Ailton Alves Lacerda Krenak OMC, mais conhecido como Ailton Krenak (Mantena, 29 de setembro de 1953), é um líder indígena, ambientalista, filósofo, poeta e escritor brasileiro da etnia indígena crenaque. Ailton é também professor Honoris Causa pela Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) e é considerado uma das maiores lideranças do movimento indígena brasileiro, possuindo reconhecimento internacional.

Biografia
Nasceu em 1953 no município de Itabirinha, no estado de Minas Gerais, na região do Médio Rio Doce. Aos dezessete anos de idade, mudou-se com sua família para o estado do Paraná, onde se alfabetizou e se tornou produtor gráfico e jornalista. Na década de 1980, passou a dedicar-se exclusivamente ao movimento indígena. Em 1985, fundou a organização não governamental Núcleo de Cultura Indígena, que visa a promover a cultura indígena. Teve emenda popular assegurando sua participação no Congresso Nacional do Brasil para o processo constituinte em 1986.

Percurso
Ailton participou da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte que elaborou a Constituição Brasileira de 1988, na qual protagonizou uma das cenas mais marcantes da mesma: em discurso na tribuna, pintou o rosto com a tinta preta do jenipapo, segundo o tradicional costume indígena brasileiro, para protestar contra o que considerava um retrocesso na luta pelos direitos dos povos indígenas brasileiros.

Em 1988, participou da fundação da União dos Povos Indígenas, organização que visa a representar os interesses indígenas dentro do cenário nacional. No ano seguinte, participou da Aliança dos Povos da Floresta, movimento que visava ao estabelecimento de reservas naturais na Amazônia onde fosse possível a subsistência econômica através da extração do látex da seringueira, bem como da coleta de outros produtos da floresta. Retornou a Minas Gerais, onde passou a se dedicar ao Núcleo de Cultura Indígena. Desde 1998, a organização realiza, na região da Serra do Cipó, em Minas Gerais, um festival idealizado por Ailton: o Festival de Dança e Cultura Indígena, que visa a promover a integração entre as diferentes etnias indígenas brasileiras. Em 1999, sua obra O Eterno Retorno do Encontro foi publicado no livro A Outra Margem do Ocidente, organizado por Adauto Novaes.

Nos anos de 2007 e 2008 Ailton concedeu entrevista para o Museu da Pessoa, quando compartilhou em detalhes memórias sobre a sua infância junto aos seus parentes e sobre as sucessivas migrações que passaram com o processo de invasão e ocupação do território por eles habitado, por empreendedores, madeireiras, serrarias, colonos, criadores de gado, entre outros. Na entrevista disse que no período da infância naquela terra "a gente estava tão pleno de vida, que tudo quanto injeção que a gente pegou da vida ali, potencializou pra gente viver em qualquer lugar do mundo".

No ano de 2014, Ailton foi um dos palestrantes do seminário internacional intitulado Os Mil Nomes de Gaia, ocorrido no Rio de Janeiro sob organização de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, antropólogo do Museu Nacional, e Deborah Danowski, filósofa da PUC-Rio. Em abril de 2015, durante a Mobilização Nacional Indígena, convocada pela Articulação dos Povos Indígenas do Brasil – Apib, foi lançado um livro da coleção Encontros, da Azougue Editorial, com seu nome que reúne diversas entrevistas concedidas por Ailton Krenak, entre 1984 e 2013. Os textos foram organizados pelo editor Sérgio Cohn e contam com apresentação do antropólogo Eduardo Viveiros de Castro.

No dia 18 de fevereiro de 2016, a Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF) concedeu, a Krenak, o título de Professor Doutor Honoris Causa, um reconhecimento pela sua importância na luta pelos direitos dos povos indígenas e pelas causas ambientais no país. Nesta mesma universidade, Krenak leciona as disciplinas "Cultura e História dos Povos Indígenas" e "Artes e Ofícios dos Saberes Tradicionais", ambos em cursos de especialização.

Em novembro de 2016, o Instituto Socioambiental (ISA) publicou em sua página oficial na web uma entrevista realizada em setembro do mesmo ano, com Ailton Krenak sobre os impactos no território Krenak ocasionados pela rompimento da barragem do Fundão, da mineradora Samarco/BHP Billiton, da Vale em Bento Rodrigues, distrito de Mariana (MG), o maior crime socioambiental já registrado no Brasil, ocorrido em novembro de 2015. Na entrevista, Krenak defende que o ocorrido é melhor entendido não como um acidente, mas, sim, um incidente. Em sua palavra: "Não foi um acidente. Quando eu ouço perguntarem sobre 'o acidente' de Mariana, eu reajo dizendo que não foi um acidente. Foi um incidente, no sentido da omissão e da negligência do sistema de licenciamento, supervisão, controle, renovação das licenças, autorização de exploração". Muitos indígenas foram afetados pelo desastre, uma vez que o Rio Doce é utilizado para pesca por indígenas e o leste mineiro, por onde corre o Rio Doce, abriga tribos indígenas.

Sobre o modo capitalista de exploração dos recursos naturais, em especial, do rio Doce, tomando o caso em Mariana como discussão, Ailton Krenak expõe que tem dificuldade de falar sem se indignar. De acordo com ele, ainda em fala concedida ao ISA, em 2016: "Watu, que é como nós chamamos aquele rio, é uma entidade; tem personalidade. Ele não é um 'recurso' [...] O rio está em coma. De certa maneira, essa prontidão que as pessoas estão vivendo na margem do rio agora deixa elas no mesmo estado simbólico de coma em que o corpo do rio está. Eu vejo isso como uma coisa tão assustadora, que tenho dificuldade de falar no Watu sem me revoltar". A entrevista completa realizada com Krenak faz parte do livro Povos Indígenas no Brasil 2011-2015, publicado pelo ISA. Nele, Krenak fala sobre a luta pelo reconhecimento de terras indígenas em Minas Gerais, a política dos "brancos" para o Brasil, e ataques aos direitos dos índios.

