Texas Task Force One (TX-TF1) was recently featured on the cover of FireRescue Magazine. An article titled "Disaster Masters" in the December 2002 issue describes in detail the full-scale Operational Readiness Exercise (ORE) that the Blue Team conducted last fall at Disaster City in College Station, Texas.
FireRescue Magazine has a circulation of 327,261 (including pass along readers). The magazine reports that it is the fastest growing magazine in the fire industry. The majority of the subscribers are training officers, instructors, fire chiefs, deputy chiefs, or fire commissioners.
It was the first training exercise involving the entire Blue Team, one of three search and rescue teams in TX-TF1.
The article gives the history of TX-TF1, and mentions that the team has been mobilized several times, including to Salt Lake City for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and to New York City because of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
Highlighting the Brayton Fire Training Field and Disaster City, the article states: "In addition to TX-TF1, TEEX also runs the massive, world-renowned 120-acre Brayton Fire Training Field in College Station, where TX-TF1 trains regularly. Brayton serves as a top training ground for all aspects of emergency response. Within its expansive borders, students from all over the world can train in everything from freight train derailments to aircraft or watercraft fires and rescues.
The rest of the article describes almost play-by-play how the team conducted the exercise. The team was paged-out, and the logistics staff prepared the team's equipment for deployment. Upon arrival at the base of operations and unloading, a reconnaissance team with Weapons of Mass Destruction specialists was sent in and was greeted with a surprise explosion that sprayed an unknown substance everywhere. The team retracted, re-evaluated, and determined the substance was VX gas.
Then, the article continues: "The team broke out their A-level suits to begin decontamination (decon) with a new scene decontamination agent, EasyDecon, a foam developed by Sandia National Laboratories that ranked as one of the highlights of the drill for Gallagher.
The contaminated area was thoroughly foamed and deemed safe before search and rescue operations began. The article then describes the next 13 hours during which three separate rescue operations were carried out, rescuing a total of 31 victims.

Raillietina cesticillus
Family Davaineidae
Genus Raillietina
Order Cyclophyllidea
Class Cestoda
Phylum Platyhelminthes
Similar Raillietina, Raillietina tetragona, Raillietina echinobothrida, Davaineidae, Heterakis gallinarum
Raillietina cesticillus is a parasitic tapeworm of the family Davaineidae. Sometimes called 'broad-headed tapeworm', it infects the small intestine of chicken and occasionally other birds, such as guinea fowl and turkey, which are generally in close proximity to backyard poultry. It is a relatively harmless species among intestinal cestodes in spite of a high prevalence. In fact it probably is the most common parasitic platyhelminth in modern poultry facilities throughout the world.
Pathogenicity and pathology
It is readily distinguished from the other species of Raillietina. The body size is small, scolex is disproportionately large and uniquely shaped, rostellum is wide, and it employs beetles as intermediate host to complete its life cycle.
R. cesticillus is a small tapeworm measuring about 15 centimetres (5.9 in) in length, and 1.5–3 millimetres (0.059–0.118 in) in width. It is whitish in colour, highly elongated, dorso-ventrally flattened, and entirely covered with a tegument. The body consists of the head region called 'scolex', an unsegmented 'neck', and a highly segmented body proper called strobila. The strobila is composed of a chain of ribbon-like proglottids. The scolex bears an apical rounded rostellum surrounded by four suckers. Unlike other species of Raillietina, it is exceptionall broad-headed, the rostellum is very prominent and protruding, and the suckers are small. In addition the rostellar hooks are arranged in two rows. A significant diagnostic character is an unusually numerous hooks, which may be as many as 500. The suckers are poorly developed, and completely devoid of special devices or spines. The scolex measures ~134 μm in diameter, and the hooks are 7-10 μm in length.
The tapeworm completes its life cycle in two different hosts, the definitive host being mostly of chickens, and the intermediate hosts are beetles. More than 100 species of beetles are known to act as intermediate host. Other avian species such as guinea fowl and turkey are also often infected when they ingest infected beetles. A complete life cycle requires 2–4 weeks. One defining feature of the species during developmental stage is the occurrence of a single egg in each egg capsule. The development of an egg embryo to a mature cysticercoid in its intermediate host requires 28 days after infection, but fully mature cysticercoid takes about 31–34 days. Adults were found from chicken after 15 days of infection with mature cysticercoid, and the gravid segments can be obtained in the faeces from 27 to 112 days. Species of flour beetle Tribolium are particularly important as intermediate host since they are the most common pest of chicken feed.
The adult parasite inhabits the small intestine. Generally infection is asymptomatic, and there are no reports of clinical disease. It is considered as the least pathogenic species of Raillietina. However, under heavy loads of experimental infections, pathological symptoms include degeneration of epithelial cells, enteritis, and macrophage infiltration of lymphocyte.
Infection is diagnosed by identifying proglottids in the faeces, or adult worms in the intestine upon autopsy. Fenbendazole is 100.0% efficacious when administered in the diet at 240 ppm (50.9 mg/kg BW) for 6 days in naturally infected broilers; but less effective at lower doses, without affecting the appetite nor it induced any adverse effects on weight gain. Albendazole is a better drug of choice in terms of efficacy and sideeffects.

Gore Gore Girls
I don't know if the Girls want to sex me up or kick my ass, but in the end, who really cares as long as they're delivering the goods. (ed. They want to kick your ass.)
— HearYa.com
The Girls have that special magic of Detroit's best, where they can take the chaos and crumble of the city and transform it into mood capturing sound.
— Toldeo City Paper
Like the fake encore, being told to clap your hands or sing along at a show is at worst an insult and at best a yawn-inducement. These staples of a live act may work to rouse the occasional ticket buyer, but a frequent concertgoer is more likely to think, I'll clap and sing when I want, thanks. Yet when Amy Gore of Detroit's Gore Gore Girls is issuing such requests, you do it -- partly because the band throws down a performance so raw and thrilling it sonically smacks you out of your own peevish head. But mostly, you do it because you're a little scared.
Gore Gore Girls mix Stooges spit with Supremes soul like an itching in my heart full of napalm
— Village Voice
Harnessing sheer rock power for the forces of good, the GORE GORE GIRLS strut their stuff with boldness and attitude, throwing down dirty grooves and instigating scenes of libertine abandon in nightclubs around the world. What sets them apart is their underlying respect for the legends of earlier eras. From BO DIDDLEY to THE RONETTES, THE SONICS to THE SAINTS, the Gores take inspiration from the greats and inject it with hi-octane ferocity, forging a new sound with a modern edge.
Formed in Detroit in 1997, the band released a string of albums that earned raves from the likes of the Village Voice, toured with The Cramps, and captured the attention of fans like Little Steven Van Zandt, who gave the band plenty of airplay on the syndicated show "Underground Garage" and included them in the line-up of his garage rock festival in New York City, where they joined Iggy and the Stooges, the Pretty Things and the New York Dolls.
The band took their name from the 1972 grindhouse classic The Gore Gore Girls, directed by thrill-king Herschell Gordon Lewis (who also wrote the liner notes to Get The Gore), it was distinguished by its extreme gore and weird humor, as dancers were stalked by a killer. Long known as the 'Godfather of Gore' for movies like Blood Feast, 2000 Maniacs and The Wizard of Gore, Lewis incited the band to emerge from Detroit's urban jungle to fight against the tyranny of bland music with their own brand of nitro-injected rock & roll.
Hypnotizing audiences everywhere with a shambolic fusion of girl group, go-go and garage, with the Gore Gore Girls, a new movement is born. They ask, nay, DEMAND your presence on the dance floor. Don't ignore them.

