Midland, Texas' Educational Institutions Ensure a World-Class Aerospace Workforce
Higher education institutions in Midland support and serve the area's workforce that is robust with career engineers and technical minds.
2016 Auto/Aero Site Guide
Aerospace Industry Costs "Disrupted" by Economic Development Partnerships
Location Trends in the Aerospace Industry
According to the Aerospace Industries Association, the need for U.S. developed technical talent is particularly acute to ensure a world-class aerospace workforce ready to lead in a global economy. With this in mind, local higher education institutions in Midland, Texas — including The University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB) and Midland College — support and serve a workforce that is robust with career engineers and technical minds. The eminent aeronautical engineering track within the mechanical engineering major at UTPB will allow students to receive a concentrated education in the aerospace business. The Midland-Odessa area population of 327,000 contains more than 3,000 employees in the engineering fields, and these numbers will continue to grow with Midland's dedication to the commercial space industry.
Rendering of Midland International Air & Space Port
Midland International Air & Space Port is the first U.S. commercial spaceport to be co-located with a major commercial airport. This unique qualification provides companies with easy access to modern terminal facilities and allows for easy access to direct flights as well as a growing metropolitan area with many amenities.
The Midland Development Corporation can provide active business support and economic incentives for diversified companies that establish and retain jobs in the area. Texas' regulatory environment makes the available sites at the Midland Spaceport Business Park a prime setting for office space, R&D, and manufacturing. These collective benefits are attracting a growing cluster of innovative aerospace companies and a strong labor market of engineers and technical workers with transferrable skills.

A couple of weeks ago we went to York for the day and we really packed a lot of history into our time there. As well as visiting the JORVIK Viking Centre, one of the things we did was visit Barley Hall; a medieval townhouse tucked away in the back streets of York.
Barley Hall is a reconstructed medieval townhouse which was originally built around 1360 by the monks of Nostell Priory near Wakefield. Later it became a high status residence in York.
The first record of the Snawsell family living in Barley Hall in 1466. The Hall was the residence of someone of a very high status, and William Snawsell was a goldsmith and coiner, and later the Lord Mayor. In his household lived his wife and three children, who were attended to by around 12 servants. Barley Hall was later split into separate dwellings in the 16th or 17th century. Eventually it was bought by York Archaeological Trust in 1987 and restoration work began.
When Barley Hall was restored in 1987, York Archaeological Trust modeled the Hall on the household of the Snawsell family during the reign of Richard III. The Hall has high ceilings, exposed beams and replica furnishings throughout.
Today it is a popular museum for visitors and school children to learn more about domestic life in the medieval period. I really enjoy learning about domestic history, about how people lived and what they ate; so a visit to Barley Hall was right up my street.
The Great Hall is the biggest and most splendid room at Barley Hall. The family would sit at the raised table at the front of the Hall; with lower status people taking their place on the side tables.
My favourite areas were where the servants worked. The dairy and the larder were really interesting to me and I spent some time exploring them. Upstairs Barley Hall currently has a special exhibition – Magic and Mystery. There were lots of interactive activities for children to do, and lots to interest adults as well.
As well as interesting displays, there was a medieval dressing up box; a make your own wand activity and you're challenged to find the magical properties of plants, stones and wood; plus add the correct stamp in your own booklet which you can take home and keep. I especially liked the section devoted to the uses of herbs for healing and in magic. We certainly learned a few things about medieval magic!
Barley Hall is not huge, but there's enough to interest and entertain there. It's great for children as the history is really hands on too. The exhibitions change from time to time, so it's worth checking before you visit to see what's on. It really is tucked away in the back streets though, so you might need a map to help you find it.
If you've got a little time on your hands and you're in York, a visit to Barley Hall is an hour or two well spent!

Security Vaccaro is shifting its focus from the NFL to e-sports
11:15 ET
Davenport nougatESPN
Covered Eagles for USA Today
Covered the Ravens for the Baltimore Times
Played college football at Cheyney University
NFL Security Kenny Vaccaro has decided to shift his focus from playing professional football to pursuing his dream of launching an e-sports organization.
Despite receiving offers from several NFL teams, including the championship challenger, Vaccaro relinquishes the chance of a Super Bowl victory and instead competes for a Halo World Championship through his organization Gamers First.
"Technically, I'm still a free agent," Vaccaro told ESPN. "But this is where my mind has been for the last six months. I'm happy where I am and doing what I'm doing. I just really felt like this was something deep down that I wanted to do."
| Transcendere | pic.twitter.com/yp4BzZi4j9
– G1 Savage (@kennyvaccaro) December 1, 2021
Vaccaro, the overall No. 15 in the 2013 draft of the New Orleans Saints, spent eight seasons in the NFL with the Saints and Tennessee Titans. During his career, Vaccaro collected 610 tackles, 35 tackles for a loss, 11.5 sacks, 10 interceptions and 44 passes defended.
He said he will miss the daily interaction with teammates in the locker room and the bonds created on the football field.
His new teammates in the gaming world include other entrepreneurs and professional players Hunter Swensson and Cody Hendrix.
Vaccaro said he plans to manage G1 in the same way as the NFL franchise. Based in Austin, Texas, the company has already begun the process of building its list. G1 has signed eight players, four Destiny creators and four Halo professionals along with a coach. The full list will be published on December 8th.
The organization seeks to build an elite gaming team that motivates others to achieve their dreams and promote positive mental health. There will also be community-focused initiatives, such as tournaments for charities, that will be announced at a later date.
The inspiration for the G1 name comes from the fact that although Vaccaro was known as a prominent football player all his life, he said he identified himself as a "gamer first."
"I've been a gamer for even longer than I've played football, and I've always thought of myself as a gamer first," Vaccaro said. "And even though football has been how many have defined me, G1 is also proof to other athletes that life does not end just because you put your helmet off. You can reinvent yourself."

Q: Reference an existing AWS VPC Id in CloudFormation script when creating subnets How do you reference the VPC Id of an existing VPC (which has been created before in a separate CloudFormation script) in CloudFormation script in order to create subnets in the VPC?

