Arizona Senator Proposes Bill to Repeal Notorious SB 1070
Old Sky Harbor Flight Paths Had Less Impact, Data Shows
Miriam Wasser
Miriam Wasser | April 22, 2015 | 5:06am
Phoenix is once again throwing its support behind the pre-September 18 departure flight paths out of Sky Harbor Airport. The decision comes after the city Aviation Department modeled multiple alternatives, calculated the noise impact each would have, and proved that the original paths are in fact the least disruptive options.
At a special City Council meeting late last week, Chad Makovsky of the Aviation Department, and an aviation consultant, Tom Cornell, presented the results of their modeling experiment. Through very telling visuals, they explained how the changes the FAA has proposed in recent weeks would result in more noise for residents.

Noise is measured in decibels, and a sound of about 75 decibels is said to interfere with normal conversation and pose "a significant impact." The Aviation Department team used information about the projected altitude and speed of planes to create a line around areas that would receive at least 75 decibels of noise for each proposal. They then put that line on top of a population density map, which allowed them to calculate how many people would be disrupted by airplane noise.
U.S. Senate Passes Bill Requiring the FAA Re-Evaluate Noisy Flight Path Changes in Phoenix
If this sounds confusing, consider the example below. It compares the old northwest flight path to the new one.
You are looking at a population density map of Phoenix, in which the darker-blue squares are higher density areas, and the white areas are industrial or otherwise mostly uninhabited areas. The orange oval represents the area of the city that received 75 decibels or more of noise when the old flight path was in place, and the green line represents the areas that get that level of noise from the current flight path. As is noted on the map, the population affected by the new flight path is 68 percent higher than the pre-September 18 path.
Now look at this example, which includes a third line representing the area that would be affected by one of the FAA's proposals--termed NW5 Corridor.
If you consider how much blue is inside of each oval, it becomes clear that this path would affect a lot more people than the old flight path. And in fact, according to the Aviation Department's calculations, it would have 126 percent greater impact.
The Aviation Department also modeled the FAA's proposals for changing the Southwest flight path. Here's the Previous SW Corridor compared to the current one:
It's easy to see how it affects far more people.
And here is a model depicting the old SW path, the current one, and one of the FAA-proposed alternatives:
Again, it's easy to see how this affects more people than the old path.
The takeaway from the presentation at City Council last week was that the old NW and SW flight path corridors resulted in far fewer people affected by airplane noise.
"It was intuitive that the city-proposed models would be the best," Makovsky said, "but this helped us to see it that it would be the case."
The models that the Aviation Department created are based on proposals the FAA designed earlier this month, and gave to the "PBN working group" members on April 7. (The working group is a team comprised of FAA officials, airline representatives, aviation technicians, and three representatives from the city of Phoenix. The FAA suggested forming the group in February to collaborate on finding a solution for the Sky Harbor flight path problem. The group has met three times.)
In the proposal, the FAA outlined 14 alternatives, and provided some data for the two paths it preferred. "They did no modeling for any of the other [12] alternatives, except to say that they didn't meet their safety and efficiency standards," Makovsky tells New Times. "This tells me that they did not take those options very seriously."
The following day, the Aviation Department requested that that FAA consider the other options more carefully and produce models for them as well. The FAA said it would, but on Friday April 10, only delivered what's called "TARGETS data" for some of those other alternatives. (TARGETS, which stands for Terminal Area Route Generation and Traffic Simulation, is a tool that combines all sorts of visual and mathematical data to help those designing flight paths.)
It wasn't what the city had expected or asked for, but it did include information about "where a plane would be at any given time and how high it would fly," Makovsky explains, "which allows you figure out how loud a plane will be at any given point."
The Aviation Department used this data to create the noise models you saw above. But unfortunately, as telling as these models are, Makovsky says, the FAA is unlikely to give them much weight because the agency uses a different sound metric to determine what constitutes a "significant noise impact."
The FAA measures noise by Day-Night average sound level, which, like it appears, is an average of all the noise over a 24-hour period. The Aviation Department used Single Event Sound Equivalent Level, which measures the impact of a single sound, and does a much better job depicting how we as humans actually perceive airplane noise. (We hear individual planes flying over our homes; we don't perceive sound in 24-hour period averages.)
Still, the city plans to give the FAA these models when it sends a response to the damning letter it received last week from the agency. The letter stated that the city has not participated fully in the process of correcting the flight paths, a contention City Councilman Michael Nowakowski called "a lie."
For months, the FAA has said it values the city's input and that it would evaluate its proposals with great consideration in the PBN working group. But last week the city learned that the FAA leadership dictated exactly what adjustments they would approve. Specifically, the agency would not agree to any changes that required a new federal action, meaning anything that requires safety or environmental assessments.
"The working plan that you received was the result of the working group wanting to propose to you what they wanted," said former Congressman Ed Pastor, who represented the city in the PBN group. "It was not a negotiation," he added.
Supported by the information from the noise-measurement models, the City Council unanimously voted to "discontinue engagement in the PBN working group" and "renew its request to the FAA to revert to previous flight paths."
"We think it's now time for the city to take the lead [on fixing the flight paths] rather than waiting for the FAA," Makovsky said.
Editor's Note: A previous version of this story said the FAA provided noise-modeling for two of the 14 alternatives it proposed. It only provided TARGETS data.

