Ida Vitale (Montevideo, 2 de noviembre de 1923) es una poeta, traductora, ensayista, profesora y crítica literaria uruguaya miembro del movimiento artístico denominado "Generación del 45" y representante de la poesía "esencialista". Inscrita en la tradición de la vanguardia histórica americana, su poesía indaga en la alquimia del lenguaje y establece un encuentro entre una exacerbada percepción sensorial de raíz simbolista, siempre atenta al mundo natural, y la cristalización conceptual en su perfil más preciso. Ha recibido diversos premios, entre ellos Premio Octavio Paz (2009) el Premio Alfonso Reyes (2014) el Premio Reina Sofía (2015), el Premio Internacional de Poesía Federico García Lorca (2016), el Premio Max Jacob (2017) y el Premio Cervantes (2018 ) que valora "su lenguaje, uno de los más reconocidos en español".

Biografía
Forma parte de la cuarta generación de emigrantes italianos en Uruguay, donde se formó en el seno de una familia considerada culta y cosmopolita. En su infancia -recuerda a los 95 años- a su casa llegaban todos los días cuatro diarios que contenían sus respectivas páginas culturales, en las que era "normal" que se incluyeran poemas.

Estudió Humanidades en Uruguay y ejerció la profesión docente. Colaboró en el semanario Marcha; entre 1962 y 1964 dirigió la página literaria del diario uruguayo Época. Fue codirectora de la revista Clinamen e integró la dirección de la revista Maldoror.

Con la dictadura cívico-militar de Uruguay (1973-1985) se exilió a México en 1974 y, tras conocer a Octavio Paz, este la introdujo en el comité asesor de la revista Vuelta. Además participó en la fundación del periódico Uno Más Uno y continuó dedicada a la enseñanza, impartiendo un seminario en El Colegio de México. Amplió su obra cultivando el ensayo y la crítica literaria (que ejerció en El País, Marcha, Época, Jaque y, entre otras, en las revistas Clinamen, Asir, Maldoror, Crisis de Buenos Aires, Eco de Bogotá; Vuelta y Unomásuno, de México; El pez y la serpiente de Nicaragua...). Tradujo libros para el Fondo de Cultura Económica; impartió conferencias y lecturas, participó en jurados y colaboró en numerosos diarios.

Regresó a Uruguay en 1984  donde dirigió la página cultural del semanario Jaque.  "Dejamos México (con Fierro) cuando acá volvía la democracia y creíamos que era nuestra obligación volver", afirmó Vitale, quien permaneció solo un par de años en Uruguay y luego volvió a emigrar, aunque esta vez a Estados Unidos.

En 1989 se instaló en Austin (Texas) junto a su segundo marido, el también poeta Enrique Fierro, viajando esporádicamente a Montevideo. Fue nombrada doctora honoris causa por la Universidad de la República en 2010. En Texas permaneció 30 años hasta que en 2016 enviudó y decidió regresar a Montevideo donde reside en la actualidad.

En 2018 recibió el Premio Cervantes, cuyo acto de entrega tuvo lugar el 23 de abril de 2019 en la Universidad de Alcalá. En 2019 publicó sus memorias Shakespeare Palace. Mosaicos de mi vida en México.

Fue declarada Ciudadana Ilustre de Montevideo al cierre de la 42ª edición de la Feria Internacional del Libro, el 13 de octubre de 2019.

Obra literaria

Vitale se inscribe en la tradición de las vanguardias históricas latinoamericanas, su poesía indaga en la alquimia del lenguaje y establece un encuentro entre una exacerbada percepción sensorial de raíz simbolista, siempre atenta al mundo natural, y la cristalización conceptual en su perfil más preciso. Ella misma ha afirmado sobre la naturaleza de la búsqueda del poeta: "Las palabras son nómadas; la mala poesía las vuelve sedentarias". Es representante de la poesía esencialista. Su obra está caracterizada por poemas cortos,  una búsqueda del sentido de las palabras y un carácter metaliterario. Está considerada integrante de la Generación del 45, con otros escritores uruguayos como Juan Carlos Onetti, Carlos Maggi o Idea Vilariño, según definición del crítico literario Emir Rodríguez Monegal.

Como lectora prefiere obras históricas pero su descubrimiento de dos poetas uruguayas de entresiglos, Delmira Agustini y, en especial, un espíritu afín, María Eugenia Vaz Ferreira, así como de Gabriela Mistral la motivó a escribir poesía lírica. Sus dos grandes referentes fueron José Bergamín, su profesor en Montevideo, y Juan Ramón Jiménez, a quien conoció en persona.

Ha traducido del francés y del italiano a autores como Simone de Beauvoir, Benjamin Péret, Gaston Bachelard, Jacques Lafaye, Jules Supervielle, Jean Lacouture Mario Praz y Luigi Pirandello.

