Bill Moyers on Scott Pruitt
Video: Scott Pruitt Will Make America Great — For Polluters
In this exclusive web essay, Bill Moyers takes on President Trump's choice to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt has a track record of putting the business interests of the energy sector before the environmental and health interests of the public. He has spent his career fighting the rules and regulations of the agency he is now being nominated to lead. His expected confirmation threatens to make America great for polluters again.
I'm Bill Moyers, here with a horror story — a story of corruption so daring, so devious and so dangerous it could kill you. It could poison your drinking water, contaminate your neighborhood and make your children very, very sick.
Let's begin with a television commercial that I chanced to see on CNN during Donald Trump's inaugural weekend. Take a look.
ADVERTISEMENT:The US Senate will vote to confirm Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. He's used transparent, smart regulations to protect our air and water without stifling development of America's abundant natural resources.
BILL MOYERS: That's an ad sponsored by one of the biggest and most powerful trade associations in the country — the National Association of Manufacturers. The NAM ran three ads like it during inaugural week, all of them aimed at bringing public pressure to bear on the US Senate to confirm Scott Pruitt as head of the Environmental Protection Agency. And just who, you might ask, is Scott Pruitt?
SCOTT PRUITT: It is an honor and a privilege to be before you today to be considered for the position of EPA administrator.
MOYERS: Pruitt is Oklahoma's attorney general. His salary of more than $260,000 is paid by taxpayers, but Pruitt really works for the energy industry. He's a political profiteer whose career in public office is built on taking money from corporations and doing their bidding.
SEN. SHELDON WHITEHOUSE (D-RI): It appears that a great deal of your fundraising comes from these organizations who are in the energy sector and devoted to fighting climate change.
MOYERS: At Pruitt's recent confirmation hearings before Congress, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island tried to unravel the web of corporate influence around Scott Pruitt.
WHITEHOUSE: Devon Energy, Koch Industries, ExxonMobil have all maxed out to that account, at various times.
PRUITT: I'm not aware if they have maxed out or not, Senator, but I'm sure that they have given to that committee.
MOYERS: Now, take a look at this letter. In 2011 the Environmental Protection Agency was trying to limit methane gas leaking from drilling operations like that of Devon Energy, one of those oil and gas companies that donate to him. Pruitt wrote the EPA on behalf of the company. Turns out the letter was drafted, almost to the word, by lawyers for Devon Energy.
PRUITT: That is the letter that is on my letterhead that was sent to the EPA, yes. With respect to the issue —
SEN. JEFF MERKLEY (D-OR): Do you acknowledge that 97 percent of the words in that letter came directly from Devon Energy?
PRUITT: I have not looked at the percentages, sir.
MERKLEY: You used your office as a direct extension of an oil company, rather than a direct extension of the interests of the public health of the people of Oklahoma.
MOYERS: Something else: As attorney general Scott Pruitt has sued the Environmental Protection Agency 14 times. The New York Times found that 13 of those lawsuits included co-parties that had given money to Pruitt's campaign or to an affiliated PAC. Most of the suits failed. But that didn't deter Pruitt or his donors. According to the publication Energy and Environment News, the more he sued, the more the energy dollars rolled in.
So why does Donald Trump want a lackey for the big energy companies to run the agency charged with protecting the public from pollution? And why did the National Association of Manufacturers run ads like this for a man so obviously not a defender of the public interest?
Because Trump and the industry can count Pruitt on their side, as his record shows, in preventing the EPA from holding big business accountable for the environment and public safety. After all, when he became attorney general of Oklahoma, he shut down the state's environmental enforcement unit.
SEN. ED MARKEY (D-MA): Honestly, people are going to think that it's not just the fox guarding the hen house, it's the fox destroying the hen house because you haven't distanced yourself from the actual litigation that you have initiated on most of the key issues that you are now going to have responsibility for protecting in terms of the public health of the entire country.
PRUITT: And Senator, I can say to you unequivocally, I will recuse as directed by EPA ethics counsel.
MOYERS: Scott Pruitt fits right into Trump's world. In his first week in office Donald Trump has aimed a sledgehammer at the EPA. Within hours of his swearing in, he ordered a freeze on all new environmental rules pending review, suspended all federal environmental grants and contracts, thus stalling billions of dollars that were heading to key operations like air pollution monitoring, water quality testing and environmental research.
Then he ordered all outward communication from the EPA to stop — no social media, no conferences, no meetings between the agency and the public. So if you want to know if there's work being done to clean up a superfund site, too bad. If you want to know the role of fracking in Oklahoma's earthquakes, sorry. Whether the emissions of an industry in your hometown comply with federal safety laws? You'll have to guess.
And there's more. He's opposed climate science.
PRUITT: As I indicated in my opening statement, the climate is changing and human activity contributes to that in some manner.
SEN. BERNIE SANDERS (I-VT): In some manner? Ninety-seven percent of the scientists who wrote articles in peer-reviewed journals believe that human activity is the fundamental reason we are seeing climate change; you disagree with that?
PRUITT: I believe the ability to measure with precision the degree of human activities' impact on the climate, is subject to more debate on whether the climate is changing or whether human activity contributes to it.
MOYERS: We should remember that Richard Nixon, a Republican president, signed the legislation creating the Environmental Protection Agency back in l970. It was part of the movement to restore a country that had been despoiled by industrial abuse.
PRESIDENT RICHARD NIXON: The environmental agenda before the Congress includes laws to deal with water pollution, pesticide hazards, ocean dumping, excessive noise, careless land development and many other environmental problems. These problems will not stand still for politics or for partisanship.
MOYERS: Trump's wrecking crew says environmental regulations impede the progress and profits of companies. But if you think those companies and their so-called "free market" will, without safety provisions, make America great again. Well here's is what turning back the clock could look like:
These are the EPA's own photographs taken for the record as the agency began its work. Rivers were polluted. Lead gasoline threatened the developing brains of children. Trash choked harbors, and illegal dumping leached into groundwater, agricultural run off suffocated marine waterways. Unfettered industries were running our country to ruin. There, before your eyes, is our past.
It's no wonder the founders of our government feared corruption in high office. They knew it could lead to bribery, nepotism and the abuse of power by a government aligned with the great monied interests — such as the East India Tea Company. They knew it could enable of public officials to neglect their duty to the public and serve instead the design of wealth.
At the end of the first week of Donald Trump's first hundred days, those founders must be turning in their graves.

