Basic Teddy Boy rock 'n' roll, influenced by the British greats such as The Flying Saucers and Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers. The Foggy Mountain Rockers have been around for quite some time, and each and every bandmember (six in all) are great musicians with a long time experience, and that you can hear on this excellent CD release "Dressed In Black". 18 tracks, almost an hour's worth of boppin' rockabilly and poundin' rock 'n' roll. 14 songs are self-penned originals, and that alone is worth a recommendation. Good lyrics too, both Teddy Boy songs (Teddyboy Bop, Teddyboy Rocker) and stories from the far west, like the awesome "Johnny's Legend". The rocking version of Gershwin's all time classic "Summertime" is a treat for your ears, and if you like this album as much as I do, also check out their 1999 King Ed CD release "Angel Heart". Records, memorabilia and the Teddy Boy Weekender video are available from the Foggy Mountain Rockers' website. Don't forget to read Kai Steffens' biography.

How soon can an employer claim frustration of contract?
Question: If the physician of an employee on long-term disability leave provides a note saying the employee is unlikely to ever be able to come back to work, can the employer terminate due to frustration immediately or is there a period of time it should wait?
Answer: It has long been recognized that an employee's permanent disability can terminate an employment contract where the disability can "put an end, in [the] business sense, to [the parties'] business engagement" and thus to "frustrate the object of that engagement," as stated by the Supreme Court of Canada in Marks v. Dartmouth Ferry Commission.
The guidelines determining whether the disability is permanent were set out in Marshall v. Harland & Wolff Ltd. That case describes the inquiry as requiring a determination whether the employee's incapacity, looked at before the purported dismissal, was of such a nature or appeared likely to continue for such a period that future performance of his obligations would either be impossible or would be radically different from previous performance and accepted by the employer under the agreed terms of his employment.

GSIS secures ISO seal
MANILA, Philippines — State-run Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) recently secured a certification from the International Organization for Standardization for meeting the international standards on the quality management system (QMS) of its major processes.
In a statement, GSIS president and general manager Jesus Clint Aranas said the state fund was conferred an ISO 9001:2015 certification for its QMS on loans processing, membership administration, maturity claims processing, motor vehicle claims processing and related critical support processes.
"Public servants deserve world-class service whenever they transact at our office. I am very fortunate because the men and women of GSIS have always imbibed the heart for excellence. Mediocrity has no place in government," Aranas said.
GSIS' quality management system for loans and maturity claims processing covers the application up to the release of proceeds to the borrower or claimant.
For motor vehicle claims, it covers the process starting from the application to the issuance of letter of authority.
In terms of membership administration, the QMS begins from the creation to the updating of all active members' and pensioners' records.
Aranas said the GSIS also aims to secure an ISO certification for other loan processing systems.
"We are now poised to expand the scope of our ISO certification to include our funeral benefit claims processing and marketing of non-life insurance processes. We are also eyeing the Information Security Management System certification for membership," Aranas said.
GSIS was conferred its first certification under the ISO 9001:2008 for loans processing in 2015.
The following year, GSIS received the updated version, ISO 9001:2015, for loans processing and expanded its scope to include membership administration.
GSIS is a social insurance institution that provides insurance and loan products to government workers.
In 2017, the GSIS reported a net income of P94.7 billion, 69 percent higher than the P56.1 billion it booked the previous year. This was driven by the fund's income from financial assets.

Does the Learning Curve During Laparoscopic Colectomy Adversely Affect Costs?
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the learning curve during laparoscopic colectomy (LC) is associated with increased costs when compared with the procedure after the learning curve has been achieved.
Methods: Direct costs for patients undergoing LC during the learning curve (Group A) and after the attainment of proficiency by two colorectal surgeons performing the procedure (Group B) between 2001 and 2007 were compared. Learning curve was defined as the first 40 LC cases for each surgeon. Distribution of cases for the surgeons ensured that costs differences were not influenced by lead time bias of cases performed during the learning curve.
Results: There were 80 Grp A and 74 Grp B patients. Age (57.6 ±15.5 vs.58 ±15.8 yrs, p=0.72), gender (female, n=42, 52.5% vs. n=35, 47.3%, p=0.52), ASA score (p=0.76), body mass index (27.2 ±4.96 vs. 28.4±6.3, p=0.3), diagnosis (p=0.88), previous abdominal surgery (n=19, 48.7% vs. n=10, 27.8%, p=0.07) and comorbidity (p= 0.44) were similar for groups A and B. Performance of anastomosis or resection (p= 0.17, p=0.58, respectively), conversion to open surgery (n=17, 21.2% vs. n=18, 24.3%, p=0.65), postoperative morbidity (p=0.73), readmission (n=6, 7.5% vs. n=12, 16.2%, p=0.1), and reoperation rate (n=1, 1.2% vs. n=2, 2.7%, p=0.61) were similar. Operation time was significantly longer for group A (Group A, 172.84 ± 62.86 vs. Group B, 146.27 ± 39.22, p=0.013). Total direct costs (p=0.7) and operating room (p= 0.58), nursing (p= 0.72), pharmacy (p=0.95), radiology (p=0.98), and professional (p=0.051) costs were however similar between groups.
Conclusions: As expected, the learning curve period during LC is associated with prolonged operating time. Concerns pertaining to increased conversions, complications or direct costs during this period are not substantiated.

