Ferry capsizes in Philippines, drowning 22
MANILA, Philippines (AP) - December 14, 2008 The ferry was approaching its destination in Aparri town in Cagayan province after a seven-hour journey from Calayan islands in the Luzon Strait when it overturned near the mouth of the Cagayan River on Sunday evening, said Senior Inspector Alex de los Santos.
He said passengers jumped into the cold water after strong waves broke the ferry's bamboo outrigger, causing it to bob wildly.
"They panicked and grabbed anything like water containers that will keep them afloat then jumped off the boat," de los Santos told The Associated Press by telephone.
He said most of the 46 survivors swam to shore in Aparri, about half a mile (kilometer) away, where police and villagers found them shivering close to midnight.
The dead - including a 1-year-old boy and a town councilor - were taken to funeral parlors, where relatives gathered to identify them.
He said no one recognized the dead boy. "There were no relatives. Most probably his parents perished with him."
De los Santos said coast guard and navy vessels joined the search for 34 people still missing, but bad weather was hampering the effort.
Last month, a cargo ship sank in rough seas north of Cagayan, and passing vessels plucked 16 of 20 people from shark-infested waters. Weeks earlier, separate storms capsized two passenger boats in the central Philippines, drowning more than 50 people.
Sea accidents are common in the Philippine archipelago because of tropical storms, badly maintained boats and weak enforcement of safety regulations.
In December 1987, the ferry Dona Paz sank after colliding with a fuel tanker, killing more than 4,341 people in the world's worst peacetime maritime disaster.
The state weather bureau over the weekend warned of an approaching storm from the Pacific with winds of up to 60 miles (95 kilometers) per hour.
Tropical Storm Dolphin could become a typhoon before getting closer to the eastern Philippines in the next few days, according to forecasts.

'Going for the Jugular': The Steelworkers' Banner and the 1980 national steelworkers' strike in Britain
Charles McGuire
SSSHL Department of Humanities and Social Sciences
Across a thirteen-week period from January to April 1980, a national steelworkers' strike took place in Britain. Ostensibly a pay dispute between the steel unions and the nationalized British Steel Corporation (BSC), the strike brought into focus some of the deeper problems the industry faced. As articulated by successive governments, the media, BSC, and even elements within the leadership of the steel unions themselves, these problems were almost wholly a result of poor productivity and over-staffing in the industry. However, during the strike the main steelworkers' union, the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation, produced a journal, the Steelworkers' Banner, which challenged this consensus and provided a rationale for the strike. Basing its arguments on original research, the Banner produced evidence of BSC's mismanagement and produced an alternative strategy for the industry. This did not prevail but is significant as a rare example of a trade-union challenge to the managerial prerogative in relation to company strategy.

Blue Skies has been producing fresh fruit products from its factory near to Nsawam in Ghana since 1998. The company started by exporting premium quality freshly cut fruit to supermarkets in Europe before eventually diversifying to supply the local market with freshly-squeezed 100% natural juice. From the beginning our approach has differed from many other fruit processors because we believe in 'adding value at source'. This means our fruit is cut and packed in the country of origin, rather than shipped overseas and processed elsewhere. This philosophy not only enables Blue Skies to deliver a better quality product, but also helps to generate social and economic development within the country where the fruit was grown.
Today Blue Skies continues to supply a variety of retailers throughout the world with exceptional quality 'fresh from harvest fruit'. It also now has factories in South Africa, Egypt and Brazil from where it sources additional fruits that aren't available in Ghana. The company's factory in Ghana remains its biggest operation; having started production in 1998 with only 35 people, the factory now employs over 1,500 people and has an internet café, a library, a clinic and a canteen. It sources fruit from over 150 farms and is proud to support local communities by funding projects with the Blue Skies Foundation.
To date the Foundation has raised over 1.2 million cedis with its international partners and completed over 25 projects in Ghana. But we believe that it is our commitment to adding value at source that has contributed the most beneficial impact. By doing this we contribute over 5 million cedis to the local economy through staff salaries and account for around 1% of Ghana's total exports. We think this is pretty impressive for a relatively small company.
In 2008 and 2011 Blue Skies was honoured to have been awarded a Queens Award for Enterprise in recognition of our ethos and our contribution to sustainable development in Ghana.
We are proud of what we have achieved in such a short time, but most importantly we are proud to have done it in Ghana. Ayekoo!

"This is the Age of the Train"
Jimmy Savile
"We're getting there"
"The Age of the Train" was a television advertising campaign in the United Kingdom created by British Rail in the late-1970s to promote its InterCity rail travel service. The adverts were presented by DJ and BBC presenter Jimmy Savile and featured the then-new InterCity 125 high-speed train.[1]
Although a state-owned corporation at the time, British Rail was under pressure to operate on a more commercial basis. In attempt to revive its loss-making business, BR chairman Sir Peter Parker commissioned a series of commercials from Peter Marsh of the advertising agency Allen, Brady and Marsh (ABM).[2][3] The agency reportedly won the pitch to BR by keeping their visiting executives waiting for a long time in a dirty room surrounded by overflowing ashtrays and coffee-stained furniture; after the executives' patience came to an end and they were about to leave in disgust, Marsh entered the room to greet them, explaining that their treatment had been a ruse to illustrate the customer experience of BR, and that his agency would be able put it right.[4][5]
The reason Savile was selected to front the advertising campaign, was because at the time, he was perceived as being both a popular and family-friendly television personality.[6] The slogan, "This is the Age of the Train", is credited to the advertising executive Rod Allen, also of ABM.[7]
The advertisements continued to be produced until 1984, when they were replaced with a new campaign based on the slogan, "We're getting there".[1] In 2012, during the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal, it was alleged by a former BR lawyer that the decision to drop Savile from the adverts had been made due to suspicions he was a necrophiliac.[8]

\section{Introduction}

The unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix yields several
relationships for its components, such as
${V_{ub}^\ast}{V_{ud}}+{V_{cb}^\ast}{V_{cd}}+{V_{tb}^\ast}{V_{td}}=0$.
This describes the extent of \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ violation in the Standard Model (SM) in
the $B$ meson system and
can be represented in the imaginary plane as a triangle, where the
angles ($\alpha$, $\beta$ and $\gamma$) can be written in terms
of the couplings between quarks:
\begin{equation}
\alpha \equiv {\rm arg} \left [-\frac{V_{td}V^*_{tb}}{V_{ud}V^*_{ub}}\right ] ~~
,~~
 \beta \equiv {\rm arg} \left [-\frac{V_{cd}V^*_{cb}}{V_{td}V^*_{tb}}\right ] ~~
,~~
\gamma \equiv {\rm arg} \left [-\frac{V_{ud}V^*_{ub}}{V_{cd}V^*_{cb}}\right ].
\label{ckmangles}
\end{equation}
These angles can be extracted via \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ asymmetries
measured in several decay modes of the $B$ meson. In particular
$\gamma$ measurements can be made in modes which have
both $b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace c$ and $b\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace u$ tree diagrams, which interfere.
The magnitude of the interference is determined by the
ratio of the two methods of decay. We report on
recent analyses which aim to measure the angle $\gamma$ with data
collected with the \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\
detector\cite{detector}. All results are preliminary.

