Union Chief Weighs In On Rhee's Comments

By Bill Turque
The president of the American Federation of Teachers said yesterday that a recent op-ed article written by D.C. Schools Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee represented "an apology" to instructors and reflected a conciliatory tone that she has recently struck in contract negotiations.
Federation President Randi Weingarten, who heads the 1.4 million-member parent organization of the Washington Teachers' Union, spoke yesterday to Washington Post editors and reporters about the labor talks, which began 15 months ago. The talks have stalled over union opposition to the chancellor's proposals to dilute tenure protection and link individual teacher pay and job security to improved student achievement.
The bargaining has been closely watched by educators and policymakers as a potentially precedent-setting confrontation between the politically influential teachers union and Rhee, who in the past has questioned the union's commitment to improving public education.
Yesterday, a spokeswoman for Rhee said her Post article "was not an apology but a clarification" offering a fuller view of the chancellor's opinion.
Weingarten said she had "a constructive meeting" with Rhee on Friday but would not discuss the details. She said that the chancellor's general approach to teachers has changed markedly since October, when she announced that she would exercise her power to place underperforming instructors on intervention plans that could result in dismissal if their work does not improve. A month later, Rhee also unveiled a five-year plan that called the overall quality of the District's teaching corps "unacceptably low." It said that while some teachers might improve with help, the school system would "identify and transition out a significant share" of instructors over the next two years.
"I think we've gotten mixed signals," Weingarten said. "But the more recent signals have been more conciliatory."
Weingarten cited Rhee's Feb. 9 op-ed piece in The Post, in which Rhee said that while she was saddened and outraged by the District's poor academic performance, she did not blame teachers.
"I have talked to too many teachers to believe this is their fault," wrote Rhee, who said she will soon submit a revised contract offer to the union. "I know they are working furiously in a system that for many years has not appreciated them."
Weingarten said Rhee was clearly reaching out to teachers. "The letter in the paper the other day was an apology, basically," Weingarten said.
Dena Iverson, Rhee's spokeswoman, said of the article, "The chancellor took the chance to communicate her thoughts on teachers in full, which had previously only been reported partially. Her position has not changed."
Weingarten's remarks come as the union organizations campaign to establish the contract proposal, submitted to the District on Jan. 31, as a progressive document that promotes the interests of schoolchildren. The initiative includes radio spots promoting the plan as "groundbreaking."
Union officials said they intended the plan as a message to Rhee that they are serious about collaborating to improve District schools. WTU President George Parker said in a recent interview that a confidentiality agreement with the District prohibited him from discussing the proposal in detail. But he did offer general descriptions of the package.
Parker said the union remains opposed to Rhee's plan for a two-tier salary system in which the largest pay increases and performance bonuses go to teachers who agree to relinquish tenure for a year, exposing them to dismissal at will by the District. He said the union was prepared to support individual merit raises for teachers, but only if Rhee is willing to work with the union on developing a fair evaluation system.
The union has proposed creation of an "improvement zone" of low-performing schools, where student achievement would be raised by reducing class sizes, focusing intensively on language and literacy, and granting an unusual level of autonomy to teachers and administrators.
The concept has been pursued, with varying degrees of success, in Miami, New York and Chicago, where Education Secretary Arne Duncan, then school system chief executive, worked with the teachers union to form "Fresh Start" schools. Parker said the union was ready to work with Rhee to help launch the effort.
"We're willing to be flexible to turn around low-performing schools," Parker said. "There are a number of blueprints for how to turn around urban school districts. We've got to try some new stuff."
The union is also seeking a commitment from the District for a minimum level of supplies and equipment in each classroom. Too often, Parker said, teachers in low-income neighborhoods are forced to scramble for basic instructional tools.

GoKunming Articles
Mickelson to establish golf academy in Kunming
By Chris Horton in News on November 9, 2009
American golfer Phil Mickelson announced this weekend that he will build a par-3 course for children with a golf academy in Kunming to promote the sport at the grassroots level, according to an AFP report.
Speaking on the sidelines of the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai this weekend, Mickelson, the current number two golfer in the world, said that his goal was to build a base for golf in China among the country's youth.
The sport of golf, which is suffering elsewhere in the world due to the global economic downturn and other factors, has high hopes for China, one of the few places in the world where courses are still being built.
The course and academy in Kunming and the upcoming The World Course in Tianjin, which is inspired by great holes from around the world, will be Mickelson's first golf projects outside of the United States.
"This is a tremendous opportunity to help develop the game in the largest emerging market in the world," he told reporters in Shanghai.
For Kunming, Mickelson's announcement strengthens the city's status as China's golf city. In last year's rankings of China's best golf courses by Golf Digest magazine, three of the top six courses in the country were located in Kunming. Both of the top two courses were located at Spring City Golf & Lake Resort, whose lake course edged out its mountain course for top honors.
Getting more than just children from wealthy families in Kunming to embrace golf will be a challenge, as no public courses exist and green fees at clubs such as Spring City and Lakeview Golf are more than US$100 for one round of golf.
Former Spring City general manager Arthur Yeo recently told ESPN that golf still has a long way to go before it achieves widespread acceptance from Chinese society – and the government.
"It is still an elitist sport, and for over 25 years it has been discouraged," said Yeo. "Right now, the government doesn't know how to respond because they still have to worry about the general public. Their power base is the general public."

Interesting. I didn't know that Kunming was the capital of the world. I would love to be a part of this program, with setting up an online learning feature to the program to helping bridge the limited resource gap between the China and US facility, etc.

Please anybody tell me how can i modify it to get Test result with font color as red and green...

A: Make use of WritableFont.setColour(Colour colour) when formatting the cell you're writing to. See this tutorial for the basics. The API should be sufficient to know how to add a colour to the formatting examples available.

