Religious freedom debated in Japan. Court ruling a blow to rights, some say
By Daniel Sneider Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
June 3, 1988 | Tokyo
Japan's Supreme Court handed down a controversial ruling Wednesday in a precedent-setting case on constitutional guarantees of religious freedom. The court reversed two lower-court decisions upholding the complaint of Yasuko Nakaya, a Christian woman, that her deceased Army-officer husband was deified in a Shinto shrine at the behest of the military and against her will.
Opponents of the 14-to-1 vote ruling Wednesday, say it will threaten the rights of minorities to practice their religion and undermine the constitutional separation of church and state.
``Japan lacks a legal system to protect human rights,'' said Kazuki Nobe, a minister in the United Church of Christ, where Mrs. Nakaya is a member. ``It is like the days of [the Japanese Empire] when religious freedom was only allowed so long as it did not threaten the Emperor system.''
In recent years, the church-state link has become a public issue because of the visits of Japanese Cabinet officials to Shinto shrines, including Yasukuni Shrine which is dedicated to Japan's war dead. For a long time, such visits were taboo because they smacked of a revival of the association between prewar militarism and the elevation of Shintoism into a state creed.
In the early 1980s, Yasuhiro Nakasone made an annual pilgrimage to Yasukuni as prime minister. He halted the practice when it sparked strong protest from neighboring Asian nations who were victims of Japanese wartime aggression. They saw the visits as a calculated insult, given the enshrinement there of men condemned as war criminals by the Allies.
Still, Cabinet members annually descend as a group on Shinto holy places such as Yasukuni. ``When they go there as a group,'' argues Nobuyoshi Ashibe, a law professor at Gakushuin University, ``they are representatives of the government. That's a violation of the Constitution in principle.''
``I don't think people should worry too much whether officials' visits here are against the Constitution or not,'' says To Kanno, chief priest of Yasukuni, ``since they visit here just to express their appreciation for those who died for the country.''
There are reportedly 11 cases now in Japanese courts regarding issues of religious freedom, including one specifically challenging the Yasukuni visits. ``The influence of the Supreme Court's decision on future similar suits is beyond measure,'' worries Mr. Ashibe.
The court ruled on two issues - the role of the state and lower court assertions of a constitutional protection of a person's right to religious practices.
Nakaya's husband was a lieutenant in the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (SDF) who died in a traffic accident while on duty in 1968. Though not a Christian, he was buried in her church in Yamaguchi. In 1972, SDF in Yamaguchi informed Nakaya it was going to enshrine the soul of her husband in Gokoku Shrine, a Shinto place of worship for war dead. In Shintoist practice, enshrinement means the person achieves a deified status.
Nakaya filed a damage suit in 1973 against the state and the SDF veterans' association that carried out the enshrinement, demanding cancellation of the enshrinement.
Both a district and high court ruled that the actions of the SDF violated the Constitution. The high court decision defined a new concept of ``personal rights based on religion,'' including the right to ``cherish the memory of a deceased person without interference.''
The Supreme Court's decision said it was not a violation of the separation of church and state because the SDF role was only to collect documents. The actual application for enshrinement was made by the veterans group. The SDF role, the court said, was aimed at promoting the morale of servicemen and had no religious nature.
The court rejected the concept of ``personal rights based on religion'' and said that the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom calls for ``a mutually generous attitude'' toward the religious activities of others unless they harm or coerce. They said Nakaya should be tolerant of the Shintoist practices, which did not infringe her rights.
The decision, says Yoichi Higuchi, a constitutional law expert at Tokyo University, reflects the Japanese attitude toward religious faith. Japanese, he said, see no difficulty in observing different creeds at the same time. According to government statistics, most Japanese observe both Buddhist and Shinto rituals. There are about 1.4 million Christians among the 122 million Japanese.

Dewey's Nine Lives: The Legacy of the...
Dewey's Nine Lives: The Legacy of the Small-town Library Cat Who Inspired Millions
by Vicki Myron and Bret Witter
Nine stories about cats of all kinds are told in DEWEY'S NINE LIVES. Author Vicki Myron responded to the overwhelming reaction to her first book, DEWEY, by compiling and sharing these stories of other unique cats and their owners. Each tale is different --- depending upon both the individual cat's personality and the circumstances of the owner --- but shares many similarities. In several instances, the cat owner experiences difficulties of some sort --- whether poverty, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, unemployment, or alienation and loneliness. It doesn't matter if the cat is a cuddler, a watcher, a clown, a hunter, or a lapcat. Each holds an important role in the life of its owner or companion. And each human readily acknowledges the value and importance of the cat's companionship and affection.
The felines include, but are not limited to, Mr. Sir Bob Kittens, who does a strange karate-type dance while standing on his hind legs; Tobi, a very timid cat who remains in hiding unless her owner Yvonne is nearby; and Spooky, who likes motorcycle rides --- under 25 miles per hour, that is. Although cats are carnivorous, Cookie loves broccoli rabe. Rusty, a rather large cat, has a taste for people food and loves relaxing in a bathtub full of water. Anyone who has ever owned a cat will confirm that no two cats are alike, and the stories in this book are certainly proof of that.
At a resort on Sanibel Island, Flordia, Tabby rides in the basket of Mary Nan's bike. In the 1980s, Sanibel Island has an abundance of feral cats, and many of them end up at Mary Nan's. First, one cat shows up. Then another. Before long, she and her husband are running an unofficial feline shelter.
As a farmboy, Bill rescues animals and owns a pet raccoon. He volunteers for the army and serves in Vietnam, where he encounters the unspeakable side of war. He returns with post-traumatic stress disorder, which plagues him for many years. The only constant in his life is the little kitten that had somehow escaped the grip of an owl in flight and landed on Bill's car. He rescues the kitten, which he names Spooky. Many years later, Bill adds another kitten, Zippo, to the family. Both have feline AIDS.
Glenn is under the dashboard working on his old 1953 Studebaker Commander when he feels something land on his chest --- a small orange and white kitten. Glenn pets the kitten, which stretches out on his chest. It isn't frightened by the banging of tools, so Glenn continues to work on his car. An immediate bond is formed.
The stories here are as varied as the cats and their people. Also included is information about Dewey and Vicki's lives. The final chapter contains a very happy ending for Dewey's mom. And it's no great surprise that a cat is part of that story, too.

