We know many of you are doing practices dedicated to Chögyal Namkhai Norbu's health. We would like to give visibility to the practices you usually do and thus give other practitioners, lings or gars the possibility to join your practices.
For that purpose, we are creating a calendar where we can put the day, time and type of practices you are doing. This calendar will be visible in Dzamling Gar & Practicing Together websites.
The aim is to promote more global practices dedicated to support the health of our beloved Rinpoche. With this new tool, we can more often join our energies through our practices in a self-organized way.
We kindly invite you to send us the days when you are planning to do these practices and we will publish them on the calendar of practices on a regular basis.

I just noticed that nrl.com has Big Willie out for 17 weeks. Long time! Also Rooster Mini is out indefinitely with a hammy. I saw Kingy on Saturday and am pretty sure that he is available for the Saints (if he can get a start!).
We may be well placed against the Panthers as we meet them after SOO1 and after SOO3 and I can see them having a few players taking part. The way we are going we may end up hurting more! Go you Eagles.
Rounds 8 to 13 are where we will really see how well we are going. Broncos, (Tiges), Bulldogs, Eels, Panthers and Roosters. Going into this period we should have 12, possibly 14, competition points and have a lot of confidence.
Next game we will have a full squad to choose from. We'll also have our first look at alberts!
Rounds 8 to 13 will be a real test of character.
Im pretty sure alberts will need to prove himself.

In computer science, the number of concurrent users (sometimes abbreviated CCU) for a resource in a location, with the location being a computing network or a single computer, refers to the total number of people simultaneously accessing or using the resource. The resource can, for example, be a computer program, a file, or the computer as a whole.

Keeping track of concurrent users is important in several cases. First, some operating system models such as time-sharing operating systems allow several users to access a resource on the computer at the same time. As system performance may degrade due to the complexity of processing multiple jobs from multiple users at the same time, the capacity of such a system may be measured in terms of maximum concurrent users.

Second, commercial software vendors often license a software product by means of a concurrent users restriction. This allows a fixed number of users access to the product at a given time and contrasts with an unlimited user license. For example: Company X buys software and pays for 20 concurrent users. However, there are 100 logins created at implementation. Only 20 of those 100 can be in the system at the same time, this is known as floating licensing.

Concurrent user licensing allows firms to purchase computer systems and software at a lower cost because the maximum number of concurrent users expected to use the system or software at any given time (those users all logged in together) is only a portion of the total system users employed at a company. The concurrent licenses are global and shared by anyone who needs to use the system. This contrasts with "named-seats" licensing, in which one license must be purchased for each and every individual user, whether they are using the system or not.

If a company employs 400 system users in which 275 work during the day and 125 work at night, then they can opt to purchase only 275 concurrent user licenses since there will never be more than 275 users on the system during a normal work day. The night workers share 125 of the day users' licenses to use the system. For named-seat licenses, this same company would have to purchase 400 individual licenses, one for each user, and licenses would not be globally shared. The available options for licensing are entirely at the discretion of the vendor selling the product.

