Omaha.Com: Chairman resigns, many Bernie Sanders supporters apologize for 'disrespectful' role in Latino caucus election

Co-founder Shirl Mora James (pro Hillary supporter) was at the helm of this issue and fought for Marta Nieves along with several others.
From Omaha.com:
Chairman resigns, many Bernie Sanders supporters apologize for 'disrespectful' role in Latino caucus election
A cadre of young Bernie Sanders backers in Nebraska learned this week that it isn't right to play politics with Latinos.
During last weekend's Democratic State Convention, the Sanders group was accused of being "paternalistic" and exhibiting "white privilege" after it engineered the ouster of a longtime Latino leader in favor of a Sanders supporter as chairman of a Latino-centered caucus.
Many of those in the Sanders group were young, white and male. And many of them apologized profusely during an emotional meeting Tuesday with Latino leaders in South Omaha.
The meeting ended with the Sanders supporter stepping down as chairman and allowing the longtime leader of the Latino caucus to resume the helm.
"It was disrespectful. It really was. From the bottom of my heart, I want to apologize," said Nate Gadrinski, 29, a Sanders supporter from Omaha. "It is clear you don't want your allies making decisions for you."
The controversy erupted at the convention, where the Sanders camp aggressively flexed its delegate strength to try to take over as many leadership posts within the party as it could. Sanders won Nebraska's Democratic caucuses in March and was awarded more state delegates than Hillary Clinton, the party's presumptive presidential nominee.
Among the Sanders camp's targets: the party's many special-interest caucuses. These caucuses or committees were formed years ago to give groups such as Latinos, women and the LGBT community — groups that often felt their voices were not being heard within the party — a structure to discuss their interests.
Several convention-goers reported seeing a group of 15 to 25 Sanders supporters darting in and out of caucus meetings at the convention, trying to exert influence.
At the Latino caucus, the Sanders group flooded the meeting just as the vote for chairman was about to take place. Marta Nieves, who's been active in the organization for more than five years, was running for re-election. However, the Sanders supporters preferred Adrian Sanchez, head of the Nebraska Latino Commission.
In about five minutes, Sanchez was elected, the Sanders supporters left the room and Nieves could not believe what had happened.
Nieves and others argued later that those who voted for Sanchez violated the group's bylaws. Non-Latinos are allowed to join the caucus, but only members — those who have attended before and have paid dues — are allowed to cast a vote in leadership races.
No one raised an objection that day. Nieves said she was too shocked to do so.
It didn't take long, however, for a backlash to build within the Latino Democratic community, whose members were outraged that a mostly non-Latino group of Sanders backers had chosen their new leader. On social media, they began to fire broadsides at Sanchez and Sanders supporters.
That prompted Tuesday's meeting. About seven or eight Sanders supporters and about 25 Latinos gathered at El Alamo restaurant in South Omaha.
Initially, the Sanders backers appeared ready to defend the vote. One said he viewed himself as an "ally" of the Latino community who was simply trying to get more involved with the caucus. And Sanchez initially refused to resign, arguing that the vote should stand.
However, as the night wore on and speaker after speaker lambasted the "dirty" trick at the convention, the Sanders supporters and Sanchez began to have a change of heart.
Nieves told the Sanders supporters that they were "alienating" people who have been working within the Democratic Party for years.
"You guys are all excited about being progressive and you knock the hell out of people who are (also) progressive and who have been around a while," Nieves said. "You guys ran all over the place just to be in charge, and you don't even know what that means."
Dale Gutierrez, who identified himself as a Iraq War veteran, asked the Sanders supporters why they thought it was a good idea to try to make decisions for the Latino community.
"Do you know what it's like to be Latino? Do any of you?" he asked.

Animals embedded in food webs must generally balance two simultaneous co-evolutionary arms races, with their resource and natural enemy species. Venomous animals may use venom components to mediate both arms races. To evaluate this hypothesis, we investigated rapid changes in scorpion venom composition by manipulating experimental scorpions' exposure to a surrogate vertebrate predator, and providing either live or dead prey. After six weeks scorpions exposed to the surrogate predators exhibited significantly different venom chemical compositions compared to naïve scorpions. In contrast, reducing the need for venom use by providing dead, rather than live prey did not lead to changes in venom composition. The observed rapid changes in venom composition in response to increased predator exposure may increase the stability of food webs and suggest that arms races within food webs should not be viewed in isolation.


Rotate object on itself axis.
How I must to do, with mouse rotate an object in itself object axis? What is of kind API method I must to use?
Update: This is what I did. How I can set up a camera angles after, change the camera type?
If you have a look at the Bone API, it does some rotating of objects. See the 'View Code' button in the lower left corner when you open this link.
I am a newbie. Only one week, that I use this blend4web engine. The documentation is not full. And API doesn't have an search field.
I have been loaded my scene. Can you check it? I can't select an objects. My mouse cursor is hided.
request_pointerlock(container); on line 107 is what causes your mouse to disappear and 'lock' in to mouse-look mode.
Hi, Will. Thank you for your replies. I have a question about this function. May I use this function and select object, when click mouse button 1. I think, in my case I must use ray. But I can't found documentation.
