Agencies Publish Final Rules and Guidelines to Promote Accurate Reports About Consumers
WASHINGTON — The federal financial regulatory agencies and the Federal Trade Commission yesterday published final rules and guidelines to promote the accuracy and integrity of information furnished to credit bureaus and other consumer reporting agencies, and widely used to determine consumers' eligibility for credit, employment, insurance, and rental housing.
As required by the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Trade Commission, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Office of Thrift Supervision are publishing these final rules and guidelines, with an effective date of July 1, 2010.
Under the rules, entities that furnish information about consumers to consumer reporting agencies generally must include a consumer's credit limit in the information provided. The federal agencies are also publishing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) to identify possible additions to the information that furnishers must provide to consumer reporting agencies, such as the account opening date.
Also, under the rules, if a consumer believes his or her credit report includes inaccurate information, the consumer may submit a dispute directly to the entity that provided the information to the consumer reporting agency, and that entity must investigate the dispute. The rules do not change a consumer's ability to submit a dispute to a consumer reporting agency or a furnisher's duty to investigate a dispute referred by a reporting agency.
The attached final rules and guidelines, and the ANPR, were published yesterday in the Federal Register.

Алше, Алзи (хуррит. Алже; хет. Алше; аккад. Алзи; урарт. Алзи(ни), Азира(ни)) — хурритско-лувийское государство на Армянском нагорье. Алше находилось в верховьях реки Тигр и далее на восток, в долине р. Арацани (Мурат-су). Впоследствии здесь располагалась античная историческая область Арзанена (армян. Алдзник (Агдзник)) Великой Армении. Теперь эта территория, примерно совпадает с современным турецким илом Элязыг. История Алзи известна из хеттских, ассирийских и урартских источников.

История
В кон. III — нач. II тыс. до н. э. на Армянском нагорье существовал ряд независимых хурритских и лувийских государств (по терминологии аккадцев — «шубарейских»), среди которых было и царство Алзи (Алше). В XVII в. до н. э. Алзи, видимо, стало вассалом могущественного Хеттского царства. В начале XVI в. до н. э. Алзи, наряду с царством Кумми стало основой Митаннийской державы. Однако в XIV в. до н. э., в процессе упадка Митанни, Алзи участвовало в дележе митаннийского наследства наряду с Ассирией. Алзи добилось определенных внешнеполитических успехов: по-видимому, Алзи достались области нижней части долины верхнего Евфрата и предгорья Армянского Тавра по левому берегу Тигра. Однако в борьбе с хеттами Алзи было вынуждено признать вместе с Митанни зависимость от  Суппилулиумаса I (ок. 1380—1334). Затем, с упадком могущества хеттов, Алзи стало самостоятельным.

Немного позднее, в XIII в. до н. э., царство Алзи подпало под власть Ассирии. Начало этому было положено когда Алзи, среди других побежденных шубарейских государств нагорья, стало вассалом ассирийского царя Салманасара I (ок. 1274—1244). Затем шубарейские страны, соединившись, восстали против Ассирии и прекратили уплату дани. Об этом, о новых победах над шубарейцами, и о наложении на них снова дани сообщается в надписях его сына царя Тукульти-Нинурты I (ок. 1244—1207).

В царской надписи Tn Тукульти-Нинурты I, в частности, говорится: «Вся страна Шубари, все пространство гор Кашияри, вплоть до страны Алзи, которые раньше, в правление Шульмануашареда, царя вселенной, моего отца, взбунтовались и прекратили (уплату) дани, соединились друг с другом. Я взмолился к богу Ашшуру и великим богам, господам моим, и двинулся на горы Кашияри. (Словно) в круг я заключил страну Шубари, страну Алзи и их союзных царей. <...> Я завоевал четыре мощные столицы Эхлитешшуба, царя страны Алзи, (и) шесть крепостей страны Амадани. Пленных и имущество вывез я оттуда, привез в мой город Ашшур. Эхлитешшуб, царь страны Алзи, из-за сильного страха передо мной, бросился и, вместе со своими придворными и сыновьями кинул всю свою страну, убежал тайно на (самую) границу Наири, в край неведомый. Остаток их войска, что бежал в разгар боя, устрашившись свирепости моего побоища, устремился в крутые горы, чтобы спасти свою жизнь. 180 их крепостей я разрушил, опустошил, сжег, обратил в холмы и развалины. (Все) пределы стран Алзи, Амадани, Нихани, Алайа, Тепурзи и Пурулимзи я присоединил к моей стране. Я взял у них заложников, покорил (их) себе под ноги и наложил на них дань» (См.: История Древнего Востока: Тексты и док.: Учеб. пособие для студентов вузов... / Под ред. В.И. Кузищина. — М.: Высш. шк., 2002. — С. 249).

После ослабления Ассирии, примерно до 1220—1200 гг. до н. э., Алзи (Алше) было вновь вассалом Хеттской державы. Но около 1165 г. до н. э., племена мушков (фрако-фригийские племена), разгромившие до этого хеттов, перешли Евфрат и, углубившись в долину р. Арацани, заняли страны Алзи и Пурукуззи.

Позднее, в IX - VIII веках до н. э., Алзи входило в состав стран Наири, среди которых постепенно возвысилось Урарту. Постепенно Урарту подчинилось и Алзи. В это же время известны и ассирийские походы на нагорье Наири. Так Ададнерари II четырежды ходил на страны Наири, в том числе и на Алзи. Поскольку через Алзи пролегал важный стратегических путь через горы именно этот проход использовал Салманасар III (859—824) в 856 году в его кампании против Урарту. Окончательно Алзи (Алзини), видимо, было завоевано урартским царем Менуа (ок. 810—786). Об этом упомянуто в его надписи, составленной примерно после 799 г. до н. э. (УКН 28. С. 151). Известно также, что во время правления ассирийского царя Саргона II (722—705) Алзи управлял урартский чиновник по имени Сиплиа.

Современные историки предполагают, что начало армянской государственности уходят в глубь истории - не только в эпоху падения Урарту и Ассирии, но и ранее. В качестве одного из очагов армянской государственности можно рассматривать и хурритско-лувийское-мушкское царство Алзи, существовавшее в XII—VIII вв. до н. э. На окружавшей его территории Армянского нагорья в конце II тыс. до н. э. — VI в. до н. э., в хурритских, урартских, лувийских и мушкских государствах, проходили сложные процессы этногенеза взаимодействия различных племен и народов. Впоследствии эти различные этнические группы влились в состав собственно армян.

Страна Арме (Армэ) возглавила территориальный союз, в который входило и какое-то региональное «царство» мушков, «страны» Ишува, Шуприа, Алше, Пурулумзи и ряд других. Этому союзу удалось объединить некоторые мелкие страны и народы Армянского нагорья в одну политическую единицу. Предположительно, союз, возглавляемый страной Армэ, в период ослабления Урарту получил возможность перехватить его политическое наследие. Слияние различных народов, арминов и мушков (первоначально в территориальном союзе, на юге Урарту), было важным фактором, приведшем к созданию на хурритско-урартском субстрате господствующего индоевропейского языка - будущего армянского.

Цари Алзи
Известны немногие имена царей Алзи (Алше, Алзии/Хурри; кон. III тыс. до н. э. — 739 г. до н. э.):
 Андаратлис (Андарадле) (вассал царя хеттов Суппилулиумы I);
 Эхли-Тешшуб (побежден ассирийским царем Тукульти-Нинуртой I).

For those who wish to understand, study and explore the conditions that build, promote and sustain healthy and ethical organisational cultures.
This symposium is for those who wish to understand, study and explore the systemic conditions that build, promote and sustain healthy and ethical organisational cultures. In so doing, the symposium also hopes to address the socioanalytic or system psychodynamic bases of corrupt and unethical practices; indicators of problematic practices; the emergence of whistleblowing and the factors that guard against corruption of organisational purpose and task in order to promote a healthy and ethical organisational culture.
As we have recently been discovering, many of our primary institutions of business, banking, religion, health services and the media have succumbed to profit-and-power-first cultural dynamics amidst a kind of selective blindness about what is occurring by those in senior roles. Hence, the increasing number of situations where whistle-blowers emerge and the growing number of Royal Commissions that are established to investigate corrupt practices. We are mindful of the cover-ups and denials that are acted out, and the shame that is experienced by organisation members – often those with little power but who are caught firmly in the culture of the organisation and whose roles are coloured by it.
But not all organisations within these broad institutions are subject to such dynamics. For many, prosperity lies in designing and trading excellent products and services. It lies in providing jobs for a satisfied workforce and customers. It lies in providing outcomes for the community such as products, utilities, good governance, health and education. Such organisations are able to go about their primary business and tasks without the slide into bad practices.
So, what are the conditions that build, promote and sustain healthy and ethical organisational cultures? The symposium will provide a space for examining this question.
What constitutes a healthy organisational culture?
What constitutes an ethical organisational culture?
What are the practices and governance that build and sustain a healthy and ethical organisational culture? What are the dynamics involved?
How do unhealthy or unethical practices emerge? What are the systemic psychodynamic factors involved?
What leads to whistleblowing and how can organisations respond?
Can organisations become too greedy?
How can we prevent the slide into corrupt or perverse cultures?
How might the corruption of power impact organisational culture?
How to move from selective blindness to informed action.
Closing date for abstracts is 30 May 2019.

Qualification Level: WJEC Level 3 Applied Certificate & Diploma in Criminology
Qualification Duration: 2 years
Exam Board: WJEC
Intro: Criminology is the scientific study of the nature, extent, management, causes, control, consequences, and prevention of criminal behaviour, both on individual and social levels. Criminology is an area of sociology that focuses on that study of crimes and their causes, effects, and social impact. A criminologist's job responsibilities involve analysing data to determine why the crime was committed and to find ways to predict, deter, and prevent further criminal behaviour. The qualification is designed to support learners' progression to university and can work alongside a range of A-level options.
Course content (Download Learning Journey here)
Changing Awareness of Crime
Knowing about the wide range of different crimes and the reasons people have for not reporting such crimes will provide an understanding of the complexity of behaviours and the social implications of such crimes and criminality.
Criminology Theories
Knowing about the different types of crime and the criminological approaches to theory will give you a sharper insight into the kind of thinking used by experts and politicians to explain crime and criminality. Public law makers are informed by theory and apply these theories to their own solutions to the problem of crime. By undertaking this unit, you will learn to support, challenge and evaluate expert opinion and be able to support your ideas with reliable and factual evidence
Crime Scene to Courtroom
The criminal trial process involves many different people and agencies. Learning about the roles of these will give you a clearer insight into what happens once a crime is detected and the process that leads to either a guilty or non-guilty verdict. There are strict rules as to how evidence is collected from a crime scene and also strict rules governing the giving of evidence in court; learning about these rules will allow you to review the trial process and assess whether the aims of the criminal justice system have been met. You may be familiar with the role of the jury in the Crown Court, but you may not be aware of the many different factors that influence jury decision-making. By undertaking this unit, you will be able to assess the use of lay people in determining the fate of a suspect and evaluate the criminal trial process from crime scene to courtroom.
Through this unit, you will learn about the criminal justice system in England and Wales and how it operates to achieve social control. You will have gained an understanding of the organisations which are part of our system of social control and their effectiveness in achieving their objectives. As such, you will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the process of social control in delivering policy in different contexts.
Assessment comprises of two internally assessed units (unit 1 and unit 3) and two externally examined units (unit 2 and unit 4).
Trips and other costs:
Career and further study:
An understanding of criminology is relevant to many job roles within the criminal justice sector, social and probation work and sociology and psychology.

The final brutality in Russia's war against Crimean Tatars in occupied Crimea
Aliye Mesutova died in the early hours of 27 October 2020, a year and a half after her son, Ruslan, was arrested on the monstrously fabricated charges that have become a standard weapon of Russia's persecution of Crimean Muslims She had scarcely seen her son since his arrest, with permission for a visit in May this year, organized with the help of Mesutov's lawyer, arriving on the day that Mesutov was taken to Rostov-on-Don in Russia for the so-called 'trial'. A computer had been set up in her room, so that the elderly lady could at least follow details about her son's persecution and the political trials of other Crimean Tatars reported by the vital Crimean Solidarity initiative. She recently recounted to Mumine Saliyeva, human rights defender and wife of prisoner of conscience Seiran Saliyev, how she had received a call from Ukraine's Consul in Rostov-on-Don, Taras Malyshevsky. "He told me that I have a wonderful son and said so many good things about him. He'd visited him in the SIZO, and says that the issue of Crimea and political prisoners is raised on all international platforms."
Her funeral on 28 October will be the second this week where a son is not allowed to carry out his duty and accompany his mother on her final journey. On 26 October Asiye Ablyamitova died two months after her son, Medzhit Ablyamitov was arrested. The young man had returned to occupied Crimea from mainland Ukraine to care for his mother during her treatment for cancer, and was then prevented from being with her at the end. An end which was very likely precipitated by the terrible stress that she endured without her son and knowing that he was facing a 15-year sentence on politically-motivated charges. In 2017, following public protest far beyond Ukraine, the Russian occupiers 'gave' imprisoned Crimean Tatar Mejlis leader Akhtem Chiygoz just ten minutes to bid farewell to his dying mother. They refused to let him attend her funeral. In all other cases, political prisoners have been prevented from seeing dying parents or from being at their funerals, and in perhaps the most brutal of cases, Ruslan Suleymanov was not allowed to attend the funeral of his three-year-old son, Musa.
It should be stressed that there is absolutely no good reason for such brutality. Not one of men was or is accused of any recognizable crime, and there is no justification at all for their detention or the monstrous sentences that some are already serving.
55-year-old Ruslan Mesutov is one of four Crimean Tatars from Alushta in the Yalta region of occupied Crimea whom the renowned Memorial Human Rights Centre recognized as political prisoners in September 2020. It condemned Russia's persecution of Mesutov; Lenur Khalilov; Ruslan Nagayev and Eldar Kantimirov and pointed out that the men are charged under Russia's terrorism articles, without actually being accused of terrorism and are imprisoned for the "non-violent exercising of their right to freedom of conscience, religion and association".
The men were arrested as part of a series of nine armed searches and arrests on 10 June 2019 in three different parts of Crimea. They are indeed charged under terrorist legislation, without any terrorism or in fact without being charged with any internationally recognized crime at all. Russia has developed a conveyor belt of repression in which these men, like other Crimean Muslims, are accused solely of unproven 'involvement' in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a peaceful transnational movement which is legal in Ukraine. Russia has never explained why, in 2003, it declared a movement that is not known to have committed acts of terrorism or violence anywhere in the world 'terrorist'. In this case, Lenur Khalilov and Ruslan Mesutov are charged with the more serious 'organizer' role under Article 205.5 § 1 of Russia's criminal code, with this carrying a likely sentence of 19-20 years. Eldar Kantimirov and Ruslan Nagayev are accused of 'involvement in such an alleged 'group' (Article 205.5 § 2), with the sentences also between 10 and 20 years. They are also charged, under Article 278, with 'planning to violently seize power'. This additional charge is believed by Memorial HRC to be generally used against people who refuse to 'cooperate' with the investigators (which all Crimeans in these cases have refused to do).
The entire 'case' against them appears to be based on illicit tapes of conversations which FSB-loyal 'experts' assess as required. In its statement, Memorial pointed out that "the Crimean Muslims are guilty only of being participants in religious organizations" and their persecution is in breach of Russia's Constitution which guarantees freedom of conscience. The men also supported other political prisoners and their families and Memorial notes that "the convenient and customary accusation of involvement in Hizb ut-Tahrir has become a weapon for crushing solidarity movements in Crimea".
This case is particularly shocking in that it has targeted the leader (Khalilov) and Mesutov, a member, of the independent 'Alushta' religious community, which has been subjected to a systematic offensive under Russian occupation. The religious community has long been in conflict with the Muftiat, which, under Mufti Emirali Ablayev, chose to collaborate with the Russian occupation regime. The conflict is both because the Alushta community was viewed as too independent, and because the Muftiat wanted control of the Yukhany-Dzhami Mosque, which has legally been in the hands of the community since 1994. In 2017, the occupation regime revoked the community's ownership with Russian-controlled or Russian courts, right up to the Supreme Court upholding this illegal ruling.
Another victim of this appalling attack is Muslim Aliev, a recognized political prisoner and Amnesty International prisoner of conscience, who is now serving a horrific 19-year-sentence.
The Russian occupation regime has also brought prosecutions against the acting head of 'Alushta', Ruslan Emirvaliev over a post in social media, and against the Imam of the Mosque, Yusuf Ashirov, for what is claimed to be 'unlawful missionary activities', namely holding prayers in his own mosque.
PLEASE WRITE TO ALL OF THE MEN!
The letters tell them they are not forgotten, and show Moscow that the 'trial' now underway is being followed.
Letters need to be in Russian, and on 'safe' subjects. If that is a problem, use the sample letter below (copying it by hand), perhaps adding a picture or photo. Do add a return address so that the men can answer.
NO sample letter of condolences. Such letters are enormously difficult to write even in your own language, and letters are, in any case, taking a long time to get to political prisoners because of the pandemic.
The address is below and can be written in either Russian or in English transcription. The particular addressee's name and year of birth need to be given.
Желаю Вам здоровья, мужества и терпения, надеюсь на скорое освобождение. Простите, что мало пишу – мне трудно писать по-русски, но мы все о Вас помним.
[Hi. I wish you good health, courage and patience and hope that you will soon be released. I'm sorry that this letter is short – it's hard for me to write in Russian., but you are not forgotten. ]

