Putrajaya claims reduced poverty but UN report shows more poor Malaysians
by Anisah Shukry
Whether poverty has declined in Malaysia depends on how it is measured. An example is Putrajaya's reliance on absolute poverty figures, which according to a United Nations report, results in data that does not reflect reality.
The Malaysia Human Development Report 2013 commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) instead says poverty is better measured against what households earn in general, rather than by a fixed minimum level.
The report measures relative poverty, which sets the threshold at half the national median income, and finds the number of Malaysians in this category has been rising since 2007, with one in five households considered relatively poor.
Absolute poverty, on the other hand, is a measurement based on the declared poverty line. In Peninsular Malaysia, this is fixed at RM763, RM912 in Sarawak and RM1,048 in Sabah.
But the relative poverty line in 2012 was RM1,813, or half of the household median income of RM3,626.
The report, released last week and prepared by Malaysian researchers, notes that in 2007, 17.4% of Malaysians were in relative poverty, and this increased to 19.3% in 2009 and 20% in 2012.
The figures fly in the face of Putrajaya's claim to have successfully reduced absolute poverty to 1.7% in 2012, from 49.3% in 1970.
While Putrajaya relied on the declining absolute poverty rates, the UNDP report argues that relative poverty is "a better approach to assess inclusiveness".
"Absolute poverty has decreased but relative poverty has emerged as a growing concern in recent years," said UNDP while releasing the report last Tuesday.
"Relative poverty, which measures the number of households living with less than half of the median income, is a better approach to assess inclusiveness compared to absolute poverty, which measures the number of households living below the poverty line."
"If poverty is measured using the relative poverty rate (defined as less than half of the median income) as suggested in the New Economic Model, about 20% of Malaysian households are considered poor," reads the report.
This is not the first time a higher poverty line has been suggested by Malaysian researchers.
In 2010, Jayanath Appadurai, who has worked for the Centre for Policy Initiatives, told The Malaysian Insider that a poverty line of RM1,886 was more accurate.
The Pakatan Rakyat-led Selangor government, meanwhile, recently raised the state's poverty income threshold to RM1,500 to reflect the higher cost of living in the state.
This was made in the state's budget for 2015, which sees about 30% of Selangor's five million residents classified as poor.
More inclusive picture of poverty
The Malaysia Human Development Report 2013 analyses the country's current situation to spur policy reforms to ensure inclusive and equitable growth.
Among ethnic groups, the report shows higher relative poverty rate since 1989, the highest among the Malays at 19.1%, followed by the Chinese at 17.9%.
Meanwhile, the relative poverty rate in urban and rural households has remained stagnant since 1989.
"This is in contrast to the normal convention of measuring poverty using the poverty line income, where the official data show the poverty rate decreasing for all ethnic groups, as well as among the urban/rural areas," the report says.
It argues that broadening the concept of poverty, with more emphasis on relative poverty, is "more fruitful".
It notes that Malaysia's lower absolute poverty rate compared to many countries with higher income and lower inequality raised questions on the suitability and plausibility of Malaysia's poverty line.
"Aligning (poverty) measurement to international norms will certainly raise – possibly steeply – the poverty line and subsequently the poverty rate."
The report further points out another shortcoming in the government's method of measuring poverty: it does not indicate the different poverty rates within an ethnic group.
"For instance, although the (absolute) poverty rate for Bumiputeras in 2009 is 5.3%, the poverty rate for the Kadazan Dusun and Murut in Sabah are four times higher at about 25%."
Even among states, the disparity in the absolute poverty rates showed "skewed distribution", the report says.
In Sabah, the absolute poverty rate of 8.1% was significantly higher than the state with the lowest poverty rate, Malacca, at 0.1%.
The UNDP report was written by Tan Sri Datuk Dr Kamal Salih, an adjunct professor of Economics and Development Studies at Universiti Malaya, Dr Lee Hwok Aun, from the UM Department of Development Studies; and Dr Muhammad Khalid of Khazanah Research Institute. – December 1, 2014.

Last week a new Farm Boy location opened up close to Place d'Orleans in Orleans. For those who are not from the Ottawa area, Farm Boy is a chain of grocery stores that specializes in quality produce, meats, cheeses and bakery items. They also have a killer 'fast food' section where you can get a variety of foods to pick up. The new location at Place has a salad bar – one of the few places around that has a 'to-go' salad bar.
The best part about the new Farm Boy is the fact that it is just a few minutes from my house. It is a 2 minute drive, or a 10-15 minute walk. The highway separates my house from the Place d'Orleans area, but I live really close to the OCTranspo Park and Ride, so it is easy to just cross using the OC path that goes over the 174.
Using the paths around my house, the mall (Place d'Orleans) and a few quick minutes outside, I can be at Farm Boy fairly quickly.
We did lock up the Chariot for safe keeping.
We picked up some veggies, peaches, cheese (St. Alberts, yum), and Farm Boy Hummus and Tomato Sauce with Fresh Basil (meaning you can see the green – not some dried stuff).
I may have also had a Pear-Almond muffin…….
If you live in Ottawa I highly recommend Farm Boy for your grocery needs!

