Millennials and Gen Z candidates are a lot like Machu Picchu and the Taj Mahal, respectively. Both are awesome, but they could not be more different from one another. And just like setting out to visit both Wonders of the World, you have to prepare for your journey. In this presentation, William Tincup, president of RecruitingDaily, will discuss how to effectively recruit members of both the millennial (oldest being 38 years old) and Gen Z (oldest being 23 years old) generations. Attendees will learn how recruiting Gen Z is different than any generation before and discover what Gen Z cares (and doesn't care) about when it comes to work and the workplace.


Post-Doctoral Fellow Dr. Michelle North: Department of Biomedical & Molecular Sciences.
Research Focus: Gene-Environment Interactions in Allergic Disease.
Dr. Michelle North, a post-doctoral fellow in the department of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences at Queen's, is having a busy summer away from Kingston. She's spending her days at a one of a kind lab, at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with funding support provided by the Allergy, Genes and Environment Network (AllerGen). Dr. North is a visiting fellow at Harvard for the summer with Dr. Andrea Baccarelli. Dr. North has been conducting further testing and data analysis there on samples she collected at Queen's as part of her research on the development of allergies in young children.
When I skyped Dr. North in Boston, I asked her for another challenge: to explain to our readers from all walks of life what her research is about by answering three questions: What are you doing? How are you doing it? And what are the key findings of your research?
Dr. North is part of a research team at Queen's working on investigating what role prenatal and early life environmental factors play in the development of allergies and asthma in children. "So the theory is that allergies could develop in the womb and that things that mothers are exposed to while pregnant might affect whether or not the child gets allergies," says Dr. North.
Dr. North says, the early years of childhood are also critical when it comes to the development of the immune system. "The first year or two of life are very important for…conditioning your immune system to work properly and not over react to allergens that are not really harmful," she says. "We are looking at air pollution and environmental chemicals and also whether or not the mother has allergies… currently maternal allergy is the best predictor we have of allergic risk in the child, but the epigenetic biomarkers we are working on might offer something better," Dr. North adds.
The study called "The Kingston Allergy Birth Cohort" included collecting umbilical cord blood samples from 400 babies born at Kingston General Hospital. "We have been taking samples of the umbilical cord blood, since it is the earliest biological sample we can get from a child," says Dr. North. Then the team has been following up with the kids to find out which ones develop allergies. "We are looking for something like a test that you may be able to do at birth to find if your child is going to get allergies or not," says Dr. North. She adds that the research team are also trying to identify factors that can help prevent allergies.
The key findings of the research includes: "breast feeding prevents asthma inhaler prescriptions," says Dr. North. She adds that having an older sibling at the home also decreases the chances of testing positive for allergies.
Dr. North wanted to do further testing on the study samples, to look at the children's mitochondrial DNA, but that kind of special testing was only available at a lab at Harvard. "They (Harvard) were doing very novel work in environmental health that no one else is doing right now and I wanted to apply that to the birth cohort," says Dr. North. She's been finding her research experience at Harvard very rewarding. "It's fantastic, it exceeded all my expectations," says Dr. North.
Dr. North was able to become a visiting fellow at Harvard thanks to a grant offered by AllerGen NCE. AllerGen is one of the Canadian National Centres of Excellence. The award is called the "International Research Visit Program". "The award supports AllerGen trainees to work with international investigators to gain unique training opportunities that are not available in Canada," explains Dr. North.
Dr. North points out that she didn't get the funding from AllerGen when she applied last year. However, she gave it another shot this year again and got it. Dr. North's tip for graduate students and post-doctoral fellows: "Don't give up if you really want something." She also stresses the importance of starting to plan early to apply for possible opportunities out there. "I think once you have an idea of what you want to do and where you want to go, try to identify your opportunities as early as you can," says Dr. North.
Dr. North has been applying for faculty positions this summer. She says taking part in Queen's 3MT competition has been helping her prepare for job interviews. "It definitely gave me some ideas on how to introduce my research as something that is exciting and new and how to explain it to people that don't work in that particular area, so it was very useful," says Dr. North.
Despite her busy academic life this summer Dr. North tries to find time to discover Boston with her 3 year-old daughter. "It's good to have a bit of down time," says Dr. North.

Military inspired looks continue to dominate this season.
Choosing the best coat to keep you warm and stylish is perhaps one of most challenging tasks when shopping. My suggestion is to have three coats for this season. One casual, a professional look and the go-to for those sub-zero temps. Some of the key trends for the season include bright color, military styling, mixed textures and patterns.
For that professional look keep the styling simple and choose colors and textures that give a modern feel. Silhouettes that are classic like a trench inspired look have a lasting appeal and can be worn for years to come. When staving off the bitter cold, finding down filled, water-resistant jackets are usually best. Fighting the bitter cold also is about layering the right clothing under your jacket.
Down-filled, fur-lined coats keep the winter cold at bay.

