Aakash, the $35 tablet coming to Philadelphia?
Executive vice president of Wilco Electronics, Brigitte Daniel, and last year visited India to see and understand the working of the tablet and is learnt to be quite interested in the project. She mentioned in an email that since her visit her company is currently in the stages of exploring a relationship with the Government of India and DataWind, the company responsible for designing and distributing the tablet.
She also added that she will be meeting the DataWind in early April and hopes to establish conclusively details about this matter. Wilco is primarily known for its primary cable and internet provider for Philadelphia Housing Authority projects and is focused on serving low income Philadelphians. So with Aakash they also seem to target the schools and under-served communities.
She also believes that apart from Philadelphia the Aakash tablet will also have a lot of demand across whole of US. She also believes that it could potentially make an impact within the US National Broadband plans to bridge the digital divide for under-served communities, schools and low-income communities.

Throughout the school year Mr. Holman's and Mr. Pennington's 7th grade social studies class studied many topics. We decided to create a digital textbook to share what we have learned. This textbook is about the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. We studied a large span of history, which included many diverse topics, including: Pre-History, Stone Age, Rome, Greece, Egypt, and China, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Method, and the spread of Christianity. Our class decided the Middle Ages and the Renaissance were the most interesting. The main purpose with this textbook is to share our knowledge.

Varieties: Negroamaro, Malvasia Bianca, Primitivo, Susumaniello
Total area: 110 hectars
Altitude: At sea level
Soil quality: Sandy
8 kilometres north of Brindisi, the vineyards of the Jaddico estate extend along the Adriatic coastline, divided by the Giancòla canal. The plants, a mix of Guyot-trained, spur cordon and bush-trained vines established at a density ranging between 5000 and 6000 plants per hectare, grow on limestone-rich soil made loose by the presence of sand which ensures a well-developed root system and optimal water drainage. A portion of the vineyard is located close to the sea, close to the nature reserve of Torre Guaceto and the beaches of Punta Penne.
The pedoclimatic conditions of the Jaddico Estate make it an excellent wine-making terroir: it is here that the Susumaniello Project was first launched and has grown through the years alongside a rich heritage of native varieties such as Malvasia Bianca, Primitivo and Negroamaro – all thriving thanks to the optimal sun exposure they receive and their proximity to the sea.
Harvesting times on the estate range from the first ten days of August to the first decade of October, the time when the last bunches of Susumaniello are picked. For the most part, harvesting is carried out by hand, especially by women, true guardians of this ancient agricultural practice. Attention to detail that goes hand in hand with our care for the environment, as the company adheres to the principles of Integrated Production with a reduced environmental impact.
The Giancòla Canal
On the coastline north of Brindisi, perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, a Saracen tower still stands today, a surviving testimony of a history that has shaped Salento's landscape since ancient times. To this day Torre Testa, erected here in the 16th century, is a natural landmark overlooking the sea, reached by the Giancòla canal which cuts through the Brindisi countryside for about 8 km from its source, located close to the farming estate of Marmorelle. Originally, its complete name was Torre delle Teste di Gallico, which the locals contracted into "Jaddico", derived by the ancient Langobardic word for 'forest', wald – attesting the rich vegetation that covered the area and also the many civilizations it has been home to.
The name of the canal is a tribute to the ancient owner of a farmhouse built here in the sixteenth century, Giovanni Nicola Villanova, it is believed to result from a combination of his two Christian names: Gian-Cola. An area that owes its age-old agricultural vocation to the abundance of water: here, the Romans established a booming viticultural centre and a mosaic of vineyards famous for producing the finest wines of the empire, as evidenced by the locally manufactured earthenware amphorae found by archaeologists. Traces of human settlement in the region date back to prehistoric time, as attested by archaeological evidence from the Palaeolithic and the Bronze Age. The availability of fresh water and food, easily sourced in an area so rich in wildlife (including the abundance of fish in the nearby sea) facilitated the formation of early communities. Today, thanks to the presence of habitats such as the Mediterranean salt meadows and temporary ponds, the mouth of the Giancòla canal has been declared an EU site of community importance.
The Giancòla canal fans out forming small ponds of water before flowing into the sea near Torre Testa, the soil here is mostly loamy and clayey in composition, very rich in humus and often interested by secondary clayification phenomena. The area is covered in rushes, giving it a marshy appearance. Many plant species grow along the banks of the canal, such as spiny rushes and black sedges, with the addition of many plants typical of the Mediterranean shrub-land, such as the lentiscus, the holly oak and the Phillyrea.
There are many more plant species that benefit from the presence of the canal: hairy pink, spotted rock-rose, figwort and several types of orchids of the genus Ophrys and Serapias, without forgetting the very common Ericaforskalii, a kind of heather native to the area, and the chasteberry. Moving closer to the sea, the landscape of cliffs and coastal sand dunes hosts a typically Mediterranean wildlife with its abundance of sea-lavender, glasswort and spurge. Finally, 80 metres away from the mouth of the Giancòla canal, the sea bed is a veritable grassland of Posidonia Oceanica, a seagrass which plays a fundamental role in protecting the coastline from erosion.
The pleasant banks of the Giancòla canal with their dense coverage of reeds are home to many water birds such as coots and moorhens, little grebes and egrets, grey herons, but also little bitterns and mallard ducks. The reeds are also the perfect hiding place for the very elusive water rail, and the perfect place to hear the rare song of the bush warbler. High up in the sky, marsh harriers survey the stream and surrounding vegetation, their hunting ground, populated by tree frogs, green toads and grass snakes.
The wetlands at the mouth of the stream are home to the European pond turtle, protected by the Habitats Directive and several international conventions. As we pause to look across the valley, to its slopes covered in Mediterranean shrub-land, we can easily spot the nests of birds such as blackcaps, and several types of finches and warblers, while kestrel falcons hover in the sky looking for prey. As we walk through the tall grass, it is common to find what look like paths drawn in the ground, they have been created by the passage of foxes and badgers.
The Archaeological site
From as early as the 1st century BC, the land that is now home to the vineyards of Jaddico and Marmorelle was at the heart of a thriving viticultural tradition. The entire agricultural holding once belonged to Visellius, a cousin of Cicero, an influential player in ancient Rome's political scene of the time. In this region, Visellius presided over a remarkable production of grapes and a thriving wine trade, as evidenced by the archaeological excavations undertaken in the 1980s which brought to light two sites of exceptional value: one in Giancòla, in today's estate of Jaddico and another in what is now Marmorelle.
The excavations also brought to light a manor house, a cellar, a marble statue of the god Bacchus, and the kilns employed to manufacture the amphorae used to store and export wine across the entire Roman empire. A very important production, as attested by the amphorae found not only along the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coastline, but also across Western Europe and in the eastern Mediterranean as far as the Black Sea. A very important production hub believed to have been abandoned in the second half of the 1st century BC, perhaps due to the civil wars of the time, and to have become operational again in the Augustan age, under the management of freedmen such as Petronius Sostratus and Marcius Saturninus, who oversaw the work on behalf of their masters.
The Amphorae
Since the early 1980s, archaeologists have unearthed ancient amphorae, kilns and an artificial mound composed of broken and discarded clay pottery, mostly dating back to the late Republican era and the Augustan age.
According to the archaeologists' hypotheses, kilns were established in places where clay was widely available. The slaves who worked here would shape the handles first, stamp each one and then attach them to the body of the amphora: this is why we often find the imprints left by the potter's fingers as he fixed the two handles to the vessel. The firing took place in the kiln over several days; the amphorae were then left to cool before the roof of the kiln was broken up and dismantled.
It is estimated that a 70 cubic-meter kiln could hold as many as one thousand amphorae arranged on seven or eight levels and that every firing required 50 tons of wood. On the site of Giancòla, located a little further south on the eastern side of a canal, which was navigable at the time and equipped with a docking structure, a large number of amphorae were found, bearing the seals of Apollonides, Archelia and Philippus, the names of the slaves who worked on the plants owned by Visellius in the first century BC. On what was once the production site we find two large rectangular and one circular-shaped furnace, with underground combustion chambers surmounted by a raised perforated floor and a large chamber where the amphorae were placed ahead of firing.
The kilns were covered by a heat-resistant vault which could be removed after each firing. The furnaces located in Marmorelle, also served by the Giancòla canal, were the property of Visellius as well. Here, in addition to numerous earthenware remains, four more rectangular kilns were uncovered.