Poseidon introduces artificial intelligence engines into reduce platform
By Brenda on	 5th November 2018 Green Living, Green Technologies
The Poseidon Foundation ("Poseidon"), a non-profit that empowers everyone to participate in climate action, is delighted to introduce two artificial intelligence (AI) engines – Footprint-AI and Offset-AI – to its blockchain-based reduce platform that will significantly improve its efficiency and scalability.
The revolutionary reduce platform has been successfully trialled over the past 6 months and makes it possible to reduce the climate impact of a product or service by embedding carbon credits into transactions at the point of sale. These double-certified carbon credits are sourced from conservation projects that protect trees, support local communities and preserve vital biodiversity, such as in the Cordillera Azul national park project in the Peruvian Amazon, and are tracked from inception through to retirement on the Stellar blockchain.
Adding AI to this platform introduces a host of improvements:
Footprint-AI will automate carbon footprint analysis for products, services and organisations. This will result in a faster and more cost-effective onboarding of new customers, which will enable reduce to scale globally more effectively.
Offset-AI will ensure carbon credits are taken from projects that are most appropriate for each case. For example, consumers can choose to share their preferences with reduce and allow for a tailored offering.
Users of Poseidon's reduce platform will be able to log into the companion mobile app that launches later this month. The app will allow users to register with reduce and follow the impact of their micro-donations by viewing the conservation projects they support. In a later release scheduled for 2019, the reduce app will allow donations directly to conservation projects. With reduce, Poseidon empowers everyone to participate in climate action, creating a paradigm shift in the fight against climate change.
Laszlo Giricz, founder and CEO of the Poseidon Foundation said, "We're very excited to be introducing AI into the 'reduce' platform. Carbon footprint analysis takes a long time and involves numerous input parameters, but our new Footprint-AI makes this process more efficient, which will allow 'reduce' to scale globally more quickly. This AI engine will also be able to provide data that 'reduce' can analyse to educate users, as the platform will be able to make recommendations that encourage a more environmentally friendly lifestyle."
"Once 'reduce' analyses the climate impact of a product, service or organisation, our new Offset-AI will allow the platform to create a tailored solution unique to every user and evaluate what carbon credit is most appropriate to each individual situation. It will automatically consider any factor that might affect a user's preference for a certain carbon credit and then reduce the climate impact of purchases using credits from the most suitable conservation project."

Texas House Votes to Raise Legal Smoking Age to 21
Marco Di Lauro, Getty Images
Earlier today, the Texas House voted to raise the legal smoking age to 21 years old, exempting military personnel.
The Texas Tribune reports that Senate Bill 21 is slightly different from the version approved by the Texas Senate last month, but this one seems sure to pass the process to send the legislation to governor Abbott.
Now, it's not law yet. It'll need to go to a Senate committee first so they can look over changes made by the House. However, lawmakers feel confident it will make it to the governor's desk, where he'll either approve or veto
Representative John Zerwas who sponsored the bill said the idea behind this bill is to protect young adults who are highly susceptible to an addiction to tobacco
And in case you're wondering, yes - this also includes e-cigarettes and Vapes

COLONEL BECK passed through Berlin today, on his return journey from London to Warsaw. One of the secretaries in the Protocol Service met him at the station but he did not, as far as we know, have any conversation with any Minister of the Reich.
I hear from a well-informed quarter that M. Lipski had previously paid a visit to Herr von Weizsäcker. In the course of this interview, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is said to have asked the Polish Ambassador for further information as to the attitude of the Warsaw Government, and particularly with regard to Polish military measures. M. Lipski, without any loss of composure, is said to have replied that the measures in question were justified by the recent troop movements and the annexations which the Reich, without notifying the Polish Government, had just carried out, and that the units mobilized in Poland did not in any case exceed two army corps.

Denmark Lotto
Vikinglotto Changes to Be Rolled Out in Slovenia
Loterija Slovenije is set to introduce some changes to Vikinglotto, including the introduction of a brand new prize category. The changes will mean a greater number of winners in every draw.
Tonight's Estimated Vikinglotto Jackpot
€4.3 Million
Ticket sales are now closed...
Why not try Eurojackpot?
Tonight's Estimated Jackpot
€27 Million
The changes to Vikinglotto concern the introduction of a new '2+1' prize category. It means that any player that matches two of the main numbers plus the Viking number will win a prize. Currently, players have to match at least three main numbers to win anything.
Slovenia's prize structure is calculated on a pari-mutuel basis, meaning that the individual prize amounts vary from draw to draw. A portion of the money from ticket sales is transferred to the prize fund for every draw, and that money is split between the different prize categories according to set percentages.
The introduction of the new prize means that other prize amounts will also change, as the percentages allocated to each category will be altered to accommodate the new one. The table below shows the current prize structure versus what the new one will look like.
Prize Category Current % of Prize Fund New % of Prize Fund
5 + 1 22% 22%
5 11% 5%
4 + 1 8% 4%
4 14% 12%
2 + 1 - 22%
Note that the top two prizes (the 6+1 and 6+0 categories) are absent, as these are shared between all participating countries. The percentages in the table show how the remaining prize fund is split after Loterija Slovenije has made its contribution to the shared prize fund. See the Prizes page for more information.
As you can see from the table, all prize categories except for '5+1' are due to change, with a portion of the money earmarked for these prizes to be diverted to the new prize category.
To put this into context, an individual 'Match 5' winner from Slovenia won €2,437.90 in the 5th December draw, conducted under the current prize structure. Under the new structure, this prize would have been worth somewhere in the region of €1,100.
However, the changes will improve the overall odds of winning a prize. The odds of matching two numbers plus the Viking number are 1 in 58, slightly better than the 1 in 61 odds for matching three main numbers. So while other prizes may be reduced in value, there will be more winners in every draw.
These changes will come into effect from the Vikinglotto draw on 16th January and will only affect players in Slovenia. The prize structures in all other participating countries are not included in these changes.

