The Cabaret Cornichon (English: Gherkin cabaret) was a Swiss cabaret company.

It existed from 1934 to 1951 and was founded by Otto Weissert, Walter Lesch, Emil Hegetschweiler and Alois Carigiet. They were later joined by, among others, Max Werner Lenz, Elsie Attenhofer, Voli Geiler, Margrit Rainer, Ruedi Walter, Heinrich Gretler, Zarli Carigiet, Karl Meier and Alfred Rasser. The musical director was the pianist, Nico Kaufmann. From autumn 1950 to spring of 1951, Margrit Läubli appeared in the last programs of Cabaret Cornichon.

The Cabaret Cornichon was essentially an entertainment cabaret but, inspired by the ideals of what later became known as 'Geistige Landesverteidigung' ('national' spiritual defence), it also opposed fascism and Nazism. The term "Geistige Landesverteidigung" refers to the strong and widespread political will of the Swiss to defend the country's independence and democratic constitution against the Nazis. The cabaret was established in opposition to the right-wing organization known as the 'Frontenbewegung', whose views mirrored those of the National Socialist Party in Germany.

After the Second World War, the cabaret split up amid the political tensions of the Cold War. While some of its members sided with the political left, those in opposition founded the Cabaret Fédéral in 1949.

It Gets Too Cold: Many people make the mistake of thinking that turning the thermostat to the lowest setting is going to make the home colder, faster. However, this isn't the case at all. What is actually going to happen is that the air conditioner is going to run longer to get to that temperature. Once it reaches that setting, it is going to be too cold in your home to actually be comfortable, which just means that a ton of energy has been wasted.
It Makes the AC Work Harder: Since the AC needs to be running longer to get to the lower setting, it means that the AC is going to be working harder than if you set it at a higher temperature so that it can turn off sooner. This is especially important to consider when you have a new AC system in your home. After all, you want your investment to last as long as possible, which won't be possible if the AC is working hard, thus running into problems a lot sooner than necessary.
It Costs More: Paying more for your energy bill every month is not going to be worth running your AC to the point where it becomes too cold in your home. This is especially true after you have already spent a ton of money on having the AC installed in your home. Save yourself from future costs by keeping the thermostat at a higher temperature so that your home is comfortable while not costing you too much in energy costs at the end of every month.
The best way to utilize your new AC is to set the thermostat to 78 degrees, which is the best way to save on energy costs. However, you can lower it slightly during times when you are home while raising it more at night when it cools down and during times when you are not going to be home. For more help, contact a home air conditioning installation expert.

Nnamdi Kanu, Peter Obi, Ike Ekweremadu named 2016 Distinguished Igbo Personalities
Posted by News Express | 16 December 2016 | 2,302 times
Peter Obi.
Three Igbo political leaders have been named Distinguished Igbo Personalities of The Year 2016 by a coalition of activists from the South East, They are separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu, immediate past Anambra State Governor Peter Gregory Obi, and incumbent Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu.
The honour was made public via a statement by the International Society for Civil Liberties and the Rule of Law (Intersociety) and the Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations.
The statement, issued recently in Onitsha, said about the honourees:
Nnamdi Kanu: In addition to renewal of the prestigious Prisoner-of-Conscience Award, bestowed on Mr. Nnamdi Kanu who is leader of Radio Biafra London (RBL) and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) World Wide, earlier this year; we have again resolved to name him as one of the Three Igbo Distinguished Personalities of the Year 2016. These are in recognition of his nonviolent and peaceful campaign for the emancipation of the Igbo Race using nonviolent and peaceful means.
Against all odds, he has spent 14 months in detention without trial and his group IPOB has lost over 250 of its members and supporters to the militarist Administration of Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari. Over 150 of his members are presently languishing in various prisons and other detention centres including DSS dungeons across the country on trumped-up criminal accusations. More than 300 of his members and supporters were also deadly shot and battered. The most striking aspect of Kanu's advocacy style that gladdens our heart is his pacifist approach, in spite of State provocations and use of deadly violence in policing his group's non violent activities.
Peter Gregory Obi: He is the former Governor of Anambra State and true embodiment of Peopling Governance, Input and Output Legitimacies. Mr. Peter Obi is the first of its kind in recent Nigerian political and public governance epoch. If his type is raised gubernatorially in eighteen States of Nigeria's 36 States; then the entire country will automatically experience social, economic and political transformation of rapid and scientific proportions.
What Mr. Peter Obi was to Anambra State when he held sway was what then Governor Bill Clinton was to the State of Arkansas in the United States in 1980s; by raising his State to high greatness. Former Governor Obi was chosen as the Second Igbo Distinguished Personality of the Year 2016, as a pace setter and formidable standard of performance measurement for incumbent and upcoming elected public office holders particularly the governors or Federal elected public office holders. Apart from tremendous social and infrastructural transformation of Anambra State when he held sway; he was and still is the only governor that left his State with at least N86 Billion worth of cash and investments and in surplus digits. He was the only governor who refused to mortgage his State into serial and slavish indebtedness. While a rich State like Lagos State incurred over N500 Billion debts till date, Anambra State under Obi reduced its previous local and foreign debt overhang to N11 Billion and refused to borrow.
Ikechukwu Ekweremadu: Barr Ike Ekweremadu is chosen as the Third Igbo Distinguished Personality of the Year 2016 on account of his bold and courageous disposition against all odds since June 2015, in his capacity as the Deputy Senate President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and highest Igbo Federal Lawmaker. He towered and withstood the executive persecution and leprous treatment simply because he came from a federal opposition party and insisted that the Igbo Race is too important in Nigerian political landscape to be left out in the sharing of the principal leadership positions of the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria. He has also made an imprint in the defence of Igbo interests; in spite of threats and blackmails from the Executive Arm since June 2015. Senator Ekweremadu's position as it affects the collective interests of the Igbo Race particularly against the killing of innocent and defenceless Igbo citizens by security forces and the Fulani Janjaweed is very encouraging and endearing.
With this recognition and the Three Igbo Distinguished Personalities, distinguishing themselves in their three respective fields of social, governance and legislative advocacies and performances; there is most likely a light at the end of the tunnel for the Igbo Race. This recognition is not award bestowment but rather an appreciation of the fact that the triplet Moses may most likely have landed again in Igbo Land!

