As a result of COVID-19, some MPs have been less able to vote in Parliament, and this will be reflected in their voting record.
Show more detail
11th May to 2nd June 2020
All MPs could vote remotely through an online voting tool. Votes cast remotely are shown as normal on the TheyWorkForYou voting record.
2nd to 9th June 2020
The option of online voting was removed, and a number of MPs may have been unable to vote because they were not physically able to attend.
10th June 2020 onwards
The requirements on proxy voting were relaxed, allowing MPs to designate another MP to cast a vote on their behalf.
If an MP votes by proxy, it is effectively exactly the same as if they cast the vote in person and it shows up on their TheyWorkForYou voting record.
MPs are not required to designate a proxy, and may instead pair with an opposing MP to miss a vote. Parliament does not record when two MPs have come to a pairing arrangement, so on TheyWorkForYou, they will both appear to have been absent for the vote.
We will update this information if the situation changes. See more detail on votes during the COVID-19 period here.

Empire of The Rising Sun (RSN–1995) is a board wargame published originally by Avalon Hill, designed by Bruce Harper with much input by Dave Casper into the naval warfare rules. This is the Pacific War companion game to Advanced Third Reich (A3R), using similar rules, and containing once again a copy of "Ultra" magazine with a synopsis of the game. A previous version, occasionally discussed in the pages of The General magazine, had been in development the late 1970s, but was never published.

Pacific Map

The map (designed by Charlie Kibler) is made up of two 31" × 22" sheets with 1" hexes and depicts the whole of the Pacific Ocean including parts of Australia, India, China, Russia & Japan. As in Europe the United States is represented by an off-map U.S. Box, although the Aleutian Islands (Alaska) and the Hawaiian Islands are shown on the map. The map is on a larger scale than the European war, so air units have range of 3 not 4, armour Zones of Control cost only one extra movement point (not 2) to move through and do not extend into rough terrain, while exploiting armour must keep to a chain of adjacent hexes, rather than one hex apart. The capture of hexes through attrition is much less likely.

Eastern India and the northern parts of Australia (including Darwin and Cairns) are shown on the map. A (black-and-white) extension map for the whole of Australia was published in "Ultra" magazine in the late 1990s. The game includes rules for a successful Japanese player to force the surrender of India or Australia by transferring units into the relevant off-map box and conducting attrition combat. Strategic Redeployment of forces from one theatre to another (it takes a turn to move from one off-map box - the European US box, the Pacific US box, South Africa, Western India, Southern Australia, SouthWest Pacific - to another) can take several seasons.

Much of the eastern map is taken up by ocean, dotted with island groups - a player need not occupy every single island to control the group, provided no enemy units are present. Units can stay unsupplied in a port or on a 1-hex island without being eliminated.

The summer turn is the monsoon, in which attack or movement into rough terrain is forbidden. In normal weather Allied units (apart from Chindits or stealthy Australians) must stop in rough or jungle terrain, but Japanese can move freely through. However, after the Japanese seizure of Malaya and Burma in Winter 1941, land movement will probably play little role in the game, until the Soviet invasion of Manchuria in the final turns; the land war in China is usually an ongoing attrition and stalemate.

Naval Warfare

Aircraft Carriers & Naval Aviators

The naval war will take up most of players' time during the game, the explicit idea being that a major Pacific naval battle will take as long to resolve as an armour offensive on the Eastern Front. Players still have generic naval factors as in the European game, but also have separate named aircraft carriers, normally of two (CVL) or three (CV) factors. The former are much easier to sink, and take a year to rebuild (CVs take two years). The US also has some optional four factor carriers (CVB) which did not see service in the actual war. Each carrier factor can base a single Naval Air Squadron (NAS) - one third of the size of an Army Air Factor, but equal for combat strength if fighting "over water" (although, because of the size differential, three losses would need to be inflicted to destroy a single AAF). Naval Air Squadrons may also base at cities, and one squadron and/or 9 naval factors may base on a one-hex island.

Japanese naval air squadrons start the game as "elite", using distinctive black-on-yellow counters and with a +1 Die Roll Modifier for combat. When eliminated, these are replaced with normal air squadrons, but the intense training required by naval aviators means Japan is limited to rebuilding 3 squadrons per turn. Whereas the American Air Training limit increases over time, a major battle (like Midway in reality) can cost Japan more naval air squadrons than she can replace in a year, and by 1944 Japan may well find herself with empty aircraft carriers as was the case at the Battle of Leyte Gulf. When the Americans draw close enough to the Home Islands, Japan may resort to building nine kamikaze air squadrons per turn. Kamikazes, for which the elite black-on-yellow counters are once again used, perform poorly in combat (-2 Die Roll Modifier) but their suicide attacks hit Allied ships at double strength.

Taskforces & Patrols

Naval forces may now be sent out as taskforces, which may not be examined by the other side. A taskforce may "Patrol" by "changing base" to a sea hex, where it remains throughout the enemy player turn. A patrol may attack any enemy land-based air in range (rolling for surprise as appropriate), after which enemy naval interception of the patrol, if attempted, is automatic. The following player turn the patrol (or a successful intercepting force, which may itself remain on patrol in the sea hex) may intercept enemy naval moves or give ground support to an attack (carriers may never give Defensive Air Support to ground units). A patrol might, therefore, lurk near to the target hex of a seaborne invasion, ready to take out enemy land-based air and head off enemy naval forces. Like any naval force, a patrol may not be intercepted on its way home after its mission is completed.

Naval Combat

For naval combat a player may split his taskforce into "combat groups" of at least nine factors each.

Before each combat round each player allocates his naval air squadrons to attack enemy land bases in range or the enemy fleet, while up to half his naval air squadrons may be CAP (combat air patrol - flying in defence of their own combat group). Each player then makes a search roll to see how many enemy combat groups are located (if not located they cannot be attacked that round). The search roll is affected by radar, and will be higher, the more friendly combat groups a player has and the more nearby airbases containing at least one friendly squadron (the number of squadrons in each base is irrelevant, so it is better to build a network of small forces), and the more enemy combat groups which are escorting a supply line, or carrying invasion troops (it therefore makes sense to group these "slow" elements in a single combat group - players also sometimes place a single 9-factor fleet as a decoy in the first combat group to make the fast carriers harder to locate and attack). Although some element of the fog of war is (obviously) lost naval battles are perfectly playable solitaire by making rational deployment choices for each side.

