Meaning of name: In Rukiga 'kakono' means 'arm'. This silverback has a lame arm.
Age: Estimated to be about 30 years.
In addition to his arm being lame and hanging limply on his side, he has only three fingers on the right hand and these stick out rigidly. It is likely that he suffered an accident that brought this defect upon him.
Unlike the other two silverbacks, he does not favour any female or females but mates with whichever takes up his fancy at his moment of need.
It's clear that he habours no intentions of family leadership and therefore he does not regard the blackbacks as a threat. In return the blackbacks prefer his company to that of his brother Nshongi and can often be seen hanging out with the old gorilla.
He wastes no time playing with the infants and juveniles and in return the small fry of the gorilla family hardly pay him attention.
This gruff old boy is glad to have you as a friend.

Together with Polyform, Alectia and UBLA, Holscher Nordberg developed a masterplan for Christiansholm, the prominent island in the center of the Copenhagen harbour.
The aim of our competition proposal was to set guidelines that could enhance the island's current status as a vibrant urban destination. We wanted to preserve most of the existing open, multifunctional structures with their spacious harbour-industrial halls.
The existing halls are modified slightly with people-friendly, lively edge zones and used for various informal and recreational public functions. These are combined with new structures on top for different types of housing adorned with roof top gardens.


Following Melbourne City FC's comprehensive victory over Heidelberg United on Tuesday night, we have a look at some of the key Quotes and Notes as the Club secured its spot in the Semi Final of the Westfield FFA Cup 2015.
"We had some moments that we wouldn't like to have of course, but you always know that against any opponent of a decent level you are going to get chances against you, and that happened.
"Looking at the first half we had the better chances and going up 1-0 very quickly we should have finished it off before they had their biggest chance.
"You know before you get the second goal it is still on. It's tricky but the boys did well in the second half. We knew the longer the game went on they would run out of fuel and we opened up the game and it is important to score that second goal.
"Aaron just continues on what he showed last year. In the game against Edgeworth Eagles he was very important of course. I am happy for him and for the team.
"Also Bruno scoring two goals, Robi Koren getting in scoring positions – unfortunately he didn't score but he showed some good work. I'm happy for that, the boys get 90 minutes under their belt and we are looking forward to the season opener against Sydney FC.
"I think for every team involved it is a priority. In this kind of league we don't have many games and the season is not that long. You have to take every opportunity to try and win prizes.
"I think the early goal probably set the pace for us. We didn't want to go into a game with that sort of start. We spoke about not conceding early and within a couple of minutes you are 1-0 down.
"Nevertheless I think the tempo, the pace, the professionalism and the full-time experience showed today and they were definitely the better team.
"I think the three week break for us had something to do with it because they are prepping up for the start of their season. They are probably working at a much different pace than us and are having consecutive games every second day.
After netting his first hat-trick for the Club, Aaron Mooy has now scored six goals in the FFA cup, leading the tournament's scoring charts ahead of Hume City's Marcus Schroen (4).
Mooy's treble is the first time a Melbourne City FC player has scored a hat-trick in the Westfield FFA Cup.
Bruno Fornaroli continued his impressive goal-scoring streak, netting a brace against Heidelberg to take his tally to three goals in his first two competitive matches.
With the win, Melbourne City FC are within touching distance of a first FFA Cup success, reaching the Semi Finals of the tournament for the very first time.
City have also netted five goals for the second successive FFA Cup match, after beating the Wellington Phoenix 5-1 in the Round of 16.
It was a memorable night for youth team product Hernan Espindola, who made his first competitive start for the Club since joining the first-team on an injury replacement contract.
City maintained their impressive form against National Premier Leagues opponents, with the win against Heidelberg adding to emphatic victories against North Geelong Warriors and Oakleigh Cannons during the pre-season.

Daikon is often shredded and used as a garnish for sashimi, or grated and splashed with lemon and soy sauce as a seasoning for grilled fish. Daikon is also commonly pickled and a side dish called Tsukemono, which is served with almost every traditional meal.
Wasabi is the hot, pungent, green paste that comes with sushi, and leaves a strong impression if you have too much! Wasabi is made by grating the fresh root of the wasabi plant. Fresh wasabi is expensive, so it's often made by adding water to horseradish powder and making a paste. Wasabi also come already as a paste in a tube.
Shrimp has long been a popular seafood in Japanese Cuisine, raw in sushi, and batter-fried to make tempura. Ebi-chili is a common Chinese style Japanese dish.
Miso is a basic staple of the traditional Japanese diet, made from crushed soybeans and malted rice which ferments into soybean paste. Miso can be sweeter, saltier, lighter or darker depending on where it cones from in Japan. Many dishes are made with Miso, but most well-known to westerners is Miso soup, served with almost every traditional Japanese meal.
Gobo is the root of the burdock plant. This is a picture of Kimpira-gobo, a popular Japanese salad made of julienned or shredded burdock root and carrot, braised with soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and sesame oil. Gobo is also used in tempura and in sushi rolls.
Here is hot soba in broth, which come with many different choices of toppings. This topping is nori, dried seaweed which melts and spreads out over the noodles.
Yakitori is made of different parts of chicken on bamboo skewers grilled over charcoal. During cooking it's seasoned with a sour-sweet soy sauce based sauce, or with salt alone. Yakitori is a popular snack food to accompany beer and other drinks.
Sushi is probably the most internationally love Japanese food. Sushi is small hand-formed blocks of vinegar, sugar, and salt seasoned rice, topped most often with raw fish or other seafood, or sweet egg omelette. Dipped in soy sauce, accompanied by vinegar treated ginger. Eaten with chopsticks or fingers.

Johann(es) Campanus (* um 1500 in Maaseik; † um 1574) war ein Theologe und Täufer.

