Re-assessing men's magazines
By Matthew Holloway - posted Friday, 23 December 2011 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
A new study to be published in the British journal of Psychology is set to have massive ramifications and has already kick started a re-assessment of soft core pornography.
The study by Psychologists from Middlesex University and the University of Surrey, showed participants quotes from men's magazines such as FHM, Loaded, and Zoo.
The participants were also shown quotes from convicted sex offenders which were taken from 'The Rapist Files: Interviews with Convicted Rapists written by Sussman & Bordwell
Participants were not informed which source the quotes came from, they were asked to assess for themselves based on the content.
Most participants were unable to distinguish the source of the quotes; the study also revealed that most male participants identified more strongly with the language expressed by the convicted rapists.
Dr Miranda Horvath from Middlesex University said:"We were surprised that participants identified more with the rapists' quotes, and we are concerned that the legitimisation strategies that rapists deploy when they talk about women are more familiar to these young men than we had anticipated."
The study has already had an impact in the UK where retailers have agreed to move all men's magazines to top shelves and censor front covers.
This issue has been big in the UK for a number of years; the release of this study will contribute immensely to the push for classification of men's magazines.
Going back to 2008 Labour MP Claire Curtis-Thomas called for men's magazines to be classified as pornography "The Sport or Zoo or Nuts are far harder, more sexually explicit, the women in these magazines are dehumanised."
Curtis-Thomas went on to say; "Zoo's Dictionary of Sex goes beyond anything we consider normal. You wouldn't think of defecating on a human being. Yet this is the type of 'education' made available in this literature."
Specific concerns lead Curtis-Thomas to initiate a report into the matter stating her concerns about the ease of access to the material and the detrimental impact it could have on young males.
The report surveyed students and found that 100% of girls found images in men's magazines to be offensive, only 11% of males felt the same and one-fifth admitted that the material encouraged them to see women as sex objects.

Georgia AG appoints new prosecutor in Ahmaud Arbery case
May 11, 2020 at 8:20 am EDT
By Richard Belcher, WSB-TV
ATLANTA — Channel 2′s Richard Belcher was the first to break the story that Georgia's attorney general has appointed a new prosecutor in the Ahmaud Arbery case.
Ahmaud Arbery, 25, was killed by a father and son as he jogged through their Glynn County neighborhood back in February. A video shot on a cellphone showed the confrontation between Arbery and the McMichaels after they confronted him with guns. It took 74 days for the McMichaels to be arrested for Arbery's death.
The McMichaels suspected Arbery had broken into a home nearby that is under construction. Channel 2 Action News obtained video that shows a man who appears to be Arbery entering the home. Authorities said the McMichaels, thinking he was a burglary suspect, pursued him.
Arbery was killed moments later.
On Monday, Attorney General Chris Carr named Cobb District Attorney Joyette Holmes to take over the case from special prosecutor Thomas Durden. Durden has recused himself from the case.
Carr officially made the announcement around 1:30 p.m.
"I appreciate District Attorney Tom Durden's involvement in the Ahmaud Arbery case," said Attorney General Chris Carr. "This case has grown in size and magnitude since he accepted the appointment on April 13, 2020, and as an experienced District Attorney, Tom has recognized that another office is better suited from a resource perspective to now handle the case. As a result, he has requested our office to appoint another District Attorney.
"Today, our office formally appointed District Attorney Joyette M. Holmes of the Cobb County Judicial Circuit to lead the prosecution. District Attorney Holmes is a respected attorney with experience, both as a lawyer and a judge, and the Cobb County District Attorney's office has the resources, personnel and experience to lead this prosecution and ensure justice is done."
Channel 2′s Tony Thomas spoke to Carr about his decision to appoint Holmes.
"From my perspective, it is to make sure we look at this from all angles and make sure the law was followed," Carr said. "The most important thing is we make sure justice is done. She's been a prosecutor, a defense attorney and she's been a judge."
Thomas asked Carr how important it was to get the case out of the hands of someone in southeast Georgia and with no ties to the area.

"The most important thing was resources and experience, and obviously DA Durden didn't have the resources," Carr said.
S. Lee Merritt and L. Chris Stewart, attorneys for Arbery's mother, released the following statement Monday:
"We recently learned that Georgia AG Chris Carr has appointed Cobb County District Attorney Joyette Holmes as prosecutor, replacing Thomas Durden. We made this request of AG Chris Carr because the south Georgia prosecutorial community was tainted by the delay in action prior to the video being released.
The family is pleased that Mr. Durden will no longer be responsible for prosecuting two of the killers of Mr. Arbery.
This case has been mishandled from the very beginning and we look forward to a comprehensive third-party investigation by the Dept. of Justice into the previous prosecutors.
Ms. Holmes just spoke with Ms. Cooper-Jones and we are cautiously optimistic about this turn of events. We remain committed to the pursuit of justice for Mr. Arbery's family and will provide any assistance necessary to Ms. Holmes in her new role."
Atlanta NAACP Vice President Gerald Griggs applauds Carr's decision.
"The DOJ is going to look at everything that happened, whether that's the investigation, whether that's the alleged cover-up," Griggs said. "She's one of the fairest district attorneys in the state of Georgia."
Gov. Brian Kemp agreed.
"She really is the right person for the job," Kemp said.

The Department of Justice released a statement about the Ahmaud Arbery case:
"The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia have been supporting and will continue fully to support and participate in the state investigation. We are assessing all of the evidence to determine whether federal hate crimes charges are appropriate. In addition, we are considering the request of the Attorney General of Georgia and have asked that he forward to federal authorities any information that he has about the handling of the investigation. We will continue to assess all information, and we will take any appropriate action that is warranted by the facts and the law." – Department of Justice Spokesperson Kerri Kupec.

