EXCLUSIVE: As one door seemingly closes, another looks to be opening. I understand from sources that Captain America star Chris Evans is joining Daniel Craig in Rian Johnson's red-hot murder mystery movie Knives Out.
The casting bolsters the project's status as one of the hottest in the works at the moment and follows MRC's big money deal for it out of Toronto. As we previously broke, Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Johnson, who wrote the script and is producing with partner Ram Bergman, will make the movie before directing a new trilogy in the Star Wars universe.
Plot details on the film are largely being kept under wraps but the pic will likely shoot this year, meaning Craig will shoot it before Bond 25. It is understood to be a modern day murder mystery in the classic whodunit style.
The project is timely for Evans on the day that speculation is in overdrive about him hanging up his Captain America shield after playing the Marvel stalwart since 2011. Anthony and Joe Russo's latest installment in the Avengers franchise will hit next year. The in-demand actor also has thriller The Red Sea Diving Resort coming up and he was set for Neill Blomkamp's Greenland during Cannes. Knives Out is expected to be his next movie.
Evans is repped by CAA, 3 Arts and Meyer & Downs.

AMMAN – International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde on Monday said the fund is open to extend its three-year stand-by arrangement (SBA) for Jordan if needed.
"The programme extends until August 2015 and I'm very much hopeful that we can pursue this relationship. If more is needed later on down the road, in terms of more technical assistance and more financial support, we are completely open to it and prepared to help always," Lagarde said in an interview with journalists on the sidelines of a regional economic conference in Amman that concluded Monday.
The SBA, which was approved by the IMF's executive board on August 3, 2012, enables Jordan an exceptional access of around $2 billion, representing 800 per cent of Jordan's quota in the IMF.
Total disbursements Jordan has received so far under the programme are about $1.3 billion.
Answering a question on flexibility in dealing with Jordan, she said the IMF recognised the burden of refugees on the public finances of Jordan by relaxing fiscal consolidation and reducing the amount by which public spending should be cut.
That was clearly on account of special circumstances that the country went through, she noted.
"When we discussed with Jordanian authorities how public money should be spent, we proposed more expenditure on health and education, and less on energy subsidies," Lagarde explained.
"When we discussed how the energy subsidy should be replaced by cash transfers, we agreed that 70 per cent of the population benefiting from these subsidies should receive cash transfers," Lagarde elaborated.
"So, we really focus on how best to use public money that is available to ensure that, at the end of the day, it is in the country's interest to restore the financial position, to reduce the debt in the long term and to reduce the deficit," she continued.
She said the IMF works in partnership with authorities; it is their decision, their programme, their country and their population.
"What they do is theirs not ours," said Lagarde.
Jordan and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) will negotiate a new cooperation programme as the 36-month Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) ends in August.

Beyond facilitator? The state in global value chains and global production networks
By RGS-IBG Managing Editor: Academic Publications March 14, 2017 March 13, 2017
2 Comments on Beyond facilitator? The state in global value chains and global production networks
Rory Horner, University of Manchester, United Kingdom
Donald Trump, quoted in The Financial Times (2017). Image available via Pixabay.
Not so long ago, proposed policies to "repatriate international supply chains" as part of national-oriented initiatives openly marketed as protectionist, would have been quite difficult to imagine. Yet, like in many issue areas, Donald Trump's approach to trade policy is unconventional. His planned trade policies, including import taxes, have been met with widespread condemnation, with many questioning how they may work in an era of global value chains (GVCs).
The irony of Trump advocating protectionism to support American manufacturing while visiting Boeing, which reportedly draws on parts manufactured in over 60 countries, has been pointed to. Former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt has tweeted that: "If Trump wants to close down global value chains he will close down Boeing as well. Among others".
Meanwhile, in relation to the UK's planned exit from the European Union, questions have been raised about how the UK's new proposed trade policies might work in the context of global value chains. Theresa May has advocated sector by sector deals, yet there is scepticism as to the practicalities of how this might work. The automobile industry in the UK, for example, is dependent on products crossing back and forth across borders many times. The effects of any trade barriers are thus magnified.
Such political developments in both the UK and USA are dramatic examples of the increasing empirical relevance of state roles beyond facilitating GVCs (or related global production networks – GPNs). Not so long ago, the dominant emphasis in research on GVCs and GPNs was arguably on how state's played a facilitator role – whether through choice or seemingly facing little other option – assisting firms (either major global corporations or their suppliers) in relation to the challenges of the global economy.
Indeed, the global organisation of production accelerated greatly over the last two decades during the neoliberal era of market-promotion, falling trade barriers and the belief in limiting state intervention. In this context, research on global value chains and production networks has valuably highlighted the uneven power dynamics in global industries, moving beyond dominant state-centric approaches to understanding economic development.
Yet, increasingly a variety of other state roles beyond facilitator are of increasing prominence, including as regulator, producer (state-owned enterprises) and buyer (public procurement). In a new article in Geography Compass which synthesises a variety of recent research on the role of the state in GVCs and GPNs, I highlight four different such state roles, as indicated in the table below:
Table 1. Typology of state roles within global production networks
Role Definition Examples
Facilitator Assisting firms in GPNs in relation to the challenges of the global economy Tax incentives, subsidies, export processing zones, incentives for R&D, implementing and negotiating favourable trade policies, inter-state lobbying
Regulator Measures that limit and restrict the activities of firms within GPNs State marketing boards, price controls, restrictions on foreign investment, trade policy (tariffs, quotas), patent laws, labour regulation, quality controls, standards implementation
Producer State-owned firms, which compete for market share with other firms within GPNs State-owned companies e.g. in oil, mining.
Buyer State purchases output of a firm Public procurement e.g. of military equipment, pharmaceuticals.
Source: Author's construction.
While the relevance of roles beyond facilitator is highlighted by, and may get increasing attention with, Donald Trump's suggested policies and the UK's planned exit from the European Union and, their relevance is longer-standing. The Economist (2013) highlighted a growth in protectionist measures in 2013, to provide just one example of the relevance of a regulatory role. Meanwhile, state-owned companies are significant actors in the global economy – involving a producer role. Moreover, a buyer role is highlighted through public procurement which has been estimated to comprise an average of between 13% and 20% of GDP worldwide (OECD, 2013).
Future research attention is needed to the influence and viability of the regulator, buyer and producer roles and how they are manifest in a context of a potential retreat from, or even reformulation of, economic globalisation.
Significantly for any current move towards "protectionism", the location of states within a world of GVCs and GPNs means both that current policy initiatives are likely to vary and to have different implications from earlier eras where states intervened to promote national interests. The implications of growing neo-nationalism for GVCs and GPNs, and vice-versa, are uncertain, but clearly something to watch!