A: In the template defining the VPC, include the VPC ID in the outputs section:
"Outputs" : {
    "VPC" : {
        "Value" : {"Ref":"VPC"},
        "Description" : "VPC ID"
    },
    ...
}

In the template for the stack using the VPC, define a parameter for the VPC ID:
"Parameters" : {
    "VPC" : {
        "Type" : "String",
    },
    ...
}

When creating this stack, call describe-stack on the VPC-defining stack to get the ID from outputs, and pass it as the VPC parameter to create-stack.

A: Or get vpc id from input, such as
 "VpcId" : {
      "Type" : "AWS::EC2::VPC::Id",
      "Description" : "VpcId of your existing Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)",
      "ConstraintDescription" : "must be the VPC Id of an existing Virtual Private Cloud."
    },

A: Reference it by name
ie. "VpcId" : { "Ref" : "myVPC" },
In something like:
    {
   "Type" : "AWS::EC2::Subnet",
   "Properties" : {
      "AvailabilityZone" : String,
      "CidrBlock" : String,
      "Tags" : [ Resource Tag, ... ],
      "VpcId" : { "Ref" : String }
      }
    }

Q: Protocol Buffer how to define file in request message How to i define a property in the request message that is a file? I need a file to be sent with the request to the server.

A: You've at least two options:

*

*As bytes

*By reference

In #1, be aware that there's a limit of 2^32 bytes per message and so you'd need to consider batching larger files across multiple messages and potentially streaming these to the server.
In #2, the file is persisted somewhere (e.g. URL) that's accessible to the server. This avoids (un)marshaling the file into bytes for transfer and potentially avoids unnecessary file accesses until the server process needs the content.

Вооружённые силы Южной Осетии — совокупность органов военного управления, войск и сил (вооружённые силы) Южной Осетии, предназначенная для защиты свободы, независимости и территориальной целостности частично признанного государства.

ВС Южной Осетии насчитывают 1 250 человек в действующей армии и 15 тысяч человек в резерве. Согласно подписанному в 2017 году межгосударственному Соглашению, отдельные формирования Вооружённых сил Южной Осетии входят в состав Вооружённых сил Российской Федерации.

Создание

Сначала в каждом районе Южной Осетии имелась своя вооруженная группа, «отряд самообороны», во главе с полевым командиром. Первым командующим вооруженными силами непризнанной республики стал Олег Тезиев. Первым министром обороны стал Валерий Хубулов. Первой общей вооружённой структурой был ОМОН, командиром которого был назначен полковник Вадим Газзаев. Всем вооружённым отрядам было предложено вступить в ОМОН. В каждом районе организовалось по роте до 60 человек. Самое крупное формирование насчитывало 200 человек. Помимо ОМОНа (численностью 200 человек), были созданы формирования специального назначения. Они успешно осуществляли специальные операции, в частности против грузинских гаубиц, которые обстреливали Южную Осетию. Им же впоследствии была захвачена и грузинская бронетехника. Впоследствии армию Южной Осетии пополнил дивизион самоходных орудий и другое оружие, захваченное жителями Северной и Южной Осетии при непосредственном участии Олега Тезиева во Владикавказе и на близлежащем военном складе.

Вооружённые Силы Южной Осетии перед Пятидневной войной 2008 года
К началу новой войны с Грузией регулярная армия насчитывала 3 000 человек на вооружении армии Южной Осетии было: :
 15 основных танков Т-55, Т-62, Т-72 в основной массе Т-55, из них в боеспособном состоянии находилось всего пять изношенных Т-55 и один Т-72, которые и приняли участие в боевых действиях. На 2011 год все Т-55 находятся на консервации, используются один Т-72 и два трофейных Т-72SIM1.
 25 самоходных артиллерийских установок «Гвоздика» и «Акация», на 2011 — 12 гаубиц «Акация»
 12 гаубиц «Д-30»
 6 (по данным Lenta.ru, 23) РСЗО "БМ-21 «Град», на 2011 год — 2 единицы
 4 100-миллиметровые противотанковые пушки МТ-12 «Рапира»
 30 82-мм и 18 120-мм миномётов
 22 БМП-2
 14 БТР-70
 три зенитно-ракетных комплекса «Оса»
 три ракетно-пушечных комплекса «Тунгуска»
 6 комплексов «Стрела»
 10 спаренных зенитных установок ЗУ-23 (на 2011 год — 6 единиц, установленных на ГАЗ-66)
 Около 100 ПЗРК «Игла» (на 2011 год — около 20)
 50 ПТРК «Фагот» и «Конкурс» (на 2011 год)
 10 СПГ-9 (на 2011 год)

На вооружении Военно-воздушных сил республики находилось четыре (по данным Lenta.ru, три) вертолёта Ми-8. В настоящее время они практически небоеспособны. После окончания войны с Грузией и признания Россией независимости Южной Осетии произошло снижение численности личного состава и техники в вооружённых силах частично признанного государства.

Have you ever had just the right message come at just the right time? I've had plenty of those moments-be it from sermons, a friend's Facebook status, or what have you. But there's something even more remarkable when a message comes directly to you from someone.
Encouraging words on any day, but for those to come at the moment they did on the day they did is nothing short of a small miracle. See, around the same time on the same day last year, I was being loaded up in an ambulance to be transported to another hospital after already one surgery and a week in one hospital. I knew I was sick, I knew something was horribly wrong and I was finally getting the staff to fully listen to me and run more tests. What they discovered was life-threatening and had to be repaired immediately.
I was terrified. I didn't have a lot of trust in the medical personnel after the way my case had been handled up to that point. Then I found myself being shipped off to some other place I'd never been to be cut open by someone else I didn't know. I couldn't get a hold of my husband because of a cell phone problem (ironically my frantic text messages showed up on his phone more than a month later…thanks, ATT).
Life-threatening experiences have a way of sticking in a person's memory. I'm not saying that I'm going around all traumatized and upset. Far from it. But on the anniversary of such an experience, it's hard to not have flashbacks of the fear and mistrust.
So you can imagine that getting a text message like that in a moment like that meant a lot. It calmed my spirit and refocused my mind to the awesomeness of God rather than the downfalls of man.
My friend had no idea what my thoughts were today; he probably even sent that text out to several friends. But he listened to God's prompting to send the message and it was the perfect message at the perfect time.
Have you ever had the urge to share a verse or an encouraging word but didn't because you brushed it off as silly? I challenge you to never brush it off again. If you feel led to share an encouraging text message or status update or other message, do it! You have no idea who you might be blessing or helping.
I know I'm going to try and listen to those little internal prompts from now on!