SoCalGas and Opus 12 Successfully Demonstrate Technology That Simplifies Conversion of Carbon Dioxide into Storable Renewable Energy
New electrolyzer technology can convert the unwanted carbon dioxide in raw biogas directly to pipeline quality natural gas using renewable electricity
Simplifies process of storing surplus renewable electricity as renewable natural gas
LOS ANGELES, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) and Opus 12 today announced the successful demonstration of a new process to convert the carbon dioxide in raw biogas to methane in a single electrochemical step, a critical improvement in the science of upgrading biogas to pipeline quality natural gas, and a simpler method of converting excess renewable electricity into storable natural gas.
Opus 12, a clean-energy startup incubated in the prestigious Cyclotron Road program at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, used a new type of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer to convert carbon dioxide to methane, showing that instead of wasting the carbon dioxide in raw biogas, it can be converted to methane using renewable electricity.
The research is part of SoCalGas' development of technologies known as power-to-gas (P2G), a cutting-edge method of storing excess renewable energy. Because gases can be easily stored for long periods of time using existing infrastructure, power-to-gas technology has two distinct advantages over storing renewable electricity in batteries.
The nine-month study was funded by SoCalGas along with two start-up-funding organizations, the Rocket Fund of Caltech's FLOW program and Elemental Excelerator.
"This groundbreaking innovation holds the potential to simplify storing renewable electricity in the form of zero-carbon renewable natural gas that can be used for home heating, water heaters, or clean trucks to transport goods," said Yuri Freedman, SoCalGas senior director of business development. "Across Southern California, people prefer natural gas four to one over electricity because it is more affordable and reliable. Technological advances like this are one more example of how we can protect the environment while protecting consumer choice."
"Southern California has ideal conditions for this type of solution, with significant biogas resources and high penetration of renewable electricity," said Nicholas Flanders, Opus 12's chief executive officer. "SoCalGas has identified this regional advantage, and with their scale and expertise in P2G and biogas, the company has been the ideal partner for this project."
Raw biogas is mostly methane, but also contains about 30 to 40 percent carbon dioxide, which is typically vented to atmosphere in a biogas production facility. While other power-to-gas systems convert water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity, Opus 12's method would likely be implemented adjacent to biogas production so it can make use of a greenhouse gas that would otherwise contribute to climate change.
This feasibility study was the first phase of research that will also explore new catalysts, modifying the catalyst layer formulation, and other ways to enhance the system's methane conversion performance.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, SoCalGas® is the largest natural gas distribution utility in the United States, providing clean, safe, affordable and reliable natural gas service to 21.7 million customers in Central and Southern California. Its service territory spans 22,000 square miles from Fresno to the Mexican border, reaching more than 550 communities through 5.9 million meters and 101,000 miles of pipeline. More than 90 percent of Southern California single-family home residents use natural gas for home heat and hot water. In addition, natural gas plays a key role in providing electricity to Californians—about 60 percent of electric power generated in the state comes from gas-fired power plants.
SoCalGas has served communities in California for 150 years and is committed to being a leader in the region's clean energy future. The company is working to accelerate the use of renewable natural gas, a carbon-neutral or carbon-negative fuel created by capturing and conditioning greenhouse gas emissions from farms, landfills and wastewater treatment plants. SoCalGas is a subsidiary of Sempra Energy (NYSE: SRE), a Fortune 500 energy services holding company based in San Diego.

The Articles of Confederation Explained: A Clause-by-Clause Study of America's First Constitution, by award-winning author and historian Col. Lochlainn Seabrook
Did you know that the United States of America began life as a confederacy, and that it was, in fact, officially called "the Confederacy" between 1781 and 1789?
Did you know that for those eight years the U.S. technically operated as, and was also nicknamed, "The Confederate States of America," and that because of this our first constitution was named "The Articles of Confederation"?
Did you know that the conservative South fought the liberal North not to "preserve slavery," as has been falsely taught, but to preserve the original limited confederate government of the Founding Fathers and the conservative ideals embedded in our first constitution, the Articles of Confederation?
And did you know that it was for these reasons that in 1861 the seceding Southern states called themselves "The Confederate States of America"?
In this brief but educational book, The Articles of Confederation Explained: A Clause-by-Clause Study of America's First Constitution, award-winning author and historian Col. Lochlainn Seabrook explores these topics and more in an in-depth look at the 13 Articles of Confederation, first formulated in 1777. The complete and original text of each article is provided, along with a clear and simple explanation describing its meaning and intended purpose.
Also included in this wonderfully illustrated little work is a list of the 10 presidents of the U.S. Confederacy, who served, according to specifications laid out in Article Nine, between the years 1779 and 1789.
With this book you will gain new insight into some of the fascinating facts that are left out of our history books. Discover for yourself why some of America's greatest thinkers—such as the author's cousin Patrick Henry— embraced the Articles of Confederation and argued against replacing them with the U.S. Constitution and a bigger, more powerful central government.

