Much-anticipated "speedy" Aptos chain launches, processing 4 transactions per second and with 80% of tokens allocated to insiders
Aptos, a much-anticipated layer 1 blockchain backed by FTX and a16z, and created by a team of former Meta employees, launched to much anticipation on October 17. The team had bragged that the chain would be able to process 160,000 transactions per second, even more than Solana's claimed theoretical 65,000, and far more than Ethereum's ~15 or Bitcoin's ~7. Instead, after launch, Aptos was processing a painful 4 transactions per second.
This was not the only criticism of Aptos upon launch. The Aptos token was quickly put up for sale on exchanges including FTX and Binance, but Aptos had not yet published information about their tokenomics — leaving would-be investors trying to make decisions about whether to purchase a token about which they couldn't find even basic information. Once the tokenomics were published, people expressed concerns about the distribution: 80% were allocated to the team and investors and staked, enabling them to dump the staking rewards on retail investors.

Texas regulators are investigating FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried for possible securities violations
Joseph Jason Rotunda, Director of the Enforcement Division of the Texas State Securities Board, submitted a filing to the ongoing Voyager bankruptcy case. FTX is the highest bidder among companies who have made offers to buy the assets of Voyager.
According to Rotunda, there is an ongoing investigation by the TSSB into whether FTX has been offering unregistered securities to United States residence in the form of yield-bearing accounts. He alleged that FTX's claimed attempts to segregate US users to the separate FTX.US exchange, the software makes no apparent attempt to do so, and offered yield-bearing accounts to customers who had signed up with a U.S. address — potentially in violation of securities laws.
Rotunda submitted the filing in the Voyager bankruptcy case to argue that FTX should not be permitted to buy Voyager's assets until they have been determined to be compliant with securities law. He wrote, "[FTX yield-bearing] products appear similar to the yield-bearing depository accounts offered by Voyager Digital LTD et al., and the Enforcement Division is now investigating FTX Trading, FTX US, and their principals, including [FTX CEO] Sam Bankman-Fried."

BitKeep Swap hacked for more than $1 million
The Swap feature of the BitKeep crypto wallet suffered an exploit that landed a hacker more than $1 million worth of BNB. The project acknowledged the hack, and promised to reimburse users who were impacted.
This is the second hack in October of the swap functionality of a crypto wallet, with Transit Swap suffering a $21 million hack on October 1 — although in that case, the attacker subsequently returned a large portion of the stolen funds.

Tokens notionally worth $825,000 stolen from Syntropy in venture capital investment deal gone wrong
The web3 company Syntropy suffered the loss of 15 million of their $NOIA tokens when they attempted to transfer them to a venture capital firm, but instead they ended up with a thief. In a Twitter statement, the company claims that they had reached an agreement with a venture capital firm to invest in Syntropy, and sent the agreed number of tokens to an escrow agent to complete the deal. However, they say, "it became apparent that the buyer's identity had been compromised. The malicious actor convinced the escrow agent into releasing the tokens to the impersonating party." 15 million $NOIA tokens (notionally worth around $825,000) were stolen, and the $NOIA price crashed from around $0.055 to around $0.037. According to Syntropy, Kucoin froze the accounts holding the stolen funds.
Some supporters of Syntropy have questioned the team's decision to take a deal like this from a VC firm after the firm claimed to be fully funded, and without communicating with the community. Others questioned how the deal could have possibly gone so wrong in the way Syntropy claimed.

Over 51% of blocks validated on the Ethereum chain are censored
On October 14, Ethereum reached a milestone that alarms many who have pushed for blockchains as "censorship-proof" technology. More than 51% of blocks produced in the preceding 24 hours were processed by relays that filtered out transactions involving Tornado Cash, a crypto mixing service that was added to the U.S. sanctions list in August.
This 51% threshold doesn't pose an immediate threat to Tornado Cash users, because even validators that censor transactions will still attest to the validity of blocks created by non-censoring validators. However, if 51% or more of validators were to also stop attesting to non-censored blocks, they would no longer be able to be added to the chain.

Earning.Farm exploited for $971,000, exploiter gets frontrun by MEV bot
The defi project Earning.Farm lost 748 ETH (~$971,000) to a hacker using a flash loan attack. The project contract was missing a check that a flash loan was initiated by the protocol, so the attacker was able to instruct the project to withdraw large amounts of funds, which they then were able to transfer to themselves.
Amusingly, one of the transactions by the hacker was frontrun by a MEV bot known as 0xa57, which made a tidy 480 ETH (~$623,000) from the attack. The second transaction succeeded, landing the attacker 268 ETH (~$348,000). According to a MEV researcher, 0xa57 has been known to return funds that were obtained as a result of a hack.

DAO Maker allegedly tries to dodge hack repayment promises
In August 2021, DAO Maker (not to be confused with MakerDAO) was hacked for $7.38 million. The stolen funds were taken from users, rather than a project treasury, and 5,521 people lost an average of $1,250 each. DAO Maker promised to compensate impacted users with a mix of the USDC stablecoin and USDR: an IOU token that they promised users would be able to redeem a year later for 110% of its dollar value.
Now that year mark is approaching, and a report from Rekt alleges that DAO Maker is trying to wiggle out of their promises through a governance vote, which they've framed as trying to "prevent major $DAO DUMP from USDR distributions". Meanwhile, they've deleted the post that explained the original distribution plan.
Most members of the DAO today were not affected by the attack, and so stand to benefit from not honoring the payout. One voting option suggests that these users "had their chance" to cash out their USDR, apparently ignoring that people were holding out for the promised 110% redemption.
Some whistleblowers have also claimed that team members have recently moved large quantities of DAO tokens to various wallets to vote. Some have also claimed that those team members recommended buying USDR tokens several months ago for below $1.10, as a safe arbitrage opportunity when they became redeemable for that amount.

