SINGAPORE — Asian stocks were mixed in narrow trading on Thursday as China and the U.S. kicked off two days of trade negotiations in Beijing. Regional indexes have advanced for three straight days on hopes that both sides will make headway on big issues like Beijing's technology policy.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng edged 0.2 percent lower to 28,433.04. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.1 percent to 6,059.40 while the Kospi in South Korea rebounded 1.1 percent to 2,225.85. The Shanghai Composite index inched 0.1 percent higher to 2,724.20.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 finished almost flat at 21,139.71, despite preliminary data showing that its economy grew by 1.4 percent in 2018's fourth quarter, helped by strong domestic demand. This was a vast improvement from a broad contraction in the previous quarter. Shares were flat in Taiwan but rose in Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines.
China-U.S. trade talks under way in Beijing have spurred trading on hopes that the two sides might resolve their dispute before the U.S. raises tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods as of March 2.
Trump has hinted that he might hold off on these tariffs if enough progress was made at the talks. On Wednesday, he told reporters discussions were "going along very well".
WALL STREET: U.S stocks edged higher on hopes that negotiators will come close to a deal after trade talks. Energy companies, retailers and industrial stocks climbed. The S&P 500 added 0.3 percent to 2,753.03 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.5 percent to 25,543.27. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.1 percent to 7,420.38. The Russell 2000 index of smaller company stocks gained 0.3 percent to 1,542.94.
ENERGY: U.S. crude rose 41 cents to $54.31 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It picked up 80 cents to settle at $53.90 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, gained 58 cents to $64.19 per barrel. It added $1.19 close at $63.61 per barrel in London.

Literary Journalism
My biography of the late novelist André Brink for Jonathan Ball Publishers under the title The Love Song of André P Brink / André P. Brink en die spel van liefde appeared in May 2019. Notices have been promising – see Anthony Ackerman's review on LitNet. See also Annemarie van Niekerk's in-depth review article.
My 2016 book, Losing the Plot: Crime, Reality and Fiction in Postapartheid Writing (Wits University Press, 2016) is available from bookshops – or order it here from WUP. Rita Barnard's review essay provides a good sense of the book's concerns, as does Rick de Villiers's evaluation.
My translation of André Brink's love letters to Ingrid Jonker (with Karin Schimke's translation of Ingrid Jonker's letters to Brink), collected in Flame in the Snow, won both the SALA award for literary translation, 2016, and the English Academy of Southern Africa's Sol Plaatje Prize for Translation, 2018.
Welcome to my website. I am a full-time author whose books include a novel, Bad Sex (Umuzi, 2011), three volumes of poetry – Bloodsong (Snailpress, 1997), gone to the edges (Protea, 2006), and Bodyhood (Umuzi, 2010) – several works of literary translation, and academic books. See Selected Books.
My work as a literary translator includes the English rendition of Triomf (1999), Marlene van Niekerk's major Afrikaans novel chronicling the rise and fall of apartheid in the tragi-comic tale of a low-life Afrikaans family, the Benades of Triomf, Johannesburg. My translation of Triomf won the SA Translators Institute's Award for Outstanding Translation in the year 2000 (see Literary Translation).
My other published translations include a rendition of the novel In Stede van die Liefde by celebrated novelist Etienne van Heerden, under the title In Love's Place (Penguin SA, 2013). Writer Fiona Snyckers commented in a TimesLive review that this book "allows English-speaking readers access to one of the first major works to interrogate the post-apartheid rainbow nation".
My translation of Cas Vos's Intimately Absent (Protea Book House, 2010), a cycle of poems on the Abelard and Heloise saga rendered into English, was awarded the SALA Prize for Literary Translation in 2011.
In 2015 I took early retirement from Stellenbosch University, where I remain a professor emeritus in English Studies. I also serve as a research fellow at the University of Johannesburg. At Stellenbosch University I founded the Stellenbosch Literary Project (SLiP) and its associate ventures, www.slipnet.co.za and the InZync Poetry Sessions. I was formerly an English professor at both the University of the Witwatersrand (where I was also Head of the School of Literature and Language Studies), and the University of South Africa (see CV). During 2015 and 2016 I was a visiting lecturer in the Department of English and The Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Apart from producing books, I write critical essays (peer-reviewed research articles published in scientific academic journals, see Research Articles), and I also write in public venues such as the New Haven Review, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and various South African newspapers and periodicals (see Literary Journalism and Travel Writing).
I have published several scholarly works, including my most recent book, Losing the Plot: Crime, Reality and Fiction in Postapartheid Writing (2016). My other academic volumes include Civilising Barbarians, a monograph, and Herman Charles Bosman in/oor Afrikaans, an edition of this writer's work in Afrikaans (see Selected Books).
The following description appears in The Columbia Guide to South African Literature in English Since 1945 (Gareth Cornwell, Dirk Klopper, and Craig Mackenzie, Columbia University Press, 2010):
De Kock, Leon (b. 1956) Poet, critic, translator. Born in Mayfair, Johannesburg, he studied at the Rand Afrikaans University and the University of Leeds. After working as a journalist for several years, he joined the English Department of the University of South Africa, where he was professor until 2006. He is now head of the School of Literature and Language Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand. Author of Civilising Barbarians: Missionary Narrative and African Textual Response in Nineteenth-Century South Africa (1996), he compiled (with Ian Tromp) the anthology The Heart in Exile: South African Poetry in English, 1990–1995 (1996) and was founding editor of the English-studies journal Scrutiny2. His first collection of poems, Bloodsong (1997), is a set of deeply personal poems that probe childhood experiences and grapple with understanding life in contemporary South Africa. Poems from this collection won him the 1995 Thomas Pringle Poetry Award. He is also the translator into English of the Afrikaans novel Triomf (1994, trans. 1999), by Marlene van Niekerk. His articles on cultural politics in South Africa have introduced new dimensions to debates on postcoloniality. A second volume of poetry, Gone to the Edges, appeared in 2006.

