Bazén v Plzni na Slovanech má dlouhou historii a stále patří mezi nejnavštěvovanější plavecké areály na Plzeňsku. Bazén Slovany patří do majetku města Plzně a jeho provozovatelem je Plavecký klub Slávia VŠ Plzeň. Současně se dá využívat krytý i venkovní bazén, tobogán a další vodní atrakce, sauna nebo parní komora.

Výstavba bazénu
Budování plaveckého areálu probíhalo v letech 1978–1985. Budovu navrhl tým projektantů v čele s Ing. arch. Pavlem Němečkem, CSc. Zázemí plaveckého bazénu tvoří tři podlaží. Roku 1986 se návštěvníkům otevřel krytý bazén a v roce 1987 byl dostavěn venkovní plavecký bazén.

Před rekonstrukcí v roce 2020 se objekt plaveckého bazénu sestával ze tři podlaží. Vstupní bazénová haly s pokladnou v nejvyšším patře, bočního vchodu a dámských šaten v patře prostředním a ve spodním patře byly pánské šatny, finská sauna a strojovna technologií. Dětský bazén byl umístěn v nynějších společných šatnách se sprchami.

Další úpravy
V následujících letech probíhaly další, ale už ne tak výrazné úpravy areálu bazénu. Vybudován byl například bezbariérový přístup u vchodu do budovy a k venkovnímu bazénu, vyměněny byly vzduchotechnické jednotky, pořízena moderní úpravna vody, vyměněny cirkulační čerpadla a ocelové filtry, zrekonstruována byla střecha, sauna, parní lázně a další.

Rekonstrukce zázemí bazénů
Po rekonstrukci na konci roku 2020 byl zaveden čipový systém kdy vstup řídí turnikety a skřínky šaten se otevírají čipem. Šatny jsou společné a jsou v nich převlékací boxy. Tudíž vchod, bazén a šatny jsou ve společném prostředním patře. Horní vchod byl zrušen a pokladna přesunuta do prostředního patra. Dvě parní sauny se nachází v prostředním patře hned vedle velkého bazénu. Finská sauna je v podzemním podlaží a jsou k ní extra turnikety, protože se platí zvlášť. Dětský bazén je nyní umístěn na opačné straně objektu, kde kvůli němu byla postavena nová budova. Podoba rekonstrukce je dobře zachycena na videu

Vodní atrakce
Plavecký areál na Slovanech byl jedním z prvních v České republice, který se mohl pyšnit spirálovou skluzavkou. Její dosavadní umístění uvnitř haly nebylo vyhovující, jelikož zabíralo příliš prostoru. V roce 2000 byla proto zahájena rekonstrukce, ze které vzešel 80 metrů dlouhý tobogán. Jeho konstrukce byla tentokrát řešena ve vnější části haly. Z hlavní bazénové haly tobogán nyní neubírá žádný prostor, i schodiště k tobogánu je řešeno vnější přístavbou.

V roce 2001 byly postaveny další vodní atrakce u bazénu. Nově vznikl relaxační bazén, dvě kruhové vířivky, dětské brouzdaliště nebo "divoká řeka".

Bazén pro profesionální plavce i pro veřejnost
Plavecký areál na Slovanech je hojně navštěvován rodinami s dětmi, ale konají se zde i různé plavecké závody. Součástí bazénové haly je tribuna až pro 450 návštěvníků. Ročně navštíví bazén okolo 500 tisíc návštěvníků.

Guilt by trade association
As my last column noted, we are in the most consequential climate policy battle in history, and large pro-climate companies are mostly MIA.
Big companies made loud pro-climate noises during Earth Month, and have fallen silent as Congress considers moving forward on $555 billion in climate investments after the demise of the much larger Build Back Better Act. Why the disconnect between companies' green rhetoric and their inaction in the policy arena? A big part of the answer lies in their continued ties to trade associations mostly opposing pro-climate bills — although that may be changing.
It's important to start by looking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, as it's the largest and most influential trade association in the United States. In a March policy brief, the research organization InfluenceMap reviewed the chamber's supposed repositioning on climate policy, and found that it was largely a public relations move. "The organization remains a significant blockage to climate policy, most notably leading the charge against the Build Back Better Act and its climate provisions 2021-2022," researchers wrote in their analysis.
The chamber's lobbying efforts against climate policy progress are at cross-purposes with the stance of many of their prominent corporate members. But so far, among 20 large pro-climate companies ClimateVoice scored on Build Back Better positions, only Salesforce has publicly distanced itself from the chamber on this issue. InfluenceMap found that the chamber's anti-climate stance is "set against a growing trend among the U.S. Chamber's membership, who have been communicating to their stakeholders on efforts to reform the U.S. Chamber's approach to climate policy from the inside." However, the result of these efforts has been little more than "placating" and "PR," according to InfluenceMap.
So, if the chamber isn't aligned with their pro-climate member companies, what's behind its policy focus on blocking climate legislation? The answer should surprise no one. As a member-driven organization, the chamber relies largely on member contributions to fund its activities. A report from the Bridge Project found that the fossil fuel industry was among the chamber's largest funders, including Chevron (contributing $2 million from 2011 to 2014), ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips. The chamber is a well-heeled powerhouse that has spent $1.6 billion in lobbying over the past 21 years, far more than any other business organization.
While the chamber has remained deeply intransigent (despite its PR shifts) on climate policy, another trade association has begun to make a shift in the right direction. The Business Roundtable (BRT), a CEO-led group with strong influence on Capitol Hill, is actually listening and responding to pressure from pro-climate companies, according to Protocol. It recently reported that Microsoft and General Motors, two companies publicly on record in support of the climate provisions of the Build Back Better Act, have also pushed that position in "closed-door talks" with the BRT.
Any climate bill that emerges from the current discussion on Capitol Hill will have to run the gauntlet of potential trade association opposition, covert or overt.
That said, it's important to keep in mind what a powerful barrier to climate policy progress the biggest trade associations remain. Any climate bill that emerges from the current discussion on Capitol Hill will have to run the gauntlet of potential trade association opposition, covert or overt. That's why, in a recent letter to the CEOs of major companies that have endorsed the House-passed climate provisions, climatologist Michael Mann and I called on them to "distance your company from trade associations that have opposed federal climate policy progress."
The negative role of trade associations has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement more broadly, as more people wake up to their power and influence. The grassroots group Change the Chamber rallies youth and advocates to put pressure on the group to move away from its anti-climate policies, calling the chamber the "largest dark money, pro-fossil fuel group in the United States." Dozens of groups have joined Change the Chamber's coalition, and they drive their message through letters, social media campaigns and other organizing efforts.
It's vitally important to keep the trade association role in climate policy exactly where the associations and their members don't want it — in the spotlight. A recent IPE article put the hypocrisy squarely: "As long as industry associations are allowed to lobby against sustainability-related policies, companies will be able to publicly commit to sustainability goals while others pursue their short-term interests."
Driving a deep wedge between the trade associations and their pro-climate members is an essential part of a winning strategy on climate policy. In our work, we've seen that the more employees know about the influence of trade associations on their company's stance on climate policy, the more concerned they become. They don't want an anonymous, influential force dictating where their CEO or other top leaders stand on what they see as the most urgent existential crisis of our time. Working with Rumie, the "byte learning" initiative, ClimateVoice has developed a new educational explainer on this topic.
Pro-climate companies claim they're not responsible for what their big trade associations are doing. But it's important to remember that trade associations are made up of — and represent — their members. So when they're leveraging their members' funding and reputations to benefit a few to the detriment of most of us, it's the responsibility of members who disagree to stop them, not throw up their hands and claim powerlessness.
The trade association issue is central to solving the climate policy challenge. Companies must tackle this issue, or we'll keep hitting a roadblock we can't get around.