Westborough Newsletter
Gagnon named Veterans Day grand marshal
Gerard (Ken) Gagnon
Photo/submitted
Town announces plans for Veterans Day
Westborough – Westborough has named Gerard (Ken) Gagnon as this year's Veterans Day grand marshal.
Gagnon is originally from Quincy. He attended grammar school there before going to Sacred Heart High School in Weymouth. After high school, he had a few different jobs, primarily doing surveying work for a company in Quincy. After two years, he said, "the draft board called, but I decided to join the Army for three years."
"When I signed up I was told by my recruiter I would be going to school in Fort Belvoir, Va., to be a construction surveyor," Gagnon recalled. "Boy was I misled!"
Instead he went to Fort Sill, Okla., and then to Fort Carson, Colo., to be assigned to a tank unit heading to Vietnam. After about a month his group was reassigned to go to Fort Belvoir to study construction survey. Upon completion, he was shipped out to Vietnam as a replacement person.
"I spent my time 'in country' doing construction work, as well as guard duty in fox holes and towers. That was an experience. Sitting in a fox hole looking into the night and hoping we didn't get attacked. The bulk of my time was spent building large tanks to hold gas or building barracks for the men and women to sleep in. We also created roads in the jungle for the trucks to travel on, which was quite the task."
When he returned to civilian life, he went to night school and earned two degrees under the G.I. Bill, while helping to raise three children. He found employment with Mass. Electric and spent his career doing engineering work for the company.
"Good fortune was with me, as I finished my career working in Westborough, the town where my wife and I have raised our children," Gagnon said. "We have spent almost 40 years here and are very happy and proud to have been a part of the community.
"To this day, I vividly remember how we were treated when we came home from Nam," he noted. "I want to thank everyone for the way you treat vets now."
Gagnon will take part in the Veterans Day ceremonies Sunday, Nov. 11, beginning at 9 a.m. at the VFW Post 9013 on Milk Street.
Stops on the parade route include memorials at Minuteman Park, Pine Grove Cemetery and the Forbes Municipal Building, where there will be services, wreath-laying and remarks.
Master of Ceremonies Al Tournas will present the speakers who include state representatives Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury), Carolyn Dykema (D-Holliston) and Danielle Gregoire (D-Marlborough), as well as Board of Selectmen Chair Leigh Emery and Gold Star Mother Rita Lee.
Westborough High School buglers John Pashapour and Michel Shaker will perform "Taps" and the a cappella ensemble Harmony in Heels led by Grace Desmond, Kaya Fung and Isabelle Seymour will sing the National Anthem.
At 11:11 a.m. at the Forbes Building, "Bells of Peace" will toll 21 times to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. The parade will end at the Westborough Rotary. Commander Raymond Fitzgerald offers collation for participants and invited guests at VFW Post 9013.

/**
 * An interface for pulse width and frequency measurements of digital signals.
 *

 * PulseInput (commonly known as "input capture") is a versatile module which
 * enables extraction of various timing information from a digital signal. There
 * are two main use cases: pulse duration measurement and frequency measurement.
 * In pulse width measurement we measure the duration of a positive ("high") or
 * negative ("low") pulse, i.e. the elapsed time between a rise and a fall or
 * vice versa. This mode is useful, for example, for decoding a PWM signal or
 * measuring the delay of a sonar return signal. In frequency measurement we
 * measure the duration between a rising edge to the following rising edge. This
 * gives us a momentary reading of a signal's frequency or period. This is
 * commonly used, for example, in conjunction with an optical or magnetic sensor
 * for measuring a turning shaft's speed.
 *

 * {@link PulseInput} instances are obtained by calling
 * {@link IOIO#openPulseInput(ioio.lib.api.DigitalInput.Spec, ioio.lib.api.PulseInput.ClockRate, ioio.lib.api.PulseInput.PulseMode, boolean)}
 * . When created, some important configuration decisions have to be made: the
 * precision (single or double), the clock rate and the mode of operation. Modes
 * are straightforward: {@link PulseMode#POSITIVE} is used for measuring a
 * positive pulse, {@link PulseMode#NEGATIVE} a negative pulse, and
 * {@link PulseMode#FREQ} / {@link PulseMode#FREQ_SCALE_4} /
 * {@link PulseMode#FREQ_SCALE_16} are used for measuring frequency. The
 * difference between the three scaling modes is that without scaling, the
 * frequency is determined by measurement of a single
 * (rising-edge-to-rising-edge) period. In x4 scaling, 4 consecutive periods are
 * measured and the time is divided by 4, providing some smoothing as well as
 * better resolution. Similarly for x16 scaling. Note that scaling affects the
 * range of signals to be measured, as discussed below.
 *

 * The choice of single vs. double-precision is important to understand: IOIO
 * internally uses either 16-bit counters or 32-bit counters for the timing. 16-
 * counters force us to either limit the maximum duration (and the minimum
 * frequency) or compromise accuracy as compared to 32-bit counters. However, if
 * you need many concurrent pulse measurements in your application, you may have
 * no choice but to use single-precision.
 *

 * The clock rate selection is important (and even critical when working in
 * single-precision) and requires the user to make some assumptions about the
 * nature of the measured signal. The higher the clock rate, the more precise
 * the measurement, but the longest pulse that can be measured decreases (or
 * lowest frequency that can be measured increases). Using the scaling option
 * when operating in frequency mode also affects these sizes. combinations. It
 * is always recommended to choose the most precise mode, which exceeds the
 * maximum expected pulse width (or inverse frequency). If a pulse is received
 * whom duration exceeds the longest allowed pulse, it will be "folded" into the
 * valid range and product garbage readings.
 *

 * The following table (sorted by longest pulse) summarizes all possible clock /
 * mode combinations. The table applies for single-precision operation.
 * For double-precision, simply multiply the longest pulse by 65536 and divide
 * the lowest frequency by the same amount. Interestingly, the number written in
 * [ms] units in the longest pulse column, roughly corresponds to the same
 * number in minutes when working with double precsion, since 1[min] =
 * 60000[ms].

