The Kamikaze-maru was sailing on through a light rain. The captain and Yasuo have already slept lying down on the tatami. Since getting on the ship, Yasuo never spoke to Shinji.
The boy closed his face to the round window on which rain drops were rolling down, and in a soft light through the window, he opened Hastsue's envelope and examined the contents. There contained an amulet of Yashiro Shrine, one Hatsue's picture and a letter. The letter said that….
"Every day from now on, I am going to Yashiro Shrine to pray for Shunji-san's safety. My heart is yours. I hope you get back safe and sound. I am enclosing my picture so that I can sail with you together. It is the picture taken at Daio Mountain.
The letter encouraged the young boy. He felt his arms being filled with power and his body were bursting with life.

Video: Walker Buehler strikes out 16 in complete game win
By Ashley VarelaJun 22, 2019, 1:21 PM EDT
Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler is fast approaching the career-high marks he established during his rookie campaign in 2018, particularly after the 16-strikeout complete game gem he twirled against the Rockies on Friday night. He expended just 111 pitches during his start and surrendered only three hits — a single to Charlie Blackmon and a pair of solo home runs to both Blackmon and Nolan Arenado.
For the first 3 2/3 innings, however, 24-year-old Buehler was perfect. He set down 11 consecutive outs — including five consecutive strikeouts between the second and third innings — before Arenado belted a two-out homer in the fourth inning. The righty's eventual 16-strikeout feat was the 11th of its kind in franchise history, and represented a particular kind of excellence the club had not seen since Hideo Nomo's one-run, 17-strikeout complete game against the Marlins in 1996.
The Dodgers' offense, meanwhile, held their own: Chris Taylor drove in the first run on a sac fly in the second, while Cody Bellinger collected his 25th homer of the year off of German Márquez in the fourth. Tied 2-2 in the ninth, Max Muncy took a seven-pitch walk from Jairo Díaz and promptly plated the go-ahead run after rookie Matt Beaty drove a two-out, 1-0 fastball to center field for a walk-off homer.
The 4-2 win was just the latest in a string of exceptional appearances by Buehler, from his near no-hitter last Saturday to his quality start against the Giants and one-run, 11-strikeout affair against the Diamondbacks at the start of the month. He'll get another chance to boost his season stats (an 8-1 record in 15 starts with a 2.96 ERA, 1.3 BB/9, 9.9 SO/9, and 2.6 fWAR across 91 1/3 innings) when he takes on the D-backs during the Dodgers' road trip this Wednesday.

It took me several years to notice the church that wasn't there any more. I realize now that I had walked past it many times in the first few years that I lived in the area without noticing it. I suppose under the circumstances that's not so unusual and I think that the camouflage hiding it was so effective precisely because of how disarmingly nondescript it looked. Even when I did notice the quiet façade, my first reaction was little more than a piquing of my curiosity rather than some jaw-dropping moment of revelation.
When I did actually become aware of the church, it still wasn't immediately obvious. It's not as if a monument of Gothic architecture leapt out to waylay me and ask me for contributions for its quota. No, somehow this church was hiding. In fact, the best way I can describe it was that it was disguised as another building altogether. To the outside world, there was simply a black marble plaque with dirty white lettering, diffidently set on the wall of an office block. The bricks of the office were as grey as the pavement before it, as if the builders of the office block had been vaguely embarrassed by it and so had been less inclined to make it stand out as a proud corporate headquarters.
The plaque noted that "on this site used to be St Saviour's Church", but made no mention of how or why it had been demolished. For some reason, that made the back of my mind tickle. There was a date on it too – 1985 – but the building it was placed on seemed a good twenty years older than that.
I wondered if this bore any connection to the much grander St Saviour's that stood proudly round the corner from the parade of shops on another arm of the roads leading away from Sunbury Cross. That building had a bright limestone gleam that no amount of weeds and cracked asphalt had managed to obscure. The spelling on its contacts board was certainly identical to the name used here, which suggested a re-use or a migration of some sort. I peered closer at the entrance.
A plain glass door and a dimly lit corridor could be seen leading into the depths of the office block. There was no one in sight, suggesting that the building was unattended by more secular disciples than the plaque suggested. A column of doorbell buttons and a speaker unit next to the door suggested a multi-tenancy arrangement, but a passing glance didn't give any clues about who was using this space. The handwritten labels were all long faded away.
Like every one else, I would normally have mentally shrugged and carried on my way towards the Troll Bridges, but that itch in my hind-brain wouldn't stop nagging at me to find out what was going on, especially with all the other oddities that lurk in the shadows round here. You're probably not at all surprised to learn that I'm the sort of person who habitually walks towards trouble rather than away from it. So I stepped onto the tiled doorstep of the entrance and reached for the plain steel handle set at waist height in the glass.
The moment in which the handle changed into a cast iron knob, and the door became dark oak, was a little scary. I kept my grip on it, feeling both the rough and pitted texture of the iron and the sleek brushed steel of the unassuming office block at the same time. I'd love to say that it was the weirdest set of sensations I've ever had, but that accolade went to the time I woke up to find a ghost sharing my pillow. To this day I still can't make my mind up if that was the scariest or most wonderful night of my life.
Perhaps if I'd let go and stepped away, I wouldn't have found it again. I could feel a nagging sense of worry with a small voice at the back of my mind telling me to walk away. It didn't feel like my normal internal voice however, the one that berates me for sticking my nose into other people's problems or mutters darkly when I make horrible mistakes.
It made me think the reticence was instead whatever was letting the old church hide behind the fabric of this building; so I pushed through. I remember feeling the very solid weight of the door that was totally at odds with the transparent surface that glimmered in and out of focus like a badly tuned TV station.
A few steps over the threshold and I could have been forgiven for thinking the modern world did not exist. The thrum of passing traffic receded, and the light became more golden-hued, as if it was suddenly summer rather than the rather gloomy October that I'd just been walking in. It wasn't the only sudden difference. I was suddenly surrounded by red brick and stone arches in a building that I was pretty sure didn't really fit what I'd seen outside. To say it was mildly odd was more than a quiet understatement.
Most churches are aligned, by which I mean that the altar is at the East end of the building. That's where you'll usually find the imposing stained glass windows depicting saints or biblical events that flooded their buildings with washes of colour when the sun is in the right position. This church wasn't aligned. I'm not saying it was somehow a place of evil, far from it, it was just not what I'd expected. I guessed it had been, or perhaps still was, a mission church that had then been built up.
The style of the building seemed to be a clash of influences, which made me think it was something that had evolved on this site. It felt like an old layout built in newer materials, as if someone had tried to build a Norman church out of breeze blocks, plaster board and concrete. Maybe I'm being unkind, I do that quite often. I should have chosen nicer words because this space felt loved, like a cherished memory. The light was warm and everything was in a sort of soft focus.
The altar was set up at the west, with well polished silver and an immaculate cotton frontispiece that featured a stylised red and gold sunrise behind the Golgothan crosses. The whole dreamlike quality of the place had me convinced until then that I was hallucinating the whole thing. As a result, when the Verger politely coughed to get my attention, I therefore rather impressed myself by not leaping my own height in the air. I hadn't actually expected to see anyone here.
He was polite enough to let me hurriedly regain what remained of my composure before speaking again. He was also gracious enough not to permit more than the ghost of a smile to disturb his unlined features.
"Can I help you?" he said. He held what looked suspiciously like a leaflet in his hand. His suit was clean and his shoes respectably polished. His round framed glasses reflected the soft light around us, and in appearance he looked to be either a well preserved pensioner or a slightly haggard middle aged man.
"I don't know, I was curious about the sign and walked in. Where am I?" On the basis that this likely couldn't get any weirder, I went for honesty.
"This is Saint Saviour's Church-As-Was – a refuge and mission house for those who have fallen between the cracks and need the safety and help of the Church."
"I'm not sure I understand." The stability of what I was seeing seemed to waver for a moment, and I decided to stop trying to make sense of what I was seeing in case it winked out of existence and left me stranded in the middle of some filing cabinets or something.
"When the decision was made to move to the new church, there were many who held a grand and enduring love for this Mission Church that we had built up. The building may be long gone, but its memory is still strong enough to hold this space, so we maintain it and keep it."
"I imagine the Church is a bit bemused to have unreal estate – they've always seemed to struggle to manage their real properties, let alone something like this."
"Ah, I understand from the church wardens that this isn't the first time that this has happened – and it's probably why you've heard stories of properties and deeds rediscovered over the years. I imagine it gets hard to keep track of what's physical and spiritual estate."
"I suppose. So, do many people know about this?"
"A small number, but it's mostly people who stumble in off the street, a warm place for lost souls and homeless people. We're particularly busy in colder winters, and at Christmas of course."
"Of course." I said on reflex. Then a thought occurred to me: "When I leave, I won't forget about this place will I?"
"Not if you don't want to. There are a lot of people who don't come back, but then people in crisis aren't always focused on anything other than their immediate situation. Alcohol, drugs, or even simple illness and exhaustion are all enough to cloud memories after the fact. It's sad, but just one of those things. We do what we can."
"Stupid question, thinking about it, otherwise you'd not be here."
"Oh we go where we're sent." He smiled, a thin line that suggested a private joke. I'm not entirely stupid, and the last piece of the puzzle slotted into place. He saw my expression change and said the traditional greeting found all over the Bible: "Do not be afraid." It was a little late for that really.
"I think I'd better be going." I said. I wasn't sure I wanted confirmation of what he was – some things are best left ambiguous.
"Of course. You know where we are." He smiled, and I of course smiled back, because there are some fights that you just don't want to have, and I really didn't want to have a broken arm when I had so much Christmas shopping to do. I made my excuses and left soon after, but I did eventually go back. I've been back several times in fact, though usually to raid the holy water stoop. It's definitely still there, and if your need is great, you can find it too. Just don't annoy the staff.

