Q: Google analytics for Android: Events are sent for delivery but not displayed in google console I have Google Analytics(v4) integrated in my application. Everything is working fine except event logging in the google console, some events are being displayed but some not. In the debug information of the Hits , there is no error information and all the hits gets the same message that is

D/GAv4: Hit sent to the device AnalyticsService for delivery

I am making my event request as per the suggestion of GA, that is
AppInit application = (AppInit) context.getApplicationContext();
    mTracker = application.getDefaultTracker();
mTracker.send(new HitBuilders.EventBuilder()
                                .setCategory("Create")
                                .setAction("CreateNewBinder")
                                .setLabel("Save")
                                .build());

Logcat for 3 different calls for GA events is as below:

Here the first event is not recorded but the last two events get recorded in the google console even though the debugger shows the same output for all the three requests. I am at loss here that why the bottom 2 events gets recorded but not the first one. Any help will be appreciated
Note : My configurations are correct otherwise nothing should be displayed on Google console. Also i have waited for like 2-3 days in the hope that they may appear on the console but to no good.
Kinda same question has been asked here but no answer was ever given

Q: Function name must be a string fatal error I have this Fatal error, I've been staring at my code for hours.. I think it has nothing to do with the name of the function action_send, it must be some silly 'missing parenthesis' or something...
can you help me please ?
if (...) {}
else if (!historic_exist($id)) {
                action_send($req, '0', (strpos($req['TAG'], 'ADMD') !== false) ? $req['ID_ACT'] : '');
//the error is in this line :
                    if ((strpos($req['WF'],'Install') !== false) && $req('ID_EQU') !== '')
                action_send($req, '', '0');
                    }

A: try to change,
if ((strpos($req['WF'],'Install') !== false) && $req('ID_EQU') !== '')

to
if ((strpos($req['WF'],'Install') !== false) && $req['ID_EQU'] !== '')

A: In PHP you can call functions dynamically using variables. In your code you are using $req('ID_EQU') which PHP considers a function call.
But $req is an array so PHP parser throws a fatal error:
Fatal error: Function name must be a string in \..\file.php on line ..

You must change $req('ID_EQU') to $req['ID_EQU'].

Middletown, RI ~ Mr. and Mrs. Keith Alfred Henry KSJ of Middletown, RI are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Crystal Marie Henry DSJ to Corry Michael Thibault, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald R. Thibault of Tiverton, RI.
Crystal is a graduate of Middletown High School and is currently attending Roger William�s University. Corry is a graduate of Joseph Case High School and has attended UMass at Dartmouth.
A winter wedding and has been planned for 2012.


Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that collections of estimated personal income taxes in December and January will exceed the administration's projection by more than $900 million. The payments include normal estimated payments, one-time payments based on repatriation of foreign profits in advance of a December 31, 2017 federal deadline, and accelerated payments that would normally have been received later in January or in April 2018 in order to avoid the new federal cap on state and local tax deductions that began on January 1.
Section 704 of the bipartisan state budget, referred to as the "volatility cap" provision, requires that any revenue from estimated and final income tax payments in excess of $3.15 billion be diverted to the budget reserve fund. The November consensus revenue projection for these payments was $3.14 billion, of which more than $2 billion has been collected to date. This means that only $10 million of any increased collections can offset any budget deficit in FY 2018, while the rest will be transferred into the rainy day fund under this new law.
An unexpectedly large amount of the tax revenues are attributable to one-time payments required under Section 457A of the Internal Revenue Code, a federal law enacted in October 2008 to require hedge fund managers to bring overseas profits back into the United States by the end of 2017.
In addition, hundreds of millions worth of the increased collections are attributable to taxpayer efforts to accelerate tax payments that would normally be paid early in 2018 into calendar year 2017 in order to take advantage of the federal tax deduction that became capped on January 1, 2018. It will not be possible to provide a breakdown of tax collections among these types until final tax payments in April have been received and evaluated. The State of Connecticut in recent years has collected about $750 million in December and January combined, and well over $1 billion in April.


Today we start with the most basic question: What is an investment adviser?
The term "securities" is very broad, covering obvious things like stock, bonds, and interests in limited liability companies, but less obviously things like (1) mortgages, and (2) blockchain tokens that are treated as securities under Howey.
EXAMPLE #1: Molly Smith operates a Crowdfunding site that allows investors to participate in specific mortgage loans made to real estate fix-and-flippers. Because investors choose their own mortgage loans, Molly probably isn't an investment adviser.
EXAMPLE #2: Samantha O'Hara creates a fund that buys and sells mortgage loans made to real estate fix-and-flippers. If Samantha is deciding which loans the fund will buy and sell, she's probably an investment adviser.
EXAMPLE #3: John Kelly, software engineer, reads the Wall Street Journal and often gives investment tips to his friends. Because he's not in business and not being compensated, John isn't an investment adviser.
EXAMPLE #4: Craig Toricelli creates a fund that buys and sells apartment buildings. Because a fee simple interest in real estate isn't a "security," Craig isn't an investment adviser.
EXAMPLE #5: Gregg Wright creates a fund that buys and sells bitcoin (buy on the dip!). Because bitcoin isn't a "security," Gregg isn't an investment adviser.
Lawyers, accountants, engineers, and teachers aren't investment advisers if their performance of advisory services is solely incidental to their professions.
Brokers and dealers aren't investment advisers if their performance of advisory services is solely incidental to the conduct of their business as brokers and dealers, and they do not receive any special compensation for advisory services.
The publication must offer only impersonal advice, e., advice not tailored to the individual needs of a specific client, group of clients, or portfolio.
The publication must contain disinterested commentary and analysis rather than promotional material disseminated by someone touting particular securities.
The publication must be of general and regular circulation rather than issued from time to time in response to episodic market activity or events affecting the securities industry.
EXAMPLE: Each time Cindy Liu, Esquire finishes work on an ICO, she post on her Facebook page: "Take a look!" Even If her clients think they're paying for the publicity as well the legal work, Cindy's not an investment adviser, because she's not being paid by her Facebook friends.
In that list, you don't see "advisers to private funds" or "advisers to family offices." That's because while these and other common species of investment advisers are exempt from registering with the SEC, they are still investment advisers, which means (1) they are still subject to certain legal obligations, and (2) they still might have to register with a state. More on all that later.

Options Traders Play Video Game Stock After Earnings
The video game maker is under scrutiny for its workplace environment
Aug 4, 2021 at 10:05 AM
Activision Blizzard reported second-quarter results that beat Wall Street's forecasts
Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) is no stranger to the spotlight, but recently that spotlight is more akin to the lighting of an interrogation room. Amid a lawsuit surrounding the company's toxic workplace, a number of executives have stepped down from their positions. And now, WilmerHale, the law firm hired to review Activision Blizzard's policies and procedures, is coming under fire for its history of union-busting, and workers from Activision, Blizzard, and other King's studios have formed a new coalition called ABK Workers Alliance in response.
All of this drama is unfolding amid earnings season. The video game maker announced second-quarter profits and revenue that beat Wall Street's estimates after yesterday's close, and provided an upbeat forecast while citing strong strong demand for its "Candy Crush" and "Call of Duty" franchises. In response, the stock was last seen 2.9% higher to trade at $81.99.
A number of bear notes rolled in after the event, including one from MKM Partners in the form of a $12 price-target cut to $108 from $120. The shift from analysts today isn't a surprise considering the majority of analysts were bullish on ATVI coming into today, and the stock is down 12% in 2021. All 18 call the equity a "buy" or better, while the 12-month consensus price target of $117 is a hefty 38.1% premium to last night's close.
Today's options pits are full of speculation from both sides of the aisle. So far, 17,000 calls and 8,358 puts have crossed the tape, total volume that's four times the intraday average. Most popular is the weekly 8/6 85-strike call, followed by the 75-strike put from the same series.
Yesterday, ATVI fell to its lowest trading level since Nov. 30. Despite today's mini-rally, the shares breached their 320-day moving average last week, and have taken a 14% haircut in the last month.

