On The Crest Of A Strike Wave
We have a guest post today, talking about the strikes spreading across the country that started in West Virginia. C. intermittently tweets as @thehousered and works as staff for an education union in rural America.
When the West Virginia teachers and support staff won their strike, elements of the Left heralded it as a sea-change with all of the fervor of fundamentalist hot gospellers. It's hard to fault this kind of enthusiasm. There's been precious little reason for it for decades; the horizontalist insurgencies against the World Trade Organization and Wall Street captured imagination, but failed to create enduring movements with the power to arrest the forward march of neoliberal capitalism. With labor teetering on the brink of ruin and a rising reactionary tide at all levels of politics, signs of militant life are like an unexpected oasis in the desert.
Surely, a big strike's victory means that the tide is turning, even only just a little bit, right?
It's reminiscent of nothing so much as the radical Scots Presbyterians of the late 19th century: Ulster men and women that believed that the social and political unrest that would soon erupt in armed rebellion was a sign of Christ's coming. Occasional millenarian thinking isn't new to the Left: there is always some crank predicting that the workers' revolution will manifest itself when the social conditions are just right. This analysis falls apart because it treats politics as a game of signs and portents, rather than a discipline requiring careful analysis. With such thinking layered on top of the dogmatic disputations between Left sects, one could be forgiven for mistaking some Left currents for Reformation theologians engaged in bitter dispute over John Calvin's writings or the particular meaning of religious scripture.
To believe that the West Virginia strike was a natural expression of the correct alignment of social forces isn't just wrong, it sells West Virginians short. The teachers, paraprofessionals, and support staff in West Virginia didn't win because of the bending of a cosmic arc; they won because of months of preparation and organizing, an impressive level of community outreach, and the strategic leveraging of county-level school management to provide political cover for the strike. In other words, as detailed by Bryan, West Virginians won because they did what strikes need to do: carefully and painstakingly build and organize a potent expression of working-class power.
Their success of the strike was predicated upon years of miserable decline, but that success is hardly reducible to the conditions that led them to walk out. It was a victory, and one rightly celebrated. It was also won because of the willingness of teachers and support staff to dig in for the long haul and buck a bad deal foisted on membership. There's no way around it: they won not just in defiance of the law, but their own state-level leadership. Moreover, their victory showed the potential of the strike in a way that even the rightly celebrated 2012 Chicago teachers strike did not: it showed that even in deep-red areas thought of as bastions of reactionary politics, workers can fight and win in the face of slash-and-burn austerity. Since then, action has spread to Kentucky, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Arizona, and Colorado, with rumblings of militancy elsewhere.
What it didn't show is that the fight would be easy, and the seeming collapse of the Oklahoma strike should be a sharp reminder that no road to progress is easy or guaranteed.
Although we should celebrate our victories, the aftermath of West Virginia and bold pronouncements of a march of victories led too many to believe that victory was assured elsewhere, in spite of grim political terrain and a lack of organization and preparation. Moreover, labor commentators have unwisely portrayed spasmodic unrest (in terms divorced from the organizing and infrastructure it takes to sustain it) as a means toward building enduring power.
Left behind in this discussion is a simple fact that should lead us toward caution: West Virginia and Oklahoma school employees struck in 1990, and it produced no enduring shift in the power relations between workers and management. When I visited the strike line in Wheeling, teachers remarked—with some weariness—that it was the second time in their careers they had to strike to maintain basic levels of compensation. Moreover, other comments—such as a rank-and-file organizer's support for eliminating the federal Department of Education—indicated that militancy does not naturally transmute into solidarity. It should be noted that right now the union at the federal Department of Education is right now under the gun of the most vicious union-busting in the federal sector since the destruction of PATCO.
There were and are reasons to be deliberate about attempts to replicate what happened in West Virginia. Before they went public West Virginia teachers planned for months and gradually built a powerful level of internal organization and consensus on their goals and direction. In contrast, Oklahoma's strike was pulled together with little of that kind of painstaking preparation and organization that made the strike in West Virginia successful and without the deeply embedded culture of unionism and solidarity that pervades large segments of Appalachia. Teachers (and Left observers eager to take part) funneled into chaotic Facebook groups in which an unorganized mass attempted to sort out both goals and strategy.
That lack of mid-level leadership and structure is the key difference between West Virginia's strike and Oklahoma's. With it (and with West Virginia having only 55 school superintendents whose arm you needed to twist into closing school, as opposed to the 520 in Oklahoma), the striking workers were much better positioned for sustainable pressure against the austerian governments in West Virginia than they are in Oklahoma. An early warning sign was the push to strike early, during testing week, under the theory that it maximized leverage. It was reminiscent of the push among some segments of AT&T workers to strike early during the iPhone 8 launch, despite the fact that the bargaining CWA locals hadn't yet reached sufficient internal support and organization to strike from a position of strength.
Striking workers generally prevail when they undertake the strike when they're ready, and on their own terms. The next time these workers prepare to withhold their labor, I would bet money that it will look very different from this time.
Even before the Oklahoma Education Association called for the strike's end, Oklahoma's public employee union ended their support for demonstrations at the state capitol. Oklahoma Education Association leaders indicated that a majority of their membership is uncertain about the strike's future, and that's likely true in the face of the legislature's intransigence about education funding.
This is no critique of the workers of Oklahoma. They risked much and fought hard, and did so because many could no longer stand the grinding scorched-earth austerity issued by legislative fiat and stamped with Mary Fallin's imprimatur. It is an austerity that threatens not only them, but the future of every child in Oklahoma. No worker that withholds their labor in the pursuit of economic and social justice deserves condescension, no matter their ultimate success or defeat. But we need to learn from the strike's seeming failure. To build on West Virginia's success, we must be reminded that no victory is assured, and that we are fighting enemies of extraordinary power. To genuinely organize to defeat them, we must treat the strike seriously as an instrument of working-class power.
And we must resist the temptation to treat worker struggle as a fetishized gesture where Left activists are tourists on holiday.

