Will Kymlicka, political philosopher (born 1962 in London, ON)
Will Kymlicka, political philosopher (born 1962 in London, ON). Author of 8 books and over 200 articles, which have been translated into 32 languages, Will Kymlicka's groundbreaking work on the link between democracy and diversity, and more recently on animal ethics, has secured him a position among Canada's most influential thinkers.
Education and Early Work
Professor of Philosophy and Canada Research Chair in Political philosophy at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Kymlicka received his BA from Queen's University in politics and philosophy in 1984, and a D.Phil in philosophy from the University of Oxford in 1987, under the advisory of the Montréal-born Marxist philosopher G.A. Cohen. Kymlicka's political analysis is set squarely within the liberal tradition and involves a theory of the proper relationship between the individual and the state. In his first major publication, Liberalism, Community and Culture (1989), Kymlicka advances a version of liberalism that answers the charge that liberal political theory is too individualistic to account for group rights in general and the rights of minority groups in particular. The argument he advances is that the identity of individuals is embedded within a social and cultural context that links it to the identity of communities. Kymlicka argues for the collective rights of minorities, such as French Canadians and Aboriginal peoples, on the grounds that a secure sense of cultural belonging is of great importance for individual wellbeing. Furthermore, he posits that rights to protection and autonomy for minorities are justified by the disadvantages they face in enjoying secure cultural membership. Kymlicka's idea that the concept of group rights should be part of liberal thought is heavily influenced by his reading of American thinkers John Rawls and Ronald Dworkin.
Multicultural Citizenship
Kymlicka's early writings set the stage for his magnum opus, Multicultural Citizenship: A Liberal Theory of Minority Rights. There he develops a liberal model for understanding group rights, leading to concrete policy recommendations for the federal government. His focus is on ethno-cultural groups such as national minorities, which he distinguishes from immigrant groups who have "voluntarily entered the country" and are expected to "participate within the public institutions of the dominant culture." The main objective of Multicultural Citizenship is to show that group-differentiated rights (rights that only apply to specific groups) are both a valid extension of basic liberal values, and necessary in certain situations. Kymlicka believes that true equality requires different treatment for different groups. He defines three such group-differentiated rights for national minorities: (1) rights to self-governance that ensure political autonomy or territorial jurisdiction, (2) poly-ethnic rights such as anti-oppression policies that involve the alteration of school curricula and legal exemptions, and (3) special representation rights used to equalize the historical exclusion that members of culturally disadvantaged groups experience. Each separate category is meant to protect the autonomy of individuals within minority groups while ensuring their ability to participate in larger society.
Central to Kymlicka's defence of group-differentiated rights is a distinction between "internal restrictions" and "external protections." The former are intended to protect minorities from the destabilizing impact of internal dissent, such as the decision of individual members not to follow traditional practices or customs. External protections aim to protect minority groups from the impact of external decisions, in particular "the economic or political decisions of the larger society." These protections include upholding historical agreements about special land and hunting rights, terms of federation, and agreement concerning boundaries and the use of languages. Kymlicka insists that the liberal state should support external protections to minority cultures, provided they do not result in oppression and exploitation. Internal restrictions, however, cannot be justified from a liberal perspective because they restrict individual autonomy. While critics have found fault with some of Kymlicka's arguments (e.g., the clear-cut division between national minorities and immigrant groups, and the idea that the rights of minorities are undervalued in Canada), Multicultural Citizenship is regarded as essential reading for anyone interested in the link between citizenship and social justice. It was awarded the Macpherson Prize by the Canadian Political Science Association and the Ralph Bunche Award by the American Political Science Association for spearheading the contemporary debate about group-differentiated rights.
In his most recent book, Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights (co-authored with Sue Donaldson), Kymlicka develops a moral framework that connects "the treatment of animals more directly to the fundamental principles of liberal-democratic justice and human rights." This approach is based on citizenship theory, which divides animals into three categories: domesticanimals, which have been tamed and kept by humans as a source of labor, food , or companionship; wild animals; and liminal animals, such as mice, pigeons and insects, who have "adapted to life amongst humans, without being under the direct care of humans." Kymlicka and Donaldson apply a different form of person-state relationship to each category. They argue that domesticated animals should be granted co-citizenship with humans, in which their best interests and preferences would be taken into consideration. This may involve a "prima facie right to share ... public spaces." Similarly, wild animals should enjoy sovereignty and be granted a secure space that protects their autonomy and ability to flourish. Liminal animals should be treated as denizens with the right to live among humans as equals rather than being viewed as pests subject to mass extermination. While seemingly controversial, Zoopolis steers a middle course between animal welfare reform and "abolitionism," granting all animals full equality with humans, by insisting that both approaches are too simplistic to account for the many ways in which humans affect animal populations and vice versa.
Will Kymlicka is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Killam Prize in 2004, the Trudeau Fellowship in 2005, and the 2009 Premier's Discovery Award in the Social Sciences. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2003, and served as President of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy from 2004 to 2006.

If you, or a loved one, are currently struggling with a mental illness and also facing incarceration, we understand this is a very tough period for you. There are several organizations that can support and assist you during this period so you don't go through this alone. These organizations provide services pre-incarceration, during incarceration and post-incarceration. They assist in a variety of ways, from advocating for individuals to serve through a community-based alternative to incarceration (Center for Alternative Sentencing and Employment Services), to providing free legal and advocacy services to children and adults with disabilities (During Incarceration Assistance) to empowering formerly incarcerated and their families (Alliance of Families for Justice).


