Invest in Almere
Almere has a lot of benefits for your business.
Coronavirus and business
Currently, the coronavirus is affecting many businesses in Almere. Restrictions are limiting travel; venues are closed, and most events have been cancelled. Other measures taken by the Dutch government to contain the spread of the virus may impact companies as well. For the latest medical information, advice on preventing the virus and an outline of the safety measures that have been adopted, visit the website of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). Check the website of investment agency amsterdam inbusiness for information for businesses during the coronavirus outbreak.
Almere has an abundance of affordable space for businesses. Whether it's for offices, European headquarters, data or distribution centres, Almere has the space, workforce and the talent all within 20 minutes from the centre of Amsterdam and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. Prices for plots are attractive and regulations are business-friendly, so it's easy to see why 150 international companies have set up shop here. These include the production facility and the headquarters of the Yakult Group in Europe, the European headquarters of engine manufacturer Yanmar, and Mitsubishi Turbo Engines. These big names from Japan are accompanied by Csmart, the global training centre of Carnival Corporation, the world largest leisure travel company. But Almere still has space to grow, providing numerous possibilities for companies to expand and build their own warehouse, office or datacentre.
8th city of the Netherlands
Almere has grown quickly and is now home to more than 210,000 residents. As such, it's the Netherlands' eight-largest city and the second-largest in the Amsterdam Area. But it doesn't stop there. As the region has a demand for an extra 400,000 homes in the next 30 years, Almere will grow with another 60,000 new homes by 2030, becoming the fifth city in the Netherlands. This growth will be carefully planned, with an emphasis on quality, green and sustainable initiatives, Next to new homes and facilities, improvements will be made in infrastructure, nature, culture and recreation possibilities.
Thanks to the central location and connections to major Dutch motorways, Almere is the ideal city in which to establish your company and grow your business:
It's next to the A6 motorway and has connections with the A27 and A1;
Within 20 minutes you're at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol or Lelystad Airport;
Close to Amsterdam, Utrecht and the towns and cities of the Het Gooi region;
Easily accessible by public transport. Almere has six train stations and its bus network operate on separate roads, eliminating traffic problems;
Spacious with lots of parking possibilities and flexibility for logistics solutions.
To calculate the travel distances between work and potential living locations, the Amsterdam area has developed the MapitOut tool. This interactive map allows you to select a living location by entering desired travel times to different locations. Try it out!
Attractively priced plots
Almere is one of the most affordable locations for establishing businesses in the region. This is due to attractively priced plots with an abundance of space and its favourable investment climate, as well as opportunities to buy or rent existing offices and workspaces.
Amsterdam Area
Almere is part of the Amsterdam Area and is actually its second largest city, behind Amsterdam. The Amsterdam Area includes two airports, sea ports, the financial centre of the Netherlands and Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX). The Amsterdam Area is one of Europe's top five economic regions. Its priorities are to boost the economy, improve accessibility and build new homes. From an economic perspective, the Amsterdam Area aims to play a pioneering role in the knowledge and circular economy. Sustainability is also a major action point. The same applies to landscape elements, with particular attention to expanding recreational possibilities and access to nature.
Amsterdam inbusiness
Almere is part of amsterdam inbusiness, the official foreign investment agency of the Amsterdam Area. Amsterdam inbusiness assists foreign companies with establishing and expanding their operations in the Amsterdam Area, helping them create a convincing business case for setting up offices in the area. And it's free, strictly confidential and without a hidden agenda.
Logistics Business Parks
Stichtsekant
Business park Stichtsekant (in Dutch) is situated on the eastern edge of Almere and offers plenty of space for logistics and modern, mixed companies. It's connected directly to the A27 motorway and is only 8 minutes from the A6. That's why Stichtsekant is the ideal spot for modern distribution centres that serve both regional and national markets. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the Port of Amsterdam and the Utrecht region are accessible within 30 minutes by road.
Lelystad Airport Businesspark
Lelystad Airport Businesspark (LAB) is a 140-hectare sized area that is home to bicycle manufacturer Giant, De Munt and the Spanish fashion giant (kleine letter) Inditex, which includes brands such as Zara, Pull&Bear and Bershka. The site has extensive plots with permission to build up to 30 metres high. Inditex' enormous distribution centre is the Netherlands' biggest logistics development so far.

Network18's consolidated revenue grew 12 per cent YoY to Rs 1,549 cr for Q2FY23
Network18 reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 28.84 crore.
19 Oct, 2022 - 08:19 AM IST | By indiantelevision.com Team
Mumbai: On Tuesday, Network18 Media & Investments announced its financial results for the quarter that ended 30 September, 2022. Amidst a challenging macro environment, the company reported that its consolidated revenue from operations rose to Rs 1,549 crore (year-on-year) as against Rs 1,387 crore in the corresponding quarter of the preceding fiscal. They have reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 28.84 crore.
Total expenses were at Rs 1,592 crore, up by 33.88 per cent in Q2FY23, as against Rs 1,189.04 crore earlier. The network's consolidated operating Ebitda fell 87 per cent year on year to Rs 32 crore in Q2FY23, from Rs 253 crore in Q2FY22.
According to a regulatory filing, TV news revenue was down three per cent YoY in the second quarter, owing primarily to a decline in advertising revenue. News ad inventory declined by 10 per cent at industry level and the drop was even higher for the network as they continued to optimise inventory on key channels. However, the impact on revenue was much lower as the scale-up of events-led monetisation partially offset the loss of display advertising.
TV18's entertainment portfolio had a viewership share of 9.9 per cent in the non-news genre in Q2FY23. Its full-portfolio offering across national, regional, niche, sports, infotainment, and digital has diversified revenue streams and makes it future-ready.
Network18 continued to invest in content, marketing, and distribution initiatives in order to lay a solid foundation for long-term growth, resulting in a 34% increase in operating costs.
Growth in revenue was primarily driven by the movie segment, as ad revenue was flat due to the subdued advertising environment. Adjusting for the impact of the withdrawal of Colors Rishtey from DD FreeDish, ad revenue grew in the high single digits on a YoY basis, despite the challenging environment.
Operating expenses increased by 15 per cent (excluding film production) due to increased content and marketing spending. The higher number of hours (TV and digital), higher episodic costs, and increased spending in regional markets all contributed to the increase in content costs.
The business's profitability suffered as advertising revenue fell short of expectations, despite content investments helping us strengthen our ratings in certain markets.
In addition, increased investments in digital and a drop in Colors Rishtey ad revenue also impacted Ebitda.
Viacom18 Studio's Laal Singh Chaddha and Shabaash Mithu received a mixed response from Indian theatre-going audiences but received great traction in international markets and on digital platforms.
TV18's CNN News18 and News18 India join CNBC TV18 as undisputed leaders in the English and Hindi markets, respectively.
News18 Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, and Himachal is the first channel launched by a major news network to cover the region.
Colors fortifies the number two position in the Hindi GEC segment.
Viacom18's proposed transaction with Bodhi Tree and Reliance got CCI approval.
Network18 chairman Adil Zainulbhai said, "The first half of the fiscal has been challenging for most sectors. However, we believe that this phase should only be a minor bump in the long runway for growth. Our presence across the full spectrum of content segments and platforms places us in a unique position to leverage the combined strengths of our assets. We have set clear objectives for our different business segments and are working on executing our plans in that direction. Despite the macro environment being less than ideal for growth currently, we continue to make investments which will help us create a strong foundation for the long term and will hold us in good stead as growth returns."