Indians close out Chris Perez, release closer
By TOM WITHERSAP Sports Writer
The Indians closed out their relationship with Chris Perez. The team released the colorful closer Thursday following a season in which he performed below his All-Star abilities, got arrested and surrendered his job in the final week as Cleveland tried to clinch a playoff spot.
The Indians closed out their relationship with Chris Perez.
The team released the colorful closer Thursday following a season in which he performed below his All-Star abilities, got arrested and surrendered his job in the final week as Cleveland tried to clinch a playoff spot.
Also, the Indians re-signed veteran slugger Jason Giambi, who provided leadership last season along with some clutch hits.
A two-time All-Star, Perez spent five seasons in Cleveland. And while he saved 124 games, Perez often was at the center of turmoil that overshadowed his pitching. He angered Indians fans last season for saying they didn't support the team like they should, and he rankled Cleveland's front office by criticizing trades and stating the Indians weren't spending enough to win.
"We just finished out team meetings and made the determination that Chris was not a fit on our roster," general manager Chris Antonetti said in announcing Perez's release.
In June, Perez was arrested after drug agents followed a package containing marijuana to his home in Rocky River, Ohio. He and his wife pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge. Perez, who was never shy about voicing his opinion on any subject, didn't talk to the media for months before breaking his silence on the final day of the regular season in Minnesota when the Indians secured a wild-card berth.
Antonetti denied the notion that Perez was a distraction.
"I think we were able to handle any issues," Antonetti said. "In the end, we won 92 games with him serving as our closer for the majority of the season."
Perez was eligible for salary arbitration this winter, and based on his statistics and was in line for a raise from his $7.3 million salary this year. But Perez's struggles, along with his tempestuous past, resulted in the Indians cutting ties with him a day after the World Series ended.
In 54 games, Perez went 5-3 with a 4.33 ERA and 25 saves in 30 attempts. But he scuffled after Aug. 1 as his ERA ballooned to 7.52 ERA and he allowed six runs in his final two appearances.
Antonetti said Perez, who had a stint on the disabled list this season with a sore shoulder, is healthy and feels he'll bounce back — just not in Cleveland.
"On balance, Chris was a very meaningful contributor to our teams over the last few years," Antonetti said. "He had a tough stretch at the end of the season, but all players go through ups and downs. I think Chris will respond well and pitch well for his next team."
After he gave up four runs in the ninth inning of a win over Minnesota late in the season, Perez walked into manager Terry Francona's office and told him he didn't want to cost the team a possible playoff berth. Francona promptly pulled him from the closer's role, and there was speculation Perez would be left off the postseason roster.
However, Perez was on the active roster for the wild-card loss to Tampa Bay.
With Perez gone, the Indians need a closer and will look to fill the spot internally with either Cody Allen or Bryan Shaw, two reliable relievers last year. Antonetti said the club could pursue a closer in free agency, but his preference is to use a pitcher on the roster.
Giambi was a consummate team player from the moment he arrived at training camp last spring training, and the Indians were thrilled to have him back.
"There is no better way to start our offseason than to re-sign Jason Giambi," said Antonetti. "He made a huge impact on our team last season."
The 42-year-old, who was a finalist for Colorado's managerial job last year, batted just .183 with nine homers and 31 RBIs in 71 games. But it was contributions inside Cleveland's clubhouse as a mentor to the team's younger players and a conduit for Francona that helped the Indians get back to the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
Giambi also had a flair for the dramatic.
He twice became the oldest player in history to hit a walk-off home run. He broke the record set by Hank Aaron on July 29 against Chicago and then bettered his own mark on Sept. 24 with a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth to beat the White Sox, a shot that helped propel the Indians to a 10-game winning streak to end the season.
"When you get a guy like that, sometimes it can be once in a lifetime," Franconia said. "He's changed people in the organization. He's made me better. He's made everybody he touches better. That's a very special person."
The Indians signed Giambi to a minor league contract, a deal with minimal risk in case he decides to retire.
Cleveland also made a minor trade with San Diego, acquiring left-hander Colt Hynes from the Padres for cash considerations. The 28-year-old reliever spent the second half of last season with San Diego, posting a 9.00 ERA in 22 relief outings.

