North West Company from The Columbia Encyclopedia, 6th ed.
North West Company, fur-trading organization in North America in the late 18th and early 19th cent.; it was composed of Montreal trading firms and fur traders.
After the conquest of Canada by the British, which was formalized by the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the French traders from Montreal and the coureurs de bois were gradually supplanted, more or less, in the fur trade by Scotsmen. Many of these new traders allied themselves with the French already in the country, and vigorous partnerships sprang up. The Montreal men contested control of the trade in the North with the Hudson's Bay Company, and they extended trade to the West rapidly and efficiently. There were, however, too many conflicting interests in the fields, and the competition not only took all profit out of the trade but also led to bloodshed.
The Montreal merchants who supplied the traders and the traders themselves sought to do away with some of the evils by forming in 1779 a company of sorts; this was later renewed, then abandoned. A new effort was made when a number of Montreal merchants under the leadership of Simon McTavish made an agreement in the winter of 1783–84 that created a company called the North West Company. There was some dissension, and the firm of Gregory and McLeod put up strong opposition. It was not until 1787 that a stable combination was reached. The stockholders were the trading companies of Montreal (which had many interests besides the fur trade and retained their separate existence) and the "wintering partners," the men who did all the actual trading for fur with the Native Americans.
The traders were, for the most part, active and aggressive, and they made much more headway than the Hudson's Bay Company men. The Northwesters, as they were called, broke new territory for the trade in the West and did not hesitate to try to take the trade even in the vicinity of Hudson Bay. The older company was stirred into some action, and there was an increasingly sharp rivalry. This was not serious, however, until after the Hudson's Bay Company became dominated by Lord Selkirk.
The younger company, meanwhile, was split by dissension, brought on chiefly by the hostility between two important figures in the company, McTavish and Sir Alexander Mackenzie. Mackenzie became (1802) the chief figure in a rival company created c.1798 and usually called the XY Company. This opposition disappeared after the death of McTavish in 1804; Mackenzie's men were reunited with the Northwesters.
To the North West Company is due some of the glory of Mackenzie's earlier voyages to the Arctic (1789) and Pacific (1792–93) oceans. The geographer David Thompson was in the company's employ when he did most of his valuable work, and other explorers, such as Alexander Henry, the younger, were Northwesters.
The company pushed its business into the territory of the United States and met with little opposition except from John Jacob Astor. The Southwest Company, established in 1811, was practically, although not actually, a combination of Astor and North West Company interests; this association was disrupted by the War of 1812. On the Pacific Northwest coast, which was largely explored by Northwesters, Astor was also a rival, but the American post, Astoria (see Astoria2), was sold to the North West Company during the War of 1812 by Astor employees sympathetic to the British; however, it helped establish a U.S. claim to the Pacific Northwest.
After 1810 the rivalry between the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company grew in intensity and became a problem for the British government. The conflict over the Red River Settlement led to virtual warfare between the companies, and the final solution was the union of the two companies in 1821. The name of the older company was kept and there was no longer a North West Company. In the united company, however, the personnel was predominantly of the Northwestern stamp, and the spirit of the company was that of the vigorous North West Company.

He didn't give us a price yet, but he is going to look at the area to get a better idea of what houses are selling for. We also went over the property lines of the house we want to buy. It's a builder that owns it and he has tried to divide it up to get more homes built out of the area. The property line cuts the backyard pretty short. So the realtor is meeting with the builder today to show him what we propose.
The realtor told us there has been a LOT of interest in the house we want. That just makes my stomach hurt. But I need to trust God that it will happen if it's meant to be. Right? Right! I need to keep praying about that one.
So, I thought I would show a makeover I did a while back.
I wanted a nice wood locker system like I had seen in the pages of Pottery Barn. But that was too expensive of an option and I didn't know the first thing about wood-working/building back then. (not that I know a whole lot now).
I cleaned them up the best I could. Wiped them down and swept them out. Then I covered the handles and the number plates with tape. I bought some green glossy spray paint ($5) and sprayed away.
This is how they look now- My kids love them and so do I!
I will share more news of the house selling process as it happens!


More drawings!! :):) I hope you like them!

Located on the narrowest part of Merritt Island, the Old Haulover Canal linked the Mosquito Lagoon on the east with the Indian River on the west. In 1854, the federal government spent $5,000 to construct the canal based upon an investigation by Lieutenant Wright. The canal was located at this point as it served as a traditional crossover point for travel down the inland waterway and, until its construction, cargo was carried across the island and then loaded on boats which continued southward. The canal was 3 feet deep and 10 to 14 feet wide and was constructed by the slaves of a local citrus grower. The Old Haulover Canal was abandoned in 1884 when the new Haulover Canal was constructed nearly a mile to the north. In the 30 years of its use, the Old Haulover Canal served as an important transportation link in Florida's inland water way system.

Comptroller: Number of NYC jobless largest since '92
By Daniel Massey
More than 400,000 New York City residents are currently unemployed, the highest number since July 1992, according to an analysis of state Department of Labor data released Monday by City Comptroller William Thompson.
But the recession's force has hit an even wider group than that—some 170,000 New Yorkers were involuntarily working part-time in the first half of 2009, an increase of 70% from the year earlier, the comptroller said.
"Unemployment and underemployment are causing many New Yorkers to suffer immensely during this recession," the comptroller wrote.
Underemployment in the city has particularly affected women, who accounted for a majority of the increase in involuntary part-time work, the comptroller said. It was not immediately clear why women were hit so hard, though Mr. Thompson said it was probably related to the mix of industries and occupations in the city.
While the number of unemployed who have been without work for fewer than five weeks decreased in the second quarter from the previous one, the number of New Yorkers unemployed for 15 to 26 weeks skyrocketed 212%, to nearly 100,000. Some 130,000 New Yorkers have been unemployed and searching for work for more than six months, up 128% over last year.
After outpacing other racial and ethnic groups in unemployment growth in the first quarter, the number of African-Americans who were unemployed decreased from the first quarter to the second quarter. But rather than being good news, the decrease could be attributed to workers becoming discouraged at their job prospects and giving up their search, Mr. Thompson said.
That would seem to agree with figures released by the Fiscal Policy Institute last week, which showed that, including those who have given up looking for work and those involuntarily working part time, the African-American male unemployment rate is 26.9%.
The city's overall unemployment rate climbed to 9.6% last month, topping the national unemployment rate for the first time since November 2007.

