French Foreign Policy
World Day against Trafficking in Persons (30 July 2020)
On the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, France underlines its strong commitment to combating this serious form of crime and human rights violation. Such trafficking, which is thought to generate up to $150 billion in annual revenue, also represents a global security issue, fuelling corruption, irregular migration and terrorism.
As such, France has made combating trafficking a full-fledged public policy. After adopting a first national action plan in 2014, France is now committed to implementing its second national human trafficking action plan for the period 2019-2021. With its 45 measures, this plan aims to strengthen action at European and international levels to combat this serious form of crime.
The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs contributes to this effort by promoting the use of legal instruments aimed at strengthening international cooperation, including the Palermo Convention signed 20 years ago. It also works hard to develop close cooperation with the regions most affected by the phenomenon, particularly in Africa within the assistance project for the fight against trafficking in persons in the Gulf of Guinea countries implemented by Expertise France and co-financed with the EU, and in South-East Europe in liaison with the EU, the UNODC and the OSCE. Through its contribution to action in these two regions of origin of many trafficking victims, France supports both capacity building for States to help them combat trafficking networks (legislative frameworks, role of national coordinators, regional cooperation) as well as essential action relating to prevention, identification and protection of victims, communication and outreach. France particularly supports victim defence associations, NGOs and civil society.
Keen to raise public awareness of the fate of victim of this crime worldwide, France also contributes to the Blue Heart Campaign led by the UNODC, encouraging both States and individuals to get involved and support the fight against human trafficking. Moreover, France is the fifth-largest contributor to the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. The Trust Fund supports assistance to and protection of victims on the ground, notably through grants to specialized associations. The French and Swedish foreign ministers have committed to strengthening cooperation between our two countries in order to fight human trafficking for sexual exploitation. This bilateral commitment includes active promotion worldwide of the abolitionist model for addressing prostitution.

Infrastruktura magazynowa – zespół obiektów i urządzeń umożliwiających prawidłowe magazynowanie produktów w ramach realizowanych procesów logistycznych. Zalicza się do niej budowle magazynowe i urządzenia magazynowe.
Budowla magazynowa jest konstrukcją inżynierską zaprojektowaną i wykonaną w sposób, który spełnia wymagane warunki sprawnego i bezpiecznego wykonywania czynności procesu magazynowania oraz zabezpiecza wymagane przez zapasy warunki przechowywania.

Podział budowli magazynowych określony został w normie PN-81/B-01012 Budowle magazynowe. Obejmuje podział, nazwy i określenia.
Budowle magazynowe dzielą się na trzy zasadnicze grupy budowli:
 otwarte (składowiska, place składowe), którymi są wydzielone na otwartej przestrzeni place o nawierzchni gruntowej lub twardej,
 półotwarte, którymi są wydzielone z otwartej przestrzeni za pomocą wybudowanych przegród (pionowych i/lub poziomych) obiekty posiadające minimum jeden nieosłonięty bok,
 zamknięte, którymi są obiekty budowlane całkowicie wydzielone z otwartej przestrzeni za pomocą wybudowanych pionowych i poziomych przegród.
Wśród otwartych budowli magazynowych rozróżnia się place składowe (składowiska) o nawierzchni:
 gruntowej, z gruntu rodzimego lub dowiezionego (ulepszonego mechanicznie lub chemicznie),
 twardej, charakteryzującej się grubością ponad 0,12 m i wytrzymałością na ściskanie co najmniej 100 MPa (mierzona dla nowej nawierzchni przy najgorszych warunkach zawilgocenia podłoża)
Wśród półotwartych budowli magazynowych rozróżnia się trzy rodzaje budowli:
 zasieki,
 wiaty,
 zbiorniki otwarte.
Jedną z ważniejszych grup budowli magazynowych stanowią budowle zamknięte. Ta grupa budowli magazynowych przeznaczona jest do składowania zapasów nieodpornych na narażenia klimatyczne. Wśród budowli zamkniętych rozróżnia się:
 zbiorniki zamknięte,
 zasobniki,
 silosy,
 budynki magazynowe.
Urządzenia magazynowe to urządzenia umożliwiające prawidłowe przechowanie surowców, materiałów i wyrobów gotowych w procesach magazynowania realizowanych w ramach procesów logistycznych. Do urządzeń magazynowych wykorzystywanych w procesach magazynowania zaliczyć należy: urządzenia do składowania, urządzenia klimatyzacyjno-wentylacyjne, urządzenia ochrony przeciwpożarowej, urządzenia zabezpieczenia.

Q: date and time (local time instead of UTC) (Maxima) These lines give the date and time in UTC:
t:timedate(absolute_real_time() - (10*3600));
t0:substring(t,1,20);
t1:concat(substring(t,12,17), " ", substring(t,9,11), "/", substring(t,6,8), "/", substring(t,1,5));
t2:concat(substring(t,1,5), substring(t,6,8), substring(t,9,11), substring(t,12,14), substring(t,15,17), substring(t,18,20));

I know that '?\*autoconf\-version\*;' can give the Maxima version number, so maybe there is some undocumented way to get the local time.
Otherwise are there any ready-made functions that can convert
UTC time to local time given conditions for start/end of daylight saving time
e.g. UTC time to UK time (which is GMT/BST depending on the time of year)?

A: It's not clear to me exactly what you need, but perhaps the following helps. By the way, do you really need to extract the parts (year, month, day, etc)? If so, it might be more convenient to work directly in Lisp. See DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME at the Common Lisp Hyperspec (a web search will find it).
The timedate now (in the just-released Maxima 5.39) accepts an optional argument which is the time zone offset, in hours (plus or minus). The time zone offset may be noninteger (e.g. 2.5). Offset 0 indicates UTC. If the offset is omitted, the time is formatted in the local time zone.
(%i5) t:absolute_real_time();
(%o5)                             3691202499
(%i6) timedate (t, 0);
(%o6)                      2016-12-20 06:01:39+00:00
(%i7) timedate (t);
(%o7)                      2016-12-19 22:01:39-08:00

Note that the daylight saving time flag is applied at the "time of the time". Here is a time from next summer, when daylight saving time is in effect.
(%i8) timedate (t + 6*30.25*24*3600);
(%o8)                      2017-06-19 11:01:39-07:00

The parse_timedate function has also been (in Maxima 5.39) updated to recognize time zone offsets.
(%i9) parse_timedate ("2016-12-19 22:01:39-08:00");
(%o9)                             3691202499

As with timedate if the offset is omitted, it is assumed to be in the local time zone.
(%i10) parse_timedate ("2016-12-19 22:01:39");
(%o10)                            3691202499

Note also that Maxima does not recognize any symbolic time zone indicators such as "UTC", "GMT", "EDT", "America/New_York", etc., only numerical time zone offsets.

