On 20 November 1905 the Great Central Railway opened a new route for freight trains between Neasden Junction and Northolt Junction. Passenger services from Marylebone began on 1 March 1906, when three new stations were opened: Wembley Hill, Sudbury & Harrow Road and South Harrow. On 2 April 1906 these services were extended to Northolt Junction.[3] The film 'Mosque in the Park' made for Thames Television and first shown 5 June1973 (directed and narrated by acclaimed film Director Yavar Abbas), featured the daily routine of leading railwayman Mr. Siddiq who was originally from Delhi and who moved to London in 1960. The film shows him at work for British Rail at the Sudbury & Harrow Road railway station, a job that he does alone.[4].
The station is served by a limited service of just 4 trains per day in each direction during the peak hours Monday-Friday only. In the morning peak there are 4 trains southbound to London Marylebone and in evening peak there are 3 trains northbound to West Ruislip and 1 to Gerrards Cross.[5]
There are no services on Saturdays or Sundays.

Sports | Snow Me the Money: Rebate Program Brings Hollywood To Minnesota
Snow Me the Money: Rebate Program Brings Hollywood To Minnesota
Snowbate likely means $1.5 million rebate for "Wilson" producers.
The filmmakers behind the movie "Wilson" could get a hefty rebate check from Minnesota for filming in the state.
In fact, Minnesota's "Snowbate" rebate program for filmmakers was instrumental in landing the production by Fox Searchlight Pictures. It's currently being shot in the metro area and stars Woody Harrelson and Laura Dern.
Under the program, filmmakers are eligible for rebates of up to 25 percent of money spent in Minnesota. The rebate is not issued until after an independent financial review of the production budget of actual dollars spent locally is completed.
"It was a very important tool," said Lucinda Winter, executive of Minnesota Film and TV, which administers the film rebate program. "They will be spending north of $6 million in our state, mostly in the metro area. A large share of that is labor."
Winter is estimating that the producers of "Wilson" will ultimately receive a rebate of approximately $1.5 million through the Snowbate program.
"Wilson" is the largest movie to be filmed locally since the Coen Brothers shot "A Serious Man" here in 2008. (The film was released in 2009.) Filmmaker brothers Joel and Ethan Coen grew up in St. Louis Park. The shoot, expected to wrap up at the end of July, is largely taking place on the eastern side of the Twin Cities.
"They're shooting a lot of the movie in St. Paul and St. Paul suburbs. It's mostly a St. Paul movie," said Winter. "I think they really found a lot of what they were looking for in St. Paul."
The film is based on a graphic novel by cartoonist Daniel Clowes, who also wrote the screenplay. According to press release about the production: "Harrelson stars as Wilson, a lonely, neurotic and hilariously honest middle-aged misanthrope."
Last year Twin Cities Business took an in-depth look at the uptick in film production business in Minnesota.
Meanwhile, there are more potential productions in the pipeline.
There were reports last year that HBO was scouting Stillwater as the location for a possible series.
"We're still very much in play for that," Winter said. "Our office has been in communication with HBO."
Camera crews will also be popping up in Duluth before the end of the year. Netflix is planning to shoot a series that stars comedian Maria Bamford, a Duluth native.

FDCPA claim against Cohen & Slamowitz for failing to disclose tax implications of paying reduced amount survives motion to dismi
FDCPA claim against Cohen & Slamowitz for failing to disclose tax implications of paying reduced amount survives motion to dismiss
By Sheril Stanford
In honor of tax time, we bring you a case with an interesting tax twist.
In this case, Ellis v. Cohen & Slamowitz[1], from the US District Court, Northern District of New York, defendant Cohen & Slamowitz sent three dunning letters in quick succession to the consumer plaintiff, Mr. Ellis.
The first letter, on January 12, 2009, advised Ellis that his alleged debt had been referred to Cohen & Slamowitz for collection. The first letter also included a validation notice, which stated that unless the consumer disputed the validity of the debt within thirty days, the debt would be considered valid and, if the consumer disputed any part of the dept, Cohen & Slamowitz would mail verification to him.
On January 29, 2009, Cohen & Slamowitz sent Ellis a second letter, this one titled "Tax Season Special." The letter stated that Cohen & Slamowitz was offering him a "savings of 30% off on the outstanding balance owed on [his] account," if he paid Cohen & Slamowitz the reduced amount, $4,490.75, before February 25, 2009. The 30% reduction would theoretically save Mr. Ellis $1,924.61.
In a third letter, also dated January 29, 2009, Cohen & Slamowitz wrote Mr. Ellis and told him "our client has authorized us to commence suit against you." The letter made no mention of the other two letters, or their contents.
Mr. Ellis sued under the Fair Dept Collection Practice Act (FDCPA) alleging, among other claims, that the second letter, which offered the 30% "discount," was misleading and deceptive and violated 15 U.S.C. 1692e(2), 1692e(10) and 1692f.
The gravamen of Ellis's claim was that, in offering the "discount," Cohen & Slamowitz had failed to inform him of the IRS provision that requires that any debt over $600 that is forgiven must be reported as income on a federal tax return.
Not surprisingly, Cohen & Slamowitz claimed that the plaintiff's argument stretched the FDCPA beyond its intended reach, and moved to dismiss this cause of action.
The court stated that it shared Cohen & Slamowitz's concern about whether the FDCPA was meant to cover this specific practice, but nonetheless, it denied Cohen & Slamowitz's motion to dismiss. As noted by the court, the taxes on the amount forgiven would, in essence, diminish the actual net value of the discount offered by Cohen & Slamowitz. The court concluded that Cohen & Slamowitz's second letter may constitute a false and misleading practice under the FDCPA, and thus the cause of action survived a motion to dismiss.

