Earth2Tech has a post on efforts to educate Californian consumers about the benefits of smart grids (in the wake of problematic smart meter rollouts in the state) - Enter California's Smart Grid Task Force.
You know a problem has gotten out of hand when there's a task force created to address it. On Friday utility PG&E, the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, and the city of San Jose announced the creation of the "Smart Grid Task Force" that will tackle an area that has been sorely needed for the smart grid: public education.
The group, which will focus specifically on California, will start out by creating a research report around the economic impacts of the smart grid and members of the force include Oracle, Cisco, Nanosolar, Control4, Coulomb Technologies, Silver Spring Networks and OPower. The task force isn't the first group like this, and earlier this year 10 companies including IBM, Control4, the Gridwise Alliance, and General Electric, launched the Smart Grid Consumer Collaborative (SGCC), which focuses on consumer education across the U.S.


Staghorn corals are perhaps the best known and most easily recognised of all corals. They are fragile and easily broken, and thus are responsible for most coral cuts amongst reef walkers. The Noble Staghorn has long, thick branches, usually brown, cream, yellow, or sometimes blue or green in colour. Colonies may form extensive thickets in protected reef areas.
Common in reef habitats across northern Australia, south to Flinders Reef, Queensland, extending within the Indo-West Pacific from East Africa to French Polynesia.

Tesla finding manufacturing tough as it struggles with too many orders
October 10, 2017 by David Edwards
The new Model 3 saloon car from Tesla is way too popular for its own good and the company is struggling to cope with the number of orders it's being asked to deliver.
Despite the "bottlenecks" in manufacturing, the electric carmaker says it is on course to sell 100,000 vehicles this year for the first time in its 14-year history.
And if things go to CEO Elon Musk's forecasts, Tesla will be manufacturing 500,000 vehicles a year by the end of next year, according to Business Insider.
Such booming sales have catapulted the relative newcomer to the automotive sector to fourth in the world rankings, at least by revenue.
While it may have started out selling very high-end electric supercars, in recent years it has started designing and producing more conventional-looking saloon cars for the mass market.
However, being relatively new to manufacturing, the company is finding it difficult to make its robots work fast enough.
The company released a video (below) showing its robots working on the assembly line, but they will need to work faster if they are to deliver the 500,000 units the boss is hoping for.
The production system is said to be entirely new and different to other automakers, and, crucially, it was designed with a production rate of 100,000 vehicles a year.
But the unexpected high volume of orders has pit the company in an awkward position, although the general good will buyers have towards Tesla may provide the company with the time and space it needs to deliver.
In the meantime, the company has been reporting its progress so far.
In the third quarter of this year, Tesla says it delivered 26,150 vehicles, of which 14,065 were Model S, 11,865 were Model X, and 220 were Model 3.
This was the company's "all-time best quarter" for Model S and X deliveries, representing a 4.5 per cent increase over Q3 2016, its previous best quarter, and a 17.7 per cent increase over Q2 2017.
The company had previously indicated that second half Model S and X deliveries would likely exceed first half deliveries of 47,077, but Tesla now expects to exceed that by several thousand vehicles.
In total, Tesla expects to deliver about 100,000 Model S and X vehicles in 2017, which would be a 31 per cent increase over 2016.
In addition to Q3 deliveries, about 4,820 Model S and X vehicles were in transit to customers at the end of the quarter. These will be counted as deliveries in Q4 2017.
Q3 production totaled 25,336 vehicles, with 260 of them being Model 3.
Model 3 production was less than anticipated due to "production bottlenecks", says Tesla.
"Although the vast majority of manufacturing subsystems at both our California car plant and our Nevada Gigafactory are able to operate at high rate, a handful have taken longer to activate than expected," says Tesla in a statement.
However, the company emphasizes that there are "no fundamental issues with the Model 3 production or supply chain".
Tesla says it understands what needs to be fixed and is confident of addressing the manufacturing bottleneck issues in the near-term.
The company says the delivery count it published should be viewed as "slightly conservative", as it only count a car as delivered if it is transferred to the customer and all paperwork is correct.
Final numbers could vary by up to 0.5 per cent.
Tesla adds that its vehicle deliveries represent only one measure of the company's financial performance and should not be relied on as an indicator of quarterly financial results, which depend on a variety of factors, including the cost of sales, foreign exchange movements and mix of directly leased vehicles.