Crawling out from the weed-choked lots of the once proud town, The Detroit Cobras whip out ass-shaking anthems to good times, wild times, and the high and lows of L-U-V; you best believe it and you best not mess with it.
Barrence Whitfield and the Savages
Barrence Whitfield is a full-throttle soul screamer in the spirit of Little Richard, Don Covay, and Solomon Burke...a performer so consumed with satisfying his audiences that he has been called 'crazed, frenetic and completely unhinged.'

The Shack Shakers don't do murder ballads, they do murder boogies. The Shack*Shakers play fried country rock and roll and they take the stage with an energy and passion that runs circles around all but the most earnest of hardcore bands.
Andre Williams
A R&B legend, and you may not even know it. Wrote "Shake A Tail Feather," and sang cult classics "Bacon Fat" (covered by the Cramps), "Greasy Chicken," and THE song about little girls, "Jail Bait." He strips away all the bells and whistles goes for the goodie spot.

Cleveland Community College has narrowed its mascot search down to the final two options: Cougars and a Yeti after the mysterious local creature known as Knobby.
Voting in the first round closed Sunday, eliminating Cardinals from the running. The last two options now battle for the official mascot position as the school moves toward adding intercollegiate athletics.
Voting for the final round opened Monday and will run through Saturday via a poll on the Cleveland Community College Facebook page.
�A mascot creates school spirit and connectivity between students and between the community and the college,� Cleveland Community College President Jason Hurt said.
Hurst added that students have been talking about creating a mascot before athletics were being considered.
Surveys were sent around the college to students, faculty and staff prior to the voting period.
�We want this mascot to be chosen by our students, staff, faculty and our community. After all, we are a community college,� Hurt said.
Cleveland Community College is bringing men�s and women�s cross-country to the school this fall and fastpitch softball in spring 2020. The college will compete in Region 10, which includes community and junior colleges from Virginia, North and South Carolina.
Two weeks ago,�Cleveland Community College announced that College and Career Readiness Dean Chris Nanney will take on the position of athletic director.
The college will still need to hire coaches and begin recruiting students for each of its teams.
Hurst previously told The Star that the college should be ready to name coaches in the next six to eight weeks.

Another Korea
(241) Kim Tu-bong and Historical Linguistics
By Andrei Lankov
I was walking with a friend of mine, one of the world's leading authorities on East Asian linguistics, near Suwon station, when he said to me. "Actually, in the 1920s Korea had some brilliant minds in linguistics. Great scholars! Kim Tu-bong, for example. I heard that Kim Tu-bong had some involvement with politics when he lived in North Korea. Did he?"
My jaw dropped. What should I say? "If being a head of state for a decade, and the chairman of the ruling party for some three years means 'involvement with politics,' he did."
Indeed, for a decade the titular head of the North Korean state was not Kim Il-sung, but a person whose name has been erased from the North Korean history books _ Kim Tu-bong. However, posterity will remember him not as yet another North Korean statesman, but as a great scholar, one of the founding fathers of Korean linguistics.
Kim Tu-bong, born in 1889, was older than most of the North Korean leaders. He was 30 years old when he took part in the March Uprising of 1919 and then, like many other radicals, found himself in Shanghai, the center of the Korean emigre community.
The young teacher and scholar was attracted to the ideas of communism, joined one of the early Marxist groups and spent the 1920s and 1930s engaged in the exile politics of Shanghai.
However, Kim Tu-bong did not become a professional radical unlike many other people of his milieu. His major interest was research in Korean linguistics, which in those days was still in its infancy.
For centuries, the Korean language was despised by the elite, whose official communication was conducted exclusively in classical Chinese. The vernacular of the lower orders was not seen as a worthy object of study.
Only in the early 1900s did the situation change. This coincided with introduction of Western research methods and ideas. The result was an explosive growth in the study of linguistics, and Kim Tu-bong became a major participant in this movement.
It was the Japanese invasion of China that made him leave Shanghai. Like many other Korean leftists Kim Tu-bong found refuge in Yan'an, the headquarters of the Chinese Communists. He came to be seen as the senior Korean exile in Yanan _ his age and his scholarly reputation saw to that.
In this capacity Kim Tu-bong established the Independence League, the umbrella organization of ethnic Korean Communists who were affiliated with the Chinese party.
In early 1946 most Yanan exiles went home. They briefly had a party of their own, but in August 1946 joined the newly established North Korean Workers' Party. Kim Tu-bong became the titular head of the new party, with Kim Il-sung as his deputy. Only in 1949 would Kim Il-sung assume technical primacy in the KWP.
When in September 1948 the North Korean state was established, Kim Tu-bong became the Chairman of the Supreme People's Assembly, in other words, the head of the North Korean state. The 1948 North Korean political practice followed the Soviet pattern, here the head of the state was essentially a figurehead (after all, who remembers that in Stalin's times the head of the USSR was a rather obscure politician named Kalinin?).
However, such choice suited Kim Tu-bong quite nicely. He tried to keep away from politics: perhaps, somehow disillusioned about the realization of his long-cherished dream.
In May 1956 a top level North Korean official said: "Kim Tu-bong is a wise old man, respected by everybody, he prefers to grow flowers in his garden and is not interested in state and Party affairs."
When in the summer of 1956 the disgruntled opposition tried to overthrow Kim Il-sung, they approached Kim Tu-bong. However, Kim Tu-bong made his position clear: while not approving Kim Il-sung's methods, he was not going to participate in the planned attack on the DPRK leader (the opposition wanted to vote Kim Il-sung out of power). Kim Tu-bong believed that any such attempt would be doomed.
He was proved right. On Aug. 31 the opposition lost. The Central Committee, a closed convention of party heavyweights, supported Kim Il-sung, and the participants of the attack (as well as their friends, associates, and relatives) were purged.
Even though Kim Tu-bong did not take part in the 'August incident', he became a victim of the purges as well. He lost his chairmanship at the Supreme People's Assembly, and was subjected to the humiliation of a 'public criticism'. Some of the accusations levelled against him were of very personal nature, like a rumour that he illegally procured sexual stimulators after he had married a much younger woman.
In 1958, Kim Tu-bong disappeared from public view, never to be seen or heard from again.
This was a typical end for a Communist activist of the 1930s. Once firmly in power, Kim Il Sung got rid of those people who had founded the Korean Communist movement. But that is another story…

How Come There Are Never Any Marlins Concepts?
By irishted122
March 8, 2011 in Concepts
irishted122
I wonder why there haven't been many concepts for the new Miami Marlins in 2012. It would seem that you guys would want to do them because they are actually changing pretty much everything for 2012. The name will still be Marlins, but they have said they will alter the colors, logos, and uniforms. In Miami it's become pretty clear they will ditch the teal. I think they will still have some sort of sea-blue-ish color, but the teal is outdated and the owner has never liked it. There is also a lot of speculation that orange will be a part of the color scheme. Orange has been used very extensively in a lot of promotional materials about the team and the new ballpark.
Because the Marlins don't have fans.

