Amazon Resurrects Orwell Annotations and Opens a New Can of Worms

In an attempt to tie up the Orwell debacle, Amazon is offering affected customers replacement copies of "1984" or "Animal Farm" and the reinstatement of any personal annotations. From the New York Times:
Amazon said in an e-mail message to those customers that if they chose to have their digital copies restored, they would be able to see any digital annotations they had made. [Emphasis added.]
It's been more than a month since Amazon extracted the questionable Kindle editions, yet assumed-dead user notes now spring phoenix-like from the Orwellian ashes. Why the delay? Amazon, it would appear, claims jurisdiction over the saving, disassociation, and, if it's feeling magnanimous or motivated, full reinstatement of user notes according to its own schedule.
Playing devil's advocate, it may be that Amazon felt the controversy surrounding the Orwell deletions warranted back up of the notes, and perhaps the restoration delay was tied to a rights issue. But even with these (potential) explanations, a "surprise note resurrection" reeks of creepiness. If Amazon didn't delete annotations associated with illegal books — an unfortunate but reasonable bit of collateral damage — then what does it delete? Are the mistakes and alterations in my shopping cart history burned into a permanent record? Can a deleted S3 file miraculously reanimate? I can't help but raise an eyebrow toward all of Amazon's services, which is a shame since I admire the company's non-Kindle offerings.

Naturally Scarce Products Call "Shotgun." Advertising, You're in Back

In an interview with CNBC, Gary Hoenig, general manager for ESPN The Magazine, says the economic downturn put advertising in the hot seat:
… the overdependence on advertising is a real crutch for media and this is an opportunity for us to actually get to the consumer and say, "Hey, what are you willing to pay for"?
The advertising conundrum is something I've run up against throughout my career. In an odd way, my focus on Web content forced me to confront the detriments of advertising earlier than my print and broadcast comrades because Web ad rates have always been low. The rest of the industry is learning what Web folks already know: ad revenue kinda sucks.
When I started to conceptualize a sustainable model for online content businesses — a project I've been working on for quite a while — I pushed advertising to the back burner. It's still present, and money can certainly be made in the online ad realm, but it's a rickety foundation for a content business. That's why I diversified the revenue streams across naturally scarce products (education, consulting, research, in-person events), sponsorships, and advertising. The aggregate is far more stable than advertising alone.
And speaking of that sustainable model for online content businesses project: each section includes a comments area, and I welcome all suggestions and criticisms. The model's fundamental concepts aren't original, and I'm certainly not positioning this as anything revolutionary. Rather, it's a collection of ideas, theories and guidelines that I collected over the years and arranged into a structure. What it becomes and where it goes are up in the air, but I found the organization and writing process quite useful. The framework helps me parse the vast number of perspectives and innovations I run across.

The New York Times examines sentiment analysis:
An emerging field known as sentiment analysis is taking shape around one of the computer world's unexplored frontiers: translating the vagaries of human emotion into hard data.
This is more than just an interesting programming exercise. For many businesses, online opinion has turned into a kind of virtual currency that can make or break a product in the marketplace.
Amy Martin briefly mentioned sentiment during her presentation at Twitter Boot Camp in June (the sentiment stuff is in slide No. 9). The concept caught my attention because it strays from typical number-centric measurements like page views, user-session times or velocity. For someone like me, who believes numbers and non-numerical "soft" analysis must exist in harmony, it injects a much-needed psychological component into the audience dynamic. This commingling of data and feelings is why NBC Local's mood tool is so interesting.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves with the touchy feely business. Sentiment's power as a data point is limited because it's a loaded concept with infinite variations. If my "positive" could be your "neutral," how can a measurement tool adequately capture sentiment on a broad, numerical level? It can't. Not reliably, anyway. Wild swings and spikes will appear in graphs, but small percentage shifts between open-ended terms are too ambiguous to rely upon. That's why sentiment needs to function as a general data point for online engagement. It's a single tool on a big analytics workbench.

"Twitter Effect" Story Covers Consumer Tech Without the Hysteria (… It's About Time)

I was ready to rip this Twitter Effect story for being one of many "trend out of thin air" pieces commonly found in consumer-centric technology coverage. But I was pleasantly surprised to have my initial assumptions proven incorrect.
The headline teeters on hype, but the story itself asks a reasonable question — do rapid-fire Twitter reviews influence film revenue? — and (gasp!) presents multiple viewpoints that don't glom on to comfortable conclusions. The piece, which is really worth a read, says Twitter might influence receipts for some films. It's nice to see nuance for a change.

"Set It and Forget It" Doesn't Apply to Comments

Fred Wilson discusses the effort behind good user comments and conversations:
But if the author of the news story, or opinion piece, or blog post, tends to the comments, replies to the good ones, signals the bad ones, chastises the loudmouth bullies, and generally runs the comment threads like a serious discussion group, a serious discussion will result.
It's an issue for the news industry because tending to comment threads is not part of a journalist's traditional job. But I would argue that it is now and they ought to get busy doing it. For one, the journalists that do it and do it well will be better read. And they'll be better informed. They'll get tips in the comment threads. They'll get constructive criticism that will help them do their job better. And they'll get leads on new stories before others will.
I'll add this: The tipping point for comments is when users stop talking to the author of a piece and start conversing intelligently with each other. Reaching this commenting utopia requires an inclusive mindset from the original author/writer/poster. You have to value discourse, not just top-down pontification.

1-800-Flowers.com has opened the first retail store within Facebook, according to the Associated Press (don't worry AP, I won't quote you).
This is what the Facebook shopping experience looks like:
Seems like you're shopping in a widget, right? You are. And that's awesome.
Shopping within a widget or ad is nothing new. The 1-800-Flowers.com move is notable because a major retailer offering its products through a massive audience platform is evidence the big companies are starting to get it: They need to sell their goods where audiences already gather.
Creating a retail experience within a popular social networking service is an important acknowledgement that online audiences are empowered to go where they want, when they want. Companies need to work with audience behavior, not bend it to their will.

Content Creators vs. Content Aggregators: Can't We All Get Along?

