text:
Rit är en religiös form av ceremoni. En del riter i Sverige, som har kristen tradition, kan till exempel vara vigsel, dop, konfirmation mm. En fastställd ordning för en förrättning, till exempel en gudstjänst, kallas ritual. Många kulturer har övergångsriter, som utförs när ett livsskede förmodas gå över till ett annat.

Riter inom liturgi och kyrkorätt
Med begreppet rit avses inom liturgivetenskapen och katolsk kyrkorätt även något väsentligt vidare, nämligen en historiskt konstituerad liturgisk tradition, vanligtvis kopplad till något av de patriarkala sätena. I denna bemärkelse är det som man talar om västliga eller latinska riter å ena sidan (och därmed om västliga kyrkor) och om grekisk, östlig eller orientalisk rit å den andra (och därmed om de östliga kyrkorna). I Katolska Kyrkan återfinns såväl de latinska riterna (varav den romerska är i särklass störst) som olika grekiska/östliga riter. I de ortodoxa kyrkorna finns endast olika östliga riter.

Bägge ritfamiljerna inrymmer varianter: Inom de latinska riterna finns förutom den romerska riten, olika riter som antingen är knutna till ett enskilt stift (eller annat geografiskt område), till exempel ambrosiansk och mozarabisk rit, eller utmärker en viss religiös orden (till exempel dominikanordens eller kartusianordens respektive rit). Inom den östliga ritfamiljen finns också flera riter, till exempel kaldeisk rit, bysantinsk rit, koptisk rit och syro-malabarisk rit.

Your predictions for this NationsCup!
Here we go! The groups have been published last week-end and matches are being scheduled right now!
This thread is meant for you to tell us about your predictions! Who do you think will achieve the playoffs? Who would you like to see on the podium? Let us know!
Aside the teams, we will also pay attention to players and their qualities (who appeared as being the best sniper, CTF attacker, best bomber, and so on) so feel free to let us know your thoughts on them as well!
Any trash or bad jokes will be moderated so please be nice.
Re: Your predictions for this NationsCup!
I think it'll be hard to beat the reigning champions france, and i hope Australia will win.
Most likely scenario will be France vs Italy in semi/finals which will determine the cup champ.
Hopefully other nations will prove me wrong and surprise me. Personally Group C and D seem like the most exiting ones, feels like every nation has a good shot at going through to the playoffs.
Im holding out to shock the nations with a UK Vs Venezuela Final.... fingers crossed!

Tiempo de lobos és una pel·lícula mexicana del 1981 dirigida per Alberto Isaac Ahumada. Fou l'única pel·lícula dirigida pe Isaac durant el mandat del president José López Portillo.

Repartiment
En un poble agricultor de Mèxic Abraham exigeix al cacic local que el Partit compleixi les seves promeses. Alhora, els seus dos fills tornen de treballar com a bracers dels Estats Units i es dediquen a divertir-se i es neguen a ajudar-lo en les tasques del camp. En un rampell d'ira Abraham destrueix propaganda del PRI i fereix un dels guardaespatlles del candidat a president municipal, que és el cacic local. Com a represàlia, aquest inicia maniobres legals i li pren les terres. Això obliga Abraham a emigrar a la ciutat, on pateix l'atur i la deshumanització.

Producció
Amb l'arribada a la presidència de Mèxic de José López Portillo el 1976, es va constituir una comissió de seguiment televisiu, la RTC, presidida per Margarita López Portillo, germana del president, que va abordar una política conservadorista i va reduir els pressupostos assignats a les produccions cinematogràfiques. Directors com Alberto Isaac, Felipe Cazals, Jorge Fons o José Estrada van experimentar dificultats a partir d'aquest moment. Isaac va escriure ressenyes per a la revista Esto, que va provocar que tots els Isaacs de Mèxic estiguessin a la llista negra de la indústria cinematogràfica durant el mandat de Margarita López Portillo i es van avortar dos projectes cinematogràfics.

Durant aquest difícil mandat de sis anys, Isaac només va poder dirigir aquest llargmetratge.