Bugula Island in Kalangala District
Buvuma, Uganda
Size under contract (leased or purchased area, in ha)
[2003] 6500
Size in operation (production, in ha)
Original plan was to have a 10,000ha nucleus estate, but private partner negotiated for 6500ha. There is conflicting information whether the land lease is in fact 10 000hectares instead of 6500 hectares. One report states that: 5,500 hectares of land were allocated from the Sempa Family, and 3,000 hectares out of public land in the same district for this project. 18000acres have been cleared. IFAD 2011 report states: "As a result of the new negotiations with BIDCO Oil Refineries Ltd. (Kenya) nucleus estate was increased to 6,500ha and the 3,500ha for smallholder development maintained,thereby bringing the total area planted to 10,000 ha." New information indicates that 6225ha have been leased at Kalangala with and additional 6500ha which has been purchased at Buvuma. A portion of the land on Buvuma will be used for infrastructure and other purposes. The second phase of the project, an additional 10 000 hectares, will expand the production onto several more islands, including Buvuma Island in Mukono District- government claims to have secured the land from communities on willing buyer willing seller with the company gaining 10 000ha (4000ha from outgrowers)- this land is still to be handed over to the investor (October 2017). Overall aim is 40000ha under palm oil, 30000ha of which under contract farming- expansion already starting on the mainland.

"The current land under lease to Bidco at Bugala (Kalangala) is I think 6,225 hectares. Thus far a further 6,500 ha has been purchased at Buvuma with another 1600ha possibly to be purchased. This will be the "gross" amount, of which up to 25% (I think) could be for infrastructure, the buffer strip, unusable and used for other purposes."

Consultation of local community
Not consulted
Comment on consultation of local community
The company states " Prior to project commencement, there was extensive consultation with the affected communities, including public hearings. The project was initiated with support from the communities and local and district leadership". Other data sources states that no consultation occurred.
How did the community react?
Community reaction
Mixed reaction
Comment on community reaction
Community outcries for the project to be reformed or shut-down have been ignored. Affected communities are demanding the return of land improperly taken, guarantees for the protection of community land rights, compensation for crop damage, and long term protection of community forests, water, and other natural resources. On 19 February 2015, a group of farmers filed a lawsuit against Bidco Uganda and Amos Ssempa, who leased the land to Opul.
Displacement of people
Comment on displacement of people
Around 100 small scale farmers and their families. One report states that thousands of community members have been displaced.
Promised or received compensation
Promised compensation (e.g. for damages or resettlements)
Some of the displaced received new land. Some reports suggest that the community received inadequate compensation (ranging from Shs 100 000 to 1.5million) for their land and that international norms and national laws were broken. The report also claims the communities suffer from degraded water sources. Another report states that the squatters were offered between $35 and $200.
Promised benefits for local communities
Productive infrastructure (e.g. irrigation, tractors, machinery...)
Comment on promised benefits for local communities
infrastructure – such as electric power, roads, ferries and medical facilities
Former use
Former land owner (not by constitution)
Former land owner
Private (large-scale farm)
Comment on former land owner
5,500 hectares of land were allocated from the Sempa Family, and 3,000 hectares out of public land in the same district for this project. However the land was occupied by illegal squatters, as it was not being used by the Sempa Family.
Former land use
Comment on former land use
The Sempa family were not using the land. Illegal squatters were growing coffee, bananas, cassava and potatoes on some of the land.
Former land cover
Cropland
Shrub land/Grassland (Rangeland)
Comment on former land cover
Approximately 3600 hectares of natural forest was removed to plant oil palms- causing severe environmental degradation and water pollution. The operations occur on an island of Lake Victoria which has high biodiversity.
Has domestic use
Comment on use of produce
when it is complete the project is expected to produce double the current consumption when it is complete, suggesting that a large proportion will actually be destined for export (FoE International 2013
Comment on in country processing of produce
Oil processing facility at Jinja. The refinery was established in 2005.
Water extraction envisaged
Source of water extraction
Surface water (Lake)
Gender-related info
Any gender-specific information about the investment and its impacts
Comment on gender-related info
A study on the gender impacts found that women do not benefit from the plantation. The project could further marginalize women by closing off access to communally owned land, forests and other resources that women most rely on. One report states that 35% of the outgrowers are women.
Project supported by IFAD funding, Oilpalm Uganda provides $120m, IFAD provides $19m loan. One report states that IFAD is "directly overseeing" the project after providing a $52 million loan. Ugandan government provides $12m for land, electricity. Reports that government halted plans after 6000 ha already cleared. Land being allocated part of national forest reserves; led to public protests. Other report says project has provided incomes and improved infrastructure. Biggest palm oil producer in the country.

Here's Why You Should Trade Today's Vaccine News Differently…
D.R. Barton, Jr. Email D.R.@drbartonjr
Another Monday, another bit of good news from a Covid vaccine trial. It's Groundhog Day – over and over (Could JNJ news be up next Monday?).
This time it was AstraZeneca plc (AZN) that released preliminary data on the vaccine against Covid-19 that it's been working on with Oxford University. Unlike Pfizer Inc.'s (PFE) and Moderna Inc.'s (MRNA) two vaccines that scored around 95% and 94.5% efficacy rates, AstraZeneca's has an efficacy of about 70%. The AZN vaccine does have some distribution benefits since it requires only standard refrigeration.
If anything, this latest bit of news is even more impressive than what we've seen before. Pfizer and Moderna used new mRNA technology to get vaccines for Covid-19 out in record time.
Meanwhile, AstraZeneca and Oxford University used existing vaccine technology to make a vaccine in under a year, rather than the several years it usually takes. So did Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), which should be announcing its preliminary results soon as well.
Why 2021 Could Give You Massive Profit Windfalls
Over the last two weeks, as not one but two different Covid-19 vaccine candidates have reported incredible efficacy that few could have even dared to hope for so quickly, the market has turned its bullish stance into hyper drive.
Yesterday, I made an appearance on Fox Business' Varney & Co. to discuss the stampede of bulls we're seeing towards the end of this year and whether or not that momentum is likely to carry over into the new year.
Obviously getting more and more of the population inoculated against Covid-19 will do wonders for the economy and market in 2021, but that's not the only reason I'm bullish as we put 2020 in the rearview mirror.
Check out the recording below to learn what else is going to continue to drive markets up. I'll also show you why Walmart Inc. (WMT) is one of my favorite buys right now.

As consequence, the separation, the desunio, the fight.

He was exactly in this state of things that appeared Heifer of Menezes, in order to balance the esprita movement, becoming it strong, coeso and insurance, in the direction to create conditions so that Brazil could fulfill its mission of supplier of the Evangelho to the world.

