Martin County, Florida, is building a county-owned network (that we wrote about back in September) in response to gross overcharging by Comcast for the connections they need to connect their City Departments.
The County Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to allocate $100,000 to pay experts to advise county officials about ways the new broadband network the county government is constructing could be used to generate revenue as well as promote economic development and job creation.
Precision Contracting Services of Jupiter started construction on the $4.2 million network in January and is expected to finish the project by January 2012. The network is expected to serve 280 government, public safety, educational and health care organizations.
Having committed to building a network to meet their own needs, they are now searching for ways to leverage that investment to best meet community needs. They will evaluate laws, conduct a survey of residents and businesses to find what their needs/desires are, and possibly develop a business plan.
Last Monday, the day before the planned vote, a Comcast regional VP had the gall to ask the County Commissioners to delay their vote. No thanks Comcast, these folks have waited long enough for the broadband they need, that you have no interested in delivering in a timely nor affordable manner. On Tuesday, the Council voted unanimously to approve the contract.
In two articles, Jesse Harris offers some insight as to how one can evaluate UTOPIA as a success or failure. In the first article, "Defining UTOPIA's Success," he looks at some of the indirect benefits from the network.
Financial success is the most obvious kind. It's very easy to look at expenditures and revenues and come up with a bottom line figure. I don't mean to discount the importance of coming up with a positive number at the end of that statement, but it really isn't the entire financial picture. (Take a look at my breakdown of Provo's real and potential savings from iProvo for a good example.) Orem, for example, is saving somewhere in the neighborhood of $600K per year in telecommunications costs by using UTOPIA fiber in their city. None of the other cities have released similar figures (at least not that I am aware of), but I think it safe to say that they are experiencing similar savings. Such an approach also fails to recognize that incumbent providers are forced to offer better service and pricing to attract and retain customers. Based on national figures, a UTOPIA-served neighborhood is likely to save 25% or more off of telecommunications costs.
In the second and longer article, "FUD Alert: Utah Taxpayers Association Continues to Bend and Cherry-Pick the Truth," he directly answers one of the fiercest critics of UTOPIA - the UTA.
His response is well worth a read as a model example of how to respond to these ignorant attacks. We cannot allow lies against community broadband to go unchecked - thank you Jesse for your strong response.


Directors David H. Bell, Carl Menninger and Ron OJ Parson will helm the three productions slated for Windy City Playhouse's second season as Chicago's newest Equity newest professional theater. The company, located at 3014 W. Irving Park, will present the Chicago premiere of Nell Benjamin's slapstick farce, "The Explorers Club" directed by Bell; Melissa James Gibson's "This," "an unromantic comedy," directed by Menninger, and the Chicago premiere of Jeff Daniels' gentle romance, "Apartment 3A," directed by Parson.
+ "THE EXPLORERS CLUB" (begins Jan. 27, 2016), Nell Benjamin's play, directed by Bell (familiar from his work on many musicals here, including the current English-language version of "La Révolution Française"). Benjamin homes in on the Victorian era scientific gentleman's club of the title where one member has lost nearly all his guinea pigs, another can't seem to locate the East Pole, the bartender is missing and, on top of all that, a woman wants to join. Before the British Empire crumbles under the weight, these good old boys must grapple with the approach of modernity, save the world from an international war and, for God's sake, find a new bartender — but not until after brandy and cigars. The antics of The Explorers Club are propelled by a woman who believes the blue-skinned aboriginal she's liberated from his native tribe and brought to London will be her ticket to becoming the club's first female member. Benjamin, the Tony Award-nominated co-composer and lyricist of Broadway's "Legally Blonde," has penned a madcap physical comedy, animated by lightning-quick dialogue, daredevil stunts, precision acrobatics and onstage snakes and guinea pigs.
+ "THIS" (begins June 15, 2016): Melissa James Gibson's play, directed by Menninger (Windy City's artistic associate, who is returning home from Washington, D.C. to direct the Chicago premiere of this off-Broadway hit), finds Jane and her college pals on the cusp of leaving their thirties and entering full-on middle age. They could use some laughs. Bu through conversations that bring warm moments and reminiscences, secrets creep in, too. In between camaraderie and support comes adultery, and mashed up against friendship comes betrayal. Jane must come to terms with friends she thought she knew and the woman she thought she was in order to become whole again. Dubbed "a melanchomedy," the play looks at four educated, artistically inclined New Yorkers in this 2002 Obie award-winning play that was developed by Steppenwolf Theatre as part of its New Plays Lab in 1997 and produced at Chicago's Roadworks Theatre in 2000.
+ "APARTMENT 3A" (begins Oct. 5, 2016): Actor-musician-playwright Jeff Daniels' play, directed by Parson (now at work on the Court Theatre production of "Gem of the Ocean"), unfolds in what "might be the nicest apartment in the building, though it can't possibly be enough to make up for the day Annie Wilson has just had." After catching her boyfriend in an acrobatic act of infidelity, spirited young idealist Annie has a televised melt-down at the local PBS station and moves into a shabby apartment. This may turn out to be the most magical move she's ever made as a simple visit from an enigmatic new neighbor starts to change things for the better and Annie has to ask: Is it fate, luck, or… divine intervention? "Apartment 3A" premiered regionally at Daniels' Purple Rose Theatre Company, in Chelsea, Michigan.