Premis
En la XXV edició dels Premis Ariel va rebre dos premis de set nominacions

This is an excerpt from the late beginning of the story I wrote for my sister for her birthday. I didn't put in chapters in this novella, so it's more like a super-long short story. Please let me know what you think of this excerpt in the comments below. Thanks!
Mr. Bullis walked to his desk and pulled out a black notebook. He flipped it open and started calling roll. His voice was gruff, and Amanda could feel herself getting more apprehensive every second. He finished calling roll and laid the notebook on the desk. He turned back to the class.
"Let me start off by introducing myself. I'm Edward Bullis. I've been teaching at this school for five years." He paused, studying them. "And if you thought that speech class was going to be easy, let me inform you that it won't be." The few cheerful faces that were left in the room vanished. "A few things you should know about this class. First, you will be required to write and give a speech every week. I will split you into two groups. One group will do their speeches on Thursday, and the other will do theirs on Friday. The next week they will switch." Amanda glanced over at Jamie out of the corner of her eye. So far everything that Zane had said was true.
"We will also have pop speeches where you will have five minutes to write a two-minute speech." Mr. Bullis's cold blue eyes quickly silenced the students' groans. A hand slowly rose.
"Yes, Miss Kerr?" Mr. Bullis asked, irritated and impatient.
"Will we actually have to give our pop speeches in front of the class?" the short girl in the second row asked.
Mr. Bullis's face reddened with exasperation. "Yes, of course. In fact, we're going to have one today to see how advanced each of you are. Get out a clean sheet of paper." The sound of zippers and scuffling filled the room as each student obeyed. Amanda glanced over at Jamie fearfully. She knew that she wasn't ready to do this, especially without instructions.
To her slight relief, Mr. Bullis quickly explained a few speech-writing basics. Jamie sent Amanda a wobbly smile. Amanda gave her a shaky half-grin.
"All right, students. You may begin," Mr. Bullis said.
Amanda picked up her pencil and stared down at her blank sheet of paper. She tried desperately to think of a topic. She decided to write about dog habits, since that was something she was pretty familiar with. Not only did her family have three dogs, but sometimes she volunteered to dog-sit for other people.
Every sentence and paragraph seemed to take way too long. When Mr. Bullis announced that their time was up, she set down her pencil and groaned, along with most of the class. She felt like she had hurried through too quickly and that she was going to have to give a horrible speech. Her heart started pounding as she thought about getting up in front of the class and having them all stare at her. She gulped.
As the boy with the long blond ponytail started his speech about motocross racing, Amanda felt her stomach churning with nervousness. She swallowed, trying to drown her fear. It didn't help. She fidgeted nervously.
After four more people gave their speeches, it was Jamie's turn. Amanda managed to give her friend a smile and a thumbs up. Jamie grinned weakly in return, then walked to the front of the classroom. Amanda forced herself to focus on Jamie's speech. Jamie's amazing, Amanda thought as she watched her friend. She knew that Jamie hadn't been worried about the actual speaking part, since she loved talking in front of people and being the center of attention. Jamie had been most worried about writing her speech, especially with a time limit. Amanda thought that Jamie's topic, gardening, even made sense, since Jamie's mom was a florist; it was one of the things that Jamie knew well.
Jamie finished her speech and nodded at Mr. Bullis. The class clapped, just like they had for all of the other students, but Mr. Bullis actually looked slightly impressed. That only lasted a second before he was back to his normal hardened self. "That was nice, Miss Hamilton," he said.
"Thank you, sir," Jamie replied. Amanda could tell that her friend was thrilled. Jamie sat back down in her chair and smiled encouragingly at Amanda.
Two more people went, and Amanda got more and more nervous. There was only one more person before Amanda.
"Valerie Taverna," Mr. Bullis announced. The tall black-haired girl sitting in front of Amanda stood up, flipped her hair over her shoulder, and strolled confidently to the front of the room, a clearly fake smile pasted on her face. Mr. Bullis raised an eyebrow skeptically at her. She reached the front of the classroom and turned to face the class. Flipping her hair over her shoulder again, she smiled sweetly at the rest of the class. Amanda noticed that a lot of the boys in the room started paying attention. She rolled her eyes.
Valerie started giving her speech, and Amanda gulped. Valerie was really good. The speech she'd written about good first dates was great, even though Amanda didn't really care about the topic. Amanda thought that Valerie's speech was way better than her own, and her presentation was definitely as good as Jamie's. She fidgeted and had to sit on her hands to keep from biting her nails. Her stomach churned, and she started to feel a little queasy.
Valerie finished her speech and nodded at Mr. Bullis. The clapping from the students was thunderous, especially from the boys. Amanda had noticed that some of them had taken notes. Valerie sat down with a smug look on her face. She had done well, Amanda thought, and she knew it.
Amanda felt her stomach jump and tried to swallow her fear. She stood up and picked up her sheet of paper, walking slowly to the front of the classroom, her heart pounding. She turned to face the class. Sixteen pairs of eyes were focused on her, seventeen if you counted Mr. Bullis. Jamie smiled encouragingly at her.
Amanda started her speech. Even with her eyes focused on her speech, she could feel the class staring at her. She tripped over her words and said "um" and "uh" way too often. She knew that she was talking too fast, but she couldn't help it. She heard giggles rolling through the classroom and her face reddened with embarrassment. She quickly nodded at Mr. Bullis and walked back to her seat with her head down. She could feel the teacher's eyes drilling into the back of her head. Jamie gave Amanda a sympathetic smile as the next student walked to the front of the classroom.
Valerie turned around from the seat in front of Amanda and faced her with a taunting grin. "So, like, um, don't you know, uh, how to give a, er, speech?" she teased. Amanda's face flushed bright red.
"Knock it off," Jamie growled in defense of her friend.
The sound of someone clearing their throat at the front of the room caught the three girls' attention. Mr. Bullis was glaring at them, his angry gaze frigid. He turned to the speaker, who had just finished. "Thank you, sir." The boy nodded and sat down. Mr. Bullis sent another cold glare in the girls' direction before calling the next student.
The last five speeches seemed to crawl past, especially for Amanda, who squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. She couldn't wait to get out of the classroom; on the other hand, she knew that a lot of the students would probably tease her when they got out of class.
The final student finished his speech, and the rest of the class clapped enthusiastically. It wasn't that his speech was really that great, but the fact that the speeches were over.
Mr. Bullis stood up, glancing at the clock. "Your homework for this week is to choose a topic to write a speech about for Friday." The bell rang. "You may go," Mr. Bullis announced over the clamor of the students gathering their books. Amanda stuffed her speech into her binder and hurried to the door, following right behind Jamie.
"Miss Terrell," Amanda heard someone say behind her. She stopped and turned around. It was Mr. Bullis. "I'd like you to stay after class." Amanda nodded wordlessly and let the other kids flow past her, her heart pounding, until she was left to face Mr. Bullis.

