The Science of News and Analysis
Ignoring the Astana Talks, the US Is Increasing Its Military Presence in Syria's Deir ez-Zor Province
President Trump's announcement that he intends to order the US military out of Syria attracted a lot of public attention, unlike the war preparations that preceded and followed those statements.
Three months ago, the American military established an outpost in Manbij, in the wake of Turkey's threats to seize control of the area. The US has some 300 soldiers based at two facilities there. In March, US Marines beefed up the military presence at the Al-Tanf base in southern Syria that is located just a few miles from the Jordanian border. The American military has established a 55-km. no-go zone around that facility.
On May 15, US personnel were reported to be setting up a new base in Badiyeh al-Sha'afa in Syria's Deir ez-Zor province. It's hard to believe that this move is justified by the need to confront the Islamic State — that once-powerful enemy now on the brink of extinction. One does not need new bases to finish it off. The Syrian army is well versed in how to do that.
Last month US forces were also reported to be building a new outpost at the al-Omar oil field in southeastern Deir ez-Zor. They were deployed to positions around the Conoco and al-Jafreh oil fields. On April 7, the area around the oil fields in Deir ez-Zor was declared a military zone by the US-led SDF. That group has already clashed with Syrian forces in the fight to control the province.
The SDF is constantly reinforcing its positions in Deir ez-Zor as part of its ongoing Operation Al-Jazeera Storm, which was launched on May 1. It recently seized al-Baghuz and is pushing the remaining ISIS forces out of the pocket of Hajin and al-Dashisha along the border with Iraq. These operations are coordinated with the Iraqi air force. The SDF Arab-Kurdish forces have liberated about 65 square kilometers from Daesh. Making short work of whatever is left of the Islamic State is certainly a good thing, but Syrian troops will not be allowed in. The territory will become part of a quasi-state created to become a separate entity.
Despite its recent claims to the contrary, the US is hunkering down in Syria for the long haul. The US, Saudi Arabia, and France have already discussed the possibility of joint actions against Iran. The administration is pressing its Arab allies to do more. French forces are already operating in Deir ez-Zor together with the SDF.
The US buildup in northeastern Syria is important for cutting off any direct land route from Tehran across to the Mediterranean.
It is symbolic that the United States was not present at the Astana round of talks on May 14-15. It shows that Washington is no longer interested in de-escalation zones. It wants a divided Syria, with a new, pro-US entity on the map of the Middle East. It is creating local governing bodies that operate independently from Damascus, with enough money flowing in to keep them functional. And it would like to see other parts of Syria plunge into an all-against-all war. Instead of nation-building, Washington is engaged in nation-destruction. That's why it continues to train rebel forces at Al-Tanf. The militants are not undergoing special exercises to hone their skills for peacekeeping operations, but rather for subversive activities.
Syria's territorial integrity is guaranteed by UN Resolution 2254 — a binding document that the US, along with France, is in flagrant violation of.
But what if the US achieves in Syria what it wanted to do in Iraq — create a prosperous, pro-Western "democratic" state that can become a shining example for other Arab states to follow? The Iraqis have failed to grasp this "opportunity." On May 15, they proved that once again by voting for Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of Saraya al-Salam, who fought against the US-imposed "liberation."
The UN General Assembly's condemnation of Washington's decision to relocate its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem shows how badly the US needs a success to rescue its waning clout in the region. Becoming the leader of the anti-Iranian coalition is how they've decided to do that and the location for that is Syria. The creation of a pro-Western entity in northeastern Syria will weaken Iran's influence in Iraq and keep Russia contained.
But things could go the other way around. What if the Kurdish-dominated forces plunge into clashes with the local Arab population and the problems of inefficient local governance mount, while the Astana process makes progress thanks to the cease-fire and restoration of peaceful life in the de-escalation zones? A Kurdish-dominated entity, even if it is pro-US, is not something that Turkey may like or accept. Will the partition of Syria boost US standing in the region? Other Arab nations will think twice about letting America play a role in the management of any conflict. There are more questions than answers, but we have what we have — the US military presence in Syria is ballooning, hampering peace efforts and provoking armed conflicts.

However, since the observables are quadratic in the wave function, this sign ambiguity is perfectly acceptable physically, and these representations must be included. In more formal terms, this means that, for spatial rotations, the physically relevant group is not SO(3) but rather SU (2). We recall some facts about SU (2) representations, well known from non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The Lie algebras of SU (2) and of SO(3) are the same, and are given by the angular momentum algebra [J i , J j ] = i ijk Jk .
11) is ηµν x µ x ν = ηµν (Λµρ xρ )(Λν σ xσ ) = ηρσ xρ xσ . 2 Since this must hold for x generic, we must have ηρσ = ηµν Λµρ Λν σ . 13) In matrix notation, this can be rewritten as η = ΛT ηΛ. Taking the determinant of both sides, we therefore have (det Λ)2 = 1 or det Λ = ±1. g. a parity transformation (t, x, y, z) → (t, −x, −y, −z), or a reflection around a single spatial axis (t, x, y, z) → (t, −x, y, z), or a time-reversal transformation, (t, x, y, z) → (−t, x, y, z). Transformations with det Λ = +1 are called proper Lorentz transformations.
1) g → DR (g) with the properties that (i): DR (e) = 1, where 1 is the identity operator, and (ii): DR (g1 )DR (g2 ) = DR (g1 g2 ), so that the mapping preserves the group structure. The space on which the operators DR act is called the basis for the representation R. A typical example of a representation is a matrix representation. 7 The Poincar´ e group 34 14 Lorentz and Poincar´ e symmetries in QFT n, and an abstract group element g is represented by a n × n matrix (DR (g))i j , with i, j = 1, .