The existence of the peak indicator "Audio Peak Indicator" in an audio device is indispensable. Audio Peak indicator is a simple circuit to detect the peak level of the audio signal. Audio Peak indicator circuit is built with two transistors and LEDs as an indicator of the peak level detection of audio signals. The main functions of Audio Peak indicator circuit is to determine the occurrence of the peak level of the audio signal that is more than +4 dB, equivalent to 1.25 V rms. If the received audio signal Audio Peak Indicator more than +4 dB was the LEDs on the circuit Audio Peak indicator will light. Audio Peak indicator circuit is mounted on the output of the audio system.
Hopefully be able to form the reference material in the manufacture of Audio Peak Indicator series audio devices in the reader.

Collection Title: Philanthropic Society of the University of North Carolina Records, 1795-1959
Funding from the State Library of North Carolina supported the encoding of this finding aid.
Size 31.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 1200 items)
Abstract The Philanthropic Society was the second of two literary societies formed in 1795, the year the University of North Carolina opened. Throughout the nineteenth century, nearly all students were members of one of these societies. Students from the eastern portion of the state tended to belong to the Philanthropic Society and those from the western portion to the Dialectic Society. The societies provided literary and oratorical training, and exercised many of the functions of student government. They also acquired books and developed extensive libraries. In 1886, the societies merged their libraries into the university library. Records of the Philanthropic Society include minutes, inaugural addresses of society presidents, commencement addresses, debates, bills and resolutions, correspondence, committee records, treasurers' records, membership records, the constitution and bylaws, library catalogs and circulation records, and publicity records. Correspondence concerns requests for portraits, library book orders, invitations to deliver addresses, and financial matters. Committee records include reports of the alumni, arrangements, constitutional, education, executive, finance, housing, librarian, membership, properties, ways and means, and special committees. Treasurers' records include members' accounts, accounts of income and expenditures, records of fines, and receipts for payments of society debts. Membership records include membership lists and records of attendance at society meetings. Library records include catalogs of holdings, 1835-1880s, and circulation records, 1817-1886.

Dialectic Society Records (#40152)
Dialetic and Philanthropic Joint Senate Records (#40153)
The University of North Carolina opened its doors on 15 January 1795. The first recorded meeting of its student Debating Society occurred less than five months later, on 3 June 1795. Undoubtedly, Tutor Charles W. Harris had some influence on its creation, since he had been attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) and was familiar with the Whig Society there. Thirty-one members pledged to abide by the laws of the Debating Society. However, at its third meeting, on 25 June 1795, a motion was made to divide into two separate societies. Voting on the motion was postponed for a week; and at a meeting on 2 July, a vote was taken, the motion passed, and a second society was created. It was called the Concord Society. The records of the societies do not reveal why the division was made. Historians have suggested that it may have been because of political differences, or disagreement over the powers of the Censor Morum (the Debating Society officer who inspected the conduct and morals of the members), or simply a desire to provide more frequent opportunities for debate. The following year both societies changed their names to the Greek equivalents. The Debating Society became the Dialectic Society on 25 August 1796, and on 29 August 1796 the Concord Society became the Philanthropic Society.
In his History of the University of North Carolina, Kemp P. Battle wrote, "The Fundamental Laws, afterward called Constitution, and the course of proceedings of the two societies were much alike. In the Concord for a short while new members could be admitted by a majority vote. . . I notice no other material differences, and I make no further distinction between the two in endeavoring to reproduce their action." The stated goals of both societies were the cultivation of friendship and the promotion of useful knowledge. The latter included development of the members' debating skill, writing style, and knowledge of parliamentary rules. Officers of the societies included a president; a clerk; a treasurer; a censor morum; and two correctors, who reviewed the members' compositions. The censor morum, whose powers were more restricted than those of the Debating Society officer, was later replaced by a vice-president.
Members were divided into three classes; and alternately at each meeting one class read, another composed, and the third spoke. Reading meant reading aloud a passage from an author, while speaking (or declaiming) meant reciting from memory a passage from a famous speech. Those composing had to read aloud short essays they had written. Meetings were held once a week (later, twice a week). In addition to the three activities described above, each meeting included a debate, in which two of the members would argue a predetermined question. The societies awarded diplomas, and although not an academic diploma, a society diploma was a distinct honor conferred on a member who was well respected and had performed his society duties outstandingly.
In support of their activities the societies acquired, by gift and purchase, extensive library and portrait collections. For the most part, books were purchased from funds provided by dues and fees imposed on the members. Eventually, the societies' combined libraries became larger than the university library. According to Kemp P. Battle, "as early as 1835 there were about 6,000 well-selected books in the two, probably the best collection in the State." By 1875, the Dialectic Society alone had amassed 6,943 volumes. In 1886, the two societies merged their library holdings into the university's collection.
Until 1848, the societies met in their libraries, which were on the third floor of South Building. The additions to Old East and Old West completed in 1848 included new quarters for the societies--the Dialectic in Old West and the Philanthropic in Old East. In 1860, the societies moved to chambers in New East and New West.
By virtue of their concern with the conduct of their members, the societies also functioned as the campus student government for over a century and were instrumental in the development of the Honor System. Bad conduct by one member was thought to reflect on the entire society. The societies imposed fines for various offenses, and it was not uncommon for them to impeach members for repeated or excessive misconduct. Around 1890, the faculty, interested in fostering student self-government, began to refer cases of cheating to the societies. But by 1910 the societies' disciplinary role in cases of cheating, hazing, and numerous other offenses had been assumed by the Student Council (established in 1904 as the University Council).
Throughout most of the university's history, membership in the societies was voluntary; and new members were admitted by a vote of the old members. Nevertheless, until the twentieth century, almost the entire student body belonged to one of the two societies. Generally though not exclusively, students from the eastern portion of the state joined the Philanthropic Society and those from the western portion joined the Dialectic Society. This practice may grown out of the early sectional rivalry between east and west.
The societies disbanded during Reconstruction, when the university was closed. But following the university's reopening in 1875, they reorganized and flourished. In 1885, a resolution of the Board of Trustees required all enrolled students ("except medical, law, and students taking postgraduate or special courses, and such as may be specially excused by the faculty") to belong to one of the societies. This action resulted from the urging of University President Kemp P. Battle and the faculty, who wanted to foster the societies' disciplinary function. By 1895, however, the university had dropped this membership requirement; the course catalog published in that year states that "although membership in the societies is entirely optional, yet it is earnestly recommended by the faculty."
In 1919, the Philanthropic Society reorganized itself according to the plan of the General Assembly of North Carolina and became the Philanthropic Assembly. In 1924, the Dialectic Society reorganized as the Dialectic Senate. Over the next several decades, more and more student groups emerged to vie for members; and by the mid-1950s, membership in both societies had declined to an alarming level. In 1959, in an effort to ensure continuation of the organizations, the Senate and the Assembly merged into the Dialectic and Philanthropic Joint Senate.

