We are so glad that our debut novel has discovered its residence in Black Sparrow books, particularly as we up to date and diversified our choices to new readers. Do you consider your work with the Black Sparrow line and, in that case, how? How would you like the Fifth Wall to contribute to the heritage of the copy?
I'm deeply honored to be revealed in avant-garde, similar to Charles Bukowski, Paul Bowles and Lucia Berlin. In this sea of commercialized artwork, it's essential to develop and distribute literature that challenges conventions, speaks to depths and plays. So thank you for seeing my life in my work and incorporating it into the Black Sparrow line, and I sincerely hope that I'll find and publish new elements to discover the present state of affairs!
Contemplating your background in script and artwork. apparently an necessary part of your apply. How do you obtain or keep a visual expertise once you transfer clearly from fictional visual media?
It's humorous – I feel I cheat lots of people assume that I have a script for the background, but actually I'm just CiNEFiLE that has grown a era that is dependent on television and on households, who rely upon the screens. Normally, shows have long been a serious obsession, because they supply a direct expression and metaphor dissociative state, which I struggled with from an early age. I also took plenty of movie theories in a category where I turned obsessed with Deleuze's Cinema 1 & 2 texts and in addition The Fold as a new language from which you'll be able to contextualize your film and modern artwork. And although I had grown up as a visual artist – a nicely-recognized woman at college that you simply approached with a drawing aim – my interest in modern art actually started with art historical past in English and English, where artwork moved primarily from visible media to the present dwelling archive – I used to be fascinated by the concept smartphone) that not only artists are trendy archives, but in addition all of us who use know-how, because we are continuously saving life as it's; every thing happens to stay. And how does this new velocity at which we doc and work together cope with memory exercise – how do pictures have an effect on the means we keep in mind in the present day? I learn so much about Paul Virilio and Slavoj Zizek and WJT Mitchell, whose all-encompassing radical minds fall into the late aesthetic aesthetic of globalist globalization and its relationship with know-how, science, trauma and struggle. In response to my query, I feel my visible experience in my fiction paper is inherently constructed into its foundation; I do know the tales very cinematically and I've been informed that my sentence can resonate at a chromatic degree.
Sheila calls herself a "terrorist." In his opinion, the destruction sweeps the veneer with a "filter of this life" (69). How troublesome is it to produce your perspective as an writer and artist? Why does it matter?
Speaking about terrorism Sheila is filled with hooks from the previous TA, Adam. It's a scary, obscure scene that feels plenty of violation, although Sheila isn't or can't face Adam instantly. In truth, he draws the art mark into memory, calling it a terrorist. How can, if in any respect, register and / or strengthen the intimate trauma especially for ladies?
The expression healthy distance instantly comes to thoughts. I typically think about this word. Artwork allows us to create a healthy distance from the traumatic occasions that we frequently discover too close to us, occasions that hold us bodily and mentally sick. Art, like a very good power work, may give room for processing, opens up a new border the place we will play with material and reminiscence and create new stories that inform us about the methods we will use to free the restrictions we've set. I particularly like that writing is the strongest scalpel to restore energy to repressed, mutilated races, cultures and sexes. Kathy Acker's quote: "Writing for me is freedom. It has my (my) id, "he writes in his work in his foreword," the enthusiasm for writing is to me that the journey is a wierd factor: to write what a man feels is to destroy the prospects of pleasure.
Though there's doubt that Sheila places her romantic and family trauma "behind", the Fifth Wall challenges the conventional wisdom that such profitable is feasible or unambiguously desirable. Is Sheila's confrontation with the darker points of her earlier mannequin a more real looking or productive strategy to coping with the difficulties of life? Is that this lesson that a lady's character is especially suitable for sharing?
One in every of the biggest teachings my healing journey has taught me is that we're all superbly mistaken mixtures of lightness and darkness, and it's just on the downside by wanting immediately and speaking that we will overcome our unfavourable past and integrate the highest and greatest ourselves into the elect , to the desired id. And it isn't that it's a one-off – this can be a turbulent, lifelong course of that by its nature is a physique designed to maintain and report issues. We'll meet Sheila at the beginning of her emotional journey, because her physique forces her to face her psychological inadequacies by expressing them physically as energy outages. The physique can converse in scary and mysterious ways once you stop listening to it – like art or a terrorist, it has the capability to shock you to the present; illness is a language that many of us spend on lifelong translations. I consider that ladies include innate, typically latent intuitive forces as a result of we are deeply, biologically related to the cycle of literary creation, oceans and 6 and dream cycles – we're emotional wells with foundations that naturally dig deep and so much history as we continue to achieve this to the day we've been out of those depths. Can we, like the shamans, ask to journey to the Charnel Floor and stay there by taking all the things in, learning about it, understanding it and enhancing it inside, so that we will work collectively to help others improve.
Sheila thinks of demise habits that remind me of Walter Benjamin. At one level he describes a German artist who receives dying threats only "if he needs to show a person who dies naturally, in peace. "Sheila appears to consider that artwork is or may be certainly one of these places. "Maybe it is not that we romanticize our own destruction," he points out, "but we must fantasize to understand it" (41).
Benjamin has had an analogous concept. He says that "
How can we understand Sheila's efforts on this mild? Is it meaningful, or a minimum of comfort, to be present in the tales of demise?
I mean, the whole lot is about demise – all the great mystery and stubbornness we all expertise – what Tolkien calls an ideal escape – it is in all places, and all in all, and in the trendy western world, which works very onerous to suppress this The thriller, artists, writers, philosophers, and healers have the activity of exploring these invisible areas and making them maps to inspire and assist others. The danger for scanning "California", as I do know that I have come – we're principally all in this together; The novel offers us with the deepest connection from the perspective of type – to be in the thoughts / language of another person and to create, collectively, the words of one other based mostly on our personal expertise – with the story. In different phrases, tales join us together; they assume we're much less alone.
We frequently think of grief (what it means) as a natural response to loss, especially to the mum or dad. But with Sheila, it's onerous to bully a mother she doesn't know. He actually reads his childhood house, apparently waiting for the closure. When all is claimed and completed, he understands that his residence was a second when his mother pulled the set off.
To her so many of us, our mother really mean once we speak about the house. What do you assume the fifth wall should tell us about mothers and our commitment to the residence they create and destroy?
Oh, pricey. That is troublesome, as a result of I showed wrote an entire ebook to look at this concern, and I'm nonetheless unclear! However what I can say is this. I consider that trauma will shift to DNA. That history lives in the body. I consider in continuing the healing course of. I've experienced profound moments in the 30's, the place I really feel my very own body as the physique of my mom. I have traveled – a psychedelic realms of crops with and with out them – deeply sick in my body and communicated with the DNA (my mom in all probability read this and thought of God) and felt not solely my mother, however her mother and mother's mother and her mother's mom. We're all inextricably linked. The mother does not have to die so as to feel her loss. Objects – particularly giant ones, comparable to the childhood residence – typically work to create a way of root, historical past, basis stability, however they are just ships; essential, reminiscences, reside in us, anyplace. The fifth wall assaults these concepts in the similar method that Sheila attacks her mother's house progressively – blindly and with merciless energy, which appears to be dancing.
Once we soften the Fifth Wall, readers need to know what comes subsequent for you. Do you will have a brand new novel on the approach, or ought to we take a look at the next manuscript?
There are various small tasks in the works. Lately, I had a really limited version of three hybrid prose publications referred to as Cowl the Earth was released in Los Angeles by means of local designer Scott Barry (Instagram: @miesenplace). Last venture, which I'm excited, there is a dramatic 30-minute pilot, which takes place in Los Angeles, however you want to stay up to date for extra details!