02002-02029 (27 years): By 2029 no computer - or &machine intelligence& - will have passed the Turing Test. - Long Bets - StumbleUpon The Significance of the Turing Test. The implicit, and in my view brilliant, insight in Turing's eponymous test is the ability of written human language to represent human-level thinking. The basis of the Turing test is that if the human Turing test judge is competent, then an entity requires human-level intelligence in order to pass the test. To the extent that the "AI" chooses to reveal its "history" during the interview with the Turing Test judge (note that none of the contestants are required to reveal their histories), the AI will need to use a fictional human history because "it" will not be in a position to be honest about its origins as a machine intelligence and pass the test. There are many contemporary examples of computers passing "narrow" forms of the Turing test, that is, demonstrating human-level intelligence in specific domains. It is also important to note that once a computer does achieve a human level of intelligence, it will necessarily soar past it.
Eliezer S. Yudkowsky Rationality Over the last several decades, science has developed a new picture of how we succeed or fail to seek true beliefs and achieve our goals. The heuristics and biases program in cognitive psychology has exposed dozens of major flaws in human reasoning, and along with them, insight into the mental processes that produce these flaws. Bayesian probability theory and decision theory have been used in increasingly powerful statistical methods and machine learning algorithms; I believe that they also provide a lens through which to view everyday life. Evolutionary psychology and social psychology are also telling us new and disturbing things about human nature – can we, now knowing, do any better? The vast bulk of my writings on rationality are contained on the Less Wrong community blog – follow the link to see some of my recommended posts.
Singularity The term "Singularity" had a much narrower meaning back when the Machine Intelligence Research Institute was founded. Since then the term has acquired all sorts of unsavory connotations. The kind of Singularity I work on has little to do with Moore's Law. So forget the word; here's the issue: Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. The famous statistician I. If you offered Gandhi a pill that made him want to kill people, he would refuse to take it, because he knows that then he would kill people, and the current Gandhi doesn't want to kill people. My mid-range long-term research program is to work out a formal theory of such matters – describe how a mind would modify itself deterministically and precisely, including modifications to the part of itself that does the modifying. A good deal of the material I have ever produced – specifically, everything dated 2002 or earlier – I now consider completely obsolete.

Prophets and Prophecies Prophets and Prophecies Talismans | Kabbalah | Amulets How Lock Picking Works" Most people carry five to 10 keys with them whenever they go out. On your key ring you might have several keys for the house, one or two more for the car and a few for the office or a friend's house. Your key ring is a clear demonstration of just how ubiquitous lock technology is: You probably interact with locks dozens of times every week. The main reason we use locks everywhere is that they provide us with a sense of security. In this article, we'll look at the very real practice of lock picking, exploring the fascinating technology of locks and keys in the process.  Locksmiths define lock-picking as the manipulation of a lock's components to open a lock without a key. Locks come in all shapes and sizes, with many innovative design variations. For most of us, the most familiar lock is the standard dead-bolt lock you might find on a front door. A deadbolt lock's only job is to make it simple for someone with a key to move the bolt but difficult for someone without a key to move it.

Monkeypox: Dr Anthony Fauci says outbreak needs to be taken more seriously as virus continues to spread
"It's something that we absolutely have to take seriously. We don't yet know the scope and the potential of it, but we have to act as if it has the ability to spread much wider than it does now. ", Dr. Anthony Fauci told CNN on Saturday.
Former US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) commissioner Dr Scott Gottlieb has warned that it may be too late to control and contain the virus.
"I think the window to take control of this and contain it has probably closed. If it hasn't closed, it's definitely starting to close," Gottlieb told CBS's Margaret Brennan Sunday on "Face." the Nation".
Monkeypox has been detected in most of the United States except for a handful of states, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The states with the most cases are New York, California, Illinois and Florida.
The latest data shows the CDC has tracked at least 1,814 probable or confirmed cases in the United States as of Friday, and a total of 12,556 confirmed cases in 68 countries.
Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden, told CNN's Laura Coates that the numbers are "most likely understated."
"Any time you have the emergence of something like this, you're still probably looking at what could be – could be, we don't know – the tip of the iceberg, so that's why we have to get testing it there much, much more vigorously," Fauci said on Saturday.
Gottlieb echoed the need for testing on Sunday.
"We're probably only detecting a fraction of the actual cases because we've had, for a long time, a very narrow case definition of who's been tested and overall we're searching the community for men who have sex with men and in STD clinics. So we're looking there, we're finding cases there, but it's a fact that there are cases outside of that community right now. We don't have them. not take because we are not looking there.
On Friday, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said there were eight cases of monkeypox diagnosed in females at birth and no cases were reported in children or teenagers.
Gottlieb told Brennan that he thinks monkeypox "has spread more widely in the community" and that he wouldn't be surprised if there were "thousands of cases right now."
"Now it's firmly entrenched in the community. And even if it's not going to explode because it's harder for this virus to spread, it's probably going to be persistent. You'll have that as a kind of fact of the life, maybe spread like a sexually transmitted disease, but also get out of those circles," he said.
The former FDA commissioner compared the response to the monkeypox virus with the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, saying the US is making "a lot of the same mistakes", citing a lack of early testing and not enough vaccines distributed to the community.
"We could have controlled that if we had been more aggressive up front," Gottlieb said.
The CDC is working with five commercial labs to expand testing capacity, and the US Department of Health and Human Services said Friday that testing capacity had increased from 6,000 to 70,000 tests per week.
Gottlieb also criticized the CDC for its response to the virus.
"The White House stepped in to gain more control over the CDC's response. It can't be our response every time, that when the CDC drops the ball, the White House and political leaders have to step in," said Gottlieb. "That's what happened here, it happened to Covid. We need to fundamentally reform the way we respond to these crises."
CNN contacted the CDC for comment, but did not immediately respond.
Monkeypox is a pox virus related to smallpox and cowpox. The virus typically causes sores resembling pimples or blisters and flu-like symptoms such as fever, the CDC explained.
The lesions are usually concentrated on the arms and legs, but in the latest outbreak they appear more frequently on the genital and perianal area, which has raised some concerns. Monkeypox lesions can be mistaken for a sexually transmitted disease.
The virus spreads through close contact – including direct physical contact with lesions as well as "respiratory secretions" shared through face-to-face interaction. Touching objects contaminated with monkeypox lesions or fluids can also risk the spread.
And while monkeypox isn't an STD, it's mostly spread among men who have sex with men.
On Saturday, Fauci said he expects up to 700,000 vaccines to be distributed to communities by the end of July.
"Because you want to protect people at risk, not only people who might have been exposed to their knowledge, but also people, because they are in a risk situation, that they need to get vaccinated," a he noted.
The United States has more than tripled its doses of the monkeypox vaccine since last week, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services. But the supply remains insufficient to help control the spread.
CNN's Virginia Langmaid and Deidre McPhillips contributed to this report.