The Festival Celebrates 50 Years of Bringing International and Independent Cinema to Chicago
Published: August 27, 2014 | Filed under: Festival News
Celebrating 50 years of making Chicago an international destination for acclaimed filmmakers, bold new directors and lovers of cinema, the Chicago International Film Festival returns October 9-23, 2014. The anniversary celebration will kick off with an Opening Night Gala presentation at the Harris Theater (205 E. Randolph St.), followed by a Golden Anniversary celebration at the Chicago Cultural Center. All other Festival screenings will be held at the AMC River East 21 (322 E. Illinois St.). Programming and ticket information will be announced at a future date.
On November 9, 1965, a 22-year-old Michael Kutza launched the Chicago International Film Festival at the Carnegie Theatre on Rush Street. A mere eight films competed in the feature category, but, even in its inaugural year, celebrated figures including King Vidor, Bette Davis and Stanley Kramer attended to support what would become North America's oldest competitive international film festival. Fifty years later, the Festival has earned an international reputation for discovering groundbreaking directors, including Martin Scorsese, John Carpenter, Wim Wenders, Liv Ullmann, Peter Weir, Mike Leigh, Margarethe von Trotta, and Chicago's own William Friedkin and Joe Swanberg, who are but a few of the hundreds of world-renowned filmmakers recognized early on in their careers by the Festival.
"Since its founding, the singular goal of the Chicago International Film Festival has been to introduce Chicago and the world to new filmmakers, new stories and new perspectives," said Founder and Artistic Director Michael Kutza. "Five decades later, the Festival has grown to become a highly respected annual event, showcasing films from more than 50 countries, with filmmakers from around the world in attendance. Each year we rigorously pursue the best in international cinema as well as the cutting-edge work of new talents in our steadfast commitment to share the most innovative and ambitious cinematic art with our audiences."
One of the Festival's most notable features is the vast diversity of offerings, with numerous competitive categories and several highlight programs such as Black Perspectives, Cinema of the Americas, ReelWomen, Out-Look, After Dark, and the City & State program, showcasing films made in Chicago and throughout Illinois. In 2014, the Festival will shine a spotlight on Scandinavian cinema.
"As we mark this great milestone, we also celebrate the Chicago International Film Festival's position as one of the city's most vibrant arts organizations," said Film Festival Managing Director Vivian Teng. "Drawing people from all walks of life from across Chicago and beyond, the Festival is a place where audiences come together in their common love of film to share in the art of visual storytelling and expand their worldview."
The complete Festival schedule will be announced September 16, 2014

(Redirected from Eton)
For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Eton College.
"I had great fun at Eton, then I invented a machine that could roll 18 spliffs a second... The rest is a bit blurry."
~ David Cameron
Eton School for Twatcraft and Toffery is a public school somewhere in the south of England. It's highly secretive and inbred council select special children at a young age to be educated to the highest standards available. Later in life these Etonites are forced into important political positions where they can control undesirables by the guidelines of their forebears, and generally be the tough, unpalatable and repulsive crust on the 70's leftover dessert which is conservativism in Britain. Eton's students can be categorised in the following ways:
Clones, ie David Cameron
Mutants, ie Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Boris Johnson (Thus far the only known model)