Men and women need adequate levels of testosterone for optimal mental and physical health and for the prevention of chronic illnesses like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, which are associated with low testosterone levels. Testosterone, delivered by pellet implant, increases lean body mass (muscle strength, bone density) and decreases fat mass even in patients who have failed with other types of hormone therapy.
Data supports that hormone replacement therapy with pellet implants is the most effective and the most bio-identical method to deliver hormones in both men and women. Implants, placed under the skin, consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones providing optimal therapy. Pellets have been used in both men and women since the late 1930's.
Pellets are made up of either estradiol or testosterone. The hormones are pressed or fused into very small solid cylinders. These pellets are larger than a grain of rice and smaller than a breath mint. Pellets deliver consistent, healthy levels of hormones for 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men. They avoid the fluctuations, or ups and downs, of hormone levels seen with every other method of delivery. Estrogen delivered by subcutaneous pellets, maintains the normal ratio of estradiol to estrone. This is important for optimal health and disease prevention. Pellets do not increase the risk of blood clots like conventional or synthetic hormone replacement therapy.
Testosterone delivered by a pellet implant, has been used to treat migraine and menstrual headaches. It also helps with vaginal dryness, incontinence, urinary urgency and frequency. In both men and women, testosterone has been shown to increase energy, relieve depression, increase sense of well being, relieve anxiety and improve memory and concentration.
The insertion of pellets is a simple, relatively painless procedure done under local anesthesia. The pellets are usually inserted in the lower abdominal wall or upper buttocks through a small incision, which is then taped closed. The experience of the health care professional matters a great deal, not only in placing the pellets, but also in determining the correct dosage of hormones to be used. Complications from the insertion of pellets include: minor bleeding or bruising, discoloration of the skin, infection, and the possible extrusion of the pellet. Other than slight bruising, or discoloration of the skin, these complications are very rare. Testosterone stimulates the bone marrow and increases the production of red blood cells. A low testosterone level in older men is a cause of anemia. Testosterone, delivered by implants or other methods, can cause an elevation in the red blood cells. If the hemoglobin and hematocrit (blood count) get too high, a unit of blood may be donated.
After the insertion of the implants, vigorous physical activity is avoided for 48 hours in women and up to 5 to 7 days in men. Early physical activity is a cause of 'extrusion', which is a pellet working its way out. Antibiotics may be prescribed if a patient is diabetic or has had a joint replaced. However, this is a 'sterile procedure' and antibiotics may not be needed.
Some patients begin to 'feel better' within 24-48 hours while others may take a week or two to notice a difference. Diet and lifestyle, along with hormone balance are critical for optimal health. Stress is a major contributor to hormone imbalance and illness. Hormone levels will be drawn and evaluated before therapy is started. This will include a FSH, estradiol, testosterone and free testosterone for women. Thyroid hormone levels may also be evaluated. Men need a PSA, sensitive estradiol, testosterone, liver profile and blood count prior to starting therapy. Levels will be reevaluated during hormone therapy, approximately 6 weeks after pellets are inserted and prior to any additional insertions. After the first year of therapy, hormones levels may be followed less frequently. Men must notify their primary care physician and obtain a digital rectal exam each year. Women are advised to continue their monthly self-breast exam and obtain a mammogram and/or pap smear as advised by their gynecologist or primary care physician.
The pellets usually last between 3-5 months in women and 4-6 months in men. The pellets do not need to be removed as they completely dissolve on their own.

Australian jailed to 10 years over British backpacker rape
Story TOpics
Law_Crime
Marcus Allyn Keith Martin
District Court Of Cairns
U.N. Court
By - Associated Press - Tuesday, May 28, 2019
SYDNEY (AP) - An Australian man who kidnapped and repeatedly raped a British backpacker during a monthlong ordeal in the country's Outback has been jailed for 10 years.
Marcus Allyn Keith Martin, 25, had pleaded guilty in the District Court of Cairns, in the far north of Queensland state, to charges of rape and deprivation of liberty against the 22-year-old woman from Liverpool, England.
Prosecutors told the court the pair met in Cairns in January 2017 and had begun a relationship.
When the relationship soured, Martin subjected the woman to weeks of physical abuse while forcing her to drive him hundreds of miles (kilometers) south and then into the west of the state.
Police intercepted the pair after the woman drove off from a gas station in the town of Mitchell, 380 miles (600 kilometers) west of Brisbane, without paying for fuel. They found Martin hiding in the back of their 4x4 vehicle.
The gas station's manager, Beverley Page, told reporters at the time that the woman was bruised and battered, and was crying and shaking, as she explained that she couldn't pay for fuel because her ex-boyfriend had her wallet.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported that prosecutor Nathan Crane told the court Martin had tried to isolate the woman on their road trip, including by cutting up her British passport.
"She feared she would be murdered," Crane said. "She tried to get the attention of other road users as they would drive along and also other service station customers, to no avail."
The court heard the woman suffered injuries including facial fractures, bruising, abrasions to her neck and cuts to her body, as well as psychological harm.
A defense lawyer for Martin had told the court his client had been taking drugs at the time, which made him "paranoid and psychotic."
In sentencing on Tuesday, Judge Dean Morzone said Martin would be required to serve at least 80% of his 10-year sentence.

Oscar Mayer products that were shipped to Ohio recalled due to possible cross-contamination
by: Michael Reiner
(WKBN)- Kraft Heinz Foods Company is recalling approximately 2,400 pounds of ready-to-eat ham and cheese loaf products, according to the USDA.
The announcement was made Monday due to possible cross-contamination with under-processed products.
Man accused of buying an RV with counterfeit money caught in Kentucky
According to the press release, 16-oz. rigid vacuum-packed packages containing "Oscar Mayer Ham & Cheese LOAF" with codes from "07 Feb 2023 20:40 7B" through "07 Feb 2023 22:16 7B" on the label were shipped to distribution centers in Ohio and Virginia. The products were produced on October 10.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service said that the problem was discovered when FSIS was notified that the product was sliced on the same equipment as product that had been under-processed, and the equipment was not cleaned between runs of the under-processed and fully cooked product. Concerns of possible cross-contamination of the fully cooked ham and cheese loaf product then surfaced.
According to the press release, the products subject to recall bear the establishment number "Est. 537V" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

At this time, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact their healthcare provider. Consumers are being urged not to eat the products.
The USDA said that these products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