Foi assessor especial do Governo de Minas Gerais para assuntos indígenas de 2003 a 2010. Atualmente se encontra na Serra do Cipó (MG), onde está envolvido na ONG Núcleo de Cultura Indígena. Realiza trabalhos na linha da temática indígena, aborda questões sobre a relação do índio com o meio ambiente, bem como com sua cultura local, lutando contra a sua discriminação pela sociedade. Realiza um trabalho sobre a sistematização dos primeiros contatos dos indígenas com os europeus e sua relação com a contemporaneidade, sendo um balanço entre passado e presente. Nessa lógica, o balanço se dá pelo fato, de que nos dias atuais, há expedições desconhecidas que ocupam determinados locais habitados por índios, sem se preocupar com o próximo.

Ailton Krenak participou de uma série na Netflix chamada Guerras do Brasil produzida em 2018, que relata com detalhes a formação do Brasil ao longo de séculos de conflito armado, começando com os primeiros conquistadores até a violência na atualidade.

Em 2000 protagonizou o documentário Índios no Brasil produzido pela TV Escola que, dividido em dez partes, aborda a identidade, línguas, costumes, tradições, a colonização e o contato com o branco, a briga pela terra, a integração com a natureza e os direitos conquistados dos indígenas até fins do século XX. Sendo o narrador principal, Ailton Krenak dialoga constantemente com o interlocutor no decorrer do documentário.

Em 2021, lançou o livro Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo, uma das obras mais vendidas das livrarias brasileiras, com versões lançadas em inglês, francês e alemão.

Em 2023, se tornou imortal da Academia Mineira de Letras, sendo o primeiro indígena na instituição, ocupando a cadeira 24.

EVS techs help create training
Researchers say front-line staff participation in training development helped produce sustained improvements
Jamie Morgan
Results of a study in which front-line environmental services (EVS) technicians participated in a five-module education program showed improvement in cleaning of high-touch surfaces, according to researchers.
The authors of the study, "Sustained improvement in hospital cleaning associated with a novel education and culture change program for environmental services workers (ESW)," published in the Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology journal, say the training program also resulted in decreases of hospital-associated Clostridium difficile and MRSA.
However, the true gem of the study, the researchers explain, is that the improvements were sustained even a year after the training was implemented. Pass rates for cleaning of high-touch surfaces increased from 26% to 62% after three months, and to 68% after one year. Standardized infection ratios of C. diff decreased 11%, while a 23% decrease in MRSA bloodstream infections was observed.
"Educational programs and similar interventions have been associated with initial improvements in cleaning by environmental services workers," the authors write. "But these improvements have often not been sustained."
More than 300 EVS technicians across five New York City hospitals in the same system participated in the educational program "Cleaner is Safer — ESW on the Frontline of Infection Prevention." The learning methods included: an audience response system, videos, demonstrations, role playing and graphics.
The topics focused on universal infection prevention measures but also covered concerns specifically requested by the hospitals' technicians, such as knowledge of appropriate cleaning products, hand-hygiene procedures and understanding pathogen transmission in hospitals. The program also gave strategies to overcome challenges and barriers commonly encountered by technicians, such as visitor crowding in hospital rooms and patient refusal of room cleaning.
The five modules were presented at each hospital between July 2016 and March 2017. Modules were delivered in person over 30 to 35 minutes. Each module was presented to each shift at each hospital during existing departmental meetings four to eight weeks apart to minimize workflow disturbances.
Two refresher courses were provided during September 2017 to March 2018 to support ongoing relationships, knowledge gain and behavior change. Participant feedback was solicited throughout sessions to adjust content and clarity of subsequent modules.
Researchers say the learners' involvement in developing the program may have been key to its sustained results.
"Overall, the results of this study are encouraging, and suggest that an education and culture change intervention designed specifically for front-line environmental services workers that addressed locally identified knowledge, attitude, practice gaps and common barriers to implementation of best practices was well received by participants, resulted in increased knowledge, and was associated with improved daily cleaning of occupied patient rooms," the authors write.

All students have now been emailed a list of their elective subjects for 2019 in preparation for the beginning of our Step Up program, which begins on Tuesday 20 November. This involves all students from Years 7-11 moving into their 2019 classes. The aim of the program is to give students a head start on their 2018 classes, to learn their timetable, and to meet their teachers. This program means that the end of year period is utilised for worthwhile learning activities, and the beginning of next year is smooth.
Student timetables will be uploaded to Schoolbox on Friday 16 November. Normal classes are suspended for this day to allow for the College awards morning as well as providing an opportunity for homeroom, year level, and house assemblies, so that students can farewell their current homeroom teacher and, for some students, their campus, before moving into the 2019 timetable.
And a reminder that Monday 19 November is a student-free day to enable teachers to finalise 2018 and prepare for Step Up classes.
Before and during Step Up, students will have an opportunity to request subject changes. Not all subject changes will be possible due to classes being full or clashes between other subjects. Applications must be made with the appropriate form which has been emailed to all students and is available from the relevant campus assistant, and must include a parent/guardian signature. VCE students must also consult a careers advisor before submitting their application. The deadline for applications is Friday 23 November. Please be aware that no further changes can be made after this date until the end of Semester One, 2019.
Because students will not have their textbooks or book-listed resources before Step Up, staff will be working on the premise that students will bring their device and basic stationery to classes. Paper copies of the 2019 book lists have been distributed to students in Years 7-9 and will be distributed to Year 10 and 11 students after exams. Digital versions of the book lists are located on the College website on each Campus page. Click the links below to view.