Urban vigilante Gwen Stacy and her police captain father haven't been on the best of terms since she revealed her secret identity as Spider-Woman to him, but it's time for them to have a much-needed chat. Gwen's life is becoming increasingly dangerous as supervillains and cops (led by Captain Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher in the regular Marvel Universe) try to take her down, and her father is acutely aware of the threats to his daughter's safety. In this preview of next week's Spider-Gwen #3, George begs Gwen to give up her secret identity and go back to life a normal young adult woman, but anyone that knows superhero comics knows what her answer is going to be.
Writer Jason Latour has been having a lot of fun working in the alternate universe of this title, introducing familiar Marvel faces with new twists to their characters. Matt Murdock works for New York City's Kingpin instead of against him, Ben Grimm is a grizzled cop, and at the center of it all is superhero Gwen Stacy trying to balance the pressures of her personal life with those of her vigilante lifestyle. Gwen's characterization is a blend of Barbara Gordon (hip young hero with cop father) and Peter Parker (bit by a radioactive spider), but the creative team has given her an attitude that distances her from those influences.

« ABA Consumer Protection Conference Focuses on Big Data, Internet of Things and Ad Substantiation Standards | Main | Measuring the stakes in King v. Burwell »
Should Macao Music Group Be Able to Identify Twitter Users Criticizing Its CEO?
We recently filed an amicus brief about the standards for subpoenas identifying anonymous Internet users accused of defamatory or otherwise wrongful communications in a surprising venue - the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The underlying case was filed in the Western District of Washington by Macao Music Group, an offshore conglomerate of companies making pro audio and music equipment, and by a Washington state subsidiary, against the anonymous authors of a pair of parody Twitter accounts named "FakeUli" and "NotUliBehringer," playing on the name of Macao's CEO, Uli Behringer.
The complaint in the case asserts that various tweets accused Behringer of consorting with prostitutes, and accused the companies of making shoddy products and encouraging domestic violence and child abuse. Plaintiffs then issued a subpoena in the Northern District of California. Twitter, however, resisted the subpoena on the ground that there was no proof of wrongdoing, and plaintiffs moved to compel, telling the Court about the Dendrite line of cases (with emphasis on one of the cases, Salehoo v Doe, decided in the forum court, the Western District of Washington, and arguing that those standards were met because the statements were so plainly defamatory. Twitter took no position on whether the standard had been met, but simply urged the Court not to compel compliance with the subpoena unless the Court was satisfied that the Dendrite standard had been satisfied.
Why the Northern District of California Needs to Get These Cases Right
The United States District Court for the Northern District of California plays an especially significant role in balancing the First Amendment rights of anonymous Internet speakers against the right of alleged victims of wrongful speech online to secure judicial redress for their injuries, because so many of the companies that host online speech are located in the Bay Area (for example, in addition to Twitter, Automattic, Google, Typepad, Weebly, Yahoo and Yelp are there). Consequently, even when cases are filed in federal courts elsewhere, under Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, subpoenas for identifying information must be issued from that Court, and motions to compel or to quash will typically be litigated there. In a series of early contested cases, judges in that district, led by the example of the highly respected Magistrate Judge Wayne Brazil in Highfields Capital v. Doe, recognized the rightness of the Dendrite approach.
There is always the danger that a case can go forward without anybody calling the relevant law to the judge's attention – the plaintiffs have no incentive to do so, and the ISP's, although they generally follow the Cyberslapp Coalition's recommendation by giving notice, and will generally object to the subpoena to make sure that their users will have enough time to find counsel and move to quash if they can afford lawyers, also tend to regard themselves as only stakeholders. Consequently, most of them will not pay their lawyers to go to court to ensure that Dendrite is followed. So, all too often, there is nobody advocating the interests of the absent Does, and judges do not necessarily have the staff support to find the relevant caselaw when it is omitted from the briefs before them, not to speak of analyzing the complaint sufficiently to identify flaws that might be obvious to a practitioner who follows the area closely.
Perhaps judges should do in these sorts of cases what they do for pro se plaintiffs who file civil rights complaints, and develop a pro bono panel to which they refer cases to private counsel who might undertake a limited representation addressed solely to the subpoena issues. That should not be hard in the Northern District of California, where there are many lawyers in private practice who follow these issues, not to speak of concerned non-profits such as the ACLU of Northern California and EFF.
In any event, failing such developments, there have been a number of recent cases where Northern District of California judges departed from Dendrite, and in which it took an amicus brief to steer them back to the right approach. In the Ron Paul case,for example, the problem was caused by a disingenuous ex parte motion for early discovery seeking to identify the authors of a parody YouTube video; the motion papers deliberately cited inapplicable precedent and ignored the Dendrite line of cases. In Art of Living v. Does, the judge generalized from cases involving the downloading of copyrighted songs and movies to hold that there was a broad intellectual property exception to Dendrite. In both cases, after considering our briefs, the judges applied the right standard; in neither case did the Does end up being identified.
How the Decision in Macao Music Went Wrong
In Macao Music, these reasons for going awry were absent. Not only did Twitter file a short brief citing the Dendrite rule (going further to protect its users than most ISP's do in such circumstances), but the plaintiffs did as well, even if they rather misconstrued the standard by contending that allegations of defamation are sufficient to override the right to speak anonymously. Given its capacity as a stakeholder that was not taking a position on whether the subpoena should be enforced, Twitter did not argue that Macao's legal analysis was faulty, and Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler did not notice the problems either. In fact, instead of discussing cases involving the First Amendment right to speak anonymously, the judge cited a series of inapposite cases where courts had considered whether there was a First Amendment privilege not to provide discovery, cases where the discovery was sought to establish claims and defenses against identified parties. Applying this standard, the judge decided because the statements alleged in the complaint were "pure defamation," the Does' speech was plainly unprotected under the First Amendment and hence the Does were subject to being identified unless the Does themselves filed a motion to quash and persuaded the Court that their names should remain private.
I first heard about the case from Santa Clara Law professor Eric Goldman. Once I took a look at the underlying documents on PACER, I decided that Judge Beeler's decision should not be allowed to stand, not just because she had applied the wrong law, but even more because it was apparent that the plaintiffs had no basis for identifying the Doe defendants. The motion to compel discovery justified plaintiffs' request based only on claims of defamation and breach of employment contract, but complaint had been filed in federal court, not based on diversity jurisdiction over state-law claims, but based on a series of truly laughable federal-law claims. For example, plaintiffs claimed that the parody Twitter accounts infringed Macao Music Group's trademarks and hence were actionable under the Lanham Act (someone would be confused about whether these parody accounts were sponsored by Macao?) or constituted cybersquatting in violation of the ACPA (where was the domain name? where the bad faith intent to profit?). Without these federal claims, the suit belonged in state court. And on the existing record even the defamation claims were apparently spurious — the complaint did not identify the allegedly defamatory tweets but just characterized them generally; it did not appear to be the plaintiff companies, but rather their CEO, who was being criticized; and most of the tweets were four years old, far outside the statute of limitations.
Renewed Efforts to Hold Plaintiffs to the Dendrite Standard
Happily, Twitter was unwilling to allow its users to be compulsorily identified without a judge having employed the proper First Amendment test. As a stakeholder, it did not feel able to argue forcefully that the test had not been met, but it did move for "clarification," gently pointing out to the Magistrate Judge that she had applied the wrong standard instead of the legal standard that both sides had agreed was the right one, and asking her to "clarify" whether identification was properly ordered under the correct rule of law. I give Twitter great credit for its willingness to file this brief.
Supporting Twitter's efforts, Public Citizen has now filed an amicus brief, arguing rather more directly that Judge Beeler applied the wrong legal standard and urging her to provide the correct one. In addition, we point out the many flaws in the plaintiffs legal claims, even on the face of the complaint, apart from the lack of any evidence that anything the anonymous defendants have said about Behringer or the plaintiff companies is false. We are especially grateful to Cathy Gellis who provided excellent comments on the brief, and Paul Jasper, a partner at Schnader Harrison who agreed to be pro bono local counsel on the brief on exceptionally short notice when the lawyer we had initially identified as pro bono local counsel had to pull out because other lawyers at her firm perceived a positional conflict with some of their paid cases.