BMW plans massive cost cuts to keep profits from sputtering
BMW plans massive cost cuts to keep profits from sputtering /node/1469721/business-economy
BMW's total number of employees is set to remain flat at around 135,000 worldwide, and new recruits would be IT specialists. (AFP)
'Our business model must remain a profitable one in the digital era,' chief executive Harald Krueger said
Total number of employees is set to remain flat at around 135,000 worldwide
MUNICH: German high-end carmaker BMW warned Wednesday it expects pre-tax profits "well below" 2018 levels this year as it announced a massive cost-cutting scheme aimed at saving $13.6 billion (€12 billion) in total by 2022.
A spokesman said that "well below" could indicate a tumble of more than 10 percent.
The Munich-based group's 2019 result will be burdened with massive investments needed for the transition to electric cars, exchange rate headwinds and rising raw materials prices, it said in a statement.
Meanwhile it must pump more cash into measures to meet strict European carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions limits set to bite from next year.
And a one-off windfall in 2018's results will create a negative comparison, even though pre-tax profits already fell 8.1 percent last year.
Bosses expect a "slight increase" in sales of BMW and Mini cars, with a slightly fatter operating margin that will nevertheless fall short of their 8.0-percent target.
"We will continue to implement forcefully the necessary measures for growth, continuing performance increases and efficiency," finance director Nicolas Peter said at the group's annual press conference.
BMW aims to achieve €12 billion of savings in the coming years through "efficiency improvements" including reducing the complexity of its range.
"Our business model must remain a profitable one in the digital era," chief executive Harald Krueger said.
This year, most new recruits at the group will be IT specialists, while the total number of employees is set to remain flat at around 135,000 worldwide.
Departures from the sizeable fraction of the workforce born during the post-World War II baby boom and now reaching retirement age "will allow us to adapt the business even more to future topics," BMW said.
All the firm's forecasts are based on London and Brussels reaching a deal for an orderly Brexit and the United States foregoing new import taxes on European cars.
"Developments in tariffs" remain "a significant factor of uncertainty" in looking to the future, finance chief Peter said, adding that "the preparations for the UK's exit from the EU will weigh on 2019's results as well."
In annual results released ahead of schedule last Friday, BMW blamed trade headwinds and new EU emissions tests for net profits tumbling 16.9 percent in 2018, to €7.2 billion.