Next question is: How to rotate an object to vector, where the camera is targeted. I mean where the camera saw.
I am not sure. I don't understand what you are trying to do.
For rotation, you will be getting into quaternions. There is a thread where I modified the Cartoon Interior code to do some different things. In this code I acquired the rotation data from the camera, reversed it and applied it to the selected object to offset rotation. This was done so I could parent the object to the camera without losing the objects original rotation data. But this might be helpful to your project. It has example code you can download. Cartoon Interior thread.
Sorry to my English. I want to do this. When I click an object, then I must rotate item, when I clicked. You can understand this, if you load my "test_project". But I can't yet did rotate object. I just create two scenes. And interact it with JS.
Now, I want to do this. When object clicked, it must rotate to angle as "Target" object. But I do something wrong.
Have a look at get_rotation() in the Transform module.
Setting that rotation to another object might look like this.
Just a thought, but if you are trying to make an object track to or 'look' at the camera, there is a constraint for that.
This is my piece of code, where I want to try rotate with animate. But it not work as I wait.
What I am do wrong?

Appendicitis Pain: What Does Appendix Pain Feel Like?
by Aastha Kapoor, MS, Biotechnology Last updated on October 3, 2019,
Appendicitis Overview
Appendicitis in Kids
Appendix and Appendicitis
Appendix is 3 ½ inch long tube which extends from large intestine. No significant function of appendix is known, but some doctors believe that it contains a special tissue, which produces antibiotics and helps in fighting infection. As its function is unknown, so you can easily survive without an appendix and no health difficulties may occur as such.
Inflammation of the appendix leads to a condition known as appendicitis. Inflammation of appendix occurs due an infection or blockage of stool or foreign body or due to cancer. It is a medical emergency which requires an urgent removal of appendix through a surgery. If not treated quickly, then it can burst or perforate and as a result, it will spread the infection in the abdominal cavity. This infection will result in acute inflammation of peritoneum (abdominal cavity lining), which is a fatal condition if not treated quickly with the help of antibiotics.
Appendicitis Pain: How do you feel when you have appendicitis pain?
Appendix pain is one of the major symptoms of appendicitis. Appendicitis pain starts near the naval or upper abdomen, which may not be permanent. This is the first sign of onset of appendicitis that can occur in an individual, but it is only observed in less than half of the appendicitis patients.
Then within few hours, the appendix pain travels to the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, where the appendix is located. A severe pain is observed in this area which remains constant. This occurs due to swelling and inflammation of the appendix.

What does appendix pain feel like?
An appendicitis patient may feel a dull, cramping or aching type of pain throughout the abdomen during the onset of symptoms. With time, the pain becomes quite severe and remains constant as a sharp ache on right-hand side. This makes the patient quite uncomfortable.
Which side does appendix pain occurs? Where does appendix pain starts?
With the onset of symptoms, the appendicitis pain is located in the center of abdomen, particularly near the navel (bellybutton) and lower and upper abdomen region. Gradually, with time the pain travels to the lower right-hand side of the abdomen, which is quite severe and remains stable.
What are the symptoms of appendix pain?
data-matched-content-ui-type='image_card_sidebyside'
The major symptom of appendicitis involves occurrence of extreme pain in the lower right side of abdomen. Other symptoms commonly experienced along with appendicitis pain are as follows:
Nausea or vomiting which begins after onset of abdominal pain
Abdominal swelling
Fever ranging about 100-101.F
Constipation or diarrhea with gas
Inability to pass gas
Painful urination
Severe cramps
Features of appendicitis pain
Appendix pain is the one of the significant symptoms that an appendix patient experiences. It occurs on the lower right-hand side of the abdomen. The abdominal pain has the following characteristics:
Appendix pain occurs suddenly and may result in waking you up at night
It occurs before others symptoms may appear
Appendix pain begins near the belly button and moves to lower abdomen region
The pain felt is quite new and never experienced by the patient before
The appendicitis pain becomes quite extreme in a few hours
It becomes quite worse while walking, taking deep breath, coughing or sneezing
Back pain in appendicitis: Is back pain during appendicitis common?
Most people experience appendicitis pain on the right side of abdomen only, as the appendix is located in that region. In some people, the appendix may be present behind the colon, due to which they may experience lower back pain or pelvic pain during appendicitis. Therefore, back pain is quite rare during appendicitis.
What happens when an appendix bursts?
If the inflamed appendix is not treated on urgent basis, then it may lead to an appendix burst. It involves spreading the infection in the inner lining of abdomen, known as peritoneum. Appendix burst is extremely painful and cause severe inflammation. Such a condition is known as peritonitis. It is a life-threatening condition and requires immediate medical attention.
How long does it take for an appendix to rupture?
An inflamed appendix has a potential risk to get ruptured after 48 hours of onset of appendix pain and other such symptoms. However, it rarely gets ruptured within the first 24 hours of onset of symptoms. As soon as you experience any symptoms of appendicitis, you should consult a doctor urgently for its treatment.

How do you know if your appendix got busted?
When the appendix ruptures due to severe inflammation, then the infection spreads in the abdominal cavity and body temperature may rise above 101.F. Increase in heart rate may also indicate presence of ruptured appendix in the abdominal region.
