"I think we're getting really far away from something important," says Anna, one of the six characters in The TEAM's new play, Particularly in The Heartland, which runs through March 18 at PS 122. That "something" resides in the soul of the heartland, which is often obfuscated by the stereotypes and reductive portrayals of middle America.

The TEAM (Theater of the Emerging American Moment), a New York based ensemble of 20-something actors was formed in 1994. Since then, they have performed their work in New York, Scotland, London, Glasgow, and Toronto, among other places. Heartland won the 2006 Fringe First Award at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The company combines a sense of intense physicality, whether through dance or movement, with texts that are developed through improv and found material. But that is not a strict formula for each play-the look, feel and texture of the plays vary from piece to piece. Their play, Give up! Start Over! [In the darkest of times I look to Richard Nixon for hope], was a one-woman show. Other plays include: Howl, an adaptation of Alan Ginsburg's poem; A Thousand Natural Shocks, which was a rock-and-roll inspired Hamlet; and Faster, inspired by the James Gleick book.
Heartland was initially inspired by the March 2005 Bankruptcy bill that President Bush sponsored, which effectively made it more difficult for average Americans to declare bankruptcy. Those hit hardest would be working class Americans—leading the company to wonder why Americans would be in favor of legislation that harmed the middle working class, particularly in the heartland.
"We are interested in how geography shapes your brain," says Rachel Chavkin, director. For Heartland, Chavkin asked each company member to come up with forty images associated with middle America, and from those they developed ideas and images that run throughout the piece. The TEAM enters middle America with an inquisitiveness and openness worthy of Studs Terkel, a sort of response to the stereotypes and reductive formatting that have plagued media images of middle America in the last few years. What I think The TEAM recognizes is that the country is getting away from an honest dialogue, which is necessary for Americans to know themselves and to move forward in a progressive and humane way. By situating characters and ideas in apposition with middle America, they recognize the trickiness and difficulty in sustaining that dialogue. But that's all part of their process; their sense of discovery.
Particularly in the Heartland runs Feb 26-March 18, Wednesdays through Sundays, at PS 122. Tickets: $18 ($10 for members. For more info: www.ps122.org or 212-477-5829.

About the Sea of Hands
The Sea of Hands is one of ANTaR's major reconciliation community campaigns.
The first Sea of Hands was held on the 12 October 1997, in front of Parliament House, Canberra.
It was created as a powerful, physical representation of the Citizen's Statement on Native Title - a petition circulated by ANTaR to mobilise non-Indigenous support for native title and reconciliation.
Hands in the colours of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags, each one carrying a signature from the Citizen's Statement, were installed in front of Parliament House in what was then the largest public art installation in Australia.
The Sea of Hands has since become a symbol of the People's Movement for Reconciliation.
Over 300,000 Australians have signed their names on one of 120,000 plastic hands that make up the Sea of Hands, which has been installed in every major city and many regional centres, and continues to gather signatures everywhere it appears.
Today, the hands symbolise community support for RECONCILIATION, RIGHTS and RESPECT.
Planting a sea of hands is an act of recognition – of identities, cultures and history.

