Reflections on Memorial Day 2014
Gratefully remembering those who made today possible
Memorial Day is a day to honor those who died in military service to our country. It is extended today to all who serve. And this month, just before Memorial Day, the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum was dedicated in New York City. Somewhat like the Pearl Harbor Memorial over the sunken Arizona, this 9/11 Memorial at the site of the Twin Towers commemorates a premeditated attack upon the United States, which launched us into wars on the other side of the world. In this latter case, more than 3,000 victims were civilians and first responders, not military personnel. This beautifully designed monument commemorates the lives of fellow citizens and the character of the nation in response to that terrible terrorist event.
This Memorial Day is the tenth anniversary of the dedication of the National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. Symbolizing the spirit, sacrifice and commitment of our nation's people, it commemorates the defining event of the 20th century. It honors the 16 million who served in the U.S. armed forces, the more than 400 thousand who died, and all who supported the war effort from home. Fittingly, it is the only 20th century event commemorated on the National Mall's central axis.
The coincidental celebration this year around these two memorials causes us to pause and reflect upon the respective wars, sacrifices and effects more than half a century apart.
The National WWII Memorial
I had not visited Washington for more than a decade. I always enjoy visiting all the principal national monuments and museums in the capitol. But I was awed by the quiet dignity and majestic grandeur of this beautiful and inspiring memorial.
Walking the mall on our way to the Lincoln Memorial, we passed the Washington Memorial obelisk. Still closed for earthquake repairs, it has only just opened again in time for Memorial Day.
Typically we walked down the mall, turning off at the long reflecting pool, then onward to the farther memorial. This time, however, we came upon the new monument at the foot of the Lincoln reflecting pool. From the Washington monument we look down on the WWII memorial, below and in front of the pool; so that these three monuments are links of three centuries in our history.
From the lawn across the street, one takes in the scope of this monument, designed by Friedrich St. Florian, with the long rectangular reflecting pool above and behind it, extending to the Lincoln Memorial — so, this memorial complements the scope of that one.
At the center before the WWII monument is this inscription: "Here in the presence of Washington and Lincoln, one the eighteenth century father and the other the nineteenth century preserver of our nation, we honor those twentieth century Americans who took up the struggle during the Second World War and made the sacrifices to perpetuate the gift our forefathers entrusted to us: A nation conceived in liberty and justice."
This memorial ramps down six feet, leading from the street level down to a large oval pool at both foci of which are a tall jet of water. Smaller jets encircle these emphasizing the pool's shape which fills the center of the monumental oval. A large semi-circle surrounds this oval from the street to the back wall, centering one's attention to that back wall where 4,048 gold stars cluster in a field across the dark wall, each marking 100 dead or MIA in this conflict. The plaque in front of Freedom Wall states that "the 405,399 American dead and missing from World War II are second only to the loss of more than 620,000 Americans during our Civil War."
At either side leading to the path of pillars and arches, twin U.S. flags fly from their flagpoles, at the base of which it states that we fought against worldwide tyranny, not to conquer territory but to preserve liberty. On either side of this broad entrance in a semicircle around the long ends of the oval pool is a wall surmounted by 56 17-foot tall wreathed pillars (one for each of the states and territories that fought) and at the center of each semicircle of pillars is a 43-foot tall rectangular triumphal arched pavilion, one for the Atlantic theater, the other for the Pacific. Inside, beneath the hollow skylight above, the suspended baldacchino consists of a bronze eagle at each of the four cornices bearing a bronze wreath of victory. The hollow skylight above, through the wreath, highlights a victory seal on the floor below.
On the walls flanking this elipse are etched memorable insights by our leaders and some GI graffiti: "Kilroy was here!" Other than the pillars and arches, two-thirds of this stunning and stately monument is landscaping and water, establishing the tranquility by which to appreciate the effort and the sacrifice.
Two dozen bas-relief bronze panels, created by sculptor Ray Kaskey are set into the ceremonial entrance walls. They depict the total mobilization of America's agricultural, industrial, military and civilian commitment and might dedicated to this war. The Atlantic Front (south balustrade) depicts Lend Lease; Bond Drives; Women in the Military; Rosie the Riveter in factories as well as specific battles and services. The Pacific Front to the north moves from Pearl Harbor, Enlistment, and Embarkation, through battles to Liberation, and V-Day.
This Memorial Day you could do more than grill hotdogs and guzzle beer. If you take a moment to go online to the National WWII Memorial or to Google images of it (or to the 9/11 Memorial), I think that you too will be moved enough to reflect upon that unity in this time of national political disunity. You might even want to read some of the speeches from the WWII Memorial's dedication, each has moments of great eloquence.
This World War II Memorial, standing between the Washington and Lincoln monuments may summon Lincoln's conclusion at Gettysburg: "It is for us the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us … that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
This visit caused me to ponder. How interesting that memorials to the fallen in the Vietnam and Korean Wars were erected before this one to "the Greatest Generation," who never forgot but often did not speak of their horrors.
What struck me most that day standing amidst this line of three memorials was how they each marked one of the top three traditionally most revered American presidents: Washington, Lincoln and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Of these, Washington was "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." His two successors did not live to wage the peace. FDR has his own memorial. But those of his two predecessors each mark not merely the man but a revolutionary war in our history. Or rather, each war marked a revolution in our country, retaining the purpose and principles of the republic but separating us from our immediate past and committing us to continue to create a more perfect union in our future. In all three, our nation was fully committed, however divisive initially.
But most significantly, this WWII Memorial is not merely a remembrance of our war dead. It is rather a commitment to the legacy they and their generation bequeathed us. It has and may take us many more years, if ever, to reach our ideals and to incrementally perfect the union, but that is our task. After Pearl Harbor, many signed up to wage war abroad; others committed to support them here. Those who returned did not return to the same country.
Everyone hoped for and thought they could put those intervening years behind and get on with their lives. Instead they entered a new world forged by the unity and aims of the war as much as by the Depression that preceded it. All know that FDR's commitment to making America the Arsenal of Democracy, even before we were attacked and entered the war, broke the back of the most harrowing and risky financial period for average Americans throughout the nation. Overcoming cries for isolationism, this effort not merely provided full employment, long working hours and increased GDP, but also greater productivity and efficiency while binding the nation beyond subordinate issues.
Rosie the Riveter demonstrated that just as women had won the vote, they were equally capable in industry and business. With business and government needing ever more workers, because so many were off at war, this brought in seniors, students, immigrants and blacks — many of whom had been shunned before. Between the wars there had been an emphasis on management, now there was equally an emphasis on technology, precision, productivity and on research. With this full-time full employment came many restrictions: wages were controlled but so were prices; durable goods were scarce; meat, clothing and gasoline were all rationed for the war effort; and people lived together as typical housing dried up. So, Americans saved much more than at any time in the century, since no one knew the future. While the period saw some tolerance as more diverse people were thrown together, it also saw terrible discrimination against Americans of Japanese descent, who were forcibly herded into concentration camps. As in World War I, all foreign languages were discouraged, so as to be patriotic Americans.
After the war was won, returning veterans yearned for the idyllic traditional roles in the family. The migration to cities, now changed into a migration to the suburbs, even as cities grew. Women's vote in the secrecy of the ballot increasingly reflected issues championed by women. Now not merely in business and the professions but also in politics women could advocate for their aspirations.
Mass consumerism returned to satisfy all the pent-up desires; mass advertising and national brands whetted this appetite. Advertising's staple media of the past — newspapers, magazines, radio and the movies — became magnified with the advent first of mass-broadcast television (three major networks) and a quarter century later by subscription channels, and in the last quarter of the century by the computer and Internet. Mass sports, both commercial and collegiate, thrived because of colleges, the media and advertising.
All of these media divided the audience by interests but informed and unified them of national and international events as well as about the latest trends or goods, until today we have become part of a worldwide audience and purchasing public.
The GI Bill transformed rural Joes and urban Jims into professionals. The Space Race did for primary and secondary education what the war did for college. Now everyone was expected to go to college, as a rite of passage. The war had made many in the military aware of new lands, peoples and languages. It had fueled hate against an enemy but appreciation for those countries where they were lauded at liberating heroes. It also made comrades in arms diverse by race, religion or region, buddies afterwards.
As the hot war had united allies against the common foe, the Cold War divided the world into allied rival camps. Even as the founding of the UN in San Francisco heralded a more stable and enduring peace, the Korean and Vietnam wars mocked the very meaning of nations united to prevent war.
Increasing college attendance caused the growth of universities, state colleges, community colleges and private colleges, where students were learning more about the world, about diversity and about tolerance for different cultures and perspectives. JFK's Peace Corps extended this education, doing much the same for a new generation of Americans as the war had done for many hometown kids — introducing them, their family and friends to nations around the world — even at the very time we were waging a war abroad. The turmoil at the colleges created a new generation that tackled Civil Rights, a War on Poverty, and economic and social justice, with gains both legislatively and judicially, as well as martyrs to these causes. This was not a world that many World War II veterans and their families foresaw nor understood. From the American Indian Movement, to the Farm Workers, and the Women's Movement; from federal laws on equal pay, education, opportunities and equal funding in collegiate sports; to state laws on ERA, marriage and abortion, not to mention environmentalism, this was not pre-war America.
Reaganism hearkened back to the WWII generation's values, but this oldest president and his WWII vice president were succeeded by one of the youngest, just as JFK had succeeded Ike. Today, surprise-attacked at the Twin Towers as we had been at Pearl Harbor, we waged two wars, concluding one and still withdrawing from another. No one in 1941 nor 1945 could have predicted the changes wrought by that war, but all of these seeds were surely planted then. Truman's integrating the armed forces, kindled the hope that led to Civil Rights. And the causes and consequences of our Great Recession harmonize with those of the Great Depression.
We have not completed perfecting our union — and the political intransigence makes one wonder when we'll harmonize — but a view to these national monuments makes one stop and remember (after all, that's their purpose). Reflecting upon the history of even these three epochs, gives us cause for hope and for thanks to all these generations who went before. They were as limited in their foresight as we are today as together we strive to perfect this union hoping for peace with liberty and justice for all.
I will never look at those three monuments the same again. They are not merely monuments to leaders and war dead; they commemorate our entire nation's commitment; they are milestones toward our national goals.

