The four candidates for the NDP leadership debated for the first time on Sunday. The event kicked off a race that has been dormant for nearly a year. It won't come to a conclusion until October, when New Democrats decide who should replace Tom Mulcair as their leader.
The debate was a collegial affair. But did it provide any clues as to how this campaign might play out for the next seven months?
Unlike the Conservative leadership race, which has 14 candidates in the running, so far the NDP has a more manageable group to showcase: MPs Charlie Angus, Niki Ashton, Guy Caron and Peter Julian.
But that group may grow soon.
To help navigate the NDP leadership campaign, I'm joined again by NDP insiders Sally Housser of Navigator and Robin MacLachlan of Summa Strategies.
Difficult to tell where this race stands. I still think Peter Julian must be the favourite and not simply he has the most caucus support with four M.P.s. The membership is heavily dominated with Western members and M.Ps. 70% of the caucus is from the West and the membership is likely even more skewed in a Westerly direction.
Caron has a chance if members think they can maintain their beachhead in Quebec, this to a large extent depends on who the Tories choose; a Blaney or Bernier as Opposition Leader would likely mean an uphill battle to keep their 16 seats and a retrenchment to their Western base, whereas, a Kevin O'Leary, Scheer or anybody else win could give the NDP a needed boost in La Belle Provence.
Nikki Ashton is an interesting wild card. She appears to be fomenting the environmental wing in a direct challenge to the Greens, for the NDP to win Government both provincially and nationwide the Green Party needs to have <5% support. The NDP have been losing ground to the Greens for the better part of a decade; Three provinces, New Brunswick, B.C. and PEI now have Green members in addition to Ms. May. In PEI it is not unrealistic to think Mr. Bevan-Baker and the Greens could replace the PCs as Official Opposition next election. In B.C. the Greens have fairly decent chance to prevent either the Liberals or NDP from forming a majority Government. I would venture to say; B.C. is closer to having a minority Government today than anytime since the 1952 election that resulted in a Socred minority.
Charlie Angus is probably the best known of the candidates in English Canada, he's affable, smart and has a proven social democratic and parliamentary track record. His problem is he is essentially going after the same votes as Ashton and Julian, Western anglophone members.
It will go three or four ballots but, at the end of the day they'll pick one of the two fully bilingual candidates (to hedge their bets); Caron or Julian. My thought is given the membership distribution Julian should win.
Those of you who tried to argue that gerrymandering doesn't happen in Canada should read all of the efforts that Quebec politicians are doing to rewrite the redistricting proposed by the Quebec Electoral Commission to "save" their ridings (ie., keep certain demographics from being split across boundaries). Just because it's less subtle than in the States doesn't mean Canadian gerrymandering isn't alive and well. Yet another obvious defect of first-past-the-post.
To some degree what is happening in Montreal is subjective. Is it fair? Justified? Does it fit the definition of gerrymandering?
The Canadian OED defines gerrymander: Noun and Verb: 1: manipulate the boundaries of (a constituency etc)so as to give undue influence to some party or class. 2: Manipulate (a situation etc) to gain advantage. Noun: this practice.
I think the definition implies intent. So, for this to be gerrymander the Electoral Commission would have to redraw boundaries with an intended outcome.
I think the removal of these two historic anglophone ridings proof enough! There is no reason for it-only a minority of Montrealais speak French.
I am curious, is the East Island also being redistricted? If not, I think one has their answer as to the intention.
Don't think Niki Ashton has a chance ??
I like Peter Julian best.
For the NDP to remain competitive with the ability to form Government, Guy Caron would look like the obvious choice for the next leader. If the NDP wants to be a governing party they need to repeat Jack Layton's "Orange Wave" and Quebec still looks like their best bet to achieve the seat gains required.
The race is in the early days, from what I know of the candidates; Caron appears to be the "Mulcair wing" candidate; Ashton the "radical progressive/ let's take on the Greens candidate"; Charlie Angus the "parliamentary conscience/moral high ground" candidate and Peter Julian the compromise/ consensus candidate.
Peter Julian will probably become the next leader since the membership and infrastructure of the party are dominated by Westerners, particularly, Julian's home province of B.C.
Julian is also the only candidate in a safe NDP seat-an important consideration for a party third in the polls, 4% below their 2015 performance. Having to go through a third leadership race in 8 years would be unwelcome to say the least.
Just as in the Conservative race it will be tempting to choose a leader from Quebec. I think both races will end up with Francophone v. Anglophone on the final ballot: O'Leary v. Bernier and Caron V. Julian. The Conservative electoral system is generally assumed to help Bernier and the NDP system is generally assumed to help Julian. I think both will win their respective leadership races.
I know very little about the NDP but I would guess that Caron can't win in Quebec like Layton did. In short, Trudeau. Even if Liberals drop in Quebec, Justin is perceived by many Quebecers as a francophone leader. That would tend to limit NPD momentum in Quebec, even if Trudeau seriously falters.