REX3 F-GE, the Stage V specialist
The Rex3 F-GE Series is the range of specialised tractors for vineyards and orchards now powered by Stage V. It features innovative technological solutions and a hood with a new look, a restyling that made the specialised Landini a candidate for the prestigious Tractor of the Year 2021 award in the "Best of Specialised" category. The winning features of the new Rex3 F-GE Series are its compact dimensions: wheelbase 1,950 mm; minimum ground clearance 213 mm; external width from 1,350 mm to 1,617 mm; minimum height of the steering wheel from the ground on the platform version 1,256 mm and weight without ballast 2,200 kg, making it the ideal range for use in vineyards/orchards, greenhouses and for vegetables.
Handling, versatility and ease of use
Mechanical with standard creeper
The Rex3 F-GE was designed to be easy to handle and use. But what makes the Series truly stand out is its versatility. In fact, the range can be used for a wide array of operations with all kinds of accessories, even front-mounted, thanks to the possibility of equipping the machine with a front lift with a maximum capacity of 1,000 kg. The geometry of the under-cab frame is specifically designed for ventral installation. Applications: Orchards: The REX3 F-GE was created for specialised crops starting from orchards, where it moves with agility among the rows with a span of 2.2 to 2.5 metres. Vineyards: The Rex3 F-GE is suited for all operations in traditional vineyards, and the Low-Profile cab version can even be used in vineyards with pergola and trellis systems. Vegetables: Handling is one of the main features of the Rex3 F-GE, adapting to all specialised crops where manoeuvrability is limited. At the same time, the Low-Profile cab version can also be used in greenhouses. Farms: The Rex3 F-GE is an extremely reliable and versatile tractor that is also suited for everyday farm applications with power demands from 55 to 75 hp and for road travel, where it offers excellent driving comfort.
Available in a platform version, with low-profile cab and standard cab
One of the advantages of the Rex3 F-GE is the possibility of installing a Low-Profile cab that has a monocoque structure, 1.16 m wide at the base that drops to 0.86 m at the roof, with an overall height from the ground of at least 1.87 m. Best in Class in the category of conventional tractors, this version of the cab guarantees maximum respect for foliage in crops with a low crown, while maintaining a high level of comfort for the operator. This last factor becomes evident when looking at the wide door opening for easier accessibility to the cab, the tilting steering wheel, the multifunction dashboard, the absence of levers on the central tunnel, the air conditioning circuit and the optional rear camera. Finally, the Low-Profile cab offers maximum visibility in all directions, even for lateral operations, working on slopes and in the greenhouse, maximising the possibilities of use for this range of tractors.
Landini knows that more comfort means more productivity. For this reason, the company has designed and developed the Standard cab, a driving and working environment with automotive-style interior that allows the driver to ride in comfort whatever the season. The four-post design and the rear-hinged doors provide ease of access to the driving position and offer unequalled all-round visibility. Inside the Standard cab everything is comfortably arranged and within easy reach: the driving position is fully adjustable, the steering column can be tilted to suit the driver's needs, all control levers and pedals are ergonomically positioned for maximum ease of operation and the digital instrument panel keeps the operator constantly informed on the tractor performance. All this within a space of only 1.1 m width. Thanks to these features, the Standard cab improves driving safety, reduces fatigue and allows greater concentration on the job in hand, thereby making for increased productivity.
Kohler engine
The Rex3 F-GE line-up includes two models with the new 4-cylinder, 16-valve, 2.5-litre Kohler engines with 68 and 75 hp, with torque reserves of 45% and 32% respectively. Maintaining the considerable compactness of Kohler systems, the new engines are equipped with DOC systems without regeneration, therefore without affecting the productivity and efficiency of the machine in any way. Engine RPM management is provided by the Engine Memo Switch that allows you to store and quickly recall settings when passing from one activity to another. Full operational autonomy throughout the day is ensured by the 50-litre diesel tank.

It Was Once Used to Kill, but Now It's a Flowerpot
Armin Durgut
Kenan Hidić
In Sarajevo's Baščaršija (Old Town), some craft shops offer tourists unusual souvenirs – items from the war that could have served as reminders of a bloody and turbulent past in Bosnia and Herzegovina but have instead been transformed into something beautiful.
Photos and text: Armin Durgut
Kenan Hidić collected fragments of weapons and bullets from the war and has turned them into a successful and profitable business venture. He transforms bullet casings into ballpoint pens and empty grenades and anti-aircraft shells into objects for everyday use.
At the end of the war in the mid-1990s, many areas were riddled with thousands of scattered rockets, grenades, and shell casings. Those were the sad reminders of the war that was fought in this country until Kenan Hidić and a few other souvenir shop owners began collecting them and turning them into decorative items that people would be willing to buy.
Through art, Hidić turns dark memories of war into something valuable and beautiful.
"So I work with these leftover shells from the war and I decorate them like this. I put some patterns, some flowers inside, and when it's done, it becomes a flowerpot. You know, it was once used to kill, but now it's a flowerpot. Something beautiful has been made from something horrible. If only God had made a world without war… But since the remnants exist, it's better to use them in some nice, positive way," says Kenan.
Armin, a Balkan Diskurs-trained youth correspondent, was named as a finalist for the 2017 Balkan Photo Award.
This publication has been selected as part of the 2018 Srđan Aleksić Youth Competition, a regional storytelling competition that challenges youth to actively engage with their own communities to discover, document, and share stories of moral courage, interethnic cooperation, and positive social change. The competition is a primary component of the Post-Conflict Research Center's award-winning Ordinary Heroes Peacebuilding Program, which utilizes international stories of rescuer behavior and moral courage to promote interethnic understanding and peace among the citizens of the Western Balkans. The final winners of the 2018 competition will be announced in the coming months.
Support for this program has been graciously provided by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

Q: Invalid class name - Haxe in MonoDevelop on OSX I'm trying to compile a simple hello world Haxe example in MonoDevelop on osx.
class Test {
    static function main() {
        trace("Hello World !");
    }
}

When I try to build, I'm getting the error: "Invalid class name Test".
I've tried renaming the class in both the hx and hxml files to something else but get the same error but now with the new class name.
Any ideas?

A: Ok, I figure it out. It was because the .hx file was utf-8 encoded and needed to be ansi (windows) encoded.
You can fix the problem by running the following from a terminal (navigate to the directory containing your file first!).
sudo iconv -f UTF-8 -t WINDOWS-1253 test.hx > test.hx

Q: MICROPYTHON/ESP8266 Как отправить данные на локальный хост через wi-fi? У меня есть датчик dht11 и модуль esp8266. Мне нужно взять данные температуры и влажности и отправить на localhost. То есть я подключаюсь к wi-fi и отправляю с датчика запрос в локальный хост wi-fi, на путь 192.168.1.8/index.py?temperature=*температура*&wet=*влажность*. Там у меня файл который добавляет данные в базу данных
У меня есть реализация на C++, но я хочу переписать на micropython. Но я ни где не могу найти информацию как сформировать код отправки данных на локальный wi-fi! Я долго искал и ничего не нашел. К сожалению и в официальной документации micropython не указано как отправить запрос.
Прошу дать место где я могу найти как сформировать запрос отправки на локаный хост сервера. Либо указать сам способ

Copies of previous publications are available for purchase at the Online Shop.