An illusion of equality within gender
The varieties of naturalism differ primarily according to their explanation of how matter relates to mind. Manual and test booklet.
Education has been a priority for those seeking equal gender treatment. The authors define sex categorization as "the sociocognitive process by which we label another as male or female.
ERA, said Schlafly, would undermine marriage and the family while erasing male and female differences. A problem with role theory is that it is fairly static and does not provide a good understanding of potential effects of evolution in roles but sees gender roles as leader roles as relatively stable and incapable of change.
Our differences work together in a beautiful symbiotic way, and feminism, for whatever reason, is essentially destroying that. Why or Why not?
Coming from this lovely tumblr 1. The third question faces anyone who makes any decisions at all, and even not deciding is itself a decision.
In the end, Schlafly and her supporters successfully clouded the difference between equal legal rights for women and treating males and females the same in all areas of American life.
Many of these consequences are rooted in discrimination based on sexual orientation. Skepticism is belief that is always subject to doubt and justified through objective verification. It was disseminated in the media worldwide, and soon entered the vernacular. Draw what conclusions you will, I guess?
Supreme Court began to apply the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to sex discrimination cases. Why in the world would I wanna interact with that, when I can hole up and lose myself in a game? Aggregated to the national level, this would lead to mistaken perceptions of equality within the specific country.
The values perspective, by itself or in combination with other perspectives, can also be applied to understanding and exploiting the potential inherent in gender diversity for more efficient organizational behavior.
However, it may be analyzed in terms of biology—a girl must pass puberty to become a woman—and sociology, as a great deal of mature relating in social contexts is learned rather than instinctive. For example, The life expectancy of African-Americans in the US is about the same as that of people living in China and some states of India, despite the fact that the US is far richer than the other two countries.
Europe was found to be generally more egalitarian than other continents.
In the section on the theoretical perspective of managerial cognition, we saw one example of how homosocial reproduction and subsequent lack of gender diversity can lead to less efficient decision-making processes: Meaning is the context-sensitive connotation ultimately established by relevant denotation and use.
Countries like Russia have been seen as having an oligarchical structure. An event is itself a change and time is no more than an ordering of these changes.

If you cover your hand with Crisco oil then submerge it in ice water, what do you learn? Pieter B. Coeymans Universal Pre-K students got their hands dirty, to answer this question. What they found out – this experiment shows how animals with blubber can survive frigid temperatures.
Students were happily engaged in various science experiments that showed how different animals survive during the winter. Jennifer Fiske-Jaskolka, a Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Middle School teacher and UPK mom, planned the tests for the students to teach about hibernation, migration and adaptation. The class also glued cotton balls above a bear cave, counted animals on a math sheet and were given a take-home book, Where do animals sleep in the Winter?


What's beef? According to Eve, her and fellow rapper Lil' Kim didn't necessarily start out on the best foot.
It's no secret that ever since rapper and actress Eve joined daytime talk show 'The Talk,' (replacing former host Aisha Tyler), the show has definitely spiced up in terms of Hollywood inside scoop and hip-pop culture news. Not only did Eve give her two-cents on Nicki Minaj's racy "Minaj-a-Trois' Paper magazine cover, but the married star has also offered positive advice on all things love, marriage and life.
Eve went on to describe what was, essentially, a brush off-esque reaction from Kim. Luckily, however, Eve did say that they became really good friends later on, and even went on to offer an explanation for Kim's initial standoffish ways.
Eve went on to even say that the two later bonded over their "dogs," amongst other things, and have since remained really good friends.
Kim even went on to take a friendly jab that the hosts of 'The Talk,' must have a little more than just tea in their mugs.
Glad to see Kimmy has a sense of humor. And glad to see her and Eve are still great friends. Rap beefs are so 2017!

