As a follow-up to my previous post in regards to the June 2015 SAT Error, students are not accepting CollegeBoard's promise of accurate scores despite the mishap. Media is to the rescue for these concerned students and parents.
A pair of students, Courtney Noll and Sarah Choudhury, began a change.org petition against the CollegeBoard. Change.org is a platform that allows users to sign petitions online instead of the traditional in-person route. This particular petition "June 6 SAT Error –Petition for an Optional Retest" allows test-takers from all over the country to help reach the same goal: an optional re-test.
1. What are some things you want your fellow test takers to know?
Courtney: First off, I would like to tell all my fellow test takers to sign the petition!! And for those who have already signed it, I would like to tell them how much their support means to Sarah and me. I know how much this mistake affected everyone, and I want them to know that we will keep petitioning the College Board until we get our retest.
Sarah: Hello fellow test takers, I guess I will apologize on behalf of the College Board for their actions…..or the lack thereof for effectively combatting their printing error. I know there are a lot of you who feel cheated and deceived by the College Board's new way of grading, and for those of you, I say you should sign the petition for a free optional retest before October! After all, our dreams and aspirations are being put in the hands of the College Board who seem to care more about their money, rather than the students!
2. What would you like the College Board to know (as if you were speaking directly to them)?
After the dozens of phone calls we exchanged, you probably know how disappointed we are with you and your actions. From scheduling a retest for us that didn't even exist, to thinking it's okay to estimate student's scores, we think that it's more than clear that we will continue to fight. We've gained more supporters than ever before, and they will stand with us. You know that a retest is only fair, but your bank account thinks that saving money should be put first. We recently received an email from you, and it ended with "Challenging all students to own their future." But let us tell you how loaded and ironic that statement is. Not only, did we lose control of our future to you, but you somehow decided to jeopardize it too! Having a "range" be acceptable for SAT scores, is completely and utterly unacceptable. You know what's right, now make it right.
3. What are your plans if your petition receives enough signatures?
Courtney: I will definitely take the retest! I'll probably throw a celebratory block party actually maybe even a city party (do they have those?) it's okay we'll petition for one! Okay but in all seriousness, I would definitely want to do something special for all of our supporters.
Sarah: First of all, there is no question, I would take the retest with out a doubt! I would thank the College Board for finally making the right decision and putting the students' interests first. My faith in humanity would be restored once again and I guess I would come to Courtney's block party. But if that happens, we would not be able to achieve this feat without the help of our nationwide and international supporters.
Courtney: So it's crazy to think that we'll be applying to college this fall! My sister currently attends Stanford University, so that's one of my top choices. I'm also looking at many of the other Ivy Leauge schools. I'm looking at a career in either business, political science, or even computer science.
Sarah: Wow I can't believe college apps are so close! I would like to go into the field of medicine and apply to seven year programs or undergrad programs. I've been looking at John Hopkins, Stony Brook, and maybe even Ivy Leagues. However, these dream schools rely heavily on my SAT scores. So I hope the College Board gets its act together.
According to the Washington Post, a little under 500,000 people registered for the June 2015 SAT. The petition's goal is receive 1,000 signatures. As of today, June 17, they have 865 supporters. You can view the petition here.
There are big changes in store for the SAT in 2016, but what about now? During the June 6 testing date last week, there was an error printed in Educational Testing Service (ETS) booklets across the country. The error said to allow students 25-minutes on two of the sections instead of the actual allotted 20-minutes.
The Monday after the exam, CollegeBoard emailed June 2015 testers, notifying them of the error, explaining the two sections would not be graded, and the test-takers would still receive accurate scores and would not need to re-test.
Some test-takers, however, pointed out some unfairness in the CollegeBoard's plans. What if a student scored well on the mislabeled sections, better than the sections that will be graded? By not grading the mislabeled sections, they are actually missing out on points they would have received. Some argued that a make-up should be mandatory or at least optional.
Indeed, there are changes coming to the SAT in less than a year, but what about those who will take the exam during the 2015 fall and 2016 winter quarters? Will they have to take these additional two sections even though their scores can be graded without them?
The redesign of question content, no guessing penalty as well as other changes to the SAT will be released in Spring 2016. When the CollegeBoard first announced these implements, I reported on high school counselors' and college admissions officers' plans for the new test and if they would implement new procedures as well.
Just recently, Khan Academy announced free online SAT prep for students is now available. In addition to the new changes to the test's format, CollegeBoard is also partnering with Khan Academy in order to give more students access to preparation materials. The CollegeBoard hopes these changes will create a more level playing field for students, no matter their means available for test prep.

A Rodovia Governador Carvalho Pinto (SP-70) inicia-se no entroncamento com a Rodovia Ayrton Senna, no município de Guararema e termina em Taubaté, na intersecção com a Rodovia Oswaldo Cruz que liga a cidade de Taubaté a cidade de Ubatuba. Foi inaugurada incompleta em 23 de dezembro de 1994, pelo então Governador Luiz Antônio Fleury Filho. A inauguração definitiva do primeiro trecho ocorreu em 16 de setembro de 1998 e do prolongamento em 28 de fevereiro de 2018.

A Rodovia Carvalho Pinto cruza os municípios de Guararema, Jacareí, São José dos Campos, Caçapava e Taubaté, dando acesso ao litoral norte paulista pela Rodovia dos Tamoios (SP-99) e pela Rodovia Oswaldo Cruz (SP-125), outras localidades do Vale do Paraíba como Santa Branca, Paraibuna e Jambeiro e cidades do alto da Serra da Mantiqueira como Santo Antônio do Pinhal e Campos do Jordão.