Q: OpenGL ES Startup I done a 1:1 copy of the iOS App "MohrenJass" to Android.
 -> Austria Cardgame.. Good training example :)
Good introduction to Activity, Views, Canvas, Preference, APIs, and more
Now i done the OpenGL ES Sample from the Developer page.
I read about OpenGL but i have a Question about it.
There are realy some points in it who give me some hard times.
Matrix, vertex, shader, fragment, projection, camera,...
Its not that i not understand it, but only to know "do this when that"
is not enough for searching errors in code...
I think about trying the ReplicaIsland code next,
but should i start with OpenGL first?
I found this fro OpenGL -> Prefer it because its german
http://wiki.delphigl.com/index.php/Hauptseite
(Dont know if its possible with my stand of knowledge)
Also found this
http://www.learnopengles.com/android-lesson-one-getting-started/
Or skip this and go into ReplicaIsland?
Learning by doing was always a good way,
but sometimes its a punch in my face...
I wont to try next a simple 2D Application.
A Square to go left/ right, jump above a other Square or somthing.
Only for learning to reach someday my target of realy create a App :)
I also read something about Unity, but i think its not the way i should start that.
Possible if i know what i am doing it will get with it easy...
Well.. I hope you have any tipps for me!

A: As for libraries such as Unity or Cocos 2D and such you will be able to start with your application quicker but they usually limit your capabilities as a developer at one point or another. If this is for a purpose of creating a simple game then you should go for it. If the goal is to get as much knowledge as possible I suggest you try the openGL. It is not easy and it does not get easier over time but it is worth it. And if you later turn to some library everything will be as clear as day.
So about the tutorials and examples there is a fact that they are in most cases misleading. They will explain to you how something is done but the code structure will be completely unmaintainable. If you want a good code that will help you over time you should begin with creating a simple "debug" scene to which you can then add components you later expect to need. For instance you should create a class that can contain an openGL context which should later be extended to include caches such as textures, shaders... Then you should have a class containing the view you draw to, the frame buffer and the render buffers you use on it. It should contain all the necessary tools to initialize with view, enable depth buffers, stencil buffers, presenting the content... All of these and more can be more or less pasted from examples and tutorials, all you need to do is restructure them. This would be your base construct as you will be able to create all components to draw and present but can not draw with it. To test it all you can do is try to clear the buffer to some value and see if you get the expected result.
After this the fun part begins: Creating the classes to handle and compile shaders, classes to create textures from images, matrix stacks, VBOs... Again all of these can be pasted from web but need restructuring.
So when you have all this necessary tools you can actually start working on the game itself. At this point most people take the wrong turn. Try to create objects that contain all the data you need to present a certain element in your game. For instance you have a character which is defined with a location, speed and an image (texture). This object can then have a draw method and a move method. The draw method will use the location to translate the matrix, will generate or reuse some vertex data, bind the appropriate texture and simply draw itself. The move in this case will only use the speed to change the location. As you go deeper more components are usually added and the situation can get complicated. But imagine only having what I wrote above you can create 3 images: character, enemy, bullet; then create as many objects as you need at any time with this images, move them around as you please, create crash detecting (which is very simple with this data) and you have a simple game which can become very advanced very quickly only by adding a few tricks.