Controversial Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as "America's Toughest Sheriff," has enlisted action film star Steven Seagal to lead a training exercise for members of his armed volunteer posse on how to respond to a school shooting.
The training event will involve six instructors leading 40 armed volunteers through a simulated shooting, with teenagers acting as students, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
Seagal will lead the training run, focusing on various aspects of shooting scene management, including "entry room tactics and hand-to-hand tactics," according to Arpaio's office.
Arpaio, known for his tough stance on illegal immigration, dispatched members of his volunteer posse to patrol schools last month in the wake of the gun rampage that killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school in December.
Those murders touched off a renewed debate over gun violence in America and prompted National Rifle Association head Wayne LaPierre to advocate placing armed security guards at schools.
President Barack Obama has proposed the most sweeping package of gun-control measures in generations, calling for a ban on assault weapons and other steps likely to face a tough ride in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
The Arizona event will take place at a school campus in the Phoenix suburb of Fountain Hills. Semi-automatic weapons and handguns firing marking rounds will be used.
It will not be Seagal's first foray into law enforcement. In 2011, he was sworn in as a sheriff's deputy in Texas' Hudspeth County, which runs along the Rio Grande, after expressing an interest in patrolling the border. He also appeared in a reality show detailing his work as a reserve deputy in New Orleans.
Arpaio's 3,450-strong posse of unpaid men and women has for years helped the sheriff target drunk drivers and illegal immigrants, and chase down fathers behind on child support.
Last year, Arpaio sent posse members to Hawaii to investigate the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate at the request of local Tea Party activists – a key Arpaio constituency.

Q: "I can do it too" Can you say

I can do it too

meaning that I can also do what someone else just did?
I had an argument with my mate who is a native speaker (or that's what she claims). I was pretty sure you can say it like that but she said you can't.

A: There is nothing grammatically wrong with "I can do it too." Without a context, of course, one can't know what the "it" refers to, but as long as the listener knows the reference there is no problem. It is also correct to say "I can do that too" and "I can do this too."
"I know you can change the bicycle tire, but can you change the chain?"
"Yes, I can do that too."
Suppose that your friend David is juggling six balls and someone says "David is juggling 6 balls."
Since the context is clear it would be correct to say, "I can do it too."
Then you do it and decide to add yet another ball as you say "I can do this too."

A:
I can do it too.

is understandable and is used to signify that the speaker can also perform an action. It gets used by younger children and people making a point that something is no big deal.

Often instead, one might say

I can do that too.
  I can do that also.

since whatever is being discussed is usually away from the speaker.

A: It depends on the context, but in most cases, no, that sentence is not going to be idiomatic.
The problem is the pronoun "it." "It" is used only in cases where there is a clear grammatical antecedent. For example:
You silently watch someone juggle three chainsaws. You would say:

I can do that, too.

You could not use "it" in this sentence, because there is no grammatical antecedent. Think of it this way: the word "that" is referring the listener out into the real world; the word "it" is only referring to something earlier in the sentence. In grammatical terms, "that" is a demonstrative pronoun, and "it" is a personal pronoun.
Even if you were responding to another person's sentence, it would be more idiomatic to say "that" instead of "it." For example:

I can juggle chainsaws, you know.
Yeah, I can do that too.

The only time you would be likely to use "it" in this context is where it is acting as a replacement for a noun or noun phrase:

Juggling chainsaws is hard, but I can do it.
Is juggling chainsaws hard? Yes, but I can do it.
Is it hard to juggle chainsaws? Yes, but I'll bet I could do it if I tried.

