The Capitol building at dusk.

For the third time this year, GOP rejects election-security bill
Over the summer, a pair of senators – one Democrat and one Republican – partnered on a new election-security proposal called the Defending Elections from Threats by Establishing Redlines (DETER Act). The idea behind Sens. Chris Van Hollen's (D-Md.) and Marco Rubio's (R-Fla.) bill was pretty straightforward: if U.S. intelligence agencies were to determine that Russia interfered in another federal election, new sanctions would kick in targeting Russia's finance, defense and energy sectors.
The point, obviously, would be to create a disincentive, letting the Kremlin know in advance that Russia would face significant economic consequences if Moscow once again attacked our democratic institutions.
The bill picked up a bipartisan group of co-sponsors, and it seemed like the sort of proposal that might even have a chance in the Republican-led Senate. At least that was the hope before it was blocked yesterday on the Senate floor. Axios reported:
A Republican senator is blocking bipartisan legislation meant to counter foreign election interference, saying it is more anti-Trump than anti-Russia.
Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) objected Tuesday when Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) sought consent to pass the DETER bill, as reported by The Hill…. The stalled legislation comes as U.S. intelligence agencies predict Russia and other foreign countries will attempt to interfere in the 2020 election.
Van Hollen, the lead sponsor, explained, "This has nothing to do with President Trump, this has to do with protecting our elections." Crapo, the chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, was unmoved.
"The mechanisms in this bill have been designed more to attack the Trump administration and Republicans than to attack the Russians and those who would attack our country and our elections," the Idaho Republican argued.
I'm not altogether sure how Crapo arrived at that conclusion, or why exactly he believes a bipartisan proposal to impose sanctions on Russia would, as a practical matter, effectively represent an "attack" on the Trump administration and Republicans.
What's more, if these circumstances seem familiar, it's because the DETER Act isn't the only election-security measure to be rejected by Senate Republicans.
As regular readers may recall, the Democratic-led House passed the "Securing America's Federal Elections Act" (SAFE Act), which would, among other things, require voting systems to use backup paper ballots, mandate tech safeguards, and provide resources to states to improve their election-security measures.
In October, however, when Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) tried to pass a package of election-related measures – including a Senate companion to the SHIELD Act – Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) blocked the effort.
Soon after, the House also passed the Stopping Harmful Interference in Elections for a Lasting Democracy (SHIELD) Act, which would, among other things, require candidates to notify law enforcement authorities in the event of a foreign power offering campaign assistance.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) – who picked up the "Moscow Mitch" moniker after balking at other bills on election security – said his GOP-led chamber would ignore this bill, too.
Occasionally, Republican lawmakers will make the case that they're genuinely interested in doing something on the issue, especially in the face of warnings from U.S. officials about the likelihood of further Russian intervention, but they simply cannot go along with the Democratic-led proposals, even the ones with GOP co-sponsors.
In fact, even Crapo, while blocking a bipartisan bill yesterday and claiming the bipartisan bill wasn't bipartisan enough, said "maybe" senators can "come together" at some point to pass an election-security bill.
What it would take to make Republicans happy as they reject one bill after another is unclear.