Laura Yanne '76, English
Going Steer Crazy
Bucknell Stories
Faculty StoriesStudent StoriesAlumni Stories
You can come pretty close to your dream if you want it with every fiber of your being. It's a long slog, but if you don't lose sight of it, it's there. For now, life is sweet ... and good.
Laura Yanne '76 waxes about Rupert and Robin, the steers she rescued, as if they're Grecian statues. She describes their "refined features, impressive, majestic stance and sculpturing of their faces. They're beautiful."
Yanne had befriended the nearly two-ton Rupert when he lived on a farm near her. He grew too large to interact with people and was taken to the slaughterhouse. Yanne found out almost too late.
"I was sobbing and pleading," Yanne says of her race to save him. Rupert's owner eventually turned over both steers to her — a move that has both grounded and freed her.
Born in Massachusetts, Yanne moved to Wales when she was 10 — a "pivotal" time in her life. "I read Charlotte's Web and was excited there could be communication and interaction in nonhuman society, but it was unsettling," she says. After seeing lambs she'd observed playing in a field transported to the slaughterhouse, Yanne says she "turned vegetarian and understood what animals would mean to me for the rest of my life."
After graduating with a Bucknell English degree, Yanne worked with animal rights organizations. She loved the cause, but prefers it without organizational restraint.
Having moved to bucolic Vermont, Yanne is now a freelance writer who also works at a farm stand. Inspired by English Professor Jack Wheatcroft '49, she's writing two books, including her story of life with her steers. And she's still campaigning on animals' behalf.
Since 2008, when Rupert and Robin became her responsibility, she has undertaken the monumental task of relocating them nine times when their housing fell through. As if by karmic fate, they landed in a field adjacent to her apartment. Although she worries about the uncertainty of their shared future, she delights in their care.
"You can come pretty close to your dream if you want it with every fiber of your being," she observes. "It's a long slog, but if you don't lose sight of it, it's there. For now, life is sweet ... and good."

Ultrasound helps predict ovarian cancer risk
By Kate Madden Yee, AuntMinnie.com staff writer
November 12, 2018 -- Ultrasound can help characterize ovarian masses -- specifically simple cysts versus complex ones -- which can then help physicians predict a woman's risk of ovarian cancer and avoid unnecessary surveillance, according to a study published online November 12 in JAMA Internal Medicine.
The study findings could help women avoid ongoing follow-up of simple cysts, which can prompt unnecessary biopsies and specialty referrals, wrote a team led by Dr. Rebecca Smith-Bindman of the University of California, San Francisco.
"Historically, surgical exploration and resection of all identified ovarian masses represented the standard of care, and as many as 5% to 10% of women have undergone a surgical procedure for a suspected ovarian [mass]; most of these procedures did not diagnose cancer," the authors wrote.
Increased use of transvaginal pelvic ultrasound has led to the identification of more ovarian masses, and the standard of care has been to biopsy them. But most ovarian masses are benign, Smith-Bindman's team noted. So the group explored whether ovarian cancer risk could be quantified with ultrasound according to the characteristics of the masses.
"We sought to identify features predicting with a high level of certainty that an ovarian mass is benign and thus does not require surveillance," they wrote.
The study included 72,093 women who underwent pelvic ultrasound between January 1997 and December 2008. The team analyzed the data in April 2017. Out of the total study cohort, 210 women were diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Forty-nine of these women were younger than 50, and 161 were 50 years or older.
The most common finding in women with ovarian cancer was a complex cystic mass, identified in 63.3% of those younger than 50 and in 55.9% of those 50 and older. In fact, having a complex cystic mass increased by eightfold the likelihood of cancer in women across both age groups, the researchers wrote.
"Women with complex cysts or solid masses have elevated relative risk of ovarian cancer, whereas women with simple cysts have low relative risk of ovarian cancer," the authors wrote.
Clinicians have justified the surveillance of simple cysts because ovarian cancer has a high mortality rate and tends to present as a cystic disease on ultrasound, Smith-Bindman and colleagues noted. But while surveillance may not seem harmful, it can trigger unnecessary imaging, false-positive results, overdiagnosis, and unnecessary surgery, the authors wrote.
"Given the high prevalence of simple cysts, their lack of association with ovarian cancer, and no elevated risk compared with women with normal ovaries, incidental and asymptomatic simple cysts should be considered normal and frequent findings in women of any age and ignored," they concluded.

Q: Internet Explorer won't display font icon using @font-face I am having trouble getting a font to load properly in IE (IE9).  Works fine in Chrome.
You can see the issue by looking at this Fiddle.  In IE9 a box is displayed, while in Chrome a star is displayed.
I am using the FontAwesome package found here.  I think the problem lies in the @font-face declaration at the top of the .css file (shown below).  Can someone see why IE wouldn't render this font?
@font-face {
  font-family: 'FontAwesome';
  src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
  src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
     url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
     url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
     url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svgz#FontAwesomeRegular') format('svg'),
     url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesomeRegular') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

A: Figured out the issue.  I had IE9 in compatibility mode.  When I turned that off, the font started to appear.

