A real-time clock (RTC) is a battery-powered clock that is included in a microchip in a computer motherboard. This microchip is usually separate from the microprocessor and other chips and is often referred to simply as "the CMOS" (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor). A small memory on this microchip stores system description or setup values - including current time values stored by the real-time clock. The time values are for the year, month, date, hours, minutes, and seconds. When the computer is turned on, the Basic Input-Output Operating System (BIOS) that is stored in the computer's read-only memory (ROM) microchip reads the current time from the memory in the chip with the real-time clock.
can I use my unit without RTC?

In memoriam: Professor Jorma Larimo
Jorma Larimo, Professor of International Marketing at the University of Vaasa, died of a sudden illness in Vaasa on 3 January 2022. He was born in Vaasa on 29 September 1954.
Jorma Larimo was an internationally renowned and widely published researcher whose scientific expertise was trusted around the world. He was active in several international scientific organisations and networks and on the editorial boards of leading scientific journals in his field. He was also a much loved colleague, teacher and mentor who will be missed not only by his colleagues but also by many current and former students from Finland and abroad.
In his research, Jorma focused in particular on the internationalisation of small- and medium-sized industrial enterprises and foreign joint ventures and acquisitions. His most recent major research project was on international divestment and relocation decisions.
Jorma Larimo received his doctorate in 1993 from the University of Vaasa, where he held a number of positions over a career spanning four decades. He was appointed Professor of International Marketing in 2001. He had the title of docent from Aalto University and the University of Turku. From 2010 to 2015, he held a part-time professorship at the University of Tartu in Estonia.
Jorma made a significant contribution to the internationalisation of the University of Vaasa, both as a professor in his own field, as a developer of the university's research training and as a promoter of international university cooperation. The several years, he was Director of the Graduate School and Head of the Doctoral Programme in Business Studies at the University of Vaasa. He also served as Director of the FIGSIB, a national doctoral programme in international business. For many years, he was Finland's national representative on the board of EIBA (European International Business Academy).
He participated in the university administration as Vice Dean of the Faculty of Business Studies in 2012–2016, in 2017 as Dean of the Faculty and later as Vice Dean of the School of Marketing and Communication. He was also head of the university's International Business and Marketing Strategies Research Group.
As a professor, he created extensive international networks. He organised Vaasa Conferences on International Business, which brought hundreds of top researchers to the city. These have been the largest regular meetings of this field in the Nordic countries.
Over the 40 years we have worked together, we have come to know Jorma as a hard-working, determined and reliable colleague. His approach to research and the scientific community was characterised by intense dedication. Organisational skills, persistence, optimisation of time and regularity were Jorma's hallmarks. These were qualities that both doctoral students and international colleagues could rely on.
His family – Marjatta, Ilkka, Leena and Anni – were the most precious things in Jorma's life. In their free time, Jorma and Marjatta were most likely to be found at their cottage in nearby Karperö. It provided a respite and an important counterbalance to the pressures of work. Jorma's free time was also marked by listening to a wide variety of music and playing ball games regularly. He made a great number of friends in volleyball, badminton and tennis.
Jorma's office, filled with publications, now feels sadly empty. However, the results of his must work will continue to have an impact and Jorma will live long in our memories.
Pirjo and Martti Laaksonen
Dean, Professor Pirjo Laaksonen and Emeritus Professor Martti Laaksonen are long-term colleagues of the late Professor Larimo.
How will the Covid-19 pandemic affect international business? - Vaasa Conference on International Business starts on Tuesday for the 16th time

Olvera Street Muertos Artwalk: 30+ Local Artists
Creativity and calacas mingle at this merry seasonal shop-and-see event.
By Alysia Gray Painter • Published October 5, 2017 • Updated on October 5, 2017 at 12:22 pm
An ethereal and inspiring piece of Día de los Muertos art?
It isn't something we only admire on the first or second day of November. For a pair of skeleton figures doing the tango upon our bookshelf, or a colorful couch pillow imprinted with a skull, is a comforting reminder of the artist who created it as well as the larger ideas flowing through the Day of the Dead.
And such joyful, life-affirming reminders around the house are, of course, pertinent and precious throughout the year.
Eager to discover your next piece of calaca-covered clothing or pair of skull earrings? Find it at the Olvera Street Muertos Artwalk on Saturday, Oct. 7.
It's the 4th outing for this seasonal treat, a daylong festivity that spotlights local artists, craftspeople, and the performers bring time-honored dances, songs, and stories to attendees seeking the spirit of the celebration.
The artwork for sale? It's original, and you'll be able to thank the artist in person, and perhaps discover how the piece you fell in love with came about, which only further adds to the layers of meaning behind your new treasure.
Art by Anna Alvarado, Folklor Accessories, and Tu Abuelita are just three of the many participants on tap to attend in 2017.
Want to find new things to do in Los Angeles? The Scene's lifestyle stories have you covered. Here's your go-to source on where the fun is across SoCal and for the weekend.

The cost to attend? Totally free. And the hours are lengthy, too: 10 a.m. to just around sundown, so 7 in the evening.
That's an hour, come the autumn, that feels as though those who went before us might be walking alongside us. And, as Día de los Muertos draws closer, some say that mysterious feeling is further heightened.
To honor this occasion, which is beautifully and emotionally observed throughout Mexico as November draws near, start by honoring an artist who is in touch with what the holiday symbolizes, with its many rich layers, and its sorrows, joys, and history, too.