Before located combat groups are attacked, that group's CAP (which have a +1 DRM) may engage as many attackers as they like (so 2 squadrons of CAP might pick off a single attacking squadron to improve their chances). AAF based nearby may also give air cover. As in the European game the combat group then makes a defence roll (surviving CAP added to the defence strength), after which any surviving non-aborted attacking air may now attack the enemy combat group.

Naval Air Squadrons - but not army air factors - may target individual fast carriers, which may themselves make a separate defence roll prior to being attacked. It will be recalled that a fast carrier has 2 or 3 factors - if each factor is "destroyed" or damaged twice by the attack, the ship as a whole is deemed "sunk", while if each factor is either "destroyed" or damaged once, the ship as a whole is deemed to be "damaged" and must leave the combat (attacking NAS must return to the aircraft carrier from which they took off, or be lost if she has been sunk, although those flying CAP may land at any carrier or friendly land base (at the cost of inverting)). Any other result (i.e. at least one carrier factor remaining in pristine condition) is deemed to be repaired at sea and the carrier begins the next round of combat with all factors once again intact.

The difference between the two players' search rolls is the "surprise" result enjoyed by the player with the higher search result for that round of combat. High levels of surprise can be catastrophic, with CAP or defence rolls delayed until after the air attack or disallowed altogether, or all damage being lethal - this is what makes a disaster like the Battle of Midway possible. A second round of air attacks may now ensue, starting with a fresh search roll.

After two rounds of air attack, naval surface combat may commence, with each side adding in a new combat group with each round (once engaged in surface combat, a combat group need no longer be "searched" for!). Surface combat is actually and perhaps unrealistically rare, and not the way to sink fast carriers as they are deemed to be "screened" by any ordinary naval factors in their combat group.

There are some hard-to-remember rule anomalies - army air factors (if they survive counterair) are added to the defence strength of a naval base, but this is not true if they are giving air cover to a naval force - the opposite is true of naval air squadrons flying CAP. Some of these intricate rules were streamlined somewhat in A World At War.

Escort Carriers & Other Units

US Escort carriers (CVE) - generic factors, which do not carry separate naval air squadrons - also appear in the game. They are too slow to take part in naval interceptions, but can be used to provide ground support for attacks (carrier-based air may not intercept enemy Defensive Air Support), or take part in anti-submarine warfare.

Japan may build Island Fortresses (1 per turn), which receive an extra +1 DM if subjected to invasion. The US player receives six single-factor US Marine Divisions, added gradually to the US forcepool throughout the game, which give a countervailing DM benefit in seaborne invasions, but which must be used to take any losses resulting from such combat. The US player also receives Artificial Harbours to increase his naval basing capacity in 1944 and 1945.

Strategic Warfare

Strategic Warfare may feature destruction of BRPs by submarines of both sides. Japanese submarines - which have an initial advantage from their "Long Lance" torpedoes - determine their effectiveness by tracing distance to the eastern map edge from the most easterly Japanese naval base. American submarines grow in power throughout the game, their effectiveness being determined by tracing distance to Japan's oil supply route (from the Dutch East Indies to Japan) from the nearest US naval base. BRP losses from US submarines will be massive by 1944 but are limited to 1/4 of the value of Japan's overseas conquests each turn, but once they pass 15 BRPs per turn Japan begins to suffer from incremental "oil effects", gradually degrading her economy, submarines and surface fleet. Japan is deemed to be subject to "oil effects" in Winter 1941 from the US embargo, but these will probably be lifted once Japan achieves control of the Dutch East Indies (modern Indonesia).

Submarines may also operate on the map, and may attack damaged surface ships as they leave combat.
Each side may also send surface factors to sea as raiders. The USA may also raid the Japanese oil route, which may also be bombed by Army Air Factors.

The USA may also build strategic bombers. These are more effective than in Europe, as Japanese cities were built from wood, but will not be usable until the final turns of the game - although permissible bombing range increases throughout the game, in practice the USA needs to occupy the Marianas and then Okinawa, or bomb Japan from China if a sea supply route can be traced. In the final turns US strategic bombers may drop two Atomic Bombs, which besides exterminating any Japanese units in the target hex also increase the chances of Japanese surrender (see below).

Each turn the US player receives between 0 and 4 "Magic" points, representing breaking of Japanese codes, and which may be used to affect naval & submarine effectiveness, or which can be used to Strategically Redeploy a 9-factor fleet.

Game Play

Combatants

The game is essentially for two players - the USA and Japan. Britain (including Australia and India, now treated as British Minor Allies, although Australian units can be lent to the USA) has some forces in the Far East, including a few CVLs normally based in India or Ceylon (other CVLs which were based in Europe are also included, for use if the game is combined with Advanced Third Reich). The Dutch, Filipinos and Thais (Japanese Associated Minor) have tiny forces. Counters are also included for pro-Japanese Indian and Chinese separatists, who may enter through play of variants. China and the USSR also play a role, but there is no diplomacy per se during the Pacific War.

Nationalist China (white counters), the weakest of the great powers, has a theoretical base of 40 BRPs - 20 in practice (allowing a minuscule 10 BRP per turn spending limit) as four out of her five Key Economic Areas (Shanghai, Peking, Canton, Nanking, but not Chiang Kai-Shek's capital at Chungking) are already occupied by Japan prior to the start of the US-Japanese War. This makes China dependent on US BRP grants to rebuild her forces, which given the Japanese occupation of the land supply route through Vietnam and Burma, means that small numbers of BRPs must be flown "over the Hump" (over the Himalayas from Ledo to Kunming - the Allied player normally needs to base some US air factors in India to achieve this - two air factors are needed to carry each BRP). Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers (orange counters) give China her own tiny (two factor) air force.

Communist China (red counters), a minor power, has small forces present. A Chinese Resistance Table reduces the freedom of action of Chinese forces and the degree of cooperation between the two Chinese factions if China is in serious trouble.