If you use the sentence as you suggested:

I can do it.

without any obvious context, people will either be confused, or they will think you mean one of two things:
1) You can achieve your goals; or
2) You can have sex.
These are the two default definitions of "it" where it is used without an antecedent.

A: I can do it too. is ok, but it really should have a comma: I can do it, too.

Various Artists: The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tribute
Rob Browning
The 33 songs compiled on The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tributecomprise an impressive legacy that is a more than worthy acquisition for the old or new Tony Sly fan.
The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tribute
Label: Fat Wreck Chords
US Release Date: 2013-10-29
UK Release Date: 2013-11-04
California punk bastion Tony Sly shuffled off this mortal coil on July 31, 2012. His unexpected passing left worldwide ripples considerably larger than his diminutive frame might belie. A man caught in the trap of the semi-successful touring musician, Sly was a devoted family man married to his high school sweetheart, but the No Use for a Name singer-guitarist made no secret of his struggles with addiction and the companion stresses it placed on his domestic situation. Touring with rowdy punk franchises like NUFAN seemed to not help matters much. The tension may have made for good songwriting, but Sly always seemed to be paying the price of trying to keep a foot in both worlds. Time was a cruel mistress. Old age and its companion wearing and tearing left Sly battling the perpetual pain of a herniated disc on his cervical spine, a malady whose treatment regimen of painkillers did not meld well with Sly's reputation as a heavy drinker.
While band injuries compromised once rampant international touring, the songs kept coming. Sly had pursued slower and quieter fare in recent years, pairing with fellow West Coast punk stalwart Joey Cape of Lagwagon for a pair of acoustic duo records and joining him in the titular Scorpios franchise with Jon Snodgrass. His songwriting gifts proved just as formidable whether backed by a loud, fast band or acoustic and in the wake of his passing, longtime friend and Fat Wreck label head Fat Mike dedicated his efforts to compiling a tribute. NOFX appear on The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tribute, along with a pantheon of 32 others, each lending a unique take on a track from the Sly canon. As with any of these comps, there is some chaff mixed with the wheat, but there is not an overtly terrible track here, even from historically unremarkable bands. It speaks volumes to the strength of the songwriting.
The versions herein split the difference pretty evenly between faithful takes on the faster material and more dramatic rearrangements. Karina Denike (ex-Dancehall Crashers) kicks the proceedings off with a spartanly beautiful take on "Biggest Lie", leading a trio of songs featuring their Left Coast contemporaries Mad Caddies and Strung Out. NOFX appear, as you would surmise, as does Bad Religion and Pennywise. The new(er) school also pays homage, in many cases stepping up with some of the best tracks. American Steel tear through "Dark Corner" and Alkaline Trio romp through "Straight from the Jacket" with an atypically ripping lead break from our dear Mr. Skiba.
The best takes here are arguably the two songs originally written by Sly for his daughters. Frank Turner weighs in with a poignant acoustic take on "Keira" and Mike from Rise Against steals the show with his Jon Snodgrass abetted take on "For Fiona". The song's closing refrain of "I'm Always Here" stings, but the 33 songs compiled on The Songs of Tony Sly: A Tributecomprise an impressive legacy that is a more than worthy acquisition for the old or new Tony Sly fan.

Q: Where criteria in a Join Is there any performance difference in adding additional criteria to the JOIN clause as opposed to putting it in the WHERE clause? Is there any actual functional difference (getting different results)? Is one better than the other for other reasons?
For example:
SELECT *
FROM MyTable1 mto
JOIN MyTable2 mto2 ON mto1.key = mto2.key
WHERE somefield = somevalue

VS
SELECT *
FROM MyTable1 mto
JOIN MyTable2 mto2 ON mto1.key = mto2.key
                   AND somefield = somevalue

A: For INNER JOIN, they are logically equivalent and will produce the same results.  I would expect that the query planner would generate identical plans for both queries, but there is a possibility that it could do something wonky with a complex enough query.  I, personally, have not encountered this situation, but I can't rule out the optimizer doing weird things.
So, for INNER JOINs the difference is largely readability.  But if you suspect the query planner is generating a weird plan, try changing the query and comparing the query plans.
For OUTER JOINs though, that's a different story.  Consider you have the following queries instead:
SELECT * FROM MyTable1 mto
LEFT JOIN MyTable2 mto2 on mto1.key = mto2.key
WHERE mto2.somefield = somevalue

VS
SELECT * FROM MyTable1 mto
LEFT JOIN MyTable2 mto2 on mto1.key = mto2.key
AND mto2.somefield = somevalue

In this case, your WHERE clause is acting over the right-hand table of a LEFT OUTER JOIN.  The first query will pull back all of the results from the LEFT OUTER JOIN and then filter those via the WHERE clause.  This is effectively transforming the OUTER JOIN into an INNER JOIN.
On the other hand, the second query will treat both of the conditions as part of the LEFT OUTER JOIN and return NULL for records that don't meet both conditions of the ON clause, thus retaining its OUTER JOIN nature.
This will also apply to any WHERE condition over a column on the left-hand table of a RIGHT OUTER JOIN.
If the WHERE condition had been over a column on the left-hand table on a LEFT OUTER JOIN, or on the right-hand table on a RIGHT OUTER JOIN, the results would not have been impacted.

