Census chief tries to ease immigrants' fears in Texas
February 11, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly
By Paul J. Weber
LAREDO, Texas (AP) — Police cars and large white vans rumbled down the unpaved road toward the ramshackle houses, where illegal immigrants are among hundreds living in a slapdash Texas neighborhood, or colonia, called San Carlos.
U.S. Census Bureau Director Robert Groves emerged from the caravan on Feb. 1 with a message: You can trust us.
His entrance didn't convince everyone.
"When they saw the uniforms of the sheriff's department, some got scared," said Maria Aguirre, a longtime resident of San Carlos, which she said has about 300 people.
That anxiety among immigrants illustrates one of the biggest obstacles facing the Census Bureau this year which is persuading those residents most afraid of the government to participate in the decennial count.
The stakes are high. An accurate head count in the 2010 census could mean millions more in federal dollars for a community or redrawing legislative boundaries. Undercounting could leave states shortchanged.
Border counties, flush with residents fearful of being turned over to immigration agents, are historically among the most undercounted. The Census Bureau ranks Webb County — where Laredo is located — among the nation's hardest-to-count areas, joining a list that includes rural places in Alaska and South Dakota.
Speaking to about a dozen colonia residents, many of whom only speak Spanish, Groves tried to allay their fears. He stressed that census data will be kept confidential and will not be turned over to other agencies.
"If the president asked me for your census form, I can say, 'No, you can't get it,'" Groves told the crowd. "If I violate that law, I can go to prison."
Groves visited the colonia with Democratic U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, who said his district, which includes Laredo, lost more than $55 million in federal dollars during the last census because of undercounting.
An estimated 373,000 people in Texas weren't counted in the 2000 census. Cuellar said Texas could pick up as many as four congressional seats if every household is properly counted.
Cuellar told colonia residents that citizenship status is not asked on the 10-question form, the shortest in census history. Seventy percent of recent population growth in Texas is Latino, Cuellar said.
"This is where the greatest needs are," Cuellar said. "Look at the poverty level. A lot of these folks make less than $10,000 a year."
Colonias — Spanish for "neighborhoods" — began appearing in Texas in the 1950s, when developers found they could sell land deemed useless for agriculture to immigrants eager for something to call their own.
Plots were sold without water lines, sewers, or trash collection services.
Laws have since been passed to improve conditions in colonias. But conditions remain rough and poor.
Neighboring the San Carlos colonia are a landfill and wrecker yards for junk cars.
Aguirre, a mother of two who has lived in San Carlos since she was 12, said distrust of authority runs deep among residents. When people leave to buy food, for instance, Aguirre said they wait until patrol cars have made their rounds.
"They don't walk to the store," Aguirre said. "They kind of rush."
A report released earlier this month by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund criticized the Census Bureau for not doing enough to reassure immigrants that the count isn't an investigation.
Groves said the bureau is trying to get that message across through advertising as the count gets under way in most of the country next month. But he said familiar faces will have the biggest impact.
Groves, for instance, likely wouldn't have been greeted by many people were it not for a trusted colonia resident who reassured her neighbors.
"When it comes down to the decision of should I open my door to a census taker or not, I think, overwhelmingly, the most powerful thing is hearing the words from a trusted voice," Groves said. ♦

The thieves used tools to break into the cash machine and remove cash boxes last night (Friday 10th) at 11:30pm. They left some of the tools and cash boxes at the scene.
As they made off in their silver Audi estate, the men collided with a Police vehicle, injuring three officers. The officers were taken to hospital where two of them were treated for whiplash and the third for arm, rib and stomach injuries which kept him in overnight.
One of the offenders was arrested at the scene but it's believed there were two others involved.
Staffordshire Police are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident or who has information that may help to contact Tamworth CID on 01785 234 961 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.


Yesterday I used my new range for the first time. I cut up my onions, garlic, peppers, carrots, had water boiling for pasta, and began to use a second burner to sauté meticulously sliced and diced vegetables. Only I noticed when I turned on the second burner, the first one's flame decreased by half. When I turned on the third burner, all three flames dwindled. When all four burners were lit, I had barely a candle-sized flame.
I find the number to call my range manufacturer and after five minutes of computerized prompts and five more minutes of waiting, a recording tells me it's higher than normal call volume and would I consider calling back later.
I finally get someone on the phone. I explain my situation; she has a very heavy accent and is reading scripted responses to my questions. Except the responses don't solve my problem.
She is reading the Troubleshooting page from the instructional manual, which I had finished reading cover to cover before I called.
Not to discount multitasking; in the hold time, I emptied the dishwasher, made an egg and cheese sandwich (on toasted bread), ate said sandwich, replied to a work email, and watched one of my cats (my least favorite, if forced to pick) sit on the top of the new custom wooden dining room chair until it tipped over and cracked in half.
Sorry, Husband, who is my editor, and finding out this way.
This is why I don't call customer service. It never works. You never call a number and get a pleasant representative who has the answer to your question. They spew follow up questions and statements and suspicions and lots of typing and holding and then referrals elsewhere.
This is why it's better to just deal with an insufficient gas flow. Maybe there's a grand reason for it all. Maybe I'll create a television series on one-burner wonders? Think of the angle there – a whole cookbook, a YouTube channel, a show on the Food Network – all based on one-flame creations. Camping will go to "glamping gourmet" in just one burner. Tailgaters will revel in their new found inspiration. Don't let that small NYC kitchen with one burner slow you down from hosting Thanksgiving dinner!
How much inconvenience will we deal with before we call customer service?
12 years ago I bought a Samsung 40" LCD screen TV. My family still has and uses this as our primary television. But it has a little glitch; a personality trait as we call it. Sometimes, randomly, the sound goes out. We have to turn the TV off and on to restore sound. This is no problem in the age of DVRs. The sound dies, someone utters a loud "Augh," we hit pause, turn the TV off and back on and we carry on.
At first, I tried to call Circuit City, the retailer from whom I purchased the television, but they had gone out of business and I really didn't have the desire to hunt someone to fix it, etc. The inconvenience of the flaw was less than the headache of calling customer service. There must be a ratio or formula in there somewhere to determine when it's worth voluntarily entering the first ring of hell.
In life, we tend to adjust to inconveniences and annoyances because they're less bothersome than fixing them. But in the long run, is it worth it?
Our cable has been out for a full week. You call the number, you get a recording saying they can't answer the line now. You email, tweet, Facebook, you get some halfassed responses and no offer to PHONE. Have you ever tried troubleshooting via messages that are 20 minutes apart? It's infuriating.
Augh! So annoying. Dealing with insurance companies is also up there. Time Warner is the worst!!! Ironically it's actually gotten better from a few years ago when it was also tremendously horrible! Good luck!