'Wax museum' at Waukegan school puts African-American legends in spotlight

Notable African Americans of past and present were personified by 100 fourth graders at Waukegan's Glen Flora Elementary School on Thursday at an event culminating a seven-week project titled "Whispers from the Past."
The assignment, which began in January, will be a significant part of the students' final grade, said fourth-grade teacher Kimberly George, who organized the event.
The final display allowed for the community to see the students' labor, which encompassed research, writing, presentation and public speaking skill.
On Thursday, standing next to her poster board that included an essay and photos, 9-year-old Gabrielle Copeland threw one hand up in the air and belted out a few lines of the Whitney Houston song "I Want to Dance With Somebody."
Copeland said she chose the famous singer because she's always liked her music.
Adding that her mom helped her choose her outfit — a black t-shirt with a unicorn, black tights and black tutu with a pink bow on her hair — Copeland said she enjoyed working on the assignment because she got to learn things she didn't know about the singer.
"I really liked that song, so I already knew it, but I didn't even know it was Whitney Houston that sang it," Copeland said.
Other characters brought to life included athletes, politicians, artists, musicians, scientists and scholars.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama, Olympian Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Lisa Perez Jackson, who was the first African-American to lead the Environmental Protections Agency, were among the students' chosen personalities.

Jointly, side by side in the small gym of the school, the group displayed the immense number of contributions made by African-American people.
The project closed the observance of Back History Month at the school.
"The things that they're doing right now is what they'll have to do in the real world, and this is good practice," George said.
Students began the assignment by choosing a person after some research — then a whole lot more research followed, George said.
"They had to learn what are resources that are credible and write an essay based on what they found," George added.
That essay was a rough draft that throughout the first three weeks had to continuously be revised until made perfect for Thursday's event.

George said the students learned many lessons along the way, even some that cost them to lose points on their project when they plagiarized someone else's writings on their character.
"We made sure they understand that when you write, you have to write with integrity," George said.
Maria Ortiz, mother of 10-year-old George Morales — who for the night was Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton — said she was very proud of her son's work and can't wait to see what grade he'll get.

"He worked really hard on this," Ortiz said. "I like that they all got to learn about the person they chose, but also tonight, they're learning about the other people, too."
School board members and community officials, such as Lake County Sheriff John Idleburg, were among guests treated to the program, which included a group song at the end.
Superintendent Theresa Plascencia invited half a dozen of the students to represent the school and display their characters at the next school board meeting, George said.