Etonians During Mating Season[edit]
Eton School or College[edit]
Basically the most awesome public school this side of the horsehead nebula. 'Nuff said.
The school boasts its own private army, that have been used in Iraq & Afghanistan.
Eton is near Windsor, where the Queen does most of her knitting, and the Duke of Edinburgh can be regularly seen mowing the lawns. The pupils keep in line largely to avoid having to have a conversation with the Queen or the Duke. Conversations with old people such as the Queen are known to cause death by lethal snoring and coma, not to mention lethal corgi bites.
Eton was first opened in 1440, having previously been a Bakery (it was originally called Eaten), and prior to that a dairy farm.
It is very popular with English boys, and so every Friday they eat Fish & Chips.
The reasons behind the ridiculous penguin suits are blurry. The most we mere mortals can gather (Etonians being immortal, superhuman and all-knowing) is that they are leftover chemical/biological protection suits from the short, but lethal war on Slough.
The war on Slough[edit]
"Not bovvered" - A spokesperson for the "chav" community.
There have been many wars on Slough since 1440, no one quite knows how many, but most scholars agree that it is between 5 and 39.6. The most famous of these was the "Chav-fest" of 1879, in which 376 brave etonians volunteered to go undercover in order to find out more about Slough....ians. Unfortunately, they decided that they rather liked it and on of them had 2 for 1 vouchers for Burberry, so they defected and formed the new breed known today as the "Chav". The experiment has not been repeated.
Famous Students[edit]
Include: Pope John Paul II, Jimmeh Bond, Kurt Cobain, Charley 'boy' Windsor, Bob Marley, Val Doonican, David Cameron, Mahatma Ghandi, Boris Johnson, Dr Who, Ned Kelly, Marilyn Manson, Kim Jong Il, 50 Cent, Lars Ulrich, Harry Potter and Orgasma bin Laden (now Osama bin Laden, Lord Snooty, You, Just William, The Boys From The Famous Five, Adolf 'Adi The Bender' Hitler, Chico, Harpo, Groucho, Gummo, Zeppo Marx (who all got better grades and wear more popular then that Hitler Boy), Lord Voldermort, The Master, Harry Flashman, and, oddly enough, Hugh Laurie but not Stephen Fry.
Infamous Students[edit]
Britney Spears (who was expelled refusing to sleep with all the other inmates. She slept with all but one, Ghandi, whom she refused when she found that he drank his own piss).
The Eton Rope Song[edit]
The college sing the Eton Rope song on special occaisions such as haloween, armastice day, and Ronald McDonald Week.
The song celebrates the hanging of slaves in Alabamba, and Teexus, and was written by George W Bush, as a gift to the college, for keeping it mainly white.
More recently, however, it has come to be associated with the Darwinistic craze of asphixiated masturbation which swept through Eton in the late 90s, and still remains to this day
Traditions[edit]
Oxbow Lake: A method of brainwashing in use since the 1960s.
Penguin Racing: An embedded tradition. Thought to date back to a time when it was utterly normal and even encouraged. Also performed upon entrance to the school.
Egging Slough: In a daring night-time raid all 1234 boys descend upon Slough and proceed to egg the city. This year casualties were at an all time low with the worst injury being a ruined hairdo.
Shooting the Scumbags: In which the pupils empark on horseback across the country wielding shotguns to be fired at the proles.
Eton Rifles: A tradition that harks back to 1977 this involves acting like your are from the street and thinking your well hard.
Coke: The use of copious amounts of Cocaine is a right of passage at Eton. Best enjoyed off the back of a fag.
Elton: This is a sister school where Etonian students are sent if they choose to "leave the closet" at any time.
Etonian Circle Jerk: When the Etonaian's have a big game of soggy biscuit. They sprinkle thier jizz over a fruit and eat each others "Eton Mess"
College Facts[edit]
Most students are there as a result of intensive inbreeding.
School traditions include induction huffing week, Ransacking Windsor, under age drinking trips to Norway, and nanny fondling.
Students must be able to yodel and perform as a lion tamer, to be enrolled.
The school is the birthplace of terrorism.
The school has a no smirking policy.
The school also has a no anal virginity policy.
At the end of lessons three boys are chosen at random and lead of to the Head Masters study, to perform the school bending ritual.
All students are taught the dangers of women, and the safety of being with the chaps, and that dancing naked with them is nothing to be ashamed of.
Drug experimentation is encouraged, with cocaine, and spliff's, available at the school tuck shop. LSD is provided during lessons, and all students must have a six month Heroin habit, before being allowed to leave.
Gay sports lessons are mandatory, Chess is played naked, Cricket includes a special over called the bend over, & archery is replaced by arching.
British Policemen stop by Eton to fill jails with deliquent students, the so-called "Eton Collars."
All students are guaranteed top results, with teachers expected to sit the exams on their behalf in return for 'special favours'.
It is one of the key education grounds for worshippers of Ra.
Prince Harry & Prince William, never attended Eton, instead doubles went on their behalf, while they hatched a plan to get rid of 'the old lady'.
David Cameron is one of the more recent 'celebrity' attendees leaving in 2002. He was well liked by his fellow students, as he was senior drugs dealer, however he suffered from mood swings and it is rumoured killed 2 students when he was in 'one of his fascist moods'.
On the fourth of June every year etonians don flowery hats and parade in a naked cult way in front of swarms of girls from nearby correctional facilities who are looking for suitable husbands for a life of drug dealing and gun crime. Unfortunalty for them the etonians are only interested in 'bum chums' and so the girls are left to turn on each other. Parents stand by wearing barbers crossed with sunday best wiping a tear from their eye because they are so proud of their darling Gazza.

Most of these articles I have personally written.
There have been a few where I take information from one of my peers in the training buisness. I always note that.
We all learn from each other- whether it be our own research or someone else's, we all get it from somewhere. I write about not only what I believe, but what I actually incorporate into my life and my clients and ultimately works.
My life goal is to continue to get healthier and better each year. Enjoy my articles, and leave any questions you may have.


Most people think "Google" when you talk about website optimization, because of its status as the behemoth that dictates search rules; But lead optimization goes beyond Google.
It's also about capturing leads before they get away - maintaining the trust of real human beings who are trying to decide whether or not to abandon your site. For most people, that decision is made in less than 5 seconds.
Of course, people have gotten wise to those formats, and some will avoid them for fear of spam. There's also a long list of new formats, which take a more "give some to get some" approach. You provide something free in exchange for their contact information.
HubSpot calls these lead magnets because they attract by being helpful rather than being pushy.
Promote your lead magnets on social channels and cross-promote unique content across channels. This deepens your connections with potential leads by reminding them of your brand more often.
It's important to point out that social media marketing has changed in the past few years. In the past, it was enough to post company news on Facebook and then log out until later in the week.
Today, that's simply not the case. Your potential leads expect a constant flow of two-way communication through social media. If they ask a question, they want it answered promptly - in fact, Facebook shows people how fast your company typically replies and "within a few days" is a real turn-off.
In day-to-day lead generation, this means you must put someone in charge of answering social media inquiries as well as, or better than, phone calls. Each failed interaction is a missed lead.
If you put a picture of a new health product on Instagram and a follower comments, "Interesting. How much does it cost?" someone on your staff should answer within hours. In fact, if you can respond immediately, you'll open the door to social selling - a technique proven to drive audience engagement.
Use metrics like win rates, average deal size, conversions by campaign, and customer lifetime value by lead source. These will show the long-term effectiveness of your lead generation efforts, so you'll always spend your marketing dollars wisely.
If this seems like a lot to address all the time, it's because it is. You may need dedicated help from a healthcare-focused marketing agency to accomplish everything that is needed in order to optimize your lead generating activities.