When someone has been injured in an accident, we often hear the words "pain and suffering" when referring to the damages in a personal injury lawsuit. But what exactly does that mean? If you have suffered an injury due to another person's negligence, what type of compensation are you eligible to receive as a result? Let's take a look.
In personal injury cases, "pain and suffering" refers both to the physical pain and suffering as well as the mental pain and suffering.
Physical pain and suffering refers to the pain and discomfort experienced by the victim as a result of the physical injuries sustained. This includes any pain and suffering that has already been endured, as well as any adverse effects that the victim is likely to experience in the future as a consequence of the injury.
Mental pain and suffering is a consequence of the physical injuries sustained, and is a result of enduring the physical pain and trauma of the accident. Mental pain and suffering may include a broad range of negative emotions such as anxiety, anger, fear, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and humiliation. More severe mental pain and suffering may include depression, mood swings, diminished appetite, reduced energy, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As with physical pain and suffering, mental pain and suffering includes the side effects that have been endured by the victim thus far, as well as the mental pain and suffering that they are likely to experience in the future.
Every personal injury case is unique due to the variety of circumstances surrounding each accident as well as the different types of injuries sustained as a consequence. There is no one formula for evaluating the pain and suffering endured by the victim. Instead, consideration is given to the range of effects the accident had on the victim.
For example, an individual who suffers an accident that results in serious injuries may then become depressed and have difficulty sleeping. The victim must endure physical pain and suffering from the injuries as well as undergo psychiatric counseling to address the mental suffering. The victim may not effectively recover from the mental anguish, resulting in an inability to return at work. Now the victim has lost their livelihood, has suffered financially, and may also suffer from isolation and humiliation as a result. All of these effects are an outgrowth of the accident and the victim may be compensated for them in a personal injury case.
If you or a loved one has experienced an accident due to another person's negligence, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your pain and suffering. The experienced Kearny accident lawyers at Brady, Brady & Reilly, LLC have helped New Jersey families receive the compensation they deserve for more than 50 years.

In this experiment the excitation of the He atoms to discrete energy levels is observed and analyzed. The manner in which the excitation occurs is by bombarding the He atoms with electrons that originate from a tungsten cathode. Excitation only occurs when the mean energy of the colliding electrons is sufficient enough to sustain inelastic collisions with the He atoms. The inelastic collisions will define the different energy levels that the He atoms possess and these will be analyzed. The method in which the energy levels will be studied is through the form of graphs which contain peaks that correspond to a certain current and potential.
The excitation of Helium to its discrete/higher energy levels requires equipment of relatively high sensitivity. The main instrument used in the excitation of He atoms in this experiment is that of a Critical Potentials Tube. The helium is contained in the tube at low pressure and it is bombarded with electrons. If the electrons have a certain "critical" energy they will undergo inelastic collisions with the He atoms. The electrons that have collided with the atoms will have their energy depleted from them and they are further attracted to the slightly positive collector ring which produces a certain current relative to the amount of electrons that are collected. A relation with the amount of electrons that induce a current within the collector ring and the discrete/higher energy states of Helium can be determined by the form of a current vs. potential plot. The peaks of the graph would correspond to the amount of energy required for excitation and the energy required for the ionization.
This experiment takes advantage of the Critical Potentials Tube. This apparatus consists of a blub that contains Helium at a low pressure. Now, the inside of the blub is laminated with a conducting layer (stannous chloride) which is connected to an anode. The blub also has a collector ring in order to read the current. Further, the filament (tungsten cathode) is where the electrons originate hence a voltage is applied for this to occur. The electrons leaving the tungsten cathode are further accelerated by the anode which is connected to the inside layer of the bulb. The purpose of this is so that electrons that make contact with the inside layer of the bulb will go back to the anode from which it was accelerated from through the conducting layer. These electrons that go back to the anode are attracted to the collector ring which has a slight positive charge. This is where there will be a change in current because of the near-zero energy electrons that have undergone inelastic collisions with the He atom. Further, this change in current can be graphed using an x-y plotter which has current input connections. Now, the voltage that corresponds to the peaks in the graph is the necessary or critical energy that is required to excite the He atoms to higher energy states. As already mentioned this relation is seen in the current vs. potential plots. The more electrons that are attracted to the collector ring is related to the energy required to excite the Helium. Once these observations are noted these peaks can be compared to the principal energy levels of helium and its critical potential in order to verify the theory.
The procedure that was followed was outlined in the write-up provided for Experiment #18.
In the first part of the experiment the filament voltage was varied. The voltages of 1.8V, 2.1V and 2.3V were graphed using the x-y plotter. There is a lot of similarity between the graphs especially between the graph of 1.8V and 2.1V. These two graphs seem to be almost identical with the exception of a gap between them when placed together. Other than the fact for the offset these graphs have their peaks in relatively the same areas. The significant difference between the 1.8V and 2.1V graph is that there is an increase in current for the 2.1V graph. The 2.3V graph is quite similar is terms of its shape in comparison to the other two graphs but it is quite evident that it has a higher current. It is also evident that once ionization begins the slope of the graph at that point is much steeper than that of the 1.8V and 2.1V graph. Even though it looks similar to the first two graphs the peaks in the graph are much larger. The reason why the graph has a higher current could be accounted for the fact that there are more inelastic collisions occurring in the blub between the electrons and helium atoms so that means more near-zero energy electrons are being attracted to the slightly positive collector ring. Moreover, there were a number of precautions taken in order to minimize the presence of external electric fields. While the experiment was being conducted the door to the room was shut, all electrical devices that were on both experimenters were moved away from the equipment. Also, while the apparatus was running both experimenters tried to minimize their movements to the best of their ability so that they did not interfere with the experiment and to further reduce any external fields the lights in the room were also turned off.
The ionization of helium was determined to be 24.82V ± 0.48V. Further, in order to determine the ionization potential the current input connections of the x-y recorder were reversed and the polarity of the battery was switched. What this does is that once the helium has been ionized the electrons that are freed from it are attracted to the slightly positively charged collector ring while the input electrons which have in elastically collided with the helium atom are attracted to the ground of the tube. At this point the process of determining the energy required to ionize helium is the same as determining the energy required to excite it. The relation between the amounts of electrons that are attracted to the collector ring to the input beam is used to determine the energy required to ionize helium. This can be seen on a graph when there is a rapid increase of current. Moreover, under closer observation of the ionization potential graph it was noticed that there were two points where the current increased before the rapid increase stage (beginning of ionization). This can be accounted for the fact that there are some atoms (a small percentage) that have already started the process of ionizing before the rest. The only explanation for this is that the external electric fields that are present in the room allow for the ionization of these few atoms.
In conclusion, this experiment has proved the validity of the theory. The measured/calculated values were all in close proximity to the accepted values predicted by the theory.