Part 4 of Beyond Bethlehem, Herod the great is set as the opposite of the King that God was sending into the world.
As we go Beyond Bethlehem, we see what we can do to accept and appreciate the one true First Responder.
We begin this new series by reflecting on the question, if Jesus is in control of all things, shouldn't He control us? Pastor Waggoner delves into the answer.

Consultation on ability of courts to depart from EU law after Brexit
The UK government is consulting on which lower courts and tribunals will be allowed to depart from retained EU case law after the end of the Brexit implementation period, and in what circumstances.
Current legal position
The "implementation period" during which the UK must continue to comply with EU law ends on 31 December 2020, but that doesn't mean EU law simply then "goes away". Under the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2018, all "retained EU law" is converted into UK law to allow for continuity and legal certainty. This effectively takes a snapshot of EU law as at 31 December - both statute and case law - and ensures it continues to apply in the UK. Divergence from EU law is, however, permitted from this point onwards. Where case law is concerned, the question arises as to how and when the courts can do this?
Under the 2018 Act, courts and tribunals are not bound by any new decisions made by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) after the end of this year, although they can "have regard to" such decisions "so far as it is relevant to any matter before the court or tribunal". In other words, if you're having a spat about working time or data protection or similar and the ECJ issues a decision in 2021 which may be relevant to it, you can invite the court or tribunal to have regard to it - but they don't have to follow it.
The 2018 Act goes further, by providing that the Supreme Court (SC) is not bound by any retained EU case law but can depart from it by applying "the same test as it would apply in deciding whether to depart from its own case law". That means whenever the SC considers it right to do so - a very broad discretion.
This was where things stood until January 2020 when, emboldened by its landslide election victory, the Johnson government passed the EU (Withdrawal Agreement) Act 2020. This amended the 2018 Act, holding out the promise of the UK moving further and faster away from EU law. It does so by creating the power to issue regulations allowing for lower courts and tribunals not to be bound by any retained EU case law either.
What does the new consultation say?
The government's consultation, Departure from retained EU case law by UK courts and tribunals, looks at how this power should be used. Open for six weeks, it seeks views on: the use of the government's power to designate additional courts or tribunals that can depart from retained EU case law; how to specify the circumstances in which they may do so; the test they must apply; and which considerations should be considered relevant. The deadline for responses to the consultation is 13 August 2021.
The consultation document says that the government has identified two policy options which it considers "are capable of giving effect to the policy aims of enabling more courts to depart from retained case law, while at the same time maintaining legal certainty". The first option is to extend the power just to the Court of Appeal (CA) and its equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland. The second option is to extend it also to the High Court (HC) and its Scottish and Northern Irish equivalents. The document says that both alternatives "would provide greater scope for the interpretation of case law to evolve to recognise the UK's changing status" and that, if only the SC retains this power, cases may take longer to consider and the law will become "fossilised".
The consultation does not propose to extend the power to lesser bodies, such as the Employment Tribunal (ET), because "if every court and tribunal can depart from retained EU case law, the uncertainty created could be significant". Views are welcomed, however, on whether other courts and tribunals should be within the scope, particularly for option 2. In the employment context, the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) is the equivalent of the HC and so an obvious candidate if the government goes down this route.
Regarding the circumstances in which a relevant court or tribunal is not to be bound by retained EU case law, the consultation document leaves much to be decided. It recognises the risk of "re-litigating" areas covered by retained EU law such as "paid leave entitlement", suggesting that courts will not be bound to the extent that retained EU case law is unmodified by the SC. The government is said to be "considering the extent to which [the court or tribunal] should be permitted to depart from retained domestic case law which relates to retained EU case law in circumstances in which they would not otherwise be able to". This might cover, for instance, a domestic judgment given before 31 December 2020 applying an ECJ ruling. Views are sought on whether such courts and tribunals should be permitted to depart from judgments of courts superior to them, and in what circumstances.
As regards the test to be applied for departing from retained EU case law, the consultation proposes that other courts and tribunals should use the same test as the SC - that is, when it appears right to do so. This is on the basis that it would promote consistency and minimise the risk of divergence across the UK, although this approach is questionable as it would involve a very broad discretion.
The government goes on to say that it is not minded to specify any considerations to be taken into account when deciding whether to depart from retained EU case law. Instead, flexibility should allow for "the fluid nature of factors which may be relevant in any given case, and the changing nature of public policy considerations over time".
What are the implications?
The government is right to be alive to the likelihood that restricting the power to depart from retained EU case law to the SC may mean that few ECJ cases get overturned by a judicial route, with the associated risk of EU jurisprudence becoming "fossilised". Very few cases make it that far, with SC appeals limited to issues of public importance, and the costs involved are substantial.
Nonetheless, the proposal to extend the power to the CA, and possibly the HC and other bodies, is not without its problems. It would let them depart from retained EU case law whenever they felt it "right" to do so, without any written test or set of principles to serve as a guide. It seems inevitable that judges would be led into politically sensitive areas, with uncertain results.
Irrespective of where the bar is set, there is clear scope for increased numbers of appeals and "re-litigation" of currently settled points of law. A claimant who dislikes the outcome of any decision where a judge has followed retained EU case law may feel strongly incentivised to pursue an appeal to a higher court comprising a panel of judges with the power to depart from it.
It also seems inevitable that there will be much "exploratory" or "opportunistic" pleading of points relating to departure from EU case law in litigation. Even if powers are restricted to the SC and CA, cases may start out with this appeal point hanging over them. In addition, much remains uncertain about the precedent value UK cases will have when based on EU case law, and when lower courts might be able to depart from higher UK judgments on this basis. Inevitably, the more bodies there are with powers to depart from EU law on a broad, discretionary basis, the greater the issues there will be with legal certainty and predictability.
In the employment law context, the ECJ's case law on holiday pay has been truly game-changing. Its decisions effectively outlawing "rolled-up" holiday pay have been the source of much frustration, and a departure from them may be popular. Cases saying that holiday pay must include regular commission and overtime are much more contentious, however, and whether it would be "right" to overturn them is an inherently political question. The same is perhaps true of the ECJ's judgment requiring employers to maintain meticulous records of their employees' working time.
Intellectual property is another area ripe with issues that could be subject to "departure from retained EU case-law" by the UK courts. One example is the extent to which UK copyright law offers protection for product designs. The UK's copyright legislation was designed to restrict such protection, with works needing to fall into relatively narrow categories of work (e.g. "artistic craftsmanship") and fulfil high hurdles (e.g. case-law requiring both craftmanship and aesthetic appeal). Protection for product designs in the UK has traditionally been left largely to the separate regimes specifically for designs.
Recent ECJ decisions have called such approaches by EU member states' national laws into question. The ECJ has said that the only test required for a product design to benefit from copyright protection is the same originality test that applies to all copyright works – namely, relevant creativity on the part of the author. No additional requirement, such as one of aesthetic appeal, can be imposed by a member state's law. Interestingly, there is a CA case on copyright protection for a fabric design which raises precisely these issues and is currently listed to be heard by 31 March 2021 (Response Clothing Ltd v Edinburgh Woollen Mill Ltd). This could provide an early test for the forthcoming new rules, if the power to depart from retained EU law is extended.
The UK left the EU at 11pm (UK time) on 31 January 2020, and the transition period came to an end on 31 December 2020. The Trade and Cooperation Agreement reached on Christmas Eve 2020 sets out the shape of the ongoing future relationship between the UK and the EU and provides some degree of certainty for UK businesses.

