История
Дата основания не установлена. В 1926 году на базе поселений Дальча и Антоново была образована артель «Восток». В 1930 году из мелкие рыболовецкие артели были объединены в колхоз «Путь к коммунизму» Долбанского улуса Калмыцкой автономной области. Колхоз относился к Дальчинскому сельскому совету рабочих, крестьянских, красноармейских и ловецких депутатов, в который входили: село Дальчи, населённый пункт Дальча, хутора Мишка, Чимбя, Семёновск, Коскин, Наран-Газыр.

28 декабря 1943 года калмыцкое население было депортировано. После ликвидации Калмыцкой АССР населённый пункт Дальча, как и другие населённые пункты Добанского улуса, был включен в состав Астраханской области. В ноябре 1952 года населённый пункт Дальча был переименован в село Дальнее.

Калмыки стали возвращаться в 1956 году после отмены ограничений по передвижению, однако в состав Калмыцкой АО село возвращено не было.

What lessons can the UK learn from Greenland leaving the EU?
James Mates Europe Editor
In the second in a series of reports looking at alternative models to Britain's trading with Europe, Europe Editor James Mates heads to Greenland.
A couple of years ago I made a (disastrous) appearance on Christmas Celebrity University Challenge. Many of the early questions were Christmas-related, but then came one that fell right into my lap: 'in 1985, which became the first country ever to leave the European Union?'
I knew that. Of course I did. I was supposed to be Europe Editor of ITV News. I pushed vigorously on the buzzer, only to the see that - to my horror - a little white panel saying 'LITTLE' was already alight.
"Greenland" said Alan Little of the BBC and Edinburgh University. "Yes, well done" said Jeremy Paxman. For once he looked genuinely impressed. Talk about missing a chance at glory.
Read more from James Mates: Can Canada provide the answer to Britain's trade future?
1973 to 1985, to be precise. Greenland, not even part of Europe but ruled by Denmark, had joined the EU at the same time as the UK, but voted a decade later to get out.
The problem was fishing. Greenland's trawlermen were already under pressure from foreign boats using their rights under the Common Fisheries Policy, and the giant fleets of Spain and Portugal were about to join in the free-for-all, so 53% of Greenlanders voted that enough was enough. Time to get out.
So what lessons are there for the UK, currently debating whether to double the number of EU refuseniks?
To be honest, not that many. Greenland is a country of 56,000 people with an economy dominated (90%) by a single industry, fishing.
Britain is neither of those things.
Can Canada provide the answer to Britain's trade future post-EU?
But it is interesting nevertheless, that even for them, unpicking EU membership was a long and laborious process. It took three years or so, even when there was just one industry involved, and one product whose access to the European market had to be negotiated.
They succeeded, and relations are good. Greenland is still ruled by the Danish crown, so its people remain EU citizens.
The EU still provides substantial funds in return for access to some of Greenland's fishing grounds and to restructure its fishing fleet.
The harbour in the capital Nuuk is now home to some very modern trawlers that can make their owners spectacular sums when the prawn catch is good and the Greenland halibut, that we call Turbot, are plentiful.
So much so, in fact, that some now complain that the lack of EU membership is hurting their ability to get much needed investment to develop and expand.
The other major downside is that leaving the control of Brussels did not free them from what the 'Leave' campaign call the dead-hand of Brussels regulation. Far from it.
They are no longer at the table when fisheries are discussed, but if they are to sell into the single-market - which they must - then every rule applies to them as much as it does to us.
And not just the fishermen. We met an ice-cream maker in Nuuk who sells his (delicious) product to Denmark and beyond, but must battle constantly to apply each and every production and hygiene rule, however onerous. The idea that breaking free from Brussels wins you any sort of freedom from their rules is, he tells us, ludicrous.
There is no real move in Greenland to return to the EU. Some would find life easier back in the fold, but the majority seem happy with their status as outsiders who can still operate as if they were insiders.
The only real debate in Nuuk at the moment is whether to break free from Denmark itself, but they know in their heart of hearts that the loss of financial support would be economic suicide.
Greenlanders have proved that it is possible to leave. Their experience shows post-divorce relations can be cordial enough, though it has to be noted that they are small enough for Brussels to have been magnanimous.
But theirs is also a lesson in the limits of freedom, post EU. You can break-away, but if you still want to buy and sell and travel, your new found 'independence' can still seem pretty restrictive.

Trees are a great way to add value to your property and improve the overall aesthetic of your home, but as beautiful as your trees are above the ground, there are roots growing below the surface that have the potential to cause major damage. This destruction can begin with minute cracks, but if left unattended, can completely disrupt your ability to use your driveway and cause enormous damage to your home.
If preserving the tree is important to you, it is possible to trim the roots that have caused damage without removing the tree. However, since trees are living organisms, their roots never stop growing. The tree will likely replace the roots over time and any initial repairs you had made would be susceptible to new damage. In addition to infestation and disease that can occur when tree roots are cut, keep in mind these roots are also supporting the height and weight of the tree. This means that if those roots are no longer there the tree can eventually topple over during high winds. Everything around your home could be at risk when that happens.
Ivan's Tree Service has certified arborists and tree specialists that can provide home owners with all available options for resolving damage caused by unruly tree roots. Contact us today to schedule an appointment!

Want more clients across the STP's, Vanguard Sites and wider NHS?
I am reaching out because I am organising our sixth conference on the Future NHS Plans: Delivering Transformation and Sustainability will be bringing together professionals and peers working within the health and social care systems and its associated partners, to continue the debate as to the future of the NHS. The event will feature a highly informative agenda, presenting speakers and sponsors who are experts in their field, plus examples of best practice which delegates may feel appropriate to adopt into their own provision arrangements.
This conference isn't a tradeshow/expo and is targeted towards senior management so that every conversation that is to be had on the day is going to be of high value. These delegates all pay to attend which mean they do come on the day and on average we only see a 5% drop off for unforeseen circumstances.
A snapshot of attendees include: NHS England, Walton Forest CCG, UCLH, Health Education England, North Tees & Hartlepool NHS FT, Sunderland City Council, Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and many more.
Plenary Presentation Sponsor: Your organisation will present a case study session which allows you to share your experiences of delivering successful outcomes for a customer, highlighting best working practices and the results that were achieved. The session is designed to showcase transferable examples of projects that have been undertaken that delegates can apply to their own situations in overcoming the challenges they face.
You will be responsible for the delivery of the session on a specific area of expertise in line with the theme of the event. This session will be on the main plenary and to the whole audience. You will be introduced by the chair and have 20 minutes to present, following this time the chair will facilitate a question and answer session.
Stand Sponsor: A 3x2m stand will be provided in the networking surgery which will be alongside a maximum of 11 other exhibitors. In this room all refreshments and dinner are served. This is the time to engage directly on a 1 on 1 basis with your potential clients. We provide a table, chairs, Wi-Fi and electricity.