Organizations share clarity of vision concerning what they are, and what it is they want to achieve. It's a question of focus. And they say Focus is the Key.
Recently a still photo laden CD was released to highlight Kashmir tourist destinations by some local private organization. Putting together some pictures, with text though, is at least a good effort and can make a part of the total communications effort. However, it is only part of the picture.
One off initiatives like making a calendar, an odd flyer or some poorly conceived films with heaps of Kashmir landscape, hardly helps.
Thus far as a tourist destination we have not taken the time to precisely figure out what we have to offer and taken steps to define it to the world, that is why it is left to others to define Kashmir valley. For many years Kashmir sold itself through its famous legacy of "Agar Firous Bar Roa-e- Zameen Ast, Hamein Asto. Hamein Asto Hamein Ast." Even this brand of Heaven on Earth was never professionally branded, it just happened. This "paradise on earth" brand survives singularly theCOMPETITIVE world without a clear, positive and effective brand identity. We are harping on the intangible Kashmir of the folkloric past. But how long can a destination like Kashmir keep saying, look we are heaven on earth?
There is not a single destination today without very careful attention to brand identity. Perception becomes reality. There are many good, bad and sometimes ugly perceptions around word Kashmir, none of these are controlled. Kashmir is a brand craving for a desired position.
Media centric publicity approach or advertising that too limited to Kashmir itself, is not branding of our much hyped tourism product and service. That would be like defining building a house as a saw and hammer. They are tools of the trade, nothing more.
There is a need to take an objective view of the Kashmir Tourism brand and the perceptions around it. It is also necessary to figure out what we can realistically project Kashmir valley to be. A systematic investment in brand building could mean handsome gains by way of influx of attention.
Brands have been described as `the infinite asset'. So, clearly they have values, which is even common to places, which take the initiative of branding themselves distinctively. So, branding Kashmir can and will make a difference.
Kashmir brand is name, term, sign, symbol or design or combination of them intended to identify our product, differentiating it from those ofCOMPETITIONS . The determining issue in Kashmir as a unique destination brand will be, how effectively the brand will be designed. Does the brand fit with its environment? What is the relationship of the brand to other place brands in the area, country, or continent? And how will the brand attributes be perpetuated through time and from generation to generation?
Need of the hour is to working on strategies to spruce up our different brand images for instance Kashmir as a destination and heaven of exquisite traditional products. In spite of the challenges, Kashmir has a bright future forPLACE OF ORIGIN branding. We can enter into partnership with the private sector to materialize Kashmir's new tourism strategy but it has to surely be an apolitical way.
Nonetheless, we can tag Kashmir tourism with "an experience of a lifetime". What kind of an experience depends on a tourist's personality type.

New Skyteam lounges on the way
14 Mar 2016 by Tom Otley
The opening of the new Exclusive Skyteam Lounge at Dubai International this month will be followed by two more openings, Chief Executive Officer of Skyteam Airline Alliance Management, Perry Cantarutti has confirmed.
"We are opening a fifth one in Dubai in the next couple of weeks in the new International Concourse D. We have two more in the development pipeline, one at the end of 2016 and one at the end of 2017."
"We are focused on offering them at airports where we don't have a home carrier that's part of the Skyteam and where any carrier by itself may not have the volume to justify investing in a top quality lounge itself. Today we have Skyteam Exclusive Lounges in Sydney, Hong Kong, London and Istanbul."
(For details of those lounges, see Hong Kong, Sydney, Istanbul and London)
The new lounge at Dubai follows on from new lounges for Lufthansa (see news, March 2016) and British Airways (see news, March 2016)
Cantarutti declined to say where the two new lounges would be, though one of them is expected to be Beijing, particularly since Cantarutti admitted that
"While Skyteam has no home carrier at Beijing, Skyteam members China Eastern and China Southern "are very significant and we do a fair amount of connecting there"
"We think it's a great opportunity to provide a better customer efficiency and better business efficiency for our airline members. The reaction from our customers and our member airlines have been very positive."

Una teoria della giustizia (titolo originale in lingua inglese: A Theory of Justice) è un saggio di filosofia politica ed etica del filosofo statunitense John Rawls. Uscito dapprima nel 1971, fu rivisto sia nel 1975 (per le edizioni tradotte) che nel 1999. La prima edizione in lingua italiana risale al 1982; una nuova edizione in lingua italiana è apparsa nel 2008.

Una teoria della giustizia è la più nota opera di Rawls. Questo saggio rappresenta un paradigma imprescindibile nella ricerca filosofica contemporanea ed è pertanto considerata una delle opere di filosofia politica più importanti del Novecento.

La giustizia distributiva
Con Una teoria della giustizia Rawls tenta di superare la dottrina filosofica dell'utilitarismo, cioè, l'idea secondo la quale una società giusta debba perseguire il maggior benessere possibile per il maggior numero di persone. Per Rawls la posizione utilitaristica tende a sacrificare gli interessi della minoranza.
La concezione di giustizia rawlsiana si basa sull'idea che tutti i beni sociali principali devono essere distribuiti in modo eguale, ed una distribuzione eguale può esserci solo se avvantaggia i più svantaggiati. Rawls utilizza due argomenti a sostegno delle sue idee. Con il primo argomento contrappone la sua teoria alla teoria dell'uguaglianza delle opportunità; il secondo argomento è quello del contratto sociale.
Secondo Rawls, in una società che si fonda sull'uguaglianza delle opportunità, le disuguaglianze di reddito sono giuste perché legate alle capacità ed i meriti di ogni singolo individuo. Egli non critica queste disuguaglianze ma le disuguaglianze immeritate. Nascere ricchi o poveri non è un merito, nascere intelligenti o handicappati non è un merito, si tratta solo di essere più fortunati o meno. Rawls critica la teoria delle pari opportunità perché non tiene conto delle disuguaglianze legate ai talenti naturali di ogni uomo, disuguaglianze immeritate perché arbitrarie.
Egli ritiene che una giustizia distributiva equa debba tener conto delle disuguaglianze immeritate e creare un sistema dove i meno avvantaggiati possano ottenere il massimo possibile.
Per creare una giustizia distributiva equa, Rawls utilizza, reinterpretandolo, lo strumento del contratto sociale, già utilizzato dal giusnaturalismo seicentesco.

