Ohio Case: The 'Rosa Parks Moment' For Education?
Ideastream Public Media | By Jeff St. Clair
Kelley Williams-Bolar, an Akron, Ohio, woman who served nine days in jail for lying to get her children into a better school system, was released earlier this week.
But the controversy over the case appears to be growing. Williams-Bolar's felony conviction has stirred strong feelings over school funding, equality — and the law.
The Conviction
Two-and-a-half years ago, Williams-Bolar was called to a meeting at the middle school her two daughters attended. When she arrived, she faced school administrators and a school lawyer. The meeting didn't go well, turning into a shouting match.
The school in the Copley-Fairlawn district on the west side of Akron had hired an investigator who discovered that Williams-Bolar and her daughters lived outside the district, in subsidized housing two miles away in Akron. She claimed in affidavits that she and her daughters lived in Copley with her father.
This month, the 40-year-old single mom found herself in court, facing felony charges of tampering with records. She was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison.
That was immediately reduced to only 10 days with time served. Still, her blood-curdling scream in the crowded Akron courtroom was heart-wrenching.
Her minister, Lorenzo Green, had a more muted reaction that day.
"It's just sad, when I see all the media here today, it's all overwhelming," he said.
A Punishment That Doesn't Fit The Crime?
Williams-Bolar served nine days and is now free. Her felony conviction for falsifying records to attend a better school is a first in Ohio. She is still overwhelmed by the national attention her case is receiving and did not respond to interview requests.
But Akron City Council President Marco Sommerville has taken up her cause because, like many, he feels the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
"The young lady was wrong, she should not have tried to take her kids to another school system, should not have falsified any information, but we find it strange that she got charged with a felony," he says.
Sommerville and others across the country are asking what would prompt someone to risk so much to send her kids to a better school. Dan Domenech of the American Association of School Administrators says the answer is simple.
"The correlation between student achievement and zip code is 100 percent," he says. "The quality of education you receive is entirely predictable based on where you live."
And what Williams-Bolar did is not so unusual. Domenech estimates it is costing taxpayers nationwide tens of millions of dollars in districts that limit outside student enrollment.
Copley-Fairlawn Schools Superintendent Brian Poe says criminal charges were the final step after the family refused to pay the more than $30,000 tuition he says was owed the school.
"Our district did everything we possibly could to work through the situation and resolve the situation," he says.
Poe concedes that the response to the school's action has largely been as harsh as the judge's sentence.
"We've taken a lot of criticism," he says. "It's not a matter of picking and choosing students, it's a matter of educating students within our district according to Ohio law."
A Call For Education Reform
In Ohio and a number of other states, schools are funded primarily through local property taxes, which Williams-Bolar was not paying. Bob Dyer, who lives in Copley, shares the school's frustration that she was not paying to educate her daughters there.
"I pay a lot of money in property taxes, 53 percent of which go to the schools, and I want that money to go to people who live in the district," he says.
Conservative commentator Kyle Olson says this conviction highlights the need for changes in education.
"A lot of people are seeing this as the Rosa Parks moment for education and education reform," he says.
Though public sentiment may largely be on her side, prosecutors say all she needed to do was tell the truth — and that what Williams-Bolar did hurts other parents who follow the rules.

Rwanda becomes the first African country to ban all single-use plastics
RWANDA – Rwanda becomes the first country in East Africa to issue a complete ban on all single-use plastics a move that goes hand in hand with the country's commitment of environmental protection.
Single-use plastics are plastics used only once before disposal which leads to their rapid accumulation in the environment subsequently causing pollution – if not recycled.
Most of single-use plastics are not biodegradable and include plastic bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles, disposable cutleries and most food packaging materials.
According to the passed law retailers have three months to clear their stocks and find alternatives, while industrial users and producers of single-use plastics have a two-year deadline.
The country first adopted a law against plastic bags in 2008 and a new law gazetted in August this year adds to the list of other types of plastics deemed equally harmful to the environment.
In 2008, Rwanda enacted a law prohibiting importing, producing, use or sell of non-biodegradable polythene plastic bags.
The 2019 law is extensive and prohibits the manufacturing, importation, use and sale of plastic carry bags and single-use plastic items.
Failure to adhere to the law will attract hefty penalties or even revocation of trade licences.
A person who manufactures polythene bags and single-use plastic items is liable to closure of the activity, dispossession of such items and to an administrative fine of Rwf10 million.
A person who imports polythene bags and single-use plastic items is liable to dispossession of those polythene bags and such items and to an administrative fine equivalent 10 times of the value of those polythene bags and single use plastic items.
In addition, imported consumer goods packaged in polythene bags or single-use plastic items are subject to an environmental levy in accordance with relevant laws.
A person who intends to manufacture, use, and import or sell polyethene bags and single-use plastic items or pack goods in polythene bags and single-use plastic items for exceptional reasons will have to apply for an exceptional authorisation issued by the competent authority.
The institutions responsible for inspection and control of manufacturing, importation, use or sale of polythene bags or single-use plastic items according to the law are: Rwanda National Police; institution in charge of customs; Rwanda Investigation Bureau; Rwanda Environment Management Authority; institution in charge of the standards; Rwanda Inspectorate, Competition and Consumer Protection Authority; administrative decentralised entities.
"The new law is intended to check unnecessary consumption and disposal of single-use plastic items, which are harmful to the environment," said Vincent Biruta, the Minister of Environment.
"Producers of single-use plastics have been duly informed in a timely manner and will be required to adjust. There are paper or bamboo alternatives that serve the same purpose without destroying the environment," he added.