Apple's 'iPhone 12' & New iPads Rumored To Debut In October!
By Zac Jul 30, 2020
Almost every September, Apple launches a new series of the iPhone.
But, according to the 'Apple Insider' there will be NO September iPhone release this year! Apparently the iPhone 12 and even new iPads are expected to release in October.
The rumors around the internet is there will be a 10.8inch iPad Air and a newly refreshed iPad mini coming to the market!
The long awaited launch of a 5G capable iPhone has also been rumored for October!
**long stretch of a conspiracy theory here -- do you think Apple moved the launch date of their new products from September to October, because they're waiting for the government to pass another stimulus check -- which would afford more customers the funds to purchase the new products**

Read Bull finally beaten – by girls in bikinis
The Red Bull team has finally been handed a defeat this year and they might even start to understand the pain they've been inflicting on the poor Samurai from Oviedo as it was the fourth defeat in a row. Nominated for the "Austrian sports team of the year" award for the fourth time on the trot they also lost out the fourth time. This year Stefanie and Doris Schwaiger, beach volleyball players, won the title and the Milton Keynes outfit only came third.
Not shaving for a good cause is something of a tradition in English speaking countries. Team McLaren will participate in this charity action as they've done in years past. "You shave in October and then let it grow a whole month," explains Jenson Button, who was seen with a somewhat ridiculous looking 'stache last year.
Not only on the track, but also in cyberspace the team is sending their Gilettes on a month of hiatus. I have seen my 'Tooned' character. He's got an enormous mustache," Jenson explains with a laugh. "I've got no idea if I can manage that in only a month, but I'll do my very best."
Sergio Perez will participate for the first time this year. After seeing his digital counterpart in 'Tooned' he approved: He looked very Mexican.
TJ13 is represented in the furry endeavour by the Fat Hippo, who's had a bit of a head start on the McLaren boys…
Fat Hippo detained for 'being furry in public'
Webber 'close' to a switch to Ferrari
Just 3 more race weekends left in F1 for Mark Webber before he heads off to Porsche and a return to sports car racing. I suspect we will be hearing more and more anecdotes from Mark Webber in the coming days and today he reveals the truth over the 'Webber to Ferrari' rumours last year.
Most successful F1 drivers appear to feel a stint at Ferrari before they end their career is mandatory and Mark Webber had his chance. When asked how close he came to joining the team from Maranello, he replied, "Very close."
It was so close that when Webber called Mateschitz to discuss the matter, Didi begged him to stay for one more year. Webber reveals though that, "we couldn't get a final agreement with Ferrari or I would now be sitting in Felipe Massa's car. I had set myself a deadline by when I would know what was going on. On the Thursday before the Canada GP 2012, I made the decision – to stay another year with Red Bull Racing."
This decision was announced during the Silverstone weekend.
What is it with Ferrari and Australian drivers? We all know about their national criminal ancestry, yet this surely isn't the reason for Maranello's reluctance to get at least 1 blower of the didgeridoo into a red car.
It could be the way Ferrari does business. No 'no nonsense 'aussies presumably can't be bothered with their politiking. Ferrari regularly negotiate pre-contract contracts – which are worth jack – as Alan Jones testifies.
In 1978 Ferrari claimed they wanted Mario Andretti as they thought an American F1 driver would be good for road car sales in the USA. He signed with Lotus so Ferrari aoffered Alan Jones the drive.
Contracts were exchanged but when Jones arrived in Maranello pre-season, he was taken aside and told quietly that Enzo had decided to recruit Gilles Villeneuve instead. Jones then called Frank Williams who snapped up his services and a couple of years later he led the rebuilt Williams team to a championship in 1980.
Urban legend has it Jones resented the way Ferrari had treated him and refused to ever get behind the wheel of a Ferrari sports car. Further, in 1982, Ferrari driver Pironi had a prang, which put him out of the Italian GP at Monza. Jones was called and MAranello wanted to offer him the drive. Alan refused to even take the call and the team recruited Mario Andretti as a stand in replacement instead.
Ferrari's dithering may have been costly. Getting Webber on board for 2013 would have given Maranello an insight into few of Red Bull and Newey's trade secrets.
Kimi rocks up
Come Friday and FP1 and the Iceman who traded fiery verbals with trackside operations director , Alan Permane, was in his Lotus and ready to run. Gerard Lopez plays down the whole matter, "Of course, recently a lot was made about the comments between Alan Permane and Kimi during the course of a tense moment in a race, but this was just one exchange taking a matter of seconds in the course of a two-year relationship. It certainly wasn't the most beneficial few seconds, but you have to step back and accept that everyone is passionate about racing and sometimes these things do happen".
At least Kimi's best time in FP1, some 0.7s slower than TJ13's daring Romain Grosjean, won't be attributed to his lack of focus following the dispute with Permane, as we are getting used to the iceman being consistently and sounbdly beaten over 1 lap by his understudy from France.
On the matter of the Lotus inward investment, Lopez infers the deal is not a dead duck as most believe. "We have preliminary agreements with the company we want to partner with, and we're just waiting for this to be concluded. Deals like this do not move at the speed we're used to in Formula One and we're hopeful that we'll conclude it in the near future,"
Come on Gerard. 5 months??? And if this is the case, then Lopez should have kept his mouth shut back in June instead of claiming a deal was done….that cleaqrly was not done at all – and still isn't.
Ferrari on the cards again for the Hulk
It looks as though one of the most talked about drivers in F1 may be heading for yet another year on the bench. Stories which have Hulkenberg moving to Lotus, McLaren, Williams, Force India – and even to stay at Sauber – have been doing the rounds for weeks.
Yet with Lotus' inward investment deal practically dead and Maldonado doing the rounds claiming to have in his knapsack the keys to an oil refinery – the chance of the Hulk ending up in Enstone is slim.
Sauber have young Sirotkin and the prospect of Vitaly Petrov arriving with an Oligarch's petty cash tin containing 30m euros.
McLaren are silent at present as they negotiate the next 5-6 years title sponsor relationship, but Perez brings in plenty of mula from Central America.
It could be Nico's best bet is to return to one of his former teams – Williams or Force India
Yet today its emerging that Ferrari have offered Nico a role as reserve driver. Having been close to a full driver contract for 2014 with Maranello – only to receive a text telling him they were recruiting Kimi instead – who knows how Hulkenberg will react, yet Maranello are clearly nervous over Alonso's intentions for 2014.
It would be humiliating beyond measure were Ferrari to be left at the last minute with just 1 driver for 2014 and to avoid having egg on their collective face this offer to Nico makes perfect sense.
Another new helmet
The penchant for changing helmets is getting ridiculous these days. Here's another one for Lewis.

Man of the moment, Romain Grosjean, stole a march on the field and was quickest in the opening practice session in Abu Dhabi, with the 2 RB9's behind Lewis Hamilton who was 2nd. The track failed to evolve and most drivers spent the session struggling to find grip.
The lack of grip squeezed up the pack, which saw the top 10 runners covered by just over a second.
The 2 Ferrari's looked woeful with Alonso only 12th and Massa down in 17th and with the pace Mercedes is showing its probable the Brackley based team will consolidate their 4 point lead over Ferrari this weekend.
There was a moment of excitement in the Red Bull pit box when an unusual misjudgement from Vettel required the crew to take urgent avoiding action to avoid being trampled by a rampant RB9.
Yet if anyone believed Sebastian was just taking it easy having clinched his 4th WDC last weekend, they were mistaken, The Bulls roared back in the second session to head the field once again.