FinCEN Proposes Reporting of Cross-Border Electronic Transmittals of Funds
On September 30, 2010, the United States Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) published in the Federal Register its long-awaited notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would require certain banks and money transmitters to report to FinCEN transmittal orders associated with certain cross-border electronic transmittals of funds (CBETFs). 75 Fed. Reg. 60,377 (Sept. 30, 2010). The NPRM also requires an annual filing with FinCEN by all banks of a list of accounts numbers where an account was credited or debited to originate or receive a CBETF and of the accountholders' taxpayer identification numbers (TINs).
FinCEN issued this proposal pursuant to Section 6302 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), which amended the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) to require the Secretary of the Treasury to issue regulations "requiring such financial institutions as the Secretary determines to be appropriate to report to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network certain cross-border electronic transmittals of funds, if the Secretary determines that reporting of such transmittals is reasonably necessary to conduct the efforts of the Secretary against money laundering and terrorist financing." 31 U.S.C. 5318(n). In response, FinCEN issued an extensive report on the feasibility of the proposal in early 2007, Feasibility of a Cross Border Electronic Funds Transfer System under the Bank Secrecy Act (Oct. 2006), and continued to work on refining a specific regulatory proposal.
The idea of requiring the reporting of CBETFs was not new in 2004. Similar requirements had been in place in Canada and Australia for many years, and the idea has been discussed over the years within the U.S. government. The BSA always included adequate authority to require this reporting if Treasury could support the case that the cost of imposing the requirement was justified by the law enforcement utility. The IRTPA sets the standard to justify the proposal as that the information must be "reasonably necessary" to combat terrorist financing and money laundering.
The NPRM applies to financial institutions in the United States that are either the first U.S. financial institution to receive an incoming reportable CBETF or the last U.S. financial institution to process an outgoing CBETF. Bank-to-bank, non-third party transactions and transfers between branches of a single bank using a proprietary system would be exempt from reporting. For banks, there is no threshold on the amount of a CBETF that must be reported to FinCEN. For money transmitters, CBETFs of $1,000 or more must be reported to FinCEN (the level when many money transmitters voluntarily require more detailed information about senders and receivers). For transactions of $3,000 or more, money transmitters also must include the TIN, if available.
Banks and money transmitters and certain other financial institutions currently are required under the BSA to maintain records relating to domestic and foreign funds transfers. These records would be available to the Government in response to legal process, but they are not reported routinely to the Government. Under the NPRM, these banks and money transmitters would be required for the first time to report international funds transfers routinely to the Government. There is concern about how the Government is going to maintain and review such a massive amount of information and the cost and technical issues surrounding the submission of the information. There also is concern whether FinCEN is adequately using all the information that currently is being reported under the BSA, including the annual reports that must be filed on foreign bank and other foreign financial accounts. In addition, in the past, FinCEN has experienced technical difficulties with new methods of reporting information on a far smaller scale.
There are significant privacy concerns about the wholesale downloading of financial data to the Government. Notably, there are no specific constraints on the use of the information in the proposed regulations. The information could be used, as all records and reports required under the BSA, for a range of law-enforcement purposes, including tax enforcement and, in accordance with established criteria and certain agreements, would be available to state and foreign law enforcement. While the impetus for the 2004 Congressional push for FinCEN to pursue this was terrorism, use of the information is not restricted to the investigation of terrorist financing and money laundering. In fact, given the recent trends in terrorist financing, which include local funding of terrorist activities and the use of alternative financial institution such as hawalas, the utility of this information to identify terrorist financing may be less than its utility in other areas, such as tax enforcement.
FinCEN is soliciting comments on the NPRM, which much be submitted by December 28, 2010. FinCEN is particularly interested in receiving comments in the following areas: the effects on customer privacy; the cost and burdens on affected financial institutions; the use of potential third-party carriers other than SWIFT to provide information on behalf of banks; the ability to evade these requirements by migrating to alternative payment or settlement systems or by conducting non-U.S. dollar transactions; the costs and utility of reporting CBETFs processed solely through bank proprietary systems; the potential for duplicate message reporting; the effect on cross-border remittances (e.g., the cost to the retail remittance customer); possible reporting formats; report frequency; how money transmitters will perform currency exchanges; the effect of TIN reporting on the banking and money-transmitter industries; whether money transmitters would prefer a single $1,000 threshold for reporting; and TIN reporting.
The NPRM states the FinCEN "does not anticipate issuing a final rule until after January 1, 2012" because FinCEN first must have in place appropriate information technology systems. That timeframe is probably optimistic given the complexity of the issues and the anticipated outpouring of comments. Any final rulemaking may have a very protracted effective date.