Course of the Game

The game starts with a Japanese double-turn across Winter 1941 and Spring 1942. Japan may use this to attack Pearl Harbor, with the location of the six US fast carriers (in Pearl Harbor, out on patrol, or in the US Box) decided by die roll; Japan may also make a second air strike but without the devastating surprise of the first.  Japan may also seize Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore (whose fortifications do not protect against landward attack from Malaya), Burma, the Dutch East Indies and the Philippines. During the opening turn Japanese land units may invade undefended beaches and walk inland on the same turn, while Allied ground units are subject to a -1 DM (except the US Marines on Wake Island) and Allied air units are inverted.

During 1942 the forces will be roughly equal, with six or so aircraft carriers on each side - this was the period which in reality saw tense fighting for Midway, the Coral Sea and Guadalcanal. As in Advanced Third Reich the US economic base (counted separately from the "European War" US economy) starts at 150 BRPs, but grows automatically by 20 BRP per turn after entering the war, so by 1944-5 the US economy will have grown to colossal size. American SR and initial deployment capacity are linked to the size of her base, while her forcepool increases in tranches, so by 1944-5 the USA will have achieved overwhelming strength in submarines, surface fleet and air factors. After the end of the war in Europe, the Soviets may invade Manchuria, which Japan has been required to garrison up until this point.

Japanese surrender is governed by a table, similar to the British and Soviet surrender tables in Advanced Third Reich, in which Japan is assessed each turn for loss of oil, destruction of her armed forces (a rules anomaly allows the Japanese air force to escape destruction by sheltering in the Strategic Warfare Box), loss of objectives and atomic attacks. Japan is unlikely to "win" in real terms so game victory is determined by how quickly the Allies achieve Japanese surrender (whether or not requiring atomic attacks or invasion of the home islands) compared to the actual historical timeline.

Scenarios

Besides the introductory scenarios (for Pearl Harbor, and the battles of the Coral Sea, Midway, Leyte Gulf) the game also includes full-map scenarios starting in 1942 and 1944.

The game also provides experimental rules for combining with Advanced Third Reich to simulate the whole global conflict. If there is no separate Chinese player Nationalist China, at war with Japan from the start, would be controlled by the US player, and Communist China by the Soviet player. The Designer's Notes state that ERS, shorter and less strategically complex than A3R, fits into the global war in the same proportion that the Eastern Front fits into the European War.

A US-Japanese tensions table, similar to the US-Axis Tensions table, governs relations between those two powers until they go to war with one another. Japan may seize various territories (e.g. French Indo-China—modern Vietnam—after the Fall of France in 1940, leaving Burma as the only Allied land supply route for BRPs to China), while the USA may deploy her fleet—possibly placed on alert—to Pearl Harbor and subject Japan to an oil embargo prior to the outbreak of hostilities.

Another feature of these rules is the replacement of variants (of which a basic Pacific set is included for old-fashioned players) with rudimentary rules allowing players to "research" changes in, say, bomber, jet fighter, rocket, submarine or torpedo technology, and thus shape the development of her armed forces over the course of the game. These rules were greatly expanded in A World at War.

A gaggle of paranormal researchers say they've discovered the root cause of homosexuality. It's not genetic. It's not the result of childhood trauma, either. It's ghosts.
According to its website, the Spiritual Science Research Foundation is a "world leader in spiritual research." In a new article titled Symptoms of Ghost Affecting or Possessing a Person, the groups claims that an astounding 85 percent of gay people are possessed by ghostly entities.
So what can be done about all this ghost possession and negative energy?

Hitachi Kaihin Koen or Hitachi Seaside Park is spread over 153 hectares of land close to Hitachi city's Pacific coast (Japan). The park is best known for its seasonal flowers – Daffodils and Tulips in spring, Nemophilia and Rose in early summer and Kochia and cosmos in autumn.
The park has become known for its baby blue-eyes flowers, with the blooming of 4.5 million of the translucent-petaled blue flowers in the spring drawing tourists. In addition to the annual "Nemophila Harmony", the park features a million daffodils, 170 varieties of tulips, and many other flowers. The park includes cycling trails and a small amusement park with a Ferris wheel.
Why not create a hotel that gives people a chance to experience nature amongst the tree-tops, while also providing a uniquely designed housing experience? These questions led to the creation of Treehotel in Harads – a place where nature, ecological values, comfort and modern design are combined for an exciting adventure.
Treehotel was inspired by the film "The Tree Lover" by Jonas Selberg Augustsen. It's a tale of three men from the city who want to go back to their roots by building a tree house together. "The Tree Lover" is a philosophic story about the significance of trees for us human beings.
The idea behind Treehotel is to offer high-standard accommodation in a harmonious place where daily stress melts away. Guests can relax and renew their energy while surrounded by unspoiled nature.
Treehotel is located in Harads, near the Lule river, about 100 kilometers from Luleå airport. The village has a population of about 600 and features a restaurant, shop and guest house. When you arrive at Treehotel, you check in at Britta's Pensionat. Then it's just a short stroll through the beautiful nature to your treeroom.
The most striking part of Harads is its magnificent surroundings. From Treehotel's rooms you get a fantastic view of the Lule River valley, miles of forest and the powerful river. Here you can forget about the time constraints of everyday life, enjoy the serenity, and rejuvenate in a sophisticated yet familiar environment.
The guests are offerred the three rooms and each room is unique. Not only the architecture but also its furniture, lighting and fabrics are custom designed. The rooms vary in size between 15-30 m², with the largest rooms accommodating up to four people.
A very important part of the concept is to consider ecological values and make minimal environmental impact. The daily operations as well as the tree room's construction are environmentally friendly, aimed to have minimal impact on nature. That's why each room has modern, environmentally-friendly combustion toilets and water-efficient sinks.
Our partner and famous traveler Rick Steves meets one of his tour guides, Francesca, for Rome's ritual evening stroll — the passeggiata — on a walk that laces together its top after-dark hotspots. After the sun sets, the city cools down and the illuminated streets, squares and monuments take on another personality. This is people-watching at its best.

