UDFRegistration is an interface to the session-scoped FunctionRegistry to register user-defined functions (UDFs) and user-defined aggregate functions (UDAFs).
UDFRegistration is available using SparkSession.
UDFRegistration takes a FunctionRegistry when created.
UDFRegistration is created exclusively for SessionState.
register registers a UserDefinedAggregateFunction under name with FunctionRegistry.
register creates a ScalaUDAF internally to register a UDAF.
register gives the input udaf aggregate function back after the function has been registered with FunctionRegistry.

Award for Doom '94 translation
Posted Under: News, Wrecking Ball Press
The translator of Jānis Joņevs Doom 94, published by Wrecking Ball Press, has received the 2019 Lillian Fairchild Award for her translation of the Latvian novel.
Kaija Straumanis, editorial director at the University of Rochester's Open Letter Books, received the award in March.
At the presentation ceremony, Rosemary Kegl, chair of Rochester's Department of English, said the translation is a "remarkable artistic accomplishment," adding "Her prose is equal to the immediacy of the voices of our protagonist and his new friends. The subtle shifts in perspective and tone that locate them within larger and longer personal and historical acts of rebelling, faltering, remembering, and forgetting."
This is the first time in more than 80 years that the Fairchild Award has been presented to a literary translator. Previous winners have included visual artists, writers, choreographers, and composers.
As reported on the University of Rochester website, Kaija Straumanis said: "I wasn't expecting to win. It's almost surreal that I saw my advisor, Jennifer Grotz, receive the award several years ago, and now it's my turn. By making people aware of translation, we're bringing world voices into English and making world literature accessible."
She added: "This is a book that spoke to a lot of people. I wanted this to resonate with people who were in the same generation as the author, in the States or around the world."
Doom 94 was Jonevs' debut novel, published first as Jelgava 94 in Latvia in 2013, and quickly proved to be a big hit and bestseller. Translated into 11 languages previously, Wrecking Ball Press presented it for the first time in English.
The story is set in the 1990s in the Latvian city of Jelgava and looks at the burgeoning craze during this decade for the alternative culture of heavy metal music. Jonevs takes the reader deep inside the world of music, combining the intimate diary of a youngster trying to find himself by joining a subculture, as well as a skilful, detailed, and almost documentary-like depiction of the beginnings of the second independence of Latvia–where Jonevs is the first writer to stir up memories of this period through a fully-fledged literary depiction.

Have you noticed that there is a team that is using the unfamiliar abbreviation ROC at the Olympics in Tokyo, Japan and you were wondering what it is?
Well, you are not alone. We took time to find out and here is what it stands for. It stands for Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and it's a diversion that allows Russian athletes to compete in the Olympics while their country is banned from the Games because of its doping scandal.
In 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency banned Russia from all international sporting competitions, including the Olympics, for four years over doping non-compliance.
The punishment was related to inconsistencies in data retrieved by WADA in January 2019 from the Moscow lab at the center of a 2016 report that uncovered a widespread and sophisticated state-sponsored sports doping network. WADA's compliance review committee suggested sanctions because the Russian Anti-Doping Agency failed to fully cooperate during probes into the country's sports.
Last year, the Court of Arbitration for Sport cut Russia's ban in half to two years following an appeal. The ban now ends December 16, 2022. Until then, Russian athletes are not able to compete under their country's name, flag and national anthem.
Under the ban, Russian athletes can still play as neutral athletes – which means they do not technically represent a specific country -if they can prove they had no link to the doping scandal.
More than 300 athletes are doing that at the Tokyo Olympics.
The team still bears the country's colors of white, blue and red, and features athletes who have represented Russia in previous Olympics.
But instead of Russia's flag, the team's flag features its colors in an Olympic flame placed above the five Olympic rings. If an athlete wins the gold, Pyotr Tchaikovsky's "Piano Concerto No. 1" will be played instead of the Russian national anthem.
More than 100 Russian athletes were banned from the 2016 Rio Olympics, which came shortly after the report on state-sponsored doping.
The current ban also means Russia can't be represented as a country at the 2022 World Cup or the 2022 Winter Olympics, so Russia's flag and anthem won't be at the Olympics until the 2024 games in Paris.

