More Resorts Ready to Welcome Guests
More resorts that were a week ago in the path of Cyclone Winston in Fiji's Yasawa and Mamanuca islands are ready to welcome visitors again, backpackers have swapped the beach for the villages where they are helping with the clean up and cruise and resort connection vessels are helping distribute much needed supplies.
"The massive team effort of everyone lending a hand means that more than half of the 30-plus resorts we package will be welcoming visitors in the coming days," says Peter Duncan CEO of Awesome Adventures Fiji, South Seas Cruises and Blue Lagoon Cruises, which operate in these picturesque islands off the Fiji coastline to the north-west of Nadi.
"Everyone intending to travel with us can be confident that they will be accommodated and go home having had an awe-inspiring time – an experience they will be talking about for years to come."
He said, as could be seen in the regular operational updates available via the companies' websites, there was now a clear picture of which properties and day trip/overnight anchorage locations were in a position to welcome guests.
Mr Duncan said the Blue Lagoon Cruises' ship Fiji Princess, the South Seas Cruises' resort connection vessels and Awesome Adventure Fiji's Yasawa Flyer were delivering basic supplies to villages in the Mamanucas and Yasawas as part of current schedules.
"Our passengers are saying they are pleased to be a part of what is happening and that they are humbled to see how the relief – basic stuff like rice, flour, tinned fish and tarpaulins – is so appreciated by these villagers that have lost just about everything, and didn't have that much to begin with. Building materials and tools are next - and we're calling out to trades people like builders, plumbers and electricians to volunteer to help."

Stocker Cup
Pairings/Results
Chalk up another big amateur win for Las Vegas resident Brady Exber.
Exber, winner of this year's British Senior Amateur, shot a final round 73 and defeated Herbie Aikens on the first playoff hole (No.10) with a par to capture the annual Stocker Cup Championship title Friday at par-72 Sonoma Golf Club.
A member of the Southern Nevada Golf Association Hall of Fame, Exber finished the three-day, 54-hole event with a total of 32-under 213. He had entered Friday's final round holding a three stroke lead over Aikens and Fairfield resident Jeff Wilson.
In the finale, Aikens had two bogeys but also three birdies. That would open the door for Aikens.
Longtime amateur great Brady Exber won his first Stocker Cup title.
Aikens, winner of this year's Massachusetts Mid-Amateur and Public Links Championship, took advantage of the opportunity, posting a 70 that included five birdies and three bogeys to forge a tie at the top after regulation. Aikens' run would come to an end, however, when he was unable to match Exber's par.
Wilson, the second lowest amateur at this year's U.S. Senior Open and the low am at the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, slipped to a tie for fourth after posting a 74.
Defending champion John Sawin of San Francisco had a day-low 4-under 68, pushing him to a solo third place finish.
Joining Wilson at 217 were Brad Wilder (72) of Kentucky and Jason Anthony (70) of Fairfield. Earlier in the week, Anthony helped the NCGA claim its ninth straight crown in the annual Hanna-Wehrman Cup.
In the Ruth Barry Stocker Cup (team play), Exber and 'B' player partner Jim Fisher had a final round 67 to finish at 17-under 199 and win by five over the tandem of Bryan Hoops and Chris Strahan. Hoops and Strahan shot 68 to come in at 204.
The teams of Shane Sigsbee/Erick Stocker (69) and Jerry Ledzinski/Pete Wlodkowski (73) finished T-3 at 207.
Played in memory of Peter Stocker, the Stocker Cup has been held each October at The Preserve Golf Club in Carmel since 2000. Due to the severe drought, for 2014 Sonoma Golf Club was chosen as the host venue.
The field is comprised of 50 world- class mid-amateur invitees, (A players) who play an individual 54-hole stroke play competition and simultaneous team event. For the team portion of the event, the A players are paired with a B player (handicap 0-12.5) who include relatives and associates of the late Peter Stocker, as well as participants invited by the A players.
Las Vegas resident Brady Exber just recently won big when he captured this year's British Senior Amateur. Now, he's in line to capture another top amateur prize.
Exber, a member of the Southern Nevada Golf Association Hall of Fame, shot an even-par second round 72 Thursday at Sonoma Golf Club to take a three-stroke lead into Friday's final round of the annual Stocker Cup. A three-time winner this season, Exber's 72 gave him a two-day total of 4-under 140 and a three shot cushion over Herbie Aikens and Jeff Wilson, who are tied for second at 143 after rounds of 73 and 69, respectively.
A day after carding a 68, Exber's pace slowed down but he was still steady, carding four birdies to go with four bogeys. Now in its 23rd year, a win at the Stocker Cup is one title missing from Exber's resume.
Aikens, winner of this year's Massachusetts Mid-Amateur and Public Links Championship, didn't get off to a great start, carding a bogey on the 2nd and a double-bogey on No.3. He'd rebound by playing his next 15 holes at 2-under thanks to four birdies.
Wilson, who was the second lowest amateur at this year's U.S. Senior Open, made his move by shooting a 3-under 33 on the front-nine that featured five birdies and three bogeys. On his back-nine, the Fairfield resident had a birdie and a bogey.
In at 145, five behind Exber, are five players including Las Vegas resident Shane Sigsbee, Jerry Ledzinski of Carmel and Hillsborough's Nick Ushijima.
Sigsbee, who reached the Round of 16 at this year's U.S. Mid-Amateur, shot 73. Ledzinski, a co-runner up at the 2011 Stocker Cup, had 75 and Ushijima shot 71.
Defending champion John Sawin shot 71 to move to a 36-hole total of 148.
In the Ruth Barry Stocker Cup (team play), Exber and 'B' player/partner Jim Fisher are leading at 12-under after their second straight 66. Ledzinski and partner Pete Wlodkowski are in second at 134 after a 66.
Brady Exber of Las Vegas grabbed the lead at this week's Stocker Cup, posting a 4-under 68 in Wednesday's first round at par-72 Sonoma Golf Club.
Exber, a member of the Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame, had a front-nine 32 that included four birdies. On his back-nine, Exber added two more birdies on holes No. 10 and No.14 to get to 6-under, but he'd also double-bogey the 15th.
Brady Exber had four birdies on his front-nine.
Jerry Ledzinski of Carmel, who finished T-2 in the 2011 Stocker Cup, is two behind after opening with a 70 that featured birdies on No.13 and No.17. Herbie Aikens, who captured this year's Massachusetts Mid-Amateur and Public Links Championships, also carded a first round 70.
San Rafael resident Kevin Kobalter, winner of the 2007 NCGA Four-Ball, shot 71.
Last year, John Sawin of San Francisco finished at 8-under 208 (70-71-67) to win by four strokes over Kevin Marsh. Marsh had won three of the previous four Stocker Cups.
In the Ruth Barry Stocker Cup (team play), a trio of squads finished the day tied atop the leaderboard with matching scores of 8-under 64. The three tandems are Brady Exber/Jim Fisher, Mark Mance/Scott Clark and Nick Ushijima/Andrew Doll.

