2016 Mugello Moto3 Results
KTM's Brad Binder
Thirty-three Moto3 riders lined up Sunday on Mugello's grid, with SKY Racing Team VR46's Romano Fenati starting his home round from pole.
Fans spread across the circuit and its Tuscan hills cheered for one of their favorite Italians, but while battling for the lead, Fenati's KTM experienced technical issues, forcing him to retire on lap 10. This opened a five-way fight to the checkered flag, the top-five riders separated by a mere 0.077 of a second.
Earning the win was Red Bull KTM Ajo's Brad Binder (South Africa), who was joined on the podium by two Italians – Gresini Racing Moto3 Honda's Fabio Di Giannantonio and Aspar Mahindra Team Moto3's Francesco Bagnaia. Giannantonio finished 0.038 of a second behind Binder, and Bagnaiai 0.069 of a second.
This was Binder's third-straight win, and allowed him to extend his points lead to 127 – 49 ahead of Estrella Galicia Honda's Jorge Navarro, and 60 ahead of Fenati; both Navarro and Fenati suffered DNFs, helping Binder as he chases his first Moto3 title.
For Binder, this was also the first time a South African pilot won three-straight races since Kork Ballington in 1979 in the 250cc class.
Brad Binder says: "Today's race was absolutely crazy, because we were exchanging positions all the time and it was very difficult to plan a strategy. It was even dangerous at times, when we had so many riders at the end of the straight taking advantage of slipstreams. On the last lap I saw that I could get to the front of the group and reach the leader, and so I did that. It's fantastic to win again, and extend my run to three in a row.
"I cannot thank my team enough; they gave me the best bike possible today. This weekend was not easy, but with the experience of the team, who have won here three times in the last four years, we had an excellent bike for the race. We are still only six races into the season, so it's not time to look at the standings just yet."
Binder and most of the Moto3 grid will remain at Mugello for a single day of testing. Round seven gets underway in two weeks at Catalunya Circuit in Barcelona.
2016 Mugello Moto3 Official Recap
checkered flag waves at Mugello Moto3 2016
Fenati shot off the line and held his advantage into Turn 1, Binder (Red Bull KTM Ajo) moving up to third with Andrea Migno (SKY Racing Team VR46) splitting the two front-runners.
The straight was home to thrilling action as the leading group went five abreast into San Donato, riders easily going from first to fifth in just a few meters. Each lap saw more and more riders join the battle, the slipstream closing the pack up with each run down the 1.141km long straight as the top 20 were all within touching distance.
Replacement rider Lorenzo Dalla Porta (Schedl GP Racing) had an incredible start to the race, finding himself comfortably inside the top ten and able to battle with the World Championship regulars. Dalla Porta wasn't the only new name out at the front, rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio (Gresini Racing Moto3) taking the lead on several occasions in front of his home crowd.
Disaster struck on lap ten for pole setter Roman Fenati as his bike expired while he tried to move into first, the Italian rolling off the track and withdrawing from the race. Fenati's heartbreak presented a big opportunity for the likes of Fabio Quartararo (Leopard Racing) who made his way up into the frontrunners having started 18th, the Frenchman able to lead at several points.
The championship hopefuls continued to encounter difficulties, Jorge Navarro (Estrella Galicia 0,0) coming off at Turn 15 on lap 12 after contact with another rider. This left Binder fighting for victory with his two closest rivals out of the race, the South African guaranteed to leave Mugello with the championship lead.
Binder made his move on the final lap and opened up a quarter of second gap, just enough to break the slipstream. For the third straight race the South African takes to the top step of the podium, extending his championship lead once again. 49 points, almost two race victories, separate Binder in first from Navarro in second in the standings.
2016 Mugello Moto3 podium
Di Giannantonio scored his first points of the year with a brilliant second place at home, Francesco Bagnaia (Aspar Mahindra Team Moto3) making it two Italians on the podium with third. Before Mugello, Di Giannantonio's best result was 17th.
Try as they might, Niccolo Antonelli (Ongetta-Rivacold) and Fabio Quartararo (Leopard Racing) were unable to pass in the slipstream, settling for fourth and fifth respectively.
Darryn Binder (Platinum Bay Real Estate) was the first faller of the race, coming off at Turn 8 but able to walk away from the accident free of injury. Andrea Locatelli (Leopard Racing) fell at Turn 2 on the 14th lap, a sad end to his home weekend.
Khairul Idham Pawi (Honda Team Asia) crashed out of a potential top five on the final lap, followed soon after by Aron Canet (Estrella Galicia 0,0). Fabio Spiranelli (CIP-Unicom Starker) and Alexis Masbou (Peugeot MC Saxoprint) also failed to finish.

Coronavirus vaccine has brought new hope - but we have to stick to the rules while we weather this crisis
Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann writes to mark his first year in the role
Robin Swann
A nurse from the Belfast Trust Vaccine Team prepares to inject care home staff (Liam McBurney/PA Wire)
This week GP surgeries across Northern Ireland received the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to start vaccinating patients aged 80 and over.
It also marks the first anniversary of the restored Executive.
Here, Health Minister Robin Swann writes on his first year in the role, the ongoing fight against Covid - and the importance of sticking to the new regulations:
Northern Ireland Health Minister Robin Swann (Image: Liam McBurney/PA Wire)
This is an important week. Not just because it marks the first anniversary of the restored Executive and my role as Health Minister, but more importantly because it's the week when all GP surgeries across Northern Ireland have received boxes of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine to start vaccinating patients aged 80 and over.
Almost 14,000 of the over 80s have already received their jab.
I know that getting a call from their local surgery asking them to attend for their vaccine is bringing tremendous relief for so many elderly people who've been hoping and praying for this day to come so that they can leave behind a long and lonely year of isolation and distance from their loved ones, and a year of grief and loss for so many families.
Last week I watched media footage of 94 year old Eileen Lynch giving a thumbs up to the TV cameras as she emerged from Dr Michael McKenna's GP surgery in West Belfast, one of a small number of practices taking part in the early roll-out of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine. And I have seen the joy of care home residents who began receiving the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine last month.
Our teams of vaccinators have now visited every care home bar a small proportion that are still dealing with outbreaks.
I am full of admiration for the resilience of our senior citizens. As our most vulnerable, they deserve to be at the front of the queue to be given the vaccine that will free them – and eventually all of us - from the grip of this terrible virus.
We have started a new year with renewed hope, tempered of course by the reality of the enormous challenge that still lies ahead of us, particularly in the coming days and weeks.
All of us, citizens, politicians and healthcare professionals alike, will need to draw on every ounce of our energy and resolve to get through what will be the most serious surge of infections, hospitalisations and, tragically, deaths.
Almost ten months since the first death with Covid-19 in Northern Ireland, the Department's daily dashboard still contains some very sobering information.
Behind every death statistic, expressed on graphs and charts, is a loved and cherished person and a grieving family. My heart goes out to each and every one who has suffered loss this past year.
That depth of suffering has strengthened my resolve to do all I can as Health Minister to make sure that no stone is left unturned in our efforts to combat Covid-19 and protect our health service, specially for those who need it most.