If all you're interested in is a collection of the Electric Light Orchestra's hits, than this is probably the best compilation for you to buy as it contains nearly all of them. It runs the whole length of ELO's existence from 1972 to 1986, from the wonderful 10538 Overture to their awful stuff from Balance of Power (Calling America and So Serious). I can't think of a better compilation where a listener can experience a bright and interesting experimental beginning evolve into some of the most atrocious pop songs ever released. Surprisingly, whoever put this together forgot the delightfully mind-numbing stuff from the Xanadu soundtrack.
Joking aside, disc one is the best of the two discs, containing material from Jeff Lynne's better days, covering songs up through A New World Record. Disc two is quite difficult to get through. The only tracks of a progressive nature would be 10538 Overture, Roll Over Beethoven, Daybreaker, and maybe Boy Blue. The rest is firmly footed in the pop rock genre. I would rate disc one as three stars and disc two as one star, which evens out to two stars for the whole collection. Again, this is for only those of you interested in a collection of ELO's top-40 hits. If you want to give their prog rock a try, seek out their first three studio albums.

A soft, easily absorbed cream especially formulated for the delicate eye area. This contains hyaluronic acid which is found naturally in skin tissue. Abundant in young skin, as skin ages hyaluronic acid is gradually destroyed by free radical damage causing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Boosting your skin's supply of hyaluronic acid has been found to reduce the effects of ageing. Our eye cream also contains the herb eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) which has been used for centuries in eye preparations and helps reduce puffiness and soothing witchhazel.

MY WIFE IS due in a couple of months, but I have to fly to the East Coast for six weeks of training for a new job, a job I've wanted since I was 17.
The company is very family friendly, but I have to go to this training. Unfortunately, that means I'll miss the birth, and that's almost more than I can bear, knowing that I'll be so far away with no control over the situation and unable to help my wife.
She's very supportive, but I know this is going to be hard on her.
Is there such a thing as a part-time nanny who could step in for a while?
A: In the grand scheme of things, spending six weeks away from your wife and family isn't all that long. But when it comes right at the beginning of new parenthood it can be tough on everyone.
There are several things I can suggest.
First, before you go, burn some CDs or make tapes of yourself reading stories.
What you read isn't that critical, but it should be something simple with rhythm and rhymes — "The Cat in the Hat" or "Goodnight Moon" are great choices.
Then ask your wife to play the recording for the baby every night — before and after the birth. That'll keep your voice fresh in the baby's mind so when you get back you won't be as much of a stranger.
As far as your wife goes, that's a little harder.
Certainly regular calls and e-mails will be greatly appreciated, as will flowers and other special reminders that you love her (hiding some little notes around the house before you leave can be fun).
I think you're on the right track with the nanny idea. There are also birth coaches known as doulas who can be hired to assist your wife during labor and delivery.
Some also will make home visits after the birth to help with anything the family needs.
Also, if you can get friends and/or relatives to give your wife some occasional breaks, that would be good, too.
OK, that takes care of your wife and baby. What about you?
Ask your wife to e-mail you photos or video clips of the baby as often as she can and ask her to tell you what the baby's doing, and so on.
You don't want to feel as though you're completely on the outside.
That'll give you a lot of information on what's going on with your baby while you're gone and tell you what you can do to jump back into the thick of things when you get home.
Though it sounds like while this job might cause some difficulty right now, in the long run it'll enable you to better provide for your family. And that can greatly reduce the stress in your lives. Good luck!

The inability of the Arabs to accept a Jewish State in the midst of 21 Islamic Arab states is at the heart of resolving the Arab-Jewish conflict.
the palestinians I suspect don't want the stand off with Israel to ever end, if it does and peace comes - they will have to accept living normal lives like most of the rest of the world .. and do without the attention they have become used to.
what happens if all that suddenly disappears .. peace breaks out?
what will they do? they are regional tough brats, their ego and "honor" is dependent on their hatred of the jewish people.
this is a region of big egos, and of course "honour", what happens if that is taken away?
I'm sure that if someone turned up on your doorstep and informed you that on account of the fact that their ancestors once resided in your house, that they would be moving back in. Of course, you would be welcome to hang around as long as you took up residence on the back porch.
One imagines (judging by your attitude) that you would be thrilled at the prospect and would desist from throwing rocks at their windows, being content to make yourself comfortable in you new - if not depleted surroundings.
rpg, yes there is big egos, and so-called honor involved, as well as an acquired culture of revenge and hatred on both sides. The scene was set by the Kind David Hotel bombing (and the implosion of British and other European diplomacy), which elevated a key player into a later Israeli leadership role.
Well, the Singer is back and his discordant song is still the same: "It's All The Palestinian's Fault."
RPJ, with his one eye, joins him in the dismal chorus.
Funny thing is, Singer is a lawyer and, in Family Law, they moved to no-fault divorce believing that both sides contributed to the marriage failure. But Singer can't countenance this concept in the M.E. He believes Israel is right and the Palestinians are wrong, end of story.
The bottom line is that putting Israel in the middle of Palestine was a gigantic mistake, kind of like waving a red flag at a bull. Israel should be moved to another country, say Texas in America, and not be allowed to arm themselves under any circumstances.
The new Israel could prosper there instead of igniting what could end up being a nuclear M.E. war that will end our world.
Should a few million religious fanatics be allowed to threaten the survival of the human race? I think not!
David G. Man of peace.
Agreed. The Zionists originally claimed that they intended a 100% 'purchase' of Palestinian land, some Western observers,at the time, realized the sinister implications of this policy.Of course the Palestinians were never deceived and understood the catastrophic implications.
Palestinian haters can't be condoned either.
What kind of polity is a 'Jewish State',does it have something in common with neighboring Islamic states? Israel has little interest in peace as it possesses most of the weapons and the Zionist project is not completed, as you've indicated.
No,the solution to the Palestinian-Israel conflict will not be found in arrogant attempts to lump all Arabs together,but in the cessation of the continuous theft of Palestinian land.

