The electorate has more often dissented than complied with this point of view. In 1995 Prime Minister Alain Juppé's attacks on welfare provision provoked the largest protests since 1968. In 2005, the eu constitutional referendum was met with a resounding 'No'. In each case politicians and media pressed for France to 'change', 'work harder', and generally align itself more closely with the Anglo-Saxon neoliberal model. When the public opposed these changes, the conclusion from the frustrated advocates was that theirs was a failing, archaic country, if not racist and xenophobic.
Unanimous thinking—a more accurate translation of the renowned pensée unique would be 'the only thinking'—is not, of course, confined to France. But in the Anglo-Saxon countries, from the eighties on, the free-market agenda has generally been spearheaded by politicians, with the media playing an adjutant role. Thatcher's blitzkrieg against trade unions, state ownership and public services was driven through by the Prime Minister and her Cabinet, and the latter two campaigns at least met with scepticism if not disapprobation from large sections of the media in the uk. More recently, the wars prosecuted by Bush and Blair in Afghanistan and Iraq also encountered some media opposition: Downing Street demanded the removal of two bbc chiefs over a broadcast that threw doubt on Saddam Hussein's supposed weapons of mass destruction. In France, however, the structural positions emerging since the 1970s have been reversed, with the media playing the leading programmatic role. It is from news anchors, radio presenters, mediatized intellectuals and editorialists that the 'there is no alternative' campaign has been most sustained.
Another difference in the French scene: this overpopulated ménage has been closely monitored and satirized since the nineties by a small but determined band of observers including Serge Halimi, Pierre Rimbert and Henri Maler, who publish their findings online at Acrimed and in Le Plan B magazine. Why despair when you can laugh? This spirit drives the most exceptional product of their work: Halimi's Les Nouveaux chiens de garde, a short, explosive book originally published in 1997 and now substantially updated. At the outset of Sarkozy's tenure, this scathing and consistently hilarious political pamphlet reads like a satirical preface to the Sarko experience. It gives an exceptionally well-documented account of the operations of the French media in the spirit of Voltaire. Halimi is an editor at Le Monde diplomatique, and author of three other books, including a 600-page study from 2004 of the neoliberal order worldwide, Le Grand bond en arrière. The subject of Les Nouveaux chiens de garde brings out the mischievous jester in him as he delivers the story of this 'universe of connivance' with great pace and clarity.
What Halimi describes, though he does not explain its origins, could be said to have begun with the crystallization of French media and political elites around the new liberal agenda; the key moment in this process being the establishment of the Fondation Saint-Simon in 1982 by François Furet (president at Sciences Po), Roger Fauroux (director of the multinational Saint-Gobain), Alain Minc (Fauroux's associate) and Pierre Rosanvallon. As Rimbert elsewhere explains, this 'social-liberal society for reflection' recruited its members along a modernizing arc spanning 'the intelligent right to the intelligent left'. Its programme was to purge both left and right of their atavisms, and set the country squarely on a liberal-atlanticist track.


The Discipline Committee hears matters of professional misconduct or incompetence.
Cases are referred to the Discipline Committee for a hearing when the Inquiries, Complaints and Reports Committee (ICRC) determines, after conducting an investigation, that there is no other recourse that would address the concerns that they have about a dental hygienist's conduct or competence.
Discipline hearings are similar to court proceedings. They are open to the public.
To conduct a hearing, members of the Discipline Committee sit in panels. Each discipline panel must be comprised of at least three members – two public members and one must be a dental hygienist member of Council. Panels are typically comprised of five members.
Direct the Registrar of the College to impose specified terms, conditions or limitations on the dental hygienist's certificate.
if the act of professional misconduct was the sexual abuse of a patient, requiring the dental hygienist to reimburse the College for funding provided for the patient for counselling and therapy, and requiring the dental hygienist to post security to guarantee payment.
revoke the dental hygienist's certificate if the sexual abuse consisted of or included certain acts. Such a revocation must be for a minimum of 5 years.
The panel may also require the dental hygienist to pay all or part of the legal, investigation and hearing costs and expenses.
A copy of the Decision and Reasons of the Discipline Committee may be found here.
The Discipline Committee also hears applications for reinstatement – an application by a former registrant of the College whose license was suspended or revoked by a direction of the Discipline Committee to be reinstated as a registrant. To date, the Discipline Committee has not convened any reinstatement hearings.
The laws and rules by which the Discipline Committee conducts hearings are the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, the Statutory Powers Procedure Act and the Rules of Procedure of the Discipline Committee of the College of Dental Hygienists of Ontario.
You can see a list of the members of the Discipline Committee here.
For more information about the Discipline Committee, please contact the Director, Professional Conduct at 416-961-6234 or by email at hearings@cdho.org.