Colchester Borough Council blaze digital transformation trail, and revolutionises waste & recycling services at the same time.
Colchester is best known as Britain's oldest recorded town and first city. Now, its Digital Strategy 2017-22 sets out an exciting vision of Colchester Borough as the best-connected place in the East of England. The Digital Strategy is designed to enhance and build on the Borough's Economic Development Strategy, to help deliver the infrastructure and the investment required to secure value-added employment for a rapidly growing population.
Higher employment and a growing population creates ever increasing demands on the Council's waste & recycling collection operations, and related services such as street cleansing, winter gritting and gully emptying.
With training and on-going support from ISL, the team at Colchester created new routes using RouteSmart-for-ArcGIS that are as efficient as possible within the constraints of vehicles, working hours, and depot, MRF & landfill locations, as well as the road network.
As Kieron Johnston, Strategic Lead for ICT, Communications & Marketing at CBC states, "We completely redesigned our waste & recycling service using the latest technology & real time data to optimise and automate processes. Our recycling rates increased by 10%…. real world improvement through digital innovation". The innovation has been recognised at a national level and the Council is a finalist in the Digital Transformation category of the Municipal Journal annual awards.
To ensure drivers follow the optimised routes over the customised travel network (provided by the Ordnance Survey), and also improve driver communication, the Council has deployed the in-cab solution "Navigator" from ISL into the vehicles. The depot based team can either send out broadcast messages and notifications to all drivers – e.g. 'traffic delay – use High Street access to facility', or can send and receive bespoke messages to/from individual vehicles. The Council rolled out Navigator onto Panasonic Toughpads – ruggedized hardware that can cope with the physical stresses of waste & recycling vehicles, and have proven reliability in difficult conditions.
Colchester is also utilising ISL's Fusion software – an online system to manage day-to-day operations. Fusion enables teams at the depot to view route progress in real time over the planned route and view incidents & service reports made by the drivers, amongst other features.
As Stuart Henshaw points out "The Colchester team continues to be committed to maintaining its newly adopted connected technology – route planning, in-cab and in-depot technology – updating this daily and using the 'service intelligence' it provides to further improve the services the Council provides." He also makes note that "we were impressed by the ambition at Colchester – the project being delivered from startup to go-live in only four months – half the typical period for a similar project.
"As the relationship between ISL and Colchester continues, the project teams will be evaluating other digital innovation products such as "Bin2Day" – a citizen smartphone app that enables users to create reminders for bin collection days, review what recycling goes into which bin and receive messages from the waste team about service changes, such as after a Bank Holiday.

Interim CBI chief M Nageswara Rao alleged the city police took charge of all evidence pertaining to the Saradha chit fund scam, some of which might have been destroyed or caused to disappear.
A CBI team in Kolkata to question the city police chief was detained on Sunday evening and West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee launched a sit-in demonstration, as an unprecedented conflict broke out between the state government and the Centre.
Interim CBI chief M Nageswara Rao alleged the city police took charge of all evidence pertaining to the Saradha chit fund scam, some of which might have been destroyed or caused to disappear. But the state government received support from several opposition parties that said the Centre's action would jeopardise the country's federal structure.
"The Supreme Court asked us to unearth the larger conspiracy, including the involvement of influential (individuals). We will bring it to the notice of the Supreme Court," CBI joint director Pankaj Srivastava told a local TV channel. Nageswara Rao told news agencies that CRPF personnel were deployed to protect CBI and other central government offices in Kolkata.
At the time of going to press, Banerjee was on her indefinite sit-in demonstration at Esplanade in the heart of Kolkata over the central probe agency's attempt to question city police chief Rajeev Kumar over the alleged scam that has already landed some of her party leaders in jail.
The CBI has been probing the matter since 2014 on instructions from the Supreme Court.
In November last year, West Bengal withdrew its general consent granted to the central investigating agency to conduct raids and probe cases in the state.
The CBI team led by deputy superintendent of police Tathagata Bardhan was barred by police personnel led by DCP (south division) Meeraj Khalid from entering Kumar's residence and taken to the Shakespeare Sarani police station. The CBI officials were later released.
Banerjee rushed to the city police chief's residence and accused the Centre of trying to destroy the country's federal structure. "Modi and Amit Shah have launched unprecedented atrocities on Bengal. They are trying to engineer a coup in Bengal because I organised the United India rally against them," she said before heading to Esplanade, where she sat on a chair placed along a road until a dais was raised.
Sitting there, she received phone calls from Congress president Rahul Gandhi, NCP supremo Sharad Pawar and SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. Banerjee also received support from other opposition leaders, including Omar Abdullah of the National Conference, Arvind Kejriwal of the AAP, MK Stalin of the DMK, Lalu Prasad of the RJD and Chandrababu Naidu of the TDP.
"I spoke with Mamata Di tonight and told her we stand shoulder to shoulder with her. The happenings in Bengal are a part of the unrelenting attack on India's institutions by Mr Modi & the BJP. The entire opposition will stand together & defeat these fascist forces," Gandhi tweeted.