Leben
Geboren in der Grafschaft Loon, die dem Bistum Lüttich unterstand, besuchte Campanus die Schule in Düsseldorf und bezog die Universität Köln. Als die Gedanken der Reformation nach Köln gelangten, trat er für diese ein und musste aufgrund der daraus entstehenden Streitigkeiten mit den altgläubigen Theologen die Universität verlassen. Er war zunächst Klostergeistlicher, dann evangelischer Pastor in Roermond und begab sich anschließend in das Herzogtum Jülich, wo er als Verfechter des neuen theologischen Gedankenguts auftrat. 1521 hielt er sich auf Einladung des Adligen Werner IV. von Palant auf dessen Burg in Wassenberg auf. Er erwarb sich soweit Ansehen, dass es durch Gönner ermöglicht wurde, im Sommer 1527 als Hofmeister junger Adliger nach Wittenberg zu gehen. Am 19. Dezember 1528 immatrikulierte er sich an der Universität Wittenberg, wo er theologische Studien bei Martin Luther und Justus Jonas betrieb.

Jedoch während des Studiums der Bibel fand er für sich selbst völlig andere Aussagen als jene seiner Lehrer. Georg Witzel, der ebenfalls nicht mit den Aussagen der Wittenberger Theologen übereinstimmte, bestärkte die schwärmerischen Vorstellungen von Campanus, der mit diesen Anfang Oktober 1529 auf dem Marburger Religionsgespräch an die Öffentlichkeit trat. Dabei forderte er seine Zulassung zu dem Gespräch mit dem Einwand, eine Auslegung der Einsetzungsworte im Abendmahl gefunden zu haben. Damit wollte er eine Verständigung zwischen Luther und Ulrich Zwingli herbeiführen. Zu diesem Ansinnen forderte er Luther zur Disputation auf. Jedoch wurde seine Zulassung abgelehnt.

Zurückgekehrt nach Wittenberg, versuchte er seine täuferischen Ideen immer herausfordernder zu verbreiten, so dass ihn Kurfürst Johann der Beständige von Sachsen für eine gewisse Zeit inhaftieren ließ. Kaum aus dem Gefängnis entlassen, setzte er sein Treiben fort und musste aufgrund einer erneut drohenden Verhaftung fliehen. Jedoch ließ er sich von seinem Standpunkt nicht mehr abbringen. Als der Kurfürst mit seinen Theologen und Räten in Torgau den herannahenden Reichstag zu Augsburg und die Confessio Augustana beriet, erschien er dort und legte seine Lehre den Räten vor. In diesem Zusammenhang forderte er Luther zu einer erneuten Disputation auf, was abermals abgelehnt wurde. Im Kurfürstentum Sachsen konnte er nicht weiter mit seinen Ideen vorankommen.

Deswegen begab er sich zunächst nach Braunschweig und kehrte zurück in das Herzogtum Jülich, wo sich um ihn zahlreiche Anhänger versammelten. In Wassenberg und Umgebung hatte sich die Gruppe der Wassenberger Prädikanten gebildet, die als Verfolgte den Schutz des oben schon erwähnten Drosten Werner von Palant genossen. Er verfasste dort 1532 über die Göttliche u. Hl. Schr., vor vielen Jahren verdunkelt u. durch unheilsame Lehre u. Lehrer aus Gottes Zulassung verfinstert, Restitution u. Besserung, die 160 Seiten umfasste, über die Lehre der Täufer, die 160 Seiten umfasste. Auf Haus Hall in Ratheim fand er Schutz bei dem Adligen Johann von Olmissen genannt Mülstroe († 1541) und seinem Sohn Heinrich († um 1574). In Münster beeinflusste er nicht unmaßgeblich das Täuferreich von Münster. Jedoch als er im Herzogtum Jülich durch die Ankündigung des Weltendes und das Aussterben der Landesbevölkerung an der Rur die Bevölkerung verängstigte, ließ ihn der Herzog von Jülich 1553 gefangensetzen. Nach mehr als 20-jähriger Haft soll er, geistig und körperlich zerrüttet, gestorben sein.

Werke
 Contra totum post apostolos mundum auch Wider die Lutherischen und alle Welt nach den Aposteln und derselben wunderbarliche und seltzame ungehewre Irrthumb. um 1531
 Göttlicher und heiliger Schrift vor vilen jaren verdunckelt und durch unheylsame Leer und Lerer aus Gottes Zulassung verfinstert Restrution und besserung durch den hochgelarten Johannem Campanum. 1532
 De eucharistia. um 1574

Sonstiges
 Ein zwischen Ratheim und Hilfarth gelegenes Wäldchen wurde jahrhundertelang im Volksmund an de Campanus-Eek (= an der Campanus-Eiche) genannt. Unter einer Eiche soll der Prediger hier heimlich Versammlungen für seine Anhänger abgehalten haben.

The enum type is much more complex in Perl 6 than in some other languages, and the details are found in its type description.
This short document will give a simple example of its use as is the usual practice in C-like languages.
Say we have a program that needs to write to various directories; we want a function that, given a directory name, tests it for (1) its existence and (2) whether it can be written to by the user of the program; this implies that there are three possible states from the user perspective: either you can write (CanWrite), or there is no directory (NoDir) or the directory exists, but you cannot write (NoWrite). The results of the test will determine what actions the program takes next.
# dir exists, can the program user write to it?
From Language/enumeration.pod6 at perl6/doc on GitHub, commit 1b138b3d.


The Ghostbusters Cadillac, based on the long-wheelbase ambulance version of the gorgeous yank-tank original. This model is to 1:24 scale, and is missing only a wailing siren and some oozing ectoplasm. At upgrade time, it could be improved by adding a set of flashing LEDs, and maybe a multi-voice sound chip.
Everyone's favourite peacekeeper, the star of Robocop. The movie franchise may have died a little in recent years, but it's still a popular subject. This one is to 1:6 scale, and comes on a nicely made piece of future-city paving.
Star Wars is a hardy perennial, and one that's been given yet another boost since the release of the recent anime series. The various 'walker' combat machines are still state-of-the-art on the model-making scene, and don't forget the AT-AT walkers from The Empire Strikes Back - we'll be showing off our post-war civilian version soon.
To the small screen now, with a Gerry Anderson TV series called Captain Scarlet - and flying these Angel Interceptor skycraft were the prettiest* pilots ever seen, the Harmony Angels. Just one thing - the Interceptor might look better on a more modern stand - how about perspex or steel?