Suicide of Bill Sparkman
William Edwin "Bill" Sparkman, Jr August 12, 1958 – September 12, 2009 was an American schoolteacher and Field Representative for the United States Census Bureau found dead in September 2009 under suspicious circumstances After more than two months of investigation, police concluded that his death was a suicide, staged by him to look like a homicide, so that his family could collect life insurance
2 Discovery of the body
3 Cause of death
4 Census impact
5 Media reaction
6 Family reaction
Sparkman was raised in Mulberry, Florida, the oldest of three sons of a high school principal and a furniture company executive Sparkman was an altar boy as a child In high school, he wrote for the local weekly newspaper, The Mulberry Press, and was the football team manager An Eagle Scout, he worked for the Boy Scouts of America as an adult, overseeing the programs in Polk and Hillsborough counties This work later took him to Atlanta, Georgia, then London, Kentucky in 1993
Once in Kentucky he raised his adopted son alone, joined a local Methodist Church, and for nine years worked at an elementary school as a volunteer and instructional assistant In 2005 Sparkman began part-time work with the United States Census Bureau and studied education with Western Governors University, an online college In 2007, after medical treatment of an ingrown toe nail, Sparkman's doctor identified a cyst which led to his diagnosis of Stage-3 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer He continued teaching while receiving chemotherapy treatments from November 2007 to March 2008, during which time he completed his academic coursework and was invited to speak at the commencement ceremony at Western Governors University in Salt Lake City, Utah After graduation he pursued a position as a middle school math teacher
Discovery of the body
Sparkman's body was discovered on September 12, 2009 by attendees of a family reunion paying a visit to Hoskins Cemetery in rural Clay County, Kentucky within Daniel Boone National Forest He had been reported missing from work three days earlier while working on the American Community Survey for the US Census, covering a local five county area Sparkman was reportedly found with a rope around his neck, tied to a tree while in contact with the ground, wearing only socks, with the word "fed" written on his chest in felt-tip marker It was reported in the media that the word had been written upside-down or from an upside-down point of view and therefore, the police eventually concluded, by Sparkman himself His census ID was taped to the side of his neck He was gagged, with duct tape around his hands and feet and over his mouth and eyes Kentucky State Police criticized many media reports of the death, such as asserting that he was hanging from a tree when he was actually tied to a tree with a rope around his neck
Authorities eventually determined that Sparkman's death was a suicide, staged to look like a homicide Initially, police said that Sparkman's death was not natural, but hadn't ruled whether it was a homicide, a suicide, or an accident After an investigation lasting more than two weeks by the Kentucky State Police, Sparkman's 19-year-old son, Josh Sparkman, expressed frustration and called it "disrespectful" that suicide or accident were still being considered In the ensuing days, Sparkman's son further said he was certain the death was a homicide, noting his father's truck had been "ransacked" with items stolen, such as Sparkman's census laptop and a family wedding ring, items not discovered by investigators
Preliminary findings of the local coroner indicated Sparkman died from asphyxiation, and the Census Bureau's regional office in Charlotte, North Carolina said law enforcement called it "an apparent homicide" On October 6, Sparkman's body was released to his family, but the State Medical Examiner's Office stated it was not resolving the case It had only established the cause of death, not the manner of death, and it was still learning "bits and pieces of information" The Kentucky State Police agreed the case was "perplexing" The Los Angeles Times reported that "the case so far is notable for the lack of details divulged by law enforcement officials" In late October, officials reported the case was close to resolution and they were careful in "not rushing a decision" John Berry, director of the Office of Personnel Management, stated his resolve to "come down on these perpetrators as hell hath no fury"
On November 23, investigators declared the death a suicide According to reports, Sparkman, who had previously battled non-Hodgkins lymphoma, was suspected to have believed his cancer had returned, and just prior to his death had taken out life insurance policies totalling $600,000 which would have been paid to his financially struggling son in the event of death and which would not pay out for suicide or death from cancer
Census impact
Regional Director Wayne Hatcher of the Census Bureau's Charlotte, NC regional office, which has jurisdiction over a five-state area that includes Kentucky, held a small memorial service at the cemetery in Clay County on October 11 He said other employees had reacted to the death by requesting to work in teams during census gathering While law enforcement conducted its investigation of the death, the United States Census Bureau suspended its work in Clay County
Media reaction
Because of Sparkman's status as a Federal Census Bureau worker and the word "fed" written on his body, the incident drew national attention On MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, Maddow speculated that a dislike among area residents of the US federal government may have contributed to Sparkman's death Some scholars disagreed, saying there isn't "an outpouring of anti-government sentiment in the region" and that "distrust of government" in the area is comparable to the rest of the country However, an Associated Press report stated the area "has a reputation for mistrusting government, dating back to the days of moonshiners and 'revenuers'", and that it is a top marijuana producer where federal agents have held drug and corruption raids numerous times Among those convicted for drug and corruption charges locally were a former mayor, former city councilmen, an assistant police chief, a county clerk, a magistrate, an election commissioner, the county's school superintendent, and circuit court judge were indicted for voter fraud in March 2009 The Christian Science Monitor also reported on possible connections to nearby drug activities and anti-government motives Clay County is one of the poorest counties in the United States and residents feared the incident would add to its negative stereotype, despite progress in education and efforts against crime
Some suggested Sparkman's death may have been related to controversies over the upcoming 2010 federal census Earlier in 2009 several leading conservatives and Republican political figures spoke out against ACORN's involvement in census surveys and boycotted IT over concerns that the census could be used against citizens Some libertarians faulted the census for contributing to the expanding government and Latino activists boycotted it to push for immigration reform The Los Angeles Times reported that in the absence of public findings by investigators, some writers in the liberal blogosphere concluded that the death was the result of anti-government rhetoric during the presidency of Barack Obama
The Kentucky State Police, which conducted the investigation, noted that there had been wide misinformation and speculation from the media coverage of the incident Robert Stivers, the Republican state senator from Clay County, said Sparkman's death had been "sensationalized" because of his status as a federal census worker In late October, the KSP commander in charge of the case said baseless media speculation "has been a detriment to the investigation" by requiring investigators to examine those claims
On December 11, an episode of the TV show Law & Order entitled "FED" featured a murder victim based on Sparkman, found shirtless with the word "FED" written on his chest However, this victim was a conservative campaign employee who was plotting against an ACORN-like organization
Family reaction
Sparkman's son, Josh, was adamant that his father did not commit suicide He said a man who fights cancer as long as Sparkman had does not commit suicide, after showing the fight to live every day

