Lollapalooza has it all.
Except art.
Specifically, a big, thoughtfully curated art show. And so, this summer, Lollapalooza is getting a group exhibition so enormous that, if street artist/curator Shepard Fairey has his way, its largest murals will stay in Chicago long after the buzzsaw thump of Skrillex dislodges your brain stem. In fact, the show — announced Wednesday and titled "Art Alliance: The Provocateurs" — is so large and serious it will not be in Grant Park.
Instead, it will be held in Block Thirty Seven. "Art Alliance" — part of a marketing partnership between C3 Presents, the Texas-based promoter of Lollapalooza, and Fairey, whose iconic "Hope" portraits of Barack Obama remain as memorable as his Andre the Giant-stamped "Obey" images — will dominate a sizable portion of the 25,000-square-foot building on North State Street. It will run from July 31 to Aug. 4, concurrent with the music festival (but a separate ticketed event).
And judging from the artists Fairey has invited, it promises to be a rangy survey of street, poster and illustrative work — "the only common strand being these artists come out of D.I.Y. movements," Fairey said. But each, he added, is also provocative, "through the content of their art or the means of its dissemination."
Details are being finalized, but among those confirmed for "Art Alliance" are a monster sampling of rough-hewn sensibilities that have come to define 21st century aesthetics: pioneering New York graffiti artists Futura and Eric Haze (who also designed album covers for Public Enemy and the Beastie Boys); Mark Mothersbaugh (whose visual arts career extends before his time as the singer of Devo); Gary Panter (the revered painter and underground cartoonist who created the explosive whimsy of "Pee-wee's Playhouse"); Invader (the French street artist who tags walls with the images of early eight-bit video game graphics); Ryan McGinness, FAILE and RETNA (whose congested, playful canvases are traffic jams of pop hieroglyphics); Stanley Donwood (best known as Radiohead's go-to album designer and artist); Winston Smith (whose black-and-white collages are synonymous with hard-core punk); and Camille Rose Garcia (whose unsettling, Disney-inspired images of dark fantasy often resemble the missing link between Tim Burton and Hot Topic).
The show's producers are expecting 5,000 attendees daily.
"We have never done anything like this with the art world," said Charlie Walker, one of the founders of C3, "but a lot of the creatives we bring in and a lot of the audience who comes in, they're thirsty for more cultural stuff. They want other things to do while they're in town, and we'd like to diversify — it's just a natural fit."
Asked to explain further why a loud, typically unsubtle blockbuster commercial music festival was a fit with the visual-art world, Fairey said: "Because a great thing about music is how democratic it can be, and my approach to art was always modeled on that basic accessibility, around more do-it-yourself kinds of music like punk and hip-hop. Art is increasingly about straddling worlds. That makes it a natural fit for music, which is doing a lot of those same things. Barriers between so-called high and low art are not so much there now. The time seems right for music audiences — full of creative-minded people — to be in tune with what is happening not only in the fine-art world but with posters, street art, works that are extensions of fashion."
Lorrie Boula, Fairey's manager (and a producer of "Art Alliance"), put a finer point on that: "There's a real need — and I hate to put an age on this — for people under 45 to see art outside of a rigid and constructed setting. A lot of audiences are turned off. They see it as an institutionalized experience — as too exclusive."
Indeed, among the artists included in the show is Dzine, a.k.a. Humboldt Park-based artist Carlos Rolon, internationally celebrated for often blingy, baroque installations. He said that for the past several years he's felt "confined in a white cube (gallery). There's something refreshing to an art show where you're not much worried about a curatorial prerogative or serving collectors or administrators." In the same breath, he said: "But personally, I tend to avoid these kinds of exhibitions. As an artist, you never like being pigeonholed in a DIY box. You get imprinted with that cool-kid hipster label. But I do like that Shepard has remained really conscious of youth culture and retained his connections to it. And I like him, too — he's an old dear friend."
Fairey, among the most connected of street artists, began his career in Providence, R.I., studying at the Rhode Island School of Design and quickly becoming a ubiquitous East Coast presence, tagging lampposts, street signs and billboards with cryptic stickers that read: "Andre The Giant Has a Posse." But even much later, after his "Hope" poster for the 2008 presidential election brought him a higher profile, Fairey continued plastering unauthorized works on public walls; as recently as 2009, while in Boston, on his way to his first solo exhibition, the artist was arrested for tagging private property (he received two years probation).
"You know, the crazy thing is I spent 20 years looking over my shoulder for cops," he said in a phone interview from his Los Angeles studio, "and now I get private homeowners offering their walls for me to tag."
Fairey said that he's already in negotiations with a handful of Chicago homeowners (as well as the city itself) about installing new works from him and other artists in his show around Chicago this summer.
As for the show inside Block Thirty Seven, expect freshly-created works alongside older art, traditional wall paintings and wall-length graphic installations. Also, according to Boula — who said she and Fairey hope to make future variations of "Art Alliance" an annual Lollapalooza-associated event — many of the works will be for sale, from low-cost prints to five-figure pieces. "There's a price point for everyone," she said.
Even a drunk 15-year-old from Buffalo Grove?
"Absolutely!"

Q: How to call embedded ViewControllers lifecycles in UIScrollView - Swift - Programmatically I am creating a scrollView that is able to display ViewController views one after the other. This is the code I implemented:
scrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: screenWidth * 3, height: screenHeight)

    let firstVC = FirstViewController()

    let secondVC = SecondViewController()

    let thirdVC = ThirdViewController()

    self.addChild(firstVC)
    self.scrollView.addSubview(firstVC.view)
    firstVC.willMove(toParent: self)

    self.addChild(secondVC)
    self.scrollView.addSubview(secondVC.view)
    secondVC.willMove(toParent: self)

    self.addChild(thirdVC)
    self.scrollView.addSubview(thirdVC.view)
    thirdVC.willMove(toParent: self)

    firstVC.view.frame.origin = CGPoint.zero
    secondVC.view.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: screenWidth, y: 0)
    thirdVC.view.frame.origin = CGPoint(x: screenWidth*2, y: 0)

    view.addSubview(scrollView)
    scrollView.fillSuperview()

I wanted to know if it was possible to call each ViewController lifecycle method whenever I'm scrolling through them.
So for example when I'm passing from vc1 to vc2 I want that:
vc1 fires viewwillDisappear method
vc2 fires viewWillAppear method

A: The easiest solution is to use a page view controller. When you do that, the appearance methods for the children will be called for you automatically (and it gets you out of all of that dense code to manually populate and configure the scroll view):
class MainViewController: UIPageViewController {
    let controllers = [RedViewController(), GreenViewController(), BlueViewController()]

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        dataSource = self
        setViewControllers([controllers.first!], direction: .forward, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

extension MainViewController: UIPageViewControllerDataSource {
    func pageViewController(_ pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerAfter viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {
        if let index = controllers.firstIndex(where: { $0 == viewController }), index < (controllers.count - 1) {
            return controllers[index + 1]
        }
        return nil
    }

    func pageViewController(_ pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerBefore viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {
        if let index = controllers.firstIndex(where: { $0 == viewController }), index > 0 {
            return controllers[index - 1]
        }
        return nil
    }
}

If you really want to use the scroll view approach, don't do the view controller containment code up front, but rather only add them as they scroll into view (and remove them when they scroll out of view). You just need to set a delegate for your scroll view and implement a UIScrollViewDelegate method.
So, for example, I might only populate my scroll view with container subviews for these three child view controllers. (Note containerViews in my example below are just blank UIView instances, laid out where the child view controller views will eventually go.) Then I can see if the CGRect of the visible portion of the scroll view intersects with a container view, and do the view controller containment in a just-in-time manner.
extension ViewController: UIScrollViewDelegate {
    func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        let rect = CGRect(origin: scrollView.contentOffset, size: scrollView.bounds.size)
        for (index, containerView) in containerViews.enumerated() {
            let controller = controllers[index]
            let controllerView = controller.view!
            if rect.intersects(containerView.frame) {
                if controllerView.superview == nil {
                    // a container view has scrolled into view, but the associated
                    // child controller view has not been added to the view hierarchy, yet
                    // so let's do that now

                    addChild(controller)
                    containerView.addSubview(controllerView)
                    controllerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false

                    NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
                        controllerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: containerView.topAnchor),
                        controllerView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: containerView.bottomAnchor),
                        controllerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: containerView.leadingAnchor),
                        controllerView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: containerView.trailingAnchor)
                    ])

                    controller.didMove(toParent: self)
                }
            } else {
                if controllerView.superview != nil {
                    // a container view has scrolled out of view, but the associated
                    // child controller view is still in the view hierarchy, so let's
                    // remove it.

                    controller.willMove(toParent: nil)
                    controllerView.removeFromSuperview()
                    controller.removeFromParent()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

In both of these scenarios, you will receive the containment calls as the views appear.