This time last year when I took up office alongside my Ministerial colleagues, this dreadful virus had no name and very few people had even heard of its deadly existence. Now scientists around the world have given us the highly effective drugs with which to treat it, and the precious vaccines that will really help us to get back to normal life.
That is an incredible and hugely welcome achievement but I have learned during the past year that despite the long standing and systemic frailties of our health and social care service, there are huge reserves of determination, innovation, dedication and compassion amongst our staff. We have so much to thank them for.
When I became Minister, my first task was to find a resolution to the dispute over pay and staffing which had led to industrial action by nurses and health workers.
I was pleased that with the agreement of the Executive, I was able to immediately restore pay parity with England and bring about an end to that immensely stressful period for our health service.
Northern Ireland emergency care department waiting times revealed
NI Coronavirus: 19 further Covid-19 related deaths recorded by DoH
The pandemic has starkly highlighted the need for sustained investment in our health and social care workforce. Staffing shortfalls were, of course, a major problem before this virus.
This is a key priority and I have worked to ensure that investment is made for the workforce of tomorrow.
I'm acutely aware that our waiting times were awful before Covid and they will be even worse after it. So when we get through the worst of this pandemic – and it will pass – I've made it clear that tackling our unacceptable waiting lists should be my Department's top priority.
For years now too many people across Northern Ireland have been waiting for far too long for essential treatment and care, and I want to change that.
The toll that the pandemic has taken on mental health has underlined the need for greater resources and fresh approaches in this area of healthcare. One of my first meetings was with families who have lost loved ones to suicide and it was a moving and humbling encounter with people who live with their pain every day.
The appointment in June 2020 of the interim Mental Health Champion, Professor Siobhan O'Neill, has been key to ensuring that the needs and voices of those who matter most are at the heart of what we're doing across Government to improve mental health services.

The publication just before Christmas of the ten year Mental Health Strategy was another important moment in this endeavour and I hope that everyone will take the opportunity to have their say on how we shape future services for those who need and deserve better mental health care.
We are now in the most difficult winter that our health service has ever endured. I have loudly echoed the stark warnings from our leading doctors and Trust managers and I know how difficult it has been for them to make decisions about cancelling operations in order to ensure that our hospitals can cope with the numbers of very sick patients who will need lifesaving care in these coming weeks.
I urge everyone to give our health and social care workers the support they so desperately need by sticking closely to the new regulations introduced to save lives and protect our health service.
Please stay home and if you have to go out, follow public health advice about social distancing, wearing face coverings and remembering hand hygiene because we need to all we can to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe.
The vaccine has given us all real cause for optimism, with more than 100,000 doses now administered to elderly people and healthcare workers, but we still have to weather this crisis.
Let's all do this together, so we can be together again.

Goal Programming: Introduction
According to the classical economic theory, profit maximization is one of the most widely accepted goal of management. However, in today's dynamic business environment, there is no single universal objective for all organizations. Organizational objectives vary according to the characteristics, types, environmental conditions, etc. of the organization.
Various goals may be expressed in different units of measurement such as rupees, hours, tons, etc. Often multiple goals of management are in conflict or are achievable only at the expense of other goals. Consequently, one of the most important and difficult problem is to achieve an equilibrium between these conflicting objectives.
"It is more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly." - Mabel Newcomber
What is Goal Programming?
Goal programming is a powerful technique that is capable of handling multiple decision criteria. In other words, goal programming is a powerful tool to tackle multiple and incompatible goals of an enterprise.
Linear Programming vs Goal Programming
Unquestionably, linear programming models are among the most commercially successful applications of operations research. But, one of the limitations of linear programming is that its objective function is unidimensional, i.e., the decision maker strives for a single objective, such as profit maximization or cost minimization. To the contrary, in goal programming, the objective function contains primarily the deviational variables that represent each goal or sub-goal.
Another limitation of LP is that the management must accurately quantify the relationship of the variables in cardinal values (numbers that express exact values such as 1, 3, 4.5, etc.). But, when the goals are incommensurable, then these goals cannot be assigned cardinal values. These two shortcomings can be overcome by using the goal programming technique.

3.) Frosting it with Raspberry Buttercream icing shaped like roses.
I really enjoyed experimenting in the kitchen that day. Because of the freshly baked cakes, our kitchen smelled like sweet vanilla! Moreover, whipping the buttercream frosting was a breeze because of the KitchenAid mixer.
I placed the cake in the refrigerator and took a break for a few minutes. A part of me really wanted to smudge the icing, but somehow, I felt like doing it would be a waste of resources because I had a purpose for it. In spite of the discouragement and the cake's flaws, God allowed me to see the beauty in it and He encouraged me to continue frosting the cake.
And so, after 10-15 minutes, I got the cake from the refrigerator and started to pipe roses again. The amount of icing was just enough to make three layers of roses and the extra fresh Raspberries that I had were lovely toppings for the cake too.
1.) God never gives up on us.
2.) God sees the good and beauty in us.
3.) God is constantly at work in our lives.