Meet 13-year-old boy with a unique look: he has some of the longest eyelashes in the world
When the eyelashes of Muin Bachonaev, a 13-year-old boy from Russia, grew to 4.5 centimeters in length, the guy was entered into the Book of Records.
His eyelashes were recognized as the longest in the country. However, since then they have become even longer, the parents of the student assure.
The Bachonaev family are emigrants. They moved to Russia (Moscow) from their native Tajikistan in 2010. In total, the Bachonaevs have four children. But the most unusual of them, of course, is Muin. Since birth, the whole family has noticed: he has clearly unusual eyelashes.
Muin himself is an absolutely ordinary person. He says that he lives like all children. He is used to eyelashes, and they do not cause him any inconvenience.
Bachonaev's appearance really becomes a revelation for many. But he tries not to pay attention to such things.
Like millions of his peers around the world, Muin loves football and dreams of becoming a famous football player in the future.
After Bachonaev was born, concerned doctors advised to examine him in order to find out how dangerous such an appearance could be.
However, everything turned out to be normal: the guy is absolutely healthy!
And as for eyelashes, this is nothing more than a funny genetic feature and does not pose any danger.
Bachonaev's parents did not cut their eyelashes on the advice of doctors, but, on the contrary, allowed them to grow further.
This has already made Muin the guy with the longest eyelashes in Russia. However, this is not enough for his parents: they want to break the world record.
One guy from the United States of America has already reached 6 centimeters in eyelashes! And given the very rapid growth of Muin's hair, he will soon be able to beat this record, his father is sure.

On June 9, the editor-in-chief of the Russian version of Forbes, Nikolai Uskov, was dismissed from his post, the media group ACMG, which holds a license for the issue of the magazine in Russia , reported . Acting appointed Nikolai Mazurin, previously held the post of chief editor.
The reasons for the dismissal of Uskov and representatives of the media group were called different. The ACMG claims that it violated labor discipline. However, the former glavred believes that he was pressured, and the owner intervened in the Red policy.
The position of the media group ACMG
According to Dmitri Ozman, director of public relations, the reason for the dismissal was "dissatisfaction with the quality of Uskov's work, systematic violations of labor discipline, as well as a clause of the labor agreement" on non-competition. "
The representative of ACMG specified to RBC that under the contract Uskov had no right to participate in "third-party events of other brands", but repeatedly violated this rule. In which projects Uskov participated, the ACMG was not told. Uskov wrote in Facebook that he was fired for taking part in the program "Special Opinion" on the radio station Ekho Moskvy. According to RBC, he attended the broadcasts on May 15 and 29, and the employer took it as "a disrespectful reason for absence from the workplace."
This is not a one-time decision [on dismissal] – negotiations on the termination of cooperation on the basis of a settlement agreement with Uskov began long ago, but he refused all the proposed options and continued to systematically violate the agreements and labor discipline, so the company was forced to unilaterally terminate the contract with him.
representative of ACMG
According to Vedomosti sources, the owner of ACMG Alexander Fedotov decided to dismiss Uskov in late May 2018. According to the newspaper's interlocutors, "recently" the editor-in-chief and the owner have constantly clashed and Fedotov regularly threatened to fire Uskov.
Position of Uskov
According to Uskov last week, Fedotov summoned him and offered to part with the agreement of the parties. He also offered him compensation, "a little less than 100 thousand dollars." But Uskov refused, because he considers the amount "too big".
Fedotov perfectly understands why, in a situation where he does not pay royalties to authors, photographers and agencies for half a year, delays and does not pay salaries to the staff of Forbes (from the end of March), owes millions of rubles to the printing house, does not pay taxes, rent, etc., , he, nevertheless, has to offer Uskov almost a year's salary.

Former Glavred Forbes
After the rating of the highest-paid executives of the largest companies in the fall of 2016, employees suspected Fedotov of interfering in editorial policy. The rating is a dash near the name of the president of VTB Andrei Kostin and the authors suspected that the figure was not published at the request of Fedotov.
Sources of Vedomosti reported that journalists wrote about this to the owner of the newspaper and reminded him of the promise not to interfere in editorial policy. Some editorial staff had no evidence of interference, so they wanted Fedotov to clarify the situation.
According to Uskov, his relationship with Fedotov "changed dramatically" after the scandal with the seizure of information about the salary of Kostin. He said that before the release of the rating, a meeting took place, at which were Deputy Editor-in-Chief Nikolai Mazurin and rating author Elena Berezanskaya. Then Fedotov agreed to leave the rating of salaries in the existing form, but later, while Uskov was on vacation, he "pressed" on Mazurin and the salary disappeared from the magazine.
About what happened after, many of you know: a collective letter addressed to the president of ACMG, the dismissal of Elena Zubova, publications in the press, court proceedings, the testimony of our editors Berezanskaya and Abakumova in court, more publications in the press, an inspection visit by Americans.
After that, Uskov wrote to Fedotov a letter condemning "gross and unacceptable actions", but the owner tried to change the charter of the editorial board. According to the former chief editor, he tried to turn it "into an obedient tool of his whims and fantasies." When Uskov refused to sign the new rules, the pressure on him began to increase: in September 2017 Fedotov tried to dismiss him on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the magazine.
At once I will make a reservation, in attempts of Fedotov to interfere with editorial policy is not present and there were no signs of pressure of "a bloody mode". I think that the "bloody regime" can hardly imagine who this Fedotov is.
The former editor-in-chief also added that he intends to file a lawsuit against Fedotov. In a conversation with The Bell, he explained that he considers his dismissal to be illegal and intends to appeal him in court to make the story public. According to Uskov, he "refused a generous monetary compensation in the amount of 9 salaries" to tell about the pressure on the editorial board.
The position of Mazurin
Uskov also expressed the hope that the editor-in-chief will be Nikolai Mazurin, who was appointed temporarily acting.
Mazurin told RBC that he would lead the editorial board "without the prefix of the acting president" only if "the owner agrees to fulfill his terms", the most important of which is non-interference in editorial policy. He declined to comment on Uskov's statements about Fedotov's intervention in the Red policy.
Mazurin added that he made corrections to the rating of salaries of the leaders of the largest companies in Russia.
Indeed, the decision to remove a specific figure from this rating was taken by me.