The Poseidon Resort is for anyone who has always wanted to experience the life of the Little Mermaid and sleep under the deep blue sea, surrounded by beautiful rainbow fish and marine life. But you had better have a royal bank account if you wish to experience the life of the princess of the sea. A one-week stay at Poseidon will cost $30,000 per couple. Or you can go whole hog if King Poseidon really is your father and rent the whole resort for $3,000,000! Can you believe that's actually an option?
The resort, which is currently under construction on Katafinga Island in Fiji, will feature twenty-two 550-square-foot (51 m2) guest rooms, an underwater restaurant and bar, a library, conference room, wedding chapel, spa and a 1,200-square-foot (110 m2) luxury suite.
The resort claims that it will take two years to build once they have raised enough funds, and has released a cool preview video showing renderings of the resort. Here's what the Poseidon Undersea Resort will look like.
Seljalandsfoss is one of Icelands most beautiful waterfalls. It´s not the highest or mightiest but the fact that you can walk behind it makes it special. This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. There is the foot path that loops behind it, allowing visitors to see its beauty at a level that's up close and personal.

We are please to announce Kevin Mooney's participation at Eva International, Limerick City.
Kevin Mooney's paintings are rooted in folklore, mythology and a semi-fictitious Irish art history. His solo shows include: Seeing Things, ArtBox Projects, Dublin (2017); Twilight Head Cult, Ormston House, Limerick (2016); and Wave, Pallas Projects, Dublin (2014). Selected group exhibitions include What is and What Might Be, Highlanes Gallery Drogheda (2015); Making Familiar, Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin (2012); and Video Killed the Radio Star, Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin (2010).
Mooney's work explores the dialectics involved in the idea of homeland as integral to one's memory of place. These memories are not fixed, however, but remain as an intangible essence. His parents emigrated from Ireland in the 1950s, and as child he was partly excluded from a 'real' Irish identity, meaning his understanding of Irishness is partly from an 'outsider' perspective. With painterly techniques encompassing prehistoric, medieval and contemporary periods, his work maps, retraces, and re-imagines cultural history, and is an interplay between loss and renewal. His series of paintings Psychic SpectreLand (2017-18) reimagines a 'lost' part of Irish art history - a history that didn't happen. The figuration in the work comprises the abstraction of prehistoric symbolism and medieval flatness while also including more contemporary painting techniques. Landscape appears to be animated by a spirit, generating the imagery of surrealist nature, which is both pre-modern and apocalyptically post-industrial.
EVA International is Ireland's Biennial of Contemporary Art. Every two years EVA International works with guest curators to create a 12-week programme of exhibitions and events that engage with the people and city of Limerick, Ireland. Since its foundation in 1977, EVA International has worked with some of the world's leading artists and curators, bringing outstanding exhibitions and international audiences to the west coast of Ireland. Artists' projects are selected through an international open and invited call for proposals and exhibitions take place in both gallery and non-gallery spaces.
EVA International (previously known as e v+ a, Exhibition of Visual Art) was founded by Limerick-based artists and academics in January 1977. The aim of the original committee was to show the work of contemporary visual artists and "provide the public with an opportunity to visit and experience an exhibition not normally available in the region and [...] stimulate an awareness of the visual arts here" [taken from the Introduction to EVA 1977 catalogue].
Initially the exhibition took place annually and artworks were selected from an open call for submissions by a panel of acclaimed Irish artists and arts professionals. In 1979 Sandy Nairne was appointed as the first international guest curator of the exhibition and this model has continued since then. Through working with international guest curators, EVA International aims to introduce them to Irish art and artists, while simultaneously introducing Irish audiences to international art and artists.

Shipment of Electronic goods soared in India in January-March period
KOLKATA: The shipment of LCD, LED and Plasma TV models almost doubled in India in the January-March period driven by strong demand from cricket world cup, says a research report.
According to the latest DisplaySearch quarterly India TV shipment and forecast database, the total TV market in India for the first quarter was 3.7 million units, accounting for 41.5% of the Asia-Pacific TV market.
During this period, LCD TV shipments grew by 94% reaching one million units, due to the strong promotion by the brands and dealers during the world cup.
"The world cup helped to boost LCD TV shipments to maintain over 70% year-on-year unit growth since 2010," said DisplaySearch director (India and South-Asia) Indrajit Ghosh.
While the cathode ray TV segment (CRT) still dominates the Indian market with 72% unit share, but the penetration of LCD, LED and Plasma TV increased from 26% to 28% in the first quarter.
In the first quarter, the most popular TV size in India was the 22 to 24-inch segment with 41% share as compared to 35% share held by the 32-inch segment, the leading screen size in most regions. In the CRT TV segment, the leading size range is 14 to 21 inch.
According to DisplaySearch, three major brands enjoy a combined market share of around 60%. Sony is at the top slot with 20.9% share in the first quarter, followed by Samsung at 19.3% share and LG with 18.4% share. But in the 22 to 24-inch segment, Videocon leads market share.
"With weaknesses in global TV demand, especially in developed regions, we expect some of the Indian and Japanese TV brands will try to increase their share in flat panel TV shipments in India," said Hisakazu Torii, VP of TV market research at DisplaySearch.