#BlackLivesMatter week
Not a moment, but a movement
Francesca Quigley, Staff Writer|October 23, 2015
"Every 28 hours, a black person who is unarmed is murdered in the United States by a police officer, a vigilante or a security guard," said Opal Tometi, co-founder of Black Lives Matter. "That's happening many times with impunity, and we see this as a pandemic."
The Black Lives Matter movement began after 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was killed by George Zimmerman in 2012. Zimmerman was later acquitted.
Since 2012, the movement has developed into multiple chapters around the country and continues to organize and act in response to state violence against bodies of color using a multitude of methods, one being the scheduling of particular Black Lives Matter weeks in different areas.
Senior Teresa Bedzigui began organizing a Black Lives Matter week at Guilford when she was contacted by Patrisse Cullors' agent, who let Bedzigui know that Cullors, co-founder of the movement, would be in the area speaking at Duke University. Bedzigui was immediately interested, but worried it was a long shot.
"In that moment I realized, this is big," said Bedzigui. "This needs to happen and I got to campus with that on my mind."
"I got here and I was like, this black woman needs to come through. We need to create space for her on this historically and predominantly white campus. It just needs to happen."
Happen it did. Cullors will spend an evening at Guilford during #BLM week on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m. in Dana Auditorium, and that speech is not the only event happening during the week.
"This week of events is important to the development of representation at Guilford," said junior and co-organizer of #BLM week Brandee Craig.
"How can we preach about diversity, equality and acceptance when almost every speaker that is in the Bryan Series is white, cis, or has a high level of education? We connect and learn more when our actions match with our words."
Events for #BLM week at Guilford will continue through Friday, Oct. 30, 2015. On Wednesday, there will be a "Black Lives Matter" local panel in the Leak room of Duke Hall on which students, professors, and local organizers will speak.
A community speak-out about Black Lives Matter will be held on Thursday in Founders Hall at 7:30 p.m. Finally, on Friday night, residents can venture downtown to Scuppernong Books for an open mic night starting at 7:15 p.m.
"The poetry show will have pieces that speak directly to the black experience both locally and globally," said Scuppernong Books in a statement on their website.
"As we are celebrating black lives, it is important that the community gathers to share stories, wisdom and love."
Social media, along with other tools such as protests, community meetings and more, is widely used for spreading the word about the Black Lives Matter movement.
The creation of the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag went viral and boosted the movement's reknown early on.
The Black Lives Matter website contains background and current news along with ways to get connected and involved with the Black Lives Matter movement. You have a few days. Study up!

Q: Creating a segue programmatically I have a common UIViewController that all my UIViewsControllers extend to reuse some common operations.
I want to set up a segue on this "Common" UIViewController so that all the other UIViewControllers inherit.
I am trying to figure out how do I do that programmatically.
I guess that the question could also be how do I set a segue for all my UIViewControllers without going into the story board and do them by hand.

A: I've been using this code to instantiate my custom segue subclass and run it programmatically. It seems to work. Anything wrong with this? I'm puzzled, reading all the other answers saying it cannot be done.
UIViewController *toViewController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"OtherViewControllerId"];
MyCustomSegue *segue = [[MyCustomSegue alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"" source:self destination:toViewController];
[self prepareForSegue:segue sender:sender];
[segue perform];

A: Guess this is answered and accepted, but I just would like to add a few more details to it.
What I did to solve a problem where I would present a login-view as first screen and then wanted to segue to the application if login were correct. I created the segue from the login-view controller to the root view controller and gave it an identifier like "myidentifier".
Then after checking all login code if the login were correct I'd call
[self performSegueWithIdentifier: @"myidentifier" sender: self];

My biggest misunderstanding were that I tried to put the segue on a button and kind of interrupt the segue once it were found.

A: I thought I would add another possibility. One of the things you can do is you can connect two scenes in a storyboard using a segue that is not attached to an action, and then programmatically trigger the segue inside your view controller. The way you do this, is that you have to drag from the file's owner icon at the bottom of the storyboard scene that is the segueing scene, and right drag to the destination scene. I'll throw in an image to help explain.

A popup will show for "Manual Segue". I picked Push as the type. Tap on the little square and make sure you're in the attributes inspector. Give it an identifier which you will use to refer to it in code.

Ok, next I'm going to segue using a programmatic bar button item. In viewDidLoad or somewhere else I'll create a button item on the navigation bar with this code:
UIBarButtonItem *buttonizeButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Buttonize"
                                                                    style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone
                                                                   target:self
                                                                   action:@selector(buttonizeButtonTap:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = @[buttonizeButton];

Ok, notice that the selector is buttonizeButtonTap:. So write a void method for that button and within that method you will call the segue like this:
-(void)buttonizeButtonTap:(id)sender{
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"Associate" sender:sender];
    }

The sender parameter is required to identify the button when prepareForSegue is called. prepareForSegue is the framework method where you will instantiate your scene and pass it whatever values it will need to do its work. Here's what my method looks like:
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"Associate"])
    {
        TranslationQuizAssociateVC *translationQuizAssociateVC = [segue destinationViewController];
        translationQuizAssociateVC.nodeID = self.nodeID; //--pass nodeID from ViewNodeViewController
        translationQuizAssociateVC.contentID = self.contentID;
        translationQuizAssociateVC.index = self.index;
        translationQuizAssociateVC.content = self.content;
    }
}

I tested it and it works.

A: You have to link your code to the UIStoryboard that you're using. Make sure you go into YourViewController in your UIStoryboard, click on the border around it, and then set its identifier field to a NSString that you call in your code.
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard"
                                                     bundle:nil];
YourViewController *yourViewController =
 (YourViewController *)
  [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"yourViewControllerID"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:yourViewController animated:YES];

A: well , you can create and also can subclass the UIStoryBoardSegue . subclassing is mostly used for giving custom transition animation.
you can see video of wwdc 2011 introducing StoryBoard. its available in youtube also.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIStoryboardSegue_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/UIStoryboardSegue

A: Storyboard Segues are not to be created outside of the storyboard. You will need to wire it up, despite the drawbacks.
UIStoryboardSegue Reference clearly states:

You do not create segue objects directly. Instead, the storyboard
  runtime creates them when it must perform a segue between two view
  controllers. You can still initiate a segue programmatically using the
  performSegueWithIdentifier:sender: method of UIViewController if you
  want. You might do so to initiate a segue from a source that was added
  programmatically and therefore not available in Interface Builder.

You can still programmatically tell the storyboard to present a view controller using a segue using presentModalViewController: or pushViewController:animated: calls, but you'll need a storyboard instance.
You can call UIStoryboards class method to get a named storyboard with bundle nil for the main bundle.
storyboardWithName:bundle:

A: I'd like to add a clarification...
A common misunderstanding, in fact one that I had for some time, is that a storyboard segue is triggered by the prepareForSegue:sender: method. It is not. A storyboard segue will perform, regardless of whether you have implemented a prepareForSegue:sender: method for that (departing from) view controller.
I learnt this from Paul Hegarty's excellent iTunesU lectures. My apologies but unfortunately cannot remember which lecture.
If you connect a segue between two view controllers in a storyboard, but do not implement a prepareForSegue:sender: method, the segue will still segue to the target view controller. It will however segue to that view controller unprepared.
Hope this helps.

A: First of, suppose you have two different views in storyboard, and you want to navigate from one screen to another, so follow this steps:
1). Define all your views with class file and also storyboard id in identity inspector.
2). Make sure you add a navigation controller to the first view. Select it in the Storyboard and then Editor >Embed In > Navigation Controller
3). In your first class, import the "secondClass.h"
#import "ViewController.h
#import "secondController.h"

4). Add this command in the IBAction that has to perform the segue
secondController *next=[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"second"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:next animated:YES];

5). @"second" is secondview controller class, storyboard id.

