'I think an urgent statement or personal explanation by the Speaker is warranted,' said Moonilal yesterday.
Moonilal was responding to an Express report which stated that Annisette George sought to appeal to religion in dealing with Opposition Chief Whip David Lee last week Friday after she received his letter explaining the reason Moonilal had failed to deliver an apology as required by the House of Representatives.
Moonilal had been directed to apologise for his statement, 'Da is why Snake have lead for you', which he made in the House last year.
Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar told reporters on Wednesday that a 'very disturbing angle' to the whole issue was the decision of the Speaker to summon Lee and to tell him, among other things, 'I am a Catholic and you are a Catholic.'
Persad-Bissessar said when Lee left that meeting and returned to the chamber, the Speaker sent him correspondence with 'several quotations from the Bible'. Moonilal said yesterday that the matter has been bothering him.
'The purported exchanges between the Chief Whip and the Speaker had to do with my matter. It was not that they met at church for communion, they met as a result of my matter. It was not at a wedding or at the supermarket, so I deserve to know what was that about! At first sight this is more alarming than 'snake have lead for you', said in cross-talk picong. The Speaker and the Whip exchange was not parliamentary banter. The Speaker is duty-bound to explain these allegations,' said Moonilal.
He said these words were uttered in the precincts of the Parliament so they may constitute a matter that can go before the Privilege Committee if properly constituted.
'Frighteningly, it appears to smack of religious bigotry. I shudder to think what was meant by those two bizarre events. We should indeed be wary if decisions are made by anyone based on the concept of religious and cultural superiority. This type of thinking has led to irreparable damage to human civilisation across the planet. It is the basis of hate, violence and dictatorship. It is an attempt to defeat the human spirit. Such thought if given currency is as close as you can get to Hitler's views on the Jews,' said Moonilal.
He said he wanted to remind the national community that persons in public life must at all times respect religion, race and class.

"Yes, in the book of Psalms," I said.
The elevator stopped and we walked out, headed in separate directions. "It's lovely," I said. We both smiled and that was that.
And it wasn't until the following day that I realized how much I had needed that small encounter.
As a self-employed author and leadership coach, a mom of teenagers, and an authority figure for two enthusiastic dogs (one of them a puppy), natural opportunities for selah are rare. I tend to keep moving. Even my times of personal Bible study and prayer tend to be times of disciplined activity. But that afternoon I silenced social media, didn't read the news, spent some time in prayer, and let myself shed some tears that had been hanging around waiting for an opportunity to make an appearance. I allowed myself to acknowledge before God that I felt overwhelmed by people's pain and fear–the pain of friends, that of strangers, and my own. That I was struggling with some losses that were piling on. That I had almost nothing to offer–few words, no good solutions, very little understanding. The best I could do was pause and make an attempt at reverence and reflection.
Regardless of its specific meaning, the notation was important enough that it was recorded. And it was preserved as part of Scripture. Although some modern translations have relegated it to a footnote, my guess is, these songs were not complete without selah.
Neither are our lives. We need rest, and we need reverent reflection. Our words and actions can hurt. We need to pause. More than ever, we need to intentionally carve selah into our lives. We live in a world where it is easy to cram our lives so full of musts, shoulds, and wants that we lose touch with the only one who can offer true rest to all those who are weary and burdened (Matthew 11:28-30). In times like these, pauses are wise. Reverent pauses in God's presence are vital.
This is my blogging version of selah. Will you join me today?

When it comes to Orlando asphalt paving, no one does it better than ACPLM. Our team is steadfastly determined to provide the best asphalt paving services and products in all of Orlando. Tell us your exact paving needs and desires then watch us get to work. ACPLM has been paving throughout the greater Orlando area for over three decades. We are the full-service asphalt paving contractor you have been looking for.
We are your Orlando asphalt paving experts. If you have any question or concern about asphalt, our asphalt aficionados can help. Asphalt is best defined as a composite material used for parking lots, roads and driveways. It is used as a binding agent and combined with mineral aggregate before being implemented in a layered manner, compacted and cured to stand the test of time.
Asphalt is used on highways and paved roads throughout the United States. In fact, upwards of 95 percent of our country's highways and paved roads are made of asphalt. Approximately 550 million tons of this material are used every single year.
Part of the beauty of asphalt is that it is recyclable. In fact, asphalt is the country's most recycled material. Every asphalt pavement can be dug up and reused. Furthermore, the use of asphalt does not result in harmful materials leaking into our sensitive environment. The bottom line is that asphalt is 100 percent recyclable and environmentally friendly.
Every asphalt pavement is designed to stand the test of time without busting the property owner's budget. Asphalt surfaces require minimal maintenance and offer upwards of a quarter-century of service when properly maintained.
Asphalt paving is the safest possible choice for driveways, parking lots, roads and highways. This material's dark color minimizes glare that would otherwise prove dangerous for drivers. Asphalt also permits clear vision for road and highway stripes.
The construction of asphalt roads can be done quite rapidly, minimizing construction delays, traffic jams and other potential problems on the busy roads. When constructed properly, asphalt can last indefinitely, further reducing the odds of construction-related accidents. This material even minimizes noise pollution, heightening driver and pedestrian awareness of surrounding traffic.
ACPLM has the experience, knowledge and friendly customer service you need. We have worked on commercial properties of all types across the past 30 years. Our present and former clients range from apartment buildings to homeowners associations, schools, colleges, retail stores, industrial buildings, shopping centers, religious institutions, car dealerships, hospitals and beyond.
Our aim is to provide highly professional, accurate and lasting Orlando asphalt paving services and maintenance. Contact our office and you will find our team is as friendly and efficient as it gets. We want to secure your business for the long haul. Our hope is that our high-quality work inspires you to recommend ACPLM to colleagues who will also form long-lasting relationships with our Orlando asphalt paving business.

DWG survey on organised editing
The Data Working Group is conducting a survey as part of its work on a policy covering paid mapping.
When OpenStreetMap started, it was largely a project of hobbyists contributing to OSM in their spare time. They chose freely what to map and which tools to use, and they took individual responsibility for their contributions.
The continuing growth and popularity of OSM have also brought more and more organised mapping efforts, mostly in the form of companies setting up paid data teams to improve OSM data in specific regions or for specific use cases, but also unpaid groups like school classes that are directed to work on OSM.
These organised mapping efforts are an integral part of today's OSM contribution landscape and, when done well, help make OSM better and more widely known.
In order to ensure good communication, and a level playing field, between individual community members and organised editing groups, the OSMF Data Working Group has been tasked with developing guidelines for organised groups. These guidelines will above all set out some transparency requirements for organised groups – things that are already voluntarily followed by most groups today, like informing the mapping community about which accounts edit for the team.
We have prepared the following survey with a few questions about such a policy to give us a better understanding of what the mapping community expects from such a policy. The survey is aimed at everyone editing (or planning to edit) in OSM, whether as individual mappers or as part of a team, and your answers will help us in fleshing out a draft policy.
Within the scope of the survey, and the policy to be written, we define paid mapping (or paid editing) as any editing in OSM performed by someone who is told by a third party what to map (and potentially also how to map it) and who receives money in exchange. We define other organised mapping (or editing) as any editing that is also steered by a third party, but where no money is paid.
The survey is available at https://osm-dwg.limequery.org/741554