ReadWriteWeb looks at the increasing popularity of Breaking News Online, a news aggregator that's harnessing the power of Twitter and other Web platforms (and it just happens to be run by a 19-year-old). Within the piece, ReadWriteWeb hits on the central issue of aggregators: can they use original content created by other outlets to turn popularity into profit?
All of this is fascinating, but isn't BNO still just an aggregator? In traditional media outlets "aggregator" is a dirty word (unless they are the ones doing the aggregation). In fact, Breaking News Online does very little original reporting. The company is going to monetize its research flow, editorial judgment, distribution channels…and links to other peoples' content. If BNO is successful, there is a real risk of original content publishers objecting to the fact that someone else has found a way to make money off of (links sending traffic to) their content.
This aggregator antagonism needs to end. Like it or not, content creators ultimately benefit from the increased exposure and traffic aggregators supply. Creators are generally lousy at Web distribution because they can't shake the allure of lock in (you need to read my content on my site), but aggregators — unencumbered by oldthink — know the value of broad and diffuse distribution. Compare Breaking News Online's Twitter presence with that of most mainstream outlets and you can see the stark difference: BNO understands you have to serve the audience through the platforms where it's already congregating. Repurposing RSS feeds as tweets isn't enough.
What kills me about all this content creator chest pounding is that these organizations are missing the central point: As long as aggregators point traffic back to source sites, both sides benefit in this relationship.

During the chaos of being on tour I was asked to write a few lines about how the science communication scene had grown during the last 18 months. It left me pleasantly surprised.
In February 2014, Birmingham held it's first Science Showoff and now has an established regular Bright Club too. These brought local performers and researchers together with not just the public but also practitioners from around the country. It's been especially nice to see people come to one show, see how it works and sign up as a performer for the next one. It was wonderful to receive an email asking me whether there were any other outlets for performing science stand-up as they had 'got the bug'.
Over the last year, the city hosted the British Science Festival and its fourth Arts and Science Festival. The festival in September was a great success for the regional chapter of ScienceGrrl, who invited the public to 'Talk to them' and hosted a Women in Science Networking event. New volunteers flooded Chamberlain Square to busk science, many for the first time. The University of Birmingham simultaneously brought some science to the city centre with their pop-up shop and the city engaged with the reinvention of the Fun Palaces.
For the second year running, the Big Bang Fair has been held at the National Exhibition Centre and brought a huge opportunity for local scicomm practitioners to get in front of an audience. While some voices speak out on the tone of the Big Bang Fair, I will say that this year, there was an atmosphere of it being like a craft fair; very low budget and very hands-on; less the huge military display of previous years.
For the first time, we've run a series of events for Pint of Science, with academics and researchers from all the universities reaching new audiences in our bars. Thanks to Jim Bell, we're sending our first batch of researchers off to the Green Man festival to show families 'the future' in Einstein's Garden. They've come a long way.
Rowena Fletcher-Wood brought the story of Ludwig Boltzmann to a small stage and garnered praise from audiences. There is a video of 'Trusting Atoms' here. Vikki Burns went on to the UK finals of Famelab., and Rosie Davies went to work on the Famelab Academy, bringing scicomm to schools. Sarah Cosgriff delivered new shows nearer to home in the East Midlands and congratulations are due to two members of Engineering at the University of Birmingham, Zoe George and Naomi Green, who both won their respective zones in 'I'm An Engineer, Get Me Out Of Here'.
It looks like a lot has been done and it has! However, it is not easy to pin down how all this has happened other than to describe it as hard work done by many people. For me, I have to give special thanks to those who have formed the #BrumSciComm community of practice; not just the organisers, Sarah and Naomi; but to everyone who has come along, supported it, shared stories, offered help and brought demos. The resulting #BrumSciComm socials have had regular visitors from Universities in Birmingham, Aston, Warwick, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Leicester and have had guests from CERN and London on several occasions.
To celebrate all these brilliant achievements AND our first anniversary, we are holding the #BrumSciComm picnic on the 16th of August from 12:00 onwards at the Bandstand, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham. Get information from the facebook page. Don't forget to bring your entry for the Great Birmingham Science Bake Off competition. Oh yes, bring demos and families too. We're having a 'works do'!


Laundry detergent not doing the job? Give your laundry detergent a boost and remove difficult, set-in odors from pet bedding, sports apparel, linens and more! Add 2 to 4 capfuls during the wash or rinse cycle—depending on the strength of the odors. When your laundry is done...so are the odors. (Use with laundry detergent to remove odors.) Does your front-load washer stink? Fresh Wave can tackle that too! Wet a soft cloth with Laundry Booster. Wipe the rubber gasket, the door, and any other visible seals. Wipe dry. Smile. No more smelly washer.
Review: I add to every load of laundry. I have 6 dogs and we do laundry a few times a week for their bedding. The laundry booster is a must to chase odor away.
Review: Hello everyone! My dog Oso is a big boy who loves to play and frequently gets very dirty/wet/stinky. Since discovering the laundry boost my clothes are guaranteed not to have any odors!! Can not get enough of this stuff, all of their products are natural, they work wonders. I highly reccomend them all!!
Review: I don't do laundry without it! Best thing I ever found to get set in odors out of dog beds!