Homeowners in Midwest U.S. offered tax credits for efficient heating alternative: wood-pellet stoves
Home heating fuels are expected to reach record levels this winter, with the change in the Midwest more pronounced than other regions of the country. Compared with last winter, Midwest households will spend 68% more for propane, 43% more for home heating oil, 48% more for natural gas and 4.9% more for electric heating, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in its October 2021 report. Natural gas, the most common fuel used to heat homes, has surged to prices unseen since 2008.
Government tax credits lowers cost of wood-pellet burning stoves in 2021 and 2022
Fortunately, homeowners concerned about the escalating price of oil and gas do have an alternative: wood-pellet burning heat. For homeowners with whole home central heating systems, a space heating stove can dramatically reduce heating costs and generate a simple payback of two or three years based on current and projected heat costs. Government incentive programs are sweetening the pot, offering consumers a 26% credit toward the purchase and installation of a wood-burning stove in 2021 or 2022, driving the actual costs of the stoves to the lowest price in years.
"This year has been overwhelming to say the least, I've never seen anything like it in terms of pellet appliance sales," said Stan Wiedeman of Wiedeman's in Batesville, Indiana. "Pellet stoves are our best sellers, and that's even before the customer learns about the government incentive program."
Wood heating systems don't have to be a hassle
Gone are the days of collecting, drying and feeding wood into a wood stove. "Older homeowners may no longer be physically able to gather wood from nearby property, while younger families may not have the time to process cords of wood for fuel," said Chad Schrock, CEO of Fiber By-Products, a wood-pellet manufacturer in White Pigeon, Mich. "Bagged wood pellets, made from wood waste by-product, now make the job easier for homeowners seeking a more efficient and environmentally friendly wood fuel source."
Bagged wood pellets are cost-effective way to heat home
Bagged wood pellet heat is 30% less costly than oil heat and 67% less costly than propane heat and can be purchased at hearth-and-home dealers throughout rural Midwest areas. The average wood-pellet stove uses about three tons of pellets per season at approximately $250 per ton, depending on stove efficiency and home insulation levels, making wood pellets one of the lowest cost fuel sources by volume.
Wood pellets, including ProPellet and Magic Spark by Beringea U.S. portfolio company Fiber By-Products (pictured), are available at Tractor Supply, Family Farm and Home, and local hearth-and-home dealers. Consumers can find more information at www.fiberby-products.com.

Reviews of VT162CD 'Tabhair mo ghrá go Conamara' - 'Bring my love to Connemara'
This is truly a record to be treasured by anyone with any interest in traditional singing in Irish or English from Connemara. Terry Yarnell's recordings, made in the early 1970s and never published, have now seen the light of day thanks to Veteran Records, with an immense input from Éamonn Ó Bróithe and John Howson enabling the CD to be accompanied by a most informative 35-page booklet.
The singers themselves are some of the finest to come out of the West of Ireland and deserve individual mention: Sean 'ac Dhonncha, Pádraic Ó Conghaile, Rita and Sarah Keane, Colm Ó Caoidheáin, Tom Pháidín Tom and Cáit Bean Uí Chonluain left a legacy that is still influencing singing in both languages – just listen to this and you'll see what I mean. The singing here's fit to be ranked alongside the better-known likes of Joe Heaney or Dara Bán, among others. The Keane sisters' pivotal role in the development of the family singing is well known, but there's plenty of high-quality singing here.
The field recordings themselves have been sympathetically optimised and cleaned up and the 22 tracks (13 in Irish, eight in English and one macaronic) should be of interest to a broader cross section of the folk world than the Irish title might lead you to believe (it translates as Bring My Love To Connemara). It certainly had me enthralled, and will be close to my CD player for quite a while
The Living Tradition
***** A treasure-trove of sean nós singing from the 1970s
I doubt there will be a more evocative, or valuable, Irish traditional music disc released this year than this spellbinding collection of archive recordings of sean nós singing, in Gaeilge (Irish Gaelic) and English, from County Galway. 'Tabhair Mo Ghrá Go Conamara' showcases six of the county's finest exponents of the ancient art in previously unreleased recordings from the early 1970s. It's a moment caught in aspic.
The treasure-trove from a lost age has been vividly captured by Terry Yarnell, alumnus of Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger's London's Singers Club in the 1960s. Especially poignant is the sense of solidly rooted tradition, lack of artifice and intimacy (a dog is heard barking in the background of one track). If Seán 'ac Dhonncha's 'The Bogs of Shanakeever' conjures John McCormack's signature rich burr, elsewhere is evidence of a less refined, more authentically bittersweet experience. The aged voices of Colm Ó Caoidheáin, Tom Pháidín Tom and Pádraic Ó Conghaile offer a touching, time-stopped fragility all their own.
Cáit Bean Ui Chonluain and the Keane sisters Sarah and Rita (aunts of De Dannan's Dolores Keane) inject necessary and eloquent female voices. Éamonn Ó Bróithe and John Howson's extensive notes are exemplary.