Home / News / PAKISTAN: Enforced disappearance of a political activist following arrest by the Pakistan Rangers
PAKISTAN: Enforced disappearance of a political activist following arrest by the Pakistan Rangers
Urgent Appeal Case |Pakistan | June 26, 2014
ASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION - URGENT APPEALS PROGRAMME
Urgent Appeal Case: AHRC-UAC-097-2014
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has received information of an incident where a political activist has been made to disappear following arrest by the Pakistan Rangers; his whereabouts are since unknown. Police have refused to file a case of the disappearance citing that in instances of paramilitary arrests police have no jurisdiction to file charges. The provincial government too has shown no interest, ignored the entire incident of such publicly showcased arrestin a crowded public place such the hospital where it is reported that at least fifty others have also witnessed the para military forces draggingthe activists , who had been visiting a patient out of the hospital, dragging him across the floor before taking him away in an jeep type vehicle – all, in full view of the public.
18 such political activists were made to disappear during the past five months and extra judicially killed, allegedly by the same Pakistan Rangers and their bodies containing marks of torture have beensubsequently. Para military outfits such as the Pakistan rangers are thus openly used by the government of Pakistan to meet their political ends, in spreading fear and control over any dissent or activism against the incumbent regime and this is done under the cover of a perceived presence of a democratic and civilian government. It is likely that the activist in this instance too will undergo severe forms of torture, and be most probably killed in the same manner. The common practice in Pakistan is that neither the police nor the rangers provide any information with regard to such abductions, forced disappearances and extra judicial killings and thereby circumvent the due legal process with regard to such arrests.
CASE NARRATIVE:
According to information received,Mr. Amanat Abbas, son of Inayat Abbas, 43 years old, and a resident of Gulbahar, Karachi, was arrested on 24th June 2014from the Zain-ul-Abideen Hospital at around 5.30 in the evening by officials of Pakistan Rangers. Mr. Abbas belongs to the MQM, a political partythat holds 25 seats in the National Assembly and 44 seats in the Sindh Provincial Assembly and he was in charge of theMQM unit 189 and is a prominent and well known politician /activists in the area. According to reports he had received a phone asking him to come immediately to the hospital saying that a close relative is seriously ill and injured following which he had rushed to the hospital. No sooner he had reached the emergency ward of the hospital five jeeps belonging to the Pakistan Rangers had surrounded the hospital with at least 25 persons in Rangers' uniforms. One, officer from the Pakistan Rangers, Inspector Manzoor, had already been inside the hospital premises awaiting his arrival, when he had commanded Mr. Abbas to go along with him. When Mr. Abbas had inquired as to the reason, several other soldiers from the Pakistan Rangers had grabbed him with his neck and shoulder and dragged him along the floor and was thrown into one of the jeeps parked there and which was driven by Inspector Manzoor.
According to witness accounts, people who had gathered at the scene had triedto interneve and inquire from the Rangers as to the treatment given to Abbas, and they were met by some of the Rangers pointing their guns at them. By standers there, had later informed his wife about the sudden arrest. According to some others who had followed the convoy of the jeeps, they had taken him to the headquarters of the Pakistan Rangers at Nazimabad, near Ghalib library, which is nearby the hospital.
His wife and brothers had immediately contacted police to figure out the reasons of arrest. The officials of Rizvia police stationhave refused to give any information of his arrest or any involvement in arrest. The wife of Abbas had written an application to the station house officer (SHO) of Rizvia police station to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) but he too has refused to file a report saying that in the matters of arrest by the Rangers police have no authority to issue any such report since such matters are handled with orders from higher authorities in government.
We have also received information that later during the late hours of 24th June, several close friends and relatives had visited the local headquarter of Pakistan Rangers at Nazimabadwhere they were told that he is not there. When relatives have informed that they had received information that Mr. Abbas was brought there, the guards of Rangers warned them to leave or face similar consequences.
Mr Abbas's whereabouts are yet unknown, his family and friends fear that he would be tortured in custody and if he does not confess to a crime, if any, he would be extra judicially killed , as were the 18 other such activists this year.
The federal government has commenced an operation in Karachi, the capital of Sindh, under the title: "Targeted Operation" with the support of the police and Pakistan Rangers. The operation, which commenced on September 5, is supposedly conducted against the increase in targeted killings, extortion, kidnappings and incidents of terrorism including bomb blasts. The Pakistan Rangers has been given powers of arrest and detention of the suspects including permission to shoot on sight.
During the last nine months of the operation, according to official reports, 17,000 persons were arrested on several charges. However, contrary to this figure, the two jails operating in Karachi claim that they have received only1,500 suspects. The police and Pakistan Rangers, who at the end of every 30 days issue their report on their arrests, have not even mentioned the whereabouts of the remaining suspects. The correct figures on the encounters and extra judicial killings were not available but through reports published in the media more than 150 persons were killed under mysterious circumstances after their arrests and torture duringinterrogations.
The political party of the Karachi, the MQM, claims that since January this year, 45 activists have disappeared following arrest by the Rangers and police and among these were found the 18 activists' whose bodies riddled with torture wounds. The government has to-date not conducted any inquiries.
SUGGESTED ACTION:
Please write letters to the authorities, mentioned below, calling them to release Amanat Abbas immediately and if he is involved in any wrongdoing he should be produced before a court of law and a due legal process of prosecution should be followed instead of resorting to abductions , torture and extra judicial killings.