It Takes Courage To Develop The Right Kind Of Leadership
It's never easy to be a great leader. People have been trying to figure out the best way to lead others since the beginning of time. Try to name all the great businesses, teams, or countries that were built with weak leadership. It's hard to do, right?
If you're serious about growing a strong business, then you also have to be serious about becoming a great leader. Becoming a great leader takes courage because it's not easy. You have to put yourself out there in front of your team in order to lead effectively. You have to demonstrate confidence, solid judgment, and you also have to be assertive but friendly.
The needs and expectations of those you're trying to lead also come into play. Followers want leaders who make tough decisions but do it in a way that makes them feel included. A good leader can interpret many different situations and viewpoints with rationale and emotional intelligence. Good leaders can also make decisions quicker than most of their followers. Great leaders can do all this will also displaying a healthy mix of confidence and humility.
The list of characteristics one needs to become a great leader is long and often contradictory. Many people also have different thoughts on what traits are most important for a good leader to have. There is one trait that is common on any good leadership list and that is courage.
Good leadership starts with courage
Most people don't make good leaders because being a good leader isn't easy. No matter what your team is trying to accomplish there will be tough moments. There will be times where everyone seems to want to go in a different direction. Courage is what makes everything else possible. A leader that is afraid to stand up for what they believe in or fears making the tough decisions will fail.
If you have already made the decision to start a business, then you have already shown quite a bit of courage. Over two-thirds of every business fails within the first ten years so it takes courage to become an entrepreneur. The trick is to build off that courage in a way that leads to growth in the business. Courage is the first and most important building block any leader needs to build a successful business. Without courage, innovation dies, and sales will falter.
There is no leadership without courage. Leadership requires making bold and at many times very unpopular decisions. A business in today's world needs to be always pushing the boundaries of innovation. Innovation in any industry or business requires creating new ways of doing things. Going against traditional ideas or breaking ground on new concepts takes courage. Making sales requires the ability to overcome repeated rejection before closing the deal. Therefore, making sales is something that requires a great deal of courage. Without a courageous leader, a business will fail.
Improving your weaknesses takes courage
Many people fail to realize courage is coachable just like anything else in business or life. Courage is a skill that one can both learn and improve upon. Most of us have in it us to be courageous in moments of need.
The first step in growing a business is identifying areas that can use some improvement. There is often a fine line between being courageous and being foolish. The difference is the ability to rationally assess and redirect situations that you can control. A great leader is often better at admitting mistakes than the average person. Great leaders often are quicker to learn from their mistakes than most of us. Really great leaders learn from the mistakes and experiences of others.
Courageous with purpose
I spend my time now helping people and organizations become courageous with purpose. The most important thing that I've learned about leadership in my thirty-plus years as an entrepreneur is a whole organization does better when everyone is encouraged to be confident. Think about it. Most people do better at any task put in front of them when there is an absence of fear. People take on more challenges and try harder when they're confident there will be a good reward or positive outcome. A good leader will instill courage into their followers.
People that feel confident make better decisions. People that feel confident are also more likely to address issues and deal positively with change. Change management skills are vital in any business because nothing stays the same. Life is temporary so it makes sense that every situation and challenge that a business faces is also temporary.
If you feel like you or your team can use help building confidence or developing winning strategies, then I encourage you to reach out to me directly. I would love to chat with you about your business, goals, and anything else that I can potentially help with.

Q: How to call "Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup"? There is a PowerShell cmdlet Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup that I want to call this way:
Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup -GroupId da2d17a7-64a5-43e5-9d95-7b70333dd78c
                        @{ UserId = "ed3d927d-7999-459f-955d-2afc272bd4d4" }

(Split into multiple lines for better readability)
When calling it, I get en error message:

A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument "System.Collections.Hashtable".

Since I'm not that deep into PowerShell I must have some false understanding of how to pass a hashtable, or I have misunderstood the documentation that says:

...To create the parameters described below, construct a hash table containing the appropriate properties...

My question
What is the correct syntax to call the Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup cmdlet and pass the user ID?

A: To elaborate on your own answer:
PowerShell's syntax diagrams - available locally via Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup -? or Get-Command -Syntax Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup - contain all the relevant information.
That said, they're not easy to read, especially locally, and there's room for future improvement.
Quoting from Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup's documentation:
Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup
      -GroupId <String>
      # ...

Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup
      -InputObject <IGroupsIdentity>
      # ...

*

*Each (partial) quote represents a distinct parameter set, i.e. a unique combination of parameters representing a distinct feature group.

*That -GroupId and -InputObject are in different parameter sets and are exclusive to each, tells you that you cannot use them both in a given invocation (they way you mistakenly tried), i.e., that they are mutually exclusive.

*Additionally, given that the parameter names -GroupId and -InputObject are not enclosed in [...] means that you can only pass named, not positional arguments to them - that is, you must precede an argument to bind to these parameters with the parameter name; e.g, -GroupId foo rather than just foo.

*By convention, a parameter named -InputObject is typically used to represent values that can be supplied via the pipeline, as evidenced by the parameter's description stating Accept pipeline input:    True - locally, you can see this with either Get-Help -Full  Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup or - parameter-specifically - with Get-Help Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup -Parameter InputObject

*

*Often, multiple input objects can only (meaningfully) be supplied via the pipeline; that is, -InputObject is often a mere implementation detail whose purpose is to facilitate pipeline input - see GitHub issue #4242.

*GitHub issue #4135 proposes making syntax diagrams directly reflect which parameters accept pipeline input.
What complicates matters with respect to Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup's documentation, specifically (which seems to be very sparse in general):

*

*The help topic contains no examples (which you could normally request locally with Get-Help -Examples Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup)

*The data type of the -InputObject parameter, <IGroupsIdentity> (Microsoft.Graph.PowerShell.Models.IGroupsIdentity) doesn't seem to have its own documentation; it is only described in the "Notes" section of the help topic, as accepting a hashtable (@{ ... }), along with a list of the supported entries (keys and value types).
All that said: you could have passed your hashtable via the pipeline, as follows:
@{
  UserId = 'ed3d927d-7999-459f-955d-2afc272bd4d4'
  GroupId = 'da2d17a7-64a5-43e5-9d95-7b70333dd78c'
} | Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup

The advantage of this approach over passing an argument to -InputObject is that it would allow you to pass multiple hashtables to act on.