Міжнародна школа — навчальний заклад, який надає середню освіту та сприяє розвитку міжнародної освіти в міжнародному освітньому середовищі і надає своїм випускникам можливості легко інтегруватися у навчальні заклади або у суспільства інших держав, інших регіонів світу та/або інших світових культур за рахунок:
 отримання знань, умінь і навичок на рівні загальноприйнятих у світі навчальних програм та на рівні їх вимог;
 знань про суспільні відносини, технологічний рівень розвитку, звичаї та культуру інших регіонів світу;
 знань та розуміння глобальних, міжнародних та регіональних проблем;
 досвіду та вмінь орієнтуватися і ефективно знаходити, аналізувати та оцінювати доступну інформацію із різних джерел;
 знань декількох іноземних мов і уміння вільно спілкуватися;
 прищепленої і вихованої внутрішньої потреби поважати, шанувати інші народи та їх культури, співпереживати і турбуватися їхніми проблемами.

Такі завдання міжнародних шкіл досягаються шляхом:
 прийняття навчальних програм тих держав, в які планується інтегрування випускників чи учнів, наприклад, у разі їх переїзду;
 або:
 прийняття загальновідомих та апробованих міжнародних навчальних програм і планів як, наприклад, International Baccalaureate (),  (), Cambridge International Examinations () та ін.;
 або:
 розроблення і прийняття міжнародної національної навчальної програми, що враховує вищенаведені аспекти, і, як правило, відрізняється від національних навчальних програм за місцем розташування міжнародної школи.

Для можливості світового визнання такі школи проходять процедури акредитації та/або авторизації різними авторитетними міжнародними органами, як наприклад, Рада міжнародних шкіл, International Baccalaureate, Північно-східна Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges та ін.

Зазвичай, такі школи відкривають для учнів, батьки яких не є громадянами держави проживання чи перебування, наприклад, діти зарубіжних дипломатів, співробітників посольств, працівників підприємств міжнародного бізнесу, міжнародних організацій чи місій або місіонерських програм тощо. Разом із тим, у таких школах також навчаються місцеві учні для того, щоб вивчити та опанувати іноземні мови, здобути знання на рівні міжнародних навчальних програм і міжнародних вимог та отримати кваліфікаційний рівень і свідоцтва про отриманий освітній рівень, які надають можливість отримати роботу чи здобути вищу освіту у навчальних закладах інших країн. Окрім цього, вони створюють доброзичливу атмосферу і сприяють адаптації учнів-іноземців.

Першу міжнародну школу було відкрито у Женеві для дітей працівників Ліги Націй та Міжнародної організації праці 17 вересня 1924 зусиллями керівництва цих установ та видатних педагогів Адольфа Фер'єра і Елізабет Роттен. На той час у школі навчалось вісім учнів.

Джоанн МакПайк у 2010 році започаткувала унікальну глобальну «мандрівну» міжнародну школу-інтернат для учнів старших класів THINK Global School, яка протягом навчального року переїжджає принаймні до чотирьох різних країн світу. Протягом трьох років навчання учні школи встигають повчитися у дванадцяти міжнародних школах світу. Особливістю школи є те, що для навчання використовуються не тільки навчальні класи чи аудиторії приймаючої сторони, а і, в першу чергу, історичні та географічні місця, музеї, храми та святині, природне середовище, включаючи і підводний світ тієї країни, яка їх приймає. Перший навчальний семестр розпочався у Швеції. На той час у школі навчалось 15 учнів з 11-ти країн.

Основні особливості міжнародних шкіл
На конференції в Італії у 2009 році Міжнародна асоціація шкільного бібліотекознавства запропонувала перелік критеріїв для опису міжнародних шкіл, у тому числі:
 Неперервність процесу здобуття освіти у разі зміни школи у системі міжнародних шкіл (трансферентність процесу навчання та його результатів);
 Плинність і змінність учнівського контингенту, яка суттєво вища, ніж у державних чи загальноосвітніх школах;
 Багатонаціональність та багатомовність учнівського контингенту;
 Міжнародний навчальний план;
 Міжнародна акредитація;
 Плинність кадрів і багатонаціональність викладацького персоналу;
 Відсутність відбору під час прийому та зарахування учнів;
 Зазвичай, англійська або французька мова навчання, а також, зобов'язання приймати принаймні одну додаткову мову.

Навчальні програми
Значна частина міжнародних шкіл представляє якусь конкретну країну, як наприклад, «Shanghai Japanese School» (), «The British School of Milan» (), «The British International School in the Ukraine» (), «Deutsche Schule Kiew» (), «Российско-украинская гуманитарная гимназия» () та ін. Такі школи зазвичай застосовують навчальні програми тих країн чи регіонів, які вони представляють. У цих випадках свідоцтва про отриманий освітній рівень чи документи про стан засвоєння навчальної програми визнаються як у тій державі, яку дана школа представляє, так і у державі, на території якої така школа розташована.

Разом із тим, є такі школи, які не представляють конкретних країн, а є дійсно «інтернаціональними». У таких школах застосовують визнані у світовому співтоваристві міжнародні навчальні програми. Найбільш загальновизнаними і поширеними є програми «IB World School» (). Загалом, у системі міжнародного бакалаврату пропонуються чотири програми:
 «Primary Years Programme»;
 «Middle Years Programme»;
 «Diploma Programme»;
 «Career-related Programme», які розвивають інтелектуальні, особистісні, емоційні та соціальні навички, необхідні для того, щоб жити, вчитися і працювати у сучасному суспільстві, яке швидко глобалізується. Як і у будь-якій із освітніх програм, передбачається вивчення словесності, математики, природничих і гуманітарних наук, інформаційних технологій і технологій проектування, а також, фізичної підготовки.