Sex Ed Debate Brings Anti-LGBTQ Voices to the Arizona Capitol


Carry Back, (foaled 1958), American racehorse (Thoroughbred) that in 1961 won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes but lost the Belmont Stakes, ending his bid for the coveted Triple Crown of American horse racing.
Carry Back was an unattractive, scrawny-looking colt. His owner thought so little of him that he raced Carry Back early and often to get the most out of him before he faded. By the end of the colt's first year on the track, he had been in 21 races, and in his second year of racing, he won reputable events such as the Florida Derby, the Flamingo Stakes, and the Everglades Stakes.
Two days of torrential rain had turned Churchill Downs into a quagmire before the 1961 Kentucky Derby. That fact, combined with Carry Back's reputation as a "mudder" (a horse that runs well in muddy conditions), made him the 5–2 favourite in a field of 15. His jockey, John Sellers, found himself and the colt in a scramble of horses early on and sent Carry Back to the outside, where he had room to put his speed to work. The colt ran down the opposition with a spectacular burst in the homestretch to score a three-quarters-of-a-length victory.
The Preakness Stakes had an even more exciting ending. Carry Back went up against eight Thoroughbreds as the 7–4 favourite and left the gate 141/2 lengths off the pace but spectacularly caught the pack, winning by three-quarters of a length over Globemaster.
Oddsmakers responded by establishing him as the favourite at the Belmont Stakes in a field of nine horses, as they eagerly anticipated another of his thrilling stretch drives and the anointing of a new Triple Crown champion. Going into the stretch turn, Carry Back moved up to sixth place and was on the verge of overwhelming the front-runners in his usual way. However, when Sellers called on him to start his spurt, an ankle injury Carry Back had sustained early in the race caused him to "spit out the bit" (a racing expression for a horse not inclined to run), and he finished seventh. The winner was Sherluck, a 65–1 outsider. Carry Back was retired to stud in 1963 and died in 1983. He was inducted into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in 1975.

En nethinde er et netværk af lysfølsomme sanseceller bagerst i øjet. Den er en forudsætning for synet.

Nethinden består af såkaldte stave og tappe, der har hver deres funktion i at opfange lyset. Kort beskrevet er stavene de mest lysfølsomme og den primære årsag til natsynet og sort-hvid-synet, mens tappene er knap så følsomme, men reagerer på forskellige bølgelængder i lyset (de er rød-, grøn- og blåfølsomme hos mennesket). Tappene er således årsag til, at vi kan opfatte farve. Omkring midten af nethinden findes en plet, som kun indeholder tappe, kaldet den gule plet, og det er her det skarpeste syn findes.

Hos et menneske er nethinden 0,5 mm tyk, og den ligger på indersiden af øjets bagvæg.

         ]

I want to escape curly braces in the "key part"

A: It works using \\ before "{" and "}".
eg:
"key": " \\{% foo %\\}...\\{% endif %//}

A: You escape json braces { } by adding additional ones {{ }}.
I assume you could some online utility to help you escape json characters easily.

A: Use "\uXXXX" notation for any character you want instead of XXXX you need to put hexadecimal unicode code of character.
<{> has code 0x7b and <}> is 0x7d.
So "\u007b" and "\u007d"

Maurice Berger receives award for "Race Stories" column
Dylan Greene
UMBC professor Maurice Berger has received an award from the International Center for Photography for his "Race Stories" column in the New York Times Lens section. Berger, a research professor and Chief Curator for the Center for Art, Design and Visual Culture, has become a major national figure in his respective field of media studies.
The ICP's Infinity Awards are considered some of the highest honors in photography and visual culture. The selection committee includes other art curators and academics in the field such as Isolde Birelmaier, Executive Director of Arts, Culture & Community at Westfield; Marina Chao, Assistant Curator at ICP; James Estrin, Lens blog co-editor and senior New York Times staff photographer; and Antwaun Sargent, writer and critic.
These awards have recognized emerging talent and major contributions to fields such as art, fashion, publishing, photography and photojournalism since 1985. On April 9, there will be an official gala commemorating this year's ICP Infinity Award Invitees in New York City.
"I am honored to receive an award long considered important to the community of photographers, writers, editors, and curators of which I'm a part," Berger said to UMBC News. "To write monthly for the New York Times about the ways photography mediates the issues of race fulfills a long held dream. To have that work acknowledged and rewarded by my peers, in addition to the incredible support I get from Times readers, is truly wonderful."
Berger's monthly column, titled "Race Stories", is an unconventional look at the relationships between the concepts, themes and social issues surrounding race and photography. The essays explore a range of subjects and photographers, including contemporary African American art and Latino/a, Asian-American and Native American photography.
Berger's motives are best encapsulated in his December 2017 essay Using Photography to Tell Stories About Race. He writes, "As a Jew, I have known anti-Semitism. As a gay man, I have known homophobia. But neither has seemed as relentless as the racism I witnessed growing up — a steady drumbeat of slights, thinly-veiled hostility and condescension perpetrated by even the most liberal and well-meaning people. It was painful to watch, and as my friends let me know, considerably more painful to endure."
Berger hopes that these columns can help young people understand racial issues. He says to UMBC News, "I always write my essays for The New York Times and curate my exhibitions on race and visual culture with young people in mind… because if you can inspire a young person to see the world in new ways, then you can inspire anyone. I get a lot of emails from high school teachers and college professors, who tell me they routinely assign my 'Race Stories' essays to their students. I'm an educator, first and foremost. The principal purpose of my work is to teach racial literacy through visual culture."
Berger's work has been additionally showcased in other publications such as Wired, Artform and Aperture and the Los Angeles Times. His latest essay appears in an April special issue of National Geographic that covers the issues of race.

27 Flavors: New York Yankees 2009 World Series Champs
November 6, 2016 ESENDOM
By Ricky Santana
When it came down to it the Yankees proved to be too much for the defending 2008 world series champion Phillies. What else could you ask for in a world series matchup other then the two best teams in both leagues are facing each other? Two former Cy young winners and teammates squaring off against each other, and the two most potent lineups in all of baseball? If there was anything this World Series lacked it was the offense of the Phils, they were nowhere to be found.
The Yankees manager, Joe Girardi, who had been scrutinized all season used a questionable but effective 3 man rotation going into the postseason that included their ace C.C. Sabathia who they payed the big bucks for in the offseason, AJ Burnett, and Yankee great and Mr. Postseason himself Andy Pettitte. This was a rotation that seemed to work well as having such a comfortable lead in the American League East nearing the end of the season Girardi used it to his advantage by resting his starters and not using them much heading into the postseason.