Recently, Toyota subsidiaries on both sides of the pond put out a call to enthusiasts and owners, assembled them at a race track, and filmed the experience. In the US, it was to promote the new Supra at Auto Club Speedway in California. In the UK, it was an autocross session at Silverstone Circuit in Northhamptionshire. Both videos were released at the same time, but Toyota is so big that it's unlikely this was a coordinated effort. Who did it better?
Despite holding a smaller market share in a smaller country, Toyota UK was able to wrangle some truly impressive cars. The diverse showing included a first-gen Celica, Celica GT-Four, AE86, TE27, MR2, Soarer, Supras of all generations, and a newly restored kujira Crown Wagon. As we've seen, owners in the UK can be fanatical and are capable of tremendous restorations of even the most obscure cars.
In the Toyota USA version, the focus was all on the Supra, understandably, specifically the iconic A80 generation. Although, some familiar faces can be seen in a daruma Celica and Corona Hardtop also in the background. The speedway setting was perhaps appropriate, since the most prominent racing series that the Supra will take place in stateside is in NASCAR.
California has a reputation for being the epicenter of car culture, and it's easy to get spoiled. We take for granted our year-round good weather and dry, car-preserving climate. In this case, though, we have to give the win to the UK. It not only had the better turnout of cars, but also the far superior video production. Sorry, California, maybe next time.

6 Responses to VIDEO: Who did it better, Toyota USA or Toyota UK?
Close, but no cigar Ben 😉 It's "Northamptonshire".
Well, don't keep us in suspense!
Not really a contest. UK video encompasses much more of the Toyota brand spirit. US video is short yet overdone, generic and has annoying music. The UK video was longer, but by the end, I still wanted to watch more. The US video on the other hand I was basically waiting for it to end by the 1 minute mark.
Though as mentioned, I doubt it was a planned thing, so hopefully coincidental and not necessarily videos that were produced toward the same goal.
I felt the UK TOYOTA video was a better representation of Toyota drivers, with the diversity of cars and people. The US one, didn't.


This admirable hymn is sung frequently as an Advent devotion.
The words of this ancient chant, pleading for the coming of the Savior at Christmas, are taken from the writings of the Prophet Isaias. This admirable hymn is sung frequently as an Advent devotion, and parts of its text can be found in the Mass and Divine Office throughout the holy season.
Behold the city of Thy sanctuary is become a desert. Sion is made a desert.
And send Him whom Thou hast promised to send.
To the mount of the daughter of Sion.
3. Be comforted, be comforted, my people.
Thy salvation shall speedily come.
I will save thee. Fear not.

The UK is a key territory for patent protection, providing a high-quality, cost-effective IP jurisdiction. The UK also provides "Patent Box" tax incentives for corporate patent owners. Official fees at the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK IPO) have typically been low compared to the other costs involved in drafting and prosecuting patent applications through to grant.
From 6 April 2018, the official fees have increased, and some new fees have been introduced. These new fees, for excess claims and excess pages of description, can be due for both directly-filed patent applications and for UK national phase entries from PCT (international) applications. In most cases, we expect to be able to avoid having to pay the new fees provided that appropriate, timely action is taken.
Entry of a PCT application into the UK national phase requires payment of fees for filing, search and substantive examination. Prior to 6 April 2018, these fees were typically paid immediately upon national phase entry into the UK (at latest 31 months from the earliest claimed priority date). Furthermore, it was typical to file no further amendments to the claims upon UK entry, unless it was desirable to put the application in order following a negative international search report. The newly introduced excess claims fees and excess pages fees, due following UK national entry, merit a review of these typical practices. Notably, the excess claims fees and the excess pages fees are linked to different stages of prosecution and although the fee amounts are relatively modest, non-payment or incomplete payment may lead to loss of the application.
Excess claim fees
Cost and consequence
The excess claims fees amount to a surcharge of £20 per claim, payable for each claim numbered 26 or more. The number of claims allowed without a further fee is more than the 15 allowed at the European Patent Office (EPO), and the surcharge is considerably lower in cost. However, whereas at the EPO, non-payment or incomplete payment of excess claims fees can, at worst, result in deemed abandonment of the subject matter of excess claims, for the UK IPO the consequence is more severe: the application will be treated as withdrawn.
Number of claims
The number of claims is determined at the time the UK search is requested, by filing Patents Form 9A, and the excess claims fees are applied as a surcharge to the search fee. Multiply-dependent claims are counted singularly in this determination and there are no restrictions on multiply-dependent claims referring back to other multiply-dependent claims. For PCT applications, the UK search may be requested up to 2 months after UK national phase entry. Also, if extra claims have been introduced during UK prosecution, the excess claims fees must be paid before grant or the application will not proceed to grant. No refund is available if the claim number is reduced prior to grant.
Limiting the number of claims – when & how
Since 1 October 2016, voluntary amendments may be filed at the UKIPO from the start of the UK national phase until the mailing date of the first substantive examination report, provided that the international search report issued before UK national phase entry. For such applications, the number of claims may be limited to 25 by filing voluntary amendments no later than simultaneously with filing of the request for a UK search. Given that search may be requested up to 2 months after UK national phase entry, voluntary amendments to the claims may also be filed with, or before, the filing of the search request.
Since 6 April 2017, omnibus claims have not generally been allowable for UK patent applications and so such omnibus claims are candidates for cancellation. Other candidates for cancellation include multiple computer readable media (CRM) claims, corresponding respectively to multiple computer implemented method claims. A single CRM claim referring to such method claims should be adequate. Concatenating multiple dependent claims using 'and/or' combinations, or lists, so as to reduce the number of claims, is not recommended as this may give rise to objections under Article 14(5)(b) Patents Act 1977, which requires that the claim or claims shall be clear and concise.
Excess pages fees
The excess pages fees amount to a surcharge of £10 per page, payable only for pages of the description numbered in excess of 35. For determining the number of excess pages, neither the figures nor the claims are considered. The number of pages is more generous, and the surcharge less costly, than at the EPO. However, the consequence of non-payment or incomplete payment at the UK IPO is again severe: the application will be treated as withdrawn.
The number of pages is determined as the number of pages on file when substantive examination is requested, by filing Patents Form 10. The excess pages fees are a surcharge to the substantive examination fee. For a UK applications derived from a PCT application, substantive examination must be requested up to 2 months after national phase entry. If extra pages are introduced during prosecution, the excess pages fees must be paid before grant or the application will not proceed to grant. However, no refund is available if pages are reduced prior to grant.
Limiting the number of pages – when & how
For direct-filed UK applications, the substantive examination fee is due after the search report is issued, and so excess page fees may be avoided by responsive amendment. However, for UK applications derived from a PCT application, as described above, voluntary amendments may now be filed at the UK IPO from the start of the national phase until the mailing date of the first substantive examination report. That is, for these UK national phase applications, the number of pages may be reduced by filing voluntary amendments no later than simultaneously with the request for examination, up to 2 months after UK national phase entry.
The voluntary amendments to the description are effected by filing replacement pages. The formal formatting requirements for PCT applications and UK applications differ, particularly with respect to font size. While PCT applications require a minimum capital letter height of 2.8 mm (about 12 point Arial), UK applications only require capital letters to have a height greater than 2 mm (about 10 point Arial). Hence, there is an opportunity to reduce the number of pages of the description by changing font size and filing replacement pages for the complete description. In this way, an 18,500 word document may be reduced from 51 pages at 12 point Arial to just 34 pages at 10 point Arial. A marginal gain may also be achieved by reducing page margins. Both PCT and UK applications require a line spacing of 1.5, so no further gain is available here, though paragraph spacing may be reduced to zero. However, formatting changes should not be undertaken without considering both risk and cost. Risk may arise from corruption of text, such as introduction of errors in equations, which may go unnoticed, and subsequent correction would incur further costs. Costs are typically incurred for preparation, checking and filing of any amendments, even for formatting changes. As such, any reduction in official fees may be more than offset by greater costs required to achieve their safe reduction.