Another from Chávez
Posted in Europe, European Union, South America, USA on May 15, 2006| 1 Comment »
From Iranmania:
Visiting Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in case of a military attack against Iran, no country in the world would have access to crude oil, according to IRNA.
Chavez made the remark at a press conference, adding, "As Iran's President Ahmadinejad has reiterated, if Tehran would come under attack, oil would get scarce for everyone."
He also said that the US President George W. Bush should be put to trial at the international court of justice for having launched genocide in Iraq.
The Venezuelan President added, "For all the horror it has created around the globe in the course of the past century, the United States' war machine should be dismantled, since under the current conditions it is a threat against the entire mankind, particularly against our children."
HT: Noisy Room.Net.
UPDATE: I posted yesterday that Chávez was not going to meet Blair. If you read the BBC's news, I posted upon it was Chávez who did not like to meet Blair. looks like it's the other way round (HT DOCE DOCE, in Spanish).
UPDATE 2: E-nough quotes Chávez saying:
Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez said at the Vienna "social forum" that he, Evo Morales, and Fidel Castro "would continue being the bad boys of the empire, the axis of evil."
Do you know who where there?
Among those president were Spanish communist leaders Gaspar Llamazares and Paco Frutos.

More about Spain-Bolivia crisis
Posted in Europe, European Union, South America on May 15, 2006| 1 Comment »
Spain Herald:
Spanish prime minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and Bolivian president Evo Morales met on Friday for about 45 minutes in Vienna at the EU-Latin American summit there. Zapatero said the meeting had been "positive, sincere, and clarifying," but did not mention any advantage over the agreement previously negotiated by a Spanish delegation in La Paz.
He did announce that Morales had sent an official letter praising Spain's cooperation, in contradiction of the harsh accusations Morales had launched last Thursday. Morales's letter said that he had never accused Spain of not fulfilling its commitments to Bolivia, but instead expressed hope that aid to development and debt forgiveness "would soon be a reality." Meanwhile, PP leader Mariano Rajoy demanded that Zapatero defend Spanish interests in Bolivia and that Morales obey the law and international agreements.
And so he is putting into effect the cooperation: Spain Herald
Bolivian president Evo Morales said yesterday that his nationalization of Bolivian fossil fuel resources "does not expel or expropriate anyone," to the applause of the Euro-MPs. Meanwhile, the Bolivian government announced that Spanish bank BBVA must turn over the shares in Andina, Repsol's Bolivian subsidiary, that it manages through a pension fund, within three days.
"These pension funds will be closed down in three days if they do not obey the decree. That's it," said Bolivian vice president Alvaro García Linera, who signed a further decree allowing Bolivia to "take absolute control" over the fuels industry.
BBVA and Zurich Financial Service have managed two Bolivian pension funds since 1997. They were created with the government's shares resulting from the partial privatization of Bolivian state companies in strategic sectors carried out during the 1990s, which attracted a great number of foreign investors.
Just a few minutes previously, Morales told the European Parliament, "Any company that invests in my country has the right to recover its investment and make a profit, but not to have control. They will be partners, not the owners of our natural resources." He added, "Without social security, there can be no legal security."
EL MUNDO reports:
they will have to hand to Bolivian state the shares they are managinig in the oil companies Andina (48%), which belongs to Spanish-Argentinian Repsol YPF; Transredes (34%), from the US Enron and the Dutch Shell, and Chaco (48%), from British Petroleum. These companies were created with the division of the State Company Bolivian Fiscal Oil fields (or Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos), which will recover control over them. They represent (approx.) 700 of the $1,600 million which this fund has.

ETA: We won't back down despite Zapatero's claims (UPDATED)
Posted in Europe, terrorism, violence on May 15, 2006| Leave a Comment »
The Spain Herald
Two masked ETA members, interviewed by the pro-ETA newspaper Gara, confirmed on Sunday that its extortion letters sent to Navarrese businesses were mailed out after its declaration of an "indefinite cease-fire," contradicting prime minister Zapatero's claim that the letters had been mailed before the declaration. The terrorists said, "There are economic needs in order to carry on the struggle, and today the struggle for liberation continues, causing these needs, including economic ones." The etarras stressed that the truce is conditional, depending on whether the Zapatero administration accepts ETA's political price, self-determination and the annexation of Navarre. The two showed no sign of the "flexibility" and "correct path" that the administration had attributed to ETA. According to the terrorists, ETA has already done its part to promote the peace process by declaring the cease-fire, and they insinuated that further steps would be taken if the administration made its commitments specific.
So really there are no truce: they are only trying to impose themselves on all the other Spanish people. And Zapatero has lied… again.
EL MUNDO (in Spanish) adds –this is new– that "France says this is an Spanish issue. They are lying: this is also a French issue ". Otegi also paid homage to the ETA prisoners dead in the French prisons. But the French press has not published anything about this issue. The site of the French Government does not say anything either.
But there are also good news: Alcaraz reelected president of AVT – The Spain Herald
Francisco Jose Alcaraz was reelected president of the Association of Victims of Terrorism on Saturday by 601 votes in favor to 43 against. There were nine abstentions. Opposing candidate Pablo Broseta pulled out of the race after the AVT's assembly approved the association's budget. The PP praised Alcaraz's reelection because "the victims want to be in the center of the process to put an end to terror."
Alcaraz said at a press conference, "The results make it very clear that the previous board of directors was supported by the majority of the members." He added that some members had asked him to continue working in favor of psychological aid for the victims of the March 11, 2004 bombings in Madrid. Alcaraz promised that the new board of directors would "fight for memory, dignity, and justice toward the victims of terrorism."
UPDATE: VIA Pajamas Media, I read Barcepundit has written about this topic.

Mexico's giant crystal cave is located 290 meters underground. The cave is full of spectacular glowing giant stone pillars, 4 feet in diameter and 50 feet in length. The giant gypsum crystals in Mexico crystal cave have been growing at an extremely slow rate for hundreds of thousands of years. The high temperature water containing mineral components crystallizes due to gypsum saturation during cooling. The temperature inside the crystal cave is very high and there are hot springs around it. According to research, about five kilometers from the crystal cave is the hot lava. It is the unique conditions in the Naika region that make these giant crystals, and the possibility of finding crystal-like holes in other parts of the globe is extremely low.
This huge crystal cave is buried 1,000 feet below the Naga Mountains in the Chihuahua Desert. In 2000, two miners discovered this strange cave when they dug an underground tunnel, which contained many huge crystal columns. This cave contains many of the world's largest natural crystals. These translucent giant crystals are 11 meters long and weigh 55 tons. Garcia Ruiz of the University of Granada, Spain, said: "This is a natural wonder!" Of course, there are other underwater caves in Mexico you can explore. If you want to go on a underwater cave diving, those open underwater caves in Mexico can meet your curiosity.