Less normal but all is not lost during the pandemic
While wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing would continue for a while, it's important to get real while making plans (and peace) with the virus.
Allan Jacob
Published: Wed 12 Jan 2022, 10:55 PM
In my attempt to relive the 'lost normal' from before the coronavirus pandemic, I chanced upon what Dubai Airports CEO Paul Griffiths said in an interview recently.
He stressed on a 'common-sense' approach to make the post-pandemic era easier for people who want to live in harmony as they travelled farther to new destinations.
Griffiths was referring to the aviation sector that's been one of the hardest hit during the pandemic. His words made sense when all manner of confusion, caution and warnings (courtesy of the World Health Organisation) surround our masked existence during the crisis.
While wearing masks and maintaining physical distancing would continue for a while, it's important to get real while making plans (and peace) with the virus just as we have lived with influenza or the common cold for millions of years.
I am, however, not sure if it's time to take Covid-19 in our stride yet. Experts are still unsure about when we will reach an endemic stage in this battle against an unseen foe. It is not a case of 'if' but 'when', they tell us. The question is: are people prepared to wait? A little more time could go a long way…
Modern pandemic rules have been framed to keep us safe but they are a means until 'when' this phase ends. Vaccines have worked to a large extent against previous variants with fewer spikes.
Omicron, however, looks more omnipresent — it's all over the place and the shots may need to be modified. The WHO believes that if we vaccinate 70 per cent of the nine billion global population with two doses by March this year, we could take back a semblance of control after losing two years to virus-induced lockdowns and curbs.
Meanwhile, restrictions are being revived in miniature versions following the advent of Omicron, with some governments even threatening full-blown lockdowns.
What's important here is to put our knowledge about the virus and emerging variants to good use and continue to live like we should while limiting the damage to the economy and society.
Frequent and mandatory tests for Covid could soon be a thing of the past and will make travelling easier, said the Dubai Airports chief.
"Once the (Covid-19) testing regime becomes history, which I think it will do shortly, there will be a strong recovery, and we need governments to stop interfering with the common-sense regulations that are now emerging in the wake of the latest strain of the virus," said Griffiths.
In other words, he meant it's time for people to get practical and move on, to prepare to travel and become social again even though things appear bleak in the short term with the advent of Omicron.
A refreshing thought from a corporate leader, much like the UAE's and Dubai sensible approach to combat the evolving health crisis. Griffith's statement only confirms the strategy to let people and organisations take control of the situation to prevent the spread of the pathogen. It boils down to personal responsibility and increased organisational effectiveness.
In two years, we have learned that what's certain about this pandemic is the uncertainty it has caused. All predictions have been imperfect: the death toll continues to rise and has crossed 5.5 million. Cases have spiked to more than 313 million and a tsunami of disease is expected in the next month in Europe.
But a mild case is better than severe, getting a jab should be preferred than falling sick and in hospital. Silver linings abound. Let me explain with some data.
According to the WHO, the common flu affects a billion people every year. Of these, 3.5 million cases are severe and between 290,000-650,000 lives are lost annually. It may not compare to the Covid, yet it proves that we will soon be in control of the situation when the coronavirus can be managed with ease, though not eradicated.
This brings me to where we currently are: on the cusp of a new normal, or 'normalisation' as the Dubai Airports chief put it. Such a state has been reached after scientists developed vaccines in a record nine months back in 2020. It was a sprint for the jabs but the emergence of variants has made us rethink the old normal we once enjoyed and took for granted.
For some, the new normal would be shedding the mask post their vaccinations, which isn't happening yet. For others, it's stepping out and being less formal about social gatherings.
As we reach what could be the final stages of the pandemic, an epidemic of confusion is being sown which we must be wary about. There's rising polemic about masks and vaccine mandates amid fears of polarisation.
Normalisation in this situation requires us to adopt common-sense measures that help us live in harmony with this disease and each other while putting less strain on health systems and medical professionals. If we can accept the flu for what it is, so can we with Covid-19.

But now, it's not so hard to realise that the girlboss culture has set unrealistic standards for women.

The Bachelor of Science in Architecture degree is a 4-year pre-professional program. Design studios are central to the curriculum. Sequential studio courses serve as courses for the comprehension and synthesis of academic and professional knowledge and for the integration of thinking and making. Dedicated studio, woodshop, digital fabrication, and lab spaces allow for in-house drawing, modeling, and digital visualization.
Graduates are qualified for a variety of positions in architecture and related fields for which a professional degree and registration are not requirements for advancement. Additionally, students may utilize this degree toward the goal of architectural education at the graduate level.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Architecture may be conferred upon a student by recommendation of the faculty and upon the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 123 semester hours of credit with a minimum cumulative 2.00 GPA.
All required Architecture courses, MATH 1031, and PHYS 1021 or ECE 2142 must be completed with a C- or better to fulfill major requirements.
If ECE 2142 is selected, students will need another GenEd Science and Technology (GS) course to satisfy the GenEd requirement.
Bachelor of Science in Architecture students who plan to study abroad are encouraged to meet with an advisor as early as the freshman year. While the grid below suggests appropriate coursework, a semester abroad would require using free electives that ordinarily would be taken in other semesters. It will take careful planning with an advisor to ensure that the degree is completed as efficiently as possible, and that courses normally taken in the spring of junior year or the fall of senior year on Main campus are completed before the semester abroad. ARCH 3234 can substitute for ARCH 4331; ARCH 3241 counts as an Architecture elective.

Српске чиче ("стричеви") у Великом рату у Србији, у којој су с почетка 20. века људи старили брже но игде другде на свету, називани су људи из последње одбране Српске војске који су имали  45. до 50. година, па на више. Међу њима је било много оних који ће "склопити своје очи" баш онда када је њихова отаџбина бројила задње дане у слободи у првим годинама Великог рата. После Великог рата у Србији ће чиче, које су и до тада увек уживале најдубље поштовање и љубав млађих генерација, с пуним правом, бити десет пута више поштовани и вољени.

Услови који су владали у Србији у првим годинама Великог рата

Општа војна обавеза у Србији уведена је 1883. године а сви војни обвезници делили су се на први, други и трећи позив и трупе последње одбране.
 Први позив чинили су сви мушкарци старосне доби од 21. до 31. године старости
 Други позива чинила су лица од 31. до 38. године старости.
 Трећи позив чинила су лица од 38. до 45. године старости.
 Последња одбрана обухватала је омладину од 18. до 21. и старије грађане од 45. до 50. навршене године старости.
Укупан број бораца I и II позива износио је 336.063, III позива 52.392, последње одбране 6.220 (омладинаца) и 27.756 (Српских чича) ангажованих у војним станицама, санитетским и профијантским возовима, тако да је до септембра 1914. укупно је мобилисано 423.441 лице, међу којима 870 виших и 3.869 нижих активних и резервних официра и 1.485 административних чиновника и обвезника чиновничког реда.

