Schumacher inaugurated as sixth president of Tiffin University

Although the Heminger Center was checkered with plenty of empty seats on the morning of Nov. 11 as Dr. Lillian Schumacher was initiated as the sixth president of Tiffin University, the members of the student body, faculty, staff, and community who did attend filled the venue with welcoming messages of hope for the future of TU.
Sitting beside her father, who opened the ceremony with a prayer, and her husband, Schumacher shared the stage with over 30 close colleagues, peers, community members, and collegiate representatives – many of whom spoke in her support during the two-hour event.
"It is today that we begin the tomorrows of this institution," said Melissa Weininger, the dean of student support and the registrar at the university.
TIFFIN UNIVERSITY UNDER PRESIDENT SCHUMACHER
Create an environment focused on student success.
Grow innovative academic programs.
Optimize our organizational capacity.
Strengthen and increase institutional financial sustainability.
Enhance our critical infrastructure.
Values
In such few words, her sentiment summarized the tone that fellow university representatives and political figures shared. In addition to spokespeople from the offices of Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Sherrod Brown, Rep. Bill Reineke, Seneca County Commissioners President Holly Stacy, and Mayor Aaron Montz were in attendance.
"Let me tell you: you've got a good one," Montz said at the ceremony. "You've got a good one in her. Treat her well, and I know she will treat you well."
The event came just one year after the installment of the fifth president, Dr. Curtis Charles, who took office on July 1, 2015 and was inaugurated on Oct. 16, 2015 in a series of campus events. He resigned after just six months in office, citing a vague "difference in views on strategic vision" as his rationale in a press release.
However, this event was similar only in formalities, not in attitudes. Treating her as an old friend rather than a new leader, many of those who took the stage before the president, from the dozen greetings from representatives to the two keynote speakers, referred to her not as Dr. Schumacher, but instead as Lil. Unlike Charles, who was hired externally, Schumacher is a familiar face. She held multiple titles at Tiffin University in the past six years, including the dean of the school of business and vice president of academic affairs.
Dr. Thomas Debbink, a professor of management at TU and the representative of faculty at the ceremony, vaguely referenced the previous president in his greeting, saying that Schumacher acted as vital asset to the faculty as tensions rose under Charles' leadership and defended their interests, even risking her job to do so.
"We know Lil," Debbink said, claiming the announcement of her presidency was met with nearly universal approval from faculty. "Lil has demonstrated her ability to lead with the best intentions at heart."
Her leadership style was a touchstone of remarks from Dr. James Kennedy, the former president and chief executive officer of Ohio Mutual Insurance Group. The first of two guests to offer closing remarks prior to Schumacher's investiture, he emphasized Schumacher's dedication to her vision and to a global mindset.
"I don't care what facet of life you look at: Our world is crying out for leadership. We all seek to be around people who want to make a difference; who are not afraid to take an unpopular position (but it happens to be the right one); who do not back down from making the tough decisions; who understand that our world would be more safe, stable, and successful if we all held awareness of the need for tolerance and understanding," Kennedy said. "By now, you know who I'm talking about. I'm describing Lillian Schumacher."
Punctuating the list of speakers, Dr. Mansour Javidan reaffirmed Kennedy's highlight of her leadership. A professor and the director of the global mindset institute at Arizona State University who held a mandatory diversity awareness workshop on TU's campus just two days prior to the president's inauguration, Javidan discussed the importance of Schumacher's touted diversity initiative as an essential element of current and future Tiffin University educational standards.
"The conversations I've had with [Schumacher] since she became president of Tiffin – they've all hovered around, 'What should a graduate of Tiffin look like? What is it that we at Tiffin do?'" Javidan said. "In other words, it's not just about what disciplines, what expertise, […] what theories we provide to students; they're all important, but they're not the whole thing. The question is, 'What kind of individual do we deliver to society? What kind of mindset? What kind of approach to life? What kind of approach to human beings? And how can we do a better job of developing graduates who can contribute in a bigger way to a globally connected environment?'"
Claire Johansen and Michael Klepper of the Tiffin University board of trustees invested Schumacher with a medallion that matched those of former presidents George Kidd, Jr. and Paul Marion, who sat just behind her, before she gave her inaugural address.
The 20-minute address opened with the importance on the cultivation of a close, family-like environment that Schumacher – or, once again, Lil – was welcomed with during the ceremony.
"This institution and so many of the people here are not ones that I feel I am joining; they are actually part of my family that have been with me as I've grown up through the years. In fact, many of us here at Tiffin University talk about this family environment, and we talk about the fact that at Tiffin University, it just gets in your blood. It's actually true," said Schumacher. "And this is my first point: I want to focus on our place. Our place, Tiffin University – because it gets in your blood, and it creates Dragons for life."
Both the success and diversity of the Tiffin University family were equally stressed as she continued. She heavily referenced her own diversity initiative, which aims at "becoming better at embracing our uniqueness and celebrating it" – the overreaching staple of her platform – but she begged for patience from the student body to see its results.
The request echoes one Schumacher made before she could even settle into her position last January. Within days of claiming the interim presidency, she was met with controversy spearheaded by upset members of the Black Student Union, who wrote a letter of concern and held two open forums with her seeking an explanation of Charles' sudden departure and immediate action to address alleged racial discrimination on campus.
"This initiative is extremely difficult, but we're going to be purposeful, proactive, and intentional in this effort because it is that important," Schumacher said. "We have to have patience, with the tenacity and endurance to stick to our guns, because all good things that make a true difference in one's life take a lot of effort and dedication, and [are] never easily obtained."
In closing, she once again reiterated the three key words that are fundamental to fulfilling her strategic vision – purposeful, proactive, and intentional – and called for students to help her change campus in brighter days to come under her leadership.
"Our place is a premier institution for challenging students to enhance their global competencies and 21st century skills for success in a diverse world," she said, recapping her goals for the future of TU. "And finally, our place is one that looks and feels purposeful, proactive, and intentional in all that it does, and like Mahatma Gandhi often said and did so himself, because so many Tiffin University individuals emulate the change that they want to see in this world."