what does it mean?
when restore the textview color to its default, the error disappear and all is running well.
what's matter? how shall I set color of the textview correctly?
Thanks,
11-11 00:45:56.302: E/TextView(2828): Saved cursor position 2/2 out of range for (restored) text

I forget what I changed in the prog and a prompt in logcat shows like this,
enter code here

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    ...
    android:textColor="@string/TColor" />

In the string.xml,
<string name="TColor">#ff0000</string>

A: You need to store #ff0000 as a color not a string.
Put the color in your colors.xml file in the res/values folder of your project.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="my_color>#ff0000</color>
</resources>

Then in your text view use:
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    ...
    android:textColor="@color/my_color" />

<Additional>
Reading your last comment, I think I see where you are confused.
Yes you can put different resource types all together in one XML file. But they must still be declared as their correct types. For example this first XML below is fine:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <color name="t_color">#ff0000</color>
    <color name="t_color_alternate">#dd0011</color>
    <string name="text_1">First Text</string>
    <string name="text_2">Second Text</string>
    <color name="another_color">#ee3311</color>
    <dimen name="my_margin">16dp</dimen>
    <string name="text_3">Third Text</string>

</resources>

This second XML however will cause you problems when you try to use the resources because the types are incorrect:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

    <color name="t_color">16dp</color>
    <color name="t_color_alternate">Fred</color>
    <color name="another_color">Rectangle</color>
    <dimen name="my_margin">Blue</dimen>

</resources>

<Second Additional>
When you declare <string name="TColor">#ff0000</string> the compiler will create a String object and fill it with the characters "#ff0000" when you run your app.
In other words, it is like writing String TColor = "#ff0000" in code.
Simillarly, when you declare <color name="TColor">#ff0000</color> the compiler will create a Color object and fill it with the color #ff0000 when you run your app.
This is like writing Color TColor = 0xff0000 in code.
If you read the Reference Documentation for Strings you will see it represents a sequence of characters. A Color on the other hand represents a sequence of integers.
Finally if you read the Reference Documentation for TextView you will see that the XML attribute android:textColor is equivalent to the method setTextColor(int). So when you write <string name="TColor">#ff0000</string> you are trying to put a String into setTextColor(int).

Economic integration
Globalization and India's Economic Integration
by Baldev Raj Nayar
Cloth: 978-1-62616-107-8 | eISBN: 978-1-62616-108-5
Library of Congress Classification HC435.3.N393 2014
Dewey Decimal Classification 330.954
ABOUT THIS BOOK | AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY | REVIEWS
A common critique of globalization is that it causes economic segmentation and even disintegration of the national economy. Quite to the contrary, Baldev Raj Nayar provides a thorough empirical treatment of India's political economy that challenges this critique by demonstrating that, on balance, both state and market have functioned to attenuate such a disintegrative impact and to accentuate economic integration. The active role of the Indian state in the areas of economic planning, fiscal federalism, and tax reform has resulted in improved economic integration and not increased segmentation. Similarly, his investigation of trade, investment, entrepreneurship, and migration suggests tendencies inherent in the market in favor of economic integration, especially when assisted by the state. While globalization has its benefits, such as higher economic growth, and costs, such as external shocks, Nayar's findings show that India has benefited from globalization more than it has been victimized by it.
Globalization and India's Economic Integration shows how globalization's pressures favoring efficiency paradoxically induced the state to push for consolidation on a pan-Indian scale in the area of fiscal federalism and to advance the cause of the common market through reforming the indirect tax system; meanwhile, the state has pressed forward with social inclusiveness as never before in its economic planning. For another, the market, too, has been instrumental, because of its widened scope and its inherently expanding character, in strengthening economic integration through trade expansion, diffusion of industry, and increased inter-state migration. Nayar's groundbreaking work will interest students, scholars, and specialists of India, South Asia, globalization, and political economy.
Baldev Raj Nayar is professor emeritus of political science at McGill University. He is the author, coauthor, or editor of nineteen previous books, most recently The Myth of the Shrinking State: Globalization and the State in India.

IMF, EU Review Multi-Billion Dollar Hungary Rescue Package
By Stefan Bos
Hungary says it will not ask for further international aid, despite international concerns over its economic risks. European Union and International Monetary Fund officials have reviewed the effectiveness of a multi-billion-dollar rescue package Hungary received to avoid bankruptcy.
Hungarian Finance Minister Peter Oszko says his recession-hit nation will not need more funding from an international loan because, in his words, Hungary can "drum up financing from the markets on its own."
Officials said the country has used about $19 (billion) of the $25.1 billion in credit it received from the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the World Bank.
Hungary was the first EU-member state to ask for such international assistance to help it avoid economic collapse.
But the head of the IMF delegation in Hungary, James Morsink, made clear tough austerity measures should continue.
"Government debt is now about 80 percent of GDP, which is high compared to other emerging countries," said James Morsink. "With this additional effort in 2011, debt could decline over the next five years to about 65 percent of GDP."
But with a general election scheduled for April there are international concerns about Hungary's economic outlook. Western investors have warned the budget deficit may increase to fulfill campaign promises.
Hungary's center-right Fidesz party, which is leading in the polls, has pledged to reverse unpopular IMF-backed austerity measures.
The head of the delegation of the European Commission, Barbara Kaufmann, said Hungary faces budgetary risks.
"We look for the same determination that we have seen in the past also in the future, also to make sure that the deficit target is met this year and the deficit is brought below three percent next year," said Barbara Kaufmann.
Reducing the budget deficit is a key condition for Hungary to introduce the European currency, the euro, later this decade.
But a major economic crisis in Greece, which had a budget deficit of nearly 13 percent last year, has underscored the vulnerability of the euro-zone.
Kaufmann told VOA News that Greece's troubles should not stop the European Union from allowing emerging market countries, such as Hungary, to adopt the euro.
"We have clear criteria for membership to the euro-zone that we examine case by case," she said. "Obviously right now Hungary does not yet meet those criteria. But I would not say, just because there is Greece, we exclude that at some point other countries will [join] the euro-zone, if they fulfill the criteria."
The economic developments in Hungary are closely monitored in Europe as the euro region buys an estimated 60 percent of products made or assembled in Hungary, including cars and mobile phones.

