IN SOCIALLY ENGAGED ART
ODESA–CHISINAU

The program focuses on theory and practice. The theoretical component includes seminars and workshops led by experienced international artists and curators as well as site visits and meetings with activists, researchers and social and arts organizations, creatively addressing socio-political issues and engaging local communities in Odesa and Chisinau. During the two-week practical component in Odesa, project participants, under the supervision of international experts, will conduct collaborative projects with local organizations focusing on some of the themes below.
Art Prospect Intensive Topics
1. Beyond Museum Walls: how museums expand beyond their institutional buildings and transform audience members into participants; how artists can become a part of this process and help museums more effectively communicate with the public and strengthen the role of the museum in urban development.
2. City Facades: how artists investigate the city environment and architecture, work with perceptions of architectural heritage and issues of contemporary urban development, and address the question of what cities and their residents remember and forget.
3. Good-neighborliness: how artists transform public spaces and work with city residents to build a sense of community and encourage good-neighborliness and social responsibility.
4. Collaboration and collectiveness: how artists work together with organizations and local communities to stimulate change and build a universal conversational tool to strengthen civic engagement.

Evaluation of the efficacy, safety and biologic effects of neo-adjuvant treatment with vemurafenib + cobimetinib in patients with limited metastasis of melanoma in stage IIIC/IV melanoma.
Patients with hardly resectable/unresectable limited metastasis in malignant melanoma stages IIIC/IV (AJCC 2010) carrying the BRAF V600 mutation, in order to achieve operability are enrolled in the NEO-VC-study. The main aim of this study is to achieve operability in a higher percentage of patients by neoadjuvant treatment through shrinkage of the tumors. Patients with operable stage IV disease show an impressive survival benefit with long term (5 y.) survival rates around 30 %. Only a percentage of up to 20 % can presently be treated by complete metastasectomy. This percentage may be enlarged by pre-treatment with an efficacious antitumor drug.
Decision of eligibility for neoadjuvant combined vem+cobi+atezo treatment by in-terdisciplinary tumor board. Patient with limited numbers of metastases and few organ systems involved should be selected, making surgical resection after neo-adjuvant treatment probable.

Men must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
With pregnant female partners, men must remain abstinent or use a condom during the treatment period and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment to avoid exposing the embryo.
Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices (IUD), and copper IUDs.
Hormonal contraceptive methods must be supplemented by a barrier method. The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
Female subjects who are lactating have to discontinue nursing prior to the first dose of study drug and must refrain from nursing throughout the treatment period and for 14 days following the last dose of study drug.
a. Patients with a history of isolated elevation in prostate-specific antigen in the absence of radiographic evidence of metastatic prostate cancer are eligible for the study.
Anticipated use of any concomitant medication during or within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment that is known to cause QT prolongation. Patients with regular amiodaron intake in the last 365 days cannot be included.
Pregnancy or lactation period or intention to become pregnant during the study.
Patients who have received acute, low-dose systemic immunosuppressant medication ≥ 4 weeks prior to ini-tiation of study treatment or a one-time pulse dose of systemic immunosup-pressant medication are eligible for the study.
The use of inhaled corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, mineralocorticoids , or low-dose corticosteroids for patients with orthostatic hypotension or adrenocortical insufficiency is allowed.

Inequities in public education
Efforts to address inequities in public education are among my highest priorities.
Efforts to address inequities in public education are among my highest priorities. I believe that there are two main contributing factors to these inequities. First, and most important, it is poverty, and the long-term effects of institutionalized racism. The second is that the schools serving low-income communities are typically under-resourced, relative to the demands placed on the very dedicated teachers and administrators in those settings.
The link between students living in poverty and our abysmal failure to provide the educational resources to help them to succeed is incontrovertible. Using Oakland schools as an example, the achievement gap between hills schools and schools located in neighborhoods of poverty is overwhelming. The County Office can use its position to draw the districts together to collaborate with social services, probation, mental health, and other service systems to help bring community supports to children living in poverty within the district. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for the County Office alone -- to have a direct impact on these inequities at the state level. What the County Office can and must do is to act as the bridge between all the systems that touch the lives of children living in poor communities and attending under-resourced schools. The Board can help the County Office to use its position as a collaborative hub, and to help bring resources to bear in support of low-income or disadvantaged students, and the students in greatest need.
My experience in this area is substantial. As Founder and President of Seneca Center for Children and Families, I have worked diligently to understand the education, health, mental health, social services, and probation systems, and the various funding streams that support their mission. In partnership with social services, mental health, and the probation department, this understanding has allowed us to secure millions of dollars in support of some of the Bay Area's most vulnerable children and youth, and to work creatively to braid disparate funding streams in support of a common goal. Some of the programs created with these funding streams have included: MST (a program which provides intensive family-based interventions for probation youth resulting in significant reductions in recidivism), counseling-enriched community day schools (which provide the support necessary for students to succeed), and intensive day treatment programs for youth with significant emotional disturbance and/or mental illness. I believe that my experience with cross-system funding may be crucial to inspire and promote collaboration between the Alameda County Office of Education, the school districts, and the other public systems.