Keep on saying this while you look at the speaker, over and over again mentally repeat the affirmation, all the time reversing the other's thought, or the thought of the company in which you are for the time being. It is wonderful how it acts. Try it. At times the whole conversation will change without any interference on your part, and you will hear the people about you talking of more joyous and real things. At other times quite naturally, and in perfect order, an opportunity will be given you tactfully to change the whole subject and introduce just the opposite; people will begin to talk more joyously and happily, not knowing that the power has gone out from you, and changed their whole thought-life. This has been the writer's experience over and over again. I have for years practiced "reversing the thought," and have never found it fail.
"God is our Supply, and in Him there is no lack. Man is the expression of God, and the means whereby God is expressed to the world. God cannot express lack of any kind for He is Omnipotent; He openeth His hand, and suplieth the want of every living thing. In Him we have all things and abound."
So keep on reversing the thought of the one who is speaking, silently affirming the opposite TRUTH to the error being expressed by the spoken word of that other. Probably you will be asked what you think of it, and then will be your opportunity of telling the glorious gospel of the ABUNDANT LIFE and the EVER OPEN HAND OF GOD. You will be able to point out that all lack is seeming only, and it appears real because we are looking at conditions instead of at God. You will be able to teach them how to reverse the thought of their own lack or poverty, and how to affirm with perfect faith that God is able to supply all their need according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. You will tell them the Gospel of the lilies of the field, and of the fowls of the air, and they too will come to see that in Him there can be no lack.
Try it and see for yourself the result. It is so Wonderful and beautiful how thus reversing the thought actually brings a glad song to the lips, as well as awakening glorious harmonies in the heart, and one's soul is lifted up, and up, on the wings of joy.
"God is my strength and in Him is no pain. I cannot be sick because He is never sick, and IN HIM I live, and move, and have my being. There is perfect Wholeness and perfect harmony in God, and I am in Him."
Keep at it, and gradually as you repeat those affirmations of Truth the sense of pain will lessen, and the next thing you will find is that you have lost it altogether. The weariness too will have vanished, and you will mount up on wings as of eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint.
If you turn to the dictionary you will find that the meanings given to the word reverse are to overthrow, to make void, to annul. When you reverse an error thought, or silently, with divine insight and spiritual force, reverse the word of error, you are overthrowing it, making it void, annulling it. And the Power of Good, the Divine Power of Truth must prevail over error. This will give you faith in the power of reversing the thought, or the words, of error. You will find too that the silent forces, being the strongest forces, your thought, held with persistent and faithful determination to make the evil null and naught to the mind of the one that is held in the meshes of sense, will be far more powerful to heal, correct, and lead into Truth than any arguments or disquisitions you may make by the spoken words. Reverse in Silence, and the time will come when you will never be taken unawares, but your mind will, at the very moment of hearing error voiced, begin to reverse the thought, and practice will make easy what was at first difficult.
Reverse the thought so, and very soon the thought of lack or poverty will pass away into its native nothingness, and you will find much good coming into your life. Remember it is "as a man thinketh." that molds and forms his life, and makes him as he is. So may you learn how to reverse all that is of error, and affirm all that is of Truth and The Eternal Good.
Nevertheless it may be necessary to utter a word of warning for those who need it. Please notice that I am not telling you to deny the pain in your hand or your head. I am not telling you to say "I have no pain," for that would be foolishness. Neither am I telling you to say "I have no lack," for that would be foolish also. I am not telling you that you have no sense of pain or weariness, no sense of lack or poverty. You have a sense of all these it may be, and very acutely too, and it would be absolute folly for me to tell you to deny it! But what I want you to do is to deny that they are divine in origin, and that they have any part in God. The clue I give you is, "IN GOD there is no sickness. IN GOD is all health, all happiness, all harmony." That is Truth, is it not? Then this also is truth:—IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.
Then in Him we are essentially in health, happiness and harmony! It cannot be otherwise. That is the real way of reversing error, and voicing the TRUTH, and YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH, AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE.

What the Biden Administration's Priorities Could Mean for Water and Watershed Management
April 26, 2021 climate change, policy, The Confluence, watershed leadership, watershed management
tweetshareemail
By Scott Berry, US Water Alliance
We are at a unique moment for water. COVID-19 has upended life across America, disrupting business as usual in every sector and, in many ways, exposing or reinforcing structural challenges and social inequities.
But with a new president and Congress in place, we at the US Water Alliance believe there is a unique opportunity in how we respond and recover from COVID-19 as a nation. We can take this moment of deep disruption and turn it into a source of lasting transformation in how we view, value, and manage our nation's water systems and watersheds.
The Biden Administration and Congressional leaders are focused on four priorities: COVID-19 relief, economic recovery, climate change, and racial justice. Thankfully, water is a critical pathway to progress for all four of these priorities, with potentially transformational opportunities.
Handwashing and increased cleaning protocols were deemed critical public health tools in fighting the spread of COVID. They are only possible with safe and affordable access to water, which more than 2 million people in the US do not have.
Investment in water infrastructure has a profound impact on economic growth, as we have documented previously.
More frequent and intense storms, flooding, sea level rise, and droughts are all climate change impacts felt as water stress.
And there is great inequity in who experiences that stress. Often Black and brown communities are situated where they feel water stress first and worst.
So, water policy IS climate policy, and justice policy, and health policy, and economic policy.
There will be a lot of conversations in Washington about what we can do differently and how we can use this moment to build back better, rather than putting the same systems back into place. With the American Rescue Plan passed, the Biden administration and Congress are focused on what comes next.
The Biden Administration is pushing a $2.25 trillion infrastructure plan that includes $111 billion in water infrastructure investment. This is a tremendous opportunity to invest in climate-resilient water infrastructure as a part of larger watershed goals and plans.
This focus on climate-resilient infrastructure creates a lot of opportunities for watershed management. With new infusions of capital at the municipal level to support efforts to improve water quality and quantity, we can use this moment to think about infrastructure in a broader sense.
We often talk about One Water at the US Water Alliance – a more inclusive, holistic view of managing water that values every drop of water in all its various stages. We can use this historic moment to really get at managing water as a holistic system.
With extra capital to work on traditional water management infrastructure, there could also be more willingness to tackle larger water quality challenges with non-traditional solutions, such as urban-agricultural partnerships and water quality planning. With the climate investments in this package, there could be a new focus on whole-watershed solutions, which will reinforce the important role the agricultural community plays in water management.
As a driver of change and receiver of benefits, collaboration with the agricultural community will be essential to achieve an equitable water future for all. And I am especially hopeful that the Biden Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water will make sure agriculture and conservation have seats at the table of federal water policy.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get serious about building climate resilience and making progress toward water security. Just as climate change is making every water problem worse, the pandemic has made every crack and fissure in the water sector worse. COVID exposed the deep flaws in the nation's water systems.
But there is also renewed hope. The pandemic has forced a spotlight on issues like water access and affordability, and that has led to new and increased attention by policymakers.
Between the COVID relief packages and a potentially big infrastructure package, policy ideas and dollar amounts are being considered now that would have been called totally unrealistic just a year ago. For the first time in decades, we have the public and political will to think big and make truly historic changes to our water systems.
Now Congress and the Administration are focused on more than how an infrastructure package could mean more jobs. The conversation has moved beyond the concept of "shovel-ready" infrastructure to HOW we invest for the future and what kinds of systems we want to be building.
This bigger vision for more resilient water systems could set us up for social, economic, health, and environmental benefits for generations to come.