£1,000 grants for solar heating
ELTISLEY-based Energise Engineering Limited has been given clearance to offer householders in Huntingdonshire a grant of £600 from the district council towards the installation of a solar water heating system. It is in addition to the standard £400 grant
ELTISLEY-based Energise Engineering Limited has been given clearance to offer householders in Huntingdonshire a grant of £600 from the district council towards the installation of a solar water heating system.
It is in addition to the standard £400 grant from the Low Carbon Buildings Programme that almost all householders are entitled to.
This brings the total grant to £1,000 per house, which represents about 25 per cent of the cost of a solar water heating system, the company claims.
Energise Engineering has been designing and installing solar systems since 2002. Its engineers fit systems to existing houses and new build and supply larger equipment for swimming pools, nursing homes, hotels or industrial situations.
Energise says its systems produce most of a family's hot water in the spring, summer and autumn months, and in the winter make a smaller but useful contribution to hot water production.
INFORMATION: Energise Engineering Ltd is at 31 Caxton End, Eltisley PE19 6JT. Telephone 01480 880020 or contact Bruce Hill on 07757 670 879.

Hanalei Lookout, just past Princeville Shopping Center on Kaua'i's North Shore, is a place where visitors — and locals — often pull over to enjoy the view of the famous and gorgeous Hanalei taro patches.
The sunrise at Kealia Beach on Kaua'i's Eastside can be quite a beautiful experience. If the ocean is flat, take a dip in the water to start your day right, but don't get too adventurous; the lifeguards only come at 9 a.m. If the waves are firing and you're an experienced surfer, it's the best time to paddle out.
Tamba Surf Co. is Kaua'i's most well-known surf brand, offering quality surf clothing and accessories. But this small yet famous surf shop on the Eastside also provides surfboard rentals for all skill levels. They have longboards for beginner surfers, regular surfboards for intermediate and experienced surfers, and the latest in surfboard design for the shredders out there.


Ray Dalio on "Savor Life" or "Make An Impact"?
In Principles, Ray Dalio poses a fundamental life-choice. On a simple scale (depicted below), he has "Savor Life" on one end and "Make an Impact" on the other. Where are you on the scale and where would you like to be?
Let's simplify this rather big question. I have come to realize that this is not one big grand decision. It is the accumulation little decisions/choices we make every-day that lead to a life of "Savor" or "Impact".
For example, should I leave a little early on Wednesday to take my wife out to the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco to watch "Book of Mormon" (savor life) or should stay a little later at work on Wednesday evening to prepare for the podcast that will go out to thousands of people (make an impact)? Should I spend Sunday morning taking my kids to the zoo (savor life) or should I make progress on the charity event we are planning (make an impact)?
Now, faced with these daily smaller choices between "savor" and "impact", I want crazy amounts of both.
I know happiness is quality of my relationships and I want to savor life with my family and friends. I also know that I want an impactful life packed with adventure to find higher ground and "make a dent in the Universe". I refuse to accept the choice in front of me!
He brings this advice of going slow and finding a way to have as much of both as possible through an intractable people problem that he faced at Bridgewater – where he was criticized for his "harsh" people management and lauded for brilliant understanding of markets. To Ray, these choices were at odds because he could not remain authentic to his value of "truth" and change his style. He went slow, and realized that people would understand him better if he laid out clearly where he was coming from. That understanding led to the clarification and writing down of his "Principles".
Coming back to the little choices of "Savor Life" and "Make an Impact". Ray's advice is super helpful here and something I have found practical. If we slow down a little, we can reframe the choice in front of us. For example, I can record my ideas for the podcast on my drive back home and use software to transcribe it so I can take my wife to the show on Wednesday evening. I can request the other volunteers of the charity event to put an early draft together on Sunday morning and then promise to work on it and improve it once I am back from taking my kids to the zoo.
As Ray says, "Some people want to change the world. Some want to live in simple harmony with it. Neither is better". But, many of us want crazy amounts of "savoring life" and "making an impact". So, instead of forcing ourselves to make the choice in front of us let us go slow to get most of both!

Josh Dunne Signs with Columbus Blue Jackets

Days after Clarkson announced the premature cancellation of their season, allegedly due to a team party that broke Covid-19 protocol, junior forward Josh Dunne has signed a free agent contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Despite modest scoring numbers this season—2-3-5 in 14 games with the Golden Knights—Dunne remained one of the better undrafted free agent prospects available in the NCAA this season due to the way he projects as a big, two-way centerman.
Listed at 6'4" 209 lbs., Dunne played center for Clarkson, and many scouts project he'll be able to play up the middle at the pro level as well in a third or fourth line depth role.
Dunne signed a two-year deal with the Blue Jackets. The Blue Jackets immediately assigned Dunne to their AHL affiliate in Cleveland where he will begin his pro career.

Toolkit Encourages Charities to Regulate the Regulator
UK umbrella body, The Directory of Social Change, has issued a new toolkit encouraging organisations to question the national charity regulator's political independence.
Wendy Williams | 21 May 2018 at 5:15 pm
The toolkit, Three Pillars of Independence, aims to "monitor and guard against encroachment on the regulator's independent decision-making".
It gives a list of practical questions which anyone can ask to assess whether the charity regulator is acting independently, focusing on three key things: independence from party politics, populism and the press.
"The Charity Commission's objectivity is fundamental to how its legally binding decisions are perceived by charities and for its overall legitimacy with the sector it regulates," the document said.
"Charity trustees must have confidence they will be treated in an impartial manner, free from covert or overt political bias. This is especially important for charitable causes or activities which may be unpopular with certain political parties, elements of the press, or sections of the public."
According to the charity, the launch of the toolkit follows "widely-held concerns" about the party-political bias of the previous Charity Commission chair William Shawcross, and the subsequent appointment of Conservative peer Baroness Stowell to replace him against the advice of a parliamentary scrutiny committee.
DSC's director of policy and research, Jay Kennedy, said they had published the toolkit as a "bulwark" to support the commission's independence and confidence in its legally-binding judgments.
"Recent governments have sought leverage over the Charity Commission via the appointments process," Kennedy said.
"To anyone paying attention it's obvious that relevant administrative expertise, experience of charities, or knowledge of charity law has been secondary to other considerations. This is a deeply disturbing trend.
"Charity trustees need confidence that their regulator is operating in an objective way, based on the law and evidence, not unduly influenced by political rhetoric or press hyperbole."
CCA CEO David Crosbie told Pro Bono News the situation in the UK was a good example of how efforts to restrict the public voice of charities have been put in place
"There is no doubt that around the world, increasingly nationalistic and popularist governments are seeking to restrict the voice of civil society through a whole range of approaches. Some focus on overseas donations, some on advocacy and the role of charities in elections, some focus on tightening restrictions through appointments and re-tasking of regulators to become more active in closing down the activities of charities involved in advocacy," Crosbie said.
"The situation in the UK is a good example of how efforts to restrict the public voice of charities have been put in place, and there are several parallels with Australia including changes to electoral law and appointing someone to head the regulator in a way that is neither merit based nor reflective of best practice in charity regulation."
However Crosbie questioned how charities could use tool kits or other guides to challenge the way a regulator "goes about its work".
"My reading is that the toolkit developed in the UK asks a series of questions. The real issue is what you do when the answers betray a bias against charities and their work," he said.
"In Australia we have yet to really see the how the appointment of commissioner [Gary] Johns will play out, particularly in relation to charities using advocacy to pursue their charitable purpose which we know he opposes.
"It is to be hoped that the capacity of the ACNC commissioner to act outside of his remit is relatively limited, and the strong legislative and administrative structures in place ensure the ACNC continues to be a very effective and respected regulator."
An ACNC spokesperson said: "The ACNC commissioner appears before Senate Estimates Committees three times a year – including Budget Estimates in late May – this provides an opportunity for public scrutiny of ACNC decisions."