Will Grigg may need knee surgery which would keep him out for nine months, says Lee Johnson
Sunderland's Will Grigg has a knee problem which could sideline him for up to nine months in the worst-case scenario

Will Grigg could be out for anywhere between three weeks and nine months with a knee injury, Lee Johnson has revealed.
The striker played in Sunderland's league game against AFC Wimbledon on December 15 but was a notable absentee when the Black Cats returned to action at Northampton yesterday following their Covid lay-off over Christmas.
Johnson did not give any indication that Grigg was a doubt ahead of the game, which left fans to speculate that the 29-year-old was one of those suffering the after-effects of the Covid outbreak at the Academy of Light.
But when asked after the goalless draw, Johnson said Grigg is suffering from a long-term knee problem and will visit a specialist tomorrow.
And Sunderland must then wait to find out whether Grigg needs a few weeks' rest, a few months' rest, or alternatively whether he needs an operation which could keep him out for the rest of this season and well into the next campaign.
"Will missed out through injury," Johnson confirmed at Sixfields.
Sunderland head coach pinpoints key areas his side must improve on
Josh Scowen left 'disappointed' after draw with Northampton
"He has a long-standing swelling of the knee, and I don't think he has been moving as well as he can – not as well as I have seen him move before.
"He's going to see a specialist on Monday and we will find out if he's going to be out for three weeks, three months, or nine months.
"I don't think there will be any in between – it will either be rest for three weeks and have another go, rest for three months and non-surgical, or we go surgical.
"If it is surgery, they will have to drill a hole in the kneecap so it bleeds from in to out so it then forms a calcification on the outside of the knee.
"Hopefully he'll be OK, but we just have to touch wood and cross our fingers."
Grigg has endured a miserable time since joining Sunderland from Wigan Athletic in a big-money move in January 2019.
He was brought in to replace Josh Maja and provide the goals to fire Sunderland to promotion, but scored only four times in 18 League games as Sunderland lost in the play-off final that season.

Last season he scored just one goal in 20 league outings, only eight of which were starts.
And this season he has yet to score in nine league games, including four starts.
Overall, his record in all competitions for the Black Cats is eight goals in 61 games.

Disney Stock Hit an All-Time High After a Longtime Bear Turned More Optimistic
Nicholas Jasinski
Updated April 15, 2019 12:58 pm ET / Original April 15, 2019 12:41 pm ET