Rent a Dumpster in Atherton Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the Atherton dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in Atherton the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
Most dumpster rental companies in Atherton generally rent containers for a normal rate for 7 days, although most one-time customers end up keeping their container an average of three and a half days. When you phone to reserve the container, talk with all the customer support representative about the duration of time you think you'll need.
In case it turns out that your project takes longer than you anticipated, only call the dumpster business to explain. Most companies will bill you on a per-day basis after your initial seven days. It is important to communicate this added need when you know you've it since most dumpster companies have a restricted number of bins that will already be allowed. Most companies will work together with you to accommodate your extra rental time. If you think you'll need the dumpster for an extra week or more, be sure to mention that; rates may change based on a longer period of time.
Rubbish removal vs dumpster rental in Atherton - Which is right for you?
If you have a job you are about to undertake at home, you might be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your garbage and crap for you, or in case you should just rent a dumpster in Atherton and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better solution in case you want the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on labor. Dumpsters also function nicely in the event you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll offs usually start at 10 cubic yards, thus should you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for a lot more dumpster than you desire.
Trash or crap removal makes more sense should you want someone else to load your old things. Additionally, it functions nicely should you want it to be taken away immediately so it is outside of your hair, or in the event you simply have a few large things; this is probably cheaper than renting an entire dumpster.
Nearly all roll of dumpsters have the exact same width (usually eight feet). This makes it possible for businesses to utilize the same trucks to transport a wide selection of dumpsters. When you see a dumpster's measurements, therefore, you can presume they refer to depth and length. You may even see dumpster sizes recorded by yards. This really refers to square yards that measure the dumpster's volume.
In case you are coordinating a sizable commercial job, then you'll probably need a 40-yard dumpster or bigger. Large house renovations may demand a 30-yard dumpster, but most smaller home repairs just want 20-yard or even 10-yard dumpsters. Speak to an expert if you want more guidance on picking a dumpster size that matches your project.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your goal is to fill it up and possess the waste hauled away. But should you want your waste recycled, you may have to go about it in a somewhat different fashion. Waste in most temporary dumpsters isn't recycled since the containers are so large and hold so much material.
If you are interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many dumpster rental firms in Atherton have a wide variety of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are normally smaller than temporary dumpsters; they are the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
If you'd like to recycle, figure out if the business you are working with uses single stream recycling (you do not need to sort the material) or if you'll need to organize the recyclable material into different containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This will make a difference in the total number of containers you should rent.
Choosing the best dumpster for your endeavor is an important aspect of dumpster rental in Atherton. If you choose a dumpster that is too little, you won't have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule extra trips. In case you choose one that is too large, you'll save time, but you'll waste cash.
If you call a dumpster rental firm in Atherton and describe the job for which you need a dumpster, they can advocate the finest size. Their years of experience mean they usually get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster typically works well for moderate-sized clean-up projects and modest remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the most suitable choice for large home clean-up projects and moderate-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls which are ideal for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a big house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively large and are used only on the biggest projects such as new building.
There are a lot of things to consider when selecting a local or national dumpster rental company in Atherton. Follow these guidelines that will help you decide which option is better for you.
A local dumpster rental company in Atherton may offer better customer services that help you finish your project while keeping costs low. A lot of them, nonetheless, have a limited number of dumpsters to rent. Should you not schedule an appointment in advance, you may not have the option you need.
A national dumpster rental company in Atherton will typically have more sizes and layouts to match the exceptional needs of your job. National firms are likewise an excellent choice for construction crews which work in many cities. Some individuals, however, complain that national firms are not as adaptable as locally owned firms.
Dumpster rentals are one of the most affordable means to remove waste and debris from a dwelling or commercial property. Still, it's important for you to contemplate your choices to make sure you receive the best price possible on your dumpster rental in Atherton.
Requesting businesses for price quotes is among the easiest ways to make sure you get a good deal. After speaking to several companies, you can compare the estimates to decide which one meets your needs at the lowest cost. When getting estimates, make sure that the businesses comprise all the services you will want. More than a few companies charge extra for services like drop off and pick up. They might also charge higher rates for removing specific types of materials. By having them comprise all the fees in your estimate, you can compare the prices correctly instead of becoming mislead by a rental business that conceals additional costs.
It's possible for you to set most kinds of debris into a dumpster rental in Atherton. There are, however, some exclusions. For instance, you cannot place compounds into a dumpster. That includes motor oil, paints, solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, and cleaning agents. Electronic Equipment and batteries are also prohibited. If something introduces an environmental danger, you probably cannot place it in a dumpster. Get in touch with your rental business if you are uncertain.
Specific forms of satisfactory debris, however, may require additional fees. If you plan to throw away used tires, mattresses, or appliances, you need to request the rental business whether you have to pay another fee. Adding these to your dumpster may cost anywhere from $25 to $100, depending on the item.
Do I need a permit to rent a dumpster in Atherton?
If this is your very first time renting a dumpster in Atherton, you may not know what is legally permissible in regards to the placement of the dumpster. Should you plan to put the dumpster completely on your own property, you're not ordinarily required to acquire a permit.
If, however, your job requires you to put the dumpster on a public road or roadway, this may normally mean you have to apply for a permit. It is always a good idea to check with your local city or county offices (maybe the parking enforcement division) in case you have a question about the demand for a permit on a road.
Should you neglect to get a permit and find out afterwards that you were required to have one, you'll probably face a fine from your local authorities. In most dumpster rental in Atherton cases, though, you should be just fine without a permit as long as you keep the dumpster on your property.
Dumpster rental businesses usually have set prices, but the fine art of negotiation is always in play. If you'd like to dicker on the price, call around to other firms first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you are talking to the business you would like to use, merely mention other prices which are better than theirs. Some firms WOn't only match that lower price, they're going to actually beat it to please their customers.
You can even ask about discounts when you are renting a dumpster in Atherton. Some firms will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the local Chamber of Commerce and much more. It never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this approach.
You can also save on the price by asking about the best way to avoid added expenses (like tipping fees or overage costs) and making sure you order the right size container; you don't want to pay for more container than you actually desire.
All major credit cards accepted for dumpster rentals in Atherton.

Q: How to prevent multiples instances of same model I would like to know how to prevent multiples instances of the same model in Thymeleaf, example: display the user name on header.
<span th:text="${username}">User Name</span>

Controllers:
@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("username", "User Name");
    return "index.html";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/admin", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String admin(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("username", "User Name");
    return "indexAdmin.html";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/page", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String page(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("username", "User Name");
    return "page.html";
}

A: Spring allows you to do the following:
@ModelAttribute("username")
public String username() {
    return "User Name";
}

This code will set a "username" attribute for each request that is being handled by an enclosing controller. You can also get access to almost any parameters that are available for @RequestMapping methods including the model object itself.
As stated in the comment above, if you would like to preserve some object across requests of a particular user (e.g. fetch it from the database and populate the model with that instance) then you can create a @SessionAttributes handler or put the object into the session manually.
It appears that the "thymeleaf" tag could be removed from the question

Q: How to make the below element display above element on hover How to make the below element display above element on hover?
I want something like

 Hey!

 Hover on me!

But as far I as I searched, it is only possible with
.parent:hover > .hey and .hiddenElement:hover + .hoverElement . I tried ~ as well, but it doesn't work. I simply want my hiddenElement be on top of hoverElement by design. I tried to play with css margins, but it also didn't work, since my hoverElement is extendable input and its' size can grow. Also my hiddenElement is absolute. Simple design, input with hoverable div on top.

A: Unfortunately there's no previous sibling selector on CSS, so if you're able to change your markup slightly to:

 Hover on me!

 Hey!

These CSS rules would do what you're expecting:
.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.hiddenElement {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
}

.hoverElement {
  position: absolute;
}

.hoverElement:hover {
  display: none;
}

.hoverElement:hover ~ .hiddenElement {
  display: block;
}

.parent {
  position: relative;
}

.hiddenElement {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
}

.hoverElement {
  position: absolute;
}

.hoverElement:hover {
  display: none;

.hoverElement:hover ~ .hiddenElement {

 Hover on me!

 Hey!

Q: How to create profile in Firefox using Selenium WebDriver When we write something like this:
FirefoxProfile ffprofile = new FirefoxProfile(new File("D:\\Selenium"));

Does it mean we are creating a new Profile?  Because I won't be able to find any new profile in the Firefox Profile section.
So now my question is, how do I create a new profile for a Firefox browser?

