Q: Aura Json Uitl Api Issue I am passing Sobject using aura attribute.. But I am getting error as:

Invalid Aura API : Source

Here is the code:
orderadd : function(component, event, helper) {
    var action = component.get("c.addOrder");
    var obj = component.get("v.New_Order");
    component.set(obj.Name,component.get("v.Name"));
    component.set(obj.Quantity__c,component.get("v.Quantity"));
    component.set(obj.Address__c,component.get("v.Address"));
    component.set(obj.Type__c,component.get("v.Type"));
    alert(ord);
    action.setParams({
        "orderadd" : $A.util.json.encode(obj)
    });
    action.setCallback(this,function(response){
        var state = response.getState();
        if (component.isValid() && state ==="SUCCESS"){
            resp = response.getReturnValue();
            alert(resp);
        }
    });
    $A.enqueueAction(action);

}

Component Code:
<aura:attribute name="New_Order" type="Order__c" default="{'sobjectType' : 'Order__c', 'Name; : '', 'Quantity__c' : '0.0' , 'Address__c' : '', 'Type__c' : 'Cow', 'Date__c', ''}"/>

A: Validate Aura API (aura-api) This rule verifies that use of the framework APIs is according to the published documentation. The use of undocumented or private features is disallowed.
When Locker Service is enabled, the framework prevents the use of unsupported API objects or calls. That means your Lightning components code is allowed to use:

*

*Features built into JavaScript ("intrinsic" features)

*Published, supported features built into the Lightning Component framework

*Published, supported features built into Locker Service SecureObject objects

This rule deals with the supported, public framework APIs, for example, those available through the framework global $A.
Why is this rule called "Aura API"? Because the core of the the Lightning Component framework is the open source Aura Framework. And this rule verifies permitted uses of that framework, rather than anything specific to Lightning Components.
The following patterns are considered problematic:
Aura.something(); // Use $A instead
$A.util.fake(); // fake is not available in $A.util

Below are the public exposed methods as of today from the util library:

*

*addClass

*getBooleanValue

*hasClass

*isArray

*isEmpty

*isObject

*isUndefined

*isUndefinedOrNull

*removeClass

*toggleClass

As far as the Locker service is concerned it would not allow you to
  use  any unsupported or unexposed methods from the util library!
  ($A.util.json.encode(obj)).For details of all of the methods
  available in the framework, including $A, see the JavaScript API at
  https://myDomain.lightning.force.com/auradocs/reference.app, where
  myDomain is the name of your custom Salesforce domain.

If all you're trying to do is send an sobject value to the server side you can just pass it as a parameter to the auraenabled method. Below is an example of how you pass an account to the server side! Read about Standard and Custom Object Types
Markup:
<aura:attribute name="acct" type="Account" />

Controller.js:
var action = component.get("c.getAcc");
    var acct= component.get("v.acct");
    action.setParams({
        "acc" : acct
    });
    action.setCallback(this,function(response){
        var state = response.getState();
        if (component.isValid() && state ==="SUCCESS"){
            resp = response.getReturnValue();
            alert(resp);
        }
    });
    $A.enqueueAction(action);

Jonas this issue seems to have been caused by the changes to either Bug 1216687 or Bug 1226909.  Can you please take a look?
Is this reproducible in Mulet? Or is there any other way I can try to debug this without having to set up a full B2G build stack?
I'm not familiar with Mulet but I know No-Jun is so he may be able to assist here.
I built the Mulet with the latest gaia/gecko, and the PDF opens properly within the browser on all available resolution.  I think this might be Aries specific issue, since this is not reproducible on Flame either.

I don't really understand what was asked above. The regression is not caused by the PDF.js update, right?
We can look into bad rendering of the PDFs when the integration between Gaia and PDF.js will be restored. BTW, the updating of the PDF.js for Gaia is blocked by bug 1171998, so current version is outdated and might not work for some PDFs.
This used to work until the 6-th of December 2015. The next day it got broken. Ever since we cannot see any PDF files on Firefox OS.
Oh!  Not 100 % sure if there might be any breaks or not in today's build due to gecko.  If it is gaia, then yes.  It could be fixed.  So all we have to do is get a new version checked into the main repo?
With the way that spark is setup, it should be possible for at least the aries device.  It just needs to be in the spark distro.  At the same time, not sure what's going to happen with b2g.
There's a regression range here. So this is almost surely due to bug 1226909.
FYI, with bug 1247266 Pdf.JS works again on my Z3c KK build.

