West Virginia GOP Fractured By Political Appointment Feud
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- On a beach vacation in South Carolina with his family, Jay Marcum was awaiting a call from the governor of West Virginia. He was a finalist for the vacant seat of a state legislator who resigned after being charged with illegally entering the U.S. Capitol in the Jan. 6 riot.
Instead, state Republican leaders ordered a redo on candidate applications and insisted Marcum return home for an in-person interview.
"I don't really understand why we can't do a Zoom," he told them. Nevertheless, the 51-year-old small-business owner packed up his disappointed children and left Myrtle Beach at 6 a.m. for the nine-hour trip home.
Ultimately, his journey was for naught: Republican Gov. Jim Justice ended up appointing neither Marcum nor either of the two other candidates who had been placed on a shortlist by GOP party leaders in Wayne County, where the delegate seat is located.
Justice instead appointed a political neophyte, enraging Republicans in the rural county and unleashing accusations of subterfuge and backdoor politics in the Mountain State.
The fracas comes on the heels of a triumphant red wave in the November elections that gave West Virginia's Republican party a legislative supermajority. For the first time in generations, a Republican won in Wayne County, long dominated by Democrats. But Del. Derrick Evans soon resigned under pressure after he recorded himself joining the violent pro-Trump mob that breached the Capitol.
County Republicans claim the West Virginia GOP — which created its own shortlist for the seat — intervened to anoint a political favorite, a charge the governor denies. County Republican Committee chairman Jeffrey Maynard has gotten the state Supreme Court to temporarily block Justice's appointment while judges hear a complaint challenging its legality.
State law requires that the governor fill a vacant delegate seat with one of three candidates recommended by party leaders in the seat's district.
But on Jan. 22, a day after Marcum and the two other candidates on the county's shortlist were interviewed at the Wayne County courthouse, Justice filled the vacancy with Joshua Booth, 41, an executive at a family-run road contractor who had never run for office. Booth's name appeared in place of Marcum's on the list that state GOP officials submitted to Justice.
Marcum says the selection process reminded him of a television sitcom or a third world country, "where the dictator comes in and says, 'Well, that's not really the names you choose. ... We think you choose these names.' And everybody knows, you better be quiet."
The Justice administration, which declined interview requests, has forcefully rejected allegations that Booth was added as a candidate at his behest.
"The governor's office at no time intervened in this case," the governor's chief of staff, Brian Abraham, told MetroNews radio on Friday. Abraham said Maynard even signed off on the second list.
But Maynard said acting state GOP chairman Roman Stauffer — who interviewed applicants one by one as they sat on the witness stand at the courthouse — handed him a blank page to sign. He said he didn't see it filled out with names until his attorney later sent him a copy.
"My immediate reaction was disgust," he said.
Stauffer said the party's legal response will speak for itself. He declined further comment.
In a filing on Monday, Republican Attorney General Patrick Morrisey said the first list of candidates from the county was canned because it was on the wrong letterhead.
But it remained unclear why, a day after county Republicans sent their list to the governor, the state GOP ran an ad in a local newspaper seeking candidates. The tiny notice appeared in the classifieds, between rental home listings and a now-hiring ad for a restaurant called Jim's Spaghetti.
"NEW TODAY!" it announced, adding that Republicans interested in joining the legislature should email the state GOP chairman.
Marcum was bewildered at the posting for the $20,000-a-year position.
"We're not talking about a job at 7-Eleven," he said.
Booth, whom Stauffer interviewed on Jan. 21 along with the county-recommended candidates, declined interview requests, citing the court case. "I believe I am as Wayne County as they come, and as such, I think that I share the viewpoints and experiences of my fellow residents," he said in a statement last week.
The dispute has left the two other Republicans recommended by county officials fuming.
"Some of the Republican people throughout the country were talking about how the election was stolen at a national level," said candidate finalist and teacher Mark Ross, 60. "And then they turn around, and Mr. Stauffer does the same thing in Wayne County. He steals the people's choice by not taking that first list."
Chad Shaffer, a 68-year-old former state trooper also on the county's list, said parts of Stauffer's questioning disturbed him.
One of the questions was, "If the Republican Party asked me to do something that would violate my conscience, would I go along with what they wanted?" Shaffer recalled. "I looked at him, and I said, 'No.' I don't think they liked that answer."
Shaffer and Ross both said Stauffer should resign.
"Shame on the Republican Party," Shaffer said. "I guess the swamp has made its way down to West Virginia."

2. Yet the old somehow got mingled with the new too. At the Shikumen Open House Museum of Xintiandi (a.k.a. New Heaven and Earth), I walked from room to room, overwhelmed by a nostalgia constructed and artificial, that nonetheless urged me to imagine what the life of a woman was like in early twentieth-century Shanghai. It was the age of foreign concessions – an age so remote, yet so peculiarly intimate to the one in which we are living, owing to efforts of the nation to resurrect the glamorous and infamous period for the sake of progress.

Vermont Lawmakers Consider Legislation to Expand Cannabis Expungements
Maine announced last week that adult-use cannabis sales will launch Oct. 9, nearly four full years after voters approved legalization in November 2016.
Despite the years-long rollout of the adult-use market, Jim Henry, CEO of Sweet Dirt, a medical cannabis operator that holds multiple conditional licenses in the adult-use program, says Maine's cannabis industry will be worth the wait.
"They've done their diligence and … they've been incredibly thoughtful about this," Jim says. "The length of time that the rollout has taken has certainly been challenging and sometimes, to some individuals, frustrating. But I think the state has done a really nice job and they'll actually have a really nice program."
Sweet Dirt was founded in 2015 by a married couple, Hughes and Kristin Pope, who were registered caregivers under Maine's medical cannabis program. Operations ramped up near the end of 2018, when they opened their first storefront for medical sales.
Then, at the beginning of 2019, the company began preparing for the forthcoming adult-use market by submitting its licensing applications and raising capital to acquire and build out additional cultivation, extraction, manufacturing and retail facilities.
"This sounds like a long time out, but we were under the impression that adult-use would probably be happening right around the first quarter of 2020," Jim says. "There were some hiccups along the way, and then we experienced a global pandemic, which slowed things down, as well."
Overall, though, Jim says Maine's Office of Marijuana Policy has done "a very nice job" with the rollout of the adult-use market.
"Both the state and the municipalities have really studied what happened out west in places like Oregon, California and Colorado, and tried their hardest to make sure that they did not see the same kind of hiccups that some of those places saw," he says.
From Disaster Comes Opportunity
Sweet Dirt was on track to be a vertically integrated medical cannabis operator in Maine when a fire damaged the company's indoor cultivation and extraction facilities, as well as its commercial kitchen, in June 2019. No one was injured, the facilities were fully insured, and from the disaster came opportunity, as Sweet Dirt pivoted its business plan toward the next chapter.
"It allowed us to rethink how we were going to attack the adult-use market," Jim says. "We saw it as an opportunity. Again, lots of challenges came out of it [and] it was not a perfect situation, but we certainly saw the opportunity in that."
Sweet Dirt is headquartered in Eliot, Maine, right along the New Hampshire border. The town has been very accepting of the cannabis industry, Jim says, and voted in 2019 to allow adult-use businesses within its borders.
"One of the things that the state of Maine has done well, is they're allowing municipalities to decide their own fate in this program, and municipalities get to decide whether they opt in," he says. "Some opt in through elections, some opt in through city council, but they're allowed to opt in."
Eliot was one of the first municipalities to opt in to the program, Jim adds, and Sweet Dirt plans to be vertically integrated there with cultivation, extraction and manufacturing facilities, as well as a medical and adult-use dispensary.