Навчання за цими чи за іншими загальновизнаними програмами дозволяє отримати свідоцтво про здобутий освітній рівень, яке приймається і визнається не тільки у одній конкретній державі, а у світовому співтоваристві.

Кожна школа, яка хоче мати статус міжнародної, та пропонувати своїм учням будь-яку із вищенаведених програм, повинна отримати на це право від розробника і власника програм — некомерційного освітнього фонду «International Baccalaureate®» чи від іншої установи — у разі обрання інших загальноприйнятих міжнародних освітніх програм від інших розробників.

The Secret History of Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling
by Winepisser | Feb 14, 2016 | Full Article | 0 comments
Many a wine enthusiast has, by dint of marriage or poor selection of friends, unwittingly found themselves in one of America's multitude of lackluster slop houses, such as Olive Garden, Red Lobster or Dumpster Don's Steakhouse of Horrors, and there, perusing the wine list so as to kill time while his fellows order oil-soaked exploded onions and sodium-dipped alas de aves, found his palate clench like an anxious anus trembling before an overeager proctologist, when confronted with four words that bring terror to any oenophile:
Chateau. Ste. Michelle. Riesling.
Indeed, in some cultures where the latitude is southwards and the people speak in a tongue lost for millennia, the words are uttered to summon the dead to avenge the living, or to curse the crops of enemy invaders. Few know that these were the final words of the dying Aleister Crowley, overheard as "shato san t'mishel rees ling" and misinterpreted for decades, until their mystery was unconfounded by the contemporary mystic Bobby Flay. The truth emerged, and it was understood that Crowley, the Beast 666, was attempting to evoke pure evil in order to stave off the inevitable endless black sleep. But like the lie that is the label of the wine, the sinful words betrayed Crowley, and merely sucked him to Hell that much faster.
The dread projected by the Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling became known to all, and even now populates modern cinema. In the James Cameron film Aliens, it was not because of the threat of chest-bursting or double-jawed face-biting that made the trapped colonists on LV-426 beg the Colonial Marines to "kill me!", rather it was because prior to being captured by the Xenomorphs, they had run out of food and were forced to drink CSM, and the foul swill was still making its way through their bowels. Mercy killing, indeed, and any hero could do no less than to spare them their torture, and grant them a quick death, whether by bootknife or grenade launcher.
But few know the true history of Chateau Ste. Michelle, nor how its grey scum came to sit on the menu of every goddamn restaurant in the USA, even in goddamn restaurants that don't even have menus, and even in goddamn restaurants that don't doors or chairs or gravity. So ubiquitous is the lymphatic goo of Woodinville WA, it was recently discovered that printing companies just automatically add "Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling" to any menu they print, just to save time, and that's why you even see it on the kids' menus at Chuck E. Cheese and the drive-thru menu at Carls Jr. Pre-printing thusly is estimated to save the US economy $3.5 billion annually.
How did this feculent spillage seep into American culture? The history is dark, unlike the color of the wine itself, which can only be described as the color of diluted, recycled garden hose water mixed with bear urine, if the bear had been raised on a lifelong diet of marshmallows and pumpkin seeds and kept alive through intravenous injection of Twinkie puree and formaldehyde.
The CSM website paints happy picture of how some idiot built a French style chateau in the middle of an American state, and then slapped a French sounding name on said American structure, and then went on to denounce wines from other countries other than America, like a hypocrite on meth. But none of it is true, and the real story comes to us only from an ancient book discovered by treasure hunters who had been seeking gold, but instead ran into something far more stupid.
A Chateau Ste Michelle worker prepares the special shoes used to press the grapes.
According to The Original Wine Journal of Alan Smithee, a handwritten collection of papers written by the winery's unknown first founder, Smithee and his band of Cherokee slave girls came upon a plot of cursed and filthy land, long abandoned due to a history of bloody battles which was said to have resulted in a the earth being permanently awash with the ghosts of angry, long-dead soldiers. This, so the story goes, ensured that nothing would ever grow here, nothing, at least, capable of human consumption. Smithee recalled seeing many birds fall dead like stones from the clouds, as they simply passed over the airspace of the place.
Motivated by poverty and need to pay for his Cherokee slave girls, Smithee was determined to make something good of the land. He attempted to plant carrots, but the earth vomited up a horde of sword-wielding skeletons instead, hungering for human blood. He then attempted potatoes, but was met with an eruption of volcanic lava mixed with the bile of Cthulhu. He then attempted grapes, in the hopes of creating a vineyard, but the grapes turned into bats, and the resulting guano dust filled the air, driving anyone who breathed it mad from cerebral infection. Thus was the origin of the phrase "batshit crazy."
Finally he met with local witch doctors, literal servants of Satan, and promised him three of his youngest children if they could somehow get grapes to grow on the land. The diabolical priests uttered incantations, threw his children into a volcano, and then urinated on his shoes, the latter step not an actual part of the ritual but just to show their disgust with Smithee himself, who was a wretched human being worthy of shoe-pissing. In return, the priests said, the next batch of grapes would grow, but they disavowed any promise of the quality of the resulting wine.
A Chateau Ste Michelle worker preps the grapes for fermentation in what is a unique winemaking process.
Sure enough, the first crop grew, smelling much like a combination of cow saliva and snake stomach, but nevertheless producing a .. thing.. one might reasonable call "wine" if one held their nose and squinted a lot.
But the foul brew could never be sold, and so Smithee again resorted to witchcraft to bargain with the Devil. This time he summoned vampire priestesses and promised his own blood in return for the ability to successfully sell his wine, but they refused, saying his blood smelled like week-old diaper juice. He then reached out to the mystic Madame Blavatsky, and asked the Ukrainian mystic to conduct a ceremony that would grant him luck in selling his wines. Blavatsky promptly died, rather than help Smithee, her last words being "I serve the Devil, but helping Smithee sell wine is too much even for me."
Finally, Smithee happened upon a tribe of wandering Romani pagans, who agreed to grant him good fortune in exchange for four of his limbs, which they required for reasons known only to them. He allowed them to sever his arms and legs, replace them with wooden sticks. and soon enough Evil Fate began swinging things Smithee's way. He began selling the awful Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling to local restaurants, and soon to other countries. Legend says that the more people who drink it, the more the Romani pagans grow in power, and many of them now hold seats of power in Starbucks, Disney, BP Oil and Comcast. They are that evil.
So you have the origin of this foulest of the foul, this horrid concoction foisted upon the world, a wine called "Riesling" only because someone typed it on a label, but which tastes more like what you might lick from the bottom of a public laundromat washing machine, if the person before you had just washed their month-old gym clothes.