Effective talent practices that drive true value remain vital, yet HR continues to struggle to deliver against this need.
January 17, 2018 Nearly a decade ago, CEOs surveyed by McKinsey stressed the importance of talent strategy to their organizations. But they also voiced misgivings about HR's ability to manage the talent process strategically and deliver maximum value to the business.
We recently refreshed that research and found little has changed. Effective talent practices that drive true value remain vital, yet HR continues to struggle to deliver this need.
The disconnect centers on HR Business Partners (HRBPs) – those senior HR individuals who counsel managers on talent issues. Despite decades of trying to focus these HRBPs on strategic issues, many of our clients voice a common refrain that a great HRBP is quite hard to find. And while the value of a great HRBP remains unquestioned, the structure of the HRBP role requires reengineering.
Remove operational responsibilities of Talent Value Leaders and make it a purely strategic role. Today, no matter how strategic their mandate, HRBPs get dragged into transactional and operational issues. In large measure, this occurs because most HRBPs retain some operational role, whether as an overseer of generalists or as the "customer service liaison" to the execution side of HR.
Empower Talent Value Leaders to influence and drive talent initiatives that generate real business value. Many business leaders today do not look to HRBPs as drivers of value via pulling talent levers; they continue to see them as personnel managers. This must change. Just as a business unit CFO doesn't have control over spending decisions but influences the entire profit and loss center, a Talent Value Leader must possess the credibility and authority to drive important talent decisions. And just as a CFO is accountable for the profit and loss, a Talent Value Leader should be measured against and held responsible for talent outcomes and the value they drive.
Establish a pipeline of Talent Value Leaders who blend talent, business and financial experience to be able to identify which talent levers can yield the most business value. Traditionally, HRBPs have assumed HR generalist roles that considers great customer service the best measure of success. A Talent Value Leader wouldn't play that service role but would be a business leader who says "no" occasionally, pushes a difficult perspective and influences other managers and executives.
Some companies are moving in this direction. A global beverage company, for example, fills some HR roles with people with engineering, technology or process-oriented backgrounds. Leaders at the soft-drink giant say engaging the business with data proves critical to expanding HR's strategic role.
At the same time, leaders elsewhere are moving between HR and line roles more frequently. The CEO of a major automotive company was previously the firm's HR vice president before joining the company's global product development leadership.
The transition to Talent Value Leaders requires a rigorous effort to shift mindsets and capabilities among both HR leaders and the business leaders that HR supports. But, the potential benefits promise to be enormous by entrusting an organization's most capable leaders with the mission to maximize the value of its talent assets.

Kanye West Says He Sees 'Good Things About Hitler,' Continues to Spew Antisemitic Drivel
Ryan Reichard
Ryan Reichard Published: December 1, 2022
MEGA via Getty Images
Kanye West continued his streak of antisemitic remarks by praising Hitler during a discussion with Alex Jones. During the conversation, the rapper shared he sees "good things about Hitler."
In the interview clip that has been circulating online, Jones, an infamous conservative conspiracy theorist, suggested West has been "demonized" by the media due to his recent outburst of antisemitic remarks.
Jones said West does not deserve to be compared to Hitler or the Nazis, to which the "Mercy" rapper replied that he sees the good in everyone, "especially" Hitler.
West told Jones:
Well, I see good things about Hitler, also. I love everyone, and Jewish people are not gonna tell me, 'You can love us, and you can love what we're doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we're pushing with the pornography. But this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician... You can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good.'
And I'm done with that. I'm done with the classifications. Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table. Especially Hitler.
Doubling down, during the interview West also said outright, "I like Hitler."
Watch part of the interview below:
This isn't the first time West has made his obsession for Hitler public.
According to previous reports, the rapper made antisemitic remarks and praised Hitler in the workplace while speaking to his staff at Yeezy.
An anonymous Yeezy employee alleged that West said "I love Hitler" and that Hitler "had some good qualities" and "wasn't all bad."
West's most recent comments come after he unleashed a string of antisemitic messages, including a tweet in which he wrote he was going to go "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."
We at PopCrush condemn Kanye West's antisemitic remarks.

When a person thinks of a ukulele, they often link this excellent instrument with Hawaii and its culture. While it is an adequate and correct pairing, considering the fact that the ukulele was in fact created in Hawaii, its ancestors and inspiration trace back to European colonialism.
Ukuleles came to Hawaii in the 19th century when the Portuguese immigrants came to work in sugar cane fields. Their European culture was merged with Hawaii, especially their music. Their stringed-instruments, called rajao and braguinha were merged into one to and the ukulele was born.
The Portuguese immigrants and carpenters named Manuel Nunes, Jose de Espirito Santo, and Augusto Dias created the first ukulele in Hawaii. After creating the new instrument, they played it every night and it became a popular sound. It was the Hawaiian King David Kalakaua in 1886 that called it taro patch fiddles. He was amazed by the instrument and began playing with it and his chamberlain, Edward Purvis excelled in playing the instrument. Purvis was nicknamed ukulele which means "jumping flea" because as he played the instrument his fingers jumped like fleas and from then on the instrument was branded ukulele.
There are debates on how the name ukulele first emerged. But historians are certain that ukulele means jumping fleas, though some say its popularity had nothing to do with Edward Purvis. However, it can be traced from the Portuguese who initially played the instruments.
Due to the popularity of the ukulele, one of its inventors, Manual Nunes, decided to start his own ukulele production company, better-known as M. Nunes and Sons. In the mid-20th century, ukuleles maintained their popularity, with lots of other companies starting to produce them. However, the '70s saw a decrease in demand and a huge shutdown in ukulele workshops.
The great news about ukuleles is that their sales are once again rising. Due to some top musical innovators, such as musician Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and distinguished music teacher Michael Carolin, the ukulele is being respected for all of the advantages it can give to a cultured and cohesive society. The truly unique sound created by a ukulele makes it an instrument that is being incorporated into the music of numerous performers, such as notable American musicians like Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift! What's more, the ukulele's vibrant history and message of cultural integration makes it the best instrument for a music teacher who wants his students to not simply learn to make great music, but also to be accepting and open-minded people.
It seems that a massive number of people are catching the bug – the jumping bug! In the current era, the ukulele has once again recaptured people's hearts and ideas.