A: The method call you stated simply creates a java profile object from the given directory of profile information which is then passed to Firefox via the WebDriver instance.
In order to get Firefox to persist your driver and make it available from profile manager, you need to edit the file profiles.ini, on my (Windows 7) machine this was in:
%APPDATA%\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox
The Profiles directory within this folder contains the stores of existing Firefox profiles, which are quite handy to copy when you want to use an existing profile as the template for a new one.
Your mileage may vary depending on your OS, but I'm sure you can find it with a quick search. Using your example, you'd then add the following to this file (where N in the header is the next unused profile number):
[ProfileN]
Name=selenium
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\Selenium

This will cause Firefox Profile Manager to load the profile and will allow you to then launch Firefox manually with this profile to configure or test it, which is what I presume you want to do.
Once you have created a named profile in this way, you can assign it to your driver in Selenium like this:
ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();
FirefoxProfile profile = allProfiles.getProfile("selenium");
WebDriver driver = FirefoxDriver(profile);

Where "selenium" is the same as the Name property in the profiles.ini file.

A: You cannot create a profile for firefox using Selenium. What you can do is create a firefox profile for your webdriver from the available profiles in firefox. Firefox profile word sounds bit ambiguous here.
To create a firefox profile in browser, refer Mozilla support page for details.

A: Following code will create firefox profile (based on provided file) and create a new FF webdriver instance with this profile loaded:
FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile(new File("D:\\Selenium Profile"));
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

Maybe take a look on the official support page for FF profile manager
or here: Custom Firefox profile for Selenium to get some idea on FF profiles.

A: Here is how I do by selenium 3 with geckodriver:

*

A £13m regional fire control centre for south west England which has stood empty for three years, could now never become operational.
Part of the coalition's Programme for Government policy document said it would "put an end to the forced regionalisation of fire brigades".
The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said the government should now honour its pledges and scrap the Taunton centre.
But centre boss Mark Healey believes the project will still go ahead.
The building is costing the taxpayer an estimated £5,000 a day.
Mr Healey added: "Let's set the money aside that has been spent on this superb 21st Century building.
"Yes I'd like to see it go ahead."
The local FBU have described the centre as an "obscene waste of public money" and a "white elephant which needs be put down".
It has called on politicians to honour their election promises to scrap this project.
Tam McFarlane, from the South West FBU, said: "Both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats have previously said this project should not go ahead.
"They've got that power now. It's time they honoured those pledges and scrapped it."
The Taunton control room will cover Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, the greater Bristol area, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.
If the commanders of the seven regional brigades do not want the centre then its future remains uncertain.

S4A – 'Ask & Act' Program
91 November 2, 2022
This is a workplace scheme where we provide training to your small business, increasing understanding of the impact of abuse in your workplace, empowering workplace Champions to have the confidence to ask whether someone is OK, and giving them the skills and understanding to know how to respond and where to refer. The pillars of the scheme, and all the other work we do, is C.O.P.E: Caring, Offering Protection, Education. The C.O.P.E "Ask & Act" campaign seeks to increase the understanding of domestic abuse and encourage violence free families and violence-free workplaces.
Violence from partners is the cause of more ill-health and premature death for women ages 15 – 44 than any other well-known risk factors, including high blood pressure, obesity and smoking. The scale of the problem in relation to business is shown by the fact that domestic abuse costs the English and Welsh economy £66 billion, annually – the costs to the IoM business community will be commensurate.
By enrolling in Ask & Act, not only will you save in direct costs due to employee absence etc, you reduce risk to yourself and others in the workplace and you demonstrate that you are a Sociably Responsible employer and a supportive place to work. Employees who feel supportive, secure and safe at work are more productive and more loyal. In short, Ask and Act makes good business sense.
Businesses have mandatory training in other aspects of safety – Fire, COSHH, H&S etc, yet the likelihood/risk of Domestic Abuse is much higher than any of these, and potentially at least as costly. We believe that responsible employers should also have DA training as standard.
"Ask & Act" is based on similar workplace schemes that have proved very successful in other Jurisdictions – for example: J9 (England), It's not OK, But it is OK to Ask for Help (New Zealand) and Cut it Out (USA). We know it works because it is a tried and tested model. There has never before been such a scheme on the IoM.
We teach the 3 R's:
Recognise – know the warning signs of abuse, understand that it is not the victim's fault
Respond – listen and support
Refer – help obtain appropriate support at work; refer to external services
Ask & Act – because asking can be all it takes to keep someone safe.
Why be a C.O.P.E. employer?
Doing something about family violence in your workplace acknowledges that what happens at home can impact at work.
Domestic abuse costs you in terms of sickness absence, lowered productivity, lowered morale; lowered profits. It can put your staff, their colleagues and your customers at risk.
There are many things you can do to help prevent family violence. Most actions are relatively simple and send powerful messages to employees, their families, business partners and the community as a whole.
You can choose the level of your involvement – from simply raising understanding to supporting local support services, training staff or implementing policies.
On average in the UK people endure family violence for 2.7 years before asking for help; data from the IoM (2018-19) found that victims here endure 4.5 years before disclosure. Previous research suggested victims are assaulted an average of 35 times before they seek help. Latest research (2018) suggests this is closer to 50 times.
While over 80% of Domestic Abuse victims tell someone, only 21% told the police. (Crime Survey England 7 Wales, 2017). For this reason, there needs to be safe opportunities to disclose in other settings. Statistically most victims tell their sisters, their friends, or their work colleagues. On average victims have to ask for help 9 times before they receive the support they need. Don't let your workplace be like that!
What you do makes a difference:
Businesses and organisations can take a lead in bringing about safer communities through workplace action.
Showing that your business supports violence-free families and violence-free workplaces sends a positive message to clients, staff and the community.
Workplaces can also play an important role in assisting victims of violence – the workplace is one place where victims of family abuse can safely access information and support.
This is particularly true of small businesses such as hairdressers, pharmacies, dental clinics; corner shops.
Workplaces don't have to solve the problem.
People just need to know how to recognise abuse and how to link in with the specialist services that can help.
Taking workplace action doesn't have to be costly.
But it can save you money in the long-run by contributing to happier, safer, and more productive staff.
NOT taking action will be costly.

According to a legend of obscure provenance, the Tower of London – and the entire kingdom – will fall if its resident corvids ever leave. One version has it that the head of the medieval Celtic warrior Brân (a name that means 'crow' or 'raven') lies buried beneath the White Tower and that the ravens embody his spirit.
Charles II (r.1660–85) is said to have been the first monarch to decree that six ravens of the Tower should be protected, despite the complaints of his astronomer, John Flamsteed, that they impeded the business of his observatory in the White Tower.
However, historians have struggled to find proof that ravens were routinely conserved at the Tower before the latter part of 19th century and prophecies of calamitous consequences in the event of their departure may be of even more recent origin.
A history of the Tower written in 1866 by its lieutenant governor, Lord de Ros, has nothing to say about ravens. In Birds in London (1898), WH Hudson merely states that "for many years past two or three ravens have usually been kept at the Tower of London," and adds that a raven named Jenny was the sole tenant from 1890 until the authorities got around to finding her a mate in 1897.
Nevertheless, much play is nowadays made of the ravens' presence. At least seven are almost always in residence, occupying lodgings next to the Wakefield Tower and presiding over four different territories within the Tower precincts during daytime.
Each bird has the lifting feathers of one wing clipped, thus unbalancing its flight and deterring it from straying far. Beefeaters are at pains to insist that the procedure does not harm the ravens in any way.