Getting involved in the Operations Working Group
OpenStreetMap has a map display, and more importantly a database of raw map data, and more importantly than that a community of map contributors! All of these things require servers. Big computer systems crunching lots of data and handling lots of internet traffic. This is the realm of the "Operations Working Group", who make the decisions and take the actions that keep these servers ticking, and keep OpenStreetMap (the map, the database, and the community) up and running.
Difficult technical work which only a few people are directly involved in. But today Andy Allan blogged about how they're working on getting more people involved in the Operations Working Group.
The OpenStreetMap project is nearly 12 years old, and we've been very lucky to have a small team of talented volunteer system administrators doing a fantastic job over that time, spending donated money wisely and meeting some huge scaling challenges for the core infrastructure.
"There's a pride in keeping OpenStreetMap humming along and not causing too much of a fuss"
But increasingly OWG have been quietly enhancing their server configuration management approaches. All code/configuration scripts are maintained openly in github, and recently the team are looking to make this easier to test, so more people can feel confident in proposing improvements to the server set-up.
"The goal is to allow future developers to improve each cookbook using only their own laptops"
You can donate to the OpenStreetMap foundation, which will help fund our servers. But you can also get involved in improving the server set-up, and it's gradually getting easier to be more directly involved. If you can help, read Andy Allan's blog post to learn more. Thanks to Andy and the rest of the Operations Working Group for all their hard work.

Engineering Working Group + Hack Weekend
cc-by2.0 Patrick Hoesly on flickr
Back in August we announced the formation of the Engineering Working Group, tasked with trying to attract more developers by lowering barriers to entry. Since then we've seen some good technical coding work and other achievements in and around the activities of this group:
OpenStreetMap is now rolling with rails version 3, thanks largely to the hard-working Tom Hughes. Besides deploying it, and ironing out a few nasty problems with sessions, he did the work of porting the code over. The website and API code needed to take account of differences and new features of rails 3, particularly the use of AREL for database querying.
Kai Krueger has packaged this rails code, and also Mapnik and mod_tile, into an unbuntu PPA. This packaging system offers a very simple way to install these tools (and keep them up to date) on ubuntu/debian . We're currently testing this, and hope it'll make it much easier for developers to hack on the code for openstreetmap.org.
Working with Mike Migurski we have a more attractive, and more helpful page sitting at planet.openstreetmap.org, the OpenStreetMap data downloads site. Mike, and stamen design, are also now providing "metro extracts" – more manageable (smaller) files for OpenStreetMap data, one city at a time.
In addition to these, the Engineering Working Group has dived head first into the big tasks of improving technical documentation, and tidying up the bug tracker.
Clearly these are things which would happen anyway within the OpenStreetMap developer community, and the achievements are down to the hard work of individual people. But the Engineering Working Group lends a little structure, and provides a forum for taking a step back and looking at these kinds of meta-development. Development which helps development!
You can find out more about the Engineering Working Group on the OSMF site, and anyone is welcome to join in their discussions, which take place every Monday on IRC (details)
London Hack Weekend – 26th, 27th
Perhaps you'd prefer to join in face-to-face? Come along to a "hack weekend"! EWG is also involved in this, and trying to get more developer events happening, in more locations. For the moment though we have one coming up at the end of the week…
See the London Hack Weekend details on the wiki (and sign up there)
Previous hack weekend at the same venue (MapQuest offices)
"An OpenStreetMap 'hack weekend' is a meet-up where we bring along laptops to an office space and spend the weekend doing some technical work to improve OpenStreetMap. This may be development of the "core" components, the editors, or any other side projects and pet projects we fancy hacking on. OpenStreetMap has development tasks sprouting from it in all directions. There's work to do in almost any programming language, as well as tasks like documentation, and even some non-technical graphics design and translation tasks.
We mostly take a fairly unstructured free-form format. People turn up and start beavering away on something, or they turn up and see what they can help with. However we can also run more structured workshops if there is demand"
Whether you can make it to a hack weekend or not, we are always looking for more technical people to help with improving OpenStreetMap.

Ladies, I'm more than happy to invite you to the Ki6 Who Are You? cocktail party that I will be hosting in Antwerp!
On my shopping list at the moment….
There is something about those Isabel Marant girls: loose little dresses, messy hair, boyish jackets and little make-up.
Checked shirts are really a must have for this winter. It's so easy to wear and it looks incredibly cool with a dark jeans or with a leather pants.
OKE, SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED…. Yesterday, I had some meetings in Brussels so I decided to leave a bit earlier to pass by Smets in Brussels.


Roaring Meg Pack Track starts from Tuhoy's Gully car park. You can go on to walk the Circuit Track or Cardrona-Cromwell Pack Track.
From the Tuohys Gully car park an access track climbs steadily up the gully to the 1140 m Tuohys Saddle. Nearing the saddle the marked track forks - the left fork descends to Meg Hut. Following the right fork, the main Roaring Meg Pack Track follows an easy-grade track down to Miners Hut, a privately owned musterers hut. The track goes sideways through some steep sections as it follows the gorge of the Roaring Meg/Te Wai a Korokio.
Mountain bikes, firearms and dogs are not permitted on the track from the conservation boundary to the Roaring Meg Power Station as this crosses a privately owned working farm - access through this section is for walkers and trampers only.
The farm track from the conservation boundary to above the Meg Dam is not well marked. Follow the road down to the Roaring Meg Recreation Reserve, opposite the power station on SH6 in the Kawarau Gorge.
This provides the opportunity to explore part of the Pisa Range and finish where you started. Follow the Roaring Meg Pack Track from the Tuohys Gully car park to Tuohys Saddle. Take the track on the left to Meg Hut and follow the Roaring Meg Stream down to Miners Hut (private). This will involve a number of river crossings. The return journey is via an easy ascent to Tuohys Saddle, then the descent to the car park.
From Meg Hut the poled track climbs through the Pisa Conservation Area's golden tussock grasslands before traversing along one of the areas many prominent ridgelines. After passing through sections of an old water race the track descends a 4WD road to Deep Creek Hut.
The section of track from Deep Creek Hut through Lowburn Station to Swann Road travels through private property on a working farm, to ensure continued access through this section please respect the landowner's access conditions and remain on the marked track.
From Deep Creek Hut, follow the farm road up to the ridge. Signage on a farm gate indicates the start of access through Lowburn Station. The poled route follows the ridge on a farm road for a short distance before dropping steeply down a fence line to an old cattle track. The route sidles along the cattle track until it intersects and again follows a farm road down to the valley floor and the ruins of an old stone cottage. Here you cross the Low Burn for one last uphill climb before crossing through farm paddock to the stile on Swann Road.
Access to the tracks is from Tuohys Gully car park which is off the lower section of the Waiorau Snowfarm Road, 22 km from Wanaka on the Cardrona Valley Road.
Roaring Meg Pack Track: The section from the Roaring Meg Power Station to the conservation boundary crosses a private working farm. To ensure continued access through this section visitors must respect the landowner's conditions: no dogs, mountain bikes or firearms are permitted.
If you are not paying to use their facilities, using the Snow Farm access road to reach the Pisa Conservation Area incurs a fee of $20 per car. The charge is year-round, covers the duration of your stay and allows parking in the section designated near the Snow Farm Lodge.
Foot access is not permitted on the Snow Farm road.
In winter (June - August) the fee is to be paid at the Snow Farm Lodge office and visitors are advised to also register their intentions there.
In spring/autumn (September - May), visitors must park their vehicles at the southern end of the main car park, as the DOC sign indicates, and then leave the $30 fee and vehicle details in the security box provided. Southern Hemisphere Proving Ground operates year-round, so be aware of machinery and vehicles operating in the car park at all times.
Access roads to the north are used for vehicle testing – extreme care is required. Photographs near and entry to this testing area is not permitted.
Foot access to the Pisa Conservation Area is via an easement marked with orange marker poles from the DOC sign.
In summer, very hot and dry conditions are common. Carrying an adequate supply of both drinking water and sun protection is essential.
In winter, mountaineering experience is required along with knowledge of avalanche conditions.
Firearms are not permitted on easements through private property including transportation in vehicles. Entry with a firearm is permitted via the Crown Saddle Car Park.
Dogs are allowed in the conservation area but entry/exit is restricted to the Crown Saddle Carpark access. All other entry points are via easements through private property and require landowner permission to enter with a dog including transporting them in vehicles.