Good thing you weren't having a serious medical episode (well, I assume, since you appear to still be alive). Someone who is having those sorts of symptoms should not be left alone. You can die from food poisoning (or many other conditions with similar symptoms...).

Lee, Thurston, and Steve with Mats Gustafsson. Originally released in very limited quantities in 2000. Very sick noise from what I recall...
New link:
https://gustafssonmooreranaldoshelle...ystad-new-york
The cities' names have been reversed and the tracks are no longer called "Without Kim" I & II, just, well, "I" and "II". 'Sup with that?
I don't think they were initially called "Without Kim" when posted, I was just being a dork by actually acknowledging the name of the original disc. That Black Box set looks amazing, anyone here have one?
Well now you got me questioning my memory. I can't remember whether they were called "Without Kim" (I and II), but since that was the name of the original tracks, I assumed they had also been changed once they, for some reason (and there has to be one, related to the label or Gordon or something), changed the disc title to Ystad - New York and the initial Bancamp page for the release was deleted (therefore deleting the item from my wishlist).
For the few folks here who may not know what the heck we're talking about, this is New York - Ystad on Discogs, and if you feel like getting the full Black Box Kulturbro 2000, prepare to shell out €2,499 for a mint copy (cheapest one, NM/VG+, goes for €2,400 - no reason to quibble over 99 Euros, huh?).
It wasn't called Without Kim on the bandcamp, that was the first thing that struck me too. Curious.
I've got the Lightnin' 7" but not the rest of it. I suspect Mats trades them in to a certain Swedish free jazz store every now and then, as they seen to have a semi-regular source of loose copies.
Lee Ranaldo is now on Bandcamp:

There's actually two Lee Ranaldo accounts now on bandcamp. This is the other one, which has the Broken Circle / Spiral Hill and Amarillo Ramp albums:

I really like Countless Centuries.

Those have been in Bandcamp for years, made available by Starlight Furniture.
Apparently, Lee is on Bandcamp as a fan as well:

Religion kills more than it saves you, man...
Anyways, "Among The Poetry Stricken" by Clark Coolidge & Thurston Moore has now been released as a Bandcamp download via Fast Speaking Music:
https://fastspeakingmusic.bandcamp.c...oetry-stricken
I was hoping for a physical release, and actually Google-searched Fast Speaking Music on CDBaby, which is where they used to have CDs for sale, and I was surprised to find out CDBaby is now gone (or a fucking mess).
...And, speaking a little more of Fast Speaking Music, I'd recommend to check out Anne Waldman's new album, "Sciamachy", which should be released on vinyl soon enough. Very illuminated people in this record: Guro Skumsnes Moe, Håvard Skaset, William Parker, Laurie Anderson, Deb Googe... and Anne Waldamn and her usual collaborators Devin Brahja Waldman and Ambrose Bye. Thurston Moore has had this to say about it:
"Poet, musicians, artists, eternal lovers, we now meet to reanimate the word/world. That shadow vibration, free-gender energy, it is the warrior adepts. Anne Waldman has the microphone, the bird call, the caw caw caw, the force of nature. SCIAMACHY is her sonic lamp n' sword raised high. Occupy the future!"
Disappears + Steve Shelley + White/Light unreleased recordings from 2009 now on Vampire Blues' Bandcamp:
https://disappears-steveshelley-whit...ey-white-light
Hot damn! I have the 7" from ten years ago ( ) and it sho is bitchen.
The sonic youth archive bandcamp account sent out the following message:

Steve's label Vampire Blues has uploaded an unreleased collaboration from 2009 "Disappears-Steve Shelley-White/Light" as well as records by Spectre Folk and fuck vampireblues.bandcamp.com
Thurston and Steve along w/ Ron Asheton (The Stooges), Mike Watt (The Minutemen firehose), Mark Arm (Mudhoney), Don Fleming (Gumball) and Sean Ono Lennon recorded music in 1997 as the Wylde Ratttz and have uploaded unreleased recordings wylderatttz.bandcamp.com/album/wylde-ratttz
Thurston has been posting rare and unreleased Chelsea Light Moving and Thurston Moore Group recordings here: thurstonmoore1.bandcamp.com and thurstonmooregroup.bandcamp.com

Yet another new addition from Lee on his bandcamp:
Dirty Windows:
A 'text/sound/image' album, a spoken word and music collection, with accompanying photos by Leah Singer. Includes complete album art and text/photo book which accompanied the original release.
released January 1, 1999
Additional players: Thurston Moore, Steve Shelley, Michael Morley, Epic Soundtracks, Cody Ranaldo.
Originally released on the Dutch Barooni label in 1999.
DIRTY WINDOWS is soooOooOoOOoooooOOOooo good...
kinda weird just seeing all of these "digital reissues" in the 2020 thread, though.
That's why I said we should start a specific "Sonic Bandcamp" thread. But you guys didn't listen. YOU DIDN'T LISTENNNNN!!!
Of course, I should've started it myself.
Thanks Chris for splitting the bandcamp posts from the 2020 thread :-)

Q: How to get content of each of the multiple function returns in Python? Suppose we have a function abc where it returns four dicts after some processing as shown. For future if I will only need one tuple from the four, how to get it?
Eg., I only want dict d_two which function abc returns or content of each of the four returns?
def abc():
    d_one = dict()
    d_two = dict()
    d_three = dict()
    d_four = dict()
    .
    .
    .
    .
    return (d_one, d_two, d_three, d_four)

A: You would need to deconstruct the returned value.  There are multiple ways of doing this.
I should also note that dict() doesn't create tuples it creates dictionaries, but the process would be the same for both.
Here are some examples
_, d_two, _, _ = abc()