Q: Custom keyboard shortcuts not working Ubuntu 20.04 For some reasons custom keyboard shortcuts don't work on my machine. I tried all sort of things but when I press the corresponding hotkey nothing happens.
Built-in shortcuts such as ctr+alt+t or ctr+c/ctr+v work just fine though.
At first, it seemed some people had already encountered the exact same problem before so I was quite hopeful to solve this quickly. (cf for instance this thread or this thread)
But ultimately none of the provided solutions worked so it seems my problem come from something else.
What I've tried so far:

*

*I tried different types of commands. Here are some of them:

*

*firefox

*bash

*bash -c 'sleep 0.3 && xdotool key U00e1'

*gnome-terminal -- htop

*sh -c "cd ~/Documents && gedit test.txt"

It is worth mentioning that all those commands work in terminal

*

*I tried different type of hotkeys (ctr+alt+a, ctr+alt+i, ctr+o, ctr+shift+d, ctr+alt+d,ctr+super+del...)

*I tried to close all my programs (browser, spotify, IDE etc.) in case the shortcuts were captured by one of them.

*tried to debug using:
xev | sed -n 's/^.state ([0-9].), keycode ([0-9]+) (.), .$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p
as suggested in another post but what I could only derive from this was that my keyboard keys are well detected by my computer.
Where I feel super frustrated is the fact I haven't found a way to see what happens under the hood so that I could debug it somehow. ATM, it really feels just like a black box to me, hope you can help me to see through it more clearly.
Here are a couple of screenshots to illustrate my problem and make it more concrete:

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Пётр Иванович Чели́щев (1745—1811) — русский писатель, этнограф, путешественник из рода Челищевых.

Биография
Пётр Челищев родился 14 августа 1745 года в Смоленской губернии; приходился троюродным братом сенатору А. Б. Челищеву. Имел родного брата Алексея, трое из внуков которого дослужились до генеральского чина (в их числе Н. Е. Челищев).

С 1757 года учился в Московской университетской гимназии. Окончил Пажеский корпус в 1766 году. Затем был направлен вместе с Александром Радищевым и другими пажами для довершения образования в Лейпцигский университет, где пробыл с 1766 по 1770 год. Здесь он слушал лекции по философии, социологии и физиологии профессора Эрнста Платнера.

По возвращении из-за границы, его служба не сложилась. 11 октября 1773 года был определён в Куринский пехотный полк. 18 мая 1774 года переведён поручиком в лейб-гвардии Гренадёрский полк. 9 октября 1778 года подал рапорт о переводе в Архангелогородский пехотный полк, но в 1790 году вышел в отставку в чине секунд-майора. Жил в Петербурге, довёл свои имения (1100 душ крестьян) до расстроенного состояния (в 1798 году оно было отобрано за долги). В 1773 году был членом масонской ложи «Муз», которой руководил И. П. Елагин. По рекомендации того же Елагина был посвящён в степень мастера-масона в ложе «Урания», членом которой в это же время был А. П. Радищев.

Его материалы послужили основой для написания некоторых глав «Путешествия из Петербурга в Москву». Петра Челищева считали соучастником А. Н. Радищева в составлении известной его книги «Путешествие из Петербурга в Москву», но, по бездоказательности возбуждённого обвинения, он избежал привлечения к ответственности.

В 1791 году путешествовал по северу России (по Олонецкой, Архангельской, Вологодской и Новгородской губерниям). Там он собрал материал по истории и этнографии, который объединил в книге «Путешествие по северу России в 1791 году», изданной в 1886 и 1889 годах. (в 1889 году Обществом древней письменности под редакцией Л. Н. Майкова). Несмотря на сжатость изложения, сообщаемые им факты, особенно касающиеся состояния торговли и промышленности, распространения отхожих и кустарных промыслов, имеют большое историческое значение.

Кроме «Путешествия…» ему принадлежит «Послание в Российскую Академию», заключающее в себе собрание большого количества северорусских провинциализмов, и русский перевод немецкой драматической кантаты «Feliza, Mutter der Völker», появившейся в Петербурге в 1793 году (напечатано вместе с «Путешествием»).

В конце жизни ослеп, умер в нищете.
Похоронен на Лазаревском кладбище Александро-Невской лавры в Петербурге (ныне I участок Некрополя XVIII века).