BBC ALBA TO BROADCAST NEW FORMAT PERTH MASTERS
BBC ALBA is to broadcast live curling from the new-look 2020 Perth Masters supported by Mercure Perth Hotel, with exclusive UK coverage screened on the channel and BBC iPlayer, with catch up also available on iPlayer.
The 44th hosting of the tournament in the fair city has a brand new and ambitious format, which will see the Perth men's and women's World Curling Tour events joining forces and taking place at the same time at the Dewars Centre.
The new and more inclusive event which will kick-start the 2020 curling season (2-5 January 2020) has attracted a record number of entries from world class curlers from 12 countries, including a powerful contingent from the host nation competing for the prestigious titles in the first major curling action of the New Year, with 39 teams competing across four days.
BBC ALBA will provide live coverage from Friday 3 January at 10.45am across the weekend, culminating in coverage from the finals on Sunday 5 January from 2pm onwards.
Iseabail Mactaggart, Director of Strategy and Partnership at BBC ALBA, said: "BBC ALBA is committed to providing distinctive coverage of high quality sport including championing Scottish women's sport. Providing exclusive coverage from the new integrated Perth Masters further enhances our offering to our viewers.
"The profile of this native Scottish sport has increased significantly in recent years with our curlers continuing to put Scotland on the world stage as they enjoy international success, most recently winning silver and bronze medals at the European Championships last month. Having first broadcast from the Perth Masters back in 2016, we hope BBC ALBA can continue to build on and increase that recognition, broadcasting live coverage of top class men's and women's international competition taking place in the heart of the country, just two months before some of these elite teams return to Scotland for the LGT World Men's Curling Championships in Glasgow.
"We very much look forward to showcasing the new format tournament and the expert analysis of Jackie Lockhart who will join us for our three days of coverage."
Lockhart's former team mate from the 2010 Winter Olympics, Eve Muirhead is looking forward to playing in the new format event on home ice.
"Having been involved in the Perth Ladies event for the past few years, with it now changing date and taking place at the same time as the men as the new Perth Masters I think it is going to make for a much more inclusive event and great not just for competitors but also for the spectators," said Muirhead.
"I think the organisers have taken a huge step forward in doing this and they deserve a lot of credit for it, as I actually don't know of many events on Tour with high class men's and women's teams playing alongside each other, bar the Grand Slams and the European Championships."
"I am going to be on ice at the same time as my brothers and that is going to be quite special competing alongside them."
Having recently returned from the European Championships with her ninth medal from that event, the two time European and former world champion is delighted that the sport has attracted TV coverage at her home ice rink.
"It is important that others are inspired by our sporting successes and BBC ALBA broadcasting live from this event is really good for the profile of the sport and as a country we need to make the most of this opportunity," she added.
"As a player I want to support that coverage as much as possible, to drive up viewing figures so that in the future BBC ALBA want to come back and be involved in this Perth event and other curling competitions taking place in Scotland."
Chair of the Perth Masters Organising Committee, Pete Loudon said: "For the very first time we are holding two World Curling Tour events that feature the very best men's and ladies teams, I'm delighted that we will have such a strong International field here in Perth competing against the top Scottish teams.
"For the four days in January I am sure all curling fans will enjoy a world class spectacle of curling that will showcase the 39 teams from many different countries playing 102 games.
"We have worked hard at securing television coverage of the event and I'm delighted to say that BBC ALBA and World Curling TV will broadcast eleven draws live on TV and Youtube.
"A huge thank you to everyone who has made the 2020 Perth Masters possible, our main supporting sponsor Mercure Perth Hotel, our presenting sponsor Perth Honda together with Live Active Leisure, Perth & Kinross Council, Earnside Coaches and of course my fellow committee members and all the volunteers who help to make this a world class tournament."
Eleven games will be televised live on BBC ALBA from Friday through to the quarter finals, semi finals and the finals on the fourth and final day of the World Curling Tour event.
BBC ALBA's commentary team will comprise guest analyst and 2002 world champion Jackie Lockhart alongside sport commentator Hugh Dan MacLennan.

10:45 Team Muirhead v Team Han
14:00 TEAM BRYCE v TEAM GLEN MUIRHEAD

Confabulation is a symptom of various memory disorders in which made-up stories fill in any gaps in memory.
German psychiatrist Karl Bonhoeffer coined the term "confabulation" in 1900. He used it to describe when a person gives false answers or answers that sound fantastical or made up.
Someone with confabulation has memory loss that affects their higher reasoning. They subconsciously create stories as a way to conceal their memory loss. They aren't aware that they aren't telling the truth. They don't have any doubt about the things they are saying, even if those around them know the story is untrue.
Confabulation isn't a disorder itself. It's a symptom of an underlying disorder. Doctors are still working to define confabulation and their understanding of the brain changes that cause it to occur.
A variety of conditions can result in confabulation. These include memory disorders, injuries, and mental health disorders. As a result, doctors haven't identified a specific cause. They do know that most people who have symptoms of confabulation usually have damage in two areas of the brain: the frontal lobes and the corpus callosum. The frontal lobe is known for its role in memory.
Young children may also engage in confabulation.
According to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, there are two key components of confabulation. The first is when a person creates a false response. For example, someone could ask them, "Where's the best place you've ever visited?" They may respond with a story about a trip to Antarctica, including details, even if they haven't ever been to the continent. The second is when they don't think further about what they're saying and go on believing it without a second thought. This is very different from a person who is telling a lie with knowledge of their lie.
A person who doesn't have a condition that affects their memory or thought process will often say "I don't know" when asked a question they can't recall or don't know the answer to. A person with memory loss or affected brain may instead subconsciously create a story to fill in answers they can't think of.
If you have a loved one who is prone to confabulation, you may want to talk to their doctor or a therapist about the best way to treat it.

Well-Being Grants for Farming Communities will provide small to large grants of between $1,000 and $50,000 to organisations and community-led initiatives that will help support the mental health, long-term well-being and resilience of farming communities.
Wentworth Healthcare, provider of the Nepean Blue Mountains Primary Health Network (NBMPHN), is funding these grants through the Federal Government's Empowering our Communities initiative, which aims to help farmers, families and communities deal with the uncertainty, stress and anxiety of drought conditions.
"Coming from a farming family myself, I understand the financial and emotional strain extreme weather conditions can have on farming families and the wider community," said Lizz Reay, CEO of Wentworth Healthcare.
"Significant parts of our region have been identified as being impacted by drought and the objective of these grants is to support organisations and community - led initiatives which will promote individual and community resilience and help reduce the stigma associated with mental illness ," she said.
programs aimed at building community networks and social cohesion for farming communities.
Those eligible to apply for grant funding include not-for-profit organisations, community groups, individuals or organisations auspiced by a not-for-profit, social enterprises, local governments, sporting clubs and the like.
"We are open to a variety of proposals from a range of community groups and organisations that will help support the immediate and long-term mental health needs of our farming families and communities," said Ms Reay.
"Our aim is to make the application process as simple and as easy as possible, as we want these grants to start making a difference to people in affected areas as soon as possible ," she added.

