SLINEX-20
#GS3 #Defence #Exrcises
The Eighth Edition of annual Indian Navy (IN) – Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) bilateral maritime exercise SLINEX-20 is scheduled off Trincomalee, Sri Lanka from 19 to 21 October 2020.
The Sri Lanka Navy will be represented by SLN Ships Sayura (Offshore Patrol Vessel) and Gajabahu(Training Ship) led by Rear Admiral Bandara Jayathilaka, the Flag Officer Commanding Naval Fleet, Sri Lanka Navy.
Indigenously built ASW corvettesKamorta and Kiltanunder the command of Rear Admiral Sanjay Vatsayan, Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Fleet, will represent the Indian Navy.
In addition, Indian Navy Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) and Chetak helicopter embarked onboard IN ships, and Dornier Maritime Patrol Aircraft will also be participating. The previous edition of SLINEX was conducted off Visakhapatnam in September 2019.
SLINEX-20 aims to enhance inter-operability, improve mutual understanding, and exchange best practices and procedures for multi-faceted maritime operations between both navies.
In addition, the exercise will also showcase the capabilities of our indigenously constructed naval ships and aircraft.
Surface and anti-air exercises including weapon firing, seamanship evolutions, maneuvers, and cross deck flying operations are planned during the exercise, which will further enhance the high degree of inter-operability already established between the two friendly navies.
SLINEX series of exercise exemplifies the deep engagement between India and Sri Lanka which has strengthened mutual cooperation in the maritime domain. Interaction between the SLN and IN has also grown significantly in recent years, in consonance with India's policy of 'Neighbourhood First' and Hon'ble PM's vision of 'Security and Growth for all in the Region (SAGAR)'.
Synergy developed during SLINEX exercises resulted in seamless coordination of joint SLN – IN efforts in September 2020 to render assistance to MT New Diamond, a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), which had caught fire off the East Coast of Sri Lanka.
The exercise is being conducted in a non-contact 'at-sea-only' format in the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic.
India- Sri Lanka Military cooperation's
India- Sri Lanka military cooperation has a long history. Military-to-military cooperation in recent years has strengthened in recent years. India and Sri Lanka conduct joint Military called 'Mitra Shakti' and Naval exercise called SLINEX regularly to share the best practices. India also provides defense training to Sri Lankan forces frequently. Both the countries had signed a trilateral maritime security cooperation agreement, which also includes the Maldives, in order to improve surveillance, anti-piracy operations and to reduce maritime pollution in the Indian Ocean Region.
Mitra Shakti
This is a joint military training exercise between India and Sri Lanka which is held regularly to counter insurgency and terrorism operations as per the United Nations mandate. The 7th edition of the exercise was held in 2019.

In the U.S. our system is formulated by various means to construct tweleve fair and unbiased jurors. Whom acording to our text, hypothetically decide cases based on "burden of proof and reasonable doubt." These individuals listen and take into account the evidence and testimoneys of witnesses appointed by both the prosecution and defense through the duration of the trial. Though many make a preliminary decision based on the opening statements. Once trial has commenced the jury is dissmissed to the deliberation room. Where disscussion about the elements of the case and the defendents specific actions begin, but jurors usually vote as soon as they retire to jury room and the orginal vote wins the majority of the time. Allowing their own knowledge, experiences, morals, and values to dictate their decisions.

For the best waxing results hair should be 1/4″ in length.
If the area is too tricky to trim yourself we can do this for you. Not to worry we get that not everyone does yoga!!
You can purchase a topical freezing cream called EMLA without a prescription (over the counter at local pharmacies) that will numb the area and will greatly minimize any discomfort. This must be applied approximately 1 hour prior to waxing.
If you are new to waxing or waxing before an event or vacation, come in for a free "test" patch to see how your skin reacts.
RELAX you're in good hands!
After your wax we will apply a product(s) that is best suited for your skin's needs. We choose your post wax care product based on the area and your specific concerns (i.e.: ingrowns, redness etc).
Do not expose the area to direct sunlight for 12-24 hours.
Avoid hot tubs or hot baths for the first 24 hours.
Avoid tight fitting clothing for the first few days.
Make sure to start exfoliating the area 5-7 days after waxing.
Using Tend Skin regularly will help maintain smooth, soft, bump free skin.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns that need be specifically addressed.
Keep your waxing to a regular schedule and you will notice how much faster and easier this process gets.


Last Monday was the ninth anniversary of The Best Day of My Life So Far, which means we're just 361 days away from the big one-oh! A whole decade's worth of writing came from the Philadelphia Senior Center, along with several six-week programs in five states, several lectures, and our own book. To celebrate our years of progress, I thought we could look back at some of our finest moments.
And you know I wouldn't leave you without a brand new story.
The story of my car continues, last week I was talking about seeing the car at the body shop, waiting for the adjuster from my insurance agency. The damage was on the rear of the driver side. The back panel, wheel and bumper were the only thing I could see that was damaged. I wanted to see when I would get a call that my car would be fixed and I again would be in the driver seat, as faith would have it. The adjuster said the damage was more serious than my eyes could see. Hence, they were going to not fix the car (totaled). I was not pleased with the fact that they were not going to operate on my visual observation.
I decided that I was not going to buy another car. I had planned to send my car to California before the accident, now I will use public transportation , Lyft, and then maybe a little more planning when I want to go out of the city or other places that I had used my car. A nine year old car with 24,000 miles attests to the fact that I had not driven the car very much.
The good news, I no longer have to find a parking place near my home, no insurance and gas payments. So you give a little and sometimes you in a little. I have to wait a while to see if I miss having my own transportation.

Discussion in 'V7/V85/V9 Chat & Tech' started by GT-Rx®, Nov 7, 2017.
Looks like the Carbon Shine might be one of them. I like! Much better than the Carbon imho. From the handbuilt show in Austin last week. Nice black leather seat! Very cool.