'Bittersweet but charming'
(l to r) Catie Marron, Tara Brown-Sampson and Michael Van Allen in a group hug (Photo by Vanessa Dinning)
By Jean Lowerison
Harold McClam (Weston Bennett) is a sandwich-maker in New York who spends an extraordinary amount of time trying to write a song about sea turtles.
Meanwhile, in South Dakota, Daphne (Tara Brown-Sampson) is a perky, ambitious girl who wants to be a Broadway star and is plotting a move to New York. Mom says she can take the Chrysler as long as she also takes her sister Miriam.
Miriam (Catie Marron) is perky like her sister, but unlike Daphne doesn't want to be an actress. She's an astronomy nerd, and content to be a waitress. Before they leave, Miriam talks to her deceased father, who assures her that we are made of stars and "you're connected to everything and always will be."
Harold, Daphne and Miriam will meet, triangulate and form the nucleus of "Fly by Night," a bittersweet but charming 2015 musical making its local premiere through Dec. 10 at Coronado Playhouse.
"Fly by Night," conceived by Kim Rosenstock and written by Will Connolly, Michael Mitnick and Rosenstock, jumps around in time and is billed as a "metaphysical musical." In this case, that means that all of these characters are looking for connection — and they all seem to feel that "I need more."
Our guide in this search for meaning will be the Narrator, wonderfully played by Michael Van Allen, who also morphs into several other characters along the way, including the girls' mom, a hoot of a Gypsy and a few Broadway producers Daphne must deal with.
Also along for this musical search for self is Harold's father Mr. McClam (John Craig Johnson), who is stuck in the past — missing his deceased wife Cecily — and now spends too much time listening to "La Traviata," the operatic event that brought them together all those years ago.
Playwright Joey Storms (Andrew Paiva), one of those writers who never really finishes a script but keeps changing it (I can identify), will meet Daphne at an audition (another one where she fails to land a part). She calls his script "worse than garbage." Could she be his muse?
And Crabble (Thomas Fitzpatrick), Harold's deli owner boss, feels stuck in his "mayonnaise, meat, cheese 'n lettuce" existence when he'd rather be an air traffic controller like he was during the war.
"Fly by Night" is an odd bird as musicals go. Set in 1964 and 1965, it's a creature of those self-actualization pre-hippie years before Vietnam took over our consciousness (and conscience) and pushed us into active protest mode. These folks aren't angry about anything; they just "want more."
They are familiar characters with recognizable problems, made engaging by the superb performances of these actors (many of whom are new to both the Playhouse and me).
Bennett's sandwich-maker Harold may be diffident, sweet and unsure of himself, but his high, beautiful falsetto is anything but that. I could listen to that voice all night.
His dad, on the other hand — Johnson's Mr. McClam — is the saddest character, spending his time thinking (maybe even living) in the past.
Brown-Sampson's Daphne is as determined as Marron's Miriam is contented, and both have that big Broadway sound that works well in this show.
Fitzpatrick's Crabble even has a crabby stance in his deli. He's also a hoot to watch.
But they will be both discombobulated and brought together by the great blackout of '65, which left much of the East Coast without power for 13 hours. (Funny how recent history makes that seem like a walk in the park.)
The conversation is familiar and often funny, the songs of the sort that create long-lasting earworms, the messages (if you want it, go get it, and in the end, we are all connected) worth considering one more time.
In a switch from usual practice, music director Emily Awkerman's mighty band of four is onstage throughout, almost becoming characters in their own right.
Karl Bunker's simple, all-purpose set design works well, and sound and lighting are well handled by Caitlin LaMar and Josh Olmstead, respectively.
Director Manny Bejarano's direction and his fine cast keep these characters real and away from the stereotypes they could easily become, and the show from seeming too long.
Only the Playhouse's less-than-cushy seats betray the 2 ½-hour runtime.
"Fly by Night" provides a lovely night in the theater and the show is a welcome addition to the list of American musicals.