In the spirit of the season, we look back on 2010's biggest sellouts
By Peter Chakerian
Nothing has a more polarizing effect on music fans than the concept of "selling out." In fact, try talking about it this week at one of your holiday parties and see how contentious the conversation gets.
Start by rattling off some of music's biggest names. We bet they didn't get there without some level of gratuitous commercial exposure along the way. The Beatles, U2, Metallica, the Rolling Stones, Madonna — five of the top-grossing artists of all time, and each one with (rather unnecessary) sellouts lining their career paths. Heck, you don't get to mega-stardom without a couple sellouts along the way.
Fans get upset when artists earn their livelihood this way, but the music world is full of contradictions. And the line between art and commerce continues to blur every year. Still, there's a line that gets crossed — the one that separates due attention from gluttony. With that in mind, here are some of 2010's most blatant cash-ins by legendary rockers.
This Aussie juggernaut made headlines in 2008 by securing exclusive distribution for its Black Ice
album with Wal-Mart. It was a bizarre bedfellows move, seeing that the big-box chain doesn't even carry CDs with parental-advisory stickers and has occasionally sold edited versions of popular CDs that do bear them. But the partnership definitely worked: Black Ice was AC/DC's first No. 1 album since 1981's For Those About to Rock.
Industry insiders say AC/DC are smart when it comes to money matters. Apparently they're smarter at securing a direct line to their target audience. Wal-Mart had a stake in AC/DC's Iron Man 2 soundtrack/greatest-hits album, which was an instant million seller — squarely aimed at a younger audience that probably didn't buy last year's pricier Backtracks box set.
If Steven Tyler's erratic behavior and American Idol gig hasn't signaled that the landing gear has come off Aero Force One, this year's excursion into selling lottery tickets certainly has. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees worked with the Ohio Lottery Commission and a dozen other organizations across the U.S. to launch an instant-win scratch-off game called Dream On. Top prizes include guitars, motorcycles, and an "ultimate rock-star party" at the Rock Hall with the band.
Aerosmith engaged heavily in other forms of name-branding in 2010, selling everything from video games to trucks. And you thought that song from the asteroid movie was going to be the low point of their career.
Longtime poster boys for music-marketing whoredom (remember the action figures, coffins, and comic books printed in blood?), Kiss show no signs of slowing down. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have always been all-business and always will be. Last year they tied their latest album, Sonic Boom, to Wal-Mart as an exclusive (hey, if it's good enough for AC/DC and the Eagles ...). The three-disc set included rerecorded versions of Kiss classics and a live DVD.
This year's Hottest Show on Earth tour hit the road with support from nearly 39,000 7-11 stores, which promoted theconcerts on Slurpee and Big Gulp cups. And nothing goes better with those big-ass beverages than candy. Good thing Kiss also unveiled limited-edition M&M's featuring the members' faces this year.
managed to avoid the schmaltzy Broadway trap with The Wall, despite his own touring cash grab this year. But aging punks Green Day turned their Grammy-winning concept album American Idiot into a Tony-winning musical-theater production and fell face first into the schmaltz.
With inspiration cribbed from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
and West Side Story, the album's story is invigorating and entirely believable. But something got in the way on the Great White Way: Rent. When Green Day saw an early production of the stage version of American Idiot, they claimed the music made them cry. We're guessing the Levi's sponsorship and the underwhelming Rock Band: Green Day video game they dirtied their hands with this year might also have something to do with it.
Of course, there were plenty of other artists who cashed in and sold out this year: The Beatles finally settled up with Apple for the iTunes launch, dozens of bands — old and new, legendary and not-so — hit the road to perform one of their old albums in its entirety, and Glee made everything less, well, gleeful. We'll leave you to debate the rest over your nog — or better yet, a Slurpee.

Boys From the County Hell – Yeah, St. Patrick's Day is a better time to catch this Pogues cover band. But the Pogues did record the best Christmas song of all time (that would be "Fairytale of New York"). That's reason enough to catch them at House of Blues on Thursday. Read more in Livewire.
Old Home Night – Part Ubu, part Numbers Band, and part Cleveland luminaries (plus Alejandro Escovedo thrown in for good measure), this annual OG indie-rocker roundup returns to the Beachland on Sunday. Read more in Livewire.


Accident coverage in Texas can be a costly business. Underneath you will discover a few hints to enable you to eliminate the expenses of Texas accident coverage, yet first lets look at a few realities concerning collision protection in Texas.
Like most states, you should have accident protection with a specific end goal to drive in Texas. The base scope you should have in the Lone Star State is $20,000 for substantial damage to one individual, $40,000 for real damage supported by at least two people in a similar mischance and $15,000 for property harm that outcomes from one mishap. These are the most extreme sums that the insurance agency will pay out in case of a mischance. As any costs over those sums should be paid by you, you might need to consider expanding the scope.
Trust it or not, your FICO score has an immediate effect on the amount you pay for your collision protection.
Accident coverage organizations factor in a considerable measure of your own subtle elements to land at a protection chance score and different investigations have demonstrated that there is an immediate relationship between's your FICO assessment and the likelihood that you will record a collision protection guarantee. Individuals who pay their bills on time and have a decent credit record are thought to be reliable individuals by the accident coverage organizations and along these lines great protection dangers.
As Auto insurance agencies normally raise your next premium by up to 45% in the event that you make a claim, you might need to consider raising your deductibles. A deductible is the sum you would pay out of your own pocket in case of a mischance before making a claim on your arrangement. The higher your deductible, the lower your protection premium.
Clearly how great a driver you are will greatly affect the amount you are charged for your accident protection. The insurance agencies are continually looking for good protection dangers and on the off chance that you have a past filled with making claims, the they will swell your rates in like manner. Speeding fines and stopping tickets all check towards regardless of whether you are a decent driver. Then again, on the off chance that you have a decent driving record then it might be justified regardless of your while to search for Texas collision protection organizations that offer a "mischance pardoning approach". The impact of this is your first claim won't be considered while ascertaining your rate at the season of recharging.
In the event that you have more than one vehicle, them find a way to guarantee them all with a similar accident protection organization. Multi-vehicle rebates can keep running as high as 25% with some accident coverage organizations.
You can confine the extent of your scope to the compulsory obligation scope to radically diminish your rates, however this may end up being a false sparing. In the event that you have a mishap and are not secured by your protection then you should pay the harms (both to individuals and property) out of your own pocket and this could rushed to a large number of dollars.