Q: How to retrieve stage from JavaFX Application Class I am writing an application with 2 different BorderPanes, BorderPane A and BorderPane B.
The application has 2 menuitems, such that, when clicked it HAS to show BorderPane A or BorderPane B.
This is the Application class, which has the stage I want to use
public class SampleApp extends Application {
private Stage primaryStage;

public static void main(final String[] args) {
    launch(args);
}
@Override
public void start(final Stage stage)
        throws Exception {
    final AnnotationConfigApplicationContext context = new  AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(SampleAppFactory.class);
    final SpringFxmlLoader loader = new SpringFxmlLoader(context);
    final Parent root = (Parent) loader.load("Main.fxml", Main.class);
    final Scene scene = new Scene(root, 600, 480, Color.ALICEBLUE);
    this.primaryStage = stage;
    scene.getStylesheets().add("fxmlapp.css");
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.show();
}
}

The Main.java Class has two BorderPanes, when the menuItem is chosen I want to show the borderpane on the Application.
Does someone knows how to show the Borderpane(set the Scene on Stage) from this method(showBorderPane)?
I'd like to retrieve the Stage and set the scene with de borderpane:
public class Main extends BorderPane implements Initializable {

@FXML
private Verbinding verbindingContent; // BORDERPANE A
@FXML
private Beheer beheerContent;// BORDERPANE A
@FXML
private MenuBar menuContent;

@Override
public void initialize(final URL url, final ResourceBundle rb) {
    System.out.println(url);
    menuContent.setFocusTraversable(true);
}

@FXML
private void showBorderPane(final ActionEvent event) {
    final MenuItem menuItem = (MenuItem) event.getSource();
}

@FXML
private void handleCloseAction(final ActionEvent event) {
    System.exit(0);
}

}
my Main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>

<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>
<?import nl.mamaloe.tab.view.Main?>

<fx:define>
    <fx:include source="scene/Beheer.fxml" fx:id="beheerContent" />
    <!-- fx:include source="Menu.fxml" fx:id="menuContent" / -->
</fx:define>
<top>
    <MenuBar fx:id="menuContent" onMouseClicked="#handleKeyInput">
        <menus>
            <Menu text="Systeem">
                <items>
                    <MenuItem text="Verbinding maken" onAction="#handleVerbindingAction"/>
                    <SeparatorMenuItem />
                    <MenuItem text="Afsluiten"  onAction="#handleCloseAction"/>
                </items>
            </Menu>

            <Menu text="TAB">
                <items>
                    <MenuItem text="Script toevoegen" onAction="#handleAboutAction"/>
                    <SeparatorMenuItem />
                    <MenuItem text="Script draaien" />
                </items>
            </Menu>
            <Menu text="About" onAction="#handleAboutAction">
                <items>
                    <MenuItem text="Op basis van wizard" />
                </items>
            </Menu>
        </menus>
    </MenuBar>
</top>
<center>   <Label text="Add New Dock of Home" />

</center>

I've seen it is possible to do this from the start method of the application.
But I'd like to implement it in the Main.java because of structure and I am using mainly FXML to declare the GUI.

A: When the "Main.fxml" file is loaded by FXMLLoader, a new BorderPane (defined in Main.fxml) is created. The loader also creates/initializes its controller class which is another BorderPane-derived class with its own instance. So there are two different instances of BorderPanes. Your design is a bit different from general approach though, to achieve your goal, I suggest to add a container into center in FXML file like this:
<center>
    <StackPane fx:id="pane">
        <children>
              <Label text="Add New Dock of Home" />
        </children>
    </StackPane>
</center>

You can change the StackPane with any pane/layout you want.
Next make a link to it in the controller class:
@FXML
private StackPane pane;

and you should remove "extends BorderPane" because it is no sense anymore. Finally,
@FXML
private void showBorderPane(final ActionEvent event) {
    final MenuItem menuItem = (MenuItem) event.getSource();
    pane.getChildren().clear(); // Clear old content.
    switch (menuItem.getText()) {
        case "Borderpane A":
            pane.getChildren().add(borderPaneA);
            break;
        case "Borderpane B":
            pane.getChildren().add(borderPaneB);
            break;
       default:
            pane.getChildren().add(new Label("Add New Dock of Home"));
    }
}

Scooter	Buy This Song
Scooter are a German techno hard dance group founded in Hamburg, who have sold over 25 million records and earned over 80 gold and platinum awards. Scooter are considered the most successful German single-record act with 23 top ten hits. The group is currently composed of members H.P. Baxxter, Rick J. Jordan and Michael Simon. Although most of the group's early recordings are in the styles of happy hardcore or hard trance, Scooter have experimented with other dance genres such as hardstyle and jumpstyle, and occasionally hip hop,hard rock and house. more »
Jumping is an ability that most humans and many animals share to some degree.
It is the process of getting ones body off the ground for a short time using only ones own power
Usually by propelling oneself upwards by contraction and then forceful extension of the legs
In some cases the height of a jump may be increased by using a trampoline
Or by pushing down with the arms whilst playing leapfrog
One can jump up to reach something high
Or jump over a fence or ditch
Or jump down and one can jump whilst dancing
And as a sport
But jump also is the synonym for an exciting style of dancing just to freak out for sometime
Now listen to the sounds of Michael, Rick and the Chicks Terminator.
Please Jump