Global Women's Rights Forum Opens With Alumni Panel
Nell Bayliss
For Mary Cruz '16, being the daughter of immigrants has always shaped her. The issue of immigration formed her activism while on campus, and she now works as an immigrant policy advocate for the California Immigrant Policy Center. While Cruz is proud of the work she does, it can be tiring. Those doing work for social change often come face to face with burnout. "There is an important need for a good mental and physical balance," Cruz said.
Cruz joined with AJ+ media video producer Shadi Rahimi, '02, and Sunny Angulo, legislative aide for Board of Supervisor Aaron Peskin. The three women shared the difficulties they have encountered as women and as activists. But while they discussed the current ongoing social change work they are engaged in, they also offered guidance on how to prevent fatigue from their work.
The panel was hosted by this year's Global Women's Rights Forum. "The Global Women's Rights Forum was started with a more expansive vision," said Jazlynn Pastor, a senior communications studies major and the panel moderator. The forum was centered around International Women's Day, which was on March 8, and had three days of events, including a panel of Afro-Mexican women activists, "Dance As Change" workshop and PASJ music performance.
"The forum was created to challenge sexist, racist, heterosexist and classist values," according to Global Women's Rights Forum's mission statement on their website.
While these panelists came from different professions, they all discussed how the work they do directly relates to the communities they come from. Angulo, a San Francisco native, ran for ASUSF Senate during her time at USF. She was on a ticket that included Latinx and Filipinx candidates, and they ran on a queer, person of color, social justice platform and won. Angulo said she is all about creating space for the people in her community. "I work for the people," said Angulo.
Rahimi spoke about the representation of Iranian-Americans in the U.S. "From a very young age, I understood the power of the media," Rahimi said. By the time she reached USF, she had seen the misrepresentation of other communities. While at USF, Rahimi help start SNAG Magazine, a publication for Native youth in Oakland. "I taught them everything I was learning in my media studies classes," Rahimi said.
"Make sure you are the ones telling your stories," Rahimi said.
The panelists are motivated by the work they do, but acknowledged the need to take care of themselves. "Hold yourself accountable for self-care," Cruz said. They noted that self-care is not just taking time for yourself, but also finding those networks that feed your soul. "I try to invest in long term relationships, people that I can also support," Angulo said. They said these networks are what allow them to find people to lean on, to pick them up and to be able to continue their work as resilient women. Angulo noted that everyone has their own tools, but it's important to find the overlap with others to support and create change.
"If you are passionate about social justice, there is always a way to bring that into what you are doing," Cruz said. The panelists reminded the audience that even if you are not doing work similar to them, there are always ways you can advocate for change in your work space. Rahimi pointed out that women have always been at the forefront of social change, and the panelists agreed that they don't see that changing anytime soon.

June 17, 2021 in America's Got Talent - Season 16
Tonight, we have the second round of auditions for America's Got Talent! Terry Crews takes the stage and introduces the judges.
We kick the night of with 7 young girls from Texas and they are a dance group called Beyond Belief Dance. They begin their routine, and they look like they're having fun. They get an ovation from all four judges. Simon thought the act was sensational and he really loves them. Sofia thought it was out of this world and she couldn't get enough of them. Howie says they were fierce, especially the little one. Heidi says they were incredible and couldn't have done it better. Heidi gives the first yes. Howie gives the second yes. Sofia gives the third yes. Simon says now they have four yeses.
The next act out brought unicycles and they are called UniCircle Flow. There are four on stage, but they represent a group of 12 people. They begin their routine which includes them "dancing" in pairs while riding on the unicycles, a jump on the unicycle, riding backwards, and other tricks. They get an ovation from all four judges and the audience. Sofia says this was amazing. The energy, the music, it all worked together and it was so exciting. Howie says usually it's a clown or a juggler on a unicycle and they brought a dance. Heidi loved it and they were so in sync and so fast and it was incredible. Simon says it was amazing with four and he can only imagine what it will look like with twelve. He says he was blown away by this. It was sensational. Simon gives a 100% yes, Heidi gives a yes, Howie gives a yes, and Sofia gives the fourth yes.
We have two boy bands up next. The first is called Korean Soul, and the second is called Larger Than Life. Korean Soul has a teacher, a painter, a convenience store worker, and a military officer. Larger Than Life talks about their fans and how loyal they are and they wear shirts with their faces and get tattoos.
Larger Than Life takes the stage first and they are going to do a mash up of Larger Than Life and Tearin' Up My Heart by The Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync respectively. They begin and Simon doesn't look impressed and he hits his X. Heidi also hits her X. Howie hits his X. The audience doesn't respond well to their finish. Heidi says they were all rooting for them, but it didn't sound so great. Sofia says it felt forced. Simon tells them to stop right now, it's hard enough when you're good, but when you're terrible? He advises them to just give it up. Howie gives a no and Heidi gives a no. Sofia says she wouldn't tell them to stop if they're having fun, but it's a no for AGT. Simon says no.
Korean Soul is up next on stage and Simon greets them. They perform All My Life by K-CI and JoJo. The audience seems to be enjoying them and Sofia and Heid have smiles on their faces. Howie says they checked all the boxes. Heidi says they were silky and smooth and she loved the arrangement. Sofia says they make a great group and she thinks it's perfect. She thought it was spectacular. Simon says that could be one of the best auditions they had today. The song choice was great, the harmonies were great. Howie gives a yes. Heidi also gives a yes. Sofia gives a yes. Simon gives a yes and a thumbs up.
The next act is Matt Johnson and he's an escape artist. He's in front of a contraption that looks to include weights and saws. He had an accident the year prior but he's here to face his fears and the act he's performing he's never done before and he's only rehearsed it twice. He gets strapped into a straight jacket and then get strapped onto a board by his ankles and turned upside down while saws are running. He'll have to escape the jacket first to continue to free himself from other bindings before the saw falls. Howie says this is crazy. He has two lines marked on a container that will be filled with water and Howie asks which line and he doesn't know because he hasn't rehearsed it enough. Everything is now going. Howie notes the water is going up fast. Sofia turns around. The water is almost to the first line and Sofia is screaming hurry up. Matt looks to be almost out of the straight jacket. The water has reached the first line and the jacket just gets released. He flips himself up just in time as the saw falls.
Matt is emotional and the judges give an ovation. Simon says anyone who puts themselves in this position is crazy because that could have been catastrophic but it was brilliant. Sofia says her stomach still hurts because she was so nervous for him. Heidi that was crazy and he should listen to his wife more often. Howie says he was so scared and it was just crazy. Howie starts the voting with a yes. Heidi gives a yes. Sofia says yes. Simon says his wife will hate him but he wants to see Matt again. He has the fourth yes.
Patrick Kun is our next act and it's always been his dream to be a magician in Las Vegas. His parents didn't like his goals so he'd order something and have it delivered to a friends house and practice with his door locked. He takes the stage for his performance. Patrick joins the judges at the table and he has Simon open the brand new deck of cards. He gives each of the judges an ace and asks them to sign the cards. He then collects them and does a couple of tricks with them. He then finishes his act and he gets an ovation from all four judges and the audience and a fist bump from Simon.
Heidi says Patrick was incredible and she wants to know how on earth he did this. Sofia says it was mind blowing because it was right in front of them. He's amazing. Simon does believe in magic and he liked his whole presentation and it was a really good audition. Howie says he hopes Patrick wins. Heidi gives a yes. Sofia gives a yes. Simon says he has his third yes. Fourth yes from Howie.
Next up is Johnny Showcase and he is an entertainer and he has his singers with him. He also has his spiritual advisor with him. Heidi greets him and things are awkward during their interview and Simon looks amused when Johnny starts talking about him liking music. Simon looks skeptical. Heidi wishes him good luck. Simon is cringing before the music starts. Johnny starts singing and Simon looks surprised. He sings his own song that has everyone laughing. The song may be called We've Got to Be Sensual, because I'm Married. They get an ovation from all four judges and the audience. Simon says he was so annoying and then the act started and it was brilliant. One of his favorite acts. Sofia enjoyed it and they were all surprised. She loved it. Howie says there aren't even words. Howie says he's funny and it makes them smile and he loved it. Heidi loved it. Heidi kicks it off with a big fat yes. Howie says yes. Sofia says yes. Simon says ginormous yes.
The next act is The Curtis Family C-Notes and they are fa mily band dressed in a 70s style. One of the members asks Simon to name their guitar and Simon named it Moon. Simon tells them to have fun and they get set up for their performance. They perform I Was Made to Love Her by Stevie Wonder. Howie says they are a beautiful family and he thinks they are superstars. Heidi says they sounded as good as they looked. Sofia says everything was perfect and she thinks they are on the right track. Simon says everyone of them looked like they were having a great time. Howie gives a yes and Heidi says of course she's going to give them a yes. Sofia gives them a yes also and Simon gives them the fourth yes.
Next we have Danny Dechi comes out with a violin case. He sharpens a pencil and drums it against his cheek. Sofia and Simon hit their X's quickly and then Howie and Heidi quickly follow. Sofia thanks him for coming.
We move on to Les Beaux Freres and they meet the judges and then leave for a moment. They come back apparently naked with towels and dance and do a comedy routine. The judges are laughing and the audience seems to enjoy the routine and it ends with one of the guys stealing the other guy's towel and leaving him naked. There is a washcloth left and he moves over to it awkwardly and picks it up to cover himself. They get an ovation from all four judges. They are back in robes. Howie says he loved this, it was funny. Heidi says that was her cup of tea. Sofia thought it was fantastic. Simon says that was very, very funny. He doesn't know where they go next but it was hilarious. All four judges give a yes and they move on.
The next act is Gina Brillon and she's a stand-up comedian. She did whatever she could to work and help earn money for her family. She's here to show her son you can live your dreams. The judges and audience seem to be enjoying her set. She gets an ovation from all four judges. Simon gives her a thumbs up and Sofia says she laughed at every single joke. She says she looks amazing and she was so funny. Simon says it felt like she was having a conversation, not a routine. Heidi wishes her husband was here because she was hilarious. Howie says she's beautiful, she's funny, she's natural and she checked every box a comedian can check. What a great addition to the sixteenth season of AGT. Sofia gives the first yes. Simon says number two. Heidi gives number three. Howie says number four!
Our final act is Nightbirde and she's a singer. She's 30 and she's from Ohio and she's going to sing an original song called "It's Ok". She's asked what she does for a living and she says she hasn't worked in a few years because she's been dealing with cancer. She is set up for her performance and she begins to sing. She finishes and the crowd erupts. Howie says singers come on but that felt like the most authentic thing he's heard. Sofia says it was powerful and heartfelt and amazing. Heidi says it was amazing. Simon says her voice is stunning and he agrees with what Howie said. Simon looks to be a bit emotional and his voice is a bit shaky and he takes a drink. He says there have been some great singers this year and he's not going to give her a yes. He's going to give her something else and hits his golden buzzer!