Gemini Man was truly a revamp on the David McCallum sequence, The Invisible Man, that had aired the year before. Leslie Stevens who had created such classic reveals as The Outer Limits and had written episodes of McCloud and It Takes a Thief was known as into make the show into one thing that might be sustainable week after week. Gone was the everlasting invisibility, Casey might flip his on and off at will. Casey was a swashbuckler, a hero, whereas, Weston (McCallum's character) was a dour scientist who was on the run from just about everybody.


This project was geared towards maximising the value of this beautiful Primrose Hill property. We had already worked with the client on the full refurbishment and enlargement of this garden maisonette, and were invited several years later to work on its interior design in order to achieve a complete and attractive character. When the client decided to move away from London we were engaged to style and dress the property for sale presentation which maximised the interest in the property and, ultimately, its successful sale.

Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, Inc., also known as "ADF," is the legal structure for a Neopagan Druidic religion based on the beliefs and practices of the ancient Indo-Europeans, adapted to the needs and sensibilities of modern people. We are a nonprofit religious, scientific, educational, artistic, and charitable corporation, organized to practice the full spectrum of legal activities practiced by any religious organization. As we define it, Neopagan Druidism is a polytheistic, non-dualist, non-sexist, non-racist, scientific, holistic, and ecologically oriented faith. We are dedicated to the preservation of our Holy Mother Earth, the full achievement of human potential, the revival of the worship of the Old Gods in a modern context, and the creation of a world of peace, love, freedom, health, and prosperity for all intelligent beings.
To accomplish the goals outlined above, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, many sciences, arts, and disciplines, both mainstream and alternative, within a non-dogmatic, pluralistic context, in order to change ourselves, each other, and the world around us.
Since one of the primary duties of the ancient Druids was to lead their tribes in magical and religious activities, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, open, inclusionary, and public ceremonies to worship the Earth Mother and the Old Gods and Goddesses, rites of passage to mark the cycles of our lives, and magical rituals to accomplish our other goals in an honest and ethical manner.
Since the ancient Druids were the intellectuals of their tribes, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, scientific and scholarly research and debate about the ancient Druids, the Indo-Europeans, comparative religion, folklore, ethnomusicology, and every other relevant field of human knowledge.
In keeping with our reverence for and worship of the Earth Mother, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, ecological and environmental research, education, and active stewardship.
Since the ancient Druids were the artists of their tribes, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, a wide variety of auditory, graphic, movement, dramatic, liturgical, and other arts and crafts.
Since the ancient Druids included many healers in their ranks, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, the investigation, dissemination, and performance of a wide variety of healing arts and technologies, both mainstream and alternative, including herbal, nutritional, mental, magical, and spiritual methods, among others; advising all parties concerned as to the presence or absence of appropriate credentials as required by civil law.
Since the ancient Druids included diviners in their ranks, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, the use of the divinatory arts and sciences as tools for spiritual counseling and liturgical guidance; advising all parties concerned as to the presence or absence of appropriate credentials as required by civil law.
Since the ancient Druids included counselors, mediators, and judges in their ranks, ADF advocates and practices, as an integral part of our faith, the investigation, dissemination, and performance of a wide variety of counseling arts and methods, both mainstream and alternative, as well as techniques of mediating disputes and judging conflicts between organizations and/or individuals in the Neopagan community; advising all parties concerned as to the presence or absence of appropriate credentials as required by civil law.
The principal office of the Corporation shall be located in the City of Newark, County of New Castle, in the State of Delaware, USA. The Corporation may have other such offices, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Directors may designate or the business of the Corporation may require from time to time.
The supreme governing document of Ár nDraíocht Féin is this Constitution. In the event of a contradiction between any other documents and this Constitution, the Constitution will take precedence.
For ceremonial purposes, local congregations shall celebrate each of the eight High Days within one week prior to or after the aforementioned dates, or at some other time determined by Board-established policy.
The ceremonial year of ADF shall begin on the first day of November and end on the thirty-first day of October in each civil year.
Membership and rank in ADF, attendance at public or semipublic ADF activities, and participation in any Druidic Study Program, shall not be denied to any person on the basis of race, ancestry, color, physical disability (except as mentioned elsewhere in this article), age, gender, or affectional orientation, but may be denied to individuals practicing creeds inimical to Neopagan Druidism.
Membership within the Board of Directors, the Clergy, and other such positions of responsibility and trust as the Board of Directors may determine, shall be granted only to practicing Neopagans who are not simultaneously practicing a creed inimical to Neopagan Druidism.
As used herein, "inimical creeds" shall include varieties of conservative monotheism, atheism, demonism, racialism, or other such faiths, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors.
Proven communication or behavior that discriminates against any person based on sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, disability, or any otherwise virulently offensive language shall be grounds for expulsion from ADF. This does not include strong verbal statements about the theology, history, or psychological characteristics of other religions.
All organizers of public and semipublic ADF activities shall make strenuous efforts to facilitate the participation of differently-abled individuals. Nonetheless, all aspirants to any given rank or position must be able to meet all the relevant qualifications previously determined for said rank or position, unless the Board of Directors shall rule otherwise in a particular instance.
This initial Constitution shall be approved by a 3/4 vote of the Board of Directors.
This Constitution shall only be amended by a referendum of the full membership of ADF.
Amendments must be approved by at least three-quarters of the total votes cast.