Sweet Dirt plans to be vertically integrated in Eliot with cultivation, extraction and manufacturing facilities, as well as a medical and adult-use dispensary.
The company holds five conditional adult-use licenses from the state—two for cultivation and three for retail—and it is awaiting conditional approval on a manufacturing license. In addition to Eliot, Sweet Dirt has applied for municipal licenses in Portland and Waterville.
Sweet Dirt reworked the facilities on its existing plot of land in Eliot after the fire and ended up constructing a 32,800-square-foot greenhouse that the team calls "Shangri-La."
"In a manner of speaking, it's a religious experience being inside it," Jim says. "It's quite the facility."
The company expects the project to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year, just in time for the launch of adult-use sales.
A Commitment to Maine
As Sweet Dirt transitions to the state's adult-use cannabis market, the team is committed to celebrating its Maine roots through its brand aesthetic.
VP of Marketing Rebecca Henry says there is an appreciation for craft businesses in Maine, from food to the craft beer industry, and Sweet Dirt is looking to offer that same craft experience in the cannabis market.
"What we're trying to achieve is elevating the brand, the conversation and the buying experience, making it something where you're going into your friend's upscale home and purchasing and feeling it's a friendly, safe place to buy clean, quality product and to explore and learn," Rebecca says. "We've created that really inviting environment in our stores and packaging. We're very focused on the communities we serve. We're careful in the products we're curating, the products we're producing and even our packaging so that what's getting dumped into our local transfer stations and dumps is as friendly as it can be to the environment."
Sweet Dirt is building out a 32,800-square-foot greenhouse in Eliot that the team calls "Shangri-La."
Sweet Dirt is certified through the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), which recognizes organic farmers and food producers in the state.
"I think fewer than 15 of the thousands of caregivers in the state voluntarily sought out that status, where we would have inspections and certain quality control that we'd have in place and measures to ensure we're growing truly organic and organically grown product, certified clean," Rebecca says.
Maine welcomes about 36 million tourists per year, and in addition to local traffic, Sweet Dirt anticipates a boost from tourism when the adult-use market finally launches.
"That from our standpoint is a huge advantage," Jim says. "We have really looked at the way that we position our location in Waterville in central Maine by the ski resorts, by the Belgrade Lakes, [and] in Portland, … in the largest municipality in the state, where all the cruise ships come into town and where the airport is. … And then Eliot is right on the border of Maine, where 10,000 cars travel over the bridge every Saturday morning from the eastern seaboard and … their first [stop] in the state of Maine is Eliot. We've really looked at the tourism market in the state and adjusted our strategy from that standpoint."
When hiring new employees for its expansion to the adult-use market, Sweet Dirt focuses on customer service and product training to ensure the staff is prepared to serve an expanded customer base.
"If we hire the right people and we are diligent from day one about making sure that they understand what this company is about and the ethos that this company is trying to portray to the general public, then I think we've done a really nice job from a hiring standpoint," Jim says.
Sweet Dirt plans to hire an additional 125 to 150 employees within the next year, and the foundation is what Jim calls "one of the best executive teams in the entire state," which is 70% female.
"We have been very diligent about the people that we've brought on board from all walks of life, some from in cannabis, some from out of cannabis," he says. "But everybody on the executive team brings something to bear that has made this a special organization."
Leaning on Lessons Learned
Jessica Oliver, Sweet Dirt's VP of Cannabis Operations, has worked in Maine's medical market for nearly a decade, and she says adult-use businesses can learn from the medical industry's early growing pains.
"I remember when this program launched in 2011 with everybody scrambling for supply and limiting what folks could purchase," Oliver says. "To see the medical market evolve into such a mature market is something we're really looking forward to for adult-use, but we also know we'll have the challenge of the product supply chain meeting demand. I think our experience in dealing with that in the medical market gives us a confidence and a path forward to get through that in adult-use."
Oliver also expects regulations to become less stringent as the market matures.
"As we've seen in other states, the legislative statutes can perhaps be a little bit tight at the beginning, and then as the governing bodies get a little bit more comfortable, things change and loosen up, so we're preparing for and anticipating the changes to come and also pivoting where we need to [in order] to meet the standards right out of the gate," she says. "I would say we all in all feel well-prepared for the challenges that we're going to face."
Sweet Dirt VP of Cannabis Operations Jessica Oliver says the company can take lessons learned from balancing supply and demand in Maine's medical cannabis market to overcome the challenge of the supply chain meeting demand in the forthcoming adult-use market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has also taught Sweet Dirt some valuable lessons, while changing the way the company does business.
Maine has experienced a 30% increase in medical cannabis enrollments since the pandemic began, Oliver says, which has increased medical cannabis sales across the state. Maine's medical cannabis businesses were deemed essential during the state's coronavirus-related shutdown, and Sweet Dirt was able to retain all its staff—and even expand—while many businesses in other industries were furloughing and laying off employees.
"I think we're extremely fortunate to be in an industry that is clearly recession-proof," Oliver says.
"From day one, from the moment that this pandemic started, we have, as an organization, taken our employees', our customers', and our vendors' health and safety as paramount," Jim adds. "It's more important than any business plan we have. We were able to incorporate that attitude with continuing to build out. Certainly, things might have taken a little bit longer than they would have previously, but the process of getting to adult-use is taking a little bit longer because the state, the OMP and the legislature all felt the same challenges that we did. So, we feel like we're in this together."
Sweet Dirt has implemented curbside pickup and social distancing into its policies and procedures, and over the next several months, the company plans to ensure all of its new stores are built out and opened, new employees are hired and trained, and that it has the right supply and the right partners to meet market demand.
More Opportunities Ahead
In the longer-term, Sweet Dirt would like to not only grow its existing supply chain, but also expand to additional municipalities in the state.
"One of the things [Jessica] taught me very early on is, in this industry, you can never have enough space," Jim says. "We have acres of land that we are using, and we always find that we can always use more space."
Sweet Dirt will also strive to maximize efficiency as it settles into the adult-use market, he adds. "We want this to be an organic, well-thought-out product that comes from our cultivation, but we also want to make sure that we're maximizing the efficiency so that we can have the most amount of product and the best product out there for our customers."
"You can't get a better state than the state of Maine for an industry like this," Jim adds. "It really is the dream state for this, from a geographic standpoint [and] a topical standpoint, from the rocky shores to the mountains to the beaches. … This is about a company that is really committed to that state and making sure that we not only brand ourselves as it relates to being a Maine-based company, but [that we also try] to give back to a state that has really given our employees so much."

