Report of Stabbing by FOREIGN-LIKE Man in Tsukuba Makes Big News- the discovery that the story was MADE UP, does not 26 April, 2013
An urgent request for help was sent to 119, the Japanese emergency services hotline, on the night of April 9th, 2013. The call was made by the distraught parents of an 18 year old girl who had just called them saying she had been assaulted- stabbed with a knife, near Ninomiya Park in Tsukuba, as she was making her way home from the technical college she attends.
This information was immediately relayed to the appropriate authorities in Tsukuba, and soon an ambulance was at the scene to rush the girl to the hospital ( it turned out that the wound was only 1 cm deep and not life-threatening). The police also arrived in force, and closed off the crime scene.
At the same time, news of the incident spread fast- via the social networks, emails, and phone calls. This was only natural- a crazed criminal was apparently on the loose.
I got the news, as well. My thoughts immediately went out to the girl and her parents, and I was filled with a sense of concern for the safety of the women in the area. I even called some of my friends who had daughters near the age of the victim`s to warn them (if they hadn`t heard already the news).
Soon, however, my mind shifted to another concern- DID I HAVE A SOLID ALIBI?
As the story unfolded, it turned out that when interviewed by police, the girl had told them that she had been attacked by someone who had approached her asking for directions. He was wearing a black jacket and had a black backpack on his back. He then, without warning, according to her story, went at her with a bladed instrument of some sort – and stabbed her.
The reasons I had to fear being listed as a suspect were threefold. First, I usually go about town in black coat and backpack. Second, I was in the Ninomiya part of Tsukuba on that night.
And then to make matters worse for me and many others in Tsukuba was the fact that the young woman had described the man who had attacked her as FOREIGN-LIKE or FOREIGNISH, whatever that may mean ( the actual Japanese word which was released to the press was unique- GAIKOKUJIN FU- 外国人風 – possibly the first time this expression has ever been used).
From reading over all the numerous reports available online again and again I was finally able to come to the understanding that this meant that the young woman had not actually seen the man`s face (he was wearing a mask) – though he did sound to her as if his Japanese were broken or accented.
Anyway, as I have already stated- I needed an ALIBI. I wore the same clothes that the assailant did, I was certainly foreignish- AND I WAS in the same part of Tsukuba in which the incident occurred on that night- any detective doing his job properly would want to take me in for questioning.
But going over the previous night in my head I realized with relief that I DID have an AIR-TIGHT ALIBI- I was teaching a classful of students between 7 and 8:30 pm. The stabbing took place at 7:30. WHEW!
Still, for the next few days, the incident was the talk of the town- and naturally fear spread throughout our peaceful city.
The seemingly countless Japanese language social network messages that I looked at were all quite similar: `Haven`t they caught that foreignish man yet?` and `Stay off the streets at night until that foreign-like man is behind bars`.
It was a little uncomfortable for me moving around Tsukuba, as well. I certainly became self-conscious. You see, I get around mostly on foot. Even in normal times I feel bad when on a secluded bit of pedestrian path I have to pass by a lone woman walking from the other direction. I can certainly understand how they might get nervous in such a situation. I never look straight them in the eye, and also keep far to the side of the path and give a polite bow of the head and a gentle KONNICHI WA (Hello!), as we pass each other.
As you can imagine, after the stabbing incident, you could really feel the anxiety in the women and/or children that I passed as I made my way along Tsukuba`s sidewalks and paths. Schoolgirls ran past me,
Japanese friends and acquaintances seemed to always bring up the subject of the foreignish perpetator in conversation- and I always, in a joking way told them of my SOLID ALIBI ( one person made me a bit paranoid when after I told her I had an alibi she said: ` I KNOW `. as if she had been checking up on me and my schedule!- though she probably just meant: I KNOW YOU DIDN`T DO IT!)
Anyway more than a week passed. The tension on the pathways was still there. And then, on the 18th, nine days after the incident, I brought up the topic of the stabbing with some Japanese friends. One of them- only one out of several, said he had heard that the whole story had just been MADE UP BY THE GIRL!
I got online and did a search. All the original articles and postings came up- GIRL STABBED BY FOREIGN-LIKE MAN WHO IS STILL AT LARGE.
Then among all of them were one or two articles dated April 17th. They explained that the young woman who had reported the stabbing had wounded HERSELF with a knife (in an apparent fit of self-loathing) and could not admit to her parents or the police what she had done- so she made the whole thing up- the foreignish man was a work of fiction!
I was naturally relieved to learn that there was no dangerous criminal on the loose. But what bothered (and still bothers) me is that a week after the girl and the police had announced that the wound was self-inflicted and that the story of the "foreignish man" was a lie – few people knew how the story had actually turned out.
While the news of the attack by a foreignish man had spread like wildfire and had created a sensation- the news of the girls retraction of the story had hardly been noticed.
I was taken aback to hear that even the president of the local PTA at a school whose students and parents had become very sensitive to the threat of a possible madman ( and a mad foreignish man, to boot) walking in our midsts HAD NOT HEARD THAT THE STORY HAD BEEN MADE UP.
In fact, almost no one has heard the truth!
I guess that (as in most other countries) people are just more comfortable with and receptive to the news of foreigners posing a threat (even if this creates fear) than with the fact that a NICE local girl is having emotional problems and is making false accusations. Remember the great E.M. Forster novel Passage to India?
The newspapers do say, however, that the police are considering charging the young woman with filing a false crime report. Still somehow, I doubt that the general public will ever hear much about what comes of this, no matter what happens.

Kentucky State University professor earns prestigious fellowship
Posted on April 20, 2018 in Campus News
Kentucky State University professor Dr. Donavan L. Ramon was recently announced as the recipient of the prestigious Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Career Enhancement Fellowship. Ramon is the first Kentucky State faculty member to earn the fellowship.
Ramon is an assistant professor of liberal studies in the Whitney Young School of Honors at Kentucky State.
"I received the good news with the good news while I was teaching," Ramon said. "I couldn't open it right away and had to contain my excitement. My delayed reaction gave way to enthusiasm and I have been smiling ever since."
The Career Enhancement Fellowship, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provides each recipient with a six-month or one-year sabbatical grant; a research, travel or publication stipend and participation in an annual conference or retreat. The mission of the fellowship is to increase the presence of minority junior faculty members and other faculty members committed to eradicating racial disparities in core fields of the arts and humanities, according to the foundation's website.
Ramon received a one-year fellowship, along with scholars from institutions such as Cornell University, Spelman College and Vanderbilt University.
"During my sabbatical next year, I will edit a journal on Nella Larson's novel Passing and complete the revised draft of my book," Ramon said. "In my book, I apply psychoanalysis to racial passing narratives to understand the motivations behind jumping the color line."
The fellowship is open to Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Programs alumni, minority junior faculty and junior faculty with a demonstrated commitment to eradicating racial disparities breaking down stereotypes and promoting cross-racial understanding in their university communities, according to the foundation's website.
Applicants must also be in their third-year of a tenure-track teaching appointment when applying and in one of the designated fields of study.
"I used to work at the Woodrow Wilson Foundation as a graduate student and I learned about the Career Enhancement Fellowship then," Ramon said. "I knew some of the previous winners, who sang its praises. Through them, I learned that winning it means a pre-paid tenure sabbatical to complete research under the mentorship of a senior scholar."
Ramon is also a contributing writer and editor for Ark Republic.