Launched last year, Vision REI manages 12 entities with five Michigan locations.
The first year at Vision Real Estate Investment has been a whirlwind.
Launched in February 2016, the Grand Rapids-based firm now owns and manages more than a dozen entities with nearly 1 million square feet of property.
Vision REI was founded by Tim Engen, the firm's CEO, following 17 years in technology when he moonlighted as a real estate investor.
"Everyone I spoke to advised me to follow my passion and to surround myself with the best individuals in the industry," Engen said at the time of the founding.
The firm now has nearly 20 employees in its five Michigan offices, including the headquarters at 140 Monroe Center St. NW, with buildings owned or managed in Grand Rapids, Big Rapids, Byron Center, Lansing, Detroit, Norton Shores and Greenville.
Sischo said no ground-up developments were ready to be announced, but there are some in the works in the markets the company already serves. The development opportunities would be in contrast to the moves Vision REI has made since launching.
A few weeks into the firm's existence, Vision REI made its most significant investment to date when it purchased 99 Monroe from Chicago-based Franklin Partners for $31.9 million, according to city documents.
The 12-story building has 173,657 square feet of commercial space in downtown Grand Rapids.
Vision REI also recently acquired a 150,000-square-foot office building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Lansing. The deal was announced in March, and Vision REI is planning for more than $1 million in renovation to the building, which includes tenants such as PNC Bank, Miller Canfield and Warner Norcross.
Those two help make up a significant chunk of the company's portfolio, which currently is largely downtown office space.
Now, Sischo said Vision REI is looking to diversify its holdings and focus on industrial and residential sites. He also said medical office is another segment the firm is looking to expand in its portfolio.
Last August, Vision REI purchased a 124,200-square-foot, 264-bed apartment complex in Big Rapids.
Along with continuing to search for a solid investment opportunity, Sischo said Vision REI will intensify its push to provide third-party property management.
Unlike some investors, Sischo said Vision REI will not look to flip properties for a quick buck.
"Our strategy is long-term hold," he said. "We're in the real estate business, so if the price is right, we'll sell, but we want to build into a long-term hold.

Halsey Reveals Cute Behind-The-Scenes Details About The 'Boy With Luv' Video Shoot With BTS

Halsey has revealed some additional details about her music video shoot with K-pop superstar group BTS. In a Twitter exchange with a fan, she disclosed that the handshake that she does with RM (Kim Nam-Joon) in the video is longer than what viewers saw in the clip.
"Me and Joon handshake is actually a lot longer and more complex than the clip in the MV," she wrote on Twitter. "We will show you one day."
The handshake is a very "blink and you'll miss it" moment in the video, so fans expressed lots of excitement at the prospect that there could be more.
The "Without Me" singer also revealed that she was nervous about the choreography. BTS is well known for their dance moves and stage presence, and it looks like she was a bit intimidated by that.
"I was nervous cause I've never done choreo in a video before! But they were so awesome haha they made me so comfy and gassed me up," she added.
"Boy With Luv" is the first single off of BTS' new album, Map Of The Soul: Persona. As the Inquisitr previously reported, the album was released on April 12 to the delight of their millions of fans around the world. The album also features a collaboration between the group and Ed Sheeran.
As CNN notes, Persona seems on track to surpass the success of their two previous projects. More than 3 million fans pre-ordered the album, their label, Big Hit Entertainment, claims. Their previous albums: Love Yourself: Answer and Love Yourself: Tear, each sold approximately 2 million copies and landed them a spot at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.
"SNL is the perfect national stage for @BTS_twt to tap into an audience with wider demographics. But simply (guest-starring) on SNL is a big deal, since the show invites only the most popular musicians of the day." Read the interview with @toojazzy25: https://t.co/cnrlEqYaRc pic.twitter.com/ji64dArQYT
— Kpop Herald (@Kpop_Herald) April 13, 2019
The group seems set to continue its rise to prominence in the American market. They will be the musical guest of the April 13 episode of Saturday Night Live. In an interview with Jimmy Fallon, SNL's host this week, Emma Stone, revealed that BTS fans have already started camping out ahead of their performance.
This follows their appearances at the Grammys this year and the 2017 Billboard Music Awards where they picked up the award for Top Social Media artist. They have also appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and have done interviews with E! News and Entertainment Tonight, and other American media outlets.
The boys from South Korea will also be going on tour soon. As Billboard reports, their 'LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF' tour begins on May 4 in Los Angeles at the Rose Bowl.

Robert Scott Thompson — 2020

Electroacoustic/Acousmatic
Pattern Language (2020) — Robert Scott Thompson — Electroacoustic Music
In his work Mapping the Unmappable, Stan Allen writes:
"In both recent and more distant history, there have been those who claim that the sense of a work of architecture, like music or poetry, resides in the design rather than the realized building. The architect's intentions, they argue, are expressed in their most direct form through notation, set down once and for all in the abstract geometries of the drawing. Others have argued that only the realized work has meaning and that the drawings are irrelevant once the work is constructed."
Electronic music composition is much like architecture. We often build from basic materials and principles. Yet, one of the features of electroacoustic music that attracts me as an artist is the unfixity of it – both as a practice, often explorative and improvisational, and as a realized objectification of sonic possibility – the interesting transformations afforded by deconstruction and reconstruction.
Over my years of working with electroacoustic resources I have often returned to the long-form conception for music of this type. The obvious parallel is instrumental symphonic music – music of large-scale extension, depth, and development. An example is The Strong Eye (1991), composed at the Danish Institute of Electroacoustic Music. This earlier composition, a suite of nine movements, combines the transformation of acoustic sounds (instrumental performances of flute, piano, 'cello, percussion, and vocal sounds) with environmental sounds and purely synthetic sounds created in various ways including frequency modulation, analysis-based additive synthesis, and physical modeling. The blending of the acoustic and the synthetic – the real and the imaginary – has been a guiding idea of a number of my works of this type.
Numerous other long-form works have followed including Solace (2012), De-Re-Construction (2015), Paradise Garden of Shiramizu Amidado (2015), Grey Blanket Drops and the World Reduced to Arm's Length (2014), Precession (2014), Parasympathetic Music (2013) and Phonotopological (2018), among others. Pattern Language is comprised of eight large sections. The form of this work has attributes that are like episodic forms that rely on the musical concept of the ritornello. Similar sonic elements, identifiable by timbre and texture rather than gesture, periodically reappear in new guises and presentations. At the heart of the concept is the notion of pattern language as expressed by urban architects such as Allen. The passage by Le Corbusier in his essay Aircraft comes to mind:
"The eye now sees in substance what the mind could only subjectively conceive; (the view from the air) is new function added to our sense; it is a new standard of measurement; it is the basis of a new sensation. Man will make use of it to conceive new aims. Cities will arise out of their ashes."
Likewise, the ear now hears in sound waves the sonic dreams of the mind, previously unvoiced by traditional methods and materials and giving rise to new aural sensations adding a new sense to the listening imagination.
From a technical point of view, Pattern Language could best be described as acousmatic. Sound elements are often obscured from their acoustic origins due to significant transformational processing and re-contextualization. All the sound sources are originally acoustic, and some of these sources are elaborated with resonance filtering techniques that imbue them with an electronic sonic tinting. While the work is created in stereo, many of the elements are spatialized on both moving sound paths and in static positions using ambisonic techniques. Tools used include Metasynth, Csound, Trajectory, Sound Particles, and Spat Revolution, among others.