A: In the jsfiddle, you are not setting font-family for any element, you are using italics (i element) but your @font-face specifies normal font only, and the jsfiddle does not demonstrate the issue because @font-face is missing (and would not work there, as the URLs are relative).
Moreover, your jsfiddle tries to style generated content, not normal content. The character used is a Private Use character (U+F060), and such characters are not supposed to be transmitted and used except by private agreements.
It is best to isolate the problem in the simplest case possible, to eliminate the effects of other issues (such as problems with generated content).

Q: Wildcarded search with "*" and "?" in search:search not working properly We need to achieve the wildcarded searches with both the characters "*" and "?" as described in
https://docs.marklogic.com/10.0/guide/search-dev/wildcard
Wildcard Characters
Marklogic Server supports two wildcard characters: * and ?.

*

*matches zero or more non-space characters.
? matches exactly one non-space character.
For example, he* will match any word starting with he, such as he, her, help, hello, helicopter, and so on. On the other hand, he? will only match three-letter words starting with he, such as hem, hen, and so on.

But we do the search as below,
let $options := <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
                  <constraint name="DocumentTitle">
                    <word type="xs:string" facet="false">
                      <element ns="http://marklogic.com/nondeliverable" name="DocumentTitle"/>
                      <search:term-option>wildcarded</search:term-option>,
                       <search:term-option>case-insensitive</search:term-option>,
                       <search:term-option>diacritic-insensitive</search:term-option>,
                       <search:term-option>unstemmed</search:term-option>
                    </word>
                  </constraint>
                  <return-query>true</return-query>
                  <return-qtext>true</return-qtext>
                  <return-metrics>true</return-metrics>
                </options>

return (search:search("(DocumentTitle:(medi*ation))",$options,1,10),search:search("(DocumentTitle:(medi?ation))",$options,1,10))

Both the search queries are returning same count. But if we do the search
cts:search(fn:doc(),cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("nd:DocumentTitle"),"medi?ation",("wildcarded"))),cts:search(fn:doc(),cts:element-word-query(xs:QName("nd:DocumentTitle"),"medi*ation",("wildcarded")))

the count are different and returning the proper result.
How we can achieve wildcarded searches with both the characters "*" and "?" in search:search with proper result.

A: cts:search runs filtered by default, while search:search runs unfiltered by default. Pass in filtered as option to cts:search, and see if that returns the same results as search:search.
Alternatively, you can also provide a search-option to make search:search behave filtered:
<search-option>filtered</search-option>

Filtering is slow by the way, and ideally you should choose index settings that make filtering unnecessary. Check if you have enabled wildcard settings.
HTH!


The launch of the Carte Bleue was one of the banking sector's greatest innovations in the past decades. The card, created in 1967, had many hurdles to cross before it became established in France. BNP Paribas took part in this adventure right from the start, with great conviction. And conviction was certainly needed.
The French Carte Bleue originated from an inspiration. It was sparked off by the Chase Manhattan Bank which developed the credit card system at the end of the 1950s. French commercial banks took an interest in this concept and in 1965 started to collaborate to issue a payment card. After two years of study and reflection, the Carte Bleue was introduced by 5 leading banks: Banque Nationale de Paris (BNP), Crédit Lyonnais, Société Générale, Crédit Commercial de France and Crédit Industriel et Commercial. The group adopted a logo made up of two letters "CB" which was created by the illustrator Chourgnoz. The colour blue was chosen because it conjured up celestial immensity. It also alluded to the shirts worn by French rugby players at international matches. Indeed, it was a French epic that started in 1967!
At this time, the French authorities wanted France to make up for lost time in terms of information technologies. This meant promoting French style IT. For all that, storekeepers greeted the carte bleue with suspicion. During the first year, only 12,000 of them adopted this mode of payment. Banks took a commission on each transaction and this was viewed very badly. The CB was very slow to develop. In 1970, 40,000 storekeepers had adopted it and there were 400,000 cardholders in France. With the creation of automated teller machines (ATMs) in 1968, first working with dedicaded and prepaid cards, it gradually became part of French peoples' everyday lives. From 1971, ATMs were designed for magnectic stripe payment cards. Shopkeepers were essential allies in the development of the card so sales teams at card-issuing banks set about convincing them. Secure payment was underlined. On 1 April 1974, an international carte bleue was launched in addition to the national system. It allowed people to pay for their purchases and withdraw money abroad.
To reinforce the position of the blue card, an inter-banking system was necessary. Because at the end of the 1970s, there were three different cards in France: the Carte Bleue, the Carte Verte issued by Crédit Agricole and the Intercarte issued by the Banques Populaires Group. But the stores' systems were not compatible because storekeepers were only connected to one of them. In 1984, after intense negotiations, the Banques Populaires and then Crédit Agricole joined the Groupement Carte Bleue. In the process, the card acquired a green colour, mixed in with the blue. A domestic card payment system (SNPC) was set up. This was a world first. Henceforth, it was possible for all the different card holders to make payments and withdraw money wherever they wished. The CB continued to develop and in 2003, it became the first means of payment in France. The smart card was adopted in 1985, reinforcing security. It was not until 2015 that its use become widespread in the USA.