Action Summary 1. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-70-281 and 12 VAC 30-70-291 update current state regulation to indicate: a. Effective July 1, 2017, the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) will increase the formula for IME for freestanding children's hospitals with greater than 50 percent Medicaid utilization in 2009 as a substitute for DSH payments to be identical to the formula used for Type One hospitals. b. Effective July 1, 2017, supplemental payments shall be made for up to 25 new medical residency slots for primary care, high need specialties, and underserved areas. The department shall make supplemental payments to the following hospitals for the specified number of primary residencies: Sentara Norfolk General, Carilion Medical Center, Centra Lynchburg Hospital, Riverside Regional Medical Center, and Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center. 2. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-80-180, 12 VAC 30 80-200 will limit inflation to 50 percent of the inflation factor for home health and outpatient rehabilitation agencies in fiscal year 2018. 3. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-90-44 will update the price for each nursing facility peer group and other changes to peer groups. 4. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-70-351 reduce state FY2017 inflation by 50% for inpatient and outpatient hospital operating (including freestanding psychiatric and long stay hospitals), graduate medical expenses (GME), indirect medical education (IME), and disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments and outpatient hospital rates. 5. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-90-264 convert the specialized care rate methodology to a fully prospective state fiscal year rate, effective July 1, 2016. This would be accomplished consistent with the existing cost-based methodology by adding inflation to the per diem costs subject to existing ceilings for direct, indirect and ancillary costs from the most recent settled cost report prior to the state fiscal year for which the rates are being established. DMAS shall use the state fiscal year inflation rate recently adopted for regular nursing facilities. Partial year inflation shall be applied to per diem costs if the provider fiscal year end is different than the state fiscal year. Ceilings shall also be maintained by state fiscal year. 6. The proposed amendments at 12 VAC 30-70-221 and 12 VAC 30-70-381 change the methodology for costing claims used to rebase weights from a fee-for-service global cost-to-charge methodology to a methodology that uses per-diems and cost-to-charge ratios by cost center for the fee-for-service and managed care claims, effective July 1, 2016. In a similar fashion, each hospital's total costs by claim using this methodology will be divided by the total charges for the hospital cost-to-charge ratio. 7. This set of changes will: a. Eliminate existing regulations at 12 VAC 30-80-30(A)(1) related to limitations for emergency physician services; b. Amend existing regulations at 12 VAC 30-80-30(A)(17)(b) to include information regarding how supplemental payments are calculated for Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters effective July 1, 2015; c. Add a new section with language at 12 VAC 30-50-30(A)(18.1)regarding supplemental payments for services provided by physicians at freestanding children's hospitals serving children in Planning District 8 (Children's National Health System); d. Add a new section with language at 12 VAC 30-80-30(A)(21) implementing supplemental payments to state- owned or operated clinics. 8. Additional language added at 12 VAC 30-80-36(B)(4)(a) regarding the inflation adjustment to base year outpatient hospital costs for state fiscal year 2017 and 2018. 9. DMAS is making minor technical changes to incorporate into regulations language that CMS has approved in State Plan amendments.
Exempt Citation: These changes are required by the 2017 General Assembly in the Acts of Assembly, Chapter 836: Item 306.CCC, 306.RRR.5, 306.YYY, 306.ZZZ, 306.FFFF, 306.GGGG, 306.IIII, 306.NNNN, and 306.ZZZZ.
8012 Final Stage complete. This regulation became effective on 2/21/2018.

2 women plead guilty in plot to commit terror attack in US
Posted 9:06 am, August 24, 2019, by CNN Wire
(CNN) — Two New York women who plotted to build a bomb for a terrorist attack in the United States face 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges, authorities say.
Asia Siddiqui, 35, and Noelle Velentzas, 31, are US citizens and residents of the New York borough of Queens.
In federal court in Brooklyn on Friday, both pleaded guilty to "teaching and distributing information pertaining to the making and use of an explosive, destructive device, and weapon of mass destruction, intending that it be used to commit a federal crime of violence," according to a press release from the US Attorney's Office of the Eastern District of New York.
"In an effort to implement their violent, radical ideology, the defendants studied some of the most deadly terrorist attacks in U.S. history, and used them as a blueprint for their own plans to kill American law enforcement and military personnel," said US Attorney Richard Donoghue in the release.
The women pleaded not guilty in 2015. In the release Friday, authorities said the pair discussed making a bomb between 2013 and 2015; taught each other chemistry and electrical skills; researched how to make a car bomb; and bought materials to make an explosive device, the statement said.
They discussed similar devices used terrorists used in Boston, Oklahoma City and the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, and were focusing on law enforcement and military targets. Velentzas praised the terrorism of September 11, 2001, and said being a martyr through a suicide attack guaranteed entrance into heaven, according to the release.
When the women were arrested, police found propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions, jihadist literature, machetes and several knives in their homes, the release said.