VDARE Radio: Rule Of Law Edition
Virginia Dare
September 06, 2018, 03:35 PM
Welcome to Radio VDARE and I'm your host Virginia Dare.
Well, President Donald Trump is in some legal trouble. His lawyer, Michael Cohen, has turned on him. How someone's lawyer can turn on him and provide testimony acceptable in legal proceedings is beyond me, but never mind. What's clear is that these charges being thrown against him have nothing to do with so-called "Russian collusion." It's clear the media and the special counsel are just desperate to pin something on the president.
What's so incredible about this is how the same people who are so concerned about the "rule of law" and who call Trump a "dictator" are completely unconcerned about millions of illegal immigrants breaking the law every day. It was only a few weeks ago that we had a media meltdown about "families being separated" simply because immigration laws were being enforced. In many of these cases, the people being "separated," weren't parents from children, but smugglers from victims. No one in the media cared.
If anything, President Trump has been remarkably restrained about using the powers of his office. He's been too restrained in fact, which is why he's running into many of these problems. Indeed, despite being the head of the executive branch, he hardly seems to have any control over the government. And people still keep calling him an "authoritarian."
Michael Anton, who wrote the magnificent essay on "The Flight 93 Election," recently penned another masterpiece with "Will The Real Authoritarian Please Stand Up?" He points out that so many of those who accuse Donald Trump of being a dictator are the ones actually destroying America's tradition of self-government:
The greatest factor in hastening the end of American-style democracy over the past 125 years (at least) has been increasing government centralization and administrative rule. To answer the question posed by Harvard Law professor Cass Sunstein's edited volume: it already did happen here! The project all along has been, and still is, to end politics. That is, to foreclose as illegitimate public debate and disagreement on issues allegedly settled by science and administered via expertise. As our personal freedom to abuse our bodies, sate our appetites, and neglect our duties ever expands, our actual freedom to govern ourselves and determine our collective future radically contracts. The people writing these ostensible democratic laments are all in the intellectual lineage of those who brought us to this point. Their aim is to complete the project. Trump's aim—however inchoate or implicit—is to reverse it. Who's the real anti-democrat?
[Claremont Review of Books, August 1, 2018]
That's clearly true when it comes to immigration, which the elite would like to "foreclose as illegitimate public debate."
Something similar to what is happening in America is taking place in Italy. Matteo Salvini, the leader of the Lega Party and the interior minister of the extremely based Italian government, might be charged with "kidnapping." Why? For not letting hundreds of illegal immigrants into the country.
We'll link to the Vice version of this story just to highlight how cancerous it is.
On Wednesday, Luigi Patronaggio, a prosecutor in Sicily where the ship is docked, boarded the vessel, then announced he had opened a kidnapping probe against "unknown" persons for detaining the migrants against their will.
In a radio interview Thursday, a defiant Salvini shot back, saying he was not concerned about the probe.
"There's a court that is investigating whether those illegally on board the ship have been kidnapped," Salvini said. "I'm not unknown. My name is Matteo Salvini... I'm the Interior Minister and I think it is my duty to defend the security of this country's borders."
[Italy's Matteo Salvini won't let 148 migrants off a rescue boat. That might be kidnapping. By Tim Hume, August 24, 2018]
This is what we could call Bad Faith Law. Obviously, it's not "kidnapping" to prevent people who shouldn't even be coming to your country from entering. But we have way too many prosecutors, judges, and lawyers that use any pretext, no matter how flimsy, to prevent any immigration controls from being enforced. It is the law being used to subvert the law.
The law isn't supposed to be a weapon. It's supposed to be a code that can be understood, obeyed, and respected by every citizen. When it is used as a means for those who hate the nation to subvert it, it loses its function.
We want to be a nation of laws. But above all, we want to be a nation.
I'm Virginia Dare and we'll speak again soon.

Betrixaban (trade name Bevyxxa) is an oral anticoagulant drug which acts as a direct factor Xa inhibitor. Betrixaban is FDA approved for venous thrombosis prevention in adults hospitalized for an acute illness who are at risk for thromboembolic complications. Compared to other directly acting oral anticoagulants betrixaban has relatively low renal excretion and is not metabolized by CYP3A4.

History
Betrixaban was originally developed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals. Portola Pharmaceuticals acquired rights for betrixaban in 2004 and co-developed it with Merck. In 2011 Merck discontinued joint development.

The drug has undergone clinical trials for prevention of embolism after knee surgery and for prevention of stroke following non-valvular atrial fibrillation.  Betrixaban was also studied in a large phase III clinical trial for extended duration thromboprophylaxis in acute ill patients. Previously apixaban and rivaroxaban have failed to show positive risk/benefit ratio in this indication compared to enoxaparin. APEX trial compared betrixaban with enoxaparin and included 7513 patients. Lower rate of VTE events was found in betrixaban arm with no increase in major bleedings compared to enoxaparin. Based on these results betrixaban was approved by FDA on June 23, 2017, becoming the first DOAC approved for extended prophylaxis in hospitalized patients.

Betrixaban has been also reviewed by EMA but didn't receive marketing approval in EU mainly due to concerns of increased bleeding risk and absence of reversal agent.

