President Donald on coal: 'Yes.' His chief economic adviser: 'No.'
By Dr. Denny Wilkins on May 30, 2017 • ( 2 Comments )
Is there a sane mind in the White House, one who believes the resurgence of coal promised by President Donald is a fiction concocted to garner November votes? Or who at least believes the coal industry is dead on its feet?
Even after his election, the president continued to promise coal renewal. In an address at the Environmental Protection Agency in March, he said:
We will unlock job producing natural gas, oil and shale energy. We will produce American coal to power American industry. [emphasis added]
President Donald has taken steps to unleash coal. He's rolled back clean-air policies and regulations of previous administrations. He's taken aim at President Obama's Clean Power Plan with the goal of killing it. He has ordered the lifting of a moratorium on coal leasing on federal lands.
But so many reasons exist to deny coal its presidentially desired comeback. S&R has detailed these reasons in the past.
An industry analysis forecasts a grim future for coal in 2017:
Coal production declining by as much as 40 million tons. Coal prices failing to increase enough to benefit shareholder or stimulate new investment. Coal exports remaining weak. Little or no gain from regulatory relief as capital continues its flight from coal. Increasingly dim employment prospects.
Three of the largest coal companies in the United States — Contura, Arch Coal, and Peabody — are in various stages of bankruptcy proceedings. Industry employment has fallen from 150,000 jobs in 1990 to 64,000 in 2015.
The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis says those jobs aren't returning.
Coal's value as an investment will remain clouded, however, by market competition from natural gas, wind, and solar, and gains in energy efficiency. Potential benefits from regulatory relief that has been promised by the new administration will provide little or no gain. And the long-term prognosis for the coal industry in every region from now through 2050 is poor, as more coal-fired power plants will close and as utilities will continue to allocate capital away from coal. Promises to create more coal jobs will not be kept — indeed the industry will continue to cut payrolls.
These losses will be related in part to the coal industry's long-term business model of producing more coal with fewer workers. Job losses will be exacerbated further by the current low coal-price environment and by the inability of the industry and its component companies to adapt to a smaller customer base. [emphasis added]
The former mayor of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, isn't buying the president's coal con, either.
Politicians who ignore these market realities and make promises to coal communities they can't keep are engaged in something worse than a con. They are telling those communities, in effect: The best hope they have, and that their children have, is to be trapped in a dying industry that will poison them. [emphasis added]
Now, it appears, there's a sane mind in the White House who disagrees with President Donald's coal dream. He would be the chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn. From CNN:
"Coal doesn't even make that much sense anymore as a feedstock," Gary Cohn said aboard Air Force One on Thursday, referring to raw materials that get converted into a fuel. … "If you think about how much solar and how much wind power we've created in the United States, we can be a manufacturing powerhouse and still be environmentally friendly," Cohn said.
Given the premium President Donald places on loyalty, should be we expect to hear soon Cohn's been fired and a pro-coal chief economic adviser will be forthcoming?

Home/Balkans/Balkan News/"Serbia cooperating fully with Hague"
"Serbia cooperating fully with Hague"
Serbia is fully cooperating with the Hague and is doing its utmost to bring the last two fugitives before the Hague, says the National Council for Cooperation.
"The government's position is clear. As soon as Hague fugitives Ratko Mladić and Goran Hadžić are located, if they are in Serbia, they'll be arrested and extradited to the Tribunal, and no-one need have any doubts about that," said Dušan Ignjatović, the director of the council bureau.
Ignjatović said that Serbia had thus far met over 99 percent of the Tribunal's demands linked to supplying documentation and that all requests for access to archives had been approved.
He said that there were currently a number of requests that had yet to be fully processed, which, he said, was due to the difficulty of providing an immediate response to all requests that arrived on a daily basis.
Regarding the Hague's decision to grant former Republic of Srpska President Biljana Plavšić early release, Ignjatović said that Serbia would do all it could should the Hague seek any assistance linked to the case.
Reiterating that Serbia had launched an initiative for those convicted by the Tribunal to serve their sentences in their home country, Ignjatović said that Belgrade was holding talks with the UN and the Tribunal on the issue and that progress was expected soon.

A few weeks ago I conducted a survey of more than 150 creative professionals to see what it takes to succeed as a creative today.
There were a lot of interesting insights (which I'll be publishing here in a few days), but one of the most insightful things that came as a result of the survey was also one of the most obvious.
Creative success takes hard work, often one small step at a time.
Of the total 150+ people who took the survey, 53% (or 81 of them) said that hard work was the sole reason they achieved any level of creativity. Of the people who reported that they were highly successful (as opposed to moderately, slightly, or not at all), 43% attributed their high success to hard work. Only one person reported that their success came from Jesus.
Too often – particularly for creatives – we tie ourselves around a single idea, our next project or our updated portfolio, as the one last thing that will finally make or break our career.
But creative ideas don't flourish like that.
There hasn't (as far as I know) ever been idea that was thought-up and immediately made a wide success. Not even close.
It took Edison decades of ideation to come up with a few that stuck. Picasso was largely a failure before he ever turned into a household name, and even that came only long after his death.
Success of your ideas comes one step at a time, after they've been vetted, crafted, re-worked, shared, consumed, and then re-worked again.
If you're looking to be successful as a creative, look at what your stepping stones are. Are you creating enough of them, or are your relying too much on one big boulder to get you across?