Strategic Energy Plan
The Fond du Lac Band is one of six Chippewa Indian Bands that make up the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. The Fond du Lac Reservation was established by the La Pointe Treaty of 1854. Today, our Band includes over 4,200 members. The Ojibwe name for the Fond du Lac Reservation is "Nagaajiwanaang" ["Where the Flow of the River Stops"].
This page shares our journey for "Ganawenimang Gimaamaaminaan awe Aki" ["Taking Care of Our Mother Earth"] and fulfilling a strategic vision centered on community vitality, self-reliance, and sustainable reservation development.
The Fond du Lac Band believes that its Energy Vision should go hand-in-hand with other objectives like economic development, job creation, and cultural values. In support of its long-term strategic energy planning effort, as well as its overall mission, the Band has adopted the following Energy Vision:
The Energy Vision of the Band is to maximize the efficiency of energy usage and develop energy resources in ways that will sustain current and future generations by addressing the economic, environmental, and social issues of energy within the context of Fond du Lac Band's culture, traditions and established tribal policies for the wise use of our sun, forest, water, and wind resources.
The Fond du Lac Band has identified three options to achieve these goals: energy efficiency options, energy generation options and institutional and administrative options. Use the tabs below to read about the different accomplishments of the Fond du Lac strategic energy plan.
The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (Band) is pleased to present its Energy Vision & Profile. On this page, we will take a closer look into the Band's accomplishments in energy efficiency and conservation, energy generation, and sustainable economic development. We also preview the Band's future projects and next steps toward achieving its energy vision.
Energy conservation is essential to preserve and protect the Fond du Lac Reservation and the Band's ceded territories. The Band continues to lead the region in energy efforts, as we strive to remain the caretakers of Mother Earth.

Athena Karkanis – Bio, Body Measurements And Other Interesting Facts
The Canadian entertainment industry can boast of a few brilliant actors and actresses, many of whom have gone on to became international stars, some of which include Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, Cobie Smulders and many more. One more name that has joined the ranks of popular faces in Hollywood who are of Canadian nationality is Athena Karkanis.
The actress, who began her career as an actress in 1996, has appeared in several projects onscreen and behind the screen, as a voice actress. Her voice acting has earned an extensive list of credits in video games, voicing several characters in some of the notable video games around.
Despite over 20 years in the industry, Athena is not relenting in her climb to the summit of the profession. Here is a look at the career of the talented actress and her life in general.
Athena Karkanis Biography
A brief look at the background of Athena shows a woman who has led an interesting life. Athena Karkanis was born on the 7th of September 1981 in Lethbridge, Alberta in Canada. Having completed high school like several of her peers, she headed to college for her higher education, studying political science at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. Perhaps at the suggestions of her parents or counselors, Athena was poised to attend law school after graduation but instead chose to pursue her passion for acting instead.
Her career began in 1996 with voice appearances on the animated television show, Stickin' Around. She voiced different characters on the show, performing in seven episodes between 1996 and 1998.
Athena had a slow start to her career; following the end of her involvement with Stickin' Around in 1998, Athena did not have any credit to her name until 2003, either as an onscreen actress or a voice actress. In 2003, she had a voice role as an Educated Guess Announcer on Chappelle's Show. This was followed by another voice role in the video game, World of Warcraft.
Athena Karkanis got her first onscreen role in 2005 when she played Tamara Corday in the television show, 1-800-Missing, appearing in one episode of the show. Like a metaphorical floodgate, her appearance on the show opened the doors to several other roles in different shows and films. However, she has mostly appeared on television, starring in shows like Covert Affairs, Funs, The Border, Almost Heroes, Supernatural, The Expanse, Suits, House of Cards and Manifest. In Film, she can boast of appearances in box office hits like two appearances in the Saw horror franchise, for Saw IV and Saw VI. Other films include The Barrens, Spark, Survival of the Dead and a couple more.
Athena Karkanis has also expressed the talent in video games, some of which include popular names like Diablo III, Star Wars: The Old Republic and Far Cry Primal.
Athena Karkanis is of Greek-Egyptian origin which is pretty evident in her physical appearance. Athena is a beautiful woman with an exotic look that never fails to stun. She is taller than the average female height, standing at a height of 5 feet and 7 inches. She also has a lean body with an admirable weight of 57kg.
Her body measurements, which includes her chest, waist and hip sizes, are measured at 33-24-33 inches respectively. Other notable features include black eyes and dark brown hair.
Other Interesting Facts to Know About Her
Athena (Second to the right) with her Manifest co-stars.
1. She Is Single
As someone who has been in the industry for quite long, it is surprising to find that Athena Karkanis is single and has never been married. She has also never been a public relationship either. Having mentioned earlier how extremely attractive the actress is, it is one of the most fascinating facts about the actress.
2. She Is A Scream Queen
To those who might not be familiar with the term, Scream Queen is a name given to an actor or actress who has appeared in multiple horror movies and Athena Karkanis fits that profile. She has starred in several of them, including her appearances in the Saw movies. She has also appeared in Survival of the Dead and Repo! The Genetic Opera.

3. She Has A Modest Net Worth
With over 20 years in the industry, appearing in over 80 films, television shows, and video games has helped Athena Karkanis to a net worth of $1 million. Considering she was bound for law school before she turned to Acting, we can say it has been a pretty great decision thus far.