In this paper we discuss a classification problem of homogeneous 2-spheres in the complex Grassmann manifold G(kC1, nC1) by theory of unitary representations of the 3-dimensional special unitary group SU(2). First we observe that if an immersion x W S^2 ! G(k C 1, n C 1) is homogeneous, then its image x(S^2) is a 2-dimensional _(SU(2))-orbit in G(k C1, nC1), where _W SU(2)!U(nC1) is a unitary representation of SU(2). Then we give a classification theorem of homogeneous 2-spheres in G(k C1, n C1). As an application we describe explicitly all homogeneous 2-spheres in G(2, 4). Also we mention about an example of non-homogeneous holomorphic 2-sphere with constant curvature in G(2, 4).

Dementia Is Leading Cause of Death in England, Wales
Dementia and Alzheimer's disease has replaced heart disease as the leading cause of death in England and Wales, making up 11.6 percent of all registered deaths in 2015, according to a bulletin from the United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics.
Heart disease followed closely behind, with 11.5 percent of all registered deaths in 2015. Alzheimer's and other dementias were the leading cause of death for women, accounting for just over 15 percent of all female deaths, up from 13.4 in 2014. Heart disease was the leading cause of death for men, accounting for 14.3 percent of all male deaths.
"In 2015, dementia and Alzheimer's disease became the leading cause of death in part because people are simply living longer but also because of improved detection and diagnosis," said Elizabeth McLaren with the Office for National Statistics. "An updating of the international rules for determining the underlying cause of death is also a factor, with the increase in cases attributed to these conditions accompanied by falls in other causes."
The bulletin notes that there have been similar increases in the number of deaths from dementia and Alzheimer's disease reported in other countries including Finland, Northern Ireland and Australia.
Meanwhile, a new longitudinal study in the United States shows a decrease in the number of people in the United States with Alzheimer's disease.

Statics/Measurement and Units
< Statics
In statics and mechanics, units can be expressed in terms of three basic dimensions: length, mass, and time. All other units are created from combinations of these three basic units.
Force can be considered a fourth basic unit. Known as a derived measurement, it comes from Newton's 2nd Law:
F = m a {\displaystyle \ \ \!\mathrm {F} =\mathrm {m} \ \mathrm {a} \,\!}
Here, force is defined as the amount of mass multiplied by the acceleration (length per second squared) that the mass achieves.

2 British and American Customary Units
3 Conversion from one System of Units to Another

4 Significant Digits
4.1 Rules for Finding the Correct Number of Significant Digits
International System of Units (SI Units)[edit | edit source]
In the SI system of units, the three specified base units are the units of length, mass and time. A fourth unit, that of force, is derived from the base units.
The unit of length is the meter (m).
The unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
The unit of time is the second (s).
The unit of force is the newton (N), where:
N = 1 k g m s 2 {\displaystyle \ \!\mathrm {N} =1\ \!\mathrm {kg} \ {\frac {\mathrm {m} }{\mathrm {s} ^{2}}}\,\!}
When working with units that are either large multiples or small fractions of these units, prefixes are often used in order to keep the numbers manageable. For example,
1000 m = 1 k m {\displaystyle 1000\ \!\mathrm {m} =1\ \!\mathrm {km} }
The following table gives a more detailed description of prefixes.

British and American Customary Units[edit | edit source]
While the International System of units is in common use throughout much of the world, engineers may still encounter British or American units. Therefore, it is a good idea to have some familiarity with them.
While the basic units in International System of units are length, mass, and time--with the unit of force defined in terms of these--in the British and American units, the base units are length, force and time, with mass being defined in terms of these.
The unit of length is the foot (ft).
The unit of force is the pound (lb), which is occasionally called pound-force (lbf).
The unit of mass in British and American units is the slug. It is defined as the amount of mass accelerated at a rate of 1 ft/s^2 when 1 pound of force is applied.
1 s l u g = 1 l b f f t s 2 {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {slug} =1\ \!\mathrm {lb} _{f}\ {\frac {\mathrm {ft} }{\mathrm {s} ^{2}}}}
Occasionally, mass is described as a pound-mass. It is equal to the mass required to move one lb of weight when acted upon by the standard acceleration of gravity. On Earth, the standard acceleration of gravity is about 32.2 ft/s^2, this means that one slug is 32.2 lb(mass).
1 s l u g = 32.2 l b m {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {slug} =32.2\ \!\mathrm {lb_{m}} }
Conversion from one System of Units to Another[edit | edit source]
While we can do all our calculations in one set of units or the other, as long as we are consistent, there are times we will want to convert from one system to the other.
Unit of Length 1 ft = 0.3048 m
Unit of Force 1 lb = 4.448 N
Unit of Mass 1 slug = 1 lb-s^2/ft = 14.59 kg
As mentioned earlier, the second is the same in both systems of units and and so no conversion is required.
Common British and American Customary units and their SI equivalents are listed in the table below.
Acceleration 1 f t s 2 = 0.3048 m s 2 {\displaystyle 1\ {\frac {\!\mathrm {ft} }{\!\mathrm {s} ^{2}}}=0.3048\ {\frac {\!\mathrm {m} }{\!\mathrm {s} ^{2}}}}

Energy 1 f t l b = 1.356 J {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {ft} \ \!\mathrm {lb} =1.356\ \!\mathrm {J} }
Force 1 l b = 4.448 N {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {lb} =4.448\ \!\mathrm {N} }
Impulse 1 l b s = 4.448 N s {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {lb} \ \!\mathrm {s} =4.448\ \!\mathrm {N} \ \!\mathrm {s} }
Length 1 f t = 0.3048 m {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {ft} =0.3048\ \!\mathrm {m} }
1 m i l e = 1.609 k m {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {mile} =1.609\ \!\mathrm {km} }
Mass 1 l b m a s s = 0.4536 k g {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {lb} \ \!\mathrm {mass} =0.4536\ \!\mathrm {kg} }
1 s l u g = 14.59 k g {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {slug} =14.59\ \!\mathrm {kg} }
1 t o n = 907.2 k g {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {ton} =907.2\ \!\mathrm {kg} }
Moment 1 l b f t = 1.356 N m {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {lb} \ \!\mathrm {ft} =1.356\ \!\mathrm {N} \ \!\mathrm {m} }
Power 1 f t l b s = 1.356 W {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {ft} \ {\frac {\!\mathrm {lb} }{\!\mathrm {s} }}=1.356\ \!\mathrm {W} }
1 h p = 745.7 W {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {hp} =745.7\ \!\mathrm {W} }
Pressure 1 p s i = 6.895 k P a {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {psi} =6.895\ \!\mathrm {kPa} }
Stress 1 p s i = 6.895 k P a {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {psi} =6.895\ \!\mathrm {kPa} }

1 m p h = 1.609 k m h r {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {mph} =1.609\ {\frac {\!\mathrm {km} }{\!\mathrm {hr} }}}
Volume (solids) 1 f t 3 = 0.02832 m 3 {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {ft} ^{3}=0.02832\ \!\mathrm {m} ^{3}}
Volume (liquids) 1 g a l = 3.785 L {\displaystyle 1\ \!\mathrm {gal} =3.785\ \!\mathrm {L} }

Example[edit | edit source]
According to the official National Hockey League rulebook, "The official size of the (hockey) rink shall be two hundred feet (200') long and eighty-five feet (85') wide." What are the dimensions in SI units?
Solution[edit | edit source]
From the above table:
1 f t = 0.3048 m {\displaystyle 1\ \mathrm {ft} =0.3048\ \mathrm {m} }
Using dimensional analysis we find the length and width in meters.
l = 200 f t ⋅ 0.3048 m 1 f t = 60.96 m {\displaystyle l\ =\ 200\ \mathrm {ft} \ \cdot \ {\frac {0.3048\ \mathrm {m} }{1\ \mathrm {ft} }}=\ 60.96\ \mathrm {m} }
w = 85 f t ⋅ 0.3048 m 1 f t = 25.96 m {\displaystyle w\ =\ 85\ \mathrm {ft} \ \cdot \ {\frac {0.3048\ \mathrm {m} }{1\ \mathrm {ft} }}=\ 25.96\ \mathrm {m} }
Significant Digits[edit | edit source]
When we talk about measurements and calculations, we need to understand the degree of accuracy involved.
The accuracy of our calculations cannot be more precise than the accuracy of our measurements.
Suppose we are provided with a distance to an accuracy of one decimal place, say 9.8 m. We are told an object travels this distance in 0.81 seconds. It does not make sense to say the object is traveling at a velocity of 12.11111111 m/s, that is, to eight decimal places.
This is because neither the distance nor the time taken to travel this distance is specified to this degree of precision. In fact, they are both specified to an accuracy of only two significant digits.
For reasons we will discuss shortly, we can say the object is traveling at a velocity of 12.1 m/s.
For many calculations in statics, we work to at most three significant digits.
Rules for Finding the Correct Number of Significant Digits[edit | edit source]
In general, when making a calculation, the answer can not have more significant digits than any of the numbers used in calculating it. The number of significant digits in an answer is equal to the minimum number of significant digits used in the calculation.
Here are rules that will help outline whether or not a digit is significant or not.
Non-zero numbers are always significant.
Zeros placed in between two other digits are significant.
Zeros placed at the end of a number, after a decimal, are significant.

According to Carolyn Bartos, fire information officer for the Northwest Fire Centre, local residents can expect to see smouldering ground fires and smoke within the perimeters of existing wildfires over the coming weeks.
"This is common with large wildfires and may continue for some time," she explained. "If smoke is rising from well within a fire's perimeter and the area is surrounded by black, burned material, this is typically not a concern; however, smoke rising from green, unburned fuel or from outside a fire's perimeter should be reported immediately."
Bartos said it's possible that these fires can hold over winter as they burn in subsurface fuels such as roots, peat and other decomposed organic matter, but are not expected to burn in surface fuels or within the trees.
"Throughout the fall and also in the spring of 2019, these fires will be continuously monitored and further suppression efforts may be taken if necessary," she added.
The Shovel Lake Fire, located approximately six km north of Fraser Lake, has burned over 92,000 hectares. The Nadina Lake Fire, located approximately 40 km southwest of Burns Lake, has consumed over 86,000 hectares. And the Verdun Mountain Fire, located approximately nine km southwest of Grassy Plains, has burned over 47,000 hectares.
Firefighters continue to patrol for hotspots and monitor these areas.
Meanwhile a series of area restriction orders remain in effect for the Verdun Mountain, Island Lake, Cheslatta Lake, Nadina Lake, Hautete (Morrison Mainline), Gilmore Lake, Cheslaslie Arm and Torkelsen Lake wildfires. All of these fires are located within 100 km of Burns Lake.
According to the provincial government, these area restriction orders were implemented to protect public safety and to avoid interference with fire suppression efforts and wildfire rehabilitation work.
All evacuation orders on the Southside have been rescinded. However, evacuation alerts for the Nadina Lake and Verdun Mountain fires remain in place as of press time.
Campfires, as well as category two and category three open fires, are once again allowed throughout the Northwest Fire Centre's jurisdiction.
The current B.C. wildfire season has broken the record as the number of hectares burned across the province has exceeded 2017's total.

It seems that the mysql-testsuite is trying to enable the InnoDB engine and failing; according to upstream documentation, the InnoDB engine is the default engine in mysql-5.5, so perhaps the testsuite has not been updated to take this into account?
Oh, the command run above ('./mysql-test-run.pl --force --vardir=/var/tmp/mysql/testsuite/var/ --tmpdir=/var/tmp/mysql/testsuite/tmp --comment=normal --timer --skip-ndbcluster --report-features') is based on the commands generated for the 'make test-bt' target; see mysql-test/CMakeLists.txt for details.
Hi Steve, thanks for the report. It looks like I forgot to add a metapackage for 'mysql-testsuite' so this was actually runing the 5.1.58 test suite.

Twin Peaks Announce Album, "Wild Onion"
Garage-pop quartet Twin Peaks have announced a new album Wild Onion, which will be released on August 5 via Grand Jury. The lead single, "Flavor" can be found below and is damn good.
The influences can be heard immediately, mixing the modern sounds of lo-fi found in Ty Segall, The Black Lips and Thee Oh Sees. But Twin Peaks seem to have the desire to make a lasting impression, and Wild Onion will be their best shot to prove the believers correct.

INTERVIEW: The Faint
In late April, The Faint embarked on their first US Tour in over 3 years. Making stops in clubs and venues throughout the nation, bringing their notoriously raucous live show back to the public after their hiatus.
Fresh off the release of their sixth studio LP, Doom Abuse, which is their first since 2008's Fasciination and also their first on their new label SQE. It provides just as much nefarious electronic melodies as their previous works, highlighted within tracks like "Evil Voices" which repeats a chorus of 'Evil voices lie when they say you're alone'.
The group consists of Todd Fink (Vocals, Keyboard), Jacob Thiele (keyboards, backup vocals), Dapose (Guitars), and Clark Baechle (Percussion); in anticipation of their US Tour this Spring, FPT asked members of The Faint some questions.
When you took the break/hiatus, did you expect that you'd be making music as a collective again?
TODD: I always thought the band would go on forever, then we got sick of it and stopped for three years. I don't know what I thought about our future during that time. All of the sudden we cared again... we just went after it - no end in sight.
How does it feel to be "back" and what did you miss the most?
TODD: I love the process of making music: all of the steps. But what I really missed during the break was playing live: building that energy in the room; living in the music; with lights flashing in your face, drunk, dripping sweat and pulling fog deep into your lungs... you know, living in the moment!
What kept you guys busy during the hiatus; and what inspired you to reconvene and continue making music as The Faint?
CLARK: Todd, Jacob and I started an electronic project called Depressed Buttons. We had fun diving into the electronic world and experimenting with sounds and DJing. Dapose put out a rad noise record called "Positive Feedback". I also toured drumming for Bright Eyes for most of 2011. We kept busy but when we all ended up back in Omaha at the same time, it just sounded like fun to make some new Faint songs.
What was the creative process like when creating Doom Abuse compared to creating previous albums? What do you hope to accomplish with this album?
DAP: The creative process was all about having fun making this record. The last two albums were too labor intensive and that killed the freshness of our band and made the end result a bit stale. We always got such great complements about our live show and how much more energy people got out of the shows than the albums. So we set up for more live recording on this record. Incorporated first-takes on synth parts and guitar tones and shit. There's a lot of feedback and mistakes that could have been edited out but we didn't want a clean record.
What do you hope will bring people out to the shows on this tour? What should fans expect?
JACOB: We just love to perform and I think people recognize that. We are always trying to make the lights, video, and sound come together to make it a memorable and inspiring experience. We want to do more than just get up there and play our songs. People should expect a lot of dancing and loss of inhibitions!
The Faint will make a stop at Metro in Chicago later this month on May 23rd, and have announced Reptar as support for a leg of the tour. Based on The Faint's reputation of a fierce and unyielding live show, it is one you won't want to miss, and fans who thought they'd never see another show from the band, are surely to revel in the opportunity and go absolutely ape shit. Tickets for that show are available here, and the rest of the dates are listed below.

The Antlers return on June 17 with Familiars, their full-length follow-up to 2011's Burst Apart and 2012's Underwater EP. The band has already streamed the album's first single, the elegiac "Palace". Now you can listen to the hypnotic and somber "Hotel". And if these two delicately mournful tracks are any indication, this won't be the feel-good summertime release from The Antlers that none of us were expecting.

And now on this episode of "There's Nothing to See in *insert wherever dafuq you ended up this time" we feature La Ceiba, the capital of the Caribbean department of Atlántida. Not originally on the itinerary, I thought it was a cheaper alternative to taking a flight to Roatán which would have cost a little over $100. For those headed to either Útila or Coxen Hole, La Ceiba has ferries plying those routes for around $30. The caveat is you have to pass by La Ceiba, which many people actually do. They don't stay here, though.
In my case, I decided to stay for two nights just to take it slow. The bus ride from SPS took almost 5 hours, but it wasn't because the bus was always stopping. In fact, this bus only had one major stop in Tela halfway through. Most of the next stops were for passengers getting off at random fields and sections of the highway en route to wherever it is they reside. The bus does not pick up passengers, though, because it is strict when it comes to its seating capacity. The bus I took was Transportes la Cristina which cost HNL150 (~PHP315).
The aircon on the bus was for display only. Eventually, you are going to have to open the windows for fresh air to come in along with scorching sunlight. After 5 hours or so and an excruciatingly mandatory viewing of Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill dubbed in Spanish, we finally arrived in what is supposed to be Honduras' third largest city, except that it doesn't look anything like its homicidal and murderous sisters. La Ceiba looks like a really sleepy small town with a large population. What you get is a small city with limited options as far as tourist infrastructure is concerned. I find it to be a shame because this capital of Atlántida actually has potential for a tourist boom, what with being the de facto city along the country's Caribbean coast.
But let's not kid ourselves here. The crown for Honduras' Jewel of the Caribbean Sea has always been held by the Bay Islands. La Ceiba is like the less fortunate sister in terms of charm and beauty, the one you just establish a friendly relationship with to act as a bridge to the prettier sibling. Literally, that's what La Ceiba has served as for most tourists, namely a stopover to get to the Bay Islands. If they don't want to splurge on flights, that is, because Roatán arguably has better air connections than La Ceiba itself.
If heading to the Bay Islands, you have two options for your ferry ride. Útila Dream and Galaxy Wave. The former arrives in Útila from La Ceiba in under an hour; the latter, in Dixon Cove in 70 minutes. Once you reach the islands, it's easier to get out of Honduras from there by plane. Both ferries leave from the same port in La Ceiba, but different terminals.
Since there is nothing much to see, an afternoon stroll sufficed to check out the main locations where locals tend to converge. That area is the Central Park and its immediate vicinity. The park has busts of Lempira, Francisco Morazán, and Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra, who now have to share the limelight with Santa Claus and his reindeers because it's almost Christmas. Catholic country, y'all. Pizza Hut, Church's Chicken, and Little Caesars are among your choices for western fast food, all just a stone's throw way across the adjacent streets.
Once done here, head north to get to the Malecón, which made me sadder than happier because it felt a bit run down. I imagine the place could be a lively venue for local community life. Or perhaps I was just there too early when the sun was at its starkest? There you will see La Ceiba's bold signage declaring itself as Honduras' Girlfriend, unless "La Novia de Honduras" has some other hidden connotations I am not aware of. Bold assumption, but we love the confidence. Walk around a bit more and you will stumble upon colorful wall graffiti which I guess serve as La Ceiba's edge over Tegus and SPS. Other than that, nothing to see.

While we were away… On Saturday, Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The selection, 37 days before a presidential election, sets up what is likely to become a bitter Senate confirmation battle. Harvard Law professor Noah Feldman, who testified in favor of Trump's impeachment, expressed his approval of the pick.
At a campaign rally on Friday, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden compared Trump to Joseph Goebbels… The New York Timesrevealed that Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he became president.

Members of Congress to launch international task force to combat online antisemitism
Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL)
A bipartisan group of members of Congress will announce on Tuesday the creation of a new global inter-parliamentary task force to combat digital antisemitism, Jewish Insider's Jacob Kornbluh reports.
Details: Members of the task force include Reps. Ted Deutch (D-FL), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), along with elected officials from major parties in Canada, the U.K. and Australia. Another member of the panel is member of Knesset Michal Cotler-Wunsh from Israel's Blue and White Party, the daughter of former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler. The goals set by the task force include raising awareness about online antisemitism and establishing a consistent message in legislatures across the world to hold social media platforms accountable. The group will also work to adopt and publish transparent policies related to hate speech.
Time is now: Deutch told JI the lawmakers coalesced around the issue of online antisemitism because as social media continues to grow, "it's unfortunately more and more being used to spread hatred and antisemitism. And we know that what may begin as online threats in the virtual world can lead to violence in the real world." In a statement, Cotler-Wunsh said: "Always and at this time in particular as we stand united in fighting a global pandemic, another virus rages that requires global collaboration and cooperation."
United force: Deutch maintained that "the power of having a group of elected officials" from different parties across the world come together on this issue "will highlight the need for action by the companies and the need for action by our respective legislative bodies." He added: "And most importantly, we hope this will help advance the conversation that's premised upon the fundamental understanding that we just shouldn't accept this spread of antisemitism that we've seen on social media platforms."
Cancer 'previvor' Ali Rogin sets out to fill in the gaps for other women
When "PBS NewsHour" producer Ali Rogin was told by her doctor that she tested positive for the BRCA-1 gene mutation — which significantly increased her risk of breast and ovarian cancer — she didn't quite know where to turn. "I really wanted to consume as many accounts as I could of people who went through the same experience that I did," Rogin told Jewish Insider's Melissa Weiss in a recent interview. "And there simply were not that many books out there that dealt with the experiences that I went through." So Rogin set about creating one.
Uncharted territory: Rogin's first book, Beat Breast Cancer Like a Boss, which was released earlier this month, shares the first-hand experiences of dozens of women at different stages of their fight with the disease. The women interviewed throughout the book range from actresses to musicians, authors, businesswomen and politicians. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) shared her story of undergoing a prophylactic double mastectomy during a February congressional recess after learning that she, like 1 in 40 Ashkenazi Jewish women, was a carrier for the gene mutation.
Family ties: Some of the women featured were contacts Rogin had amassed during more than a decade as a journalist. Others she reached through persistent cold-calling. She was able to tap into family connections for women in the entertainment industry — her father, Max Weinberg, is the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Close community: One of the women Rogin interviewed is Sally Oren, who was diagnosed with breast cancer while her then-husband, Michael Oren, was serving as Israel's ambassador to the United States. After learning of her diagnosis, Oren confided in a close friend, the wife of the Norwegian ambassador, who connected Oren with a group of diplomatic spouses who had all experienced or were in the middle of their own cancer fight. "You can be more intimate with people who are going through the same experience as you," Oren explained to Rogin. "And also, you can be irreverent. You can be funny. Sometimes, people don't know how to behave [around people with cancer]. It's hard for them. I don't blame them, but they don't quite know what to do with someone's diagnosis. But we laughed together. There was an ease at being able to express yourself."
Paying it forward: Learning at such a young age that she carried the mutated BRCA gene and being able to take preventative measures has empowered Rogin to do what she can to educate women about their own risk factors — and to encourage regular medical check-ups and testing. "I want to use my experience to help others," Rogin said. "I don't want to be defined by my possession of this genetic mutation. But I'm totally cool being defined as somebody who has used challenges in her life to help others. I think that's in the spirit of tikkun olam."

tar heel tussle
Moe Davis is banking on a redrawn map to win a bitter North Carolina contest
Moe Davis had no intention of running for Congress when he retired from his position as a judge in the U.S. Department of Labor and moved with his wife to the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina in the spring of 2019. The former Air Force colonel and military prosecutor, now mounting his first bid for public office, says he had planned to spend his days largely at leisure. "If I had any notion of running, I wouldn't have put all my suits in long-term storage," Davis, 62, quipped in an interview with Jewish Insider's Matthew Kassel.
Eyeing an opportunity: But North Carolina's 11th congressional district was recently redrawn to include all of Asheville, a liberal stronghold. The new, court-ordered map gives Democrats a glimmer of hope that they can claim the seat this cycle, though Republicans still have an advantage in the historically red district. Still, Davis saw an opportunity. He entered the race in December 2019 thinking he would be challenging former Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), who vacated the seat to become President Donald Trump's chief of staff. Davis is now competing against Madison Cawthorn, a 25-year-old political upstart whose campaign has hit some snags as some of his past social media comments — including an Instagram post in which he referred to Adolf Hitler as "the Führer" — have surfaced.
Background: Davis grew up in Shelby, about an hour east of Asheville. He joined the Air Force in the early 1980s and worked his way up to colonel, during which time he served as the chief military prosecutor at Guantánamo Bay, prosecuting Al-Qaeda terror suspects. He quit in protest after refusing to use evidence obtained by torture. Davis's decision to stand up for his principles wasn't an easy one, according to Amos Guiora, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Israel Defense Forces who met Davis nearly 20 years ago. "Moe got blasted for being unpatriotic," said Guiora. "He did exactly what he said he would do."
Foreign policy view: Davis is aware his opponent has an edge in the traditionally conservative district, and he has made an effort to put forward policy proposals that place him squarely in the political center. But he doesn't hesitate to call out the president for what he views as a litany of failures, particularly on the international stage. Davis reserves his harshest criticism for Trump's move to withdraw American troops from northern Syria, leaving Kurdish forces in the lurch. "The thing that really appalls me the most is abandoning the Kurds in Syria after they fought and died for us fighting ISIS," Davis said. "We used to be a dependable, reliable ally, and I think right now, with the current administration, that that's no longer the case."
Campaign promise: The congressional hopeful promises that he has no political ambitions beyond the House. "I'm not going to run for the Senate or president or anything else," he said. If he is elected, Davis said he will serve in the House until he feels the timing is right to return to his retirement. "We built a really nice house with a nice porch," he said, "and I want to sit on the porch and drink some good IPAs and enjoy some of the time I got left."

Sweet New Year
The Israeli startup with the answer to high-calorie sugar
Can natural sugar contain fewer calories? One Israeli startup aims to prove the answer is yes. In The New Yorker, Nicola Twilley profiles the company, DouxMatok, and its founding CEO Eran Baniel.
Warning: As government health agencies have increasingly taken aim at high-sugar foods over the past decade, requiring health warning labels and even introducing new taxes on sugary products, the race has begun to find a suitable, lower-calorie natural replacement for sugar. DouxMatok — matok is Hebrew for sweet — is an innovator in an increasingly competitive field, and is preparing to explode on to the open market later this year.
Beginnings: Baniel was inspired to start the company by his father, Avraham Baniel, a chemist who made some early discoveries on artificial sweeteners in the 1990s. The elder Baniel grew up in British Mandate Palestine, where, after receiving a degree from the University of Montpelier, he worked as a bombmaker in Haifa. After 1967, Avraham helped create Israel's mining institute and began work as a chemical engineer. "The first chemical technology sold abroad by Israel was from my father," Eran told The New Yorker. This work extended into the field of artificial flavoring and sweeteners, which Avraham undertook as a consultant for a British company in the 1990s.
Sweet! DouxMatok's "Incredo" sweetener will soon reach European and American markets through a deal with the German sugar behemoth Südszucker and an undisclosed American company. According to The New Yorker, a blind taste test showed two-thirds of tasters preferred a cookie (a petit beurre, to be exact) made with Incredo over the same recipe made with regular sugar.

Court Cases & Orders
In Court, Must a "Private" Facebook Page Stay Private?
In a recent Nova Scotia case called Conrod v. Caverley, the court considered an evidentiary question of modern-day importance: Can a court order a plaintiff to disclose his or her "private" Facebook page?
The plaintiff had sued the defendant in connection with a motor vehicle collision, claiming that the injuries she suffered had left her with severe neck, back, arm and leg pain. Since the accident she had been unable to return to work; she claimed a loss of enjoyment of life, including an inability to fully participate in social and recreational activities. She also complained of impaired concentration, which affected her ability to spend time surfing the internet.
In response to these claims, the defendant went to court to ask for an order requiring the plaintiff to produce a full, printed copy of her Facebook profile, including the information and photographs that – due to her privacy settings – were only visible to her "friends". He also asked for a printed copy of her Facebook usage history, including her login/logout information. He claimed that this information was relevant to her damages claim relating to loss of enjoyment of life, as well as her complaint that she could not concentrate or participate socially to the extent she had done before the accident.
In making its decision, the court relied heavily on two prior Ontario cases in which the same issue was raised, also in connection with motor vehicle accidents.
In Leduc v. Roman, the defence had asked for an order allowing it to see the plaintiff's entire Facebook profile, including the information and photographs that had been set as private. Ultimately, the court declined, finding that it was merely speculative that – given the nature of Facebook – the contents of a "typical" private Facebook profile would likely include material relevant to the litigation. Rather (and as with all types of evidence), the plaintiff could be cross-examined in the usual fashion on what potentially-relevant content might be contained there.
In making this ruling, the court in Leduc relied on the reasoning in an earlier similar decision, Murphy v. Perger, which also involved a request for access to the private portion of a plaintiff's Facebook profile. In that case, the judge had outlined the following principles governing Facebook information sought to be used in accident litigation:
• It is reasonable for a court to infer that, given its social-networking nature, Facebook contains some content that is relevant to the issue of how the injured plaintiff has been able to lead his or her life since the accident.
• Where the party sets their entire profile to "private" (so that the public page consists only of name and possibly photo), then a court can infer – given the social networking purpose of Facebook – that users make personal information available and photos available to others.
• Where a party to litigation has both a "private" and "public" profile, it is also reasonable to infer that the content of both profiles will likely be similar. In the right circumstances, a court is therefore entitled to order that the private profile be produced.
Returning to the Nova Scotia case, the court applied those principles to the facts at hand: Looking specifically at the plaintiff's public Facebook page, the court declined to jump to the conclusion that it necessarily contained information relevant to her litigation claim. Nor could it conclude based on that same publicly-accessible information that the contents of her private page would likely be relevant and should be ordered produced.
On the other hand, the court did order that the plaintiff's log of internet usage with respect to her Facebook account be produced; that information was directly relevant to her claim that the accident injuries had affected her ability to concentrate, and was therefore relevant.

This is very much about the glory.
Netflix's new original documentary CounterPunch opens with writer, director, and former amateur boxer Jay Bulger (Beware of Mr. Baker) reminiscing about how boxing saved his life. As a troubled young man, boxing kept him off the streets and gave him a new focus for his time and energy—as well as his more violent impulses. Now, however, much has changed. The sport itself is very different from the long heyday when athletes like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Sugar Ray Leonard pushed boxing to new heights.
As Bulger explains, many of the neighborhood boxing gyms that helped turn out these legendary talents are now shuttered, making it harder for potentials to fall under the sport's spell, and many of those kids are instead lured in by football or basketball. With all that in mind, CounterPunch introduces viewers to three young boxers at very different places in their careers, and through exploring their trials and tribulations, the film paints a broader picture of a sport at a crossroads.
First up is the Prospect, a high school-aged boxer who goes by "Lil' B-Hop." He's just getting into the game, a potent mix of potential, raw talent, and the fiery ego of a young athlete who hasn't yet been humbled. Next up is Cam Awesome, an up-and-coming amateur with dreams of Olympic gold. He's incredibly charming, driven, and frequently wrong-foots his opponents thanks to a nontraditional style they mistake for sloppy—until he puts them on the floor. Finally there's Peter Quillin, a pro boxer who held the WBO middleweight title between 2012 and 2014… before giving it up, ostensibly to take a break and focus on his family. In CounterPunch, we see Quillin ramping up his training in order to get back in the ring.
CounterPunch ducks and weaves between these three stories, in the process doing a solid job of illuminating the choices facing aspiring boxers in the modern era. B-Hop is the kid just getting started, someone who has a real shot at going the distance and becoming a superstar. But we also see how his ego and inexperience threaten to derail that potential, as well as his mother's concerns that he won't finish college. Quillin showcases the other end of the spectrum, someone who has already found success in his chosen field, including fame and wealth. By exploring the reasons why Quillin stepped away from his title, CounterPunch also touches on the behind-the-scenes politics and deal-making that run rife through the sport, casting shadows over what should theoretically be a simple question of "who's the better fighter?" Quillin has what B-Hop is chasing, but CounterPunch also finds the older fighter facing the realization that stepping away for a while may have cost him precious momentum.
Far from the fame and glory of the professional world, CounterPunch also explores the idealistic side of things with Cam Awesome (not his original name, but now his legal one). Olympic boxing doesn't have quite the shine it once did for many aspiring fighters, in part due to the American boxing team's fallen fortunes in recent years. Amateur fighters working toward a slot on the American boxing team most likely aren't going to get rich from it, at least not directly, so for Cam and his competition, this is very much about the glory. As Cam says at one point, he doesn't care about a seven-figure payday—he just wants to stand between two other boxers and watch them force smiles while the national anthem plays.
We won't spoil where CounterPunch leaves each of these athletes, but the path it leads viewers along is engaging and entertaining, even for those who might not have any fondness for the sport itself. Bulger's narration and directorial choices provide all the information you need to understand the challenges and choices faced by these men, without requiring you to know what the hell a welterweight is. The best sports stories aren't about the numbers on the scoreboard, but rather the very human drama behind it. CounterPunch has that in spades.

Kenny Chesney Co-Wrote His New Single, 'Tip of My Tongue', With Ed Sheeran
Kenny Chesney fans, are you ready for new music? The country star's next single, "Tip of My Tongue," is coming on July 12 -- and he co-wrote it with pop star Ed Sheeran.
According to a press release, Chesney's frequent collaborator Ross Copperman, also a co-writer on the song, brought Sheeran into the mix. "The way creativity works in creative people is so different, but it's always exciting," Chesney says of working with Sheeran.
"As a co-write with a new writer, it's one of the most fun sessions I've done in a long time," he adds. "I get why people love working with him."
The press release describes "Tip of My Tongue" as a song with a "sweeping groove and an almost humid melody lift," one that "merges desire and connection over a figure of speech in a classic songwriting technique." "A quiet, almost watery open ... builds to a full-bodied chorus with layered vocals, muted bass, keyboards and a rhythm track," the release notes; according to Chesney, the song's melody "feels like what's going on lyrically. The music matches the words, and you can just drift in it."
"It's funny how a figure of speech can lead you to all kinds of places. You start talking, and words fall out, and anything can happen," Chesney says. "When you go in and write on any given day, the chemistry is what it is. When the idea fell out, we all just laughed and went, 'Well, what can we do with that?'"
"Tip of My Tongue" will be Chesney's first single from a forthcoming new album, co-produced by Buddy Cannon. Chesney signed with Warner Music Nashville in early 2018, after more than two decades with Sony Music Nashville. His first album with the label, Songs for the Saints, dropped in July.
Fans will be able to hear "Tip of My Tongue" when it's released at 6AM ET on July 12.