When do you require medical assistance for appendicitis pain?
If you experience any middle/lower/right side abdominal pain along with fever and vomiting, then you should consult a doctor. If your symptoms continue for more than 4 hours then you should immediately visit a doctor's clinic or a hospital's emergency department.
Treatment of appendix pain
Appendicitis pain cannot be treated at home. Any home remedies can exaggerate the situation. Never try any home remedies for appendix treatment. You should immediately visit a doctor or move to emergency department of a hospital.
The doctor will surgically remove the appendix by either appendectomy or laparoscopy. In some cases, he or she may recommend certain antibiotics to reduce the infection in the appendix and then remove it through surgery.
What should be avoided during an appendicitis pain?
The following practices or home remedies should be avoided as they can lead delay the diagnosis of appendicitis symptoms. This delay in diagnosis may lead to rupture of appendix and thereby exaggerate the condition. In certain conditions, these steps could even rupture the appendix directly leading to peritonitis.
These preventive measures include:
You should not eat or drink anything, as it can delay or lead to complications during appendix surgery. If you feel thirty, you can wash your mouth with water.
You should not consume any over-the-counter medication such as a laxative, antibiotic, antacid and pain relief medication.
Never place a heating pad to control appendix pain

What a piece of work
HAMLET, one of the most staged performances ever in theatre, will be presented twice to the Slovak public in late June, with the prince of Denmark losing his mirth both in a regular theatre as well as on the cobblestones of a western Slovak town.
The double billing is not an accident, but is the fruit of two simultaneous theatre festivals called EuroThalia and Cibulák which will run in Slovakia in the last week of June only 15 kilometres apart. A handful of international thespians will perform both recent and classic plays in the capital and on the streets of the nearby wine region town Pezinok.

EuroThalia is being organised by the European Theatre Convention, an international association of theatres. It brings 11 plays from 11 countries to Bratislava's two main theatre stages from June 24 to 30. Cibulák, an open-air festival taking place on the streets, squares and parks of Pezinok, will last only over the June 28-29 weekend.
"Europe wants to be unified in all fields except for culture. Eleven plays from eleven countries show how diverse that field can be," said Dušan Jamrich, the director of the Slovak National Theatre and the head of the EuroThalia festival.
Like any other traditional theatre festival, EuroThalia will also review the best European plays performed on theatre stages. Every evening, the theatres will host works by dramatists such as William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett and Franz Kafka, followed by discussions of issues faced by contemporary playwrights. The debates will move from human emotions to censorship problems, and will illustrate turbulent periods with the individuals captured in them.
Contrary to EuroThalia, the two-day Cibulák 'alternative' festival is aimed not only at regular theatre-goers but also at passersby.
WAITING for Godot will be played by a French duo.
"Theatre should be for everybody, not only for audiences educated in the field," said Rastislav Kuttner from the Fairy-Tale civic association, which is organising Cibulák. "This is what we are aiming for."
Lively theatrical performances full of dance, fire games, circus and acrobatic elements will flood the Pezinok historical centre. Temporary stages will be erected on the squares and streets, and will be small and low enough to narrow the gap between audience and actors that is so difficult to bridge at traditional theatres.
While meetings and educated discussions with dramatists and actors will follow each EuroThalia performance, Cibulák's public can switch from theatre to live concerts by local and foreign bands. The local culture centre will screen recently made animated movies, while African drumming parades will march the streets, inviting people to join in.
Whereas the annual Cibulák festival calls for entertainment and fun, giving young artists the chance to experiment, EuroThalia is seen as a chance for Slovak theatre to increase its reputation on the international stage.
"This festival is very important for us because it doesn't occur every day. We may not see it again in Slovakia for the next 20 years," said Jamrich.

tv Newsline KCSMMHZ July 19, 2013 6:00am-6:31am PDT
welcome to nhk world "newsline." i'm gene otani in tokyo. here are the stories we're following this hour. the cradle of the u.s. auto industry has filed for bankruptcy, struggling with a multibillion-dollar debt. >> scientists have established a new characteristic of a nutrinos.