Kylie Jenner Also Changed Her Daughter's Name

Kylie Jenner caused a stir this week when she announced her second child's name is no longer Wolf, and it's now been revealed that she also changed her daughter Stormi's name when she was born.
The reality star, who recently opened up about her postpartum 'struggles,' appeared on James Charles' YouTube channel back in 2018 and spoke about how the unique moniker was originally going to be spelt 'Stormie'.
She told the makeup guru: "It was always Stormie with an 'ie'. I bought custom things for her that said her name, 'ie'.
Watch the heartwarming video Kylie Jenner has shared about her newborn son here…
"I bought her the blocks, 'ie'. I didn't fully choose her name, I wanted to have a week of just me and her to see if I wanted to change it."
She added: "I had one other name in mind, but Stormi always felt like her name from when she was in the womb. It's almost like she chose her name."
Apparently, the 24-year-old made the decision to cut 'ie' from Stormi's name when it came to finalising the now four-year-old's birth certificate.
Jenner shocked her fans when she took to Instagram to let them know her son's name had changed.

Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner revealed that she had changed Wolf's name. Credit: @kyliejenner/Instagram
In her stories, she penned: "FYI our son's name isn't Wolf anymore. We just really didn't feel like it was him. Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere."
After she made the announcement, many of Jenner's fans took to social media and speculated that she changed the name because of her ex-friend, Australian influencer Tammy Hembrow.
The rumours originally began when the millionaire announced her son's name and Hembrow took to social media and shared a photo of her own child, alongside the caption: "My Wolf."
Amused, one commented: "Shady, love it."
"I'm glad I'm not the only one who made the connection mad quick and came to Tammy's page," added another.

Rated 5 out of 5 by paramiti from FUN FUN GAME!! Power Source is my Second Fav in the Series With Passport to Europe Being My First Cant say Enough Good About this Game Play and Replay it Over and Over!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by forc3766 from Loved this game. I debated whether to even try this game because of some of the reviews. I just finished my hour trial and will be buying this game. I love the BAL games and have finished 1,2,3 and on vacation. IMO this game is as fun as the others. If you like the other BAL games you will probably like this one as well.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TREE3 from Another unique installment loved the challenge of the power grid,,,thank you for this one.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiger2010 from The most difficult Build A Lot of the lot! Having played all of the other Build-a-lot games, and thoroughly enjoyed them all, I left this one until last. I simply wasn't certain that I'd enjoy a game all about 'green, clean energy'. Whilst this game is based on the same gaming engine as the others, it does play somewhat differently and I'm finding this much more of a challenge than the others. On some levels there is a lot of quick thinking and tweaking to do just to pass the level. As well as workers, you also need technicians to make your houses more energy saving friendly. You will need a workshop to train the former as well as a tech centre for the latter. In addition, you will need wind turbines, solar systems and other clean energy sources to collect enough energy to keep your town going. If you don't, it's 'Goodnight Vienna'. The whole town loses power, during which time you don't collect any rent at all, neither can you sell houses. Not only do the usual buildings weigh heavily against your overall 'Appeal', but so do the wind turbines and other solar energy devices. This makes reaching a certain 'Appeal' target a real challenge (two turbines, a recycling centre and the tech centre cost me -90 Appeal). Once I got my head around how to play this complex Build-a-lot, I started to enjoy it a lot. If you want a builder that's got loads going on and is very challenging, this is it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by sirrap21 from Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! Great Game! BAL4 was the first game I purchased on BF and it wasn't a bad buy. The best feature is the challenges you're given while to make deadlines, IMO it really isn't much time (probably why it's concered a challenge), but thank goodness for the pause button, lol. I'm impressed with the visuals. The ability to upgrade your homes, make them energy efficient, etc is awesome. But it's the tasks that I enjoy which reminds me why I love playing Time Management games. This game reminds me so much of Simcity4 it's crazy. I highly recommend this to people who enjoy a good challenge with a vast interest in redevelopment. Good Day!
Rated 5 out of 5 by anamneses27 from Another great game! I own all the Build-A-Lot games and love them all - this one is more of a challenge and great fun!
Rated 4 out of 5 by jass8404 from i liked it ! Very interesting, if u like this kind of game !
Rated 4 out of 5 by hotmomma1422 from unable to finish I own all 6. Have finished1235. Each had their own difficulties. This one I have barely been able to get into 'challenge' level. Has left me very frustrated. Even with walkthrough I've gotten not much more. I like the game but I would like to finish it!
Rated 3 out of 5 by Playagrl from Fun Time Management Game Don't particularly like time management games but this one was challenging and somewhat a "nerve racer", kept me occuppied when I'm bored stiff :)
Rated 3 out of 5 by catbag8717 from A Bad Mark on a Great Series For some reason, this one just didn't appeal to me. Good Parts: Blueprints have been automatically added so there's no need to waste money buying them. Technicians have been added for the power generators. I thought this new thing worked for the game. Great graphics. The new design of the game means great fraphics,something I've been waiting for. Casual Mode- I must admit, I never tried casual mode in the other games, but when I did, it was absolutely awesome. Pretty much everything is unlocked so there's no need to play the campaign. Awards added a great feel to the game. OK Parts: Power saving homes. I felt this added to the fun of the game, but sometimes this would have no effect on my power usage and would be a waste of time. Bad Parts: The entire power thing. I never had to worry about this in other games, and it really made the goals hard. Everything would always exceed my power limit so I had to waste so much time making energy saving homes. On top of that things that gave me more power had a negative effect on the neighbourhood, which drove down appeal on all the neighbouring houses as well, sometimes sending my appeal down by 30. The classic feel of the game was gone. Never hooked me. Not even once. Overall, this game was flat. It's a shame really, because this is such a great series.
Help friendly towns grow and glow by generating clean energy. Build solar towers and wind farms to make Build-a-lot green!