# or

d_two = abc()[1]

# or

dicts = abc()
d_two = dicts[1]

The oil and gas industry should host African Energy Week to define a support program for our oil and gas industry ahead of COP26

15 Food Items That Got Exceptionally More Expensive In 2021 – And One That Got Much Less Expensive
This boycott of Africa in favor of Dubai must not be accepted and promoted by the oil and gas industry and African governments
MAPUTO, MOZAMBIQUE / ACCESSWIRE / June 7, 2021 / Africa Oil Week's move to Dubai, away from its home in Cape Town, is wrong, short-term in its thinking and sends a negative message to Africa. This decision underestimates our readiness to host events that define our future success in the economic and energy sector. Imagine the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament being held in Dubai because a company says Africa is no longer the right place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Africa Oil Week has always been seen as a crucial gathering for African NOCs and international CIOs to interact as well as a forum for African governments to discuss policy decisions and seek input from the oil and gas industry. In 2021, this particular conference would take place at a crucial time, as the debate on net zero gas emissions by 2050 threatens the future economic developments of several African countries.
This year's Africa Oil Week was to, among other very relevant issues, enable Africans and its energy sector to craft a narrative for COP 26 that takes into account the development and poverty reduction goals of our producing countries. and not oil and gas producers. We cannot give up in Africa. We should build our own platform with Africa Energy Week in October.
"I am deeply concerned about the decision to move Africa Oil Week to Dubai under the pretext of protecting participants from COVID-19 contamination in Cape Town. Their apologies and their final decision to move are both unacceptable and wrong. things are tough because of COVID-19, Africa should be ditched for other places regardless of the loyalty and sponsorship that Africa has shown for over two decades, "said Florival Mucave, president of the Mozambique Oil & Gas Chamber.
"When you take away business or business opportunities from Africa, you take away jobs and opportunities from Africans. Africa Oil Week has made its decision, it behooves us to demonstrate that as a continent we are able and willing to organize a conference that proudly presents the African oil and gas industry and takes into account all COVID-19 protocols and preventive measures, "continued Mucave.
"I have a lot of respect and admiration for Dubai and its remarkable socio-economic development. However, Dubai and Africa cannot be interchangeable when it comes to the social development of the African continent. Africa deserves partners who are fully committed to developing its precious resources and potential "concluded Mucave.
This boycott of Africa in favor of Dubai must not be accepted and promoted by the oil and gas industry and African governments. With the signing of the Paris Agreement, which called for an unprecedented commitment to decarbonize economies, the African oil and gas industry came under tremendous pressure and unprecedented calls were made for investors and energy companies stop investing in African oil and gas.
Important discussions on how we in Africa can work with government and upstream businesses to create an environment that attracts required oil and gas investment, local content in a post COVID-19 Africa, economic diversification, financing of our gas developments, the financing of independents in the acquisitions of assets of the main CIOs, the licensing cycles and also climate change should take place in Africa and not in Dubai.
Mozambique's energy sector believes that an energy conference in Cape Town in October will address key issues such as making our regulatory and fiscal framework attractive for investments, making deals with international and local companies, governments outlining new projects and agreements, solidifying Africa's narrative for COP26, and being strong with our oil and gas sector is essential.
An African Energy Week in Cape Town is expected to unite governments, oil and gas companies, financial institutions, service companies, marginal field producers, commercial banks and more. This meeting is vital for the success of the energy sector on our continent.

The changes in the last year or so have been tremendous and there are still big changes to come. I'll be sharing more about those when they are confirmed. Change has a way of filtering down and those shifts affect creative direction. And that can make what comes out seem nebulous.
The things that have been dominating my time in the last year and a bit have been the move, the upcoming book, some heavy personal losses and a lot of travel for both pleasure and in response to those losses. For a painter, all this change has been difficult, eyeopening and most of all, it forced me to grow.
Those of you who read this blog with any regularity have noticed it has moved away from being just "art" centered in the last couple of years. The posts about my explorations of Ontario have been replaced by the road trips and flights across the American Southwest. In fact, I have been away so much, not all of them have even been posted yet. Everything seems to have trickled down to the blog without much focus and now that my vision is clearing, I realize I have housekeeping to do. Over the coming months I want to let the changes focus the blog and my newsletter to reinforce what has changed and what has stayed the same.
I wrote a post in the spring about how life is like geography and how certain shifts change a landscape forever, forcing us to rebuild the roads and mourn the places of our youth that no longer exist except in our memories. If the landscape changes, so must we.
So having spent some time thinking about changing landscapes, in a couple days I'll be talking about where this artist and her blog will go from here….
"Landscape" . In life , we never experience just one landscape. You are not just a daughter, or a friend, or a wife , or an artist . Life flows through the whole self but effects perhaps only a part at a time. The part of you that is your soul sometimes is neglected. Our memories are what make us individuals and influence our future decision making. You are about to embark on some new personal landscapes. This time, what is it that you will bring along with you into your new "landscape" ?

The Open Dialogue FoundationNewsEvent at the EP: "Persecution of lawyers: Selected cases from Moldova, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Russia and Kazakhstan"
07.02.2018 | Author: Paola Gaffurini
The Open Dialog Foundation is glad to invite you to an event on the topic of the persecution and protection of lawyers, which will be held on Tuesday 20 February 2018, from 15:30 to 17:00, room: A5G305; at the premises of the European Parliament – Brussels. The event is co-hosted by MEPs Ms Julie Ward (UK; S&D) and Mr Jaromír Štětina (Czech Republic; EPP), in partnership with the Open Dialog Foundation.
In many Eastern European countries, the work of a lawyer is fraught with many risks: murders and attempted assassinations, criminal prosecution, beatings, threats, pressure on relatives, illegal searches, surveillance, attempts to withhold licenses of attorneys, and slanderous media campaigns. Legislation deficiencies in professional activities of counsels, ineffective law enforcement agencies, and the difficult general situation with respect for human rights all subject lawyers to danger.
The tightening trend of authoritarian regimes in some of the eastern countries is accompanied by an increase in the number of cases of political repression. Lawyers involved in politically motivated cases become, in turn, victims of persecution and pressure.
Many are the examples that we wish to discuss in order to show the importance that such an initiative entails. Several are the cases of lawyers being prosecuted in Russia, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Ukraine, as well as cases of prosecution in the territory of European countries (Belgium, Czech Republic) by extra-European authoritarian regimes (Kazakhstan).
During its last session, in January 2018, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe voted in favour of the drafting of a European Convention on the Profession of Lawyer, in order to offer greater protection to lawyers who are constantly endangered by their engagement in the defence of their clients.
Similarly, the European Union needs to set an example for and promote the respect and protection of the often difficult and hurdled profession of lawyer.
The event aims at gathering together Members of the European Parliament, representatives from civil society organisations and international bar associations, exiled lawyers and human rights defenders.