TKO is continuing a trail realignment of Williams Creek Horseshoe from an old logging road, a trail that loops off the Banks-Vernonia State Trail and reaches beautiful creek views within Stub Stewart State Park. This will be a follow up to complete the trail project and work on some structure building of 2 turnpikes. Turnpikes are trail structures that kind of act like an earthen boardwalk, raising the trail out of a mucky spot and still allowing water to continue to flow beneath. Come join us to help build these log structures.
You should expect to work rain or shine building new trail. Because of the nature of this work party we will be spending much of the day off the trail on steep hillsides. Warm weather should be expected, so participants will be taking extra breaks to hydrate!

Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted fast, Ethereum requests could improve drastically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
You've probably seen this often where you usually distribute the good word about crypto. It's not unpredictable? What happens when the price crashes? sofar, many POS devices offers free conversion of fiat, improving some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people is likely to be reluctant to put on any. We must find a method to combat the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not crucial to understand how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it is simply vital that you understand that there is a process of mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we understand them today where Governments and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing thus, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining software, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately links in families and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to move messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet together these companies decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it fixed. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these problems are worked out.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centered company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present inherent difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
A lot of people choose to use a money deflation, notably those who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Monetary privacy, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign funding. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; If you are living paycheck to paycheck, it would happen included in your wealth, with the remainder allowed for other currencies.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers claim that there's real worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth climbs due to computing power, that is, is the lone way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some sort of benefit so that you can ensure the deficit. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The blockchain is where the public record of trades resides.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be merely that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. Additionally it is possible that the regulators simply do not comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act.
In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might also be traded as a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce this kind of electronic money is not handled with a key banking system and is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Because there are always a restricted variety of goods, this coinis price is founded on market forces, allowing homeowners to business over cryptocurrency transactions.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: because of the nature of the protocol where it is transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. After you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything short term wherever your visitors can challenge or demand a discounts, or use dishonest sleight of hand. In practice, many traders would be a good idea to utilize a payment processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto currency orders, you have to be sure that safety is hard. With any form of crypto currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your individual keys and so take your money. However, you most likely can never get it back. It's quite crucial for you really to adopt some very good safe and secure procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from most of these bad activities.
Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there's no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much greater possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, depending on the number of shares won.
If you are considering going it alone, it's worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to fully block the reward.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of worth, but there isn't any real palpable kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.

Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. As such, it really is more resistant to wild inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be attained by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You'dn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fastened by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous.
Since among the oldest forms of making money is in money lending, it's a fact that one can do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you are required fill in a captcha after a certain time period and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they don't have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to produce a fair investment strategy.
This mining activity validates and records the trades across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it is not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but they also participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be potentially used within an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.

It is certainly possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities regardless of marketplace behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be acceptable.

Talking of the needs and purposes for which one would think of breast augmentation, some of the most common and notable ones are such as in those cases where you want to restore the size and shape of the breasts after surgery, after breast feeding, weight loss, pregnancy, for the enlargement of the breasts that happen to be naturally small and as well for those of us looking forward to restore the symmetry in breasts where they happen to be lacking symmetry. The breast surgeries often take two main forms and these are the cosmetic and the reconstructive surgeries. The reconstructive one is often done for medical reasons such as part of the treatments for breast cancer cases. As for the cosmetic surgeries, it is often the case that these are performed for cosmetic reasons and these are purely for no medical reasons.
And looking at these two, you will realize that breast augmentation by its very nature and purpose will fall under the cosmetic breast surgeries. And as a fact, there are a number of benefits that come from breast augmentation procedures. One of the greatest benefits that has been seen with these surgeries is the boost that they allow women enjoy in their self esteem. Over and above these, breast augmentation procedures happen to be such that as well augment the feelings of contentment when looking at their sexuality as women.

Between the Devil and Ian Eversea Quotes
Lavender? He went still. Perhaps he had died, and heaven—some might argue that heaven wouldn't have been his destination, but he rather trusted the Creator to sort it all out fairly—smelled of lavender. He hoped not. His idea of heaven smelled of horses and brandy and the sea air exhaling rhythmically over the Sussex Downs and the back of Louisa Porter's neck. He breathed in again, and it was still there: a single note of lavender, soft and faintly astringent amidst all the darker smells, as incongruous as a petal atop charred ruins. And unless a hothouse bouquet had been sent to wherever he was in honor of his arrival… There was a woman in the room with him. Seconds later, like a conjurer concluding a trick, she whipped the sack from his head.