What Board Members Ask About Nonprofit Executive Compensation
To avoid issues with the IRS, and the public, nonprofit organizations must be conscientious when making decisions regarding executive compensation. Finding a healthy balance of competitive, but not excessive, compensation is essential.
Overpaying executives can lead to a decline in donations, volunteer resources and, in extreme situations, an organization could lose its nonprofit status.
The public donates to support the organization's mission, not to pay for excessive executive compensation. Here are 9 questions to ask about nonprofit executive compensation:
1. How do you determine what is a reasonable and competitive compensation for your nonprofit executive?
To appease the public, the IRS and your executive, nonprofit organizations need to decide on compensation that is both reasonable and competitive. Though they work for charitable organizations, non-profit executives are leading complex business operations and deserve compensation based on the market.
The IRS recommends that non-profits follow its three-step process to determine reasonable compensation.
Step One: Assign an independent body of board members, with no conflicts of interest, to review and approve compensation
Step Two: Use salary surveys to determine what organizations similar in location, budget size and mission type, are paying their top executives.
Step Three: Keep documentation of the review process such as who was involved, which decision was approved and which data was considered in the decision.
2. What happens if the IRS determines that a nonprofit's leader is overpaid?
Now that you know the risks of overpaying nonprofit executives, you're probably wondering what happens when the IRS finds that a nonprofit leader's compensation is excessive. According to the IRS, the executive has to pay back the excess compensation. The amount the executive pays equals excess benefit plus interest. In extreme situations, a nonprofit can even lose its status as a 501(c)(3). Nonprofit organizations should conduct an annual compensation review to prevent this from happening.
3. Is information on nonprofit executive compensation available to the public?
The short answer is yes. Donors can look at an organization's most recent audit, Form 990, or websites such as Guide Star and Charity Navigator to locate a breakdown of administrative costs, program costs, and fundraising costs. If administrative costs glaringly outweigh other costs, the public will likely notice.
4. What measures can nonprofits take to protect their executives?
The best way for nonprofits to protect their executives is to follow the three-step IRS process mentioned above. One of the most important precautions to take is to assign an independent body to review executive compensation annually. Making sure that there are no conflicting interests is vital to the validity of the committee decision. It is also necessary to ensure that the executive is not allowed to participate in any of the discussions about his or her compensation.
5. What kinds of data should nonprofit executive compensation be based on?
When determining the compensation of a nonprofit executive, you should take the following types of data into consideration:
Job type/responsibilities
Required level of education or experience
Number of hours worked
Overall budget of nonprofit
Compensation of similar organizations
6. What does compensation include?
Compensation is defined as anything given or received as an equivalent for services. It consists of salary and benefits such as all types of insurance, a car, a housing allowance, etc. Any additional perks that an executive receives from his or her organization are considered compensation.
7. What types of precautions should be taken during the review?
It is important to have a plan in place for the review process to prevent potential issues with the IRS or the public regarding executive compensation. The review process should be thoroughly documented with meeting notes describing what was discussed and who was present. There should also be a written policy requiring the full board to approve compensation decisions.
8. Should bonuses be allowed to substitute for lower salary?
Bonuses are acceptable if they meet specific criteria. They are NOT substitutes for lower salary. Bonuses needs to be based on specific performance measures and must not be excessive relative to peer groups of similar nonprofits. They should also be developed by an independent advisor to avoid conflicting interests.
9. What steps should you take after compensation has been decided?
Nonprofit organizations require customized compensation plans because of their unique circumstances. A well-designed compensation strategy will maintain a workforce of high-level skills for longer periods of time. Contact The Overture Group, today for comprehensive compensation consulting results that show! We'll use our deep industry knowledge to analyze your organization and generate solutions that work for you.After an independent body has made an initial decision on executive compensation, they should review the compensation package annually to ensure that an executive's salary remains reasonable and competitive. They should continue to ask questions and analyze data, as well.