Gugure! Kokkuri-san – For the Love of Cup Noodles
Posted by Samu on December 21, 2014	 January 2, 2015 Final Impressions / First Impressions / Snapshots
Home Final Impressions Gugure! Kokkuri-san – For the Love of Cup Noodles
Log Horizon 2 – 12
Grisaia no Kajitsu – 12
A Bunch of Weirdos till the End!
It's been a damn good year for comedy anime.
Gugure! Kokkuri-san was one of those shows that flew under many radars, but was enjoyed and appreciated by almost all who were watching it – or so it seemed, having me spend the past few months wondering if I had missed out on something big here. With that in mind I decided to marathon it all in time for this finale, and I'm glad I did. By no means was it groundbreaking or anything that new, but it was a damn solid show that knew what it was doing, and wasn't afraid to make some out-there jokes along the way.
Considering how many hilarious anime we've been fortunate to have this year, this one doesn't quite reach the top of the list for me. I probably only laughed out loud about six, maybe seven times during the entire run, which isn't ideal, but then again a lot of the gags just didn't do it for me. But don't let that sway how funny you may find it to be – comedy is subjective as hell. What may seem side-splitting to one may just fly over the head of another.
If there is one aspect that I felt Kokkuri-san excelled, it would be in its production – especially the directing. It's simple, sleek, and effective. The visuals by TMS Entertainment were crisp and colourful, the eye-catches provided great transitions, and the delivery in the jokes (even if I didn't laugh for most of them) was always on point. For that, I give it credit.
My reason for not enjoying the comedy comes down to something very simple: the characters. If I had to sum the cast up in a word, it would be iffy. They were a collection of hits and misses for me, and for the most part the misses got more focus than I would have liked. The two obvious exceptions to that are Kokkuri and Kohina. I wasn't sure about Kokkuri when he was first introduced, but he quickly grew on me. His doting nature, his love for housework, and his relationship with Kohina all made him a great one to watch. Kohina, though, was the star of the show. That little girl was straight up hilarious at times, sympathetic when it mattered, and was the anchor for the series as a whole. Her doll-act, her ridiculous smile, and her love for cup noodles were three recurring gags that never fell flat, and for that I'm grateful. It's nice to see such a young main character carry a show as well as she does.
But for all the good, there is bad. Or this in this case, creepy. Nearly every recurring character was a bit of a freak, unlikeable and occasionally charming at the same time, but simply too overbearing for me. Inugami is perfect example. I just never got him, never enjoyed his disturbingly over-the-top love for Kohina, and was genuinely glad whenever he was absent from an episode. The doll-collecting Tama never did it for me either, less because of her creepiness and more because I simply never found her character that funny. And then Tengu – probably the most unsettling of all. You could call it bold to have a character like him included, but I'd call it offensive, and done in poor taste.
Out of the supporting cast, Shigaraki and Yamamoto-kun were the most entertaining for me. Shigaraki was certainly the most believable in his scummy ways, and had some really endearing qualities to him – the scene at the orphanage really proved his character's worth. Yamamoto-kun was… well… an alien. It was the most random thing ever, and yet the funniest part of the whole series. I only wish we saw more of him, because most of my laughs came from him.
Whilst I found some of the characters and their jokes to be crude and lacking in taste, I was never disappointed when things occasionally went serious. There were moments throughout when the mood shifted – whether it was Jimeko replacing the flowers in Kohina's vase every day, Shigaraki's monthly donations to the orphanage, Kureha waiting under the maple tree for her love to return, or Kokkuri helping the a deceased father move on, all those moments were spot on. I would have been happy to have gotten more of them instead of say… Inugami and his obsessive tendencies, or having Tengu even existing.
As a whole though, Gugure! Kokkuri-san was a comedy worth a watch. I wouldn't consider it the best of the year, but that says just as much about its competition as it does about its own merits. This was incredibly easy to marathon, but I imagine it was also a fun watch from those who tuned in every week to see what mischief these weirdos would get up to next.
Im watching this series since 1st episode, kokuri is not a bad series have a nice background history, if they tell us Kohima history (why she being a Doll and his promise to Kokuri-san) in a gender of slide of Life/Drama they will be a great history like Usagi Drop. Some episodes have touching parts they made me like this series, but sometimes the comedy do not fit with the history. At end i don't if a comedy with serious parts or a serious history ruined for hilarious moments of comedy (im thinking in editor like Mitsuya Maeno from the anime/manga Gekka Shoujo Nozaki-kun ruining a good history). Well thats my opinion. But at end i can said i like it.

Not enough of female Kokkuri-san
I thought the comedy was pretty hilarious for the most part. Especially that episode when Kohina tried to smile xD

Kokkuri-san was standard fare comedy, but it was never lacking in humour every week, always something that caught me. Loved the bits of seriousness thrown in too, such as the periodic changes in Kohina's artwork, Shigaraki's quiet doting on Kohina, and plot lines like the one in the finale involving the father and his daughter.
IMO this show had many more hits than misses and made for a fun watch. Kokkuri-san certainly isn't a perfect anime comedy, but it did everything it set out to do right. For a show centered slapstick humour you cannot ask for more than that.
This was a fun series. Though some of the gags and Kohina's surprisingly deep and grim view of life were a bit disturbing, I got a chuckle out of them. What surprised me was how they managed to sneak in a few gags in even the more serious moments of the show like with that tree spirit and in the christmas part of the finale. They also did a good job of casting Hirohashi Ryou as Kohina. She somehow sounds cute, serious, and pitiful at the same time. The show also needed more female Kokkuri and maybe a few more female Inugami as well. Also can't get enough of Kokkuri, Inugami, and Tama's mascot forms. Shigaraki was also cool for being a likeable jerk. Wished they touched more on Kohina's bully because she sounded like a nice girl. Here's hoping for a second season. Also anybody know who voiced the little girl in the first part of episode 12? She sounds so familiar but I can't read kanji.
Zhinvu
About the voice actor of the girl, i think its Nonoka Ai. Tiramie, from Amaburi, kept popping on my mind when she was ranting while drinking that non-alcoholic beverage
December 22, 2014 at 1:25 am	7 years ago
Checked the credits, yeah it's Nonaka Ai.
Hanabira.Kage
Good guess! And thanks for the finding out guys who it was. Now that you mention it yeah Tiramie comes to mind.
I can't get enough of the addictive flavor of cup noodle additive.
Croos
Kokkuri-san,Kokkuri-san, please return for a Season 2.
Agreed on the other characters, they easily could have lopped off a chunk of them and probably wouldn't have missed much.
The tree episode and this last episode were some of the better ones for me; weaving comedy and a bit of drama from time to time was welcome, and they could actually excel at it. Every other time, just the way they flip your expectations over (i.e. expecting Kokkuri-san to get locked out/arrested in the first episode) is welcome enough.
But sheesh, looking back, there was no need for the massive cast, especially for one-off gags like the creepy pedophile tengu what's-his-face.
Merkius
The first part of the last episode was really good.
legwkio
Noragami!
I thought that the series was mostly only good when the humor/plot involved just Kokkuri and Kohina, since they're the only two characters that actually, you know, matter. Their interactions with each other were the most sincere.
Most of the rest of the cast were just excuses for random slapstick humor or creepy rape/pedophilia/sexual harassment """jokes""" that I want absolutely no part of.
Much agreed. Though Shigaraki had enough positives to make him likeable imo, and then Yamamoto-kun was something else entirely. Most of the others are much as you describe, and I did not enjoy much – or anything – that they had to offer.
@ Samu – if you're looking for another one to marathon fast, I recommend this season's short, Danna ga Nani wo Itteiru ka Wakaranai Ken. Shorts never get enough love, and they're really easy to watch. I've always looked forward to this 3-min short each week.
December 22, 2014 at 3:21 pm	7 years ago
I think I might do just that. I love a good short anime, and I've heard good things about that one. Thanks!
i laughed at most of the jokes, and it looks like they put their budget for voice actors (they are all famous and have been long in voice acting industry) but still got another budget for visual and story telling!
season 2 puhlease!
Kinya
Nano des.
FakeKohina
I laughed lots from each episode and I'd always enjoyed watching Kokkuri and Kohina together. If anyone asks I made the same wish as Kokkuri at the end too.
random viewer
The best arc simply had to be the Kokkuri genderbent arc, where the Ichimatsu family showcases its skills at trolling people.
echykr
Female Kokkuri is best girl. EVER.
Duzz
Nobody really liked the tengu. Unless he was there that episode could have been easily the best one 🙁
It looks like sometimes this series tried too hard to be funny only to finally result irksome.
Best char the lovable jerk Shigaraki.

