Launch of Make Amends Project
News Release PR4998 - published on 26 March 2015
A new project which brings together people who have committed a crime with their victims is being launched by Torbay Council.
Make Amends is a partnership project that uses a process called Restorative Justice to bring people affected by crime, conflict, anti-social behaviour and the harmful actions of others together with those who are responsible for causing harm.
The project is launching on 1 April 2015 with a community engagement event in Union Street, Torquay between 10am and 3pm. Staff and volunteers from Make Amends will be on hand to raise awareness of what restorative justice is, provide more information about the project and have information on how to make a referral.
Frances Hughes, Executive Head for Community Safety said: "We are really pleased to be launching Make Amends. Restorative Justice can be a powerful experience, not only as a method for an offender to appreciate the damage and ongoing harm they have caused to others, but also as a way of empowering victims by giving them an opportunity to explain the impact that the event has had on them and those around them. What's more, restorative meetings result in high levels of satisfaction for victims and decrease the likelihood of offenders reoffending."
Restorative Justice works alongside the existing justice systems by giving those harmed an opportunity to have a voice in a way which doesn't always happen in formal proceedings. For a restorative meeting to take place both parties need to freely consent to the meeting. Once they have agreed, trained independent and sensitive restorative practitioners from Make Amends will work with both parties to prepare them for the meeting.
Detective Sergeant Anya Teakle from the TurnAround Team, Devon and Cornwall Police, said: "Restorative Justice gives victims the opportunity to share their pain and explain the impact the crime has had on them and their lives in a safe environment. It can also help reassure victims and bring answers to many questions they may have, as well as bring closure for some victims. Often the unknown is scarier than the reality and meeting the offender who caused the harm can help victims understand why the crime happened and assist in rebuilding their confidence."
From the 1 April 2015, Make Amends can accept referrals from agencies, voluntary and community groups as well as self referrals. If you think that you would benefit from Restorative Justice you can contact a trained practitioner by calling the referral line on 07826 903449 to talk about your options. You can alternatively email: makeamends@torbay.gcsx.gov.uk.

Our vandal proof emergency lights are some of the best luminaries in areas where tampering and vandalism are a constant threat to electrical equipment. Your emergency lighting system will last close to a decade if properly maintained, so spending a few bucks more on a vandal proof unit makes a lot of sense.
These lights are built to take a beating in areas of your building that can't be monitored closely.
These super strong lights are also a bit more compact than standard steel fixtures. The VP-EL is the ideal emergency lighting fixture in prisons, hospitals, hotels, police stations and amusement parks.
The VP-EL has a standard white powder coated finish which protects the 20-gauge steel body of the light. Two cubical lexan polycarbonate lenses protect the side-mounted halogen lamps and are virtually indestructible. A push button on the unit allows for quick, easy diagnostic.
Inside the vandal proof emergency light's steel housing is the circuit board, transformer and battery backup system. A steel access panel allows effortless access to all internal components. Can take a 6v or 12v sealed lead acid battery, or can connect to a remote power source via magnum terminals.
Nickel Cadmium Battery - NiCad battery backups weigh less and are safer than sealed lead acid cells. They last 5-7 years and are easier to replace.
Housing Color - custom finishes available; expect a longer delivery time.

Migrants and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in media
Tags: diversity, Gender, migration, publications, Refugees, resources
A collaboration of a team of media scholars, Jakob-Moritz Eberla, Christine E. Meltzerb, Tobias Heidenreicha, Beatrice Herreroc, Nora Theorind, Fabienne Linda, Rosa Berganzac, Hajo G. Boomgaardena, Christian Schemerb, and Jesper Strömbäckd, resulted in a publication "European media discourse on migration and its effects: a literature review", which sets to explore the landscape of media research covering the media discourse on immigration and its effects across Europe.
The literature review addresses a general problem of under-representation and depicting migrants as delinquents or criminals. Although, media framing differs for specific migrant groups and used discourses, immigration coverage is often negative and conflict-centered, the publication shows. Repetitive exposure to negative messages on migrants leads to negative attitudes towards migration, enforcing stereotypical approach towards the groups, and even influence voting decisions.
Female migrants are even less visible
The research confirms, that migrants and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in media, compared to the respective number of people living in the country. This is particularly visible talking about intra-European migrants. Instead, as seen in the Netherlands and Germany, the most significant social group of immigrants in the news coverage are asylum seekers, and the tendency is reaching while before the refugee crisis 2014-2015. Similarly, in Sweden, news coverage overwhelmingly focused on refugees in the period of 2010-2015, whereas labour migration was covered scarcely.
A study of British television programmes indicates an increase in representations of ethnic minorities, this may be particularly tied to public broadcasting stations having to abide by normative standards of diversity. A study of British newspapers shows that the visibility of migrant and minority actors also increases with their obtrusiveness to the reporting country. In the British press, migration from Eastern Europe was increasingly discussed in 2014, when Romanian and Bulgarian migrants obtained access to labour markets across the EU.
Finally, female migrants are doubly disadvantaged as a minority in media coverage, as they are even less visible than male immigrants
Study shows, that the terms 'migrants' and 'immigrants' are closely associated with the media frame of economic threat – for instance, threat of increased competition on the labour market,- while 'refugees' and 'asylum seekers' are associated with an economic burden – such as a burden on the country's welfare system. In general, Eastern Europeans are more often depicted as a threat to the economy and welfare system, while Non-Europeans are seen as a threat to the host countries' culture. Conversely, some studies show the refugees being often depicted in the context of economic crisis, antipathy of Islam, or terrorism, which relates to the threat-framing.
The differences in framing may be caused by varying editorial approaches by different media, with tabloid papers deliberately tending to cover immigration more negatively than the highbrow press, or may also arise because media outlets focus on different parts of the immigration debate. For example, the cultural frame is more prevalent in the media discourse about integration of immigrants, while the labour, welfare, and economic frames are more present when it comes to the question of immigration itself.
Negativity and certain tone towards immigration-related issues and migrant groups may also vary between media genres. Comparing different television formats it was found that ethnic minorities are portrayed more positively in talk shows than in any other television format. Furthermore, there are differences between types of media as well. On average, television news tend to portray immigration or immigrants much more negatively than print news. While liberal newspapers will, at times, exhibit more positive portrayals of immigrants than conservative ones, they may also focus on different dimensions of negativity – conservative newspapers focusing more on crime, and liberal newspapers on more moderate issue of group-related problems.
Geography of media research
When considering the researches referring to European discourse on migration, the media researches focus on only a few key countries in Europe. In fact, based on the systematic review using the EBSCOhost database, 78 studies were identified using quantitative or qualitative methods of content analysis, dealing with media coverage about immigration. The studies cover a wide range of European countries, but only 19 studies investigate an Eastern European country (including Russia). Furthermore, only 20 studies investigate more than one, and only 9 more than two countries. More importantly, even when the studies have a comparative set-up, they are often limited to mere descriptions of results, without the aim of explaining differences between countries.
The Western European dominance becomes more palpable when looking at media effects studies. Out of 22 identified journal publications, merely one investigates an Eastern European country (namely Romania) and only three are comparative studies. While this systematic search is far from comprehensive, it should still provide a good overview of geographical focus of the recent literature.
The researchers affirm, that Europe is not a homogeneous group of countries. Thus, the visibility and framing of immigration issues and actors, as well as their impacts, may differ in more or less systematic ways.
The full study can be found here.