 *

 * In some applications it is desirable to measure every incoming pulse rather
 * than repetitively query the result of the last measurement. For that purpose
 * the {@link #waitPulseGetDuration()} method exists: every incoming pulse width
 * is pushed into a small internal queue from which it can be read. The client
 * waits for data to be available, then reads it and data that comes in in the
 * meanwhile is stored. The queue has limited size, so it is important to read
 * quickly if no pulses are to be lost. Note that once a pulse is detected, the
 * next one must have its leading edge at least 5ms after the leading edge of
 * the current one, or else it will be skipped. This throttling has been
 * introduced on purpose, in order to prevent saturation the communication
 * channel when the input signal is very high frequency. Effectively, this means
 * that the maximum sample rate is 200Hz. This rate has been chosen as it
 * enables measure R/C servo signals without missing pulses.
 *
 *

 * Typical usage (servo signal pulse width measurement):
 *
 *

 * {@code
 * // Open pulse input at 16MHz, double-precision
 * PulseInput in = ioio.openPulseInput(3, PulseMode.POSITIVE);
 * ...
 * float widthSec = in.getDuration();
 * OR:
 * float widthSec = in.waitPulseGetDuration();
 * ...
 * in.close();  // pin 3 can now be used for something else.

 *

 *
 *

 * Typical usage (frequency measurement):
 *
 *

 * {@code
 * // Signal is known to be slightly over 150Hz. Single precision can be used.

SETTLE UP
Goldman Sachs Agreed to Two Pretty Huge Settlements in One Day
By Emily Jane Fox
By Joe Raedle/Getty Images.
Goldman Sachs had one heck of an expensive day settling up.
The banking behemoth agreed to a $5 billion settlement that will end a years-long investigation into its packaging of residential mortgage-backed securities in the lead-up to the financial crisis.
The agreement, a comeuppance for its role in the 2007-2008 mortgage meltdown announced by the bank Thursday, resolves claims with the Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group of the U.S. Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force and the Department of Justice, among others, though it's still subject to finalization. As of now, Goldman will pay a $2.385 billion civil monetary penalty, $875 million in cash payments, and provide $1.8 billion in consumer relief, which includes forgiveness for "underwater homeowners and distressed borrowers" and supporting debt restructuring and foreclosure prevention.
All of this will shave about $1.5 billion off fourth-quarter earnings, Goldman said.
And that wasn't even Goldman's only settlement of the day. Earlier Thursday, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced that the bank had agreed to shell out $15 million to settle claims of violating federal regulations through its securities lending.
On the securities settlement, a Goldman spokesperson told Reuters, "We are pleased to have resolved this matter with the S.E.C."
There seemed to be a lot of pleasure, or at least a fierce determination to stay within the bounds of painfully crafted corporate speech, over at Goldman headquarters Thursday, because that's just about what Goldman C.E.O. Lloyd Blankfein had to say in reference to the mortgage settlement to which the bank agreed. "We are pleased to have reached an agreement in principle to resolve these matters," he said in a statement. At least the very expensive Band-Aids were ripped off all at once.

Harlem/Morningside Heights
Harlem Developer Sues Homeowners for Complaining
By Jeremiah Budin Apr 11, 2014, 11:45am EDT
A Harlem developer has sued three residents of 1831 Madison Avenue for defamation and interference after the residents wrote a letter complaining about the building's shoddy construction and repairs, got 70 other residents of the building to sign it, and sent it to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and various politicians, the Daily News reports.
The lawsuit was filed by Madison Park Development Associates, headed by BFC Partners managing principal Don Capoccia, who has also had a somewhat antagonistic relationship with buyers at his Downtown Brooklyn project Toren, as well as... well, most of the people he seems to come in contact with. (Capoccia told The Real Deal in 2008, "There isn't a more anti-development city in the world than New York. Once a New Yorker gets his or her housing situation worked out, it's basically, 'Fuck everyone else.'") He claims that the residents of 1831 Madison — a city-subsidized co-op designated for middle-income New Yorkers — that drafted the letter are just trying to get improvements for their own apartments. His lawsuit seeks a $1.25 million judgment as well as $1 million from each defendant.
The residents, on the other hand, claim that are trying to get improvements — improvements like non-leaking ceilings, which they say have been a problem since the building was constructed in 2002 with city financing. (And since Capoccia used non-union contractors on the allegedly poorly constructed building, he's now in it with the unions, too.) As for the residents, they seem a little stunned by the $4.25 million suit. Said one, a retired legal secretary: "I can't fight him and I can't win. All I ever wanted was a safe, clean home. That is what the city promised me and that is all I have ever asked for. I don't even sleep at night now. I'm on social security. What does he want? $1 million? How am I going to get $1 million?"