← CEO Dr. El Sanadi shares his Broward Health vision.
There is little doubt that Dr. Nabil El Sanadi is as ambitious as any Wall Street wolf. Taking the political route for career advancement, it is believed that Dr. Nabil El Sanadi and his wife Lori have given tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to secure his very lucrative political appointments as "Medical Director" to Broward Sheriff's Office, the City of Sunrise, the City of Tamarac and the City of Fort Lauderdale as Medical Director[i] and appointment to the State of Florida Medical Board where he serves as its current chair. It has been estimated that these contracts pay Dr. El Sanadi over $300,000.00 in additional taxpayer funds while he receives his $675,000.00 (plus benefits) Broward Health "full-time" CEO pay. It is noteworthy that the wife of David Di Pietro who is currently under consideration for a gubernatorial judicial appointment in Broward was also previously appointed to the Florida Medical Board in September 2012 and serves closely with Dr. El Sanadi prior to his CEO appointment. This reputed close relationship between the Di Pietro's and El Sanadi continues through today. Recall that David Di Pietro is the current chair of Broward Health and the alleged puppeteer behind El Sanadi's CEO appointment as well as one of Governor Scott's political fundraisers. Coincidence?
It is also widely believed that David Di Pietro not only force the resignation of Frank Nask, Broward Health's previous CEO, but also through his fund raising relationship with the Governor, packed the Broward Health board with political appointees and created a sham CEO search process to guarantee El Sanadi's appointment as CEO of Broward Health. What is unknown is the extent that Governor Scott played in El Sanadi's selection as CEO and if so, what if anything was offered as a quid pro quo.
El Sanadi's contributions to the Children's Diagnostic Treatment Center so far: 2/4/15 – $930.00.
Health board, El Sanadi said "Nieland was a tough negotiator". What? Was El Sanadi serious or simply deflecting? You decide.
What is not generally known is that previous to the appointment of El Sanadi as CEO of Broward Health is that there was an initiative from the previous CEO Frank Nask to offer medical directorship services to all municipalities and governmental entities within the North Broward Hospital District as a free service of Broward Health which would make the El Sanadi medical directorship agreements a direct as opposed to indirect competitor to the public interests of Broward Health. It is not surprising that this initiative under El Sanadi can't be found.
Essentially, this contract "negotiated" by "Country" David Nieland makes a mockery of the independence and fiduciary responsibilities of the Broward Health CEO where almost anything in the health care sector in Broward is in tacit competition with the public interests of Broward Health. That is, apparently, unless you are part of the Governor's republican fund-raising apparatus.
In a future post, the El Sanadi, Coventry, Phoenix Emergency Services, and the BSO incestuous relationship of insider double dealings will be examined. My working title is "Bend Over and Smile – Broward style".
[i] In order for Firefighter/EMS units to be allowed to perform certain medical protocols as non-physicians, the department needs to have a certifying physician a.k.a. "Medical Director" under contract. Both the contract time requirements and demands for the Physician is limited so these very profitable contracts are highly competitive and political charged.

Evaluation of particle-based continuum methods for a coupling with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method based on a nozzle expansion
Physics of Fluids - Fri, 07/12/2019 - 06:15
Physics of Fluids, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2019.
This paper investigates three different particle-based continuum methods, the ellipsoidal statistical Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (ESBGK) and Fokker-Planck (ESFP) methods and the Low Diffusion (LD) method, for a coupling with the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. After a short description of the methods and their implementation, including the coupling concept for the LD-DSMC, simulation results of a nozzle expansion are compared with available experimental measurements and a DSMC simulation. Excellent agreement between ESBGK, ESFP, and DSMC can be observed in the throat of the nozzle, while the LD method fails to predict the correct velocity, temperature, and density profile. Further downstream, only the DSMC and the coupled ESBGK/ESFP-DSMC simulations are able to reproduce the measured rotational temperature profiles. A performance comparison shows the possible computational savings of a coupled ESBGK/ESFP-DSMC simulation, where a speedup of four orders of magnitude can be observed compared to a regular DSMC simulation.