Garcetti selects Michel Moore as new LAPD chief
Posted on June 7, 2018 Author Independent Wire Services	Comment(0)	52 Views
LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Police Department Assistant Chief Michel Moore has been selected by Mayor Eric Garcetti as the department's new chief, replacing the retiring Charlie Beck.
The City Council still must sign off on the selection of Moore, who has been with the department since 1981.
Garcetti was given three finalists to choose from by the Board of Police Commissioners, the civilian body that oversees the LAPD. They were Moore, San Francisco Police Chief William "Bill" Scott and Deputy LAPD Chief Robert Arcos.
"In some ways this was the most difficult decision I have faced, and one of the easiest, because I knew whoever I picked would be great for this department," Garcetti said. "In the end it was a tough decision, because I knew that Bill Scott, Bobby Arcos and Mike Moore were ready for this job, but today I am proud to announce that I am appointing Michel Moore as the 57th chief of police of the Los Angeles Police Department."
Moore was also one of the three finalists chosen by the Board of Police Commissioners back in 2009, but then-Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa chose Beck. Moore has risen through the ranks of the department as a police officer, detective, sergeant, lieutenant and captain before taking on various high-command roles. He was also placed in charge of the Rampart Division in 2000 in the aftermath of a scandal that found widespread abuse and corruption in the division.
Moore was born in Porterville, grew up in various parts of the United States and graduated from high school in Conway, Arkansas. Although he did not get into specifics, Moore referenced a difficult upbringing.
"As for who Mike Moore is, let me just say that I come from what can be described as a humble background," he said. "I've grown up across this great nation. I've seen as a young child many challenging circumstances. And what I know is I came to the department as a young man looking to make a difference, and for the past 36 years I've felt that no other profession could have given me the amount of reward that this department has. Over the coming days my story will inevitably be told more."
Beck announced earlier this year that he would retire June 27, a year and a half before his second five-year term ends. He has led the department since 2009.
The choice of the next chief carries a significant amount of symbolic weight in light of the department's troubled history on race relations, the current #MeToo movement bringing sexual harassment into the public debate, and President Donald Trump's aggressive rhetoric and actions on immigration, although Garcetti said he made the selection based on qualifications and not race or ethnicity.
Scott, who is black, was sworn in as San Francisco's police chief on Jan. 23, 2017, after 27 years at the LAPD, where he rose through the ranks to become a commander in 2012 and deputy chief of the South Bureau.
Arcos, a Latino, leads the LAPD's Central Bureau, which includes downtown and parts of northeast Los Angeles.
Moore is in charge of LAPD's patrol operations. Moore's father was Basque, and he is listed as Hispanic on LAPD rosters.
"I said from the beginning I wasn't looking to fill a demographic or make history," Garcetti said when asked by a reporter why he did not choose Arcos considering the city's large Latino population.
He added, "I wanted the best person for the job, and that's Mike Moore."
Some city leaders, including Councilman Joe Buscaino, a former LAPD officer, had called on the city to hire its first female chief after Beck announced his retirement. Sandy Jo MacArthur, who retired three years ago as an assistant chief, applied for the job but was not among the three finalists, and Assistant Chief Beatrice Girmala did not apply for the job despite being viewed by some as a potential top candidate.
When asked about his priorities, Moore first mentioned building trust in communities of color.
"The most important question of the moment may be, why do I want to be the next chief of police of this great city?" Moore said. "And it's pretty simple. I wish to continue the momentum of building trust, particularly in communities of color, and improving public safety while we build a more diverse and representative department."
The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union representing rank-and-file officers, said, "We congratulate Assistant Chief Michel Moore on being recommended as LAPD's next chief."
"We are hopeful that if Chief Moore is appointed, he will take immediate action to address low officer morale stemming from our critically low police staffing and that he will be absolutely committed to collaborating on new ideas to reduce violent crime and prepare our city for the 2028 Olympics," the league's statement added. "These are huge issues to tackle, but we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work with Chief Moore to move our department forward and improve public safety in Los Angeles."
Los Angeles City Councilman Gil Cedillo, who had openly lobbied Garcetti to select Arcos, suggested the mayor's selection would not be rubber stamped.
"Mayor Garcetti's announcement today is the first step in the selection process. We now move to the next step, consideration by the City Council," Cedillo said. "I look forward to engaging in a rigorous vetting process with my colleagues to ensure that our city and our police department's leadership reflects the best of what our city is and can be.
"As council members, we represent 15 distinct districts and know what experience is most important to our communities. It's within that framework that the council must make its decision to determine what experience matters most and who the next police chief will be."
City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell congratulated Moore on his selection.
I look forward to confirming his appointment and working closely with him to make our neighborhoods safer in the13th District," said O'Farrell, who represents part of Hollywood and Northeast Los Angeles. "His decades of experience within the LAPD will serve him well: he has a comprehensive understanding of issues related to crime and community relations, combined with a vision for the future of the department.
"I am confident in his ability to lead the women and men in uniform while employing a data-based strategy of reducing crime across our City."
Councilman David Ryu also congratulated Moore.
"After a number of hearings and community meetings with the Board of Police Commissioners, and having spoke personally with all three candidates for the post, I am confident Mike Moore will lead the 9,000 officers of the Los Angeles Police Department to the benefit and safety of all our Los Angeles communities," Ryu said.
"I thank Chief Beck for his more than 40 years of service in the department, and his courageous and thoughtful leadership which made our city safer. I look forward to working with Assistant Chief Moore on continuing community policing, expanding team outreach for those experiencing homelessness, and protecting our immigrant communities that Chief Beck made department priorities."