The October report to the Community on Audit progress, prepared for the AGM. See also (short) Report to AGM and reports for all others. Previous. Next.
Critical Systems are now unblocked.
The plan to move the systems worked well, see blog for earlier report. Only minor problems were noted.
Without these things, or more precisely, without the systems administration team being comfortable with these things, we should wait.
physical access to the signing server involves two administrators present at all times, therefore dual control.
access to the core server is logged via a revision control system, therefore 4 eyes.
This is a good start. We can improve it over time. Let's work with that for now.
An attempt to create new roots bogged down on procedures. Clearly, creating a procedure where we are sure that the software is correct, the machines are safe and the randoms are good is not easy.
As we know, there is too much work for one person. Also, the principles of security and governance require several people to do and watch the work. In the next few months, the Board and systems administration team will be looking for people to help. There are many small jobs, speak to them.
Important Policy steps are now overtaking the critical systems as the main source of concern.
One CPS bug is now resolved, one remains: email/domain checking.
Notification of the CCA to our Members is critical.
Important steps with the CAcert Community Agreement are still to be done. Checkboxes to Agreement, CAP forms on the main site, Members not notified.
Policy group voted that all information in a certificate is Verified, see p20081016. This means a commonName (CN=) could be either checked by some process or Assured. But, either way, there must be a verification of some form.
This problem is now resolved in policy terms; but the details have to be worked out for the case of Organisation CNs, and the CPS needs to be updated to show the solution.
The other "bug" in the CPS remains unresolved -- Domain / Email checking. See Domain and email checking for details. And Previous report. This might not be re-addressed until the new year, as everyone has a full task list until then. However this will slow down some important programmes.
Reminders for new year: The Assurance Policy, now in binding DRAFT, might be ready for careful review, then voting to POLICY. See here: DRAFT form. The Exceptions: TTP, Super-Assurer, Junior, etc. Coming soon to a Policy debate near you.
Arbitration addressed and dealt with its first important case: closure of an account, and all the difficult questions surrounding this. Basically, data protection says one thing, and the concept of CAs says another. See the Ruling for how that turned out. Arbitration forms an important part of governance because it cleans up the difficult parts left over by Policy. Together they work very well; apart, they struggle alone.
Taking the Security Manual from its current 1st cut form to DRAFT may be the next big emerging challenge.
the commonName needs to be documented according to (new) verified policy, as above.
the relative responsibilities need to be laid out in the OAP: Organisation Assurer, O-Admin, Organisation, and the individuals inside the organisation.
the suggested feature of automatic certificate populating needs to be documented and tied into the various policy statements: verification, keys security, etc.
All the above suggests -- to me -- that the OAP now needs to be revised, and that OA will miss the boat when a first audit report is done, below. At the least, we need the above things documented in order to get a better view.
In the three or so years since Audit work started, things have changed. One difference is the evolution of a tighter Webtrust specification called "Extended Validation." This has shifted Mozilla's posture towards a two-track approach: "EV" and "non-EV".
The former is a fairly high bar, the latter is a relatively low bar. This has raised the question whether CAcert wants to take the high road or the low road. Discussions with the Board concluded that while it might be OK to pursue the low bar in the short term, CAcert's standards are aimed at the high bar, and beyond.
The proposal then is that in the short term, we concentrate the audit on the Assured, Individual Members. This would mean: create the root and subroot for Assured Members, audit that offering and service, and deliver an opinion.
Then, at a later time or in parallel, we would work on and finish the subroot for unassured Members (formerly known as the Class 1 root or the Anonymous root), awaiting the CPS email/domain bug fixing. Also, same for Organisation Assurance (subroot), working on the package identified above.
Phase 1 of the Audit Funding agreement has now been agreed as complete by NLnet and the Board. This was primarily because of the successful move of the critical systems, a major milestone. Moving to phase 2 brings in 9.000 euros from NLnet, evenly divided between auditor, expenses and work budgets.
This report is presented to the Community, for the Annual General Meeting of the Association, 7th November 2007.
Also note there is a major presentation requested at LISA, 13th November. This will cover the audit's perspective of the history. As audit's job is to look at the critical aspects, and ignore any positive feel-good marketing, this presentation will be highly critical of all; put your hard hats on!
The next 2-monthly report should be around January.

Know the legal protections available for your savings and investments.
In the wake of turbulence in the financial markets, it's worth reviewing the legal protections available for assets held by banks, credit unions and securities dealers.
Generally, deposit accounts at banks and savings and loans insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are insured up to $250,000 per depositor per bank. FDIC insurance covers demand deposits—those that provide immediate access to cash, such as checking, savings and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, as well as money market deposit accounts—and time deposits, such as certificates of deposit (CDs). It covers both principal and any interest accrued as of the date that an insured bank closes.
FDIC insurance does not cover mutual funds, stocks, bonds, life-insurance policies, annuities or other securities even if they w ere bought through an FDIC-insured bank. It also does not cover U.S. Treasury securities, because they are backed separately by the full faith and credit of the federal government, or safe deposit boxes. You can't increase your protection simply by opening more than one account in y our name at the same bank.
For example, splitting the money between a checking and a savings account or opening accounts at different branches of the same bank does not increase your coverage. However, deposits that represent different categories of ownership may be independently insured. For example, a joint account qualifies for up to $ 250,000 of coverage for each person named as a joint owner. That coverage is in addition to the $ 250,000 maximum coverage for each person's aggregated single-owner accounts at that bank.
Hence, a married couple with three accounts at one bank—they each have $250,000 in an individual account, and they also have $200,000 in a joint account—would qualify for FDIC insurance on the entire $700,000. The limit on the amount protected in one or more retirement accounts at one bank also is $ 250,000; this is separate from the $250,000 coverage of individual accounts. Remember, however, that FDIC insurance applies only to deposit accounts, and not to any securities held in an IRA or other retirement account. There also may be additional safety nets.
In some states, a state-chartered savings bank is required to have additional insurance to cover any losses beyond the FDIC limits. Some banks also may participate in the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS), which enables a bank to spread large CD deposits among multiple banks while keeping the amount at each individual bank, including the original bank, within FDIC insurance limits. You do not have to be a U.S. citizen or resident for your account to receive FDIC protection. According to the FDIC, no depositor has ever lost a penny of funds that w ere covered by FDIC insurance. An online calculator at the FDIC' s website, fdic.gov, can help you estimate the total FDIC coverage on your deposit accounts.
Member-share accounts at most credit unions are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). It is administered by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), which, like the FDIC, is an independent agency of the federal government and is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. (Some credit unions are not federally insured but are overseen by state regulators; they typically have private credit insurance.) NCUSIF insurance is similar to FDIC insurance; it covers share accounts, share certificates and share draft accounts, but not investment products sold through a credit union. It covers single-owner accounts up to $250,000 per customer per institution. Retirement accounts such as IRAs and Keoghs have separate coverage up to $250,000. As with bank deposit accounts, independent coverage may be available for different categories of ownership. You can estimate your existing coverage by using the calculator at the NCUA's website: ncua.gov.
Most brokerage accounts are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Unlike the FDIC, the SIPC is not a government agency but a nonprofit corporation funded by broker- dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. (A non- SIPC member must disclose this fact.) SIPC was created by Congress in 1970 to help return customer property should a broker-dealer or clearing firm experience insolvency, unauthorized trading or securities that are lost or missing from a customer's account. Many brokerages also extend coverage beyond the SIPC limits with additional private insurance.
If a member firm became insolvent, SIPC would typically either act as trustee or ask a court to appoint a trustee to supervise the transfer of customer securities and cash. The SEC requires brokerages and clearing firms to segregate customer accounts from their proprietary assets and funds. SIPC covers a maximum of $ 500,000 per individual account (including up to $ 100,000 in cash) at a given firm. As with banks, total coverage can be higher for multiple accounts at one institution. For example, a married couple could have two individual accounts with $ 500,000 worth of coverage each, plus a joint account that would bring their aggregated coverage for that firm to $1.5 million.
Each of your retirement accounts at a firm also is gener ally eligible for another $500,000 of SIPC coverage (including up to $100,000 in cash). SIPC doesn't protect against market risk or price fluctuations. If shares lose value before a trustee is appointed, that loss of value is not covered by SIPC. In general, SIPC covers notes, stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other shares in investment companies. It does not cover investments that are not registered with the SEC , such as certain investment contracts, limited partnerships, fixed annuity contracts, currency, gold, silver, commodity futures contracts or commodities options.