SAMPLE LETTER
Dear ………………..,
Name of victim:Mr. Amanat Abbas 43, son of Inayat Abbas, resident of house number E/169, Ali Basti, Gulbahar 1, Karachi, Sindh provice
Names of alleged perpetrators:
Inspector Manzoor, Pakistan Rangers, stationed at Nazimabad number 1, Karachi
Director General of Pakistan Rangers, Karachi
Station House Officer (SHO), Rizvia police station, Nazimabad, Karaci
Date of incident:June 24, 2014
Place of incident:Zain-ul-Abideen Hospital, Nazimabad, Karachi, Sindh
I am writing to voice my deep concern regarding the illegal arrest and disappearance of Mr. Amanat Abbas, political activist of MQM from hospital by the Pakistan Rangers stationed at Nazimabad, Karachi and since June 24, his whereabouts are unknown.
I have received information that Mr. Amanat Abbas, son of Inayat Abbas, 43 years old, and a resident of Gulbahar , Karachi, was arrested on 24th June 2014 from the Zain-ul-Abideen Hospital at around 5.30 in the evening by officials of Pakistan Rangers. Mr. Abbas belongs to the MQM, a political party that holds 25 seats in the National Assembly and 44 seats in the Sindh Provincial Assembly and he was in charge of the MQM unit 189 and is a prominent and well known politician /activists in the area. According to reports he had received a phone asking him to come immediately to the hospital saying that a close relative is seriously ill and injured following which he had rushed to the hospital. No sooner he had reached the emergency ward of the hospital five jeeps belonging to the Pakistan Rangers had surrounded the hospital with at least 25 persons in Rangers' uniforms. One, officer from the Pakistan Rangers, Inspector Manzoor, had already been inside the hospital premises awaiting his arrival, when he had commanded Mr. Abbas to go along with him. When Mr. Abbas had inquired as to the reason, several other soldiers from the Pakistan Rangers had grabbed him with his neck and shoulder and dragged him along the floor and was thrown into one of the jeeps parked there and which was driven by Inspector Manzoor.
According to witness accounts, people who had gathered at the scene had triedinterene and inquire from the Rangers as to the treatment given to Abbas, and they were met by some of the Rangers pointing their guns at them. By standers there, had later informed his wife about the sudden arrest. According to some others who had followed the convoy of the jeeps, they had taken him to the headquarters of the Pakistan Rangers at Nazimabad, near Ghalib library, which is nearby the hospital.
His wife and brothers had immediately contacted police to figure out the reasons of arrest. The officials of Rizvia police station have refused to give any information of his arrest or any involvement in arrest. The wife of Abbas had written an application to the station house officer (SHO) of Rizvia police station to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) but he too has refused to file a report saying that in the matters of arrest by the Rangers police have no authority to issue any such report since such matters are handled with orders from higher authorities in government.
I have also learned that later during the late hours of 24th June, several close friends and relatives had visited the local headquarter of Pakistan Rangers at Nazimabad where they were told that he is not there. When relatives have informed that they had received information that Mr. Abbas was brought there, the guards of Rangers warned them to leave or face similar consequences.
I strongly urge and call upon the relevant authorities to release Amanat Abbas immediately and if he is in fact involved in any wrongdoing he should be produced before the court of law and a due legal process of prosecution should be followed instead of abduction . I also urge you to take necessary action against the Pakistan Rangers who are stationed at Karachi for taking law into their own hands and acting above the law.

7X Energy Inc., a Texas-based utility-scale solar developer, has finalized a contract with CoServ Electric and Brazos Electric Power Cooperative Inc. for the sale of solar energy from the Lapetus Energy Project.
The 35 MW solar project, owned and developed by 7X Energy, will be constructed in Andrews County, Texas, and is scheduled to commence operations in 2019.
Solar energy from the Lapetus facility will be sold in SolarBlocks under a multiyear power purchase agreement (PPA). SolarBlocks is a power block purchasing strategy developed by 7X that enables customers to procure contractually guaranteed fixed blocks of energy produced from solar plants. The fixed blocks of solar, which can be forecast down to the 15-minute settlement interval, lock in low energy rates during peak periods when electricity can be most expensive and remove the intermittent variability of delivered energy associated with traditional solar generation, explains 7X. SolarBlocks can be purchased by electric cooperatives, utilities and corporations in competitive retail electricity markets.
"For too long, our industry has been trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole, and we aim to change that by making renewable energy procurement easier for buyers," notes Clay Butler, CEO of 7X Energy.
Brazos Electric will be purchasing the energy on behalf of CoServ Electric for the benefit of CoServ's roughly 220,000 electric meters in north Texas. 7X claims this agreement represents the largest solar energy contract to date with an electric cooperative in Texas.
CoServ and Brazos Electric were supported in the development of the contract by the National Renewables Cooperative Organization, which provides origination and development services for its owner-members and electric cooperative customers.
During peak construction, the Lapetus facility will bring 75 jobs to the county and inject millions in local property tax revenue over its lifetime, notes 7X.

Funds create 300,000 jobs
Cayman News | 13/12/2010
(CNS): The world's hedge fund industry employs an estimated 300,000 people according to the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) the hedge fund industry' global association. It's the first time the number of jobs created by the sector globally has been assessed. AIMA produced the figures after surveying its members internationally. AIMA has more than 1200 corporate members in more than 40 countries. Its hedge fund manager members manage in excess of 75% of global hedge fund assets and 70% of global fund of hedge funds assets. The regional breakdown of the figure, AIMA said is 240,000 in North America, 50,000 in Europe and 10,000 in Asia-Pacific.
The totals include both those employed directly within the hedge fund sector and those jobs generated by the industry among service providers like administrators, lawyers and accountants. The ratio of direct jobs to indirect jobs was found by AIMA to be generally 1:2, so the number of direct jobs within the industry globally is 100,000 with a further 200,000 indirect jobs generated by the industry.
AIMA CEO Andrew Baker said: "It is striking that hedge fund industry managers generate an additional two jobs among service providers for every job in the sector. That means that the industry is creating significant additional employment in the jurisdictions in which it operates, including in the EU, Switzerland, the United States and Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and Australia.
"The estimated figure of 300,000 jobs generated globally is a significant one and it demonstrates the importance of the industry to the broader economy in the many jurisdictions in which the industry is based. It shows that the hedge fund industry provides value not only to its investors and to the markets in which it operates, but to the communities where its employees work."

Eleven construction workers are dead following heavy rain and flash floods in Shenzhen on the evening of Thursday, April 11. In total, three people died at Xiangmihu in Futian District, while eight workers died at two seperate sites in Luohu District.
Rescue missions were underway since the evening of April 11, when the construction workers were washed away by rising water. The final missing construction worker was found on Saturday, April 13 at 1.08pm according to Luohu District Emergency Management Bureau.
In the aftermath of the floods, media outlets are now pointing towards four individual yellow weather warnings issued by Shenzhen Meteorological Bureau for wind, lightning, rain and hail between 7.10-8.10pm on April 11. The deceased construction workers apparently ignored these warnings and continued to work through the rainfall, thereby bringing about the fatalities.
According to a report by Beijing Youth Daily, the construction workers in Futian District were working on a river-dredging project with China Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. Futian District authorities have ordered that the project be temporarily shutdown after the disaster, while authorities conduct an investigation and inspection of the project.
Yin Xuekang, the deputy director of Futian District Water Affairs Bureau, told media that the company working on the river-dredging project at Xiangmihu did not anticipate the intensity of the rainfall on Thursday evening.
The death toll has now reached 78, according to Beijing News.