Kimi Raikkonen was reported to have a nose bleed as he scaled the dizzy heights of 4th fastest in the session, whilst his team mate failed to complete his qualifying simulation as brake parts began to go missing from his car. Kimi has reverted to the short wheel based E21 this weekend in an attempt to improve his recent form.
The Ferrari's improved with Alonso 8th and Massa completing the top 10, yet the time differential to Vettel will hardly be conducive to the Maranello personnel getting a good nights sleep. The car's lack of traction was exposed and Fernando commented, "We are eighth and 10th, but do not have much room for improvement."
Jenson Button's McLaren was quickest through the speed trap and he was a whisker slower than his team mate in Perez over 1 lap. The team appear to be running low down force set-ups to take advantage of the long straights and DRS on Sunday.
Perez commented, "This was a productive day for the whole team – I felt really comfortable with the car in both sessions, and really enjoyed my time on the track today. I feel happy with my car, and I don't expect to change too much. Normally, we change quite a lot on the car between Friday and Saturday in order to refine the balance and set-up, but I don't think we'll be doing too much of that tonight.
The Option tyre is performing quite a lot better than it was in India. While I think we feel more comfortable with the softer tyre, it'll still be difficult to make a one-stop strategy work on Sunday. Tomorrow, I'd like to see us get into Q3."
Nenson was positively bullish over the cars ability to 'switch' on the tyres. "I also think both tyres are working reasonably well around here. I got my fastest lap on my first attempt on the Option tyre, which most people didn't, so I'm quite happy about that".
Di Resta who had been 7th fastest in the morning suffered a tyre failure and Pirelli's Paul Hembery said initial indications were that it was caused by a brake problem. Adrian Sutil confirms this was a problem for him too. "It's hard to say too much about today because we had to change the brake material in the middle of the second session.
That had quite a big impact on the car and it was difficult to make a comparison with the set-up changes. There is quite a big difference between the two tyre compounds and at the moment I'm struggling more with the medium tyres. The general balance of the car felt okay so I'm still positive we can be in good shape tomorrow."
Sebastian Vettel reported a funny smell in his cockpit over the radio – some wag suggested they look for the dead fish Webber placed there back in India. When questioned over the comment, Vettel confessed to reporters, "I didn't fart".
FOM TV get with the times
Formula One which is supposed to represent the pinnacle of motorsport innovation has FINALLY decided to fit a moving camera to a car – something Indy Car has been doing for years.
Today Fernando Alonso was trialling the 180 degree camera during FP1 in Abu Dhabi.
Having said that we had helmet cam introduced and after just a few races it quietly disappeared.
Strong words from Kimi
A certain well known media individual appears to have missed the reason for Kimi's late arrival in Abu Dhabi. Speaking in the past 15 minutes, Raikkonen tells the assembled press scrum "I almost didn't come here and the rest of the races" and explains it was to do with far more than just a radio message.
"It's a small part of it and those things shouldn't happen, but unfortunately those things happened, but that's not really the issue. It's the other stuff and all the things together in the end. It's easy to say that's the reason, but it's not that".
"Everybody has their own view and own ideas of everything and sometimes it's not very nice when you hear that you don't have the interest of the team. Then you've been paid zero Euro the whole year so it kind of doesn't put you in the best place. But that's the way it goes and hopefully we've found an understanding on both sides as to how we should deal with the situation right now and fix the issues."
Raikkonen arrived late in Abu Dhabi only after reaching an agreement with the team over finances. Further, he is reserving his right to withdraw his services for the final two rounds in Austin and Brasil should the team not keep their end of the bargain.

Well, let's be honest, RBR are hardly an Austrian team. Having the big boss and his money being Austrian doesn't really make the rest of the team Austrian, despite all the registration admin stuff.
It seems that Hamilton clarified his 'greatest' comments about Vettel in his BBC column. He was merely referring to the impressive numbers Vettel has amassed these last few years.
"To have had so much success so young, he is well on his way to being seen as the greatest ever driver, in the sense that he could conceivably match Michael Schumacher's amazing records of seven world titles and 91 victories. But the greatness of a Formula 1 driver is a more nuanced thing than just his raw statistics."

I just saw Eddie Irvine in interview saying that in his day the three big talents were Senna, Schumacher, and Newey. Senna and Schumacher for being the drivers most capable of winning races and championships in inferior machinery, and Newey for being the design genius that he remains to this day. So you were either Senna or Schumacher, or you won in a Newey-designed car. And "so what" if you won in a Newey car, as they were so head-and-shoulders above the rest that, effectively, the championship was yours to lose. And I think that is a large part of the reason that I, for one, still have a few question marks regarding Vettel's racing credentials, notwithstanding his abundant display of many of the other qualities required of a multiple World Champion, especially the ability to make the most of a golden opportunity. He must also, privately, wonder how much more difficult it will be for him to add to his stats when he eventually moves to a non-Newey car. As if by way of confirmation, just as I was finishing typing this I heard Mika Hakkinen in another interview saying "…and then Newey arrived, and the good times [ i.e. results ] started".