The first Saturday I spent in Cape Town we went to Oranjezicht City Farm Market. I had no expectations for this market, and maybe that's why it turned out to be such a great experience as well. It's located at Sea Point, so would encourage to walk the Promenade to get there! The market is basically a weekly farmers' market offering produce, breads, eggs & dairy products, flowers and plans, plus artisanal foods. I had some typical South African food, we took some photos among the plants and veggies, and wandered around.
The Old Biscuit Mill is located in a really old part of Cape Town called Woodstock. Woodstock is an edgy, evolving neighborhood where hipster cafes, veggie eateries and galleries occupy old factories covered with vivid murals. Would say this market is my favorite this far, because of the total vibe of it. It's got a great area with music where you can chill in the sun, a huge section with lots of great foods and drinks of all sorts, and another section with eco-friendly jewellery and clothes. I haven't bought a thing for about a year, but when I came here I allowed myself to buy a jacket and some jewellery to support local businesses and disadvantaged communities. In that way I know that what adds value to me also adds value to someone else by me purchasing it. In total, I would really recommend The Old Biscuit Mill based on my experience!
Watershed & V&A Food Market is a must visit if you're in the Waterfront area – the main tourist area. These markets are a bit more set up and not that casual than other markets because they're open every single day during the week. Would maybe prefer the Food Market over the Watershed. At the Food Market, make sure to try Life Unframed Ice Cream – an eco-friendly and vegan ice cream!

Kompli Global – Planet Compliance RegTech Interview (2021)
Let start with a brief introduction, what can you tell us about Kompli Global and your RegTech offering?
Kompli-Global has developed a specialist corporate due diligence solution comprising of unique proprietary products, linked to best in class third party services to deliver a comprehensive, international customer on-boarding, screening and on-going monitoring platform.
Kompli-Global bridges the gaps that exist in current databases to enable far more accurate, comprehensive, efficient and compliant corporate due diligence.
We use a combination of advanced AI driven technology and human expertise to fully identify corporate networks and alert you to potential risk indicators, bad actors and adverse events.
Our Kompli-QED platform includes all the elements you need to perform best practice corporate on-boarding, KYC, Fraud prevention, EDD and ongoing monitoring.
Kompli-Global's services reduce your exposure to fraud, mitigate against personal and corporate prosecution, protect your brand's reputation and provide cost effective regulatory compliance.
What are some of the biggest challenges your solutions you solve for your clients?
Current publicly available information relating to corporate ownership is flawed with gaps in the data and little, if any, verification of the facts when registering a company for the first time or on an ongoing basis.
Updates to Director information are quickly out of date and true controlling party information is easy to hide. No formal structure to the naming format makes it almost impossible to link ownership of other businesses, until now.
Most fraud prevention and adverse media systems available on the market can tell you if someone has committed a previous offence. It's easy to compile a database of 'convicted' people after they have perpetrated crimes, assuming they have been identified and caught (However <1% are ever convicted). Kompli-RiskCheck alerts you to people who have a propensity to misconduct so that you can act before they commit to, or are convicted of, being a 'bad actor'.
Kompli-Global uncovers information other systems simply miss or would be too time-consuming to find.
Could you give us a use case of why a client came to you and how they are using your solution to solve their particular challenge?
Sector Type: Financial Services
Client Description: Payment Service Provider [an FCA regulated entity]
Background: Our client had agreed to provide their merchant [the target entity] with international payment services using its correspondent banking relationships. During the client's due diligence process, they commissioned a report from a well-known corporate intelligence risk and compliance provider. That report contained information relating to the target entity and its Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs), the report found no adverse information and gave the target entity a clean bill of health. Our client then used Kompli-Global's services to conduct due diligence on the same target entity. Kompli-Global's systems drew attention to the following information that was not included in the previously commissioned report:
The key executive and UBO was a close financial associate of a PEP That PEP had been convicted and imprisoned for money laundering, abduction, murder and international weapons offences and large-scale corruption in his home country.
The UBO had donated £2.2 million to the Conservative party & London Mayoral campaign and had dinner with David Cameron.
The UBO had previously donated £900k whilst he was under investigation for alleged tax fraud and money laundering offences.
2016 -The target subject's corporate offices in France were raided as part of a £17m tax and money laundering investigation.
Nineteen employees were arrested and nine charged, including the General Manger. A criminal investigation is ongoing.
Kompli-Global also uncovered a news report stating that the target company in UK was locked in battle with HMRC for unresolved £26m VAT under payment for the period between 2012-2016
Consequences: The client decided that, despite a potentially lucrative deal with the target entity company, the risk to their own reputation was too great and they declined to do business with the company. This decision was based upon the risk that the relationship with their own correspondent banks could be jeopardized by association with the target subject.
Conclusion: Kompli–Global uncovered significant material intelligence that was otherwise unavailable to the client.
How would you describe the differences between your offering from others in your RegTech category?
Kompli-QED is the only platform you'll need for customer due diligence, AML and fraud prevention.
End to end customer due diligence – Holistic approach – All the solutions in one place.
Logical workflow process – client configurable – incredibly flexible
Build consistent procedures – best practise every time.
The most accurate and up-to-date UBO registry -Corporate ownership structure resolution like no other
Deep Web search for any published negative news
On-going monitoring and alerts if anything changes.
Real-time alert to potential risk. We use a propensity risk model to tell you who is likely to commit financial crime.
< 15% of all fraud is ever reported
< 1% of reported fraud is ever investigated.
< 1% of fraud investigations result in a conviction
< 1% convicted fraudsters are reported in the main-stream media.
Traditional Adverse Media providers only pick up articles from main-stream media!
Without Kompli-Global, chances are; you're not going to spot the bad actor.
What advice would you give to decision makers when choosing a RegTech solution such as the ones your offer?
If you want to just 'tick the box' for regulatory compliance purposes, there are well-established providers out there who's names are recognised by the regulators. However, RegTech was conceived because these legacy systems are flawed, resource consuming and full of gaps. New technology utilizing AI, ML & NLP has changed the game. When comparing systems, providers and technology you need to see the difference by conducting a properly scoped POC and gap analysis. Kompli-Global would encourage the 'Pepsi challenge' against an incumbent provider to prove our capabilities.
Due to the global pandemic a lot has changed in the world in the last year. How has your company changed in the in the last 12 months?
As an ISO 22301 accredited organisation, we've always had a well-documented and practised Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in place. Clients reviewing this used to laugh a few years ago and comment that our continuity statement even included a pandemic policy. They're not laughing now. The only real thing that has changed is that people have been working from home rather than the offices. Our solutions are designed to be used remotely in customer not present environments.
Can you tell us about some of your most recent achievements or milestones you've reached?
We are continually improving existing services and developing new features all the time. We have a roadmap of functional improvements & client lead enhancements and our agile development methodology means that we're delivering new products or features every few weeks.
The launch of the Kompli-Reveal process was the most recent addition to our proposition.