U.S. Hard Court Season Preview
Now that the drama of Wimbledon has passed, it's now on to the grueling hard court season that some players look forward to while others dread. As always, there's a few things to look for as the men start things off in Indianapolis while the women head to L.A.
The Return of Nadal
Rafael Nadal has said he hopes to return to the tour in Montreal. As all of the top players will be there, it will certainly be an interesting test to see how his knees are doing and how the others players react. Wouldn't he want to test the knees at a smaller tourney like L.A. first? And how will he cope with the wear and tear as the season goes on?
Kim Clisters – And baby makes Two
Kim Clisters, former U.S. Open champion, is making a return to the tour after giving birth to a baby last year. She'll probably get a wildcard to the Open, but the hard courts will make an excellent test to see if she's still got the game. I think she does and with some hard work could easily see her back in the top ten.
Some players to watch on both tour include Caroline Wozniacki and Elena Dementieva who should have tons of confidence after her semi appearance at the big W. On the men's side, it will be interesting to see how Andy Roddick plays after his emotional loss to Federer. If he can play as well on the cement and perhaps win a tournament, then he's got to be given a good shot to win the Open. Also look out for Tommy Haas who's having his best year ever. He's definitely now a darkhorse in any tourney he enters.

A trove of hidden documents detailing how Facebook made money off children will be made public, a federal judge ruled late Monday in response to requests from Reveal.
The lead plaintiff in the case was a child who used his mother's credit card to pay $20 while playing a game on Facebook. The child, referred to as "I.B." in the case, did not know the social media giant had stored his mom's payment information. As he continued to play the game, Ninja Saga, Facebook continued to charge his mom's credit card, racking up several hundred dollars in just a few weeks.
The court documents, which have remained hidden for years, came to light after Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting intervened last year to request the records be unsealed. There is increased public interest in Facebook's business practices in the wake of high-profile scandals, including fake news published on the site and the leaking of user data. On Monday, the court agreed to unseal some of the records.
Facebook has 10 days to make the bulk of the documents – more than a hundred pages – available to the public, according to the order.
Reveal's legal effort in the case has already uncovered some of the previously sealed information. Four documents that were either originally sealed or redacted were made partially available to Reveal in October. The documents show widespread confusion by children and their parents, who didn't understand Facebook continued to charge them as they played games.
Facebook employees began voicing their concerns that people were being charged without their knowledge. The social media company decided to analyze one of the most popular games of the time, Angry Birds, and discovered the average age of people playing it on Facebook was 5 years old, according to newly revealed information.
"In nearly all cases the parents knew their child was playing Angry Birds, but didn't think the child would be allowed to buy anything without their password or authorization first," according to an internal Facebook memo. The memo noted that on other platforms, such as Apple's iPhone, people were required to reauthorize additional purchases, such as by re-entering a password.
Yet the company continued to deny refunds to children, profiting from their confusion.
In one of the unsealed documents, two Facebook employees deny a refund request from a child whom they refer to as a "whale" – a term coined by the casino industry to describe profligate spenders. The child had entered a credit card number to play a game, and in about two weeks racked up thousands of dollars in charges, according to an excerpt of messages between two employees at the social media giant.
"I'm glad to hear the public will get to learn more about this matter," said attorney Ben Edelman, who represented the children and parents.
The two sides settled the lawsuit in 2016. Edelman declined to say more, citing a confidentiality clause in the settlement.
The judge agreed with Facebook's request to keep some of the records sealed, saying certain records contained information that would cause the social media giant harm, outweighing the public benefit.
We'll continue to cover this story as the Facebook documents are made public in the coming days.


Two brothers sharing uniforms making one late for school; university students not having enough pocket money for a decent meal; a student's lifelong dream of becoming an engineer; a grandmother's mounting task of cleaning her home following a disastrous flood; and a child suffering from bone marrow cancer requiring medical treatment - these are some of the stories we hear and read.
Tales and data on poverty move us, articles on children and their thirst for education inspire us. The articles we read and stories we hear from the ground encourage us to invest both time and resources as well as shape our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, led by Yayasan UEM, the philanthropic arm of UEM Group.
We believe philanthropy can be life changing not just for the recipients but also the donors, and it can be achieved if we Connect, Engage and Empower both individuals and communities.
Yayasan UEM's two focus areas are Education and Community Assistance, and to maximize our reach as well as achieve objectives, we partner with Government Agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to ensure a more holistic approach could be adopted.
Education distances us from ignorance and dogma - it is a fundamental building block for individual opportunity and economic growth. It is our belief that the long-term success and sustainability of our economy and society rest upon a strong educational system and concerted efforts in developing the future generation.

Q: How to make a custom screen saver in Windows 7 - with time and calculated text? I work for 12 hour shifts and I would like to make myself a screen saver that would show

"Going home in $time"

where $time is the current shift finish - current time.
Is something like this possible ?

A: Windows Screensaver's are basically just executables with the .scr extension, write an program in C or C++ for that, pretty simple enough.

A: I found that instead of using Visual Studio there are other ways like scripting in AutoIT.
Go to the the Downloads section on the website. It doesn't require membership either. Go to the download for the AutoIT application coder and compiler etc. Then search on the downloads page I think its like the misc. section and like the 3rd page in there is a thread called "ScreenSaver Demo - Matrix Included" that contains the source code as well as an example for you to build.
So you open the compiler, insert the script (even create your own icon), click Compile (ensure the script is not in the same directory as the place where you want to place the .exe).
Compile it and it will create an .exe file of your mane choice i.e. Matrix. Then you rename to .scr extension and drop it in the system32 folder and it will show up in the options when you go to personalise -> screensavers. The first time I ran it it didn't like it and would not let me click options, how ever after rebooting it works flawlessly.
For information on how it was compiled check the thread in the forums of AutoIT called Screensaver UDF.