Don't be fooled — Asian American voters are more progressive than you might think
Timmy Lu and Jane Kim
June 17, 2022 Updated: June 20, 2022 12:44 p.m.
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and former Superior Court Judge Julie Tang campaign in Chinatown.
Jessica Christian / The Chronicle
For months leading up to the recall of District Attorney Chesa Boudin, national and local media focused on San Francisco's Asian American community as one of the driving forces behind the campaign. And, yes, in the end, surveys show a majority of the city's Asian American voters did favor his recall.
But is Asian American support for Proposition H a bellwether, as some pundits state, that California's Asian American community is right-leaning and that our community supports a "tough on crime" approach to law enforcement?
Not even close.
According to the Public Policy Institute of California, Asian American voters are the most liberal voting bloc of all racial groups in the state. In a 2021 paper, political scientist Janelle Wong and the Pew Research Center's Sono Shah wrote that Asian Americans are largely united around progressive solutions like taxing the wealthy, climate change mitigation and government-sponsored health care. On the vast majority of issues, they wrote, "Political differences within the Asian American community are between those who are progressive and those who are even more so."
The same progressive outlook holds true on criminal justice as well. A survey conducted in advance of the 2020 elections by the California nonprofit Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Civic Empowerment Education Fund found that more than two-thirds of Chinese American voters living in the state's suburbs (including San Francisco's Sunset and Richmond Districts) supported policing reforms, including increasing officer accountability and de-escalation training. Even with the increase in anti-Asian violence, a plurality of 46% still supported redirecting some police funds toward community programs and anti-poverty initiatives.
So what explains the disconnect between what we hear voters support and recent election results?
For starters, a well-funded and tech-savvy social media and media campaign. The pro-recall movement was backed by a $7 million campaign raised by corporate interests, real estate groups and billionaires to spread lies and disinformation, which in part, targeted Chinese American voters, who make up the overwhelming majority of the Asian American community in San Francisco. Pro-recall organizers knew there was very real anger and fear within the Asian American community, due to the rise in anti-Asian violence, and leveraged that discontent in their messaging to support the recall. For example, recall proponents used Chinese social media platforms like WeChat to spread misinformation that pinned Boudin as the source of all of San Francisco's woes.
To overcome a well-funded, fear-mongering campaign that targeted Asian American voters, anti-recall organizers understood that they couldn't just blast out corrective information. Instead, they leaned into the complex and earnest debates taking place within Asian American communities about the causes of and solutions to anti-Asian racism, violence and safety concerns. Grassroots organizations led extensive door-to-door outreach and phone banking to deepen conversations with Asian Americans about solutions for public safety, police reform and the role of elected officials.
As campaign volunteers in the anti-recall effort and members of California Working Families Party, we knocked on doors of undecided voters in Chinatown and listened to what those voters had to say. The working-class, immigrant Chinese seniors and parents we talked to understood that recalling Boudin wouldn't make them safer or decrease crime. Some voters even said it was unfair to pin long-standing city challenges on Boudin. However, we also found that those who supported the recall were doing so as a way to express their frustration and to send a message that change is needed.
It takes time and investment to undo the damage of a misinformation campaign and address the frustration and harm deeply felt in the Chinese American community — something anti-recall organizers ultimately did not have enough of. At the doors and in voter surveys, we repeatedly heard voters express support for progressive criminal justice reforms and police accountability. However, a short-term electoral campaign could not meaningfully push back on an avalanche of misinformation that said the cause of anti-Asian violence and property crime was lack of leadership at the District Attorney's Office.
The Asian American community can be a progressive political force at the polls. However, political leaders, parties and organizations must make some serious long-term and sustained investments in our communities — not just when they need our votes. This includes violence prevention, expanding victim services and building cross-racial solidarity. Asian Americans are not a monolith, and elected officials and candidates would do well to understand the nuanced and varying opinions of our communities, especially when it comes to charged issues like policing and crime.
Despite Boudin's advances in victims' services and staffing to support Asian American communities, many immigrant voters continued to feel understandably invisible in the face of violence and inequality. Voters we talked to in fact do want real solutions, which we found was an important thread connecting both opponents and supporters of the recall.
Asian Americans are ready to be politically engaged across a range of progressive issues. It's time for everyone else to understand this, too.
Timmy Lu is the founder of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders for Civic Empowerment. Jane Kim is the state director of the California Working Families Party.

Germany head home, a little delayed, for the big party in Berlin
Germany's World Cup heroes are flying home for a grand reception in Berlin, albeit a little late. The plane was halted for two hours on the tarmac in Brazil after suspected damage to the aircraft's protective lacquering.
The victorious German national football team and its entourage met with a rare snag on their home from Brazil on Monday evening.
Players, staff and family members had to wait an extra two hours to take off from Rio de Janeiro after the plane fuselage lacquering was scratched during loading. Technical experts were called in to examine the damage, with the plane finally pronounced fit to fly.
The delay didn't appear to affect the mood of dressing room joker Lukas Podolski, who tweeted a selfie from the cockpit wearing a pilot's cap.
The plane, Lufthansa Flight 2014, was due to touch down at Berlin's Tegel Airport between 10 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. local time.
After that, the team can expect a rousing reception from fans along Berlin's Fan Mile, where tens of thousands of fans were expected to celebrate Germany's fourth lifting of the World Cup - and its first since reunification. Germany supporters will get a chance to see more of the team when they appear on a specially-constructed platform by the Brandenburg Gate.
Germany's Finance Ministry has said it will this week issue a special "Germany World Cup champion" postage stamp. Indeed, officials were so confident of victory that five million were said to have been printed ahead of the final.
"We always firmly believed the German team would win," a ministry spokeswoman said on Monday.
The German media on Monday showered Joachim Löw's side with praise for after their 1-0 extra time win against Argentina, in particular winning goal scorer "Super Mario" Götze. The player wasn't even born when Germany last won in 1990, having also defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final.