Critical safety features are integrated into the system to virtually eliminate any chance of failure, including an integral fluid level sensor in the reservoir, internal controller diagnostics and an LED dash light to warn of low fluid level or error codes (including short circuits).


One day several years ago, Samuel Denmeade, M.D., a professor of oncology and urology at Johns Hopkins University, got a phone call from his home state of Ohio. The man on the other end was J. Bruce Hunsicker, an Akron-based lawyer with prostate cancer who had started a foundation to raise money for research into the disease. He wanted to connect with Dr. Denmeade, a leader in the field.
Hunsicker's nonprofit, the One-in-Six Foundation, eventually gave funding to Dr. Denmeade's lab. Although Hunsicker died of prostate cancer in 2010, his tenacity lives on. "It was inspiring to me to keep him in mind as we try to do all this stuff to make a difference and not make a profit," Dr. Denmeade says.
Dr. Denmeade has invested that money into a crazy idea that flips conventional wisdom about prostate cancer on its head.
Doctors have long looked to the hormone testosterone as a piece of the prostate cancer puzzle. Back in the 1940s, Charles Huggins, M.D., a professor at the University of Chicago, found that he could kill prostate cancer cells if he blocked testosterone production. Since then, oncologists have used a testosterone-reducing treatment known as androgen deprivation therapy in men with advanced prostate cancer. Kill the T, kill the cancer—or so the theory goes, because the cancer lives on androgen receptors that testosterone binds to.
In the lab, however, Dr. Denmeade's team found that the link between testosterone and prostate cancer may be more complex. When they exposed testosterone-starved cancer cells to a sudden high dose of T, the cancer was suppressed. That T influx, it seemed, might shock the cells and break their DNA.
Now Dr. Denmeade's team is trying this method, known as bipolar androgen therapy, in some men with advanced prostate cancer. Patients are injected with a "rapid shock" of testosterone to spike blood levels, which then taper off over the course of a month.
Giving high doses of testosterone to prostate cancer patients is novel, but if it works, the benefits could be big. Compared with treatments that cost thousands of dollars, testosterone is cheap and widely available.
In Dr. Denmeade's first small study, half the patients exhibited dips in a common cancer marker, and about a third had tumors shrink. The patients were happy, and some even regained sexual function.
As the next phase of research begins (it should end next year), Dr. Denmeade is trying to figure out which patients respond best to bipolar androgen therapy. It's being tested in 17 medical centers, but it's still too early to use the therapy outside a study setting.
Even if it works, Dr. Denmeade's bipolar androgen therapy won't necessarily be a cure-all for prostate cancer. "The disease is a whole bunch of different cells," says Eugene Kwon, M.D., a professor of immunology and urology at the Mayo Clinic. Some are sensitive to chemo, some to radiation, and some to hormone therapy. "The cell manipulations they're exploring are a slice of the pie when you talk about the spectrum of prostate cancer," he says.
Dr. Denmeade is cautiously optimistic. "There's a fine line between hope and hype," he says. But if further research deems the treatment a bust, he has more ideas.
This is an important mission: A projected 161,360 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. Most will survive with treatment; some strategies are described below. Within five years of their diagnosis, however, up to 20 percent of patients will learn that their cancer has spread beyond the prostate and is defying treatment. This is when prostate cancer turns deadly. It will likely kill more than 26,000 men this year.
"There's a lot of media out there that says we shouldn't screen for prostate cancer, that we shouldn't treat prostate cancer, and that you're going to die with it, not of it. That's just not true," says Charles Ryan, M.D., a professor of urology at UC San Francisco. "There are plenty of men who suffer and die horrible deaths from prostate cancer. The key to understanding the difference is collecting data and making a risk-adapted decision."
Fortunately, a slew of new treatments are now available.
"There are things that didn't exist five years ago that are now standards of care," says Fred Saad, M.D., director of prostate cancer research at the Montreal Cancer Institute.
Men are living longer and better lives even with late-stage disease. For instance, the cancer-fighting drugs abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide were approved by the FDA in 2011 and 2012, respectively. In 2013, the FDA approved radium-223 dichloride, a form of radiation therapy for men whose cancer has spread to their bones. For men with certain genetic mutations, poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors—designated a "breakthrough therapy" by the FDA—can preferentially kill cancer cells.
Some centers now have imaging tests to track tumors every few months and see which treatments work.
Some offer genetic tests to personalize treatment. After all, not all prostate cancers are the same. One tumor can require a completely different protocol than the next.
"We can go from one therapy to another, so we're constantly trying to bring patients back into remission," says Dr. Saad. In other words, men with late-stage prostate cancer have more reason than ever to be optimistic.
If a doctor tells you that you're out of options, seek a second opinion, ideally from a specialized center for prostate cancer. "It's sad to say, but for some people, their end of the road is not necessarily the same as at other centers that are doing a lot of research," says Dr. Saad.
Prostate cancer often comes with age, bad genes, or just plain bad luck—but it's still possible to chip away at your risk. Try these tactics.
In a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, men who ate more than two servings of tomato sauce a week had a lower risk of prostate cancer than guys who ate less than a serving per month. Certain compounds in cooked tomatoes may shield DNA strands from breakage.
New Finnish research finds that people who swig three alcoholic drinks a week or less have a lower risk of prostate cancer than heavy drinkers. As you metabolize alcohol, your body makes carcinogenic molecules, which are only okay in moderation.
As if you needed another reason to give up the cigs, research finds that smokers are more likely to die of prostate cancer than those who never smoked. One factor is that carcinogens from tobacco smoke likely promote the creation of tumors.
In a recent study in the British Journal of Nutrition, men who ate the most legumes (about 6 ounces a week) had half the prostate cancer risk of those who ate the least. When your gut digests the fiber in beans, it decreases inflammation, which may play a key role in tumor development.
"You have prostate cancer." These are four words no man wants to hear, but if you do, your next priority will be to pick a treatment. We asked Raj S. Pruthi, M.D., chair of urology at the University of North Carolina, to weigh some common choices.
For small or slow-growing tumors, active surveillance may be the way to go. Doctors carefully monitor your cancer with blood tests, prostate exams, and follow-up biopsies. If the cancer shows any signs of aggressiveness, then treatments are initiated.
Have your problematic prostate removed. In the robotic-assisted form of the surgery, a surgeon controls the instruments remotely within the patient's body. Complications after any prostatectomy can include urinary problems and erectile dysfunction.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivers radiation to your prostate, avoiding the surrounding structures. Then there's proton beam radiation which, like IMRT, also shoots at particles with precision. Like surgery, radiation can affect urinary and erectile function.
Your doctor places small radioactive seeds into your prostate. They emit radiation for a few months before burning out. It's a kind of internal radiation therapy. It's best for patients with lower-risk tumors. It can also affect urinary and erectile function.