Wind Energy 101: How Wind Farms Generate Electricity
by Powershop on August 17, 2018
Think of this as a 'Wind Farm 101' to get you up to speed on the windy giants that are popping up all over the Australian landscape – and the world. Denmark is now more than 40 per cent wind powered, Norway has just announced a US$1.2 billion onshore wind project and Uruguay has gone from producing almost no wind energy less than a decade ago to generating nearly 95 per cent of its electricity from clean energy sources. Australia has an abundance of wind, and wind farms are a viable renewable energy source for the future.
Wind Energy, Wind Turbines and How They Work
Wind power is energy that's generated by harnessing the power of the wind through wind turbines. It's a great alternative to burning fossil fuels (like coal), because wind is clean, doesn't produce greenhouse gas emissions and there's lots of it. At present, it's the cheapest large-scale renewable energy source (Clean Energy Council).
Wind turbines are around 120 metres tall with blades that span around 45 metres. Their height lets the turbines capture stronger winds, but they can start generating electricity in light breezes (around 14 km/hour), reaching full output in winds of around 57 km/hour (Meridian Energy Australia).
Wind flows over the blades like air flowing over an aeroplane wing. This flow of air causes a different in air pressure between the top and bottom of the blade, moving the blade and making the central rotor spin.
The rotor drives a generator that produces energy to export to the grid. At full capacity, one wind turbine can generate 48 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy per day. Turbines can orient themselves to keep facing into the wind by rotating the nacelle.
Wind farms are simply areas of land dedicated to generating energy, where groups of individual wind turbines are connected to the electricity grid. The land between the turbines is sometimes used for agricultural purposes too. A large-scale wind farm might entail hundreds of wind turbines over a space of hundreds of square kilometres. To give you an idea of just how big wind farms can be, Gansu Wind Farm in China, produced about 6,000 MW of power in 2012 from more than 3,500 individual wind turbines.
Australian wind farms produced more than 30 per cent of the country's clean energy in 2014 and wind power made up 4.2 per cent of Australia's total electricity during the year (Clean Energy Council). Our national Renewable Energy Target ('RET') provides an incentive to build low-cost renewable energy projects, which means, given that wind power is currently the cheapest source of large-scale renewable energy, it's likely wind power will be the leading renewable energy technology supported by the RET in Australia over the next decade (Clean Energy Council).
Wind turbine at Mt Mercer wind farm
Our Wind Farms
We're backed by a 100 per cent renewable energy company Meridian Energy, which operates two wind farms in Australia. Our most recent project is the 64-turbine Mt Mercer Wind Farm just outside of Ballarat, which produces enough energy to power the entire Ballarat population – that's around 80,000 households.
We also operate the 35-turbine Mt Millar Wind Farm in South Australia. Our Mt Millar farm is positioned on an escarpment on an elongated site (about 7 kilometres long), which maximises the turbines' exposure to the wind. Mt Millar can generate up to 70 MW of electricity – enough to power around 36,000 households.
Mt Mercer and Mt Millar wind farms produce more renewable energy than the total energy used by all of Powershops' customers. By choosing Powershop as your electricity retailer, your money is going to a company that only invests in renewable energy.

More stylish, Faster than any other smartphone & an intelligent finger print reader. In short iPhone 5s is the best iPhone ever from Apple.
Latest released iPhone 5s from Apple has been touted as the most futuristic design of this Giant mobile provider. Apple's iPhone 5s looks almost a similar copy of carbon modelled Apple iPhone 5. But it has been a trademark of the Apple giants to make in some changes and transformation with odd number. This model also keeps up to its trademark signature where in some changes for the good have been done.
The screen of the latest released iPhone 5s remains the same; there is no bigger screen than its previous version. But the 5s boasts of being the first smart phone of hosting 64 bits capacitive processor units. The smart phone also introduces a great technology of a hidden finger to read. Adding to these two new features the users will also get to experience a whole new updates iOS 7. The apple thinkers are approaching this device with a whooping expectation and tagging the smart as more than just a refresh.
The Apple has planned to make the price at a reasonable benchmark, so that it can be bought by a large number of user groups. At $199 the Apple Company thinks it can proudly boast of giving its users a quality mobile with great standards of experience in it. Apple is of the view that the price that it offers will set them above par in specs war and come out in flying colours. But whether the specification performs in all the areas it offers? To make it a deserving smart phone, that we will check out now.
There is not much of a difference in the prime get up of the iPhone 5s. It looks quite an out and out similar to its predator. If you have adorned the strong carbon and aluminum built up of the iPhone 5 then you will surely appreciate this too. It has become a customary for the Apple team to bring out an updated version out of their seven versions. Like iPhone 3 and iPhone 3s or the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s, Look wise there seems to be nothing new. If one is a desperate iPhone lover, only he can distinguish the two models of iPhone5 and iPhone 5s.
The highlighting addition that is done in hardware department of the phone is the touch ID, which is a scanner of finger prints. This special feature can be directly seen in the home button of the navigation. One gets to find in a dual LED with flash enabled. There is iPhone written with slightly smaller font to match with the coating with io7.
The chip also has good advancement as it has got A7 chip from A6. It has a powerful processor 64 bits in its very root which makes it a strong device to handle.
The device also introduces us to a whole new compressor M7, which actually measures the data in motion. The last highlights in this are the iSight camera and the HD timer for the face time.
There has been testing done by many gadget companies in the past for the fingertip scanning sensors. But all proved to be a failure. The Motorolla with their Atrix 4G had many hopes. The touch sensors through fingers needed just to swipe off to get in the action directed, but in reality most of the time there was no result. But the Apple's touch ID has some high hopes. It is quite a powerful feature and can be seen in the very home button. It has a vivid state of art like charisma in it. The Touch ID once activated can even get great images of finger prints from varied angles.
The process of installing the finger prints is quite easy. It takes only some seconds to do the entire process. The memory of 5s can take up to five different types of finger prints, these finger prints can be either of person taken from various viewing angles or of other users also. This is one of the prime ways that a user can deal with privacy and can allocate only a certain number of people who can use the mobile.
In the department of the camera section, the Apple has always been a topper; they have a range of powerful specs to offer in the camera, which can often become a deciding factor for a mobile. Like its predators the iPhone 5s also has some great qualities, the maximum pixels that the rear end of the camera offers is eight mega pixels. The 5s also has a larger pixel power and also has increased apertures. These two advancements are not the only highlights there has a thirty percentile advancement and upsurge in the brightness and contrast sensitivity.
The performance of the camera stands as at par over the iPhone 5 as it has a good picture quality dim light. The camera also has an auto stabilizing of the foci. This means it can click at a stretch four images and then adjust with the sharpest ends from all and make complete photo with great color combination.
With the latest updated io7 there seems to be a whole new toast added to its features. Many find it a bit confusing, but for the usual io7 users, the interface is quite easy, they can easily point out the apps. But the get up has changed a lot. The multi-tasking lovers will get to experience a dream world with the trio combo of iOs, windows and sensor 4.
All in all it looks a classic smart phone to go for, with the range of price that it offers to its customers.