"Soviet power is too strong and too poor to build new camps"
The order of the Cheka about the punitive policy of the Cheka
There are no external fronts. The danger of a bourgeois coup no longer exists. The acute period of the civil war was over, but it left a heavy legacy — overcrowded prisons, where mostly workers and peasants, and not bourgeois, sit. We must put an end to this legacy, unload the prisons, and look keenly so that only those who are really dangerous to the Soviet government fall into them. In a front-line setting, even small-scale speculation in the bazaar or crossing the front could be dangerous for the Red Army, but now such matters must be eliminated.
For the future, the conversation with gangsters and malicious recidivists should be short, but to keep in prison crowds of peasants and workers who got there for petty theft or speculation is unacceptable. Mass speculation is dangerous, but it dies out slowly, gradually, but it is true thanks to the combination of economic measures of Soviet power. True, a wave of embezzlement rose high, and many workers are guilty of them, but if you force a stealing worker instead of a prison to work in his own factory under the responsibility of the rest of the workers, then such a stay on all honest people who will wait: Sidor or Petrov will steal again if he disgraces the factory again or becomes a real conscious comrade, such an order will act much stronger and more expedient than sitting under investigation and trial. The working environment will be able to straighten out weak, unconscious comrades, and the prison will permanently cripple them. The slogan of the Chek's organs should be: "A prison for the bourgeoisie, a comradely influence for the workers and peasants."
To unload the prisons - the work is simpler, it is more difficult to prevent their new overflow Meanwhile, the Soviet government is too strong and too poor to build new camps for random people, against whom there is no evidence and that there is no point in keeping them now in custody.
What threatens us on the counter-revolutionary front? Antante espionage, terrorist acts and the underground organization of right-wing Socialist-Revolutionaries: the latter seek to use crop failure and famine in the village, to inflate and unite the kula rebellions.
Of course, open rebellions must be crushed mercilessly, gangster gangs are simply to be destroyed, but the fight against the underground organizations of the Social Revolutionaries, preparing rebellions or terrorist acts, catching political or economic spies requires subtle methods of work, internal awareness, etc. Old methods, mass arrests and repressions, fully understandable in a combat situation, with the changed situation, the Cheka will only pour water on a counter-revolutionary mill, increasing the mass of the discontented. All suspicious persons who may take part in active struggle, non-partisan officers or persons of Right Socialist-Revolutionary, Makhnovist, or the like, should be kept on record, find out, check. This is a gigantic informational work that should come to the fore, but it's impossible to fill up the prisons under investigation with those arrested on suspicion.
Rough signs of discernment on one's own or not one's class: fist, former officer, nobleman, etc. — could be applied when Soviet power was weak, when Denikin approached Orel, but in the 20th year, during the Polish offensive, when most of the active bourgeois elements ran on the other side of the front, such tricks yielded few results. You need to know what a certain name, a former officer or landowner, does so that his arrest makes sense; otherwise, spies, terrorists, and underground instigators of the uprisings will walk free, and prisons will be full of people engaged in harmless grumbling against Soviet power.
The same situation on the economic front, much more dangerous than the counter-revolutionary front. Even during the "National Center" case, the VChK felt the desire of the bourgeois top to thwart the economic policy of the Soviet government. On the one hand, trestifying industry and the sabotage of the switchgear, on the other, such was the plan of the National Center trade and industrial group in order to ensure the domination of large capital in Russia in the event of success of the White Guard weapons and foreign intervention. Now the Russian bourgeoisie is not up to wide tasks, it is suppressed by our victories, the national and other centers are destroyed (although they are trying to create a union of all anti-Bolshevik parties in every way), but the foreign bourgeoisie is alive, and it decided to kill the Bolsheviks, if not dupes, like a ruble. Its instrument is foreign trade: to corrupt our foreign missions with interest bribes, to pump out gold and raw materials as soon as possible, to fool Soviet authorities with all sorts of rubbish instead of steam locomotives, cars, spare parts and other elements of production recovery, and after a year and a half Soviet power will find itself in front of an economic abyss . If, along with the missions of various small and perhaps even major powers, the RSFSR is flooded with foreign receivers of Russian goods who are excellent economic spies and at the same time tie together a loose mass of specialists, the tops of our employees can play the role of "sand poured into the communist machine. Foreign capital will raise the baton, the sand will fall out, and the car will stop.
But this danger of a technical counter-revolution, led by foreign capital, cannot be prevented by rude, accidental blows from the KGB hammer. It is necessary that he fell on the hand of the villain, and not on the machine itself: you need to know the culprit, to suspect is not enough. Here you need to have in your hands accurate evidence, specific data, which again can only be obtained by good information, otherwise cries will rise against the organs of Chek that they prevent the economic revival of the RSFSR by their arbitrary arrests and the detained speculators will have to be released; but if we manage to put the fight against technical counter-revolutionaries on new rails, then it goes without saying that the massacre of captured, caught saboteurs should be merciless. For such bourgeois criminals, a special, harsh prison regime should be established so that others do not have to be guilty.
The struggle on the economic front is also dangerous because there will be many temptations for the Check to apply here mass methods in the struggle against the bourgeoisie in our economic bodies. The situation is as follows: the landlords as a class disappeared, the bourgeoisie declassed, from a political ruler, it turned into zero, and instead of economic domination it left a lackey marauding. But since all the bourgeois elements rushed to the Soviet service, they play a huge role there. For example: the factories are nationalized, but former owners and often unconscious workers sit in the plant administrations, even the factory committees sometimes go hand in hand with the factory owners against the interests of the production as a whole. Private economy in industry and commerce has been destroyed, all the tools of production belong to the state, but the state is embodied in people, and quite often in Soviet institutions three or four conscious communists account for hundreds of bourgeois employees, impregnated with capitalist psychology, acting according to ancient precepts: "It's not the wolf will not run away into the woods "or" Deri treasury-mother as Sidorov goat ". These cheesy servants of the workers 'and peasants' power are only servants, not masters, but thanks to their mass, their loyalty to their predatory skills, even acting without any collusion or plan, they can simply destroy the efforts of the Communists to restore production by force of inertia.
And so the workers of the check can have a big temptation: to take up work that belongs only to parties and trade unions; only they alone can overcome this inertial mass and raise labor productivity. But the fight against the malicious actions of the Soviet employees, since it takes the form of official or criminal offenses, lies entirely on the organs of the check. But even here one should not "spread out on a tree" - all thieves and speculators cannot be caught with the best information. It is necessary to catch speculators and thieves' organizations, it is necessary to beat speculation and theft in the head. No major criminal, especially in a prominent position, should avoid punishment, and since such a bourgeois was caught, convicted, he must be held firmly. There should be no exemptions for the guarantee of such specialists, for them the Soviet prison is intended.

Recognizing Excellence: Frasier family supports, applauds K-State graduates for service
Editor's note: This is part one of a three-part series recognizing K-State alumni excellence. Read part two here and part three here.
Curt Frasier and Sherry Basgall Frasier of Beloit, Kansas, understand the value of an education from Kansas State University. Both are 1973 graduates of K-State.
"We gained so much from Kansas State and have seen that happen with so many students," Curt said.
Thanks to their generosity, the Alumni Excellence Award was created as an annual award recognizing an alumna or alumnus of K-State whose career, service and achievements exemplify the spirit, values and excellence of the university. It carries on the tradition of the Alumni Association's past Alumni Medallion Award, which was presented from 1969 to 2004 and recognized alumni whose humanitarian service added measurably to the quality of life.
"In our discussion about this award when it was established by the Alumni Association, we felt like it was a real opportunity to highlight those individuals that have had a special part in our world today and a special recognition for Kansas State," Curt said.
The award has been given to Pete Souza '06, a renowned photographer, and Mary Jo Rupp Myers '64, who has a rich background in public service related to military, educational and humanitarian organizations and programs.
Now, we're looking for the next Alumni Excellence Award recipient.
Anyone can submit a nomination. The criteria for consideration is available online.
"The Alumni Excellence Award was created to showcase and celebrate K-State alumni for their contributions to society," said Amy Button Renz '76, '86, president and CEO of the Alumni Association. "These individuals reflect the values and academic quality of Kansas State University. We have many graduates who have achieved great things in their careers and service to the world. Through this award, we can recognize their achievements and celebrate their K-State connections."

Q: Way to count change in text anyone knows the algorithm which would take 1 text, 2nd text and would give minimum instructions how to build 2nd text when I already know the 1st?
e.g. output of "uptime":
16:18  up 1 day, 12:15, 4 users, load averages: 2.23 2.66 2.53

after a minute:
16:19  up 1 day, 12:16, 4 users, load averages: 2.23 2.66 2.53

The only change is in time in this case.
Output is acceptable in any format Following sample is just one of the ideas I have how to build up information which would be used to build 2nd line from 1st.