Short Article Reveals the Undeniable Facts About Chiral Chemistry and How It Can Affect You
12 Aralık 2019 By JohnMiller83 No comments yet
The New Angle On Chiral Chemistry Just Released
This angle of polarization was chosen so that you could still understand the screen if you chance to be wearing polarized sunglasses. In the beginning, it appears like we've got a mirror image situation. The use of homochiral for a synonym is strongly discouraged. Following image gives a great example. Thus, the mirror image of this sort of molecules isn't identical and are considered as two distinct molecules.
This kind of stereoisomer is the important mirror-image, non-superimposable kind of stereoisomer introduced in the start of the write-up. Its opposite is known as distomer. The man or woman is all that, but you're just not digging her or him. Chirality is an easy but essential notion to support the notion of stereoisomerism, being used to explain one particular sort of its kind. Chirality can manifest in lots of ways, and most commonly we discuss point chirality.
The ones that do not are reportedly achiral. This is known as pseudochirality. If counter-clockwise, it's the l-form. They aren't superimposable.
Chiral Chemistry – Dead or Alive?
It's possible to measure your mass working with a weighing machine. Carbon isn't the only atom that could serve as an asymmetric center. Things which are not matter don't take up space and don't have mass. You have to be in a position to swiftly spot chiral centers in molecules.
Chiral carbon is the principal feature that could be utilized in order to set the chirality of a molecule. Normally as soon as an atom has four unique substituents, it's chiral. Even isotopic differences have to be taken into consideration when examining chirality. Along with configuration and conformation, chirality is a simple concept of contemporary stereochemistry. Such a molecule is known as a meso compound.
The topicity of a few substituents is classified as one of four distinct relationships, which we are going to be looking at next. Chiral molecules cannot own a plane of symmetry. These differences aren't usually as large as the ones shown by compounds that are not isomers.
The Good, the Bad and Chiral Chemistry
A significant choice of macrocyclic compounds can be synthesized in this way. Chiral sulfoxides find application in some specific drugs like esomeprazole and armodafinil and are an excellent illustration of a stereogenic sulfur center. A number of these will, as a consequence of their natural properties, be attracted to one another. CBD cannot possibly be the reason behind a positive result on a drug test, but there are a number of products that have trace quantities of THC. As the quantity of stereocenters in a molecule increases, the amount of feasible diastereomers increases.
For instance, in a mixture of numerous chemical compounds that may react together, or whenever a substance can be present in more than 1 sort of phase. Solids cannot be compressed. In synthetic chemistry, a trituration is quite an easy process used to eliminate soluble impurities from a good material. That way we don't need two enzymes for each and every chemical reaction which involves chirality. This isn't the situation, as all manufactured fluids are acidic, including bottled H20! I don't understand this compound.
The Basic Facts of Chiral Chemistry
YouTube has changed into a very good supply of educational materials. Part One of each book consists of four chapters which give an introduction to topics related to the area of chiral chemistry and includes a succinct breakdown of chirality, a brief discussion on the present market drivers in the region of chiral chemistry, and a simple presentation of the numerous sources and methods for obtaining chiral compounds. It thrives to explain science in the easiest way, and it does a fantastic job in that aspect, so it's a great channel for children of all ages. I think Martin has provided a superb answer, and I would love to supplement it with a couple additional information and examples that may prove insightful. You will find lots of wonderful videos about various birds. Learn more on the subject of matter for kids with this easy to comprehend article.
Students have to take five or more courses in their very first calendar year. Regulatory agencies around the world are reviewing the significance of chirality concerning pharmaceutical and agrochemical solutions. Then 1 day you arrive at the realization that you're very sexually attracted to them. Wrong-handedness is additionally a potential foundation for the growth of new antibiotic drugs.

Cavities are also known as dental caries and they are an early stage of tooth decay. Cavities are incredibly common, so it is likely that if you are reading this that you have experienced a cavity at least once in your life. Some people are more prone to them than others, but for the most part, cavities can be prevented. In order to prevent tooth decay, you need to keep harmful bacteria from attacking your teeth. You can do so by keeping up with a good oral hygiene routine, visiting your dentist at least once every six months, and being mindful about what you eat and drink. If you do encounter a cavity, it is important for you to get it treated as soon as you can. Dr. Young in Lafayette, LA can help you deal with cavities or other conditions with your smile.
A cavity is formed when the enamel of the tooth has eroded enough to cause a hole. Once the enamel is broken through, the bacteria attacking the tooth will make much quicker progress. If a cavity is left untreated, it is only a matter of time before the tooth decay impacts the vulnerable inner tissues of the tooth. At this more severe stage, a root canal treatment or even extraction may become necessary to repair your smile's health. Dealing with a cavity is important because it will not get better on its own.
If you fall down and mildly skin your knee, you know that (in most cases) the skin will repair itself pretty easily. Your body does a good job of repairing itself. However, when it comes to your teeth – enamel will not grow back. If you have damaged enamel from a cavity, it will stay damaged until treated. A dental filling can disinfect the tooth to stop the decay and restore the enamel using a tooth-colored bonding material.
If you are vigilant about your dental visits, your oral hygiene, and your nutrition, it may come as a shock to you to learn you have a cavity. You should know that some people may be more prone to decay due to the pH balance of their mouth, if they grind their teeth, have acid reflux, etc. Talk to your dentist about what may contribute to your tooth decay.
Do you think you may have a cavity?