$B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^{(*)0}K^{(*)-}$ decays\footnote{Reference to the
charge-conjugate decays is implied
throughout the text, unless otherwise stated.} can be used to constrain the
angle $\gamma$  of the
Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix in a theoretically clean
way.
The small branching fractions of these modes demand high efficiency and
the exploitation of as many decay modes as possible.
Two quantities are used to discriminate between signal and background: the
beam-energy-substituted mass
$\mbox{$m_{\rm ES}$}\xspace \equiv \sqrt{(E_i^{*2}/2 +
\mathbf{p}_i\cdot\mathbf{p}_B)^2/E_i^2-p_B^2}$
and the energy difference $\Delta E\equiv E^*_B-E_i^*/2$,
where the subscripts $i$ and $B$ refer to the initial
{\ensuremath{e^+e^-}\xspace}\ system and the  $B$ candidate
respectively, the asterisk denotes the CM frame, and the kaon mass
hypothesis of the prompt track is used to calculate $\Delta E$.
The continuum background is also suppressed using topological
variables which exploit the fact that $B\overline B$ events are isotropic while
continuum events are jet-like.
Whenever we need to separate $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^{(*)0}K$ and $B\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^{(*)0}\pi$ events,
we use measurements of the Cherenkov angle of the
prompt track\cite{detector}. At \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\ 3 standard deviation separations
between the kaon and pion hypotheses  are
achieved for tracks up to 3.5 GeV/$c$. $\Delta E$  is also useful for this
purpose, as it depends on the mass assigned to the
tracks forming the $B$ candidate.
Backgrounds are characterized using simulation and off-resonance data.
The best candidate in each event is selected using observables which are
not used as
inputs to the fits. Finally, unbinned
maximum likelihood fits are preformed to extract the signal yields.
The main systematic uncertainties are due to the characterization of the
probability density functions for signal and backgrounds and to the
particle identification, but many of these
(e.g the absolute efficiencies) cancel when measuring ratios
of branching fractions. For measurements of \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ asymmetries, possible
detector charge asymmetries (all consistent with zero) are also taken into
account.

\section{GLW related measurements}

In the SM, for $B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^{0}K^{-}$  decays, we have:
$R_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}/R_{{\rm non}-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace}\simeq 1+r_b^2\pm2r_b\cos\delta_b \cos\gamma$
(in the absence of
$D^{0}\overline{{D}^{0}}$ mixing) , where
\begin{equation}
R_{{\rm non}-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace/\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}\equiv \frac{\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^-\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace
D^0_{{\rm non}-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace/\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}K^-)}{\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^-\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0_{{\rm non}-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace/\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}\pi^-)},
\label{eq:rstar}
\end{equation}
$r_b$ is the ratio of the color suppressed $B^+\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0K^+$ and color
allowed $B^-\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0K^-$ amplitudes ($r_b \sim
0.1-0.3$), and $\delta_b$ is the
\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace-conserving strong phase difference between these
amplitudes. Furthermore, defining the direct \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace asymmetry
\begin{equation}
A_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}\equiv
\frac{\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^0_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}K^-)-\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^+{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^0_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}K^+)
}{\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^0_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}K^-)+\ensuremath{\Gamma}(B^+{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^0_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}K^+)},
\label{eq:cpa}
\end{equation}
we have:
$A_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}=\pm 2r_b\sin\delta_b\sin\gamma/(1+r_b^2\pm
2r_b\cos\delta_b\cos\gamma)$. Similar quantities and relationships exist for
the the modes $B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^{*0}K^{-}$ and $B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^{0}K^{*-}$, where the
corresponding $r_b$ and $\delta_b$ might have different values from the ones
for the $B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^{0}K^{-}$ mode. The unknowns $\delta_b$, $r_b$, and
$\gamma$ can be
constrained from the measurements of $R_{{\rm non}-CP}$, $R_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}$, and
$A_{\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\pm}$. The smaller
$r_b$ is, the more difficult is the measurement of $\gamma$ with this
method.

At \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\ we have studied the $B^{\pm} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0 K^{\pm}$ modes\cite{glw1} in the
flavor ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^-\pi+$), \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=+1$ ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^+K^-$ and
$\pi^+\pi^-$), and \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=-1$ ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^0_S\pi^0$) eigenstates.
Figure\ref{8-0921_fig} shows the $B^-{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace}D^0K^-$ signal
after requiring that the prompt track be consistent with the
kaon hypothesis for the flavor and \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ eigenstates. In a dataset of
$\sim$216 million $B\overline B$ pairs, we find 897 events in
the flavor,  93 in the \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=+1$, and 76 in the \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=-1$ eigenstates.

The $B^{\pm} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^{*0} K^{\pm}$ modes\cite{glw2} have been studied, where the
$D^{*0}$ decays into $D^0\pi^0$, with the $D^0$ reconstructed in the
\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ even eigenstates $K^-K^+$ and $\pi^-\pi^+$, and in the flavor
eigenstates  $K^-\pi^+$, $K^-\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, and $K^-\pi^+\pi^0$.
Figure~\ref{fit_con} shows the distributions of \ensuremath{\Delta E}\xspace\ for the
combined non-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ and \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\ modes before and after enhancing the $B\rightarrow
D^{*0}K$ component. This is accomplished by requiring that the prompt track be
consistent with the
kaon hypothesis and that $\mbox{$m_{\rm ES}$}\xspace>5.27$ GeV/$c^2$. From a dataset of
$\sim$123 million $B\overline B$ pairs, we select 360  $B^{\pm} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace
D^{*0} K^{\pm}$ events in the non-\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace modes and 29 events in the \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace\
modes. The \ensuremath{\Delta E}\xspace\
projections of the fit results are also shown.

Finally we have studied the $B^{\pm} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0 K^{*\pm}$ modes\cite{glw3} in the
flavor ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^-\pi+$, $K^-\pi^+\pi^+\pi^-$, and $K^-\pi^+\pi^0$),
\ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=+1$ ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^+K^-$ and
$\pi^+\pi^-$), and \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=-1$ ($D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^0_S\pi^0$, $K^0_S\omega$, $K^0_S\phi$)
eigenstates, with $K^{*-}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^0_S\pi^-$.
After requiring that the prompt track be consistent with the
kaon hypothesis, from a dataset of $\sim$227 million $B\overline B$
pairs, we find 498 events in flavor, 34 events in \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=+1$, and
15 events in \ensuremath{C\!P}\xspace$=-1$ eigenstates.
\mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}'s results for the modes used in the GLW method are reported in
Table~\ref{table1}.

\section{ADS related measurements}

We can also use the  Atwood, Dunietz and Soni
method, which exploits the interference between the decay chain
combining the CKM and color
suppressed $B^+\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace D^0K^+$ decay and the CKM allowed $D^0\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^-\pi^+$
decay and the one with a color allowed $B^+\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace \overline{D^0}K^+$ decay
and the doubly CKM suppressed $\overline{D^0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^-\pi^+$ decay. Using
this method we can measure:
\begin{eqnarray}
R_{K\pi}  = \frac{\Gamma(B^- \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^+ \pi^-]_D K^-) + \Gamma(B^+ \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^-
\pi^+]_D K^+)}{\Gamma(B^- \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^- \pi^+]_D K^-) + \Gamma(B^+ \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^+ \pi^-]_D
K^+)} \nonumber\\
= r^2_b + r^2_d + 2r_d r_b \cos{\gamma}\cos{\delta}
\end{eqnarray}
where $r_d  =  |A(D^0 \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^+ \pi^-)|/|A(D^0 \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace K^- \pi^+)| = 0.060 \pm
0.003$, $\delta$ is the sum of the strong phase difference of the $B$s and
$D$s decay amplitudes and $r_d$ is
the ratio of the suppressed $D$ decay to the dominant $D$ decay.