My good friend Claudio (Longwalk.it - facebook.com/GiovenzanaClaudio) is in town from south south America, having left his bike in Patagonia for now as the weather has gotten too cold.
He translated a printed article today on the V85 from Motociclismo.
Big question that it answered (and I had guessed) was that they have basically lightened the reciprocating internals (rods & pistons) and went to larger titanium valves (2V per cylinder still), along with a new larger 52mm single throttle body (V7/V9 is 38mm) giving 78 HP @8400RPM and max torque (59 ft lbs) @3400 RPM (and holds steady they say.) The oiling circuit has been revised with a new twin rotor push/pull oil pump to help with scavenging from the crank. The motor will remain air-cooled through Euro-5.
I look forward to adding one to the RideMalibu/RentAGuzzi fleet.

This would be a great results, since for now motorcycle should be "only" Euro 4 compliant. Euro 5 constrains are an headache for every engineer.
BTW, an italian magazine has published some secret photos of the new engine. I will try to scan them and post here when I will have a copy of the magazine in my hands.

Yes, I have uploaded the article above. If your photos are different from above, I would love to see them.
Last time I did see the photos. Yes, it that article.
I still haven't read it, a huge thanks!
First time I was a little bit confused, but now I have to admit that this "Legnano green" color it's quite nice.
I have to declare here my appreciations for Guzzi: stop with colors for old men! This new ones are trendy and very original. No one other manufacturer would dare to propose that. New fresh air in the motorcycle world.
Did you notice the radial brakes at the front (whereas the costly BMW F850GS mount traditional ones)? This bike is really going to stop in a matter of few meters!
Conanidol, Poppe, Godfrey and 1 other person like this.
Wow that color looks nice. This is going to be a hard one if they come out with some sweet colors.
Love the idea of a "smaller" Stelvio and would certainly consider owning a V85. Only problem is that I prefer more subdued / traditional colors and at the risk of offending some, find the V85 color schemes a visual affront. Hopefully a black or silver framed model with a more primary color(s) will be made available when Guzzi finally gets around to actually shipping these to the US.
Also remember that Guzzi has always been a bit, um, optimistic when quoting HP numbers. I will be pleasantly surprised if this bike makes over 60 HP at the rear wheel as a stock V9 makes all of 50.
It's not my kind of bike, but I'm delighted to hear of the engine development work.
Sounds like solid, traditional performance development to me ... the kind of stuff that engine tuners have been developing on traditional two-valve engines for a century! It is certainly a joy to see the small-block Guzzi engines moving in this direction. The small-block history was all about minimizing cost to provide a low end machine, but the hemi heads on the V9/V7III and all the new bottom end work show that there's a good bit more future in this engine line.
Put this engine into a more LeMans-ish road bike (like that illustration somewhere up thread) with these brakes and modern suspension, and Guzzi may well get another big lump of my money...!
TimmyTheHog, Poppe, roadscum and 1 other person like this.
I don't know about other Guzzis but my Stelvio has 105HP at the main shaft as declared and as tested from many Motorcycle magazines.
For the power at the wheel (more easy to test at a common engine-bench) you have to calculate around 10% less for chain-driven final trasmission and around 12-14% less for cardan-trasmission.
"Powering the bike is a new 850cc V-Twin engine that will be the base for future Moto Guzzi motorcycles. This engine produces 80bhp which is a considerable increase over the power output of V9 Bobber and V9 Roamer sold here. The V9's 853cc V-twin engine produces only 55bhp. "
Wow, is Guzzi actually listening? could you imagine 80 bhp V7?

If you're one of those who liked the concept, you'll be happy to learn that Piaggio has filed a design patent for what looks to be the final production model, and it does not stray too far from the original concept.
Lodged May 1 in Australia, the design patent looks a lot like the concept but has some changes including a different exhaust and front brake master cylinder that look more realistic for a mass-produced vehicle.
Here's a look at the right side of the concept and the patent filing.
While keeping the concept's general aesthetic, there are some drastic changes. The fuel tank has a different shape and looks smaller than the one on the concept. The rear of the tank has a noticeably gentler slope up to the filler cap. The seat was changed accordingly to match the new slope angle, and looks quite a bit thinner than the saddle used on the concept. The side panel below the seat also has a different design, losing the concept's slits for a more sculpted, geometric design.
The rear shock remains offset to the right side, connecting the swingarm to the frame, but there is now a cover over top mounting point. The rear brake caliper was also repositioned, now located under the swingarm instead of above.
The exhaust design looks more production ready, but still keeping the rising angle on the left side of the tail. The concept had a cylindrical see-through master cylinder while the patent illustrations shows a more typical black rectangular design.
The blocky tires, bash plate, hand guards, front fender, tall windscreen and headlights all look similar to the concept. The design patent does add a center stand.
Piaggio hasn't filed any new trademarks that suggest a potential name for this new adventure-tourer, so it's possible it will retain the Stelvio name and be called the Moto Guzzi V85 Stelvio. Expect to see the final production version at this fall's big motorcycle shows, more likely at EICMA in November than the Intermot show in October. The latest information will be on Motorcycle.com as it becomes available.
Thanks for the great write-up. Good catches on all of them.
What is the benefit (or requirement?) of having a cover over the top mounting point of the rear shock?
Also, maybe it was covered, but is this a completely new frame?
Keeps goop off the shock I suppose.
tobinh Tuned and Synch'ed GT Site Contributor!
looks great. my name entry was 'scirocco', guess that's not going to make it.
Thanks Todd for the write up +1!
The front windshield looks taller to me and more upward compare to the concept...we will see how that affects the buffering.
I'm hoping for a 200 mile plus fuel capacity.
My entry was Stelvio.... Hmmm, now what??
Ya, I'm buying one the moment it arrives.

A Chinese gadget blog has turned up photos of what might be the next Asus eeePad Transformer, the TF300T. The first eeePad was the TF101, and the Transformer Prime is the TF201, so this new model number is probably legit.
No details have been leaked on the specs or release date, but this does appear to be another 10" tablet with a pair of cameras. The manufacturer was listed as Wistron, a Taiwan company who is subcontractor for lot of the major brands (think Foxconn, only without the scandal).
There's speculation that this tablet might be revealed at MWC, which is coming up in few weeks. But I don't see that happening; there's already a new Transformer in the works and this isn't it. Most likely this is the 3rd generation device, and that means we might not see it until the fall.
Some corrections: The model number of the first transformer was TF101, Transformer Prime is TF201, and the next model coming out is TF700T.
I have yet to see a TF201 in the wild or in stores.
It appears they are more interested in making the Tablets than selling them.
Acers A500 was gone before you could blink and Asus TF201 has yet to surface in any stores in CA.
Considering this behavior I was very surprised to see the percentage of the market these 2 companies are holding. Imagine what they could do if they actually wanted to be in the Tablet business!