Cherries Mad
Well That Was The Season That Was!
Last updated : 10 July 2013 By Exiles Chairman
The return of Eddie and Jase with a few new player additions finally produced the season to remember. An unbeaten streak beginning with their return was one of the best in our histories, and but for a blip of 5 defeats on the bounce, promotion and the title would have been resolved much sooner. As it was, a run of 8 consecutive wins in the run-in saw us promoted with a game to spare. A last day draw at Tranmere and a last gasp winner for Donny at Brentford deprived us of the title but did little to dampen the end of season party.
As the song says, Bournemouth 'are on their way'.
So thoughts turn to the new season that is now just 4 weeks away. It has been 23 years since we last graced this level. In Eddie Howe we have an experienced manager for the division. His time at Burnley will serve us well hopefully and we will hit the ground running. The lack of any meaningful pre-season transfer activity at this point is a concern as is the worry on how a club of our size and resource can afford some of the transfer fees mooted or wages demanded. Nevertheless it is apparent our Russian benefactor is still committed to the club and the incredible journey we are on. Long may he do so.
Ian Harte is a useful addition and with other big names being mentioned then I am convinced new names will be seen and some faces will depart. But our squad is strong together and the lads have shown great spirit and camaraderie to get us where we are today. I have every confidence that the current squad plus a quality striker will see us have enough in our armoury to hold our own.
Outside of say a top 6 or 8 teams then I would put us on a par with many of the others with nothing to fear. As a new team and with a small stadium this should allow us the element of surprise to many clubs at the outset. I am excited for the season ahead with some fantastic stadia's to visit and attractive footballing teams to Dean Court. I hope the public back the club in numbers and we see 10,000+ attendances, if only to justify Max's investment in our club.
We are punching well above our weight but I feel that in Eddie & Jase we have 2 leaders who have the experience and determination to make sure we can mount a credible challenge and see us stay in the Championship come May 2014.
So I look forward to seeing you at some point on our travels or at Dean Court and here's hoping for another fantastic successful season. We are on our way and it remains up the Cherries in all departments.
Nick Wallinger (Chairman)

L'vovo hospitalized after suffering a stroke

L'vovo hospitalized after suffering a stroke.
Thokozani Ndlovu, also known as L'vovo, was hospitalized after having a stroke while performing in Ndwedwe, KwaZulu-Natal.
On Saturday, December 24, his record label Derrango Records verified this.
Ndlovu had a mild stroke on December 23 while performing in Ndwedwe in KwaZulu-Natal, according to the record company.
He is reportedly in the hospital receiving medical attention and is said to be responding well.
"We kindly ask that you keep him in your prayers and we are confident that he will come out of this difficult situation even stronger," a statement released by the record label read.
The family of L'vovo likewise requested privacy during this tough period.
Ndlovu, who was injured in a car accident earlier this year, was hospitalized for a month in the ICU at Greys Hospital.
L'vovo was engaged in a head-on accident with a vehicle near Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, according to a prior story in the magazine. He informed Isolezwe that he is relearning how to walk despite the terrible injury to his leg sustained in the vehicle accident.
"The problem is that I injured my hip, so walking has been very challenging. But doctors have inserted a pediatric hip plate to help this area to heal, what is left now is for me to walk again," he said.
"I have started attending classes that will help me to walk and I was removed from the intensive care unit (ICU) on Wednesday [1 June]".
The news comes just a day after Mandla 'Mampintsha' Maphumulo, another Kwaito and Gqom musician and member of Big Nuz, also experienced a mild stroke during a concert, was hospitalized, and subsequently passed away.