"The Anna Scripps Whitcomb Conservatory (commonly and locally known as the Belle Isle Conservatory) is a greenhouse and a botanical garden located on Belle Isle, a 982-acre island park nestled in the Detroit River between Detroit and the Canada–United States border. The park itself consists of 13 acres of preserved land for the conservatory and its botanical garden.
The conservatory, along with the neighboring Belle Isle Aquarium, was designed by renowned architect Albert Kahn and built in 1904, and was remodeled and renovated several times years after. In 1953 the structure was named in honor of Anna Scripps Whitcomb, who left her grand collection of 600 orchids to Detroit, and made several generous donations afterwards. The building of the Belle Isle Conservatory itself possesses a strikingly impressive domed center reaching 85 feet in height, which houses the exotic palm trees and plant life from South America to the jungles of Southeast Asia. " On the East side of the Conservatory is a beautifully landscaped pond (filled with Koi and Goldfish during warmer months).

Q: Breaking apart some Ruby code taken from Rails Would someone be able to break down the Ruby specifics of what each of these statements consist of in as far as methods, parameters, block interpretations etc. This is very common to see in Rails code and I'm trying to understand how the Ruby interpreter reads this code:
respond_to do |format|
  format.xml { render :layout => false }
end

In as far as I understand, respond_to is a method that's taking one parameter to it, a block. So I'm guessing it's written something like:
def respond_to(&block)
    block.call
end

.. or something similar?
in the block itself, format is the object respond_to passes into the block and xml is what the request is set to, at which point it calls a block in itself if the request is asking for XML type data and goes ahead and invokes a render method, passing it a keyword based argument, :layout => false?
Would someone clean up my understanding of how they above works. This type of code is all over Rails and I'd like to understand it before using it more.

A: This is a typical Implementation Pattern for Internal DSLs in Ruby: you yield an object to the block which then itself accepts new method calls and blocks and thus guides the interface. (Actually, it's pretty common in Java, too, where it is used to get meaningful code completion for Internal DSLs.)
Here's an example:
def respond_to
  yield FormatProxy.new(@responders ||= {})
end

class FormatProxy
  def initialize(responders)
    @responders = responders
  end

  def method_missing(msg, *args, &block)
    @responders[msg] = [args, block]
  end
end

Now you have a mapping of formats to executable pieces of code stored in @responders and you can call it later and in a different place, whenever, whereever and however often you want:
respond_to do |f|
  f.myformat { puts 'My cool format' }
  f.myotherformat { puts 'The other' }
end

@responders[:myformat].last.call # => My cool format
@responders[:myotherformat].last.call # => The other

As I hinted at above, if instead of a dumb proxy object that simply uses method_missing, you were to use one which had the most important methods (xml, html, json, rss, atom and so on) predefined, a sufficiently intelligent IDE could even give you meaningful code completion.
Note: I have absolutely no idea whether this is how it is implemented in Rails, but however it is implemented, it is probably some variation of this.

A: You've basically got it, and the source code is readable enough to figure out what's going on. When you want to source dive something like this, there are only a few steps needed.
1. Figure out where Rails is.
$ gem environment

RubyGems Environment:
  - RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.3.5
  - RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i686-darwin9.8.0]
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2009.10/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  ...

2. Figure out where in Rails the code is.
$ cd /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.7-2009.10/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems  # installation directory from above + "/gems"

$ ack "def respond_to"

...
actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/mime_responds.rb
102:      def respond_to(*types, &block)
...

3. Dive in.
$ vim actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/mime_responds.rb

A: If you have such kind of questions or not sure how things work, the best way to find it out is to go to the source (which in Ruby is very readable).
For this particular question, you can go to mime_respond.rb. Line 187 ATM.
The comment explains:
# Here's the same action, with web-service support baked in:
#
#   def index
#     @people = Person.find(:all)
#
#     respond_to do |format|
#       format.html
#       format.xml { render :xml => @people.to_xml }
#     end
#   end
#
# What that says is, "if the client wants HTML in response to this action, just respond as we
# would have before, but if the client wants XML, return them the list of people in XML format."
# (Rails determines the desired response format from the HTTP Accept header submitted by the client.)

Additionally respond_to takes a block OR mime types to respond with.
I would really recommend to have a look at the code there.
The comments are very comprehensive.

A: def respond_to(&block)
    block.call
end

This is the definition of a method with one parameter. The & tells the interpreter that the parameter may also be given, when we're gonna' call the method, in the block do ... end form: respond_to do puts 1 end. This parameter can also be any object that responds to a call metod (like a Proc or a lambda):
a = lambda{ puts 1 }; respond_to(a)
respond_to do |format|
   format.xml { render :layout => false }
end

This calls the respond_to method with one parameter, the do ... end block. In the implementation of this second respond_to method this block is called similar to the following:
def respond_to(&block)
    block.call(@format) # or yield @format
end

so in order to conform to the 1 parameter call, our block of code must also accept 1 parameter, which in the do ... end' syntax is given between the bars|format|`