Coventry City resume their League Two campaign this weekend when they entertain league leaders Exeter City.
Paul Tisdale's men are currently unbeaten in the fourth tier having won seven of their eight league games so far this term.
City will be without injured duo Marc McNulty (hamstring) and Tony Andreu (cruciate knee ligament), with the latter likely to miss the rest of the season as he prepares for surgery.
Tom Davies may be recalled to the squad after the defender missed the Cambridge United defeat with a sickness bug.


Italy, the land of beauty, fashion, history and culture has been regarded as one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. For those who like to travel and visit romantic places, Italy is the best place to stop at, not only it is romantic but it has extremely interesting buildings, monuments and architectural achievements which are part of history, so those who love to scrutinize the meaning behind art will find this place to be a fantastic historical and artistic puzzle.
When traveling to this fantastic country it is important to make sure you plan the tours you want to take and the places you want to visit since some tours and guides will show you around the most tourist places and other tours will take you on exclusive rides throughout a specific region. One thing is sure though, Italy is a big country which has much to offer to the tourist and it can't all be seen in just one trip.
Great musicians born in Italy have written and composed touching musical pieces and those who appreciate this form art dream about taking a gondola ride to the soothing and romantic lyrics of songs such as "O Sole Mio" or "Time to say Goodbye (Con Te Partiro) – Andrea Boccelli & Sarah Brightman", as you may think this is definitively the perfect place to spend an unforgettable honey moon.
Once you are in Italy a couple of cities you definitively must visit are Rome and of course the already mentioned Venice, this doesn't mean that these two places hold all of Italy's attractions, it only means that there are several interesting landmarks which you definitively have to see in person. In Rome you can find the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Pantheon among several other landmarks and tourists attractions; Venice on the other hand is much appreciated and admired for being the "floating city" because all of it is placed on water. This city is actually sinking so as a tourist it is better to visit this beautiful place while it is still a float!
Whenever you decide to take some time of and get a way for a couple of weeks your plans should definitively include Italy because of the many attractions, culture, architecture and rich heritage which can't be found anywhere else. Italy is best known for its fantastic people and it's definitively a place which most tourists hope to be in at least once in their lifetime.