...a very interesting album that will appeal to fans of avant-garde electronic and electroacoustic music...
Brownian motion — any of various physical phenomena in which some quantity is constantly undergoing small, random fluctuations, much like watching a tank full of fish. Each individual particle or fish follows a pattern, but from a macroscopic view, everything appears to be random. Robert Scott Thompson's Pattern Language is the musical equivalent of Brownian motion, 73 minutes of electroacoustic music divided into eight distinct parts that segue seamlessly. In each part the individual musical elements are constantly shifting, but give some shape to the part, Thompson takes natural and found sounds and extensively processes them so the source is unidentifiable, but the results are metallic clanging, bubbling electronics, sonic clashes, modulated voices, drones, etc. Some the of parts are amorphous while others have some structure. The constant ebb and flow of sounds has some sort of rhythm without repetitiveness, which maintains your attention through out the entire album. At times I was reminded of Popol Vuh's Affenstunde or In den Gärten Pharaos. At other times Kubrick's soundtracks to 2001: A Space Odyssey, especially Ligeti, or The Shining. Pattern Language is a very interesting album that will appeal to fans of avant-garde electronic and electroacoustic music.

MILLIONS of years ago, the ancient sages taught, man and all the kingdoms of nature existed as prototypes.
They gradually developed in the womb of Gaia, Mother Earth, gestating in their formative stage before birth onto this plane of existence.
The living spiritual prototypes were held in an invisible astral matrix, a semi-physical energy field, The Secret Doctrine explains.
This field is the astral projection of the eternal akasic field, the storehouse of all pre-evolutionary blueprints of former worlds.
As they develop the prototypical forms are likened to a living fetus suspended in the ocean of its mother's womb. There was no 'solid matter' as we know it in those developing astral times, more than 300,000,000 years ago it is taught.
Just as Earth mother nourished and birthed innumerable beings in the faraway past, the same grand evolutionary scheme is mirrored today in the differentiation of the human fetus— stages that traverse single-celled zygote, which becomes a mass of cells known as a blastocyst.
Scientists of Blavatsky's era recognized this, notably E. H. Haeckel, (mentioned by Blavatsky) who formulated a biogenetic law proposing a recapitulation theory.
Ironically the process supports both the intelligently guided evolution of occultism, and the random materialistic Darwinian model. Take your choice.
MANY millions of years ago, ancient sages taught, man and all the kingdoms of nature were in their early formative stages.
The living prototypes were held in an invisible astral matrix, a semi-physical energy field, the repository of Earth's pre-evolutionary blueprints.
There was no 'solid matter' as we know it in those astral times, more than 300,000,000 years ago.
Nevertheless, there was an active hive-mind at work behind-the-scenes, busily retrofitting the numerous forms of nature and man —preparing them to be born on Earth, guided by immutable cyclic law.
Day by day mineral, plant, animal and human kingdoms are all represented sequentially over a relatively short period as the developing fetus takes shape from a tiny egg invisible to the naked eye.
Just 12 days after fertilization, the cells destined to become the fetus turn into something else first: the embryo. By month's end, this embryo is about the size of a grain of rice, and it looks more tadpole than human, sporting a tail where legs should be.
There was also a critical cycling in Earth's development, when a relatively rapid appearance of forms occurred, "seemingly abruptly and from nowhere." Nearly all of the major phyla in the animal kingdom appeared in a sudden burst of evolution.
This was during the Cambrian explosion and is memorialized in the fossil record — a record which sorely vexed Charles Darwin with his slow, predictable, though random evolutionary theory, and still generates extensive scientific debate today.
The phenomenon represents for Theosophists, however, prima facie evidence of the universal gestation on invisible spheres, as is described by Occult evolutionary science in The Secret Doctrine.
But, according to The Secret Doctrine (2:52), "nature unaided fails," and the long period of ancient evolution was neither random or blind. On the job at the same time were highly evolved intelligent beings who assisted in transferring and reorganizing the many root-types carried over from an older system.

Iron Fist is an advanced Active Protection System (APS) that provides enhanced survivability of platforms ranging from light vehicles to heavy armored fighting vehicles.
Designed to protect soldiers and vehicles from anti-armor threats, the Iron Fist rapidly and reliably detects, tracks, and neutralizes anti-tank rockets (i.e. RPG), anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), kinetic energy and high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) round with two layers of active protection.
For optimal reliability, the system utilizes two independent sensing techniques: radio frequency (RF) and passive infra-red (IR). Upon a threat warning, a long-range soft kill electro-optical jammer engages the threat's tracking and sensing behavior. If needed, a close-range hard kill interceptor physically destroys or deflects the threat a safe distance from the defended platform. The blast interceptor effectively destroys or deflects an incoming threat with minimal fragmentation, minimizing collateral damage or injury to nearby personnel.
Open architecture enables integration with additional sensors, countermeasures and counter fire systems.