Twofold, London-based artist Peter Liversidge's current solo exhibition on view at Sean Kelly, delves into dynamics and methods of contemporary art. The most vivid representation of his analytical approach is his proposals exhibited alongside the artworks they eventually bore. Ten artworks hung around the gallery and twelve proposals accompanying them signal two unrealized, failed attempts. Failure, as well as incompetence, prevails the artist's eclectic body of work. Rather than submitting to its intimidating aura, the artist embraces failure and molds it into a method for an artistic experiment.
Polaroid diptychs surrounding the gallery convey tranquil and meditative scenarios fetched from the core of life. Light reflected on a wavy pool, shadow of a group of trees in New York or one random wrinkly bed sheet spread on a bed are captured in two consecutive shots seconds apart from each other. While differences between two versions in each pair hesitate to unfold, they are there, because time is there. Slight deviations between two versions signal the intruding hand of time. The unattainability of time despite the mankind's struggle, and failure, to control it prevails the series. Coin Drop, a participatory performance piece in which the audience was asked to drop 25,000 brand new pennies around the gallery floor during the opening reception, manifests the fluidity of time in the same sense, rather through a rather more hands-on method. Shifting around the gallery with guests walking on and around them, pennies will keep roaming for the duration of the exhibition, orchestrating a transformative work of art susceptible to fluctuation. I interviewed the artist about his current exhibition.
Osman Can Yerebakan: Your proposals reflect your way of thinking en route an artwork, but on the other hand, they are, like any artist proposal, administrative documents. How do you draw the line between art and life in terms of these proposals?
Peter Liversidge: I don't think there has to be a line drawn between them. For me, the Proposals act as a conduit to/for the work, as a starting point; whatever or however that work then manifests itself, the proposal is key.
OCY: In your proposals, there exists a ritual, from the Olivetti typewriter you use to the letter-like finished piece, that seems romantic and hopeful. I can see them as love letters in which you express your admiration to these artworks. Like any love story, here there is the chance for rejection and failure. What does such potential for failure mean to you?
PL: Ritual is important, but failure is vital to progress. It is dependent, of course, on our own personal understanding of failure. Failure is something that is part of my studio practice, in daily experimentation, and then editing work from the studio, I only show a very small percentage of what is made there, the majority folded back in. Within the proposals themselves, there is an invitation to individuals to read them, but what if they don't? is that a failure on the part of the audience? or upon myself for not engaging them directly enough?
My realization of the work is how I interpret the typewritten proposal; it may not be the correct, or most accurate interpretation of the described work but it is my interpretation. With this in mind, it is always important to remember that there are many ways, directions in which a single proposal can go. Alongside the realized proposals (there are 2 of the 12 Proposals unrealized in Twofold at Sean Kelly Gallery) are the equally important non-realized proposals, which I do not consider to be failures because the individuals reading the typewritten text complete the work through how they respond to and interpret it. This interpretation and internalization by an audience is the central to the work, realized or not.
OCY: You've mentioned you are not fully concerned whether the pieces come into fruition or not. You in a way provide every person the potential to imagine and orchestrate their own work. Can we interpret this approach as "anti-object"?
PL: I don't believe that the approach is anti-object at all. I approach working in this way to invite others into the work but also to start a process which allows my work to develop in opposite, tangential directions whilst always having the exact same starting point – a blank sheet of A4 paper.
OCY: Your Polaroid diptychs and BEFORE/AFTER neon bulb sculptures stem from our problematic association with the notion of time. We know that any game played with time is a losing battle in which we submit to its unstoppable flow. You however challenge this fact in these works. How does time influence you as an artist and thinker?
PL: I always think about how one represents something that is in constant flux and always changing, that has no form no actual physically yet is dependable and always the same day in, day out. The two works you mention address time in subtly different ways. Both are addressing something that is missing. It is not what the two are, but to what they cannot be as a static object/image – the exact point of experience.
OCY: The key to BEFORE/AFTER is that moment that the lights change, not when it is static. At that moment, for a fraction of a second, as it switches between the two words and the work is in play, that is when it actually exists. The random timer that powers the illumination of the two words individually introduces an unpredictable measure to the piece, at any time it may be before, or, after; but of what?
PL: Similarly, the instant photographic diptychs bookend a period of intangible time, marking a specific moment and also its passing. The two images (of the same subject) reveal only the changes that have happened. In trying to replicate the first image with the second piece of instant film, I am questioning the idea of a truly original image. The second image is just a copy of the first, taken once the first has fully developed and has no original intent only one of replication. It is this idea of replication in the context of time passing that is of great interest to me, at what point do we become aware of time passing and how? The shifts, however subtle, between the two images allow us to conceive that time is passing.
OCY: — Your proposals, coin performance and postal experiments challenge not only the dynamics of the art world, but also seem to question the systems of the modern civilization. Can you talk about your subversive drives?
PL: I'm interested in expectation; what could be done, what should be done, how should it be done, and always why? I've also always been intrigued by the outsider(s) that exist within accepted ideas of culture. In my early teens, I discovered outsider art, music and the subversive nature of live performance – where the audience and performer meet. A performance by Neil Young on British television was particularly influential, his reverence for the proceedings and for the audience and in turn their reverence for him. This element of the performance was just as important as the actual music for me.
I think you can see this influence in my proposals with how the text from the proposal gives others the responsibility for the work and in as much the work does not have to actually physically exist other than in a description. It becomes about how we as individuals relate to the ideas presented in the text and project ourselves and our experience onto the work. This in turn introduces the question of authorship, to whom the work actually belongs. Once the proposals are written and exhibited they no longer actually belong to me physically or metaphysically.

RIDLEY, THOMAS, merchant and politician; b. in England or Ireland in 1799; d. Upper Tooting, Surrey, Eng., 20 March 1879.
Thomas Ridley came to Newfoundland to work for his uncle William Bennett, a merchant with premises at Adams Cove, Carbonear. By 1824 they had formed a partnership, Bennett and Ridley, which lasted until the late 1820s. Ridley, having married a daughter of a well-to-do Liverpool family, was joined by her relative Thomas Harrison in the firm of Thomas Ridley and Company, with headquarters at Harbour Grace but with stores as well at Carbonear and Western Bay. In spite of the fire of 1832 which destroyed much of Harbour Grace, Ridley built up a flourishing business. In the late 1830s Ridley established a partnership with Gilbert Henry Harrison and James Harrison – Ridley, Harrison and Company. After the death of Gilbert H. Harrison in 1849 this partnership was dissolved and Ridley took his two sons, Thomas Harrison and William, into the business as Ridley and Sons.
Several incidents in the 1830s, a decade marked by bad feeling between fishermen and merchants, show that Thomas Ridley was especially unpopular. In February 1832 after the sealers' strikes and riots at Harbour Grace and Carbonear, all the merchants made concessions except Ridley. As a result a mob of fishermen boarded and partially destroyed Ridley's schooner, the Perseverance. In the 1836 general election Ridley was forced to withdraw as a candidate because of violence and intimidation. Then in the Conception Bay by-election of December 1840, while trying in his capacity as a magistrate to keep order, Ridley was hit over the head and nearly killed. The times, nevertheless, were changing. In 1842 Ridley was elected to represent Conception Bay in the Amalgamated Legislature. From 1843 to 1848 he also sat as a member of the Executive Council.
After 1850, with Thomas Harrison Ridley emerging as the most prominent member of the family, Ridley and Sons expanded and played a leading role, second only to that of John Munn's firm, in the development of Harbour Grace as the commercial centre of Conception Bay. They set up a branch at Catalina, took part in the seal hunt, carried on extensive operations on the Labrador, and began to develop the winter codfishery at Rose Blanche. In the fall of 1870 the news that Ridley and Sons were in trouble came as a shock both to their creditors and to the many fishermen who were depending on them for winter supplies. In spite of efforts to keep the business going, Ridley and Sons were declared insolvent in 1873. They sold out to the Munns and moved back to England where Thomas Ridley died.