No proof of innocence, W K Hastings
Posted on March 1, 2013 by NZ Books
Trial by Ambush: The Prosecutions of David Bain
Joe Karam
HarperCollins, $45.00,
I am reasonably new to the criminal justice system, having been appointed a judge in 2010, and seem to be one of the few people in the New Zealand legal system to have had nothing to do with this case. This is not to say that I, like everyone else, have no curiosity about what happened on the morning of 20 June 1994. I, like everyone else, was not there, and can only piece together what happened from the information made available to us. This book collects together a lot of that information, and invites, or rather leads, readers to an inevitable conclusion. I hasten to add that the information presented is unashamedly from the defence perspective. The blurb on the back cover leaves no one in doubt: "This compelling new book explores . . . why it took 12 years to right this dreadful wrong", and claims that who committed the murders "will be put to rest once and for all".
It was certainly daring of the editors of New Zealand Books to ask a sitting judge to review this book, and many would say foolhardy of a sitting judge to agree, which is why this is less a book review than a series of musings on our criminal justice system, and why it occasionally produces such causes célèbres.
I am not reviewing the book to assess the truth of its contents. Suffice to say it musters a lot of detail in order to convince the jury of the New Zealand public that David Bain is innocent. There is so much detail, in fact, that a reader could be forgiven for occasionally losing sight of the forest. That the purpose of the book is to establish innocence emphasises, I think, one of the fundamental reasons our criminal justice system occasionally produces cases such as this, resulting in campaigns and books about "dreadful wrongs": the criminal justice system is not designed to prove innocence.
Some blame the "presumption of innocence" for members of the public and much of the media believing that a verdict of "not guilty" means factual innocence. Ideally it will coincide with factual innocence, but what it actually means is that the judge or the jury has come to a decision that the prosecution has not rebutted the presumption of innocence by proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt. The flipside of that coin is that legal guilt does not always coincide with factual guilt, which is what the author of this book believes happened in R v Bain.
The theory underpinning the presumption of innocence is that it forces the prosecution to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, thereby setting a high evidentiary bar. This is meant to protect the innocent from wrongful conviction and reflect what may or may no longer be a widely held consensus: that it is better that 10 guilty people walk free than one innocent person be convicted of a crime he or she did not commit. Society, apparently, used to tolerate all these guilty people walking around, having got away with murder (or more likely something less dramatic) as the price we, in a democracy, were willing to pay for our freedom.
Lately, this consensus has been eroded by political discourse and lobby groups calling for a tougher stand on crime, and by media constructions of simplistic good-versus-bad narratives. The appeal of such cases to the media is that they can be spun into a rip-roaring David-versus-Goliath tale of good conquering evil, and the underdog overcoming injustice. Who can forget the news reporter punching her fist into the air when the jury came back with its verdict in Bain's second trial, or John Campbell beaming at the prospect of interviewing Bain as a free man? The erosion happens at both ends of the debate, though, and in a contradictory fashion: tougher stands on crime generally require the removal of rights that are considered to safeguard the presumption of innocence, thereby creating at the same time greater opportunity for so-called Bainesque miscarriages of justice to occur and be spun by the media.
All of this tends to mask an inquiry into whether there is something about the presumption of innocence itself that contributes to the creation of these causes célèbres. Certainly the advent of DNA testing in the United States has revealed that there are far more factually innocent people who have been convicted in the criminal justice system than most members of the public would feel comfortable with. We may have been unduly optimistic in thinking that 11 guilty people on the street meant that only one innocent person was in jail. Misunderstanding of the role that the presumption of innocence plays in the criminal justice system may be to blame.
There is a theory floating about. The presumption of innocence imposes a burden (putting the word "heavy" before "burden" is both unnecessary and indicative of apparent partiality – burdens are by definition heavy) on the prosecution to gather evidence to satisfy a judge or jury that a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden is obviously less able to be discharged by the gathering of evidence that tends to prove innocence, and anyway, surely that should be the job of the defence. However, because it is up to the prosecution to prove its case, the defence is possibly more passive than it ought to be, with the result that evidence of innocence is less likely to be collected by either side. This opens the way for others to take up the cause, but the cause will only be taken up after a guilty verdict has been produced.
Against this are safeguards built into the system. Evidence gathered by the police is checked by the prosecution before it is brought to court. Once produced in court, its reliability can be tested by defence counsel. And of course, there is nothing preventing the defence producing its own evidence of innocence the reliability of which can be tested by the prosecution. Nothing except, of course, cost, and the need to believe that in a democracy we have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that the prosecution must prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and that judges and juries are the only people on earth who never make mistakes.
Criminal appeals do not determine innocence or guilt. They determine only if convictions are "safe" by hearing argument on the soundness of the process by which legal guilt was determined. This may be thought to be an inadequate safeguard if the presumption of innocence itself, and erosions of that presumption, create unintended consequences.
In New Zealand, the provision of legal aid and the creation of the Public Defence Service address to a greater or lesser extent the potential of injustices produced by cost. As a result of campaigns to free the Birmingham Six, the Criminal Cases Review Commission was created in the UK in 1997. It independently reviews claims of wrongful conviction on the basis of new evidence or new science that a jury did not know about, or new legal argument not put to the trial or appellate judges, and it refers appropriate cases to the Court of Appeal. As the Bain compensation case continues to occupy the media, with other cases such as Peter Ellis, David Tamihere and Scott Watson popping up every now and then to claim some of the alleged wrongful conviction limelight, the creation of such a Commission in New Zealand could well be an idea whose time has come.
Regardless of what view one has of the substance of Karam's book, its silver lining is that it has kept discourse about how our criminal justice system affects individuals in the public eye. That can only be a good thing.