Superheroes most popular Halloween outfit for East Midlands residents
Published: 10:28 Thursday 29 October 2015
It's the scariest time of the year, but 20 per cent of people in the East Midlands are planning to dress up as superheroes this Halloween, according to a new survey.
Research carried out by discount website www.vouchercloud.com found that 73 per cent of respondents usually took part in some sort of Halloween festivities. Of those who do celebrate the annual occasion, 34 per cent spend Halloween at a house party.
And when asked what costume they were planning to wear this year, superheroes was the most popular answer from a list of possible responses, among people in the East Midlands. Thirty three per cent in the North West are planning to dress as Disney characters, while in Scotland, 24 per cent of respondents said they were planning to wear a morphsuit. Traditional Halloween outfits like zombies, skeletons and ghosts proved the most popular in the South East, West Midlands, Wales and the South West, however.
Chris Johnson, head of operations at vouchercloud.com, said: "It's been very revealing to see which costumes are most popular in different regions of the UK.
"Clearly Brits like the idea of masquerading as zombies this year, perhaps it's the effect of a certain very popular TV show!
"We'd have liked to have seen more traditionally spooky costume themes in the list though, rather than the sexy and cute outfits. Halloween is supposed to be scary, after all!"

Home County
Sen. Bob Menendez, Rep. Josh Gottheimer Work to Contain Coronavirus
by James Hickey
in County, Washington Political Breaking News
Two North Jersey political leaders are working with local medical professionals as the the coronavirus continues to spread in the U.S.
Sen. Bob Menendez on Feb. 27 called for a stronger federal response while touring a lab in North Jersey where medical officials are developing a test for the virus.
"The United States is capable of answering any challenge—so long as we have the necessary resources and strategy to succeed," said Sen. Menendez.
Developing A Test
The remarks were delivered during a tour of Hackensack Meridian Health's Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) lab, where infectious disease experts and researchers are developing a test for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
"Coronavirus is already in the U.S. and we are preparing for cases in New Jersey," said Robert C. Garrett, the chief executive officer of Hackensack Meridian Health. "We are positioning ourselves as the leader to mitigate its effects, and also develop innovations which will help in the days and weeks to come."
Two diagnostic tests for the coronavirus have been developed at the CDI lab, one recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the other by scientists in Germany. Once the diagnostics are tested with a live sample of the virus, Hackensack Meridian hospitals will be able to test individuals experiencing symptoms on-site instead of sending samples to a CDC lab.
"Timely diagnostics are critical and we are veterans in this kind of event," said David S. Perlin, Ph.D., the chief scientific officer and senior vice president of the CDI. "Our rapid diagnostic lab has previously been part of the 2003 SARS response, and the 2009 H1N1 response—and most recently the Candida auris outbreak."
Medical Roundtable
The tour was followed on March 1 by a meeting helmed by Rep. Josh Gottheimer with health officials from Hackensack University Medical Center, New Bridge Medical Center, Holy Name Medical Center and Atlantic Health to discuss coronavirus coordination, response, and preparedness across North Jersey.
"While it is important to address the coronavirus issue on a federal level, the impact and solutions come from everyone here on the local level," said Gottheimer. "We need to make sure our hospitals and health facilities have everything they need ranging from personal protective equipment for employees, comprehensive quarantine plans, and the necessary medicine and materials to treat patients afflicted with this virus."
"As the situation continues to unfold and we learn more, it is critical now more than ever that the state's health experts collaborate and share information to respond to and mitigate this growing public health crisis," said Suraj Saggar, Chief Infectious Disease Specialist at Holy Name Medical Center. "Today's discussion with Congressman Gottheimer certainly put us on that path and we look forward to working with our elected officials and colleagues to ensure we all remain vigilant and prepared to respond to potential cases of Coronavirus in New Jersey."
Full Funding Needed
Both members of Congress advocated for more funding to combat the virus. Recently, Gottheimer pushed for a boost in federal investment to combat coronavirus and prevent the spread of the virus within the U.S., by urging Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar to request emergency supplemental appropriations from Congress.
The bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, which Gottheimer is a co-chair of, called on Congress to form a unified response after the World Health Organization raised its global spread and impact risk alert of the coronavirus to 'very high' on Feb. 28.
"It's time for the country, Congressional leadership, and the Administration, to rise above partisan political fights and come together to fight a potential outbreak of the disease here in the United States. With Americans lives on the line, this must be a bipartisan priority," the caucus stated in a press release.
Additionally, Sen. Menendez urged the Trump Administration to fully fund pandemic preparedness and response efforts in light of the global outbreak and warned its annual proposed funding cut could threaten the government's ability to effectively combat the spread of the deadly virus.
The Trump Administration proposed cuts to programs and offices that spearhead efforts to respond to this and other pandemics, including a 2020 budget proposal that cut critical pandemic response programs by nearly 20%.
Menendez wants Congress to pass the plan offered by Senate Democrats, costing $8.5 billion, going to bolster the CDC's efforts to combat the virus, vaccine research and ensure the federal government will be able to reimburse states who are devoting resources such as personnel, lab equipment and medical supplies to fight the virus.
"I will continue to use every tool at my disposal to protect the public health of New Jersey families and all Americans," he stated. "Together, we can prevent COVID-19 from turning into a full-blown public health crisis."