Pat O'Connor's legendary 1984 film Cal, based on the novel by Bernard MacLaverty, kept the doors open at QFT when times were hard.
This Troubles-set love story between a Catholic widow of a Protestant policeman and a young man on the fringes of the IRA was a hit. Helen Mirren and John Lynch give fantastic performances in the lead roles, with Mirren winning Best Actress at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. Without the success of Cal it is possible that QFT wouldn't be here today to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
This film, despite its significance in Northern Irish film history, has been neglected for some time. The 35mm print we are able to screen is far from pristine but is in fact the best possible version available. Well overdue a restoration, the preservation of Cal for future generations is vital and we hope that with renewed focus on the film in QFT50, reaching new audiences alongside those who are familiar with the film, we can shine a light on what is arguably the most important Northern Irish film of the last 50 years.

How can fetch data in Application Scope from Android native app?
I am working on Android app which fetching data from Kii. I wonder that is it possible to fetch data from certain bucket which is in Application Scope ? It means that I do not want to log in but fetch data from Application Scope directly.
According to this tutorial , it seems demo code will fetch data from User Scope not Applition Scope (I guess that). I tried "Hello Kii" demo code from Kii project but it require log in before fetching data (in User Scope, I guess).
I also searched in our community but I cannot find related topics (or maybe I miss something for searching).

Ahmedabad: The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has nabbed two persons allegedly working as spies for Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI, police said.
Both of them were held tonight from Kutch district, which shares border with the neighbouring country.
"ATS was keeping a close watch on the movement of two residents of Khavda village of Kutch for last one year on the suspicion that they are working as spies of Pakistan's ISI. Both of them were held by ATS today," a police official said on the condition of anonymity.
"We have learnt that ATS has recovered one Pakistani SIM card along with a mobile phone during the search of their house," he added.
The arrest comes amid rising tension between India and Pakistan.


Leggings are designed to cover the leg from ankle to above the knee. These are made of Aniline Dyed Leather. Only the best quality hides are reserved for this process, where the skin is tumbled in vats so the dye is completely absorbed. There is no other coloring agent or process, thus the finished leather tends to look and feel more "natural" - the unique markings and character of each skin are apparent. The leggings have fringe.


I don't think the motivation behind this piece is entirely difficult to imagine… If you haven't worked in an office then you can't imagine how lucky you are. If, however, you have worked in an office then I'm sure you can appreciate the sentiment behind this piece.

Dems lose patience with 'complete fraud' AOC, rally to Pelosi's side
July 12, 2019 Politician Direct article, fnc, Fox News, FoxNews.com, Politics 0
House Democrats and their aides are quickly losing patience with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her office's nonstop sparring with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other long-serving members, suggesting the speaker's dismissive comments toward her may represent the view of a growing section of the caucus.
"She is a complete fraud," one senior Democratic source told Fox News on Friday, succinctly summing up members' frustration.
The last straw, for some, was the lawmaker's claim that Pelosi was uniquely disrespectful to minority congresswomen. One senior lawmaker, who is black, scorched Ocasio-Cortez on Thursday for allegedly using the race card against the speaker, calling her comments "so inappropriate." Some lawmakers have even turned the tables, arguing that a group aligned with her is targeting black lawmakers for potential primary challenges in questioning those comments.
HOUSE DEM BLASTS 'JUVENILE' AOC
"Her peers do not take her seriously," the senior Democratic source said Friday, adding: "They think it is absurd to call the speaker racist. Offensive and absurd."
The source said Ocasio-Cortez, who won her seat after a stunning primary victory over longtime House Democratic Caucus Chairman Joe Crowley, has "no power" — despite her immense Twitter following and unique ability to at times command the news cycle.
"She is a nobody. She is a freshman member of Congress with no power. She is not worth the speaker's brainpower," the source said — accusing her of starting "needless distractions from serious issues," and skipping meetings and conference calls in favor of media interviews, tweets and "glamour."
AOC-ALIGNED GROUP TARGETS INCUMBENT DEMS WHO CROSSED INFLUENTIAL FRESHMEN
"In this building, it is about how many others you can bring along to your side. She maybe has two members—sometimes four," the source added.
The comments come as prominent members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) side with Pelosi.
"It was such a weak argument to say she was being picked on and that four women of color were being picked on by the speaker," Rep. William Lacy Clay, D-Mo., a member of the CBC, said Thursday night. "It shows their lack of sensitivity to racism. To fall back on that [trope] is a weak argument. It has no place in a civil discussion."
Clay added that "it's going to take a process of maturing for those freshman members. They will have to learn to be effective legislators."
The feud between Ocasio-Cortez and Pelosi escalated after Congress recently passed a border funding bill that Ocasio-Cortez, and freshmen Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., all opposed.
In an interview last weekend, Pelosi told The New York Times that "all these people have their public whatever and their Twitter world, but they didn't have any following. They're four people, and that's how many votes they got."
PELOSI RESPONDS TO AOC SLAM, SAYS CAUCUS HAS HER BACK FOR CONDEMNING CHIEF OF STAFF'S 'OFFENSIVE' TWEET
Ocasio-Cortez then told The Washington Post this week that the "persistent singling out" by the speaker was "outright disrespectful" and affected "newly elected women of color."