I don't think the Marlins have any reason to change. They've got a pretty passable, if not unimpressive, set. I don't see why they would need to go crazy redesigning it....especially if it involves red or blue.
Maybe the lack of Marlins concepts is a passive form of protest against the whole dumb idea of changing their awesome and unique colors to begin with.
Or, you know, you could make some....
Hail to the Redskins...forever.
Haha. Hilarious and probably the truth.

I absolutely love your avatar.

Blake! Where's a bloody violin?!
Location: Wembley Stadium
But this is the glorified request forum!
Concept explosions generally don't happen until some elements of a redesign have been leaked. At that point, everyone chips in with a way to do it better.
The Marlins have a good color palette now, but a horrible application of it. They wear too much black for being in Miami, they hardly use any teal because their dickbird owner doesn't like it, and they generally look the same as the White Sox.

This coming weekend the TrialGP World Championship arrives at the final date before the summer break as Belgian town Comblain-au-Pont hosts the sixth event of the season, with Toni Bou looking to consolidate his leadership.
Repsol Honda Team rider Toni Bou, current overall leader of the TrialGP World Championship is all set to tackle the next date in the highest category of the competition. French town Comblain-au-Pont gets to host the champion aboard his Montesa Cota 4RT and his adversaries whose destinies becomes ever clearer as the season draws on.
Toni Bou currently has a thirteen-point advantage over the nearest second-place rider in the championship table. The Andorra based rider, in addition, was the winner of the two previous occasions when the world championship visited Comblain-au-Pont. Bou hopes to continue the positive streak that has seen him victorious in four of the six events disputed this year, with the last three done so consecutively.
Meanwhile, Takahisa Fujinami has recently taken a strong step forward and has managed to put his earlier frustrating results behind him and will be eager to get back on the podium. In France he missed the rostrum by a hair's breadth but should be able to reaffirm the recent good form with a positive result.
The Belgian trial will feature the qualifying stage on Saturday from 15:00 hrs with main event on Sunday two laps of fifteen sections each, over a ten kilometre route – the longest of the 2018 season.
Things are going very well so far, but we cannot stop working and must continue along the same lines, if we want to achieve our goal. In Andorra, Portugal and last weekend in France, we were able to win, but it was by no means easy. I am sure that in Belgium we will have a complicated race, with some rivals who, as we have seen, do not give up easily.
I am quite satisfied with how I performed in the last trial and I hope to continue this way this weekend in Belgium. I was close to the podium in France and I think that it will come, hopefully sooner rather than later. I am in good shape and the team is working hard. Let's go for the podium!

Albert John Bushong (September 15, 1856 – August 19, 1908), known as Doc Bushong, was an American catcher in Major League Baseball. Bushong also made appearances as an umpire and after his retirement from baseball, he practiced as a dentist. Some sources credit him with the invention of the catcher's mitt.

Early life

Descended from the Colonial immigrant Bushong family, Albert John Bushong was born September 15, 1856, in Philadelphia, the son of Charles A. Bushong and Margaret Moore Bushong. Bushong attended public schools in Philadelphia and graduated from Central High School in 1876. After playing baseball in various minor league teams for a couple of years, he enrolled in 1878 in dental school at the University of Pennsylvania. Bushong was one of the first to matriculate in the brand-new Department of Dentistry and he received his D.D.S. in 1882. While attending dental school, he played professional baseball every year, catching in more than 230 games as well as "barnstorming" in the off-season with a different team, the Hop Bitters. Bushong was the first University of Pennsylvania graduate to play in Major League baseball. He did not play ball for the university, as he was already playing pro-ball. Shortly after graduation Albert J. Bushong and Theresa M. Gottery were married and together they had seven children.

Baseball career

His baseball career, spanned from 1875 to 1891, and Bushong played on various professional minor league and major league teams, including the Brooklyn Atlantics (1875), Philadelphia Athletics (1876), Worcester Ruby Legs (1880–82), Cleveland Blues (1883–84), St. Louis Browns (1885–87), Brooklyn Bridegrooms (1888–90).

Some believe his greatest success came in the latter part of his career, when Bushong played on five pennant winning teams and was in post-season play five times. His most notable performance is most likely in the 1886 St. Louis Browns of the American Association when they beat the Chicago White Stockings of the National League, for the Championship (later called World Series). For his part in the championship, in 1886, the Missouri Pacific Railroad, honored Bushong and several other players by renaming some of their whistle-stop towns. The town of Weeks in Kansas, became, Bushong, Kansas.

In 1887 Bushong became one of the first baseball players to do paid product endorsements, in an advertisement for Merrell's Penetrating Oil, which was a cold medicine. Leading up to the 1888 season, Bushong made news again, when Chris von der Ahe owner of the St. Louis Browns sold the contracts for Bushong, along with pitcher "Parisian Bob" Caruthers, and first baseman/outfielder/pitcher Dave Foutz. The sale was to the Brooklyn Bride Grooms and their owner, Charlie Byrne who paid, what was then, the enormous sum of $19,000, for the trio.

On July 4, 1889, in the second game of a doubleheader in St. Louis, Bushong injured his arm and played in only two more games during the regular season. He never fully recovered from the injury, which marked the beginning of the end of his baseball career. The 1890 season, was Bushong's last on the Bridegrooms and in major league baseball and he was officially released on March 26, 1891. Within a couple of weeks still wanting to play for the 1891 season, Bushong signed on with a minor league team and eventually played on two different teams through mid-July before he was released.

Catcher's mitt

In a game that was traditionally played bare-handed, it is difficult to say who was first to make and use the padded catcher's mitt similar to today's glove. The first player to wear a glove was catcher Doug Allison, in 1870.  In 1888, Joe Gunson described his catcher's mitt, and is sometimes associated with its invention, along with Doc Bushong and others. But his claim as first is brought into question by a Brooklyn Eagle article that describes Bushong with his special glove at least a season before Gunson's claim. But on July 1, 1887, while at bat in the sixth inning of a game against Louisville, Bushong's fingers were mashed by a wild pitch from Louisville switch pitcher Ice Box Chamberlain The injury resulted in a broken finger and prevented him from playing for almost ten and a half weeks. But it is easy to believe that on September 18, 1887 when he returned, Bushong had seriously padded a mitt to protect his hand as well his dentistry profession. Further, an article in October 13, 1887, by the Brooklyn Eagle, tells of Bushong losing his old glove....
 The photographs taken of Bushong, used for the 1888 season, on the Old Judge baseball cards, show him with thick gloves on both hands, but in 1889 Sporting Life magazine described his mitt as a spring mattress on his left hand.. In the end, most agree that Bushong certainly deserves credit in the evolution of the catcher's mitt and with his known motivation to protect his hands, many believe that he was its primary inventor.