10 months of 2017 have passed. We are now in the final 2 months of the year.
All in all, I'd say this is a pretty hard year to beat in terms of accomplishments. And the best part? There are still two whole months to go, to get more things done.
Right now, I'm planning the book launch for The Introvert Teacher as well as workshops for Loupin Jewels, apart from an overseas trip, all before the year is out!
Very exciting stuff! I am thankful for all that has happened this year and all that is about to happen soon. Thank you for being a part of it!
It's always nice to go away for a while, even if it's only a few days. I'll be travelling to the Land of Smiles from 14 – 18 Jan. It'll be a short holiday, a sourcing trip for household items and I'll also be fulfilling some gem requests by some local customers, as well as visiting some of Thai locals that I've befriended.
One thing that I've learned about travelling is to always inoculate your system with some of the local bacteria when you go to a foreign land.
1) The best way to do this is to drink some local yoghurt or have some local fermented products. Since I started doing this, I've stopped getting gastrointestinal problems while overseas – something that I used to suffer from rather frequently (and rather severely) in the past.
2) Another thing I've learned is to move with purpose even in an unfamiliar area. Stopping and/or looking around with a 'lost look' on your face makes you a target for unsavoury characters.
3) Finally, I've learned to build rapport with the locals. I do this by spending time observing their customs (especially trading customs) and behaviours. I've also found that trying to use a few phrases in the local language helps, as does asking questions and being willing to try the local cuisine (and complimenting appropriately).
Building rapport with the locals makes future travels to their country more fun, because they will be more than willing to shower you in their hospitality, not to mention the friendlier prices that they'll give you when you buy from them.
Here's to a great trip and many more in the future!
The day is finally here! After months of preparation (and some delays), the website of Loupin Jewels is now live! There are still a couple of tweaks and updates needed there, but the site is up and running!
It's not been easy juggling the book - The Introvert Teacher - and the gemstone business, but it all now comes to fruition. And not a moment too soon. It's still 2016! I'm in time!
The aim of Loupin Jewels is to bring awareness and attention to the vibrant world of gems and gemstone jewellery.
There will be gemstones, gem-related products, gem hunting services and beautiful jewellery available through us.
There will also be classes and blog posts on how to buy gems, how to assess them and how to avoid getting ripped off.
How to avoid getting ripped off has been asked of me by so many people so many times that I have written a book about it. There is some information on the website - here - and I envision that the book will be ready soon, but it's still in the works. Right now, I'm looking for an illustrator to enhance the readability of the text that I've written.
Please have a look at the website: www.loupinjewels.com and let me know if there are any bugs on the site. I might have missed something. Give me your comments too!
The birthstone of July is the ruby, a unique gem, because its name is given due to its colour, not its mineral composition. What I mean is that you never truly have to say 'red' ruby, since ruby is understood to be red.
Ruby is corundum (the name of its mineral composition) - the same mineral as sapphire, which, though often thought of as blue, actually comes in every possible shade of colour, including orange, yellow, green and purple.
So here's a question. If a piece of corundum is pink, is it a ruby or a sapphire? Even esteemed gemologists cannot come to a common consensus. Those that are purists insist that it has to be red before it's a ruby. They would call it pink sapphire. The more inclusive ones believe that, as long as it is some form of red, it can be called a ruby. They would be fine with calling it pink ruby.
Of course, neither side is entirely correct nor entirely wrong. This is simply an artifact of our limitations of sight, expression and language.
The reason I brought this up was due to a recent surge in having to explain the identity of a particularly stunning pink corundum gem encased in intricately designed gold that now adorns the finger of an exceptionally beautiful lady who absolutely adores the jewel and the gentleman who gave it to her.

Aikido is a Japanese martial art developed in the first part of the 20th Century by Morihei Ueshiba, known as "O-Sensei" (Great Teacher).
Aikido departed from traditional Japanese martial arts, which can result in the person attacked injuring or killing his attacker. O-Sensei developed an approach with the goal that no one necessarily gets hurt – attacker, defender or bystanders.
I had the opportunity to spend time with Sensei Aki Fleshler, a sixth-degree black belt who studied under three of O-Sensei's direct disciples and founded the dojo Aikido Multnomah Aikikai.
I shared with Sensei Fleshler some of the challenges HR professionals face and asked if any Aikido principles might be of value.
The principle that stood out the most was the goal is not to win or dominate; it's to restore harmony among all parties. When the attack comes, instead of blocking it and counterstriking as in Karate, an Aikido practitioner engages, blends and flows with the attacker, maintaining her balance and conserving her energy while the attacker expends energy, struggling to keep his balance. The attacker can be directed away, or pinned to the ground, as a natural consequence of his or her aggression.
Sensei Fleshler describes the concept of "Shoshin" or "true beginner's mind", which Aikido masters strive for. Shoshin means having no preconceived outcome but adapting to each new challenge with a fresh, humble and flexible stance, looking ultimately to create a positive connection.
Sensei Fleshler shared an experience where he had to apply his Aikido training outside the dojo.
"I play keyboards in a band. At a concert, a highly impaired audience member jumped on the stage. He began throwing musical equipment at audience members. He then started throwing punches at a band member.
"The man remained passive until the police arrived and took him away.
I hope you never have to face a situation like the one Sensei Fleshler faced. However, I suspect you have or will experience something comparable in a verbal sense.
As in Aikido, you're not trying to win or dominate. Your goal is restoring harmony.
I hope 2019 is a year of harmony for you.

In the past few days The New York Times reviewed four financial crisis-related books now available at your local Amazon.com website. Two of these are about that former scrappy investment bank led by infamous midnight toker Jimmy Cayne, one focuses on how a group of derivative traders with questionable ethics from the bank of Dimon played a part in the market crash and one tells how home-ownership country became bailout nation.
The shortest read of the bunch, Daniel Gross' Dumb Money: How Our Greatest Financial Minds Bankrupted the Nation, at 104 pages, is a "succinct," "breezy and sometimes snarky account" "for the lay reader" of how low interest rates turned into growing debt turned into banks bundling then selling said debt turned into housing crisis turned into the horror of Stephen King proportions now commonly referred to as the worldwide financial crisis.