Japanese Whaling: For Science, or For Cultural Consistency?
In May 2014 at the International Whaling Commission (IWC) Scientific Committee annual meeting in Bled, Slovenia, the government of Japan officially announced its intentions to resume what it calls the "scientific whaling" of minkes in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary near Antarctica in the 2015-2016 season.
According to World Wildlife Fund, although scientific whaling is allowed under the convention that established the IWC, the regulations were written almost 70 years ago when lethal take was one of the only means of obtaining research data. Today, many cetacean experts believe that all of the information we need about whales can be acquired by nonlethal research and that there is no need to kill whales in order to provide the IWC with necessary data.
So, what is truly driving Japan's whaling passion: science or culture?
Japan has a long history with whaling; in fact, handheld harpoons dating back to 10,000 B.C. have been found. At the turn of the 20th century, the introduction of steamships and grenade-tipped harpoon guns gave the Japanese an even bigger advantage for securing whale meat. By 1934, Japan had expanded its whaling operations into Antarctica. During World War II, the hunting of whales helped keep Japanese citizens fed; so much so that by 1947, whale meat made up almost half of all animal protein consumed in the nation. By the 1960s, whales continued to make up nearly one-quarter of the Japanese diet.
The IWC recognizes three classifications of whaling: scientific, commercial and indigenous (which allows a limited take of whales from nonendangered species to satisfy a cultural need). Japan has never had a recognized need for indigenous whaling because unlike other indigenous groups, the Japanese have always had a commercial link to whaling.
Japan claims that there are about 761,000 minke whales in the Southern Ocean, although other estimates are in the range of 268,000. Either way, Japan believes that the animals exist in enough numbers that a return to commercial whaling of this particular species can be sustainably supported, assuming strict management of stocks and reasonable annual catch limits. The Japanese government maintains that its whaling research over the last two decades has paved the way for long-term, sustainable use of this renewable marine food resource. On June 9, 2014, The Guardian reported that Prime Minister Abe stated this is exactly the reason Japan wants to conduct its whale research: in order to obtain scientific data indispensable for the management of whale resources so that commercial whaling can be responsibly resumed.
However, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruled in March 2014 that special permits granted by Japan in connection with its Antarctic whale hunt are "not for purposes of scientific research pursuant to Article VIII, paragraph 1" of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. Japan did call off its 2014-15 Antarctic whale-hunting season and said it would redesign the mission in an effort to make it more scientific. However, a separate Japanese whale hunt does continue in the Pacific Northwest, as do hunts in coastal waters.The country is expected to submit its new proposal for hunting in Antarctica to the IWC Scientific Committee by November, six months before the next annual meeting in 2015.
Do you think Japan's annual whale hunt in Antarctic waters is a commercial venture masquerading as research? Should the IWC and ICJ reject all bids for whaling in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary; or given the world's imminent food shortage, should hunting based on scientific measures of sustainability be allowed?
Japan appears to be extremely stubborn in pursuing an exercise that has raised doubts in the minds of the world's scientific community. And why should it be Japan alone carrying out these so-called scientific exercises? Culture is probably the objective.
The annual slaughter of the whales is no longer an economic enterprise. The taste for whale meat is waning and much of the meat is never sold. During the last hunting season, many of the whaling ships returned to Japan without any whales or with a catch far below what had been planned. Greenpeace had a major campaign that deterred some of the ships from their hunt. The Japanese Government is fully aware that the hunt is not sustainable and, like other whaling nations (Norway, for example) continues to perpetuate the myth of scientific research as the reason for supporting the killing.
So-called "scientific whaling" is a very thinly disguised commercial enterprise. Empirically, there is no need for it; economically, though, there remains a demand for whale meat in Japan.
I am not sure how you can even attempt to legitimize Japan's propaganda about whaling for "scientific research". Asking that question as if it's a real argument is akin to the media giving creedance and facetime to climate change deniers, especially those working in the industries that have created the majority of this change. We already KNOW it's a glaring, dangerous lie so why perpetrate it as a legit option for discussion? I think you bring up a lot of good information and ideas, but the framing of it worries me. It's clear that no one, not even the author, believe Japan's claims of scientific research so what is the point of even asking?
And I agree with other commentors. You're missing the huge economic factors involved in this, as well as the ignorance of the general public in Japan and the hubris of the Japanese whaling industry. Look at Mitsubishi's approach to blue fin tuna in the Mediterranean or the dolphin drive hunt in Taiji. This is neither about science nor culture. It's about money and pride.
The Japanese whaling industry isn't scientific. Any claim to be interested in sustainability is voided by killing the studied species. Furthermore, any meat from the carcasses should not enter the luxury food market; there's no doubt where the interest lies … money.
Interesting article though the title can evoke strong reactions at first glance. I think any activity is good if the intent is good. This is selective hunting is permitted by IUCN and funds are appropriated for conservation purpose (which I am sure is audited). I support painless shooting like photography. If a human does decide to hunt, I propose one without weapons so that the competition is fair and the animal has a choice of fight or flight. You will agree, this is being really brave.
Japanese whaling is truly only for the market value of the processed whales.
You are doing great with your always well-illustrated coverage of so many important issues, Candice. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words, Sune! — C.G.A.
In my humble opinion you omitted a third option which probably most closely reflects reality: economics. In Japanese culture economics for specific groups is always a top motivator. "Fishermen" and the consequent employment chain would be paramount in this case. This activity "traditionally" financially supports some highly influential people in Japan and they are going to defend their economic reality by whatever public image statements work. When dealing with Japan we always have to remember Japan's insular foreign relations policy and attitude: "we are Japan and no one is going to tell us what or what not to do." This is pervasive, and is always a primary motivating factor in policy decisions, including both the "tribe" at large and small special interests.
It may be that neither science nor culture is driving Japan's decision but rather the entrenched power of the Fisheries Ministry and its clients and the lack of knowledge about the considerable bio-accumulation of various heavy metals and other things that make many whales not so good for you to eat. Japan is very familiar with mercury poisoning, given the history of the people near Minimata Bay, but most consumers may not understand the parallel perils of whale meat let alone the ecological impact of commercial whaling. Japan was responsive in the past to potential trade sanctions under the expanded array added to the Pelly Amendment as part of the successful effort to limit the size of high seas drift-nets in the early 1990's. It may be time to consider a Pelly Amendment petition now as this action by Japan is likely to diminish the effectiveness of the IWC, CITES and possibly other international agreements for the conservation of endangered species.
As above, they really don't need any more 'scientific' whale meat as they have stores full of it that they can't sell.
There can be no doubt Why !!!! I just hope the" big" press pick up on the story.
Thanks for your great post, Candice.
The real threat to harvesting the protein resources from our oceans is a combination of several factors, such as unsustainable harvesting, pollution, climate change, habitat destruction, and acidification.
To be able to repair the damage we've done, we need to apply a pretty aggressive management, and in this process many cultural and social issues will obviously occur.
Constantly, we are going deeper in the oceans and father down the food chain to satisfy our needs. As the whales are in the very top of the food chain they are very vulnerable indeed to the delicate balance of the sea's biologic system.
If we do not very soon allocate the needed resources to a concerted ocean and biological research and show that we are able to implement a strict and well-coordinated resource management, then our "cultural rights" will soon be a myth and our plans on how we can feed a population of 8 billion will be in serious trouble.
Those whale numbers are probably high-side estimates by the Japanese and given half a chance they'll continue to push another species out the door.