Veronica doesn't think she's going crazy. But why can't anyone else see the mysterious blond boy who keeps popping up wherever she goes?
When her best friend, Mackenna, invites her to spend the summer in Scotland, Veronica jumps at the opportunity to leave her complicated life behind for a few months. But the Scottish countryside holds other plans. Not only has the imaginary kilted boy followed her to Alloway, she and Mackenna uncover a strange set of rings and a very unnerving letter from Mackenna's great aunt — and when the girls test the instructions Aunt Gracie left behind, they find themselves transported to a land that defies explanation.
Doon seems like a real-life fairy tale, complete with one prince who has eyes for Mackenna and another who looks suspiciously like the boy from Veronica's daydreams. But Doon has a dark underbelly as well. The two girls could have everything they've longed for… or they could end up breaking an enchantment and find themselves trapped in a world that has become a nightmare.
I'll admit, what really drew me into this book was the rolling green hills on the cover — which aren't even the focus of the cover. But it fantasy about this seemingly magical kingdom plus being a YA so you know there'll be some sort of fun love interest… Well, that was enough for me. Plus, Doon sounds like Doom. And Soon. And in a Scottish accent, well, it's just a fun word.
I was nervous about the switching of the POVs. Normally in books, I do not like this technique as most authors cannot distinguish between the two narrators. And since this was switching between Veronica and Kenna, well, two teen girl BFFs are likely to sound similar. But by chapter 10 or 13 or so, I warmed up to Kenna as a narrator. However, I HATED her exclamations. I get it, she's supposed to be a theatre nerd. But the "Holy Hammerstein!"s and "Sweet Baby Sondheim"s were a but much for me.
There were a few other things that felt a bit over the top, or forced. Namely, some of the Scottish-ness and even other foreign-ness in the book just feel kind of stereotypical. However, that said, I do appreciate that the things that seemed out of place in Doon were actually things that could have possibly come into Doon during the last Centennial since they actually existed during that time.
I also appreciated that the girls acknowledge that Jamie, Veronica's Laird o' Doon love interest, was indeed acting like a jerk and not treating Veronica right. Rather than just be blinded by all the swoon-worthy stuff, she was actually conflicted about her feelings and a possible relationship. But this is YA, so yes, so continues to swoon after a dude who pushes her away.
There were some things with the ending that I wasn't satisfied with… Just felt a little Disney-esque in the whole "you just have to believe strong enough" stuff… But. Ugh. Not going to spoil it. There were also some things that I called early on in the book — like what was revealed in the epilogue. However, that just made me wish I didn't have to wait until September for the sequel!
It's a story about one girl who wants to find/define her own destiny, and another who thinks finding true love would be the worse thing in the world. Add in some romance, some fit dudes in kits, and an enchanted kingdom in Scotland (who's future hangs in the balance)… And it's a nice mix for a story.