There had been counts in his life before. Counts before dueling pistols were fired. Counts before footraces and horse races. Counts in his head to postpone his release while some beautiful woman lay beneath him.
She didn't want to need anything, particularly something—or someone—she quite simply couldn't have. Too much had been taken from her already, and she'd had enough of accommodating pain, of straightening her spine, of soldiering on

Does she make you laugh?" He thought about this. "She laughs a good deal when I'm about," he allowed. Did Colin Eversea really want to be laughed at rather than with his entire life? He was the most maddening person she'd ever met, but his humor contained angles; he used it both to deflect and persuade. And if one could see around it, one would see into vulnerability.
Rebecca stared back at him, still dazed. She'd forgotten how to speak; it seemed an unimportant skill, anyhow, when such kisses were to be had, when a whole world could be made from a kiss.

It hurt. And just as there seemed to be no end in the kinds of pleasure he could give or to the ways in which she loved him, and because of this, no end to the way he could hurt her, again and again and again.
How the Marquess Was Won Quotes
she wondered if seeds ever resented the sun, knowing it would shine with no quarter and give them no choice but to push their heads up out of the safety of the hard, hard ground and bloom.
You ought to choose fewer words that contain S for the time being. You are spitting all over me.
Should I apologize for my species for trotting out the same compliment again and again? Isn't it better than having none at all?""When you hear the same one again and again, it's difficult not to come to the conclusion that it's the only thing of note about one's person.
Be kind to the spider. It's simply working hard to be itself. And don't tell the maids,
A few deep breaths would take care of that. She studied the horse and took deep breaths.
there was a sudden easing in him, as if someone had finally played a note that harmonized with the one he sounded every day.
He wasn't at all what she expected. No: this wasn't true. He was everything she'd expected from everything she'd read about him—he was irritating, frivolous, arrogant, disconcertingly charming. It was just that she would not have suspected his intelligence had depth, that his wit was in part defense, that his charm was a result of, in part, startlingly acute perception and even…grace.
And home, Elise, is anywhere love is. Any you are my love.
It Started With a Scandal Quotes
But there really was no point in asking. She read things, she knew things, and out they came, little surprises. It was strangely like unwrapping little gifts, not all of which he appreciated. She clung to facts and information, like flotsam in a shipwreck. They'd saved her.
Nonchalance, she could have told Argosy, does not pay.
the brightening he detected in the room around him might just be the whites of dozens of eyes as they widened [upon him]
Murmured to him nonsense, which is the language of love,
He just hadn't expected to have his equilibrium roughly jostled by a pair of blue eyes this evening. He couldn't remember ever seeing eyes quite that color before. So achingly lovely they made him restless. He felt oddly as though he needed to do something about them.
The Legend of Lyon Redmond Quotes
Something was stirring in him, though; a bud of comprehension that could very well bloom into forgiveness if left unchecked.

Such a fragile way to sustain a whole life: on a web one weaves for oneself.

It Happened One Midnight Quotes
He was close enough now to see that her profile was designed to do dramatic things to hearts: stop them, steal them, break them.
Beauty Quotes / Beautiful Quotes Like No Other Lover Quotes Profile Quotes
He was a relentlessly cheerful presence, talked only of himself but so good-naturedly that she indulged him. He certainly laughed a good deal. Something about his laugh made her feel more alone than if she were standing on a high cliff at the end of the world, shouting her name into the void to hear it echo back at her.
Because he spoke to her the way no one else had ever spoken to her, which meant he saw her in a way no one else saw her.
He wanted to be a man she admired. The way he admired her. He wanted her to think of him as brave. He wanted to be better because of her, and for her.He was better because of her. She'd changed him irrevocably.
This man offered her forever.And if Prescott had asked a month ago...If he'd asked the day before she'd encountered Jonathan Redmond at midnight outside the Duke of Greyfolk's house...Ah, but she was a different woman now. One kiss had changed that.And a ballroom orgasm.
Colin could not recall a single women ever regarding him with anything so neutral as detachment.It suddenly seemed important to ascertain if she was pretty, in the same way it was necessary to know whether a man was armed.
Colin Quotes