Facebook Introduces Analytics For App Links: Making Deep Linking Easier Between Apps!


Holy Cow! Where did the last five weeks go? It's been almost two months since I submitted my BCG application. Since then my weekly trips to the Family History Center have almost entirely halted. Last week, I finally returned to look at my stash of microfilm. As part of my KDP, I am tracing a pioneer back to his state of origin. I ordered several rolls of land records and an authored narrative of a distant branch of the family. Unfortunately or fortunately for me—however you want to look at it—my ancestor's father had an uncommon common name. I must dig through many different records to determine which man was my pioneer's father.
My schedule opened enough to allow a trip to the California State library last week. The California History Room at the library contains a fantastic collection of microfilmed newspapers from around the state. Many of these newspapers are not available online. To my delight, the library now possesses multiple digital microfilm readers. The older, manual readers are being retired. While I have very few relatives who ventured west to California, I find the newspaper collection a valuable resource, and because of this collection, I generally venture to the library two or three times a year.
One requirement for the BCG portfolio is a client report. Over the years I have taken very few clients, primarily because of my day job—which rewards me with a very nice paycheck—but unfortunately leaves little time for finding and retaining clients. Luckily for me, I have plenty of friends and relatives who are willing to be volunteer clients. Because I want to improve my skills in the locality where I live, I plan on writing a series of reports for a relative whose family has deep California and Nevada roots. While I do a lot of my own research by proxy (contacting libraries/societies/archives directly, hiring other researchers, etc.), I want to make sure the work samples in my portfolio highlight my skills to the best advantage.
Sacramento has the advantage of the State Archives as well as the Sacramento History Room at its main library branch. Two weeks ago I attended Melinda Kashuba's lecture on Replacing Lost Courthouse Records. She discussed several California specific resources that will help me find some of those local records.

Korruption in der FIFA steht für einen Komplex von Korruptions- und Geldwäscheskandalen, die vom Weltfußballverband FIFA seit 1991 ausgehen. Die Vorwürfe gegen die Organisation beziehen sich unter anderem auf die Vergabe der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaften 2018 an Russland und 2022 an Katar sowie die Vergabe von Sponsoring- und Vermarktungsrechten durch einzelne Funktionäre der FIFA, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit der Weltmeisterschaft 2014 in Brasilien. Am 27. Mai 2015 wurde wegen des Korruptionsverdachts bezüglich der Weltmeisterschaftsvergaben die FIFA-Zentrale in Zürich durchsucht. Unabhängig davon wurden am selben Tag sieben FIFA-Funktionäre verhaftet.

Entwicklung
Von 1991 bis 2015 sollen etwa 150 Millionen US-Dollar Schmiergelder an die FIFA und ihre Funktionäre geflossen sein. Nachdem Sepp Blatter 1998 als Nachfolger von João Havelange zum FIFA-Präsidenten gewählt worden war, sah dieser sich ersten Bestechungsvorwürfen ausgesetzt. Nach den Vergaben der Weltmeisterschaften 2018 und 2022 erhärteten sich die Korruptionsvorwürfe gegen die FIFA im Jahr 2010. So sollen nach den Bekundungen eines Ausschussmitglieds der Sektion Südamerika im Vorfeld der Katar-Bewerbung Stimmen gekauft worden sein. Zwei der 24 Mitglieder des Exekutivkomitees, die Vertreter von Tahiti und von Nigeria, sollen demnach ihre Stimmen für die Vergabe zum Kauf angeboten haben. Seitens der FIFA wurden die Vorwürfe zwar zurückgewiesen, konnten jedoch nicht ausgeräumt werden. Am 1. Juni 2014 wurde der Korruptionsverdacht nochmals erhärtet, nachdem die Sunday Times gemeldet hatte, dass mehrere Millionen US-Dollar geflossen seien, um eine Abstimmung zugunsten der Austragung in Katar (2022) herbeizuführen. Die Zeitung wollte sogar im Besitz konkreter Beweismittel sein.

Anfang September 2014 legte FIFA-Chefermittler Michael J. Garcia der FIFA einen Bericht vor, der Unregelmäßigkeiten bezüglich der Vergabe der Weltmeisterschaften 2018 und 2022 zum Gegenstand hatte. Von einer Veröffentlichung wurde abgesehen. Der deutsche Richter Hans-Joachim Eckert wertete als Vorsitzender der rechtsprechenden Kammer der FIFA-Ethikkommission das Dokument aus; er attestiert "einen Mangel an Transparenz", der geeignet sei, einen "negativen Eindruck" zu vermitteln, unterstellt zugunsten der FIFA jedoch, dass die Wahl zur Vergabe der Weltmeisterschaften nicht beeinflusst worden sei.

Neues Ethikreglement 2018

Der FIFA-Rat verabschiedete am 10. Juni 2018 in Moskau ein neues Ethikreglement, das am 12. August 2018 in Kraft trat. Dieser neue Ethikkodex wurde dafür kritisiert, dass Korruption darin kein Strafbestand mehr sei und dass Bestechungen und Spielmanipulationen nur zeitlich beschränkt untersucht werden könnten. In der deutschen, englischen und spanischen Version des neuen Ethik-Codes wurde das Wort "Korruption" gestrichen. Zudem wurde der neue Paragraph 22.2 des FIFA-Ethikcodes eingeführt, der sämtlichen Spielern, Spielervermittlern und Fußball-Offiziellen verbietet, öffentlich verleumderische Aussagen über die FIFA und die dem FIFA-Ethikcode unterstellten Personen zu treffen. Bei einem Verstoß gegen die Vorschrift drohen eine Geldstrafe von umgerechnet mindestens 8.800 Euro und eine bis zu zweijährige Sperre von allen Fußballtätigkeiten. Die FIFA wies die Vorwürfe zurück und erklärte unter anderem, die Umbenennung des bisherigen Titels des Artikels "Bestechung und Korruption" in "Bestechung" sei aus Gründen der sprachlichen Klarheit erfolgt und habe keine wesentliche Auswirkung auf die eigentlichen Vergehen.

