President Obama is tapping into his celebrity appeal by calling on one of music's preeminent power couples to help raise money for his reelection campaign.
Singer Beyonce and rapper Jay-Z will host a $40,000-a-plate Obama campaign fundraiser on Tuesday in New York, according to reports and an email sent out by the campaign Thursday morning. The husband and wife — whose real names are Shawn Carter and Beyonce Knowles — will host the event along with Mr. Obama at the rapper's 40/40 Club, which he opened in 2003.
While the fundraiser carries a hefty price tag, the campaign announced in an email Thursday that donors can donate as little as $5 to enter a drawing for a chance to attend.
According to a report in the New York Post, the event will be capped at 100 guests and attendees will have the chance to be photographed with president in exchange for an extra $12,500 contribution.
The Obama campaign announced Monday that it raised $114 million last month, eclipsing the $100 million mark for the first time this election cycle. The total edged out Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's $111 million haul, marking the first time since April that the president has raised more money than Mr. Romney.

"Official" Photos Of The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Leaked Weeks Before Its Launch
As with previous Samsung Galaxy S and Note launches, it seems that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will not be a secret when it gets announced next month on August 7. Images of the Note 10 and Note 10+ have been leaked online.
The leaks came via WinFuture and reveal a centre-aligned punch hole camera on the front of the Note 10. On the rear, there are three cameras vertically aligned on the rear of the device. It seems aside from the pinhole cut-out, the Samsung Note 10 will also have a 6.3-inch Infinity-O display. By the side of the Note 10 is the S-Pen stylus. The image also shows a volume and power button on the left of the handset, with no Bixby button on the right.
One of the possible colour options for the Note 10 seems to be a blue-purple pearlescent paint job, heavily reminiscent of Huawei's gradient colour schemes.
Rumours have also surfaced that the Note 10 will not sport a traditional headphone jack, making it the first Samsung smartphone to be without the headphone jack. The Note 10 will also reportedly retain a 60 Hz refresh rate, meaning it'll lose out to some other smartphones on the market with a much higher refresh rate, such as the OnePlus 7 Pro which has a refresh rate of 90 Hz.

First announced in June, the Note 10 will be launched on August 7, at the Samsung Unpacked event at the Barclays Center in New York, the exact same place Samsung used to launch the Note 9 last year.
The Galaxy Note is the most premium line of mobile devices in Samsung's repertoire of smartphones, and typically arrives in August each year with high-end specs aimed at competing against Apple's yearly iPhone release in September.
Of course, we can't be completely sure of anything until Samsung confirms it during the official launch. Till then, do take all rumours and leaks with a pinch of salt.

Coventry City Council introduces flexible comms hub
Coventry City Council has launched a hub model for its PR team after a major restructure designed to cut costs and increase flexibility.
by John Owens / April 23, 2013
Review: Fran Collingham
After a requirement to find £100,000 of savings, a reduced team has been charged with developing a wider range of comms skills.
Fran Collingham, assistant director at the council, said the revamp included a focus on driving social media and events work: 'We had a peer review of our comms from Nottingham, Waltham Forest and Westminster councils, and wanted to build on some of those recommendations.
'It's not just about saving money, but about being fit for purpose and central to this is a hub of officers who are working across press, events and marketing.'
The shake-up resulted in the loss of five PR jobs, leaving a team of 16 that includes four part-timers and an apprentice.
'The hub is about introducing flexibility and ensuring we have people with the skills to do a wide range of tasks,' said Collingham. 'It's good for their training and encouraging the development of a wider range of skills.
'This is essential within local government, in particular when things are changing so quickly.'The overall comms set-up, including design, events and web staff, numbers 27 people.

INDIA: Recent actions in People´s War
Category: Asien
In the following we want to give a short brief on some recent actions, carried out by(suspected) combatants of the People´s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), under the leadership of the Communist Party of India (Maoists) [CPI(Maoists)] in the ongoing People´s War in India.
On July 04, an iron ore mine of Jayaswal Neco Industries Limited (JNIL) in Dongar hills in Aamdai Ghati area of Narayanpur district in Chhattisgarh were attacked. According to "India Today" around 100 armed combatants stormed the construction site around 10am and asked the workers to stop the work before starting to torch the construction machinery.
In the course of the action there was also a prolonged encounter with the reactionary security forces of the old Indian state, which were sent to the scene and ran into a previously laid ambush by the PLGA. "After being alerted about the incident, a team of security forces from a nearby police camp set off for the spot. Some naxals who were hiding in the forest fired country-made BGL (barrel grenade launcher) on security forces and the camp, leading to a gun-battle,"
The place where the attack took place is nearly one km away from the camp of the Chhattisgarh Armed Force. According to the current state of knowledge, the PLGA combatants were able to retreat without any losses after carrying out the assault.1
On June 30 a police informer were killed in in Bamhani village in the district of Balaghat in Madhya Pradesh. According to the bourgeois media "Outlook India" an unknown number of armed combatants rushed to the house of the traitor and dragged him out of the village before shooting him. Before retreating to the near by forest a declaration on the execution of the police informer were left. The statement is allegedly signed with "CPI (Maoist), Tada, Malajkhand Area Committee".2

