A reckoning: St. Benedict nuns apologize for Native boarding school in White Earth, Minnesota
Many in Indian Country believe the boarding school trauma that happened decades ago is still evident today in broken families, drug and alcohol abuse and mental illness.

American Indian children from White Earth Nation and other reservations were sent to boarding schools across the country, starting in the late 1800s. The federal government used the schools to separate Native children from their families, culture and language, part of an effort to assimilate American Indians into white society.
There were at least 16 Indian boarding schools in Minnesota, most operated by religious orders. Many children were deeply traumatized by physical and sexual abuse, punished for speaking their language and stripped of their culture.
"There was a lot lost at that time — loss of culture, loss of identity," said Joe LaGarde, a White Earth tribal elder. "And that's all a part of how you take a person's land. You take away their identity. Once they lose that, it's a lot easier to deal with them."
But this story isn't just about a long ignored piece of American history.
Many in Indian Country believe the boarding school trauma that happened decades ago is still evident today in broken families, drug and alcohol abuse, and mental illness.
Earlier this year, Susan Rudolph, prioress of St. Benedict's Monastery in St. Joseph, Minnesota, acknowledged that connection when she sent a two-page letter to the White Earth Nation, apologizing for the religious order's role in the boarding school located there for decades.
Children, she wrote, were forcibly taken from their families and placed in mission boarding schools with an "intentional plan to root out" Native ways . "The ripple effect of that wound lingers in the memory, the culture, and the documented history of your people for all time."
A tribal official said it was one of the first direct apologies from a religious order to a tribal nation in the United States.
A government boarding school opened at White Earth in 1871. The Benedictine order opened a day school in 1878, and it became a boarding school in 1892. The boarding school closed in 1945, but the Benedictines continued to run a day school for local children until 1969.
The religious order also operated a school on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. The Sisters of St. Benedict and the monks of St. John's Abbey also ran industrial schools for Native students near their monasteries in St. Joseph and Collegeville, Minn., for about a dozen years in the late 1800s.
Joe LaGarde grew up on the White Earth Reservation where he serves on a boarding school advisory group and is founder and executive director of the nonprofit Niibi Center, which works on historical trauma and environmental issues.
LaGarde never attended the White Earth boarding school, but when he was 12 years old, he was sent to the day school run by the Sisters of St. Benedict.
"And I lasted two hours there," he recalled with a chuckle.
He says that first morning, after recess, he watched in shock as a nun slapped a fellow student.
"So I waited until that nun's back was to me, and she was working him over, and I took off," he said.
He recalls a sprint down the stairs and out the door with the nun in hot pursuit.
"She was fast, too. She was almost catching me, but I leaped over a little fence and I was gone," he said.
LaGarde never went back to the mission school, hiding in the woods until his parents agreed he could return to the public school.
Indigenous children had a variety of experiences at church run schools.
LaGarde said one of his sisters attended the White Earth boarding school and enjoyed the experience. Other siblings were sent to a school in South Dakota. They ran away and walked for days to return to White Earth.
Retired North Dakota State University professor Denise Lajimodiere documented the experiences of boarding school students in her book "Stringing Rosaries." She heard stories of physical and sexual abuse, and harsh suppression of Native language and culture.Truth must come before reconciliation
Benedictine Sister Pat Kennedy said the acknowledgement and apology from the monastic order are only a beginning.
"You know, words in a sense are very cheap. It's easy to say I'm sorry, but it's more challenging for me to say, I will do this," said Kennedy, the monastery's heritage coordinator.
As a first step, the monastery opened its archive to researchers from White Earth seeking information about former students.
An oral history project is in the works to collect boarding school stories from White Earth residents. Many who carry those memories are elderly, and the project has been delayed by COVID-19 concerns.
The Benedictine sisters also want to sit with tribal members and listen to what Kennedy expects will be painful stories.
"It's like a confrontation. You're the offender, and I would like you to know how you offended me," she said. "And to acknowledge that, yes, cultural genocide happened, not only cultural genocide, but spiritual genocide too."
Still, the sisters are conflicted about the boarding school history.
Sister Carol Berg, a retired history professor at the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University, wrote her doctoral thesis 40 years ago on the White Earth boarding school, interviewing former teachers and students.
The nuns went to White Earth as cultural revolutionaries, their charge to overthrow Native culture, she wrote.
"I think they went up there feeling we have something great to share with these people, so let's share it," said Berg in a recent interview. "Their Catholic faith, the Catholic values and virtues, and the three Rs of education to prepare these students for their future life."
Berg said the result was a clash of cultures. But she struggles to reconcile the trauma experienced by Native students with what her research found to be a model school. She heard little about abuse in her interviews 40 years ago.
"I only found one instance of a whipping. I think it was one of the younger sisters (who) said she was horrified because when one of the runaways was brought back to the school, she was whipped," Berg recalled.
Recovering the boarding school memories at White Earth will be an important part of finding the truth — a first step in the process of truth and reconciliation the Benedictine order hopes will happen with the people of White Earth.
Telling painful stories
Joe LaGarde believes that for many former students, the boarding school trauma may be too difficult to talk about, and they might not trust the church with those stories.
"You're going to find a lot of them are going to say, let's just leave it alone. And that's why we're in the shape we're in. We left things alone too long," said LaGarde. "They swept everything under the rug all the time, and it was easier not to talk about things than it was to sit down and work things out."
Still, LaGarde doesn't want to force anyone to talk about trauma they experienced.
"It has to be done as much as possible, but you've got to be careful. You can't hurt people any more than they've been hurt," he said.
White Earth Historic Preservation Officer Jaime Arsenault favors a thoughtful and deliberate approach. The younger generation will be watching and learning, she said.
"My hope is that young people, as they watch this unfold, what they will see is that the adults in their life aren't going to run away from something that's hard, that they're going to face it in as respectful a way as possible and as healthy a way as possible, so that these kids coming up have a much better future," Arsenault said.
After recent news of unmarked graves found at Indigenous boarding schools in Canada, there's been a surge of interest in U.S. boarding schools.
The process of searching for unmarked graves has also started at White Earth, and so far none have been found. But Arsenault doesn't want that to be the focus. Finding any missing children is important, she said, but she's intent on making sure the community is not re-traumatized by this difficult history.
"It's never been about shock value, and we're not just focused on unmarked graves. It's everything that goes along with it. It's trying to look at how these experiences have influenced other aspects of people's lives," she said.
Arsenault thinks the truth and reconciliation process that's now just beginning might last for a generation, and how that process plays out, she said, is up to the people of White Earth.
Benedictine Sister Karen Rose agrees that the sisters must play a supporting role.
"We very much don't want to fall into that trap of being white people who come to tell the people of White Earth how to fix things," Rose said. "We simply want to work with them. And so I think we feel that we need to be guided by them."
The supporting role will include actions such as paying for the technology to search for graves, funded by the Native Nation Revitalization initiative, part of the McCarthy Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement at the College of St. Benedict and St. Johns University.
Monks from St. Johns Abbey were also involved in the operation of the reservation schools and ran a school at the monastery, but the abbey has not issued an apology. A spokesperson said a task force is being created to review the historical role of the abbey.
Action on campus
The issue is also raising awareness and provoking action on the campuses of the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University.
St. Ben's senior Marissa Johnson grew up in Bloomington. She has family connections to the Red Lake Nation and is an enrolled member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in Wisconsin.
She didn't know about the Benedictine role in Native boarding schools until she was exploring campus as a first-year student and happened across an old photo.
"Maybe 30 Indigenous boys all sitting in rows, and two white priests," she said.
She immediately recognized the photo as a Native school, and her response was visceral.
"At first I was shocked. I couldn't say anything, and then the second wave over me was just like anger," she said.
She's turned that anger to action, helping to form an Indigenous Student Association and pushing for more education on American Indian history, treaties and contemporary issues to be included in the college curriculum.
"I've had to tell [people] yes, we still are alive, we did not die off. I've had to have that conversation way too many times, and that conversation needs to stop," said Johnson.
"We are still living. We are still breathing. There is going to be future generations of Indigenous peoples," Johnson said. "So to include us in important conversations is vital, especially at St. Ben's, St. John's and within the student body."
Ted Gordon, a faculty member at the College of St. Benedict and St. John's University, is trying to make sure that happens.
Gordon helped start the conversation about opening the monastery archives to White Earth.
The work of Indigenous students has created change on both campuses, he said.
"From now on, all incoming students will hear about the boarding schools in their first year," Gordon said. "This is quickly going from a history that few in our community knew about to one that everyone knows and has discussed in class."
Gordon hopes those conversations will change how students understand challenges facing Native communities.
"The more people understand about this past, potentially the more of an open mind they'll have when it comes to some of the policy discussions that we're having today," he said.
At White Earth, there are also discussions taking place, often difficult and heart-wrenching conversations.
Since stories about graves found at Canadian boarding schools have been in the news recently, a few people have started sharing stories with Joe LaGarde.
Recently, someone told him a story about being a young boy at a boarding school and feeling responsible for protecting his sister from sexual abuse.
"It's really a bad feeling that hurts you for a few days before you can kind of shake that off," said LaGarde, "But you can never really put it away completely, because that poor person had that carry that all their lives."
He hopes sharing that burden can help start the process of healing from trauma endured silently for a lifetime.