>> and as japanese voters get ready for sunday's upper house election, we look back on prime minister shinzo abe's first six months in office. before we go to those headlines, officials at china's central bank have announced they will liberalize interest on business loans starting saturday. the move should lower lending costs and promote bank lending. it is apparently aimed at controlling the expansion of so-called shadow banking. this growing practice of nonbank lending for real estate and other transactions is considered a risk factor for the chinese economy. u.s. automakers consider detroit their heartland, but authorities there are dealing with a debt of more than $18 billion. they have declared bankruptcy, the largest-ever municipal failure in u.s. history. detroit officials filed in court on thursday. >> one of the things that i want to say to our citizens is that
as tough as this is, i really didn't want to go in this direction, but now that we are here, we have to make the best of it. >> detroit has traditionally been the center of the u.s. auto manufacturing industry. general motors has headquarters in the city. gm responded to industry decline by declaring bankruptcy in 2009. people living in detroit numbered about 1.8 million in 1950. now, there are just 700,000. the population decline led to a decrease in tax revenues, city officials have faced financial distress ever since. market experts have seen signs of recovery in the u.s. including the auto industry. but analysts say detroit's bankruptcy is a hangover from longer term problems. president barack obama and his senior advisors are reportedly monitoring the situation. a white house spokesperson said the administration is committed to working as a partner in detroit's recovery. people are reacting to the
news that their city has gone bankrupt. our correspondent maki hatae is in detroit. >> reporter: overnight it was dark in detroit simply because the city does not have money to pay its electricity bills. you can see the headquarters of general motors back there, the world renowned automaker, the heart of the american auto industry. i asked people what they thought about the bankruptcy. >> it's gotten to a point where people got tired. we're paying services that we don't get. >> had no clue and i didn't know it was that bad here. i mean, i thought it was going to get a little bit better. >> i feel it's a good thing this city needs to turn itself around. it's got to start some place. this is what has to be done. >> reporter: people are naturally disappointed, but most know that something has to be done in order to make the city livable again. this may provide detroit with just enough breathing space to
start rebuilding. maki hatae, nhk world, detroit. >> for more on why detroit went bankrupt and what's ahead, we spoke to an expert on public policy at the nomura research institute. >> reporter: the biggest factor behind the collapse is the city's failure to adapt to a decreasing population. the trend began in the 1950s and accelerated after general motors bankruptcy in 2009. >> gm and car industries moving their industry property to overseas like developing country like china or south america. this offshore trend led to the
need for workers in detroit, so they layoff a lot of workers from their industry. >> reporter: he says the city was too slow to scale down excess infrastructure in line with the population decline. and he believes this problem will continue affecting detroit. >> one biggest concern for the situation that is that it will deteriorate quality of life of people living in detroit cities because detroit city have to cut its government budget, they need to cut benefit -- welfare benefit such as food stamps for poor people, or they have to reduce the pension for older people. this will make the life of
citizens very worse rather than now. they need to shrink the area of city of detroit more on a more smaller. >> reporter: he says city executives need to implement the necessary reforms to avoid going into another tailspin. jun yotsumoto, nhk world, tokyo. a group of researchers says they're one step closer to understanding their origins of the universe. they've confirmed that fundamental particles known as neutrinos have the ability to transform themselves. a group led by professor kobayashi made the observation. the team generated neutrinos at the japan proton accelerator
research. they then beamed them toward the observatory about 300 kilometers away. 500 researchers from 11 countries observed the experiment. they helped confirm that neutrinos transformed into electron neutrinos. this finding could help solve one of the basic mysteries of physi physics. >> translator: i think neutrinos may hold the key to understanding why matter exists in the universe. they could help reveal the ultimate law that controls matter. >> scientists say when the big bang created the universe more than 13 billion years ago, equal amounts of matter and antimatter were present. but for some unknown reason the antimatter disappeared a short time later. researchers expressed hope the experiment will shed light on the nature of neutrinos and lead
them to understand why the antimatter disappeared. a crew of a north korean cargo ship could be spending more time in panama than expected. panamanian authorities have charged them with smuggling. their freighter was seized as it tried to pass through the panama canal. it was found carrying obsolete weapons from cuba hidden under bags of sugar. panamanian investigators say the captain and 35 crewmen have been charged with attempts against panama security in transporting undeclared military equipment illegally. they also say the north koreans declared the ship was carrying sugar but not any weapons. they say the north korean sailors could face more than four years in prison if convicted on the attempts on national security charge only. the captain and 35 crew members have refused to speak to the authorities. both north korean and cuban officials confirm the soviet era weapons were to be repaired in north korea and returned to cuba. united nations security
officials say transporting weapons is in violation of u.n. resolutions prohibiting north korea from dealing in arms. panamanian officials say that u.n. investigators will inspect the freighter. north korean officials have called on the panama officials to release the crew members without delay. ob everybody servers say north korea will file against the charges. supporters and opponents of morsi are in a stand-off raising fears of confrontation. both camps called for nationwide demonstrations to coincide with friday prayers. morsi's power base the muslim brotherhood refuses to recognize the interim government that was sworn in on tuesday. they continue sit-ins and rallies to press for his reinstatement. interim president adly mansour said in a televised speech that his government is committed to restoring security and will fight to achieve it. earlier in the week the european union foreign policy chief catherine ashton visited egypt.
she urged both sides to open dialogue. but there are no signs a compromise can be reached since the brotherhood doesn't accept the interim authorities. on monday and tuesday, morsi supporters clashed with his opponents and government security forces. seven people were killed and more than 250 were injured. the u.s. president has urged the prime minister of israel to help revive stalled middle east peace talks. in a phone call, barack obama asked benjamin netanyahu for help in resolving dialogue between israelis and palestinians. the talks have been on ice for nearly three years. u.s. secretary of state john kerry met with the leaders of jordan and other arab countries. palestinian sources say kerry made a new proposal that accepts some palestinian demands. u.s. state department officials say kerry saw a narrowing of differences between israelis and palestinians. he's yet to decide when to return home as he continues last minute negotiations.