A: After further investigating and reading the documentation again and again, I've found the correct syntax:
Invoke-MgSubscribeGroup -InputObject @{
    UserId = "ed3d927d-7999-459f-955d-2afc272bd4d4";
    GroupId = "da2d17a7-64a5-43e5-9d95-7b70333dd78c" }

(Split into multiple lines for better readability)
I now face permission issues, but this is out-of-scope for this question, since I've asked for the correct syntax only.

Wow! The Tracing Memories class on Jan. 12, from 9am to noon is now full. I am so happy that so many of you want to take this class! And, I like seeing that many of you around the country are also eager to take this class.
If you are going to be in the L.A. area in January, don't despair, if you want to take this class. Due to the high demand, we have opened an evening session of the same class! Same date, same location, this evening class will run from 6pm to 9pm. Space is limited, and the morning class filled in a few days, so if you want to attend, register NOW!
Visit our website and apply today!
If you have been following my blog this year, you'll notice that I've been talking about our new program Tracing Memories. This program teaches you how to convert a photograph into an outline, then color it in while looking at the photograph.
If this sounds exciting, and you think you'd like to try it, then you are in luck!
I will be teaching a 3hr. introductory class in January.
Anaheim, CA, January 12, 9am to 12pm. $35 Taught by Marianne Walker.
Class will be held during CHA, but is not part of the convention. Class will be held at the Anaheim Red Lion Inn.
With the Tracing Memories program, you will learn how to take your own photographs and turn them into custom works of art. Start with an outline generated from a photo, then color it in using Copic Markers. Learn how to see and identify colors. Learn basic Copic marker blending techniques, while working with beautiful photographs on high-quality fine-art paper.
This class is perfect for beginners and those who don't consider themselves artistic. Studies have proven that coloring and arts activities once a week helps relieve stress and promote relaxation at all age levels. But, a lot of the stress in fine-art comes with drawing the original artwork. With the Tracing Memories program, you convert your own photographs, so you don't have to draw. Choose images of your pets, your favorite vacation, or something you want to give as a special gift to a loved one. Coloring your own custom artwork helps you remember those memories, and creates a special picture that resonates for you. These make wonderful family gifts, or can be turned into cards, or printed as works of art. All supplies will be provided. You will leave with 1 to 3 completed images.
Apply for this, and our other CHA classes HERE. This class is filling quickly, so apply soon!
Also, If you are local to the Eugene, OR area, on Tuesdays through Nov. and December, I am hosting FREE Tracing Memories relaxation coloring sessions in conjunction with Sheldon Park Senior Community.
Every Tuesday, Nov-December, 5:30 to 6:30pm. Free! Sheldon Park Senior Living, 2440 Willakenzie Rd. Eugene, OR (Near Sheldon High School). Everyone welcome! (I may not be at each session, but I will be at most of them).
This week I will be at the annual U of O Tools of the Trade Show in Eugene, OR.
University of Oregon Main Campus Bookstore, Downstairs in the art department.
Come for a chance to win doorprizes, meet amazing artists and watch them work. There will be an amazing sale going on, and I will be there all day to answer Copic questions.
Here's a drawing I was working on last year at that event. I drew the main black outlines with multiliners, then photocopied it onto nice paper. I then drew in the bunnies in the distance and the flying deck of cards with a gray multiliner.
You can see how simply drawing things with a lighter outline creates the illusion of depth of field. Notice even the largest cards, up close, I drew with a light outline. When I color the things outlined in gray, I don't use the same intensity of colors as I do on areas outlined with black.
Here is a photo of the finished piece. I really like how it came out (though this photo was taken during the event in poor light). I like how you can clearly see the important bunnies, and the ones in the distance are not as prominent.
Who knows what I will draw this year? I don't even know, so I am really looking forward to seeing what I come up with over the next few days!
Also, our new classes I mentioned yesterday are now open for enrollment! We have already had some applications, and popular classes are already starting to fill. If you want to take one of our classes at CHA, you need to apply soon!
You can find Workshop information and applications HERE on the Copic Website.
You can find Standard Certification information and applications HERE on the Copic Website.
You can find Intermediate Certification info and applications HERE on the Copic Website.
CHA classes open this week!
Stay tuned, as we have a lot of exciting NEW classes opening this week for Winter CHA in January. There will be classes in the days before the show opens and even a class during the show, so if you are working on your education schedule, keep these times open. Registration and full class details will be posted later this week on the Copic Website.

Although it is difficult to position tobacco with respect to other psychoactive plants, the effects of large dosages suggest it to be a powerful narcotic capable of causing delusions and hallucinations. The dilemma of characterizing tobacco is that it may act as a stimulant, a depressant, a tranquilizer, or l hallucinogen. Lewin and several subsequent writers have treated tobacco as a stimulant, but nicotine, the pyridine alkaloid primarily responsible for tobacco's physiological action, has a complex action releted to dosage levels. A typical cigarette provides enough nicotine to act on the central nervous system to cause corticai arousal. In the autonomtic nervous system it mimics acetylcholine, stimulating neurotransmission. Nicotine, however, is not rapidly broken down, and less than two per cent of all smokers are occasional smokers, or more precisely are non-habituated. Thus, nicotine accumulates and acts as a neural block with respect to the transmission of new information. Sensory receptors are stimulated and then blocked. Acute nicotine poisoning causes tremors, convulsions, respiratory paralysis, coma, delusions, and death.

Q: Where can exceptions raised within FunctionsStartup.Configure be found logged on Azure? In the following code, where is the error logged in Azure? Sometimes the cause of such an error is difficult to identify, and results in "Function host is not running.", I've not been able to find the logged exception.
I've worked around this before by writing my own try/catch logging to BlobStorage myself, however, I'd hope there's a more idiomatic way of obtaining the exception.
public class Startup : FunctionsStartup
{
    public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
    {
        throw new Exception("Boom!");

        ConfigureServices(builder.Services);
    }
...