After an inauspicious start to the season DS Virgin bounced back in Marrakesh with a second place for Sam Bird and Jose Maria Lopez scoring his first ever point in the series.
And Tai said that it was the potential of his drivers that was one of the main reasons for feeling confident, with Bird having won last year's race and Lopez driving in his home ePrix.
Tai said, "DS Virgin Racing really are fully charged ahead of Buenos Aires. In Marrakech Sam podiumed, in a car our fantastic mechanics had rebuilt literally minutes before the race commenced.
Ahead of racing in his home race, Lopez will be taking part in a street parade in Buenos Aires on Wednesday, ahead of the race.
He said that he was looking forward to racing in front of an Argentinian crowd, commenting "I'm getting a lot of media asking me how I'll perform in Buenos Aires, it being my home country.
Last year's race winner Bird said that he was also hopeful of pulling off a repeat of his result from last time.
"It's a great race for drivers and better still, a great day out for spectators," Bird said.

It is her 49th single release overall and had a limited release in Australia, New Zealand and some European countries including the UK. The song wasn't singed by Eva's character in the original Broadway show, but it was changed for the film adaptation in order to give Madonna another chance for a hit and to show a more vulnerable side to her character in Evita. A minor hit for Madonna, only went Top 10 in the UK and Italy.

Arsenal Kyiv – Like Phoenix From the Ashes
Futbolgrad 0 November 5, 2017 11:05 pm
Callum Seniuk –
Finding its history dating back to 1993, Arsenal Kyiv have had a history that can only be described as a rollercoaster ride. Starting as FC Nyva Myronivka and continuing as FC Arsenal-Kyiv Shchaslyve, the club has gone through name changes, splits and bankruptcy. Despite their steep road, Arsenal Kyiv currently find themselves with the prospect of being promoted to the Ukrainian Premier League. Commonly dwarfed by their city rivals, Dynamo Kyiv, Arsenal have the opportunity of reigniting the Kyiv Derby. With football and their differing politics involved, Arsenal Kyiv are looking to come back with a bang.
Claiming to date back to the creation of a multi-sports club from the Arsenal Factory in 1925, the organisation now known as Arsenal Kyiv was fully established in 1993. FC Boryspil, the club where it all began, was established by Dmytro Zlobenko and Ihor Kovalevych on March 9, 1993. Merging with FC Nyva Myronivka who were playing in the Transitional League. The club was temporarily renamed Nyva-Borysfen in the 1992-93 season; the club soon found its rivalry establishing between themselves and Dynamo Kyiv.
Meeting in the Ukrainian Cup, Nyva-Borysfen suffered a 7-1 defeat over two legs. This derby would be the start with more to come. Returning to familiar roots of FC Borysfen Boryspil for the 1993-94 season, the club was now competing in the Second League. Securing the services of Viktor Kolotov and Anatoliy Demyanenko, both of whom had playing careers at Dynamo Kyiv, set the club on a path of optimism. Changing its name to FC Boryspil during the winter break of the 1993-94 season, the club dared to be ambitious by negotiating with legendary Ukrainian coach, Valeriy Lobanovskyi. Unfortunately for the club, they were unable to secure his services. Despite the disappointment, FC Boryspil were promoted to the First League. Appointing Volodymyr Bezsonov as their new manager, the club soon found itself merging with another club in 1994.