When Carmen Pestano '17 presented the paper, "Crises and their Impact on the Governance of Immigration" at the European Union Studies Association (EUSA) 15th Biennial Conference this spring, she exhibited the poise and expertise of any other seasoned scholar on the program.
No one would have guessed she needed a little push from her professor and co-author Dr. Carolyn Dudek, chair of the Political Science Department.
Professor Dudek and Pestano during their trip to the Canary Islands. Pestano is in the traditional garb for a festival called the Romeria of San Benito.
At graduation, Pestano would go on to win Hofstra's Undergraduate Research Award for the paper.
Four years earlier, she came to Hofstra by way of the Canary Islands, a beautiful Spanish archipelago off the coast of northwest Africa. She was recruited to play on the tennis team and had declared a political science major before ever setting foot on campus.
Pestano says she was drawn to Hofstra by its proximity to Manhattan and the fact that the University had, at that time, hosted two presidential debates.
Together they began formulating ideas for what would eventually become Pestano's thesis project. They looked to Pestano's home in the Canary Islands as well as the world's refugee crisis for inspiration.
Their research focused on how crises can impact migration policy in the European Union.
"In particular, we examined the cayuco crisis [2006-2009], when over 30,000 West African irregular migrants arrived upon the shores of the Canary Islands in large fishing boats, called 'cayucos.'" Dudek said.
To further their research, Pestano received a Firestone Fellowship, a $2,500 award granted by the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The funds allowed Pestano to travel to the Canary Islands with Dudek during the summer of 2016.
As their paper progressed, Dr. Dudek proposed that they present their findings at the annual conference of the EUSA in May, the premier scholarly and professional organization focusing on the European Union. The EUSA awarded Pestano a $500 grant to defray costs associated with the conference.
Pestano, who was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in April, also distinguished herself on the tennis team. Her 45 career singles victories rank fourth all-time and her 25 doubles wins with partner Sarah Bowen rank first on the career doubles wins list. She was a four-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athlete.
She is continuing her focus on European Studies as she pursues her graduate studies at Sciences Po, an international research university in Paris.
"I am happy to say that we are working to publish our research, so our professional relationship has not ended," Dudek said.