Poll: Should Sam invite Cathy O'Neil to be a guest of the Waking Up Podcast?
Cathy O'Neil is the author of "Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy". Having read her book, I think she would make an excellent and timely guest on the Waking Up Podcast, especially given Sam's interest in the topic of AI. Her premise, in a nutshell, is that algorithms have a tendency to reflect our own biases, too often magnifying them to unprecedented degrees as they become integrated into widely used systems. Rarely are they evaluated for unintended consequences following adoption, or even tested in the first place to ensure they are actually tracking variables the algorithm's creators assume are correlated with the desired outcome. For example, it is assumed by many employers that a poor credit history (algorithm) is a proxy for future job performance, when in fact research indicates a poor credit history is much more likely to mean a person encountered a major health crisis, was laid off when his/her company was downsized or went out of business, or was the victim of some other unfortunate life event beyond his/her control. I have heard other guests discussing the topic of AI/technology touch on this, but I don't recall a podcast that focused largely/entirely on this problem and its consequences for society.
Yes! This would be so interesting. Cathy's book demonstrates the collision of ethics and the algorithms destined to take over our daily lives. This would be a great podcast.

No longer out of sight, out of mind
Residents of College City believe that a sign into town is long overdue and efforts to erect one have been moving forward.
Although Pierce Christian College has been closed for 124 years and the building in College City no longer stands, the community still claim the name. The opening of Pierce High School brought students to Arbuckle, but College City remains relatively overlooked with the exception of a question by people noting the freeway exit sign, "Where's the college?"
College City may be small, but it is historic. Founded over 150 years ago, Andrew Peirce had the land, which he used to raise sheep, granted to him by a patent from President Andrew Johnson in 1855. Upon his death, his estate went to build Pierce Christian College. Due to a clerical error, the misspelled name "Pierce" stuck. Eventually, the college doors were closed due to costs but shortly after, Pierce High School took its place.
College City resident and former Pierce coach and history teacher, Tim Brumley, is on the frontlines for raising money for the new sign.
"As of right now, we're a quarter of a way to our goals," Brumley said.
Lee Traynham had donated a section of his land for the new sign. Gravel for the sign is planned to be laid down, Brumley estimates within two weeks.
Working with the efforts of the Sacramento Valley Museum, the Arbuckle Revitalization Committee want the masonry and brick work to match the Arbuckle fire station sign, which will be done by the same company.
Tax deductible donations will be gratefully accepted to help move the project forward and can be sent to ARC, PO Box 784, Arbuckle, CA 95912. ■

Belvoir presents, THE WIZARD OF OZ, after L. Frank Baum, in the Belvoir St Upstairs Theatre, Surry Hills, May 2 - May 31.
THE WIZARD OF OZ, is Directed by Adena Jacobs, following on from her HEDDA GABLER 'investigation - interrogation" last year for the Belvoir audience. This is not an adaption of the novel, or even of the famous film.
From the program notes:
Jacobs stark re-imagining of L. Frank Baum's narrative masterpiece (1900) is an abstract theatrical poem about innocence, grief and the terror of growing up. The production is not a stage adaption of the novel, rather Jacobs conjures the striking symbols at the heart of THE WIZARD OF OZ: the trauma of exile, rites of passage, and the all-consuming desire to be someone else, and reimagines them into an immersive, surreal, dream-like fantasia.
These program notes were, possibly, written well before this work was completed and seems to be in expectation of some high hopes for the finished product. For in the reimagining of THE WIZARD OF OZ, and in finding the ways to execute those re-imaginings, the experience of the work, for the most of us I was with, was not 'immersive' rather, elusive; was not 'surreal', rather puerile; not 'dream-like', but rather sophomoric, soporifically nightmarish but without doubt, a 'fantasia' composition of different forms and styles.
Indeed, one does need to know, or have, some working knowledge of these American books and film (Ms Jacobs', HEDDA was inspired, by the U.S. of A, as well - her Hedda was living there, wasn't she?), or not much of this Australian production would speak too clearly to you. One of my friends had no references for anything she was watching, not having read the book(s) or seen the film, or the musical, or even WICKED! And even then, I assured her, I, who knew the film fairly well and have seen WICKED, could recognise the characters in broad terms, but could not make much of the narrative or the symbols. "What was it about when the Tin Man was raping Dorothy in the corner of the light box in the upstage corner?" - I couldn't explain. There is virtually no spoken text or 'poetry', although there are one or two recognisable songs which were more than a trifle anachronistic for Mr Baum's Land of Oz - though beautifully sung, theatrically sung, by Paul Capsis (the Lion). His singing the only real 'grace' of the performance.
I guessed, for my companions, later in the foyer, as we exasperatedly tried to gather our experience into a coherent beginning for conversation, that the production was an investigation-interrogation of what it was for Ms Jacobs and/or her collaborators to grow up in the awful world of their personal environments, the bourgeois world of Australia (OZ?), in a world of fraudulent wizards - where nothing is what it appears to be but rather some foul, gothic, grim, deceptive, z-grade horror place (there was a feint hope that we were heading to that TV/SBS prison series called OZ , when an apparent 'dominatrix' and 'slave' began a mildly interesting S&M scene - but no, alas, not much happened to sustain one's interest - just shades of grey.) From the musical interludes, text, offered us, I surmised, and suggested to our foyer gathering as we headed for the doors, what we were been told was: Dorothy was taught that somewhere over a rainbow, life might be happier, and so she is always chasing rainbows and discovers in episodes of 'terror' that nothing is what it seems, and further, the lesson life teaches, for women, is that only YOU can make the world seem right/bright. Is that It? Wow, I hadn't ever thought of life like that before THE WIZARD OF OZ! - some of my companions had, and said if that is what this production was about, it was fairly lame. Each to his own, I guess.
The dinner we had up in Crown St, after, was less an opaque experience. What our senses could not absorb in the theatre was subsumed by the sensual theatre of recognisably good nourishment - real food. Our senses awakened our unconscious. We all loved it - loving what we were digesting and agreeing it was nurturing.
Over dinner, one of us, in a fit of giggles brought on, presumably by the glass of wine she had, suggested that the Department of Social Services ought to have being called to help those poor artists from their childhood, adolescence and, perhaps, adulthood, to aid them in their seemingly continuous cyclic wheel of depressive experiences of being a woman in this relentless, time to infinity, orbit of the earth. Cruel, cold and lacking any kind of human empathy, or thing known as 'love' - poor people, we agreed. No progress in sight at all for those female psyches it seemed - for the production ended where it had started (and the re-start looked to be alarmingly imminent again) - ahh, no! Fortunately, the Director called a halt to it all after an hour or so. This therapeutic abreaction of these artist's psyche was really a bore for the most part. Banal (pronounced, 'bay-nahl' not 'bar-nahl', in this case, please) at best.
I was attracted at the start, the atmospheric tension created with the stillness and light, and especially sound - the later shakuhachi sounds reminding one of the scores for Kurosawa's RAN and KAGEMUSHA. Epic!- was a tangible curiosity. That the production's storytelling did not unfold much further in interest, after some fifteen minutes in, forced me to cogitate and conclude that Ms Jacobs may have spent too much time attending theatre on the fringes of the Berlin Performing Art world, some years ago - the clues: the vitrine glass box with exhibit in it (in this case, a dog. No, not a Duck, different Belvoir show. Oh, Toto, perhaps? Though a different breed of dog from what I remembered of the film), the underwear and nudity (semi, but all beige, beige, grandmother beige), the 'persona' masks, the microphone drop from the roof, and those zippy Brechtian curtains whisking across the stage on those diagonal wires. One of my favourite bits, I must confess, the 'swish', clatter of the curtains, especially the red velvet Judy Garland like-ones, in this show.
That the program notes suggests that
In approaching performance in this way the production joins a long line of image based artistic expression from Romeo Castellucci's well known avant garde company Societas Raffaello Sanzio, ... to Robert Wilson ... and even our own Barrie Kosky
…Tells much of the delusional aspiration going on here. Not in any moment, did this work, this production reveal either in content or form: a high quality of technique of Light and Sound, of Theatre Design (Set or Costume), of acting mastery of body expression, or of an original or even coherent conception or statement by the writers-storytellers-improvisors-directors - that could connect this work to a line of worthiness to the above artists (let alone Ariane Mnouchkine or Robert Lepage, both left out by these artists as possible inspiration), except as admiring imitators. "Go, git way back to the end of that line." Way, way back. The now retired MY DARLING PATRICIA company has done this kind of work, oh, so much better, and with much more unique innovation of artistry: NIGHT GARDEN, AFRICA, for instance. (Now there is a company that should be deserving of the National Program for Excellence in the Arts (NPEA), by Brandis.)
THE WIZARD OF OZ, as it is on the Belvoir stage, is probably a reasonable outcome for an exploration of the source material, that may have taken place over the four or five weeks (that many?) of the available rehearsal time (observed, with excitement, by John McCallum, according to the notes in the program). But that short, tepid time for the construction of the work and then the technical divining in the theatre is a paltry one for one to achieve results beyond that of a first draft workshop, surely? The 'wizards of Oz' behind this work were, indeed, not much different than the fraudulent Wizard of OZ in the movie - but at least he had put on a good show - a yellow brick and all, for us to be able to follow! If this work had been shown as part of a process of development at Performance Space, one could look more easily at what my friends had subscribed for/to, what I had paid for, without growing rancour and resignation.
Time, ah, Time. Time is the finite enemy of the creative artist. This work suffers from the lack and/or good use of what of it, they had.
Money may be the other enemy. It is difficult to be succinct and beautiful without money.
And, as one of my subscriber friends to Belvoir said, after this show, the third one in a row that had frustrated him at Belvoir, maybe Mr Brandis is on to something. For they were thinking after this year, it will be either the Griffin or The Eternity that will score their subscription support.
The Composition and Sound Design, by Max Lyandvert was what held this work together. Paul Capsis, and the anticipation that he might break out into more song is what kept one in one's seat. If only he had.
Next, Brecht's MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN. We are all holding our breath, and believing in Eamon Flack (praying for him - no pressure, sir, no pressure), the Director, who has rewarded us, mostly, at Belvoir, in these recent dreadful years, with quality respite in his ANGELS IN AMERICA, and THE GLASS MENAGERIE.