observers are watching whether the latest u.s. engagement can break the deadlock in dialogue. the general public allowed to attend a sensitive political ceremony that remembers political leader. prevented from marking the occasion worried it might bolster the position of the general's daughter, pro-democracy leader aung san suu kyi. a ceremony held on friday. aung san suu kyi offered prayers to her father assassinated 66 years ago to the day. elsewhere others gathered in front of a bronze statue of the late general. >> translator: we still have a long way to go as a democratic nation, but it's good to know that we can participate in an
event like this. >> translator: even now this event isn't as big as it was before the military years. the government still has a lot more to do. >> general aun san is considered the nation's founding father. he holds a special place in public consciousness. the general is a sensitive subject for former military rulers because his daughter was their fiercest critic. seeing pictures of him in public was rare. allowing citizens to take part in the memorial service is viewed as another milestone on the nation's long road towards democracy. politicians in japan are chr crisscrossing the country making last-minute pitches. voters will decide on sunday who should represent them in the upper house of their diet. and as they fill out their
ballots, they'll also be considering whether to give prime minister shinzo abe and his liberal democratic party more power. the ldp controls the lower house, but opposition parties hold the majority of seats in the upper chamber, and that's created a divided diet where passing legislation can be tricky. in the lead up to when japan decides, we've been looking at some of the key campaign issues and hearing from voters about what matters to them. candidates from these nine parties are running in the election. the groups qualified for political party status. others that failed to meet the standards are still fielding candidates. in all 433 candidates including independents are running in this election. now, prime minister abe sees this vote as his second shot at political redemption. he led the ldp to a crushing defeat in the 2007 upper house election then resigned. abe took power again last
december determined to do things differently. nhk world looks back on his first six months in office. >> reporter: shinzo abe and his liberal democrats came roaring back to power last december after defeating the democratic party in a general election. the landslide victory marked a political comeback for abe. he'd resign as prime minister in 2007 after only a year in the job because of a health issue. on day one, he labeled his new cabinet a crisis breakthrough cabinet. >> translator: voters helped us win the general election because everyone wanted to end the political turmoil and impasse once and for all. >> reporter: abe said japan faced three crises. the prime minister described the
economic situation as very serious, so he drafted a bold strategy to end decades of deflation. his policy became known as abenomics and it pushed up stock prices, it also weakened the yen, something experts applauded. helped keep the approval rating around 60%. abe maintains that part of bringing japan back includes rebuilding the disaster-hit regions. and despite the nuclear accident in fukushima, he's standing firm on his plan to restart reactors in order to meet energy demands. abe says as long as reactors pass new safety standards, they can start generating power again. in addition he's made exporting japanese nuclear technology part of his growth strategy. the prime minister said the u.s./japan alliance is an
integral part of foreign policy. he argued the previous administration ripped the alliance apart. abe flew to washington to try to fix things. and he wasted no time stressing he would take a firm stance when it comes to the territorial disputes with china, south korea and russia. he vowed not to budge. >> translator: i declare to protect the lives and property of citizens and territories of the country's land, sea and air. >> reporter: for abe, protecting japan means upgrading the self-defense forces to a national defense military, and having the right to defend allies that come under attack. the prime minister says he's ready to revise the constitution to do that. restarting nuclear reactors and amending the institution, these issues are dividing the country, but prime minister abe says he's ready to tackle them head-on.
his first term in office was cut short, but he's determined to show that this time around he's in it for the long haul. michio kijima, nhk world, tokyo. >> so that's the record that prime minister will be running on, and voters will judge him on the results. our political commentator has covered both abe administrati s administrations, he tells us what is at stake in the election. >> we'll be watching to see if the prime minister and his ruling coalition will be able to take back the upper house and end the long standing gridlock in the diet. the liberal democratic party and his partner new komeito, already control the lower house. but the opposition camp has majority in the upper chamber, and that means it has the power to block legislation. as a result, abe has struggled to get bills passed.
he says the divided diet has produced years of indecisive politics. and he says his ruling coalition needs to win this election to ensure a stable future for japan. survey suggests that japanese favor abenomics and that helps the prime minister stay popular. he says the benefits of abenomics have changed the mood in this country, even though many people say that they still haven't felt the effects of an economic recovery. voters also are focusing on energy policy. they want to know where the parties stand on nuclear power following the 2011 accident in fukushima. abe favors restarting reactors that pass new safety checks, but voters are divided on the issue.
well, as michio mentioned in his story, prime minister abe wants to revise the constitution. his main goal is for japan to have an official military. the constitution hasn't been amended since it took effect in 1947. and changing it woen't be easy. abe will need the backing of two-thirds of lawmakers in both houses of the diet. then any revisions must be approved by voters in the referendum. the liberal democrats and new komeito control two-thirds of the lower house seats. abe hopes a strong showing in the upper house election will get him to, or close to, two-thirds in the chamber. he says he plans to build a broad coalition of lawmakers who
support constitutional change. but some regard abe as being too hawkish and worry that the changes will cause friction with japan's neighbors. polls suggest that many voters are still wondering whether the constitutional changes or amendments are even necessary. we'll see just how they feel about this and other key issues in a couple of days. >> and masayo will be part of our team covering the election this sunday. our special program, japan decides, begins at 7:10 p.m. japan time. after the polls close at 8:00 p.m. we'll combine our exit poll data with information our journalists gather across the country to project the winners. do stay with "newsline" for the latest results and analysis. nhk world's special coverage of japan's upper house election is just a click or tap away.
