A magnetic stripe card is a type of card capable of storeing data by modifying the magnetism of tiny iron-based magnetic particles on a band of magnetic material on the card. The magnetic stripe, sometimes called swipe card or magstripe, is read by swiping past a magnetic reading head. Magnetic stripe cards are commonly used in credit card,identity card, and transportation tickets.
HiCo stripes are appropriate for cards that are frequently used, such as a credit card. Other card uses include time and attendance tracking, access control, library cards, employee ID cards and gift cards. Low-coercivity magstripes require a lower amount of magnetic energy to record, and hence the card writers are much cheaper than machines which are capable of recording high-coercivity magstripes.
However, LoCo cards are much easier to erase and have a shorter lifespan. Typical LoCo applications include hotel room keys, time and attendance tracking, bus/transit tickets and season passes for theme parks. A card reader can read either type of magstripe, and a high-coercivity card writer may write both high and low-coercivity cards (most have two settings, but writing a LoCo card in HiCo may sometimes work), while a low-coercivity card writer may write only low-coercivity cards.

Commentary: By-election moves Hong Kong closer to 'one country, two rubber-stamp legislatures'
Commentary Asia
The loss of two seats in the 70-seat Legislative Council has left the pro-democracy camp in a precarious situation, says one observer at the Singapore University of Social Sciences.

By Yew Chiew Ping
15 Mar 2018 06:41AM (Updated: 15 Mar 2018 06:50AM )
SINGAPORE: Two important political events related to China took place last Sunday (Mar 11).
The first, widely reported and closely watched by the international media, is the official removal of the presidential term limits by China's legislature, the National People's Congress (NPC).
Out of a total of close to 3,000 lawmakers, a whooping 99.8 percent of them voted in favour of the constitutional change, befitting the NPC's role as a rubber-stamp legislature.
The move paves the way for President Xi Jinping, the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao Zedong, to stay in office for more than two terms.
READ: A commentary on Xi Jinping's unsettling approach to governing modern China.
The second event, whose significance has been eclipsed by that of the first, is the by-election of Hong Kong legislature, the Legislative Council (LegCo).
Hong Kong residents cast their votes for four seats out of the six vacated by Hong Kong democrats after they were ousted from office for modifying the oath during their swearing-in.
Amid an overall lower voter turnout, the democrats managed to recapture only two of the four seats in Sunday's by-election, securing a lower than usual vote share vis-à-vis that of the pro-establishment and pro-Beijing candidates.
For the uninitiated, this may not seem like a particularly dismal outcome – except that it is.
DOUBLE RUBBER STAMPS?
To put it simply, the LegCo, in both its structure and voting rules, is designed to give lawmakers of the pro-establishment camp the upper hand.
Now holding slightly more than 40 seats in the 70-seat LegCo, most of the pro-establishment lawmakers were not popularly elected.
Most owed their seats to around 200,000 electors across various sectors, and dominate one of the two groups in the legislature known as the Functional Constituencies (FC).
In contrast, most of the democrats in the legislature's Geographical Constituencies (GC) won their seats through direct and competitive elections. Before the few democrats were disqualified, the democratic camp had a modest majority in the GC.

Now that the already dominant pro-Beijing bloc won two additional seats in Sunday's by-election, the democrats are holding on precariously to their one-third minority veto power for certain bills that need an overall two-thirds majority to pass – including amendments to the Basic Law, Hong Kong's constitutional document, and voting procedures in the LegCo.
Pending the fate of the two remaining vacated seats that have yet to be put to the vote, the democrats may also fail to regain their GC majority veto power for other motions that require majority support in both the GC and the FC to gain passage – including bills put forth by LegCo members.
In the worst-case scenario, the Hong Kong legislature may well follow in the footsteps of the NPC and become yet another rubber-stamp parliament.
This is not inconceivable, in view of Xi's hardline and interventionist approach towards the governance of Hong Kong and his low tolerance for dissent in general.
Now that the presidential term limits have been scrapped, Xi looks set to rule China for an extended period of time.
This does not bode well for the democrats and Hong Kong's prospects for democratisation, including the hope of a direct election of the city's political chief through universal suffrage.
The Hong Kong Chief Executive is currently elected by a small circle of about 1,200 voters handpicked by Beijing, whereas the number of registered Hong Kong voters for the GCs totals 3.8 million.

'DQ' DEMOCRATS, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK
It is ironic that political leaders who are not elected by the people may, at whim, eject popularly elected legislators from the parliament.
But that irony is lost on the pro-establishment camp that cares for neither accountability to voters nor fair competition.
They have tried all means to "DQ" - the Hong Kong slang for disqualify - the democrats and stop them from regaining their foothold in the legislature.
In the latest post-election development, some of them are now pursuing a legal bid to disqualify pro-democracy by-election winner Au Nok-hin.
They said that Au, who defeated his pro-establishment rival by close to 10,000 votes, had burned a prop representing the Basic Law.
The move is intended to prevent Au from taking the oath of office next Wednesday.
Au was photographed burning the prop last November in an act of protest against Beijing for interpreting the Basic Law, leading to the unseating of four lawmakers.
Even if the pro-establishment camp fails to remove Au from office this time, there is no knowing when or how other democrats in the LegCo or those standing in future elections may be robbed of their political rights.
Au Nok-hin, who stepped in to contest the Hong Kong Island seat after Agnes Chow was disallowed, campaigning in Hong Kong. (Photo: AFP/Anthony WALLACE)
Hong Kong's much vaunted rule of law has also been used selectively to the democrats' detriment.
In the case of Au and other ousted democrats, the Basic Law has been upheld as sacrosanct.
Yet in other instances, democrats have been disqualified in decisions that contravene the Basic Law.
Earlier, for example, the nomination of a popular Umbrella Movement student leader, Chow Ting, as a candidate in the by-election, was deemed "invalid" by the Returning Officer.
Citing the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights, a group of electors in the legal profession called the Administration's decision to deprive Chow of the right to stand for election on the ground of her political views and stance "unreasonable, unlawful and unconstitutional".
The latest 2018 finding of the public opinion poll conducted by the University of Hong Kong shows that Hong Kong residents' net confidence in "One Country, Two Systems" is now in the negative.
In light of these recent political developments, it is little wonder why.