Zika in the Americas: Countries affected, microcephaly, deaths amd GBS
The spread of Zika virus in Latin America and the associated news of the suspected effects of the mosquito borne virus has been an important topic in this part of the world and we have been following it closely on this website. This has prompted the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to publish an Epidemiological Alert today.

Local transmission of Zika virus
Nine member states of the this region have now confirmed and reported autochthonous transmission of Zika virus to include Brazil, Chile (on Easter Island), Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela
In October 2015, the Brazil International Health Regulations (IHR) National Focal Point (NFP) notified the detection of an unusual increase in microcephaly3 cases in public and private healthcare facilities in Pernambuco state, Northeast Brazil.
As of 30 November 2015, 1,248 cases (99.7/100,000 live births) of microcephaly, including 7 deaths, have been reported in 14 states of Brazil, which are under investigation.
On 28 November 2015, the Brazil Ministry of Health established the relationship between the increase in occurrence of microcephaly and Zika virus infection through the detection of Zika virus genome in the blood and tissue samples of a baby from the state of Pará. The newborn presented microcephaly and other congenital anomalies and died within five minutes of being born. The confirmation of the presence of the viral genome was provided by the Evandro Chagas Institute, national reference laboratory for arboviruses in Belém, Pará.
1st Zika deaths
As of 28 November 2015, the Brazil Ministry of Health has notified three deaths associated with Zika virus infection. The fatal cases are two adults and one newborn.
Guillain-Barré syndrome
On 25 November of 2015, the Aggeu Magalhães Research Center of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation Institute reported that of the 224 suspected dengue patients whose samples were analyzed for Zika virus infection, ten were confirmed positive. Seven of the ten samples confirmed with Zika virus infection correspond to patients with neurological syndrome.
All the recent finding with Zika in recent months has prompted the UN agency to update the recommendations on surveillance of Zika virus. This includes the surveillance for neurological syndromes and congenital malformations, and also provides recommendations for the follow up of pregnant women and newborns in areas where Zika virus is circulating.

Apple News Plus: Much awaited news subscription service combines news with immersive magazines
Apple News+ is now available for users in the United States, and Canada for $9.99 per month and $12.99 per month respectively.
Published: March 26, 2019 2:37 AM IST
Apple has just announced its much-awaited news subscription service, the Apple News+ at its March 25, "It's show time" launch event. The interesting thing about this is that this brings together two different branches of journalism, the news, and the magazine business together to create a seamless "virtual newsstand" experience. Addition of the magazines has helped Apple reach the vision of its newsstand experience. According to the announcement, users will be able to access more than 300 popular magazines, important newspapers, and digital publishers all from the existing Apple News app.
As the company revealed, the Apple News+ service is currently rolling out with the just-launched iOS 12.2 operating system update for iOS and version 10.14.4 for macOS. Though it is worth noting that this service is cross platforms and you will have access to all your subscriptions and addition content regardless of the device. Lauren Kern, the Editor-in-Chief for Apple News issued a statement adding, "We're committed to supporting quality journalism, and with Apple News+, we want to celebrate the great work being done by magazines and news outlets."

As part of adding magazines to a digital platform, the company also added a new thing called "Live Covers" to transform static magazine covers into something more engaging. The magazines themselves will be full of animations, typography, and info-graphics to provide a richer experience.
Major publications on Apple News+
Some of the publications available as part of Apple News+ include Vogue, National Geographic Magazine, People, ELLE, The Wall Street Journal, and LA Times. The publications build upon the existing collection of news and stories that is already present for free on Apple News. To be clear, the free experience is still not going anywhere. Other publications, both magazine and digital include The Atlantic, Conde Nast, Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker, The Oprah Magazine, New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, TIME, Sports Illustrated, Vanity Fair, Esquire, GQ, WIRED, theSkimm, The Highlight by Vox, The Cut, and more.

Apple News+ Pricing and availability
Apple News+ is now available for users in the United States, and Canada for $9.99 per month and $12.99 per month respectively. Interested users can sign up for a free one month trial in the beginning. One thing to note here is that users need to be running the recently released iOS 12.2 or macOS 10.14.4 to run Apple News+. Apple will also allow subscribers to share the same subscription with up to six family members without any charge on the subscription. Last but not least, the company is planning to launch the service in the UK and Australia later in the year.

Power Stars Talk [Spoiler]'s Brutal, 'Truly Unintentional' Death
By Kimberly Roots / August 14 2016, 7:00 PM PDT
Courtesy of Starz
This post contains major spoilers from Sunday's Power.
Tommy, what have you done?
Sunday's Power found the burgeoning drug kingpin fatally choking girlfriend Holly during a rage blackout after learning that she'd hired the Jamaicans to kill his estranged best friend, Ghost. While Holly's death wasn't completely unexpected — the Starz series rarely rewards characters who adamantly refuse to stay in their lane — nobody thought that Tommy would be the one to take the love of his life out for good.
Especially Joseph Sikora, who plays the violently impulsive Mr. Egan.
Once his shock wore off, "I told [showrunner] Courtney [Kemp] after I had read the script, I had re-read Of Mice and Men, because it reminded me so much of the scene with Lenny and the young girl at the end of the book," Sikora says. (If you're not familiar with John Steinbeck's classic novel, let's just say the scene in question involves a man who doesn't know his own strength.) "It's truly unintentional."
Holly's final scene began with Holly goading her boyfriend about not being able to carry out his boss Lobos' command to kill Ghost. It quickly escalated to a fatal, physical brawl that, portrayer Lucy Walters wryly notes, some viewers have been looking forward to for a while.
"That's the best, when they're like, 'Holly needs to die,'" she says, laughing. "Honestly, I feel like it's a gift. There are so many roles for women that are described as 'sexy' and 'pretty' and 'nice,' and there's all this pressure to be liked… There's been something paradoxically liberating in this, where it's like, 'Oh, I thought she was supposed to be the hot bombshell cocktail girl, but she's actually not. She's actually this. And knowing that, 'Oh, they're going to hate me no matter what, so I can lean into that and I can be ugly.'"
Walters adds, laughing: "When people hate her I feel like, 'Well, yes. We've done our job.'"'
Moving forward, Walters says, Holly's demise will be incredibly tough for Tommy to reconcile. But finding out she was carrying his child…
"The blowback from that is going to be really long and really hard," the actress says. "Say what you will about these two people, but what they had was actually real. Yes, they are two very complicated and very broken people, but it was a real love."
She adds: "It's not a Hallmark love, but it is a real one."
Do you have an opinion on Holly's death and how it will affect the rest of Power's third season? Sound off in the comments!