Casino operators are circling Pennsylvania's empty mall anchor stores.
Penn National Gaming wants to open Hollywood Casino York at CBL Properties' York Galleria Mall, in Springettsbury Township, Pa.
Penn National Gaming Inc. filed an application with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board to open a mini casino with 500 slot machines and 20 tables, in a 79,000-square-foot former Sears space at CBL Properties' York Galleria Mall, in Springettsbury Township, Pa. Construction of the $120 million casino is expected to take a year once approvals are in place.
"We explored numerous other potential opportunities within York County, but the mall's convenient location, existing infrastructure and ample parking … helped cement our decision," said Penn National CEO Timothy J. Wilmott in a news release.

It doesn't matter who you are, you need to know the project requirements, risks, roles and responsibilities.
If you don't already know me, a quick background: I have worked in AEC for 30 years—in architecture, engineering and construction. This wide-ranging experience in our industry has been a gift in that I have been able to see the process from many different angles. Add to that a heavy involvement in the Construction Specifications Institute (No, they are not only about specs!) and I feel uniquely qualified to write this blog.
There is a commonality in AEC, no matter what discipline in which you work: architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, product reps, owners, etc. That commonality is project delivery processes and contract administration. It doesn't matter who you are, you need to know the project requirements, risks, roles and responsibilities. Period. No question about it. No brainer.
But, guess what? Very few in relation to the whole of our industry have this key knowledge. WHAAAAAT? How in the world do you work on a project and not know this?
What is the relationship between the General Conditions, Supplementary Conditions, Administrative Requirements and Part 1 of your spec section?
The important point here is that the items above and many more affect every one of you on a project, regardless of your job title. You can't possibly efficiently and effectively do your job without having this knowledge. Your level of risk skyrockets if you don't know the contractual requirements of your project (or at a minimum where to look for them) and your efficiency plummets. In a "time is money" business, this is unacceptable.
Now, you might be thinking something like "This is for the powers-that-be to understand." That is flawed thinking. Very, very flawed.
People in AEC are getting out of school or training with the false belief that they are armed with what they need to productively enter the workplace.
Do you want to be the one that makes the mistake on the project that somebody didn't spot because you don't have this basic knowledge? Do you want to be the one that wastes a boatload of unnecessary hours on your project because you don't know or understand the rules of the game? Personally, I am not fond of a trial-by-fire education. I would much rather be proactive. I would much rather know what my peers do not and share that knowledge.
Do you know the worst part? This education is not happening in colleges, the trades or by most manufacturers for their product reps. People in AEC are getting out of school or training believing they are armed with what they need to productively enter the workplace. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
When do these people figure out that they are missing a major piece of their education and training? It is typically when something goes wrong or when someone "in the know" sets them straight.
Now, I am not faulting anybody here. Nobody is getting this education. How in the world are you supposed to know what you don't know?
There are a lot of industry organizations that will teach bits and pieces of this education. Unfortunately, most of them are discipline focused and don't really give you the entire picture. This is a "team" industry. You absolutely cannot work in a bubble and do your job well. I personally have only found one organization that teaches Project Delivery Education, cradle-to-grave, in a way that ANY member of ANY discipline will come away with valuable knowledge that will set you apart and will change the way you work immediately.
That organization is CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) and that education is CDT (Construction Document Technologist). Go look it up here: http://www.csiresources.org/certification/cdt.
The education is invaluable, very cost effective and the certificate will set you apart as an industry professional who truly understands how the entire project process is supposed to work. You will make far less mistakes, know how to find the information you need, understand the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved and reduce risk on your projects.
I have been teaching CDT, on my own time, for about four years now. I have taught everyone from emerging to seasoned professionals in every single discipline in AEC. I have lost count of how many have attended my classes but I know it is not nearly enough. I do this because it matters. A lot.
It almost hurt when an architect in one of my classes with 40 years of experience said to me, "I am about to retire. I wish I would have known these things." Or the time an engineer asked, "What's Division 01?" Or maybe the time a subcontractor said, "I didn't know these requirements were part of the CONTRACT. I thought I just had to look at my section." Or perhaps, the product rep who didn't understand that a design professional can't just use manufacturer language that dictates means and methods.
I could go on for days with these examples.
AEC Industry professionals, in all disciplines, are not getting holistic project delivery education which is creating risk and inefficiencies.
Get your CDT from CSI.
The last five lines are all you need to know. Your schools and training programs are not giving you what you need. Until they figure it out, be smart and get it yourself. Everyone you work with will thank you!
Editor's note: A version of this blog post first appeared on LetsFixConstruction.com and has been republished on Durability + Design with permission.
Yes, this is a problem with education. Although all members of the construction team should know these things, I hold architects especially accountable because they're the ones who wrote the rules. AIA produces the general conditions and other documents architects use, yet these documents get little attention in architecture school. Schools focus almost entirely on planning and presentation. They seem to feel that construction documents, arguably their most important tools in communicating with contractors, are something they can learn about on the job. The problem with that is, they then have to learn about documents - and about such mundane things as properties of materials, how things go together, codes, life safety, the fact that real world clients have limited budgets, and more - from people who didn't learn about them. The school of hard knocks is a good teacher, but isn't the purpose of school to learn about the basics of your job, what your tools are and how to use them, and how to work in the real world? Those are the things that should be taught in school, leaving the entirely subjective aspects of design to be learned on the job.


Hempstead, Texas Juvenile Lawyer James Sullivan is Board Certified in Juvenile Law, a Christian (Catholic) and a strong supporter of religious freedom. He has friends of all faiths. He fights for all people no matter their background or circumstances. As a Christian, he believes that God blesses us to be a blessing to others. Sullivan uses his talents in the law and in public speaking to defend adults and juveniles burdened by governmental prosecution. Sullivan also believes that many times what man meant for evil that God uses for good.
In the Houston Chronicle recently, the story of Julie Aftab is a good example. At age 16, Aftab was attacked with battery acid in her native Pakistan for being a Christian. Her attackers lied against her, falsely claiming she blasphemed Islam to justify their vicious and violent attack. Fortunately, thanks to the Shriner's Hospital for Children, she was able to come to Houston for treatment. Over time, She was able to forgive her attackers.