This service is intended for companies and institutions whose website and online services represent a strategic channel for their business, involving high traffic volumes, data capture, transactions, etc. These attacks are becoming more and more frequent and cause serious damage, both financially and to their image as well as to the confidence of Internet users.
A reliable system marketed by .fr registrars
The .FR Lock service provides defence against various types of damage:
Attacks targeting institutions and businesses directly
Security issues that may arise at any point in the chain of players involved in management of a website.
With .FR Lock, the domain name is locked at the highest level, the registry, in close collaboration with accredited registrars. For .fr domains, this is Afnic. .FR Lock thus makes it impossible for any operations or updates to be carried out affecting proper working of a domain name without the owner being aware of it.
Any modification to a domain name must be carried out by the owner, under the control of Afnic, and only after legitimacy of the applicant has been verified, in close coordination with the registrar. .FR Lock thus affords a maximum level of security for sensitive or strategic domain names.
In December 2018, 216 domain names were locked in this way; today there are 350, representing an increase of 60%. As reliability of websites and other services associated with domain names, in particular emails, is a strategic security imperative for numerous businesses and local authorities, AFNIC has since upgraded its .FR Lock system. Its new simplified management has helped accelerate the adoption of this system.
The four major changes are as follows:
A 24/7 service even easier to use, and an authentication process which speeds up interactions between contacts.
The use of two-factor authentication, which strengthens the security process even further.
Batch locking and unlocking: all or some domain names associated with the owner can be locked and unlocked during the same application.
Registration of authorised contacts for locking and unlocking operations in a "directory". This list of advisors and trusted contacts is checked upstream by AFNIC's customer representatives.
Currently, 20 registrars accredited by AFNIC have signed the agreement authorising them to offer the .FR Lock service. These include: Alinor.net; Com Laude; CSC Corporate; Domainoo; Gandi; Hogan Lovells; IP Twins; Markmonitor; Meyer & Partenaires; Namebay; Nameshield; Nordnet; Orange; Oxyd; Safebrands.
.FR Lock Issue Paper
Afnic is the acronym for Association Française pour le Nommage Internet en Coopération, the French Network Information Centre. The registry has been appointed by the French government to manage domain names under the .fr Top Level Domain. Afnic also manages the .re (Reunion Island), .pm (Saint-Pierre and Miquelon), .tf (French Southern and Antarctic Territories), .wf (Wallis and Futuna) and .yt (Mayotte) French Overseas TLDs.
In addition to managing French TLDs, Afnic's role is part of a wider public interest mission, which is to contribute on a daily basis, thanks to the efforts of its teams and its members, to a secure and stable internet, open to innovation and in which the French internet community plays a leading role. As part of that mission, Afnic, a non-profit organization, donates 90% of its profits to its Foundation for Digital Solidarity. Afnic is also the back-end registry for the companies as well as local and regional authorities that have chosen to have their own TLD, such as .paris, .bzh, .alsace, .corsica, .mma, .ovh, .leclerc and .sncf.
Established in 1997 and based in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, Afnic currently has 80 employees.