Merging with the Central Sports Club of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (CSK ZSU) under the new name of FC CSKA-Borysfen Boryspil, the CSK ZSU now had two professional teams under its wings. With this being the case, the original club under the CSK ZU, CSKA Kyiv, was reorganised to become Borysfen's second team. The merger saw the club relocated from Boryspil to Kyiv, resulting in another name change. Now known as CSKA-Borysfen Kyiv, it did not take long for the newly merged team to get promoted.
Now in the top flight of Ukrainian Football, it appeared that everything was running smoothly. Their first season in the top flight saw the club finish 4th, an impressive achievement for a newly promoted club. Hoping to replicate and improve on their performance of the 1995-96 season, CSKA-Borysfen Kyiv marched forward into a positive era. However, 1996 brought across more change at the club. Splitting into two different clubs, FC CSKA Kyiv and Borysfen Boryspil, with the management of CSKA-Borysfen deciding to recreate a club back in Boryspil, left FC CSKA Kyiv under the wings of the Ministry of Defense.
The further transformation had an impact on the club. After the impressive fourth place for the 1995-96 season, FC CSKA Kyiv found themselves dropping down the table. Despite the drop down the table, Kyiv found themselves reaching the final of the Ukrainian Cup, and even having success on the European stage. The clubs greatest achievement came during the 2001-02 UEFA Cup. Defeating Jokerit and Serbian Giants Red Star Belgrade, CSKA Kyiv found themselves reaching the second round where they were knocked out by Club Brugge. Again, the club was hit by more change. Due to a financial crisis at CSKA, the budget was cut, leaving the club with the possibility of being dissolved. As a result of the efforts by then Kyiv mayor, Oleksandr Omelchenko, the Kyiv Administration decided on the purchase of CSKA's first team, leading to the creation of the club now known as Arsenal Kyiv.
Arsenal Kyiv
Becoming the cities team, Arsenal Kyiv was fully funded by the city administration. The change and unsettled nature surrounding the club translated into performances in the league. Failing to emulate their fourth-place finish in the 1995-96 season, Kyiv became a typical mid-table side.
Unfortunately, Arsenal Kyiv continued to be hit with instability, especially when regarding finances. With budgets being cut by the city administration, there was little hope for the club to enter a stable period where success could be achieved. Sold to Ukrainian oligarch, Vadim Rabinovich in 2007, there was hope the club would only look forward. With a familiar picture building, that wasn't the case for Arsenal Kyiv. The club was sold in 2009 to Leonid Chernovetskyi for 1 Hryvnia. This mismanagement and lack of care for the club was clear. Rabinovich re-entered the picture in 2010 when he bought back the club in the hope correcting the mistake and putting it on a clear path.
Buried by the oligarchs, Arsenal Kyiv managed to resurrect itself from the grave.
Unfortunately, this was never the case. Handled without care, Arsenal Kyiv faced a grim future. Three years went by, and Kyiv was on the path to non-existence. Run into the ground by oligarchs; Arsenal Kyiv was hit by the unthinkable, liquidation and bankruptcy. Announcing that the club could face liquidation, Rabinovich sunk the knife into the hearts of the fans. It was later announced that Oleksandr Onyshchenko would finance the club and solve the crisis at Arsenal Kyiv.
The circus surrounding Arsenal Kyiv was soul destroying, especially for the fans. Treated without a care in the world, the club was on a slope into the dark abyss. Rabinovich resigned from his position as club President on August 29, 2013. The next day, Onyshchenko stated that he could choose not to help the club in dire straits. On October 24, it was announced that Onyshchenko would no longer finance the club, he left behind a mess that could not be fixed. Unable to sustain themselves, the General Director of Arsenal Kyiv announced that club was filling for bankruptcy and withdrawing from competitions. Fourteen games into the 2013-14 season, Arsenal Kyiv seised to exist.
Revived as FC Arsenal Kyiv by former players, fans and Oleksiy Kikireshk, the club was risen from its ashes, spreading its wings and set free from the doom and gloom of the past. Remerging as nothing, Arsenal Kyiv was about to become something. Starting in the depths of the Kyiv City League, Arsenal Kyiv soon found itself winning the league and in a position to progress to the Second League (Druha Liha).
Applying for participation in the 2015-16 season, the club found itself entering an era of stability which it lacked previously. As a result of stability, Arsenal Kyiv were now able to establish itself as a football club that can compete and take on whoever is put in front of them. Promoted in their first season in the First League (Persha Liha), Arsenal Kyiv were one step away of returning to the heights of the Ukrainian Premier League. Their first season in the Persha Liha saw the club finish tenth with 12 wins, nine draws, and 13 loses.
This year Arsenal Kyiv have turned a new page in their challenging history. Signing a total of 15 players for the season, it was clear that the club wanted to prove a point. Prove a point they did. Going on a 19 game unbeaten streak to start their season, Arsenal Kyiv currently sit top of the Persha Liha. With a +27 goal difference and the lowest goals against in the league, it is clear that the club reigning from the capital is firing on all cylinders. Managed by a familiar face, Serhiy Litovcehnko has taken the league by storm. Arsenal Kyiv now face the genuine prospect of returning to the top flight of Ukrainian Football. Rising like a Phoenix from their ashes, Arsenal Kyiv are spreading their wings with pride in the hope of returning to its former glory.

Syracuse, N.Y. — A large fire Saturday night forced the evacuation of Icon Tower, a high-rise of apartments, offices and retail space in downtown Syracuse.
At 7:14 p.m. someone called 911 to report smoke in the building at 344 S. Warren St., Fire Chief Michael Monds said.
Firefighters arrived and found smoke on the ninth and 10th floors, Monds said. When they arrived the alarm and sprinklers started, he said.
Firefighters located a large fire on the 10th floor and started extinguishing it, he said. A total of 56 firefighters responded, he said.
The apartment where the fire started suffered heavy damage and the two apartments on either side of it had heat, smoke and water damage. The rest of the building could have water damage from water trickling down, he said.
The 10-story building has 89 apartments, plus office and retail space.
The fire was a challenge because the building has multiple entrances and was remodeled from commercial space to residential, he said. It isn't as straightforward as a fire in a normal apartment complex, he said.
No one was injured and everyone was able to get out on their own, he said.
At one point water could be seen pouring out of an apartment window high up in the building
The initial 911 call was that a candle had fallen into a trash can and a fire had spread in one of the apartments, according to dispatches from the Onondaga County 911 Center. The official cause is under investigation, but residents reported a candle involved, Monds said.
Residents who evacuated the building were gathered outside. Some people had their pets – dogs, cats – with them outside. At about 8:30 p.m., the tenants were taken into a nearby garage and the lobby of the building.
Any resident looking for information should call the building management or meet them in the lobby, Monds said.
The building was vacant for years after its major tenant, the Excellus BlueCross BlueShield insurance company, moved to DeWitt in 2006. It reopened in 2017 after being redeveloped.