A: This VBScript will automatically update the 3D Text screensaver text with the time left before your shift ends. Save the following text in a file called UpdateScreensaver.vbs and modify the line with FINISH_TIME to have the correct end time:
Option Explicit
'
' Simple vbscript to update the 3D Text screensaver with
' the number of hours left before a shift finishes.
'
' FINISH_TIME is the 24-hour time when you finish.
Const FINISH_TIME = "21:15:00"
' REGISTRY_KEY is the key to update with the time. This will be
' different if you aren't using the 3D text screensaver.
Const REGISTRY_KEY = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Screensavers\ssText3d\DisplayString"
' You don't need to change anything below here!
' ==============================================================
Dim iHours, iMins, sMessage, sUnit
iMins = DateDiff("n", Now(), FormatDateTime(Now(), 2) & " " & FINISH_TIME)
If iMins < 0 Then
    ' Assuming shift work - so the finish time is tomorrow, not today.
    iMins = DateDiff("n", Now(), FormatDateTime(DateAdd("d", 1, Now()), 2) & " " & FINISH_TIME)
End If
iHours = Int(iMins / 60) : iMins = iMins Mod 60
If iHours > 20 Then
    sMessage = "Shift over!"
Else
    If iHours > 0 Then
        sMessage = iHours
        If iMins > 45 Then
            sMessage = sMessage & Chr(190) & " hours"
        ElseIf iMins > 30 Then
            sMessage = sMessage & Chr(189) & " hours"
        ElseIf iMins > 15 Then
            sMessage = sMessage & Chr(188) & " hours"
        ElseIf iHours > 1 Then
            sMessage = sMessage & " hours"
        Else
            sMessage = sMessage & " hour"
        End If
    Else
        sMessage = sMessage & iMins & " minute"
        If iMins <> 1 Then sMessage = sMessage & "s"
    End If
    sMessage = sMessage & " to go!"
End If
Dim wsh : Set wsh = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
wsh.RegWrite REGISTRY_KEY, sMessage
Set wsh = Nothing

Now double click on the file to run it and nothing should happen. This is good. Now go and check the settings for the 3D Text screensaver and you should see that it displays the hours left before your shift ends.
All you need to do now is set up a scheduled task to run this every 15 minutes (or so) and your screensaver will be kept up to date with the number of hours left.
Some notes:

*

*It looks like that if the time gets updated whilst the screensaver is running then the screensaver doesn't update until the next time it is run. I can't do anything about that.

*There is a 20 character limit with this screensaver, hence the shorter text.

*If you want to use another screensaver, then you need to find out where it stores the string containing the message in the registry and change the line with REGISTRY_KEY to match that location.

*Because it assumes shift work, as soon as your shift finishes the number of hours left will flip back to 24 and count down again. To compensate for this, I've added a hack so that if the hours left is greater than 20, it'll state "Shift over!".

Enjoy.

Italy vs. Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito: Let's do this thing
Colleen Conroy Jul 14, 2013	Wrongful Convictions
The Republic of Italy continues its lengthy quest to resolve the case of the tragic death of Meredith Kercher. Since the discovery of the victim's body almost six years ago, the Italian legal system has proceeded through a complex series of motions, hearings and trials intended to assign blame and impose punishment for the crime.
After an initial conviction in 2009, Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were acquitted of the murder in a 2011 appeal. In March of this year, the Supreme Court of Italy annulled that decision and called for another trial. The senior judges have ordered the Court of Assise in Florence to conduct a comprehensive review and resolution of the evidence in a new appeal beginning this September.
It was a welcome relief to learn the next trial will get off the ground only two months from now. With a backlog of twenty years and nine million cases in their legal system, Italian judges apparently are giving this case top priority, and understandably so. It has been a major international media event for over five years, drawing the scrutiny of millions of observers. A professional reexamination of the evidence may result in some semblance of closure for all concerned.
The new trial will not be the final resolution, however; it will be only the next step in an ongoing process. If the defendants are found guilty, they will appeal the decision, again to the Supreme Court. If they are acquitted, the prosecution will appeal, as is allowed in the Italian system. If the Supreme Court upholds the opinion of the appeals court, that will end it. If their decisions differ, another trial will ensue. Thus, the actions may continue for many more years, until a future Supreme Court and a future Court of Assise see eye to eye.
The judges who make the final decision will be the ones who will be noted by history, for better or for worse. The choice presented to them will be whether they want to accept reality or stand in opposition to it, as two courts have done already.
The factual questions of this case have been settled. Knox and Sollecito had nothing to do with the crime. There were no signs of them at the crime scene; they had alibis; they were brutally interrogated without lawyers. The so-called evidence against them is laughable — contrived after the arrests, possibly planted, and not able to stand up to legal or scientific examinations, of which there have been many.
The once-raging online debates have quieted from argument to commentary. Tabloid news reports of the case have given way to thoughtful journalistic analysis. Book reviewers and TV talk show hosts compete for access to Sollecito and Knox following the publishing of their memoirs. Worldwide majority opinion supports the case for innocence. Very few media commentators have the nerve to claim guilt anymore.
Obviously, courts are required to base their decisions on laws, not on what the public thinks. However, this case may be unique in its ties to international media and media consumers. Early on, the police and the prosecution acknowledged the potential role of the press by allowing reporters almost unlimited access to crime scene photographs and information about the case, and then leaking Knox's private prison diary to a journalist who subsequently published it. In Italy, jury members and judges are not discouraged from absorbing media views of an open legal case.
The defendants' families and supporters appealed to the news media as well, for the sake of publicity and advocacy. As a result, financial donors, independent scientists and outside legal experts who learned about the case through the media contacted the families and provided assistance to the defense.
The chief prosecutor himself eventually realized the media could be an enemy as well as an ally. When he was losing ground at the end of the first appeal, he told the jurors, "The trial must be held here, in this courtroom. This lobbying, this media and political circus, this heavy interference, forget all of it." Both sides, then, agree: the outcome of the case is informed by popular opinion.
So. How will this all turn out?
In an ideal world, Florence's Court of Assise will find the defendants not guilty, and then the Supreme Court will affirm that decision. If they are efficient, they may be able to wrap this up by 2017, or after a total of ten years since the murder. That will beat the French, who took twelve years to resolve the Dreyfus Affair, a case that bears many similarities to this one.
In the real world, not even an ideal one, it is inevitable that the defendants, Knox and Sollecito, in the long run will be known as innocent, regardless of the court's final ruling. If the judges of the Italian Supreme Court insist on pursuing claims of guilt, they will be proven wrong, whether it takes another ten years, twelve or twenty. That is an inescapable fact.
Another fact is that if Amanda Knox is found guilty again, the United States will not extradite her to Italy. Forget about it; give it up — it's not going to happen. Likewise for Raffaele Sollecito. He has friends, support and options. Nobody is going back to prison. They just aren't.
Some police officers, lawyers and judges made some mistakes. It happens. Don't drag this out by pretending otherwise. Cut your losses. Take the high road.
The Italian courts' numerous legal actions and show trials in this case have long since outlived their allotted fifteen minutes of fame. Everyone has been looking at the twin towns of Tedious and Tiresome in the rear-view mirror for quite some time now. We are rapidly approaching the backwater truck stop of Crashing Bore.
The people of Italy may be enjoying the temporary media coverage, but in the current economy they should not tolerate footing the tax bills for these ego-fed performances. It is well past time to tie up the loose ends of this scandal and move on to the next.
Avanti, Italia. Git 'er done.