Anylogic est un environnement de modélisation multi-méthode : Dynamique de système, Évènement discret et Multi-agents, dans n'importe quelle combinaison : il est ainsi toujours possible de créer le meilleur modèle. La puissance d'AnyLogic pose toutefois la question du choix, le choix des bonnes méthodes. Notre formation AnyLogic a deux objectifs : le premier, apprendre à utiliser la modélisation AnyLogic, le deuxième, être capable de choisir la bonne approche et le bon niveau d'abstraction. Cette formation est à la fois utile pour les nouveaux utilisateurs, qui souhaitent améliorer leur productivité avec AnyLogic, et également pour les utilisateurs AnyLogic expérimentés qui veulent perfectionner leurs connaissances sur la modélisation. Par expérience, nous avons pu observer qu'habituellement, il y a des éléments AnyLogic que les modélisateurs ne connaissent pas.
Vous pouvez également, au cours de la formation, obtenir une assistance professionnelle pour votre propre projet AnyLogic.
Si votre entreprise souhaite dispenser la formation à plus de 3 modélisateurs, la formation sur site est un choix logique. Dans ce cas, nos formateurs se rendent dans vos locaux, ce qui vous fait gagner du temps et de l'argent en évitant les déplacements.
De plus, ce programme est personnalisé : dites-nous quels sont les problèmes les plus importants pour vous et nous allons préparer un ensemble spécifique de présentations et d'exercices. Le cours et les thèmes abordés sont préparés sur mesure afin de vous permettre d'utiliser au mieux votre logiciel.
La formation sur site est dispensée à un tarif fixe, peu importe le nombre de participants (jusqu'à 15). Toutes les dépenses de déplacement sont déjà comprises dans le prix.
The training workshop was really helpful to get a good understanding of the AnyLogic simulation environment and appreciate its potential. The training focused on getting the basics and experimenting with each modeling methodology using easy-to-understand examples. It also covered many advanced features which were explained in detail by our capable trainers who also provided a fun and welcoming training environment.
It was very useful and effective. It is really cool to learn in that way, together with people from academia and industry. The interaction among us was very instructive.
The course was very interesting, and well built. I would recommend this course to any new user of AnyLogic, it is a very good introduction to this complicated but powerful software.
The training course is extremely practical! A very good hands-on training experience with enough variety in the examples covered to get a holistic overview of all the main functions that are available in AnyLogic. Course is very practical with hands on examples. The assistance of the training coordinator is extremely helpful, not just in the training examples but also for advice on current projects.
The training was very structured and condensed, designed to make the most of the three training days. However, the real benefit lies in the exposure to the trainers team, the creators of the software, that helped me understand better the way the software ticks. You also get to pick the instructor's brains on issues that you might have faced while using AnyLogic. That was really helpful and added a lot of value to the training.
The AnyLogic training I just followed in Paris has been really helpful to understand in which ways will I use AnyLogic. I think AnyLogic is a powerful tool for simulation modeling; its feature to use different modeling paradigms is its most interesting capability from my point of view. Furthermore it allowed to draw models with very different abstraction levels. And all that just with very basic knowledge of JAVA due to its "drag&drop" feature.
I participated in both Fundamentals and In-Depth training courses. Both courses were well designed with excellent hands on tutorials and examples on multimethod simulation that AnyLogic offers. The training coordinators were very helpful and professional, in particular Yulia Tropina who gave excellent advice not only on training examples but also on current projects.
AnyLogic training was very well prepared, showing us the main advanced capabilities of AnyLogic in the field of modelling and simulation. I would recommend this course to anyone serious in simulation since the tool pushes the boundaries forward, both technically as well as methodologically. Mr. Grigoryev and Mr. Koltchanov provided excellent explanations as well as consulting, with regard to our ongoing AnyLogic projects, in the course afterhours.
The training provided sufficient introduction and conceptual understanding for practical scenarios in realizing the full potential of AnyLogic. The trainers' enthusiasm carried us through some tough and interesting lab exercises; and of course their support was key in helping me and my colleague to leave the training with the essentials to drive AnyLogic value at our organization.
AnyLogic training was very useful for us. We could, in a short span of time, solve some very interesting and challenging modeling and simulation problems and extend our knowledge about AnyLogic's modeling capabilities. Furthermore, the tutor was very supporting and answered our doubts and gave directions. During the training we also networked with experts in discrete-event simulation.