Everyone wants to slow the aging process, even those who want to "age gracefully". However, there is a debate going on over whether using anti aging supplements will really work.There are some that still believe that plenty of exercise, a proper diet and the right amount of sleep are really all you need to fight the aging process.And if it works for them, who am I to argue? I'm a big proponent of exercise, diet and sleep. You HAVE to start there for any anti aging program to work. But if you're doing all that and you're still feeling the effects of age, you may want to consider supplementation.The fact is that researchers have now proven that vitamin supplementation can prevent several common chronic diseases. The average American diet does not provide the optimal amounts of nutrients. However, supplementation is not an adequate substitute for a good diet.To start, a good quality multivitamin is the core of any supplementation program. With or without iron is a subject of argument, but I would recommend if you need iron supplementation, it should be taken separately as most people get sufficient iron in their diet and too much can pose problems as well as impede absorption of other vitamins.
Tips on Buying Anti Aging Supplements* Research before you buy. Know what you are buying, the proper amounts, and any side effects* Buy a quality brand. It should have a certificate of analysis, adhere to GMP standards, and use standardized herbal extracts.* Check first for reactions if you are taking any prescription medications. Some supplements clearly state they are not to be used with certain drugs.* Always check with your physician or an anti aging specialist for the proper dosage and combination.Beyond that, here is a list of widely accepted (in the anti aging field) supplements you should explore further. I will be going into each one separately in future articles, but here is a brief summary:* Alpha lipoic acid – a strong antioxidant that has proven to be helpful in a wide variety of conditions including diabetes, stroke, memory and brain function and numerous other benefits* Acetyl L-carnitine – enhances memory as well as mental quickness* Coenzyme Q10 – has been shown to improve many conditions associated with aging but is most known for its cardiac or heart disease benefits.* Green tea extracts – green tea catechins may play a role in cognitive enhancement, maintaining proper weight and lowering risk of certain cancers* Omega 3 Fish Oil -Fish Oil supports healthy heart and cardiovascular function, the function of cellular membranes and healthy brain development.* Resveratrol – found in red wine, this powerful antioxidant provides anti-inflammatory, cardio protective and neuro protective functions.* Ascorbyl palmitate – a fat-soluble Vitamin C, this antioxidant helps protect cells from free radical damage.* Vitamin E – actually Annatto Tocotrienols, a new type of Vitamin E, helps to promote the cardiovascular system.
Bruce N. Ames, PhD, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, swears by: his daily 800 mg of alpha-lipoic acid and 2,000 mg of acetyl-L-carnitine. In these amounts, he says, the chemicals boost the energy output of mitochondria, which power our cells. "I think mitochondrial decay is a major factor in aging," Ames says–it's been linked to diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes.This is not a comprehensive listing, nor should you go out and buy a bunch of supplements. Always check with your physician first and you may want to see a doctor specializing in anti aging.You may also want to be tested first for any deficiencies – an important step before you start any supplementation.Should you start an anti aging supplement program? That's a personal choice and one totally up to you. Give any program a chance to do its job – usually a month or two, before deciding if it works for you.