New Delhi [India]: Union Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday ordered state-run oil companies to raise subsidised cooking gas (LPG) prices by Rs. 4 per cylinder every month to eliminate all the subsidies by March next year.
Pradhan in a written reply in the Lok Sabha said, "Public sector oil marketing companies (OMCs) were authorised to increase price of subsidised domestic LPG cylinder by Rs. 2 per cylinder (14.2-kg) per month (excluding VAT) with effect from July 1, 2016".
"The government vide its order dated May 30, 2017, has again authorised OMCs to continue to increase the effective price of subsidised domestic LPG by Rs. 4 per cylinder effective June 1, 2017, per month (excluding VAT) till the reduction of government subsidy to 'nil', or till March 2018, or till further orders, whichever is earliest," he added.
The government had previously asked Indian Oil (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) to raise rates of subsidised domestic LPG ( liquefied petroleum gas) by Rs. 2 per 14.2-kg cylinder per month (excluding VAT).
Now, the quantum has been doubled so as to bring down the subsidy to nil. Every household is entitled to 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg each at subsidised rates in a year. Any requirement beyond that is to be purchased at market price.
Oil companies have raised rates twice since then, the last being on July 1 when rates were up by a steep Rs. 32 per cylinder — the steepest increase in six years. This hike was because of the May 30 order as well as reflection of hiked tax rates under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
A Delhi court on Monday issued summons to app-based cab service providers, including Ola and Uber, for allegedly not adhering to rules relating to fares.

The court order came on a complaint filed by an NGO Nyayabhoomi through its secretary Rakesh Agarwal.
"Prima facie, it is clear that excess fares have been charged by the respondent companies in violation of Motor Vehicles (MV) Act notification dated June 20, 2013 as well as City Taxi Scheme (CTS)," the court said.
"Accordingly, prima facie case for permit violation under section 192A of MV Act is made out," the court said.
The NGO has sought recovery of a whopping Rs 91,000 crore from cab service providers for allegedly not adhering to rules relating to fares and not operating by meters.
New Delhi, July 31 (PTI) The Indian Railways is going full steam to achieve the target of covering the 245-km long Delhi-Chandigarh distance in flat two hours despite many curves on the proposed semi-high speed route.
The Delhi-Chandigarh corridor, one of the busiest routes in north India, is slated to be first semi-high speed project being taken up by the state-owned transporter to run trains at maximum speeds of 200 kmph with French help.
There are about 10 major curves spanning over 32 km on the existing Delhi-Chandigarh rail route.
The public transporter will not go for land acquisition required for straightening up several curves on the Delhi- Chandigarh semi-high speed corridor and instead opt for slowing down while negotiating the track, according to the railways.
New Delhi, July 31: The Central Board of Direct Taxes on Monday announced that the last date for tax-payers to link their respective Aadhaar cards to PAN has been extended till August 31. It further added that the process for Income Tax Return shall begin once the Aadhaar-PAN linking is completed.
The Ministry of Finance said that the 'actual linking of PAN with Aadhaar can be done subsequently, but anytime before August 31, 2017'. It further added that the returns will not be processed until the linkage of Aadhaar with PAN is done. The government also earlier on Monday extended the deadline for filing Income Tax Returns till August 5.
An Outlook report on Monday quoted Revenue Secretary Hasmukh Adhia who emphasised that failing to link the Aadhaar to the PANs will lead to cancellation of the PAN card. Initially the Revenue Secretary rubbished the claims of an extension of the deadline to file the Income Tax Returns, which had to be extended till August 5. Similarly, flexibility was shown regarding the deadline for linking the Aadhaar and PAN.
New Delhi, July 31 (PTI) E-commerce firm Snapdeal today terminated talks for a takeover by larger rival Flipkart, saying it will "pursue an independent path" to continue its operations.
"Snapdeal has been exploring strategic options over the last several months. The company has now decided to pursue an independent path and is terminating all strategic discussions as a result," Snapdeal spokesperson said in an emailed statement, without naming Flipkart.
The company said it has a "new and compelling direction – Snapdeal 2.0" and has made significant progress towards the ability to execute this by achieving a gross profit this month.
"In addition, with the sale of certain non-core assets, Snapdeal is expected to be financially self-sustainable," it added.
Growth of eight core industries slows down to 0.4 per cent in June against 7 per cent expansion in the same month last year.