Why It's Important to Get the United States Back to the Pledging Table at IFAD
As donors gather next week in Rome to pledge funds to the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), they may be wondering where the United States is. During a recent debate on the floor of the US House of Representatives, Congresswoman Maxine Waters raised the possibility that the Trump administration may not make a pledge to IFAD. If true, this would represent the loss of the fund's largest donor and could jeopardize funding from other donors this year. Given the generally high marks this independent fund earns for development effectiveness, the uncertainty around a US pledge is troubling.
In this "America First" moment, it's worth asking when it comes to IFAD, what's in it for the United States and what will be lost if the United States drops out?
IFAD is the only multilateral institution dedicated exclusively to eradicating poverty and hunger in rural areas of developing countries. It was established in 1977 as one of the major outcomes of the 1974 World Food Conference, which was organized in response to the food crises of the early 1970s. To date it has granted or lent about US$12.9 billion for over 1,000 agriculture and rural development programs in 124 different countries.
The need for this support is clear. According to the 2017 State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World report, for the first time since 2003 the number of chronically undernourished people in the world has increased, up to 815 million from 777 million in 2015. And the Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that keeping pace with population growth in the developing world will require a 50 percent increase in the production of food and other agricultural products between 2012 and mid-century.
Because most of IFAD's financing is provided at highly concessional rates that low-income countries can afford, its capital must be periodically replenished in order to prevent a drop in lending capacity. Next week, the fund's 176 members will wrap up discussions on the parameters for the eleventh such replenishment and the fund's donors will make their pledges.
Reflecting its economic status and long-standing leadership role in the multilateral system, the United States has traditionally been the largest single contributor to IFAD replenishments. Its US$90 million pledge to the Tenth Replenishment of IFAD's resources (2016-2018) represented 8.7 percent of the total. While significant, this share is much smaller than is the case for other international funding bodies, such as the Global Fund (33 percent) or the World Bank's International Development Association (17 percent). Moreover, this US$90 million pledge helps leverage financing that enables IFAD to support a $7 billion program of work, representing a remarkable "leverage" ratio of almost 80 to 1.
IFAD has had a practice of complementing US bilateral assistance programs, thus magnifying the impact of USAID's work. For example, in northern Ghana, USAID and IFAD have worked together to improve the production and distribution of maize, soya, and sorghum by smallholder farmers. IFAD, USAID, and the US Department of Agriculture have also worked together on agricultural research and pest eradication, including the highly successful eradication of the screwworm in North Africa.
Whatever reason US officials might decide to withhold a pledge from IFAD, it can't be due to the fund's effectiveness. In a joint CGD-Brookings assessment, IFAD outscored US bilateral assistance on all dimensions. And another recent independent assessment noted that IFAD has sound fiduciary policies and practices and is fully committed to a results agenda.
When it comes to a US pledge, the good news may be that congressional support for the fund has been very strong on a bipartisan basis over many years. Even as Congress routinely cut Bush and Obama administration requests for funding to the World Bank and other regional development banks, congressional funding for IFAD was routinely protected. More recently, the US government's global hunger and food security approach embodied in the bipartisan Global Food Security Act (GFSA) of 2016 closely mirrors the fund's mandate and strategic priorities. These forces could ultimately prevail upon a reluctant Trump administration to come back to the pledging table sometime this year.
But as all of IFAD's donors meet next week, it will be important for IFAD's allies in Congress and elsewhere to make clear that US support for the fund remains strong and any lack of pledge at the moment is a temporary problem.

Russian authorities ruled responsible for Chechen women's disappearance
3 June 2008, 00:00 UTC
In a ruling made on 29 May 2008, the European Court of Human Rights has found the Russian authorities responsible for the May 2003 enforced disappearance of two young Chechen women, Aminat Dugaeva and Kurbika Zinabdieva. "The Court's ruling is a step forward in the search for justice for Aminat, Kurbika and their families. We will continue to campaign on their behalf and urge the Russian authorities to ensure that the women's disappearance is fully investigated and that those responsible are brought to justice," said Nicola Duckworth of Amnesty International. The women, members of the same family, were abducted on the night of 16 May 2003 from Kurbika's home in Ulus-Kert, Chechnya, by a group of 20 men wearing blue uniforms and balaclavas. Aminat was only 15 years old at the time. Kurbika, who suffered from a brain tumour and epilepsy, needed constant care. Their families have had no news of them since. In its decision of 29 May, Gekhayeva and others v. Russia, the European Court of Human Rights strongly supported the family's allegation that the abductors were in fact Russian servicemen. The Court also criticised the Russian authorities for their failure to provide documents about the investigation into the case. The European Court found that the official investigation, launched in 2003, has been incomplete and inadequate. It was suspended from June 2004 to August 2006 and so far has failed to identify those responsible for the women's disappearance. As a result, the Court found the Russian authorities to be in grave violation of the European Convention on Human Rights, concluding that:
There had been a violation of the right to life, given that the women had to be presumed dead following their unacknowledged detention by Russian servicemen and that the authorities had not justified the use of lethal force by their agents. The unacknowledged detention of Aminat and Kurbika violated their right to liberty and security. The Russian authorities' handling of complaints by the victims' families constituted inhuman treatment, given the stress and anguish they had suffered.
The Court also concluded that the Russian authorities had failed to carry out an effective criminal investigation. Serious shortcomings included the authorities' initial refusal to open a criminal investigation and the suspension of the investigation for more than two years.