Members are encouraged to comment on the proposal. If certain provisions prove controversial and can be removed without affecting the overall viability of the amendment, we will remove those provisions from the text before the voting begins.
Voting is now open and will remain open until Tuesday, October 25, 11:59 pm Greenwich Mean Time (which is approximately 8:00 pm Eastern or 5:00 pm Pacific Time).
In order to ratify this amendment, 33 members must cast votes, and of those who vote, two-thirds (67%) must vote in favor.
ToE members are cautioned to refrain from trying to deny a person access to the forum for reasons unrelated to an awareness of questionable behavior engaged in by that person either here or elsewhere.
When someone asks for access to the forum, the forum members will be asked to consider whether they have reason to believe it is likely that the petitioner will not follow the rules for posting in the forum. If a member does have reason to believe it is likely that the petitioner will not follow the rules for posting in the forum, they are asked to submit a brief explanation of these reasons to the Rangers either by PM to a particular Ranger or by email to the Admin. account.
If at least two such objections are submitted, a summary of each objection received will be posted in a thread in the forum, and then ToE members who believe the petitioner should be denied access based on the stated objections will be allowed to voice this viewpoint by voting in a poll that is added to the thread. If 12 ToE members vote to exclude the petitioner, then they will be denied access to the forum for six months, after which time they may reapply. The summarized objections will be shared with the petitioner at the end of the consideration period, and there will be an annual review of the procedure to assess its effectiveness.
A member becomes eligible to access the "Thinking of England" forum after three months and 100 posts. After this time, a member can request access to the forum from a Ranger. Access is routinely granted unless the required number of ToE members voice their opposition to the petitioning member gaining access to the forum pursuant to the process outlined in ¶4.
"ToE members who object to the petitioner gaining access should submit a brief explanation by PM to a Ranger or by email to the Administrator account (List of Rangers and Admin. acct. email address). A Ranger will send an email acknowledgment to each person who submits an objection to let them know their objection has been received, and will forward a copy of this acknowledgment to a designated ToE member. Once two objections are submitted, a summary of those objections will be posted in this thread and the thread will continue to be updated in this way as more objections are received. Please do not post in this thread; it is intended for official updates only. Members are asked to refrain from publicly discussing the petitioner during the consideration period, as the petitioner is not in a position to respond.
You have the right) to post in our Thinking of England forum (a forum restricted to those who are 18 years of age or older) once you have met the eligibility requirements and if you have not been denied access pursuant to Article 6 ¶4.
• In the Thinking of England Forum, initiate announcement threads and oversee consideration periods in accordance with the instructions in Article 6, ¶4.