A: To clarify the problem, before revealing the solution:
these are the steps that I take in Maxima v5.30
to get the time in UTC, in a readable format:
Note: When I use Maxima v5.30 (in the UK),
for some unknown reason, the time is always UTC adjusted
by 10 hours, and does not adjust for DST.
/* 1st Jan 2017 12 noon: */
timedate(3692260800); /* "2017-01-01 22:00:00+10:00" */
timedate(3692260800-10*3600); /* "2017-01-01 12:00:00+10:00" */
substring(timedate(3692260800-10*3600),1,20); /* "2017-01-01 12:00:00" */

Note: timedate works better/differently in later versions of Maxima,
but some institutions recommend installing a specific version of Maxima.
Sometimes I want the date in the form: 'yyyyMMddHHmmss'.
A function for this is:
SecUTCToDate(vSec,vHour):=
block([d1,d2],
d1:timedate(vSec+vHour*3600),
d2:concat(substring(d1,1,5), substring(d1,6,8), substring(d1,9,11), substring(d1,12,14), substring(d1,15,17), substring(d1,18,20)),
parse_string(d2)
);

Note: [d1,d2] keeps those variables local to within the block, and not global.
To get the local time I have to add on hours based on my time zone (0 in the UK), and DST.
To calculate whether a time is within the DST period requires an individual function per time zone: in the UK, and many European countries, one such function is:
/* correct for the years 1900-2200 inclusive */
SecUTCIsDSTUK(vSec):=
block([vLeap,vDaysMar25,vDaysOct25,vWDayMar25,vWDayOct25,vRange1,vRange2],
vYear : parse_string(substring(timedate(vSec),1,5)),
vLeap : floor((vYear-1900)/4), if (vYear>=2100) then vLeap : vLeap-1,
vDaysMar25 : (vYear-1900)*365 + vLeap + 83,
vDaysOct25 : vDaysMar25 + 214,
vWDayMar25 : mod(vDaysMar25+1,7),
vWDayOct25 : mod(vDaysOct25+1,7),
vRange1 : (vDaysMar25+mod(-vWDayMar25,7))*86400 + 3600,
vRange2 : (vDaysOct25+mod(-vWDayOct25,7))*86400 + 3600,
if ((vSec >= vRange1) and (vSec < vRange2)) then 1 else 0);

You can create a mac file with such a function, and call up the the function when needed, e.g.:
load("C:\\MyFolder\\MyFile.mac");
SecUTCIsDSTUK(absolute_real_time());
SecUTCIsDSTUK(absolute_real_time()+86400*180);

(I can see that the timedate and decode-universal-time functions
have key differences between Maxima versions)
thank you for the website mention,
CLHS: Section The Environment Dictionary
http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/c_enviro.htm
is there a list of LISP commands that work in Maxima?
the main reason for the datestamp concerns:
to produce datestamps for filenames such as 'z title yyyymmddhhmmss.txt',
or for friendly dates inside those files such as 'hh:mm dd/mm/yyyy',
the string manipulation method was the simplest method
that I could successfully code (I don't explicitly need to extract individual d m y etc)

For those with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, traveling can include additional health risks. These tips can help.
Research that travel provokes anxiety in most people. In fact, for some, the stress can even trigger a psychotic episode.
Mary Seeman, a psychiatrist in Toronto, told the story of one woman who became nauseated on a plane and came to believe that the pilot was deliberately making her ill so that he would have an excuse to be with her when the plane landed. "She was convinced that he had fallen instantaneously in love with her when he saw her board," Seeman wrote.
Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, recalled one business executive with bipolar disorder who landed in the hospital every time he flew from the United States to Europe.
Travel across time zones is especially risky for a person dealing with a mental illness. One theory is that people with mental illness may already have altered circadian rhythms, which makes adjusting to jet lag tougher.
So, when a person has a condition that carries a risk of experiencing a psychotic episode, is any travel ever worth it?
Avoiding travel altogether isn't always possible. If you need to travel, planning ahead can make a big difference.
For the business executive, the solution was to take a boat across the Atlantic instead of a plane, giving his body more time to adjust. "He did that and had no trouble," Duckworth said.
Psychiatrists offer a variety of tips to help minimize the risk of trigging a psychotic episode while traveling.
Even if you've never had psychosis, but know you're at risk, it's best to think ahead. Your first break with reality may come while traveling.
Seeman told Heathline the chances are higher if you have a family history of psychiatric illness and are in a vulnerable moment, such as after a breakup or the death of a loved one, or after losing a great deal of weight or experience other physical or emotional shocks.
In those circumstances, "people should try to avoid sleep loss, time shifts, alcohol, and maybe high altitudes as well," she said.
Symptoms of bipolar or schizophrenia usually show up by a person's early 20s. But they may arrive in one's 40s or later, especially in women who have other illnesses and stresses like a history of unemployment, some indicates.
Older adults can also have their first break while traveling when they are slipping into dementia.
Additionally, psychosis can be triggered by mefloquine (sometimes called Lariam), a medication used to prevent malaria. If you've had depression, generalized anxiety disorder, or a psychotic or seizure disorder, the World Health Organization (WHO) you to ask for a different medication.
How can you protect young adults?
If psychosis runs in the family, Margaret Cochran, a therapist from San Jose, California, advises talking to children about their risk when they are young. "Mental illness, among other things, needs to be 'normalized' as in its nothing to be ashamed of. You just recognize it, go to the appropriate physician and get treated," she said, noting that parents can include other medical issues like diabetes or high cholesterol in the same conversation.
But young people should also know that they may never develop symptoms. Most people with a relative or even a sibling or parent with schizophrenia will not develop the disorder. These were the findings of a done in 2014 by the Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia. The study, which had 16 co-authors and looked at nearly 300 families, concluded that the risk of schizophrenia was only 31 percent within a nuclear family.
Before a big trip or stay abroad, schedule a physical for your child and ask the doctor to discuss mental health issues during the exam.
Children with a risk of psychosis need to know that marijuana can trigger an episode. This information may also be best coming from your doctor. Cochran pointed out it's normal for children between the ages of 13 and 25 to pay more attention to "an authoritative outsider" than to their parents.
Traveling east or west is tougher than north or south because of time zone changes. If you're in Boston and have bipolar disorder, "and you have a chance to go to either Brazil or Italy, if it's all the same I'd consider Brazil," Duckworth said.
High-altitude trips also may be especially tough. Among mountain residents, high altitudes seem to be a risk factor for suicide, especially for people with bipolar disorder. But it's not yet clear how travelers are affected.
Certain destinations are associated with psychotic episodes. "Tahiti syndrome" can be triggered when you find crowds of tourists instead of a paradise. "Jerusalem syndrome" may be brought on by religious feeling. "Florence syndrome" may occur at the sight of fine art.
The reason for the trip can be another factor. Traveling for weddings and other big occasions could add another layer of stress for many people, Seeman noted.
But that doesn't mean no one should try. The Women's Clinic for Psychosis in Toronto has sponsored travel abroad for patients with schizophrenia so that they could reconnect with estranged children or visit other distant friends and relatives. To ensure safety, the staff takes a number of precautions, including making contact with medical caregivers at the destination.
All travelers with an active prescription should be sure to bring enough of their medications. In some countries, you need proof of a prescription to carry sleeping pills. Check the rules for your destination.
If you are in danger of a psychotic break, you need to carry a doctor's letter that explains your need for medications, , and perhaps copies of your prescriptions. Duckworth suggests also carrying a list of the places where you have been hospitalized, with dates, so staff at your destination can check your medical records if the need arises.
However, he doesn't suggest carrying around your "discharge" papers from hospitalizations.
It's also important to check your medical insurance to see if it would cover the cost of hospital treatment in a foreign country or an emergency trip home. Most don't.
Patients who need injections of antipsychotics like lithium or clozapine may need to arrange in advance for care at the destination site.
Don't drink or use recreational drugs to soothe your anxiety in the airport, on the plane, or after you land; they can aggravate dehydration, motion sickness, and temperature-related illness and trigger symptoms, Seeman noted.
To help manage jet lag after you arrive, you can take 2 to 5 milligrams of melatonin before bedtime for up to four days, Seeman noted.
Last suggests slowing down the entire trip. "Don't try to cram too many activities into one day. Take breaks. And try to keep a regular reasonable bedtime," she said.
Getting out into the world may sound like a good idea for tackling depression, but it isn't. In fact, it can make things worse.
Bipolar disorder can be difficult to diagnose, but there are warning signs you can look for. Here are 14 of them.
She was told for years that her constant fatigue was caused by her mental illness issues. Finally, she received a diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease.

