Yadh Ben Achour (), né le  à La Marsa, est un juriste et universitaire tunisien, spécialiste des théories politiques islamiques et de droit public.

Biographie
Il naît dans une famille de lettrés, de magistrats et de hauts fonctionnaires de la bourgeoisie tunisoise. Fils de Mohamed Fadhel Ben Achour et passionné par le savoir, il fait ses études primaires et secondaires à Tunis. Ayant obtenu son baccalauréat en juillet 1964, il part à Paris pour entamer une formation universitaire en droit. Là-bas, il s'inscrit à la faculté de droit de Paris et se voit titulaire d'une maîtrise de droit en 1968, d'un diplôme d'études spécialisées en droit public et en sciences politiques en 1969 et d'un doctorat d'État en droit en janvier 1974.

Grâce à ces efforts, il est nommé professeur assistant à la faculté de droit de Tunis en octobre 1970. Lauréat du concours d'agrégation en décembre 1974, il est élevé en avril 1975 au grade de maître de conférences puis en mars 1978 au grade de professeur des universités en droit à la même institution. Il est également nommé, au sein de cette faculté, directeur du département de droit public entre 1974 et 1979 et directeur du Centre d'études, de recherches et de publications entre 1980 et 1987. En novembre 1987, il est affecté à la faculté des sciences juridiques, politiques et sociales de Tunis dont il devient le doyen entre 1993 et 1999.

Auteur de plusieurs œuvres scientifiques sur le droit public et expert de son domaine, il assume aussi plusieurs autres fonctions universitaires et juridiques à l'échelle nationale et internationale. Effectivement, il est membre du conseil d'administration de l'université Senghor d'Alexandrie en 1989 et membre du Conseil économique et social entre 1987 et 1988. Vice-président de l'Association tunisienne du droit administratif en 1982, il est le rédacteur en chef de la Revue tunisienne de droit entre 1980 et 1987, membre du comité scientifique de la Revue tunisienne de science politique, membre du bureau exécutif de l'Association internationale de philosophie du droit, membre de l'Institut de droit international, conseiller juridique de la mission des Nations unies pour l'organisation d'un référendum au Sahara occidental entre 1991 et 1992, juge au tribunal administratif de la Banque africaine de développement en 2005, membre du comité d'experts chargé de l'élaboration du rapport du PNUD sur le développement humain dans le monde arabe en 2007 et enseignant à l'Institut de recherches et d'études sur le monde arabe et musulman.

Démissionnaire du Conseil constitutionnel en 1992 après une année en fonction, il devient un opposant au régime du président Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali en critiquant plusieurs projets de lois imposées par l'État tunisien dont la révision constitutionnelle de 2002.

Lors de la révolution tunisienne de 2011, il est nommé à la tête d'une commission de réforme des textes et des institutions, chargée de débarrasser le droit tunisien des dispositions du régime déchu de Ben Ali. Cette commission fusionne ensuite avec les révolutionnaires et représentants de partis et d'associations réunis au sein du Conseil pour la protection de la révolution pour devenir la Haute instance pour la réalisation des objectifs de la révolution, de la réforme politique et de la transition démocratique. À sa tête, il met en place les institutions chargées de veiller sur la transition démocratique en Tunisie.

Il est élu membre du Comité des droits de l'homme des Nations unies le 7 mai 2012 en remplacement d'Abdelfattah Amor mort le 2 janvier. Le 14 juin 2018, il est réélu pour un mandat de quatre ans (2019-2022) par les États parties au Pacte international relatif aux droits économiques, sociaux et culturels lors de la  réunion tenue à New York.

Membre du conseil scientifique de la Fondation tunisienne pour la traduction, l'établissement des textes et les études, membre fondateur de l'Académie internationale de droit constitutionnel et membre élu de l'Académie tunisienne des sciences, des lettres et des arts. Il est également le premier titulaire de la chaire Averroès dédiée à l'islam méditerranéen et contemporain, créée au sein de l'Institut méditerranéen de recherches avancées de l'université d'Aix-Marseille et professeur invité dans plusieurs universités dont l'université Harvard, université Panthéon-Sorbonne et le Collège de France.

Pensées

Islam et droits de l'homme
Dans La deuxième Fâtiha et d'autres publications, Yadh Ben Achour étudie le lien entre la charia et les droits de l'homme pour expliquer le lien entre l'Orient musulman et l'Occident régi par les valeurs universelles et reconnaît qu'il y a une rupture entre le principe de la suprématie laïque des droits de l'homme et la croyance islamique qui définit les droits de Dieu décrits dans le Coran et les hadiths comme supérieurs aux droits de l'homme et que c'est cette opposition qui explique en grande partie la fermeture des musulmans sur eux-mêmes et le blocage du dialogue entre l'Orient et l'Occident, d'où la violence et le terrorisme.

Pour lui, ceci est absurde car l'islam est lui-même basé sur les valeurs universelles. Il explique cette opposition par une mauvaise perception et une manipulation des textes du Coran par les musulmans. Cette fausse lecture de l'islam est motivée par deux mécanismes : le manque de référence aux résultats évidents des sciences sociales et l'utilisation de justifications biologiques, même contradictoires, lors de l'interprétation du Coran.

Par conséquent, il prône comme Mohammed Arkoun l'adoption d'une interprétation libérale, non influencée par les préjugés, rationnelle et humaine du Coran qui est concordante avec les valeurs universelles comme les droits de l'homme.