I'm always concerned that people understand that prosperity is more an activity of the Spirit than of the flesh. A lot of us like to think that prosperity is something that is of the flesh – that if we use the laws, then a great deal of money is released into our world.
Money is what people always seem to want. But that's not really the answer. Happiness, contentment, peace of mind, understanding, compassion, tolerance and every good quality of life are worth more than anything else. Money cannot buy this.
Yet you can't live in the modern world without money, unless you're a peace pilgrim or somebody like that. You can use the begging bowl, as the poor do in India. They run around with a begging bowl, and all day long they beg until somebody has pity on them and drops a coin in their cup and they go out and buy their meal.
I don't think most of us could live that way, particularly if we have families. I know The Summit Lighthouse couldn't live that way because we have a printing press to maintain so we can keep on publishing the teachings of the great masters.

BRICS member states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) share common ground on reforms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday at the BRICS summit
MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 17th November, 2020) BRICS member states (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) share common ground on reforms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday at the BRICS summit.
"In light of the G20 summit, to be held in Saudi Arabia on November 21-22, I want to note that the approaches of BRICS countries on most of the items of G20 activities are close or are the same concerning the reforms of key global institutions such as IMF, WTO and WHO," Putin said.

Google Chrome leads the browser pack at preventing phishing, study finds
By Katherine Noyes
Senior U.S. Correspondent, PCWorld |
Phishing attacks are an all-too-common threat on the Internet today, but among the top browsers Google's Chrome does the best job of preventing them.
That's according to a recent study by security research firm NSS Labs, the results of which were published on Wednesday.
"The average phishing URL catch rate for browsers over the entire 10 day test period ranged from 90 percent for Firefox (version 15) to 94 percent for Chrome (version 21)," NSS explained in its report. The chart below depicts the firm's results.

Tested browsers' mean phishing block rates (higher is better).
Socially engineered malware
Of course, given that the study had a margin of error of about 2 percent, the difference among the browsers on the phishing dimension isn't exactly striking. That, in turn, led NSS to conclude that "one must consider other factors, such as socially engineered malware blocking capabilities, for qualitative differences in the security effectiveness of the browsers."
Last month, in fact, the company published a separate report focusing on socially engineered malware. According to the results of that study, Internet Explorer 10 led the pack with a mean malware block rate of 99.1 percent, followed by Chrome 21, with 70.4 percent.
Firefox 15 and Safari 5 lagged far behind in this respect, both blocking less than 5 percent, as shown in the chart below.

Browsers' overall malware block rates (higher percentages are better).
50,000 phishing sites every month
Socially engineered malware and phishing attacks are the two biggest threats facing Internet users today, NSS says, dwarfing both drive-by downloads and clickjacking in prevalence and severity.
Some 50,000 phishing sites are now detected every month, compared with fewer than 40,000 in 2011.
The browsers' big challenge now is to detect and block phishing sites quickly, NSS says, particularly given that the average uptime for sites linked to phishing attacks in 2012 is just 23 hours, down from a high of 73 hours in 2010.
"With phishing sites now rotating at a much faster pace, it is critical for browsers to identify and block sites more rapidly," NSS explains.
On that dimension, Firefox 15 had the fastest average block time of just 2.35 hours, while the others ranged from 5.38 to 6.11 hours. The zero-hour block rates for the browsers tested against brand new malicious URLs ranged from Chrome 21, at 53.2 percent, to Safari 5, at 79.2 percent.

Q: Global variables/singleton alternatives for storing dependent constants I'm developing a game and want to create a config for easy app skinning.
I'm stuck with device specific constants. For example I want to store device-specific font size. Lets say I want 30 for iPhone and 45 for iPad. Now I do it by declaring global variable like so:
let h2FontSize : CGFloat = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad ? 45 : 30

Then use it like so:
private let topLabel = CCLabelTTF(string: "", fontName: mainFontName, fontSize: h2FontSize)

But that is not seem like a beautiful solution, because I also have h1, h3 fontSize and they all look the same.
let h1FontSize : CGFloat = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad ? 60 : 45
let h2FontSize : CGFloat = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad ? 45 : 30
let h3FontSize : CGFloat = UIDevice.currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad ? 30 : 15

How to deal with device-specific constants?

A:
How to deal with device-specific constants?

Make them part of your data model. These values aren't really constants -- they might not change after you set them up, but they're configured during execution and they depend on the particulars of the environment in which the app is running. So treat them like any other data in your app and put them in your data model.

A: You can do something like:
private extension UIDevice {
    static func isIpad() -> Bool {
        return currentDevice().userInterfaceIdiom == .Pad
    }
}

struct Font {
    struct Size {
        static let H1: CGFloat = UIDevice.isIpad() ? 60 : 45
        static let H2: CGFloat = UIDevice.isIpad() ? 45 : 30
        static let H3: CGFloat = UIDevice.isIpad() ? 30 : 15
    }
}

Then, all your Font styling can be made directly in that Font struct. So if you need more styling you could make H1 return a styled UIFont with your needs instead of just a CGFloat which would decouple your styles even more.
Then, you can improve this by creating a Style struct that takes a UIDevice as a dependency instead of using the currentDevice() singleton.