Scandal in the 1889 World Series

A minor scandal involving Bushong and the 1889 World Series came to light in November 1889. Following the Bridegrooms' series loss to the New York Giants, six games to three, a telegram from Bushong to Giants catcher Jocko Milligan was revealed.

The scheme involved a $400 prize to the individual winners of the series. The prize had been offered by a chewing gum firm, likely the Green and Blackwell Company of New York, known as G and B Chewing Gum Co., who in 1888, were first to issue gum with their baseball cards. Bushong's idea was prize sharing, where, before the actual games, they were to agree, whoever was the winner would split the prize with the loser. In the newspapers, it was briefly mentioned as cheating, even though the practice was common in numerous sports and had been around in baseball for over a decade. Though embarrassed over the affair, nothing more came of it and Bushong continued playing.

Later life

Following his baseball retirement in 1891, Bushong, then 33 years old, began practicing dentistry full-time along with two brothers, who were also dentists, at a large dental house in Hoboken, New Jersey. Eventually he became manager of the establishment. Also while working in Hoboken, he began and, according to baseball historian William Rankin, "built up a large and flourishing practice", at his home in south Brooklyn, 442 Ninth Street.  On November 9, 1898 Bushong's 4-year-old son died after being severely burned in an election night bonfire, which were common ritual at the time. Eventually three of his sons, as well as a nephew, also became Brooklyn dentists and several worked at the Bushong family business, which was in operation as late as 1942. On August 19, 1908 Albert John Bushong died of cancer at his home, 442 Ninth Street, Brooklyn, at the age of 51 and was buried in the Holy Cross Cemetery, Brooklyn, New York.

On March 2015, four years after the earthquake, the Ishinomaki Line opened and Onagawa Station resumed.
A large white roof is made with the image of a sea cat and gives people a bright and soft impression. On the second floor there is also a hot spring facility, "Onagawa Onsen Yupoppo", which has tile art "Family Tree" with a wish for reconstruction. This Onagawa Station is "The symbol of the town where the sea urchin flies".
In December of the same year, when Onagawa Station resumed, the tenant-type commercial facility "Seapalpia Onagawa" was rebuilt along the promenade that extends to the sea. A shopping district with low-rise brown buildings continues, and there are a wide variety of stores such as restaurants, material packing shops handling cardboard, diving shops and pharmacies, and flower shops with beautiful flowers.
Along the way, I went to the fruits shop and bought a bright red ripe strawberry from Ishinomaki from an assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Delicious "Onagawadon" at a market filled with seafood from Sanriku "Local Market Hama Terrace"
I went down the slope and arrived at Onagawacho Food Center "Local Market Hama Terrace" which opened in December 2016. Sanriku fishing grounds, which are said to be "one of the three major fishing grounds in the world", are right in front of you. "Hama Terrace" sells seasonal seafood and sweets from Onagawa, focusing on fresh fish and processed fish products. In addition, handmade organic soap is sold, and you can experience making soap in the shop. "Hama Terrace" is a facility with 8 stores based on the concept of "sea".
It was "Onagawa-don" that I had in the Hama terrace. An excellent dish prepared by the landing of the day, such as , tuna, salmon, shrimp, mekabu, salmon etc., are very fresh, and the fish meat is slick and delicious. After a meal, Ishinomaki strawberry! The smell of spring is full.
The Spanish tile that colors "Onagawa town" that has lost its color .
On the Hama Terrace, you can see the walls of the Spanish tiles, which are scattered in various colors. This is the idea of Narumi Abe, who is representative of Minatomachi Seramika Kobo, a shop of Sea Palpia Onagawa, that "I want to lighten the colors of Onagawa town with Spanish tiles!".
Using Spanish materials and techniques, hand-painted one by one, colored and baked, the tiled patterns will paint "Onagawa town" one after another without fading. At the workshop, the participants produce two coasters, one at hand, and the other signed by myself, donated to Onagawa.
Four bells were attached to the clock set in the old Onagawa station building. It sounded at the time of arrival and departure of the train and was familiar to people. From rubble's mountain after the earthquake, the bell of the clockwork clock which was at Onagawa station was found miraculously in perfect condition.
The bell was displayed as a symbol of the shopping street and became the name of the shopping street. At the entrance to the sea of the Seapalbia Onagawa, a new bell of hope was installed as a symbol of reconstruction. Onagawa Town's slogan "To a town where a new start is born" Onagawa Town is steadily beginning to move toward a new future.

Exceptionally happy with the $13Au price tag for Enchanting David Bowie: Space/Time/Body/Memory as there is nothing worse than ridiculous prices for academics books.
I'm not talking sales here, I'm talking access, and for that price I'm going to buy a copy for my Kindle. My reading and research is almost entirely confined to the digital and my bookcases increasingly giving way to Lego as I replace paper.
Initially my embrace of the Kindle app on the iPad mini was a response to neck pain and difficulties with long hours of reading, but the word search, note taking, bookmarking, and audio sync features make me happy and my reading more productive, which is very important give the limited time available for reading.
Paper is still magnetic in its attraction and my office is still littered with the stuff – books on shelves, printed articles when my eyes need a different surface to move over – it is an all expression of the legacy techniques of the institution. The recent shift to PDF is a simply digital arrangement of the same forces involved, at least most of the mess is restricted to digital realm of the email inbox.

NINAZ SAFFARI
If you're looking at years or even decades in prison because of a sex-crimes prosecution, there is simply no better defense lawyer than Ninaz Saffari in the entire state. Since March 2005, when she was first admitted to the California Bar, Ninaz's practice has largely focused on defending her clients against almost every imaginable type of sex charge – from misdemeanor sexual battery all the way to forcible rape of a minor with a potential life sentence.
Ninaz first began fighting sex-crime prosecutions when she started working as a Deputy P.D. at the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office. She later learned to investigate a sex crimes case the way detectives should do, and, when appropriate, to aggressively push it towards trial. Indeed, thus far she has taken more than sixty (60) cases all the way through trial, and has defended more than two thousand individuals.
After more than 16 years of criminal law experience with an outstanding track record, Ninaz regularly gives advice to less experienced attorneys on the finer points of California sex crimes law, as well as defense and trial strategies. She has also appeared numerous times on network TV as an expert, including on CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News, and MSNBC.
Although she has two offices in L.A., Ninaz is able and willing to travel anywhere in California to fight on behalf of her clients, and occasionally works with other attorneys as co-counsel. She particularly excels at fighting so-called "slam-dunk" cases which appear unwinnable.
Ninaz's other specialty is handling "Pre-File" sex crimes cases, where, either before or even shortly after charges are filed, she works tirelessly to convince the investigating detective to forego referring the matter to the DA's Office; or, if it's already been referred, to convince the prosecutor to reject it.