I followed up with Mike Kimberl of Sean's Outpost about the threat of an injunction from Escambia County Commissioners. He sat down to discuss the little he knows about the situation and elaborated on other events regarding the City of Pensacola's role in curbing homelessness. Hint: it's about what you would expect from a city trying to save face after being nationally known as the place who steals blankets from the homeless.
Also, we found video of the commissioners inquiring on how to replace and possibly terminate the special magistrate that ruled in our favor at the emergency hearing in January. While I am uncertain as to the legality of their conversation, I am certain that it is unethical to replace a magistrate just because she didn't side 100% with the county. In her most recent ruling, Sean's Outpost was permitted to allow campers to remain on the property as they went through the permitting process but had to allow (and pay for) a health inspector and county code enforcer to inspect the property weekly. While the team was disappointed, they have been compliant and the ruling was an objective middle ground with no reason to believe she favored us far more than the county. This is a segment from the longer meeting which discussed other local but unrelated issues.
I also wanted to give a special thanks to Derrick J of Peace News Now, The Angel Clark Show, and The Bitcoin Group for covering this issue on air immediately after I sent him the notice. He had me come on live to explain the news and read the previous blog post in its entirety. Derrick is an awesome person and invaluable source of breaking news that is meaningful and relevant to protecting our rights. He is always able to remain positive in the face of adversity and reminded listeners in this video of the accomplishments Sean's Outpost achieved in the past year.

China's WJ-700 drone completes maiden flight, 'creates new drone combat pattern'
By Deng Xiaoci and Liu Xuanzun Published: Jan 13, 2021 06:48 PM

China's WJ-700, a high-altitude, long-endurance and high-speed armed reconnaissance drone said to be able to create a new pattern for drone combat, successfully conducted a maiden flight test recently, as military experts said the unmanned aircraft is characterized by its large payload and ability to launch large munitions from outside hostile anti-aircraft fire coverage zone.
The drone integrates high altitude, high speed, long endurance and large load capacities, and focuses on the domestic and international market needs in the next five to 10 years, according to a statement the Third Academy of the state-owned arms firm China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp (CASIC) sent to the Global Times on Wednesday.
The maiden flight test, which took place early Monday morning, verified the correctness and feasibility of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system, laying the foundation for future production of the model, the academy told the Global Times.
The WJ-700 is the only high-altitude, high-speed and long-endurance drone capable of executing both attack and reconnaissance missions in China, and is also a rare type in the world, the academy said.
It is capable of performing air-to-surface precision strikes in multiple situations such as stand-off ground attacks, anti-ship, and anti-radiation attacks, the statement said, noting that it will create a new pattern for drone combat.
Compared to other popular drones, the distinguishing characteristic of the WJ-700 is its large size, meaning it has an outstanding payload capacity that allows it to carry larger munitions like anti-ship missiles and stand-off weapons that enable the drone to launch attacks from outside of an enemy anti-aircraft fire coverage zone, Wei Dongxu, a Beijing-based military expert, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
Key tactical and even strategic battlefield hubs, including radar installations, warships and command centers could be targets of the WJ-700, analysts said.
The WJ-700 could deliver diverse combat missions in high-threat battlefield environments with its precision combat and wide-area reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities, the academy said.
After completing various system-level tests and verifications, it will be officially put into combat applications, it added.
The Global Times learned from the developer that the WJ-700 UAV adopts a number of advanced technologies, and key performance indicators such as endurance, range and payload capacity have reached the domestic leading and international advanced level of UAVs of the similar caliber.
CASIC first disclosed the WJ-700 at Airshow China in Zhuhai in November 2018.
Based on a poster at the 2018 Zhuhai event, the WJ-700 has a maximum take-off weight of 3,500 kilograms, with a maximum endurance of 20 hours.
It is estimated that Chinese military-use UAV sales would take up around 25 percent of the global UAV market by 2024, or 17 billion yuan ($2.6 billion). The total revenue of Chinese military-use drones is expected to exceed 110 billion yuan in the next 10 years, the People's Liberation Army publicity department wrote in an article on its WeChat public account on Tuesday.

