Isreal to nuke Iran on January 21st 2009.
Colin Powell has stated that a very large crisis will come up on the 21st or 22 of January. He wants large corporations to be ready to help Obama with controlling the people. From what I can understand Isreal is going to nuke Iran. Say hello to WW3!
I don't know how to post a link but if you want to read what I read go to Prison Planet and scoll down the main page untill you see Warnings from world leaders within 72 hours.
Picked a real fine guy for chief of staff it looks like aswell, son of a zionist terrorist! We are so fucked!

Re: Isreal to nuke Iran on January 21st 2008.
Yeah, anyone that thinks Obama will bring any real change is sorely delusional. You're right - his chief of staff (and first appointment?) is a step back.
As for the link, I'm not too worried about the "warnings" - The source is from www.thejerusalemgiftshop.com. Yes, I think Israel would love to Nuke Iran (ironically, to stop them from making nukes) - but I don't think it will come without express approval from DC. Unless Obama's already given the thumbs up, they'll either have to do it before he takes the oath or wait until after he settles in so it isn't 'too' obvious. I can see whatever catastrophe happening later, rather than sooner - whatever the scenario is. Bush and his associates have already screwed things up so much, that starting WWIII would just be too expected.
But you're right - things are fucked - whether it's taxes, war, toxic chemicals in our food, collapse of health care (down here) - there is no reason to expect a government will fix anything and the odds are they'll make it worse.
Awesome!! My AmEx bill is due on the 21st... I can buy up a storm on or after December 21 for Christmas, then not have to pay anything!
EDIT: Wait a tic! "2008"? Dammit, I missed it!

Q: How to add media gallery entries via REST API - Magento 2 I stored image in pub/media/catalog/product. How to add that images into media gallery entries.
I have tried like http://myhost/rest/V1/products
"media_gallery_entries"=> array(
    array(
        "media_type"=> "image",
        "label"=> "Product Image",
        "position"=> 1,
        "disabled"=> false,
        "types"=> array(
            "image",
            "small_image",
            "thumbnail"
        ),
        "file"=> "/1/0/10.jpg"
    )
),

but it always complain about "message":"The image content is not valid."
base64_encode is the only way to add image into rest api?
if yes I tried with
"media_gallery_entries"=> array(
    array(
        "media_type"=> "image",
        "label"=> "Product Image",
        "position"=> 1,
        "disabled"=> false,
        "types"=> array(
            "image",
            "small_image",
            "thumbnail"
        ),
        "content"=> array(
            "base64_encoded_data"=> $data->getMainImage(),
            "type"=> "image/jpeg",
            "name"=> "test.jpg"
        ),
    )
),

It throws exception "message":"The image MIME type is not valid or not supported."
I found supported mime type in /vendor/magento/framework/Api/ImageContentValidator.php
private $defaultMimeTypes = [
    'image/jpg',
    'image/jpeg',
    'image/gif',
    'image/png',
];

It support image/jpeg, but I don't know why it throws exception.
Can anyone enlighten me to how to add media galleries entries?

A: Try with your second example, but instead of media_type, use mediaType tag.
"media_gallery_entries"=> array(
    array(
        "media_type"=> "image",
        "label"=> "Product Image",
        "position"=> 1,
        "disabled"=> false,
        "types"=> array(
            "image",
            "small_image",
            "thumbnail"
        ),
        "content"=> array(
            "base64_encoded_data"=> $data->getMainImage(),
            "type"=> "image/jpeg",
            "name"=> "test.jpg"
        ),
    )
),

Also, you'll probably have to use base64_encode($data->getMainImage()) instead of $data->getMainImage() only.

A: Notice

*

*We should use image_type_to_mime_type function to get the MIME type, not use the file extension, because  extension sometime is wrong.

*'data:image/'.$type.';base64,' beginning in the base64 string doesn't need in Magento2, we just need base64_encode($imageData);
Work Example: post product image from Magento 1.9 to Magento 2.2
<?php
$imagePath = $product->getImage();
$imageFullPath = Mage::getBaseDir('media').'/catalog/product'.$imagePath;
$imageName = basename($imagePath);
$imageType = exif_imagetype($imageFullPath);
$mimeType = image_type_to_mime_type($imageType);
$imageData = file_get_contents($imageFullPath);
$base64EncodedData = base64_encode($imageData);

$json =
    '{
      "product": {
        ...
        "media_gallery_entries": [{
            "media_type": "image",
            "label": "'.$imageName.'",
            "position": 0,
            "disabled": false,
            "types": [
                "image",
                "small_image",
                "thumbnail"
            ],
            "file": "'.$imagePath.'",
            "content": {
                "base64_encoded_data": "'.$base64EncodedData.'",
                "type": "'.$mimeType.'",
                "name": "'.$imageName.'"
            }
        }],
        ...
      }
    }'

Nebraska Department of Transportation Awards Contract for Lincoln South Beltway Project
December 20, 2019 (Lincoln, Neb.)
December 20, 2019 (Lincoln, Neb.) — Today, the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) announced Hawkins Construction of Omaha has been awarded the contract to construct the Lincoln South Beltway. Once complete, the South Beltway will improve safety and regional mobility by connecting U.S. Highway 77 (US-77) and existing Nebraska Highway 2 (N-2).
The Lincoln South Beltway is the largest and one of the most complex projects the NDOT has undertaken. The $352,191,375 contract will cover construction of an 11 mile east-west four-lane freeway that will reduce congestion on N-2 through Lincoln and improve connectivity in the region. Construction is anticipated to begin in [Month] with the freeway anticipated to be open to traffic in spring of 2023.
The NDOT has already acquired most of the required right of way and has begun work on removing vegetation in the area of the new roadway. Additional public meetings will be announced at a later date which will provide local residents with information on timing of work that may impact their normal travel routines.
The NDOT has been working towards delivery of the South Beltway for decades and following passage of the Build Nebraska Act, the NDOT was able to partner with City of Lincoln, Lancaster County and the US Department of Transportation to secure funding and prioritize the project. Last February the NDOT announced it would use an innovative financing approach to accelerate construction of the project to allow it to be built over three years but paid for over the same eight-year time frame originally laid out in the phased approach.