Case Studies - Shibaura Institute of Technology
Pic1 Shibaura Institute of Technology Toyosu Campus. All servers are centralized at this single location.
Shibaura Institute of Technology(SIT) planned its migration to an Intel® Itanium® server to coincide with relocation from its Shibaura campus to a new campus in Toyosu. An earlier migration, from mainframe to open system (Solaris/Windows) had already been completed, but further cost reductions were still being sought. SIT chose PRIMEQUEST because it enabled them to provide new services to students and alumni for more than 5 years into the future. In addition, PRIMEQUEST allowed SIT to consolidate all existing systems onto a single PRIMEQUEST 440.
Shibaura Institute of Technology
Pic2 Mr.Yamazaki, Director, Information center
Shibaura Institute of Technology is one of the major engineering institutions in the Tokyo region. With 8,000 students now relocated at the new Toyosu campus(Pic.1), they also have a campus at Omiya and two related high schools. Their Information system needs include research systems, student service systems and administration systems, such as human resources and entrance examination processing.
Mr.Yamazaki, Director of the SIT information center(Pic.2), says "Despite Japan's declining birth rate, computer resources and requirements for new systems are increasing. Providing good service to both students and alumni is essential if we are to attract the best candidates. We need to research each student's entrance examination score, courses taken and career following graduation."
The information center was founded at the same time as the system engineering faculty, in the 1990's. It consists of a library, computing center and network department. Although not involved in the strategic management of the school they are expected to provide a wide range of data to the financial and administration departments. For this reason, providing proposals that closely follow information system trends is one of the most important jobs of the information center. Mr.Yamazaki says "In recent times, administration and research systems tend to be operated on the same system. Plus we are expected to configure systems that can be used for more than 10 years."
First migration, then systems consolidation
Pic.3 Mr.Sofue, Deputy manager, Network system division
At the end of the 20th century, SIT undertook migration from their mainframe to open servers as a first step in system consolidation. Mr.Sofue, deputy manager of network services(Pic.3), says "At that time, we were using a mainframe and programs developed by professional programmers. The problem was the number of skilled maintenance engineers was decreasing. For this reason, we decided to migrate from the mainframe to an open system in line with campus relocation from Shibaura to Toyosu.
Mr.Yamazaki says, "Our mainframe generation users were anxious about replacing the mainframe" After migrating mainframe operations to open system (Solaris/Windows Servers), SIT faced difficulties in maintaining a distributed system.
Mr.Sofue says, "The expected computer resources required for new services and the migration of existing subsystems required more than 10 servers. Increasing the number of servers meant increases in maintenance costs. We thought it was impossible to maintain the OS and DB functions on an increasing number of servers given our existing resources"
Mr.Yamazaki says "Generally, universities including SIT tend to configure systems themselves. With the system changes we wanted to keep maintenance costs at the same level. In fact, we wanted to reduce the maintenance costs of the platforms."
Secure hardware with mainframe technology selected
Pic.4 PRIMEQUEST installed by Shibaura Institute of Technology Oracle Database 10g and BEA WebLogic Server are installed as mission critical middle ware. Mr.Yamazaki, Director, Information center (Right), Mr.Sofue, Deputy manager, Network system division(Left)
When SIT members were planning the server consolidation project, they quickly decided to introduce Oracle Database 10g as the database server and BEA WebLogic Server as the application Server; this would retain existing skills and ease legacy succession. They also considered using Solaris OS, but eventually decided on Windows Server 2003. Mr.Sofue says, "We considered using our SUN machines as Solaris servers but eventually turned this down due to low availability of mid-range models."
In selecting IA servers, SIT decided to use the Fujitsu PRIMEQUEST 440 Itanium® server. Following an explanation from the Fujitsu development team, Mr.Yamazaki says "We thought PRIMEQUEST, with mainframe-class technology, was the right choice." In fact, SIT had a relationship with Fujitsu from the mainframe era and knew that Fujitsu's support service was reliable. Mr.Yamazaki says "It was difficult to undertake a complete verification of the entire university system without a cooperative vendor."
Today, SIT connects both high schools, both campuses and an internet access point(IX) in Otemachi(Tokyo) using fibre. Connections used by students and academics have separate firewalls. Employees use applications via thin client (Windows Server 2003 Terminal Services). The system for students and academics is configured as a web application with access by Web browser. SIT uses blades for front end processing and PRIMEQUEST for the backend. Mr.Yamazaki says "We choose PRIMEQUEST with its high scalability for longevity in IT use and loaded Oracle and WebLogic."
SIT introduced PRIMEQUEST 440 with 12 Intel® Itanium® processors (Pic.4). PRIMEQUEST with Fujitsu's unique chipset has virtualization capability at the hardware level. It can run different OS environments by grouping server resources such as processors, main memory and I/O devices into physical partitions.
Using this virtualization, SIT decided to divide the server into 3 partitions. One for the database server (Oracle), configured with 8 processors and 128GB of memory. The other two are for the application server(WebLogic) and are clustered, with 2 processors and 32GB of memory allocated to each. Also connected is a Fujitsu ETERNUS storage system via SAN(Storage Area Network). School registration and other data, for all campuses, occupies almost 1 terra-byte of storage in the Oracle database. SIT allocated 2 partitions to the application server because they expect the processing workload to increase in line with the development of service systems for students and academics.
Windows Server 2003 was introduced as the OS. When asked if they are worried about handling Tera Byte sized databases on a Windows based system, Mr. Sofue who has long experience in system configuration says "Today, Windows server has become much more stable. Now there are no reboots caused by system hangs. Also, it is easier to hire good Windows engineers than to hire Solaris engineers.
New service quick to come on-line
Even though SIT chose a large scale system, it was still difficult for them to consolidate all systems at once. They first decided to migrate the student information system which is the main SIT system. All migration was finished by the end of 2005. Now SIT enjoys the advantages of system consolidation, especially in resource management when adding new services. Mr.Yamazaki says, "Previously, we didn't make a proper migration plan. In the university, it is very difficult to decide on target dates for system release and what is to be introduced. On the other hand, we needed to meet the requirements of our users. When we first thought about migration from the mainframe to open servers, there were several different servers in the backend system and the system environment was very complicated." Also the number of software licenses was increasing and becoming uneconomical. Mr.Yamazaki says "We not only consolidated those multiple servers but it also became possible to simplify the resource management."
From 2006, course information could be displayed outside each classroom and student attendance managed by IC card. Planned is a Web-based course registering system and consolidation of other mission critical systems such as the issuing of various certificates. Mr.Sofue says "We are planning to configure the system to support each student's career. We want to support not only students seeking jobs but also those who continue to study in graduate school. We are also working on several ideas for educational support and would like to provide more information to students. It is critical that we provide service menus that adjust to each student's needs.
Mr.Yamazaki says "We wish our students to think that the university is taking care of them, and is providing information and services to its stakeholders. We have to configure highly-scalable systems to achieve this. Although technology changes fast, we would like to continue to use the existing system for 5 years. We think that PRIMEQUEST with its performance and function, is the platform that will meet this requirement."