But as an engine accumulates miles, blow-by increases, dumping more unburned fuel into the crankcase (which dilutes the oil), in turn causing accelerated wear and engine problems, including: loss of performance and fuel economy as well as increased emissions and oil consumption. Thus, for peak performance you'll want your vehicle to have an oil. Nissan provides this essential service to all of our clients. And no one knows your vehicle better.
When determining when to schedule your next oil change in Nissan Mission Hills, suggest taking this into consideration: how you drive, the condition and age of the engine, the external environment you drive in, and the amount of stop-and-go versus highway driving. If you are unsure feel free to ask a technician at your factory authorized dealer Nissan Mission Hills.


Spotify could launch in India as soon as January 31.
That's according to a report published by Variety today (January 15), citing sources, and adding that the company 'is rumored to be hosting a launch party in Mumbai on January 31'.
India has a population of 1.3bn people and was the 19th biggest recorded music market in 2017, according to the IFPI, generating $130.7m.
In November, MBW revealed that Spotify hasn't been licensed by Universal, Sony or Warner for India (yet).
That story followed various reports suggesting that the streaming company could officially launch in the market within six months.
The story published by Variety today suggests that Spotify could launch by the end of the month without all of those deals in place.
The main reason for that even being a probability is yesterday's (January 14) news of Spotify's new global content deal with India's largest homegrown record label T-Series.
T-Series has a catalog of 160,000 songs, which means that Spotify could have enough content on its service to launch by January 31, a scenario which correlates with a suggestion made by another major label source in November.
"India is a market where the rights are so complex across many different labels," they said.


Xiaomi has finally announced their new flagship, the Mi9 after teasing the phone for quite a while. Xiaomi Mi 9 priceThere are two storage variants of the Xiao mi Mi 9. Plus, its highest variant features a massive RAM of 12GB.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 Transparent Edition As mentioned in the opening paragraph, the regular Xiaomi Mi 9 is accompanied by a Transparent Edition. The Mi 9 SE will be a more affordable offering at 1999 CNY.
The Mi 9 also boasts an on-screen fingerprint reader, NFC compatibility and an infrared remote for TVs and air conditioning units. The latest lineup features three smartphones - Mi 9, Mi 9 Explorer Edition and Mi 9 SE. It is worth noting that this SoC by Qualcomm has been manufactured on the 7nm process and it is a 5G-ready chipset.
The Xiaomi Mi 9 Transparent Edition is powered by octa-core processor and it comes with 12GB of RAM.
The Xiaomi phone features a rear-mounted triple camera setup with a combination of Sony IMX586 48-megapixel primary sensor, a 16-megapixel wide-angle lens and 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom support. Up front, the handset features a 20MP sensor that can also be used for face unlock in some regions.
The phone will come with a triple rear-camera set up, for starters, and its specs already show a lot of promise. It also seemed very impressed with the phone's ability to record 4K video by default and out of the box.
The Mi 9 comes with a 27W fast charger, which can fully charge the phone in little over an hour.
With a metal and glass chassis, the Mi 9 is backed by a 3,300mAh battery and runs Android 9.0 Pie based on the company's MIUI 10. Priced at CNY 3,999, it comes with Alita: Battle Angel branding. The phone packs 128GB of internal storage.
The Mi 9 SE is the most affordable among the three. The display has a waterdrop-style notch on the top and offers 600 nits of brightness. The in-display sensor is actually an upgraded scanner from Goodix, which should make for a faster and more reliable experience.
If you fancy buying the Mi 9, the basic 6GB version costs 2,999 yuan (converting to $446 or £342), while the 8GB version is 3,299 ($491, £376) yuan and the Explorer 3,999 yuan ($595, £457).
When you flip the phone around, you'll find a 20-megapixel selfie camera and a 6.39-inch AMOLED display - the device apparently has a 90.7 percent screen-to-body ratio - with FHD+ resolution. The new Mi 9 SE model could be priced between CNY 1999 to CNY 2999. But it isn't just the standard slow boat wire-free trickle charge that many phones have, as Xiaomi invested a little extra effort to create a special charging pad capable of sending 20-watts of juice to the Mi 9 wirelessly.
That investigation resulted in Cohen pleading guilty to bank fraud, tax fraud and campaign finance violations. The report appears to have no credibility, since the Cohen probe has continued unabated.