Emma Donoghue: 'It's all about getting that balance of truth and magic right'
Emma Donoghue is the award-winning author of more than a dozen works of fiction, including Frog Music, Astray and Room.
Punch Photographic
Published April 7, 2017 Updated April 7, 2017
Emma Donoghue is the award-winning author of more than a dozen works of fiction, including Frog Music, Astray and Room, which she adapted into an award-winning film of the same name. Her most recent novel, The Wonder, was a finalist for last year's Scotiabank Giller Prize. Donoghue, who lives with her family in London, Ont., recently published her first book for young readers, The Lotterys Plus One.
Why did you write your new book?
I suspected I'd enjoy creating a lottery-winning, dumpster-diving, multiculti, two-dad, two-mom, seven-kid, five-pet Toronto family, and seeing what fun could be had with them. In The Lotterys Plus One, the first in a series, the unwanted "plus one" is a confused grandfather who – much to his irritation – has to suddenly move from rural Yukon into the Lotterys' chaotic Parkdale mansion. I wrote it not only for my kids but, in a sense, with them: There are borrowings from our home life on every page.
What's a book every 10-year-old should read?
My daughter and I have been lapping up Esta Spalding's Look Out for the Fitzgerald-Trouts. This tale of four sibs living in a car on a tropical island manages to tackle the grittiest of issues – neglectful parents, homelessness – with so much sparkle that readers will be amused, impressed and uplifted rather than scared. For middle-grade fiction, it's all about getting that balance of truth and magic right: Letting in a chilling breath of the sorrows and horrors of the world, but not so much that readers are left devastated.
Would you rather have the ability to be invisible or time travel?
Whenever I read this column, I think those who pick mere invisibility are twits. I write historical fiction because it's the nearest thing, yet invented to a time machine that can take writer and readers on a thrilling, discomfiting ride. History isn't just about sensory novelty – the clash of swords! Layers of faintly urinous petticoats! – but radically different mindsets. I so enjoy that moment when I'm writing a scene in which readers will strongly identify with my point-of-view character right up until the moment she has a premodern opinion about, say, slavery, and they go, Whoa!
What scares you as a writer?
Sameness. If you told me I was contracted to write three novels in a row for adults set in the 2010s, I'd despair. Mixing it up, genre- and era- and setting- and audience-wise, has helped me ward off writer's block for the quarter-century I've been doing this. I sometimes feel panicky about deadlines – can I redraft the screenplay I'm adapting from someone else's memoir, while writing the next kids' book, on a plane to rehearsals of Room the play? – but hey, it beats boredom.
What's more important: The beginning of a book or the end?
The end, because that's when the writer has to call a halt to the drama or laughs, play parent, make the tough decisions. This week, I received two e-mails from different devoted fans complaining about the ending of my last novel: They loved the book so much, they were distressed that it wound up in a way they found inexplicable. They knew I couldn't and wouldn't change it now; they just needed me to make sense of why. Nobody ever writes to me about the beginning, because it's only important in a technical way: the hook that pulls readers in and persuades them to risk their time and personal emotional investment. It's the ending that will leave them singing or satisfied or seething, so there's a terrible pressure on the writer to get that right.