Full title:LOIS M. FORAN ET AL. v. ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS OF THE TOWN OF WESTPORT ET…
Date published: Jul 1, 1969
Under a 1967 amendment to 8-8, "any person owning land which abuts the land involved in a decision" of a zoning board of appeals may appeal therefrom. Apart from that legislation, an appellant must show aggrievement, and mere proximity is not enough to establish it. To be aggrieved, one must be specifically and injuriously affected in his property or other legal rights and must have a personal and legal interest in the subject matter of the decision as distinguished from the general interest of all members of the community. The plaintiffs, whose appeal was filed six months before the effective date of the 1967 amendment, offered, at the trial subsequent to that date, no evidence of aggrievement, but it was stipulated that property of the plaintiff F lay directly across the street from the subject property. F contended that the 1967 amendment was procedural and therefore should be applied to pending actions, and that under it she had the necessary standing to appeal, in view of the presumption that an owner of land abutting a highway owns the fee to the middle of it. For her appeal to be valid, however, she had to have qualified as an appellant when it was taken, i.e., during the fifteen-day period following publication of the board's decision. Since she did not qualify during that period, after which no valid appeal could have, been instituted, and since aggrievement was not otherwise established, the trial court had no jurisdiction over the appeal and should have dismissed it.
(One judge dissenting)
Decided July 1, 1969
Appeal from the action of the defendant board in granting a variance, brought to the Court of Common Pleas in Fairfield County and tried to the court, Levine, J.; judgment sustaining the appeal, from which the defendant Helen W. MacIntyre appealed to this court. Error; judgment directed.
Edward J. Capasse, with whom, on the brief, was Stephen Tate, for the appellant (defendant Helen W. MacIntyre).
Walter M. Andrew, Jr., with whom, on the brief, was Albert L. Harlow, for the appellees (plaintiffs).
KING, C.J.
The defendant Helen W. MacIntyre, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the applicant, is the owner of a house situated on a 2.4-acre tract of land in the town of Westport. This property is located in an AAA residence zone in which all house lots must have a minimum area of two acres. On March 27, 1967, the applicant applied to the defendant zoning board of appeals for a variance which would permit her to divide her property into two separate house lots of 1.4 acres and one acre respectively and which would waive the setback requirements on the 1.4-acre lot. The board granted the requested variance, and six plaintiffs, including the named plaintiff, Lois M. Foran, appealed to the Court of Common Pleas, which reversed the action of the board and sustained the appeal.
The applicant has appealed to this court and claims that the court below erred in several respects. In the view which we take of the appeal, the only claimed error which need be considered is that the named plaintiff did not establish that she had standing, under 8-8 of the General Statutes, to appeal from the action of the zoning board of appeals to the Court of Common Pleas.
The zoning board of appeals granted the variance on April 13, 1967, and the plaintiffs appealed within the fifteen-day time limitation for the taking of an appeal. General Statutes 8-8. During that period of time and up until at least October 1, 1967, when an amendment (Public Acts 1967, No. 712) to General Statutes 8-8, hereinafter more particularly discussed, became effective, it was clear that unless an appellant could establish that he was aggrieved by the action of the board, he had no standing to appeal from the board's decision. General Statutes 8-8; Chesson v. Zoning Commission, 157 Conn. 520, 522, 254 A.2d 864. In order to establish aggrievement, the plaintiffs would have had to prove that they "had a specific, personal and legal interest in the subject matter of the decision as distinguished from a general interest such as is the concern of all members of the community and that they were specially and injuriously affected in their property or other legal rights." Tucker v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 151 Conn. 510, 514, 199 A.2d 685; Hughes v. Town Planning Zoning Commission, 156 Conn. 505, 507, 242 A.2d 705.
Although the plaintiffs adequately alleged aggrievement in their appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, they presented no evidence that their property was affected in any way by the board's action except that all parties did stipulate that the property of the named plaintiff was located directly across the street from the applicant's property. But the mere fact that the property of the named plaintiff is in close proximity to the applicant's property is not enough to establish aggrievement. Indeed, in several cases in this court, owners of property actually adjoining the property which was the subject of the action of a zoning board or commission have been held not to have been aggrieved. Chesson v. Zoning Commission, supra; Kyser v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 155 Conn. 236, 241, 230 A.2d 595; Joyce v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 150 Conn. 696, 697, 187 A.2d 239; see Hickey v. New London, 153 Conn. 35, 37, 213 A.2d 308; I. R. Stich Associates, Inc. v. Town Council, 155 Conn. 1, 3, 229 A.2d 545.
The court below, in allowing the plaintiffs to prosecute the appeal, did not find that the plaintiffs were aggrieved. On the contrary, it found that they offered no evidence of aggrievement except for the stipulation. Both the court and the plaintiffs in their brief relied on the amendment (Public Acts 1967, No. 712) to 8-8 of the General Statutes which permits "any person owning land which abuts the land involved in any decision of said board" to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. The effective date of the amendment was October 1, 1967, almost six months after the date on which the plaintiffs had filed their appeal although prior to the actual trial in the Court of Common Pleas. The named plaintiff claims that this amendment involves only a procedural matter and thus should be applied to actions pending at its effective date. From this premise the named plaintiff claims that she, as the owner of property directly across the street from the applicant's property, had, under the amendment, the standing necessary to appeal to the Court of Common Pleas. In order to come within the provisions of this amendment, the named plaintiff relies on the presumption that the owner of land abutting a highway, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, owns, subject to the public easement of travel, the fee of the land to the center of the highway so that her property actually abuts the applicant's property at the center of the highway. See Antenucci v. Hartford Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation, 142 Conn. 349, 355, 114 A.2d 216. If we assume that the named plaintiff is, as she claims, an abutting landowner within the terms of the amendment to General Statutes 8-8 and that the amendment is applicable to a pending action, she still has failed to establish the standing requisite for a valid appeal at the time the appeal was taken.
At the time the plaintiffs took their appeal, and up until October 1, 1967, 8-8 of the General Statutes provided that "[a]ny person. . . aggrieved by any decision of said board . . . may, within fifteen days from the date when notice of such decision was published in a newspaper . . ., take an appeal. . . ." This statute permitted a very limited class of persons, those "aggrieved", to appeal from the action of a zoning board of appeals. It is clear that the plaintiffs did not establish that they were aggrieved persons at the time their appeal was taken. Thus, their purported appeal was as of that time invalid.
It is also clear that another condition precedent to a valid appeal is that it be filed within fifteen days of the publication of the notice of the board's decision. Once that fifteen-day period had expired and no valid appeal had been filed, the neighboring landowners, including the named plaintiff, were barred from appealing from the action of the board.
The board is required by 8-7 of the General Statutes to cause notice of a decision granting a variance to be published in a newspaper within ten days after the decision has been rendered. In this case the decision was rendered April 13, 1967. There is no claim, nor any basis for an inference, that the board did not comply with the law as to publication, and therefore such compliance is presumed. Scovil v. Planning Zoning Commission, 155 Conn. 12, 19, 230 A.2d 31. While the publication date does not appear in the record, the latest date for publication would have been April 23. Hubbard v. Planning Commission, 151 Conn. 269, 273, 196 A.2d 760. Thus, the fifteen-day period within which an appeal could be taken, as authorized by 8-8, would expire not later than May 8. Ibid. Consequently, there is no theory under which the named plaintiff, relying on the amendment to 8-8, which first became effective October 1, 1967, could have had the standing necessary to take the appeal during the time period which expired no later than May 8. This was not a case where a plea in abatement alleging a late appeal failed because of insufficient information in the record to support the allegations of the plea, as was the case, for instance, in Leonard v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 151 Conn. 646, 648, 201 A.2d 466.
We have assumed, as the named plaintiff argues, that she became a member of the class of persons entitled to appeal upon the effective date of the amendment to 8-8 of the General Statutes according a right of appeal to abutting landowners without proof of aggrievement as such. This contention, however, cannot advance the position of the named plaintiff because on the date when the amendment first became effective, October 1, 1967, the fifteen-day period had long since expired, making it impossible for the named plaintiff or anyone else to satisfy the second condition of 8-8 of the General Statutes with respect to the time allowed for appeal in this case. There is nothing in the amendment which can be construed as validating otherwise invalid appeals taken prior to the effective date of the amendment.
The plaintiffs have failed to establish that at any time before October 1, 1967, they had the standing necessary to appeal from the action of the zoning board of appeals. Accordingly, the court was in error in assuming jurisdiction of the appeal.
RYAN, J. (dissenting).
I am unable to agree with the majority opinion. I construe the 1967 amendment to 8-8 of the General Statutes to be procedural in its character rather than one affecting substantive rights. "It is a rule of construction that legislation is not to be applied retroactively unless the legislature clearly expresses such an intent. Michaud v. Fitzryk, 148 Conn. 447, 448, 171 A.2d 397; E. M. Loew's Enterprises, Inc. v. International Alliance, 127 Conn. 415, 418, 17 A.2d 525; Massa v. Nastri, 125 Conn. 144, 146, 3 A.2d 839; Skinner v. Watson, 35 Conn. 124, 126. The rule is not applied, however, to legislation which is general in its terms and affects only matters of procedure. Such legislation is presumed to have been intended to be applicable to all actions, whether pending or not, in the absence of any expressed intention to the contrary. E. M. Loew's Enterprises, Inc. v. International Alliance, supra; Neilson v. Perkins, 86 Conn. 425, 428, 85 A. 686." Lavieri v. Ulysses, 149 Conn. 396, 401, 180 A.2d 632; Schurgast v. Schumann, 156 Conn. 471, 487, 242 A.2d 695.
The instant case involves the standing of the plaintiffs to take an appeal. If standing is not established, the Court of Common Pleas would be without jurisdiction. Hughes v. Town Planning Zoning Commission, 156 Conn. 505, 508, 242 A.2d 705. At the time of the application to the defendant board, 8-8 provided, in pertinent part, that "[a]ny person . . . aggrieved by any decision of said board" may take an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas within fifteen days from the date when notice of the decision was published in a newspaper. The plaintiffs' appeal was timely and adequately alleged aggrievement. An amendment to 8-8 became effective October 1, 1967, after the appeal was taken and before trial. By its terms the act gave the right of appeal to any person "aggrieved" by any decision of the board "or any person owning land which abuts the land involved in any decision of said board." The purpose of the statute was remedial and provided an additional method of establishing standing in the trial court. It made no change in the substantive law, which requires the plaintiff in such an appeal to prove that the action of the board was illegal. Nor did it alter in any way any substantive rights of the defendants. The plaintiffs were still required to establish standing by proving either aggrievement or that they were abutting owners within the meaning of the statute. The amendment merely provides an additional method of proving standing. It contains nothing to indicate any legislative intent that the statute shall not operate retroactively under the circumstances of the present case. It is general in its terms and purely procedural. Its purpose and effect "is not to affect substantive rights but to govern a detail of procedure, merely. As such, it applies to all trials alike, irrespective of whether the cause of action accrued or the suit was brought before or after the taking effect of the Act. Hubbard v. New York, N.H. H.R. Co., 70 Conn. 563, 565, 40 A. 533; Zalewski v. Waterbury Mfg. Co., 89 Conn. 46, 48, 92 A. 682." Baker v. Paradiso, 117 Conn. 539, 545, 169 A. 272. The amendment upon its face applies to all appeals, does not exclude pending appeals, and, being procedural in its nature, is applicable to the instant appeal, which was pending when the amendment became effective. Toletti v. Bidizcki, 118 Conn. 531, 537, 173 A. 223. It is of course true that the search for legislative intent as to retroactive application may not in all instances stop with the determination that a statute concerns procedure alone. Even if the statute is procedural, it will not be applied retroactively if considerations of good sense and justice dictate that it should not be so applied. Carvette v. Marion Power Shovel Co., 157 Conn. 92, 96, 249 A.2d 58. Not only is there no injustice in the retroactive application of this procedural statute but to hold otherwise would result in an injustice. The determination of standing to take an appeal takes place in the trial court. One does not normally become aggrieved until the action complained of has been taken. Fox v. Zoning Board of Appeals, 146 Conn. 665, 666, 154 A.2d 520. In any case, the question of standing by virtue of aggrievement or by ownership of abutting property is one of fact to be determined by the court on the appeal. Hughes v. Town Planning Zoning Commission, 156 Conn. 505, 508, 242 A.2d 705.
The plaintiffs at the time of trial were entitled to elect whether to establish standing by proof of aggrievement or by showing that they were abutting owners. No evidence of aggrievement was offered, but it was stipulated by the parties that the named plaintiff owned real property located directly across the street from the subject property owned by the defendant Helen W. MacIntyre, and the court so found. It concluded that the properties of the named plaintiff and Mrs. MacIntyre were abutting properties. The instant case is clearly distinguishable from one wherein no right of appeal existed at the time the application was made, as in Demarest v. Zoning Commission, 134 Conn. 572, 59 A.2d 293. The plaintiffs had an existing right of appeal under General Statutes 8-8, and it was timely exercised. The amendment to 8-8 was nothing more than a reasonable modification of a form of remedy for enforcing rights. O'Brien v. Flint, 74 Conn. 502, 509, 51 A. 547. All that the statute has done is to make available two methods of establishing standing when formerly there was one. See Matter of Berkovitz v. Arbib Houlberg, Inc., 230 N.Y. 261, 271, 130 N.E. 288 (Cardozo, J.).
"An abutting owner is presumed under the law of this state, no evidence having been offered to the contrary, to own the fee of the land to the center of the highway." Antenucci v. Hartford Roman Catholic Diocesan Corporation, 142 Conn. 349, 355, 114 A.2d 216. Since no such evidence was offered, the conclusion of the trial court that the plaintiff was an abutting owner within the meaning of the statute cannot be disturbed.
The action of the defendant board in granting a waiver to the defendant Helen W. MacIntyre to divide a 2.4-acre parcel of land in a two-acre zone into two parcels consisting of one acre and 1.4 acres and in granting a waiver of the requirements of the regulations as to setback in a residence AAA district to "legalize the location of existing buildings" on the 1.4-acre plot thereby created was, on the facts of this case, a clear abuse of discretion and completely illegal. It does not merit discussion by this court.
I believe the action of the trial court in sustaining the appeal was correct.