'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' Review: Frances McDormand Shines in Nihilistic Comedy — Venice
Martin McDonagh approaches sentimentality in his gruff examination of the inner workings of a small town.
Ben Croll
Fox Searchlight
"Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri" certainly feels in line with Martin McDonagh's previous films, lathering on all the delightful profanity, corrosive one-liners, and acrid curveballs that spiked "In Bruges" and "Seven Psychopaths" with rakish charm. But here McDonagh has crafted the ultimate bait and switch, a film that carries its weary nihilism with a surprisingly light touch, an affectation later dropped in favor of an unexpected message of grace. Which is to say that not only is "Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri" the director's most accomplished film yet, it's also his most compassionate.
Of course, that's compassion on McDonagh's terms — the salty writer-director didn't exactly become Norman Rockwell overnight. But for all the grim narrative tidings and sharp turns where acutely funny bouts of violence become acutely frightening, "Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri" is the story of jagged, messy people learning to co-exist, and maybe even grow. He's no Saturday Evening Post sentimentalist, but damn if McDonagh hasn't made a curmudgeonly optimistic portrait of small-town life.
It doesn't start that way. Eight months after the murder of Mildred Hayes' (Frances McDormand) daughter, the lazy police still have nothing to show; meanwhile, Mildred's grief (and own feelings of guilt) has curdled into rage. She decides to call them out, renting those titular billboards on the little-used stretch of road where her daughter was found dead. "RAPED WHILE DYING" reads one, followed by "BUT STILL NO ARRESTS." Finally the coup de grace, the one that really sets the gears in motion, "HOW COME, CHIEF WILLOUGHBY?"
McDormand is an absolute force of nature as the grieving mom whose protests set off a twisting war of attrition with the local fuzz. It would hardly be fair to call this one of her finest performances because, frankly, when is she ever not great? So just say that the role of Mildred — in her volatile, vulnerable and vulgar glory — offers McDormand an impressive showcase for her talents and the actress makes the absolute most of it.
For that matter, so does the rest of the cast. Woody Harrelson brings a hangdog soulfulness to the role of Willoughby, Mildred's police-chief foil who's far more preoccupied with his failing health than with the accusatory billboard bearing his name. On that front he need not worry. Most of the townsfolk take his side against Mildred, though none more vociferously than his loose-cannon deputy Dixon (Sam Rockwell). Initially framed as just another trigger-happy redneck enforcer, Dixon grows in nuance and self-awareness as the tale goes on, treading an unpredictable path that fits the film's zigzag narrative. Like McDormand, Rockwell shines here, taking a meaty part and broadening it into a four-course meal.
What starts as kind of showdown between Mildred and the cops soon morphs into something else entirely — there's really no guessing where this narrative will go. Despite the central absence of the murdered daughter, the film is never a potboiler-whodunit so much as one that plays with expectations and assumptions of the genre and subverts them to devious effect.
Nor is it a woman-against-the-world drama. Though Mildred embarks on a public campaign against the town authorities, at night everyone meets at the same bar to knock back beers and put public feuds on pause. In more ways than one, the film resembles this year's blockbuster podcast "S-Town," which also used the premise of an unsolved murder to wallow in a unique southern community and delight in its cast of eccentrics. That's really McDonagh's game plan here, only in lieu of public-radio drawl he stages inspired comic set pieces and ratatat volleys of insults.
Some lines come out spikier than necessary, like Harrelson's explanation that, "if you got rid of all the cops with vaguely racist leanings, you'd have only have three cops left. And all of them would hate fags." While certainly funny, it also represents a script that occasionally leans a little too hard on cheap outrage. There are several racial epithets and tin-eared midget jokes, and they're pretty unnecessary. They're too boring, standing out as throwaway provocations in a film that has real soul.
Though "Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri" pursues a number of narrative strains, it's really about lost characters doing whatever they can to scheme their way out of a rut. In that sense, Mildred's state of grief is a more potent existential nightmare than the cobbled streets of Bruges, because from the former there really is no escape. All one can do is find gallows humor in the darkest situations.
So here's to the traumatic burn victim who goes to light a cigarette only to wince from the open flame. (Hilarious in the moment, if objectionable on the page. That's McDonagh!) And here's to the delightful cast of character actors — who include Caleb Landry Jones, Peter Dinklage, and John Hawkes — with their torrents of abuse and their first-rate vulgarities. And here's to Mildred and Dixon's realization that they may not be able to escape their rut, but that doesn't mean they're all alone.