Just checking I have understood things.
I have written, what I hope is a simple multiplication routine to multiply 2 bytes, returning a word. This could obviously be very useful for calculating screen addresses.
Just want to check that what I have come up with is as efficient as possible, so I would like some of you gurus to have a quick look over it please.
; resulting in a word.
Have I understood things correctly? Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
You're using the shift & add method for 8 bit, aren't you? That is quite fast and compact.
If you ever need a really fast method you can check my post here. I really needed that speed in 1337, due all the matrix operations that were needed.
Check www.6502.org for more interesting sources for this and other areas.

Pengwin wrote: Just checking I have understood things.
As Chema wrote, the best way is to not calculate screen addresses at all but instead to use tables.
If you have room, just store the table in the data section, already generated.
If you want to make a small demo, you can store the table in the bss section and generate it on startup.
Yeah, that I learned from you, Dbug. I remember how I was trying to make a fast compact pixel_address and line routines and how you demonstrated me that it was way better to use tables and avoid running code.

The Goeben was apparently deterred by the Gloucester's boldness which gave the impression of support close at hand. The combination of audacity with restraint, unswerving attention to the principal military object, namely holding on to the Goeben without tempting her too much and strict conformity to order constitute a naval episode which may justly be regarded as a model.

There are five different models, that are all comfortable and offer spacious living space between 1,300-1,500 sq ft. There are attached garages with direct access to living area. Amenities include clubhouse, two tennis courts and a swimming pool.
The Arboretum is conveniently located 20 miles from Boston close to Routes 95, 128, 114 and US Route 1.


The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin is pleased that the Governor's budget proposal creates a Bureau of Natural Resources Science in the Division of Fish, Wildlife and Parks of the Department of Natural Resources. The Governor's proposal also authorizes 5.0 new full time positions. At least two of these positions are assigned to work on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination of water resources. The funding for this will come from the segregated fees deposited in the Environmental Fund associated with the DNR. Until recently DNR research was based on DNR priorities and largely funded by state, federal and non-governmental funding sources.
This new Bureau of Natural Resources Science will not fully restore the 18.4 scientist positions that were eliminated in the 2015-2017 Biennial Budget, but this proposal does restore a lost focus for independent scientific research in the DNR. The Wisconsin DNR once enjoyed a proud reputation for its natural resource management research, evidence-based decision-making and professionalism. Restoring the DNR's reputation starts with this investment in personnel and re-creation of the Science Bureau.
"It is only right that applied scientific information and impartial, objective evidence be the groundwork for the DNR's oversight role in protecting the health of our natural resources including the air and water that impact human and wildlife health in our state," said Erin Grunze, Executive Director.
Support of a physical environment beneficial to life; action to promote wise use of ground and surface water resources and improvement of water, air, and soil quality.


MILAN (Reuters) - Italian supermarket chain Esselunga said the majority owners of its parent company Supermarkets Italiani had exercised their right to buy the 30 percent they do not own.
Esselunga was founded by late businessman Bernardo Caprotti and 70 percent of its parent company is currently owned by Caprotti's second wife Giuliana and their daughter Marina.
Giuliana and Marina will buy the rest of Supermarkets Italiani from Caprotti's two children from his first marriage, Giuseppe and Violetta, a statement on Esselunga website said.
Following her father's death, Marina and her mother were granted a call option to buy out minority investors within 2021.
The group, which said the purchase price would be determined by independent third parties, said a material part of the price may be funded by third-party financing.
Esselunga, which ranks as Italy's fourth-biggest supermarket chain, recorded revenue of 7.75 billion euros ($9 billion), an adjusted core profit of 648 million euros and net financial debt of 848 million euros in 2017.
In October sources told Reuters the majority owners of the group wanted to team up with long-term investors to take full control of the business and squeeze out two of the family heirs.
The retailer's family owners have been locked in a dispute since the death of founder Caprotti in 2016.