Using Pumping Solutions to Create Snow at the Olympics
by User Not Found | Feb 08, 2018
Jeongseon Alpine Center, PyeongChang S. Korea
Olympic athletes work hard to win gold, but this February, Torrent Engineering and Equipment strives for white.
The Jeongseon Alpine Center is the site for 2018 Winter Olympic Downhill events, hosting the world's best alpine skiers. The venue will also host the Paralympic athletes in March.
Located in the northeast area of the country, this is a new site developed exclusively for the 2018 Winter Games.
Photo of piping inside one cooling tower on the Winter Olympics' campus in South Korea.
Torrent was selected to assist with snowmaking system engineering and pump station equipment, in conjunction with our U.S. partner, SMI, Inc., and our Korean ski industry representative, R & R Company. Torrent pumping solutions have been involved in past winter Olympic sites, including 2014 in Sochi, Russia, and 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Projects such as this require special expertise. Water is utilized to produce manmade snow for the venues, and the water pumping is typically very powerful, covering large areas of mountainous terrain. The snowmaking system is a critical infrastructure component and must help ensure that the venues will be ready and the games will occur as scheduled.
One of the bigger challenges for this project was the compressed timeline for a venture of this size and importance. When Torrent first visited the site in the fall of 2014, the ski area development had just begun. Within a period of two years, the system was designed, constructed and 100% operational.
A view of the pumps and panels used to create snow for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
Torrent prefabricated all the pumping solutions at our plant in the U.S. and shipped it to South Korea by boat in multiple containers. This was a big factor in completion and successful operation under the compressed schedule.
For a world-class venue such as the Jeongseon Alpine Center, the snowmaking system covers approximately 1,000 meters of vertical elevation, which called for special design and construction considerations.
The pumping system was designed to provide capacity for the snowmaking machines and to overcome the system elevation. This system's pumps stations are fully automatic and state of the art, which should help ensure a successful winter Olympic Games.
The primary pump station receives water from a large storage reservoir and includes six high-pressure vertical turbine-style pumps of 600 horsepower, with a total capacity of 4,500 Gallons Per Minute at 1,035 pounds per square inch. The primary pump station also includes a water cooling system to ensure the snow machines have optimal water temperature for the snowmaking process.
A booster pump station is located partway up the mountain and includes four high-pressure booster pumps of 450 horsepower each.
Looking up one of the several slopes designated for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.
The mountain system includes approximately 12,000 meters of buried high-pressure steel piping and 14,000 meters of three-phase electrical power cables.
When fully operational, the system requires over five megawatts and can produce more than 1,400 cubic meters of snow per hour. This capacity can help ensure snow production in minimal time, allowing personnel to select optimal ambient weather conditions for system operation.
Torrent is thrilled to be a part of this project, and we look forward to a successful and safe winter games.