Shraddha @ Soho Theatre, London
by Amelia Nallamilli
published: 1 Nov 2009 in Theatre
Natasha Langridge's new play is gritty yet magical and filled with poetry.
Langridge spent two years researching Romany lives throughout the UK and Shraddha (a Romany term derived from Sanskrit meaning faith: 'you are what is in your heart') is the end result.
In the programme notes she describes how the persecution that Romany people have endured for centuries continues today: 'In England it still seems commonly acceptable to call Gypsies "dirty, thieving pikeys".' It is clear throughout the ninety-minute production that a driving force behind the play is an attempt to rectify this situation.
The plot concerns a community of Romanies who are being evicted from their settlement of the last 17 years to make way for the construction of sports facilities for the London 2012 Olympics.
Against this turbulent backdrop teenagers Pearl, a Romany, and Joe, a 'gorger' (the Romany word for people other than Gypsies) from a local estate, meet and begin to fall for each other.
Lisa Goldman's production presents its audience with the dignified daily lives of Romanies. The family trailer has been lovingly decorated and, when Pearl finishes making sandwiches, she immediately gets out a mini vacuum cleaner to clear the crumbs.
The richness of Romany culture and heritage is also explored, most pointedly when Pearls granny, a worldly Anna Carteret, performs a traditional dance to the tune of a live fiddler.
A wire fence encloses the Romany site where the Olympic construction has begun through which Pearl and Joe talk – and even steal a kiss. This is the central and most symbolic piece of Jon Bausors versatile set. Obvious yet effective, it never allows the segregated ghettos of the Romanies nor the many barriers between the lovers to be forgotten.
While it can take a bit of effort to follow the play's fast-paced language, peppered as it is with Romany words, in general the writing serves to expand the audience's vocabulary; there is a lyrical quality to the Romany-flecked dialogue.
Goldmans production is imbued with a sense of the outdoors. There is a tree that Pearl often climbs and her caravan doesnt seem nearly as restricting as the house Joe shares with his dad, Dean, the embodiment of anti-Romany sentiment. Deans home is mortgaged to the hilt which keeps him tethered to jobs he hates.
It emerges that many Romanies can as be strongly anti-gorger as some people are anti-Romany and the community seems equally set against the union of these two young people, fearing it will ruin Pearls prospects with Romany men. This hostility forces Joe and Pearl to run away together.
The acting is strong throughout, particularly the performances of the young pair. Alex Waldmann successfully captures Joe's youthful bravado and shows how it masks the fear and inexperience of someone who has repeatedly suffered brutality at the hands of the men in Pearls world. He gives a lengthy and highly-charged monologue recounting a time he ran off to the Romany Appleby Fair and ended up in a bare-knuckle brawl. Jade Williams lends Pearl a strong, otherworldly quality while superbly encapsulating the conflict she feels in having to deal with such a culture clash on top of everyday teen angst.
The young couples moments of tenderness, youthful ideals and a touching, comic dance scene, soon give way to the harsher realities of survival. This triggers Pearls natural resourcefulness, and she feels she is growing into her true self, while Joe finds himself struggling and this leads to fights between them that are as physical as their previous expressions of love.
Though you are left uncertain as to the future of this pair and to that of the Romany community, you come away with a little more insight into the world of this marginalised group. If overcoming ignorance is a key to breaking down prejudices, Langridge has taken a step towards her aim here.

Support Grows for ARDA Site for Veteran's Cemetery
Larry Agran sent this update on the proposed Veteran's Cemetery at the ARDA site. I will note if we didn't go through the entire Landswap/Strawberry Fields/Measure B fight, construction on the original site would have begun more than a year ago. Council member Melissa Fox, who's leading the charge for a special election for the 5th city council seat because — democracy — fought tooth and nail against direct democracy on Measure B and has now come around to moving forward on ARDA.
As Agran points out, we need one more vote on the city council to move this forward. If not, the same people who brought you Measure B will bring another citizen's referendum on moving the ARDA site forward.
Kudos to the work of State Reps. Sharon Quirk-Silva and Tom Daly for moving AB368 forward. It's time to get this done.
Agran writes:
Construction of a beautiful Veterans Memorial Park and Cemetery should have begun two years ago — on the City-owned, 125-acre "ARDA" site in the Great Park. The first phase was scheduled to become operational this year.
Instead, we have had two years of delays and obstruction by the City Council.
The good news is that a bipartisan group of State lawmakers has introduced legislation — Assembly Bill 368 — pledging that the State will build, operate and maintain a Veterans Cemetery — at no cost to the City of Irvine — if the City agrees to locate the Veterans Cemetery on the original ARDA site in the Great Park. Two City Councilmembers, Melissa Fox and Farrah Khan, are saying "yes" to the ARDA site. But a third Councilmember's vote is needed.
So far, Councilmember (now Mayor) Christina Shea seems to want to continue searching for another site, and Councilmember Anthony Kuo has been silent on the matter. (The fifth City Council seat remains vacant.) This matter was scheduled to be heard at a Council meeting in May. But in a troubling development, the item has been removed from the May agenda.
In the event the City Council doesn't support AB 368, Irvine's all-volunteer "Build the Great Park Veterans Cemetery" committee is preparing to launch an initiative campaign for a public vote. The initiative would require the City to transfer the 125-acre City-owned ARDA site to the State in order to begin construction of the Veterans Cemetery in the Great Park.
Ed Pope, Co-Chair of the citizens' committee, has begun raising the $75,000 needed to launch a successful citywide initiative — preparing all the legal documents, printing thousands of initiative petitions, and organizing hundreds of volunteers to gather the 20,000 Irvine resident signatures needed to qualify the initiative for the ballot.
My wife Phyllis and I have already made a contribution. We ask you to join us.

Considering the source of this article is non other than the fraudulent past Mayor of Irvine who gave away 200 million dollars of Great Park money to his friends, readers should be highly skeptical of anything said. As I understand it, nothing has been committed in writing by the State to fund the clean up costs of the ARDA site. only some phantom Legislative Bill, which has not been passed. Pass the Legislation, let the State work out a contract for a timeline for development of the Cemetery and then talk to me about the ARDA site. Meanwhile, back at the Great Park, the Council should continue to fast track the golf course site, including assessed values of the land there vs the value of the ARDA site. This would serve as a back up in case the State does not come through. Once the land is given to the State, the City of Irvine no longer has any control over it. If the State comes through with the money and the Council can mitigate the complaints from the School District and adjacent homeowners, then I have no problem moving forward with the ARDA site. Moral of the story is, keep Larry Agran and his bunch of two bit hustlers away from the Veteran's Cemetery process.
You liberal bleeding heart socialists want me, a really rich right-wing racist Republikkkan White man, to give up playing golf every other f**king weekend at immense expense to the taxpayers just so some wartime losers who didn't have a Klan member billionaire father to get them out of the draft (like I did) can be laid to rest properly? How dare you angry Democrats delay my self-gratification! I will sue you frivolously! Or at least put Rudia Giuliani back on TV again to freak everyone out with those janky Giuliani teeth.