Government Releases Family Planning Survey In Philippines
A government survey in the Philippines "found 73 percent of married women would use birth control if it were available, 22 percentage points higher than the 51 percent that did use such methods," Agence France-Presse reports. The country is facing a rapid population growth – "projected to reach 94 million this year, up by more than five million from the 2007 census count" – and the government has been "reluctant to fund family planning schemes" due to resistance from the Roman Catholic Church, according to AFP (1/14). The Manila Standard Today examines the ongoing debate in the Philippines over a reproductive health bill that "seeks to establish a national policy on reproductive health, family planning and population development to curb the population's 2.36-percent growth rate" (Herrera, 1/13).
Study Reveals Cost of 'Essential' Antibiotic In Africa
According to a Health Action International (HAI) survey of 93 countries, the price of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin in Africa is higher than in other regions of the world, Daily Nation/allAfrica.com reports. "Ciprofloxacin, which is classified by the World Health Organisation as an essential medicine, is widely used in treating diarrhoeal diseases, sexually transmitted infections and opportunistic infections in people living with [HIV/AIDS]," the newspaper writes. "HAI urged African governments to examine access to affordable essential medicines and pass policies that ensure patients benefit from lower prices," according to the newspaper (1/13). Business Daily/allAfrica.com examines several factors contributing to the high price of the antibiotic in Kenya (Mbogo, 1/13).

Who is Evan Emerson? This almost feels like one of those frustratingly addictive follow-the-clues marketing campaigns…. but for what, I don't know.
First, a friend in Miami sent me [a link to] an eight-minute lo-tech short on the disappearance of news as we know it. The conceit is that Amazon and Google join forces to form a super-tech-engine that filters news based on databasing and recommendations (think your iTunes favorites list meets Amazon meets Google News) that ends up killing the New York Times.
Shades of the alternate-reality gaming fans' suspicions, there!
News of this investigation was passed on to me by "Evan Emerson" — who may or may not be a rogue AI bot sent back in time from 2016… the year EPIC went mad.
I would like to create subtitles for spanish and portuguese. I have tons of frends saying "in seems interesting but it is so fast and I can not understand…". What do you think about the idea?
Personally it's a very interesting video because I'm working in designing an intelligent website. The idea of computers that know more about ourselves than police is very conflictive but as you said "people wanted it". People goes back to Amazon because it is adapted to their taste. The thing is not so far the "intelligence" of websites than thins king of technology can be reached by just some enterprises. For example Amazon or New York Times (yes, it won't dessapear because it is the first newspaper that used AI).

Buffalo, NY - Thanks to the efforts of 12 golfers with lots of stamina, the fifth annual Chip In Challenge for Carly's Club raised more than $60,000 on August 31, 2009, for pediatric research and patient care at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Chip In golfers attempted 100 consecutive holes of golf in the single-day event at Westwood Country Club in Williamsville, NY.
Chip In was founded in 2005 by Stuart Scheff, who first attempted 100 holes as a solo challenge to raise funds for Carly's Club. In the years since, Scheff has single-handedly raised more than $60,000. This year, however, was his last chance to swing the club as a Chip In golfer as he prepares to retire as organizer of the event.
"For five years, Stuart's vision, generosity and commitment have helped raise critical funds for childhood cancer patients and research at Roswell Park," said Steve LoVullo, Chip In participant and 2009 co-chair. "His dedication is inspiring to each Chip In golfer as we strive to do our part for Carly's Club."
Scheff's fellow golfers this year included Carly's Club member and cancer survivor Sean McLean, who took the 100-hole challenge for the second year in a row. Since its inception, Chip In has raised more than $400,000 for Carly's Club.
Carly's Club for Kids & Cancer Research at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center offers support programs to make life more manageable for children diagnosed with cancer and their families, and raises funds for pediatric cancer research seeking cures. Carly's Club is managed by the Roswell Park Alliance Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Currently over 260 pediatric cancer patients and their families are served each year through Carly's Club programming. For more information, visit Carlys Club or call 716-845-8788.


A Salute to Veterans ceremony brought hundreds of retired and active members of the U.S. Military to the USS Lexington Museum on the Bay in Corpus Christi on Veterans Day, Nov. 11.
All military were granted free admission for the day, which included a visit and remarks by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz. The 2 p.m. ceremony honored all branches of the military for their service to nation.
Among veterans attending were two retirees who were stationed at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Joseph Catenazzo and Bob Batterson, both 96 years old, met for the first time at the Saturday ceremony in Corpus Christi. Batterson is a regular volunteer on the USS Lexington.
The annual ceremony includes the sliding of a wreath into the water in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives during World War I.
Observed each year on Nov. 11, Veterans Day commemorates the end of the First World War. The armistice ending hostilities between Germany and the allied nations, including the United States, was signed at 11 a.m. (French time) on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 in a railway carriage in the Forest of Compiegne, located about 37 miles north of Paris.


Venture capital and early-stage tech investments may be harder to come by, but M&A exits across the mobile and online industry are still heating up, investment bank Berkery Noyes reported Tuesday.
The overall number of deals in 2016 ticked up 1% from the year before, while the aggregate value of those transactions jumped 12% year over year.
That discrepancy comes from a couple of large deals, like Microsoft paying $26 billion for LinkedIn and the Chinese company Tencent scooping up mobile game publisher Supercell for $8.6 billion, said Vineet Asthana, Berkery Noyes' managing director of online media and tech investments.
Those big deals absorb a lot of attention, but Asthana said he was particularly impressed by the steady growth and interest in mid-market tech and data companies.
Companies that once made investments to gather data now find themselves with an overabundance, and are snapping up analytics shops.
"What has become useful are these machine-learning algorithms and someone who can decipher the data in a logical way," Asthana said.
Despite a mostly sunny forecast, some uncertainty threatens to undercut tech M&A.
"From an entrepreneurial standpoint, there's a concern the market is at its peak," Asthana said.
The concern isn't due to weakness in the market so much as a confused, muddled future.
And while the future is murky, history is clear.