My Heart Is Bound Up with Them
How Carlos Montezuma Became the Voice of a Generation
David Martínez (Author)
Paperback ($30.00), Hardcover ($100.00), Ebook ($30.00) Buy
Carlos Montezuma is well known as an influential Indigenous figure of the turn of the twentieth century. While some believe he was largely interested only in enabling Indians to assimilate into mainstream white society, Montezuma's image as a staunch assimilationist changes dramatically when viewed through the lens of his Yavapai relatives at Fort McDowell in Arizona.
Through his diligent research and transcription of the letters archived in the Carlos Montezuma Collection at Arizona State University Libraries, David Martínez offers a critical new perspective on Montezuma's biography and legacy. During an attempt to force the Fort McDowell Yavapai community off of their traditional homelands north of Phoenix, the Yavapai community members and leaders wrote to Montezuma pleading for help. It was these letters and personal correspondence from his Yavapai cousins George and Charles Dickens, as well as Mike Burns that sparked Montezuma's desperate but principled desire to liberate his Yavapai family and community—and all Indigenous people—from the clutches of an oppressive Indian Bureau.
Centering historically neglected Indigenous voices as his primary source material, Martínez elevates Montezuma's correspondence and interactions with his family and their community and shows how it influenced his advocacy. Martínez argues that Montezuma's work in Arizona directly contributed to his national projects. For his Yavapai community, Montezuma set an example as a resistance fighter and advocate on behalf of his people and other Indigenous groups. Martínez offers a critical exploration of history, memory, the formation of archival collections, and the art of writing biography.
"In this important work, David Martínez offers a fresh perspective on the life and times of Carlos Montezuma, one of the most influential Indigenous people of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In so doing, he invites his readers into a critical exploration of history, memory, the formation of archival collections, and the art of writing biography."—Daniel M. Cobb, editor of Say We Are Nations: Documents of Politics and Protest in Indigenous America since 1887
"In this fascinating portrait of an Indigenous community and an Indigenous activist, David Martínez shows that Carlos Montezuma's thundering opposition to the BIA came from his personal experience with the BIA's tyrannous attempts to sever his relatives from their remnant of homeland. The Fort McDowell Yavapais gave voice to Carlos Montezuma every bit as much as he gave voice to them."—Daniel Herman, author of The Feudist: A Novel of the Pleasant Valley War

Q: How would I go about embedding JSON data into my HTML file? I'm currently working on a project where I'm creating a playable ad I'd like to upload to Facebook.
According to Facebook's ad specifications: (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/412951382532338?helpref=faq_content)
They only accept a single HTML file of size less than 2mb for uploading. This means I need to inline all external references to a single HTML file. Which brings me to my problem:
In order to speed up development I use game engines like PlayCanvas and Phaser Editor. The issue I'm facing with most game engines is that they always have data stored in a JSON file that makes it difficult to reference into an HTML file. Is there any way I can inline this data into my file as well?
JSON data containing a base64 encoded image:
"section": [{
    "type": "image",
    "key": "logo",
    "url": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEn.........",
   "overwrite": false
  }],
  "meta": {
    "generated": "1543491968969",
    "app": "Phaser Editor",
    "url": "http://phasereditor.boniatillo.com",
    "version": "1.0",
    "copyright": "Arian Fornaris (c) 2015,2016"
  }
}

Function that references this data in my HTML file:
Level.prototype.preload = function ()
  {
    this.load.pack('section', 'assets/pack.json');
  };

Is there a way I can load the referenced data from the JSON file into this function? I've tried using

and then inlining code inside the braces. Replacing 'assets/pack.json' with this code. I've also tried replacing 'section' with it's respective JSON data but I've not been successful. I hope there's someone out there who can understand how this function works and how it would be possible to inline this data there.
I'm also curious if there are any game engines or softwares that would output a single HTML file that I could use in my development.
I'd like to thank everyone in advance and I appreciate any help in solving this.