Potok Bielszowicki (pot. Kochłówka) – ciek wodny w południowej Polsce, w województwie śląskim. Przepływa przez Rudę Śląską oraz Zabrze.

Kochłówka ma swoje źródła przy granicy Chorzowa, dzielnicy Batory i Rudy Śląskiej, dzielnicy Kochłowice. Niedaleko znajduje się również granica Katowic. Przepływa w kierunku zachodnim przez dzielnice Rudy Śląskiej: Kochłowice, Bykowine, Wirek, Bielszowice oraz Makoszowy, dzielnicę Zabrza. Potok Bielszowicki płynie w uregulowanym korycie, z wyjątkiem rejonu dawnej oczyszczalni ścieków w Wirku. Obecnie Kochłówka uchodzi do rzeki Kłodnicy jako jej prawostronny dopływ w 57 kilometrze. Do roku 1987 uchodziła do Kłodnicy w 56 km, co zapewniało odprowadzanie wód ze zlewni. W związku z prowadzoną eksploatacją górniczą już przed rokiem 1987 nastąpiła deformacja terenu, w wyniku której doszło do zakłócenia stosunków wodnych. Z uwagi na całkowite uniemożliwienie spływu wód z potoku do rzeki Kłodnicy przewidziano zmianę trasy dolnego odcinka potoku z wprowadzeniem go do Kłodnicy w kilometrze 57 na terenie miasta Zabrze. Jeszcze w latach sześćdziesiątych Kochłówka była na tyle czysta, że dla ludności okolicznej była miejscem wypoczynku. Rzeka tworzyła na tym odcinku szereg rozlewisk i stawów, w których można było się kąpać. Z biegiem czasu, w miarę rozwoju przemysłu ciek ten został całkowicie zanieczyszczony i w takim stanie znajduje się do chwili obecnej.

Cross section of 14 newly appointed Judges taking Oath of Office, presided by the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, on Friday, December 31, 2021.
Sanwo-Olu swears in 14 new Lagos judges
The governor said his administration had commenced the full digitisation of courts to ensure speedy administration of justice.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Friday swore-in 14 new judges of the Lagos State High Court to strengthen the judiciary, by increasing the current number of judges to 70.
The governor told the new judges that all eyes would be on them to dispense justice speedily, fairly and impartially, while also living above board in all circumstances.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu (fifth right); Chief Judge of Lagos State, Hon. Justice Kazeem Alogba (fourth right); Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat (fifth left); Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN (fourth left) with the 14 newly appointed Judges during their swearing-in, at Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, on Friday, December 31, 2021.
The new benchers consisting of nine females and five males are: Olubusola Adeyemi Okunuga, Adenrera Olayinka Adeyemi, Olufolake Olufolasade Oshin, Oluwatoyin Atinuke Odusanya, Olumuyiwa Oluseun Martins, Ariyike Mutiat Ipaye-Nwachukwu and Babatunde Oladapo Kalaro.
Others are: Omolade Jadesola Awope, Akinkunmi Olusegun Idowu, Olalekan Ayodeji Oresanya, Mujibat Iyabode Oshodi, Ismail Olalekan Ijelu, Mosunmola Muyibat Balogun and Mathias Oluwole Dawodu.
Speaking during the swearing-in of the 14 new judges at the Lagos House Ikeja, Governor Sanwo-Olu said the judicial arm of government is an essential element for the proper and effective functioning of any democratic society, noting that without the honest interpretation and application of the laws of the land, society would be open to chaos.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu presenting the Oath of Office to Hon. Justice Mujibat Iyabode Oshodi during the swearing-in of 14 newly appointed Judges at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, on Friday, December 31, 2021.
He said his administration remains committed to supporting the judiciary to fully discharge its constitutional functions and responsibilities, adding that his government is greatly fortunate to be an inheritor of a great tradition of judicial reforms and excellence in Lagos State.
"The standards of behaviour and practice expected of judges are among the highest and most stringent in the land. All eyes will be on you to dispense Justice speedily, yet fairly and impartially. You will be expected to live and act above board in all circumstances.
"In your hands lies great power: the power to punish wrongdoers and free the innocent, the power to send a strong message to society about the supremacy of the rule of law, and to contribute to the growing body of jurisprudence in the country.
"This power must be wielded with the utmost sense of care and responsibility. You must not only be efficient and fair but you must also be seen to be efficient and fair by all," the governor advised.