What's In Bloom | Downy Rattlesnake Plantain
Downy Rattlesnake Plantain (Goodyera pubescens) is an evergreen woodland orchid native to the eastern half of the United States and Canada.
Has beautiful, ground-level leaves with unique white veining.
Got its common name from its rattlesnake skin-like leaf pattern, its leaf arrangement similar to unrelated plantains, and its down-covered flower stalk.
Downy Rattlesnake Plantain (Goodyera pubescens) is a woodland orchid native to the eastern half of the United States and Canada. It has evergreen, ovate, blue-green leaves with a central white stripe and a complex-looking network of white veins. Leaves can grow up to 3 inches long, and form a basal rosette low to the ground. After becoming established, a leafless, down-covered stalk rises up to 20 inches from the rosette's center for 3-4 weeks between July and mid-September. 30-50 tiny, whitish flowers form a cylindrical raceme on the upper quarter of the flower stalk. Each flower is up to ¼ inch long, slightly hairy, and 3-petaled, with a sac-like lower lip and light-green sepals. Flowers are followed by erect, ovoid fruit capsules; seedheads may persist to the following season. After going to seed, the plant's rhizome forms 2-3 clonal offsets before dying. It prefers to grow in part- to full-shade, dry- to average-soils.
Downy Rattlesnake Plantain got its common name because its white leaf markings resemble the skin of some rattlesnakes, its leaf rosette is similar to the leaf arrangement on some unrelated plantains, and the plant, particularly its flower stalks, is covered in down.
Historically, the leaves were used to make an appetite-improving tea, which also helped with colds and kidney ailments.
Unfortunately, it has been overharvested for use in terraria due to its unique leaf patterns. This practice is highly unsustainable and can decimate local populations.
Benefits to biodiversity | Downy Rattlesnake Plantain is cross-pollinated by bumblebees and green metallic bees.

Founding Partner, Fifty Years. Co-founder, Impact.tech. Founder, Amicus. Y Combinator alum. Forbes 30 Under 30 for Social Entrepreneurship.
Much like the costs of sequencing the human genome,1 the cost of founding a biotech startup is dropping precipitously.2 If current trends continue, biotech companies will soon be founded in garages, funded off their founders' credit cards.
The exact same trend that happened in software over the last decade and happened in hardware over the last 5 years or so is happening in biotech now. A smart software developer can build and launch a web or mobile app and get paying customers for under $2,000. The same will soon be true for biotechnology.
Here are a number of trends that are fueling the steep drop in the costs of founding a biotech startup.
1) Biohacking spaces & shared wet labs.
Yesterday Forbes published a piece on "The Billion Dollar Startup Club". As more attention is paid to the world of entrepreneurship and more and more people are aspiring to start their own companies, there's a disturbing trend developing of people deciding to found a company simply to get rich.
More and more, I hear the question "what do you hope to achieve by founding X" answered with "we want to make X a billion dollar company". That's often followed by some mention of "disruption" or "innovation" or even "impact", but the core purpose of these founders is clear – to make boatloads of money. Aside from the fact that there's already an industry for those primarily interested in accumulating wealth, that's a recipe for startup disaster.
We all understand the absurdity of that old adage "sleep is for the weak". That attitude has been put to rest by a bevy of studies empirically showing that sleep in fact makes you smarter, stronger, and more creative. But when it comes to extended rest and relaxation, there still exists a sort of taboo.
I recently got back from a five day holiday vacation to the Puerto Rican island of Culebra, planned last minute because I felt dangerously close to burning out. Every time I talked to anyone about the trip, I included the disclaimer "it's only my third break since Amicus was founded". Every time. It was only once I was lying on a beach that I realized what I was doing: I was making excuses for taking a break because I felt guilty. To my teammates, to my friends, to fellow entrepreneurs. I might as well have been saying "vacations are for the weak".
We all know that exercise is good for one's brain and body. The benefits are well documented. That didn't stop me from making a decision many entrepreneurs make – I decided I no longer had time for it after starting Amicus. In the time it would take to head to the gym, I could get through a dozen emails, mockup a new feature, or talk to some customers. So I spent more time working and less time working out.
Soon I was having trouble dealing with the stress of Amicus' ups and downs. I had trouble sleeping and even started snapping at my teammates. It got bad enough that I turned to mentors for advice on what to do. I was surprised by the feedback I kept hearing: "exercise more". So I started irregularly hitting the gym. I didn't make a real lifestyle change, however, until Amicus got accepted into Y Combinator last year.
Entrepreneurs have an inherent distaste for entrenchment, and seek to disrupt it wherever it exists. Because of the history of Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs are typically focused on market entrenchment. The organizations being disrupted are market goliaths – the Microsofts, IBMs, and Oracles – that use their connections, capital, and incumbency to stifle innovation. In our world, those that bring about this disruption are heralded as innovators and held up as exemplars.