Blu3DAO faces claims that they've misused grant money to benefit founders
Blu3DAO is a DAO that describes itself as "focused on empowering women, non-binary people, and allies to learn, earn, and play in web3 towards financial freedom". The group was the target of some negative attention two days prior, after an incident in which several members of Blu3 leadership accused a man of harassment at the Devcon Ethereum conference.
On October 11, a crypto developer advocate wrote a thread about the group, starting by saying "Most of the members of Blu3DAO are great people working towards a good cause. Despite this, there have been things around their finances that I personally have found questionable. I've refrained from calling them out & it's something that has bothered me for a long time". She went on to allege that the group had solicited over $1 million in grant money from the Harmony community, misusing a personal relationship with a member of Harmony to continue to obtain grant funding while the group had paused grant allocations, and using funds to personally benefit the founders.
"I run an organization dedicated to advancing womens & nb ppls careers. And this type of grifting only hurts everyone," wrote the developer advocate in her Twitter thread. She also wrote, "In the coming days they'll post some fraudulent report clearing them from wrongdoing. They're running an elaborate scam with many wallets. One of them is literally married to a decision maker at harmony. Lmaooo. Fuck the[m] scammers"
Blu3DAO's founders responded to the allegations by claiming that they had only ever received $75,000 of the $1 million they were committed by Harmony, and that the funds were still in the DAO treasury. They also claimed that the Blu3 DAO members were never paid for their work, and that the money from Harmony was "flow-through reimbursements for scholars/hackers' travel expenses".

Harassment accusation at Ethereum conference triggers wave of online misogyny and racism
A Black woman attending the major Devcon Ethereum community event in Bogotá posted to Twitter a photograph of a man at the conference, writing, "Day 1 of Devcon and a group of us women got harassed by a gross guy! What did the Ethereum Foundation team do? Smiled and chatted with him for 10 minutes and let him go on his way! I feel horribly unsafe at this event. 👎 Take women seriously when they report harassment." Blu3DAO, a DAO with which she is associated and which describes its mission as "empowering women, non-binary people, and allies to learn, earn, and play in web3 towards financial freedom", later also tweeted that "we would like to formally address & acknowledge that an incident has occurred at Devcon", referencing the claim.
The man in the photo subsequently tweeted his version of events, in which he described encouraging the woman and her friends to jump up while taking a 3D photograph, and then gave them a thumbs-down gesture when they reacted in annoyance to him. He then claimed that they harassed him throughout the conference, by stalking him throughout the conference and posting his photo online with vague allegations of harassment.
The woman later elaborated on the event that had precipitated her report to Devcon staff, saying the man had been "verbally boo'ing and taunting us" at the photo booth.
It's a little unclear what actually happened at the event and who is at fault, something I don't intend to speculate on as a complete outsider. However, what's not unclear is the reaction from some people in the crypto community, who have used the incident (and their belief that the woman fabricated the harassment story) as evidence that all women, people of color, and "wokeness" are a blight on the crypto space. Various crypto enthusiasts have used the opportunity to denigrate what they view as a general issue of "feminazis", "purple hairs", or "SJWs" in crypto, and DAOs that aim to encourage gender minorities to engage with crypto. "Letting SJWs infiltrate into crypto was a huge mistake", wrote one person. "This is the woke crowd we didn't have to deal with last cycle. They came into crypto with their distorted vision of everything. [Crypto Twitter] got your back, mate."

Bittrex fined $29 million for sanctions violations
The U.S. Treasury Department announced fines against Bittrex, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced a $24 million penalty against the company, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) announced a $29 million fine. Both groups form parts of the Treasury Department. FinCEN said it would credit the fine to be paid to OFAC towards the total fine they imposed, meaning Bittrex will pay $29 million in total. According to the Treasury Department, the fines are the largest they've ever imposed on a virtual currency platform.
The OFAC sanction was imposed due to 116,421 reported sanctions violations in which Bittrex failed to prevent people in Crimea, Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria from using their service. In total, these prohibited individuals performed more than $263 million in transactions on the platform.
The FinCEN fine was imposed due to "willful violations" of the Bank Secrecy Act's requirements pertaining to anti-money laundering (AML) and suspicious activity reports.

Eckstrom Ready For The Next Step
Posted By Scott Eklund on December 5, 2016
Hunter Eckstrom
After four very productive seasons, 2017 Lake Stevens (Wa.) WR Hunter Eckstrom is ready for the next step and he updated Northwest Elite Index recently about where things stand on the recruiting front.
"I currently hold offers from a couple NAIA schools (Montana Tech and College of Idaho), but I have also been in contact with a handful of Big Sky schools like Montana, Portland State, Eastern Washington, Montana State and UC Davis," Eckstrom said. "I have also been hearing from some PAC 12 schools like Oregon State, Washington, Washington State and some Mountain West schools like Boise state, Utah State and San Diego State."
With all of that interest, Eckstrom says he feels several could be on the cusp of offering while some others are giving him a look as a preferred walk-on.
"The Big Sky schools are the ones I feel like that could offer, but with the bigger schools, the Pac 12 schools, I get the feeling that, at most, they would offer me a preferred walk-on," Eckstrom added.
As a senior this past season, Eckstrom grabbed a team-leading 47 receptions for 673 yards and 10 scores and he also filled in at tailback several times, running for 355 yards and six scores.
"Personally, I feel like my (senior) season was a big success," Eckstrom noted. "There was some minor setbacks along the way, but I had the most fun I've ever had on a field my senior year than anyone really other year and felt a lot more passion towards the game this year.
"As a team it blew my mind this season. We topped any expectation that anyone had for our team. All year we were the underdogs to other teams and we preached that every week at practice and that fueled our fire and after last year vs. Skyline, we lost all the leaders like Jacob Eason, Riley Krenz and Andrew Grimes and I thought that this year was going to lack a lot of leadership but we had a lot of kids step up and take on those roles, so all that being said, I would say as a team and individually it was a huge success."
At 6'0″, 185, Eckstrom has the ideal size to be a slot receiver at the next level and then when you throw in his natural leadership skills, his outstanding hands and his understanding of defenses, he could be deadly in the right offense.
We'll continue keeping tabs on Eckstrom in the coming weeks and we will update news on him as it happens.