Strafanzeige der FIFA gegen Unbekannt
Am 18. November 2014 hatte die FIFA im Rahmen der Ergebnisse des Garcia-Berichts Strafanzeige gegen Unbekannt erstattet, in deren Folge am 10. März 2015 ein Strafverfahren eingeleitet wurde. Daraufhin wurden im Auftrag der Schweizer Bundesanwaltschaft am Morgen des 27. Mai 2015 im FIFA-Hauptquartier auf IT-Systemen abgelegte Unterlagen im Zusammenhang mit den Vergaben der beiden kommenden Fußball-Weltmeisterschaften an Russland und Katar sichergestellt.

Die Bundesanwaltschaft geht dem Verdacht nach, dass Unregelmäßigkeiten bei der Vergabe von Schweizer Boden ausgegangen sind. Sie ermittelt wegen des Verdachts ungetreuer Geschäftsbesorgung ( Ziff. 1 Abs. 3 StGB) sowie wegen Geldwäscherei ( StGB) – auf Grund bestehender Gesetzeslage kann nicht wegen Privatkorruption ermittelt werden, ein solcher Strafbestand ist erst in Vernehmlassung. Im Anschluss wurden durch die Bundeskriminalpolizei (BKP) und durch die BA zehn Personen einvernommen. Dabei handelt es sich um Mitglieder des Exekutivkomitees 2010, die an den Wahlen der Weltmeisterschaften 2018 und 2022 teilgenommen haben. Dieser Fall hat mit den gleichentags erfolgten Verhaftungen nur soviel gemeinsam, dass diese koordiniert erfolgten, um eine Kollusion zu vermeiden.

Bestechungsgelder für Medien-, Vermarktungs- und Sponsoringrechte in Amerika

Am 27. Mai 2015 wurden am Morgen zunächst sechs Funktionäre der FIFA im Auftrag des Bundesamts für Justiz (BJ) aufgrund eines US-Verhaftungsersuchens in Auslieferungshaft genommen, am Vormittag wurde eine weitere Person festgenommen. Die Verhaftungen erfolgten durch die Zürcher Kantonspolizei, die Betroffenen wurden im Zürcher Hotel Baur au Lac gestellt. Das Gesuch datiert gemäß der Sprecherin des Bundesamts auf den 21. Mai 2015, es wurde durch das Office for International Affairs des Justizministeriums der Vereinigten Staaten ausgestellt.

Den Personen wird gemäß dem BJ vorgeworfen, Bestechungsgelder durch Vertreter von Sportmedien und von Sportvermarktungsunternehmen in einem Volumen von insgesamt über 150 Millionen US-Dollar angenommen zu haben. Als Gegenleistungen sollen diese Medien-, Vermarktungs- und Sponsoringrechte bei Fußballturnieren in den USA und Lateinamerika erhalten haben. Es geht dabei um Vorfälle, die bis ins Jahr 1991 zurückreichen.

Die wesentlichen Fakten und Namen in dieser Causa sind seit der Publikation des 113-seitigen Untersuchungsberichts bekannt, den die Integritätskommission der CONCACAF im April 2013 publiziert hatte. Daher seien die Verhaftungen, so die Neue Zürcher Zeitung, nicht überraschend. Vielmehr sei das lange Zögern der US-Justizbehörden «erstaunlich». Pikant sei zudem gewesen, dass Jeffrey Webb, der in den Bestechungsfällen involviert war, besagte Untersuchung initiierte.

Das BJ gab am gleichen Nachmittag die Namen der inhaftierten Personen bekannt:

Nach der Anhörung am Nachmittag des gleichen Tages wurde bekannt, dass sich sechs der sieben inhaftierten Personen der Auslieferung widersetzen werden. Gemäß Auslieferungsvertrag zwischen der Schweiz und den Vereinigten Staaten wird das BJ für diese Personen die USA auffordern, innerhalb von 40 Tagen ein formelles Auslieferungsersuchen zu stellen, damit das Verfahren fortgesetzt werden kann. Die siebte Person signalisierte Bereitschaft für eine vereinfachte Auslieferung, sie kann umgehend den US-Behörden übergeben werden. Mit Stand März 2016 war Figueredo nach Uruguay ausgeliefert, Sánchez, Marin und Webb in die USA.

Am Abend teilte die Ethikkommission der FIFA gestützt auf Art. 83 Abs. 1 des FIFA-Ethikreglements mit, dass sie auf Grund der neusten Erkenntnisse elf Personen für Fußballaktivitäten gesperrt hat. Dabei handelt es sich neben den oben genannten in Zürich inhaftierten Personen um Jack Warner, Nicolás Leoz, Chuck Blazer und Daryll Warner.

Im Zusammenhang mit den US-amerikanischen Ermittlungen veröffentlichte Interpol am 3. Juni ein internationales Festnahmeersuchen, eine sogenannte Red Notice, für sechs weitere Personen. Es handelt sich dabei um die ehemaligen FIFA-Funktionäre Jack Warner und Nicolás Leoz sowie vier Geschäftsleute aus dem Sportmarketingbereich: Alejandro Burzaco sowie Hugo und Mariano Jinkis, alle drei aus Argentinien, außerdem José Margulies aus Brasilien.

Am 3. Dezember 2015 wurden mit Alfredo Hawit, erst kurz zuvor gewählter Präsident von CONCACAF und Juan Ángel Napout, Präsident von CONMEBOL zwei weitere hohe Funktionäre in Zürich festgenommen. Beide sind Vizepräsidenten des FIFA-Exekutivkomitees. Ihnen wird vorgeworfen, sich im Rahmen der Vergabe von Übertragungs- und Marketingrechten für südamerikanische Kontinentalmeisterschaft Copa América bereichert zu haben.

Ermittlungsverfahren gegen Sepp Blatter

Die Schweizer Bundesanwaltschaft eröffnete am 24. September 2015 ein Ermittlungsverfahren gegen den FIFA-Präsidenten Sepp Blatter. Im Zentrum der Ermittlungen stehen einerseits der Verkauf von Fernsehrechten in die Karibik, der unter Marktwert an Jack Warner erfolgt sein soll. Dieser Vorgang war bereits vom Schweizer Fernsehen aufgedeckt worden. Außerdem wird Blatter eine Zahlung von zwei Millionen Schweizer Franken an Michel Platini vorgeworfen, die im Februar 2011 für Dienste erfolgt sein soll, die dieser zwischen Januar 1999 und Juni 2002 geleistet habe. Die Bundesanwaltschaft ermittelt deswegen nun wegen des "Verdachts der ungetreuen Geschäftsbesorgung ( StGB) und – eventualiter – wegen Veruntreuung ( StGB)". Am 25. September fand deswegen eine Hausdurchsuchung des Büros Blatters in der FIFA-Zentrale sowie eine Sicherstellung von Material statt. Ebenfalls erfolgte eine Befragung von Blatter und Platini. Eine Pressekonferenz, auf der Blatter zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen nach einer zweitägigen Sitzung des Exekutivkomitees der FIFA am 25. September erscheinen sollte, wurde ohne Angabe von Gründen kurzfristig abgesagt. Währenddessen erklärte Blatters US-amerikanischer Anwalt Richard Cullen, dass der Vertrag zu den Fernsehrechten für die Karibik ordnungsgemäß vorbereitet und ausgehandelt worden sei. Am 28. September 2015 erklärte Blatter laut seinem Anwalt vor Mitarbeitern der FIFA, dass er trotz des Ermittlungsverfahrens FIFA-Präsident bleibe und dass er nichts Illegales getan habe und mit den Behörden zusammenarbeite. Am gleichen Tag verteidigte Michel Platini die umstrittenen Zahlungen an ihn als gerechtfertigt. Die Ethikkommission der FIFA sperrte Blatter am 8. Oktober 2015 zusammen mit Michel Platini für 90 Tage von allen fußballbezogenen Tätigkeiten als Folge des gegen Blatter laufenden Strafverfahrens. Blatters Anwalt Richard Cullen erklärte, dass er gegen diese Entscheidung Berufung eingelegt habe und dass nun die Berufungskommission der FIFA unter Larry Mussenden darüber entscheiden muss. Von Michel Platini wurde ebenfalls eine Berufung angekündigt. Am 21. Dezember 2015 sperrte die Ethikkommission sowohl Blatter als auch Platini wegen Amtsmissbrauchs für eine Dauer von acht Jahren und verhängte außerdem jeweils eine Geldstrafe. Beide kündigten an, das Urteil anzufechten.