Sample output when comparing 1st call of uptime to 2nd:
4:1:9
21:1:6

4:1:9 (at position 4 - 1 character to removed, add "9")
21:1:6 (at position 21 - 1 character to removed, add "6")

Maybe I could just use some command of git but I'm looking for a light solution as possible, preferably without any dependencies which could run on any machine which is capable to run a shell script.

Update to have a better view what I'm trying to do with this.
This diff solution is needed to save bytes. Trafikito.com agent is running on the server and is sending the output of some commands like uptime free -m etc. to the API endpoint. This happens once per minute and it generates some outbound traffic for the server. I would like to reduce this footprint on the network by sending just a diff. While most of the time just a couple of numbers in all output are changed.
diff - this tool compares line-by-line, which doesn't make sense for commands as uptime where the output is just one line.
cmp - this tool compares byte-by-byte but the output of the command is big. If the byte is inserted at the beginning of the string, it will show the difference for all the coming bytes. It could just show to shift all the rest and insert new thing in place x.

A: Did you consider cmp:
cmp -lb file[12]
 5  70 8     71 9
22  65 5     66 6

A: $ diff -e uptime1 uptime2
1c
16:19  up 1 day, 12:16, 4 users, load averages: 2.23 2.66 2.53
.

diff -e outputs an ed script, suitable for transforming the first file into the second.  It only adds, removes or changes complete lines.
Creating and applying the script:
$ diff -e uptime1 uptime2 >diff.ed

Later:
$ { cat diff.ed; echo ',p'; } | ed -s uptime1 >newfile

This would transform the contents of uptime1 into what was in uptime2.  The echo ',p' is to get ed to write the resulting file to standard output (this is then saved in newfile).
Alternatively, any of the four types of output from diff (normal, unified, context, and ed) may be applied using the patch utility:
$ patch uptime1 <diff.ed
Hmm...  Looks like an ed script to me...
Patching file uptime1 using Plan A...
Hmm...  Ignoring the trailing garbage.
done

See the manuals for diff and patch on your system.

Before offering some comments on the demand for a "workers' government" (WG) today, I think it's important to clarify what kind of government we're talking about. There has been a lack of clarity about what distinguishes a WG from a far more common phenomenon: left governments in capitalist states that rule for capital, as "administrators of the capitalist order" as John puts it.
This lack of clarity has led to cases of revolutionary socialists mistakenly supporting examples of the latter.
I think a WG should be understood as a government of working-class forces (or worker and peasant forces) in a capitalist state (or some other exceptional institutional setting other than working-class rule) that objectively doesn't rule for capital. This means a government that disrupts capitalist rule in some ways rather than just reproducing it. For this to happen, a government must actually engage in "a resolute struggle at least to achieve the workers' most important immediate demands against the bourgeoisie," to use a phrase from the 1922 Comintern resolution (from "The Comintern's Unknown Decision on Workers' Governments"). This is only possible when the balance of class forces is very favourable to the working class (or workers and peasants).
Other contributions to this discussion are published at A Workers' Government as a Step toward Socialism"; see bottom of web page.
Sadly Davids comments are the reality,a strong Left today is a Union with some attitude.Few workers today conceive of a political movement outside of some form of Capitalism.About the best we could achieve in the near future is some form of co-operative economic system inside the market.It would take a economic disaster for even the working class to consider radical systemic change.The financial system has forced to many of us to invest our future in its stability and to leap into the unknown would take immense courage from millions of people.Still when you hit rock bottom and chaos is all around you the possibilities are endless.
I reiterate my questions posed in the earlier thread. One thing that bothers me is the one-sided focus on what we should argue for, demand, and support when, in fact, our forces are so marginal that these questions are not posed concretely and we are far away from having it posed in a concrete way (which by the way is the only real way to overcome the "lack of clarity" Camfield references). In Egypt for example they are still working on creating a workers' party and winning a bourgeois democratic state, the two necessary preconditions for a "workers' government" however that term is understood. Calling for a "workers government" in that context would probably not mobilize mass numbers of people in a situation where political freedom is entirely absent.
Binh, I share this concern, as I think the final two paragraphs of my piece indicate.
I was not clear and for that I apologize. I think the entire approach of this piece is problematic. The problem for us on this question is not lack of clarity or misapplying labels.
While your article makes many valid points, I disagree with your assertion that there are no Workers Government's in the world today.
The governments of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Evo Morales in Bolivia are Worker's Governments according to your definition of the term. Both Chavez and Morales have brought about new constitutions for their respective countries that have deepened democracy, and have fought the power of capitalism and U.S. imperialism to achieve concrete gains for their peoples. Both countries have refused to implement policies demanded by the IMF make payments on IMF loans received by previous governments.
In Venezuela, the government of Hugo Chavez has encouraged democratic participation through the creation of communal councils. Any and all members of the community can participate in the communal councils, and many of the Chavez government's social programs have been implemented through the communal councils.
Some of the Chavez government's social programs include: mass literacy programs; a network of publicly owned internet cafes; social housing (designed and implemented through the community councils); bringing thousands of Cuban doctors to Venezuela to provide health care to many poor venezuelans for the first time in their lives; a network of publicly owned food stores that provides basic foods (frutis, vegetables, grains, and meat) at heavily subsidized prices; land reform; and community gardens.
The Chavez government has nationalized and re-nationalized many Venezuelan companies. It has supported worker-led intiatives to take over abandoned factories and turn them into worker-run co-operatives, and it has supported worker-democracy in some state-run companies.
The Chavez Government has also pursued a foreign policy involving Latin American integration in opposition to U.S. imperialsm. To this end, the Chavez government spearheaded the people's trade agreement called ALBA (the Bolivarian Alliance for the People's of Our America). Current ALBA members include Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador,Trinidad and Tobago, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
In Bolivia, the Evo Morales government presided over a constitutional process that led to the refounding of the country as a plurinational state in early 2009 with guaranteed constitutional rights for Bolivia's indigenous majority. Morales also mobilized support for the government and the new constitution when some of the more right-leaning departments in eastern Bolivia threatened to secede from the country during the run-up to the constitutional referendum of 2009.
The Morales government re-nationalized the hydrocarbon industry, and used the money obtained from these ventures to increase education funding; provide internet access to regions of the country that did not previously have internet access; and to fund social program to combat illiteracy and extreme poverty.
Bolivia has also been the most oustpoken nation on the subject of climate change. The Bolivian government has criticized the UN climate negotiations to create a new climate treaty as leading to an agreement that will guarantee unacceptable levels of global warming. In April 2010, the Bolivian government hosted the World People's Summit on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth, which produced an alternative set of principles around which climate justice could be based.
For one thing, neither the Bolivian government nor the Venezuelan government has carried out "a resolute struggle at least to achieve the workers' most important immediate demands against the bourgeoisie." In response, it might be argued that the current political situation makes it impossible for them to do so. But that would only underscore that they're not WGs.