Scheu & Kniss was founded in 1915. The founders of the company were Louis Scheu, Sr. and Louis Kniss. Mr. Scheu had been a tool maker at Ahrens and Knotts Company, now know as American Standard. Mr. Kniss had been a supervisor in the brass finishing department of the same company. The company moved to its present location in 1921.
In 1964, the leadership of Scheu & Kniss passed to the hands of Louis Scheu, Jr. and Alvin Kniss, sons of the founders. Twenty years later, in 1984, Alvin Kniss, "Al", purchased the Scheu held stock, making Scheu and Kniss 100% owned and operated by the Kniss family. In 1996, Al Kniss passed away, leaving Larry and Marvin Kniss to carry on the tradition of the Scheu & Kniss name with quality and service to our customers.
In July of 2001, Scheu & Kniss was acquired by Elizabeth Carbide Die Co., Inc. Elizabeth is known world wide as the premier manufacturer of punches and dies for tablet presses. The history and relationship of Elizabeth Carbide and Scheu & Kniss go back many years. The products offered by each company compliment the other and is a perfect product combination for any sales professional. For many years prior to the acquisition, Elizabeth and Scheu & Kniss utilized many of the same independent sales representatives in the U.S. and abroad. There could be no better fit for two companies to come together.

Historic Huguenot Street celebrates its opening day under new management
by Geddy Sveikauskas
in Local History

There is such a thing as a business of history, a national expert in the interpretation of historic sites recently said. He hastened to add that he didn't simply mean a greater focus on revenue than on mission and vision.
"Public historians simply cannot dismiss the imperatives of revenue and the market — even our very particular market, where sentiment is of considerable value — because by ignoring them we stand the risk of wrecking endowments, destroying donor confidence, alienating guests, and therefore, after hiring consultants who frequently do more harm than good," Taylor Stoermer explained. "The business of public history represents a very fine line to walk between revenue and mission, but it is one that we must follow, which requires public historians, especially leaders of sites and programs, to be historians, marketers, media experts, tech geeks, entrepreneurs, lawyers and politicians, all wrapped into one."
Dr. Stoermer's views are of particular significance locally because in January he began working under a ten-month contract as director of strategy, development and historic interpretation at Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) in New Paltz. This past Saturday, May 3, HHS celebrated its opening day under its new management. Stoermer has promised "fresh interpretations of the historic houses, new tours across the settlement and a diverse range of special programs to better connect our guests with the history and heritage of this special place."
He calls himself a "history doctor." His patients are places like HHS, which have plenty of historical artifacts, resources and often buildings but insufficient visitation and income. The history doctor gives such organizations advice. In HHS' case, that advice will be summed up in a strategic plan due before the end of the year.
Based on his resumé, Stoermer appears to be several cuts above the average outside gun hired to spruce up a local heritage tourism site. Since the mid-Hudson region in general and Ulster and Dutchess counties in particular are rich in incompletely recognized historic sites worthy of interpretation, it will be instructive this year to watch this national expert handle the planning and management of what he calls "one of the most unique historic sites in all of America."
Twelve members of a strategic planning committee, composed mainly of tourism bureaucrats, historically minded local public officials and HHS board members and staff (including Stoermer), had been announced in late February. Late 2014 adoption of a strategic plan was promised in that press release.
Educated at Johns Hopkins and the University of Virginia, Stoermer earned his Ph.D. in American history and has taught university courses on such subjects as 18th-century Virginia, Thomas Jefferson and his world, English history, the British Empire, and gender in early America. He has participated in various scholarly programs at prestigious institutions. He also worked for three and a half years as Colonial Williamsburg's research historian.