CMEV media and communications operations | Parliamentary Election, August 2015
Posted on August 31, 2015 by Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) in Interim Reports, Presentations, Press Releases.
The information and communications operations of the Centre for Monitoring Election Violence (CMEV) for the Parliamentary Election held on 17 August 2015 was anchored to the foundations laid for the Presidential Election in January this year. Operational security from an information and communications perspective was radically different to the context in January. As subsequent reports have shown, the intelligence services, military and Police under former President Mahinda Rajapaksa had invested heavily in surveillance infrastructure to contain, control and censor information, including around elections. CMEV's info-sec (information security) and op-sec (operational security) considerations in August were not hostage to these same considerations and were thus re-engineered to be less around secure and resilient communications, and more around information dissemination.
Platforms and apps
As has always been the case, CMEV's central hub remains its website where press releases, statements, communiques, infographics and mainstream media coverage of operations and output were added on a daily basis in the lead up to the election, as well as on election day. Leading up to and on election day, CMEV's website saw a surge in traffic. On election day, the website was viewed over 1,300 times. Designed to be resilient against denial of service attacks as well as traffic spikes (hosted on WordPress.com) CMEV's website – the only fully responsive website of an election monitoring body in Sri Lanka (rendering perfectly on whatever browser or device it is viewed on) – coped well.
Continuing what was started in January for the Presidential Election as a means of putting out information around monitoring operations even if CMEV's website came under attack, WhatsApp was employed extensively in the lead up to and on election day. Two groups, totalling over 300 individuals from Sri Lanka and abroad received over 36 updated which included audio, text and links to documents in Sinhala, Tamil and English plus images in the form of charts and infographics. Every single update put online was sent through WhatsApp. The Sinhala civic media website Vikalpa, anchored to the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA), also managed a WhatsApp based information service of its own, with its Editor – who was a CMEV monitor in Jaffna – providing updates in Sinhala throughout the day to over 100 individual subscribers.
CMEV's Twitter account (@cmev) on election day alone published over 74 tweets. These included retweets of situation updates, engagement with other users, content and updates from CMEV plus links to pertinent news reports from the web. In contrast to the reach of CMEV's website, CMEV's Twitter feed alone, on election day, was read 23,534 times, over over the 7-day period ending 17 August, the account got 32,800 impressions – an average of around 5,000 impressions day. Over 230 clicked through to the web links the CMEV account tweeted, 177 retweeted our updates and 27 had favourited them. The level of engagement with CMEV's content over social media was quantitatively and qualitatively higher than the Presidential Election in January.
In addition to CMEV, Groundviews (@groundviews) also put out updates on Twitter related to the election, complementing the output of CMEV. Whereas CMEV's feeds stuck to information from CMEV itself or that which was from an official source, Groundviews tweeted opinion and news from other curated sources from Sri Lanka and abroad. Groundviews on Twitter over the 17 and 18 August was read over 80,000 times. Over the 7-day period ending 18 August, the account got 91,200 impressions, an average of around 19,500 a day. Also over the course of the week, 1,700 had clicked links tweeted by the account, over 360 had retweeted updates and close to a hundred had favourite them.
@CPASL, the Twitter account of the Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPA) also pushed out over 48 tweets on election day.
It must be noted that for all the accounts above, traffic was organic – in that there was no paid advertising pushing traffic to these accounts.
In addition to Twitter, CMEV, throughout election day, put out audio updates on Soundcloud.com, which were subsequently featured on CMEV's Facebook, Twitter and sent over WhatsApp as well. Updates were in Tamil, Sinhala and English, at around the start of polling, mid-day and once polls closed. On the 17th alone, over 370 listened to these updates.
CMEV's Facebook page, on which all output from CMEV is featured along with curated content from other official sources, saw a surge in traffic over the week. Reaching over 15,200 accounts, over 4,500 'liked' the page in the course of the week. Engagement with content on the page was also very high, with over 1,000 fans commenting on, liking or sharing the content published by CMEV. Organic readership on the 17th was exceeded 2,000.
Continuing a tri-lingual campaign to encourage the exercise of franchise particularly amongst first time voters and those between 18 – 24 in particular, Groundviews, CPA and CMEV as well as Maatram (CPA's Tamil language civic media eco-system) and Vikalpa re-featured the #iwillvote campaign across all web properties as well as, on the morning of the election, through an email sent to around 8,000 subscribers. The Editor of Groundviews Sanjana Hattotuwa posted an image at 7.12am on Groundviews noting that he had voted, using the virality of selfies particularly amongst the target demographic to promote the exercise of franchise. At 6.30am, the campaign was published over social media and sent out over email. By mid-day, this had resulted in hundreds uploading to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter images they had taken after voting. Though less in number overall than on the 8th of January, the #iwillvote hashtag was re-ignited independent of CPA/CMEV/Groundviews, demonstrating the interest in the larger community around voter mobilisation through online and social media channels. The use of #iwillvote's images (copyright free in tri-lingual) also reinforced the enduring validity of the campaign launched by CPA earlier this year.
General observations around social media
In addition to the information eco-systems of CPA, Groundviews, CMEV, Maatram and Vikalpa – reaching hundreds of thousands – the larger social media ecosystems around the Parliamentary Election is worth further study. Snapshots of this landscape on and leading up to election day follows.
For the first time, Facebook encouraged all its users based in Sri Lanka to update their status messages around the election. While opt-in (users could choose to ignore the Facebook prompt) this move by Facebook around voter mobilisation resulted in thousands updating their Facebook status to reflect the fact they were going to vote, had voted and various shades of political opinion. The status message also linked to the Election Department's official website, which promptly crashed on account of the traffic. While re-instated later in the day, the engineering into such a critical website – which has repeatedly gone down at every single major election – remains hugely suspect and in need of urgent reform. Most citizens were delivered information around the results of the Parliamentary Elections via SMS news services or election results dashboards set up on private media websites, in addition to of course radio and TV broadcasts.
Another key feature around the Parliamentary Elections was the use of Facebook in particular to promote candidates and political parties through individual accounts (i.e. through voluntary disclosure and without paid advertising). Many on Facebook used the platform to publicly reveal who they were voting for, why and encouraged others to vote for the same candidates or party. Others were more discreet and said they were voting to continue the change brought around on the 8 of January.
The open publication of political preferences – not just to Facebook friends, but as public posts anyone even without a Facebook account, or outside one's friend's network could see – is a major development in the discursive landscape of social media, and was reflected in updates in Sinhala and Tamil too (though your author's primary focus was content in English). One possible reason for this is the freedom of expression, felt across the political spectrum, after the change of Presidency in January. Whereas in January there was a groundswell of opinion over social media around regime change, just a handful expressed openly the desire to be rid of the Rajapaksa's and there was not a single update across any social media observed that to the extent evident on and around 17 August openly stated voting preferences, political opinion and political opposition.
Tacitly acknowledging the power of social media and its reach, the former President Mahinda Rajapaksa took to Twitter at 7.29 on the morning of the 18th to counter a story on AFP noting that he had conceded defeat and that his dreams of becoming PM were dashed. The story grew virally across local and international mainstream media as well as social media. @groundviews over Twitter and Facebook first tweeted Udaya Gammanpila's Facebook update that the UPFA had lost the election, refuting directly the former President's comment on Twitter that he couldn't accept victory or concede defeat until the final results were officially released. This interplay of social media and web based mainstream media news resulted in heightened traffic to sites and accounts with updates around what the former President said, or didn't say, along with others from the UPFA contradicting him or seemingly conceding defeat as well. It is unclear if TV and radio broadcasts picked up on this traffic spike. Reflecting this heightened exchange, at around 7.30am on the 18th, when official election results were trickling in, Twitter updates around the elections reached their peak. Groundviews monitored two hashtags #SLGE15 and #GenElecSL – which were by Sri Lanka's Twitter community writ large accepted as the two 'official' hashtags to use around election updates. #SLGE15 at around 7.30am was peaking at around 9 tweets a minute. #GenElecSL at around 24 tweets a minute. As long as Groundviews has archived public tweets around events in Sri Lanka (Twitter Q&A, UN debates, elections) this was the most amount of tweets ever published in the same span of time.
Social media – Facebook and Twitter in particular – were also used to fan discord and sow unrest by spreading false rumours. The LTTE and UNP were frequently joined, and others claimed the result of the election was "an international conspiracy". Yet others on Twitter said the new Government would lead to Eelam's fruition, and many published derogatory comments about Ranil Wickremesinghe, the Leader of UNP, and surprisingly, also on President Sirisena. Given reports that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa employed vast numbers of individuals in strategic, carefully planned media operations including over social media to construct his image, and shape the discourse (including by planting false information and rumours), the effect of these disinformation and misinformation was minimal. One reason for this could be, as noted early, the opening up of the discursive spaces online resulting in the former President's modus operandi – controlling the meta-narrative in a tightly censored space – falling apart. With hundreds of independent voices all publishing at the same time and calling to question the record of the former President and those in his government, attempts to incite hatred and the use of incendiary language did not have the same impact as intended, and would have been possible under a repressive political context.
Overall, the information and communications operations of CMEV, complemented by the updates put out by Groundviews, Maatram, Vikalpa and CPA itself, remain unparalleled. From field based information gathering to communicating in real time to CMEV's HQ, from the use of social media to the coverage CMEV operations received across Tamil, Sinhala and English mainstream print media – including the international press – was qualitatively and quantitatively more than the Presidential Election. CMEV's information generation, dissemination and storage remains a model for other electoral processes to emulate, especially those operating in austere, censorious and authoritarian contexts.