Then it is the turn of Cordelia – youngest of the three sisters – whose disinclination to flaunt her filial affection has already been expressed sotto voce ('Love, and be silent'). Refusing to speak she returns to her place. Finally, asked what she has to say to win an opulent share, she says, 'Nothing', twice.
Nothing – never-dying nothingness – informs Neil Armfield's production of William Shakespeare's masterpiece. Nothing, as Lear tells his unresponsive daughter, will come of nothing – darkest of his prophecies.
Tony Tanner, lexically attentive as ever in his masterly prefaces for Everyman's Library, notices how often the word 'nothing' is used:
The word becomes increasingly ominous and it is as if we are watching the world of the play being infiltrated with 'nothingness' – indeed, actively serving to install it, a world literally an-nihil-ating itself. It is a spectacle almost to freeze you – a world turning, returning, itself to 'nothing'.

King Lear has been performed and interpreted in myriad ways, with all kinds of directorial approaches: Christian, humanist, psychoanalytic, post-structuralist, new-historicist and so forth. Armfield, scrupulous with the text, accentuates the philosophical obsessions and terrors that fill the play. Nihilism underpins the action and, to different degrees, motivates the various players.

Despite the boisterous opening, loss is soon enthroned – loss of kingdom and stature, loss of father, loss of daughter, loss of loathed or homicidal siblings, loss of sight, loss of mind, loss of will even – though not, ultimately and importantly, of feeling.
Armfield's Camelot conceit gives the performance an electrifying start. Shakespeare, of course, hurls us into the internecine court without niceties or preambles. 'I thought the King had more affected the Duke of Albany than Cornwall,' says Kent. Instantly we know we are in a world of vulnerability and favouritism, partiality and unpredictableness. We sense a long history of disharmony in the family. Much has gone on before, including violence perhaps; the women flinch at their father's approach.
The rivalrous older sisters know that Cordelia is their father's true 'joy'. Cordelia herself is conspicuously self-righteous. Even dishonoured, disowned, Cordelia is queenly (the king of France recognises this and immediately marries her, despite her poverty). She won't sing for her supper or her inheritance, but she maligns her sisters in public and beseeches Lear to vindicate her reputation. (Stubborn as Cordelia, Lear replies: 'Better thou / Hadst not been born than not t'have pleased me better.')
Any illusions about character have long since crumbled in this family. Goneril and Regan – newly favoured – agree that their father 'hath ever but slenderly known himself'. They speak of the 'infirmity of his age' and 'the imperfections of long-ingraffed condition'.
There are no mothers in this world – and there will be no more children. It is a kind of dystopia. At the end of the play we are left with an exclusively masculine world, and our author depicts it with none of the sly relish of an Alan Hollinghurst.
Geoffrey Rush's Lear (his début in the role) is at first a petulant and egotistical ogre. 'Come not between the dragon and his wrath,' he warns Kent. The transformation in this martinet is profound. Rush conveys Lear's rising helplessness and incomprehension, especially in the scene with Goneril when it dawns on him that his omnipotence is over; that the Fool was right when he dubbed him 'an O without a figure'. All he is left with is his contumelious rhetoric, of which there are many examples (e.g. to Goneril: 'Into her womb convey sterility. / Dry up in her the organs of increase').
Geoffrey Rush and Mark Leonard Winter (photograph by Heidrun Löhr)
Shakespeare – despite the riskiness of depicting regicide on stage – had already written plays about the fall of kings: Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and the two Richard plays. Here, though, he is at his boldest. A monarch – in the age of absolute monarchs – relinquishes his throne, admits to 'darker purpose', and is disobeyed by his daughters and scorned by their flunkeys.
Geoffrey Rush – an unforgettable Lear – is completely at home with the poetry, and vocally commanding when he needs to be. The Storm Scene (of which we had a funny foretaste in Fred Schepisi's film The Eye of the Storm, 2011) is powerfully done. Lear's mental dissolution is terrible to watch, and the long scenes of rapprochement and regret with Gloucester and Edgar and, later, Cordelia are charged.
Homeless, loveless, realmless, Lear learns he is no different from naked and shivering Poor Tom. In one of his greatest utterances, Lear says: 'Unaccommodated man is no more but such a poor, bare, forked animal as thou art.' With blinded, sonless Gloucester he goes even further: 'There thou mightst behold the great image of authority: a dog's obeyed in office.'