Welcome back to Weed Wednesday, your weekly dose of pot news. Wondering what this is about? Click. Looking for our previous marijuana coverage? Click.
First, an update on the so-called Kettle Falls Five. That's the local case we wrote about last week and that's been getting lots of national play, in which a family of medical marijuana patients faces federal charges for growing pot with, the government argues, an intent to sell it. The trial was set to start this week, but has been delayed until July 28.
Also on the medical front, insurers are (unsurprisingly) reluctant to cover cannabis, but the Veterans Administration in Colorado has announced it will not deny services to veterans who use marijuana and receive federal health benefits.
The lack of banking services remains a major issue for both medical and recreational marijuana businesses nationwide, and Colorado is again drawing attention to that problem. The governor there says he's likely to sign a bill recently passed by the state legislature that aims to establish a sort of credit union for cannabis and industrial hemp businesses. However, the system would require approval from the Federal Reserve System, which is certainly not guaranteed.
In Washington, things have, as you've probably noticed, been happening significantly slower than in Colorado. Without a well-organized and regulated medical marijuana system, like Colorado had, authorities here have exercised a deliberate diligence as they craft the recreational market from scratch. Despite all the waiting, the expected "green rush" has already begun. A company that wasn't selected in the recent lottery for retail licenses has purchased another company that did win the lottery. "We placed another bet on this new industry's future," a spokesman for the purchasing company told the Seattle Times.
Meanwhile, a strange federal lawsuit filed Thursday is challenging Washington's ability to tax marijuana as long as it remains illegal under federal law. According to the Associated Press, a westside dispensary owner who's facing charges for distributing marijuana and failing to collect taxes on that pot is arguing he can't pay his taxes without incriminating himself. But Alison Holcomb, who authored the state's recreational marijuana law, has argued the case is likely a dead end. She says the taxes referenced are simply general sales taxes being applied to pot sales (rather than marijuana-specific taxes), meaning dispensary owners don't have to tell state officials what they sold and can therefore avoid self-incrimination and still follow the law.

Mama Rainbow (彩虹伴我心, Fan Popo, 2012)
Written by Hayley ScanlonPosted on April 21, 2020
Though homosexuality is not illegal in contemporary China, it is perhaps still taboo. The notoriously strict censorship board is particularly averse to content which features LGBTQ+ themes, though many mainstream filmmakers have been able to get around the regulations with subversive allusions to same sex relationships. Times are perhaps changing. Rather than a gloomy exploration of the issues many young gay men and women face, Fan Popo's Mama Rainbow (彩虹伴我心, Cǎihóng Bàn Wǒ Xīn) spins a tale of mass acceptance in following six mothers of gay children who, though not always so immediately supportive, have embraced their kids' sexuality and in fact become activists themselves.
Fan opens with a vox pop session asking members of the public about their views on homosexuality. The first few answers are predictably depressing with even young people looking embarrassed and either walking off or replying that they find the idea "disgusting", "very bad", "abnormal", or "unacceptable". Later, a few are found who think the question itself is unnecessary because they have no problem with gay people, but then asked how they'd feel if their child told them they were gay, most immediately say they wouldn't like it though some concede there's nothing they could do about it anyway so they'd have to just go with it while others say they'd simply "guide" them back towards the "right" direction so that they'd make "good choices".
One of the mothers, Mama Zhao, admits she originally thought the same way. Her son had agreed to marry a girl, but after reading book by another influential Mama decided that he couldn't, committing himself to living an authentic life as an openly gay man. She tearfully admits that though she has accepted it herself, she is still ashamed to explain to other people, brushing off questions about why her son is still single with dull platitudes rather than simply telling them that he is gay.
After attending talks by the woman who wrote the book that so affected her son, Mama Wu, Mama Zhao began to understand a little better, realising that the most important thing is that her son is happy which he certainly wouldn't be if he forced himself to marry a woman to fulfil a social ideal. Education seems to be the key. Meiyi didn't know much about homosexuality and thought it was something that was popular abroad that people did because it was trendy. When her daughter became close with a high school friend who ended up moving in with them, she began to see things differently and got to know a few other gay kids who she thought were all fantastic. She jokes that her daughter's girlfriend "brainwashed" her by taking her to LGTBQ+ events, while the other girl's own mother is also very supportive, actively empathising with her daughter's choices right down to appreciating her taste in other women.
Sister Mei and her son, meanwhile, are a cheerful and exuberant double act. She moved into the city to live with him in fear that he might need help locating other gay men (a move which seems like it should be counter productive but probably isn't given the open nature of their relationship) and has now thrown herself into activism as a member of China's PFLAG, becoming a surrogate Mama for all those who've been rejected by their families or just need to hear a supportive voice. Likewise, Mama Jasmine was as cool as could be when her daughter, after years of bringing female "classmates" over to dinner, finally came out and was supportive in a lowkey way until approached by Ah Qiang, the founder of PFLAG in China, to become a local organiser.
Mama Wu, the woman who wrote the book that changed the mindset of Mama Zhao's son and convinced her that his happiness was all that really mattered, speaks to another young man who reveals he hasn't come out to his mother (assuming she doesn't see the documentary) because she is in poor health and he worries that she just won't be able to take the shock. Mama Xuan, who suspected her son was gay but hoped he'd grow out of it, tearfully takes to the stage to reveal that he has suffered violence and discrimination because of his sexuality, beaten up at school but too afraid to get help in case his parents find out why he was attacked, and subsequently blacklisted and expelled leaving him with a blemish on his record when the kids who attacked him had their views reinforced by the tacit approval of the school authorities. There is obviously work still to be done, but there are plenty of people willing to do it, because at the end of the day all they want is for their kids to be safe and happy and enjoying exactly the same rights as everyone else while surrounded by love and acceptance.
Mama Rainbow is currently available to stream via Vimeo as part of Queer East's online edition with all proceeds going to support independent cinemas.

Sibusiso Derrick Duma (born 6 May 1984) is a South African serial killer who was convicted of two murders in 2007 and five murders in 2009 and sentenced to 8 life sentences in prison. He was mostly active around the City of Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal.

Duma is a violent psychopath who partook of theft, kidnapping, torture, rape and murder. He worked as a taxi driver and used his vehicle as a weapon on occasion as well as to obtain his victims. Duma's reasoning, victimology and methodology changed sometimes from victim to victim, indicating that he was a disorganized killer.