Carmine's one of the best restaurants in Washington DC hosted all 53 Miss America contestants to discuss science, technology, engineering and math jobs.
Today, 53 of America's most beautiful and intelligent young women invaded the white house in capital hill. When the Miss America contestants came to Washington, science, technology, Engineering, and math or stem jobs are on the agenda. Tommy McFly caught up with the women for dinner and has his take on the ladies who will represent our region.
There she is. Miss America or is it her or her, maybe her?
Hold the phone. Miss DC isn't from Washington?
So, I think it's very well known that DC has a lot of transient residents. Not everyone here is from the district.
She's not wrong. According to the US Census Bureau, we've added nearly 50,000 new residents since 2010.
Education is very important to us and we've talked about this a great deal.
For many of these ladies, you'll see those stem jobs and scholarships taking a front seat this year.
What's your really quick advice to a little girl who may be watching with their family?
Think outside the box of what stem is and that's something I really learned this year.
What if we award 45 million dollars each year to young women across the country?
Who's going to become Miss America on the 14th?
One of these ladies will. abc 7 on September 14 live in Atlantic City at Carmine's in The quarter, Tommy McFly, abc 7 News.
Lots of sparkle in that room. To see any of Tommy's stories, just go to wjla.com and if you have a story that you think Tommy needs to know about, all you gotta so is send him a tweet. And that's it for abc 7 News at 5.

New guy here. Trying to get into the industry. Gonna beat a dead horse and continue to bump this thread, as time goes on policies change. Getcha popcorn. I was a pot smoker til Thanksgiving 2017. Dropped it cold turkey (and ate a bunch of cold turkey sammiches!) as it has led me nowhere but misery and dead-end jobs. I WANT A CAREER! I have no desire to use again and understand I can't in this industry. I should not have to prove to any forum user that I've kicked the habit and I don't want any flak for it. Please give productive advice or ignore me.
So, what are the starting companies with sponsored training that will only do a UA? I've checked the link for Hair vs UA and a lot of it seems outdated with Wil-trans/Jim Palmer and CRST being the most updated and offering sponsored training. I'm looking for as many options as possible. I'm in the Phoenix area if that helps. Another month and I will be fine for a hair test, and no, I do not have the means to sit around another month to be on the safe side for a hair test, I can pee clean all day and tomorrow as I've been self-testing at home. I need to get something going now....like yesterday. Repeating myself, I have no desire to smoke pot again, ever! Thanks for any information.

Greenwich Native Hope Hicks Gets Job In Trump White House
By Russell Blair

Hope Hicks, the young political newcomer from Greenwich who was the early chief spokeswoman for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, has landed a White House job.
Trump's transition team announced Thusday that Hicks would serve as director of strategic communications.
"Sean, Hope, Jason and Dan have been key members of my team during the campaign and transition," Trump said in a written statement. "I am excited they will be leading the team that will communciate my agenda that will Make American Great Again."
Sean is Sean Spicer, the former communications director and chief strategist for the Republican National Committee. Jason is Jason Miller, who worked for Ted Cruz during the Republican presidential primary before joining Trump's team ahead of the general election campaign. And Dan is a Trump loyalist who started running the campaign's social media operation in February.
But Hicks, 28, was one of Trump's first campaign staffers, going back to his announcement in June 2015. She worked for a small New York City public relations firm that represents Trump, and became close friends with Ivana Trump and was welcomed into the family's inner circle.
"Hope Hicks is incredible," former Trump adviser and New Britain native Paul Manafort told The Courant in a July interview. "This is her first campaign. She's in her mid-20s, and she has shown incredible depth and breadth. I would never know this is her first campaign. She has an incredible skill set in dealing with the media."

In this paper, we describe the first data release of the Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA) Deep Extragalactic Observations (VIDEO) survey. VIDEO is a~12 deg2 survey in the near-infrared Z, Y, J, Hand Ks bands, specifically designed to enable the evolution of galaxies and large structures to be traced as a function of both epoch and environment from the present day out to z = 4, and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the most massive galaxies up to and into the epoch of reionization. With its depth and area, VIDEO will be able to fully explore the period in the Universe where AGN and starburst activity were at their peak and the first galaxy clusters were beginning to virialize. VIDEO therefore offers a unique data set with which to investigate the interplay between AGN, starbursts and environment, and the role of feedback at a time when it was potentially most crucial. We provide data over the VIDEO-XMM3 tile, which also covers the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey Deep-1 field (CFHTLS-D1). The released VIDEO data reach a 5s AB-magnitude depth of Z = 25.7, Y = 24.5, J = 24.4, H = 24.1 and Ks = 23.8 in 2 arcsec diameter apertures (the full depth of Y = 24.6 will be reached within the full integration time in future releases). The data are compared to previous surveys over this field and we find good astrometric agreement with the Two Micron All Sky Survey, and source counts in agreement with the recently released UltraVISTA survey data. The addition of the VIDEO data to the CFHTLS-D1 optical data increases the accuracy of photometric redshifts and significantly reduces the fraction of catastrophic outliers over the redshift range 0 < z < 1 from 5.8 to 3.1 per cent in the absence of an i-band luminosity prior. However, we expect that the main improvement in photometric redshifts will come in the redshift range 1 < z < 4 due to the sensitivity to the Balmer and 4000 Å breaks provided by the near-infrared VISTA filters.

Claims corporate emails remain safe from government surveillance.
Research in Motion has refuted a new round of Indian media reports claiming that the BlackBerry maker has granted the government the encryption keys to its secure corporate email and messaging services.
India is one of the Canadian smartphone maker's few growing markets, where it is expanding aggressively, despite growing adoption of competing iPhone and Android devices elsewhere.
For years, RIM has been grappling with the Indian Government over the Government's demand for the ability to monitor encrypted email and messages between BlackBerry handsets.
The Economic Times this week reported that RIM had provided the government a solution that gave it access to corporate emails, citing a telecom department official and certain documents.
RIM reiterated that it could not provide access to its enterprise email and messaging services as it did not possess the requisite encryption keys, which remained in the control of its corporate clients.
"RIM is providing an appropriate lawful access solution that enables India's telecom operators to be legally compliant with respect to their BlackBerry consumer traffic, to the same degree as other smartphone providers in India," it stated.
"But this does not extend to secure BlackBerry enterprise communications."
David Paterson, RIM's head of government relations, said the Indian Government recognised that encryption was fundamental to attracting and maintaining international business in the country.
Paterson said the Government would not make any demands that could jeopardise foreign investment in India.
Enterprise clients -- corporations and government agencies signed up to the BlackBerry Enterprise Server -- are assigned encryption keys stored only on individual user accounts.
For such users, any data sent from a BlackBerry is scrambled at the source and reconstituted on arrival at the receiving device.