Commercial catches sampling program in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence – Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus)
The Quebec region of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) is responsible for the assessment of several fish and invertebrate stocks exploited in the Estuary and the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence. The commercial catches sampling program is one of the sources of information used to complete these assessments. The data collected by this program, at wharf or at sea, offers among other things the advantage of a relatively large spatio-temporal coverage and provides some of the necessary knowledge to assess the demography and the structure of the exploited populations. This program is implemented by specialized DFO staff whose main mandate is to collect biological data on groundfish, pelagic fish and marine invertebrate species that are commercially exploited in the various marine communities.

Irvine, CA - The non-profit JAMS Foundation announced today a $300,000 grant that is funding a two-year initiative that enables Conflict Resolution Education for student teachers and in-service teachers in four major U.S. cities. To operate the initiative, the JAMS Foundation is collaborating with three organizations: Temple University's Conflict Resolution Education in Teacher Education (CRETE) program, nonprofit Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR) and nonprofit Creative Response to Conflict (CRC).
The JAMS Foundation is dedicated to providing grant resources to organizations that work to reduce conflicts and provide tools to resolve conflict before it occurs. The goal of this program is to build partnerships between Colleges of Education and local school districts through a process that equips teachers with the conflict resolution skills necessary to manage their classroom. To date, Confliction Resolution Education (CRE) programs have been used to train students, but not teachers or school administrators. The JAMS Foundation Teacher Training Program seeks to trigger a special emphasis on the importance of conflict resolution skills in undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs, and – for teachers who are already in the classroom – to provide on-the-job training.
As leaders of the initiative, Tricia S. Jones, head of the CRETE program at Temple University, ESR Executive Director Larry Dieringer, and CRC Executive Director Priscilla Prutzman are facilitating collaboration between CRE experts, teaching colleges and local school districts through which the training is being implemented. The pre-service teacher training is geared toward undergraduate and graduate education students, while the in-service training is designed for teachers who are already working in a classroom. Relationships between college administrators and school district administrators are established in each city by an executive committee that facilitates planning, communication, and evaluation of the program.
Training has already started in New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., and will soon begin in San Francisco.
Founded in 1979, JAMS has Resolution Centers nationwide. JAMS and its more than 250 full-time mediators and arbitrators are responsible for resolving thousands of important cases each year. JAMS may be reached at 800-352-5267.

Antitrust and the Formation of the Postwar World
Today antitrust law shapes the policy of almost every large company, no matter where headquartered. But this wasn't always the case. Before World War II, the laws of most industrial countries tolerated and even encouraged cartels, whereas American statutes banned them. In the wake of World War II, the United States devoted considerable resources to building a liberal economic order, which Washington believed was necessary to preserving not only prosperity but also peace after the war. Antitrust was a cornerstone of that policy. This fascinating book shows how the United States sought to impose—and with what results—its antitrust policy on other nations, especially in Europe and Japan. Wyatt Wells chronicles how the attack on cartels and monopoly abroad affected everything from energy policy and trade negotiations to the occupation of Germany and Japan. He shows how a small group of zealots led by Thurman Arnold, who became head of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division in 1938, targeted cartels and large companies throughout the world: IG Farben of Germany, Mitsui and Mitsubishi of Japan, Imperial Chemical Industries of Britain, Philips of the Netherlands, DuPont and General Electric of the United States, and more. Wells brilliantly shows how subsequently, the architects of the postwar economy—notably Lucius Clay, John McCloy, William Clayton, Jean Monnet, and Ludwig Erhard—uncoupled political ideology from antitrust policy, transforming Arnold's effort into a means to promote business efficiency and encourage competition.

Trump announces standardized testing won't be enforced in schools
Updated: 1:36 PM EDT Mar 20, 2020
But I am also announcing that the Department of Housing and Urban Development is providing immediate relief to renters and homeowners by suspending all foreclosures and evictions until the end of April. So we're working very closely with Dr Ben Carson and everybody from HUD. And now it's our time. We must sacrifice together because we are all in this together and we'll come through together. It's the invisible enemy that's always the toughest enemy of the invisible enemy. But we're going to defeat the invisible enemy. I think we're going to do it even faster than we thought, and it will be a complete victory. It will be a total victory.
President Donald Trump says the Department of Education will not enforce standardized testing requirements for students in elementary through high school for the current year.Trump said students have already been through a lot with schools opening and closings.He says his administration also has temporarily waived all interest on federally held student loans and he says he's directed Education Secretary Besty DeVos to tell federal lenders to allow borrowers to suspend their student loans and loan payments, without penalty for at least the next 60 days.President Donald Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to get needed medical supplies on the front lines of the coronavirus outbreak and the private sector mobilized against it.Trump had said earlier in the week he would tap the act as needed. He said Friday he has put that "in gear."Trump also announced an effective closure of the U.S. border with Mexico, prohibiting most travel except for trade. That brings it in line with the restriction on the Canadian border earlier this week. The U.S. is also suspending interest on student loans to help young people cope with job losses and the financial crunch.More than 200 people have died from COVID-19 in the U.S. and sickness from the disease is on the rise, with hospitals at risk of being overrun. Most people who get it have only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he implored Trump during a phone call Friday to invoke the Korean War-era act immediately to order the manufacture of ventilators and other critically needed medical gear. The president told Schumer he would, then could be heard on the telephone seeming to make the order. He yelled to someone in his office to do it now, said Schumer's spokesman, Justin Goodman.The president and the Cabinet officials who briefed reporters focused on the border as they moved to restrict the entry of people without documentation to the U.S. This follows a stepped-up State Department travel advisory telling Americans they should not leave the country.As Congress debated a financial relief package that could reach $1 trillion, officials again urged Americans to maintain social distancing while Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, applauded strict new measures put in place by the governors of California and New York to limit mobility.Trump and Fauci broke openly during the White House briefing on the possible effectiveness of new drugs being explored to treat the virus. Trump said he believed that a combination of medications he announced Thursday would would work to treat the virus. Fauci said no such declaration could be made without testing.On another front, Trump said the Education Department will not enforce standardized testing requirements for students in elementary through high school for the current year. Under federal education law, states are required to administer standardized tests every school year."Americans from every walk of life are coming together," Trump said. "We are winning and we are going to win this war."But the task force briefing Friday turned contentious. At one moment, the president, when asked what message he would have for frightened Americans watching at home, Trump responded, "I think you are a terrible reporter."The new measures come as the administration tries to overcome its inability to provide the needed masks and ventilators to hospitals on the verge of being overwhelmed by coronavirus patients. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers have been working toward an aid package to prop up households and the U.S. economy that would put money directly into American's pockets. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.