Chicago mayor apologizes to woman for wrongful police raid
Dec. 16, 2020 at 3:23 pm Updated Dec. 16, 2020 at 3:23 pm
SOPHIA TAREEN
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot apologized Wednesday to a social worker whose home was wrongly raided by police officers who did not allow the woman to put on any clothes before handcuffing her.
A civilian review board is investigating the 2019 incident at Anjanette Young's home of which Chicago's WBBM-TV obtained body camera footage. Earlier this week Lightfoot's administration went to federal court to stop the station from airing the footage, but was denied.
Lightfoot initially tried to distance herself from the incident, saying it happened before she took office in May 2019 and blaming the Civilian Office of Police Accountability for not releasing the video earlier. COPA's investigation, which could include recommendations for disciplining officers, is ongoing.
But the disturbing video prompted wide criticism, including from Chicago aldermen who called for more hearings on the "cover-up of a wrongful police raid" and Black state legislators who called it an "act of racism, gendered violence and yet another violation of a Black woman's dignity and safety."
In the video, officers break down Young's door and she can be repeatedly heard screaming, "You've got the wrong house!" Young said she didn't have time to dress before several officers stormed into her apartment.
Lightfoot apologized to Young for the incident during an emotional news conference and for the attempt to block it from being aired.
"I am deeply sorry and troubled that her home was invaded and that she had to face the humiliation and trauma that she suffered. That is just not right," Lightfoot said. "It simply should not have happened. And I will make sure that there is full accountability for what took place."
Lightfoot said concerns about officers searching the wrong homes has led to changes in search warrant protocol. She said the city would change its policies to make it easier to release body camera video in similar circumstances.
Young obtained the video as part of her lawsuit against the city. The city had also filed a request to have Young sanctioned for allegedly violating a confidentiality order. Lightfoot said Wednesday that Young should not be punished and she is a victim.
Young said Wednesday that she is a private person so having the video in the public sphere is difficult but necessary.
"I want accountability," Young told reporters in Chicago. "I don't need social media followers, I don't need that type of stuff. Accountability."

fostering innovation and entrepreneurship
We are a venture capital firm that establishes long-lasting partnerships with entrepreneurs that use technology to change the world. We look for local companies with the ambition to go global and entrepreneurs passionate about their mission; that's where the power of our network is most valuable.
We like to partner early, build a strong relationship with entrepreneurs and support them with more than just capital. As a team, we are excited to add value to the startups by providing key strategic and tactical support to ensure our investments are long-lasting and scalable.
why we call ourselves "Lab"
Labs provide opportunity for experimentation, observation, and practice in a field of study; labs are the perfect environment for good ideas to come to life.
At Capital Lab we believe in the power of innovation and we want to make sure we create connections that stimulate creative problem solving and develop companies that will be the market leaders of tomorrow.
At Capital Lab we work through two investment formats: the traditional Venture Capital model, making direct investments in early stage companies, and the Venture Lab model, our proprietary methodology to support entrepreneurs in the pre-funding phase.
We make investments in early stage companies in exchange for minority shareholding stakes. We require companies to have a prototype or operational MVP (Minimum Viable Product) before committing to the investment.
In regard to financial instruments, we either provide credit through convertible notes, always with the intention of realizing the convertible option later on, or we make direct equity investments.
On top of capital, we give companies access to our powerful network of entrepreneurs and investors. Our target is to support companies' strategic and tactical decisions.
venture lab
Instead of deploying financial capital, we invest time and work to advise entrepreneurs in structuring their business plans and preparing the ground for the seed fund raise.
We expect founders to have a prototype ongoing, but no proven track record is required.
Entrepreneurs supported by the Venture Lab methodology also have access to our network of experts and are provided with mentorship and advisory sessions.
"There is definitely a different i4sea before and after Capital Lab's investment. Their support goes beyond capital, by allowing the team to have access to their priceless support in defining and monitoring the company's main strategic decisions. Since the beginning, we realized that Capital Lab's team will spare no effort in order to promote the portfolio companies success. Giving all that, i4sea is certain that with this partnership, success is inevitable! We feel very grateful and honored to be part of the great family that is Capital Lab."
Bruno Balbi, founder of i4sea
"Capital Lab was essential to our growth and to the structuring of our operation and funding round. They were always very present and dedicated to Clorent. No doubt they helped us get where we are today. We are very proud and lucky to have them as our partners! "
Eduarda Ferraz e Ana Teresa Saad, co-founders of Clorent
"At Atomic Agro we had the pleasure of having Capital Lab not only as our seed investor, but also as a reliable advisor which has contributed to the company's strategy and has supported important decisions. Through our frequent interactions with Capital Lab's team, we were able to build a trustworthy partnership, without losing flexibility nor Atomic's autonomy in day-to-day matters."

Give your Business, Organization, Team, School or Event a Touch of Class!
Have your company name or logo reproduced in pure Belgian Chocolate!
Individually foil wrapped pieces are perfect for handouts at Open Houses, Receptions, Trade-Shows, and during sales calls. Pieces may also be enclosed with quotes or letters.
In addition to individual use, the pieces can be sized for packing in boxes of assorted chocolates. Our helpful staff can discuss your needs, and personalize a box and logo sizing for you.These boxes are perfect for Customer or Employee "Thank-you," recognition and corporate Christmas gifts. Boxes are available in ½ lb., 1 lb., 1½ lb, 2 lb., 3 lb. and 5 lb. sizes.
A custom-packed box, with your name right on the chocolates keeps your name/logo visible to remind your customer of your thoughtfulness. Compare this to the standard "off-the-shelf" box, with your business card attached ... once the box has been opened, the card falls off, and the recipient forgets who gave the box. Not so if your logo is on the actual pieces of chocolate! These boxes will bring you greater customer recognition as your customer remembers you longer, and realizes that you have given their gift that extra time and attention, rather than making a quick impulse purchase.
Just provide us with a sharp black and white .jpg or .pdf file (or an extremely clear/sharp [Laser] Black & White copy) of the words and logo you wish to have reproduced. Artwork should be actual size or larger.
When designing your wording, remember that phone numbers, addresses, etc. may change in future, which would require a new mold to be developed, and would incur another development charge.
Normally from the time we receive artwork, to when we have chocolates produced, is about three weeks. This would be the expected time frame for orders of 2500 pieces or less. For larger runs it may take longer than three weeks to complete the entire order, but a portion would be ready within this time frame.
An initial (one-time) Mold Development Fee starting at $300.00 (for sizes up to 3" x 4") plus the price per chocolate -- this will vary according to dimensions and shapes.
Please call for a quotation on your specific size.

Chu (楚) (ook Ch'u) was de grootste staat van de Strijdende Staten in China. Het besloeg de vallei van de Jangtsekiang, en was nog maar kort 'gekoloniseerd'. De naam Chu betekent 'wildernis', wat verwijst naar de tropische bossen en -klimaat die er waren, die een grote tegenstelling vormden met het kerngebied van de Chinese beschaving aan de oevers van de Gele Rivier.