Personal thanks to all the members--you know who you are --who have ALREADY been instrumental in getting the amendment to its present form, through your insightful and humane suggestions.
I take it that this will be a Yes/No vote to approve the entire amendment text or to decline it. What will it mean if the majority votes No?
Also, the first post says that certain provisions may be removed as a result of discussion. Are changes to the text theoretically possible? I am not proposing any, but I've been confused about the scope of discussion in previous votes and I think it might be helpful for newer members to have things spelled out.
At least I've learned not to propose grammatical changes.
Yes it will be a Yes/No vote to it all. If the majority votes no, then nothing changes.
However, if any particular provision is too controversial, it can be removed during the discussion period, before the vote.
I am foggy on whether we have actually made changes to the text during this phase in the past; I seem to remember that we have, but Voronwë can probably tell us.
Actually, I would say rather that if the majority votes no, ToE is likely to come down with an extreme case of ellipses syndrome at some point.
The Charter provides for the committee removing parts of an amendment for later consdieration if membership commentary directs them to do so.
Did someone send that first global email out?
What I meant by 'nothing changes' is that there will not be anything added to the charter meaning there will be no protection for ToE. Just wanted to clarify that. I wasn't talking about changes to the ammendment.
Ah. Yes, Charter Amendment votes are votes between a set of additions and /or changes, and doing nothing to the Charter.
Does this vote require a quorum?
If you need a count of the active members for determining the quorum, I'll be glad to do it, but I won't be able to until late tonight. Perhaps you could get one of the other helpful Rangers to do it. Or you could ask Holby.
Yes, this one will need a quorum calculation.
I think it has to be done right as the vote opens, Tinwë, so "the past 60 days" is the 60 days right before the vote.
The quorum doesn't need to be calculated until we're ready to vote right?
We made some very minor, purely cosmetic changes to the wording of the Mission Statement during the discussion period, and I think one other time. We have never made substantive changes. There is no real precedent for what is required to make a major change to the ballot, but from my perspective, it should only be done in extraordinary circumstances. Again from my perspective, the main point of the discussion period is to discuss whether the amendment as presented should or should not be passed.
Actually, if more then 1/3 of the voters vote no, then nothing changes (in the sense that Eru meant it). Because a 2/3 supermajority is needed for the amendment to pass. That should be specified in the first post. Sorry I didn't say so earlier.
I copied this basic ratification text from one of the later ones that was previously used. They have always included the stipulation that if some aspect of the proposed Article (we haven't done an amendment before) is 'too controversial' then it will be removed and the rest of the Article voted on.
The committee itself will vote on elements of the amendment before presenting a final form to the membership for ratification.
It seems to me there is clearly provision here to make changes to the amendment, either by removing certain portions that are deemed controversial, or even withdrawing the amendment itself. It doesn't say anything about 'extraordinary circumstances', it simply says 'deemed controversial.' Since we've never had anything controversial arise in a ratification discussion (to my recollection), we've never been forced to decide how many objections makes something sufficiently 'controversial' to warrant taking one of those actions.
There is no real precedent for what is required to make a major change to the ballot, but from my perspective, it should only be done in extraordinary circumstances. Again from my perspective, the main point of the discussion period is to discuss whether the amendment as presented should or should not be passed.
I disagree. Why did we ever say that controversial provisions would be removed if we didn't mean it? Why did we ask people to speak up about things they object to if there was no reason for them to do so? If we required extraordinary circumstances to implement this, why didn't we say that?
It's important that I be up front about this, because I have been in the akward and undesirable position of facilitating the committee discussion while at the same time being the only advocate for an opposing position. I preferred Option B on the Final Committee ballot, the option that consisted of privately emailed objections to Rangers/Admin. acct. without a vote taking place in the ToE forum. I was the only one to vote for that option in committee.
I think this ratification is unusual in that we have another version of an amendment ready to offer if the aspect of this version that differentiates it from the other -- the poll vote in ToE -- proves sufficiently controversial that we (whomever 'we' might be in this case) deem it should be withdrawn. I think it would be entirely in line with the Charter Amendment Procedure text and with the previously used ratification text to offer the alternate proposal if it begins to appear that this one is too controversial to pass.
I feel the need to point this out on a procedural level, but I must also emphasize that the alternate proposal is my favored position, so that people don't think I am trying to influence procedure because of a desired outcome.
Speaking as a member of b77 and not in my capacity as part of this committee proceeding, I think it would be preferrable to try through this discussion to arrive at some proposal that is acceptable to the membership, rather than having the amendment go down to defeat, leaving the ToE forum with no protections at all.
Please forgive me if I seem abrupt, I'm writing in haste.
As I understand it (and speaking as a b77 member), the purpose of bringing an amendment to the Charter is to address some perceived deficiency in the Charter. The Charter was created to serve the community; the Charter in the case of Article 6 was seen to be deficient in its provisions for the Age Restricted Forum. We are trying to remedy that with this amendment.
It seems to me that to fail to pass some kind of remedy is to say that the amendment procedure itself is a failure. That's why I believe the focus in this discussion should be to come up with some kind of provision acceptable to the membership that addresses the problem that led to the proposed amendment in the first place, rather than taking an all or nothing approach to this particular proposal (if you see the difference I am trying to draw).
Tries to write a well-reasoned, unemotional response to Cerin's posts.
Promises to try again later.
Makes no promises that I will succeed then either.
Cerin, I vehemently disagree with you.
I'm just speaking my mind as a b77 member. That's how I see the spirit of the amendment process, and the Charter ratification process in general. The aim clearly, it seems to me, is to ratify. That is the only rationale I can see for saying we'll remove what is controversial -- so that what is not controversial will be ratified.
What do you see as the rationale for saying that controversial portions will be removed, if not to help ensure that the rest (what is not controversial) will be ratified?
Cerin, what you are proposing is not simply to have a controversial provision removed so that the rest the amendment can be ratified. What you are proposing is that the membership overrule the decision of the committee and substitute the completely different procedure that was rejected by the committee by an overwhelming margin: not just removing the poll provision, but also adding back in the requirement that at least five members would need to send an objection with an explanation to the Rangers, a requirement that does not exist in the amendment that we approved, which only requires two members to send objections with explanation to the Rangers.
The Charter is very clear at what the options are where there is a "controversial provision". The options are either remove the controversial provision and proceed to vote on the remaining amendment, or withdraw the amendment altogether and start over. There is no Charter provision that allows for a "controversial provisions" to be replaced by a completely different provision, which likely to prove to be at least as controversial, and which was overwhelmingly rejected by the committee.
What the Charter does not make clear is what constitutes a "controversial provision" in the first place. In my mind, if a sufficient number of people say that they simply can not live with an option that includes a poll, this amendment should be withdrawn and we should start over.
Frankly, I am probably just as disappointed that the amendment includes a requirement that anyone should have to give any explanations for their objections at all as you are that it includes a poll. But I am still willing to give this amendment my full support because I believe that it represents the best possible compromise between the competing interests that have been expressed so passionately lo these past few weeks (months? years? millenia?). I truly believe that this compromise amendment represents the best (and possibly the only) chance to pass an amendment on this extraordinarily sensitive and difficult issue and urge everyone to accept it as is as the best possible solution so that we can move on.
Cerin, what you are proposing is not simply to have a controversial provision removed so that the rest the amendment can be ratified.
I was speaking generally, about the three possibilities that are allowed by the Charter Amendment Procedure text and the ratification text. One is that provisions that are controversial be removed; the second is that the committee would go back to work on the amendment to make it more acceptable to the membership; and the third would be to withdraw the amendment.
I didn't mean to be proposing that in particular, necessarily. The point I'm trying to get at is, we have set up this process to try and facilitate ratification by allowing for various options: removal of controversial provisions, modification of the proposal to make it more acceptable to the membership, or withdrawal of the amendment.
I brought this up because of the comment you made, that the amendment shouldn't be altered except under extraordinary circumstances. I just don't see that assertion supported by the texts in question. We have set up the procedure so that the proposal (whether Article or Amendment) can be modified to make it more acceptable, so that it will be modified if necessary for ratification, rather than having a procedure that requires the proposal remain as presented and go down to defeat if portions are controversial.
The hypothetical scenario I mentioned was just to bring up the fact that in this case, the committee did not just come up with one amendment as we did when presenting articles for ratification; we came up with two different viable, internally consistent proposals. Why did we come up with two different proposals? Because there were some fundamental principles that could not be reconciled in a single amendment.
I was replying to Frelga's question, then, in speculating as to what might happen in this case, if, for example, the provision for ToE members to vote as a group to exclude petitioners was 'deemed controversial.' We might remove that provision, we might take it back to committee to work on it some more, or we might withdraw the amendment and offer the other one in its place, the one that was already constituted in committee. In other words, there would be no need to go back to work on the amendment in committee, because we already have an alternate proposal ready.
not just removing the poll provision, but also adding back in the requirement that at least five members would need to send an objection with an explanation to the Rangers, a requirement that does not exist in the amendment that we approved, which only requires two members to send objections with explanation to the Rangers.
Voronwe, that is incorrect. The requirement of two objections is not a threshold for denial of access, that is a threshold for initiating the poll vote in ToE. It is the poll vote registering 12 objections that is the threshold for denial of access for the poll model. So the model would make no sense without the poll. It is a dual process, dual threshold model.
So for example, IF (and this is pure speculation, because I wanted to answer Frelga's question and I strongly disagreed with your assessment) there were objections to the poll vote to exclude petitioners, then we could go back to work in committee to figure out a threshold for the current model without a poll; but that is essentially what was done during those long and arduous discussions, and the result was that the committee decided that for a model without a poll, the threshold should be 5.
The Charter is very clear at what the options are where there is a "controversial provision". The options are either remove the controversial provision and proceed to vote on the remaining amendment, or withdraw the amendment altogether and start over.
Well, there is the language in the ratification text (which as I say, I copied from one of the previous ratification threads) which says that the committee can re-work the proposal to make it more acceptable. I'm not sure how this differs from 'withdraw and start over', I think it's basically the same thing -- the committee goes back to work to try to come up with something more acceptable.
There is no Charter provision that allows for a "controversial provisions" to be replaced by a completely different provision, which likely to prove to be at least as controversial, and which was overwhelmingly rejected by the committee.
I guess you don't remember this exchange in committee. This is exactly the situation I was trying to avoid, and I thought both you and Ax had agreed with me about it, but I guess I should have pressed further to nail it down.
I think it would behoove us <snip> to decide ahead of time what we're going to do if it looks like whichever amendment we send up isn't enjoying a positive reception.
Obviously, I should have sought verification that it not only made sense to you, but that you agreed with the assertion that putting the second amendment up would be acceptable (in the case that the first proved controversial).
If we agree ahead of time on what to do I think it will lessen the chances that committee members might feel disgruntled, or think someone is trying to make an end-run around proper procedure.
Well, I take responsibility for not following through then, so that we would have agreement at this stage.
I cannot fathom what purpose there would be in starting over, since we have already exhaustively discussed all the principles involved. We know what we prefer if we don't have a poll model -- it is the other model we voted through in committee.
If you feel that we would have to start over, then I trust that you or someone who shares that view would volunteer to facilitate the second time around. As I said, I see no need to go through all the argumentation again when we have already distilled the preferred options into two discrete, internally consistent proposals.
I truly believe that this compromise amendment represents the best (and possibly the only) chance to pass an amendment on this extraordinarily sensitive and difficult issue and urge everyone to accept it as is as the best possible solution so that we can move on.
I honestly don't know which model represents the best chance to pass an amendment. One thing I'm sure of, however -- the possibility of offering the second proposal if the first one is 'deemed controversial' improves the chances of something being ratified, over the scenario of insisting it is either the proposal voted out of committee, or nothing.