Walt Disney stock hit an all-time high on Monday morning, up 0.8% to $131.14. That's after soaring 11.5% on Friday following an investor day at which the 96-year-old media giant unveiled new content and financial projections for its coming streaming service, Disney+. Investors and Wall Street liked what they saw—even one longtime Disney skeptic is partially coming around.
The back story. BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield has held a Sell rating on Disney stock (ticker: DIS) since December 2015, when he predicted that the company's cable network unit would underperform in coming years. The segment has had three straight years of declining operating income since.
Facing pressure from cord-cutting and changing viewer preferences, Disney has begun to pivot to direct-to-consumer streaming, taking on the likes of Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon.com 's (AMZN) Prime Video. Disney+ is set to launch in the U.S. on Nov. 12 at a cost of $6.99 a month or $69.99 annually. It will include new and library titles from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and some other Fox content like The Simpsons.
At last week's investor day, Disney said it expects the service to boast 60 to 90 million subscribers world-wide by fiscal 2024, though the company also doesn't expect the service to be profitable until that year.
Potentially 90 million Disney+ subscribers in just five years is well above what most Wall Street analysts had been modeling. With a price point about half of Netflix's and with a big library of well-known and loved franchises, it's clearly a competitive offering for consumers and many investors seem optimistic that Disney will reach its streaming goals. Those factors caused Disney stock to rally on Friday.
What's new. Greenfield still believes that Disney is being overly ambitious with its Disney+ targets. "While it is nearly impossible to disprove a five-year projection for a service that has not even launched, Disney's subscriber targets appear overly aggressive relative to the planned level of original programming investment."
But, he acknowledges in his upgrade note that Disney is taking some positive steps with Disney+. "While Disney is admittedly not going as far as we would like in their direct-to-consumer strategy (collapsing windows and proactively cannibalizing legacy businesses), Iger and Disney are clearly listening to much of what we have written over the past few years and appear to realize an even more dramatic shift in Disney's strategy will be required as its legacy businesses erode."
He raised his Disney rating to Neutral from Sell and removed his price target on the stock, which had been $90.
Moving Forward. Greenfield remains pessimistic about Disney's legacy businesses, keeping him on the sidelines with the Neutral rating. He expects cord-cutting to continue and only accelerate once new streaming services like Disney+ or one from AT&T 's WarnerMedia launch later this year. Disney's media networks segment made up over 40% of its sales last fiscal year.
Meanwhile, Greenfield says that Disney will need to spend much more on content for Disney+ to reach 90 million subscribers than it's currently planning. That means that either it will fall short of its subscriber expectations, or have to revise its cost guidance. Last week, Disney said it would invest about $2.5 billion in original and licensed content next fiscal year, rising to about $5 billion in 2024. For comparison, Netflix spent $12 billion on content in 2018.
"As you look back at the history of direct-to-consumer subscriber services, subscriber growth after the initial wave of gross adds is deeply tied to additional original content," Greenfield wrote. "We suspect Disney will realize within the first year or two after launch that Disney+ original programming spend needs to be multiple times higher than what they are currently forecasting."