Стање одеће и друге опреме на почетку Великог рата било је незадовољавајуће:
 Први позив народне војске био је снабдевен истрошеним оделима, преосталим из балканских ратова 1912/13. године, која су после демобилизације била враћена у магацине.
 Други позив није имао комплетну одећу, већ је неко имао блузу, неко шињел, неко панталоне, а појединци само шајкачу.
 Трећи и последњи позив био је у свом народном оделу, без војничког одела и обуће.
Поред недостатака у одећи и обући, велика оскудица владала је и у логорској опреми, храни, понтонирском материјалу, телеграфско-телефонској опреми, санитетском материјалу, колима, коњима и многим другим средствима и опреми. Оружје и опрема заплењени од Турака и Бугара нису могли попунити недостатке.

Општа разматрања о чичама у Великом рату

У Србији која се с почетка 20. века нашла у неколико ратова нико није никад био сувише стар да се бори за интересе сопствене домовине. Они нису носили униформе, јер их Српска војска за њих није имала, па су у маршу пружали слику у исто време смешну и дирљиву, а и по њихово здравље угрожавајућу. Међутим чиче су захваљујући вишегодишњем искуству кроз живот и раније ратове, знали не само како да се цео дан одрже на сувом хлебу од пола фунте, него и како да се заклоне за дрво и камен. Кад је видео, да се Србија налази у самртним мукама, српски чича је желео само једно - да сачува домовину или и он умре с њом.

Задатак једног чиче

Њихов задатак је био у томе да чувају железничку пругу, мост или неки важни објекат док су се његови синови борили на граници са непријатељем:

А у одсутним тренуцима за опстанак Србије, након снажног продора непријатеље, активно су се укључиле у фронтовску борбу, и заједно су се раме уз раме са војницима првог и другог позива, укључиле у одсудни бој.

Опрема једног чиче
Ево како је био опремљен српски чича у Великом рату:

Једино је шајкача била неизоставно обележје српског војника.

Најчешће су били наоружани увелико застарелим пушкама једнометкама М.1880 система Маузер-Миловановић и М.1870 система Бердан.

Q: Calcula moda con calificaciones ingresadas -java- Estoy tratando de obtener la moda de las calificaciones que se ingresaron al inicio del programa. Para esto el programa te pregunta cuantas calificaciones se ingresan, ingresas los valores uno por uno.
Al final te imprime porcentaje de aprobados, reprobados, etc.
El ultimo paso es imprimir la moda de todas las calificaciones. Y he investigado algunos metodos, pero para esto tiene que ir definidos en un array dentro del codigo indicando cada elemento y su posicion, lo cual no es funcional para este ejemplo.
El codigo es el siguiente:
package aprobadosreprobados;

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Aprobadosreprobados {
public static void main(String[] args) {

             Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in); //creacion de objeto scanner para capturar informacion

  //designamos variables a inicializar en 0
        int muybien=0, reprobados=0, aprobados=0, bien=0, regular=0, mejorar=0, insuficiente=0, nopresento=0,calif=0, i=0, n;
        float procenteaprobados, porcentajereprobados;
        System.out.print("Ingrese el numero de alumnos: ");
        n =sc.nextInt();
        while (i<=n) //variable while con condicion de cantidad de alumnos a capturar
        {
            System.out.println("Ingresa la calificación para los alumnos de la materia de Programación orientada a objetos en una escala de 0 a 100: ");
            calif=sc.nextInt();//guarda calificacion
            if (calif>=60) {
                aprobados++;
            }else
                reprobados++;

                if (calif >= 81 && calif <= 100)
                    {
                        muybien++;
                    }
                if (calif >= 61 && calif <= 80)
                    {
                       bien ++;
                    }
                if (calif >= 41 && calif <= 60)
                    {
                       regular++;
                    }
                if (calif >= 21 && calif <= 40)
                    {
                       mejorar++;
                    }
                if (calif >= 1 && calif <= 20)
                    {
                        insuficiente++;
                    }
                if (calif == 0)
                    {
                        nopresento++;
                    }
            i++;
        }
        System.out.println("Promedio de alumnos con calificación Muy bien: "+muybien);
        System.out.println("Promedio de alumnos con calificación Muy bien: "+bien);
        System.out.println("Promedio de alumnos calificación Muy bien: "+regular);
        System.out.println("Promedio de alumnos calificación Muy bien: "+mejorar);
        System.out.println("Promedio de alumnos calificación Muy bien: "+insuficiente);

        porcentajereprobados=100*aprobados/n;
        System.out.println("\nPorcentaje aprobados"+aprobados);