Disputes between owners and associations can easily spin out of control. When those disputes result in a lawsuit, the costs, both in terms of time and money, can be significant. That is why attorneys often encourage parties to first meet and try to resolve those issues through some form of dispute resolution process before a lawsuit is filed. In fact, the law often requires that parties at least offer to meet in some form of alternative dispute resolution setting before they file a lawsuit, or they may lose the right to recover attorney's fees even if they win the suit.
California's Davis-Stirling Act contains several sections that address, and sometimes require, the use of the dispute resolution process before litigation can be filed. The statutory process includes (1) Internal Dispute Resolution and (2) Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Internal Dispute Resolution or "IDR" is an informal process where one or two representatives of the association (typically a board member and the association's community manager) meet with the owner of the property at issue and try to resolve the issue informally. Civil Code section 5905 requires that associations provide a "fair, reasonable, and expeditious procedure for resolving a dispute" with members.
Boards serve a necessary function in any corporation, and especially within a homeowners association. It would be impossible for an association to function without one. In an association, the buck ultimately stops with the board. The board is elected by the members of the association to accomplish the tasks required of an association by the governing documents. Volunteer board members are accountable to the association itself, as well as to the owners within the community. While the board can, and should, rely on opinions of experts and information presented by committees, decisions affecting the community are the ultimate responsibility of the board, and the board members will be held accountable for these decisions. While the position is voluntary, board members should take their fiduciary responsibility to the association and its members seriously.
Despite the important role the board plays in the association, board members must keep in mind that they have been elected by the members of the association to conduct the business and affairs of the association. Board members should not become power hungry or otherwise harass owners. Likewise, owners must respect the authority of the board to conduct the association's business and enforce its documents.
Board members must remember that the owners must be kept informed of the board's activities and make sure that proper communication with the other owners is maintained. In deciding what to communicate to members, board members should consider what they would like to know and how they would like to be treated as a non-board member owner, and strive to act in that manner as a board member.
In addition to the duties set forth in the CC&Rs, Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation, board members have additional duties imposed by law. While all of the duties and obligations of a board member cannot reasonably be set forth in a short article, we will highlight some of the most important duties and obligations a new board member must understand: that of their fiduciary duty to the association and its members, the business judgment rule, and the duty to keep communications with the association's attorney confidential.
Having an Election? Know Who is Entitled to Vote.
In any HOA election there are two record dates that need to be idenitified. The Record Date for determining the members entitled to notice, and the Record Date for determining members entitled to vote.
Can anyone confirm that in California, regarding a CID director election via an absentee ballot, that the Davis-Stirling Act requires the board to set a "record date for good standing" which is between 60 days in advance of the election and the mailing date of absentee ballots? I am concerned that our board has declared that ballots are to be mailed to association members in good standing on May 31, 2010, but they have declared a "record date for good standing" for June 15, 2010, two weeks after mailing, an obvious conflict which I believe is a D-S violation. This may deprive some members of their vote, even after receiving ballots, and open a door to election fraud. Am I correct in my legal understanding and concern? We have an election on July 3, 2010, and time is short to correct this error.
In any HOA election there are two record dates that need to be identified: The Record Date for determining the members entitled to notice, and the Record Date for determining members entitled to vote. The Davis-Stirling act does not have any requirements for determination of a record date. The record date is determined by the Association's bylaws and by California Corporations Code section 7611. If the bylaws are silent, the Board may set a record date consistent with section 7611.
Section 7611(a) provides the time frame for the Record Date to receive notice of a meeting of members, which "shall not be more than 90 nor less than 10 days before the date of the meeting." In the absence of a record date defined in the bylaws or by the Board, members at the close of business on the business day preceding the day on which notice is given are entitled to receive notice of a members meeting. For the purpose of determining a record date for members entitled to vote at a meeting of members, the record date shall not be more than 60 days before the day of the meeting. If no record date is fixed by either the bylaws or the Board, members on the day of the meeting who are otherwise eligible to vote are entitled to vote.
In responding to the question above, we do not know if the Association's bylaws contain any instructions for establishing the relevant "record dates" for the upcoming election. However, it appears that May 31 was selected as the record date for notice of the meeting, and June 15 was selected as the record date for determination of voter eligibility. Assuming the bylaws are silent on the issue, the dates selected by the Board comply with the requirements of section 7611 for a July 3rd election date. In addition, by mailing out ballots on May 31st, the Association complies with the Davis-Stirling Act, which requires that written ballots be mailed out at least 30 days prior to the election (Civil Code section 1363.03).
While the owner raising the question is concerned that some owners may lose their right to vote after receiving their ballots, it is just as likely that owners who are not in good standing will have the opportunity to rectify the situation between the time they receive their ballots and the later date being used to determine voter eligibility. In addition, in order to deem an owner not to be in good standing, the Association will have had to call the owner in for a hearing. Given the time frame identified, it is likely that any owner who loses their right to vote between the time the ballots are mailed and the record date for voter eligibility will have been in violation of the CC&Rs prior to the ballots having been mailed.