How to have a fun and safe summer?
Which "style" you'll need is easy to choose, locating a quality product may be the important aspect of an inflatable boat purchase. And when you have got a rental business, you are able to make more business expansion to more benefits. If you've driven by towering, nimble nylon air dancers, you have witnessed these popular items. This means constantly running using this birthday party compared to that, pick-ups and drop-offs at preschool, and the inevitable play date.
Compared using the general toys including electrical toys or plastic toys, these inflatable toys possess a long-term of use. Advertising inflatables are multitasking maniacs that regularly give you the old one-two in attracting and retaining people your location. They also usually incorporate a greater amount of rings and straps for attaching fishing gear. Set a helium-filled advertising inflatable blimp soaring above your building. Imagine spending three months on a vacation only to let the summer pass you by.
The only way that may help you along is always to encourage you to learn more reviews with the various models which interest you. There are inflatable kayaks, boats, motor mount boats, canoes, pontoon boats, as well as sail boats. There are also electric air pumps for inflatable beds. Necessary equipment includes things as being a generator, huge-duty dolly, and perhaps a trailer for transport.
An industrial-sized, professional balloon obviously requires a heavy-duty cold air blower. There are several exciting game titles in line with inflatable celebration themes and deciding on the appropriate kind will aid preserve the meet up really entertaining. Made with durable material and take care of with double stitching, this bounce house will withstand the rough use by young kids. The stakes that have some inflatables aren't always adequate for securing them.
Make sure the item is clean and dry- most products won't adhere well to dirty plastic. With inflatable boats enduring to evolve and augment its features, there exists no sign of the boat vanishing any time soon. Instead of towing an everyday dinghy or canoe behind your automobile you will likely be able to strap your inflatable boat towards the roof of the car or even strap it to the bed of your truck. Finding the correct Kids Outdoor Toys means choosing something that children will enjoy, that can fit the budget which will fit in the available space.

13. BEARE-NOTT
JOHN BEARE and MAUDE NOTT (13)
JOHN BEARE. The marriage between John Beare and Maude Nott took place in 1595, three years after the start of the earliest surviving Rose Ash register. It is thus difficult to know much about John's birth, parentage and childhood. There are burials for Richard Bear in 1600, for Johan Beare in 1609 and for Agnes Beare, widow, in 1613. It is possible that Richard and Agnes are John's parents, but they could be other relations of his. Marrian Bear, who married two years after John, could be his sister.
There were several Beares in the 1581 Subsidy Roll for Rose Ash. They were assessed for goods at a rate between the highest and the lowest.
We can assume John was born around 1570, since couples usually married in their twenties. This was the reign of Elizabeth I. John would have lived through the exploits of the Devonian seamen, Drake, Raleigh and Hawkins. In 1580 Drake sailed into Plymouth Sound, having completed the circumnavigation of the globe in the Golden Hind. In 1588, John would have cheered the defeat of the Armada.
MAUDE NOTT came from an established Rose Ash family. There are burials for seven people of this name from 1592-1614: Edward in 1592, Jane in 1594, John in 1595, Abraham son of John of Yerscombe and Elizabeth 'wief of the said John' in 1597, Tamazen in 1605 and John in 1614. If the couple at Yerscombe were still having children, it is more likely that they are Maude's brother and sister-in-law, or her cousins, than her parents. Edward or one of the other Johns may be her father. There are a child of John Nott of Lapford christened in Rose Ash in 1605, and a marriage in 1625 for John Nott of Lapford, Co. Devon, Yeoman. It suggests there was another branch of the family in Lapford, ten miles to the south-west, who kept in touch with their Rose Ash relations.
There is only one Nott in the 1581 Subsiday Roll for 1581. John Notte is assessed for goods at £4. This is one of the lower values. He may be Maude's father.
References to the family at Yerscombe, later Irishcombe, suggest that they had a farm there. Irishcombe Farm lies in the far south-east of the neighbouring parish of Meshaw, and south of Rose Ash. Whatever the precise relationship of these Notts to Maude, it seems that she came of yeoman stock.
The couple married in Rose Ash in 1595.

This was the year Queen Elizabeth died and was succeeded by James I.
1611 Beare, John s. John 16 Nov
Given the eight-year gap, it is possible that John was the son of a different John Beare.
In 1606 and 1607 the register concludes: 'Teste me John Venner clic John Beare warden'. In 1608 and 1609 the certification is 'John Venner clerke John Bear warden'. 'Clerk' here means a clerk in holy orders, in other words the Rector. John Beare was churchwarden. This could be the father or uncle of our John, but since by now he was an established householder, there is no reason why it should not be him.
The office of churchwarden is a lay ministry, legally recognised in England by the 13th century. From the 14th century, responsibility for repairs to the nave, and for furnishing the utensils for divine service, was settled on the parishioners, with the clergy responsible for the chancel and sanctuary. Churchwardens took on these duties on behalf of the congregation. By the 15th century, churchwardens were chosen in every parish by all the adult parishioners at an annual parish meeting, usually in Easter week, to care for the property of the church and to be guardians of morality. There were usually two, though the smallest parishes might make do with one. All resident householders of the parish were eligible. In the 18th century, the Rector of Rose Ash drew up a rota, listing 49 houses, each to supply a churchwarden in turn. Since John Beare served for four years, that was apparently not the case in the seventeenth century.
Churchwardens are legally responsible for the fabric and contents of churches, for maintaining good order in the church and churchyard, for allocating seats and the collection of the offertory, and for the provision of public worship during periods when there is no incumbent.
They are technically officers of the bishop. At the start of their year of office they take an oath at the archdeacon's court and account for their stewardship of the church's goods at the end of the year. They are charged with giving offenders into custody and the presentment of offences against ecclesiastical law. They work closely with the incumbent for the welfare of the parish.

I was at the local hospital today visiting a friend of mine. She is confined to a wheelchair and she has been having breathing and swallowing problems. While I was there, a visitor asked if they have an MRI there. It seems that they don't and have to refer patients to St George hospital to have it done. The nurse was telling me that they are just as astounded that a hospital this size does not have one. They have been trying but can't get the funding. This is while our politicians are taking their families on overseas vacations and charging the taxpayers for it. Disgusting.