That's why I liked eddie the most. Saying what he meant. No pr and be nice to everybody.
I will probably be sent to the wall for what I'm about to say, but you could say the same for Alonso and Hamilton for this era, as Irvine said for Senna and Schumacher in his time.
Caveat: By no means do I equate Alonso and Hamilton to Senna and Schumacher. It's different eras. I merely draw parallels of the leading drivers in each era.
Colin November 1, 2013 at 12:45 · · Reply →
Not sure i agree with above, including Eddie. He was a good hand in a car, but no Michael. Or Rubens for that matter.
Considering Michael won all his races in a Byrne / brawn car one could say that he had similar advantages, or not, to any Newey driver.
Newey plays a big part. But not the only part. Budget, drivers, other aero talent, engineers, engine, electronics etc all play their part.
Neweys cars, over the last 5 years have been epic, hence Seb doing so well. But everyone else in the team, and partners, have been doing an epic job.
I would have Fernando and Seb b4 Lewis myself. But I'd be splitting hairs.
Well, let's not forget that the post-Senna era was quite poor in terms of talent compared to the era before or the one after (i.e. current one). That of course made Schumacher the king. And I agree, being with Byrne/Brawn was a bit similar to being in a Newey car.
Danilo Schoeneberg November 1, 2013 at 13:09 · ·
I can't really make much sense of all the 'it's only Newey' claptrap. People seem to forget that between 1999 and 2009 his designs won nuff anything. He's not unbeatable.
McLaren78 November 1, 2013 at 13:16 · ·
He's only beatable when others (i.e. Ferarri at that time) have more money, links with FIA, tailor-made tyres (i.e. Bridgestone) and a world-class driver (i.e. Schuey). If all those other elements are pretty much similar across teams, Newey is in a lead of his own.
So Renault had bespoke tyres, FIA links and most money for two years or was that all Alonso's magic ?
They had Newey off to RBR rebuilding that team from Jaguar's ashes . It does take time to build a team you know…
And besides, don't take everything as a negative comment for Vettel's abilities. We're just saying that Newey really is in a league of his own. That is all. Vettel is still one of the best of this era as Hakkinen was of the last.
…plus Dennis suffocated Newey and did not give him enough freedom to do what he likes. That's part of the reason Newey enjoys RBR so much now and he's not leaving F1 any time soon.
Colin November 1, 2013 at 15:01 · ·
Its budget that talks.
The only exception is Toyota. Wrong people, wrong place, wrong approach. Right budget.
The days of pure design talent being enough pretty much ended with Neweys Leyton House and Andersons Jordan designs.
I dont agree. Everybody says vettel should win in a bad car. But vettel worked his way up. Hamilton came in a top team(able to fight for championship) and went to an other team when the worst times where over. Dont get me wrong hamilton is a top driver. But alonso and vettel are completer in my opinion. Now… but times they are a changing 😉

Judge, Joe Saward posted an interesting blog on the possible reasons for the Lotus deal taking so long. He thinks it's down to the new compliance & regulatory controls put in on large money transfers in this post-9/11 world.
I'm not sure if linking to is ce qui est fait but feel free to edit out! http://joesaward.wordpress.com/2013/11/01/the-future-of-lotus-f1/
Vortex Motio November 2, 2013 at 00:05 · · Reply →
Saward's article is disturbing and removes hopes of a bright future for the team from Enstone.
It's significant that the source of the article's material is Mansoor Ijaz of Quantum Motorsports.
Note the following reader's comment following the article:
"I work in the world of PE, hedge funds and M&A etc and have never known this type of compliance (KYC) to take so long and crucially, to not have been anticipated by lawyers ahead of the deal… this whole explanation doesn't quite stack up… and suggests other matters are at play or there are genuine compliance issues with some of the funders, which would be concerning."
If we just do the math, we can see this deal is very much a long ball play for these new investors:
Quantum Motorsports supposedly agreed to purchase 35% of the Lotus F1 team.
Lotus F1 team claims that the Quantum Motorsports folks are divided up as a 20 / 20 / 60 split between three entities (listed below).
20% of 35% = 7%
60% of 35% = 21%
Each of these three suckers, (oops! I mean entities) would therefore own:
7% of Lotus F1 team for Crescent Investment Management of New Jersey (Mr. Mansoor Ijaz)
7% of Lotus F1 team for Al Manhal International Group of Abu Dhabi (Mr. Suhail Al Dhaheri)
21% of Lotus F1 team for Universal Sports Group of Brunei (unidentified Brunei royal family interests)
So the valuation of Lotus F1 would be key.
Quantum Motorsports could say to Genii, "Golly! It appears that at best, the assets of this team total to almost $50million! So we're prepared to generously invest $17.5million very soon, as agreed."
Genii – "What!?! Lotus F1 team runs at the front of the grid, and is undervalued at $500million! Please present $175million by yesterday, if not sooner!"
ad nauseum…
Don_Quixote November 2, 2013 at 08:46 · · Reply →
I agree – cannot see why KYC is taking so long… unless the money they want to invest is "hot" money and AML is picking it up or they are trying to find ways to hide it is "hot".
It is very strange though as I cannot see why it is taking so long. Maybe Quantum is waiting until either Genii or Lotus F1 goes bust as they want to but it for a bargain?

Did someone really think Kimi would miss this GP? He won it last year, lotus is getting stronger compared to a few races ago; so it's his chance to win one last GP at Lotus. Not sure he cares about the team but he likes racing and winning, so there's no reason to miss this one over a few angry words with a team engineer. He likes racing not media events, so just a good enough excuse to come a bit late but just ready to race.
And did he look pretty good in 2nd practice; 4th in fast laps with a lap done much earlier with softs than Lewis. That's a good sign for bad qualifier like Kimi. And then a very good long stints, don't yet have the full lap tea but looked equal to red bulls what I could follow.
Just a bit of qualifying stats for you all.
It's already a foregone conclusion that Vettel, Hulk, Lewis, Kimi, Bottas, Bianchi, Pic and Ricciardo have won the qualifying battle for this year as they've outscored their team-mates 10 times or more.
Tomorrow it will be determined whether Alonso and Button can seal the deal as they've outqualified their teammates 9 times so far. The most interesting battle will be that between Alonso and Massa as the latter has outqualified the double-world champion 4 times in the last 5 races. Could Massa outqualify Alonso for the last 3 races and win the battle for this year?

A lot was said last year about McLaren having two bad qualifiers in Button and Perez for 2013. It´s a surprise that nobody has pointed that next year Ferrari might be the team with the two worst qualifiers between the top drivers. 6.06 For Alonso and 7.44 for Kimi are the average positions in which they have qualified this year.

