide approval rating stood at 58 percent in the last Star Tribune Minnesota Poll is facing calls to resign — even from prominent Minnesota DFLers and deeply disappointed supporters.
-- TOO CLOSE TO THE SUN?: STAR LEDGER FRONT PAGE: "Why this N.J. Republican keeps voting for things that could hurt Jersey" (print headline: "MacArthur is showing affinity for risk-taking: Representative's tax stance could hurt N.J., his future"): "In just his third term in office, Rep. Tom MacArthur is helping to shape legislation in a way lawmakers who've been here a long time can only dream of.
BUT, BUT, BUT -- EMILY HOLDEN in Bonn, Germany: "The White House goaded activists at the international climate talks by pushing coal and other fossil fuels. But behind closed doors, U.S. negotiators stuck to their Obama-era principles on the 2015 Paris deal — despite President Donald Trump's disavowal of the pact. State Department negotiators at the U.N. conference that ended Saturday hewed to the United States' long-established positions on the details of how to carry out the Paris agreement. And that's the U.S. role that most foreign political leaders sought to highlight, despite the low expectations inspired by Trump's 'America First' agenda and his dismissal of human-caused climate change as a hoax.
-- TONIGHT ON "KASIE D.C.": Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, Katty Kay, Ashley Parker, Jonathan Swan, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Ken Dilanian, Paul Kane, Paul Singer, Gen. Barry McCaffrey and Azmat Khan.
GREAT STORY -- SCOTT BROWN IN NEW ZEALAND -- "Scott Brown's pay is $155,000 per year. The benefits are priceless," by the Boston Globe's Joshua Miller in Wellington, New Zealand: "Of the waves that followed from Donald Trump's 2016 tsunami, Brown's ascension from the everyman-with-a-pickup who lost two U.S. Senate races in two years in two states to US ambassador to New Zealand ranks among the most unlikely. And, for him, the most fortunate.
2020 WATCH -- "Don't trust politicians to solve our problems, U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse tells Iowa crowd," by the Des Moines Register's Jason Noble: "Don't look to politics to solve the pressing problems in American culture or address looming technological and economic changes that will rearrange American society, U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse told an Iowa audience Saturday. Politicians, he said, simply aren't up to the task.

Incubating a new era of social good at Vodafone
Amit Chakrabarti
Head of Vodafone Business Ventures
Technology has the power to accomplish incredible social good.
From domestic abuse support with TecSOS and the Bright Sky app, Text to Treatment to enable obstetric fistula surgery in Tanzania and pop-up connectivity in cyclone emergency zones; we're proud to have changed lives for the better through The Vodafone Foundation.
While we fully intend to continue this work, a changing global landscape and our 27 years of experience tells us that traditional corporate philanthropy can only go so far. This applies to businesses as well as not-for-profits, with 93% of decision makers in the recent Global Trends Barometer agreeing that customers now expect them to act ethically, or risk losing loyalty.
In this uncertain climate, many organisations recognise that there is much more the business community can do.
The big issues of our time
There is no doubt that the world today faces significant, long-term challenges. Take healthcare and education as an example; if the former is an ethical prerequisite, then the latter is an essential catalyst for life transformation, and both will see huge benefits from an increase in access to technology.
Yet at least half of the world's population still lacks access to essential healthcare services and care will become more complex in the years ahead. By 2060, approximately 30% of the European population will be aged 65 or older, resulting in an 80% increase in long-term care spending.
Similarly, there are significant inequalities with education access; with over 265 million children who do not have access to schooling and 617 million young people who lack basic mathematics and literacy skills. This disparity in opportunity and skills represents serious issues for the society we wish to create.
Going further than traditional corporate good
Businesses have a vital role to play in tackling issues of this scale. While corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives have accomplished great things in the past, it has become clear that this model is limited in its potential for tackling these large-scale issues.
Traditionally, such initiatives have been funded by donations from the business, which makes it very difficult to scale up due to capital constraints. CSR programmes can have a wide and varied focus, taking on many individual challenges at a small scale, but this comes with implications on any ability to innovate or offer a solution for the long term.