Peck has given our family so much, and it really has been one of the biggest parts of our lives the past ten years. Peck has shaped who our boys have become – into the articulate, empathetic, scholastically-disciplined young men they are today.
For Julie and Thomas Bliemel, a firm foundation and a global perspective go hand in hand. Over the past 11 years, The Peck School "family" has anchored them with a strong and supportive community, while at the same time, their ties to relatives outside the region and across the world have shaped them in profound ways.
So how did the Bliemel family plant roots in Northern New Jersey while nurturing branches across the Atlantic? It began when a young woman from St. Louis met a young man from Germany while they were both working for Citibank in New York.
Thomas originally travelled to the US as a member of a university exchange program. He flourished in this new environment, decided to stay on and complete his MBA, and then made his way to Citbank. Julie, who graduated from The University of Texas with a degree in finance, transferred to New York from the Dallas office of Citibank. They were married in 1998.
After relocating to Chatham, NJ, and as their eldest son, Alec, approached kindergarten age, they made the decision to search for a private school with smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. "A neighbor recommended Peck," explains Julie, "and we came on a tour. We immediately loved the school and knew we had found the perfect fit." Several years later, they also enrolled their younger son, Marc.
So when it came time for this campaign, Thomas and I decided that we wanted to pay it forward. Peck has given our family so much, and it really has been one of the biggest parts of our lives the past ten years.
That strong sense of family and community resonated with Julie and Thomas, who were both raised by parents with a commitment to charitable giving, church, and community. "Because it was a big part of our childhood, we wanted to impress on our boys that it is important to give back," says Julie. To the Bliemels, this sense of social responsibility extended not only to the community here in New Jersey, but around the world.
At least once a year, Julie and Thomas take their sons to Germany to maintain ties with their European clan. While Thomas travels frequently with work, he has used his business trips to connect the family to the world through photos and other creative means. In their efforts to broaden their sons' minds, give them a global perspective, and raise them with a world-view, the Bliemels have also used family vacations to learn about cultures and values. They have participated in an African Safari, ventured to the Galapagos Islands, and scaled the heights of Machu Picchu.
Despite the fact that their youngest son Marc recently graduated with the Class of 2018, and they have no other children at Peck to benefit from the current campus construction, Julie and Thomas have chosen to support The Peck Promise Campaign to pass on the many benefits they received from this community. When they arrived at Peck in 2006, the school had recently finished construction of a state-of-the-art athletic center and the Eckert Huff academic building.

Obama launches program to help minority youth
Aamer Madhani
President Obama recruited several philanthropic groups to take part in initiative
White House will assess the effectiveness of existing public and private efforts
An adviser says the president will remain dedicated to the issue after he leaves office
In an earlier version of this story, the name of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation was misspelled.
President Obama launched a new government partnership with businesses and philanthropic groups on Thursday aimed at keeping high-risk young men of color on the right path.
Obama called it a "moral issue" for the country to help minority youth gain the education and skills they need to succeed as adults and to stay out of jail.
"It doesn't take that much, but it takes more than we are doing now," Obama said. "And that's what My Brother's Keeper is about."
As part of the program, Obama wants to adopt best practices from communities throughout the country where businesses and foundations are already working together to mentor young minority men.
In support of the program, the Obama administration recruited several philanthropic groups — including the Annie E. Casey Foundation, The Ford Foundation and The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation — to pledge at least $200 million over the next five years to develop programs on early childhood development, parenting, school discipline reform and other critical areas.
Obama noted that in the first three years of life a child born into a low-income family typically hears 30 million fewer words than a child of a well-off family.
He also cited statistics that show a student who can't read at grade level by third grade is four times less likely to graduate by age 19 than a child who does read proficiently by that time. Children living in poverty are 13 times less likely to graduate on time than their wealthier peers.
The president took aim at zero-tolerance policies, the practice of automatically suspending students for certain infractions. The administration last month recommended that schools discontinue the practice.
Schools are twice as likely to suspend a Hispanic student and four times more likely to suspend an African-American student than they are white students. Students that are suspended even once before the ninth grade are twice as likely to drop out.
"There are ways to modify bad behavior that leads to good behavior," Obama said. "We can make classrooms good places for learning for everybody without jeopardizing a child's future."
The foundations have agreed to work with Obama's Cabinet secretary, Broderick Johnson, over the next 90 days to assess the effectiveness of existing public and private efforts and determine how the federal government can change its policies to support those efforts.
The announcement comes in the same week as the two-year anniversary of the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the unarmed teenager whose 2012 slaying in Florida spurred Obama to speak in personal terms about race.
Trayvon's parents, as well as the parents of 17-year-old Jordan Davis, an unarmed black teen who was killed in 2012 in Jacksonville, were among those invited to the White House for the announcement.
Obama also invited young men from a Chicago-based group called Becoming a Man, which he held up as group that his administration can learn from as it develops the initiative.
He recalled telling them about the bad choices he made, including "getting high" and sometimes taking school less seriously than he should have.
"I could see myself in these young men," Obama said. "The only difference was I grew up in an environment that was a little more forgiving."
Obama has faced periodic criticism during his presidency from prominent African Americans — including scholar Cornel West and radio host Tavis Smiley — who have charged that he has spent little political capital or energy focusing on the plight of poor minority communities.
But in recent weeks, the Obama administration won praise for focusing on some issues that are of great concern in minority communities.
Attorney General Eric Holder called on states this month to repeal laws that strip felons of the right to vote, a penalty imposed on nearly one in 13 African Americans.
Holder is also pushing Congress to eliminate mandatory minimum sentences for non-violent drug offenders and has sued Texas and North Carolina to overturn voter-identification laws that opponents say are more likely to keep minorities and the poor from voting.
On Thursday, Obama received praised from African-American lawmakers and activists for launching the initiative.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said the program could "give our young black men a fighting chance."

Note-2: Items are not stocked. We manufacture after order has been placed.
Been using it for one month and so far it has saved the car a few times on some real bad rear-end landings from approx 10ft in the air after some jumps at the skate park didn't go to plan. And these were full-on bumper first landings, the motor would have been toast without this bad boy in place! well worth it and with a great guarantee, you got nothing to lose!
Very pleased with these. Bought for my HPI E-Firestorm on recommendations and glad I did. They are solid, as is the wheelie bar attachment.


That's what people say when they are presented with the conflicting options on where to dine in The Peninsula Manila. Sure there's the variety that Escolta brings, the grandness of the lobby lounge, and the contemporary classics of Old Manila.
But when it is in-your-face deliciousness of Southeast Asian cuisine, it has got to be Spices.
…for they present you with a setup that lets you dine under the stars.
The incandescent bulbs lined up along the palm trees, the cool breezy air, the pool that is just around the corner, with the right balance of noise and silence, it doesn't get any more charming than this. It actually is very reminiscent of how we spent Valentine's day before!
Your night starts with a glass of champagne to celebrate the new year, then paired with a Som Tam Karakor (Spicy Green Papaya Salad). The heat of the salad jives with an unusual topic to start the day: politics. As heated a debate as the salad you take it, but ironically sobering as you swig that effervescent champagne by your side.
You forget all those as you take in a palate cleansing Yam Pla Duk Fu (Crispy Catfish with Green Mango and Shallot Salad) and a succulent Sai Oua (Grilled Thai Pork Sausage with lemongrass, kaffir lime, chili, and fish sauce). Suddenly, the night need not be that heavy to begin with, as you begin talking about the latest movies that move the spirit.
Speaking of spirits, an unusual turn of topics brings everyone to discuss ghost stories, bringing goosebumps to even the bravest in the table. Luckily, a very comforting Tom Kha Gai (Chicken in Coconut Milk Soup) stirs the conversation to more mellow and homey discussions like funny road rage incidents and the great outdoors.
And don't forget to get some of that freshly baked Naan Bread! Some are plain, and some are filled with cheese. Put a dollop of some of their signature dips, and watch the stars twinkle just a tad brighter.
The pace heightens as the main courses arrive. Now everyone feels more comfortable talking about anything under the weather as crowd favorites like the Nur Yang Nam Tok (Grilled Tender Beef Striploin with mint, onion, thai chili and lime), Pla Trod (Deep Fried Fish with Lime and Garlic Sauce. This one is a must!), Chicken and Pork Sate, A Cochinillo from Holy Carabao Farms, and some Wok fried water spinach in oyster sauce parade through the table for people to share along with joyous, funny, embarrassing, and uplifting memories. Maybe it's the red wine that was served with the main course? No one knows.
But the night has to end as everyone in the table were so engaged that no one was keeping track of the time. One plate of Crispy Turon, Langka Ice Cream, and Mango Sticky Rice with their trademark Caramel Sauce, and all is well with the evening.
Reality sets in that the lovely evening does not last forever, and that quick escape under the stars draws to a close, a night that you are not sure will happen again. But the great food, stories, and company will be something you will remember for a very long time.
Spices is found inside The Peninsula, Manila, located at the corner of Ayala and Makati Avenue, Makati City, Philippines. Telephone Nos. +632-887-2888 for front desk and ask to be directed to Spices.
May I ask for the rough 'damage'? Maybe for 2? Thanks!
Ok this is very much dependent on what you order. But suffice to say maybe reserve about PHP 2,500 per person.