Yankees closer Chapman agrees to accept 30-game suspension
NEW YORK - New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman has agreed to accept a 30-game suspension under Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy, a penalty stemming from an incident with his girlfriend last October.
Under the discipline announced Tuesday, Chapman will serve the penalty from the start of the season in April. He will lose 30 days of pay and 30 days of major league service, which will allow him to become a free agent after this season.
Chapman says in a statement, "I did not in any way harm my girlfriend that evening." He adds that, "I should have exercised better judgment with respect to certain actions, and for that I am sorry."

Were you and your partner young when you got married and couldn't afford a big wedding where you arrived at the church in a horse drawn carriage and wore a white meringue dress? You may have grown up a bit since then and would prefer an elegant empire line dress and a sleek white limo and you may have saved up a bit of money too. So why not renew your wedding vows and have the fancy wedding with all the guests you couldn't invite to your first wedding.
Or are you coming up on a special wedding Anniversary and want to make it a memorable event for you, your partner and your whole family? Vow renewals can take place in any location with as many people present as you wish. They are also a great way to celebrate the fact that your family has just come through a tough time - maybe one of you has recovered from an illness or you have both been working hard to establish your careers.
Also, couples who elope often renew their wedding vows when they return to share the experience with their loved ones. While a wedding is about yourself and your partner, eloping to celebrate together and returning to renew our vows with your family is a great compromise.
Renewing your vows is a very romantic and meaningful way to show everyone and each other how in love you still are. A vow renewal can take place at any time after the original ceremony, as long as the time and event are significant to you, as you don't want to rehash your wedding unnecessarily and have it loose all meaning.
If your situation is similar to any of the ones above and you are thinking about renewing your wedding vows, check out the subsequent articles on this site for all the details.
We hope this article was useful. Please feel free to contact us if you have any enquiries.

Tina Schöltz, founder of Potchefstroom Academy, is nationally and internationally known for her expertise in the field of skincare, health therapy and various professions.
After obtaining a BA degree in 1970 and a teaching diploma in 1971, Tina began her teaching career. It was not long before she realized that there was a need for training in beauty and health therapies. After obtaining numerous national and international qualifications as well as an international training diploma in beauty therapy, she established Potchefstroom Academy and enrolled her first students in 1981.
As a master in entrepreneurship, which is proven by various awards, she is constantly investigating new ideas and leading new projects, resulting in the tremendous progression and expansion of the Academy. Therefore, the Academy is now offering courses in Photography and Interior design and decorating as well.
In 2003, she became the new director of the South African Academy for Hair and Skincare Technology (SAAHST). Students from SAAHST and Potchefstroom Academy benefit from an associative agreement between these two institutions, by having access to the shared facilities and expertise.
Tina's enthusiasm and driving force is inspiring and continually uplifts her staff and students to new heights.