Jose Mourinho has been let go by Chelsea for a second time.
The club sit just one point above the relegation zone after losing nine of their 16 games this season.
Here Press Association Sport looks at the candidates to succeed the self-proclaimed Special One.
Will Chelsea return for another man who enjoyed great success? The Italian, who won the 2010 Premier League and FA Cup double and finished second the following season before being sacked, is available after leaving Real Madrid. He was popular at Stamford Bridge and apparently wishes to return to England.
The former Barcelona boss was reportedly coveted by Roman Abramovich while on sabbatical before the former Spain midfielder opted for Bayern Munich. His contract with the Bavarians ends this summer and speculation of a switch to Manchester City is growing in strength. But Chelsea may still try to tempt him.
The former Argentina midfielder has enjoyed a fine period as Atletico Madrid boss, breaching the hegemony of Barca and rivals Real with an attractive style, while beating Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup and Champions League in the process. The Blues have looked to Atletico for players, now for a manager?
The autocratic Italian's reputation in England is far from strong after his poor reign as national team boss. But his club pedigree with AC Milan and Real Madrid is good and he is still in touch with his former England captain John Terry. He is out of work after leaving Russia and could be an interim option.
If Chelsea need a stop-gap option, they could look to someone who has done the job before. No, not Rafael Benitez, who is now Real Madrid boss, but Dutchman Hiddink. His three-month spell from February 2009, after the departure of Luiz Felipe Scolari, saw Chelsea win the FA Cup and finish third in the Premier League.
The Italy boss may not move ahead of Euro 2016, but reportedly has admirers among the Chelsea hierarchy. He had a glowing caeer at Juventus, first as a player, then as a manager, guiding them to three successive Serie A titles.
The Italian led Juventus to the Serie A title and Champions League final in 2015 and could be an outside bet to replace Mourinho, but Chelsea have made bold choices in the past and it could happen again.
The club captain, now 35, has been reading management books for the last few years and recently had Sir Alex Ferguson's "Leading" for company on a flight back from a match. Some have argued Terry has been in charge of Chelsea for years, maybe he could be handed the opportunity to prove it.
Former Tottenham boss would be a left-field appointment but has been mentioned often over recent days. Has has a long and well-travelled career and most recently took charge of Dnipro. Would in no way be a long-term appointment.

Mazda T2000
Mazda K360
Mazda Porter Cab
The biggest workhorse of Mazda at the time was the T2000. Originally it was sold as a Toyo Kogyo (previous name of the Mazda company) branded vehicle, but with the company name change to Mazda for the purpose of selling passenger cars, the T2000 was also being sold under the Mazda brand. While most vehicles at the time had four wheels, the T2000 only had three wheels. The big advantage of that is a more nimble handling and smaller turning radius.
Different sizes for the truck bed were available as well as a lighter model called the T1500 which used a 1.5 liter engine. The T2000 used a 2 liter engine with around 80 horsepower giving the vehicle a maximum speed of around 100 km/h. Maximum load capacity was 2000 kilogram. Production lasted until 1974.
Like the T2000, the K360 was also a three wheeled truck. Much smaller size though. Just under 3 meter long, 1.28 meter wide and 1.4 meter high. It meant the weight was also low with only 485 kilogram unloaded. With space for two people and around 200 kilogram of luggage, this small truck was at that time a useful companion for many Japanese and is basically a forerunner of the Kei truck.
The K360 was launched in 1959 under the Toyo Kogyo brand and was competing with the Daihatsu Midget. From 1962 it continued as a Mazda. One of the unique features of the K360 was its two tone body color. The top of the cabin was white while for the rest of the body different colors like blue, green and pink were available.
A two cylinder four stroke 360cc engine that produced 11 horsepower was mounted between the cabin and the bed. Via a 3-speed manual transmission the rear wheels were driven. With a top speed of only 65 kilometers per hour it was not very fast, but it was very agile with a turning radius of only 3.5 meter.
Based on the K360, a variant with a stronger engine and more load capacity was also available. It was called the T600 and used a 600cc engine with 20 horsepower. Load capacity was around 200 kilograms more. By 1970 both the K360 and T600 got replaced by the Porter Cab.
From 1970 until the end of 1988 Mazda produced the Porter Cab. Where the regular Porter was a van or pickup type vehicle based on a passenger car, the Porter Cab was a small pickup truck with its cab placed more to the front to allow for a larger pickup bed. Overall dimensions were very similar to the K360 predecessor.
The Porter Cab has a very recognizable exterior with two round headlights and two round indicators above it that look like small ears. On the back side, the rear lights are round as well. In models until 1973, the rear light was all red while the newer models got an orange lens for the indicator. For the exterior color there was just one choice in the beginning. First white, then it became yellow, then green and from 1976 it became white again.
In 1977 there was a minor model change during which the engine was changed from two cylinder 360cc 2 stroke (23 horsepower) unit to one with a two cylinder 550 cc 4 stroke (30 horsepower) made by Mitsubishi. Until the end of production in late 80's, there were minor modifications done to keep the car interested to the public. But after almost 20 years, it was getting outdated replaced by the Mazda Scrum.