The outstanding volume of foreign currency loans (FX lending) to private households fell by EUR 1.82 billion or -11.2% adjusted for exchange rate effects in 2018. During the 4th Quarter alone, the amount fell by EUR 470 million or -3.1% compared to the preceding quarter. Consequently, since the introduction of the ban on granting of new loans in the autumn of 2008 and the accompanying measures to limit risk, the outstanding volume of foreign currency loans (FX lending) to private households has fallen by EUR 32.80 billion or -70.50% adjusted for exchange rate effects. In absolute figures there are outstanding loans denominated in foreign currencies to private households with a current value of € 14.82 billion; at their peak in 2006, this amount stood at € 38.8 billion. These were the findings of the FMA's Survey on Foreign Currency Loans in Q4 2018.
The proportion of foreign currency loans of outstanding loans to private households were able to be reduced by 1.3% to 9.6%. Compared with the height of the foreign currency loan boom, where this share stood at 31.8%, it has fallen from approximately one-third to under one-tenth. As of year-end 2018, 96.2% of the volume of the amount owed for loans in foreign currencies was for loans denominated in Swiss franc (CHF), with the remaining amount almost exclusively in Japanese yen (JPY).
Since the start of 2008, the Swiss franc (CHF) appreciated by 46.8% up until 31 December 2018 against the euro; in the fourth quarter of 2018, the exchange rate varied between 1.1227 and 1.1470, following the removal of the minimum exchange rate floor of 1.20 in January 2015.


I entered this invitation in a design challenge for Hope Stamps Eternal. Great blog! You should check them out. They have tons of cute stuff. This card was easy to make. I layered the patterned paper over the card base and stamped 3 cupcakes on the white panel. I stamped one additional cupcake, cut it out and adhered it in the middle using pop dots to give the card added dimension. I colored them all with colored pencils and added crystal Stickles for a little sparkle. I stamped "You're invited", but you can stamp any sentiment you choose under the cupcakes.