The deliverable outcome of a Kompli-Reveal™ screening process will be a summary report spreadsheet showing flags to where your attention may be required to remediate concerns, approve changes or annotate notes.
We recently conducted a Kompli-Reveal™ process for a large government department which concluded enough significant material information to warrant a policy review.
What is drives you as company what is Kompli Global long-term vision?
Kompli-Global is driven by our desire to 'do the right thing' in the fight against financial crime, money laundering and terrorist funding. We are a commercial organisation that needs to create revenue and therefore profit. However, the moral obligation to not just enable clients to 'tick the box' but educate the regulatory eco-system about why we need to 'do the right thing' is paramount in our mission and psyche. One of our long term visions is to influence the industry, from the regulatory bodies to the downstream financial institutions and promote best practice.
What are some of the important developments you are seeing in the RegTech industry?
The key challenges for the RegTech market are breaking through to becoming mainstream – this requires:
1. Getting better support from government and regulators to encourage regulated entities to experiment with POC's and identify where RegTech firms can reduce costs and, for example, prevent the exploitation of our financial systems by criminals and fraudsters
2. Agreeing a framework – a minimum set of standards for RegTech providers and possibly new regulation
3. Encouraging investment in the RegTech sector and recognising it needs separate treatment from FinTech
The most significant development recently has been Ron Kalifa's Fintech review – see https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-kalifa-review-of-uk-fintech
Kompli-Global's CEO, Jane Jee wrote an article about this review which has some vital recommendations – see https://paymentexpert.com/2021/03/16/kompli-global-the-importance-of-keeping-uk-regtech-at-the-forefront-of-global-compliance/
The FCA have acknowledged in the past that RegTech is underserviced in their sandboxes and they are hosting a series of events that aims to create a platform for the RegTech industry, financial institutions and regulators to discuss developments and opportunities within the RegTech ecosystem between March and May 2021. We recommend that RegTech firms attend – see
https://www.fca.org.uk/events/regtech-forum-series-november-2020-may-2021
RegTech Associates have undertaken some key research on the RegTech sector. The City of London Corporation has commissioned this research to provide:
in-depth analysis of the barriers to innovation and adoption of RegTech, including regulatory barriers,
international best-practice for enhancing competitiveness in this sector, and
recommendations for industry, government and regulators.
the report will be released on April 16th – for more details of the research see
If the UK hopes to take advantage of the lead it has in the Fintech and Regtech sector post Brexit, then government action as outlined above is needed now to achieve this ambition.
What's next for Kompli Global?
Kompli-Global continues to work with a small number of direct clients but our primary growth strategy will be through collaboration with other organisations. International expansion is also a priority for our future. Kompli-Global will also continue its goal to educate the industry on best practice and influence the regulatory institutions.
Ae you able to do a Proof of concept?
The reason we enjoy this question is that we are so proud of what we have developed, and confident in our capabilities that we love to prove the benefits we deliver.