Inrichting en cultuur
Chu werd aanvankelijk beschouwd als een semi-barbaarse staat, maar groeide gelijkelijk in de Chinese invloedssfeer. Hierbij vond een wederzijdse culturele uitwisseling plaats. Zo namen de Chinese staten veel van Chu's bestuurlijke en militaire technieken over. De rijkdom van Chu kan worden afgeleid van de vele praalgraven die uit die periode zijn gevonden. het shamanisme en taoïsme waren er de twee belangrijkste levensovertuigingen. De beroemde Treurdichten van Chu van Qu Yuan waren uit Chu afkomstig.

Oorlogen
Chu onderhield nauwe contacten met zijn westerbuur Ba, maar voerde er soms ook oorlog mee; Ba zag zich driemaal genoodzaakt zijn hoofdstad te verplaatsen vanwege de voortdurende oorlogsdreiging. Chu vormde vooral een bedreiging voor de noordelijke staten.

De hertogen van Chu eisten na de val van de Westelijke Zhou-dynastie in 771 v.Chr. een belangrijkere plaats op. Zij merkten dat het koninklijk gezag was afgebrokkeld, en verklaarden zich in 704 v.Chr. als eerste een onafhankelijk koninkrijk, spoedig gevolgd door andere staten die de Zhou-koning niet langer erkenden. In 579 v.Chr. tijdens de Periode van Lente en Herfst wist Chu onder leiding van hertog Zhuang na een overwinning op de Jin het oppergezag over China te verkrijgen.

In 519 v.Chr. werd de hoofdstad van Chu in Yingcheng gebouwd.

In 506 v.Chr. werd Chu aangevallen door de staat Wu waarbij koning Zhao gedwongen werd op de vlucht te slaan. Chu kon alleen worden gered door een interventie van de staat Qin.

koning Dao stelde In 382 v.Chr. Wu Qi aan als eerste minister en zette hiermee de modernisering van Chu in gang.

Chu veroverde de staat Yue in 333 v.Chr. en Lu in 249 v.Chr..

Oorlog met Qin

Ondanks zijn omvang bleek de staat niet opgewassen tegen Qin, die aan een grootschalige operatie was begonnen om alle staten te veroveren.
Koning Shi Huang besloot van de drie in 225 v.Chr. overgebleven staten eerst de sterkste te verslaan: Chu. Een generaal ging erop af met 200.000 soldaten, maar hij werd verrast door het wilde en onbekende terrein waarna hij werd verslagen door de 500.000 soldaten van Chu. De Qin-koning stuurde zijn veteraan Wang Jian op oorlogspad met 600.000. Deze stuurde eerst verkenners vooruit, die meldden dat de vijand zwaar verschanst was en bereid zich dood te vechten. Daarom bouwde Wang Jian een sterk kamp en trainde zijn mannen maandenlang en zorgde ervoor dat ze goed gehumeurd waren en klaar voor het gevecht. De Chu-soldaten werden ongeduldig en verlieten hun stellingen. Toen viel Wang Jian massaal aan en overrompelde de vijand volledig. Chu werd in 223 v.Chr. veroverd.

Korte wedergeboorte

Na de val van de Qin-dynastie in 206 vóór Christus ontstonden de staten Chu en Han opnieuw. Onder leiding van Xiang Yu voerde Chu van 206 tot 202 een oorlog tegen Liu Bang van Han. Chu verloor de oorlog en de Han-dynastie werd opgericht.

How LGBTQ+ People Really Feel About Sex & The City
How LGBTQ+ People Really Feel About Sex And The City
Kasandra Brabaw
Photo: Craig Blankenhorn/Hbo/Darren Star Prods./Kobal/REX/Shutterstock.
When the first episode of Sex And The City debuted on June 6, 1998, viewers got a glimpse into queer life in Manhattan. Although the LGBTQ+ characters never had staring roles on SATC, they were a presence in the main four women's lives. And that's more than you could say for most other shows at the time. The pilot introduced us to Carrie's gay friend Stanford and (very briefly) a couple of drag queens who bring Miranda a birthday cake. Later in the show, Carrie dates a bisexual man and Samantha has a short relationship with a woman.
So no one could argue that SATC didn't help the world see that LGBTQ+ people, you know, exist. But, while LGBTQ+ visibility might have been enough to call a show "groundbreaking" in 1998, LGBTQ+ people now expect more from queer characters. Stanford is a flamboyant and flat stereotype of a gay man, and that doesn't push the envelope for queer people anymore. Carrie's flippant comments about bisexuality (that it's "a layover on the way to gaytown") wouldn't fly in 2018. And even Samantha's relationship with a woman (which was handled mostly well) feels gross and gratuitous next to the queer ladies who grace our TV screens today. Even Sarah Jessica Parker (aka, Carrie Bradshaw herself) recently admitted that SATC wasn't great for LGBTQ+ people (or anyone other than white women, tbh). "There were no women of colour, and there was no substantial conversation about the LGBTQ community," she said at at Wall Street Journal's Future of Everything Festival.
So, at the risk of sounding like Carrie Bradshaw, SJP's comments bring up a few questions. How harshly should we judge a show that first aired 20 years ago? Was SATC ultimately good or bad for the LGBTQ+ community? And how do queer and trans people today really feel about the show? We reached out LGBTQ+ people to help us explore some of those questions. Read on for their thoughts.

People talk about their belief in God and yet when things "seemingly" go wrong in their life they feel lost or abandoned by God. This is where trust becomes important. Do not confuse faith with trust; because trust is faith in action, you need both to end suffering. We often forget that God is in all things and we can learn from all our experiences. Exploring my body through bodywork has taught me many life lessons. One of the important lessons I have learned through this deep transformational work is trust. When trust is gone we feel fear, depression, even unloved and we suffer. When we keep up our faith, make a shift in our perception while moving forward in trust the answers come and healing can occur. When you think an experience is bad or negative suffering shows up. However, if you can remember that all experiences in life are opportunities to learn and grow from then your trust will blossom. God, The Universe, Divine Creator are all human labels for the same energy that created all things. Therefore, whatever your beliefs are or label you us, if you resonate with the energy of trust the answers show up and healing will happen.