Globe board approves cash dividend for shareholders
by Infochat February 11, 2015
The board of Globe Telecom has approved the distribution of a cash dividend of P20.75 per common share following the company's record-breaking financial performance in 2014. The dividend is payable to shareholders on record as of February 18, while payment date has been set on March 4.
On an annualized basis, this represents an 11% improvement from the last quarterly dividends of P18.75 per common share. The company's dividend yield remains competitive when compared against those of government securities and other listed companies on the local bourse, Globe Chief Finance Officer Alberto de Larrazabal said. He emphasized the telecommunications provider's commitment to maintain its dividend payout policy of 75% to 90% of prior year's core net profit in line with its commitment to a sustainable and competitive dividend distribution policy.
Globe Telecom booked in 2014 a core net profit growth of 25% to a record level of P14.5 billion, driven by the solid performance of its business segments amid sustained demand for data connectivity across the mobile, broadband and fixed line data businesses. Consolidated service revenues reached a new high of P99.0 billion, besting the previous mark of P90.5 billion in 2013.
Last year, Globe received a citation from Finance Asia, a leading financial publication in the region, for its commitment to a strong dividend policy. This was based on a poll conducted among investors and analysts across the region to determine Asia's top companies. Globe was also cited as one of the top companies in Asia by institutional investment publication Alpha Southeast Asia, where the telco was specifically recognized for having the most consistent dividend policy.

EFFECTS OF G20 DRIVE TO AUSTERITY
by Jane D'Arista July 28, 2010 September 23, 2020
Jane D'Arista: This crisis has brought forth the notion of class warfare, the haves vs. the have-nots
PAUL JAY, SENIOR EDITOR, TRNN: Welcome to The Real News Network. I'm Paul Jay. In recent weeks, since the G-20 made its declaration that all the G-20 countries would halve their deficits by 2013, there's been increasing calls for austerity measures. The head of the European Bank made a speech recently where he said the issue of austerity and pulling in and tightening and getting rid of state debts were the biggest issue facing the world economy. We see in places like Ontario, Canada, there's an attempt to have a wage freeze for all civil servants, and in the United States there's been a lot of talk about reforming Social Security, or perhaps raising the age that people are eligible, perhaps lowering the amount of benefits. Globally, a whole question's being raised: who's going to pay for all the stimulus? Now joining us to talk about the austerity game is Jane D'Arista. She joins us from Hadlyme, Connecticut. She's a member of the group SAFER, a group of economists that lobby for finance reform, and an associate at the PERI institute. Thanks for joining us, Jane.
JANE D'ARISTA, RESEARCH ASSOCIATE, PERI: It's my pleasure to be with you.
JAY: So Rob Johnson said in an interview recently with us, talking about the G-20 countries, he said they're doves on finance reform and hawks on austerity. What do you think of this issue of this drive to pay off state debt?
D'ARISTA: Well, I think, of course, it's ridiculous. You don't do this when the economy is heading down. And we are heading down. I think everybody begins to understand that now. I think, you know, that a friend of mine, another analyst, part of the SAFER group, Rob Parenteau, calls it the march to "Austeria". And it is the picking up of non-Keynesian ideas from Austria, if you will, and this belief system which really is very congenial to certain segments and certain countries. We're talking about Germany, of course. And the idea here is, you know, you're not going to climb out. You're just forcing a downward move if you cut, if the government cuts the spending. The Keynesian idea, the great insight of Keynes, was you get to where we are, and people will not make goods 'cause they don't think they can sell them, and that's what we're seeing. All these corporate profits are coming in because they are cutting costs.
JAY: The argument given by the head of the European Bank was that the reason this financial apocalypse was avoided—and assuming it really was avoided, but he says it was—was that people had a trust that when the various governments infused capital into the banking system, there was enough credibility in the ability of these governments to do that. People believe that that paper currency or digital currency transfer actually had some real meaning, and people bought into the fact that if—I guess, essentially what he's saying, that these states could back up whatever debt they incurred through the stimulus, and that if the states don't rein in the amount of debt to GDP ratio, that they're going to lose that credibility, and next time there's a big crisis, people won't believe it, that it means anything, when states say they're going to put a trillion dollars into the banking system or a trillion euros or whatever. What do you make of that argument?
D'ARISTA: Well, I think, you know, in the case of the United States what we know is that the tax cuts in the Bush years had already driven up the deficit. We didn't have a really big cushion there to move on. The TARP absorbed a lot of that cushion that we had, and the stimulus program was much too small. It did some things, and it did what it needed to be done. But a real program was not undertaken. So now we're in a situation, having really spent over $2 trillion bailing out the banking system, where it appears to most people that we don't have any more to spend. We didn't spend it on the right things. We should have let the banking system wind down and let the public sector take on more of the credit responsibility, as was done in the Depression with the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. That would have been a very good move. Right now what we need is a governmental program globally to create jobs and create, therefore, the wages that are needed for spending that then will restart the business sector and give us a virtuous cycle instead of the vicious cycle that we're now in. There is no way to stop the vicious cycle if you are going to cut the government out of the process and rely on the private sector to do it. It will not happen. So double dip recession, yes, and indeed a global depression, I think, will be the outcome of this.
JAY: Jane, unpack for us how you understand the thinking of the people that are promoting these austerity regimes. What is it they're really worried about?
D'ARISTA: Well, they're worried about inflation. And, you know, there are two sides of this coin. There's inflation and there's deflation. Inflation is a worry if you have money. Deflation is a worry if you have debt. The majority of us have debt, whether it's our mortgages or our businesses, small business, or whatever. That's what we have to worry about. The rentiers, the very large people, the people who made all that money and invested it, don't want to see asset prices go down, as inflation would make them go down. So, if you will (and somebody has revived the notion, which I think is true), we're talking class warfare here. We're talking about the haves and the have-nots. The haves are not so many, but boy, they are certainly very, very active in their positions. Now, Germany is a have country. It relies on its exports. It sells to Europe and precludes the ability of the south in Europe in particular to come up with the kind of income that would have prevented this situation from developing. It's not that Spain, Greece, and others have not done things that were unwise, but at the same time, the fact is there's no way for them to get out of it, and they were driven into deficit positions, both in terms of the public and private sector, by the inability to keep the export-import balance that every country needs. Certainly that's true of the United States as well. So we're in a situation there where Germany thinks it's very righteous. Fortunately, China is beginning to make moves in the direction of raising wages, paying their workers more, and understanding that they have to create demand. This is not something the Germans have come to understand. And the German population wants it the same old way. They get to save. They get to export. They stay rich.
JAY: I mean, is the bottom line here the global system is simply broken? Like, if you look at the G-20 document, they have 14 places where they talk about increasing demand, in what they're calling the "advanced deficit" countries, which is essentially North America and European countries which have the big state deficits. At the same time, there's one mention in the whole document about wages, and there's really nothing in it about how wages will go up in Europe and North America, particularly in the United States, where they've been so depressed for so long. On the other hand, they talk about wanting to halve the state deficits by 2013, so 50 percent of current deficits by 2013, which means, as we see (as I said earlier) in Ontario, they want to have a wage freeze. So how are you going to have increased demand and wage freezes? Then over here they're talking about how China should expand wages and expand consumering power, except so much of the Chinese and Indian economy is so much still export-oriented, selling back into precisely Europe and North America, where demand isn't increasing. Like, is the bottom line here that it's just simply broken, they don't have a plan, partly 'cause they just don't want to let go of how much capital is entrenched in so few hands?
D'ARISTA: Well, I think that's true. But as I suggested, you know, I think China's beginning to get it, but it will take a long time before they begin to raise the wages enough to create that kind of demand.
JAY: Yeah, some people have said 20 years.
D'ARISTA: Exactly so. But at least they're beginning to recognize that fact, and I think that is an important fact to recognize. You're not going to get it through—as you are saying yourself, you're not going to get it through manipulating currency values. It's got to be employment and it's got to be wages. There's a tremendous amount of debt in the world, and that debt has to be repaid. And it's not, as they are now focusing, just on the government sector and government debt. I mean, I talk about those hawks on the deficit. Have they looked at household debt? Have they looked at the run-up in corporate debt and small-business debt that took place over the last decade and more? No, and that is—they have no solution to that, just cut the government debt. Well, I'm sorry, but that's only one part of the problem, and it is the problem that that's the part they're cutting which could actually be helpful. If you have a level of debt and shift it to those who can bear it best, that is the government.
JAY: Well, as you said earlier in this interview, it's a class war. Thanks very much for joining us, Jane.