Discovery Season 3 could feature a Star Trek crossover nobody saw coming
Time to take another look at that trailer.
Ryan Britt
Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 takes place 930 years after Season 2. That means, in theory, the crew shouldn't encounter anyone from Trek canon who wasn't already on the ship or a fellow time-traveler. The year 3187 is so far past most Trek canon, that Discovery Season 3 is essentially a sequel to all of Star Trek up until this point. Everyone involved with the show, including star Sonequa Martin-Green, has pointed out this time-travel jump will give the new season a "clean slate."
Does that we won't see anyone from the expansive Trek universe? Could legacy characters who aren't time travelers or space gods (like "Q") still cross over to the new Discovery? One familiar face from Deep Space Nine could easily return for Discovery Season 3, and there are already clues from the trailers that it will happen.
Based on the 2019 New York Comic-Con trailer for Discovery Season 3, we already know several classic alien races will return this season, like the Andorians and the Trill. The Andorians aren't immortal or long-lived (as far as we know) but the Trill certainly are. In two scenes in the trailer, we clearly see members of the Trill, and we also see Burnham in what appear to be caves on the Trill homeworld. We also see a new character who appears to be floating in the Trill pools.
To refresh your memory, here's the trailer again.
Below are screenshots of the relevant moments.

A new character (?) floating in what look to be the Trill caves. CBS
There are two kinds of Trill — joined and non-joined. The joined Trill carry a symbiont, a worm-like lifeform that is often several centuries old and has a personality that is both independent of the host body, but also, integrated with that person, too. In the Caves of Mak'ala, the worm-like symbionts could live independent of a host-body. These caves are guarded by Trill called the Guardians. The red-robed Trill in the Discovery trailer certainly seem like they are Trill guardians and the milky pool we see also seems like the Caves of Mak'ala.
This means it's likely some kind of Trill symbiont will play a major part in Discovery Season 3. Burnham is searching for answers as to what happened to the Federation and Starfleet in the intervening centuries, and it makes sense to confer with the Trill. The symbionts live for so many lifetimes, so they are the perfect lifeforms to chat with about living history.
In the DS9 episode, "Trials and Tribble-alations," Jadzia Dax said this when she time-traveled from the 24th century back the 23rd century, "I guess the difference between you and me is I remember this time. I lived in this time and it's hard to not want to be part of it again."
Bottom line: A Trill symbiont knows a lot.
So, we know Discovery is going to bring back the Trill. But will they bring back the most famous Trill of all? Will they bring back Dax?
Dax and Kira in 'Deep Space Nine' CBS
Dax could easily return for Discovery Season 3, and also be played by a variety of actors any gender or ethnicity. Any of these new characters — including Cleaveland Booker (David Ajala) — could secretly be Dax! Dax hid her spots on more than one occasion when it was time to go undercover.
On a more serious note, what about that new character floating in the caves? Could Burnham herself be joined with the Dax symbiont? If that happened, then Burnham could briefly become Dax, and if you don't think there's a precedent for that, then go back and watch the very first TNG episode with the Trill. In "The Host," Riker briefly becomes joined with Ambassador Odan, and thus, carries the memories and experience of that Trill.
In Deep Space Nine, we were aware of several Dax hosts. The two most regular Daxes were Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) and after Jadzia was killed in "Tears of the Prophets," the symbiont was transferred to Ezri Dax (Nicole de Boer). Prior to Jadzia, there had been at least eight different hosts of Dax, and the symbiont had been alive since the year 2018. This means that Dax had memories that predated human first contact with the Vulcans, but also that Dax was a contemporary of several people during the 23rd Century, including the Klingons Kang, Koloth, and Kor, but also, Dr. "Bones" McCoy. So, if Dax's lives extended that far back in Trek's past, why not the future?
Discovery bringing on a new Dax would be amazing. But, on top of that, it would also be smart. The brilliant thing about Dax is that every time they change hosts, it becomes partially a new character. If Discovery wanted to play one nostalgia card in Season 3, while keeping the rest of the show aimed at unchartered territory into the future, Dax is definitely the way to go.
Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 premieres October 15 on CBS All Access.

Q: Update AChartEngine chart in fragment
When I change spinner value, chart is updated on TAB2 but not in TAB1 even if the TAB1 is active and showed on the screen.
Here is my code...
onCreateView:
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_charts_line, container, false);

    layoutChart = (LinearLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.chart);

    ...all renderer settings...

return rootView;

onViewCreated:
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState){

    Toolbar mToolbar = (Toolbar) getActivity().findViewById(R.id.toolbar_actionbar);
    final Spinner spinner_nav = (Spinner) mToolbar.findViewById(R.id.spinner_nav);
    spinner_nav.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            cSpinner = spinner_nav.getSelectedItem().toString();
            showChart(cSpinner);
        }
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
        }
    });

    cSpinner= spinner_nav.getSelectedItem().toString();
    showChart(cSpinner);
}

showChart:
public void showChart(String account){

    if (mChartView == null) {
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) layoutChart.findViewById(R.id.chart);
        mChartView = ChartFactory.getTimeChartView(layoutChart.getContext().getApplicationContext(), mDataset, mRenderer, "MMM yyyy");
        layout.addView(mChartView, new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
    } else {
        mChartView.repaint();
    }
}

What I want is to update all charts in every tab, or at least to update chart in current tab. Every variable name is different in every tab Fragment.