    {
    //el array para la moda iria aqui

}

A: tenías algunos errores en el código, por ejemplo en los if, ya que desde el punto de vista de las buenas prácticas de programación no es eficiente, para el caso de tu ejercicio, usar if simples, por el hecho que tiene que comprobar uno por uno, en cambio fijate que al usarif con else if solo entra en el que cumple la condición y termina, no sigue comprobando los if restantes. También fijate como están anidados (uno dentro de otro). Investiga un poco sobre este tema (estructuras de control). Acá va el código:
Scanner sc=new Scanner (System.in);
int muybien=0, reprobados=0, aprobados=0, bien=0, regular=0, mejorar=0, insuficiente=0, nopresento=0,calif=0, i=0, n;
float porcentajereprobados=0,promMuyBien=0,promBien=0,promRegular=0,promMejorar=0,promInsuficiente=0;
System.out.print("Ingrese el numero de alumnos: ");
n =sc.nextInt();
int M[];//declaramos arreglo donde se guardarán las notas para luego calcular la moda
M =new int[n];//lo inicializamos con longitud igual a cantidad de notas, o sea n
while (i < n) //variable while con condicion de cantidad de alumnos a capturar
{
    System.out.println("Ingresa la calificación para los alumnos de la materia de Programación orientada a objetos en una escala de 0 a 100: ");
    calif=sc.nextInt();//guarda calificacion
    if (calif >=0 && calif <=100){
        if (calif>=60) {
            if (calif >= 81 && calif <= 100) muybien++;
            else if (calif >= 61 && calif <= 80) bien ++;
            aprobados++;
        }
        else {
            if (calif >= 41 && calif <= 60) regular++;
            else if (calif >= 21 && calif <= 40) mejorar++;
            else if (calif >= 1 && calif <= 20) insuficiente++;
            else nopresento++;
            reprobados++;
        }
    }
    else System.out.println("La nota ingresada es inválida");
    M[i] =calif;//se guarda la nota ingresada en la posicion i
    i++;
}

That Astonishing Tory Ferguslie Park Super Triumph 176
May 6, 2017 in Uncategorized by craig
A Google news search returns 5,240 results for "Ferguslie Park" over the last 24 hours. As compared to 0 mentions in the previous 24 hours.
The media have, with an incredible level of unanimity, seized upon a Tory being elected to represent Ferguslie Park, "the most deprived area of Scotland", as the leading evidence of a Tory resurgence into areas of Scotland "they could not previously venture into". I have heard this recounted on every available broadcast platform this evening.
I have two bits of news for the unionist media. Firstly, Ferguslie Park is in Paisley. Most of you think it is in Glasgow. Secondly there is no ward called Ferguslie Park. There is a place called Ferguslie Park, and it is less than half of a ward called Paisley Northwest. Now here is the result of that stunning Tory super-victory amazing spectacular miraculous shocking earth-shattering mould-breaking Tory triumph in Paisley Northwest.
My, how the ground shook. In future years, everybody will recall just exactly where they were at the moment the Conservatives polled 13% in Paisley North West, when that vast uprising of 657 voters swept their candidate to victory on the 10th set of transfers into the fourth available slot in a multi-member constituency.
Now, this will come as a shock to some people. Paisley North West is not a dreadful slum, and contains some distinctly prosperous areas. Much of the ward looks like this.
Here are some statistics for the entire ward.
65% of households in Paisley North West are owner occupied
67% of the population of Paisley North West are employed, self employed or full time students
5.1% of the population of Paisley North West are unemployed
23% of the population of Paisley North West are pensioners
4.9% are housewives/husbands/carers or not in the labour force
In a local election poll with a low turnout, there is a disproportionately high turnout from pensioners and from the wealthier districts. Very few indeed of those measly 657 Tory votes came from the Ferguslie Park estate.
The real story is that in a ward with 65% owner-occupiers and 67% economically active, the Tories could still only manage a measly 13% of the vote. That the large majority of £350,000 owner occupiers do not vote Tory. The real story is that the SNP took 44% to the Tories 13%. But no, the march of Ruth's 13%ers has apparently changed the course of history. As Tom Robinson once sang, "It's there in the papers, must be the truth".

And out of the no doubt hundreds of examples, what's your favourite spun story Don ?

There is also the distinct possibility that many of the Tory candidate's votes came from people who actually intended their vote to go to a prominent local activist with the same name, who had to have his middle name on the ballot only because of the name clash.

Good analysis of the situation . I am sending this to my daughter in Brooklyn as she is puzzled by the media portrayal of these local elections. Your blog helps on this Paisley Northwest result.
Ruth Davidson must be so gratified to see the reactions in the Press! Smiling now, but as an intelligent person she must be shamed by other political criticisms of the "Conservative Surge"!

Thanks for clarifying this. It needs to be published/broadcast far and wide .
Pardon my ignorance, it's probably that, but…why is Auntie reporting Local shopkeeper from League of Gentlemen lookalike Thomas Kerr as the champion of Shettleston ?