"Fascism, states Jean-Frederic Legare Tremblay, is a kind of spectre that comes back to haunt us in many forms." Fifty years after Adrien Arcand's death, his legacy continues to challenge us. How could such ideas threatening to minorities have flourished in our presumably inclusive society?


The Eastern Cape Provincial Legislature is "too busy" to want to debate the continued illegal appointment of Temba Hani Acting Municipal Manager of Nelson Mandela Bay Metro.
In a statement to the media last week I proposed that I would seek a special debate in the Legislature this week on the matter. In terms of the Rules of Order of the Legislature I requested the Speaker in writing on Monday, 22 July 2012, to consider this matter for debate.
This morning the Chief Whip of the Legislature suggested I pose a motion to the Legislature this afternoon for debate at a later date.
On behalf of the Democratic Alliance I will table a motion in this regard, but as the rules of the Legislature stipulate, a motion can be debated after 10 sitting days. This means it could be weeks before the matter is debated.
By then it is likely that a permanent Municipal Manager would have been appointed in the Nelson Mandela Bay Metro.
1) At a council meeting in March this year the Executive Mayor of the Metro used delegated powers to re-appoint Mr Hani for a third term acting stint, contrary to the provisions of section 54 A (1) (b) which states that a council must appoint such a manager.
2) The resolution stated that Mr Hani's appointment be valid until the 18 July 2012 or the appointment of a permanent Municipal Manager which ever occurred first.
As no permanent appointment has been made in this regard, the 18 July-deadline then applies.
Firstly, any decision made by Mr Hani will have no effect in law due to his current employment status.
Furthermore, the payment of a salary package and perks to Mr Hani will be irregular and fruitless expenditure as technically he should not be in the employ of the Metro since 18 July 2012.
In view of the tardiness by the Speaker not to allow this urgent debate, I will be referring this matter to my DA-colleague in parliament who deals with Local Government, John Steenhuisen, as well as the National Minister.
"Where an MEC for local government fails to take appropriate steps referred to in subsection (8), the Minister may take the steps contemplated in that section".
It is serious and disappointing that the Provincial Legislature fails to note and act swiftly to avoid a managerial crisis in the Mandela Metro.

Possible Biden VP Pick Forced To Explain Remarks Praising Scientology
By Chuck Ross August 1, 2020 at 12:02pm
Rep. Karen Bass, a top contender to be former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate, responded Saturday to a report that she praised the Church of Scientology at a 2010 ceremony, asserting that the group has since been "exposed" for various misdeeds.
"Ten years ago, I attended a new building opening in my district and spoke to what I think all of us believe in — respect for one another's views, to treat all people with respect, and to fight against oppression wherever we find it," Bass said in a statement issued on Twitter.
"I found an area of agreement in their beliefs — where all people, of whatever race, color, or creed are created with equal rights, which is what my remarks were about."
Just so you all know, I proudly worship at First New Christian Fellowship Baptist Church in South LA. pic.twitter.com/1sEpF5KpRF
— Karen Bass (@KarenBassTweets) August 1, 2020
Bass touted the Church of Scientology at the opening of one of the church's buildings in Los Angeles on April 24, 2010.
"This day and this new Church of Scientology is an exciting moment because I know your goal and your commitment is truly to make a difference," Bass said at the event.
"The Church of Scientology I know has made a difference, because your creed is a universal creed and one that speaks to all people everywhere," continued Bass, who served at the time in the California state assembly.
Bass' office declined comment when contacted on Friday by the Daily Caller News Foundation, but a wave of criticism over her remarks seemingly prompted a response on Saturday morning.
Do you think Biden will choose Bass as his running mate?
Yes: 12% (8 Votes)
No: 88% (60 Votes)
Bass asserted that her views on the Church of Scientology have changed in the 10 years since she praised the organization.
She said that "published first-hand accounts in books, interviews and documentaries have exposed this group" since she appeared at the Los Angeles event.
"Everyone is now aware of the allegations against Scientology."
While Scientology has come under increased scrutiny in recent years, the church has long faced allegations that it mistreats its members and operates as a cult.
The New York Times noted in a 2000 story that Scientology has been dogged since its founding in 1954 by allegations that it functions as a "moneymaking cult."
Whoopi Suggests that Biden Might Have Declassified Discovered Documents - There's Just One Problem
The German government proposed in 2007 to ban the Church of Scientology over its "cult-like" activities, the BBC reported at the time.
ABC's "Nightline" ran an exposé on the organization in 2009.
Bass is said to be one of three or four candidates in the running to join the Biden ticket. Prominent California Democrats, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have reportedly urged Biden to choose her as his running mate.
California Sen. Kamala Harris and former national security adviser Susan Rice are also reportedly under consideration to join the ticket.