Sciences sociales et monde arabe

Après des années de recherche scientifique en droit, il conclut que la communauté des chercheurs en sciences sociales qui existe de nos jours dans le monde arabe et particulièrement en Tunisie est exclusivement arabophone, fermée sur elle-même et ne cherche pas à s'enrichir à partir d'autres civilisations et écoles étrangères de sociologie et qu'elle manque d'objectivité et tend à donner des interprétations politiquement et idéologiquement biaisées. Par exemple, il trouve que l'arabisme a trop influencé la considération de la question linguistique dans le monde arabe, faisant d'elle une thématique primordiale et controversée. Selon lui, la tendance de la communauté scientifique à ignorer le statut de l'arabe dialectal comme une langue vivante et couramment utilisée au Maghreb et à insister sur le fait que l'arabe standard moderne est la seule langue maternelle et vivante maîtrisée au Maghreb, alors qu'elle n'est utilisée que dans les institutions de l'État, n'est pas fondée scientifiquement et ne sert qu'à l'apaisement de l'amertume de la fin du rêve de l'unité arabe. Malgré ce constat, il estime que cette situation des sciences sociales peut être ajustée sous l'influence des sociétés savantes étrangères actives dans le domaine.

Sciences juridiques et sciences sociales
Lors de sa longue carrière scientifique, il trouve qu'il existe une rupture entre les sciences juridiques et les autres sciences sociales, bien que les spécialistes en droit se réfèrent régulièrement à la sociologie, à l'anthropologie et à l'histoire lors de leurs travaux. D'une part, ceci est dû au présupposé des sociologues que les juristes sont des hommes de texte qui se basent de manière systématique et normative sur les faits décontextualisés, abstraits et formels pour faire des jugements et que cette méthode positiviste ne tient pas compte de la nature pluridimensionnelle de la vérité sociologique. D'autre part, ceci s'explique par le fait que les sociologues n'ont pas la notion de la norme qui existe dans les sciences juridiques et qui fait partie de la réalité sociologique.

Ben Achour estime que ceci est absurde car les juristes et les sociologues visent la quête de la vérité. C'est pour cela qu'il encourage les efforts effectués pour le rapprochement entre le droit et les sciences sociales et appelle les sociétés savantes des sciences sociales à avoir plus d'intérêt pour les sciences juridiques.

Cynarina lacrymalis is a species of stony coral in the family Lobophylliidae. It is variously known as the flat cup coral, solitary cup coral, button coral, doughnut coral, or cat's eye coral. It is found in the western Indo-Pacific Ocean and is sometimes kept in reef aquaria.

Description

Cynarina lacrymalis is a large, solitary coral with a single polyp nestling in a corallite, the stony cup it has secreted. It can grow to a diameter of . It is cylindrical with a round or oval upper surface. It is usually fixed to rock but has a pointed base and can be embedded in sand or survive unattached. There are about twenty broad white radially arranged septa (ridges) joined to the corallite wall, with secondary septa between. They have large, rounded lobes and the central axial structure (columella) in the corallite is short and broad. The septa can be seen through the transparent, fleshy mantle which contains symbiotic flagellates known as zooxanthellae which give the coral its colour. This is usually pale brown or green, sometimes with a contrasting oral disc, but also sometimes pinkish or bluish. The colour depends on which species of zooxanthella take up residence. The coral has the ability to change its surface from glossy to dull but it is unclear why it does this. At night, when the polyp extends its many tentacles to feed, the coral resembles a sea anemone.

Distribution and habitat
Cynarina lacrymalis is found in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, the east coast of Africa and the Seychelles. It is also known from Japan, Indonesia and northern and eastern Australia. It is found on shallow reefs and sandy seabeds with moderate water flow, down to depths of

Biology
This coral orientates itself so that its cup surface is parallel to the surface to which it is fastened and it sways with the water movement. During the day, the mantle tissues absorb water and swell up. This increases the area exposed to the light and may double the coral's diameter. The zooxanthellae are photosynthetic and use sunlight to create organic compounds. These provide most of the coral's energy needs. However, during the night, the tentacles of the polyp are extended to trap planktonic particles floating past and these supplement the nutrition it obtains from photosynthesis.

This coral is a hermaphrodite and reproduces by releasing eggs and sperm into the water where fertilisation takes place. The planula larvae which emerge from the eggs are planktonic and eventually settle on the seabed to undergo metamorphosis into juvenile polyps. Under conditions of poor light, the coral sometimes reproduces asexually, part of the disc becoming detached and growing into a new individual.

Use in aquaria
Cynarina lacrymalis is a hardy coral, tolerant of various environmental conditions, and is suitable for use in a mixed aquarium. It should be firmly secured because when it is swollen with water it becomes heavy. It needs moderate light to provide conditions where its zooxanthellae can flourish and should also be target fed with brine shrimps, cyclops, rotifers, daphnia or other zooplankton.