'Defund police'? Here's why Norfolk's chief says yes.
By Jonathan Edwards and Ryan Murphy
Norfolk Police Chief Larry Boone in February. (Bill Tiernan / For The Virginian-Pilot)
NORFOLK — If you listened closely enough, the seeds of the so-called "defund police" movement were planted years ago.
By the police.
For years, the top brass at the Norfolk Police Department has said officers are doing too much, spread too thin, and doing work far beyond their core mission of fighting crime. On top of fighting crime, they are tasked with being social workers, psychiatrists, addiction counselors and homelessness coordinators.
"We're so stretched out doing other things that aren't the primary focus of (the) police," Police Chief Larry Boone said in an interview late last month with The Virginian-Pilot, weeks after the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minnesota officers launched calls for police reform across the country.
Previous coverage: Norfolk has long kept secret how police use force. Now some council members want that to change. »
Facing budget shortfalls caused by the coronavirus pandemic and public demands for police reform, cities around the country are re-evaluating the role officers play in their communities. In May, Norfolk's City Council passed an annual budget that included $18.5 million in spending cuts to last year's $902 million operating budget. The cuts — a 2% reduction in the city's $902 million general fund budget — were based on projections of tens of millions in tax dollars lost while many businesses stay closed or do a fraction of their normal business.
As part of the "defund police" movement, some are demanding the elimination of police departments. But many others use the phrase to describe a less radical step: shifting some spending from police to other priorities. They say cities should be funding more social workers, nurses or other non-police employees who are better equipped to deal with, say, the mentally ill or the homeless.
Boone said he supports giving up part of the department's budget so officials can pay other employees better suited to doing certain types of work. He listed three situations he thinks his officers shouldn't be dealing with: people going through mental health crises, drug abuse and homelessness.
"When are we going to get to the point where we stop sending badges and guns to these types of calls?"
Boone stressed mental illness. He said that, on some nights, he's seen up to 10 cars parked outside Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, which means that as many as 20 officers out of service. Those officers have to stay there for hours while doctors evaluate patients and wait for psychiatric beds to open. And when they do, officers have to drive them to the facilities, sometimes as far as 2½ hours away in Northern Virginia.
All the while, those officers aren't patrolling the streets, investigating crimes, or building relationships with people in the community.
"I really can't afford (that)," Boone said.
Mike McKenna, a former police officer who remains involved with the union that represents rank-and-file officers, disagrees. He doesn't think city officials should take any money from the department. If anything, he wants them to give more money to a force that he says is underfunded and understaffed.
McKenna said officers build trust and learn about their community, in part, by dealing with mentally ill people and the homeless.
He gave several examples of mentally ill people he regularly encountered while working as an officer. One guy — 6-foot-8, 400 pounds — would get right in officers' faces, screaming, but would get in the back of a police car if you told him to. If you touched him, however, he'd go berserk and you'd have a knock-down-drag-out fight on your hands.
Another man thought he was a ninja and would swing a sword around. "If you didn't know the guy, you'd probably shoot (him)," he said. But McKenna and others knew they could easily talk the guy down because they dealt with him previously.
In both cases, dealing with the men repeatedly and knowing about them allowed police officers to safely resolve mental health crises, he said.
The police department has made up an ever-increasing share of the city's operating budget over the past five years. That share ticked up from about 8% of the city's $818 million general fund in 2014, to 8.8% of the $883 million officials project they'll have to run the city next year.
During budget discussions, City Manager Chip Filer said police will get slightly more funding this year than last, by about 0.5%. But that was less than the 1.9% increase in police spending that had been planned before the pandemic.
This isn't the first time city leaders have forced other departments to tighten their belts while leaving police relatively unscathed — or even giving them more money. When the city saw a nearly 5% decrease in operating funds in 2011 after the Great Recession, officials approved a nearly 4% increase for police, according to city budget documents.

Norfolk leaders haven't yet discussed whether to make any significant changes to police funding. But they're having a broader discussion about reform, and the City Council is scheduled to discuss "public safety transparency and accountability" at its 4 p.m. meeting Tuesday.
Councilwoman Mamie Johnson said she would like to see the city create a team of non-police workers who rush to mental health crises, freeing up police to fight crime. She said she would support reallocating money to fund such a team.

"Is the police department the best resource to address that? No," she said.
But, Johnson added, she needs to know how much of officers' workload is taken up by responding to calls for people going through such crises. At the interview in late June, Boone said he was analyzing data on the roughly 240,000 calls for service his officers are dispatched to each year to see how many of them involve dealing with mental illness, drug abuse and the homeless. But he said that analysis won't be part of what the council discusses Tuesday.
Mayor Kenny Alexander as well as council members Paul Riddick and Tommy Smigiel said they don't support reducing the police department's budget at all. But Alexander and Smigiel said they're open to talking about how to reform the department.
Councilmembers Martin Thomas Jr., Courtney Doyle, Angelia Williams Graves, and Andria McClellan did not respond to multiple calls and emails requesting interviews.