20 Things You Never Knew About Lethal Weapon
Us 80s kids may well be getting too old for this sh*t, but Lethal Weapon was the first fresh-faced entry in a franchise that would spawn a further three movies over the next 11 years.
And whilst we definitely enjoyed all of the sequels, it's the original 1987 movie that holds the most special place in our hearts.
So without further delay, below are 20 things that you probably didn't know about this truly classic action movie.
20. The original script was much darker and had more elaborate action sequences
According to its writer, Shane Black, the original version of the Lethal Weapon script was much darker than the movie it would become.
Black stated that his intention was to write an 'urban western', one partly inspired by a certain Clint Eastwood classic.
Inspired by 1971's Dirty Harry, the first draft of the Lethal Weapon script was also much longer at over 140 pages.
The action scenes imagined by Black at the initial scripting stage were also on a much larger scale, with a far more elaborate ending.
The early draft consisted of a chase scene with helicopters and a trailer truck full of cocaine exploding over Hollywood Hills and 'snowing' over the Hollywood sign.
Unfortunately, Black hated this initial draft and completely discarded it, although he would later return to it and build upon the original script.
19. It very nearly starred Bruce Willis instead of Mel Gibson
Reports have suggested that none other than Bruce Willis was considered for the role of Martin Riggs before Mel Gibson was cast.
This casting fact was even referenced in the 1993 Lethal Weapon spoof Loaded Weapon 1.
We see this when Willis, playing Die Hard's John McClane, appears after the movie's villains attack the wrong beach house.
In a strange coincidence, Gibson was also considered for Willis' role in Die Hard, which was also produced by Joe Silver.
Furthermore, the script for Die Hard: With a Vengeance (1995) was written as a Lethal Weapon sequel.
18. It was almost directed by Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy
After the script was purchased for $250,000 by Warner Bros, former Spock Leonard Nimoy was offered the chance to direct.
However, Nimoy was already working on Three Men and a Baby so had to turn down the offer.
He also claimed he would feel uncomfortable directing an action movie, as genre he lacked experience in.
The job was instead taken up by The Omen, The Goonies and Superman director Richard Donner.
He jumped at the chance with great enthusiasm, as he was a huge fan of the final script.
17. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover had instant chemistry
According to director Richard Donner, as soon as Mel Gibson and Danny Glover did their first read-through of the movie's script, he knew that they had found the right pair to take on the roles of Riggs and Murtaugh.
"It took about two hours and by the time we were done, I was in seventh heaven," Donner has been quoted as saying.
"They found innuendos, they found laughter where I never saw it, they found tears where they didn't exist before, and most importantly, they found a relationship, all in just one reading."
Mel Gibson had been first on board as Donner was keen to work with him after the success of Ladyhawke.
Casting director Marion Dougherty then suggested teaming Gibson up with Glover, a decision which would prove to be a wise move.
16. Gary Busey dropped 60 pounds to play a villain for the first time
Despite having been a star since his Oscar-nominated performance in 1978's The Buddy Holly Story, Gary Busey had not auditioned for any movies for a number of years.
"I had butterflies, I'd never played a bad guy. And no one had seen me since I'd lost 60 pounds and got back into shape.' Busey has since said.
'But I decided to take the initiative in order to have the opportunity to work with Dick, Joel, Mel and Danny.'
Busey has claimed he was hired because he was big enough and menacing enough to to be a viable foe for Mel Gibson.
Busey was grateful for the opportunity to star amongst such renowned actors, and credits the film for reviving his failing movie career.
15. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover spent time with real undercover police officers
After landing their roles, the pair flew home to to begin an intensive two month period of physical training and preparation.
As well as the large amount of physical training they had to undergo, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover also spent time working in the field with real-life LAPD officers.
This was so that the pair would be familiar with the special skills required by undercover cops before they started shooting the movie.
Stunt coordinator Bobby Bass used his own military experiences to bring a greater depth of understanding and inside perspective to the characters.
Technical advisers from the L.A.P.D. and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department were also on hand on the set to ensure a sense of authenticity.
14. It was nominated for an Oscar
It may not seem like the kind of movie to be nominated for an Academy Award, but Lethal Weapon was indeed close to winning its very own Oscar during the 60th awards ceremony in 1987.
The movie was nominated in the Best Sound category, alongside Empire of the Sun, RoboCop, The Witches of Eastwick.
However, the eventual winner was the well-deserving The Last Emperor.
The film's failure to secure this prestigious award did not hold it back by any way or means.
It is widely considered to be one of the best 'buddy cop' films of all time.
13. It spawned three sequels and a TV series
We suspect you're well aware that Lethal Weapon spawned three sequels (Lethal Weapon 2 in 1989, Lethal Weapon 3 in 1992 and Lethal Weapon 4 in 1998).
But did you know there was also a Lethal Weapon TV series?
Running for three series from 2016 to 2019, the TV show starred Clayne Crawford and Damon Wayans as Riggs and Murtaugh.
Crawford was later fired amidst reports of bad behaviour and his character was killed off by his father's second son.
He was replaced by Seann William Scott, who played a new character named Wesley Cole for the show's third and final series.
12. It has inspired a number of movies
Lethal Weapon is now considered to be one of the best buddy cop movies of all time.
It influenced a number of similar movies that have been made in the years that followed.
We're sure you'll agree that movies such as Tango & Cash, Bad Boys and Rush Hour all have a debt to pay to Lethal Weapon!
Let's face it, would 21 Jump Street even had been made if it weren't for Lethal Weapon?
However, surely no pairing can surpass the chemistry between Gibson and Glover, the original buddy cops.
11. A fifth entry in the franchise is on the way
There has been talk of a fifth entry in the Lethal Weapon franchise for well over a decade.
However, it wasn't until 2017 that both Mel Gibson and Danny Glover officially signed onto the project.
Called 'Lethal Weapon Finale', the movie, which is currently stuck in production limbo, will take place in the present day.
This means that Murtaugh and Riggs will be in their seventies and sixties respectively.
As the title suggests, it will most definitely be the final entry in the 32-year-old franchise!
10. Jackie Swanson performed her own high fall stunt
Jackie Swanson's impressive high fall stunt was not the work of a stunt double as you might imagine.
The actress performed this move herself, and was trained by legendary stuntman Dar Robinson.
The stunt was coordinated by using an airbag covered in a life sized image of the driveway and cars which visually blends into the real scene.
This means that the editor was able to hold the shot until just before she made contact with the airbag.
This creates a far greater sense of realism, and fully immerses the viewer in the scene.
9. There was an alternate version of the opening and ending scenes
An alternate opening and ending were both filmed and can be found on the Lethal Weapon 4 DVD.
The alternate opening consisted of Martin Riggs drinking alone in a bar when he is accosted by a couple of thugs who want his money.
Riggs claims all his money is in the bank, and in typical Riggs fashion tells the thugs "not to f**k with him".
Unfortunately, he does not manage to stop the thugs in their tracks, but Riggs subdues them with ease.
Donner, however, felt the movie should open with a more positive portrayal of Riggs and filmed the scene showing Riggs waking up in his trailer instead.
8. The actors were trained in martial arts
From the outlook, Donner wanted the final fight sequences to be as unique and accurate as possible.
Assistant director Willie Simmons also had an interest in in 'unusual forms' of martial arts, and he invited several experts to the set to perform for Donner.
Donner was blown away by the demonstration that he decided to hire three technical advisors, each adept in a particular form of martial arts.
One of the technical advisers was an expert in jailhouse rock (a collection of fighting styles that have been practiced within US penal institutions)and incorporated this into the scene.
The filming of the fight sequence was spread over four complete nights and resulted in an edited sequence which lasted several minutes on-screen.
7. In the script's first draft, the characters had dark back stories
We've already addressed how the first draft of the script was darker as a whole, but it seems both Riggs and Murtaugh had a troubled past.
In the first draft of the script, both characters would get flashbacks from their time serving in Vietnam.
This included Murtaugh recalling how he'd accidentally killed a young soldier with his bare hands during intense military training before heading into the war zone.
Riggs also remembered how great at killing he was, and reminisced over how many people he killed working as an assassin for the C.I.A.
The script also expanded on a backstory for Joshua, who, like Riggs, was also working as a C.I.A. assassin in Vietnam.
6. The Murtaughs' house can be seen in other movies
If the Murtaughs' house looks familiar to you, there is good reason for this.
The house is well known on the Warner Bros Ranch, which is also home to the fountain from Friends.
The house was originally owned by Columbia Pictures, before they merged with Warner Bros. to form the Burbank Studios.
The house and street itself can be seen on various old Columbia Pictures/Screen Gems TV series.
This includes The Partridge Family among others. The Murtaughs' house is on a street commonly referred to as 'Blondie Street'.
5. Mel Gibson refers to the movie in the Expendables 3
Gibson is a movie veteran, and has appeared in dozens of films throughout the years.
And who could resist a little name drop every now and again. Certainly not Gibson.
He makes reference to the notorious fight scene in the movie Expendables 3, telling the people he's fighting to 'kill him'.
Expendables 3 also featured Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas, both of whom worked with Donner and Silver on Assassins (1995).
Gibson also jokingly suggested that his characters Martin Riggs and Jerry Fletcher from Conspiracy Theory (1997), also directed by Donner, would be good as Expendables.
4. Riggs makes a rookie error
Of course, when making a film, it's important to get all the little details as accurate as possible.
But let's face it, who doesn't love a good movie blunder? And Lethal Weapon has quite a few!
In one scene, Riggs said he thinks about 'eating a bullet' and that he had a special 'hollow point' bullet ready for the occasion.
However, the bullet he uses earlier in the movie is not a hollow point but actually a full metal jacket round.
Furthermore, no self respecting gunman would even consider using a FMJ to commit suicide.
3. Roger Ebert played a huge part in the film's success
Roger Ebert, the film critic, was instrumental in helping the film achieve the success it would later go on to enjoy.
When reviewing it for his TV show, Ebert was enthusiastic in his appraisal.
'It thrilled me from beginning to end,' he stated, explaining that it was both a great action film and a well-written drama.
In his written review, he awarded the film four stars. Many of his fans had not been aware of the film until this point due to a limited advertisement campaign.
His appraisal encouraged others to seek out the movie, widely agreeing with him on the film's quality.
2. TV trailers showed deleted scenes from the movie
Trailers which were broadcast on the TV and in theatres show some deleted or extended scenes.
This includes Murtaugh saying 'New Partner?' after he gets thrown to the floor by Riggs on their first meeting.
There is also a scene where Riggs and Murtaugh are driving in the car when Murtaugh tells Riggs 'Don't kill anybody'.
It also features the aforementioned introduction scene where Riggs is fighting with the thugs in the bar.
There are also several deleted scenes which have never been released, much to our frustration!
1. There was one line that sold Warner Bros. on the script
Shane Black's final script was completely different from his first draft, and the studio were initially unsure.
However, luckily for Black, there was one line than immediately convinced them they had found the right man for the job.
This was a descriptive line during the sequence where Riggs tries to track down Joshua after killing the torturers.
The scene involved a car crash caused by Joshua, and there was a particular turn of phrase which sold Warner Bros. on the whole project.
This was the line 'and the cars trade paint', describing the impact of the car crash.