HMAS Assail (P 89) was an  of the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

Design and construction

The Attack class was ordered in 1964 to operate in Australian waters as patrol boats (based on lessons learned through using the s on patrols of Borneo during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation, and to replace a variety of old patrol, search-and-rescue, and general-purpose craft. Initially, nine were ordered for the RAN, with another five for Papua New Guinea's Australian-run coastal security force, although another six ships were ordered to bring the class to twenty vessels. The patrol boats had a displacement of 100 tons at standard load and 146 tons at full load, were  in length overall, had a beam of , and draughts of  at standard load, and  at full load. Propulsion machinery consisted of two 16-cylinder Paxman YJCM diesel engines, which supplied  to the two propellers. The vessels could achieve a top speed of , and had a range of  at . The ship's company consisted of three officers and sixteen sailors. Main armament was a bow-mounted Bofors 40 mm gun, supplemented by two .50-calibre M2 Browning machine guns and various small arms. The ships were designed with as many commercial components as possible: the Attacks were to operate in remote regions of Australia and New Guinea, and a town's hardware store would be more accessible than home base in a mechanical emergency.

Assail was built by Evans Deakin and Company at Brisbane, Queensland, launched on 18 November 1967, and commissioned on 12 July 1968.

Operational history
Assail paid off on 18 October 1985, and was transferred to the Indonesian Navy and renamed KRI Sigurot (864). The patrol boat was listed in Jane's Fighting Ships as still operational in 2011.

2 | 2021 – A Close Call
by Shelly Kalenius | Feb 1, 2021 | Testimony
As part of our rescue efforts, specially-trained ELM workers monitor key transportation hubs through which recruiters take victims. When the team spots someone who fits certain criteria, they wait for an opportune moment to speak to them. Here is a story of one encounter.
A Cambodian girl sat alone on a bench at the bus station. She looked scared, nervous. After assessing the situation, our team cautiously moved in. Just 16, she'd never traveled outside of her home province before, she told them, but her family was poor and she needed to work to support her them.
Suddenly an older Cambodian woman approached and began asking her questions about our two workers. During this exchange they learned that the girl's version of the story differed from that of the older woman. At that point they separated the two women and conducted independent interviews. They soon discovered that the older woman was known to the people in the community as one who "always came and offered jobs to the young women."
The young girl told our workers she had been taken to several different homes the previous four days, and that they took pictures of her. Of interest was that the victim was given some new clothing and shoes (this is one of many ways traffickers overcome a victim's hesitancy to cooperate). The interception resulted in the girl being returned to her family—happy news! (Photo: A Transit Monitoring worker talks to a woman at a bus station)

Why Condoms Will Not Save Us
by Jane Jimenez - (AgapePress)
Category: Social Issues
HE WASHINGTON TIMES reported last week on a consensus report on sexual health just issued by "wildly divergent political organizations." Yet, in spite of this much-heralded consensus, no agreement was reached on "what constitutes sexual abstinence, responsible sexual behavior, sexual orientation and 'medical accuracy,' such as condom efficacy."
So just what does consensus mean? In truth, it seems we are left with the same splits, divides and disagreements. Consider condoms. Long heralded as the KEY to solving problems associated with teen sex, you would think a national agreement on at least that one issue would exist by now.
Teen parents Dan and Christy* are just two people. I love them. They are personal, they live in my world. But their two lives speak of the millions of children and parents in our country today.
Dan's parents love him. That has never been in doubt. It's just that they couldn't remain in love with each other. As Dan was maturing, he watched his parents argue, separate, reunite and then begin the cycle again -- over and over again. Until one day, his mother sent divorce papers to his father. And it ended.
Dan's mother was determined to make a good life for herself and her two children. She enrolled in a university, gained government assistance, and worked any part-time job she could find. She supported him in his school work, rented movies to watch late at night with Dan and his older sister, and went to all of his basketball games.
Yet, the strain of the family breakup was too much. Dan missed his father, and his sister became ensnared in a cycle of drugs, truancy, and running away. His mother, working hard to deal with each emergency as it happened, was glad Dan seemed to be motivated at school and surrounded by good friends. She just didn't have time to do everything.
Without a father at home, and with a mother and sister caught in a battle of teenage rebellion, Dan took solace in his friendships. And he sought affection in the arms of his high school sweetheart. Dan and Christy only had sex once. But that was enough to create a new life, Allyson.
Today, Allyson is being raised most of the time by her great-grandmother, Christy's grandmother. Christy takes care of Allyson when she is at home. She and Dan broke up right after she knew she was pregnant, and Christy has had a steady string of boyfriends since then, moving in and moving out of her life. And she is pregnant again.
After a paternity test proved Dan to be Allyson's father, the court assigned him a support payment of $100 per month. He felt a sense of duty to meet this payment and began a pizza delivery job, but with his basketball practices and the demands on him as senior class treasurer, Dan finally quit work, and his mom took over the monthly payments.
Dan has just entered college on a basketball scholarship, and he tries to drive home on weekends to spend time with Allyson. He and Christy end up in court periodically to argue over custody arrangements that involve both sets of Allyson's grandparents and her great-grandmother. Dan's parents, both mother and father, along with a sister who has finally settled down, and aunts and uncles who love him, support him in his role as Allyson's father. But it's not easy. Dan's grades last semester were low enough to threaten his scholarship.
And what about Allyson? She just celebrated her first birthday as a bright-eyed toddler.
In only 12 more years, Allyson will herself be a teenager. Meanwhile, who will be the adults in her life to guide her and love her? Will she grow up to seek love in the arms of a high school sweetheart? Will she ever know what it means to have two parents at home, a mother and a father who love and hug each other at night in the kitchen -- a family?
When she enters high school, will a teen pregnancy and a baby create a problem for Allyson? Or might they solve a problem for her? Might a teen pregnancy give Allyson's life a focus, a meaning -- a glimpse of the love and affection that seemed just out of reach in the few short years she had for learning what love and parenting are all about?
Yes, what about Allyson?

It's been about four years since Guillermo del Toro and Disney announced that they were developing a film based on 'The Haunted Mansion,' the classic Disney theme park attraction, but today the director has offered an update on the long-gestating project -- and the good news is that it's definitely still happening.
Two weeks ago, I went back to Disneyland with the executives with whom I am developing the screenplay. It's a hard screenplay to crack. We've done it a few times. We are on our third or fourth draft, with 2 different writing teams, and I think the main thing is to try to combine everything that is great about the ride into the movie, and to make it a really intense but with a sense of fun -- just like the ride.
Del Toro adds that while he's definitely still producing the film, he's unsure if he'll be available to direct, and adds that he "would be happy to just produce it if the timing is not right."
We have developed 50-60 pieces of art. We've developed maquettes of the Hat Box Ghost, over the body and face of Doug Jones, but we have not succeeded yet in cracking the screenplay. I have to believe that Disney will make this movie as soon as we crack the screenplay, but until then we cannot tackle it... We always feel like we are very close, but not yet.
Del Toro's new television series, 'The Strain,' premieres this Sunday on FX, and his new horror film, 'Crimson Peak,' is slated to hit theaters in 2015. He's also currently working on a 'Pacific Rim' sequel, and is involved in the animated series and comic books, as well. And (!) he still hasn't given up hope on making his other passion project, 'At the Mountains of Madness,' making him one awfully busy guy. But at least we know 'The Haunted Mansion' is still in play.