Construction worker suffers fatal fall down elevator shaft
On behalf of Edelman & Edelman, P.C. | Aug 22, 2017 | Construction Accidents |
According to authorities, a 22-year-old construction worker died last Friday after falling down an elevator shaft at a Manhattan construction site — making it the most recent construction fatality in a long string of incidents stretching back over the last few years.
While the details of the accident are still unclear, authorities say the victim, later identified as a resident of Yonkers, was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to a report by PIX 11.
The incident occurred at a building under construction at 281 Fifth Avenue, near 30th Street. An investigation into the fatal construction fall is ongoing.
This accident shows that New York's Scaffolding Law is more important than ever
New York has some of the toughest worker safety laws in the country, including the state's Scaffolding Law, which helps protect workers from construction-related falls.
Given how strict this law is, it likely comes as little surprise that various groups call for changes to, or the outright elimination of, New York's Scaffolding Law every year — claiming it simply costs too much and is no longer needed.
What some of these groups fail to consider, however, is that construction sites in New York are certainly not getting any safer — as illustrated by the recent death mentioned above. In fact, there have been more than 30 construction-related fatalities since 2015.
This is not the time to be eliminating construction-safety laws, regardless of the impact on a developer's bottom line. The lives of construction workers are too important to put at risk simply because property owners and contractors want to save money.

We've worked with couples at all stages of their fertility journey for over a decade, working with couples who are wanting to conceive naturally, and those who are undergoing IVF treatment.
We believe the best outcomes are achieved when both you and your partner are on the journey together. Fertility problems can put enormous strain on a relationship, and working together as a team in this process can help to strengthen your relationship rather than it be a source of stress and pressure on your relationship.
How often do we stop to think - were periods meant to be this painful? Was menopause meant to be this unbearable? Do I have to just accept that I get thrush after taking antibiotics? These problems and many others are definitely common, as natural health practitioners we think it's important to make the distinction between normal and common. We definitely don't think you should accept an ongoing health issue just because it's common.
We are passionate about helping you to turn your health around so you can live a life full of energy and free of the problems of hormonal imbalance.
The youngest members of our families are the most sensitive to falling unwell in rapid and dramatic ways. Thankfully, they are also prone to recovering in an equally rapid fashion. Because of their responsiveness, children generally require a lot less intervention than adults. Our practitioners have experience in working with children of all ages, from just a few days after birth, and throughout infancy and childhood.

Moxibustion, is the burning of a Chinese herb Mugwort over an acupoint. The loose herb, is sometimes shaped into thin threads or small pyramids and placed directly on the skin, or on top of a slice of ginger, or on top of an acupuncture needle. The burning herb creates a pleasant warming sensation, and is removed before becoming too hot for the patient.
Chinese Herbal medicine has played a central role in the health system in China for thousands of years. Herbs form an important part of many treatment protocols designed in our clinic, and can help to extend the effects of an acupuncture treatment.
Cupping is one of two physical methods used in Chinese Medicine to release pathogenic "evil qi" via the skin. It is particularly useful for the treatment of colds and flu, for releasing stiff muscles, and for enhancing circulation in the entire body.
Going beyond the basics of vitamins and minerals, Chinese medicine nutrition is the prescription of food based cures for health conditions. Foods are often prescribed as a supplement to acupuncture or herbal medicine treatment, and can help you to become more active in your recovery. Recipes for self healing then become part of your own first-aid kit against disease.

Brisbane photographer Ashton Welsh has raised almost $1000 to help flood-affected Queenslanders.
He has put together a Fundraising Photo Book, giving 100 percent of profits from sales to the Premier's Disaster Relief Program.
Surrounded by suburbs submerged by flood waters in January, Ashton began his project after being turned away due to an overabundance of volunteers.
"I am simply one individual citizen doing what they can to help the community recover after such a terrible disaster," he said.
With the help of a U.S. publishing company and local publicity through community radio station 4ZZZ, the amateur photographer has sold more than 100 books and raised hundreds more through other fundraising events.
This book is filled with 40 pages of spectacular imagery of the flood devastation in and around Brisbane and it is certainly a little piece of history worth holding onto.
"I really enjoyed the challenge and enjoyed giving back to the community in a unique way," he said.
Some of Ashton's pictures are also on display at the Queensland Museum and the State Library.
Premier Anna Bligh has praised the generosity of ordinary Australians who have donated to flood relief.
The appeal has so far raised $259.45 million, with funds distributed to 27,700 households.

Bananas are so accessible and so commonly eaten throughout the world that one might forget that they are a superfood. After all, superfoods have to be unusual and expensive, right? At The B.O.S.S. Food Company®, we champion a variety of superfoods, some of which are actually quite common and accessible. Bananas can be found in our MOVE™, THINK™ and SMILE® bars. Let's learn a bit more about this yummy superfruit.
First of all, a banana is a berry. And while they appear to grow on trees, these plants are actually herbaceous, and are the largest herbaceous flowering plant in the world. They have been cultivated for at least 7,000 years. Over 100 billion are consumed each year worldwide and Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. They are free of sodium, cholesterol and fat.
Their most abundant and well-known nutrient is potassium, which is a mineral that most people don't get enough of. Potassium is critical for both bone and cardiovascular health. Another important nutrient found in this fruit is vitamin B6, which helps with digestion, sleep and mood. B6 is also an excellent vitamin for improving cognitive performance.
Bananas contain fructooligosaccharide (FOS), a prebiotic. These are short and medium chain sugar molecules that move through the digestive system undigested. Here they become food for probiotics (good bacteria) and yeast. This is beneficial to maintaining a healthy gut flora, which is important for overall health.
You can learn more about the medicinal properties of bananas by reading the scientific literature.
Bananas are just one of the many SUPERFOOD ingredients found in B.O.S.S. Bars™. These raw SUPERFOOD snack bars use only premium ingredients and are designed for your day. Learn more and shop here.