I've looked in the following places:
Diagnose and solve problems / Function App Down or Reporting Errors:

*

*Reports a stale error, doesn't seem to be updated each time the above error is raised.

AppInsights:

*

*"Your app is offline or the Application Insights SDK needs updating."

Kudu:

*

*D:\home\LogFiles\eventlog.xml - Can't see anything meaningful here

*D:\home\LogFiles\Application\Functions\Function\FunctionName\*.log - No files for today

*D:\home\LogFiles\Application\Functions\Host\*.log - No files for today

Storage account file shares:

*

*One modified with today's date

*/LogFiles/ - Empty

*/site/wwwroot/ - Empty

A: You can check the exception logs from Startup.cs as per steps below.
First, this is my test code:
[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(FunctionApp11.Startup))]
namespace FunctionApp11
{
    public class Startup: FunctionsStartup
    {

        public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
        {
            throw new Exception("xxxx haha an error is occuring....");
        }

    }
}

After the azure function running in azure portal, please follow these steps:
Step 1.  Nav to azure portal -> your function app -> click on the Diagnose and solve problems
blade -> Then input function app down in the search box -> then you can see Function App Down or Reporting Errors appears, click on it. The screenshot as below:

Step 2.  In the Function App Down or Reporting Errors page, expand Function Executions and Errors -> then expand Detected host offline in your function app. -> at last, you can see the exception logs there(if no error logs, consider to change the time range in the page). The screenshot as below:


Home / Limagito Filemover News / SFTP connection to the server is not established. WTF?
You execute a rule which uses SFTP and … nothing. Connection is not established.
SSH family of protocols is complex and various SFTP servers interpret the specifications differently. This leads to the problem, when to connect and interoperate with some server you need to select the right combination of SSH protocol settings.
SFTP protocol has it's own versions (LimagitoX supports SFTP versions 2 to 6). The server and LimagitoX must have the overlapping set of enabled versions. If the server is configured to support only SFTP 3 and LimagitoX has only versions 4 to 6 enabled, then you don't get a connection. You need to check and adjust Versions property of LimagitoX. Moreover, some servers work correctly only when just one version (SFTP 3) is enabled. I.e. you might need to enable just SFTP 3 in LimagitoX in order to successfully work with such server.
If the server closes connection without reporting any error, this usually means that you are connecting to the buggy server, which doesn't interpret the LimagitoX client request correctly. What does this mean? LimagitoX sends the list of known algorithms to the server. The server must ignore the unknown entries in the list of algorithms. However many servers crash or close connection when they come across the name of the algorithm, that they don't understand. In particular, all 3.x versions of OpenSSH do this. In this case you need to turn off all algorithms besides the very old and well-known (listed below). LimagitoX tries to detect the old servers automatically and disable the newer algorithms. This is controlled by the 'Auto Adjust Ciphers' option (default enabled). In most cases this solves the problem. If it does not, disable the 'Auto Adjust Ciphers' option and enable the 'Restrict Algorithms' option. This will turn off all algorithms besides the very old and well-known (forced).


We weten dankzij Jim Haudan, auteur van het boek The Art of Engagement, wat engagement voor jou betekent, waardoor jij gedisengageerd raakt en hoe organisaties dankzij de 6 sleutels tot de kern van het engagement kunnen komen. Met deze informatie kunnen organisaties het proces van strategisch engagement starten en de kloof tussen mensen en mogelijkheden verkleinen. Dus hoe start een organisatie met het strategisch inzetten van engagement?
Haudan erkent vier stappen bij het starten van het process van strategisch engagement. In eerste instantie moet strategisch engagement door HR professionals worden aanzien als een proces. Daarna moet het groter geheel zicht- en voelbaar zijn. Dit betekent dat HR professionals een 'plan van aanpak' moeten opstellen. Vervolgens moeten de doelen worden gekoppeld aan het frame wat in de tweede stap is bepaald. Tot slot moeten de HR professionals de mogelijkheden ontwikkelen zodat het framework daadwerkelijk kan worden ingezet.
Do you think of strategic engagement of people as a process? Why or why not? What do you believe is the major difference between approaching strategic engagement of people as a process versus assuming that "great talent will get it done"?
Where do strategy, communication, learning and businss results come together in your organization? Who manages that point of integration? Does anyone manage that point of integration?
What would be your greatest weakness in your attempt to strategically engage your people to create better business results?
What would be your greatest strength in your attempt to strategically engage your people to create better business results?
Think of all the effort you have undertaken to convey to people what needs to be done to execute key strategies or initiatives. What are the roadblocks that keep people from truy understanding what to needs to be done and why? What do you believe is really behind these roadblocks?
Of the five building blocks of a line-of-sight-language – the big picture, economics, customer value, process and strategy – which ones are most critical to helping people understand their roles in executing your strategy?
If you were to rate your senior leaders in creating a common mental model, your managers in interpreting and translating that model, and individuals ability to interpret and apply the model to their daily work, where is your organization strongest? Where is the greatest opportunity for improvement?
What is your bear? How could you use this insight to improve your ability to engage your people in executing your strategy?
On a scale of 1 to 1O0, how would you rate your senior team in promoting individual ownership of the whole for your company's goals? What could you do to test the validity of your rating?
How would you quantify the lost resources or unachieved opportunities connected to your responses on question 1?
In your business, what and where are the most prominent gaps between team goals and overall company goals? What could be done to interlock the goals between these two levels in your organization?
Now, consider only the people you manage. How would they answer these questions?
How does what I do fit into where the company is headed?
What do you want me to do differently?
How aligned are you leader behaviours with your organizations strategy? Which specific behaviors support the strategy and which conflict with it?
If you were to draw the leaders behavior that are inconsistent with your strategy, what would that sketch look like? What statements would you put in thought bubbles of the people in the sketch?
Which senior leaders behaviors must be aligned to support the business strategy? How will senior leaders hold themselves accountable to these behaviors?
How well are your managers developing their skills so that they can translate your strategy to teams and individuals?
What film clips or other examples could you use to help people see what it looks like when leaders and managers are engaging their people? How could you bring your managers together to connect these film clips or examples to your own business strategy?
How strongly is your frontline skill training connected to executing your strategy?
How would you use simulation to create greater opportunities for both managers and individuals to practice before they master new skills?