France: 3 stabbed in Hate Crime, called 'dirty French' by foreign attacker
Three people, while sitting near a bar not far from the Maison Carrée area in Nîmes, France, were stabbed by a foreigner who called them 'dirty French'. The incident occurred last Thursday after a couple wandering the streets asked the three victims for cigarettes, Midi Libre reports. After the group of three said no to the request, the couple reportedly became quite aggressive and insisted on being given cigarettes. The situation's intensity seemed to cool down as the couple seemingly gave up and went along on their way. But shortly after, the man returned with a knife and attacked the group who had earlier refused to give him cigarettes.
All three victims were taken to the hospital with stab wounds following the attack. While two of them were released from the hospital not long after the attack, the third victim, who was stabbed in the liver, is still in the hospital. Following the attack, police arrived at the scene and arrested the woman who was with the attacker. It's unclear as to whether the attacker, a 21-year-old who had originally fled the scene of the crime, turned himself in at the police station days later, or whether he still remains at large. According to the police, the two suspects insulted the group of three, calling them 'dirty whites' or 'dirty French'.

99¢ BOOK OF THE WEEK
The TRIUMVIRATE - Love for Power, Love of Power, the Power of Love.
A story about love and loyalty, politics and power, sacrifice and survival
taken from tomorrow's headlines.
Till Oct. 6 at https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003DS6LEU
When terrorists kill Shyloh's mother, he dedicates his life to making a better world. He recruits his childhood friends Aiya and Judith. With their intimate bond, exceptional talents and singular determination they become a formidable team.
He chose them, nurtured them, advised them, and, in no small way, is responsible for who and what they've become.
Judith, the warrior and pragmatist who believes in law and order, is the commander of the new country's military.
Aiya, the theologian and advocate for justice and morality, is leader of the Cascadia's largest faith-based organization.
In the past, when dissension, disagreement, and at times hostility threatened to destroy their triumvirate, Shyloh, the idealist and politician, was able to harness the heat and energy generated from this polarity and craft a consensus, identify a goal, and create a process to get there. Together they've been responsible for Cascadia's survival amid the chaos and carnage that accompanied the collapse of civilization.
But now, negotiating this dichotomy of will and passion is like being between two powerful magnets, crushed when as opposite poles they collide, and at risk of disintegrating when as similar ones they repulse each other.
The unraveling of civilization caused by climate change has brought unique challenges. For each of them the goal has begun to take on different meaning. In the end, there can only be one better world, but whose will be best?
...a GREAT choice for a bookclub to read and discuss.
"This book traces Shyloh's efforts to make a better world of our present social, economic, and environmental crisis through creating a team of three unbiased leaders (The Triumvirate). The problems they address are real and will be known to the reader. They are today's headlines and, being unbiased, these three are revolutionaries in their own time. It is fast paced, a good story, and an easy read.
- Clark Wilkins, Author of A Compelling Unknown Force
If you enjoy fiction/sci-fi, climate change and politics this could be a book for you.
I enjoyed the futuristic portrayals of Canada because of the connection with the many pressing social issues in our country's politics.
Touches on many divisive social issues of today (immigration, virus, climatechange, federal/provincial strain) and provides a unique perspective. The take on the Canadian confederation was particularly interesting to me because of the current issues in Alberta.
- Tom Urac, Author of Spartan Revolt
"...unflinchingly stares down some of today's most contentious issues, whether they are of a socioeconomic, environmental, racial, or political nature.
"...sure to spark discussion amongst intellectuals and casual readers alike, ... highly recommend it as a selection for a reading group.

The BIRD WITCH - The Mattie Saunders Series Book 4
August 31 to Sept. 7th
at https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B003DS6LEU
Can you love someone whose worldview is different from yours? Who is committed to a cause that excludes you because of your race? Simon is an Indigenous person dedicated to the struggle for justice for First Nations people. Mattie loves him but is love enough?
Birds are dying. At the Saunders Bird Rescue and Sanctuary where rescued parrots abandoned by their owners are rehabilitated and re-homed, a deadly virus has them dying in Mattie's hands. In the midst of this outbreak, she's called to investigate a mortality event where dozens of starlings fly into the pavement as if committing suicide.
Mattie looks to Simon, her rock and refuge, for support, but after spending weeks at a remote protest site, as soon as he returns home he begins working with Wendy Walters, the attractive, ambitious Indigenous politician on her re-election campaign. Mattie's just about had enough.
When Simon proposes a vacation on the Mexican Riviera, Mattie sees it as an opportunity to recover from the death of her beloved birds. She's also hopeful it's an indication Simon's reconsidering his priorities. She didn't realize while on vacation he'd want to attend the Conference of Indigenous Peoples in Chiapas. Mattie's annoyed but decides to indulge her passion and do some tropical bird watching rather than attend a boring conference.
But Simon's conference turns out to be anything but boring when a deadly firefight erupts between the Mexican Army trying to arrest suspected terrorists and revolutionary Zapatista's.
Now Simon is missing, and Mattie is determined to find him, but to do so she must first escape being kidnapped by corrupt Mexican police and avoid abduction by vicious cartel members.
The fourth book in The Mattie Saunders Series, The Bird Witch combines romance and action with environmental themes for an exciting exploration of contemporary culture and issues.