La posizione originaria
Con il contratto sociale si ipotizza una situazione pre-sociale dove ogni individuo, chiamato a stabilire i principi di giustizia che dovranno governare la sua costituenda società, e le leggi fondamentali di essa, si trovi in una "posizione originaria", nell'incapacità cioè di conoscere e prevedere quale sarà il suo posto nella società - se sarà ricco o povero, se sarà intelligente o meno, eccetera - il celebre "velo dell'ignoranza".

Ebbene, in condizioni simili, sostiene Rawls, anche se fossero totalmente disinteressate le une rispetto alla sorte propria e delle altre, le parti sarebbero costrette dalla situazione a scegliere due determinati principi di giustizia. Il primo: ogni persona ha un uguale diritto alla più estesa libertà fondamentale, compatibilmente con una simile libertà per gli altri. Il secondo: le ineguaglianze economiche e sociali sono ammissibili soltanto se sono per il beneficio dei meno avvantaggiati. Quest'ultima affermazione è alla base del principio di differenza.

Va notato che la "posizione originaria" non corrisponde allo "stato di natura" del contrattualismo moderno, immaginato come un ipotetico periodo storico precedente il patto sociale. Un'altra differenza tra il contrattualismo di Kant, Locke e Hobbes, è che esso serviva per giustificare il potere e chi lo deteneva. Il neo-contrattualismo di Rawls invece ha come fine quello di delineare una società equa e giusta.

Rawls si differenzia da questo espediente teorico in quanto non "storicizza" la situazione degli individui al di fuori della società, ma opera un processo di "astrazione" nei confronti della società attuale, "spogliando" ogni individuo della propria identità economico-sociale.

L'argomento intuitivo
L'argomento intuitivo a favore della teoria della giustizia come equità viene presentato da Rawls nel secondo capitolo di "Una teoria della Giustizia"; l'argomento intuitivo riguarda sostanzialmente il secondo principio della teoria, quello di differenza, che mira a modellare una distribuzione giusta di risorse, una volta garantita, con il primo principio, l'ascrizione delle eguali libertà fondamentali a ciascuno.

Libertà ed eguaglianza non sono valori confliggenti, l'equità distributiva mira anzi a rendere eguale il diseguale valore delle eguali libertà.
Il sistema della libertà naturale - contestato da Rawls - lascia che le dotazioni moralmente arbitrarie trasferiscano o scarichino con i loro effetti l'arbitrarietà morale sugli esiti distributivi. Questo è incoerente con gli scopi di una teoria della giustizia sociale che è centrata sul valore della scelta individuale e collettiva.

Non è accettabile che istituzioni politiche e pratiche sociali sanzionino con il loro assetto e con il loro funzionamento l'arbitrarietà morale della sorte naturale e sociale. Anche la proposta dell'eguaglianza liberale, centrata sull'eguaglianza delle opportunità, è da ritenere insufficiente sulla base dell'argomento intuitivo di Rawls; il principio di efficienza (che risale a Vilfredo Pareto) è da rimpiazzare con il principio di differenza, specificando l'interpretazione dell'eguaglianza democratica: la priorità è data al punto di vista di chi è più svantaggiato nella distribuzione delle dotazioni iniziali, naturali e sociali.

Si esprime così una "fraternità democratica", basata su un'idea di reciprocità o solidarietà di cittadinanza.  Solo sullo sfondo di istituzioni modellate dal principio di libertà e dal principio di differenza è possibile che una società superi il test della giustificazione etica per chi vi ha una vita, con gli altri, da vivere.

Con l'idea di accettabilità unanime si tiene presente la procedura che dà la precedenza a coloro per i quali lo schema di cooperazione è meno accettabile: solo se l'accettazione è ottenuta da chi è più svantaggiato è possibile proseguire con il test sino a pervenire a chi è più avvantaggiato.

Una società giusta è quindi uno schema di cooperazione stabile nel tempo e modellato da un principio base di reciprocità di cittadinanza.

L'argomento analitico
L'argomento analitico a favore dei due principi di giustizia fa ricorso ad una prospettiva propriamente contrattualistica: i principi di giustizia della concezione rawlsiana devono poter essere oggetto di scelta collettiva unanime da parte di individui che si trovino in una situazione iniziale del tipo della posizione originaria.

Perché sia possibile pervenire a una scelta unanime dei principi di giustizia, è necessario mettere a tacere i nostri interessi e le nostre preferenze personali: la posizione originaria, con il suo velo d'ignoranza, è l'efficace artificio espositivo che mira a ottenere ciò.

Fatti contingenti e particolari devono essere neutralizzati per pervenire al mutuo accordo su quanto è collettivamente giusto, e il mutuo accordo deve dipendere dalla mera razionalità delle parti coinvolte nella procedura di convergenza; la giustizia sociale richiede perciò la virtù dell'imparzialità  (secondo Rawls gli utilitaristi - specialmente quelli "della regola" come John Harsanyi, confondono l'impersonalità con l'imparzialità).

Il velo d'ignoranza, vincolando l'informazione sui fatti particolari, ci induce a valutare comunque impersonalmente i principi di giustizia per regolare la cooperazione nel tempo. La teoria del contratto di Rawls non è una teoria della contrattazione; nella posizione originaria sono da escludere ricorsi a razionalità strategiche per determinare esiti di giustizia.

Le parti non dispongono di informazioni in termini di probabilità soggettiva, sanno di poter essere chiunque nella società, ma non sanno quale probabilità hanno di essere in una qualsiasi delle posizioni rilevanti nella società; il velo d'ignoranza di Rawls è più spesso e fitto di quello richiesto dall'utilitarismo "della preferenza".