While urging the judges to be committed to their constitutional duties, Governor Sanwo-Olu said: "Judges who take their work seriously can do a lot to rebuild the confidence of citizens in the systems and institutions of our nation.
"A properly functioning judicial system will also go a long way in nurturing an environment that enables business and investment, and by extension, economic growth, and prosperity. When society prospers, there is less room for poverty to drive people to crime and criminality."
Governor Sanwo-Olu disclosed that his administration had commenced the full digitisation of courts to ensure speedy administration of justice. He, therefore, charged the new judges to make every effort to acquaint themselves with the ongoing reforms being pursued at sub-national and federal levels; be enthusiastic about their use of new technologies and strive to always be forward-looking and innovative in their thinking.
He said: "We have now commenced the full digitisation of our Courts' system in Lagos State. The first phase, comprising 10 Courtrooms, is nearing completion. This digitisation will help speed up court processes, enable the easy documentation and publication of accurate court transcripts, and also provide high-speed internet access for the use of Judges and other judicial personnel.
"Also, very importantly, we are deploying infrastructure to enable the virtual hearing of cases. This is one of the reforms whose necessity has been accelerated by the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic. We are all witnesses to how the lock downs and restrictions occasioned by Covid-19 negatively impacted the administration of criminal justice.
"Technology has offered a way out, and we are enthusiastically embracing this option. With the infrastructure we are putting in place, Judges will be able to sit virtually, ensuring that there are no delays, while also helping manage the costs that traditionally went into ensuring that suspects are conveyed to and from Courts.
Chief Judge of Lagos State, Hon. Justice Kazeem Alogba; Deputy Governor, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat; Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Attorney General/Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN during the swearing-in of 14 newly appointed Judges at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, on Friday, December 31, 2021.
"In addition to the pandemic, last year's wave of arson and destruction that targeted critical government facilities, including our Courts, also demonstrated to us the importance of quickly transitioning from manual recording systems to digital ones, which allow for easier and more secure storage of documents and records."
The governor also commended the National Judicial Service Commission for adding to the list of 12 prospective judges earlier sent.
Speaking earlier, Lagos State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), said the appointment of the new judges was necessitated by the retirement of some Judges in the course of the year.
In his remarks, the Chief Judge of the State, Kazeem Alogba, advised the new benchers whom he said were chosen based on merit to operate with the fear of God.
"You are welcome to the judiciary of excellence. It is a family of integrity and a family of discipline. You have all been called up to duty on merit and integrity, please do not disappoint us," he appealed to the new Judges.
Mr Alogba also advised the families of the new Judges to leave them to work and to continue to pray for them so that they would not falter.
Speaking on behalf of the new 14 judges, Mrs Okunuga appreciated the State Government for the confidence reposed in them and promised that they would make Lagos State Judiciary proud by discharging their duty without fear, favour or affection.