'til Aug. 31 at
Matthew and Raminder are young, idealistic and in love.
As soon as they can they plan to leave behind the small town and small minds of Pitt Landing. They will embrace life and experience the world, maybe even change it.
Man plans, God laughs. Raminder's father has a stroke and her commitment to her family means she must postpone her plans and stay in Pitt Lake. It's just the opposite for Matt. A family tragedy leaves irreconcilable differences between him and his father and forces him to leave.
They promise to reunite, but life happens.
Twelve years later, Matt is an acclaimed war correspondent. He's seen it all and it's left him with post-traumatic stress, a gastric ulcer, and an enlarged liver. He's never been back to Pitt Landing though the memory of Raminder and their love has more than once kept him sane.
He's at his desk in the newsroom, recuperating from his last assignment and current hangover and reading a letter from his father, the first contact they've had in over a decade. It talks about a legendary lost gold mine, a map leading to it, and proof in a safety deposit box back in Pitt Lake. He's sent it to Matt in case something happens to him and cautions his son to keep it a secret.
Matt is about to dismiss the letter when the telephone rings. It's Raminder telling him his father has disappeared somewhere in the wilderness that surrounds Pitt Lake.
Lost gold, lost love and lost hope compels Matt to return home to a dying town on the edge of the wilderness.
The forest is waiting.

Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great foreign film adventure movie, or mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.
- Tony Parsons, reader review

Saving Spirit Bear - Eco-Warriors Book 1
Kimberley James hopes her new assignment will jumpstart her stalled career with a New York corporate relations firm. Her client wants to develop a mega ski resort in northern Canada. Her job is to convince the current owners of the land to sell. With millions of dollars to be made, it seems like a done deal. Until she runs up against Jonah Baker.
Baker is part owner of a lodge on the land and an ardent environmentalist. He's not about to permit a development that threatens ancient rainforests and the habitat of the rare and endangered Spirit Bear for any price.
Kim begrudgingly respects his principles before profit, but cannot allow a tree-hugging, bear-loving zealot to derail her fast track to success. Jonah admires her determination and worldliness but will fight to the end to stop a materialistic corporate climber from destroying something rare and unique.
Spirit Bear is the first in the stand-alone series ECO-WARRIORS.
"I loved Spirit Bear and was hooked by the second page. Raglin paints spectacular landscapes with his words. His knowledge, work and support of the wilderness made it that much more real. I felt compassion for both the main characters and was very happy the way Raglin ended the story. I really felt the promise of something great. I will be reading the next book immediately."
- FIVE STARS - Reviewed by Bitten by Books
"I liked the concept of Spirit Bear. It was unique.. something I haven't read a million times before. I wanted to read it because of the environmental aspects... the conflict between the corporation wanting to build a ski development and Jonah trying to save his family lodge for an eco-tourism location. The descriptions of nature and trees were wonderful. Kimberley's inner struggle between doing what was right for the environment and doing what was right for her career was a great element. Jonah's patience and acceptance of her ... made his character stand out."
- Reviewed by Tina Gibbons at Readers' Favorite Book Reviews
"An exciting read ... I couldn't put it down."
- Lewis Dakin, Goodreads Review
"... beautiful description of the landscape and wildlife ... really is a joy to read."
- Elspeth, Goodreads Review
A strong preservation message with a side of romance
The ecological preservation message underlying the story really resonated with me and Raglin presents it in a way that identifies the problem without preaching. We need more stories like this, which show the real communities, both animal and human, and ecosystems at stake when an area that should be treated with respect and reverence is threatened by overdevelopment.

Q: Control output grid with in pgfplots while doing everything else automatically A nice feature of pgfplots is that it automatically chooses reasonable values for maximum/minimum x and y values and for the x and y unit vectors which especially effects the grid size and the labels of the ticks on x and y axis.
On the other hand I know that I can choose the xmin,xmax,... values and the unit vectors manually. I do this for example when I want that the distance of the ticks is exactly 1 cm on the resulting printed paper. See for example my question here: pgfplots axis scaling
However is it possible to combine both things in a reasonable way such that the following hold: Require that pgfplots draws the grid lines such that the distance of the ticks is say 1 cm on the printed paper, but let it do everything else automatically similar like it would normally do such that the resulting plot fits nicely on the page...
Please ask if it is not completely clear what I want (I feel that my english is too bad to make it really clear...)
Edit
Here are two examples, see the comments in the code:
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{pgfplots}

\begin{document}

%In this example everything is pretty nice, except that the grid on the printed paper is
%not exactly 1cm x 1cm

\begin{tikzpicture}
   \begin{axis}[grid,no markers,samples=100]
      \addplot {exp(x)};
   \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

%In this example the grid size on the printed paper is 1cm x 1cm, which I want, but
%the picture is really too large
\begin{tikzpicture}
   \begin{axis}[grid,no markers,samples=100,x=1cm,y=1cm]
      \addplot {exp(x)};
   \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

%Here I adjusted it manually. But I want that it does this automatically. I don't want to think about what will be the maximum value of the function etc.

\begin{tikzpicture}
   \begin{axis}[grid=both,no markers,samples=100,x=1cm,y=1cm/50,yticks={0,50,...,200}]
      \addplot {exp(x)};
   \end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

I don't want to include the output in this case since it is just to large in the second example.