Humor Quotes
You believed in me,' he said slowly. 'You trusted me.''Of course I did. That, and I love you more than life itself.'She saw her words enter him like cupid's arrow. He closed his eyes swiftly, as if bracing against an onslaught of emotion. He mouthed something that might have been 'Hallelujah.'Then he opened them again, as if he couldn't bear not to see her in the aftermath of those words.'Say it again.''I love you.' Those magical powerful words that she never dreamed she'd be able to say to anyone.And look, look what it did to Jonathan Redmond's face when she said them. What a humbling power she held.He recovered, and smiled a slow satisfied smile. 'Of course you love me. How could you help it?
She mulled how very Jonathan of him to effortlessly find his way to her when she needed him, labyrinth or no. Just as he'd effortlessly uncovered her secrets. But that was simply because he'd been born knowing the secret to her. He was hers and she was his. Just as there was one key for every lock
A nondescript place, but it had inevitably changed over the years; one of the old oaks had been split by lightning and now lay on its side, and the others had grown into behemoths around their fallen comrade.
The one thing she'd been able to count on her entire life was her cleverness. She was so often right. It was humbling and disorienting to realize that she in truth knew nothing at all. One only ever saw a fraction of someone, whatever it was they chose to show you, and extrapolated a whole person from that. And saw them through a prism of one's own prejudices.
Clever Quotes Prejudice Quotes
And in his weariness, only one word came to Jonathan, like a prayer. Tommy, he thought, invoking what was good and real. Tommy. The word for love in his world right now. Tommy. And he supposed the word that occurred to you in your darkest moments...well, that word meant love. That was perhaps how you knew. And perhaps that was the purpose of dark moments.
Lovely as a spring day but not the sort to make one envious, any more than one would envy the sun its ability to shine.
Perhaps men like the Everseas were commonplace here in England. Perhaps finding a beautiful titled husband would be as simple as shaking an apple from a tree.

Media Mix: Post Police Bureau Chief Jamie Schram Heading Uptown
New York Post Police Bureau Chief Jamie Schram is moving back to New Corps headquarters as an investigative reporter focused on national and local police stories.
By Kara Bloomgarden-Smoke • 07/31/14 12:03pm
New York Post police bureau chief Jamie Schram is moving back to News Corp headquarters as an investigative reporter at the Post, focusing on national and local police stories, a newsroom source told the Observer. Mr. Schram, a veteran crime reporter at the Post, became the police bureau chief in January 2011. Shawn Cohen, senior crime reporter for The Journal News in Westchester will take over as Mr. Schram's replacement, according to our source.
BuzzFeed is developing a mobile news app that will highlight its serious reporting and is hiring an editor and six editorial staffers for the new venture, which is still in the "embryonic stage" and has no set time frame. "It's going to be one of the most fun jobs in journalism," editor in chief Ben Smith said of the editor position. "It's creating something from scratch." (Ad Age)
The New York Times issued an editor's note in response to allegations that arts reporter Carol Vogel plagiarized from Wikipedia in an article on Italian Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo. "The Inside Art column on July 25, about a planned exhibition of the works of the Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo, started with a description of the artist's life and eccentricities. That passage improperly used specific language and details from a Wikipedia article without attribution; it should not have been published in that form. (Editors learned of the problem after publication from a post on FishbowlNY)" the editor's note reads. But can anything really ease the embarrassment that the paper of record lifted anything from Wikipedia? (The New York Times)
Ann Friedman takes issue with Corey Pein's story in The Baffler earlier this week that argued that digital saavy, entrepreneurial journalism is doomed to fail. "I believe most entrepreneurial journalists when they say they're sincerely interested in both preserving the traditional values of this profession and acknowledging the new ways people find and consume news. I have to, because there's no going back," Ms. Friedman wrote. (Columbia Journalism Review/The Baffler)