All of our efforts to find a fund raiser that every one of our members can easily participate in have evolved into the Appeal Letter drive. There is no simpler, more efficient or easier way to raise money, especially if you have a spinal cord injury, than to simply ask for it.
If you've ever sat around wondering what just one person like you can do to help bring about cure, this is it! I'm sure you all have friends, family, neighbors etc, who have offered to help you out over the years but they just don't know what they can do for you. Now, here's their chance.
People will respond. Believe me, we know. Since we've been doing this, the success stories of those who try it far, far outweigh the disappointments. Your commitment to it will be the single most overriding factor in the degree of your success.
It's just like finding a cure for spinal cord injury. If you try, you'll probably be surprised by what you can accomplish. One thing is for sure- if you don't try, you'll accomplish nothing.
Above you will find two examples of an Appeal Letter, one aimed at first time donors and one for people you've contacted before. Use them as is, or better yet, customize them to your own situation. Then just send them to everyone you can think of.
Start with family, friends, neighbors and relatives. Then start thinking. Do you have an insurance agent, lawyer, banker or broker? How about other business people you deal with? Or offices where you can post an Appeal Letter and sign up sheet?
Make a list of all your potential donors. Start with family, friends, relatives and neighbors. Then expand to people you do business with and anyone else you can think of. Maybe there are places you can post a letter and sign up sheet.
Now make a file of this list so you can keep track of the donations from year to year.
Download our Appeal Letters (see above) or use them to create one of your own. Put your return address on them and then make as many copies as you need.
As the donations come in, keep track of them on your chart. Then send them in to the Twin Cities chapter. You can send them in batches or keep them until after the cut-off date and send everything together.
That's all there is to it! You don't even have to leave the house. What could be easier than that? And IT REALLY WORKS!
Did you miss the October deadline? That's OK. You can do the Appeal any time!

Students at ORU come from across the globe. The gold countries indicate countries represented at ORU.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is a policy implemented by the Obama administration that provides work licenses and protection from deportation for unauthorized immigrants who were brought to the U.S. when they were under 16 years old. However, the Trump administration announced on Sept. 5 that DACA would come to an end.
Because of the specific age requirements for the program, most recipients of DACA, nicknamed "Dreamers," are still young adults. Recipients of the protected status had to be 31 years old or younger as of June 2012, who had come to the U.S. before their sixteenth birthday and continuously resided in the U.S. since June 2007. Recipients were also required to either be enrolled in school, have graduated from high school or be honorably discharged U.S. military veterans.
The elimination of DACA will affect nearly 800,000 young adults in the next two years, many of who are students.
Jordan Mazareigos, Oklahoma State University senior, is on track to graduate and has a job secured. Yet his future remains in question with the possibility of being deported to a country he has little to no memory of.
Mazareigos was given the opportunity to get a job and go to college when DACA was instated in 2012, allowing qualified immigrant children to legally stay and work in the U.S. However, with the program coming to an end, his future remains unclear.
DACA was originally established in June 2012, by Executive Branch memorandum (a type of executive action.) Former President Barack Obama implemented the program after Congress had rejected it multiple times. Since then, there have been many who questioned its constitutionality.
The controversy surrounding the policy is what drove its shutdown, according to a letter from Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch," stated Sessions in the Department of Justice letter.
Over the next few years, the Department of Homeland Security will phase out the program. Current DACA holders will retain their status until it expires, and any initial or DACA renewal requests that were filed before Sept. 5 will still be considered.
President Trump is giving Congress six months to come up with a legalized version of DACA or a replacement, according to The New York Times.
Protests have broken out in Washington and throughout the country against the decision to end the legislation that protects Dreamers. As of Sept. 25, Republican senators have proposed a replacement known as the SUCCEED Act (Solution for Undocumented Children through Careers Employment Education and Defending our nation). Both the SUCCEED Act and the Dream Act, a bill proposed by Democrats, are currently being debated.

Szalona Małgośka (także De dulle Griet) – stworzona w połowie XV wieku burgundzka bombarda. Urządzenie skonstruowano na polecenie Filipa Dobrego. Była to jedna z największych stworzonych bombard w historii. Lufa miała długość ponad pięciu metrów oraz średnicę 64 cm. Masa owej bombardy wynosiła 16400 kilogramów, a pociski, którymi strzelała ważyły około 300 kg. Obsługa tak wielkiego działa była jednak bardzo kosztowna i wkrótce zrezygnowano z tworzenia takich kolosów. Obecnie można oglądać ją na rynku w Gandawie. Szalona Małgośka była następczynią innego giganta zwanego Mons Meg.