Since the first Interpreter Institute, over 1,300 different people have been trained, an average of 67new people every year. Many have attended more than one Institute. Below are class pictures from each of the past Institutes, along with links to our Flickr page where you can see pictures taken throughout each week.
The first Interpreter Institute was held over two weekends (Friday - Sunday) in September, 2003. The Institute met in Montgomery September 5th – 7th and in Tuscaloosa September 12th – 14th. It was attended by 18 interpreters from around Alabama [MORE]
In 2004, the Interpreter Institute again utilized the two 3-day session approach, but moved Thursday-Friday-Saturday set. Running August 12th - 14th and 19th - 21st, the training was still split between Montgomery and Tuscaloosa. The class grew to 33 participants and the first group of interpreters from 2003 began to complete the requirements for their Qualified Mental Health Interpreter (QMHI) certification. (Note: That year our equipment was stolen including our camera and thus we have only a few pictures. [MORE]
Based on feedback from participants, the 2005 Interpreter Institute went to a five day straight through schedule. Running August 8th - 12th, this change made it necessary to keep the Institute in one place. [MORE]
Running June 4th - June 8th, the 2007 Interpreter Institute shattered previous attendance records, both for number of first time attendees and total number of participants. Wisconsin Department of Mental Health sent a delegation, several members of which completed the entire cycle and become QMHIs. [MORE]
That year, Alabama also ran an experimental Advanced Institute, which drew 41 participants, all of whom had previously attended the basic Institute. [MORE]
In 2008 the Interpreter Institute was held at Troy University at Montgomery, running August 25th - 29th. Another capacity crowd, average experience level was higher than previous groups. This class had a number of clinicians in it as well. It also marked the beginning of a long-running partnership with Troy University that continues to this day. [MORE]
The 2009 edition of the Interpreter Institute marked a major departure from previous editions. Severe reductions in ODS operating funds threatened to forestall that year's training.Thanks to a fortuitously timed visit to the Bailey Deaf Unit, Charley Bliss, of the Georgia Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities & Addictive Diseases, and Steve Hamerdinger agreed to have the Institute in Georgia as a joint project. With only 90 days to arrange, promote and plan the institute, it was held in Atlanta June 1 - 5. It was attended by 18 participants from six states. [MORE]
The 2006 Interpreter Institute ran September 12th - 17th with 50 participants. There was an unusually large contingent of deaf interpreters that year. [MORE]

F-1 Student Visa Help Is Here. Work With Us Today.
F-1 Student Visas
U.S. Immigration Attorney Helps International Students With Their F-1 Visa Student Applications
The F-1 Student Visa has been designed for non-immigrants who have been accepted into a program to study or conduct research at an accredited U.S. college or university. Vocational education is not included in F1 visa program; for vocational education, an M1 visa should be pursued.
Key Facts for the F-1 Student Visa
Once you have been accepted by a U.S. school, the application process is reasonably quick.
You may come to the U.S. as a full-time academic or language student enrolled in a program leading to a degree or certificate.
You many not obtain an F visa to study at a public elementary school or publicly funded adult education program. Nor may you obtain an F visa to study at a public secondary school unless you prepay the full cost of such program, for a maximum of one year.
You can transfer from one school to another or switch academic programs by going through a relatively simple procedure to notify USCIS.
You may work legally in a part-time job on campus. Also, you may get special permission to work off campus if it is economically urgent or if the job provides practical training for your field of study.
You may travel in and out of the U.S. or remain there until the completion of your studies.
F-1 student visas are usually issued for the anticipated duration of time it will take to complete your projected course of studies.
You may remain in the U.S. up to 60 days beyond the length of time it takes to complete your academic program.
You may remain in the U.S. for 12 months after securing a degree to work under the OPT (Optional Practical Training) program.
F-2 (dependent) visas are given to family members of an F-1 visa-holder. F-2 visa-holders cannot work but minor children may attend public schools.
Contact our F-1 Student Visa Attorney in Orlando, FL
If you or a family member would like to apply for an F-1 Student Visa to come to the United States to pursue academic studies, contact our immigration attorneys. Our experienced team has helped thousands of clients in the past.

Cast her as every character TBH.
Disney's Lion King remake has already been building up a megastar cast, fronted by Donald Glover voicing adult Simba, but it just got yet another level-up in the form of — Beyoncé?!
The film also features the voice talents of Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, John Oliver as Zazu, and of course, James Earl Jones back as Mufasa. While there's no formal release date yet, keep your calendar open for summer 2019.

Q: How to wait until navigator.notification.prompt() input has been given I am using a Cordova app to embed a React app. In a certain point, the user connects to the camera and a notification appears when a QR code is detected. I want that the code execution waits until user has entered his/her answer "Yes/No", but I can't get it to work. Notification prompt message works as expected though.
I need it to pause somehow, as in an async function (like  prompt would, for instance). How could I pause the code execution until the user has chosen Yes/No in screen? I guess with some async/await but don't see where... I have tried unsuccessfully so far:
let test = null;
let input2 = null;
notification = navigator.notification.prompt("Do you know this QR code?",
     async function(input) {
     input2 = input;
     test = await NotificationFunction(input, Camera_content);
     console.log(test)
     console.log('input2')
     return [test, input2]
     });

let test2= await notification
console.log(test2)
console.log(notification)
console.log(await test)

Thanks a lot in advance!