HomeEuro Recession Seen Persisting to Longest in Bloc's Era
Euro Recession Seen Persisting to Longest in Bloc's Era
Monday, May 13, 20130 comments
Euro-area data this week will probably reveal economic scars of the sovereign debt crisis confirming that the region is now suffering the longest recession since the single currency's creation.
Gross domestic product in the 17-nation economy fell 0.1 percent in the first three months of 2013, a sixth straight quarterly decline, according to the median of 39 economists' forecasts in a Bloomberg News survey. That would exceed the 15-month long contraction in 2008-2009 during the financial crisis.
The data to be released on May 15 follow a series of national GDP reports that day showing the legacy of the sentiment shock and austerity measures since the crisis began. While a European Central Bank pledge to backstop the euro has eased financial-market tensions, economic confidence at a four-month low in April at a time of record unemployment highlight the risk that the slump will persist.
"We are at a very critical stage at the moment and there are indicators that uncertainty is on the rise again," said Joerg Kraemer, chief economist at Commerzbank AG in Frankfurt. "It is essential for the euro area to find the right mix between necessary austerity and measures to support economic growth as soon as possible."
Euro-zone finance ministers gather in Brussels at 3 p.m. today to discuss the economic situation in the region after the European Commission revised its forecast for 2013 down to a 0.4 percent contraction. They will review bailout programs in Cyprus and Spain, and may sign off on aid payments to Greece.
Data Frenzy
The European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg will release first-quarter euro-area GDP data at 11:00 a.m. on May 15, following reports from countries including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria. Eurostat will publish its detailed report on April inflation and March trade figures at the same time the following day.
The GDP data follow a May 10-11 meeting of Group of Seven finance ministers in Englandwhich concluded that "growth prospects remain uneven and we can't take the global recovery for granted," according to U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne, who chaired the gathering.
On the eve of that meeting, U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew said European policy makers are still falling short in efforts to revive their economy, calling for "the right balance" between austerity and growth.
With the region's slump spreading to France and Germany in the fourth quarter, when both economies suffered a contraction, officials have acknowledged a need to soften the fiscal squeeze.
Unacceptable Adjustment
"If we would have too much adjustment, what would it mean?" French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said in a Bloomberg Television interview with Francine Lacqua after the G-7 talks. "It would mean that our economy would be in recession, and we cannot accept that."
France's economy probably did succumb to a renewed recession in the first quarter with contraction of 0.1 percent, according to the median forecast of 25 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. Italian GDP fell for a seventh successive quarter, dropping 0.4 percent, the median of 21 forecasts shows.
Germany's economy, the region's biggest, may have escaped the recession affecting its neighbors with growth of 0.3 percent, according to a survey of 41 economists.
With the euro-region economic slump persisting and the annual inflation rate dropping to 1.2 percent in April, the ECB on May 2 reduced its key interest rate to a record low of 0.5 percent and signaled it stands ready for further action if the economy doesn't improve.
'Downside' Risks
ECB President Mario Draghi predicted a "gradual recovery" later this year even though risks "are on the downside." The Frankfurt-based central bank forecasts the euro economy will shrink 0.5 percent this year before growing 1 percent in 2014.
"The pace of the recession may be easing but I don't see a real recovery yet," said Martin van Vliet, senior euro-area economist at ING Bank NV in Amsterdam. "We can't be sure the worst is behind us before job growth returns."
The euro area's jobless rate rose to a record 12.1 percent in March, with 19.2 million people out of work and youth unemployment at 24 percent. In France, the number of people actively looking for work reached a record 3.225 million.
"Our people, they feel that there is something of an adjustment fatigue," Moscovici told Bloomberg Television. "They want jobs, jobs, jobs."
While the jobless rate in Germany is close to a two-decade low and rising wages are boosting consumption, the jobless number in Spain is the highest since at least 1976.
"Economic improvement in the euro area is coming only very slowly and high unemployment drags on," said Evelyn Herrmann, an economist at BNP Paribas SA in London. "In the end, countries will have to boost potential output for a long-term growth perspective, and that needs adjustment and structural reforms."