A: I think you can achieve this by creating a HTML field which is hidden and setting it's data- to be an object like this.

The The fabric is suspended from a rod held up by rings, tabs or rod pocket casings. Typically window curtains are pulled back by lifting the panels away from the center and tying them back with decorative ropes or you can loop them over designer hooks. Window curtains are a terrific way to add elegance to a room. If the concept of fabric at the windows does not interest you then vinyl window curtains are another option to consider as you conduct your search.
Even sheer curtains for window coverings are another idea. Just about any type of the curtain will add a luxurious finish to your room. For rooms where privacy is not a concern then you might want to check into dress curtains which use less fabric since they don't cover the entire width of the window. This is especially useful if you have decorative windows that you want mostly exposed. Patio and French doors would benefit better from hanging full-length curtains for privacy.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. – The Oral Roberts volleyball team got back to its winning ways Saturday night picking up a decisive three-set victory over Fort Wayne in The Summit League play (25-22, 25-20, 25-18) giving head coach Sheera Sirola her 250th career victory.
Lucija Bojanjac put together an all-around performance for the Golden Eagles posting a double-double with 29 set assists and 10 digs in handing the Mastodons just their second loss in conference play this season. Laura Milos tallied 20 kills pacing the offense as ORU won for the fourth time in five matches evening its record in league play at 4-4.
Coach Sirola won her 250th career match behind the bench of the Golden Eagles Saturday increasing her already program-best win total.
ORU led wire-to-wire in both the first and last sets of the match and used a late run to erase a second-set deficit in the sweep.
The Golden Eagles controlled the net totaling seven blocks compared to just two for the Mastodons. Taylan Nero paced the defense with five block assists and Milos added three, while Megan Doran contributed the only solo block.
Doran made the most of her return to the starting lineup as the sophomore tallied her second-most kills of the season with seven.
Milos now has registered double-figure kills in 19 of her 20 appearances this season.
ORU again showcased its aggressive serving style posting seven aces on the night, led by Katarina Mikulic's three.
Nicole Rightnowar led the Fort Wayne offense as the only player to reach double-digit kills with 13.
ORU returns home from the weekend split for a pair of home matches in league play against South Dakota (Oct. 21) and North Dakota State (Oct. 22) at the Aerobics Center.


My favorite part of new hip-hop is the extent of where the sample or influence come from; new acts like Marky are perfect examples of this. We first heard Marky on the remix of Aloe Black's "I Need A Dollar" and I'm not gonna lie I thought this guy was just another rapper who happened to rip up a popular beat. With his second mix tape "Journey To Markyland: Rest Stop 2" this up and comer gives us a little insight into the path his career is on. I like to see the random samples that current rappers have been spittin' over as of late. The song "Louis Squares" Featurins Nas' beat from "Take it in Blood" showing a potential influence on Marky's rapping style. But Marky doesn't only feature classic Hip-Hop Beats but he also delivers us an electro styled track that have become the common trend among rappers today. Seeing all these different influences apparent in current rap gives me hope for the future of Hip-Hop, us classic Hip-Hop fans just need to adapt to what's happening to rap now a days. Lastly the track "Run On" features a Johnny Cash Sample that Marky rips, showing the versatility of this DC native.

Hey Guys, Today, I am going to write about World's Thinnest Mi LED Smart TV 4 by Xiaomi. Xiaomi has been in India for nearly four years now, and their smartphones have become very popular since then. I have seen many videos of smartphone launch by Xiaomi, and have seen a lot of journalists asking one common question to Xiaomi representatives.
Well, it took almost four years, and since the past few quarters, Xiaomi continues to be giving some tough competition to Samsung in the cellphones industry. Imagine the time couldn't have been suitable introducing its much-awaited product category. We eventually have the Mi LED Smart TV 4 with us.
Xiaomi has recently launched Mi LED Smart TV 4 on February 14, 2018, as the best Valentine's Gift to India. It comes with a 55-inch 4K HDr display and costs Rs 39,999.
Mr. Wang Chuan, the Co-founder of Xiaomi, says that they want to bring the best TV product and the best user experience to India Mi Fans. And, the company claims is designed keeping in mind the Indian audience.
So, here's answering the million-dollar question. Is the TV worth the asking price? The short answer is yes!
The Xiaomi Mi LED Smart TV 4 is undoubtedly one of the best looking smart TV available in the market. Looking at the TV one can quickly make out the company has invested a lot in its design aesthetics. The smart television is very slim with only 4.9mm thickness. You don't even get smartphones which are that thin.
The device has a thick bottom, where the company has placed all the internal circuit of the device. It comes with two metallic L-shaped stands and can also be mounted on the wall.
Now, let's talk about the display, the Xiaomi Mi LED Smart TV 4 supports a Samsung manufactured 10-bit VA panel. The 54.5-inch display provides a refresh rate of 60Hz and contrast ratio of 6000:1. The device features 4K resolution with 3840×2160 pixel resolution. The smart TV can produce colors with HDR capabilities. The TV is capable of producing 1,024 colors as per primary color rather than the 256 colors per primary color which is offered by many other smart TV within this price segment.
The television offers 2 USB ports, 3 HDMI ports, an Ethernet port and the AV input. Along with this, the device also offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. All these ports are placed on the rear of the device at the bottom. The minimalist design and bezel-less display of the Smart TV ensure that the viewers don't shift their focus from the content to anything else.
If we talk about the innards, the Xiaomi Smart TV is powered by a 64-bit quad-core Amlogic T968 chipset which is 1.8GHz. The product features 8GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. The company claims that this is for the software updates and apps and users will not be able to download any TV shows on the internal storage.
Talking about the software, the Xiaomi Mi LED Smart TV 4 runs PacthWall is own OS based on Android 6.0. The key highlight of PatchWall is that it keeps all of the content at the front and you don't need to search for it.
Users may stream content from the numerous applications available. The company claims that the smart TV offers 500,000+ hours of content. At this point, the company has partnered with Hungama Play, Sony Liv, Alt Balaji, Voot Kids, Voot, and is focusing on some more associations. The user interface is quite clean, and you quickly get used to it. It looks similar to the interface of LG's webOS, and it is also pretty interactive. You will observe thumbnails for the various Television shows and movies on the screen.
Getting the cue from its TV design the corporation has additionally kept the appearance of the remote very simple. The remote is exceptionally sleek and come with 11 buttons.
It is made out of plastic and supports two AAA batteries. The remote connects to the LED via Bluetooth, which means that you will no longer have to point the remote in a specific direction to make it operate.
Furthermore, the TV remote also works as a universal remote, which means you don't need to use the large remote provided by your DTH provider to control the television. The company also provides an additional accessory called the Mi IR set-top box controller that has to be purchased separately. Users need to attach the cable to the Television to enable them to use the remote for the TV along with the set-top box.
Users will also be able to control the remote with the app available on the smartphone. The company has also launched a mobile application which will enable users to control the Mi LED Smart TV 4.
The app offers a clean and simple UI, and it also enables the users to take screenshots of the TV and save it on the phone. It also offers a feature called app, that allows users to open apps on the TV from their smartphones. The app also provided an option to convert the phone into a gamepad.