Most organisations will have a formal Preferred Suppliers List (PSL) in place which will be run by the HR or Resourcing division. The benefit for contractors is the comfort and knowledge that the agencies they are speaking with about opportunities will understand the organisation, or business or department that the role sits within and the actual requirements. PSLs usually mean the agency adheres to a fixed margin agreement with the client and so when discussing rates these are what the client wants to pay to the contractor.
This prevents the situation where an agency will try and reduce the rate expectations of the contractor to increase their own margin so contractors can have a degree of comfort and trust with an agency with a PSL.
Another perk is that if your CV is submitted through an agency on the PSL, you can be confident it will be reviewed by the hiring manager, as very often CVs from agencies not on the PSL will not be accepted.
This is the most commonplace agreement and often they will impact the agency's ability to reduce their margin; the client will state what they want to pay the contractor in line with the rest of their contract consultant community (very similar to how companies want parity with their permanent employees) and the margin sits separately to this.
Agencies will have contractual terms with the client which they have to adhere to which will include the margin. Agencies are not obliged to discuss their client margin agreements with contractors (and sometimes will be contractually restricted). It is down to the contractor to ensure they are happy with the rate they are being paid at the outset of an engagement. Contractors should also consider the value they place on the agency's role, including that of introducing them to the opportunity and contractor care throughout the engagement. Often the highest priorities will include being paid correctly and in a timely fashion, having consistent points of contact (often the 'consultant' and a dedicated 'contractor care' team) for issue resolution and advice and agreement on extensions well before the initial end date of the assignment.
The size of cut an agency makes on an IT contract varies according to the client, the industry sector and the nature of the relationship between the agency and the end client, so there is no single answer. As recruitment as an industry has evolved, there has been a tightening up of margins that agencies charge. These margins will usually be reviewed on an annual basis with the client.
The most common scenario is where a client will quote to the agency the rate they want to pay the contractor excluding the margin; the margin will be added onto the pay rate once an engagement is confirmed and this makes up the charge rate. The answer to the Contractor's Question in February approximates the right boundaries, but generally the rate will be at the lower end of what was quoted, and sometimes the margin will also decrease over time with extensions.

Nearly 8,000 women who are in disadvantageous situations in the Mekong Delta have improved their living standard through group savings and improved personal financial management knowledge.
Launched in Vinh Long province in 2013, the Mekong Vitality Project (MV) which aims to improve knowledge and quality of life for Mekong Delta women through savings and loan schemes, has brought various positive results.
For the first time, these women were introduced to an innovative financial model (WORTH), helping them to gather together to save, lend and develop small businesses to generate income for themselves.
According to Kurt MacLeod, Vice President for Country Programs and Operations, PACT, "WORTH is a savings-led microfinance model that provides no seed money or capital, but rather, enables groups of women to make small savings deposits at weekly meetings, until funds grow large enough to allow members to begin taking loans, which they use to start or grow their small businesses. "
After more than a year of implementation by PACT and Coca-Cola international NGOs, the project attracted more than 3,500 women to join, grouped, practiced savings, received interest, loaned to members to start a business or expand business. The result is well recognized that about 1300 small businesses, shops and farms were established and developed, which is creating many stable jobs for women.
Following the initial success, the Coca-Cola project with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) launches the next phase, from July 2014 to the end of 2017, "Mekong Vitality Expanded Alliance" (MVE).
2016 is the milestone of the project with the sponsorship and co-operation of Experian Global Information Services (Ireland). The project "Mekong Vitality 2" (MV2) has been further promoted in three communes of Long Phu, Binh Ninh, My Loc, Vinh Long province, to train women in finance, applying technology in business, approaching more capital through group savings.
From June 2016 to May 2017, the project supported the improvement of financial education, principles and credit management training, helped 1,000 women (50 WORTH groups) significantly improve their lives.
Experian, along with PACT, has assisted with training materials development and curricular for financial education and filing skills for female individuals. Through the meetings from basic level to advance in three communes, women were introduced to the basic concepts of finance, how to manage finance effectively and practical application in loans, credit, set the savings goals.
Ben Elliott, Chief Executive Office, Experian Asia Pacific said that Experian has provided both financial and technical support to promote access and financial education for women in Vietnam through programs such as "Mekong Vitality 2" (MV2). Through an online management system, the MV2 project has created credit profiles for women in the project, connecting them with formal financial institutions so that they can access business loans, joint ventures or official credits, which they had not previously been able to do. These women were now able to sign up for postpaid telephone service or borrow money to start or expand their businesses, improving their finances for the whole family and the community.
After nearly 4 years of implementation, nearly 8,000 women in Vinh Long province have been able to raise their social and economic status through the project. More than 400 women participated in the "Mekong Vitality Expanded Alliance" project to be trained in business skills. 60% of them have started new businesses or expanded their current business model.
On average, women increased their income from VND 20,000 to nearly VND 200,000 per day. By the end of May 2017, the cummulative savings of WORTH group participating women reached VND 1,126,190,000 and a total of VND 3,488,400,000 worth of loans were issued through 1,741 loans.
These loans generate VND 125,865,000 contributing to the total fund of the project. Loans are mainly used to set up or develop small businesses that focus on areas such as animal husbandry, poultry and horticulture, food production, grocery and crafts.
Especially, the MV2 project funded by Experian, after the implementation period, has far exceeded the target, helping to train 1095 women with financial knowledge. In particular, 59 WORTH groups have emerged from poverty in Tam Binh district, Vinh Long province. Five women have been accepted by local financial institutions for a loan of VND 320 million to start a new business or expand existing businesses. So far, 103 women have received loans of nearly VND 2.6 billion from local financial institutions.
Not only creating a stable economy, projects such as MV2 also help the women to come together, support each other to develop business skills. Hopefully, with these results, Mekong Delta women will continue to replicate the group saving model and share financial management experience, leverage the strength of the market to seize business opportunities, develop their capacity and raise status in the community.