1st Riga International Biennial of Contempoary Art
Needling, absorptive works animate a biennial in the midst of murky socio-political circumstances
'Don't be afraid,' an attendant reassured me, as I entered Hans Rosenström's Mikado (2009/18) at the first Riga Biennial (RIBOCA). Housed in Zuzeum – a forthcoming private art museum – the piece amounts to a dark room, in which I sat alone, staring into a mirror. As if that weren't disturbing enough, footsteps soon came a-tapping, by way of headphones, which were shadowed by a whispering voice that goaded my self-consciousness.
This work echoes the murky socio-political circumstances underlying a biennial that takes safe roads to a favourable but familiar result. There's something generic about executive curator Katerina Gregos's opening statement, which marshals a laundry list of contemporary worries – from ecological plight to unwieldy technological innovation – towards a sweeping thesis reflecting the baffling rapidity of change. Despite the predictability of these concerns, within the biennial format it seems fair to chalk up this kind of all-encompassing framing to the impossible expectation that large-scale art shows should embody some unified purpose.

And, anyway, as a local friend reminded me: 'It's the art and artists that matter.' But it also matters what art and artists are used for, and many Latvian artists and curators have concerns about the proximity of this show – along with the millions of roubles backing it – to Russia's perceived efforts to reclaim influence in the Baltic states. While locals are appreciative of RIBOCA's generous remunerations, many remain wary that imperialist power flows in mysterious ways. Hence a question posed by the Latvian curator Inga Lace: 'Is it possible to organize a biennial in Riga […] funded by private Russian money, which would not feel like a burden instead of a gift?'
Given the quantity of subtle, idiosyncratic artworks contributed by RIBOCA's 90 artists, it's a shame that such questions must be raised. Also unfortunate is the fact that my impression of the show was colonized by several highly produced, quasi-science-fictional films. Kerstin Hamilton's Zero Point Energy (2016), Julian Rosefeldt's In the Land of Drought (2016) and Alexis Destoop's Phantom Sun (2017): the slickness of these films grates. Straining to reflect poetically on the unsure future of humankind, they instead float a vaguely post-apocalyptic sublimity that bespeaks a fetishistic (not to be confused with critical) relationship to our uncertain future.
Better to focus on the many funny, needling, absorptive works distributed across the show's eight venues. Ariana Loze's Impotence (2017) is a double projection wherein the artist delivers a poignantly neurotic monologue about the near-impossibility of living with purpose in the 21st century. Marina Pinsky's Second-Hand Time (2017–18), on the other hand, looks back. With charmingly perfunctory technique, the artist's photomontages combine archival images of a Soviet parachute squad with her own photographs of Riga, reflecting on the region's troubled history while humbly dodging sensationalism.

In Riga's former biology faculty – unsurprisingly reserved for art that deals with 'scientific and technological developments' – is Erik Kessels's fiendish The Human Zoo (2018), for which the artist has hidden photographs of humans amongst various taxidermy beasts, thereby delivering a sharp jab at our anthropocentric egotism. A more didactic approach to nature appreciation transpires at Art Station Dubulti – a striking Soviet-era train station that houses the section 'Laboratory for the Deceleration of the Body and for a New Politics of the Senses'. The venue emulates a playful, science-centre atmosphere and, while I'm not sure this is the way to engender ecological awareness, in truth, I'm equally not sure that it isn't.
There's little reason to suppose that this art, which might well illuminate some passing child's blooming biological interest, threatens that which elicits gasps from those accustomed to a modernist lineage. In any event, there is plenty of the latter. Case in point is Taus Makhacheva's Dear R., R., K., S., M., A., C., S., K., I., G., L., A., A., L., P., G., E., J., D., M., C., B., O., F., F., R., D., M., E., L., I., F., L., A., M., T., K., K., L., P., F., V., A., L., L., (2018). In a former candy factory, Makhacheva has installed a crowd of variegated portable speakers, which broadcast the opening addresses of numerous emails. The result is akin to the human ecstasy for communication, ventriloquized by its own technological medium.

Technology's eeriness likewise animates Lynn Hershman Leeson's Infinite Engine (2011–18), which, presented within a mock laboratory, uses video interviews to communicate the ramifications of DNA modification. Elsewhere, boilerplate recitations of Latvian history are mercifully offset by more idiosyncratic historical works. With photographs and biographies installed throughout the biology faculty, Kerstin Hamilton's The Science Question in Feminism (2018) draws attention to the country's slighted female scientists. In one of the show's most morbidly melancholic moments, Andrejs Strokins has established a museum of Latvian fire: A Boy Who Set a House on Fire (2018). Located within a shack bedecked with pyro-referential accoutrements and smells, the work is engaging, gritty, nerdy and freaky.
Still, I wasn't afraid. Not of the art, at least. The many US soldiers with whom I shared my hotel were another story. I knew they had a purpose amidst the region's turmoil. As did I, it seems – as some kind of witness in yet another place where the pleasures of art seem unavoidably implicated in the machinations of power.
The 1st Riga International Biennial of Contempoary Art is on view at various venues around Riga, Latvia, from 2 June until 28 October 2018.