Also consider how comfortable a particular hair extension is with your hair as every hair as its own unique need when it comes to hair extensions and it therefore need to examine various parts of the hair extension to make sure that its structure with fixed yours. Remy hair extensions the most advised as they can be easily compatible in structure with many people. It will cost you more to purchase Remy hair extensions but they will prove to be worth your money in the long run as compared to other forms of hair extensions which most of the time do not provide the quality as they were advertised in the market. A sure purchase be when you get 100% from human hair as this can guarantee you quality for long time.


A new report from Reuters claims that Apple has now shifted its engineering team behind these modems to the company's primary hardware technology group responsible for A-Series and S-Series chip development.
Modems are an indispensable part of phones and other mobile devices, connecting them to wireless data networks. Reuters further reported that Johny Srouji, Apples senior vice president of hardware technologies, took over the companys modem design efforts in January.
You may recall the reports in the media, including in these columns of a job advertisement that attracted attention some time back where Apple had called for designers of cellular modems. Apple had been using Qualcomm chips but dropped it completely from their iPhones that were released previous year. The project had previously been led by Rubén Caballero, who heads up Apple's wireless system design engineering group.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Srouji joined Apple in 2008 to lead chip design, including the custom A-series processors that power iPhones and iPads and a special Bluetooth chip that helps those devices pair with its AirPods wireless headphones and other Apple accessories. Apple's timeline for coming out with its own modem chip could put it behind the initial launch of 5G phones, though it's been widely expected that the 2019 iPhones would lack 5G connectivity.
"I believe that Apple is expanding their presence in San Diego to primarily bolster their wireless capabilities, especially their efforts to build their own modems".
Qualcomm's 5G modem will equip several Android smartphones this year, with rivals Samsung and Huawei manufacturing their own smartphone modems. Qualcomm provides this synergy for phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9, which uses both Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor and Snapdragon LTE modem. Late previous year, job listings indicated that Apple was looking to hire a lot of cellular modem systems architects, fueling rumors that Apple would start designing its own iPhone modems. That saves space and battery life, two important considerations if Apple introduces augmented reality features into future products.
The trade, between the Clippers and Sixers, involve six players and four draft picks. The Sixers are making a run to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals.

'79 Yamaha SR500 – Old Empire Motorcycles
By Andrew Jones on February 9, 2015
Hurricanes. Typhoons. Comets. Tempests. If you need any more evidence that the world's weather is going to hell in a carbon-based handbasket, look no further than poor old Blighty and her Old Empire Motorcycles. The Pipeburn Bike of the Year runners-up in 2014, they've been suffering the worst luck weather-wise since their inception. And to make matters worse the catastrophes look set tho continue with this, their Yamaha SR-based 'Lightning Mk. I'. Hang tight, boys. Hang tight and ride like the wind.
This bike mark's OEM's first attempt at a build this world-renowned thumper as the basis for a design that clearly intends to distinguish itself from the masses. Taking cues from its namesake, the English Electric Lightning, this cold war-inspired custom features a bespoke monoshock swingarm, a shortened front and a handmade tail unit that comes together quite well, yes?
"Built around a 1979 Yamaha SR500, our first thought was how to create something different, yet not too radical as budget was limited" says Rafe, OEM's chief pilot. "After looking at the framework underneath, we figured a monoshock would fit perfectly in the end of the top tube (a.k.a. 'the oil tank') so we went about building a subframe onto the original swing arm that'd be suitable to mount a custom Hagon monoshock based on a Kawasaki zxr400's rear."
The boys decided to drop the sharp end right down, machining the tube by inches and adding some new, stiffer springs with heavy oil. Then the yokes were machined down to mount the warning lights an the twin 48mm gauges were tucked neatly down in the handmade shroud above the headlight.
"Although the tank looks like it wasn't touched, it has been retunneled and moved to sit lower and further forward to keep the lines of the bike true. The original rear section was promptly cut off and replaced with a far nicer, flowing unit suitably braced with a second top tube that the rear of the tank now sits on. Custom LED rear lights housed in the tail section complete the look."
The running gear stayed stock, apart from the rear wheel being relaced by the boys to a 19'' rim and shod in Avon Roadrunner rubber. Ditto for the rubber up front. Mechanically the engine was judged to be fairly sound, but as a matter of course the 6 volt system was upgraded to a very modern 12 volts. Further visual refinement was added by way of blasting the engine, painting and blasting the casings, and vapour blasting the carb.
[superquote]"We outsourced the paint to a local gun; they completed the simple but effective paint job beautifully. We think it'd just enough to get your attention without being too in your face" says Rafe.[/superquote]
Other details include the custom, big-bore exhaust and end can, a modified intake manifold, a Recon charging and ignition system, Barleycorn Engineering clip-ons and rear-sets, and a handmade leather seat.
Brake lights are stacked, à la the jet plane that gave the bike it's name
"All in all we are really pleased with the outcome and we cannot wait to tackle the Mk. 2 so we can push the design even further. The Mk. I is also up for sale, please contact us for more information."