I arrive at my favorite spot, unload my Pro Trekker backpack and set up my tripod. Within minutes my lens is trained on my quarry and the Provia F is advancing through my camera. I gleefully shoot one frame-filling photo after another in this secret haven of mine. And I don't mind telling you: This secret place is my living room.
Now, I love to be out in the wilderness as much as anyone does, but sometimes family or work commitments rightfully come first. Other times, I'm just too tired, or have too little time to pack up and drive somewhere, yet I still want to shoot. As a compromise, I bring the wilds to me, using the tactics of an Unabashed Armchair Nature Photographer.
A pair of bird feeders located in front of my home attracts a variety of birds year round. When it's time to shoot, the feeders come down and my "stage-sets" go up. My props are simple: a small, hollow tree limb secured to a Bogen tripod using a wooden clamp. This is placed outside a living room window, about five to ten feet away, depending on the light and what I'm trying to shoot. Holes drilled in the backside of the limb are filled with sunflower seed, as is a bowl placed on a board behind the setup. The bowl is secured to the board with Velcro, making it easy to detach and refill with seed. All my props, except the tree limb, are out of view of the camera. The birds will hop around the limb grabbing seed from here and there, pausing just long enough for me to capture them in attractive poses.
The great thing about armchair nature photography is it allows me to do things around the house or get some much-needed rest, and still take great pictures. I can leave the camera set up and ready to shoot, checking for activity at my convenience.
So don't fret if you're torn between shooting and staying home, you can do both. Just hang a few feeders outside your window, set up your camera, put on your favorite television show, relax, and have fun!

Transformation of technology enhancing audit procedures.
The transformation of technology has enhanced audit procedures evolving the traditional sources of information gathered during an audit. As businesses grow and operations become more complex, technology assists in analysing data.
Cloud software have allowed access to large volumes of data, which enables the audit process to begin before the site visit. The ability to obtain data earlier allows for audit planning and to identify risk areas to ensure the audit is tailored appropriately to the particular entity. Access to client reports allows auditors to identify transactions, which are outside of the normal transaction-level testing and gain further assurance.
Audit software have created opportunities to analyse data more efficiently and allows auditors to test a larger sample of transactions. An increase in samples can increase the quality of the audit, enabling auditors to verify every stage of documentation to address management assertions. This is particularly beneficial to such areas as revenue recognition.
Audit programs allow auditors to analyse account balances and movements, whilst also generating reports that provide a story of the business, such reports provide an audit and business insight to clients. In addition, access to large volumes of data allows auditors to spend time performing value-added services to clients including data analytics, which provide insights into the operations and processes of the organisation. As the use of data analytics increases among firms and technology evolves, this analysis may replace typical audit procedures.
The advancement in technology has demonstrated an improvement in financial reporting, the ability to detect fraud and identify business risks. Additionally, technology has allowed for auditors to keep up with the demands for compliance among areas including revenue recognition and internal controls. Technology has assisted in aligning the audit with the expectations of regulators, investors and clients.
Lastly, as the audit profession has significantly changed, there is a focus for junior accountants to have such skills as business acumen and ability to interpret complex data. Due to technology, junior accountants are exposed to more high-level tasks rather than spending countless hours agreeing bank account balances.
Whilst the end result appears the same to clients, the audit procedures have changed due to technology, which in turn has produced a more efficient and effective audit. As technology continues to evolve, where will it take the audit profession?
If you are in need of an audit or would like to find out more about technology advances in relation to your audit, contact one of our Audit Specialists today on 03 9835 8200 or alternatively complete your details below and we'll be in touch.