Editorials Latest News | UMaine College GOP | Bangor Metro | Susan Collins | Today's Paper
Promises made to Collins for tax bill support are slipping. That's reason for concern.
J. Scott Applewhite | AP
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, smiles as she walks to the Senate floor to speak as Republicans in the House and Senate plan to pass the sweeping $1.5 trillion GOP tax bill on party-line votes, at the Capitol in Washington, Dec. 18, 2017.
President Donald Trump hasn't even signed a Republican tax cut bill into law and the promises Sen. Susan Collins said she received to gain her support for the bill have begun to unravel.
In exchange for her support for the GOP tax bill, which weakened the Affordable Care Act by repealing the mandate that individuals buy insurance or pay a penalty, Collins said she received assurances from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that two health care proposals, which could lessen the impact of the mandate repeal, would be passed before the end of the year.
On Wednesday, Collins and Sen. Lamar Alexander, a co-sponsor of one of the provisions, said there would be no vote before the end of 2017.
"I think the policy is more important than the deadline, and the deadline is slipping. And I am the first to say that I am not happy about that, that I'm disappointed about that," Collins told the Portland Press Herald on Wednesday. "But I believe that at the end of the day, we're going to end up where I want us to be — in fact, maybe even with a better bill."
With the timeline already slipping, we fear other aspects of McConnell's pledges will falter as well.
"It looks like the Christmas present of lower health insurance premiums will now have to be a Valentine's Day present," Alexander said blithely in a statement.
This isn't a lighthearted matter. The repeal of the individual mandate will leave 13 million Americans without health insurance and raise insurance premiums by 10 percent, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Nor is it simply a matter of the timetable changing. Already, Trump and other Republicans are bragging that the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is essentially repealed with the end of the individual mandate. "When the individual mandate is being repealed, that means Obamacare is being repealed," Trump said during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Wednesday. "We have essentially repealed Obamacare."
But, he said, tax bill supporters wanted to keep that quiet because people might not like it.
We'd like to share Collins' confidence that these measure soon will be passed by Congress, but we remain skeptical. It is hard to foresee Republican lawmakers supporting provisions to revive the Affordable Care Act when they believe it is close to being killed, especially in an election year.
Republican congressional leaders tried repeatedly to repeal the Affordable Care Act over the summer. Collins was one of three Republican senators who blocked the repeal; all three were hailed as heroes. Yet, just months later, all three supported the GOP tax bill that severely weakened the health care law. This turnaround is hard to accept, especially when the same rushed and secretive process — which the senators condemned about the Affordable Care Act repeal bills — was used to craft the tax bill.
And, no matter the timetable, some House Republicans have made it clear they would not support the Collins-backed provisions or that it be paired with provisions making it harder for women to obtain abortions.
Collins wanted support of provisions to restart federal payments to health insurers that reduce the cost of insurance premiums for low-income families and to create high-risk pools to continue coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.
The provisions are aimed at reducing the impact of repealing the individual mandate. Analyses of the provisions reached differing conclusions. A recent analysis by Oliver Wyman Health found that the provisions, which would allocate $5 billion a year in 2019 and 2020 to states to help them stabilize the individual health insurance market and would continue payments to reduce insurance premiums, would reduce premiums and bring additional people into the market. Other analyses conclude that Collins' provisions would lessen, but not eliminate, the impact of the mandate's repeal.
Collins initially hoped for a vote on the provisions before voting on the tax bill. Instead, she accepted assurances from McConnell that he would bring the measures up for a vote before the end of the year and that he would support their passage.
With this promise already evaporating, we fear that Collins' work to shore up a weakened Affordable Care Act will continue to be met with resistance and delays.