18 Jul Heating Up Cold War II
Posted at 07:09h in Foreign Policy, General, International Relations, Society by William Natbony 1 Comment
"Nationalism can build a bridge across the partisan divide." – The Lonely Realist
China has a plan, a well-thought-out plan, for absorbing Taiwan and, in doing so, taking a significant step towards empire-building and global hegemony … and exposing the weakness of America's democracy and military. Success would constitute a momentous achievement for the Chinese Communist Party and, crucially, for Chairman Xi Jinping. It would cement a prominent place for Xi in the history books. At 68 years of age, both his words and his deeds have made it clear that he will not wait much longer to attain his goals.
The conventional thinking about China has been that it "plays the long game," taking a patient approach to history, confident that the gravitational pull of 1.4 billion Chinese people and China's economic, diplomatic and military ascent will lead inevitably to achievement of its goals …, including dominance on the world stage. The now-discredited exemplar of China's patience was Hong Kong, where Deng Xiaoping in the early 1980s articulated a philosophy of gradual reunification by means of "one country, two systems," a policy that was incorporated into Hong Kong's constitution upon its reversion from the United Kingdom in 1997. The agreed-upon timeframe for reunification was 50 years … to occur in 2046. XI China, however, opportunistically accelerated that timetable … by a full generation … to 2020. So much for "patient inevitability." Chairman Xi is not a patient man, a fact that America ignores at its peril. He has a legacy to cement … and a limited time in which to do so.
China has had a similar policy of "peaceful unification" with Taiwan that once contemplated an even longer timeframe intended to span multiple generations through enhanced economic, cultural and social ties. More than two generations have passed without significant progress. Further waiting no longer forms a part of Chairman Xi's plans. He has determined to accelerate the timetable in the face of escalating Taiwanese resistance triggered by China's forceable takeover of Hong Kong, its aggressive actions against its Asian neighbors and its claims of sovereignty over territory within a claimed "nine-dash line." Xi abandoned the Party's fig leaf approach of "patient inevitability" several years ago when China began applying heat to the island province nation – after all, it sits only 100 miles off China's coast … and 7,500 miles from the U.S. The Taiwanese "frog" that thrived in the cool Western Pacific waters because of America's military protection and flourished because of its combination of democratic government, capitalist industry and Chinese forbearance – based on China's real-world vulnerabilities – now is in hot rapidly warming water – based on China's real-world advances. Chairman Xi has staked his legitimacy on the imminent absorption of Taiwan. In 2017 he proclaimed that "complete national reunification is an inevitable requirement for … the Chinese nation" …, then two years later raised the temperature by saying that "cross-strait instability … cannot go on generation to generation" …, and then earlier this month he added that "Solving the Taiwan question and realizing the complete reunification of the Motherland are the unswerving historical tasks of the Chinese Communist Party…. All sons and daughters of China … must move forward … to resolute smashing any 'Taiwan independence' plots." Chairman Xi's language reflects the martial drumbeat of the "wolf warrior" in Made-in-China movies where the Chinese military crushes American forces. As Xi has said, those who oppose the inevitability of China's "new model for human advancement" – explicitly America – will "have their heads bashed bloody." Those indeed are warrior words, words that leaders have used since the beginning of time to prepare their countries for war. Chinese officials have been echoing Xi's nationalist-militarist theme with increasing ferocity, emphasizing that "no options are excluded" in reunifying Taiwan with the Motherland. The Communist Party Line increasingly contrasts China's efficient autocracy with America's decaying democratic institutions. America is described as weak and in disarray, a hellhole of Covid-19 deaths, racist policing, gun violence and partisan paralysis …, the perfect foil for the rising Chinese superpower.
Those who have listened to Xi's words and monitored his actions acknowledge a well-executed plan (first discussed by TLR here) pursuant to which China has pursued an aggressive military modernization program with the unambiguous goal of strategically overwhelming American forces in the Western Pacific (most recently discussed by TLR here). To his credit, Xi has successfully marshalled China's resources, technology, and national will to undertake the most ambitious restructuring of China's military since its founding. The People's Liberation Army now seamlessly coordinates with China's air force and strategic rocket force. Xi has realized his goal of effecting a restructuring that would enable the PLA to win "near-abroad" wars by 2020 – that is, the area within its territorial "nine-dash" line in the Western Pacific (discussed by TLR here and here). China has the largest army and navy in the world, the most sophisticated arsenal of conventional ballistic and cruise missiles with the greatest ranges, and the world's largest force of advanced long-range and surface-to-air defensive missile systems. It indeed has developed the military strength and technologically-advanced weaponry necessary to repel any challenge to its hegemony in its "near abroad." Admiral Philip Davidson, who heads America's Indo-Pacific command, recently confirmed that the military balance in the Western Pacific has "become [even] more unfavorable."
As a result, Xi has been turning up the heat on both Taiwanese and American defenses in the Western Pacific (as well in other "nine-dash" Pacific areas, including The Philippines, another American ally). China has increased military operations in Taiwanese air- and sea-space, conducting 380 intentional incursions into Taiwan's air-defense identification zone in 2020 and increasing in 2021 the frequency and number of aircraft-per-incursion as well as naval exercises in and around Taiwanese waters. China is testing reactions and reaction times … for a reason. China also has been escalating its rhetoric, issuing stern warnings abroad and fanning nationalist flames at home regarding potential military action against Taiwan. These are dangerous steps …, ones with great significance – China is talking the talk and risks being taken as a "paper tiger" unless it walks the walk. The flame of Chinese public anger has been lit and the Communist Party understands that domestic unrest will follow without consequent action. A survey by China's Global Times reported that using military force to accomplish reunification is now supported by 70% of the Chinese public. Xi's patience is running thin … and public opinion is swelling for action.
Taiwan has rejected reunification, its resolve having hardened after China's takeover of Hong Kong. It therefore will not accept reunification without a fight …, a fight Taiwan cannot win …, perhaps likely even with active American support. America, however, is not ready for such a war (as a recent Congressionally-requested report on U.S. naval preparedness indicates), not during its own internal civil war … and not against a fully-prepared and technologically-advanced China. These are realities that Chairman Xi understands. But the consequences for America very much are not realities understood by Americans.
America is war-weary. Its three most recent Presidents – Obama, Trump and Biden – have made military withdrawal from the global stage an American priority. America, they have shown, no longer will expend American lives to maintain democracy or stand by its allies …, in stark contrast to the policies of prior Presidents. America permitted the use of chemical weapons in Syria when President Obama in 2014 drew a red line in the sand "in disappearing ink" (discussed by TLR here). President Trump in 2017 abandoned America's Kurdish allies without batting an eye while simultaneously pursuing isolationist, anti-alliance, and anti-Trans-Pacific Partnership policies (discussed by TLR here). And Presidents Trump and Biden have withdrawn American troops from Afghanistan, ceding it (and America's Afghani allies) to Islamist extremists in an admission of America's defeat. As The Economist has editorialized: "To the extent that outsiders see [America's withdrawal from Afghanistan] as a sign of American weakness, that weakness has been evident for a long time." Why should China believe that America's approach to Taiwan would be any different?
America therefore needs to address the reality that China is militarily poised to absorb Taiwan …, and what the consequences would be. China no doubt is waiting for a propitious moment opportunity to make a lightening strike that would negate any responsible American countermeasures. It has witnessed America's turmoil after the 2020 Presidential election (which it used as cover for its takeover of Hong Kong). It has seen America's former President taking actions to overturn that election, further shattering America's cohesion. Would President Biden risk going to war with China if doing so would mean defeat for his Party in the 2022 midterms? China is watching … and waiting.
A significant part of TLR's mission is to explain the necessity for bridging the partisan divide … and to find ways of doing so. Coming together to address the very real, imminent Chinese military threat to Taiwan – and to American hegemony and economic well-being – is a national survival imperative. It requires bipartisanship …, and time is running out.