A: Maybe you can use something like this:
const promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
  navigator.notification.prompt(
    'Do you know this QR code?',
    async function (input) {
      test = await NotificationFunction(input, Camera_content);
      resolve([test, input]);
    },
  );
});

const [test, input] = await promise

Also maybe this can help https://javascript.info/promisify

Дубки — посёлок в Гагаринском районе Саратовской области Российской Федерации. С 1 января 2022 года входит в состав городского округа Саратова.

История
Посёлок был основан в 1930 году одновременно с аэродромом Дубки. Название происходит от того, что на месте населённого пункта была дубрава.

На полях сражений в годы Великой Отечественной войны около 150 жителей посёлка не вернулись домой. В 1969 году на средства местного населения по проекту скульптора Тимофеева был возведён монумент в память о защитниках Отечества.

Птицефабрика была градообразующим предприятием здесь. В 1960-х годах её производство стало расширяться, в посёлке начался быстрый рост населения. Благодаря этом хозяйству сам посёлок нередко называли «птицеградом». Предполагалось сделать Дубки центром Саратовского района. В 1987 году народный суд был размещён на территории населённого пункта.

Школа в посёлке открылась в 1956 году. В 1975 году обосновалась в специально построенном трёхэтажном здании.

Одно из старейших сооружений посёлка — местный аэроклуб, был создан в 1930 году. На местном аэродроме в 1955 году познавал первые уроки лётной профессии первый космонавт Земли Юрий Алексеевич Гагарин. Учебный авиационный центр областного комитета ДОСААФ СССР по подготовке пилотов вертолётов Ми-2 был создан на базе аэроклуба в 1964 году. В начале 1990-х годов возрождён и действует спортивный центр РОСТО Саратовской области.

Rode's new white Wireless GO and accessories extend the flexibility of the most versatile creator mic
by Dan* on Friday, May 01, 2020 in Gadgets, Gadgets – TechCrunch
Sound industry leader Rode has done an amazing job keeping up with the needs of the fast-moving creator industry, supporting YouTubers, podcasters, Instagram and Tik Tok media mavens with a host of new products at impressive price points. The Rode Wireless GO mic system might be the most impressive of these, taking the quality you'd expect from a more expensive wireless mic pack system formerly reserved for broadcast pros and bringing it to the masses at a very compelling price point, with easy setup and use. Now, Rode has introduced a new white version of the Rode Wireless GO, along with new accessories that increase the flexibility of the already very flexible audio device.
I've been a fan of the Wireless GO since its launch, and previously used the original black version in a number of different capacities. The white version doesn't mess with anything that was great about the original – it just gives you a light-colored option that is more suitable for use with light clothes when you're shooting video. If you're not already familiar with the Wireless GO, what you get in the box is a transmitter and a receiver (with built-in clips on the back for attachment to clothing), each of which charges via USB-C, along with wind filters, charging cables, a 3.5mm audio cable, and a carrying case.
Out of the box, the receiver and transmitter are synced, so all you need to do is power them on to get started. The transmitter comes with a mic built-in, so you can immediately clip it to your collar to get started transmitting sound. The receiver pack can easily slide right into the cold shoe mount on a DSLR or mirrorless camera, and the included standard audio cable can connect from it to the camera's mic input for direct recording.
The Rode Wireless GO's USB-C port acts as an audio output, too, so you can use either a USB-C headset or a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter to get direct audio monitoring from the pack, too. On the transmitter side, there's a 3.5mm input so you can connect a lavalier (or any other) mic to up your audio game even further. Speaking of lavs, Rode also introduced a new white version of its own Lavalier GO lapel mic, which is also a fantastic, affordable option that produces very high quality results. Below, you can hear both the sound direct from the GO itself, and a sample using the Lavalier GO attached to the transmitter.
The versatility of the Wireless GO mean that they're incredibly useful for a wide range of uses. For instance, I have then connected into a USB audio interface on my main work Mac for use during video calls – I just power them up when it comes time to conference, and no one has to deal with muffled or low-quality audio from my end in terms of clarity and ease of understanding. On the road, the Wireless GO is also a great option for podcasting, providing much better sound than what you can get out of wireless earbuds or built-in device mics. And they're extremely portable, unlike most USB mics that would also provide a good alternative.
Rode has also debuted a couple of accessories alongside this launch that make them great for even more use cases. The Interview GO adapter, for instance, allows you to mount the transmitter on a handheld mic grip, turning it into a stick mic complete with foam filter to reduce wind sounds and plosives. That means one less mic to carry around when you're doing on-camera interviews with passers by, or participating in a media scrum.
[gallery ids="1982580,1982579"]
There's also a new magnetic clip attachment that means you can easily adapt the Rode Wireless GO transmitter pack to clip anywhere on a subject's clothing, rather than requiring that it clip to a collar or exposed seam. This is huge for placement flexibility with any outfit, and can help with hiding the pack, too, if you're looking to get a clean video shot.
Rode's Wireless GO can also perform some neat tricks that could help with other audio applications, including being able to act as a latency-free wireless converter for any set of headphones. You can connect any input to the 3.5mm port on the transmitter, and then connect a set of headphones to the receiver and get that input piped to you directly.
It's hard to find any mic system that's truly a jack-of-all-trades without also having to deal with significant trade-offs in on department or another, but the Rode Wireless GO is pretty near perfect for a range of use at a price point that's hard to beat. The GO itself costs $199, while the Lavalier GO is $79. The MagClip magnet clip for the transmitter is $19, and the Interview GO handheld mic adapter is $29.