Ocean Spray Makes Cranberry Sauce 'Wiggle' Wildly In Holiday Campaign
How do you try to move cranberry sauce from a side dish to a center-table, holiday table attraction?
In the case of Ocean Spray, by making it wiggle wildly to its own dance track created by Mack Goudy Jr.—AKA Paris The Black Fu—one of the founding members of The Detroit Grand Pubahs music group.
It's part of Ocean Spray's "Power Your Holidays" campaign from New York agency Orchard Creative.
This 60-second spot begins with six bored-looking people gathered at a table laden with the usual turkey, pumpkin pie and other foods. The only sound is that of a ticking clock.
Things change abruptly when a man walks in with a dish bearing three logs of Ocean Spray cranberry sauce that start to wiggle.
After a few seconds, the bewildered diners also start to wiggle and jiggle uncontrollably in their seats as boredom is replaced by a full-out party scene.
"There's something hypnotic and captivating about watching jelly jiggle. It's hard to be mad when you see it. We took that truth and followed it to its illogical conclusion," Orchard Creative CCO David Kolbusz said in a news release.
"Ocean Spray has always been about bringing joy to the holiday with the power of cranberry," a brand rep tells Marketing Daily.
"This year, we simply wanted to create a story that celebrates that power in a fun way. We're just having fun putting some extra joy out into the world."
In addition to the campaign spot running on television and digital platforms and a media partnership with Vox, the song will be available on Spotify this month.
The Detroit Grand Pubahs are best known for their 2000 single "Sandwiches", which reached #29 on the Dance Club Songs chart.
Ocean Spray is an agricultural cooperative owned by more than 700 farmer families.

In a world of death and chaos, how can they ever hope to be together again?
Lydia Jones is ready to spend the rest of her afterlife mourning the man she once loved more than life itself. That is, until she is offered a special position from the angels as Fate, the pure soul who makes the impossible choice between life and death over all the mortals. Centuries have passed since Luke Rogue had begun his search through Afterlife for the love of his life. Just when he thought she had moved on to Afterlife, Fate appears, ready to claim the soul of a loved one and bringing with her the demons of their past. Overjoyed, he wants to pick up where they left off, but Fate is less than agreeable to his intentions.
Determined not to be distracted from her destiny by love, Fate tries in vain to ignore her desires for Luke at every turn, but her heart fights against her resistance. With every touch, every word, and every heated kiss, Luke chips away further and further at the wall she had so carefully erected around her heart, softening her resolve while chaos reigns around them. But with evil stepmothers and stepsisters, demons, and monsters, is all hope for their love lost? Or is there still a chance that true love can truly conquer all?
"Rogue Fate" the new novel by author Amanda T. Fox will be available worldwide through Beacon Publishing Group on January 11th, 2019, reserve your copy on Amazon today!

2 November 2014, 10:41 am EST By Jim Algar Tech Times
Closing a regulatory loophole in laws covering live animal imports into the U.S. could prevent a deadly fungus disease presently killing salamanders in parts of Europe from entering this country, experts say.
A recently identified fungus, Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, is decimating wild populations of fire salamanders in the forests of the Netherlands.
The fungus, which likely originated in Southeast Asia around 30 million years ago, probably was introduced into Europe by international trade in wild Asian newts, popular pets among amphibian fanciers, researchers say.
A screening of some 1,400 salamander and newts along with frogs at sites in North American and South America showed no trace of the deadly fungus, they report in the journal Science.
But that could change, they say.
Chinese fire belly newts are known to be potential carriers of B. salamandrivorans, and between 2001 and 2009 some 2 million of the creatures were brought into the U.S. for the pet trade, they say.
If any of them were infected -- and it would take just a few animals so affected -- then "it's a question of when, not if, this fungus reaches North America," study co-author Carly Muletz of the University of Maryland says.
Laboratory tests have confirmed the fungus would be lethal to dozens of North American salamander species, the researchers say.
While there are U.S. laws regarding imports of live animals, they are focused on preventing the spread of disease to humans and livestock, rather than protecting native wildlife, says UM amphibian expert Karen Lips, who recently joined with other researchers in briefing Congress on the need to close this regulatory loophole.
"If scientists and policy makers can work together on this, we have a rare opportunity to stop an epidemic from spreading around the globe with potentially deadly effect," says Lips.
A possible threat to North American salamanders could be especially disastrous, as the region is a global hot spot for biodiversity in salamander species, the researchers point out.
More than 150 of the world's 655 identified salamander species make North America their home, they explain.
Scientists aren't sure as yet exactly how B. salamandrivorans kills its infected salamander hosts, although it rapidly invades the animals' skin, known to play a significant role in their respiratory systems.
The researchers say they are aiming at establishing a surveillance network that would monitor wild populations of salamanders and newts for any evidence of the fungus.
"This study captures a pathogen's first steps out of Asia," says Cornell University professor Kelly Zamudio. "The more globalized our world becomes, the more our biodiversity will be challenged by diseases moving into areas where they have never occurred before."

This Week in Weird, Nov. 28
Nov 26, 2008 at 12:01 AM Nov 26, 2008 at 4:57 AM
A roundup of unusual news of the past week as reported by GateHouse newspapers.
Man faces drug charges after he's caught asleep at the wheel
BEVERLY, Mass. -- A man police found asleep behind the wheel at a green traffic light early last Saturday morning was charged with several drug offenses, including possessing and distributing oxycodone and cocaine after he attempted to flee, allegedly scattering drugs in the process.
Police said they found Charles Jordan, 42, asleep at the wheel after receiving a call that a person was sleeping in a car.
Officers Timothy Mezza and Scott LeBlanc arrived at 5:41 a.m. to find Jordan sleeping behind the wheel of his car at a green light at an intersection, according to a statement from Officer John McCarthy, the Beverly Police department's spokesman.
After trying a few times, Mezza was able to wake up Jordan, who, when questioned, admitted he had a suspended driver's license. When he was getting out of the car, Jordan dropped a small container and began running away. As he was running, he also threw a plastic bag. After a "brief foot pursuit," the officers caught Jordan and arrested him, police said.
Both the container Jordan dropped and the plastic bag he threw had drugs in them, McCarthy said.
Police brought Jordan back to the police station and charged him with a subsequent offense of operating a motor vehicle after license suspension, trafficking cocaine, a subsequent offense of possession with the intent to distribute heroin, a subsequent offense of possession with the intent to distribute oxycodone, drug violation near a school zone, a subsequent offense of carrying a dangerous weapon — a spring loaded knife, resisting arrest and an open container violation.
Bizarre dispute lands man in jail
MORGAN COUNTY, Mo. -- An altercation between neighbors this past weekend led to one man locking himself in his neighbor's house and later being taken to the hospital with head injuries.
According to Sheriff Jim Petty, deputies were called to an Ivy Bend residence about 10:30 Friday night with a report of shots fired.
While some details remain unclear as the sheriff's department continues its investigation, Petty said when deputies arrived at the home, they found that 40-year-old Joseph Gower had been involved in some type of physical altercation with family members. At one point, shots were fired in the Gower residence, although apparently not aimed at any particular person.
Petty said he did not know who fired the gun, but said Gower had threatened to kill several people, including a 16-year-old juvenile at the home.
Gower, who had allegedly been consuming alcohol, then went over to his neighbor's home, where he locked all the doors.
Petty said deputies could see him through the windows sitting in a recliner and then laying on the couch.
The owners of the residence were contacted for a spare key to the front door.
Deputies were able to take Gower into custody without further incident.
However, he was soon on his way to an area hospital by helicopter. Gower was suffering from brain swelling and other injuries he had suffered sometime during the fight at his own residence, Petty said.
Petty said four guns were seized from the two homes.
More mystery meat found
FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- The mystery of the Town Centre common meat continued as a resident found another pile of meat.
Precinct Seven Town Meeting member Chris Walsh said several people checked the common Tuesday night at 11:30 p.m. and it was meat-free.
But Wednesday between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., someone discovered the apparently rotting meat on the common, he said.
"I don't think we've seen the whole cow yet, but we're getting pretty close," Walsh said.
Unlike past weeks where the meat looked like it was recently purchased, Walsh said today's meat looked rotten and had several smaller pieces around it and a pile of gristle.
It was the sixth week in a row the meat was found on the common, he said.