The guideline is done, though in retrospect I'm not entirely sure it was necessary. I've discovered that I have to cut the entire 16' roll of stabilizer into sections -- it's the only way to get the motifs to follow the curve. Annoying, but worth it for the overall look of the piece. Also, I can number them and only pin down a few at a time, if I so desire. I'm cutting and pinning the first half of the cloak in its entirety, so I have a grasp on the scope of all this, and so I have it all ready for AC. The fun never ends.
ETA: I got every thing laid out and pinned, but putting the pieces in the hoop is proving interesting, because I can't pull on the stuff to tighten it -- it tears (go figure). I'll work with it; it doesn't have to be perfect. In fact, it may look better if it's not. Not going to stitch right now, though; it's past time for bed.

The Uganda People's Defence Force said Caesar Achellam, a major general in LRA leader Kony's outfit of about 200 fighters, had been captured in an ambush on Saturday along the banks of the River Mbou in neighbouring Central African Republic (CAR).
The army, which has a force hunting for Kony full time in the jungles of the Central African Republic, backed by American troops, said the capture of Achellam would encourage other fighters to abandon the LRA.
"The arrest of Major General Caesar Achellam is big progress because he is a big fish. His capture is definitely going to cause an opinion shift within LRA," said UPDF spokesperson, Felix Kulaigye.
A Reuters reporter who accompanied UPDF forces to the CAR said Achellam, who was paraded before media, was walking with a limp, which he attributed to an old wound.
He was returning from the Democratic Republic of Congo when he walked into the Ugandan soldiers' ambush.
UPDF said it had been on his trail for a month.
Kony, a self-styled mystic leader who at one time wanted to rule Uganda according to the biblical Ten Commandments, fled northern Uganda in 2005, roaming first the lawless expanses of South Sudan, then the isolated northeastern tip of Congo.
In December 2008, Uganda launched Operation Lightning Thunder, dispersing the rebels and pushing them north into the CAR.
Analysts said Achellam was a close ally of Kony who had masterminded the group's relocation from northern Uganda.

Q: Sorting an UnsortedGrouping does not work - No enclosing instance of type MyClass is accessible I am trying to group a DataSet by a parameter, then sort the result by applying a sortGroup function. Finally I want to apply a reduceGroup function to obtain a transformed DataSet.
DataSet<SlicedTile> slicedTilesSorted = stitchedTimeSlices.flatMap(new sliceDetailedBlocks(detailedBlockSize, blockSize))
    .groupBy(new KeySelector<SlicedTile, Tuple2<Integer, Integer>>() {
        public Tuple2<Integer, Integer> getKey(SlicedTile s) {
            return s.getPositionInTile();
        }
    })
    .sortGroup(new SlicedTileTimeKeySelector<SlicedTile>(), Order.ASCENDING)
    .reduceGroup(new approxInvalidValues());

But Eclipse shows an error at the sortGroup line which states:

No enclosing instance of type MyClass is accessible. Must
  qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type
  MyClass (e.g. x.new A() where x is an instance of
  MyClass).

Could anybody please tell me what I am doing wrong and how to fix this?

Q: There is no object in this control At work, we often create access applications to perform imports from certain files to the database.
We always create those mde files in access 2003.
Normally, people who run these applications have a full office (with access) installed and are able to run the .mde files.
For a new application we have a user that has an office 2010 installed, without access.
So we installed an access runtime version on their PC's so they would be able to open and use our mde file. Although we keep getting the "there is no object in this control" when we open the .mde file with the access RT version.
Anyone has an idea what is causing this issue ?
Kind regards,

A: When you build a runtime package you have to make sure all dll and other references are included so they get installed on the users machine.  I would guess you are missing one of them.  Do you know where to view references?  If not make sure to open the VBE and look under tools/references.  Remove any that aren't used.  Then make sure any that are used are in your runtime package.

A: We fixed it by removing a Progress bar from the application. The libraries were not included in the runtime version neither by default in Windows. After removing it, the application ran perfectly fine on the RT editions of Access.

Two early goals gave Chesterfield the initiative as they won the battle of League One strugglers against Crewe.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's shot hit both posts before going in, then Lee Novak doubled the home lead on 12 minutes, side-footing in from six yards.
Callum Saunders went close before Zoumana Bakayogo replied for Crewe, scoring from Brad Inman's cut-back.
Connor Dimaio sealed Chesterfield's win just before the hour following a neat one-two with Ebanks-Blake.
Chesterfield's first victory in six games lifts them to 19th in the table, one point clear of the relegation zone and six above second-from-bottom Crewe, who suffered a first defeat in seven games.
"Now we have to go again. We have been on a great little run. We'd have liked to have won one or two of them along the way but it has shown what we are capable of.
"We played some terrific football at times and had enough chances to have got something. I thought the better team lost.
"What we didn't do well was defend. We gave them gifts for the goals and those individual errors have proved costly. The full-back slipped for the first. then we didn't pick up at the far post properly and, for the third one, we didn't track the runner."
Match ends, Chesterfield 3, Crewe Alexandra 1.