How it's done, in Damon's own words
I remember the first day I came to his office. There was a little waiting room on the floor below, with piles and piles of magazines. I couldn't figure out why they had so many magazines before, but considering the number of times I went there I could have read some of them all.
Then Dr. Breffni Barrett came down to greet us, with his professional smile and a greying stubble. He brought us up to the office on the second floor so we could see it, telling me I wouldn't be starting the sessions at first. I understand now that that was so that my brothers could warm up to my father first; it would make me the only one in the room resisting.
But at the time I was fine with it; after all, I had no desire to begin "Reunification Therapy" with my father. I was forced to do this under the threat that we must if we wanted to see our mom, who we hadn't seen in over six months. I figured I'd just wait them out, not budge. I only had about a month of sessions until when we were supposed to get visits with my mother, so it shouldn't be too hard.
That didn't pan out as expected, but that'll come later.
A few months passed by before I began, with only Evan and Ryan having to take the 30 minute car-ride twice a week down to San Diego. I wasn't a very happy camper during this time, since I was having a hard time adjusting to middle school. Combine one part lack of social experience and one part traumatized by the loss of my support system and you've baked up a delicious world upside down cake. For the frosting on top, mix one part no one understands me and two parts philosophy to make me sit under a tree every lunch meditating, alone in the quad.
Then came the day that I needed to begin sessions. I walked in the front door with my guardians and brothers, all of us sitting in the waiting room below. My father was already in the room. I glanced through a Discovery magazine for a few minutes until I saw Dr. Barrett's figure lumber down the white carpeted stairs. My brothers and I followed him up those stairs and into a hallway. After taking two right turns, we arrived at his office.
His office was two rooms. One of them had his desk and computer, along with some bookshelves and artwork. The one you entered into, though, had a plush white armchair on your right along with a matching couch right in front of you. The couch was against a window through which a soft, white light filtered through. On your left was a comfortable swiveling chair.
When we entered, I had my hand up to my face, blocking my father from view. I said that I didn't want to see his face, so Dr. Barrett and my brothers sat on the couch. Eric was sitting in the armchair, so I took Dr. Barrett's usual swiveling chair and turned it to face his wall.
That was the first thing he had to work on, obviously. If I refused to even look at him, how could I ever be convinced to leave behind all my beliefs and live with him?
This is important simply because it highlights the magnitude that the doctor was able to change me. That there was no way that I simply changed on my own and decided it was okay to live with Eric. I came into that office refusing to even chance a look at him between my fingers, believing that what the court was doing was an injustice and that forcing me unwillingly into therapy with the threat of my mother was detestable. I left that office believing that I was fairly safe living with good old dad and that the problems did not spawn from the court but that the way to move forward lay in my mother's desperate hands.
So that was the first week. Dr. Barrett continuously told me how a look couldn't hurt me and that even if my father was abusive he wouldn't hurt me in his office. I retorted that he molested me and I didn't want to talk to him, much less see his face. My father kept up pitiful pleadings for mercy from a crime he said never existed.
I remember distinctly that sometime along these lines Eric kept dropping lines like, "I understand completely that it's not your fault," and "to no fault of your own". Even then I knew that he was pushing the blame and wrongdoing onto my mother, albeit in an unsaid manner. This made it seem more appealing to give in and say yes. After all, I wouldn't be admitting my wrongdoing; I would just be allowing my mother to be blamed, a much easier pill to swallow.
Also early in the therapy Dr. Barrett introduced me to his projector, which dropped from the ceiling behind the couch. On this he showed me the video he had from one of the first times I ever reported the abuse, at the Chadwick center.
At five or six years old, I was a bundle of energy that wasn't easily contained in the confines of the kid-friendly room. The couch there was just a sort of carpeted piece sticking out of the wall, with neon colors and abstract blobs on it. I don't remember everything from the video, but one thing that the doctor made sure stuck out in my mind was what happened when the interviewer left the room. I was just a kid, and I was leaping off of the couch and curiously examining my reflection in the one-way mirror.
Then Dr. Barrett tried to use this as evidence that I wasn't abused. He said that victims of sexual abuse wouldn't be as happy and energetic on the outside as I was, and that since I just spoke of a "hard thing" that it mustn't have been sexual abuse. He said that the idea of sexual abuse spawned purely from my mom, and she convinced me that it was true. My father brought up his defense from several years before that he pulled me over the bar of my bunk bed, and that's what had happened. Of course, this defense only covered the first incident of abuse, not the years of ensuing reports.
I still insisted on what he did, but nevertheless after a week or two I was able to turn my chair around and look at his face. I noticed he didn't seem to have as much hair, with his beard shaved cleanly off and his head hair thinning. He didn't look like the man I remembered him to be. He looked… cleaner.