With the end of Campus Plus, he says there's an opportunity to change and innovate.
He says the newswire was the be-all end-all in the past. It was done by mail, fax, then email. Now people can pick and choose. He says you have to make sure the smaller papers still have a way to share. Should bureau chiefs write content? Are there enough people to write that content without them? They all used to do professional development. Regional events give people a chance to hear from those who know what's going on right now.
The stronger in the community need to take care of the weaker, he says. You have to decide whether to prop something else up if their failing.

This is a great keynote!
Question: How do you foster creative input?
Answer: When he started at the Gateway, it was the first year that the production was digital. Previously they used the waxer. Oh Lord.
On waxing: purplefusion.wordpress.com
There was a natural evolution. The production person used to be the one who managed the wax and the taxi. They created a features editor position, to have a more magazine feel.
From what I've seen from a few of the campus newspapers, they're a lot better than they were.
It's critical. Make it a theme of these conferences – have a couple of positions based on production and that design.
They also got all the editors involved in production and design.
Unfinished business: Something that should be destroyed – travel pool. Administratively, it's a burden. For the amount of paperwork it causes and financial complexity, it's worth a couple hundred bucks.

He looks back fondly at the conference nine years ago.

The data is the 30,000-foot view, he says. It's the big picture. Then you've got the micro level – how big is that farm? How many quarters does he have? That's also in the data. If you can present that micro level to your readers, in a way that relates to his or her own life, that's the key.
With the NYT example, you could find someone from your own town.

Mobile is Eating Journalism now. Just about to start!
Mobile is eating journalism (Matt Frehner)
In case you haven't noticed, something big is happening to the way we read. More than 75% of the cellphones in Canada are smartphones. Some 9.4 million Canadians check Facebook on their phone or tablet every day. And 34 per cent of you (yes, you) read news only via a mobile device. We're going to talk about what the mobile explosion means for journalism, and why it's critical to understand your audience as a group of fundamentally mobile readers. We'll talk about how mobile-first journalism helps us define the best way of telling a story, for all platforms. And we'll look at how The Globe has been working through these problems (and trying to make some money in the process).
Matt Frehner is the Mobile Editor at The Globe and Mail. He works to design and build new ways of delivering the news.
Mobile is growing. Yuuup.
The newspaper readers in Canada are reading print and mobile. Almost entirely bypassing desktop entirely.
The desktop is actually sinking. (Hmm!)
From Frehner's talk about mobile.
The biggest day to G&M's mobile traffic was Nov. 4 – when Rob Ford admitted he smoked crack.
They were busy in an editors' meeting, and Frehner was watching TV. Heard the admission, walked into the editors' meeting.
They waited a few minutes before pushing the information out. It's important to be accurate, he says.
If smartphones and tablets aren't accounting for 40 per cent of your readership, it's not them.
It's you.

No one showed the cartoons but our tiny little Western rag, he says.
An Imam debated him on the radio, he says. Rather than write a letter, he went to the Alberta Human Rights Commission and charged him, he says.
Here's some more information about that.
In February 2006, the Western Standard published the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons depicting Muhammad. Syed Soharwardy of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada and the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities complained about the publication to the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission and a hearing was scheduled for January 2008. On the day of the hearing Levant republished the cartoons on his website.

No one here opposes same sex marriage (or will admit to it). Most support abortion, and only a few who don't. The theory of global warming? Shouts from the audience that it's not a theory.

New faces and fresh ideas welcomed by markets committee
February 9, 2016 tcwadmin 2016, Local News
The Cobar Market day committee meet at the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club last
Wednesday. Hiroko Price, Sue Singleton, Ellie Russell, Heide Stone and Bec Wyllie
discussed the plans and direction that this year's markets will take.
The Cobar Market Day committee is planning a busy calendar for the year ahead with some fresh faces suggesting new ideas at a meeting last Wednesday at the Cobar Bowling & Golf Club.
Committee member Ellie Russell said at the moment they don't have a full executive (apart from Joy Martin who put her hand up to be president and Sue Singleton who declared an interest to fill the role of vice president) however they do have some enthusiastic new people who are keen to make the local market days bigger and better in 2016.
Ms Russell said the committee is in a trial period and a number of members from the previous committee are assisting them to organise the first market day for the year in March.
"We have general committee members that are looking to assist with the first market day before they put their hands up for any official positions," she said.
"There are lots of new ideas floating around but mainly we want to get back to the idea of a retail and producers market.
"We want to try and encourage local producers to attend to sell their home grown foods, or handmade foods rather than the markets being just another retail market day.
"We all agreed we'd love to move forward with the idea of a farmers' market-style as there are some amazing and talented locals who grow and make wonderful foods, preserves, jams and plants which is among other things that we'd love to encourage back to the markets."
Ms Russell said the committee had a focus on encouraging a wider range of market stalls to also include florists, wood crafters, food makers and bakers among others.
"We plan to promote the event locally predominantly, as of course this is a local event but we are also encouraging some surrounding towns to attend as well to offer an even larger variety of goods and create an even bigger event each time.
"We've already had some good interest from people in Bourke, Dubbo and surrounds," Ms Russell said.
The committee would also like to make the market days a bit more of an 'event' offering music and entertainment to encourage people to make a visit to the markets a family day out rather than people just browsing and leaving.
She said the dates for future market days were discussed at last week's meeting and the dates selected have been organised to avoid clashing with other local events such as Cobar Public School's Spring Fair and the St John's School Bazaar.
"We'd love to encourage anybody who is interested in getting involved, or even just interested to hear our ideas, to come along to our next meeting.
"There's no obligation to join the committee, we'd just love some local input or ideas," Ms Russell said.