Haute Parfumier Anastasia Sokolow Wants to Help You Find Your Perfect Scent
Sokolow, a member of the French Society of Perfumers, shares her inspiration, tips and wisdom.
By Heather Dunhill February 14, 2017
From a chic apartment in Paris, Anastasia Sokolow, Sulékó designer and member of the French Society of Perfumers, will take you on a 57-minute guided tour of the olfactory in her online Sulékó Scent Masterclass.
A guided meditation of sorts, the class expands on the emotional influence of the scent essences of the four seasons. Anastasia's soothing, elegant voice gently instructs students to "imagine yourself a garden…slowly comes the smell of a rose…" Or, she says, "it's winter, nature is asleep, the earth is covered with snow…everything is peaceful and calm."
Image: Courtesy Sulékó
You'll discover that an hour is not nearly enough. When the class ended, I was sad to see Anastasia go. A storyteller at heart, Anastasia takes you on a romantic journey of the senses in which she envelopes students in the art and poetry of each season, describing the atmosphere of life in winter, spring, summer and fall through the language of scent essences--warm suede, the fullest blossom of a lilac, freshly cut hay, the spiky scent of a clover, the roots of a tree, fields burned by the sun and a lilac in full bloom.
I caught up with Anastasia from her Paris salon, where she shared insights on everything from a history of Russian haute perfume to how to properly apply your scent. You're certain to adore her in no time.
Let's begin with the name Sulékó. What is the meaning of this divine-sounding word?
The name "Sulékó" comes from a Russian song that I learned when I was a child: "Suliko." This song speaks of a young man who has lost his soulmate; he desperately looks for her and eventually finds her, thanks to the scent of a rose. Sulékó wants to be the key that enables you to find your own fragrance, the scent that reflects who you are and echoes your soul.
Give us a brief history of the Russian Haute Parfumerie.
The Russian Haute Parfumerie was at its height at the beginning of the 20th century, right before the Revolution. It was recognized worldwide for the quality of its compositions and the beauty of its bottles. There were 30 major perfume houses, the most famous of which were Brocard, Rallet, Ostrooumoff, Ferein and Tchepelevetsky. They rivaled the most prestigious French names: Guerlain, Houbigant, Piver.
Russian perfumers won numerous awards at international exhibitions for their creations. They used the finest essences, most of which came from Grasse, in the south of France. Their fragrances were inspired by Slavic art, literature and folklore, and they were offered in beautiful bottles created by artists such as Fabergé or Malevitch.
Talk to us about the seasons of scents.
We can easily connect specific smells, notes and scent ingredients to each season. Spring brings into your mind the watery freshness of lily of the valley and hyacinths--luminous and light scents. If I mention fall, you will most likely think of the scent of dead leaves and the dark, earthy, woody scents of a forest after the rain. This is a very intuitive way of describing scents and perfumes. One might not know what a "chypre" perfume is, but everyone knows what fall smells like.

How have poets influenced fragrance?
If you enjoy reading poetry, you probably noticed that poets from all over the world use seasons as metaphors to describe emotions. Fall, for instance, is used to describe a state of spleen, when sadness and melancholy prevail, whereas spring is synonymous for new beginnings; a celebration of life and everything luminous and joyful. Therefore, we can say that each season is an encounter between scents and emotions, and poets help us understand the emotional meaning of scents within each season.
With our online master class, you will uncover the emotional facets of each season by listening to poetry. This is how you progressively intake our language of scents and find the perfume that truly matches your state of mind.
From left to right: Albho, Vy Roza, Djélem and Baba Yaga.
Please define the four Sulékó perfume universes, the meaningful names and how they inspired you to capture each fragrance.
Albho is part of Sulékó Winter. The name is the Indo-European root of the Russian word lebed, which means "the swan." With this perfume, mint, eucalyptus, pine and cedarwood project the cold immensity where the swan lives secluded. But slowly, warm notes of resins break through: tolu balsam, labdanum and benzoin represent a being freeing itself and finding peace and harmony.
Vy Roza is part of Sulékó Spring. The name comes from Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Oneguin. Triquet, the French ballet master, sings to Tatiana, "Vy roza belle Tatiana" ("You are a rose beautiful, Tatiana"). This perfume captures the moment when Tatiana falls deeply in love with Oneguin. It was created around the precious rosa damascena; the rose is fresh, luminous and fruity, surrounded by lily of the valley, hyacinths and lilac. Progressively, the perfume becomes soft and enveloping like the love which enlightens and awakens Tatiana.
Djélem is part of Sulékó Summer. The name comes from the anthem of the gyspies, who wear carnations in their hair as their bodies undulate and exhale a sensual smell of amber, then warm and sweet vanilla. Progressively a darker note of immortelle appears, which translates the mysterious side of the gypsies.
Baba Yaga is part of Sulékó Fall and refers to the witch of the Russian fairy tales. To Sulékó, she is this dark force, which embodies all our fears, everything that holds us back and consumes us--a force that we need to fight in order to live. A gust of spice pinches your nose, with dark notes of leather, patchouli and cade wood, plus iris.
Each perfume has its own porcelain sculpture bottle, which reflects the story of the perfume in a visual and tactile way.
What is the difference between eau de toilette and eau de parfum?
Once the formula of a perfume has been finalized, we produce the concentrate, which is the mix of ingredients weighted according to the formula. After a resting period called maturation, the concentrate is mixed with alcohol. Each perfume has its own proportion of alcohol depending on how powerful we want the perfume to be. The eau de toilette version of a perfume will always contain less concentrate than its eau de parfum version, which means that it will feel lighter, fresher but will last less time. In the eau de toilette version of Baba Yaga, for example, the vivifying notes of the citruses, which define the lightness of the fragrance, prevail over the woody and leathery facets.
And lastly, what is the proper way to apply a scent?
Each fragrance shall evolve in a different manner depending on your skin; this is why I suggest that you spray it on your bare skin to make it personal.
Always hold the bottle about 8 inches away from you when you spray; the angle of the spray is quite wide so this will allow you to perfume a larger part of your body with just one spray.
Apply on the chest--the warmest part of your body--and the forearm; not the wrist, where it would tone down as you wash your hands. Also apply to the hair, especially if you have long hair, so that you have the feeling that your perfume moves with you. Remember, it is when you move that your perfume diffuses the most. Do not rub your arms together. It will speed forward the opening of the perfume. The scent should open up progressively throughout the day so that you may uncover its many facets.
For a stronger "sillage" [the scented cloud that surrounds you], you may perfume your clothes or a shawl, as well.