Die britische Tageszeitung The Guardian deckte auf, dass es keinen schriftlichen Vertrag zwischen Blatter und Platini gab, sondern nur ein sogenanntes Gentlemen's Agreement. Platini hatte einen Vertrag mit der FIFA als Blatters Berater von 1998 bis 2002, wofür er ein Gehalt von 1,05 Millionen Schweizer Franken bekam. Die weitere Zahlung soll dann eine Zusatzvereinbarung zwischen Blatter und Platini gewesen sein, die als Zahlung von 500.000 Schweizer Franken pro Jahr für den betreffenden Zeitraum von vier Jahren anzusehen war. Blatter bestätigte dieses "Gentleman's agreement" in einem Interview mit dem Radio Rottu Oberwallis.

Am 2. Juni 2016 ließ die Ermittlungsbehörde erneut die FIFA-Zentrale durchsuchen. Am 3. Juni teilten zwei Vertreter der von der FIFA seit Juni 2015 zur Vertretung ihrer Interessen beauftragten Anwaltskanzlei Quinn Emanuel mit, dass Blatter, der frühere Generalsekretär Valcke sowie der ehemalige Finanzchef und Interims-Generalsekretär Kattner in den vergangenen fünf Jahren mindestens 79 Millionen Schweizer Franken auf fragwürdiger Grundlage erhalten hatten. Mitglieder der Führungsspitze des Verbandes hätten sich über Jahre hinweg gegenseitig lukrative Boni in Millionenhöhe genehmigt. An diesem Netzwerk beteiligt waren insbesondere auch die Funktionäre Julio Grondona aus Argentinien und Issa Hayatou aus Kamerun. Blatters Anwalt betonte dagegen, dass die Zahlungen "sauber, fair und in Einklang mit jenen von Präsidenten großer Sportligen weltweit waren." Auffallend war, dass die Anwälte den FIFA-Rechtsdirektor Marco Villiger, der als viertmächtigster Mann galt, ausdrücklich aus der Schusslinie nahmen.

Am 2. November 2021 wurde bekannt, dass von der Bundesanwaltschaft Anklage gegen Blatter und Platini erhoben wurde. Der Prozess vor dem Bundesstrafgericht in Bellinzona begann am 8. Juni 2022. Angesetzt wurden elf Verhandlungstage, das Urteil soll am 8. Juli verkündet werden.

Vorwurf der Gewinnbeteiligung bei Ticket-Verträgen

Am 17. September 2015 gab die FIFA bekannt, ihren Generalsekretär Jérôme Valcke bis auf weiteres suspendiert zu haben. Als Grund genannt wurde eine Reihe von Vorwürfen gegen Valcke, die vonseiten des Fußballverbands geprüft werden müssten. Die Süddeutsche Zeitung berichtete, dass Valcke im Rahmen von Ticket-Verträgen bei Weltmeisterschaften von 2010 bis 2022 eine diskrete Gewinnbeteiligung an den Einnahmen durch verkaufte Tickets zugesichert worden sein soll. Valcke wurde von der Ethikkommission der FIFA am 8. Oktober für 90 Tage von allen fußballbezogenen Tätigkeiten gesperrt. Diese Sperre wurde am 6. Januar 2016 bei der Eröffnung eines formellen Verfahrens der Ethikkommission der FIFA gegen Valcke um 45 Tage verlängert. Valcke wurde am 13. Januar 2016 auf Beschluss der Dringlichkeitskommission der FIFA von seiner Posten als Generalsekretär entlassen.

Vorwürfe gegen Chung Mong-joon

Der südkoreanische Fußballfunktionär Chung Mong-joon soll seit November 2014 unter der Beobachtung der Ethik-Kommission der FIFA gestanden haben, als ein Brief aus dem Jahr 2010 von ihm bekannt wurde, in dem er eine Zahlung von 777 Millionen US-Dollar an einen Global Football Fund ankündigt, wenn Südkorea die Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2022 erhalte. Dies könnte als Einflussnahme auf die Mitglieder des Exekutivkomitees der FIFA gewertet werden, wurde von dem Vorsitzenden der Ethikkommission Hans-Joachim Eckert geurteilt. Offiziell eröffnet wurde das Verfahren gegen Chung im Januar 2015. Chung behauptete seinerseits, dass die Ethikkommission erst durch seine Kandidaturankündigung für das Amt des FIFA-Präsidenten im August 2015 auf ihn aufmerksam wurde und bewertete den Vorgang als Versuch einer Verhinderung seiner Kandidatur. Am 8. Oktober 2015 sperrte die FIFA-Ethikkommission Chung wegen Verstoßes gegen Artikel vier des FIFA-Ethikkodex für sechs Jahre von allen fußballbezogenen Tätigkeiten und erlegte ihm eine Geldbuße von 100.000 Schweizer Franken auf.

Weitere Korruptionsskandale
Neben den von den Medien ab 2015 groß beleuchteten Skandalen gab es in den Jahren davor zwei weitere Korruptionsfälle, die FIFA-Funktionäre betrafen: Mohamed bin Hammam wurde im Dezember 2012 von der FIFA lebenslang gesperrt, da er versucht haben soll, für die Wahl zum FIFA-Präsidenten Stimmen zu kaufen. Der von 1974 bis 1998 amtierende FIFA-Präsident João Havelange und sein Schwiegersohn Ricardo Teixeira zählten laut Schweizer Gerichtsakten zu den Hauptbegünstigten des Schmiergeldsystems rund um die Marketingfirma ISL, das Verfahren wurde gegen Zahlung von 5 Millionen Franken eingestellt.