Rawls ritiene che sia razionale che le parti in posizione originaria scelgano principi che le assicurino contro il rischio o contro i peggiori esiti della lotteria naturale e sociale. Rawls introduce un'analogia con la regola di scelta del "maximin": le parti scelgono il massimo dei minimi. Al buio sulla nostra sorte sociale è naturale che scegliamo quella distribuzione in cui è migliore la condizione di chi sta peggio. Così una società giusta è una società che mira a migliorare prioritariamente le posizioni relative dei gruppi svantaggiati nella distribuzione di beni sociali primari.

Il contrattualismo come teoria della giustizia si presenta come una proposta di teoria politica normativa centrata sull'egualitarismo democratico.

A differenza dell'utilitarismo che è dottrina morale comprensiva, quella di Rawls è una prospettiva basata sui valori politici fondamentali di una società giusta.

Critiche
In molti concordano con la teoria di Rawls (come fa sostanzialmente anche Amartya Sen), ma, come per tutte le teorie filosofiche, non mancano le critiche (soprattutto dei sostenitori del libertarianismo politico ed economico, come Milton Friedman e Robert Nozick). Tuttavia, Rawls ha dato uno dei maggiori contributi alla filosofia politica del XX secolo, questo lo dimostra il fatto che il suo grande rivale, Robert Nozick, ha ammesso che dopo Rawls i filosofi dovranno necessariamente confrontarsi con la sua teoria.

This motor-car merits considerable attention, as it is very easy to manipulate, and can be turned in a small space. Later on, at the Paris Agricultural Show, it was one of the greatest attractions of the Exhibit of the Société Decauville. Full particulars of the car may be obtained at the offices of The Société Decauville :— 13 Boulevard Malesherbes, Paris.

Checkers & Rally's Launch "Franchisee Friendly" Delivery Program

Burger chain Checkers & Rally's announced via press release a delivery program this week that enables delivery from multiple third parties and is also, according to a company press release, "franchise-friendly."
To service multiple third-party delivery partners at once, and perhaps also to avoid putting franchises through the kind of franchise McSaga McDonald's currently finds itself in, Checkers & Rally's have integrated delivery from five major players into a single point-of-sales system. Customers can order from Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub, and Amazon Restaurants, and that order will appear as any other ticket item in the system.
Enabling third-party delivery with multiple partners can and does often create operational issues for restaurants. There's the pileup of hardware devices that come with using multiple services, often referred to nowadays as "tablet hell." Plus, multiple new ticket streams from these third-party providers means someone has to key in the different orders from different devices, which would slow even the most well-oiled machine down while simultaneously raising the potential for error.
Checkers & Rally's sought to avoid these pains by enlisting digital ordering platform Olo, who raised $18 million earlier this year from Tiger Global Investment. For the Checkers & Rally's partnership, Olo helped implement a system that funnels all orders from third-party services into one channel that goes directly into the main POS system. While this approach isn't exactly new — Chowly and OrderOut both provide this type of integration — Olo's platform is specifically designed for larger chains (Checkers & Rally's has around 900 restaurants currently).
The program also offers a benefit to franchisees in the form of a single point of contact for business. Everything from contract negotiations with the third-party services to tech support to training is addressed through the same contact. I've spoken with enough restaurant operators in the last year to know that getting support from third-party delivery services can make a call to the IRS seem fun.
Rick Silva, President and CEO of Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, said in a press release that the company wants "to provide our franchisee community with a fully integrated platform that would make it easy and profitable to fulfill delivery orders."
That's an important point: delivery is more or less a mandatory part of business nowadays, but the economics of working with third party services don't always make sense for franchises. Paul Flanders, CFO of Burger King franchisee Carrols Restaurant Group, recently noted that "The economics [of third-party delivery] are probably marginal for the [franchisee] operator." Meanwhile, the aforementioned McSaga has McDonald's franchisees questioning some of corporate's decisions around the exclusive partnership McDonald's has with Uber Eats, arguing for a better commission split with third parties, and, in some cases, the ability to work with more services than just Uber Eats. A post by the National Owners Association, a McDonald's franchisee group started late last year, stated that, when it comes to the many changes franchisees have to face, "simplification needs to be priority one."
Simplification appears to be what Checkers & Rally's is after with its newly launched delivery program. Of course, making it easier to take multiple orders from multiple services is only one element of doing cost-effective, operationally efficient delivery. But Checkers & Rally's appears to be making franchisees an integral part of the process when making decisions about delivery, rather than an afterthought you throw technology at.
The numbers will tell how effective this strategy is, and we'll have to wait for those until the next round of earnings calls. In the meantime, the new program will serve both delivery and pickup orders.

A New Model for the U.S.-China Relationship
A distinguished group of American and Chinese experts convened last September for a high-level track II dialogue to discuss a new model for the U.S.-China relationship.
Part of a Series
Idea of the Day
In February 2012, during a Washington, D.C., visit, then Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping raised the prospect of "a new type of relationship between major countries in the 21st century." As State Councilor Dai Bingguo said about the concept, "China and the U.S. must create the possibility that countries with different political institutions, cultural traditions and different economic systems can respect and cooperate with each other."
A year later, President Barak Obama and President Xi Jinping conducted an informal, "shirt-sleeve" summit in southern California to establish a solid working relationship between the two presidents. Then National Security Adviser Tom Donlion described the challenge facing President Obama and President Xi at the summit as "turning the aspiration of charting a new course for our relationship into a reality and to build out … the new model of relations between great powers."