A distribution deal will make your album(s) available in retail stores, downloadable on sites such as iTunes, and/or online for purchase. The availability of your album in stores in various territories will highly depend upon your act's touring history and consistency of sales. The exclusivity of these deals varies, however, standard distribution agreements do not allow artists to sell their materials through any directly competing means.
Retail stores are becoming increasingly picky with the artists they choose to stock in their store inventory, as there is limited rack space and they want to ensure that it is utilized in the most efficient manner. Additionally, there is a trend occurring within retail stores wherein stocking of DVDs, and entertainment accessories is increasing, thereby further limiting shelf space allotted to music discs. (If you don't believe me, go check out your local HMV, it's actually becoming difficult to find music there!) Consequently, many major labels, such as KOCH (Canada's largest independent distributor) are focusing more on digital exposure, and only offering retail-cataloging services (albums are available for order, but are not likely to be displayed on shelves within stores) for their artists.
With a distro deal, no upfront money is offered to the artist. For that matter, your act may be required to take money out of its own pockets to pay for the re-pressing of your CDs with the distributor's logo and copyright information. Your distributing label will receive a substantial cut of the profits from all of your CD sales, likely including your off-stage sales (the CD you sell at shows), even if they had nothing to do with booking tour dates for your act. If your CD is recalled or returned, again you will owe your distributor money for the inconvenience you have caused them. So, be sure that your CD is going to sell.
Pros: Having a major distributor affiliated with your band may (but does not guarantee) assist with publicity and bookings. Having your music worldwide will assist your act in widening its fan-base.
Cons: In-store CD sales are at an all-time low, and cataloging does not ensure visibility. It is difficult to gauge the success of strictly digital sales, as results have not been consistent. While some artists are fairing quite favourably online, others are not. In addition, you will now be sharing your profits with your distributor providing your act with less money to spend on other areas that may need development.
Agreements with online independent digital aggregators are more flexible (usually non-exclusive) allowing artists to sign up with a variety of sites increasing chances of exposure and sales, as well, these agreements tend to be shorter in term, thus artists will likely not find themselves in a situation where they'll miss out on a better proposition because they are bound to a previous deal.

Q: Android Instant App Deep Link Error - Provide exactly one URL I am trying to create an instant app version of my game.
My main game has deep link (and/or app link, I really dont know the difference), and I want the instant app to have it also. By accessing http://mygame.mycompany.com/join?code=12345 , if the user has MyApp installed it will be launched and I will read the code parameter. This part is working fine. What I aim is for when the user doesnt have MyApp installed, I want the Instant App to be launched instead.
I followed all the docs I found but I keep getting the same error when I upload it to Google Play. I searched the error message on Google and found 0 hits, so that made me a bit nervous :)  I am contacting the Google Play support in the meantime, if I find a solution I will post here.
The error message is:

"You must provide exactly one default URL for your Instant App APKs."

Does anyone know what that means?
I can upload my main app just fine, no error messages. The Instant App is the one that gives me the error message. And the deeplink is working fine in the main app.

On the eve of Matt Klein's first Vermont 100-mile race in July 2014, he found himself in tears. He had come a long way since his darkest days nearly a decade earlier. In less than 12 hours, he would be toeing the line, alongside 300 fellow runners. He had worked hard for the opportunity to be there. Matt went on to finish his first Vermont 100 that weekend, and has come back every year since, achieving his 500-mile buckle in 2018.
Matt's mom was a school teacher and his father worked in a warehouse, "They grounded us and provided us with everything." He beamed with pride when speaking about his father, whom he calls his best friend. After high school, he was off to the University of Rhode Island where he was introduced to higher education, as well as the world of partying. After graduation, he moved to Manhattan where his struggle with addiction set in over the next decade. During this time he married his wife, Nicole, whom he had dated back in high school. He appeared to be living the perfect life. But inside, he was suffering, and wasn't sure how to ask for help.
In 2004, Matt's sister-in-law ran the New York City (NYC) Marathon, and he was impressed with her training leading up to the event. It was there that a seed was planted in his head. He made a pact with himself that day, "I told myself, if I sign up for the New York City Marathon, I would stop using drugs, including alcohol."