EFCC, INTERPOL sign MoU on corruption
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, with the International Police, INTERPOL.
The memorandum is part of a collaboration aimed at tackling corruption in the country.
The acting Chairman of EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, received the INTERPOL delegate led by Commissioner of Police, Shola Subair, CP INTERPOL, at the EFCC Headquarters, Jabi, Abuja on Friday and expressed his appreciation for the initiative.
He said the move will go a long way in checkmating the activities of fraudsters across the globe and Nigeria in particular.
Magu said the MoU will further create a greater technical teamwork and allow the EFCC to be connected to the 194 member countries of the organisation, stressing the need for the Nigerian leading anti-graft agency's staff to be seconded to the Interpol.
Magu also used the opportunity to explain how the Database can be used in tracing the movement of looters in an out of the country and also how this collaboration will give EFCC access to the 194 member countries of the Interpol.
"All sort of criminality is taking place and looters are everywhere, now that the EFCC is going for extradition of looters outside the country, there is no better time than now, EFCC will use it opportunity judiciously", Magu said, adding that the MoU will strengthen the EFCC's efforts in areas of monitoring illegal assets.
He further added that, with the elections fast approaching, "the EFCC is on the watch out. We would not fold our hands and allow people move illicit funds indiscriminately in the name of vote buying.
Nigeria is blessed with both human and natural resources. It is high time the generality of Nigerians is rewarded for God-given natural resources that abound".
Subair, who led the delegation, stressed the importance of the INTERPOL/EFCC partnership, as it would further strengthen the anti-corruption efforts of the anti-graft agency.
He said: "INTERPOL provides a wide range of policing expertise and capabilities, supporting three main crime programmes: Counter-terrorism, Cybercrime, Organized and Emerging Crimes. We are mobilising for the enlistment of all law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, and we consider to kick-start the assignment at the EFCC."

'You're doing it, he's just talking about it': Canadian author slams Australia's 'insane and racist' treatment of refugees and compares it to Donald Trump's plan to build a Mexican wall
Naomi Klein called Australia's treatment of refugees 'insane and racist'
She said Donald Trump is talking about such plans, we're living them out
The presidential hopeful plans to build a wall between the US and Mexico
The Canadian journalist made the comparison on Monday's Q&A program
By Rachel Eddie For Daily Mail Australia

Australia has been accused of living-out Donald Trump's 'racist and insane' plan to build a wall between the US and Mexico through our hard-line treatment of refugees.
Canadian activist journalist and author Naomi Klein made the comparison on Monday night's ABC QandA program as panellists discussed the impending presidential election and Australia's asylum seeker policy.
'I think that Donald Trump talking about building the wall with Mexico is insane and racist, but I think what Australia is doing on Manus and Nauru is as well,' Ms Klein told the live audience, to applause.
Canadian activist journalist and author Naomi Klein has accused Australia of being as 'insane and racist' as Donald Trump's plan to build a wall between the US and Mexico
'You're doing it. He's just talking about it.'
Asylum seekers who attempt to flee by boat are turned back or processed offshore at Nauru or Manus Islands and will never be resettled in Australia, according to government and opposition policy.
Malcolm Turnbull's support slumps again - with Bill... Asylum seekers are 'marrying workers at the Manus Island...
The Coalition last week announced plans to block any refugee who once attempted to reach Australia by boat from ever visiting the country again, even decades down the track on a tourist or working visa.
Ms Klein's comparison was echoed by a young audience member, who directly asked the panel: 'What is the difference between Australia's operation sovereign borders and Donald Trump's wall?'

Liberal Senator James Paterson said people on Manus and Nauru were able to move through the islands because they live in 'open centres', and was debated by Labor's Anthony Albanese.
Ms Klein, author of This Changes Everything, said seeking asylum was a 'core human right'.
'I think this country has to be better than this,' she said.
'I spent the morning as part of the Peace Price festivities at Cabramatta High School, and there were students from 42 countries of origin. And they put on this absolutely beautiful celebration of diversity, cultural diversity, language diversity. And I just think we should put them in charge.'
Ms Klein said both major parties had focussed too heavily on sending a message to people smugglers, which missed the point.
'What message are you sending refugees? What message are you sending about Australia? And the implication that the only way people die is at sea. They die in warzones when they can't flee. That's why we welcome refugees.'

Sam Smith Premieres New Song "How Do You Sleep?"
British singer-songwriter Sam Smith is back with a new song "How Do You Sleep?", his first track of 2019.
On July 9, he teased the song on Twitter and Instagram. The song is the follow-up to "Dancing with a Stranger", collaboration with Normani.
He co-wrote the song with Savan Kotecha, Max Martin and Ilya. The accompanying music video was directed by Grant Singer. In the clip, he dances with male dancers. Choreography by Parris Goebel.
"This year, both personally and musically, I feel so free," Sam Smith said ahead of the video release. "More than ever I have had so much fun making this record and this video. Time to dance darlings."
Back in January, he told Zayne Lowe (Beats 1 Radio show) about hint of the new song, he wanted to move on from straight heartbreak ballads. And he said it difficult to write lyrics about happy relationships which 'hasn't been my experience'.

Transport Tycoon () — гра жанру бізнес-симулятор, випущена компанією MicroProse в 1994 році на платформах MS-DOS та Macintosh.
Також була портована на ігрові консолі Sony PlayStation та Sega Saturn.