text: Q: iOS showNativePicker() messes with title area If I invoke Display.getInstance().showNativePicker(Display.PICKER_TYPE_TIME,...) on an iOS device, my title area get messed up. It's usually a blue gradient without margins, with a white icon to the left and a white text font. "native:MainBold" is selected in theme.res. When the picker appears, the title icon text get drawn on top of the existing title area, shifted down and left. The text is now black and not-bold. Sometimes the black text even appears in two places. When I dismiss the native picker dialog, the title area looks more normal, but the margins are now non-zero. The reason I'm not using a Picker is that I need to know if the users pressed OK or Cancel. I'm not sure if a Picker would have helped either, as I copied the code directly from Picker.java. Is this by design, and can something be done about it?

Or more aptly, watching a skein of handspun and/or handdyed yarn dry. Today, at work I took the time to get in my allowed breaks. During this time I stayed off the office internet and picked up my knitting needles. Yes, I am still working on the same second sock that I started last November. Don't worry though, its not second sock syndrome. It's I don't have time to do anything let alone knit a sock syndrome! Well, that's probably not very true. I do have time but can often be found loafing around on the internet doing "something."
So, I was working on my sock and thought, for all the progress I felt like I was making, I sure didnt get anywhere. How sad is that.
Why do socks seem to go so slowly? At least for me - hats,scarves, and even sweaters seem to go faster.

Q: Where to store calibration files for a custom Linux device driver I've been writing a Linux device driver for some measurement devices I'm attaching to my Raspberry Pi.  I've created my kernel module and an application to access the character device driver, but the device needs to be calibrated regularly and I need to store the calibration data somewhere.  Where is that data usually stored?  My best guess is /etc, but I'd like to hear from someone who knows more about this than I do.

A: Per the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, /var/lib/ might be the right place:

This hierarchy holds state information pertaining to an application or
  the system. State information is data that programs modify while they
  run, and that pertains to one specific host. Users must never need to
  modify files in /var/lib to configure a package's operation.
State information is generally used to preserve the condition of an
  application (or a group of inter-related applications) between
  invocations and between different instances of the same application.
  State information should generally remain valid after a reboot, should
  not be logging output, and should not be spooled data.

/etc isn't right for calibration data, since /etc should be able to be mounted read-only.

Hastings' Endangered Species Act "Reform"
is the Movie Groundhog Day All Over Again
by Jamie Rappaport Clark
Huffington Post, February 12, 2014
Rep. Doc Hastings recently released a report and a set of proposals that would effectively gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA), severely curtailing the act's ability to protect the nation's most imperiled species. He calls it ESA "reform," but the real goal of Rep. Hastings' proposals is to drastically weaken or eliminate key protections in the ESA, long a goal of corporate special interests and polluters.
If you think that you have seen this "movie" before, you have. Just like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, I feel like I have relived this ESA "reform" moment numerous times before. While the lead characters may differ, the script is always the same. About every six years or so, some anti-environmental member of Congress decides that the time has come to "reform" the ESA into oblivion. Lest they be accused of championing the extinction of manatees or whooping cranes, they always first profess their deep love and support for endangered species, never hastening to list some of the most beloved charismatic ones. Then they roll up their sleeves and lay out their plans for a step-by-step dismantling of the law.
There are important reasons though, why the ESA has endured. Decades ago, when America faced smog-choked skies, polluted waterways and the near extinction of some of our most iconic species like the bald eagle and grizzly bear, the nation collectively decided that our treasured natural resources needed protection, that they were too valuable to our way of life and our economy to let perish or further degrade. Americans came together to safeguard our nation's air, water and wildlife and our leaders passed some of this country's bedrock environmental laws: the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act.
But today, members of Congress like Rep. Hastings have turned their backs on the values our nation embraced decades ago when we passed these laws. They have forgotten or forsaken their responsibility as stewards of our natural resources.
And sadly, more and more, it seems too many members of Congress are siding with development, logging, oil and gas, mining, and other polluting industries, who for decades have laid blame for all types of economic maladies at the ESA's door. The ESA is a law that these groups simply want to go away, and if it won't go away, they want to make it meaningless. And it would appear they have an ally in Rep. Hastings.
Make no mistake: we can absolutely protect imperiled species and habitats for future generations, even as we grow our economy. In fact, when we work together to protect our natural resources, we reap numerous economic benefits. Economists estimate that value provided by natural habitat in the nation's 48 contiguous states amounts to $1.6 trillion annually -- equivalent to more than 10 percent of the U.S. GDP.
But fear-mongering that pits conservation against the economy is what people like Rep. Hastings seem to prefer and so he promotes tall tales to prove his points. In fact, it is just window dressing for gutting the ESA, a deregulation goal that Hastings and polluting industries have sought for decades.
Hastings and his friends can continue to throw false accusations at the ESA, but they can't change the fact that, ultimately, support for or against the ESA will come down to a question of Americans' values. Are we a country that still believes we should protect our nation's imperiled wildlife heritage for future generations? Or are we going to abandon decades of meaningful endangered species progress and allow anti-environmental ideologues to dismember the ESA, accelerate species extinction, and pass on a more compromised environment to our children?
Because in the end, the bottom line is this: Rep. Hastings' proposal will cause more extinctions by imposing new road blocks to listing new species deserving of the act's support. It will also provide significant loopholes to circumvent wildlife protection. Worse still, it will cut out the ability of citizens and watchdog groups to make sure the government does its job and complies with the law.
So please think twice when you hear Rep. Doc Hastings and his congressional allies with anti-environmental voting records say it's time to 'reform' the ESA. Their real goal is to make it go away, condemning us to a future without many of the incredible wildlife and plant species we have cherished for generations.