At this point Dr. Barrett no longer overtly tried to convince me that I was lying and that Eric never did anything. It must have seemed futile after a few weeks, since I hadn't budged in the slightest. I knew I was abused, and his frontal assault fell miserably against my will.
Now emotional ploys started to be dropped all over the place. "Well he's still your dad," and, "He raised you all that time, and this is what he gets?" came from the doctor, while Eric kept dropping anecdotes to things I had done when I was little. "I remember when you were just a little runt and we used to…" became more common by the session, at which point I really did start to feel sorry for the poor old chap.
Now was the time for the ultimate message, the pinnacle everything else culminated into: put the past in the past and move on. Since it seemed that they wouldn't convince my brothers nor I that the abuse didn't occur, they came up with the second best option. Even if the abuse was real, it was a long time ago and we should get on with our lives.
It's not hard to see how sugar-coated this would be to three young, tired, traumatized children. Especially after, for the first time in years, experiencing what a social life was like; Dr. Barrett pinned down exactly what we wanted to do. Exactly what any kid in that situation would want to do. We wanted to forget about it; we wanted to just try to have as much fun as we could.
This also played on another basic desire: inactivity. It meant we could throw our hands up in the air and not go through the tiring struggle of trying to get back to our mom. The summer before, we had been running away to her house in the middle of the night. Granted, it was made sure we wouldn't want to do it again.
So now we just sat back and tried to make the best of it while idly hoping something would happen. It also chipped away at our responsibility to not get influenced by the doctor, so it really worked two ways.
Another thing to note is that I was really into philosophy at the time. And leaving things in the past is a major concept in philosophies too, where it helps liberate people from past experiences that continue to haunt them. This is a good thing, and I still think that leaving the past in the past is a good exercise that probably most of you reading this would benefit from.
The only problem with how Dr. Barrett did it is that we weren't leaving the past in the past. We were leaving the present in the past. In the present my mom had all contact with us stripped away. In the present I was going to be living with an unpredictably apathetic person. In the present the court battle still raged, and in the present we were being told it was in the past. That's why, for people who have memories that truly don't influence their lives any longer, letting it go is a good thing that can lighten the soul. Yet at the same time, those same words can truly reflect a false pretense that everything is just fine.
At some point my stepmother, Nicole, started attending a few of the sessions. I pitied her, mostly. To me, she was another victim of my father, so she was more likeable than this contradictive psychologist or my abusive dad. The only important thing I remember her doing is simply supporting my father with anecdotes about how amazing he is and that he would never harm a hair on our heads. Sometimes there was some guilt tripping about how distraught my father seemed when we were still in hiding. Otherwise she was just agreed with everything Dr. Barrett said.
My brothers and I really wanted to talk about the court case, though, not about our father. Whenever we brought up why it was the court wouldn't listen to what we wanted, we were told that they were afraid our mother would influence us. Then they would say how bad it would be if we ever were influenced by her, and that she was very persuasive. Basically, that forcing us to spend hours in confrontational therapy trying to change our beliefs was okay, but if we were moved by what our mom said that she was horrible for trying to change our opinions.
We needed to make up our minds on our own, after all. Dr. Barrett was just introducing us to new ideas, showing us the other side of the story. Mom had while we were in hiding to tell us all about her side of it, so now we owed it to everyone to hear our father.
Which leads us into another major category, that of the great divide. That's the concept that there are two sides to our story: our mom's and our dad's. The idea of truth was eradicated, instead replaced by a "we may never know what happened" mentality. This put my reports of sexual abuse and my father's denials on the same level, a he-said she-said. Though my reports of abuse no longer were mine, and were pushed onto my mother's case.
Ignored also was the probabilities of which is true. We were convinced not to look for what really happened; it was in the past and should stay there (Sound familiar?). There was no way to be absolutely 100 percent sure of what went down, so somehow that makes it a fifty-fifty scenario. Even though children practically never lie about abuse and child molesters practically never tell the truth, even though I had corroborating evidence, even though my father had no coherent story, even though the court had shoddily investigated, even though my father failed a polygraph test, we still couldn't be sure. So there was still the possibility that he was innocent.
By now Dad, which they made me call him, was starting to have parties at his house. He would invite some of my old friends from before we went into hiding to his house, mention it during the sessions, ask if we wanted to come. Dr. Barrett would say that that would be a good way of reintegrating since there were so many people there. He wouldn't do anything with all those witnesses.
Oh man was it enticing. A party with friends I hadn't seen for years? The promise of safety? Good food? It was so much more appealing than sitting by myself in the home of guardians that I hadn't known more than a year. Still I refused for a few weeks. Once Evan and Ryan started going, though, I followed suit.