Fort Hood Shooter Was On Psychiatric Drugs & Was Denied Leave On Day Of Attack
6th April 2014 alternativefreepress
The man at Fort Hood who killed three and wounded 16 of his fellow soldiers last week had requested leave shortly before the shooting rampage.
After a meeting where he had requested a leave to attend to personal matters, he was clearly agitated and disrespectful when his request was denied, reports the New York Times:
Fort Hood officials and a spokesman for Army investigators declined to comment on Friday about the meeting and its role in the shooting, but they confirmed in an afternoon news conference that the specialist,[] became angry with soldiers from his unit before the attack. Two of those he killed were in his unit, a transportation battalion of the 13th Sustainment Command. Officials stressed that they had still not established a clear motive.
But in an interview with a local Mississippi television station, Theodis Westbrook, of Smithdale, Miss., the father of Sgt. Jonathan Westbrook, who was wounded in the attack, said he was told that a soldier came to Fort Hood's personnel office, where Sergeant Westbrook worked, to get a leave form. When one of the soldiers told the man to come back the next day to pick that form up, the man left, then returned with a gun and opened fire.
Lt. Gen. Mark A. Milley has acknowledged that the attacker was taking psychiatric medication before the shooting. Infowars reports:
"Was he on any sort of medications….SSRI's, anti-depressants, anything of that nature," an Infowars reporter asked Milley, to which the General responded, "He was on medications that's correct."
In a subsequent report, officials also admitted that Lopez had been prescribed Ambien, a sleeping pill associated with accidents and aggressive outbursts.
As the website ,SSRI Stories profusely documents, there are literally hundreds of examples of mass shootings, murders and other violent episodes that have been committed by individuals on psychiatric drugs over the past three decades. The number of cases is staggering, but the media has completely failed to generate a national conversation about the issue due to its obsession with exploiting mass shootings to demonize the second amendment.
A $65 million study produced three research papers which were published by The Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry. The study found that suicide rates for soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan more than doubled from 2004 to 2009 to more than 30-per-100,000, the trend among those who never deployed nearly tripled to between 25- and 30-per-100,000. USA Today reports:
Suicide rates soared among soldiers who went to war in Iraq and Afghanistan and those who never left the United States, according to the largest study ever conducted on suicide in the military.
The research tracked soldier records through the end of 2009. But suicides in the Army continued to rise thereafter, reaching a record high in 2012 before dipping last year.

The design may be a luxury for the inhabitants but for me it is essential because it beautifully illustrates what a home can be: sheltering cave as welcoming entry and foundation; tea house as flight of fancy, an imagination set free. And yet contradictions abound — as they do in many homes. For what is a tea house but a space for ritualized ceremony — so here is ritual lifting away and loosening up — literally. And the cave is not dark and carved from stone but open and full of light, like a breezeway. Not to mention the burnt exterior protected from decay. Architecture can tell a story by turning some ideas upside down and making them hard to forget. Louis Kahn once said we didn't need Beethoven's Fifth Symphony until we heard it; well it's the same with great houses. Maybe architecture is the luxury we didn't know we needed.

Photo credit: American Queen Voyages
American Queen Voyages is going big — really big — with its latest offering.
Its American Countess riverboat will be used for a 23-day journey on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers, taking guests from just outside the Twin Cities in Minnesota to Pittsburgh. A reverse trip is also available.
The 1,772-mile journey will take place July 24, 2023, aboard the 417-passenger paddlewheel. The reverse trip, leaving from Pittsburgh, will set sail on Aug. 14, 2023.
"Guests have made the 16-day Mighty Mississippi voyage between Minneapolis and New Orleans one of our most popular itineraries, and we are pleased to reveal an even more immersive itinerary sailing to Pittsburgh that now incorporates the Mississippi and Ohio rivers," Isis Ruiz, chief commercial officer of American Queen Voyages, said in a release. "Pittsburgh has such a rich riverboat and sports history."
The sailings, the longest in the company's history, will take passengers through 10 states along the two rivers.
Starting in Red Wing, Minnesota, the itinerary includes stops in:
Wisconsin: La Crosse
Iowa: Dubuque, Bettendorf, and Burlington
Missouri: Hannibal, St. Louis, Kimmswick, and Cape Girardeau
Kentucky: Paducah, Henderson, Owensboro, Brandenburg, Louisville, and Maysville
Indiana: Madison
Ohio: Cincinnati and Marietta
West Virginia: Point Pleasant
Pennsylvania: Pittsburgh
There will be numerous shore excursions available during the trip, some included and some premium. Among the highlights:
A trip to the Field of Dreams location in Dyersville, Iowa, during the stop in nearby Dubuque.
The National Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky, which features more than 600 pieces of art highlighting modern quilting.
Trail of Tears State Park, with guests visiting the 3,415-acre park outside of Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
The Mark Payton Glass Center in Louisville, where guests will learn all about the art of glass blowing, watch artists in action, and view some spectacular designs.
Gateway Arch in St. Louis, where visitors can scale one of the most iconic landmarks in the country, and visit the neighboring Old Courthouse.
Anheuser Museum and Estate in Kimmswick, Missouri, where guests can tour the 1867 home and view the family library and heirlooms.
Western Kentucky Botanical Gardens, which is much more than the famous rose gardens. Guests will also view koi ponds, wind sculptures, woven baskets, and more.
Madison Scenic Jet Boat, where guests can hop aboard a Coast Guard-approved jet boat in Madison, Indiana, and explore the river in a manner very few are able to do.
Although much smaller than a traditional cruise boat, the American Countess offers many of the same perks guests would find on the big ships.
It includes a grand dining room, grand lobby, theater, fitness center, self-service coffee and snacks, an excursion desk, and more.
There are four styles of rooms, ranging from 153-square-foot inside staterooms to 226-square-foot outside staterooms with private verandas.
Dining features menus inspired by America's Heartland and Southern cuisine, including Cajun and Creole offerings.
Reservations for these cruises are available now. Those who book by the end of August will receive a discounted price starting at $7,197 per person.

Q: Is it safe to use the WSO2 API Manager 1.8.0 Publisher "undocumented" API to import API definitions via Swagger json? Within my automated build/deployment environment I want to use the WSO2 API Publisher Add API call (see https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM180/Publisher+APIs)
http://<host>:<port>/publisher/site/blocks/item-add/ajax/add.jag

to add/update APIs by supplying my Swagger json API definition files, generated from Java Spring @RestController classes with Swagger 1.2 annotations.
It appears this capability is not currently supported (see pending feature request https://wso2.org/jira/browse/APIMANAGER-3255 - Introduce a Publisher API to import swagger definition using a file or a URL).
However, there is an undocumented API which does support this which I have successfully tested:
https://host:port/publisher/site/blocks/item-design/ajax/add.jag? ... &swagger={<API SWAGGER DEFINITION GOES HERE>}

Is it safe to use this API? Please elaborate answer with explanation/background/future plans.
Where "safe" is defined as: Is it good practice to use the undocumented API? If yes, why isn't it documented? If not, why not, what are the risks of using it, what are the side effects, are future upgrades to WSO2 likely to break users of this API? Why does this API provide more functionality than the documented one?