Previous / Bottas couldn't avoid Hungary F1 Turn 1 smash after mistake Next / Autosport Podcast: Hungarian GP review
Guilty rivals should pay for F1 crash damage, says Ferrari
Ferrari believes Formula 1 should consider having teams pay for the repairs of other cars if their driver is found guilty of causing an accident.
Amid calls from Red Bull for a rethink about F1's cost cap regulations in the wake of the huge crash damage bills it has faced in the last two races, Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto has proposed a radical idea.
With Ferrari's own Charles Leclerc having been taken out by Lance Stroll at the first corner of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Binotto said the situation needed looking at.
And while he does not believe an extra cost cap allowance for repairs is the right way forward, he thinks that teams of drivers who have been found fully at fault in accidents could be forced to pay for damage they have caused to rivals.
"I think there is value for discussions in the near future with the other team principals, FIA and F1," said Binotto.
"Obviously if you're not guilty, having such damage in the budget cap is something which is even more of a consequence now.
"Should we add exemptions? I'm not sure that's the solution. I think it may be very difficult to be policed.
"But I think that what we may consider is that if a driver is faulty, the team of the driver should pay at least to the other teams for the damages and repairs. That will make the drivers more responsible."

Binotto's comments come in the wake of a fresh headache for the Red Bull team as it faces expensive crash repairs for the second race running.
Just a fortnight on from the $1.8 million bill that Red Bull faced from Max Verstappen's high-speed British Grand Prix crash with Lewis Hamilton, it endured another bruising encounter at the Hungaroring.
An out-of-control Valtteri Bottas triggered a first corner pile-up in Hungary which left Red Bull duo Verstappen and Sergio Perez with major damage.
While Verstappen was able to continue and eventually finished in the points, Perez ground to a halt shortly afterwards and the team fears his engine is a write-off.
Red Bull team boss Christian Horner thinks it unfair that his outfit now faces another major budget headache to pay for the damage in a campaign where it is already right at the limit of the $145 million budget cap.
He wants the FIA to look into the matter and try to find a way for teams not to be financially penalised when accidents are not their fault.
"It's brutal under the cost cap," said Horner. "I think it re-affirms that when you have an incident that isn't your fault, that we're paying a significant price for that and that's something that isn't budgeted for.
"It is something that I think does need to be looked at in greater detail by the FIA."

Hamilton suspects he may have long COVID after Hungarian GP fatigue
Asked where the money will have to come from to pay for the recent accidents, with Red Bull already having had to make redundancies last winter to ensure it stayed within the budget cap, Horner said sacrifices would have to be made.
"Obviously you've got to look at what's within the cap," he said. "It's spare parts and it's the engines as well, which is particularly concerning. I think we need to revisit this with the FIA because ultimately is something that can affect all teams, not just Red Bull."

Germany Has Gifted Greece the Details of 10,588 Suspected Tax Dodgers
Germany's efforts to encourage Greece on a road to economic reform are continuing, after a German state presented Athens with a list of more than 10,000 suspected tax evaders with billions of euros in Swiss bank accounts.
The federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia said it had given Greek authorities information on suspected tax dodgers to help Athens fulfill its promise to international creditors to crack down on tax evasion. The information concerns 10,588 private individuals and companies from Greece with assets estimated to be worth up to a total of 4 billion Swiss francs ($3.92 billion).
"This is an important step for the Greek government to create more honesty regarding tax in the country," state Finance Minister Norbert Walter-Borjans said in a statement on Wednesday.
Greece's deputy Finance Minister Trifon Alexiadis responded to the offering. "It will not stay in a drawer for three years," he told reporters, after promising to analyze the data. "The list will be evaluated… and we will see what is hidden behind it. All the services of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice will cooperate so that we have results as soon as possible."
Alexiadis also said authorities would ask Switzerland for additional information if needed. "This is a great chance for our community," he said.
Related: Athens Wants Germany to Cough Up $300 Billion — as Repayment for the Nazi Occupation of Greece
Tax evasion costs the struggling Greek economy somewhere between 10 billion euros ($10.61 billion) and 33 billion euros ($35 billion) each year. This is believed to be partly because of poorly trained administrators and inefficient systems, as well as allegations of corruption and cronyism. Greece's large shadow economy also contributes, and Illicit dealings were estimated to make up 27.5 percent of the country's GDP in 2009.
When the new government led by the left-wing Syriza party came to power in January it promised to tackle tax evaders. This aim had to be reaffirmed as a condition for Greece's latest bailout deal, which was worth 86 billion euros ($91 billion) and agreed in late August.
Then, last month, Greece's deputy finance minister Alexiadis — the person in charge of tax revenues — received a bullet in the post. The accompanying letter was signed by a group called "Kokkini Fraxia," which translates as "Red Faction," and read: "Until the hour 0, you and your family will know what fear means."
The state of North Rhine Westphalia has bought data on tax evaders from Swiss authorities since 2010. Sources close to the state prosecutor in Cologne say about 30 legal investigations into international banks and their branches are under way.

200-300k Opening Week Sales Expected For Britney Spears' 'Blackout'
Michelle Nichols of Reuters previewed Britney Spears' new album 'Blackout' ahead of its release next Tuesday (October 30), getting an early read from reviewers on the project. Nichols writes that "some critics who have heard her latest opus say the album's likely success has little to with her abilities and more to do with the producers" and hears the singer could debut at No. 1 with sales of between 200,000 and 300,000. "Most artists are selling less than they did before just because the album market is down," said Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard. "She's not immune to that and she's already seen an erosion of her sales from what she did when she was a teen pop star. Even without the adverse publicity that she's had to weather I would have expected her to have a smaller number." Spears' previous effort, 2003's 'In The Zone', sold 600,000 in its first week out.