A: By definition a segue can't really exist independently of a storyboard.  It's even there in the name of the class: UIStoryboardSegue.  You don't create segues programmatically - it is the storyboard runtime that creates them for you.  You can normally call performSegueWithIdentifier: in your view controller's code, but this relies on having a segue already set up in the storyboard to reference.
What I think you are asking though is how you can create a method in your common view controller (base class) that will transition to a new view controller, and will be inherited by all derived classes.  You could do this by creating a method like this one to your base class view controller:
- (IBAction)pushMyNewViewController
{
    MyNewViewController *myNewVC = [[MyNewViewController alloc] init];

    // do any setup you need for myNewVC

    [self presentModalViewController:myNewVC animated:YES];
}

and then in your derived class, call that method when the appropriate button is clicked or table row is selected or whatever.

A: For controllers that are in the storyboard.
jhilgert00 is this what you were looking for?
-(IBAction)nav_goHome:(id)sender {
UIViewController *myController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"HomeController"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController: myController animated:YES];

}

OR...
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"loginMainSegue" sender:self];

A: I reverse-engineered and made an open source (re)implementation of UIStoryboard's segues: https://github.com/acoomans/Segway
With that library, you can define segues programmatically (without any storyboard).
Hope it may help.

A: A couple of problems, actually:
First, in that project you uploaded for us, the segue does not bear the "segue1" identifier:
no identifier
You should fill in that identifier if you haven't already.
Second, as you're pushing from table view to table view, you're calling initWithNibName to create a view controller. You really want to use instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier.

A: Here is the code sample for Creating a segue programmatically:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    ...
    // 1. Define the Segue
    private var commonSegue: UIStoryboardSegue!
    ...
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        ...
        // 2. Initialize the Segue
        self.commonSegue = UIStoryboardSegue(identifier: "CommonSegue", source: ..., destination: ...) {
            self.commonSegue.source.showDetailViewController(self.commonSegue.destination, sender: self)
        }
        ...
    }
    ...
    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
        // 4. Prepare to perform the Segue
        if self.commonSegue == segue {
            ...
        }
        ...
    }
    ...
    func actionFunction() {
        // 3. Perform the Segue
        self.prepare(for: self.commonSegue, sender: self)
        self.commonSegue.perform()
    }
    ...
}

Home>Assembly Business>Third Assembly (2007 - 2011)>Legislation (2007 - 2011)>Subordinate Legislation
Subordinate Legislation
Subordinate legislation is the laws brought forward by Ministers under powers delegated by an Act or Measure of the Assembly or by an Act of Parliament.
In passing an Act, the Assembly approves its principles, general objectives and important points of detail. However, the Act will usually give Welsh Ministers, or some other body, powers to make detailed rules and regulations or compel action relating to how the main law is implemented.
Subordinate Legislation is also referred to as secondary legislation, delegated legislation or statutory instruments. It includes orders, regulations, rules and schemes, and can include statutory guidance and local orders.
The Assembly procedures relevant to most Subordinate Legislation are set out in Standing Orders 24 and 25. Subordinate Legislation was scrutinised by the Constitutional Affairs Committee under Standing Order 15.
Subordinate Legislation Subject to Approval
A small proportion of the most important legislation is subject to approval (the affirmative procedure) and has to be formally approved by the Assembly before it takes effect.
Subordinate Legislation Subject to Annulment
Most Subordinate Legislation is subject to annulment (the negative procedure), which takes effect subject to the power of the Assembly resolves to annul it.
Subordinate Legislation - Other
"Subordinate Legislation – Other" includes legislation for which no formal procedure is prescribed other than that it be laid before the Assembly. Other subordinate legislation (such as road closure orders) can be found on the National Archives website, and will not appear here.
Breach of the 21 Day Rule Letters
According to the Government of Wales Act 2006 if an instrument is not laid before the National Assembly at least 21 days before it comes into operation, notification must be sent to the Presiding Officer.
Statutory Instruments Made Jointly with the Secretary of State
Instruments which are made jointly by Welsh Assembly Ministers and the Secretary of State have to be laid before the Assembly and Parliament (these are not considered by the Subordinate Legislation Committee as per Standing Order 15.7 (ii))
Orders which follow Special Assembly Procedures
A special procedure order is a piece of delegated legislation. Orders, to which Special Assembly Procedure applies, cannot be made or confirmed by the Minister until the procedures laid down by Standing Order 25 have been complied with.
Standing Order 25 includes provision for petitions to be presented to the Assembly's Presiding Officer against the draft special procedure Order. The Presiding Officer has produced written guidance for presenting such a petition.

It's Christmastime at a bar in Toronto.
Julia is a young woman sitting in her usual spot, trying to forget her own tragic history. She chats with the usual suspects – strange men trying to hit on her, and women looking for a shoulder to cry on. But what she doesn't realize is that most of the strangers she talks to each night… are all the same person.
Then there's Drew. He suffers from a bizarre illness. The only way he can survive is to refresh his body by inhabiting a new one… until the body is worn out and he moves on to the next. Can Drew tell Julia the truth and convince her to accept his unusual lifestyle?
Or is that just too big a life change for either of them to accept?
Lifechanger is a new fantasy/horror movie that will keep you guessing till the end.
It's written and directed by Justin McConnell (who I interviewed 5 years ago about his documentary Skull World.) Lifechanger has won multiple awards at international film festivals across North America and around the world. It co-stars Jack Foley as the romantic lead… who is also a man with a secret.
The film opens today in Toronto, Calgary and Ottawa.
I spoke with actor Jack Foley and writer/director Justin McConnell in studio at CIUT 89.5 FM.