Революция 1905 года в Красноярске — один из эпизодов революции 1905—1907 года в России. События произошли перед выборами в городскую думу. Основное требование участников событий — равные избирательные права.

История

Общая забастовка началась в Красноярске 13 октября 1905 года и продолжалась 14, 15 и 16 октября. 17 октября забастовка прекратилась, но 19 октября возобновилась с большим размахом — к забастовке присоединились все учащиеся.

17 октября 1905 года обнародован Высочайший Манифест Об усовершенствовании государственного порядка.

В Пушкинском народном доме начались ежедневные митинги. Митингами руководит красноярский комитет социал-демократической рабочей партии. Впоследствии социал-революционеры также организовали комитет и собирали митинги.

На митингах ораторы заявляли, что свободы, дарованные манифестом 17 октября не могут быть реализованы из-за отсутствия законов и противодействия бюрократии. Появились требования организации учредительного собрания на основах всеобщего избирательного права. В то время существовал имущественный ценз для выборщиков. В Красноярске избирательными правами на выборах 1902 года обладали 405 человек из 50 000 населения города. В Москве и Санкт-Петербурге избирательный ценз был равен 3000 рублей, в более мелких городах — 1500 руб. На 4 декабря 1905 года назначены выборы гласных городской Думы на 1906—1909 годы.

19 октября 1905 года городская дума созвала экстренное заседание по поводу манифеста 17 октября о даровании политической и гражданской свободы.

21 октября гласный городской думы черносотенец, крупный коммерсант и профессор духовной семинарии Афанасий Смирнов организовал «патриотическую» манифестацию. Около 5 часов вечера манифестанты пришли на митинг в Народный дом. У входа в театр организаторы митинга выставили вооруженную охрану. Началась перестрелка. Черносотенцы не смогли войти в здание театра, и начали избивать прохожих на улице. По данным газеты «Сибирские врачебные ведомости», было убито 10 человек, ранено и избито около 40. По данным других газет погибших было 14 человек. Через несколько дней к уголовной ответственности привлекли организатора «манифестации». В Смирнова стреляли неизвестные, он получил ранение в ногу и умер до суда.

Черносотенцы стали рассылать списки предназначенных к убийству лиц. В городе появились конные патрули народной дружины. Народный дом, по распоряжению губернатора закрыт.

Митинги были перенесены в сборно-паровозный цех при красноярских железнодорожных мастерских. Они вмещали до 20 тысяч человек. Митинги стали популярными среди населения. Организаторам митингов подавали прошения по самым разным вопросам. Рассмотрение запросов происходило публично в присутствии жалобщика и ответчика. Иногда вопрос казался недостаточно выясненным на митинге, и тогда посылались особые делегаты для выяснения подробностей, после чего вопрос снова рассматривался в публичном собрании. Так, например, удалось ввести 8-часовой день на железной дороге.

8 ноября 1905 года в должность вступил новый губернатор Енисейской губернии В. Ф. Давыдов.

В это время по железной дороге из Маньчжурии выводились войска. 24 ноября на митинг в сборно-паровозном цехе в количестве трёх рот прибыл 3-й железнодорожный батальон.

На митинге 1 декабря было предложено создать выборную комиссию от граждан Красноярска.

На митинге 4 декабря, в котором участвовало около 5000 человек, было предложено создать Учредительное собрание. На митинге постановили: захватить революционным путём различные права, в том числе и городское самоуправление.

6 декабря 2-й железнодорожный батальон явился на митинг в полном составе, с оружием и с красным флагом. Был создан «Объединённый совет от солдат и рабочих».

8 декабря началась забастовка 2-го железнодорожного батальона. В Красноярске установилось двоевластие: власть официальная, правительственная, и с другой стороны «Объединённый совет от солдат и рабочих» во главе с Андреем Кузьминым.

Вечером 8 декабря «Объединенный совет от солдат и рабочих» захватил губернскую типографию. Губернатор (в частной типографии) и «Объединенный совет от солдат и рабочих» печатали свои воззвания, сообщения и объявления.

9 декабря состоялась демонстрация протеста против городских дум, избираемых по имущественному цензу, смертных казней и военных положений. Сборный пункт был назначен в сборно-паровозном цехе. Туда же пришёл в полном вооружении и железнодорожный батальон. Многотысячная процессия с многочисленными красными знаменами направилась на Воскресенскую улицу (ныне пр. Мира).