Bellator 116 originates tonight from Temecula, California and features the semi-finals of the heavyweight tournament! Refresh or revisit this page as often as you like while the recap is in progress for the latest updates.
Our referee in charge is 'Big' John McCarthy. Here we go! Mighty Mo is in the blue and white trunks. He has a takedown at 48 seconds. Volkov has the solid blue trunks. He gets back up and McCarthy calls for more work once as they are stuck against the fence. They break and reset of their own accord. Mighty Mo seems to be laboring a bit. VOLKOV LANDS A LEFT HIGH HEAD KICK AND MCCARTHY WAVES IT OFF AT 2:44 OF R1. After commercial Michael Williams confirms it and Sean Wheelock hits the cage to interview him. The translator says that for him that it doesn't matter who he fights in the finals: "Both guys are tough." Rampage Jackson is at cageside for our next fight.
Coy is 5'10", 170.6 pounds, 14-4, fighting out of Coconut Creek, Florida by way of Portland, Oregon. McDonough is 5'10", 170.9 pounds, 10-0, fighting out of St. Cloud, Minnesota. Our referee in charge is Mike Beltran. Here we go! Coy is in the red trunks, McDonough the black and blue. It only takes Coy 21 seconds to get a side trip takedown - not surprising since he wrestled for Oregon State. McDonough is warned not to grab the fence as he gets back up. McDonough escapes and they move back to center at 1:44. McDonough lands a counter left and Coy shoots. McDonough largely avoids the takedown but does eat an uppercut as he breaks free. Coy goes for a single leg and can't reel it in. COY GETS HURT AT 3:39 and McDonough starts racking him up with hands on the ground trying to get the finish. Coy stands but he's wobbly and his mouthpiece has come out. Coy shoots out of desperation and actually gets a takedown at 4:28. Beltran calls time washes out the mouthepiece and makes Coy put it back in - keeping them in the same position the whole time. It was so quick it didn't effect Coy's recovery time - the bell saves him either way.
McDonough is up 10-9 as we start R2 and he's been rocked again in the first 20 seconds. ONE MORE LEFT HOOK ENDS IT AND BELTRAN WAVES IT OFF AT 0:30 BY TKO. He definitely didn't need to be dropped again - that was the right time to stop it. He's still unsteady on his feet as he gets back up. Michael Williams makes it official and 'Big Gunna' McDonough advances to the finals. Jimmy Smith interviews him. "Nate Coy is one of the most underrated welterweights in the world - I was just going to keep my composure and go from there. I just needed to win 2 out of 3 rounds." We move on!
We see highlights of Brett Cooper knocking out Kendall Grove to advance to the middleweight tournament finals. We get edited highlights of the other half of the bracket - Joe Pacheco vs. Brandon Halsey - airing earlier in the night on Spike.com. Halsey picked up a unanimous decision through "relentless pressure" to earn a finalist spot against Cooper. Time for a bonus bout!
6-2 fighter vs. 6-1 fighter. Rainey is in the purple trunks and Murad is in the black trunks with red trim. RAINEY HURTS HIM WITH A RIGHT HOOK AND POURS IT ON UNTIL HE GETS A STANDING TKO - and only standing because Herzog got in the way and Murad couldn't fall down on his face. He's also bleeding profusely from multiple facial lacerations. Turns out it was a left high kick that grazed the forehead that opened up most of the cuts, and you see Murad stumbling around as Herzog rushes in. OFFICIAL TIME 1:11 OF R1 FOR RICKY 'THE SNIPER' RAINEY. He improves to 7-2. Tito Ortiz is in the crowd watching. Our evening's other heavyweights are getting taped up backstage but before that we've got some special attraction action!
14-10 vs. 27-7 - but it may be more telling that Beltran is 32 and Matyushenko is 43. 6'1", 204.5 pounds, fighting out of Carlsbad, California in the gray trunks is Beltran. 6'0", 205.5 pounds, fighting out of El Segundo, California by way of Belarus in the white trunks is Matyushenko. Jason Herzog is our referee for this fight. Here we go!
Beltran is trying to use speed to his advantage - and I would too if I was looking at the jackhammer biceps of The Janitor. He may be older and slower but if he catches you with a shot it's going to hurt. As long as Beltran keeps getting in and out like this Matyushenko can't catch him, and when he lunges forward trying to land one Beltran gets out of the way. Beltran eats an overhand right with short time left in R1 but keeps coming. I'd say he outboxed his way to a 10-9 R1 and definitely did some damage to the Janitor's nose.
Jimmy Smith thinks Matyushenko did better in R1 then hedges his bet by saying "I don't think either guy can think he has it in the bank." Beltran continues to be effective with the right and is mixing in body shots. Janitor lands a good right hand and that turns into a stand and trade. Beltran comes forward with a hard right of his own. It's starting to feel like these guys will hit each other until one falls down and the crowd wants the Janitor to be that one - they are chanting JO-EY JO-EY. Jimmy Smith gives high marks to Matyushenko's jab. Beltran stuffs a takedown at 3:24. Beltran's best shots come late in the round as you see some blood coming from the Janitor's jaw. Both men land hooks at the bell ending R2.
Smith has the Janitor up 20-18 going into the third. Beltran continues to work strikes to the body as the crowd cheers him on. The left hand is touching the Janitor's head and he has a mouse under his right eye, and as Wheelock and Smith note, he's also got welts on his ribs. The blood coming through the teeth and lips of Matyushenko is telling as well. The Janitor is definitely slowing down and Beltran ends up on top at 2:52 as Matyushenko is looking for a takedown - and BELTRAN TURNS IT INTO A NORTH SOUTH CHOKE WITH 1:54 LEFT. That's only the second submission win ever for The Mexecutioner.
Michael Williams confirms it - 3:06 OF R3 FOR THE SUBMISSION BY BELTRAN. Jimmy Smith asks about his frame of mind in R3. "I thought the first round could have gone either way, he got the second round, I knew I had to come out and dominate the third. To my kids at home, nieces and nephews, with hard work and unbreakable will dreams can come true. Ten years ago I was doing bad stuff to myself, to my body, and I decided I didn't want to end up that way. To have a night like this in front of my friends and family is a dream come true." Matyushenko takes off his gloves and says he's leaving them in the cage - this is his last fight. They shake hands and show each other respect.
Tito Ortiz says he got medically cleared last week and says he's got a fight on May 17th on PPV against a badass 185 pound fighter - Alexander Shlemenko is on the other side of Jimmy Smith. "Tito, I respect you, but I must beat you." Ortiz: "I'm here to fight for my country. He's here to fight for his country. May the best man win." Shlemenko is going to come up to 205 and fight at light heavyweight! I have to admit - that's an intriguing fight. Shlemenko might normally be overmatched going up a weight class, but this is not the Tito Ortiz of ten years ago - we'll have to wait and see what happens!
Our final fight of the evening! Ivanov survived a stabbing in Bulgaria that left him in a medically induced coma for 86 days. Johnson is no stranger to danger though - he's got scarring from a driveby shooting on the 4th of July where he ate three bullets. "I'm a blue collar guy, I work hard for everything I've got, and I plan on keeping it." Tale of the Tape: 10-0 to 18-8, 27 to 36, 6'1" to 6'4", 255.7 to 245.3, 73" to 80" from Ivanov to Johnson. Ivanov hails from Sofia, Bulgaria in the white trunks and Johnson hails from Madera, California in the white/blue trunks. Our referee in charge is 'Big' John McCarthy. Here we go!
Ivanov puts Johnson up against the fence and gets a single leg takedown at 1:01. Volkov goes for a foot lock submission and winds up pulling Johnson on top of him, and they're both standing at the 2 minute mark. Ivanov tries to grab the head for a guillotine but Johnson turns it into a body slam and has a full mount for a second but stands when Ivanov gives up his back. Ivanov pushes him into the fence again and lands a big left to the chin. He hits a head and arm throw and has side control but lets go of a key lock then grabs another. IVANOV GETS THE TAP AT 4:08 OF R3 AND MOVES ON TO THE FINALS. No commercial break this time - we stay until Michael Williams confirms the finish. That's not all for tonight - we have a bonus bout!
7-0 vs. 7-2 and a five inch reach advantage for Lins - 79 to 74. Lins is in the black trunks and Clark the white. LINS LANDS A LEFT JAB THAT ROCKS CLARK AND POUNCES on the ground. Clark tries to get back up but can't because Lins has taken his back and sunk in the arm underneath the neck - CLARK TAPS OUT QUICK. Sean Wheelock says this is the first fight for Lins outside Brazil and he made it a good one! Mike Beltran waits to raise the winner's hand until Michael Williams makes it official - 0:40 OF R1 VIA REAR NAKED CHOKE FOR PHILIPE LINS. That's it for Bellator tonight!