Modern churches are continually looking for new ways to attract larger congregations and to ensure the local community are aware of coming events in the church calendar.
Traditionally, churches have relayed on static notice-boards, posters and even bill boards to get their message across but now, thanks to the growth of outdoor digital signage, this task has become easier.
Many churches, and for that matter, synagogues, temples and mosques, are installing outdoor digital signage outside their religious buildings to communicate with their congregation – as well as spreading the message of God.
Outdoor displays have great advantages over other mediums for this sort of task. An outdoor digital signage screen cab scheduled to relay content at specific times – so when the congregation is arriving for service, messages about future events can be relayed, yet, when there is no service the device can be used to spread religious messages or encourage other members of the local community to join.
Churches are not profitable organisations so any expenditure on an outdoor digital signage device needs to be kept to a minimum; while financial savings can be made with the use of outdoor screens by doing away with the need to get signs and advertisements printed and erected – further savings can be made in the selection of outdoor digital signage hardware.
Many outdoor digital signage systems are installed using waterproof or outdoor TVs, which seems an obvious choice, after-all no outdoor screen can survive without being protected from the weather, yet, outdoor screens are highly expensive and are often out of the budgetary range of most churches.
But there is a far cheaper and just as efficient method if implementing outdoor digital signage – ideal for churches, schools or other public locations.
An LCD enclosure is, on the outset, a simple metal LCD cabinet; however, the beauty of the LCD enclosure is that it can house any type of flat panel LCD or plasma display and keep it completely protected from the weather.
Not only are LCD enclosures weatherproof but the interior of the enclosures contain temperature control modules such as cooling fans, heaters and even air conditioning (for extremely hot weather locations) to ensure that the LCD screen is continually operating in the perfect environment – despite what the ambient conditions are.
LCD enclosures are being implemented outside churches and other religious buildings up and down the country – enabling all the advantages of outdoor digital signage without the expense.


Analogue Bubblebath Vol I was the first EP released by electronic musician Richard D. James under the alias of The Aphex Twin on the 1991 issue, and AFX on subsequent issues. It is the first release in the Analogue Bubblebath series. It was reputedly first put together by James at age 17.
The EP consists of four tracks, all done in the acid house style (except for the first "Analogue Bubblebath"), which was popular at the time. It was released in 1991 on vinyl by Mighty Force Records, and by TVT Records in the USA in 1994 on both CD and 12" vinyl formats. The tracks "Analogue Bubblebath" and "Isopropophlex" can be found on the R&S Records compilation Classics. "Isopropophlex" appears in a longer form titled "Isopropanol" and "Analogue Bubblebath" is extended by a few seconds of additional ending titled "Analogue Bubblebath I".
Tom Middleton collaborated on "Entrance to Exit" under the pseudonym Schizophrenia. On the UK issues "Entrance to Exit" is misprinted as "En Trance to Exit". This is fixed on US issues.