To drive lifetime lasting results, many businesses are considering a more sustainable model and taking inspiration from new sources. For us, this means a new team and way of working to drive sustainable, life changing impact: Vodafone Business Ventures.
Introducing Vodafone Business Ventures
We will combine our expertise in connectivity, the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) with our commercial knowledge to create sustainable solutions that address critical global problems.
We have begun by identifying the most pressing issues, including those mentioned above, where our platforms, infrastructure and partner ecosystem are best positioned to make an impact. In addition to continuing to support local philanthropic programs through the Vodafone Foundation, Vodafone Business Ventures will differentiate itself by incubating new propositions that are commercially sustainable and scalable.
Any profits made from our initiatives will be fully reinvested into our Ventures and Foundation programs to fund further innovation and long-term results. Vodafone Business Ventures will empower people and communities with propositions that can improve lives for the future.
Starting with education and care
Vodafone Business Ventures will focus on its efforts on some of the most critical global challenges, starting with education and social care. Our Connected Education scheme will deliver a suite of services especially designed for schools that will help accelerate digital adoption using existing technology.
This will help to deliver vital skills to students and teachers, improve academic performance and position young people to capitalise on the opportunities of tomorrow. Connected Education will be delivered as an affordable managed service, with ongoing support from Vodafone and a broad network of global partners to power their journey.
From a care perspective the ageing population, especially in Europe, is creating growing demand for services that can help people to live independently for longer. Our Connected Living service will use Vodafone's smart home technology, mobile apps and Internet of Things platform to link carers and people with assisted needs.
This connected technology will provide a higher level of visibility for carers, enabling them to enhance the quality of care for independent and assisted living residents with existing resources, delivering a more fulfilling, empowering experience.
A long-term commitment
The social issues facing the world today are complex, and businesses have a critical role to play in creating sustainable solutions that make a lasting difference. We are incredibly proud of everything accomplished by Vodafone Foundation and our work will continue.
With Vodafone Business Ventures, our ambition to increase our impact by an order of magnitude, with projects that can be scaled up to reach a broader audience. We will be able to plan and innovate for the long term, to continuously refine our approach and deliver the best outcomes possible with increased financial flexibility..
There are many challenges facing us in the years ahead. Vodafone Business Ventures will build on and expand on our company's ethos of working for social good, to help to create a bright future for everyone.

The Lebanese media outlets Cedar news, as-Siyasa, Arabvoice, Naharnews, Khabar, al-arabia and other news portals have widely covered the results of survey conducted by French Opinion Way Research Institute in Azerbaijan in order to learn the attitude of the country`s population towards the current socio-political situation in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the course of reforms conducted by President Ilham Aliyev over the past year, and, in general, domestic and foreign policy of the Azerbaijani government.
The articles describe the achievements made in Azerbaijan`s economy, implementation of the huge transnational energy and transport projects, ensuring political pluralism, strengthening of the institutes of civic society, preservation of the traditions of multiculturalism and tolerance as results of domestic and foreign policy course conducted by President.
"Answering Opinion Way`s questions "How do you evaluate work done by President Ilham Aliyev over the past year?" 85.1 percent of respondents generally answered "positive", "How do you assess socio-economic activity in Azerbaijan and the reforms conducted by President Ilham Aliyev in this area last year?", 90.5 percent of respondents in general gave a positive response, Asked "Did regions develop as a result of the implementation of the program on the socio-economic development of regions adopted by Ilham Aliyev and as a result of the government`s activities in regions?", 93.1 percent of respondents answered "yes", President Ilham Aliyev`s special attention to the development of regions is also appreciated by citizens. 90.4 percent of respondents described usefulness of the President`s numerous visits to regions as "positive".
"The results of the survey relating to President Ilham Aliyev`s foreign policy also reflected the positive stance of the population: 89.9 percent of respondents positively answered this question," the articles say.