With hundreds of millions of customers shopping daily on Amazon, it's critical they help them discover the right product from their massive catalog of products.
Amazon's Deep Scalable Sparse Tensor Network Engine (DSSTNE or "Destiny") is a deep learning framework built from the ground up to help researchers develop search and recommendation systems. With multi-GPU support, DSSTNE can automatically distribute computational workloads across all available GPUs, speeding up training of larger models without a lot of effort. As a result, DSSTNE can be used to build recommendations systems that model ten million unique products instead of being limited to hundreds of thousands possible with other solutions.
The DSSTNE roadmap includes support for the types of convolutional layers used in image processing, and additional recurrent layers needed for many natural language understanding and speech recognition tasks.

Igrišče Glazija – nieistniejący już stadion sportowy w Celje, w Słowenii.

Boisko na Glaziji zostało utworzone przez niemiecki Cillier Deutsche Sportverein, który pierwsze spotkanie rozegrał na nim 14 lipca 1901 roku przeciwko Laibacher Sportverein (1:4). Przed I wojną światową z obiektu korzystał także klub Atletik. Po wojnie na stadion wprowadził się zespół SK Celje (późniejszy NK Kladivar, obecnie pod nazwą NK Celje). Drużyna ta korzystała ze stadionu na Glaziji do 1983 roku, kiedy to uległ on likwidacji a klub przeniósł się na obiekt "Skalna klet". Na Glaziji zespół ten święcił swoje największe sukcesy w czasach Jugosławii (w tym gra na drugim poziomie ligowym w sezonie 1964/1965).

Stadion znajdował się przy ulicy Lublańskiej (Ljubljanska cesta). Obiekt do 1936 roku nie posiadał szatni ani ogrodzenia. Od 1951 roku prowadzono dalsze prace nad rozbudową stadionu. Rekord frekwencji areny padł latem 1964 roku, kiedy to mecz o awans do II ligi z drużyną z Karlovaca obejrzało 8000 widzów.

71% of consumers expect personalized campaigns and 76% consumers get frustrated when they don't find them.1 Furthermore, it's estimated that more than 90% of browsing behavior may soon be anonymous to current attribution models due to the deprecation of third-party cookies. This represents a paradigm shift for everyone within the digital marketing ecosystem, especially for brands, as they lean heavily on first-party data for their campaigns.
Regardless of the challenging circumstances, brands' growth, and to some extent survival, is dependent upon their ability to deliver the most personalized, effective, and timely campaigns. As such, marketers continue to turn to technologies and platforms that power modern marketing and unlock customer data to drive the most impactful campaigns to prospects and customers. This is where Customer Data Platforms (CDP) can help.

A: <ListItem style={{ display: 'list-item' }}>

A: None of those worked for me for some reason so i had to use Material UI Icons
<ListItem> <ListItemIcon> < MUIIcon /> </ListItemIcon> <ListItemText primary="" /> </ListItem>

A: I successfully did it by using this technique:
<ListItem
    sx={{
       padding: 0,
       textAlign: "center",
       listStyleType: "disc",
       display: "list-item",
    }}
></ListItem>

If you want the disc to be inside the element. You can also add listStylePosition: "inside".

Hope this help!!!

School employees complain about pay compression
September 8, 2022 by Dan Hildebran
Oakleaf Junior High food service worker Nicki Romig: "I'm kind of appalled at the fact that somebody coming in tomorrow is going to make as much as I am, and now we're equal."
Two Clay County School District employees told the school board that newly approved labor agreements unfairly penalize veteran employees. The workers said the new contracts, one for teachers and a second for support personnel, compensate new employees at the same rate as veteran workers.
Joel Miller said that when he started as a teacher at Oakleaf High School in 2007, minimum teacher pay was $35,000, and today, starting teachers make $47,500.
My pay today is $47,841," he said. "There is something wrong when I have been highly effective every year and I make $341 more than minimum teacher pay."
Oakleaf Junior High food service worker Nicki Romig told board members that she has worked on the campus for nearly 18 years. "I'm kind of appalled at the fact that somebody coming in tomorrow is going to make as much as I am, and now we're equal," she said.

Twitter Adds 'Hide Reply' Function To Try To Improve Online Conversation
By NPR News | November 21, 2019
Twitter is letting users become their own moderators. The company announced Thursday that it has rolled out a new feature allowing users to hide replies to their tweets.
"Everyone should feel safe and comfortable while talking on Twitter," said Suzanne Xie, director of product management at Twitter, said in a blog post. "To make this happen, we need to change how conversations work on our service."
From now on, users can hide all manner of unwanted tweets — from the slightly irksome to the totally offensive.
Those replies aren't deleted. People following the thread can unlock the hidden message by clicking on a gray icon that will appear in its place.
"We already see people trying keep their conversations healthy by using block, mute, and report, but these tools don't always address the issue," a Twitter employee said earlier this year when the feature was in development. "Block and mute only change the experience of the blocker, and report only works for the content that violates our policies."
Twitter said it tested the new feature in Canada and recently expanded to the U.S. and Japan.
The findings showed people mostly used the tool to hide irrelevant, off-topic or annoying tweets, according to Xie.
"The option is a new way to shut out noise," she said, noting that 85% of the people who hide replies are not using block or mute.
In Canada, 27% of people who had their Tweets hidden said they would reconsider how they interact with others in the future. "Also, they thought it was a helpful way to manage what they saw, similar to muted keywords," Xie said.
But other users said they were afraid to take advantage of the power to curate their feeds out of fear of retaliation.