Four months later, Matt re-traced his sister-in-law's steps through the streets of New York and finished the marathon. "It was a life-altering event, and a culmination of 16 weeks of hard work." He vividly remembers the perfect fall weather that day, with golden sunlight bouncing off of everything. Two million spectators lined the streets, along with about two dozen of his friends and family, who cheered Matt on.
Training in the Watchung Reservation, a large nature reserve a couple miles from Matt's house in New Jersey, he could see all the inner paths leading to the woods and trails. For six years, he stayed on an outside loop. Even after all of his success, he still had doubts about venturing into the unknown. One day, his curiosity got the best of him and he veered into the woods, "Once I dropped into the trail system, I was blown away by the world that opened up to me." Soon after, he completed his first 100-mile race, the Beast of Burden in New York.
Matt is truly inspiring, accomplished and humble…a class act.
Matt is truly inspirational. It's always about others! So much respect and love for him.
Proud to call him a friend and honored to be part of his crew.

Alexander, Corker Congratulate Hargett on National Guard Association Post, Commend His Extraordinary Service to Tennessee
U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker made the following statements today following Governor Phil Bredesen's announcement that Major General Gus L. Hargett, Jr., will retire December 31, 2009, as Tennessee's Adjutant General to become president of the National Guard Association of the United States on January 1, 2010. "Gus Hargett personifies the volunteer spirit and has been a professional, effective, and strong leader for the Guard's men and women who have been called to serve our country in unprecedented numbers," Alexander said. "He is a superb choice as the next president of the National Guard Association of the United States." "This is a tremendous honor for General Hargett, and while I hate to see him leave Tennessee, I know he will be an invaluable asset to the National Guard Association and a tireless and effective advocate for the men and women of our Army and Air National Guard," Corker said. "I thank General Hargett for his outstanding service and dedication to the Tennessee National Guard and know that he will carry that same strong leadership to the national level."

UAW Scandal
UAW to disband corruption-marred Region 5
{{ source.title }}
{{ abstract }}

{{/main_image_url}}
DETROIT — The UAW is eliminating its largest geographical region as part of its cleanup from the fallout of a federal investigation that exposed a lengthy pattern of corruption within the region's past leadership.
Region 5, which covers 17 states in the western and southwestern U.S., will be merged into the adjacent regions 4 and 8 early next year, the union said Friday.
Region 5's most recent director, Vance Pearson, resigned last month after being charged with money laundering and embezzling union funds. His predecessor was Gary Jones, who resigned last month as president of the union after being implicated in the corruption scandal, though he has not been charged with any crimes.
The union's constitution allows for the International Executive Board to combine regions when a vacancy emerges on the board, as was the case when Pearson resigned. The move will leave the UAW with eight regions, down from as many as 18 when its membership was much larger.
"Today's action was taken in the interest of maintaining continuity in representing and servicing our members," Rory Gamble, whom the board elected Thursday to finish Jones' term, said in a statement. "Both Regions 4 and 8 have been prudently managed, cover wide geographic territories and have proven experience effectively representing UAW members."
Gamble said the consolidations will have no effect on regional staffing, international union programming or the operation of local unions. The change, first reported by The Detroit News, will take effect Feb. 28.
As Region 5 director from 2014 through 2018, Jones misappropriated UAW funds to pay for lavish meals, expensive liquor, cigars and lengthy stays at private villas for himself and other union officials, the UAW board said last month as it sought to remove him from office. Jones disguised the expenses as being related to an annual leadership conference in Palm Springs, Calif., and also allowed his daughter to stay in a villa for free after one of the conferences, the board said.
FBI agents raided Pearson's home as well as the Region 5 office near St. Louis in August. The homes of Jones and former President Dennis Williams also were raided.
Aside from the corruption allegations, Region 5 has been weakened by the shutdowns of many of the assembly plants within its boundaries. Among those closed since 2005: General Motors plants in Oklahoma City, Shreveport, La., and Fremont, Calif.; a Ford Motor Co. plant in Hazelwood, Mo.; and two Chrysler plants in Fenton, Mo.
UAW Scandal timeline and key figures: In charges filed since July 2017, federal prosecutors have revealed that millions of dollars intended to train workers was instead spent by some UAW leaders on assorted luxuries. The charges have exposed fraud within the massive U.S. auto manufacturing union. Will this scandal spread? Here is a timeline and our list of key players.