Q: Angular 2 with vanilla Javascript - Pass data into input from HTML I'm trying to write a component using Angular 2 with vanilla Javascript, I want to use this component on a regular HTML page, and I want to be able to pass data into this component to customize it.
This is what I have so far:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>

        <meta charset="UTF-8">

        <process-code id="processId" name="processName"></process-code>

process-code.js
"use strict";

(function(){

    var ProcessCode = ng.core.Component({

        selector:'process-code',
        templateUrl: 'process-code.html',
        inputs: ['id', 'name']

    }).Class({

        constructor: function(){
            this.processCode = null;
            this.id = null;
            this.name = null;
        }

    })

    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
        ng.platformBrowserDynamic.bootstrap(ProcessCode);
    });

})();

process-code.html
Process
<input [id]="id" [name]="name" [(ngModel)]="codigoProcesso">

This is how the component is being rendered:
<process-code id="processId" name="processName">Process
    <input id="null" name="null" class="ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid">
</process-code>

I was expecting the id and name attributes of the input to contain the values specified on the index.html page, but apparently they're not being initialized.
I would like to know what I'm missing.

A: Change
<process-code id="processId" name="processName">Process
    <input id="null" name="null" class="ng-untouched ng-pristine ng-valid">
</process-code>

to
<process-code [id]="processId" [name]="processName">
</process-code>

id and name should be local variables to the parent component.

Zduny – część miasta Zduńska Wola w Polsce, w województwie łódzkim, w powiecie zduńskowolskim. Rozpościera się w okolicy ulicy Porębskiej, w zachodniej części miasta.

Historia

Zduny to dawna wieś, należąca w latach 1867–1954 do gminy Zduńska Wola w powiecie sieradzkim. W Królestwie Polskim przynależała do guberni kaliskiej, a w okresie międzywojennym do woj. łódzkiego. Tam, 19 listopada 1933 utworzyły gromadę Zduny w granicach gminy Zduńska Wola, składającą się z samej wsi Zduny.

Podczas II wojny światowej włączony do III Rzeszy. Po wojnie ponownie w powiecie sieradzkim w woj. łódzkim. W związku z reorganizacją administracji wiejskiej jesienią 1954 Zduny włączono do Zduńskiej Woli 4 października 1954.

Cost of new fee regime may soon exceed the old
Hitting RAB charge 'threshold' will make £9,000 system more costly than old

Additional problems: rising estimates of student loan subsidies are blamed by some for cuts to the teaching budgets
The government "will not have saved any money" by trebling fees to £9,000 and scrapping nearly all direct grants to universities, a senior sector figure has said in response to data showing the "break-even point" for the new system could be rapidly approaching.
London Economics, which carried out research for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills for the 2011 White Paper, last week published a report calculating the point at which the rising estimated cost of subsidising student loans will make the £9,000 system more expensive than the old.
Rising estimates of student loan subsidies are seen by some observers as a contributing factor to government funding cuts in other parts of the 2014-15 higher education budget, unveiled by the Higher Education Funding Council for England last week.
The bulk of loan money lent to students does not affect the budget deficit. But London Economics notes that the resource accounting and budgeting (RAB) charge – the estimated portion of loans that will never be repaid by graduates – does constitute expenditure.
London Economics, whose latest analysis builds on previous research carried out for the Million+ group of newer universities, says that "if the estimated RAB charge (ie, if the proportion of the fee and maintenance loans never recovered) increases beyond 48.6 per cent, the economic cost of the 2012-13 higher education reforms will exceed the 2010-11 system that it replaced".
David Willetts, the universities and science minister, told MPs on the Commons BIS committee in January that the RAB estimate on new loans would be revised upwards from its current 40 per cent – the latest in a series of upward revisions from the government's original 28 per cent.
Pam Tatlow, chief executive of Million+, said: "If these assessments are correct, and bearing in mind there is some modelling in BIS that the RAB charge is much higher than 40 per cent, it will mean that all the upheaval in higher education finance and funding will not have saved any money in the long term."
Andrew McGettigan, author of The Great University Gamble, said: "The [government's] original claim was that around £1 billion per annum would be saved by moving to the new regime and that such savings were required to meet the austerity agenda…Has the upheaval been justified if there is minimal saving?"
Asked for a comment on the London Economics report, a BIS spokeswoman quoted comments made by Mr Willetts to the select committee, which she said represented the department's latest position.
Mr Willetts said: "I do not want to speculate on the future RAB. I am levelling with the committee. This process whereby every few months the RAB charge goes up because of a new earnings forecast is almost inherent in the system when you have been in a recession and have had low earnings. I do not think the process of revising the RAB charge is suddenly going to stop."
Bahram Bekhradnia, president of the Higher Education Policy Institute, said that current BIS modelling on future graduate repayments is "still based on an assumption that the average earnings growth will be spread equally among all earners. That flies in the face of all the evidence."
Correcting the modelling, as the department is set to do, "adds another 4-5 per cent to the RAB" on top of the current 40 per cent, he continued. Then the RAB "gets very close to the break-even point at which, if students were paying just £3,000 a year under the previous regime instead of £9,000, it would cost the government no more money", Mr Bekhradnia said.
But Emran Mian, director of the Social Market Foundation who was the lead civil servant on the 2010 Browne Review which ushered in the new loans system, said: "If…we're able to keep growing as an economy and in high-value areas where there are lots of well-paid graduate jobs then the RAB charge will come down in future, below the current level."
Hefce told universities last week that "most teaching budgets" would be cut by almost 6 per cent next year, which Mr Bekhradnia said was "one consequence of the increasing cost of the loans".
Million+ said the most important aspect of the cuts is to do with the provision of extra student places, as the government moves towards abolishing student number controls without extra core funding. If there are 30,000 extra students as forecast and with no inflation proofing of fees, the cut in funding for 2014-15 will equate to 9 per cent, it argues.