Dan Jones: nursery rhyme collector extraordinaire
by Chiara Rimella/ April 4, 2014/ People/ No Comments/
Dan talking at Rich Mix in Bethnal Green Pic: Dan Jones
Dozens of masks line the walls of Dan Jones' kitchen, occupying all the empty space over the fireplace, the cupboards and his greenly-lit aquarium.
Collectors often don't realise how obvious their pursuits are – while we talk, this white-bearded man feels compelled to point at the multicoloured memorabilia hanging behind him by means of explanation.
"You see, traveling around I got into gathering bits and pieces" he says showing me the Balinese, Indian, African, Korean artefacts, "and when you start…"
Gathering memories systematically is, by definition, a meticulous pursuit, but not all people who do are natural-born archivists.
Sitting in front of me is someone who doesn't stake butterflies behind a glass panel. His material is very much alive and kicking: it jumps, claps, somersaults. Dan Jones collects nursery rhymes.
He has been doing it for so long that he can't even really remember why he started. "It wasn't systematic, it happened by accident" he admits, as if it was the most logical thing in the world.
It's only in the last 15 years or so that he's started being a bit more methodical about it – even inputting the songs into a mysterious software which turns out to be Excel. "I'm not very good electronically," he chuckles. A 'ferocious' selection of 1500 of them will soon be turned into an archive at the British Library.
As well as recording games and rhymes, Jones paints them – the first time he did was for his wife's project in an art school; "Blimey, that was 50 or 60 years ago" he says, surprising himself.
His enormous murals are filled with children playing, like happy L. S Lowry figurines, and eclectic and colourful characters suspended in the midst of the songs' lyrics. His works adorn the Museum of Childhood, the National Children's Bureau as well as Bethnal Green Children's Library and the University of Newcastle.
A primary school teacher and a youth worker for decades, Jones has been in contact with kids for most of his life. After illustrating a book by Michael Rosen and Susanna Steel, 'Inky Pinky Ponky', he definitely got a taste for what was to become his lifetime's project. Now in his 70s, he has stopped teaching but carries on his part-time work for Amnesty – 25 years on from when he started with them, he still gives conferences and talks about human rights to the children in the local schools.
As I sit on a lino-covered table surrounded by sturdy IKEA chairs that look hard to break, I note that this kitchen has been carefully childproofed. The toys scattered in a corner of the room – a little red rocking horse, random bits of jigsaws – look like they've been played with not that long ago. Unmistakable thumps from the floor above tell me that a heavy-footed nipper is not far away. Indeed, shortly afterwards Rumi appears in the kitchen, waiting for his cup of tea.
Jones' daughter and two sons have all given him grandchildren – while Rumi and his mum live with him, the others live with their families in Cornwall and Nagano, in Japan. Of course, they have provided plenty an international nursery rhyme for their grandpa.
Kids do not seem to be able to leave Jones' life. While he's at the schools giving talks for Amnesty, a little walk around the playgrounds allows for the best first-hand research. "Because I'm an old chap, some kids will go through a process of self-censorship and avoid the rude words. The scatological end is relatively mild, but obviously there is a big fascination with wee and poo and farting", he says, smiling under his bushy moustache.
Sometimes, though, the rhymes come to him, overheard by chance. "I'll be on the train, I'll hear something and I'll go 'hang on, can you do that again?'" Like the best myths, or the funniest phrases mangled by a round of Chinese whispers, rhymes are imperfectly handed down from person to person. Which means that randomness and fortuitous changes can decide whether a game survives or not.

"Now and again you can really trace where things come from – take Yankee Doodle, which was a spoof by British soldiers mocking the 'scruffy' Americans" he explains. Stone-throwing games, which can be found in Ghana, Grenada and England, obviously travelled along slavery routes. But methodical Victorian scholars who liked orderly explanations would force meanings onto songs that could not be classified so stringently. "They just assumed that Ring a Ring O Roses was about the plague – we all fall down because we are dead – but it's complete rubbish". To this day, because of the differences in the many international variants of the song, the origins remain confused.
More often than not, establishing ancestry is almost impossible. Aware of the difficulties, Jones has settled on being happy with trying: "I like to poke at the origin of things", he says. When different versions of the same game appear all around the world, as far back as four or five thousand years, certainties must be given up.
Pictures of kids playing stone, paper, scissors can even be found in pharaoh's tombs. "Who started it? Where did it come from? We'll never know," he says, with a hint of excitement about the slippery matter he's got at hand. All we know is that nice tunes and words are misunderstood and travel and transform without apparent control.
"It seems to me that a lot of the best things that happen are accidents", he murmurs. Like, for example, his mum, artist Pearl Binder, moving to Whitechapel in the 1930s, and living in the shop of a ostler who sold hay for horses.
She went on to illustrate a book called 'The Real East End' with pictures of places that she loved and felt something special about. "It would be silly to say there is no connection between her work and mine, because I grew up with it, but I think my work is independent from that", he says.
After being evacuated during the war to the Lake District (where, Jones tells me, he was 'nearly born in the middle of Lake Windermere' due to an accidentally mis-timed rowing trip) she returned to the East End.
Since 1973, Jones has been living in the same house in Cable Street – only a couple of doors down from where he used to live in with his parents. The bright red front door opens on a narrow corridor crowded by his vivid paintings.
A lot of them are about the local area. "I like to draw what I see around me", says Jones. Despite having chronicled the big political and social events that shaped Stepney, he resists defining himself as an activist. "I guess you can't exist in an area without entangling to some extent", he shrugs.
Even just as a spectator, Jones has seen the area change profoundly. The East End has always been a multicultural area, but ever more nationalities are mingling in its streets – even communities from remote and unknown regions like the Xinjiang province of China. "The thing is, the world has moved next door", says Jones.
Nowhere can this be seen more than in the local schools. As an assiduous frequenter of playgrounds, Jones has witnessed how cultural intermingling works and sees it reflected in nursery rhymes. "Criss-cross exchanges do happen. Two little girls once taught me a song – one of them was Polish, the other one Bengali, but they shared the same rhymes".
Visiting most playgrounds around Tower Hamlets has also given Jones the definitive proof that, against widely held popular belief, outdoor games are not dying at all. "Of course, a lot of games we used to play you don't see anymore, but cascades of new stuff keep coming in daily".
Not even computers and tablets can destroy the joy of a silly dance routine. When Jones stands up to mimic a game he used to play as a child, 'Jimmy Knacker', I realise this pleasure cannot be cancelled by anything, including age. "It was a bad boy game, five kids would make a long horse, then another lot would jump on and the horse would try to wiggle them. It was such a dangerous game…" He bends down in his trousers, slightly baggy at the back, and his sunny orange jumper, and we laugh together.
Kids' games and songs have always been full of violence – often only invoked, but gruesome nonetheless. Wolves eating children, bears snatching cubs and bridges collapsing are staples in games around the world. "It's true", he confirms, "some are really, really dark – about being drunk, murder and death, often involving nasty things that happen to teachers".
Yet, there's always a light-heartedness to them, a humorous side that makes them playful. "I think they're a way for kids to explore what teenagers are up to, what's going to happen when they grow up, and to come to terms with it", he says.
His collection and his paintings share this dual nature. They are silly and at the same time important in order to remember where we come from and how we can interpret the world. "The silliness, the nonsense – I love it. I'm fascinated by the poetry in kids' rhymes".
Which is why most adults are happy to contribute to his endeavour, and enjoy doing it – reverting back to childhood becomes justified, and definitely not something to be ashamed of.
Walking along one of the murals at Jones' recent exhibition at Shoreditch's Rich Mix, it was virtually impossible to resist the temptation to start singing the rhymes once I'd recognised them. They opened a sudden window to buried memories: breathless running, bruises on knees, friends I'd forgotten the name of.
I sing my songs to Jones, even if he doesn't understand the Italian words he looks on fascinated. When I ask him what is his 'childhood song', he pauses. Then he looks at me, in a moment of naïve, fleeting intimacy.
"There's this one, that my dad taught us – he was in the war so I must have been five or so", he says, tentatively. "I remember him saying it was a 'formative' thing". He starts reciting it like a poem, but as the lines go on, he slips into a childish rhythm, and lights up.
I went down the road to buy a penny whistle
A copper came behind and stole my penny whistle
I asked him for it back, he says he hasn't got it
Oi oi you curly wibby you got it in your pocket!
"Funny thing, isn't it? But it shapes the way you think", he says. It's a brief glimpse of each other's childhood selves, but it makes me understand why, once you start, it's so hard to give up on peeking into our past at the contagious sound of clapping.