Such a lot has happened in the ten days since I launched What Are You Doing Here? I thought the learning curve would flatten and the workload slow down after I'd launched the book. Not so.
I expected marketing to take up lots of my time, and it has. I've arranged talks to community groups and recorded my first radio interview and started sending copies out for review. What took me by surprise was how much time and effort is involved in distribution. I was dimly aware that this could be time consuming, but I underestimated just how much is involved in processing orders, preparing invoices, packaging books and running down to the Post Office.
Initially I decided not to try to get a distributor, partly because I didn't think I could afford to and partly because I wasn't sure that a distributor would be interested in a self-published book.
I sent a copy of the book to a buyer at a large bookseller and almost forgot about it because I expected that even if they liked the book, they would not want to deal with a self-publisher. It turns out they did like the book but would be interested in taking it only if I had a distributor. How long did it take me to arrange a distributor? Slightly over 24 hours. A few days later I delivered a load of books to the distributor.
What's so great about a distributor?
Far fewer boxes of books in the spare room. I know that just because the boxes are gone doesn't mean the books are sold, but I kept my print run small, so I was never going to be left with a ridiculously embarrassing number of unsold books. Still, it was daunting seeing the boxes.
No more messing with paper, parcel tape and bubble wrap and no more hanging around in queues in the Post Office.
Simplified business procedures because the distributor will deal with the bookshops.
I can get back to writing.

I love going to book launches. I've been to a few over the last few years—mostly local authors—but on Sunday it was my turn when I launched What Are You Doing Here? Reflections on Dementia. As a self-published author, this was very much a do-it-yourself affair—a morning of making sandwiches and savouries and chilling the wine, followed by a relaxed gathering on a perfect spring day.
One of the nicest things about the day was that some of the people I interviewed for the book were able to attend. They have all been involved in caring for people with dementia, and were unstinting in their time and willingness to talk to me when I was researching the book. It was a pleasure to see them again, especially as September is World Alzheimer's Month and the theme is 'A Journey of Care'.
I made a healthy number of sales and was delighted when the next day I made almost as many sales again. It's starting to feel as if I'm gaining a bit of momentum.

In my last post, I complained about my Kindle breaking down and said I didn't think it was worth replacing and that from now on I was going back to paper books. I would have been quite happy to do so, but my technical advisor (husband) doesn't like to be beaten by any piece of electronic equipment. He spent half an hour on Skype talking to a very polite, very efficient customer service person at Amazon, who concluded that my Kindle was indeed broken. She then offered several options to replace it with a reconditioned model with a full warranty at a discounted price. We decided to opt for a cheap, no frills model at a far lower price than we would pay retail for a replacement. She even offered free delivery, until she realised that New Zealand is a very long way from the United States (in fact, it's a long way from everywhere).
My new Kindle arrived a few days later. Sadly, it doesn't fit in the nice red cover I had for my old Kindle, but I now have access to the ebooks I bought in the past. This episode has made me think carefully about what I read in ebook format and what I read in print. I'll keep my Kindle for lightweight reading and reading when I'm on the move.
We asked about the expected lifespan of a Kindle, and the helpful customer service person said at least four years. It didn't seem long to me, and I suppose we were unlucky that my device didn't even last that long. But then, I don't expect other electronic equipment such as my laptop to last indefinitely, although I usually manage more than four years.
It made me think, though. To me, one of the advantages of print books is that you can put them on a shelf and they will still be there years later waiting to be read without the aid of any device, except perhaps, reading glasses. It seems that with ebooks, you have to be much more active in managing the hardware needed to access your book collection. What's going to happen when large numbers of Kindles reach the end of their useful lives? Will people replace them or use tablets instead? Will today's ebooks still be accessible in a decade's time? Anyone else remember floppy disks?

PROVINCETOWN BANNER
Producer Ryan Murphy's company seeks permit to film in Provincetown
Ethan Genter
Cape Cod Times
PROVINCETOWN — Producer Ryan Murphy's company is looking to film on the Cape's tip early next year for what appears to be the 10th season of American Horror Story.
The town received an application for a film permit from 20th Century Fox to film "Pilgrim," a Ryan Murphy production, in February or March, according to Provincetown Tourism Director Anthony Fuccillo.
"Once more details and information from (20th Century Fox) is received in January, the Town will consider proceeding with the permitting," he said.
Murphy, one of the showrunners of the long-running FX show, has been tagging Provincetown in Instagram posts promoting the 10th season. Past promos have shown a set of hands clinging to the top of a dune, a pointed set of teeth and snow fence set up on a beach. A cast announcement was also set to a gloomy beach scene.
The production company had previously planned to shoot in town in March and April, but was shut down by the coronavirus.

Good article, it's worth noting that Bird is working with the international cities before they launch. Instead just showing up on the street so one day like in many US cities.

Thanks for the update. Saint Louis, MO added back to the list.


It was a big night on cable Sunday with debuts, cliffhangers and the penultimate episode of the penultimate season of Game Of Thrones, but some of the Big 4 were on the field too. NFL preseason preemptions peppered the programming schedule and could result in some adjustments, but once again the overall win went to CBS.
The House of Moonves scored a 0.9/4 rating and 4.90 million viewers Sunday in great part due to a healthy Big Brother (1.8/7). With potential romance or something like that wafting through the house, the Julie Chen-hosted veteran reality series was down a tenth from the final numbers of August 13. However, it is also up 12% in the key demo from last week's fast affiliates to again finish as Sunday's top-rated show. Big Brother was the second most watched show of the night, after the 7.76 million pulled in by 60 Minutes (0.8/4).
Fox had the last bit of the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship (0.3/1) bleeding into Sunday's prime and ending at 7:30 PM, but otherwise the net was all encores. The CW was also all repeats Sunday.
ABC's Steve Harvey's Funderdome (0.8/3) and The $100,000 Pyramid (0.7/3) were the same as last week, as was CBS' Candy Crush (0.5/2).
A win by Regan Smith on Sunday also saw a win for NBC with the P & G Championship: Women's Events (0.6/3). The U.S. gymnastics gathering was up 20% from the last comparable time the net had the event on a Saturday (August 15, 2015). Viewershipwise, last night's competition was up 25% from just over two years ago.
And remember, don't look at the sun today during the Solar Eclipse.