On the particle discretization in hypersonic nonequilibrium flows with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method
Physics of Fluids - Thu, 07/11/2019 - 04:20
To help understand the discrete molecular behaviors in a nonequilibrium state, this work investigated the statistical and physical features of particle discretization for the direct simulation Monte Carlo method with no time counter collision scheme in hypersonic flows. Different functionals, particle discretization errors of four macroscopic quantities, were studied by averaging their values throughout four flow regions. Specifically, a linear convergence behavior [math], an independence of Nc, and an inverted V-type variation of discretization errors were observed for different functionals and in different regions, where Nc is the particle number per cell. The magnitude of discretization error was found to be positively related to the degree of local nonequilibrium effect. Further microscopic analyses indicated that the mean collision separation is independent of Nc even if ⟨Nc⟩ < 10. Instead, the variation of collision frequency with a turning point of ⟨Nc⟩ ≈ 10 was found to be responsible for the observed convergence behaviors. An overestimation of collision frequency with decreased Nc appeared when ⟨Nc⟩ > 10 because of a reduced maximal relative velocity. Meanwhile, an underestimation of collision frequency with decreased Nc appeared when ⟨Nc⟩ < 10 because of repeated collisions. In addition, the effect of repeated collisions was enhanced by a strong kinetic and thermodynamic nonequilibrium in such a way that the mixed and inverted V-type trend of particle discretization errors inside the shock wave was observed.
Simple multi-sections unit-cell model for sound absorption characteristics of lotus-type porous metals
This paper presents a simple multisection unit-cell model (UCM) with which to investigate the sound absorption characteristics of lotus-type porous metals (LTPMs). This model is inspired by analyzing micrographs of the LTPMs and by considering the relationship between the average pore diameter and the porosity. The multisection UCM is used to establish the analytical relationships between the basic nonacoustic parameters (namely, flow resistivity, tortuosity, and porosity) and the sound absorption characteristics of the LTPMs. The analytical predictions are compared with existing experimental data and with analytical results from a uniform UCM. Good agreement is found between the multisections UCM and the existing experimental results. The comparative relationships of the sound absorption coefficients of the LTPMs and uniform and graded open-cell foam aluminum are plotted as well.
Inertial instabilities in a microfluidic mixing-separating device
Combining and separating fluid streams at the microscale has many scientific, industrial, and medical applications. This numerical and experimental study explores inertial instabilities in so-called mixing-separating micro-geometries. The geometry consists of two straight square parallel channels with flow from opposite directions and a central gap that allows the streams to interact, mix, or remain separate (often also referred to as the H-geometry). Under creeping-flow conditions (the Reynolds number tending to zero), the flow is steady, two-dimensional, and produces a sharp interface between fluid streams entering the geometry from opposite directions. When Re exceeds a critical value, one of two different supercritical, inertial instabilities appears which leads to significant changes in the flow pattern and an increased level of interaction between the two streams, although the flow remains steady. The exact form of the instability is dependent on the gap size and the Reynolds number, and we identify two distinct instabilities, one of which appears in devices with large gaps and another which appears in devices with small gaps. At intermediate gap sizes, both instabilities can occur in the same device (at different onset Re). The experimental results for one gap size are used to validate our numerical method, which is then applied to a wider range of gap sizes. The results suggest that the gap size is of primary importance in determining the type of instability that occurs. With a judicious choice of gap size, the instabilities can be exploited (or avoided) in scientific, medical, or other microfluidic applications.
Experimental and numerical studies on the flow characteristics and separation properties of dispersed liquid-liquid flows
The local dynamics of spatially developing liquid-liquid dispersed flows at low superficial velocities, ranging from 0.2 to 0.8 m s−1, are investigated. The dispersions are generated with an in-line static mixer. Detailed measurements with laser-based diagnostic tools are conducted at two axial pipe locations downstream of the mixer, namely, at 15 and 135 equivalent pipe diameters. Different flow patterns are recorded, and their development along the streamwise direction is shown to depend on the initial size and concentration of the drops as well as the mixture velocity. The drop size is accurately predicted by an empirical formula. The variations in drop concentration over the pipe cross-section along the pipe result in local changes of the physical properties of the mixture and consequently in asymmetrical velocity profiles, with the maxima of the velocity located in the drop-free region. Computational fluid dynamics simulations based on a mixture approach predict the experimental results close to the experimental uncertainties for the majority of the cases. The simulation results reveal that gravity and lift forces, as well as shear-induced diffusion are the most important mechanisms affecting the drop migration. It is found that the drops behave as suspensions of rigid spheres for the conditions investigated, despite the deformation effects, which are found experimentally to be stronger at the densely packed region.
Phase field lattice Boltzmann model for air-water two phase flows
Two phase flows occur in different forms with liquid and gas in general, among which, the interaction of the flow of air and water is a common scenario. However, modeling the two phase flow still remains a challenge due to the large density ratio between them and different space-time scales involved in the flow regimes. In the present work, the lattice Boltzmann (LB) model capable of handling large density ratio (1000) and high Reynolds number (104) simultaneously is proposed. The present model consists of two sets of LB equations, one for the flow field in terms of normalized pressure-velocity formulation and the other for the solution of the conservative Allen-Cahn equation to capture the interface. The numerical tests such as stationary drop, bubble coalescence, and capillary wave decay have been performed, and the results exhibit excellent mass conservation property. The capability of the present model to handle complex scenarios has been tested through test cases, for example, rise of an air bubble, splash of a water droplet on a wet bed, and Rayleigh-Taylor instability. In all test cases, the simulation results agree well with the available reference data. Finally, as an application of the present model, the breaking of a deep water wave with high Reynolds number (104) is simulated. The plunging breaker with wave overturning and the generation of secondary jet and splashes are well described by the present LB model. The evolution of wave energy dissipation during and after breaking is in agreement with the reference data.
Modeling and verification of the Richtmyer–Meshkov instability linear growth rate of the dense gas-particle flow
The multiphase Richtmyer–Meshkov instability (RMI) often occurs in supernova events and inertial confinement fusion processes, where it plays a critical role. In the evolution of the RMI process, the particle phase may have either a dilute or a dense pattern. Previous studies have mainly focused on the dilute pattern. Currently, there is no published research on the theoretical growth model of the dense gas-particle flow. In this work, a new Atwood number model was developed with the assumption of a small Stokes number and shown to be effective for the RMI of the dense gas-particle flow. The Atwood number model was characterized by the moment coupling parameters and the ratio of the volume fractions of the two phases. Further derivation showed that it was consistent with the original Richtmyer's model and the dilute gas-particle flow model. In addition, the theoretical growth rate was modeled to predict the evolution law of the mix zone width for the dense gas-particle flow. The presence of the particle phase inhibited the growth rate of the RMI, which emphasized the effect of the solid phase. The corresponding numerical simulations were also performed based on the compressible multiphase particle-in-cell method for different cases of the particle volume fraction. The numerical results demonstrated the accuracy of the theoretical growth rate model. Additionally, a brief analysis of the flow structures and cloud motion during the RMI process was performed.
On vortex intensification due to stretching out of weak satellites
The interaction of two essentially unequal vortices is studied for the two-dimensional inviscid model. The curved stretching out of a weak satellite, localized at the periphery of the main vortex, is described analytically in the passive scalar approximation. The rate of energy transfer from the satellite to the main vortex is shown to increase with the curvature of the satellite orbit characterized by the ratio of the satellite size to its distance from the main vortex center. Such a mechanism of the energy cascade is distinct from previously considered symmetric deformations by external flows with a uniform strain rate when the energy is preserved for localized vortices with zero circulation in an unbounded domain. Therefore, asymmetric stretching out of satellites along curved orbits with the finite circumference is crucial for the vortex intensification and can serve as an important ingredient of inverse energy cascade in the two-dimensional turbulence.
A micropolar-Newtonian blood flow model through a porous layered artery in the presence of a magnetic field
In this work, we present a two-phase model of blood flow through a porous layered artery in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. The characteristic of suspensions in blood allows us to assume blood as a micropolar fluid in the core region and plasma as a Newtonian fluid in the peripheral region of a blood vessel. The wall of a blood vessel is porous and composed of a thin Brinkman transition layer followed by a Darcy porous layer of different permeabilities. A magnetic field of uniform strength is transversally applied to the direction of blood flow. The authors obtained an analytical solution of the problem of blood flow through the composite porous walled artery. Analytical expressions for the flow velocity, microrotational velocity, flow rate, and stresses at the wall have been obtained in the closed form using the modified Bessel function. The effects of various flow parameters on the two-fluid model of blood flow are analyzed graphically. An important conclusion which is drawn from the solution of the present problem is that the different permeabilities of Darcy and Brinkman regions of the porous layered artery have a significant effect on the flow. The present work is validated from the previously published literature studies.