Nineteenth Century Anarchist Terrorism: How Comparable to the Terrorism of al-Qaeda?
In a speech given last November and in an article, Professor James L. Gelvin argues most forcefully for the existence of close similarities between nineteenth century anarchist terrorism and contemporary terrorism.1 In his talk Gelvin specifies six main areas of resemblance. These include the fact that both anarchists and al-Qaeda: number one, prefer action over ideology, number two, focus single-mindedly on resistance to an intrusive alien order, three: lack programmatic goals, four: pursue violence for its own sake, five: attack the state and the entire world system of nation states and, finally, operate through decentralized, semi-autonomous cells. Gelvin goes further than noting similarities, since he actually contends that al-Qaeda–style jihadism is a kind of anarchism, an Islamic anarchism, and indicative of the reemergence of anarchism as a force in world history after an approximately sixty year absence. Understandably, Gelvin concentrates on al-Qaeda, a subject that forms part of his general area of expertise, and spends little time explaining how the anarchist terrorists fit into his paradigm.
This points to a problem for commentators trying to compare these two terrorist phenomena, since usually those authors who know something about the Middle East and Islamic terrorism know little about nineteenth century anarchists, and those who know something about anarchist terrorism know much less about al-Qaeda. I have to place myself in the latter category, since my field of expertise is not contemporary, but rather nineteenth century terrorism, and more specifically, the diplomatic and police efforts to repress nineteenth and early twentieth century anarchist terrorism. Nonetheless, in this essay I will go out on a limb and analyze the ways in which the phenomenon of nineteenth century anarchist terrorism prefigures the phenomenon of contemporary terrorism, adding my amendments and additions to Gelvin's intriguing hypothesis.
First of all, it is important to note that Gelvin makes no distinction between anarchists and anarchist terrorists. Few anarchists became bomb-throwers or carried out violent acts. One of the founding theorists of modern anarchism, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, was either equivocal about or rejected violence. He proclaimed in 1848 that: ''Killing people is the worst method for combating principles. It's only through ideas that we triumph over ideas.''2 Although most anarchists assumed the necessity of a violent revolution to overthrow the established order, pacifist anarchists such as William Godwin, Leo Tolstoy at the end of his life, and the Dutch anarchist, Domela Nieuwenhuis, were also influential. Therefore when Gelvin speaks of Islamic anarchism, he really means Islamic anarchist terrorism.
Some of Gelvin's other points can be accepted with little comment. In a rough sort of way anarchism does put action over ideology since it emphasizes spontaneous deeds reflecting popular feeling rather than careful planning. General strikes and popular uprisings, not parliamentary debates and vanguards of the proletariat carefully plotting revolution according to the precepts of an allegedly scientific socialism. Al-Qaeda also seems less interested in ideology than in instigating spectacular deeds
of violence.
Gelvin's third point is similar to the first and perhaps just as plausible: both anarchism and al-Qaedism lack programmatic goals (although they certainly have SOME programmatic goals, depending on what one means by that).
Perhaps, too, Gelvin is correct that al-Qaeda, ''like anarchism, targets the very system that is, for it, the wellspring of subjugation.''3 This is a fancy formulation noting that al-Qaeda denounces the great structures of the modern era in a way comparable to the anarchist denunciation of government, capitalism, and the institutional church as the sources of human oppression. This is one of Gelvin's more interesting claims. Gelvin has found various statements by bin Ladin and other Jihadists denouncing Arab nationalism and the ''enervation of the Islamic world'' due to its dispersion into ''dozens of states and mini-states.''4 Bin Laden sees the nation state as a Western imperialist structure lacking a religious foundation and imposed on the Islamic East by the Western powers after World War I. Bin Laden has also denounced the entire international states system and the United Nations as tools of a Zionist-Crusader alliance.
In the place of the evil nation state—and here is where it seems to me al-Qaeda diverges from anarchism—Bin Laden and his followers want the establishment of an enormous Islamic Caliphate, a millenarian kingdom of justice on earth where sharia law will be applied absolutely and that would include all areas which have, or have had in the past, an Islamic population.
By contrast, most anarchists were not interested in religion, which they saw as oppressive. Even if anarchism itself possesses aspects of a secular religion, which it does, the anarchists have never suggested the creation of such a superstate. The Islamic superstate, moreover, implies the existence of a single ruler or caliph, which would be doubly anathema to the individual freedom-loving anarchists. The anarchists, at least according to the great anarchist theorist Peter Kropotkin, propose the devolution of states into their component parts so that the earth would become covered by a vast ''interwoven network,'' or federation, of communities and local groups of producers and consumers linked together voluntarily. This fragmentation of authority seems at the polar opposite from the grand Islamic caliphate. The anarchists would also hate the imposition of sharia law, or any law, period, since anarchism rejects law and court systems as detrimental.5
Even more open to question is Gelvin's contention that both anarchism and al-Qaeda are essentially reactive, with a single-minded focus on resistance to alien intrusion. This seems more applicable to the Jihadists, since in statement after statement they have called for the self-defense of the Islamic umma, or community of believers, against the ''Zionist-Crusader alliance'' which has occupied parts of formerly Arab Palestine, invaded Iraq, and for a time stationed troops in Saudi Arabia, the site of Islam's holiest shrines. Jihadists wish to roll back Western incursions going all the way back to the Christian reconquista of Moorish Spain.
Jihadism is much more nostalgic for an idealized past than anarchism. Although Kropotkin and other anarchists saw in the premodern clan, the village community, the guild, and the free city of the Middle Ages praiseworthy examples of resistance to the state, he emphasized that history developed organically and was on the side of the anarchists. Kropotkin thought that in his own era the vast development of ''voluntary associations,'' what we now call non-governmental organizations, showed that structures were emerging from the ground up that would replace governments and lead to an anarchist society. Anarchists were also great believers in modern science, technology, and education, which they were confident would liberate humans from the political, economic, and religious prejudices and structures of the past. In other words the anarchists proposed, and in some places carried out, a constructive program. This was true, even if another one of their most powerful messages, a message that resonated especially with anarchist terrorists, was a ''reactive'' protest against the abuses of nineteenth century society, particularly its economic exploitation and political repression.
What about Gelvin's fourth point, that Jihadists and anarchists, or better, anarchist terrorists, pursue violence for its own sake? One thinks immediately of the anarchist leader Mikhail Bakunin's infamous statement (made even before he became an anarchist) that the ''urge to destroy is also a creative urge.'' One also thinks of al-Qaeda's attack on the twin towers, which had only a roundabout connection with Bin Laden's stated goal of getting the Zionists and Crusaders out of Islamic lands. 9=11 seemed to be more a piece of violent, symbolic theater, than concrete policy.
On closer examination, though, I find it difficult to write off either al-Qaeda or the anarchists as engaging in violence for the sake of violence. Dive bombing the World Trade center towers was designed to rally Islamic support behind al-Qaeda, which it accomplished to some extent since this stunning attack made al-Qaeda seem to be a very powerful organization. Overnight, it was transformed into a potent magnet attracting discontented Muslims from throughout the world. There were also other justifications for the 9=11 attacks, even if they were not good ones. All of this does not appear like violence for the sake of violence, since 9=11 had specific goals outside the violent acts themselves.
As for anarchism and violence, it is instructive to examine, by way of example, the motives of the Italian anarchist-terrorists, who became famous as Europe's preeminent regicides. Crackpots aside, I can think of only one case of violence committed by them for the sake of violence, or actually violence for the sake of earning a lot of publicity. In 1898, on September 10 (September has proved to be an ominous month for terrorist deeds), an Italian anarchist named Luigi Lucheni stabbed the Empress Elizabeth of Austria in the heart because he wanted to become famous (and also because he was frustrated with his poverty stricken and miserable life). Of the two dozen or so Italian anarchist assassins or bomb throwers between 1880 and 1914, nine carried out their deeds primarily for revenge: six to revenge political repression, two to revenge socio-economic repression, and one for personal revenge against a newspaper editor who had slanderously suggested that he, the anarchist Achille Pini, was a police spy. Anti-clerical feelings fueled the actions of three anarchists, leading them to kill two priests. Two wished to protest Italy's imperialist invasion of Libya in 1911, as well as the repressiveness of society. At least two were severely mentally unbalanced. The culprits involved in four alleged anarchist incidents, most spectacularly the 1894 bombings of the Italian parliament, and of the War and Justice ministries in Rome, were never identified. Two Italian anarchist terrorists may have been police spies and a third, Gennaro Rubino, who tried to assassinate the king of Belgium in 1902, definitely was. These latter terrorists carried out violent deeds in order to restore their reputations with anarchist comrades, reputations that had been soiled by rumors of police connections. One might add that the number of police agents and agent provocateurs involved in terrorist incidents throughout Europe before 1914 is sufficiently large to constitute a relatively important cause of violent mayhem. This may differentiate the earlier period from contemporary terrorism since as yet little has been heard of Jihadist agent provocateurs performing violent deeds.