Okami HD will sell for $20, and will include the full content of the 2006 PlayStation 2 game (and its 2008 Wii version), refreshed visuals, trophy support, and is playable with PlayStation Move or regular controllers.


As the number of confirmed anthrax attacks increase, Americans are getting ever more jittery. According to Xcelerator Life Sciences Funds Group, bananas are already being genetically modified for use in immunization against strains of anthrax. The US public may warm to this unusual form of medication. Americans have already taken well to enhanced, nutraceutical food such as probiotic yogurt, spending over $30 billion on nutraceuticals last year, and have one of the most accepting attitudes to genetic modification. By 2005, the nutraceuticals market will have grown to over $43 billion, leaving plenty of room for less conventional, beneficial offerings.

Give America's Cities the Power They Deserve
View of Columbus Circle in Manhattan, New York at night, December 15, 2007 (Thomas Hawk)
Will Wilkinson has another excellent op-ed in The New York Times about the maldistribution of power in the United States between rural and urban areas.
Part of the problem is that America's federal system gives sparsely populated parts of the country way more power than the cities. That wasn't such a big problem until the rural-urban divide became partisan. Now the largely white countryside and small towns vote overwhelmingly Republican while multicultural cities elect mostly Democrats. American democracy has been thrown into a crisis of legitimacy and dysfunction as a result.
Our politics is cracking up over the density divide. Big cities and their distinctive interests are suffering a density penalty and need more visibility in our scheme of representation.

Locating the "Real" Country, Putting Germany First and NATO Solidarity
The town of American Fork in Utah (Unsplash/Colby Thomas)
Andrew Sullivan is always worth reading, but, in the case of his latest column, I do think Noah Smith has a point and Sullivan falls into the trap of conflating Brexit and Donald Trump voters with "real England" and "real America".
This is a mistake conservatives on both sides of the Atlantic make. The small towns and countryside aren't the "real" country. They're half the country. Or, in the case of Trumpists, a third of the country. Their views deserve to be taken seriously, but so do those of big-city liberals.
Or as Smith puts it:
What we should NOT do is elevate one segment of the populace to Special Real American status, simply because they fit a certain classic stereotype or because they are more intolerant and angry than the rest.
Related to this discussion is Nabila Ramdani's argument in UnHerd for retiring the label "Gaullist" in France. (Charles de Gaulle is to French politics what Ronald Reagan is to American conservatism.)
De Gaulle's base consisted of white, Roman Catholic conservatives who had a quasi-mystical faith in their rural nation. There was no place in Gaullism for the millions of immigrants from France's former colonies, nor did it adapt to globalization and the spread of Anglo-Saxon culture.
Emmanuel Macron's project is a belated attempt to reconcile these facets of modern France and it meets strong resistance in La France profonde. Read more

Rutte Survives Tax Debacle, Middle America Not Doing So Badly
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte makes a speech in parliament in The Hague, November 13, 2012 (Rijksoverheid)
The Netherlands' Mark Rutte has been reprimanded by opposition parties for failing to disclose memos to parliament about internal government deliberations over the repeal of a business tax.
Rutte claimed he had not been aware of the papers, which were drafted by the Finance Ministry during the formation of his current government. The four parties in his coalition, which have a one-seat majority, accepted this explanation. All opposition parties but one voted to censure him.
Rutte surprised other parties by eliminating the dividend tax when he returned to power in October. Repeal had not been part of his election program. The suspicion in The Hague is that Rutte's former employer, Unilever, and Royal Dutch Shell — two of the Netherlands' largest companies — lobbied him to eliminate the tax. Read more
The Rent Is Too High, Partisanship Versus Democracy
Homes in San Francisco, California, April 5, 2010 (Jerome Vial)
Will Wilkinson of the libertarian Niskanen Center tells The Washington Post that expanding affordable housing in America's major cities is the key to reducing inequality.
Wages have barely budged in decades, yet housing costs have soared due to restrictive zoning and land-use policies. Young and working Americans are now unable to save. Homeowners are getting richer.
Kevin D. Williamson, a conservative columnist who was recently hired and then fired by The Atlantic for his right-wing views (more on that here), has similarly argued in National Review that working-class Americans left behind in the Rust Belt need to move to the coasts. He partly blames them for staying put, but recognizes that policy plays a role.
Consider California, where so many of the jobs in the new economy are. Its housing crisis (you can buy a private island or a castle in Europe for the price of a San Francisco apartment) is entirely man-made, "a result of extraordinarily restrictive zoning and environmental codes and epic NIMBYism of a uniquely Californian variety."
A Republican Party wishing to renew its prospects in California (which it once dominated) or in American cities could — and should — make affordable housing the centerpiece of its agenda for the cities.
More on why Republicans ought to compete in American cities here. Handelsblatt reports that Berlin fears San Francisco-style housing problems. Read more

How Long Will Booming Metropoles Put Up With Being Overruled?
The skyline of Miami, Florida (Unsplash/Ryan Parker)
A little over a year ago, I described Brexit and the election of Donald Trump as revenge against the city. Left-behind towns and the countryside, which enjoy disproportionate power in both countries' electoral systems, voted against the interests of urbanites.
Janan Ganesh later warned that, at some point, city dwellers may decide they have had enough of subsidizing provincials who vote against their heathen ways from a distance. He pointed to the independence movements in Catalonia and the wealthy northern provinces of Italy as examples.
Now Ronald Brownstein worries that the same could happen in the United States. President Trump, he points out, is prioritizing the interests of inland areas by reviving manufacturing and deregulating the energy industry while threatening coastal cities by restricting immigration and trade and limiting the deductibility of state and local taxes.

Republicans Must Not Abandon the Coasts
View of Madison Square Park in Manhattan, New York (Unsplash/Daryan Shamkhali)
Kevin D. Williamson urges America's Republicans not to abandon the coasts.
It's all good and fine to point to the troubles of Democratic-controlled cities and states, he writes in National Review , but in their rhetorical frenzy to abominate the blue parts of the country Republicans have put themselves at odds with many of its most successful communities, industries and institutions.
Republicans sneer at Silicon Valley and at the elite universities that educate the people who work there. In favor of what? A resentment-driven cultural milieu that insists that the "real America" is to be found elsewhere and that the "real America" looks like Hee-Haw without the music or self-deprecating humor. They insist that San Francisco is Hell on Earth but never ask why it is that so many people want to live there — or they just write off those who do as degenerates and hopelessly un-American.