David Warner Ruled Out From 1st Test, Will Pucovski Doubtful, Australia In Trouble Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Australia suffers a major setback as their star opener David Warner has been ruled out from the series opener. He sustained a groin injury during the second ODI and the southpaw is yet to attain full match fitness. The 34-year-old said he will be back soon but will not be a match fit for the 1st Test scheduled to be played in Adelaide which is going to be a day-night affair. India vs Australia Border-Gavaskar Trophy is one of the much-awaited Test series in international cricket.
Warner was on fire with the bat in the ODI series against Team India. He scored back to back in the fifties in order to make his side win the games against visitors. But while fielding in the 2nd ODI, he sustained a groin injury. Afterward, he was ruled out from the final ODI game and three-match T20I series.
His services were missed by the Australian side as they lost the T20I series to India by 2-1. Earlier, Justin Langer, the Aussie head coach had given hint over the unavailability of David Warner. But, now, it is confirmed that the southpaw will not be available for the Adelaide Test.

David Warner Ruled Out From 1st Test, Will Pucovski Also Doubtful
The 34-year-old said that he has progressed well in the last week. But, he is still due to attain full game fitness. Warner added that he will stay in Sydney and will be working hard on his match fitness. In his opinion, he is in a lot better position than before. But, he wants to feel safe at the back of his mind.
"I feel I have made great progress in a short amount of time and it's best for me to stay here in Sydney to continue working on getting back to full fitness," David Warner said.
"The injury feels a lot better, but I need to be able to satisfy in my own mind and to my team-mates that it is 100 percent ready for Test match conditions.
Australia suffered a big blow as their star opener will not be available for the 1st Test. Meanwhile, young opener Will Pucovski also got hit with the ball on the helmet during 1st practice game. And, there is no update if he sustained the 9th concussion of his career or not. If that happens then Marcus Harris will be tipped to open against Team India in the day-night Test.

Does the crowd mean business? An analysis of rewards-based crowdfunding as a source of finance for start-ups and small businesses

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the extent to which rewards-based crowdfunding really does provide financial support for start-ups and small businesses relative to other types of activity such as creative and cultural projects.
The paper reports findings from a series of multiple regression on a unique data set covering around 205,000 rewards-based crowdfunding projects across a number of leading platforms in the USA, the UK and Canada.
The authors report two main findings. First, rewards-based crowdfunding is highly inequitably distributed and that success is concentrated within a relatively small number of platforms and campaigns. Second, crowdfunding campaigns explicitly related to business perform relatively poorly compared with those in other categories; particularly those in creative areas such as music and dance.
These findings call into question the extent to which rewards-based crowdfunding really is a means by which significant numbers of start-ups can bridge gaps in the provision of finance.

This paper presents an evaluation of three Web based prototypes for bibliographic displays developed as part of an ongoing research project at the Faculty of Information Studies of the University of Toronto. The development of these prototypes builds upon results obtained in earlier phases of the project that addressed issues of both the content and form of bibliographic displays in Public Access Catalogues (Chan 1995; Luk 1996). Anticipation of continued growth in the number of catalogues available through the World Wide Web, combined with evidence (Cherry and Cox 1996) that existing Web based displays have not shown improvement over their text‐based counterparts, motivated the development of these prototypes for use on the Web. The findings from a focus group evaluation of the three prototypes are also reported, and suggestions made for future research.

The purpose of this paper is to examine intrinsic forms of motivation and particular incidents of play, socialisation, fun and amusement on an online crowdsourced citizen science platform. The paper also investigates gamised activity (Greenhill et al., 2014) as a form of intrinsic motivation adding a sense of play to work and tasks (Xu et al., 2012). These concepts are explored through close scrutiny of the online citizen science platform Zooniverse.org.
Qualitative techniques with an interpretivist approach are used to analyse online content found within citizen science platforms, related forums and social media by examining incidents of play, socialisation, fun and amusement to investigate how these aspects are applied as a form of user motivation.
The authors find that when users classify crowdsourced tasks voluntarily it does not matter how users are classifying as long as it is accurately. However, what does matter is why they are doing it particularly because of the complex processes that builds relationships between users and the platform. The authors present a conceptual model to enable deeper understandings of how forms of social interaction and play are motivating users contributing to citizen science project to participate in the online processes.
The findings of this paper provide practical implications for how citizen science, and also other crowdsourcing platforms, can engage with notions of play and gamification to motivate participation.
Using detailed examples of online content, the authors reveal how participants of the Zooniverse.org demonstrate aspects of "gamised" behaviour. The authors argue that the exploration of gaming as well as play provides evidence that contributing to citizen science projects can be both utilitarian and hedonic.

This paper reports the findings of a two‐year EPSRC funded research project into relationship and performance strategies in power regimes. The findings from 12 very different industrial and service sector cases studies demonstrate that there is a correlation between the ability to improve the performance of suppliers and the power circumstances that exist between the buyers and suppliers. Buyers appear to be able to achieve improved performance from suppliers in situations of buyer dominance or interdependence. The research also demonstrates that whatever the objective power circumstance managers often subjectively misperceive the appropriate sourcing choices available to them. As a result business relationships can be aligned, but they are often misaligned. Furthermore, misaligned relationships may be "remediable" but they may not.