Samuel Beckett could not have put it more succinctly.
Ultimately, Lear sympathises with a beggar in a play where we hear that 'distribution should undo excess / And each man have enough.' Thus Lear is radicalised and humanised and feminised ('O, how this mother swells up toward my heart').
We know the play was performed before James I at Whitehall in 1606. We can only imagine how it was received by the new king, uniter of kingdoms, son and father of decapitated monarchs. Kiernan Ryan is droll on the subject:
... it is hard to imagine how the scandalous import of Lear's ordeal could have escaped them, or failed to leave them chastened. On the other hand, there is no reason to suppose that James and the aristocrats about him were any less adept at deflecting the implications of art away from themselves than the audiences of our own day are.
(ABR Arts was struck by similar thoughts on Saturday evening, seated in the stalls among a remarkable assemblage of politicians and grandees and plutocrats.)
Nihilistic to the last, the play offers no solace – no Christian comfort. Some baulk at this, of course. Samuel Johnson couldn't bear to read the final pages and deplored the fact that Shakespeare 'suffered the virtue of Cordelia to perish in a just cause'. But in Lear's re-visioned world there is no justice – only wailing and crying between the cradle and the grave. It is why he relishes the prospect of death ('Away, and let me die') and why he fondly shudders when Cordelia, before her murder, wakens him: 'You do me wrong to take me out o'the grave' (which Geoffrey Rush delivers with immense and gentled feeling).
Geoffrey Rush and Eryn Jean Norvill (photograph by Heidrun Löhr)
At the end, all but three of the principals are dead – the good and the bad, the blameless and the mendacious. It is as though we need to be taught a lesson – reminded of something. 'All's cheerless, dark, and deadly,' says Kent, himself declining the crown and choosing death. The survivors are rueful, hopeless. Edgar, wearing his tinsel crown, is joyless, and the play ends on a strong note of foreboding ('we that are young / Shall never see so much, nor live so long').
Armfield coaxes performances of great depth from his cast. The poetry is always at the service of the drama, not the reverse. 'Great speeches', great phrases, pass by almost unnoticed (though never unabsorbed), such is the urgency of the drama. There is no cheap grandiloquence.
Nor is there a weak performance in this outstanding production. Jacek Koman is especially good as noble-hearted Kent, as is Helen Buday as Regan. Robyn Nevin adds to her repertoire with a Fool of great pathos, one who is always grieving at the loss of Cordelia. Nevin, in glorious sync with the musicians in the upper box, plays the Fool as a kind of broken-hearted vaudevillian. Nevin steals most of her scenes, but then, desolated by everything that happens, withdraws midway through with that inscrutable quip – 'I'll go to bed at noon.'
Apart from Geoffrey Rush, the night belongs to Mark Leonard Winter (Edgar). It follows Winter's celebrated performance in the MTC's Birdland (much lauded in our Arts Highlights of the Year) The role of Edgar is a crucial one, and we know he was given second billing after Lear in the 1608 Quarto. Winter's Edgar is wide-eyed and credulous at first, easily gulled by his illegitimate half-brother Edmund (the compelling Meyne Wyatt). Shakespeare devotes much attention to Edgar's alter ego, Poor Tom, and here Winter is arresting, a brilliant combination of vocal power, physical artistry, and emotional desperation.
The Dover Cliff scene is one of the most daring episodes in this audacious play, and Winter is at his best as he leads his beloved father, Gloucester (Max Cullen) to the faux-verge and fantasises about the scene below in some of Shakespeare's most thrilling language. This is a virtuoso and illusory world, but finally Edgar can peer (in his imagination) no further:
I'll look no more,
Lest my brain turn, and the deficient sight
Topple down headlong.
As Coleridge said: '[Shakespeare] writes not for past ages but for that in which he lives and that which is to follow', and 'shakes off the iron bondage of space and time'.
For six more weeks, shaking off our own bondages, we can enjoy, if that is the right word, this timeless, ever-unsettling study of power and derangement.
King Lear, written by William Shakespeare, directed by Neil Armfield for the Sydney Theatre Company. The production continues at the Roslyn Packer Theatre until 9 January 2016. Performance attended: 28 November.