We have a requirement to validate timesheet data before user submits it for approval. It is to validate zero hours and blank timesheet. I know there is CA timesheet validation tool. But I want to do in programmatic way. Anyone done this before?
One way to do that is to create a NSQL based portlet for items that do not validate.
Yes NJ. When the resource submits the timesheet. Is that any way to validate?
What exactly do you mean with validation?
There is no "stock" way to do what I think you are describing. In order to present an error message at the point that the user submits an "empty" timesheet you would need the CA-Services timesheet validation tool (or develop some unsupported "hack").
The "stock" answer is to have a timesheet-proces which would return empty-timesheets, but this would be asynchronous (i.e. done in the background and the user would not immediately be notified).
I was thinking that you could modify the conditional timesheet approval process validation step to lover the limit to zero hours and do the return and notify the user if needed after the save attempt has been made.
^ yes thats exactly the "stock" solution - its just asynchronous.
"We" all understand how Clarity works - BG processes/notifications etc - but when a "business user" asks for timesheet validation then I think that their expectation is something immediate - in their faces - "You can not submit this timesheet" error messages at the point of entry/submission*... but the product just does not work like that and it is our (unfortunate) job to have to explain that to the "business user".
Then you would also be familiar with how the data integrity and validators work: The admin runs them and gets a report and start kicking the users to get the problems with missing or incorrect data fixed.
Yeah would be interesting to see if there is a solution to alert at save when the timesheet has no hours and you don't have any, but you must submit a timesheet for every period anyway.
Yes we do this. We are MS SQL on premise.
We have a trigger on prtimesheet which is Invoked when the status is set to 1 (submitted).
^ yep, and while I have no doubt that that works, it falls into the "unsupported hack" category!

Delegate Comstock's HB 1385 and HB 1931 Signed By Governor
Paid for and authorized by Friends of Barbara Comstock
CONTACT: Jessica Goodman
Delegate Comstock's "Secret Ballot Protection Act" and "KEEP Secure Act" To Protect Employee Rights And Privacy Signed By Governor
McLean, VA- Governor McDonnell has signed Delegate Comstock's House Bill 1385, the "Secret Ballot Protection Act," and House Bill 1931, "KEEP Secure Act: Keep Employees Emails and Phones Secure Act."
Delegate Barbara Comstock released the following statement on the signing by the Governor of both bills:
"The signing of the Governor of these bills is a victory for the rights of workers and for protecting employees in the workplace. Virginia continues to lead the way with strong right to work laws that will protect the secret ballot, protect employee information and protect our strong pro-jobs climate in Virginia."
"'The Secret Ballot Protection Act will strengthen workers' rights and freedoms and puts us on the side of Virginia workers and their right to a secret ballot. Democratic Presidential candidate George McGovern called efforts to eliminate the secret ballot 'a disturbing and undemocratic overreach.' With the signing of this legislation, workers will be protected from intimidation, harassment and potential threats to vote in a certain way."
"Passage of 'The KEEP Secure Act' will keep employees' emails, cell phones and phone information, and work schedules out of the hands of third parties unless there is a legal obligation to provide the information. Now, employees privacy will be secured and employers will be protected against demands from third parties trying to get information beyond what is legally required in workplace elections."

Experts Discuss Islamic Studies in Africa [incl. Ebrahim Moosa]
by Sasha Zients
The Duke Chronicle
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/21196/experts-discuss-islamic-studies-in-africa-incl
The significance of West African institutions is often overlooked when studying Islam, said Rudolph Ware, assistant professor of history at the University of Michigan, Thursday evening.
Ware gave the keynote and opening address of a workshop titled "Islamic Institutions of Higher Learning in Africa." Twenty experts in the fields of Islamic and Quranic studies in Africa came from all over the world for the closed workshop. The lecture—which was sponsored by an array of departments including Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and the Center for Muslim Life—was open to the public.
"Islamic institutions in Bangladesh and Pakistan receive undue notoriety, while Islamic institutions south of the Sahara are largely neglected," said Ebrahim Moosa, professor of religion and Islamic studies.
Moosa introduced Ware to the audience, noting that Ware's upcoming book—"The Walking Qur'an; Islamic Education, Embodied Knowledge and History in West Africa"— explores Islamic institutions in West Africa.
Ware echoed Moosa, saying that there is "dearth" of studies about institutions in West Africa. He said these institutions are marginalized within the mainstream African and Islamic Studies for colonial reasons.
"[People] have trouble seeing West African Muslims as authentically Muslim and authentically African at the same time," Ware said.
In researching for his book, Ware, a social historian, said he was looking to answer what people do when transferring religious knowledge to others.
"Islamic education in West Africa focuses on the body and its senses as a vehicle for knowledge," he said.
Ware said he used a diverse body of primary sources to gather the history of Qu'ran schools in West Africa—which still exist today.
"These schools have a profoundly conservative approach as compared to the rest of the world," Ware said. "They still use wooden tablets and corporal punishment."
Ware said that in many interviews he did with Senegalese people who had attended Quran schools, interviewees showed him lashes from their teachers.
"The lash had written the Quran on them," Ware said.
As part of his research, he spoke to teachers from Quran schools about their educational philosophies. Ware said that education in Qur'an schools mostly centers on disciplining and correcting students.
One teacher told Ware to imagine his favorite food and then to imagine serving it in a dirty bowl. The teacher considered this a metaphor for children studying the Quran.
"You need to clean out the vessel before giving children of Adam the word of God," Ware said, citing the teacher's philosophy.
Many in the world consider Qur'an schools—often criticized as violent and singularly focused on rote memorization—to be effective and religiously significant. In the question and answer session after Ware's lecture, workshop attendee Abdulmageed Ahmed, a university registrar from Sudan,commented that there is something to be learned from the emphasis on discipline at Quran schools.
"We are weak now because we left that kind of teaching," Ahmed said.

I have a 93 F250 HD, and I am having a hard time fueling up. It seems as though every single time I go to refuel, I have to fuel up at a stupid slow rate. Even when I try to set the pump at the first click, it will just shut off.
I did a little research on the web and everything I am reading is that I need to lower the spare tire, take the evap filter down and clean it out. Is this right? Has anyone here had the same issue?

Has anyone come up with a solution to the wellback issue when fueling these trucks?
You need to make sure the hose to the canister isn't plugged. It may be a simple fix.

Title character in Martin is a supposed 84-year-old vampire whose youthful visage has survived his escape from Rumania through his contemporary journey to Braddock, Pa, where grandfather Lincoln Maazel is determined to drive out 'Nosferatu', with Martin as the last remaining relative afflicted with the family curse.
Title character in Martin is a supposed 84-year-old vampire whose youthful visage has survived his escape from Rumania through his contemporary journey to Braddock, Pa, where grandfather Lincoln Maazel is determined to drive out 'Nosferatu', with Martin as the last remaining relative afflicted with the family curse.
This urban vampire kills not with his teeth, but with prepackaged razor blades, neatly slicing veins and arteries for his mealtime pleasure.
Pittsburgh-based auteur George A. Romero is still limited by apparently low budgets. But he has inserted some sepia-toned flashback scenes of Martin in Rumania that are extraordinarily evocative, and his direction of the victimization scenes shows a definite flair for suspense.