The Society for Manufacturing Engineers: An inside look
Club Spotlight
Courtesy Of Owlnet
Jackson Kulacz
Whenever a curious observer first looks into the SPDI Lab of the TDS Center, they discover a quite familiar comparison to a factory– clean whitewash, webs of wires and machinery wall-to-wall. A gentle hum of electronics adds to the atmosphere.
It is the home base of the Sustainable Product Design and Innovation (SPDI, or "Speedy") club– KSC's tether to the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
Their members flock to design and construct anything to their hearts' content. Professor Warren Hurd, the advisor to SPDI, kept it simple. "We make things here, then make them better," he said, going on to highlight the importance of their innovation, citing that "manufacturing is everywhere. Provided, most people don't see it being done, but it's there."
The broader nationwide SME organization has roots going back to the early 1930s. Hurd said it established a concrete presence at Keene within the last ten years through the SPDI club, most dominantly through the work of Sheldon "Skip" Marsh, who retired from SME in late 2016. The technological progression shows even today– the gadgets inside the lab offer the best of the old and new. Every newcomer is greeted with a mix of traditional "elbow-grease" instruments, early automation and "transitional" machines and a full state-of-the-art technology outfit. There is a tool for every project imaginable, including a generous arsenal of 3D printers of varying shapes and sizes.
The president of the SPDI club, Slesha Tuladhar, was introduced to the facility through her architecture major, where she said she "fell in love with the lab." She cited her initial experiences as she spoke for others; "It really draws you in." As for the club itself, Hurd revealed that they are somewhere around 15-strong, although an exact number wasn't provided, as the total likely strained COVID limitations. However, Tuladhar narrowed it down to between seven and eight that show up on the regular, all of whom come "[to] have fun", in the words of Hurd.
For anyone who joins their ranks, the choices are limited only to their imagination. Tuladhar and Hurd both gave their insights; graphic design, ornaments, printing QR codes, drone racing and other assorted trinkets to improve quality of life in small but significant ways. As a cherry on top, every project seeks to be sustainable and avoid scrap, according to Tuladhar. SPDI wouldn't necessarily be what it is without the "sustainability" part.
For a place using big machines and making designs, any would-be recruit might expect that some math or science would be needed, or even a major, to join in.
Alas, the club is entirely "open arms" and Tuladhar explained that, "We're an academy organization, but you don't need math or science." Hurd's only requirement is that "you come wanting to make stuff." He stressed this point of openness, settling that "people that want better 'things' will be a perfect fit here."
If a student is interested in joining the SME/SPDI weekly group meetings are in the SPDI Lab, TDS Center 101, every Friday at 1 p.m.. Math and materials are provided, so it'll spare any new members from any outside homework.
Even with the adventures to be had, there is an overlying importance to, as described on the club's OwlNet page, the "fun hands-on experiences" offered here.
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers is tied to KSC dominantly through SPDI, the latter being a major in itself. Hurd emphasized the value of what they do behind those walls. "Manufacturing makes everything," he concluded. "It isn't a romantic art, but… it makes the world go 'round."