What also benefitted the Yankees and this trio of starters was that they only needed to pitch 6 solid quality innings where they could keep their team in it, because once the 7th inning came along it was a 3 headed lights out bullpen going from their fire-baller and a man who has experience in the pen Joba Chamberlain, to their 8th inning man Phil Hughes who earned that spot toward the end of the year and in the 9th of course Mariano Rivera who was clearly lights out in every way possible.
Credit goes where credit is due and the main reason why this series went to six games – on the Phillies' end – was because of two players, Cliff Lee and Chase Utley.
Clearly getting Lee before the trade deadline proved to be a tremendous move for the Phillies because he was their Cole Hamels of this year – Hamels being the pitcher who won NLCS and World Series MVP last year when being nearly untouchable throughout their postseason run last year – only problem is he can only start every 5 days. It'd be different if he could pitch every night because if anything he was the only Phillies pitcher who was able to contain the Yankee hitters in his starts.
Only Bobby Richardson, who ironically was on a Yankees team, is the only player in history to win M.V.P. honors on the losing team in the world series and tonight history could have repeated itself because Chase Utley carried his squad throughout this series. Sure he didn't bat .500 or drive in every run on base, but single handedly he drove in the necessary runs to extend the series to 6 games where it went and in the process put himself in great company with Mr. October Reggie Jackson as the only men to ever hit 5 HRs in a World Series.
In a series where many had Philadelphia winning because of their bats, Utley did not disappoint by hitting against both righties and lefties with ease, and not to mention belting 2 homeruns in the first game against Yankees ace and probable Cy Young C.C. Sabathia.
The Yankees might have not put up impressive stats but they got the big hits when they mattered most, and they succeeded because not only did they do the little things that mattered most like bunting and moving the runners over but they capitalized on Philliesmistakes by getting runs in early in the game, and putting the shaky pitching staff of the Phillies on their heels.
All in all it was a great way to end what was a successful first season at the new Yankee Stadium which promises to have many great memories like its predecessor.

Waterstone's parent company HMV announced this morning that it would sell the UK book chain to Russian billionaire Alexander Mamut's company, A&NN Capital Fund Management, for GBP 53 million.
In a surprising move, The Bookseller reports that Waterstone's current Managing Director Dominic Myers will be replaced by James Daunt to run the bookstore chain after the deal is completed. Myers will take on another role within HMV.
Despite months-long rumors that the chain's founder, Tim Waterstone, would be involved in the company after the sale, Daunt announced today that Waterstone will play no role in the future of the chain.
In another report from The Bookseller, the response from the industry to this announcement appear to be positive across the board. Reactions from people across the British publishing and bookselling industries are enthusiastic and optimistic, both about the book chain's future, as well as Daunt's leadership and commitment to the bookselling business.
HMV struggled to meet financial expectations this year, facing heavy competition from online and supermarket retailers of music, movies and books.
HMV ends its fiscal year on April 30, which is when its lenders would officially asses their debt and overall finances. However, HMV negotiated earlier in the year to delay the evaluation of their debts until July 2, probably with the sale to Mamut in mind. If they can complete the deal with Mamut before their debts are assessed by the lenders, the company ends their year on better financial footing, which improves its status as a publicly traded company.
The deal is contingent upon approval by HMV's lenders, and according to a press release from HMV, the company expects its lenders to support the deal.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the announcement of the sale boosted HMV shares by 10% at the opening of London trading this morning.

Ukraine tested Vilkha-M long range missiles
by Admin | Thursday, Apr 4, 2019 | 784 views
Oleksandr TurchynovUkraineVilkha-M
April 4, the modernized "Vilkha-M" long range missile system has been tested, with its missiles being capable of striking the target almost twice as long as those that are currently on armament of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
This was reported by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov reminded that last year, the mass production of the "Vilkha" missile system was launched; the system was put on armament of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, "its missiles hit the target precisely at a distance of 70 km".
"But our designers and manufacturers continued to work on the further improvement of missilery, and very important tests of the modernized "Vilkha-M" system, with its new missiles striking at a distance of 130 km, have been carried out today".
According to Mr. Turchynov, the use of missiles for the destruction of targets at the maximum range, as well as the accuracy and efficiency of the target destruction was checked. "The missiles confirmed the specified characteristics, precisely destroying the targets at a distance of 120 and 130 kilometers", – he said adding that the work of the new command system, the effectiveness of the navigation equipment, and the quality of the new missile fire control system were also checked.
"Within the shortest time, we received a more powerful missile, and I want to emphasize that the work of our scientists and designers within the framework of the implementation of the missile program approved by the NSDC, continues systematically", – the NSDC Secretary noticed.
He informed that in the near future, it is expected to complete the development of a new generation of missiles of this class, capable of striking targets at distances of 200 and more kilometers.