Why Are Worms Coming Out Оf Strawberries In This Viral Video? An Expert Explains
 June 16, 2020 |  Fruits |  0 |
Social media have become a place where people often share tutorials and tips that have helped them improve their lives and ease their everyday living. Videos shared on TikTok revealing a strawberry-cleaning trick have recently become viral.
Namely, one video showed soaking fresh strawberries in a bowl of salt water and several small, white worm-like creatures crawling out and floating to the surface.
One Buzzfeed reporter, Krista Torress, decided to check the method, and when bugs did emerge from the berries, she said she was "horrified"!
Soon afterward, Lauren Mackenzie shared her horrifying results as well, and the trend has since progressed to Facebook as well. This frightened many, and people started questioning whether it is safe to eat fresh fruits.
The insects that appear in the video are the maggots of an invasive species of fly called the spotted wing drosophila (SWD). They have a serrated egg-laying device known as an ovipositor, which allows them to lay eggs inside ripe, undamaged fruit.
Small fruit crop entomologist, Sriyanka Lahiri, Ph.D., an assistant professor at the University of Florida, explains that when the maggots hatch, they go on feeding off of the inside of the berry.
"The maggots go largely undetected during harvest. Since common fruit flies can only lay their eggs in softening, damaged, or rotting fruit, the maggots hitchhiking inside fresh-looking fruit definitely belong to the SWD species."
She also says that these insects are particularly attracted to strawberries as a result of the yeast and sugar water solution commonly used as a monitoring device during berry production.
Lahiri adds that nothing can be done when the eggs have been laid, but one can prevent them from laying eggs in the first place:
"Timely picking of ripe fruits, removal of rotting fruits, and burial of damaged fruits are good cultural practices to control SWD because these flies are attracted to a fermenting fruity smell."
Eating a few maggots won't harm you. Yet, eating them might make you prone to whatever that larvae were exposed to.
People in some countries even eat maggots as they are rich in fat and protein, but they are preciously cooked, to lower the potential that they could be carrying microbes, parasites, or bacteria.
Currently, their consumption can bring about more risks than benefits, so Lahiri recommends thoroughly washing all of your fresh fruits and vegetables and soaking them in water for a prolonged period of time, before eating them.
As the maggots live deep inside the fruit, rinsing only will not eliminate them completely, so Lahiri says that "staying submerged in water might force a few of them out."
Yet, she adds that she is not sure whether salt water makes it a more effective method. She even says that she is unsure that "the fresh strawberry taste will remain the same after being submerged in saltwater for too long."
She assures that eating a few maggots occasionally will not dramatically impact our health.
"Although the sight of translucent worms crawling out of a fresh strawberry fruit might not be appealing, there are no known ill effects of eating them," says Lahiri. In fact, if you accidentally consumed some maggots, all you did was get some extra animal protein in your salad or fruit shake.
We would need an insane amount of pesticides to follow a zero maggot/grub tolerance policy in our food, which is neither environmentally friendly nor beneficial for human health. Having pesticide residue on our food versus having to ingest some extra animal protein can be considered as a fair trade-off."
Therefore, we should all rinse our produce well before use, soak strawberries in water for some time, and then we can freely enjoy their delicious taste.

Customs impounds eight smuggled vehicles in Ogun
Shulammite 'Foyeku
The Ogun Area Command of the Nigeria Customs Service, has said four operatives of the Command were injured as the Command impounded eight second-hand vehicles and a new Toyota Hilux in communities in Idiroko border area.
The Controller of the Command, Sani Madugu, said this at the Command's Idiroko border office while reviewing its activities in one week on Thursday.
Other smuggled vehicles impounded were Toyota Tundra, Toyota Hybrid Prius, Toyota Sienna, Golf 3, Toyota Highlander, and Toyota Hilux.
Madugu said the operatives were attacked when they went to one of the villages along the border route to effect the seizure of a Toyota Hilux hid there by smugglers.
He said the smugglers, on sighting the operatives, started hurling stones and other dangerous objects at them, and in the process, they injured four of them.
The Customs boss said, "We had an intelligence report that a new Toyota Hilux smuggled into the country from the Republic of Benin was being hid in a village along the border route.
"When our operatives got there and they wanted to recover the smuggled vehicle, the smugglers started hurling stones and other dangerous objects at them.
"In the process, four operatives were injured and the operational vehicle was also damaged.
"Two of the operatives are still receiving treatment in the hospital while the other two have been discharged.
"I don't want to mention the name of the village because investigation is still on. We will get all those who were involved."
Madugu also said within one week, 1,479 bags of rice, 78 kegs of 25 litres of vegetable oil and nine vehicles used as the means of conveyance, were also seized.
He said the duty payable on all the seized vehicles was N84.06m.
Madugu said the command would continue to step up its anti-smuggling activities in the state.