Back in 2010, then Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum instituted investigations into three Florida law firms that were handling lots and lots of foreclosure lawsuits on behalf of their lender clients. The Attorney General officially began looking into "improper documentation" filed by these law firms in Florida court records that "…may have been created and filed with Florida courts to speed up foreclosure processes, potentially without the knowledge or consent of the homeowners involved." Specifically, the Attorney General's office was investigating possible bad acts of three law firms, whose names most people now recognize as being connected with the Foreclosure Fraud Crisis here in Florida: The Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, P.A.; Shapiro & Fishman, LLP; and the Law Offices of David J. Stern, P.A.
For the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson, that Attorney General investigation ended up with a settlement between the law firm and the Attorney General, where the foreclosure-filing law firm paid $2 million in settlement investigation into the firm's operational processes earlier this year. One million dollars went from the accounts of the Law Offices of Marshall C. Watson to the State of Florida, and the other $1,000,000 went to the Florida Bar Foundation to help the group fund its mortgage foreclosure grant program.
The Florida Bar Association is an independent organization. The Florida Bar is the organization established by the Supreme Court of Florida to oversee those attorneys practicing law in the State of Florida, and it is a mandatory membership: lawyers must be admitted and in good standing with the Florida Bar in order to practice law in this state.
Accordingly, and in adherence to its responsibilities to the Supreme Court of Florida as its 'investigative and prosecutorial authority in the lawyer regulatory process," the Florida Bar undertook its own investigation into the activities of the Law Office of Marshall C. Watson and this week it was announced that Marshall C. Watson has entered into an agreement with the Bar to a suspension from the practice of law for 91 days, with the resulting need to obtain approval from the Florida Supreme Court before he can be readmitted to the Florida Bar Association and thereby resume practicing law here in the Sunshine State. He's made the history books as being the first lawyer to be disciplined publicly for foreclosure-mill type activities.
While the consent judgment that the Florida Bar Association and Marshall C. Watson have signed must still be reviewed and approved by the Florida Supreme Court, it is unlikely that the High Court will bounce the agreement back to the negotiation table. Most agree that with this deal, Watson will close his law office (though it is reported to continue doing business under another name without Watson working there as an attorney) and the suspension will take place.
Marshall C. Watson is only one of many Florida lawyers that represented mortgage servicers and lenders who were filing lots and lots of foreclosure lawsuits in Florida courts all around the state. Others who became infamous over the years as Florida attorneys representing banks in the Foreclosure Fraud mess include David Stern.
Mr. Watson's dealings with the Florida Bar won't be the last we hear of those lawyers who made lots and lots of money representing plaintiffs in Florida foreclosure lawsuits filed against Florida home owners and Florida borrowers who were behind on their mortgages over the past few years.
His bad acts, as outlined in the documentation, include a Watson firm attorney being paid $1 for each affidavit reviewed and attested to the reasonableness of fees charged. This firm attorney is said to have made $150,000 on this deal, even though investigations reveal that some of these reviewed affidavits weren't signed in the presence of a notary and often the lawyer only had the final affidavit page to sign – not the entire document to review.
This is a clear-cut example of "robo-signing" — for details, check out our free e-book on ForeclosureFraud and how it happened.
What does this mean for those of us who are in the midst of a foreclosure in which the bank is represented by Marshall Watson? Will everything be put on hold until Watson's brother takes over the practice with its new name?
My bank filed for foreclosure in March 2010. The judge tried to push through the foreclosure by the end of 2012, but since I had just retained new counsel, it was continued. I have a lawsuit against the bank in which I am the plaintiff, filed before the foreclosure one, and I would like for this to go to trial before the foreclosure does. Since I am pushing for a trial date on my lawsuit by this Summer, and the judge is itching to get this off the books, hopefully the foreclosure one will go last! Hurray!
Check out their Coprorate Filings, updates and ammendments.
It is Not Choice Legal-in less than 30 days now listed as ParaCorp, Inc. Atty listed on the filings is LOOM W, P.A ! I cannot find an Atty named Loom at the Florida Bar site either ????????
Watson is/was the attorney on my foreclosure also. In June of 2012 we went to court because they filed a Summary Judgement. Needless to say I Pro Se answered the summons with many accusations of fraud. The day of court my case was taken off the docket by Watson. I have not heard a word from them since.
In the time since then I have been contacted that MERS is not my servicer anymore and now SPS is. I get weekly letters from SPS threatening that if I don't pay or contact them they will foreclose on me.
My question is; what if SPS initiates a foreclosure on me while I still have this other foreclosure open with MERS and Watson?
Is that legal? Not that the banks do anything legal.

Return to Consciousness
Return to Consciousness on Wednesday, September 25
A live streamed, online video Seminar on Science & Subjectivity
The Society for Consciousness Studies
With Dr. Bernie Baars
Bernie Baars is a former Senior Fellow in Theoretical Neurobiology
at The Neurosciences Institute in La Jolla, CA. Author of hundreds of scientific papers, articles, essays, and many acclaimed books, Bernie is best known as the originator of global workspace theory and global workspace dynamics, a theory of human cognitive architecture, the cortex and consciousness. BernardBaars.com
What is the best scientific evidence that can tell us about subjectivity and the brain?
There are numerous approaches to consciousness in the long history of philosophy, biology, the humanities, and the arts. This particular approach emerged through half a century of experimental studies on conscious and unconscious brain events. The emerging science tends to avoid traditional polarities between subjectivity and the brain - the "mindbrain dichotomy" - that is not supported by emerging scientific evidence. If there is a chasm between subjectivity and the brain, it has not been discovered so far.
Global Workspace (GW) theory provides a widely used framework for our rapidly accumulating body of evidence. It is consistent with our current knowledge, and can be enriched to include other aspects of human experience. GWT has developed inductively, beginning with the best evidence available and emerging as a cognitive architecture.
GWT provides a set of explicit assumptions that can be tested, as many of them have been in the last twenty years. Global Workspace Dynamics (GWD) is the most current version of GWT - attempting to take into account the complexities of the living brain.
Throughout human history, people have perceived the conscious brain as the great nexus of human life,
of social relationships, of their personal identities and histories, in encounters with new challenges. Consciousness under its many labels and manifestations is widely seen to be one of the core questions of life.
A great many therapeutic approaches can be viewed in a global workspace framework,
including traditional psychodynamics and depth psychology, but also cognitive behavioral techniques, and, indeed, many other kinds of carefully studied human functions.
Making progress in understanding consciousness therefore has an endless number of ramifications - philosophical, metaphysical, scientific, medical, clinical, and practical.
In this seminar we will explore these implications
based on the continued rise of brain evidence and psychological understanding.