A: Okay, here's one way of doing it. You'll need to explicitly specify a width and height for the plot, which will be taken as a "target" value for the plot. You might run into problems for plots with very large values or data ranges (if you do, edit your question to include an example and I'll try to fix it).

Homepage Losses and Aviation SafetyE-2D Hawkeye AEW aircraft Takes Out 4 Super Hornet Strike Fighters while landing on USS Abraham Lincoln
E-2D Hawkeye AEW aircraft Takes Out 4 Super Hornet Strike Fighters while landing on USS Abraham Lincoln
The E-2D was recovering [landing] when it "impacted two other aircraft and caused debris impact damage to two additional aircraft," U.S. Navy Cmdr. Josh Frey, spokesman for the U.S. 5th Fleet.
According to the Naval Safety Center on Aug. 9, 2019 an E-2D Hawkeye propeller aircraft struck two F/A-18 Super Hornet aircraft and sent debris flying into two other F/A-18s on the flight deck while attempting to land aboard the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea.
The carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft was recovering [landing] when it "impacted two other aircraft and caused debris impact damage to two additional aircraft," U.S. Navy Cmdr. Josh Frey, spokesman for the U.S. 5th Fleet, told Military.com via email.
"The landing aircraft was diverted and arrived safely at the divert location. No personnel were injured," he said. The divert location was not provided for operational security reasons.
This model is available from AirModels – CLICK HERE TO GET YOURS.
The Naval Safety Center described the incident as a bolter in his report. A bolter happens when the aircraft misses the arresting cable in a landing attempt.
Noteworthy the safety center classified the incident as a Class A mishap. Class A mishaps involve fatalities, severe damage totaling $2 million or more, or a complete loss of the aircraft.
Frey said the affected aircraft are undergoing maintenance.
"There was minor damage to the aircraft involved, all of which is currently being repaired in order to return the aircraft to mission readiness," he said.
Another incident involving a U.S. Navy E-2 (that time a C model) took place in 2016, during pre-deployment carrier landing qualification flights, when an Hawkeye from Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 123 nearly plunged into the sea after an arresting cable snapped and was unable to slow the incoming aircraft.
Eight sailors were injured and required medical evacuations from the carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, Navy Times reported. A Navy investigation found that flaws in maintenance procedures contributed to the mishap, according to the paper.
The E-2 is a twin engine, five crewmember, high-wing turboprop aircraft with a 24-foot diameter radar rotodome attached to the upper fuselage.
The Hawkeye provides all-weather airborne early warning, airborne battle management and command and control functions for the Carrier Strike Group and Joint Force Commander. Additional missions include surface surveillance coordination, air interdiction, offensive and defensive counter air control, close air support coordination, time critical strike coordination, search and rescue airborne coordination and communications relay.
The E-2D is the latest variant of the long-running E-2 Hawkeye, the Navy's all-weather, carrier-based AEW&C aircraft.

The Eric's in the title refers to Eric Radcliffe, the recording engineer who produced the album with Alison and Vince, and the first floor of Blackwing Studios where the album who recorded.
Alison on meeting Vince: "I met Vince for the first time when I was 11. We went to the same Saturday morning music school. It was a council run thing, where I believe he was playing violin and I was playing oboe."
Vince on the album in a 30th anniversary interview with The Quietus: "There really wasn't a profound concept that was running through the recording. I didn't really know what I was doing in the studio and Alison hadn't much experience of being in a recording studio, so everything was new. We'd make one sound and we'd think it was great and just stop there and wouldn't make any more sounds. It wasn't like we were continually honing or over producing songs because everything at the time sounded fresh. That's why a lot of the tracks only have eight or nine elements to them."