CURRENT EVENT | DECEMBER 20, 2019
Debate: Should Police Have Access to Genetic Data?
Genetics Ethics
People who mail their DNA to a genetic testing company typically do not imagine that their data will be viewed by the police. But law enforcement finds genetic databases useful in solving crimes and has asked the courts to give them better access to people's genetic information. Citizens worry that the data they thought would be kept private will be used without their consent. Listen to hear a legal expert discuss the benefits and risks of sharing information with law enforcement and then debate: should police have access to genetic data?
New EU Data Privacy Law Threatens Selfies
A new data protection law in the European Union is designed to preserve citizens' privacy by fining those who use others' personal data without their permission. This rule could cause problems for many who take photos in public places and post them online. According to this law, anyone who appears in a photo, even if it's in the background of a selfie, must agree that the photo can be uploaded to the Internet. This law will likely force photographers to consider their subjects' consent more carefully. Listen to learn more about this new rule.
Smart Devices Are Listening
Voice-activated devices, such as Alexa and Google Home, always have their microphones on. They are passively listening until you say the "wake" word, but people are worried they are listening and recording every single thing that is said. The owners of the devices can go into the app to see a history of everything that is heard by the device. One concern is that this data could be used to look for evidence that could help to prosecute crimes, or be reviewed by the National Security Agency. Listen to this story to hear about the pros and cons of voice-activated devices and their impact on privacy.
How Police Use Social Media
Twitter and Facebook say they are cutting off bulk data access to a firm that scans vast amounts of public social media posts. Critics say the service enables police to conduct invasive surveillance. Others say that social media is a useful tool in investigating crimes. Listen to hear more about this controversy, which includes the issue of protecting civil rights and law enforcement's use of commercial products.
Debate: Data Privacy vs. National Security
After a shooting in San Bernadino, California, a controversy has erupted around national security and data privacy. A federal judge has ordered the technology company Apple to access private data on the shooter's cell phone. Apple has refused to comply. While the government feels that accessing this data is crucial for national security, Apple believes that doing so would be an invasion of privacy. The results of the case could impact the ways that phones are designed in the future. Listen to the story and debate with your students the issue of personal privacy versus national security.
Update: The FBI dropped its case against Apple to require them to unlock the iphone because it was able to use a third party to access the data on the phone.


Kodascope is a name created by Eastman Kodak Company for the projector it placed on the market in 1923 as part of the first 16mm motion picture equipment. The original Kodascope was part of an outfit that included the Cine-Kodak camera, tripod, Kodascope projector, projection screen, and film splicer, all of which sold together for $335. By 1924, Victor Animatograph Corporation and Bell and Howell had placed 16mm projectors on the market, so Kodak eliminated the requirement to purchase the equipment as a complete outfit and sold the projector separately. Kodascope was retained as the primary marketing name for 16mm projectors throughout their production life at Kodak. It was also used to name Kodak's film rental library system. Kodascope Library, which operated from 1924 to 1939, and offered both educational and commercially released films on 16mm film and, from 1932, on 8mm film.

31ha of forest and woodland between Dromedary and Bridgewater in the lower Derwent Valley (a 20min drive north of the Hobart CBD). The property offers spectacular views of the Derwent River, Mt Dromedary and surrounding forested ridges. It also offers a great house site and could accommodate a range of recreational and small-scale agricultural or pastoral pursuits.
Area: 31.32ha (77ac)
Conservation Values
The Risdon Peppermint property adjoins an existing private reserve and has significant conservation values, including:
an outlying population of Risdon Peppermint, which is listed as both a rare species and a rare vegetation community under Tasmanian legislation (as an outlying population it is also considered to be genetically significant);
a small area of vulnerable Tasmanian blue gum forest; and
habitat for several threatened fauna species, including the swift parrot, Eastern Barred Bandicoot and White-bellied Sea Eagle.
Protecting the Conservation Values
To provide permanent protection for the conservation values on the property, the TLC has registered a Conservation Covenant against the title of the land. Land in two separate parts of the property are excluded from the covenant to allow for use and development by future owners:
an area in the north-east corner with frontage to Cobbs Hill Rd offers spectacular views and could support small-scale agricultural or pastoral activities; and
an area in the south-east corner could also support small-scale agricultural or pastoral activities.
Within these areas future owners can clear vegetation, construct a home and undertake all the usual activities associated with residential use (subject to Council approval where required). Elsewhere on the property the covenant restricts any activities that may degrade the conservation values of the land, but still allows for essential management activities (such as maintenance of tracks and fences) and for appropriate recreational activities (eg walking and walking tracks).
Legal access to the property is provided via direct frontage to Cobbs Hill Rd. The Reserve contains or is serviced by the following infrastructure.
Shops, schools and community services are available within 2km of the property.
There is a vehicular track running from Cobbs Hill Rd to a cleared house site in the north east corner of the property. There are several other vehicular tracks on the property that provide good access to boundaries and also have potential use as fire-breaks.
Reticulated water runs close to the entrance off Cobbs Hill Rd on the northern boundary and is also available along the southern boundary.
Overhead power lines run along Cobbs Hill Rd at the northern boundary.
The property boundary is fenced on the northern, eastern and southern boundaries. The un-fenced western boundary adjoins an existing private reserve on the neighbouring property.
Internal fencing delineates several small paddocks in the north-eastern and south-eastern corners of the property.
There are four dams of varying scales on the property.
There are two small sheds associated with the paddocks in the south eastern corner.
This property was purchased under the TLC Revolving Fund. Funding for the purchase was provided by the Australian Government through the Forest Conservation Fund (a programme arising out of the Tasmanian Community Forest Agreement). Proceeds from the sale of this property will be returned to the Revolving Fund.