Designer Hanae Mori on stage again with costumes for opera 'Yuzuru'
by Megumi Kudo
Hanae Mori, a revered Japanese fashion designer with a career on world catwalks since the 1960s, showed her unflagging creativity when she designed costumes for a recent revival of the Japanese opera "Yuzuru."
The opera, whose title translates as "Twilight Crane," was written by Junji Kinoshita (1914-2006) and composed by Ikuma Dan (1924-2001), based on a Japanese folk tale of the tragic love of a young villager Yohyo, who helps a wounded crane, and his wife Tsu, an incarnation of the crane.
"I hope to convey the zeal of the story, human lust and the purity of the crane to audiences through the costumes," said the 88-year-old designer in a recent interview.
The opera has been repeatedly staged since its premiere in 1952, with the latest performance, directed by Ukon Ichikawa, staged across Japan from January to April.
Mori designed a silk dress with gold and silver flower-patterned sashes as the main costume for Tsu in the latest performance. The sleeves were designed to allow the audience to see the movements of Tsu's arms, which express the image of an elegant crane.
Over the years, Mori, in addition to running her own fashion house, has designed costumes for traditional Japanese noh and kabuki plays, as well as films, musicals and ballets, including the innovative "Pink Floyd Ballet" and "Rokumeikan" staged by the renowned Shiki Theater Company.
Born in Shimane Prefecture, western Japan, Mori started to design clothes in 1951.
"I joined a fashion school because I couldn't find clothes I wanted to buy in any stores and so I decided to make them," Mori said. "Down the line, I started to think that I wanted many people to wear what I design."
In 1977, Mori became the only Asian listed as an official haute couture designer in Paris. She continues to stick to the this traditional style, as if fighting against the changing times.
"I feel sad to think that human hands are atrophying as so many things are made by computer," Mori said.
She said she enjoys making clothes with care, thinking how to express the personalities of those who will wear them. "I make clothes for people who will cherish them."
In line with COVID-19 guidelines, the government is strongly requesting that residents and visitors exercise caution if they choose to visit bars, restaurants, music venues and other public spaces.

Work-Related Asthma
Asthma is one of the most common ailments facing Americans, with an estimated 8.2 percent of adults suffering an asthma attack within a year. Roughly half of all people with asthma will have an attack in a one-year timeframe. The U.S. workforce currently has 11 million participants with the condition. Those working in certain industries have a much higher prevalence of asthma than in other types of employment. Proactive measures taken by industries may reduce the number of asthma cases among employees.
Work-Related Asthma by Industry
The group with the highest number of workers diagnosed with asthma are employed in health care and social services. Approximately nine percent of workers in these fields suffer from asthma, for a total of 1.9 million employees. About 45 percent of those 1.9 million reported experiencing an asthma attack over the previous 12 months, and 11 percent required a trip to the emergency room for care. When it comes to percentages of employees with asthma, the transportation and warehousing industries came in first, with nearly 52 percent reporting an asthma attack within a year's time.
The industry with the highest percentage of workers likely to have an asthma attack is wood products manufacturing at 57 percent. The retail industry reports the highest percentage of workers requiring a visit to the emergency room during an asthma attack over a year's time, with 12.4 percent. Teachers and others employed in education also had higher than average asthma rates, which brings into question whether students are similarly affected.
Asthma Demographics
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that workers aged 45 to 64 were most likely to experience an asthma attack, with more females experiencing attacks than males. Caucasians were more likely to have asthma than those identifying as other races, as were those with additional education beyond a high school diploma. People living in the South and those with no health insurance or identified as poor were more likely to have an asthma attack.
However, the demographics were quite different for those requiring a trip to the emergency room over the past year for an asthma event. Most workers were young, aged 18 to 24 at 10.5 percent. Females still accounted for most emergency room visits, but those of the African-American race and those with less than a high school education were most likely to need emergency room treatment.
Identifying Asthma Patients
Information regarding asthma patients by industry and demographics may help doctors identify those requiring asthma evaluation. Public health officials also benefit from the data, as they can then identify worksites where asthma is more prevalent and work with companies to control or prevent possible asthma triggers.

The mass and the lifetime of a gluon are evaluated from first principles at a finite temperature across the deconfinement transition of pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, by a direct calculation of the pole of the propagator in the complex plane, using the finite temperature extension of a massive expansion in the Landau gauge. Even at T=0, the quasigluon lifetime is finite, and the gluon is canceled from the asymptotic states, yielding a microscopic proof of confinement from first principles. Above the transition, the damping rate is a linear increasing function of temperature as predicted by standard perturbation theory.