Hyundai phoning it in with new lock system
A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird: Hyundai: Use your phone to drive Long, long ago, cars didn't have keys.
Brendan Mcaleer Jan 4, 2013 2:00 AM
A biweekly roundup of automotive news, good, bad and just plain weird:
Hyundai: Use your phone to drive
Long, long ago, cars didn't have keys. Then they did, but you had push-button starters as well, then power door locks, then remote keyless entry, and now you can just walk up to the car, touch the door and in you go!
Not good enough, as far as Hyundai is concerned.
They're looking to give owners full access to their cars through their smartphones: swipe to unlock the doors, hook the phone up via Bluetooth to start the engine.
Excellent stuff, at least in theory, and certainly doable using available modern technology. Almost every car these days has Bluetooth, and touchscreen interfaces can be optioned on the most basic machines.
Of course, anyone who's had their phone run out of batteries and/or stolen will see that there's a few kinks to be worked out. Hyundai is likely to preview the technology in their Euro-only i30, but plans on running the system through the full range starting in 2015. Washington state charges EV owners
Given the efforts to incentivize electric vehicle ownership, charging owners an extra tax for having a plug-in car seems a bit counter-intuitive. For Washington state residents, however, it's a reality.
No big deal really, just a US$100 charge against the fact that EV owners won't be paying into the road tax that's imposed on gasoline sales. A hundred bucks a year seems hardly a cause for complaint.
However, complaining about taxation is practically an Olympic event. Washington's policy-makers are indicating a move away from gasoline tax to a user-fee system as more efficient cars become readily available.
Alfa-Romeo promises new model for 2013
You could argue that either Ferrari or Lamborghini were the best iconic brand to represent the thrill of con brio Italian motoring, but you couldn't make the argument to anyone driving an Alfa. Or fixing their Alfa.
The prancing stallion and rampant bull make exotica for the super-rich, and Fiat makes workhorse machinery for paisans. Alfa-Romeo, on the other hand, makes special cars that ordinary people could still aspire to own. At least, they used to.
We'll be getting Alfa back in this country before too long, which is good news for driving enthusiasts looking for a little Italian flair. The manufacturer has trademarked the 4C designation in North America, and is projecting to lift the wraps off their latest creation this year - details still to come as to when the cars will actually arrive on our shores.
Renault bringing back Alpine
If you've never heard of a Renault Alpine, then listen up: one of the most iconic French manufacturers, Alpine is responsible for many mid-engined special-builts like the Clio V-6 and the 1980s R5s.
Perhaps the best known Alpine is the A110, a rally winning, bright blue machine that looks a bit like a Porsche 904.
The new Alpine is going to be the size of a Mazda MX-5 or Porsche Cayman and will offer around 250 h.p. Will we get one here? Probably not. C'est dommage.
AMG shrinks their V-8
I thoroughly love Mercedes-Benz and their obsession with stuffing big engines into small cars. These days though, you can't just go around with huge-displacement muscle cars: turbocharging is the new black.
Similar in size to the new Audi powerplants, AMG's replacement for their 6.2-litre V-8 will be a 4.0-litre V-8 with forced induction ensuring that horsepower levels remain healthily in the mid-400 range. Better yet, the torque on tap that forced induction provides should make the new car even quicker, although we'll miss some of that sonic excellence of the old "big stove."
Bentley: New convertible launched, priest fired
Still powered by a gargantuanly powerful 600+ h.p. W12, the new Bentley GT Speed convertible is one big, fast machine. Put the top up and it should crack the 200 miles per hour (322 km/h) barrier. Put the top down and your hair will probably blow off, assuming you have any.
In an unrelated story, Bentley has also blown off their in-house chaplain, serving the good reverend with walking papers just days before Christmas. Thus ends more than a decade of tradition at one of the world's more traditional auto-makers.
Bentley cites the move as an effort to be more sensitive towards their multi-faith workforce. We're sure that whoever's got the job to test out the brakes from a 200 mph stop will be doing plenty of in-house praying.

Jagdish Singh books India rare Winter Olympics berth
New Delhi, Delhi, IndiaUpdated: Feb 03, 2018, 08:56 AM IST
Jagdish Singh To represent India in Winter Olympics. Photograph:(Others)
Cross-country skier Jagdish Singh has qualified for the Winter Olympics, one of only two Indian athletes who will be seen in action at Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Singh and veteran luger Shiva Keshavan will comprise the Indian contingent for the Games starting February 9, Indian Olympic Association (IOA) secretary-general Rajeev Mehta told AFP on Saturday.
It will be a maiden Olympic appearance for 26-year-old Singh, who booked his place with just one point over the qualification mark.
He will be participating in the 15-km Nordic skiing freestyle event that is scheduled for February 16.
The Winter Games Federation of India (WGFI) is not recognised by the IOA, which has made it tough for Indian athletes to break through to the big stage.
Keshavan, 36, has been India's only regular face in the Winter Games since making his debut in 1998.
In the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, India was represented by three athletes: Keshavan, Himanshu Thakur (alpine skiing) and Nadeem Iqbal (cross-country skiing).
Cricket-crazy India has never won a medal at the winter games and has only ever scooped one individual gold at an Olympics, with Abhinav Bindra taking the honours in a rifle shooting event at the 2008 Beijing summer games.

For this large scale exhibition, Under the sun: Reimagining Max Dupain's Sunbaker, ACP has invited 15 artists to create new works in response to the iconic Sunbaker by revered Australian photographer Max Dupain. Through a diverse range of immersive and thought-provoking works, the exhibition explores views of our culture, our identity and our nationhood. Reflecting Australia's multi-cultural, multi-ethnic and multi-faith nature, this audacious exhibition enables a creative and often very personal exploration of the question 'is there something new under the sun?' The 15 artists not only interrogate the social and political implications embedded within this image but also challenge the status of this photograph in our visual culture. Pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium, their works will expose the aesthetical complexities at play in discussions around collective identity. For the exhibition Scarce has created deeply personal work. Playing tribute to her grandfather, Scarce uses vernacular photography and her iconic hand blown bush yams to create an installation highlighting her grandfathers many hardships during his life as an opal mine worker in South Australia. A man who provided for his own family and contributed to broader society, yet remained excluded from the rights of Australian citizenship until 1967.

Fighting the California Wildfires With Water Made From Air
An Israeli company brought a special emergency response vehicle that can pull water from the air to California to support the firefighters battling the flames.

There is nothing as refreshing as a bottle of clean great tasting water, especially if you are hot and tired and incredibly thirsty. That's the usual condition of a firefighter on the front lines of a wildfire.
An Israeli water technology firm recognized the need for clean drinking water and brought one of its machines that can pull water from the air to the firefighters combatting the raging Californian wildfire.
"The chairman of our company in Israel believes very strongly in humanitarian efforts to assist those who have lost everything in California," said Mr. Yehuda Kaploun, President of Watergen US in the company's press release. "If we can help relieve the burden by providing them with clean water, that is something that we will most definitely do."
The US branch of Watergen brought one of its emergency response vehicles (ERV) to California to help the brave men and women battling the flames. This all-terrain ERV carries the 800 Kilogram (1,763 lbs.) GEN-350 machine that provides 600 liters (156 gallons) of water a day.
The Camp Fire, named after Camp Creek Road where it originated, started on November 8 and destroyed 17,000 buildings, burned over 150,000 acres and killed 81 people. On November 25, it was finally put out but will be remembered as the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California's history.
"Providing the police and firefighters with the basic necessity of drinking water allows them to serve and help for longer periods of time," said the CEO of Watergen US, Ed Russo. "It would especially reduce the need for plastic bottles, which sitting in the sun would be unhealthy."
Helping the firefighters was natural for Watergen, a company that is known for its clean water initiatives and for providing humanitarian disaster relief. Watergen USA has helped in many disasters in the past, including Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Hurricane Irma in South Florida and Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle.
The company was even on the World Economic Forum's list of the world's top technology pioneers in 2018.
Watergen USA also launched a Go Fund Me campaign where it has promised to match the goal of $300,000 to give two additional ERVs equipped with the GEN-350 to help provide clean drinking water to the fire victims.
There are other atmospheric water generating devices, including Zero Mass which is designed to use solar energy and Drinkable Air, a company whose device can be used as a dehumidifier.
The cost of water from these types of devices depends on the price of electricity. Watergen claims to be the most cost-effective machine producing 4 liters of water for every kilowatt of energy at a cost of fewer than 2 cents per liter.
"There's a water crisis in this country, and when there's an emergency, we believe it's best to provide a humanitarian effort to provide water for needy people," Russo said.