I believe this to be an art deco designed sterling fork handle. Anyway, I used it as the focal of my combination chain/cuff bracelet. The chain links are all individually soldered and the hand made hook clasp is a very secure closure. It has been tumbled for hours for the durable tarnish resistant finish.
This is a generous 8" long but can be clasped on a shorter ring for a smaller wrist.
The focal fork handle measures 2 3/4" by 1/2".

F.C. Council Postpones Vote on New Whopper Tax Hike Policy
December 13, 2016 12:48 AM by Nicholas F. Benton
MEMBERS OF THE Falls Church City Council posed with the City's Planning Director Jim Snyder and Zoning Administrator John Boyle at Monday's Council meeting.
The adoption of a new fiscal policy for the City of Falls Church designed to enable the City Council to begin tacking on five cents per year on the real estate tax rate this coming year for the next three years was delayed Monday night when the complexities of the proposed policy began to overwhelm Council members. It will come back for consideration the next time the Council meets in January.
The plan is designed to provide the Council with the "policy" justification for having City taxpayers begin paying for the most expensive option for construction of a new high school at least three years prior to any actual construction, and that would also be prior to any citizen approval of a bond referendum for such an undertaking. If approved the policy would enable the introduction of a five-cent (per $100 of assessed valuation) real estate tax increase for each of the next three years, a five-cent hike the first year, with five cents added on the second and another five cents the third, to build a reserve of $6 million which would be used to sit idly in the City's unassigned fund balance solely for the purpose of convincing the New York bond markets that lending the $115 million for the new high school (should the voters approve the bond sale).
These rate hikes would be on top of an additional 2.5 cents that the City Hall renovation will cost taxpayers and the 1.5 cents that the library renovation, approved in a referendum last month, will cost, and that is before any consideration of additional needs of the City or its school system, with its exploding enrollment growth, are taken into account.
Councilman Dan Sze was the only one of the seven members (Councilman David Snyder was absent tonight) who suggested that maybe some way of calculating how economic development might offset these projected tax rate hikes be factored in. Councilman Phil Duncan echoed the sentiment when the Council considered its next item, a measure offering budget guidance to the city manager for the upcoming budget cycle. Council member Karen Oliver said she couldn't see how such an inclusion was relevant, but voted yes with the majority, anyway.
It was vice mayor Marybeth Connelly who proposed delaying the vote on the fiscal policy revisions, even though Oliver cautioned that by doing so, the Council might not have time to include the new policy guidelines in the upcoming Fiscal Year 2018 budget that will be developed next spring.

Officials scramble to punish Marines responsible for nude photo scandal
By Anna Hiatt	/ March 16, 2017
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert B. Neller responds Tuesday to an angry and skeptical Senate Armed Services Committee member Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., while testifying in Washington.

Officials are scrambling to figure out how to hold to account Marines – both active duty and retired personnel – involved in non-consensual sharing of naked photos on the closed Facebook group Marines United. On Tuesday, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., suggested stripping benefits from veterans who participated. The same day, in response to the revelations, the U.S. Marine Corps released an updated social media directive for active-duty personnel regarding how to behave when engaging in unofficial internet activity.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., asked Assistant Secretary of the Navy Sean Stackley during a special hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday if active-duty personnel engaged in "transmitting, receiving, viewing, possession" of photographs of a similar nature to those shared in the Marines United Facebook group would be subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Stackley replied that they would.
The Senate Armed Services Committee hearing was held just over a week after Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting and The War Horse broke the news that some members of the closed, males-only Facebook group Marines United were collecting and distributing images of servicewomen in various stages of undress without their consent.
Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert B. Neller reiterated that he took the online behavior seriously and that he and Corps leadership are dedicated to making change. But Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., questioned his pledge.