One of my grandfather's cousins played a few songs on his musical saw at our family reunion this past weekend. Here's a video of him playing "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."
That is so cool. My kids would be very intrigued by that- we've never heard a musical saw before.
Oh my goodness that is so neat!! He sure is one creatively talented Grandpa!!
Can he play anything on it? That is cool!
Please tell your grandfather's cousin that he is invited to play his saw at the annual NYC Musical Saw Festival.
The next festival is July 16th, 2011. If that is too soon for him, he can plan for 2012. Please tell him to see info at www.MusicalSawFestival.org and to contact the festival through that website for an official invitation.
Very cool. My daughter would love that!
Not many can do that. Too cool.
Wow! this is just amazing.I haven't seen anything else like this before!
Great piece of information here. Thanks for this brilliant stuff.

NYSE:VGR
What Type Of Shareholders Make Up Vector Group Ltd.'s (NYSE:VGR) Share Registry?
If you want to know who really controls Vector Group Ltd. (NYSE:VGR), then you'll have to look at the makeup of its share registry. Large companies usually have institutions as shareholders, and we usually see insiders owning shares in smaller companies. I quite like to see at least a little bit of insider ownership. As Charlie Munger said 'Show me the incentive and I will show you the outcome.
Vector Group has a market capitalization of US$1.4b, so we would expect some institutional investors to have noticed the stock. Our analysis of the ownership of the company, below, shows that institutions own shares in the company. We can zoom in on the different ownership groups, to learn more about Vector Group.
See our latest analysis for Vector Group
NYSE:VGR Ownership Breakdown September 23rd 2020
What Does The Institutional Ownership Tell Us About Vector Group?
Institutions typically measure themselves against a benchmark when reporting to their own investors, so they often become more enthusiastic about a stock once it's included in a major index. We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing.
As you can see, institutional investors have a fair amount of stake in Vector Group. This suggests some credibility amongst professional investors. But we can't rely on that fact alone since institutions make bad investments sometimes, just like everyone does. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Vector Group's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story.
NYSE:VGR Earnings and Revenue Growth September 23rd 2020
Investors should note that institutions actually own more than half the company, so they can collectively wield significant power. It looks like hedge funds own 6.3% of Vector Group shares. That worth noting, since hedge funds are often quite active investors, who may try to influence management. Many want to see value creation (and a higher share price) in the short term or medium term. Looking at our data, we can see that the largest shareholder is BlackRock, Inc. with 12% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 9.6% and 9.4% of the stock. Additionally, the company's CEO Howard Lorber directly holds 2.5% of the total shares outstanding.
We did some more digging and found that 7 of the top shareholders account for roughly 52% of the register, implying that along with larger shareholders, there are a few smaller shareholders, thereby balancing out each others interests somewhat.
While studying institutional ownership for a company can add value to your research, it is also a good practice to research analyst recommendations to get a deeper understand of a stock's expected performance. While there is some analyst coverage, the company is probably not widely covered. So it could gain more attention, down the track.
Insider Ownership Of Vector Group
The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.
It seems insiders own a significant proportion of Vector Group Ltd.. Insiders own US$231m worth of shares in the US$1.4b company. That's quite meaningful. Most would say this shows a good degree of alignment with shareholders, especially in a company of this size. You can click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.
With a 23% ownership, the general public have some degree of sway over Vector Group. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders.
I find it very interesting to look at who exactly owns a company. But to truly gain insight, we need to consider other information, too. Be aware that Vector Group is showing 6 warning signs in our investment analysis , and 1 of those makes us a bit uncomfortable...

I have 2 small very safe grassy paddocks with stables close to the house which I thought might be suitable for horse folk travelling up and down the coast for a overnight stay. Both have fresh water, grass, shade, one has a double stable, one has a 1.5 sized stable, with posts/plain wire and foaling mesh all around. They are both within view of the house and can easily accommodate 2 horses each. We are an easy 10km drive from the M1. Perfect for those heading to a big event and wanting their horses to move around a bit and be on good pasture before or after. We are an easy 3.5 hours to Wahroonga. 1 hour south of Taree. Accommodation in the house could also be available, 2 double BR's spare, or stay in your own float. Power available/showers etc. $30 per paddock 1 horse (guaranteed solo use), $50 for 2 (horse buddies only). Email me or call 0417 685 244 for more information. Leave a message if I don't answer and I will get back to you asap.

"Drilling into community perceptions of coal seam gas in Roma, Australi" by Alexandra Bec, Brent D. Moyle et al.
Coal seam gas (CSG) extraction and its conversion into liquefied natural gas (LNG) for overseas export is a recent phenomenon in Australia. These activities have, not surprisingly, attracted significant attention because of their perceived impacts on the environment and communities. However, community and stakeholder perceptions of these impacts, particularly for local development, have gone virtually unexamined in the literature. This paper aims to bridge this gap by exploring local perceptions of CSG extraction in a rural Australian community. In doing so, the research determines the efficacy of using social representation theory (SRT) and social exchange theory (SET) to assess community perceptions of mining-induced change. Findings reveal that the community perceives CSG extraction to provide positive economic impacts but is concerned about its ability to facilitate long-term economic growth and development. Long-term residents considered regional development to be targeted towards satisfying the needs of mining companies and 'new' migrants to the region. A lack of information about the impacts of CSG extraction has led to heightened apprehension among long-term residents.

La Historia de O es una película francesa erótica de  1975. Se basa en la novela homónima escrita por Pauline Réage de 1954.

Sinopsis
Una fotógrafa de moda joven conocida sólo como "O" (Corinne Clery) es llevada por su amante René (Udo Kier) al castillo de Roissy, donde está sujeta a varios rituales sexuales sadomasoquistas. Ella lleva un anillo como signo de su iniciación.

"O" se encuentra con una modelo llamada Jacqueline. René lleva a "O" a Sir Stephen H (Anthony Steel), que fue criado como hermano de este, y juntos la comparten. Sir Stephen además, la azota a menudo en la espalda. Más adelante, "O" es enviada por Sir Stephen a la casa de campo de Anne-Marie (Christiane Minazzoli) donde ella y otras mujeres jóvenes [...]

La visita de "O" concluye con la inserción de los anillos de Sir Stephen en sus labios de la vulva, y es marcada con un hierro candente con sus iniciales para indicar que es propiedad de Sir Stephen; lo que le da derecho a Sir Stephen hasta de compartirla con otros hombres, como el comandante (Gabriel Cattand) e Iván (Alain Noury).

Rene se obsesiona con Jacqueline, que ya era amante de "O", y esta última inicia a Jacqueline llevándola a Roissy para cedersela más adelante a Rene en agradecimiento por haberla cedido a Sir Stephen. Por último, y para poner a prueba el amor de Sir Stephen, "O" le hace una quemadura en la mano con la boquilla de un porta-cigarrillo.

Everyone deserves safe and easy access to parks, but not all communities have that opportunity. This infographic highlights the features and steps to creating Safe Routes to Parks.
Safe Routes to Parks are of particular concern in communities lacking infrastructure, for example sidewalks, crosswalks, and speed humps to support safe walking and bicycling; where violence and crime are prevalent; and where there are high rates of weight-related diseases or conditions. Safe Routes to Parks aims to improve accessibility for people walking, bicycling, and taking public transportation, creating routes that are safe from traffic and personal danger for people of all ages, abilities, incomes, and races, and ensuring that well-maintained and well-programmed parks are conveniently located within a 10-minute walk.

Magnesiumtaurat ist das Magnesiumsalz  der Aminosulfonsäure Taurin.

Herstellung
Taurin kommt im menschlichen Körper und im Organismus von Tieren vor. Zur Herstellung von Magnesiumtaurat wird es allerdings künstlich im Labor durch Addition von Natriumsulfit an Aziridin  synthetisiert. Die Umsetzung mit einer gut säurelöslichen basischen Magnesiumverbindung wie Magnesiumcarbonat oder Magnesiumhydroxid ergibt dann das Magnesiumtaurat.

Eigenschaften
Magesiumtaurat ist ungiftig und hat  wegen der guten Wasserlöslichkeit eine bessere Bioverfügbarkeit  als andere Magnesiumverbindungen in Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln wie z. B. Magnesiumoxid.

Verwendung
Magnesiumtaurat ist als Nahrungsergänzungsmittel rezeptfrei im Handel erhältlich, meist als 400-mg-Kapseln oder Tabletten.

Angewandt wird Magnesiumtaurat vor allem bei Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen, beispielsweise bei Arterienverkalkung oder Bluthochdruck. Bereits bei einer erhöhten Aufnahme von 100 Milligramm Magnesium täglich sinkt das Risiko für Bluthochdruck um ca. fünf Prozent. Falls der Blutdruck bereits erhöht ist, kann die Einnahme von Magnesium ihn senken.

Magnesium sorgt für eine bessere Dehnbarkeit der Blutgefäße, da es die Muskulatur rund um die Gefäße entspannt. Das Taurin unterstützt dabei seine Wirkungsweise, indem es den Herzrhythmus reguliert.

Bei Studien mit Ratten konnte gezeigt werden, das Magnesiumtaurat die Entstehung von Grauem Star vermindern kann.

El deporte en Kosovo es una parte importante de la cultura de este territorio balcánico. Los deportes más populares allí son el fútbol y el baloncesto. Sin embargo, la mayoría de éxitos kosovares provienen de pruebas individuales como la lucha, el judo, el kárate y el boxeo.

La participación de Kosovo en las competencias internacionales está marcada por su condición de territorio en disputa: desde la declaración unilateral de independencia de 2008, Kosovo ha sido reconocida como estado soberano por 111 de los 193 miembros de Naciones Unidas. Sin embargo, buena parte de la comunidad internacional sigue considerándola una provincia de Serbia. Las federaciones kosovares han sido reconocidas como miembro de pleno derecho en diversas organizaciones deportivas, siendo las más importantes el Comité Olímpico Internacional (2014) y la Federación Internacional de Fútbol Asociación (2016). Antes de la independencia, los atletas kosovares competían bajo bandera de Yugoslavia, Serbia y Montenegro, Serbia o Albania.

Para competir con Kosovo es necesario tener la nacionalidad kosovar o acreditar orígenes kosovares. La disolución de Yugoslavia y la posterior guerra de Kosovo motivaron que un número significativo de atletas compitiesen por otros países, siendo esta la situación de Luan Krasniqi (Alemania), Xherdan Shaqiri (Suiza) o Besart Berisha (Albania). En otros casos, los internacionales kosovares han nacido en el extranjero y descienden de inmigrantes o refugiados.

Los primeros medallistas olímpicos kosovares fueron los futbolistas Milutin Šoškić, Fahrudin Jusufi y Vladimir Durković, miembros de la selección de Yugoslavia en los Juegos Olímpicos de 1960. En deportes individuales, el boxeador Aziz Salihu obtuvo un bronce en Los Ángeles 1984. Y después de la proclamación de independencia, la yudoca Majlinda Kelmendi tuvo el honor de ganar la primera medalla de oro de Kosovo en los JJ.OO. de Río de Janeiro 2016.

Just want to provide some feedback on my last rental. I rented the sports package, and I have to say that it was the worst set of boots that I have ever rented. The boots were cold, and very hard. My previous rental of the performance package was great, so all my future rentals will be performance and not sports.
I was very pleased with the service and equipment. It made for a day of great skiing at Loveland. I will remember Christy's in the future for my ski rental needs. Keep up the good work!

Q: Язык Си: реализация каррирования Каррирование, это преобразование функции от многих аргументов в набор функций, каждая из которых является функцией от одного аргумента. Вот тут статья в Википедии.
Как вернуть функцию из другой функции на чистом Си мне уже ответили тут, но возможно ли подобным образом сделать каррирование?

A: Пример каррирования суммы. Первая строчка самая трудная (читается по спирали).
int (*sum (int x)) (int y)
{
    int sum1 (int y)
    {
        return x + y;
    }
    return sum1;
}

int main (void)
{
    return sum (12) (13);
}

A: В Си++ такое уже сотворили в виде лямбда функции. Берётся один аргумент, и создаётся функциональный объект, который будет вычислять функцию от остальных аргументов.
int x = 7 ;
auto f = [ x ] ( int y ) { return x * y ; } ;

f - это лямбда замыкание, где переменная x фиксируется, а f может вычислять функции с остальным аргументом y.
В Си руками это лямбда замыкание можно сотворить самому. А каррирование это всего-лишь массив таких лямбд.
# include <stdio.h>
typedef struct szamok zamok ;
typedef int funt ( zamok * , int ) ;

struct szamok {
  int x ;
  funt * f ;
} ;

static  int funmul ( zamok * z , int y ) {
  return z -> x * y ;
}

void callfun ( zamok * z , int y ) {
  printf ( "x = %d : " , z -> x ) ;
  printf ( "y = %d : " , y ) ;
  int r = z -> f ( z , y ) ;
  printf ( "r = %d\n" , r ) ;
}

int main ( ) {
  // создание массива с разными x
  // и можно с разными функциями
  zamok za [ 12 ] ;
  for ( int i = 0 ; i < 12 ; ++ i )
    za [ i ] = ( zamok ) { .x = i , .f = & funmul } ;
  // --- где-то далеко вызовы
  for ( int i = 0 ; i < 12 ; ++ i )
    callfun ( & za [ i ] , i ) ;
}

проверка :
x = 0 : y = 0 : r = 0
x = 1 : y = 1 : r = 1
x = 2 : y = 2 : r = 4
x = 3 : y = 3 : r = 9
x = 4 : y = 4 : r = 16
x = 5 : y = 5 : r = 25
x = 6 : y = 6 : r = 36
x = 7 : y = 7 : r = 49
x = 8 : y = 8 : r = 64
x = 9 : y = 9 : r = 81
x = 10 : y = 10 : r = 100
x = 11 : y = 11 : r = 121

"Hydropower is using water to power machinery or make electricity. Water constantly moves through a vast global cycle, evaporating from lakes and oceans, forming clouds, precipitating as rain or snow, then flowing back down to the ocean. The energy of this water cycle, which is driven by the sun, can be tapped to produce electricity or for mechanical tasks like grinding grain. Hydropower uses a fuel—water—that is not reduced or used up in the process. Because the water cycle is an endless, constantly recharging system, hydropower is considered a renewable energy"

3 Players The Lakers Could Trade For
by Ben Cooper December 7, 2022
The Lakers have been on a roll of late despite a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Los Angeles is 10-13 and are in a tight race in the Western Conference.
Anthony Davis has sparked their recent run, emerging as an MVP candidate and playing like the best player in the NBA.

Targets have emerged for LA as they have gotten back into the playoff hunt. Multiple trade packages have been mentioned, with the possibility of Patrick Beverley, Kendrick Nunn, and draft picks or Russell Westbrook and draft picks.

"Anthony Davis is clearly a league MVP candidate. ... LeBron James is still that dude. And Russell Westbrook coming off the bench ... I can't say enough about the job that Russell Westbrook has been doing." pic.twitter.com/GZ1Ws5vZ6R
— First Take (@FirstTake) December 6, 2022
Westbrook has had a resurgence for the Lakers this season in his role as the 6th man. Head coach Darvin Ham has done a tremendous job with Westbrook, and he has found his game this season. Trading him away seems unlikely at this point unless another star emerges that Rob Pelinka thinks would be a better fit.
The package of Beverley and Nunn plus draft picks makes more sense for the Lakers. Beverley and Nunn have underperformed in their roles this season, and pairing them in a trade allows LA to match salaries of high-quality contributors.
The names that have been mentioned in exchange for this package include Bojan Bogdanovic, Kyle Kuzma, and PJ Washington.

Bogdanovic is the best fit on paper, as he is an elite shooter and would give the Lakers another forward. The 33-year-old veteran is averaging 21 points per game while shooting 51.9% and 44.1% from three. The downside to trading for Bogdanovic is his contract, as he signed a two-year $39 million extension, keeping him under contract through the 2024-25 season. If the Lakers are willing to take on the contract, Bogdanovic would be a great fit around LeBron and AD.
Kyle Kuzma thinks the Lakers would've won back-to-back if it wasn't for injuries.
Thoughts? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/a2fx9FO8KW

An intriguing candidate is Kuzma, who could have a reunion with the Lakers. Kuz was an integral part of the supporting cast on the 2019-20 championship team. Since his trade to the Washington Wizards, he has taken a jump and become a more well-rounded and better player.
The last candidate is Washington, who is on the rebuilding Charlotte Hornets. He would be a small ball center for LA and is a quality offensive player. Los Angeles could benefit from adding another big to contribute to the rotation.
The front office has some decisions to make as AD has the team rolling. Who you you think the Lakers should pursue, if anyone?

Bipartisan Coalition Introduces Bill to Extend, Reform Special Immigrant Visa Program
Shaheen, McCain, Blumenauer, Kinzinger introduce Special Immigrant Visa Program extension for civilians who served alongside Americans in Afghanistan
(WASHINGTON, DC) – Continuing a bipartisan effort to honor the service of civilians assisting the U.S. mission in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and John McCain (R-AZ) and Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) introduced the bipartisan Afghan Allies Protection Extension Act. The legislation, co-sponsored by Senators Shaheen, McCain, Ben Cardin (D-MD), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Ed Markey (D-MA), Rob Portman (R-OH,), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) and Representatives Eliot Engel (D-NY), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Alcee Hastings (D-FL), Duncan Hunter (R-CA), Ted Poe (R-TX), David Reichart (R-WA), Adam Smith (D-WA), and Steve Stivers (R-OH), will extend and reform the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program for Afghan civilians who risked their lives working with the U.S. government, American media and non-profit organizations.
The SIV Afghanistan program, which is set to expire at the end of the fiscal year, provides visas to Afghans who have provided faithful and valuable service to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan and face threats as a result. The bipartisan Afghan Allies Protection Extension Act introduced Wednesday night would extend the SIV program for Afghanistan for another fiscal year and institute other reforms, including the authorization of an additional 3,000 visas and expanded eligibility, so that the U.S. can keep its promise to the individuals and their families who served alongside Americans overseas.
"We have a responsibility to fulfill our obligation to the thousands of civilians who risked their lives and that of their families to help our country during a time of war," Senator Shaheen said. "Even as we conclude our mission in Afghanistan and face tough issues at home, we have a clear responsibility to make good on American promises to our Afghan allies who are now living in fear of retribution because they believed in our mission enough to risk their lives for it."
"These Iraqi and Afghan translators and guides risked their lives to assist American soldiers, and we made a promise to take in those who had served us when the American presence was scaled down and they no longer had our protection," Representative Blumenauer said. "If we pass this bill, we can come one step closer to keeping that promise for all who served. This legislation also expands the opportunity for sanctuary to translators who served just as bravely for U.S. media outlets, NGOs, and the International Security Assistance Force, as well as their families who would be in life-threatening danger if left behind."
"The Afghan men and women who risked everything to assist American forces during the war deserve to know that the United States will honor the promises made to them and their families," Representative Kinzinger said. "This is more than just the right thing to do, it is necessary to show that we as a nation can be taken at our word both now and in the future. It is naïve to think the United States will never be in another conflict and holding up our end of the bargain today could very well save American lives down the road."
The Afghan Allies Protection Extension Act is supported by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), and the Truman National Security Project among others, who were in attendance at a press conference on Capitol Hill today.