Notice is hereby given that the annual inspection for 2018 of the Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District for fire hazards that might endanger the lives of students, teachers, and employees therein, has been completed and the report is available at the district office for inspection by all interested persons.
New York State Education Law requires each classroom teacher and school principal to receive an annual professional performance review (APPR) that results in a composite effectiveness score and rating. All parents/guardians have the right to obtain the APPR quality ratings and composite effectiveness scores for their child's current teacher(s) and principal(s) once they are available. To initiate this request, please contact your child's principal in their corresponding school.
As required by the EPA, the Fayetteville-Manlius Central School District has kept Asbestos Management Plans for the district. All district-owned facilities were inspected for asbestos and management plans were developed for each building according to requirements. Triennial re-inspections are conducted every three years.
All asbestos-containing materials in the school buildings are in good condition and the district will continue to manage them in place, as recommended by the accredited asbestos management planner in the district's Inspection and Management Plan.
The summary report and management plan on the visual inspection are on file and available for public review from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the ICC Building on Pride Lane behind F-M High School.
Questions concerning asbestos may be directed to Mr. Russell McCarty, Asbestos Program Designee, ICC Building, 1 Pride Lane, Manlius, NY 13104.
The right to inspect and review the student's education records with 45 days of the day of district receives a request for access. Parents or eligible students should submit to the school principal or Assistant Superintendent of Special Services a written request that identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The district official will make arrangements for access and notify the parent or eligible student to the time and place where the records may be inspected.
The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the parent or eligible student believes are inaccurate. Parents or eligible students may ask the District to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate. They should write the school principal or Assistant Superintendent of Special Services, clearly identify the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate. If the district official decides not to amend the record as requested by the parent or eligible student, the District will notify the parent or eligible student of the decision and advise them of their right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the parent or eligible student when notified of the right to a hearing.
a. One exception, which permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the district as an administrator, supervisor, instructor, or support staff member (including health or medical staff and law enforcement unit personnel); a person serving on the District Board of Education; a person or company with whom the district has contracted to perform a special task (such as an attorney, auditor, medical consultant, or therapist); or a parent or student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another district official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibility.
Photographs and video/digital images are also considered to be "directory information" by the district. Videotapes, digital movies and or photographs may be shared with the public through, for example, public media outlets, the district newsletters, reports, web site and other district communications, unless the parent/guardian or eligible student requests, in writing, that videotapes, digital movies or photographs of the student not be publicized.
Two federal laws require the district to provide military recruiters and institutions of higher education, upon request, with three directory information categories of its secondary students: names, addresses and telephone numbers, unless parents or eligible student have advised the district that they do not want this information disclosed without their prior written consent. Those parents/guardians or eligible students who do not want directory information released and/or do not want videotapes or photographs published and/or do not want the limited release of directory information to military recruiters and/or institutions of higher education, must notify the district in writing regarding the desired limitations on release of directory information.
Written requests should be sent to: Lisa A. Miori-Dinneen, Assistant Superintendent of Special Services, Fayetteville-Manlius School District, 8199 E. Seneca Turnpike, Manlius, NY 13104.
c. The district, as authorized by FERPA, discloses personally identifiable student information without consent to the schools, school systems or institutions of post secondary education in which a student seeks or intends to enroll or that are providing services to the student, upon receiving a request from any such institution. Parents/guardians or eligible students can receive a copy of all information disclosed upon request.
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failure by the Fayetteville-Manlius School District to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, D.C. 20202-4605.
Policy and procedures governing the particular matter covered by Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 are available for inspection at the District Office.
As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to figure out the student's body mass index or 'BMI'. The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student's weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status group be included as part of the student's school health examination. A sample of school districts will be selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. If Fayetteville-Manlius is selected to be part of the survey, we will be reporting to New York State Department of Health information about our students' weight status groups. Only summary information is sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose to have your child's information excluded from this survey report.
If you do not wish to have your child's weight status group information included as part of the Health Department's survey this year, please contact your child's school nurse.
Parents have the right to inspect and review the complete contents of their child's education record, including any student data maintained by the Fayetteville-Manlius School District. This right of inspection of records is consistent with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Under the more recently adopted regulations (Education Law §2-d), the rights of inspection are extended to include data, meaning parents have the right to inspect or receive copies of any data in their child's educational record. The New York State Education Department (SED) will develop further policies and procedures related to these rights in the future.
Parents have the right to have complaints about possible breaches of student data addressed. Complaints should be directed to: Mary Coughlin, Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, Fayetteville-Manlius School District, 8199 E. Seneca Turnpike, Manlius, NY 13104.

Cluster spacecraft catch crashing waves in Earth's magnetic bubble
Press Release From: University of California Berkeley
Posted: Thursday, August 12, 2004
Image: Three-dimensional computer simulation of the space waves or vortices that inject the solar wind plasma into the Earth's magnetic field. Green-blue areas represent the solar wind plasma, and red-orange areas represent plasma trapped in Earth's magnetic field. Earth's magnetosphere develops ripples and folds like a flag in the wind as the solar wind blows past. This turbulence creates rolling waves on the edges of the magnetosphere that engulf the solar wind into the magnetosphere (see orange wavelike structure in the cut-away portion of the image). The blue, green and orange swirl behind the wave is the vortex that mixes the solar wind into the magnetosphere. The vortices are huge structures, measuring more than 20,000 miles across. (Kentaro Tanaka of Tokyo Institute of Technology)
A bevy of satellites buzzing around in the Earth's magnetosphere has found at least part of the answer to a long-standing puzzle about the source of the charged particles that feed the aurora.
The charged particles come from explosions on the sun and smash into the Earth's magnetic field, which repels the bulk of them. But many slip through, often via a physical process called magnetic reconnection, where the magnetic field traveling with the particles breaks and reconnects with the Earth's field, opening a window for the particles to surge through. Once inside, these excited particles can spiral down toward the poles and create brilliant auroras when they hit the atmosphere.
But magnetic reconnection happens only when the solar wind's magnetic field direction is 180 degrees opposite from that of the magnetic field of the Earth. When the two fields are aligned, there is no obvious physical process allowing entry of charged particles, at least at the leading edge of the Earth's magnetosphere.
Three years ago, however, the four satellites of the Cluster mission, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), passed through the tail of the Earth's magnetic field, which stretches hundreds of thousands of miles in the shadow of the Earth, and observed a new process that could allow entry of the solar wind particles.
The satellite data revealed eddies and vortices in Earth's magnetosphere. These waves are kicked up by the solar wind as it blows past the magnetosphere. If these vortices, called non-linear Kelvin-Helmholtz waves, detach and spin off into Earth's magnetosphere, they could carry charged particles from the solar wind inside - enough to explain the hot, magnetically charged gas, or plasma, stored inside the tail of Earth's field.
"The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability has often been ignored as an important solar wind entry process," said Tai Phan, a space physicist at the University of California, Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory and a co-author of the paper. "Thanks to its multi-spacecraft measurements, Cluster has now proven the existence of these large-scale vortices that could lead to substantial entry of solar wind to populate the Earth's magnetosphere."
Phan, lead-author Hiroshi Hasegawa of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and their colleagues in Japan and Europe report their conclusions in the Aug. 12 issue of Nature.
A solar wind of charged particles blows incessantly past the Earth, compressing its magnetic field and pulling it into a teardrop shape pointing away from the sun. Periodic solar storms pump up the wind and send more particles toward Earth, which create atmospheric disturbances - auroras, magnetic storms, and radiation belt storms - that can affect satellites as well as radio communications. The goal of the Cluster mission and numerous other Earth satellites is to understand how space weather affects the Earth environment.
One big question is how these charged particles penetrate the protective magnetic field and fill up the magnetic bubble around Earth, and what triggers these particles to suddenly flame down onto the poles, creating colorful auroras. Magnetic reconnection explains the entry of charged particles when the solar wind magnetic field is anti-parallel to the Earth's field, but when the fields are parallel, they should present an impenetrable barrier to this flow. Spacecraft measurements dating to 1987 clearly show, however, that the magnetosphere is three to five times fuller when the fields are aligned than when they are not. So how is the solar wind getting in?
Part of the answer came on Nov. 20, 2001, when the Cluster flotilla was heading around from behind the Earth and had just arrived at the dusk side of the planet, where the solar wind slides past the Earth's magnetosphere. There it began to encounter gigantic vortices of gas at the magnetopause, the outer edge of the magnetosphere.
"People have seen waves on the surface of the magnetosphere, but they couldn't tell if they were small ripples or crashing, rolling waves," Phan said. "You have to have big vortices to get the solar wind inside."
"These vortices were really huge structures, about six Earth radii across," said Hasegawa. The team's results place the size of the vortices at almost 40,000 kilometers each.
These vortices are products of non-linear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which occur when two adjacent flows travel past each other at different speeds and the friction between them kicks up eddies and vortices. Examples of such instabilities are the waves whipped up by the wind slipping across the surface of the ocean. When a KHI-wave rolls up into a vortex, it becomes known as a "Kelvin Cat's eye." The data collected by Cluster have shown density variations of the electrified gas at the magnetopause precisely like those expected when traveling through a Kelvin Cat's eye.
Scientists had postulated that, if these structures were to form at the magnetopause, they might be able to pull large quantities of the solar wind inside the magnetosphere as they collapse. Once the solar wind particles are carried into the inner part of the magnetosphere, they can be excited strongly, allowing them to smash into the Earth's atmosphere and give rise to the auroras.
Cluster's discovery strengthens this scenario but does not show the precise mechanism by which the gas is transported into the Earth's magnetic bubble. Thus, scientists still do not know whether this is the only process to fill up the magnetosphere when the magnetic fields are aligned. For those measurements, Hasegawa said, scientists will have to wait for a future generation of magnetospheric satellites.
Phan, in fact, suspects there are other mechanisms that allow entry of solar wind particles when the solar wind and Earth's field's are parallel. Detection last year by UC Berkeley scientists of a proton aurora over the Earth's poles may indicate that magnetic reconnection around the Earth's polar regions, instead of at the bow of the magnetosphere, can allow particles in.
The Cluster satellites, built by ESA with significant participation from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, were launched in summer 2000. The Cluster mission investigates three-dimensional structures throughout the Earth's magnetosphere and solar wind. NASA supports U.S.-based researchers associated with the mission.
"These multi-point, high time-resolution observations open a new window into understanding the connection of the solar wind to the Earth's magnetosphere," said William Peterson, NASA's geospace program scientist.
Coauthors, in addition to Hasegawa and Phan, are Masaki Fujimoto, Henri R�me, Andre Balogh, Malcolm W. Dunlop and graduate students C. Hashimoto and R. TanDokoro.