"Buffalo Architectural Firm Gets Award for Martin House Restoration"
A Buffalo architectural firm has received a 2019 Design Award for its 25-year, multiphase restoration of the Martin House Complex.
HHL Architects, based in Allentown, received an Award of Merit in the historic preservation/adaptive reuse category from the American Institute of Architects New York State.
The $50 million restoration and reconstruction effort – the most ambitious such undertaking of a Frank Lloyd Wright structure anywhere in the world – was completed in 2018.
"The opportunity to repair and restore Frank Lloyd Wright's Martin House, a self-proclaimed opus of Prairie House design, took the entire firm on an incredible journey," said Matthew Meir, HHL's managing partner.
Meier singled out the late Theodore Lownie, a founding partner, as being the "heart and soul" of the Martin restoration effort.
Mary Roberts, the Martin House's executive director, called the award well-deserved.
"The final product of our beautifully restored campus of buildings is a direct result of HHL Architects' considerate and faithful interpretation of Wright's original design genius," Roberts said.

Guerrero said he has called on the BOC's counterparts in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to strengthen law enforcement to prevent the region from becoming a dumping ground for hazardous materials, such as garbage from other countries.

BOC told to create team vs waste imports
Mary Grace Padin (The Philippine Star) - July 12, 2019 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Finance (DOF) has ordered the Bureau of Customs (BOC) to create a strike team to guard against the entry into the country of waste materials from overseas.
Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III issued the directive to Customs Commissioner Rey Leonardo Guerrero during a recent DOF executive committee meeting.
Guerrero said his fellow customs officials welcomed his proposal.
In response, Dominguez said the Philippines should establish a special unit tasked to protect the country from imported waste.
"It's time we put up something like an environmental unit in the Customs (bureau) to really act on this garbage issue," Dominguez said.
BOC Assistant Commissioner Vincent Philip Maronilla said the BOC Environmental Protection Unit (EPU), which is under the Enforcement Group (EG), would closely coordinate with their counterparts in the ASEAN.
The EPU, Maronilla said, "would be tasked to coordinate and they would be trained to do shipment profiling in terms of origin, the common operation, common schemes of companies" that smuggle garbage to other countries.
He added that Guerrero had already given instructions to EG Deputy Commissioner Teddy Raval.
Raval would soon reshuffle the EPU and select personnel who would suit the purpose of the unit. Maronilla said it was possible that Allen dela Cruz, a lawyer, would be retained to head the unit.
Guerrero said other ASEAN member-states thanked the Philippines during the 28th meeting of the ASEAN Directors-General of Customs for "setting the example" when President Duterte compelled Canada to take back 69 containers of trash that were dumped in the country six years ago.
The DOF said other countries like Malaysia and Cambodia are also working to have imported garbage returned to Canada.
"Malaysia was thanking the Philippines for setting the example, this problem about the wastes, because now it has come to the consciousness of the international community," Guerrero said.
Moreover, Guerrero said he has received reports that plans to transport wastes to the country have been abandoned as a result of Duterte's stand on the issue.
The Philippines initially set a May 15 deadline for Canada to ship back their garbage.
After Canada failed to meet this deadline, the government recalled its ambassador and consuls to Canada to demonstrate its "diminished diplomatic relations" with the country.
This prompted Canada to repatriate the trash on May 31, earlier than its June 30 commitment.
Following this development, the South Korean government has also committed to help ship back to its country some 5,176 metric tons of waste materials illegally imported by Cebu-based Verde Soko Philippines Industrial Corp. into the Philippines last year. – With Evelyn Macairan