Eagles denounce DeSean Jackson's 'appalling' anti-Semitic posts; WR issues apologies
Written By Jordan Heck
@jordanheckff
(SN/Getty) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sporting_news/79/6e/desean-jackson-081219-getty-ftr_1qac9qlapm6a418ttodjfp20c8.jpg?t=-1967437188&w=500&quality=80
UPDATE 3: Jackson posted a second apology, this time to the Jewish community, Lurie, Roseman, coach Doug Pederson, the Eagles organization and Eagles fans. He also tried to explain what he was doing with the initial post. "My intention was to uplift, unite and encourage our culture with positivity and light. Unfortunately, that did not happen," he wrote. "I unintentionally hurt the Jewish community in the process and for that I am sorry!"
UPDATE 2: John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported Tuesday evening that Jackson and his representatives met with Philadelphia rabbi Doniel Grodnitzky and that Jackson has pledged to educate himself. The report also said that Jackson apologized personally to Eagles principal owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman. Pro Football Talk noted that both men are Jewish.
UPDATE: The Eagles have released a statement regarding DeSean Jackson's social media activity this past weekend.

— Philadelphia Eagles (@Eagles) July 7, 2020
Jackson also posted an IGTV post apologizing for his posts. In addition, he deleted the posts on his page that were promoting Louis Farrakhan.
I post a lot of things that are sent to me. I do not have hatred towards anyone. I really didn't realize what this passage was saying. Hitler has caused terrible pain to Jewish people like the pain African-Americans have suffered. We should be together fighting anti-Semitism and racism. This was a mistake to post this and I truly apologize for posting it and sorry for any hurt I have caused.
A post shared by Desean Jackson (@0ne0fone) on Jul 7, 2020 at 8:50am PDT
"I just want to first off, extend an apology on behalf of me," Jackson says. "I never want to put any race down or any people down. And my post was definitely not intended for anybody of any race to feel any type of way, especially the Jewish community. When I posted what I posted, I definitely didn't mean it to the extent that you guys took it. ... I just, probably shouldn't post anything that Hitler did. Because Hitler was a bad person and I know that."
Jackson says he was trying to "uplift" and "enlighten" African-American people when he sent the post.
The NFL also issued a statement on Jackson.
"DeSean's comments were highly inappropriate, offensive and divisive and stand in stark contrast to the NFL's values of respect, equality and inclusion. We have been in contact with the team which is addressing the matter with DeSean."
According to NFL Media, any discipline for Jackson would come from the Eagles, not the NFL.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson shared an anti-Semitic quote on Instagram that was attributed to Adolf Hitler and promoted controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
The quote he shared from Hitler was attributed to the Nazi party leader in the image Jackson provided, but research shows the quote is not real. The screenshot appears to come from the book "Jerusalem" by Dennine Barnett, according to the Philly Voice, but the origin of the quote itself is somewhat a mystery. A Snopes article has a different version of the quote and concludes it is a "hoax quote."
Still, Jackson shared the message to his 1.4 million followers on Instagram.

On Monday, Jackson posted additional screenshots in a slight form of apology.
"Anyone who feels I have hate towards the Jewish community took my post the wrong way," Jackson said. "I have no hatred in my heart towards no one!"
Still, Jackson didn't apologize for sharing a fake quote attributed to Hitler. Instead, he just blacked out certain parts of the quote. But the section he left still has anti-Semitic language.
(DeSean Jackson / Instagram) https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/sporting_news/66/f9/desean-jackson-ig_h63rqwwzo9cxz3wne7kyfs9a.png?t=693049915&w=500&quality=80
Jackson also spent time during the past few days promoting Farrakhan. Farrakhan has shared anti-Semitic messages in the past, such as in 1984 when he said, "Hitler was a very great man." The Anti-Defamation League has a 32-page document displaying the language Farrakhan has used against Jewish people.
From the ADL:
For over 30 years, Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), has marked himself as a notable figure on the extremist scene, verbally attacking Jews, white people and the LGBT community. In recent years, Farrakhan has embarked on a wide-ranging campaign specifically targeting the Jewish community, which has featured some of the most hateful speeches of Farrakhan's career as head of the NOI. Farrakhan has alleged that the Jewish people were responsible for the slave trade and that they conspire to control the government, the media, Hollywood, and various Black individuals and organizations.
Jackson encouraged his followers to listen to Farrakhan during his speech on July 4. During that speech, Farrakhan warned people not to take a coronavirus vaccine. During that speech, he also stated an unsubstantiated claim that Bill Gates and Dr. Anthony Fauci were working on a vaccine so they can "depopulate the Earth."
"They're making money now, plotting to give seven billion, five-hundred million people a vaccination," Farrakhan said. "Dr. Fauci, Bill Gates and Melinda — you want to depopulate the Earth. What the hell gave you that right? Who are you to sit down with your billion to talk about who can live, and who should die?"
#farrakhan This man powerful I hope everyone got a chance to watch this !! Don't be blinded. Know what's going on !!
Jackson's posts were met with backlash. One notable voice was that of former Eagles president Joe Banner, who tweeted his displeasure about Jackson's anti-Semitic messages.
If a white player said anything about AA's as outrageous as what Desean Jackson said about Jews tonight there would at least be a serious conversation about cutting him and a need for a team meeting to discuss. Which would be totally appropriate. Absolutely indefensible.
— Joe Banner (@JoeBanner13) July 7, 2020
The Eagles have not commented on the situation. Eagles beat reporter Les Bowen said, "I will eat my phone if DeSean Jackson hasn't been persuaded to apologize profusely by Tuesday afternoon." Bowen expects Jackson to pledge money in addition to an apology.