Talk of impeachment now on hold in Richmond
Calls for impeachment put on hold
Chaos at the Capitol
Posted: Mon 9:49 PM, Feb 11, 2019 |
Updated: Mon 10:27 PM, Feb 11, 2019
RICHMOND, Va. (WDBJ7) Talk of impeaching Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax is now on hold at the State Capitol.
A northern Virginia delegate who was planning to file articles of impeachment Monday, now says he will wait.
Delegate Patrick Hope is still calling for the Lieutenant Governor to resign, but after talking with other Democrats over the weekend he said it became clear that they needed more time to find the best process with the most support.
Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax found a crowd of photographers when he arrived at the State Capitol Monday morning, and no shortage of questions about the possibility of impeachment.
He made a brief statement repeating that he's called for an independent investigation.
"And I am still very confident in the truth," Fairfax told reporters. "Thank you all very much."
In a written statement, Hope (D-Arlington) said he's open to discussing other avenues that accomplish the same goals as the impeachment process.
"We must allow the victims to be heard in the most fair and just process possible," Hope wrote. "Any process must be open and transparent to the public."
The Republican Speaker of the House Kirk Cox appeared to agree.
"Well, we're in a very volatile situation right now," Cox said Monday morning. "I think we just need to be very thoughtful, complete our work. Impeachment is unprecedented, so just approaching that needs to be very deliberate and thoughtful."
Meanwhile, a group of African American leaders called a news conference on the steps of the State Capitol to support Governor Ralph Northam.
John Boyd is President of the National Black Farmers Association.
"I believe today that we need to give the Governor a second chance," Boyd said. "I believe that he is the right person to guide Virginia and bring us through this troubling time in history."

Considering Spending Money on Silver Dollars? Read On To Find The Relevant Facts!
Have a few silver dollars? Want to buy old silver dollars? Should you consider them as investments? The value of silver dollars is a little higher than the spot value of silver, and that's something every investor should know. The value of a silver dollar depends on a number of factors, and it is important that you consider these factors before spending your hard-earned money.
At the core, the rarity of a silver dollar largely determines its worth. The date of the coin is one of the big factors for knowing the final price you can pay, but just because a silver dollar is doesn't add to its rarity, which is another thing you must consider. A very known and popular example is the price difference between silver dollars of 1948 and 1949. The 1948 silver dollar is much more worthy because it is rare and unique to say the least. The condition of the silver dollar is one of the other things that add to the value or at least gives an indication of what you should pay for the concerned silver dollar. Better the condition of the silver dollar, the higher price it will fetch. History of the silver dollar is another factor that adds to the price. A coin that's never been in circulation, has been preserved well, and has a legit history should be your ideal investment, although the price paid can be huge.
The appreciation of any silver dollar depends on the numismatic, as well as the intrinsic, value of the coin. Typically, the values fluctuate, often in sync with the spot price of silver. The worth of the metal is also an important factor, especially for investors, while a lot of collectors are more interested in the numismatic worth. The numismatic value adds to the appreciation of the coin, depending on whether it's rare and in good condition. Nevertheless, the value of a silver dollar should increase with time, keeping other factors constant. If you want to buy one of the collector items, make sure to check the price and make a deal when the price is fair and consistent as expected. Of course, what you pay will be based on what the seller wants or values his investment at.
Check online now to find the best dealers for silver dollars, and don't forget to check the history of the coin in detail.

October 8th, David Collingham, our club trustee, was able to spend the day with both our fourth grade classroom students and our 4th and 5th graders who meet after school. It was an amazing fun filled day of getting to know each other and making contacts with our new Strike Force beam antenna.
After introductions and a quick review of proper calling techniques, David fired up the radio and the fun began. Students lined up anxious to have a turn at the mic. They sat down with a partner. While one student attempted making contact, the other waited and listened carefully, in anticipation of hearing a call sign emerge from the speakers, so they could write it in the call log. After a handful of students called "CQ", the responses finally began to happen!
The contacts just started rolling in, one right after the other! 60 contacts to be exact! They were from as far east as New Jersey and as far west as Japan. We were also lucky enough to hear a conversation that was taking place in South Africa. For those students that were new this year, it was just exciting overall to make contacts. But for the students who were returning from last year, the excitment was double! They could hear how clear our contacts now were, since using our new beam antenna that was donated by Bob Grimmick. A big thank you to Bob for his donation and another thank you to David Collingham for a magical day on the air!
Pictures illustrate how much fun making contact can be!
Student list contacts on the board for all to see. Students use QRZ.com to look up call signs and see who they are talking to.

Newfoundland Power Inc. is an electric utility owned by Fortis Inc. which is the primary retailer of electric power in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. The company was formed by the Royal Securities Corporation of Montreal in 1924 as the Newfoundland Light & Power Company.

In the year of its incorporation it purchased the assets of the St. John's Light and Power Company which had been formed originally by Robert Gillespie Reid as the St. John's Street Railway Company in 1896.  Those assets included Newfoundland and Labrador's first hydro electric generating station at Petty Harbour, Petty Harbour Hydro Electric Generating Station.

After 1924 Newfoundland Light & Power Company became a subsidiary of the International Power Company, and it remained a subsidiary until 1949, when the parent company sold its shares in it to the general public.

The Newfoundland Light & Power Company supplied the general needs of the St. John's urban area and operated the city's electrical street car system. In 1948 the street railway was disbanded and the company became solely an electric company.

Newfoundland Power operates 23 hydro generating plants, three diesel plants and three gas turbine facilities for a total installed capacity of 139.4 MW.

Historical highlights
 1926 the company increased the generating capacity of the Petty Harbour Generating Station
 1931 completed a 3 MW hydro electric generating station at Pierre's Brook
 1931 laid two 13 kW cables across the Bell Island tickle in Conception Bay to supply the iron ore mines on Bell Island
 1951 purchased from Bowater's Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Mills and Bay of Islands Light and Power Company the distribution systems in Corner Brook and Deer Lake.
 1956 obtained from the Anglo Newfoundland Development Company the distribution system in Grand Falls, Windsor, Bishops Falls and Botwood.
 1958 completed a 12.5 MW hydro electric generating station at Rattling Brook.
 1958 obtained from the Department of Transport the distribution system in Gander.
 1962 converted the Grand Falls, Windsor, Bishop's Falls and Botwood distribution systems from 50 cycles (50 Hz voltage signal) to the North American standard of 60 cycles.
 1966 Union Electric Light and Power Company became part of the Newfoundland Light and Power Company.
 1966 the company had eleven generating plants with an installed capacity of 95 MW.
 1970 the company sold over the one billion kW·h (1 TW·h).
 1981 the company had twenty-one hydro stations, three gas turbines, seven diesel generating plants and one thermal power station for a total installed capacity of 241 MW.
 1987 shareholders of Newfoundland Light & Power Co. form Fortis Inc. as a holding company with 100% ownership of the regulated electrical utility.
 1990 Newfoundland Light & Power Co. changes its corporate name to Newfoundland Power.
 1998 the company changed its legal name from Newfoundland Light & Power Co. to Newfoundland Power Inc.