As a Marine Corps Veteran of MCAS El Toro who served there from 1977-1995, I feel that these endless delays must stop and construction must begin soon to start laying our great warriors to rest in Orange County. Enough is enough! Time to end the political posturing on both sides and begin construction asap. As our great warriors rest in peace in the Great Park Veterans Cemetery I promise you that they will be quiet neighbors and will not cause any problems within your community.

LASSA FEVER SCARE, FMC YOLA AND JOURNALIST WITHOUT ATTITUDE
Published on: by:
Fancy Banco
The head of information and media relations with FMC Yola received series of phone calls today.
The entire media establishment in Adamawa State, the reporters and the correspondents with both electronic and print media at the national and international levels would want to confirm the authenticity of a report published in one of the national dailies, which linked Federal Medical Centre, Yola with Lassa fever outbreak.
The report claimed that lives were lost, about 45 nurses and 17 medical doctors with FMC Yola who have had contact with, while managing the Lassa fever case, were infected with the haemorrhagic virus hence were being quarantined at the health facility.
The head of information and media relations with the Centre said, the report could have been sourced from either rumour or the influence of hangover liquor. It is, by the ethics of journalism, unprofessional.
The correspondent just sat in a gallery or bear parlour, probably must have had from a member of the family of the casualty and decided to build an ocean of fable, which he fumbled and tumbled into, making double bubbles, having been swayed by the wave to subjectivity tied to unprofessionalism other than serial sensationalism.
The information and media relations invited the media, in general, to have the FMC side of the story for a balanced reportage.
Dr. Awang Sati Klein is a consultant physician who majored in infection diseases and how to get them controlled. He s the coordinator of the haemorrhagic fevers in FMC Yola. Dr. Joel Yohannah a consultant gynaecologist is the head of clinical services, currently serving in his capacity, as the acting medical director FMC Yola; these professionals have had a good time with the newsmen dispelling the rumour for a balanced story. The head of information equally has his take, tasking the media on objective reportage rather than feeding the public with grapevine junk.
Lassa fever is an infectious, often fatal, viral disease identified in West Africa. It is marked by high fever, muscle pain, ulcers of the mucous membranes, headaches, hemorrhaging and heart and kidney failure. The virus is being spread by rodent rats.
Adamawa state till this day, has not recorded any case of Lassa fever; any casualty suspected of being infect, has had a link with Taraba state; Dr. Awang and Dr. Joel would say.
A man working in Taraba state was alleged to have come with the virus unknowingly, when he visited his family in Yola.
The man was admitted at a private clinic. Having been suspected of being infected with a hemorrhagic virus, the man was referred to FMC Yola where he was quarantined. Samples were sent for investigation at hemorrhagic fever centre. However, the man died on complications resulting from what was suspected, a day before the result of the investigation was brought back.
His mother-in-law has been managing the casualty at home and while at the private hospital. Confirming that, bearing in mind also that she was developing fever, FMC Yola sent its well trained hemorrhagic fever health professionals with ambulance to convey the woman to the health facility for further investigation.
She s now quarantined and is receiving appropriate healthcare services, pending the outcome of the investigation.
List and contacts of those who were said to be with the casualty of Lassa fever while at the private clinic and at home, were taken. They were asked to visit the health facility anytime they might have felt severe headache or fever.
The real figure is one death resulting from confirmed Lassa fever and one suspected case still under investigation. Other than that, there s no any casualty, Dr. Awang confirmed this.
It is not true that our nurses and 17 medical doctors are being infected with Lassa fever. This is balderdash, Dr. Joel the Head of Clinical Services with FMC Yola refuted.

Judge Declares Mistrial of Officer in Freddie Gray Case
The city is bracing for a repeat of the unrest that swept Baltimore in April after Gray suffered a fatal spine injury in police custody.
By Tina Nguyen
A Baltimore jury announced Wednesday that they could not reach a decision in the case of William Porter, one of the officers involved in the death of Freddie Gray, resulting in a mistrial.
According to The Sun, the jury had deliberated for three days, visiting the judge numerous times for instruction before declaring that they were unable to agree on any of the four charges (involuntary manslaughter, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, and misconduct in office).
Gray, a 25-year-old black man, was found with a broken neck and a fatal spinal-cord injury after being arrested and detained in a police van last April, and died days later. His funeral sparked massive protests, and some looting across the city, which, according to The Sun, were the biggest in the city since the death of Martin Luther King Jr.
All six of the officers involved in his fatal arrest have been indicted, but Porter, who prosecutors say failed to secure Gray with a seat belt despite his being shackled at his hands and feet, was the first officer to go to trial.
Gray's death came shortly after the high-profile deaths of several young black men at the hands of police officers, including Michael Brown, Walter Scott, Tamir Rice, and Eric Garner, sparking mass protests throughout the nation and fostering the Black Lives Matter movement.
The Sun reports that police had prepared for a surge of unrest and riots in the event of a not-guilty verdict, but it's unclear what will happen following the announcement of the mistrial. Maryland prosecutors can re-try the case, but that process is expected to take more time, and possibly reconfigure the prosecution's overall strategy in trying the rest of the officers.

Background: Intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation are considered mechanistic links in the relationship between diet, obesity, and chronic disease. However, methods to measure both are not well standardized, and the reliability of commonly used measures is not known.
Methods: We calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for several common measures of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation from a randomized clinical trial of cross-over design in which normal-weight (n = 12) or overweight/obese (n = 12) individuals each completed three 8-day dietary intervention periods.
Results: For biomarkers of intestinal permeability, plasma zonulin, and lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, ICCs were "excellent" (i.e., >0.9). The direct measure of intestinal permeability, the lactulose/mannitol test, exhibited "fair" reliability (ICC = 0.53). A wider range of ICCs (0.6–0.9), suggesting "good" to "excellent" reliability, were obtained for measures of adipose tissue expression of genes encoding major mediators of inflammation. Similarly, individual immune cell populations isolated from adipose tissue, expressed as a percentage of all CD45+ cells, also had "good" to "excellent" ICCs. However, when these populations were expressed as number of cells per gram of tissue, ICC values were "fair," falling below 0.6.
Conclusions: Due to the repeated measures design, our study offered a unique opportunity to assess reliability of commonly used biomarkers of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation. Our findings suggest that these measures were generally highly reliable in the short-term.
Impact: Along with other factors, particularly validity, the demonstrated reliabilities can help inform the choice of endpoints in studies of intestinal permeability and adipose tissue inflammation.