A business partnership is rarely an easy relationship, but a parent-child pairing presents unique challenges.
"Family practices are fraught with danger," says Edward Ruda, president of Ruda Cohen & Associates, a Chicago-based firm of industrial psychologists who work with large and family-owned companies on leadership and management change. "It doesn't take much for the downward spiral to start, and once it does, it becomes awfully difficult to change."
There are many potential problems. The father may be set in his ways and unwilling to modernize; the son may advocate for too much change too quickly. The mother may be reluctant to introduce her daughter to top clients; the daughter may lack the technical ability to handle the job. The father may be highly critical of the son's performance; the son may get frustrated if his father doesn't retire as soon as he'd like. And some patients or clients who are accustomed to dealing with the parent may not like being shifted to someone who might seem young and inexperienced.
"In most cases, the problem is between the parent and the child, and if enough antagonism builds up, the patient or client will feel it and may decide to leave," Mr. Ruda says.
But three Chicago professionals who joined family dental and law practices say their fathers' patients and clients accepted them from the start. They credit their fathers for handling the transitions effectively, by showing confidence in their abilities and respecting their expertise.
In 1987, Michael Marcus started working in his father's Loop dental practice, and in 2000, he bought it from his father. Today, the practice has 2,000 patients — and only five insist on seeing David Marcus, now 73, who works full-time for his son.
"My father was matter-of-fact with his patients when he turned them over to me," says Michael Marcus, now 43. "If a patient needed a procedure and his schedule was booked, he'd offer the option of seeing me or waiting until he could see them. My father would say, 'My son will take care of you.' He didn't ask if it was okay, because he assumed it would be okay. Very few patients questioned it."
Dentist Stephen Gordon, now 51, says his father took a similar approach when he joined the family practice in 1978.
"Before I graduated from dental school, my father worked longer hours to expand his patient base, and that way, he had extra patients to pass on to me right away," says Dr. Gordon, who took over the practice when Theodore Gordon, now 81, retired in 1993. "My father would introduce me to his patients, and if they needed a procedure that I could handle, he'd recommend that they make an appointment to see me. I also got patients by doing emergency cases and then handling follow-up treatments."
For Michael Marcus and Stephen Gordon, whose offices are on the same floor at 111 N. Wabash Ave., mutual respect also contributed to their successful father-son business partnerships.
"I was able to ask my father treatment questions in front of patients without fearing he'd say, 'Oh, you idiot,' " Michael Marcus explains. "And he felt comfortable giving me his patients because he knew that if I came up against something I couldn't handle, I'd ask for his help."
Adds Stephen Gordon: "When my father recommended treatment options to patients, he'd often ask for my opinion. It would end up being a co-diagnosis, which instilled confidence in patients."
Attorney Jeanne M. Reynolds, who joined her father's law practice in 1986, recalls being introduced to clients over time. Though they accepted her involvement in their cases, they often sought reassurance that her father, Frank Reynolds, now 67, knew what she was doing.
"In the early years, clients would ask me whether he'd approved the course of action that I was taking — and, of course, he had," says Ms. Reynolds, now 43, who advises small and mid-sized corporations and banks. "I wouldn't have made a major decision back then without consulting him."
Today, the father and daughter have a shared client base, with Mr. Reynolds taking care of big-picture matters for clients and Ms. Reynolds handling the details.
While their different strengths have made for an effective partnership, Ms. Reynolds credits her father for a smart rule he set 18 years ago, one that has preserved their relationship: They don't talk business outside the office.
Says Ms. Reynolds: "When I go to my parents' house for Sunday brunch, I'm the daughter, not the law partner."

Walmart Wins Battle With San Diego City Council
KPBS | By James R. Riffel, CNS
Published February 2, 2011 at 3:35 AM PST
Chris Hondros
Walmart is known as the place to go to when you don't want to spend a lot of money, and the San Diego City Council decided it's also the store you don't want to spend a lot of money fighting.
On a 7-1 vote, the San Diego City Council Tuesday repealed a recently passed law requiring developers of so-called "big box'' superstores to compile costly economic impact reports, and rejected an option to put the issue to a public vote.
The "Ordinance to Protect Small and Neighborhood Businesses'' was passed by the City Council last November, but was vetoed by Mayor Jerry Sanders, who said it would limit consumer shopping choices.
Other critics claimed it unfairly targeted Walmart because the company employs non-union labor.
When the City Council overrode the veto, Walmart organized a petition-signing campaign that resulted in far more signatures than necessary to force a decision to rescind the law or place it to a public vote.
City Clerk Liz Maland estimated that it would cost between $2.8 million and $3.4 million to conduct a stand-alone special election. If combined with a vote that could be called by the state on budget proposals by Gov. Jerry Brown, the expense for the city could still top $1 million, she said.
"That's money we don't have,'' said Councilwoman Lorie Zapf, who was not on the panel that adopted the ordinance.
Repeal was "pragmatic, fiscally responsible,'' Council President Tony Young said after noting that he thought the law was otherwise a good idea.
The dissenting vote was cast by a clearly angry Councilwoman Marti Emerald, who predicted she will endure "a barrage of smears and slurs'' when she runs for re-election next year, but had to live with herself and stick with her original decision.
"My vote is not for sale,'' Emerald said. She said information given to petition signers on behalf of Walmart was inaccurate.
Councilman Todd Gloria, who authored the ordinance, reluctantly went with the majority because of the cost of holding an election, while accusing Walmart of framing it as a union vs. non-union issue.
About two-thirds of the speakers in just over an hour of public comment were against repealing the law.
Numerous times, opponents identified themselves as "worker advocates'' and stated, "I didn't vote for Walmart to set policy in this city. I voted for you to do that. I can't fight Walmart alone.''
The company announced last week it planned to build about a dozen new stores, of a variety of sizes, in San Diego over the next five years. Company officials said it would be easier to carry out their promise if the law was no longer on the books.

From: Robbinsdale, Minnesota, United States
Occupation: Director
Worked with Ziyi: 1 time
My Lucky Star
After graduating from Yale's School of Drama in Directing, Gordon first gained recognition when her script for A Hard Rain was chosen by Showtime's Discovery Program. Thanks to Steven Spielberg, a rough cut of her film attracted the attention of George Lucas who donated the film's mix at Skywalker Ranch. A Hard Rain went on to win dramatic awards at the British Short Film Festival and the Hampton's Film Festival.
A Hard Rain caught the eye of David E. Kelley who enlisted Gordon to helm multiple episodes of his television series including Picket Fences, Chicago Hope, Ally Mcbeal, and the Practice. Gordon has directed over 100 hours of network television including such critically acclaimed series as Power, Madame Secretary, Rectify, Power, Kingdom, the Office, 30 Rock, Suits, White Collar, Burn Notice, Outsourced, Sports Night, Everybody Hates Chris, and Hbo's Tracey Takes On, for which Gordon won the DGA Comedy Award. Gordon recently filmed her third episode of the AMC period drama Hell On Wheels.
On the feature side, Gordon directed the teen cult hit Joe Dirt starring David Spade, Christopher Walken and Dennis Miller, New York Minute, and What a Girl Wants starring Oscar Winner Colin Firth, Amanda Bynes, Dame Eileen Atkins, and Jonathan Pryce. Gordon was the first American woman to direct a film for the domestic Chinese market, called My Lucky Star. The 2013 film starred Golden Globe nominee Zhang Ziyi and Wang Leehom and was filmed in China and Singapore in the summer of 2012. My Lucky Star was the number one in China for the Autumn Festival. -IMDb

    ftp command args = cde
exit

The grammar i use:
grammar main;

/*Lexical*/
NUM : [0-9]+;
STRING : [0-9a-zA-Z]+;
WS : [ \t\r\n]+ -> skip; // Whitespace definition: skip spaces, tabs and newlines

ruledefrule: 'ruledef' STRING (ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule )* 'exit';
ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule: 'ftp' 'command' 'args' '=' STRING ;

When i run it through antlr i receive an error:
line 3:23 missing STRING at 'ftp'

What is more any of the words used in the input for example 'command' or 'args' causes the same problem.
ftp command args = ftp
ftp command args = args
ftp command args = command

Does anybody know how to deal with that kind of problems?