Martin Shkreli's rare Wu-Tang Clan album, and more, could soon be auctioned off
REVOLT TV
// Mar 16, 2018
FactMag
REVOLT TVMar 16, 2018
Martin Shkreli, the disgrac... okay, by now you know who the former pharmaceutical boss is and the fact that he was sentenced to seven years in prison last week. In addition, you may also be aware of Ghostface Killah and Raekwon's kind words for the guy. But now it looks as though the very thing that kept Shkreli afloat in conversations could soon end up in the hands of the public soon.
Now that he is set for a seven-year sentence, Shkreli is expected to pay back more than $7.3 million in a brokerage account and personal assets, which includes the rare Wu-Tang Clan album Once Upon a Time in Shaolin and Lil Wayne's Tha Carter V, which he claims was discovered in a used car.
According to the Associated Press, the government may end up auctioning off the albums. As per the forfeiture, Shkreli has up until Thursday to confirm whether or not he still has the said albums, or proceeds from sales. Until then, he "shall not, directly or indirectly, transfer, assign, license, waste, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, distribute, dissipate, dilute or remove" it from the court's jurisdiction.
Along with the albums, the government has also listed a Picasso painting as a substitute personal asset. Back in September, Shkreli put up the Wu-Tang album on eBay. However, it is unknown if he actually sold the release.

« Sathya Sai Baba's unforgiving talk of forgiveness
Sai Baba says he is only what anyone imagines him to be! »
Gerald Moreno's wildest attack so far?
Posted by robertpriddy on September 26, 2009
For several years, Moreno wrote a mass of untruths and attacks about dozens of those who left Sathya Sai Baba because of the sex revelations. His main target at first was Sanjay Dadlani about whom he wrote the most disgusting things, sexual allegations of all kinds – not least naming him a proved pervert – and made very disgusting pictures using Dadlani's face on a naked overweight woman and as a pig etc. He put up many defamatory web pages and several blogs entries attacking Dadlani. The distorted images Moreno made can be seen here (Equalizer is none other than Gerald Moreno, as he eventually had to admit). including entering Dadlani's name and false information on numerous pornography sites! (see this). That blog expressed tremendous frustrated rage, but since Dadlani has withdrawn into his professional work and so he has another top target, guess who.
Increasingly he has directed his worst efforts against the two most important critics of Sai Baba, Robert Priddy and Barry Pittard. Moreno's writings against Robert Priddy are amazing in the degree of madcap hate and name-calling… and what I find are perversions of the facts at every turn [to get this, you have got to compare what Moreno writes with what Priddy actually writes on his own web pages and blogs]
Moreno has often accused me of 'blathering', 'frothing at the mouth' and many other such irrelevant actions. There is no evidence that I do any such thing, and I do not. However, what is Moreno doing here:- The transparent attempt to invalidate in advance any clarifications I might give speaks for itself how deeply Moreno tried to avoid any facts penetrating to himself or his clientele. However, in every case my wife was present at what are called 'private interviews' with Sai Baba, I was never alone with him anywhere for a second. His attempt to twist facts by false interpretation fell flat here as usual. It is bizarre in the extreme, since he implies that one may implicate Sai Baba as a sexual abuser (of me)! Further, I was 50 years old at the first interview (1986), and it is reported widely that Sai Baba only likes young men… no person ever alleged sexual abuse when they were over 35 years of age.
As my entire output shows, I was never involved in anything remotely like the interview Moreno describes that he had so I am entirely free of the perceptions that Moreno in the intensity of his rigid denial insists I must have! Moreno's wrote so guardedly about the oiling experience which I asked him to describe that he gives a tangible impression of embarrassment to tell just how Sai Baba reached his lower stomach with a handful of oil… or any other details.
He was definitely still confused about it all long, long after when he wrote that he believed Sai Baba to be a sexual abuser, "mingling the miraculous with the mundane" in some accounts. And, amusingly to most no doubt, he calls me "sexually twisted", while he was defending on the www tooth and nail a person who he for years saw as a 'partly miraculous' sexual abuser!
Gerald Moreno wrote :-
"Referenced from: http://exbaba.com/witnesses/gerson.html Greg Gerson says, "During one interview, which occurred just before I was scheduled to fly home to America, while we were alone, Sai Baba had me pull down my pants. He then "materialized" oil and pulled down my underwear and applied the oil on my lower abdomen below my navel and above my penis. He did not touch me sexually or ask me to do anything to him." (see here)
Basava Premanand replied: It is only after the person reacts passively to the request of pulling down his pants that SSB himself pulls down the underwear when he wants physical contact with the genitals, then massaging below navel up to the penis and watching the facial changes then only SSB moves to next and further manipulations sexually. This genital area oiling is not mentioned in any of the medical or religious texts from India. Oiling is not done in one part of the body but all over the body and massaging every part in Ayurveda, The massaging is done not only by hands but also by legs. This is believed as a rejuvenating therapy.
The very fact that Greg Gerson allowed SSB to make him pull down his underwear only indicates how much faith he then had on SSB as god on earth. David Paul states:"I was taken into the back room and subjected to one of the so called oilings that have so often been spoken of and I am not sure even today where I stand on that particular subject" This clearly refutes GM's claim that Paul also stated "that what happened to him was not sexual abuse". Here he is again attempting to deceive through inaccurate and tendentious presentation of the documented facts.
I know from a former friend, Michael Oliver, that Moreno had the same admiration for Sai Baba and therefore no doubt had his pants taken down, one way or another! The cardinal fact – that Moreno wishes in vain to deny – is that Sathya Sai Baba used oil on Gerald Moreno's lower stomach (which is 'in the genital region') and this is classified as sexual molestation when carried out by other than a registered doctor, which Sai Baba definitively is not. It makes no difference in law whether the subject of the act experienced it as pleasant or otherwise! The act of genital oiling is known to the pathology of sexual deviation as a form of "grooming' for possible sexual intercourse. Whether the perpetrator proceeds or not usually depends on how well it is received.
Finally, another lie and blustering threats by Moreno to conclude:-
I have never made a single legal threat against Gerald Moreno as he well knows. He has never received a letter from my lawyers.I have occasionally made a general warning about infringement of my copyright. Since Moreno is raring to go to court, let him sue me. My legal advisers see not a single point in which I am in jeopardy. I do know, however, that lawyers have been contacted by other offended parties to examine the options concerning Moreno. Note the vulgar fantasy in Moreno's anal threat above!
Further relevant instance of cover-up of genital nature of oiling, later admitted:
That I suggested that Moreno may not be telling the whole story due to embarrassment is not at all far-fetched nor in the least 'perverted' on my part as he so wildly protests! If that were so, then every charge of sexual molestation presented by anyone in any court, by Moreno's standard, would be 'perverted'! One case which illumines this is that of the British-Canadian author Paul William Roberts, who was clearly too embarrassed about what happened to him in a Sai Baba private interview to describe it for what it was. Roberts described in his book how he was oiled when in his early twenties "on the chest". (See last page but one of 'Empire of the Soul' Chapter 3 (p. 37 in original Canadian edition, 1994. US edition 1996) which is paraphrased and also directly quoted here:
Interview. P.W.Roberts feels Sai Baba's love. B. tells him all about his life and gives a breakdown of his personality. Then B. circles his hand and "a white oily substance" appears "in his palm". "Somehow, I knew what he wanted to do, so I lifted my shirt and let him rub this substance into my chest. I kept thanking him profusely." The next few days are spent in a daze of happiness and are a blur to PWR.
Subsequent to this published account, however, this confirmed devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, Paul William Roberts circulated an e-mail to a number of devotees telling them that this was actually a full scale genital oiling! He backed this up in another e-mail in July 2004, and confirmed having written it and that it can be circulated to other devotees. These e-mails can be produced as required by any court). A quotation from that e-mail follows:-
"My experience does in fact include genital contact. Baba materialized some kind of white ointment and rubbed in onto my perineum. It was done in a very maternal manner. He looked away while he was doing it and made no actual contact with my penis or scrotum. It was not remotely sexual and reminded me of a nurse performing a routine procedure."
(Note: the 'perineum' is the sensitive area between the genitals and the anus!). Seeing that a widely-respected journalist and author like P.W. Roberts completely misrepresented the nature of the oiling by Sai Baba in his book and let this stand for many years uncorrected (as it remains today), yet later confirmed in his widely-circulated e-mail to devotees how he had in fact covered up the embarrassing fact, you may imagine how difficult many find telling the true state of affairs. As to Roberts' subjective belief about his not having been subjected to any sexual act, it is of similar kind to Moreno's in his writing of his 'not having a clue'.