Glenn Kenny May 12, 2017
Early in his career, a studio executive was heard to say of the director Doug Liman that he was the sort of person who, when asked what time it was, would take a wristwatch, disassemble it, explain its working parts and their function to you, and reassemble it, finally apprising you of the time via the result of his exertions. Such an engine-nerd quality might not be desirable when you're trying to negotiate a budget, but face it, it's pretty exemplary when you want a movie like "The Bourne Identity" or "Edge of Tomorrow" to emerge as sleekly constructed thrill machines. And so those Liman-directed movies are good stuff.
His new picture, "The Wall," sounds like a formal challenge that would be right up Liman's inventive alley. It's a three-character story, set in 2007, just as the war in Iraq has been pronounced officially over. Two American soldiers, a gunman and his lookout, are looking at the scene of a slaughter. Near the site of an under-construction pipeline, about ten Western "contractors" lie dead. Surveying the scene, the lookout man notes that they've all got head wounds. They were killed by a "pro," he reckons. The gunman isn't so sure. He removes his camo—they've been out on this mission for almost 20 hours with no action—and heads down from their perch to get a closer look at the carnage. And soon enough, he's hit. Down but not dead. His lookout comes down—the two have got some history, including a bond with a downed comrade from the past—and tries to help. And the bullets start flying again. The only shelter from the barrage are the crumbling remnants of a brick wall—hence the title. And it's from behind that wall that much of the subsequent action takes place.
These seem like the ingredients for a minimalist nail-biter, and before the first shot is fired, "The Wall" builds some solid suspense. Pro wrestler and all-around amiable media personality John Cena plays the gunner Matthews, while British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, following up from last year's "Nocturnal Animals," here avails himself once again of the opportunity to portray an American redneck, albeit one of the thrifty, clean, brave and relatively reverent sort. Actually his character, Isaac, is not terribly clean here. Where "The Wall" excels is in the creation of an extra-untantalizing desert atmosphere. The dust is practically inhalable, the sunlight glaring, and the characters grow ever more sand-gritted with each mishap. Lack of water and massive leg wounds are bad enough without the sniper still being out there.
And a clever sniper he turns out to be—he turns up on Isaac's radio feed, impersonating an American officer, trying to trick Isaac into giving his exact location, the better to pick him off. It's with the introduction of the unseen enemy that "The Wall" begins to go badly wrong. Once unmasked, the sniper says he wants to converse with Isaac, get to know him; when Isaac profanely balks, he threatens to shoot the face off Isaac's downed colleague. He's a troubled but voluble fellow, this sniper, and soon his talk turns to his motivation—an eye for an eye, he claims. The wall, he informs Isaac, used to be part of a schoolhouse. Ah—an "oh the humanity" metaphor. The ironies mount as the sniper quotes the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to Isaac. That's pretty profound, that the Iraqi knows more about classic American literature than the American. At this point you can actually feel screenwriter Dwain Worrell (a staff writer on the not-particularly beloved Marvel/Netflix series "Iron Fist," whaddya know) and Liman nudging you in the ribs. I felt like nudging them back, because, yeah, I, too, thought the Iraq War was a pretty bad idea but it wasn't really my call. And I didn't vote for the guys who did think it was a good idea, so what are you lecturing me for?
The posturing leads to an ending that's unsatisfying even on the level of pessimism it aspires to. As for what Liman does with the rest, well, he avoids certain sins of commission—he lets the setting and the action do the talking, eschewing music entirely until the end credits—but doesn't provide much in the way of added value. The only satisfying thing about the movie for me was that it answered the question "Can John Cena really act?" with a confident but not too showy "Sure."

We have a total of four programs offered during the school year.
This was created for our 2015 Summer Program, but the majority of the information remains current.
Tween and Teens, Group #3 and Group #4 (middle and high school), are described further down this page.
Within the six areas identified previously (see home page), the primary goals for both of these groups involve active listening, following directions the first time, effective conversational skills, looking around for environmental hazards, and emotional control. We pay attention to the cognitive, emotional, and social development for each child and adjust our goals, expectations, and strategies accordingly.
In general, we focus on helping students improve their skills across a range of developmentally-driven behaviors. We also attempt to emulate a blend between a pseudo-academic setting and naturalistic settings. This is one of the reasons we take the group members out to eat. It provides a more natural forum and environment for promoting conversations and related skills.
This group typically has about 12-16 students attending and meets from 4pm to 6pm on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, starting in October and running through May. Note as of 08/25: We have received a large number of referrals for this group and plan to hold a second, smaller, group on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.
This group typically has about 8-12 students attending and meets from 4pm to 6pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month, starting in October and running through May.
Drop Off: Both programs begin each session with the kids/teens being dropped off by their parents. We encourage parents to make it a quick process and not to linger with their children (after the first session). The kids are encouraged to "hang around," check in with others, and not isolate. One aspect of our program is that we focus on building and socially reinforcing behaviors from the moment they arrive until they depart. After they are dropped off, the kids have up to 10 minutes of semi-structured, guided, social interaction time while they are waiting.
Snack: We typically head into Gelsons for group snacks. We start off in the produce department, then work our way around to other areas. As we proceed through the market, there are a number of tasks for the younger groups. Emotional and body regulation, e.g., just walking with others, can be a challenge for some. For others, making simple decisions, such as what to eat, in a reasonable time frame, or monitoring where they are standing and independently moving out of the way of others can be a challenge. Finally for some, just having conversations, remaining focused on the task at hand, or accepting when the group doesn't get the item they wanted (e.g., 4 kinds of chips have already been selected and it didn't include their selection) can be an area of focus.
Transition: As we walk next door to the office, we monitor their walking gait, how they interact with others, extraneous asocial behaviors, or any unsafe behaviors (such as wanting to dart between a light pole and the curb.... a forbidden, unsafe activity in our program). We practice pedestrian safety, remaining with the group, and following directions during this phase.
At the Office: Typically, we start off with reviewing LUNCH Points certificates, a home-generalization program where parents select from any of 80 behaviors and present them to their children. After a child discusses their certificate with the group, other students decide how many raffle tickets are awarded, based upon various factors. Following this, we focus on projects, activities, and sometimes games. Occasionally the group will view short animations and discuss the content.
This group typically has about 12-18 students attending and meets from 4:15pm to 6:45pm on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month (Note: This is a change from prior years as a result of parent feedback), starting in October and running through May.
This group typically has about 12-18 students attending and meets from 4:15pm to 6:45pm on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, starting in October and running through May.
Transition: As soon as the majority of students have been dropped off, we walk directly to our office next door, monitoring how they interact with others, extraneous asocial behaviors, or any unsafe behaviors (such as wanting to dart between a light pole and the curb.... a forbidden, unsafe activity in our program). We practice pedestrian safety, remaining with the group, and following directions during this phase. Whereas the younger kids practice this because they may not have mastered the skill, with older pre-teens and teens, it seems to be more a matter that they view themselves as invincible and don't focus on routine safety. Because they are older, our rules for behaving are a little looser.
At the Office: Typically, we start off with reviewing LUNCH Points certificates after they have settled in. This is our home-generalization program where parents select from any of 80 behaviors and present them to their children. After a student discusses their certificate with the group, other students decide how many raffle tickets are awarded, based upon various factors. Following this, we focus on projects, activities, and sometimes games. Occasionally the group will view short animations and discuss the content.
Dinner: Anywhere between 5:00pm and 5:30pm, we go out for dinner. We will have typically announced where we are going at the start of the session after students arrive at the office. Sometimes we make it a group discussion. Other times, we may let two people decide where the group is going to go and invite them to discuss it with others. And, sometimes, staff just make the decision. We've visited a variety of restaurants and focus on it being more of a "dining" experience as opposed to just "grabbing a bite." This includes deciding what to order, especially if it is an unfamiliar restaurant. We will help students order "off menu" if they can't find something that they want to eat. It's also a time that we focus on manners, conversational volume, and how to have reciprocal interactions.