These are the changes to Child Tax Credit which start today
The move is expected to hit low income families the hardest

Thousands of families are set to be affected by new rules on Child Tax Credit which come into force today.
The changes mean the tax credit will now only be paid to the two first children in any family.
They have taken two years to come into force since being announced by former Chancellor George Osborne.
Lower income families are expected to be hit the hardest, with estimates showing the cuts will affect 515,000 families overall by 2020.
Child Tax Credit is paid by the Government to low income families to help parents with the costs of bringing up a child.
Couples make a joint claim, and if you're a single parent, the resident parent is usually the one to make the claim.
The amount of money parents are entitled to depends on factors including income and other circumstances. You do not need to be working to claim Child Tax Credit.
Those responsible for children receive money for each child who qualifies. However the amount of children it helps per family is set to change.

How to make your ISAs work for you in new tax year
Child Tax Credit - which is worth up to £2,780 per child per year - will only be paid for the first two children in any family.
Historically there has not been a limit on how many children a parent can claim for.
If your children were born before this date, credits for three or more children will still be applicable.
A number of other changes are coming into force today (Image: Owen Humphreys/PA Wire)
However, if you have a third child born on or after April 6, 2017, you won't get any more money for the extra child.
It is controversial because it will deny huge sums of money to large families in future.
The Government is also removing the family element - a payment of £545 for a newborn first child. Parents of children born before Thursday will still get this.
When is it coming in?
This arrives today, Thursday (April 6) 2017.
What is the cut?
The Government is aiming to find £1.2bn by 2020 with this cutback.
Child Tax Credit, worth up to £2,780 per child per year, will now only be paid for the first two children in any family.
This will deny huge sums to large families in future, and women who had a third child through rape will have to prove their ordeal to get a special exception.
Lower-income families on Child Tax Credit (CTC) with more than two children where the third (or later) child is born after April 6, 2017.
The same group of people where the family has stopped claiming CTC for six months or more, then returns to it.
Who isn't affected?
Children already alive, if their parents keep claiming without a long break
Children born through rape, but the mother has to prove this
Twins or triplets born to families who had one child
Changes to car tax in April 2017: The cars most affected by the new rules
Children looked after by a 'friend or family carer'
Children who have been adopted (except by step-parents)
Disabled children, who are counted separately
Four other Tory benefit cuts are set to hit families across the UK. These include
1. £30-a-week disability benefit cuts
This one comes in from today.
Nationally this will cutback on £350m by the end of this Parliament in 2020
From today, people claiming the disability benefit called Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) will be getting £29.05 less each week if they are deemed fit for Work Related Activity (WRAG).
This means instead of £102.15 per week, this particular group of people will now recieve £73.10 per week - which is the same as jobseekers' allowance.
Who is affected?
People who begin claiming ESA WRAG after today (April 3 2017)
People who stop claiming ESA for 12 weeks or more, then return to it.
Welsh nurseries might not be able to afford free childcare promised by the Welsh Government
Current claimants, as long as they keep claiming without a break of 12 weeks or more.
ESA claimants in the more serious Support Group.
People who already receive ESA who are moved from the Support Group to the WRAG group.
2. Young people and housing benefit
It already has - on April 1.
This one is aimed at saving £105m by 2020.
Jobseekers aged 18 to 21 will no longer be able to get Housing Benefit, worth varying amounts and always paid directly to the landlord. It is supposedly to stop them going into a "life on benefits".
Charities have warned this could force thousands of young people onto the streets.
People aged 18 to 21 on jobseekers' allowance who are eligible for Housing Benefit.
Who isn't affected:
Current claimants
Young people earning at least £89.60 a week or apprentices
Young people who have their own children to care for
Young people in temporary accommodation for the homeless
Young people subject to / threatened with domestic violence
Orphans and care leavers
Youngsters on some disability benefits (the 'daily living' part of PIP)
Youngsters whose parents live abroad
Youngsters where it's 'inappropriate' to return to their parents' home (but charities warn this will be hard to prove)
3. The Family element
This one arrives on Thursday (April 6).
It is aimed at saving £540m by 2020.
30 hours of free childcare scheme may not be possible for Welsh Government to deliver - claims charity
An extra payment in Child Tax Credit called the "family element", worth £545 a year, is being shut down.
This will deprive a many new claimants of a big payment, yet keep handing it to people who are already on the system.
Lower-income families who claim Child Tax Credit entirely for children born after April 6, 2017.
Families who claim Child Tax Credit for any child born before April 6, 2017.
4. Changes for people who have been widowed
Thursday, April 6.
£100million a year in the long term
Three different benefits are being replaced with one new Bereavement Support Payment. It's worth £3,500, plus £350 a month for 18 months, for claimants with dependent children (£2,500 plus £100 a month for other claimants).
The Mirror reports that while this will work out better for some, charities have warned the payments period is too short and widowed people are often in need of money for longer.
Anyone who can claim bereavement benefits.
This means people whose spouse or civil partner dies after April 6, 2017, but the surviving partner must be under the state pension age and the deceased must have paid sufficient National Insurance.
People already receiving bereavement benefits or whose spouse/civil partner died before April 6, 2017.