we're adding a host of features to our web and mobile sites. you'll find backgrounders and analysis, plus in-depth reports on the issues that could define the campaign. from the economy to the constitutional debate, www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/election, get online and get informed. cross-border tax evasion has been a headache for many governments. now an international economic organization has drawn up an action plan to stop what it calls tax system abuses by multinational corporations. the global roadmap by the organization for economic cooperation and development has 15 specific plans. they include establishing guidelines by september 2014 for businesses in transferring profits to their subsidiaries and countries with lower tax rates. it also aims to set up tax rules on electronic commerce. the plan also calls for preparing a system by september
2015 to require multinationals to report tax payment plans to their governments. the oecd move follows an agreement at the group of eight summit in june to follow international rules to address the problem of profit shifting. the organization has taken the step also to address rising criticism that global businesses like starbucks and apple abused the systems of countries and regions with lower tax rates. it may not be easy to come up with common rules though. major countries say multinationals should be taxed where they are headquartered, on the other hand emerging nations say those companies should be taxed more heavily in countries where they make profits. here are the latest market figures.
there's flooding in china. meteorologist robert speta has been following the havoc there. robert. >> let's start off by talking about what's going on into central and northeastern china where we have this heavy rainfall continuing to occur. not just there even towards north korea actually so far into july pyongyang has recorded about 490 millimeters of rainfall. typically by this time of year you see about 310. so it is well above average and definitely still the risk of flooding out here as this front does continue to linger overhead. and about 100 to 200 millimeters still expected going throughout the next several days. and that is per day going through the weekend. so flooding is going to be a continued risk here in not just out there towards the northeast, down towards the southwest,
sichuan province, we've been seeing the heavy flooding there. we had video earlier tonight that showed you severe flooding and landslides that resulted in two deaths. we want to continue to watch that. farther towards the east into japan, the weather's clearing up here. we have this high pressure ridging in from the south. that's bringing a big dome of warmer weather, hotter weather and thankfully at the relief of many. yesterday we showed you video out of yamagata prefecture of the flash flooding there. today, this out of fukushima where there's a landslide occurred about 30 meters -- or 20 meters in height, ten meters in width. this road crashed down onto these train tracks and obviously it stopped the train service there. crews had to get out there, clear it up. definitely disrupted anybody's travel plans going through that area of fukushima. this was due to rainfall earlier in the week, saturated the ground and caused a landslide. that's what we're talking about
heavy rainfall, saturated ground and risk of landslides. for now tokyo with a high of 29 on saturday. expecting to get into the 30s by sunday. seoul at 28. shanghai, 37 to start off your weekend. look towards the americas. what's going on here? well, the southwest monsoon, that moisture being pulled out of the pacific still bringing showers in mexico, four corners region, risk of thunderstorms and also flash flooding out of that as well in the short-time heavy rain. but the bulk of the severe weather is off to the north. you can even see on satellite picture that cold front starting to develop towards the midwest pushing off towards the east. that is going to bring some thunderstorm activity in places like chicago over towards detroit, into buffalo as well as that does continue to push through the great lakes region. we've already been seeing some hail out here, up to about golf ball size. winds, damaging winds very welcoming out of this. don't be surprised if you hear of a report of a tornado or two with it. not a big tornado outbreak, but it is going to be packing quite a punch as it pushes off to the east being fueled by the absolutely steamy and warm
temperatures we have been seeing across the northeast. right now chicago with a high of 36, washington, d.c. as well. new york, sunny skies and 36 degrees there for you. that is accompanied by this very high humidity. so it's very hot and muggy. the good news is take a look at this. once that front drifts down there towards the south, it's going to cool off, become a little more bearable here across much of the great lakes region toronto dropping all the way down to 25 here by sunday going into monday. i want to quickly show you what's going on here into europe where we have, well, this high pressure into the northwest. it is keeping things hot and we have thunderstorms flaring up due to moisture off the mediterranean into southern france, northern italy. but temperatures here are well above average. we want to stay cool, especially if you're in madrid getting up to 36 still above average, paris, 35 by monday. but that's a look at your world weather. here's the extended forecast.
that's "newsline" for this hour. i'm gene otani in tokyo.

Back in the early 1970's Bob LePera had a dream... Bob's career started back when he was 12 years old in his Mom and Dad's family owned leather goods shop. As a young teen he was already making exotic watch bands, belts, and wallets. His artistry was far beyond his years. In high school, at the ripe old age of 16, Bob's passion turned to cars. Denied by his parent's to go "over the border" for the interior in his personal hot rod (a super charged Studebaker Lark), he decided to take on the job himself. With the skills learned at his parent's shop and his natural talents, he single handedly transformed the interior of his beloved Lark into what can best be described as the envy of all of his Greaser buddies and their "Babes" alike! After showing off his car around school and local hang outs the word spread fast. Within a couple of weeks customers lined his parent's driveway to get a "Bob LePera" custom interior. From there, his talent landed him a full time job working alongside Tony Nancy (world famous drag racer/upholsterer from the 1960's-70's) specializing in dragsters, show and exotic cars. After rubbing elbows and upholstering cars for some of the biggest names in Drag Racing and Hollywood, Bob was itching to get out on his own. The '70's approached and the Chopper scene took off. Little by little Bob began doing an unbelievable amount of custom motorcycle seats. For Bob, the motorcycle and his talents were a match made in heaven. For the first time, his work was on display for everyone to see. His love for anything with wheels was only fuel for the fire. In 1972, Bob made up his mind that he was going to start a company that would dedicate itself to the superior design, quality and craftsmanship of custom motorcycle seats. That year, 1972, Bob's dream became a reality and LePera Enterprises was born. It's been 40 years since Bob started the company. All of his blood, sweat and tears were not in vain. For today, LePera is one of the most respected names in the industry. Sadly, Bob Sr. passed away in 2008, but his memory and incredible work ethic lives on in all of us. Everything Bob believed in and worked so hard for is what drives us everyday to be the best we can be and make custom seats we are proud to put our name on. His incredible spirit and passion will always be seen through every seat that passes through our doors. For the past 27 years LePera has been a family affair.