Phoenix Comicon: Department of Zombie Defense (DOZD) – Keeping the undead down
Bob Leeper
DOZD Members (L-R) Special Agent Josh Heilner, Commander Michael Gonzales, Special Agent Cameron Beach, Special Agent Shane Painter, Commander Shaun Hayes
It seems that there is a zombie at every turn this weekend at the 2012 Phoenix Comicon, but attendees needn't be afraid as the ever vigilant Department of Zombie Defense (DOZD) team is on hand to serve and protect the valley's signature pop culture event. Their motto – "If it's dead…we'll kill it!"
The DOZD was founded in 2009 by friends and Department of Corrections co-workers, (DOZD Commander) Shaun Hayes and (DOZD Commander) Michael Gonzales, when they wanted to come up with something fun to do that could also help raise money for charities like the Wounded Warrior Foundation.
The zombie defense group is celebrating their third Comicon event this year and their organization has grown to over 200 members, whose backgrounds are as varied as military veterans, local authors, police officers and a city land surveyor. Commander Hayes said that in the beginning, some of his co-workers thought the group was "kind of dorky" until they came out to one of their events, now many of those same people are DOZD members and have embraced the fun community spirit the team enjoys.
The Department of Zombie Defense's mission is, "eradication of zombies and defending the human race…one bullet at a time." But it really is all about having fun, even for the zombies, which was evident at Thursday's Comicon opening night as the group faced sporadic surprise zombie attacks in between photo ops with excited fans.
Even though they enjoy themselves, the DOZD members also practice military-style discipline and speak with a mix of warlike lingo and traditional undead euphemisms, using terms like walkers, targets, ghouls and to "bug in" (to take up shelter) or "bug out" (to leave your shelter). When asked how the Phoenix heat might affect the behavior of zombies, Special Agent Josh Heilner said, "The heat actually prolongs the decay and because of the low humidity it causes a mummifying effect." Extended zombie life sounds like bad news for the valley of the sun.
The Department of Zombie Defense
The group has a strategy for survival that can easily be adapted to "real world" scenarios. DOZD Special Agent Shane Painter has even written a book on survival techniques, The Urban Survivalist Handbook. Special Agent Painter also teamed up with DOZD co-Founder, Commander Shaun Hayes, to write KE-12: Featuring the Department of Zombie Defense, a fictional account of how the zombie apocalypse might go down here in the Phoenix area (SPOILER ALERT – It starts in Mesa.)
You can learn more about the DOZD, including member bios and weapon preferences, on their web site at departmentofzombiedefense.com. They are actively recruiting new members who want to protect and preserve public safety in the zombie uprising and co-founder Commander Michael Gonzales encourages you to, "Join the good fight!"
DOZD provided Comicon security for World War Z author and zombie expert, Max Brooks, during last year's con, and they also escorted 4500 zombies during the convention's Zombie Walk (they expect 8000 walkers this year.) The group has a full agenda of events planned for this year's con, including:
Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse with DOZD: Friday 10:30am – 11:30am
Jeopardy – Zombie Style: Friday 12:00pm – 1:00pm
Zombie Walk: Friday 7:00pm – 8:30pm

The South African Railways Class 4A 4-8-2 of 1913 was a steam locomotive.

In 1913 and 1914, ten Class 4A steam locomotives with a 4-8-2 Mountain type wheel arrangement were placed in service by the South African Railways.

Manufacturer

The Class 4 Mountain type locomotive was designed at the Salt River shops as a heavy mixed traffic locomotive by H.M. Beatty, the last Chief Locomotive Superintendent of the Cape Government Railways (CGR).

Soon after the South African Railways (SAR) locomotive renumbering and classification scheme was carried out in 1912, an order was placed with North British Locomotive Company for a further ten locomotives of this type, built to an altered design. They were delivered late in 1913 and were designated Class 4A, numbered in the range from 1551 to 1560.

Characteristics
The Class 4A locomotive was an improved version of the predecessor . It had a superheater added, which further resulted in the slide valves and Stephenson valve gear having to be replaced with piston valves and Walschaerts valve gear. The boilers were similar to those of the Class 4, except for the superheater and the length between tube-plates, which was  longer. The bar frames were identical to that of the Class 4, but the cylinders were of a  larger bore. The engines were erected at the Salt River shops in Cape Town during November 1913. Like their two forerunners, they were excellent steamers and, with the design alterations, gave a much better performance.

The Class 4A were the only locomotives to be delivered with Type XM tenders, which had a coal capacity of  and a water capacity of .

The locomotive was the prototype for the Rhodesia Railways 10th Class, a scaled-down version that, like the Class 4A, gave long service.

Watson Standard boilers
In the 1930s, many serving locomotives were reboilered with a standard boiler type designed by then Chief Mechanical Engineer A.G. Watson as part of his standardisation policy. Such Watson Standard reboilered locomotives were reclassified by adding an "R" suffix to their classification.

All ten Class 4A locomotives were reboilered with Watson Standard no. 2 boilers during 1935 and reclassified to Class 4AR. No. 1554 was the first to be so modified and retained its original cab, which was cut back to accommodate the new boiler and wash-out plugs. It also initially retained its original cowcatcher. The other nine locomotives all had new Watson cabs fitted during reboilering, with their distinctive slanted fronts compared to the conventional vertical fronts of their original cabs.

The new boiler's pitch was  higher than on the Class 4A. In the process the locomotives underwent some additional modifications. The trailing bissel truck remained unaltered, but the side control was redesigned and spring compensation was extended to include the bissel. This was one of the rare instances where reboilering actually appreciably reduced the total weight of the engine, from  to .

An obvious visual difference between an original and a Watson Standard reboilered locomotive is usually a rectangular regulator cover, just to the rear of the chimney on the reboilered locomotive, but this was not always the case, as illustrated. A more obvious difference in the case of the Class 4AR is the top-fed feedwater supply to the boiler.