Writer Debbie Russell's main goal for her new website is to promote her young adult book series, The Eye of the Goddess. Debbie wanted a site that gave her readers a sneak peek of what's to come in the series.
The main focus of the website header was the book's cover art of Jordan's Goddess. Our job was to incorporate this artwork into a website design keeping the starry sky and bringing a "magical" look and feel to the site. This custom WordPress website features a calendar of events so Debbie can promote her appearances and books signings, while her search engine-friendly blog allows her to post current news and interviews. The best part is that the site is built in the WordPress CMS, so Debbie can update her site from any computer with access to the web.
To complete the project, we designed a matching Twitter profile and Facebook fan page in Flash to continue The Eye of the Goddess branding and let the fans of the book connect with her online. Along with our start-up SEO package, Debbie is ready to promote her wonderful series of books!


While the message-passing paradigm, seen in programming models such as MPI and UPC, has provided a solution for efficiently programming on distributed memory computer systems, this approach is not a panacea for the needs of all scientists. The traditional method of developing parallel applications in C/C++ and Fortran potentially leaves behind high-level and heterogeneous environments which are the most conducive for supporting modern computational science endeavors. PRESTO alleviates this problem with an easy-to-use framework which provides multi-language adapters to a flexible MPI middleware supporting common computational models such as the asynchronous master/worker and ring pipeline in heterogeneous environments.

Astor Piazzolla, who is to the tango what John Philip Sousa is to the march, grew up in Argentina, playing tangos on the bandoneon, an instrument related to the accordion.
Determined to become a serious composer of classical music, Piazzolla spent a decade writing symphonies, piano concertos and chamber music. After winning a composers' competition, he was given the opportunity to study with the famed French pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, mentor to composers such as Aaron Copland and Philip Glass.
When Piazzolla presented his work for the first time to Boulanger, she stopped him in his tracks.
"All of a sudden she says, 'Why don't you play a piece of the music you write in tango? I'm very much interested,'" Piazzolla recalled in an interview with the Washington Post in 1988.
"I played eight bars, and she just took my two hands and put them against her chest and said, 'This is Astor Piazzolla. This is the music you have to go on writing, not that. Throw that into the garbage.'"
"And that's what I did," Piazzolla continued. "I threw 10 years out of my life into the garbage. Now I write classical music, or symphonies, but always with a tango taste in it, trying the most to be Astor Piazzolla always."
Grand Rapids Symphony, joined by dancers from Grand Rapids Ballet, will perform Two Tangos by Piazzolla on Friday and Saturday in DeVos Performance Hall for a concert titled "Rhythm of the Dance."
The concert of spicy Spanish and lush Latinx music from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean also welcomes Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas back to Grand Rapids to play the world's most popular concerto for guitar and orchestra, Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez.
Music Director Marcelo Lehninger leads the Grand Rapids Symphony in music by Spanish composer Manuel de Falla Suite No. 1 from The Three-Cornered Hat, and Three Latin American Dances, a contemporary work written by Gabriela Lena Frank, a Grammy Award-winning American composer of Peruvian descent.
The Brazilian-born conductor also will lead the orchestra in Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera's Four Dances from Estancia.
"It's such a fun piece," Lehninger said. The last movement makes you want to jump out of your seat."
If there's one musical instrument that defines Spanish music, it's the guitar, and if there's one piece for guitar and orchestra that towers above all others, Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, a piece inspired by the gardens at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez in Spain.
Villegas, a past winner of the Andres Segovia Award as well as the first winner of the Christopher Parkening Guitar Competition, returns to DeVos Hall, two years after his Grand Rapids Symphony debut in January 2016.
"He is an incredible Spanish guitarist," said Lehninger, who worked with Villegas last year in North Carolina.
Having lost his sight at the age of 3, Rodrigo was a virtuoso pianist and gifted composer. Though he was not a guitar player himself, several of his works for guitar and orchestra are among the most beloved in the repertoire.
Composed in 1939 and premiered the following year, Concierto de Aranjuez includes one of the most hauntingly beautiful English horn solos in the symphonic repertoire. It was inspired by the gardens at the Palacio Real de Aranjuez, the spring resort built by King Philip II in the latter half of the 16th century in the town of Aranjuez, 30 miles south of Madrid. The music transports audiences to another time and place.
"For me, the guitar is the most wonderful and expressive instrument," Villegas told Billboard Magazine in 2016. "When I play a concert, people always say, 'I never heard the guitar sound the way that you play it.' And that is exactly what I am looking for. We're talking about an emotional connection through the music using the guitar."
Born and raised in La Rioja, Spain, a region full of wineries and bodegas in northern Spain, Villegas has shared the stage with such distinguished musicians as Plácido Domingo, who has described him as "the master of the guitar."
Villegas's work as an ambassador of the Spanish guitar has taken him across the globe, performing before members of the Spanish Royal Family as well as other heads of state and international leaders such as the Dalai Lama. He has received over 30 international awards.
Five dancers from Grand Rapids Ballet – Cassidy Isaacson, Emily Reed, Josue Justiz, Levi Teachout and Nathan Young – will join the orchestra on stage to dance to Two Tangos, Oblivion and Primavera Portena, by Piazzolla, the Argentinean master of the tango.
"It's really wonderful when we can partner with other organizations in the community," Lehninger said.