Washington Post: At the Supreme Court, a potential catastrophe for women's rights
By Sandra Fluke on March 24, 2014
Sandra Fluke is a social justice attorney who testified before Congress in 2012 about the importance of contraception coverage in health insurance. She is currently running for the California State Senate. This article was originally published in the Washington Post.
A pair of potentially catastrophic cases will be argued before the Supreme Court on Tuesday. These cases are brought by privately held, for-profit corporations that are arguing their religious convictions should preclude them from offering employees the health insurance required by law. Specifically, these private employers don't want to allow their employees' insurance to cover some forms of birth control because, contrary to medical and scientific evidence, they believe some birth control causes abortions.
Corporations are not people. Corporations cannot have religious views. If religious rights are extended to corporations, it puts us on a slippery slope where any private company could argue that religious beliefs prevent it from offering vital employee protections.
Unlike my congressional testimony in 2012, which was about Georgetown University — a Catholic-affiliated university — refusing to include contraception in student insurance because it was a religiously affiliated school, the institutions arguing before the Supreme Court are not houses of worship or religious non-profits. The Affordable Care Act already includes special arrangements for those types of organizations. These are private, for-profit corporations — a craft store and a cabinet manufacturer — that want to be excluded from health insurance and employment laws because of bosses' personal views.
Laws that include religious protection have never given corporations the right to have religious views, and it would be a terrible idea to make such an enormous change to our legal precedent now. Our laws protect individuals' private religious beliefs, but when you cross over into the public sphere to become a corporation and make a profit off of the public, you must abide by the public's laws.
Depending on the court's rulings, the cases' outcomes could deny millions of women coverage of any or all forms of birth control, limiting women's ability to control their reproductive health, plan their pregnancies and manage their lives. As I testified, women also need birth control for many other medical reasons, including relief of painful health problems like endometriosis.
But allowing private employers to excuse themselves from health insurance and employment law could go much further than just contraception and reproductive health services. Allowing any private employer to dictate which laws fit inside its religious beliefs could upset the necessary balance of both religious liberty and employee health and safety laws. Depending on the exact ruling, any for-profit corporation could cut off its employees' insurance coverage for blood transfusions, vaccinations or HIV treatment — all of which some Americans have religious objections to. Any critical health coverage the boss doesn't agree with could be eliminated.
Moreover, we cannot pick and choose which religious beliefs should be allowed to overrule laws the rest of the public must follow. Although this country predominantly descends from a Judeo-Christian tradition, our valuable religious protection laws ensure that anyone is free to practice any religion they want, including religions whose belief systems and practices many of us would disagree with vehemently. In fact, far-ranging beliefs that are not associated with any organized religion could be used to justify a corporation's practices as well. All sets of beliefs should be treated equally, but allowing any belief to override insurance law opens the door to many more extreme beliefs being able to do the same.
We are at risk of giving any person or group with a religious qualm the legal ability to refuse to comply with numerous critical employment laws, not just those related to health insurance. Americans could ultimately lose protections against employment discrimination, guarantees of equal pay and on and on. Religious objections have been raised to these types of laws before, but until now we have maintained the right balance. This country has always valiantly protected the rights of citizens to practice whatever religion they want in their personal lives, but we have also ensured that employees, students, customers and the public are also protected in the public sphere.
Extreme rulings in these cases could directly endanger health-care access for millions of women and put a bedrock constitutional protection at risk. We must fight back and speak out, and hope the Supreme Court rules in favor of the people.

'Extra dangerous' Everton send warning to rivals as fans inspire Blues to win over Chelsea
Everton welcomed fans back to Goodison Park since March and their influence was undeniable in the 1-0 win over Chelsea
Phil KirkbrideEverton FC Correspondent
As another new Everton era begins after the sacking of Rafa Benitez, sign up for the Blues email bulletin for all the latest news on the next manager
Frank Lampard described a Big Dunc-inspired Everton coming into this game last season as "extra dangerous".
He may reflect that they were exactly the same again this time around.
There wasn't that same wave of emotional power surging through Goodison tonight but, tellingly, there was at least some.
And it made such a difference. The Blues may not have been quite as rip-roaring as they were 12 months ago but they were too much for a bang in form Chelsea to handle.

There was raw emotion. Not to the same, deafening, decibel-smashing levels of last December, but enough.
Enough to inspire a group of players who had been struggling for a spark in recent weeks, searching for form after a blistering start to the season had slowed down.
The near-2,000 fans made more noise than the sum of their parts, they visibly inspired the players, they harangued the referee for a series of poor decisions, they jeered Chelsea players taking corners, they appealed, they went through the Everton songbook....they were there.
They were put through the wringer a bit, as Chelsea struck the post twice and pushed for an equaliser late on, but they had the thrill of watching their side again in person.
Who was your MOTM today? Let us know here
The reception they afforded the players before the game sent a tingle down the spine. At full-time it sent a jolt of joy down it.
Football felt infinitely better than it has done at any point since March. And that was before kick-off. It felt euphoric at full-time after this 1-0 win. A big win at that.
Imagine what it would have been like with nearly 40,000 inside here? When that day comes, the Old Lady will be shaken to the soles of her boots. The opposition that day will crumble. It'll be one of the great Goodison days. There will be tears.
Here, under the lights, this first, small step on the long road to such glorious normality helped bring about a committed, in-your-face, battling performance from Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Everton player ratings against Chelsea as Gylfi Sigurdsson good but another man stars
Everton confirm £113m transfer spend as 'impossible mission' to sign James Rodriguez explained
This was an old-school Everton performance in a tip of the hat to a different time, before all of this madness.
The odds – form, Chelsea's scoring streak, Everton's streaky defence and injuries – were stacked against the Blues but they found a performance and, make no mistake, those 2,000 in the Gwladys Street and Top Balcony played their part.
For Ben Godfrey, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Allan, this was their first time playing in front of a crowd of Evertonians. They had to have enjoyed it. They certainly played like they were.
There may not have been a jacket-less Ferguson hugging ball-boys and charging down the touchline, as there was in the corresponding fixture last term, but the result was still significant and the fans, albeit so much smaller, were an undeniable factor.