For this method we have studied both $B^{\mp} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}]_D
K^{\mp}$ and $B^{\mp} \ensuremath{\rightarrow}\xspace [K^{\pm} \pi^{\mp}]_{D^*(D\pi/\gamma)}
K^{\mp}$ decays.
Figure~\ref{figads} shows the signal for the three suppressed decay modes.
\mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}'s results from a dataset of $\sim$227 million $B\overline B$ pairs
are consistent with no signal.
Using a Bayesian model, we measure: $r_b < 0.23$ at 90\%
C.L. for the $D^0K$ mode, and $r_b < 0.21$ at 90\%
C.L. for the $D^{*0}K$ mode\cite{D_Kpi_K}, as shown in
Figure~\ref{8-0948}, results which make a
measurement of $\gamma$ quite difficult.

\section{Constraints on $r_b$ and $\gamma$}

The latest conference results by \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\ and Belle on the modes previoulsy
described have been combined by the UTfit\cite{utfit} group, and some of
the results, derived using a Bayesian approach, are reported in
Figure~\ref{utfit1}.

\section{Conclusions}

Many decays and methods have been or are being investigated to
extract the angle $\gamma$, and tighter constraints on its value will be
found, once larger data sets become available from both \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\ and Belle,
though these measurements appear quite difficult given the latest \mbox{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\scriptsize A\kern-0.2em R}}\
measurements of a small $r_b$ for the $D^0K$ and the $D^{*0}K$ modes.

My arms hurt as I walked through Brooklyn on a cold December night. I was carrying a 10-pound, party-size tray of macaroni and cheese with three cheeses, cooked to just a touch beyond al dente, with a breadcrumb topping. I was headed to a community potluck and had spent the better part of that morning making (read: babying) a mornay sauce, cooking the pasta, and baking the mixture in the oven. As I walked the six blocks from the subway station to the venue where the meeting was being held, my arms started to shake. I started to wonder why I didn't just pick up a bag of chips and a jar of dip and call it a day, but then I remembered the excited messages I received when I told my fellow event-goers that I would be bringing macaroni and cheese to our potluck. It was my way of making my friends and community members happy on a cold night and my way of providing comfort as we talked about the future of our community.
Why do we cook? First, we cook to sustain ourselves and our families. But in the current culture of food-as-art-form, we also cook to express ourselves. Cooking may seem like an act of self-preservation, an act that is both self-serving and necessary, but if you look beyond the immediate and beyond the narrow definition of what cooking is, you can see that cooking is and has always been an act of resistance.
Every time we step to our stoves to make a meal we're engaging with the society around us. Each ingredient that we use, every technique, every spice tells a story about our access, our privilege, our heritage, and our culture. The foods and dishes we consume are all part of larger forces that impact our lives. Our appetites and what we crave are the result of our place in the world at that time.
Three cookbooks—Feed the Resistance, The Sioux Chef's Indigenous Kitchen, and The Immigrant Cookbook—show how the act of cooking can be a platform for social justice and social action.
For Sherman, creating dishes using ingredients that were available to his ancestors is how he reclaims Native American foodways and supports the indigenous community. In his book, he explains how the work that he does now is about continuing to explore these foodways and create dishes using ingredients that are native to Minnesota. Instead of fry bread, Sherman creates corn cakes with braised bison or smoked duck because these ingredients represent indigenous cuisine and its reliance on the land and ingredients in a more holistic way.
Sean Sherman (Oglala Lakota) is founder of the Sioux Chef, a Minneapolis food education and catering company. The "indigenous cuisine" movement is an effort to revitalize Native food cultures in modern kitchens. Illustration by Fran Murphy. Photo by Nancy Bundt.
Feed the Resistance can feel like a diary at times and offers readers a peek into the kitchens of people all over the United States who are actively working in the social justice space. In the essay "How Food Can Be a Platform for Activism," Shakirah Simley, co-founder and organizer of Nourish/Resist in San Francisco, talks about using food to discuss police brutality with her brother and the function that food has when it comes to activism. "In my work, we seek to nourish so that we may resist," she writes. In this way, it isn't just the food that is important, but the act of eating together that creates a platform where activism can happen.
In activism, and in food, there's also the question of who gets the mic and who gets to tell their story or share their ideas. In The Immigrant Cookbook the recipes are courtesy of chefs and writers from all over the world who have made America home. Well-known chefs like Daniel Boulud, José Andrés, and Nina Compton share recipes alongside chefs who are less known, but each one represents the story of a person or family coming to this country—and bringing their heritage and food ways with them.
Cultures and history come to the stove with us each time we cook, and every recipe in The Immigrant Cookbook is proof of that. Immigrants bring their food and recipes to this country and add to our shared American table. We may think of "American" food as apple pies and hot dogs and hamburgers, but these recipes, with their substitutions and roots in cuisines from other countries, are just as American. American food is a mixture of indigenous cuisine and food from other places adapted to incorporate American ingredients. Cooking these dishes is a way of embracing all of the "recipes that make America great," as the book says.
When I think about cooking at my stove, or going grocery shopping, I often think about the feeling that I want to have when I sit down to eat. Am I trying to make something healthy so I feel good? Am I trying to comfort myself? Am I trying to make my partner feel loved? Food and cooking tap into what we want to feel, and that's why they're the perfect way to create change. Everyone puts down their guard over a good meal, and in that space, change is possible.
In her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver wrote that "cooking is good citizenship. It's the only way to get serious about putting locally raised foods into your diet, which keeps farmlands healthy and grocery money in the neighborhood." I would expand that to say that cooking—and letting others in our communities cook for us—is how we become good citizens who engage with the communities around us. That connection is how we create change. That's why cooking is and will always be an act of resistance.

Board Appoints New Supervisor of Buildings & Grounds
At its October 15, 2019 meeting, the Westfield Board of Education approved the appointment of Sean McArthur as Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds for the Westfield Public School District, effective January 1, 2020. McArthur succeeds Michael Morris who will retire on December 31 after 25 years of service.
"Mr. McArthur has extensive experience in landscaping, facilities management, and maintenance," said Business Administrator Dana Sullivan. "We look forward to welcoming him to the district in January."
McArthur currently serves as Educational Facilities Manager in Lacey Township Public Schools where he supervises 57 custodial, maintenance and grounds personnel, maintains all buildings, grounds, and athletic fields, coordinates inclement weather responses, oversees on-demand projects and the repair and purchase of equipment and works closely with administration, architects, and engineers on larger projects.
Prior to working in Lacey Township, McArthur was facilities manager with the Aramark Corporation and operations foreman/budget manager in the East Brunswick School District.
"I really appreciate the opportunity to join this wonderful school district," McArthur told board members upon his approval, adding that he understands and takes very seriously the importance of the position.