Why We Sing: Houston Chamber Choir Celerates the Art and Joy of Singing Together
Robert Simpson, founder and artistic director of the Houston Chamber Choir (HCC), has just brought home one of the most coveted awards in the field of choral music. The 2018 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence was officially presented to the HCC by Chorus America at its conference in Chicago in June. Simpson beamed with pride, "This award puts us in a category I have aspired to for 23 years, since we became a professional choir in 1995."
In his acceptance speech, Simpson paid tribute to all the musicians who have grown with the ensemble over the years. "We are not a project choir with a roster of hired professional singers from different parts of the country," he explains. "We are a resident company. Everyone lives in the community. We start in late August and continue rehearsing week by week throughout the season. That really gives us a chance to live together, to get to know each other, to be a family."
It is the perfect time for a season dedicated to the "Art and Soul" of the HCC experience. "We want to express how we make music," says Simpson, "how deeply we care about unlocking the emotional power behind the pieces we sing, transforming pretty into powerful."
The opening concert "This is Why I Sing" (Sept. 29), makes a defining statement for the entire season. It is all about the pure joy of singing choral music, highlighting favorites of the singers as well as requests from the audience via online submissions. Simpson is especially happy to have the Kinder HSPVA Choir and the Parker Elementary School Advanced Choir join forces with the ensemble. "The love of singing starts early and is nurtured throughout the high school years. I wanted the faces of 4th and 5th graders on stage because they just radiate this love that over time and hard work develops into voices who sing in a professional ensemble."
For its ever popular Miller Outdoor Theater engagement (Oct. 27), the chamber choir will step outside of the more expected classical repertoire and get the joint jumpin' with the greatest hits from the Big Band era. Don't be surprised to see this multi-talented group break out their dance moves in The Andrews Sisters' "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," or grooving to the beat of Duke Ellington's "Take the A Train."
Simpson likes to talk about the sense of continuous flow and overall arc in programming the season. Concerts that would be just right in the middle of the season might feel abrupt at the beginning. So it is with the rarely performed gem by 20th century Italian-American composer Gian Carlo Menotti, The Unicorn, the Gorgon, and the Manticore (Nov. 18). This charming and tuneful large-scale work, with its fantastical title taken from a 16th century madrigal comedy/morality play, will feature singers, dancers, instrumentalists, and costumes, semi-staged to dramatic effect. "There will be much more going on here than in our first concert, where every song is immediately familiar," Simpson notes. "The visuals, the movement–it'll take much more focus and concentration." How can a story of a strange poet who keeps mythical creatures as pets not intrigue and enchant the listener?
The magic continues as the chamber choir celebrates the Christmas season with five concerts at the beautiful Chapel of the Villa de Matel, this year with the added gift of a collaboration with Houston's well-established Apollo Chamber Players.
Variety is a hallmark of HCC. It is very seldom for the choir to repeat a piece or an experience. Simpson wants people to come wondering "Ok now, what's this all about?" For the audience, there is a sense of the unexpected and new. "At the same time," muses Simpson, "there is a sense of discovery that feeds my soul and the singers' as well."
With an abiding love for all styles of music, and because he just can't get enough of variety, Simpson invited Grammy award-winning jazz singer Kim Nazarian, founding member of the New York Voices, to work with the chamber choir for an entire week, culminating in an evening of cabaret-style jazz at the relatively new venue Ballroom at Bayou Place (Feb. 3). The choir has had great success working with jazz greats Christian McBride and Dave Brubeck in the past. However, those collaborations came toward the end of the rehearsal process. Nazarian will go deep into the idiom with the ensemble. Eyeing a possible Pops Season in the future, Simpson wants the group to be thoroughly versed in the nuances, traditions, and conventions of vocal jazz. "I want us to be very, very grounded rather than just making it up," he said earnestly. "We really want to know what we're doing!"
HCC has collaborated with just about every arts organization in Houston, and this season it will add the venerable new music collective Musiqa to its list of artistic partners. The performance of Tarik O'Regan's Mass Observation (2016), for choir and six percussionists, could not be more timely in this era of growing concern over surveillance techniques. The name refers to an official English government program in the 1930s that sent individuals out to eavesdrop on private conversations in order to gauge the mood of the country just prior to King Edward's abdication. Houston Grand Opera will be presenting the world premiere of O'Regan's opera The Phoenix around the same time as HCC's performance of Mass Observation (April 13). Simpson will be looking forward to having the composer in the audience for the work's regional premiere. Also on the program are works by esteemed Musiqa composers Karim Al-Zand and Marcus Maroney. Al-Zand's A Measure in Trance uses text by the ill-fated Arab prince and classical poet Ibn Al-Mutazz (861-908 C.E.), while Maroney's a cappella piece Im Grase is a setting of German romantic poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff's poem of the same name.
The season will conclude with another major collaboration, this time with a scholarly bent (May 18). University of Houston professor Jeffrey Sposato, a 19th century choral music specialist, has a book hot off the press titled Leipzig After Bach, bringing to light the music of composers overshadowed by the brilliance of their predecessor at Thomaskirche. These names will be unfamiliar to even the most seasoned listeners–Johann Doles, Johann Hiller, Johann Schicht, anyone? With Sposato's scholarship and musicianship as guide, Simpson is confident this music will come to life in performance. "We are not a choir that specializes in any one period or genre," he adds, "but when we sing music of a particular period, I want us to sound like specialists. It is one thing to do a project like this, but another to do it with real understanding."
One last thing, and in Simpson's mind one of the best and most important things that HCC does, is the annual invitational choir festival Hear the Future (Jan. 27), now celebrating its 20th year. Three high school choirs, selected from the area's finest choral programs, will be invited to sing at the festival, each performing its own program and alongside the chamber choir. This year the festival will expand to include a clinic led by Dr. Rick Bjella, artistic director of the San Antonio Chamber Choir. Eight Title I high school choirs, choirs that have fewer resources and opportunities for this kind of coaching and expert guidance, will be invited to participate. "It is so important to recognize the educators who create that initial spark," remarked Simpson. "The choral world is a world built around passion. It's all to do with the love of the art."
And that is the Art and Soul of it.

But this story specifically focuses on Margaret Pierce, the first lady of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The previous two are more about Margaret's daughter Lindy. With that being said, Margaret has always been one of the most interesting characters in the series. She's mischievousness, cunning and super manipulative; given all those qualities, Margaret never fails to disappoint when the heat comes and the drama ensues.
It's another JJ Michael page turner. Trust when I say any reader will be left craving for more once finished! I've read all three of the books in this series; usually taking me no more than two days.
Highly recommended for open minded readers who want to be supercharged with a great story!