Nat Lofthouse: Bolton and England's Greatest
Rob looks back at a true club legend and namesake of our site, five years to the day since he passed away
By robilaz@robilaz Jan 15, 2016, 3:00pm GMT
Share All sharing options for: Nat Lofthouse: Bolton and England's Greatest
Nat Lofthouse remains a true Bolton Wanderers legend
Alex Livesey/Getty Images
Bolton Wanderers fans' lack of affinity to their current players is in stark contrast to the feeling towards Nat Lofthouse, whose legend status has been forever immortalised at the club.
Five years on from losing Bolton and England's greatest - or at least, most prolific - striker, we take a look back at the great man's career, and explore why he was held in such high regard.
Nat Lofthouse is the epitome of the 'one man club' adage that is so rarely seen in the modern game. The Bolton-born forward joined Wanderers as a 13-year-old in September 1939, the year that World War II started, and made his unofficial debut as a 15-year-old in a wartime friendly on 22 March 1941. He went on to make 503 appearances for his hometown club, the ninth most in the club's history, and remains Bolton's all-time leading scorer with 285 goals.
That unofficial debut suggested Lofthouse was destined for greatness. Taking on local rivals Bury, the forward scored twice in a 4-3 defeat and then repeated that personal feat with two goals on his league debut against Chelsea on 31 August 1946, the first season after the end of the war. That season he finished as Bolton's top scorer with 21 goals in all competitions and set the path for a career in which he never stopped scoring.
Indeed, Lofthouse was Bolton's top scorer in ten out of eleven seasons between 1946/47 and 1958/59, and won the English Football of the Year award in 1952/53.
Lofthouse's form for Bolton eventually earned him an England call-up in 1950 at the ripe age of 25, and he again repeated the feat of scoring twice on debut in a 2-2 draw with Yugoslavia. That earned him his prolonged place in the national side and he started the next 18 England matches.
In 1952 he earned his 'Lion of Vienna' nickname as he - you guessed it - scored two goals to lead England to a 3-2 win over Austria. But it was his second goal, and the match winner, that epitomised Lofthouse's playing style and commitment to scoring goals, and earned him the famous name.
Lofthouse received the ball on half-way from Tom Finney, burst forward, brushing off an elbow to the face and a tackle from behind, and somehow got a shot off before being knocked out cold by the advancing goalkeeper. When he came to he was lauded as the Lion of Vienna, a name that stuck with him for the rest of his life and continues to live on with this website. Speaking of the goal after the match, Lofthouse said: "I'd sooner have left my leg on the halfway line than miss the chance," which perfectly sums up his mentality. You can watch the highlights from that match below:
Bolton hadn't been enjoying the best of times in Lofthouse's early years with the club, despite his goalscoring heroics. But all that changed in the years after that infamous match in Austria.
In 1953 he was on the scoresheet and scored in every round en route to the final as Bolton lost to Blackpool in the famous 'Matthews Final' - in which Stanley Matthews inspired a comeback from 3-1 down and Stan Mortensen scored the only FA Cup Final hat-trick in a 4-3 win for his side. Lofthouse was also the top scorer in the First Division that season, racking up 30 goals. The next year he played for England at the World Cup, scoring twice against Belgium and once against Uruguay.
Four years later came one of his finest, and probably the most famous, moment of his career. Five years on from that defeat to Blackpool, Lofthouse captained the Bolton side that defeated Manchester United in the 1958 FA Cup Final. Wanderers won the game 2-0 with, surprise surprise, Lofthouse scoring both. But the match will always be remembered for his infamous second goal, when he barged goalkeeper Harry Gregg into his own net. Both those goals are in the video below:
His goalscoring record for Bolton led to him becoming the seventh top goalscorer in the history of the English top division. That, combined with his scoring exploits for England - 30 goals in 33 games - make him one of the finest talents our country has ever produced. He was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002, along with the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Stanley Matthews - confirming him as a true footballing great.
Lofthouse's affinity with Bolton continued long beyond his playing days, becoming assistant trainer on his retirement and then having two spells as manager between 1967-70 and in 1971, as well as a stint as caretaker manager in 1985. However, his managerial skills didn't quite match his superb playing ability, as he told ITV show This Is Your Life (which you can watch here) in 1993:
"I think the worst thing Bolton Wanderers' directors ever did was ask me to be manager. The only thing worse was when I said 'yes.' I wasn't cut out to be a manager."
Moving on from the management career he became a chief scout at the club, before becoming administrative manager and then the club's executive manager in 1978. He was named club President for life in 1986, and then made a freeman of Bolton three years later. His services to football were honoured by an OBE in 1994 and he had the East Stand of the Reebok Stadium named after him upon its opening in 1997. Fittingly, Lofthouse will remain forever synonymous with the club having had a statue erected outside the Reebok Stadium on 24 August 2013, three days before what would have been his 88th birthday.
To sum up the great man I'll leave it to someone more knowledgable than myself, the great Jimmy Armfield, who said outside the church at Lofthouse's funeral:
"It's the fact that he was a one-club man. It happened a lot in our day as it were, of course. People like Tom Finney and myself, but you always associate Nat with Bolton. That's the two words that go together and the thing about Nat was, as well, that you'd dont need to put his surname there, do you? You just say Nat.
"He was probably one of the best centre forwards England ever had, very aggressive and combative with great speed. He was everything a centre forward should be and was a great one-club man."
You said it, Jimmy. Nat Lofthouse epitomises an age where football was truly a working class game. He grew up a Bolton supporter and worked in the mines during the war before achieving his dream of playing for his hometown club and playing for his country. The love Bolton fans hold for him was shown by thousands of people turning up for his funeral and he will always remain a club legend, the likes of which we will never see again.
If you want to read more about Nat, his life and his career then I encourage you to read this superb article by Lion of Vienna Suite founders Mark Yesilevsky and Matlida Hankinson from 2013.