A tweet from Ted Kravitz
"An explosive Kimi Raikkonen interview coming up in The F1 Show. Had to b persuaded to race this w/e, hasn't been paid all season.
And Jennie Gow
"Raikkonen not paid a single € this season by Lotus but he's come to race anyway because they now have an understanding. Listen @bbc5live #F1"
Thank you TJ13 for sharing that interview here. Pretty fascinating.
For the retro folks here, this reminds a little bit of Ayrton's 1993 season where he agreed to only do the first race for McLaren, but no season contract. Then they did a new contract just for each race.
This comment at the end spawns a big question, "…he is reserving his right to withdraw his services for the final two rounds in Austin and Brasil should the team not keep their end of the bargain."
Does anyone know what this bargain consists of?
Joe Papp November 2, 2013 at 07:43 · · Reply →
Uhhh no, not really. McLaren paid Senna – unlike Lotus!
And, while I know you aren't guilty of this, I am SICK of people suggesting that Kimi shouldn't be upset or complain b/c he's wealthy. Gah! By that logic, Lopez shouldn't extract any profit from any of his businesses (nevermind the team) – b/c he already has money! Retarded.
I like the way they change helmets. Some of them are absolutely stunning. On thr other hand i dont like the way they treat the hulk. I know there have always been pay drivers but this is getting ridiculous. It seems that some teams need the money so hard just to start that they arent in need of a good driver cuz they know they dont have enough money to win. I know every driver that makes it to f1 is a good driver but there are good drivers and good drivers. And it seems that quantity is winning from quality.we may have one of the strongest fields ever, in front. But the delivery of new talents is on an all time low.

IT'S BECAUSE OF IDIOTS LIKE SAM BIRD THAT F1 IS BECOMING A PAY-DRIVER MARKET FOR TEAMS AND PROPER PROFESSIONAL SPORTSMEN AREN'T BEING OFFERED SALARIES THEY MERIT! I just saw him on SKY's F1 show and rather than unreservedly standing in solidarity w/ Kimi (which you'd think he'd be quick to do, given he could be in the same boat, being exploited by a team's "owners," the moron had to boast that he'd "DRIVE FOR FREE"!! GAH! If that's the case, then Sam Bird no longer should be referred to as a professional sportsman: b/c he's not! B/c THEY GET PAID! And yes: I'M SHOUTING! b/c I'm pissed off at these idiots!
For me the principle is that if you have an agreement with a team to pay you x than that is what you'd expect. Lotus boasts they gave Kimi a good car to come back with but he wont be where he is without them… last time I checked Kimi won his world title in a Ferrari… Next year Lotus will see what the true cost of losing Kimi is…
I agree 100% – if team has executed a contract w/ a driver who has lived up to his responsibilities, they damn well better pay him! And if he continues to drive for you when you HAVEN'T paid him one red cent for an entire season, the idea that you would publicly verbally abuse him is unconscionable.
Oh my. Sam Bird stalled out on the grid and ruined his own race. While I take no pleasure in seeing him failure, it's apropos given his unprofessionalism the night previous when he gushed like a schoolgirl that he'd gladly drive for free in F1 if only someone would have him. Now we see why he has such a low opinion of his skills and value…

Drowned villages
7 Feb 2014 30 Apr 2014 ~ simonsylvester
I'm a little ashamed to say that I nearly didn't post this. It's probably the most amazing writing competition I've ever seen, and I'm so hungry for it that a purely selfish part of me doesn't want anyone else to know about it. But that's not how a writing community functions, and I'd rather the prize-winner was the best possible piece of work. So take a look at this: a brand new poetry competition where the top prize is having your work soundtracked by Mogwai.
In case you missed that, I'll say it again.
THE TOP PRIZE IS HAVING YOUR WORK SOUNDTRACKED BY MOGWAI.
I've written about Mogwai before (here and here). They recorded my favourite ever album, Come On Die Young, and they've been one of my favourite bands for well over a decade. It's no exaggeration to say that they have soundtracked around half my writing output. Although I don't really count myself a poet, this is too good an opportunity to miss. What's more, the theme is tight and thrilling: the judges are seeking poems about drowned villages, and this is where the competition gets really interesting. There's a submerged village in Lanarkshire in Scotland; another in Cumbria in England; and a third in Gwynedd in Wales. The competition is only open to library members of those specific regions. By happy coincidence, I've been a member of Cumbria Libraries for years.
The judges are Scottish Makar Liz Lochhead, top poet Ian McMillan and Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire. I've never known a catchment so small for such an intriguing competition, such big judges and such an amazing prize. The theme really sings to me; I've written before about my love of French mystery drama The Returned (also soundtracked by Mogwai) which features a drowned village, and I've often been haunted by the thought of steeples emerging from Haweswater.
By weird coincidence, I also have the makings of a poem that fits the theme. A year or so ago, I started work on a piece about the landscapes of the Lakes. While I was pleased with the language and form, I couldn't find a hook to hang it on, and abandoned it unfinished. This competition gives me the hook.
I've spent most of today working on the poem, writing and redrafting and always reading – reading it to myself, reading it to the cats – trying new forms, new phrases. I'm pleased with it, as far as it goes, but I'm really unsure about my poetry, and I don't know how it will fare against stiff competition. I'm going to revisit several more times over the rest of the month, and submit only when it's as tight as possible.
Soundtracked by Mogwai. A man can dream…
UPDATE – If you want to see my thoughts on the winning poems, mosey over here.

"I" is for "Ireland"
Ireland is in my blood, literally, confirmed by DNA testing. Originally lumping Ireland and Scotland together as 58% of my DNA, the current refined Ancestry.com algorithm reports my Irish and Scots DNA separately as 48% and 26%, respectively. Despite this heritage, although I have spent a bone-chilling weekend in Edinburgh, I have yet to set foot in Ireland. What courses through my veins is their common language — poetry, folklore, and, especially, music.
On "C" day of this A to Z Challenge, I wrote about Scotland's unofficial anthem, "Caledonia." Today, I'm thinking of what some consider Ireland's unofficial anthem, "Ireland's Call." Written by Northern Irish Derryman Phil Coulter, "Ireland's Call" was intended to unify Ireland's rugby fans.
The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) commissioned the song for the 1995 World Cup, where teams are introduced and honored by the singing of their national anthems. The IRFU team represented the entire island of Ireland, and some Northern Irish IRFU members understandably objected to using the Republic of Ireland's national anthem, "Amhrán na bhFiann" (Irish) or "the Soldier's Song" (English). I say "understandably" because "Amhrán na bhFiann" is a "rebel song" which became a rallying cry for the Irish Volunteers during the War for Independence from England. That War ultimately resulted in the creation of the Irish Free State (now the Republic of Ireland), with Northern Ireland remaining as part of Great Britain.
Although I know nothing about rugby, "Ireland's Call" stirs my blood. I first heard it when Celtic Thunder's then-music-director, Phil Coulter, revised and added it to their setlist. Ironically, CT's only Scotsman, George Donaldson, led CT onto the stage while singing the first words. It quickly became a fan favorite, especially after it evolved into a performance full of swirling kilts.
The first of the following two "Ireland's Call" videos shows the entire lyrics as written for the IRFU. The second shows Celtic Thunder's original performance before the theatrical addition of kilts.
The third video is a freebie: Luke Kelly and the Dubliners' "Song for Ireland."