The credits have finally rolled on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the mission to unite the seven has begun. One member of the Justice League who we're incredibly excited to see debut on the silver screen is none other than Jason Momoa's Aquaman. He's a character that audiences have somewhat ridiculed for years, and according to director James Wan, the film will use that in order to craft a film with a generally lighter tone.
The kind of filmmaker that I am, even my darker horror films generally are still very fun. And I think that's important for me and the kind of films I make. I think Aquaman is a character that a lot of people have made fun of over the years, and I just think it's fun to actually show a really different, cool, badass side to this character. But the same time, let's not forget to have fun with it.
So while the Aquaman movie will feature no shortage of badass and awesome action for Arthur Curry to engage in, the movie won't forget how to enjoy itself. This is incredibly important, because many people would argue that the tone of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice could often feel oppressive at times. At this point we can only guess, but we feel as though the film may share numerous tonal elements with the first Thor film in the way it balances godlike action with the more ridiculous aspects of the character. After all, this is a hero who does have the ability to talk to fish; we can't take it too seriously at the end of the day.
James Wan explains that even when he has made horror films, he has taken it upon himself to ensure that the movies feel fun even when they're terrifying audiences. One need only look at the "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" scene from Insidious to understand what he's talking about. It's a horrifying sequence, but one that very clearly doesn't take itself too seriously. Check it out below to see what I'm talking about.
What do you think of James Wan's comments? Are you excited to see Aquaman debut on the silver screen? We will keep you up to date on all of the latest and greatest DC superhero happenings; be sure to check out Aquaman's big screen debut when Justice League: Part One hits theaters on November 17, 2017, and again when his solo film hits theaters on July 27, 2018.


High in the northern Andean mountains, nestled between Bolivia and Peru at an elevation of 12,467 feet, lies sacred Lake Titicaca. This is the world's highest navigable body of water and has been inhabited by the indigenous Uros Tribe since before the time of the Incas. The Uros don't live on the shores of Lake Titicaca, but on its deep blue water in villages atop reed floating islands.
Everything from the boats, houses, furniture, crafts, food (from the tender reed bottom) and the islands themselves are made from abundant totora reeds that grow in the lake. It's said that walking on these islands is similar to walking on a waterbed and care is needed not to misstep on a thin reed area or your foot will land in the icy water below.
Since the islands rot from beneath new layers need to be added and new islands built. At present there are 45 of these islands and the Uros produce most of what they need, relying on ancient techniques of fishing and hunting for food and raising chickens for eggs and meat. What they cannot provide for themselves they get in the nearby town of Puno on land.
To visit the Uros of Lake Titicaca is to learn about a unique, simple lifestyle of a people rich in history and a culture that has survived long before and long after the Inca civilization.


Australia's peak organisation for technology professionals, the Australian Computer Society (ACS), has hired a new chief executive without any direct experience in the technology sector.
In a statement released late yesterday, ACS revealed that it had hired Alan Patterson to be its new CEO, effective immediately.
ACS president Anthony Wong praised Patterson, noting that he had experience in working with governments, as well as a background in accreditation and professional development. "Alan is a highly qualified senior manager who possesses an excellent understanding of the challenges and opportunities that impact professional bodies," said Wong. "He has strong senior management experience gained while running businesses of various size and delivering organisational change."
However, it does not appear as though Patterson will have that much in common with the members of the society that he will represent.
According to his LinkedIn profile, his most recent position saw him work for more than three years as the chief executive of the National Association of Testing Authorities. Previous to that, he held a strategic marketing role for GC Japan — a Japanese-owned global dental manufacturer. He was also a long-time senior executive for NSW Health.
The executive's profile states that he has over 30 years of experience in senior executive roles in strategic, policy and operational management in both the private and public sectors. An ACS spokesperson was not immediately able to comment on the issue of Patterson's technology experience.
The organisation has suffered a number of problems with its leadership over the past several years. In February last year, it settled a lawsuit with its former CEO Kim Denham, who was sacked in May 2009. In addition, its last chief executive, Bruce Lakin, left the organisation in December 2010 after just over a year in the hot seat. ACS has been seeking a replacement ever since.
Both Lakin and Denham had experience in the technology industry, with Denham having worked as a chief information officer, and Lakin having long been a senior executive at companies like Veritas, Symantec and Teleware before taking up the ACS role.
In its statement yesterday, the ACS said Patterson had been charged with implementing the society's strategic plan. "His leadership will help drive key initiatives that benefit our members and assist the ACS in advancing the certification of ICT professionals in Australia," said Wong.
Executive recruitment firm Talent2 appears to have been responsible for the hire, with principal consultant Diana Williams noting in the ACS' statement that Patterson was selected from "a strong pool" of candidates.
"Alan was the successful candidate due to his considerable experience as a senior manager leading organisational change and his experience as a leader in services-based organisations and the not-for-profit sector," Williams said. "The quality of applications Talent2 received reflects the importance and quality of the work that the ACS undertakes on behalf of its membership to advance ICT professionalism in Australia."
For his own part, Patterson noted that he is looking forward to the role.
"I am proud to be a part of the ACS," he said. "I look forward to implementing the society's strategic plan and raising the profile of ICT professionals in Australia. My initial areas of focus will include engaging with members and helping to progress the certification of ICT professionals."

RM Says Restorative Justice Offers Ray of Light
Northern Caribbean University (NCU) hosted a symposium on Restorative Justice on Wednesday (February 3) on the university's campus, Mandeville, Manchester.
Held under the theme: Restorative and Community Justice: Making Jamaica the Place of Choice to Live, Work, Raise Families and do Business", it sought to showcase how Restorative Justice can influence conflict resolution in communities and the spin-off benefits to the society.
Using the Albion Primary School Restorative Justice Initiative as a model, school administrators, teachers, parents, community members and students were encouraged to use a proactive approach to building a school community, based on cooperation, mutual understanding and respect.
Resident Magistrate for Manchester, Oswald Burchenson, said of the symposium that it was a "well needed and extremely timely discussion" on Restorative Justice.
He said that despite what has been happening in the criminal justice system, where a picture of gloom, hopelessness and despair could be easily painted, there were rays of light.
One of these rays of light was the pioneering role the Community Counselling and Restorative Justice Centre has been playing for the past six years in the Mandeville community, he noted.
He pointed out that the Centre has been actively working within the Mandeville community in three distinct areas: intervention; Restorative Justice; and preventative education.
"These beacons of light become more critical in our society for two simple reasons. The first is because of the sad reality that Jamaicans continue to lose faith in their criminal justice system, and the second is the rising rates of violent crimes and prison over population," he remarked.
Restorative Justice is a movement promoting humane, transformative and cost effective alternatives to the current punitive, failed and costly system of mass incarceration, he added.
He said that Restorative Justice involves three primary stakeholders that is, victims, offenders and their communities
"The three primary stakeholders in restorative justice are victims, offenders and their communities of care whose needs are respectively getting reparation, taking responsibility and achieving reconciliation," he said.
He said that, as the interest in and understanding of Restorative Justice grows, it will only yield more opportunities.
"We need to find ways of breaking the vicious cycle of repetition of offending, punishment release, re-offending and punishment again. Restorative justice cannot be the sole answer to this problem, but can assist," he said.
"A criminal justice system that merely doles out punishment to offenders and sidelines victims, does not address the emotional or relational needs of those who have been affected by crime," he stated.