Men's Health is a stand-up kind of place. Stroll through our offices and you'll see at least half of the editors standing at their desks, with their computers and monitors propped up on stacks of books, wooden crates, or other cobbled-together detritus. We're intense advocates of the idea, having frequently published reports about the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle—including one recent study that found that staying sedentary for half the day boosts your risk of dying within three years by 40 percent.
That's pretty awful. Personally, I was inspired to bounce up out of my chair after I finished reporting a story about colon cancer in my family last year. I found that people who spent a decade or more doing sedentary work were almost twice as likely to develop distal colon cancer, which affects the lower colon, than those with physically active jobs, according to a 2011 study in the American Journal of Epidemiology. But it wasn't merely a fear of death that made me want to stand up—it was my increasingly frequent chair-fatigue. By mid-day, I regularly found myself restless and squirmy, as though I'd been driving for six hours. Which, if you think about, is exactly what sitting at a desk all day approximates.
I vowed to start pursuing the stand-up desk route. I dabbled with a few kludged arrangements mimicking those of my colleagues, but never felt they looked all that great or were easy enough to transition between standing and sitting. Besides, I knew that there were other, better options than stacks of junk on my desk. Several more of my coworkers were similarly entranced by the idea of functional, dedicated, and readily adjustable stand-up desks, so we ordered up two models from Ergotron, the go-to guys for the anti-chair crowd. We wanted to test out their ease-of-installation and usability, but also determine whether it's worth it to progress from a free-or-cheap homebrew affair to something a bit pricier. Of course, we also wanted to see what we thought about joining the on-my-feet-all-day scene in general—i.e., would we stick with it?
We've been trying out Ergotron's WorkFit-A and WorkFit-S (ergotron.com). The WorkFit-A is a cantilevered, space-agey machine with a sturdy, articulating arm that lets you sling your keyboard and monitor around like a desk lamp. WorkFit-S is a more robotic, linear device that smoothly slides your array up and down using an internal system of cables and pulleys. Both retail for between $379 and $500—prices vary depending on what options you add, including additional work surfaces, dual-monitor capability, or laptop trays. The A-model clamps to the rear of your desk, while the S-Model grabs onto the front.
And grab they do. Both units attached easily to our desks, using robustly engineered clamp systems. You'll want to make sure your desk can handle the weight of the machines, and that the surface you attach it to is strong enough to accommodate the up and down movement, and in the case of the S-model, all the side-to-side action, as well. The desks assembled easily and were actually kind of fun to put together. The instructions are crystal-clear, and the devices were obviously designed with assembly and adjustment clearly in mind—all the hex bolts are accessible, and the machining is first-rate.
Once the desks were in place and our workspaces reconfigured slightly to accommodate them, we, well, stood up … and worked—and the impact was profound. First, a warning: standing at your desk initially takes stamina, and I at first relished my sitting hours more than my standing minutes. (Experts strenuously recommend easing into this with just a few hours a day. See our sidebar on the next page for more details on how, exactly, to stand at your desk.) But the dedicated desk-stander quickly adapts, and eventually the reverse becomes true. For the few hours a day that you are sitting, you start to crave your standing time. You also find that there are some activities that you can do standing easily and some that you can't. If I'm doing task-oriented work that doesn't require deep concentration, I can stand all day. When I'm deep into a writing or editing task, I'll need to sit most of the time. But phone calls felt significantly better when I was on my feet, which makes sense. Studies show that when you take a phone call while standing, you feel more authoritative. I've found the same is true when I'm also sending emails, working on projects, or interacting with colleagues. I simply perceive myself differently while standing.
Using both desks became so fluid that they quickly became essentially invisible—which is a desirable trait. You can easily fine-tune the movement tension to adjust to your work style and help achieve perfect balance, and you can spin the monitors from horizontal to vertical with the flick of the wrist, should you desire. All the keyboard and monitor angles are also easily adjustable. In short, the stations become dynamic extensions of your own body, rather than frozen monoliths we must constantly wriggle and writhe to conform ourselves to. Face it: we're not meant to sit all day and stare at a thing. We need environments that conform to us without complaint, and no matter whether or current urge is to stand and command or sit and focus.
Once I "crossed over" into the standing world, everything changed. Not only did I feel the benefit of the extra calories burned while standing—my day felt more like a modest workout than 8 hours of loafing in front of a computer—and I felt somehow more engaged in my work by virtue of my more varied interactions with my machinery.
Indeed, nobody who participated in this experiment has abandoned it—and none of those who've been standing around here for years already show any signs of sitting down. Yes, the desks are pricey, and your company may or may not be willing to just cough one up for you—many, in fact, require doctor's notes before they will. Ironic, isn't it? You need a note from your doc to score a life-altering, life-saving stand-up desk, but companies will run out to Office Depot and buy you a $300 "ergonomic" office chair without batting an eyelash. Our advice to you: don't take that sitting down!
Studies show that standing burns 40 percent more calories than sitting, and that just 2.5 hours on your feet per day burns 350 calories—that's 20 pounds per working year. But there are risks: Prolonged standing can lead to the development of musculoskeletal disorders, especially in the legs, knees and lower back. While you can stand for as long as it feels comfortable, most experts recommend a 50:50 sit-stand ration. Use our six tips below to learn how to achieve a perfect balance.
Counter the strain of concrete-covered carpet and improve lower-leg circulation by investing in an anti-fatigue mat. By putting you slightly off balance, the thick rubber surface and air pockets promote return of blood flow from your lower extremities so that your shins and calf muscles contract, squeezing blood up through a series of one-way valves that return it back to the core to get re-oxygenated and delivered back down to the lower extremities, according to Kent Hatcher, M.S., C.P.E., an ergonomics consultant with Humantech. It's when people don't have that return of blood that their fatigue and discomfort increases. Not sold on the investment? Repurpose a left over exercise mat by cutting 2x2 squares to stand on.
If you don't have comfortable shoes, standing for a long period of time will be counterproductive. "When you stand up, it's harder for the blood to get back to the heart, it's harder for it to get to the head and if you're standing on something that is really hard and cold and you've got poor shoes on, you're going to have a lot of lower-leg problems," says Alan Hedge, Ph.D., CPE, director of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Laboratory at Cornell University. Are you favorite loafers running low on sole? Invest in a pair of Dr. Scholl's gel inserts to help distribute your weight more effectively.
There's a reason your favorite pub has a long pole affixed to the bottom of the bar: People stay longer! Intermittently rotating your hips locks out knee ligaments and puts all your body weight on one leg, which is used as a cane to prop you up. The foot rail allows you to maintain a neutral curvature of the spine while resting one leg in front of the other and bending slightly at the knee, says Hatcher. For a more immediate option, decrease the risk of back and leg fatigue by resting one foot on a 6-inch stack of phone books or an overturned plastic tote.
Give yourself some additional support and lessen fatigue by padding the edge of your standing desk. The foam edging helps reduce fatigue by supporting people's natural tendencies. "If you take a look at people in lines, you'll notice they quickly start looking for something to lean against," Hedge notes. Standing for a whole day without breaks runs the risk of injury. Invest in a comfortable office chair, stool or perch to take the occasional load off.
Continuous movement is key to standing-desk success. Ideally, you should never stand for bouts of more than 90 minutes at a time, especially when starting out. Give yourself mental cues to make your sitting, standing ratio more fluid, Hatcher suggests. Try instilling guidelines like standing up for phone calls and answering emails seated so that there's no need to log your hours and your routine becomes automatic. Take walking breaks throughout the day to help promote circulation.

Brooklyn Rapper Radamiz Releases Video For New Single "V.I.M."
byAllHipHop Staff
May 31, 2018 -edited
Check out the new video from rising Brooklyn rapper Radamiz.
Brooklyn native and newly signed Payday Records rapper, Radamiz releases his visuals for his latest single, "V.I.M."
Through the direction of Zachariah Smith, the music video pays homage to Radamiz's upbringing in Bed-Stuy.
The visual finds Rad and crew hanging out in different spots of New York City, following them under subway tracks, to a rooftop overlooking the city and on the steps of a Harlem park.
"When you're in these neighborhoods, V.I.M. is one of those stores that everybody knows growing up," Radamiz says. "I feel like we use it (V.I.M) as a metaphor for our surroundings."
Raised by Dominican-immigrant parents in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn's Sumner Projects complex, 25-year-old MC Radamiz's story is unlike a story told before.
Being influenced to start rapping at the age of 12 outside of his first job packing groceries outside of a local supermarket, Jadakiss, Notorious B.I.G., Jay Z, Eminem helped shape the young MC's idea of what a great lyricist was supposed to sound like.
One of Radamiz's biggest highlights was being declared as Hot 97's East Coast "Who's Next" artist for 2013.
Performance wise, Radamiz has opened for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Rakim, A$AP Ferg, Talib Kweli, Action Bronson, Pro Era, Tunji Ige, Chuck Inglish, Smoke DZA, Vic Mensa, Smif-N-Wessun, Nitty Scott MC, and much more.