Why Brexiteers finally turning against the Good Friday Agreement is so dangerous
On Friday, former NI-Secretary Owen Paterson tweeted "The collapse of power-sharing in Northern Ireland shows the Good Friday Agreement has outlived its use" with a link to a Daily Telegraph article written by Ruth Dudley Edwards. The crucial paragraph from the Edwards piece is the final one:
"Realists believe the GFA has served its purpose and run its course, leaving behind the unintended consequence of enshrining sectarianism in the political process. Rationally, Ireland and the UK should face the truth, and begin a renegotiation and updating of the GFA. But with Brexit preoccupying both, the hot money seems to be on fudged direct rule and undeserved concessions to the wrecking party in the hope of bribing it back into power. It is a gloomy scenario."
While the above is written carefully, discussing the idea of "renegotiation" as opposed to outright abandonment of the peace process, it is indicative of a quietly handled shift that is happening in Brexit thinking: that the Good Friday Agreement is no longer a sacred cow. Owen Paterson retweeting the provocative headline underscores this. Dan Hannan, a sort of human barometer of Brexiteering (watch for it: if Hannan says the time has come for a soft Brexit, the game is truly up), tweeted the following yesterday:
1. Corbyn will side with any cause, however monstrous, provided it is anti-West
2. The Good Friday Agreement has failed
3. Don't fall for the romantic myth of Jacobitism
The tweet then links to a Telegraph article that starts with some stuff about Corbyn and the Communist spy malarkey, and proceeds to this on the topic of the GFA:
"The Belfast Agreement is often spoken about in quasi-religious terms – literally, for it is more widely known as the Good Friday Agreement. But its flaws have become clearer over time. The original deal represented a bribe to two sets of hardliners who, having opposed power-sharing, came to support it when they realised that they would be the direct beneficiaries. For 20 years, Sinn Féin and the DUP have propped each other up like two exhausted boxers in a clinch. A permanent grand coalition leaves them free to reward their supporters with subsidies and sinecures.
"Well, that's better than shooting each other," say well-meaning people. But the Belfast Agreement was a consequence, not a cause, of the end of terrorism, and there are less corrupting ways to guarantee civilian politics."
This is dangerous in countless ways, but I'll stick to the ones I think most pertinent. One, introducing the idea that the GFA is almost totally incidental to the peace that has existed in Norther Ireland over the past two decades – as if it was a mere technicality underpinning a vast process as opposed to the glue that holds that peace together. Two, arguing for the supposed ease of getting another peace agreement in Northern Ireland to replace the GFA. One that presumably doesn't involve a power sharing arrangement, remember. As if Sinn Fein and the DUP could have a weekend away together and come up with a new and improved means of avoiding large scale violence in Ireland, all while getting nothing for themselves in the process. Of course, one could point out that these two parties couldn't come to an agreement about sitting in a parliament together, never mind a whole new constitutional settlement that will underpin peace in the region, but Hannan has actually dealt with this in his own inimitable way. That's what the "Sinn Féin and the DUP have propped each other up like two exhausted boxers in a clinch" line is all about – as if you could get a replacement GFA, easily, on the hoof, in the midst of the Brexit negotiations, all while bypassing both the largest Unionist and Nationalist parties completely along the way. Does Hannan actually believe something so outrageously politically naïve?
One can't help but think that because the Good Friday Agreement is a tricky obstacle on the way towards a hard Brexit, it needs to be talked down just a wee bit. I also can't help but notice that the Brexiteer idea that a new Good Friday Agreement will be the easiest thing in the world sounds a lot like what they thought the Brexit negotiations with the EU were going to be like a little over a year ago. Whatever the motivation, the GFA cannot become collateral damage in all of this, under any circumstances.
Filed Under: Europe, Foreign Affairs
Awkwardly for Brexiters, the Good Friday Agreement was underpinned by two referendums: approved by 71% in Northern Ireland (on an 81% turn out) and 94% in Ireland.
I see this much more optimistically. That this comes from Brexit zealots, it does look as though the penny has begun to drop; they are beginning to realise that the Irish border presents an insuperable barrier.
Alternatively, it is possible that Patterson and Hannan will be advocating Irish reunification. After all it would be no more difficult to sell this to the DUP than to sell their Brexit to remainers.
Korhomme says
There are even fanatical Brexiters who say either that Ireland should leave the EU, or that Ireland should rejoin the UK. This, they say, would solve the border problem.
That such people, with such ideas, even exist today is incredible; the poverty of their understanding, and the selfishness of their theology is amazing.
"There are even fanatical Brexiters who say either that Ireland should leave the EU, or that Ireland should rejoin the UK." If a 'united Ireland', at the expense of the territorial integrity of the United Kingdom (please note), is a legitimate topic for political discussion, then why shouldn't either of these two ideas – particularly the first, be on the table for discussion too?
Chief says
Have you any understanding of why Ireland is not in the UK?
21st February 2018 at 09:15
Have you any understanding of why Northern Ireland is not in the Republic?
The ultimate logic of Hannan's position is English secession from the UK.
PJ says
As has been pointed out: even if Ireland did leave the EU it would still require a hard border with the UK unless it was part of a customs union. What are the chances of the Irish agreeing to outsource their trade policy to the UK, or vice versa? None, of course.
It wouldn't have to be part of a full EU-style customs union with common external tariffs, etc etc, though. It could just be a de facto customs union where both sides agree that they are fine with goods and services crossing the border.
Of course, there already is petrol smuggling across the UK / Eire border.


Malaysia's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, vowed to strengthen ties with the nation's "twin" as he officially called for a review of water sold to the republic at the 33rd ASEAN summit in Singapore.
In the veteran leader's first official visit to Singapore since he returned to power in May, Mahathir said he would work more closely with his Singaporean counterpart, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, to solve "controversial" issues such as the 1962 Water Agreement.
Under the longstanding agreement, which expires in 2061, Singapore is entitled to draw up to 250 million gallons of water daily from the Johor River, paying 3 sen ($0.0072) per 1,000 gallons. Singapore then treats the water and sells a portion back to Malaysia at 50 sen ($0.12) per 1,000 gallons.
The 93-year-old has routinely hit out at the agreement as being "too costly," "ridiculous," and "unfair," saying it no longer matched living standard costs in Malaysia.
"I think it is manifestly ridiculous that we should sell water at 3 sen per thousand gallons. That was okay way back in the 1990s or 1930s. But now what can you buy with 3 sen? Nothing," he told Channel NewsAsia in June.
But during his first bilateral talks with Lee, Mahathir was quick to highlight the close ties between Malaysia and Singapore, adding that they must work on improving relations despite their differences and competition.
Mahathir added that the two countries are "mutually dependent" on each other in many ways, such as trade and investment. Malaysia's second largest trading partner after China is Singapore, with trade between the pair representing 12.4 percent of its global trade last year.
"There is much at stake in this relationship between Singapore and Malaysia, and I'm glad to make this visit and help in discussions with Mr Lee on our relations and how to improve the relations," he continued.
Singapore has depended on Malaysia for almost half of its water needs through a series of agreements which go as far back as 1927.
Last month, Malaysia's deputy Foreign Minister Marzuki Yahya said Malaysia could review provisions of the agreement after 25 years and was entitled by law to review the cost of water.
But Singapore has always been firm in its view that Malaysia's right to renegotiate the cost of raw water supplied under the agreement was lost in 1987 when Malaysia turned down the opportunity of a price review.
Under the current arrangement, Singapore provides Johor, Malaysia, a subsidy of RM1.90 ($0.45) per 1,000 gallons of treated water, The Star reported.
Following the bilateral talks between the two leaders at the ASEAN summit, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) for Singapore said it is willing to further discuss Singapore's position on the agreement with Malaysia.
"Both sides expressed their differing views on the right to review the price of water under the 1962 Water Agreement," a spokesman for Singapore's MFA said in a statement on Nov. 12.
Mahathir later said officials from Malaysia and Singapore will soon meet to discuss the issue.
In August, Mahathir's scandal-ridden predecessor, Najib Razak, was charged with three counts of money-laundering breaches linked to state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). Malaysia's national debt currently stands at approximately $175 billion.
"It is likely that Singapore will negotiate as it is in the interest of having a good relationship with Malaysia. Singapore is hesitant, but they may agree to pay a slightly higher rate.
"But Singapore could come back with an alternative deal, which may not be as high as what Mahathir wants," Dr. Koran told The Epoch Times.
Mahathir's call for a review of the agreement comes amid a string of bumps in projects formerly agreed to under Najib's leadership.
In September, Mahathir announced the suspension of a long-awaited multibillion-dollar high-speed rail project that was to connect Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. The project, which was proposed to open to the public in 2026, has been pushed back to 2031.
Dr. Choong Chee Keong, a professor at the Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Faculty of Business & Finance, believes Singapore won't immediately accept a change to the agreement on Malaysia's terms and that Mahathir's push to renegotiate could have a short-term adverse effect on Malaysia-Singapore relations.
"I don't think Singapore will just accept the deal. If the leaders of these two countries don't manage the water deal well, I'm sure it will have a negative impact on their diplomatic relations," he said in an interview with The Epoch Times.
Meanwhile, Dr. Koran believes Mahathir's "cooperative" dialogue with Singapore during the summit—which he says is usually "critical"—is a sign Malaysia's attempts to renegotiate will not damage relations.