When I was growing up in Paisley in the 1970s, young people from the 'sink estates' of Ferguslie Park were known pejoratively by the quasi-Dickensian term, 'Fegs' (possibly to distinguish them from, 'Neds'). But much of that housing has gone now.
Anyway, back in the 1970s, there were very many working class Tories in Scotland (and not just the Orange Lodge) and also many Conservative MPs. Lots of people had a photo on The Queen on their wall. I went to Paisley Grammar school and certainly until it started streaming (1969-1975) and then no longer streaming (1976, onwards) from local comprehensives my overriding impression was that most of the pupils there (children largely of lower/professional/business middle-class/skilled working class/petit bourgeoisie) were avowed Conservative supporters. That really died away during the course of the 1980s with the Thatcherite assault. But now it may be returning in a somewhat different guise. Yes, of course, the media is exaggerating it. But it is happening at some level. Also, repeated social attitudes' surveys have suggested that actually, attitudes in Scotland to a whole host of things are not that different – they are slightly different – from those in England.

Tamino plays in the University of Illinois 2011 production of Mozart's "The Magic Flute," directed by Eduardo Diazmuñoz.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Internationally renowned opera singer Nathan Gunn has been named general director of the University of Illinois' new Lyric Theatre program, which - like Gunn - will embrace a broad spectrum of vocal theater repertoire, from musicals to opera.
"Creating a title that best suited the job at hand was no easy feat, but I like the ring of it," said Gunn, who is a U. of I. alumnus and voice professor. "I'll be responsible for the artistic direction and fiscal integrity of the program.
"This program will combine the strengths of the School of Music, and the departments of theater and of dance at Illinois, enhancing the education of undergraduates and better preparing our graduate students for the professional world. The fundamentals of singing, dancing and acting are more necessary than ever to be competitive in the world of musical theater, operetta and opera, and that is what we intend to give them at Lyric Theatre at Illinois."
Jeffrey Magee, the head of the School of Music at Illinois, said Lyric Theatre will regularly engage guest stage directors, conductors, performers and composers, with the goal of providing students with not only the tools but also the connections they need to pursue performance careers.
"This will be comprehensive training for the singing actor," Magee said. "Nathan's leadership symbolizes that link between the university and the top shelf of the professional world, because he lives in both worlds. We're hoping the networks that form through this program can help us carve a path for students once they graduate."
Gunn's personal performance schedule for the next few months includes touring Australia with Mandy Patinkin in November, performing the role of Papageno in "The Magic Flute" with the Metropolitan Opera in December and January, and starring as Figaro in "The Barber of Seville" with the Lyric Opera of Chicago in February. But that doesn't mean he's absent from the U. of I.
"He's been with us on the phone, email and Skype quite a bit lately," Magee said.
Other Lyric Theatre faculty members: voice professor Jerold Siena as artistic administrator, and accompanying professor Julie Jordan Gunn as director of Lyric Theatre studies. Siena, a tenor, has appeared regularly with the Metropolitan Opera and other prestigious opera companies, and has directed operatic productions for Arizona Opera, Florida Presbyterian College and Yale University. Julie Gunn - a pianist, music director, vocal coach and song arranger - has served on the music staff at the Metropolitan Opera's young artist program, Wolf Trap Opera, St. Louis Opera Theatre and many others. She is the assistant director for development and public engagement in the School of Music.
Tom Mitchell and Rebecca Nettl-Fiol will serve as liaisons with the theater and dance divisions, respectively.
Lyric Theatre will take the place of the opera program that has been under the leadership of artistic director Eduardo Diazmuñoz for the past decade. Diazmuñoz has accepted the position of music director of the Conservatorium Orchestra and professor of conducting at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Australia. In his announcement of the creation of Lyric Theatre, Magee acknowledged Diazmuñoz's contributions to Illinois.
"We extend profound thanks for his extraordinary service to the University of Illinois," Magee said.
A farewell party for Diazmuñoz will take place following one of the November performances of "Falstaff" at Krannert Center for the Performing Arts.