High and ultrahigh resolution molecular spectroscopy
High resolution molecular spectra contain unique information about the structure of molecules, dynamics of collective motion of nuclei and electrons in molecules, as well as about intramolecular and intermolecular interactions specified by the basic laws of quantum physics. Experimental and theoretical methods of studying molecular spectra in the millimeter and submilli-meter wavelength ranges have been developed from the first days of IAP RAS establishment.
The major recent achievements in this field are the following:
Precision resonator spectroscopy has been advanced significantly. Its applications include measurements of ultra-low loss in liquid and solid dielectrics, study of the dielectric properties of thin films, reflection coefficients of highly reflective materials and coatings (V. V. Parshin, E. A. Serov); and investigation of the spectra of atmospheric gases (M. Yu. Tretyakov, M. A. Koshelev, D. S. Makarov). The operating range of the resonator spectrometer has been expanded to the submillimeter region, and its sensitivity in wideband spectra recording has been increased by more than an order of magnitude. Addition of a pressure and temperature controlled chamber enabled high-accuracy quantitative study of the effect of collisional coupling of the lines of molecular oxygen absorption band at 60 GHz, which resulted in updating in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology of the world-famous model of atmospheric absorption. Investigation of the humidity-related nonresonant atmospheric absorption revealed a possible way to eliminate systematic errors of all the previous similar studies caused by water molecules adsorption by the elements of the measuring resonator; most accurate todate empirical parameters of the continuum have been found in a wide temperature range. The first observation of a resolved rotational spectrum of water dimer in equilibrium conditions close to atmospheric ones was realized using this spectrometer, which permitted, in particular, to prove that water dimer formation is the main mechanism responsible for the formation of the water vapor related part of atmospheric continuum. This proved the hypothesis put forward almost half a century ago by Prof. S. A. Zhevakin of the Radio Physical Research Institute that had not been confirmed despite numerous considerable efforts.
A broad-band millimeter and submillimeter wavelength video spectrometer has been developed that provides narrow nonlinear resonances with a mi-nimum width of 10.6 kHz within the Doppler contour of molecular absorption lines using the Lamb dip method and measurement of their frequencies with absolute accuracy of 500 Hz (S. P. Belov, G. Yu. Golubyatnikov). These are Russia's record parameters corresponding to the best world standards.
Example of Lamb dip record on rotational transition line of carbonyl sulfide molecule
High-accuracy analysis of the line shape of carbonyl sulfide molecule (OCS) rotational spectrum observed in experiment permitted solving the decades-discussed problem of which of the numerous proposed models of line profile corresponds to the processes occurring during collisional interaction of molecules and, therefore, is most suitable for high-accuracy modeling of radiation absorption in gases of polar molecules (M. A. Koshelev in collaboration with researchers of the Lille and Paris Universities, France).
The theoretical methods of calculating molecular spectra developed at IAP RAS on the basis of variational computations (O. L. Polyansky, N. F. Zobov, R. I. Ovsyannikov in cooperation with the University College London) have attained a new level of accuracy. Global estimates of the vibrational-rotational spectrum of vital water molecules have been made. The accuracy of calculations of frequencies of all lines throughout the energy range (from the low-lying rotational levels to the dissociation energy) is more than six significant digits, and the prediction of the line position is within the line contour observed in traditional experiments. The achieved accuracy of the line intensity calculation exceeds the accuracy of the experiment. Ab initio calculations of the spectrum of the simplest triatomic molecule – H3+ ion that plays an important role in astrophysics and atmospheric chemistry were done with record accuracy. The calculated line frequencies agree with the experimental ones up to five significant digits.
Experimental records of atmospheric oxygen absorption band at different temperatures made with record high sensitivity
A pioneer approach to the description of intramolecular dynamics based solely on the symmetry principles was developed by A. V. Burenin. Within this approach, the configuration space of the molecule is not used in explicit form; hence, the wave functions of the space coordinates are not considered explicitly. But it is thanks to its basic difference from traditional methods that the developed approach is currently the only one capable of solving a number of topical problems of the internal molecular dynamics. First of all, it allows description of nonrigid molecules with several equilibrium configurations. The resulting models are rigorous and a purely algebraic computation scheme may be employed. The results of the research were presented in the well-known monograph "The Symmetry of Quantum Intramolecular Dynamics" that went through three editions (Institute of Applied Physics, 2002, 2006 and 2012). In November 2012 the book was published in the English language (DeGruter, Germany).

Newton's 3 Laws of Motion comic
by alex_garcia
Law of Ineria
Law of Action
Law of Reaction
The first law applies to rockets because when the rocket is standing still and it waits to get move. An object moves with the direction of the force it pushes. When the force direction is going up so the rocket is going up because it is the direction of the force.
The second law applies to rockets because since the rocket has a lot of mass there has to be a lot of force to lift up the rocket. The second laws talks about how much mass the object has the more force to push it, so since the rocket has a lot of mass there has to be a lot of force to push the rocket.
The third law applies to rockets because it says that in every force there is always an opposite force. So in rockets the thrust is pushing down and then the force is pushing up. The thrust and the force is the opposite of eachother.

Temtem - PC Not-Pokemon Game Found Half a Million Buyers on Steam
Temtem was quite a success. A month after the Early Access launch, it was announced that the game inspired by the Pokemon series has sold over half a million copies.
Temtem is very popular in the world.
Temtem has been bought by half a million during the first month after launch in Early Access on Steam.
The essence of the game is to explore the Airborne Archipelago and collect the eponymous creatures.
The full version of the title will be released on the market next year.
Today it's been an even month since the early access launch of Temtem, an MMO inspired by the Pokemon series. As it turns out, the game has achieved considerable commercial success. Through Twitter, the devs of the game reported that it has reached over half a million users worldwide. The popularity of the title is also confirmed by the fact that it landed on Valve's January list of biggest Steam launches.
However, the large number of copies sold is not the only thing that the game can boast at this moment. Temtem has also met with a very warm reception among the community - on Steam 88% of over 16,000 user reviews are positive.
Temtem is a game that can be an alternative to the Pokemon series designed for Nintendo. During the game we play as a trainer of the title creatures, and our goal is to become the best. To this end, we traverse the Airborne Archipelago, catch new specimens for our collection and fight the opponents we meet. The full version of the title is to be released in the second or third quarter of 2021.

When to show the OS
The messaging is always the same…
"It's as easy as saying, Alexa, find me a job."
"Connecting your world with the touch of a button."
While consumer brands have used the "easy as 1, 2, 3" angle for decades, tech platforms in the last 15 years have extended that to nearly every aspect of daily life.
Their work has largely become about hiding the operating system, masking the actual work it takes to create and interact with both the physical and digital world - this is the mantra of tech giants like Apple, Facebook, and Google, and by extension the startups that dream of becoming them.
Apple describing the possibilities of augmented reality on their home page
But imagining the world is easy, without difficulty or pain, isn't the same thing as it actually being easy...no matter how much we optimize for a painless experience.
As Olia Lialina notes in an essay on the Turing Complete User, and again in examining Rich User Experience, UX and Desktopization of War…optimizing for invisibility may make it easy for companies to market products, but there's also something essentially lost by re-framing it that way.
"We are giving up our last rights and freedoms for "experiences," for the questionable comfort of "natural interaction." But there is no natural interaction, and there are no invisible computers, there only hidden ones."
Hiding code and operational structure may make sense for ease of use when you're booking a hotel or looking for a meetup group in a new city, but modern design optimization often fails to reveal important opportunities or barriers that require an individual decision by the end user.
Lialina notes the example of a user experience designer reducing cognitive load and ethical/moral considerations for a drone operator in an air conditioned trailer in the New Mexico desert pressing buttons to kill someone halfway across the world.
"Augmented Reality shouldn't become Virtual Reality. On a technical and conceptual level, interaction designers usually follow this rule, but when it comes to gun sights it must become an ethical issue instead."
Experience designers should not provide experiences for gun sights. There should be no user illusion and no illusion of being a user created for military operations."
This is something that both Lialina and Zeynep Tufekci point out on a regular basis - that we need to arrive with a basic set of questions, considerations, and ethics when we design and operationalize digital platforms and experiences.
The unintended consequences of drone strikes and Russian covert ops hacking into and socially engineering U.S. elections are only two examples of things that can't be solved by optimizing design. These problems require real scientists, engineers, sociologists, and ethicists to make the tradeoffs visible.
That's one of the most important reasons to show the OS: end users, customers, clients, and audiences should all have at least enough access to the underlying structure to know that there is a balance, and that choices are being made.
And, refusing to show the OS also destroys something we all love about the digital world: that edgelessness, freedom, and possibility that designer Frank Chimero described in his piece on the essential quality of the web back in 2015.
Perhaps instead of asking what we should hide, creatives and entrepreneurs of all kinds need to focus more on the opposite question…
What should we be making visible in the world?
In growth with purpose Tags ecosystems, operating system, os, augmented reality, virtual reality, user experience, ux, ui, human centered design
← A startup is just a series of prioritizations When an ecosystem can't or won't reject bad actors →