SNOWTIME! is a wonderful coming of age story about tween-aged children. The movie really captivated our attention with the refreshing animation and hijinks.
In Select Theaters February 19, 2016!
releasing digitally on iTunes and other VOD platforms March 1, 2016.


These are the books read in April.
A great finish to a great series. Is there anything else to add? I don't think so. Ah, the nostalgia.
I finally had to try this series. It does not disappoint. George R. R. Martin is excellent at bringing true emotions to all of his unique characters, and the book is a perfect blend of realism and fantasy. Read it.
It's interesting to read such a primordial collection, with ideas that all seem so obvious but that in many cases started out here (or rather, they were finally collected here). The introduction on the history of Aesop and his fables is also very enjoyable.

Rajya Sabha marshal
After facing flak over military-style uniform, Rajya Sabha marshals back to old traditional attire
The first day of the winter session of Parliament (November 18) had a surprise for the Rajya Sabha members after two marshals, seen standing beside the seat of the Chairman, were seen wearing a blue uniform with a military-style cap and shoulder insignia.
Shruti Mishra
New Delhi: A week after the military-style uniforms created controversy, Rajya Sabha marshals were on Monday seen back in their old traditional Indian attire - a bandhgala and a safa.
The new attire drew flak from several army officers, including former Army chief General Ved Prakash Malik and former DGMO Indian Army Lieutenant General Vinod Bhatia.
"Copying and wearing of military uniforms by non-military personnel is illegal and a security hazard. I hope VP Secretariat, Rajya Sabha and Rajnath Singh will take early action," Malik had tweeted while Bhatia said, "An uncanny resemblance hope not by design."
Members of the House too were surprised to see the marshals in the new uniforms. "It has happened perhaps for the first time. At least I don't remember such change," a House member had said.
After a controversy over the new uniform erupted, Rajya Sabha Chairman Venkaiah Naidu asked the Rajya Sabha secretariat to review the new uniform of the marshals.
"The secretariat of Rajya Sabha after considering the various suggestions has come out with a new dress code for marshals. But we have received some observations from some political as well as some well-meaning people. So I have decided to ask the Secretariat to revisit the same," Naidu had said while ordering the review of the dress code.
Sources said that Rajya Sabha secretariat decided to change the uniform of the marshal to coincide it with the landmark 250th session of the House.

Russia-Ukraine war live: Putin offers new incentive for Russians to join fight in Ukraine | Ukraine
Russian troops in Ukraine exempted from income tax
Russian authorities have announced that soldiers and state employees deployed in Ukraine will be exempt from income tax, in the latest effort to encourage support of its military operation there.
Agence France-Presse reported that the new measure concerned all those fighting in the four Ukrainian territories Russia has declared as its own, although it does not completely control them: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov cited an exemption contained in an anti-corruption law, which the Russian authorities published the details of on Thursday evening.
Soldiers, police, members of the security services and other state employees serving in the four regions no longer had to supply information on "their income, their expenditure, their assets", the decree said.

The decree also granted them the right to receive "rewards and gifts" if they were of "a humanitarian character" and received as part of the military operation in Ukraine.
It applies to the partners and children of those serving, and is back-dated to February 24 2022 – the date Russia invaded Ukraine.
The Kremlin has rolled out a series of incentives for Russians to fight in Ukraine, offering cash incentives, banking and property facilities and promising financial aid to families in the case of the death or injury of loved ones.
In Russia, soldiers and senior officials close to the country's military-industrial complex are regularly convicted in corruption cases in which large sums of money have been embezzled.