Michigan Nexteer workers denounce sellout contract, demand recount after suspicious ratification vote
Tim Rivers, Barry Grey
After last week's move by United Auto Workers Local 699, backed by Region 1D of the UAW International, to ram through a new round of cost-cutting at Nexteer parts plants located in Saginaw, Michigan, workers have turned to social media and the pages of the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter to denounce the new contract and demand a recount of the highly suspicious ratification vote.
Comments on the UAW Local 699 Facebook page give an indication of the widespread anger among workers and belief that the ratification vote was rigged.
One worker demanded that the union publish the vote total, and his colleague shot back: "Once screwed, always. Do a recount!"
Another worker forwarded a social media post to the WSWS Autoworker Newsletter, in which he wrote: "I never thought the TA2 would pass. I've worked there for 15 years and it just seems like the contracts are getting worse. This contract is the first one that doesn't guarantee work."
Last Friday night, amid growing anger over both the substance of the new tentative agreement, announced by the union on May 8, and the completely undemocratic and bureaucratic manner in which it was presented to the rank and file, UAW Local 699 posted on its Facebook page a one-sentence statement claiming that the deal had been ratified by a margin or 52-48 percent. This came several hours after voting on the pact had ended.
That was all the information provided by the union executives. No numbers were officially reported, no breakdown of the vote by the skilled trades workers, no breakdown according to different plants and classifications. Nor has the union provided any further information since then.
An unofficial social media post claimed that the skilled trades workers voted down the contract by a margin of 54 percent to 46 percent. It further reported that only 60 percent, or 1,500 out of the 2,500 eligible workers, actually voted. That would mean that less than 30 percent of the workers in the local voted in favor of the agreement.
The procompany five-year agreement, worked out behind the workers' backs between the Hong Kong-based global auto parts maker and the UAW, is the latest round in a running battle between workers in a region that includes Saginaw, Pontiac and Flint, all cornerstones of the once far larger General Motors empire, and the financial oligarchs of today. The previous contract covering the Nexteer workers in Saginaw expired in March of 2020, but the UAW refused to call a strike, even after the workers defeated an initial tentative contract in February of 2021 by a margin of 85-15 percent.
Since the spinoff of GM's parts division more than two decades ago, the wages and conditions of workers who toil at what was once known as GM Saginaw Steering have been destroyed. Most Nexteer workers receive, in real terms, barely half the wages of their predecessors, compounded by mandatory overtime, endless speedup and the increasing use of superexploited part-time and temporary labor to divide the workforce and deprive all workers of economic security.
Now, already hit by the impact of COVID-19 and the refusal to the UAW to enforce any serious safety measures, Nexteer workers are expected to simply accept the "word" of the union executives. But it is the workers—whose labor generates the profits of the multimillionaire company tops and their partners in the UAW—who have to live with the conditions imposed by the deal.
Increasingly across the US—Volvo Truck workers in Virginia, coal miners in Alabama, nurses in Massachusetts, ATI steelworkers in Pennsylvania and other states—and around the world, workers are saying "no" in defiance of the corporatist unions.
A Nexteer skilled tradesman told the WSWS, "My parents met in the plant. Without General Motors I wouldn't even be here. But they cannot believe what is happening now."
"The contract is bad news because they can replace all the full-time workers with part-timers, and they don't have to pay them overtime," an A shift worker told the Autoworker Newsletter Tuesday night.
"A lot of people are calling for a revote," he continued. "There's a year and a half in which our wages are frozen, and nobody gets any increase."
Most, if not all, of the nominal wage increase over five years—leaving most full-time production workers at a poverty wage of less than $22—will be eaten away by inflation and increased health insurance costs.
"They are cramming it down our throats," the worker said. "I would support a rank-and-file committee. We have to get something going in the plant."
Workers in plants and schools in many parts of the US and internationally have responded to the initiative of the WSWS and the International Committee of the Fourth International for the building of a global network of rank-and-file committees independent of the unions and the big business parties. The WSWS Autoworker Newsletter is urging Nexteer workers to form such a committee and demand a full audit of the ratification vote supervised by representatives of the rank and file, not the UAW.
Nexteer workers, through their own committee, would formulate their own demands, based not on what the company says it can afford but on their own needs. The WSWS Autoworker Newsletter suggests that these demands include:
· Restoration of all previous wage cuts and contract concessions, particularly in the 2010 and 2015 contracts.
· The hiring of all temporary and part-time workers as full-time workers at the same wages as all other workers.
· Further expansion of health care coverage at a reduced cost.
· An end to the tier system, the Alternative Work Schedule and Critical Plant Status.
On Saturday, the local ABC TV website reported the ratification of the Nexteer Saginaw contract, citing the union's "52-48 percent" figure. It quoted UAW Local 699 President Tom Hurst as calling the procompany deal a "victory," and saying, "I know it's been a big relief for the bargaining committee and all of the staff at the union."
The article went on to cite Hurst as saying the local union had agreed to a new schedule of weekly meetings "to restore critical communication between union officials and Nexteer management."
On March 17, Nexteer issued a press release announcing its financial report for fiscal year 2020, boasting that the company's second half profits for 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, were 14.1 percent higher than for the same period in 2019. It attributed this to aggressive cost-cutting.
It praised its "team" partners in accomplishing this feat, without directly naming the UAW. But it was the UAW that enforced the back-to-work policy of both Trump and the Democrats and kept workers on the job without a contract for 14 months.
The 2020 financial report indicated the degree to which the company was relying on the UAW to impose a new concessions contract on the Saginaw workers, following their overwhelming rejection of the first TA, which occurred one month before the March 2021 release of the company report. It stated:
"The Company and the UAW continue to work toward a new tentative collective bargaining agreement that is acceptable to the UAW local membership. There can be no assurances that the negotiations with the UAW will be resolved favorably or that the Company will not experience a work stoppage or disruption that could adversely affect the Company's operating results and financial condition."
Wall Street and Nexteer's owners are acutely aware that the workers were potentially in a strong position if they had struck and fought to broaden the strike to wider layers of autoworkers and other sections of the working class. That remains the case today.

Book Review: Lucid Desire – Your Wildest Dreams
"I pluck a helicopter from the sky and use it to cool my face."
– Lucid Desire, Locations 720-721
Amy is a smart, savvy, sexy, self-assured thirty year old who is utterly bored and fed up with her unfulfilling life. The tedium of the daily humdrum necessities is leaving her angry and extremely dissatisfied in the bedroom, and with her husband Mark. She remembers loving sex, and being wild and carefree. Now, she can't even remember when she last orgasmed during sex. Mark is equally frustrated but doesn't know how to fix this problem. He seems to think that spicing things up should do the trick but Amy knows that this runs much deeper than not having a sense of adventure in the bedroom.
As a last ditch effort to salvage their sex-life and, potentially, their marriage, the couple goes to a therapist. Amy takes to the relaxation exercises more than she thought she would and finds herself able to create and do amazing things in her dreams.
This is a superbly written short story. I found the imagery vivid and enticing. This is especially important when the reader is exploring a character's dreams. We all know how foggy our own dreams can be, and how tongue-tied we sometimes feel when trying to related them to someone. Mr Oenemal did very well in immersing me in the dream world and marveling at the weirdness, comfort and fun of it all.
There were no grammatical or plot issues that I could find and the narrative had a steady flow to it. This is one of those stories where only a first person narrative would work, and Mr Oenemal did well to not lose himself or his character in the process.
"Then I feel it, deep in my stomach: I think of all the lost years of joy, the times where he's pretended to care, and promised me the world, and said things without following through. And I tell him, 'You've been passively destroying my passion for years!' A strange thing for a giant to say. I don't care." Locations 712-714
"Apparently at the gym you should look like a porn star, which she absolutely did this morning, with her bright purple leggings and blue sports top that revealed everything but nips whenever she bent over; and in the office you should look like Hilary Clinton, as demonstrated by her current flawless black pantsuit with a three-button jacket— which is trying unsuccessfully to hide her annoyingly full bust." Locations 249-251
"His muscles aren't huge, but they're defined like a Greek statue's, and they look… real… for lack of a better word. Those big guys at the uni gym don't look like they could do anything practical with their giant muscles; but Adam looks like he could chase down a bag snatcher, or build something, or save people from drowning in the sea." Locations 1284-1287
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I think some people might feel cheated when they realise that it's not 77 pages of lascivious, torrid, dirty sex. It's about a woman reclaiming her sexuality and her life and realising that she is the only one who can change the things that she is unhappy with. Other people only make us as unhappy as we allow them to make us. I found myself laughing out loud at some things, while nodding in vigorous agreement with other part of the narrative.
The sexual fantasies where fantastic, with the author really embracing the idea of the sky being the limit, literally so, at one point. There were elements of futanari fantasies, dub-con, squirting, gender-bending, and much more. More than the sex, the author makes some very acute observations regarding someone like Amy. That is to say, an A-type personality who despises not being in control but being unable to find sexual, and general, satisfaction in her life. I can relate to this character very strongly and I think that some readers may find the narrative ringing uncomfortably true for their own lives. Amy must realise that there is no-one stopping her from getting what she wants, she is the only one stopping herself. And this does not only apply to sexual gratification.
This is a great read with fantastic technical skill which allows for the reader's full immersion. I've read both of this author's current Amazon releases and I see great improvement between the two. He has a vivid imagination and knows how to tell a story. I especially like the fact that he doesn't shy away from sexual taboos, but moreover, he doesn't try to sugar coat these perceived "deviances". There are a few instances where the current gender climate may take issue with some of his portrayals of gendering but you need to look past that and look at it for what it is. It's a fictional story about dreams. There are massive margins at work here. Personally, I look forward to Mr Oenemal's future endeavours.