We always focus on giving bigger stage to thoughts and voices of the common man: Purushottam Vaishnava, ZEE Hindustan
by Kalpana Ravi
in Exclusive, Featured
Zee Hindustan is a 24×7 national Hindi news channel. The channel was launched in May 2017, with the motto – 'States Make The Nation and 'Nayi Bharat ka Naya News Channel' – promising to highlight the voice of a common man from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. The channel was refurbished in 2020 with Shamsher Singh joining as the Managing Editor, tweaking the narrative to a more nationalist approach. The channel has a young team of anchors and reporters with youth at the centre who fearlessly ask the pertinent questions. The tagline- 'Humara Samwad, Rastravaad' is at the core of all content, with innovative formats for news presentation; with anchors going beyond the newsroom to where the real action is on-ground.
In an exclusive chat with MediaNews4U Purushottam Vaishnava, CEO, ZEE Hindustan speaks to us on the programming during the 2022 UP elections, marketing initiatives, and various other strategies…
Elections in this country are a festival of democracy, the 2022 elections in UP are on a huge scale, how is ZEE Hindustan visualizing this scenario?
Uttar Pradesh is a very important state not only for all Hindi News channels but for the overall electoral process. It is a significant state politically as it captures 80 parliamentary seats. Therefore, it is very important for us to get to the roots of the state and capture the pulse of the people. ZEE Hindustan's positioning of 'Humara Samwad, Rashtravad' is essentially to get the narrative of the people who make our country. We believe in covering things from the ground up to get the right views on the news. For the UP election too, we have a huge team of 90 reporters and anchors already placed in various parts of Uttar Pradesh. We have dedicated 1 reporter for each of the seats and anchors to stitch the whole narrative. We already have a whole line-up of programs on-air showing our viewers how the election warfare in Uttar Pradesh is shaping up.
Every channel is upping its ante in terms of programming for the upcoming elections, what would be your primary focus in terms of content?
We have seven special bulletins dedicated to Uttar Pradesh in the day. The plan is exhaustive coverage in the most engaging manner, so the viewers don't feel encumbered to watch our channel rather feel like all their queries are answered. Programs like UP @ 403 – a bulletin dedicated to each of the 403 constituencies in Uttar Pradesh following them as they gear up for election. The day starts with the first bulletin called UP se Ram Ram, where 4 anchors situated in 4 different areas of UP will present 1 comprehensive bulletin. A mix and match with programs on a lighter note like Chai, ChaatChaupal, Chanuvwalinao where we will showcase the food, flavor and the beauty of UP along with election perception is also part of the daily line-up.
Will the programming involve on-ground activities, live debates involving the common man other than politicians and their spokespersons?
Our programming has always been focused on giving the bigger stage to the common people; be it in our events or shows. The voices of the people, the districts at the grass-root level are intricate in our approach to news. We already have a big LED canter and a branded bus going around 40 districts of Uttar Pradesh doing early prime-time bulletins with the local leaders & Influencers in the Shankhnad program. We also have an audience-led bulletin where the common people will voice their concerns in their districts. We are also tweaking our application, so people can submit the issues in their areas and suggest remedial measures if any. The channel is for the common man, so we make sure we include the thoughts and voices of the common man in the bulletin. Our district event, Hindustan Ki Baat is a series focusing on various districts and upholding the achievements of that district.
What would be the innovative marketing initiatives to garner eyeballs for the programming?
The best way to connect with people is on the ground. As mentioned, we have been on the ground for around 15days already with the branded LED canter, from where we are doing shows as well as promoting our programming line-up. Apart from this we have our trade campaign going on to keep the trade fraternity abreast of our initiatives.
Strategy to stay ahead of the competition?
ZEE Hindustan is a new channel, with young voices and a fresh approach. Youth is the core of our Nation; hence we have infused them into our journalism. On-ground reporting is our key approach towards getting our viewers all that they want to know about what is happening on the ground. That is our winning formula which will keep the viewers engaged on the channel.
Today with new players in the market especially Hindi, how is the advertising pie looking?
Yes, there are new players in the market. It indicates there is potential in the market to support so many channels. As for us, ZEE has heritage value; our focus is not on having to vie for mind space. The trade fraternity is aware of our reach and potential. As long as we keep generating good content to keep viewers engaged and create innovative solutions for the clients, we should always be able to get a sizable section of the pie.
What would be the other initiatives by the channel during this period?
ZEE Hindustan's bouquet of programs has always been varied. Events are something that we are big on. Apart from district events, we have successfully executed several big Intellectual Property events such as Udaan, an entrepreneurship series, Aarogyam- a conclave on Ayurveda. Similarly, we have a plan for big-ticket events in the last quarter of this fiscal year. Viewers are always looking for new content. It's our constant endeavor into keeping our audiences engaged on our channel since the competition is so high.

Q: How to hide a TabLayout with BottomNavigationView I have a TabLayout with 3 tabs and a BottonNavigation and I need that at the moment of pressing patients and configuration the tablayout disappears, I do not know what line of code I need?
I also use a ViewPager, everything works well the only thing I need is that the TabLayout disappears when it is in patients. In the Patient Fragment I will use a recycleView and CardView, I want to show the photo of the patient and his data
project image:

MainActivity.java:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
BottomNavigationView mbottomNavigation;
private ViewPager mviewPager;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    //bottomNavigation
    mbottomNavigation = (BottomNavigationView) findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation);
    mbottomNavigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(navigationItemSelectedListener);
    //aqui se especifica donde es que se quiere que inicie el bottom
    getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.fragment_container, new AgendaFragment()).commit();
    //ViewPager
    mviewPager = (ViewPager) findViewById(R.id.viewpager);
    setupViewPager(mviewPager);
    final BottomNavigationView navigation=(BottomNavigationView)findViewById(R.id.bottom_navigation);
    navigation.setOnNavigationItemSelectedListener(navigationItemSelectedListener);
    mviewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            switch (position){
                case 0:
                    navigation.setSelectedItemId(R.id.nav_agenda);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    navigation.setSelectedItemId(R.id.nav_pacientes);
                    break;
                case 2:
                    navigation.setSelectedItemId(R.id.nav_configuracion);
                    break;
            }

        }
        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {

        }
    });
}

private OnNavigationItemSelectedListener navigationItemSelectedListener = new OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
  @Override
    public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        switch (item.getItemId()){
            case R.id.nav_agenda:
                mviewPager.setCurrentItem(0);
                return true;
            case R.id.nav_pacientes:
                mviewPager.setCurrentItem(1);
                return true;
            case R.id.nav_configuracion:
                mviewPager.setCurrentItem(2);
                return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
};
private void setupViewPager(ViewPager mviewPager) {
   BottomNavPagerAdapter adapter=new BottomNavPagerAdapter(getSupportFragmentManager());
   adapter.addFragment(new AgendaFragment());
   adapter.addFragment(new PacientesFragment());
   adapter.addFragment(new ConfiguracionFragment());
   mviewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}

}

PatientsFragment.java:
public class AgendaFragment<toolbar> extends Fragment {

private TabLayout tabLayout;
private ViewPager firstViewPager;

public AgendaFragment() {
    // Required empty public constructor
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View rootView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_agenda,container,false);
    firstViewPager=(ViewPager)rootView.findViewById(R.id.viewpager_content);
    tabLayout=(TabLayout)rootView.findViewById(R.id.tablayout);
    tabLayout.setupWithViewPager(firstViewPager);
    setupViewPager(firstViewPager);
    return rootView;
}

private void setupViewPager(ViewPager viewPager) {
    TabViewPagerAdapter adapter = new TabViewPagerAdapter(getChildFragmentManager());
    adapter.addFragment(new Tab1Fragment(), "Today");
    adapter.addFragment(new Tab1Fragment(), "Tomorrow");
    adapter.addFragment(new Tab1Fragment(), "Other Date");
    viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}

A: You could just keep your activity layout with the BottomNavigation and the FrameLayout to show the content of each navigation item. Add the AppBar with the Toolbar and TabBar in your Agenda Fragment layout.