HomeNewsEPA takes action to address pollution violations at Kailua Wastewater Treatment Plant
(UI) — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has entered into an order on consent with the city and county of Honolulu to ensure pollutant discharge requirements are met at the Kailua Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. This order on consent will ensure that discharges from this facility to the Pacific Ocean are safe for the marine environment, and that the facility is in compliance with the Clean Water Act.
In January 2021, the facility experienced a failure at one of two biotower treatment units, causing the plant's discharge to exceed limits for bacteria. The city and county of Honolulu posted beach warning signs at the direction of the Department of Health, although beach monitoring conducted during this time period indicated that contamination did not reach nearby beaches. Additionally, the facility's discharge exceeded bacteria limits in June 2020, April 2021, and December 2021.
"This order ensures that the Kailua Treatment Plant takes steps to prevent any further bacteria exceedances in what the plant discharges into the ocean," said EPA Pacific Southwest Regional Administrator Martha Guzman. "Compliance with the Clean Water Act permit is essential to protecting the public health of Hawaiians and Hawaii's coastal waters. With our partners at Hawaii Department of Health, we at EPA will continue to provide vigilant oversight over Hawaii's wastewater plants."
The city and county of Honolulu operates the Kailua treatment plant, which treats up to 15 million gallons per day of wastewater collected from the Ahuimanu, Kaneohe, and Kailua communities. The facility is designed to release treated wastewater to the Pacific Ocean 3,500 ft offshore of the Mokapu Peninsula. The treatment plant is authorized to discharge wastewater via a Clean Water Act permit issued by the Hawaii Department of Health.
To prevent further exceedances, EPA is requiring the facility to increase monitoring for bacteria to ensure water quality is protected and the facility complies with its Clean Water Act permit; perform a condition assessment and maintenance evaluation of wastewater treatment units to prevent additional failures; and develop and implement an operations manual to optimize bacteria removal treatment.
Separately, EPA has a consent decree with the city and county of Honolulu for wastewater improvements. The consent decree was issued in 2010, and requires upgrades to the wastewater collection sewer system, reduction of spills from the sanitary sewers, and upgrades to the Sand Island and Honouliuli wastewater treatment plants.
Upgrades are required to be completed by 2035.

The story: Way back in the early 1980s, before I moved to Brooklyn, I sang with a choir that made a guest appearance at this church. I remember I didn't know where I was, as I didn't know Brooklyn at all, but that the church, obviously a former theater, was very cool. When I moved to Bed Stuy and wandered over here one day, what a pleasant surprise. There it was. It turns out that the place has quite a history, too.
The building was opened as the Cameo Theater in February of 1924. One of its unique features was its 1500 seat roof garden theater, which opened in June of 1924. A concrete screening wall and outdoor auditorium can still be seen on the roof. In 1925, the Loew's chain took over the theater and renamed it the Kameo. It remained a movie theater until 1974, after which it was sold to the church. Although it needs to have the grime of the city removed, the terra-cotta ornament is well preserved and highly unusual.
The structure of the roof theater remains as well. Inside, the church has preserved many of the original details. A British theater buff named Ken Roe was able to tour the building in 2006, and posted his photos on Flickr. Scroll down about half the page to find them. It's an unusual building, and along with the former Kings County Savings Bank across Eastern Parkway, it forms our own Deco corner in Crown Heights.
UPDATE: The owner of the property, Herman Weingarten, through his company Weinwolf Realty, had purchased the corner lot from the city. The city bought the corner property in order to build the subway station below Eastern Parkway and Nostrand Avenue. Like all theaters of this time, the Cameo had an impressive electric pipe organ installed for accompaniment of silent films, as well as assembly purposes. This one was a Robert Morton 2 manual, 4 rank organ.
Harrison Wiseman, the architect, was an accomplished theater architect. He was born in Springfield, Ohio, and lived from 1878 to 1945. His career was mostly in NYC, where he designed theaters and other buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn. He designed 22 theaters in New York City, some of them important pieces of New York's cultural history. Unlike some theater architects, he did not have a specific style and could adapt his buidings well to his client's needs and the surrounding neighborhood.

Decision conferences
Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)
Six European clinical neurologists met in December 2015 to finish and validate a model initially constructed by Merck KGaA staff of the benefit-safety balance of six RRMS drugs. The clinicians considered seven favourable effects and 11 unfavourable effects, which are listed and defined in the Effects Table at the bottom of this page.
The six drugs are listed here, with figures that represent the benefit-safety balance of each. Green figures indicate the best benefit-safety balance; Red the worst. Dimethyl fumarate and cladribine show the best benefit-safety balance.
1. Dimethyl fumarate 63
2. Cladribine 62
3. Natalizumab 56
4. Alemtuzumab 56
5. Teriflunomide 49
6. Fingolimod 48
The numbers are preference values out of 100, which take into account available data for the effects and judgements by the experts about the clinical relevance of the effects. They do not take account of contra-indications, interactions with other drugs, or any precautions.
Reductions in the frequency of MS symptoms define each drug's favourable effects, and frequencies of side effects are classed as unfavourable effects. The breakdown of the preference values into those two categories is shown in the following table. The weighted sum of the two figures for each drug gives its overall benefit-safety balance.
Bar graphs after the 49-51 weight is applied show the separate contribution of benefits and safety to the total. Note, for example, that alemtuzumab is best for benefits but worst for safety.
Another way to look at the benefit and safety information is to show each drug's two figures from the above table (before the benefit-safety trade-off is considered) in a 2-D plot.
This figure facilitates comparisons of the drugs. The top rating of dimethyl fumarate reflects more of its safety than its benefits, whereas cladribine is nearly as safe but a little higher in benefits.
Note that both dimethyl fumarate and cladribine are better at this level of analysis for safety and benefits than fingolimod, and their benefits outweigh teriflunomide's slight advantage in safety. It is clear that 1, 2, 3 and 4 are nearly on a straight line; more benefit means less safety.
All the above is based the Effects Table below, which is based on data culled from available public sources, and on experts' judgements about the clinical relevance of the data. To support patient-oriented prescribing based on the evidence, green shading identifies the best drug for each favourable effect while red shows the worst drug for each unfavourable effect.
* (1) oral vs iv, (2) few or many doses, (3) monitoring during administration (Y or N) and (4) Co-administration of other drugs (Y or N). Bold Face means preferred.
AR=adverse reaction; AV=atrioventricular; EDSS=expanded disability status scale; Gd+=gadolinium enhanced; PML=progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

'Alive' is an original large hummingbird painting by British artist Sian Storey. A chunky sized canvas at 80 x 80cm and 4.5cm deep, Sian used acrylic and spray paint to create this beautiful and vivid painting.
The exuberant colours of teal blue, seafoam green and electric pinks really sing on this vivid and unique canvas. The background has deliberately been kept white to create contrast, showing the shape and movement of this majestic hummingbird, one of Sian's favourite creatures.
'Alive' celebrates colour, as well as the beauty and movement of birds which is a constant theme in Sian's artwork.
This large vibrant canvas is full of energy, the rich hues and delicate brush strokes describe the texture of the feathers whilst the spray mists add an ethereal quality to the piece.
'Alive' was painted in Sian Storey's studio in leafy Hampshire. Using acrylics and spray paint, you'll see detailed, delicate brushwork and beautiful mists of spray paint.
Sian paints in layers, as seen in the rich acrylic paint of the wings and feathers. The spray paint is used to diffuse edges and lines, creating a hazy, dreamy finish.
'Alive' would be a vibrant and unique addition to any home thanks to its tropical colour scheme.