Q: Spring-boot bidirectional relationship or multiple query I'm using a Spring Boot web service, and i want to know the best way to manipulate the data the relationships between the entities.
The first method is using bidirectional relationships like the following:
Title entity :
@Entity
public class Title {
    private Integer id;
    private String name;
    private List<TitleCelebrity> titleCelebrities;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "id")
    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "name")
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "title", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    public List<TitleCelebrity> getTitleCelebrities() {
        return titleCelebrities;
    }

    public void setTitleCelebrities(List<TitleCelebrity> titleCelebrities) {
        this.titleCelebrities = titleCelebrities;
    }
}

TitleCelebrity entity :
@Entity
@Table(name = "title_celebrity")
public class TitleCelebrity {
    private Integer id;
    private String type;
    private Title title;

    @Id
    @Column(name = "id")
    public Integer getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(Integer id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    @Basic
    @Column(name = "type")
    public String getType() {
        return type;
    }

    public void setType(String type) {
        this.type = type;
    }

    @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
    @JoinColumn(name = "title_id")
    @JsonIgnore
    public Title getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(Title title) {
        this.title = title;
    }
}

so each time i make a request to get a title, i got the Title with the list of TitleCelebrity, and that's what i want.
now the other way is not to use bidirectional relationship, instead make two queries, the first is to get the Title and based on that Title id i make second query to get the TitleCelebrity.
i prefer the second way, but is it the best way to go ?

A: Why opt for the more resource demanding option? If you go with the latter option at least use a join. Executing two queries instead of letting the database handle it all at once is unnecessarily wasting resources.
Also, let your ORM (hibernate) handle the basic queries like this. There's really no reason to write out the queries yourself.

April 3, 2019 - Today, the QIANTUI K50 "Driving Extravaganza" Driving Pleasure Meet was held at the Ningbo International Speedway. More than 100 K50 owners and the media came to the racecourse, experiencing the excitement of the K50 "driving pleasure" up close. Star driver Ms. Xiong Dailin, her husband Mr. Guo Kesong and professional race driver Mr. Zhu Daiwei made surprise appearances, sharing a festival of speed with those living on the leading edge.
As China's first full electric city sports car, the QIANTU K50 has strong sports genes encoded in its DNA, so the quest on the track is naturally its mission. Before the QIANTU K50 went on the market, it had challenged six major domestic and international tracks, achieving excellent results, including 1:14:55 at Beijing Golden Port, Ordos track 2:4:18, Zhuhai track 1:55:34. These results owe to the design concept of the QIANTU K50, which combines the pleasure of driving a sports car with the attributes of an electric vehicle. The QIANTU K50 integrates a smart appearance, lightweight body, front and rear dual-motor 4WD system configuration, safe and reliable RESS system and professional chassis tuning into one, demonstrating exceptional strength with real results.
The Ningbo racecourse is known for its unique counterclockwise design, characterized by the Stop & Go feature popular today, which presents greater challenges to the race car's power output and maneuverability. Thanks to the top supercar-standard front and rear double-wishbone suspension equipped on the QIANTU K50, and the Pirelli P ZERO high-performance tires that always keep 100% contact with the ground, the K50 conquers sharp corners with excellent grip and provides a strong assurance for improved comfort and accurate handling. In addition, the QIANTU K50 chassis system is professionally tuned by the British company Mira, and tested at racecar-grade on Silverstone Circuit, thus providing the QIANTU K50 with extraordinary control, giving drivers more sensitive and smooth handling experience. At the same time, the Brembo fixed four opposed-piston front and rear brake calipers, Bosch ESP and other high-end equipment can also maximize the stability and safety of the QIANTU K50. In terms of acceleration performance, the QIANTU K50 clocks less than 4.6 seconds up to 100 km and achieves maximum speed of 200 km/h, offering the drivers maximum sprint and fun.
In addition to the traditional circuit and comprehensive test settings, the test drive also featured the exclusive Dragonfly track designed by Qiantu Motors. Dragonfly track is inspired by the Qiantu brand logo, spanning various turns and straight sections, offering an agile and challenging experience. In terms of the setting of barriers, it integrates the classical elements such as the Nürburgring and the Autumn Mountain Five-Hairpin Curve, so that the participants can experience the elements of many classical tracks all at once and enjoy a "game for the thrill-seekers".
Celebrity actress Xiong Dailin, who signed with Lotus Greater China Cup in 2014 as a driver, was joined by her husband Guo Kesong coming to cheer her on. This was the first time that the couple attended a public event together. They drove the QIANTU K50 together onto the track and experienced the performance of the QIANTU K50 with the guests. After the test drive, they shared their reaction with everyone. Becoming a race car driver has always been a common challenge in the couple's life, while experiencing the first full electric sports car in China was also a new experience in their racing career. While the QIANTU K50 doesn't have a roaring engine, its explosive power isn't at all lacking. The car may appear low-key but possesses real substance, like a quiet person with a passionate and wild side. This contrast is very attractive.
To meet consumer demand for speed and allow more to experience the unique driving fun of the QIANTU K50, Qiantu Motor established the first racecourse driving training platform in the EV industry –Driving Pleasure Point and Driving Pleasure Trips. By offering professional driving training and top-level circuit experience, Qiantu helps more car owners and consumers grasp the vehicles' high performance and enjoy the speed and passion from the race tracks. Qiantu Motor also takes full account of consumers' daily driving needs in the most common city scenarios and create two user test driving experience platforms: roadshow test driving and showroom test driving, so that more consumers can experience the quality of life brought by full electric driving in the city.