Reaktionen

FIFA
Die FIFA hielt nach den Festnahmen und der Durchsuchung eine Pressekonferenz ab, in der Walter de Gregorio, damals FIFA-Direktor für Kommunikation und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit, die Vergabe der Weltmeisterschaften 2018 und 2022 an Russland und Katar nochmals bestätigte. Die Festnahmen kommentierte die FIFA in einer Medienmitteilung nicht weiter, da das Angelegenheit der CONCACAF sowie der CONMEBOL sei. Bezüglich der Korruptionsvorwürfe sicherte die FIFA, die sich als Geschädigte betrachtete und entsprechend Strafanzeige stellte, den Schweizer Behörden eine vollumfängliche Kooperation zu. In einem persönlichen Statement begrüßte Präsident Sepp Blatter "die Untersuchungen der U.S.-amerikanischen und der schweizerischen Behörden" und forderte, dass "alle daran beteiligten Personen" aus dem Fußball entfernt werden müssten. Er kündigte ferner an, dass involvierte Personen "provisorisch" von allen Fußballtätigkeiten ausgeschlossen würden.

Blatter wurde am Abend des 29. Mai 2015 als Präsident der FIFA wiedergewählt, gab aber nur vier Tage später seinen Rücktritt bekannt.

Jack Warner wurde mit Wirkung vom 25. September 2015 von der FIFA auf der Grundlage einer Untersuchung der Ethikkommission zur Vergabe der Weltmeisterschaften 2018 und 2022 lebenslang gesperrt. Er darf demnach keine Tätigkeit im Zusammenhang mit Fußball ausüben. Die Ethikkommission war der Ansicht, dass Warner "ein Drahtzieher von Systemen, die die Gewährung, Annahme und den Empfang verdeckter und illegaler Zahlungen beinhalteten, sowie anderer Systeme zur Bereicherung" war. Die Sperre wurde auf der Grundlage der Art. 13 (Allgemeine Verhaltensregeln), Art. 15 (Loyalität), Art. 18 (Anzeige- sowie Mitwirkungs- und Rechenschaftspflicht), Art. 19 (Interessenkonflikte), Art. 20 (Annahme und Gewährung von Geschenken und sonstigen Vorteilen) und Art. 41 (Mitwirkungspflichten der Parteien) des FIFA-Ethikreglements verhängt.

Fußballverbände
Das Exekutivkomitee der UEFA forderte die Verschiebung der am Freitag, dem 29. Mai 2015 angesetzten Präsidentenwahl, solle diese nicht in einer Farce enden. Das Statement der UEFA wurde unter dem Titel UEFA zeigt dieser FIFA die Rote Karte publiziert. Der Präsident der Deutschen Fußball Liga, Reinhard Rauball, fordert ebenfalls eine Verschiebung. UEFA-Präsident Michel Platini forderte Blatter gar zum Rücktritt auf. Der FIFA-Präsident ignorierte diese Forderung, worauf die UEFA über einen Boykott der Wahlen nachdachte. Ein Boykott wurde als Gegenmaßnahme jedoch am selben Tag wieder verworfen. Stattdessen wurde angekündigt, für Blatters Gegenkandidaten, Ali bin al-Hussein, zu stimmen.

In der Schweiz
Der als FIFA-Kritiker bekannte Nationalrat Roland Rino Büchel (SVP) geht davon aus, dass aufgrund der jüngsten Vorfälle eine Abschaffung der Steuerprivilegien im Parlament mehrheitsfähig sein könnte. Cédric Wermuth (SP) bedauert, dass erst US-Interventionen nötig sind, damit im Kampf gegen Korruption etwas passiere. Für beide steht die Reputation der Schweiz auf dem Spiel. Positiv hervorzuheben sei gemäß dem Strafrechts- und Antikorruptionsexperten Mark Pieth, dass die Justiz Farbe bekennt.

Sonstige
Die Nichtregierungsorganisation Avaaz sammelte bis zum Zeitpunkt der Wahl über 500.000 Unterschriften über eine Online-Petition an die Mitglieder des FIFA-Kongresses und des FIFA-Exekutivkomitees, in der dazu aufgefordert wurde, Sepp Blatter nicht zu wählen.

Mitte Juni 2015 hob Paraguay die bis dahin bestehende Immunität für leitende Funktionäre des im Lande ansässigen südamerikanischen Kontinentalverbandes CONMEBOL auf. Dessen ehemaliger Präsident Nicolás Leoz stand zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits unter Hausarrest. Zur gleichen Zeit setzte der Vatikan eine Spendenvereinbarung aus, wonach ein unter seiner Schirmherrschaft gegründetes Bildungsprogramm 10.000 US-Dollar erhalten solle für jedes Tor, das bei der am 11. Juni 2015 beginnenden südamerikanischen Kontinentalmeisterschaft geschossen werde.

KARACHI: Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda on Saturday said the government would resolve all the issues facing students of madrassahs, ARY News reported.
"The government will also try to resolve visa issues of foreign students of madrassahs," he said this following a meeting with Mufti Taqi Usmani of Darul Uloom Karachi.
On this occasion, Faisal Vawda condemned the attack on Mufti Taqi Usmani a day earlier and, on behalf of Prime Minister Imran Khan, inquired about his health. He expressed sorrow over killing of the security guard and injuring of others in the tragic incident.
The federal minister assured the revered religious scholar of provision of complete cooperation and security.
"Mufti Taqi Usmani has rendered great sacrifices for Islam and Pakistan," he said. He said people targeted madrassahs for political reasons.
Earlier, he had directed the Karachi police chief for full security to Mufti Taqi Usmani.
Funeral prayer of martyred police constable Farooq was offered at Darul Uloom Karachi after Asar prayer.
On March 22, Minister of State for Interior Shehryar Afridi and Sindh Local Government Minister Saeed Ghani had vowed swift action against the culprits who assaulted Mufti Taqi Usmani.

Jayna Hefford Gets the Hockey Hall Call
by Russ_Cohen - June 28, 2018 July 11, 2018 0
Jayna Hefford retired from hockey in 2015. She may be one of the best hockey players many have never heard of. The Hockey Hall of Fame is getting it right; Hefford is a legend.
From 2002-2014 she helped Team Canada win four-consecutive Olympic gold medals in women's hockey. She won gold in seven world championships. She was a fierce competitor and former USA hockey standout, Karen Thatcher, talked about what it was like to play against her.
"Jayna was one of those players you had to always be aware of on the ice because her breakaway speed and goal-scoring ability made her a constant threat. For over a decade she was one of the hardest workers in the game and I think her natural speed pushed the women's game forward."
The Trenton, Ontario native set youth hockey records in Kingston that have never been broken by a male or a female.
When Hefford got that famous call. Here was her reaction.
"I'm certainly proud and honored to be inducted alongside these great men (Martin St. Louis, Martin Brodeur, Willie O'Ree, Alexander Yakushev, and Gary Bettman). It's quite a class to be a part of," she stated. "When I received the call today it was more emotional than I expected. I think even more emotional than some of the medals I've won in the course of my career.
"Simply because this goes towards so many people. Family and friends and coaches, teammates all along the way. It's something that's so special. I'm really excited to share it with all those people that helped get me here. I'm very grateful and excited to be a part of this induction."
Hefford starred in the CWHL. She was a huge star in the league. She was the first player to record 100 points. Until 2017 she had 234 career points and Caroline Ouellette broke that record. She had the record for goals with 130 before that was broken. She won the Angela James Bowl. In 2016, the CWHL introduced the Jayne Hefford Trophy to the most outstanding player in the regular season. That's a high honor. In 2017, she was voted to the CWHL's All-Time Team from the league's first decade.
She began playing hockey at the age of six. She's raised a lot of money for charity. She's been a great ambassador for the sport. At some point, it would be great if the NHL had a women's hockey ambassador. There are a lot of great names to choose from. Hefford would certainly be in the conversation.