Faith & Art
Anne Cumming
AP | GREELEY TRIBUNE
Jim RydbomLinda King, owner of the Gallery of the Master, talks about a piece by Tim Trask named "Jacob and the Angel" in her Loveland gallery. King will be at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Greeley Sunday to give a seminar about the connection between faith and art.
The children are so excited, they crane their necks and rise up on their tip toes to see, touch and point to things around them.
Children are Linda King's favorite. Every once in a while, a group comes for a tour of the two-story Victorian house in Loveland that King has transformed into an art gallery of sculptures, paintings, photographs and tapestries.
On this day, it's a group of kindergartners from a Lutheran school in Loveland. The former art teacher in King comes out. In the corner of one room, she points to a bronze sculpture.
"There are only a few of this exact sculpture in the whole world," King says in a soft, kind voice fitting for a kindergarten tour. "But what about you? How many of you are in the whole world? Do you understand you are all running around with one-of-a-kind editions?"
The children giggle and look at each other as King pauses at each child and asks the same questions.
"How many in that edition?" she asks, pointing at one child.
"One," the children answer in unison.
"How special?"
"Very special," they answer.
Most of her life, Linda King has used art to express her faith. A weaver, potter, photographer and storyteller, 60-year-old King opened Gallery of the Master in Loveland four years ago.
On Sunday, King will talk about how art enhances faith at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Greeley. The seminar is open to the public.
The Spirit of Art committee at the church recently bought a sculpture from King's gallery. "Come Unto Me" is a bronze depiction of Jesus and three children by artist Rosalind Cook of Tulsa, Okla.
King has been waiting for churches to catch her vision of using art as a ministry. Our Savior's in Greeley is the first.
"Some people feel artwork isn't an appropriate expense for a church," said Laurie Guthmann, a member of the church's Spirit of Art committee. "They'd rather see money given to missions. But art helps you grow in your spirituality."
Art has been a part of King's spiritual life since her junior year at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. She grew up in Concordia, Kan., and attended Kansas State University for two years before transferring to CSU.
She chose her major, art education, because a sorority sister at Kansas State said, "Why don't you go into art? You make good posters."
King remembers one of her art professors at Kansas State, who made her study things such as tree trunks and cracks in a sidewalk for an entire class period.
"We thought he was crazy," King said. "But he taught me how to see. Later that helped me see spiritually."
At CSU, King said she became a Christian. "I was active in the church all my life," she said. "But it was all me trying to work hard and do things right. I never heard that God wanted to have a relationship with me."
She fell in love with making pottery and learned about God's character through her art. Several Bible passages refer to God as the potter and His children as the clay.
"I learned that when you're making pottery, you always pull the clay up, never down," she said. "My teacher would say, `Apply pressure on the outside and equal pressure on the inside and pull the clay up.' That's how God works in people's lives, too."
King started painting, working with wood, weaving and taking photographs. She was an art teacher in Peoria, Ill., and owned an advertising agency in Lincoln, Neb.
She moved to Estes Park and started a line of greeting cards, "Signatures of the Savior." King also produces videos that explain the parables of Jesus. That's part of her multimedia production company, Shepherd and Associates.
Four years ago, King left Estes Park to open Gallery of the Master in a 97-year-old home in downtown Loveland. King opened the gallery with four artists. Now she has 41.
Her best friend, Roann, helps her with the gallery. King is divorced and has a 34-year-old son who lives in a group home for adults with mental disabilities.
The gallery is fitting for Loveland, a city nationally known as an artists colony because many artists, mostly sculptors, live and work there.
The business is called Gallery of the Master – master is a reference to God – but it contains more than religious art work.
Religious pieces – sculptures, photographs and paintings – are scattered throughout, but most of them are in the "liturgical room" downstairs. The pieces vary from a tapestry King made to depict the life of Christ to a sculpture of the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water.
One room upstairs has a children's theme. Another upstairs room is the "critter room," full of animal art. "All of creation is a reflection of God," King said. "It's not all crosses and statues of Jesus."
King has one rule in her gallery: Please touch. Even kindergartners can run their hands over the bronze sculptures. That goes back to her art teacher days, when she took her classes on field trips to museums. The displays always said, "Please do not touch."
"I always joked that someday I'd open a gallery, and the signs would say, `Please touch,' " King said.
Churches used to be known for their artwork, and many artists used to be known for their faith.
Catholic churches used to commission artists to create sculptures and paintings. Notre Dame, St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel wouldn't be so beautiful without their art – architecture, stained-glass windows and paintings.
But through the years, the church separated itself from art. Some people considered art idolatrous and created plain church buildings without visual images.
Some modern-day churches are welcoming art back. Some pastors use video clips and other images as sermon illustrations. More churches and religious organizations are buying paintings and sculptures.
"Some churches feel bad about investing in art because they see it as superficial." King said. "But in our culture, we are so influenced by visual images. The church needs to release the gifts that Christian artists have."
"Come Unto Me," the sculpture Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Greeley bought from Gallery of the Master, is the only artwork the church owns besides banners that hang on the walls.
The congregation's hopes to buy artwork once a year with memorial money given to the church. Guthmann said the committee wants to inspire artists in the church to create as well.
King said she feels an internal pressure to create. One reason she opened the gallery was to encourage other artists.
"Artists have come into the gallery and cried," King said. "They feel the same drive to create that I do. We can't keep what's in us to ourselves."

Richard Baniewicz, School Committee Member, Dies 'Unexpectedly'
by Independent Staff • December 11, 2017 • 0 Comments
By Joseph Domelowicz Jr.
School Committeeman Richard Baniewicz passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, Dec. 2. The late Committeeman had served 15 years on the board, and was born and raised in Everett – playing football, graduating Northeastern
University and serving his community for a lifetime.
The news on Saturday that longtime Everett resident and School Committeeman Richard Baniewicz had passed unexpectedly came as a shock. Baniewicz, 67, was admired and well-respected across the city and everyone who spoke about him and knew him said, "Richie was a great guy."
Baniewicz served on the Everett School Committee for the last 15 years, but his career in public service and his personal history of serving the city he loved began well before that.
Richard Baniewicz graduated from Everett High School in 1969, with fellow former School Committeeman Robert Carreiro, who also died while in office just two short months ago.
Baniewicz was the president of his graduating class at EHS, and was a co-captain of the football team. Baniewicz earned a scholarship to Northeastern University for football, where he was nominated as National Little American All-American, and later graduated Northeastern with a degree in Business Management.
He served for three terms as an Everett Common Councilor, before being elected to the School Committee, where he served for another 15 years until his death. But those facts do not give a picture of the man Richard was, those who knew him said.
"His love of his community is a theme that comes up again and again when you talk about Richard Baniewicz," said Everett Superintendent of Schools Frederick Foresteire. "He was very active in the E Club and lived in the city all of his life. He and his wife were both dedicated to the city, they loved Everett."
Baniewicz's late wife, Linda, like him, was an Everett native and lifelong resident. She taught in the Everett schools for 32 years before her death, and the couple, in their life together, represented the best of what Everett has to offer.
Baniewicz's services are being arranged through the Cafasso and Sons Funeral Home in Everett, with visitation on Wednesday, Dec. 6, from 4-8 p.m. and funeral services beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 7. A funeral Mass in his memory will be held beginning at 10 a.m. on Thursday at Immaculate Conception Church on Broadway.