The Illinois legislature adjourned at the end of May, but Governor Bruce Rauner called lawmakers back to the capitol to try to pass a budget bill. The special session ended Friday, June 30 without a budget for the third consecutive year—and without an online gambling/daily fantasy sports bill. The House Executive Committee met during the week but took no action on either H 479, the iGaming/DFS bill, or on S 1531, a DFS-only bill.
The Illinois Senate had passed the iGaming/DFS bill 42-10 at the end of May.
DFS companies DraftKings and FanDuel operate in Illinois although a 2015 attorney general opinion stated DFS is illegal gambling. Online gambling is available through unregulated offshore websites. Supporters estimated the state could earn $1.7 billion through legal online gaming and $280 million in revenue in its first year of being legal, mainly from online casino games and poker.
In the Senate, the legislation was sponsored state Senators Kwame Raoul, Dave Syverson, Steve Stadelman, Pat McGuire and Napoleon Harris. H 479 was introduced in January and sponsored by state Rep. Michael Zalewski.
The bill would have created a Division of Internet Gaming within the Illinois Gaming Board. It would have issued five-year licenses costing $10 million each, and would have required an advance payment of taxes at 15 percent of revenue.

"People are really concerned about everything related to this virus and the pandemic," Kustoff said. "Small business owners are telling me two things.
"They're thankful for the payment protection plan because it was a lifeline for them to be able to continue paying their employees and their other expenses. On the flip side, the enhanced unemployment benefit is too high, and some employers are competing against that benefit and they lose because their employees are making more than they would at work. That's been a real problem."
Kustoff said he's glad to be in the district listening to the people, but he feels a need to be in Washington in session.
"There are so many deep issues we need to be discussing and addressing," Kustoff said. "So many people are worried about the effects of COVID – economically and otherwise.
"And we need to put an economic package together and pass it that helps businesses, helps the unemployed and also protects businesses, schools and healthcare providers with liability protections related to COVID-19. Because the protocols and guidelines can always change, and if a business owner doesn't change quickly enough and gets sued for some reason related to the virus, he or she should get protection."
Congress is set to return to session on Sept. 14, but Kustoff said they could be called back earlier if there's a plan being put together worth voting for.
"I hope we get that call that we've got 24 hours to get on a plan and get to Washington," Kustoff said. "We need to be working for the people?"

Salah 'absolutely okay' after head injury, says Klopp
Written By Stephen Creek

J. Klopp
Jurgen Klopp insisted Mohamed Salah was "absolutely okay" after being carried off on a stretcher during Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Newcastle United, but said the forward would require further medical assessment.
Salah was unable to continue after clashing with Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who appeared to strike the Egypt international with his hip as he jumped to clear a high ball in the last 20 minutes of the game.
Watch Champions League | Soccer Live Streaming | DAZN CA
With the second leg of Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Barcelona just three days away, and the last game of the Premier League season following five days later, Klopp can ill afford to be without his side's leading goal-scorer.
But he gave a positive initial assessment of the 26-year-old's condition, telling Sky Sports : "We have to see. He got a proper knock on the head.
"He watched the game, obviously inside, and was absolutely okay.
"We'll have to do a further assessment of course."
The game was deadlocked at 2-2 when Salah was replaced by Divock Origi, who scored Liverpool's winner four minutes from time to the delight of his manager.
Klopp left Roberto Firmino out of his squad at St. James' Park, starting instead with Daniel Sturridge alongside Sadio Mane and Salah while the Brazilian continued his recovery from a groin injury.
Having seen his side beaten 3-0 at Camp Nou three days before their trip to Tyneside, Klopp commented on an exhausting end-of-season schedule for his squad, who returned to the Premier League summit.
"In the last three matches of the season we have three games in six days," he said. "It's just, wow, really hard.
"We are not the best football team in the world. We have to work for our success. It's not like we have easy games - every week we have to work.
"These boys today did it like they did it. I didn't see anybody being nervous. We just knew we had to try it.
"It was a tough game against a powerful and physically stronger than us team today. We had to fight. The boys did that and I couldn't be more proud.
"I was completely calm because it's destiny. The boys try everything, I see that every day.
"They were so honest."

US President Donald Trump makes a surprise announcement over Turkey: Report
*WASHINGTON DC: *President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday the United States is lifting sanctions on Turkey, hailing the success of a ceasefire along its border with Syria.
The president, who has been under fire for abruptly withdrawing US troops from northern Syria, paving the way for Turkey to launch a deadly offensive against the Kurds, added that a "small number" of US troops would remain in the conflict-hit country.
"Earlier this morning, the government of Turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria and making the ceasefire permanent," he said in a televised address from the White House.
"I have, therefore, instructed the secretary of the Treasury to lift all sanctions imposed October 14 in response to Turkey's original offensive moves against the Kurds in Syria's northeast border region," he added.
His announcement came after a deal struck on Tuesday in Sochi, under which Russia and Syria will "facilitate the removal" from the border region of Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters, US allies against the Islamic State group.
It will also see Turkey preserve a "safe zone" inside Syria about 75 miles long and 20 miles deep. Russia and Turkey will eventually launch joint patrols along the zone.
Trump said some troops would remain in Syria's oil fields despite a broader American withdrawal from the country.
"We have secured the oil and, therefore, a small number of US troops will remain in the area where they have the oil," he said.
Trump warned that "crippling" sanctions could be reimposed if Turkey failed to honour its obligation to protect religious and ethnic minorities. -APP/AFP