PM praises Wolverhampton pothole repairs
Wolverhampton City Council has today been awarded £500,000 from the Government's Pothole Repair Fund and been praised by the Prime Minister as a national leader in roads maintenance.
David Cameron said: "Today we are announcing over half a million pounds to help Wolverhampton to rid its roads of the pain of potholes. Wolverhampton has shown it is one of the leading areas in the country in its determination to beat potholes, and is receiving extra cash as a result."
The council had to bid for the funding to the Department of Transport and, as part of the application, demonstrate how it maintains the city's roads. Extra funding has been given to "model" councils.
Wolverhampton follows Government guidelines on roads maintenance and the city council chairs a regional group on highways asset management.
The council carries out regular inspections of its highways and makes it easy for the public to report potholes via the web, mobile app or telephone. All of the most serious potholes in Wolverhampton are repaired within 24 hours and less severe defects are programmed in to be repaired within 36 days.
A scheduled programme of road resurfacing is also carried out each year - which aims to ensure potholes don't develop in the first place.
Potholes are repaired 'first time' - which means they are given a permanent repair to avoid expensive return visits fixing the same hole.
Councillor Peter Bilson, Wolverhampton City Council's cabinet member for economic regeneration and prosperity, said: "We're delighted that the Prime Minister and Central Government have recognised that here in Wolverhampton we are national leaders in our approach to pothole repairs and roads maintenance and this money will be invested into ensuring our high standards are maintained. I would like to congratulate our excellent employees in Highways and Public Realm.
"We repair all of the most urgent potholes within 24 hours and less severe within 36 days. Because we believe that prevention is better than cure, 95 per cent of our urgent potholes are given a permanent repair - meaning there is less risk that we will be called back out to fix them again in the future.
"The only time we would carry out a temporary repair is when the pothole is at a busy junction or similar and closing the road at short notice would inconvenience the motorists. In these cases we programme in a permanent repair at off peak times. We also use innovative, cost effective ways to repair the road surface as well - such as a machine that effectively recycles the existing road surface material, reheats it and creates a sealed, permanent repair. Wolverhampton also chairs a regional group of councils that share good practice on road repairs."

'Significant' top up to hospitality, retail and leisure covid grant announced for January
The top up will be added to payments for all eligible hospitality, retail and leisure businesses forced to close during the pandemic.

A 'significant' top-up to the grant support available for hospitality, retail and leisure businesses across Scotland closed by level 4 restrictions has been announced today by Finance Secretary Kate Forbes.
In addition to the grants businesses receive through the Strategic Business Framework Fund, eligible businesses will also get a one off grant of:
£25,000 for larger hospitality businesses on top of the 4-weekly £3,000
£6,000 for smaller hospitality businesses on top of the 4-weekly £2,000
£9,000 for larger retail and leisure businesses on top of the 4-weekly £3,000
£6,000 for smaller retail and leisure businesses on top of the 4-weekly £2,000

In most cases, eligible businesses that have already applied for the 4-weekly payment from the Strategic Framework Business Fund will get an automatic top-up.
For the majority, this top-up will be combined with the next tranche of payments for the Strategic Framework Business Fund due to go to businesses on 25 January.

Businesses that haven't yet applied for either of these funds should submit an application as soon as possible through their local authority website.
Applications are currently open.
Ms Forbes said: "Since the start of the pandemic Scottish Government support for business and the economy has reached almost £3 billion - more than a third of our total coronavirus (COVID-19) funding, demonstrating our commitment to provide as much help as we possibly can to our businesses.
"As promised, this additional support for hospitality, retail and leisure businesses will be available this month, in some cases doubling or tripling the amount of support we are providing. Applications are open now and payment will be made this month.
(Image: Martin Shields Photography)
"Crucially this essential funding will also help to close the gaps in UK wide support for these impacted sectors and our one-off support for larger hospitality premises of £25,000 is considerably more generous than the £9,000 grant on offer in England.
"I'd encourage all eligible businesses to apply through their local authority if they have not done so already. Of course we are acutely aware that this support can never compensate for the full impact on business, but we must work within the resources that are available to us, and we continue to respond to the evolving economic challenges arising from the pandemic."

Glasgow weather: Heavy snow forecast to hit Scotland and cause 'significant disruption'
David Lonsdale, Director of the Scottish Retail Consortium said: "Shops and high streets across Scotland have been left reeling by coronavirus. These enhanced cash grants for retail business are a financial lifeline which will help non-essential stores through the current phase of being unable to open and trade.
"There isn't a taxpayer-funded support scheme which can replace the potential losses of store closures, so it is very encouraging that the Finance Secretary has listened and responded positively."
How do I know what my business is classed as?
larger hospitality businesses are those with a rateable value of £51,001 or more
smaller hospitality businesses are those with a rateable value of £51,000 or less
larger retail and leisure businesses are those with a rateable value of £51,001
smaller retail and leisure businesses are those with a rateable value of £51,000 or less