Richmond mayor expresses concern about county's faulty warning system in the wake of the Sims fire
Vianey Alderete on February 15, 2018
'The system did not work well with this particular incident," said Richmond's mayor Tom Butt in a defeated tone over the phone as he recalled last month's fire at Sims Metal Management in Richmond. He was referring to the Contra Costa County's Community Warning System, which according to him and some neighbors of the metal recycler, did not work during what Butt referred to as the worst fire he has experienced.
The fire, which took place at around 5 p.m. on January 30, has resulted in two violation notices issued to the company by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) and a pending status update from BAAQMD on the quality of the air. Residents were asked to shelter in place and roads were closed until the fire was extinguished.
Sims Metal Management was given a notice for a public nuisance violation and an illegal open burning violation. Both fines and penalties are under review, as the case is under investigation by the BAAQMD, a regional agency responsible for protecting air quality.
"The Air District is continuing to investigate this incident for all potential air quality violations in collaboration with Contra Costa County Health Services and other agencies," stated Jack Broadbent, an executive officer of the agency, in a press release.
According to its website, the county's warning system responds according to the level of urgency, with air sirens in special safety zones, an emergency alert system on television and on the KCBS 740 AM radio station, via phone calls and on Facebook and Twitter @CoCoCWS. A representative from the Contra Costa County Office of the Sherriff did not return requests for information about how well the warning system had worked during the fire.
Residents in the area neighboring the metal recycler expressed their concerns about the closeness to the fire, the air quality, and the lack of information about the incident released by the local government.
"I want to be safe," said Angelia King, who has been living a few blocks away of the Sims Metal Management for the last six months, saying she had not received any alarm from the county.
According to King and her neighbor, Lynda Moore, there is an emergency alarm test from the County Warning System every Wednesday at 11 a.m. They say they expect this alarm to go off in the event of a nearby fire.
But when the Sims fire started, King was sleeping, and did not become aware of the fire until her roommate informed her of the incident, two hours later. She said she could see a grey cloud of smoke in the dark sky.
"It gave me a cough," said Moore, who suffers from bronchitis and noticed the air did not clear up until midday the day after the fire.
According to a statement released by the Contra Costa Health Services, an air sample conducted by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District at the beginning of the month revealed a high presence of benzene, a carcinogen that can cause cancer after long-term exposure. The effect of short-term exposure to benzene is unknown.
A representative from Contra Costa Health Services did not respond to requests for additional comments.
"I'm ready to give up on" the Contra Costa County's Community Warning System, said Butt, who says he has recommended that the city break away from the county to create its own system. He said that the system has always performed with errors, since it was put in operation during the 1990's, and that these have never been resolved. "At least if we screw up, we only have ourselves to blame," he added.
Butt said "at some point" the city's planning director will be holding a hearing to discuss if Sims Metal Management was in compliance with the permits assigned by the city, and if any new conditions on the permits should be imposed.
Representatives from Sims Metal Management did not return calls from Richmond Confidential for comment. But Sims spokeswoman Jill Rodby told KQED "We will look at any improvements to reduce the risk of fires at this facility, including a focus on stockpile size, improving fire breaks, and the use of technology to monitor stockpiles."

Oh yeah. That'll fix it.
Because city departments are so very efficient and perfectly working…
Dude. The city doesn't even run its own business license and rental inspection program — it's been farmed out to contractors. Are you actually saying that City of Richmond would do its own warning system? Or would they just farm it out to more out-of-town contractors, too?
And… where exactly would this money to run our own program come from? Would you raise taxes again? A fee for registrants?
Honestly, the warning system worked just fine. There were website updates, text messages, and phone calls. The only thing we didn't get was a siren, which would have put people in panic mode. Is that what you say was "broken"? That there was no siren? So people who were asleep and, for all intents and purposes, "sheltered in place" could be woken up, run outside to see what's going on, and be put at more risk?

The BAAQMD monitors air. It is different than a IOC. We have an air monitor and we have a state ISO. I will attend the meeting to see what"s up.


Let My Joy be your strength, says the Lord. I want to give you real joy for your mourning. I will give you the garment of praise for depression. I do not want you overwhelmed with sadness. I do not want you to grieve. Come into My presence and allow Me to wrap My everlasting arms of love around you. Let Me comfort you in all your sorrow. I want to turn all of your sorrow into My unspeakable joy! I want your joy to bubble up in you so that you laugh at the enemy that had been taunting and mocking you. Give it back to him, says the Lord. Go ahead and tell him that He is not going to steal your joy or ruin your day. He is not going to torment you with gloomy thoughts. Just tell him that you are not going to allow his negative thoughts to consume your mind. Let My mind be in you, says the Lord. JOY IN ME. I Am the God of your salvation. Come and joyfully draw out of the well of salvation. It is everlasting joy that I have for you, that your sorrow and mourning will flee away, says the Lord.
Come into MY presence where there is fullness of joy. Don't rush out. Be filled with My Spirit of joy so that it not only consumes you but changes the very atmosphere around you. Others will wonder how they can have what you have. You will be able to minister to the wounded and hurting and suffering from the overflow of My Spirit, says the Lord. You have cried long enough. Away with the tears. It is time for you to rejoice. Shout for joy, for I Am with you always. You can depend upon Me. Let your heart be filled with gladness! Let the light of My presence force out the darkness, dispel all the fears, and defeat every purpose of the enemy! I will cause your heart to sing for joy. It is a new day! I have created it for your pleasure. Rejoice in it, says the Lord, for My joy is your abiding strength.