The stress of saving for retirement cuts across generations.
Saving for retirement is a stressful thing that isn't immune to multiple generations, according to a 401(k) plan participant survey conducted by Schwab Retirement Plan Services, Inc.
In fact, many young Americans have been behind the 8-ball when it comes to saving for retirement, and it has just gotten worse. Without debt reduction and increased savings, Gen Xers (those between the ages of 38 and 47) and younger Boomers (those in their late 40s to mid-50s) are on track to retire financially worse off than the generations before them, according to analysis from the Pew Charitable Trusts. Even millennials are worried about being able to save enough for retirement, with 38% of respondents naming it as a significant source of financial stress.
"When you think about it, it makes sense because retirement savings can be a bit of an unknown," says Catherine Golladay, senior vice president of participant services and administration at Schwab Retirement Plan Services.
How can I ensure that the assets I've built will be enough to last me throughout my retirement?
How can I maintain a comfortable standard of living without sacrificing my retirement income?
How much of an issue will healthcare costs be in retirement, and have I planned for any additional costs that may occur?
Will I be able to do all the things I have been saving to do?
Building and maintaining enough wealth to get you through retirement is one of the most important things you can do for yourself, and its' one that you should be reviewing with your financial advisor.

Trillanes fails to block trial
posted March 21, 2019 at 01:20 am by Rey E. Requejo
Opposition Senator Antonio Trillanes IV has failed to get immediate relief from the Court of Appeals to stop his trial for rebellion, a case earlier revived by the Makati City Regional Trial Court.
In a three-page resolution, the appellate court's Ninth Division ruled that to grant Trillanes' plea for the immediate issuance of a temporary restraining order or a writ of preliminary injunction would be tantamount to deciding on the merit of the petition, which seeks the reversal of the trial court's order issued on Sept. 25, 2018, which granted the Department of Justice's motion to reopen the rebellion case and to order Trillanes' immediate arrest.
• Trillanes' trial before a Makati Court will proceed as the Court of Appeals has turned down his plea to stop his indictment for rebellion.
In a resolution dated March 18, the court's Ninth Division denied the application for a temporary restraining order filed by Trillanes' counsel.
• Trillanes on Wednesday was thankful that the Court of Appeals had reportedly acted on his petition for certiorari by requiring Makati RTC Branch 150 to comment on it.
Trillanes filed a motion for reconsideration of the trial court's ruling, but the Makati City RTC Branch 150 denied it.
Presiding Judge Elmo Alameda also set the resumption of Trillanes' trial on March 20 with the presentation of prosecution witnesses.
That prompted Trillanes to elevate the case before the appellate court, branding the trial court's decision as a "whimsical and arbitrary act of ignoring established jurisprudence."
But the appellate court took note of the Supreme Court's action on a similar petition filed by Trillanes, in which it denied his prayer for ancillary relief to prevent the enforcement of Proclamation 572 on the ground that the issue of whether or not the senator availed of Amnesty Proclamation 75 was for the trial courts to determine.
"Given the foregoing facts, the ancillary remedies applied for may not be granted at this time without running afoul with the principle that provisional reliefs may not be granted in advance of the main action where the provisional relief is the very remedy prayed for the complaint or petition," the appellate court said.
The court gave the Justice department 10 days to comment on Trillanes' petition.
Trillanes' rebellion case was dismissed by the Makati Court on Sept. 7, 2011, after then-President Benigno Aquino III granted Trillanes amnesty. However, the amnesty was revoked by virtue of Proclamation 572 issued by President Rodrigo Duterte on the ground that the senator failed to comply with the requirements to qualify for an amnesty.
Specifically, the Justice department claimed that Trillanes failed to file an application form with an admission of his guilt.
Meanwhile, the Makati RTC has rescheduled the resumption of his trial on May 27.
The rebellion case arose from Trillanes participation in the Manila Peninsula siege in 2007 to topple the Arroyo administration. With PNA and Macon Ramos-Araneta