CIS Certification – Remediation
CIS (Center for Internet Security) Security Software Vendor-Remediation (SSV-R) Membership provides companies eligibility to certify their security remediation product(s) subsequent to adapting such product(s) to accurately remediate an IT system's/asset's configuration in conformance with the security recommendations of an associated CIS Security Benchmark profile. Below are the steps an SSV-R Member must take to prepare, submit and obtain a CIS Certification Award.
CIS requires that an SSV-R Member submit for CIS Certification against the most recently published version of a CIS Benchmark. However, CIS does recognize that an SSV-R Member may be in the process of completing the necessary product testing when an update to a Benchmark is released by CIS. Under these circumstances, CIS will accept submission for Certification against the previous Benchmark version with the understanding that (1) the submission is made within 60 days of the most recent Benchmark version release; and (2) the SSV-R Member submits a follow-on product Certification/Recertification request for the current version of the CIS Benchmark within 90 days of that most recent Benchmark version release.
The CIS Member SHALL NOT represent any of its product's support/compliance for a given CIS Benchmarks as "CIS Certification pending," or similar verbiage.
A certification constitutes one CIS Benchmark and one Profile.
Steps to Submit
Submit one certification per email with the following information:
[Company] Product & Version: ____________________________
CIS Benchmark(s) & Profile(s): ____________________________
Contact person for Certification: ____________________________
A brief description of your security software product that is being submitted for CIS Remediation Certification;
A brief description of the internal remediation process that effectively demonstrates how your security software product accurately and thoroughly remediates an IT system/asset in accordance with the relevant CIS Benchmark(s) and Profile(s);
Provide proof of remediation. Please ensure that your remediation settings recognize that CIS Benchmarks are minimum due diligence security standards. Thus, a technical security control(s) that is configured for a higher level of security than that recommended by a particular Benchmark's recommendation(s) is considered to be in compliance with that particular Benchmark. Results of remediation can be provided to CIS in one of the following ways:
Provide recording of your tools ability to remediate a system showing a system not in conformance, the applied remediation and the remediated system in conformance with specific benchmark(s) Video not to exceed 15 minutes and should only include evidence of remediation only.
Provide CIS Support access to a lab environment with your security software product installed for testing product's remediation capabilities by including process for access in your submission.
Utilize Certification Spreadsheets to provide results of a system not in compliance and at the remediated state. Download the required certification spreadsheet from the CIS WorkBench by selecting "SSV" in the Tag area within the Download section.
The report/spreadsheet will contain the following data attributes:
CIS Benchmark Recommendation #
CIS Benchmark Recommendation Title
Actual State (Pass/Fail)
Failure State (Fail) This column should only include the fail status. Failures for each recommendation shows that the tool is capable of assessing each recommendation when it is not applied.
Remediated State (Pass/Fail) This column can include either pass or fail. Any failures indicated in this column must be followed with:
a detailed explanation of the failure;
Exceptions provided should only be presented if a certain recommendation inhibits the SSV Member's tool from performance. No exceptions beyond those inhibiting performance will be accepted. CIS reserves the right to deny any Certifications based upon the exceptions provided. See Exception section listed below.
Request for the recommendations exemption; and
If possible other mitigation factors that can be applied in place of the recommendation.
A list of any CIS Benchmark recommendation(s) for which your security software product does not remediate. Please include an explanation for any such CIS Benchmark recommendation(s) regarding why your security software product does not remediate for that recommendation(s).
Submit this information to support@cisecurity.org.
Award of CIS Certification and Timeline
CIS Certification attests that your security software product's remediation capability enables a user to apply the associated CIS Benchmark's security configuration recommendations to the relevant IT system/asset.
CIS Certification attests that a specific major version of your security software remediation product accurately applies all of the scored recommendations in a specific, corresponding version of a CIS Benchmark and in the associated version of the CIS Configuration Assessment Tool (CIS-CAT) used to verify such IT system/asset remediation.
CIS Certification does not attest to your security software product's ability to perform any other functions, including checking/scoring/reporting conformance/comparison with CIS Benchmark unless CIS Certification for such checking/scoring/reporting has also been awarded to your security software product.
Award of CIS Certification is based initially on CIS's review of a Certification application and supporting materials that detail the testing and preparation conducted by your company.
Depending on the number of CIS Certifications requested and when CIS receives an application for Certification(s), CIS's review is generally completed within two weeks.
If there are issues that need to be addressed by your company, the time between your initial submission and award of CIS Certification(s) may take longer than two weeks.
CIS may also contract for independent third party validation of a CIS-Certified security software product's ability to meet Certification requirements. However, an initial award of CIS Certification will not be contingent upon the completion of any third party testing.
You may release your product(s) with the CIS SSV-R Member "Certified" Logo only after the respective product(s) has been awarded CIS Certification. CIS will provide the logo with the Certification award email.
Recertification for Remediation
Recertifications differ from Certifications in that they are not deducted from an SSV-R Member's allotted annual Certification total.
Recertification applies when product/offering:
Has not been altered in any way that may impact the product's ability to accurately remediate a given asset's conformance with the CIS Benchmark(s) version(s) and profile(s) for which Recertification is being submitted;
Is not a major version release of the product;* and
Has previously received Certification for the CIS Benchmark(s) version(s) and profile(s) being submitted.
Please note that a major version release of a CIS Benchmark requires a new CIS Certification. (An example of a "major version release" would be the release of CIS Windows 7 Benchmark v2.0.0 to replace the previous version of CIS Windows 7 Benchmark v1.2.0.)
*In certain circumstances, a major version release of a product may occur but without changes having been made to the product's ability to remediate a given IT system/asset's conformance with the CIS Benchmark(s) version(s) and profile(s) for which the product is being submitted for Recertification. If this is the case and the Recertification is for the CIS Benchmark(s) version(s) and profile(s) previously Certified, then a Recertification request may be submitted. For this type of Recertification, CIS will request a lab environment for the particular technology. Please contact CIS at support@cisecurity.org if you have any questions.
Steps to Submit for Recertification
To submit for Recertification, please submit your request to support@cisecurity.org using the following email template:
[Begin email template]
By submitting this request for CIS Recertification, [Company] agrees that the Product/Tool being submitted for Recertification:
[Company] would like to apply for Recertification for the following:
Contact person for Recertification: __________________________
This submission for Recertification is in compliance with the Recertification requirements included above and in conformance with the CIS Certification Membership Agreement.
[End email template]
It is CIS's intent to provide and preserve membership equity and value. We understand that certain circumstances may not be addressed in the processes defined here. If you have any questions or particular circumstances related to your product and Certification requirements that not addressed in this document, please contact CIS at support@cisecurity.org, and we would be happy to discuss your particular circumstance and address your issues accordingly.

October 4, 2020 - January 10, 2021
Hunterdon Art Museum & Peters Valley School of Craft are pleased to present, "From the Ground Up," the first-ever exhibition examining Peters Valley's fifty-year history and key moments that have defined the institution – from its earliest formation as an experimental craft colony, to the building of its renowned Japanese wood-fired or Anagama kiln in 1980, to the prominence of women blacksmiths at Peters Valley in the early 2000s.
The exhibition will run in the galleries of the Hunterdon Art Museum from October 4, 2020 – January 10, 2021.
The exhibition is curated by Elizabeth Essner. "From the Ground Up" will combine historical ephemera with significant works in fiber, jewelry, ceramics, wood, photography, and metal by artists involved at Peters Valley, as well as on-site artist residencies to allow further engagement with artists working in craft-based materials.
Selected artists whose work will be in the exhibition are Vivian Beer, Bruce Dehnert, Fawn Navasie, Luci Jockel, Kirk Mangus, Emil Milan, Shiro Otani, Malcolm Mobutu Smith, Stephen Shore, Toshiko Takaezu, Louise Todd Cope, MJ Tyson, and Andrew Willner.
Set in the wooded landscape of the Delaware Water Gap National Park in Layton, NJ, Peters Valley was first proposed in 1970 as a planned colony of artists and craftspeople. The resident blacksmiths, ceramists, fiber artists, metalsmiths, woodworkers, and photographers who populated the site's 18th and 19th-century buildings created a vibrant community engaged in creating. Over time, as Peters Valley's educational mission moved from the margins to the center, it grew into the craft school it is today, which brings together artists of local, national, and international renown with students for immersive materials-based workshops.
This exhibition was made possible in part by a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this exhibition do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or NJCH. Additional support for this exhibition was provided by the Windgate Foundation, the Marie and John Zimmermann Fund. The exhibition catalogue was funded by the Windgate Foundation and John Sheridan and Andrea DuFlon.