Red Cross chief urges Myanmar to allow more access to conflict areas
International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) President Peter Maurer attends a news conference to launch the survey ''People on War'' in Geneva, Switzerland, December 5, 2016. REUTERS/Denis Balibouse
By Simon Lewis
YANGON -- The International Committee of the Red Cross has asked Myanmar to let aid workers get access to people caught up in conflicts that have displaced tens of thousands despite a transition that brought Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi to power.
Authorities have blocked the ICRC from areas under the control of ethnic minority forces and from visiting some prisoners, the organisation's president, Peter Maurer, told reporters late on Wednesday in the commercial capital, Yangon.
"We would like to have access to all the people in need in order to do proper assessments, to help ease according to needs," he said.
Maurer visited the northwestern state of Rakhine, where he toured camps set up almost five years ago to house those displaced by communal clashes between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine Buddhists.
He did not visit the north of the state, where a security operation in response to insurgent attacks in October sent an estimated 74,000 people fleeing to Bangladesh.
Troops and police have been accused of killing and raping Rohingyas, who are denied citizenship in Myanmar and widely viewed as interlopers from Bangladesh.
The government only recently allowed international aid workers to visit affected villages, under the condition that they are accompanied by government officials, the U.N. humanitarian agency said on May 1.
A separate ICRC delegation visited detainees in the area last month.
Maurer was set to visit Kachin State in the north on Thursday, but the government denied a request to visit the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) stronghold of Laiza.
The ICRC is assisting a civilian hospital there, but staff have not been able to visit since fighting between the KIA and government forces broke out eight months ago.
Maurer travels to the capital, Naypyidaw, on Friday to meet officials and he will meet Suu Kyi in Beijing during an international conference there next week, he said.
Former political prisoner Suu Kyi won a landslide in elections before becoming the de facto head of the civilian administration in April 2016 after decades of military rule.
But her priority of securing peace with autonomy-seeking minority insurgents has been set back by fighting that has displaced an estimated 160,000 more people since the transition, according to U.N. data.
Suu Kyi's spokesman, Zaw Htay, could not immediately be reached for comment.
Maurer said access to conflict areas was "always a difficult equation of security considerations versus needs of people for assistance and protection," but he was "unsatisfied" by the limits in place in Myanmar.
Granting more access was in the interests of the government and the armed forces, he said.
"At the end of the day there is no more effective tool to ease tensions than to offer fluid procedures for access to humanitarian organizations like us," he said.

A new test lab costing US$14m is now in full operation at the CATARC (China Automotive Technology & Research Center) facility in Tianjin, China.
The CATARC-MTS Vehicle Test Technology & Innovation Platform was fully outfitted by MTS Systems Corporation and greatly expands CATARC's core test capabilities, enabling more local OEMs to bring to market next-generation vehicles with improved reliability, safety and fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, MTS will benefit from working together with the Chinese manufacturers and it will improve its brand image in the Chinese market.
Thanks to the MTS ground vehicle testing systems, CATARC will now be able to address issues associated with vehicle aerodynamics, durability and performance, and advanced testing simulation.
Above: Model 329 tire-coupled road simulator with specimen.
Among the technologies that MTS has supplied there are multi-axial simulation tables, multi-axial spindle-coupled road simulators, and mHIL (mechanical hardware-in-the-loop) hybrid simulation systems. CATARC is also making use of MTS rolling resistance test technologies and the company's material testing systems.
The main customization involved included meeting local language requirements and power infrastructure. We supplied CATARC with an mHIL steer testing system that enables both HPS and EPS testing; also mHIL can provide the steer development without physical specimen in simulation environment. And the MAST with six vertical actuators will enable the exhaust system testing on MAST.
MTS has provided CATARC personnel with complete hardware and software training for all new equipment, in addition to ongoing, advanced test and simulation consultation.
With the establishment of the CATARC-MTS Vehicle Test Technology & Innovation Platform, both parties will be able to start co-research into new auto test technologies such as mHIL, hybrid simulation, EDM and other new techniques.

(Taipei Times, By Su Yung-yao and William Hetherington) In an interview with Liberty Times, Academia Historica Director Wu Mi-cha said the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) should respond to the transitional justice act by drawing upon historical records, thereby releasing to the public previously hidden documents of the Chiang Kai-shek era. Wu says doing so will be evidence of a truly mature democracy, adding to the trust people have of their government. The transcript in Chinese can be found here.

Ruben Diaz, Sr., Spews Homophobia About Corey, Council
Bronx pol says the city's lawmaking body 'is controlled by the homosexual community'