Is Kanye West really running for President in 2020?
According to him, YES. Kanye West set the fireworks off all over the internet today (July 4th) with his announcement that he intends to run for president in 2020.
"We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future," West wrote on Twitter. "I am running for president of the United States!" He concludes with #2020VISION. There are only 122 days left between now and the upcoming election.
We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States 🇺🇸! #2020VISION
— ye (@kanyewest) July 5, 2020
Of course, people are in disbelief and the jokes, memes, and First Lady Kim Kardashian West are trending all over Twitter. Not only did he get an endorsement from his wife, Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted, "You have my full support!"
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCGt8UHBk6c/
Last November, he talked about the potential of running for President in 2024 after Donald Trump. "When I run for president in 2024, we would've created so many jobs that I'm not going to run, I'm going to walk," he said. Kanye kicked the new year off with a series of tweets still supporting Trump, so this announcement comes as a major surprise. Now we'll just have to wait and see if he was serious, or just had a few too many at the BBQ…

[caption id="attachment_884815" align="alignnone" width="593"] Source: Snoop Dogg / Instagram[/caption] Snoop Dogg may be blessing fans with a new collaboration with Dr. Dre and Kanye West, but the project has left some fans calling the Cali legend out. On Sunday (Jun 28), Snoop Dogg took to Instagram to share news that he was in a studio session with Kanye West and Dr. Dre over the weekend, presumably to work on the highly anticipated sequel to Jesus Is King, which Kanye recently confirmed is coming soon. In the video, Snoop gives fans a preview before noting that the music he was previewing was from Kanye. "Kanye West got some hot music. Shhhhh. Kanye West got some hot shit. Only I can get exclusive footage," Snoop said. "Shut up. Motherf*cker. Kanye West got some hot shit. It's finna come out. Dr. Dre touched dat." https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7ecY6Dko-/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link After setting the internet ablaze with the snippet, Snoop posted another picture of himself in studio with Dr. Dre with the caption, "Bac2gether again ," prompting rumors tha Dr. Dre was finally working on his highly anticipated and long awaited album, Detox. https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8B14DDxC3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Although the news of Snoop being back in studio left the majority of fans rejoicing, some took to Twitter to call the Long Beach OG out for his hypocrisy of working with Kanye, who he trolled and called out for his political views and support of Donald Trump, after calling for a boycott of the rapper. In 2018 during an interview with VLAD, Snoop Dogg expressed his strong feelings toward Trump supporters, which included Kanye. "If you like that n***a, you're motherf*cking racist," Snoop exclaimed. "F*ck you and f*ck him…Kanye too, n***a, don't forget about him too, f*ck you too! Throw him in the bag 'cause he right with them motherf*ckers." Although it appears that Snoop has put his political differences to the side, Twitter wasn't so forgiving after fans began calling out Snoop for the hypocrisy for working with him. "F*ck snoop dogg," one fan wrote. "He's the biggest hypocrite. He was talking all bad about Kanye when he was wearing MAGA hats now he's in the Stu with him? Lame as hell." https://twitter.com/andrewkeef/status/1276908915620380672?s=21 While Snoop has yet to respond to the backlash, he did take time to address his feelings about Kanye and his political views, noting that he doesn't "hate" Ye', just the system that "uses him." "It's not me being mad at him," he specified, "it's me being mad at the system for using him, and he not having the smart people around him to see that." https://youtu.be/_euqob1x7k0 Check out what fans had to say below.

The most explosive news of last week may be the publishing of Panama Papers. It first starts with one of the biggest secrecy leaks in the history, including 11.5 million confidential documents linked with 214,000 offshore companies in Mossack Fonseca, obtained by a Germany Paper Süddeutsche Zeitung from an anonymous source in 2015. They then worked with International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), which distributed documents for investigation and analysis to some 400 journalists at 107 media organizations in more than eighty countries. It took them a year to draw a worldwide picture of "politicians, criminals and the rogue industry that hides their cash".
The papers were published on 3rd April and have drawn intensive attentions around the world and brought profound effects to some countries. The Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson resigned on the next two days, 5th April, an apparent casualty of the Panama Papers leaks revealing his links to offshore companies.
With such a large amount of data, how journalists process information and make them easily readable and understandable to audiences? Well, the ICIJ and the Guardian show us the answers.
This is the power leader page of Li Peng in the Panama Papers. On the left side, it has clearly showed the relation between him and Li Xiaolin and their life introductions. On the right side, the center of the image is Liu Zhiyuan, the husband of Li Xiaolin, has owned a lot of offshore assets and companies through multi layers of relations.
Zooming in, we can see a clearer vision of the relations between Liu and those offshore companies and assets. There are three types of them, is officer of, registered address and registered. And the properties he owned or managed can be categorized into four types, company, officer, address and client.
If we click on any subjects on the relations map, there is a mark popping up with detailed information. If it is a company, they will provide audience with the file number, jurisdiction, name and status. If it is a client, they will offer name, status, client number, client names, attorney, special rates and compliance classification. And the subjects can be dragged on anywhere else on the map with the changes of the lines showing relations.
The Guardian uses simple diagram to show us the registered places of more than 200,000 offshore companies, which are also tax heavens for property and bank accounts holding. We can see that the most popular locations among the law firm's clients is British Virgin Islands, followed by Panama, Bah and Sey. Most of them registered around Caribbean.
The intermediaries between Mossack Fonseca and offshore properties are shown upon using the same way of illustration. Accountants, lawyers, banks and trust companies from Hong Kong and Swaziland take up the biggest proportion of intermediating role.
Clearly, we can see the biggest players of the game by the first sight – China and Russia.
Though this chart is different from the above, it is still very simple and easy to understand. The scale of Panama Paper leak outweighs past information leaks significantly, amounting to 2.6TB of confidential documents around the world.
The ICIJ and the Guardian have both done a great job on presenting the facts to audience. ICIJ report shows great interactivity, simplicity and reader-friendliness. And it should be highly respected with such a huge amount of information to be processed and presented. The Guardian produces another report based on the information provided by ICIJ, and they also shows high degree of simplicity and reader-friendliness to inform audiences the facts of Panama Papers.
There will be more news and political actions following Panama Papers in the upcoming days, and now we know how powerful data news can be. You can lie with texts, but not data.


There are actually numerous particulars like that to take into consideration. That may be a great level to carry up. I provide the thoughts above as normal inspiration however clearly there are questions just like the one you bring up the place an important factor can be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round issues like that, however I am positive that your job is clearly recognized as a good game.