True News|May 15, 2006 1:12 PM| by: guest
When finally Damodar 'Damu' Acharya rebelled in 1980 and set out to organise oppressed fellow workers, little did he know what awaited him. It took him quite a while to ask, what he now says, should have been obvious: "Why are there children amidst adult workers at factory-gate meetings?"
World of the working child is barely visible to most of us. We have developed a blind spot. There are a quarter billion child labourers worldwide, including the US and Australia. India contributes a handsome share to that number. These productive labourers have few rights, let alone spells of innocence and childhood.
Damu did ask the question soon enough, and from that moment has grown an endeavour that has raised awareness about the plight of labouring children, led to the passing of legislation to protect them and is today, a worldwide movement that enables children to assert themselves in the life around them. Their sorrow continues yes, but at least now, we hear their sobs.
Discovery walk
Damu was born in 1957 in Basroor, Karnataka. Son of a poor temple priest, he dreamed of educating himself to land a stable job. He left his coastal town for Bangalore and gained his college degree in 1978. Then began the hunt for a job. He lived by himself paying his way as a caterer, construction supervisor and as an odd jobs man. Then came what he thought was a big break. Macmillan the publisher, was starting a photo type setting unit.
D Acharya B.A, applied and was selected, trained for 3 months and was confirmed as a permanent employee. Damu thought he had arrived. What a brand to work for, he marvelled! But his long walk had just begun. His shift began at 6 am. So he awoke at 3 am to walk several kilometres to be on time. At work they sat in a line like oarsmen in a galley. Their time out to the wash room was logged. They were not allowed to talk to each other. Just as well because 8 hours were barely enough to complete the work load. Their college degrees were docked with the employer. All this for a salary of Rs.200 per month.
Within a year Damu began to organise fellow workers. He was thrown out without his certificate being returned to him. And that crisis brought him to Nandana Reddy.
If Damu's path to their meeting was from the bottom up, Nandana's was from the top down. Her father Pattabhi Rama Reddy is an activist and an artist. Her mother, the spirited and talented Snehalata Reddy refused to be silenced by Indira Gandhi's Emergency, was jailed and paid for her convictions with her life. The Reddys are fighters for justice. Nandana was a natural trade union lawyer. She saw Damu's energies and began using him for meeting workers at factory gates.
Saw them standing there
And that was how it came about that he saw them standing there. They were bewildered children watching the talk above their heads among adults. Soon however, they were to change Damu and Nandana.
A little research showed that 40% of all work-force in India at that time was made up of children. And yet, even the rights that workers enjoyed slipped past them. Unlike adult workers, who usually had families, these children were often from the streets, abused and kicked around.
Damu began organising children of Bangalore's streets into groups where they could share their experiences. Each child was living through hell as a given, from which there was no escape. Damu decided to sublimate their miseries by turning their experiences into a composite play.
In 1984, Damu's children staged their play for Ramakrishna Hegde, Chief Minister of Karnataka. "It was a compelling narration of the horrors working children face," recalls Damu. "A young boy acts out all his agonies. He braves them all because of a will to live but the odds against him keep increasing. The climax was when he couldn't cope any more – we had him run across to the CM, tug at his sleeve and ask, "Sir, is there nothing you can do for me?"". Hegde was in tears. So was Rajiv Gandhi, when the children at Hegde's behest, staged the play again a few months later in Delhi.
The neglected Pandava
Wheels of India's ponderous state began to move. The Gurupada Swamy Committee was set up to draft a bill to protect children's rights. A law was enacted in 1986. It is not without its flaws, but India was a pioneer nation to focus on the plight of children.
Damu and Nandana had established The Concerned for Working Child [CWC] in 1980 to focus on this neglected area. By 1986 they had caused the parliament to pass a bill. That raised awareness about children's plight all around. The press began to cover the issue. Children had come into focus.
Damu noted a strange fact when he went around Bangalore. There were children at work everywhere and a majority of them were from his reasonably prosperous, educated home district of Udupi. Famous for its cuisine and entrepreneurs, children were encouraged to fan out and work in the 'Udupi Hotels' that dot India. Damu realised his work was in Udupi district, which he had left looking for a career. He went back in 1989.
Being the temple priest's son gave him credibility. The man who was organising factory workers, began to organise children. He reached out to working children planning to leave for the city. Most were slaving away as cafe labourers, cleaning and washing. He got a small group together and they called themselves the Bhima Sangha, after Bhim, one of the legendary Pandava brothers.
Why Bhim? Children spoke with great sensitivity: "Bhim was the most selfless of the brothers and was always taken for granted. He willingly laboured for the family despite neglect and ridicule." They also chose the elephant as their symbol – for strength.
Beating the UN
The idea was to give children choices in vocations that would lead them to self-supporting careers. Damu says, "Poverty is not just economic as many believe. The worst form of it is the poverty of information that children are subject to." Damu began to create a series of courses that would lead to self-employment: carpentry, masonry, basketry, horticulture, mechanical and electrical trade work, welding, driving and many others. They are housed in a residential campus in Basroor – called Namma Bhumi or Our Land – for the period of their training. While there, they are also humanised and empowered with arts, theatre work, music and debating skills. Nandana goes about raising funds and raising awareness leaving Damu to work closely with the children.
In 1990, CWC declared April 30th as the Child Labour Day. Thus the concept of one day in a year dedicated to issues of working children originated in India. Why April 30? Because the child worker must be cared for ahead of the adult one, who has the May Day. It was to be another 12 years before the UN's International Labour Organisation nominated June 12th as the World Day Against Child Labour.
Bhima Sanghas began to sprout everywhere in Karnataka. Each is an informal club where working and school-going children gather and exchange notes. Damu then began to ask local panchayats to allow children to attend their proceedings – and that was the beginning of Makkala Panchayat [Children's Panchayat]
Children activists
What a dramatic difference that has made! Children have brought new perspectives and ideas to decision making processes. There are any number of heart-warming examples of children's activism. Here is a small selection:
1. 12 year old Rehman could not bear seeing his 'sister' being teased by adult louts. She was a domestic worker. Rehman roused his Bhima Sangha members to stand up to the bullies and have them jailed for 10 days.
2. Uchengamma, a 15 year old Dalit girl of Holagundi village, Bellary Dt. in Karanataka fought against her parents design to marry her off. Her Bhima Sangha rallied to her help, even smuggling her out of a locked room in her house and dramatising her plight through the media. Her success has led to six other child marriages being stopped.
3. Members of several Bhima Sanghas decided to meet the new Mayor of Bangalore and bring to his notice, problems that children face. They marched two kilometres through lanes in their neighbourhood carrying placards and singing songs. An 11 year old carried her two year old sister throughout the walkathon. The mayor sorted out many of their problems.
4. When the Konkan Railway was laid out, it ran through Nandanavana and Karikalli villages cutting off an important foot path through which children fetched firewood and ran errands. People had to make 10km detours daily. About 900 families were affected. Local Bhima Sangha swung into action and stood with protesting adults. It made individual representations and received a direct invitation from the authorities. Children met them and convinced them of the need for an alternate path. They got it.
5. Bhima Sangha members are great communicators. They run a magazine called Bhima Patrike, which has an apex editorial committee. Children also produce a wall newspaper. Bhima Kala Kendra is a children's theatre group that creates awareness about the environment, HIV/AIDS, communalism, plastic litter etc. They also broadcast an audio magazine called Bhima Vahini, although it is currently off the air. Mainstream media uses a number of Bhima Sangha correspondents in villages to gather news.
6. In Nandroli hamlet of Keradi Panchayat, members of Bhima Sangha worked out the amount spent by the village on liquor, using a breathtakingly simple technique. They went to the liquor vendor and cleared the litter of empty plastic sachets. They then waited all day and collected the new empties flung out of the shop. At Rs.11 per packet of arrack, the annual liquor spend came to Rs.12,00,000! Armed with this evidence the local Bhima Sangha confronted the adults, startling them into action. There has since been increasing control on arrack sales. The village panchayat is now working to make Nandroli liquor free.
7. Children in seven villages have produced a booklet listing chores and jobs they are happy to do and the ones they don't want to. Among the latter: milking, beedi rolling, washing clothes and fetching water in pots.
8. 270 members of Bhima Sanghas between the ages of 8 and 18 carried out a comprehensive survey of 7,500 households in 24 villages, located in four districts of North Karnataka. With minimal assistance from adults, they designed the forms, trained the pollsters, collected data, sorted it and gave it for compilation. The survey covered profiles of all children in the target areas: their disabilities, education, work profiles, family links, problems, and so on. The survey that lasted a year from June 1998, yielded the data that Bhima Sanghas and Makkala Panchayats now work with, prioritising attention, targeting resources and planning ahead.
9. CWC runs a helpline called Makkala Sahaya Vani [MSV] through the toll free number 1098. MSV Bangalore logs 70 calls a day, handling complaints of abuse in schools, medical emergencies, child marriages etc. A transit shelter is now getting ready. MSVs are coming up in Udupi and Kundapur.
A generation after
It's close to 25 years since Damu and Nandana began their battles on behalf of children. Nandana has played a key role in formulating UN's policy on children's rights. India, despite its difficulties with children related issues, has been a pioneer in raising awareness worldwide. Which is a lot more than you can say for a country like the USA, which till today refuses to sign the Convention for the Rights of Children. The very first meeting of the International Movement of Working Children was held in Kundapur, hosted by the local Bhima Sangha.
Bhima Sanghas' 14,000 members have formed themselves into a federation. Since the birth of CWC, whole generations of children have become adults and they continue their involvement as members of the Makkala Sabha. So, the creep of children's issues into adult consciousness is steady. In Udupi, Bellary and Sirsi districts' panchayats labour of children below 14 years ended and all under this age go to schools now. Migration of child labourers from Udupi has ceased.
M Manjula, at 18, will soon be an adult. She has been a CWC-child for a decade. She is a leader that adults would envy. She is the President of the Karnataka state federation of Bhima Sanghas. She was duly elected after a keen contest, by an electoral college of 19 delegates. She has travelled to Geneva as a representative of India's children. There was no culture shock or inhibitions in her. Nor any envy of the world she saw. Despite all difficulties endured in India, she's a proud Indian who says that children here will soon have a better deal.
That would be because, some years before she was born, Damu saw the likes of her standing there – without hope.