Service
Their first ten years of service were spent working both passenger and goods trains on various sections of the Cape mainline. At first they worked out of Cape Town, but when more powerful locomotives became available, they were transferred to the Karoo, working between Touws River and Kimberley and also northward from Kimberley to Mafeking. They were then transferred to the Reef, from where they regularly served on the Zeerust, Breyten and Volksrust lines while also being employed in a variety of suburban and local train workings.

During the Second World War, Class 4A no. 1554 was equipped with temporary protective armour to serve as the locomotive of an armoured train. The locomotive and train were stationed at Mapleton Camp of the Union Defence Force, where the SAR&H Brigade trained before going north to the Middle East.

Armoured boiler cladding was added. The cab, front and sides of the smokebox were enclosed and some fittings on top of the boiler and firebox such as the safety valves and top feed were boxed in armour. Armour plating was also fitted to the sides of the running boards. The picture shows the locomotive and armoured train being inspected during 1942 by the Honourable F.C. Sturrock MP, South Africa's Minister of Transport at the time.

The last Class 4AR locomotive was withdrawn from shunting operations on the West Rand in 1974 after more than 60 years in service. Some remained working in industrial service for several more years, with the last one being finally retired from Apex Colliery in 1983.

Rhodesia Railways
A lighter version of the Class 4A was built by NBL for the Rhodesia Railways (RR). It was designated the RR 10th Class and was used on the long section south from Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia through Bechuanaland Protectorate to Mafeking in the Cape Province.

Like the SAR Class 4A, the RR 10th Class had combustion chambers, the only RR locomotive class with this feature.

Preservation
Two of these engines survive.

Illustration
The main picture shows no. 1559, as built, on the Cape Town-Johannesburg train, taking water at Hutchinson in the Karoo on 11 November 1916.

In the pictures of reboilered Class 4AR locomotives, one locomotive has the rectangular regulator cover just to the rear of the chimney, while the other, no. 1554, has a bolted on cover plate instead, flush with the boiler cladding. Both have Watson cabs, while the pictures of Class 4A locomotives show their original cabs with conventional vertical fronts.

The top breakfast and brunch spots in Barcelona and Madrid
Both cities have adopted a trend that began in New York City and adapted it to fresh, local Mediterranean produce. And judging by the numbers, it looks like it has been a success.

Madrid / Barcelona - 06 Apr 2018 - 16:23 UTC
Brunch is a blessing for those who enjoy a lazy Sunday morning every now and then. This late breakfast/early lunch invention, the product of a New York City trend, is in Spain to stay. In fact it's been so successful that some restaurants have extended their brunch menu from just Saturdays and Sundays to every day of the week.
Barcelona has always had its spot or two for brunch, whether it be at El Milk (Cignàs, 21) in the Gothic quarter with pancakes, bacon and maple syrup, to Flax & Kale (Tallers, 74), which serves up "flexiterian" brunches (not quite vegetarian, but almost).
Auto Rosellón prides itself on fresh local ingredients for their brunch menu options.Alfredo Arias
Madrid isn't left in the dust though, with early-to-midday breakfast locales such as Pum Pum Café (Tribulete, 6), where you can get whole-grain avocado toast and other vegan meals in a remodeled butchers shop, or Motteau (San Pedro, 9), a small and modest establishment with a delicious lemon tart.
The following is a list of the most noteworthy brunch spots in both cities because of of their extensive menu, good atmosphere and friendly staff.
Auto Rosellón
Ronit Stern and Rafa Campos discovered that an old garage where used car parts were once sold was the perfect location to launch their gastronomic project, based on a simple theme and local produce, which they used in recipes brought back from their trips around the world. Having originally worked in the textile industry, they both have a passion for food and adventure, which led them to open this wonderful space. What Ronit lacks in experience she makes up for with her passion and clear, creative ideas as head chef, while Rafa runs the business behind the scenes. Auto Rosellón's success has driven its owners to take on new ventures, such as the restaurant Toto, and the Crustó bakery, each of which reflects the original establishment's own philosophy: quality, local products, originality and friendly vibes. (Roselló, 182. Tel: 938 53 93 20; autorosellon.com)
Foodies Barcelona is located in Poblenou, the trendy Barcelona neighborhood.Alfredo Arias
Meatpacking Bistro
Eduard Puiggròs has been at the helm of this establishment for more than seven years and was one of the pioneers in popularizing the brunch experience in Barcelona. Enamored of New York and its lifestyle, he wanted to bring back the Big Apple's atmosphere and translate it into the streets of his own Mediterranean, cosmopolitan city. Perhaps herein lies its success: combining classic brunch specialties such as eggs Benedict or Florentine and a Philly Cheese Steak with fresh juices and salads, all making use of fresh local ingredients. The restaurant has a nostalgic air to it, which is attributed to the artist Lázaro Rosa-Violán, and inspired by American establishments and bistros. Other than brunch, the Meatpacking Bistro (whose name references the trendy southeastern Manhattan district) offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as cocktails in the adjoining bar, which is also NYC inspired. (Travessera de Gràcia, 51-53. Tel: 932 00 89 08. meatpackingbistro.com)
Foodies Barcelona
Baked free-range eggs with mushrooms at the Federal Café in Madrid.Inma Flores
From journalist to culinary entrepreneur, Daniela Santos' story resembles that of many others, a process of adaptation to a reality that sharpens our creativity and wakens our passions. This is how Foodies' got started as a physical location in the heart of Poblenou, one of the trendy Barcelona neighborhoods, (up until recently it had been exclusively virtual), and business is booming. A multinational, young clientèle occupies the light wooden tables inside Daniela's business, and she personally waits on customers, suggesting dishes from her renowned brunch menu, inspired by the classics, but with an original twist, such as eggs Benedict with guacamole instead of Hollandaise sauce. "We simply love to cook, eat good food and discover new flavors from right here and from around the world," say the folks at Foodies. (Pujades, 225. Tel: 937 60 68 43. foodiesbarcelona.es)
Eggs Benedict served over avocado toast at Panela & Co in Madrid.
Federal Café
Its enlightening location near Madrid's cultural center, Centro Conde Duque, and the attentiveness of the staff stand out at this particular breakfast locale. Its success can be witnessed on any day of the week, say a Wednesday at midday, when people will be pressed like olives inside. This café is just one example of the growing movement of coffee shops that start serving at the crack of dawn. Its proprietor, Tommy Tang, an Australian who has lived in Spain for 15 years, says there wasn't enough attention to detail in Madrid when it came to pouring a good cup of coffee. So in 2010 he opened the first Federal Café in Barcelona, and it rose to the top of hipster trends. With a new location in Madrid, locals can go and try some of their trademark dishes, like the baked free-range eggs with mushrooms, Gruyère cheese, spinach, and fresh toasted hazelnut cream. (Plaza Comendadoras, 9 Tel: 915 328 424 federalcafe.es/madrid-comendadoras)
Panela & Co
One of the breakfast menu options at Santa Eulalia Boulangerie.Inma Flores
Stepping into this restaurant is like visiting New York, Berlin, or Paris— it wears cosmopolitanism on its sleeve. Once you submerge yourself in the relaxing atmosphere on a "first come first served" basis, and try food bites such as the spinach, quinoa, chicken curry, goat cheese, caramelized peanuts, raisins, and balsamic vinegar wrap. (Lopez de Hoyos, 10 Tel: 915 63 60 69 panelaco.com)
Santa Eulalia Boulangerie
This factory of French-style baked goods is both elegant and creative, and contains the ruins of the old city wall within its own walls. Called one of the best bakeries in Madrid, it was started in 2015 by Ana Ramos and José Alberto Trabanco, and quickly became one of the most popular pastry shops in the city. Fans of all things sugary and sweet will not be able to resist grabbing a bite of their vanilla parfait with raspberry cream. (Espejo, 12. Tel: 911 38 58 75)