In City-Country Imbalance, Don't Focus Only on the Left Behind
View of the Plaça de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain, June 23, 2014 (Pixabay/Elena Repina)
Janan Ganesh warns in the Financial Times against looking at the city-countryside imbalance exclusively through the lens of the places that have been left behind.
As a moral proposition, this is right, he argues: "the weakest first." But as a reading of how politics will unfold over time, it could be the wrong way around:
The anger that poor regions feel for the rampant metropolis — that Pas-de-Calais feels for Paris, that Indiana feels for New York — might turn out to weigh less than the grievances that flow in the opposite direction.
City dwellers may at some point decide they have had enough of subsidizing provincials who vote against their heathen ways from a distance. "Call it representation without taxation." Read more

SubGenre:Alternative History
Virtual Fire
by Mendy Sobol View author's profile page
May 1970. Vietnam. Cambodia. Kent State. Jackson State. Violent protests erupt on college campuses across America. Paul "Tesla" Simmons and his best friend Toby Jessup are college seniors who spend their time writing programs on Wellston University's IBM 650 mainframe computer, playing pinball in the back room of the Beef 'n' Bun restaurant, and dreaming. President Nixon's escalation of the war and their friendship with student activist Meg Wells draw Paul and Toby into the antiwar movement and a choice between violent and non-violent protest. As the war and opposition to the war reach their climaxes, Toby, Paul, and Meg become ever more radicalized, only to have their plans overshadowed by an incident that alters the course of their personal histories forever.
Decades later, Paul, a successful programmer in an era transformed by the rise of the computer, makes a revolutionary technological discovery. Realizing he now has the means to change a tragic, yet seemingly minor historical event, Paul acts, and unwittingly sets history on a deadly new course.
Living in the world his actions created, a world where computers are the province of a select few, seeing life as it was only in his dreams, can Paul, with the help of the brilliant young hacker Melora Kennedy, return history to its proper path and restore the dreams of his youth?
From New England's ivy-covered college halls, to New Jersey's crumbling cities, to the beaches of Florida's Gulf coast and the ruins of post-war Vietnam, VIRTUAL FIRE's four narrators relate their experiences of war, resistance to war, the power of friendship and the power of dreams.
Author's Note: VIRTUAL FIRE contains scenes concerning warfare, post-traumatic stress disorder related to the Vietnam War, violent acts committed by and against antiwar protesters, and explicit language. It includes a compendium of links to books, movies, and music for those who want to learn more about the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement.
Four Who Changed History: Meet the Narrators of VIRTUAL FIRE
Paul Simmons: Computer Nerd
In 1970, Paul "Tesla" Simmons and his best friend Toby Jessup were college seniors more interested in computers than politics. President Nixon's escalation of the Vietnam War and their friendship with student activist Meg Wells drew Paul and Toby into the antiwar movement and a choice between violent and non-violent protest. Today, Paul is a leading software designer. HYDRA, his visionary new program, will alter the course of history.
Meg Wells: Activist
Today, Meg Wells is a dedicated social justice advocate, a Nobel laureate, and the director of Vietnam's Mekong Clinic. In 1970, she was a college senior and an organizer in the anti-Vietnam War movement. Her gift? Call it leadership, persuasiveness, or the courage of her convictions. Call it manipulation. For better or worse, Meg's gift is getting people to do things, whatever things she decides need doing—even if it means reshaping history.
Toby Jessup: Most Wanted
In 1970, all Toby Jessup wanted was a college education, time on Wellston University's IBM 650 mainframe computer, a good game of pinball, and a pepperoni pizza. His ideals and his friendship with Paul and Meg led him to oppose America's involvement in the Vietnam War. His unwavering commitment to non-violence changed history. Today, Toby is a fugitive.
Melora Kennedy: Hacker
Today, Melora Kennedy lives in a world where access to computers is limited by law to a select few military programmers. Despite her youth and lack of formal education, she became a cyber genius who revolutionized computerized warfare for the United States military. Together with Toby, Tesla, and Meg, Melora's choices in the face of her generation's war will determine our future.

The invasion of Cambodia by American and South Vietnamese forces, the shooting deaths of unarmed student protesters at Kent State, and their friendship with Student Mobilization Committee leader Meg Wells draw Paul and Toby into the antiwar movement and a fateful choice between violent and non-violent protest. As the war and opposition to the war reach their climaxes, Toby, Paul, and Meg become ever more radicalized, only to have their plans overshadowed by an incident that alters the course of their personal histories forever.

"The Personal Is Political, Honey"
La Belle Chaos
Leah Rumack
It is 1978. Women's lib is a hot topic. Women are busy getting in touch with their ovaries and men are busy getting in touch with the dishes. Marty Goodman, editor of The Toronto Star, is in his office with his newly hired women's columnist.
"Do you understand," he asks her, "what we mean by a women's column?"
No, she's not quite sure.
"Well," he says. "Look out the window. There's the CN Tower. If I look out and see a man climbing that CN Tower, that's news.Now, if I look out there and I see a woman climbing that CN Tower, that's women'snews."
"Oh, I see Marty," she says sweetly.
She had to wait until she left to laugh out loud. This was the woman who as a 12-year old wrote indignant essays to herself about the injustices of the masculine pronoun. This was the Bad Girl who lit her matches on the crotch of her jeans and taught her entire Girl Guide pack to smoke. This was the MPP's wife who threw spitballs at the Tories from the spectators' gallery in the Legislature. CN Tower. As if. " I didn't know what I was going to do. But I certainly wasn't going to do something as dumb as what he said."
One week later, Goodman and the Starhad a feminist columnist. They never knew what hit them. But she sold, so they let her stay. On May 15, 1998, Michele Landsberg celebrates the 20th anniversary of her first column in the Starat a time when a recent survey by the paper showed that she is its most-read columnist. Since theStarhas the largest circulation in Canada, this makes Landsberg the most regularly read columnist in the country and one of our best-known feminists.
The 1990s has seen a backlash against many of the gains the feminist and social justice movements have made over the past quarter century. People in positions of power, like Ontario Premier Mike Harris, think that if only women were cooking breakfast for their husbands and reading Mr.Silly to their children every night all would be well. It seems that a distinctly feminist voice in the mainstream media is as important now as ever, but is Michele Landsberg effective?
Some people think she couldn't put a pink-gilded feminist foot wrong. Some think she's an easily written-off raving lefty who's high on hysterics and low on rationale. But one thing everyone agrees upon is that she's crazy. And it's her crazed passion, her over-the-top devotion to advocacy, feminism and the like and her ever-present indignation that have bolstered her in her long-time role as crusading journalist. While many of us abandon our youthful outrage and start salivating after RRSPs by 30, she has kept her knickers in a perpetual twist by constantly finding new things to rant about. Michele Landsberg embodies the notion of column writing as a political act. Some people wave signs. She waves her word processor.
But how did this meshugina feminist end up angry enough to land on Toronto's kitchen tables for 20 years? How did she begin her oh-so-perilous journey through the mountains of dinosaurs, patriarchs and Tories?
She hitchhiked.
It is the fifties, or, "the fucking fifties, the worst decade of the century" as our plucky heroine likes to say. She is pissed off. She is 14 and stuck in Willowdale where there are no damn books. Since there is also no TTC in Willowdale, well, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do when she needs a decent bookstore. So after yelling "No!" to a policeman who tells her to get back on the curb and stop hitchhiking, she finds herself at the police station. Arms crossed, pigtails twitching, she refuses to divulge her name, but they manage to wrest a book registered to the Holy Blossom Temple religious school from her. The rabbi comes fuming down to the station to identify her. The rabbi (she thought) is a good guy. A progressive guy. But after bawling her out, he turns despairingly to the officers and says, in hushed tones, "Her mother works, you know."
Girl, if those pigtails could have caught on fire….