A couple months ago, I bought the EL wire starter pack from Adafruit with the intention of doing something 'really cool' with it. Alas, as with most things, it got shelved for a few months while I waited for the 'really cool' idea to strike.
Then, this weekend, I road-tripped from Sacramento to LA. And like any good maker, I tried to think of a project to work on during the 6+ hour drive…enter the abandoned EL wire. I figured instead of waiting for inspiration to strike, I'd instead geek-ify my purse. By lovingly adapting the TRON bag project by Ladyada & Becky Stern, I created the YATB (Yet Another TRON Bag).
In all honesty, it was the perfect car project. I do have a tendency to get a little carsick, and looking down at a bag and stitching didn't always help that problem. Thankfully most of the drive wasn't along curvy roads, so I didn't run into that issue too often.
Plus, I fell in love with EL wire. Seriously, this stuff is the best. Super easy to work with and has the power to transform everyday items into geeky goodness, just like YATB.
Since I was working via automobile, I had pretty limited resources and needed to devise a way to use all 2.5 meters fo EL wire. So I decided to get a little crafty on the interior of the bag. I was going for a damped sine wave, but couldn't get the amplitude changes to come out just right without tape.

SeaWorld ending orca breeding program; current killer whales will be its last
Published on March 17, 2016 in Apolitical/Top Headlines by Scott Powers
Three years of pounding bad publicity about its orca programs have led SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Wednesday morning to announce the end of the theme park company's iconic but controversial killer whale breeding program.
The company announced early Wednesday that it would end the program and that the whales it has in captivity now would be its last. That means the shows and images of orcas will change radically at the parks in Orlando, San Antonio and San Diego and eventually phase out as the current generation ages.
The announcement is a stunning blow to the Orlando-based theme park company if for no other reason than the orcas have been the symbol of the company from its start 50 years ago in San Diego. The orca character Shamu has been as associated with SeaWorld as Mickey Mouse is to Walt Disney theme parks.
"We're making historic announcements at SeaWorld, including ending orca breeding, introducing new, inspiring and natural orca encounters, and launching new partnerships to protect oceans and marine animals," SeaWorld announced Wednesday. "We're creating a new vision for SeaWorld that will help us deliver on our mission that every guest who walks through our doors will be inspired to take action to help protect wild animals and wild places."
The sea-change decision comes three years after the release of the documentary movie "Blackfish, which told the story of Tilikum, one of SeaWorld's Orlando whales, using footage and interviews to illustrate what the producers called the species' "cruel treatment in captivity." The movie ignited an anti-SeaWorld movement that has hammered the company's bottom line as well as its image.
SeaWorld has been on the defensive ever since, imploring the public to recognize that its care of its orcas and other animals set the industry standards for humane treatment, and that its marine animal rescue programs have saved countless whales, dolphins, manatees and other animals. But the Orlando-based company could never regain the upper hand in the publicity battle. Its parks attendance and earnings have fallen significantly each of the past two years and its image has flipped, in the minds of many, from the company's preference of caring to one of cruelty.
With Wednesday's announcement, SeaWorld tries again to reset its image as an industry leader in caring for animals. Indeed, the company's statement takes credit for saving killer whales worldwide.
"When SeaWorld opened its doors more than 50 years ago, killer whales were feared and even hunted. Now, they are among the most beloved marine mammals on the planet thanks, in part, to the inspirational encounters we've provided to more than 400 million guests," the announcement declared. "The new vision for SeaWorld reflects changes in society and SeaWorld's evolution with those changes, including ending killer whale breeding, new inspiring natural orca encounters, and new partnerships to protect oceans and marine animals."

Q: Is this DC instalation a dangerous situation? At an industrial plant, we have three electrolytic cells supplied with a 6 V Rectifier (max current 10 kA).
Each of the three cells is currently absorbing ~1000 A at 6 V through 8 240 mm² copper cables (for each one).
My concern is with safety because the connection points are now reachable by operators. We are thinking on how much effort should we put into insulating and securing the instalation but I am thinking, isn't 6 V safe for any human to touch a conductor (and not being earth protected) or even grab the two poles? I know the current can be high but as far as I know a human being would not absorb a dangerous amount of current at 6 V.

A: Nothing much should happen from touching it, but you wouldn't want someone dropping a set of keys on it. Insulate it.