NFT Video Games Could Be a Step Backwards – Game Rant
Over the past year, NFTs have been growing in popularity. The non-fungible tokens have been viewed as a way to have exclusive ownership of, or access to, different media and have even given streamers like Mizkif big money sponsorship opportunities. While the premise behind NFTs might feel like the natural evolution for cybersecurity and being able to circumvent piracy when it comes to individual works of art, they aren't necessarily the perfect answer.
The data for individual NFTs varies, as unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, each NFT can have its own value. This looks like a win for a market like video games, where individual games, bonus content, and other related digital items could be given values and tracked, but it could easily do more harm than good. NFTs are reliant on blockchain, and like other uses of the technique, are extremely resource-intensive. They draw heavily on not only natural resources, needing a lot of energy to function, but also material resources like graphics cards that are already in short supply.
Problems With NFTs in Games
Adopting NFTs on a large scale in the video game industry could be a step backward that does a lot of harm both socially and to the environment. As fun as video games are, they already require fans to use a lot of energy to run. Every format, from PC to the Nintendo Switch, requires some form of electrical power, and the addition of NFT video games could drastically increase the amount of power already used by the industry as a whole. This makes recent comments on NFT games from Xbox's Phil Spencer a little reassuring, but not too much.
While the technology does seem to be evolving, with its current phase being very speculative, that doesn't mean there aren't those willing to adopt it. Even though titans of industry like Xbox or PlayStation might not have come around to them yet, there's still a potential for NFTs and other cryptocurrencies to become a premier option. Dead by Daylight has been criticized for selling NFTs, and if more popular games follow suit, it could quickly become a situation that gets out of hand. This could result in video games being vilified, as people use an entertainment source that seems to be contributing to climate change and having a negative overall impact on the environment.
On top of this, the sporadic nature of NFTs could be harmful to how the industry itself operates. Video games generally sell at similar price points with different editions being priced differently. Even smaller games and indie titles tend to share the same $15 to $30 range, depending on the amount of content in the game. Introducing NFTs as a more prominent secondary-market option could disrupt this, and result in wild prices that feel more exploitative of people and art than they are representative of building a community around games. This is something that some may have already seen happen with the NFT game Epic Hero Battles.
Using a system that is often discussed as a way to prevent art or IP theft it appears the game may have done just that. While this is something that might not negatively affect larger titles and studios, it could hurt smaller teams that could fall victim to similar practices. So, while Neopet NFTs might not be in danger of having their art stolen, smaller creators could still find that their original characters are being used for online marketplaces they may not be associated with.
Fortunately, the somewhat silver lining to NFTs' current relationship with video games is how major names do seem to be trying to avoid them. A step further than Phil Spencer's comments on them is the Steam ban on games featuring cryptocurrencies and NFTs. While some do view these as the future of video games, they can come with a lot of baggage: NFTs can have a negative impact on the planet's environment and still hold their real-world value, despite the digital nature of cryptocurrencies. The steps to avoid NFTs might be seen as extreme in the future, but until the impacts of them aren't as detrimental it looks like a step in the right direction.

Q: what is NSZone? What are the advantages of using initWithZone:? There are so many functions like

1. NSDefaultMallocZone()
2. NSCreateZone();
3. NSRecycleZone();
4. NSSetZoneName();
5. NSZoneMalloc();
and many more related to NSZone

What does NSZone means, where to use these functions and when?
What are the advantages of initWithZone: and how to use in my iphone app?

A:
NSZone is Apple's way of optimizing
object allocation and freeing. NSZone
is not an object; it is an opaque
C-struct storing information about how
memory should be handled for a set of
objects.
One rarely needs to worry about
handling your own zones in
applications; Cocoa handles it
transparently. A default NSZone is
created on startup and all objects
default to being allocated there. So
why would you want to use your own?
If you are mass-allocating hundreds of
cheap objects, you may find the cost
of actually allocating space for them
becomes significant. Because the
standard zone is used all the time, it
can become very patchy; deleted
objects can leave awkward gaps
throughout memory. The allocator for
the standard NSZone knows this, and it
tries to fill these gaps in preference
to grabbing more memory off the
system, but this can be costly in time
if the zone has grown quite large.
If you want to mass-allocate objects,
then, you can create your own zone and
tell it not to bother with finding
gaps to put new objects in. The
allocator can now jump to the end of
its allotted memory each time and
quickly assign memory to your new
objects, saving a lot of effort.
Allocators can save you time
elsewhere, too, as asking the OS for
more memory, which a zone needs to do
whenever it fills up, is another
costly operation if it's done a lot.
Much quicker is to ask for huge chunks
of memory at a time, and you can tell
your NSZone what to do here as well.
Rumor has it that NSZone could save
you deallocation time in the Good Old
Days, too, with a method that simply
chucks away all the allotted memory
without bothering to call
deallocators. If a set of objects is
self-contained, this could save a lot
of time, as you can chuck them all
away at once without tediously
deallocating them all. Alas, there
appears to be no sign of this godsend
in the current documentation; the
single NSZone method (NSRecycleZone?)
carefully puts all the objects in a
zone neatly on the default NSZone. Not
exactly a huge time-saver.
So, in summary, zones save you time in
mass allocations. But only if
programmers know how to use them!