10 декабря был напечатан первый номер газеты «Красноярский рабочий». Газета печаталась в губернской типографии в количестве 6000 экземпляров и продавалась на улицах. Ученическая организация начала издавать свой печатный орган «Светоч», который печатался в одной из красноярских частных типографий.

Обязанности по охране Красноярска вместо полиции выполнял 2-й железнодорожный батальон, избравший прапорщика Кузьмина в руководители.

«Объединенный совет от солдат и рабочих» объявил полную свободу печати, организовал комиссию для подготовки выборов.

О своём решении прислать представителей в Центральную комиссию по проведению выборов заявили: 12 декабря — почтово-телеграфные чиновники, 13 декабря — Общество взаимопомощи учащимся и местное отделение российского учительского союза, Союз чиновников, 14 декабря — Союз приказчиков, 15 декабря арендаторы городской земли. Мещане на своём митинге в Народном доме 18 декабря не смогли выбрать представителей для участия в избирательной комиссии. 15 декабря на заседании городской думы было принято решение не принимать участия в деятельности Центральной комиссии, но послать туда своих наблюдателей.

Центральная комиссия по проведению выборов набрала 150 счётчиков для составления списков избирателей. Возникло множество споров о возрасте, начиная с которого гражданин может принимать участие в выборах. Также рассматривался вопрос о предоставлении избирательных прав лицам, осужденных судом. После оживлённых обсуждений комиссия приняла решение допустить к выборам «опороченных по суду» и достигших возраста 20 лет.

18 декабря в Красноярск пришли новости о подавлении московского восстания. Губернатор торопил красноярский полк, возвращавшийся из Маньчжурии.

21 декабря в № 12 газеты «Голос Сибири» было сообщено, что красноярская полиция обезоружена. Шашки и револьверы приставов, жандармов и городовых сданы народной охране.

22 декабря счетчики раздали жителям переписные карточки и 23 декабря получили их обратно.

24 декабря вышел последний номер газеты «Красноярский Рабочий». В город прибыл Красноярск-омский полк. В городе появились военные патрули. Народный дом был окружен солдатами, которые никого не пропускали в здание. Вечером губернатор занял почту.

25 декабря Красноярский полк останавился на соседней железнодорожной станции. Появились слухи о готовящемся взрыве железнодорожного моста. Полк пошёл в Красноярск в пешем строю.

26 декабря губернатор занял губернскую типографию.

27 декабря в город вошли оставшиеся части Красноярского полка под командованием генерала Редько. Войска заняли продовольственный пункт 2-го железнодорожного батальона. Готовилось разоружение солдат 2-го железнодорожного батальона. Чтобы избежать разоружения ночью солдаты ушли в здание сборно-паровозного цеха.

28 декабря многие жители Красноярска пришли в сборно-паровозный цех и привезли с собою еду для солдат и рабочих. Ученицы фельдшерской школы пришли в цех, и остались там с целью оказывать медицинскую помощь раненым. То же сделали несколько врачей. В 6 часов вечера сборно-паровозный цех окружён правительственными войсками.

29 декабря Социал-Демократический комитет выпустил воззвание к гражданам с призывом протестовать против осады всеобщей городской забастовкой, бойкотом офицеров и отказом платить налоги, которые должны были взиматься 1—2 января 1906 года. Жители города охотно отдали деньги и продукты, но забастовка не началась.

Генерал-губернатор Левенштам начал переговоры с осаждёнными рабочими. С солдатами генерал-губернатор вести переговоры отказался.

30 декабря генерал-губернатором назначен генерал Редько. В сборно-паровозный цех отправились две делегации переговорщиков. Осаждённые требовали:

 снятие военного положения;
 свободу собраний, слова и личности;
 продолжение выборов в думу;
 роспуска всех запасных солдат и
 вывода из Красноярска всех не приписанных к городу войск.

Генерал-губернатор открыл телеграф и почту. Часть почтово-телеграфных чиновников была арестована, часть уволена.

В ночь на 1 января были закрыты обе красноярские газеты — «Голос Сибири» и «Сибирский Край».

1 января генерал-губернатор остановил эшелон казаков. Казаки и солдаты начали штурм. В 16 часов 15 минут был занят вагонный цех в котором осаждённые получали воду. Было оцеплено здание сборно-паровозного цеха, запрещена передача продовольствия. Вечером прошло заседание городской думы. Гласные искали способы организовать помощь осаждённым. На заседании присутствовал губернатор. Он пообещал не стрелять в осаждённых.

2 января 1906 года в 9 часов утра был открыт ружейный и пулемётный огонь по сборно-паровозному цеху. Жители города собрались вокруг оцепления. Депутаты городской думы отправились на переговоры к генерал-губернатору, но он их не принял. Вечером депутаты думы смогли пройти через оцепление в сборно-паровозный цех. После долгих переговоров депутаты уговорили осаждённых сдаться — у них не было воды, температура воздуха была около 40 градусов мороза.

3 января состоялась сдача в присутствии уполномоченных от города и нескольких горожан.

Генерал-губернатор изменил условия сдачи. Было арестовано и отправлено в тюрьму около 500 человек. Со стороны осаждавших погибло 2 человека. Со стороны осаждённых было 9 раненных.

8 января 1907 года начался суд над арестованными. 3 февраля суд вынес приговоры: в отношении нижних чинов 9 приговорены к каторжным работам от 4 до 8 лет, 101 — в арестантские отделения от 1 до 3 лет, 4 — в дисциплинарный батальон, 1 к аресту на 3 дня. Лица гражданского ведомства осуждены с зачетом предварительного заключения: 45 человек — в исправительный дом от 1 до 2 лет, 37 — в тюрьму от 1 месяца до 1 года.