One of the clear results of November's elections and their aftermath is that many citizens have a profound mistrust of the institutions that govern their lives.
Among the most effective ways government can counter that mistrust is by being transparent about what it is doing and how it is spending taxpayers' hard-earned dollars. And one of the most user-friendly and accessible ways governments can provide that information is on their websites.
So how are New York state's counties doing in their effort to provide information to the public on their websites?
Access to public information is the theme of Sunshine Week, which runs from today, Sunday, through Saturday. Founded by the American Society of News Editors in 2005, the media-led initiative calls attention to laws requiring government openness and transparency. Participants include news media, civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public's right to know.
While Dutchess County scored high with an 11.5 out of 14 points, Ulster County was lower at 9.5 points.
Contract information including bids and contracts for purchases from vendors.
"This is the kind of accountability that we would expect municipalities to provide." said Theresa Pardo, director of the Center for Technology in Government in Albany, a research institution in the University at Albany that offers guidance and expertise on information technology to government entities.
"This...is an artifact of siloed systems," Pardo said about the findings that many sites were missing categories.
►Only seven counties had complete or partial information in all nine of the categories that the USA TODAY audit examined: Cortland, Erie, Genesee, Livingston, Madison, Nassau, and Westchester; Livingston and Nassau were the only sites outside of New York City to obtain a perfect score of 14.
►The seven counties that performed worst in the survey were St Lawrence, Otsego, Schoharie, Chenango and Putnam, Herkimer and Hamilton.
►County websites performed better in criteria related to budget and meeting agendas and minutes and staff contact information, and those criteria were given greater weight in the audit.
"We have a very diverse state in New York..." said Acquario, referring to the wide range of revenues across local government and a reference to the low performance of Adirondack counties with small populations.
Dutchess County's website was missing lobbying information and only partially collected tax and meeting information.
"I think the county website is pretty extensive with the information available," said Marc Molinaro, Dutchess County executive . "We've made public access a priority, and we're consistently adding new information and expanding our public access tools."
Responding to the missing lobbying information, Molinaro said the county is rarely lobbied.
The county is in the process of redesigning the website to make it more user-friendly, as well as launching a Think Differently website focused on consolidating resources for people with special needs, Molinaro said. These are expected to launch this year, he added.
Ulster County partially collected meeting and contract information and was missing audits, lobbying and tax information.
Michael Hein, Ulster County executive, said the county is dedicated to transparency in how it operates.
"As the technology evolves, we must evolve to provide people with key data and maximize transparency," Hein said.
Reporters and editors, who are 'frequent fliers' on local government websites, also reported on the ease of access and usability of the websites; and their experiences varied dramatically.
Reporter Abbott Brant was hunting for budget documents in Ontario County: "I could not find the budget in any specific tab or section, but once I typed "budget" into the search bar it was easily accessible."
A side-by-side comparison of how the 57 counties outside of in 2017 compared with five years ago showed significant improvements in their digital shopfronts.
"Secrecy feeds cynicism ... new technologies allow the local government to give citizens a birds' eye view of government operations." said Blair Horner, executive director of the New York Public Interest Research Group, NYPIRG. "Using technologies allows the policy makers and elected officials to let the public into the policy-making process."
Horner says that younger voters don't expect to have to "go back to horse and buggy days" and use Freedom of Information requests to access information.
In fact, smaller, nimbler organizations are moving faster than local governments and posting vast amounts of data online. New York nonprofit OpenTheBooks.com captured spending within 1,350 units of state municipal governments flowing into 1.4 million vendors by sending out a barrage of Freedom of Information requests.
"We are helping to enforce open records law across New York. Our efforts will not stop until we have every dime taxed spent at every level of government online and in an easy to review format. Our goal is to make the low-level Freedom of Information Act request obsolete in the internet age."
Acquario said that New York local government "...is vast, with thousands and thousands of units" and that low survey scores shouldn't imply that local officials were actively thwarting access to information. He also said that NYSAC was strongly supportive of the state's Freedom of Information provisions and the work of the Committee on Open Government.
Horner from NYPRIG says that technology should help overcome bureaucratic hurdles and not add to public perceptions of government secrecy.
Counties are most likely to fall short when it comes to posting fast-changing information like contracts, said Pardo. Even if counties have a commitment to information transparency, they can fall prey to "siloed systems" Pardo says, and financial information often operates in isolation compared with the other day-to-day activities of local government.
NYSAC's Acquario pointed to turnover in local administrators and the need for constant training as another hurdle.
"I don't want the property tax cap to be a reason for a deficiency..." in providing quality information online said Acquario; referring to the fiscal challenges facing counties and their reliance on county sales tax to fund local programs above and beyond mandates from Albany.
On the information gaps identified by the USA TODAY Network survey, Acquario of NYSAC says that counties should be posting information on audits and lobbying relationships. "... contracts should certainly be posted, and I think that Sunshine Week, in light of the findings of the survey, points to the potential for (more) government training around Open Meeting Laws and Freedom of Information.
The Center for Technology in Government's Theresa Pardo says that documents like contracts and audits are often duplicated in other locations and that counties could link to entities like the state Comptroller's Office if they can't host the information themselves.
Horner from NYPIRG argues that open access rests with commitments from the 'political elites' in the state, who control most of the resources; a reference to the Albany bureaucracy. With polling showing high levels of concern over issues like corruption, Horner said, the state should "open their purse strings" to support efforts to get more local government information online.
OpenTheBooks.com has been filing bulk FOIL requests for information on the checkbook transactions of 2500 local government entities for financial years 2015 and 2016. Citizens can now review two years of 'where their local tax dollar was spent' on our website: https://www.openthebooks.com/search/?PensionCode=3756.

Chad to send troops to help stabilize Mali after French air strikes against Islamist rebels
N'DJAMENA, Chad – The north-central African nation of Chad is sending troops to help Mali battle radical Islamist insurgents who control a vast swath of territory along the Sahara's southern rim.
France — the former colonial power in both countries — in recent days has deployed hundreds of troops and carried out air strikes against the al-Qaida-linked rebels who have controlled northeastern Mali for nine months.
Political experts have been closely watching how Chad might participate in an African force in Mali because Chad has troops used to northern Mali's terrain and climate.
The Chadian presidency's Web site said President Idriss Deby Itno said Wednesday that Chad would send a "contingent" to Mali, without specifying the number of soldiers or when they would arrive. Chad's parliament approved the deployment.

Virginia police identify fifth possible 'shopping cart killer' victim
The remains of a woman found in a shopping cart this week in Washington, D.C. was positively identified by police officials Saturday, according to local reports.
Sonya Champ, 40, is believed to be the fifth victim in a number of murders carried out by a serial assailant dubbed the "shopping cart killer," according to NBC News.
Another two females were positively identified by Virginia police officials Friday evening.
Fairfax County Police Chief Kevin Davis told reporters that DNA analysis was used to identify 29-year-old Cheyenne Brown, of Washington, D.C., and 48-year-old Stephanie Harrison, of Redding, Calif., who were found in Alexandria, Va., on December 15, 2021.
4TH ALLEGED 'SHOPPING CART KILLER' VICTIM COULD BE MISSING WOMAN FROM CALIFORNIA
"He preys on the weak, he preys on the vulnerable, and he does unspeakable things with his victim," Davis said. "Our shopping cart killer does unspeakable things with his victims."

Police suspect Anthony Robinson, 35, of Washington, D.C., who was arrested and charged in November for the murder of two other women, is behind the killings.
Investigators believe Robinson transported the bodies of Allene Elizabeth Redmon, 54, and Tonita Lorice Smith, 39, in a shopping cart before their remains were discovered in Harrisonburg, Va.
"We believe he transported at least one of our Fairfax County victims in a shopping cart as well," Davis said.
Robinson has been listed as the "primary and singular suspect" in the murders of Brown and Harrison, and criminal charges are expected to be brought against him.

VIRGINIA'S 'SHOPPING CART KILLER' IN CUSTODY AFTER 4 BODIES DISCOVERED
Fairfax County Police Major Ed O'Carroll said Robinson is further suspected in the murder of Champ due to "digital evidence that puts him in the same vicinity around the time of the victim's disappearance."

Officials said they believe he made contact with his victims through dating websites.
"We're only going back a couple, two or three months," David told reporters. "And that's what worries us. He didn't suddenly turn into who he is three months ago.
"We're painstakingly going through his whereabouts, his relationships, his employment history to figure out if, in fact, there are other victims," he added.
Fox News could not immediately reach the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department for comment.

I just learned you can step onto and hold brake and the car will go in reverse. At least I'm doing it right now in the 125 shifter kart. Just hold break til you back up as needed, then hit gas. Auto selects both reverse and first for you. Don't know if it works on all cars.
Seen a lot of people complaining about how hard it is to recover from a shunt into wall or a spin.
I had a ds4 connected at same time and I lost use of buttons and ability to cycle through views.
I can confirm this stopped working after turning off ds4.

With 500k, my advise is to consider a condominium or shop lot. Houses naturally do not fetch good rentals.
condo can get a better return. no need to buy cash, just get a loan and put back the money available to reduce principal and interest.
For small time investors, 4 is a good starting figure. Tax benefits etc.
tax benefits? Which one? Are you referring to the "4 property=business income"?

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Very, Very Bad Decision
by Jon Levine | 8:38 am, February 26th, 2017
There were many losers in the 2016 elections besides Hillary Clinton. National Democrats, President Obama, Jeb Bush, environmentalists, and free trade neoliberalism are but a few. In the constellation of figures and institutions whose work the 45th president is now set to upend, none may be as consequential as the Supreme Court and the work of a quiet Jewish judge from Brooklyn, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Nobody can deny that since her appointment in 1993, Ginsburg has been a lion. As a stalwart of the court's liberal wing, she has authored major opinions ranging from gender equality, to insider trading to mental illness. Throughout her tenure, Ginsburg's legal and intellectual powers have remained as sharp as Japanese steel.
Nevertheless, the Justice — now in her ninth decade — took an enormous risk by staying on the court past the presidency of Barack Obama. Regardless of party, there can be no debate that her decision to remain into the tenure of Donald Trump has put her life's work and all of the causes she cares about at risk.
With the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to replace Antonin Scalia, Donald Trump, made good on a promise to the traditional conservatives who reluctantly backed his candidacy. After a requisite period of huffing and puffing from Senate Democrats, it is almost certain that Gorsuch will take his place on the high court. While it will no doubt be a bitter pill for progressives, the appointment will not change the fundamental ideological balance on the bench.
That wouldn't be the case with Ginsburg. If replaced by a Gorsuch-style jurist, the Supreme Court would lurch distinctly rightward. You don't have to be an actuary to see why the prospect has raised conservative hopes and jangled liberal nerves. Justice Ginsburg battled colon cancer in 1999 and pancreatic cancer a decade later. In 2014 she received a coronary stent after another health scare. During a recent appearance at the Kennedy Center in Washington, the Associated Press described her as "frail."
In 2016, Slate calculated that the likelihood of Justice Ginsburg dying by 2021 was more than 35%. The predicament is likely all the more maddeningly for liberals as calls for Ginsburg's retirement reached a fever pitch in the years immediately following President Obama's re-election in 2012. In her public comments, however, the Justice steadfastly foreclosed the possibility. "There will be a president after this one, and I'm hopeful that that president will be a fine president," she told the New York Times' Adam Liptak.
Wielding the cudgel of identity liberalism, a number of Ginsburg's defenders immediately leapt to genderize the issue and accuse those calling for her retirement of "sexisim." Writing for Slate in 2013, Emily Bazelon blithely dismissed Ginsburg's long history of health troubles and attributed calls for her retirement to the fact that she was a "small, slender woman who speaks in low tones and looks like a bird." A piece by Garrett Epps for The Atlantic titled, "Don't Tell Ruth Ginsburg to Retire," begins with a reminder that "If Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg had followed advice from male law professors like me, she would probably not be where she is today."
As is their wont, these, and similar takes, allowed the left's peculiar fetish for victimhood, to obscure what should have been obvious.
Some more serious observers might argue that a Ginsburg retirement may have simply precipitated the sustained Republican obstruction that came in the wake of the sudden death of her friend and colleague Antonin Scalia, but this doesn't wash either. The Democrats controlled the Senate up until the 2014 elections in November. Assuming he could keep his own party in line, President Obama could have swiftly confirmed almost anyone he wanted. If Republicans filibustered, Senate Democrats could have eliminated it.
In a remarkably prescient Op-Ed for the Los Angeles Times in March, 2014, Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Irvine School of Law, warned that Ginsburg needed to retire in 2014 to avoid exactly the same issue that confronted President Obama and Merrick Garland in 2016.
"If Ginsburg waits until 2016 to announce her retirement, there is a real chance that Republicans would delay the confirmation process to block an outgoing president from being able to fill a vacancy on the Supreme Court. In fact, the process for confirming nominees for judicial vacancies usually largely shuts down the summer before a presidential election."
Indeed, should President Trump wind up appointing a successor to Justice Ginsburg, she may find herself in an unusual spot — a hero to judicial conservatives, who will laud her for holding on just long enough to give them an opening.
This is an opinion piece. The views expressed in this article are those of just the author.