My brother is a meat and potatoes type of guy, so even though the rest of my family doesn't eat much red meat, I sometimes surprise him with a steak. This recipe yields an incredibly juicy piece of meat. The thing is…it's so simple to make, All the recipe involves is sear 2 minutes, flip, sear 2 minutes, bake 8 minutes, allow to rest. That's it!
Melt the butter and 2 teaspoons of oil with the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Turn off heat, add parsley.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of the oil. When the oil is hot, add the steaks. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes then flip. Sear for another 2-3 minutes. Drizzle half of the garlic butter sauce over the steaks, turn off heat, and cover the skillet with tin foil.
Put the covered skillet into the oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until your desired doneness (the timing I just explained will yield a medium-well steak).
Remove the steak from skillet, drizzle the remaining garlic butter sauce over the steaks, and allow to rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes (covered in foil).

Shakespeare and Hathaway – Private Investigators to return for new 10-episode run
Posted April 4, 2018 by John Moore Filed under
The current biggest BBC daytime show will get a new run, probably in early 2019.
Jo Joyner and Mark Benton will return for another series of their daytime drama Shakespeare and Hathaway – Private Investigators, says the BBC. The show, which is the most watched daytime TV series on catch-up, and hit the Top 10 of iPlayer in its first week, has been the Beeb's biggest daytime success since Father Brown – more than doubling BBC One's usual daytime viewing figures and audience share.
Made by BBC Studios Birmingham, and using Stratford (geddit?) and the wider Warwickshire countryside to great effect, the series featured odd couple Benton (The Halcyon, Waterloo Road) and Joyner (Eastenders, Ackley Bridge) as the world-worn PI and his more naive side-kick in stories created by Paul Matthew Thompson (Father Brown, Land Girls, Vera) and Jude Tindall (Doctors, Casualty, Father Brown).
Now, the pair will return for another 10-episode run of the show, which will begin shooting in September this year.
Jo Joyner commented that she was "really blown away by the support the first series garnered and we can't wait to see what they get up to next!"
For his part, Mark Benton said: "I'm so thrilled to be making the show again. The reaction was phenomenal and hopefully series two will be even better. Can't wait."
The full first series is available to watch on demand via BBC iPlayer.

In eastern Germany, pastors push for shots despite protests
by: KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, Associated Press
A doctor gives a man a vaccination against coronavirus inside the St. Petri church in Chemnitz, Germany, Sunday, Dec. 12, 2021. Pastor Christoph Herbst at St. Petri church is one of several Lutheran leaders who have been promoting vaccinations in a region that is among the hardest hit by the virus. (AP Photo/Markus Schreiber)
CHEMNITZ, Germany (AP) — The pastor opened the wrought-iron doors of St. Petri Church in the German city of Chemnitz and sighed with relief when he saw the long line of people waiting in the cold for shots against the coronavirus.
Together with the parish council, the Rev. Christoph Herbst had invited in a relief organization and volunteer doctors to conduct a Sunday vaccination clinic at the Lutheran church. The act of community outreach, the pastor knew, might not go over well in a part of Germany prone to vaccine resistance, including sometimes violent protests.
"I was very insecure about how people would react to our offer," Herbst said as he welcomed the waiting crowd into his neo-Gothic house of prayer. "In our region, there are very different and very polarized views about the coronavirus measures in general, about how to fight the pandemic, and especially about the vaccinations."
Saxony state, where Chemnitz and the city of Dresden are located, has the lowest vaccination rate among Germany's 16 federal states, and one of the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases. Only 60.1% of residents were fully vaccinated by Christmas, compared to the nationwide average of 70.8%. At some points in the pandemic, local hospitals had to transfer patients out of state because all the intensive care beds were full.
Lutheran pastors across Saxony have used their sermons to promote vaccines as the most efficient way to prevent severe illness and to end the pandemic. Like Herbst, many opened their churches for clinics this month, hoping that offering jabs in a familiar environment and without advance registration might persuade some holdouts.
"We believe that we have a responsibility that goes beyond ourselves, and that we should do something for society with the resources we have," Herbst explained. "We're not doctors and we're not professionals. But we have the space and we have volunteers who can organize something like this."
Chemnitz, a city of about 247,000 residents, was known as Karl-Marx-Stadt when it and the rest of Saxony were part of the former communist East Germany. Many of the local vaccine refusers cite concerns of possible side effects, but also feeling overwhelmed by what they see as too much pressure from authorities or general opposition to any measures endorsed by the government, according to Herbst.
Among those who patiently sat in a pew waiting to roll up their sleeves at Herbst's church were Hannelore and Bernd Hilbert, a retired couple from the nearby village of Amtsberg. They came to get booster shots because some of their five grandchildren are too young to be vaccinated, and the Hilberts hoped to see them for Christmas.
"Last year's Christmas was really sad. We were all alone," Hannelore Hilbert, 70. said.
"We're grateful for the church to offer these shots," added her 72-year-old husband, who said they had waited unsuccessfully for shots at a hospital a few days earlier.
The vast majority of the church's vaccine recipients on a recent Sunday turned out to have more in common with the booster-seeking couple than the skeptical or frightened community members Saxony's pastors are trying to reach.
Of the 251 vaccines administered during St. Petri's daylong clinic, 18 went to individuals receiving their first dose. None of them wanted to speak with The Associated Press about why they'd changed their minds and decided to get shots almost one year into Germany's mass immunization campaign.
A loud minority in Germany has opposed any kind of anti-virus measures since the start of the pandemic. The resistance grew angrier and more aggressive in recent weeks after the national parliament this month passed a vaccine mandate for some professions and most of the country's regions resumed some form of restrictions in response to the latest wave of infections.
With mass demonstrations banned in several parts of the country due to the pandemic, vaccine opponents have gathered for protest "walks" – unauthorized marches organized quickly via social media. Around 30 protesters showed up with torches outside the home of Saxony state Health Minister Petra Koepping one night, shouting slurs until police arrived.
The protests swelled in recent days, sometimes drawing thousands of people. Police detained several participants for attacking officers and journalists. Some Lutheran pastors received criticism and personal threats for their efforts to encourage vaccination.
Herbst said he thinks the majority of Saxons back the country's immunization campaign and that far-right groups intent on undermining democracy have coopted anti-vaccine sentiment, fueling an already present sense among residents of Germany's east of feeling left behind 30 years after the country's reunification.
When parishioners confront him with their opposition to vaccines, the pastor says he tries to listen instead of judge.
"And I listen to things that are sometimes difficult to hear," he said. "I also listen to things that I think belong in the realm of conspiracy theories. I don't confirm those. But it's important that there's a space where we listen to each other without immediately lapsing into condemnation."
However, the pastor wonders if at this point all the arguments for and against vaccination have been exchanged and the decision of whether or not to get immunized no longer should be left as a matter of personal choice.
"There are people who say what is needed now is a democratically legitimized decision by parliament on a general vaccine mandate," Herbst said. "That would be a decision that does not work on moral pressure, but rather on the basis of a set of rules that applies to everyone."