Authorized Providers collect Information about you (or any Registered Dependent, as defined below), that you provide during a Consultation, verbally or in texts, including Information that you enter or upload to the Maple Platform. Authorized Providers have access to Information through the Maple Platform that includes: the details that you provide in your consultation request; information you've entered or uploaded to profiles and medical records; information created during earlier interactions through the Maple Platform with other Authorized Providers; the name, email address, phone number, gender, date of birth and province/territory that you provided when you registered; and your emergency contact's name and contact information. Authorized Providers use Information to provide you with Healthcare Services and, as noted above, must comply with the privacy legislation and medical record-keeping obligations to which they are subject. Authorized Providers may create Information in the Maple Platform, such as prescriptions, sick notes and notes about your Consultation. They may export or print copies of your Information. Authorized Providers may, but are not required to, email or text your emergency contact if they believe that you are presenting with a healthcare emergency. You are responsible for advising your emergency contact that you are providing his or her name and contact information to Maple and Authorized Providers, and for obtaining any necessary consent from your contact for the provision and use of that information in connection with the Maple Platform.
Other Services. Maple provides services that support the provision of Healthcare Services, which may include receiving, reviewing and scanning or otherwise uploading laboratory test results to the Maple Platform, faxing prescriptions to pharmacies, and obtaining referrals for consultations with certain specialists, collecting information (such as that in referral letters and health card numbers) required for scheduled appointments. Maple provides some of these services to Authorized Providers (for example, the receipt and preliminary review of laboratory results), or Users (for example faxing prescriptions and arranging referral to specialists). These services require the use of Information.
Maple may expand the services available through the Maple Platform from time to time to include services that are healthcare related but not Healthcare Services (such as navigational services to assist you to access Healthcare Services on the Maple Platform). Unless otherwise advised, Maple Personnel will deliver these services. Maple Personnel receive privacy and security training and commit to complying with Maple's obligations in connection with Information to the extent applicable to their role, as more particularly described below in the section on Safeguarding Information.
Maple's collection and use of Information
Maple collects and uses Information to the extent necessary to develop, evaluate, improve and provide the Maple Platform and related services. We do not collect or use Information if non-identifying information will suffice. We do not record the audio or video portions of Consultations. More specifically:
Collection. We collect and use your Information to register you, create your User account ("Account"), authenticate you when you log in, and personalize your experience while using the Maple Platform. We use the place of residence and date of birth that you provide when registering for an Account to confirm your eligibility to use the Maple Platform.
When required for access to services insured by provincial health plans, we collect your provincial health number on behalf of the Authorized Provider providing the insured services to you and use and disclose the number to bill provincial health plans for insured services.
If you are legally authorized to make healthcare decisions for an individual (a child or a parent for example), you may create a profile for them by providing their first and last name, gender and date of birth (each such person a "Registered Dependent"). We use the date of birth and your assertion of their relationship with you to confirm your eligibility to obtain Healthcare Services for Registered Dependents and their eligibility to receive Healthcare Services.
Use for Storage. If you choose to enter, upload and store your Information or that of Registered Dependents in the Maple Platform, such as medical records or the name and contact information for an emergency contact, we will use Information as required maintain it on the Maple Platform.
Use for Services, Operation and Development of Maple Platform. We use Information that you upload, or which an Authorized Provider creates as part of a Consultation to make it available to you when you access your Account.
We use Information to provide you with services that you request us to perform on your behalf, such as securely faxing your prescription to your chosen pharmacy.
We use Information to notify you by text or email about services that you request, such as to notify you about the status of a Consultation or prescription order.
We use Information to the extent required to operate, deliver and support the Maple Platform.
We may use Information for loss prevention, anti-fraud purposes, and to comply with regulatory and legal requirements.
We may use Information to help us create, develop, evaluate, and improve the Maple Platform and Content.
Use to Determine Eligibility for Healthcare Services, Authentication. In connection with a request for Healthcare Services, you may provide the reason for your request (symptoms, prescription renewal or sick note). We pass along the Information you provide, your age and gender (and for certain Consultations including those booked rather than provided on demand your name) to an Authorized Provider to determine whether your request is for Healthcare Services that an Authorized Provider may deliver remotely through the Maple Platform. If the Authorized Provider confirms that your request is eligible, we identify the Authorized Provider to you and forward the Authorized Provider the Information you provided in your request, your name and where applicable, the name of your Registered Dependent. Unless you have elected to withhold access to information held in the Maple Platform about you (or your Registered Dependent), the Authorized Provider will be able to view the Information in addition to the Consultation specific Information we forward.
We may collect and use location data through GPS technology and your IP address where applicable to services you have requested, for example to ensure that we connect you to an Authorized Provider or pharmacy that is licensed or authorized to provide services in the jurisdiction where you are located.
We use your IP address for security purposes, to authenticate you before providing information about your Account activity in your Account settings.
Medical emergencies. If you submit Information in connection with a request for Consultation that in the view of the reviewing Authorized Provider indicates that you are in need of emergency services, Maple reserves the right to use any of the contact information you have provided to contact you. The contact will be strictly to inform you that an Authorized Provider has viewed and declined your request for a Consultation because your symptoms suggest a healthcare emergency.
Essential and Non-Essential Communications. From time to time, we may send Users service announcements, including information about our latest products, updates to our policies, Terms of Use and software ("Essential Communications"). We may send Users who opt-in to receive the information, information such as newsletters, or information about any upcoming events that we believe may be of interest or apply to them ("Non-Essential Communications"). Users may opt-out of receiving Non-Essential Communications at any time by logging into their User Account and updating their preferences. For clarity, service announcements including updates to our policies, Terms of Use and software are Essential Communications not subject to an opt-out.
Maple uses third-party software and service providers for a variety of services including but not limited to technical, operational and other business, and marketing services. For example, our live User support chat (Users may get troubleshooting and related technical assistance but not Healthcare Services through the chat function) is provided through a third party service provider. We require our third party service providers to limit their use of Information (that you or we provide or allow them to access) to that necessary for their services, and to have security measures in place that are appropriate for the protection of Information. Some of our service providers operate from outside of Canada, which means that Information they use on our behalf for their services may be subject to the law of country or state in which they operate ("Country") including lawful orders to produce the Information to among others, the government of the Country, its law enforcement and other agencies including where applicable national security authorities, and courts.