The New England Aquarium has always been one of my favorite places to visit in Boston. It is located just two miles away from The Lenox Hotel, which is only about a 15 minute taxi ride and 25 minutes on the T. The aquarium is great year-round, but I especially like going in the winter to escape the cold for a bit.
Since there are so many interesting exhibits to see, I would definitely recommend allowing a couple hours to really experience all that the Aquarium as to offer. The Giant Ocean Tank, which is 4 stories high and 40 feet wide, is always a must-stop for me. The top of the tank is completely open and allows for a fun look at Myrtle the Turtle (a resident of the tank since 1970) who pops her head up for air every once in a while. Keep an eye out for divers in the tank as well. They often go in to feed the fish and it's fun to observe how they interact up close with them.
One of the more interactive exhibits is the Shark and Ray Touch Tank, which is located on the main floor. You can actually put your hand in the water as sting rays glide past you, so you get a chance to experience what these animals actually feel like.
The top floor of the Aquarium is home to the Edge of Sea Touch Tank. Last time I was visiting this area, I had the chance to talk with the educator on duty, and they put a scallop on its side, so we could all watch it open its shell. Sometimes they will close really quickly and spit out water!
Are you more into rain forests and jungle creatures, rather than sea animals? Well, good news the Aquarium is also home to some breathtaking Amazon Exhibits that allow you to see all the bio-diversity that make our planet so unique. The Poisonous Frog Tank is a personal favorite of mine, but there are tons more to explore. As you look into some of these exhibits, take a moment for your eyes to adjust and look closely, as many of the animals have adapted to camouflage and blend in with their environment. Is that a branch or an Anaconda? A leaf or a Seahorse? Take a second look and you just might be surprised.
After all that walking, you'll probably be in the mood to sit down, which is the perfect time to visit the I-Max 3D theater. Here you'll find giant rotating and informative films that are the perfect way to cap off a day at the New England Aquarium.
I hope you enjoy the Aquarium as much as I do, and if you ever have any questions about upcoming exhibits or anything at all, visit me at the Concierge desk and I'll be more than happy to tell you even more about this great place.

Q: conditional probability to refill automated coffemachine Given is a fully automated coffeemaker which has to be filled with water and coffee beans when empty, and a container with coffee dregs which has to get empty when full.
Now there is a group of people with different coffee consume. For example:
Albert drinks about 2 coffees a day; Jessica drinks 5 coffees a day and Marc, who drinks 6
When taking a coffee, the machine can either need a refilling before the coffee can be made, after the coffee is made, or neither (lucky hit).
Everyone can ignore it, when the machine is empty afterward, but no one can ignore it if the refill has to be done before the coffee is made, because they won't get a coffee without refilling before.
The Question:
There could be either a rule that says "If you made a coffee and the machine needs something afterward, refill!" or no rule.
Does the probability to refill the machine differ, depending on the rule and will one of the two scenarios be unfair to those who drink more or less coffee?

Q: Elixir: Testing GenEvent for error reports I have a GenEvent that has been added as a handler like so :error_logger.add_report_handler(HoloNet.ErrorLogger)
So that errors/exceptions are captured and forwarded to a exception monitoring service.
I have the following code in a event behaviour
defmodule MyApp.ErrorLogger do
  use GenEvent

  @bugsnag_client Application.get_env(:my_app, :bugsnag_client)

  def init(_opts), do: {:ok, self}

  def handle_event({:error_report, _gl, {_pid, _type, [message | _]}}, state) do
    { error, stacktrace } = extract_exception(message[:error_info])
    context = extract_context(stacktrace)

    @bugsnag_client.notify(error,stacktrace, context: context, release_stage: Mix.env |> to_string)

    {:ok, state}
  end

  def handle_event({_level, _gl, _event}, state) do
    {:ok, state}
  end

  defp extract_exception(error_info) do
    { _, exception, _ } = error_info
     exception
  end

  defp extract_context(stacktrace) do
    stacktrace |> List.first |> elem 0
  end

end

The Client that makes the http request is mocked out using the application config.
defmodule Bugsnag.Mock do
  @behaviour Bugsnag

  def notify(error,stacktrace, options \\ []), do: nil
end

It works as it should when in production, but I wanted to have some test coverage.
I was thinking of testing this by crashing a GenServer or causing some exception then see if notify gets called. This doesn't feel very functional/Elixir, but I wanted to test that errors would be captured when an error is caused.

A: I say go ahead and crash things. :erlang.exit/2 will do the trick.
OTP and supervision trees are not easy. Testing how the application behaves under error conditions is necessary it you really want to achieve elixir's promised fault-tolerance.