May 2015: Meet Arriana
" These seven days erased the last eight years of hardship. "
- Wish mom Arah
Arriana , 10
Large Cell Lymphoma
I wish to go on a Caribbean Cruise
Caribbean , cruise , leukemia , Royal Caribbean
Eloquent and well-mannered Arriana is one of the sweetest young ladies you would ever have the chance to meet. Underneath the petite exterior and beaming smile lies a true warrior; a determined little girl who has taken on battles than someone three times her age. Diagnosed at two-years-old with Crohns Disease, a chronic inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract, meant a childhood of aches, pains and little relief.
If battling Crohn's wasn't enough, Arriana was also diagnosed with cancer at eight-years-old. Not one to back down from a challenge, she fought her large cell lymphoma with grace and dignity. Even when she lost her hair and became too weak to get out of bed, she remained determined to beat cancer and get back to just being a kid again.
During her treatments, Arriana was told she qualified for Make-A-Wish and was told to dream big. She wanted her trip to symbolize a new milestone in her life, one where she felt on top of the world. A cruise to the Caribbean would be just the trip to satisfy her need for adventure and to have all the warmth and sunshine she could take in.
Before leaving for her trip, Arriana and her family were notified that her wish had been funded by two very special people. High school student Hannah had decided to raise funds for Make-A-Wish during her sweet 16 party in lieu of presents. She also happened to be a huge Panthers fan who won a Skype contest with Panthers' player James Anderson. During their Skype call, Hannah told James all about her fundraising effort. Impressed by her philanthropic spirit, James generously offered to match each donation dollar for dollar, so Hannah could reach her goal of fully funding a wish.
Hannah met her goal and was matched with Arriana. To celebrate the hard work and Arriana's upcoming trip, a send-off party was arranged at the Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte at their famed Urban Sip Lounge. Arriana, her family, some classmates and Hannah gathered to celebrate. They were all surprised with a special visit from James Anderson, who flew back to Charlotte specifically to attend her party. James signed autographs, gifted Arriana with some Panthers gear and even got the crowd singing by playing on the piano. All in all, it was a memorable event and this was only the beginning of Arriana's wish!
A few weeks later, Arriana and her family packed their bags and headed to Florida to leave for Arriana's wish trip. For an entire week, she dined like a queen, swam like a fish and got the family time she had wanted for so long. The family explored the Bahamas, St. Maarten and St. Thomas during their ports of call. One memorable moment for the family was hiking to the top of a mountain for the view and the freedom. Arms in the air, eyes closed and wind blowing through her hair, Arriana finally knew what being on top of the world felt like.
The trip brought hope back to the family, especially to Arriana's older brother, Aaron. He refused to leave her side during her treatments to hold her hand and help her not be so afraid. Now cancer-free for two years, Arriana has enjoyed going back to school and getting back to her hobbies, one of which is her newly discovered love of painting. Her family still recounts the trip and is thankful for the impact it has had on their family. Her mom Arah even said, "These seven days erased the last eight years of hardship."

Goriška metodistična evangeličanska cerkev je kraj čaščenja v Gorici. Ustanovljena je bila leta 1864.

Zgodovina
Protestantizem se je v Gorici spet pojavil šele leta 1819, ko je nemški podjetnik Johann Christoph Ritter von Záhony svojo rafinerijo sladkorja, izmed najpomembnejših v Avstriji, preselil v Gorico in pritegnil številne luteranske delavce iz Nemčije. Sčasoma je družina Ritter postala zelo vplivna v mestu, promovirala je njegov gospodarski in družbeno-kulturni razvoj, gradila zavetišča za dekleta, revne in onemogle skupaj s šolami, vrtci in bolnišnicami. Družina je imela v lasti zemljišče na katerem je bila leta 1864 zgrajena ta cerkev, ki je ostala luteranska do konca prve svetovne vojne. Medtem je skupnost proti koncu stoletja sprejela tudi Italijane in Slovence, ki so postajali vse številčnejši. S prvo svetovno vojno so se avstrijski in nemški člani vrnili v svoje rojstne kraje in leta 1922 se je skupnost, sedaj z italijansko večino, pridružila Metodistični škofovski cerkvi ameriškega porekla, od katere je prejela veliko ekonomsko pomoč.

Q: How do you identify the triggers associated with a table in a informix database? How can we identify the triggers associated with a table in a Informix database?

A: The information is in the SysTriggers and SysTrigBody system catalog tables — primarily SysTriggers.  You can find the description of these (and all other system catalog tables) in the Informix Guide to SQL: Reference manual.  You can find that at the Informix 11.70 Info Centre.  In particular, the tabid (from SysTables) identifies the triggers for a table in SysTriggers.

A:  select tabname,a.* from systriggers a, systables b
where a.tabid=b.tabid and tabname="TableName"

or
dbschema -d db -t tablename

A: As Jonathan answered you can use systriggers and other system catalog tables. I used them in my schema reporting utility: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576621-dump-informix-schema-to-text/
This utility can work with Python and ODBC or with Jython and JDBC. It shows info about trigger for every table like:
--- triggers ---
defbookacc  defbookacc_dtrg D
defbookacc  defbookacc_itrg I
defbookacc  defbookacc_utrg U
mc_loadman  loadman_del D

and then shows body for each trigger.

A: --OBTIENE LOS TRIGGERS DE LA TABLA:
SELECT T.tabid, TRIM(T.owner) owner, T.tabname, TR.trigid, TRIM(TR.owner) tr_owner, TR.trigname, TR.event, TR.old, TR.new, TR.mode, TRIM(TR.collation) collation,
TB.datakey, TB.seqno, TB.data
FROM systables T, systriggers TR, systrigbody TB
WHERE T.tabname = 'table_name' AND TR.tabid = T.tabid AND TB.trigid = TR.trigid AND TB.datakey IN ('D', 'A')
ORDER BY TB.trigid, TB.datakey DESC, TB.seqno ASC;

--Event: type of triggering event: D = Delete trigger, I = Insert trigger ,U = Update trigger ,S = Select trigger , d = INSTEAD OF Delete trigger , i = INSTEAD OF Insert trigger ,u = INSTEAD OF Update trigger (IDS)
--Old: Name of value before update.
--New: Name of value after update.
--DataKey: Code specifying the type of data: A = ASCII text for the body, triggered actions, B = Linearized code for the body, D = English text for the header, trigger definition, H = Linearized code for the header, S = Linearized code for the symbol table.