ROYALL LYME BERMUDA - LYME COLOGNE (4oz) – Portland Trading Co.
And so it was that Mr. Gaade, a renowned Bermudian yachtsman and competitor in international races; through vision and tenacity, brought the very first Royall fragrance to market in 1957.
Royall Lyme fragrance is made from the plumpest freshest, native West Indian limes. It is nurtured and washed by pure island rains in a recipe that traces its origins to a very old Caribbean formula obtained from Harbor Islanders. The secret formula of rare essences has a total of 78 ingredients. The resulting Royall Lyme is cool, zestful and refreshing, as perfect for the work place as it is for play.
In 1960, when Royall Lyme was introduced at Brooks Brothers New York, it was an unqualified smash hit. The fragrance is still sold there today. Not long after, Royall Lyme went international to London, Milan, and beyond.
Following Royall Lyme, Mr. Gaade created other fragrances which capture the essence of Bermuda. Royall Spyce, Royall Bay Rhum and Royall Muske. The Royall Mandarin fragrance joined the other successful family scents in 2001 followed by Royall Vetiver in 2006 and finally Royall Rugby in 2011.
The original Royall fragrance inspired by the island of Bermuda. A refreshing aroma that combines the essence of the freshest West Indian limes with rare essential oils, to produce a cooling citrus fragrance. An AFTERSHAVE LOTION and BODY COLOGNE for the quintessential gentleman.

Club 'Malfi' is hiring. You don't have to be crazy but it helps!
Set sometime in the not too distant past, in the run down, late night MALFI Club, we follow characters' stories of love, deception and murder over the course of one night.
Performers (actors, singers and musicians) shall workshop/devise with the director and writers to create the world of the 'MALFI' and the characters that inhabit it.
The production will be immersive, promenade and site specific (i.e. all the basement level and part of connecting ground floor in Teachers Club shall be transformed into the MALFI). This style experiments with the relationship between space, audience and performer. It looks at status dynamic between performers and audience, and how the relationship to space is crucial to that effect. The performance will take place end of October 2018.

Winnebago RV Club Xmas Party from 8-12 Dec 2008 « Travelling in an RV called "Blue Snoopy"
On Friday morning we departed home just after 10.00am and travelled to Wiseman's Ferry, a small town that is located on the banks of the Hawkerbury River. We acrossed the Hawkerbury River on the Webbs Creek Ferry, turned left and arrived at our home for the next three nights, The Del Rio Riverside Resort.
This trip was special for us as it was the first time since owning a motorhome that we had attended a group event and it was also the first time that we would have to rely on the motorhome as our site was unpowered.
The event was organised by Kelly from the Winnebago RV Club and Kelly was assisted by Max and some other Winnebago staff members. The weekend also included a small trade show, several seminars and we were able to have a close look at several Winnebago Motorhomes that were bought on site by representative from Australian Motorhomes, Sydney RV Centre and Country Winnebago.
We estimate that there were somewhere between 40 to 50 motorhomes attending and all participants enjoyed a wonderful weekend together.
The happy hour circle was exceptionally large and the fellowship between participants was outstanding.
We left on Monday morning after having a wonderful weekend which included meeting several couples that we hope we can keep in contact with.
Del Rio was a fantastic venue and we will return next year.
We survived the three nights without power but it did make us realise that the purchase on a couple of 80 watt solar panels may be the way to go.
Biggest surprise of the weekend was a trip over a weighbridge which confirmed the fact that we do need to have the Leisure Seeker re-rated back to 5200kg and we both need to obtain LR licences. Whislt we can manage the situation and operate the motorhome legally (within the GVM weight restriction of 4494kg) on our current licences, we will gain more flexibility by pursuing an upgrade.

Rogue One Prequel Series
Adam Driver Refused To Hang Out With Mark Hamill Before Filming Star Wars
By JK Schmidt - September 5, 2017 04:51 pm EDT
The cast and crew of a Star Wars film will tell you that making a movie is a bonding experience.
From new stars Daisy Ridley and John Boyega's friendship, to Ian McDiarmid's mentorship of Hayden Christensen, all the way back to Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill's sibling-like closeness, making these films seems like finding a new family.
But actors like Adam Driver don't want, or can't, take part in the process lest they ruin their approach to the characters they're playing on screen. Driver plays Kylo Ren, the patricidal enforcer of the villainous First Order responsible for destroying the new Jedi Order and driving his uncle into exile.
Hamill, who portrays uncle Luke Skywalker in the saga, spoke about wanting to hang out with Driver before filming scenes for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, where the two are set up to collide.
"He's very moody and intense," Mark Hamill said to Vanity Fair. "I remember saying to Adam, 'I don't know how you work, or your technique. But, at some point, you were my nephew. I probably bounced you on my knee. I probably babysat for you. There's that side, and now we're both estranged from the Skywalker family. All I'm suggesting is, if you'd like, maybe we could go to lunch, we could get together and hang out.'"
But Driver declined the invitation, "and more power to him," Hamill said of his on-screen nephew.

Driver is a notoriously intense actor, preferring to make his roles "as personal as possible," he said. While he's opened up about his process for portraying other characters, but he keeps it to himself when it comes to Kylo Ren.
"The things about that character that I find painful, that I really relate to, I kind of prefer to keep to myself," he said.
We'll find out how Kylo reacts to seeing Luke when he sees him for the first time since killing his uncle's pupils when Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters on December 15.

The film will deal with Luke training Rey to become a, and possibly the last, Jedi. Meanwhile, the Resistance, including Poe Dameron and First Order defector Finn, continues to fight against the First Order, led by General Hux, while Supreme Leader Snoke and his Dark Side follower Kylo Ren continue their mysterious plot.