Rapidly becoming one of the most sought after ingredients of the natural health world, hyaluronic acid (HA) is essential to maintaining the health of joints and cartilage. Although hyaluronic acid is found throughout all of the bodies tissues, it is primarily concentrated in the extracellular areas of the skin and in the synovial fluid. Synovial fluid moisturizes and lubricates the cartilage found in our joints and lack of this substance may lead to joint stiffness and pain. As we age our bodies lose the ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of hyaluronic acid and supplementing often becomes the only method of insuring an adequate supply to allow smooth, pain-free movement of our joints.
Hyaluronic acid has been shown to support wound healing. In a study entitled "The properties of hyaluronan and its role in wound healing" published in 2001, HA is discussed as having wound healing properties. It seems to work through its water retaining properties. HA specifically is a key nutrient in joint health. In a review by Moskowitz from Case Western Reserve University entitled "Hyaluronic acid supplementation" and published in 2000, he states that "Hyaluronan preparations have been shown to decrease pain and increase function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee." HA seems to work through several mechanisms of action including restoration of more normal synovial fluid with improved viscoelasticity, effects on cartilage biosynthesis and degradation, anti-inflammatory effects, and direct analgesic effects. This is the most important effect it has for athletes. It can actually be taken to support healthy joints (preventative maintenance), not only to support recovery from joint injury.
Like all Bio-Alternatives products, our Liquid Hyaluronic Acid (HA) contains none of the unnecessary fillers and additives found in most other brands. Liquid hyaluronic acid is absorbed by the body more readily than capsules or pills making it the best form for supplementing. We guarantee that you can find no higher quality hyaluronic acid at any price anywhere so why pay more? When it comes to price and quality Bio-Alternatives simply can't be beat!
As a Dietary Supplement take 2 droppers full twice daily.

Dear Gerald,
R was at the O.U.P. yesterday and had a talk with Alan Frank about making Morris' music better known as you have suggested.1
R has been asked to write something for the RCM Magazine2 but he feels he cannot do it and has told the Editor that you are the person to do this and he does very much hope that you will - he would add a postcript3 if needed.
1. Reginald Owen Morris had died the previous year. Alan Frank was Music Editor at the Oxford University Press.
2. Royal College of Music Magazine

Finzi apparently wrote something - see VWL2977.


It's difficult to say where Teesdale begins but there's a consensus that anywhere lying west of Darlington along the broad valley, often several miles wide, that drains into the Tees can legitimately claim the name.
Its difficult to say where Teesdale begins but theres a consensus that anywhere lying west of Darlington along the broad valley, often several miles wide, that drains into the Tees can legitimately claim the name.
That encompasses an enormously diverse region of beautiful, unspoilt countryside that boasts some fine homes of mansion proportions, beautiful detached traditional and modern houses and cottages, barn conversions, hamlet and village settings and the fabulous, attractive market town and undoubted capital of the dale, Barnard Castle.
Its an idyllic place to live, with uncluttered roads, lovely towns and villages boasting high quality bespoke shopping and amenities, easy access to the main routes of the A66 and A1 and within comfortable striking distance of Darlington, Durham, Newcastle and Middlesbrough.
Teesdale doesnt suffer the peaks and troughs of the property market as severely as our towns and cities so buying a property in the dale represents a sound investment. Barnard Castle offers a wonderful location in which to settle, with an excellent range of shops, schools, health and leisure facilities, as well as a good commercial sector which maintains and generates employment for local people.
Theres history in abundance, nowhere better illustrated than at Greta Bridge, just off the A66. It was an important strategic site for the Romans, who called it Conangium but one of its greatest claims to fame is that Charles Dickens visited Greta Bridge when he was researching The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, gaining inspiration from the real-life Dotheboys Hall (formerly the Bowes Academy) up the road in Bowes. These days Greta is the site of an altogether more welcoming establishment in the shape of the imposing Morritt hotel.
As well as the ruins of Barnard Castle, fortress-lovers should pay a visit to Raby, outside the village of Staindrop.. One of Englands largest medieval castles, the 14th century location hunters dream (it featured prominently in Elizabeth) remains the home of Lord Barnard, whose white-washed Raby Estate farms and properties are landmarks across this part of Teesdale.
Another stately gem in the area is Rokeby Hall and its surrounding park, near Greta Bridge. This palladian-style country seat on the banks of the Tees provided inspiration for Sir Walter Scotts epic Rokeby poem. The house was built in the 1730s and features some fine paintings and period furniture. It is open to the public on Monday and Tuesday afternoons through the summer.
A ruin worth a reccy is found at Egglestone Abbey (not to be confused with Eggleston, near Middleton in Teesdale). A small monastery of Premonstatensian white canons, it occupies a picturesque site above a bend in the Tees.
If youre still wondering Why move to Teesdale?, take a look at the area yourself. Were sure youll be charmed.

Ekologie obnovy se vyčlenila jako samostatný obor ekologie v 80. letech 20. století. Je to je vědecký výzkum podporující praktickou ekologickou obnovu , což je praxe, kterou se obnovují a znovuvytváří degradované, poškozené nebo zničené ekosystémy a stanoviště v životním prostředí, prostřednictvím aktivních lidských zásahů a opatření. Pojem "ekologie obnovy" se proto běžně používá pro akademické studium procesu, zatímco pojem "ekologická obnova" se běžně používá pro vlastní projekt nebo praktický proces obnovy.

Definice
Společnost pro ekologickou obnovu definuje "ekologickou obnovu" jako "úmyslnou aktivitu, která iniciuje nebo urychluje obnovu ekosystému s ohledem na jeho zdraví, integritu a udržitelnost".  Praktická ekologie obnovy zahrnuje širokou škálu projektů, jsou protierozní opatření, Znovuzalesňování, využití geneticky místních původních druhů, odstranění nepůvodních druhů a plevelů, ozelenění narušených oblastí, vyzdvižení vodních toků na denní světlo, reintrodukci původních druhů, stejně jako zlepšení biotopu a početnosti pro cílové druhy.

Ekologie obnovy je vědecký výzkum ekologické obnovy.

Located in Collegedale, Tennessee, Southern Adventist University consistently ranks in the top tier among Southern Regional Colleges in the United States. Its beautiful campus boasts a landscape well known for its design and impeccable maintenance. In 2010, the Landscape Services team selected Spray-Lock Outdoor Concrete Protection® Technology (SCP) as part of its maintenance system.
Spray-applied at time-of-placement, SCP Technology provides a fast, superior cure equal to or exceeding water ponding. On application to rough finish concrete, SCP Technology penetrates and reacts to form a gel within the concrete capillary and pore structure. It reduces water migration levels and can prevent dirt and other debris from collecting in the pores of the concrete. By protecting the concrete against de-icing chemicals and salt damage, the need for costly repairs is reduced, lowering maintenance costs.
With SCP, foot traffic is accessible to most flatwork in 1-hour. In really dense concrete or extremely high moisture conditions, it may take up to 3 hours.
In 2010, SCP was applied on steps and sidewalks outside the student housing at the University. Four years later, the difference in SCP-protected concrete and untreated concrete is visible.