EPUB (2.2 MB)
The Bureau of Economics in the Federal Trade Commission has a three-part role in the Agency and the strength of its functions changed over time depending on the preferences and ideology of the FTC's leaders, developments in the field of economics, and the tenor of the times. The over-riding current role is to provide well considered, unbiased economic advice regarding antitrust and consumer protection law enforcement cases to the legal staff and the Commission. The second role, which long ago was primary, is to provide reports on investigations of various industries to the public and public officials. This role was more recently called research or "policy R&D". A third role is to advocate for competition and markets both domestically and internationally. As a practical matter, the provision of economic advice to the FTC and to the legal staff has required that the economists wear "two hats," helping the legal staff investigate cases and provide evidence to support law enforcement cases while also providing advice to the legal bureaus and to the Commission on which cases to pursue (thus providing "a second set of eyes" to evaluate cases). There is sometimes a tension in those functions because building a case is not the same as evaluating a case. Economists and the Bureau of Economics have provided such services to the FTC for over 100 years proving that a sub-organization can survive while playing roles that sometimes conflict. Such a life is not, however, always easy or fun.

To explore the use of video-stimulated reflection during read aloud activities in early childhood to promote self-awareness, reading comprehension, and metacognitive literacy practices.
Methodology/approach
The increasing visibility and accessibility of video recording devices across learning environments is the cause for investigating their potential utility as effective instructional tools. This chapter outlines a pedagogical approach to the implementation of video reflection in early childhood education. Grounded theory is used to build an understanding of how video can support effective emergent literacy and metacognitive strategy instruction.
Video recordings facilitated students' reflection. Common reflective themes include revisiting the recorded event in reflective discussion, elaboration on story elements toward increasing comprehension, and explaining students' own thinking. These findings indicate students' ability to engage in emergent practices fundamental to a disciplinary literacy perspective.
The use of tablets as a video device in early childhood can be utilized to promote reading instruction and metacognition. Video reflection can leverage practices that are necessary for disciplinary literacies.

This paper is concerned with how employees talk about their experiences of organizational change and focuses specifically on the construction of conversion stories. These are particularly positive narratives that consider change as a turning point in which individuals depart from an old way of life pre‐change to embrace a post‐change organization. In this study, employees seek conversion into management groups and report the values and philosophies of management in their narratives, thus highlighting the benefits of change while suppressing any negative aspects. This paper draws attention to the dramatic nature of the conversion story and explores the sharp distinction between the reporting of experiences prior to and after change. We also investigate the relationship between constructing conversion stories and gaining personal and career advancement at work and suggest that beneath the positive exterior of the conversion narratives lies a theme of silence, which may be related to career advancement. Our findings suggest that such stories of silence complicate the conversion story as an example of positive organizational change and discuss implications for both the theory and practice of narrative change research.

By extending their campaign beyond its NIMBY and health risk frames, GSE were able to open up a third frame, which was established from the political opportunity of democratic deficit surrounding the state's response to their campaign. This democratic deficit frame had its inception in the state's initial omission of the health risks of incineration in the CWP. By exploiting this opportunity, GSE were able to establish their own credentials through their provision of interest-led science about the health risks. Another area of democratic deficit exploited by GSE was seen in the state's attempt to rush the CWP through without undergoing the proper public consultation process that was written in to regional waste plans. Furthermore, the state's removal of the councillor's powers to decide the waste issue contributed significantly to a local sense of democratic deficit.

In preparing his 4th graders for an Indiana writing assessment, David Henry (teacher at Sweetser Elementary in Sweetser, IN) shared Kristina Smekens idea of the "Test LadyTM" with his students--that a particular woman who lives in the state capitol scores all their state writing prompts. He took the story further and revealed a photograph he'd found of a sweet little old lady in a Jackie O era dress suit. She had a little hat and cat eye glasses and was smiling ear to ear.
He named her Vestibule McFlannerty. Since introducing her picture and job description, the students had been referring to her frequently for several days. Then, one day a student confessed he had googled "Vestibule McFlannerty" to find out more about her. He said he found her obituary on the Internet. The student was very sad to hear about her death but was even more concerned about who would be grading their ISTEPs!
Struggling to maintain his composure, David assured the student that he would investigate this information during his break. Later that day, David told his students he'd checked it out, and the woman he'd read about was someone different, and that the Test Lady was alive and well, with her grading pen ready!

Seagate Xbox Series X|S Expansion Card + Other Options
There's no denying that the new Xbox Series X and S are fast. The Xbox boots up almost instantly, and the games load just as fast. One factor that plays a huge role in that is the speed of the internal storage. With about 802GB of usable storage on the Xbox Series X after system files and just 364GB on the Series S, though, you might be looking at external storage options since the latest titles keep getting bigger and bigger. The fastest option for expanding storage on the new Xbox is hands down the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X|S, but there are other options if shelling out $220 isn't possible at the time. Be sure to hit the video below to see more details.
Xbox Series X|S Storage
With games like Forza taking up around 100GB and Call of Duty Warzone coming in at 85 (or more), it's easy to fill up the internal storage on the new consoles quickly. For the latest in performance, both the Xbox Series X and S are utilizing NVMe SSD drives. Utilizing a PCIe connection rather than SATA, NVMe SSD drives can deliver speeds up to 25 times faster than SATA drives. Expanding storage on the Xbox One was possible with external drives, but these USB drives don't have nearly the performance of NVMe. And while you can still add more storage with USB drives on the Series X and S, for the fastest performance, there is a better and more expensive option.
Supercharged External
In addition to three USB slots, on the back of the console is a dedicated slot for Storage Expansion. Currently, the only drive available is the Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X|S, which comes in at a hefty $220. But, this "external" storage performs just as fast as the NVMe internal storage, instantly doubling the capacity on the Series X. So, when games are installed and ran from the external card, they'll load and quick-resume just as fast as a title installed on the internal drive.
If $220 is too much for an already $500 console or 1TB isn't enough for your library, there are other options for storage. The Series X and S also support external drives via USB 3.2. Depending on the speed of an external drive, they should benefit from the faster 3.2 transfer speeds, but it won't be near the performance of the official Seagate NVMe external storage.
To test this, I took my WD Black P10 drive, which has most of my games from my Xbox One installed, plugged it in, and instantly, all of the titles I had installed there were available. With 5TB available on this drive, there is a lot more room to hold all of your games.
Seagate Expansion Card for Xbox Series X|S: Video
Or, if you have another external drive lying around that you aren't using anymore, you can also format and use that drive. This way, you can still download games to an external drive, and then, if you want to transfer them from the external to the internal to play, that will most likely be faster than just downloading the game again unless you have some super-fast internet. Bear in mind that any games that are optimized for the new consoles cannot be played from a USB drive and will need to be moved to the internal NVMe storage to be playable.
For some speed examples, transferring the 80.7GB Call of Duty: Warzone from the internal drive to the Seagate Expansion Card took 2 minutes and 27 seconds, while moving the same file from the internal drive to the WD Black external USB drive took about 26 minutes.
If you want the best performance, the choice is clear. The Seagate Storage Expansion Card for Series X|S is going to give the same speed as the internal drive and instantly double capacity. But, there are other options if you need more storage but don't want to drop that much money right after purchasing a new console. As always, keep an eye on 9to5Toys.com to see when these storage options go on sale and make sure you're getting the best deals.