Profile of Major Incidents
At the end of the campaign on August 14th, 2015, CMEV received 810 complaints of which 143 were classified as Major. Of the latter category, Murder was recorded at 04, Hurt at 05, Grievous Hurt at 03, Assaults at 46, Threat and Intimidation at 08, Misuse of State Resources at 47, Robbery at 01, Arson at 16, Abduction at 02, Damage to Property at 10 and an incident of Bribery. In 12 incidents the use of firearms was recorded. Of the latter, the UNP was identified as the alleged perpetrator in 03 incidents, the SLMC in 01 and in the rest, the alleged perpetrator has not been identified.
Of the Major Incidents, 07 occurred in the Batticaloa Polling Division, 05 in Mannar, 05 in Jaffna and 05 in Minuwangoda. In the incidents where the perpetrator has been identified, the UPFA has been named in 49 incidents, the UNP in 38, ITAK in 08, EPDP in 06, the SLMC in 08 and the AITC in 01.
Four (04) Murders have marred the election campaign, which has otherwise recorded incidents of violence of a relatively low scale and intensity in comparison to the past. As shown in the graph below the percentage proportion of Major Incidents of the total of those reported throughout the campaign is 17% as opposed to 45%, 56% and 54% in the 2010 Presidential and General Election campaigns and the 2015 Presidential Election campaign, respectively.
CMEV monitors have reported on the enabling political environment for campaigning and political discussion and about the space and freedom for action without interference on the part of the Election Commissioner and the Police. Both have acted to ensure adherence to the election laws, though there have been complaints about the lack of clarity and consistency with regard to implementation and in some cases the ad hoc nature of such. CMEV notes too that the strict adherence to existing election laws in respect of posters, could in practice work to the disadvantage of first time candidates and those with less resources to resort to advertisements on the electronic media. According to the Police, 790 suspects have been arrested with regard to election violence and violations of election laws. CMEV has details of 382 arrests as follows:
District No. of Arrested Persons Police Division No. of Arrested Persons
Colombo 40 Galle 33
Kaluthara 32 Matara 20
Gampaha 26 Hambantota 10

Presidential Election 2015: Statement at the Conclusion of Polling 8th January 2015

CMEV deployed a total of approximately 4,500 monitors in the field, in polling stations and in mobile teams in the 2015 Presidential Election. On Election Day, CMEV recorded 223 incidents with 101 major incidents and 122 minor incidents. Out of the 223 incidents CMEV documented 124 incidents against the ruling UPFA with unknown actors cited as the alleged perpetrator in 81 incidents. Out of the major incidents, six incidents related to assault and six were of threat and intimidation. Election day witnessed several other incidents of election related violations including electioneering and misuse of state resources with most violations attributed to government politicians and supporters.
Notwithstanding the above and the incidents in the campaign noted below, CMEV believes that the voting in this Presidential Election was not significantly distorted by violence and malpractice and we salute our fellow citizens for ensuring this.
Turnout was relatively high reflecting the level of interest in the election despite the short campaign period. There were challenges however, that impacted the ability of some voters to freely exercise their franchise. For instance, on Election day, CMEV also raised concerns with the Commissioner of Elections about of an estimated 6,000 eligible voters in Puttalam being unable to travel to Mannar to vote. The inability to address this issue resulted in a significant population being deprived of their constitutional right to the franchise and is indicative of the political thuggery embedded in our political culture and practice. CMEV received reports as well of voters having to mark their ballots in full view of election officials and others.
The Northern Province witnessed a number of attempts to impact voter turnout on Election Day through intimidation, threats and confusing messages. The call for a boycott and attempts to discourage voting for the common opposition candidate through the circulation of unsolicited text messages and handbills, all contributed to a charged and confused environment. This coupled with two explosions – one each in Jaffna and Vavuniya, respectively, may have impacted the relatively lower turnout than expected in these districts.
The pre election report released by CMEV on 6 January 2015, raised concerns about shortcomings in the postal voting process, the role of the military in particular in the intimidation of voters and the unprecedentedly large- scale abuse of state property including the employment of the state –controlled media, even after the end of the official campaign period and on polling day, for relentless government propaganda. CMEV welcomed several court orders against perpetrators of election violence, but is dismayed that no one has yet to be held to account. The campaign witnessed several instances where CMEV monitors were threatened and attacked, human rights defenders and media activists threatened. This election, although not seen as one of the most violent in recent history, witnessed attacks against election officials by supporters of ministers, which CMEV condemned and called for swift action in respect of.
CMEV takes this opportunity to commend the decisive action taken by the Commissioner for Elections, Mahinda Deshapriya to insist on a correction on air by Rupavahini to a false news item broadcast this morning, claiming that UNP Deputy Leader Sajith Premadasa had joined the Government.
The Commissioner of Elections issued a number of instructions prior to voting day in order to minimise abuses of electoral law. Furthermore, recognising international standards on the important role election monitors can play in increasing transparency and public confidence in the electoral process, Mr. Deshapriya granted election monitoring organisations the opportunity to monitor the counting process for the first time in Sri Lanka.
Whilst CMEV notes the constructive responses of the Commissioner and his officials on a number of occasions, we also note that there were instances where our efforts to monitor the process were thwarted. On Election Day, CMEV was unable to access two polling centres – one each in Kalutara and Matara, respectively. When apprised of this, the Commissioner of Elections remedied the anomalies. CMEV places on record its appreciation of the Commissioner's response and looks forward to similar constructive engagement in the future.
In this context, CMEV reiterates the need for independent institutions including independent commissions for elections, police and public services, underscoring the need for constitutional and legal reform to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
We conclude this report by thanking the Commissioner of Elections and the Police for the cooperation extended to CMEV, and very especially to our monitors and the public for their steadfast commitment and support which made our monitoring exercise possible.