Issue: January 2023
Feds Approve Demolition of 4 Klamath River Dams
Federal officials have approved a plan for demolition of four aging dams on the Klamath River at the foot of the Cascade Mountains in an effort to open up salmon habitat and restore the river by 2024. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (FERC) unanimous decision allows for the $500 million demolition project, which would return the river to a free-flowing state for the first time in over a century. Removal of the dam could begin as early as the summer of 2023. On Nov. 17, FERC unanimously approved a request from PacifiCorp to surrender licenses and decommission the Lower Klamath Project's four hydroelectric dams on the Oregon and California border, ending decades of debate over the issue. Oregon Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden said in a joint statement that they viewed FERC's...
Coast Guard Cutter Healy Returns to Seattle
After 17,000 nautical miles and 124 days at sea, the crew members of the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Healy came back to its homeport in Seattle, the agency announced Nov. 11. The crew's journey was considered a historic one as the 420-foot medium icebreaker traveled in high Arctic latitudes and reached the geographic North Pole Sept 30, "only the second time a U.S. surface vessel had reached 90 degrees north unaccompanied," the USCG said. The crew also provided law enforcement presence in the Arctic and the Gulf of Alaska. "It is more important than ever before to provide security and sovereign presence in the Arctic and expand oceanographic research to understand the impacts of environmental change," said Healy's commanding officer, Capt. Kenneth Boda. "The crew of Healy is proud to hav...
USCG Recovers Oil from Sunken Fishing Vessel in L.A. Area
In late October, the U.S. Coast Guard completed cleanup efforts after the 70-foot fishing vessel Bill Ketner partially sank at a pier in the San Pedro area of Los Angeles. At about 7 p.m. on Oct. 24, the Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach Incident Management Division received notification that the f/v Bill Ketner had partially sunk at the pier with a max capacity of 2,500 gallons of diesel onboard. Working alongside Los Angeles Port Police and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response, Coast Guard pollution responders oversaw the successful clean-up operation, the Guard said. The vessel was lifted and stabilized using eight flotation air bags. Once the vessel was raised to the surface of the water, the hull was patched and fuel rem...
King Cove Road Faces Another Round of Scrutiny by Appeals Court Judges
There's still no end in sight for the years' long dispute over whether to connect shorter links between the all-weather airport at Cold Bay, Alaska, to the Aleutian fishing community of King Cove, through a one-lane gravel road passing through Izembeck National Wildlife Refuge. A decision handed down in mid-November by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a decision reached earlier in 2022 by another three-judge panel that approved of a land swap between the federal government and the King Cove Corp., an Alaska Native village corporation, under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). A panel including more than two dozen attorneys with the Ninth Circuit Court was to review briefs from the case to determine whether a fair decision was reached. Residents of Ki...

The event, held Nov. 17-19, attracted thousands of attendees from Alaska to California and beyond.

The Fight Against Illegal Fishing Ramps Up
The global issue of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has come to the fore in a slew of public announcements this year, including one from President Joe Biden. His administration's Memorandum on Combating Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and Associated Labor Abuses on June 27, noted that "illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and related harmful fishing practices are among the greatest threats to ocean health and are significant causes of global overfishing, contributing to the collapse or decline of fisheries that are critical to the economic growth, food systems and ecosystems of numerous countries around the world." The Executive Branch is hardly alone. A bipartisan bill, S.4773 (IS) Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvests Act of 2022 (FISH Act), w...
Slips, Trips & Falls: Don't Fall for It
Humans can be amazing. Most of us can stand upright on two feet, walk and move around easily, even gracefully sometimes. It gets harder to walk and do your work when you are out on a rain-soaked dock or moving vessel. There may be gear or equipment to navigate around. There may be steps or ladders to get from one level to another or from the dock to the vessel. There may be something on the working surface that makes it slippery—rain, ice, saltwater, hydraulic fluid, fish or bait. Not to mention that when you are working on deck, there is fishing gear, tools and equipment in motion and coordination of movement with other fishermen, their gear or activities. There's also the weather and sea conditions. By reviewing the reported injury information for Oregon and Washington commercial fis...
Great Balls of Fishy Fire Light
Some fish are attracted to light. We all know that. We've known that since people have been waving fire torches from wooden dugout canoes. It's quite evident today, and it can be seen in all of those brightly lit up fishing vessels at night. Sure, those lights help keep the deckhands safe, but you can tell that many of those lights are specifically designed and aimed at bringing fish up closer to the surface. So, why not produce some special underwater lights for the seabed fishing industry? Well, a few companies have tried to do just that by selling lights for crab pots and lobster traps. Some of those products have provided mixed results due mostly to the quality of the products made. However, one company has managed to shed some light on the subject in a most positive way as far as ...
What To Do With All Those Oil Rigs?
Widespread, industrial-scale oil and gas development of the U. S. Pacific Outer Continental Shelf (POCS) has been a constant threat to West Coast fisheries since the 1890s when the first wave primitive offshore oil wells were originally drilled into shallow coastal waters. The great oil spill off Santa Barbara in 1969, which dumped more than three million barrels of crude oil into the ocean, made it clear, however, that if anything goes wrong with offshore oil development, impacts on regional fisheries could be catastrophic. Thankfully, and as a direct result of perseverance, coastwide political organizing and luck, our commercial fishing industry, working with our state legislatures and key members of Congress, has—mostly—held this effort at bay since West-Coast wide oil and gas develop...