Someone on the city vs. city page put up this helpful link, so I thought I would post the Tennessee statistics for those of you who are curious how they break down.
Obviously, cities tend to be far more diverse in their ethnic and racial populations than suburbs, and especially rural areas (though West Tennessee tends to have a higher black/white ratio in rural areas than the rest of the state)...but for those curious, especially those considering moving here, this might give you a better look at the makeup of the general area, rather than strictly a city or county breakdown.
Metros will be listed according to overall size. These statistics are from the 2010 Census, so there have been some changes in total population, but probably only a slight change in the percentages.
If anyone is interested, I might also add the top 10 city and/or top 10 county breakdowns -- or, decade by decade changes in overall racial/ethnic population and percentage (going back to 1980).

In 2012, I can't figure out why this matters.
The only reason I put this here is a resource for those curious, especially the ones who are moving here that have a lot of questions about an area's demographics.
Not surprising, since East Tn is mostly white.
You should visit the Nashville forum if you wonder why it matters.
Those are interesting. Thanks for posting.
I've lived in other parts of the country besides Knoxville.
I've wandered through the Nashville forum over the years but don't go there on a regular basis. I've been a member of CD for a long time, though, well before Nashville had its own forum and never read anything regarding this issue. So I don't understand what you mean. Why does it matter?
Is there a significant Hispanic community in Nashville?
Similar threads exist in a multitude of other city-data forums where Census statistics are discussed and dissected. Such discussions might be of very little interest to some people, and some might even find them offensive, but others do find them interesting or even necessary. The U.S. Census spends a small fortune tallying our nation's various racial and ethnic backgrounds, so it is not a taboo topic. As long as it's discussed civily and politely, there's no need to stifle such discussion.
Philosophically, I know it "shouldn't" matter. That would be nice.
But based on the number of race-related queries on the Nashville forum, it obviously matters a lot to many.
Especially in the past year Nashville has attracted the attention of tons of creatives and alternatives from all over the country, and they have been asking on the Nashville forum how diverse Nashville is. They mean, Will I be the only one of my color/ethnicity?
For comparison, here are the city breakdowns for those metro areas.
I also included the percentage of each racial/ethnic group that the city makes up of the entire metro area. There are a lot of numbers here and I don't have columns, so it might be a little confusing.
The first row represents the entire city and it's population, followed by the metro population in italics. The percentage represents the city population as a whole compared to the metropolitan population.
The next 5 rows are the individual racial and ethnic groups, followed by their raw population within the city, and the percentage of the overall city population that makes up. The next number (in italics) is the raw population of that group within the metro, followed by the percentage of the raw city population of the group as compared to the overall metro population of that group. To simplify that, I'm basically saying that in the last column, X% of the total population of this group lives within the boundaries of the city proper.
Also, if there were even distribution of the groups between city and metro, than the percentages in the right hand column should match the percentage at the top right (city pop as a % of metro pop).
Feel free to ask if you need more clarification.
**note, for Kingsport and Bristol, I combined the two for simplicity. They are not too dissimilar in their makeup. I did not include Bristol, VA (I know, that's kind of an omission -- but for one, this thread is about Tennessee, and two, that would have required even more work).

One of the things I like about Knoxville is our wide international diversity. Too bad that doesn't show up too well in these polls.
I suppose Kurds are considered Asian - is that why Nashville's number is relatively high?

SC Ship Models
RiceMaiden Models
1/64 Anvil Hornet F7A Military
Two years ago, the earliest Star Citizen model I ever completed was the Origin M50. While physically the first I don't think it truly counts. It was more of a proof of concept than an attempt at actually making something for the SC community. While the end result was not half bad, that model was done in a CAD system I no longer use and on a laser cutter that is just gathering cobwebs in my shop.
The model immediately after the M50 was the Anvil Super Hornet. The Super Hornet remains one of my most popular models in my opinion. It was used as a trophy for BritizenCon and has traveled the furthest for fan events. From the simplified geometry, laser cut wooden guns and lack of any assembly aids, it was really the genesis of what would become RiceMaiden Models.
Having since finished all 4 of the standard Anvil Hornets, the one remaining outlier was the Military version. While I finished a Military version well over a year ago, I never actually built it. The reason being was that the original F7A was a bit of a mystery. While I had a model to base my work on, it wasn't that visually distinct from the other Hornets. Other than some random winglets, it really ultimately would have looked like a single seat Hornet model with a Super Hornet ball turret.
With the advent of SC 3.0, the community was shown the reworks of the Hornet models. While the civilian versions got minor updates, the Military version got a major visual overhaul. Often called the "Mk.II" body, it was a sleek hotrod of a Hornet. Smaller intakes, narrower body, and more Anvil like features. The second I laid eyes on the concept shots I knew I had to build one.
Creating the Mk.II body started well over 6 months ago. I ended up making the fatal mistake of trying to modify the original Hornet model into the Mk.II. Not realizing just how different the new model was, my attempts ended up leading to frustration. Eventually I put it on the backburner and moved on.
Armed with a fresh canvas, the final model fell together at a reasonable pace. Utilizing some of the techniques I've developed over the past year, I'd say this model has some of the easiest to assemble "complex" geometry so far. From assembly jigs, 3D printed internal supports, and locking features model assembly was not that time consuming.
Since it hasn't been discussed for a while, I figured I'd briefly address the makeup of my models. As many people know they are a combination of 3D printing and laser cut wood. This was born from a desire to make larger models that could be manufactured and built in one weekend.
Most of my 1/64th scale models use 1/8" thick birch plywood. It's cheap and easy to work with. It works great for making larger panels, wings, and internal supports. I can currently cut out ~4 sheets of a wood an hour. Similar volume products on a 3D printer might take upwards of 20-40 hours worth of printing.
I have been 3D printing for over 8 years. My first printer, a Makerbot Replicator Dual, is still going strong to this day. While I've added two more printers to the bunch over the years, it's a technology I firmly believe in and support. 3D printing for my models represents details and artistic style. Picking out parts that are often complex and visually distinct from the wood gives it a unique look not found in many other styles.
Assembly can often range from an hour (Dragonfly) to upwards of 10 (Prowler). While assembly times have been slowly coming down, my design times have been going up. I'm adding more complexity and building aids to each model… thinking more about the builder than the designer. Ultimately I design the model once… but it could be built upwards of ten to hundreds of times in the future.
Thankfully for as busy as the F7A Mk.II model is, build time was on par with the original Hornet models.
I wanted to thank all of those in the community that support what I do. With your encouragement and passion, none of this would be possible.