Welcome New Chapter President, Brandon Dwyer
By Brandon Dwyer
I am Brandon Dwyer and I'm very happy and motivated to serve as the next president of the WestSlope Chapter Trout Unlimited. I have the tremendously tall task of living up to Mark Kuiper's leadership of this chapter during which time the chapter grew to be the second largest in Montana (let's catch Bozeman!!!) and received top level national recognition for chapter projects and conservation dollars raised (TU National- Silver Trout Award).
As president of the WestSlope Chapter, I have the goal of maintaining the momentum that our board/membership have created, and to also grow that momentum through modernizing our digital presence, growing our school/educational programs (like Trout in the Classroom), creating a one-of-a-kind fly tying fellowship (we call ourselves The ThreadHeads), and be a champion for our remarkable women's program which brings new exciting energy to fly fishing and conservation (@missoulaflygals). It can't be done alone and I am so very fortunate to have a committed, passionate, connected, and collaborative board that are really the ones that make it all happen.
If you want to know a little about me… I'm a born and raised Montanan, growing up in the cold-water cathedral of the Flathead Valley, I attended college at the University of Montana while suffering as a football player with not enough time to fish, did a professional stint after college in Billings Montana, and moved back to Missoula to be closer to family and for a fulfilling career as a community banker.
I look forward to being the leader of the WestSlope Chapter and working with all of you to create, inspire, and conserve great things for our WestSlope Country.

Obama's Roots A Source Of Pride — And Discord — In Kenya
By Gregory Warner
Published July 24, 2015 at 4:14 AM MDT
Workers finish installing a billboard showing Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta and President Barack Obama in downtown Nairobi a day before Obama's visit.
The billboard that President Obama will see when he exits the airport in Nairobi on Friday says: "Welcome Home, Mr. President."
Obama's Kenyan roots have been a source of pride, but at times a source of discord, too, in the land of his father's birth.
For example, when Barack Obama won the U.S. presidency in 2008, Kenyans were ecstatic. His victory was declared a national holiday.
But by the time of his re-election in 2012, Kenyan audiences celebrated him less as the son of a nation than as the son of a particular ethnic group.
"There were a section of Kenyans who celebrated, others who cursed and mourned, seeing Obama as a Luo," says Caleb Atemi, a Nairobi-based media consultant.
That perception played into a leadership battle between Kenya's two dominant tribes.
2012 was the run-up to an election year in Kenya. On one side was Raila Odinga, an ethnic Luo like Obama's father, Barack Senior. On the other was Uhuru Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's first president and a Kikuyu.
The polls were neck and neck. One month before the election, in February 2013, Johnnie Carson, then Obama's Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, said:
"We as the United States do not have a candidate nor a choice in this election process. But ... choices have consequences."
"Choices have consequences" referred to charges against Kenyatta in the International Criminal Court — that he'd orchestrated violence during the last election, in 2007.
Obuya Bagaka, a professor at Nairobi's Kenya School of Government, says the phrase marked a pivot in U.S.-Kenya relations. Kenyatta's campaign went on the offensive and spun it as an attempt by America to meddle in African politics. Obama was cast as favoring a particular candidate.
Many observers at the time thought that the U.S. did seem to be favoring one candidate — the one who wasn't accused of war crimes. Obama's Kenyan roots became an issue. Carson's words were spun in Kenya as evidence of the American president's ethnic favoritism. And there was a backlash by Kenyan voters. Uhuru Kenyatta squeaked by with a victory.
As president, Kenyatta made a point of courting China with a "Turning East" policy. President Obama flew over Kenya on his July 2013 Africa trip, but did not land. Relations between the U.S. and Kenya took a hit.
Then, in September 2013, Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Mall was attacked by the Islamist group Al Shabaab. President Obama called President Kenyatta to offer support. U.S. aid to Kenya's military skyrocketed.
The two countries' trade relationship also improved. Kenyatta was a guest at the U.S.-African Leaders Summit, convened by the White House last summer. And Friday, President Obama will make good on his 2013 promise to visit Kenya before the end of his term.
Of course, one could have started this history even earlier, with the bad blood between Obama's father and Kenyatta's father.
Obama's father, Barack Senior, had public disagreements with Kenyatta's father, Jomo Kenyatta, the first Kenyan president. It was seen as a political dispute exacerbated by their ethnic differences.
Or one could go back to the scholarship Barack Senior was awarded in 1959 to study economics in the United States, where he would leave behind a son in Hawaii who would grow up to become president — the first sitting U.S. president to visit Kenya.
Homecomings are complicated.