Q: How to integrate Play (web framework), Deadbolt (authorization) and Slick (database access) Briefly: my application uses the Play web framework version 2.5.1.  I want to use the Deadbolt authorization system, and Slick to access the user-authorization information in my database.  How can I do this?  Deadbolt is made specifically for Play, and Play comes with Slick integrated out-of-the-box, so it ought to be possible if not very easy.
Based on "Integrating Deadbolt" from the Deadbolt documentation, I extended the DeadboltHandler trait.  Its abstract getSubject() method seems like the place to do the database query (so says the documentation but without any example).  That method receives as an argument an AuthenticatedRequest and returns the Subject, basically the user-id that was authenticated, along with roles and permissions (authorizations).
I am stuck, because while Play comes with Slick integration, the documentation describes only how to use it from within a Play controller.  (Note I am wanting to do this using dependency injection since using global lookups is deprecated and error-prone)
I am successfully using Deadbolt in my controller to restrict access to certain resources, but the controller seems like the wrong place for Deadbolt to be doing database queries for authorization details (if it were, then the DeadboltHandler would be purposeless).  The controller constructor signature definition looks something like (note the controller accesses the default database that stores web content rather than the authorization database):
class Application @Inject()(
  dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider,
  playConfig: play.api.Configuration,
  deadbolt: DeadboltActions
) extends Controller {

That works.  However, similarly annotating the DeadboltHandler extension with @Inject fails to provide Slick access to the database:
class AuthHandler @Inject()(@play.db.NamedDatabase("auth") dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider)
  extends DeadboltHandler {

the result being
not enough arguments for constructor AuthHandler: (dbConfigProvider: play.api.db.slick.DatabaseConfigProvider)services.AuthHandler.
Unspecified value parameter dbConfigProvider.

Obviously, Play does something special for controllers so that the @Inject annotation works, something of which I lack understanding.  I presume it is in the nature of constructing controllers using an injector rather than the new keyword, but my search through the Play source code has failed to show me what exactly is happening.  If I could find that, perhaps I could mimic that technique to construct a DeadboltHandler.
I see that play comes with classes such as GuiceInjector and GuiceInjectorBuilder, which sound as if they might be part of the solution, but my experimentation has yet failed to show me how, and if there is any documentation on how to use them in the specific context of a DeadboldHandler extension, I am missing it.
I found this previous question: Scala (Play 2.4.x) How to call a class with @inject() annotation, which seems very much on point.  Unfortunately, despite a half-dozen follow-up comments from the original poster, it is yet unanswered.  I feel if I had the answer to that question I would have the answer to this question, though my question is very specific: how to use Play and Deadbolt and Slick with each other (in Scala).
What baffles me most is that this seems like something that ought to be common enough that it would be either mentioned in the documentation or have been asked about already on SO.  My failure to find any such references typically means I am doing something so uniquely wrong that nobody else has ever had occasion to talk about it.  It certainly seems as if it ought to be simple enough that I am optimistically hoping that I am missing something very basic, and I look forward to some kind soul informing me of that knowledge.

A: As you noted in your question, the place to retrieve the user is in DeadboltHandler.getSubject.  You can actually move the database-specific code into its own class, so in this example that's what I've done.
This is a generic implementation of DeadboltHandler; you should be able to drop it into your code and use it pretty much as-is, as the persistence specifics will be dealt with later.
import javax.inject.{Inject, Singleton}

import be.objectify.deadbolt.scala.models.Subject
import be.objectify.deadbolt.scala.{AuthenticatedRequest, DeadboltHandler, DynamicResourceHandler}
import models.{LogInForm, User}
import play.api.mvc.{Request, Result, Results}
import play.twirl.api.HtmlFormat
import views.html.security.denied

import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
import scala.concurrent.Future

@Singleton
class MyDeadboltHandler @Inject() (authSupport: AuthSupport) extends DeadboltHandler {

  override def beforeAuthCheck[A](request: Request[A]): Future[Option[Result]] = Future {None}

  override def getDynamicResourceHandler[A](request: Request[A]): Future[Option[DynamicResourceHandler]] = Future {None}

  /**
    * Get the current user.
    *
    * @param request the HTTP request
    * @return a future for an option maybe containing the subject
    */
  override def getSubject[A](request: AuthenticatedRequest[A]): Future[Option[Subject]] =
    Future {
      request.subject.orElse {
        // replace request.session.get("userId") with how you identify the user
        request.session.get("userId") match {
          case Some(userId) => authSupport.getUser(userId)
          case _ => None
        }
      }}

  /**
    * Handle instances of authorization failure.
    *
    * @param request the HTTP request
    * @return either a 401 or 403 response, depending on the situation
    */
  override def onAuthFailure[A](request: AuthenticatedRequest[A]): Future[Result] = {
    def toContent(maybeSubject: Option[Subject]): (Boolean, HtmlFormat.Appendable) =
      maybeSubject.map(subject => subject.asInstanceOf[User])
      .map(user => (true, denied(Some(user))))
      .getOrElse {(false, views.html.security.logIn(LogInForm.logInForm))}

    getSubject(request).map(maybeSubject => toContent(maybeSubject))
    .map(subjectPresentAndContent =>
      if (subjectPresentAndContent._1) Results.Forbidden(subjectPresentAndContent._2)
      else Results.Unauthorized(subjectPresentAndContent._2))
  }
}

The need to go to the database is now reduced to cases where the subject has not already been placed into the request.  Note the comment about replacing request.session.get("userId") with however you identify the user.
Access to subject persistence is then provided by the AuthSupport class.  This isolates DB access from the DeadboltHandler.  It's pretty simple, mainly because you'll be filling this in with your Slick query.
@Singleton
class AuthSupport @Inject()(dbConfigProvider: DatabaseConfigProvider) {
    // set up your usual Slick support

    // use Slick to get the subject from the database
    def getUser(userId: String): Option[User] = ???
}

To expose this, you'll need to create a module and register it in your application.conf.
import be.objectify.deadbolt.scala.DeadboltHandler
import be.objectify.deadbolt.scala.cache.HandlerCache
import security.{AuthSupport, MyDeadboltHandler, MyHandlerCache}
import play.api.inject.{Binding, Module}
import play.api.{Configuration, Environment}

class CustomBindings extends Module  {
  override def bindings(environment: Environment,
                        configuration: Configuration): Seq[Binding[_]] =
    Seq(
         bind[DeadboltHandler].to[MyDeadboltHandler],
         bind[AuthSupport].toSelf,
         // other bindings, such as HandlerCache
       )
}

Declaring it in application.conf is the usual matter of using play.modules.enabled:
play {
  modules {
    enabled += be.objectify.deadbolt.scala.DeadboltModule
    enabled += modules.CustomBindings
  }
}