Mezuzah is of biblical origin, being mentioned twice Deuteronomy, and therefore carries great weight for any Jewish family. The Hebrew word mezuzah means "doorpost".
The mezuzah itself consists of a small scroll of parchment (k'laf ) contained in a decorative case and inscribed with specific Hebrew verses from the Torah. To be more specific, on the scroll are written two biblical passages. The scroll contains the first two paragraphs of the "Shema" prayer, declaring the oneness of God, and commanding Jewish people "to write [these words] on the doorpost of your house and on your gates" (Deut. 6:4-9). The second passage (Deut. 11:13-21) teaches that Jewish destiny, both individually and nationally, depends upon fulfilling God's will.
The parchment is inscribed on only one side. On its reverse side, only one word appears: Shaddai, one of the Hebrew names used for God. Shaddai is an acronym for "Guardian of the Doors of Israel". The container of the scroll can be made out of different materials such as copper, stone, wood, metal etc.
According to tradition, affixing a mezuzah to the doorpost at the entrance of a Jewish home fulfills a biblical commandment: "You shall write them upon the doorposts of thy house and upon thy gates." (Deuteronomy 6:9). It's a daily reminder and a public declaration of Jewish identity and faith. It is also placed at the entrance to each of the interior rooms except for the bathrooms.
It's important to know that a mezuzah is not meant to be a protective device. The mezuzah reminds people that a home is a holy place and that they should act accordingly—when you enter a house and when we leave it to go out into the world. It's a sign and reminder of the Covenant, of the love and commitment and the willingness to create a Jewish household.
Eric Block, a chemistry professor at Albany University, mentions that Jewish used to put a single garlic clove "outside a window or in a balcony just like a mezuzah" to protect themselves from Evil Eye.

Vermont Town May Allow 16- And 17-Year-Olds To Vote In Local Elections
By db
March 2, 2015 8:50 a.m.
BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) — Residents of Brattleboro, Vermont, will vote on a ballot item that would let 16- and 17-year-olds vote in local elections.
Vermont's current voting age is 18, and that wouldn't change for state and federal elections. The proposal by Brattleboro resident Kurt Daims (DIMES) would move the minimum age two years younger for town elections.
The town ballot will be held Tuesday. Town Clerk Annette Cappy says she's not hearing a lot of support for the measure among older voters.
Daims has previously brought new and different ideas to the fore in Brattleboro.

Masdar, Abu Dhabi's renewable energy company, has acquired a stake in Hywind Scotland, a 30-megawatt (MW) floating offshore pilot wind farm in the North Sea, it was announced on Tuesday.
Through the transaction, Statoil and Masdar have agreed to share the development risk and Masdar will cover 25 percent of previous and future costs.
Due to start commercial operation in late 2017, Hywind Scotland is the world's first floating offshore wind farm.
"I am greatly encouraged by this substantial international investment in Hywind Scotland and look forward to the further development of this world-leading 30 MW project, which will be situated 15 miles from Scotland's North East coast," said Keith Brown, Cabinet Secretary for the Economy and Fair Work, Scottish Parliament.
The pilot project aims to take advantage of Scotland's huge offshore wind resource by operating in waters exceeding 100m depth, demonstrating cost efficient and low risk solutions for commercial scale parks.
Located off the coast of Peterhead in Abderdeenshire, Hywind Scotland consists of five 6MW floating wind turbines anchored to the seabed. The farm covers an area of around four-square kilometres, with the average wind speed in this area of the North Sea is around 10 metres per second.
The ongoing construction of monopiles will be followed by assembly at Stord in Norway next summer, before they are shipped to Scotland.
"Masdar is excited to join the team developing the world's first floating wind farm, and to build on our partnership with Statoil," said CEO at Masdar, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi.
"Hywind Scotland represents the next stage in the evolution of the offshore wind industry, combining the project management experience and technical expertise of one of the world's largest offshore energy players – and our own capabilities in renewable energy development acquired over the last decade in the UK and international markets," Al Ramahi added.
Hywind Scotland is the second offshore wind partnership between Masdar and Statoil after the Dudgeon wind farm, a 402MW project also due to come on-stream by the second half of 2017.
Dudgeon, Hywind Scotland and the 630MW London Array – currently the world's largest offshore wind farm in operation – will bring Masdar's gross renewable energy generating capacity in the United Kingdom to 1.06 gigawatts (GW), enough power to supply 6,600 homes and displace 63,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.


A public meeting Tuesday in Largo will discuss the idea of turning Alt. U.S. 19 into a "cultural corridor," which is a geographic area that features and connects multiple arts and cultural attractions, creating a magnet for entertainment, tourism, and urban revitalization.
LARGO – Two public agencies have teamed up to create a "cultural corridor" along Alt. U.S. 19 and they're looking for the public to provide ideas and comments.
The idea of a cultural corridor, which is a geographic area that features and connects multiple arts and cultural attractions, creating a magnet for entertainment, tourism, and urban revitalization, is the brainchild of Forward Pinellas and Creative Pinellas. Forward Pinellas is the county's designated land use and transportation planning agency. Creative Pinellas is the designated arts agency.
The two kicked off a four-month planning process for the creation of a cultural corridor on June 4 with a public hearing in Tarpon Springs. (See related story.) They've also held community meetings in Dunedin and Clearwater. Now they've scheduled a similar hearing from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday (July 31) at the Largo Cultural Center, 105 Central Park Drive in Largo. The Largo meeting is the last until the proposal is revealed.
The goal of the project is to engage artists, cultural experts, and others in a conversation about promoting Alt. U.S. 19 as a public art and cultural asset corridor. The study area includes connections to and overlaps with the Pinellas Trail, one of the county's premier existing cultural assets. The project effort will culminate with a corridor plan and open house unveiling event in October.

rec. Hamburg, July 2009. DDD
NEOS 10906 [59:35]
This is the first CD dedicated entirely to the music of Mexican composer Arturo Fuentes. Ensemble Intégrales' repertoire is large, and consists of music almost exclusively by living composers. The few exceptions indicate what kind of music they specialise in, and also give a good idea of what to expect from this disc of Fuentes: Cage, Feldman, Kagel, Ligeti, Scelsi, Stockhausen, Webern, Xenakis, Zimmermann.
In other words, there is no easy listening on this disc; nothing remotely diatonic. Many would likely consider this a disc of pretentious 'so-called' music following the Darmstadt School of the Fifties and Sixties. It is true that pretty much everything here sounds as though it might be improvised, or seems at least to contain aleatoric elements - even completely random bursts of noise. Yet Fuentes has a legitimate right to write music that is not for the heart at all, but for the mind. He may never attract much in the way of audiences - in fact, it is virtually certain that he will not - but there are still people who admire this entirely intellectual approach to composition, and for those this disc promises much of interest. Everyone else might as well take the dog for a walk.
Despite the differing forces, all six works are similar on a number of levels. All were composed between 2006 and 2009, are of a similar length, and all essentially share the same aims - to explore the outer edges of dynamics, colour, texture and virtuosity. All possess a similar shimmering, edgy energy, though no obvious narrative; all make repeated extreme demands of the soloists. Presumably Intégrales perform these works as intended by the composer - the scores of some of the pieces at least must look rather forbidding. Lightness, for violin and electronics, or Formantes, for flute, bass clarinet and piano, are probably the finest works on the disc, but each piece ultimately yields its own rewards to receptive minds and ears.
Though it would have been nice to hear less of the woodwind players getting their puff back between the various demanding tasks set them by Fuentes in Plexus and Formantes, the sound quality on this studio recording is excellent, particularly in SACD mode. The booklet notes are fairly good, at least in Fuentes' original Spanish - the English version, while perfectly readable, does take more than one or two completely unjustifiable liberties in translation, often turning Fuentes' perfectly normal Spanish into unidiomatic language, and occasionally rendering it almost arcane. For example, where Fuentes writes, literally, "very similar to the experience of walking through a labyrinth", the presumably native-English translator transforms this unnecessarily, and less than accurately, into "similar to walking into a labyrinth". Or again, Fuentes: "A sentence by Paul Valéry summarises in my opinion the whole of Calvino's text: "One must be light as a bird and not as a feather"; translation: "Of these aspects developed by Calvino one sums up Calvino's text about lightness, codified in the following sentence by Paul Valéry: "light like a bird and not like a feather""! A minor matter, perhaps, but one which will certainly chafe those who know Spanish - and probably Fuentes himself if he finds out!
The booklet is an appealing, glossy affair, with a few arty-but-discreet photos. The CD case is a cardboard one which looks and feels nice when new, but which will inevitably deteriorate with use and age - for one thing, the booklet is housed in a slot which is not built to last.

Anthony Bourdain: The TV Star Who Used Food to Break Down Barriers
By ANNIA CIEZADLO
Annia Ciezadlo lived and worked as a journalist in Beirut from 2003 to 2018. She is the author of Day of Honey: A Memoir of Food, Love, and War.
When I left New York and moved to Beirut, in 2003, I gave my best friend my copy of Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. The writing wasn't fancy, but he captured a world I knew from working in dirty, drunk-infested diners: late nights, high stress, low pay; sleazy, harassing bosses and paranoid, cokehead co-workers; all of us cursing like sailors in the back of the house, and then acting like butter wouldn't melt in our mouths in the front; using food, alcohol and other pleasure-inducing substances to get more out of the highs and just to keep going through the lows.
Most of all, Bourdain, who died in June at age 61, captured the exhausting and exhilarating rhythm of pouring all your heart into producing something that is gone the minute your customers consume it. And yet no matter how ephemeral and momentary the rush—whether it's food or fame, television or celebrity, or the drug we call news—it's something we can't live without.
This cycle of ups and downs is not that different, in some ways, from war zone reporting. So it wasn't entirely a surprise in the summer of 2006, at the height of a brief but bloody war between Israel and Lebanon's militant Shiite group Hezbollah, to learn that the worlds of the kitchen and the war zone were colliding. "You know the chef who wrote Kitchen Confidential, Anthony Bourdain?" my friend back in New York wrote to me. "Little piece in the Daily News about his evacuation."
Bourdain had been in Beirut to do an episode of his TV show, "No Reservations." Two days into his shoot, on July 13, Israel bombed the Beirut airport. He spent the next week holed up in a luxury hotel, watching the smoke rise from the city below. "I was in love for two days and had my heart broken on the third," he told reporters at the time.
On July 20, a week into the war, he was evacuated from Lebanon on a Navy transport ship carrying Americans to Cyprus. The war, which lasted 34 days, would eventually kill more than 1,200 people, the vast majority of them in Lebanon, and left that country littered with cluster munitions. The episode Bourdain had planned about Lebanon's food had suddenly become one about war. "We never got to show the world how beautiful this country and its people are," he mourned. "It is indeed heartbreaking and horrifying what has happened to this lovely country—to spanking new, lovingly restored, resurgent Beirut in particular, in only a few days of sustained and seemingly senseless destruction."
The trip to Beirut was a turning point for Bourdain. "I came away from the experience deeply embittered, confused—and determined to make television differently than I'd done before," he wrote later. "Our Beirut experience did not give me delusions of being a journalist. I just saw that there were realities beyond what was on my plate, and those realities almost inevitably informed what was—or was not—for dinner. To ignore them now seemed monstrous."
If he wasn't a journalist—and I'm not so sure—he became something more than just a celebrity chef. His shows began to gravitate away from simply showing exotic foods in far-off places to using food to show us a truer picture of the world. Instead of sensationalizing or exoticizing other countries through food, he used it to show Americans the humanity of people we had been taught to hate.
In Laos, Bourdain would use dinner to demonstrate the deadly cost of the millions of unexploded cluster munitions the United States had left behind in its nine-year secret war there. In Gaza, with The Gaza Kitchen cookbook co-author Laila El-Haddad as his guide, he ate maqlubeh, a traditional dish of chicken or meat cooked in rice, with a Palestinian family who worried that they were being rude because the camera crew wasn't eating. "They'll eat later, it's because of the filming," El-Haddad told them in Arabic, in one of the many subtle and beautifully human moments that Bourdain captured on his show.
In Iran, Bourdain found a brilliant way to sum up the country's turbulent 20th century: as a fairytale, told in the voice of a child, of an ancient kingdom with "magical black stuff under the ground" that other countries wanted. Cue black-and-white newsreel footage of Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt; Mohammad Mosaddegh, Iran's former prime minster; Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the country's 1979 Islamic revolution; and the Americans held hostage in Tehran beginning that same year.
"Let's assume the worst," Bourdain said in Iran, to Washington Post correspondent Jason Rezaian. "Let's assume that you cannot see any way to reconcile what you think of Iran with your own personal beliefs. That you just generally don't approve. I think those are exactly the sort of places you should go."
"I think it's almost un-American not to go to those places," Rezaian responded.