A Durian farmer, Hakka songster and expert in Chu Gar Kao.
Talking to Sifu Lee Tho Sheng is ,constantly, so much fun.
From listening to how he climbs his tall durian tress, and I mean tall, breaking out into one of his many Hakka "mountain songs" and watching him, transforms right before your very eyes, and performing his very aggressive form of Hakka Chu Gar Kuen ….. In the words of Russ Smith; this is all good!
Sifu Lee is a very good-humored person, diplomatic and tactful, he is careful with his statements especially when you are caught in the midst of opposing fractions; unavoidable in all Wulin.
Flourishing in his durian farming, Sifu Lee is the proprietor of farms not far from the famous Batu Ferringhi beach, popular with tourists.
Visiting him there is a treat in many ways; the top-notch durians, jackfruits and getting a taste of his unique style of Hakka Chu Gar Kao.
You know the common saying, size belie strength, exactly the case here.
And to hear him, in his booming voice, recites fist-poems in his native Hakka dialect is something that I totally enjoy.
And at almost 70, this man is a dynamo that just cannot be stopped!
Here's a clip of one of Sifu Lee student doing a form called BaBuZhaung or 8-steps posture.
Again, I must say, expression is a cut different from the usual small-stance front leg enters/rear leg follows arched-back explosion that you expect from Hakka boxing.
Here another view of Sifu Cheong Hon Heon's Geok/Ngok Gar kuen.
Perhaps, this clip will give you a better idea of why I smell "Northern" when I look at this style.
In fact, I was going through some of my other Hakka materials, from Penang and Sarawak, and I am starting to distinguish more and more of "Northern" indications.
A while back when I was chatting with Sifu Liew Joon Mew, Chu Gar Praying Mantis, and I popped the question "Why are so many Hakka styles name Chu Gar"?
His answer was that "Chu" family name was a big name right about the time of the Ching dynasty and many from this family were employed by the government.
So it was convenient, when asked, to just name yourself as "Chu" if you want to secure a government job….hmmmmm…..
That aside, the more I look outside Hong Kong's Hakka styles, the more variations I see as far as Hakka boxing is concerned.
One thing that I really got to do, to get more answers, is to make another trip to see Sifu Kong Shu Ming, the Hakka Suppressing Tiger master.
The last few times that I was watching him demo, could have sworn that he was doing long-limbed White Crane…..
I had wanted to name this entry as "Hakka Yong Tau Fu" – the famous Hakka dish that uses a mix of vegetables, toufu, beans, different meats and spices to make a "salad" soup.
Didn't want to be misunderstood as trivializing Hakka fighting traditions but I really do think that Hakka boxing is a very fascinating mix of many flavors.
Just like their delicious Yong Tau Fu…..got to run….hungry…..


The London Festival of Architecture is on in the British capital at the moment, and one of the smaller pieces of brilliance on show is architect Matthew Lloyd's zero carbon elevator. It's a clever little contraption that uses water and solar power to lift wheelchair users up the (for them) previously inaccessible Duke of York steps next to the Institute of Contemporary Arts.
The perspex and steel structure weighs three tons and was especially difficult owing to the steps' listed status. (Yes, in England even stairs can have protected status.) A quick phone call to the Royal Engineers Corps soon sorted that out, however.
Two large solar panels atop the structure provide energy to the elevator, which has water-filled weights to counterbalance the elevator car itself. The Festival itself donated $15,000 to the project, which was inspired, says Lloyd, by the experiences of his father when he was confined to a wheelchair.
The lift was launched last weekend by uber-architect Will Alsop (in the elevator, on the right, dressed as architect John Nash, the brains behind so much of Regency London) and a couple of other notables. Its creators are hoping to get their baby patented, as well as providing three lifts for the London Olympics, whose much-trumpeted green credentials are currently looking a little, well, fossilized.

34-Year-Old Sanna Marin Of Finland Set To Become Youngest PM Ever
Anushika Srivastava
Selected to lead the Social Democratic Party in Finland, Sanna Marin is all set to become the youngest ever Prime Minister in history. The 34-year-old Finland's former transport minister will be the third female Prime Minister in Finland's history.
At 34 years of age, Sanna Marin is all set to become the youngest ever sitting Prime Minister in history. She is also the third female Prime Minister in Finland.
After becoming the head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27, she had swift rise in politics.
Interestingly, four other parties in Finland's coalition government are also led by women.
Post her appointment as the Prime Minister, she is expected to represent Finland at the Dec 12, EU leaders' summit in Brussels.
Marin's political career took a swift rise after she was appointed as the head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27.

Third Female Government Leader In Finland
According to The Guardian, Marin's party is the largest in a five-member-government coalition. Also, she is the third female government leader in Finland. After her appointment as the Prime Minister, she will be the youngest ever sitting Prime Minister in history, followed by Kim Jong Un who is said to be 35 years old. "We have a lot of work ahead to rebuild trust," Marin told reporters after winning a narrow vote among the party leadership. "I have never thought about my age or gender, I think of the reasons I got into politics and those things for which we have won the trust of the electorate."
Joined Politics At The Age Of 27
Marin's political career took a swift rise after she was appointed as the head of the city council of her industrial hometown of Tampere at the age of 27. "We have a joint government program which glues the coalition together," Marin said. Marin's appointment as the Prime Minister comes after the resignation of Antti Juhani Rinne. Rinne resigned from his post of Prime Minister after a party in the coalition said it had lost confidence in him following his handling of a postal strike.

"I have never thought about my age or gender, I think of the reasons I got into politics and those things for which we have won the trust of the electorate."
Also, some prominent positions in the government are occupied by women. Deputy Speaker of the Finnish Parliament Tuula Haatainen(F) will take over for Timo Harakka(M) as the Minister of Employment, while Harakka will be named the successor of Marin as the Minister of Transport and Communications. Tytti Tuppurainen (F), the Minister for European Affairs, will be made responsible for ownership steering, while Rinne (M) will take over for Haatainen as Deputy Speaker of the Parliament. Sirpa Paatero (F), who has been on sick leave since stepping down as the Minister of Local Government and Ownership Steering on 29 November, will be reinstated as the Minister of Local Government on 13 December, according to Helsinki Times.