AutomateWoo provides two actions for editing the coupons on a subscription created with WooCommerce Subscriptions. One action to add coupons, and one to remove them.
The Add Coupon action can be used to automatically discount future payments for a subscription by applying an existing recurring discount coupon.
Select for the coupon you wish to apply to the subscription. Only recurring coupon types are available for selection.
The coupon will discount the subscription by the amount set on the coupon. This coupon will then be applied to future renewal payments, unless the coupon is removed, either manually, by a Remove Coupon action, or automatically because it is limited to a number of payments. The same coupon code will only be added once to a subscription, so if the subscription already has the coupon applied, it will not be added.
When an Add Coupon action is run, the same validation that would be applied to the coupon when adding it to the cart or via the Edit Subscription screen will be applied. This means that the coupon will only be applied to the subscription if it fulfils all requirements, like usage restrictions.
If a coupon fails validation, it will not be applied and an error will be logged for the Workflow. These errors can be tracked on the AutomateWoo > Logs page.
The Remove Coupon action can be used to remove a discount from a subscription. If more than one coupon line item has a code matching the chosen code, all matching coupons will be removed.
When a coupon is added or removed from a subscription, a note is added to the subscription to record this action. This makes it easier to keep track of the changing coupons on a subscription over its lifecycle.
By default, Workflows in AutomateWoo run after the event that triggers the workflow. For the add / remove coupon actions to be effective, you need to choose a trigger that occurs before the first payment you want to discount.
The action should also be run as soon as possible so the subscription has the correct coupon line items and totals for the duration of the renewal cycle. This ensures the most accurate details are displayed to the subscriber on their My Account > View Subscription pages, emails and elsewhere.
Subscription Renewal Payment Complete trigger to modify the products including in the 3rd and each future renewal order.
The Add / Remove Coupon actions will only work for subscriptions using a payment gateway that supports modifications to the recurring total. This feature is necessary for coupons to be dynamically applied during a subscription's lifecycle.
Furthermore, the actions will only be available with WooCommerce version 3.2 or newer active. This version of WooCommerce introduced the functionality that makes it possible to add coupons to an order or subscription and have discount amounts correctly calculated.
Being able to dynamically add and remove coupons on a subscription has many use cases, especially when combined with AutomateWoo's advanced Rules.
Loyalty Discounts: Provide a discount to loyal subscribers after a given period, like their first year of being an active monthly subscriber.
Multi-tier Pricing: Offer products which increase or decrease in cost over their lifecycle by modifying the discounts applied to the subscriptions containing those products.
Bulk Edit Subscriptions: Change prices for active subscribers without requiring customers to resubscribe, or editing each subscription manually.
Seasonal Sales: Change the discounts a customer receives based on calendar dates for special promotions, like an exclusive Black Friday discount for active subscribers.

The Re-entry Permit (Form I-327) is a travel document similar to a certificate of identity, issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services to U.S. lawful permanent residents to allow them to travel abroad and return to the United States. It is a passport-like booklet with a blue-green cover with the words Travel Document displayed prominently on its cover. Individuals whose application for permanent residency has not yet been approved can instead apply for advance parole (Form I-512).

Purpose
The main purpose of the re-entry permit is to allow permanent residents to leave the United States for an extended amount of time without jeopardizing their permanent resident status. For short trips abroad of up to one year, the Permanent Resident Card itself allows re-entry to the United States. Permanent residents must maintain their permanent residence in the United States, else they may lose their permanent residency. Even for trips abroad of less than one year, permanent residents may be questioned as to whether they have maintained residence in the United States. Any trip abroad for one year or more automatically causes permanent residence to be lost. If a U.S. permanent resident intends to take a long trip abroad, he/she may apply for a re-entry permit. It is issued for up to two years. It establishes that the permanent resident did not intend to abandon permanent resident status.

Another purpose for the re-entry permit is to serve as an international travel document in lieu of a passport for U.S. permanent residents who are stateless, who cannot get a passport from their country, or who wish to travel to a place where they cannot use their passport. A permanent resident who obtained permanent residence as a refugee may either apply for a refugee travel document or a re-entry permit, but not both.

USCIS Form I-131 (Application for a Travel Document) is used to apply for the re-entry permit and other travel documents. A re-entry permit can only be applied for while the applicant is inside the United States.

Acceptance
, Schengen Area countries which have explicitly indicated to the Council of the European Union's Visa Working Party that they will accept the U.S. Re-entry Permit for visa issuance purposes include Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein; Slovakia has explicitly indicated they will accept it, while other countries did not provide any information on their acceptance of it. Said Re-entry Permit is stated as an "Alien's Travel Document".