Why We Should Worry About the Cult of RBG
By Peter Canellos
A few weeks later, the Iranian government arrested Rezaian and his wife on trumped-up charges of espionage. "I am, unfortunately, growing used to seeing bad things happening to good people," Bourdain wrote in a heartfelt article for the Post. "But this I can't get used to, or ever understand."
How long can you spend watching senseless destruction before it starts to get to you? How many times can you have your heart broken before the rest of you starts to crack? We all have different answers to that. Everybody's breaking point is different. We may never know why Bourdain took his life. Maybe we don't need to know.
What made Bourdain great was that he kept reminding us it wasn't just about him: He used his platform on TV and in print to speak up for people he felt had gotten a raw deal—people who, in a more just world, would have the opportunity to speak up for themselves. "The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity," he said in 2014, in his acceptance speech for an award from the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
He came back to Beirut twice: once in 2010, and again in 2015. The Beirut episodes weren't perfect; they lapsed into stereotypes and macho clichés, as several Lebanese writers noted at the time. But, like his early book Kitchen Confidential, they succeeded in showing us a world we wouldn't otherwise have seen—even though it's our own.
I learned of Bourdain's passing from a Lebanese friend. He did, in the end, get to show the world how beautiful that country and its people were, not to mention so many other countries, and people all over the world loved him for it.

What you propose alternatives to prison that would improve the "resocialization" of people punished in the Spanish state?
Specification assaults on LGTBIQA+ people in the penitentiary. According to the report on incidents involving hate crimes in Spain in 2014, those relating to identity or sexual orientation are the most numerous of the registered, with 513. If we continue to train professionals to deal with complaints to the identify of specifically, we will have more data to study and analyze this problem more effectively.
Investing in crime prevention, social education with a strong, rich in values of gender equality and respect for diversity. From the LGTBIQA+ community, we know that machismo is the scourge that generates the majority profile of aggressors, and not only to LGTBIQA+ people, but to any different reality that is considered outside the social norms. The problem should be reduced from the beginning, with prevention, supporting initiatives that combat sexism both in schools and in the cultural life of the country and social measures.
Supervised program of education for social reintegration related to the scope of the crime. It could be supported by related to the field of crime associations, keeping distances with vulnerable people of the association.

Stars eager to get on ice with new arrival Jaromir Jagr - NHL's No. 8 all-time points scorer
FRISCO, Texas - The Dallas Stars will have to wait one more day to see their newest acquisition on the ice.
Signed to a one-year free agent contract last summer, 40-year-old winger Jaromir Jagr didn't arrive in town from his native Czech Republic until early Friday before a case of jet lag delayed his initial appearance at the club's practice facility.
"The guy's just a presence in our locker room," said Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan, whose club missed the playoffs for the fourth straight season last year. "And when you have a guy of that stature and that ability, it makes people think you can win every night and that can be infectious."
The good news is Jagr probably won't need much time to work himself into game shape, as he's already been playing for the Czech team he owns, Kladno. With 24 goals and a league-leading 57 points in 34 games, the two-time Stanley Cup winner—1991-92 with Pittsburgh—seems to have plenty left in the tank.
The NHL's eighth-ranked all-time scorer with 1,653 points, Jagr returned to the league last season after spending three season in Russia and compiled 19 goals and 54 points in 73 games with the Flyers. He had a goal in 11 playoff games.
One area Jagr will surely help is on the Stars' power play, which ranked dead last in the NHL last season with a franchise-worst 13.5 per cent efficiency.
"We're going to put him in his position where he's had the most success, which is kind of running it off the half-wall," Gulutzan said. "He's an offensive guy, he's going to play around 17 minutes a night for us in key offensive situations and we're excited to have him."
Another key off-season acquisition, especially for the power play, is fellow 40-year-old winger Ray Whitney. The 21-year veteran, who finished 13th in the NHL last year with 77 points (24 goals, 53 assists) while helping Phoenix reach the Western Conference finals, will provide offence and leadership alongside captain Brenden Morrow.
"Whitney's going to help our young guys, he's going to help Brenden in getting our message across as well," Gulutzan said. "We're getting a great two-way player, a guy you can put on the ice against anybody. If you look at his minutes, he doesn't play easy minutes, he plays hard minutes and the points on the power play are going to help us tremendously."
Whitney, who won a Stanley Cup with Carolina in 2006, said the key to a better power play is having more of them.
"You'll find the more of them you get, the more camaraderie you get, the more used to each other you get and your power play benefits from that. I think with (Jaromir) Jagr and Derek Roy coming in, the guys we've got on the point, I think it is certainly talented enough to be better than 30th," he said.
Between the two old-timers, along with other newcomers like Roy and physical defenceman Aaron Rome, the Stars are feeling good about their chances in 2012-13.
"It's exciting times around here," said Morrow, who turns 34 next Wednesday and is coming off a difficult injury-plagued season that saw him muster just 11 goals and 26 points in 57 games. "We know Ray already, he's been in town for a couple of months, and the experience he has, and Jags, we haven't met yet, hopefully we'll see him over the next couple of days. We're excited to get them in the locker room and to get the jerseys on."
Also missing from practice Friday was last season's leading scorer Loui Eriksson and 35-goal scorer Michael Ryder. While Jagr is expected to be on the ice Saturday, the full roster should be ready to go when training camp likely begins Sunday.