3rd Media Communiqué, 26th January 2010, 1030Hrs
CMEV received reports of multiple explosions in Nallur, Uduppidy, Manipay, Vaddukottai, Chavakachcheri and Tellipallai. CMEV's mobile teams were dispatched to a number of locations where the attacks had reportedly taken place. CMEV teams verified damages at the following locations.
A push bike parked overnight in front of the polling station, J/Chunnakam Roman Catholic Tamil Mixed School (Polling Station Nos 28) was damaged.
A tea shop has been damaged on Point Pedro Road, behind Nallur Temple, 500m of J/Nallur Station Church of Ceylon Tamil Mixed School (Hall No 1-3 Polling Stations 35-37).
A tree has been damaged in front of the Jaffna Municipal Council's Fire Brigade, Point Pedro Road within 500m of J/Nallur Station Church of Ceylon Tamil Mixed School (Hall No 1-3 Polling Stations Nos 35-37).
A shop Arasady Road in Nallur within 150m from J/Kandarmadam Saivapiragasa Vidyalayam (Polling Centre No 41).
CMEV spoke with eye witnesses who said that within an hour of the incident a white van passed by the location in Arasady Road and Point Pedro Road.
CMEV contacted the police station in Jaffna, which is investigating one of the attacks following a police complaint. CMEV also received reports of attacks on polling centres including J/Waddukodai Hindu College(Polling Centre No 21) but observed no damages. These incidents are in addition to the hand grenade attack on the residence of Subramaniam Sharma, SLFP Uduppidi Coordinator, in Valvattithurai at around 3.30 am today reported by CMEV earlier.
CMEV was informed that most internally displaced persons (IDPs) in camps in Vavuniya and having a vote in other districts were still waiting to travel to their polling centres. CMEV was previously informed by Returning Officers of the areas that transport arrangements would be arranged and IDPs informed of the arrangements. At 11am CMEV was informed that only two busses with IDPs from Ramanathan camp in Vavuniya had left for Killinochchi and many others were waiting by the road outside the camp to be transported to their polling centres. CMEV monitors report that as of 09:00 am, potential voters in zone 5, 6, 7 and 8 (1,098 registered voters) were still waiting for transport. CMEV raised this issue with Assistant Transportation Officer, Mrs Pathmaraanjini who reported that 48 buses had been deployed within the Vavuniya District and 30 buses to transport voters to areas including Killinochchi and Mullaitivu. Sixteen of the 30 buses had arrived as of 11.30 a.m and the 14 are reportedly on the way.
CMEV was further informed that many IDPs had turned up to vote in Manik Farm camps in Vavuniya though not all were in possession of the specified identity documents recognized by the Election Commissioner. As a result authorities had allowed temporary camp cards issued by the Police to be used as identity documents. Though this measure allows those displaced and affected by conflict to cast their vote, CMEV is concerned that the use of temporary camp cards alone can lead to possible abuse.
CMEV was also informed of a case of a released 'surrendee' from the PRI Technical College currently living in Point Pedro with a relative who is registered to vote at the College but who has not been notified of travel arrangements. The Assistant Election Commissioner Kugathanan informed CMEV that he has no information from the Government relating to the whereabouts of releases and returnees and therefore cannot inform them about transport arrangements.
CMEV is deeply concerned that the spate of violent incidents in Jaffna immediately before the commencement of polling and in the early hours of polling, indicate a systematic attempt to disrupt voting and ensure a low voter turnout in the peninsula. CMEV's concern is reinforced by the simple fact of this election being our first post war national election and the one in which the people of the north have an opportunity to demonstrate their faith in and commitment to democratic processes in Sri Lanka. This is especially regrettable given the imperatives of peace, reconciliation and national unity.
We call on election officials to ensure that the transport arrangements for IDPs are met. It is important that delays in transport arrangements do not affect voter turn out adversely.

Fit for a King: What Does $211 Million Get You These Days?
Have you ever thought about what you do if you came into a million dollars? How about $10 million? $100 million?
Luxury yachts. Private islands. An endless array of staff to wait on you hand and foot. I think I could get used to that!
If you think a $100 million is a lot of money to acquire – think about someone who spends over $200 million on a SINGLE real estate purchase.
Think it hasn't happened in this economy? Think the economy is still in the tank?
The kicker? This $200+ million home purchase was an unfurnished apartment in London. Let me explain what I mean by unfurnished: bare walls and no amenities. Headed to the loo? Better bring your own toilet!
The home sold for 135.4 million pounds which equates to approximately $221 million. The new happy homeowner, Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akhmetov, is reportedly going to be spending up to 60 million pounds on interior work. Akhmetov is a miner's son and the 148th richest man in the world.
This is the most expensive residential property sold in the UK. Too bad this flat isn't available for The Royal Wedding on April 29th. Although, I doubt Prince William and Kate Middleton would trade Westminster Abbey for Hyde Park.
What do you think of this purchase? I'd love to get your feedback – leave me a comment below!