Q: Scraping field using Beautiful soup I am new to web scraping. I m not able to fetch a field(username) from the webpage.
This is the HTML of the web page with the field I am interested in.

YouTube Username

                              GET_THIS_FIELD

Following are the issues which I'm facing:

*

*I am no able to extract the field since there are several objects with the same class, the text option is not working and I have no idea how to find the solution.

*Since thE field YOUTUBE USERNAME is not present in all the pages I am visiting, I need to include a control.
I tried everything, this is just the last attempt.

        profile_content = profile.content
        soup2 = BeautifulSoup(profile_content, features="lxml")
        if soup2.find(text=re.compile('^YouTube Username$')):
          user_channel = soup2.find("dl", {'class': 'pairs pairs--columns pairs--fixedSmall'}).find_next_siblings('dd')
        else:
          user_channel = "none"

Thank you for your help!

A: Asuming the HTML code is correct I could provide this answer:
# data is the HTML code as string
soup = BeautifulSoup(data, 'html.parser')

the_field = soup.find('dt', string='YouTube Username').find_next('dd').text.strip()

print(the_field)

For your own safety you can add tests if the string was found, etc. Hope this helps.

New fictional memoir discusses author's odd experiences with her former husband, his sexual identity issues and his family
BALTIMORE, Jan. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A fictionalized memoir of Christine Holly's life, "Crude Awakening" (published by Archway Publishing) shares the story of a conservative, Eastern Shore woman who marries into a presumed wholesome Christian farming family, only to discover she's surrounded by dysfunction and fetishes.
When the naïve young woman relocates to Oklahoma to begin her life as a dutiful farm wife, she discovers that not all is as wholesome as the little white churches and local county fairs make things seem. In time she finds herself a stranger in a strange land, aligned with a family with strange attitudes and deviant secrets.
"It has elements of fiction, though it is based on actual events. While it's a story of survival, it is also a story of the author's own self-discovery," Holly says, advising readers that "A person should take time to know everything about a person before they marry them — as well as know everything about themselves."
"Crude Awakening" is available for purchase online at the Archway link above, at Barnes & Noble and on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/Crude-Awakening-Christine-Holly/dp/1480895539.

Cornish. It's a way of life that's quite unlike any other. While there are those that say it's a laid back attitude, some say it's simply not taking life too seriously. Others say it's just plain quirky. Beginning Monday, whatever it may be, Kelly's School of Cornish aims to give you a delicious taste of it through ice cream, brilliantly voiced by Dawn French.
The Plymouth-bred TV star of The Vicar of Dibley and Delicious (set in Cornwall) will provide the voice over for the new Kelly's 'School of Cornish' video series of adverts for the Cornish based ice-cream company, Kelly's of Cornwall.
Following the success of the world's first TV advert spoken in Cornish in 2016, Kelly's of Cornwall ice cream has sought out a celebrity fan of the county to help further spread awareness of the treasured language. Enter Dawn French.
Cornish language remains a hot topic, with recent national headlines calling for the UK government to do more to revive it following the governments decision to scrap it's annual £150,000 of funding for the Cornish language.
The videos were captured in the spring sunshine across Cornish locations including Porthtowan, Sennen and Godrevy offering up a range of comical scenarios with the appropriate Cornish word to best describe the situation, from cows blocking the road to the disaster of dropping an ice cream. With support from the Cornish Language Partnership, the end result is confusingly brilliant.
While I don't understand a word of Kernewek, a variety of the revived Cornish language, it doesn't matter. Ice cream transcends all cultural and linguistic boundaries, Kernewek or not.

The Sacrament of Being: An Attempt to Reconcile Cartesian Metaphysics with the Doctrine of Eucharistic Transubstantiation
Doyle M. Baxter, Xavier University - Cincinnati
Conference Level
The Sacrament of Being: An Attempt to Reconcile Cartesian Metaphysics with the Doctrine of Eucharistic Transubstantiation.
In 1988, Steven Nadler claimed that "the question of the real presence proved to be the most serious difficulty for seventeenth-century Cartesianism."[1] With this doctrinal difficulty in mind, it is often hard to gauge whether Descartes himself or other early modern Cartesians were genuinely committed to defending the dogmatic elements of the Catholic faith. Many of them simply adopted an attitude of appeasement toward the Holy Office. Initially, this creates a skeptical reading of Descartes' Eucharistic texts. If he did not genuinely believe, perhaps his arguments are, at best, attempts at appeasement and, at worst, fraudulent. This paper, however, will attempt to give a Cartesian account of transubstantiation, not in order to challenge the Thomistic account, but to enlarge the possibilities for understanding the sacred mysteries. The traditional metaphysical language that surrounds the Eucharist easily creates a barrier for those seeking to understand the doctrine. Perhaps a Cartesian account of the sacrament will lessen that barrier by employing a language that is more accessible in everyday speech, or at the very least create a new forum for discussion. The ultimate hope is that more of the faithful may take part in the critical exploration of the doctrines of the faith. This investigation will examine first the metaphysical implications of the Council of Trent's definition of Eucharist transubstantiation in the Decree Concerning the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist (1551) and then seek to give a Cartesian account of the dogma. This account will engage what Descartes himself said about the Eucharist in a series of letters to Mesland (2 May 1644, 9 Feb 1645, 1645/1646, May 1645), a letter to Clerselier (2 March 1646), an unaddressed letter (circa March 1646), and in his Reply to the Fourth Set of Objections (1641). Finally, this paper will attempt to engage some of Descartes' other correspondence, and the main body of his philosophical works (Discourse on Method (1637), Meditations (1641), Principles of Philosophy (1644), etc.) in order to arrive at a Cartesian account of transubstantiation that does not merely seek to appease the Church, but one that is solid and sincere.