Duma first killed on 9 September 2007 when he used his minibus taxi to run over and kill a Department of Education security guard, Mqeku Zondi. Duma had been hired to drive Mr. Zondi to his residence for an agreed upon fee. The conductor of Duma's taxi, Mlungisi Bhengu, testified that Zondi reneged on paying the fare for some of the journey, at which point "Duma drove into the old man, ran over him with the wheels of the taxi and then reversed over his body again". Duma then robbed the victim of his remaining money and a 9mm Norinco pistol.

On the evening of 14 October 2007, Duma and his accomplice, Simphiwe Khesi, had been drinking at a local shebeen. Leaving a little after 19:00, the men realised that there would be no taxis available, so they planned to hijack a vehicle in order to get home. Finding a suitable vehicle, Duma shot and killed the driver, First National Bank employee Patricia Kippen (39). The shooting brought attention from nearby residents, causing the duo to abandon the vehicle. They soon found another possible target vehicle, shooting and killing the driver, former Witness crime journalist, Elaine Anderson (59).

On 19 October 2007, Duma raped, shot and murdered Hlengiwe Shangase. Duma had waited near her home before dragging her to a desolate area and raping her. He then shot her in the head at point blank range using the Norinco pistol he had stolen from Mqeku Zondi.

The following day, Duma hijacked, shot and killed two men; Masizane Mtshatsha and Thamsanqua Mbindwane. An hour later, now driving in the hijacked VW Polo, Duma kidnapped three further victims; Tsepo Mhlongo, Linda Jali and a teenage girl. The two men were robbed, ordered out of the vehicle, shot and left for dead. Duma with his accomplice, Simphiwe Khesi, took the young girl to Azalea Cemetery where they raped her. Duma then drove the stolen car over the girl multiple times in order to kill her.

Finally, on 25 October 2007, Duma kidnapped, robbed, raped and murdered Pinetown teacher, Noxolo Dlamini.

Duma was originally charged, convicted and sentenced along with Simphiwe Khesi for the murders of Kippen and Anderson on 14 November 2007. Judge President Vuka Tshabalala sentenced the men to 15 years each for attempting to rob Anderson and sentenced Duma to 15 years for robbing Kippen and Khesi 20 years, in addition to the life sentences for murder. Both men laughed when sentenced saying, "They're dead now. What are they worrying about?"

On 4 August 2009, Duma was further charged in connection with his various other crimes. On 17 August 2009, Acting Judge Kobus Booyens imposed a further six life sentences and prison terms totaling 104 years. He said he intends that Duma should be permanently removed from society.

Q: where does the term half in the formula of electrostatic potential energy comes from?(system of point charges) Electrostatic potential energy stored in a system of point charges   (from wikipedia)
The electrostatic potential energy $U_E$ stored in a system of N charges q1, q2, ..., qN at positions r1, r2, ..., rN respectively, is:
$U_\mathrm{E} = \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^N q_i \Phi(\mathbf{r}_i) = \frac{1}{2} \sum_{i=1}^N q_i \sum_{j=1}^{N(j\ne i)} k_e \frac{q_j}{r_{ij}}$
where does the term $1\over2$ comes from?
Thank you

A: It is really a matter of combinations. Potential energy is a feature of a system, so between two particles there is one potential energy. The summation however, will cadd the potential energy between two particles twice (e.g., $q_1\phi(\mathbf{r}_2)$ and $q_2\phi(\mathbf{r}_1)$). Hence, the one half term has to be introduced so that the potential energy of each pairing is not added twice.

Alberico (Albéric) Crescitelli, né le  et mort (exécuté) le , est un prêtre catholique italien des « Missions étrangères de Milan » PIME, missionnaire en Chine, vénéré comme saint martyr par l'Église catholique (fête le 21 juillet).

Biographie

Né en Italie le  au sein d'une famille profondément pieuse, Alberico Crescitelli entre en 1880 au  séminaire romain pontifical des saints apôtres Pierre et Paul pour les missions étrangères  (qui deviendra l'Institut des missions étrangères de Milan en 1926). Après des études de théologie a l'université grégorienne, il est ordonné prêtre le . L'année suivante, il part pour la Chine au Sud de la province du Shaanxi.

Cependant, dans tout le pays une politique protectrice et anti-occidentale se met en place débouchant même sur des persécutions et des meurtres de missionnaires chrétiens et de fidèles chinois, ainsi que de destructions d'églises. C'est la révolte des Boxers. Le sacrifice du père Alberico Crescitelli survient dans ce climat à un moment où il est actif en apostolat dans le district de Ningxiang. Le 21 juillet 1900, à Yen-Tsé-Pien, vers onze heures du soir, alors qu'il prie, il est saisi par un groupe de malfaiteurs qui le torture avec des bâtons et des couteaux, puis lui attache les chevilles avec une corde et le traîne mourant jusqu'à un endroit près de la rivière où, après quelques tentatives infructueuses pour le décapiter, ils le découpe en morceaux et le jette dans la rivière.

Reconnaissance
Ses frères, qui connaissaient ses qualités depuis de nombreuses années, ont lancé son procès en béatification dès 1908, et les témoins cités ont été unanimes à proclamer la sainteté de sa vie. Il a été déclaré bienheureux à la basilique Saint-Pierre du Vatican le 18 février 1951 par le pape Pie XII. Ensuite, Jean-Paul II l'a inclus dans la liste des 120 saints martyrs de Chine canonisés sur la place Saint-Pierre le 1er octobre 2000.