While most of the Italian anarchist revenge attacks carried some symbolic baggage, they were also executed in response to specific political or police actions rather than in a mindless lashing out against targets of purely symbolic oppression. (It should be emphasized that such quixotic assaults as that on the Greenwich Observatory in 1894 were exceptions, not the rule.) In May 1893, Paolo Schicchi bombed the Spanish consulate in Genoa (but removed the dynamite from the explosives so that there would be no innocent victims). Schicchi wanted revenge against Spain because the Barcelona police had tortured him. Paolo Lega shot at Prime Minister Crispi in June 1894 because he blamed him, correctly, for ruthlessly repressing the fasci siciliani, unions of Sicilian peasants and workers. Sante Caserio assassinated President Carnot of France for refusing to reprieve anarchists such as Vaillant, who was guillotined despite the fact that he made sure the bomb he threw into the French parliament was too weak to kill or seriously injury anyone.6 In turn the assassin of the editor of a Livorno newspaper wished to avenge the latter's published attack on Caserio. Perhaps with greater justification, in 1897 Michele Angiolillo shot down Spanish Prime Minister Canovas as ultimately responsible for the police's savage torture of completely innocent anarchists and others imprisoned in the Montjuich fortress, all falsely accused of complicity in terrorist bombings. At his trial in 1900, Gaetano Bresci declared that it was ''after the states of siege [i.e., martial law] in Sicily [in 1894] and Milan [in 1898], established illegally by royal decree, that I decided to kill the king in order to vindicate those pale and bleeding victims.'' Moreover, Bresci explained, the king was at fault for awarding a medal to the general who had shot down unarmed men, women, and children in Milan who were protesting rising bread prices and unpopular government policies.7 All of Bresci's complaints against the king were arguably true, even if retribution might more justifiably have been meted out to the general in charge of the troops in Milan and the prime minister directly responsible for these policies. Bresci believed that his act of regicide would be followed by a revolution within two months.8 This lengthy analysis of motivation shows, I think, that the Italian anarchists did not carry out their deeds in pursuit of violence for its own sake, except perhaps in the cases of the assassin of the Empress Elizabeth and the two crackpots.
In terms of the general cause or motivation for anger, leading in some cases to terrorist deeds, one might ask whether a fundamental difference does not exist between historic anarchism and radical Islamic Jihadism. Anarchist militancy was intimately tied up with the ''social question,'' the social problems, injustices and grievances of the nineteenth century working class population, both rural and urban. When a significant amelioration of the social question occurred through a combination of political and economic action and reforms, improvements in the economy, and anarchist absorption into the labor movement, as in France and Italy after about 1900, the problem of anarchist terrorism diminished dramatically.9 Given its connection to the social question, one wonders if nineteenth century anarchist terrorism does not parallel more closely the new Left terror of the 1960s and 1970s than contemporary Jihadism (even if the membership of the Italian Red Brigades, for example, was much more middle class than the anarchist terrorists, who were mostly artisans and labourers).
Unlike anarchism, Jihadism's fundamental complaint is not the product, or primarily the product, of any social question. Rather it is a protest against what al-Qaeda perceives to be western, ''crusader'' imperialism. Its genesis was intimately tied up with the successful expulsion of the Russian imperialists from Afghanistan. Therefore, al-Qaeda's major discontent seems to resemble much more that of the Irish, Algerian, and other anti-imperialist terrorists of the period from the 1920s to the 1960s, what David C. Rapoport has called the second wave of terrorism, than that of the propagandists by the deed.10
Nonetheless, similarities exist in terms of the worldwide scope and the styles of violence employed by al-Qaeda and the anarchists. In the early twentieth century, anarchist terrorism appeared to be a universal threat, like al-Qaeda today. Stunning
assassinations and bombings took place in previously untouched or recently untouched areas, such as North and South America, and groups unaffiliated to anarchism, such as the terrorists of India, were co-opted into the Black International by the reports of alarmed and sensation-seeking journalists.11 The only continent that avoided some act of real or alleged anarchist ''propaganda by the deed'' was Antarctica. Both al-Qaeda and the anarchists have been prone to select highly symbolic targets, be they the center of America's war making power, the Pentagon, or, in 1893, that great den of the bourgeoisie, the Barcelona opera house. The symbolism of bombing the latter was enhanced by the fact that at the time it was performing ''William Tell,'' an opera about assassination in the name of achieving liberty. The anarchists also targeted such symbolic sites as stock exchanges, cafe, and religious processions. Most famously, they murdered more (eight) monarchs, prime ministers, and presidents than any other terrorist group in history. While most of these rulers possessed real authority (and therefore were not purely symbolic targets), two were figureheads with minimal (the President of France) or no (the Empress Elizabeth) political power.
Another point of possible similarity regards acts of suicidal terrorism. Although they did not push it to the extremes of al-Qaeda, the anarchists carried out a number of suicide bombings and were often fatalistically resigned to dying after committing their violent deeds. This may be significant because suicide bombing only occurred or occurs in the anarchist and the most recent waves of terrorism. Probably the first suicide bombing of the modern era was carried out in March of 1881 by a Russian nihilist (although the nihilists were not anarchists) when he consciously gave up his life in order to ensure that his bomb got close enough to assassinate the Russian Tsar. The assassin stood one meter from his target and the ensuing explosion killed both assassin and victim. Emile Florion, the first French propagandist by the deed, tried to commit suicide after he had fired at a random bourgeoisie (but perhaps Florion is not such a good example since he was mentally unstable). Alexander Berkman, a Russian-Jewish immigrant to America, was planning to die by his own hand after he killed the ruthless, strike-breaking manager of the Carnegie steel works. Emile Henry, the brilliant young French anarchist who was responsible for the death of five policemen as well as killing and wounding 21 people in a Paris cafe´ in 1894, frequently expressed the desire for martyrdom. After an enormous wave of terrorism swept across Russia following the outbreak of the 1905 Revolution, we find reports of anarchist suicide bombers.12 In November 1912, Manual Pardinas killed himself immediately after shooting to death Spanish Prime Minister Canalejas. On the other hand, about half of the Italian anarchist terrorists attempted to escape after their deeds, or carried them out anonymously. While none of the 20 or so Italian attentatori tried to commit or contemplated suicide, more than a handful made little effort to secure their escape after performing violent deeds. Lombroso, the famous criminologist and controversial analyst of the anarchists, labeled this behavior ''indirect suicide.''13
Gelvin's final point of comparison between anarchism and al-Qaedism points to their highly decentralized structures built upon semi-autonomous cells. Rohan Gunaratna supports this view in his best selling 2002 book Inside al-Qaeda. There he claims that the constituent groups of al Qaeda operate as a loose coalition, each with its own command, control and communications structures. . . . Al Qaeda can also be conceptualized as a holding company and its associated Islamist groups as its subsidiaries, with al Qaeda providing venture capital.14
In other words, this is terrorism by franchise, with al Qaeda happy to lend its brand name to terrorists operating in Spain, Indonesia, Iraq, and elsewhere.
Even if Gunaratna and Gelvin's depictions of al-Qaeda are correct, the comparisons with anarchism work only partially. This is because as decentralized as terrorism by franchise may seem, the anarchists, not surprisingly, made even less effort to organize and coordinate their attacks. They never created terrorist training camps or central command posts. The newspapers spread stories that London and Paterson, New Jersey, were the centers of vast anarchist conspiracies, but these were all myths. Most anarchist deeds of violence were due to spontaneous individual actions, sometimes with the help of a few friends. In an essay on political violence, Emma Goldman, the famous American anarchist and intimate friend of the assassin Alexander Berkman, compared anarchist violence to the outbreak of a summer storm. Sensitive souls, she claimed, suffering from the wrongs and injustices of society, lash out against the system. ''The burning, surging passion'' caused by ''just indignation . . . makes the storm inevitable.''15 Most of the notorious anarchist assassinations of political leaders fit this description (although certainly in some cases their justice would be called into question.) Only the 31 May 1905 assault on King Alfonso XIII of Spain, who was riding through Paris in the same carriage as the President of France, may have been an exception, since this seems to have been the product of an elaborate international plot originating in Spain. Who exactly was behind the assault is unclear; the French court acquitted the Spaniards arrested for the crime.16
But the anarchists were occasionally able to pull off organized feats of terrorism that foreshadowed what al-Qaeda accomplished in 1998 in East Africa and on 9=11. The best examples of this took place in the United States. At the end of April 1919, thirty bombs were mailed to various high-ranking officials, from the Attorney General and a Supreme Court justice to mayors, congressmen, and a Bureau of Investigation agent. They were all supposed to arrive on May 1, international Labor Day, but due to the vagaries of the post office and the anarchists' failure to put sufficient postage on one package, it did not happen. Nonetheless, this attempt at nationwide terrorism stunned the public. On June 2, 1919, nearly simultaneous explosions took place in seven American cities at the homes of various officials, including the Attorney General, who was severely shaken. The culminating event of this wave of anarchist violence was the terrible Wall Street explosion of 16 September 1920. This was the deadliest act of terrorism in American history before the Oklahoma City bombing of April 1995. The identity of the man who placed the bomb that killed 33 people and injured over 200 others has never been conclusively established, although several historians believe it was Mario Buda, a follower of Luigi Galleani. Galleani was an Italian immigrant, anarchist, and advocate of terrorism who wrote a guide to building bombs. The historian Paul Avrich speculates that Buda set the bomb near the symbolic heart of American capitalism as revenge for the persecution of his anarchist friends over the previous years. Among these friends, recently indicted for murder, were Sacco and Vanzetti.17
In conclusion, some similarities do exist between al-Qaeda and anarchism: both emphasize direct action, lack the detailed programmatic goals of some other political groups, and demonize the modern nation state. The threat posed by both appears—
or once appeared—to be global. Suicide bombing also finds a pale premonition in pre-World War I terrorism. But anarchism is less backward looking, less purely defensive, and less centrally organized than Al-Qaeda. The anti-imperialist thrust of al-Qaeda seems distinctly different from the anti-social rage of the anarchist terrorists. If history rhymes, as Mark Twain famously said, then these two terrorist twins are a little out of rhythm with each other, the explosive ''music'' of their respective terrorisms considerably off key.