R–Responsible-The buck stops here. Whoever is responsible needs to make sure that the process works as planned. The R owns the process/problem or project.
A–Accountable-This is the person who is delegated the task of completing the Activity. They support the person who owns the R.
C–Consult-This person usually have in depth knowledge of the process in question and all major decisions need signed off by this individual.
I–Inform-The people who need informed of activity taken, but not necessarily consulted.
Each individual who is involved in a process is either identified as an R, A, C, or I. No two individuals in one process should both have the R.
Identify the process in question completely. Start from a top down approach viewing the large picture and map out the process in enough detail to support your requirements. You may only need the top level processes, but in order to define or accomplish the task at hand defining the sub processes, tasks, or steps may be required. Each program is unique. List the process steps horizontally down the left hand side.
Identify the roles that will be impacted by the program/process, and those that will implement the program/process change and list these vertically across the top.
Each role will have an owner. You can list the person here if you want, but in order to make the process timeless you should list the role and assign the role to an individual.
No identify who has the R first and then complete the ownership of A, C, and I. Remember, no two people holds the R for a single process. The buck needs to stop somewhere….This is where the phrase who hold R comes from.
Review any gaps in the process, make sure only one R is in each process, make sure each process has an owner. Sometimes when you have arguments of who holds the R for any given process, the resolution usually resides in looking into the process further, maybe you need to explore the sub-processes, the roles, or the tasks associated with the process. Once you get to a point that only one person holds the R you have dove deep enough into the process.
One exception to multiple R's in one process may entail the difference between who is responsible for the Initiative, and who is responsible for the Process. This at first seems like the difference between the Responsible and the accountable party here, but with the correct boundaries set up this can be a powerful concept especially when considering the interaction of a Program Management Office PMO with a large organization. I have included this as an example in the RACI chart view. Be careful with this concept!
An example of a RACI chart for the top view of a sales process is shown to help visualize the RACI diagram. Note how colors are used in the matrix, this makes it easier for others to quickly understand the relationship of the process. An excel template you can use to start you next project, or process improvement initiative is attached here.
One very important step in any project or improvement initiative is the understanding and mapping of the underlying process that support the program being implemented or enhanced. Check back soon for an installment of defining and implementing a process map.
Logically A will be above in hierarchy then R, though for some objectives they could be the same person. Do you agree?
A–Accountable-This is the person who is delegated the task of completing the Activity. They support the person who owns the R".
I agree with Lucia Reyes. Another way to put it is to say the "R's" get the credit for the "A's" efforts. If the task isn't completed, the R's blame the A's. If the task is completed, the R's take the credit without mentioning the A's.
Basic management 101. We see it everyday.
So, our model is based on ACI – not RACI.
It works very well and eliminates deadweight management.
Both of your points are valid. I usually add the R to the person who I go to if something is not functioning as planned. Being responsible (holding the R) does not mean you are doing the work, and it is usually the person who is accountable (holding the A) who actually performs the tasks and implements the project.
As an example, if you were implementing a new CRM system, the R would be held by the executive sponsor or the president of sales and the A would be held by the program manager. I would work through strategic direction with the holder of the R and would get the work done with the person who hods the A.
I agree with both of your comments in the context they are written.
The order or authority is A > R > C > I.
The Accountable individual is where the buck stops and where decision making and veto power lies.
The Responsible individual or group actually do the work. Unlike Accountable, where there should only be one person, the implementation may be done by many. The work is delegated to them by the Accountable person.
Do NOT be confused by the ordering of the letters in RACI which is irrelevant, simply to make the acronym pronouncable as a mneumonic.
Did we decide on the order of authority and who does the work?
Yes I agree with Jeremy. Accountable is an individual is where the buck stops. Accoutable will have a group/team who is Resposible to execute the task.
On a larger perspect, Accountable decision driving the TASK is a key for success.
[ESWCMS-79] Determine who our EPA stakeholders are….
Holly, thank you for creating this. After doing a little reading into the RACI charts, I don't think its going to cover what we need. We need something that has some agile spice to it. I think if we can depict in our own way (which we sort have alre…..
Although everyone refers to the acronym as RACI when it was first created the order was ARCI which doesn't scan (or sound) so good in some countries.
Accountable is the person who has the 'A' and is the one whose head is on the block for getting the job completed.
and usually someone senior is Informed.
it is possible for the same person to be both accountable and responsible.


Come and explore the globally rare ecosystem in our midst! Between Herring Cove Road and Purcells Cove Road is a vast, wild area called The Backlands. Here lies the fascinating Jack Pine/Broom Crowberry ecosystem, which contains many specially adapted species that have evolved to withstand repeated fires. Our on field trip we will see several of these species in their fall glory, and will learn about the efforts by multiple groups to save this area.
Please send a quick email to Karen at ynchalifax at yncns dot com if you plan to attend. Meet at a patch of land about halfway along Mica Crescent that doesn't have a house on it… instead, it has a big lawn and an entrance to the Backlands (see map, or view in Google Maps with satelitte imagery on).


It's been 6 months since Microsoft released its latest OS to the public, and by now you've probably already seen tones of fact videos and articles. You know those lists that tell you how the Start menu is back, how you can switch between multiple desktops or how you can enable a hidden dark mode. And that's all nice and jolly, but this time, we're gonna do something different. Instead of telling you about things that you can find on your own, on your personal computer, I'm gonna take you just a bit deeper behind the scenes, and give you some of the stories surrounding the already famous Windows 10.
– Microsoft skipped Windows 9, and jumped from 8.1 to 10, so that legacy programs wouldn't confuse it with the two versions of the OS that contain the number 9 in their name – Windows 95 and 98.
– During a Microsoft Built conference, company employees wore a blue t-shirt with a Windows logo filled with binary code. The code had a secret message for those with the knowledge to crack it.
– The new and improved Start Menu that had it's comeback in Windows 10 was one of the most popular features of the new OS, but the man who practically invented it stated how it was actually disappointing.
– The default wallpaper for Windows 10 is called the Hero Desktop Image, and it was made entirely out of light!
– In January of 2016, Microsoft reported that Windows 10 was active on more than 200 million devices worldwide!
– Microsoft can literally listen to every sound you make, and see every key you type, thanks to Cortana and the ''Get to know me'' option.
– CNET: Is this why Microsoft named it Windows 10?

On this date in 1925, Nellie Tayloe Ross was sworn in as governor of Wyoming.
Here are some things you may not have known about the first woman to serve as governor in the United States.
Nellie Tayloe was born in St. Joseph, Missouri in 1876. She graduated from high school in Kansas and became a kindergarten teacher for four years. While visiting relatives in Tennessee, Tayloe met William Bradford Ross, a lawyer whom she married in 1902. Soon after, they moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where William became a leader in the state's Democratic Party.
In 1922, William Ross was elected governor, after running as a progressive. He served less than two years before dying of complications from an appendectomy. Nellie Ross was nominated to run to replace her husband in a special election the following month. She won easily, making history as the first female governor in the United States. She, like her husband, was a strong advocate for the prohibition of alcohol.
That support for prohibition, along with her refusal to campaign for herself, resulted in a narrow defeat in her 1926 reelection attempt. Ross remained active in the Democratic Party and received 31 votes for vice president at the party's 1928 convention. She then served as vice president of the Democratic National Committee.
In 1933, Ross was appointed director of the U.S. Mint. During her time at the Mint, she oversaw the design and release of the Franklin Half Dollar and the public sale of proof coins. She also oversaw the establishment of the U.S. Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
She served five terms as Mint director and retired in 1953.
In her retirement, Ross wrote for several women's magazines and traveled the world. When she died in 1977 at the age of 101, she was the oldest ex-governor in U.S. History.
Our question: Who holds the title of longest-lived former U.S. governor?
Today is unofficially National Bird Day and National Whipped Cream Day.
It's the birthday of actor Robert Duvall, who is 86; actress Diane Keaton, who is 71; and actor Bradley Cooper, who is 42.
This week in 1962, the top song in the U.S. was "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by The Tokens.
The No. 1 movie was "El Cid," while the novel "Franny and Zooey" by J.D. Salinger topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.
Now for our weekly question: What scientist and inventor was Thomas Edison's main rival in the War of Currents?
Submit your answer at triviapeople.com/test and we'll add the name of the person with the first correct answer to our winner's wall … at triviapeople.com. We'll reveal the correct answer on tomorrow's episode.