Q: Converting JSON coordinates to numpy array I would like to convert a JSON file back into a png image or a NumPy array.
The file JSON file consists of a list of coordinates and other metadata. As an example. it would look like this :
 "firstEditDate": "2019-12-02T19:05:45.393Z",

     "x": 854.1249226963513,
     "y": 747.4458889557243
    },

(coordinates should be rounded to the nearest ones prior to creating the array or image)
The dimension of the array/ picture should be 1727 x 971
Is there any function in python that can convert the file either into an array with the value inside the array of the ClassIndex? Or into a picture where each ClassIndex is assigned to a specific color?

Shlomo at the front desk was helpful and welcoming. Food was good. Close to many things.
The staff were excellent and extremely helpful. They really did their best to make you feel at home and answer all the questions. The coffee was the very best!
The staff are nice. The room is small but its clean and the bed are comfortable. Its very near to train station. And old city. And also like the heater that other hotels dont have.
Location is good, rooms are very small, beds inconfortable, breakfast included and good, bathrooms very (I mean very) smal, wifi included, no parking.
This small hotel is located in the center of West Jerusalem but on a quiet plaza. The tram, bus, market, restaurants are all close by and it is a quick 10 minute walk to the old city. It is a great value for the price as Jerusalem hotels tend to be quite expensive. The rooms are clean, small but comfortable. The Hotel manger describes the hotel as an "Old Lady" as the building is from the 1930's. A nice Israeli style breakfast (fresh bread, assorted fresh salads, cheeses, yogurts and coffee/juice etc. is served) and hot coffee is available all day. They will store your luggage after check out which is nice.
The management, the personnel's kindness, the breakfast food, the location, the ease of booking tours from the front desk, and the ability to be picked up for tours and airport shuttles.
One of our top picks in Jerusalem.Palatin Hotel Jerusalem is located around the corner from Ben Yehuda street and the Mahane Yehuda food market, as well as the renowned Jaffa Street and the Mammilla Mall. Free Wi-Fi is provided throughout the property.
Rooms come with all the essentials such as air conditioning, a flat screen TV with cable channels and a private bathroom. The hotel has a 24-hour free access business center.
An Israeli-style buffet breakfast is served each morning. The city's lively Ben Yehuda Street and its numerous shops, cafés, restaurants and bars is just one block from the hotel.
The Jaffa Gate and the Old City are a 15-minute walk from the hotel. The tram stops around the corner and provides a connection to many of the Jerusalem's top sights such as the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Oriental Bazaar.

House Rules Palatin Hotel Jerusalem takes special requests – add in the next step!
Palatin Hotel Jerusalem accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival.
The bathroom was to small. Almost impossible to sit on. Price/quality rate is not so good.
Bathroom could definitely use some renovation, it was clean but very outdated, especially the shower. There is no coffee/tea in the room, you can get good (free) coffee/tea at the dining room, but not in the evenings and one evening their hot water machine wasn't available. There is no elevator in the hotel - so not very suitable for older people with lots of luggage.
The breakfast was not as expected. We got only white bread. The hotel must also pay attention to people from countries that prefer rough bread. The room we had needs renovation. There was TV in the room, but we didn't get to work. It would have been nice if the staff in the dining room could give the guests more smiles.
The hotel was very central. The man at the front desk was nice and treated us well.
The room was in terrible condition. There were stains on the towels. The floor, from 1936 looked as if it had not been cleaned since it was new. There was mildew in the bathroom, the room smelled funky, the calking in the bathroom looked like it was done by a five year old. The original fixtures and tile in the bathroom were olive green but, was badly painted over and peeling. There was a leak in the hall from the pipes still oprn. The hall was filled with things being stored: a box, paintings... The hotel site did not mention the need to walk up a flight of stairs to get to the reception and my husband has trouble with stairs. I had written asking to be in a room without the need to walk up stairs and they never mentioned the entrance. I have photos to show the state of the room.
The breakfast was good and the staff freindly.
Small, not very elegant room, but it was great for out purposes for this price.
Great local style buffet breakfast, small but clean rooms, with everything necessary in it (no fridge but we didn't need one). Close to the center, we could walk to every important site in maximum 30 minutes. There are also bus and tram stops in the neighbourhood.
Oldish, not good for person with mobility problems. The size of rooms and window down by law in Europe.
The Hotel is un very good conditions. Shlomo from the reception Was really kind with us and provided us with all the information we needed. We felt like home with their hospitality. Recommended to all travelers. Excellent loc! Near shops and restaurants.
Bathrooms date from 1960' and have not been renovated since.
Noisy. Needs update. Couldn't reach the towels. No lift. No restaurant except breakfast. Couldn't get blinds to raise.
The room we had was extremely small. Personnel at the reception desk was correct but far from friendly.
Hotel is close to the old city within 20-25 minutes walking distance. They also serve a nice breakfast.
The hotel is a bit old looking and so are the room. The breakfast is pretty basic.
The staff was amazing, extremely friendly and helpful. The location is excellent. Breakfast is included and you have free tea and coffees throughout the day.
I just wish we could've stayed longer!
Location was excellent both for the old city and local markets, the 24 hour concierge made you feel so secure and the staff were there really helpful, particularly Shlohmo. He was very patient recommending places to visit in Jerusalem it's self but also he helped organising guided tours to other places in Israel. The pace and atmosphere in the hotel was welcoming and peaceful.
There was a very impressive coffee machine in my room - lesser hotels merely provided a water heater. While the coffee on offer would have suited coffee aficionados, I, unfortunately, prefer tea!
Breakfast was expensive, no doubt to cater for the extensive variety on offer. I may be wrong, but I would be surprised if there was not considerable wastage after the meal. Is it necessary to have so many breakfast options available? While the breakfast was good, it would not have suffered from having fewer options.