Politics: Councilmembers Demand Diaz's Resignation
Recipients' email addresses (Up to ten, separated by commas.)
Bronx City Councilmember Ruben Diaz, Sr., a notoriously homophobic lawmaker, is under fire for making homophobic comments last week about the City Council and its openly gay speaker, Corey Johnson — and he's still refusing to cave in to his colleagues' demand for an apology.
"When I get to the City Council, I find that the City Council is controlled — most councilmembers out of 51 councilmembers — over there, everybody is controlled by the homosexual community," he said during a Spanish-language program known as "El Desahogo," according to NY1 News.
The conservative Democrat, who returned to the City Council last year after spending more than a decade in the State Senate, also said Johnson is a "homosexual" and falsely stated that he is married to another man. He later said he "misspoke" when he said Johnson is married, but stood by his other comments.
Calls to Diaz's office and emails to his staff were not returned by Saturday evening.
[Editor's note: On Saturday evening Gay City News editor-in-chief Paul Schindler spoke to PIX11 News about the Diaz comments.]
Many local politicians, including Mayor Bill de Blasio, immediately called on Diaz to apologize to the LGBTQ community and to those in the City Council, particularly the speaker. A spokesperson for the speaker said Diaz, Sr., should "apologize to all of his colleagues, and the entire LGBTQ community."
"Councilmember Díaz Sr.'s homophobic comments are offensive to both the speaker and the body, and have no place in New York City," the spokesperson added.
Diaz subsequently tried washing his hands clean of any wrongdoing when he said in a tweet Saturday morning that he was "giving them credit for the power and influence they have" and asked what was so homophobic about his comments.
Councilmember Brad Lander of Brooklyn responded directly on Twitter, saying "Rev. Diaz, it is homophobic to say LGBTQ community controls @NYCCouncil, just like it is anti-Semitic to say Jews control the media … @CoreyinNYC was elected Speaker b/c he worked the hardest, made strategic moves, and ultimately won all our votes. Not b/c the LGBTQ community controls him or us. Ascribing his success to his being gay is classic stereotyping. It diminishes his personal accomplishments, and reinforces bias against LGBTQ New Yorkers. That's why it is homophobic."
In a follow-up interview with News 12, the elder Diaz continued to dig himself a deeper hole, saying the LGBTQ members of the Council are "not the victim… They are in control, they have power, influence."
Councilmembers Jumaane Wiliams of Brooklyn, Mark Levine of Manhattan, Rafael Salamanca, Jr. of the Bronx, Helen Rosenthal of Manhattan, Rafael L. Espinal, Jr. of Brooklyn, Barry Grodenchik of Queens, and former Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito of Manhattan were among others who chided Diaz and demanded an apology. Mark-Viverito, Williams, and Espinal are among the candidates in the February 26 public advocate special election.
Even Diaz's son, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr., joined the chorus on Saturday afternoon, calling his father's statements "antagonistic, quarrelsome, and wholly unnecessary. He should apologize."
LGBTQ groups responded in similar fashion. The Lambda Independent Democrats of Brooklyn called the comments "homophobic, period," while the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City also asked for an apology.
And while most were seeking an apology, out gay Queens Councilmember Jimmy Van Bramer, recalling in a tweet the pain he felt as a gay youth without role models, wrote, "To see this hatred of us makes me livid. I don't want an apology. I want him to resign." Bronx State Senator Gustavo Rivera, also on Twitter, said that Diaz, Sr., should resign, even if he "he won't listen to me." Public advocate candidate Nomiki Konst also called for him to quit, saying "it's time for @revrubendiaz to take his bigotry out of the Council and step down."
Diaz, Sr., said during last week's interview that, upon his arrival to City Council, he sat down with Diaz, Jr. and Assemblymember Marcos Crespo, the Bronx Democratic Party chair. The pair asked, "Daddy, what is it that you want in the Council?" He said he wanted to be the chair of the Transportation Committee, but had to settle for chair of the For-Hire Vehicle Committee, which had not previously existed.The Transportation Committee continues to be chaired by Ydanis Rodriguez, another candidate for public advocate who has been repudiated by LGBTQ political groups because of his support for the elder Diaz.
Diaz, Sr., said he now fears he will be stripped of his position, reports News 12 Brooklyn.
Johnson, who spearheads the divvying up of assignments in the Council in his capacity as speaker, rejected the notion that Diaz, Sr., got the committee assignment he wanted — and by extension the implication that Johnson won the support of the Bronx delegation in his speakership bid because he accommodated the elder Diaz's wishes.
"All of the appointments are based on merit, expertise, and familiarity with issues covered by each committee," Johnson said through his spokesperson, according to NY1. "Council Member Díaz, Sr., represents many of the for-hire vehicle drivers this Council has been trying to help in a time of unprecedented turmoil in the industry, and the Council has produced excellent work in this legislative session."
Notorious for his anti-gay views, Diaz, Sr., has shown hostility toward the community for decades. He wrote in 1994 that the Gay Games in New York "would lead to an increase in AIDS cases and to wider acceptance of homosexuality by young people."
As a state senator, he held multiple rallies in opposition to same-sex marriage before his colleagues ultimately passed the Marriage Equality Act in 2011.

me again from brooklyn says:
Hey it's called politics. Johnson needed the support of the powerful Bronx oranization to become City Council President. And in a spirit of both political realism and potential reconciliation he gave Diaz a coveted committee taxi-related post. A post which he & the Council has now swiftly acted to remove, and which could not have been done until the good reverend once again opened his homophobic mouth. Corey will do well. He is a progressive & intelligent leader that is leading the council in pursuing progressive ideals. However the one councilman who needs to be supported is Jerry Van Bramer of Queens, who is under considerable attack and being wrongly blamed for Amazon's abrupt departure. He was true to his beliefs and principles that a secret closed door undemocratic deal to bring an anti-union company such as Amazon was not the way to go. Arrogant Amazon is the one to blame for refusing to negotiate with the community and its representatives, just as it refuses to deal with or allow most unions in its workplaces. Amazon acted like a big bully who refused to play ball with the community and then took the ball and walked away. Good riddance. LIC is , was, and will be booming with or without the richest man in the world demanding corporate handouts to get his way. Presumably Bezos is not accustomed to people and politicians standing up to him and rightfully telling him: if you come here you play by our rules. He prefers backroom deals that ignore the people. The actions of Amazon have shown us that it would not have been a good neighbor in the first place - bad for worker's rights, bad for democracy and democratic input, and definitely bad for the free market. Bravo to Jerry Van Bramer for not being a puppet and a pawn of the super-rich, and not being a fascinator of their attempts to gain even greater power and control in this city.