August 19th at the Santa Monica Pier: Bettye LaVette
The Mick Taylor show has been canceled, Bettye LaVette and The Tom Noland Band are the replacements! As always, the concerts start at 7pm and are free to the public.
According to the New York Times, "Ms LaVette rivals Aretha Franklin as her generation's most vital soul singer. She uses every scrape, shout and break in her raspy voice, with a predator's sense of timing to seize the drama of a song." Ms. LaVette has most recently made news in her nearly 50 year career with her May 2010 release of, "Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook," which brings the British Invasion home to its American R & B roots and features LaVette's raw emotional renderings of compositions by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
For those who missed LaVette's powerfully memorable three night run at the Hollywood Bowl earlier this year, another opportunity presents itself to see this force of nature. Ms. LaVette's show will include material spanning her entire career including the British Rock Songbook
One word sums up the Tom Nolan Band's mission: "Dance!" Long-time local favorites, TNB boasts a world class rhythm section, great singers and soloists, and an intense stage show. TNB brings people to their feet playing a mix of originals and classic dance tunes which blend Soul, Blues, R&B and rock 'n roll.
In 2008, the band released its seventh CD, "Live at Rusty's" to much acclaim. You may have seen them at a community concert, blues or jazz festivals around the state, or playing at Rusty's Surf Ranch right here on the Santa Monica Pier, where they have been in residence for fifteen years. The Tom Nolan Band lends their talents, support and efforts to Habitat for Humanity, Katrina Relief, the Concern Foundation, the MS Foundation, the Red Cross, Heal the Bay, and many Los Angeles schools. TNB continues to bring joy and fun to the California music scene. In a word, "Dance!"

Charter Celebration
Charter celebrations for revived Crowborough Rotary Club
On Friday 20th January the Nevill Crest and Gun played host to a large gathering of Rotarians and friends to witness Rotary's District Governor, Paul Frostick, presenting Graham Bucksey with a framed Charter certificate upgrading the club from a satellite of Heathfield & Waldron R.C. to a fully chartered Rotary Club in Great Britain and Ireland. Former President of Rotary, Ray Jackson then presented Graham with his Chain of Office.
Fellow Rotarians, previous Presidents. club members and friends joined District Governor Paul Frostick and Ray Jackson in celebrating Crowborough's Rotary Club gaining its Charter
President Graham Bucksey said how proud he was that the Club in Crowborough had come such a long way since he and Stephen Tester, a local businessman, decided to put Rotary back on the map in 2021. From small beginnings, Crowborough Rotary has grown rapidly and it has been extremely active in the community giving support to many different charitable organisations in the town. The club has raised well over £2000 in support of the Food Bank; Wealden Dementia Alliance as well as family charities and the Crowborough Women's Refuge.
Crowborough Rotary members have helped at the monthly Community Café in the Oasis Centre and filled 163 shoeboxes to send to Ukrainian children taking refuge in Polish orphanages and those who are caught up in the fighting in their country. The club has also actively supported town events such as the carnival and fireworks at bonfire night collecting money for the mayor's charities. The Rotary tombola and lucky dip stall have been a big attraction at the Crowborough Christmas Cracker Fair and other events.
The club has run a variety of very well supported events to help them raise money including a fashion show; golf competitions and a quiz night. Members of the public are always welcome to join in the fun and to help many in our community at the same time. For 2023 there is a busy calendar of events including a May fashion show and a golf event in June as well as an exciting classic car show later in the Summer. Do look out for posters in the town and information on the club's website.
President Graham Bucksey says "We meet twice each month and we welcome both women and men to join our growing club. So, if you want to enjoy some good friendship and to help make a real difference to our neighbours in the area do get involved.

So what has been released is something of a bastardization of Tarsem's original concept, changes which may be a large reason why the film's narrative edge feels dulled. Not a true retelling of a Greek myth, the movie does its best to blend together a 300 style war movie (the advertisements weren't shy about the fact that this film shares a production team with that one) with the fantastical world of a Clash of the Titans. This doesn't always work, from the story level. Though we see the exploits of the two human characters, we are also treated to images of the Gods, mulling over whether to intervene in the lives of the mortals and eventually getting involved in some epic fight sequences themselves. The connection between the Gods and the humans is thin – aside from one quick scene, the two groups rarely interact or have much of an impact upon one another. Add to this the plodding pace and sometimes absurd events (e.g. the location of the weapon, the already-stabbed man providing a warning before keeling over) and it becomes easy to see why some viewers would be less than enthused.
With that said, fans of Tarsem's previous work should find much to appreciate here. As always, the man has a visual flair that is unparalleled in all of cinema. Even in a film targeted squarely at a specific demographic, the director's style remains the center. The buildings of the cities in which the humans live are intricately carved into the faces of cliffs, rich hues in the costume denoting each character's significance. Religious temples are literally mazes of arches and catacombs, fire glistening off of the walls. It's no surprise to hear the man talk about his original intention of a Renaissance film: countless shots look as though they might well have been composed by Michelangelo himself. And the action sequences are stunningly choreographed as well, not one flat gimmick as in Zack Snyder's 300, but instead planned with great forethought. The humans fight quickly, with agility and great force – swords clanging loudly, men sliding along the ground and plunging pikes into the chests of one another. The Gods move with lightning speed, flashes of their gold tunics whizzing by as they swing their weapons through the air. A fight between the Gods and the evil Titans is a thrilling sight to behold, as each group has the ability to move faster than the human eye can see; but when one of the creatures falls dead, he falls at normal speed. This gives each of these supernatural characters the ability to skewer an enemy, whirl around to slaughter two more, then return to the first all within the blink of an eye. It's a singular concept and an amazing spectacle.
This is in addition to the unexpected flourishes that fans of great artistry can always rely on Tarsem to provide. A vast salt desert transforms into a raging sea before our eyes, the blood around a man's severed head begins to roil until the skull itself metamorphoses into a humongous ship on a blackened ocean, an horrific scene of brutality zooms outward until we emerge from a woman's eye, the camera zooms in on a gray cloud in the stratosphere to find that it's composed of floating men locked in savage combat (there's also a horse up there whose chest is split open, making this the third of Tarsem's three films which features the death of a horse). For every barren CGI landscape, there's a gorgeous rippled wall of mirrors, a swirling alabaster fort, a verdant Olympus where the Gods look down on the activity of the mortals.
If your tastes are more base and you're just looking for bloodshed, your search is over. The violence exhibited in Immortals is brutal and bloody. Heads are crushed, bodies are rent limb from limb, eyes are gouged out, tongues are sliced off, faces slashed, men burnt alive, you name it. The bravery of Theseus in facing King Hyperion and his thirty-thousand man horde is clear because of how graphic the violence is. There's no question what dangers Theseus faces, to what extent the mad king will go in retribution if our hero fails to meet the Hyperion with full force. The atmosphere matches the violence; an encounter with an enormous bull-headed man in the temple provides a good example of the chilling tension and sudden strikes of brute force that the film provides so well.
Immortals may not match Tarsem's previous films in terms of providing a coherently structured story. There are more cracks in the narrative here than there were even in the director's poorly-received first feature (a critical consensus which is, I might add, utterly ludicrous). But there's so much of Tarsem's signature panache which yet remains, an expertise in shot composition and framing, and a triumphant score to perfectly match the action on-screen. It may be true that Immortals is the least of the director's three feature films to date, but it's still dazzling, and intensely thrilling. It's still a movie made by Tarsem Singh.