The World Bank Takes More Than it Gives
Julie Light
An Interview on Healthcare Privatization in India with Dr. Vineeta Gupta
Please Note: This action has been discontinued.
Dr. Vineeta Gupta is a physician and human rights activist based in Punjab, India. She has focused her efforts on World Bank efforts to privatize healthcare in Punjab. According to Dr. Gupta, the result of World Bank policies has not been greater access to healthcare. Instead she says the opposite is true: those who cannot pay are simply denied basic health services. Corporate Watch caught up with Dr. Gupta in Washington DC where she is participating in protests against World Bank and IMF policies.
VG: The World Bank is funding many health corporations in the state of Punjab...User fees have gone up, treatment costs have gone up. They have gone out of the reach of poor people who now are not able to have access to basic healthcare. In the constitution it's written that India would strive to give its citizens better healthcare, better nutrition.
CW: Are these corporations replacing public healthcare provided by the government?
VG: They have created a confusing situation. They have the state run services along with the private ones. State run services are at primary level. Everything else has been given to the corporations. Even the healthcare users don't know where the state services end and the private ones begin.
CW: What impact has that had on primary healthcare for poor people?
VG: They don't have access to healthcare. They were not able to afford it previously, but with the treatment costs going up they definitely don't have access to healthcare now. ... It's a big joke and a very sad story at the same time. Every project the World Bank undertakes, it says it does to alleviate poverty. It begins with instituting a user fee and ends with (supposedly) alleviating poverty. I cannot understand it. How can they say they are alleviating poverty and then put everything out of the reach of poor people, whether it is drinking water or other essential services?
They are out to get blood money and in the process they create poverty, and a wider gap between rich and poor.
They are out to get blood money and in the process they create poverty, a wider gap between rich and poor, they subjugate us socially and economically by putting lots and lots of debt on us.
CW: Are citizens in Punjab organizing to oppose these private healthcare corporations?
VG: It's a very new movement. We are trying to make people aware of what the World Bank is doing and we hope to gather momentum at the grassroots level. The affected should also rise up. It's good that we are getting help from US citizens and other people around the world, but it needs to be picked up in our country also.
CW: Give us a specific example of how people's health is being affected.
VG: It's my personal experience that there is no sterilization (of medical equipment) being done. People talk about the spread of AIDS and other communicable diseases (from unsterile equipment.) The World Bank spends millions on healthcare but they are increasing the spread of all communicable diseases.
Secondly, people who cannot afford private care go to these corporation hospitals and they are turned away. They have no choice; they die on the road. I have seen a patient delivering in a rickshaw myself. She was turned away from the private hospital, because of her torn clothes. Previously she would have had the option of going to a state hospital--good or bad that's another matter. But now without money in their pockets, the poor cannot go. The World Bank has a special category for the poor, where the poor can produce an identity card proving they are poor and get health services. But how many poor people have access to that?
I have seen a patient delivering in a rickshaw myself. She was turned away from the private hospital.
CW: Are these Indian or foreign corporations that are receiving World Bank funds?
They are parastatal. The World Bank says the state health services are not as good as they should be. So to better it they are creating health corporations, but the same people who head the health services head the health corporation. How does that make a difference?
CW: Tell me about your organization.
VG: I have been very involved with the PUCL, the People's Union for Civil Liberties for the last 14 years as a human rights volunteer. I am now also involved with INSAAF International, which believes in women's initiative in dealing with human rights, not just related to female issues, but human rights in general. We believe that women can provide leadership on all human rights issues.
CW: As a physician do believe that healthcare is a right?
VG: Of course! Providing basic healthcare is a fundamental right to a citizen of a country. Without basic healthcare, housing and food no nation can progress.
CW: How can people in Punjab fight these policies when the only money coming in for healthcare is being channeled to the private sector?
VG: The World Bank takes more from us than it gives. We need to make people aware that it's their money being taken by the World Bank. Every year from '93-'98 we paid more in interest and loan repayments than we received.
CW: What impact can protests like this one in Washington DC have on Bank policies?
VG: As this movement grows we can force our domestic governments to be self-sufficient. Through coordination of an international movement we can force the World Bank and IMF to close down. I am very, very hopeful.

This cluster explores the relationship between the family, broadly defined, and emotion.

Families have long been viewed as the seat of emotion ‒ an institution that provides most people with their first emotional relationships, that educates children in proper emotional performances, and which provides the site of many of our strongest emotional investments. The aim of this cluster is to bring together researchers working on the history of the family to discuss ideas, network, share working papers, and to allow formal and informal collaborations.
In 2016‒2017, the cluster has been particularly interested in the relationship between memory, family and emotion. How are families remembered; what role does lineage play in our identity; how does the family shape the self; and what role does emotion play in such processes? We have a particular interest in how different objects, material cultures and spaces shape these relationships. How do family photographs conserve and reproduce emotion? What role does emotion play in processes of inheritance? How does this change over time and across space?
More broadly, we continue our long-running interest in emotion in family relationships and dynamics, with work on maternity and paternity, parenting practices, love and marriage, and childhood continuing to be strong areas for collaboration.

U2 – druga linia norymberskiego metra. W 2020 roku liczyła 16 stacji.

Historia
Południowa odnoga linii U2 została zbudowana w latach 1978–1984, dwa lata później pociągi dotarły do Röthenbach. Północny odcinek linii był otwierany etapami do 1996 roku, kiedy to otwarto stacje do Herrnhütte. Przedłużenie do miejskiego lotniska, liczące 3,3 km długości i 2 stacje, otwarto w 1999 r.

Charakterystyka
Linia U2 jest całkowicie podziemna, choć na stację Opernhaus przedostaje się światło słoneczne. Wszystkie stacje mają perony wyspowe. W 2009 rozpoczęto próbne jazdy testowe całkowicie autonomicznych składów, które mogą poruszać się bez potrzeby obecności maszynisty. Stałą eksploatację bez maszynistów rozpoczęto 2 stycznia 2010. Linię obsługują składy czterowagonowe w godzinach szczytu, i dwuwagonowe poza szczytem.