New Delhi: The partnership between Karma Healthcare, the Smile Foundation and DFAT aims to increase community awareness of health information and the availability of health options and reduce the financial barriers to accessing quality and affordable primary health care in Bhilwara district in Rajasthan. Underscoring the partnership will be an intense community outreach program including public awareness campaigns, grass roots mobilisation, and screening drives for anaemia, malnutrition, non-communicable diseases, and vector borne diseases.
According to the India National Family Health Survey, 56 per cent of the district's women of reproductive age are anaemic, 42.6 per cent of children under the age of five are underweight and 12.9 per cent suffer from acute malnutrition. While the district has both public and private health care facilities, there is a shortage of clinics with qualified doctors.
To provide quality primary health care, six clinics will be established in target communities comprising of five e-Doctor clinics, and one "Super-Spoke" clinic offering a wider range of diagnostic services. Qualified female nurses, who will assist patients with a real-time consultation with a qualified doctor over an audio-video link, will operate the clinic. The e-Doctor clinics will also have a mobile medical unit providing referrals from the e-Doctor clinics to the "Super Spoke" clinic. The clinics will provide services to all members of the community, with a specific focus on anaemia and malnutrition in women and their families. This partnership will deliver improved primary health care options to a catchment area of more than 225,000 people.
This partnership will leverage Karma Healthcare's existing technology platform with the Smile Foundation's experience in community engagement. Through its community education campaigns, the Smile Foundation will bring about a shift in health care seeking behavior and raise awareness of the services available at the new clinics. Karma Healthcare currently operates 22 e-Doctor clinics as well as diagnostic services and referral services to over three million people in Rajasthan and Haryana states. In addition to providing critical co-investment, improving health and gender equality outcomes is a goal that aligns with Australian priorities under the Australia–India health Memorandum of Understanding. It also aligns with Australia's India Economic Strategy, which identifies health as a priority sector.
Address an unmet need in preventive and curative health care in rural Rajasthan by utilising outreach services and nurse assisted e-Doctor clinics that are remotely supported by qualified physicians.
Improve health outcomes by enhancing the number of people seeking access to formal primary health care.
Contribute to scaling a business model that provides preventive and curative services in remote areas that can be ultimately self-sustaining.
By improving both their knowledge of and access to quality primary health care, communities in Bhilwara district will be better able to make informed decisions about their health and, with them, improved health outcomes. In demonstrating the commercial viability of Karma Healthcare's e-Doctor "Super-Spoke" model in Bhilwara district, this could be adopted elsewhere. Further, the intense community outreach accompanying this partnership aims to increase the number of people attending the clinics, therefore increasing the commercial viability of the clinics.
The intensive community mobilisation and social behavior change campaigns embedded in this partnership combined with the availability of nurse assisted e-Doctor clinics will jointly address both the awareness gap and the service delivery gap, expanding access to formal care, enabling early detection of disease, enhancing quality of care, and improving nutrition status in women and their families. By making health education and health care more accessible to women, they are better able to make informed choices about the care of their families. The initiative also provides employment opportunities to female nurses and Community Health Workers, all hired from the local community. The presence of female nurses and the availability of female e-Doctors and specialists is also an important factor in creating an atmosphere where women feel free to talk about their health concerns.
While women and children are identified as the primary beneficiaries of this initiative, the e-Doctor services and health outreach are available to all members of the community.
Established in 2014, Karma Healthcare provides medical services to under-served communities in India. The Smile Foundation is an Indian non-government organization directly benefitting over 600,000 children and their families through more than 250 projects spanning education, health care, livelihoods and women's empowerment.

Teaching Pacific Islander Art Past and Present With Pasifika Enriching Arts Of Utah (PEAU)
Posted on April 4, 2018 by comm3660
Story and photos by ADAM FONDREN
My heritage is who I am
It is where I come from
It is where I've learned
That I represent my aiga
And we represent Samoa
Oreta Tupola sits listening to a presentation on Pacific Island Knowledge 2 Action Resources (PIK2AR) at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
In this poem titled "My Heritage," Oreta Tupola, a Samoan artist and member of Pacific Island Knowledge 2 Action Resources (PIK2AR), writes of family (aiga means family in her native language) and standing up for her cultural preservation. For Tupola, this is representative of what being Samoan is and this is what Pacific Islander art is about: being a protector of the past and educator of the future through art.
Pasifika Enriching Arts of Utah (PEAU) is an organization that falls under the umbrella organization of PIK2AR and aims to do the very same thing: help the Utah Pacific Islander culture with its self-identity and provide outlets and options for self-improvement.
PEAU describes itself as "a Pacific Island community-based group of artists, creators, and patrons of the arts bridging across all art communities to preserve, perpetuate, empower, support, educate and promote artists and creators of Pacific Island descent and of ethnic and underserved communities, to increase income into households through the arts."
PEAU was founded in 2014 by Alisi Maka'afi, a visual artist of Tongan and Māori heritage. She has since moved back to New Zealand and has formed PEAU New Zealand. PEAU here in Utah has grown and changed slightly to become a large part of what PIK2AR does and how it does it. The organization has about 10 full-time members covering a range of arts from visual to dance and photography along with a number of rotating artists and contributors who contribute as their time allows.
PEAU introduces the cultural storytelling aspect of its goal by holding monthly artist and creator meetups where working artists team with aspiring artists to make art and discuss art. Annual exhibits are held at the Salt Lake County Libraries and at the Sorensen Unity Center. During the annual Utah Pacific Islander Meritage Month, PEAU holds an exhibit, and also take part in the annual People of the Pacific High School Conference (POP) held at Utah Valley University.
Bill Louis gives a presentation on street art at the People of the Pacific (POP) High School Conference at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
According to Bill Louis, a Tongan street artist and the public art coordinator for PEAU, the organization is open to all Pacific Islanders. But much of PEAU's efforts are directed toward underprivileged youth, leading to PEAU's involvement with POP. POP provides an opportunity for PEAU to share its message and introduce the organization to high school age youths.
At the 2018 POP Conference, held in February, several different types of Pacific Islander art were explored. Nephi Prime, a Māori, presented on the haka or Māori traditional war dance. Bill Louis, a Tongan street artist, presented on contemporary graffiti. And Havier Tuitama, a Samoan who hosts a radio program on KRCL, taught a class on traditional dance and spoken word.
PEAU's goal is to provide as many young Pacific Islanders as possible with an option in their life that they either haven't considered or haven't had the resources to explore. The resident artists and presenters from PEAU share the possibility of pursuing art as a career and not just a hobby. And members teach the continuation of the Pacific Islander narrative to remind youth of their place in the world and their ancestry.
The Pacific Islander history is rooted in exploration. Tupola spoke of how the early Pacific Islanders set out to explore the Pacific in small canoes. They couldn't bring much in the way of possessions. As such, much of their cultural heritage is preserved in art, songs, dances, spoken anthologies, tattoo, and in how their ships were decorated. Art preserves their history. So, ensuring that the tradition of storytelling through art continues to be passed down through generations is imperative to the preservation of their culture.
The largest reason to focus on Pacific Islander youth is they need PEAU more than most to help them escape preconceived notions and the western stigma of Pacific Islander culture. They need additional avenues and experiences in their lives.
"There is more than just football and music out there," said Louis, the Tongan street artist and PEAU Board member. Through his mentoring, he hopes to be able to influence youth and show that there is more out there, that art is a legitimate possibility in their future.
One of the main problems PEAU faces is a lack of a permanent space. Louis spoke of the efforts of PEAU to utilize everything from the Utah Museum of Fine Arts to county libraries to host exhibits and events. All of this costs money and much of the organization's financial resources are obtained either through government grants secured through PIK2AR or through the artists themselves.
"I fund my own materials if I need to pay for something for an exhibit," Louis said when asked about how he goes about getting studio space and materials for presentations.
PEAU has a goal and is working toward it. So far, it has been successful at finding and securing what it needs to continue. The aim is to continue to grow and expand the reach with more art, more shows and more mentoring. As Louis explained, PEAU's hope is to introduce not only Pacific Islander youth but all Pacific Islanders to their history and their future with art.