The Fathers Project Imagines A Radical World Where HIV/AIDS Never Happened
Published 2 years ago: January 29, 2019 at 11:30 pm -
Filed to:hivaids
io9leo herreralgbtqpoliticspublic healththe fathers project
While we're now able to look back and see, statistically, how the earliest days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic devastated the North American queer community, it's impossible to quantify the impact that lost generation of lives could have had on the world had they lived.
Leo Herrera's The Fathers Project web series imagines a world in which the HIV/AIDS never happened, and lays out a timeline of events detailing what that would mean for us as a society.
What would the modern day queer rights movement look like, if countless activists and community organisers hadn't been lost to the virus? How would our ideas about sexuality—particularly queer sexuality — be different if we weren't living in the shadow of an epidemic that played a significant role in stigmatizing it? As relatively grounded as the concepts Fathers touches on are, the whole of its vision has a distinctly sci-fi edge to it because of the sheer magnitude of the questions it's asking.
Note: Heads up that Fathers is intended for mature audiences and features a fair amount of nudity.
Fathers' world is realistic, but its depiction of progressive queer colonies and swift, life-changing public health care initiatives make it feel futuristic and almost fantastical.
In 1969, gay rights activist Don Jackson began working on a bold plan to turn Alpine County, California into into a queer haven (commonly referred to as Stonewall Nation), taking over the small town's local government through a careful process of moving hundreds of queer people to the city over a period of time.
Jackson's plan ultimately failed due to a complicated mix of opposition from Alpine's established community and uncertainty from within the queer community itself. But Fathers depicts what life would be like had this sort of plan a) worked, and b) become increasingly common.
Rather than having to deal with HIV/AIDS, Fathers' queer communities have the opportunity to focus on establishing the first generation of queer colonies modelled after Jackson's first Stonewall Nation that become thriving metropolitan hubs. The colonies create the kinds of environments where queer people are able to live freely and their proliferation across the country makes it so that they never feel like gay ghettos. Different though the various Stonewalls neighbourhoods are in their identities, they all work in concert with one another to become a powerful force in American politics.
As utopian as Fathers' colonies are, the series also delves into the realistic elements of society that would need to be in place in order to make them possible. The series doesn't shy away from the realities of queer sexuality; it posits that a world largely free of sex negativity would be one in which sexual public health concerns could be dealt with far more effectively—something that's a betterment for society as a whole.
Wild as it may sound to some, that concept isn't exactly novel in and of itself, but it becomes radical when Fathers juxtaposes it with frank discussions about queer sexuality, because the subtext is that there's nothing inherently wrong or shameful about being gay.

The most radical thing about Fathers is that the things it's asking us to imagine already exist here in the real world, albeit in drastically different ways because of the way history actually played out. Organisations agitating for queer civil rights, legal protections, and representation in politics have won hard-fought battles to make the world a better place, and will continue to do so. Fathers is a reminder of just how much farther along we could be in an ideal world, but its message is an optimistic one about what's yet to come.
The first two episodes of Fathers are currently available to stream on Herrera's website.

This 3,000,000 SF convention and conference center is a design proposal for an invited competition. Located the city of Zhengzhou, the 8th oldest city in China, this new convention and conference center creates a meaningful civic building that establishes new connections within a historically significant city. The project includes 176,000 SM of continuous exhibition space, with 2 levels that provide areas over120 M in length to accommodate a large range of events. The outdoor exhibition hall is located on the 2nd floor to host visitors in a manageable area while also providing a large and flexible exhibition area. The continuous outer ring lobby with the inner ring conference and exhibition functions allows visitors to conveniently and quickly access the building and conference and exhibition halls. Escalators provide quick access to the 2nd floor for additional conference rooms and exhibition halls.
The design rethinks the traditional convention center configuration. A typical convention center is arranged as a linear bar that bifurcates public and private space. On one side the "public front door" –prefunction spaces accessed by the public; on the other side, service and back of house support space. This split arrangement creates a building with an assigned "good side" and a "bad side". By taking this arrangement and bending it back on itself, the design creates a building in which the public access and prefunction space continuously face outwards while the support space is continuously on the back—hidden from view. This configuration produces a great civic building—one which welcomes the public from all sides.
In a typical convention center one must travel a long distance to get from one end to the other. This makes access to all the halls very inconvenient. By wrapping the building around to create one linked building—the travel distances are immediately shortened. This simple move shortens travel distances —making it a convenient, compact, user-friendly facility.
The site's unique conditions provide an opportunity to craft a setting and space for this new civic building. The convention center's design creates anchors within the existing urban context that bridge the adjacent high-speed railway station with downtown.

Following the Toy Fair 2016 Investor Event, Hasbro has sent us the official Press Release announcing their presence at this year's New York Toy Fair.
Unfortunately though, the official Fortress Maximus image they were suppose to send us is misplaced… and replaced with Transformers: Robots On Disguise Power Surge Optimus Prime. For the time being, visit our coverage of the event to check out the new Titans Return toy. We'll check back and will provide you with the Hi-Res image soon.
Update: Fellow Staff Member Mechafire has noticed that the Power Surge Optimus Prime sent with the Press Release is a retool of the Warrior Class Optimus Prime rather than what was shown during the event.