Paikali dance which now survives in northern Orissa, especially in the districts of Mayrubhanj and Keonjhar, is a much stylized form of dance. It is marked for its leg extensions and stylized gaits which are very much similar to those of the widely known Chhau dances. Each of the Paikali dancers hold a sword in the right and a shield in the left hand. While dancing they also sing in a recitative style. They smear their bodies with a whitish kind of earth called Kaimati. A major segment of the dance is mock attack-and-defense called Ruk-maar-nacha which is the foundation of the Chhau dances. The orchestral music that accompanies Paikali is as rich as appealing. The orchestra consists of three kinds of drum, such as Dhol, a barrel shaped drum that dominates the music, Dhumsa, a huge kettledrum made of wood and Chadchadi, somewhat like snare drum. The melodic music is provided by Mahuri, a reeded wind instrument like Shehnai but with a sharper timber. The much evolved Chhau (see our Recreational Folk Dances) comprises the same musical instruments. Watching Paikali one will be convinced that it is the precursor of Chhau dances.

Malaysia troops find 13 bodies, hunt gunmen after Sabah assault
Bazuki Muhammad
FELDA SAHABAT, Malaysia (Reuters) - Malaysian security forces found 13 bodies of suspected Philippine militants as they expanded their hunt for an elusive armed group on the island of Borneo on Wednesday, a day after an assault with fighter jets, mortars and hundreds of troops.

The nearly month-long confrontation in Sabah state, in Malaysia's part of Borneo, was sparked when the armed group of about 200 sailed from the nearby southern Philippines to press an ancient claim to the resource-rich region.
"The total is 13. There could be more," Malaysian Defence Minister Zahid Hamidi told reporters at a media center set up at the palm oil plantation of Felda Sahabat.
It was unclear if the bodies found on Wednesday had been killed in Tuesday's massive assault or included some of the 19 militants that Malaysian officials said had been killed over the weekend. At least 27 people, including eight Malaysian policemen, have been killed since Friday's first clash.
Zahid, who produced what he described as pictures of some of the dead militants, said Malaysian forces had suffered no fresh casualties since the assault was launched on Tuesday.
Malaysian police warned residents to be on alert for members of the group who had escaped into plantations that dominate the coastal area and who could be posing as farmers.
Security forces clashed with suspected militants in three separate locations on Wednesday, state news agency Bernama said, with one gunman shot and believed to be dead.
"The mopping and searching will cover a wider area given there are signs the intruders moved to another location," police inspector-general Ismail Omar told reporters.
"The security forces are tracking down their movements and will take the appropriate action."
FIGHTERS WILL NOT RETURN HOME: SPOKESMAN
Allies of the group in Manila said they had been in telephone contact with Raja Muda Agbimuddin Kiram, the militants' leader and the brother of the self-proclaimed sultan, who said the group had split up to avoid detection.
Abraham Idjirani, a spokesman for the group, told Reuters that 10 of the sultan's followers had died in total, with 10 captured and four wounded.
"They will not come home and would rather die fighting if cornered," he said of the remaining followers in Sabah.
The family in Manila also said more followers had arrived to reinforce the group, a journey between the Southeast Asian neighbors that takes around an hour by speedboat.
Army trucks carrying dozens of soldiers continued to enter the village of Kampung Tanduo where the group had originally been holed up. A helicopter hovered overhead.
Fighter jets bombed the group's camp in the Felda Sahabat plantation early on Tuesday after Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said his patience had run out. Philippine officials had urged the group to return home.
The group says it represents the now defunct sultanate of Sulu in the southern Philippines and demands recognition and payment from Malaysia due to their claim to be rightful owners of Sabah.
The security headache has strained ties between the Philippines and Malaysia and could prompt Najib to delay an election that must be held by June, adding to nervousness among investors over what could be the country's closest ever polls.
The insecurity has disrupted operations in Sabah's huge palm oil industry. Prolonged trouble could dampen growing investor interest in energy and infrastructure projects in the state, although the main oil fields are far from the standoff.

Since the CA State Championship, the kids of Generation TKD were all working hard in preparation for the US National Championship TKD Tournament. Outside the confines of the walls of GT, other schools were also honing their skills, drill and strategies, while some were working on their stamina and core. But for the GT athletes, the gamut and array to prepare was to do it all and to do it hard.
After 3 weeks of the boot camp, the countdown to the US National Championship has now become mere days. How did Generation TKD close it up? With a picnic of course! Every year, Master Chino invited everyone from the studio to participate and bid the competition team some well wishes before they all fly away.