Q: Where to start reading The Batman? I've recently gotten into comic books and I'm interested in reading the Batman comics. I have no idea where to start. I've seen all of the live action Batman movies so I pretty much know origin stories already.
I'm not interested in Catwoman or Harley Quin, they annoy me.
I love the Riddler and Dr Crane though, and of course the Joker. What are some good recommendations for the comic book beginner in this series?

A: DC Comic's Essential Batman Reading List:
The catalogue DC Essential Graphic Novels 2016 recommends these "essential" Batman graphic novels (in order):

*

*Batman: Year One

*Batman: The Man Who Laughs

*Batman: The Long Halloween

*Batman: Dark Victory

*Batman: The Killing Joke

*Batman: A Death in the Family

*Batman: Knightfall

*Batman: Cataclysm

*Batman: No Man's Land

*Batman: Hush

*Batman: Under the Hood

*Batman: Batman and Son

*Batman: R.I.P

*Final Crisis

*Batman: Battle for the Cowl

*Batman and Robin: Batman Reborn

*Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne

*Batman: The Black Mirror

*Batman: Zero Year

*Batman: The Court of Owls

*Batman: The Night of the Owls

*Batman: Death of the Family

*Batman Eternal

*Batman: Endgame
They also present 25 graphic novels as being their overall most "culturally relevant." The ones that feature Batman as a major character and aren't on the above list are:

*

*The Dark Knight Returns

*Justice League Volume 1: Origin

*Superman/Batman Vol. 1

*Superman: Red Son

*Batman: Earth One

*Injustice: Gods Among Us  Vol. 1

A:
Despite this being sort of a subjective question I have provided a list of what I think of as the 10 Best & Essential Batman Collections to get started & caught up w/ the Legend of the Dark Knight. They feature, either important events in the life and legend of The Batman or important moments which sharpen the character for readers:

*

*Batman: Year One

*Batman: The Long Halloween

*Batman: Year Two - Fear the Reaper

*Batman: The Cult

*Batman: Black And White

*Batman: Ego and Other Tails

*Batman and the Monster Men

*Batman: The Killing Joke

*Batman & Robin: Batman Reborn

*Batman: The Court of the Owls/Night of the Owls

Here are an additional 5 More Collected Batman Stories that you may find fun and interesting, though be aware some stories listed here out of continuity or take place in a different world/future:

*

*Batman: Birth of the Demon

*Batman: Gotham by Gaslight

*Batman: Gothic

*Batman: Hush

*Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

Finally here are 5 Collected Side-Stories in the Batverse that you might also enjoy reading:

*

*Batman: Turning Points

*Batman & Huntress: A Cry for Blood

*Batman: A Lonely Place of Dying

*Robin: A Hero Reborn

*Nightwing: Love and Bullets

A: I'd add the Batman: Year Zero and Death of The Family story arcs as well. Also try A Death in the Family, and Under the (Red) Hood.

Title: Balancing Effort and Energy: The Role of Mindfulness, Intentionality & Self-Care
Speaker: Jina Etienne,CPA, CGMA, CDE®, Diversity & Inclusion Consultant, Speaker & Trainer, Etienne Consulting
Date/Time: February 9, 2023 | 11:00 am PT
Description: In the lens of Digital Transformation, being mindful of where you spend your energy is imperative. Technology can be an incredibly powerful tool to help us work more efficiently and effectively, but on the flip side it can be incredibly draining. Especially in the era of remote work, we need to be conscious of setting healthy boundaries and checking out so that we can check back in. Things to think about are setting work hours and sticking to them. Blocking your calendar for things like focus time and lunch breaks. When taking time off, make sure you set yourself up to actually step away from work—silence your notifications, and/or delete the apps from your phone. Be mindful of your mental capacity so that you don't burn yourself out.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
Understand the benefits of mindfulness in the workplace
Identify strategies to reduce stress, anxiety and burnout
Discuss importance of mental health and wellness at work
Learn how mindfulness is tied to intentionality