Language of repression
August 2 is the International Day of Remembrance of the Romani Holocaust. On the night of August 2-3, 1944 2897 prisoners Zigeunerlager ("Gypsy Camp") in Auschwitz were killed in gas chambers. Prior to that, on May 16, 1944, an earlier attempt to "liquidate" gypsies was met with fierce resistance, and this became another memorable date – the Day of the Roma resistance. These dates only very recently became part of the official calendar of the world, but they are almost never celebrated in Russia, and in general the topic of Roma people in the Second World War is explored by history enthusiasts only in our country.
As for the name of Romani people and the history of racially motivated extermination of Romani by the Nazis there continues to be some terminological controversy. In Russian it is still appropriate to call Romani people "Gypsies" (tsygane) while in other countries it is no longer acceptable, as the term "Gypsies" is considered derogatory and was replaced by "Roma" (self-designation, with emphasis as in the Roma language on "a", although not all the translators know this) . In the OSCE documents translated into Russian an ambiguous term "Roma and Sinti" was adopted (Sinti being one of the subgroups of the inhomogeneous Romani ethnic group), while in the Council of Europe this is being translated into Russian as "Roma gypsies" and the UN prefers to translate the term as "Roma" or "Roma ethnic group". In languages, which have cases for nouns, the name "Roma" is usually fully adapted and inclined (as, for example, is the case in Ukrainian), and corresponding adjectives are used, as well as nouns for male and female Romani persons ("Rom" and "Romka" or "Romni"). But in Russian language these words still look rather unusual, although they are beginning to appear in different publications. However, some Roma people in Russia object to the use of the word "Roma" and their derivatives, insisting that they call themselves "Gypsies" (tsygane).
Regarding the term "Romani Holocaust" there is also a continuing debate as not all Romani people and researchers of this topic accept the proposed Romani terms, which were rather artificially created by historians and linguists, such as samudaripen (literally "murder of all"), poraimos / porraimos ("violence", probably the most unacceptable term) and pharraimos ("splitting" or "separation"). In living Romani dialects these words are not used, but there is also no corresponding term for the "Romani Holocaust".
Destruction of the Romani people by the Nazis has been studied to a much lesser extent than the catastrophe of the Jewish people and this topic is still underrepresented in the public debate. There are many reasons for this, including the objective difficulties of study (the number of Romani people killed by the Nazis is still not precisely known, according to some estimates – up to half a million people, or even as much as 700,000 people) and a rather long absence of educated professionals among Romani people themselves, who had the opportunity and understood the importance of preserving and documenting people's memory of the war period. But the main reason for this, of course, is discrimination and marginalization of the Romani people, who for a long time could not establish themselves on the international level.
It is only in recent times that the problem of Romani integration has become part of the international and European agenda, as active Romani associations came into existence, international campaigns such as the Decade of Roma Inclusion have been declared, and the study of the Romani Holocaust has become more systematic. In 2015, the European Parliament proposed to officially mark August 2 as the day of Romani Holocaust, and in many countries commemorative events are being held involving not only Romani people and activists, but also representatives of government bodies and political parties. Official documents of the OSCE and the Council of Europe prescribe to include the study of history of extermination of Romani people by the Nazis into educational programs. This, obviously, applies to Russia as a member of these international institutions.
It should be said that all this didn't happen by itself: Romani people had to fight even for the recognition of racial motivation behind the extermination of their ethnic group by the Nazis. It would seem that after the publication of the truthful reports about the Nazi concentration camps and mass murders as part of Nazi anti-Romani policy, such policies should become a thing of the past (however, prejudice and daily anti-Roma sentiments is a more difficult thing to get rid of). One could assume that the situation of Romani people after the war was to change dramatically for the better, but this, alas, did not happen. Romani remain not only a discriminated ethnic group, but until recently the crimes committed against them were rather reminiscent of the "dark past" (such as the forced sterilization of women in the Czech Republic and some other countries).
Authorities used to talk to Romani communities using the language of repression, even if they publicly stated that they were acting for the good. We can recall, for example, the "laws on sedentism" in the socialist countries (adopted on the example of the Soviet Union's "Decree on sedentism", 1956), which provided criminal penalties for continuing nomadic lifestyle. One of the witnesses of the implementation of this decree recalled that Roma people were forcibly moved out with their families from Leningrad to Novgorod region and, as they were put onto trucks without any explanations, they were saying goodbye to each other for ever, as they feared that they could be later shot.
While working for the defense of Roma rights in Russia, we met with hundreds of people and it was not just once that Roma people described the attitude towards them from the police or the authorities by saying "as it was under the Nazis…" Such comparisons are not at all out of place when one recalls special operations with names like "Tabor" (Roma settlement) or "Gypsies", which took place across the country. Roma people were indiscriminately arrested, photographed and fingerprinted (as was the case in Smolensk in 2010, in Bryansk in 2012 and earlier in many other regions of Russia). We were also given descriptions of the excesses by the police (for example, in Ryazan in 2011, police officers extorted money from arbitrarily detained Roma women, beat them up, cut off their hair, videotaping the process, because they were well aware that for Roma people hair cutting is a terrible shame).
The memories of persecution of the Roma by the Nazis also come to mind of elderly people during the forced evictions of residents of Roma settlements. One of such "deportations" was sanctioned back in 2001 by Krasnodar Governor Alexander Tkachev: more than a hundred Roma people were loaded into buses at gunpoint and taken away from Krasnodar to Voronezh region. During the years of our human rights work we have seen how many governors and heads of local administrations dreamed that Roma people would be gone somewhere outside of their regions (and some, like the then mayor of Arkhangelsk Mr. Donskoy, even succeeded in achieving this). So it is appropriate to remember how Zigeunerlager in Auschwitz once became Zigeunerfrei, "free from gypsies"…
Historians often regret that Roma people have "short historical memory", that they do not preserve the history of their own people and that this has led, among other things, to very fragmented information on the Romani Holocaust. But I can testify that the historical memory of the Nazi persecution of Roma people is alive. A few years ago I witnessed instant mobilization of Roma in Pskov, as soon as there circulated a rumor that their settlement was about to be attacked by a gang of skinheads. The rumor was not confirmed later, but the Roma people armed themselves with whatever means they could, as the children and elderly people were hiding in basements, describing it with the words "as it was during the war"… Teachers working in schools where there are Roma children are often surprised by the sharp, exaggerated reaction of Roma people during some trivial daily conflicts: groups of Roma parents immediately arrive to "sort things out" and Roma children are withdrawn from schools en masse as the slightest danger arises. But we should wonder not at this, but at the fact that more than 70 years after the war had finished, Roma people still feel the hostility towards them and have to be always on the alert, at any moment ready to face an attack…
Both the researchers of the Romani Holocaust and Romani activists believe it is important to point out that Romani people were not only the victims of the Nazis, but also resisted them actively by taking part in the partisan movement, fighting in active army units and even making an uprising in Auschwitz, which lead to partial disbanding of Zigeunerlager (some of the prisoners were then transferred to other concentration camps and the remaining prisoners were being starved).
During a recent so-called "Roma riot" in Plekhanov (Tula region), Russia's largest compact settlement Kelderari Roma, TV crews and photojournalists filmed women with sticks confronting heavily armed and well-equipped riot police, as well as confused children watching bulldozers demolishing their homes. It is commonplace to say that history has a lot to learn from, that "without the knowledge of the past there is no future" or that the knowledge of historical truth should warn us against repeating terrible mistakes. Yet, remembering on August 2 "elimination" of the Romani camp at Auschwitz, looking at the photos of children – victims of heinous experiments of "racial biologists", reading the testimonies of survivors, it is necessary to remind once again where it all started: with the announcement of an entire ethnic group "antisocial" and "criminal", with raids and evictions, with aggressive prejudice and ignorance, which, unfortunately, still survives among us.