Enduring Principles of Human Equity: One Company's Success Story
By Stan Sewitch and Dr. Hei-ock Kim
Nine years ago, WD-40 Company implemented a systematic approach to increase diversity in the company. Today, employees thrive in an environment where inclusive practices and fair opportunities to succeed are firmly entrenched in the company culture. Five key elements contribute to this environment: intention, continual self-evaluation, strategic principles, education and vigilance.
As a result, the company has made good progress in diversifying its population throughout the career progressions while openly acknowledging there is much more to be done.
1. INTENTION
WD-40 Company's guiding principle is to be a meritocracy. Its leaders have systemetized their commitment to eliminate behaviors that interfere with that principle. This core value is emphasized to every incoming employee, but it is the ongoing reinforcement that has transformed WD-40 Company's culture. Decisions about hiring, development, promotion and creating experiential opportunities for their people are focused entirely on a person's competencies, contributions, character and behaviors that are consistent with the company's six values. The company's values are embedded in job descriptions, the performance evaluation process and in all commercial decisions. Candidate evaluation methods focus only on behavioral measurement of the person's character, knowledge, skills and abilities. Non-job-related language, biases and even unthinking behaviors that demean, devalue, exclude, insult or ignore any person for any reason are identified and eliminated. Leaders also proactively model acceptance of the full spectrum of human character, behavior and identity. This includes everything from ethnicity to gender identity to self-expression within the context of a business.
2. SELF-EVALUATION
Honest self-evaluation is the cornerstone of effective change. WD-40 Company relies on both quantitative and anecdotal data to reveal inequities and create informed strategies. For example, senior leadership is gender imbalanced, even as it has improved. Due to low turnover and a relatively low hiring rate, it takes time for people to enter the company, develop, and advance into senior roles. Most of the leadership positions are filled internally, so the company has focused on ensuring the people who are invited into the "tribe" represent the future diversity that will be realized once those people have an opportunity to advance in responsibilities. This necessitates playing the long game, which includes conducting gender-based analyses of opportunity and compensation to ensure fair advancement and pay in all job levels. Continual assessment identifies the areas where progress is slower than desired, in order to focus on those challenges.
3. STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES
WD-40 Company's equality program is the product of careful curation. "We are not prescribing for the world. We know what works in our company, which is a global business with employees in 16 countries, delivering our products to 176 nations", said Stan Sewitch, VP of global HR. Focusing only on the issues specific to its own organization allows company leaders to design efficiently effective programming and use consistent metrics to measure progress. The strategic principles include being a meritocracy, the idea that everyone who can live the company's values and contribute to the organization's collective success belongs to the tribe, and that each individual is accountable for their own future. A key strategy is to constantly communicate that each person is capable of accomplishing what they are willing to work for, and that their future will be determined by their own actions.
Inclusion is actively promoted as a cultural imperative. Employees enjoy educational opportunities that openly challenge them to question and evolve their beliefs and behaviors. Offerings include a course entitled "The Psychology of Inclusion," based on neuroscience and evolutionary psychology research. In fact, the company houses an internal faculty for their Learning Laboratory, all with advanced degrees in organizational psychology and related fields. With over 20 individual Lab courses across a spectrum of leadership and professional development topics, the company offers access for development to any interested tribe member, no matter what their role in the company is. The company also follows a philosophy of servant leadership. Managers are called "coaches" because, in WD-40 Company's culture, a leader is first and foremost a teacher who is responsible for helping others succeed in their job and career. As Sewitch summarized, "We invest in people who demonstrate they will invest in themselves."
5. VIGILANCE
Decades of research clearly correlate gender equity with company prosperity, and WD-40 Company's hard work has paid off. Women hold senior leadership positions now, in roles that were historically male-dominated. The leader of the company's largest commercial region, the Americas, is a woman. Women are country managers in Canada and China. The company's board of directors will have four women by the end of the year, aiming for 50% of the board as retirements proceed. Every year, the company conducts a global gender pay equity study that analyzes whether there are statistically significant differences between men and women (there aren't), and also looks at absolute differences within job families and within salary grades to question whether or not those differences are explainable by job-related factors of competencies, contributions and behavioral demonstration of the company's values. This annual study is shared with senior leaders and the board of directors.
The company has identified where equal opportunity, and equal representation of the population according to local demographics, need to improve. The diversity challenges in the United States are much different from those in China, Italy or Mexico. One size does not fit everywhere, so customization of diversity objectives and methods is essential. WD-40 Company has also joined the Kim Center's Gender Equity Collaborative, where members pledge an ongoing commitment to care about gender equity, share resources to support the cause, and dare to make change.
Stan Sewitch is vice president of global organizational development, which is the CHRO role for WD-40 Company.
Dr. Hei-ock Kim is executive director of the Kim Center for Social Balance, which helps employers accelerate gender equity through data-driven action.

Police: 'Highly impaired' shoplifter was a wanted man
Lindsay C VanAsdalan
A local man's quick stop at a York-area convenience store turned into an extended stay in prison after police learned he was a wanted man.
Michael Robert Iberl, 24, of no fixed address, was arrested Friday, Oct. 13 after getting into a wrestling match with police over a soda he allegedly shoplifted. That's when they learned he had seven warrants for his arrest, police said.
West Manchester Township Police were dispatched to Sheetz at 1484 Carlisle Road about 10:45 p.m. for a report of a "highly impaired" person stumbling around the store, according to charging documents.
Police reviewing surveillance footage saw Iberl stealing a Dr. Pepper, portable cellphone battery and cellphone charging cable — items totaling about $40, documents state.
Officer Adam Jordan spotted Iberl coming out of a nearby McDonald's and confronted him, police said. But when Jordan tried to take the soda from him, Iberl pulled away and said, "Don't touch me," according to documents.
More:DA: York City cop justified in shooting fleeing thief
The two got into a "wrestling match" before Jordan shocked him in the back with a Taser and took him into custody, documents state.
Police said Iberl was extremely fidgety, sweaty and slurring his speech. He told them he hadn't slept or eaten in four days and was using molly, or ecstasy, every day "to keep himself going," according to charging documents.
An officer searched Iberl and found a hypodermic needle containing heroin, plus stolen identification cards, which Iberl admitted to using to check into hotel rooms so he wouldn't have to pay for the rooms, police allege.
When asked if the IDs were stolen, he said, "They definitely are, because that's all my friend does, is steal IDs and then gives them to people," documents state.
More:Jury convicts York man of providing fatal heroin dose
Iberl, who fell while being shocked, was treated for minor injuries at Memorial Hospital, police said.
At the time of his arrest, Iberl had seven outstanding warrants, according to charging documents.
Iberl remains in York County Prison on $20,000 bail, charged with resisting arrest, public drunkenness, drug possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, retail theft and receiving stolen property.
He has a scheduled preliminary hearing for the case Dec. 19 before Judge Keith L. Albright, according to court records.