QPR shirts raise £5,472 for Poppy appeal
Paul Morrissey @PJMorrissey77
SIGNED QPR shirts have raised £5,472 for the UK's largest Armed Forces charity, The Royal British Legion, in this season's Sky Bet Poppy Shirt Auction.
Match-worn Poppy shirts from our 3-2 win over Brentford on 10th November were auctioned on the CharityStars website.
The shirts raised an average of £249 with Massimo Luongo's shirt raising the most, an impressive £710!
The money raised will be used by the Legion to support the vital welfare services it provides to the Armed Forces community, such as the Battle Back Centre in Lilleshall which helps wounded, injured and sick Service personnel to achieve their best possible recovery and either return to Service duty or to make a smooth transition to civilian life.
The Royal British Legion's Ben France said: "As the Centenary of the First World War comes to a close, The Royal British Legion is asking the nation to say 'Thank You' to the First World War generation, who served, sacrificed and changed our world forever.
"That's not just the British Armed Forces, but those who fought alongside from all corners of the world, and the men, women and children who played their part and suffered hardships at home.
"With the auction of the 2018 poppy shirts, we're hugely grateful for the continuing support of our partners Sky Bet and the clubs of the English Football League. Through the incredible generosity of the fans, we will ensure today's Armed Forces and their families receive the support they need, and their unique contribution is never forgotten"
The auction remains ongoing with signed, match-worn Poppy shirts from clubs throughout the EFL available in the coming weeks.

This collaborative research project seeks to demonstrate the manner in which Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) emerges to initiate outbreaks in Vietnam; specifically by focusing on the role of asymptomatic FMDV carrier buffalo and cattle. Specific objectives include: 1. Continuation of analysis of samples collected under research agreement 58-1940-0-070F "Molecular Epidemiology, Surveillance and Predictive Tools for FMD Control in Vietnam." 2. Conduct field sampling from carrier cattle and buffalo to test applicability as routine manner of FMDV surveillance in Vietnam. 3. Survey and analyze FMDV associated with outbreaks in Vietnam. 4. Conduct capacity building for Department of Animal Health (DAH) staff in virus sequencing and antigen matching. 5. Sequence viruses collected through surveillance program for phylogenetic analysis. 6. Collect slaughterhouse samples to evaluate utility as routine manner of FMDV surveillance in Vietnam.
1. Samples, inclusive of probang and tissue specimens from carrier buffalo and cattle, which have been collected and sent to ARS, PIADC, will be analyzed using rRT-PCR and virus isolation. Sequence analysis will be conducted to determine the phylogenetic relationships between outbreak FMDVs and those viruses that persist asymptomatically in cattle. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of tissues from FMDV-persistently infected buffalo will be conducted. Techniques will be developed for deep sequencing of FMDV for quasispecies analysis. 2. Geographic regions will be identified by Department of Animal Health (DAH) (Vietnam) collaborators. FMD-nonstructural protein (FMD-NSP) serosurveys will be conducted to identify high-probability herds for finding cariers. Serial probang samples will be conducted inclusive of screening probangs for FMDV and viral RNA (vRNA). Samples found positive will be sent to ARS, PIADC for further analysis. 3. Samples, inclusive of sera, vesicle epithelium and probang, will be collected from naturally occurring outbreak zones throughout Vietnam. These viruses will be isolated and undergo phylogenetic analysis. 4. DAH staff will be trained in antigen matching techniques and RNA sequencing. Cross-laboratory harmonization validation activities will also be conducted. ARS, PIADC staff will travel to Vietnam to provide follow-on necropsy training and laboratory skills. Monthly meetings and quarterly reports will strengthen capacity building efforts. 5. Probang samples found to contain FMDV RNA by DAH will be sequenced by ARS, PIADC and DAH. Data generated will provide geographic and temporal data, case history and animal demographics to determine quasispecies dynamics. 6. To determine FMDV persistence, probangs and tissue samples will be obtained from animals at Vietnamese slaughterhouses. These samples will be used as a surveillance tool for sequence analysis.

BILLION DOLLAR CLUB:
INDUSTRIAL CONGLOMERATES + INDUSTRIAL GOODS + CONSUMER GOODS CONGLOMERATES
Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) is one of the companies that made a clean sweep of all industry category awards up for grabs in the Billion Dollar Club. The company is one of the core members on the long list of government-owned companies that take up strategic positions across various economic sectors.
Over the three years under consideration, the company recorded a CAGR of shareholder returns of 3.3%, earnings growth of 4.9% and weighted ROE of 24.23%.
ST Engineering, which started decades ago producing bullets for the Singapore Armed Forces, has over the years expanded into various critical sectors ranging from aircraft maintenance to shipbuilding and electronics.
In FY2021, the company recorded a revenue of $7.7 billion, up 7.5% over FY2020, with contributions from across its various major segments. Earnings were up 9% y-o-y to $570.5 million, thanks to some one-off effect from government grants.

In 2021, while businesses were dealing with challenges brought about by the pandemic, ST Engineering, better known for steady organic growth, made its largest-ever deal with the US$2.7 billion acquisition of US-based transport management firm TransCore. According to ST Engineering, the deal, which was completed earlier this year, will help speed up its ambition to grow in the smart city and smart mobility markets.
"We will continue to search for growth opportunities and are constantly on the lookout to acquire good companies that are a strategic fit at a reasonable price. We are cognisant that M&As need to be strategic, synergistic and value-accretive," said chairman Kwa Chong Seng and CEO Vincent Chong in the company's FY2021 annual report.
With effect from the current FY2022, the company has put in place a new dividend policy. Instead of two half-yearly payouts for a total of 15 cents as it had for FY2021, ST Engineering says "recognising that returning value to shareholders is an important management objective", it will now pay out 4 cents per quarter for a total of 16 cents for FY2022.

In a sign of strong business momentum, ST Engineering won new contracts worth some $11.7 billion in FY2021, bringing its total order book to $19.3 billion. "We expect the delivery of our strong order book, our various business initiatives and further business recovery to position us well for 2022 business performance," the company notes.