SCO OpenDesktop or OpenServer 3.0 and 5.0.
The lock may belong to a process on the local system or to a process on an NFS client system to which the local system is an NFS server. Notes: Linux and PTX 2.1.9 lslk don't report on locks held by NFS clients; Solaris lslk won't report locks held on local Veritas VxFS files.
In the absence of any options, lslk lists all locks associated with the local files of the system.
When selection options are specified, the listing of all locks is disabled, and the selection options are ORed together. Only locks meeting any selection criterion are listed.
When the -a option is specified, the listing of all locks is disabled, and the selection options are ANDed together. Only locks that meet all selection criteria are listed.
This option causes lslk to avoid kernel functions that might block - lstat(2), readlink(2), and stat(2).
This option selects the listing of locks whose owning process is on the Internet host whose name or network address is i.
Multiple addresses may be declared with multiple -i i options.
This option specifies k as an alternate to the default kernel name list file path. The default kernel name list file path is listed in the -h help output.
It may be necessary to specify an alternate kernel name list path when the file at the default path isn't the booted kernel -- e.g., the default is /vmunix, but the booted kernel file is /vmunix.new.
Unless lslk accesses the correct kernel name list file, it may derive incorrect addresses for symbols in kernel memory, causing it to fail.
This option inhibits the conversion of network host names to network addresses and the conversion of network addresses to network host names.
This option may be useful when the host name to address translation service (e.g., the Domain Name Server) is slow or inoperative.
If you use this option on hosts whose kernel lock table contains only host names - e.g., SCO or Solaris - or you use this option and also select the listing of locks by an Internet network address with the -i i option, lslk will not be able to locate any locks with the specified network address, nor will it be able to report network addresses in its output. The -n option inhibits the necessary conversion of kernel lock table host names to network addresses.
This option directs lslk to bypass the strategy it uses to avoid being blocked by some kernel operations - i.e., doing them in forked child processes. See the BLOCKS AND TIMEOUTS and AVOIDING KERNEL BLOCKS sections for more information on kernel operations that may block lslk.
This option selects the listing of locks whose owning process IDentification (PID) numbers are in the comma-separated list, p.
When this option is specified, lslk lists version information - i.e., where, when and how it was constructed.
This option suppresses non-fatal warning messages.
This option specifies a list of file path names for which lslk is to list lock information.
indicates the source of the process holding the lock.
If the source is a local process, its command name is displayed, or ``(unknown)'' if the command name can't be determined.
If the source is a remote process, the host name or network number where the remote process executes is displayed.
is the Process IDentification number of the process holding the lock.
is the device (major and minor numbers) on which the locked file resides.
is the inode number of the locked file.
is the size of the locked file.
is the mandatory state of the lock: 0 if none; 1 if set. (See chmod(1)).
is the relative byte offset of the lock.
is the starting offset (``whence'') of the lock.
is the ending offset of the lock.
is the length of the lock.
is the name of the locked file, if it was specified as a path argument.
If there is no path argument name, then the mount point and device paths of the file system on which the locked file resides are displayed.
Lslk can be blocked by some kernel functions that it uses - lstat(2), readlink(2), and stat(2). These functions are stalled in the kernel, for example, when the hosts where mounted NFS file systems reside become inaccessible.
Lslk attempts to break these blocks with timers and child processes, but the techniques are not wholly reliable. When lslk does manage to break a block, it will report the break with an error message. The messages may be suppressed with the -w option.
The default timeout value may be displayed with the -h option, and it may be changed with the -S [t] option. The minimum for t is two seconds, but you should avoid small values, since slow system responsiveness can cause short timeouts to expire unexpectedly and perhaps stop lslk before it can produce any output.
When lslk has to break a block during its access of mounted file system information, it normally continues, although with less information available to display about open files.
Lslk can also be directed to avoid the protection of timers and child processes when using the kernel functions that might block by specifying the -O option. While this will allow lslk to start up with less overhead, it exposes lslk completely to the kernel situations that might block it. Use this option cautiously.
You can use the -b option to tell lslk to avoid using kernel functions that would block. Some cautions apply.
First, using this option usually requires that your system supply alternate device numbers in place of the device numbers that lslk would normally obtain with the lstat(2) and stat(2) kernel functions. See the ALTERNATE DEVICE NUMBERS section for more information on alternate device numbers.
Second, you can't specify the names of files you want lslk to locate locks for unless they're file system names. This is because lslk needs to know the device and inode numbers of files listed with names in the lslk options, and the -b option prevents lslk from obtaining them. Moreover, since lslk only has device numbers for the file systems that have alternates, its ability to locate locks on file systems depends completely on the availability and accuracy of the alternates. If no alternates are available, or if they're incorrect, lslk won't be able to locate locks on the named file systems.
Third, if the names of your file system directories that lslk obtains from your system's mount table are symbolic links, lslk won't be able to resolve the links. This is because the -b option causes lslk to avoid the kernel readlink(2) function it uses to resolve symbolic links.
Finally, using the -b option causes lslk to issue warning messages when it needs to use the kernel functions that the -b option directs it to avoid. You can suppress these messages by specifying the -w option, but if you do, you won't see the alternate device numbers reported in the warning messages.
You can assist this process if your mount table is supported with an /etc/mtab or /etc/mnttab file that contains an options field by adding a ``dev=xxxx'' field for mount points that do not have one in their options strings.
Some dialects that do not use an ASCII /etc/mtab or /etc/mnttab file for the mount table may still provide an alternative device number in their internal mount tables. This includes AIX, DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, and Tru64 UNIX. Lslk knows how to obtain the alternative device number for these dialects and uses it when its attempt to lstat(2) or stat(2) the file system is blocked.
Lslk returns a one (1) if an error was detected or if it couldn't list lock information for all the names that were specified.
Lslk must have permission to access the system memory files - e.g., /dev/kmem and /dev/mem. Permission to do that is granted when the lslk process is run from a root shell, or when its ``setgid'' group matches the group (e.g., ``sys'') that can read the system memory files.
Perhaps it should be possible to specify the host on which a search target PID is located.
DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, and Tru64 UNIX lslk won't find locks applied with the flock(2) function. It will find locks applied with the fcntl(2) and lockf(3) functions.
Linux lslk will not report locks held by NFS clients. It may have difficulty reporting locks held on dynamic inodes (e.g., for the Win-95 file system type, smbfs).
Solaris lslk won't find locks held on local Veritas VxFS files by local or remote processes.
Lslk was written by Victor A. Abell <abe@purdue.edu> of the Purdue University Computing Center (PUCC).
Chris Eleveld <chris@sector7.com> did the DEC OSF/1, Digital UNIX, Linux, and Tru64 UNIX ports.
chmod(1), fcntl(2), fcntl(5), flock(3B), lockd(1M), lstat(2), lockf(3C), readlink(2), stat(2).

La famille des Butomacées est constituée de plantes monocotylédones. Le seul représentant est le jonc fleuri (Butomus umbellatus L.) dont les rhizomes sont comestibles, une fois cuits.

Ce sont des plantes herbacées, pérennes, rhizomateuses, aquatiques, des régions tempérées froides d'Europe et d'Asie.

Étymologie
Le nom du genre et de la famille dérive du bas latin butomos, -i qui est lui-même la transcription du mot grec βούτομος (de bous, « bœuf » et temno, « couper ») qui signifie littéralement, d'après Anatole Bailly, « qui coupe la langue des bœufs » en raison du caractère coupant des feuilles de ce jonc fleuri.

Saskatoon set for wave of high-end office space
Evan Duggan
Saskatoon's business tenants will soon have an opportunity to shift from aging office stock into an inventory flush with new high-end work spaces, as several new projects get underway in the mining office hub.