No need for full facemasks in college baseball

OMAHA, Neb. — LSU's Greg Deichmann broke his cheekbone in three places when he was hit by a pitch in a preseason scrimmage, and since surgery he has worn a protective cage that covers the right side of his face.
The Oakland Athletics' second-round draft pick plans to continue wearing the shield in pro baseball.
"It gives me a sense of security," he said. "I don't have any post-traumatic stress or anything like that, but it's become part of my game now, and it's a little bit of a comfort knowing it's there."
Florida's Ryan Larson sustained the same injury as Deichmann, and also required surgery, after getting beaned in the Southeastern Conference Tournament three weeks ago. He wears a similar cage over the left side of his face. He, too, said it gives him peace of mind.
A study to be published in July in the Journal of Athletic Training looked at ball-contact injuries in 11 NCAA sports from 2009-10 through 2014-15. The conclusion was that softball, women's field hockey and baseball had the highest rates of that type of injury. Lead author Missy Fraser, assistant professor of athletic training at Texas State, said she hopes the study can be a starting point for college baseball and other sports to re-examine regulations for protective equipment.
Leg, elbow and wrist guards and padded base-running gloves are common, and catcher masks have evolved to reduce concussion risk. Full facemasks on batting helmets are optional at the Little League, high school and college levels, though some local youth organizations do require them.
Fraser said in an interview that previous studies have shown full facemasks reduce facial injuries. But Deichmann and Larson, both of whom played in the College World Series this past weekend, said they would not favor making them mandatory.
It should be the player's choice, they said.
"I would rather have nothing in my line of sight, really," Larson said. "I feel pretty comfortable as it is that I'm going to get out of the way."
Larson pointed out that a facemask wouldn't have prevented his injury because the ball struck his helmet, not his face, and still shattered his cheekbone. Deichmann said it took him a couple of games to adjust to his half cage being in his peripheral vision.
"A full facemask would be more of a distraction than anything," he said.
According to the study, 16.8 percent of the baseball injuries reported in the six-year span were associated with the ball striking the player. Of those, injuries to the hand and wrist were most common, followed by head and face injuries. More than half the ball-contact injuries were to batters, and most resulted only in bruises. Fractures accounted for 10.4 percent and concussions for 6.1 percent.
Softball reported the most ball-contact injuries in the study, and 37.4 percent of them were to the head or face, compared with 19.6 percent for baseball. Reaction time is reduced in softball because it is played on a more compact field — the distance from pitcher to batter is 43 feet, as opposed to 60 feet, 6 inches in baseball — and it's common for batters to wear full facemasks. Full cages have been mandatory nationally in high school softball since 2006.
Some softball pitchers, such as standout Paige Lowary of national champion Oklahoma, choose to wear facemasks in the circle, as do some softball infielders.
"When I played softball, that didn't exist at all," Fraser said. "Now, if you asked me to play with the cage, I probably wouldn't do it because it would be new and different and uncomfortable. But that's me. A lot of girls now who are in college started wearing these cages when they were coming up, so that's normal for them.
"In baseball, if that becomes more of the norm, where youth baseball players are wearing them, as they stay engaged with those and continue to wear those, that will also become the norm in baseball."
Major league players such as Giancarlo Stanton and Jason Heyward have worn protective guards on their helmets since getting hit by pitches in recent years.
Baseball has tinkered with special hats and hat inserts to help protect pitchers from line drives, but pitcher masks are hard to envision at the highest levels. That's because of the design challenges stemming from the pitcher wearing a hat and the overhead throwing motion being more complicated than the linear softball motion. A mask also would interfere with the peripheral vision required when pitching from the stretch to hold base runners.
TCU pitcher Brian Howard acknowledged the danger of line drives, but "I don't think it's to the point where we need to wear masks as pitchers yet."
"It's just part of the game," he said. "It's scary when it happens. It's definitely a big deal, but it's not something that I've seen too often."
Florida's Larson said baseball culture would be an obstacle to players willingly wearing full facemasks, batting or in the field.
"Guys just don't want to show weakness," he said. "You don't want to give the opponent an upper hand; 'Hey, I'm worried about this happening.' I definitely say that's a part of it."

Pop Star Tom Parker ENGAGED
Former THE WANTED star TOM PARKER is off the market.
The singer has proposed to actress Kelsey Hardwick after dating since 2009.
"I feel like the happiest man in the world," the 27-year-old pop star told Hello! as he announced the engagement, explaining it took him months to plan the magical moment.
"There was a trail of rose petals leading to the TV where I'd set up a montage of all our pictures from the day we met until now," he said. "I was crying my eyes out at this point. Then at the end it said, 'Here's to the next chapter, turn around', and when she turned around I was down on one knee. I literally could not get my words out, I was so overcome with emotion."
There's no date set, but Tom and Kelsey have a few celebrity guests planned – he hopes to invite pals David and Victoria Beckham and Justin Bieber, his one-time label mate.
His links to the Beckhams isn't random – Parker and his The Wanted bandmates performed at Romeo Beckham's 10th birthday party in Los Angeles in 2012.
And Kelsey is hoping close pal Pixie Lott will be a big part of the wedding as she was with the actress on the night she met her future husband.
But first, Kelsey, who appeared in Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban, has to track Pixie down – and tell her she's engaged.
"I'm dying to tell her…," she says. "She'll be so happy!"
And Tom is hoping his former bandmates will be a part of the wedding, adding, "I'd love the boys to be ushers."
The Wanted went on an indefinite hiatus in 2014 after originally forming in 2009.