College History and Title
Queen's College, Cork was founded under the provisions of "An Act to enable Her Majesty to endow new Colleges for the Advancement of Learning in Ireland". Under the powers given by this Act the three Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway were incorporated on the 30th day of December, 1845.
The statutes were drawn up, and the system of education to be pursued in them was arranged, by a board called the Board of Queen's Colleges, consisting of the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the three colleges. The professors were appointed on 4th August, 1849, and on 30th October of the same year the colleges were opened for the reception of students.
The Queen's University in Ireland was founded in 1850, and its Charter provided that the Senate should have power to confer upon the students of the Queen's Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway such degrees and distinctions in the Faculties of Arts, Law and Physics as are granted and conferred in other colleges and universities of Great Britain and Ireland.
The Charter further ordained that any of the students of the three Queen's Colleges who should have obtained such degrees in any of the several Faculties of Arts, Medicine and Law, as should be conferred by the Chancellor and Senate of the Queen's University, should be fully possessed of all such rights, privileges and immunities, as belong to similar degrees granted by other universities or colleges.
The University Education (Ireland) Act, 1879, provided for the formation of a new University in Ireland, afterwards in its Charter styled the Royal University of Ireland, and for the dissolution of the Queen's University within two years from the date of the Charter of the Royal University. In this Act it was provided that the professors, graduates and matriculated students of the Queen's University, at the period of its dissolution, should become professors, graduates and matriculated students of the Royal University.
The Charter of the Royal University was granted on 27th April, 1880, and the Queen's University was dissolved on 3rd February, 1882.
Under the Irish Universities Act, 1908, two new Universities - the National University of Ireland and the Queen's University Belfast – were established, and on 31st October, 1909, the Royal University was dissolved. The 1908 Act provided that graduates and matriculated students of the Royal University should become graduates and matriculated students of one of the two new universities.

I really want to get something done about the ugly construction fences in the neighborhood. Local artists, children, something to brighten things up and make passerbyers say, "Wow that is really great".
Besides working towards transforming the political and economic system so that it benefits low-to moderate income households, independently-owned businesses and manufacturers, and community based initiatives; I resolve to learn how to make eggplant parmigiana from scratch.
For Moviehouse, I resolve to keep experimenting with video and performance and bring back the puppets even if it kills me.
I resolve to work harder in our movement for good government policies to reclaim our housing, schools, parks, community, health and the environment.
It is my hope that I will be able to serve to the best of my ability and have a positive impact on people's lives.
Editor's note: This story was updated on January 11 to update Susan Albrecht's assocation. She is no longer a community board member, and, as of January 11, NAG co-chair, as was previously mentioned.