Spread across the globe – These 6 luxury hotels deliver a unique futuristic experience
by SCMP
Ultra-modern amenities and revolutionary architecture of these Berlin, Dubai, Maldives, Bali, Macau and Norway hotels offer cutting-edge accommodation
If iconic hotels such as Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Singapore's Marina Bay Sands are any indication, the accommodation in which you stay is integral to the travel experience.
No longer just a place for respite, hotels are transforming into distinguished landmarks and tourist hubs in their own right, and visionary developers are taking it to the next level.
For those seeking a special sojourn, look no further than the latest cutting-edge accommodation that jumps light years ahead to offer a glimpse of a future metropolis.
Boasting architectural feats and slick innovations, these revolutionary hotels are a sight to behold and are set to become architectural icons.
The ring-shaped hotel, Svart, which will open next to the waters of Norway's Svartisen glacier in 2021.
Svart, Norway
Forget special requests for ocean-facing views.
Come 2021, travellers in Norway's northern region will be able to enjoy spectacular 360-degree panoramas of artic nature and frosty glaciers – as well as the magnificent Northern Lights.
Circular in shape and supported by wooden poles that lift the novel structure above the pristine waters of the Svartisen glacier, just above the Arctic Circle, Svart boasts groundbreaking design and sustainability.
As the world's first energy positive hotel, Svart will harvest solar energy to construct the building and sustain its operations, consuming 85 per cent less energy than other modern hotels.
Blurring the boundaries between the property and its surroundings, expansive glass windows that enclose the ring-shaped hotel allow for unobstructed views of resplendent auroras on winter nights and the midnight sun during summer.
As for activities, Svart will offer glacier hikes, Northern Lights expeditions, yoga and fishing.
The US$1.1 billion Morpheus hotel in Macau – the world's first free-form exoskeleton high rise – opened in June.
Morpheus, Macau
Having just swung open its doors in June, Morpheus gives Macau's City of Dreams a brilliant new sheen.
Housing more than 770 rooms and sky villas, the US$1.1 billion contemporary masterpiece is the world's first free-form exoskeleton high-rise, with its smooth, curved lines inspired by China's traditional jade carving.
Seemingly defying the need for supporting walls and pillars, Morpheus' uninterrupted sweeping spaces are made compelling by the sculptural geometric forms.

Journeying through the hotel feels like walking through a kaleidoscope of rhombus patterns, made even more impressive by the panoramas of Macau through the glass.
Here, time feels infinite, with art galleries, sky pools and award-winning restaurants collectively providing a transcendent experience that guests will never want to check out from.
The villas of the Alila Villas Uluwatu in Bali have been built using sustainable, natural products, such as lava rock for the roofs and bamboo ceilings.
Alila Villas Uluwatu, Bali
Sustainability is the future and Alila Villas Uluwatu on the island of Bali, in Indonesia, fully understands this.
Engineered to seamlessly blend in with its natural surroundings, the EarthCheck Gold-certified villas are designed based on an environmentally sustainable framework.
The forward-thinking architecture uses special lava rock roofs and bamboo ceilings to allow the sea breeze to flow through the open-plan complex, keeping energy consumption to a minimum, while water conservation efforts reduce wastage.
Perched atop limestone cliffs with dramatic vistas of the Indian Ocean, one of the resort's most impressive highlights is the sunset cabana which hangs suspended over the cliff's edge.
Its stunning backdrop makes it a popular choice for intimate weddings and special occasions, if not for a spot of afternoon tea or an evening cocktail.
The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, in the Maldives, features underwater suites submerged five metres beneath the waves.
The Muraka at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, Maldives

The ME by Meliá Dubai will open inside The Opus in the United Arab Emirates in 2019, which was conceived by the late architect Zaha Hadid, who was known for her neo-futuristic designs.
ME by Meliá Dubai
Slated to open in the United Arab Emirates in the fourth quarter of 2019, the luxury hotel ME by Meliá Dubai will form part of The Opus, the newest Dubai architectural marvel to decorate its skyline.
Conceived by the late architect Zaha Hadid, who was renowned for her neo-futuristic designs, The Opus' abstract shape emulates that of a cube, featuring a free-form void at the building's core that divides it into two towers, but remains united by a steel and glass bridge.
Inside, Hadid's signature style continues on full display, with the striking furnishings either designed or hand-picked by the architect herself.
Featuring swanky suites, private roof terraces and Michelin-starred restaurants across 19 floors, ME by Meliá Dubai will offer state-of-the-art amenities, including an interactive media centre fitted in each room to create a digitally integrated environment.
The colourful interior of the Nhow Berlin hotel is housed in a warehouselike structure with a brownstone facade.
Nhow Berlin, Germany
Who says the space age has to be all silver and sleek?
The modern Nhow Berlin hotel oozes colour and style, although its warehouselike structure and brownstone facade might disguise it well.
Still, the protruding cantilever with a mirrored aluminium underside that sits atop the building hints at the music and lifestyle hotel's zany character.
Hôtel Lutetia reopens in Paris after €200 million makeover
With 304 rooms, from junior suites to luxury penthouses – all with a psychedelic look – Nhow Berlin offers a stimulating environment for creative cats to get inspired.
Whether you are a musician, fashion aficionado or a lover of the modernistic scene, the German hotel is decorated with designer furnishings and fully equipped with every trendy artist's needs (including a Nespresso machine and ample USB ports).
When you have had a stroke of musical genius, have room service send up a guitar or keyboard for you to practise on.

Glossary page added
When I sent live tweets from the Joan Jett show last Wednesday, I realized that I like to use a lot of shorthand for song titles and various things in the Jett universe. For example, I would rather type JJBH instead of spelling out Joan Jett and the Blackhearts every single time.
Abbreviations like JJBH are common in the fandom for those of us who have been around awhile, but brand-new Joan Jett fans would probably not know what some of our terms mean. Imagine the "WTF?" moment that a casual Twitter user would experience if they had stumbled across a tweet from me that just said, "touch me." And then imagine what would happen if they could find me after that. <Shudder>
Rather than make newbies figure everything out on their own, I thought it would be helpful to define some of the acronyms, abbreviations, and slang we use in one place. So, I added a glossary page to the site. Here's the link (there's also a tab for it at the top):
https://born2bjetthead.wordpress.com/glossary/
I started with the terms that I use often. Please check my work and make additions or corrections as necessary in the comments. Thanks!

Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence
byAjay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, Avi Goldfarb
"What does AI mean for your business? Read this book to find out." -- Hal Varian, Chief Economist, Google
Artificial intelligence does the seemingly impossible, magically bringing machines to life--driving cars, trading stocks, and teaching children. But facing the sea change that AI will bring can be paralyzing. How should companies set strategies, governments design policies, and people plan their lives for a world so different from what we know? In the face of such uncertainty, many analysts either cower in fear or predict an impossibly sunny future.
But inPrediction Machines, three eminent economists recast the rise of AI as a drop in the cost of prediction. With this single, masterful stroke, they lift the curtain on the AI-is-magic hype and show how basic tools from economics provide clarity about the AI revolution and a basis for action by CEOs, managers, policy makers, investors, and entrepreneurs.
When AI is framed as cheap prediction, its extraordinary potential becomes clear:
Prediction is at the heart of making decisions under uncertainty. Our businesses and personal lives are riddled with such decisions.
Prediction tools increase productivity--operating machines, handling documents, communicating with customers.
Uncertainty constrains strategy. Better prediction creates opportunities for new business structures and strategies to compete.
Penetrating, fun, and always insightful and practical,Prediction Machinesfollows its inescapable logic to explain how to navigate the changes on the horizon. The impact of AI will be profound, but the economic framework for understanding it is surprisingly simple.

Q: How to launch another app in background and stay in main app (Android Java) I have searched and found many related questions:
How to leave the current app and launch an activity of another app?
Launch another application INSIDE an application in Android
I have this code that works to just launch the app:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
PackageManager managerclock = getPackageManager();
intent = managerclock.getLaunchIntentForPackage("app_package_name");
startActivity(intent);

But they all OPEN the launched app, bringing it to the foreground, and sending my main (launcher) app to the background.
I want to launch the new one, but keep it in the background, and stay in the main one. Any tips?
NOTE: Second, I would like to press a button on the first/welcome screen of the launched app (which has a specific label, that i know), all while keeping it in the background and staying on the main app. Is that possible?

We often see this problem present itself n the workplace where a person in a position of authority abuses their power and takes advantage of a subordinate, such as in the article attached, regarding the ex- major of San Diego. The problem is not limited to corporate America but has also been evidenced in our military as well as the Catholic church. The Principle of Dignity of the Human Person is the Justice principle most appropriate for reviewing sexual harassment. Sexual harassment demeans and is not respectful to the person that is being harassed.
In this paper I will examine the moral question, economic and political impact and review the church's opinion. As mentioned above, if you were to ask someone if it is ever acceptable to then does this problem exist? In a survey done recently by the American Association of University Women it was found that 83% of women and 78% of men had been sexually harassed at sometime. Ninety percent of the time the harassment was done by another student, but 10% of the time it was by a teacher. Those that are the perpetrators of the harassment think that it is funny to do so while others may not realize that they have gone to far.
It may be that the person is seeking out date and have pushed to far. In the workplace it most often occurs by a person in a position of authority who uses their authority to get something they want or desire. Hollywood movies, TV shows, and music videos often depict this behavior as well. Recent examples in movies are "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Proposal", and " Disclosure". Society is heavily influenced by the media and while morally it may be wrong and people know its wrong, the rationalization of the act becomes easier when they see the behavior constantly in the images around them.
Sexual harassment has a direct impact on economic and societal issues around he globe, including our country, state, city, neighborhoods, etc. The U. S. Department of Labor estimates that the average Fortune 500 Company loses on average $67 million per year in absenteeism, low production and employee turnover as a result of sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment has skyrocketed social justice By stitches workforce. The threat of women in positions of power and of working close to men has caused static in the workplace. The impact has had both a Physical and Mental impact on the victim.
Physically a victim may lose or gain weight, become unable to leper well or experience headaches. Mentally a victim may experience depression, stress or have other mental health problems. Treating these conditions leads to an increase in health care costs and requires professionals to assist with the treatment. With these allegations of harassment the workplace suffers through a loss of employee morale, turnover, loss of productivity and increased absenteeism, which represent an economic cost to the employer. The societal impact can put stress on relationships for the victim.
There also seems to be a backlash against victims, such s scrutinizing of their public life, defamation of character and retaliation. Why does this blaming of the victim occur? Most likely it stems from the shock and disbelief that a trusted person would actually do the things that the victim accuses them of doing. Sexual harassment cases have had and continue to have an impact on both legal and political dynamics of society. In 2011 the EEOC registered 11,300 charges of sexual harassment of which 1,400 were settled for a total of $52 million.
There have been major cases as well, for example in 2011 UBS Financial Services was ordered to ay more than $10 million to a former sales assistant that had alleged to have been harassed by a supervisor. The Catholic church has also had scandals of clergy sexual abuse, the church has spent approximately $2. 5 billion in settling these cases. In March 2013 the Archdiocese of Los Angels announced a nearly $700 million settlement. In Minnesota we have not been immune from these allegations and are also in the process of investigating instances of abuse. Politically, sexual allegations are commonly used to try and influence a political race.
Herman Cain as at one point the Republican frontrunner's for the 2012 Presidential race before an allegation from years before was uncovered and he was forced to drop out of the race. Bob Filler, who was the mayor of San Diego was forced to resign this past Summer after 3 women came forward with allegations of false imprisonment and battery. Original Sin has weakened us and as you can see, no one in our society is immune from possible sexual wrongdoing. The church teaches us that the Foundational Social Justice Is Human Dignity. Human Dignity states that everyone deserves respect as a member of the human Emily.
Sexually harassing another human being breaks this first Social Justice. We also learn in ICC 1944-1947 that every human being has moral and cultural rights and has the right to respect his or her person, again sexually harassing is not respecting another human. Someone that sexually harasses another human being also not following the Cardinal Virtues of Prudence ( ICC, 1806), Fortitude (ICC, 1808) or Temperance (ICC, 1809). It is my belief that through the Social Justice of Dignity and the Cardinal Virtues that the Church Clearly does not condone sexual harassment.

We spend a lot of money and time on the firearms that we carry, however magazines are a big consideration as well. There are a few things that should be addressed about magazines; the first I would like to discuss is the myth about a fully loaded magazine wearing out the spring. Magazines from a few decades ago did have some spring problems and leaving a magazine fully loaded could potentially wear a spring out, however in recent years the technology for magazine springs has substantially improved.
In modern firearms it is not an issue to leave a magazine fully loaded and this will not wear out the spring. What does wear magazine springs out is constant loading and unloading of the magazines. So if you are firing a ton you may have to replace the springs down the road. Another issue to talk about is when and how often to clean magazines. I typically suggest pulling the magazine apart and cleaning them about once every six months, especially if it is a firearm you are carrying on a regular basis.
fine to put a little life back in the springs as well. However, don't over-stretch the springs as this will negatively affect reliability as well.
plus one can utilize the factory spring in some cases. It is always advisable to go out and function test any modification before carrying it for personal protection. I usually recommend that you test fire with the magazine full to start, then load two or three rounds and ensure that they feed properly. I typically do this four or five times before I carry that particular magazine with my personal protection firearm.