The Resource for Our Seminar.
From the recipient of the 2019 Hermann von Helmholtz Life Contribution Award by the International Neural Network Society, which recognizes work in perception proven to be paradigm changing and long-lasting.
Bernie Baars' Updated Works on Global Workspace Theory form a coherent effort to organize a large and growing body of scientific evidence about conscious brains.
Global Workspace Theory (GWT) is a consistent set of ideas about consciousness based on a great deal of psychological evidence, going back over the last two centuries or more. We can now study the living human brain without invasive surgery. Several tides of evidence are joining in ways that make sense. Because the body of evidence is now so large, GWT began with one simplifying question: "How does a serial, integrated and very limited stream of consciousness emerge from a nervous system that is mostly unconscious, distributed, parallel and of enormous capacity?"
A return to consciousness.
Empirical progress since the 1980s has been spectacular. It therefore seems timely to republish successive stages of evidence and theory of the brain's global workspace — covering 30 years during which consciousness re-emerged from decades of neglect.
In traditional scientific fashion, our basic evidence remains stable while ideas continue to evolve.

Praise for Bernie Baars' Work
Murray Shanahan, PhD
"The works of Bernard Baars collected here in "On Consciousness: Science & Subjectivity" are among the foundational texts of the scientific study of consciousness.
Their influence in cognitive science and philosophy of mind is enormous, and their impact on my own thinking has been profound."
~Professor of Cognitive Robotics, Department of Computing, Imperial College London; Senior Research Scientist, DeepMind
Antti Revonsuo, PhD
"Bernie Baars started, almost single-handedly, the "consciousness revolution" in cognitive psychology over 30 years ago. In this book we can trace, through the re-publication of all the major original sources, the entire path from the first versions of his Global Workspace Theory, published over 30 years ago, to its current state and towards its future prospects as a unified theory of consciousness and the brain.
Bernie Baars is a giant on whose shoulders the future science of consciousness will stand."
~ Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, University of Skövde, Sweden & Professor of Psychology, University of Turku, Finland, Assoc Editor of Consciousness and Cognition, An International Journal
Daniel C. Dennett, PhD
"A clear-eyed, open-minded analysis of the problems of consciousness, and a wide-ranging synthesis of a variety of approaches.
For those who want to join the race to model consciousness, this is the starting line."
~ Co-Director, Center for Cognitive Studies, University Professor Austin B Fletcher Professor of Philosophy, Tufts University. Author of "From Back to Bacteria and Back: The Evolution of Mind," on Baars' original edition of "A Cognitive Theory of Consciousness."

1: The Limited Capacity of Consciousness and the Enormous Capacity of Memory.
How do we reconcile this?
2: Emergent "Surf Waves" in Cortex.
Cortex is many things, and one of them is a wave medium. How does this help to explain the limited momentary capacity of consciousness? Or does it falsify limited capacity?
3: Cortex is the Organ of Mind. An invitation to understand the mindbrain.
"I was probing a woman's brain with an electrode when she said she heard a melody. I was so astonished I restimulated the same spot some 30 times. Each time she heard the same melody…" ~Wilder Penfield, in conversation with Denis Brian; reported in Genius Talk, 1995
Paradoxes in science are often the most productive questions to ask. Direct observation of the brain, starting with Wilder Penfield and Herbert Jasper since 1934, shows very nicely that consciousness emerges in the cortex - the largest, most interconnected organ. How do we deal with all the questions we have in terms of the biological basis of consciousness?
4: Holistic vs. Atomistic Approaches to the Brain.
"Men ought to know that from the brain, and from the brain only, arise our pleasures, joys, laughter and jests, as well as our sorrows, pains, griefs and tears. Through it, in particular, we think, see, hear, and distinguish the ugly from the beautiful, the bad from the good, the pleasant from the unpleasant…. It is the same thing which makes us mad or delirious, inspires us with dread and fear, whether by night or by day, brings sleeplessness, inopportune mistakes, aimless anxieties, absent-mindedness, and acts that are contrary to habit." ~Hippocrates of Cos, The Sacred Disease; Circa 400 B.C., Pp. 174-175.
In the history of brain science that question, for twenty five centuries since Hippocrates, deals with holistic vs. atomistic approaches to the brain.

5: Global Workspace Theory (GWT) as a Way to Reconcile Limited Capacity & Enormous Capacity.
Global Workspace Theory (GWT) began with this question: "How does a serial, integrated and very limited stream of consciousness emerge from a nervous system that is mostly unconscious, distributed, parallel and of enormous capacity?" Global Workspace (GW) theory provides the most widely used framework to date for our rapidly accumulating body of evidence. It is consistent with our current knowledge, and can be enriched to include other aspects of human experience.
Biology of Consciousness
Gerald M. Edelman | Joseph A. Gally | Bernard J. Baars
The Dynamic Core and Global Workspace hypotheses were independently put forward to provide mechanistic and biologically plausible accounts of how brains generate conscious mental content. The Dynamic Core proposes that reentrant neural activity in the thalamocortical system gives rise to conscious experience. Global Workspace reconciles the limited capacity of momentary conscious content with the vast repertoire of long-term memory. In this lecture we show the close relationship between the two hypotheses.
6: The Complexities of the Living Brain and the Story of All This.
Bidirectional Signaling, Near Criticality, Non-linearity, and Global Workspace Dynamics.
Global Workspace Dynamics (GWD) is the most current version of GWT - attempting to take into account the complexities of the living brain. These updated works trace the beginnings of GWT/GWD through the continued rise of brain evidence and psychological understanding.

7: Silent Consciousness: The key to 'higher states.'
A coherent view of silent consciousness may be emerging today. "Silent consciousness" may correspond to electromagnetic power in the 10 Hz range of cortical activity.