Victimization ruling overturned
Posted: 27th April 2017
It is hardly surprising that some people feel reluctant to make legal complaints about their existing employers. However, as one case concerning an NHS worker strikingly showed, such claims are commonplace and the law requires that employees must never be penalised for standing up for their rights.
The biochemist had in the past brought a successful race discrimination claim against the NHS trust for which she worked and had received compensation and an apology. Remaining with the same employer, she subsequently lodged a grievance against two doctors who had quite unjustifiably criticised her in a professional context.
The trust's director of HR was aware of the earlier complaint and decided to get involved. He secretly approached the doctors and persuaded them to send letters of apology to the biochemist in a bid to nip her grievance in the bud. He drafted the letters himself but they were designed to look spontaneous. When the biochemist found out what had happened, she said that she felt humiliated and insulted.
Her previous complaint was a protected act under the Equality Act 2010 – meaning that the trust could in no way disadvantage her for having made it. Her victimisation complaint was, however, rejected by an Employment Tribunal (ET). Although the HR director's actions had in part been prompted by his knowledge of the protected act, the ET found that the way in which he had intervened did not amount to victimisation.
In overturning that ruling, the Employment Appeal Tribunal noted that the ET's conclusion was not clearly expressed and appeared inconsistent with its factual findings that the HR director wished to avoid the matter escalating in part because of the biochemist's earlier successful claim and that his intervention was part of a plan to persuade her to take her grievance no further. In the circumstances, the matter was sent back to a fresh ET for reconsideration.

Pigeons Won Awards For Their Work In WWII
Apr 17, 2018 by Lisa Scarpa
We as humans have long been obsessed with seeing what we are unable to see, interested in the lives and possibilities we cannot or do not live. From X-Ray machines, all the way to following other people's Instagram Accounts.
This is exactly how the 'original drone' was invented and I am not talking one that has batteries. In 1907, German apothecary, Dr. Julius Neubronner, invented what today we would call a drone but back then was simply a pigeon with a camera strapped on it. His invention came when he decided he'd like to follow his flock of pigeons on their travels. However, it grew more important than that. They are among some of the earliest pictures taken of earth, others being taken with balloons or kites at the time. Within a few years, his photos won multiple awards and began being sold on postcards.
Later, Neubronner's invention became of interest to a Swiss clockmaker who developed it further. It then became aware to the CIA, that they could use this as an espionage tool, however no one knows if or what they were used for and the information remains classified. Then came the "war pigeons" in WWI and WWII that were in use. Also a subject that the public knows little about why they were used and what content was received from them. However, these pigeons were so widely used and appriciated that over 32 pigeons recieved awards of achievement. The U.S. military used pigeons until 1957, long enough for pigeon-based equipment to be given its own communications system designation, known as AN/CBQ-1 for the "Air-transportable Pigeon Loft & Message Center."
Though, pigeons are no longer used in the U.S., they are still used in some countries today. Watch out what you do or say infront of a pigeon, someone might be watching!

The Art of Bansky exhibition opens in Toronto June 13, 2018
The Art of Banksky exhibition will be coming to Toronto for a limited four-week run, June 13 to July 11, 2018.
Corey Ross, President, Starvox Entertainment, Michel Boersma, Senior Vice President Family Entertainment & Theatre, Live Nation, and Steve Lazarides, Exhibition Curator made this massive announcement at a press conference held in Toronto on May 7, 2018. The exhibition will feature 80 original works from the infamous street artist known as Bansky, the largest ever assembled. The $35 million dollar exhibition has been touring the world, with stops in Melbourne, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, and Auckland, and now Toronto has the honour of being the first city to host the exhibition in North America.
Banksy, who refrains from revealing his identity and does not appear in public, is an English social activist, who is also considered one of the world's top political graffiti artists. His various works, which in addition to paintings, also include sculptures and special displays, are seen on city walls, bridges and streets throughout the world.
Curated by Steve Lazarides, the artist's former manager, this exhibition will include the famous painting known as "Girl and Balloon", "Flag Wall", an urbanized take on the famous picture of soldiers raising the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima, and the controversial work "Laugh Now" – a witty graffiti piece that depicts a monkey with a sign hanging from his neck with the words: "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge."
The majority of paintings in this exhibition were originally exhibited and sold in some of Banksy's seminal shows, including 'Turf Wars' and 'Barely Legal'. These and all others on display at this exhibition have never appeared as street art, and were purposely created for the purpose of display. Lazarides said one of the pieces is seven metres high, and has only been shown publicly once before, in Los Angeles over a decade ago.
The Toronto exhibition will be mounted in a raw warehouse space at 213 Sterling Road, an area in west end of Toronto that is quickly becoming a creative hub for artists. This once empty warehouse district is now the new home of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), Anansi Press, Henderson Brewing and Drake Commissary.
Presented by Starvox Exhibits, a new division of Starvox Entertainment, known for their live theatre productions, this is their inaugural exhibition being produced in partnership with Live Nation. "I am proud to be able to have a collection of this calibre as the first exhibit under our new business division and in association with Live Nation," commented Corey Ross, President & CEO, Starvox Exhibits.
Banksy previously dazzled Toronto back in 2010, when a few pieces of his work appeared around the city as part of a promo tour for the documentary film about him, titled Exit Through The Gift Shop.
"This is a one-of-a-kind exhibition. You will never again have the opportunity to see this many of Banksy's works in one place. Once the exhibition is over, the artwork will be returned to art collectors around the world, and the chances that they will be displayed together again in the future are extremely slim," stated Steve Lazarides. He also indicated there will be a music and film component to the exhibition as well, and hopes "the political aspect of the works will get people talking."
The exhibit is scheduled to be in Toronto for four weeks only. Advance tickets are available through American Express "Front of the Line" beginning Monday, May 7, while general tickets go on sale beginning Saturday, May 12 at 10:00 a.m. and are available online , with a limited quantity of tickets also available on site at 213 Sterling Ave, starting on June 13. Ticket price is $35.00 and there will be a total of 50,000 available, both timed and general admission.
June 13 to July 11, 2018