De mosorberghagedis (Dinarolacerta mosorensis) is een middelgrote hagedis uit de familie echte hagedissen (Lacertidae).

Naam en indeling
De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort werd voor het eerst voorgesteld door Juro Kolombatović in 1886. Oorspronkelijk werd de wetenschappelijke naam Lacerta mosorensis gebruikt.
De soort werd eerder tot de geslachten Lacerta en het niet meer erkende geslacht Archeolacerta gerekend, waardoor de literatuur niet altijd eenduidig is over de wetenschappelijke naam.

Uiterlijke kenmerken
De mosorberghagedis heeft een wat 'uitgerekt' lichaam; de voor- en achterpoten staan relatief ver van elkaar. Ook heeft deze soort een wat langere nek en spitse kop waardoor het dier op een foto enigszins doet denken aan een miniatuurversie van een varaan, maar met een lengte van ongeveer twintig centimeter is er in de praktijk geen verwarring.

De lichaamskleur is olijfgroen tot bruin of bruingrijs met kleine donkere vlekjes op de rug. Mannetjes zijn iets forser dan de vrouwtjes en hebben wat grovere vlekjes. In de paartijd is de buik van het mannetje blauw en de keel en onderzijde van de voorpoten is geel tot oranje van kleur.

Levenswijze
Het is een snelle soort die ook wel klimt, maar vooral op de bodem actief is. Op het menu staan insecten en de larven en andere kleine ongewervelden. De vrouwtjes zetten eieren af, er wordt een enkel legsel geproduceerd dat bestaat uit vier tot acht eieren. Deze komen na ongeveer zes weken uit waarbij de juvenielen tevoorschijn komen. Deze zijn al vijf centimeter lang en direct erg snel.

Verspreiding en habitat
De hagedis komt voor in het zuidoosten van Europa en leeft in gebergten in het middengedeelte van de Adriatische kust, van de Kroatische stad Split tot de Servisch-Albanese grens in de landen Albanië, Bosnië en Herzegovina, Kroatië en Montenegro.

De hagedis komt voor in zeer vochtige en schaduwrijke gebieden in kalksteengebergten op vaak enige honderden meters boven de zeespiegel, meestal tussen 600 en 1500 meter.

Beschermingsstatus
Door de internationale natuurbeschermingsorganisatie IUCN is de beschermingsstatus 'kwetsbaar' toegewezen (Vulnerable of VU).

Bronvermelding

Echte hagedissen
Dier uit het Palearctisch gebied
IUCN-status kwetsbaar

Carl Anthony Williams (13 October 1970 – 19 April 2010) was an Australian convicted murderer and drug trafficker from Melbourne, Victoria. He was the central figure in the Melbourne gangland killings as well as their final victim.
He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 35 years for ordering the murders of three people and conspiracy to murder a fourth (which was unsuccessful). On 19 April 2010, while incarcerated at HM Prison Barwon, Williams was beaten to death with the stem of an exercise bike by another inmate, Matthew Charles Johnson.
Williams enlisted the help of others willing to perform the contract killings in exchange for large payments of cash. At the time of his death, he was in the maximum-security Acacia unit of HM Prison Barwon near Geelong. Williams would have been 71 before he was eligible for parole.
Williams attended Broadmeadows Technical School, leaving in Year 11. Williams spent much of his childhood in Western Melbourne with his friends and older brother Shane who died of a heroin overdose in 1997. He was married to convicted drug trafficker Roberta Mercieca (born 23 March 1969), with whom he had one daughter, Dhakota Williams born 10 March 2001. Williams held various labouring jobs before opening a children's clothing store in partnership with his wife, which eventually failed.
On 25 November 1999, Williams, along with his father George and another associate, were arrested and charged with drug trafficking after a raid on an illegal drug factory at a Fir Close unit in Broadmeadows. In excess of 25,000 amphetamine tablets were seized by police, estimated to be worth up to A$20 million.
Williams, who described himself as a semi-professional gambler, was banned from the Crown Casino on 2 April 2004 by police commissioner Christine Nixon under the Casino Control Act. Williams's mother Barbara Williams was found dead in her Melbourne home on 22 November 2008, having overdosed on unspecified drugs in an act of suicide. She had been suffering from depression.

On 13 October 1999, Williams was shot in the abdomen by Jason Moran because he owed the Moran family $80,000. This event sparked a lengthy underworld war known popularly as the Melbourne gangland killings. In 2002, after meeting through a mutual friend, Tony Mokbel, Williams courted the services of the murderer Andrew Veniamin as his right-hand man until late 2004.
Mark Moran