News and Programs
Young EarthKeepers at Saint Aloysius' College, Milson's Point
News and Programs Programs and Projects Slideshow
15 August 2016 25 October 2017 Ecojes Admin
Peter Hosking, SJ, Rector of Saint Aloysius' College-Milson's Point with some of the Year 3 students during the EarthKeepers training.
It was an amazing experience for Year 3 students of Saint Aloysius' College Milson's Point in Australia who joined last May 2016 the North Sydney EarthKeepers Program, developed by Virginia Cobb, a Year 6 teacher, and Alex Moors, a parent member of Saint Aloysius' Sustainability Committee, with a lot of assistance from Helen Eggelton Girl Guides and North Sydney Council.
The Institute for Earth Education in West Virginia, USA developed the EarthKeepers program, written around 20 years ago for children aged 10 to 12. Numerous studies were conducted into the effectiveness of the program and it was found to create long-lasting change to environmental behaviours and attitudes.
The journey for Saint Aloysius' College started in 2013 when it was suggested that students undertake the training program to become EarthKeepers. The school was keen to find a way to run the program with their students and it was difficult, with hurdles to jump and partners to find.
Young EarthKeepers and future sustainability leaders
This year, the program was undertaken at the North Sydney Council's Coal Loader Centre for Sustainability, Waverton. This centre "transforms an ex-industrial site to a place that showcases innovation, enables hands-on learning about sustainability in daily life, and serves as a community meeting point and hub for the Council's environment and sustainability programs."
Through the support of the school's Sustainability Committee, Saint Aloysius' College, Milson's Point is now licensed to run the program annually.

Business School 's Code Of Ethical Behavior
Barilla Case Ian Gregory 29 January 2017 In accordance with the business school's Code of Ethical Behavior, I attest that I have not engaged in any acts of plagiarism in completing the assignments. – Ian Gregory Case Issues Barilla was one of the most successful brands of Italian pasta during the time period enumerated in the case. Despite their success, there were a variety of issues that plagued the company. Such issues included fluctuating demand that created a bullwhip effect throughout the supply chain, putting excessive pressure on the corporation. Some of the problems with variable demand may have been related to issues with the sales and promotional methods that the company was undertaking. Trade promotion…show more content…
Failure to do so was inhibiting the implementation of the JITD system and thus allowing problems faced by the company to fester. Supply Chain Issues The foremost of the issues being faced by the company seemed to be related to their supply chain. Forecasting demand, as earlier mentioned, was difficult due to variably. As it stood at the onset of the case neither Barilla nor their distributors had the technology or sophistication in their supply chains to accurately measure the fluctuating demand. Additionally, there were no order limits for distributers, which in conjuncture with the poor forecasting abilities of the company, created strain on the manufacturing process. The use of trade promotion further served to create unsteady demand. To add to these problems most of the distributors seemed to batch their orders; choosing to order on a weekly basis rather than in real time. This method for ordering was at odds with the supermarkets from which the distributors ordered. It is stated in the case that the supermarkets placed daily orders to the distributers biased on items sold during business hours. All of these factors decreased the logistical effectiveness of the company. Neither Barilla nor their distributors desired to take on excess inventory to buffer for the demand fluctuation. Doing so would have been expensive and in some cases

Two people from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, were killed in crashes with deer over the Memorial Day weekend.
On Sunday night, a 69-year-old motorcyclist died when he struck a deer south of Eau Claire, the Leader-Telegram reports.
On Monday morning, a car hit a deer head-on on Interstate 94 near Watertown, east of Madison, and the animal when up onto the hood and through the windshield, WTAQ reports. The Associated Press and WKOW report that a 54-year-old male passenger from Eau Claire was killed, and that a 53-year-old female driver was injured, although WTAQ says it was the woman who died.
Drivers, take note: Deer-related crashes are frequent in the fall months, but next month is one of the worst months for driver and passenger injuries in such crashes in Wisconsin, the Appleton Post Crescent reports.
In four of the past five years, June was the worst or second-worst month for motorists' injuries from deer crashes, the newspaper reported. From 2006 to 2012, annual deer crash fatalities numbered between five and 14, the state reported.
In Minnesota in 2012, there were nearly 2,500 crashes with deer, resulting in 342 injuries and five deaths, according to state statistics.
The state breaks down the crashes by county here. Sherburne (178) and Dakota (162) counties reported the most deer crashes.
Friends, family and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire community remember two students killed in an apartment fire Monday morning. Twenty-one-year-old Ross Livermore and 22-year-old Jacob Clarkson were found unconscious inside the building when firefighters arrived. The students from Stillwater lived in the apartment with two other Stillwater High School grads who managed to escape.