The difference between a searchable and a non-searchable copy of data is this: The searchable copy contains both the data itself and some very extensive index files that the peer node uses to search the data. The non-searchable copy contains just the data. Even the data stored in the non-searchable copy, however, has undergone initial processing and is stored in a form that makes it possible to create the index files later, if necessary. For more information on the files that constitute Splunk Enterprise indexes, read the subtopic "Data files".
On the other hand, if the cluster's search factor is only 1 and a peer goes down, there will be a significant lag before searching can resume across all the cluster data. Although non-searchable copies of the buckets can be made searchable, doing so takes time, because the index files must first be built from the raw data file. The processing time can be significant if the peer that went down was storing a large quantity of searchable data.

Indian Wells Masters
JSW Group soon to have Sports Management Agency for the Athletes
J&D Trending January 2, 2019
JSW group is all set to build their own sports management agency for the players that they are taking care of. They are also having a keen interest in collaborating with the sports federation, for assisting the players with Olympics game.
JSW Sports Management Agency for the Athletes
JSW came into the spotlight as the sports manager after Sakshi Malik was signed by the Nissan to be the face of the DATSUN Redi-GO Sport. This happened right after she won the bronze medal for wrestling at the Rio Olympics.
Similarly, many other players and sportsperson who were trained under JSW group have returned back to continue their commercial activities. Even the javelin throwers like Neeraj Chopra and other wrestlers like Bajrang Punia and Pooja Dhanda.
The main purpose of sports management for athletes is to provide funds so as to help the athletes to prepare and work for international games.
Mustafa Ghouse, CEO of JSW Sports told the Economic Times- 'It was after the win of Sakshi Malik that we seriously got into the work, for making it bigger and better than before. We slowly began providing the commercial requirements of the player and planning out their activities in a complete holistic manner'.
JSW has already put up their plans for the partnership with the National Rifle Association of India, NRAI. The partnership will have JSW funding the NRAI for bringing more advanced and high performing resources for the shooting athletes. This will help the Indian Shooting Athletes to work for the upcoming Paris and Tokyo Olympics.

Smallcap hunters: Will Jai Balaji Industries reward investors again?
Jai Balaji came up with plans of putting 6-7 times more steel capacities along with cement plants.
It's been years, and the steel cycle finally seems to have turned with the tailwinds becoming favourable.
What a story it has been! If our memory serves us right, around 2004, some 26 companies vowed to put up plants of a minimum 1MTPA in Bengal, but 24 of them failed to deliver.
One was able to put up a plant, but after much delay. It was Jai Balaji Industries of the Jajodia family, which pulled off a miracle. It was able to put its 1MTPA capacity in just 42 months, beating its own expectation by six months and at a cost which became a benchmark then.
What an achievement! Everything looked rosy until it started dreaming of becoming really big. It came up with plans of putting 6-7 times more steel capacities along with cement plants. It was also allocated coal blocks with high grade coal reserves, which ensured its future backward integration. The company, meanwhile, took massive debt and the global demand-supply mismatch hit it hard.
Problems kept compounding with triple whammies of high debt, minimal capacity utilisation and then the coal scam, which led the state government to de-allocate all coal blocks. The company turned sick with the lenders assigning a NPA tag to it. Currently, the company is facing NCLT proceedings.
It's been years, and the steel cycle finally seems to have turned with the tailwinds becoming favourable. As of today, Jai Balaji with 1.2mtpa integrated capacity in close proximity to port and possessing own railway sliding would easily be worth Rs 7,500 crore. The company's enterprise value would be around Rs 3,600 crore. Market cap is hardly Rs 150 crore. So, a positive outcome or a good haircut can take it places. China produces half the steel demand of the entire world. With the government ruling out fresh capacity and ongoing steel cycle tailwinds, there would be serious interest in the company. It has ductile iron of 240,000 TPA, too. That's cream, and easily worth Rs 400-450 crore. We have seen the debt and enterprise value of Bhushan Steel. It hardly left anything in the table, but its capacity and margins enticed global giants, with the Tatas ultimately acquiring the company. We are already seeing how crazy Essar steel scenario is becoming.
All this developments signal the bullish undertone in the sector. Another important aspect about this company is that a capacity of this kind takes time to get commissioned; 1 mtpa can take a good four-odd years. Also, there is the red tape on land acquisition etc. So, four-year adjusted inflation cost CAGR should be considered.
The market is looking for a positive outcome, which if happens at all, can change the course for the company. The stock has, meanwhile, doubled in last few months with good volumes.

Thermisch papier is papier waar een kleurstof in verwerkt zit die door hitte geactiveerd wordt.

Toepassing
Thermisch papier wordt meestal gebruikt voor kassabonnen, en vroeger ook voor fax-apparaten. Tegenwoordig worden ook de meeste treinkaartjes gedrukt op thermisch papier. In de printer zit een kleine laser die het papier kortstondig zo verhit dat het zwart wordt. Door een stelsel van spiegels wordt deze laserstraal in horizontale stroken over het papier geleid, door de laser snel aan en weer uit te schakelen kunnen afzonderlijke pixels gevormd worden, waardoor een tekst of afbeelding gevormd wordt.