Valley rally to raise funds for the bushfire communities
Moonee Valley Cricket Club raised a magnificent $8900 from our Bushfire Benefit event on February 18 – and the total's rising as the extra pledges are collected.
It was an excellent event and a wonderful showcase for Moonee Valley, with the crowd estimate of at least 500.
And let's not forget the other clubs and their players who worked hand-in-hand with us to make the Twenty20 challenge and the fundraising a reality – Greenvale, Craigieburn and Aberfeldie Park lads formed the Rest of the World team.
Cricket's the winner! The players from Moonee Valley and Rest of the World mingle happily together after the match.
And the excitement didn't stop there, as our Moonee Valley women's cricketers conscripted in a few juniors to boost the numbers as they held their own Twenty20 game on the adjoining oval.
As Moonee Valley president Charlie Walker said, the impetus for the fundraiser came not from the committee but from the players.
Moonee Valley First Eleven captain Mark Gauci led from the front in organizing the event, and the players from the other three clubs put their hands up and pledged to play even before they went back to their own committees.
Our local reps
Support was widespread, with our local representatives well to the fore.
The State Member for Essendon, Judy Maddigan is a long-time supporter of the Moonee Valley Sporting Club and our cricket club.
Moonee Valley councillor Jim Cusack is a Moonee Valley bowler, parent of a former Moonee Valley cricket junior and staunch supporter of everything we do at Ormond Park.
Shown here are (L-R) Essendon MP Judy Maddigan, Club president Charlie Walker and Moonee Valley councillor Jim Cusack.
And the Federal Member for Maribyrnong, Bill Shorten arrived at the event later on and pledged his support for our Club.
Clubs and sportsmen
Essendon footballer Scott Lucas spent some time watching the matches, while Melbourne Cricket Club First Eleven bowler Sean Sturrock came back to Moonee Valley to bolster our effort against the Rest of the World.
Sean played his junior cricket at Moonee Valley, and brother Cameron and dad Garry still turn out when available in our one-day teams.
Hamming it up for the camera on our wood-fired barbecue are players Allan Cumming (left) and Bob Sciacchitano, with John Brelis in the background.
We also welcomed back as a spectator former Moonee Valley coach Rex Bennett, now coaching St Bernards. Rex was an interested onlooker for the game, as was Craigieburn junior co-ordinator Gerard Laffan.
Several Tullamarine players also came down to support the effort, while a contingent of women cricketers from Campbellfield (left) also showed their solidarity by attending.
Our partners in the Moonee Valley Sporting Club were also strongly in attendance, with Valley football and bowls players and officials backing up our effort.
Thanks also to umpires Ray Musgrove and Pat Campbell from the Moreland Moonee Valley Umpires Association, who donated their time to adjudicate in our matches.
The umpires presided over a minute's silence before the start of each of the matches in honor of those lost in the 2009 inferno.
Our "Carlton Connection" was also in attendance, with cricket Seconds team manager Tony Gleeson and past president Gary Schickerling attending.

It's time to axe the bar exam
The exam can be an unfair barrier for people with mental illness. And our profession would be better off without it
By Melissa Kluger
I can remember a few things about the bar exam: the cavernous Metro Toronto Convention Centre packed with desks as far as the eye could see, the relief of seeing a few familiar faces among the throngs of test takers and that the open-book test was mainly about the speed at which I could look things up. But I don't remember much else. I certainly can't recall the content of the test. At this point, I'd even be at a loss to tell you the topics the exam covered.
So what's the point of the bar exam? I think it's supposed to prevent people who aren't particularly bright from entering the profession. That's not true, though. What it really does is identify which would-be lawyers are bad at taking tests.
And one group struggles disproportionately with high-stakes exams: those with a mental illness. They are just as likely as anyone to be super bright, but some of them find tests to be a real challenge. The pressure to perform might cloud their thinking or cause them to freeze. I know a soon-to-be-lawyer who suffers from anxiety and, as I type this note, she's rewriting her bar exam. I hope she passes. But if she doesn't, it won't be because she doesn't know her shit or would make a bad lawyer. It'll be because her condition interfered with her ability to write the test. This is deeply unfair.
I'm not categorically opposed to professional entrance exams. For instance, if the Law Society could design a test that could weed out everyone who will go on to sexually harass their colleagues or steal money from their clients, I'd be on board. But no such test exists. So why have one at all?
I thought about this as we put the finishing touches on this issue of Precedent. In our cover story, "The untold history of the legal profession," we delve into the sexist, racist and anti-Semitic underpinnings on which our profession has been built. This history makes it clear that the gatekeepers of our profession have, time and time again, put up barriers that keep marginalized groups out — or, at the very least, make it incredibly hard for them to get in.
But we shouldn't look at our past and take comfort in how much better things are today. In fact, our history shows that we continue to make the same mistakes. The bar exam is a prime example. It is an arbitrary test that effectively serves to exclude those suffering from mental illness from the profession. As the gatekeepers of our time, it's on us to shake up history. Let's start by ditching the exam.

HC at Southern Miss
Campus Celebrity: Michael Morrison
By Brianna McBride-Cook • Southern Miss Contributor October 30, 2013 at 3:59pm
Her Campus caught up with Michael Morrison, a graduate student who recently performed in the musical Rent.
rsz_img_0161.jpg
Her Campus: When did you first realize you wanted to be an actor? What did you do to pursue that goal?
Michael Morrison: I tried out for my high school's soccer team and auditioned for the school musical, Bye Bye Birdie, in the same week. I absolutely hated the soccer try outs (and did not make the team). However, I had a blast at the musical auditions. It was fun, challenging, and the community of people was eclectic. I loved being on stage since I was a kid, played in the worship band at church, and had been in church plays; this seemed like a natural transition. I knew I could engage an audience, and I saw, even at 15, that you could positively affect people with art. A person can come in a theatre, and see a play, concert, or show of any kind and escape from all the crap they have been through that week. They can laugh, cry, remember what it was like to be in love; it truly is a place that can have a profound impact and be an instrument of inspiration or change. I wanted to be an actor because it gave me a chance to do something I loved, and truly impact people in a profound way. Also, like I said…it's a blast.
HC: Where did you graduate and what degrees do you have? What degree are you working on now?
MM: I graduated from Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in Music and Theatre Performance and a minor in Recording Industry. I almost had a minor in Dance in Movement, but that would have taken another semester, and let's just say that every one of those dance/movement classes was a lesson in humility. Currently I am working on and Masters of Fine Arts in Theatre Performance. It is a three-year program, in which I am in my second year.
HC: What is a typical day for you?
MM: I wake up, usually late, and then rush to the theatre building. I teach a Theatre Appreciation class to non-theatre majors at 9 am. I spend time in the grad office going over scripts, memorizing lines, grading, rehearsing for class projects, talking (I love to talk), and like any good actor I procrastinate on everything. I go to various performance based classes, such as graduate acting studio, movement, voice, and seminar. Then, usually I have rehearsal for whatever show I am in that semester from 6:30-10:30.
HC: As an actor, how do you prepare yourself for a production?
MM: Read the script. Then, I do a character analysis and write out things like, what the character wants, who they are, and their relationship with every character in the show. I also do a script analysis and mark changes in perspective, intent, and motivation. I talk with other actors that play characters that my character interacts with and we discuss our relationship on stage. I talk with the director and get their perspective on the character and ask what liberties I am able to take in rehearsal. Then I define the physical, behavioral, and vocal life of the character. After that, it is rehearse, rehearse, and more rehearsing and seeing what works and what does not. I should also note that, I believe that every play has a meaning and every role has a distinct purpose. I try to find that out through organic discovery and analysis. Also, I try to figure out the message of each play and how my character plays into that, and what parts of my character can truly connect with the audience, and how I as an actor hope to portray that character in an authentic way, as believable as possible. I hope that at least part of my portrayal will truly connect with someone in the audience. Art finds its value in the reaction of the audience. I want them to connect, react, whether positively, or negatively, I want the audience to take something home, something that is more than just entertainment, or beautifully performed art.
HC: Tell me about Rent. Who did you play? How do you think you did? How do you think the entire performance went?
MM: Rent is a play centered around the AIDS epidemic, specifically in the late 80's/early 90's in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City. How does one live, when everything about this disease they have contracted says that they should have died last year, last month, last week. In that we see that AIDS is not a disease contracted on the basis of committing acts of "immoral degradation" as certain politicians and pastors have said in history. No, it is simply a disease that is contracted, by people living their life. It is horrible, and the people who have had to live with this disease are fighting for their lives. Also, it is a play about love, and how the way in which we love people truly affects them, for better, or for worse. When we use our bitterness, wounds, differences, or circumstances as an excuse to not love people, we are not only hurting them, but ourselves.
I played Benjamin Coffin, the Third. He is the antagonist of the musical. He instigates a lot of conflict in the show. Even though he is the antagonist and does some bad things out of anger. He is an antagonist that has heart and truly loves the people he is putting himself against. He tries to reach out to them, he wants to be a part of the group he feels ostracized from, he is conflicted, he is hurting, he wants to grow up and make a living with his art, and that is what causes him to be the antagonist.
I think I did well. I wanted the audience to see that my character was not just a jerk, that he had heart. I wanted them to be conflicted, I wanted them to be able to see that even those who hurt us, or cause issues in our lives are often reacting from wounds, and do have good in them. I got that response from the audience members that talked to me, so I am guessing I was successful.
We sold out the entire run and had standing ovations each night. I am thinking that means we did ok. People seemed to be very moved by our work, even people who I knew did not like the show beforehand, or the musical was not their cup of tea.
HC: What other productions have you performed in?
MM: I have been musicals such as Assassins, Sweeney Todd, Anything Goes, Ragtime, and Oklahoma. I have been in straight plays such as Firebugs, A Christmas Carol, King Lear, Julius Caesar, L'histoire Du Soldat, and Man Who Came To Dinner. I have also performed for Lifeway Christian Resources, Star Wars In Concert, and Student Life Camps.
HC: What do you hope to do after you have received your degree?
MM: I hope to establish myself in a city and become a predominant actor in that city. After that, I would like to start my own theatre company that creates original works based on faith that are full of depth and not cheesy and actually tackle pressing issues that are often not talked about. Also I'd like to perform in a Broadway national tour and eventually teach at a college.
HC: What advice would you give to aspiring actors and actresses?
MM: Don't give up! It is a hard career path to follow. There is a lot rejection and crazy things that you will have to deal with. However, it is worth it. You get to create something that makes the world a better place and enhances people's lives. You get to be creative and play different roles every day. Keep at it. Push yourself in every aspect. Don't give up. Also, don't define yourself in the role you get but in how you perform that role and the type of artist you are to work with.

Brianna McBride-Cook (Southern Miss)
Hi! If you're reading this I suppose you want to know a bit more about me. Well, I was born and raised in a small town called Pelahatchie (it's ok if you don't know where that is), and I am currently an English major at Southern Miss. I love fantasy and science fiction books, and I am currently writing several series (although most are just ideas in my head). I LOVE football and a part of me always dies when football season is over. I love video games, but I'm not that good at playing. Other than that, I'm just your average college student. Most of my thoughts are expressed through the articles I've posted and will post. If you like my work so far, keep reading! I love you!

How She Got There


During the summer Holiday we organise a four week special Qur'an training course with Tajweed. By completing this 6 year intensive Qirat course a learner qualifies as a 'Qari'. Alhamdulillah, many students have completed the course over the years.