Vitamin D May Ease Fibro Pain
Patients who think they are deficient in the nutrient should consult their doctor first, experts say
By Randy Dotinga
FRIDAY, Jan. 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People suffering from the chronic pain of fibromyalgia might benefit from taking vitamin D supplements if they suffer from low levels of the vitamin, a new study from Austria suggests.
There's no cure for fibromyalgia, which can lead to pain, fatigue and several other symptoms, the researchers said. The exact cause of the illness remains unclear.
In the study, researchers led by Dr. Florian Wepner, of Orthopedic Hospital Vienna Speising, sought to discover whether there is a link between a patient's vitamin D levels and the chronic pain of fibromyalgia. Vitamin D often is called the "sunshine vitamin" because it is manufactured by the body through sunlight's activity on the skin.
Wepner's team launched a randomized, controlled trial in 30 women with fibromyalgia who also had low levels of vitamin D. Some of the women took supplements for 25 weeks and then were tracked for another 24 weeks.
Reporting in the February issue of the journal Pain, the researchers said those who took supplements reported less pain and morning fatigue over time than those who did not receive the supplements.
"[Vitamin D] may be regarded as a relatively safe and economical treatment and an extremely cost-effective alternative or adjunct to expensive pharmacological treatment," Wepner said in a journal news release.
Vitamin D levels should be monitored in fibromyalgia patients -- especially in the winter when levels can be lower due to less sun exposure -- and adjusted as necessary, Wepner said.
Although the study was able to find an association between vitamin D supplementation and an easing of fibromyalgia pain, it did not prove a cause-and-effect link.
However, two experts on the illness said the findings make sense.
"Fibromyalgia patients and those with chronic pain should certainly have their vitamin D blood levels checked and, if low, consider supplementation under the guidance of a physician," said Dr. Kiran Patel, a pain medicine specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City who often treats people with fibromyalgia.
Dr. Houman Danesh, director of integrative pain management at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, agreed. "Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to chronic pain, and this study further strengthens the argument to [replenish] vitamin D in deficient individuals," he said.
"It is important to note that these patients were under the care of a physician during the [vitamin] repletion, and that it took months for the benefits to be shown," Danesh said. "This is expected, as vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is stored in fat cells. When a patient has low levels, those stores need to be [replenished], and this takes weeks or months to occur."
Danesh cautioned, however, that people who worry that they are vitamin D-deficient should always check with their doctor before taking supplements. Taking in too much vitamin D can actually be toxic and cause harm, he said.
"Patients should consult their doctor if they think they are deficient or have their levels checked at their next physical," he said.

If you think traffic congestion is bad currently, wait for 20 years. A CDOT study indicates that traffic will increase in Glenwood Springs, 34 percent; in Carbondale, 29 percent, in El Jebel, 40 percent; in Willits, 35 percent; and in Basalt, 34 percent. How fun will that be? We have more tourists than ever visiting our beautiful valleys. Do we want to turn them off due to the traffic congestion? Plan ahead. Vote "Yes" for 7A RFTA Mill Levy Increase. Get the cars off the road equivalent to the 27 percent reduction during the Grand Avenue Bridge detour. We need to increase bus service, replace an aging bus fleet, reduce carbon emissions with electric buses, and have more multi modal options.


The point of this post is quite simple…sending some smiles your way! A common situation I found myself in while in Africa was at the center of a mob of smiling, giggling children. Their joy was so innocent. Beautifully simplistic. And quite contagious. So today I'm sending some of it your way… Happy Monday!

Q: ExtJs versions working toghether I have a big web application working with ExtJs 3.4 and I want to upgrade to ExtJs 4.2.1 but I will do it by modules. Is there any problem if i have working both ExtJs versions working toghether?
Thanks!

A: FWIW I will suggest this is a bad idea.
As the comments to the OP point out, it can be done... however I won't say that it's anywhere near as easy as that guide suggests.
More importantly, you're upgrading to a version (4.2.1) which is more than two years old and NOT the most recent version of that release version (4.2.3). You will also find it difficult to utilize Sencha Cmd in its current form, if that's a concern for you (it should be).
Sencha is set to release Ext JS 6.0 any day now -- so perhaps it would make the most sense to migrate your 3.x code (incompatible with 4.x anyhow) to a more recent version (5.1.x or just wait for 6.0.x).

Braata Productions Goes Online to Raise Funds for Trinidad Tour
Braata Productions, a New York based cultural non-profit, has joined the list of charitable organizations turning to crowdfunding as a means of raising funds. As the organization prepares for its regional summer tour to Trinidad to participate in the New Waves! 2015/Dancing While Black Performance Lab, July 22 to August 1, 2015, the non-profit theater company is seeking to tap the power of social media to meet its fundraising goals.
Proceeds raised from the GoFundMe campaign will go towards defraying accommodation and travel expenses for members of the ensemble of "The Black That I Am", which was selected to participate in the New Waves! 2015/Dancing While Black Performance Lab, co-curated by New Waves! Director, Makeda Thomas and Paloma McGregor, Director of Dancing While Black, and produced through the New Waves! Commission Project. The group is expected to depart New York for Port of Spain, Trinidad on Friday, July 24, 2015.
The New Waves! 2015/Dancing While Black Performance Lab is a manifestation of the New Waves! Commission Project, which has offered a presenting platform for dance artists in the Caribbean since 2012. Selected artists are invited to work during the course of New Waves! 2015, from 22 July to 1 August, with New Waves! faculty, guests, participants and the local community.
"We are excited to have been selected to participate in New Waves! 2015 in Trinidad and believe our presence will go a far way towards strengthening the regional ties. More and more it has become increasingly difficult for organizations like ours to carry out our mission, however, as we kick off this campaign we know we can count on the support of the Caribbean community and the wider Diaspora in helping us achieve our fundraising goal," said Andrew Clarke, founder of Braata Productions.
The trip to Trinidad marks Braata Theatre Workshop's first foray on the international scene following the Braata Folk Singers' trip to Canada in early 2013. Now in its sixth year, the cultural non-profit believes this move signals a broadening of the reach of the company and it is hoped that this will be the fuel that ignites similar tours to the Caribbean, Canada and Europe.

Historian: Trump is our ignorant worse president that not even time could rehabilitate his history.
By: Egberto Willies
Tagged: could, historian, ignorant, president, rehabilitate, trump, worse
Presidential Historian Michael Beschloss did not mince his words as he made it clear that there'll be no Trump rehabilitation, unlike other presidents.
Historian excoriates the president
See full episodes here.
The host, Mehdi Raza Hasan, asked Michael Beschloss if presidents are concerned about their legacy. He said they are. How?
"They do it in terms of, you know, what can I do to make this country better so that 50 years from now people will say this is something that this president did that was distinctive, and maybe he did it against his own selfish political self-interest," Beschloss said. "Hard to think of the case where Donald Trump has ever done that. "
"Harry Truman once said he couldn't imagine a president who does not read history because the only way a president, he said, can get any benefit from all the successes and failures of earlier presidents and earlier citizens is to know where they succeeded and failed in history," Beschloss continued. "He said that every reader would not be a leader, but every leader must be a reader. If Truman came back and saw a president as completely ignorant and indifferent to history as Donald Trump, I think he would have been shocked."
Later the host would balk at the historians not already considering Trump the worse ever. Beschloss edged but confirmed in his own way that Trump is, in fact, the worse by itemizing his failures.
"Well, a historian has to always account for the possibility that 50 years later, a president would look better in some ways than he did to his own generation," Beschloss edged. "That having been said, Donald Trump is not going to change the record. He was largely responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans who did not need to die, millions of others who suffered from COVID who did not need to suffer, and economic calamity that is afflicting people tonight in a way that is not going to be alleviated by six hundred dollars or two thousand dollars, while the president sits in Palm Beach and the vice president sits in Vail on a ski slope, and the secretary of the treasury is in Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. This is really Nero's fiddling while Rome burns."