'Halo': First Series Image Sees Pablo Schreiber Suit Up as Master Chief!! Check It Out!!
December 9, 2021 · by Mirza Baig	· in Features, TV.	·
2022 seems to be the year for science fiction and fantasy, and with the show's first official teaser arriving at today's Game Awards, Entertainment Weekly has premiered the first official image from Paramount+'s Halo series, showcasing star Pablo Schreiber suited up as John-117 — better known as Master Chief, the enigmatic protagonist of the video game franchise.
Suited up in the hefty green and orange mechanical armor recognizable by fans and laypeople worldwide, Schreiber looks perfectly at home in the twenty-sixth century, a soldier in a seemingly unending war against a race of aliens known as the Covenant, raised from childhood to know nothing but war and combat.
As Schreiber's first leading role, after appearing as a featured star in series like American Gods and Orange Is the New Black, the actor described the task of taking on Master Chief to EW as "herculean," the kind of job that requires intense preparation, both mentally and physically as he prepares to introduce the world to his version of a beloved video game hero:
"It's a huge job, from setting the tone on set down to the grueling task of waking up at the crack of dawn to work out, then go to shoot, and go home to work out some more. Nothing about it is easy, and I wouldn't want it to be…[The project] takes place very much in the universe that the video games created, but it's a TV show. We get to expand that universe and create stories in it. There's going to be some new characters that are introduced, there's going to be a lot of familiar characters that everyone will know from the game."
The series is finally ready to hit Paramount+ in 2022 after a lengthy and rocky production period, making the jump to the popular streamer from Showtime after being traded for The Man Who Fell to Earth, an adaptation of both Walter Tevis's novel and its cult 1976 film adaptation starring David Bowie. The series is the third attempt to bring the sci-fi military franchise to the silver screen, after an in-game feature film and unsuccessful webseries both failed to garner a significant audience.
Also starring Natascha McElhone, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Natasha Culzac, Olive Gray, Yerin Ha, and the voice of Jen Taylor as Cortana, Halo will premiere on Paramount+ sometime in 2022, though no exact release date has been announced. Check out the image of Schreiber's Master Chief below:

'Brotherly': Boyz II Men Movie Musical in the Works From 'Space Jam 2' Director!! →


Eleven people have been injured, one of them seriously, on the Berlin set of Tom Cruise's new movie "Valkyrie" says The Daily Telegraph.
The group were hit by a truck on a curve in the Mitte neighbourhood during filming last night according to the police. Filming at historical locations in Berlin's government district was suspended and the truck was being examined for mechanical defects.
In Valkyrie, Cruise stars as Colonel Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg, a leader of the failed 1944 plot to kill Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler by placing a bomb in a briefcase at a briefing at Wolfsschanze, or Wolf's Lair, the German military high command in Eastern Prussia.
In related news, some new photos from the shooting have gone up at Movie Reporter.Net.


Pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world. Try to source your meat from a good local supplier — it should be humanely raised on natural feeds. Many different varieties of fresh shell beans are available in markets from late summer to early fall. Almost any one will work here, from flageolet or Jacob's cattle to lima. Or, try borlotti or cannellini, and use sage in place of the thyme.
Working with 1 pork chop at a time, wrap a pancetta slice around the outer edge of each pork chop. Secure with a toothpick, season the chop with salt and pepper, and set aside. Repeat with remaining pork chops and pancetta.
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add garlic and shallot and sauté until lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil. Add cranberry beans and thyme and simmer until bean burst, about 10 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and mustard and season well with salt and pepper. Turn off heat, but leave saucepan on burner to keep warm.
In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until shimmering. Sauté pork chops, turning once, until they are golden brown on both sides and pancetta is crispy, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If chops are browning too fast, reduce heat to medium.
Divide warm beans among individual plates, top each plate with a pork chop and sprinkle with parsley. Drizzle with a little olive oil and serve at once. Serves 4.