John Henry Newman continues in The Dream of Gerontius with the temptation of the soul by demons.
And to that deadliest foe unlock'd thy heart.
must aspire to be saints from love of God more than from dread of hell.
Have a Blessed and Fruitful New Year, Father Juan! Thank you for your continuous inspirations!
The demons will certainly try to get us until the end, but hopefully we have our good Guardian Angel at our side! It is also a good practice to say everyday the old prayer:"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I give you my heart and my soul. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, assist me in my last agony. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, May I sleep and take my rest in peace with you. Amen.


A Shorten Labor Government will invest $25 million to rejuvenate Great Keppel Island, helping to grow tourism, create jobs and deliver an $80-million-a-year boost to the region's economy.
Great Keppel has amazing, untapped tourism potential but it is held back by a lack of basic infrastructure, including drinking water and a reliable power supply.
Federal Labor's investment – which matches the Queensland Government's investment – will deliver new infrastructure for permanent and reliable electricity and water supply on the Island.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten will visit Great Keppel Island on Wednesday morning to make the announcement.
"I'm taking a hands-on approach to job creation in Central Queensland," Mr Shorten said.
"This is a beautiful part of Queensland with massive potential. You just need a government in Canberra that listens and acts.
Shadow Minister for Regional Services Stephen Jones said water quality and reliable power supply presents significant challenges for island businesses and residents.
"The island relies on diesel-powered generators as the main source of power, and access to drinking water is through rainwater harvesting or bottled water from the mainland. This is costly and time consuming, and is holding Great Keppel back," Mr Jones said.
Shadow Minister for Tourism Anthony Albanese said with improved infrastructure, it is expected that the island will accommodate about 860,000 visitors, workers and residents a year, and contribute more $83 million per annum to the local economy.
"We know tourism operators need reliable water and power, and the lack of these basic services is a barrier to investment. Labor's commitment will allow for sustainable development, meaning more visitors, more jobs and more money going to local businesses," Mr Albanese said.
Labor Candidate for Capricornia Russell Robertson welcomed Labor's investment to rejuvenate Great Keppel Island.
"This is a great day for the Capricorn Coast. I've been working for months to secure this investment for our region, and now we know a Shorten Labor Government will deliver it," Mr Robertson said.
"I've been calling on both Bill Shorten and Scott Morrison to make this commitment, but Bill is the only one who has listened.
"Michelle Landry has been too caught up in the chaos in Canberra to secure this funding. She's forgotten Great Keppel Island exists at all.
"Great Keppel is the most beautiful on the Great Barrier Reef. Everyone knows that infrastructure funding for Great Keppel Island will mean more visitors, more jobs and more money going into our local economy.
Mr Shorten said only Labor is committed to rejuvenating Great Keppel Island.
"I believe in a fair go for all Australians, and that means a fair go for Central Queenslanders.

Guess x J Balvin Returns with Colorful Spring Collection
By Liz Warren
Guess x J Balvin Colores
Guess and global music superstar J Balvin teamed on a second capsule collection. This time, it's packed with color and personality that reflect both the singer's Colombia hometown of Medellín and his upcoming album.