After twenty years on the front lines in the war against poverty on the mean streets of Cote Des Neiges, people at the MultiCaf project are still working hard to provide basic food security and social support networks for the district's poor. Decades after the organization first opened its doors, MultiCaf is still working hard to help empower the local residents through an assortment of social action initiatives with a number of new programs aimed at feeding the poor and the disabled. As one of the borough's foremost social and economic activists, Outremont businessman Francois Pilon said he was more than impressed with everything the MultiCaf people were doing in their district.
During a brief interview, program director Alain Landry said he was just as surprised as he was proud of what his organization achieved over the past few years. Apart from everything else the MUltiCaf project does in the borough, Landry and his executive are determined to make sure basic food security issues remain at the core of the organization's social mission. From nothing more than a tiny storefront organization with little money and lots of good intentions, Multicaf now employs up to a dozen people who provide up to 300 balanced meals per day, manage a food bank, operate a 'meals on wheels' program, provide baby formula for impoverished mothers while running a second-hand clothing store for the district's poor who can't afford to buy new clothes.
"We get a lot of help from various organizations," said Landry. "Centraide and the borough do a lot to help us maintain our operations but nothing could be done without our volunteers." As of last year, Landry said 268 volunteers contributed over 32 000 hours of unpaid labor on a daily basis as they helped cook and serve meals, deliver food for the 'meals on wheels' program, run the food bank and open the center's new school lunch project.
While MultiCaf does a lot to make sure nobody starves in the Darlington district of Cote Des Neiges, the district is still the second poorest area in the city where nearly 90 000 people live in an area that is one quarter the size of Westmount or Hampstead. As a former community activist, Pierre Balcer's poem, La Pauvreté pour moi, said it all. Apart from its harrowing description of the scorched souls and the humiliation of being forced to scrounge for a restaurant's leftovers, Balcer's poem reflects the grim realities of what it really means to starve while walking the streets of Montreal. As one of the organization's working executives, MultiCaf executive Jean Pierre Laniel said it's sad but the public still can't understand how bad luck and a few weeks are all that left between someone's last paycheck and life on the streets. As far as Laniel is concerned, very few people know what really happens when the money runs out and there's still two weeks to go before the government's next check.
During last week's reception held in the district's popular community center, project executives made sure all the community's leaders, local police officers and various activists had a place at the table for their party. Even as over 100 guests shared a dinner which included roast duck on a bed of long-grain rice and vegetables, more than a few people noticed how few, if any, of the borough's politicians were at the dinner. Eventually, after presenting his excuses because of a city executive council meeting that stretched into the early evening, borough Mayor Michael Applebaum did show up between the main course and dessert after which he praised and sincerely thanked both Landry and everyone in the MultiCaf organization for all they do for the people in the district and for the rest of the borough.

Stocks Jump After Fed Indicates Patience on Rate Increases
The midafternoon Fed announcement added to early gains as traders welcomed positive results
By Damian J. Troise and Alex Veiga	• Published at 5:54 am on January 30, 2019
Richard Drew/AP
Stocks powered higher Wednesday after the Federal Reserve signaled it could hold off on interest rate increases in the coming months, citing muted inflation.
The Fed's announcement allays one of the biggest concerns for investors: That the economy, and corporate profits, could be hurt if the Fed continued to steadily increase interest rates after raising them four times last year.
"The Fed gave the market everything it wanted in terms of a dovish message," said Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Baird. "Now it's saying maybe there will be rate hikes, maybe there won't be."
Technology companies drove the broad rally, which snapped the market's two-day losing streak. The benchmark S&P 500 index is now track to end January with its biggest monthly gain in more than three years, and the gains pushed the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 25,000 points for the first time since early December.
The midafternoon Fed announcement added to early gains as traders welcomed positive results and outlooks from several big companies including Boeing.
The aerospace giant soared after blowing away analysts' forecasts for earnings and as its annual revenue topped $100 billion for the first time. The gain in Boeing's stock accounted for about a third of the 434-point gain in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
The S&P 500 index rose 41.05 points, or 1.6 percent, to 2,681.05. The Dow gained 434.90 points, or 1.8 percent, to 25,014.86.
The Nasdaq composite climbed 154.79 points, or 2.2 percent, to 7,183.08. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies picked up 15.49 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,486.94. The Russell is up more than 10 percent this month.
Jitters over the ongoing U.S.-China trade conflict, uncertainty over the path of interest rates and signs of a weakening global economy helped knock the market into a steep slump in December that left the S&P 500 index 9.2 percent lower for the month. The market has since rebounded, with the index is now on track to end January with a 7 percent gain. That would be the biggest monthly increase since October 2015.
While concerns over trade and the health of the global economy remain, the Fed further signaled a shift in its stance from December, when it indicated additional rate hikes were likely in 2019.
"Stocks are certainly celebrating an increasingly friendly message from the Fed," Delwiche said. "It's not just a more measured pace in rate hikes, but it's questioning whether or not there will be additional rate hikes."
With pressures on the U.S. economy rising — a global slowdown, a trade war with China, a nervous stock market — the Fed signaled Wednesday that it is in no hurry to resume raising interest rates. And with inflation remaining tame, the rationale to tighten credit has become less compelling.
"The situation calls for patience," Chairman Jerome Powell said at a news conference. "We have the luxury to be patient."
The Fed's benchmark short-term rate will remain in a range of 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent after having been raised four times last year. The central bank also said it is prepared to slow the reduction of its bond holdings if needed to support the economy. That would put downward pressure on long-term interest rates such as mortgages.
Stocks opened with a rally as investors welcomed some encouraging corporate earnings reports.
Boeing surged 6.3 percent to $387.72 after the company delivered more planes and racked up a significant amount of government contracts during the fourth quarter. Revenue surged 14 percent as the company delivered more commercial and military planes. Profit and revenue topped expectations.
Apple rose 6.8 percent to $165.25 after traders brushed off a slide in iPhone sales. The technology giant's latest results met Wall Street's diminished expectations.
Anthem, the nation's second-largest health insurer, soared 9.1 percent to $297.56 on an upbeat forecast for 2019.
Corporate earnings have so far been holding up in the face of the global slowdown and trade conflicts. So far, roughly a quarter of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported results for the final three months of 2018. Of those, some 77 percent delivered earnings growth that topped Wall Street's expectations. Some, though, are lowering expectations for 2019.
Trade talks opened Wednesday between the U.S. and China and will loom over the market for the remainder of the week. The high-level talks are aimed at settling a monthslong trade war that has raised fears of slower economic growth. Industrial and technology companies have warned about slowing sales because of the trade impasse.
U.S. crude oil rose 1.7 percent to settle at $54.23 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, added 0.5 percent to close at $61.65 per barrel in London.
Bond prices rose. The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.67 percent from 2.71 percent late Tuesday.
The dollar weakened to 108.92 yen from 109.28 yen on Tuesday. The euro rose against the dollar to $1.1492 from $1.1427.
Gold rose 0.1 percent to $1,309.90 an ounce. Silver added 0.6 percent to $15.93 an ounce. Copper gained 1.6 percent to $2.77 a pound.
In other energy futures trading, wholesale gasoline rose 2.3 percent to $1.38 a gallon. Heating oil was little changed at $1.90 a gallon. Natural gas fell 1.7 percent to $2.85 per 1,000 cubic feet.