The Ukrainian military says Russian forces have tried to advance near Bakhmut and Avdiivka, the focal points of their slow-moving campaign to take all of the Donetsk region in the country's east.
Reuters reported the Ukrainian armed forces' general staff as saying on Friday that Russian forces had fired on several towns and villages, including Bakhmut, Kudryumivka just to the south, nearby Soledar and also the town of Kostyantynivka, west of Bakhmut.
The general staff also said Russian forces fired on Avdiivka, the nearby town of Maryinka and Nevelske. Russian forces shelled settlements further west in Donetsk region, including the town of Vuhledar, its statement said.

Opening summary
Hello and welcome back to the Guardian's continuing live coverage of the war in Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Ukrainian troops are holding their positions against Russian forces in eastern Ukraine's Donbas region, "where the fiercest battles are going on".
He added that Ukrainian forces were "slowly advancing" in some areas there.
Zelenskiy also claimed in his nightly video address on Friday that Kyiv had strengthened its anti-aircraft capability and would make it "even stronger" in the new year to protect itself and the entire European continent.
This is Adam Fulton and here's a brief look at other major developments as it turns 9am in Kyiv on this last day of 2022.
Vladimir Putin has invited his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, to make a state visit to Moscow next northern spring, as Russia seeks to deepen its ties with China amid growing international isolation over the war in Ukraine. Speaking to Xi via a videoconference, Putin said Russia's ties with China were the "best in history" and expressed his wish to extend military collaboration.
The call between the two leaders came hours after Ukraine was again attacked by Iranian-made "kamikaze" drones. The Ukrainian military said it shot down all 16 drones, which it said were sent from the south-east and north. Vitali Klitschko, the mayor of Kyiv, said there were no casualties from the strikes.
Nato's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said Vladimir Putin had not given up his plans to "control Ukraine" and warned everyone to "prepare for the long haul". Stoltenberg told the dpa news agency that Russia had mobilised "many new troops" and "demonstrated a willingness to endure painful losses". "This is not over," he said. "We should not underestimate Russia."
Belarus has summoned the Ukrainian ambassador, saying it shot down a Ukrainian air defence missile in Belarusian territory. Alexander Volfovich, the secretary of the Belarus security council, has accused Ukraine of trying to "provoke a regional conflict", claiming it was "unlikely" that the Ukrainian air defence missile downed on Thursday had entered Belarusian airspace by accident. A Ukrainian military spokesperson said the incident was "the result of air defence".
Zelenskiy repeated his earlier warnings that Moscow could be planning to plunge Ukraine into darkness before the New Year's Eve holiday. The latest drone attack comes at the end of a week in which Russian forces launched a series of deadly bombardments of the recently liberated city of Kherson.
Moscow's exiled chief rabbi says Jews should leave Russia while they still can, before they are made scapegoats for the hardship caused by the war in Ukraine. Pinchas Goldschmidt told the Guardian: "When we look back over Russian history, whenever the political system was in danger you saw the government trying to redirect the anger and discontent of the masses towards the Jewish community … We're seeing rising antisemitism while Russia is going back to a new kind of Soviet Union." Goldschmidt resigned from his post and left Russia in July after refusing to back Putin's war.
The self-proclaimed republics in Donetsk (DPR) and Luhansk (LPR), both of which are occupied areas of Ukraine that Russia claims to have annexed, have adopted new "constitutions", the Russian state-owned Tass news agency reported. Denis Pushilin, who is styled as the acting leader of the DPR, was quoted as hailing "the return of Donbas to the bosom of the Russian cultural and historical tradition".
The richest Russian oligarchs have lost almost $95bn this year amid sanctions imposed by western nations over the Ukraine war – shedding $330m a day since the Kremlin launched its invasion. Roman Abramovich, the former Chelsea FC owner, was the biggest loser, with his fortune falling by 57% to $7.8bn this year, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Britain says it has given Ukraine more than 1,000 metal detectors and 100 kits to deactivate bombs to help clear minefields in the latest instance of military support. "This latest package of UK support will help Ukraine safely clear land and buildings as it reclaims its rightful territory," the British defence minister, Ben Wallace, said in a statement.
Vladimir Putin "warmly congratulated" Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, on the coming new year, adding that "mutually beneficial relations" between the two countries were developing "very dynamically", the Kremlin said. Putin would not wish a happy new year to Joe Biden, Olaf Scholz, Emmanuel Macron or leaders of other "unfriendly countries", it added.
The chief of Eurovision, Martin Österdahl, has told BBC radio that Russia's ongoing ban from the international song contest has been hard but the event should stand for "the basic and ultimate values of democracy".

Police launch appeal after more reports of flasher in the area
The man asked the victim for the time and when she looked back at him to answer she noticed that he was exposing himself
Harriet Robinson
A flasher is on the loose again in Burbage - after a spate of incidents in the village earlier this year.
The latest incident happened on Friday May 16, at around 6.45pm, as an 18-year-old girl walked from Park Road, onto Parsons Lane, and over the railway bridge onto the wooded area behind Brookside.
As the victim walked off the bridge she noticed a man sitting on the bench around five yards from the path. The man asked the victim for the time and when she looked back at him to answer she noticed that he was exposing himself to her.
The woman quickly exited the area towards Brookside.
The suspect is described as white, in his late teen to early twenties, slim build, with short dark hair.
PC 4018 Wendy Gilliver said: "We would like to speak to anyone who was in the area at the time who may have seen the man or anyone who has any information as to who the man may be."
There were two similar incidents in the Burbage area that happened in March this year. The first incident took place on March 8 at Hinckley Road and the second incident, which also took place the the train station, took place on March 23.
Sgt Graeme Thompson, from Hinckley Police Station, said: "We are linking this incident to the others. There has been an arrest made but we are still continuing with our enquiries.
"We want to hear from anyone that was in the area at the time.
"Over the summer months we do tend to see an increase in this kind of offence but generally these incidents are still very rare.
"For the victims of these incidents it's the fear factor of what the person might do and the shock that somebody would do something like that. It can frighten people so much that they don't want to visit the area again. In this case the victim made her way away from the area as quickly as she could."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the relevant officer on 101, follow the instructions to leave a message for the officer and when prompted key in the officer's identification number. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, which is free and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.