CEO Kristin Savilia on Joor Passport Expansion and a Promising Year Ahead
After the widespread success of their first collaboration, Guess and Balvin were inspired to go back to the drawing board and provide even more offerings. The Guess x J Balvin Colores Spring 2020 collection is available for men, women and children, and captures all of the vibrant colors of the South American city.
The collection infuses bright red, yellow, green, blue and purple tones into each piece. Standout looks include a women's matching white denim set with a cropped denim jacket and high-waisted denim shorts covered in colorful logos. The same print is seen in a men's version of the set, featuring a denim Trucker jacket and jeans. The collection also includes a long-sleeved T-shirt with tie-dye elements and a matching bucket hat emblazoned with the Guess logo.
"What initially started as a collection has turned into year-round energy," Nicolai Marciano, Guess' director of brand partnerships, said. "We organically elevated the partnership to wardrobe his whole tour and dancers, large festival merchandise moments, amongst other one-off opportunities. With this new collection, Colores, we really pushed ourselves collectively and we're excited to unveil our most robust collection for men, women and kids. Balvin's passion and commitment as a partner is the ideal space to create within."
Shot in Medellín, the campaign features Balvin and models Jamea Byrd and Sara Orrego. The shoot was directed by Marciano, styled by DJ and model Sita Abellan, and photographed by Tatiana Gerusova.
Balvin, known as "reggaeton's global ambassador," made sure the collection reflects the mood of his upcoming album, "Colores," dropping in March. In early 2019, Guess and Balvin collaborated on a "Vibras" collection named after his most recent album at the time. The campaign fell under scrutiny later that year when a mural artist sued Guess after claiming the brand used imagery of his Miami artwork without his permission.
Shoppers can gain early access to the Guess x J Balvin Colores collection at popup experiences in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and New York, March 20-22. The full Guess x J Balvin Colores collection will be available in Guess stores and on its website on March 27.

Political parties must be clear on oil spending priorities – former PIAC chair
SOURCE: | Editor
AUTHOR: Editor
A former Chairman of the Public Interest and Accountability Committee (PIAC), Major (rtd) Daniel Ablorh-Quarcoo has said political parties contesting elections must present a clear outline of the areas they intend to invest oil revenues.
He said the parties must, however, ensure fiscal discipline and stick to those clearly outlined areas.
Major (rtd) Ablorh-Quarcoo told the GRAPHIC BUSINESS that although the Petroleum Revenue Management Act(PRMA ) (Act) 815 stipulates that oil revenues are to be spent on four priority areas, the current trend is to spread thinly over so many areas, creating room for mismanagement.
"At the end of the day, we are looking at the revenue and how it has been utilised. What our government has been doing over the years, is to go out and spend on things that are not really priorities of the citizens," he said.
He added, "at least I expect political parties which are competing for the mandate of the citizens to come clean on the petroleum revenue spending. The PRMA mandates governments to select four prior areas and not all 12 areas."
Major (rtd) Ablorh-Quarcoo explained, "what we have seen in the past is this, for example, there is an area called capacity building, but it incorporates everything. It is just an omnibus for mismanagement."
Four prior areas were selected to benefit from oil revenues namely, capacity building, agriculture modernisation, amortisation of loans and roads and other infrastructure. Over the years, however, the revenues have been spread thinly over several projects making it difficult for people to ascertain the true impact of oil revenues.
Investing in railway
He said, through the various engagements by PIAC, it was clear that citizens were looking for a clear plan on how to use oil revenues to leave a lasting legacy.
One of such legacies, he mentioned, was the development of a railway system from down South to the North to transport goods and passengers.
He said the need for a railway system ran through suggestions at almost all the public engagements organised by PIAC and it was therefore important for the various political parties to consider it.
Develop vision for oil sector
The Africa Regional Representative of the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI), Mr Samuel Bekoe said it was important to develop a vision for the extractive sector in Ghana as part of the long term development plan and make it politically binding.
"We don't have a vision for the extractive sector, you ask any politician that where do you want to see oil and gas in the next 10 years; there is no answer for you," he said.
He added "we need to draft a vision, make it politically binding, or depoliticise it so that any government that comes will continue with that vision. We need a consensus of the current political parties to build that vision."
Organised by Penplusbytes, the forum brought together representatives of some political parties, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the media to deliberate on the relevance of oil and gas issues in the upcoming elections.
It also sought to set an issue-based agenda for the various political parties to promote an oil and gas campaign agenda and also to promote an informed citizens' engagement on oil and gas issues.
A Resource Person at Penplusbyte, Mr Fred Avornyo said the essence of the forum was to make the 2016 elections an issue based one, driving the oil and gas agenda.
He said on the whole, elections in Ghana had not been issue-based and discussions had almost always been based on the personalities involved in the elections.
This, he said, was largely due to the fact that the electorates did not have full or even partial information on the oil and gas sector to guide their decision making at the polls.
It has been identified that citizens are unable to question and hold politicians accountable during elections on oil and gas issues due to a number of reasons, including the lack of advocacy and media push to promote oil and gas issues in the electoral discourse.
There is also the lack of amplification of political parties policy position on the management of the oil and gas sector and low citizens input to inform electoral decisions across the country.