Efforts to unionize workers has taken off across the country
Andrea Hsu
Published April 1, 2022 at 5:10 AM EDT
In two different parts of the country, two Amazon union elections hang in the balance. On Staten Island in New York, workers have been voting on a unionizing effort that was started by a former employee who was fired two years ago. Another election in Bessemer, Ala., is a do-over after complaints about company practices during the first vote. For more on all this, we're joined by NPR's Andrea Hsu. Andrea, lots of drama, lots of suspense here; catch us up on where we are with the count.
ANDREA HSU, BYLINE: Well, yeah, let's start in Bessemer, Ala. They finished counting the votes yesterday, and the no votes finished ahead, but it was close, and there are more than 400 challenged ballots. You know, these may be ballots from workers whose eligibility is being questioned by one side or the other. So there's going to be a hearing to determine if any of those can be counted, but we may not get a final result for weeks. Now, on Staten Island, the counting is going to resume this morning. And as of last night, the yes votes had a pretty sizable lead, but there are still quite a lot of ballots left to count.
MARTINEZ: OK. So it looks like maybe Staten Island might actually vote to unionize. How big of a deal would that be?
HSU: A huge deal, A. No Amazon facility in the U.S. is unionized. And what's especially notable is that unlike the Alabama campaign, which is backed by this national union, the one in Staten Island is truly a grassroots operation. They call themselves the Amazon Labor Union, and its leader is this guy Christian Smalls. He's in his early 30s. He was working at the Staten Island warehouse when COVID hit. And just around this time two years ago, he organized a walkout over safety concerns. Some workers had caught the virus. And he was fired that same day. Now, Amazon said he had violated COVID safety protocols. He had been asked to quarantine because of an exposure to COVID, but he showed up for the walkout. So then he launched this upstart union drive, which he financed through GoFundMe, and he got some of his former co-workers on board. And their thinking was that as insiders with access to the workers, they might have better success than an outside group.
MARTINEZ: What are the organizers asking for?
HSU: They're looking for a whole range of things, like longer lunch breaks and better health care plans and higher wages. On Staten Island at the Amazon facilities, the pay starts at $18.25 an hour, but this is New York. It's an expensive place to live. And Chris Smalls has said that a lot of workers take on second jobs to earn enough for themselves and their families, and some even rely on public assistance.
MARTINEZ: And Amazon isn't the only place seeking union activity right now.
HSU: Yeah. You know, this has been bubbling up in a lot of different places. And one place that we're watching closely is Starbucks. There has been a wave of organizing at Starbucks locations, and the elections that have taken place so far have been tiny compared to the Amazon ones because they're store by store. But the campaign is really taking off fast. Nine stores have voted to unionize so far. And these are stores in Buffalo, N.Y., Knoxville, Tenn., Mesa, Ariz., and Seattle. So they're all over the country. And more than 180 stores have filed petitions for union elections, with more added almost every day.
And what I'm hearing from workers is they want more money. They want more respect from the companies that they helped make profitable through the pandemic. Meanwhile, you know, companies like Amazon and Starbucks are pointing to the raises that they've given workers recently and the great benefits they offer. You know, at Amazon, health insurance is offered on day one to new full-time employees. And both of those companies offer education benefits, you know, tuition reimbursement. So they're saying we've done all of this without unions, and we don't need them now.
MARTINEZ: NPR's Andrew Hsu, thanks a lot.
HSU: Thanks so much, A. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

AOTW: La Femme – "Teatro Lúcido"
December 12th, 2022 by Liz Kosik
by Anabel Martin Llanusa '25
La Femme – "Teatro Lúcido"
Release: November 2022
Rated: 9/10
RIYL: Rosalia, Tatiene Hazel, L'Imperatrice, Stereolab, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Melody's Echo Chamber.
La Femme is a french "psycho" rock indie band. They released their fourth album "Teatro Lúcido" on the 4th of November and it's sung in Spanish! The band comprises a keyboard player and a guitarist, Marlon Magnée and Sacha Got. They started La Femme, added a drummer, bass player, and finally Clémence Quélennec, the lead singer- and the rest is history!
I like the uniqueness of this band because the lyrics are super weird and if you listen to this album, every song sounds like a different genre. Their music is inspired by Spanish, French, and Brazilian sounds, creating a versatile range. My favorite songs were "Sacatela", "Y tu te vas", and "Maialen." "Sacatela" was the first song I listened to and even though the lyrics are super short, it's incredibly catchy! Definitely couldn't get it out of my head!
La Femme is an innovative band and even if you can't understand the lyrics, the power is transmitted through the music.

Tony Wilson helped put Manchester on the map in the world of music beginning in the mid to late seventies. He helped shepherd bands like Joy Division (later New Order) and the Happy Mondays with his label Factory Records. 24 Hour Party People is an audacious quick look at a period that spans about two decades. Much of the movie may not make any sense, due to thick accents, anonymous bands and blurred identifiers, but the movie still has a sense of vitality and energy to it. There is something amazing going on in Manchester over this time period, and even if director Michael Winterbottom (The Claim, Wonderland) cannot fully convey it in a coherent sense, there are some bright points in the near-mess that he makes. Near-mess may actually be appropriate, since Wilson (Steve Coogan, The Parole Officer, A Small Summer Party) doesn't always know exactly what he is doing.
It all started when he attended a Sex Pistols concert in Manchester. Although there were only about forty people in the audience, the experience changed him. He wanted to make the music he liked, not what the radio was playing (a relevant issue even today). He started Factory Records, a unique model where he really has no ownership of the band. He helps them make music and the split the profits. Joy Division was the first band to come out on the label. Winterbottom and writer Frank Cottrel Boyce (The Claim, Pandemonium) jump ahead quickly, spotlighting pivotal moments in the history of Factory Records. On the eve of an American Tour, lead singer Ian Curtis (Sean Harris, Tom & Thomas, Jesus) hung himself. Later, the remaining band members reemerged to even more success as New Order. The other major band spotlighted is The Happy Mondays, and their troubled lead singer Shaun Ryder (Danny Cunningham, Loaded). Ryder's drug habits were a constant thorn in the side of Wilson. Later, Wilson and some of his partners opened The Hacienda, a club to spotlight the music they liked. The club continually lost money, and eventually fell prey to drugs and violence.
Coogan as Wilson is the most memorable aspect of 24 Hour Party People. Winterbottom jumps haphazardly from scene to scene, with very little context. Unless the viewer has a working knowledge of New Wave music, it may be hard to tell who exactly is on screen, and sometimes hard to care. But Coogan is such a vibrant and unique character that it is enough of a distraction from the film to watch him. Winterbottom has Coogan address the audience in first person, frequently giving some asides or explaining something. He also intersperses 24 Hour Party People with some of Wilson's human interest stories from his concurrent job as a television reporter. They are truly bizarre in their mundanity and contrast nicely with the madness going on in other aspects of Wilson's life.
Mongoose Rates It: Okay.
1 hour, 55 minutes, Rated R for strong language, drug use, and sexuality.