Full report on UEC ready by July, says Maszlee
Published on: Friday, March 22, 2019
KUALA LUMPUR: The full report on a policy study of the recognition of the Unified Examination Certificate (UEC) will be completed in July before it is tabled to the Cabinet.
Education Minister Dr Maszlee Malik said the study which began in October last year contained the outcome of all discussions from various aspects including economics, social and education.
"Any proposal made to the government must be studied comprehensively, taking into consideration the views of parties from various fields and cannot be made in a hurry," he said in a press conference to introduce the UEC policy team here Thursday.
The team is lead by the founder of the Centre for the Study and Documentation of Traditional Malay Performances (Pusaka) Eddin Khoo Bu Eng as well as members of the Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) Mohamad Raimi Ab Rahim and president of the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce Datuk Tan Yew Sing.
Maszlee said so far, the team had conducted 14 interview sessions involving 34 slots with personalities and organisations, and the information-gathering process was still on-going.
He was confident that the outcome of the study would give a more comprehensive, clear and unbiased view of the situation.
The UEC is the unified examination for Independent Chinese Secondary Schools which does not follow the national education system.
The recognition for the UEC was one of the promises made in the Pakatan Harapan Manifesto in the 14th General Election. – Bernama

This page explains some of the tags that may not be self-evident. Please add to this page if you create a new tag that is non-obvious.
AC: Artificial Consciousness. All will also have the Synthetic tag. Not all machine intelligences are considered conscious or aware, those with the AC tag are definitely self-aware.
Academy: Someone who is primarily known for their presence at the Academy in northern Wisconsin Sector. Members of ASH have mostly been to the Academy but generally lack this tag.
Aesir: A Pureblood of Norse or Teutonic extraction.
Alien: Someone from the main reality, but another planet.
Anchor: Someone who acts as a sort of antibody for reality, reinforcing natural law and shutting down supernatural powers. Note that the majority of Anchors were killed during the Pyramid Scheme, but the "dead" tag is only applied for those known for certain to have been killed.
ASH: Member of the Academy of Super-Heroes. Usually means the Fourth Age iteration.
Carny: Member of a "Crime Circus", of which there may be several in existence.
CBI: Combine Bureau of Investigation, successor to the FBI and its equivalent organizations in the other member states of the North American Combine. Responsible for crimes that cross sector or state boundaries, among other things.
Child: Generally refers to a character who was born in the 2020s, not just any non-adult character.
China: Someone mainly associated with some part of the People's Republic of China or its successor states (Central Asian Confederation, SEATO). Will not be applied to characters who are simply of Chinese ethnicity or birth.
Codename: This entry is either just about a codename, or is about a character who mainly goes by their codename.
CoH: This character is one of the refugees from the collapsed City of Heroes reality, or someone left behind there (and will also have the Outsider tag). This is distinct from "native" ASH Universe characters who also have City of Heroes versions, like Doctor Developer or TerraStar.
Conclave: The Anchorite Conclave, a group of Anchors who tried to manipulate world politics and economy in the early 21st Century before being broken by the Ankh Killer and finally destroyed during the Pyramid Scheme.
CSV: Member of the Conclave of Super-Villains. Usually means the Fourth Age iteration.
Cybernostra: A cross between a paragang and an old-style crime family. Most of the higher ranks are cyborgs, and all of the top leadership is. Some characters are more paragang-ish than others, and get that tag too.
Cyborg: Self-explanatory. Noteworthy because of Planetary Confederation law regarding cyborgs (they're essentially property).
Dead: This character is either dead, presumed dead, or has either been dead or been thought dead at some point. It ain't nohow permanent. Also includes unliving things that have been destroyed or presumed destroyed, but only if they were unique or if all samples have been destroyed.
Demon: One who once was a Pureblood, but lost most of their power in the eternal wars of the gods. Still vastly powerful by human standards, but no longer on the same plane as Purebloods. This is a "technical" definition, many entities called demons will not have this tag.
DSHA: Department of Super-Human Affairs (sometimes listed as Activities), a Combine governmental organization. Much of their enforcement responsibility was ceded to STRAFE.
Egypt: Linked to mythical Egypt.
ElDorado: The hidden city of El Dorado under the Amazon Basin. Those with this tag are either from El Dorado, or have ties there.
EUG: Eurasian Union Gendarmerie, the semi-military police that have union-wide authority.
EUROPA: Eurasian Union Ruling Order Paranormal Authority. The EU's equivalent of ASH.
Extra: This character is, at least at the time of their entry being made, a very minor character. Named and maybe even given a little fleshing out, but ultimately a bit player. The dividing line between extra and lead player is fuzzy. An extra is about as unimportant as you can get and still have an entry…although an interesting enough extra might get promoted later on. If you have both the dead and extra tags, you're probably not coming back, except maybe with the zombie tag.
Family: This tags entries that track multiple members of a given family or clan. Not to be confused with The Family.
FirstAge: Character was active in the First Heroic Age (1938-1947, roughly).
Future: Character is from a possible future. Or a no-longer-possible one.
Gadgeteer: Anyone who can create supertech, whether it's hardware or software. As long as it's more science-flavored than magic-flavored. Usually describes hardware types, but not always. Does not apply to normals, unless they have access to advanced alien technology or have some way to manipulate pre-existing supertech.
Gestalt: A character who is the fusion of two or more people, like Aaron Zander (after ASH #9) or The Family.
Greek: Not nationality per se, rather this character has some relation to Greek or Greco-Roman Myth, whether they're a Pureblood "god" or just a creature like Peter the Satyr.
GWC*: Galactic Warrior Corps, the "space police" of the setting.
Hangman: One of the cybernetically-enhanced enforcers of order in Rex Umbrae's Manhattan. They use similar technology to the Cybernostra, but prefer subtlety over flash, and do not buy into the syncretic mecha-Catholicism of the Cybernostra.
I5: Either a member of the Impossible Five or of one of their "franchise" teams.
Instructor: Usually found in conjunction with "Academy", but not always.
ISF: Imperial Santari Fleet. From the possible future of Spear-Carriers, this character is a member of the Santari fleet.
Kaiju: Giant monster.
Khadam: Associated with the government of Khadam, as opposed to just living there (i.e. not all CSV members would be tagged Khadam).
Legacy: A codename that has been passed from person to person, or a character who is specifically picking up the legacy of a predecessor.
Mage: Someone with a versatile and mystical talent for manipulating reality, as opposed to more narrowly-focused supernaturals. The magic-flavored counterpart to Gadgeteer.
Married: The character is married to another character who has a listing.
Marshal: A North American Combine Marshal. The Marshals are a layer of law enforcement between normal human police and ASH, and many Academy graduates who aren't picked for ASH become Marshals.
Media: A reporter, journalist, network personality or other person involved in the media. This also includes professional athletes and entertainers.
Medical: A medical doctor or nurse.
MetaPsych: An organization dedicated to studying psionic powers. Not all telepaths are members, but it's the main source for training them. Mostly a Combine outfit, but they get people from the EU as well.
NYPD: New York Police Department.
OnyxEye: Member of the Onyx Eye Tong, a Chinese crime family. Only Chinese are full members, but useful paranormals may be hired.
Outsider: From another reality, or has powers that let them spent a lot of time in other realities.
Paraball: Baseball with superpowers. A league was founded in the early 2020s in an attempt to find a more positive outlet for superhumans who might otherwise drift into crime.
Paragang: A member of one of Manhattan's Paragangs, Europe's Vogue Ghoul packs or the Japanese Otakuza (the Sentai members will get their own tag to separate them from the rank and file).
Police: Any police officer not associated with the Marshals, NYPD, EUG or other organization that gets its own tag.
Politician: Someone whose main "thing" is politics.
PowerArmor: This character makes extensive use of high tech (alien or supertech) armor, at least for protection if nothing else.
Pureblood: Also known as "small g gods", those with the strongest expression of the Magene. Their origins are often lost to time, as they are all Outsiders and have had their pasts wiped clean by multiple cross-temporal struggles.
Raiders: A Third Age superhero team based in Columbus OH.
Revanche: A short-lived team assembled by Kasca Kas'r.
RoadRager: Member of a paragang auxiliary devoted to high speed street racing.
SecondAge: The character was active in the Second Heroic Age (1967-1976, roughtly).
Sentai: The character is one of the colorfully garbed superhuman members of the Otakuza, the bushikamen sentai. They balance on the edge between criminal and hero.
Solo-Hero and Solo-Villain: Not a team player. Just to let people find heroes and villains that aren't part of teams or gangs.
Starname: Pranir true names are not pronounceable by most other races, so they adopt descriptive names for use offworld. A Starname has to be earned, and can be unflattering if the Pranir in question is a screwup.
Starship: A named spaceship. Mostly found in the 3732 era.
STRAFE: Superhuman Tactical Resources and Affiliated Field Experts. A mix of more "subtle" superheroes and highly trained normal agents. A mainly Combine organization, but with their mandate from the United World they have become steadily more cosmopolitan. Not to be confused with the Third Age hero and villain named Strafe.
Synthetic: A created being of some sort, whether made by genetics, magic, computer code or cybernetics.
Team: This entry is for a team or other fairly cohesive organization. Not all organizations/affiliations count as teams. For instance, individual paragangs do not get entries.
Telepath: Has some sort of psionic ability, although it may only be empathic in nature.
ThirdAge: Character was active during the Third Heroic Age (1986-1998, roughly).
UWF: United Worlds Fleet. A member of the military arm of the United Worlds in the Spear-Carriers future.
Vehicle: A vehicle that is not a starship. We're going to try to limit this to vehicles that might recur (i.e. the cars seen in the Prix Ultime are unlikely to appear again, so they probably won't get entries).
Venus: The character has made Venus their primary base of operations. Usually after the terraforming.
Zombie: Animated corpse, usually associated with the New York Macoute.