Justin Bieber's "Sorry" Bumps Adele's "Hello" From No. 1 on Hot 100
Jason Lipshutz
Chris McKay/WireImage
Justin Bieber has collected his second straight No. 1 single, as "Sorry," the second single from his Purpose album, has bumped Adele's "Hello" out of the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
"Hello" spent 10 straight weeks at No. 1, and "Sorry" spent eight non-consecutive weeks behind it. In September, Bieber's "What Do You Mean?" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart, becoming the singer's first chart-topper.
Meanwhile, Bieber's third single from Purpose, "Love Yourself," clocks in at No. 3 on the chart. Could the Biebs replace himself at No. 1, as the Weeknd did last year? We'll have to wait and see if "Love Yourself" finds enough love to make it to No. 1.
Also of note on the Hot 100: Twenty One Pilots' "Stressed Out" moves up 9-5, reaching a new peak and giving the duo its first Top 5 hit one week after the group scored its first Top 10 hit. "Stressed Out" is still No. 1 on the Hot Rock Songs chart.


Even our Boardroom has been converted into an "Innovation Centre" - photo above.
Meet with customers and suppliers in the Innovations Centre - being in the room ignites new ideas.
Encourage experimentation and embrace failure as learning. Employees do not fear losing their job if an idea does not work.
Bold ideas are important and can fail. Try bold ideas which have a high chance of failure - they also have a high chance of major change and maybe success.
The market place is not always ready for new ideas - ideas can be shelved and brought back if the market has changed.
We especially get excited if things are "outside the box" - ideas where others may not want to venture. This is where some major change can happen.

Démographie

Randogne et ses origines

Comme la majorité des communes de la Rive Droite, Randogne s'étale sur tout le coteau de la Noble Contrée. De Rand, son nom est devenu Randonni, puis Randonna et c'est en 1517 que des documents attestent enfin de son existence.

En commençant par le bas de la Commune qui se situe au niveau de la plaine, il y a le village de Loc. Les premiers habitants de ce village furent les nobles familles sierroises qui séjournaient au sortir de l'hiver, pour jouir des premiers rayons du soleil, ainsi que du paysage vert timide parsemé de pommiers immaculés.

Au-dessus de Loc, le petit hameau de Darnona qui se trouve dans les vignes.

Ensuite, en montant, se trouve le village de Randogne, au milieu d'un champ de vergers et de jardins, village qui connait le  un incendie qui le détruit, à l'exception de la chapelle.

En 1900, lors de l'inspection du village par le Conseiller d'État M. Graven et M. De Chastonay, préfet, 110 ménages y vivent. Aux vieilles maisons ont succédé des maisons de pierre couvertes d'ardoises et séparées des locaux agricoles. La rue centrale a  de large et des espaces suffisants ont été prévus entre toutes les constructions.

Ensuite se trouve le village de Bluche, sur un plateau utilisé pour l'élevage du bétail. Au-dessus de Bluche se trouve le plateau d'Orzières où plusieurs hôtels ont été construits.

Au-dessus d'Orzières se trouve le centre de la station de Montana tout au sommet, la tour de Supercrans - Vermala. Vers 1930, les habitants de Montana adressent une pétition au Conseil d'État pour la création d'une nouvelle commune sur le Haut-Plateau. La pétition est refusée par le Grand Conseil.

Infographic Of The Day: Visualizing The Black Death's Toll (And Other Huge Numbers) Using Your Facebook Friends List

By John Pavlus 2 minute Read
I've made a few science explainers in my day, but my dream is to create, or co-create, or just be involved in creating something with the simple majesty of Charles and Ray Eames's "Powers of Ten," which used a "long zoom" to physically visualize the abstract nature of exponent numbers (as well as the scale of the universe from the cosmic to the micro-cosmic). Well, I guess I should have learned to code and gotten a job at BERG London, because they've gone and done it.
"How Many Really?", Berg's latest interactive project for the BBC, uses the currency of our always-on, digitally connected age–social networks and "friend" lists–as raw material to visualize the real-world scale of huge numbers throughout history. Ever wonder how many people died during the Black Death? The site will tap into your Facebook or Twitter account and use your own social network as the starting point in a "breadcrumb trail" that visually compares your friend list to the number of people who perished. Unless you're Ashton Kutcher, the stark difference in magnitude will astonish you.
There are loads of other figures to visualize on the site, not just morbid ones. But the basic concept driving the visualization–using the numbers we care about most these days as yardsticks to contextualize the ones we don't–is, in a word, genius. Alex Jarvis, one of the BERG designers who created the site, explicitly states that his team leaned on "Powers of Ten" for inspiration. (As Jim Jarmusch said, "Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that fuels your imagination.") But like that classic Eames film, BERG's creation is humble in its simplicity: it's not a fullscreen animation full of music cues and flashy art, but a small slideshow-like window that takes you on the journey. Or rather, lets you take the journey yourself.
That's what makes "How Many Really?" a worthy successor to "Powers of Ten": it updates that 43-year-old film's visual language for the vernacular of our current age, which is not static or passive but interactive, networked, and data-driven. Like "Powers of Ten," it feels as simple and personal as a sketch, as refined as a mass-appeal product, as mind-opening as fine art, and as noble and humane as a public works project, all at once. The Eames studio integrated the competing demands of art, commerce, design, and education like no one else since, and BERG is the only outfit on earth that reminds me of them.