Voor- en nadelen
Het grote voordeel van thermisch papier is dat het papier het enige verbruiksartikel is en er geen inkt of toner bijgevuld hoeft te worden in de printer.
Een nadeel is dat thermisch papier dunner is dan het meeste normale papier en daardoor minder duurzaam, bovendien kreukelt het makkelijker dan papier.
Het is gevoelig voor warmte, licht, plastic (waaronder plakband), leer, vet en vocht, maar ook zonder deze factoren zal de afbeelding na verloop van tijd vervagen. Kassabonnen op thermisch papier moeten dus voor archivering gekopieerd worden.
Thermisch papier kan geproduceerd worden met een laagje bisfenol A (BPA). BPA kan echter mogelijk via de huid het lichaam binnendringen en het hormoonsysteem verstoren. Per 2 januari 2020 mag thermisch papier verkocht in de Europese Unie niet meer dan 0,02 gewichtsprocent aan BPA bevatten.
Het papier kan niet meer gerecycled worden en dient weggegooid te worden bij het restafval. Sinds 2020 mogen kassabonnen wel bij het oud papier.

Home>Blog>The Paper Free Office – Dream or Reality?
A recent Industry Watch paper from AIIM, the global community of informational professionals, addresses whether the paper free office is a dream or reality. While there is movement towards becoming paper free, I think it is more appropriate to say businesses, medical offices and non-profit organizations are becoming "paper light".
Follows are some key findings from the study that support the cost and efficiency benefits of going paperless with document scanning services and document management solutions.
Improved sharability and searchability is the biggest reason why companies scan their documents and capture information electronically, followed by improvements in productivity and reduced storage space. Quickly and easily locating a business critical document and seamlessly sharing it across your organization strengthens your competitive advantage and improves efficiency.
Electronic-only filing would halve the storage space needed for paper in 5 years. The average proportion of office space taken up by paper is now 15.3%, and it would drop to 7.4% with an all-electronic filing policy, a saving of nearly 8% in overall office costs. Considering real estate costs in New York and other major cities, that would be a substantial amount of cost savings.
42% of users have achieved a payback period of 12 months or less from their scanning and capture investments.57% are posting a payback of 18-months or less.
Is your organization paperless, paper light or paper heavy? Have you thought about transitioning your paper heavy departments, such as accounts payable and human resources, to paper light?
To learn more about how to go paperless, contact an experienced document management service provider to help you eliminate the paper in your critical business processes. To learn more about the realities of a paper free office, download the full AIIM Industry Watch report here.


Once in a while a curious poker story hits the virtual wires in such a way as to raise more questions than answer those that are already obvious. Such is the case with a feature run late in the week by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, in which a handful of cash-game poker players have filed a complaint against the Station Casinos chain in connection with a denied bad-beat-jackpot payout last July.
First the nuts and bolts of the story, as more or less can be deciphered from the LVRJ report. Last Tuesday, Nevada Gaming Commission officials conducted a special hearing into Station Casinos' denial of a bad-beat jackpot payout to about 80 players who were at the designated BBJ tables at multiple Station casinos scattered around greater Las Vegas. The casino chain, popular with locals, runs a pooled BBJ that includes tables at all of its properties in one big BBJ pot.
That jackpot was hit, more or less, back on July 7th at Red Rock Station. In a hand that turned out not to collect the BBJ, 83-year-old Avi Shamir held the bottom end of a straight flush when the board was complete. while a rec player named Len Schreter had the top end of the straight flush. Both players must have held suited connectors with the three in-between cards that completed both straight flushes already on the board by the turn.
According to the LVRJ story, the action was on Shamir when the river card was dealt, but Schreter, in his exuberance, slapped his nut straight flush onto the table, face up. Schreter certainly had the winning hand, but within roughly 15 minutes, according to the LVRJ, Red Rock Station management had invalidated the BBJ win. Given that in the meantime, the casino chain's BBJ promo board had already started flashing, notifying players in all contributing Station rooms that the BBJ had been hit, this was… problem.
Several players, including Shamir, filed the complaint against the casino, and in an earlier hearing, the NGC had ruled in the players' favor. All the at-the-BBJ-table players across the Stations chain, more than 80 in total, were looking forward to divvying up various slices of about $120,000. About half of that, roughly $60,000, would have gone to Shamir.
Except Red Rock and Stations management appealed the NGC's findings, for a reason which somehow went unreported in the LVRJ piece. What the story does report is that video surveillance clearly showed Schreter acting out of turn, showing his BBJ-busting hand.
The trickiest parts of the story are buried within the LVRJ piece. The piece duly includes a quote from one of the aggrieved and complaining players, Michael Bluestein. Bluestein wasn't actually in the hand — or even in the casino — but he was still purportedly in line for a few hundred dollars of payout, since he was seated at a Santa Fe Station BBJ table when the hand at Red Rock occurred.
The LVRJ piece than dismisses Bluestein's beef by noting that the BBJ is paid for by a drop collected over time from all participating tables. Except that's not the full and proper reasoning, either; Bluestein is partly right, but a communication gap keeps the story from getting out in full to most readers.
Bad-beat jackpots slowly build up in time due to drop collected from participating tables. In the pooled Stations offering, that drop is $1 per hand, which is very typical. BBJs can reach tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars before they're hit, and it appears the minimum needed was aces over… something, probably jacks. There can also be a disconnect between what it takes to crack the jackpot and how much it actually contains. BBJs operate something like lotteries, in that the larger the payout, relative to the perceived odds of doing the cracking, then the more people will play them.
And with this missing information in hand, we can now return to the disputed BBJ hand involving Shamir and Schreter. We as readers know that Schreter acted out of turn after the river card was dealt. What we don't know is if both players were already all in at that point.
If either player was all in and the other had called, noting that this action likely would have occurred on the river, than Schreter's out-of-turn exposure was moot. However, — and this is despite the initial NGC ruling, which noted an unintentional error by Schreter — there were probably still chips available to be bet by both players. It's the only scenario under which any form of game play could still occur.
So, Schreter was in position, and he denied Shamir the chance to make a losing bet by exposing his own better straight flush. This is what Stations management termed as rules-breaking communications between players while the hand was still live, and why they denied the BBJ payout.
The problem with that is that it denies the payout to Shamir and all the other BBJ pool participants through no fault of their own. Schreter's premature exposure of his cards hurt only himself, not counting the looming BBJ payout. That's why the players have taken the matter to the NGC. That agency will issue a ruling in the matter next month, though Stations could still file a legal appeal should the chain again lose in the decision.
The disconnect, never really explained in the LVRJ piece, is why should the casino even care. After all, the $1 drop for the hand has already been collected, right? The answer can only be what was surmised above: The BBJ amount had swollen well beyond its normal range, and it was helping drive additional traffic to tables all across the Stations chain.
This is utterly missing from most reports on the dispute, but it's the balancing part of the story; Stations may be fighting based on a strict interpretation of its rules, but it's also important that the NGC already ruled once in favor of the players. There's no real reason for Stations to keep fighting unless there's a significant amount of temporary poker traffic at stake.
Personally, chasing a bad-beat jackpot isn't the best choice, in terms of return on investment. That tiny little bit of drop every hand adds up over time. And then, if you think you've finally hit it and it turns out not to be true, well that's a bad beat, indeed.