Multiple quiet closures as Macau grapples with full on end of Covid policy
Author: Henry Brown Published Date: January 5, 2023
Unofficial reports are coming out of China and its administrative districts of Macau and Hong Kong of widespread SARS-CV-2 infections among the populations.
On the heels of civil unrest related to Beijing's "zero-Covid" policy, the government has decided to ease restrictions and learn to live with the virus, easing restrictions and opening borders.
In Macau, as many as half of the casino employees are currently infected at one property on Cotai, according to a report in IAG quoting an unnamed source that works at the casino property.
The Chinese government is not known for transparency or accurate public reporting, according to western media, so anecdotal reports from trusted sources are about as close to the truth on the ground as most people are going to get.
Only 1/6 Infected According to Officials
According to GGRAsia, official numbers as of Friday indicated that about 1/6th of Macau residents had tested positive for the virus. However, at least three casino resorts and many food and beverage outlets have been closed recently.
The media source surveyed Macau concessionaire websites for closures and found that well over a dozen food and drink establishments at Galaxy Macau were showing as "temporarily closed until further notice".
It was unclear whether staffing shortages were responsible for the closures with only 3 listed as being "temporarily closed from 25 to 27 December".
While no reason was given, Wynn Palace noted on its website: "We have adjusted the operating hours of, or closed, certain parts of our facilities".
The website notices were similar elsewhere with some properties not listing any updates for restricted hours or temporary closures.
While some areas of the world isolated from foreigners, tracked the viral outbreak, quarantined, and vaccinated the population successfully, China's policy of zero tolerance combined with perhaps less effective vaccines has left the population vulnerable with very low effective "herd immunity".
World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus criticized the country's zero-covid policy back in May, stating that it was not sustainable and urged them to relax it.
Too much relaxation, too fast, has created a situation that will render unpredictable results. The spread of the virus may be next to impossible to track now since mandatory testing has been abolished and the population of more than 1.4 billion residents no longer have travel restrictions within the country.
Expecting a Quick Turn-around
However, some locals are expecting a fairly quick turn-around.
A gaming industry representative told Inside Asia Gaming, "There is now a massive infection, and it's happening so fast that the public is even fearful, which seems to be more than anyone expected. We can only hope for a real recovery in the second half of January, once the people of Macau have become accustomed to living with the virus."
Investors seemed to experience a disconnect on Tuesday as share prices rose. In late November Macau gaming stocks soared, some with their greatest gains ever after the government announced that six new concessions for 10-year licenses would be granted to the existing operators.
The edging up of stock prices seemed to be triggered by the announcement that international visitors would no longer be subjected to a 5-day quarantine after January 8, 2023. All that will be needed is a negative test result in the 2 days prior to arrival.
Chinese authorities also indicated recently that no more reporting of Covid deaths would be forthcoming and close-contact tracking would be discontinued.

There are many different scenarios we can look at, but els. The scientists come up with the ideas, but the engineers one of them is to create a barrier in a certain geographically actually do it. JANUS is the underwater communications sensitive location where unmanned systems provide persis- protocol we developed here, which is now the NATO stan- tent surveillance. We're looking at different types of vehi- dard. We conducted JANUS-Fest this past year, and had all of cles and sensor packages working together. We're looking at the different companies that make underwater modems set up things on the ? oor of the sea, towed arrays, data relays, and around our basin. Our engineers took the underwater modems multi-static systems. We're doing the studies and operations apart and made them all so that they're compatible. We put research to ? nd effective, interoperable and affordable solu-

And then we do the design and is just a protocol—but they all had their own proprietary mo- dems, and we gave them our JANUS open source C++ pro- tocol. By the end of the week, all of them could talk to each other using their own proprietary modem software, but with
JANUS on top. It's like Google Translate. We're not compet- ing with industry. We support the national industries – that's what we're for. We develop the concept and then we let the industries build it. And with JANUS, these different modem manufacturers can talk to each other without having to change anything, or give up anything proprietary.
Are the nations willing to come to you for help?
The nations will support us if we help their industries in their country. We helped the defense company Leonardo here in Italy by designing their towed array, and we brought them here and showed them how to make it. Now we're helping them develop the software and the decision aids that go on- board in the combat system, to use it. We cover our costs, but it's Italy's industry that's going to build and sell the system.
So let's talk a little bit about ASW and MCM.
That used to be the Center's focus back when it was the SACLANT Center, the NATO Undersea
Research Centre. What's the state of play here for ASW?
ASW is a very complicated mission area. ASW is about a third of our program. But many of our other programs, like environmental assessment, obviously supports ASW, too. If you know about the water column, for example, you know where to put your sensors. And I think of mine countermea- sures as an extreme extension of ASW, where the target is not www.marinetechnologynews.com