Annie B will be in its 40th year in 2018! Captains Mike and Rick are running the boat together. We have had our Coast Guard licenses for 20 plus years. The main reason for fishing in Cape Cod Bay is the southerly winds on the Cape which means calmer waters for us, less sea sickness and fewer cancellations. The abundance of BASS and BLUES in the Bay are also pluses. We caught big fish this year. Check all the photos.
In 2007 the best News for the Annie B was that the Town of Dennis accepted our application for a slip at Sesuit Harbor which cut our running times to fishing in half. Example: 25 minutes from the Sesuit Dock means we are now fishing on the shoals whereas in Barnstable we were still in the harbor with 35 minutes still left to get to the shoals. Less traveling =more fishing time.
Many Parties are now thinking the 4hr, 5hr, and 6hr trips now instead of the longer 8 hours. Please call or e mail early as some dates are already taken. ***** Breaking news!!! We now accept credit cards!!! **** Please "Like US" and "Share" on Facebook! Those of you I gave video chips to last year please send a clip or two to our e mail or better still, post it on our Facebook page. Thank you!

Within the semiconductor manufacturing industry, there are a variety of entry-level jobs that pay well and provide opportunities for advancement. Individuals who participate in some form of postsecondary training — whether it is on the job, in a training center or at a community college — are often even better positioned to succeed in the manufacturing sector. An increasing number of employers and industries are requiring specialized training or education beyond a high school diploma. In addition to the semiconductor industry, other leading manufacturing sectors with good job opportunities include aerospace products and parts and electronic components.

Columbia University Manhattanville Campus
Southeast corner of the Science Center.
Construction is wrapping up at Renzo Piano's Jerome L. Greene Science Center, the first building for Columbia University's Manhattanville Campus expansion. Set to open Spring 2017, the 9-story, 450,000 square-foot building will bring together researchers from across the University including the Columbia University Medical Center, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science. The ground floor will house the Center for Education and Outreach, a public education center focused on brain science that will serve the general public and K-12 schools.
Looking east towards the Manhattanville Expansion campus.
Work is also wrapping up on the Lenfest Center for the Arts, the smaller structure located adjacent to the Science Center. Also designed by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW), the Center for the Arts houses galleries, performance spaces, a screening room, and offices in an eight-story structure. A unitized panel system of white metal and glass clads the exterior, a similar look to the firm's new Whitney Museum at the High Line.
The third RPBW building in Columbia University's master plan for the Manhattanville campus, the Academic Conference Center, has reached ground level. Located south of the Science Center, it will house a 400-seat auditorium and state-of-the-art seminar and meeting rooms inside a five-story structure.

Wells Fargo bank is extending its hours Friday and Saturday after a power shutdown at one of the bank's facilities affected numerous bank's services. Customers spoke up on social media Friday, saying mobile banking either was unavailable or their paychecks had yet to show up. We know this has created difficulty for our customers, and we are sorry to have let you down. "We are experiencing higher than normal volumes so there still may be delays in online banking and contact center response times." .
Whitney Dawe uses the Wells Fargo app every day; he's been banking with them for almost eight years. "Some team members were not able to see the payroll deposits in their online banking accounts for a short period of time".
Customers Randy and Dawn Brown also took a big scare since they were in the middle of paying the IRS. The bank has been plagued with scandals over its sales practices, attaching insurance contracts to auto loans that did not need it, and putting homes into foreclosure where it shouldn't have happened.


Competencies in agriculture needed by males employed in retail fertilizer distribution, 1964.
This is an abstract of a theses submitted to Iowa State University by Frederick Alvin Van Loh in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science.

Diane Shima Rwigara and her mother Adeline want one of the trial judges to be recused.
Through their lawyers, the pair said that the judge was involved in their pre-trial detention hearings in which they were denied bail and is therefore biased.
The two appeared in a Kigali court on Monday for bail application hearing.
"As stated in the law, the hearing cannot proceed if one of the judges had a role in the pre-trial hearing on provisional release," Pierre Celestin Buhuru, a lawyer for the Rwigaras told the court, adding that they had filed the request with the court registrar on Friday.
Article 103 of the Law No 22/2018 of 29/04/2018 relating to the civil, commercial, labour and administrative procedure, gives several reasons to disqualify a judge among them is if "the judge has already given an opinion or advice on the case before the hearing of the case".
Clause 6 of the same article also states that a judge can be disqualified if he or she "once intervened in the case as a judge, a mediator, a prosecutor, a judicial police officer, a party, a witness, an arbitrator, an interpreter, an expert or as a public servant".
The defence lawyers, Mr Buhuru and Mr Gatera Gashabana, asked the court to postpone the hearing until the judge, who they did not name, is replaced.
Diane, a government critic and former presidential contender, is facing charges of forgery and insurrection while her mother is accused of insurrection and promoting sectarianism.
Diane's bid for the presidency in 2017 was unsuccessful after she was disqualified.
The Rwigaras says the charges are politically motivated and a move by the government to punish Diane for her presidential ambitions.
The family also alleges that their troubles began in February 2015 when they questioned the manner in which the patriarch tycoon businessman Assinapol Rwigara died.
They are also battling property auctions as the taxman moves to recover $6.5 million it says it is owed by the family-owned businesses.
Ingabire
The trial Monday was attended by family, friends, diplomats and Victoirie Ingabire, an opposition politician who was recently freed having been granted a presidential pardon after six years in prison.
Ms Ingabire, released on September 15, is already facing backlash from the government for appearing to be defiant.
Immediately after her release, she told journalists that she hoped President Paul Kagame would pardon other "political prisoners," a statement that some government officials say is misleading.
She also met Anne Rwigara, sister of Diane Rwigara, as well as another politician, Bernard Ntaganda, who was released in 2014 after serving a four-year sentence for conducting illegal demonstrations.
President Kagame has issued a strong warning that Ms Ingabire's claims that she did not seek presidential clemency could land her back in jail.

Diane and her mother have already spent a year in prison since their arrest last September.
Their trial has been delayed several times with some of the setbacks including the prosecution's request for delay until four other people are arrested and presented in court. The four all live abroad.
The High Court agreed to postpone the trial on Monday until it addresses the issue raised saying a new date will be announced later.
