Last night, a bunch of local SEO and affiliate marketers got together at the Steamworks Brewing Company at the edge of Gastown for a little get together. Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through the premises. The Gastown Brewing Company, which is located onsite and brews Steamworks beers, uses steam to fire its kettles. Steamworks claims the instant heat of steam allows for greater brewing finesse, and most importantly great tasting beer.
Trying Steamworks brewed beer with a bunch of crazy affiliate marketers is nice but the place is also a nice restaurant that serves an assortment of burgers and west coast cuisine. Among some of the attendees were Greg Morgan, Stephen Fung, Ian Lee from Affiliate Marketers Alliance, Gilbert Jason Bailey from Millnic Media and Billy Solaczek.
We discussed a range of topics dealing with SEO and affiliate marketing but it was mostly an informal gathering to do some networking and make new friends. It was great to meet everyone. Sorry I didn't get all your names. I'm looking forward to the next one.

i usually get really bad, painful irritation and razor burn after shaving and with this, i was burn free. it even worked well in preventing razor burn on my legs.
Instantly calmed the bumps!! Love this product!! Great!!
I live by this, It's the greatest! It calms my skin after shaving so well I tell everyone about it!
This stuff is great. No more bumps. I have used it after waxing and it really calmed my skin. Great product.


There are parties and then there are those 'wow' ones that people die to gate crash into. But what makes them so hot on the party meter are a few things that are smartly planned. So before you invite your friends for some festive fun or a new year's bash, let the fun-loving celebrity brigade groom you to play the perfect host this party season.
Guest list– Invite people who really matter and not those who will get you media coverage.
Venue– A chilled out and relaxed place that has a bit of indoor air conditioning as well as the outdoor, open air feel. I like our house Niladri apartments at Napean Sea Road for this reason, to have a party. Also, there is no harm in having a dress code.
Food– The menu should be well planned. It can be ideally a mix and match of what you like and what you feel your guests may prefer.
Guest list- Sober people for sure and not those who go crazy breaking bottles at the end of a party. Since I am very selective, I would prefer to call only the people who are close to me.
Venue– My house on Palli Hill is big enough for a nice party.
Music- No trance or hip- hop music for me. Something soothing would be relaxing likeghazal, classical music to start off with and the tempo can going up to lounge music.
Food- Indian and Chinese cuisines are the best options. I prefer to serve non- vegetarian, home cooked food for which I get my friends and my cook to help me at the kitchen. There are very few options for veg food I feel. If the number of guests grow, then I prefer to order for food.
Drink-Champagne for the women, whisky and vodka for men and red wine and white wine as alternatives.
Guest list-fun-loving people who know how to enjoy themselves.
Venue– anywhere with ample parking space.
Music– That is not deafening or might hinder conversation.
Food-Lots ofgood starters to keep the conversation going.
Drink- A mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Guest list– Loads of women, both pretty as well as the ugly ones to outnumber the men who keep flooding the parties.
Venue– The party can be anywhere but a drop- back home, is a must to help the guests to get sloshed by the end of the merrymaking.
Drink– overflow of alcohol and no entry for the non-alcoholics!

I'm having trouble sourcing Molybdenum here in Australia. I do have a local supplier on E-Bay who has some Solgar and some of the discontinued Thorne picinolate.
Hey Abe, Are either of them OK, as they both have cellulose in the casing and don't exactly say Amino acid chelate.
I can get both of these quickly and would order tomorrow if you think they are ok.
Orders from the US take a couple of weeks so this would be much quicker if I can do it.
The Solgar seems to be the "amino acid chelate" one so I will order that when i get home from work at lunch time.
Can't see anything without cellulose. i suppose they all have that as a capsule ingredient.