Das Anneliese Brost Musikforum in Bochum ist ein Konzerthaus für die Bochumer Symphoniker mit einem Saal für die städtische Musikschule. Die ehemalige St.-Marien-Kirche dient in dem von den Stuttgarter Architekten Bez+Kock konzipierten Gebäude als Foyer für beide Säle. Mit dem neuen Musikzentrum soll ein künstlerischer Anziehungspunkt entstehen, der in die Stadt und die Region ausstrahlt. Die Eröffnung fand am 28. Oktober 2016 statt. Der Name des Musikforums bezieht sich auf Anneliese Brost, deren Stiftung den Bau wesentlich unterstützte.

Vorgeschichte

Bereits im Laufe der 1960er Jahre, begleitend zur Umbenennung des Städtischen Orchesters in Bochumer Symphoniker, wurde der Bau eines Konzerthauses erwogen, um das Schauspielhaus als Spielstätte des Orchesters zu entlasten. Anstelle des Konzerthauses wurde jedoch die Ruhrlandhalle als Mehrzweckhalle errichtet. "Das heimatlose Herumirren, zuletzt zwischen dem akustisch prekären Bochumer Schauspielhaus und dem Audimax der Ruhr-Universität" dauerte infolgedessen an.

Konzept

Das Musikzentrum dient unter anderem als Heimat der Bochumer Symphoniker für Proben und Konzerte, Raum für die städtische Musikschule und Auftrittsort für ihre Schüler und Ensembles sowie als architektonisch ansprechender Bestandteil der Innenstadtgestaltung.

Errichtet wurde das Musikzentrum mit folgendem Raumprogramm:
 ein konzertant nutzbarer Großer Saal mit 1026 Plätzen und Bühne, links vom Eingang her gesehen, also südlich
 ein nicht fest bestuhlter, akustisch optimierter Multifunktionssaal mit etwa 250 Plätzen und Bühne, rechts vom Eingang her gesehen, also nördlich
 ein Foyer – auch für Lesungen, kleinere Konzerte, Zusammenkünfte und nicht Vorhersehbares
 Stimmzimmer, Probenräume, Künstlergarderoben
 Räume für die Infrastruktur eines konzertanten Hauses
 Notenarchiv, Inspizientenräume, Lagerräume

Entwicklung
Ursprünglich sollte die Stadt Bochum ein reines Konzerthaus erhalten. Immer wieder scheiterte die Durchführung des Projektes an fehlenden Mitteln, obwohl eine private Stiftung einen wesentlichen Teil der Baukosten aufbringen wollte. Zuletzt verbot 2010 die Bezirksregierung Arnsberg der Stadt, Eigenmittel für das Projekt aufzubringen, da die Stadt sich im Nothaushalt befand. Aufgrund der schwierigen Haushaltssituation schloss auch das Land eine Landesförderung als unrealistisch aus.

Aufgrund einer Konzeptänderung durch die Hinzunahme eines Musikschulsaals wurde aus dem Projekt Konzerthaus das Vorhaben Musikzentrum. Hierfür stellte die Landesregierung 2011 die erforderlichen EU-Fördermittel und Landesmittel in Aussicht.

Der Rat der Stadt Bochum beschloss am 9. März 2011 den Bau des Musikzentrums unter bestimmten Bedingungen, insbesondere rechtsverbindliche Bereitstellung privater Spenden in Höhe von 14,3 Mio. Euro, Verfügbarkeit von Fördermitteln in Höhe von 16,528 Mio. Euro, Einhalten einer Baukostengrenze von 33,3 Mio. Euro und gebäudebezogene Folgekosten von maximal 650.000 Euro.