Baseball: Gala event for Scarlet Hawks
Rick Gala was 3-for-5 with three RBI and three stolen bases to lead Milford to a 9-6 victory over Quabbin in the Division 1 Central first round.
The Scarlet Hawks will now play at third-seeded Holy Name on Monday in the quarterfinals. Also recording a three-hit performance for Milford was Ed Rivera, who went 3-for-4. Though Milford led the entire game, it remained close until Alan Bishop had a two-run double in the bottom of the sixth to go up 9-6.
Jack Murray pitched six innings for Milford, while striking out six and allowing three earned runs.
HUDSON 5, DAVID PROUTY 2: Senior right-hander Matt Jacobs fired a three-hitter with 14 strikeouts as sixth-seeded and host Hudson rolled past No. 11 David Prouty in a Division 2 Central first-round game at Riverside Park last night.
Hudson (15-8) hosts 14th-seeded Grafton (12-9), upset winners over No. 3 Northbridge, in a quarterfinal Monday at Riverside Park.
Jacobs, a tri-captain, did not walk a batter, had a hit-batsman and finished with just 96 pitches.
"He was outstanding," said Hudson coach Brian Davis of his ace. "He had great command, location and kept the ball low. He got stronger as the game went on. Usually when you strike out that many you'd go over 100 pitches. He was immense on the mound this evening."
The other senior tri-captains came up big at the plate. Evan Childs went 2-for-3 with a double and two runs, and Mike Wood hit a solo homer to left field that put the Hawks up 2-0 in the second inning, and then drove in another run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth.
"The team is built around those three," said Davis. "They started as sophomores on the team that went to the state final and came up big tonight."
Dan Donaghue had an RBI double in the third that made it 3-1 for the Hawks, who led for the entire game after jumping in front 2-0 in the first.
WESTBOROUGH 11, DOHERTY 8: A.J. Rouleau's RBI single in the bottom of the fifth provided the winning run for Westborough in the Division 1 Central first round.
Westborough will host St. Peter-Marian on Monday in the quarterfinals. After the Rangers jumped out to an early 6-2 lead, Doherty came storming back with a six-run fifth inning to go up 8-6. Andy Basque then provided a key two-run double to tie the game at 8-8 before coming home on Rouleau's single.
Andy Bower was strong in relief for Westborough, entering in the fifth to pitch five strong innings while only giving up one run to earn the win.
OXFORD 10, BLACKSTONE-MILLVILLE 1: Tom Levitre pitched 6.1 innings and went 1-for-3 at the plate, but No. 13 Blackstone-Millville couldn't recover from a few bad breaks, and were sent packing from the Division 2 Central first round by host No. 4 Oxford.
T.J. Rondeau scored the lone run for the Chargers (10-9), when he reached on an error, moved to third on a Cody Fournier single and scored on a fielder's choice. Center fielder Aaron Millette went 2-for-3 at the plate.
ST. PETER-MARIAN 12, MARLBOROUGH 0: St. Peter-Marian's ace Keith Landers didn't allow a hit and struck out 15 in eight innings as the host and fifth-seeded Guardians ousted No. 12 Marlborough in a Division 1 Central first-round game.
Marlborough, which finishes its season at 10-11, got two hits in the ninth inning off a St. Peter-Marian reliever but could not score. The Guardians (14-7) play at fourth-seeded Westborough (15-5) in a quarterfinal on Monday at 4 p.m.
WESTON 22, NORTHEAST 6: Third baseman Joe Dell'Erario went 2-for-3 with three RBI as host No. 14 Weston scored 17 runs in the first two innings in a Division 3 North preliminary-round stomping of No. 19 Northeast.
The Wildcats (13-8) head to No. 3 Shawsheen Tech for the first round tomorrow at 2 p.m.
Robert Charpie earned the win, pitching five innings in relief of Wildcats starter Ollie Endicott. Weston took advantage of numerous walks and errors by the Golden Knights to quickly run away with the game.
ACTON-BOXBORO 8, LAWRENCE 3: Senior Scott Weismann was the winning pitcher with a complete-game nine-hitter with eight strikeouts and one walk and also hit a two-run homer as No. 15 Acton-Boxboro defeated No. 18 Lawrence in a Division 1 North preliminary round game.
The Colonials (13-8), who will travel to No. 2 seed Boston English tomorrow (2 p.m.), also got strong offensive games from senior Chase Caldwell (4-for-5, 2 runs, RBI), sophomore Jake Northrup (3-for-5, 2 doubles, 2 RBI) and junior Connor Buckley (solo home run).
BAY PATH 13, VALLEY TECH 3: No. 2 Bay Path used an offensive explosion to roll to a Division 2 Central first-round win over 15th-seeded Valley Tech.
Valley Tech finishes the season at 9-10.