In this decision, the Commission denies a request by Société en commandite Télébec for additional contribution relating to the year 2001.
The Commission received an application by Société en commandite Télébec (Télébec), dated 14 November 2003. Télébec requested $0.7 million of additional contribution relating to the year 2001.
The Commission received no comments regarding this application.
In Competition in the provision of public long distance voice telephone services and related resale and sharing issues, Telecom Decision CRTC 92-12, 12 June 1992 (Decision 92-12), the Commission established the terms and conditions for long distance competition in the territories of the major telephone companies under its jurisdiction at that time. The terms and conditions established by the Commission in Decision 92-12 included a contribution mechanism whereby competitors were required to make contribution payments to the major incumbent telephone companies in order to help maintain local rates at affordable levels.
In Review of regulatory framework, Telecom Decision CRTC 94-19, 16 September 1994 (Decision 94-19), the Commission established a new regulatory framework for the major telephone companies under the Commission's jurisdiction at that time. The regulatory framework included a per-minute contribution mechanism, with a contribution rate determined for each incumbent telephone company by dividing their forecast contribution requirement for a given year by their forecast total originating and terminating minutes for that same year.
In Regulatory framework for Québec-Téléphone and Télébec ltée, Telecom Decision CRTC 96-5, 7 August 1996 (Decision 96-5), the Commission determined that the basic regulatory framework set out in Decision 94-19 would also be applied to Télébec ltée, now known as Société en commandite Télébec, and Québec-Téléphone, now known as TELUS Communications (Québec) Inc. (TELUS Québec).
In Changes to the contribution regime, Decision CRTC 2000-745, 30 November 2000 (Decision 2000-745), the Commission determined that a national revenue-based contribution regime would replace the existing per-minute contribution mechanism, effective 1 January 2001. The Commission calculated the interim 2001 revenue-percent charge based upon the interim 2001 national subsidy requirement, which included the final 1999 contribution requirements for Télébec and TELUS Québec. The Commission noted that the final 2001 revenue-percent charge would be calculated including the final 2001 contribution requirements for Télébec and TELUS Québec. The Commission also directed that new individual central funds should be established for Saskatchewan Telecommunications, Télébec and TELUS Québec to allow for the distribution of the monthly funds collected within the individual company territories. The Commission established interim 2001 distribution percentages that would be used to allocate the monthly funds collected, on a national basis, to the individual central funds.
In Télébec final 2001 contribution requirement and rate, Order CRTC 2001-598, 26 July 2001 (Order 2001-598), the Commission approved a final 2001 contribution requirement of $27.3 million for Télébec, with a corresponding contribution rate of $0.0372.
In Re: Decision CRTC 2000-745 - Final 2001 percentages for the distribution of contribution revenues collected, Decision CRTC 2001-546, 31 August 2001 (Decision 2001-546), the Commission established the final 2001 distribution percentages to be used to allocate the monthly funds collected to the individual central funds.
In Subject: Decision CRTC 2000-745 - Final 2001 revenue-percent charge for contribution set at 4.5%, Decision CRTC 2001-617, 1 October 2001 (Decision 2001-617), the Commission established the final 2001 revenue-percent charge at 4.5%.
Télébec noted that the Commission approved a final 2001 contribution requirement for the company of $27.3 million in Order 2001-598. Télébec also noted that, in Decision 2001-546, the Commission established the final 2001 percentages for the distribution of contribution revenues, taking into account Télébec's and TELUS Québec's final 2001 contribution requirements approved in Order 2001-598.
Télébec submitted that, while its approved final 2001 contribution requirement was $27.3 million, it only received $26.6 million during 2001, resulting in a $0.7 million shortfall. In Télébec's view, the $0.7 million shortfall was not in the spirit of the contribution mechanism established in Decision 2000-745.
The Commission notes that the regulatory framework approved in Decision 94-19 did not provide for a reconciliation between actual and forecast toll minutes or contribution requirements. Therefore, a company would receive more or less contribution than was approved in any given year if the actual toll minutes were more or less than the forecast toll minutes.
Given that the regulatory framework approved in Decision 96-5 for Télébec was the same basic framework as set out in Decision 94-19, the Commission, in Decision 96-5, did not provide for a reconciliation between actual and forecast toll minutes or contribution requirements. As such, the actual contribution received by Télébec could be either more or less than the forecasted contribution requirement due to the difference between actual and forecast toll minutes.
The Commission notes that, in Decision 2000-745, it only changed the manner in which the contribution funds were collected for 2001, from a per-minute based mechanism to a revenue-based mechanism. For 2001, the manner in which the contribution funds were distributed did not change, nor was a reconciliation process introduced.
The Commission notes that the 4.5% revenue-percent charge, finalized in Decision 2001-617, was based upon the 2001 contribution requirements for all of the companies involved, including Télébec's final 2001 contribution requirement approved in Order 2001-598, and all forecasted contribution-eligible revenues. The Commission also notes that, in Decision 2001-617, it stated that it was of the view that any over- or under-collection of subsidy would not be material.
The Commission considers that, based upon its statement in Decision 2001-617 concerning over- or under-collection, it is clear that the Commission was aware that the telephone companies could receive more or less subsidy than forecast/approved and that the actual amount of subsidy received depended upon the funds collected.
The Commission notes that, similar to Télébec, all of the other telephone companies received their proportionate share of the total contribution collected in 2001. Therefore, also similar to Télébec, all of these telephone companies received proportionately less contribution than was forecast/approved. The Commission also notes that 2001 was the last year for a possible over- or under-collection to occur.
In light of the above, the Commission denies Télébec's request for additional contribution relating to the year 2001.