BREAKING: Trump Blows The Lid Off Migrant Detention Center LIES
Latest News 0

The is left spewing one lie after another about detention centers..
Migrant centers are now open for visits due to the criticism they've received from the media. Trump, being fed up with how these detention centers for illegal immigrants are being shown in the media, has decided to let journalists visit and see for themselves. Trump told reporters,"I want the press to go in and see them."
Trump continued, "What we're going to do is I'm going to start showing some of these detention centers because — to the press. I want the press to go in and see them. And I just spoke to Mark Morgan, and I just spoke with, as you know, Kevin, so we're going to send people in. We're going to have some of the press go in because they are crowded, and we're the ones complaining who were complaining about how they're crowded. They're crowding because people come up but now thanks to Mexico, it's slowing down greatly, and I think you'll start seeing some very good numbers. But it is crowded. But we want to have the press go in and see because The New York Times, it really is fake news."
The Fake News Media, in particular the Failing @nytimes, is writing phony and exaggerated accounts of the Border Detention Centers. First of all, people should not be entering our Country illegally, only for us to then have to care for them. We should be allowed to focus on …..

The research of members of the IMD3 focuses on broad aspects of basic and clinical science ranging from medicinal chemistry to advanced design and synthesis of new compounds using molecular modeling and structural biological approaches. Studies of several IMD3 members utilize proteomics and genomics to identify new molecular targets for assessing biological behavior of a disease or for designing an alternative drug. The emphasis of other IMD3 investigators is to translate these types of results into new assays and clinical tests applicable to management of disease. "Molecular Diversity" may be derived from a range studies such as combinatorial chemistry and high throughput screening, where literally millions of compounds are synthesized and tested to uncover new drug leads. At the other end of the scale, gene and protein expression profiling are being used to identify molecular signatures composed of unique macromolecules that may become candidates for drug targets or design. "Drug Design" also reflects a relatively new approach whereby known targets (enzymes, receptors, DNA segments) are used to devise specific structures that bind to them in a high affinity fashion by a process known as molecular recognition. Technically advanced methods for assessing ligand binding capacities and affinities reveal candidate compounds. Physical tools such as NMR spectrometry, X-ray crystallography, and molecular modeling, as well as sophisticated organic synthesis methods, are critical to this process. Collectively, members of the IMD3 are focused on identifying new molecular targets, designing new drugs or discovering candidate therapeutic compounds in natural products while developing clinically relevant tests assessing a patient's diagnosis, prognosis or therapy selection and monitoring. with the same eventual goal, namely, the alleviation of human suffering.
Focus the fiscal resources and faculty expertise in the IMD3 to enhance student development as innovative investigators through travel awards, undergraduate and graduate fellowships.