Pathe.net: Korean registrant lost #UDRP filed by French movie monolith
Posted by DomainGang on September 6, 2021, at 10:42 am
Pathé became the world's largest film equipment and production company in France in the early 1900s, as well as a major producer of phonograph records. In 1908, Pathé invented the newsreel that was shown in cinemas before a feature film.
The company operates from Pathe.com and Pathe.fr and it filed a UDRP against the domain Pathe.net, registered in 2002. The domain was listed for sale via Uniregistry.
The Respondent, a domain investor from Korea, alleged that the language of the Complaint should be changed to Korean and that the domain wasn't acquired or used in a manner that disrupts the Complainant's rights. In response, the sole panelist at the WIPO mentioned that using English is fair as it's neither the Complainant's or the Respondent's own language.
The domain Pathe.net changed hands sometime in 2002, when it was registered by the Respondent, potentially via a dropcatching service. Pathe.net was originally registered by the Complainant in 1999 but somehow it dropped.
The WIPO panelist noted:
Accordingly, the evidence shows that the Respondent likely knew of and had sought to take unfair advantage of the similarity between the disputed domain name and the Complainant's trademarks and domain name in order to sell the disputed domain name to the Complainant or its competitors for commercial gain. The Panel further notes from the evidence of record, that the Respondent has tried to create a false association between the disputed domain name and the mark PATHE, and has tried to attract Internet users to its website for commercial gain by creating a likelihood of confusion due to such association.
Final decision: Transfer the domain Pathe.net to the Complainant.
Pathe Marques v. Admin
Case No. D2021-1703
1. The Parties
The Complainant is Pathe Marques, France, represented by Cabinet Desbarres & Staeffen, France.
The Respondent is Admin, Republic of Korea.
2. The Domain Name and Registrar
The disputed domain name <pathe.net> is registered with Gabia, Inc. (the "Registrar").
3. Procedural History
The Complaint was filed in English with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (the "Center") on May 31, 2021. On June 1, 2021, the Center transmitted by email to the Registrar a request for registrar verification in connection with the disputed domain name. On June 2, 2021, the Registrar transmitted by email to the Center its verification response confirming that the Respondent is listed as the registrant and providing the contact details.
On June 3, 2021, the Center notified the Parties in both English and Korean that the language of the Registration Agreement for the disputed domain name is Korean. On June 4, 2021, the Complainant requested for English to be the language of the proceeding. On June 7, 2021, the Registrar reiterated that the language of the Registration Agreement for the disputed domain name is Korean. On June 8 and 10, 2021, the Respondent requested for Korean to be the language of the proceeding.
The Center verified that the Complaint satisfied the formal requirements of the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy" or "UDRP"), the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), and the WIPO Supplemental Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Supplemental Rules").
In accordance with the Rules, paragraphs 2 and 4, the Center formally notified the Respondent, in both English and Korean, of the Complaint, and the proceedings commenced on June 10, 2021. In accordance with the Rules, paragraph 5, the due date for Response was June 30, 2021. On June 29, 2021 and on July 3, 2021, the Respondent requested for an extension to submit a Response, and reiterated its request for Korean to be the language of the proceeding. The due date to submit a Response was extended to July 9, 2021. The Response was filed with the Center on July 8, 2021.
The Center appointed Andrew J. Park as the sole panelist in this matter on August 9, 2021. The Panel finds that it was properly constituted. The Panel has submitted the Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence, as required by the Center to ensure compliance with the Rules, paragraph 7.
4. Factual Background
The Complainant, Pathe Marques, is a company incorporated under the laws of France since 1999. The Complainant belongs to the Pathe Group, a major film production and distribution company, owning a number of cinema chains through its subsidiary "Les Cinémas Pathé Gaumont" and television networks across Europe. It is the second oldest operating film company behind Gaumont Film Company which was established in 1895.
With a long history of involvement in cinema, the Pathe Group is today France's number one film studio and the leading cinema network in continental Europe, with 133 cinemas and 1339 screens in 2019.
Pathé or Pathé Frères is the name of various French businesses that were founded and originally run by the Pathé Brothers of France starting in 1896. In the early 1900s, the Pathe Group became the world's largest film equipment and production company, as well as a major producer of phonograph records.
The Complainant owns a large portfolio of trademarks incorporating the term "Pathe" that are widely used, and well known, including the following:
PATHE !
98760299 / 98760300
PATHÉ !
The Complainant promotes its business at the domain name <pathe.com>, which was registered in 1997.
The disputed domain name <pathe.net> was registered on April 18, 2002, and it resolves to a website displaying various commercial links, some of which are related to cinema and movies, and offering the disputed domain name for sale.
As noted above, the Complainant, following the filing of the Complaint with the Center, requested for English to be the language of the proceeding. The Respondent requested Korean to be the language of the proceeding.
5. Parties' Contentions
A. Complainant
1) The Complainant, following the filing of the Complaint with the Center, requested that the language of the proceeding be in English, providing three main reasons.
(a) The English language is the language most widely used in international relations and is one of the working languages of the Center.
(b) The Complainant does not speak or understand Korean and in order to proceed in Korean, the Complainant would have to retain specialized translation services at a cost very likely to be higher than the overall cost of these proceedings.
(c) The disputed domain name is formed by words in Roman characters (ASCII) and not in Korean.
2) The Complainant contends that the disputed domain name should be transferred to the Complainant because:
(a) the disputed domain name <pathe.net> is identical to the Complainant's trademarks in which the Complainant has rights. The Complainant argues that the Complainant's trademark PATHE is included in the disputed domain name in its entirety. The word element "pathe" is clearly predominant in the disputed domain name and the exclamation point and the rooster which is just an accessory do not interfere with the visibility of the term. Also, the addition of the generic Top-Level Domain ("gTLD") suffix ".net" does not change the overall impression of the designation as being connected to the trademark PATHE. The Complainant's trademarks have been filed and registered prior to the disputed domain name which is identical to the Complainant's trademarks.
(b) the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Complainant claims that the Respondent lacks any right or legitimate interest in the disputed domain name because the Complainant does not carry out any activity for, nor has any business with the Respondent. The Complainant has not licensed or granted any authorization to the Respondent to make use of its registered trademarks, or to apply for registration of the disputed domain name. The Complainant has not found any evidence that the Respondent is making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the disputed domain name. There is also no indication of the Respondent's use of the disputed domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services. The disputed domain name does not lead to a traditional website and resolves to a parking page with various headings and commercial links which are related to cinema and movies. These topics are clearly similar to the Complainant's business activity under the trademarks.
(c) the disputed domain name was registered and is being used in bad faith. The Complainant argues that the Respondent intentionally registered the disputed domain name, which is identical to the Complainant's famous and widely known trademarks, and is also almost identical to the Complainant's domain name <pathe.com>. The term "Pathe" is known especially in relation with the Complainant and its cinema and movie production businesses. Given the distinctiveness of the Complainant's trademarks and reputation, the Respondent must have registered the disputed domain name with full knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks and used it for the purpose of misleading and diverting Internet users. Furthermore, the disputed domain name resolves to a parking page with commercial links. The Complainant contends that the Respondent attempts to attract Internet users for commercial gain to its own website using the Complainant's trademarks whichs confirm bad faith.
B. Respondent
1) The Respondent requested that the language of the proceeding be in Korean and requested for an extension to submit a Response for the following reasons.
(a) The Respondent who was born in Korea and speaks only Korean does not understand English. Therefore, the Respondent was not able to respond properly to the Complaint and all other supplemental documents which were all in English.
(b) According to paragraph 11 of the Rules, "unless otherwise specified in the agreement between the parties or the registration agreement, and unless otherwise decided by the panelist, the language of the dispute resolution process will be the language used in the registration terms and conditions." According to information provided by the Registrar, the language used in the Registration Agreement regarding the disputed domain name is Korean.