In 1964, the GOP ceased to be the party of Lincoln and became the party of Southern whites. As I now look back with the clarity of hindsight, I am convinced that coded racial appeals had at least as much, if not more, to do with the electoral success of the modern Republican Party than all of the domestic and foreign policy proposals crafted by well-intentioned analysts like me. This is what liberals have been saying for decades. I never believed them. Now I do, because Trump won by making the racist appeal, hitherto relatively subtle, obvious even to someone such as me who used to be in denial.


Images have been released of a crash on the A1(M) near Bawtry which caused three miles of traffic.
A section of the motorway between J34, Blyth and J35, Doncaster was closed after the crash between a van and lorry this morning, Monday, March 25.
Motorists were left waiting in three miles of traffic.
The main carriageway and slip road now open.
A Highways England spokesman said: "There are 20 minute residual delays on the approach to the earlier incident spanning 3.5 miles back to Upper Morton. Delays are reducing and it is anticipated that normal traffic conditions will return shortly."
All vehicles are now on the hard shoulder and currently being recovered.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: "Minor injuries reported for both drivers – the vehicles are now being recovered and the road due to reopen."

Steeped in rich history, the dynamic stories of the Cathedral's past are told throughout the building. With centuries of craftsmanship on display, from the monumental Nave pillars to the intricate green men carvings, there are many hidden gems for you to uncover on your journey around the Cathedral.
From the foundations that were laid in 1089 by Abbot Serlo, to the 15th century Lady Chapel, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, the building will take you on a unique tour of English architecture.
The Cathedral also played a significant role in Medieval court culture as it featured in the lives of Henry III and Edward II and still bears the scars of the Reformation and the Civil War. For further information, see our timeline.
There is also a magnificent collection of stained glass, including the Great East Window which was installed in the early 1350's and is as large as a tennis court! Other works include the stunning Christopher Whall windows which are arguably the most signifcant collection of Arts & Crafts stained glass in the world and more recently, the work of Thomas Denny.

This weekend, the Gawker network was compromised.
This weekend we discovered that Gawker Media's servers were compromised, resulting in a security breach at Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Gawker, Jezebel, io9, Jalopnik, Kotaku, Deadspin, and Fleshbot. If you're a commenter on any of our sites, you probably have several questions.
So, here we are again with a monster release of ownage and data droppage. Previous attacks against the target were mocked, so we came along and raised the bar a little. How's this for "script kids"? Your empire has been compromised, your servers, your databases, online accounts and source code have all been ripped to shreds!
Read those release notes. It'll explain how the compromise unfolded, blow by blow, from the inside.
Gawker is operated by Nick Denton, notorious for the unapologetic and often unethical "publish whatever it takes to get traffic" methods endorsed on his network. Do you remember the iPhone 4 leak? That was Gawker. Do you remember the article about bloggers being treated as virtual sweatshop workers? That was Gawker. Do you remember hearing about a blog lawsuit? That was probably Gawker, too.
Some might say having every account on your network compromised is exactly the kind of unwanted publicity attention that Gawker was founded on.
Personally, I'm more interested in how we can learn from this hack. Where did Gawker go wrong, and how can we avoid making those mistakes on our projects?
Gawker saved passwords. You should never, ever store user passwords. If you do, you're storing passwords incorrectly. Always store the salted hash of the password – never the password itself! It's so easy, even members of Mensa er … can't … figure it out.
Gawker used encryption incorrectly. The odd choice of archaic DES encryption meant that the passwords they saved were all truncated to 8 characters. No matter how long your password actually was, you only had to enter the first 8 characters for it to work. So much for choosing a secure pass phrase. Encryption is only as effective as the person using it. I'm not smart enough to use encryption, either, as you can see in Why Isn't My Encryption.. Encrypting?
No. We never stored passwords of users who logged in using Facebook Connect.
3) What if I linked my Twitter account with my Gawker Media account? Was my Twitter password compromised?
No. We never stored Twitter passwords from users who linked their Twitter accounts with their Gawker Media account.
That's right, people who used their internet driver's license to authenticate on these sites had no security problems at all! Does the need to post a comment on Gizmodo really justify polluting the world with yet another username and password? It's only the poor users who decided to entrust Gawker with a unique username and 'secure' password who got compromised.
But honestly, as much as we can point and laugh at Gawker and blame them for this debacle, there is absolutely nothing unique or surprising about any of this. Regular readers of my blog are probably bored out of their minds by now because I just trotted out a whole bunch of blog posts I wrote 3 years ago. Again.
Here's the dirty truth about website passwords: the internet is full of websites exactly like the Gawker network. Let's say you have good old traditional username and passwords on 50 different websites. That's 50 different programmers who all have different ideas of how your password should be stored. I hope for your sake you used a different (and extremely secure) password on every single one of those websites. Because statistically speaking, you're screwed.
In other words, the more web sites you visit, the more networks you touch and trust with a username and password combination – the greater the odds that at least one of those networks will be compromised exactly like Gawker was, and give up your credentials for the world to see. At that point, unless you picked a strong, unique password on every single site you've ever visited, the situation gets ugly.
The bad news is that most users don't pick strong passwords. This has been proven time and time again, and the Gawker data is no different. Even worse, most users re-use these bad passwords across multiple websites. That's how this ugly Twitter worm suddenly appeared on the back of a bunch of compromised Gawker accounts.
Now do you understand why I've been so aggressive about promoting the concept of the internet driver's license? That is, logging on to a web site using a set of third party credentials from a company you can actually trust to not be utterly incompetent at security? Sure, we're centralizing risk here to, say, Google, or Facebook – but I trust Google a heck of a lot more than I trust J. Random Website, and this really is no different in practice than having password recovery emails sent to your GMail account.
I'm not here to criticize Gawker. On the contrary, I'd like to thank them for illustrating in broad, bold relief the dirty truth about website passwords: we're all better off without them. If you'd like to see a future web free of Gawker style password compromises – stop trusting every random internet site with a unique username and password! Demand that they allow you to use your internet driver's license – that is, your existing Twitter, Facebook, Google, or OpenID credentials – to log into their website.


Celiac Disease, CD or Gluten Enteropathy, is not a food allergy; it is an autoimmune disease.
A true allergy is an immune response, which causes the body to produce a protein called IgE. The production of IgE causes an immediate reaction in the body. In the case of a wheat allergy, the reactions to the IgE could be, runny rose, watery eyes, or a rash like hives. The allergy might produce wheezing /asthma symptoms or intestinal distress including, stomachache, nausea, or bloating; less common would be diarrhea (but not unheard of).
Typically with an allergy those symptoms could occur within a half an hour of consuming wheat or gluten. Sometimes people could have a delayed reaction (6 to 12) hours after eating gluten.
Not so with someone with CD or Gluten Enteropathy, this person may have no discernible imediate response to consuming gluten, yet the affect upon their body is far more disruptive.
In a person with CD, the abnormal immune response to gluten is based on their body producing IgG or IgM, when they consume, or, in extreme cases, simply come in contact with gluten. The production of the proteins IgG or IgM, causes an inflammation of the intestinal tract that gets worse over time. Often these people will experience intestinal symptoms, but these do not flare up in response to what is eaten. Instead, over time, the inflammation in the intestines increases; there might be an intensifying of stomach pain, diarrhea, headaches etc. Because this condition leads to malabsorption of nutrients though the small intestine, people with CD often feel sick, or run down, and these feelings get progressively worse with time.
For people with CD or Gluten Enteropathy, the only treatment is to completely eliminate gluten from their diets.
For someone with a wheat or gluten allergy, they must also eliminate these products from their diet. Some people overcome or "grow out of" allergies if they avoid the allergen consciously. In the case of an allergy, it is possible to reinstate small amounts of the irritants after years of abstinence.
For people with CD, they must remain gluten free as a way of life, and if they do, they can look forward to relatively normal lives.
A good discussion of this topic is given by Dr. Michael Marcus in the video below. You have to put up with the commercial that comes on before his discussion, but it is worth it.

Why I aspire to represent Benue South at the Senate –Madaki Ameh
As the journey to 2015 general elections commences, political activities are also gearing-up at various parties to ensure a colourful election year. Principal Actors in various levels are also warming up with much hope and preparations to occupying their targeted positions. One of such men with passion to serve his people is Chief Madaki Omadachi Ameh of All Progressive Congress (APC) who aspires to become the next Senator representing Benue South Senatorial District (Zone C). The Abuja based legal practitioner recently declared his aspiration and gave reasons why he should be considered during the election. Read the full text of his declaration.
"Since I first announced my candidature for the Benue South Senatorial District on 26th January 2014, this singular move has elicited a lot of interests and ardent followership by Idoma people and non-Idoma alike. Many have wondered what inspired this decision, especially in the face of the apparent aversion of other Idoma sons and daughters, who though are equally eminently qualified, have refrained from expressing interest in vying for this office which has been occupied by one individual since inception of the current political dispensation in 1999.
To address these inquiries, I have outlined below, why I think the incumbent holder of that office should no longer continue in that office when his current tenure expires on 29th May 2015, when he would have spent 16 years in office.
1. He has not fulfilled any of the many promises he made to Idoma nation since first being handed this mandate in May 1999. We all know that one of the major planks of his campaign has been his promise to facilitate the creation of Apa State for the Idoma people, a subject so dear to the Idoma nation because of the challenges we face within the context of our current existence since the creation of Benue State in 1976. Not only has he contested and gone to that office for the past four consecutive terms on the strength of this promise; he has also occupied this position as conventional Senator for 8 years and as Senate President for another 8 years.
It should be clear to him by now, that having occupied the highest possible office he can aspire to within the Senate, and not having been able to deliver on this promise during the past 16 years, another term of four years to make a record 20 years in that same office will not make any difference. The Idoma people now know better that they can no longer be hoodwinked into believing another round of recycled promise of Apa State, because the process of State creation is no mean task within a complicated Federal structure like ours in Nigeria, and no single person, no matter how well connected, can make it happen.
2. The Idoma people cannot point to any significant achievement the incumbent Senator has made during his past four terms in office. All roads in Idoma Land are a mess, including the one leading to his own village of Akpegede. The only new Federal project during the past 16 years, which is the reconstruction of the Otukpo - Oweto Road, was inexplicably terminated at Iga-Okpaya, leaving out much of the rest of Apa Local Government and the entire of Agatu Local Government, both of which have hardly seen any form of government presence since time immemorial.
This road, which terminates at Oweto, provides a very short access to Abuja, if there were a bridge across River Benue at Oweto. Even though a contract has reportedly been awarded for the construction of this bridge and preliminary works are said to have commenced, no one knows when this project will be completed, if at all, judging from the penchant for abandoned projects in Nigeria.
Considering the enormous influence the Senate President wields over the budgetary process, he could have included any project within his constituency in the Federal budget all this while if he so pleases and all the Ministers would have been falling over each other to execute them. But this has not happened, and will not happen no matter how much longer he stays in that office.
In fact, I have it on high authority, that some Federal projects earmarked for Zone C, such as the Makurdi - Naka - Adoka - Ankpa Road, which was included in the 2009 draft Federal Budget, was deliberately removed from the final budget document by the Senate President because he said that Adoka people do not usually vote for him during elections!
Even the Otobi dam project which held out significant promise for provision of much-needed potable water in Otukpo and surrounding communities has become a white elephant project, with the forced abandonment of the project site by the Chinese contractors handling the project, due to non fulfillment of the contractual terms by the Government.
3. Our teeming youths still remain unemployed and frustrated in spite of their enormous talents and high level of intellect and education, largely because they have no hope of access to government appointments, not being favoured siblings of the Senate President, or his in-laws! It is obvious that we all cannot be favoured siblings or in-laws of the Senate President, and need not be, to enjoy the benefits of citizenship of this potentially great nation and reap our inalienable rights to the dividends of democracy.
A true leader shows empathy for his people, no matter their circumstances, and expands the frontiers of opportunity for his people, without undue favoritism or nepotism. This trend, which is fast becoming the norm among political leaders in Idoma Land and elsewhere, needs to be consciously discouraged, since not all of us can have our elder brothers or sisters in high offices, to be able to enjoy the basic benefits of governance, such as employment for people who are amply qualified.
Let me assure you that this campaign will never resort to denigration of the person of the Senate President, because it is in our collective interest for him to continue to enjoy the high esteem in which he is held at the national level, because after all, as the saying goes, "if you do not want your brother to be king, you will never be the brother or sister of a king", but we must also not shy away from telling the truth to constituted authority, especially where such people hold positions in trust for the people which they have consistently used sub-optimally, to the collective disadvantage of the people.
That is the only way to hold our political leaders to account, and make them realize that they hold the mandate of the people, and must remain their servants and not their masters, no matter how exalted their positions may be.
In the course of the following days and weeks, I will outline my vision for the Idoma nation, in very specific terms, so as to provide documented evidence of what I am committing to, as I seek the mandate of our people to provide unalloyed leadership while occupying the position which I currently seek. I assure you that, in the truest spirit of Okaleya, I will never promise what I know I cannot deliver, but whatever I commit to, I must deliver on, no matter how difficult or inconvenient it may be.
I urge you all to be united, focused and committed to this cause for positive change in the difficult days and months ahead, for I am confident that a new dawn beckons on us as a people, if we have the vision and courage to see this through.
Let me assure you that this cause has become the reason for my existence, and I will not only give it my best, but also my all!
Best wishes always,
Chief Madaki Omadachi Ameh - LL.B (Hons.), LL.M (Energy Law & Policy), B.L."

YES. It can hurt your brand.
But, instead of worrying about how posting practices affect vanity metrics like followers, shares, likes, etc., I would be much more concerned with how spending time on social is actually equating to top line growth for your business. This is so critical for small business owners because resources are constrained and in my experience, social media just doesn't provide a positive return for most small business owners. That's not to say it can't work, but there are a myriad of other ways to spend your time that can actually drive real growth.
Here's why: everything you do (or pay someone to do) has an opportunity cost. By choosing to spend tons of time/resources on posting to social media channels, you're forgoing something else that could be driving a better ROI for you. Finding successful tactics that provide the best ROI is what will boost your brand.
Thanks for the note. I think we have stuck so close to social media because that seems to be what other sports industry influencers are doing. Maybe we need to diversify our approach until we are larger.
Hi Gabriel, I've been doing Digital Marketing for over 11+ years now and I run a leading UK marketing and development company called Odyssey New Media (odysseynewmedia.com).
1) Post relevancy is too low - If you are excessively posting content/links/images that users don't want then this is irrelevant and not useful to the user. Make sure posts are relevant, as engaging as possible (images/video work best) and give the user something - i.e. funny joke (laughs), informative Meme (information), stunning picture (wow factor) etc.
2) Post frequency is too high - If you are posting excessively it can annoy and lead to people unfollowing you. I have seen this happen and have done it myself if a brand is clogging up my newsfeed all the time with boring content. I want to see a variety of posts from friends and a range of brands/companies that I follow. As a general rule, I would not post more than 2 times a day, unless it was an hourly flash sale promotion or something like that. Keep your followers hungry for your next post by not feeding them too much. Its often the case people appreciate quality over quantity.
With care and attention to the best times to post as well, if you are posting relevant, quality content/images/videos that people like then it can lead to more follows/engagement etc.
I hope that makes sense. These are my views from experience. If you have any questions or think we could help, please don't hesitate to contact me rob (at) odysseynewmedia (dot) com.
Thanks Rob, these are great guidelines to follow. Appreciate you taking the time to reply.
This is a great question. I would let your audience tell you. Each social media platform is a little different. In general, Facebook followers don't want their newsfeed full of all your posts. However, Twitter moves quickly and more posts are often required.
I recommend over time to test post frequency and be sure to post during high traffic times. Use your analytics to see when posts receive the most engagement and be sure to keep posting during those time periods.
And of course, post content that is of great value to your audience.

Hey Charlotte, we haven't spent much time reviewing social media analytics yet. That is something we can do. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Blaine, I'd be interested to read your article. I think you make good points. Can you share with us?
First, the post frequency vs. engagement varies with social network you're using. Fast paced networks like Twitter is good with as many as 10 posts a day whereas Facebook works well with 2 posts a day with a decent time difference.
Second, timings of your post matters to get the most accurate data and conclusion on engagement vs. post.
Third, content quality, variation and relevancy will also decide the engagement factor.
Facebook can reduce your average if you makes an abussive use. Optim volume of daily posts is never up to 2 per day. In case of Twitter, you can use a more extensive frequency (even 6-8 tweets per day).
I think it depends on what you will share. If you share irrelevant posts, images, and content then it hurt brand otherwise not.
Using the right content, NO.
I started with thrice a week & Now I post once a day. It is my preference. I have been doing it since last two years. Never had any problems with my posts. Sponsored Ads. might work well.


It's funny how scientists often confirm what we instinctively know. Anyone who's driven a car this summer will have noted how few insects there were on the windscreen. Those a little longer in the tooth like me, will recall battalions of flying insects forcing parents to pull over because they couldn't see the car in front! So, where have all these insects gone and what's caused their numbers to plunge by 75% over the past 25 years?
The short answer to that question is that the huge decline is unclear. The usual suspects are all evident as potential antagonists, these include loss of natural habitat, widespread use of pesticide and climate change. I can almost hear people groaning every time I write 'climate change' as we're seduced by contrasting political viewpoints. And each offers the view of the dandy highwayman (depending on our interpretation of the 'facts').
"Reduce your Co2 or your life!" shouts one side while the other scoffs at such nonsense.
But here's the thing, whatever the reasons are for climate change, the fact is our climate is changing. And it's changing at a rate nature is struggling to adapt. It's out of puff and could do with a piggyback before it's too late.
I imagine that's how many folks feel.
"If it does, it better bring sausages because no-one wants unwanted guests at a family BBQ!" And therein lies the resilience of mankind to overcome and adapt to nature's loses without a flinch. I love my good friend and his family. But he's ignoring the basics and he's forgotten our conversation before he's finished his first burger.
Why should he care? What do insects do for us? At their most productive, they're pollinators and provide food for birds. They help reduce natural pests in the garden. The salad we're tucking into might struggle without pollinators as would much of the food on offer.
Nature needs insects. We need insects – even if they spoil the BBQ. Take the birds for example, isn't it interesting that insect declines have a similar shape to bird declines? I can see how a reduction in insect ready meals during the breeding season would affect breeding numbers of birds. If protein isn't available at the time it's required natural enrichment fails. Some birds may adapt to other foods and others will seek supplementary bird food. But that's only beneficial if seed mixes are clean and high-quality. But not all species can adapt. Swallows, House Martins and Swifts consume on the wing and there's little chance of them deciding to feed on a bird feeder. So those birds who are reliant on insects as a food source may, in time, perish – alongside bats, some mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians.
Read The Guardian's article here.
Next Post Blue Planet II: we "dump eight million tonnes of plastic into the sea" every year, and it "entangles and drowns a vast number of creatures". Think about that when you next shop.
I'm a biologist here in California, so unlike your BBQ ing friend, you'll get no argument from me! A good source to learn more on these insect declines is The Xerces Society, which is a scientifically based organization focused on invertebrate conservation. Unfortunately, our present federal government cares little for this matter.
Thanks for sharing that, Paul. I'll add the URL here: https://xerces.org/ and I'll share it where appropriate.
It's a great shame nature's undoing is being largely ignored by governments and it must make a biologist's blood boil! Your work is important and I hope you can find a way to use what you know to help more and more people understand why it's important to protect the life that sustains us. Something another biologist (Rachel Carson) was prepared to shout about. With that in mind, please feel free to share what you know on this blog – as long as it's not BBQ ing tips!


The recent leak of the Panama Papers has reinvigorated worldwide public calls to try to put an end to tax evasion and minimisation through tax havens. This has resulted in many countries proposing more restrictive rules for offshore trusts and shell companies in an attempt to quash alleged international tax avoidance schemes.
International trust structures have come in for particular attention after the leaked documents highlighted features that may be used to avoid disclosures and consequently taxes.
The New Zealand government has called for an independent review of its disclosure rules in relation to foreign trusts. The key issue is that New Zealand's disclosure rules relating to trusts are vulnerable as very little information is required. Currently, only the name of the trust and trustees must be disclosed, neither of which are likely to yield information on who actually benefits from the trust.
We expect the independent review to result in more onerous disclosure obligations for foreign trusts, possibly including details of the names and place of residence of the creator(s) and beneficiaries. This may also include details of all beneficiaries who have received a benefit from the trust and the amount. While some countries, such as Panama, have resisted entering into International Agreements for the exchange of information with Australia many so called tax haven countries have done so and pressure will be mounting on those who have not to make such arrangements, if not with Australia, then with other countries with whom Australia has such agreements.
The data dump has also stimulated further discussions on tax avoidance in Europe and the proposal that all trusts be required to disclose beneficiaries. The legislation and the general law concerning trust structures is different in every country and most of Europe uses the civil law, rather than English law, so a universally consistent regime for trusts is not likely.
The United Kingdom is not in favour of wide disclosure laws as UK trusts, like our own, do not always list specific beneficiaries and members of a class of beneficiaries may change.
It has announced plans to create a public register and reveal the identities of beneficial owners of shell companies in a move claimed to be aimed at preventing company tax avoidance. The proposed public register would hold information on those with an interest in more than 25% of company shares or voting rights, or otherwise control how the company is run. Companies will have an obligation to provide updated information at least once every year, including the individual's name, date of birth and nationality.
Australia's Assistant Treasurer, Kelly O'Dwyer, has recently announced that the current government plans to follow suit with its own public register for shell companies in a move to prevent company tax avoidance. The proposed scheme is consistent with the G20 standards.
"It does improve transparency. It means that the public and law enforcement agencies know who ultimately controls the company. It means it is a lot easier to expose wrongdoing or fraudulent conduct. It makes it much easier to disrupt illicit financial flows and it makes it much, much harder to engage in tax avoidance" said Australia's Assistant Treasurer, Kelly O'Dwyer.
Increasing tax transparency and trying to stop tax evasion should no doubt be promoted. However, there are serious privacy concerns in revealing information to competitors and exposing the financial position of individuals.
While a public register would create greater transparency of ownership by allowing people to see who is really in charge, it may also capture individuals with good reasons to protect their privacy. If there is to be an Australian register, we would counsel it to be a private register that can only be accessed by the tax authorities rather than the general public.
Several other responses have been made through political processes and the ATO to the revelations concerning the Panama Papers so far and more can be expected.
How long will it be until both the UK and Australia follow the EU and NZ in requiring further disclosure about trust beneficiaries? It seems likely this is not a question of 'if' it happens but instead a question of 'when' it happens.


Is Hawaii always warm? Do you have to wear sweaters and jackets? Has it ever snowed like it did in Bakersfield?
After you get acclimated, you definitely need a sweater and jacket, but right off the plane from the cold midwest winter, it's definitely not sweater weather.
Yes, it snows every winter because of the high altitude on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.


The next week is going to be an interesting one for the geospatial industry. It's not every week that the world's most valuable company enters your industry with a fanfare, but next week at its worldwide developer conference, Apple is expected to announce its own mapping application to replace Google Maps as the primary mapping app on iPhones and iPads. This has been anticipated for quite some time, with Apple making a number of geospatial acquisitions over the last couple of years, including Placebase, Poly9 and C3. There was some detailed coverage about a new mapping product in iOS 6 "with incredible 3d mode" from 9 to 5 Mac a few weeks ago. And now there is a flurry of articles from the Wall Street Journal (subscription needed for full article), NPR, and many more.
Of course Google has been the dominant player in mapping applications for the past several years and they're not going to take this lying down. Today they are holding an invitation only event for press in Mountain View on the "next dimension of Google Maps", expected to talk about new 3D features in Google Maps. Ed Parsons of Google tweeted this morning that it will be a "big news day for Google Geo".
This should certainly make life even more interesting in the geospatial industry. Up to this point, Microsoft has been the main challenger to Google in the maps arena. They've occasionally come up with some significant innovation, like their 3D building models that came from the acquisition of Vexcel, but then faded away again, or PhotoSynth which is really cool technology with enormous potential for 3D mapping and augmented reality, but which hasn't yet really transitioned beyond a cool standalone application. But Microsoft has never really seemed to me to quite get its act together well enough on the mapping front to really have a good claim to challenge Google as the industry leader.
I think Apple will mount a much more serious challenge to Google on the consumer mapping front, and I'll write more about what I think they might bring in the next day or two (I think it will have significance in other areas beyond 3D). One thing that will be interesting to see though is how much of a platform for other applications the Apple offering will include. Google Maps of course has a well developed API for building other applications, which Ubisense uses extensively in our myWorld application. Stay tuned for what promises to be an interesting week!
Update: see my follow up posts on the Google announcements and more detailed predictions and questions about Apple Maps.
Nice article. Let's see what Apple offers for non apple platforms.
Nice article Peter. You're keeping us all up to date with breaking GIS news. Anything that normalises spatial applications is welcome in my book. Competition in this area is needed from a GIS professionals point of view.

The Devil and the Dark Water by Stuart Turton
Stuart Turton's follow up to his mind bending science fiction crime genre mashing award winner The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle feels like another genre mash. The Devil and the Dark Water, set in the 17th Century on board an Indiaman headed from Batavia to Amsterdam, trucks not only in murders to be solved but in the occult and devilry. But all of its narrative tricks tend to hide the fact that is a much more straight forward, Agatha Christie meets Sherlock Holmes mystery than meets the eye. This, of course, is part of Turton's genius.
The Devil and the Dark Water opens as if readers are reading the latest of a historical detective series about a Holmesian style detective and his offsider. Samuel Pipps is a world renowned thief taker, known for the diary-like record of his exploits written and distributed by his hulking, former mercenary offsider Arent Hayes. But this is the point in the series where the crime solving genius is sidelined and his offsider is charged with solving the case. For reasons unknown, Pipps has been arrested and is being shipped back to Amsterdam in cell. So that when the impossible murders start, even before their ship sets sail, it is up to Arent to try and draw on the skills that Pipps has taught him to solve the case.
Impossible events keep occurring as the legend of a devilish force known as Old Tom comes to life on board the ship. Old Tom has threatened to deliver three miraculous deeds, after which anyone who has not joined him will die. And slowly, as those deeds come to light and the ship is blown off course by a storm, the mood on the ship starts to shift. Arent is charged with investigating and he is helped by Sara, wife of the abusive Governor, who also turns out to be Arent's foster "uncle". No one who is as they seem on this boat, everyone has a backstory and no one can be trusted, particularly when the investigators are told that any one of the crew may have been possessed by Old Tom.
Turton has once again set up an irresistible, action packed, page-turning mystery. The characters are vivid, the mysteries pile up and the situation becomes increasingly dire. As with The Seven Deaths of Eveyln Hardcastle, he manages a large and diverse cast and a complex plot with plenty of moving parts. There are echoes here of Agatha Christie parlour mysteries but even moreso the influence of Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles in which Watson is sent to investigate seemingly supernatural goings on. Drawing on these influences, and in some ways using them to manage his readers' expectations, Turton delivers a totally original tale that is intriguing, sometimes terrifying and ultimately satisfying.

News Dockerizing and Deploying with Docker Compose
Dockerizing and Deploying with Docker Compose
As I grow more fond to the popular opinion of containerizing applications, I realize just how beneficial the action becomes. Being able to horizontally scale deployments had never been a concept which I was familiar with as a game server developer because game servers must run in a single process.
This is no different today. However, containerizing both this website and the servers of this community will allow the infrastructure backing this community to work just as fluidly as they have before, and allow for much more extensibility for new features and servers which may have caused dependency issues before.
Until now, all of our MySQL database, django web app, Teamspeak server, and dedicated game servers were hosted on a single VPS. This worked fine, but the same cannot be said for what could have developed in the future. To understand the benefits of containerizing applications, we first must understand what it inherently implies.
Containerizing an application is almost exactly like running it in a virtual machine. You setup an environment, or in the case of docker images, an operating system, and deploy your app on that operating system to be the only thing running on it. This gives your app the same benefits as creating a python virtual environment brings to a developer with multiple apps which each have their own specific dependencies which could conflict with dependencies of other apps if they were all installed into the same site_packages directory. Other apps require specific versions of packages while other python apps require other specific versions of the same package. This is no different from any type of application that makes use of libraries on the system.
By deploying containerized apps with docker-compose, we eliminate an issue which we could have faced on a dedicated VPS, instant redeployment of the application in case of spontaneous server failure or combustion. docker-compose allows us to specify how many replicas of each application we want so that we can have dynamic load balancing based on current traffic trends, how many to keep online/offline while updating, all from an extremely readable yaml file and command line interface.
As I mentioned before, game servers can only run on one process, so there will only be a single docker container ever running for our gmod server, one for our l4d2 server, etc. but we will now be able to dynamically allocate resources to those containers as we need them with the help of kubernetes.
I hope that this change will inspire other gaming community owners to make the same switch that the majority of the dev ops industry is also changing their direction towards today.