Myrick Urges President to Press Saudi Reform
by IPT
IPT News
https://www.investigativeproject.org/672/myrick-urges-president-to-press-saudi-reform
A leading Republican congresswoman is urging President Bush to use his scheduled visit with Saudi Arabia's king on Friday to lobby for reform in Saudi textbooks.
U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, R-NC, wrote to President Bush May 5 expressing concern that Saudi reforms may be focused internally and not on alleviating the threat radicalized Saudi citizens pose internationally.
"While Saudi Arabia is our ally in the Global War on Terrorism, the textbooks used to educate their children, as well as some of our children who attend schools receiving Wahhabi-funds, are spread a dangerous ideology that attacked us on 9/11 and continues to threaten the United States and its allies around the world," Myrick wrote.
It is not clear whether the President will act on Myrick's request or whether the Saudis would listen. His trip to Saudi Arabia reportedly is focused on marking the 75th anniversary of formal relations between the two countries. President Bush also is expected to press King Abdullah to increase oil production. A similar request in January was ignored.
*Updated May 16, 11:30 a.m. (Here's a link to the White House release on President Bush's meeting. There is no reference to education or other cultural reform.)
Few would argue with the need to decrease oil prices. But Myrick's letter was meant to remind President Bush there are other issues with the Saudis that require discussion.
"The President has a rare face to face meeting with King Abdullah, and Rep. Myrick wrote the letter in hopes of reminding the White House that these are serious issues that Americans want addressed," said spokesman Andy Polk.
Similar concerns about Saudi textbooks were expressed in February, when by U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., questioned whether a $20 million endowment from a Saudi Arabian prince had a chilling effect on academic research critical of that country's educational and political policies.
Myrick, a seven-term incumbent, serves on the House Energy and Commerce Committee and established the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus. She issued a 10-point action plan seeking closer scrutiny of extremist groups and activities within the U.S. and
Last month, Myrick called on the State Department to revoke former President Jimmy Carter's passport after Carter met with leaders of Hamas, a group the United States designates as a terrorist organization.
The issue of extremism in Wahhabi textbooks has been well documented. In 2005, Nina Shea, then the director of the Center for Religious Freedom, told the Senate Judiciary Committee about materials taken from a dozen U.S. mosques from New York to Texas to Los Angeles.
"They demonstrate the ongoing efforts by Saudi Arabia to indoctrinate Muslims in the United States in the hostility and belligerence of Saudi Arabia's hard-line Wahhabi sect of Islam," Shea testified.
Among the findings were books advocating that women be veiled, segregated from men and prohibited from certain jobs and other activities. In addition, the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" a fraudulent narrative of Jewish global dominance is treated as valid, and eliminating Israel is considered "the Muslim's duty."
The issue of Saudi extremism has been a longstanding problem, but it is no less pressing today. Various experts have testified before Congress and met with administration officials warning of the dangerous affects such teaching and preaching surely will have.
IPT officials have testified before Congress on the topic of the materials found in Saudi textbooks three times since 9/11. (See here, here and here.)
Look no further than this week's headlines to see the problem first hand. A report in The New York Times chronicling the issues facing various young Saudis, mostly concerning relations between young men and women, contained the following passage:
In Enad's view, jihad is, too, not the more moderate approach that emphasizes doing good deeds, but the idea of picking up a weapon and fighting in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Jihad is not a crime; it is a duty," Enad said in casual conversation.
"If someone comes into your house, will you stand there or will you
fight them?" Enad said, leaning forward, his short, thick hands resting
on his knees. "Arab or Muslim lands are like one house."
Those sentiments should surprise no one who has a rudimentary understanding of what Saudi children are taught in their schools. It seems to explain what motivated Rep. Myrick's letter.

Hollywood Park to trim purses
Hollywood Park is slashing $1.5 million in purse money from its stakes schedule for the track's 65-day spring-summer meeting that opens April22.
The meeting's richest races – the Hollywood Gold Cup and American Oaks – will have their purses reduced by $50,000 each to $700,000.
The stakes schedule released Tuesday was cut because of the sagging economy with the intent of protecting the quality of racing.
"We thought the best course of action was to do as much as we could for overnight purses," said Martin Panza, vice president of racing. "The deductions will help keep overnight purses at or near their 2008 levels."
Overnight races are ones in which entries close a specific number of hours before running, while stakes races require nominations to close weeks and sometimes months in advance.
Also, the track will drop three graded stakes races – the Jim Murray Memorial Handicap, the Hawthorne Handicap and the Will Rogers Stakes. Their status will be reviewed in 2010.
The CashCall Mile will be run as the Royal Heroine Mile and have its purse reduced to $250,000, a decrease of $500,000.
In all, the meeting will offer $8 million for 49 stakes races, including six Grade 1 races.

The Nasdaq exchange will delist Magna Entertainment Corp., the largest horse track owner in the U.S., following the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.