Electronic mail (email) is a method of exchanging digital messages, designed primarily for human use.
The Email feature in the OCS range may be used on any OCS which has an ethernet interface natively on board or is fitted with a GPRS modem card.
The email feature allows sending of email messages with embedding textual real time data from the OCS.
Email was supported in Cscape from release 9.00 and in applicable units with firmware 12.60 or later.
To alert remote users to alarm conditions.
To send run time information about machine status during the previous day or shift.
The following dialog box is displayed. 'Enable Email Configuration' must be checked to allow the email functionality to run.
Typically a pair of status registers will also be specified which will allow checking that email operations are running successfully. Refer to the Cscape help file for details of the information which is reflected in the status registers.
After enabling emails and locating the status registers, the next step is to configure the email server which will be used. Click the 'Email Server Configuration' button to set this up.
This setting selects whether the email function should run via the Ethernet or GPRS mode.
When selected this causes many of the server configuration fields to be taken from registers in the OCS rather than from constant values. This is particularly of use to customers designing products which are preprogrammed and need to have the server configured at installation time, rather than prior to shipping from the factory. Where strings are used for a setting then they should be stored in a contiguous register block and a space or null (zero) character used to terminate them.
Set here the Email address of the controller. Alternatively if the 'Get Settings from Register' box is checked enter the location of the string buffer where the email address will be taken from.
Obtain SMTP Server IP Address from DNS Server.
In situations where the SMTP server IP needs to be obtained from a DNS server, check this box.
This field is only enabled when 'Obtain SMTP Server IP Address from DNS Server.' is checked. Enter the IP address of the DNS server or the location of a 32 bit register which will contain the DNS server IP if 'Get Settings from Register' is checked.
This field is only enabled when 'Obtain SMTP Server IP Address from DNS Server.' is checked. Enter the name of the DNS server, or if the 'Get Settings from Register' box is checked enter the location of the string buffer where the SMTP server name will be stored. Typically the SMTP server name will be provided by the email service provider.
Specify the SMTP Server IP address of the email service provider here, or if the 'Get Settings from Register' box is checked enter the location of a 32 bit register which will contain the SMTP server IP address.
The default port for email configuration is 25, but this can be overridden if required. If 'Get Settings from Register' is checked then the Port number will be taken from the defined register location.
The OCS supports the login mode of SMTP authentication. To use this feature, the Authentication SMTP checkbox should be checked, and then the username and password for authentication provided here.
If the 'Get Settings from Register' box is checked the location of buffers for both the password and user name should be set here.
Once the server is configured then the email addresses to which emails may be sent are entered in the 'Email Directory'.
The feature allows for creating groups of contacts which will all receive particular messages (for example the maintenance group, which will receive messages requesting maintenance for the OCS).
The email addresses may be entered directly or specified to be taken from a string in the OCS registers.
Finally we must configure the emails which will be sent by the OCS. The set of messages to be sent is configured is configured in the table 'Email Send Mails' which is accessed by clicking 'Outgoing messages' in the main email configuration dialog box.
For each individual mail the following data needs to be configured.
This is a bit variable in the OCS which will be set by the control logic or from the operator interface to cause the message to be sent. Normally the bit will be reset automatically by the Email feature within 30sec of being set if either the mail has been sent or an error has occurred. In the event of an error, the cause of the error will be reflected in the Email Status registers. If the bit does not reset within 30 seconds that generally means that: the Device is not in RUN mode; the Email feature is not configured or an invalid Email configuration has been downloaded.
Selects the email group to which the email will be sent.
A fixed text string which is used as the subject line for the email.
A fixed text field which may contain live from OCS registers. To embed data from OCS registers click the 'Insert Embedded Data' button. The register location to be used and the format in which to display the data can then be selected.