Department of Aerospace Engineering graduate student Syed Hasan recently received NASA's Space Flight Awareness (SFA) Silver Snoopy Award. According to NASA, the SFA Silver Snoopy Award is the "astronauts' personal award" granted to individuals who make outstanding contributions related towards human flight safety or toward enhancing mission success.
Astronaut Anna Lee Fisher (left) was on hand to present Hasan (right) the Silver Snoopy during an award ceremony held at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
Hasan currently works for Honeywell and serves as the Lead Collision Avoidance Engineer for the Earth Observing System missions (Terra, Aqua and Aura) at NASA Goddard. He was nominated for the Silver Snoop for his dedication, commitment and outstanding support to the Space Flight program while working in the Flight Dynamics Facility as the Human Space Flight lead.
According to a Honeywell news story, Hasan played a major role in the success of the early SpaceX Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) Demo Flights. He developed a process improvement in tracking the unmanned SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft during re-entry which created a more efficient way to process SpaceX-provided trajectory data. In turn, this yielded better tracking and communication with the spacecraft on re-entry. Post mission, SpaceX reported highly improved tracking results and expressed their pleasure with the performance of the new support method.
NASA has previously recognized Hasan's outstanding work. In 2008, he received both the SFA Honoree Award, one of the highest awards presented to NASA and industry for first-level management, and the Space Flight Awareness Team Award.
Hasan is working towards completing his Ph.D. in the field of Space Systems under the advisement of Associate Professor David Akin. He completed both his M.S. ('10) and B.S. ('04) at Maryland.
The NASA Silver Snoopy award consists of a silver "Snoopy" lapel pin flown during a NASA mission, a commendation letter and a signed certificate. Hasan's pin flew aboard a 2006 Space Shuttle Mission to the International Space Station.

DENR to destroy P420-M worth of seized elephant tusks
Created on Monday, 10 June 2013 21:04
Published on Monday, 10 June 2013 21:04
Written by Filipino Express
QUEZON CITY, June 10 -- The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is set to destroy about five tons of confiscated elephant tusks estimated to be worth US$10 million or roughly P420 million in support of global effort to end the illegal trade of wildlife species.
DENR Secretary Ramon J.P. Paje in a statement said the seized ivory tusks will be crushed by a road roller and burned in the presence of foreign experts and anti-ivory trade advocates on June 21 at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in Quezon City.
"Our decision to destroy these ivory tusks that entered the country illegally is to show to the whole world that the Philippines will not tolerate illegal wildlife trade," Paje said.
The destruction of the ivory tusks is one of the highlights of the national celebration of June as Environment Month.
In 1989, the Geneva-based Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), to which the Philippines is a signatory, banned the buying and selling of ivory to combat a massive illegal trade that caused dramatic declines in elephant populations throughout most of Africa in the 1970s and 1980s.
Elephants are listed in Appendix 1 of CITES, which means they are highly endangered, and are banned from international trade. CITES said the high demand for ivory found in elephant tusks drives the killing of the animal, especially in Africa.
CITES is an international agreement adopted in March 1973 to regulate worldwide commercial trade in wild animal and plant species. It earlier reported that the current black market price for ivory is $2,000 per kilogram.
In 1997, the Conference of Parties of CITES has included the Philippines as one of nine countries of priority of concerns as regard illegal ivory trade, particularly its role as a trade route and transit country for elephant tusks.
The other eight are Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, which are considered as major sources of ivory in illicit trade; China and Thailand as destinations of illegal ivory; and Hong Kong, Malaysia and Vietnam as trade routes and transit countries.
The DENR's Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB) has been designated as the country's CITES Management Authority pursuant to Republic Act No. 9247, or the Wildlife Resource Conservation and Protection Act.
Those who are expected to witness the destruction of confiscated elephant tusks are representatives from the CITES Secretariat, the Nairobi-based Lusaka Agreement Task Force led by its chairman Bonaventure Ebayi, the National Geographic Africa, and member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Top executives from the Department of Justice and law enforcement agencies such as the National Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Customs, National Intelligence Coordinating Agency and the Philippine National Police were also invited to attend the event.
Secretary Paje will keynote the event, with messages from the representatives of the Lusaka Agreement Task Force and CITES Secretariat. Lawyer Bryan Christy, an investigative journalist of National Geographic, on the hand, will give a presentation entitled, "Battle for Elephant: the Global Ivory Trade." (DENR)

Books & Essays
David Feldman has been Director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Antisemitism since it was established in 2010. He is also a Professor of History at Birkbeck.
His current research deals with the history of Jews in Britain and with the history of antisemitism. He is especially interested in the history of ideas concerning the similarities and differences between Jews and non-Jews and how these changed over time.
In addition to his work on Jewish history, David has published extensively on the history of migration and immigration in Britain from 1600 to the present. He has written on systems of immigration control, migrants and entitlement to welfare, the long history of multiculturalism and Islamophobia.
David is actively engaged in research which addresses public policy. He led a pan-European research project exploring antisemitism in Europe. His expertise has been sought by EU and international institutions including the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe (OSCE), the United Nations and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as well as by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Antisemitism, the Antisemitism Policy Trust and the Runnymede Trust.
He provides expertise and advice on antisemitism to a wide range of political, philanthropic and cultural organisations. His writing on the Labour Party and antisemitism has appeared in The Guardian, Financial Times, Haaretz, History Workshop Online and The Independent. Together with Ben Gidley and Brendan McGeever his assessment and analysis of the crisis appeared in The Political Quarterly.
http://www.bbk.ac.uk/history/our-staff/academic-staff/prof-david-feldman
David Feldman is currently researching and writing a book titled The Meanings of Antisemitism. Here he traces the meanings of the term 'antisemitism' – how it was used in political debate and what it was understood to be – from the nineteenth century to the present. Essays emerging from this project have appeared in the American Historical Review and Zion.
In 1994 he published Englishmen and Jews: Social Relations and Political Culture, 1840-1914. In the last decade he has returned to Jewish history and his work has followed four overlapping paths. First, he has been a pioneer of the imperial turn in Jewish historiography. In that that context he has written on the Labour Party's century-long engagement with Zionism. Second, he has explored the place of Jews in the nineteenth century 'culture wars' and, in particular, the alliance of Jews and evangelical Protestants in their struggles with nineteenth-century Catholicism. Third, he has examined nineteenth century debates on the extent and nature of the Jews' difference from non-Jews. Fourth, he addresses historical and contemporary political concerns in his research and writing on the history of boycotts and history of the concept of antisemitism.