From CocoaDev
Edit from comments: "Also important to note is that you can't use NSZone any more if you're using ARC. Which you should be."

It may have cooled down over the weekend but Forbes residents can expect the warm weather to return this week. We're nearly half-way through autumn but you'd hardly know it in Forbes with temperatures above 30 degrees for the past two weeks. Forbes' average maximum temperature is more than nine degrees above the long-term average for April so far. Weatherzone statistics put the average afternoon high for the month to date at 33.1 degrees – a lot higher than the long-term average of 24.5 degrees. Our hottest day has been 35 degrees, just shy of the 35.1 degree record set in 2016. No surprises that our nights have also been hotter than the norm for this time of year. Weatherzone lists our average minimum temperature for April 2018 to date as 13.3 degrees, above a long-term average of 9.4 degrees. So far our coldest morning for the month has been 10 degrees – our coldest morning for the year was 4.1 degrees on March 27. Back in April 2006 we shivered through a -1.8 degree morning. Meanwhile, we could desperately use an autumn rain break. Nothing has been measured at Forbes Airport this month, and there's been just 47mm recorded at the airport so far this year. Forbes' average rainfall to April is 155.4mm. The Department of Primary Industries has Forbes – and more than three quarters of the central west – listed as drought onset under their combined drought indicator. Looking ahead, the forecast is finally giving a hint of reprieve. There is a chance of 5-10mm rain this Friday, with temperatures then expected to cool down next week. There's a chance of more showers on Saturday and a much more autumnal top of 21 degrees forecast for Sunday.

A picture-story show, based on our picture book, was performed at the "Nazuna Bunko" in Malaysia.
"Nazuna Bunko" is a private library by Ms. Tanimoto who lives in Quantann in Pahang Province. It was established at her home in July 2005 for Japanese children living in Malaysia. For over ten years they have been reading Japanese picture books, playing games, and renting books. Now they hold over 500 children's books.
In front of the children, the picture-story show was performed by the students who Ms.Tanimoto taught Japanese.
Due to the donation of picture books held in Malaysia in January 2016, we are very impressed that the activities to convey the importance of our thought "connect as many people' HEARTS" will spread by changing its shape.

Object permanence is the understanding in our cognitive development that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched.
Ha ha... That's a good one!


Following a recent review of the requirements put in place in 2016 regarding the "Improve Tracking of Workplace Injuries and Illnesses" regulation, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has corrected an error that was made with regard to implementing the final rule.
In May 2016, OSHA announced a new reporting rule requiring employers to submit the information from their 300A form electronically. The submission deadline for the first transmittal was set to be July 1, 2017, then extended to December 1, 2017. As of last week, the deadline has now been pushed back another 2 weeks until December 31, 2017. The Injury Tracking Application is now accepting 2016 injury data.
In 2017, must submit completed 2016 Form 300A by Dec. 31, 2017.
In 2017, completed 2016 Form 300A by Dec. 31, 2017.

DIY Guys here. We realize that not every do-it-yourselfer is a dude. With that in mind, we've put together a list of the best work boots aimed at women. Why are work boots important enough to warrant a list of the best? Well, more than just protecting your manicure, a good pair of boots will keep your feet safe from workplace hazards like falling shelves, rusted nails, and slippery floors. You've got enough on your plate without also having to worry about an avoidable injury.
We sorted through dozens of brands and styles, scoured the net for reviews from real women, and consulted the ladies in our lives to bring you the top work boots for women. We looked at fit, quality, comfort, and safety features including sole construction and adherence to common workplace standards. We think these boots are the best of the best, the cream of the leather-bound crop if you will.
DIY Guys give a damn about your DIY dollar. We don't want you to spend more than you have to but also want you to get the best bang for your buck. We've rated the top garden gloves so you don't have to go sticking your hand into holes unprotected. And in case you're wondering, yeah, it's best to invest in a good pair of gloves. Your man hands can handle a lot, but a little protection never hurt anyone.
So what, exactly, makes one set of gloves stand out from another? Well we're are glad you asked. There's actually a crap ton of things to consider including stitching, material, wrist closure, and fit. And trust us, you don't want to get stuck wearing a set of cheap garden gloves that will allow the things you're trying to keep off your skin from seeping in and getting pressed against your stubby little fingers.
Home security is important to everyone, and if you have children or elderly family members living at home, it's likely even more of a concern. Ensuring that your house is well guarded against would-be intruders can be a big job, however, especially if you own a lot of property or are on a tight budget.
The good news is that there are many options available for those who want to amp up their home security, from simple DIY projects that can be done in a weekend to more involved, professional jobs. The key is to sit down with your spouse or partner and talk about what you want, what you need, and what makes sense for your budget. Work out a timeline to get everything done in and do some research on different companies around town that can help you out.
Once you've got a plan, think about these options for home security.
They say a car starts to lose its value the moment you drive it off the lot. Thankfully, your house is entirely different. Now that the housing market has recovered, your home should be increasing in value a little bit each year.
The key word there is "should." If you do not take good care of your place, it can start to lose value as amenities and structures begin to age. Regular maintenance like cleaning can help a lot, but so can the right home improvement project. Read on to learn more about what remodeling you can do, including which project to pick.