Q: find if a given timestamp belongs to set A or set B I want to 'classify' timestamps to either A or B, where A and B are sets of timeframes. More specifically, I have a few dates in the following format '2014-11-23T12:00:00.000+04:00'. What I would like to do is to find whether each of them 'belongs' either to set [between 11 and 16 on Monday or 11 and 16 Tuesday] or to set [between 11 Saturday to 16 on Sunday] or to non of these sets. Any ideas how to implement this in Python?
EDIT:
The following code works fine for the provided date string, however, it is not complied with my date string as I use a slightly different format (i.e. '2014-11-23T12:00:00.000+04:00')
from datetime import datetime
new_time = datetime.strptime('2012-03-01T10:00:00Z','%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
print(new_time)

A: Python has nice rich comparisons. Specifically, you can write:
if low < myval < high:
    print("{} is between {} and {}".format(myval, low, high))

And it works exactly as you expect.
If you run dir(new_time) you'll find a list of interesting looking properties, like weekday, and hour. So you could do something like
THURSDAY = 3

if new_time.weekday == THURSDAY and low_time < new_time.hour < high_time:
    print("{} is on Thursday between {} and {}".format(new_time,
                                                       low_time,

You also might want to make sure that .minute/.second/.microsecond aren't > 0. Of course if it's a specific Monday or Friday you're looking for, you could easily create your times like so:
monday_at_1100 = datetime(2014, 12, 8, 11)
monday_at_1600 = datetime(2014, 12, 8, 16)

if monday_at_1100 < new_time < monday_at_1600:
    do_something()

A: Two general approaches that scale:
Reduce the precision of your data.
Map timetstamp 12:13:14 to 12:*****, then you can have a comprehensive set of timestamp in native Python set:
"12:*****" in set(["12:*****", "17:*****"])
True

Use binary tree or heap or skip list or similar hierarchical data structure
        (12:00, 17:59)
          /       \
(12:00, 12:59)  (17:00, 17:59)

Parametrized Polynomial Systems, and Real Numerical Algebraic Geometry
Numerical Algebraic Geometry (NAG) is a set of theory and tools for studying systems of polynomials, and complements the symbolic methods. It is distinctly geometric in flavor, and is well-suited to a number of applications in engineering and science.
Systems of parametrized polynomial systems can be challenging to solve, both for symbolic methods and NAG, due to large number of symbolic objects, i.e. variables and parameters. The ubiquitous Monte Carlo method, or plain mesh-like discretization, can be a useful tool to study parametrized systems. Paramotopy, a program which solves systems over arbitrary samplings of a parameter space, has been used to study kinematic manipulators, chemical reaction networks, and biological multistability. I will talk about its theoretical framework, and applications of the software.
A complement to parametrized systems, under-determined systems have positive-dimensional components to their varieties. Over the complex numbers, components have generic behaviour, and are relatively easy to characterize, even if they have singularities. Over the real numbers, however, positive-dimensional varieties are difficult to study, most namely because the reals are a set of measure zero in the complexes, and the theoretical basis for NAG doesn't hold. However, recent theoretical algorithmic advances have provided us with tools to study 1- and 2-dimensional real sets. In this vein, I will talk about Bertini Real, software which numerically `decomposes' real curves and surfaces in any number of variables.

For over a decade, CivicAction has brought together senior executives and rising leaders from all sectors to tackle some of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area's (GTHA) toughest challenges. The organization sets a non-partisan agenda, builds strategic partnerships and launches campaigns, programs, and organizations that transform the region.
Building relationships with regional and local media has been CivicAction's main communications strategy. "Due to the combination of our work spanning a number of specialized topics and specific focus on the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, we've found that direct media outreach is the most effective method in generating media coverage," said Sarah Harris, Director, Communications at CivicAction. Harris and her team have also spent a lot of time leveraging a solid network of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
But CivicAction is a small team with limited resources, so its capability to reach mass audiences has been difficult. "Our main challenge is reaching a wider audience beyond those who are already directly involved in our work or follow us closely on social media," said Harris.
CivicAction leveraged Cision Distribution by Canada Newswire, to build a regular cadence of communication with new audiences along with its active audience. "We identify strategic moments to use Cision when we want an announcement or event to have the largest impact possible or the greatest reach," said Harris. "Specific timing is also coordinated to occur alongside other communications activities, like social media postings and presentations." (click to tweet ) In addition, CivicAction sends out media advisories to local media about events that the group is participating in, along with interview opportunities with its leadership. "Cision's News Centre has helped us distribute our advisories and press releases to a more comprehensive network of news media in the GTHA," said Harris.
Newswire distribution has also helped CivicAction increase web and social media traffic, especially around launch dates for key initiatives and events.


Organizations like PETA have have been protesting the use of wild animals in the circus for a long time. The animals play a major role in any circus, in particular, the elephants and the big cats. More often than not, the performances go off without a hitch, but sometimes the animals don't want to perform and that can be scary. Such was the case recently during a performance of the Lviv Circus when one of the male lions decided he didn't feel like performing and aggressively let the trainers know that.
Animal advocates argue that these animals should not be held in captivity and should not be exploited through performance. Now matter how good the lion tamers are, lions are still lions and WILL act accordingly as lions.
Attacking big cats, in this case lions, can be just as dangerous for the spectators as they are for the trainers, which creates several major issues for the circus... namely, how to handle it.
This video is a great example of what can go wrong. This video is not all that graphic, but is extremely troubling and unsettling, not to mention very tense. This could have been much worse, especially when some of the other lions decided to help their brother. See for yourself.

Q: should I cofigure clustered MS DTC on windows 2012 r2 used for MS SQL server 2014 that runs as failover claster from mentioned 2 machines Usualy i use ms sql server without high avalability. Usualy I need configure os local ms DTC to my transactionScope transaction works. This transaction are open in c#code in application server and then ms sql server modify DB within transactions. So, in this case local ms dtc configuration is required: allow inbound, outboud traffic, mutual authentification.
But is it sufficient to confige local ms DTC on both claster DB machines only or should i configure clastered DTC? Db cluster based on Windows 2012 r2.

A: No - I configured local DTC on each of two machines (not clustered DTC) and failover cluster is working well for a couple of months.