The Marienburg is located high above on the mountain ridge at which the Mosel bight of the Zell Hamm narrows to less than 300 metres. From here, visitors have a fantastic view of the wine-growing towns and villages of the Zell region and the almost 14 km long Mosel bight. Over 1000 years ago there was already a castle where the Marienburg now stands. In 1146 an Augustinian convent was founded at the same location. This convent was dissolved in 1515 and a fortress was built in its place, which was destroyed in 1650 by French auxiliaries. The Marienburg was rebuilt in the Baroque period; some stretches of wall on the edge of the large car park date from the former Marienburg Farm, which supplied the Marienburg in the Middle Ages. The late Gothic choir is all that remains of the old convent church, which was rebuilt in 1957. The Marienburg is therefore not only a location of natural beauty and historical memorability, it is also a building of art-historical interest and shows three building styles: the nave dates from the 12th century, the late Gothic choir dates from the second half of the 15th century and the elevated choir stonework with oval windows from the 18th century. Today, the building is home to the Marienburg youth education centre, with a guest house and conference centre.


It doesn't take much to be "Anti-American" these days. All you have to do is ask a few pertinent questions as to why so many(and varied) people about the globe find this country at best unsympathetic and at worst worthy of killing themselves over the better to stage a terrorist attack. For if you do, the usual "mainstream" suspects will deem you worthy of throwing into that Outer Darkness currently occupied by Susan Sontag, Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal. But as anyone with a long memory (ie. the citizen most dangerous to the status quo)knows, this situation didn't arise solely in the wake of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon in 2001. Rather, it's something that's been part and parcel of the "mainstream" for quite some time. And the striking new film version of Graham Greene's The Quiet American will doubtless provide an opportunity for its invocation once again.
Published in 1956, Greene's novel is set in the waning days of French "Indo-China" — moments before full-bore occupation of the U.S. and the partition of the country into what became known as "North and South Vitnam." In the foreground is a love triangle involving an ageing "burnt-out case" of a British journalist, his young Vietnamese mistress, and a seemingly naive and idealistic young American who is supposedly involved in a "Humanitarian aide" mission of some sort. But in the wake of his murder, his connections to the C.I.A. are revealed — and with them a eerie foreshadowing of everything that was to transpire in the decades to follow.
In 1958 Joseph L. Mankiewicz made a film of The Quiet American starring Michael Redgrave as the journalist, Georgia Moll as the mistress, and celebrated World War II hero Audie Murphy as the American. Reworking Greene's story, Mankiewicz made the American genuinely naive — and by and large a dupe of local Communists. Oddly sandwiched between two of his biggest hits, Guys and Dolls and Suddenly Last Summer, Mankiewicz's film pleased neither Greene fans nor the general public. But it found favor with a young film critic named Jean-Luc Godard who (writing in Arts) declared "it confirms Mankiewicz's mental agility" and claimed it "in fact, invites comparasion with Jean Giradoux." Godard went on to cast the actress who played the mistress, Georgia Moll, in the key role of the secretary to Jack Palance's egomaniacal producer in Contempt — a film shot largely in the highly theatrical Mankiewicz style.
That Mankiewicz would revise Greene's principle character is no surprise, given the fact that the American "A Picture" moviegoing public would have been astonished to learn of its government's villainous doings in foreign countries. (The "B Picture" public got the message in Sam Fuller's China Gate with Angie Dickinson, Gene Barry and Nat King Cole) And that situation persists, so well we have been brainwashed into the belief that the government of the United States is "Good" and operates in the "best interests" of "everyone." But as director Philillip Noyce and screenwriters Robert Schenkkan and Christopher Hampton are filming Greene's story in 2002, the history of what came afterwards — the U.S. invasion of Vietnam in the 1960's and the genocide that came in its wake spreading into Laos, Thailand and Cambodia in the 70's before this country's eventual defeat — is unavoidable. Therefore in many ways the love triangle in the foreground becomes this version's background. It's very much in keeping with the work of filmmaker whose career began in his native Australia with such hard-hitting dramas as Newsfront, and Heatwave, before the success of the thriller Dead Calm , afforded him the chance to direct such high-priced dreck as Sliver, The Saint, The Bone Collector and (more to the ideological point), the CIA love-letters Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger . Obviously Noyce is seeking to make amends — and he does so handily. However none of this would have seen the light of day had it none been for something quite outside conventional politics — the Academy Award.
Miramax President Harvey Weinstein was full prepared to "bury" The Quiet American as he had so many other films that his company acquired that "just couldn't find an audience" — because he didn't permit them to do so. But some critics got to see it anyway, and a buzz about Michael Caine's performance was started, that grew louder when the film played the Toronto Film Festival. Weinstein has never been able to resist the lure of an Oscar. And as his relentless campaigning snagged a Best Supporting Actor trophy for Caine in The Cider House Rules a few years back, a potential Best Actor nod for The Quiet American couldn't be shoved aside — necessitating the film's release. And likewise a Best Supporting for Brendan Fraser. For this seeming "lightweight" known mostly for knockabout comedy show surprising depth and skill here in a very demanding part.
Old Smoothy that he is, Caine sails through the role of Fowler the journalist as elegantly as one would expect. Likewise a lovely young Vietnamese actess Do Hai Yen, embodies the grace and sensuality of Phuong, the girl they both love, with ease. It's Fraser's Pyle who stands out. For he makes us believe both his guilelessness in falling for the girl, even while befriending her "protector" Fowler, while at the same time making sure our being duped by his "naivete" in matters of the heart matches his larger (and far more concealed) moral mendacity. The key moment here is a flashback of a scene in which a bomb explodes in a square in downtown Saigon, killing numerous civilians. As Fowler recounts it, he makes note of the fact that this was the moment when he discovered that Pyle spoke Vietnamese like a native — something he had lied about up until then. And rather than help the wounded, Pyle is directing a photographer to take pictures of the bodies. Not at all surprising as he is the one responsible for the bomb — which he and his cronies will blame on the Communists.
But the very best moment comes almost in passing in this scene. For Noyce has Christopher Doyle's expert camera direct our attention via a medium close shot to Pyle petulantly wiping a bombing victim's blood off his trouser leg.
If you want an image that embodies America at the turn of the century, that's it.
But make sure to note that it's an embodiment of the American government. The American people are, as usual, unheard. They're too busy being directed to look elsewhere — like Pyle's photographer. And this act of looking transforms them into that least dangerous of citizens, the Consumer. For the Consumer is just another passive spectator. Safe. Controlled. But Noyce's film doesn't engender passivity. And it's "Anti-American" stand is far from the simplistic one of Godard's In Praise of Love (which treats Steven Spielberg as if he were Henry Kissinger) Rather, it evokes the "mental agility" of Mankiewicz, to create the film that great writer-director might have made were he alive today — and as angry as I am about the state of the nation and the world it so reflexively bullies.