Den Architektenwettbewerb gewann das Planungsbüro Bez+Kock aus Stuttgart. Im Entwurf "konnte der räumliche Charakter der Kirche bewahrt, ja, diese zum Maßstab erhoben werden: In ihrem Chor liegt der doppelte Haupteingang, ihr Schiff dient als Foyer, die Garderobe befindet sich unter der Empore der früheren Orgel, und von den vier Glocken, die, hergestellt vom Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gussstahlfabrikation, aus statischen Gründen aus dem Turm genommen wurden, schlägt die größte (mit dem Ton b wie Bochum) als Pausengong".

Von diesem Entwurf überzeugt, beschloss der Rat der Stadt am 5. Juli 2012, dass die genannten Bedingungen erfüllt seien. Mit dem Bau des Musikzentrums wurde 2013 begonnen. 14,6 Millionen Euro der Baukosten wurden von privaten Spendern beigetragen. Die kalkulierten Baukosten wurden letztlich um rund 10 % überschritten – ein für öffentliche Bauten dieser Größe gutes Ergebnis. Die Eröffnung erfolgte plangemäß im Oktober 2016. Die Bochumer Symphoniker "erhalten damit die Anerkennung, die sie sich schon lange erspielt, und das Domizil, das sie so lange entbehrt haben". Zudem "hat sich Bochum durch dieses Projekt als handlungsstarke und erfindungsreiche Kommune ins Bewusstsein gebracht".

Leitung
Im Sommer 2021 trat Tung-Chieh Chuang dort die Nachfolge von Steven Sloane als Intendant an.

Rezeption
Zum Eröffnungswochenende des Musikforums im Oktober 2016 kamen 40.000 Besucher. Die Konzertveranstaltungen haben eine Auslastung von über 95 % "und bezeugen die langfristige Perspektive dieser musikalischen Erfolgsgeschichte."

Auszeichnungen
Das Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr wurde mehrfach mit national und international ausgelobten Architekturpreisen ausgezeichnet, u. a. mit dem Architekturpreis des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen 2018, dem German Design Award (Winner) 2017 und dem Best Architects 18 Award.

Im Rahmen des 2018 vom BDA Bund Deutscher Architekten verliehenen Architekturpreises des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen urteilte die Jury:
"Das alte Kirchenschiff hat ein unerwartetes Raumpotenzial entwickelt, indem aus dem bloßen Entree und Verteiler ein eigenständiger Veranstaltungssaal geworden ist, der die beiden Konzertsäle ergänzt. Der Funktionswandel vom Sakral- zum profanen Konzertgebäude hat dem ehemaligen Gotteshaus nichts von seiner Würde genommen."

Kritik

Bund der Steuerzahler
Der Bund der Steuerzahler setzte das Vorhaben auf die Steuerverschwendungsliste 2011. Zur Begründung wurde u. a. angeführt, ein neues Konzerthaus in Bochum sei angesichts der in den Nachbarstädten Dortmund und Essen bereits existierenden Konzerthäuser nicht erforderlich. Weiterhin wurde kritisiert, dass die Betriebskosten von der Stadt zu tragen seien, was "nicht zum sonstigen Klagelied über die Finanzlage der Stadt" passe. Weiterhin übernahm die Stadt Bochum die Jahrhunderthalle Bochum mit der Zusicherung des Landes NRW über 9,53 Mio. Euro Fördergelder zum Zweck des Umbaus der St.-Marien-Kirche Bochum zu einem "Musischen Zentrum". Der Bund der Steuerzahler schrieb dazu in einem Artikel, dass dadurch zusätzlich mindestens eine halbe Million Euro an jährlichen Unterhaltskosten im Haushalt der Stadt anfallen würden.

Bürgerinitiative Bürgerbegehren

Eine Bürgerinitiative versuchte bereits vor dem Baubeschluss vom 5. Juli 2012 zu erreichen, dass der Beschluss über die Erfüllung der Baubedingungen an Stelle des Rates durch die Bürger der Stadt getroffen werden soll. Dies lehnten die großen Ratsparteien ab. Für ein entsprechendes Bürgerbegehren lagen nicht genug Unterschriften vor. Daraufhin initiierte die Bürgerinitiative ein neues Bürgerbegehren, um einen Bürgerentscheid zu erzwingen. Sie sammelte 14.924 Stimmen. Das Verwaltungsgericht Gelsenkirchen erklärte das Bürgerbegehren jedoch wegen nicht eingehaltener Fristen für unzulässig. Die Beschwerde gegen diese Entscheidung vor dem Oberverwaltungsgericht Münster endete damit, dass das Gericht die Fragestellung für unzulässig erklärte. Trotz des juristischen Scheiterns des Bürgerbegehrens befasste sich der Rat der Stadt am 13. Dezember 2012 mit dem Bürgerentscheid; auch der Rat stellte die Unzulässigkeit fest.

Mitglieder der Bürgerinitiative erstellten Gutachten zu den Folgekosten des Musikzentrums. Eines davon bezifferte die gebäudebezogenen Folgekosten gemäß DIN 18960 auf mindestens 2,13 Mio. Euro (statt 0,65 Mio. Euro). Überdies rechnete die Bürgerinitiative aus, dass jede verkaufte Eintrittskarte bei Errichtung des Musikzentrums mit 400 Euro subventioniert würde, bezogen auf alle Konzertbesucher (inklusive der Besucher, die keinen Eintritt bezahlen) mit 207 Euro.