Duma speaker suggests drafting lawmakers' roadmap of Russia-Belarus integration
A session of the Union State's Higher State Council held on November 4 approved 28 sectoral union integration programs
MOSCOW, November 7. /TASS/. The Parliamentary Assembly of the Russia-Belarus Union State should discuss joint steps towards legislatively implementing decisions by the leaders of both countries and work out a roadmap of lawmakers' part in integration processes, State Duma Speaker, Parliamentary Assembly Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said on his Telegram channel on Sunday.
"At the next session of the Parliamentary Assembly, it is necessary to discuss joint steps for the legislative support of the decisions by the presidents of our countries. It is necessary to work out a roadmap of lawmakers' participation in implementing integration processes," the State Duma speaker said.
A session of the Union State's Higher State Council held on November 4 approved 28 sectoral union integration programs, an updated military doctrine and a migration policy concept of the two states, Volodin said.
As the Duma speaker said," the approved programs are aimed at raising the well-being of citizens of the two countries and creating a common economic space."
"Presidents [Vladimir] Putin [of Russia] and [Alexander] Lukashenko [of Belarus] are doing everything possible to ensure that citizens of Russia and Belarus benefit from the decisions made and these are breakthrough decisions," the Russian politician stressed.
"Now the parliaments of Russia and Belarus should carry out large-scale work to further unify the legislations of both countries as part of the efforts to implement the sectoral union programs that have been mapped out," the Duma chairman said, noting that "the work to carry through the accords will require tens of legislative decisions," which raised the responsibility of lawmakers from both countries.
Earlier, a story spread in the media about a possible new meeting between Sergey Lavrov and Antony Blinken which could take place in February

10 Deleted Scenes That Explain Major Movie Plot Holes
While deleted scenes are usually cut out of movies because they disturb the flow, sometimes they do just the opposite.
Every so often, a scene that is essential to a full understanding of a movie's plot ends up on the cutting room floor, leaving the audience feeling confused. Here are 10 of those instances.
1. BLADE RUNNER (1982)
In the original theatrical release of Blade Runner, audiences were confused when Deckard (Harrison Ford) found an origami unicorn that Gaff (Edward James Olmos) left for him during his escape with Rachael (Sean Young). For the next 20 years, this very ambiguous moment was a mystery to many viewers until Ridley Scott restored the deleted scene back into Blade Runner for its 20th anniversary in 2002. The scene featured Deckard's daydream of a unicorn, which fleshed out the idea that he's a replicant, and that Gaff knows his true identity.
2. THE GOONIES (1985)
At the end of The Goonies, a number of news reporters surround the titular group of teens and ask them questions about their adventure. Data (Jonathan Ke Huy Quan) tells one of the reporters that the octopus attack was "very scary and very dangerous." But the audience never saw an octopus attack.
A deleted scene explains what Data was talking about: The group was attacked by a giant octopus before they make it onto the pirate ship. Although the scene was cut out of the movie, it appeared in its computer game tie-in.
3. BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985)
In Back to the Future, Marty (Michael J. Fox) pretends to be a visiting spaceman to scare George McFly (Crispin Glover) into asking Lorraine (Lea Thompson) to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. He wears the same radioactive fallout suit he wore to get to 1955 and uses his portable AIWA cassette player to play Van Halen to wake up his father. However, Marty also appears to be wearing a modern hairdryer on his belt, which he actually uses as a heat ray in the extended version of the scene.
Here's where he got it: In a deleted scene, Doc from 1955 rummages through a suitcase of his future self's personal belongings, which contains a Playboy magazine and a hairdryer. The extended scene also reveals why George overslept instead of going to school the next day.
At the beginning of Aliens, Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) is rescued while in hypersleep after drifting in space for 57 years. When she's told her daughter died while she was away, Ripley appears to shrug it off and proceeds to take an assignment with a group of space Marines on LV-426.
While Ripley finds Newt (Carrie Henn) on the planet and looks after her as if she were her daughter, a scene that was deleted from the theatrical release reveals Ripley's heartbreak over her own daughter's death. The scene fleshes out her character and frames the entire film as a woman trying to piece together her life after fighting Xenomorphs in outer space. Although the scene is short, James Cameron reedited it back into the director's cut, which emphasizes the family aspects of Aliens.
5. BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II (1989)
In Back to the Future Part II, old Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) steals the DeLorean time machine in 2015 to give his younger self the Grays Sports Almanac. When old Biff returns to the future, he's visibly hunched over and in pain when he staggers out of the DeLorean—with no explanation as to what happened to him.
However, a deleted scene shows old Biff Tannen hiding behind a car and vanishing away from existence. Director Robert Zemeckis and co-writer/producer Bob Gale explained that old Biff disappeared because he no longer existed in 2015 (Lorraine shot him sometime in the 1990s). The scene was deleted because test audiences didn't understand what was going on, so the filmmakers decided to make it ambiguous—and only slightly confusing—instead.
6. TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991)
At the end of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, the T-800 sacrifices itself to save the future from more Terminators being made. Before it lowers itself into molten steel, John Connor (Edward Furlong) pleads with it not to kill itself. The T-800 tells John that it now understands why people love and why it can never return the emotion to others.
There was a deleted scene that explained how the T-800 now understands human emotions. In the scene, John and Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) reset the CPU chip in the Terminator's head to make him seem more human. Director James Cameron restored the scene in the film's extended edition.
Fun Fact: The deleted scene also features Linda Hamilton's twin sister Leslie as a body double in the mirror reflection. The mirror is just a hole through a wall with Linda Hamilton and a mechanical puppet on one side and her twin sister and Arnold Schwarzenegger on the other.
7. THE LION KING (1994)
In The Lion King, the grown up Nala (Moira Kelly) accidently bumps into adult Simba (Matthew Broderick) after he was exiled from the Pride Lands. But how did Nala run into Simba in the first place? Her expression suggests that she was surprised and confused to see him out in the wilderness, because she believed him to be dead.
There's a deleted scene that featured two extra songs called "The Madness of King Scar" and an early version of "Be Prepared." Apparently, Scar wanted Nala to be his new queen, but she refused. As a result, Scar banished Nala from her home. While the song was cut from the film, it was featured in the Broadway version.
8. INDEPENDENCE DAY (1996)
One of the biggest plot holes in Independence Day happens during its climax, when tech wiz David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) uploads a crippling computer virus with his trusty Mac PowerBook in order to disable the aliens' mothership. Since the film's release in 1996, fans have questioned how a laptop could be compatible with advanced alien technology.
Well, there's a deleted scene that shows how David formulated the virus when he was given access to the old alien spaceship from the Roswell crash in Area 51. Considering that he figured out the alien's countdown clock and how they were coordinating their attack, we'll just have to trust that he's also probably smart enough to attack their computer system directly.
9. IRON MAN (2008)
Just before Tony Stark takes Iron Man into combat for the first time, he's watching a TV news report about potential terrorists from his home in Malibu, California. In the next scene, he's flying to Afghanistan to stop the terrorist threat. But how does he get from Southern California to the Middle East so quickly? A deleted scene (above) explains how Stark used a party with supermodels at his Dubai house as a cover to travel to Afghanistan.
10. BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (2016)
At the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, an imprisoned Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) warns Batman that "the bell cannot be unrung. He's hungry. He's found us and he's coming!" Many people left the theater wondering why Luthor was in jail, and who he meant by "he."
Three days after the superhero movie was released in theaters, Warner Bros. actually released a deleted scene on YouTube that (somewhat) explained the ending. The scene featured Luthor and who many people assumed was supervillain Steppenwolf together with three mysterious Mother Boxes, as a S.W.A.T. team advances on the young billionaire. (Some people weren't sure whether it was Steppenwolf.) To avoid confusion, director Zack Snyder added the scene back into the extended edition home video release.