Federal Emergency Management Agency chief Brock Long is calling the damage left by Hurricane Michael some of the worst he's ever seen.
Long toured several towns in Florida's Panhandle on Sunday with Gov. Rick Scott. Long said afterward the storm damage will require officials to help meet housing needs of displaced residents for the next several months.
Long previously said that he has expected the death toll to rise due to the deadly storm. But both he and Scott sidestepped questions on whether they anticipate more deaths to be announced in the days ahead.
Long also added that FEMA employees were going to start going through shelters and in damaged neighborhoods to start registering people for federal assistance that is available to residents after a disaster.
Georgia emergency officials say approximately 120,000 customers in the state remain without power after Hurricane Michael.
An emailed statement Sunday afternoon from the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency said that included customers of Georgia Power, the cooperatvies of the Georgia Electric Membership Corporation and various municipalities.
Georgia EMC was reporting more than 66,700 outages as of 4 p.m. Sunday; Georgia Power, more than 22,600.
The North Carolina city of Greensboro says flooding from Tropical Storm Michael caused more than 1 million gallons of untreated wastewater to overflow from its facilities.
The city announced the spills Saturday evening. It says the largest discharge was 800,000 gallons that flowed over a 16-hour period into a creek.
According to the News & Record, the city says the downstream areas were inspected and cleaned up where necessary.
Flooding during Hurricane Florence last month also caused sewage overflows in Greensboro.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson says that Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida's Panhandle was destroyed, but he's promising the base will be rebuilt.
Nelson on Sunday visited the military base just days after Hurricane Michael tore across the region. The Florida Democrat said that older buildings on the base were demolished, while newer structures are in need of substantial repair. He also said that some of the hangars were damaged severely.
After Hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992 an air force base in Homestead was closed due to substantial damage. But Nelson, who sits on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said that fears that Tyndall will close are in his opinion "unfounded." He said that Tyndall is in a strategic location for its training missions.
The base was home to some of the nation's most advanced fighter jets but Nelson said he could not comment on how many planes were on the base during the storm or how many were damaged.
Thousands of people are likely to be without power in Florida's Panhandle for at least another week.
Gulf Power officials announced Sunday that they expect to have power restored to 95 percent of those hit by Hurricane Michael by Oct. 24 – or two weeks after the storm hit, leaving a trail of ruins across the region. Gulf Power is the main utility serving most of the area devastated by the deadly storm.
Some areas —such as Panama City Beach— will get power restored in the next two days. But the electric utility said it will take longer for downtown Panama City and other towns closer to where Michael roared onshore.
Gulf Power head Stan Connally called Michael an "unprecedented storm." The utility has brought in thousands of utility workers from around the country to help with the restoration effort.
Currently, there are nearly 192,000 customers in Florida without electricity.
The White House says President Donald Trump plans to visit Florida and Georgia on Monday to survey damage caused by Hurricane Michael.
Trump will be accompanied by first lady Melania Trump. The White House isn't identifying areas the president will visit.
Michael barreled into the Florida Panhandle last week as a Category 4 hurricane with 155 mph winds that practically flattened the town of Mexico Beach. The storm then raced through Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia, killing at least 17 people so far.
Trump toured parts of the Carolinas last month after Hurricane Florence.
Florida officials have evacuated almost 3,000 inmates after two prisons were damaged during Hurricane Michael.
The Department of Corrections said Saturday that the inmates were evacuated from the Gulf Correctional Institution and Annex and a portion of Calhoun Correctional Institution.
The facilities sustained significant roof damage, as well as damage to infrastructure critical for security.
Three prisons – the Gulf institution and annex, the Gulf Forestry Camp, and Panama City Work Release Center are closed until further damage assessments are made.
No inmates or staff members were injured. The agency says inmate locations will be updated on its website within 24 hours.
So far, one body has been found in Mexico Beach, but authorities say there is little doubt the death toll will rise. The tally of lives lost across the South stood at 15.
Crews with dogs went door-to-door Saturday in Mexico Beach, pushing aside debris to get inside badly damaged structures in a second wave of searches following what they described as an initial, "hasty" search of the area.

Bargain hunting? Five Canadian Techs that were Hammered Monday
The TSX's four per cent, 491 point loss Monday was actually better than many exchanges worldwide.
Global markets took a pounding on Monday as concerns about Standard and Poors downgrade of the United States debt outweighed optimism over the European Central Bank's buying Spanish and Italian bonds.
In Canada, the nature of the weighting of listings meant that mining and metals took the brunt of the TSX's 491 point dive. But those looking for bargains in tech might take note of the list below, comprised of TSX and TSX Venture techs that took it on the chin Monday.
1. China Wind Power (TSXV:CNW) August 8th Close: $.61 -24%
Late in July, Toronto's China Wind Power announced it had sold 81 million kilowatt hours of electricity in fiscal 2011, and reported revenue of $6.5 million, which was nearly double fiscal 2010's top line. The company, however is still losing money. Today's beatdown is a bit misleading, as just 13,400 shares of the thinly traded cleantech changed hands, and the bid price was several points higher than the close.
2. Mad Catz (TSX:MCZ) August 8th Close: $.56 -23.3%
Bad time to announce a disappointing quarter. On Thursday, Mad Catz, which designs and markets accessories for video game systems, announced that net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, were $16.5-million, which was a 17.3% decrease from net sales of $19.9-million in the same quarter last year. The longer picture, however, shows a company in a serious upswing; Mad Catz has more than doubled its revenue since 2008; from $87.7 million to a shade under $184 million.

3. BioExx (TSX:BXI) August 8th Close: $.60 -20%
Bioexx, which has developed a patented system for extracting protein from plants, had had trouble getting flagship facility in Saskatoon, which will produce canola protein isolates, on track. Shares of the Toronto company have fallen from a high of $2.66 on January 7th to today's low. Today, The company announced that Chris Carl has resigned as chairman and chief executive officer
4. SelectCore (TSXV:SCG) August 8th Close: $.165 -19.5%
SelectCore has made real strides in the booming prepaid financial and prepaid wireless space. The company has grown from just $47.7 million in revenue in fiscal 2007 to $103.2 million in fiscal 2010. While shares of the company were on fire in May, tripling in a week, things have cooled considerably. The company's market cap of $18.9 million is now less than a fifth of its topline.
5. WiLAN (TSX:WIN) August 8th Close: $5.66 -19%
Ottawa's WiLAN might have been the victim of a little profit taking today, the company has been one of the biggest Canadian tech successes in recent memory. After trading as low as $1.19 in late October, 2008, WiLAN's stunning run to nearly $8 means the company is now the most valuable technology concern in Ottawa. WiLan now has nearly a thousand patents, and has already licensed their technologies to blue chip techs such as Cisco, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung. In doing so, the company's revenue has climbed from just over $2 million in fiscal 2006 to over $50 million in 2010.

Warning Label
Psychoactive Substances
We are interested in neuroscience research, psychoeducation and counseling, through the cooperation of scientists of the fields of psychology, psychiatry,neurology, biology, psychopharmacology, genetics, art, law and advanced technology.
We know that both legal and illegal psychoactive drugs demand caution, since they affect brain function, producing alterations in sensation, perception, mood,consciousness, cognition, and behavior.
We believe that product labelling is the main component of a comprehensive public health strategy, that aims to reduce, both legal and illegal, psychoactive substances-related harm.
We create studies, campaigns, seminars, webinars and conferences, supporting the idea of product labelling for all, legal or illegal, psychoactive substances.
We propose labelling as a unique opportunity for governments to disseminate health promotion messages at the points of sale and consumption.
We demand a unique warning sign on every product, indicating the presence of any psychoactive substance, as well as the name of this substance.