De Sneltram Hasselt – Maastricht was een door De Lijn voorgestelde sneltramverbinding van Hasselt naar Maastricht. Het project was een onderdeel van het zogenaamde Spartacusplan, met als doelstelling de OV-verbindingen in Belgisch-Limburg te verbeteren.

In mei 2022 werd door de Vlaamse regering bekendgemaakt dat het plan voor een tram definitief niet doorgaat. Een nieuw voorstel van Vlaamse kant behelst een elektrische (maar geen snelle) trambus (lange gelede bus) op een "maximaal vrije" bedding.

Er is een klassieke busverbinding tussen deze twee steden maar anno 2022 is die door de reisduur van 1 uur en 17 minuten (over 34 kilometer) niet aantrekkelijk.

Spoorwijdte
De spoorwijdte zou 1435 mm (normaalspoor) worden zoals bij de spoorwegen en de Brusselse tram, en niet het meterspoor van de andere Vlaamse tramnetten.

Tracé
Vanaf het station Hasselt ging het tracé via de Mouterijstraat en de Stokerijstraat naar de Kolenkaai. De tramlijn zou hier aansluiten op de Kleine Ring (Thonissenlaan, Martelarenlaan) tot aan het Kolonel Dusartplein. Vervolgens zou de Koning Boudewijnlaan N702 gevolgd worden naar een ondertussen aangelegde openbaarvervoertunnel, onder het kruispunt van de Universiteitslaan (N702) met de Grote Ring. Zowel de sneltram Hasselt – Maastricht als de lijn Hasselt – Genk – Maasmechelen (buslijn, later tramverbinding) zouden van deze tunnel gebruik maken, met een halte. In de bocht die de Universiteitslaan daarna maakt, buigt het tracé af om de Universiteit Hasselt te bedienen. Vanaf Godsheide tot Bilzen zou de sneltram pal naast spoorlijn 34 (Hasselt – Beverst – Luik) lopen. Daarvoor werden alle overwegen in Diepenbeek vervangen door een ondertunneling, bruggen en parallelwegen. Later zullen ook enkele overwegen in de gemeente Bilzen ongelijkvloers gemaakt worden, projecten gefinancierd wordt door zowel de Federale als de Vlaamse regering, wat zelden voorkomt.

Vanaf Bilzen zou de tram op de voormalige spoorlijn 20 (Beverst – Maastricht) rijden. Vanaf Lanaken zou de sneltramlijn een nieuw tracé krijgen ten noorden van de Europalaan, zodat de halte in Lanaken op de plaats van het Europamonument kon komen, dichter bij het dorpscentrum dan het vroegere station. Daarna zou de tram het Albertkanaal oversteken en zou hij als tramtrein het opgeknapte en sinds 2009 voor goederenverkeer gereactiveerde deel van spoorlijn 20 gebruiken vanaf Lanaken tot Maastricht.

Voor het traject in Maastricht bestonden aanvankelijk vijf mogelijkheden, waaronder aanvankelijk het tracé over de Markt verkozen werd. Op 13 mei 2011 werd besloten de Maasboulevard te volgen. De tram zou dan de Maas oversteken via de Wilhelminabrug, om via de Sint Maartenslaan het Station Maastricht te bereiken. Een toekomstige verlenging tot aan het Academisch Ziekenhuis Maastricht werd wenselijk geacht.

De totale lengte bedraagt ongeveer 35 km. Met lijnbussen wordt deze afstand afgelegd in ruim een uur, met de sneltram zou de reistijd teruggebracht worden tot 37 minuten. De lijn zou dertien haltes tellen, waarvan drie in Hasselt en drie in Maastricht. Naast de tijdwinst hoopte men in Maastricht dat de tram het openbaar vervoer aantrekkelijker zou maken en op die manier een oplossing zou bieden voor de groeiende verkeersdrukte in het stadscentrum. Ook betekende de tram een betere ontsluiting van het toekomstige woon- en werkgebied Belvédère.

Geschiedenis
Op 30 juni 2008 tekenden de Vlaamse en Nederlandse ministers van Verkeer een overeenkomst, hierin gevolgd door gedeputeerde Janssen en wethouder Nuss op 13 december 2011.

Op 23 oktober 2009 werd het ruimtelijk uitvoeringsplan (RUP) voor de aanleg te Bilzen goedgekeurd door de Vlaamse regering. Men voorzag de opening in 2021. Eind september 2011 raamde men de totale kostprijs ervan op ongeveer 200 miljoen euro (infrastructuur, trams en bouw van stelplaats samen). Volgens ramingen zou de tramlijn jaarlijks 6,8 miljoen reizigers vervoeren.

De werkzaamheden zouden starten in 2014, dit werd uitgesteld tot 2015. De openstelling was aanvankelijk gepland voor 2017.

Wilhelminabrug
Eind februari 2015 werd bekend dat de stad Maastricht de tramlijn "voorlopig" wil inkorten tot aan de linker Maasoever en niet in het Station Maastricht aan de overkant, zoals contractueel overeengekomen. Dit om een dure investering in een nieuwe brug over de Maas te vermijden. De aanleg van een nieuwe Wilhelminabrug werd geraamd op 100 miljoen euro. Deze beslissing zette voor Vlaanderen het hele project op de helling.

Op 20 oktober 2015 besloot de Maastrichtse gemeenteraad naar aanleiding van de variantenstudie dat de tram ingekort wordt tot het Mosae Forum in de binnenstad. Een tracé via de bestaande spoorbrug laat geen bediening van de binnenstad toe, wat de stad Maastricht verkiest. Daarbij zou een eindhalte aan de Maas in plaats van aan het station nauwelijks een invloed hebben op het aantal reizigers van de tram.

Daarop liet de Vlaamse minister-president Geert Bourgeois weten dat de lijn er niet zou komen als deze niet zou eindigen bij Station Maastricht, zoals contractueel voorzien. Hierop kwam het dossier vast in een patstelling en Nederland dreigde met een rechtszaak wegens contractbreuk. Geert Bourgeois stelde voor om het geld voor de sneltram te investeren in de twee andere Spartacus-lijnen (lijn 2 naar Maasmechelen en lijn 3 naar Neerpelt) en de Limburgse Noord-Zuid. Anderen haalden oudere plannen terug om spoorlijn 20 te reactiveren voor treinverkeer, en de gouverneur van Limburg gaf aan niet meer te geloven in de realisatie van het project.

Omdat de studies voor het dossier gebaseerd waren op een tracé over de bestaande Wilhelminabrug tot aan het station en er bij de wijziging van het bestemmingsplan al voldoende waarschuwingen waren dat er grote risico's waren verbonden aan het gekozen traject over de brug, werden de wijzigingen van de bestemmingsplannen vernietigd door de Nederlandse Raad van State.