Kakkoos  is a 2017 Tamil-language documentary directed by activist Divya Bharathi. The film follows the daily lives of people engaged in manual scavenging, a practice officially abolished since 2013 but which is still a common practice. This practice has its roots deeply embedded in the caste system in India. Common notion has it that the caste system is no longer relevant in India, but the film shows compelling evidence about society's conscious efforts to perpetuate caste.

The film addresses a whole range of issues and also establishes that manual scavenging is really about caste discrimination. Dalits are the only caste for the job, and they are underpaid, always as proxy workers with no records to show for their employment. The hazardous nature of the job, where they come into direct contact with faeces, biomedical waste and sewers everyday does not alarm the rest of society. If they die on the job choking in septic tanks, the fight for compensation could very well take another lifetime. Another question the film answers is the alternative employment. When children of manual scavengers face discrimination in school, they drop out. with no education and only a caste identity, they too eventually turn to Kakkoos. Supervisors, state agencies, and law enforcers are all to blame, and worse is that they all have a role in keeping manual scavenging alive.

Bharathi documented 27 cases of men who died cleaning sewers in public and private enterprises and sometimes even in homes. The Safai Karamchari Andolan (SKA), the only NGO in India that works for the complete abolishment of manual scavenging—the practice of removing untreated human excreta by another human—says more than 1,370 people have died in sewer holes in the last four years.

The film has received critical acclaim from various quarters.

The film was embroiled in controversy from the start. It was denied certification by CBFC, India and denied screening, leading to its release in YouTube instead of traditional theaters. Divya has received death threats since the film was released online. A case was filed against her  by an office bearer of a political outfit and Madurai police  the judgement was passed on 20 November 2019 by the honorable judge of high court of Madurai, Justice N Anand Venkatesh, who quashed the FIR and also mentioned that the case was clearly an abuse of the process of law and the FIR registered by the police clearly amounts to interfering with fundamental right of speech and expression guaranteed to the petitioner Divya Bharathi.

Many people have come forward after seeing the movie to help the families who have lost their loved ones who were engaged in manual scavenging.

In The Blank Space is the debut album from German-born composer and singer Josin.
Born in Cologne to a Korean mother and German father, both of whom are opera singers, Josin grew up in a household with music at its centre. It was while at medical school in Nice that the desire to make her own music became unavoidable.
Josin's debut album sees a dynamic blend of electronic jolts, enhanced by keyboards and haunting poetic vocals that draw on a variety of traditions, from classical to electronic. As a self-taught producer, Josin is always experimenting, incorporating the electronic world into her writing as well as composing string arrangements.


Australian News Network 22/03/2010 - East Timor Secretary of State, Agio Pereira says recent comments in the media labelling the government corrupt are irresponsible and opportunistic. [AFP] East Timor's government says it's set up new measures to ensure greater accountability from public institutions.
In a statement, the Secretary of State, Agio Pereira, says recent comments in the media labelling the Xanana Gusmao government corrupt are irresponsible and opportunistic.
He denies allegations that money had gone missing from the Ministry of Finance, saying that all financial transactions are recorded by Treasury, the Banking and Payment Authority, and the relevant line ministries.
The government has created a Technical Secretariat and a civil society Commission to provide oversight of all procurement spending.
The public will also be able to access real time information on how state funds are being spent on two new online portals.

Learning from market closure
KUALA LUMPUR: Only a portion of the Pasar Besar Taman Tun Dr Ismail has been ordered to close, and not the entire market, says the market's traders association.
TTDI Market Traders Association chairman Jenny Loo clarified that only 40 out of the 200 lots in the two-storey building was closed as a precautionary measure.
"Many people have assumed that the entire market is closed, but this is not true.
"Based on advise by the Health Ministry, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) ordered the closure after a Covid-19 testing session for market traders and workers on May 15, " she said.
Loo said that stalls that were required to close, included those selling fish, poultry and other goods and were mostly located on the ground floor of the market.
"Visitors and traders do not have to worry about visiting the market, as all necessary precautions have been taken, including temperature checks and crowd control.
"The entire market has also been sanitised twice a week since March 18, " she added.
A DBKL spokesman said several of the lots were advised to close, as one trader was suspected positive for the virus and awaiting further tests.
"As a safety precaution, stalls within a 10m radius of the individual have been closed, " he said.
It was reported yesterday that the market would be partially closed, starting on Tuesday (May 19).
According to a notice, traders operating lots TS1-TS40, TS33A, TS34A and TS131 must cease trading until June 1.
Enforcement can be taken under the Local Government Act 1976, the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, the Police Act 1967, and the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases (Measures within the Infectious Territory) 2020.
This follows the closure of Pasar Raja Bot in Chow Kit on April 29 after several market traders, who had visited Pasar Borong Kuala Lumpur, tested positive for Covid-19.
Pasar Raja Bot is still closed until further notice.