A: Your issue is that string literals in your grammar such as 'ruledef' and 'exit' implicitly have their own token types and are matched before everything else, including before STRING. Therefore, STRING does not contain 'ruledef', 'exit', 'ftp', 'command', and 'args' in its set of possible values. It is as if you have implicitly written the following grammar:
grammar main;

/* Lexical */
RULEDEF : 'ruledef' ;
EXIT : 'exit' ;
FTP : 'ftp' ;
COMMAND : 'command' ;
ARGS : 'args' ;
NUM : [0-9]+ ;
STRING : [0-9a-zA-Z]+ ;
WS : [ \t\r\n]+ -> skip ; // Whitespace definition: skip spaces, tabs and newlines

ruledefrule : RULEDEF STRING ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule* EXIT ;
ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule : FTP COMMAND ARGS '=' STRING ;

The grammar above doesn't support the inputs you mentioned because 'ruledef', 'exit', 'ftp', 'command', and 'args' are all captured by tokens other than STRING so they do not match it in ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule. The way to solve this is to make another rule, let's call it string, which can be STRING, 'ruledef', 'exit', 'ftp', 'command', or 'args'. And then use that rule in place of STRING where ever the behavior is desired:
grammar main;

/* Lexical */
NUM : [0-9]+ ;
STRING : [0-9a-zA-Z]+ ;
WS : [ \t\r\n]+ -> skip ; // Whitespace definition: skip spaces, tabs and newlines

ruledefrule : 'ruledef' string ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule* 'exit' ;
ruledef_ftpcommandargsrule : 'ftp' 'command' 'args' '=' string ;
string : STRING | 'ruledef' | 'exit' | 'ftp' | 'command' | 'args' ;

Let me know if you'd like me to clarify anything.

A: Change the order of your lexical rules NUMand STRING.
Their precedence is made by their order, so first come first serve.
Have fun with ANTLR, its a nice tool.


On 2 April 2005, the Post Office of Moldova (Poșta Moldovei) issued a series of postage stamps with the title Locomotives. The issue comprises four stamps, with associated cancellation (postmark) and first day cover (FDC). The designer was Vitaliu Pogolşa. The printing was performed by Tipografia Centrală, Chişinău.
CFM (Calea Ferată din Moldova, which means 'Moldovan Railway' in Romanian) is the only railway operator in the Republic of Moldova, that is responsible for passenger and cargo transportation, as well as the railway infrastructure maintenance, within the country. It is the successor of MZhD, a subdivision of the USSR railway. The total length of the network managed by CFM (as of 2009) is 1232 km, of which 1218 km are 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) (broad gauge), and 14 km are 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) (standard gauge). The entire network is single track and is not electrified. It borders the Romanian railway network, with a 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) /1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) break-of-gauge in the west, and the Ukrainian one in the east. Read more..

Axis of Autocracy
By Robert Amsterdam | Published: September 29, 2006
Joshua Kurlantzick has a powerful piece coming out in the next issue of the New Republic that ties together Russia, Iran, China, and the rise of an increasingly cozy alliance of dictatorships and petro-states. The War on Terror has consumed an enormous amount of foreign policy resources for the United States, and in this vacuum, many of the autocracies of the world have had the opportunity "to feel each other out," creating a coherent axis of resource nationalist states. The policy response from the West: far from sufficient. Of particular interest is Kurlantzick's observation that these relationships between Iran, Venezuela, and Russia are not bound to ideology, which gives them a frightening advantage of flexibility and adaptability. He writes:
Unlike the Soviet Union, however, this axis does not offer a comprehensive ideological alternative to the United States comparable to communism; indeed, many of its member countries have embraced elements of capitalism, while using very different political models. Instead, the world has returned to an earlier system, one reminiscent of the early twentieth century, when ideology was not paramount but new powers like Germany and Japan developed flexible alliances to win resources and to weaken Great Britain, the world's strongest country at the time. Welcome to a new era of resource nationalism.
Kurlantzick also seems to understand the link between the theft of Yukos and the latest thuggish bullying of Shell in the Sakhalins:
Putin's plans to develop oil as a state weapon have long been clear. As director of the Federal Security Service (successor to the KGB) in St. Petersburg in the '90s, he authored an article arguing that the state should use natural resources to wield power. Since then, Putin has surrounded himself with former colleagues from St. Petersburg who share his views. In 2004, Putin and friends dismantled oil giant Yukos, a private company, and sold many of its assets to Rosneft, a state company. They boosted the power of state gas firm Gazprom; as Putin bluntly announced, "Gazprom is a powerful political and economic lever of influence over the rest of the world." This week–in a move widely interpreted as an attempt to assert more control over its resources–Russia revoked an environmental permit for a Royal Dutch Shell oil and gas project off the country's Pacific coast. Russians likely approved: A recent poll revealed strong Russian popular support for energy nationalization.
On the SCO:
Moving beyond initial trade and diplomatic ties, the autocrats have built military relationships, too. Russia and China held their largest joint military exercises last year, showing how two armed forces that once detested each other have put aside past mistrust. Russia has become China's biggest arms supplier, and Moscow also has made winning back its military influence in Central Asia a priority, regaining basing rights in countries like Tajikistan. For his part, Chávez has reportedly offered to sell Tehran F-16 fighters, while Russia has provided the mullahs with civilian nuclear technology. In addition, China, Russia, and other Central Asian nations are considering turning the SCO into a full-fledged alliance, which would make it one of Asia's premier security groups. SCO is the "most dangerous organization that Americans have never heard of," argues Christopher Brown, a Central Asia expert. Or, as David Wall of Cambridge's East Asia Institute told The Washington Times, if the Shanghai group added Iran, "it would essentially be an opec with bombs."
And lastly, Kurlantzick gives an ominous warning that without an urgent policy reorientation, the problem of energy imperialism could tilt the world toward conflict:
Sound familiar? In the 1930s and early '40s, the last age of resource nationalism, Japan had turned its back on previous liberal reforms and moved toward fascism. Its powerful economy was short on oil, gas, rubber, and other commodities. Insecure about British and U.S. alliances in Asia, Tokyo justified its invasions of the Dutch East Indies and other parts of Asia by claiming the West was preventing it from accessing supposedly free markets for resources. Japan also inked a loose alliance with Germany–which itself invaded Russia partly to gain Soviet oil–that ultimately became much more substantial. By August 1941, the United States had declared an oil embargo on Japan, heightening the tension over resources. In October 1941, Japan's leaders decided on total war if the embargo was not removed within a month. You know the rest.