Neller, the commandant of the Marine Corps, at a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Capitol Hill Tuesday on the investigation of nude photographs of female Marines and other women that were shared on the Facebook page Marines United. Credit: J. Scott Applewhite/Associated Press
Gillibrand spoke sternly, and throughout the course of her questioning her voice grew louder and angrier. "I have to say, when you say to us, 'It's got to be different,' that rings hollow. I don't know what you mean when you say that. Why does it have to be different? Because you all of a sudden feel that it is has to be different? Who has been held accountable?"
She continued, "I can tell you; your answers today are unsatisfactory. They do not go far enough. And I would like to know what you intend to do to the commanders who are responsible for good order and discipline." Gillibrand finished by asking how Neller and the Corps would respond.
There was a pause. He began to answer, pausing after a few sentences, and then said: "I don't have a good answer for you. I'm not going to sit here and duck around this thing. I'm not. I'm responsible. I'm the commandant. I own this. And we are going to have – I know you've heard it before – but we're going to have to change how we see ourselves and how we do – how we treat each other. That's a lame answer, but ma'am, that's all I – that's the best I can tell you right now. We've got to change. And that's on me."
Vietnam Veterans of America and Not In My Marine Corps both submitted statements for the record. Not In My Marine Corps launched two days after the Marines United scandal broke, and the group is inviting survivors of sexual assault, harassment, discrimination and abuse in the military to share their stories. Vietnam Veterans for America president expressed his disgust.
"It's hard to imagine how someone in uniform could have so little respect for their colleagues and for their service that they would engage in this despicable campaign of cyber bullying. Yet, as the shock wears off, we are unsurprised by this ugly news," wrote John Rowan, the national president and CEO of Vietnam Veterans for America.
During Tuesday's hearing, McCain asked Neller what NCIS and the Corps leadership are doing to encourage other women who have been victimized to come forward. Neller pointed to the Armed Services Committee hearing as a demonstration of the Corps' commitment to addressing sexual assault, harassment and discrimination. He also mentioned a press conference he held at the Pentagon addressing the Corps on March 10, nearly a week after the story broke. Tip lines are open, Neller said, and he would urge commanders to be receptive to reports of such abuse.
Stackley called the revelations "a bell ringer." Military leadership plans to address the issue in every branch, he said, stating that on this the military would not "go backwards." He affirmed when asked by McCain about how active-duty personnel would be held responsible that the Uniform Code of Military Justice could be invoked.
Echoing a video statement he made last week published by the Corps, Neller again asked that female Marines trust him, and trust that the Corps leadership will take action.
"I ask you to trust me personally as your commandant. And when I say I'm outraged that many of you haven't been given the same respect when you earned the title Marines," Neller testified. "To the men in our Corps, serving today and those who no longer wear the uniform, you're still Marines. I need you to ask yourselves, how much more do the females of our Corps have to do to be accepted?"

The financial reality of doing postgrad study abroad is a major consideration wherever you choose to go. Once you take the decision to get a Master's degree abroad you will not be able to access British student finance. Therefore, you need to consider alternative sources of funding. However, this does not mean that studying abroad will be more expensive in real terms than pursuing a degree in the United Kingdom even if the upfront costs are higher.
On the country information pages of this website you will find a brief description of the financial implications of studying in each country. Here we will limit ourselves to some general remarks about student finance abroad and an overview of the cost of public university education in the most popular countries. The cost of private higher education varies dramatically from university to university so we cannot easily summarise the costs involved. However, private education abroad often costs less than public options in the United Kingdom.
Please also check each country page for specific advice on postgrad funding that may be available to British students.
Within the European Union British students should be entitled to the same support as local students. In most countries this means that if tuition fee loans are available for local students, British students should also be able to access that support. Where maintenance loans for living costs are available these can often be subject to a residency requirement meaning that they are only available to students who have been living in the country for a period of time (usually three years) and whose family have been paying taxes there. There may also be a nationality requirement so if you have a European passport it may be worthwhile investigating precisely which rules apply to you.
In countries where there are no tuition fees you can usually count on no support. In countries where there are tuition fees these may be means-tested for domestic students. In this case, all EU students will be entitled to the same consideration and will be able to submit an application for lower fees. Some private universities also offer means-testing but this may be discretionary.

On 1st. July 1965, EMI underwent a merger and each individual ceased to be a L.T.D. company and became a Subsidiary of "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." which was owned by EMI. This merger meant yet another label change occurred and previous "Parlophone Co. Ltd." rims where replaced with the new "Gramophone" rims. The new label didn't actually come into use until October 1965 but EMI continued to use up the old Parlophone labels, which explains why first pressing still feature labels with the "Parlophone" rims.

Completing the mix of uses at Piccadilly Basin is the Retail Village, enjoying excellent frontage and prominence to Great Ancoats Street.
A second anchor store to complement ILVA is planned together with a vibrant blend of specialist and boutique stores set around enchanting cobbled pathways with the impressive and historic Brownsfield Mill acting as a focal point for this unique shopping experience. The purposeful design of the retail element reflects the scheme's harming ability to blend traditional with modern, creating a truly special retail environment.


Howdy! Pardon me while I clear out the cobwebs in the blogging corner of this site. Recently I've started following the work of James Clear. He seems to be (at least trying to be) a 21st century version of Stephen Covey or maybe John Maxwell.