☛ WiFi scanning
I received quite a few questions regarding the possibility to add WiFi scanning to NetworkToolbox that displays the SSID (WiFi name) and RSSI (signal strength) of WiFi networks around you.
Unfortunately (or I would call it fortunately) Apple removed the possibility for developers to access the WiFi network device from inside an app (at least for non-Apple apps).
For this reason, there is no app available on the AppStore that can do these kind of things. There used to be a few apps in the past which were able to provide this on a very limited basis but they don't run anymore on iOS 8 and can't be updated by the developer as it would then not pass the App Store review process. Such apps have been submitted to Apple by the time when it was still possible to access the network device.
However, what a "regular" developer can't do seem to be possible by apps developed by Apple.
See how you can still scan WiFi networks
There is still a way to scan your WiFi network although it's a bit tricky to enable it.
The solution is, to use Apples AirPort Utility app and to enable a hidden feature for it. This works, even if you don't have an Apple WiFi router.
Here is, how to enable WiFi Scanning:
Install the Apple AirPort Utility app from the App Store
Start the app one time and then close it
Go to Settings (of your iPhone/iPad) on the main screen, scroll down until you see the AirPort app and select it
Enable "Wi-Fi-Sanning"
Start the AirPort Utility app again
Tap on "Wi-Fi Scan"
Tap on "Scan"
After a while, you can see all WiFi networks around you even with Channel information, BSSID (Mac address of the device) and RSSI (signal strength). If you tap on an entry you can even see the more information like the signal strength history.
I think that's a not-too-bad workaround.

Connecticut Senators Tap A Blood Money Vein
"The eyes have it."
It's OK apparently to offer false solutions to serious problems – a national replication of Connecticut's gun restrictions will not prevent mass slaughters such as happened at a Country and Western concert in Las Vegas – but profiting politically from wading in blood may be a bridge too far.
Concerning U.S. Rep. Chris Murphy's most recent campaign money grab, Kevin Rennie writes in a Hartford paper, "If a politician is going to try to raise money off the dead and wounded of the Las Vegas slaughter only hours after the attack, be honest about it. U.S. Senator Christopher Murphy wants the money but wrapped his fundraising appeal in a deceptive request of support for control advocates. Murphy's Monday email sought contributions for Americans for Responsible Solutions PAC, Everytown and Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. When supporters clicked through to the Act Blue donation site, there was a fourth organization splitting contributions, Murphy's re-election campaign."
Incumbent politicians rolling in campaign dough is one thing: Federal Election Commission reports indicate that Murphy presently has a campaign war chest of a little over $5 million and rising. Blumenthal, recently re-elected, already has $164,367 in his campaign kitty. No opposition party challenger can meet these figures, which is why incumbents roll in money for as long as they continue in office. Rolling in blood money, however, is still frowned upon in some quarters.
Four years ago, a newspaper commended Governor Dannel Malloy and U.S. Senators Dick Blumenthal and Chris Murphy for providing a public platform to victims' families. Far from politicizing a tragedy, the mass murder of school children in Newtown, the politicians were "helping [to] give voice to the victims' families. [Governor] Malloy went so far as to send public Twitter messages to U.S. senators who were blocking a vote on gun legislation, asking that they return phone calls from the daughter of murdered Sandy Hook Elementary School Principal Dawn Hochsprung."
This noble effort was followed by a pitch for campaign funds. The paper noted: "'In the wake of the horror of the December 14, 2012, massacre of 20 beautiful children and 6 dedicated educators,' Blumenthal is asking supporters to send money to his 2016 re-election campaign! 'As your senator, I will continue fighting for the rights of all the people, not the special interests. But I need your help,' Blumenthal wrote in an email to supporters Thursday morning. 'Please contribute $5 now as the Senate debate continues on common-sense gun reform legislation this week.'"
This craven grab for blood money produced an editorial rebuke: "Using the 'horror' of the 'massacre of 20 beautiful children' at a time when critical legislation honoring their memory is at stake to beg for $5 for your next political campaign is as tasteless as it gets."
Asked if he thought he was misusing the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre, Blumenthal sought to defend the money grab the paper had characterized as "disgusting." The money, the paper reported, "is not for one of the relief funds set up to help victims' families, or to fund mental health services, or to support autism research."
Blumenthal said he regularly taps people for campaign contributions. "I have been immersed in
seeking to achieve an end to gun violence. I have been immersed in advocating for sensible common sense preventive measures dealing with gun violence. This outreach is done regularly and usually about the work I am doing in the Senate. Gun violence has been the work I have been doing in the past weeks."
And Murphy rose to Blumenthal's defense. "People want to support the work that we do," said Connecticut's Junior Senator. "And right now people supporting the work we are doing is on this bill."
The paper noted that Blumenthal "had no comment when asked if it was insensitive or whether he specifically authorized it." Silence, as they say in the legal profession, signifies assent.
Asked the same question, then Republican Party Chairman Jerry Labriola remarked, "The Newtown tragedy engendered shock and sympathy across the world -- two emotions that are now and . . .

The claim that House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan Paul Davis RyanFEC filing: No individuals donated to indicted GOP rep this cycle The Hill's Morning Report - Waiting on Mueller: Answers come on Thursday Paul Ryan joins University of Notre Dame faculty MORE's budget would end Medicare is the "lie of the year," according to the fact-checking website Politifact.
Under Ryan's plan, the existing Medicare program would be replaced with a system in which the federal government provides seniors with subsidies to buy private insurance.
"The very definition of the Medicare program is a national health insurance program for seniors, which House Republicans would abolish under their budget," the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said in an earlier rebuttal of Politifact's analysis of the Ryan plan.
Ryan backed a new proposal last week that would give seniors a choice between private insurance and the existing Medicare program.
This is the third year in a row that a healthcare attack has been named Politifact's "lie of the year." Last year, the site singled out Republicans' charge that President Obama's healthcare law is a "government takeover" of healthcare. In 2009, the "death panels" attack was named lie of the year.

Philosophy Strategy
It's 2014. Where's the Future?
January 2, 2014 Mark F. Weiss
I'm writing this on New Years Day. Beautiful weather. Birds singing in the trees. Squirrels scampering about.
But, hey, it's 2014 and nothing really looks right.
I mean, where are the flying cars and the metal and glass houses, and the robots walking dogs? I was promised that future and it's not here and I'm mad as hell.
But isn't that really how a lot of us think?
Some of us feel that we were promised careers that didn't turn out as advertised. But just like the flying cars, those promises weren't real promises, they were simply projections. Perhaps projections of what the future had in store. Perhaps just projections of hope. Perhaps just delusions, someone else's or our own.
But it's really 2014 and there's still a lot of stucco and siding, cars are earthbound and I have yet to see a robot picking up dog poop or even disintegrating it with a laser.
The same holds true for your career. You're forced to live in the real world. Yes, you can try to make your career better. You can change your career. You can stop whining and look for ways to disrupt the path that your career is on.
The author, Franz Kafka said, "in the struggle between yourself and the world, back the world."
That's true for most. But does it really have to be true for you?