The recent indisputable findings by private residents showcasing the Warwick Fire Department's organized and secret abuse of tax payer dollars now has the same residents wondering how such abuse could proliferate, particularly when the city is supposed to have safeguards in place to prevent exactly this sort of thing from happening.
To oversee departments of MIS, Treasury, Tax Collectors, Assessors, and Purchasing; to maintain financial controls for all city departments; and to submit a complete financial statement at the end of each fiscal year.
To prepare the City's operating budget; to monitor, analyze and project all expenses and revenue during the year in accordance with budget appropriations; to supervise the disbursement of all monies; to maintain the general accounting system and exercise financial controls; to process and oversee insurance claims; to provide interpretation of financial policies, governmental legislation and accounting principles; to internally audit all grants received by the city; and to invest city funds.
Let's take a moment to dissect this document and apply it to the day-to-day functions of the Warwick Fire Department. After extensive conversations both in public and in private, I have been educated by the highly trained and well-compensated (former) finance director of the city. I have come to understand that the Warwick Fire Department tabulates and conducts their own accounting of sick time, vacation, retirement payouts, payroll, etc., all of which is performed in house, by a clerk, with no oversight, then submitted to the payroll department. At no time has any type of oversight been initiated, even when the department has dramatically overspent its budget each year since the beginning of time.
Let's scrutinize portions of the language of the responsibility of the finance department that is defined under the city charter.
1. To maintain financial controls for all city departments.
What controls have been in place in the Warwick Fire Department that allowed them to enter into a secret side deal of unused sick time, in order to prostitute the official language of the contract that was entered into on behalf of the taxpayers, to selfishly obtain monies under false pretenses?
2. To monitor, analyze and project all expenses.
What monitoring has been performed at the fire department, (and by who) to insure that the million-dollar line item of unused sick pay was being paid out in accordance with the current legal ratified collective bargaining agreement?
3. To supervise the disbursement of all monies.
What type of supervision was performed when wrongful payments were made for a period of over 5 years?
4. To maintain the general accounting system and exercise financial controls.
Is there a general accounting system within the Warwick Fire Department? If you consider that the 22 million dollar per year department does its payroll accounting with pencil and paper, loaded with eraser markings and white out as "a general accounting system," you are kidding yourself. In this day and age, on any given summer day you can pass by a child's lemonade stand and review a general accounting system that is decades more technical and accurate than that of the Warwick Fire Department. Furthermore, no accounting system allows for an employer to roll the line item of sick time into the same line item as salaries, unless of course you are knowingly and willfully disguising expenditures in an attempt to masquerade monies that will eventually be obtained under false pretenses.
Unfortunately, that is exactly what was (is) happening within the Warwick Fire Department. The administration, both past and present should all hang their heads in shame that this has been happening under their noses and on their watch. No one is taking responsibility for bogus fiscal notes, creative math, lack of controls, overspending, and in my opinion coordinated theft and collusion. What other conclusion can one come to now knowing that we had secret side deals?
Personally, I think that prior to voting on or ratifying any contract or expenditure, the budgets should be forwarded to the 5th graders in this city so they can scrutinize the basic math and find the hundreds of thousands of hidden dollars that are absconded from them every year. Rest assured their accounting system of the funds in their piggy banks is of much higher caliber than what is currently being exercised by that of the WFD.
I'm certain that Mr. Cote frustrates the hell out of the rank and file, as he remains factually accurate on all of the above. However, I would be cautious when using the words "proficient" and "math" in the same sentence within the broader context of the city of Warwick.


When it comes to simplifying your business, what kinds of processes come to mind?
The most important thing you can do is streamline your operations, but what kind of tools can you use to get the ball rolling?
Business process automation is the concept that is gaining a lot of traction thanks to the fact that it can achieve some incredible results without overhauling how you work today. Simply by digitizing and automating various operations, including those on the back end, you can reduce a lot of work and time spent by your employees.
Even though there can be a lot of different details involved in automating your business procedures, we have compiled a list of seven different methods that you can use to get on track. Once you see the potential of these changes, you will wonder how you ever got along without them.
Before you can dive into the various tools and software that you can use for the different parts of your business, you need to understand what can be improved. This means that you should take the time to break down all of your business operations by department and create a list of steps for each action.