The jet, a Sukhoi Superjet-100, was on a demonstration flight.
Russian airliner disappears over Indonesia
[Updated at 7:34 a.m. ET] Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan told Metro TV the Sukhoi jet went missing at about 2 p.m. local time in the area of Bogor, West Java.
The jet was on a demonstration flight that should've lasted 30 minutes, taking off and expected to land again in Jakarta's Halim airport. About 46 people were onboard he said.
National Search and Rescue Agency official Gagah Prakosa said on Metro TV that there was an initial search by air that's been suspended because of darkness. A ground search continues.
[Updated at 7:24 a.m. ET] Russia's newest civilian airliner disappeared Wednesday from radar screens during a demonstration flight in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, state-run Ria Novosti news service reported. There were 44 passengers on board.
The pilots requested permission to descend from 10,000 feet to 6,000 feet, air traffic controllers said. After that, all radio contact was lost.
The plane began making its descent but vanished from radar screens at 6,200 feet in a mountainous area.
By the time the plane was due to return it should have burned up its fuel, RIA Novosti said.
The Sukhoi Superjet-100 airplane arrived in Jakarta as part of a demonstration tour of six Asian countries. It had been to Myanmar, Pakistan and Kazakhstan, and was due to visit Laos and Vietnam after Indonesia, RIA Novosti said.
Sukhoi manufactures military aircraft and is known especially for its fighter jets. Its civilian aircraft is narrow-bodied with a dual-class cabin that can transport 100 passengers over regional routes.

At least it wasn't shot down over Russian airspace with only one person aboard. (RIP Congressman Larry McDonald)
I also remember that KAL flight shot-down over Russian airspace. Had that flight safely landed, and congressman Larry McDonald had survived the ordeal to actually appear in LA District Court to testify against then gov. Ronald Reagan, there never would have been a president named Ronald.

Mr. Triglyceride
@Protoman/Tomcat. I was living in LA when the LA Herald Examiner reported exactly what you say. What happened next? The Herald Examiner also ceased to exist. And only one other news outlet (Hustler Magazine) continued reporting on this tragic murder of a US congressman. Up until that magazines publisher, Larry Flynt, was shot and placed under a federal gag order just like Connie Chung and the FBI's Sibel D. Edmonds.
Freedom my ass.
Lets see how many of you "news" bloggers deny this fact: Congressman Larry McDonald was murdered by Ronald Reagan.
@Mr. Tri. You were living in LA back then? I was living in Texas when I (ahem) just happened to read Larry Flynt's expose'. After researching for many many hours, I finally reached this conclusion: The world's powerful governments, incl. and especially the US and Russia, are all on the same page while keeping us peoples divided. Those hundreds of huge underground facilities built during the "Cold War" by these two mighty governments were built in tandem, in other words. At least they didn't enslave Jews to dig them this time
Anyone who thinks any government has there best interests in mind is a fool.