The L.A.-based producer/vocalist/instrumentalist's last release of 2018 enticingly leans into darkness.
Crywolf is Justin Taylor Phillips, a Los Angeles-based producer, instrumentalist, and vocalist who's found his niche in crafting amorphous, genre-defying sound universes. His latest track out today, "Cephalotus," is a doom-bringing lullaby — if that's a thing. Wispy synths and his gauzy vocals drift in and out while heavy beats ground the whole thing, and Phillips whispers things like, "I'm going to chew you 'til my teeth are numb."
Googling "cephalotus" brings up images of carnivorous plants with large, pitcher-like flowers that are convenient for trapping wayward insects. It's hard, listening, not to wonder if Phillips is doing alright, and even harder not to admit that the sound of darkness could be so beautiful.
"'Cephalotus' is a song about my entire life, in a certain sense," Phillips writes of the song via email. "A descent into darkness, into chaos; into sweet, beautiful doom. It represents my complex and often deadly relationship with the shadow place in my unconscious mind - that dark, wet womb of the void from which all birth and death bloom."

US: Shutdown looms as talks stall over detention policies
Possibility of new government shutdown emerges as Republican and Democrat lawmakers clash over immigration enforcement.
Democrats want to curb what they see as unnecessarily harsh enforcement by ICE [File: Steve Helber/The Associated Press]
Bipartisan border-security negotiations seeking to avert another government shutdown in the United States have broken down in a dispute over immigration detention policies, according to lawmakers and aides.
"The talks are stalled right now," Republican Senator Richard Shelby told the Fox News Sunday TV programme, adding that he hoped negotiators would return to the table soon.
Efforts to resolve an impasse over border security funding extended into the weekend as a special congressional negotiating panel aimed to reach a deal by Monday.
The group of 17 lawmakers are hoping to reach a deal to allow time for the legislation to pass the US House of Representatives and Senate and get to President Donald Trump by Friday, when federal funding is due to expire.
Democratic Senator Jon Tester played down any breakdown in talks. "It is a negotiation. Negotiations seldom go smooth all the way through," he told the Fox programme. He said he was hopeful a deal could be reached.
However, no further talks were reportedly scheduled.
State of the Union: What Trump said on wall, economy, Venezuela (3:26)
Trump agreed on January 25 to end a 35-day partial US government shutdown without getting the $5.7bn he had demanded from Congress for a wall along the border with Mexico, handing a political victory to Democrats.
Instead, a three-week spending deal was reached with congressional leaders to give legislators time to resolve their disagreements about how to address security along the border.
One sticking point has been Democrats' demands for funding fewer detention beds for people detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) than the Trump administration seeks. Republicans want to increase the number as part of their drive to speed immigrant deportations.
"I am hoping we can get off the dime later in the day or the morning," Shelby said. "We have some problems with the Democrats dealing with ICE detaining criminals ... They want a cap on them. We don't want a cap on that."
While a number of Republicans in Congress have made it clear they would not embrace another shutdown, White House budget Director Mick Mulvaney said he could not rule it out.
"You absolutely cannot," Mulvaney, who is also Trump's acting chief of staff, told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday. "Is a shutdown entirely off the table? The answer is no."
But Mulvaney did signal that the White House would prefer not to have a repeat of the last shutdown, which stretched more than a month, left more than 800,000 government workers without paycheques, forced a postponement of the State of the Union address and sent Trump's poll numbers tumbling.
TALK TO AL JAZEERA: Migrants at the US-Mexico border: Overcoming walls and prejudice (26:11)
As support in his own party began to splinter, Trump surrendered after the shutdown hit 35 days without getting money for the wall.
This time, Mulvaney signalled that the White House may be willing to take whatever congressional money comes - even if less than Trump's goal - and supplement that with other government funds.
"The president is going to build the wall. That's our attitude at this point," Mulvaney said on Fox. "We'll take as much money as you can give us, and we'll go find the money somewhere else, legally, and build that wall on the southern border, with or without Congress."
The president's supporters have suggested that Trump could use executive powers to divert money from the federal budget for wall construction, though it was unclear if he would face challenges in Congress or the courts. One provision of the law lets the Department of Defense provide support for counterdrug activities.
But declaring a national emergency remained an option, Mulvaney said, even though many in the administration have cooled on the prospect. A number of powerful Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have also warned against the move, believing it usurps power from Congress and could set a precedent for a future Democratic president to declare an emergency for a liberal political cause.
The fight over ICE detentions goes to the core of each party's view on immigration.
Republicans favour tough enforcement of immigration laws and have little interest in easing them if Democrats refuse to fund the Mexican border wall. Democrats oppose the proposed wall and, in return for border security funds, want to curb what they see as unnecessarily harsh enforcement by ICE.
As most budget disputes go, differences over hundreds of millions of dollars are usually imperceptible and easily solved. But this battle, more than most, is driven by political symbolism - whether Trump will be able to claim he delivered on his long-running pledge to "build the wall" or newly empowered congressional Democrats will be able to thwart him.
Predictably, each side blamed the other for the stall in negotiations.
"We were, you know, progressing well," Republican Tom Graves said on Sunday on ABC's This Week. ''I thought we were tracking pretty good over the last week. And it just seems over the last 24 hours or so the goalposts have been moving from the Democrats."
House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth, a Democrat, countered by telling the same show, "The numbers are all over the place.
"I think the big problem here is this has become pretty much an ego negotiation," Yarmouth added. "And this really isn't over substance."