Along with this, the TV also offers support for voice commands so you can use that feature as well to look for the content. The OS also provides support for 15 Indian languages, and you can set the interface of the TV in your choice of language.
The Xiaomi Mi LED Smart TV 4 comes with a price tag of Rs 39,999. This is the only TV available on the market that offers all the high-end features at this price. Along with this, its minimalistic design and interactive operating system act as an added advantage. Unlike other manufacturers, the company also said that it will keep on rolling out timely updates for the TV in order to offer better user experience.

These conditions can lead to leaks, damage to roofing components and ultimately premature failure of the roof system. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles will cause damage at an even quicker rate, so it is essential to prevent water from ponding on roof surfaces.
Proper design, installation and maintenance of roofing structures can prevent this condition and its associated problems. If a deck does not provide the necessary slope to drain, the GreenSlope™ roof leveling compound can be used to achieve the necessary slope and to allow for moisture drainage. GreenSlope's ease of application, wide compatibility, superior adhesion and durability make it an ideal roof pond patch and filler.
GreenSlope™ is a sloping material used to fill roof ponding areas and divert standing water by creating positive slope over a variety of substrates including modified bitumen, built up roofs, concrete roofs, plywood, and single-ply membranes (PVC, TPO, EPDM) Roofs. An innovative method for filling and leveling roof "ponds" GreenSlope™ is a blend of special binders, recycled fine mesh crumb rubber and admixtures formulated for use on a variety of flat roof systems. This fast-drying formula allows for same-day waterproof topcoating to help contractors eliminate challenges quickly and easily. GreenSlope's high durability, wide compatibility, and simple ease of use make it an indispensable asset for roof management and preventative maintenance service divisions.
Always clean the roof surface prior to the application of primers, coatings, asphalt membranes and other types of roofing materials that require clean surfaces to ensure adhesion. Clean the ponded area as dirt collects in these areas and then rinse with clean water and let dry.
To begin application, remove all contents from the 5 gallon pail, leaving only the GreenSlope™ granules. Pour the polyurethane binder into the pail and mix thoroughly to achieve a consistent blend. Prime the area being repaired using the enclosed primer. Using a pointed trowel or screen board, evenly spread the material onto the low section of the roof to help bring the roof surface back to its original slope and achieve positive water flow to desired drainage areas. Tamp down with a trowel to close any open pores – especially around the perimeter to prevent water infiltration. Allow to dry for 24 hours prior to applying a coating over the surface to match the color of the existing roof and fully waterproof the area.

I am trying to load temperature dependent data from a text file into a material database, but it is not reading the temperature in as shown in the file. Example: the temps in my file are in Farenheit, the units drop down in the SolidWorks window is set for Farenheit, yet the values are not showing up correctly. the lowest value (-422.538) is showing up as -1220.24, and the highest (797.716) is coming in as 976.219. If I switch to Kelvin, they show up correctly. It is doing this for all of them.
version/service pack? have you checked the solidworks kb for known issues?
Sorry - 2014 SP2. Can't find anything in kb, but I didn't do an exhaustive search. I found out how to get the numbers in right (at least it looks right at this point.) If I convert the units of my data to SI units and bring them in to SI units in the Material database, it seems to work. When I switch over to other units in the database after bringing them in using SI units, everything looks fine.
Basically - don't use anything other than SI units when bringing in temp dependent curves. This must be a new bug. I find it hard to believe no one has run across this yet.
I checked with Solidworks 2011 Sp5.0, 2013 Sp5.0 and 2014 Sp3.0. When your loading .dat or .csv file format for Temperature dependent material properties. It always takes your temperature as K not what your setting the Units from the drop down menu.