In this case, you want to be as comprehensive and precise as possible. The more detailed you get, the easier it will be to identify and pinpoint tasks that can be automated to save time. The goal here is to locate pain points and bottlenecks first so that you can address those immediately.
As you go, you will also notice that your automation software will usually handle other parts of the job that you may not have considered. As such, it could be that once you automate a particular pain point, it filters out into all of the different operations for that department, which will bring the rest of it online.
When you take a hard look at most of your operations, you will notice that they can usually be broken down into action and approval. Thus, it's imperative that you look at all of the steps that need to be taken for the process to go from inception to completion so that you can better create a solution for it.
For example, if your employees have to fill out documentation and then submit it for approval from the boss, then your steps may be as follows. First, the worker fills out the paperwork, then he or she scans it into the computer, sends it out for approval, where it is either looked over or printed out and signed off Then, the approved document is sent back to the employee who can then file the paper away.
In this case, we have five different steps. Automation can automatically help out with two of those steps by allowing your employees to create documents digitally instead of on paper. This way, rather than having to scan physical material that can't be edited on the computer, you can make changes or updates in real time based on the notes from the supervisor.
Overall, the goal in this step is to figure out what exactly your automation will do to alleviate the pain points that you found in step one. Essentially you are pre-validating the idea before you even decide on a particular tool or program.
Fortunately, since technology has become so ubiquitous these days, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a system or application that can fit within your parameters. Whether it's a program that will allow you to digitize work orders or software that can help you secure and manage customer files through the cloud, there are tons of different options from which you can choose.
During this step, the important thing is to find a system that can be finessed and customized to fit your company. Thus, instead of conforming your operations to fit the program, you should find something that can change to meet your needs.
As we mentioned, a lot of these applications can take on much more than a single process, so if you can find something that alleviates multiple pain points at once, it will be much more valuable to your bottom line than trying to implement different programs and trying to make them sync after the fact.
Once you have a product or application in mind, the next step is to figure out how you are going to implement it into your current system. During this phase, you should be in contact with the developers of the solution so that you can answer any questions you may have and figure out the best method of rolling it out to your employees.
Things to consider when planning are: cost, training, and deadlines. You should create a timeline of how long it will take to switch over to the new system, looking at potential drawbacks or issues that may happen along the way. This is another reason to talk to the developer as it will allow you to be better prepared for such problems so that you can hopefully avoid them altogether.
Another thing to remember here is that if you are rolling out multiple systems that you should stagger them to allow time for your staff to get used to each change. If you try to do too much at once, it could be overwhelming and cause problems during the transition.
In some cases, this may or may not be a viable option, but we highly recommend going this route if you can because it can prove to be a crucial experience overall. During this phase, you can see how the program and automation work in real time, which will give you a much better idea of how it can all come together when you roll it out for real.
The important thing to remember with this step is that the idea is to see what potential issues may arise from switching to the new system, as well as making sure that it improves your operations in the way that you wanted it to. Now is the time to fiddle with things and make adjustments as needed so that when it goes live you don't have much in the way of growing pains.
The best thing about running a pilot program is that if the application proves to be either too difficult or costly to be beneficial, you can still go back to square one without having invested too much time or money into it.
Once you feel satisfied with the results of the pilot program, now is the time to make it official. By now, everyone involved in the new process (both workers and supervisors) should have a good idea of what to expect, which will make the transition much more seamless and trouble-free.
During this phase, you should be following the timeline and the plan that you developed in step four (and adjusted in step five). Having this plan also allows you to determine if you are ahead or behind schedule. If things are not going according to plan, then you want to make detailed notes about what is going differently and how you are dealing with it. This way, when it comes time to automate a new process you can be better prepared so that you don't make the same mistakes again.
For most companies, the roll-out phase is the end of the line. Once you've fully switched over, that's all there is to it, right? Well, the fact is that you still want to pay attention to the system and make adjustments after the fact so that you can refine it and make it better. Transitioning to automation is not just a one-time thing, but it's rather a continuing process that can be customized and tweaked as needed.
The important thing during this phase is to make sure that you are getting the right kind of validation that you expected when you drew up your pain points and plan of action. If things are not as good as you thought, then you need to understand why. After the first six months or so, you should have a much better idea of how things are going, and the analysis of the change can be invaluable for your business. Overall, it's important to be able to make a comparison so that you can make sure that you're getting the value that you deserve.
Once you've started automating your business processes, you will discover that there is so much more potential than you initially thought. At first, you may believe that only front-facing, customer service operations could be automated, but then you discover a brand-new tool that can make your accounting department run much more smoothly.
In the end, the important thing to remember is that you can always improve your operations, so you should never consider your job to be done. Even after transitioning to a system that makes your old methods look ancient, you should still be on the lookout for something better. As long as there is potential to improve your bottom line, you should always be considering new business process automation solutions.

I've been working on one (there are an incredible amount of fields). Once its complete is there a place to post it or should I send it to someone?
I'd email it directly to Solo, and link this thread as well.
We ARE in the Workshop. Just post it as an attachment in this thread.
I have attached a form-fillable version of Dyson Logos character sheet. Comments and critiques are welcome.
Awesome work, ybn1197! I am a year late for a "thank you" but... THANK YOU!