Projects & Conspirings
Depth Ecology
David Abram
From: The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature, Taylor and Kaplan, ed., published by Continuum, 2005
Deep ecology, as a movement and a way of thinking, has commonly been contrasted to conventional environmentalism, and especially to approaches that focus only on alleviating the most obvious symptoms of ecological disarray without reflecting upon, and seeking to transform, the more deep-seated cultural assumptions and practices that have given rise to those problems. Rather than applying various 'band-aid' solutions to environmental problems, adherents of deep ecology ostensibly ask "deeper" questions, and aim at deeper, more long-range solutions. Yet some stalwart environmental activists have taken offense at the implication that their own strenuous efforts merely amount to a kind of "shallow" ecology. In fact, the implicit contrast between "deep" and "shallow" approaches to ecological problems has led various folks to suspect a kind of arrogance in the very idea of "deep ecology;" and such suspicions have served to somewhat weaken, and marginalize, the deep ecology movement in recent years.
Yet the tremendous potential of the deep ecology movement, and the real eloquence of "deep ecology" as a powerful, if largely inchoate, set of intuitions, never really had anything to do, I believe, with the facile contrast between "deep" and "shallow" approaches. Arne Naess' insight had something more mysterious, even magical, about it. Worthy and visionary activists from many different fields — scientists and farmers, professors and poets, artists and anarchists, all with a intense love for wild nature and a sense of outrage at the ugly insults that civilization was inflicting on the animate earth — were drawn to deep ecology because they could sense a new kind of heartfelt humility in this movement, a gathering of brilliant spirits who were not afraid to acknowledge their own existence as earthly animals. All were happy to affirm that the human was but one of the earth's many creatures — a remarkable creature, to be sure, but ultimately no more astonishing than the grizzly bears, or the cormorants, or the spiders riding the grasses as they bend in the breeze. Far from being arrogant, deep ecology was marked by a new kind of humility — a new assumption that we two-leggeds were entirely a part of the intricate web of life — and by a new wish to reflect and to act without violating our responsibility as plain citizens of the biotic community. The other side of this humility was a steady wonder in the face of a world that exceeds all our designs, the delicious and sometimes terrifying awareness of being human in a much more-than-human world.
The name "deep ecology" resonated well with this new impulse, mostly because of the richness of meaning in this curious word "deep." It is a meaning that very few of us recognized consciously, yet I suspect that our animal bodies sensed it right from the start. For the adjective "deep" speaks of a particular dimension of the experienced world: often termed the third dimension, it is that which photographers refer to when they speak of "depth of field." It is that dimension that stretches from the near to the far, from the place where we stand all the way to the horizon, and beyond. The curious nature of this dimension is such that, unlike "height" and "width," which seem entirely objective aspects of the perceived world, the dimension of depth is wholly dependant upon the position of the viewer within that world! The height of a boulder, for instance, seems to stay constant as I move around that rock. Yet the depth of the rock, the relation between the near and the far aspects of the boulder, steadily changes as I move around it. Unlike the height of a mountain range, and the width or span of a valley, the depth of a landscape depends entirely on where we are standing within that landscape. And as we move, bodily, within that landscape, the depth of the landscape shifts around us.
In truth, a space has depth only if one is situated somewhere within that space. A cluster of boulders, or a grove of trees, may be said to have a particular depth only if you are situated, bodily, in the same world as those rocks or those trees.
If, for example, I am watching some nature program on the television, observing a female lion, perhaps, as she lolls with her cubs under the shade of a leafy tree, and I happen to stand up and walk across the room, my movement does not alter anything on the screen. The depth of the room will shift around me as I move — the bookcase looms up in front of me and then recedes as I move past it, the music stand comes between me and the television screen for a moment as I walk by — yet the spatial positions of those cubs do not shift in relation to one another or in relation to the tree behind them. For the lions and I do not inhabit the same space. There is no depth between us, for I look at their world from a position entirely outside of that world, an utterly detached spectator looking at a flat spectacle. My real, bodily encounter is not at all with those lions, but with the flat screen of the television.
Modern, conventional science has long presumed to observe the natural world from a detached position entirely outside that world. And the science of "ecology" inherited this presumption from the older sciences that preceded it — the assumption that we could objectively analyze the interactions of various organisms and their earthly environment as though we ourselves were not participant in that same environment, as though our rational minds could somehow spring themselves free from our coevolved, carnal embedment in the thick of this ecology in order to observe it from a wholly detached and impartial perspective. In high school biology class, we gazed at a complex diagram of the local ecosystem drawn on the flat blackboard, but of course we did not include our own gaze within the system. Later, some of us learned to model particular ecosystems on the flat screens of our computers. Although I learned a fair amount from such exercises, the primary lesson I learned was that earthly nature is an objective, determinate phenomenon that can best be studied from outside, not an enveloping mystery in which I am wholly participant.
Such is the view of nature that we perpetuate when we neglect, or overlook, the depth dimension of the world — the fact that, in truth, we only ever experience the actual world from our embodied, two-legged perspective down here in the thick of things. Since we are entirely in and of this earthly world, nature can disclose certain aspects of itself to us only by concealing other aspects; we never perceive the whole of any earthly phenomenon all at once. Because we are animals immersed in the world, each thing we directly encounter meets us with its own depth, its visible facets and its invisible facets, its closer aspects open to our gaze and its more distant aspects hidden from view. The belief in a purely objective comprehension of nature, in a clear and complete understanding of how the world works, is the belief in an entirely flat world seen from above, a world without depth, a nature that we are not a part of but that we look at from outside — like a God, or like a person staring at a computer screen.
Deep ecology – or rather, depth ecology — calls this presumption into question; it suggests that such cool, disembodied detachment is itself an illusion, and a primary cause of our destructive relation to the land. It insists on the primacy of our bodily embedment in the encompassing ecology, on our thorough entanglement within the earthly web of life. It suggests that we are utterly immersed in, and dependant upon, the world that we mistakenly try to study, manipulate, and manage from outside.
So the most relevant contrast that was originally provoked by the notion of deep ecology was not a facile contrast between "shallow" and "deep" approaches, but rather a contrast between the flat and the deep — between flat ecology and deep ecology– between a detached way of seeing that looks at nature from outside, and an embedded way of seeing (and feeling) that gazes into the depths of a nature that encompasses and permeates us. Deep ecology, in other words, seemed to imply that we were situated in the depths of the earthly ecology.
It was this tacit implication of our thorough inherence in the biosphere, this intuition of depth, that united all of us who were drawn, from various directions, to the phrase "deep ecology." We all sensed the need for a way of speaking, and thinking, that did not tear us out of our felt immersion in, and consanguinity with, the animate earth. And the need remains as strong as ever, today. By acknowledging that we are a part of something so much vaster and more inscrutable than ourselves — by affirming that our own life is entirely continuous with the life of the rivers and the forests, that our intelligence is entangled with the wild intelligence of wolves and of wetlands, that our breathing bodies are simply our part of the exuberant flesh of the earth — depth ecology opens a new (and perhaps also very old) sense of the sacred. It brings the sacred down to earth, exposing the clear-cuts and the dams and the spreading extinctions as a horrific sacrilege, making us pause in the face of biotechnology and other intensely manipulative initiatives that stem from a flat view of the world. Depth ecology opens a profoundly immanent experience of the Holy precisely as the many-voiced land that carnally enfolds us — a mystery at once palpable, sensuous, and greatly in need of our attentive participation.

Holiday season busy for ID renewals
Dec 27, 2018 | News |
Dan Hoyt
Special to The Gardner News
The Kansas Division of Vehicles announced they will be having extended hours for their offices during the holiday season to help accommodate increased usage as people try to take advantage of their time-off from work to renew or update their driver's licenses.
"This time of the year is always a busy time for people trying to get their licenses renewed. The extended hours are one way we are trying to help those people," said Rachel Whitten, director of public relations for the Kansas Department of Revenue.
The KDOR also recently opened a new office in Overland Park and created the iKan app for your tablet or smartphone that can renew your license or vehicle registration without needing to visit an office. Whitten said there is also a lot of effort being put into trying to get Kansans to renew their license and meet the new federal standards for the Real ID program.
The Real ID is especially important, because Kansans who do not have an ID card that meets the federal standards will not be allowed to use that ID for identification at airports starting in October of 2020. These standards were put in place in August of 2017, so anyone who has a license from before this period will not have an ID that meets these federal standards. To tell if your ID is a Real ID, there will be a gold circle with a star cut out of it in the top-right corner of your ID card. The state Non-Real ID version of the ID will continue to be in circulation, so Kansans need to be aware of this if they plan on traveling.
While Whitten is encouraging people to use the IKan app, she did want to warn people that the app will only renew your license for the version you previously had, so if you currently have a state ID Non-Real ID, then the app will renew that version of your license. If you have a Real ID already, then you can use the app to renew. "We understand that process is kind of confusing, but our hope is that in the next few years, most Kansans will have the Real ID," she said.
If you need to go to the office in Olathe or Mission, then you should consider using the Get In Line system on the Kansas Department of Revenue's website. This allows you to check into a que for one of the offices from home, and you will be alerted when your turn is about to come up. That website is: getinline.kdor.ks.gov/WebAppt. Unfortunately, since the Overland Park office is new, the Get In Line system is not set up yet. Whitten said she believes the lines are shortest in the middle of the week during the middle of the day when most people are at work, so if that is an option for you, then plan on going then.
One issue people frequently encounter while trying to get their IDs is proving residency if they recently moved. Whitten said if you recently moved, then you can use copies of your rental agreement or your mortgage to show that you have established residency as long as they show your address. You don't have to wait for a utility bill or a bank statement, she said.
If Kansans are looking for a quick, cheap way to get an ID card, then they can also ask for a free state ID card at the Division of Vehicles office. You must still provide proof of residency and other forms of identification like a social security card, but residents don't have to wait in line to receive one. They are not driver's licenses, but they can be used for voting, financial transactions, or to prove identity for an employer.