In de loop van 2016 werd er gewerkt aan een oplossing voor het probleem van de eindhalte. Er werd een studie gemaakt die het budgettaire effect van de inkorting van de tramlijn voor De Lijn moest inschatten. In een van de scenario's zou de Nederlandse bijdrage aan het project verhoogd worden.

Op 15 december 2016 werd een nieuwe overeenkomst gesloten die de weg vrijmaakt voor de tramverbinding tussen Hasselt en Maastricht. Er werd vooropgesteld dat de eerste tram vanaf 2021 zou kunnen gaan rijden.

Verdere problemen
Eind mei 2017 werd de datum opnieuw met twee jaar opgeschoven naar 2023. In mei 2019 heeft de Raad van State bezwaren van omwonenden in Maastricht tegen het bestemmingsplan ongegrond verklaard, waardoor de aanleg van de tramlijn van start kon gaan na de aanbesteding van de werkzaamheden. Wel werd een maximum gesteld aan de geluidsbelasting voor de omgeving. Als er geen verdere vertragingen kwamen, kon de aanleg in 2022 beginnen en kon de tram vanaf 2024 rijden.

In 2021 was de realisatie echter nog niet dichterbij. Al in 2019 hadden twee van de drie consortia zich teruggetrokken uit de aanbesteding. Van de overblijvers lagen de offertes ver boven de begroting van ruim 300 miljoen euro, voor de infrastructuur zowel als het materieel.

Bovendien besloot het gemeentebestuur van Hasselt het eindpunt van de tram op afstand van het station Hasselt te leggen. Omdat de tram toch ook al niet bij het station Maastricht zou komen, hadden de Nederlandse provincie Limburg en de gemeente Maastricht in 2015 aan het Vlaams gewest een schadevergoeding betaald van 6 miljoen euro, die nu werd teruggeëist.

Annulering van tramlijn en voorstel voor buslijn (trambus)
De Vlaamse minister van Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken Lydia Peeters opperde in 2021 in plaats van een tramlijn een hoogwaardige buslijn (met trambussen) aan te leggen, net zoals bij de tweede voorgenomen tramlijn van het Spartacusplan, Hasselt - Genk - Maasmechelen.

In mei 2022 werd door de Vlaamse regering bekendgemaakt dat het plan voor een tram definitief niet doorgaat. Ze wil in de plaats een elektrische (maar geen snelle) trambus (lange gelede bus) laten rijden op een "maximaal vrije" bedding. Als doel op langere termijn noemde de minister een oplossing als Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit (ART), een lange gelede bus die gebruik maakt van optische geleiding.

Voorbereidende werkzaamheden
Er zijn al enkele werkzaamheden gedaan ter voorbereiding op de sneltram:
 In Hasselt zijn, ten westen van het station, rond 2010 in een busbaan al enkele honderden meters tramrails aangelegd. Na het annuleren van de tramplannen is het mee aanleggen van de rails een groot nutteloos werk.
 In Hasselt is in 2021 ten zuiden van de Koning Boudewijnlaan/Universiteitslaan een busbaan geopend, met een nieuwe OV-tunnel onder de R71 Gouverneur Verwilghensingel, waar de mogelijkheid was voorzien om later de tramlijn aan te leggen. Deze busbaan en tunnel worden gebruikt voor de buslijnen van Hasselt naar UHasselt / Genk, aan de halte Provinciehuis, en zijn dus niet nutteloos.
Niet voor de sneltram, maar voor goederenspoorverkeer vanaf de papierfabrieken van Sappi in Lanaken is vanaf 2007 de spoorlijn 20 tussen Maastricht en Lanaken opgeknapt in Nederland en België. Er hebben slechts enkele goederentreinen over deze spoorlijn gereden, voor in 2016 de sluiting werd aangekondigd.. Ook in de plannen voor de tram zou die op een deel van deze spoorlijn rijden.

Controverse rond het plan

Pro
De sneltramlijn werd voor het eerst voorgesteld door Steve Stevaert in zijn verkiezingsprogramma van 2004, nadat Limburg jarenlang tevergeefs bij de NMBS een heropening van de spoorlijn 20 Hasselt – Maastricht had gevraagd. Na de verkiezingen werd het opgenomen in het regeerakkoord van de regering-Leterme. De Lijn zou uitvoeren wat de NMBS niet wilde.

Minister Hilde Crevits stelde dat er onderzoek verricht was naar het mogelijk aantal grensoverschrijdende verplaatsingen tijdens het zomerseizoen van 6,8 miljoen reizigers op jaarbasis. Daarbij verkoos men de duurdere minder milieubelastende elektrische sneltram in plaats van de dieselvariant. In de kostprijs waren naast de investeringen ook de nieuwe door Europa opgelegde spoorbeveiligingssystemen verrekend. Volgens het onderzoek bleken de geraamde inkomsten de exploitatiekosten te dekken. Men was op zoek naar een privé-partner die in zee wilde gaan in dit project.

Contra
Al in 2007 weerklonken de eerste kritieken. Het ACV vond het project te duur en ijverde voor de reactivering van lijn 20 als spoorlijn. De volgende jaren werd de kostprijs steeds hoger geraamd, namelijk van 50 miljoen euro (2009) tot 100 miljoen (2010) en zelfs 300 miljoen (2011). De Lijn mikt op een potentieel aantal reizigers van 6,8 miljoen per jaar, volgens tegenstanders is dit cijfer onrealistisch. In augustus 2011 kreeg het Spartacusplan negatief advies van de Inspectie van Financiën. Het gebrek aan langetermijnvisie, mankracht en capaciteit bedreigden de concretisering van het project.

Eind december 2011 kwam een rapport van de Inspectie van Financiën naar boven dat de haalbaarheid van het plan in vraag stelde. Het rapport stelt: Het dossier is onvolledig, niet transparant, de kostprijs is meer dan verdubbeld en de inkomstencijfers zijn vaag. De inkomsten worden overschat en de uitgaven onderschat. Het geschatte aantal reizigers van 6.000 per dag berust op speculatieve gegevens. Het rapport gaat uit van een bezettingspercentage van 20 %. Men neemt de verdubbeling van de kostprijs (van 55 naar 128 miljoen euro), het exploitatieverlies van 17,5 miljoen euro per jaar, en de erg vage inkomstencijfers op de korrel.

Verder worden veel overwegen gesloten (voor lijn 34 lag deze beslissing tevens bij Infrabel). Velen opperden opnieuw dat men best gewoon Spoorweg 20 vanaf Hasselt als treinverbinding zou reactiveren, hetgeen slechts 20 miljoen euro zou kosten. "Trams zijn enkel geschikt als vervoermiddel binnen steden", vond onder andere LDD en actiegroep Op het Goede Spoor. Bovendien zou een reactivering van Spoorlijn 20 ook ten goede komen aan het goederenvervoer, dat richting Duitsland nu via spoorlijn 24 moet. In 2011 werd Spoorlijn 20 nog opnieuw in gebruik genomen tussen Lanaken en Maastricht.