est un daimyo de la fin de l'époque d'Edo, à la tête du domaine de Kaga.

Biographie
Nariyasu naît à Kanazawa en 1811,  du seigneur de Kaga, Maeda Narinaga. Son nom d'enfance est Katsuchiyo. Son père se retire en 1822 et transmet la position de chef de famille à Nariyasu (qui prend d'abord le nom d'adulte de Toshiyasu, 利康). Toutefois, Narinaga conserve le contrôle des affaires du domaine jusqu'à sa mort en 1824. En particulier, Nariyasu devient plus tard le premier seigneur de Kaga depuis Toshitsune à détenir le titre de cour de haut rang de chūnagon (« conseiller du milieu », 中納言). Après la mort de son père, Nariyasu prend le contrôle personnel du gouvernement de Kaga et met en œuvre une politique de réforme domaniale. Il est initialement favorable à une politique conservatrice, mais après l'arrivée du commodore Perry à Uraga, est partisan actif des politiques libérales et de la modernisation militaire dans son domaine de Kaga. Dans le cadre de cette politique, il fonde le chantier naval de Nanao (Nanao gunkanjo, 七尾軍艦所).

Nariyasu est impliqué dans l'essentiel de la politique centrée à Kyoto durant la période instable du bakumatsu. Il confie une partie de l'armée de Kaga à son frère et héritier adopté, Maeda Yoshiyasu, qui prend part à la défense du palais impérial pendant l'incident Kinmon de 1864. Cependant, Yoshiyasu n'engage pas vraiment le combat et après la défaite, choisit de fuir à Kyoto. Nariyasu, furieux, place Yoshiyasu  sous kinshin (à l'isolement), et ordonne aux deux karō de Kaga, Matsudaira Daini et Ōnoki Nakasaburō, de commettre seppuku. En accord avec Honda Masahito, gardien du château, il limite également les activités des samouraï pro-Sonnō jōi à la jōkamachi (ville-château) du domaine de Kaza, à savoir Kanazawa. Il se retire en 1866 et son frère Yoshiyasu lui succède, mais il conserve le contrôle personnel du domaine, avançant très prudemment vers des relations plus étroites avec les domaines de Satsuma et Chōshū. Sous la direction de Nariyasu, le domaine de Kaga se range à leur côté lors de la guerre de Boshin et prend part à l'action militaire de l'armée impériale dans la campagne d'Echigo.

En 1863, il fait construire la Seisonkaku à Kanazawa dans la préfecture d'Ishikawa comme maison de retraite pour sa mère .

Nariyasu meurt en 1884 à l'âge de 72 ans ; il est enterré dans la préfecture d'Ishikawa.

They announced their findings Thursday in Ottawa.
UWO researchers investigated the "gut-brain" connection after many parents of autistic children reported significant improvements in the behaviour of their autistic children when they modified their diet, eliminating dairy and wheat products, Dr. Derrick MacFabe, the director of a research group at UWO in London, Ont., told CBC News Thursday.
Researchers were particularly interested in one dietary characteristic the autistic children seemed to exhibit, he said.
"Certainly, a lot of these children had peculiar cravings for high-carbohydrate foods that caused their behaviours," he said.
The bacteria produce propionic acid, a short chain fatty acid, which in addition to existing in the gut, is commonly found in bread and dairy products, MacFabe said.
To test their hypothesis that diet plays a part in generating autistic behaviour, UWO scientists administered the compound to rats' brains.
"They immediately engaged in bouts of repetitive behaviour, hyperactivity and impaired social behaviours which had close similarity to what parents are seeing with autism," MacFabe said.
When the rats' brains were examined later, they were found to have inflammatory processes similar to those in the brains of autistic children, he said.
It's remarkable that a simple compound like propionic acid would have such a dramatic effect on "normal" animals, he said.
MacFabe said his research team, and scientists at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont., and Harvard University, are now conducting screening studies looking at effects of dietary changes in the general population.
Treating a child's health should be the first step in addressing autism, Herbert said, rather than solely focusing on behavioural therapy, currently a mainline approach.
Parents should watch their children closely to determine what foods trigger reactions and to consider removing those triggers, she said.

Q: AS3 text linkage to xml I was testing various ways for linkage dynamic scrolling text and xml file I wanted to put on stage double text sliders each of them will fetch different data from xml file but getting random error here is the code:
//SCROLLING SPEED
var scrolling_speed:int = 2;
var scrolling_speed2:int = 4;
//TEXT TO SCROLL
var text_to_scroll:String = "www.posta.ba";

var xmlLoader: URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myData: XML;
var myItems: XMLList;
var position: uint;
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("text0.xml"));

function onComplete(e : Event): void{
    myData = new XML(URLLoader(e.currentTarget).data);
    myItems = myData..item;
}