Delhi Court Awards Three-year Jail Term to Two Directors of Company in Jharkhand Coal Scam Case
Representative image: Reuters
Special judge Bharat Parashar also imposed a fine of Rs 75 lakh on the company, while Rs 40 lakh each was imposed on the Agarwals. Besides, the court also directed Kanungo to pay a fine of Rs one lakh.
New Delhi: A Delhi court on Thursday awarded varying jail terms to three persons in a coal scam case related to irregularities in the allocation of the Jharkhand-based North Dhadhu coal block.
Two directors of Pawanjay Steel and Power Limited (PSPL), Gyanchand Prasad Agarwal (70) and Umesh Prasad Agarwal (58), were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a period of three years each for the offences of criminal conspiracy (120-B of IPC) and cheating (420 of IPC), while 65-year-old S K Kanungo, Chief Manager (Marketing) of Hari Machines Ltd (HML), was jailed for a period of two years for the offence punishable under 120-B of the IPC.
It said "dishonest misrepresentation" was made by the accused before the Screening Committee and it continued even before then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was also holding the portfolio of Minister of Coal, approved the recommendation of the committee.
"Off-late the anti social activities of persons of the upper socioeconomic strata of the society in their occupation and which have come to be known as 'white collar crimes' have attracted attention...
"Such white collar crimes are in fact more dangerous to the society than ordinary crimes, firstly, because the financial losses are much higher, and, secondly because of the damages inflicted on public morale," the court said.
The court dismissed the contentions of the advocate P K Dubey, appearing for the convicts, that no loss was caused to anyone as no coal could be extracted, saying that "non-extraction of coal in itself has caused huge loss to the country".
"Non-availability of such an important raw material has in fact caused an immense loss to the country in its journey to achieve higher infrastructural/industrial development. Thus, it is the country as a whole which has suffered loss on account of such unscrupulous acts of the convict persons," it said.
CBI's Senior Public Prosecutor A P Singh had prayed for award of maximum punishment to the convict persons submitting that on account of act of the convict persons the important nationalised natural resources of the country were squandered away and thereby impacting the very industrial development of the country.
The court, however, granted bail to three convict persons for a period of 30 days on a personal bond and a surety bond of Rs one lakh each to enable them to file appeal in the high court against the verdict.
The court had on September 28, 2016 summoned the accused for the alleged offences of criminal conspiracy and cheating, saying "prima facie there were sufficient incriminating evidence on record" against them.
The court later granted bail to all the accused persons after they appeared before it in pursuance to the summons.
The CBI had registered the case under the IPC and Prevention of Corruption Act against PSPL, its officials, Kanungo and other unidentified persons, including public servants.
However, the CBI said that charge sheet against some other officials and public servants could not be filed as sufficient evidence could not be brought on record. It added that it may file supplementary charge sheet in the case.
The charge sheet had said, "PSPL and its two directors, along with Kanungo, hatched a criminal conspiracy with a view to deceive Ministry of Coal (MoC) so as to induce it to allocate a captive coal block in favour of the accused firm."
"During the processing of their application, they also furnished wrong information supported with false documents to Ministry of Steel (MoS) so as to deceive them and thereby inducing them to make a recommendation in favour of PSPL to MoC for allotment of a coal block," it had said.
It alleged that PSPL had also submitted wrong information about the land actually acquired by them at the proposed project site in Jharkhand.
"It was also found that the accused had furnished false information to the Government of Jharkhand also so as to deceive them and thereby inducing them to make recommendation in favour of PSPL to MoC for allotment of a captive coal block," it had said.

I even have had this expertise, and irrespective of how I and the family attempt to make ourselves at house, there's all the time that little factor missing, that makes you notice that there isn't any place like dwelling. You are paying to have up to 10 photos and your house particulars made available on-line. They boast a mean 22 days to promote, but they are going to most likely value your house rather less than you're comfy with as they will not discuss up the worth to get your online business. Each of my DIY Birdhouse Plans include a reducing list and diagram with step-by-step directions on easy methods to construct the birdhouse.

On the weird and mystical island on LOST Ben had everyone around him wrapped around his little finger; each walking right into his plans with every step they took (and he ALWAYS had a plan). Practical matters having to do with loss of life come below Eighth House jurisdiction, so wills, life insurance coverage, and funerals happen now. You wouldn't cost the same amount of cash for a effectively cared for, single story 1500 sq. foot condominium that you'd charge for a 4 bedroom, 4 toilet two story house.