Elise Testone, 2012 American Idol Finalist, Jams with Students at the Henry Viscardi School
December 20, 2012 by imc_admin
Holding "We love you" signs, students welcomed American Idol finalist Elise Testone to the Henry Viscardi School at The Viscardi Center, an accredited model academic school for grades Pre-K through 12 that serves children with severe physical disabilities, on December 18, 2012. Testone toured the School, answered questions about her musical career and jammed with sixth graders during their music class.
During the jam session, Testone sang original songs, several she performed on American Idol and also joined in singing "Stand By Me" with the students. The sixth graders also serenaded her with a festive rendition of "Jingle Bell Rock." The visit was particularly special given that many of the Henry Viscardi School students are unable to attend concerts, like their peers do, because of their complicated transportation and medical needs. While visiting, Testone advised the students to finish school, pursue their dreams, including those of being a rock and roll star, and stressed that to be good at anything you have to practice a lot.
Testone will also be performing at the annual Reach for a Star Spring Luncheon on March 14, 2013 at the Crest Hollow Country Club, which raises monies to support programs at the Henry Viscardi School. For ticket and sponsorship information, call 516.465.1595.


In the last few decades however, most doctor's visits are made in an office or hospital setting so that few doctors use a black bag. But technology has added a new dimension to the traditional black bag - it has modified its contents made it more powerful.
Basic drugs in the black bag have changed little in the last few decades but miniaturization of diagnostic equipment has made it possible to carry around various paraphernalia depending on the physician's specialty. In addition to the old standards such as a stethoscope, blood pressure cuffs, gauze and tape, digital thermometer, traditional ophthalmosope, and reflex hammer, physicians now throw in a laptop to which can be attached equipment for monitoring everything from heart to lung function, and to keep medical records. Other essentials are an iPad and iPhone to access x-rays and lab reports, and conduct internet searches for evidence-based guidelines. I might add also that a hand-held or pocket ultrasound machine is mandatory.
And one very important item not to forget is . . . CHARGER!
As technology develops and evolves, so too will the physician's black bag.

So the single page app framework won't solve this, since the problem isn't that you want full control of one page, but rather partial control of all pages. That is in the works, but it's a bit tricky. A Couple of things pop out that need to be solved.
How do you handle classic and new pages when they both exist on a site at the same time?
We are also working on providing additional extension points with SharePoint Framework, including the modern experiences for example in the document libraries. Details schedule or capabilities for these are not yet ready to be shared.
You could create your navigation element as a separate web part and place it at the top of your page, possibly using the REACT navbar components. However you would need to add it to every page.
This seems unfair but I believe there are good reasons why the Sharepoint team have gone down this road.
The modern SharePoint team sites are 'Evergreen' and liable to change without notification. Web Parts developed in the SharePoint Framework will continue to work as they if they do rely on anything outside the web part itself Microsoft will need to ensure that the changes do not affect the existing web parts.
The modern team sites are designed to be 'mobile first' but also will render on other platforms, i.e. tablet, desktop, in a sympathetic manner. You would need to make sure that your 'custom actions' can handle all of these forms when you do not control how they are implemented.
The SharePoint workbench is not SharePoint but a cut down representation that allows you to preview and test your web parts quickly. To use it to test your 'script link' modifications you would need to implement more of the SharePoint experience than it supports.
If you are trying to rebrand the SharePoint experience then I think you need to look at the planned Full Page / Single Page Application SharePoint Framework. It is apparently in the product backlog and there is an entry on UserVoice asking for it as well.


Upon arrival in Luang Prabang International Airport you will be picked up by your guide and driver then continue to explore the place by foot. Get ready to get wet during your visit. be sure to protect your phone in a waterproof pouch (available everywhere during Pi Mai). If time permits, you will have a chance to see the Elephant Procession named "Chang Hieng Koie". Climb to Mount Phousi that rising 150 m above the centre of town, Mount Phousi cuts a distinctive figure on the Luang Prabang skyline. The hill is popular as a place to watch the sun rise or set over the Mekong River, the place for the perfect Instagram photo!
From the summit, enjoy a spectacular 360 degree outlook across the city and its many temples, and out over the surrounding landscape to the mountains in the distance. It is paradise and you have to see it for yourself. Continue to see the National Museum, which set in a spacious, well-tended garden just off one of Luang Prabang's main boulevards (Sisavangvong Road), you will find the fascinating Royal Palace Museum, which is also known as Hor Kham. The museum is well worth a couple of hours of your time if you want to learn more about Lao history and culture. Originally the residence of the king, the museum was designed in the French Beaux-Arts style, with many tasteful accents of traditional Lao culture. After here, we'll drop you off at your hotel for your check-in and the rest of the time is at your own leisure.Overnight in luang Prabang.
Wake up early in the morning and start the day with a walk and enjoy roam around at the market fair "Lolat" which is set-up on the main street of Luang Prabang. The fair includes traditional textile show, local and bordering country's product. Back to your hotel to freshen up and breakfast at your own. At 0900H there will be a ceremony of watering the Buddha images for blessing in every temple in Luang Prabang, observe the local people and ask your guide if you wish to participate in the ceremony. Our guide will take you to a local restaurant for lunch and enjoy the local food of Laos.
In the afternoon, enjoy the beach along the Mekong River and participate in making sand stupas "Toppathatsay" to bring good luck or good fortune. The guide will explain to you the local culture and tradition and the purpose of making a stupa. After here, we'll continue to visit the Wat Xieng Thong that can be found at the tip of the Luang Prabang peninsula is one of Laos most beautiful and richly decorated temples. This temple is a Royal temple built by King Setthathirath in 1559 on the banks of the Mekong river. It is one of the few temples that was not destroyed during the Black Flag Army invasion of 1887. Back to your hotel where you have some leisure time. Overnight in Luang Prabang.
We'll start the day to drive out of town. 45 minutes drive away from Luang Prabang by visiting Kuang Si Waterfalls, it is the biggest waterfall in the Luang Prabang area with three tiers leading to a 50-metre drop into spectacular azure pools before flowing downstream. The pools also make great swimming holes and are very popular with both tourists and locals. Back to town and drop you off at the airport for your departure. Check-in 2 Hours before your flight time.


Kyocera Corp. recently announced that Kyocera TCL Solar LLC, its joint venture with Century Tokyo Leasing Corp., has commenced construction of a 23-megawatt (MW) solar power plant on an abandoned golf course in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The plant will reportedly generate an estimated 26,312 megawatt hours (MWh) per year, enough electricity to power approximately 8,100 typical local households.
The new plant will reportedly become the largest solar power installation in Japan's Kyoto Prefecture. The site is located in Fushimi Ward, where Kyocera established its first major solar energy research center in the mid-1970s. In addition to this project, Kyocera and Century Tokyo Leasing, along with two other companies, recently announced that it is developing a 92-MW solar power plant at a site in Kagoshima Prefecture of Japan that was originally designated for golf course use more than 30 years ago but subsequently abandoned.
In the U.S., several cities in states such as Florida, Utah, Kansas, and Minnesota are having public discussions and considering proposals regarding how best to repurpose closed golf courses. The overdevelopment of golf properties during the real estate boom of the 1990s and 2000s has led to hundreds of idle courses that are now under analysis for repurposing or redevelopment. Many of these properties are now being reconsidered as sites for new housing development, parkland and a wide range of other commercial uses, including solar farms. Solar can provide a particularly productive and environmentally friendly use for defunct golf courses, which are characterized by expansive land mass, high sun exposure, and a low concentration of shade trees.