//establish the field
var my_text:TextField = new TextField();
var mySmallTextField:TextField = new TextField();
//add the field to stage
addChild(my_text);
addChild(mySmallTextField);
//set the text
my_text.text = text_to_scroll;
mySmallTextField.text = text_to_scroll;
//set the x coord off right side of stage
my_text.x = stage.stageWidth;
mySmallTextField.x = stage.stageWidth;
//set y coord in middle of stage (about)
my_text.y = (stage.stageHeight/1)-(my_text.height/2.5);
mySmallTextField.y = (stage.stageHeight/1)-(my_text.height/1.7);
//not selectable
my_text.selectable = false;
mySmallTextField.selectable = false;
//no border
my_text.border = false;
mySmallTextField.border = false;
//field scales with more text
my_text.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
mySmallTextField.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;

//set a format

var mySmallTextField_format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();

//set the color to the hex
my_text_format.color = 0x000000;
mySmallTextField_format.color = 0x000000;
//set the font size
my_text_format.size = 28;
mySmallTextField_format.size = 22;
//set the font face
my_text_format.font = "Futura Md BT";
mySmallTextField_format.font = "Futura Md BT";
//apply formatting
my_text.defaultTextFormat = my_text_format;
my_text.setTextFormat(my_text_format);
mySmallTextField.defaultTextFormat = mySmallTextField_format;
mySmallTextField.setTextFormat(mySmallTextField_format);

//add the listener to scroll
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onMoveTexts);

//scroll function
function onMoveTexts(e:Event):void {
    my_text.x-=scrolling_speed;
    mySmallTextField.x-=scrolling_speed2;
    if(my_text.x<-my_text.width){
        my_text.x=stage.stageWidth;
    }

    if(mySmallTextField.x<-mySmallTextField.width){
        mySmallTextField.x=stage.stageWidth;
    }

        //Set next text
        if(++position >= myItems.length()){
            position = 0;
        }
        my_text.text = myItems[position];
        mySmallTextField.text = myItems[position];
    }

And xml file(text0) which I grab text from looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<data>

    <news>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 1]]></item>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 2]]></item>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 3]]></item>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 4]]></item>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 5]]></item>
        <item><![CDATA[Text for news 6]]></item>
    </news>

    <anotherData>
            <info><![CDATA[Text for small sized text]]></info>
    </anotherData>
</data>

A: You have several problems in your code:
You don't wait for XML, and start ENTER_FRAME with access to myItems
There is no sense in additional information in the XML, because you apply same texts to the both fields.
function onMoveTexts(e:Event):void {
    my_text.x -= scrolling_speed;
    mySmallTextField.x -= scrolling_speed2;
    if (my_text.x < -my_text.width) {
        my_text.x = stage.stageWidth;

        if (myItems != null) {
            //Set next text
            if (++position >= myItems.length()) {
                position = 0;
            }
            my_text.text = myItems[position];
        }
    }

    if (mySmallTextField.x < -mySmallTextField.width) {
        mySmallTextField.x = stage.stageWidth;
        if(myData != null){
            mySmallTextField.text = myData.anotherData.info;
        }
    }
}

Or start your loop after you get XML:
function onComplete(e:Event):void {
    myData = new XML(URLLoader(e.currentTarget).data);
    myItems = myData..item;

    //add the listener to scroll
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onMoveTexts);
}

H.A. Callum is the author of the new novel Whispers in the Alders. He is based in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for Whispers in the Alders, and for your characters Aubrey and Tommy?
A: I'm not unlike other writers in that I've had this story in the back of my mind for some time. It just wouldn't go away, and I knew it had to be told.
I remembered a few alder trees from my childhood that grew along a riverbank, and how the catkins would cling to the branches long into winter, like skeletal fingers. The entire town of Alder Ferry was designed around that thought, and how the alder trees could come to symbolize a friendship that could survive nearly anything.
Tommy and Aubrey were originally both male, and best friends. But I realized after a few takes at outlining that it had to be different. In the end, I kept Tommy as the shy, bookish kid from Alder Ferry, and introduced Aubrey into the mix.
The daughter of a corporate executive that came to oversee the dismantling of the last-standing manufacturing plant in Alder Ferry, Aubrey was the perfect character to balance out Tommy's meekness through her strength, resolve, and fearlessness.
Q: How important is setting to you in your writing?
A: I think it's very important, especially in stories like Whispers in the Alders that are carried by the relationships of the characters. Setting can ground the reader, giving them a sense of time and place that allows the action to develop. I also found that it lends identity to the story.
I considered a few major cities and their outlying suburbs as the setting for Whispers in the Alders, but in the end settled with the fictional town of Alder Ferry. Part of that reason was to allow readers to identify with the setting.
I wanted readers that could personally understand what Aubrey and Tommy experienced to say, "This could be my town," making for a more intimate reading experience.
Q: How was the book's title chosen, and what does it signify for you?
A: The original working title was The Alder Retreat. But it wasn't signifying to me what the story was all about. The alder stand is far more than a place that Aubrey and Tommy escaped to from the challenges of their lives.
It was a place where they met in secret and could be themselves. It was a place that heard all their laughter and sorrows, a place where they could express their emotions with no fear of retribution from the outside world.
Later in the story the true significance of the book's title is made known to readers. That revelation is among my favorite moments in the book.
Q: Did you know how the novel would end before you started writing it, or did you make many changes along the way?
A: In the very early stages I had Tommy escaping Alder Ferry via a study abroad opportunity in London, and although he escaped, the outcome was anything but happy. That is very far off from the ending I arrived at.
When the writing began to take shape, I knew how the book had to end. A couple weeks into writing the first draft I outlined the closing scenes of the book, which of course were tweaked here and there, but for the most part remained true to the final copy.
A: I always have several writing projects going at once! Right now, I'm working on another contemporary literary novel inspired by the current state of social affairs here in the United States. I'm very excited about this one! I also have several new poems out on submission, and I am considering a poetry collection, too.
A: There will be plenty going on this summer to support the release of Whispers in the Alders – be sure to check my social media links and website for updates!
I just want to say in closing that none of this would be possible without the entire community of artists, authors, and writers who have supported me and my work. I'm overwhelmed with the positive reception that Whispers in the Alders has received in the days leading up to its release.
It's been a pleasure speaking with you today, Deborah! My thanks again for helping to spread the word about Whispers in the Alders!