Men in Blue look for another win against NZ
Agencies3 Nov 2017 5:16 PM GMT
Rajkot: India are poised for their third T20 International series triumph in five years but would be wary of a strong fightback from the usually plucky New Zealand when the two sides clash in the second game of the three-match series on Saturday.
The comprehensive 53-run victory in the series opener at Delhi has put India firmly in the saddle for sweeping to a winning 2-0 lead at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here in Kandheri.
The resounding victory, riding on the exhilarating batting exploits of their top-order and, in particular openers Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, was the country's first-ever over the Kiwis in the shortest form of the game.
The 2007 World T20 champions have produced impressive death bowling with Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah leading the pace department, while the spinners also pitched in with some excellent bowling in the middle overs.
Considering the immense all-round strength that the hosts boast of, it's going to be a Herculean task for the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand to prevent India from surging to a third T20I series victory in eight contests, going back to 2012-13, three of which were drawn encounters.
The last game is scheduled at Thiruvananthapuram on November 7.
The Indian top order batting, with superb stroke-makers in Dhawan, Sharma and Kohli, has to be tamed early if New Zealand hope to carry on the fight till the series-ending game. Dhawan and Sharma put on a record 158-run partnership that went into the 16th over to ensure that India ended up with a plus-200 total despite a brief wobble towards the end.
The Black Caps' new ball attack of Trent Boult and Tim Southee lacked discipline in Delhi. It's a bit of a surprise that these two experienced Kiwi bowlers have been ineffective with yorkers at the death, unlike the Indian duo of Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar.
And the catching too has let the Black Caps down in contrast to some superb outfield efforts by the Men in Blue.
"We were outplayed in all the areas, fielding included, which is something we pride ourselves on and something we need to be much better at in Twenty20 cricket," Williamson had said after the Delhi loss to Virat Kohli-led India.
Kohli has led the team from the front and is himself fast approaching the 2000-run landmark in T20Is.
If the top batsmen fall cheaply, there are others spearheaded by former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to come to the home team's rescue. In slow bowling too leggie Yuzvendra Chahal has continued to trouble the Black Caps' batsmen, in particular captain Williamson and senior pro Ross Taylor who is unable to read the twirl on the ball off the wrist spinner's hand.
Only the left-handed Tom Latham, among the visiting team's batsmen, has shown a consistently sound and effective approach against the spin bowlers.
India had clinched back-to-back wins in the last two games of the 50-over ODI rubber for a 2-1 verdict in their favour. Incidentally, this would be the second T20 International to be played at this venue on the outskirts of the city which was the home venue of IPL side Gujarat Lions earlier this year. The first one was against Australia in October, 2013, won by the home side.
It has also hosted two ODIs at this stadium in 2013 and 2015 and in both these games India ended up on the losing side against England and South African respectively.
It became a Test venue last season when India played against England.


The much coveted shoe brand from America, Steve Madden celebrate the launch of their first store in India with a glamorous party on Friday.
Attended by the likes of Dia Mirza, Adhuna Akhtar, Aki Narula and Ira Dubey the venue of the party was Trilogy, Sea Princess in Mumbai. The guests were presented with a 360 view of a video showcasing all the backstage action at a Steve Madden fashion show while they danced to the tunes of DJ Cady until wee hours.
"Steve Madden is one of the most iconic and desired shoe brands. Designed for women who are independent and confident, it represents a real woman who embraces fashion whilst maintaining her own individuality," said Darshan Mehta, President and CEO, Reliance Brands Limited who are responsible for bring the shoe brand to India.

There are many misconceptions about the creative process. Many of these myths perpetuate false notions about creativity and persuade many individuals to label themselves as "non creative." It's really a shame because this keeps them from attempting to flow with their creative energies and blocks their imaginations. In my book, Creativity: How to Catch Lightning in a Bottle, I discuss several creativity myths. In this blog, I'm going to discuss one of these myths. I'll discuss others in later blogs.
Myth #1. To be creative, you must be Totally Original.
Actually, originality is only one measure of creativity. In fact, creativity can occur without much originality. Noted researcher and psychologist, J.P. Guilford, defined four ways in which we can measure an individual's creativity and he developed criteria for each measure.
A. Originality- An individual is original if his or her work is unusual or differs substantially from the norm. If a product (not necessarily tangible) is too much like other products, the work lacks originality. However, if it is too unusual and original, it may be rejected as "weird" or, as history has shown, blasphemous. Nevertheless, some degree of originality is normally desirable. To what degree, depends on various factors such as the target audience and whether the unusualness is offensive.
B. Fluency-This measures how prolific a person is. A creative person may be someone who produces tons of songs, works of art, architectural designs or business plans all of which look pretty much like all his or her other works. He may not be original but he can, nevertheless, be said to be highly creative. He is fluent and prolific.
C. Flexibility- Another measure of a person's creativity is her flexibility. She may not produce highly original works, but may be somewhat prolific (fluent) and her products differ markedly from each other. Without being highly original or fluent, she may still be considered highly creative in the realm of flexibility. She is not stuck on the same pattern or design and, although her works are not highly unusual, they all differ in some way from each other. In many way, this is a highly prized "talent" especially in today's business world.
D. Elaboration- Guilford's fourth measure of creativity is elaboration. This refers to the detail and specificity of the works. A creator's work may be highly elaborate and contain a great deal of detail, complexity and specificity. She may only have a few such works and, thus, not be highly fluent, flexible or original. The work may be a detailed replica of some other work; thus, it may lack originality but excel in the quality of elaboration.
Guilford has given us an interesting way of looking at creativity. In fact, all these qualities may exist in the works of some individual that we perceive as highly creative. These four aspects of the creative process free us from the constraints of having to look at everything through the lens of originality.
These are not the only measure of creativity. There are other ways of looking at a creator's work. Can you think of other measurements of an individual's creative output? I would like to hear from you as to other measurements of creativity as well as good examples of the above measurement categories. I look forward to hearing from you.
What Do Psychologists Bring to the Mediation Table?
By rhjuuo • August 8, 2014 Uncategorized
Settling disputes through litigation can be a long and expensive process. Alternatives to the adversarial process involved in suing people in a trial proceeding can offer less expensive and more satisfying outcomes. There are various alternative ways of settling disputes and these go by various names such as collaborative law, arbitration, and mediation. These methods and processes are used to resolve disputes in families, businesses and communities.
Various professionals have entered the field as mediators and arbitrators. Among these are lawyers, judges, clergy and mental health professionals.
Ilene Diamond, psychologist, says psychologists bring special skills to the various dispute resolution areas. This is especially true in a divorce where strong emotions "interfere with the productive resolutions of issues in dispute." In addition, psychologists are well equipped in helping clients who are struggling with elder care issues, dysfunctional family businesses, employment discrimination, sexual harassment and molestation, medical malpractice as well as psychological sequalae to personal injuries such as car accidents and other traumatic events.
Psychologists are good mediators because they are trained to look closely at how people communicate and the hidden messages behind the obvious outward verbal responses. Thus, a psychologist mediator may pick up not just the "what" but the "how" of communications. This "how" includes metaphoric language and facial expressions, as well as body language, gestures, and other nonverbal cues.
Psychologists bring special assessment skills to the mediation table because they are trained in psychological assessment which includes psychological testing and, thus, are able to understand psychological assessment reports and help interpret them to the recalcitrant parent.
These are among the skills that psychologists bring to the Alternative Dispute Resolution arena. Ilene makes a strong case for using psychologists as mediators and availing the consumer of the special qualities that the psychologist can bring to the mediation table.
For a more complete discussion of these issues and points see Ilene's article at: http://www.mediate.com/articles/diamonil.cfm