JILA team develops 'spinning trap' to measure electron roundness
by National Institute of Standards and Technology
This is an artist's conception of JILA's new technique for measuring the electron's roundness, or electric dipole moment (EDM). The method involves trapping molecular ions of hafnium fluoride (red and blue spheres, respectively) in spinning electric and magnetic fields. Researchers measure changes over time in the "spin" direction of the molecules' unpaired electrons (arrows in yellow spheres), which act like tiny bar magnets. Specific patterns in the rate of change, reflecting alterations in the gap between two magnetic energy levels in the molecules, would indicate the existence and size of an EDM. Credit: Baxley/JILA
JILA researchers have developed a method of spinning electric and magnetic fields around trapped molecular ions to measure whether the ions' tiny electrons are truly round—research with major implications for future scientific understanding of the universe.
As described in the Dec. 6, 2013, issue of Science, the JILA team used their new spinning method to make their first measurement of the electron's roundness—technically, the electron's electric dipole moment (eEDM), a measure of the uniformity of the electron's charge between its poles. The JILA team's measurement is not yet as precise as eEDM measurements made by other groups. But the main purpose of the research at this time is to demonstrate a powerful new technique that may eventually provide the best eEDM measurements, and may also be useful in quantum information and simulation experiments.
JILA is a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado Boulder.
JILA/NIST Fellow Eric Cornell says his quest to measure the eEDM—5 years and counting—is as challenging as looking for a single virus particle on an object the size of Earth.
"Our paper presents a new method for getting to a better limit" on the electron's electric dipole moment, Cornell says. "Our hope is eventually to leapfrog over existing limits and get a still better result, but that will be at least a couple years out."
Decades ago, physicists believed the electron was perfectly round. In the 1980s, the idea of a slight asymmetry became acceptable, but any eEDM was thought to be too tiny to see. Some current theories predict that the eEDM might be only a bit smaller than the latest measurements indicate and might arise from exotic, as-yet-unknown particles.
Scientists are now trying to push the limits of eEDM measurements to either validate or disprove some of the competing theories. The current experimental upper limit is much, much larger than the eEDM predicted by the Standard Model of physics. But extensions to this model such as supersymmetry predict a value close to the experimental limits. By making more precise measurements, scientists hope to test these new theories.
Scientists try to measure the speedy electron's properties by attaching it to a bigger object, like a molecule. The JILA team focused on electrons associated with hafnium fluoride ions, so-called polar molecules with a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other end. Polar molecules can be trapped and manipulated with electric fields to remain in target states for 100 milliseconds, long enough for a precision measurement. The electric field inside the molecules is used to amplify the potential signal of eEDM.
JILA's new method involves rotating electric and magnetic fields fast enough to trap the molecular ions but slowly enough for the ions to be aligned with the electric field. The ions rotate in individual micro-circles while scientists measure their properties. The EDM is the difference between two magnetic energy levels. The method was developed in a collaboration between Cornell and JILA/NIST Fellow Jun Ye, who has conducted groundbreaking research with polar molecules.
The rotating field technique may be useful in quantum information experiments because a quantum bit could hold information for longer time periods in its electric and magnetic energy levels than in more commonly used quantum states. The ability to manipulate interactions of molecular ions might also simplify simulations of other spin-based quantum systems. In addition, the new technique might be used to investigate any variations over time in the fundamental "constants" of nature used in scientific calculations.

The Baptist Retirement Community wins Lone Star Safety Award
The Baptist Retirement Community was awarded the Lone Star Safety Award by the Division of Workers' Compensation and the Texas Department of Insurance for showing a low-rate of work-related injuries and illnesses.
Author: Adam Schumes, Ashley Ford
Published: 3:42 PM CDT September 28, 2017
Updated: 7:06 PM CDT September 28, 2017
The Baptist Retirement Community (BRC) was recognized by the Division of Workers' Compensation and the Texas Department of Insurance for showing a low-rate of work-related injuries and illnesses. The BRC received the Lone Star Safety Award and according to Lauren Witt, senior account executive with the BRC, "This is the highest recognition a company can receive in the state of Texas for maintaining a safe environment."
The senior living community was nominated by its Occupational Safety and Health Consultation Program (OSHCON) consultant, who regularly checks if the community is adhering to safety requirements.
"To qualify to be part of the OSHCON program, employers must have a proven safety program, injury incidence rates below the national average for three years prior to application, and no work-related fatalities within the prior 12 months," according to a press release.
Director of Human Resources Mary Smith said, "We are pleased to receive such a distinguished award. Often, a building within a campus or organization will win the award, but in our case the entire community – which consists of 250 employees – was presented with the Lone Star Safety Award." Smith added, "This is such a rarity, and we applaud our team for going above and beyond to make sure our community is a safe place for themselves, residents and visitors. We are truly honored and will continue to work at improving our best practices in any way we can."

Danuel House forced to leave NBA bubble after sneaking woman into hotel room
Danuel House Jr. (Image source: Instagram / @dk2house)
Houston Rockets gaurd Danuel House has been forced to leave the NBA bubble after violating safety protocols. On Sept. 11, league officials announced House's suspension from the campus in Orlando, Florida, according to ESPN.
The NBA's investigation revealed that House allowed a woman, who served as a COVID-19 tester, in his room for multiple hours on Sept. 8. The report also stated that no other player had contact with the woman.
In a statement, NBA officials said, "Mr. House is leaving the NBA campus and will not participate with the Rockets team in additional games this season."
House did not play against the Los Angeles Lakers in game 4 of the Western Conference semi-finals and the team was defeated by a score of 110-100.
NBA officials are seeking to minimize the possible spread of COVID-19 inside of the bubble by encouraging players to practice social distancing while off the court and wearing a mask at all times.
House's suspension is a blow to the Rockets who could use his bench scoring against the Los Angeles Lakers. House averaged 11.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in the playoffs and remained a dependable asset for a Rockets team seeking to upset the No. 1 seeded Lakers.
But with the Lakers up 3-1 in the series, the Rockets will need to find another bench scorer to replace House's contribution.
House, who is married with kids, denies that he committed a violation.