1 Response to Nineteenth Century Anarchist Terrorism: How Comparable to the Terrorism of al-Qaeda?
Анархист says:
You people are so being confused. I will give you an advice. Read about ideology, philosophy and activism before you write statements, before you open blogs and pages and mainly before giving speeches in front of the public. Anarchy, mostly the social anarchist types are against violence, that's why anarchist terroristic attacks are a oxymoron, while there is only one type of anarchism, which is called anarchist syndicalism which advocates the use of power to maintain balance between the State and the ordinary people. No other, or highest percent of other Anarchist branches accept violence as a way of explaining your opinion. You cant make similarities between Al-Qaeda and Anarchy. Anarchy is peace. Read up a bit, please…


Cleveland Cavaliers general manager Koby Altman had plenty to say about the team's decision to send George Hill to the Milwaukee Bucks while bringing Matthew Dellavedova back to the Cavs.
Dellavedova and forward John Henson were acquired on Friday in a three-team deal that sent Hill to the Bucks and forward Sam Dekker to the Washington Wizards.
The trade also involved the Cavs picking up a 2021 protected first-round pick and a 2021 second round pick to go along with a 2022 second round pick from the Wizards.
After the deal was official, Koby Altman discussed his thoughts on the players involved and why it was important for the Cavs to make this happen.
Cleveland is off to a 5-20 start this season following a 129-110 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, and there's no doubt that this is clearly a transition year for the organization.
Next up for the Cavs is a home clash with Wizards on Saturday night.

The introduction of the iPhone delivered into people's hands a technology that continued the dissemination of knowledge started by the internet. Not since the invention of the printing press has any technology had such a profound effect on society.
The transmission of knowledge to the people carries with it a massive shift in the locus of power within society; the healthcare system is merely one area that will be transformed.
Whilst contemplating how best to respond, the changes will occur around them. As such, the emergence of the new is most likely to come from outside existing health systems and will be funded by venture capital.
The most noticeable manifestation of these changes in the UK has been the rapid emergence of online digital health apps such as Babylon as a virtual platform for delivering general practice services. NHS Hammersmith and Fulham CCG are supporting a pilot of Babylon's technology – implemented as GP-at-Hand – which gives people the choice to access their general practice services using their smartphones.
An assessment of the model has been commissioned and will run until April 2019. But we already know that in the initial months, over 30,000 have registered with this new service. Its appeal is mainly to the low-use, low-need segment of the population where speed of access and convenience is their critical issue.
The response to this phenomenon is, understandably, mixed.
NHS Birmingham CCG is continuing to block a proposal to introduce the Babylon system on the grounds of 'patient safety'.
At the same time, a federation of 56 GPs practices in Birmingham, covering a population of 300,000, has introduced its own virtual service for patients that has been rated 'outstanding' by the CQC.
In the London pilot, Babylon is currently using four NHS practices to provide limited physical follow-up for any patients that need to be seen, although it is reportedly in consultation with architects to design a physical structure for their system.
Will NHS executives manage to develop a business model that supports NHS general practices as a whole, or will Babylon and its ilk continue to develop its services and artificial intelligence as an alternative to NHS general practice?
In the end consumer choice will be the driving force behind the changes to the health system. Only time will tell whether the NHS has what it takes to respond.

-fostering gardens-
Ueyakato Landscape uses traditional Japanese garden fostering techniques to nurture new scenery that will last for generations to come.
Scenery is created by the natural environment, human activity, and the society that surrounds both of them.
By incorporating into today's society the techniques that have been used to tend to gardens for centuries, we can also nurture an enriched scenery for the future.
In addition to garden creation and management, we are devoted to utilizing gardens in accordance with their surrounding social environment.
To the greatest degree possible, we draw out the appeal that Japanese gardens have as points of convergence where varied forms of Japanese culture come together.
Our aim is to contribute to the creation of a better society by continuously nurturing these gardens and communicating their value to the world.
Kyoto's gardeners have long engaged with nature, thoroughly observing its changes and characteristics down to the finest detail, and reflecting them in their expression of space. In this unprecedented age where people, money and information circulate at unimaginably fast speeds, Ueyakato Landscape strives to discover genuine value that can lead people and society toward a brighter future.

Landscape gardening services (Surveillance, planning, design, construction, maintenance and management of gardens, parks, greens, and forests)
In today's ultra-convenient society, Japanese gardens, which sometimes are fostered over a period of several centuries, must seem quite inefficient. We believe, however, that it is precisely in our present age that garden fostering techniques may hold the value we need to help shape a better society.
When raising a Japanese garden, actual garden creation consists of 40%, whereas daily cultivation or, as I like to call it, garden fostering makes up 60%. To create a garden requires a large amount of capital both in terms of personnel and money, and this makes a garden' s completion all the more joyous an occasion. What is important, however, is the fostering of the garden that occurs after it is first completed. This means not simply pruning overgrown branches, but engaging in ceaseless activity to make use of the garden as an expression of space; it means sensitively picking up on the property owner's ideas and the garden's distinctive character as well as accepting and understanding the natural landscape. In addition, I believe it is also necessary not only to tend to the garden directly, but to communicate its appeal in easy to understand terms and thereby to nurture a culture of cherishing gardens. It is thanks to this act of cultivation that Japanese gardens are able to give us a feeling of peace of mind and enrichment that all people can share; something we can hardly gain amid our competitive daily lives.
Approximately 1,200 years ago, it was written in the "Sakuteiki" (Records of Garden Making) that man-made gardens can never exceed the beauty of nature. This means that the techniques that we human beings are capable of are never superior to nature's design, and we must therefore revere nature and learn from it. As we approach the daily work of nurturing gardens in Kyoto, Japan and throughout the world, it is this message from our forebears that we wish to keep in our hearts.
Ueyakato Landscape Co., Ltd. President Tomoki Kato