Mark Moran was shot on 15 June 2000 after arriving at his home in Aberfeldie. Williams was due to stand trial for his murder, but the charge was dropped when he pleaded guilty to other murders.
Jason Moran
Main article: Jason Moran (criminal)
On the Saturday morning of 21 June 2003, Jason Moran and a colleague, Pasquale Barbaro, were fatally shot in the parking lot of the Cross Keys Hotel in Strathmore, Melbourne, where Moran and Barbaro had brought five children to attend an Auskick football clinic.
The clinic had just finished, and many adults and children were standing around. Moran and Barbaro sat in the front seats of Moran's minivan—with the five young children sitting in the rear—a gunman approached and fired both a shotgun and a handgun into the vehicle. Both men died at the scene. Three years earlier, a shotgun and a handgun had been used to gun down Moran's half-brother Mark. Two of the children in the minivan were Moran's, and all were age 7 or under.
The gunman—nicknamed "The Runner" before he was identified as Victor Brincat—later told police that Carl Williams was the person who paid him to kill Moran and Barbaro, and that Williams had paid him less than the $100,000 fee he was originally promised. Williams later pleaded guilty to the murder of Jason Moran.
Mark Mallia
Mark Mallia was an associate of murdered underworld criminal, Nik Radev. At 8:05 a.m. on 18 August 2003 a fire was reported in a stormwater drain in Sunshine. Fire brigade members attending to the fire recovered a wheelie bin containing the remains of a charred body inside, later identified as Mallia.
Michael Marshall
Marshall was shot outside his luxury South Yarra home in front of his five-year-old son on 25 October 2003.
Lewis Moran
Main article: Lewis Moran
Lewis Moran was fatally shot in the inner-city Brunswick Club on 31 March 2004. Williams pleaded guilty to his murder.
Arrest and confession
On 28 February 2007, Williams pleaded guilty in the Supreme Court of Victoria to the murders of Lewis Moran, his son Jason Moran, and Mark Mallia (whose name was initially suppressed by the court).
Williams also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder gangland rival Mario Condello. A suppression order prevented the media from reporting this until the day of sentencing. Under a deal with police, Williams was not charged for his alleged involvement in orchestrating the murder of Mark Moran, Jason Moran's half-brother.
It was also revealed that Williams was serving a sentence of 21 years for the 2003 murder of Michael Marshall. The outcome of this trial had previously been suppressed.

School fees revelation
On 19 April 2010 News Limited newspapers including the Herald Sun revealed that Victoria Police were paying $8,000 in school fees for Williams's daughter. The reason for the payment was not revealed at the time. Later, during the 2011 murder trial, it was revealed Williams had turned informant and had struck a deal with Assistant Commissioner Simon Overland. Williams gave information on several unsolved murder cases believed to have involved corrupt officers and it was also revealed his murderer may have been implicated in at least one of those cases. Williams's lawyer Rob Stary said Williams was upset about the publication of the story.
There was speculation that the police may have agreed to pay the school fees in exchange for information and that publication of the story may have led to Williams's death. The Herald Sun defended its publication of the story.
On 19 April 2010, Williams died from a head injury while incarcerated at Barwon Prison. He was struck with part of an exercise bike by another inmate, Matthew Charles Johnson, who was convicted of the murder, and sentenced in December 2011 to 32 years in jail.
Williams's funeral was held on 30 April 2010 at St Therese's Catholic Church in Essendon. He was buried in a golden coffin. In January 2011 it was reported that Williams's resting place consisted of a nameless plot, without a headstone.
The circumstances of his death were investigated by the Victorian Ombudsman. A report critical of Corrections Victoria (for approving Williams to share a cell with Johnson) was released in April 2012. Two months later in June 2012, the Department of Justice Secretary Penny Armytage resigned and earlier in May the Corrections Victoria Commissioner Bob Hastings had resigned.
Williams was portrayed by Gyton Grantley in the 2008 Australian television series Underbelly, based on the events surrounding the Melbourne gangland wars from 1995 up to his arrest in 2004. In 2014 Grantley reprised the role in Fat Tony & Co., and again in 2020 in Informer 3838.


If you've been going au natural makeup-wise all summer, get ready to amp up your look with some major colors and shine. Fall 2018 beauty trends are all about the bold and the beaming, with the exception of one very pared-down outlier. Bring on the palettes and bring on the shimmer.
Fall beauty is so great for the fact that it ushers in deeper and darker hues, namely on the lips and the eyes. But this year, seasonal beauty trends are also prolonging the bright and paintbox-esque colors that we all love to wear in the summer. Gone are the days when flamingo pinks and violet purples were relegated to warm weather — the rainbow has officially become seasonless. Glitter, too, is becoming normalized to wear on the daily year-round (it's no longer reserved for only parties and festivals) but in new and even bolder ways. Of course, a few trends that will forever be timeless are back and more powerful than ever, and one trend is, paradoxically, about a super natural look. Scroll down to check them each out in full and to get majorly inspired for your autumnal look. Will plum lips and the perfect cat eye be bumped from their long standing reign? Only time will tell.
Super bright eyeshadows in bold saturations and chunky shapes absolutely ruled the fall runways and were reminiscent of the vivid hues and graphic color blocking that defined the '80s. From the lime green lids at Marni to the pink and purple lid/liner combo at Anna Sui, to the exaggerated candy-colored cat eyes at Prada, the ways in which the rainbow was applied were as creative as they were cool.
Stripped back, healthy, and super glowy skin — this is the natural beauty trend I was talking about. Forget about blushes, bronzers and caked on makeup. This fall, it's all about a nourished complexion with backup from moisturizers, primers, and strobe creams. Roksanda, Lanvin, Christopher Kane, Michael Kors, and Balmain all opted for the less-is-more look when it came to skin, which hopefully signifies the beauty industry's shift towards embracing the natural, whatever it might look like.
The red power pout will never die. This year, Rochas, Alexander McQueen, and Erdem proved the staying power of fiery lips. Brandon Maxwell put his own spin on the look by swiping the cupid's bow with a touch of gold.
You don't have to wait until New Year's Eve to bring out your most dazzling beauty look. Thanks to designers including Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, and Giambattista Valli, glitter is now encouraged 24/7, 365. At Kate Spade, gems sparsely dotted lids for an especially ethereal yet simultaneously subtle shine. I want to wear the look post-7 p.m. every night.
Super grungy, thick, and imperfect black eyeliner and shadow was another classic favorite look, as championed this season by Miu Miu, Ashley Williams, Dior, Alice & Olivia, and more. This trend is so bold and versatile, and can be made as extreme or relatively subtle as you'd like based on how thick you apply the liner and how smudgy you make it. If you want to go extra glam, consider applying some silver or gold sparkle-flecked liner as a topcoat.