Andrea releases an appealing music video for her "Talk to Me" single
April 2, 2021 0 3 min read
Andrea is a singer-songwriter from Skopje, Macedonia. Not too long ago, she released an appealing music video for her "Talk to Me" single, produced by Aleksandar Masevski.
Andrea – "Talk to Me" music video
"Don't wanna wait or hold back. Don't wanna lose you out of sight. You gotta show you want it while I see my face in your eyes. I have the strangest feeling when I dive in your dreams. Is there some deeper meaning? What do you try to achieve? Baby, you can talk to me. Maybe, we are meant to be." – lyrics
'Talk to Me' tells a flirtatious tale about a young woman who desires to live in the moment with her significant other. Apparently, she's not shy in revealing her feelings and wants her companion to do the same.
'Talk to Me' contains a dreamy relationship-based narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies. Also, the song possesses vibrant instrumentation flavored with electro-pop, retro-disco, and synth-wave elements. Furthermore, "Talk to Me" serves as a wonderful presentation of what listeners can expect to hear from Andrea in the near future.
"You gotta show you want it while I see my face in your eyes."
"After a really difficult year, 'Talk to Me' is a chance to look forward to better times. To dance, relax, and enjoy the trip of fantasy and flirtatious fun." – Andrea explained
Music is Universal. The words Skopje and Macedonia rarely arise when you speak of modern music. In fact, no artist has reached popular success outside the borders of the former Yugoslavia. Andrea is on a different journey than any before her. Her overarching goal is to transform her audience through the power of music and help them discover who they are. In just a few short months since her debut release, she has already become the most international of Macedonia's music stars. To date, she has accumulated over 1.3 million views on YouTube and her music has been streamed over six million times on TikTok.
Andrea's love of music began at the age of five when her parents moved to Harlem for a one-year program. Her earliest recollections are the gospel, soul, and R&B she absorbed, which transformed her into a life-long music lover. The daughter of a law professor father and a physician mother, her parents expected her to follow a "respectable" career. However, the primary support for her passion came from her grandfather, who unexpectedly passed away when Andrea was nine years old.
Andrea was lost without her guide, mentor, and friend. She struggled to find her place in life as she entered her teenage years, coping with identity issues and depression. Her sole source of solace was music. She sought out a musical mentor – acclaimed producer/composer, Aleskandar Masevski, who recognized her innate talent. Under Masevski's tutelage, Andrea began to develop her natural vocal ability, finding her songwriting voice. Masevski encouraged her to enroll in Skopje's Faculty of Music Arts, the country's leading music school, where she also deepened her skills with guitar and piano. For the last two and a half years, Andrea burrowed deep in the studio working on the lyrics and songs from her heart.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Great4u Amazing quality I ordered this bed online for my son and RC Willey delivered it. Fast delivery, it said cherry black but is black in person which we were happy about because we were matching a black dresser. Great quality, my son loves it!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dnt94 This product is a great buy This bed is a great buy for those who don't have a lot of space in their room. Very sturdy and great quality.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AnnMarieT Great product! I bought this bed for my teenaged son. It is holding up very well, even after more than a year. And considering my son spends so much time in his room watching tv and gaming (and he's a typical teen boy - not exactly gentle on furniture!), this bed (and the matching dresser) are looking as good as the day we bought it.
Rated 2 out of 5 by akgapgirl1 Laguna Bed This an awesome bed for it's many purposes. I love all the drawers for organization and it's size. I was able to get rid of my son's dresser and use the drawers on this bed instead. Plus it has all kinds of amazing storage underneath the bed. The only thing I did not like about the bed is that it is made out of pine. When it was delivered to my house there were all kinds of dings and scratches on the bed. And where the scratches were it looks like someone had taken a sharpie to the scratches thinking we would not see them. It actually made it much worse. RC Wiley did take care us and apologized for the scratches. I would definetly purchase furniture from RC Wiley again. They do take care of their customers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mycb Lots of extra room. My son loves the hide out in the bottom of the bed. Great for extra storage that is not visible. Very nice and love the drawers. My son loves the hide out. Nice storage that is clean.
Rated 5 out of 5 by brnthms Bed Great construction. Very sturdy. Looks great in room.
Rated 5 out of 5 by AllJ Sturdy and great for small space! Bed and storage drawers are very sturdy. So far we are really happy with this purchase!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lovethisstore Love this bed Bought this bed for my 7 year old son as his "big boy bed". We both absolutely love it. I love that he will not grow out of it before he leaves home and it does not look like a child's bed. Goes nicely with grown up taste. He loves the hidden "fort" under the bed which is huge and could be used for storage too.
Rated 4 out of 5 by mmpnlp This product is great for smaller bedrooms. This bedroom peice is great for my sons new bedroom. I didn't have to buy a whole bedroom set. This product is a headboard, nightstand and dresser all in one. What a great idea for a small room.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JRMR Worth the money Product is well constructed and assembly was straightforward. However, the frame did have a wobble due to lack of cross bracing. Solved the wobble by screwing one end of the drawer assembly (which was a separate unit that slid into the bed frame) to the frame assembly. Wish it was available in colors other than black.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Ronella Quality The bed was not made for a child. The poor quality makes it seem like the bed will fall apart. It creeks and makes a lot of noise when you move on it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by irma tween bed love it my daughter is 11 and she loves this bed so much room storage and good quality furniture.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bed1 Space Saving in room I love this bed. It's unique and works well in my daughters room. The drawers are very sturdy and it's very pretty.