Former Guyanese AG, Sir Fenton Ramsahoye passes on
Former Guyanese Attorney General and legal luminary, Sir Fenton Ramsahoye died in Barbados on Thursday at the age of 89. Ramsahoye was a Guyanese lawyer and politician who served for over 20 years in Antigua and Barbuda.He studied at London University where he was awarded his BA in 1949 and LLB, LLM in 1953 and 1956 respectively. He was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn on February 10, 1953 and was awarded a PhD in Comparative Land Law from London School of Economics and Political Science in 1959.Ramsahoye was at the forefront of the independence movement. In 1961, he was elected a Member of Parliament of Guyana and remained in Parliament until 1973. He was the Attorney General of Guyana from 1961 to 1964 under the Cheddi Jagan-led People's Progressive Party and a member of Board of Governors of the University of Guyana from 1962 to 1964.As of 2006, he held the record for making the most appearances before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the Caribbean. Ramsahoye was appointed Senior Counsel in Guyana in 1971. From 1972 to 1975 he was Deputy Director of Legal Education for the Council of Legal Education in the West Indies and head of Hugh Wooding Law School as a professor.Ramsahoye was a Queen's Counsel and a member of the Bars of England and Wales, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, the territories of the Eastern Caribbean including Montserrat, and the British Virgin Islands. He was knighted in 2006 by Governor General, Sir James Carlisle during a ceremony at Government House in Antigua.In a statement issued by the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), it stated that it mourns the passing of Sir Ramsahoye, noting that Guyana has lost a great asset to the legal fraternity.DPP Shalimar Hack said Ramsahoye was a great legal legend of Guyana, the Region and the Commonwealth. He served selflessly throughout the Commonwealth Caribbean Region particularly at the Privy Council and the Caribbean Court of Justice."He distinguished himself academically and subsequently in his practise at the Bar especially at the final Courts of Appeal for the Region, The Privy Council and the Caribbean Court of Justice. While doing so he also served his native country as its first local Attorney General with distinction. So distinguished was his service that he was knighted by the Head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth," she noted in her statement.Reminiscing, the DPP said despite having knowledge of Ramsahoye's failing health, his death still came as a shock. She explained that he appeared for the State in many criminal appeals at the Caribbean Court of Justice, the most recent being the case of Mark Royden Williams and James Anthony Hyles, more commonly referred to as the Lusignan Massacre case."The legal community, especially in the Caribbean Commonwealth Region has lost a human encyclopedia where legal matters are concerned, be it criminal, civil or constitutional. He was a bottomless well when it came to the law which he expounded from his memory, including the history of the law. Despite being well versed in many areas of the law he was always willing to learn about new aspects. I saw this with him with the introduction of modern anti-money laundering laws. His writing and eloquence is another aspect to be recognised, commended, remembered and emulated. He is truly an icon in the law. He had a command of the understanding of the law and applied it with diligence, astute finesse and integrity," she noted.In addition, the Bar Association of Guyana hailed Ramsahoye's commitment to the practice of law."For over 50 years, since the publication of his treatise 'The Development of Land Law in British Guiana' in 1966 when he was 37 years old, lawyers have been thumbing its pages as the standard text on land law in Guyana.Regionally, Sir Fenton has been earning acclaim since the 1970s in the area of human rights in the many cases argued by him at the regional appellate level and in the Privy Council in England from a variety of Caribbean countries. Since the establishment of the Caribbean Court of Justice in 2005 and until recently, Sir Fenton utilised his considerable legal skills in representing litigants in the region's highest Court," the Bar Association said.Meanwhile, his Excellency David Granger extends heartfelt condolences at the passing of Sir Fenton Harcourt Ramsahoye."Sir Fenton, who passed away earlier today in Barbados at the age of 89, was a distinguished Guyanese attorney who authored the book, The Development of Land Law in British Guiana", a missive from the Government stated.Ramsahoye passed away of natural causes. Throughout the Caribbean, governments hailed Ramsahoye's commitment to the practice of law while mourning his death. read more

Track & Field Alum Reed Fischer Returns To the Blue Oval For USA Championship
However, those 25 laps will be some of the most significant turns around the Blue Oval that Fischer has made. But for Fischer, the USA Championship takes on particular significance as he returns to the track where he won a Drake Relays title in the 5,000 meters in 2017 as a collegian and defended that title this year as a professional athlete. "When you think about the scope of it … it's the USA Championships. It's the biggest stage for an athlete like me to be on," Fischer said. "It's a weird juxtaposition of feeling back home and competing against the country's best." "I'm a lot fresher mentally and physically and more confident than last year," Fischer said of his mindset for the USA Championships. "I'm a lot more comfortable in this field, and I know the caliber of runner I am this year. I feel like I belong instead of being the guy who snuck in. I've got some big goals and things I want to accomplish. Hopefully, it is a good night and I can let it rip." Fischer, who is from Minnetonka, Minn., will race in the 10,000 meters Thursday evening at 7:40 p.m. in what is his second appearance at a USA Championship. In addition to the comfort of running in front of friends and family on a track that he has logged hundreds of miles on, Fischer has that benefit of a year of experience and professional training in 2018. That senior season earned him a berth in the 2017 USA Championship in Sacramento, Calif., and many lessons he carried forth in his first season as a professional. During his senior season at Drake, Fischer won three MVC titles and set three school records, including one at the Drake Relays, en route to qualifying for and finishing ninth in the 10,000 meters at the 2017 NCAA Championships. Fischer blossomed in his four years at Drake, continually improving and growing into one of the nation's top runners. In fact, he finished higher at the NCAA Championships as a senior than he ever did as a high schooler at the Minnesota State championship. That training and transition from collegian to professional will come full circle Thursday evening when Fischer returns to the Blue Oval as one of the nation's top runners. "Last year at the USA Championships, it was my fifth 10k of the season," Fischer said. "It's a grueling event, and you can only run well in a handful of them. Last year when I got in [to the USA Championship], it was a matter of going and getting the experience. It was a cool experience as a wide-eyed kid racing against Olympians." Following his race, Fischer and his Tinman Elite teammates will remain in Des Moines to conduct an informal meet and greet at Fitness Sports, the running specialty store Fischer worked at while at Drake. The event begins at 7:30 p.m. Print Friendly Version "To forge a team in months and walk away as winners like that legitimized what we were doing," Fischer said. "We've made the team into our own, and between the four guys on our roster, we take a lot of ownership and have created our own mission statement, values and culture. We want this to grow into something bigger than ourselves." "It's always interesting coming back to the place I ran day in and day out for four years," Fischer said. "It's very calming to come back to this place and know that it's just 25 more laps around a track I've run hundreds of laps on." In Fischer's last race on the Blue Oval, he successfully defended his title in the 5,000 meters in 13:53.32 by leading the final four laps of the race. Twelve months prior, he became the most recent Drake student-athlete to win a Drake Relays title with a late kick in front of an energized Drake Stadium crowd to earn a Relays flag. Reed Fischer, an All-American who won three Missouri Valley Conference titles and set three school records at Drake, is one of the hundreds of athletes set to compete at the USA Track & Field Championships this week at Drake Stadium. "It will be an awesome experience for it to feel like a home race despite being a USA Championship," Fischer said. "I have family coming down and people I know from my four years at Drake supporting me. That's something I have in my corner some of the guys I'll be racing against won't have." Since then, Fischer moved to Boulder, Colo., to join Tinman Elite, an upstart team coached by Tim Schwartz. The fledgling team has already made its presence known in track and field circles by winning the USA Cross Country team title in December against more established clubs with significant sponsorship. Learn more about Tinman Elite. "I wasn't a guy who just went to class and ran track," Fischer said of his four years in Des Moines. "I worked part-time and was involved in a bunch of clubs that stretched out my time. Having that experience made the transition to a full-time job and training a lot easier than I thought it would be." While professionally training, Fischer works full time as the marketing and communication coordinator for the Colorado Mountain Club, an organization that has been delivering conservation, education and recreational opportunities to the Colorado public since 1912. Training as a professional and working full time is a challenge that would test the most seasoned athlete, but Fischer has used his experience from Drake to maximize the opportunity and challenge in front of him. read more