Q: DynamicReports dont print column header at page start Because of some issue with highlighting rows, I added following column header to my report:
addColumnHeader(
        cmp.filler().setStyle(stl.style().setTopBorder(stl.pen1Point())).setFixedHeight(1))

This solves my issue, but now I always have a Line at the top of each page. What do I need to do, to only display the column header part for each group, but not at page start?
I already use setShowColumnTitle(false) to not display the column titles at page start, but this doesn't work for the column header. Also I couldn't find a way to add anything to the column title band which would be hidden due to setShowColumnTitle(false)

A: I was able to hide the column header component by adding a setPrintWhenExpression to the filler component.
addColumnHeader(cmp.filler().setStyle(stl.style().setTopBorder(stl.pen1Point())).setFixedHeight(1)
       .setPrintWhenExpression(new ColumnHeaderExpression()));

and the ColumnHeaderExpression only returns true, if the page number is -1 which will never happen.
private class ColumnHeaderExpression extends AbstractSimpleExpression<Boolean> {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public ColumnHeaderExpression() {
    }

    @Override
    public Boolean evaluate(ReportParameters reportParameters) {
        return reportParameters.getPageNumber() == -1;
    }
}

And with this the column header never prints at the start of each page, but still prints at the start of each group, which is exactly what I needed.

If you're a fan of golf video games, it's been a pretty fallow few years, ever since EA Sports stopped making its "PGA Tour" franchise — most famously branded with Tiger Woods' name, but also with Rory McIlroy's here and there.
The joys of those games were sublime; not only could you play Pebble or Sawgrass wearing a kilt and a mohawk (but Augusta always forced you to dress sensibly, of course), but you could play fantasy courses all over the planet. Alas, they're about to vanish from the web; EA is pulling the game from servers, and you'll have to scrap through old used-game bins to find a copy now.
But fear not: the "PGA Tour" lives on in video game form. The Tour and HB Studios have announced that "The Golf Club" video game will include a special PGA Tour mode. Players will have to play their way onto the Web.com Tour, and from there onto the PGA Tour itself. Once there, players can compete for the FedEx Cup. Have at it!
Now the bad news. If you're expecting the breadth of the old EA games, you're out of luck. According to the news release, the game will only have six courses: TPC Summerlin, TPC Scottsdale, TPC Sawgrass, TPC Southwind, TPC Deere Run and TPC Boston. So while you can still fire at the Island Green, many of the magnificent jewels of the majors — to say nothing of that little course in East Georgia — aren't in the mix. Plus, it doesn't appear that there are yet any player licenses.
We'll hold off any real judgment until we see the game in action, of course. "The Golf Club 2019" lands in August.

The Name of the City, pp.29-31.
FlikeNoir
[Old Glasgow Contents]
The name of the city founded by Kentigern has been differently spelt at different times. In the manuscript of the Life by Jocelin in the British Museum – the one which Pinkerton followed – the original name is said to have been "deschu." The first church, the manuscript bears, was established "in villa dicta deschu quæ nunc vocatur glaschu." What this word deschu could mean has given rise to much conjecture, and has puzzled many archæologists. None of the writers have attempted to explain it, and, indeed, it is meaningless. I mentioned it to Mr. Whitley Stokes, one of our best Celtic authorities, and with the instinct of a true archæologist, he made it clear at once. He suggested that what had taken the form of the letter d in the word was nothing more than the letters c and l placed too close together in the original manuscript; that the monk, copying only by the eye, had mistaken them for the letter d (which is just c and l joined), and that the word is cleschu, pure Welsh, the same as the glaschu which Jocelin says the place was called in his time. That this is the true explanation I have no doubt, and it is an instructive example of the manner in which names become unintelligible by the carelessness of copyists. Since I obtained that explanation my attention has been called to another example, mentioned by Mr. Skene, of the very same mistake made by the transcriber of the history written by Asser in the end of the ninth century. In narrating the subjugation, by the Danes, of the Picts and the Strathclyde Welsh or Britons, the names of these nations are written Pictos and Strathduttenses. The last word should be Strathcluttenses, the d, as in the case of deschu, being put for c l.
In the earliest of the charters the name is written Glasgu. but on the oldest of the city seals, of which impressions exist as early as 1325, the legend is "Sigillum comune de Glagu." How it came to be so written I do not know. I suppose it was intended for a contraction, but if so it is an unusual one. It was certainly not a mere error of the artist who cut the seal, in omitting the s by mistake, as I have found the same spelling in documents under the hand of the accomplished prelate Wyschard, written while he was a prisoner in England, shortly before the battle of Bannockburn. One of these is a petition addressed by the bishop to Edward II., in which he prays the king "pur Dieu et pur charite et pr salvacion de sa alme," to allow him to dwell in England within certain bounds, and in this document he styles himself "le Evesque de Glagu." The petition appears to have received no attention, and again the unfortunate prelate, in a second appeal, prays, "a nre seignr le rey et a son conseyl voyle fere grace de sa deliveraunce a demorer deinz Engleterre denz certynz boundes al volonte le roy;" and here also Wyschard designs himself "le Evesque de Glagu." In other documents of the time the name of the city appears in different forms. On the seal of the chapter used in 1180 it is called Glesgu. In a letter by the Earl of Warrenne and Surrey to the English king, in 1297, he makes mention of the "evesque de glasgeu." In another letter addressed by the same nobleman to his sovereign he speaks of "Sire le evesk de Glascu."* In a letter by Hugh de Cressingham to the King of England, written in the same year (1297), the name appears in one place as Glasgu and in another as Glasgou – very much its present form. In a charter by Robert III. in 1324 it is written Glasgw. In a charter by John Stewart, lord of Darnley, in 1149, it is written Gleschow; and in the will of Archbishop Betoun he designs himself Archevesque de Glasco.
The local historians have interpreted the name as meaning "grey smith." This is a mistake, and it has arisen from their seeking its origin in the Gaelic of the Scottish Highlands. An archæological friend and an excellent Gaelic scholar, looking for the origin of the name in the same direction, suggests "clais," a ravine or hollow, and "dhu," dark. But this part of Clydesdale was a Welsh settlement, and the origin of the name is to be sought in the British branch of the Celtic language. It means, I think, the beloved green place – "glas," viridis, and "cu" or "gu," carus, as in Munchu; and it probably took its origin from the spot where Kentigern and Columba met, and where the first church was erected.
* The 'Glascu' spelling is that used in the 'Scots Lore' query about the Ancient Market Cross of Glasgow.

Ja Rule Says Only Reason He's Named in Fyre Fest Suit is Because He Has Money
Taylor Mims
Lawyers for Ja Rule have filed a motion to dismiss the rapper from the Fyre Festival class action lawsuit. According to court documents obtained by The Blast, Ja Rule claims that those who bought tickets for the disastrous festival signed a contract with the event, not him. Therefore, the rapper is not liable for the breach of contract that left ticketholders who were expecting a luxury getaway stranded on an island in the Bahamas in April of 2017.
In addition to claiming that he was not a responsible party for the festival, Ja is arguing that the poor conditions attendees were subjected to were not as bad as they presented in the suit.
The motion to dismiss argues that the "food provided may not have been the gourmet food that Plaintiffs were expecting, but that complaint should be addressed through a breach of contract claim against the parties to the contract."
Lawyers for Ja add that festivalgoers are exaggerating their situation on the island, explaining that they were provided with water despite what one attendee claims and that they may not have been given the "luxury villas" they were sold via flashy promotion videos, but they had some form of shelter.
Furthermore, Ja Rule insists that he is not liable for what happened at the festival since he only promoted it on social media twice. He insists he is be targeted because he is the only person associated with the festival who has any money.
In July, Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland and some of his associates settled a $24.7 million fraud case with the SEC over the failed businesses.

Capcom to Release Update to Street Fighter x Mega Man
We have previously reported on Capcom's generous backing of a fan-made game parodying their Mega Man and Street Fighter franchises, dubbed Street Fighter x Mega Man. The game is a standard 8-bit type Mega Man game where instead of rogue robots, the blue bomber has to face various Street Fighter characters as end level bosses.
Now, Capcom's support seems to be not a one-time deal as they have announced plans to release an update due out this Friday, which contains the much-requested addition of a password feature (similar to the one used by early Mega Man games), so that you don't have to slog through the game in a single playthrough everytime.
Other additions include minor stuff such as a confirmation prompt before exiting or resetting, as well as various bug fixes that include the E Tank glitch. There's also an improved controller support and the added ability to capture screenshots. M.Bison has already received a few improvements, making him more challenging.

गैरिक वस्त्रों का अपने आप में कोई मूल्य नहीं है। कोई गैरिक वस्त्रों से तुम मोक्ष को न पा जाओगे। गैरिक वस्त्रों का मूल्य इतना ही है कि तुमने एक घोषणा की कि तुम पागल होने को तैयार हो। तो फिर आगे और यात्रा हो सकती है। यहीं तुम डर गए तो आगे क्या यात्रा होगी?
Maturity means the understanding to decide for oneself, the understanding to be decisive on your own. To stand on your own feet — that's what maturity is. But it rarely happens, because parents spoil almost every child, more or less. And then there is the school and the college and the university — they are all ready to spoil you. It is very rare that somebody becomes mature.
If you want to become mature, you have to become a very very skillful murderer. Unless you kill a few persons you will never become mature. You have to kill your parents, you have to kill your teachers, you have to kill your leaders. They are all clamouring inside you, and they don't allow you to become a grown-up person — they go on keeping you childish. they make you a dependant, they don't allow you independence.
वे सारी समस्याएं वैसी की वैसी खड़ी हैं। और वे सारी समस्याएं समाधान मांगती हैं। नई समस्याएं भी खड़ी हो गई हैं; जिनका अतीत के मनुष्य को कुछ भी पता न था। जैसे एक नई समस्या खड़ी हो गई है कि..
Unconscious evolution ends with man and conscious evolution — revolution — begins. But conscious evolution does not necessarily begin in any particular man. It begins only if you choose it to begin. If you do not choose it — as most people do not — you will be in a very tense condition.
Unconscious evolution is mechanical and natural. It happens by itself. Through this type of evolution, consciousness evolves. But the moment consciousness comes into being, unconscious evolution stops because its purpose has been fulfilled. Unconscious evolution is needed only up to the point where the conscious comes into being. Man has become conscious. In a way, he has transcended nature. Now nature cannot do anything; the last product that was possible through natural evolution has come into being. Now man becomes free to decide whether to evolve or not to evolve.
Frustration is just a shadow which follows expectation. If you don't expect even for a single moment, if you are in a state of mind where there is no expectation, then it is simple. You ask a question and the answer comes; there is a fulfillment. But if you ask with any expectations you will be frustrated by the answer.
Everything we do, we do with expectations. If I love someone, an expectation enters without my even knowing it. I begin to expect love in return. I have not yet loved, I have not grown into love yet, but the expectation has come and now it will destroy the whole thing. Love creates more frustration than anything else in the world because, with love, you are in a utopia of expectation. You have not even been on the journey yet and already you have begun to think of the return home.

Done! A traumatic time, even though there can be no comparison to European Christmas chaos, work (or Christmas shopping) takes as long as the time you have to do it in. So it was all STILL last minute. And, when one´s wife and son have birthdays on 16th and 18th December, chuck in Christmas it´s like squeezing a stoat into a champagne bottle.
As a taster though, during the holiday period up here in the north of Lanzarote we do find access to a very good Cava at only €2.85 a bottle and for the new year, the price drops to €1.75, what to do? Buy 36 bottles, that´s what.
We are now in the midst of the Spanish Three Kings which has the same significance as Christmas for us north Europeans, the place is buzzing. Last night we had the three Kings arriving on camels into Haría (the centre of the north of Lanzarote), the kids get called up onto the stage to receive their surprise presents from the Kings, imagine the excitement, a real live King!
So today is a bank holiday and the kids are flying around on new bikes and scooters munching away on chocolate overload. We feel slightly flat but to stick the three Kings on top of the birthdays, Christmas, and new year would make our bank manager slightly apoplectic but, he is a friend, mmmmm…

As the Amgen Tour of California professional cycling race gears up for its 10th edition May 8-17, race organizer AEG has revealed one of the time-honored and fan-favorite aspects of any cycling race - the leader jerseys.
LOS ANGELES (April 2, 2015) - As the Amgen Tour of California professional cycling race gears up for its 10th edition May 8-17, race organizer AEG has revealed one of the time-honored and fan-favorite aspects of any cycling race - the leader jerseys.
The 2015 edition of America's Greatest Race will feature some of the best men and women cyclists in the world competing across hundreds of miles of California's most picturesque scenery. Along the way, they will try to lay claim to unique jerseys that signify the best performers in traditional categories each day. Champion System returns as the race's exclusive jersey provider for the third consecutive year.
"The Amgen Tour of California has always been a great fit to showcase our cutting edge technical apparel for the world's elite cyclists. This year's 10th anniversary edition jerseys have been a decade in the making, and we are eager to see them claimed by the best riders in May," said Scott Kaylin, Champion System co-founder and president.
The five leader jerseys awarded daily at the Amgen Tour of California, America's largest and most prestigious professional race, each represent a different skill or achievement: overall race leader, "King of the Mountain/Queen of the Mountain," best sprinter, best young rider and most courageous rider. These five jerseys will be presented daily on stage near the finish line during a special awards ceremony where the recipients will be zipped into their custom leader designs. The leaders' names will be printed on the back of each jersey for them to wear the following stage, a tradition (personalizing the jerseys with the rider's name) that began at the 2013 Amgen Tour of California.
Amgen Race Leader Jersey: The coveted yellow jersey will be awarded daily to the rider with the lowest cumulative time over the entire race. This traditional yellow jersey often changes hands from stage to stage as each day's results are added into the equation. It is possible for a rider to win the Amgen Race Leader Jersey without winning a daily stage since the jersey takes into account overall times.
Amgen Breakaway from Cancer(r) Most Courageous Rider Jersey: This meaningful jersey will be awarded daily to the cyclist who best exemplifies the character of those engaged in the fight against cancer - courage, sacrifice, inspiration, determination and perseverance.
Lexus King of the Mountain (KOM)/Queen of the Mountain (QOM) Jersey: This jersey will go to the peloton's strongest climber each day. A cyclist earns this jersey by collecting points at designated KOM/QOM locations at the tops of mountains and hills. Only the first three cyclists to reach the top on rated climbs receive points toward this award.
Visit California Sprint Jersey: The "green jersey" is awarded to the rider who accumulates the most bonus points based on Sprint Line performances and finishing the stage in the top ten. Cyclists who specialize in bursts of power and speed, or consistently finish near the top of each stage, have the best chance to wear this respected jersey. Visit California has been a jersey partner since the race's inception in 2006.
SRAM Best Young Rider Jersey: This jersey, sponsored by SRAM, will be awarded daily to the young rider with the least amount of elapsed time over the entire race to that point. Be on the lookout for these rising cycling stars.
"These athletes are best in class across the board, and one of the ways we pay tribute to them is with leader jerseys that reward their achievements every day of the race," said Kristin Bachochin Klein, executive director of the Amgen Tour of California and senior vice president of AEG Sports. "Every day at the Amgen Tour of California, fans get to bear witness to amazing feats and moments of triumph to be celebrated. We are thankful to Champion System for helping honor those moments."
For fans who want to take home the Amgen Tour of California look, leader jerseys just like the pros wear will be available at the Amgen Tour of California Lifestyle Festival near the finish line each day, and online at www.amgentourofcaliforniastore.com. Also available are items from the Amgen Tour of California limited edition 10th anniversary collection, including a 2015 commemorative jersey, while supplies last. Through April 30, free shipping will be included with any online purchase of $75 or more.

For Prelims: About CIC and ICs- appointment, eligibility and other related key facts.
For Mains: Issues related to appointment of CIC and issues of transparency in appointment.
Why in News? RTI activists have termed the appointment of former Law Secretary Suresh Chandra as a Central Information Commissioner on January 1 an "arbitrary process" as he had not applied for the position.
DoPT had informed the Supreme Court that the search committee was to shortlist candidates "out of the applications received." However, later it was found that shortlisting had been done outside the list of applicants, in violation of procedure laid out by the department in their own affidavit to the Supreme Court.
We need transparency at every stage, and public scrutiny to prevent such an arbitrary process. Centre and states to maintain transparency in appointments of Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners and upload the details of search committees and applicants on website.
Section 12(5) of the RTI Act 2005 provides that the Chief Information Commissioner and Information Commissioners shall be persons of eminence in public life with wide knowledge and experience in law, science and technology, social service, management, journalism, mass media or administration and governance.
Mains Question: Discuss the key issues and constraints faced by CIC in implementing the RTI act effectively.
Security challenges and their management in border areas.
For Prelims: Highlights of the bill, ILP- meaning and features.
For Mains: Protests over the bill and concerns associated with ILP, opposition to Citizenship Amendment Bill.
Context: Manipur state government has decided to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2018, if there is no clause to protect the indigenous peoples of the North East (NE) region in general, and Manipur in particular.
The state has submitted a memorandum to Home Minister Rajnath Singh to give President's assent to the Manipur Peoples (Protection) Bill, 2018. It will protect the interests of people of the State.
It seeks to regulate the entry and exit of "outsiders" on the lines of the British-era inner-line permit system prevalent in three other north-eastern states — Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram and Nagaland.
Who are Manipuris and non- Manipuris?
The influx of foreign tourists has increased exponentially in Manipur, thus creating a demographic imbalance in the region. If this was not enough, illegal immigration from Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar has also contributed to the crisis. This has created fear among the locals over employment and availability of resources.
For Prelims: ISA- key facts, overview of the proposed new bank for funding.
For Mains: Need for a bank for financing energy access- need, challenges and potential.
ISA has asked the Asian Development Bank to prepare a concept note.
Existing banks do not focus on universal energy access—those still deprived are the poorest of the poor; thus, out of the ambit of these banks. Therefore, we need special finance mechanism which can target these people.
Mains Question: Examine the key objectives of the International Solar Alliance and the challenges it faces?
For Prelims and Mains: Smart Food Executive Council- features, composition, objectives and significance, about Smart Food Initiative.
Context: Associations including the Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (APAARI), Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), West and Central African Council for Agricultural Research and Development (CORAF), Food Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN), and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) together have formed the Smart Food Executive Council.
Formed under the aegis of the Smart Food Initiative that was launched in 2013.
Need: Stemmed from the strategic thinking around the need for food that fulfils the criteria of being good for the consumer, good for the planet and good for the farmer.
Objective: To diversify staples which can have the strongest impact on nutrition, the environment and farmer welfare.
Significance: Given that staples may typically constitute 70% of a meal and are often eaten three times a day, diversifying them can have a pronounced impact on overcoming malnutrition and poverty and coping with climate change and environmental degradation.
This new partnership strengthens collaborations between Asia and Africa and can open up opportunities to join forces at any point along the value chain, from consumers through to processors, chefs through to farmers, researchers and others.
For Prelims and Mains: the alliance- rationale behind, significance, the menace of plastic waste.
Context: An alliance of global companies has launched a new organisation- AEPW- to help eliminate plastic waste, especially in the ocean.
Plastic waste management is a complex and serious global challenge that calls for swift action and strong leadership. The issue of plastic waste is seen and felt all over the world. It must be addressed. This new alliance is the most comprehensive effort to date to end plastic waste in the environment.
Success will require collaboration and coordinated efforts across many sectors – some that create near-term progress and others that require major investments with longer timelines.
Addressing plastic waste in the environment and developing a circular economy of plastics requires the participation of everyone across the entire value chain and the long term commitment of businesses, governments, and communities.
Mains Question: Discuss the magnitude and implications of plastic pollution in oceans.
policies and analysis of their performance.
For Prelims: About Global Economy Watch report.
For Mains: Highlights of the report- significance, challenges, potential and measures needed.
Context: Global Economy Watch report has been released by London based multinational professional services network- PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
PwC's Global Economy Watch is a short publication that looks at the trends and issues affecting the global economy and details its latest projections for the world's leading economies.
India is likely to surpass the United Kingdom in the world's largest economy rankings in 2019.
The report projects real GDP growth of 1.6% for the UK, 1.7% for France and 7.6% for India in 2019.
As per the report, India should return to a healthy growth rate of 7.6% in 2019-20, if there are no major headwinds in the global economy such as enhanced trade tensions or supply side shocks in oil.
The report notes that global economy as a whole is expected to slow in 2019 as G7 countries return to long-run average growth rates.
The report also notes that workers and wages will come to the fore and trade conflicts will deepen. The main focus of tensions is likely to remain US-China trade, but there will always be the risk of this escalating into a wider trade conflict and businesses accordingly need to plan for different scenarios.
Context: Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced Young Scientist Programme.
Aim: Inculcate and nurture space research fervour in young minds.
It would be a one month programme. The students will be exposed to the practical experience of building small satellites.
Eligibility: Mostly 8th standard passed out students will be given lecturers and access to research laboratories. 3 students from each of the 29 States and 7 Union Territories will be selected for the Young Scientist program.
What is it? It was to be the largest planned operation by the Indian Army to end cross-LoC infiltration by capturing at least 25 selected Pakistani posts along the Line of Control (LoC) in September 2001. However, owing to some issues it was not carried out.

What? The government of Tamil Nadu has announced the creation of the state's 33rd district — Kallakurichi, carved out of Villuppuram district, south of Chennai.
What? Tamil Nadu Defence Industrial Corridor has been inaugurated.
The corridor is the second defence corridor being set up by the government to support various defence manufacturing units. The first one is being established in Uttar Pradesh.
The corridor is also referred to as the Tamil Nadu Defence Production Quad as the nodal cities form a quadrilateral with one of them at the centre.
The key aim behind setting up defence industrial corridors is to ensure connectivity among various defence industrial units. The development of the defence corridor will help facilitate a well-planned and efficient industrial base that will lead to an increased defence production in the country.
What? After a span of 120 long years, researchers in Sikkim have rediscovered the Small Woodbrown butterfly species from Bakhim in Khanchendzonga National Park.
The Small Woodbrown butterfly, scientifically known as Lethe nicetella is named after its brown-coloured wings patched with white round spots.

Humans may become cyborgs within 200 years: Professor
London, May 26
Humans may "upgrade" themselves to become cyborgs within the next 200 years, merging man and machine to potentially live forever, according to a Hebrew University professor.
Yuval Noah Harari, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem believes the wealthy will transform into a new type of divine, immortal human with complete power over life and death.
Human dissatisfaction will drive mankind to "upgrade themselves" – and that cyborg technology will allow them to do this, according to Harari.
"I think it is likely in the next 200 years or so Homo sapiens will upgrade themselves into some idea of a divine being, either through biological manipulation or genetic engineering or by the creation of cyborgs, part organic part non-organic," the Telegraph quoted Harari as saying.
"It will be the greatest evolution in biology since the appearance of life. Nothing really has changed in four billion years biologically speaking. But we will be as different from today's humans as chimps are now from us," said Harari.
Harari argues that the departure from belief in religion will spur on change to the human race.
He said Silicon Valley is now the most interesting place in the world from a religious perspective because they believe all problems can be solved with technology.
Many technology companies have announced plans to fuse machines and humans.
However, Harari warned that the main crux of this investment in technology is that only the rich will be able to afford it.
He said the gap between the rich and poor will widen, with the rich potentially living forever. (PTI)

Q: IntelliJ powershell terminal prepend PATH On my system, I have multiple Java versions installed due to having many projects with different requirements. Managing the Java versions in IntelliJ on per-project level works like a charm except for the IntelliJ integrated terminal. By default, the terminal is executed as is, i.e. with the system java settings, not with the project java settings.
Therefore, for the terminal, I want to overwrite JAVA_HOME and prepend the path with $JAVA_HOME/bin. Instead of doing this manually everytime I open the terminal, I thought of setting this per project so that when opening the terminal in the project, java works correctly.
I found File -> settings -> Tools -> Terminal and came up with different ideas in that dialog which turned out to not work as I expected them to:

*

*I changed the environment variables in the Environmental variables dialog. This worked well for JAVA_HOME but not so well for the Path: I only saw the option to replace the entire Path, but not to prepend it! From time to time, I install new tools on my machine which shall be on the path for all terminals, so this solution seems to no be ideal.

*Inspired by another post on StackOverflow for cmd (I want to execute Powershell), I tried to change the Shell path and populate my environment as a program argument ( PyCharm Windows: how to modify the shell PATH of the command line? )

*

*My first try was powershell.exe -NoExit -command '$env:JAVA_HOME=''C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk-13.0.1''; $env:Path = $env:JAVA_HOME + ''\bin;'' + $env:Path'. This worked well from within an existing powershell:

but did not work with IntelliJ dialog:

*I then came up with the idea to change the environment via another method in powershell "per process". Again, this also worked on a powershell-2-powershell test, but not intellij-2-powershell: powershell.exe -NoExit -command '& {[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(''JAVA_HOME'',''C:\PROGRA~1\Java\jdk-13.0.1'',''Process''); [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable(''Path'',$env:JAVA_HOME + ''\bin;'' + $env:Path,''Process'')}'
and again did not work in IntelliJ:

My question(s)

*

*Do you know a solution on how I can prepend the PATH with my custom JAVA_HOME for powershell terminal within IntelliJ?

*Do you know why powershell behaves differently here vs. powershell in powershell? My guess would be that IntelliJ somehow forks the process twice, maybe when injecting their own environment modifications or something like this?

The Incident at Dyatlov Pass – an unexplained mystery
January 5, 2018 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by Richard Gradner
On the first night of February 1959, nine ski-hikers died mysteriously in the mountains of what is now Russia. The night of the incident, the group had set up camp on a slope, enjoyed dinner, and prepared for sleep—but something went catastrophically wrong because the group never returned.
On February 26, searchers found the hikers' abandoned tent, which had been ripped open from the inside. Surrounding the area were footprints left by the group, some wearing socks, some wearing a single shoe, some barefoot, all of which continued to the edge of a nearby wood. That's where the first two bodies were found, shoeless and wearing only underwear. The scene bore marks of death by hypothermia, but as medical examiners inventoried the bodies, as well as the other seven that were discovered over the months that followed, hypothermia no longer made sense. In fact, the evidence made no sense at all. One body had evidence of a blunt force trauma consistent with a brutal assault; another had third-degree burns; one had been vomiting blood; one was missing a tongue, and some of their clothing was found to be radioactive.
Theories floated include KGB-interference, drug overdose, UFO, gravity anomalies, and the Russian version of the Yeti. Recently, a documentary filmmaker presented a theory involving a terrifying but real phenomenon called "infrasound," in which the wind interacts with the topography to create a barely audible hum that can nevertheless induce powerful feelings of nausea, panic, dread, chills, nervousness, raised heartbeat rate, and breathing difficulties. The only consensus remains that whatever happened involved an overwhelming and possibly "inhuman force."

Hi thanks for your question. It means that upon discovering the frozen bodies, it was assumed that they died from hyperthermia due to the sub-zero conditions in the area but only later, after further medical investigation, did the examiners find that the cause of death was far more mysterious.

Q: Trouble with alert and listening to a click event I want to have an alert when i click on an image. I am trying to select element by id. I have tried both querySelector and getElementbyId. If I set the event listener to the page load, an alert comes upon reload.
so I am sure I am linking the page correctly, but I am doing something wrong when I try to listen to a click on the image.
I have tried both querySelector and getElementbyId. I have put the script in the head and in its own file. I have put the id on both the image tag and in a span and div around the image.

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
  alert("RELOAD");
});

let thumbnailElement = document.getElementById("smart_thumbnail");

thumbnailElement.addEventListener("click",     function() {
  alert("I saw you click!");
});

The error in the console in the browser is this:

TypeError: document.querySelector(...) is null

A: Before you access the value of the DOM element you have to make sure the element exists already.
In case your scripts are running before your html loads, you can make it work by waiting for the window to finish loading first:
document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function(event) {
   alert("RELOAD");
   let thumbnailElement = document.getElementById("smart_thumbnail");

   thumbnailElement.addEventListener("click", function() {
      alert("I saw you click!");
   });
});

Weather looks good for back-to-back ULA and SpaceX launches
Emre Kelly
Update: LIFTOFF of Delta IV Heavy from Cape Canaveral at 8:09 p.m. ET! Full story and replay here.
Weather conditions around Cape Canaveral are likely to be highly favorable for this week's two back-to-back rocket launches, the Space Force said Tuesday.
If schedules hold, a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket is first in line at Launch Complex 37 with a secretive intelligence-gathering satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office. Conditions for its 6:15 p.m. liftoff were calculated at 90% "go."
"Favorable weather is anticipated during Thursday evening's launch attempt, with little concern of a weather-related violation," 45th Weather Squadron forecasters said.
ULA's mission, named NROL-44, previously scrubbed five times in August and September due to weather concerns and a spate of technical issues. Since the last attempt on Sept. 30, teams have focused on replacing hardware and making sure the pad is ready, the latter of which was a significant cause behind the delays.
Two miles north, meanwhile, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at Launch Complex 40 is on track for its Friday launch of a payload for satellite radio broadcaster SiriusXM. A Falcon 9 rocket that's flown six previous missions will boost SXM-7 during a two-hour window that opens at 11:20 a.m.
Weather for that attempt, forecasters said, is 80% "go."
"For the primary launch window Friday morning, winds will veer onshore bringing a gradual increase in moisture allowing for a few more cumulus clouds along with passing jet cirrus," forecasters said. "The primary threat for a launch attempt on Friday will be cumulus clouds."
Though not calculated into the "percent go," the 45th Weather Squadron said conditions for landing the rocket's first stage on a drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean should be "low risk." The booster named B1051 flew SpaceX's first Crew Dragon launch to the International Space Station in March 2019, a commercial satellite from California three months later, and four Starlink missions in 2020.
If Thursday and Friday's missions do get off their respective pads on time, that likely leaves just one more launch for the Space Coast before the end of the year: a Falcon 9 rocket, this time from Kennedy Space Center's pad 39A, with yet another NRO spacecraft. The mission is labeled NROL-108.
If it flies, the Space Coast will have hosted 31 launches this year, a cadence not seen in decades.