Die Avro Canada CF-100 "Canuck" war ein zweistrahliges Jagdflugzeug des kanadischen Herstellers Avro Canada. Der Erstflug des allwettertauglichen Abfangjägers fand am 19. Januar 1950 statt. Nach einer anschließenden Ausarbeitungsphase von weiteren zwei Jahren wurde der Typ im Jahre 1952 von der Kanadischen Luftwaffe (RCAF) in Dienst gestellt. Von den insgesamt 692 in unterschiedlichen Varianten produzierten CF-100 Canuck wurden auch 53 an die Belgischen Luftstreitkräfte ausgeliefert. Sie war das einzige Jagdflugzeug kanadischer Herkunft, welches in die Serienproduktion ging.

Konstruktion
Die Canuck war ein Tiefdecker mit einziehbarem Bugradfahrwerk und zwei Mann Besatzung. Die Tragflächen waren ohne Pfeilung. Ein Strahltriebwerk war jeweils rechts und links dicht neben dem Rumpf angeordnet und auf der Tragfläche aufgesetzt.

Die CF-100 "Canuck" glich weniger einem klassischen Jagdflugzeug mit einer geringen, denn einem Abfangjäger mit einer großen Reichweite. Dies war dadurch bedingt, dass es in den weiten, klimabedingt fast unbewohnten Gebieten Kanadas nur wenige und weit voneinander entfernt liegende Militärflugplätze gab. Eine große Reichweite war daher unabdingbar. Aufgrund des in der Nase des Flugzeuges eingebauten Radars war sie zudem der erste allwettertaugliche und zeitweise auch der einzige Jäger der NATO, welcher ohne Sicht oder bei schlechtem Wetter fliegen konnte.

Ab 1958 wurde die CF-100 "Canuck" von der North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) eingesetzt, welche heute als North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) bekannt ist. Diese von den USA und Kanada geschaffene Einrichtung hat den Zweck, den nordamerikanischen Luftraum effektiv zu überwachen wie auch zu verteidigen. Da die CF-100 "Canuck" nur eine kurze Startbahn benötigte, sowie eine hohe Steigleistung aufwies, war sie für diesen Einsatzzweck gut geeignet.

Obwohl das Flugwerk der CF-100 "Canuck" ursprünglich für eine Flugdauer von lediglich 2.000 Stunden konstruiert war, stellte man fest, dass sie über 20.000 Stunden genutzt werden konnte. Aufgrund der längeren Lebensdauer wurde sie, wenngleich bald in ihrer ursprünglichen Verwendung als Abfangjäger von der McDonnell CF-101 "Voodoo" abgelöst, weiterhin als Aufklärer sowie Schulflugzeug genutzt. Die RCAF musterte die letzten CF-100 "Canuck" schließlich im Oktober 1981 aus.

Robots and people working together to save water, enhance agriculture
By Lorena Anderson, UC Merced Wednesday, December 14, 2016

UC Merced professor Stefano Carpin and one of his robots
A nearly $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is helping University of California researchers refine collaborative robotic technology that could change the way crops are maintained worldwide, saving millions of gallons of water each year and taking precision agriculture to a whole new level.
The three-year Robot-Assisted Precision Irrigation and Diagnostics (RAPID) project is led by UC Merced robotics professor Stefano Carpin, UC Berkeley professor Ken Goldberg — director of the People and Robots Initiative at the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) and the Banatao Institute — and UC Davis biology and engineering associate professor Stavros Vougioukas.
Some studies estimate that 85 percent of the world's freshwater is used for agriculture, and existing methods of maintaining crops could be improved. The researchers plan to show they can conserve more water through co-robotics, with workers interacting with technology for precision irrigation, ideally at the individual plant level.
This comes from looking for ways to address drought and agricultural concerns," said Carpin, with the School of Engineering. "Anything we can do to save water is, and will continue to be, very important."
Beginning on the vine
For now, the research could make wine drinkers happy, too, as the researchers plan to start with grape vines after talking to growers in the Central Valley and Napa Valley about crop concerns.
The RAPID system includes small, plastic emitters — that cost about 25 cents each — attached to individual irrigation lines and precisely controlled by handheld devices operated by field workers or mounted on mobile robots. The devices signal the emitters to adjust the amount of water each vine receives.
With the handheld devices, Vougioukas said, the researchers will water each grape vine individually, making sure they can deliver the exact amount of water each vine needs to keep it healthy and achieving its best yield. Goldberg said the co-robotics system is far less expensive than more common retrofits to existing irrigation systems
"We want to start with grapes, because the final product so heavily depends on fine adjustments," Carpin said. "We've grown grapes for thousands of years, and we do it very well, but growing grapes is a tricky art and science. "You don't want too much water in the individual grapes. You need to stress the vines in exactly the right way to get a quality harvest, but not so little that the vines die."
The USDA grant — a first for Carpin and Goldberg — will support the researchers and their students over the next three years as they optimize RAPID. The project is part of the National Science Foundation's National Robotics Initiative, the country's premier robotics program, and involves three of the four UC CITRIS campuses.
Farmers are already using technology such as infrared sensing and drones to monitor fields from the air to focus on individual plants that are receiving too much or too little water.
"One remaining challenge is how to close the loop — how to adjust irrigation based on the aerial image data," Goldberg said. "This co-robotics system is the next generation of precision agriculture."
The robots have to be robust and sturdy, Carpin said, and the Central Valley is a good testing area — between the summer heat and the dust, it can be an inhospitable place for sensitive equipment. The tests will determine if the robotics can work as well in different environments as they have in laboratory situations.
The campuses are pursuing a joint patent on the technology, so there are commercial possibilities, Goldberg said. The potential for use in any agricultural application makes it a perfect illustration of the People and Robots Initiative and of CITRIS itself.
"This really is the core of what CITRIS was founded for," he said. "We want to develop technology that benefits humanity, the economy and the environment."
Robot-assisted precision irrigation delivery could help farmers conserve more water.