(c) The Respondent also raised general difficult situations due to Covid-19.
2) The Respondent requests the Panel to deny the remedy requested by the Complainant because:
(a) The Respondent has not registered or acquired the disputed domain name for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring to the Complainant, who is the owner of the trademark or service mark, or to the Complainant's competitor, for a price exceeding the cost paid by the Respondent.
(b) The Respondent has not registered the disputed domain name in order to prevent the Complainant from reflecting the Complainant's trademark in the disputed domain name. The Respondent has no competitor relationship with the Complainant at all, and the Respondent did not register the disputed domain name for the purpose of interfering with the Complainant's business.
(c) The Respondent has not registered the disputed domain name in order to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website or other online location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the Respondent's website or location or of a product or service on the Respondent's website or location.
6. Discussion and Findings
A. Language of the Proceeding
The language of the Registration Agreement for the disputed domain name is in Korean. Pursuant to paragraph 11(a) of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, or specified otherwise in the Registration Agreement, the language of the proceeding shall be the language of the Registration Agreement, i.e., Korean, subject to the authority of the Panel to determine otherwise, having regard to the circumstances of the administrative proceeding.
Having considered the circumstances of the case including the Parties' language request as summarized above, the Panel decides that English be adopted as the language of the proceeding under paragraphs 10 and 11(a) of the Rules. In coming to this decision, the Panel has taken the following into account:
1) The Complaint has been submitted in English and it would cause undue delay and expense if the Complainant were required to translate the Complaint and other documents into Korean;
2) The Panel is proficient in both English and Korean, capable of reviewing all the documents and materials in both languages and giving full consideration to the Parties' respective arguments;
3) The Complainant and the Respondent use different languages, and neither of them likely understands the language of the other party. The Complainant is located in France while the Respondent is from the Republic of Korea. Therefore, English would be a fair language for both Parties;
4) The website to which the disputed domain name resolves includes links that are in English; and,
5) The disputed domain name itself is comprised of Roman letters, and it is not a Korean word.
In light of these circumstances, the Panel concludes that it will (1) accept the Complaint in English and the Respondent's communications in Korean; (2) consider any relevant materials in Korean; and (3) issue a decision in English.
B. Identical or Confusingly Similar
This element consists of two parts: first, whether the Complainant has rights in a relevant trademark and, second, whether the disputed domain name is identical or confusingly similar to that trademark.
The Panel finds that the Complainant has established registered rights in the trademark PATHE and that the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant's trademark. The disputed domain name incorporates the Complainant's trademark in its entirety, and the use of the gTLD extension ".net" may be disregarded when assessing whether a domain name is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark (see Proactiva Medio Ambiente, S.A. v. Proactiva, WIPO Case No. D2012-0182).
For these reasons, pursuant to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(i), the Panel finds that the disputed domain name is identical to the Complainant's trademark.
C. Rights or Legitimate Interests
Pursuant to paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy, the Complainant is required to make out a prima facie case that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. Once such a prima facie case is made, the Respondent carries the burden of demonstrating its rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. If the Respondent fails to do so, the Complainant is deemed to have satisfied paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy. See WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition ("WIPO Overview 3.0"), section 2.1.
Here, the Panel finds that the Complainant has made out a prima facie case.
The Panel finds that the Respondent has no relationship with or authorization from the Complainant to use its trademarks. The Respondent has shown no actual intention to use the disputed domain name since it registered the disputed domain name in 2002. The disputed domain name resolves to a parking page which includes commercial links, some of which are related to cinema and movies, and offer to sell the disputed domain name. There is nothing in the record to suggest that the Respondent has made a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the disputed domain name or has been commonly known by the disputed domain name. Also, there is no evidence that the Respondent has an intention to use the disputed domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods or services. The Panel's view is that these facts may be taken as true in the circumstances of this case and in view of the use of the disputed domain name. Since the Complainant has been found to have made a prima facie case that the Respondent lacks rights or legitimate interests, the burden of production shifts to the Respondent to prove its rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name. The Respondent, however, has failed to come forward with such relevant evidence, and thus, has failed to rebut the Complainant's prima facie case.
Moreover, the nature of the disputed domain name carries a high risk of implied affiliation with the Complainant (see WIPO Overview 3.0, section 2.5.1).
Accordingly, the Panel holds that the Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in the disputed domain name pursuant to paragraph 4(a)(ii) of the Policy.
D. Registered and Used in Bad Faith
Paragraph 4(b) of the Policy provides a non-exclusive list of circumstances that evidence registration and use of a domain name in bad faith. Any one of the following is sufficient to support a finding of bad faith:
(i) circumstances indicating that the respondent has registered or acquired the domain name primarily for the purpose of selling, renting, or otherwise transferring the domain name registration to the complainant who is the owner of the trademark or service mark or to a competitor of that complainant, for valuable consideration in excess of the respondent's documented out-of-pocket costs directly related to the domain name; or
(ii) the respondent has registered the domain name in order to prevent the owner of the trademark or service mark from reflecting the mark in a corresponding domain name, provided that the respondent has engaged in a pattern of such conduct; or
(iii) the respondent has registered the domain name primarily for the purpose of disrupting the business of a competitor; or
(iv) by using the domain name, the respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to its website or other online location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the respondent's website or location or of a product or service on the respondent's website or location.
The Complainant claims that the Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith in violation of the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii). Specifically, the Complainant claims that the Respondent violated the Policy, paragraph 4(b)(iv) by registering the disputed domain name in order to attempt to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to the Respondent's website which the disputed domain name resolves to by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's trademark.
The Panel finds the Respondent intentionally registered the disputed domain name – which is identical to the Complainant's trademarks – in bad faith for several reasons. First, the Complainant's commencement of its business and its use of the PATHE trademark since at least 1989 far pre-date the registration date of the disputed domain name in 2002. Second, the website to which the disputed domain name resolves contains links some of which are redirected to various other websites that concern movies and cinemas, the Complainant's business and its products. These websites include, such as, "Free Full Movies", "Online Ticketing Systems" and "The Best Streaming Package", which are all related to the Complainant's business. Third, the disputed domain name is almost identical to the Complainant's own domain name <pathe.com>. Finally, the website is offering the disputed domain name for sale and the sale offer is located at the top of the page. These facts clearly show that the Respondent had knowledge of the Complainant's trademark and business when it registered the disputed domain name and that it tried to show that there was a business relationship between the disputed domain name and the Complainant. Thus, it is clear that the Respondent registered the disputed domain name in bad faith with the knowledge of the Complainant's trademarks and business.
As the conduct described above falls squarely within paragraphs 4(b)(i) and (iv) of the Policy, the Panel concludes that the Respondent registered and is using the disputed domain name in bad faith pursuant to the Policy, paragraph 4(a)(iii).
7. Decision
For the foregoing reasons, in accordance with paragraphs 4(i) of the Policy and 15 of the Rules, the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <pathe.net> be transferred to the Complainant.