This is a glossary of terms that are, for the most part, unique to the world of financial investigations, or terms that have a different meaning than that which is commonly understood when they are used in this context.
NAIC (National Association Of Investment Clubs): Association that helps groups of individuals to establish investment clubs. Members of investment clubs pool their money and make group decisions on how to invest those assets. The NAIC can be contacted by calling (313) 543-0612 or by writing 1515 E. Eleven Mile Rd. Royal Oak, Michigan 48067.
Naked Option: Industry lingo for call or put options that are written and not covered or have another position that will limit their liability. In the case of call options, writers are naked if they do not own either the underlying security, a security convertible into the underlying security, or a long call at a strike price equal to or lower than the strike price that was written and that does not expire before the written call. In the case of put options, writers are naked if they do not either have a short position in the underlying security, a bank guarantee letter, or do not own a long put with a strike price equal to or higher than the strike price of the put that was written and that does not expire before the put that was written.
Naked Position: A securities position that is not protected from market risk in any manner. For instance, the position of person who writes a call option without owning a long position in the underlying security, or writing a put option without having a short position in the underlying security.
Narrowing the Spread: Closing the difference between a security's bid (highest price anyone is willing to buy) and asked (lowest price anyone is willing to sell) prices. When a stock's bid price, for example, is $8 a share and the asked price is $8 5/8, the spread is 5/8 of a point. If a broker enters a bid to buy at $8 3/8, the bid and ask are now $8 3/8 to $8 5/8, thus the spread has been narrowed to 1/4 of a point.
Narrow Market: Said of a securities market that is characterized by light trading, and larger price fluctuations relative to volume than would be the case if trading is active. A stock is said to be in a narrow market when its price drops more than a point between round lot trades without any obvious reason; this infers a lack in investor interest and too few orders.
NASAA (North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc.): An association of securities commissioners from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several of the Canadian provinces. This organization is an invaluable resource to investigators.
Conduct periodic examinations and audits to ensure solvency and financial integrity among members.
Under federal law, every securities firm doing business with the US public is a member of NASD. Roughly 5,500 brokerage firms, nearly 90,000 branch offices and more than 650,000 registered securities representatives come under its jurisdiction.
NASDAQ (National Association Of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotations): A computerized information network that provides brokers and dealers with price quotations on securities traded over-the-counter. The system has three levels. Level I displays a security's highest bid and lowest offer in the system. Level II displays market maker's quotes for securities in which they make a market. Level III allows market makers to actually enter their quotes into the system. NASDAQ is owned and operated by the NASD. NASDAQ quotes are published in the financial pages of most newspapers.
NASD Information Request Form (NIRF): Allows members of the public to obtain certain types of disciplinary and registration information regarding member firms and associated persons.
National Association of Investment Clubs (NAIC): Association that helps groups of individuals to establish investment clubs. Members of investment clubs pool their money and make group decisions on how to invest those assets. The NAIC can be contacted by calling (313) 543-0612 or by writing 1515 E. Eleven Mile Rd. Royal Oak, Michigan 48067.
National Market System (NMS): An informational system that is part of the NASDAQ system. NMS displays actual transactions, last trade and volume data.
National Quotation Bureau Inc. (NQB): Daily service that provides its subscribers bid and asked quotes from market makers in securities traded over-the-counter. Stock quotes are published in Pink Sheets and corporate bonds in Yellow Sheets.
NAV (Net Asset Value): An open-ended mutual fund's per share market value. In mutual funds, the net asset value is synonymous with "bid price" and "redemption price". In no load funds, the NAV is also the asked price. They are all one figure. In load funds, the asked price is quoted after the sales charge is added to the net asset value. Most funds compute the NAV after the close of the exchanges each day. It is calculated by taking the closing market value of all securities within the fund plus all other assets (i.e., cash), subtracting all liabilities, then dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of outstanding shares. The total number of outstanding shares usually varies daily because of redemptions and purchases.
ND (Nothing Done): In a day order, upon expiring at the end of the day, the status given to the order if it has not been executed.
Nearest Month: In options trading or commodity futures, the expiration month that is closest to the current month. For an option that has expiration dates available in September, December, March, and June, for example, the nearest month would be December if a trade was made in November. Nearest month contracts are more heavily traded then "furthest month" contracts.
Negative Cash Flow: Within an accounting period, a condition in which a business spends more cash than it receives through earnings.
Negative Yield Curve: On securities that are of similar quality, a condition in which yields on short term securities are higher than the yields on long term securities. Typically, short term interest rates are lower than long term rates--those who invest their money for longer periods are taking more risk.
Negotiable: A security that can be sold--that is, the ownership is transferable by delivery of a security.
Nest Egg: Assets reserved for a person's retirement. A nest egg is accumulated to assure the retiree with a secure standard of living for the rest of their life. IRAs are considered part of a nest egg.
Net: The gain or loss from the sale of a security--that is, the difference between the cost to purchase and the sale proceeds.
Net Assets: The difference between a company's total assets and liabilities.
Net Asset Value (NAV): An open-ended mutual fund's per share market value. In mutual funds, the net asset value is synonymous with "bid price" and "redemption price". In no load funds, the NAV is also the asked price. They are all one figure. In load funds, the asked price is quoted after the sales charge is added to the net asset value. Most funds compute the NAV after the close of the exchanges each day. It is calculated by taking the closing market value of all securities within the fund plus all other assets (i.e., cash), subtracting all liabilities, then dividing the result (total net assets) by the total number of outstanding shares. The total number of outstanding shares usually varies daily because of redemptions and purchases.
Net Capital Rule: The Security and Exchange Commission requires that all broker/dealers maintain no more than a 15 to 1 ratio between indebtedness and liquid assets. Indebtedness includes money owed to the firm, margin loans, and commitments to purchase securities. Liquid assets include cash, and assets that are easily converted to cash.
Net Change: Difference between a security's last trading price from the previous day to the next day. However, in the over-the-counter market, the net change in a security is usually the difference between bid prices from the previous day to the next day. For example, XYZ's last trade yesterday was at $34. Today's last trade was at $34 1/2. The net change is +1/2--that is, XYZ's final price on that day was 50 cents higher than the final price on the previous trading day.
Net Investment Income Per Share: In a particular accounting period, the amount of income received by an investment company from dividends and interest (minus any management fees and administrative expenses) divided by the number of outstanding shares. Short term trading profits are treated as dividend income. Net investment income is paid shareholders as a dividend.
Net Realized Capital Gains Per Share: Net amount (capital gains minus capital losses) that an investment company realized on the sale of securities divided by the number of outstanding shares. An investment company will usually distribute any net gains at least annually. These distributions are treated as long term capital gains to shareholders, regardless of the length of time they have held the investment company shares.
Net Worth: Dollar amount by which assets exceed liabilities. An individual's net worth equals the total value of all possessions (house, stocks, bonds, etc.) minus all outstanding debts (mortgage, credit cards, etc.). For a corporation, net worth is also known as "net assets".
New Issue: A security being offered to the public for the first time. New issues may be initial public offerings by private companies going public or additional securities of corporations already public. The distribution of new issues are governed by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
New York Futures Exchange (NYFE): A subsidiary of the New York Stock Exchange that concentrates on the trading of financial futures contracts.
New York Stock Exchange (NYSE): The oldest and largest stock exchange in the United States--also known as the "Big Board" and "The Exchange". The exchange is a not-for-profit corporation consisting of 1,366 individual members. It is governed by a Board of Directors that is made up of 10 public representatives, 10 exchange members, and a full-time paid chairman and president. The NYSE does not buy, sell, own or set the prices of securities traded there. The NYSE has operating divisions that are concerned with market operations, member firm regulation and surveillance, finance and office services, product development and planning, and customer relations. The NYSE imposes requirements on corporations who wish to have their securities listed on the exchange.
NH (Not Held): A market order to buy or sell that allows a floor broker discretion as to the time and price in executing the best possible trade. NH means the customer will not hold the floor broker responsible if a better execution might have been possible. This type of order qualification is principally used for large block orders.
Nikkei Stock Average: Index of 225 leading stocks traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The Nikkei is similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Both are composed of representative blue chip corporations (called "first-section" companies in Japan) and are price-weighted indexes--the movement of each stock is weighted equally regardless of its market capitalization. The Nikkei Stock Average is the most widely quoted Japanese stock index.
NIRF (NASD Information Request Form): Allows members of the public to obtain certain types of disciplinary and registration information regarding member firms and associated persons.
NL (No Load): Abbreviation used in newspaper listings of mutual funds to indicate a no-load fund.
NMS (National Market System): An informational system that is part of the NASDAQ system. NMS displays actual transactions, last trade and volume data.
Noise: Market activity caused by program trades and other circumstances that are not reflective of general opinion.
No Load Mutual Fund: A mutual fund that allows shares to be purchased without a sales charge to imposed on its investors.
Nominal Quotation: Bid and asked prices given by a market maker as valuation of a security, but not for trading purposes. Security rules require that nominal quotations be specifically identified as such.
Nominee: Person or firm, such as a brokerage house, whose name is inscribed on a security certificate if it is different from that of the beneficial owner. The purpose is to expedite transfers of title when the security is sold. The beneficial owner is the true shareholder and he retains all rights of ownership.
Non-Callable: A bond that cannot be redeemed before its maturity by the issuer. Call provisions in a bond's indenture agreement specify whether the bond is callable or non-callable. Because so many bonds issues are callable, bond yields are often quoted to the first date at which the bonds could be called instead of maturity.
Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock: Preferred stock on which unpaid dividends do not accrue. Omitted dividends, for the most part, will never be paid. This contrasts with cumulative preferred stock in which omitted dividends accumulate until paid to shareholders.
Non-Public Information: In the securities industry, non-public information most often refers to corporate information that will have a material effect on its stock price when it is released to the public. The information can be either negative or positive. An example of non-public information is an earnings report about to be released that is substantially worse than what most analysts anticipated. It is illegal for insiders to make transactions based on non-public information as they would have an unfair advantage over the rest of the public.
Non-Qualified Plan: A retirement plan or an annuity in which contributions are made with after-tax dollars. The contributions are not tax deductible because the plan or annuity is not an IRS approved pension plan. However, just as with a Qualified Plan, earnings accumulate tax deferred until withdrawn.
Non-Recurring Charge: A one-time write-off or expense--also called "extraordinary charge". These charges are required to be displayed in a corporation's financial statement. An example of a non-recurring charge would be a division that was closed down and written-off.
Non-grantor Trust: Usually an APT created by a NRA person on behalf of the U.S. beneficiaries.
Nonvoting Stock: Corporate securities in which shareholders of such securities have no voting powers--that is, they may not vote on the election of directors or on any corporate resolutions.
Normal Trading Unit (NTU): Standard minimum size of a trading unit for a particular security--more commonly referred to as a "round lot". Stocks typically have a normal trading unit of 100 shares. However, inactive stocks may have normal trading units equal to 10 shares. Any amount of shares less than a round lot is called an "odd lot".
North American Securities Administrators Association, Inc. (NASAA): An association of securities commissioners from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and several of the Canadian provinces. This organization is an invaluable resource to investigators.
Not Held (NH): A market order to buy or sell that allows a floor broker discretion as to the time and price in executing the best possible trade. NH means the customer will not hold the floor broker responsible if a better execution might have been possible. This type of order qualification is principally used for large block orders.
Nothing Done (ND): In a day order, upon expiring at the end of the day, the status given to the order if it has not been executed.
Notice of Sale: Advertisement used by a municipal issuer to announce its plan to sell a new issue and to solicit investment bankers to enter bids for the issue.
Not Rated (NR): Indication used by various rating services to show that a security or a company has not been rated. The abbreviation "NR" is placed next to the security's or company's name.
Novation: 1) The substitution of an older debt or obligation with a newer one. 2) An agreement to substitute one party to a contract with a new party. The new party has both the rights and obligations required by the original party. To make the transfer effective, consent of all parties is required.

Southwest Community Health Center recently announced that it would close its facility in Hillsboro, which opened in 2013 and has served more than 1,800 patients since. But according to SWCHC Executive Director Samira Godil, the changes to the nonprofit organization may not stop there.
Godil says SWCHC will begin transitioning Hillsboro patients to the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center in Hillsboro and plans to eventually transition patients of the Southwest Portland center to Virginia Garcia's new building in Beaverton, which will open in June. The building in Multnomah could then be sold and operated by a new owner, she said. Godil described the transition as a partnership between SWCHC and Virginia Garcia, but she said SWCHC may close entirely at some point soon.
"In the long run, I don't think Southwest Community Health Center will be there," Godil said.
SWCHC opened in Multnomah in 2005 and later opened the second center in Hillsboro. Both facilities provide uninsured residents in the area with medical care.
Godil said the recent decision to transition patients to Virginia Garcia was made in part due to receding public funding. And she said cuts to the Oregon ScreenWise program, which operates through the Oregon Health Authority and provides screenings for patients, hit the centers particularly hard.
Godil also said issues such as housing and the opioid epidemic have become more attractive to grant providers than serving the uninsured.
"(The Oregon ScreenWise program) was a chunk of our budget every year," Godil said. "Foundations have been focusing on other issues in the community, and this is a good option for the patients. Our goal and our mission is to best serve the patients."
Godil said the SWCHC board considered trying to certify the two centers as Federally Qualified Health Centers so that they could serve Medicaid patients as well as the uninsured, but ran into a few hurdles. For one, the center in Southwest Portland could not qualify as an FQHC because it is not located in a medically underserved location. And the Hillsboro market is crowded with other FQHCs.
"Having a third one (along with Virginia Garcia and the Neighborhood Health Center) does not make sense. We'd all be competing for the same patients," Godil said. "It's best that we join hands with somebody else."
Godil said Virginia Garcia treats a similar population to SWCHC and also provides more extensive services. Unlike SWCHC, Virginia Garcia provides dental, mental health and vision care and has a pharmacy.
"They are very culturally sensitive. They have a very professional approach. They have an excellent admin team, an excellent clinical team. They provide great care," she said.
Godil said SWCHC is still negotiating with Virginia Garcia about whether or not SWCHC staff will be included in the transition. She said the health center in Southwest Portland could be sold soon, but she is not sure what will happen with the building. Regardless, she said the majority of patients at the Southwest Portland center live in Beaverton or near Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and that the commute to the Beaverton center won't be onerous for Southwest Portland residents.
"It's going to be a change for everybody, but I think change brings opportunity too, and I feel this change will be really great for our patients," Godil said.

Posts Tagged ' Aurora/St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation '
Summer of Peace
Community elder, Ms. Bertha Givins, and Dan Kravetz, who came up with the idea for Summer of Peace two years ago.
For the third straight year, the Aurora/St. Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation, partnering with the Summit-University Planning Council and District 7 Planning Council, co-hosted The Summer of Peace celebration, a series of events that was the brain child of former ASANDC staffer Dan Kravetz. This "traveling block party" with events happening each Thursday, provided an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other and participate in activities benefitting the entire community. Thursday events included clean-up efforts, community gardening, live entertainment, cook-outs and the general spreading of goodwill and summer cheer.
We spoke with Irna Landrum, Executive Director of the Summit-University Planning Council, who shared some highlights from the Summer of Peace.
How did it go? It seemed like there was such a good feel to the events.
It definitely was a success, bigger than what we had done before, a bit overwhelming, but it went very well. We tried to do it a little differently, in the past it was more about getting out, seeing people and giving them information — more of a here's where you go, here's what you do, the food is over there kind of thing. We wanted it to be more interactive and thought it would be more successful if people could contribute and be engaged.
What were some of your favorite events?
The kickoff event was phenomenal. It was held on a vacant lot on Victoria and Concordia that had an interesting story: On that corner was a really dilapidated home. The neighbors wanted to buy and rehab it but that didn't work out and the home was demolished. But they were able to buy the lot and wanted it to be an asset to the community. So we held the kickoff event there and did a peace pole planting and worked with a landscape designer, neighbors brought seeds and plantlings and we did a small vegetable garden right in the middle of the lot. Police officers, political candidates from the district, and lots and lots of neighbors came out to the party. It was just so awesome. The owners wanted everyone involved and asked for ideas about what could be done with the lot — they made a list: What I like to see is… and people voted.
Another great event was the forum in July with candidates from the Minnesota House of Representatives District 65A. When people start talking about politics it is easy to discount this neighborhood — people don't turn out to vote — it seems easy to count out a community like ours. But that night we set out 50 chairs and we had to get more — nearly 60 people came out to ask the candidates questions. That was really rewarding
Also, we had a block party on Fuller Avenue at Chatsworth and Milton. We work with a group called Hearts and Hammers who help elderly and disabled homeowners rehab their houses. At that point Hearts and Hammers had done five houses on that block — now it's up to seven.
How rewarding to see all that progress in one place.
It really was. And there was one event that just SWELLED. It started with an idea — our community organizer met this neighbor who drums, he plays the bongos and congas, and she asked if he would lead a drum circle. He said sure and then spread the word to his friends. It turned into multiple drummers, a stage and sound systems, it became a little block concert. It was a bit overwhelming, but all the neighbors had so much fun. And the original neighbor said he needed some work done on his house, and I handed him a Hearts and Hammers brochure and they ended up doing work on his house. It all fits together.
What do you see for the future? I mean after you rest up from this!
There are three community gardens all along Victoria Street in several different neighborhoods. We want to see what kind of community identity we can build along Victoria. It seems like some of the physical barriers are really big psychological barriers — the neighborhoods are very different, but it will be good to focus on what we have in common.
It seems we need a fresh perspective, it is easy to say, "Here are the challenges and difficulties," but it is good to hear a fresh perspective of, "This is what's beautiful!"

Are you getting ready for your IELTS exam?
One big challenge on the IELTS is timing on the Writing test.
Today we'll help you with a great time-management strategy.
We recommend 20 minutes for Task 1 and 40 minutes for Task 2.
However, don't start with Writing Task 2. Do Task 1 first.
You also need to allow time for planning.
It really depends on you and how you prefer to write but we recommend that you practice and see what's right for you in terms of planning time.
As a general guideline, you could spend 4 minutes planning and then spend a few minutes after to check your work.
In Task 2, spend 5 minutes planning, 30 minutes writing, 5 minutes to check.
The biggest mistakes that people make with time management on IELTS Writing is when they skip both planning and checking at the end.
When you check, look for spelling, grammar, vocabulary, etc.
Listen to this episode to learn more about how to check your own IELTS Writing test.

Night Racing – the latest
Officials in Australia have again denied reports that they are preparing for the Australian Grand Prix to be held at night. Bernie Ecclestone has recently warned that Albert Park should install flood-lighting otherwise they risk losing their F1 contract when it expires in 2010.
The state government has set aside an extra $16.6 million for tourism for 2007-08, however tourism minister Tim Holding has denied that the increase in budget is anything to do with F1. "This has got absolutely nothing to do with a night grand prix," he said.
Meanwhile, the FIA are contemplating testing night racing in junior formulas before they are held in F1. Max Mosely is believed to want GP2 or the Renault World Series to hold a couple of night races before the transition to F1 is made.
"My suspicion is that we would want to see how it goes with another category before we committed to it for the world championship," Mosley explained. "We will not sanction night racing if it does not fulfil all of the safety conditions."
Mosley: Carmakers could quit
Manufacturers might quit Formula 1 – that is the stark warning issued by Max Mosely in an interview with newspaper Welt am Sonntag. His warning comes as he attempted to justify the FIA's proposals for the future of Formula 1 including controversial ideas such as limiting the rev range on the engines, and allowing turbo-chargers.
Many believe that the 2011 proposals go against the FIA's drive to cut costs because a lot of money would need to be spent in developing the new engines. The last car manufacturer to pull out of Formula 1 was Ford in 2004. Mosely has insisted that, "we must continue to cut the costs. My experience is that if one manufacturer decides it has become too expensive, another one could also say goodbye very quickly. We have to remember that the people sitting on these companies' executive boards are not necessarily Formula 1 fans."
Mosely then admitted that the current regulations, which were introduced to try and save money, haven't worked as intended. "Only two of them have actually reduced their budgets," Mosley admitted. "Instead of enjoying the cost savings, they have continued to spend exactly the same sums to develop maybe three or four more horse power – and that's crazy!"
The FIA are also trying to introduce new technology to the sport which could eventually benefit road cars and they are also trying to make the sport more environmentally friendly. Mosley has denied reports that he is attempting to introduce a 'standard car' for all teams, however he has admitted that the chassis rules will probably be changed.
"Do you know how much carbon dioxide is blown into the air when top teams run two wind-tunnels 24 hours a day, day after day?" he asked. "We are talking about thousands of tonnes, and then at the end of the day, the races are boring.
"And cars use 75 litres of fuel to go 100 km are not longer acceptable. If we do not acr, the very existence of Formula 1 will be under threat. We do not live on another planet so we have to face reality."
Tomita to be Fuji Speedway's new Chairman
Current Panasonic Toyota Racing Chairman and Team Principal Tsutomu Tomita, who has recently announced he is standing down from both of these roles at the end of June 2007, is to become the new Chairman of the Fuji Speedway. Fuji will host a Formula 1 Grand Prix this season for the first time since 1977.
Talking to journalists, Tomita said, "I am looking foward to taking up my new role at Fuji Speedway. I would like to thank everyone at Toyota Motorsport, and of course our partners, for their encouragement and support during my time with the team in Formula 1.
"I am moving on to a new challenge with Fuji Speedway so I will continue to be involved in Formula 1. The Japanese Grand Prix is returning to Fuji Speedway after 30 years and I am sure we will host a successful event. I particularly hope to see the Toyota team achieve great things at Fuji Speedway."
Team Orders: McLaren cleared
The FIA have cleared McLaren of any improper conduct during the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend. After the race, there were question marks over whether McLaren had breached F1's sporting regulations which ban team orders. Having looked at the evidence, the FIA have announced that McLaren's actions over the weekend were "entirely legitimate."
After the race, Ron Dennis admitted that he had told his drivers to ease off to protect the team's strong position and ensure they didn't risk retirement. Many saw these comments by Dennis as an admission that Hamilton had essentially been told not to challenge Alonso's position at the head of the race.
However, the FIA disagree. In a statement just released, the FIA have said, "Having studied the radio traffic between Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and its drivers together with the FIA observer's report and data from the team, it is clear that McLaren's actions during the 2007 Monaco Grand Prix were entirely legitimate and no further action is necessary.
"It is clear from FIA measurements taken after qualifying that McLaren fuelled Hamilton for five more laps than Alonso. This allowed Hamilton the option of a one-stop strategy should the safety car come out during his first stint."
The FIA felt McLaren's decision to pit Hamilton earlier than expected was justified as it would ensure that the Briton would not get caught behind a safety car.
"With no safety car during Alonso's first stint, there was a small but finite risk that it would come out during the five laps before Hamilton had to refuel," the statement continued. "This would have put him behind the field and at a significant disadvantage to any car on a full (as opposed to optional) one-stop strategy.
"For similar reasons, Hamilton was called in early for his second pit stop, thus assuring his second place, with or without a safety car."
The FIA's statement also points out that McLaren dominated the front of the field, allowing them to use a more conservative pit strategy than they might otherwise have done, and that it was the sensible option to take.
"Had the car in front of Hamilton not been his team-mate, McLaren might (probably would) have decided to risk the safeyu car and let Hamilton run for as long as hs fuel load allowed in the hope that he would come out of the pits in the lead after one of his pit stops. There is, however, no obligation on them to take this risk in order to overtake their own car. Indeed, it would be foolish to do so."
In closing, the FIA stated that McLaren were within their rights to ask both drivers to curb their pace to ensure that they both made it to the finish line and did not overstress their cars.
"It is standard procedure for a team to tell its drivers to slow down when they have a substantial lead. This is in order to minimise the risk of technical or other problems. It is also standard practice – and entirely reasonable – to ask the drivers not to put each other at risk.
"McLaren were able to pursue an optimum team stategy because they had a substantial advantage over all other cars. They did nothing which could be described as interfering with the race result."
Ecclestone wants McLaren punishment
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has said he is 100% behind the investigation over McLaren team orders at the Monaco Grand Prix. Ecclestone has gone on record as saying that he doesn't believe a fine would hurt McLaren enough.
The controvesy stems from the rumour that Ron Dennis requested that his rookie driver Lewis Hamilton not take any risks during the race, and that he should let Alonso win the race. Many in the F1 paddock believe that Hamilton had the skill to win the race and that team orders have prevented him from taking his maiden F1 victory. However, Ron Dennis does not believe his team have done anything wrong.
"Team strategy is what you bring to bear to win a Grand Prix," Dennis explained. "Team orders is what you bring to bear to manipulate a Grand Prix. And we do not, and have not, manipulated the Grand Prix."
Bernie Ecclestone believes that if McLaren did hand out team orders, they should have a severe punishment. "I don't know what the team orders are or were," Ecclestone began. "One this is for sure, if there were team orders which relate to the position of the two drivers – if somebody is told to move over or hold their position – it is against all the sporting regulations we have. If there were orders, they would be getting off lightly if they get the same sort of fine as Ferrari. They could be excluded from the championship or they could have points deducted.
"A fine for McLaren, with it's money, would not have the same effect as docking points."
The FIA has spent the last couple of days reviewing evidence, including radio transmissions between the cars and the mechanics. It is expected that they will announce their conclusions on Wednesday afternoon.
Ralf to go?
John Howett, president of Toyota F1, has admitted that the team are considering replacing Ralf Schumacher at the end of the 2007 season. Schumacher has had a poor season so far, coming to a head in Monaco where he qualified 20th, behind the Spyker of Adrian Sutil.
Many people have speculated about Schumacher's future in the sport, with common knowledge that his multi-million dollar contract being up at the end of the season. However, Toyota have always backed the German driver so Howett's admission has come as a slight surprise.
Jarno Trulli will be staying with the team, his contract ending in 2008. Even if they are on the lookout, Howett has insisted that they are working with Schumacher to help him overcome his poor form. "Of course it is frustrating," Howett said. "But to say that he is completely alone would be wrong. We must give him a better car."
Ralf himself has great self belief and has said many times this season that he has no doubts he will still be in F1 next year. Other drivers aren't so sure. It is rumoured that BMW team-mates Kubica and Heidfeld have been discussing Schumacher's poor form. Heidfeld reportedly asked Kubica whether he felt Schumacher would still be on the grid next season, to which Kubica replied, "I don't know. But the kind of money he makes at the moment will not be there for him any more."
Alonso: Ferrari favourite for next 2 races
Monaco winner Fernando Alonso feels that Ferrari are the strong favourites for the next two races in Canada and America. Although the McLaren team totally dominated the Monaco Grand Prix, Alonso has pointed to Ferrari's history at Indianapolis, believeing that they will continue their trend of doing well at the circuit.
"We hope it can be different this year," Alonso began, "because we now all go there with the same tyres. But Ferrari usually win at Indianapolis and so I believe that they go there starting as the favourites – and the same for Canada."
Ferrari have not won at Monaco since 2001, whereas they have won the United States Grand Prix for the last 5 years in a row. A one-two for Ferrari would certainly help their championship hopes as they currently lie 20 points behind McLaren in the constructor's championship.
On the hunt for illegal F1 Fans
Around 700 people are believed to be living illegally in Bahrain after entering the country on Formula 1 visas. More than 9,000 visas were issued to visitors for the Bahrain Grand Prix in April and the majority of these people left the country, however about 700 are unaccounted for according to Cololnel Yousif Al Ghatam, the Assistant Under-Secretary for Ports of Entry and Investigation.
"We have found that about 700 of them have still not left Bahrain," Al Ghatam explained. "They were granted only a two-week visa. Formula 1 visitors were granted a grace period of one month to stay in Bahrain without paying fines. We are happy that the majority of them have complied with Bahrain's residency rules."
When questioned over what action the authorities would take next, Al Ghatam replied, "We are contacting their sponsors. Those who arrived without sponsorship are being traced using the address in Bahrain they noted on the arrival form at the airport, which many of them have changed. However, we are confident we will and deport them."
The authorities are now appealing for those illegally staying in Bahrain to leave immediately as the grace period ended on May 16th. Those who are found will be presented to the Public Prosecution before being deported. They are also appealing to hotels and apartment owners not to shelter any illegal residents.
Todt: Championship still wide open
Jean Todt, team boss of Ferrari, believes that the 2007 championship is still wide open, despite Kimi Raikkonen being fifteen points behind McLaren drivers Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton.
"It's still very open, very open," Todt said. "If there were two races to go then a 15 point deficit would be impossible. But 15 points with 12 races to go, which is an average of 1.25 points per race, is not so much."
Despite the lack of testing between Monaco and Montreal, the Ferrari team are still pushing hard. "We have a few modifications which we will have for the next race," Todt continued. "You must always push harder. We respect our competitors very much. They are very good, they are strong. They have been more reliable than us at the beginning of the seasona. Some others are fighting hard behind us, so we have to push.
"Since the beginning of the seasons, two teams have been ahead of the others and I think it will be like that for a while. But as I said before, some others behing are working hard and I'm sure we can progress. We need to progress more than the others."
Green Proposals: BMW looking for early decision
Mario Theissen, team boss of BMW-Sauber, is hoping that that green proposals put forward by the FIA concerning changes to the sport in 2011 will be agreed soon. The proposals are controversial, suggesting engines should be changed to 2.2 litre turbo-charged V6s running on biofuel and rev-limited, as the FIA strive to make Formula 1 a leader in envionmental issues.
"There was quite a lot going on behind the scenes at Monaco as discussions about the future of F1 regulations continued" Theissen explained. "The dialogue started two weeks ago at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona. As a basis for discussion, the FIA introduced a consultation paper. On that basis, the manufacturers are invited to bring in their opinions and propositions. This will happen in the coming weeks."
At a time when the FIA are trying to reduce the costs associated with Formula 1, for example the engine freeze regulation, many have questioned whether the consultation paper contradicts the attempt to reduce costs.
"From a technological point of view, the topics discussed are very interesting," Theissen said. "We are talking about a completely new concept, which will also be relevant for series production. That's why BMW basically supports this approach. What we have to avoid though is the sky rocketing of costs. It is important that we commit ourselves early, in order to stretch the development work over several years."

The evils of resistance are great, I know, but of resignation are they not a thousand worse!
Stratfor recently made a "prediction" about Russia's future.
The Russian Federation's authority will weaken. Eventually, it will cease to exist as a polity. This prophecy, or forecast, as Stratfor refers to it (the full name of the intelligence firm itself is Strategic Forecasting) is no surprise to me. For years, I and many others have been predicting that all nation-states will lose cohesion and they will cease to exist as credible authorities. Countries are the great farce of our time.
I'll admit that many of our countries' services remain necessities for the sake of serving the people, but their sense of legitimate authority – and the reverence people show towards them – is misplaced. All countries should stop flying their absurd flags and national symbols, and disappear in as much blood and darkness as they were forged in the first place. We will support this transition to happen, in order to update the "political operating system" of our time.
I will continue to write op-eds at Press TV, which will be critical of US and British foreign policy. I'm going to arrive at a new op-ed very soon, possibly covering one of the crisis zones addressed in foreign policy.
Let this stand as a comment from me that I'm not on any particular country's side, especially not my own. I may criticize the US government more than the UK government, but only because it seems to be in charge of more foreign policy decisions concerning the UK than than the UK.
No country should be exempt from our scorn, especially not the countries in which we ourselves reside. The future is the inevitable, but being part of the future means helping it happen. Your country needs you. Help it to be defeated.

Q: The request is missing a valid API key - Google Sheets This is the background.js script of my Chrome Extension. I am trying to get a value from a spreadsheet using Sheets APIs. The sheet can be read by anyone, so I thought I wouldn't need any OAuth2 permissions/scopes and sign-in.
     if (message.action == 'clicked') {
            if (!connected){
                var user = message.user;
                var range = 'Teachers!A:A';
                let fetch_url = `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}/values/${range}`;
                fetch(fetch_url)
                    .then(res => res.json())
                    .then(res => {
                        console.log(res);
                    })
                };
            }

When I try to fetch, I receive this error:
error: {code: 403, message: 'The request is missing a valid API key.', status: 'PERMISSION_DENIED'}

What is wrong with my logic? Can't I avoid having to sign in people?

A: I needed to go to the Google Cloud Console and create an API key (and it is better to restrict it to the Sheets API for security).
I took that key and saved it as a variable and included it in the fetch URL like this:
let fetch_url = `https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/${spreadsheetId}/values/${range}?key=${API_KEY}`;

Worked!

A: it's not reading ${spreadsheetId} key, make sure it's linked correctly cause that error happen when you don't provide a correct api key

The betting subsector of the gambling industry has witnessed an enormous growth over the last few years which is evident in the number of companies springing up dialy and trying than ever to attract more customers than the competitors. In such a competitive industry, the betting companies have resorted to offering significant incentives to be able to attract new potential customers and tying down the old ones.The logical way they do this is through Free Bets UK.
For those interested in online betting but are afraid of taking higher risks levels, you need not worry at all as almost all the betting websites are offering free bets in order to encourage their potential customers.
Although the general concept is the same, the free-bets on offer vary from one company to the other. Due to this and some other factors, it is important that when signing up with the company, you will need to take some time to weigh up the options and ensure the best deal is obtained.
You will need to bear a few aspects of free betting in mind before proceeding with them.
So, before we proceed, let's come to a conclusion of what exactly free bets are?
Well, free bets are an amount of money that a bookmaker allows you to stake on a particular market.
If what you predicted turns out to be wrong, then it will cost you nothing unlike when you stake your real money and lose it but if the other way round, you won the bet, then you will receive profit from your bet.
One thing you should note is that you can only claim the profit and not the capital of any free bet you place.
For example, if you place a free bet worth 30 bucks and your selection is 4:1 and you are lucky enough to win the bat, then the amount of 120 bucks is provided to you. And the remaining 30 bucks are not counted as your earning.
There are different kinds of free bets. Before you engage with anyone, make sure you read the terms and conditions related to it. In some instances, to take advantage of some Free Bets UK, you will have to deposit some amount of money or place some cumulative amount of bets and whereas in some all you need is to open a new account with the bookmaker.
So when you are familiar with the ethics, it is important to know how best to use it which depends on the deals offered by the bookmaker.
How to go about choosing a free bet?
Like I earlier stressed, the sheer number of these online betting firms can be quite overwhelming at first but here I will list out some of the Best free bet offers which will include Free Bets Online, New Free bets, Free Bets no deposit or Free Bets without Deposit.
In making sure you are guaranteed your profit in case you win, you should ensure you choose a reputable online betting firm.
There are a huge number of companies out there and a lot of them are fully regulated and safe to use. However, this is not to imply that there are not some out there that would be better avoided. Another way to identify them is if you see adverts about them on National TV or state TV, then they may be worth trying out.
But if you stumble across an unknown Internet bookmaker you should do a background check to ensure that the appropriate gaming license has been obtained via the relevant authority. In the case of the UK, online betting is regulated by the Gambling Commission, and they would grant this license.
There are also other authorities regulating offshore bookmakers, examples being the gaming commissions of Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. You will be able to find this information on the online bookmakers' website.
Having decided on a reputable online betting company, the next step is to choose a free bet offer. As mentioned above, due to the competitive nature of this industry the free bet offers are changed on a regular basis. Therefore you should ensure you shop around before settling on one.
The offers tend to vary quite significantly, and don't make the mistake of thinking the biggest is best. It is important to check out the terms and conditions that apply to the free bet you choose. While one free bet may be significantly larger than another, you might find there are very specific requirements for the events you can use it on or the period of time in which it can be claimed.
Some sites are also better laid out than others and some are easier to use though this is a matter of personal preference, so take a bit of time to use the site first. Remember that you will be able to do this before you sign up, but that you will still qualify for the free bet offer when you do go ahead.
To save you the stress of finding free bets online, some of the reputable companies offering Free Bets UK are bwin, betfair, betsson, bet365, 888sport, Paddypower, William Hill, 188bet, betvictor, Betway .

Why You Should Avoid Paying for Gas at the Pump
Bobbi DempseyUpdated: Oct. 31, 2021
jabejon/Getty Images
Scammers are targeting gas stations with increasing frequency. Here's how you can protect yourself from fraud.
It's a simple fact of daily life: If you drive a car, you need to fill it up with gas regularly. But this part of your everyday routine could be putting you—and your bank account—at serious risk. Credit-card fraud at gas stations is rising significantly, prompting banks, law-enforcement agencies, and credit-card companies to urge consumers to avoid paying at the pump and instead pay inside whenever possible. Before you fuel up, make sure you know how to save money on gas each year. Here's what you need to know.
The most common scam tool
Gas-station fraud commonly occurs with the use of skimmers—small devices that thieves place on or above the card readers at gas pumps (and also ATMs) to copy and steal your card information. How big is this problem? In 2018, Florida investigators found nearly 1,000 skimmers at gas pumps in that state alone. And according to data from the credit-scoring company FICO, fraud from card skimming is increasing nationally at the rate of 10 percent per year.
According to Robert Siciliano, a security expert for Porch.com, gas-pump skimming can happen in a number of different ways. "Criminals can install a skimming device on the face of the pump where users insert their card, or they will get access and purchase pump keys online to open up the actual pump itself and insert an internal skimmer in line with the point-of-sale (POS) Internet connection," he explains. These skimmers are even customized to the gas pump or ATM machine to which they are affixed. "In other words, the plastics are shaped, colored, and molded specifically to the device in which they are attached," Siciliano says. "It is very difficult for a consumer to determine what is real and what is fake, or if there is a device attached to the face of their ATM or gas pump."
One Secret Service agent who was involved in an investigation about gas skimmers was the victim of gas-pump fraud himself—twice. So, even a government official who's trained on this topic often can't tell if skimmers are there. Siciliano adds that it's becoming increasingly common for gas pumps to be skimmed internally: "This means there is a device attached in the communication lines that intercepts the card number as it travels over the Internet."

Look for signs of tampering

If a crook has opened up the pump itself to place the skimmer or other device inside, that's even tougher to detect, but there may be a clue. "One way to spot a pump that's been tampered with is to look for security seals that are properly placed," says Greg Mahnken, a credit industry analyst at Credit Card Insider. "Employees will usually place security seals over points of entry for the pump, such as over a keyhole or where the pump swings open for service access. Security seals are tamper-evident."
According to the FTC, these seals are large adhesive labels that are generally placed on the pump, near the card reader. If they've been tampered with—i.e., the seal has been broken or the sticker has been removed—you'll see text that you won't see otherwise. "Most security seals will read the word VOID if they've been peeled, stretched, or otherwise tampered with," says Mahnken. "If you see a security seal that reads VOID, don't use that pump and notify an employee."
Scammers are getting more sophisticated in their tactics
While we generally think about card skimmers when we talk about gas-station security risks, there are new high-tech scams that involve other tactics, some of which don't require the scammer to physically go to that location at all. In November 2019, Visa issued a security alert about two attacks in which someone sent a malware-infected phishing email to a merchant employee, which allowed the scammer to access the POS payment processing system for those who paid at the pump. This is another reason why you should always pay inside, if you can. Bonus: While you're in there, you can caffeinate yourself.

Chip cards offer enhanced security

So, how can you protect yourself? According to Visa, "non-fuel merchants that are chip-enabled have experienced a significant 81 percent decrease in counterfeit fraud dollars." However, troubling statistics show that only 10 percent of fuel pumps nationwide have this feature. Visa recommends that "consumers should remember to check the fuel pump to see if a chip reader is installed. If they are not sure if the pump is safe, pay inside with a chip card."
Payment stations usually indicate if they have a chip reader. But you can also tell because you need to keep your card inserted while the system reads the chip, as opposed to just quickly sliding the card in and out, as you do for old-fashioned magnetic stripe readers.
Gas merchants have been much slower to incorporate EMV (chip reader) technology than retail stores, but this tech will eventually be more widespread. "The fuel segment has its own unique challenges, which we recognized when we first set the chip activation date for automated fuel dispensers/pumps (AFDs) two years after regular in-store locations," noted an official Visa statement. While that EMV activation date for gas stations has been pushed back, it is on the horizon: October 1, 2020.
Debit cards put you at the greatest risk
While any form of plastic payment can be stolen or compromised, debit cards present the most risk because if thieves get your card information, they can quickly drain your account or leave you without access to your money. Most debit cards also generally don't have the same protections as credit cards, though Visa notes that its Zero Liability Policy protects cardholders against fraud and unauthorized charges for both debit and credit cards equally. Still, experts recommend that it's usually best to use a credit card and, ideally, pay inside. Or if you use the same gas stations frequently, buy gas-station gift cards. They don't have any of your personal information connected to them, and since they have a limited value, your potential losses—should a scammer somehow get the numbers—would be relatively minimal.
Here are some other times swiping your debit card puts your money at risk.
Take advantage of your card's fraud-prevention features
Most credit-card companies now offer an array of safety features that help you avoid getting scammed or allow you to react quickly in case of fraud.

José Joaquín Vicente de Iturrigaray y Aróstegui (* 27. Juni 1742 in Cádiz, Spanien (nach anderen Quellen: in Navarra); † September 1814 (nach anderen Quellen: Dezember 1815) in Madrid, Spanien) war ein spanischer Offizier und Kolonialverwalter, der als Vizekönig von Neuspanien amtierte.

Leben

Familie, Ausbildung und Militärkarriere
Iturrigaray kam als Sohn einer wohlhabenden Kaufmannsfamilie aus Navarra zur Welt. Seine Eltern waren José de Iturrigaray und María Manuela de Aróstegui. José wählte die Militärkarriere und trat siebzehnjährig als Kadett der Infanterie in den Heeresdienst. 1762 nahm er am Feldzug der Spanier gegen Portugal (Guerra Fantástica) im Rahmen des siebenjährigen Krieges teil und wurde zum Leutnant befördert.

1777 ernannte man ihn zum Hauptmann der königlichen Carabineros. 1789 erreichte er den Rang eines Brigadegenerals. Im Ersten Koalitionskrieg gegen das revolutionäre Frankreich wurde er zum Feldmarschall erhoben, 1795 erfolgte die Ernennung als Generalleutnant. Im Orangen-Krieg 1801 gegen Portugal nahm er als Befehlshaber des andalusischen Heeres teil.

Politische Karriere
Durch die Freundschaft mit Manuel de Godoy, der Spaniens Außen- und Kriegspolitik jener Zeit entscheidend prägte, wurde er zum Schritt in die Politik ermuntert. Er amtierte kurzzeitig als Generalkapitän von Andalusien und als Gouverneur von Cádiz.

Amtszeit als Vizekönig von Neuspanien
Der Rücktrittswunsch des neuspanischen Vizekönigs Félix Berenguer de Marquina wurde im Juli 1802 angenommen. Auf Betreiben von Manuel de Godoy wurde sehr schnell José de Iturrigaray als Nachfolger bestimmt; schon Ende August 1812 machte er sich mit einem großen Gefolge aus Familie und Bediensteten sowie reichlich Gepäck auf die Reise nach Mexiko. Ein Teil des Gepäcks enthielt offenbar nicht nur persönliche Gebrauchsgegenstände der Familie, sondern Handelswaren, die Iturrigaray auf eigene Rechnung in die Kolonie schmuggelte.

Er erreichte Anfang Januar die Hauptstadt Mexiko-Stadt, übernahm die Amtsgeschäfte von seinem Vorgänger und hielt feierlich den traditionellen Einzug.

Als Iturrigaray seine Amtszeit begann, besuchte der deutsche Forschungsreisende Alexander von Humboldt Mexiko und hielt sich 1803 für neun Monate in Mexiko-Stadt auf. Seine Erkundungen über das Minenwesen in Guanajuato wurden durch den Vizekönig nach Kräften gefördert. Iturrigaray reiste ebenfalls nach Guanajuato, was dort für einiges Aufsehen sorgte.

Während Iturrigarays Amtszeit wurde die Pockenimpfung eingeführt, die Straße nach Veracruz ausgebaut und das Entwässerungssystem für das Tal von Mexiko weiterentwickelt. Der Vizekönig legte Wert auf Unterhaltung und ließ in Mexiko Hofbälle nach dem Vorbild des Madrider Hofes abhalten. Für das Volk ließ er Stier- und Hahnenkämpfe veranstalten, die sein Vorgänger verboten hatte.

Außenpolitisch versuchte er, wie seine Vorgänger, die dünn besiedelten und schlecht zu sichernden Nordprovinzen so gut es ging gegen Infiltration durch angloamerikanische Siedler und Abenteurer zu schützen.

Auch die Häfen von Veracruz und Havanna wurden zum Schutz vor britischen Angriffen verbessert. Mit dem erneuten Krieg gegen England ab 1805 befand sich die Kolonie im Verteidigungszustand, und das Ziel war, die klamme spanische Staatskasse mit Kontributionen zu entlasten. Vizekönig Iturrigaray beendete die Steuerfreiheit des Klerus, was zu heftigen Protesten der Kirche – etwa vertreten durch den Bischof von Michoacán, Manuel Abad y Queipo – führte.

Umbruch in Europa, Einmarsch Napoleons in Spanien
Durch den Aufstieg von Napoleon Bonaparte kam es im Mutterland Spanien zu bedeutenden Verwerfungen. Ab Anfang 1808 hielten die Franzosen strategisch wichtige Punkte in Spanien besetzt. König Karl IV. hatte zugunsten seines Sohnes Ferdinand VII. abgedankt, dieser wurde aber faktisch im Exil auf Schloss Valençay gefangen gehalten. Napoleon rief seinen Bruder Joseph Bonaparte zum spanischen König aus.

Viele Spanier reagierten mit Widerstand, der auch militärisch wirkte. Die Spanier setzten dem stehenden Heer Napoleons viele Hinterhalte und Scharmützel zu, ohne die große militärische Auseinandersetzung auf dem offenen Schlachtfeld zu suchen. Diese Taktik der Nadelstiche nannten sie Guerilla.

Die politische Vertretung der Spanier, die zu Ferdinand hielten, übernahm die Junta Suprema Central, zunächst in Madrid, später in Sevilla und in Cádiz. Ab 1810 übernahmen die Cortes von Cádiz die legislative Funktion. Die Exekutive (Regencia) beschränkte sich weitgehend auf die Kriegsführung gemeinsam mit England und Portugal gegen die Bonapartisten.

Reaktion in Neuspanien
Die Nachrichten vom Aufstand von Aranjuez, den Sturz von Manuel Godoy und von der Abdankung des Königs erreichten Neuspanien Mitte Mai 1808. Sie führten zu einem tiefen Riss durch die Kolonie, der sich an der Frage festmachte, mit welcher Legitimation und in welcher Form Mexiko regiert werden sollte, wenn das Mutterland Spanien nicht in der Lage war, seine Kolonien wie gewohnt zu steuern.

Auf der einen Seite standen die Peninsulares, die im Mutterland geborenen Spanier, vertreten durch die Juristen der Real Audiencia von Mexico; sie beharrten auf der Fortführung der bisherigen Ordnung und zählten auf eine baldige Rückkehr Ferdinands auf den Thron. In der Zwischenzeit hatten nach ihrer Vorstellung die Kolonien abzuwarten.

Auf der anderen Seite fanden sich die Criollos (Kreolen), die in Amerika zur Welt gekommene Oberschicht, im Vizekönigreich prominent vertreten durch den Magistrat (Ayuntamiento) von Mexiko-Stadt. Die Kreolen sahen im Aufstand, der sich im Mutterland bildete, ein Vorbild dafür, auch in Mexiko mehr lokale Selbstbestimmung und Unabhängigkeit zu erreichen.

Die Bandbreite der Meinungen war groß: Sie reichte von Pragmatikern, die nur eine kurzzeitige Übergangslösung anstrebten, um die öffentliche Ordnung aufrechtzuerhalten, bis zu entschiedenen Vertretern von Volkssouveränität und Unabhängigkeit nach dem Vorbild der Vereinigten Staaten.

Für den 9. August rief der Vizekönig alle Honoratioren der Hauptstadt zu einer beratenden Versammlung. Die Kreolen vertraten die Auffassung, dass die königlich spanische Herrschaft nicht handlungsfähig sei und daher das Volk in Neuspanien sich selbst organisieren müsse und eine eigene Gesetzgebung anzustoßen sei. Diese Position wurde von den Vertretern der Audiencia zurückgewiesen, Neuspanien sei eine Kolonie und ohne Mutterland nicht handlungsberechtigt, sondern unterliege unverändert den Entscheidungen von König Ferdinand. Eine politisch tragfähige Einigung konnte nicht erzielt werden.

Die Lage wurde komplizierter, als Mitte August zwei Vertreter der Junta von Sevilla nach Neuspanien kamen: Manuel Francisco Jáuregui und Juan Jabat verlangten, Neuspanien habe der Junta als legitimer Vertretung des legitimen Königs zu folgen. Wenig später traf ein Brief mit gleichlautender Forderung von der Junta von Asturien aus London ein, wo der einstige Ministerpräsident Pedro Ceballos Guerra eine Art Exilregierung aufbaute und publizistisch die Sache Ferdinands gegen Bonaparte vertrat.

Für die Audiencia waren die widersprüchlichen Vorgaben der Juntas ein klares Zeichen dafür, keinem von beiden nachzugeben, sondern auf direkte Order des Königs zu warten. Die radikaleren Kreolen hingegen sahen das Signal, keinen Befehlen aus Europa mehr zu folgen, sondern die Regierung Mexikos selbst in die Hand zu nehmen.

Vizekönig Iturrigaray neigte der kreolischen Seite zu und befürwortete die Bildung einer Junta vor Ort, die unter seiner Oberherrschaft die Regierung führen sollte.

Staatsstreich und Absetzung
Die Peninsulares reagierten am 15. September 1808 mit einem Staatsstreich. Unter Führung des Kaufmanns Gabriel de Yermo drangen mehrere hundert Bewaffnete in den Palast des Vizekönigs ein und nahmen ihn und seine Familie gefangen. Während seine Familie ins Kloster San Bernardo gebracht wurde, überführte man Iturrigaray in das Gefängnis der Inquisition. Die Verschwörer erklärten den Vizekönig für abgesetzt und benannten an seiner Statt den Feldmarschall Pedro de Garibay als Nachfolger.

In einer Sonderausgabe der Gazeta vom 17. September veröffentlichten Erzbischof Francisco Javier de Lizana y Beaumont und die Oidores der Audiencia einen Artikel, dass Iturrigaray aus Gründen der Sicherheit und der öffentlichen Ordnung gefangen sei. Auch die Wortführer der Kreolen, Primo Verdad, Juan Francisco Azcárate, Melchor de Talamantes und José María Beristáin wurden festgesetzt und eingesperrt.

Die Audiencia erhob Klage gegen Iturrigaray; der Prozess sollte in Spanien in Cádiz stattfinden. Der abgesetzte Vizekönig wurde nach Europa gebracht, wo er im Februar 1809 ankam. Im Februar 1810 entschied das Exekutivorgan der Cortes von Cádiz, die Regencia, dass er mit seiner Familie in Spanien frei leben dürfe und seinen regulären Militärsold erhalten solle; auch seine konfiszierten Güter seien ihm zurückzugeben.

Der gegen Iturrigaray angestrengte Prozess ergab eine Verurteilung wegen Untreue, die allerdings durch eine Amnestie belanglos wurde. Die Beurteilung seiner Amtsführung (Juicio de Residencia) führte zu einer erheblichen Geldstrafe, die er nicht komplett beglichen hatte, als er Anfang September 1814 in Madrid starb.

Enhancement of NGRF
Enhancement of the National Guidance Research Forum and a systematic literature review
The Department for Education and Skills (DfES), Engaging Adults in Learning Division, commissioned the Centre for Guidance Studies, (CeGS), University of Derby, and the Institute for Employment Research, (IER), University of Warwick, to:
enhance the National Learning Resource for Guidance based at the University of Derby
develop technical elements of the NGRF website to support this enhancement
increase coverage of occupational areas by ten for the Future Trends section of the NGRF website
undertake a systematic literature review of research evidence on career development initiatives, both within and outside of the workplace
Click here for more information on the project which developed the National Guidance Research Forum (NGRF) website .
Systematic literature review of research evidence on career development initiatives
The aim of the systematic literature review was to identify research evidence in a systematic and transparent way in order to ascertain what career development interventions (CDIs) motivate employees to engage in learning for work. Other factors that influence the outcomes of workforce development are also explored. The primary focus being to concentrate on research findings that specifically relate to initiatives at level 2 or below.
The review was designed to:
ensure synergy with current work in the area of workforce development, such as the Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) Teaching and Learning Research Project (TLRP), in order to generate a comprehensive and rigorous evidence base
contribute to the development of, and add value to, the National Guidance Research Forum (NGRF) and the National Library Resource for Guidance (NLRG)
capture and disseminate research findings in order to motivate practitioners, managers and policy-makers to engage in evidence-based practice
help inform the UK research agenda by identifying critical questions that need to be addressed in the future
The literature review process was adapted from a methodology developed by the EPPI-Centre, Institute of Education, University of London. Our research question focused
What career development interventions, at level two or below, from within and outside the workplace, motivate employees to engage in learning for work? With the sub-question: What internal and/or external factors influence the outcomes of workforce development?
From over 77,000 articles that were initially identified, the research team distilled the available research data and completed an in-depth review of 27 research studies that the met set criteria. In order to ensure consistency between the research teams, regular face-to-face meetings and teleconferences were held, including extensive email consultation.