Dermot O'Gorman
Visiting Scholar, Digital Civil Society Lab
Dermot is a global sustainable development leader with 25 years' experience in envisioning, ideating, and implementing solutions to protect our wildlife and environment for current and future generations. He has worked with WWF for more than two decades, serving as the CEO of WWF-Australia, WWF-Pacific, and WWF-China. He also holds several board positions, including at the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and the Luc Hoffmann Institute, as well as being the Chair of OpenSC.
Over the past five years, Dermot has been focused on the future, thinking about how WWF and other NGOs globally can use innovation to meet the challenges of a changing world. As a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Stanford University's Digital Civil Society Lab in 2022, he's working alongside the brightest minds around the world to explore the intersection of digital technology, civil society, and big philanthropy; how it's fundamentally changing the charity sector; and how people, governments, and NGOs can work collaborate on new ways forward to achieve a sustainable future.
This builds on his experience at WWF, bringing together human development, environmentalism, social justice, philanthropy, private equity, and innovation. Since joining WWF-Australia, Dermot has transformed the organisation into a leader in codesigning new ways to make a meaningful, lasting difference in the world. Following the devastating bushfires of 2019, he oversaw the largest, most innovative wildlife and landscape regeneration program in the nation's history, WWF's $300m Regenerate Australia program. Dermot also led the establishment of WWF-Australia's award-winning global innovation program, WWF Panda Labs.
His approach to building bridges and mobilising people around a common cause has seen WWF-Australia partner with Indigenous communities, governments, multilateral aid agencies, businesses, and the broader conservation and climate movement.
In the past, Dermot's work at WWF-China led to a successful partnership with the Chinese government on programs that have bent the curve on giant pandas and brought tigers back to China. Together, they also developed a climate resilience plan to protect the ecosystem of the world's third longest waterway, China's Yangtze River.
Meanwhile, by partnering with local communities, WWF-Pacific helped deliver marine-protected areas within ecoregion spatial priorities; scale gender-led coastal fisheries management networks; and innovate on fisheries solutions, including creating a blockchain-based solution to monitor the sustainability of tuna fishing in the Pacific.
As the global pathway to a sustainable future is still an uncertain trajectory, Dermot and WWF's global network executive team will continue to collaborate closely with the best minds to help people, governments, and NGOs see global challenges as opportunities to co-create a better future for humanity and nature.
Dermot has degrees in environmental science and conservation from the University of London and Southern Cross University, an M.Sc. in global environmental policy from the London School of Economics and an MBA, with honors, from IMD Business School, Lausanne Switzerland.

Q: Can my cursor be replaced by other approach? I am working on an assignment that I have to compare almost half million rows of data in two table.
the structure of table is similar and so is the data (ID column is about 99% matched, but I need to compare the rest of the columns, which is about 15 column)
say for instance, in table A the null value is presented by 'N/A', but in table B it's just null. Boolean column in table A present as 'True' and 'False' but '0' and '1' in table B.
The way I approach to this question is to write a cursor that will process data in table A row by row and compare to table B using 'IF EXISTS'
if all the data matched then I insert that row into a table called 'matched' if the data doesn't match then insert to other table called 'unmatched'
my cursor is still running currently it's almost 3 hours now.
want to know if there is other approach to solve my question.
So here is a Sample of two table
create table A (ID int, Name varchar(20), Address varchar(40), City varchar(20),
State varchar(20), Country varchar(20))
create table B (ID int, Name varchar(20), Address varchar(40), City varchar(20),
State varchar(20), Country varchar(20))
Insert into A values(1,'Daniel','12345 marion way', 'Sunnyvale', 'CA', 'USA'),
(2,'Chloe','38660 Hastings Street', 'Fremont', 'CA', 'USA'),
(3,'Charles', '24980 willimet way', 'Hayward', 'CA', 'USA'),
(4,'Tommy', '98765 washington street', 'Fremont', 'CA', 'USA')
Insert into B values(1,'Daniel','12345 marion way', 'Santa Clara', 'CA', 'USA'),
(2,'Chloe',38660 Hastings Street', 'Fremont', 'CA', 'USA'),
(3,'Charles', '24980 willimet way', 'Hayward', 'CA', 'USA')

So I create a cursor for table A and try to match table B, ID:1 the city value is wrong and ID:4 doesn't exist in table B.
Declare compare Cursor for
    Select ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country from A
Open Compare
    Declare @ID int, @Name varchar(20), @Address varchar(50), @City varchar(20)
    ,@State varchar(20), @Country varchar(20)
Fetch next from compare into @ID, @Name, @Address, @City, @State, @Country
While @@Fetch_Status = 0
Begin
    Begin
    IF EXISTS (Select ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country from B
               where ID = @ID and Name = @Name and Address = @Address and
               City = @City and State = @State and Country = @country)
    Insert into Match values (@ID, @Name, @Address, @City, @State, @Country)
    Else
    Insert into Unmatched values(@ID, @Name, @Address, @City, @State, @Country)
    End
Fetch Next from compare into @ID, @Name, @Address, @City, @State, @Country
End

A: Why are you doing this row by row in a cursor? Why not just perform a bulk insert?
INSERT INTO Match (ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country)
SELECT ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country
FROM A
WHERE Exists (
    SELECT 1 FROM B WHERE
    A.ID = B.ID and A.Name = B.Name and A.Address = B.Address and
           A.City = B.City and A.State = B.State and A.Country = B.country
    )

INSERT INTO UnMatched (ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country)
SELECT ID, Name, Address, City, State, Country
FROM A
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
    SELECT 1 FROM B WHERE
    A.ID = B.ID and A.Name = B.Name and A.Address = B.Address and
           A.City = B.City and A.State = B.State and A.Country = B.country
    )

Your match logic will need to be refined, but losing the cursor will at least let the solution perform for the first iteration. Make sure that you index fields if possible.