With every New Year come waves of change. We make resolutions to do things differently, whether it's changing our eating habits or the manner in which we manage our money. For marketers, January presents the opportunity to evaluate the goals of the year past, test new initiatives in the coming year and re-evaluate insights of their target market. When it comes to mothers, I've tracked consumer behaviors that the team at BSM Media feel will lead to the Mom Marketing Trends of 2010.
Video Puts a Face to Bloggers and Mom Mavens: Skype, VID and Vlogging have opened the door to a whole new dimension to the relationships mom bloggers and podcasters have developed with other mothers many miles away. With webcams and Flips in hand, moms can now communicate face-to-face with other friends, family members and companies. For marketers this means that it's time to come out from behind your brand and put a face to your product. You can do this by engaging moms to be online "spokesmoms" or by uploading product videos to mom video portals such as Newbaby.com, www.newbaby.com or Facebook fan pages. More ambitious companies such as Logitech have found success in hosting shows on MomTV.com, www.momtv.com and doing product placement in mom produced shows as well.
The MomFrugalista is the New Chic of 2010: During 2009, the economy forced moms to explore coupons and discounts like never before. In fact, 60% of moms who claim to have never used coupons prior to the down economy admitted to now using them while compiling their grocery list. Saving money has become chic and cool among moms, even those with disposable income. It's a game and in some circles of moms, a badge of honor. Stockpiling, insert previews and blog posts highlighting sales will continue to be a growing trend . Companies launching new products or attempting to increase sales will have to entice moms to try their products with coupons , samples and special offers. Moms have felt the excitement of saving money at the grocery store and few intend to give it up regardless of the economy.
Taking Online Mom Mavens Offline: Moms have enjoyed making friends online, in what I call the virtual playground, for several years; however they are now looking to bring these friendships to life in the physical world as well. This means great new opportunities for marketers because, as these online influencers expand offline, their networks and influence will expand as well. A recent example of this was the 300 Mommy Parties, www.mommyparties.com. BSM Media orchestrated for Zhu Zhu Pets. Moms across the US invited moms and kids into their home to play with Zhu Zhu hamsters making it the #1 toy of this holiday season. Attendance of mom bloggers has also spiked at local Mom Mixers. Companies can capitalize on mom's desire to interact face-to-face with other moms while creating a platform for them to experience products and brands in an intimate and fun manner by sponsoring Mommy parties, Mom Mixers and local meet-ups.
It's a new year and as a marketer it's up to you to stay up with the times. Push aside your old CPM models and online impressions benchmarks and explore what can happen when you engage moms as your marketing partner.

Das mächtige und reiche bayerische Geschlecht der Grafen von Sempt-Ebersberg, auch Grafen von Sempt oder Grafen von Ebersberg, hatte seinen Ursprung in der Zeit von Kaiser Arnulf von Kärnten († 899) mit Graf Sighart († 906) aus dem Geschlecht der Sieghardinger und endete mit Graf Adalbero II. 1045. Die Grafen von Sempt-Ebersberg waren auch die ersten Markgrafen der Mark Krain; sie regierten als solche von 1004 bis zum Erlöschen des Geschlechts. Zeitweise reichte ihr Herrschaftsbereich durch geschickte Heiratspolitik und Erbe von den oberbayrischen Städten Ebersberg und Erding bis in das heutige Kärnten. 934 gründeten die Grafen das Kloster Ebersberg.

Wild Palms 'Until Spring'
Kevin Boyle posted on May 25, 2011 20:52
Review Snapshot: Despite occasional glimpses of promise, the debut album from British band Wild Palms loses its way somewhere between ambition and execution.
The Cluas Verdict? 5 out of 10
Full Review: There is a lot to like about Wild Palms brand of music. Whilst drawing on an array of influences and blending genres as traditionally opposed as pop rock and shoe gaze, the group still manage to arrive at their own unique sound, a characteristic sorely lacking in many of their contemporaries. As well as having an imitable voice in lead singer Lou Hill, the album is also littered with catchy hooks and clever musical experimentation. So why then, having given the record fair chance, did I find myself so unmoved by the experience and even a little frustrated?
Well for one thing the group don't appear to have settled on a direction. There is an imbalance between simple, radio-friendly pop tunes and long, drawn out tracks that fluctuate in intensity only to arrive at an anti-climatic and unfulfilling conclusion. The final track on the album 'Not Wing Clippers', for example, is a fourteen minute epic (epic in length only) that begins as a fairly customary pop song, only to plunge into four minutes of unfathomable silence (this is fashionable amongst certain groups these days, personally I blame Sigur Ros) before it finally picks up again into a bit of good old fashioned post rock. This track alone demonstrates everything that is good and bad in Wild Palm's music.
The lead single from Until Spring, 'Delight in Temptation', is another Jekyll and Hyde type of song that develops nicely with a basic guitar hook and slight lyrics from the front man before surrendering to a terribly predictable, and consequently uninteresting, chorus. With this song, as with the entire album the promise of Wild Palms is belied by their brash execution.
'Caretaker' is one of the few songs on this record that works from beginning to end. And it works because it doesn't try to be epic or sweeping. It is a quiet little track where Hill's voice soars above the music, rather than competing with it as happens throughout much of the album.
The overall tone of the album is a little too melancholic, which would be fine if the melancholy being put forward seemed genuine. But it doesn't and the whole thing just ends up sounding forced, uninspired and confused. That said, however, they are a talented group who will perhaps come back to wow us with a much improved second album. We shall see.