The Bristol Avon catchment partnership (BACP) comprises a range of organisations, groups, authorities and individuals dedicated to working together to improve the water environment and provide wider benefits for people and nature at a catchment scale - known as a catchment based approach (CaBA).
Formed in 2012 with support of central government, the partnership has produced a catchment plan to work towards achieving a better water environment for all.
The Bristol Avon catchment encompasses the North Somerset coastal streams and the Lower Severn Vale sub catchments.
In its entirety, the catchment drains over 2,800km² of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset, with the Bristol Avon River itself flowing through the dramatic Avon Gorge and into the Severn Estuary.
There is a strong farming heritage, particularly in the north of the catchment, and the catchment landscape is important for wildlife, angling, navigation and recreation.
The Bristol Avon and its tributaries flow through the towns of Malmesbury, Chippenham, Trowbridge, Frome and Radstock, and in its lower reaches, through Bath and Bristol. The catchment is home to more than one million people. The Bristol Avon catchment also encompasses the North Somerset coastal streams and the Lower Severn Vale sub catchments.
The water environment includes all rivers, streams and wetlands that drain within the catchment landscape. It also includes all the different types of landscape that we build on, cultivate and modify; all of these human interventions have an impact on the water cycle and can, for example, lead to an increased risk of pollution leaching in to our watercourses and ground water aquifers.
The water environment includes all rivers, streams and wetlands that drain within the catchment landscape.
Why do we need to work in partnership?
The government aims to ensure all waterbodies in England meet good ecological status by 2027. Any waterbody that does not meet good ecological status is classified as failing under the European Union's Water Framework Directive.
Only 11% of the catchment is classified as having 'good ecological status'.
Although this is typical of other catchments in the UK, it demonstrates the scale of the challenge to meet the Water Framework Directive targets.
89% fail to meet the targets.
Heavy rainfall running off rural and urban areas causes surface water and river flooding in specific locations.
Tidal flooding continues to be a threat in the lower reaches of the catchment.
What is the Bristol Avon catchment partnership?
BACP is one of over 100 catchment partnerships across England to support the CaBA which embeds collaborative working at a river catchment scale to deliver cross-cutting improvements to our water environments.
BACP is supported by a steering group and there are also various project task groups who meet regularly to develop and deliver partnership projects from across the catchment. In 2018/19 the BACP is being co-hosted by Wessex Water and the Bristol Avon Rivers Trust (BART).
The governance structure of BACP is currently being updated - a new terms of reference document will be available shortly.
1. Improve public understanding about the value and services provided to society and the local economy by the river catchment and its wildlife.
2. Improve water and flood risk management to reduce and slow run-off from rural and urban land, to increase water capture and to increase aquifer recharge.
3. Improve land management and sustainable agriculture to reduce soil erosion and nutrient and pesticide loss, and to provide better links between habitats for wildlife.
4. Improve waste water management to reduce nutrients in watercourses from public and private waste water.
5. Improve river management to increase connectivity between habitats, reduce barriers to fish migration.
6. Improve recreational management to increase access and recreational use of water and the wider environment, delivering wide ranging physical and mental health benefits.
7. Improve investment opportunities for partnership-led projects that deliver multiple benefits within the catchment.
You can find more information about our goals and our agreed actions in our catchment plan.

Intertain Sets the Stage for Success in London with Stellar Analyst Day Web Conference
Intertain is an online gaming company that provides entertainment to a global consumer base. The largest online bingo-led operator in the world, Intertain currently offers bingo and casino games to its customers using the InterCasino, Costa, Vera&John, Jackpotjoy, Starspins and Botemania brands.
Since January 25, 2017, Intertain is an indirect subsidiary of Jackpotjoy plc and continues to be a reporting issuer in Canada.
Making a good first impression in a new marketplace
In 2016, Intertain planned to move their company headquarters from Toronto, Canada to London, United Kingdom. As they look to capture the attention of a new audience in a new marketplace, a good first impression was a top priority for the corporate communications team. (click to tweet)
An Analyst Day web conference with attendees both domestic and across the pond creates a lot of technical moving parts, which has been a headache for Intertain in the past. "For our last Analyst Day, we used in-house services and unfortunately ran into hiccups with both the internet connection and video quality," said Amanda Brewer, Vice President, Corporate Communications at Jackpotjoy Group. This was the first time that many investors and analysts would be introduced to Intertain's c-suite executives, the brand, customer base, and the way the company communicates their information. "It needed to be high-quality not only in the room, but online for our North American investors."
Provide high-quality online and offline experience for global investors
Intertain came to CNW, a Cision Company, early on to see what the company could offer it with respect to audio and video conferencing, especially to avoid technical difficulties. "I needed to have a firm understanding of the logistics around web conferencing, along with all the A/V and technical requirements within the back-end of the system," said Brewer.
The Analyst Day required webcast services, which included audio and video conferencing and had to allow for a large number of North American investors to connect. While not a complicated set-up, the conference required a lot of coordination between regional teams (click to tweet). "We needed to not only work with CNW sales in Canada and their multimedia team in London, but we were also coordinating with our ground support team and the hotel staff where the in-person event was being held," said Brewer.
Due to the nature of the material, Intertain had a few last minute requests for the CNW team. "We needed the ability to pre-screen participants to ensure that the right people were on the call and that those who were restricted access couldn't find a way in," said Brewer. "CNW rolled with these changes graciously."
Impressive, glitch-free event
From a technical perspective, the event went off without a hitch. "With investors spanning over many countries and time zones, participants aren't always forthcoming with positive feedback," said Brewer. "At this event, we had really great feedback from attendees both in the room and online." (click to tweet)
The coordination of multiple teams and vendors played a big role in the event's success. "Given CNW's size and depth of their experience, and the fact that they have teams globally, [we] approached them with every confidence that they could put together not only the right products and services, but also ensure that the event ran smoothly, which it did," said Brewer. (click to tweet)
As a result of this positive experience, Intertain will continue working with CNW on future projects, even now that official operations have moved to London. "We are keeping lines of communications open," said Brewer.