Yes, we all might learn something if he ever offered up anything but his own opinion. I'm sure he seems quite learned in your eyes however.
He wouldn't last a moment in any one of my survey classes. My professors would have his liver for lunch. If you're going to participate in any sort of argument, you had better have far superior ammunition to back up your rhetoric than "because I said so."
Sassy loves illegals and hates anyone who happens to be for the rule of law in our country. She lives on the border and thinks that illegals are better than citizens and that they are good and honest, hard working people that are misunderstood.
Well stated. That being said you are either part of the problem, or part of the solution. In this case those who invade and/or support any part of this invasion are the problem.
Well said madam pitbull well said.
Good to be back in the immigration forum. Spent a few days away from illegal-filled NoVA, refreshing to be at a place that illegal aliens haven't invaded.
Welcome back, you have been missed! Unfortunately, not even this board is immune from their presence.

Apni Party will struggle for empowerment of JK populations disempowered by abrogation of Statehood: Altaf Bukhari
Srinagar: Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari the President Jammu & Kashmir Apni Party on Monday pledged to continue with his struggle against the political disempowerment of people of Jammu and Kashmir that came to a full circle last year by turning a State into a Union Territory.
Addressing the Party's campaign convention at Khannabal in district Anantnag, Bukhari said that Apni party will ensure that J&K gets its Statehood back and till then the Party will work for protection of land and jobs for the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
"Apni Party considers August 5, 2019 as a black day in J&K's history. Not only Article 370 and 35-A were scrapped but our State was bifurcated into two Union Territories (UT) of J&K and Ladakh. Apni Party is committed to fight for restoration of special status in the Supreme Court but till that goal is achieved, we can't sit with our fingers crossed," Bukhari observed.
He said that the Apni Party hopes that the verdict of the Supreme Court comes as a sigh of relief for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. "Last year's political decisions have not been taken easily by the people of J&K. We can't wait for that verdict of the Hon'ble Supreme Court on the August 5, 2019 decisions. We will have to strive for protection of our domicile rights on land and jobs in order to have legal safeguards in our hands," Bukhari remarked.
He said that the Apni Party has adopted a two pronged strategy—one to follow the lawsuit for restoration of special status to J&K in the Apex Court and second to strive for comprehensive domicile laws for protection of land and jobs for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. "You must be aware about how we got domicile law for jobs replaced within 24 hours. Earlier only class fourth jobs were reserved for youth of J&K but we ensured that all the categories of jobs are fully reserved for the domiciles of J&K," he added.
Bukhari said the Apni Party has explicitly explained that the domicile law on lands in J&K is unacceptable to it and needs to be replaced with a new law as per the aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir. "Although there are ample safeguards for sale of agricultural land which can't be transferred to non-domiciles of J&K but we want a foolproof law for protection of lands for domiciles of J&K," he averred.
Bukhari said that the Apni Party will ensure that no commitments are made with the people which can't be fulfilled by it. "Our party does not believe in hollow slogans and we pledge to deliver on our promises made with the people," he added.
The campaign meeting witnessed enthusiastic party cadres who were a mix of young and old experienced workers assembled from different parts of the district.
Speaking on this occasion, senior vice president Ghulam Hassan Mir expressed hope and confidence that people of district Anantnag like other parts of J&K will come forward to support and vote for the Apni Party candidates in DDC elections so that they are empowered to work for the holistic development of this district.
He said: "Like its first two tiers including Panch-Sarpanch and BDC elections, DDC elections will complete the third tier of Panchayat Raj in J&K. These elections are purely meant for planning and development and those who are trying to politicize these polls are befooling the people," he observed.
He said those political parties who garnered votes to stop BJP in J&K and later on became its ally just for the sake of power and perks are now claiming to be champions of rights of people of J&K. "Few leaders of the Gupkar Declaration also enjoyed ministries in the NDA government. Those who are rattled with rising popularity of the Apni Party have remained part of BJP until recently just for sharing power and positions. People have not forgotten these historical facts," he remarked.
Apni Party General Secretary Rafi Ahmad Mir who also addressed the convention observed that the signatories of Gupkar Alliance have miserably failed to deliver on their promises made with the people. "The elected Members of Parliament belonging to Gupkar signatories who are now crying hoarse about the restoration of Article 370 and 35-A have miserably failed to safeguard the rights of J&K in the Parliament. They should have resigned by now, at least on moral grounds," Mir added.
He said that people in J&K have been befooled by misleading slogans but they can't be hoodwinked anymore. "Times have changed and I hope the people will reply to these political parties as they deserve in DDC elections," he said, while appealing to the people to vote and support the Apni Party.
The convention was also addressed by former legislator and Party's District President Anantnag Abdul Rahim Rather. Speaking on this occasion, Rather exuded confidence in people of district Anantnag saying that they are politically mature to differentiate between the political gimmicks and the sincerity of the purpose.
"People are fed up with the hollow slogans and want delivery on the ground. As you know, the Apni Party under the leadership of our president Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari has from day one committed pragmatism. And we will tirelessly work to realize our agenda of socio-economic and political empowerment of people of J&K," Rather remarked.
The convention was also addressed by Nazir Ahmad Wani (Dailgami), provincial secretary Kashmir. Besides him, Party's youth leader Imaad Rafi Mir also addressed the gathering.

Emerson Palmieri Claims Chelsea Have Already 'Learnt a Lot' Under Maurizio Sarri
Chelsea wide man Emerson Palmieri is already a fan of the Blues' new manager Maurizio Sarri, claiming that he has "learnt a lot" in a few short weeks of the Italian's management.
Emerson joined Chelsea from Roma in January but made just five Premier League appearances in the second half of last season under Antonio Conte, two of which were as a substitute.
The Brazilian is hopeful of getting more game under Sarri's regime, having come up against the 59-year-old when both were plying their trade in Serie A.
"He is a very intelligent manager and I obviously played against him in Italy," Emerson told chelseafc.com. "It's been a really positive start under him and the team have learnt a lot in a short space of time.
"Now it's our responsibility to keep working hard in training in order to understand his philosophy so that we can have a great season."
Emerson was speaking ahead of Chelsea's International Champions Cup match against Inter on Saturday, which the Blues won 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in Nice. Emerson was brought on as a 64th minute substitute for Marcos Alonso.
After arriving midway through last season, Emerson is ready to make more of an impact in his first full season at Stamford Bridge.
"Last season I arrived in January, halfway through the season, and it takes a little bit longer to adapt when you come in at that point," he said.
"But now I feel totally settled and I'm ready to give my all as quickly as possible ahead of the new season."
Emerson will hope to be involved when Sarri takes charge of his first competitive Chelsea match next weekend against Manchester City in the Community Shield.