Q: OpenSolaris / ZFS / Ubuntu / VMware Server / Esxi  My workstation is running OpenSolaris - the main reason is for its ZFS support. I've been really happy with it so far and my data is still in good shape!
Workstation SPEC:

*

*8G MEM (VM purpose)

*6x1TB HD (storage)

*Quad Core Intel Q6600

I bought this hardware with storage and visualization in mind.
Ideally I should have two boxes - one NAS server, doing only this and nothing else,
and a workstation running a more user-friendly OS. However I can't make up my mind. These are all my ideas, please guys tell me what you think. I want to avoid overkill.
Goal:

*

*Dev platform

*Multimedia

*Virtualisation

*Storage

Ideas:

*

*Ubuntu on my workstation and running OpenSolaris in a VM using raw disk and I should be able to import all my drive without losing data. And have a nice and friendly OS.

*Spending some money and put my disk in a cheap box and then only use it as a NAS

*Core i5 + 8G -> Running OpenSolaris NAS + VM

*Spending even more money to get a Core i5 and run ESXi on it, create a VM with OpenSolaris, and import all my disk.
Any thoughts?

A: Do you know about ZFS-Fuse?  It's stable and fast enough for everyday use now.  I'd really recommend it over running an OpenSolaris VM just for ZFS, especially now that OpenSolaris has been discontinued.
If you want a dedicated ZFS NAS, take a look at FreeNAS.

A: Are you running OpenSolaris as a VM because you want ZFS? If so there are a couple options for Linux you could try.
One possible option has already been mentioned which is the ZFS FUSE project. I have used this in conjuction with ESXi and have found that when combining it with an iSCSI target it becomes a little too slow for really good performance. For me VMware complained a lot about the latency increasing between the server and the storage target.
Your other option is a project started by a group over at Lawrence Livermore National Labs. They are in the process of porting ZFS over to native Linux kernel modules. I have also used this after having issues with the FUSE equivilent.
I have to say its not quite complete but had all of the feauters I required (raid and dedup). Currently they are up to v0.6.0-RC9 which is based on ZFS pool v28 and FS v5.
I am not sure where OpenSolaris currently stands on ZFS version.
The benefit of running ZFS as native kernel module is you can access ZFS vdisks as native block devices inside of Linux meaning you can format the whole disk with ZFS instead of having to format it so you can store the VM and then having the vdisk on top of that. This way should provide better performance.
One disclaimer that I found after little research, ZFS on Linux is NOT BOOTABLE with out a little work. The link I have included is for Ubuntu which I have had sucess with in the past.
As far as what to do about VMs, you have a few option like you mentioned. I personally run an ESXi server and VMware Workstation. It really come down to what you plan to do with the VM, for example Multimedia will work better on VMware Workstation.
Straight virtualization such a hosting servers will work better on ESXi because it was pretty much built for that purpose and becasue of that has some picky hardware requirements. Not everything is supported by ESXi.
If you are using virtualization to achieve a multi-platform development environment then I would go with VMware Workstation it only $199 and $80 off if you are a student.
Hope this helps a little.

A: Please don't use virtualization on that Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor! While it won't be a total waste if you insist on doing it anyway, there is a huge disincentive to doing so: your processor is so old that it does not have the Extended Page Tables (EPT) CPU instructions. This means that page tables in the guest have to be emulated in software, which is slow. Benchmarks comparing performance between EPT-enabled and non-EPT processors heavily favor the EPT processors.
Since EPT has been on three generations of Intel CPUs by now (original Nehalem / Core i7, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge), your hardware is, frankly, obsolete for the purpose of virtualization. So either don't virtualize, or upgrade.
The rule of thumb is: if the processor's branding is named "Core i" followed by a number, it has EPT. If the processor's branding has anything else in the name, it almost assuredly does not have EPT. This only takes into account mainstream desktop processors; server processors such as Xeon also offer EPT, but the rules for determining which processors have it and which don't are less clear.... you're better off reading the detailed tech spec sheets in that case.
I am not making a product recommendation here; I am merely cautioning you that your current hardware is extremely suboptimal for full operating system virtualization, compared to other products that are readily available on the market. EPT isn't anything new; I've owned multiple PCs with it since 2009. It really is the key to opening up like-native performance in virtualized guests, especially on the desktop.

Q: Call COleDispatchDriver::CreateDispatch with specific dll version I have some projects in MFC6 and one project which is written in DotNet 4. The communication between the MFC projects and the .Net project is via COM and the COM Server is on .Net side. The COM server is registered via RagAsm.exe. In MFC I create an Instance of this COM Server like this:
CreateDispatch( _T("PROGID.namespace") )

The problem is, that the COM Server is used by different projects. So if I want to increase the version number of my com server dll due to code changes, I had to register it again with RegAsm. Now there are two versions of this dll in my registry. But when I call the CreateDispatch method, the program everytime tries to load the newest one. That means, that the projects, which include the older versions, won't be able to find the correct dll. It seems it is not possible to specify a version when calling CreateDispatch().
Is there another posibility to solve this problem?

A: ProgID would resolve into CLSID and then eventually to COM server binary. If you would like to have two different COM servers present in the system, why don't you use "version-dependent" (as opposed to version independent you used in your code fragment above) ProgID's with different versions.

*ProgID vs VersionIndependentProgID

*COM registration of PROGIDs


There are a couple of ways you can test the volumetric efficiency of your problem child. You'll need a scan tool capable of reading and recording Global OBDII, and an area near your shop where you can perform a few wide open throttle (WOT) runs from a rolling start safely (and legally). The first, and easiest, method uses a standard Parameter Identifier (PID) called LOAD or CALC LOAD. Look for it in the datastream and select it as one of the PIDs you want to display and record. In addition, add these PIDs to the list: RPM (engine speed), STFT (Short Term Fuel Trim-both banks if applicable), and LTFT (Long Term Fuel Trim-both banks if applicable).
Here's a tip for you. Most scan tools allow you to choose what PIDs you want to display. By selecting only those you need or want to observe, you speed up the refresh rate of the data.
Now you're ready for your test run. Connect your scan tool and start recording. From a rolling start, drop the hammer and accelerate at WOT until you feel the shift. You can do this in first or second gear, whatever your area will allow safely. Of course, allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature before you floor it!
Now check your recording. I like to graph the data. It makes that peak RPM easier to see. Locate that peak just before the shift and then look at the corresponding value for LOAD. If it is lower than it should be, check fuel trims. If fuel trims are in normal ranges, you've probably got a restriction. If, however, fuel trims are correcting for a lean condition (adding fuel, positive numbers), take a hard look at the Mass Airflow sensor (MAF). It is likely under-reporting airflow to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Be sure to make a few passes to insure the readings you're getting are correct.
The LOAD PID is a calculated value, not a measured one. That's why a bad MAF can skew the whole deal and why it is a valid test of the MAF sensor itself. If you want to be more high tech, there are several VE calculators online that allow you to input the values yourself. If you use one, you'll need to add a few more PIDs to your list: Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and airflow (in grams per second). You'll also have to enter the engine displacement precisely for the calculator to return an accurate number.

Dr. Wilhelm Cuno (Suhl, 2. srpnja 1876. – Hamburg, 3. siječnja 1933.), njemački političar koji je bio i njemački kancelar od 1922. do 1923.