Stage Four of the 2018 race, taking place on Sunday May 6, will start at the Piece Hall in Halifax. The first of six categorised climbs comes on the Côte de Hebden Bridge. The race will head up the cobbled Main Street in Haworth before dropping into Goose Eye for the next punishing ascent.
Crossing from Brontë Country into Craven, the route heads through Sutton-in-Craven to Skipton and then the next climb is looming on Barden Moor. The action will then head into the Dales before the riders contest the first intermediate sprint in view of Kilnsey Crag.
The Côte de Park Rash will no doubt cement its place in Tour de Yorkshire folklore as the peloton grind their way up it, and the route continues on to Masham and then into Nidderdale before making a return to the formidable Côte de Greenhow Hill for the first time since 2016.
The undulating terrain never relents and shortly after passing through Otley the next categorised climb is on the cards at Otley Chevin. If that wasn't enough, the Côte de Black Hill Road must also be crested before the race sweeps into Leeds and reaches a rip-roaring conclusion on The Headrow - on exactly the same spot as where the Tour de France started in 2014.
The stage has been named 'The Yorkshire Terrier' and will cover 189.5km.

While still in training in Pyote, Texas, the crew spent time at a local bar. Pilot Herman "Butch" Beuchat would often have trouble getting his copilot Everett Phillips out of bed the next morning. Once Beuchat tried to wake Phillips, and Phillips blew in his face. Beuchat replied "Man, you have dog breath" - and the nose art was born.

Pyote Army Air Field was established as a B-17 Flying Fortress crew training base during World War II. Initially newly established bomber groups were trained at Pyote, then it was switched to training replacement aircrew members that were deployed to combat units overseas. Initially, Pyote Army Airbase was assigned to Second Air Force, then in April 1944 to USAAF Continental Air Forces training command. Two main runways, each about 8,000 feet long and 150 feet wide, and a taxiway formed a triangle pattern on the flat, arid land. Construction of the facilities, including five large hangars, shops, warehouses and living quarters, began on 5 September 1942.

Hair at the Orpheum
by John Olive • March 1, 2011 • 0 Comments
Hair, produced by the Hennepin Theater Trust at the Orpheum. Photo by Joan Marcus.
I was an earnest schoolboy in a small southern Minnesota town when Hair (at the Orpheum, through March 6, produced by the Hennepin Theater Trust) first came out. It blew me away. I never saw the actual show, of course; I only had the cast album. Still, lyrics like "this is the dawning of the age of Aquarius" seemed a realistic portrayal of a brave new world being constructed in faraway and exotic New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles. There was genuine sexual discovery in super-charged songs like "Black Boy/White Boy." There were no drugs where I lived, so most of my information came from stoner ditties like "Hashish." Most significantly, the war in Viet Nam raged endlessly and there was passionate urgency in the anti-war sensibility pervading this play.
I believed.
A few years have passed (I don't like to think how many) and Hair is receiving an excellent revival. Produced by the Public Theater in New York, the play moved to Broadway for a nice run. Now a touring version has arrived in Minneapolis for a quick one week run at the Orpheum. What seemed in the 60s a harbinger of great change has been revealed as a sweet fantasy. Still, the fantasy has power and the great "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical" (as it's humbly sub-titled) can still pack the baby-boomers in – even at 88 bucks a seat.
For one major reason: this show's music really holds up. Composed by Galt MacDermot with book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, Hair's songs soar. None are deep – there isn't enough of a developed story for this – but they do work, tune after tuneful tune. Many have become classics: "Let The Sun Shine In," "Good Morning Starshine," the eponymous "Hair," the fervent "Aquarius." Maybe the counterculture Hair delineates is fakey, glitzed up and ersatz. I don't care: my toes rarely stopped tapping and a silly smile almost never left my face.
The players in this revival, none of whom were alive during the period in question, have at this material with gusto and energy. NYC is filled with performers who can act, sing their hearts out, and have a lithe athletic stage presence that fills large hoary theaters like the Orpheum. We reap the benefits of this in Hair. Director Diane Paulus moves her ragged Tribe of free spirits with effortless and streamlined focus. She directs the comic bits with flair and, most of all, she lets the music shine.
The story? There isn't much of one: Claude (Paris Remillard) has received his "Greetings!" draft notice and wrestles with the big question: what to do. He asks, of all people, the peripatetic "Bananas" Berger (Steel Burkhardt) for advice (he'd have better luck asking a stray fox terrier for helpful hints). Berger's sorta girlfriend Sheila (Caren Lyn Tackett) sings the lilting and lovely "Easy To Be Hard" after he thoughtlessly destroys a gift. Woof (Matt DeAngelis) describes his super-heated jones for Mick Jagger. And so on. Finally, Claude goes down to the draft center, Tribe in tow (for a protest), and makes his decision.
Hair is essentially a revue; the story material simply provides a structure on which the songs are hung. Overlong? Possibly, but who cares. The music is terrific and the Tribe handles it gorgeously.

So I wanted to blog about some deep thoughts I had after reading the Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, never could quite get it right hence I procrastinated and other things I wanted to write about started to get backlogged which made me procrastinate even more.
Story of my life eh?
So here's to getting on with writing, even though it's not perfect.
Because here's to getting things done.


Essential cinema: Gyula Gazdag's 1985 documentary focuses upon a group embarking on a tour to Auschwitz and Birkenau – a group made up of former inmates and their sons and daughters. The PACKAGE TOUR asks why these people have come back – to remember? To try to understand how it could happen? Could it possibly happen again? It is a film of wrinkled faces, furrowed foreheads and words spoken by people struggling to suppress their emotions.