Well, it's been a fun season guys, but MJD (in his infinite wisdom) just said that the 1 thing you can "take to the bank" this weekend, is that Nick Foles and the Iggles will come down and beat the Saints in the bayou.
Of all the things to hang your hat on for this weekend, this chunky little troll picks the Iggles?!?!? I know he's a Saints hater, but this fool has officially fallen off his rocker!
Why is he still so fat?
Most ex football players trim way down after their career is over.
If you look at a lot of the former RBs, especially the "littler" guys, they tend to get chuncked out after they hang'em up. MJD just let himself go, and apparently the fat soaked into his brain. I liked him as a player (before I started to hear what goes on in his feeble mind), but now I just regard him as another idiot in the media.
It's almost as if they elect one guy to make the dumbest "bold prediction" each week, and he keeps picking the shortest straw.
Perfect resemblance! Johnny Cash is greatness, as our coach!!!
Deuce lives in New Orleans. He has an excuse.
Not surprised...He has been against the Saints since he has been on the NFL channel...Oh and he has little hands.
That clown has picked against us all year. I don't understand why he hates us so much. What's his deal?
I don't know if he likes us or hates us. He works the local rams radio broadcast so he pulls against us.
It is what it is man. The dream scenario for the media is to have Philly and Dallas win so they can get the Boys hosting the NFCCG.
Right? What the heck? He looks 20 pounds more roly-poly than he did last week and quite disheveled with his jacket flap in the back constantly raising up (not sure if it was from his huge arse or a microphone issue) and his shirt untucked!
He has always suffered from Reggie envy. He went to UCLA and won nothing, Reggie went to USC and won a national championship. Reggie was the 2nd player drafted in 2006, he was the 60th. Reggie became a Super Bowl Champion with the Saints, he spent his career on teams that went 53 and 91. Reggie will always be a Saint. So he hates the Saints.
I used to feel sorry for MJD and his crappy Jaguar teams who's only relevance years ago was getting their butts handed to them twice a year by the Colts. They occasionally had a fluke win against Indy every now and then but it was nothing to write home about.
At least David Garrard was likable and since retirement, he runs a gym that specializes in helping people with Chrons disease.
I had recorded that NFL Access or whatever that show is with Woodson ( whom I respect and didn't hear his say anything about Our SAINTS "yet""-------HOWEVER , I DID hear that ludicrous statement, with his over the top "pregnant pause for effect" and all, SAY that Horse Hockey?
WHY is that little nub of a "I didn't accomplish ANYTHING in my career in The NFL" numb skull all up and act a fool and become some kind of SAINTS hater, "wish I had been a real baller instead of ending up LOOKING "LIKE" a Bowling Ball", amidst many TRUE Hall of Famers who dot TNFLN's line-up of Coaches and real Gold Jacketed Players?
I don't GET the "WHY" of it when there's so many really talented and accomplished, post-career players who just might want a shot at telecasting, they are articulate and can not only Bring The Rings ( Look at N.E.'s and OUR FB, Heath Evans for an example as a guy who was interesting to listen to and you'd learn some inside "stuff" on Belicheck and Brady and Sean AND DREW as a prime example~! I can only think Heath moved on to greener pastures or a more lucrative gig somewhere else maybe even Coaching somewhere? I really don't know but just ONE of MANY examples of those who had careers had they wanted it instead of the little DUD who looks more at home in a Lil Ceasar's "Pizza-Pizza" commercial than in bad suits which he wears as if he's between sizes of something? I just don't GET it AT ALL>~! And, That's NOT even counting my own home-ism and hating on him and his SAINTS bashing BS which has no true foundation I can see as he hasn't EVER gotten ANY "facts" expressed about ANY team that I know of. Then again, I hardly watch ANY of these shows and only now to take the temp. of the media which , BTW, Maurice insults that scummy industry even further than it already is scrambling to fill time with programming, especially during the "Off Season"~! They will throw spaghetti on the wall to see if it sticks during that drought of programing~!
I know I ran long and I apologize except for the fact that we're about to play in The Divisional Round and beating filthy philly and hosting The Conference Championship Game AGAIN~! I'm pretty excited because the LAST TIME we did this? WE WON THE SUPERBOWL and I believe we have the pieces in place to make that happen once again. So, forgive me and I hope this will be the LAST season we have to put up with some guy named Maurice ( sounds and looks like a pastry chef at a Cafe' in the back end of the Quarters to me~!).
AS ALWAYS; "GEAUX SAINTS GEAUX~! Doc Daddy is OUT~!
I guess I'm saying ANYBODY BUT Maurice would be an improvement by a long shot~!

Jeux olympiques de Tokyo 2020
Au début des Jeux olympiques de Tokyo, l'Inde était classée numéro 8 au monde et n'était pas considérée comme un concurrent sérieux. L'Inde a connu une performance historique sous sa direction, atteignant les demi-finales pour la première fois. Ils ont connu un début de tournoi catastrophique, s'inclinant successivement face aux Pays-Bas (1 - 5), à l'Allemagne (0 - 2) et à la Grande-Bretagne (1 - 4) en phase de groupes. Cependant, l'Inde a battu l'Irlande 1 - 0 et l'Afrique du Sud 1 4 - 3 pour se qualifier pour les quarts de finale. Là, ils ont étourdi alors le numéro un mondial. 3 Australie 1 - 0, pour passer en demi-finale pour la première fois de l'histoire. Cependant, l'Inde a perdu contre le numéro un mondial. 2 Argentine 1 - 2 en demi-finale et a dû se contenter de concourir pour le bronze. L'Inde a perdu le match pour la médaille de bronze de peu contre la Grande-Bretagne 3 à 4 et a terminé quatrième. Marijne est largement reconnue pour le revirement de l'équipe indienne après des décennies de performances lamentables.

Le , après la défaite de l'Inde face à la Grande-Bretagne, Marijne a annoncé qu'il prendrait sa retraite en tant qu'entraîneur-chef de l'équipe féminine indienne pour passer plus de temps avec sa famille.