General Motors has issued a recall for nearly 100,000 Pontiac and Saturn vehicles, due to a risk that the passenger seat airbag sensors may fail, potentially disabling the front seat passenger airbag in the event of an auto accident.
The Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky recall was announced by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on February 8, after receiving a defect petition warning the Passenger Air Bag Suppression System (PPS) may fail due to sensor damage from continuous use, ultimately disabling the airbags and increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash. To date, no injuries have been reported in connection to the recall.
General Motors first learned of the issue after a public defect petition was sent to the NHTSA in April 2016, requesting the agency investigate the performance of the PPS sensor mat on certain Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky vehicles. On May 16, 2016, the NHTSA began evaluating the allegations described in the defect petition and issued a series of interrogatories and requests for documentation to General Motors.
During this time, General Motors opened a formal product investigation to determine the nature of the issue described in the defect petition regarding the PPS sensor. General Motors investigators discovered that the PPS system uses a flexible sensor mat inside of the passenger seat that over time can bend and damage the sensor's conductor. In severe cases, this form of damage may cause an open circuit in the sensor, which would disable the air passenger airbags even when the vehicle is in motion.
Following this discovery General Motors reported back to the NHTSA with the newly found defect information and decided to conduct a safety recall.
Included in the recall are model year 2006 through 2010 Pontiac Solstice vehicles that were manufactured from March 16, 2005 through May 28, 2009, and 2007 through 2010 Saturn Sky vehicles manufactured from December 6, 2005 through May 26, 2009. The recalled vehicles were distributed throughout the United States to licensed dealers.
According to the NHTSA recall, an estimated 91,007 vehicles are included in the recall with a projected 2% to be impacted by faulty PPS sensor.
General Motors has not released a recall schedule at this time, but plans to notify customers in writing when available. Customers with further questions are being asked to contact Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn customer Service at 1-800-553-6000 and reference the recall number 17036.

Through the foggy clouds, the scene in front of their eyes gradually became cleared. The first thing they saw was something like a silver rope constantly flashing on the ground.
That was a waterfall, which was about dozens of meter wide. Water was cascading from the one-hundred-meter tall edge that frightened people. The falling water created an ear-piercing sound with endless water drops scattering in the air. They looked like magnificent crystals. A rainbow which was like a bridge surrounded both sides of the waterfall. That was a splendid sight, which could be described as the fairyland even in the Divine Realm.
There was a lake surrounded by a green mass of growing vegetation. The God of Emotion brought the Butterfly God, aiming to reach that place.
As they were coming near the lake, suddenly, a beam of light emerged from the edge of the lake. That red light was really intimidating, carrying a dominating aura, then abruptly turning into a sensational rainbow.
The God of Emotion startled, wanted to block it, but the Butterfly God could sense the danger somehow; she immediately opened her eyes then swung her right arm up. A bone-chilling murderous aura burst out as a yellow light flared just in a blink. That was the Golden Dragon Lance.
The lance was brought out, frightening the God of Emotion beside her. The lance was like a dragon covered in gold nimbus crossing the sky and earth with a tremendous aura. Just in a blink, the gold lance encountered that red beam.
The crisp sound of flowing water stopped unexpectedly for a short moment as if it was affected by the impact, then they descended once again. In the middle of the sky, the Butterfly God had recovered her conscious, holding the Golden Dragon Lance imposingly. At this moment, she was not the usual Butterfly God but the Goddess of War.
A figure slowly appeared from that red halo. It was a woman with long red hair putting up in a ponytail. She was holding a lance, which had a red glow bursting from inside.
Her beautiful face was a little pale as she was terrified.
"Shi mu, it's us. Please don't take action." The God of Emotion blocked the attack, hastily said.
The God of Emotion was surprised; seemed like his father-in-law had plotted this scheme!
He brought along Tang Wu Tong and landed by the lake. When they had approached the area about hundreds meters away from the lake, it was like they was crossing through a barrier; the scenery surrounding immediately changed.
There was a courtyard inside the dense vegetation. Some wooden houses situated there with several kids playing and an old man resting.
In the middle of the yard, stood a blonde man with his hands crossed behind his back, smilingly looked at their arrival.
"Teacher." The God of Emotion hastily stepped up, bowed to that blonde man and said respectfully.
"Stand up. I know both of you would come." The blonde young man smiled and said, but his smile looked a little bit awkward.