Northern Arizona Orthopedics Sued by EEOC for Gender Discrimination and Retaliation
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
Medical Provider Refused to Hire Men and Retaliated Against an Applicant for Complaining, Federal Agency Charges
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- Northern Arizona Orthopedics (NAO), a medical provider that specializes in bone, joint and spine care in Flagstaff, Ariz., violated federal law by refusing to hire male applicants because of their gender and retaliated against a male applicant who complained about the sex discrimination, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed yesterday.
According to the EEOC's lawsuit, NAO hired women over more qualified male candidates for at least two positions. The EEOC's lawsuit also charged that NAO retaliated against a male applicant that opposed the alleged discrimination when it responded to his complaint by telling him not to apply for other positions at NAO.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits gender discrimination and retaliation for complaining about it.
The EEOC filed suit, EEOC vs. Northern Arizona Orthopedics Limited, Civil Action No. 3:19-cv-08259-DWL in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona after first attempting to reach a settlement through its pre-litigation conciliation process. The lawsuit seeks back pay, compensatory damages and punitive damages for qualified male applicants as well as appropriate injunctive relief to prevent future discrimination.
"Unfortunately, some employers still make assumptions about which applicants will 'fit' the workplace based on their gender," said EEOC Phoenix District Office Regional Attorney Mary Jo O'Neill. "Title VII prohibits all forms of gender discrimination, and employers must remember to make hiring decisions on qualifications - not assumptions based on gender or other irrelevant demographic characteristics."
Elizabeth Cadle, district director of EEOC's Phoenix District Office, added, "Employees who oppose discrimination should be honored, not punished, for their courage. The EEOC will continue working to protect those brave employees and applicants that stand up to discrimination."
The EEOC's Phoenix District Office has jurisdiction for Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and part of New Mexico (including Albuquerque).
The EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. More information is available at www.eeoc.gov.