SLR30 Singles Subscription Series
LATEST SERIES NEWS, November 13 2019: Singles 7 & 8 in the series are out now: Failed Flowers and Lake Ruth. If you subscribe now we still have the Wildhoney and Smiles singles on color vinyl, as well as a last handful of the David Callahan singles on color vinyl too. You'll get the rest of the upcoming entries in the series on color vinyl -- and of course the Black Tambourine 7" at the end. The Rat Columns and Suncharms singles are sold out on color vinyl.
If you know much about the history of the label, you know that Slumberland began in 1989 as a 7" label and was always inspired by the ephemeral and often electric pleasures to be had from the perfect single. Featuring a concentrated taste of what an artist has to offer, the 7" was traditionally the format of choice for young bands just getting their feet under them, as well as for chart-bound efforts by established bands. Over the last 29 years Slumberland has released 126 7"s, and even though downloads and streaming and playlisting have stolen a lot of the "you heard it here first" thunder from the vinyl single, we think that there's still something pretty magical about the not-so-humble 7".
To help start the celebration of our 30th birthday and help folks reconnect with our favorite vinyl format, we are launching the SLR30 Singles Subscription Series, featuring 12 13 singles to be released over the next eighteen months, the final entry slated to appear right around Slumberland's birthday in December 2019. The goal is to work with a group of artists not traditionally associated with the label, to showcase bands' best material and, as always, to help get some of the finest music around out there in a tangible format.
The plan is to release a pair of singles every three months and to hit subscribers' mailboxes with something truly special. While the singles will be available to record shops, subscribers will get exclusive color vinyl pressings, fun goodies throughout the series, and finally a bonus Black Tambourine single at the conclusion of the subscription that will not be available elsewhere. All of the singles will be subject to one pressing only, in quantities we might reasonably call "very limited."
The first four pairs of singles have already shipped, featuring future classics from The Suncharms, Rat Columns, Dolly Dream (featuring Meg Remy from U.S. Girls and members of other crucial Toronto bands), and David Lance Callahan (from SLR fave bands The Wolfhounds and Moonshake), Wildhoney, Lake Ruth, Failed Flowers (featuring pals Anna Burch and Fred Thomas) and Smiles. Upcoming entries will include records from Flowers, Odd Hope, Neutrals and Pale Lights. Expect more surprises, loads of classic tunes and what we think will be a very fun ride. Do note that while we are planning as regular a shipping schedule as possible, vinyl production can be pretty unpredictable and delays might pop up at some point. Please be patient; we'll definitely make this a very cool series to be a part of.
And definitely stay tuned for more 30th birthday news coming soon!
The price for all 13 singles is $100 in the US, postage included.
Buy in US: $100
Because postage outside the US is so expensive, we're offering a few options to consolidate your order and save a LOT of postage. You can either get the singles two at a time on the normal release schedule, all at the end of the series (MUCH CHEAPER!), or split into two batches if you can't wait until the end to get them all. If you want to get multiple subscriptions (perhaps to split postage with a friend) we will do the math and refund you the extra postage. We know overseas postage costs are bonkers and want to do what we can to help!

Failed Flowers "Faces"
Failed Flowers Faces 7"
Formed in 2014 during a summer spent obsessing about Sarah Records, Michigan band Failed Flowers are a shadowy group, evoking elements of C86, indie, pop and shoegaze. The current line-up coalesced in 2015 around guitarist/singers Anna Burch and Fred Thomas, bassist Erin Davis and drummer Miles Haney. "Faces" is the first song Anna brought to the band, a wash of guitars and vocal harmonies that are somehow both quick and casual. "Broken Screen" was described as "The Strokes in a bar fight" seconds after the lead vocals were put to tape, and the song zips along nervously with just that energy. One half jumpy, self-conscious punk and one half Flying Nun-esque grey skies pop and all Failed Flowers. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

Lake Ruth "Extended Leave"
Lake Ruth Extended Leave 7"
Lake Ruth was formed in 2015 by multi-instrumentalist Hewson Chen of The New Lines, drummer Matt Schulz (Holy Fuck, Enon, SAVAK) and vocalist Allison Brice (The Eighteenth Day of May, The Silver Abduction). Inspired by 1960's sonic experimentation, baroque psychedelia, library obscurities, vintage pop noir, Giallo soundtracks, kraut and jazz, Lake Ruth creates intriguing and unique music rich with multilayered instrumentation, propulsive rhythms and atmospheric vocals. This double-A side single is their latest music and perhaps the sharpest, most incisive example of their deep, thought-provoking pop yet. Mysterious and melodic, both sides ably demonstrate why Lake Ruth are one of the most interesting bands out there today. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

Smiles "Gone For Good"
Smiles Gone For Good 7"
The Bay Area's Smiles are back with their second 7" and what a blast it is. Superbly-crafted pop is the order of the day here, with echoes of everything from prime Teenage Fanclub to Big Star to the southern power-pop of folks like Dwight Twilley and Tommy Hoehn. "Gone For Good" is 3:33 of pop perfection, with a marvelous melody, heavenly harmonies and a bit of a triumphant guitar solo sneaking in at the end. On the flip side we get another gem in "This Boy," a brief tune that still feels fully-formed, rather in the style of fellow West Bay songsmith Tony Molina. It's developing into quite the scene they have down there, and as long as the results are as thrilling as this single we can't wait to hear what's next. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