The USD is losing power due to the economic reports in the US. The support rests at 1.09660 with resistance at 1.10060 which both lines are below the weekly pivot point at 1.10460. The EMA of 10 is moving with bearish bias and it is located below the EMA of 100. The RSI is moving below the 50 area, the Stochastic is moving horizontally in low ranges and the MACD indicator is in negative territory. Short positions are recommended targeting 1.0950.

Cmentarz rzymskokatolicki w Potoku Górnym – nekropolia rzymskokatolicka w Potoku Górnym, utworzona na potrzeby miejscowej ludności katolickiej w latach 30. XIX w., użytkowany do dzisiaj.

Historia i opis
Cmentarz wytyczony został pomiędzy 1830 a 1845 rokiem jako kontynuacja cmentarza przy kościele parafialnym. Ostatni raz teren został powiększony w 1871 r.

Na początku lat 90. XX wieku na terenie nekropolii znajdowało się 15 kamiennych nagrobków sprzed 1945 r., w tym 13 XIX-wiecznych. Są to krzyże łacińskie i kolumny na prostopadłościennych postumentach dekorowanych wielostopniowymi gzymsami uskokowymi, trójkątnymi tympanonami i ornamentami roślinnymi. Wśród współczesnych nagrobków dominują lastrikowe i betonowe stelle z krzyżami.

Zwraca uwagę nagrobek w postaci drewnianej kapliczki słupowej z przedstawieniem Chrystusa Frasobliwego, a także współczesne groby księży: Sługi Bożego ks. Błażeja Nowosada, miejscowego proboszcza zamordowanego w 1943 przez niemiecką żandarmerię oraz jego następcy ks. Ludwika Bartłomieja Olechowskiego, zamordowanego w 1945. Na cmentarzu rosną tuje kolumnowe i świerki.

Van Hollen, Padilla, Nadler, and Colleagues Urge Labor Department, Biden Administration to Improve Access to Paid Time Off for Vaccinations
Letter comes as voluntary tax credits to expire today, making it harder for businesses to offer paid time off
Today, U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) joined U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and U.S. Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) in sending a letter to Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Martin Walsh and White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients, urging them to work with Congress, companies, and governments to ensure that employees are offered pay for any time off needed to get vaccinated and recover from any side-effects of vaccination. Voluntary payroll tax credits for employers with fewer than 500 employees will expire today, September 30, 2021, effectively making it harder for businesses to offer paid time off for employees seeking their first vaccinations or vaccine booster shots.
As the Delta variant of COVID-19 continues to infect Americans across the country, it is more important than ever to remove barriers to vaccination in order to put the pandemic behind us. Experts have suggested that one of the most effective incentives for vaccination is paid time off. In their letter, the Senators urge the administration do everything it can to ensure employers offer paid leave for working people in this country to get vaccinated.
"Millions of hourly shift workers are financially unable to take unpaid time off for vaccination and recovery. These workers are disproportionately from low-income, minority, and immigrant communities. According to a recent survey, nearly 20% of workers have not been vaccinated because they are afraid of missing work or are too busy." said the lawmakers. "In June, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 65% of workers were encouraged by their employer to get a COVID-19 vaccine, but only 50% received paid time off to get the shot or recover from side effects. Workers in the group that received paid time off were more likely to be vaccinated."
"We urge the Department of Labor (DOL) to identify the parts of federal law for which DOL has enforcement authority, if any, that would provide for time off for a COVID-19 vaccination. In the upcoming OSHA ETS, we ask that you clarify details on the requirement for paid time off to be given for an employee to receive the vaccine and to recover from any side effects," the lawmakers continued.
In addition to Senators Van Hollen and Padilla and Representative Nadler, the letter was signed by Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Christopher Murphy (D-Conn.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), and Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), and more than 20 Members of the House of Representatives.
Full text of the letter is available here and below:
Dear Secretary Walsh and Mr. Zients,
As the Biden Administration's COVID-19 task force executes its comprehensive national strategy to combat COVID-19, we write to urge you to continue to work with Congress, private companies, states, territories, Indian Tribes, and other jurisdictions to ensure that employees are offered full pay for any time off needed to get vaccinated, and we ask that you respond by identifying any statutory changes necessary to help you meet this goal.
Millions of hourly shift workers are financially unable to take unpaid time off for vaccination and recovery. These workers are disproportionately from low-income, minority, and immigrant communities. According to a recent survey, nearly 20% of workers have not been vaccinated because they are afraid of missing work or are too busy. That proportion increased to 26% for Black workers and 40% for Hispanic workers. In June, the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 65% of workers were encouraged by their employer to get a COVID-19 vaccine, but only 50% received paid time off to get the shot or recover from side effects. Workers in the group that received paid time off were more likely to be vaccinated.
As infections with the Delta variant rise across the country, it is more important than ever for the administration to use its full authority to increase our nation's COVID-19 vaccination rate and put the pandemic behind us. Likewise, it is vital that the federal government continues to support paid leave for working people in this country to get vaccinated and recover from any after-effects of vaccination. While we are grateful that President Biden has called on all employers to provide paid time off for employees to get vaccinated, more must be done.
We urge the Department of Labor (DOL) to identify the parts of federal law for which DOL has enforcement authority, if any, that would provide for time off for a COVID-19 vaccination. In the upcoming OSHA ETS, we ask that you clarify details on the requirement for paid time off to be given for an employee to receive the vaccine and to recover from any side effects. Finally, we ask that you report back on what action from Congress would be necessary to help further these goals.
We look forward to working together to combat the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you in advance for your attention to this important matter, and we look forward to your response.