Josh Mandel Brings New Brand of Dishonesty
Congratulations are in order for Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel. As part of his U.S. senatorial campaign, Mandel, a Republican, has earned his sixth "Pants on Fire" rating from fact-checking website PolitiFact.
By German Lopez on Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 9:11 am
With the new award, half of Mandel's ratings are now "Pants on Fire," "False" or "Mostly False." If "Half True" is included in the overall dishonesty rating, 68 percent of Mandel's ratings are dishonest.
It's normal for campaigns to get some facts wrong and spread dishonesty here and there, but to get this many facts outrageously wrong is not. In comparison, Mandel's Democratic opponent, Sen. Sherrod Brown, has one "Pants on Fire" rating, three "False" ratings, two "Mostly False" ratings and two "Half True" ratings. Out of all his rated statements, only 25 percent have been declared false or mostly untrue. If "Half True" is included in the overall dishonesty rating, only 33 percent have been declared dishonest. That's half of Mandel's false and dishonest ratings.
So what exactly has Mandel gotten wrong since his campaign started? His false criticisms have mostly targeted his opponent and President Barack Obama. Mandel earned his first "Pants on Fire" rating when he said Brown is "out there egging on a lot of these protesters who are spitting on policemen and going to the bathroom on policemen's cars at these protests on Wall Street and other places." That turned to be false since Brown actually advocated for nonviolent protest. Mandel's latest dishonest statement claimed that Brown had sent billions of taxpayer dollars to foreign countries. Also false — Brown did no such thing.
Mandel's other "Pants on Fire" statements were about Obamacare being the largest tax hike in history (it barely cracks the top 10 tax hikes of the past 72 years), Brown giving bonuses to executives (he actually voted for withholding bonuses), Brown being one of the "main D.C. politicians responsible for Ohio jobs moving to China" (nope) and Brown choosing "to side with Washington bureaucrats and fringe extremists in the attacks on our natural resources" (only if local leaders and a college president are fringe extremists).
Some of these might be fluff issues, but most of them are serious, weighty issues. Obamacare is going to reshape the United States' health-care system. Jobs going overseas is a problem that directly affects millions of Americans and Ohioans. The way the United States is using its natural resources is a very valid concern. But Mandel doesn't seem to take these issues seriously enough to fact check his claims before touting them out to the press and public.
The Mandel campaign didn't respond to CityBeat's repeated requests for comment concerning Mandel's false statements.
To make matters worse, Mandel has said he doesn't care if his statements are found to be dishonest. In an interview with The Cleveland Plain Dealer earlier this year, Mandel told reporters that he will repeat his false claims "again and again" because he sees no downside to it. And, indeed, Mandel has continued using false platitudes to this very day.
Then Mandel told Ted Hart, an NBC reporter, that he was "out of touch with reality" for questioning Mandel's false accusation that Brown wanted to give bonuses to business executives.
Sadie Weiner, Brown's spokesperson, fired back at Mandel's comments in a statement: "Mandel's refusal to admit he's lying in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary is a stunning example that he's just another politician who can't be trusted."
Even when Mandel isn't perpetuating false accusations, he can't give a straight answer. In a recent interview with Dayton's WDTN, Mandel refused to answer whether he would have supported the auto bailout or not. The reporter repeatedly reemphasized the question, even directly asking, "You're not going to answer the question, are you?" The final time she asked, Mandel simply replied, "Great seeing you."
The dishonesty hasn't stopped Republicans from supporting Mandel. He has joined presidential candidate Mitt Romney on the campaign trail in Ohio, and outside groups continue throwing millions of dollars behind the Mandel campaign.
Fortunately, Mandel's campaign seems to be wrong about such dishonesty not being important. In some recent polls, Mandel has been estimated to be losing quite badly to Brown. When commenting on Mandel's poor favorability numbers, a Public Policy Polling statement said, "You'd be hard pressed to find a serious Senate candidate in the country this year with worse favorability numbers than those." The same poll found Mandel was down 10 points against Brown — a startling gap with less than three months left in the campaign season.

John Bercow launches vicious attack on Brexiteers
John Bercow has taken aim at Brexiteers who claim he has been bias as Speaker, saying it's "bad form" to blame the referee. The controversial Speaker said some of the abuse directed at parliamentarians in recent months has been ""low grade and vulgar to the extreme".
Discussing his time as Speaker, he addressed the row over his bias in favour of the Remain camp.
"If you are losing the match, it's quite bad form to blame the referee."
Bercow's rulings in the Commons had earned him the title of "The Brexit Destroyer" in some parts of the press, along with a suggestion that he had potentially triggered a constitutional crisis.
Bercow continued:
"I wouldn't say I'm a Remainer enabler. I would say that I'm an enabler of all colleagues across the House who want to express their different points of view.
I thought the Brexiteers were in favour of taking back control of Parliament being in the driving seat?
Well, they can't have it both ways."
Bercow dismissed what he called "downmarket attacks on Parliament" along with claims of bias from hardline Brexiteer MPs. He described the bitter debates over Brexit as among the worse he has seen in his 22 years as an MP for Buckingham.