Q: Mount logs of mysql container in host directory I want to mount a directory from host inside mysql container so that mysql would write its logs to that directory and I would be able to access those logs from host.
For this I am using the following volume configuration:
volumes:
  - ./logs/mysql:/var/log/mysql

But as pointed out in this answer, there are permission issues between host user and container user. The solution there was to use named volumes, but what I want is to access those logs on host in a convenient directory. Not inside internal directories of docker.

A: So I ran the default image and made few observations

*

*By default the log files are not created at all in /var/log/mysql. This is because the default my.cnf has the error-log settings commented

*You need to create your own config file to add these settings and map them inside /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d

*The /entrypoint.sh does change the permissions on /var/lib/mysql but not on /var/log/mysql
So to fix the issue you add a test.cnf file with below content
[mysqld]
log-error   = /var/log/mysql/error.log
general_log  = /var/log/mysql/log_output.log

And update your docker-compose with below settings
version: '2'

services:
  mysql:
    image: mysql:latest
    volumes:
      - ./logs:/var/log/mysql
      - ./test.cnf:/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/test.cnf
    environment:
      MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: root
    entrypoint: ""
    command: bash -c "chown -R mysql:mysql /var/log/mysql && exec /entrypoint.sh mysqld"

This would make sure that before running the entrypoint script the proper permissions are set

2007 Can-Am ATV introduction
Story by Howard J. Elmer. May. 02, 2006 0
Bombardier turns historical page in rebranding with Can-Am name
The name Can-Am (if you are of a certain age) will remind you of a little upstart company, that seemingly out of nowhere entered the early 1970s motocross scene, winning races right out of the gate against the big established factory teams, including the three top podium spots in the '194 season of the US Motocross Championships. Do you remember who built the Can-Am series of dirt bikes? Well, it was Bombardier.
Now for the 2007 model year Bombardier has resurrected the Can-Am name to brand all its ATVs—including a new line of sport quads the company expects to be competitive with anything on the market.
The introduction of this new flagship model was held at a riding area outside of Atlanta recently, where I had thousands of acres of trails to ride as well as several motocross style dirt tracks. It's these dirt tracks, though, that the new Can-Am intends to dominate—just as its dirt bikes did in the 1970s.
Leading this renaissance is the 2007 Can-Am Renegade. This all-new sport quad is powered by a Rotax 800HO EFI V-Twin engine set in a lightweight Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame. Long travel double-A-arm front suspension and long travel independent rear suspension features torsional trailing arms and dive-control geometry. There are high-pressure gas shocks front and rear, extensive use of aluminum (including rims) and an aggressive minimalist bodywork styling. It is also 19 kg lighter than the comparable 800HO Can-Am Outlander utility ATV.
That's a good thing, too, because I'm heavier than the average racer (and 20 years older). Still, I noticed right off that the balance on the Renegade is excellent—on the ground, but particularly in the air where with either a blip of the throttle or pull on the brake handle I could change the attitude of the bike for a smoother landing. Around the groomed dirt track, I found the tabletop jumps were a breeze and with a little torque off the top of the whoops the ATV flew, landing with a cushioned attitude only gas shocks and long travel suspension can give you. Now, as for sailing over the double-bumps, I have too many painful memories that prevented me from attempting those. But, certain other younger riders with less scar tissue were jumping them with abandon.
The trade-off with plush suspension is often a high-centre of gravity on an ATV; but I found that the wide stance and low profile tires of the Renegade countered that effect in the corners. Another positive in this class is an all-wheel-drive setting for the transfer case which makes the Renegade very competitive on bush trails where many 2WD-only machines get hung up. Power-wise, there is a lot of jam on the bottom of the torque curve and it stays strong almost to the top of the rpm range. In fact, off the line, the Renegade wants to rear up, so pinning the throttle is not recommended. Even in the midrange, I felt the front end want to lift when I snapped the gas to the bar. On the other hand, it will get you airborne in a heartbeat.
When I had a chance to do a little Q&A with engineers and staff from this newly minted Can-AM division, my first question was what about the dirt bikes? Were they going to be building those again, as well as using the name? The only answer I got was a chorus of silent smiles.
Okay, so then why use the Can-Am name and why now? That question, as it turned out, had several answers; most of them intertwined with more than 30 years of Bombardier history. It was obvious that the lure of the ever expanding ATV segment had everything to do with this new corporate direction despite the coincidence of the current hot ATV market that is mimicking what happened during the hay days of the snowmobile (Did you know that in 1971 there were 173 companies building snowmobiles in North America? Now there are five).
Back then, flush with cash, Bombardier management jumped into the then exploding motocross market by forming an independent in-house engineering group to build, not just a salable dirt bike but also one that could win in competition. After two seasons of racing unbranded prototypes across North America the company released the first Can-Am 125cc and 175cc models in May of 1973 and swept several top place finishes that year. In 1974, they did even better, but by 1975, Bombardier corporate was shifting its priorities and resources into the production and sale of transit equipment and then later into the aircraft field. The recreational division (the one that had started it all) suffered as a result. By the late 1970s, Can-Am was not what it once was, and in 1983 Bombardier licensed the brand and outsourced development and production to an English firm. The last of the Can-Am bikes rolled of that foreign line in 1987, closing out a chapter of home-grown Canadian innovation with a sputter.
While much of what they did was cutting edge, it proved to be just too different for the marketplace.
Since then, Bombardier has become a huge aerospace and transportation conglomerate, selling planes and rail cars all over the world while still producing its core brands—the Ski-Doo line of snowmobiles, and watercraft appropriately named Sea-Doo. But by the millennium, it was obvious that the recreational department was under-funded and lacking in the desire to continue to lead within the field that had originally made the fortune of the little company from Valcourt, Que.
So, in April of 2003 the Bombardier family, with a group of investors, purchased the recreational division alone with the intention of once again dominating this segment on land, snow and water. To that end, the new company was renamed BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products) and a line ATVs introduced.
The original Traxter lineup of ATVs was different, very much in the same way as Can-Am bikes once were. The engineers from Valcourt refused to copy from their competitors—instead trying to reinvent the ATV in a new image they envisioned. While much of what they did was cutting edge, it proved to be just too different for the marketplace.
There was also another nagging problem, one that struck on a more personal level. While the Bombardier name was well known throughout Canada and the snow covered northern states of the US, in the heart of ATV country further south, buyers didn't have a clue what a Bombardier was. In fact, few could even pronounce it, they called it a 'Bomb-ba-dear,' thinking it was named after the guy who dropped bombs from airplanes. Still, Bombardier persisted, employing extensive ad campaigns (including TV) to familiarize the American public with its name. This went on for several years, and had some sales success, but in the end Bombardier couldn't shake this mispronounced label despite the fact that it introduced the DS650, (some eight years ago) one of the fastest and toughest race quads on the market. The DS produced results but not the sales the company needed, even though the machine won races in the Baja off-road series as well as the grueling 9,000 km Dakar race. In fact the DS capped its race record just this year sweeping the 2006 Dakar desert race taking first, second and third.
Still, general public recognition has eluded Bombardier.
From what I saw in Georgia, BRP is dealing with this reality. Firstly, the company has dropped the Bombardier name that led to market confusion. Second, it dusted off the Can-Am badge—a new name with a history. Exit the Traxter, the different ATV that just failed to take. And, finally plot a new direction for BRP by going mainstream and targeting the sport and racing segment of the ATV market by providing the time and funds that will let these new Can-Am engineers build the best bikes.
Perhaps more simply put, this engineering group wants to recapture the maverick spirit of the Can-Am days and they are hoping that their first effort, the Can-Am 800cc V-Twin Renegade, will do just that.
The rest of the rebadged 2007 lineup includes the Outlander; a more utility minded ATV that comes in 400, 500 and 650cc models. The series also features the Max, a two-rider version of the biggest 800HO Outlander; the Rally, 200cc entry-level bike; the race-winning DS650 is also joined by a new fun little DS250. And for anticipated new, smaller customers, there is also a DS50 and DS90. These new models on their way to dealers now and pricing will be available soon.