Ubisoft is currently prototyping a sequel to its well-received Wii U survival horror ZombiU.
That's according to Ubisoft Montpellier's Jean-Philippe Caro, who mentioned the project to a fan via Twitter (as spotted by NeoGAF).
"Thank you for your interest in ZombiU," Caro wrote, having been questioned about the likelihood of a sequel. "The team is working hard on a prototype. It's too soon to tell you more."
Meh. I liked Zombi U but it got easily boring.
Anyways, I hope we get one soon. The first one is a fantastic game, I love it. I would love for a longer campaign, perhaps co-op that has different missions all together like Splinter Cell.
So what, is Ubisoft making this pro Bono?
I think it should be Zombi 2u ... that way it doesn't get confused with a zombie rock band.
When the game first came out, that was the most common joke.... but it's still not old.
I was more partial to Edge's Razor.


Simply Shoeboxes: An Email Received from a Shoe Box Kid!
If you have a been a reader of Simply Shoe Boxes for long you will remember last fall we put on a spur of the moment packing party with our AWANA kids at church. We had them fill out these Operation Christmas Child forms as letters to put in their boxes. Each form has sections to tell a little about yourself.
He says he is 25 years old, we are not sure if that is a mistake, if he is writing in response to a sibling's box or if he did get a box. But we were thrilled to receive a reply to one of our boxes and can't wait to share it with the kids at church.
We've shared in this link Tips on Writing a Letter to Include in Your Operation Christmas Child Shoebox.

But a "massive" agency-wide effort to update decades-old systems is not following proper IT project management procedures, including a cost-benefit analysis, and the agency does not have a firm estimate on the cost of the project, said Patrick McFarland, OPM's inspector general.
OPM has not factored in the cost of migrating its old data into a new IT system when preparing budget estimates, and it doesn't have a dedicated funding stream for the transition, McFarland told the Senate Homeland Security Committee Thursday.
The recent breaches at OPM show that the government and the agency's leaders aren't serious about cybersecurity, some lawmakers said.
Breaches of OPM's government employee personnel files and its security clearance database raise questions about whether Archuleta, appointed to the job 18 months ago, should stay, two Republican members of the committee said.
Johnson and Senator John McCain, an Arizona Republican, both questioned the commitment of the Obama administration to protect the government against cyberattacks. With years of cybersecurity warnings from its inspector general, "OPM has become a case study in the consequences of inadequate action and neglect," Johnson said.
OPM leaders have shown "such a lack of attention and priority to this issue, and let's face it, a record of failure now," Johnson said.
But the agency has made great strides forward since Archuleta took over as director, said Tony Scott, the U.S. CIO. in the Office of Management and Budget. "I worry in this particular case, that as we deploy more [cybersecurity] tools across the federal government, and as we are likely to discover more of these kinds of issues, that there's a chilling effect on anybody wanting to come in and take one of these roles," said Scott, a Microsoft veteran.


We are living in a world where change is the norm. Disruption is no longer a novelty, it is a way of life, inside and outside of work. The forces that drive the intense disruption create complexity that challenges even the most agile organizations. To thrive, organizations must find new ways to balance the waves of change and innovation to create coherence.
At the Strategic HR Forum: Leading Through Disruption, we will explore the critical role HR leaders play in creating a competitive advantage by finding value within the disruptive layers of the business environment.
Who Should Attend?This program is intended for senior HR leaders with 15+ years of HR experience who are responsible for planning the strategic direction of their organizations. By bringing together the best and the brightest, the program provides HR leaders with a powerful and practical learning experience.

RSPCA bans volunteer's dog for public's safety
Report By Tom Wright
Updated: 10:34 PM October 27, 2020
A VOLUNTEER, who had worked for the RSPCA for 16 years, has described the charity's decision to ban her dog from walking around one of its shops while she works, as 'health and safety gone mad'.
Trish Tolley had taken her nine-year-old Collie Cross, Max, in with her ever since he was a puppy, much to the delight of customers who would feed him when visiting the store.
But new regulations mean he will only be allowed in the back office - despite customers being freely allowed to bring their dogs into the store.
Branch secretary Rita Hinton said such measures had to be taken in case a dog attacked someone, which would leave the charity legally responsible. She admitted there had been no previous incidents at the Waterloo Street shop.
But Ms Tolley and one of her colleagues, who worked there up to three times a week, have both resigned in protest of the decision to ban the dog from the shop floor.
She said: "Customers are allowed in with a dog but when I am working I'm not allowed Max. I have customers who come in to see him and he is going to be sorely missed.
"I feel very upset for the people who come in and ask to see him and I just really want to say thank you to them."