What Is a Freeze Out?
A freeze-out (also referred to as a squeeze out) is an action taken by a firm's majority shareholders that pressures minority holders to sell their stakes in the company. A variety of maneuvers may be considered freeze-out tactics, such as the termination of minority shareholder employees or the refusal to declare dividends.
A freeze out (or squeeze out) is a shareholder action where majority holders pressure minority holders into selling their shares.
This pressure may be introduced by majority holders voting to terminate minority shareholder employees or not declaring dividends.
Freeze outs may accompany a corporate merger or acquisition that suspend minority voting rights.
Freeze outs are subject to regulatory scrutiny, but the legal terrain is complicated.
Freeze Out Explained
Freeze-outs usually occur in closely-held companies, wherein the majority shareholders can converse with one another. The majority shareholders will attempt to freeze out the minority from the decision making process, rendering minority voting rights useless. Such actions may be illegal and could be overturned by the courts after review. This action is often accomplished using an acquisition. Many states have defined what is permissible in freeze-outs through their existing statutes on corporate mergers and acquisitions.
In a typical freeze-out merger, the controlling shareholder(s) may set up a new corporation that they own and control. This new company would then submit a tender offer to the other company hoping to force the minority shareholders to give up their equity position. If the tender offer is successful, the acquiring company may choose to merge their assets into the new corporation.
In this scenario, non-tendering shareholders would essentially lose their shares as the company would no longer exist. While non-tendering shareholders would generally receive compensation (cash or securities) for their shares as part of the transaction, they would no longer retain their minority ownership stake.
Laws and Fiduciary Duty
Historically, freeze-outs by controlling shareholders have faced differing levels of legal scrutiny.
In the 1952 case of Sterling v. Mayflower Hotel Corp., the Supreme Court in Delaware established a fairness standard that would apply to all mergers, including freeze-outs. It ruled that when an acquiring company and its directors "stand on both sides of the transaction, they bear the burden of establishing the merger's entire fairness, and it must pass the test of careful scrutiny by the courts."
Although the law was once hostile to freeze-outs, they are generally more accepted in corporate acquisitions these days. Courts generally require that as part of a fair transaction, an acquisition should have both a business purpose and fair compensation for shareholders.
Corporate charters may contain a freeze-out provision that allows an acquiring company to purchase the stock of minority shareholders for fair cash value within a defined period of time after the acquisition is completed.
Corporate Action Definition
A corporate action is any event, usually approved by the firm's board of directors, that brings material change to a company and affects its stakeholders.
Opt-Out Vote
An opt-out vote is a shareholder vote undertaken to determine if certain laws and regulations regarding corporate takeovers are to be waived.
Contingent Shares Definition
"Contingent shares" refers to shares of stock that would be issued to one or more shareholders provided that certain conditions are met.
A takeover bid is a corporate action in which an acquiring company presents an offer to a target company in attempt to assume control of it.
Expropriation is when the government seizes privately owned property to be used for the benefit of the public.
Shares are a unit of ownership of a company that may be purchased by an investor.

Oak Wilt is caused by a non-native fungus and is a prevalent tree disease affecting oak trees in Minnesota. Oak will can be prevented - and there are some treatments that may be an option. Red Oaks must be treated before they are infected, but White Oaks can be treated in earlier stages.
Oak wilt is most commonly spread from diseased to healthy trees either below-ground via connected roots or above-ground by insects (sap beetles). Transmission by the beetles occurs during April through mid-July. These beetles are attracted to fresh, wood-penetrating wounds in oak trees, therefore it is important to avoiding wounding or cutting healthy oaks, particularly during spring and early summer. If damage does occur to an oak on your property, it is important to immediately treat the cut/damaged surface with water-based paint, a pruning/wound sealer, or shellac.
Preventing the spread of oak wilt from an infected tree to a nearby healthy oak tree via connected roots is usually accomplished through root plowing, where the connected roots between diseased and healthy oaks are cut with a vibrating plow. The diseased oak tree (or trees) then have to be cut down and removed from the property.
In a few cases, oak wilt can be treated through the use of fungicide injections for white oaks in the very early staged of oak wilt, Fungicide injections can also be done to oak trees near an infected tree know to have Oak Wilt. These injections to treat oak wilt should only be done by a certified tree professional.
If you are concerned that you have oak wilt in some of your oak trees, call Pioneer Tree Service at (763) 238-5254 to setup an appointment. Anoka County and Sherburne County have the highest concentration of oak wilt in the state, and it is important to identify and treat your trees immediately.

Givati soldiers accused of spitting at Armenian archbishop
Elizabeth Stone | November 29, 2022 | News | No Comments
IDF Soldiers from the Givati Brigade are suspected of spitting in the direction of an Armenian archbishop and other pilgrims during a procession earlier this month in the Old City of Jerusalem, the Haaretz newspaper reported.
The incident added to a series of cases of controversial behavior by infantry soldiers over the past month.
According to the report, two soldiers were detained by the police on the spot, and a total of three were subsequently interrogated by the IDF.
The military decided that the two soldiers would be disciplined for "disrespectful behavior", without specifying the wording of the charge.
Church officials reported that on November 7, Archbishop Sevan Gharibian, grand sacristan of the Armenian Apostolic Patriarchate of Jerusalem, along with other senior officials, led a procession that was attended by pilgrims from abroad to celebrate the Feast of the Cross.
The procession started from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and, upon reaching the market square, passed several Givati soldiers, some of whom allegedly spat on the participants and the cross they were carrying.
Koryun Baghdasaryan, Chancellor of the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem, said, that although the church has experienced such behavior in the past from religious Jews in Jerusalem, "this is the first time the soldiers are spitting on us, on the cross, and on the priests who were there."
" They stood there and expressed their hatred for the cross and for Christianity," — he said.
Church officials have filed a police report, and the investigation is still ongoing.
The military said "the incident is not in line with IDF values."

The 3205th Drone Squadron is a discontinued United States Air Force unit.  It was last active with the Air Proving Ground Center based at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, where it was discontinued on 25 October 1963.  The squadron operated various drones between 1950 and 1963 to provide targets to support development of weapons and for interceptor training.