Wildhoney "Naive Castle"
Wildhoney Naive Castle 7"
Formerly based in Baltimore, Wildhoney have moved to the west coast and are now releasing their first new music in over two years. "Naive Castle" shows a new side to the band, dialing down some of the shoegaze haze in favor of gorgeous, chiming pop that recalls the finest from bands like The Sundays and The Cranberries. It's the perfect soundtrack to these melancholic days as summer turns to fall. On the b-side you'll find a dreamy, late-night cover of Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me" that brings a wasted weariness to this tale of teenage yearning. It's a beautiful, earnest take on a tune that turns out to be a perfect match for Wildhoney's swooning style. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

Dolly Dream "The Way To Heaven"
Dolly Dream The Way To Heaven 7"
Dolly Dream dwell in a cryptic space where love meets danger, and where enigmatic song can lead one to ecstasy or onto more ambiguous terrain. The dark and dreamy "The Way To Heaven" could be a lost classic from a sock hop in a David Lynch film. Featuring a stellar, heart-tugging vocal performance, the effect is rather like a ballad from a young Brenda Lee or Wanda Jackson. It's the song that made them fall in love. Says Dolly: "It's hard to make an honest love song. What's the most honest thing? Death. Lovers don't wanna think about Death. Yearning is the flip side of mourning. Yearning is the feeling of some future ghost. Dolly Dream is the sound of that ghost." This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

David Lance Callahan "Strange Lovers"
David Lance Callahan Strange Lovers 7"
Over the course of his 30+ year career, David Callahan has charted a distinct course. From the angular pop of The Wolfhounds to the experimental post/art rock of Moonshake and back to the sharper-than-ever recently reformed Wolfhounds, Callahan is always known for smart, unsparing lyrics, a fierce DIY ethic and an ever-inquisitive sonic adventurism. Now for Slumberland's SLR30 Singles Series Callahan is set to release his first official solo recordings. Minimally recorded at home with an acoustic guitar, sampler, glockenspiel and a couple of friends guesting on harmonies, the double A-side cuts of "Strange Lovers" and "Waiting For The Cut-Off" reveal a subtler, though still intense, side to his songwriting. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; while supplies last you can get a color vinyl version with a series subscription.

Rat Columns "Sometimes We're Friends"
Rat Columns Sometimes We're Friends 7"
Rat Columns, the ever changing musical project of David West and friends, emerged from the desert outpost of Perth, Western Australia in the late 2000s, influenced by largely anglocentric forms such as post-punk and jangle pop and emitting a steady stream of 7"s, EPs and three full length albums along the way. The songs included on this EP were recorded at the same time as their 2017 album Candle Power in Guildford, Western Australia, in a back shed studio on a rambling riverside property. Well-crafted, literate pop in the best tradition of 3rd album Velvet Underground, the Postcard label, early Creation label and The Go-Betweens. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; more info and subscription links on the SLR30 Singles Series info page.
The Suncharms "Red Dust"
The Suncharms Red Dust 7"
Sheffield's The Suncharms formed in 1989 out of an indie scene that was just expanding from straight indiepop into territory that would soon be known as shoegaze. Two EPs were released in 1991 on the Wilde Club label; the Slumberland Records crew LOVED those two EPs -- they had all the guitar overload we craved, but wrapped around some unusually crafty pop tunes. Less ethereal or abstract than a lot of shoegaze, accurate reference points might include early Ride or The Boo Radleys. We first approached the band about the possibility of releasing something way back in 1992, but the band broke up soon thereafter and it's taken 25 years and a timely band reformation to finally make this single happen. And it's an absolute corker - melodic and psychedelic, 'gazey but tough and not at all gauzy. This single is part of the SLR30 Singles Series; more info and subscription links on the SLR30 Singles Series info page.

Public institutions must act independently of political wills of personalities in the leadership of the country, the director of international programs in Gorshenin Institute Dmytro Ostroushko said during his report in Stockholm.
Ostroushko noted that although over the past two and a half years Ukraine saw many positive changes, the changes were often thanks to pressure from civil society and contrary to the inert resistance of the country's political establishment.
"Ukraine has not reached a level of development where government institutions work as a well-coordinated mechanism, the elements of which operate independently from the influence of personalities. It is the formation of such a system in which institutions would operate independently of the personalities in the leadership, their political will would mean passing the point of no return in the design of a mature state. An active civil society, which we see today in Ukraine is undoubtedly a cause for joy. However, the necessary condition for the normal development of the state is also the natural functioning of institutions," says the expert.
The expert noted that Ukraine is now following the path that many other countries have passed. "Dire economic situation, dissatisfaction of the society about the lack of tangible positive change, growth rates, etc. give fuel to negative sentiment, up to the rejection of reforms and up to a swing in electoral preferences in favour of populists, perhaps even revenge-seekers. On the other hand, all the countries where the reforms were carried out have passed this stage and every so often revanchist forces would come to power in such countries. The important thing, however, is that the process of reforms by that time would become irreversible as reforms began to work and bear fruit. Revenge-seekers in power found themselves electorally replaced by progressively minded politicians, which leaves no space for backlash. Today, we cannot say for sure whether Ukraine has passed the point of no return," Ostroushko believes.
The workshop Prospects of Ukraine that discussed the issues of domestic and foreign policy, reforms, security, civil society, media and human rights in Ukraine, took place in Stockholm. It was organized by ABF Stockholm education centre, the Swedish OSCE Network and the Swedish Society for Research in Eastern Europe. The director of international programs of Gorshenin Institute Dmytro Ostroushko along with Henrik Hallgren, a Swedish researcher, former Swedish Ambassador to Ukraine Andreas von Bekerat, and civil society activists and human rights activist Oleksandra Matviychuk took part in the event.