Committee clerk Heather Lank can be reached at (613) 995-5013. Her fax number is (613) 947-2104.
All postage to the Senate and the House of Commons is free.
Only you can stop the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Please send me trancgi of the hearings of the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs into the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
This letter is to show my support for the amendments to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act as recommended by the Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy.
I agree with the Foundation that substance use is primarily a health and social issue, and that Canada has an obligation under international law and common decency to respect the human rights of all individuals.
I believe that all substances should be available for valid medical and scientific purposes, and that it should not be a criminal offence for an adult to possess a substance for personal use. I consider international human rights treaties to take precedence over international drug control treaties.
I would like to see an honest, objective, nonpartisan reassessment of Canadian drug policy, with harm reduction and public health as guiding principles.
I strongly urge the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs to support the amendments to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act as proposed by the Canadian Foundation for Drug Policy.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to receiving that trancgi of the Senate Committee hearings on this bill.
Please send me a copy of Bill C-8, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, as passed by Parliament on March 3rd, 1996.
This letter is to register my opposition to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. I am very disappointed that this bill has been sent straight back to the Senate, despite public opposition and the testimony of experts.
I urge your Department to recommend that the Controlled Drugs and Substances not become law until the Standing Committee on Health has completed a comprehensive review of Canada's drug policy, as recommended by the Parliamentary subcommittee on this bill.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to receiving a copy of Bill C-8, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, as passed by Parliament.

You are here: Home>Crimes and Incidents>Offences Against Property>Theft of boots at South Mimms
Hertfordshire Mercury, 30th June 1906
John Donovan, 60, labourer, pleaded not guilty to stealing a pair of boots, the property of Robert Jones, at South Mimms, on June 16th. Mr Murphy prosecuted, and the prisoner being very deaf, his Lordship asked Mr. Langton to defend him.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was seen by a little girl to take the boots and she told Mr. Jones, who went in pursuit, gave information to P.C. Dixon, and the prisoner was captured almost directly afterwards with the boots in his possession.
Prisoner said he had bought them from a strange man.
He was found guilty, and there being a long list of previous convictions, showing he had served 21 years' imprisonment, he was sentenced to six months' hard labour.

Is Your Navigation System On Point?
All of us have internal maps that shape how we think, feel, react, and relate to others.
As we encounter new experiences, we take out our maps to give us perspective (or a "frame") on those experiences. We're directed through all of life using those maps to guide us.
Unfortunately, we rarely pull out and analyze our maps. We don't see the map, we see WITH the map, all the while believing that the way we are perceiving the world is universally real. But everyone has a different map of reality. If you are listening to those around you, you'll begin to intuit a person's map of reality in the way they phrase their experiences when they speak.
Researchers find that the left side of our brains (the logic side) is committed to interpreting all of our overt behavior and emotional responses. Evidently, this is done so that the brain can have a consistent story of all that is happening at any given time.
Sometimes the left side will go to bizarre lengths to correlate events into a coherent story. Unfortunately, these explanations from the left side of our brains often contradict what we have in our maps on the right side (the "feeling", emotional side), which results in incongruence, double messages, and confusion for the listener.
So our perspective (our map) helps us to interpret the meaning of our experiences. But our interpretations are always bound by context.
In other words, a particular map that suits us just fine in one situation may not work well at all in another.
When you are operating in the Blue Zone in the middle of a conflict, your job is to listen carefully to how people are framing all of the situations involved in the conflict. Your task is to look over their shoulders as they consult their internal maps. Note to yourself whether or not these maps are helpful in moving the project, the relationship, the organization forward.
If the map is not helpful and in fact you are heading in the wrong direction your job is to offer a new map so that people can get a different orientation on what is actually happening.
To use an updated metaphor, sometimes you have to hit "alternate routes" on your GPS!
Of course it goes without saying that before you can help people get oriented correctly in conflict you have to be willing to do the hard and good work of taking an objective look at your own map!