History

The 3205th Drone Squadron was organized in April 1950, when it assumed the mission of operating QB-17L Flying Fortresses as drone aerial targets from the 550th Guided Missiles Wing.   The squadron operated QB-17 drones and DB-17 controller aircraft, providing aerial targets for surface-to-air and air-to-air missile development programs at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.   The unit also used QF-80 Shooting Star jets for aerial gunnery targets for Air Defense Command interceptor squadrons.

The squadron deployed elements to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Nevada Test Site and Pacific Proving Grounds during the 1950s, flying drone Flying Fortresses equipped with air sampling equipment and other instrumentation though atomic and nuclear testing mushroom clouds for post-detonation analysis.   This support for nuclear testing ended in 1957, and the mission was taken over by the 4901st Support Wing (Atomic) at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.

In the late 1950s as the supply of drone B-17s began to become exhausted, the squadron began to use QB-47E Stratojets as gunnery targets for missile tests.  It operated the QB-47 until the early 1960s.  Approximately 10 B-47 aircraft were converted to drones.  Test missiles were programmed for a near-miss rather than a hit on the drone in order to conserve the target drones for multiple flights.

Beginning in 1960, the squadron's QF-80 Shooting Star target drones were replaced by QF-104A Starfighters, modified F-104As that were deemed surplus to United States Air Force requirements. The QF-104s could be flown either by onboard pilots or by remote control from the ground or other aircraft. The replacement process was completed by July 1962.

The squadron was discontinued in late 1963 and its mission was taken over by USAF Tactical Air Warfare Center when the aerial target mission at Eglin was transferred from Air Force Systems Command to Tactical Air Command.   QF-104 aerial targets were primarily used for air-to-air gunnery targets by Air Defense Command Convair F-102 Delta Dagger and F-106 Delta Dart interceptors.  The drone mission continued at Eglin until June 1971, when it was transferred to Aerospace Defense Command's air-to-air weapons school at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida.

A Pilot Study Measuring the Distribution and Permeability of a Vaginal HIV Microbicide Gel Vehicle Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography/Computed Tomography, and a Radiolabeled Small Molecule
Edward J. Fuchs, Jill L. Schwartz, David R. Friend, Jenell S. Coleman, Craig W. Hendrix
Vaginal microbicide gels containing tenofovir have proven effective in HIV prevention, offering the advantage of reduced systemic toxicity. We studied the vaginal distribution and effect on mucosal permeability of a gel vehicle. Six premenopausal women were enrolled. In Phase 1, a spreading gel containing 99mtechnetium-DTPA (99mTc) radiolabel and gadolinium contrast for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was dosed intravaginally. MRI was obtained at 0.5, 4, and 24 h, and single photon emission computed tomography with conventional computed tomography (SPECT/CT) at 1.5, 5, and 25 h postdosing. Pads and tissues were measured for activity to determine gel loss. In Phase 2, nonoxynol-9 (N-9), containing 99mTc-DTPA, was dosed as a permeability control; permeability was measured in blood and urine for both phases. SPECT/CT showed the distribution of spreading gel throughout the vagina with the highest concentration of radiosignal in the fornices and ectocervix; signal intensity diminished over 25 h. MRI showed the greatest signal accumulation in the fornices, most notably 1-4 h postdosing. The median (interquartile range) isotope signal loss from the vagina through 6 h was 29.1% (15.8-39.9%). Mucosal permeability to 99mTc-DTPA following spreading gel was negligible, in contrast to N-9, with detectable radiosignal in plasma, peaking at 8 h (5-12). Following spreading gel dosing, 0.004% (0.001-2.04%) of the radiosignal accumulated in urine over 12 h compared to 8.31% (7.07-11.01%) with N-9, (p=0.043). Spreading gel distributed variably throughout the vagina, persisting for 24 h, with signal concentrating in the fornices and ectocervix. The spreading gel had no significant effect on vaginal mucosal permeability.

Cassini se situe dans l'est de la région d'Arabia Terra, non loin de Terra Sabaea, au nord du cratère Tikhonravov. Toute cette région a été identifiée au début du siècle comme l'une des plus riches en eau de la surface de Mars, grâce au spectromètre à neutrons du spectromètre à rayons X de la sonde américaine 2001 Mars Odyssey. La topographie des environs de Cassini est de ce point de vue révélatrice d'un lointain passé humide par l'abondance relative des formations évoquant des lits de cours d'eau fossilisés, tels que Scamander Vallis au sud et Indus Vallis au sud-est.

Des études récentes indiqueraient par ailleurs que certains cratères d'impact d'Arabia Terra ont pu contenir de grands lacs : Cassini en ferait partie, dans la mesure où ses contours semblent avoir été atténués par les eaux, avec des chenaux de flux et de reflux ; il aurait alors contenu plus d'eau que le lac Baïkal.

Enfin, la région a également été identifiée comme étant l'une des principales source de méthane dans l'atmosphère de Mars, méthane qui pourrait provenir d'un processus hydrothermal souterrain.