Q: How do I obtain the coordinate vector of this set? I have 2 sets,
$S=${$(3,0,7,5),(6,5,5,6),(5,2,5,-4)$}
$T=${$(2,1,3,3),(1,1,0,-1),(0,1,-1,2)$}.
The first part of the question required me to find the transition matrix P from S to T. The second part of the question required me to obtain $(w)_S$ given that w is a vector in $ℝ^4$ and $(w)_T = (3,1,4)$.
What I have done so far is find the matrix P using Gauss Jordan Elimination, and this is the result I've gotten: $$\begin{bmatrix}2 & 2 & 1\\-1 & 2 & 3\\-1 & 1 & 2\\0 & 0 & 0\end{bmatrix}$$
The example given in my textbook tells me that the way to find $(w)_S$ is to find $P^{-1}$ so that I can use matrix multiplication of $P^{-1}$ and $(w)_T$ to find $(w)_S$. But P is not invertible, so that method can't be used.
Is there any way around this problem? Am I allowed to take out the zero row or is there any other way to find $(w)_S$ other than this method?


TIP! Freebies are great to use. Freebies make customers feel great and encourage them to come again.
Awesome article marketers become awesome by learning successful strategies from other awesome article marketers and experimenting with those strategies. The tips provided in this article are taken straight from the strategies that successful article marketers are using.

TIP! Your email newsletter needs to be full of quality content. Spam is very much disliked and there have been laws written against it.
A blog is a great, generally free, tool that you can use to promote your industry leadership. Use your blog to showcase your positive traits, such as your integrity, your experience, and your insights into the business world. Show that you are at the cutting edge of your market to gain new customers and retain old ones.
TIP! After you've written a while, you should have a large body of work online. If you feel like some of your articles are better than others, consider creating an eBook out of the great articles.
If your audience includes readers at different skill levels, tailor your articles to all of those different skill levels. If you are trying to market a product in your article that is very technical, include that information. Because not everyone will be familiar with the technical terms, explain them in simple terms, too. Catering to your entire audience will earn you credibility and respect.
TIP! Take advantage of tools to boost your profile. There are many tools available that will submit your article to article directories for you, hundreds at a time.
Stay as original as possible with unique content in your writing. When you write with personality, your readers will become more engaged in the authenticity and quality. Be direct while making points in ways that are unique to you and you'll get a lot more readers in the future.
Grabbing the attention of the reader is the most important part of article syndication. The author has numerous ways that create attention-getters based on nature of the content.
TIP! After you complete an article and added it, have it sent to directories. This helps because the main article will show up in the indexes of the search engines, and the other articles will give you back-end traffic.
Do your best to avoid auto writing services for your content. The volume will be there, but the quality will probably not be. A lot of them are not even written in proper English. Try your best to write your content yourself. After a while, you'll be able to crank out articles quickly with little thought.
TIP! Your articles, unless deleted by a website, are always available online and continually help to drive you traffic. Articles can help you promote your other articles to gain even more followers.
Hold your ideal reader in mind when you write and try to phrase your article as though you were speaking with a trusted friend. This allows a lighter, friendlier tone instead of unnecessary formality. Keep your articles relaxed by employing a chatty tone.
TIP! You should make an effort to read other articles in various markets where you will be submitting your own work. By knowing your niche, understanding your potential customers and finding new information that hasn't already been offered by everyone else, you will be able to market much more effectively.
The most important aspect of article promotion is having original content. Newer articles take priority over reprinted articles in Google. There are a number of different services that offer fresh content. Shop around to find the best rates while keeping quality high.
TIP! The better the article, the more readers it will have. Articles that offer advice or informational diagrams are always popular.
If you use the info that other people have had to put time and effort into, you may be able to have a plan for yourself. Article advertising is easy if you adhere to the above guidelines.

MINOT, N.D. -- Minot police say after a nine-week manhunt. a man wanted in connection with the death of a Minot man was taken into custody in Philadelphia early Thursday.
Anthony Leon Campbell, 37, was arrested and charged with AA felony murder for allegedly killing Shannon Royal Brunelle, 25, who police found dead Sept. 16 in a garage at a complex in the 1600 block of 12th Street N.W. in Minot.
Police believe the two men were acquaintances.
Sgt. Steve Goodman said after Brunelle was killed, Campbell fled to Philadelphia where he was arrested "without incident."
With assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service District of North Dakota and the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, Campbell's movements were tracked across the country.
"We tracked him through his Internet usage," Goodman said.
He said family members and friends of Campbell's also provided information to law enforcement.
Campbell also has an outstanding warrant in Ward County for burglary, a class B felony,
unrelated to the murder charge.
Campbell is being held in Philadelphia, pending extradition back to Minot.