Illinois coach Bruce Weber did nothing Saturday to hint that freshman forward Jereme Richmond would play when No. 9 Illinois meets No. 1 Kansas today in the NCAA tournament with a berth in the Southwest Region semifinals on the line.
TULSA, Okla. -- Illinois coach Bruce Weber did nothing Saturday to hint that freshman forward Jereme Richmond would play when No. 9 Illinois meets No. 1 Kansas today in the NCAA tournament with a berth in the Southwest Region semifinals on the line.
Quizzed about Richmond's status, Weber wouldn't divulge if a decision had already been made after Richmond dressed but didn't play in the 73-62 win over No. 8 UNLV on Friday. Richmond did practice during the closed-door workout Saturday.
A source said Richmond was involved in a scuffle in the locker room after the loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament. Illinois said the suspension was for a violation of team rules, and despite the program's first win in the NCAA tournament since 2006, the Illini were dealing with the distraction caused by Richmond.
Otherwise, Weber will seek contributions from guards D.J. Richardson and Crandall Head comparable to Friday, and sophomore forward Tyler Griffey would likely play a role in defending the Kansas big men, Weber said. Freshman center Meyers Leonard is battling a sinus infection, the flu and a problem with his balance from inner ear issues.
Richardson's minutes tumbled as he suffered through 35-percent shooting in conference play, but he scored 10 points on a 4-for-4 night against UNLV. He buried 3-pointers on consecutive posssessions to chill a second-half run by the Rebels.
Head logged 15 minutes, finished with four points and one turnover and looked unfazed by the NCAA pressure. He also looked like his brother, Luther, according to Kansas coach Bill Self.
Griffey didn't play meaningful minutes against UNLV because of his inability to guard on the perimeter, Weber said, and the Rebels' small-ball lineup was a bad matchup. The Illini gave Leonard a try even though he's been battling illness all week.

East Oak Lane, Philadelphia
(Redirected from Milestown School)
Neighborhood of Philadelphia in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, United States
Neighborhood of Philadelphia
Coordinates: Coordinates: 40°03′07″N 75°07′41″W / 40.052°N 75.128°W / 40.052; -75.128
East Oak Lane is a neighborhood at the northern end of the North Philadelphia planning district of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Many of the houses in the neighborhood are large single homes or twins built at a later period than much of central North Philadelphia. There is also a significant number of typical Philadelphia rowhouses.
1 Boundaries
3 Milestown School
4 Buildings and landmarks
5 Demographics and notable residents
Boundaries[edit]
East Oak Lane is currently defined by the borders of Cheltenham Avenue at the north (the border between Philadelphia and Cheltenham Township), Broad Street on the west, Godfrey Avenue at the south, and the Tacony Creek to the east.
Historical background[edit]
This area of Philadelphia was first settled in 1683 as William Penn's first neighborhood.[1] In 1695, a Welshman named Griffith Miles bought 250 acres of land and built a log home along a dirt road that would later be known as Oak Lane.[2]:11 The area became known as Milestown in 1711, and as farming began to flourish, water-powered mills were built.[3]
The road that came to define the neighborhood, initially called Martin's Mill Road, was renamed Oak Lane by a landowner in 1860, in remembrance of an ancient oak tree that had blown down in a storm.[2]:11[3]
Milestown School[edit]
Painting of the original 1745 one-story building of the Milestown School and adjoining octagonal schoolhouse added in 1818
The first school building at what is now 12th and Oak Lane was a one-story schoolhouse, built in 1745 and donated in 1761 by Joseph Armitage to the trustees of what was then the Milestown School.[2]:12[4] Ornithologists Alexander Wilson and John Bachman were among the teachers there.[4]
An octagonal schoolhouse was added in 1818.[2]:12–13 The building and grounds were given to the City of Philadelphia for a public school in 1866.[5]
Ellwood School, an "L"-shaped elementary school building, was built in 1957 on the site of a previous 1875 schoolhouse, which replaced the original buildings of the Milestown School.[2]:12–13
Buildings and landmarks[edit]
Across the street from Ellwood School, the Oak Lane Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia still operates in its historic 1910 building at the corner of 13th and Oak Lane, renovated in 1958 and 1999.[3]
East Oak Lane is known for "large, elaborate houses of various styles" and "grand churches."[2]:10 Numerous architectural styles are visible, for example, in the area between 65th and 69th Avenues, with homes that have been the subjects of paintings by artist Chuck Connelly.[6] Across the railroad tracks, a row of shops, most built in the second half of the 20th century, gives the impression of a small town Main Street.
Demographics and notable residents[edit]
In addition to its architectural diversity, East Oak Lane has long been known for being racially and ethnically diverse.
Notable past residents have included:
Noam Chomsky, linguist and political theorist who grew up in East Oak Lane on Fairhill Street.[7]:15 While Chomsky described his family as being, in the 1930s and 1940s, "the only Jewish family in a mostly Irish and German Catholic neighborhood",[8] he attended the nearby Oak Lane Country Day School, a "progressive and lively K-8 private school [whose] students were for the most part Jewish".[7]:14
Vivian Green, singer-songwriter and pianist
Leslie Odom Jr., Tony Award-winning actor who originated the role of Aaron Burr in the 2015 Broadway musical Hamilton[9]
Hugh Panaro, actor who played the title role in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for over eight years between 1999 and 2014

In previous weeks, I have commented mostly on early signs and emerging risks in the banking sector, including some early warning shots in the property space in particular. But banks and funds invest in many other types of assets and one sector – infrastructure and energy – may even be feeling some benefits from Brexit.
M&A activity linked to UK energy and other infrastructure assets remains strong. Fund-raising has continued unabated (and have even been over-subscribed in some instances) and the appetite of lenders (both commercial lenders and debt funds) to lend to infrastructure and energy assets remains red-hot.
So what are the main post-referendum trends?
Well, firstly, historically low swap rates have allowed lenders and funds to apply slightly higher margins and risk premiums, whilst keeping the overall cost of capital steady. Only for sub-investment grade investments have we seen the rise in spreads exceed the fall in gilt rates.
Secondly, predicted higher inflation (the counter-effect of currency devaluation) is already feeding through into valuations. For infrastructure projects, characterised by long-term relatively predictable cash flows, higher inflation means higher revenues (either directly or via higher power price forecasts) and higher coverage ratios.
And, thirdly, the logic of infrastructure investment has, if anything, increased. Ever lower gilt yields and an uncertain commercial property sector leave pension funds and other institutional investors with fewer areas to look at. Infrastructure, offering long-term yield and inflation linkage, is an increasingly attractive alternative. So expect the direct investment trend of recent years to continue and accelerate.
The combined effect of these trends is that prices for assets may actually increase in the near term. It is no accident, for example, that share prices of listed infrastructure funds have increased since the referendum decision.
Aren't there Brexit-related risks as well? Yes, of course. Policy uncertainty could hit some sectors. The cost of equipment priced in euros – such as wind turbines – may well increase sharply, threatening planned greenfield projects (including large offshore wind projects). And whilst resilient, the sector would not be completely immune from a wider economic downturn – especially if accompanied by a credit crunch.
But for now, infrastructure is demonstrating very well its defensive qualities as a sector.