The reeds of alto (left) and tenor saxophones. They are of comparable dimensions to alto and bass clarinet reeds, respectively.
A single-reed instrument is a woodwind instrument that uses only one reed to produce sound. The very earliest single-reed instruments were documented in ancient Egypt, as well as the Middle East, Greece, and the Roman Empire. The earliest types of single-reed instruments used idioglottal reeds, where the vibrating reed is a tongue cut and shaped on the tube of cane. Much later, single-reed instruments started using heteroglottal reeds, where a reed is cut and separated from the tube of cane and attached to a mouthpiece of some sort. By contrast, in a double reed instrument (such as the oboe and bassoon), there is no mouthpiece; the two parts of the reed vibrate against one another. Reeds are traditionally made of cane and produce sound when air is blown across or through them.
Most single-reed instruments are descended from single-reed idioglot instruments called 'memet', found in Egypt as early as 2700 BCE. Due to their fragility, no instruments from antiquity were preserved but iconographic evidence is prevalent. During the Old Kingdom in Egypt (2778–2723 BCE), memets were depicted on the reliefs of seven tombs at Saqqarra, six tombs at Giza, and the pyramids of Queen Khentkaus. Most memets were double-clarinets, where two reed tubes were tied or glued together to form one instrument. Multiple pipes were used to reinforce sound or generate a strong beat-tone with slight variations in tuning among the pipes. One of the tubes usually functioned as a drone, but the design of these simple instruments varied endlessly. The entire reed entered the mouth, meaning that the player could not easily articulate so melodies were defined by quick movement of the fingers on the tone holes. These types of double-clarinets are still prevalent today, but also developed into simplified single-clarinets and hornpipes. Modern-day idioglots found in Egypt include the arghul and the zummara.
Examples include clarinets, saxophones, and some bagpipes. See links to other examples below.
422.2 Single reed instruments: The pipe has a single 'reed' consisting of a percussion lamella. These are the percussion reeds including clarinets and saxophones.
422.3 Reedpipes with free reeds: The reed vibrates through [at] a closely fitted frame, and there are fingerholes.
†The lowest possible pitch of each clarinet and saxophone is dependent on its manufacturer and model (the pitches used are typical of professional instruments).
The ligature, mouthpiece, and reed of a clarinet. These three components are present in many modern European Classical single-reed instruments and tend to be aesthetically and mechanically similar.

Because of the late start, the members agreed that the reading of last meeting's minutes would be by-passed so they proceeded to go over the financial statement immediately. The account for the side streets' maintenance had a negative balance carried over from the last financial year. It was offset by transferring funds from the miscellaneous account. The Administrator offered to handle the financial budget so there would not be any minuses, but Mr. Simms said that he had already taken care of the transfer.
With the slow season coming up, it will be necessary to mow the side roads only once per month, allowing for a saving. The Chairman said that the contractors were explained the situation when they started, but Mr. Curry thought it necessary to remind them again before it happened.
The next item on the agenda was to resolve a problem concerning garbage pick-up on a certain road which is no longer accessible by the present garbage truck. After deliberation the issue was settled when a member proposed to hire a flatbed from Desmond Bootle to transport the bins to the garbage truck. It was agreed to give him compensation. The administrator asked to be advised at the next meeting of how the situation would be ultimately resolved.
Another expense that popped up was the cleaning of the town after the hurricane, an expense that the members thought should be reimbursed by Central Government. The administrator agreed to pass on the request.
There was a demand from Abaco Central High School for help replacing equipment that was stolen in a break-in. Mr. Cunningham advised the Chairman to find out from Dr. Lenora Black if a similar request had been posted with the Department of Education. The Administrator thought that it would be encouraging the culprit to replace stolen equipment each time it was stolen.
The Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony was scheduled for December 13 at 7 p.m. Mr. Simms and Ramona Bethel were asked to spearhead the Christmas Committee.
The Chairman inquired from the administrator how to handle the noise problem. "My vision of Murphy Town is that of a quiet, respectable community," he said. He feels that commercial areas should not interfere with the peace of the residents living across the street. The issue of certain businesses operating in town without proper licensing was also raised. It was suggested that he wrote to the local Licensing Authority concerning both problems, with a CC to the same department in Nassau.