When is a Rubik's Cube Not a Cube? When It's a Fruit
apple | banana | brando | fruit | lemon | orange | pear | puzzle | rubiks cube | weird | September 15, 2020
The original Rubik's Cube is one of the most iconic and popular toys of all time. From its deceptively simple design to its frustrating complexity for noobs, to the amazing way that some people can solve them in seconds, they're a mechanical masterpiece of puzzle goodness.
The original 3x3x3 puzzle has inspired many variants, including much more complicated versions, and shapes like pyramids and dodecahedrons. Now, you can buy some Rubik's inspired puzzles that look good enough to eat.
These Fruit Series "cube" puzzles are anything but cube-shaped, but they work in a similar way to the original Rubik's Cube, with a multi-axis pivoting mechanism to scramble then arrange their parts out. The puzzles come in five tasty and nutritious versions, including orange, banana, pear, lemon, and apple. Okay, plastic isn't actually nutritious.
At first glance, these things look like they'd be more challenging to sort out than a piece of fruit that you already took a bite out of, but apparently, they're not that hard. Despite the temptation, don't try and chomp down on one of these, or you'll certainly chip a tooth.
All of these fruity puzzles are available individually from Hong Kong novelty shop Brando, where they sell for $16 each. The SpeedCubeShop sells a set of three that includes the orange, apple, and banana for just $17.95. I also found a set of four on Amazon for $19.99.

Saturn Moth EP give-away show Saturday; No Blood Orphan, Answer Team listening party tonight…
Category: Blog — Tags: Saturn Moth — @ 1:00 pm August 5, 2011
by Tim McMahan, Lazy-i.com
It's a quieter weekend than normal, with a few notable small shows…
Tomorrow night Saturn Moth is having an EP release show at The Waiting Room. They're a four-piece — all UNO students — that plays an abrasive-pop style of indie rock fronted by a real crooner in Collin Matz. The band is literally giving away 100 copies of their new self-titled 5-song EP at Saturday's show. Or if you prefer, you can get a free download of the recording right now at this Bandcamp address: http://saturnmoth.bandcamp.com/album/saturn-moth-ep?permalink Downloads are limited to the first 200, and since I downloaded one that means there's only 199 left. Better hurry.
Saturn Moth follows a long line of bands that released debut albums and then, almost at the same time, disbanded. Matz said Saturday night's show will be the band's last before it goes on hiatus.
"I wish I could say that it's a ploy for publicity or buzz. Our drummer's going for his masters in geological sciences in North Dakota this fall," Matz said. "We've decided to make the EP free and just get it into as many iTunes libraries as we can in hopes that people enjoy it."
Opening the show is Snake Island and Lightning Bug. $5, 9 p.m.
Other shows of interest or note:
No Blood Orphan (Mike Saklar and host of local superstars) is playing tonight at The Barley Street, coming out of months of seclusion. Joining the Orphans is The Garden, Custom Catacombs, Colin Hotz, Melissa Dundis, and Dylan Davis and Cricket. $5, 9 p.m.
The Answer Team is hosting a listening party/video release at The Sydney tonight starting at 8 p.m. The sneak peek precludes a full-blown CD release show Aug. 19 at Slowdown with Back When and New Lungs.
Also tonight, The Side Door Lounge is hosting a handful of out-of-town bands that I've never heard of, capped off by a performance from the Big Al Band. Show starts at 7 p.m. Event details and band line-up is at this Facebook event page.
Finally, tomorrow night at The Barley Street, Travelling Mercies headlines a show with The
Betties, Platte River Rain and John Klemmensen & the Party. $5, 9 p.m.

Riding the crest of a wave
Aug 1, 2017 | Passionate Arabia
Kuwait-based Seas & Deserts Group is a regular attendee to Kuwait Yacht Show. Carla Sommers speaks to Sales Manager, Abdul Hamid Marhaba, about the company's growth in the GCC and finds out how business has remained so buoyant in these challenging economic times.
What will S&D be showcasing at Kuwait Yacht Show 2017 and what will your company's attendance at KYS bring?We will showcase a full range of Azimut Yachts in addition to brands such as Sea Ray, Boston Whaler and Garmin, they are the boats we feel are most appropriate to the show and to customers here in Kuwait. The Kuwait Yacht Show is a place where we always look for serious prospects, it's a huge social gathering so it also enables us to meet clients and gather information for further follow up. We are confident the show will bring a boost to the market as it is exclusive to Kuwait and an important opportunity to introduce our wide range of brands to new customers.
Which of S&D's latest products are you most proud of? And which product is most relevant to Kuwait? It has to be the Azimut brand! As everyone knows this is an Italian yacht-manufacturing company founded by Paolo Vitelli, based in Avigliana, Italy. Azimut is not only a world-recognized name, it's the world leader simply because the Azimut-Benetti Group has been commended as the number one yacht builder for sixteen years in a row. The company started by chartering a single sailing boat and then went onto develop into a large luxury yacht-building company. The latest 66 Fly is a great example of their innovation and success; she won The "Most Technologically Advanced Yacht" in the World Yacht Trophy awards, considered among the prestigious awards in the industry, in Cannes in September 2016. Among the entire Azimut lineup, my favorite yachts are the 50-foot and 80-foot Flybridge 77S and 95-foot RPH Grande.
What do you feel gives S&D the edge over other Kuwait companies in the yacht/marine industry? Long experience in the marine business, dedication, good planning and professionalism are our strong points. We always try to offer our clients the best sales and after-sales service and this means building good relations with them, so we can work very closely to address their needs and understand what they want to get out of their yachting experience. Our offices cover Kuwait, UAE and Qatar which also means we have a regional presence.
What are the most important changes S&D has witnessed over the past year in terms of its business and dealerships? Our company is still growing! Very soon we will open a new office Qatar in the new 'Pearl' development, which includes a large marina, luxury shopping and residences. We've been in the Qatar market for a few years now but we believe moving to this address carries a lot of prestige and we feel certain it's the ideal location for the marine business in Qatar.
Has S&D been affected by the economic downturn here in the Gulf? If so, how has that impacted business? If not, why not? The economic downturn is in truth global and didn't just affect the Gulf, it affected all sectors and domains, not only the marine industry. That said, we feel very blessed, thanks to careful marketing strategies and loyal clients we have been able to maintain our sales, even in these tough times, and indeed we are expanding our presence by open luxurious new offices in Qatar, which will add further benefits and give us a higher profile.
How has the yachting industry changed in the last decade? Is technology now playing a much greater role in the industry? Overall the industry has seen many improvements in many areas, especially in terms of design, spatial management, innovation and technology, not forgetting advances in safety and comfort. Today we see the extensive use of pure carbon fibre such as in the Azimut 66 and 72 Flybridge, which before was just used in limited areas of the yacht. In addition, we now have electric power steering, which gives a sensation similar to driving a top-of-the-range car; this is used in the Azimut 66 and Flybridge. Furthermore we see better and more innovative propulsion systems such as those used by Benetti Super Yachts. All the above have significantly improved the speed, efficiency, comfort, and safety of the yacht owners. It has brought about lower noise levels and better maneuverability; plus it has also allowed the increasing of internal space for the same size and weight of the boats, so the client who buys a boat today gets a better all-round experience at sea compared to a few years ago.