Boris Johnson calls Jeremy Corbyn 'big girl's blouse' in fiery first PMQs
The PM also came under heavy criticism for previous comments about the burka.
Boris Johnson makes his PMQs debut (PA)
By Stephen Jones, PA
September 4 2019 12:52 PM
Boris Johnson called Jeremy Corbyn a "great big girl's blouse" and was described as a racist for his comments on Islamic dress as he faced a testing debut at Prime Minister's Questions.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/boris-johnson-calls-jeremy-corbyn-big-girls-blouse-in-fiery-first-pmqs-38466900.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/7434f/38466895.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/bpanews_ac177c3b-d84e-4651-aa6b-0d58a821e6a8_1
The exchanges came just hours after MPs voted to seize control of the order paper, raising the likelihood of a delay to Brexit and prompting the PM to threaten a general election.
As the two leaders debated at the despatch box, Mr Corbyn attacked the PM over his plans to prorogue Parliament, claiming Mr Johnson is "absolutely desperate to avoid scrutiny".
In response, Mr Johnson threw up his arms and seemed to call out: "Call an election, you great big girl's blouse."
Shortly afterwards, Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi stood to condemn Mr Johnson for his "derogatory and racist remarks" in a column for the Daily Telegraph, in which he described some Muslim women as "letter boxes".
An angry Mr Dhesi gestured around the Commons and asked: "Mr Speaker, if I decide to wear a turban, or you decide to wear a cross, or he decides to wear a kippah or a skull cap, or she decides to wear a hijab or burka, does that mean that it is open season for right honourable members of this House to make divisive and derogatory remarks about our appearance?
"For those of us who from a young age who have had to endure and face up to being called towel head or Taliban or coming from bongo-bongo land, we can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by already vulnerable Muslim women when they are described as looking like 'bank robbers' and letter boxes'."
After calling on the PM to apologise for the column, Mr Dhesi received a round of applause from many in the chamber.
If you have ever experienced racism or discrimination, you can appreciate full well the hurt and pain felt by Muslim women, who were singled out by this divisive Prime Minister. It's high time he apologised for his derogatory and racist remarks! 2/2 pic.twitter.com/R3goWBTh1s
— Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi MP (@TanDhesi) September 4, 2019
Mr Johnson responded by saying his column had been a "strong, liberal defence… of everybody's right to wear whatever they want in this country".
He added: "I speak as somebody who is not only proud to have Muslim ancestors but to be related to Sikhs such as himself."
Elsewhere in an often ill-tempered spell in the chamber, Mr Johnson called Mr Corbyn a "chlorinated chicken" and swore as he claimed Labour's economic policy was both "shit" and "bust".
Neither of those comments were deemed unparliamentary by Commons Speaker John Bercow, though the PM was censured for referring to Mr Corbyn by name.
Mr Johnson said the choice for the country is whether they want a deal done by "this Government, or that Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn."
Well said @TanDhesi https://t.co/RE4hGoy1RR
— Nicola Sturgeon (@NicolaSturgeon) September 4, 2019
Mr Bercow said: "We don't name people in the chamber – people must observe the rules."
He added: "I am simply and politely informing the Prime Minister of the very long-established procedure with which everybody, including the Prime Minister, must comply.
"That is the position. No doubts, no argument, no contradiction. End of the matter."
There was further personal tension in the Spending Review debate which followed PMQs. Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell aimed a jibe at the PM over a well-publicised row at the apartment he shared with partner Carrie Symonds.
As he responded to Sajid Javid's statement, Mr McDonnell stopped and said: "Mr Speaker I believe the honourable member for Uxbridge (Mr Johnson) is shouting at me.
"Last time he was shouting at someone they had to call the police."
Mr Johnson later faces a vote on whether to force a delay of Brexit to prevent Britain leaving without a deal.
The PM has promised to call an election if he loses the vote, though Mr Corbyn said his party would not support this until the opposition's proposals to stop no-deal were passed as law.
By PA Reporters The Foreign Secretary has reiterated his "disappointment" at the US's decision to reject the extradition request for Anne Sacoolas.

SAIS Tackles Kenya at 50 – PT 2: Grand Political Narratives
Posted by africaindc in Events, Uncategorized
British Institute in East Africa, Charles Hornsby, Dan Branch, ICC Kenya, John Harrington, Jomo Kenyatta, KANU, Ken Opalo, Kenya, Susanne Mueller, UNIP, William Ruto
Yesterday, I returned to the 'Kenya at 50' conference for the last panel of the first day, 'Politics: The Grand Narrative.' I'm not sure if it was because it was the end of the day, or the overly broad focus, but I did not find this panel to be nearly as engaging as the first I attended.
The exception was the first speaker, Charles Hornsby, an independent UK scholar of Kenya. Like all of the speakers, he spoke in grand sweeping terms, although he managed to convey a bit more succinct information than the others. I learned that the average parliamentarian was likely to serve only one term in office and he provided some interesting info on the dynastic families of Kenyan politics (Kenyatta's, Moi's, and Odinga's). For example, I had not known that a son of former President Moi was elected to Kenya's Senate in the most recent elections. Hornsby noted that these families "are brands…almost like a football team."
Hornsby had also done some serious research on the validity of the Presidential elections in 2013. He carefully couched his findings, but the message I took away is that Kenyatta's Jubilee Alliance probably may well have engaged in a sophisticated scheme to slightly enhance its electoral success.
He was followed by Daniel Branch, of the University of Warwick who spoke of the rapid demographic shifts that Kenya has experienced since independence.
I completely lost focus when the third speaker, John Harrington of the British Institute in Eastern Africa spoke on 'Satire and the Politics of Corruption in Kenya.'
Susanne Mueller of Boston University spoke on opposition politics, noting that a 'climate of fear' predominates. Unlike the other speakers, she directly addressed the International Criminal Court indictments of President Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto. Perhaps only half jokingly, she spoke of 'Kenya's new opposition group, which is the ICC.'
A Kenyan graduate student, Ken Opalo of Stanford University (the only Kenyan I heard during the day's activities) delivered an extremely sound comparative analysis of the Kenyan and Zambian legislatures and argued for the importance of institutions in authoritarian states; with particular emphasis on explaining the traditional strength of Kenya's legislature. I found his observation that Kenya's founding President, Jomo Kenyatta, initially enjoyed only weak control of his party, KANU, in comparison to the dominance of UNIP in Zamia by Kenneth Kaunda to be particularly insightful.
Was anyone around for lunch to hear Johnnie Carson speak about the consequences of Kenya's choices in their election this year?