2019 Top Ten List #5 Amazing Grace
AMAZING GRACE A
USA (87 mi) 2018 d: Sydney Pollack and Alan Eliot
We forget, sometimes, that we are in the presence of greatness, and Aretha Franklin was a once in a generation singer whose influence could not be harnessed or diminished. Though she was the first female performer to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 2010 Rolling Stone magazine ranked her number one on their list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" ("100 Greatest Singers: Aretha Franklin"), with her 1967 album, Aretha Franklin, 'I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You' on Atlantic voted the greatest female album of all time, Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time – Rolling Stone. That album made her a superstar, but perhaps more significantly was the influence of one particular song on the album, Aretha Franklin - Respect [1967] (Original Version) - YouTube (2:30), which resonates with the power of her own personality, becoming synonymous with the spirit of the changing times, as she devoted an enormous part of her life working for the social change advocated by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with this song playing on the radio all day long. Franklin sang at the 1968 funeral for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and at the Democratic National Convention that same year, sang at the funeral services for Civil Rights pioneer Rosa Parks, performed at three Presidential inaugurations, Jimmy Carter in 1977, Bill Clinton in 1993, and Barack Obama in 2009, while also receiving a Presidential Medal of Freedom award from former President George W. Bush in November 2005. However, she rejected requests to sing at a fourth, claiming "no amount of money" could convince her to perform at the Trump inauguration, though Trump claimed Franklin "worked for me on numerous occasions" and implied a sort of friendship between the two, though it's clear Franklin, a staple in the Civil Rights movement, "despised" everything Trump stood for, including his inflammatory rhetoric and demeaning policy proposals. This film actually goes back to 1972, following a string of 11 consecutive No. 1 songs, having graced the cover of Time magazine, crowned Queen of Soul, yet despite the superlatives, there were those that criticized her for "leaving the church," though anyone listening to her music was inundated by clear gospel roots, even in secular music, which is perhaps what set her apart from all the rest, as she sings with such a spiritual grace. As if answering those critics, this film was going to be Aretha's return to traditional gospel, recorded live inside the humble and unpretentious setting of the Los Angeles' New Temple Missionary Baptist Church that used to be a movie studio, located in the neighborhood where the Watts riots occurred, probably holding no more than 200 people, populated by church goers and avid fans, filmed by a white film crew from Warner Brothers led by Sydney Pollack, whose only claim to fame at that time was a Depression-era danceathon with Jane Fonda and Gig Young entitled THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? (1969), winning the aging Young a best supporting actor award and the director a best director nomination. As it turns out, Pollack made the rookie mistake of forgetting to use a clapper board for sound, so the audio was not in sync with the 20 hours of collected footage, something he could not easily fix, with the project eventually scrapped by the studios in 1972, languishing on the shelf for years, as the film was never completed. You can imagine the heartbreak and disappointment this must have caused her, led to believe this was her coming out party on film, like a black WOODSTOCK (1970), a gospel celebration of love and peace, and then no film materializes, where everything that she was promised dies right along with it. The record album, however, released that same year, was a remarkable achievement and went on to become the largest selling gospel album in history. Shortly after Pollack died in 2008, music producer Alan Elliot mortgaged his home and was able to procure the rights to the film, using digital technology to re-sync the film, where it was ready to be released by 2015 until legal constraints by Franklin mysteriously put a stop to that, never able to work out the details of adequate compensation. It was only after her death in 2018, with the consent of her family, that this film could finally see the light of day, where we can rediscover a 29-year old Aretha at the supreme height of her powers.
Few films take us into the heart of the black church as well as this one, where if it's possible for a film to touch your soul, this is it, ironically filmed over two days by an all-white crew, using five 16mm cameras, yet the performers are exclusively black, exhibiting a flair for the moment that really can't be described as much as "experienced." Say what you will, but the stark contrast between what happens here and what we historically see in churches throughout film history, like Bresson's Diary of a Country Priest (Journal d'un curé de campagne) (1951), Dreyer's ORDET (1955), Buñuel's NAZARIN (1959), Bergman's Winter Light (Nattvardsgästerna) (1963), or Reygadas' SILENT LIGHT (2007), couldn't be more radically different, where you wonder if they're all praying to the same God, with one culture visibly moved and jubilant, raising their hands, spontaneously jumping to their feet as they are literally moved by the spirit, with the entire building immersed in wall-to-wall sound, while the other feels austere and distant, where you can hear a pin drop inside the church. All are devout Christians with a deep history of scripture and hymns, yet this religious tribute, unseen for over half a century, couldn't be more inspiring. As a performer, Aretha, along with Ray Charles, helped bring the black church to the radio, both black and white, where her voice swells with raised emotions, providing that promised resilience of the soul needed for the long and difficult days ahead. Introducing her is Rev. James Cleveland, who collaborates with Aretha and serves as master of ceremony, playing piano, introducing each new hymn, featuring the dynamic Southern California Community Choir conducted by their animated choirmaster Alexander Hamilton, one of the unsung stars of the show. Occasionally Hamilton and Cleveland would briefly switch places, with Aretha mostly singing at the podium, at times accompanying herself on the piano as well. Originally scheduled to be released alongside SUPER FLY (1972) in the heart of the Blaxploitation era of cinema, the fashion is distinctly different, coinciding with the Black is Beautiful movement, with large afros, ostentatious hats, and sunglasses worn indoors, with Aretha herself decked out in immaculate attire, first dressed all in white, then in mixed aqua and green, though nothing outrageous that suggests a diva (though seen in a floor-length fur overcoat when she arrives), wearing a modest afro, barely uttering a word, allowing her voice to do all the talking. There is applause after each number, with each song arousing plenty of back and forth interaction with the audience, with the camera finding individuals of interest, including Mick Jagger and Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones who are initially seen clapping near the back before later moved closer to the front. While they'd seen Aretha many times in performance, this is the first time seeing her in church. There are two invited guests who are openly acknowledged, gospel legend Clara Ward (Aretha would sing at her funeral just 7 months later), who actually spent time in the Franklin home mentoring a young Aretha, as she toured with her father (with whom she had a longtime romance), while also introducing her father, Rev. C.L. Franklin, an infamous Detroit-based preacher who was a legend and a star even before she became one herself, known as the man with the "million dollar voice" for his radio sermons (supposedly earning $4000 an appearance in 1956 when Elvis Presley was earning $7500), some of which are in the Library of Congress, early on taking Aretha on the road with him. Known as one of the country's most powerful black pastors, adamantly respectful of him, she loves hearing the praises of her father, who provides heartfelt remarks acknowledging his daughter's gift at an early age, describing her as a "stone cold singer" who would infuse the black church into any song she performed.
One might be surprised by the generic look of this film, which is nothing remarkable, using no tricks of the trade, no interviews, no backstage moments, no signature shots, with photographers constantly swirling about, where most cameras remain in fixed positions, yet what they capture is nothing less than magnificent, raw and unfiltered, holding steady in close-up on Aretha's face, where beads of sweat drip down her face and accumulate non-stop (as it happens, Aretha loves to keep the temperature high in her performances), with her father affectionately wiping his daughter's brow in such a dignified manner while she performs at the piano before returning back to his seat, a simple gesture that must have been repeated over and over again from the early days when she had to stand on a chair just to be seen over the podium. But in this church, with this audience, it seems unusual that she's never performing for the cameras, deadly focused on her task at hand, with viewers ever so fortunate to see such a rare artist at work, literally transfixed on the material, calmly enunciating every syllable, drawing out the dramatic tension in every turn of the phrase, with parishioners unable to contain themselves, spontaneously moving to her rhythms and inflections, with her singing holding a transfixing spell over the entire proceedings, with tears of joy streaming down people's faces. You might not be expecting a Carole King song in church, certainly not in most churches, but when Aretha arranges "You've Got a Friend" mixed with "Precious Lord," well, it's a different kind of conversation, with a unique friend, but one that glorifies the name of God. Whether you're a believer or not, it's hard not to believe Aretha, as there's not a hint of insincerity anywhere, and that is the true power of her electrifying artistry. Accompanied by her own musicians, organist Kenneth Lupper, electric guitarist Cornell Dupree, Chuck Rainey on bass, Bernard Purdie on drums, with Pancho Morales on congas, no single instrument ever overpowers the sound of her own voice, much of which is contained and controlled in low registers before unleashing into the heavens with an unexpected onslaught of emotion that just releases all pent-up inhibitions, with dancing in the aisles and bodies gyrating all throughout the room. Pouring her heart out into the titular song, the same heightened moments are as dramatically appealing as on the album, with this song perhaps the centerpiece of the film, with Rev. Cleveland forced to take a private moment, literally overcome with emotion, while an elderly woman in front appears to faint (turning out to be Clara Ward's mother), as her rendition is so mesmerizing and authentic, where even her humming the tune is just as eloquent as her soaring voice, deeply somber, unfazed by it all, where it's just a conversation between a singer and her Lord, one they've apparently had a thousand times, yet this one is caught on film, preserved as a time capsule, an historic rendering of a singing prayer, an anthem of the times that is no less powerful today, as it speaks to the social injustice inherent in just being black, with all their struggles, the deaths, the grief and enduring despair, always having to overcome, yet she taps into the hopes and aspirations. While you'd think there's no way they can top that, toward the end of the film they try, recalling "Never Grow Old," an old favorite (the first song she ever recorded), but Aretha makes it her own, like rediscovering the fountain of youth, where the dream of heavenly eternity may have never been expressed with more eloquence and unbridled joy. With bodies swaying back and forth, she has the audience's raptured attention, as they can't take their eyes off that combustible energy that is her voice, finally winding down, with Aretha sitting down, with viewers thinking the song is over, but Rev. Cleveland hands her an outstretched microphone where she continues to sing while seated, capturing the essence of spiritual transcendence as it's meant to be humanly experienced. It's simply a phenomenal extension of her ability to retain focus, never veering for an instant, as she literally holds the entire congregation there, as if cradled in the arms of the Lord, so safe, so satisfying, such a beautiful rendering of eternal harmony and peace. For most viewers, the exuberance in the room will be hard to shake afterwards, as it's like the living embodiment of a James Baldwin novel, or the experience of reading him for the very first time, as a brand new world opens, with new textures, complexities and insights. There was only one Aretha.

Sept. 6, 2018 ( Courtesy of CBC.ca ) – St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, N.S., is suing the former finance director of the school's Coady International Institute, accusing him of misappropriating at least $243,000.
The statement of claim filed in Nova Scotia Supreme Court alleges James Edward Marlow created fake invoices from suppliers, requisitioned cheques from the university for those invoices, then deposited the cheques into his personal account.
Marlow's actions constitute misappropriation of funds, theft and fraud, the university alleges in its claim, which was filed with the court in Pictou, N.S., on Aug. 28.
The Coady Institute is a signature part of St. FX and is well known for training professionals from around the world in the field of international development.
While there is a "significant ongoing investigation" to determine the extent of the alleged misappropriation, the university is claiming damages of at least $243,000.
The RCMP and St. FX confirmed last month that police have launched a fraud investigation.
The university began investigating in July, when the school's auditor informed staff a vendor had received payment for an invoice it hadn't issued.
The school's vice-president of finance and administration, Andrew Beckett, stated in his affidavit that the fake invoices said "hold for pickup" so the cheques wouldn't be mailed to the vendors. Then, Marlow would either pick them up or have a staff member deliver them to him.
According to Beckett's affidavit, he interviewed Marlow on July 17 and told him of the results of his preliminary investigation.
"Mr. Marlow's response was to the effect of 'you know everything now,'" reads the affidavit, adding that Marlow did not deny that he created phoney invoices or deposited the cheques into his account.
The university called in the accounting firm Deloitte to investigate on July 19, the same day Marlow was fired.
A manager from Deloitte notes in her affidavit it found 32 suspicious invoices totalling $264,098 purporting to be from three vendors. While the invoices had the template, numbering and logo of the vendors, they didn't look exactly like those on legitimate invoices issued by those companies.
Beckett's affidavit notes that of the $264,098 worth of cheques, $229,023 was allegedly deposited into Marlow's personal account, $20,125 was not cashed and $14,950 requires further investigation.
The university has obtained an attachment order — a way of preserving Marlow's assets in case a judgment is awarded to the university in the future — for $229,023 against his property in Lower South River, near Antigonish.
None of the allegations have been tested in court. Marlow has not yet filed a defence.

Higher Education Alert: NLRB Trend in Easing Unionization Continues with Recent Decision
By Edward Brill and Andrew Rice on January 9, 2015 Posted in Bargaining units, NLRA, NLRB, Representation Elections
The National Labor Relations Board issued a 3-2 decision last month in Pacific Lutheran University, 361 NLRB No. 157, in which it significantly modified the standards for determining: (1) whether college or university faculty members are managerial employees and thus not protected by the National Labor Relations Act; and (2) when the Board should decline to exercise jurisdiction over a college or university that claims to be a religious institution. (Proskauer had submitted an amicus brief in the case in support of various organizations representing colleges and universities on the first issue.) (For a fuller discussion of the Board's decision, please see Proskauer's Client Alert.)
On each issue, the majority's decision seemingly eases the path for unions seeking to represent faculty members at institutions of higher education:
First, the majority put a new gloss on the Supreme Court's seminal decision concerning NLRA coverage of faculty members, NLRB v. Yeshiva University. (Proskauer represented Yeshiva University in that case, which the high court decided in 1980.) The Board will now find that faculty members are managerial employees only where their recommendations are "almost always" followed by administrators. In addition, the majority's new test identified three "primary" areas of decision making that it will accord the greatest weight, but in doing so combined in one such primary area ("academic programs") several academic decisions that the Board has traditionally given greater weight in dozens of decisions over several decades, and elevated two other areas of decision making (enrollment management and finances) that have never held such significance. And critically, the majority essentially avoided the D.C. Circuit's mandate in LeMoyne-Owen College v. NLRB and Point Park University v. NLRB to explain "which facts are significant and which less so, and why." As dissenting Member Johnson wrote:
[T]he majority has decided to create a comprehensive test here, and, therefore, the actual weighting of its factors, including what showing is sufficient to meet the majority's test, is a rather large analytical question to be left unresolved, particularly if the hope is to provide predictability and guidance with regard to how the Board will make these determinations in the future.
Second, the majority abandoned the "substantial religious character" requirement that it had previously applied in determining whether to assert jurisdiction over religiously-affiliated colleges and universities, but declined to adopt the D.C. Circuit's three-part test in University of Great Falls v. NLRB that sought to avoid the risk of infringement upon First Amendment rights as addressed in the Supreme Court's decision in NLRB v. Catholic Bishop of Chicago. Instead, the Board will now require a college or university to show "that it holds out the petitioned-for faculty member's [sic] as performing a specific role in creating or maintaining the school's religious educational environment," a requirement that the dissenting Board members argued does no better in mitigating the constitutional risk created by the Board's assertion of jurisdiction.
The Pacific Lutheran decision closely followed the Board's announcement of new rules that will speed up representation elections and, combined with the Board's decision in Specialty Healthcare, which liberalized the standard for finding a petitioned-for bargaining unit to be appropriate, epitomizes a trend favoring unions in representation proceedings. But given the strongly worded dissenting opinions and the majority's failure to adequately address the D.C. Circuit's concerns on either issue, we expect that Pacific Lutheran will not be the final word for the higher education community.