With the advent of personalized cancer medicine, mutations in tumors can be paired with targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). However, even the most potent TKI fail to eradicate all cancer cells. Subsequently, tumor-repopulating cells within minimal residual disease (MRD) contribute to patient relapse. The application of Abl-kinase inhibitors to the BCR/ABL oncoprotein in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a paradigm for personalized medicine. TKI therapy in CML leads to long lasting therapeutic benefit; however, MRD remains and can eventually evolve to blast crisis. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the failure of TKI to eradicate CML MRD are not known, growth factor signals are suspected to replace the TKI- disabled oncoprotein survival signals. We have determined that c-Fos and Dusp1 are critical for growth-factor- mediated TKI resistance. Both genetic and chemical inhibition of Dusp1 and c-Fos render CML exquisitely sensitive to TKI, and cure a mouse model of CML. Overall, our published and preliminary data suggests that expression levels of c-Fos and Dusp1 determine the threshold of TKI efficacy during chronic CML disease. Extending this line of investigation, the proposed research will determine whether c-Fos and Dusp1 are necessary and sufficient for the evolution of CML to blast crisis, and whether c-Fos and Dusp1 levels determine response to TKI in blast crisis. Next, we hypothesize that Fos and Dusp1 signals converge upon oncogenically-activated enhancers. We propose that Fos-Jun AP-1 complexes facilitate oncogenically active enhancers, while in the absence of c-Fos and Dusp1 signals, Jun-JunD AP-1 complexes predominate but do not support tumor maintenance. Specifically, we will molecularly link c-Fos-Jun AP-1 and Dusp1 activity to global enhancer chromatin dynamics. Moreover, we will exploit chromatin-embedded target-gene-reporter alleles to provide a detailed analysis of functionally-relevant downstream genes at a single-cell level in primary CML cells. The proposed work is expected to delineate the necessity of c-Fos and Dusp1 in CML-blast-crisis TKI sensitivity, as well as to provide deep molecular insight into the mechanisms underlying blast crisis and cytokine-mediated TKI resistance. We expect that this information will be informative not only for CML and blast crisis, but also the broad group of tyrosine-kinase oncoprotein-driven tumors that are not cured by TKI.
Tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy has been developed for chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and several solid tumors, including breast, prostate and lung cancers.! However, even the most potent kinase inhibitors are not curative for CML, and result in minimal residual disease (MRD) which eventually leads to blast crisis. MRD cells have been shown to survive TKI therapy by paracrine growth factor signaling, which maintain cell quiescence and mediate survival signaling regulatory networks. This grant application will exploit well- established CML models to investigate the molecular and cellular basis exploited by tumors to survive TKI therapy. We expect that this information will be informative for the broad group of tyrosine-kinase oncoprotein- driven tumors that are not cured by TKI.

When is a well permit required?
A Permit is required to construct, repair or destroy a water, monitoring or cathodic protection well or soil boring. A soil boring is any uncased artificial excavation constructed by drill, auger, perforator, or other drilling or probing equipment for the purpose of obtaining information on subsurface conditions or determining the presence or extent of contamination in subsurface soils or groundwater. Soil borings exempt from this requirement are 1) soil borings less than ten feet in depth constructed for the sole purpose of determining the suitability or design of an on-site sewage disposal system; and 2) soil borings that are less than fifteen feet in depth and do not encounter any water below ground.
What is the process for obtaining a well permit?
A. Applicant's name, address, and current phone number.
B. Drilling contractors name. A statement that the contractor performing the work is licensed under the provisions of Chapter 9 of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code as a well-drilling contractor possessing a C-57 Water Contractor's License, and such license is in full force and effect; the number of such license; and a valid workers' compensation certificate of insurance. In those situations where a well-drilling contractor does not have employees, he or she may sign a workers' compensation waiver in lieu of a certificate of insurance.
C. Consultant (if any) name, address, and telephone number.
D. Type of Work to be performed e.g. new well or well repair/Reconstruction; Existing water supply well information; Type of proposed well; If irrigation well type of backflow prevention device; For repairs well completion log; Estimated or proposed depth of the well or boring, sealing material and method used to seal; If environmental site investigation, identify purpose and provide any approval of proposed work by lead agency.
E. Location of the property and well site, including street address and/or Assessor's Parcel Number and the legal owner of the property.
An Environmental Health Specialist shall review the permit application. If the application is complete and is in compliance with the California Well Standards and Chapter 13.10 of the Solano County Code, then a permit shall be issued.
Who can construct, destroy, or repair a well?
Wells shall be constructed, destroyed, or repaired by a licensed contractor with a valid Class "C-57" license. Contractors with a Class "D-21" license are limited to installing, removing, modifying, or repairing pumps.
How do I determine if my well water is potable?
The bacteriological quality of domestic quality of domestic water is determined by testing for coliform bacteria. Coliform organisms are indicators of surface contamination that may originate from human, animal, or other sources. Drinking water that does not meet bacteriological standards may not necessarily result in illness but that possibility exists. Wells testing positive for coliform bacteria should be properly disinfected.
Does the county test well water?
Yes. The county public health laboratory has the capability of testing water for bacteriological agents. The property owner or the division may collect the water sample.
The county lab does not test for radioactivity, organic, or inorganic chemicals. Solano County does not provide well inspections for lender verification in sale of property transactions. Please contact a licensed well driller or other qualified professional for this inspection.
What is the procedure for disinfecting a well?
Pump the well until the water is clear, being sure to flush out all distribution piping.
After the water flowing from the well looks clear, shut off the pump.
Introduce household bleach (Clorox, Purex, White Magic,. Sanichlor, Vano, etc.) into the well casing through the inspection port. Do not use swimming pool chlorine tablets as these are concentrated and may contain other chemicals.
Do not run the pump for the next thirty (30) minutes.
Pump well again until you can smell the bleaching agent at the end of all distribution lines (taps, faucets and hydrants).
Close all distribution lines. Do not operate the pump for twenty-four (24) hours.
After the 24-hour period, open all outside distribution lines, start the pump and operate until all the chlorine odor is gone. Close all distribution lines. Operate interior lines until chlorine odor has diminished. Test the well water for total coliform.