I'm a hopeless nester trying to keep up with my constantly evolving taste.
Every time you walk into my house, it will look different because I've changed something or tried something new. Something that feels more fringe, yet more cozy. More bold, yet more peaceful.
The goal is really to create a home that feels timeless. A house that I like today and that I'll like when I look back on in pictures in 30 years. Finding that is tough. It's some balance between putting in effort and being bold, but not trying too hard. Like, why did I hang a vintage boot from my ceiling in the kitchen? That doesn't even make sense.
I may never get there, but I sure enjoy the journey. All these projects, whether they turn out great or fugly, are food for creativity and for a love of crafting. The sense of accomplishment that comes from do-it-yourself projects is addicting. You feel creative, powerful, authentic, and you usually save money in the process. My favorites are the ones that not only look pretty, but also serve a purpose.
I hate it in the winter when my garden dies. My lush garden that was once green and colorful turns into a brown mess of sticks. No more gardening outdoors. No more veggies.
You become dependent on your garden, even on the little herbs! Individual packages of herbs are expensive at the store, and cooking isn't as tasty without them.
To fill the gardening void, save some money and make my house prettier, I made an indoor hanging herb garden. It's definitely one of those pretty-and-useful projects that I talked about earlier.
Disclaimer: Herbs need a good source of sunlight, so this will work best if you can find a south-facing window in your house.
1. Tape the inside edge of your pots to keep paint from seeping into the soil, then spray paint clay pots white and let them dry completely.
2. *Optional: only if you're adding an accent color to pots* Place rubber band around the pot where your accent color will begin to create a clean line when painting.
Paint accent layer with foam brush.
3. Cut jute into eight 3.5' strips (adjust length depending on the height of your window and how low you want pots to hang).
4. Tie an overhand knot on each end of the jute pieces.
7. Use potting soil and plant those herbs.
8. Thread dowel rods through the rings (four each) and hang on brackets.


The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) estimated that Ghana has overtaken Nigeria in yam exportation as the quality of the produce from Nigeria has dropped due to high dependency on traditional planting system.
Nobert Maroya from Yam Improvement for Income and Food Security in West Africa, announced this fact in Ibadan during a meeting of the organization's experts with Nigerian seed production companies.
Maroya stated that the project had developed high ratio propagation technologies such as vine cuttings, aeroponics and bioreactor to address the constraints of quality and multiplication in seed yam production.
The IITA's project manager said that for Nigeria to profit from the huge financial gain in yam exports, it must develop efficient seed production, distribution and quality assurance systems.
However, Maroya noted that the objective of the IITA was to help increase the quality of the produce. He also said that there must be quality control in each stage of yam production.


I first attended Pamela's lecture at Ryerson University. I was always aware the effects of Applicant Tracking Systems on online job search but not to the extent to what Pamela taught me. Pamela opened my eyes to how your resume is one the most important documents in your life. She really showed me that everyone has valuable experience to offer any employer, you just have to dig down deep enough and express it properly for people to believe you.


Who Are the Climate Deniers?
I came across an interesting article yesterday in the Telegraph titled, "Climate change deniers 'are either extreme free marketeers or conspiracy theorists." Well, I read that headline with a fair degree of skepticism because it was exactly what I wanted to hear: that climate change deniers, like conspiracy theorists, aren't quite in touch with reality.
Going for Green: Do Romney and Obama Believe What They Say?
Great. Climate change is here, and it's not pretty. Even a Koch brothers funded skeptic has admitted it's real. Unfortunately, North Carolina no longer believes in science. (Never mind the majority of the Republican party).
In one of this week's top bad ideas, the U.S. is selling unarmed surveillance drones to Iraq. Let me list the reasons why this is something we should not do.


Do you have any issues with the ceiling due to the bbq grill not being vented?
This is all outside - there are no walls, and the grill is at the outer edge so the venting hasn't been an issue.
can't decide if we should buy and indoor grill in nyc apartment.
How would you use this stone wall in the kitchen?

La machine Kryha est un dispositif de chiffrement et de déchiffrement qui apparut au début des années 1920 et fut utilisé jusque dans les années 1950. La machine porte le nom de son inventeur : Alexander von Kryha, un ingénieur ukrainien vivant à Berlin. Plusieurs versions furent conçues. La version classique, entièrement mécanique, pesait environ . Une version de poche nommée « Lilliput » fut introduite plus tard. Des versions électromécaniques, plus imposantes, virent également le jour.

La machine fut utilisée durant un certain temps par le corps diplomatique allemand et fut adoptée par Marconi Corp. plc en Angleterre. Malgré sa popularité, elle était peu sûre du point de vue cryptographique. Le cryptanalyste américain William Friedman et son équipe l'aurait « cassée » en exactement 2 heures et 41 minutes.

Mécanisme
La machine comprenait deux anneaux concentriques sur lesquels était inscrit l'alphabet. L'alphabet de l'anneau intérieur avançait d'un nombre de crans variables, on actionnait la rotation via un levier. Pour chiffrer, l'opérateur procédait lettre par lettre en cherchant la lettre du texte en clair sur l'anneau externe. La lettre chiffrée était la lettre correspondante sur l'anneau interne. Lorsque le levier était actionné, la relation entre les alphabets était modifiée. Le chiffrement aurait été encore plus facile à casser avec une rotation régulière mais Kryha avait ajouté un disque en annexe. Ce dispositif permettait d'obtenir une rotation irrégulière en fonction des secteurs présents sur le disque : chaque secteur comprenait un nombre variable de dents qui déterminait la rotation effectuée.

Cryptanalyse

La sécurité de la machine fut évaluée par le mathématicien Georg Hamel qui calcula l'espace de recherche de la clé de chiffrement. L'armée américaine représentait un client potentiel pour cette machine. On proposa aux militaires de retrouver un message chiffré de 1135 caractères. La cryptanalyse s'effectua dans un temps record par William Friedman assisté de Solomon Kullback, Frank Rowlett et Abraham Sinkov. En moins de 2 heures et 41 minutes, les cryptanalyses vinrent à bout du chiffrement.