Rep. Fred Keller (R-85) applauded Gov. Tom Corbett's 2011-12 state budget address today and agrees with the Governor on several key points.
Corbett's proposed General Fund budget would spend approximately $27.3 billion, which is almost $900 million less than Gov. Ed Rendell's last budget. The $900 million in cuts represent a 3.1 percent cut in spending.
Keller also noted this is by no means the final budget. Next on the agenda will be a series of hearings conducted by the Appropriations Committee over the next few weeks in which each state department and agency will appear to discuss their specific budget needs. After those hearings are complete, the real works begins. Each line of the budget will be reviewed to see if additional cuts can be made, or if the proposed funding is adequate. Once alternate budgets have been constructed, the House and Senate will each debate the bills, negotiate an agreement, and send the proposal to Corbett for his approval.


Polylactic acid (PLA) is polymerized lactic acid with biodegradable properties. It is often used in plastics. Generic polylactic acid currently on the market, however, has optical purity and residual monomer quality issues, which requires the use of different additives depending on the application to improve functionality, moldability, and manufacturability.
We have successfully produced a polylactic acid with a high level of purity and optical purity by utilizing our unique lactic acid purification technologies. This product is custom made to customer specifications.
From lactic acid as raw material to polylactic acids, we consistently use our products to provide a high level of reliability through traceability.
We have developed "PDLLA-DA" (poly DL-lactic acid) and "PGDLLA-SA" (poly lactic?glycolic copolymer) for drug delivery systems (DDS).
These polymers are produced using the non-catalytic polymerization and registered in Drug Master File (DMF) of U.S. FDA.

Around NM: Spring runoff, planning trouble on the Gila, oil boom and more
By laurapaskus | April 24, 2017

The Rio Grande in Corrales is overbanking, sending water to a restoration area on the west side of the river.
If you haven't gone out to look at the Rio Grande, no matter where along its banks you live, now's the time. The snowmelt is pouring down the channel, causing the river to overbank in lots of places throughout the Middle Rio Grande Valley. In southern New Mexico, the normally dry channel is also running as water managers are moving water from reservoirs to southern New Mexico fields and orchards and to Texas.
Speaking of snowmelt, March was an exceptionally warm month in New Mexico. According to the National Weather Service, 143 record-high temperatures were broken across 34 weather stations on 15 days. In Albuquerque and Roswell, this year brought the warmest March on record. And for both cities, it was the seventh above-normal March in a row.