//. # sanctuary-type-identifiers
//.
//. A type is a set of values. Boolean, for example, is the type comprising
//. `true` and `false`. A value may be a member of multiple types (`42` is a
//. member of Number, PositiveNumber, Integer, and many other types).
//.
//. In certain situations it is useful to divide JavaScript values into
//. non-overlapping types. The language provides two constructs for this
//. purpose: the [`typeof`][1] operator and [`Object.prototype.toString`][2].
//. Each has pros and cons, but neither supports user-defined types.
//.
//. sanctuary-type-identifiers comprises:
//.
//.   - an npm and browser -compatible package for deriving the
//.     _type identifier_ of a JavaScript value; and
//.   - a specification which authors may follow to specify type
//.     identifiers for their types.
//.
//. ### Specification
//.
//. For a type to be compatible with the algorithm:
//.
//.   - every member of the type MUST have a `constructor` property
//.     pointing to an object known as the _type representative_;
//.
//.   - the type representative MUST have a `@@type` property
//.     (the _type identifier_); and
//.
//.   - the type identifier MUST be a string primitive and SHOULD have
//.     format `'<namespace>/<name>[@<version>]'`, where:
//.
//.       - `<namespace>` MUST consist of one or more characters, and
//.         SHOULD equal the name of the npm package which defines the
//.         type (including [scope][3] where appropriate);
//.
//.       - `<name>` MUST consist of one or more characters, and SHOULD
//.         be the unique name of the type; and
//.
//.       - `<version>` MUST consist of one or more digits, and SHOULD
//.         represent the version of the type.
//.
//. If the type identifier does not conform to the format specified above,
//. it is assumed that the entire string represents the _name_ of the type;
//. _namespace_ will be `null` and _version_ will be `0`.
//.
//. If the _version_ is not given, it is assumed to be `0`.
//.
//. For example:
//.
//. ```javascript
//. //  Identity :: a -> Identity a
//. function Identity(x) {
//.   if (!(this instanceof Identity)) return new Identity(x);
//.   this.value = x;
//. }
//.
//. Identity['@@type'] = 'my-package/Identity';
//. ```
//.
//. Note that by using a constructor function the `constructor` property is set
//. implicitly for each value created. Constructor functions are convenient for
//. this reason, but are not required. This definition is also valid:
//.
//. ```javascript
//. //  IdentityTypeRep :: TypeRep Identity
//. var IdentityTypeRep = {
//.   '@@type': 'my-package/Identity'
//. };
//.
//. //  Identity :: a -> Identity a
//. function Identity(x) {
//.   return {constructor: IdentityTypeRep, value: x};
//. }
//. ```

(function(f) {

  'use strict';

  if (typeof module === 'object' && typeof module.exports === 'object') {
    module.exports = f();
  } else if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd != null) {
    define([], f);
  } else {
    self.sanctuaryTypeIdentifiers = f();
  }

}(function() {

  'use strict';

  //  $$type :: String
  var $$type = '@@type';

  //  pattern :: RegExp
  var pattern = new RegExp(
    '^'
  + '([\\s\\S]+)'   //  <namespace>
  + '/'             //  SOLIDUS (U+002F)
  + '([\\s\\S]+?)'  //  <name>
  + '(?:'           //  optional non-capturing group {
  +   '@'           //    COMMERCIAL AT (U+0040)
  +   '([0-9]+)'    //    <version>
  + ')?'            //  }
  + '$'
  );

  //. ### Usage
  //.
  //. ```javascript
  //. const type = require('sanctuary-type-identifiers');
  //. ```
  //.
  //. ```javascript
  //. > function Identity(x) {
  //. .   if (!(this instanceof Identity)) return new Identity(x);
  //. .   this.value = x;
  //. . }
  //. . Identity['@@type'] = 'my-package/Identity@1';
  //.
  //. > type.parse(type(Identity(0)))
  //. {namespace: 'my-package', name: 'Identity', version: 1}
  //. ```
  //.
  //. ### API
  //.
  //# type :: Any -> String
  //.
  //. Takes any value and returns a string which identifies its type. If the
  //. value conforms to the [specification][4], the custom type identifier is
  //. returned.
  //.
  //. ```javascript
  //. > type(null)
  //. 'Null'
  //.
  //. > type(true)
  //. 'Boolean'
  //.
  //. > type(Identity(0))
  //. 'my-package/Identity@1'
  //. ```
  function type(x) {
    return x != null &&
           x.constructor != null &&
           x.constructor.prototype !== x &&
           typeof x.constructor[$$type] === 'string' ?
      x.constructor[$$type] :
      Object.prototype.toString.call(x).slice('[object '.length, -']'.length);
  }

  //# type.parse :: String -> { namespace :: Nullable String, name :: String, version :: Number }
  //.
  //. Takes any string and parses it according to the [specification][4],
  //. returning an object with `namespace`, `name`, and `version` fields.
  //.
  //. ```javascript
  //. > type.parse('my-package/List@2')
  //. {namespace: 'my-package', name: 'List', version: 2}
  //.
  //. > type.parse('nonsense!')
  //. {namespace: null, name: 'nonsense!', version: 0}
  //.
  //. > type.parse(Identity['@@type'])
  //. {namespace: 'my-package', name: 'Identity', version: 1}
  //. ```
  type.parse = function parse(s) {
    var groups = pattern.exec(s);
    return {
      namespace: groups == null || groups[1] == null ? null : groups[1],
      name:      groups == null                      ? s    : groups[2],