I don't have a paper crafting project to share with you today, but I wanted to share this really easy scrapping tool organizer that I made last week. I am keeping some ink pads, twine spools, stamps, metal embellishments, and some adhesive stored in it. I have it on my desk within easy reach and it looks so fab!!
I found the pieces at a second hand store (a total of $5) and bought the paint and adhesive at Michaels (with lots left over for other projects). I washed the glass candlestick and lightly sanded the metal pieces (to help the paint adhere) and then painted the metal pieces with spray paint....make sure you use the spray paint in a well ventilated area.....I did mine outside.
Love it, I made one similar to this for my thread. I never thought to visit the second hand store. Yours is so elegant!! Thank you for the tip, it's just lovely!
Great idea! Thanks for the tutorial. I have a plate stand and some old plates on my worktable and it's so handy. I may have to make a few more holders with your technique!

FDA: Tobacco Companies Must Report Levels of Dangerous Chemicals In Products
Home » News » FDA: Tobacco Companies Must Report Levels of Dangerous Chemicals In Products
April 3rd, 2012 // 12:14 pm @ jmpickett
Tobacco companies will be required to report the levels of dangerous chemicals found in cigarettes, chew and other related products, marking the first time the industry will be required by law to specify the quantities of dangerous chemicals found in tobacco.The requirement stems from new preliminary guidelines released last Friday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Tobacco companies will be required to specify the quantities of dangerous chemicals in tobacco products and smoke for the first time this year.

Groupon Settles Lawsuit As Share Price Tumbles
The agency released two draft guidance documents that implement provisions of the 2009 Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which gave the FDA the power to regulate the tobacco industry. A signature element of the law called for the inclusion of graphic warning labels on cigarette packaging and their advertisements, a requirement the tobacco industry challenged in court, arguing it violated the free speech rights of tobacco companies.
Under the new FDA guidelines, the tobacco industry will be required to report the exact quantities of potentially harmful chemicals in tobacco products. The guidelines also provide guidance to companies that seek to market a tobacco product as one which reduces the risk of tobacco-related diseases.
"We are forging new territory to ensure that tobacco companies provide accurate information and do not mislead American consumers," said FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg in a statement. "We are committed to stopping such practices that may cause people to start or continue using tobacco products that could lead to preventable disease and death."
While there are more than 7,000 chemicals in tobacco and its smoke, the FDA has established a list of 93 harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) that tobacco companies will be required to report for every regulated tobacco product sold in the U.S. The draft guidance released by the FDA identifies 20 HPHCs on which the agency will focus enforcement efforts during 2012.
Ammonia, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide are among the ingredients or byproducts that will be subject to the new rule this year.
The FDA plans to make information about the amounts of HPHCs in specific products available to the general public by April 2013.
Although the 2009 law also gave the FDA the authority to set standards on the level of harmful ingredients in tobacco products, the agency has not used the power.
An estimated 443,000 people in the U.S. die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency reports tobacco use has resulted in a huge economic burden, resulting in more than $96 billion in medical costs and $97 billion in lost productivity each year.-

Q: How to loop html table rows using ajax Here's my PHP
case "Add":
     if(isset($_POST['Add'])){
          $Addquery = "INSERT INTO tb_empgrocery (empgrocID, coopmemID , date_ordered, item_no, qty_ordered, unit_price, amount, date_delivered, qty_delivered, order_status, released_by) VALUES ('".$_POST['empgrocID']."', '".$_SESSION['coopmemID']."', (NOW()), '".$_POST['itemNo']."', '".$_POST['orderqty']."', '".$_POST['unit_price']."', '".$_POST['amount']."', '".$_POST['date_delivered']."', '".$_POST['qty_delivered']."','".$_POST['order_status']."','".$_POST['released_by']."')";
          mysql_query($Addquery, $con);
     }
break;

This is my loop function
function saveID(itemID){
     var check = false;
     $('#cLoanOut2 > tbody  > tr').each(function() {
          if ($(this).attr('id') === itemID){
               check = true;
               return false;
          }
     });
               return check;
}

Here's my jquery ajax
$('#OKBtn2').click(function(){
     $('#myModal2').modal('hide');
     var itemid = $('#main-form2 .active').attr('id'),
     qty = $('#main-form2 #'+itemid+' td:eq(2)').text(),
     amount = $('#main-form2 #'+itemid+' td:eq(4)').text();
     var itemID = $(this).closest('tr').attr('id');
     $('#itemID').val(itemID);
     bootbox.confirm("Are you sure?","No","Yes",function(r){
          if(r) {
               saveID(itemID);
               var itemno = $('#itemNo').val();
//             var currqty = $('#orderqty').val();
               var unit_price = $('#unitPrice').val();
//             var Amount = $('#amount').val();
               $.ajax({
                    url : url,
                    type : "POST",
                    async : false,
                    data : {
                         Add: 1,
                         itemNo: itemno,
                         orderqty: qty,
                         unit_price: unit_price,
                         amount: amount,
                         todo:"Add"
                     },
                     success:function(result){
                          bootbox.alert('Ordered',function(){
                               });
                          updateTable();
                     }
                });
           } else {

           }
     });
});

Here's I want to make. I have a form and when i click okbtn2 a bootbox confirm will show and if i click yes it will loop all the rows so that all items that I've ordered will be added on my database. Add works on the database but it doesn't add the next row so I have to work on my loop inside the OKBtn2 function
Thanks in advance

New gym allows Moulescoomb ABC to fulfil its full potential
May 22, 2019 | by Matt Halfpenny
Moulescoomb ABC has opened the doors to its new gym after a four-year project that was part-funded by Sport England.
The Brighton-based club were over-subscribed with a long waiting list of potential members, but only a small one-storey scout hut in which to train them.
Now, though, the club has trebled in size across two floors, with new changing facilities, an office, two rings, and an additional training area with storage.
Club Chairman Robert Bell (pictured, second left) was instrumental in bringing the project reached a successful conclusion, tirelessly liaising with planners and council representatives to get all necessary permissions and paperwork in place for the building to go ahead.
Adam Muirhead (pictured far-right) supported the club to formulate a new committee and helped draft the application to Sport England, as well as other funders, who helped pay to re-equip the facility.
Coaches Matt and Nick Bell (pictured centre and centre-right) also played important roles, not only working long hours painting and labouring on the site free of charge, but calling in favours from many trades people and construction businesses, not to mention fundraising continually to finance the cost of the work.
The gym was formally opened by the local Mayoress who cut the ribbon, after which members of the local community, boxers, funders and contributing businesses were invited to have a look round the gym for themselves.

ick Up identified as Francis Tumwebaze has been arrested and being detained at Bobi Police Station, according to police.
The wreckage of the motorcycle and the vehicle are parked at Bobi Police Station.
Shortly after the accident, hundreds of aggrieved residents of Koro Abili locked the Gulu-Kampala highway using logs, stones while others sat on tarmac, momentarily interrupting the flow of traffic.
The angry residents were calmed by Omoro District LCV Chairperson Douglas Peter Okao who convinced the resident to abandon the protest.
This is the third accident to have claimed lives of motorcyclists in Koro Abili alone since the New Year, according to statistics from the police.


Perennial Flax features airy sky blue flowers at the ends of the stems in mid summer. Its grassy leaves remain green in colour throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Perennial Flax is an open herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. It brings an extremely fine and delicate texture to the garden composition and should be used to full effect.
Perennial Flax will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 8 inches apart. It tends to be leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 3 years.
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type, but has a definite preference for alkaline soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is not originally from North America.