Although the Minnesota Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's ruling in Vizuete (II), confusion abounds for guardianship/conservatorship law practitioners and courts in Minnesota in cases where an incapacitated "child" turns 18, both parents have some sort of custodial rights to the child (in their family law custody/divorce case) and guardianship and/or conservatorship over the newly turned adult is sought by someone.
Guardianship/conservatorship attorneys will need to ask their client for a copy of divorce/custody decree and carefully analyze the custodial rights granted to each parent therein.
In deciding guardianship matters involving incapacitated individuals who are turning 18, if there is a divorce decree or custody order involving that "child", the district court in the guardianship action should make inquiry into the underlying divorce decree and make specific findings and an order that takes into consideration the competing guardianship petitions of divorced parents in light of their respective custodial rights under their divorce decree and the modification standards applicable to their custodial arrangement in their family law file.
More questions than answers are raised by this decision. Does this decision mean that a court can no longer appoint a third party professional guardian in cases of "feuding parents", because doing so would abrogate both feuding parents' custodial rights? Does the Court need to take the custodial arrangement in the divorce decree into account if only one parent files a petition, and the other parent doesn't object? Confusion abounds. We will need to wait and see how Vizuete (II) impacts guardianship actions of incapacitated adults when their parents disagree.

CHAUVET Professional Provides Diverse Looks for JEM Productions Livestreams Concerts
WAUSAU, WI – At 7 pm on Saturday March 21, the four members of Feed the Dog found themselves someplace they never thought they'd be a few weeks earlier: standing before microphones ready to perform their high energy blend of rock and bluegrass music.
There was no audience present, but the jam banders, who have played at clubs across the US and festivals like SXSW, didn't care, it was a chance to perform live music – plus it was all for a good cause.
The Feed the Dog show was the first of what promises to be a series of livestreamed concerts at the warehouse, turned studio, of JEM Productions. (Substyle, a five-piece genre-hopping band, is already signed to do the next show.)
Joe Ellis, the owner of the production house, came up with the concept of doing the Saturday livestreams, which are lit by his company's collection of CHAUVET Professional Rogue, STRIKE and COLORado fixtures. A guitarist himself, Ellis wanted to do the shows, for streaming on Facebook and later broadcast on public TV, to provide a performance outlet for idled musicians while also raising money for groups that support children's charities.
He did all this with The Feed the Dog show, while also providing work for JEM team members and showcasing the impressive capabilities of his company's lighting inventory. "These are obviously very challenging times and we don't want to sit idle during them with a warehouse full of great fixtures," said Ellis. "The livestreamed show concept seemed like a great way to accomplish what we were after. As a company, we've always been involved in giving back to the community — and this is the time to do that. We also got to demonstrate what could be done with our gear. The gobos, washes and split beams we got with the Rogues came off very well on camera and the COLORados were impressive set pieces."
Although the livestream shows may not generate a lot of money now, they are keeping the JEM team busy and are helping the company prepare for the future. "When this coronavirus crisis is over, there may be a new demand for livestreaming, "said Ellis, "and we are going to have the proven experience!"
A 40' wide by 30' deep section of the JEM Productions warehouse was converted into a studio set for the livestream show. The lighting fixtures and video panels were arranged to form a V shaped configuration in this area, with columns of COLORado units arranged in the spaces between the panels for back and side lighting, as well as washing. Alternating Rogue wash and spot fixtures were hung over the video panels. From this position, they provided down lighting and breakup gobo patterns on the set.
"We are new to lighting and streaming from a warehouse, so we will have to learn and adjust, but we anticipate things," said Ellis. "We're designing the lighting a little differently than we would if this were in a live audience situation, calculating camera angles and programming to maintain live show energy without overwhelming the cameras in our relatively close quarters."
While JEM Productions supplied all AVL components, the company partnered with Wausau Access Channels as a community producer. The TV station provided the show's director, as well as some cameras, in addition to the four owned by JEM.
"We had great partners in this effort," said Ellis. "I owe a big thank you to David Dickinson and Kris Berge of Wausau Access Media, as well as all the JEM employees and contractors. Our local radio station 95.5 WIFC and WAOW News 9 also helped by promoting the event. Dave Kallaway of WIFC did excellent work hosting the event, which made it stand out all the more."
Encouraged by the results of his first livestream fundraising show, Ellis is looking forward to more. "We're excited to launch a weekly program – think Austin City Limits," he said. "Our goal is to provide outstanding musicians an outlet to perform for the public in a professional setting, while also helping those in need until this passes and we can all get back to normal. After that who knows, but meanwhile we are not going to sit around waiting for the live event industry to reboot."

In '74 Srila Prabhupad authored a document and gave emphasis TOPMOST URGENCY. The document was kept hidden for decades. Those Topmost Urgent instructions were never executed. ALL of SP's Followers need to study this document & act to see that these instructions are finally carried out.
In 1970 Srila Prabhupad wrote the Direction of Management – In 1974 He wrote amendments for ISKCON temples – that were never implemented – yet on the document is the emphasis " TOPMOST URGENCY ", the most emphasis of any order he gave (that we know of) – To today that order has not been executed.
1.) It is declared that His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad is the Founder-Acharya of (ISKCON) International Society for Krishna Consciousness. He is the supreme authority in all matters of the society. His position cannot be occupied by anyone else, and his name and title must appear on all documents, letterheads, publications, and buildings of the Society.
In particular it shall be clearly understood that no real estate may be purchased or sold by any officer of the Society without the express permission of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, the Founder-Acharya of ISKCON.
2.) There shall be a Governing Board Committee of trustees appointed by the Founder-Acharya His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad according to the documentDirection of Management dated July 28, 1970 . The GBC is to act as the instrument for the execution of the will of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupad.