Q: Read row currently selected by user in Qsqlquerymodel I have a QSqlQueryModel table. The user can see and access this. I want to know which row/rows that the user selects.
I have looked through a lot of other posts and documentations from qt-centre and I think the closest I believe is to somehow use QModelIndex, as shown here:
// for QSqlQueryModel or subclasses:
QSqlQueryModel *qmod = qobject_cast<QSqlQueryModel*>(md);
if(!qmod) return false;
QSqlRecord rec = qmod->record(curr.row()); // you have data inside the "rec" object

taken from http://www.qtcentre.org/archive/index.php/t-3104.html.
However this doesn't work for me. I don't want to use Qtableview as I want to work with only sqlQueryModel.
How do I detect user selections?
Thanks!

A: QTableView has a selection model. You can use the currentRowChanged signal of that selection model:
YourWidget : public QWidget
{
   Q_OBJECT
public:
   YourWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);
private slots:
   void onRowChanged(QModelIndex index);
}

YourWidget::YourWidget (QWidget *parent) :
    QWidget(paret)
{
    ...
    QTableView *view = new QTableView;
    view->setModel(yourModel);
    connect(view->selectionModel(),
            SIGNAL(currentRowChanged(QModelIndex, QModelIndex)),
            this,
            SLOT(onRowChanged(QModelIndex)));
    ...
}

void YourWidget::onRowChanged(QModelIndex index)
{
    int row = index.row();
    QSqlRecord rec = yourModel->record(row);
    ...
}

Thanks to the program dubbed "ReBirth" -- as in rebirth of the beloved 303 -- people who knew nothing about making music could click a mouse a few times and produce growling bass notes, howling high notes and boom-chick-boom drum parts. It was like the arrival of the home piano. The audience went from just listening to music to creating it.
As word of this software spread on the Internet, downloaders clogged the network of Bathorst-Noos' Internet service provider. Bathorst-Noos explained that it wasn't porn attracting all the downloaders, just good clean fun. "Boy, he was mad," Bathorst-Noos, 46, of Stockholm recalls with a chuckle.
Propellerhead squared things with the Internet service provider, polished their rough little program, and in April 1997, "ReBirth" -- the first software music synthesizer for the masses -- went on sale.
A decade later, you can't escape the influence of "ReBirth."
Artists from Wyclef Jean to the Killers are handy with software synthesizers; film scores that sound like symphonic orchestras likely were created via computer; and TV and radio commercials have background music that's cheaper to make with software on a laptop than it is to make with hired musicians. Anyone who noodles around at home with Apple's popular GarageBand musicmaking software is creating an ode to "ReBirth."
All of that was a dream 10 years ago.
"That was a month where our world was turned upside down," says Ernie Rideout, editor of Keyboard magazine. "I remember when we got it in the office, all work stopped. (Instrument reviewer and writer) Greg Rule installed and it came running out of the office: 'You've got to check this out!' It sounded so good."
For $200, "ReBirth" offered the growl, boom and spit of two TB-303s and a Roland TR-808 drum machine -- out-of-production instruments that would have totaled at least $3,000 on the second-hand market, if they could be found at all.
Fans of dance music quickly bought the program, and those with programming knowledge started tweaking it. They figured out how to use their own sounds, not just the sounds available in "ReBirth," and they used the software to share music over the Internet.
"We didn't expect that," Bathorst-Noos says.
"ReBirth" stood alone, but once Propellerhead gave it the ability to work simultaneously with other musical instruments, the world of so-called softsynths exploded.
Touring pros started using "ReBirth," though many wouldn't admit it. Few artists want to be known for using gear that's aimed at the do-it-yourself-at-home market. but the "ReBirth" sounds were good enough so only purists could tell the difference between a real 303 and an emulation.
Today, it's not odd to see two people with laptops walk on stage and perform a concert.
The 18-month-old Princeton Laptop Orchestra is taking the idea further, banding together 15 musicians who use only laptops to improvise a new kind of music that has little to do with dance. The ensemble, known as plORK, treats each laptop as a separate instrument, as opposed to an orchestra in a box.
In pop music, synthesizers have come in and out of favor over the years, reaching a peak -- or nadir, depending on your view -- in the 1980s, says Andy Kellman, editor of the online reference All Music Guide. After '90s rock relegated synthesizers to the realm of dance music and hip-hop, they are making a bit of a comeback. The Killers, Arcade Fire and other bands meld the sounds of 50-year-old electric guitar technology with undercurrents of hardware and software synthesizers - though Kellman says detractors still dismiss synthesizers as "just hitting buttons and not putting a lot of thought into it."
In the end, it's all music, says musician and author Derek Johnson: "Every viewpoint is valid as long as the people concerned are making music."