World's Most Advanced Ship For Monitoring Harmful Algae Completes Survey Of Irish Waters
MacDara Conroy

#MarineScience - Blooms of toxin-producing algae and unprecedented levels of microplastic particles were detected in a recent oceanic survey carried out by scientists from the Marine Institute.
Bristling with sensors and state-of-the-art technology, the German research vessel RS Heincke completed a circumnavigation of UK and Ireland this August in a month-long survey.
A team of six Irish phytoplankton, biotoxin and oceanographic scientists joined the survey, which was conducted by the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in collaboration with the Marine Institute and the University of Oldenburg Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment.
A total of 75 stations were surveyed using instrumentation aboard the ship, which was primarily designed to investigate Azaspiracid toxins produced by a number of micro-planktonic species of the family Amphidomataceae.
"This research is important for us as Ireland remains the most affected country in the world by shellfish poisonings caused by toxins produced by these species," said Joe Silke, senior scientist on the survey from the Marine Institute.
These toxins, which were first discovered 23 years ago during routine monitoring of Irish shellfish, have resulted in annual temporary closures of Irish shellfish production areas, with resulting economic loss from loss of sales and markets.
Recent research has identified that the Amphidomataceae, unlike many other toxic algae, are pelagic plankton found in the open sea to the west of Ireland. These can accumulate in specific cases of currents and wind direction, creating toxin problems in the shellfish production bays along the West coast.
This was the first time that near real-time analysis was possible underway due to the advanced equipment available for the survey, including a fully equipped chemistry lab capable of measuring and identifying trace levels of toxin produced by the plankton using a liquid chromatography mass spectrometry instrument. Only 30 minutes after taking plankton samples aboard a full characterisation of the toxins present was possible with this equipment.

The team of scientists on board were able to confirm the presence of these phytoplankton at several offshore and nearshore stations, and collected an integrated data set comprising oceanographic, bio-optical, meteorological, plankton and sediment data accompanied by taxonomic determinations, toxin measurements and DNA analysis.
"Having the capability to carry out near real-time analysis of microscopic plankton while at sea to reveal the species present and their toxins is a huge leap forward in opportunities for our research programmes," Silke said.
Simultaneous research activities included taxonomic analyses of the filtered plankton. Scientists used high resolution microscopy, further supported by real-time analyses of the plankton using molecular biological technology designed to recognise the DNA fingerprint of individual species.
Automated instruments on board such as a FerryBox carried out physico-chemical analysis of underway water, and a Flow-Cam carried out automated particle measurements and image analysis of phytoplankton samples. Full bio-optical properties of the water were measured using instruments on the ship measuring spectral properties both above and in the water.
In the course of the survey, several other blooms of algae were detected along the oceanographic fronts traversed by the ship's track. These included large blooms of the usual late summer phytoplankton that we commonly see in coastal waters. These comprised mostly diatoms and dinoflagellates, such as Dinophysis acuta that produce DSP shellfish toxins, and Karenia mikimotoi that can cause fish and invertebrate mortalities if it accumulates in coastal areas.
The survey also revealed several species of Azadinium, the target group for this survey. These included some rare species, and some that have not been recorded previously in Irish waters.
One unexpected observation in the plankton net hauls was the diverse and frequent observation of microplastic particles in the same size range as the phytoplankton. While the survey was not looking for these in particular, it was evident that their occurrence is more widespread than observed in previous surveys in offshore waters, and would also appear to be diverse in nature based on shape and colour.
The European Food Safety Authority stated recently that plastic particles of this nature are less likely to pass to humans through fish, because the they do not pass through the intestine into other tissues of finfish, and the digestive tract is normally discarded. They may, however, pass to the food chain through filter-feeding shellfish species where the GI tract is consumed.
The sizes of particles observed on this survey would lend support to this, although the risk of exposure to humans and its consequence on health requires more research.