Frencken tops sector for overall strong showing; Boustead, Grand Venture Tech and Micro-Mechanics share other wins

Manufacturer Grand Venture Technology, with the backing of three full years of earnings track record, has won a Centurion Club industry award for the first time. The company was listed in January 2019 and from the initial Catalist listing, it has upgraded to the mainboard as its business grew. Grand Venture topped the return to shareholders category, with a 59% CAGR over three years.
The company, after listing, has raised funds by issuing new shares to strategic investors. It has also sped up its growth trajectory by acquiring other companies with shares. In FY2021 ended December 2021, the company reported earnings of $17.6 million, up 236.6% y-o-y. Revenue was up 89.2% y-o-y to $116.3 million with "robust" demand across all business segments.
Boustead Singapore is one of the rare companies founded here with nearly two centuries of operating history and half a century of listing history that few can match. Led by chairman and group CEO Wong Fong Fui, the engineering and real estate firm was named the winner for growth in PAT in the industry sector, with a 64.5% CAGR over the three years. The company's earnings in recent years were boosted by a one-off gain of the Boustead Industrial Fund, which is part of the company's multi-year plan to improve returns.
According to Boustead Singapore, one recent bright spot is its geospatial division which has delivered steady performance continuously as demand for geospatial and smart mapping capabilities grows. In his chairman's message, Wong maintains that the sustained profitability of the company "did not happen simply by chance" but by its diversified business model, the structure of the company, underpinned by a strong balance sheet.
Micro-Mechanics (Holdings), meanwhile, was named the winner for best weighted ROE, scoring 27.5% over the three years. The company, which makes precision parts, enjoyed steady business growth in recent years from the upswing in the semiconductor cycle. Featuring a resilient business, Micro-Mechanics has proven to be a shareholder-friendly company with a consistent dividend payout that not all tech-heavy companies are.
The overall sector winner this year is none of these three category winners though. Instead, it has been awarded to manufacturer Frencken Group, given its overall showing. The company has enjoyed very good business from its clients in the semiconductor industry. Instead of focusing solely on this sector, Frencken has made it a point to diversify its earnings base and build up multiple earnings streams from customers across different industries.
"Our focused strategy of serving leading corporations in multiple industries, a wide range of end-user markets and different geographical regions ensures there is a high level of diversity in our business," says chairman Gooi Soon Chai in the company's FY2021 annual report. "This benefits the group by providing greater stability and resilience. In FY2021, we continued to make progress to further strengthen our business model by executing both organic and inorganic initiatives," he adds.

HOWELL — Last week, Lakewood Patrolman Christopher Matlosz asked his pal Stephen Gibson to be in his wedding party next year.
That was the day before the officer was shot to death.
Today, the day before Matlosz was to be buried, Gibson was helping plan the officer's funeral, writing and rewriting the eulogy he was to deliver.
"Everyone is still in shock," said Gibson, a civilian employee of the New Jersey State Police and a friend of Matlosz's for 12 years. "It's still sinking in. But today people are making preparations. They want to see Chris go out a hero."
A sea of blue flooded the funeral home where Matlosz's wake was held this afternoon, with hundreds of officers from departments across the state and beyond turning out to pay their respects.

As relatives of the slain officer were driven into the funeral home's parking lot, 100 white-gloved officers in crisp dress uniforms lined either side of the driveway. The officers snaked around into the lot, lining the exterior wall of the building and forming a symbolic circle around Matlosz's family and his fiancee in total silence.
"Whenever a police officer dies in an accident or from an illness, it's tragic enough," said John Zicha, an officer who served two years with Matlosz on the Howell Township First Aid Squad. "But when one is murdered like this, it's unfathomable. You can't believe it. How can someone have no conscience to walk up to someone and shoot them, especially a police officer?"
The suspect in Matlosz's killing, 19-year-old Jahmell Crockam of Lakewood, made his first court appearance Tuesday. He is charged with murder and weapons offenses and is being held on $5 million bail. His lawyer said Crockam plans to plead not guilty when he is arraigned in a few weeks.
Authorities say Matlosz was on patrol in a residential neighborhood Friday afternoon in an area that had been the scene of several drive-by shootings. He drove up alongside the suspect, who was on the sidewalk, and began chatting with him, police said.
• Wake for Lakewood Police Officer Christopher Matlosz in Howell expected to cause traffic delays
• Traffic delays expected around Lakewood during wake, funeral for officer Christopher Matlosz
• Mother of slain Lakewood police officer Christopher Matlosz clings to memories of her son, copes with loss
• Man accused in slaying of Lakewood police officer Christopher Matlosz appears in court
• Tips from the public led to suspect's arrest in slaying of Lakewood police officer
Suddenly, authorities say, the suspect pulled a gun out of his baggy clothing and shot Matlosz three times, mortally wounding him. Matlosz never had time to go for his own gun, which was still in its holster as the suspect ran away, police said.
Crockam was arrested Sunday in an apartment in Camden, about 60 miles from the shooting scene.
As hundreds filed into the funeral parlor, some of those closest to Matlosz had to delay their own mourning. There were still last-minute details to take care of: where each spray of flowers should go, whether a framed charcoal sketch of Matlosz should go to the right or left of a photo of his fiancee inside the funeral home (They chose right.), whether to include any slightly off-color stories in tributes to Matlosz that would be delivered the next day at his funeral. (Gibson decided against it.)
"We're just running around doing things, and we don't have time to grieve yet," Zicha said. "We want to make sure everything looks nice and everything goes perfect. Our time will happen after the funeral."
Security has been tight at events concerning the patrolman's death as authorities take seriously rumors that street gangs have threatened to attack police officers around the state in retaliation for Crockam's arrest. Authorities have refused to say whether Crockam was a gang member.
Hours before the wake began, khaki-clad snipers took up positions on the roof of a pool store next to the funeral parlor, setting up machine gun nests and scanning the area with binoculars, just as they had done the previous day at Crockam's court appearance, and the day before that at a public vigil for the officer.
Other officers, wearing helmets and body armor, toted machine guns as they patrolled the parking lot and guarded the entrances to the funeral parlor.
Jeff DeMatteo, a captain with the first aid squad and a friend of Matlosz's, said those who knew the slain officer were trying to remember him in the good times.
"I don't think it's sunk in yet," he said. "It's so depressing. He was the best guy you could ever meet. If you missed him, you missed out. He touched a lot of people."