Twilight Bowl by Rebecca Gilman
World Premiere at Goodman Theatre
By: Nancy Bishop - Feb 24, 2019
Four young women in a small-town Wisconsin bar, with a bowling alley beyond. It's a story of their lives, their sorrows, their limited futures. Bowling is a side activity for most of them, but for Sam (Becca Savoy), it's a college scholarship to a major university and an escape route to another life.
The play is Twilight Bowl by Rebecca Gilman, in a world premiere at Goodman Theatre, directed by Erica Weiss with an all-female cast and crew. Bowling is a backdrop throughout—the sport is a symbol of the working class life these young women dream of escaping or are complacent about.
The bar is like many you've seen if you've ever lived or spent summers in Wisconsin (and the whole atmosphere reminds me of Gateway Bowl at North and Narragansett avenues, where I basically grew up, since my parents were avid bowlers). Regina Garcia's scenic direction creates this atmosphere perfectly. The bar fronts a bowling alley but the bowling is all off-stage and occasional. What really happens in Twilight Bowl are the relationships among these young women over two years' time as they grow into adulthood with adult worries and responsibilities.
The play is a series of five scenes with different pairs or groups in each. Not much happens, but whatever happens happens as they sit at the bar or small tables. The play opens with a party for Jaycee (Heather Chrisler). There are gift bags and stories from her friends to send her off (including a very funny story about the poison ivy attack she suffered after a careless nature adventure). After a while you realize this is a happy-going-to-prison story; Jaycee will spend the next two years incarcerated for helping her dad sell bootleg pain meds.
Clarice (Hayley Burgess) cleans motel rooms and Sharlene (Anne E. Thompson) works at a retirement home. They all drink and smoke (except for Sharlene, a religious girl) and wonder if their lives will always be tied to this small town or another one nearby. A trip to Madison falls into the category of travel. Only Sam has the drive to move on to another world. Brielle (Mary Taylor) is a Twilight Bowl bartender who had a brief fling at college at UW-Platteville. Also in the mix is Maddy (Angela Morris), a college friend of Sam's; she's from Winnetka, which seems like another planet to the others.
The six actors have all created their characters with relish but their vocal ranges were limited and some of the dialogue was lost to those sitting in the rear of the theater. Weiss' direction could address this; she's known for her skill at bringing female voices to the stage. Original music and sound design are by Victoria Deioria with lighting design by Cat Wilson and costumes by Izumi Inaba.
Rebecca Gilman was born in Alabama but Chicago has been her home base in many ways. She's a professor of dramatic writing at Northwestern University and an artistic associate at Goodman Theatre. Her dialogue is realistic and her characters are drawn sympathetically; both are characteristics of her other plays. Her work includes Spinning Into Butter, The Glory of Living, Boy Gets Girl, Blue Surge, Luna Gale, A True History of the Johnstown Flood, and Soups, Stews and Casseroles.
Twilight Bowl continues at Goodman Theatre, 170 N. Dearborn, through March 10. Tickets are $10-$45. The play runs 90 minutes with no intermission.

Q: Is there a way to update the NavigationTitle of a NavigationView from a button in it's detail view? I have a NavigationView showing a title with the number of records in a List:
.navigationTitle("\(navBarTitle) (\(String(numberOfRecords)))")

In the toolbar I have 2 buttons:

*

*show Unread - only show unread / show all

*show Favorites - only show favorites / show all

The List view shows either All records, Unread records or Favorite records. Switching between Views using the buttons works fine and updates the navigation title numberOfRecords variable.
All is well sofar. Now...
Rows in the list have a NavigationLink that goes to a detail view:
NavigationLink(destination: detailView(record: record))

In the detail view I have a button: make card favorite. I click the button, but when returning to the list view, the numberOfRecords variable in the navigation title is not updated.
How can I update the navigation title from its detail view?
Thank you!

All posts tagged: "Hinchinbrook Island"
By Susan Knuth / 29th March, 2016 / Uncategorized / No Comments
The Hinchinbrook Marine Cove Resort in Lucinda, Queensland, has won an Australian Good Food and Travel Guide (AGFG) Readers' Choice 2016 for Townsville and Surrounds.
"We are delighted with the award, which recognises that the Hinchinbrook Marine Cove Resort is one of the best places to stay in our region," owner Linda McKeown said. "My husband, Mike, and I have worked hard over the last few years to ensure that our resort exceeds guest expectations in terms of price, quality and service."
The AGFG overview of the Hinchinbrook Marine Cove Resort, described the tropical getaway just north of Townsville as perched by Hinchinbrook Channel's pristine waters.
"Sweeping lawns and gently swaying palm trees lead to modern units and comfortable, self-contained bungalow cabins surrounded by lush gardens with views across a glistening ocean," the overview reads. "A nearby boat ramp provides access to otherwise secluded fishing spots or simply throw in a hand line off the motel's private jetty."
Linda said guests, including anglers, could enjoy a BBQ in the facilities area that overlooked the Channel and Hinchinbrook Island in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. Other attractions in the Ingham area included Australia's tallest waterfall, beautiful beaches, rainforest hikes and wildlife.
Mike said the resort was popular with local tourists from not only Townsville but also Cairns a couple of hours drive to the north. "We also cater to families, and larger groups, and we are an excellent location for weddings and other large functions," Mike said. "There is no more beautiful place in the world."
Linda and Mike thanked AGFG and its readers for honouring the resort.

Taiwan Semiconductor Says December Sales Double
World's largest contract chip maker said its December 2009 sales more than doubled to $1 billion, but sales for full year 2009 were still down 11.2 percent from 2008.
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) -- Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., the world's largest contract chip maker, said Friday its December 2009 sales more than doubled to New Taiwan dollars 30.47 billion ($1 billion).
The figure represented a 131 percent increase from the same month in 2008, the company said in a statement.
TSMC's sales for full year 2009 totaled NT$285.74 billion ($8.95 billion), down 11.2 percent from 2008, it said.
The company, whose chips are used in devices from mobile phones to computers, didn't comment on the sale increase. But its executives have said that a sharp rebound in demand from the second quarter of 2009 allowed the firm to gradually recover from a severe slump caused by the global financial crisis.
Separately, TSMC announced Friday it is working with San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., a leading developer of advanced wireless technologies, on the cutting-edge 28 nanometer process technology.
The advanced process enables more features to be integrated into smaller chips, allowing semiconductors that power mobile devices to do far more with less power, TSMC said in a statement posted on its Web site.
The two companies have collaborated previously on 65 and 45 nanometer technologies.