Antoinette Foster Dip. Nut. Equine Nutritional Therapist/Medical Herbalist/Nutritional Therapy Genetics/Product Formulator. Antoinette Foster is one of Australia's most highly qualified equine nutritional therapists; she is also a qualified medical herbalist and human nutritionist and author of the successful book "Eat Like a Horse". Antoinette has been a practitioner for over 29 years and has continued her training throughout this time. She began work in 2010 with Dr Margie Smith, a molecular geneticist; and was introduced the world of genetic science and the effect on gene expression from nutrition, this knowledge has been brought into the equine side of Antoinette's business. Genetic science has advanced substantially in the last 20 years and integrating the knowledge that Antoinette has into the management of horses is extremely exciting. Antoinette's interests in genetics lead her to a new professional diploma course in Nutritional Therapy and Genetics which she completed in December 2015\. In 2017 the long awaited Equine Nutritional Therapy course will be released as Antoinette's company becomes a service provider and the course has been approved. Antoinette has always believed that every equine, just like every human are individuals and they should be treated in this way with profound respect for their health and well-being. Antoinette conducts several seminars and information nights throughout the year and her presentations are dynamic, enjoyable, and highly educational. Her aim is to provide horse owners, trainers and breeders with the tools to ensure that their horses achieve optimum health on a long-term basis. Antoinette's company is also registered for Research and Development and in 2017 clinical vet trials begin, covering Osteoarthritis, Insulin Resistance and Equine Gut Microbiome. Antoinette is a passionate horse owner and rider and plans to return to the dressage arena once again after a very long break from competition with her new young Warmblood Coffee (Friedensthal Fidertanz /Belcam Calandra). Antoinette is a member of several organisations including the IICT and Nutrition Australia and writes regularly for several publications. Towards the end of 2016 Antoinette and her company along with software developer GoalMaker Software Solutions developed a new individualized software program for horse owners, this is a unique program that allows for each horse to be accessed as an individual. The program, released in April 2017, is a free service. in this podcast Antoinette talks at Equitana New Zealan about the horse's gut & how to keep it healthy. The equine digestive system can be easily impaired by many common management mistakes. She talks about what improves digestive health in horses, from correct dental maintenance, to what you feed your horses, how often and even at what height that feed is located from the ground. Given the prevalence of colic, ulcers and other digestive conditions in modern horses, the key to their overall health is often contained in their gut! The equine intestinal tract contains a complex microbial population called micro biota which plays an important role in health and disease. It appears that the micro biome can be altered quite intensely in certain disease states. Laminitis for example can be a very severe disease that can be set off by an increase of dietary starch. By the time the starch reaches the hindgut it causes an enhancement of lactic acid bacteria, lactate build up and acidification of the contents of the gut. I also discuss the new science of equine microbiome gut health testing and what relevance this plays in the health and well-being of the digestive system of the horse. I found talking to Antoinette fascinating and am sure that you will love it too.

Nov 1, 2018 | Data Privacy, Internet regulation, Uncategorized
Date 13 Dec 2018, 17:30 to 13 Dec 2018, 19:00
Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DR
This comprehensive textbook by the editor of Law and the Internet seeks to provide students, practitioners and businesses with an up-to-date and accessible account of the key issues in internet law and policy from a European and UK perspective. The internet has advanced in the last 20 years from an esoteric interest to a vital and unavoidable part of modern work, rest and play. As such, an account of how the internet and its users are regulated is vital for everyone concerned with the modern information society. This book also addresses the fact that internet regulation is not just a matter of law but increasingly intermixed with technology, economics and politics. Policy developments are closely analysed as an intrinsic part of modern governance. Law, Policy and the Internet focuses on two key areas: e-commerce, including the role and responsibilities of online intermediaries such as Google, Facebook and Uber; and privacy, data protection and online crime. In particular there is detailed up-to-date coverage of the crucially important General Data Protection Regulation which came into force in May 2018.

"We believe that this logo eloquently expresses four dynamics central to the European Forum," says Quentin Dezetter, the European Forum's communications coordinator.
For this outstanding work, we want to thank the designer of the new logo, Piotr Chatkowski from Poland. We would also like to express our gratitude to the team that created the previous logo which has served us so well these past decades, and has seen the development of the European Forum into an internationally recognised faith-based human rights NGO. We believe that the new logo, which reflects the reality and the spirit of the 21st century, is yet another step in raising the voice and visibility of LGBT Christians in Europe.
The European Forum of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Christian Groups is an ecumenical association of LGBT Christian groups in Europe. The European Forum aims to achieve equality and inclusion for LGBT people within and through Christian churches and other religious bodies and multilateral organisations. With over 50 member groups from more than 20 countries in Europe, the European Forum works for freedom of religion for LGBT people, for human rights, for the dignity of LGBT people, and for an affirmative discourse on human sexuality.
The European Forum of LGBT Christian Groups is now among the 300+ international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) that have been granted participatory status with the Council of Europe.