Customer Iris Jones said she used to love feeding Max, adding: "Political correctness and health and safety has gone from the sublime to the ridiculous."
Ms Hinton said the decision had to be made before the RSPCA found itself in difficulty and came after a similar ruling had been made in Halifax.
She said: "Customers are legally responsible for their dogs. But if someone is serving in the shop they cannot keep an eye on them. It is not a draconian measure. We feel it is safer for the dogs and safer for the public.
"We rely very heavily on our shops to generate income and are very aware of the sterling work that our volunteers do to help us to continue with our much-needed welfare work in the locality."
Ms Hinton said she would be in contact with Ms Tolley over the matter in the near future.

A Cook-szigetek a Csendes-óceán déli részén, Amerikai Szamoa és Francia Polinézia között helyezkednek el, a szigetcsoport 13 lakott és 2 lakatlan szigetből áll.
Nevét a felfedezőjéről, James Cookról kapta, aki 1773-ban partra szállt. 1888-ban brit védnökség alá került, 1901-ben a britek annektálták, és átengedték Új-Zéland fennhatósága alá. 1965-ben belső önkormányzatot kapott. 1974 óta Új-Zéland szabadon társult állama, a kül- és hadügyeket Új-Zéland intézi, egyébként önálló kormányzata van.

Földrajza

A Csendes-óceán déli részén, Amerikai Szamoa és Francia Polinézia között helyezkedik el a 13 lakott és 2 lakatlan szigetből álló, földrajzilag két részre elkülönülő, 2 millió négyzetkilométernyi tengerfelületen elterülő szigetcsoport. Az Északi-Cook-szigeteket lapos korallszigetek alkotják, míg a Déli-Cook-szigetek közt található Rarotonga vulkanikus eredetű. Legmagasabb pontja: Te Manga, 652 méter.

Rarotonga sziget földrajzi koordinátái:

Történelme
A szigetekről először 1595-ben adtak hírt spanyol hajósok, de igazi felfedezése James Cook nevéhez fűződik, aki 1773-ban partra is szállt. A felfedezőről elnevezett szigetek 1888-ban brit védnökség alá kerültek. 1901-ben annektálták és átengedték Új-Zéland fennhatósága alá. A szigetcsoport 1965-ben belső önkormányzatot kapott. 1974 óta Új-Zéland szabadon társult állama, a kül- és hadügyeket Új-Zéland intézi, egyébként önálló kormányzata van.
Az új-zélandi parlament nem hozhat döntést a Cook-szigetekről, ez a Cook-szigetek parlamentjének kizárólagos kompetenciája. A teljes belső önkormányzatot kiegészíti a szinte teljes külső önkormányzat, bár Új-Zéland feladata a Cook-szigetek honvédelme és nemzetközi képviselete, azonban ezeket csak a Cook-szigeteki hatóságok beleegyezésével gyakorolhatja. Emellett a Cook-szigetek sok esetben saját magát képviseli nemzetközi kapcsolataiban, 33 országgal saját maga áll diplomáciai kapcsolatban. A fentiek miatt az ENSZ a Cook-szigeteket "nem-tagállamnak", azaz független államnak tekinti.

1980. június 11-én az Amerikai Egyesült Államok és Új-Zéland szerződést kötött a Cook-szigetek és Amerikai-Szamoa közötti tengeri határról. Ugyanakkor az Egyesült Államok lemondott Penrhyn Island, Pukapuka (Danger), Manihiki és Rakahanga szigetekre támasztott igényéről.

Lakosság
 Nyelvek: A Cook-szigeteken a hivatalos nyelv az angol, de a lakosság a maori nyelvet beszéli.
 Népek: A lakosság 81%-a polinéz, 14%-a európai, 5%-a pedig egyéb népcsoporthoz tartozik.

Vallás
A fő vallás a kereszténység, melynek helyi képviselője a Cook-szigeteki Keresztény Egyház (Cook Islands Christian Church).
A lakosság 55%-a a helyi egyház tagja, 17%-a katolikus, 8%-a adventista, 2%-a jehovista, 2%-a az apostoli egyház tagja.

Gazdaság
A többi csendes-óceáni országhoz hasonlóan, a Cook-szigetek gazdasági fejlődését is a külföldi piacoktól való nagy távolság, a hazai piacok korlátozott mértéke, a természeti erőforrások hiánya, a viharok pusztításai, és a hiányos infrastruktúra hátráltatja.

 Mezőgazdaság, bányászat, halászat: A lakosság kókuszdiót, citrusféléket, banánt, ananászt és kasszavát vagy más néven maniókát termeszt, valamint sertést, kecskét és baromfit tenyészt.
 Ipar: Az ipart néhány élelmiszer-feldolgozó és apró textilgyár képviseli.
 Kereskedelem: A kopra és a citrusfélék egy részét exportálják, míg közszükségleti cikkeket, kőolajtermékeket és élelmiszert importálnak.

Közlekedés
A közúthálózat hossza 320 km. A szigeteken 2 kikötő és 9 repülőtér található.

Q: Cannot replace a Fragment with a new one I am trying to replace a Fragment inside another Fragment and I get a weird NullPointerException, could you please take a look and tell me what do you think?
Here is my code:
public class HomeScreenFragment extends Fragment implements FolderViewInterface {
//stuff before this

@Override
    public void onFolderOpened(int folder_index) {
        System.out.println("THe callback brought me here, passed index:"+folder_index);

        Fragment newFragment = new FolderViewFragment();
        // consider using Java coding conventions (upper char class names!!!)
        FragmentTransaction transaction = getFragmentManager().beginTransaction();

        // Replace whatever is in the fragment_container view with this fragment,
        // and add the transaction to the back stack
        transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, newFragment);
        transaction.addToBackStack(null);

        // Commit the transaction
        transaction.commit();

    }
}

The stacktrace:
