Did they file for bankruptcy? Despite resident opposition and signs proclaiming, "Buy No Milk. It's probably safe to say that the four guys who put the festival together really had no idea what they were getting themselves into.
Daitaur says:
No one got punched for trying to buy their way to the front of the porta-potty line. By using drugs, hippies discovered a new way to view the world. Burt Cohen, and his design group, Curtain Call Productions, oversaw the psychedelic transformation of the office.
Tejind says:
He spent much of the weekend wandering around the festival grounds, despite the fact that he was scheduled to be the final performer. Others continued to be enraged:
Taulkree says:
Mitchell had to settle for watching the events unfold on television. According to the image caption, he was "thrown from the trunk of a car," but an ambulance wasn't able to get to him because there was just no way through the traffic. Studio to film the festival for possible release as documentary film.


With the first contests unfolding next year in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire, small-town voters will play a critical role in not only choosing the next Democratic nominee but perhaps the next President. And the early attention could help the eventual nominee on rural issues and compete for votes in places that gave President Trump his most intense support in 2016.
This has been my advice for the DNC since 2016.
-That could flip states like Iowa, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina -- even Florida -- that propelled Trump to an Electoral College majority.
They just chose Wisconsin for the Dem Convention.
Yep, 77,000 votes over 3 Rust Belt states, a fraction of a fraction of a percent. One of the biggest failures in election history ever to hear some people tell about it.
And those voters said it was because she was too far left for their comfort.
"And those voters said it was because she was too far left for their comfort."
Should probably ask them where they got their information from.
What they said was that Bernie had pushed her too far left... which is prolly what Fox News told them... although most news was saying that was what was happening.
I agree, if she have just talked to them, at all, they might have overcome their discomfort with her and turned the tide. But she didn't, thinking that because she had NY and CA locked up she had it in the bag.
Clearly Booker, Harris, Warren and Sanders realize that was a massive fcck up by Abuela, even if Corky refuses to acknowledge it.
lol... the way I know I'm right is Pauncy P. is flagging my posts funny.
Even Nate Silver agrees that Hillary's campaign (and his own projections) fccked up, he is just Monday Morning Quarterbacking trying to figure out how it went so horribly wrong.
His headline is, Clinton's Ground Game Didn't Cost Her The Election.... which is what happened.
Yeah... she won the popular vote, and lost the electoral college by a slim number of actual voters, all while both the FBI and Russia were doing their best to tilt the election away from her.
I fully believe that if she and skipped a couple of fund raisers in Hollywood to visit Wisconsin she would have won.
Which means in is almost certainly not true... you being almost a perfect reverse barometer of reality.
Dems should really campaign on robo calls. Everyone hates robocalls and they have skyrocketed under trump's FCC because trump's FCC is run by a corporate puppet.
That means you think people would have been convinced to vote for hillary by seeing her give her speeches on the local news instead of on the national news. Or maybe they'd even go see the speech in person. But it's still the same candidate selling the same message.
I dont know what kind of idiot changes their mind just because they hear something live instead of on tv.
The candidate should be a veteran, farmer, or have blue collar experience. No hypocrisy is also important. And the whole beer and a bbq thing, and they hunt wild game. White and male is a definite plus, but if he/she was a minority and did these things the whole white-male thing would matter less.
Speaksoftly, I hope you have some influence and share your thoughts and insights with the DNC.
The DNC doesn't listen to me. THey'll spend the next year trying to jam biden or harris down our throats. Anything to avoid upsetting the plutocracy.
Just because it's a very good point.
- The DNC doesn't listen to me.
No, they listen to Dem voters.
Sure they do. The DNC isn't after big donors at all. Nope. They just want a fair contest. Yup that's it.
Poll Denial, a Puridopian thing.
Cling to those polls cork. Worked out great last time.
He is regurgitating 2016 talking points. He hasn't learnt a damned thing. Not one damned thing.
Well, what do you think Ms. Kansas?
Dems making rural inroads while repubs are still making rural inbreds.
According to the Repubs, most of what you listed is "far-left". Their strategy is to label every Democratic candidate and policy as "far-left" and "socialist" no matter what it is.
- Cling to those polls.... Worked out great last time.
At this point in 2014, when 2016 primary polling was gearing up, Donald Trump hadn't declared himself as running for president and wasn't being included in any primary surveys. However, that is the only example of a time that the ultimate nominee for a main party hasn't been in the top five of early polls taken since 1996.
In fact, every cycle except for the 2016 Republican primary and the 2004 Democratic primary had the eventual party nominee in the top three for their party at this point.
To put it another way, in open primaries where there is no incumbent since 1996, the candidate who went on to win their primary was in the top three of an aggregate of polls taken between November (post-election) and January (two years before the election) 7 out of 9 times."
- hasn't learnt a damned thing. Not one damned thing.
True, you obviously have not.
You're commenting as if there was 100% voter turnout. Yeah, maybe she couldn't swing those 77,000 to vote for her, but she could have convinced another 78,000 to vote for her.
Would have been minuscule in the big picture, no? Just a fraction of a fraction of effort, no?
You deny Rasmussen, but want us to accept your single poll as gospel?
Try doing the consistent thing. It'll help you out tremendously.
Finally dropped the nobiasposter nonsense?
I'm pretty good at sniffing out sock puppets. I'm pretty sure Nobias is not a Sheeple sock puppet. They have a couple of key differences in style along with a couple of ideological differences.
What will be truly funny is when the Dems lose in 2020 because Trump will pick up 25-30% of the Black vote and gain another 10-15% increase in the Hispanic vote. Dems can't win if they can't keep Blacks on the plantation. With a strong economy and people's lives vastly better than they were in 2016, the Lib message of massive changes being required will fall on deaf ears.
you'd sooner find a unicorn than win those with a new idea.
"Trump will pick up 25-30% of the Black vote"
What's your name gonna be after i make you eat this post?
Travolta is the owner of a Boeing 707 with registration N707JT. The jet is normally based at Travolta's house in Florida.
hmmmm I wonder why is that??
MUST BE BECAUSE THEY ARE SO LARGE YOU CAN'T MEASURE THE CARBON FOOT PRINT THEY GENERATE... yea that's the ticket.
Taking away other peoples stuff... THAT'S your new idea?
Out here in the sticks, we call that stealing and it's actually a very old idea.
"where you have to give up your car,motorcycle, jetski, snowmobile, lawn mower, leafblower, charcol grill, and air travel all to reduce our carbon foot print and "save" the planet..."
I'm okay with all of those things provided people pay for carbon remediation.
"Now....didja notice how AOC was busy calling Every American a piece of garbage all the while making sure the New Green Deal DID NOT put limits on Huge Mega Mansions, Huge Mega Yachts, and Private Huge Mega Jets....."
You have been overcome by body thetans.
jeff- "too long, didn't read"
Alex - thanks for clarifying.
ummmm shudda gone with SP...Suppressive Person, is a term used in Scientology to describe the "antisocial personalities" who, according to Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard, make up about 2.5% of the population.
...and well the richest 1% will get to keep their toys because their carbon sxxt don't stink.
Like they do in taxes... in that case, they'll be paying 0% just like they do in Taxes...."
You're making the good the enemy of the perfect.
Some people fuel their diesel cars with subsidied home heating oil that's dyed red. But that doesn't mean we should abandon that program.
Taxing carbon emissions will result in lower carbon emissions. Throw in a carbon allowance and it creates a market. That's cap and trade. It will work. You just don't want to have to pay anything because you're cheap and selfish.
"Don't ask me to do what you won't do.."
I don't. I ask everyone to pay for the CO2 they produce from fossil fuels. There's an easy way to pay nothing, which is don't burn any fossil fuels. With cap and trade you could actually make money, selling the allowances you don't use.
"NOPE saving the Earth is a ALL or NOTHING deal. Don't ask me to do what you won't do..."
I don't see Snoofy ever giving up the little campfire in the bowl of his bong.
But you can make that fire with a magnifying glass. Net zero CO2 emissions.

Pamlico Writers Group Welcomes Frank McNair for Workshop, Book Signing
October 11, 2017 Blueplate PR
The author of the award-winning new novel Life on the Line: Football, Rage, and Redemption will join the group on October 24th
The Pamlico Writers' Group in Washington, NC, will welcome author Frank McNair of Winston-Salem and Bath, NC, as Featured Author on Tuesday, October 24, from 7 to 9 p.m. McNair will read from his new, award-winning novel Life on the Line: Football, Rage, and Redemption, sign copies of the book, and conduct a mini-workshop on "Plotting and Keeping Up with Characters."
Open to the public, the event will be held at historic Turnage Theater, 150 West Main Street, Washington, NC. 27889.
Set in the rural South in 1965, Life on the Line is the story of two middle school boys struggling to understand themselves and the world around them as they meet on the football field and immediately despise each other.
A former football player himself, McNair draws his readers into play-by-play action during grueling practices and often violent, bloody games as the boys lead their team towards an undefeated season — despite the tension and animosity that escalates between them.
McNair's novel is built around football, but it also contains themes of family and faith, love and loss, and how all of that leads the boys to hard-won reconciliation. Earlier this year, it was named "Best Book" in the Young Adult category for the Spring 2017 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards."
Frank McNair grew up in Laurinburg, NC, where he was a member of the Scotland County High School "Fighting Scots" football team. A graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Morehead Scholar, he received his MBA degree from Wake Forest University. He has published successful non-fiction business books but Life on the Line is his first venture into fiction. He is currently working on a second novel, this one exploring the life of Christian faith, entitled A Creeping Certainty.
McNair and his wife Laura are active members of their church community, where they teach and contribute in other ways. They live with their beloved lab, Buddy Brown, in a house overlooking the woods in Winston-Salem when they're not in residence at their coastal home in Bath overlooking the Pamlico River.
The Pamlico Writers Group is affiliated with the Arts of the Pamlico and meets twice a month. Its mission is "to help other aspiring writers accomplish their goals in writing." For more information on the October 24th book signing and workshop: https://pamlicowritersgroup.wildapricot.org/event-2671367.

3) Truth leads to my holiness! – rather than truth leading to winning arguments.
4) Admit your fault! – the reason that I am not holy is because I don't wholly want to be.
5) Holiness isn't for him or her, it's for me! If I'm not called to be a monk, I am called to be a saint!
6) Be a Christian who sacrifices like Jesus!
7) Holiness is about me, now! It is not about past people in past ages.
8) Emulation rather than admiration! Don't just admire holy people of the past – emulate them.
Holiness isn't over there, it's right here.
Holiness isn't for him or her, it's for me.
Holiness isn't in the past, it's for my present.
Holiness isn't something I talk about, it's something I live.
it's for all to transform the world.
to become holy, as God is holy.
1) "The Church will succeed by one thing and one thing only; by the success it has in inspiring an absolutely radical, personal commitment of the faithful to live as Saints." Crocker determines that the best way, the real way, to win people to Christ Jesus is to first become holy. If I make a radical and personal commitment to become holy, as God is holy, I will become an infectious evangelizer. I will not even need to try to evangelize. The Spirit of Christ Jesus will exude from me and people will be drawn to want to know what my secret is.
2) "You don't win hearts and minds by handing out books and tracts. You win hearts and minds by loving your neighbor as yourself." Crocker goes on to say that this is not an either / or issue: either I persuade people through reason or I persuade people through my actions. He simply states that while both are necessary, personal witness has always been the more effective way of winning converts. I can tell people what they ought to do or I can do what I would tell people they ought to do. I can talk about what a Christian is like, or I can demonstrate what it means to be a Christian.
3) "An authentic appropriation of the truth always leads to a striving for holiness." Crocker speaks about the tendency to grab a truth and ram it into someone. When I learn a truth, I should ram it down my own throat, until it gets into my heart to change me, so that I want to live in this truth. The best of intellectuals search for truth to fulfill themselves first, and then share what they have first learned and begun to live.
4) "If you look into your own heart in utter honesty, you must admit that there was one and only one reason why you are not even now as saintly as the primitive Christians: you do not wholly want to be." Crocker quotes from William Law as found in Peter Kreeft's How to Win the Culture War. Is my whole being convinced and ready to become holy, without making excuses?
5) "If we are not called to be monks, we are most certainly called to be saints." It does not matter what my occupation. My vocation is to be holy. We are all supposed to love without counting the cost. We are all supposed to view people with unconditional love and respect and welcome. We are all supposed to be patient, tolerant and kind. We are all supposed to love the goodness of creation. This is not for someone else, with a different life, in different circumstances. It is for me. It is for now.
6) "We have decided to give without counting the cost." Crocker continues this universal call to be holy by purifying our motivation for doing this or that. I don't do this because it's what Christians have always done. I don't do this because natural law says to do this. I don't do this for any other reason or argument, as good as it may be. I do this because I have decided to follow Jesus. He speaks about the ancient Christians and how they convinced the pagans to become Christian by the way they lived and loved. "Look how they love," the pagans would comment. Crocker goes on to share a story about a woman who was abandoned by her husband and needed to find a way to raise her children. Christians filled her fridge with food, her wallet with cash. She became a Christian because of the way they loved her.
7) "Sanctity is not just for the men and women of history that we look up to and see reflected in stained glass, it is for us." Our homes must be seedbeds, that our children will grow up with a convinced desire to be holy, in whatever profession they pursue.
My 1st job (reason for existence): holiness.
My 2nd job (occupation): not as important.
8) "We must remember not just to admire these saints, to pray for their intercession, but to emulate them." The same theme has been repeated over and over: holiness isn't over there, it's right here; holiness isn't for him or her, it's for me; holiness isn't for the past, it's for my present; holiness isn't something I talk about, it's something I live; holiness isn't for the few who rise above the world, it's for all to transform the world; holiness isn't a once in a while thing, it's a radical and personal commitment which I must make today and every day, to become holy, as God is holy.

The Extraordinary Life of WILPFer Lois Snow Is Now a Film
"War is not healthy for children and other living things" reads the poster on the wall of Lois's new flat in the closing shot of A Home Far Away.
Those few words are the metaphor of a lifetime spent engaging against war, the proliferation of nuclear weapons, death sentence and racial discrimination, as depicted in the historical movie A Home Far Away by Peter Entell. The documentary invites the viewer to explore the life of WILPFer Lois Snow, from the 1940s, when as a young Broadway and Hollywood actress she meets her husband, Edgar Snow, to today.
A Home Far Away
The movie opens with 90-year old Lois, who looks at some old albums and documents, while she remembers her past and thinks that her beautiful house in Switzerland is going to be raised to the ground and she is going to move to a new flat.
The extraordinary story of her life begins when she meets the world acclaimed journalist Edgar Snow, who becomes her husband in 1949. Edgar Snow is the first Western journalist to have accessed a forbidden area in China to meet, interview and film Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai at a time when they were considered bandits by the local government. He is also the author of the controversial book Red Star over China, which is an account of the Chinese Communist movement from its foundation until the late 1930s.
Under McCarthy, both Lois and her husband are blacklisted due to their fascination for the Middle Country and their allegedly communist sympathies. They are harassed by the FBI and in 1959 they leave the US to go into exile in Switzerland and never return to America.
Lois and China
Lois goes to China for the first time with her husband in 1970 and she is amazed by the warm welcome they receive from Mao. But Edgar is deceived by the opportunities Mao's Revolution has missed in eradicating poverty, illiteracy, famine and corruption.
Two years after the travel to China, Edgar dies of cancer, but Lois continues to write articles and deal with Mao, the Chines authorities and the international press.
However, her privileged relation with China does not prevent her from denouncing human rights violations in the country and after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre she flies to Beijing to opposes openly the Chinese authorities.
A strong-minded woman
Lois is now 92 and she keeps looking outward. She was a long time member of WILPF and she keeps cutting out articles and writing letters against human rights violations, global warming, the economy and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If you happen to be in Switzerland, you can get a chance to meet her and the film director, Peter Entell, at the premiere of the film on the following dates:
Monday, 25thFebruary at 6:30 PM at cinema BIO (Carouge).
Tuesday, 5th March at 8 PM at cinema Capitole (Nyon).
Wednesday, 6th March at 7 PM at cinema Pathé Les Galeries (Lausanne).
The movie will be in cinemas from 6th March.

11th Day, 11th Hour
Thinking more about Remembrance Day this year for a variety of reasons and because we are back in the Maritimes, my boys will be laying a wreath in honour of their great-grandfather, a lovely man who I wish they could have known.
I received the following video from Linda Granfield, author of Remembering John McCrae: Soldier-Doctor-Poet. McCrae was, of course, the author of "In Flanders Field."
Here's the info on the video:
"11th Day, 11th Hour" is a song that honours all who have served in the armed forces. The accompanying video pays tribute to those from Canada and the United Kingdom who served during the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, in peacekeeping efforts and now the war in Afghanistan. Recently, the song has been arranged for a children's choir. It provides a companion piece to the song "In Flanders Fields," performed by many choirs around the world. "11th Day, 11 th Hour" was written by Saxon-Jaimes-Dooley and appeared (original version) on a 2001 CD called "The Poppy Disc."
Pass it on.


The last month of last year was a busy time for the press. So much time was spent printing, binding, and shipping books, that I didn't have a chance to announce the December publication of these four new chapbooks. But now that I've sort of caught up, it seems time to let more people know about these new additions to the Red Dragonfly Press list.
Each is available for $10, but supplies are limited and they're going fast.


We have heard about the Finnish giant, Nokia planning to step into the world of tablets by launching its own tablet device but then we still have not seen any significant development on this front for some time.
But now in an interview to FT, Nokia's chairman, Jorma Ollila has revealed that the company will keep up to the promise and is planning to launch a range of tablets and hybrid smart mobile devices.
Jorma Ollila has agreed that Nokia has failed to make an impact in the smartphone market with competitors over-powering the Finnish company which has recently seen a huge downfall in revenue but this will not keep the company away from launching new tablets in various form factors and also launching new services in combination to it.
So this confirms that we'll see some nice tablets from Nokia very soon but we still don't know the timeframe as to when the company plans to take the next step and compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung who are currently the leaders in both the mobile and tablet market.
We are still not aware as to which OS the company would bring the tablet on but as it has a great partnership with Microsoft, the chances of a Windows 8 tablet cannot be ruled out totally. Would you buy a Windows 8 powered, Nokia tablet? Would it look like the mockup above? Time will tell.

«Майдан Незалежности» () — 15-я станция Киевского метрополитена. Расположена в Печерском районе, на Оболонско-Теремковской линии, между станциями «Почтовая площадь» и «Площадь Льва Толстого».

Открыта 17 декабря 1976 года под названием «Площадь Калинина» () в составе первой очереди строительства Куренёвско-Красноармейской линии. Менее чем через год, 17 октября 1977 года, в честь празднования 60-летия Октябрьской социалистической революции, одновременно с переименованием центральной площади города станция также сменила название — «Площадь Октябрьской Революции» (). При этом в метро уже была станция с названием «Октябрьская» («Жовтневая», ныне «Берестейская»).

Нынешнее название — с 26 августа 1991 года. Пассажиропоток — 39,1 тыс. чел./сутки (2009 год).
Станция была закрыта с 26 февраля по 20 декабря 2022 года в связи с вторжением России на Украину.

Конструкция
Станция глубокого заложения (≈71 м). Имеет подземный зал с островной посадочной платформой. Своды зала станции опираются на два ряда колонн. Станция имеет один выход, средний зал при помощи эскалаторного туннеля с четырёхленточным одномаршевым эскалатором соединён с подземным вестибюлем, который выходит в подземный переход под площадью Независимости. Наземный вестибюль отсутствует.

Оформление
Центральная станция Оболонско-Теремковской линии, первая пересадочная. Станция глубокого заложения с новой конструктивной схемой — колонная. Внутреннее подземное пространство самой станции полностью раскрыто благодаря применению конструкций с металлическими колоннами-пилонами небольшого сечения, в результате чего средний и боковой залы сливаются в единый объём. Необычна форма колонн — они словно сделаны из плиссированной белой бумаги. Неудачным оказалось закарнизное освещение, которое согласно замыслу авторов должно было «оторвать» своды от колонн. В 1980-е годы разрабатывались варианты модернизации освещения станции, однако из-за недостатка средств они не были реализованы. Здесь впервые (наряду со станцией «Красная площадь») в киевском метро путевые стены были облицованы мрамором, а не кафельной плиткой. Оформление станции посвящено событиям первых лет советской власти — борьбе за власть советов, индустриализации, электрификации, развитию промышленности.

До первого переименования станции частью её оформления был профильный портрет-барельеф М. И. Калинина, впоследствии перенесённый на киевский завод имени Калинина (ныне не существует).

Пересадки
Является частью пересадочного узла между Оболонско-Теремковской и Святошинско-Броварской линиями. Станция «Майдан Незалежности» связана со станцией «Крещатик» двумя переходами — эскалаторным и пешеходным туннелями. Переход в торце центрального зала, оборудованный четырёхленточными одномаршевыми эскалаторами, был открыт в 1976 году, одновременно со станцией. Второй, обходной пешеходный тоннель, выход из которого расположен по центру зала, был построен и открыт 3 декабря 1986 года, после того, как выяснилось, что первый переход между линиями не справлялся с пиковым пассажиропотоком.

В утренние и вечерние часы «пик» пересадки работают в одностороннем режиме с разведением пассажиропотоков: пешеходный (длинный) тоннель — в направлении с «Крещатика» на «Майдан Незалежности», а эскалаторный (короткий) — с «Майдана Незалежности» на «Крещатик». При этом все четыре ленты эскалаторов работают на подъём. В остальное время короткий переход работает в двустороннем режиме. Около входов на пересадки со стороны станции «Крещатик» размещены объявления с режимом их работы, а также световые (красный/зелёный) указатели.

Немалая длина пешеходного тоннеля создаёт неудобства для пассажиров. Согласно Государственной программе развития метрополитенов до 2010 года тут было запланировано провести реконструкцию с установкой траволатора. В начале 2012 года был проведен ремонт переходного тоннеля, поверх асфальтового напольного покрытия было уложено гранитное, которое из-за своей скользкости вызвало много нареканий пассажиров. В связи с этим, в 2013 году планируется установка разделительных барьеров с поручнями вдоль всего пешеходного тоннеля.

I'm getting a little bit closer to solving the mystery of the invalid password. I've got an example of a password which couldn't work - it's one that contains a diacritical mark. That means that passwords containing umlauts and Chinese characters, say, will not work.
Now why does the same password work in Postfix Enabler for Panther and not Postfix Enabler for Tiger?
Postfix Enabler for Panther was built using AppleScript Studio. It is clear now that AppleScript's "do shell script with administrator privileges and password" command handles diacriticals the correct way.
"do shell script" changed in Tiger and I re-wrote Postfix Enabler for Tiger using Objective-C to avoid doing major surgery to my shell scripts. It's clear now that I hadn't emulated "do shell script"'s old behaviour quite far enough.
There must be a way to do it, though exactly how "do shell script" did it is not clear to me. But, at least, I have a lead to work on now.

It has shot up to 50 pc in Phase-III survey carried out in the middle of this month 1 in 2 persons in State Capital Has antibodies E xpress N ews S ervice @ Bhubaneswar Seven months after the first Covid-19 case of Odisha was detected in Bhubaneswar, around half of the population of the Capital city is estimated to have developed antibodies following exposure to the novel coronavirus. The results of the third phase serosurvey carried out in the city by Regional Medical Research Centre (RMRC) in collaboration with the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation and Health department this month has shown a quantum jump in antibody prevalence in general population from just around five per cent (pc) in August to 50 pc two months thereafter. The survey was conducted between October 16 and 18. A total 1,403 samples were randomly collected from 25 wards and one in two persons was found to have been exposed to the infection. "The latest study shows a huge jump in sero positivity among Bhubaneswar population as compared to the previous ones carried out in July and August," said RMRC director Sanghamitra Pati. In the first phase survey carried out in July, only 1.42 pc of city's population was found to be exposed to novel coronavirus which had gone up to 5.1 pc in the second phase conducted on August 28. Pati said the sero-prevalence varied from ward to ward. It was only 28 pc in ward no 55 against 63 pc in ward no 16. Prevalence of antibodies among people was more than 60 pc in five wards and 50 pc in another five wards. The study, however, found no major difference in sero positivity among any gender or age group indicating that all have been uniformly exposed to the virus. As high as 90 pc of the people who had developed antibodies were asymptomatic. Besides, 30 pc of the people had already been tested through rapid antigen or RT-PCR, Health officials said with 50 pc people still not exposed to the virus, all safety guidelines need to be followed religiously . The RMRC has carried out nine rounds of serosurvey at different places in the State between July and October. The next round will be conducted in Cuttack on November 2, sources said.

However, the order may not enforceable as Antrix does not have any assets in the US, a senior official informed on condition of anonymity. "There is nothing which the (US) court can attach. However, any decision in India's Supreme Court will be binding," the official said. The Devas-Antrix case is still in the Supreme Court, which had earlier directed a tribunal to hear it. The 2005 deal pertained to Antrix launching and operating two satellites and making 70 MHz of S-band spectrum available to Devas to enable it to provide communication services across India. However, in 2011, Antrix issued a termination notice to Devas, invoking force majeure (unforeseeable circumstances Matter of jurisdiction Two years ago, Antrix sought the dismissal of the suit citing jurisdiction as the agreement and its termination occurred in India. But Devas said the US court had jurisdiction as Antrix conducted business across the US that prevent fulfilling a contract) and justifying it saying that it was a policy decision of the Union government in its sovereign capacity . The order of the US district judge, Wester n District of Washington, Seattle, which came on October 27, directed Antrix to pay $562.5 million (`4,196 crore) plus interest to Devas, totaling $1.2 billion. When contacted, Antrix Chairman and Managing Director Rakesh Sashibhushan refused to offer any comment. 7K tonnes In a major breakthrough, Berhampur police on Friday busted an Indian Premier League (IPL) betting racket having links with Dubai as well as major cities in the country and arrested two persons. The arrested persons are R Lalie Achary (50) of Gosaninuagaon and K Prasant Kumar Subudhi (43) of Gandhinagar in the city A whopping `33.61 lakh cash, four cell . phones and three ATM cards were seized from the duo. DIG (Southern Range) Satyabrata Bhoi said last week, Aska police had arrested three agents involved in placing bets on ongoing IPL matches in UAE. During interrogation, police came to know that a racket was active throughout the State including Berhampur and Bhubaneswar. In the course of investigation, it was found that Lalie was the kingpin of the racket. He was involved in betting for the last five to seven years. The accused have links with bookies of Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi and Dubai, the DIG said. The IPL betting syndicate operating out of Berhampur had a punter base spread across several cities in the country and even @ Bhubaneswar Amid growing concerns over Covid-19 reinfection, three persons from different districts of the State have been found to be infected for the second time within a period of two to four months of recovery . The three, all men, aged 49, 52 and 62 are now under treatment and observation. The manifestation of the disease has been found to be more severe among the patients this time. The 62-year-old has been put on ventilator support. Official sources said all three persons were asymptomatic when they tested positive for the first time.

While 7,000 tonnes of onion have already been imported, 25,000 tonnes more is expected to arrive before Diwali | P7 3 reinfection cases come to fore in State outside. The betting takes place over teams and important matches of the IPL. "The bookies were earlier dependent on physical transactions through their respective agents. But now, the entire operation is being carried out online over mobile phones. As multiple layers (chain of people, bookies and customers) are involved, it usually gets difficult for enforcement agencies to track down such syndicates," Bhoi said. Berhampur SP Pinak Mishra said as the apps and websites used to carry out betting were registered outside the country including Dubai, it is suspected that the roots of the illegal trade has spread to various other countries too. "This particular syndicate had set up its own network and the conduits used to collect money through their agents. The entire operation was controlled by the prime accused Lalie," he said. It is believed that the total volume of business may go up to `5 to `10 lakh per day . Mishra said police are facing difficulties in collecting credible evidence as the entire operation was conducted online and there is no physical trail. "We suspect involvement of many more individuals in the syndicate who would be nabbed soon." Even as the ruling BJD and Congress have intensified campaign for the November 3 bypoll to Tirtol Assembly constituency, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Friday addressed six rallies seeking support for BJP candidate Raj Kishore Behera | P4 We have collected samples of the three persons. After genome analysis, it can be ascertained whether they have been infected by the same clade or a different clade is responsible Dr Ajay Parida, Director, ILS is critical, tested positive again after two and a half months of the first infection. The two others have developed mild symptoms. Confirming the cases of reinfection, Director of Institute of Life Sciences Dr Ajay Parida said their samples have been collected for genome sequencing and fur- ther studies to ascertain what led to the relapse. "We have samples of the three when they had first tested positive and collected new samples again. After genome analysis, it can be ascertained whether they have been infected by the same clade or a different clade is responsible," Dr Parida said. The ILS is conducting genome sequencing of more than 200 samples collected from different parts of the State. The results are expected in next two weeks. State Health department authorities, however, refused to comment. "We are yet to receive any report from the laboratory . We can comment only after a detailed study is done," said a senior official. Process begins for Rahul comeback in Congress EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ New Delhi With chorus growing for former Congress president Rahul Gandhi to come back, the All India Congress Committee (AICC) will soon call a session to elect a new chief. All state units have been asked to send details of members who are eligible to vote. "This is to inform you that AICC intends to convene its meeting as soon as possible, and you will be intimated as soon as dates and venue are finalised," said a note sent to state units by Congress' Central Election Authority headed by Madhusudan Mistry . According to party sources, the session will be held by the end of the year or early next year. It would be a day-long affair, they added. "Rahul is most likely to take over the reins of the party and his coming back has been planned ahead of the Assembly election in five states, including Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, next year. He is already part of all key decisions made by the party and it will Party revamp There is, however, no clarity on when elections to the Congress Working Committee, the party's powerful decision-making body, would be held be just an official comeback for him," said a leader. In August, Congress' interim president Sonia Gandhi had said a new president would be elected by February 2021. The move came after 23 senior party veterans including Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Kapil Sibal and Shashi Tharoor wrote to her seeking organisational elections and a new leader. While the letter questioned Rahul Gandhi's style of functioning, other leaders such as Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot, Chhattisgarh CM Bhupesh Bhagel, several state Congress chiefs and all Lok Sabha MPs beloning to the party had beseeched Rahul to take over the reins if Sonia wants to step down.

The festival of Las Fallas, in the city of Valencia in Spain, is the kind of event that brings the entire community together... it is a loud, smoky and high-spirited fiesta where the whole town is, literally, set ablaze!
The festival welcomes spring and honours Saint Joseph's Day with the burning of giant elaborate sculptures and effigies of wood and plastic.
It all started as a feast day for St Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters. It then evolved into a five-day, multifaceted celebration involving fire. Today, an estimated three million flame-loving revelers are part of the Las Fallas celebrations.
The focus of the fiesta is the creation and destruction of puppets - which are made of huge cardboard, wood, papier-mâché and plaster. A popular theme is poking fun at corrupt politicians and Spanish celebrities. The labour that goes into the creation of each statue takes almost a year in its own right.
According to the legend, Las Fallas originated as an evolution of pagan rituals that celebrated the onset of spring and the planting season. In the sixteenth century, Valencia used streetlights only during the longer nights of winter. The street lamps were hung on wooden structures - called parots - and as the days became longer the now-unneeded parots were ceremoniously burned on St Joseph's Day.
During the event, one can enjoy bullfights, parades, paella contests and beauty pageants. Spontaneous fireworks displays explode everywhere during the days leading up to La Crema. The highlight, though, is the daily mascletá which occurs in the Plaza Ayuntamiento at exactly 2 pm.
A glimpse at the festival of fire!

Q: Are there any other Parselmouths mentioned in canon, besides Harry, Tom and Salazar? Tom Riddle says to Harry, that they are both probably the only Parselmouths in Hogwarts since Salazar Slytherin.
Parselmouth is said to be a rare gift, but is it really so rare? Are there really no mentions of other Parselmouths than those 3?

A: The other two answers both show that clearly Harry, Tom and Salazar weren't the only Parselmouths mentioned in canon, but I want to tackle a slightly different assertion:

"Probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himself."
— Chamber of Secrets, chapter 16, The Chamber of Secrets

Either Tom is deliberately lying, or he's woefully uninformed about his ancestry. In an interview in 2007, JK Rowling said that "[Parseltongue] is a weird ability passed down through the Slytherin blood line." It would be very surprising if nobody from Slytherin's family ever attended the school.
In fact, Pottermore gives us at least one such Gaunt who was at the school, at the time of a fairly major event in the Chamber's history (transcript):

The presence in school at the time of a student called Corvinus Gaunt – direct descendant of Slytherin, and antecedent of Tom Riddle

Undoubtedly a Parselmouth, and at the school well before Tom. Pottermore also mentions a whole family of Gaunts who attended the school (although it's unclear whether the Gaunts we see in the memories in Half-Blood Prince were educated there), so Tom was not only not a unique Parselmouth, he wasn't even the first Parselmouth at Hogwarts.

A: One new Parselmouth is mentioned in HP and the Cursed Child;
Delphini Diggory

 AKA Delphini Riddle, the supposed daughter of Tom Riddle (Voldemort) and Bellatrix Lestrange.

A: Harry Potter, Tom Riddle, and Salazar Slytherin are the main Parselmouths in the series, but Morfin and Marvolo Gaunt also speak Parseltongue and are Parselmouths. It's not overly clear if Merope Gaunt is a Parselmouth, too, but I will double check on that. In the chapter The House of Gaunt in Half-Blood Prince, it's clear Merope understands Parseltongue, but she doesn't speak much, if at all, in the story.
Dumbledore is not a Parselmouth. He understands Parseltongue but the books don't indicate that he speaks it. You have to be able to speak Parseltongue in order to be a bona fide Parselmouth.
I was going to put in Herpo the Foul as a Parselmouth, per Mooz, but my copy of FBAWTFT has the Basilisk entry on page 4. Page 25 is Leprechaun and Lethifold. I'm looking at the Scholastic version of FBAWTFT. Herpo the Foul seems to be associated with making the first Horcrux, though (I'm not saying he didn't create the first Basilisk too, but I cannot find in canon confirmation that he was a Parselmouth) and J.K. Rowling says this about Herpo:

SU: (laughs) Oh, yeah. (JN: Yes.) Oh, but Jo, those Horcruxes, though, I tell ya. There's so much to ask still about those. Okay, we have to know. Who created the first Horcrux? Was it Grindelwald? Salazar? Who did that?
  JKR: Do you know what? I got a feeling it was Herpo, (SU: Oh!) which is H-E-R-P-O. (SU: Herpo the Foul?) I think I called him Herpo the Foul. Exactly, yeah. Yeah. But, you know, wizards would have been looking for ways to do exactly what Voldemort did for years. And some of the ways they would have tried would've killed them. So, I imagine it- well, they're huge parallels- splitting the atom would be a very good parallel in our world. Something that people imagine might be able to do be done, but couldn't quite bring it off and then people started doing it, with sometimes catastrophic effects. So that's how I see the Horcrux.
Interview with J.K. Rowling - The Leaky Cauldron - 12.23.07

Please correct me if I am wrong about Herpo the Foul. I only looked through the A-Z section of FBAWTFT. And, of course, it would be logical that the creator of a Basilisk would have to have a way to communicate with the beast, but I just wasn't able to find confirmation that Herpo was a Parselmouth. I could have been looking in the wrong place!
ETA: I finally checked this (6/17/14) and I just plain old made a mistake -- it definitely says Herpo the Foul was a Parselmouth in FBAWTFT in the Basilisk entry. I just missed it. I have no excuse! But, yes, we can count Herpo the Foul as a Parselmouth; his ability to speak Parseltongue places him as a direct descendant of Salazar Slytherin, as the ability to speak Parseltongue is only passed down the Slytherin bloodline. Anyhow, I wanted to correct my error and encourage users to vote for the other answers that got it right the first time :)

A: As listed in Wikipedia and this answer, there are very few known wizards who speak/spoke Parseltongue; some are listed here:

*

*Salazar Slytherin

*The House of Gaunt (descendants of Salazar)

*Tom Riddle (descendant of Marvolo Gaunt)

*Harry Potter (proxied via Voldemort's soul)

*Prof. Dumbledore (learned, but doesn't actually speak it, so he isn't a Parselmouth as mentioned by Slytherincess)

*Ron Weasley (said one phrase which he learned from Harry, as above Dumbledore)

*Herpo the Foul
Essentially, the ones which you may be interested in are:
Herpo the Foul

The first recorded Basilisk was bred by Herpo the Foul, a Greek Dark wizard and Parselmouth...
  -Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, pg 25 (Basilisk).

The Gaunts
The Gaunts are Tom Riddle's family. The family consists of:

*

*Marvolo (Tom's granddad),

*Merope (Tom's mother) and

*Morfin (Tom's uncle).

They are mentioned numerous times, but the most notable of which is when Harry and Prof. Dumbledore visit Bob Ogden's memories in the Pensieve in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter Ten, (The House of Gaunt).

Lamellar ichthyosis (LI) is a rare skin condition. It appears at birth and continues throughout life.
LI is an autosomal recessive disease. This means that the mother and father must both pass one abnormal copy of the disease gene to their child in order for the child to develop the disease.
Many babies with LI are born with a clear, shiny, waxy layer of skin called a collodion membrane. For this reason, these babies are known as collodian babies. The membrane sheds within the first 2 weeks of life. The skin underneath the membrane is red and scaly. It resembles the surface of a fish.
Collodion babies usually need to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). They are placed in a high-humidity incubator. They will need extra feedings. Moisturizers need to be applied to the skin. After the collodion membrane is shed, babies can usually go home.
Babies are at risk for infection when they shed the collodian membrane.
Eye problems may occur later in life because the eyes cannot close completely.

Ichthyosis results from an abnormality in the cornification (production of the outer dead layer) of the skin. Many different forms of ichthyosis are recognized. Notice the dry skin and scaly appearance. Ichthyosis is usually worse in the winter and is more severe over the legs.


Soft skills as we refer includes a multitude of skills that are not generally learnt by us in our regular schooling and college level education. Such skills can actually impact one's professional career in a very serious manner. Products, features, and benefits are almost same by every provider in this highly competitive business scenario. The only difference then happens to be between the winner and lose are their soft skills. Hence knowing the gap in one's soft skills is very important and then there are many training programs available to choose to improve the gap areas. They include Business Communication, written and verbal communication, a list of etiquettes for various things, presentation skills and public speaking skills. Emotional intelligence can also be considered as a soft skill as it can help understand the client better and win deals.


In this comedy, a famous actor attempts to honor his high school teacher by announcing to a national audience that the teacher is gay. The problem is, he isn't, and the comedy ensues as he tries to convince the world he's straight. The film was particularly relevant in the 90s, when coming out as gay was more likely to ruin one's life.

A smaller than usual (but perfectly formed) group of Masters competed at the Surrey Sports Park in the Surrey County Championships held on the 24th June.
With just eleven competing and number of individual swims only just reaching sixty, our medal haul of 24 Golds, 13 Silvers and 11 Bronzes was not at all shabby, and I think everyone felt they had 'had a swim' by about 7.30pm when the Meet drew to a close.
With only six relay teams, skilfully compiled and entered by Andy Cook once again, we were pleased to secure 1 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronzes during the exciting and hectic last few minutes of the second and third sessions.
In addition, and very much the star of our show, was Terry Lazenby who collected no fewer than 11 Golds as a youngster in the 75-79yrs age group, and was awarded the Victor Ludorum as highest individual point scorer in the 75-84yrs age group. Terry also contributed to a Bronze along with Brian Hosking, Garry Willets and Denis Earl in the Mens 240-279yrs Medley Relay.
The Mens 200-239 Freestyle team placed 5th.
Overall, a pretty successful meet for the Masters!

Mantas, mantas, sharks and more mantas
Diving, Indonesia /
Traveling back to the mainland from the Togians takes a couple of days. Because our visa has expired we leave Indonesia and stay in Kuala Lumpur for a couple of days so we can travel back to Indonesia. We fly to Bali from which we take a flight to Labuan Bajo, the most western village on Flores and the start of a visit to the Komodo National Park.
After considering the pro's and cons for a while we decided to go ahead and book a liveaboard, a boat on which we will stay and dive for four days. The owner convinced us with her enthusiastic answer when we emailed about Noa coming along. The staff on the boat will watch Noa while we dive and are looking forward to welcoming him aboard. And that is an understatement, we don't know if any other children have ever come along but Noa is welcomed with open arms.
Everybody immensely enjoys his presence, he constantly has seven men waiting for a chance to play with him. There is always at least one pair of eyes focused on him so he can endlessly play on the big ship.
On the boat there is space for eight passengers, but next to us there have only been three others who confirmed for the trip. Because of that there is lots of space to relax. We have a two persons cabin with a big matras on which Noa sleeps as well as us. Upstairs there is a space with a table where all the meals are served, and on the from deck are eight mattresses with towels where everybody lounges all day.
A deck above that the captain has his hut and in front of hime is more space to sit on beanbags and relax. All the way at the back of the boat all dive gear is stored and assembled, and half way on the boat are the toilets where it is possible to take a shower with salt water all day and once a day with regular water. The other passengers on the ship are a British guy, a French man, a Canadian and our dive masters; a British lady whom's name is Lisa and an Indonesian guy named Ronny. Lisa is one of the most passioned dive master we have ever met and we spent hours talking with her and the other guys about diving on the lounge deck.
Because the currents in Komodo national park are some of the most challenging of the world the dives are slowly build up from easy to hard. The first dive is at a gorgeous reef with great visibility, we see lots of known fish but also see some special things like a Leaf scorpion fish (fish that pretend to be a leaf and sway in the water) and eels that stick out their heads from the bottom with hundreds at a time and quickly retract them whenever a diver comes close. We dive three times a day and do some amazing night dives as well, the diversity of the fish is amazing.
We have bought a replacement underwater housing for the housing that flooded, and we are really glad we were able to take it along. After spending a day at a reef with strong currents where you are attached to the reef with reef hooks to see sharks swimming by we move on to manta point.
In the dive briefing it's explained that there is a possibility to meet a manta, but it can also be multiple mantas. When we cruise above Manta Point with our dingy (a small boat which we use to get to the reefs) our dive master Ronny checks the conditions underwater. He comes back up waving excitingly – quick, quick, lots of mantas. We quickly go down and see two mantas just in the first few minutes.
What humongous animals, with a width of up to four meters, I keep hoping we will see another one. The wish for another one comes true, and then another one, and another, and another, on our first dive at Manta Point we see a total of seventeen Manta's (video). Some alone, but sometimes even groups of two or tree at once, what a dive.
Dangerous dragons
On the second evening of the live aboard we arrive at a mangrove forest, when the sun sets bats begin to fly out of the trees. Thousands of gigantic fruitbats rise to fly to the main land to look for mangos, bananas and papayas. Check out the movie we made of them.
Fruit bats fly from the mangrove forests
Fruit bat
After the show we sail towards the bay of the island Rinca, so we can visit it early the next morning at seven o'clock before the heat starts. When we walk towards the rangers station we see a big komodo dragon just laying on the path – wow, we haven't expected to see one right away.
We walk past a breeding spot to reach a hill where the dragons come in the winter to warm up in the sun. Although it's not the winter we do see a dragon who is blocking the walking path, he's a lot smaller than the first dragon we saw but impressive none the less. While the ranger stands ready with a stick to defend us, we are allowed to take pictures. They are impressive animals, out of all the eggs laid by a female dragon just 35% actually hatch, after which birds, and other wild animals and most frightening of all, their own mothers eat them a big part of the babies. Thankfully the animals are protected in this park because there are only a couple thousand left.
As a goodbye to the people on the liveaboard we go and have some beers on the mainland that night with our divemaster Lisa, after which we have dinner together as well, wow these were some amazing days.
With the end of the liveaboard the time has come that my sisters will arrive on Flores. They will travel with us for three weeks, something we have all been looking forward too for months. The next day we check out of our homestay and take our backpacks to the airport. Danielle and Wendy have arranged a resort somewhere as a surprise, and the resort will pick all of us up at the airport.

An emotional meeting
When we see Danielle and Wendy at the luggage pick up there is no way to stop Noa, he runs through security to them. It's so good to see them after so many months, and at the same time it's like no time has passed. Noa has to get used to them for a bit, he gets shy and hides behind my legs, but fifteen minutes later he tells them about all his adventures of the past months. We hear him telling them details that we have already forgotten.
To start off Danielle and Wendy's holiday we all go to have ice-cream and go swimming in the beautiful swimming pool of Bayview Gardens. We have two rooms and a shared living room that looks out over the bay of Labuan Bajo. We can't get enough of the gorgeous views and take about fifty pictures of the setting sun, one even more beautiful than the other. After a luxurious breakfast in our living room we go trekking to a nearby white beach. It feels really unreal that we are now with the five of us, laying in the gorgeous turquoise water.
For both birthdays of my sisters we have given them a test dive as a gift and because Divine Diving was such a good experience we go to the Komodo national park and visit two reefs. The first dive Wendy and Danielle learn the basics of diving and the second dive we go to Manta Point. The whole way there Michiel and I keep hoping that the currents won't be very strong, because if they are Danielle and Wendy won't be able to join the dive as rookies. It's a perfect day, the currents aren't bad and the manta's are curious and swim in groups of sometimes up to five manta's and come and actually hover over our heads to see what we are. What an amazing experience.
Setting sun over the bay of Labuan Bajo
After being in Labuan Bajo for a couple of days we head east. We have arranged seats on a minivan to Ruteng and have the driver drop us of at a convent that is well know for it's clean and big rooms. Unfortunately it's full and we walk over to Hotel Rima, only a couple of hundred meters further, the rooms are very very basic and old, but clean and the family who runs the place is very friendly.
Because it's still early we put on our walking shoes and trek to a viewpoint on the other side of the village. Everywhere in the street we are approached with questions – where are we going, can they practice English, or can they shake our hand. My sisters experience the same kindness and interest of the Indonesian people like we have on all out trips to this gorgeous country. It's so special to be welcomed everywhere.
The next morning we are all really excited, we walk into the centre to haggle with the bemo drivers to take us to Luang Bua. It's a cave where parts of a skeleton now called the Flores Hobbit were found. 50.000 years ago there was a tribe who lived on Flores, were 1.1 meters high and lived together with the komodo dragons and miniature elephants. One of the nine skeletons that was found was intact and gives a really good representation of how the human beings that lived that long ago looked. The cave in which the skeletons were found is huge and surrounded by gorgeous ricefiedls. In a small museum down the road there is lots of information about the project, the environment the Flores Hobbit lived in and the animals from that time.
The drive to the cave is an endless one across unpaved roads and through the mountains, and the end of the trip our driver waits for us because there is no public transport to take us back.
After our first successful bemo charter we are feeling proud and go back the next day to find a bemo to Cancar, a village with a gorgeous viewpoint over very special rice terraces which look like a spiderweb. The rice fields are shared and farmed by multiple families in a village. Every year a different part of the web is assigned to a family based on how many members it has. It's a very special way of farming and something that is incomprehensible in the Netherlands.

After Boeing switched off Connexion by Boeing, Air France has become the first airline in the world to offer an in-flight mobile phone service on international flights. Using the Mobile OnAir system, passengers travelling on board of one of the Airbus A318 aircraft operating European routes can now send and receive SMS and MMS messages as well as send and receive E-Mails via all phones with Internet access. During the second half of the six month trial, passengers will also be able to make and receive phone calls, with the service being regulated to maintain passengers' comfort and well-being.
Mobile phones connect to a miniature cellular network installed inside this aircraft. A modem transmits data and calls to a satellite that routes them to a ground station. Data and calls are then routed to the passenger's usual telephone network. This network is located inside the aircraft. Passengers' mobile phones only emit at minimum power, which does not risk harming interference with aircraft avionics or ground telecoms network.
Phones are used just like on the ground. To make a call on board the aircraft, passengers simply dial the international prefix (+) or 00 + country code + full number (without the 0). The cost of data exchanges are invoiced by the customers' telephone operator and are comparable to those used for normal international mobile phone calls.
It's neither said at which speed (and with which technology aka GPRS, EDGE or UMTS) the data connection within the aircraft operates (while OnAir only supports 2.5G yet) nor is it known at which speed the satellite connections works. However, the OnAir FAQ speaks of up to 864 Kbps.
Customers on board this Airbus A318, with seating for 123 passengers, can find out more about this service in an information leaflet in seat pockets. Information will also be included in the cabin crew announcement. Air France welcomes feedback on this service from its passengers, who can fill in a twenty-question survey.
At the end of the trial, Air France will examine the feedback and comments made by customers to determine whether to launch this service on all its flights.
The Mobile OnAir onboard mobile telephony system, certified by EASA (European Aviation Safety Authority) does not interfere with the radio-navigation instruments on this Airbus A318 and may only be used at cruising altitude once the new illuminated sign "Switch off your phone" is turned off. The system is activated at 3.000 metres (10.000 feet).
OnAir has roaming agreements with mobile network operators, including the three major operators in France: Orange, Bouygues Telecom and SFR.

The football world of Estrie loses a great athlete
The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees player died last weekend in Toronto, shortly after a game.
While he was in his fifth season as a defensive lineman in Ottawa, Francis Perron had worn the colors of the Volontaires du Cégep de Sherbrooke and the Patriotes de l'École du Phare to reach this caliber of play.
A ceremony will be held in the coming weeks to mark the memory of the footballer.
Photo : Facebook / Francis Perron
He had started playing football in the Rebel program of the École de la Montée in elementary school.
He had won the Bol d'or and the title of Defensive Player of the Year. He had a great course , explains his father, Michel Perron.
His parents Annie Simard and Michel Perron are saddened by the sudden loss of their son.
They had attended almost all of their son's games during his career.
We only missed two games, including that of his death , says his mother.
We were informed that he had been unwell, then the hospital who told us he had had a cardiac arrest and that they could not resuscitate him , points out his father.
Clovis Langlois-Boucher was the coach of Francis Perron at Cégep de Sherbrooke.

He was a dominant player. He was a good student, a program guy. He performed both at school and in the field. He was highly respected and set an example. It's a shock for the football community in Sherbrooke , says the trainer of the Volunteers.
Francis Perron was 25 years old and he was studying mechanical engineering.
He was a guy who was very determined. He didn't do anything halfway. He gave all he could [tant] in his studies than in his team to win. He always wanted to surpass himself. He was looking for solutions , explains his mother Annie.
He had eight months to go before he got his graduation ring. He had done his internship at Kruger's new factory in Bromptonville. He had been offered a job even before he finished his studies , adds his father Michel.
Francis Perron's parents agreed to donate their son's organs after his death.
It does not surprise me. He was a big hearted person , mentions Clovis Langlois-Boucher who wanted to offer his condolences to the family of Francis Perron and to the Gee-Gees teammates of Ottawa.

First, you should know what we believe:
Community organizing + technology can
stop genocide and mass atrocities.
We are two long-time Sudan activists. We began this journey in 2004.
Here's a sample of what we've done so far:
Organized a rally that spanned the entire Golden Gate Bridge. 5,000+ people attended.
Mobilized 100,000+ advocates and high-profile foreign policy experts to lobby Congress and the White House about Darfur.
Convinced our alma mater and the State of California's public employee pension system (more than $170 billion in assets) to stop investing in companies that enabled genocide.
We don't own these results. We played a part, but this work has ultimately been the shared responsibility of a grassroots movement. Over the years, we've been incredibly blessed to learn from so many wonderful people who — while not policy wonks or professional lobbyists — have insisted on doing the good work of saving lives and easing suffering.
Our primary goal is to help you speak out for the people of Sudan and South Sudan.
Real-life metrics matter. We are dyed-in-the-wool technologists, but we don't make random social media noise; we don't deal in vanity metrics. While we'd all like the ability to reach and engage, say, millions of online activists, such efforts are inconsequential if they don't lead to on-the-ground change. In the case of Sudan and South Sudan, on-the-ground change means securing a lasting peace despite the memory and consequences of brutal war and government-induced starvation.
This is a fight worth fighting.
We hope you'll get in touch via the contact form below. Whether you need help setting up your community organization, starting your very first Sudan campaign, developing a website, crafting an email marketing strategy, editing a video, designing and engineering a custom Facebook application, etc., you should know that you can add immediate bottom-line value to the Sudan advocacy movement — and we'd like to help you do this.
In case you need more proof from us, here are a few partners and customers that we've helped in our nonprofit and professional lives: Facebook, Kiva, Nissan, Sprint, Puma, and Stanford University. Among other areas of expertise, we love community management and development, project management, product design, product marketing, and in-person new media training.
Also, please know…we are happy to help you for free. We're lucky to have day jobs that allow us to provide our services pro bono.
Let us know how we can help! Thanks for reading this,
- Nikki Serapio & Elissa Test