This was a direct development of our devised process Stripped Back Theatre, where the energy and focus is placed on the words and the acting. We wanted to create a process whereby Actors created and devised their characters in workshops, and a Writer used the captured verbatim material and turned it into a piece of Theatre.
After initial introductory workshop sessions using techniques pioneered by Meisner & Rodenburg, we then started with a setting (Pigeon Park), the song from Blur (Parklife), and the idea that we would discover the characters through listening to moments during their day.
Each Actor was asked to choose the work-place of their character (as it turned out, Bank, Coffee shop, Sainsburys, Big Isue, and Birmingham City Council.
We then asked the Actors to describe in words five minutes of their characters' morning e.g. making breakfast, waiting for the bus, getting to work, starting work etc. The Writer listened and captured the words of the Actors.
These 'distillations' were added to and further developed so that by the end of the workshop process each character also told a story arising from a particular incident that happened to each of them that morning at work.
The last stage of the process was for the Writer to collate and edit the devised words created by the Actors in the workshops, and to then create the rehearsal script.
The workshops took place over 7 sessions spread over 3 weeks.
Parklife became essentially a monodrama (although we didn't know that at the outset!); 5 cross-cutting monologues telling the stories of a day-in-the-life of 5 characters who happen to spend a lunchtime in the grounds of St.Philip's Cathedral a.k.a. Pigeon Park.
Each monologue revealed the interior and exterior lives of the characters, and in doing so the particular the crises that they had experienced that morning. By the end of the lunchtime in the park, each character had determined (to varying extents) how they would each deal with their predicamants.
The audience were able to follow each character's story, and in doing so also have a cumulative experience of how we each deal with the challenges of life today.
The play ran for 3 performances in July at the Old Joint Stock Theatre, as part of the inaugural 2013 Birmingham Fest.
The running time was 1hr 10min.

For the second year in a row, more than 40,000 people died in car crashes – the steepest two-year increase in over 50 years.
Don't wait for the first incident to begin a defensive driving training program for all employees. Decide today to train your employees and protect your most valuable assets – your people and your company. Train employees on driver safety, and implement the H&RS defensive driving safety program.
Now is the time to train your employees about road safety, to improve their defensive driving skills – for safer commuting and driving for work.
For your employees, a motor vehicle incident can have far-reaching effects on their life and family. For your organization, one serious injury or fatality can have a terrible impact on your business operations and bottom line.
Employers pay for crashes that happen both on and off the job.
In their report COST OF MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES TO EMPLOYERS—2015™ the Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) concludes that traffic crashes cost employers $47.4 billion in direct crash-related expenses which include medical care, liability, lost productivity and property damage.
Motivate your employees to be safe and responsible drivers – because so much depends on the decisions they make while on the road.
A new study says crashes caused by distracted driving tend to be more severe than others, raises the odds that a crash will cause severe injury or death, compared with other crashes, particularly if those distraction-related crashes involve rear-end collisions or occur in work zones or on interstate highways.
Our Health and Road Safety – HR safety training program is designed to significantly improve employee driving safety when they commute each day, by directly addressing (and correcting) the "fatal four" leading causes of traffic crashes.