Owain Doull and Brendan Canty will both have to wait to make their WorldTour debuts with Team Sky and Cannondale-Drapac respectively as the duo were late scratchings from the 2017 Tour Down Under start list. Doull was a DNS at Sunday night's People's Choice Classic while Canty managed to ride and placed 92nd.
Oh my god they signed Kenny!
Team Sky will fly Kenny Elissonde to Adelaide from Brisbane for his Team Sky debut, leaving Chris Froome to train solo before making season debut at next week's Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. The diminutive climber will bolster Team Sky's squad for the race who are backing last year's third place finisher, Sergio Henao to finish the race atop the podium.
Having displayed "flu-like symptoms", Canty was assessed by both the race and team doctors who diagnosed a virus and advised that he should not start the race.
"It's gone from starting a WorldTour race on my 25th birthday to being taken out of the race sick. Obviously, it's disappointing. I spent a fair bit of time preparing for this race, and I think my form's quite good. It's definitely frustrating, but it happens," said Canty who was seventh at the Australian road national championships last weekend.
Tom Scully, 27, will replace Canty in the line-up and despite the late notice, the New Zealander is ready to fulfil his role across the week in support of captains Mike Woods and Tom-Jelte Slagter.
"I would have liked to get a haircut and have a shave before my first WorldTour race. But at the end of the day there is nothing to worry about," said Scully who made his 2017 debut at the nationals, placing tenth. "All I have to do is pin the numbers on tomorrow and get from point A to point B, supporting my new teammates along the way."

Three dead as heavy rains cause severe floods in France
By Martin Williams @MWilliamsHT Senior News Reporter
A resident cleans his house in the aftermath of the powerful storms.
At least three people have been killed as torrential rain flooded towns and villages in France.
Storms and heavy rain have battered the south of the country this week, causing flooding strong enough to sweep away cars.
About 2,000 firefighters and rescue workers have been deployed to the region, where rivers burst their banks, blocking roads and causing significant damage. The town of Béziers was among the hardest hit.
Cars were submerged and the waters of the River Orb rose dangerously beneath a historic bridge as the town saw 198mm (nearly 8in) – or the equivalent of two months' average rainfall – in just six hours on Wednesday morning.

France's interior minister, Christophe Castaner, said rescue workers had carried out nearly 1,800 operations since Sunday after parts of southern France were placed on high alert for flash floods.
He called for residents to "take the greatest care, and respect guidelines" from local authorities.
"The toll could clearly have been much heavier considering the intensity of the phenomena we saw," Environment Minister Eilsabeth Borne said on a visit to Béziers.
It is not known if a 68-year-old woman who was swept away by a torrent outside her front door at Cazouls-d'Hérault, north-east of Béziers, was among those who died.
Local reports suggest the woman was found unconscious in a vineyard, about 100m (330ft) away.
She was then taken by helicopter to hospital in Montpellier. In Hérault, forecasters said 240mm of rain fell in a 24-hour period – a 50-year record.
In a statement, the French interior ministry said the heavy rain was now moving down towards northern Corsica.

"Over the past three days, particularly severe storms have hit the south of France, " the French Interior Ministry said in a statement.
"The rain continues and is now affecting the eastern coast of Haute-Corse. Everyone must remain vigilant."
Nine southern France departments in Aude, Aveyron, Gard, Hérault, PyrénéesOrientales, Tarn, Bouches-du-Rhône, Var and Vaucluse were on orange alert on Wednesday – the second-most severe level – for heavy rain and flooding.
On Wednesday, floods also washed away a section of railway line south of Montpellier.

"At about 7:45 PM this evening there was a Robbery in the 700 block of Kentucky Ave. SE. The Victim was walking in the block when he was approached from behind and 'bearhugged' by the Suspect who demanded his property. The Victim handed over certain items of property and the Suspect fled. There was no injury to the Victim.
The lookout for the Suspect is black male, about 6′ in height, athletic build, wearing a dark jacket with a hood and a black mask covering his lower face.