'Extraordinary' Spirit could chart direct route to Midlands National
04/01/2021 /0 Comments/in Horse Racing News /by Geegeez News
Seaston Spirit could head straight for the Midlands Grand National following his victory at Plumpton on Sunday.
Reverting to the larger obstacles after a 21-length success over hurdles at Ffos Las in November, Oliver Sherwood's charge produced a career-best performance to land the Sussex National and claim a fifth win from his last six starts.
"I'm well happy with him. He's a tough horse – he's extraordinary," said the Lambourn handler.
"Leighton Aspell (retired jockey) actually sent me a message of congratulations after the race and reminded me that he'd won on the horse just over a year ago off a mark of 98. He's now won a Sussex National off 125.
The @SherwoodRacing @OliverSherwood trained Seaston Spirit after striking gold in the Sussex National @plumptonraces under @AidanColeman pic.twitter.com/NS5KaBpKBj
— Graham Clark (@GrahamClark85) January 3, 2021
"He was entered at the sales not long after Leighton won on him, so he was literally in the last-chance saloon. He obviously heard about it as he's taken off since!
"He can still make the odd mistake, but we expect that and he's going the right way, obviously."
Sherwood hopes there is more to come from his charge, who may not run again before bidding for big-race honours at Uttoxeter on March 20.
He added: "The Midlands National would be the ideal race for him. I don't know what he'll go up for winning at Plumpton, but I think it should get him in off a low weight at Uttoxeter.
"I'm not entirely convinced he's ready for Newbury or Sandown or somewhere like that.
"I'm going to have no choice but to go for those kind of races because of his mark. Whether he'll go to Uttoxeter without a run, I don't know, but my feeling is he probably will."

Alcatel-Lucent delivers 31 Tbps in submarine cable experiment
Jul 17, 2013 12:13pm
Bell Labs researchers conducted a test where they transmitted 31 Tbps over 7200 km on one fiber at its parent Alcatel-Lucent's (NYSE: ALU) Innovation City campus in Villarceaux near Paris.
Leveraging Bell Labs' 200 Gbps single-carrier data channel work, the vendor said that it achieved the 31 Tbps speeds with a "span--the distance between amplifiers maintaining the entire length--of 100km."
Since data recovery at these speeds and distances is challenging, Bell Labs researchers used a combination of detection, modulation, transmission, and signal processing techniques with advanced error correcting coding.
During the experiment, the vendor used 155 lasers, each of which operated a different frequency and carrying 200 Gbps over a 50 GHz frequency grid to enhance the performance of a traditional WDM system, which today carry speeds of up to 100G.
The technical feats achieved in Alcatel-Lucent's trial may not be commercially ready for a number of years, but they could come in handy for cable systems such as Seaborn Networks' Seabras-1, a new 10,500 km fiber optic cable that will provide a direct route between New York and Sao Paulo.