Q: Block a computer from all but 1 or 2 websites? I'm setting up a computer for our machine shop that is intended for them to only get to a couple sites they may need while working. It needs to still be on our network so they can look at files saved on the network, but it shouldn't be able to get to any non-white-listed sites. Are there any easy ways to do this?

A: Use a firewall, such as sonicwall,watchguard,fortinet,cisco,paloalto,etc... they will come with a deny all by default and then you can whitelist the port and ip of the sites you wish for them to access. Make sure that you're routing all your traffic through that firewall.

A: You could use Squid proxy, it runs on ubuntu and can be integrated into active directory. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRx_RkdvpS4
Just set your clients up with the proxy and set the ACL's

Michael Annett's third-place run in the fall 2012 event at Dover International Speedway is his best finish in 11 NXS starts on the 1-mile oval. He was 14th there in the spring.
The 31-year-old has completed all but 10 of the 2,214 laps run in his 11 NXS starts at the Monster Mile.
After finishing 16th at Kentucky in the first NXS Playoff race, Annett is 11th in points and 12 markers from eighth, the transfer spot for the next round.
In nine races this season on tracks measuring 1 mile or less, Annett has four top-10 finishes.

Q: Restricted partitions including zero, without repeated numbers I'd like to try to develop some formal maths for listing the degeneracies of spinless fermion states in a harmonic oscillator. For those who don't know much quantum physics, I'm essentially trying to count the number distinct k-tuples whose entries sum to some number n (up to commutativity, ie. (123) = (213) = (312) = (321)), as well as adding the restriction that no two numbers in this k-tuple can be repeated.
Number of ways to write n as a sum of k nonnegative integers
The post in the link above helped me with the case of bosons (the same deal, but no repetition restrictions). I'm hoping someone could help me out, as I started to develop a flawed formalism and I'm too motivated to stop now.
If you test the case j=3, k=3, you obtain 2 ways to write the j-tuple: (210) and (012), but these are just the same in my terms. Thanks a lot!

A: I presume zero cannot be repeated. Denote the number of partitions
$(p_1,\ldots,p_k)$ with $p_1>p_2>\cdots>p_k\ge0$ and $\sum_i p_i=n$ by
$a_{n,k}$. We can express the $a_{n,k}$ as the coefficients of a generating
function
$$\sum_{n,k}a_{n,k}x^nt^k=\prod_{m=0}^\infty(1+x^m t).$$
To see this, note that the terms in the product involving $t^k$
are $x^{p_1+p_2+\cdots+p_k}t^k$ with $p_1>\cdots>p_k$. I'm not sure
what one can do with this. You could rewrite it like
$$\sum_{n,k}a_{n,k}x^nt^k=\prod_{m=0}^\infty\frac{1-x^{2m}t^2}{1-x^m t}.$$
(This kind of manipulation is occasionally useful in partition theory.)

Movie Review: Hereditary
by The Pulse | May 24, 2018 | Opinions | 0 comments
Matt Dekonty
Retrieved from indiewire.com
It Runs In The Family
I wanted to give Hereditary a few days to sink in so that I could gather my thoughts on it properly, because its unique and twisted blend of gallows humor, horrifyingly upsetting images and pitch-black tone is unlike almost any other horror film I've seen in a long time. Beckoning back to classics such as The Shining and Rosemary's Baby, Hereditary serves as a massively impressive feature debut from Ari Aster, and one who's nightmarish portrayal of a domestic unraveling is something that needs to be seen to be believed.
And Then There Were Four
While I won't spoil anything beyond the very basic setup, Hereditary centers on a family who is dealing with the passing of their grandmother, and the way this loss takes its toll on the four members. Annie, the mother, is unsure if her apathy at her mother's passing is justified. Steve, is the reserved husband who spends his time trying to keep everything sane. Charlie is the 13-year-old daughter who acts about five years younger than she really is, and prefers building strange toys to spending time with other kids. Finally, Peter is the teenage son who's slacker-stoner persona begins to fade away and reveal a frightened and vulnerable spirit. Things start off slow, choosing to build atmosphere and tension rather than throw its hand right in your face from the get-go. That is until a twist comes early that violently jolts the story in a shocking and unconventional direction, in a moment that will undoubtedly become referred to as, 'THAT scene.'
Hand Crafted Horror
Through Hereditary's beautiful cinematography Pawel Pogorzelski paints the house as thematically similar to the miniature models Annie builds as a therapeutic hobby and source of income. The use of depth of field and flat angles creates an ominous and unique look like we're staring into a diorama rather than viewing a typical house. This is a concept that's played within the opening seconds of the film and plays a larger role later in the film that I won't get into for the sake of spoilers. Hereditary is not in the same vein as something like The Conjuring; it is not a fun film with a steady supply of jumpscares, followed by a release and a happy ending; it is an unrelenting and cruel experience that finds its darkest parts in the final moments of its runtime. There's no breath of relief, which is one reason why I waited several days to write a review. Hereditary left a bruise, one which has lingered with me since the screening.
While I can't say that Hereditary is the most flat-out scary film I've ever seen, I can say that the unrelentingly awful events which these characters endure were intensely upsetting to watch – in a good way. It creates a sensation of active dread and despair with scares peppered throughout, all culminating in a finale in which Hereditary goes all out with the kinds of things you'd expect out of a more traditional scary pic, the difference being the buildup and execution, lending to a far more effective impact. It threatens to fall off the rails when things really begin to go crazy, but quickly rewrites its course and managed to scare the living daylights out of the entire crowd I experienced it with. The extremely graphic nature of its conclusion makes me hesitant to recommend it to any but the most desensitized, but those who think they can handle it will likely be more unsettled by this film than anything else to hit theaters this year.