ROMELU LUKAKU has refused to commit his long-term future to Everton.
The 22-year-old joined the Merseyside club for a club record £28 million from Chelsea last summer.
But the Belgian striker struggled for form at times this season as Everton finished in eleventh place.
Earlier in the year, Lukaku became a client of super-agent Mino Raiola and he claimed the forward would never have signed for Everton if he had represented him earlier and that he will not remain at the club long term.
And Lukaku, who is currently training with his national team, has acknowledged he still has four years left on his contract but admitted he wants to play in the Champions League.
He told Sky Sports News HQ: "That's the aim. Every player wants to play in the Champions League; every player wants to play at the highest level. You have to be ambitious in life.
"That's something that he (Raiola) has the right to say and I support him in that, otherwise we wouldn't be working together. He's my agent for something.
"At this moment, I am at Everton and have a four-year contract. I'm happy but you never know in football."

Thermolon™ is a better heat conductor than traditional coatings. The thermal performance enables superb searing and crispy frying! The excellent heat distribution also allows even cooking, which makes the food brown beautifully. It allows you to mostly cook on low to medium temperatures.


The government has confirmed that £3 million will be invested in Greater Manchester and the surrounding areas to help strengthen digital skills within the region.
"We want everyone to benefit from the digital revolution and by working in partnership with industry we can make sure that we're giving people the skills they need to succeed in the future," said Digital Minister Margot James.
Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham said: "Ensuring people in Greater Manchester have the skills they need to access the jobs that are being created in our outstanding digital and tech sector will be a key part of making our post-Brexit future a success.

Il foliderpeton (gen. Pholiderpeton) è un tetrapode estinto appartenente agli embolomeri. Visse nel Carbonifero superiore (circa 320 - 306 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Europa e in Nordamerica.

Descrizione
Questo animale è noto per alcuni fossili, tra cui uno scheletro incompleto (privo della parte posteriore). I resti indicano che doveva essere un animale di taglia media lungo circa due metri, dal cranio lungo poco più di 20 centimetri. Il corpo doveva essere lungo e flessibile (le vertebre presacrali erano circa 40) e, facendo un raffronto con altri animali simili come Eogyrinus, è possibile che la coda altrettanto lunga fosse piatta lateralmente. Gli arti dovevano essere minuscoli e non adatti alla locomozione terrestre, anche se più flessibili di quelli dell'arcaico Proterogyrinus. A quest'ultimo, Pholiderpeton assomigliava per la regione cervicale, anche se il pleurocentro dell'atlante era pienamente ossificato. La volta cranica e il palato erano uniti solo debolmente; erano presenti staffe massicce, ed era ancora presente l'anocleitro, un osso "relitto" (membro della serie sopracleitrale dei pesci) piccolo e ovale, che si articolava con il cleitro e presente anche in altri tetrapodi arcaici. Nelle vertebre, sia il pleurocentro che l'intercentro erano di forma cilindrica.

Classificazione
Descritto per la prima volta nel 1869 da Thomas Huxley, Pholiderpeton è noto principalmente per fossili carboniferi ritrovati nello Yorkshire (Inghilterra); la specie tipo è Pholiderpeton scutigerum. Nel 1958 Alfred Romer descrisse un'altra specie, P. bretonense, sulla base di una mandibola proveniente da terreni leggermente più antichi in Nuova Scozia (Canada). Al genere Pholiderpeton è a volte attribuito anche il più noto Eogyrinus, il quale sembrerebbe però essere dotato di un cranio più largo e di orbite meno squadrate.

Pholiderpeton è un membro degli eogirinidi, un gruppo di tetrapodi arcaici adatti a vivere nell'ambiente acquatico, di grandi dimensioni e sicuramente predatori. Affini a Pholiderpeton erano il già citato Eogyrinus e Pteroplax.

Paleobiologia
Pholiderpeton e le forme simili dovevano essere predatori di tutto rispetto, che si muovevano agilmente nelle paludi del Carbonifero alla ricerca di prede come pesci e anfibi arcaici.

Forming a dense rosette of long, sharp and very narrow leaflets, this unusual frost-hardy plant produces attractive sprays of yellow flowers which are are carried on a strong stalk that can be up 40 in (1 m) high. It is native to tussock grassland in the drier parts of the South Island of New Zealand where it thrives between 300 and 1400 m. In cultivation it does best in a sunny or lightly shaded spot as it does not prefer high summer temperatures and is a perfect replacement for e.g. Agave and Yucca in such climates. In areas where humidity is high it prefers a windy, exposed site.

Q: Compass compiler errors out every other time I have a Grunt task for compiling scss files using Compass and build fails every other time. When I change a file that uses a Compass mixin, e.g. @import box-sizing(border-box), it fails and says that plugin is not included (it actually is included in a file "all.scss" using @import "compass/css3/box-sizing", and then it includes other scss files.
Second time (after you see the error) you try to compile it, it works just fine. I guess the reason is that if other files (specifically my "all.scss" file) has not been changed, it skips it during compilation, so include is not found.
Also, if I use require 'box-sizing' or require "compass/css3/box-sizing" in config.rb, it also fails saying that it can't find this plugin.
Any idea what's the cause?

A: box-sizing is a mixin, so you want to @include it, not @import:
@include box-sizing(border-box);

As you were importing it, the compiler treats it as a Compass extension, which is missing in the config.rb. But it's not an extension in the first place, it's part of Compass in the first place!
So changing @import to @include will solve your issue.
See http://sass-lang.com/#mixins for syntax.