The Zionist entity has been in panic since the Russian military police forces were deployed along two de-escalation areas in Syria to monitor the truce.
The cease-fire which was negotiated by the Russians and the Americans in these areas of south-western Syria, not far from the Jordanian and Israeli borders, came into force on July 9th.
Subsequently, two checkpoints and 10 watch posts were deployed on July 21st and July 22nd "along the approved areas for lines of contact" between terrorist group forces and Syrian army troops.
"It is to be stressed that the nearest watch post is 13 kilometers from the separation zone between Israel and Syria, near the Golan Heights. The zone has been approved in accordance with international agreements," said Rudskoy, adding that Moscow had informed Israel, the United States and Jordan about the deployment.
The Russians reportedly deployed 800 soldiers on the Syrian borders with the occupied Golan and 400 others on the Jordanian borders. All this was done without taking into account the Israeli demands.
This has provoked a major dissatisfaction for the Zionist entity who sees that Russia as well as the United States are showing "complete indifference" to Israel's repeated security demands on these de-escalation zones in Southern Syria.
These Zionist demands seemed unrealistic due to the fact that they were disconnected from the reality of what was going on the ground. The demands were as follows: the withdrawal of all forces linked to Iran and Hezbollah from southern Syria or elsewhere on Syrian soil, the deployment of non-Russian observers and experts by Israel in the south, and the refusal for any type of restructuring for the Syrian army.
Tel Aviv had strongly contested the Russian-American agreement that had been sealed during the meeting between presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Hamburg. The reason for this refusal was that the agreement did not adequately address Israel's perceptions of the threat of the Iranian and Hezbollah presence in the southwestern regions of Syria.
Israel would have liked the implementation of the de-escalation zone near the Golan Heights to be done by the United States rather than by Russia since Israel has no confidence in Russia due to its alliance with the armed forces of the Golan Heights and the Axis of the Resistance.
It is thus a strategic setback for the Zionist entity who, until now, controlled this border area by interposed terrorists. Indeed, it is no longer a secret that the Zionist criminal regime has always supported (if not directed) the jihadist groups of ISIS in the areas where the de-escalation zone has been set up; Israel even supported them militarily whenever they were attacked by the Syrian army.
Today, Tel Aviv understands that the situation has changed to its disadvantage, and that the Resistance Axis forces are well established not far from its borders, which raises serious fear and anger in the colonial entity.
If the Zionist criminal regime is aware that it is incapable of countering the Russian and American will, it affirms its determination not to stand empty handed. Indeed, Israel has threatened Russia and the United States to take action and act in southern Syrian if both sides continued to ignore its demands.
These threats that have not been to the liking of Russia, who responded through the voice of General Alexey Kozin, the number two person in the Russian Forces Command Center in southern Syria.
The Anti-Zionist Party welcomes the Russian deployment not far from the borders of the Zionist entity in the Golan region.
This area, which Israel had previously used as a buffer zone to protect itself from the Axis of the Resistance, is now under Russian supervision, allied to this Axis of Justice.
This is a dreadful backlash which counteracts all the Zionist plots in the region which aim at annihilating the forces of the Axis of the Resistance who, on the contrary, believes that it is reinforcing and establishing itself in a solid and stable way around the criminal entity that is now within its crosshairs.
This presence also marks the collapse of the Zionist dream of territorial expansion in southwestern Syria as part of a "Greater Israel" which is nothing but an illusion.

Journey to Britannia: From the Heart of Rome to Hadrian's Wall, AD 130
by admin January 31, 2015 Britain
Bronwen Riley
ISBN: B00KFDQYJ8
It is AD 130. Rome is the dazzling heart of a vast empire and Hadrian its most complex and compelling ruler. Faraway Britannia is one of the Romans' most troublesome provinces: here the sun is seldom seen and 'the atmosphere in the country is always gloomy'.
What awaits the traveller to Britannia? How will you get there? What do you need to pack? What language will you speak? How does London compare to Rome? Are there any tourist attractions? And what dangers lurk behind Hadrian's new Wall?
Combining an extensive range of Greek and Latin sources with a sound understanding of archaeology, Bronwen Riley describes an epic journey from Rome to Hadrian's Wall at Britannia's - and the empire's - northwestern frontier. In this strikingly original snapshot of Roman Britain, she brings vividly to life the smells, sounds, colours and textures of travel in the second century AD.

European champion Laura Muir to run the Vitality Westminster mile
by FR Newsdesk April 2, 2019
Photo: European Athletics via Getty Images
Laura Muir will begin a summer season which she hopes will end in World Championships glory at the Vitality Westminster Mile.
The Scottish middle-distance star, who won two gold medals at last month's European Indoor Championships, will race in the iconic mile race held in the heart of London on Sunday 26 May.
The race, which doubles as the British Athletics One Mile Road Championships, starts on The Mall and finishes in front of Buckingham Palace.
Muir said: "I ran the very first Westminster Mile in the early stages of my career and I really enjoyed it. Running in London is always special and I'm really excited to be coming back to make my first appearance at the Vitality Westminster Mile since 2013."
Muir won both the 1500m and 3000m at the European Indoor Championships last month, making it a 'double double' after she also won gold medals over both distances at the 2017 European Indoor Championships.
She won a gold medal in the 1500m at the outdoor European Championships in Berlin last year and has won the Diamond League 1500m title twice (2016 and 2018).
Third fastest British female over a mile on road of all time
The Dundee Hawkhill Harrier is the fastest British female ever over 1500m (3:55:22) and is the third fastest Brit over a mile on the roads (4:18.4). The current British record for the road mile is 4:17:06 set by Laura Weightman in New York in 2017.
More than 8,000 people are expected to take part in the Vitality Westminster Mile this year in waves held throughout the day. As well as the racing, the event features the Vitality Wellness Festival in Green Park with a huge range of free family-friendly activities during the day, including coaching sessions in a wide range of sports and the giant Tumbleator.
Last year Melissa Courtney, who finished third behind Muir in the 3000m at last month's European Indoor Championships, was the senior women's race winner and Chris O'Hare, the silver medallist in the men's 3000m at the European Indoor Championships, won the senior men's race.
The Vitality Westminster Mile is the world's biggest timed mile event with races for all ages and abilities, from families to adults, schools, wheelchairs, Masters and Olympians. Entry for children aged 11 and under is free. Entry for adults is £8 and for children between 12 and 18, entry is £6 with a £1 reduction for Westminster residents. To enter, click here.

Theatre at work
Behavioural Safety
Ervia have recently developed an overall Safety, Health and Wellbeing strategy under the brand 'Work Safe Home Safe'. We recently ran launch sessions for all staff which incorporated an interactive workshop ('the Mousehole') run by Annette and her team. We wanted to focus on the themes of leadership, personal responsibility, culture, risk taking and intervention and the workshops were a great success with unprecedented levels of staff participation and engagement. Feedback from participants after the event was overwhelmingly positive. The approach taken by Annette and the team was professional, engaging and refreshing.
Paul Lennon
Head of HSQE, Gas Networks Ireland, Ervia
I have worked with Annette on delivering theatre-based training for our CIF members. It was very well received and the feedback on the learning outcomes was fantastic. Annette provides a very professional service and her team really make the audience feel they are on the scene, making the whole learning that more real. I would have no difficulty in recommending Annette and her team in delivering her professional services to the safety community.
Robert Butler
Head of Training and Development, Construction Industry Federation
Annette has partnered on several occasions with GSK to provide innovative communication skills training to our customer facing employees. Her creative and unique approach ensures full engagement from all participants and the training interventions were very successful and memorable.
Talent, Leadership and Organisational Development, GlaxoSmithKline Ireland
The impact on some of the seasoned, sceptical supervisors who attended our behavioural safety events had to be seen to be believed. Several hardened foremen approached me to say it was the most powerful training event they had ever attended, and that they had changed aspects of their approach as a result. The wider feedback reflected such comments. Annette is a skilled facilitator who gets great interaction going on the day, but, importantly, she also puts the real effort in beforehand by getting the script details and acting just right, so that it is believable to the audience. This, in my view is fundamental to the success of this technique.