If you're interested in developing a tan from an indoor tanning bed, you better understanding the dangers involved.
Tanning beds can be a quick and convenient way to bronze your skin, but it is not without side effects.
Continuous use of tanning beds have proven to cause burns, suppression of immune systems, wrinkles, leathery skin, damage to the cornea, cosmetic photosensitivity, premature aging and a much higher risk of developing melanoma cancer.
A recent study in Australia has proven that UVA rays are even more of a cancer danger than previously thought. The World Health Organisation says sunbeds are as big a cancer threat as smoking and asbestos.
We do not condone indoor sunbeds, we just want everyone to get all the facts before making an educated and informed choice.
One major draw card from using a tanning salon is the convenience and the quick tanning results. You can achieve the same results spending just 5 – 10 minutes on a tanning bed as apposed to spending 1 – 2 hours in the midday sun. This is achieved through intense bursts of UV radiation.
Tanning beds release EXTREMELY-HIGH levels of ultraviolet radiation. The intensity of the UVA radiation from tanning beds "can be 10 to 15 times higher than that of the midday sun," according to the report published in the journal Pediatrics. Twenty minutes in a booth exposes you to the same amount of damaging ultra-violet light as spending a day on a Mediterranean beach, according to experts.
We encourage everyone to take care in the sun by wearing sunscreen and avoiding tanning beds. Remember, there is no safe tan, so the best way is to fake it.

Reliance Jio Will Pay You up to Rs 50,000 per Month for Mobile Tower Installation
By Admin November 14, 2022 No Comments2 Mins Read
Although Reliance Jio may have the finest prepaid plans in the nation, the company's network still experiences frequent call dropouts and disconnections, and it appears that even major cities are not immune to the issue. Although call dropouts are a problem for almost all operators in the nation, they are more obvious with new operators.
Due to this, the Mukesh Ambani-led telco has recently started a programme to enhance the quality of its network and is providing rent payments of up to Rs. 50,000 per month to anyone wishing to construct a tower on their land. You can apply for the installation if you have a large enough roof or piece of land. Whether your home is in an urban or rural area, as well as how badly the company needs to expand its network there, will affect the rent.
Reliance Jio has previously offered rent between Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 30,000 per month with a minimum demand of an area of 2,000 sq ft on the ground or 500 sq ft on the roof.
If you're interested, you can submit an application by visiting the Property Owners page on the official website of Indus Towers, the business in charge of constructing cell towers for numerous telecoms in the nation, including Jio. Keep in mind that you'll need to provide evidence of property ownership and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the appropriate civic body. A land survey report and identification documentation will also be required by the company.
It's undoubtedly a cool way to make some extra money each month without having to pay a dime, but because researchers haven't yet addressed safety issues with radiation from cell towers or ecological devastation, one can only hope that people won't eventually experience health problems as a result of them.

Our TastyFloats system won the Audience Demo Award at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Surfaces and Spaces - lead author Dr Chi Thanh Vi. TastyFloats is a novel food transportation system that uses acoustic levitation to deliver food morsels to the users' tongue. In the associated paper we explored the technical and perceptual challenges to successfully levitate and deliver different types of foods on the tongue. Preliminary findings form a user study show that users perceive sweet and umami easily, even in minimal quantities, whereas bitter is the least detectable taste, despite its typical association with an unpleasant taste experience. The technology uses low-cost ultrasonic transducers to form a standing wave of ultrasound. The waves are manipulated in such a way that they act as 'acoustic holograms', creating invisible shapes that trap the object in place in mid-air. By changing these patterns, the food can be carried along on the wave and delivered to a precise location. While the current proof-of-concept device can only levitate tiny food morsels, the TastyFloats concepts vision is to deliver bigger items in the future, which can allow more complex combinations of food items (almost like a meal). The invention is likely to excite not just chefs but technology and gaming companies who are already exploring ways of integrating taste, touch and smell into our entertainment experiences.

This year in September the British Science Festival was held in Brighton, co-hosted by the University of Sussex. The SCHI ("sky") Lab was actively involved, eager to share inspiration with three sense-engaging events.
The first event was Dario and Luis presenting our haptically enhanced table football, using force feedback in the sticks for a more engaging experience. We presented on Tuesday 5th in the Seven Stars Pub, giving people a chance to experience an enhanced version of the classic game (see here for the paper).
For the second event lead by Damien, we took part in "Brighton Museum Late: breaking the glass" organised by the Creative Technology Research Group. We presented 4 "sensory enhanced" paintings, taking advantage of our sense of touch, taste, and smell. Participants were invited to answer questionnaires to help us understand how people experience multisensory art (to advance our previous work).
The final event was a talk on Friday 8th. Emanuela and Dmitrijs presented insights into the sense of smell, showing how powerful it can be for a fragrant future.

The History of Beaverbrook - Discover the Story
Tales from a bygone era
Beaverbrook embraces the luxury of now in the true spirit of the past. The story of its most famous resident, Lord Beaverbrook, still remains interwoven throughout its walls.
A kingmaker, powerbroker (and sometime mischief maker), Lord Beaverbrook was a consummate politician, publicist of boundless energy, and great friend of Winston Churchill. His newspapers, the Daily Express and Sunday Express, could make or break almost anyone, and he hosted the great and the good at Beaverbrook during his time there. Take a look at the estate's visitor's book and you'll see for yourself.
A Surrey estate steeped in history
The origins of Beaverbrook
The late Victorian mansion, set among acres of prime Surrey parkland, is built for businessman Abraham Dixon.
Some 13 years later, in 1879, the man who would later be known as Lord Beaverbrook, Max Aitken, was born in Ontario, Canada.
New ownership
Following the death of Abraham Dixon, the Surrey house and estate is put up for sale.
Whilst out driving with his friend Rudyard Kipling, Lord Beaverbrook noticed the 'For sale' sign. He purchased the property after a single inspection, paying £30,000.
The transformation begins
Lord Beaverbrook spent a further £10,000 on improvements including the installation of electricity, heating, a swimming pool, and one of the UK's first home cinemas.
In the same year, he become an MP, was knighted by King George V, and bought a controlling interest in the Evening Standard.
An elevation to The House of Lords
Beaverbrook is elevated to The House of Lords - taking the name "Beaverbrook" from a small community near his boyhood home.
The war effort
During WWII, after Beaverbrook's friend, Winston Churchill, becomes Prime Minister, Beaverbrook is appointed Minister of Aircraft Production.
He instigated the famous wartime 'Saucepans for Spitfires' campaign, asking people to give up their aluminium pans so that they could be melted down to make much-needed Spitfires.
An installation called "Radio Bungalow" is used to communicate with Europe throughout the war. Beaverbrook's Estate is reported to have been used as an alternative war bunker, hosting the entire war cabinet on occasions.
He is later appointed Minister of Supply, then Minister of War Production.
A post-wartime era
After the war, Beaverbrook withdrew from politics, although he continued to support Churchill. His focus moved towards his business and newspaper interests, and to writing and publishing historical and political books.
The later years
In 1963, Beaverbrook remarried the widow of his friend Sir James Dunn, Marcia Anastasia Christoforides.
A year later, he died, leaving the house to her.
It was here she remained until her death in 1994.
Restoration begins
Following several years of restoration work of the house and gardens, Beaverbrook is opened to the public.
The property is bought by Longshot Cherkley Court Ltd, who set about bringing the estate back to life whilst retaining its special character.
The hotel, restaurants and spa are now closed, as we continue to adhere to the latest government guidelines. We look forward to seeing you once again when we reopen our doors.