Large expansion of Riverside/West End Historic District would encompass 338 buildings. On October 25, 2011, Landmarks heard testimony on the proposed Riverside/West End Historic District Extension II. The district would abut the northern end of the original Riverside/West End Historic District and include 338 buildings between West 109th and 89th Streets and Broadway and Riverside Drive. A handful of buildings along the west side of Broadway between 89th and 94th Streets would also be included in the extension.
The proposed district was calendared in November 2010 along with the Riverside/West End Historic District Extension I, which was the subject of a Landmarks hearing in March 2011, and the West End Collegiate Historic District Extension. 8 CityLand 45 (April 15, 2011).
The area encompassing the proposed district was developed between the late 1880s and 1920s. The first wave of development consisted primarily of three and four story row houses. After the opening of the Broadway subway line in 1904, larger apartment buildings were constructed in the area, as well as French Flat-style apartment buildings. The neighborhood saw the construction of high-rise apartment buildings in the years following World War I, with setbacks mandated by the 1916 zoning resolution. According to Landmarks, except for a small number of modestly scaled residential and institutional buildings, new construction in the area essentially ended after 1929.
At the hearing, elected officials who supported the designation included State Senator Adriano Espaillat and representatives of Council Member Inez Dickens, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer, and Assembly Member Linda Rosenthal. Rosenthal's representative said that designation would protect the neighborhood from the threat of inappropriate construction. Residents and preservationists concurred. Richard Emery, co-founder of the West End Preservation Society claimed the community favored designation.
In opposition, the Real Estate Board of New York's Carol Van Guilder testified that the district, along with the other two proposed district extensions, were too expansive and contiguous and was an inappropriately "broad brush approach" to preservation. Van Guilder recommended removing from the district all the buildings along the west side of Broadway, and she asked Landmarks to reconsider the boundaries of all three proposed Upper West Side extensions. One resident who opposed the district argued against extending the district above 96th Street, claiming that the extension's largely elderly and white proponents did not represent the area's demographics.
Landmarks did not set a date for a vote on designation. LPC: Riverside-West End Historic District Extension II, Manhattan (LP-2464) (Oct. 25, 2011).

Is it really, finally, the end of McCleary funding battle?
Saturday, March 31, 2018 1:30am
By Jerry Cornfield
OLYMPIA — Is the end truly near in the landmark school-funding case known as McCleary? Democratic state Rep. Lillian Ortiz-Self of Mukilteo thinks so. "I'm pleased to report the budget we enacted this session fully funds our public schools and will put the McCleary lawsuit behind us once and for all," the Everett School District counselor wrote in an email newsletter to constituents a few days after the 2018 session ended.
She's not alone in her assessmen. Gov. Jay Inslee expressed a similar degree of confidence March 27 after signing a supplemental budget to put nearly $1 billion into educator salaries for next school year, which the state Supreme Court had singled out as the largest missing piece of the McCleary funding puzzle. But it may be kind of a hard sell in Granite Falls where the school board is contemplating cutting programs and laying off teachers, even with an infusion of state dollars. Leaders of the Darrington School District are bracing for a similarly situation. Voters on April 24 will decide the fate of a school levy. It's the second and last attempt to pass it this year.
After voters said no in February, the school board shrunk the amount in hopes of winning support this time. In the Everett School District, it's a different challenge. Voters in February approved a levy with a tax rate above what state law permits. In other words, residents agreed to pay more than the state wants them to pay. That means the district won't be able to collect it all unless the law is changed. Early projections are around $11 million will be left on the table, uncollected, for the 2019 school year, laying the foundation for a lack of resources a couple years down the road.
Can lawmakers and the governor honestly contend public schools are fully funded when school districts still are stressed out financially? That's a question the court will soon ponder. What the McCleary plaintiffs alleged when they filed their lawsuit in January 2007 is the state had not lived up to its constitutional obligation "to make ample provision for the education of all children." It forced districts to rely too heavily on local property taxes. They wanted the court to make the state re-balance the system.
On April 3, eight Democrat and Republican lawmakers from the House and Senate will draft the Legislature's annual progress report in the case to the Supreme Court. Lawmakers are going to say they've done everything they've been told to do. Justices will decide if they agree, probably this fall. Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal said this week he thinks the justices will side with the Legislature. But "is this the system that actually works? No. Let's move on and create that system," he said. There are plenty of unresolved matters.
Special education costs are rising and additional state dollars are needed. Voters approved an initiative requiring smaller class sizes but not much has been done on that front in grades 4 and higher. Rules surrounding local levies remain a point of contention.
And teacher unions are likely to negotiate contracts on a yearly basis until a slew of variables surrounding instructor pay are known. Reykdal said these can be handled when the state moves into what he calls the post-McCleary era. "I think the crisis is over," he said.