Гравець виступає в ролі голови транспортної компанії, ціль якого розбудувати власну інфраструктуру для сполучення різних містечок та промислових об'єктів і налагодити стабільну прибуткову систему перевезень.
Також присутні інші компанії-конкуренти, з якими треба конкурувати за локальний ринок перевезень.

Гра представлена в двовимірному ізометричному вигляді.
Окрім однокористувацького режиму також доступна можливість грати по модему та локальній мережі.
Ігровим дизайном та програмуванням займався Кріс Сойєр, графічну частину виконав Саймон Фостер, а музичне оформлення Джон Брумхолл.

В 1995 році вийшла Transport Tycoon Deluxe — розширена версія, яка внесла багато змін в оригінальну гру та додала нові ігрові функції.
Згодом ця версія лягла в основу проекту OpenTTD — повністю відкритого римейку з розширенням технічних та ігрових можливостей.

В 2013 році вийшли версії для Android та iOS, проте вони не є портами а швидше переробкою гри.
Графічні елементи в цих версіях використані з іншої гри Кріса Сойєра — Locomotion.

Ігровий процес
Щоб почати створювати власну транспортну імперію, гравець має будувати транспортні маршрути.
Маршрути складаються зі станцій в містечках або біля індустріальних об'єктів та ділянок дорожнього полотна або залізниці (у разі, якщо їх десь не вистачає).
Один транспортний маршрут може використовувати декілька різних форм транспортування, з'єднаних в один ланцюг станціями (напр. вантажівка→потяг→корабель).

Гравець починає гру з запозиченими на будівництво інфраструктури грошима, і щомісяця йому потрібно гасити заборгованість включаючи відсотки, допоки позика не буде вичерпаною.
По мірі отримання доходів гравець вирішує, чи розширювати йому транспортні маршрути, чи збільшувати інтенсивність використання уже готових.

Вся транспортна компанія, а також кожна індивідуальна станція мають власний рейтинг, що значною марою залежить від ефективності перевезення товарів між станціями.
Вищий рейтинг приваблює більше клієнтів, і відповідно дає більше прибутку та більше навантаження на станцію.

Ігрове змагання продовжується сто років — починаючи з 1930-го та закінчуючи 2030 роком.
По мірі плину часу стають доступними нові корисні технології, з'являються нові покращені транспортні засоби (але іноді вони менш надійні), що заміняють собою застарілі.
Як приклад, у 1999 стає доступною монорейка, що потребує окремої від залізниці рейкової колії.

Якщо гравець залишається в бізнесі до 2030-го року, він стає переможцем, його ім'я входить в ігровий «Зал слави».
Далі гра не зупиняється (але поточний рік зупиняється на 2030-му), і якщо гравець бажає, він може грати далі скільки захоче.
Загальний час, який іде на програвання 100-річного циклу займає близько 40 ігрових годин (якщо не користуватись функцією прискорення).
Гравець може зберігати стани прогресу в будь-якій точці та робити скільки забажає різних зберігань.

Містечка на мапі вже мають свої дорожні шляхи, але частіше за все їх недостатньо.
Особливо шляхів що з'єднують різні міста, інфраструктурні об'єкти або зони з природними ресурсами (ліс, вугілля тощо).

Щоб запустити транспортний засоби в маршрут, потрібно побудувати депо відповідного типу, що буде під'єднано до цього маршруту.
Кожен транспортний засіб компанії приєднаний до свого депо, в якому він може ремонтуватись, бути проданим, або просто зберігатись до того часу, коли він знадобиться.
Гроші заробляються на тому, що транспортні засоби компанії (автобуси, вантажівки, потяги, літак, кораблі) перевозять пасажирів від одних станцій до інших, а також різні товари в сировину туди, де на них є попит.
Попит визначається ділянкою навколо станції (напр. в місті буде попит на пасажирів, пошту, товари).
Дохід залежить від швидкості доставки, відстані, типу товару та загальної кількості доставок.
Наприклад, доставка пошти буде прибутковою лише на коротких відстанях, або дуже швидко на довгих відстанях, тобто літаком.
З іншого боку, вугілля дуже довго падає в ціні, і тому його вигідно возити дуже багато на великі відстані потягом.

Іноді з новин можна дізнатись, що хтось готовий платити субсидії першій транспортній компанії, яка зробить потрібну йому доставку.
Це спонукає скоріше до розширення своїх транспортних маршрутів, ніж до фокусування на прибутковості тільки декількох з них.

У грі є поняття «місцевих органів влади» для кожного міста.
І кожне місто має рейтинги всіх транспортних компаній, заснований на їхніх можливостях та рівні їхнього сервісу.
Також в рейтинги включається масштаб локальної вирубки лісів як негативний наслідок її діяльності (гравець може висаджувати новий ліс для зменшення цього ефекту).
Якщо рейтинги впадуть занадто низько, то місто може заборонити будь-які будівельні роботи в своїх межах.

З часом ігрові міста розбудовуються та розширюються під впливом різних економічних факторів.
Також з'являються нові індустріальні потреби та розгортаються пропозиції від нових ресурсних джерел.
На противагу, деякі ресурсні джерела вичерпуються а індустріальні об'єкти згортають свою діяльність через відсутність транспортних можливостей.