Eating out at Market Kitchen is always guranteed to put you in a good mood.
The light and airy dining room is designed around a beautiful tree that acts as a striking centrepiece, while the Californian-inspired food menu is filled with high-quality plates such as the signature black truffle pizza and tuna sashimi.
But on our last visit, we went upstairs to visit the Attic Bar and here we found a totally different type of vibe.
This is clearly a late-night venue, and the young and trendy feel is complemented by moody lighting and a funky patterned ceiling.
The walls are lined with bottles of grape, and there are a few comfortable armchairs as well as the many high tables.
We take a seat at the well-stocked bar, where we're immediately served by a friendly member of staff.
Although you might be tempted by the grape, this stylish venue also stocks an incredible number of juniper beverages.
In fact there are a whopping 23 different varieties from around the world. The perfect chance to try a selection of these is during the daily happy hour from 6pm to 8pm.
Mondays are also popular for the XOXO ladies' night.
Not only can girls enjoy unlimited amounts of selected mixed drinks and grape, but there's also 50 percent off food.
But we're just here for a nightcap and are extremely content just chatting away at the bar, and so eventually we give in and decide to stay for just "one more round".
The atmosphere is friendly and chilled-out, and the complimentary nuts are excellent too (well, we're big fans of any food that's free, but still these are very good).
This is a more upmarket and stylish place to drink compared to its cosy neighbour PJ O'Reilly's (in fact the two couldn't really be more different).
We can't wait to get our glad rags on and come back again to try out a few mixed drinks.


y = rectpulse(x,nsamp) applies rectangular pulse shaping to x to produce an output signal having nsamp samples per symbol. Rectangular pulse shaping means that each symbol from x is repeated nsamp times to form the output y. If x is a matrix with multiple rows, the function treats each column as a channel and processes the columns independently.
To insert zeros between successive samples of x instead of repeating the samples of x, use the upsample function instead.
An example in Combine Pulse Shaping and Filtering with Modulation uses this function in conjunction with modulation.
The code below processes two independent channels, each containing three symbols of data. In the pulse-shaped matrix y, each symbol contains four samples.
The output is below. In y, each column corresponds to one channel and each row corresponds to one sample. Also, the first four rows of y correspond to the first symbol, the next four rows of y correspond to the second symbol, and the last four rows of y correspond to the last symbol.

The Dixie Minor Nationals tournament team is currently preparing for its sub-district tournament on June 26 in Luverne.
Both the players and coaches are excited about their team and like their chances at the sub-district tournament.
"Practice has been going good," head coach Lee Hussey said. "We've been very pleased. All the kids have had positive attitudes. Of course, there's a lot of talent out here, so we're real optimistic about our chances at sub-district."
According to Hussey, the players on the team are going to surprise some people at sub-district.
"They've all impressed me," Hussey said. "We've heard talk all year that our division is the weaker division. These 12 kids are the most underrated kids, I believe, in the entire league."
Grant Hughes said he is excited about his first time on tournament team.
"It feels pretty good because I've been in this league for two years and this is the first time I've made it," Hughes said. "Almost every coach said I was pretty close last year."
Another player, Tyler Hussey, also said he was thrilled to be a part of the team.
"It's the best feeling ever," Hussey said. "I'm real excited about getting to play."
In addition to Hughes and Hussey, the Dixie Minor Nationals tournament team includes, Cade Calhoun, Sterlyn Eiland, Tyler Floyd, Cameron Foreman, Bryson Gandy, Kobe Griffin, Jacovey Jones, Colton Meeks, Devan Suddith and Graham Wilkes.

This is a theme designed to match the "Elegant Brit" family of GTK/Gnome themes. It also happens to goes well with Google Plus, as Google is using roughly the same colors and design.
Screenshot 1 - represents roughly what the theme looks like in Gnome (Linux/Unix) with Elegant Brit installed and "system title bars and borders" turned on. It has a gtk app there for reference.
Screenshot 2 - represents roughly what the theme looks like with non-native borders, like you might do in Windows.
The source for this Chromium theme can be found at the "developer's website" link, in case you want to hack at it. Also I'm using a modified (compact) metafilter theme, which I may eventually offer. I have limited vertical screenspace, and my titlefont is 0pt.
2.2 - Widened and flattened (fighting the shadows, mannn) the rusty-bar. Used elegant brit menu-text color for bookmark text. Fixed incognito mode. Smallified graphics. Cleanups. Rewrote description for "windows is fine." This version is probably the final, unless the chrome spec changes. I'm pretty satisfied with it.
2.1 - Added a bit of rust color between toolbar and frame. Tell me if this misaligns for anyone and I'll do a version revert.

Et que le vaste monde poursuive sa course folle (titre original : ) est un roman, publié en 2009, de l'écrivain irlandais Colum McCann. Il reçoit le National Book Award 2009. Il a été traduit de l'anglais par Jean-Luc Piningre.

Résumé
L'histoire commence le 7 août 1974, journée choisie par Philippe Petit pour traverser sur un fil, l'espace entre les deux tours du World Trade Center. En cet été, Ciaran, jeune immigré irlandais débarque à New York. Son frère John, dit Corrigan, appartient à un ordre religieux et vit au milieu des quartiers pauvres de la ville. D'autres personnages vont se croiser, comme Tillie, prostituée du Bronx au bord du désespoir, et sa fille Jazzlyn ; Gloria, une femme noire qui a perdu trois enfants au Viêt Nam ; Claire, jeune femme riche de Park Avenue et son époux, le juge Soderberg, qui prononce la sentence contre le funambule ; ou encore deux artistes contemporains en crise. Le fil du roman est tissé des rencontres entre ces personnages, sur fond de guerre du Viêt Nam et d'évocation en filigrane des attentats du 11 septembre 2001.

Sources d'inspiration
 La ville de New York, que Colum McCann connaît bien pour y avoir vécu plusieurs années, est au cœur du roman. Toutefois, l'auteur n'y habitait pas dans les années soixante-dix, période qu'il décrit dans son roman.

 L'histoire américaine récente (guerre en Irak, attentats du 11 septembre), évoquée à travers la guerre du Viêt Nam ou la danse du funambule Philippe Petit entre les deux tours du World Trade Center. Colum McCann s'est inspiré des similitudes entre ces deux époques :

 Émile Zola, pour son engagement et sa dimension sociale, proche de la réalité quotidienne des gens. Pour Colum McCann, «en faisant entrer en littérature les ouvriers, les gens de peu, les prostituées, - ce qui était inimaginable en plein  - il a posé un acte radical». Et, pour des raisons similaires, l'écrivain John Berger est aussi une référence pour l'auteur car il «invente des histoires en s'inspirant de personnages à qui on ne donne jamais la parole (...)».

 La figure de Corrigan est, en partie, inspirée de la vie de Daniel Berrigan, jésuite d'origine irlandaise qui a mené des actions non violentes dans les années contre la guerre du Vietnam. L'auteur mentionne aussi un enseignant de son enfance, le frère Kelly, et un moine de sa famille qui a travaillé dans les quartiers pauvres de New York.

 Le funambule Philippe Petit et sa prestation, entre ciel et terre, aux sommets des deux tours du World Trade Center. Sa performance et la façon dont elle est perçue par les différents personnages du roman, sont plusieurs fois mentionnées, notamment en introduction des trois grandes parties du livre.

 Le titre du roman est emprunté au poème Locksley Hall, d'Alfred Tennyson : Et que le vaste monde poursuive sa course folle vers d'infinis changements, vers eux-mêmes inspirés par les Mu'allaqât (Les suspendues), poèmes arabes du .