Upon announcing their latest album, The Family Sign, Atmosphere revealed that this project would feature Slug "metaphorically touching on themes of fatherhood, loss, love, disappointment and jubilation[.]" It seems a natural progression, given intensely personal songs like Slug's ode to his deceased father, "Yesterday," in addition to previous detailed narratives in which the Minneapolis emcee replaced himself in favor of a fictional character. As such, The Family Sign stays true to its name, focusing heavily on interpersonal relationships and the gamut of emotions and complexities that inform them.
Tales like these are far too often overlooked in Hip Hop, and rarely are they told in such a way that puts the listener right in the midst of the story. Ant helps set the scene as well, as the lamenting guitar and keys punctuate the morose subject matter. "Became" is another foray into storytelling, but this time it's much more abstract, allowing the listener to project their own impressions onto the subject matter. "Just For Show" is more lively—though by no means lighthearted—with organs and guitars carrying as much sarcasm as Slug's delivery.
"She's Enough" is one of The Family Sign's few missteps. Though it's perhaps a relief to those yearning for a bit of levity on the project, the production and hook are both an absolute mess. Think of the song as "You" with awful execution. "Bad Bad Daddy" fits the album's aesthetic much better, but also should have been left on the cutting room floor. Here, Sluggo assumes the role of a despicable father, but his delivery gets too "nyah-nyah," even considering the subject matter.
The project quickly rebounds with "Who I'll Never Be," a touching ode to unrequited love. "Your Name Here" unmistakably serves as a sequel to "The Loser Wins," which appeared on To All My Friends, Blood Makes the Blood Holy. Whereas the latter was an angry conversation about learning when to cut ties with friends, the former takes place years later, where Slug runs into the aforementioned friend and has had time to cool off from the emotion of the situation.
The Family Sign is a heavy, moody album. There's not nearly as much humor here as with Atmosphere's previous two releases, but that doesn't make it any less of a quality addition to the group's catalogue. Slug and Ant are, once again, in near-perfect concert with regard to their vision for what the album should sound like, and what sort of thoughts and emotions it should convey and evoke. Further, it's fascinating to see Slug settling completely into his role of narrator—one that will assuredly continue to inspire awe for albums to come.


There are plenty of guides for hard content, grinding, leveling, but I wanted one location for all the tips and tricks.
Get an extra run out of keys or limited time events, simply open the event screen and lock your phone, come back when you have more energy and run the quest.
If you're planning on running Metal Parades try to time when you do them near level ups.
It costs 15 energy per run, so determine how many runs you can do in a full energy bar, then get your XP to level less than 1000 * max number of runs. Leveling will refill your energy and double your number of runs.
Use units with Defense Ignore like Dilma and Melchio during Metal Parades to do more than 1 damage at a time.
Use a friend or leader with an attack up during spark for Metal Parades. Rickel and Behemoth both do this. You'll do 2 damage during spark rather than just 1.
Use a Leon (Easily captured in Mistral) for your leader during Golden Vault or Jewel Parades. You'll max out the amount of zel you get from the Jewel units during spark. 1,000 zel for ghosts, 3,000 for kings, and 5,000 for gods.
Using spheres that add a chance to Ignore Target Defense or +50% or more spark damage will also speed up your metal parades.
If you have spare energy that will be wasted when you level up you can launch quests to collect the honor points then cancel out of them.
Summon only during Rate Ups for units you want, you still have a shot at every other unit in the game so summoning any other time is wasteful.
Watch the reddit for gem sales and stock up on Amazon coins when they are on sale, you can often stack several discounts for up to 50% off if you are patient.
Low level: With 15 energy ready, enough units to fill a party and an entry level healer: grab a metal key from the city and run metal parade, every run gives 1k XP which should get you to level 12 or higher in under an hour.
High level: Take advantage of half energy and double XP times on missions like Fourfold Pillar.
You'll be surprised how much XP you can get from Mistral dungeons, it can often be enough to level over and over on just the energy refill even at levels 80 and above.
You can get the exact number of XP you need to level by going to the home screen and holding anywhere at the top of the screen.
Use the awesome Brave Frontier Wiki to know exactly how much XP your unit needs to hit max so you don't waste any metal units getting there.
Units marked as "Favorite" don't appear in the fusion or selling screens, protect your units by favoriting ALL of them, you can always remove them from favorites later to sell or fuse them. Units in your squads also don't appear in these menus.
You can press and hold on your friends unit to show their type, sphere and BB/SBB level.
Killing the app and relaunching it will get a different selection of friends to choose Leaders from.
Avoid Mimics by not opening treasure chests if they're shaking.
Items left in your mailbox do not count toward your item/unit/key limit so leave them there a few days until you are ready to use them, just watch that they don't expire after 30 days.
Know what items to throw away so you can spend those gems on summons but reading the item guide.
You can get 2 free random rewards with the possibility of gems by watching each of the tutorial videos under Menu, Tips and Info.
A location (Vortex, Arena, etc) does not have to be center to open it, you can tap the locations on the edges of the screen to open them.
There is an easy to miss button under Menu to bring up the News menu after you've closed it.
Linking your facebook account to your BF account ensures that you can retrieve your account in the event of losing or breaking your phone/tablet.
Any time your game gets a download bar should be a sign that the servers and client are in flux, avoid rare summoning or spending energy you can't afford to lose for a short while in case your game crashes.
Check the newest posts on /r/bravefrontier as someone will probably have already posted their tale of woe if the servers are having issues.