The United States Revealed it's Budget Spending on Central Asia for 2017
During a congressional subcommittee on June, 9, 2016, the U.S. State Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) make the case for the department's FY (Fiscal Year) 2017 budget, which requests $164.1 million for Central Asia. By requesting the budget, Daniel Rosenblum who is the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Central Asia at the U.S. Department of State declared two main national interests of the U.S. in the region such as (1) maintaining sovereignty and independence of Central Asian countries, and (2) promotion of regional stability, primarily by preventing the region from becoming a shelter for terrorists. When it comes to allocation of spending, Kyrgyzstan appears to be a key recipient as long as $ 51.8 million out of the budget is planned to allocate to this country. The next large amount of spending which is $ 41.6 million is planned to allocate to Tajikistan, while for Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan requests were made at $ 11.6 and $ 4.8 million respectively, and for Kazakhstan is $ 8.8 million. [1]
By now, the US has been assisting these countries through different development programs and has reached a significant progress. For example, the US has been largely contributing in Kazakhstan's development since they started their cooperation in 1992. One of the primary steps taken by the USAID to assist the newly emerged country was the assistance to develop the country's laws, regulations and infrastructure to establish capital markets. One of the main achievements of the USAID is the fact that since 2010 the country's businesses have saved 530 million dollars a year thanks to reforms which abolished excessive requirements on business operations. Additionally, the USAID created a simplified customs system for the country which develops trade corridors between Central Asia and South Asia. [2]
In relation to Kyrgyz Republic, the USAID's main achievements are the fact that the communication between citizens and members of parliament has been fostered due to the policy seminars, hearings and other public events. Currently, Kyrgyz Republic is considered as the only democratic country in the region according to the USAID. The USAID is working with all three branches of the government in order to strengthen processes and make them more effective. [3] Towards Uzbekistan, the USAID has also contributed to democratic development in the country since adoption of new regulations and laws on government transparency have been supported. Moreover, due to the development program, the aggregate value of Uzbekistan's agriculture exports almost quadrupled between 2013 and 2014. [4]
The food security is one of the main achievements of the USAID in relation to Tajikistan, for example, since 2010 fifty six water users associations have been registered and established which provide about 100,000 framers with irrigation water. Moreover, since 2010 more than 27, 000 framers started to learn and know about their land use rights thanks to the USAID funded legal aid centers. [5] Whereas, Turkmenistan has received an assistance in health security, namely, between 2000 and 2013 the tuberculosis treatment success rated was increased to 32 %. Moreover, the USAID is contributing to the development of the next generation of the country as long as the USAID-developed market economics curriculum is applying to Turkmenistan's national secondary educational system. [6]
According to the recent budget request for the region, the US emphasized the main problems of the countries in the region such as dependence on Russia's economy and the lack of objective news and information, and its approach to deal with the problems are the development of resilient economies and strengthening the news media.
Specifically, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan stand at the high level of dependence on Russia's economy according to the USAID. If we look at the budget allocation, the U.S gives a high priority exactly to these countries. Interestingly, the USAID does not highlight a similar problem in Kazakhstan, but it stresses the issue of (a) low level of access to objective news and information, and production of local content in the country. And, through the FY 2017 the USAID intends to collaborate with more than 50 NGOs and media outlets to tackle the aforementioned problem in Kazakhstan. [7] In addition, (b) the USAID intends to collaborate with the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan in order to assist with promotion of international best practices in civil and commercial law among judges. Moreover, (c) the issue of sustainable development was not forgotten as long as the USAID expressed its support to Kazakhstan in raising its renewable energy share from 3% to 10 % by 2030 by developing clean energy investment. [8] While in relation to Turkmenistan, the US continues to view the issue of governance as its main objective.
Given the fact that the news media has become one of the most influential instruments to affect public perception on understanding of local and world events, it can be argued that the promotion of objective news and information will play a central role in Kazakhstan's development. Namely, it is able to help people understand the events based on different interpretation, and provides with different insights, and avoid biased sources of information. Moreover, the development of the local content gives an equal access for all citizens in acquiring the information. Also, the promotion of resilient economies in Tajikistan, Kyrgyz Republic and Uzbekistan will be of great significance to counter any external influence both politically and economically. In general, the development aids of the US are helping post-Soviet countries to follow their own independent path. Since in order to gain an independence, a country should not have only its sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also to follow the road of 'development' which allows a country to become economically independent.

Q: Что такое Пресет в Webpack Начал изучение Webpack, в статье автор устанавливает Babel, babel-core, babel-loader и.т.д затем объясняет что к чему, вот текст из статьи
"babel-core: Преобразует код ES6 в ES5.

babel-preset-env: Пресет, который помогает babel конвертировать код ES6, ES7 и ES8 в код ES5.
babel-preset-react: Пресет, преобразующий JSX в JavaScript."
Но я не понял что такое Пресеты или Пресет? что это и для чего это нужно?


When I'm in Boston, I spend a ton of time cooking. I try to meal prep every week, I cut up fruit, I make myself dinner every night, and I make some sort of breakfast every morning. When I'm in Phoenix, that sort of planning definitely falls by the wayside. I still make myself breakfast, but I don't worry as much about prepping for the rest.
Alex, on the other hand, doesn't cook at all. He says that he never really learned, which I completely understand. (If you want to learn more about our families and how we were raised, click here). We decided it would be fun this summer to cook together so that Alex can get used to making food on his own! So we tried out a baked honey lemon salmon.
I cook salmon a lot since it's so easy to bake, so that part wasn't new to me, but this recipe was a mix of a few I've been trying for a while! In the end, I liked it, but would have cooked it for less time. Alex ate 2/3 pieces!
Next, we made the glaze and poured it over the fish, which was on a baking sheet covered in tin foil. I covered the salmon and popped it in the oven along with the broccolini. Alex tossed the potatoes into a pan and sautéed them till they were crispy.
And then we plated up and ate! I cannot tell you how proud Alex was of himself for cooking with me. And I was so happy to finally have someone to cook with! Let's hope we can continue the trend in Boston! Below is the recipe. Happy cooking!
Cover a baking sheet in foil.
Prep the defrosted salmon by adding salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to them.
Place the slices of lemon onto the baking sheet, place the salmon fillets on top of them, pull the edges of the foil up around the salmon, but not completely covering.
Mix the lemon juice, butter, and honey together, pour mixture on top of salmon.
Cover the salmon with the foil, bake for 15 minutes.
Take the salmon out, uncover it, and broil it for 6 minutes.
We will absolutely be making this again. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
This looks so delicious! I need to make this!
I'll definitely be trying this recipe! It looks delicious!
Baked salmon is super easy! I always worry about undercooking fish and meat, but baking fish is the best bet!
Yum! Might have to give this recipe a try!
This sounds so tasty and not too complicated, I need to make this soon!

How the Geological Society agrees its public statements
The Geological Society, along with many other national and international scientific organisations, is concerned by the Executive Order, announced on 27 January 2017, which will prevent people from seven countries in the Middle East and Africa from entering the United States, if it is allowed to stand.
From the perspective of an international organisation with members living and working around the world in what is a truly global scientific discipline, such a ban would have the potential to hinder a number of activities that are critical to our science. Furthermore, as an organisation we are committed to supporting diversity and inclusion in the geoscience profession, irrespective of nationality, and the Executive Order conflicts with our stated aims in this area.
There is concern that scientists may be prevented from attending research conferences and meetings in the US. These opportunities to share and discuss research and its application facilitate the collaboration essential for excellence in science and innovation. There may also be an impact on industry. This would be particularly likely to affect the many companies in the energy and resources sectors that have offices and operations in both the US and the countries listed in the Executive Order. International firms would also need to address instances of UK-based staff who are affected by the ban.
In addition to short-term impacts on research and industry, there are also concerns about possible implications for cross-border working in the longer term. Earth science, like all science, is a global endeavour relying on the open exchange of research ideas and discussion. A ban of this type would reduce access to the best science. Geology and the subsurface are not constrained by national borders and therefore effective advancement of our science depends on free movement across borders to carry out research and the sharing of ideas.
This Executive Order may have long-term consequences for the UK's international scientific relations if it is an indication of the USA's future migration policies. It is imperative, in order to maintain our position as a global power in research, that the UK Government shows leadership in promoting the importance of internationalism in science.