Cunova vlada posebno se isticala po otporu koju je pružala Francuzima koji su htjeli okupirati njemačku pokrajinu Ruhr (1922. – 1923.). Cunova vlada bila je isto odgovorna za loše ophođenje prema velikim novčanim problemima. Naime umjesto da pokušaju otplatiti ratne dugove, Cunova vlada počela je tiskati ogromne svote novca, što je dovelo do hiperinflacije koje je kulminirala 1923.

Wilhem Cuno je pohađao pravnu školu u Berlinu i Heidelbergu. Zaposlio se u carskoj državnoj blagajni 1907. Tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata Cuno se uključio u postrojbu za zalihe hrane njemačkim vojnicima, no 1917. je odustao od civilne službe kako bi se pridružio brodskoj tvrtci Hapag. U prosincu 1918. Cuno je bio promaknut u Hapagovog vrhovnog direktora. Kao ekonomski stručnjak Cuno je sudjelovao u poslijeratim pregovorima u vezi ratne naknade i mirovnih ugovora. Zbog njegovog važnog položaja u njemačkoj politici njegova tvrtka Hapag postala je jedna od najjačih njemačkih brodskih tvrtki, koja je prenosila namirnice i potrepštine između SAD-a i Njemačke.

Informalno reprezentirajući interese Reichove vlade van države, Cuno je odbio nekoliko ponuda da preuzme poziciju ministra vanjskih poslova, no prihvatio je formirati kabinet nakon ostavke Josepha Wirtha. Cuno je bio izabran za njemačkog kancelara 22. studenog 1922. predsjedničkim dekretom i stvorio većinom nestranačku vladu ekonomista i članova Njemačke narodne stranke, Njemačke demokratske stranke, Njemačke stranke centra i Bavarske nacionalne stranke.

Nakon pada njegove vlade, povukao se iz politike i nastavio s rukovođenjem Hapaga.

Bio je član K.D.St.V Arminia Heidelber, katoličkog društva koje je član Cartellverbanda.

The Rangers WILL have to protect Rick Nash in the expansion draft
Nov 6, 2016; New York, NY, USA; New York Rangers left wing Rick Nash (61) skates during the third period against the Winnipeg Jets at Madison Square Garden. Mandatory Credit: Danny Wild-USA TODAY Sports (Danny Wild)
11/23 4:57PM: According to the list that the NHL has sent to the teams, Rick Nash will need to be protected by the Rangers in the expansion draft. (Sportsnet)
Chris Johnston explains that Nash's contract stipulates that the no-move aspect of Nash's contract, which was downgraded to a no-trade in 2015, is still in place when it comes to being "waived or loaned" which is how the league is interpreting things in relation to the expansion draft. (Sportsnet)
The Rangers will also have to protect Henrik Lundqvist, Marc Staal and Dan Girardi due to their no-move clauses. (Sportsnet)
Teams will have the option of protecting 8 skaters and 1 goalie or 7 forwards, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie.
Even with the Rangers being forced to protect Nash, the team can still protect Ryan McDonagh, Derek Stepan, Chris Kreider, Mats Zuccarello, JT Miller, MIka Zibanejad and Kevin Hayes. (Cap Friendly)
The Rangers will lose one player in the expansion draft.

Chicago Wolves 2021-22 Roster Preview: Forwards
In preparation for the 2021-22 Chicago Wolves season, here are some names to watch for among the forward group.
Sep 8, 2021 2:18 PM EDT

As summer transitions to autumn, the energy that fall sports bring about is very much in the air. In Chicago and other cities across the United States and Canada, hockey is quickly approaching. As a matter of fact, the Chicago Wolves open their season at home on October 16. That means there are fewer than 40 days until Wolves hockey, so it's time to begin discussing the makeup of the team's roster.
During the abbreviated Spring 2021 season, the Wolves won the Central Division with an interesting and deep roster. The Wolves accepted the Nashville Predators' prospects (Milwaukee Admirals) after announcing the Admirals wouldn't play due to logistical issues. What was already going to be a deep Wolves team became deeper with the addition of Milwaukee's players.
Among that group were six of the Wolves' top 10 scorers. Forwards Philip Tomasino, Tommy Novak, Tanner Jeannot, Anthony Richard, Sean Malone, and defenseman Frederic Allard will all return to the Admirals for the 2021-22 season. Now, a perhaps younger, but still high potential group of Carolina Hurricanes prospects remain.
One player that Wolves fans could have been excited about is forward Morgan Geekie. Geekie only played two games with the Wolves last season but tallied four goals and an assist in that time period. He would have been a leading candidate to see a lot of action in 2021-22. However, the Seattle Kraken selected Geekie in the NHL Expansion Draft.
In this edition of our Chicago Wolves roster previews, we will analyze the forward group. The Wolves still have plenty of talent, but the names in the group will look much different than this past season. Let's take a look at some players to watch come October 16.
As mentioned before, five of the team's top-scoring forwards from the past season are returning to Milwaukee. However, there are quite a few names to watch. We'll examine each of those names and categorize them into a few different groups as we analyze the Wolves' 2021-22 roster.
The Returning "Vets"
Yes, we said vets. However, that doesn't necessarily mean veterans with five years in the AHL. Rather, these are guys that are of AHL age and important pieces to the Wolves this coming season. Included in this group are players such as David Cotton, Dominik Bokk, Stelio Mattheos, and Spencer Smallman.
David Cotton had a strong rookie campaign with the Wolves during the shortened pandemic season. Cotton was tied for the Hurricanes organization lead with 21 points. He tied Maxime Lajoie, whom the Hurricanes re-signed this offseason. This season, Cotton will look to expand on his impressive rookie campaign with the Wolves.

Dominik Bokk was one of four first-round picks to suit up for the Wolves in 2021. He and Seth Jarvis, Ryan Suzuki, and Tomasino were all first-round picks in the last four years. Bokk, 21, is the eldest of the group after being selected 25th overall in 2018.
Bokk had a streaky first season in Chicago. The German native still registered 18 points in 29 games, but he tended to work in streaks when it came to aiding the offense. Throughout the season, head coach Ryan Warsofsky and Bokk had discussions about being more consistent and shooting more, which is one of Bokk's best assets.
Both players should be near the top of the scoring leaderboards this season for the Wolves. As for Mattheos and Smallman, they both received short stints with the Wolves in 2021. Both players tallied two assists in six games during the COVID-19 shortened season.
The CHL Players
Yes, CHL-aged players will be playing with the Wolves this season, if the Hurricanes want them to return to the AHL. According to reports in late July, the NHL and CHL are working on a slight amendment to the NHL-CHL agreement. The agreement effectively states that players who played in the AHL last season for 20 or more games can play in the AHL in 2021-22 rather than returning to juniors. This is important for a few players who suited up for the Wolves in 2021, including Jamieson Rees, Ryan Suzuki, and Seth Jarvis.