Red Card for the Republicans
While the rift between the Republicans in the House of Representatives and President Obama grows, Representative Luis Gutierrez, the most active politician in the quest for immigration reform, used a soccer analogy last week to put anti-immigrant Republicans in their place: "You are done," Gutierrez yelled from the podium in his passionate tone. "You are done."
It was a year ago already that a comprehensive immigration bill was passed by the U.S. Senate, but the legislation was never submitted to a vote by Speaker of the House, John Boehner, for fear of retaliation by the "Tea Party," the most extremist group United States politics.
When the comprehensive immigration bill came from the Senate, house Republicans immediately rejected it, calling for a piecemeal approach instead, but they could not agree on that strategy either. Instead, they embarked on a race attacking each other to see who was the most conservative, trying to get "cheap political points." It is strongly believed that the Senate bill could pass if it was given a chance to be voted on.
"A year ago, I gave Republicans a yellow card, to put them on warning if they failed to act on immigration," Gutierrez yelled. "If they failed to act, they would be out of the game. Having been given ample time to craft legislation, you failed. The President now has no other choice but to act within existing law to ensure that our deportation policies are humane."
And now the Republicans find themselves cornered. They have dodged fixing a broken immigration system for years for fear of being targeted by the Tea Party in every election, putting their interests before those of the American people, who strongly support immigration reform and a path to citizenship for those who have leaved peacefully in the country. Now, with upcoming midterm elections, immigration reform is dead for the remaining of 2014.
"Some in the Republican Party kept trying, and I thank them," Representative Gutierrez continued. "I kept hoping the better angels would tap down the irrational and angry angels blocking reform the American people want and deserve."
But all efforts have failed, and now the Republicans face their greatest dilemma. They may do well in the upcoming midterm elections, but they cannot win the Presidency again unless they win back support
from Hispanics, who overwhelmingly rejected their xenophobic attitude in the last election, when President Obama won 80 percent of their vote.
"You are done. You are done. Leave the field," Gutierrez warned. "Too many playground offenses, and unfair attacks and too little action. And I think we all know that you are out when it comes to the White House. By taking no action, even after repeated warnings, Republicans have failed America, and failed themselves."

Nytyska skolan är en kring mitten av 1800-talet något svävande gruppbenämning, av tonsättare som hade sina ideal i Richard Wagners och Franz Liszts musik. Dessa räknades som sin tids modernister och stod delvis i opposition mot den riktning som representerades av Johannes Brahms.

Bland de mera kända "nytyskarna" bland tyska (och österrikiska) tonsättarna märks Joachim Raff, Richard Strauss, Felix Draeseke, Anton Bruckner, Peter Cornelius, Max von Schillings, Engelbert Humperdinck och Gustav Mahler.

Den nytyska skolans språkrör var Neüe Zeitschrift für Musik, sedan Robert Schumann 1844 hade lämnat redaktörskapet.

Businesses Urged to Ensure Fair Treatment

3 minutes reading time (550 words)
Recent research into recruitment activity by British businesses has found evidence of confusion and misunderstanding over how the law relates to recruitment practices and decisions.
Potential for Bias
Encouragingly, the research, by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, discovered little evidence of discriminatory practices or preferential treatment in recruitment decisions, and found that most employers look primarily for the skills, experience and qualifications for the vacancy on offer, regardless of nationality. However, it did say it found the potential for bias, as well as room for improvement in awareness of the law.
Key findings of the research include:
Only 39% of businesses surveyed knew that it is against the law to advertise jobs in Britain exclusively in a foreign language, unless the ability to speak that language is a genuine requirement of the job.
Only 45% knew that employers must check that all job applicants have a right to work in the UK before employing them, irrespective of their place of birth. Around 6% thought it was legal to offer foreign-born workers less than the minimum wage and 9% believed it was lawful to pay foreign-born workers different rates from British ones.
A third of workplaces (31%) said that the main advantage of employing foreign-born workers was that they were generally hard working, and the most quoted disadvantage was poor English/literacy skills (44%).
39% of employers said that the main advantage of employing UK workers was their skills in English language and literacy.
Around a third (34%) of all workplaces that employed foreign-born workers said that they would prefer to hire workers who spoke the same language as existing foreign-born staff whose first language was not English. This is potentially discriminatory if language skills are not a requirement for the role.
"Our research shows that, regardless of the value placed on both UK and foreign-born workers, some prejudices do exist and there are misunderstandings about employment law that could lead to discriminatory recruitment practices," commented Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, David Isaac. "We will be writing to business organisations to remind them of employers' legal responsibility to ensure that recruitment is a level playing field."
"Our research shows that, in the vast majority of cases, employers recruit on merit, despite some difference in attitudes towards British and foreign born workers," he added. "We need to guard against negative attitudes and stereotypes creeping in, and continue to ensure that the best person for the role should be given every opportunity to show how successful they can be."
Female Workers at a Disadvantage
It's not just at the recruitment stage that the potential for discrimination and bias can exist.
A recent survey conducted by YouGov on behalf of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that 41% of women questioned between the ages of 13 and 22 believe their gender will hold them back in the workplace. In contrast, 20% of young men apparently expect to earn more in their careers than their female counterparts.
However, women also believe that the recent rise of female leaders, such as Theresa May and Hilary Clinton, will help to change existing attitudes and encourage more diversity in the workplace.