"We haven't seen major new office buildings built for quite some time," said Tom McClocklin, the president and managing director of Colliers International Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.
"There is potentially quite a supply of office coming to the Saskatoon market," he told RENX in a recent interview.
Related Story: Saskatoon apartment vacancy remains high, as rental rates fall
Construction is underway on the 12-storey East Tower at the River Landing mixed-use complex in the south downtown area, according to a summary of new office space by the firm. Leasing is well underway for the 155,000-square-foot facility, and a second, taller office tower is also under consideration for the site.
Meanwhile, the World Trade Center, led by Canwest Commercial and Land Corporation, has delayed development, but that 65,000-square-foot project could commence later this year, according to Colliers' 2017 fourth-quarter report.
The redevelopment of the former Saskatoon police building at 140 4th Avenue North has also started. Renamed the River Quarry on 4th, the 64,000-square-foot project by Duchuk Holdings could be ready for occupancy as early as September 2018.
New high-end space to "reshuffle" market
Those three projects would add 284,000 square feet to the city's office sector.
"That's a significant amount of space coming into a small market, " McClocklin said, noting the new space will almost certainly cause some reshuffling among tenants. "Most of the tenants are coming out of class-A buildings, but they're older-generation class-A buildings."
McClocklin said Colliers has the downtown class-A vacancy rate marked at six per cent, while the overall office vacancy rate could be closer to 15 per cent.
"In Saskatoon, the main office buildings were built in the 1980s," McClocklin said. "They have good location, but they're just getting close to 40 years old."
He said the developers believe tenants will want to relocate their businesses to new, state-of-the-art space with improved sustainability and better amenities.
Saskatoon remains a market dominated by mining and agricultural firms, McClocklin said.
Nutrien, Cameco and Saskatoon Co-op head offices
The city, with a metro population of just under 300,000, hosts the head offices of Nutrien (formerly Potash Corp. and Agrium); Cameco, one of the world's largest uranium producers; and Saskatoon Co-op, the grocery, petro and hardware retail co-op chain.
"When you look at mining, you have engineering firms that are a spinoff from that," McClocklin said.
He said the tech industry is also starting to emerge, and the city has the usual mix of professional services such as accounting, finance and legal firms.
So far, asking lease rates remain relatively stable according to ICR Commercial Real Estate's 2018 first-quarter report. It pegs the competitive downtown market at $20.25 per sq. ft.
Saskatoon's office vacancy remains high
Barry Stuart, ICR Commercial's managing partner, said the firm's Q1 report shows an office vacancy that is creeping up and will likely edge higher when the new inventory comes on stream.
"Right now, at the end of the first quarter of 2018, the competitive downtown (vacancy) rates are 17.6 per cent and the class-A (vacancy rate]) is really very close to that," said Stuart, whose team is marketing the River Quarry on 4th project.
The class-B and -C vacancy rates are "north of 20 per cent", he said.
Stuart said opinions are split over whether this is a good time for new office space.
"If you talk to the landlords who are experiencing the loss, they would say 'no'," he said. "If you talk to the developers who are developing these new buildings, they would say 'yes, there is a demand for it, because we're seeing that transition (from old to newer buildings)'."
He said it could take two or three years for the new space to be absorbed.
Growth depends on resource markets
While commodity prices remain low, there likely isn't much commercial growth in store for Saskatoon, Stuart said.
"The expansion that we did see in previous years was primarily from the engineering sector, with all the mine expansion that took place in this province," he said. "Those engineering firms have stopped growth and, in some cases, even contracted, and so that driver is no longer evident in our market."
McClocklin agreed. The market will have to wait to see what happens when prices for potash, oil and uranium rebound, he said.
"We really need to see those industries have a bit of a turnaround in their commodity prices," he said.
In the meantime, the new office stock will be welcomed by tenants eager for new space at competitive rates, he said.
"It's an opportunity for tenants to move into the right space for themselves."

One of the newer residences on the remote beach islands of the Maldives, Kandima set out to mark themselves different to the rest; not only do you have the obligatory private pools ocean access and Jacuzzis, but Kandima aims to have something for everyone. Whether you are a sports-lover, party-goer or indeed a couple with a family, there are a plethora of activities, which are quite frankly, hard to say no to.
Unmistakably Maldivian with its pure white sand, pale blue lagoon and lush vegetation of palm trees, jacaranda and bougainvillaea. The island is pristine, peaceful and secluded, the kind of seclusion that one only dreams of having. To reach Kandima from Male International Airport, it takes 40 mins by seaplane, or if guests are taking the domestic flight option, it takes 30 mins to reach Dhaalu Domestic Airport followed by a 15 min boat ride to reach Kandima. Part in parcel of the charm of these phenomenal Islands.
The feel is contemporary cool; unlike most other Maldivian resorts it does not get hung up on luxury or exclusivity. Most guests come here to play, have a good time and generally engage rather than close the doors and retreat.
Studio rooms are functional but make the Maldives experience affordable. Ocean villas are on the wilder coast and offer greater luxury and privacy – as well as a view of the sunsets. There are a couple of honeymoon suites and several over-water villas. The best for families are the pool villas, which have direct access to the beach.
With 10 restaurants and bars, you can be sure that a long vacation will not incur any food boredom. The Oriental Sea Dragon will offer entertaining meals, while there are cafes and ice cream parlours for the daytime, not to mention the 20 counter buffet breakfast in the mornings.
The pool, beach bars and restaurants are located centrally, with the beach villas off to the south and the studios to the north. The beach stretches all along the eastern coast giving access to shallow waters. The public areas are all bright pink cushions, white walls and loud music from the bars.
Smart, playful, rooted and responsible, Kandima Maldives is a place with soul. It is all about genuine hospitality with a human touch and innovative solutions that make use of the latest technology. Whether you seek relaxation, both aquatic and island adventures, wellbeing, fitness or just family time, this resort has something for you. With the longest outdoor pool in the Maldives, football pitch, tennis and basketball courts, water sports and dive centre, an art studio and many more, there is plenty to keep everyone occupied.
Eggciting Easter - Join the team at Kandima Maldives for a fun-filled line-up for families, friends, couples and solo travellers. Enjoy a blend of festive cuisine, stylish drinks and playful entertainment; experience the spring season in style, the Kandima way.
Valid on stays from 10/04/19 until 10/05/19. Minimum 3 night stay.


Beauty comes with a price and it is usually monetary price that you pay! Sometimes with cosmetic shopping while sometimes visiting a salon or spa to get some beauty services done!
Well, with so many beauty related launches right from skin care, hair care, styling makeup and body grooming it is practically avoidable if one can make sure to get all these things done at the comfort of their place. Well, one thing is for sure that with more and more people being conscious about beauty the status of beauty salons has evolved from being a general to being a specialized and seeks a targeted clientele to provide its services!
Recently, many of you must have seen some online beauty appointment services being offered to clients. It is where a team of beauty experts can make a visit to the particular client. And give the required services at their own place of comfort which is to be briefed in advance!
But yes there are some pros and some cons for each and we will get to have a look at both of the aspects!
If you are a full time mom and have not been to a salon just because there is no one who can take care of your little one while you are away for 2-3 hours, then this service is probably the best you could have asked. Getting the pampering done at your place without constantly worrying about your baby! How convenient!
Even expecting women can avail these services as later in the last trimester they don't feel like travelling or sitting at the same place for long hours!
If you are a working woman and constantly juggle between your responsibilities at home or at office so whenever you get a little time, you just want to relax. Leaving all the worries about visiting the salon and getting stuck in traffic, get a home appointment.
This specially comes easy at times of festivals when there is so much rush in salons. Also you feel that the salon expert is not able to devote the full time to you. It is hectic due to the large number of woman turning up in the salon. While at home you are exclusively heard and given the services! It saves a lot of time which might just go in waiting for long hours for your turn!
Usually if you have to be somewhere for a party and and your favorite salon is at a long distance, so you can ideally call up the salon. And arrange for an at-home beauty treatment. It will avoid the rush and traffic while coming from the salon and you can easily go all decked up from your place!
Sometimes, it happens that the location of the client's place is such that a lot of time of the beauty experts gets wasted in searching for the address. It is not cool!
A salon is perfectly designed with proper lights and necessary equipment to ensure quick and efficient delivery of beauty services. And sometimes it is just not convenient for the beauty experts when they visit a client's place!
If you are calling the salon experts at home make sure that you have the least disturbance. Avoid unnecessary distractions at your place so that they can peacefully do their job with least interruptions!
Even if you don't admit but a messy surrounding is surely the least they beauty experts are expecting at home and although they do not expect your place to be salon-like but at least it should be organized so that they can easily perform the job!
If you calling for makeup services at home and at the end of it you don't happen to like the look then it is not their fault because they tried to perform well in whatever light sources you had at your place, a salon makeup would certainly have been much easier to blame, in case it didn't turn out that good!