A: 6 V is well below the voltage reckoned to be 'touch safe' by most authorities.
However, it would make a real mess of a spanner or other metallic tool dropped across the terminals. You need to take steps to ensure that nothing metallic can accidentally contact them.
Insulation is one way. Constructing suitable guards is another.

A: A screwdriver or wrench shorting the terminals will explode into gas and sputter hot particles into plastic safety lenses over a 2m distance easily.
Inductance will then create kV fly back when the current stops abruptly.
You decide what is safe and how to manage that with suitable protection.

Auction - This format is the one most people are thinking about when they first use eBay. Auctions run for a maximum of 10 days. The winning bidder is obligated to buy.
Fixed-Price - More and more sellers are using the fixed-price format whereby the seller sets a fixed price for the item to be sold.
Store - To a buyer, store format looks exactly like fixed-price format. To the seller, there are some differences in the fees charged by eBay. The primary thing affecting a buyer is the way eBay searches for items. Unless you specify otherwise, you may not see "store" items in your search results. On the "Advanced Search" page there is an option to include store inventory in your searches. Fixed-price and store listings run for a maximum of 30 days, although many sellers renew the listings for one or more additional 30-day periods.
Auctions offer the opportunity for bargain prices for some items. However, a bidder must wait until the auction ends to see who is successful. If you have been bidding on items lately, you may have noticed that several bidders may bid in the last five seconds or so. This technique, called "slamming", has become more prevalent lately. If you have lost an item in such a situation, you may have thought that there were several bidders lurking out there, all hitting the "Enter" key to submit their bids simultaneously. However, it is likely that some or all of these last second bidders used one of several services available on the Internet that submit last second bids automatically on behalf of such bidders. Check out http://www.bidslammer.com/ for example.
Fixed-price and store items offer the benefit of selecting an item immediately with no waiting. You know what you are going to pay up front and you can "Buy it Now".
Which way is best? It all depends upon your time frame, your patience, your need to find just the right item, your price flexibility, etc. You be the judge.

It's been a momentous year for the International Council for Science. As it comes to a close, we look back at some of the highlights of the year in images.
Photo Pichi Chuang
In January 2017, discussions to shape the High Level Draft Strategy of the new Council kicked off in earnest with a workshop that brought together high-level experts, partners, and members of the Strategy Working Group.
On May 12 we were excited to launch our fully redesigned website. It boasts a faster, mobile-friendly and intuitive user interface.
Also in May, we released our new flagship report on SDG interactions. The report, entitled 'A Guide to SDG interactions: from Science to Implementation,' offers a blueprint to help countries implement and achieve the 17 goals and the 169 targets that sit underneath them.
In June we were very sad to say goodbye to Rohini Rao, Administrative Officer, who joined ICSU in 1985 – 32 years ago!
Gordon McBean, Alberto Martinelli, and Prof Yuan Tseh Lee at the dinner.
In October we traveled to Taipei for a series of historic meetings that kicked off with a wonderful dinner at the Taipei Guest House.
Group photo from the joint ICSU-ISSC meeting in Taipei, October 2017.
On October 26, members of ICSU and the ISSC voted a resounding yes to merge and become the International Science Council in 2018.
The successful vote opens the door to the next phase of the merger, starting with an electronic vote for all members in May 2018 and culminating in a founding General Assembly 3-5 July in Paris, France.

Discussion in 'Behaviour' started by gailrobinson, Jan 19, 2011.
Our behaviour expert Tom Bennett is running a weekend behaviour management workshop on Saturday January 29.
As Tom explains: "'Every teacher gets a rough ride with some classes - but there are simple things every teacher can do, no matter what your background, size or personality, to teach the kids that you're in charge. Good learning only comes after good behaviour, so don't struggle alone, or feel like you're letting everyone down: come along to my behaviour seminar, where you'll learn how to be a successful classroom ringmaster"
All participants will get a chance to discuss their individual issues, and learn about classic behaviour management techniques that actually work in real classes, not the classes the adverts show you. And you'll leave with strategies that you can pack in your school bag, and use the minute you get back.
This sounds amazing but I can't get to London. Any chance that this workshop may eventually make its way up north?
thank you for this feedback. We are looking into holding further seminars around the country but haven't got anything specific scheduled yet. If you email advice@tes.co.uk and ask to be added to our mailing list we'll let you know as soon as new dates and locations are added.
Is Tom available to visit schools for inset?