Transport Tycoon Deluxe

Розширена версія Transport Tycoon Deluxe внесла в класичний ігровий процес деякі зміни, основною з яких є робота залізничних сигналів.
Оригінальна версія дозволяла використовувати тільки двонаправлені сигнали, які дозволяли проходити потягу в обох напрямках.
Deluxe версія додала однонаправлені сигнали, що пропускають потяг тільки в одному напрямку.
Це внесло в геймплей досить значні зміни, так як нові однонаправлені сигнали змогли вирівняти рух на коліях.
З ними можна будувати дорожню систему, в якій неможливі ситуації, коли різні потяги рухаються по одній колії один в сторону одного.

Нові однонаправлені сигнали дозволили будувати односторонні колії, які дають гравцю значно більше можливостей контролю за всією транспортною мережею.
Гравець може будувати ефективні транспортні маршрути, в яких не буде можливості, щоб потяг поїхав «неправильним» шляхом.
Комбінуючи однонаправлені та двонаправлені сигнали, можна робити комутаційні вузли, перехрестя та інші корисні схеми розвантаження маршрутів.
Також це відкрило можливості для будування залізничних систем «континентального» типу шляхом включення в односторонню колію контрольованого руху в обох напрямках, та поєдання її з іншими односторонніми коліями.
Така стратегія дуже корисна, так як дозволяє значно збільшити щільність перевезення товарів на великі відстані по одній колії.

В Deluxe версії до класичного помірного кліматичного поясу також були додані тропічний, арктичний та жартівливий «іграшковий» кліматичний пояс.
Нові оточення мають деякі нові індустріальні об'єкти та нові завдання.
Наприклад, міста в арктичній зоні не будуть розвиватись без регулярної доставки їжі так само, як в тропічній зоні міста не будуть розвиватись без стабільного доступу до свіжої води.
Також час ігрового циклу зсунувся на двадцять років вперед, і тепер проходить з 1950-го до 2050-го року.

Через проблеми із використанням назв торгових марок в іменах реальних транспортних засобів, які виникли після релізу оригінальної гри, в Deluxe версії всі назви змінені на вигадані.
Але гравець може змінювати назви своїх транспортних засобів та станцій на такі, які він забажає.
Також гравець може змінювати назви міст, що може допомогти в більшій персоналізації гри.

Критика
Рецензент з ігрового журналу Next Generation дав DOS версії гри 4/5 балів, та назвав її «найкращим економічним симулятором з часів Civilization». Додавши: «Новий Transport Tycoon від Microprose має всі можливості Railroad Tycoon від Сіда Меєра, змішані з виглядом та простотою SimCity 2000 від Maxis. Але також гра є платформою для нового ряду можливостей… все це дає їй відчуття самодостатності».

Графіка та музичний супровід гри були названі «досить приємними». Відзначались також «швидке звикання до ігрового процесу» та «реалістична модель зростання міст і невеличких населених пунктів».

Two Ohio activists have discovered that e-voting machines made by Election Systems and Software and used across the country produce time-stamped paper trails that permit the reconstruction of an election's results — including allowing voter names to be matched to their actual votes.
Ohio law permits anyone to walk into a county election office and obtain two crucial documents: a list of voters in the order they voted, and a time-stamped list of the actual votes. "We simply take the two pieces of paper together, merge them, and then we have which voter voted and in which way," said James Moyer, a longtime privacy activist and poll worker who lives in Columbus, Ohio.
Once the two documents are merged, it's easy enough to say that the first voter who signed in is very likely going to be responsible for the first vote cast, and so on.
David Wagner, a professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, said electronic storage of votes in the order that voters cast them is a recurring problem with e-voting machines.

That one year option is the one he has chose to knock back.
On Friday, James informed the Cavs that he was not exercising his $35.6 million option and becoming a free agent. They unloaded Timofey Mozgov's four-year, $64 million contract and D'Angelo Russell on the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for the 27th pick in the 2017 draft and Brook Lopez's expiring contract. He led the outmatched Cavaliers to a stunning NBA Finals upset in 2016 but had seemingly grown frustrated in recent months at Cleveland's inability to build a championship calibre supporting cast around him or to mount a credible challenge to the Golden State Warriors juggernaut. While Golden State's dynasty remain alive and Kevin Durant's new contract ensures the Warriors will be title contenders for at least one more year, Golden State won't be able to keep their team together for much longer. As Kobe Bryant's career came to an end, so did the success of the Lakers. And so it has proved once again as they reel in the biggest fish of them all.
The secondary victor of LeBron's decision to leave Cleveland for Los Angeles?
If James would have signed with Philly he would have helped improve an already stingy Sixers defense, which finished 11th in OPG. West structure and re-seed all 16 teams at the beginning of the playoffs.
James will factor in family concerns - he has three children, and his oldest son is a rising hoops star - into the choice of where he plays next.
Sports, Kawhi is seeking a trade out of San Antonio to preferably suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Lonzo Ball, despite his failings as a shooter, is wonderful at seeing the whole court.
James has also endured a fractious relationship with Cavaliers fans over the years.
James alone can change a conference - no non-LeBron team has made the Finals in the Eastern Conference since 2010.
The Clippers are reportedly one of the five teams to make an offer to San Antonio for Leonard. The All-Star is unhappy and spent much of the season injured but refused to even attend his team's play-off games from the sidelines.
A person with knowledge of the situation says the Dallas Mavericks are making another run at DeAndre Jordan, three years after the center jilted them in free agency to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers. After a second round elimination to the Boston Celtics, the Sixers made it clear that they want to sign a star free agent this summer.
Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Paul George was also reported to hop on to Hollywood before staying in OKC on a 4-year, $137 million deal.