Ever since I was a little kid I have been using chopsticks and eating raw fish. It's just the sort of family I grew up in. My mother is a talented cook and was always trying new types of food. Japanese was never one of her priorities, although she did make awesome okonomiyakis and mochi.
I'll never forget when I first tried actual Japanese food. I was probably seven or so, and my dad had taken me and my sisters out to what at the time was the only Japanese restaurant in our area, about an hour away from us. I was super excited, because I loved manga and pokemon, and was pumped to eat food from the same country. I picked tempura because it looked so delicious in the picture on the menu. When I bit into it, I realized that it was like nothing I had ever eaten before, even something as familiar as breaded and deep-fried shrimp. The batter was so crisp, the shrimp perfectly tender and the sauce (I usually hated sauce) was light and tangy, perfectly complementing the shrimp. I ate two giant shrimp before my stomach started to hurt, not an uncommon experience, because I have always had a very sensitive stomach.
"My tummy hurts," I said to my sister.
Instantly I felt fine. A miracle! A perfectly balanced meal.
Ever since then, I have loved going out to eat Japanese. I love sushi, I love tempura, I love donburi, I love miso. As soon my first friend got their drivers license I recruited them to drive me the hour long trip to get my fix.
I love to cook, but it took me a while to decide to teach myself how to cook Japanese food. I stared a few years ago with the book Just Bento by Makiko Itoh, making bento boxes everyday for my sister and myself. I discovered that making the food is almost as satisfying and enjoyable as eating it. It's a lot of work, and I live in an area where I would have to drive three hours to get to the nearest Asian food market, so a lot of the ingredients are hard to find. I always want to dedicate more time to this passion of mine, especially since I'm learning Japanese now! So the other night I was making udon curry and I suddenly had an inspired thought. I should start a blog about my journey of learning the art of Japanese cooking.
So here I am. First entry of many.