ALTERED IMAGES and Gregory's Girl star Clare Grogan claims she has been asked not to dance by her daughter.
The singer laughed: "I was at my daughters school disco the other week and got asked to leave the dance floor for embarrassing mum dancing. I don't go clubbing much and rarely get the chance to do it. My poor daughter couldn't take it any more, genuinely."
Clare who rose to musical fame with hits like Happy Birthday sings jazz in her new film which is being promoted at Cannes.
The Scots talent, who is attending The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice lunch in Glasgow's Hilton hotel tomorrow, features in Delirium with Timothy West and plays the jazz musician wife of a composer.
She said: "I play a singer in it although I don't sing very much on screen. I'm singing a song written for me. I really love the opportunity to unravel and it wasn't too much of a challenge. I'm quite good at unravelling. It's quite nice to do meaty full on drama. There's a full orchestra with an amazing choir and world renowned cello players."
Clare might have starred in the art house flick with Timothy West but says they never got a chance to act together. She said: "We don't have a scene together. If we had a chance to be in a film together it would have been great. He has such an amazing body of work and it's very hard not to have respect for that."
Clare, who lives in London, can't wait to come back to Scotland tomorrow.
She said: "I'm coming up for a lovely event for the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice trust. Karen Dunbar said I have to go and she'll be there too. It's just a such an amazing service they provide. Who wouldn't want to support it. Anyone who has been through watching a loved one's illness will understand how important it is to have the right support."

7:30 a.m. - Investigators are now on the scene of a deputy-involved shooting in a motel parking lot at the State Road 16-Interstate 95 interchange.
According to Sgt. Chuck Mulligan of the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office, a deputy was checking the tag on a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot of the Quality Inn and Suites before dawn today when he learned the car had been reported as stolen.
After determining there were two people in the car, the deputy ordered one person to get out. That is when an altercation began, Mulligan said, and the deputy fired his gun, injuring the suspect.
That person was taken to Flagler Hospital with what are believed to be non-life threatening injuries, Mulligan said. The other person was taken into custory without incident. No one else was injured.
Identities of the deputy and the suspects have not yet been released.

All schools should develop policies to promote reading for enjoyment throughout the school.
I've trumpeted it in various places - in one of my 'Dear Mr Gove' letters in the Guardian, at the Children's Laureate meeting with the Schools Minister, Nick Gibb and of course here.
It seems to me that we have for the first time ever in history a statement from a quasi-governmental body which backs the idea that schools should do something concrete about reading for pleasure. It supports those thousands of schools which already do things, it gives a rationale or justification for schools to work at this, it would ask of schools which haven't thought much about this to do some work on it.
I really like the fact that it asks the schools to develop the policies rather than it being a hand-down from central government, it hands the initiatives to schools.
I am not 100% convinced that the government is going to turn Ofsted's 'recommendation' into a government 'request' or 'requirement'. As you might imagine, I tried as passionately as I could to put the case for the government to ask this of schools, on the basis that the consequence of doing so would benefit all pupils everywhere but in particular those from homes where there are no books.
Could I make the suggestion that anyone reading this column who is part of any organisation which administers the provision of books, reading and ideas about books think about convening a conference or many conferences or a national conference organised around this matter? As a suggestion, perhaps the brief for the conference would be to create useful working blueprints for schools to use, adapt and develop. The cue or headline for such a conference could be the Ofsted recommendation. Again, I would suggest that those who have already worked up blueprints for this: the NUT, Booktrust, the Reading Agency, the National Literacy Trust and Calderdale (Deborah Bullivant), CLPE, UKLA, the Campaign for the Book, Just Read and anywhere else/anyone else could put this together.
This group of people and others have the expertise, the long experience of working in this field. We are at a pivotal moment in this struggle to get a wide variety of reading matter into the hands of children of all backgrounds. This could be a historic moment but it requires of us to take the initiative.
Any takers? Anyone offering a venue? A date? An organising committee?


Backward induction is an iterative process for solving finite extensive form or sequential games. First, one determines the optimal strategy of the player who makes the last move of the game. Then, the optimal action of the next-to-last moving player is determined taking the last player's action as given. The process continues in this way backwards in time until all players' actions have been determined. Effectively, one determines the Nash equilibrium of each subgame of the original game.

7-months-pregnant Jessica Covington ambushed during 'heinous crime' in Philly

(Newser) – A mom-to-be's weekend celebration ended in tragedy after she was fatally gunned down in Philadelphia. According to the city's police department, the seven-months-pregnant woman—IDed by sources as Jessica Covington, 32, per CBS Philly—was outside her home around 8:30pm Saturday, unloading gifts out of her Kia Soul from the baby shower that had just been thrown in her honor, when gunfire rang out. Police say Covington was hit in the head and stomach, with nearly a dozen gunshots aimed at her abdomen.
Per a police spokeswoman, a cop who was in the area heard the gunshots and rushed to the scene, reports CNN. Covington was taken by police to a nearby medical center, where she was pronounced dead; just a few minutes later, the same announcement was made for her unborn child. "This heinous crime has sent shock waves throughout the country," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a statement, adding that the shooting comes at a time when the city is nearing a "grim milestone": its 500th homicide this year.
ABC News notes that number is the record for homicides in Philadelphia, set in 1990. In 2020, the city registered 499 homicides. The sources who spoke to CBS say this weekend's shooting was "domestic in nature," though no details have yet emerged. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney says there's now a $50,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. "This news is deeply upsetting and heartbreaking," he tweeted Sunday morning. "My heart goes out to the victim's loved ones during this painful time." (Read more pregnant women stories.)