In this episode I peel back the curtain (it seems I've been doing a lot of that lately!) on what's driving me in this podcast.
Over the course of these past few years, as I've been producing this podcast, I've simultaneously been going through my own growth process. And as you know, that's often not a straight, clean, easy line, but more often a crazy, winding and bumpy ride.
The fortunate part of that, though, is that all along I've been continuously exploring how this podcast is meshing with my purpose, and what that purpose is!

Recently, the infrared Herschel Space Observatory, has taken a series of beautiful high-resolution infrared images of Andromeda. It is the first time we can see M31, at these wavelengths, at such a high resolution.
Just four months after the final data package from the GOCE satellite mission was delivered, researchers are laying out a rich harvest of scientific results, with the promise of more to come.
The criteria for life on other planets is the focus of the 4th Australian Exoplanet Workshop, hosted by the University of Southern Queensland this week. The first in this series on exoplanets looks at the story so far in the search for life elsewhere in the universe.
Researchers discover that two clouds belong to the same complex.
Competitors have a shot at a share of $5 million in prize money and an opportunity to participate in space exploration and technology development, to include a chance at flying their very own CubeSat to the moon and beyond as secondary payload on the first integrated flight of NASA's Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System rocket.
How do galaxies like our Milky Way form, and just how do they evolve? Are galaxies affected by their surrounding environment? An international team of researchers proposes some answers. The researchers highlight the role of the 'cosmic web' on the evolution of galaxies that took place in the distant universe, a few billion years after the Big Bang.
A short but significant 'thud' was heard by the Cometary Acoustic Surface Sounding Experiment (CASSE) as Philae made its first touchdown on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The two-second recording from space is the very first of the contact between a man-made object with a comet upon landing.
How to estimate the magnetic field of an exoplanet?
Scientists developed a new method which allows to estimate the magnetic field of a distant exoplanet, i.e., a planet, which is located outside the Solar system and orbits a different star.
A team of scientists hope to trace the origins of gamma-ray bursts with the aid of giant space 'microphones.' Researchers are trying to work out the possible sounds scientists might expect to hear when the ultra-sensitive LIGO and Virgo detectors are switched on in 2015.
Observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope have revealed alignments over the largest structures ever discovered in the universe. A research team has found that the rotation axes of the central supermassive black holes in a sample of quasars are parallel to each other over distances of billions of light-years. Also found was that the rotation axes of these quasars tend to be aligned with the structures in the cosmic web in which they reside.
For years physicists have been looking for the universe's elusive dark matter, but so far no one has seen any trace of it. Maybe we are looking in the wrong place? Now physicists from University of Southern Denmark propose a new technique to detect dark matter.

BioM: Van Horn, Vivian (1937)
Contact: Crystal Wendt
Email: crystal@wiclarkcountyhistory.org
Surnames: Van Horn, Esser, Sheridan, Michels
----Sources: Humbird Enterprise (Humbird, Wis.) 3 July 1937
Van Horn, Vivian (Marriage - 24 June 1937)
Miss Vivian Van Horn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harmon Van Horn, became the happy bride of Robert Esser, of Alma Center, at St. Joseph's church, Fairview, at 9:30 o'clock Thursday morning, June 24, 1937. Rev. James Sheridan was the celebrant of the nuptial high mass at which the double ring ceremony was used.
The bride was attired in a white satin dress cut on princess lines with a trailing veil fashioned after the present queen of England's coronation veil. The bride's maid, Miss Helen Michels, cousin of the groom, was becomingly gowned in yellow organdy; and the maid of honor, Miss Ruth Esser, sister of the groom, was prettily attired in a green cord lace gown. Each young lady carried a beautiful bouquet of green flowers and wore a head band of rhinestones.
The groom and his attendants, George Michels, cousins of the groom, and Leo Esser, brother of the groom, wore the usual dark suits and wore bouquets of yellow roses.
Giles, brother of the groom, was ring bearer, and Corrine, sister of the bride, was flower girl. Both were dressed in white.
The bride's home was decorated with yellow and white, and was the scene of a fine dinner at which about seventy-five guests were served. In the evening a fine crowd attended the wedding dance at the Lakeshore pavilion at Hixton.
The happy couple intends to make a short tour of northern Wisconsin and Canada, and on their return will engage in business in Alma Center.
The bride and groom are both graduates of the Alma Center High School. Both have had employment in and near Alma Center, and have a wide circle of friends who join in wishing them much success and happiness.


Who is the man in the arena from Theodore Roosevelt's famous speech?
The man in the arena is everyone who has chosen to live their own lives.
They accept victory and failure alike. They know that they are responsible for their lives.
Those who criticize have no power over them.
There are no mistakes in life if you are out there trying every day. Victory and failure are inseparable. If you first have victory you still must learn from failure. You will stumble, but you will learn and grow. Victory will come again.
If you begin with failure, you will no longer fear it. You will have earned your victory and you will remember your failures. Your humbleness will keep you from becoming the critic.
Criticizing someone else means that you've given up on yourself. Their "victory" comes from the failure of others. But what life is that. Live your life, be "the man in the arena". The critics have already lost.
What do these quotes mean to you?