John Edward Bouligny (February 5, 1824 – February 20, 1864) was an American politician who was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives representing the state of Louisiana. He served one term as a member of the Know Nothing movement's anti-immigrant American Party. During his term, Louisiana seceded from the Union, but Bouligny remained in Washington and refused to resign. He was the only member of Congress from Louisiana to not resign or vacate his seat after the state seceded.
Bouligny, who went by his middle name Edward, was born in New Orleans. He was son of Louisiana state Representative Louis Bouligny and Elizabeth Virginie D'Hauterive. His uncle, Charles Dominique Joseph Bouligny, had served one term as U.S. Senator from Louisiana in the 1820s and his grandfather, Francisco Bouligny, was a high-ranking colonial official and military governor of Spanish Louisiana in the late 18th century. Bouligny attended public schools in New Orleans before studying law and being admitted to the bar.[1][2] In 1852, he was appointed "assistant-appraiser of merchandize" for the U.S. Custom House in New Orleans by President Millard Fillmore.[3]
Bouligny became involved with Know Nothing politics in the 1850s and by 1855 was a party secretary in the state.[4] While the national American Party was firmly pro-Protestant, the Know Nothings found strong support in Louisiana, including in largely Catholic New Orleans.[5] In contrast to the national party, the Louisiana American Party refused to adopt a religious test for membership,[6] making it welcoming to pro-slavery, anti-immigrant former Whigs,[7] including Catholic Creoles like Bouligny.
Bouligny was elected recorder for the Fourth Municipal District of New Orleans in 1856,[8] making him responsible for trying and sentencing cases involving public nuisances and petty crimes.[9] The Fourth District was incorporated into New Orleans in 1852; prior to then it was Lafayette City, Jefferson Parish, and Bouligny's older brother, Francis, had served as its mayor.[10]
Congressman
Bouligny's remarks on the secession of Louisiana
In 1859, in what was described as a "brisk, close and earnest" nomination contest, Bouligny was selected to run as the American Party candidate for Louisiana's 1st congressional district.[11] He defeated Judge T.G. Hunt Jr., an old-line Whig, and state Rep. Charles Didier Dreux. Bouligny edged Dreux by just two votes at the party convention.[12] Bouligny won the November election with plurality of 49.13% of the vote, defeating former Democratic representative Emile La Sére and States Rights candidate Charles Bienvenu.[13][14] During the 36th Congress, Bouligny sat on the House Committee on Private Land Claims.[15] According to GovTrack, Bouligny missed 197 of 433 roll call votes during his one term in Congress.[16]
In the 1860 presidential election, Bouligny publicly supported the Democratic candidate Stephen A. Douglas.[17]
Bouligny was strongly opposed to Louisiana's secession from the United States of America, stating in a speech before Congress on February 5, 1861, that he answered not to the Louisiana secession convention but to the people who elected him.[18] Bouligny went on to say that if his constituents called for him to step down, he would do so but would "remain a Union man."[19] He retained his seat in Congress after Louisiana withdrew from the Union on January 26, 1861, until the expiry of his term on March 3, 1861.
After Secession
Bouligny returned to New Orleans and in November 1861 stood unsuccessfully for election as a justice of the peace.[20] Reportedly, Bouligny fought a number of duels (at least one per month between late 1861 and mid 1862)[21] due to his support for the Union. His left hand was shot through in a duel on December 29, 1861,[22] but he continued to duel into 1863 by which time his arm was also paralyzed.[23][24] He was referred to as "probably the most famous duelist in the State" by Confederate sailor James M. Morgan.[25]
In 1862, after issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, President Lincoln engaged Bouligny to determine if Union-occupied New Orleans and other portions of Louisiana could hold early elections to send representatives to Congress.[26][27] Once elections were approved, Bouligny ran for reelection to his vacant seat in Congress, but was handily defeated by Benjamin Flanders who had the backing of the Union military governor of Louisiana, Benjamin Butler.[28] Bouligny won just 136 votes against Flanders's 2,184 votes.[29] Bouligny attributed his loss to interference by Butler in the election, which Butler denied,[30] and Bouligny was later (falsely) rumored to have shot Butler in a duel.[31] Although Lincoln had considered appointing Bouligny to a position at the Port of New Orleans after he left Congress, after Bouligny lost his bid for reelection Lincoln was less willing to find a patronage position for him.[32]
Bouligny later returned to Washington where he died at his father-in-law's house in February 1864.[33] He was interred in a Parker family plot at Congressional Cemetery.[34]
Bouligny was multilingual. French and Spanish were used in his family home and in correspondence with cousins in Europe, while he used English in letters with his wife.[35] In Congress, he conducted business in English, although during the debate over the election of a speaker for the 36th Congress, Bouligny responded to a quip from Emerson Etheridge, who had said he called "every man my friend who wears an honest face, speaks the English language, swears by the Holy Bible, and does not spell Constitution with a 'K,'" by asking if was he excluded from the remarks "because I do not speak the English language."[15]
Bouligny arrived in Washington as a bachelor, but on May 1, 1860, he married Mary Elizabeth Parker, the daughter of Washington merchant George Parker.[36] The wedding was considered "perhaps the most brilliant wedding that has ever taken place in the Federal metropolis."[37] The event was attended by President James Buchanan, several cabinet secretaries, and numerous members of Congress. Years later, the wedding was misidentified as where Buchanan learned of South Carolina's secession; however, that did not happen until December 1860.[38]
The couple had two daughters, Corrine and Felicie.[2] Felicie's daughter, Odette Le Fontenay, was an opera singer in the 20th century.[39]
In 1867, as part of settling a long-standing property dispute, the 39th Congress passed an act, awarding one-sixth of the land granted to Jean Antoine Bernard D'Autrive in 1765 to Bouligny's widow, Mary Elizabeth, and their two daughters in recognition of his loyalty to the Union.[40] As the land was already deeded to others, however, the Bouligny heirs were entitled to claim 75,840 acres (30,690 ha) of public lands elsewhere in the country at a price of $1.25 per acre. The following year, the 40th Congress passed a joint resolution suspending the act.[41] When Mary Elizabeth, now married to George Levey, sought to claim the promised land in 1888, her petition was rejected by the Department of the Interior, a decision that was a year later affirmed by the Supreme Court.[42] During the 1876 presidential election, the Democratic Party noted that Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes's only speech before the House as a member of Congress was in support of revoking the act.[43]

The Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project: 17 Years Ago, you Gave Ruth a Chance-Where is she now?
17 Years Ago, you Gave Ruth a Chance-Where is she now?
Girls in Rural Uganda are often told to quit school so they can start a family.
Without your support, Ruth believes that at 22, she would "be a mom to many children," rather than one of Nyaka's amazing nurses.
Ruth lost her father at a very young age. She and her five younger siblings were sent to live with their grandmother. While attending Primary One, her grandmother couldn't purchase her books or pay school fees. Her education was going to end before her eighth birthday. Ruth accepted that she would be a housemaid, rather than achieve her dream of being a nurse.
However, thanks to your support, everything changed for Ruth when her grandmother discovered a FREE school for orphaned children--your Nyaka Primary School. Ruth was a Pioneer Student, part of Nyaka's first class of students.
As a student, Ruth watched nurses care for her ill grandmother. She knew she wanted to become a nurse to serve her community, particularly for sick children. Thanks to the strong education foundation you provided Ruth, she made her dreams a reality. Ruth graduated nursing school!
Your compassion not only benefited Ruth, but also allowed her to impact the Nyaka community. Today, Ruth is the nurse at your Nyaka's Vocational Secondary School. Ruth treats sick students so they can stay in school. She also counsels and provides emotional support for students.
This is Ruth's dream job because she can inspire students everyday. Young students gain confidence by seeing how Ruth was a Nyaka student who became a medical professional. Because compassionate people like you invested in Ruth over 10 years ago, she is able to continue to inspire Nyaka's female students every day.
Can you imagine what the children you are investing in today will do when they grow up?
Meet Ruth, the nurse you empowered!
You Empower Nyaka's Women in STEM!

Carbondale Police Patrol Sgt. Guy Draper been recognized by the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police State Lodge with a Valor Award for actions last year that prevented an active shooter from killing or injuring innocent people.
"Sgt. Draper put himself at extreme personal risk to avert a potential disaster," said FOP State Lodge President Chris Southwood. "Guy's courage and quick thinking got a shooter off the street and kept innocent people out of the hospital or morgue."
On Oct. 21, 2017, Draper heard gunshots from an alley near a Carbondale business. As he approached, he saw a man firing a handgun toward a crowd of people.
Draper engaged the man and fired his duty weapon, causing the subject to take cover. The man then emerged and Draper fired again, injuring the man and causing him to surrender.
No one besides the suspect was injured in the incident.
The FOP Valor Award is presented to a law enforcement officer for an act of outstanding bravery or heroism that demonstrates selflessness, personal courage and devotion to duty.

Surveillance is ubiquitous in our communities which can be utilized to deal with multiple security issues. However, most of surveillance systems still are not intelligent which are mainly relying on security staff's human labor. Thus, human behavior analysis based on computer vision could tremendously reduce security staff's workload.
To analyze and understand human behaviors in surveillance, the start point is to extract computable features from captured videos based on detected human body, the ultimate goal is to finally recognize human behaviors from motion and event analysis.
This thesis presents comprehensive and in-depth empirical approaches for event recognition in surveillance based on distinct Feature Extraction Techniques (FET), namely: Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG), Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Scale Invariant Local Ternary Pattern (SILTP). Each of the FETs is based on local feature descriptor which depends on adjusting the cell size of the ROI to achieve better performance. In this thesis, we find the cell size will influence not only the computational time, but also the precision rate.
This thesis utilizes the well-known Weizmann video datasets. While both LBP and SILTP features work very well, HOG has shown its superior performance for human behaviour analytics with five selected events (Walking, Running, Skipping, Jumping and Jacking). The simulated results of three classifiers from WEKA (MLP, k-NN, decision tree) have reflected rightness of the extracted features.
In this thesis, the empirical approaches for human behaviour analytics in surveillance reduce human labor tremendously. The contributions of this thesis are: (1) The distinct FET makes the best precision of overall human behaviour recognition at the rate above 97.7%. (2) By adjusting the cell size of ROI, the proposed approaches are able to be accelerated, furthermore, computational time could be reduced.