The deadline for complying with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements is nearing fast. Your organization needs to urgently "assess" the status of your internal control systems for financial reporting and the internal control structure for all business processes that generate information that will end up in the financial statements. This is typically phase one of the overall effort. Furthermore, the SEC has intimated that a sound and acceptable framework for internal control must be employed by your organization. They also indicate that the COSO internal control framework would be acceptable.
b) The internal controls under the COSO framework are adequately being addressed.
We can assist your team in this critical assessment process that will help you elucidate what needs to be done to be compliant with sections 302 and 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley.
In order to effectively accomplish this crucial task, your organization no doubt also needs a practical risk assessment and risk prioritization methodology to accomplish the analysis phase. Applying this risk assessment methodology will highlight those areas of high exposure that should receive the "highest" level of internal control attention.
MASP has such a methodology. We have successfully used this methodology in consulting and training assignments for decades worldwide.
We have trained hundreds of risk management professionals and regular employees on how to conduct these risk assessments in a very short time period. The methodology is so practical and simple that it can be taught to people with all educational levels and without any previous experience in risk assessment in a matter of hours via hands-on workshops using their real-life situations.
We can assist and supplement your internal Sarbanes-Oxley compliance team.
We can also assist you in preparing a detailed compliance plan of action using a top-down strategy. This strategy considers your organization's mission statement objectives with an enterprise-wide vision as opposed to a narrow information technologies view of the problem.
We also collaborate with CPA firms and consulting firms to complement their expertise and internal resources that may be overcommited to clients.

CES 2010: LG unveils Infinia LED, wireless HD-ready, Skype and 3D TVs | What Hi-Fi?
But there were plenty more surprises in store. At the heart of LG's 2010 TV line-up is the new Infinia range with Full LED backlighting, NetCast web connectivity on two thirds of its TV range, wireless HD video transmission (using a plug-in dongle) and, like Panasonic, the ability to make Skype voice and video calls on some models.
The slim Infinia design (just 23mm deep) includes four LCD and two plasma Fulll HD models: LE9500, LE8500, LE7500 and LE5500 in the LCD line-up, and PK950 and PK550 for the plasmas.
LG says the flagship Infinia models will also be 3D-Ready and will work with Sky's 3D TV service.
But the real star of the show is LG's Ultra-Slim model (pictured) which is a mere 6.9mm deep.
Other surprises included an 'eco' Chocolat smartphone with a solar charging panel on the back, a smartphone with built-in projector, and what LG claims is currently the world's largest commercial OLED TV with a 15in screen.
Wireless HD connectivity is a big theme here at CES, and LG's solution is to offer a wireless dongle that can transmit Full HD video at a range of up to 30m.
Not only its Infinia TVs but also its 2010 Blu-ray players will be network enabled for access to LG's NetCast portal, which includes widgets for Netflix, Yahoo, YouTube, Skype, Picasa and AccuWeather.

Additive manufacturing is more and more used in the automotive industry. This 3D technology is useful on many levels, from the prototyping process to the production of car parts. Even if we are still waiting to see a fully 3D printed car on the road, we can now say that the automotive industry is really getting closer to this project.
From classic vehicles to customized cars, a lot of new projects can now be produced using 3D printing. Bugatti, the French automotive manufacturer, actually included some 3D printed car parts to its new car, the Divo Supercar. We will tell you everything about this new project developed by the luxury car maker in this blog post!
Additive manufacturing can be really useful in the automotive industry. Indeed, it is the perfect way to create prototypes, to work on car design or manufacture functional car parts.
The 3D printing technology is really becoming a great help for the automotive industry. Indeed, it helps the product development but it is also a great way to save money on different levels in this sector. You now know that it is possible to 3D print car parts, but 3D printing can also be helpful for the manufacturing process by itself.
For example, Volkswagen Autoeuropa, the car manufacturer, is using 3D printing to manufacture some of its tools. The company estimates that thanks to their use of additive manufacturing, they saved 250,000€ in 2017. This technology can clearly help to reduce the tooling investment of car manufacturers.
3D printing is also a new way for car manufacturers to develop brand new projects. For example, we recently talked about the promising 3D printed tires created by Michelin, a new innovation allowing to avoid some traditional tire problems, like low pressure, blowouts, and diverse safety problems. Additive manufacturing is offering new interesting possibilities in terms of car equipment thanks to new 3D printers and materials.
As you can see, this cutting-edge technology can be used for various applications in the automotive sector. 3D modeling software and 3D technology are allowing to work on any design, to rapidly prototype or to create a final product. If you have an automotive project and need software to begin and start your 3D design, here is our selection of the best CAD software for the automotive industry.
3D printing also means more freedom, especially when it comes to the design of the car parts. It is perfect to modify the design, easily allowing mass customization for example. It is the best method to work on the structure of the parts and improve them. For example, it is possible to use this manufacturing method to reduce weight of the parts or to reduce the material loss, as you only use the amount of material that is needed for the project. Plus, lighter products and less material used also means a lower budget to manufacture your parts.
If Bugatti used the additive manufacturing technology for the creation of this car, it is precisely because they wanted to reduce the weight of their parts. They 3D printed fin rear lights for this vehicle, making them lighter than the previous Chinon model. Reducing the total weight of the car parts and of the whole car can totally improve its performance.
Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann states that this new Divo Supercar really has higher performance in terms of acceleration and agility. It is even more aerodynamic than the previous model, and really faster. We can also say that these parts are really matching the global aesthetic of the car, and of the whole brand.
Additive manufacturing is also a great manufacturing method for small production runs. Bugatti only needed this part for 40 cars and in these cars, 3D printing appears to be a perfect solution, allowing to print several parts for an advantageous price.
It is not the first time that Bugatti includes 3D printing in the manufacturing process of one of their cars. Indeed, the manufacturer, developed 3D printed brake calliper for Bugatti Chiron, their previous model.
As their first use of 3D printing was quite promising, we can assume that more and more car manufacturers are now willing to use this technology, and that they will also begin to use it to print small but also bigger parts. Additive manufacturing is particularly efficient in this sector, enabling the improvement of car structures.
Car manufacturers are starting to really make the most of 3D printing, to build classic cars or more extraordinary projects like this Divo Supercar. 3D printers are now allowing to create qualitative parts and to build project even more easily and wit a lower budget than with technologies such as injection molding.
If you want to start an automotive project using this technology, don't hesitate to upload your 3D file on our online 3D printing service or, if you have any question, contact our sales team.

Sony Playstation 4 To Cost $399, Undercut Xbox One By $100
The Sony Playstation 4 helped kick off E3 2013 when Sony announced that the gaming console will cost just $399. Based on that pricing, the gaming console will undercut the Xbox One by a full $100.
The PS4 will be released in time for the 2013 holiday shopping season and will be available with more than 140 games hitting the open market within the first year of release.
During its E3 press conference, Sony revealed the $399.99 US pricing alongside £349.99 pricing in the UK.
In comparison, the Xbox One will run $499.99 in the US and £429.99 in the UK.
After announcing the pricing for the PlayStation 4, reps at the tech firm debuted a live PS4 experience via Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The demonstration was met with some technical lag problems, but ultimately the game showed off its content and features.
Sony should gain some traction thanks to the features it DOESN'T have, specifically a strong "always-on" presence and a system that requires rules and regulations just to borrow a game from a buddy or purchased a used game at Gamestop.
Game titles have already started to reveal themselves during E3, and we expect to see many more titles make their way into the discussion as the week continues.
Here is the Sony Playstation 4 big pricing reveal:
http://youtu.be/PkMJpMk62DU
The gaming wars are about to heat up, and, while Sony appears to have the advantage thanks to the openness of its system, Microsoft most definitely will have many tricks up its sleeve as the holiday shopping season approached.
Will you be purchased the Sony PlayStation 4 or the Xbox One?