In Case You Missed It: Fred Hubbell Cashes In On Two Tax Credits, Claiming Residency in Two States
ews_sd September 17, 2018 Press Releases
[Des Moines] – Fred Hubbell improperly claimed thousands in tax credits while claiming to be a resident of Arizona.
Hubbell got tax credits on homes in Iowa, Arizona at same time, records show
Cedar Rapids Gazette
James Lynch
Tax records in Arizona show that Democratic gubernatorial candidate Fred Hubbell received a homeowner tax credit there at the same time he claimed a homestead tax exemption in Iowa.
The Arizona tax benefit likely initially was through no fault of Hubbell's, according to the Maricopa County assessor. But despite notices from that office, Hubbell didn't correct classification on his $2 million Scottsdale home from "primary" to "non-primary." That would have made the house ineligible for a credit that allowed him to pay a lower primary tax rate than other property owners.
"I'm learning new things all of the time (because) I didn't know it was wrong to begin with," Hubbell said Friday. "They classified the house. We didn't."
That's correct, according to Maricopa County Assessor Paul Petersen.
"The problem is that we sent him multiple letters saying it was our understanding (his property) was not his primary residence and asked him to give us any information," he said. "He never responded to any of them."
Eventually, a civil penalty was assessed.
Tax records in Polk and Maricopa counties show that the retired businessman and his wife, Charlotte, claimed the Iowa Homestead Tax Credit on a Des Moines residence that sold for $650,000 in 2015. At the same time, the Hubbells received an Arizona "State Aid Credit" on a 4,300-square-foot Scottsdale home that Zillow.com estimates is worth $2.8 million. The county Treasurer's Office shows the Hubbells paid $15,939 in property tax on their Arizona home for 2017.
To qualify for the tax credits in both states, a property owner must live in each home for at least six months of each year. State and county officials in both states concede that's not something they regularly monitor.

Q: How to distinguish 'Role' interfaces from 'Result' interfaces? This issue comes up for me so often in my coding that I'm astonished I can find so little reference to it, and would value other people's thoughts and ideas.
I define lots of APIs, for the frameworks I work on, and within large domain models that I want to break up. Those APIs consist almost entirely of interfaces (meaning, in my case, C# interfaces). I find, over and over again, that I want to distinguish between two kinds of interface. In the absence of finding any more widely used terms, I define these two as follows:

*

*'Role' interfaces are intended to be implemented by objects outside of the API, in order that those objects can be used as arguments for methods defined on the API.

*'Result' interfaces are implemented by objects inside the API and made available to other parts of the system via the API. The intent of defining a result interface rather than exposing the object that implements it is to restrict the view of the object to the outside world.
To pick one example, a Payments sub-system might define IPayableItem as a Role interface, implemented by many types in other parts of the application in order that Payments may be generated for them.  Those generated Payment objects may be retrieved via the API but defined by the Result interface IPayment.
The only way I can currently distinguish these is by naming convention and/or commenting.  Ideally, I would like the distinction enforced by the language, and have it enforce the rule:  you can't implement a Result interface outside the API, only use it. But C# doesn't provide any such mechanism.  (Can anyone advise me of a language that does?). I could define an attribute, but this still wouldn't enforce anything.
Another important significance of the distinction lies in Semantic Versioning of the API.  If I add a new member to a Role interface then this should be seen as a breaking change (and hence a first-level version) -  because any existing external implementations will need to add that member.  But if I add a member to what I deem to be a 'Result' interface then it should only be my own code that is impacted  -  it is just a new feature (second-level version) for everyone else. But with no enforced distinction between the two types there's some risk that people are implementing the Result interfaces and hence their code would be broken.
Has anyone else encountered this dilemma? If so, how have you dealt with it? I look forward to your answers.
But please don't both to respond with either of the following arguments (which I have heard all too often):

*

*My Result interfaces should be abstract classes rather than interfaces.  This does not solve the problem, and potentially makes it worse, since external code can sub-class them.

*I should be returning the concrete type and ensuring that anything I don't want accessible outside the API is marked 'internal'. There are lots of cases where I need things inside the API to be public, e.g. to be accessible to other frameworks (not going through the API).

A: I think what you're asking is it possible to expose an interface, but determine that a given instance is one you created?
If so, you could also create an internal private interface, and mark all your implementations as also implementing the private interface.  Then upon being given an object from the outside world, verify it has the internal interface implementation as well.
public interface IPublic
{
    ...
}

internal interface ISecret { }

public class PublicImplementation : IPublic, ISecret
{
    ...
}

Only you can implement the ISecret, so even if someone implements the IPublic and passes it to you, it will fail the ISecret test.

Pilot Whales Beach Themselves on St. Simons Island – Outdoor News Daily
SOCIAL CIRCLE, Ga. – Multiple Pilot whales (Globicephala melas) repeatedly beached themselves on Georgia's St. Simons Island today, according to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
"While stranding is a known natural occurrence, the only thing we can do is to continue pushing them out to sea," says Wildlife Biologist Clay George.
Personnel from the DNR Wildlife Resources Division, DNR Coastal Resources Division, Georgia Sea Turtle Center, NOAA, Glynn County Emergency Management and others participated in efforts to push several beached whales back out to sea, with some animals continuing to return to the beach. While some animals were successfully pushed back out, two of the whales have died. These whales will be taken for a necropsy. The remaining whales were last seen swimming in the sound, and it is hoped they will continue to keep moving out to sea.
Among cetaceans, pilot whales are the most common species known to strand in mass numbers.