EPA stays methane rule
Last week, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt announced plans to issue a 90-day stay of the agency's rule to cut methane emissions from oil and gas infrastructure. The rule would have taken effect on June 3.
In a letter last week to attorneys for oil and gas trade groups, the American Petroleum Institute and the Texas Oil and Gas Association, Pruitt wrote that the agency found that industry objections to the rule merited additional time and attention.
According to a story in the Santa Fe New Mexican:
Opponents of the regulations include the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association, State Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn and Gov. Susana Martinez, who wrote a letter supporting a congressional measure to repeal the BLM methane rule. The repeal was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives but has stalled in the Senate.
Still no plan for Gila diversion
According to the Silver City Daily Press, the agency in charge of planning and managing the proposed diversion on the Gila River is going back to the drawing board. Again.
Formed in 2015, the New Mexico Central Arizona Project (CAP) Entity includes local officials from southwestern New Mexico's four counties, cities like Deming and Lordsburg and local irrigation and soil districts.
At the group's meeting last week, Executive Director Anthony Gutierrez explained that the CAP Entity's most recent plans couldn't work, as they were slated for lands owned by the State Land Office and The Nature Conservancy.
From Benjamin Fisher's story:
Weren't we supposed to have something to the Bureau of Reclamation so they could begin the NEPA process?" asked Entity Chair Darr Shannon. "I feel like we're flailing. Not failing, but flailing here."
To that, Gutierrez said he had acted with the information he had.
"I have asked and asked for input," he said. "I had zero phone calls, zero emails, zero input from board members on what they would like to see."
Shannon then admitted that the board should perhaps have been more involved, and recommended the board members read through Gutierrez's revised scope of work and respond with any concerns or additions they would like to see.
In 2004, Congress passed the Arizona Water Settlements Act, which gave the state of New Mexico 10 years to decide how to use federal money to meet water needs in four southwestern counties. The state could pursue efficiency and restoration projects or receive a larger subsidy and build a diversion. In November 2014, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission (ISC) voted to pursue the diversion. Since then, the commission and the CAP Entity have failed to come up with feasible plans for the diversion or its location, though that information was due to the federal government last summer.
New Mexico has already spent more than $11 million of an estimated $90 million in federal money it plans to receive. There are also more than $6 million in outstanding contracts and $1.7 million in ISC's operating budget. Based on funding requests in other bills this legislative session, it appears as though the state plans to spend another $15.2 million on the project in Fiscal Year 2018.
Earlier this year, a bill in the New Mexico Legislature would have required the ISC to answer certain questions, including how much water is available from the river and how much the project would cost, before spending additional money.
Related story: Bill would provide oversight on Gila diversion spending
Members of ISC and the CAP Entity opposed the bill, saying it would prevent the state from completing its plans and require environmental studies in time to receive the full federal subsidy.
The bill made it through the Senate Conservation Committee, but was tabled by the Senate Finance Committee, chaired by Democratic Sen. John Arthur Smith of Deming.
On Saturday, the Las Cruces Sun-News published a letter from Bishop Oscar Cantú, head of the Las Cruces Catholic Diocese, about the state's plans on the Gila River. Cantú said people in southwestern New Mexico must establish water security for the future but pointed out that the proposed diversion is expensive, ecologically harmful and impractical. In the spirit of Earth Day, Cantú also wrote:
Fishermen, hunters, birders and hikers all enjoy this beautiful piece of nature in New Mexico. After a busy Holy Week and Easter weekend, several of my priests and I enjoyed a couple of days of camping, hiking and fishing along the Gila River. It's amazing how nature has the ability to nourish and replenish the human soul. Indeed nature takes care of us, if we take care of it.
Oil and gas news
According to a story in the Farmington Daily Times, LOGOS Resources is planning to drill four new wells in the San Juan Basin within the next few months:
Today, the company controls approximately 165,000 net acres and 550 oil and gas wells, which produce approximately 40 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day, making Logos one of the largest operators in the San Juan Basin.
Now, [founder Jay Paul] McWilliams says, LOGOS is gearing up to start drilling again.
"But we won't be doing a lot of drilling because prices are so low," he said. "The area we're focusing on is about 45 minutes down (Highway) 550 toward Cuba," he said. "It's in the Gallup formation, near Nageezi."
Meanwhile, the Permian Basin is the nation's most active basin for oil drilling right now. Companies are buying up land and Bloomberg reported last week that the Blackstone Group paid $2 billion to buy pipeline company EagleClaw Midstream Ventures. That deal includes 375 miles of natural gas pipes.
According to Baker Hughes, currently there are 340 active rigs in the Permian Basin, drilling new wells in both Texas and New Mexico. That's up from 136 this time last year.
In an editorial on Sunday, the Albuquerque Journal wrote that rebounding energy prices and big spending by companies is good news for the state. That recovery is welcome news, wrote the editorial board, even as it serves as a reminder to broaden the state's economic base so that schools, hospitals and state agencies aren't subject to boom and bust cycles.
The editorial board also had other advice for legislators:
In light of any expansion, it bears repeating that the Legislature should also have passed Senate Bill 307, which would have restored the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division's legal authority to fine oil and gas companies for spills and other violations of state law. When the state Supreme Court stripped the OCD of that power in 2009, its collection of fines dropped from an average of $597,000 annually to $14,000 in 2010. Lawmakers have had eight years to correct that. Considering the recent industry ramp up and the uncertain fate of the federal methane rule safeguards, OCD authority to enforce the law is more than likely to become an even more needed protection in the near future.
That bill, which NM Political Report followed closely, passed through two committees, only to die in the Senate Finance Committee.
Mining and drought
Mining companies and their shareholders need to be worried about drought.
Now, according to a story in Eos, a publication of the American Geophysical Union, researchers have come up with a way for companies to understand the financial risks of drought.
From the story, by Emily Underwood:
First, the team obtained historical records of drought frequency and severity using the Palmer drought severity index from 1950 to 2014. Combining those data with annual production values from mines of 15 companies, they calculated a risk index that reveals the likelihood of a severe drought occurring at each location each year and estimated how such an event would differentially affect mines' annual production values and the companies' overall portfolios.
Disclosure of those water risk management frameworks, she writes, would also help investors and government regulators.
To read the study itself, visit Water Resources Research.
And really, get yourself to the Rio Grande. The high flows are a beautiful site to see right now. Just in case you need some more motivation, I'll leave the U.S. Geological Survey stream gage data for the river at the Alameda Bridge right here.

Alexander Witkin (2 February 1907 – 17 December 1961), who performed as Afrique, was a South African singer and impressionist who starred in theatre in Britain and the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.

Biography
The son of Russian Jews who emigrated to South Africa in the 1890s, Witkin was born in Johannesburg in 1907.   He originally intended to study law, but then trained as a singer, making his debut in South Africa in 1927.  In 1930, he performed at a Hebrew Order of David friendly society function in Johannesburg.

He emigrated to England, and joined the Vic-Wells Opera Company in 1931.  His vocal range allowed him to sing opera parts ranging from tenor to bass, with the result that he was able to imitate both Richard Tauber and Paul Robeson. In 1934, he auditioned for the Windmill Theatre as a variety act.  The owner, Vivian Van Damm, wrote that he picked him because of his stage presence, saying: "He had no act, no set routine.  He came on dressed in a leopard skin, carrying a spear and made terrifying Zulu noises deep in his throat.  From those small beginnings, we built up an act for him and very soon he had a ten-minute spot in each show and was a very big attraction."

He regularly performed on the London revue and cabaret circuit, performing impressions of singers and actors.  One of his most popular impressions was of the Prince of Wales; although the Lord Chamberlain said that it was "most undesirable and in very bad taste", he had no powers to prevent performances in nightclubs, though Afrique dropped the impersonation soon afterwards.   Afrique made radio broadcasts on shows such as Variety Bandbox during the 1930s and 1940s.  He first performed at the London Palladium in 1936, toured South Africa with Larry Adler in 1938, and appeared in the 1939 film Discoveries.  In a 1940 British Pathe film clip, he impersonates Maurice Chevalier, George Bernard Shaw, Hitler, and singer Peter Dawson.

He performed regularly in London revues and pantomimes through the 1950s, but became a heavy gambler.   He died in Lambeth, London in 1961, aged 54, and was buried at Willesden Jewish Cemetery.