Time to upgrade and I have the opportunity to pick up a Smith 41 target pistol. I'm slightly concerned that it started life as a commemorative pistol and the side of the slide is engraved with some garish gold leaf scroll work. Does anyone know if these pistols are normal pistols that are just picked off the line and engraved, or are they really just hunks of metal that resemble S&W41's and are not fully functioning shooters?
If it is a 50th Anniversary Smith it is a factory. It will shoot probably as well as a regular. But they seem to have a 400 dollar premium.
41 is a good shooter but some had problems. I at one time made 41 barrels for Floyd Aikman. It was over 20 years ago might be 30 years. I would leave 1/6" of material in the area that fitted the barrel in the frame. Floyd would then fit it to individual frames, he claimed that the poor accuracy and sometimes failure to feed was due to that dimension error in that spot. Don't know as I never worked on them and it was so long ago I forgot the details.
From my personal experience with 41's and what I've observed I don't feel they're a good choice for a serious bullseye pistol, especially with nice ones going for $1000 or more now. They far too often are plagued by stove pipes. I was talking to a shooter on the line at Columbia TN last month about why I got rid of my late 70's, he was shooting one. He said it was too bad I sold it as he did X, Y and Z to get his running right. Right after that conversation he had no less than 3 alibi's from stove pipes, he even had 4 or more kinds of ammo he was trying. He shot .22 for the entire 2700. I had not 1 alibi from my Nelson or 45.
I think a dedicated 1911 lower with a 22 conversion is the best option, Marvel conversions are all sub 1" at 50 yards, often closer to 1/2" for no extra fee. You're already shooting a 1911 most likely for CF & 45 it only makes sense to stick with the same platform for 22 also. Not to mention most bullseye shooters have at least some ability to work on 1911's so its on less platform to learn to work on.
Regarding stovepipes in the Model 41. There are two different ejector/slide stop configurations. I switched mine to the newer version and have not had any stovepipes since.
I'm sort of a .22 LR specialist these days but when I do shoot CF matches it's with a revolver. I keep looking at Pardini and FWB but I cannot quite bring myself to buy one mainly just to shoot in a league once a week. I'm not in love with the 41 either but I have a High Standard and I'm done nursing that antique so I'm kind of out of options.
Should be fine--check out smith-wessonforum (not smithandwessonforums) and ask them.
I think the 41 is nice, but it's very muzzle-heavy. I think reliability concerns come down to either spring issues or folks monkeying with them to get them to "run right".
I look at it this way--for cheap, you can have a Ruger, Browning, or S&W that'll be reliable with whatever quality ammo you decide to feed it.
For a grand, you can have a 41 that'll take a little more effort to be reliable--mostly in the form of needing to give it CCI SV or something else that's not a huge pain.
For the same money, you can build yourself a 1911-22 with a Nelson. After a little fiddling, it'll be as reliable as the Ruger. But as helpful as Larry is, you're still dealing with a Frankengun, and building one takes a lot of effort. I had horrid failures to feed and eject for a year that left me scratching my head. The solution? Going 1# heavier on the recoil spring. Have literally not had a stoppage since. Even switched to a thumb-high grip (thumb on the safety), and haven't had a problem.
For much bigger money, you can have something more exotic (potentially with some :effort: required for mounting optics), with additional ammo-choosiness. Or you can have a pistolsmith build you a 1911-22.
Each option is "balanced" as we say in games-playing. They're all different mixes of effort and cash.
The first 22 I had to shoot Bullseye I purchased from Clark guns and it was at the time a lightly used Model 41. I have the original Smith barrel with iron sights and a Clark barrel machined to mount a scope. Both have been very reliable overall and I have shot at least 30,000 rounds through the Clark barrel with few issues. It will misbehave with the wrong ammo or bad ammo but they all do. One thing that is especially nice about the Smith is the way the barrel is held on. It can be changed quickly and easily going from iron sights to a scope setup both already zeroed. This also makes it easy to install a new barrel. Since then I have bought a Marvel conversion, Nelson conversion, FWB AW93, and a Pardini. I have them all except the Marvel which was stolen. They all have their peculiarities and are all different in the way they balance and feel when you shoot them. I think that they are all good competitive Bullseye guns given proper care and feeding.
As far as I know the engraved ones are just regular 41's that have been blinged up, might be a good way to distract the other shooters;) I have a model 41 and it shoots very well and I have had very very few issues with it and it seems like it likes just about any ammo.
I've heard a lot about problems with the 41 but I've never experienced them first hand. Bought mine new in 1981 but was out of the sport for a while. Started again a few years ago and in that time have something like 2 alibis.