Excessive Emotions: Indian Muslims must exercise restraint, shun needless passion
B'desh, Malaysia, Indonesia are Muslim nations near Burma
Two recent incidents that include protest over 'discovering' the Akbarabadi Mosque in Delhi, and then the agitation at Azad Maidan in Mumbai which turned violent, must serve as wake up call for all Indian Muslims.
I'll come back to them but just a recall: In the late 70s and even up to early 80s, Urdu newspapers like Nida-e-Millat and Nasheman, in India would spend tonnes of ink on the plight of Palestinians, perennially.
This was not just an interest but an obsession. With the decline of Urdu press for a phase in eighties, there was a marked decline in Indian Muslims' interest towards the faraway territory.
It was the era when Muslim here faced the heat due to Ayodhya movement. Thereon, either it was Babri Masjid demolition or major communal riots, we never heard any foreign Muslim country or people in other lands, shedding tears for Indian Muslims or issuing any statement for them. Was there any strong voice over Gujarat from a foreign power?
There was no need either for any outsider to speak for us. We are a democratic country. Like most nations and societies, we will have our issues, and then we will sort them out ourselves. There is no need for intervention. Mostly our Hindu brethren are fighting the cases for justice with minorities.
Still, whenever there is an issue in a faraway country, Indian Muslims are the first to hit streets. Of course, not when Muslims kill Muslims in an African country, or when Ahmadiyyas or [even Shias] are blown to pieces in supposedly 'Muslim nations' on a regular basis.
Some of us unfortunately might look at Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries as model states, despite the fact that they are monarchies. Despite, their rigid and regressive attitudes when it comes to treating women, minorities and even Muslim settlers from other countries, who are not given equal treatment or citizenship and kept below par with even American and other white races.
The Akbarabadi mosque in Delhi
Yes, Arab countries have their laws, we have our laws. Have you ever seen Arab Sheikhs protesting killing of Muslims in Myanmar or their citizens.
Do the Arab people have the right to protest. And if they don't have it or even if they have it, do they intend to do it.
From Egypt to Lebanon, Iran to Turkey and Kazakhstan to Bosnia, which Muslim country saw such huge numbers pouring out on streets to protest the killings?
Frankly, we have the right to protest and we are perhaps misusing it. We don't join other communities to protest for injustice on others, but our blood boils when we hear or see images of attacks on Muslims.
Don't we realise that the world looks at it, as a case of Muslims just thinking about themselves and none else. Wouldn't it be better if we submitted memorandums, met MPs, wrote to President and Prime Minister, to apprise authorities in Myanmar about our sentiments, rather than creating road blockades and fiery speeches. Already online campaigns were on.
Our heart must bleed for everyone who is facing injustice, not just for Muslims. For a moment, it can be accepted that till a few years ago, other communities didn't have much presence in countries outside India and failed to understand this excessive show of solidarity by Muslims for events outside.
Now with growing diaspora, Indian Hindus and Sikhs also begin to feel for attack on co-religionists outside. However, the catch lies in the fact that there are no Hindu and Sikh nations apart from India. While we can surely be unhappy with what is happening in Myanmar, we must understand the realities.
What Bangladesh, a predominantly Muslim country is doing? This country amended its secular constitution and became a supposedly Islamic country, and it closes border on Rohingyas, it forcibly sends them back and doesn't hold serious talks with Myanmar regime over this issue.
They did the same with fellow Urdu speaking Biharis for decades. These lakhs of Biharis remained in camps and both Pakistan and Bangladesh avoid taking the responsibility. Only recently did Bangladesh accepted them and gave them citizenship.
Don't expect permission for protests easily now
Forget Gulf countries, what about Malaysia, another Muslim majority country, close to Myanmar.
It is also an economic force and just a bit far away is Indonesia. What these governments are doing? If Indian Muslims want to the feel pain of Rohingyas, it's okay.
But holding demonstrations of such size, that can go out of control, what message we want to send. We are further harming our own image in this country.
Rather than taking proper routes or legal ways, we always go for rhetoric and streets, which turns counter-productive and hurts our image even more. It is not that you shouldn't be concerned, but head must prevail our heart.
On the issue of ethnic cleansing in Burma, for the last month, we have seen demonstrations not just in capitals, but districts, even towns and at smaller places. Why? In cities, where twenty people aren't seen ready to join a delegation over a matter of genuine concern or the issue of delay in recognition to a school in minority dominated area, 2,000 easily come for such a gathering or protest. Isn't that amazing?
It tells a great deal about the emotions which the Indian Muslims seem to have in excess. Its better to use and channelize this energy elsewhere. Either it's the issue of Akbarabadi mosque in Delhi, for which passions were whipped up by an MLA or the Burma issue, our priorities are misplaced.
Isn't it a better idea to have funds collected for victims of violence in Assam, both the Bodo victims as well as Muslims, rather than giving advertisements in papers and then heading for rallies! In Akbarabadi mosque case, the issue was handled in such a way that now it could cause severe embarrassment to community.
Just a few decades back, a senseless emotional movement over a frail old woman, had turned Muslims into villains in this country. The Shah Bano case had strengthened right-wing forces, led to rise of BJP, destruction of Babri Masjid, and the entry of the word 'appeasement' in Indian political dictionary.
Despite going through so much, the Muslim leaders seem to have learnt nothing. Either it's Akbarabadi Masjid issue in Delhi, for which later FIRs were registered, or the Azad Maidan protest, where Muslim youths ultimately died, one sees misplaced priorities and 'josh' prevailing over 'hosh' that only harm us.

Q: Html layout with header and left menu of 100% height I'm struggling to create a very simple layout of header and 2 column content - left navigation and right content (http://jsfiddle.net/WsQbs/4/).
What I cannot achieve is having menu and content take 100% height of the page (not just window), while having a vertical line (border) between menu and content. The problem is that when positioning content absolutely and any of the 2 columns have enough content, so that scrollbars appear, the background and border of corresponding divs still only take 100% of the window, not full height of the content.

A: the absolute position prevent it from you want. is this what you want? http://jsfiddle.net/bingjie2680/WsQbs/6/