FC Bayern Munich moves into the round of 16 after beating Pilsen
Bayern Munich has the round of 16 in its oasis of well-being in the Champions League firmly in sight and has fueled up for the next important top game in the Bundesliga. As coach Julian Nagelsmann had hoped, his weakened team lost Leon Goretzka through the 4: 2 at construction opponent Viktoria Pilsen the necessary mood brightener before the duel with SC Freiburg on Sunday.
Nagelsmann also received backing from Oliver Kahn, who spoke a powerful word in the heated debate about the coach. "There is absolutely no doubt about his work," emphasized the CEO at DAZN, the discussion about the supposed "trainer talent" was downright "ludicrous".
Sadio Mane (10th), Thomas Müller (14th) and Goretzka (25th/35th) dispelled all doubts about Nagelsmann and his eleven with their goals, at least in the premier class. Adam Vlkanova (62nd) and former Stuttgart player Jan Kliment (75th) conceded their first goal of this Champions League season. A bigger fly in the ointment, however, was that Müller – who had just recovered from his corona infection – had to leave early after a hit (28th).
After the next record with the eleventh win in a row in the group phase, Bayern are still enthroned in Group C at the top of the table. At the end of the preliminary round, the encounters at FC Barcelona (October 26) await world footballers Robert Lewandowski and with Inter Milan (November 1).
Concentrated imagination
As in the first leg (5-0), the Czech champions were only a sparring partner for a long time. Sven Ulrichone of six newcomers to Bayern's starting line-up and the confident substitute for captain Manuel Neuer in goal, who had injured his shoulder, had little to do for an hour.
Up until then, the Munich team had impressed with a concentrated performance and great efficiency in front of goal, but in the last 30 minutes the carelessness increased. Also because Nagelsmann changed cheerfully and Paul Wanner (16) to the youngest Bayern professional in the Champions League made.
The offensive Goretzka stood out as in the classic in Dortmund (2: 2), which was so frustrating for Bayern. Champions League specialist Leroy Sane fired the first dangerous shot early on, but missed the goal (2nd).
Mane scored after a fine one-two with Goretzka to lead. Kingsley Coman prepared the 0:2, which Müller scored unchallenged from five meters. A little later, Müller signaled that he wanted to be substituted, but Goretzka scored the third goal.
Published/Updated:
Marc Heinrich, London
Nagelsmann, who was missing seven professionals around magic foot Jamal Musiala, took the opportunity given his team's dominance to give his second row game practice again. In front of 11,326 spectators, Noussair Mazraoui impressed at right-back with his momentum going forward. A shot by substitute Ryan Gravenberch landed on the bar (77th).

The Pack by Franck Richard, a displaced horror thriller
Photo du film
For his first feature film, Franck Richard turns to genre film with The Pack, a cross between science fiction and horror, fantasy and thriller. This "fantasy western", as the film's co-producer, Franck Ribière, calls it, will be viewed in a Special Screening at 22:15 in Salle Buñuel.
In The Pack, Franck Richard plays the mixed genre card in various tones: "I have liked genre films ever since I was a child, back when this term that is so overused today was not just used for horror films but also for a whole complex of genres ranging from action films to detective films to adventure films."
In an isolated region, Charlotte picks up hitchhiker Max. They stop in a lorry-driver restaurant run by the mysterious Spack. Max goes to the toilet and doesn't come back. Worried, Charlotte tries to find him but Spack abducts her to feed her to a pack of ghouls. In the lead roles are Emilie Dequenne and Benjamin Biolay, here this evening along with the director for the first screening of The Pack, as well as Yolande Moreau in the role of Spack.

Volunteers, mayor celebrate renovated Provo home
Evan Johnson
Despite the cold, a group of about 75 residents, volunteers and community leaders gathered Thursday evening to celebrate the restoration of the 139-year-old historic George Taylor Jr. House.
"If we didn't have good things like this happening it would be a real loss for the community," said Provo Mayor John Curtis. "The government can't do everything — we don't want it to do everything — so for people to step up and make a project like this happen is just really fabulous."
Members of Five Star Painting, Habitat for Humanity of Utah County, and Mayor Curtis join the new historic Taylor House owners at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. (Evan Johnson)
The ribbon-cutting ceremony not only recognized the volunteer work done by Five Star Painting and Habitat for Humanity of Utah County to renovate the home but welcomed the home's new owners as well. The Blair family was selected by Habitat for Humanity to purchase the home — a much-needed upgrade from an 800-square-foot duplex.
Jason Leber, brand manager at Five Star Painting, has been busy helping bring life to the Taylor House project for months. On Thursday he was stocking the pantry with donated food for the new owners. He said community outreach is important because it helps give back to the people who have helped his company grow.
"Our company is really based on color and brightening people's lives, literally and metaphorically. That's what we focus on," Leber said.
The new owners of the Taylor House showed their lives have been touched by all the efforts. A few members of the family fought back tears as they received the keys to the home.
Kena Jo Mathews, executive director at Habitat for Humanity of Utah County, said the Taylor House project helps fulfill two missions. The restoration of the home helps revitalize the neighborhood and selling it to a family in need increases home ownership. Habitat for Humanity of Utah County acquired the home a while back and has now sold the home to the Blair family. Mortgage payments will be interest free and used to help pay for other projects.
"Habitat for Humanity gives a hand up, not a handout," Mathews said.
The historic George Taylor Jr. House is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was recently renovated by Habitat for Humanity of Utah County, Five Star Painting, and other volunteer groups. (Evan Johnson)
Also present at the ceremony were several descendant relatives of George Taylor Jr. Erika Taylor, a descendant-granddaughter of Taylor, spoke about her ancestor's home and said she was happy to help continue "Grandpa Taylor's legacy of being compassionate."
Erika's mother, Karla, was a member of Habitat for Humanity's National Women Build Week when she found out she would be working at her old family's home for this year's project.
"When I received the location of the project I was so excited," said Karla Taylor, who is married to a descendant of the home's original owner. "I thought, 'That address is really familiar.'"
The George Taylor Jr. House was built in the 1880s and is one of only a few remaining homes in Provo that accurately represents the architecture of that time. According to the Taylor family, George Taylor Jr. was the son of Mormon pioneers and was known for often having local Native Americans over to visit.
BYU students may volunteer to help build homes in Utah County by contacting the university's Habitat for Humanity chapter at the Y-Serve office.