SaferAfrica wins Prince Michael Award
The consortium of the SaferAfrica project has received the prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award 2019 for its work in Africa. The prize was handed over to the project coordinator, Prof Luca Persia, Director of the Research Centre for Transport and Logistics (CTL), La Sapienza University of Rome, Susanna Zammataro, Director General of the International Road Federation (IRF) and other members of the consortium in a special ceremony held at The Savoy in London in the presence of His Royal Highness, Prince Michael of Kent.
In Africa, the average road fatality rate is 26.6 per 100.000 population compared to 9.3 of European countries. A dialogue between Europe and Africa can only be beneficial to improving safety in many African countries. The Consortium composed of 17 European and African partners, coordinated by the Research Centre for Transport and Logistics, Sapienza University of Rome, set up a Dialogue Platform, led by a Management Board made up of with 11 prominent international institutions – including the African Union (AU), the European Commission (EC), the World Bank (WB), the World Health Organisation (WHO), the African Development Bank (AfDB), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA). Through the Dialogue platform, a lively community of 192 stakeholders from 42 African countries has been created to foster a regular and structured dialogue and exchange of expertise.
"I am truly honored to receive this prestigious award, in recognition of the great work made together with the Consortium to improve road safety in Africa" – said Prof. Persia commenting in the margins of the ceremony. "The Dialogue Platform is certainly one of the most important results achieved with a host of resources and functionalities designed to link and assist policy makers, donors and professionals in planning and designing effective road safety interventions.
In its three-year existence, SaferAfrica - a EU funded project under Horizon 2020 programme – has set up also an African Road Safety Observatory. The platform hosts a comprehensive repository of knowledge including country capacity reviews, webinars and e-learning courses on the five pillars of the Decade of Action and has crowdsourcing functionalities that allow local communities and stakeholders to flag out problems and to identify solutions together.
"We have been delighted to work over the past 3 years with this dedicated group of people. SaferAfrica is really in line with that spirit of partnership and collaboration that is the distinctive mark of IRF since more than 70 years" said Susanna Zammataro, IRF DG. "Beside allowing better understanding of the issues at stake in Africa, the project has also spurred more action and we see now follow-up projects and initiatives gradually taking shape in several countries" she continued.

With the holiday season on the horizon, it is time for us foodies to dig into our arsenal of festive recipes. This year, the first non-pumpkin creation on my list was gingersnap cookie butter. Don't get me wrong, I love pumpkin just as much as the next person. But with November and December creeping up on us, there is nothing better than embracing other seasonal flavors such as gingersnap.
It also does not hurt to start with a recipe that is easy to wrap up and give as a present. I know, I know… gift-giving season isn't for a while. Yet, we all know how the story goes — you blink and it is time to start looking for last-minute gifts for everyone you know. Plus, by doing some early experimentation, you can determine exactly what you will make for the holidays. It is an excellent way to avoid panic mode in December.
Thankfully, a treat like this gingersnap cookie butter recipe is budget-friendly and requires zero fancy kitchen skills. You can even combine different types of cookies to customize a jar for that special someone. To ensure freshness, store the cookie butter in a jar and gift it to the recipient within one or two days of making it. In the fridge, the cookie butter will last for about two weeks. If everyone can stay away from it, that is.
Before starting this recipe, crush the cookies into crumbs using a food processor. The number of cookies needed will depend on the size of each one. For this particular batch, I used 24 gingersnap cookies total.
1. Over medium heat, combine the condensed milk, coconut milk, and butter/coconut oil in a saucepan.
Add extra ingredients like vanilla and spices, if you'd like. These aren't necessary but can add another burst of flavor to your cookie butter. Continue heating and stirring the mixture until it is uniform; there shouldn't be any chunks of butter floating around.
2. Add the mixture to the cookie crumbs.
You're almost there, but not quite yet!
3. Mix, mix, and mix some more!
The end result is a creamy and flavorful gingersnap cookie butter. If the consistency is too thin for your liking, add some more cookie crumbs. If it's too thick, add a bit of water.
Personally, I love to pair cookie butter with pretzels, bananas, and strawberries. It also makes a fab topping for ice cream, toast, and waffles. I bet it would taste amazing in coffee, too. Maybe I'll just throw it on everything I eat from now on.

I'm a big fan of Kim Deal. Her work with both the Pixies and the band she has with her twin sister Kelly, that band being the Breeders. A name given to them by the patrons of gay clubs that they played in beginning.
Where is my mind? = from the pixies. Kim supplies the haunting backing vocal.
One Pixies DVD menu has this vocal intro on a loop.
Sometimes I let it play for hours.
Hey Inglorious Kim's another bassist, just like Johnette.
I also remember the Falling Joys. Particularly "Lock It". Big single here.
I like this detour from football mvasilj; too many to mention. Off the top of me head - Chrissie Hynde & the late Kirsty MacColl.
Serena Ryder, fell in love with her voice and looks, especially after singing "Racing In The Street" , kind of reminded me of Suzi Quotro.
Let's not forget Alison Moyet's breathtaking voice, eh?
Also, Swing Out Sister's Corinne Drewery has always been a personal fave. I'd love see SOS live again.

Linda Thomspson singing Dimming of the day or a heart needs a home. Two of the most beautiful songs in the English language, IMO.
Finally, someone a bit less obscure that more than half a dozen people might have heard of - Kate Bush singing This woman's work. No explanation required, it simply pierces the soul.
I'm a big fan of Kim Deal. Her work with both the Pixies and the band she has with her twin sister Kelly, that band being the Breeders.
You beat me to it Blondifan! Kim Deal from her time with The Breeders on the track below.
I always like Marcy Levy singing back-up for Eric Clapton on his mid 70's albums. Not my favorite Clapton albums but I do love her voice.
I loved her early music with Gram Parsons.
And she is still hot.
(not on youtube) Sandy Denny singing Bruton Town, a traditional murder ballad. There's a live solo recording that has appeared on a couple of compilations where she perfectly conveys the tragedy of the final verse.
Did Sandy Denny (of Fairport Convention) cover this Pentangle song?
Ironically I just finished making a Fairport compilation around "Lieg & Lief".
Clare Torry, certainly had an effect on my teenage years.