Lawyers in Nigeria Police Force
"Lawyers shall treat one another with respect, fairness, consideration and dignity, and shall not allow any ill-feeling between opposing clients to influence their conduct and demeanour towards one another…" Rule 26 {1} Rules of professional conduct for legal practitioners (2007).
In his relationship with other lawyers, a lawyer shall observe good faith and fairness in dealing with other lawyers; it doesn't matter if he is in private practice or under the employ of any government parastatal. Once a lawyer gets involved in an interaction of whatever sort, the relationship ethically ought to be professional and cordial, whatever may be the ill feeling existing between clients, it should not be allowed to influence the counsel in their conduct and demeanour towards each other.
Sadly, the case is not so with some lawyers in the employ of the Nigeria Police Force. There are quite a number of those who are professional in their dealings with other lawyers but then, there are a few bad eggs. A young lawyer once told me of an incident where a police officer who claimed to be a lawyer tried to haul him into a police van for no genuine legal reason.
It is important to note that if a lawyer is found violating the laws of the land he is subject to arrest as provided under the law. Even those saddled with enforcing the law must act within the confine of the law, as no one is exempted from the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria, both the lawyer and the police.
If a lawyer is found wanting, the police has a duty to act but in accordance with the law. A police officer who is a legal practitioner should be in a better position to understand the legal implications and act accordingly. A police officer is empowered by law to arrest any person without a warrant if the person commits an offense in his presence, (b) he reasonably suspects a person of committing an indictable offense, (c) the police officer is obstructed while executing his duty, (d) a person escapes or attempts to escape from lawful custody, et al. This sows that every police officer should or ought to know the requirements of a valid arrest, but sadly the reality is different from what is provided.
We have so many awaiting trial inmates in Nigerian Prisons today because one police officer or the other did not do what he is expected to do in accordance with the law, the prosecution processes are messed up, bail applications that ought not to be hectic as provided by law is a nightmare for any young lawyer, the Miranda rights are hardly read to a suspect before arrest, the right to remain silent as enshrined in the constitution is often violated, and so on. This does not speak well for the Police Force.
It is even more disheartening when a lawyer in private practice without committing an offense introduces himself to a police officer on duty who is a lawyer, yet the police officer uses the vulnerability of the young wig at that time to embarrass and demean a fellow colleague.
Police officers are employed for the prevention and detection of crime, the apprehension of offenders, the preservation of law and order, the protection of lives and property and the due enforcement of all laws and regulations with which they are directly charged, and not to intimidate citizens with their uniform and rifle.
Now that the Federal Government has pledged to recruit 10,000 police officers, a legal officer should either be provided in every police station or easily reachable to avoid certain unnecessary squabbles that ensue between lawyers and policemen when a suspect client is sought to be released from their custody.
There are quite a number of good police officers who perform their duties optimally and in accordance with the law, it is however unfortunate that the bad eggs are the ones we mostly meet on a day-to-day basis, and this sets of officers have soiled the good image of the Nigeria Police.

One Sign Per Day is a virtual initiative to spread knowledge of Indian sign language to make the society more inclusive for persons with disability. A subscription-based initiative of Bengaluru-based Enable India, One Sign Per Day broadcasts a micro video of a new word in the Indian sign language every day through a WhatsApp broadcast. This broadcast system, rather than a group, also ensures the privacy and security of subscribers who cannot be disturbed by other subscribers. Enable India also uses Facebook to share these videos. The initiative caters to parents of deaf children, special educators, employers and anybody else who would want to communicate with persons who are hearing impaired.
The need for such an initiative was realised because there are only 250 sign language interpreters in a population of 8 million deaf people in India alone. So far, One Sign Per Day has been able to register more than 1,000 subscribers. Interestingly, Enable India has noticed an increase in demand for these subscriptions at corporates due to the change in policy of hiring persons with disability.

Passaic-born actress Diane Guerrero joins push for national Latino museum
Herb Jackson
NorthJersey
Latino members of Congress from both parties said Thursday that a national museum devoted to their people's contributions to American history is long overdue, and Passaic-born actress and immigration activist Diane Guerrero was there to urge them on.
"This is the kind of stuff me and my friends talk about. We sit around and drink coffee and we're really angry: We're like, 'Where's the Latino Museum?'" Guerrero, a star of "Orange is the New Black" and "Jane the Virgin," said at a news conference at the Capitol. "Where can we go with our families, where can we go with our friends to learn about our history?"
Born in Passaic, Guerrero was raised in Boston and was 14 when her parents were taken by immigration authorities and deported to Colombia. She has become outspoken on behalf of immigrants, including "dreamers" such as herself.
"I dreamed of being an artist," Guerrero said. "I loved to sing and dance and play-act and I always believed that my dream to become an actor would come true because my immigrant parents had taught me to believe in the American dream."
In a brief interview, she said being born in the United States was "the greatest gift that I've ever received."

Lawmakers arrayed behind her included Sen. Bob Menendez, a Democrat from Paramus, and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., who have been pushing Congress to create a National Museum of the American Latino through the Smithsonian Institution.
"Since the dawn of our democracy Hispanic Americans have been an indisputable part of American history and new chapters of that history are written every day," said Menendez, whose parents fled Cuba just before he was born in New York City.
Menendez said he wants the museum to be built "right where it belongs, on the National Mall, beside the Native American Museum, the African American Museum."
Menendez said a bill being reintroduced on Thursday has bipartisan support — his cosponsors include Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas — and would build on legislation passed in 2008 and create a 19-member board of trustees to work with the Smithsonian board of regents on planning, design and construction.
The board would also be able to receive federal appropriations along with the private donations that museum backers have been raising, Menendez said.
Lawmakers were asked to gauge the odds of the museum getting federal backing under President Donald Trump, who has called for building a wall along the Mexico border and taken a harder stance on deportations, when it didn't happen under President Barack Obama.
Ros-Lehtinen, who has announced her retirement from Congress after this term, said she would not accept the premise that the current environment is hostile to Latinos.
"But this would be a great opportunity to make amends for previous errors," she said.