Some months ago, whilst I was describing the work of Atsushi Kaga (born Tokyo, 1978) to an American collector, I found myself dropping the rather cheesy line that Kaga …"draws with the line of an angel." Thankfully the collector not only concurred, but covered my embarrassment, at the hackneyed phrase by retorting; "yes, but he has the wit of the Devil". I now frequently employ both lines with less self-consciousness.
Atsushi Kaga describes his work as existing on, and incorporating the margins of worlds, at once arcane and everyday – posing "…mundane questions to which there are no particular answers". Kaga also claims to be an amateur with all the determination of a professional. Ostensibly, his deceptively simple works (drawings, paintings and animations – reflecting choices of medium, which are solidly within the mainstream tradition of the Japanese graphic story-telling tradition of Manga) is predicated around self-portraits of his alter ego, 'Bunny', and his adventures in the contemporary world, surrounded by a host of other reappearing symbolic characters.
Bunny is a classic folk-loric 'trickster' who straddles two worlds, falling somewhere between the formalities of Japanese society, family ties and expectations and the libertine lifestyle afforded by his (Kaga's and Bunny's) willing exile in contemporary Dublin, the playground of Europe. Curiously Kaga choose to leave his native Tokyo to be academically trained in Dublin, where he now lives and works. And fascinatingly, Ireland has left an indelible culture footprint on Kaga and resulted in a unique approach to visual practice and language. The figures in many of Kaga's drawings speak Japanese, ruminate philosophically, whilst joking around, downing pints of Guinness, gossiping and generally enjoy the 'craic'. They are culturally conflicted.
Behind the playful and surreal façade of Kaga's misleadingly simple and faux crude works, there lurks much darker issues of cultural politics and personal identity. Kaga confronts the daily crises of facing the harsh and philosophical realities of the world, all filtered through the paranoia of the new world order. His razor-sharp humor and extraordinary imagination takes the viewer, willingly, on a journey of exploration through a dark, complex and often brutal – but very funny – world.
Atsushi Kaga studied art in Dublin at The National College for Art & Design, graduating in 2005, and was acclaimed by Aidan Dunne, the art critic of The Irish Times, as one of the most exciting new emerging artists. His work has recently been included in two prominent exhibitions of contemporary drawing; The Square Route of Drawing (Temple Bar Gallery, Dublin) and Getting on Mother's Nerves, Psychological Drama and Contemporary Drawing at mother's tankstation. Other recent exhibitions include The RHA Gallagher Gallery, Dublin, the NADA art Fair, Miami, and DC art fair, Düsseldorf. Bunny's darkness is Atsushi Kaga's first solo exhibition in Ireland.

International Medical Solutions Unveils Its New Solutions for Google Cloud Healthcare Customers Transitioning to the Cloud
TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — International Medical Solutions ("IMS"), a Google Cloud Partner, today announced a solution that will enable radiologists and other healthcare clinicians to transition to the cloud. The IMS CloudSync™ enables radiology sites to transition to the cloud and continue to use their legacy on-premise workstations and DICOM viewers. The front-end solution designed with the needs of first time Google Cloud Platform (GCP) users in mind uses an implementation that enables GCP to be added to an on-premise legacy viewing workflow, where GCP would act as the archive. The plug-and-play solution works out-of-the-box and allows PACS sites to sync their on-premise storage of medical images with their cloud storage. The added benefit is the sites can continue to use their legacy PACS workstations to view images stored in the cloud.
"IMS has been working closely with Google Cloud to solve unmet needs for customers who are starting to transition to the cloud. CloudSync™ is an out-of-the-box, cost-effective solution that improves clinician workflows while enabling them to use on-prem legacy systems at the same time," says Vittorio Accomazzi, CTO of International Medical Solutions. Accomazzi adds, "Also, CloudSync™ inherently provides image sharing as it allows multiple sites to share and exchange images on GCP."
IMS CloudVue™ will also be featured at RSNA this year. The solution, which launched earlier this year, is a cloud-based viewing platform that provides the experience of an installed application on any device or workstation. CloudSync™ and CloudVue™ can also be used as a disaster recovery solution since CloudSync™ will upload the on-premise data onto GCP, which can be accessed using CloudVue™. At any given time, the user has two copies of the data and at least two ways for accessing it.
Over the last year, IMS has worked closely with Google Cloud to enhance the integration with the Google Cloud Healthcare API, including integrating with machine learning backend. Both IMS CloudSync™ and IMS CloudVue™ solutions will be available for demonstration in the Google Cloud booth during the RSNA conference.
"In our experience, healthcare professionals want cost-effective, easy-to-implement solutions that will improve their workflow and provide an accurate diagnosis for their patients. We believe our partnership with Google Cloud and our ability to quickly develop products to support the market, will transform the way medical images are read, interpreted, and stored for many years to come," adds Accomazzi.
Vittorio Accomazzi will be presenting and demonstrating both solutions on Tuesday, December 3rd, at 11:00 AM in the Google Cloud booth at the AI Showcase. Feel free to visit IMS at RSNA in the North Hall, Booth #11318.