Rees had a nice first season with the Wolves. He didn't make a ton of noise early, but he came on strong later in the season for the Wolves. For the season, Rees tallied 14 points (eight goals, six assists) in 29 games with the Wolves. He showed noticeable power, speed, and fearlessness when going to the net. Rees profiles as a talented power forward who may become quite an NHL player someday.
For Suzuki, his first AHL season was a bit underwhelming. In 26 games, Suzuki only managed to tally 10 points (five goals, five assists). That said, Suzuki saw time on the penalty kill and fourth line quite a bit during his first professional season. Suzuki still has plenty of talent and will receive plenty of opportunities with the team in 2021-22.
Now, Jarvis sadly won't be a name Wolves fans see for a majority of the season. There is a chance he joins the team for a potential playoff run, but Jarvis will be required to return to the WHL since he did not meet the 20-game minimum. Jarvis tallied 11 points in only nine games but was required to return to the WHL when they launched their season. With the amendment, Jarvis will once again return to the WHL this fall.
The Wolves-Signed Players
Most seasons, the Wolves will have five to six players that are signed to AHL deals rather than NHL contracts. This season, the Wolves are returning local product David Gust in addition to signing Stephen Harper and Kyle Marino to standard player contracts.
Gust debuted with the Wolves in 2021, tallying four points (two goals, two assists) in 16 games last season. The Orland Park, IL native will suit up for his second season with his hometown AHL team. Gust has also spent three seasons in the AHL with Bakersfield and Charlotte. Before turning pro, Gust played his collegiate hockey at Ohio State University.

Harper joins the Wolves after playing his rookie season with the Fort Wayne Comets in the ECHL. Harper was named June M. Kelly Playoffs Most Valuable Player after winning the Kelly Cup with the Comets. Prior to his time with Fort Wayne, Harper spent four seasons at Acadia University, amassing an impressive 130 points in 109 games.
In addition to Harper, new face Kyle Marino joins the Wolves for the 2021-22 campaign. Marino spent last season with the ECHL's Wheeling Nailers and played four years of collegiate hockey at the University of Alaska Fairbanks before turning pro. Last season, Marino registered two goals and four assists, as well as 76 penalty minutes in 27 games. Marino has always profiled as a grinder and tough guy of sorts. In college, Marino recorded 198 penalty minutes over four seasons while adding nine goals and 18 assists in 101 games.
The 2021-22 Wolves
The Wolves will also have other players added to the roster via Carolina and potentially via standard player contracts. Until then, these names are the base forward group that Wolves fans can expect to see at Allstate Arena beginning October 16. The Wolves will look to repeat as division champions en route to a deep playoff run in search of a Calder Cup victory.

"We're Doing What Here ?" - The CHALLENGE
The Challenge is the name that we have assigned to the shared activity that is our approach to the COVID-19 pandemic. This "approach" includes an intention and firm commitment to helping others involved with this illness from where we are located around our world. And who isn't involved ? Those trying to avoid becoming infected. Those who unfortunately have the illness. Those caring for those sick with this disease. Those working to develop vaccines and other effective therapies. Those who have lost loved ones, friends, acquaintances to this illness. All are included in our thoughts as we embark each day for 20 minutes during The CHALLENGE.
To improve focus while conserving personal energies, we select those who are currently Actively ILL with COVID-19 as a target. The goal is to move them from that category, to those who have now Recovered. That summarizes a transition that few would argue is a good one.
To see how that is being done here, it's time to read The CHALLENGE.
Why Do This ?
That would seem like the next logical place to go. So here's our answer for Why Do This ? When you're done reading, if you didn't see YOUR reason for being here, please write us to let us know.

If one is going to do something for 20 minutes, but starting at a specific time, a need for clocks and timers appears. You can certainly use your own, but some are provided here for convenience. Also for your convenience, two different start times per day are possible. The usual one at 12:00PM Noon GMT, and a second Challenge, 12 hours later at Midnight GMT. The Timers page also helps to figure out what time that is on your clock where you are. For those who elect the 2nd shift, which we have named the Midnight Squadron, you'll find timers and explanations at the link provided.
An efficient approach to each participation is to use this link to get swiftly set up. It provides a vocal guide to the 20 minutes during the Challenge, signaling 5 minute intervals.

Some people may easily empathize with our message and methods here.
We would of course like to discover that growth trend continuing in the days and weeks to come.
But it's really not about a somewhat futile counting of numbers or "hits" and worrying about that.
Neither is it about coercion, manipulation, conspiracies or propaganda.
Instead, it's that we believe that what we are doing here is important. We also believe that it will succeed. So we try to identify motivators for doing The Challenge that will help stimulate others to participate. So far those seem to fall into the following categories, which will evolve as needed:
From the "Front Lines"
As with letters written by soldiers from the trenches during a war, the information shared by those caring for the sick is not always pleasant news. But in each case there is something so direct transmitted, that ignoring it to maintain one's personal comfort seems a poor choice. Perhaps these are difficult but essential motivators. And if one reacts by saying that from where one is located, if not on the "front lines," one can do nothing - we quickly remind about The Challenge.
If the goal is to see more Recovered appearing from the ranks of the Actively ILL, and if we are dedicated to our proposition that The Challenge can help with that, then how are we doing ?
There are results to answer that question, and we post them as frequently as possible at the link provided, and called of course: Feedback.
News stories as presented by today's media sources can provide leads that are somehow related to our intention here. We'll look for those.
Finding that relation is not always immediate. One must wade through what's behind the "look of the News" and the "if it bleeds it leads" tendencies. But you already are aware of that. Sensationalism and shock value are not motivators here. Occasionally we may find other values that are motivators to right thought and especially, right action through The Challenge.
We call that News of the right kind, or Intentional NEWS.
We will not be duplicating every article written, translating each into several other languages.
The language for most articles is English.
But for several others, a separate page will be provided that gives a Short Introduction to the Challenge and its related methods, offered as an audio recording as well as a text file, and another with the Challenge concisely explained.
Finally, specific Targets will be explained and presented as text and as audio recordings. The goal is to sharpen and focus the listener's intention to be present in assisting those Actively iLL with COVID-19 and reduce their numbers.

Where Things Are Located, Membership, Language Issues - "get acquainted," and "how stuff gets done on this site" type of info. Because the base language for our blog provider is French, it requires a few adjustments and a little translation, to make an English-based visit as easy as possible. There shouldn't be too much suffering imposed, I don't think. Least, I hope not. Something isn't clear? Fire off an email to : questions@callingcovid.com

Anwar Ibrahim's daughter arrested
16 March 2015 • International, News	• No Comments
Malaysian police have arrested the eldest daughter of jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim for alleged sedition, a move slammed by critics as a clampdown on dissent.
Opposition party official Fahmi Fadzil says Nurul Izzah Anwar was arrested Monday and will be held overnight in a police lockup because of a speech she made last week in Parliament.
Nurul Izzah is a lawmaker and a vice president in Anwar's People's Justice Party. Fahmi said the arrest was "ridiculous and outrageous" as lawmakers have immunity over comments made in Parliament. He said the move was intended to silence the opposition after Anwar was jailed last month when he lost a final appeal against a sodomy conviction. SAPA