Home Hollywood Movie News Movierulz Thor 4 Do we still see a young, fat Thor in Thor 4 ?
Do we still see a young, fat Thor in Thor 4 ?
by 3Movierulz Desk Last Updated: August 15, 2019
Thor's dedication to "Avengers: endgame" beer and video games, and therefore a few pounds more on the ribs, is a big surprise to the film. According to a discarded flashback scene from "Thor 3", but he was already fuller earlier.
After destroying the infinity stones in "Avengers 4: Endgame," Thor (Chris Hemsworth) retires to his men's shared apartment in New Asgard and spends the days with beer and video games, resulting in a strong weight gain.
Although Rocket Raccoon tears him out of his lethargy and takes him on the time travel adventure, Thor carries the traces of his life with him throughout the film. At the end he climbs into the Benatar, still full of babble and wild hair, and evidently joins the Guardians Of The Galaxy.
"Thor 4" is apparently the next movie with the thunder god, which means fans will have to be patient until the end of 2021, before revealing what has become of that community since defeating Thanos - and, if Thor has his bacon in the meantime has abtrainiert again.
A deleted scene from "Thor 3: Day of the Decision" tells us at least that Taika Waititi, director of "Thor 3" and the upcoming "Thor 4" earlier had the idea to undergo Thor's body of a surprising change. That could be an indicator that we could continue to see literally more of Thor in the future than in his recent solo adventures.
THOR AS A THICK CHILD IN "THOR 3"
So Waititi originally had the plan to build a flashback sequence in "Thor 3", in which we get juvenile versions of Thor, Valkyrie, and Loki shown. Here Loki should be portrayed as a cranky Goth-Eigenbrötler and Thor as a chubby child with Vokuhila.
The clothing style of the characters would have been inspired by the fashion of the 80s, which would have at least visually fit well with the style of "Thor 3". In the end, however, Waititi chose not to shoot the flashback, as he and his team did not find a way to incorporate it organically into the storyline and, in his opinion, would have made no sense if Valkyrie and Thor had met before the events of "Thor 3 "Would have met.
In "Thor 4" Waititi would now again have the opportunity to build his young, thick Thor somewhere - or at least with the adult fat Thor fire a few fates. On the other hand, the comedy potential of the Plauzen-God was actually already exhausted in "Avengers 4: Endgame" - in the opinion of some fans even already overused. Also in the 3moierulz, editorship prevailed at the time of theatrical release disagreement over the thick Thor.
SURPRISE EFFECT INSTEAD OF DICKENWITZ
The gag does not work in the first place, because fat people are funny by nature, but by the surprise effect and the contrast between the impressive form of actor Chris Hemsworth and his canvas counterpart. The revelation that Thor had a rather chubby look as a child does not ignite now after we've already spent a whole movie with a pound adult thunder god.
As a comedian, Taika Waititi probably knows very well that some jokes age faster than others, which is why we can best imagine that Thor will lose his pounds sooner rather than later in the course of his solo adventure. Maybe in a funny training sequence aboard the Benatar. At least we can imagine Rocket with his disarmingly honest nature very well as a personal trainer ...
"Thor 4: Love And Thunder" will be released in Germany on October 28, 2021. Incidentally, Taika Waititi has been working on the script for a while now, although it will only be shot in the year 2020 because the director will only make a football film.

Intellectual workers sitting working desk for a long time, some sitting day during the day, evening and midnight oil, till midnight, this would most easily be premature, affecting life. Introduction to medical stressed: "Yi Yi sits all day, most are life and death", and anyone who has said: "people know long lines stand to hurt, lying and not long time ago especially wounding. "The United States Professor of art-covered also said," the less stagnation "is an important cause of premature mortality.
mental was so busy studying or working at the desk all day long, often in the neck bent forward, affecting the circulation of the blood flow, makes brain prone to lack of oxygen and nutrient supply, and intense mental activity also need to consume large amounts of oxygen and nutrients, so over time may feel dizzy.
in the process of constant stress brain, or that after the brain for a long time, lack of adequate physical activity to regulate brain fatigue would be difficult to eliminate. Over time, can cause dysfunction of the brain, the most common is a nervous breakdown: frequent dizziness headache, insomnia and more dreams, memory loss, lack of concentration, loss of appetite, depressed, upset, tired, it is difficult to adhere to study and work.
long strain of mental work, and lack of physical activity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, gastric and duodenal ulcer disease important causes, so some people refer to diseases such as "lack of exercise".
so "hard" intellectuals must pay special attention to "Lowe brothers."
Confucius disciple, not only invested with poetry, books, ritual, music, and taught archery and drive technology, also lead the student into the vast nature hiking and mountaineering. He appreciates most is in the spring, in March, put on the spring, accompanied by old friends, take the children, to the River to bathe, to the Hill hair dryer and praise poetry, singing. The brain thinker and educator in the "life 70 outdated" era, but Interestingly, apparently with his "problem", and at "Dr brothers" are closely related.
examples of teacher from Confucius and combining inspiration, life is diligent in the brain, and diligent exercise, do both, so after retirement until the age of 90, still life, and often read and write. He also describes his experience: "for decades, has been to arrange your time well and orderly, mental work and physical work alternately. While eliminating the mental tensions caused by the high State of tension, central nervous system fully resting on one hand and then returned to the embrace of nature, is a breath of fresh air, swaying and bones, promotes metabolism, enhance the function of the body in all its aspects. This is my light old, suffering from high blood pressure and other diseases, to retire one of the reasons. "
is Professor Ma yinchu famous demographer, is also at the centenarian's birthday, he is one of the three oldest trick" constant motion ". Consistent, regular exercise. Old life is diligent in brain, and diligent hands feet, he Sung several decades insisted exercise, six thousand or seven thousand steps each day, even though ailing in his later years, without interruption.
Shanghai calligrapher Su Juxian, also pay special attention to sports and health, he quipped: "animals need to be fixed, not become waste. "He was up at dawn every day, and Yu Ting, in particular, like to walk in the wild with fresh air, even at 90, still cheerfully to walk six thousand or seven thousand steps into the field. With the increase of age, mobility to the wild, he cheerfully insist on housework, until old age, has never stopped. His deep experience and said: "I like work, chores can do that is to do, only when completely stopped, panting sweating most happy. "The Soviet Bureau in 1985 was named the national healthy elderly, 1991 died, at the age of 111.
tricks for people to consult the hundredth birthday to retire, he replied with a laugh: "the trick is to three every day: every day activities, learning every day, doing things every day. "
have proved adept at" Dr foot and "Yes" bother "prevention of disease and avoiding premature, the secret of health and longevity, so we are in tight head clearance should be interspersed with physical activity. Better form the habit of daily outdoor exercise, regardless of exercise running, boxing, will do. Go out for a walk after dinner, and is also an effective method. On Sundays, national holidays stride feet, to go out for an outing, can relax, exercise, health, very useful.

In 2011 City2City Greater Springfield visited Grand Rapids, Michigan. It is a city that continues to put its money where its mouth is when it comes to development and collaboration.
C2C participants were impressed with the collaboration between philanthropy, community and the non-profit business-led group known as Grand Action in turning a city in decline into a resurgent city. The latest example is the building of a year-round public market that will bring local chefs, the region's farming community and an anticipated half-million visitors a year to a downtown location. See the article here.