A: [Note: This will never work on arm64 machines like the Mac M1, because ioncube provides only amd64/x86-64 binaries for their extension. If you need to bring something back to life from the past you can do it in the amd64 environment of gitpod.io for example.]
You could do this manually inside the web container each time you did a ddev start, but that doesn't sound like much fun.
Instead, we'll incorporate all the required changes into the add-on Dockerfile see docs.
Put these contents in your project's .ddev/web-build/Dockerfile and then it will (one time) build up your ddev-webserver image with the ioncube .so loader you need and the PHP configuration you need. This is for PHP 7.1 as you said, you'd change the PHP_VERSION for some other version.

This paper examines the bidding for school milk contracts in Florida and Texas during the 1980s. In both states firms were convicted of bid-rigging. The data and legal evidence suggest that the cartels in the two states allocate contracts in different ways: One cartel divides the market among members, while the other cartel also uses side payments to compensate members for refraining from bidding. We show that both forms of cartel agreements are almost optimal, provided the number of contracts is sufficiently large. In the auction the cartel bidder may face competition from non-cartel bidders. The presence of an optimal cartel induces an asymmetry in the auction. The selected cartel bidder is bidding as a representative of a group and has on average a lower cost than a non-cartel bidder. The data support the predicted equilibrium bidding behaviour in asymmetric auctions in accordance with optimal cartels.

Although the forex market is open 24 hours a day, there are a few hours that are considered the best times to trade forex, and it is extremely important for a trader to identify these times so as to increase profit potentials.It is true that the forex market is open 24 hours a day, but that doesn't mean the market is active and worth trading for the entire day.
6/10/2012 · The best timing to trade Forex is " London Open TO London Close" Nikitafx 2012-06-07 08:30:26 UTC #12 The most important question is not what time, but at what levels to buy and sell.
Just like the best time to trade Forex within certain hours, there are certain best days to trade Forex as well! Generally, it's Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This day chart has been provided by Babypips.
The Best Forex Trading Hours. The hours when these 4 markets overlap with each other is the best time for trading. The best time is 8 AM to 12 PM, when both New York and London Exchanges are open. These two exchanges control 50% of the total trade in all 15 exchanges of the world.
Best Hours to Trade Forex for Trading. The best hours to trade Forex is when the market is most active. When more traders are active, trading spreads the difference between the bid price and the asking price tend to narrow. The result is that less of your money goes to the market maker the specialist who trades the currency in question and more to the buyer and seller.

Francophone/postcolonial literature; colonial history; 18th-century culture
I'm currently Chair and Director of Graduate Studies of the Department of French. I'm also a member of the Executive Committee of the Institute for Comparative Literature & Society and Co-director of Columbia's Amman-Tunis Middle-East/North Africa summer program, an intensive Arabic language course combined with a cultural and historical seminar.
Teaching and Research
My teaching and research areas include francophone/postcolonial literatures and cinemas of France, the Maghreb, the Middle East and the Caribbean as well as the cultural dimensions of migration and diaspora. I also teach and write about eighteenth-century French culture, particularly with regard to orientalism, colonialism and the history of slavery.
My current book project, After Violence: Cultural Renewal in Contemporary is about literature, cinema and other forms of artistic expression in contemporary Algeria. I look both at how memories of the 'Black Decade' of the 1990s are finding expression in the arts, and at new developments in Algerian culture, for example the establishment of new publishing ventures and arts venues and the emergence of new literary voices and forms.
I am also editingThe Comparative Literary History of Slavery, Vol. 1: Slavery, Literature & the Emotions. This is the first of a three-volume series devoted to the literary imprint of modern slavery across regions, languages, genres and media. Published under the auspices of the ICLA's Comparative Literary Histories series, it is scheduled to appear in 2020-2022.
Other current projects include a collective volume on contributions of the Guadelopean writer and winner of the 2018 'Alternative Nobel Prize," Maryse Condé, an article on multilingualism and translation in North-African literature and a book chapter on testimony and aesthetics in literary and cinematic accounts of contemporary Mediterranean migration.
Current Grants
With support from a grant from Columbia's Humanities War and Peace Initiative I am working on a multifaceted project on spatial aesthetics and arts spaces in the Maghreb and Middle East. The project includes research on politics, the arts and what I am tentatively calling the 'cultural public sphere' for my book on contemporary Algeria, and course development around conflict, conflict resolution and the arts in Algeria and Tunisia.
I have also received a grant from the Center for Spatial Research to develop a hybrid course with traditional and digital components on space, urban conflict and cartography in North Africa. This new course will be offered in conjunction with CSR in fall 2020.
Co-written with historian Myriam Cottias, Relire Mayotte Capécia: une femme des Antilles dans l'espace colonial français is a critical re-edition of two mid twentieth-century novels by the Martinican writer, Mayotte Capécia. In an introductory essay to the novels we explore the fascinating convergence of race, gender, colonialism and the Vichy regime that formed the context of these two polygraphic texts.
Trading Places: Colonization and Slavery in 18th-Century French Culture, examines the place of slavery in eighteenth-century French literature, philosophy and material culture, particularly textiles and furniture. It focuses on the longstanding silence surrounding colonial slavery and on processes of displacement and disavowal.