Phoenix Repertory Theatre Group: The Actors' Theatre

Rising above the ashes of dated performances and uninspired casts, Long Island's newest community theatre is excited to bring an innovative perspective to the performing arts.
The Phoenix Repertory Theatre Group, now the official theatre in residence at the Babylon Citizens Council on the Arts (BACCA) in Lindenhurst, is a self-declared proponent of the nontraditional.
"The conceit was to bring shows to Long Island specifically for actors and directors," says Paul Lichtman, president of the Phoenix board of directors. "We're here to offer shows that these passionate local performers have been dying to do, but haven't had the opportunity."
The Phoenix's inaugural show, Steel Magnolias, directed by Edward Cress, was held in May at The Onyx Theatre next to the Noel S. Ruiz Theatre, an intimate space where the crowd was thoroughly impressed.
"It was a treat from start to finish," one viewer said. "The entire production had much more of a regional theatrical feel compared to the usual community theatre I have experienced … I was fairly surprised and impressed."
While poignant social commentaries and difficult subject matters often make other theatres hesitate, it is this sense of emotion that Phoenix Repertory is actively seeking.
Most recently, in producing Lillian Hellman's drama The Children's Hour, the theatre found both financial success and critical acclaim in a compelling production befitting of its sensitive theme.
Continuing its season with One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest in September and October, the Phoenix has big goals for the coming year. Planning to offer master classes and cabarets in addition to establishing a children's theater and classes for teens, it seems the Phoenix is well on its way.
"Right now we're the little theatre that could, but we have big ambitions and I'm happy to say in a short time we've gathered a strong group of individuals who not only believe in our mission, but are willing to devote their time and efforts to make our dreams a reality," says Lichtman.
Inviting actors of all ethnicities, gender identities, and orientations, the Phoenix encourages all to be a part of its journey.

Expert witness: Use of force against Dent 'reasonable'
Elisha Anderson
A witness deemed an expert in the use of force watched dashcam video showing former Inkster officer William Melendez's actions during a traffic stop earlier this year, then gave his opinion on it to jurors.
"The use of force was reasonable," said Aaron Westrick, an associate professor in criminal justice at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie.
He testified today that Floyd Dent resisted officers during his Jan. 28 arrest in Inkster and said it appeared Dent's hands came up "in a punching-type motion."
The video at the center of Melendez's police brutality trial was played again today in Wayne County Circuit Court, including frame by frame. It shows Melendez punching Dent in the head 16 times, then another officer arrived and repeatedly used a Taser on Dent.
Westrick, who was called to testify by the defense, said Dent continued to resist after the blows stopped.
Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Robert Donaldson asked Westrick if his opinion is often "pro-police."
"Often … not always," Westrick replied.
Motorist Floyd Dent testifies against ex-Inkster cop
Westrick has worked in law enforcement since the early 1980s and currently works as a patrol officer during the summer in Charlevoix County. He testified he is getting paid $200 an hour for his work on this case and expects to be paid a total of $4,000 to $5,000.
"My testimony is not bought," Westrick said when questioned about being paid.
Westrick testified he was shot in the line of duty early in his career, but said that didn't influence how he viewed this case.
$1.38M cop beating settlement will cost Inkster taxpayers
Dent, 58, testified last week that he did not resist during his arrest, which resulted in injuries requiring hospitalization. The longtime Ford worker was driving without a valid license when he was pulled over.
The prosecution contends Melendez hit Dent "for no apparent reason" and has said Dent didn't do anything but try to defend himself.
Melendez, 47, was fired from his job after video of the arrest became public and has been charged with misconduct in office, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and assault by strangulation.
Melendez's attorney, James Thomas, said testimony in the case will likely finish Thursday. The trial in Detroit resumes before Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans at 9:30 a.m.

The U-S Senate continues grinding away on the healthcare overhaul bill, hoping to be done before Christmas. But Senator McCaskill would not be surprised to still be working on the bill then.
"It's healthcare all the time here," she says.
McCaskill says the Congressional Budget Office's cost estimate is essential before the bill can move forward because several senators have said they'll vote against it if the CBO does not show it to be budget neutral, or better.
McCaskill is trying to amend the bill to keep insurance companies from jacking up their rates before the changes go into effect, as credit card companies are doing before a new federal credit card law becomes effective. macjack.

Tanner Foust Eyes Scheduling Change After the Tough Weekend
TROIS-RIVIÈRES, Canada (August 10, 2014) – Rockstar Energy Drink driver Tanner Foust is hoping to add another World RX date to his 2014 schedule after a difficult weekend in Canada that saw him retire from competition before the race even began.
The driver, who in 2011 became the first American ever to win a round of the international rallycross championship, found himself watching the Canadian World RX race from the commentary box after he was sidelined with a mechanical issue.
The team worked hard to diagnose the problem, which caused repeated driveshaft failures, but with the event running under an unusually compressed one-day schedule, there was no time to complete a full repair. Foust was unable to complete even a lap of competition.
"I feel for the guys on the team who worked hard under less than ideal circumstances to find the issue," said Foust. "But we had to pull the plug when the spare driveshafts ran out."
The Friday event marked the first North American stop for the World RX series and Foust said he was looking forward to the chance to race in front of the enthusiastic Quebec crowd.
"The Canadian fans are completely motorsport mad and it was great to be here and experience that," he said. "Trois-Rivieres a phenomenal place to be a racecar driver."
Rather than sitting behind the wheel, Foust instead made a guest appearance behind the mic on the World RX television and livestream broadcast, offering his perspective on the rallycross competition alongside official commentator Andrew Coley.
The race win ultimately went to World Rally Champion Petter Solberg, while Foust's Volkswagen teammate Anton Marklund finished second, and Timur Timerzyanov rounded out the podium. Volkswagen sent three cars to the six-car final, and is now tied with Ford in the series manufacturer's ranking.
Earlier this year Foust announced that, in addition to his full Global Rallycross Championship campaign with Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross, he would make four select World RX guest appearances with the Marklund Motorsport Volkswagen team. With stops in the UK, Finland, and Canada complete, he said he's now hoping to add one more race to his calendar before his final scheduled appearance in the series, World RX of Turkey, in October.
In June, Foust drove his Rockstar Energy Drink Volkswagen to the top of the podium at World RX of Finland, making it the second year in a row that he has won the Finnish stop of the championship.
Rallycross is a blend of circuit racing, off-road racing and rally competition. It promises intense crowd-pleasing action in a fan-friendly track environment. As many as 10 drivers line up to start at once, piloting high-horsepower compact cars through race traffic over a challenging short course that features jumps, unbanked turns, hills and transitions between pavement and gravel.
Next, the two-time Global Rallycross Champion returns his focus to Global Rallycross competition with the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross squad and the sixth championship stop of 2014 in Daytona, Florida, August 23.