For additional details about Maple's third party service providers, please see https://www.getmaple.ca/subprocessors/.
Third party payers
As described in the Maple Platform Terms of Use, by authorizing someone else (a "Third Party Payer") to pay the Fees and/or Membership Fees for your Healthcare Services, you are representing to Maple, and Maple will rely on your representation, that you consent to Maple:
using the email address provided to us by the Third Party Payer to communicate with you regarding the Maple Platform and Healthcare Services;
disclosing the information that you have requested Healthcare Services to the Third Party Payer to permit Maple to process payment for the Healthcare Services; and
notifying the Third Party Payer of any changes or termination of your access to the Maple Platform.
If you have questions about the Information shared between us and Third Party Payers, please contact us as indicated below.
Maple's disclosure of Information
Emergency contacts, on consent. We disclose Information to emergency contacts as described above and for purposes for which we have User consent, including consent to disclose Information to an insurer or other Third Party Payer.
Compliance, Fraud Prevention. We disclose Information to the extent we, in our good faith judgment, are required to do so to comply with Applicable Law including to respond to a subpoena, order, or similar obligation to produce information, establish or exercise Maple's legal rights including defend against legal claims, detect, investigate, suppress, prevent or take action regarding illegal or prohibited activities, including without limitation suspected fraud and threats to the reputation or safety of any person.
Business transactions. We may disclose Information for the purposes of conducting required due diligence or the completion of a business transaction such as a merger, acquisition or asset sale. We will comply with any applicable legal requirements, including agreements and notice requirements that apply to the disclosure of Information for such transactions.
Maple's retention/deletion of Information
Unless we notify you otherwise, we will retain your Information on the Maple Platform until you (or Maple) close your Account. On termination, Maple will provide you an opportunity to print or copy your Information with the exception of notes of Authorized Providers. To allow Authorized Providers to exercise any right they have at law to withhold Information they create, only Authorized Providers may provide access to their notes on the Maple Platform, and any request for access should be made directly to them.
After the grace period provided for you to print or copy your Information (with the limitation described above), we will delete the Information associated with your Account, except for any Information that Maple is required to retain under Applicable Law or Information required by an Authorized Provider in connection with Healthcare Services. Maple will delete the latter once the Authorized Provider makes a copy or terminates his or her account with Maple. When Information is deleted, it is removed from our active database. Any Information that remains in our backup is securely stored and isolated from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Accessing and correcting Information
You can access your Information or that of Registered Dependents by logging in to your Account at https://app.getmaple.ca/login.
You may update or otherwise correct your Information, except Information an Authorized Provider has viewed or created. To update or correct Information an Authorized Provider has viewed, or request a correction of Information an Authorized Provider created, you will need to contact the Authorized Provider outside of the Maple Platform.
The Maple Platform offers you functionality and choices for protecting your privacy, which include:
You may enable two-factor authentication on your Account to help prevent unauthorized access. If you do, in addition to entering your password to log in to your Account, we will send a code to your mobile number, which you will need to enter. This added security means that a third party would need both your login information and your mobile phone to access your Account.
You have the option of using audio, chat, or video for Consultations.
When requesting a Consultation, you may withhold Information, for example in your healthcare records from the Authorized Provider. Please be aware that Authorized Providers may be unable to provide you with Healthcare Services as a result. They will advise you of the implications of your choice.
You may choose whether to receive communications by email or SMS.
You can check your login history when you access the Maple Platform.
Please contact us directly at [email protected] if you require assistance using the privacy functionality described above or more generally have questions about how to use the Maple Platform. To protect your privacy, we may request information to verify your identity when you contact us.
We only permit Maple personnel ("Personnel" which includes our employees, contractors and subcontractors) to access Information to the extent necessary to perform their designated functions. We require Personnel to complete privacy and security training and to commit to protecting Information by complying with our policies, procedures and Applicable Law.
We store your information in electronic format within Canada, using computer systems with restricted access and housed in facilities using physical security measures.
More generally, we have in place appropriate physical, technological, and organizational safeguards including access controls to protect Information against loss, theft, and unauthorized access, use and disclosure. Notwithstanding the safeguards we employ and our commitment to protecting Information, we cannot guarantee the security or error-free transmission or storage of Information. There are risks inherent in the use of electronic means to transmit and hold information in electronic format. These risks can be minimized but not eliminated by the use of appropriate security measures, such as the measures Maple employs. These risks include interception, loss, corruption, unauthorized access to, use and disclosure of Information, and delay in the availability of Information.
You play an important role in protecting your privacy and your Information and for that purpose, we ask you to do the following.
Create a strong and unique password for your Account using Maple's password strength estimator and update your password periodically.
Do not share your Account or password with anyone. We will never ask you for your password, including in any unsolicited communication such as letters, phone calls or email messages, so please do not provide it and contact us if you receive such a request.
Log out of your Account as soon as you finish using it, especially if you share the device you use to access the Maple Platform with anyone else.
Password-protect your device with a strong and unique password.
Choose a quiet, private location from which to receive Healthcare Services.
Maple's use of de-identified Data
Maple obtains the authorization of Authorized Providers to collect from them and use data created by de-identifying Information so that it no longer identifies a User ("Data"). Maple may use Data for monitoring the compliance of Users and Authorized Providers with the Maple Platform terms of use, for making use of the Maple Platform (and more generally of patient-initiated telehealth services) more accessible and enhancing the experience for Users and Authorized Providers through analyzing Authorized Provider usage and utilization patterns, and designing surveys (to be posted and completed at the discretion of Users). We may also use or disclose Data for the purposes of academic research. We will not use Data to re-identify Users or for any other purpose prohibited by Applicable Law. We will only de-identify Information in a manner that complies with Applicable Law.
The Maple Platform, email messages, and marketing materials use "cookies" and other technologies such as pixel tags and web beacons. We use these technologies to better understand the use of the Maple Platform, analyze trends, and administer, personalize and improve the experience of using the Maple Platform for Users and Authorized Providers. For more information about our use of cookies and your ability to accept or decline our use of cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy, posted at https://www.getmaple.ca/cookie-policy/.
Maple uses cookies including third party cookies to obtain information about the use of the Maple Platform. Detailed information about our use of cookies is in our Cookies Policy, available at https://www.getmaple.ca/cookie-policy/.

The H-2A guest worker program is a federal program that allows agricultural employers to hire workers from other countries on temporary work permits for agricultural jobs that last ten months or less.
While the guest worker program has many benefits, the H-2A program is extremely complicated, difficult to navigate and lined with bureaucratic delays.
The use of the H-2A program has proven to be effective for our company with over 70% workforce retention.