do you always stake newly planted trees?
Hi all, I just planted a 3 ft holly tree in my yard and was wondering if I need to stake it. It came in a container with a decent size rootball. We have mostly hard clay soil, so I added in some organic matter and it seems pretty stable but we have had a lot of storms with high winds this summer and want to make sure it is protected. It is in our backyard near a fence but I don't think it has much wind protection. I read that sometimes staking a tree can actually cause more harm than good, so was hoping for your thoughts on this. Thanks!
I do. There's a steady breeze of 5 to 6 mph where I live, and if a tree isn't staked when it's small, it will grow leaning away from the breeze. I imagine everyone has their own thoughts on the subject. I would definitely stake a holly tree.
I have one tree I intentionally did not stake, because I wanted it to lean. It adds some variety to the landscape.
As the others have said it is really OK to stake young trees but not to leave the stakes in too long. Yours is only small at 3ft. If you follow the guidelines of the previous poster and remove it after a year (I generally leave them in a year) the trees are fine. It gives the support a tree needs throughout its first growing year until its roots strengthen. We planted two Mediterranean Cypress trees last fall and left the stakes in. We will take them out soon. It ensures that the trees grow in an upright position which is essential for a Mediterranean Cypress.
I would not bother to stake a plant that small unless your soil was real loose or you had high winds with no protection. It would not be hard to do, but why bother, it's not needed.
On a side note, I usually lean all most of my trees when I plant them to get some interesting bend or motion in the trunk. This makes them look more natural if done correctly and accentuated with pruning.
Are you confused now? If you want differing opinions ask a helpful gardener.
But, antequam incipias consulto et ubi consulueris.

Featuring a foreword by C. Everett Koop, this book is the most authoritative and comprehensive resource guide on the market for therapists and other health care professionals who service children with disabilities and chronic illness. The book is organized into sections describing the affected population, legal and administrative issues, solutions and chronic conditions, and contains an appendix with an up-to-date list of resources for health care providers who work with the children affected. Above all else, it emphasizes solutions rather than problems.
Description: This book brings together a wide range of experts to address the provision of services to children with disabilities and chronic illness. It addresses six broad areas: the population served and the effect of disability on families and communities (including the development of public programs); future directions of the delivery of care; current issues; a compact summary of the service delivery component of care, including mental health, education, assistive technology, and vocational preparation; a compendium of disabling conditions; and a description of some professions that provide the care.
Purpose: This book attempts to meet the needs of practitioners of many different medical and associated disciplines, students, and advocates. This is not a clinical volume; it focuses on systems of service provision.
Audience: It is most appropriate for students of public health and those who are responsible for planning services for children with disabilities and chronic illness. I should require it for those who seek to place the care of children with disabilities into a "managed" model.
Features: The style and presentation make the book quite readable. Wide margins allow notations. Tables are helpful to the presentation of large amounts of material. Current references augment the text. References should be added to the compendium of conditions. Photographs are interspersed to help readability, although I found them distracting.
Assessment: This book is not fully successful. Disabilities receive much more attention than chronic illness. The variability of the chapters exceeds that of most multiauthored texts. Some chapters are superb. Others do not have enough detail to communicate their message effectively. Despite these shortcomings, the authors bring together a large amount of material and present it compactly. Thus, they have achieved the goal of creating a resource guide.

RICHMOND, Va. — Fifty-nine former judges, prosecutors and other attorneys sent a Prince William County judge a letter Wednesday advocating the removal of the special prosecutor in a high-profile murder-for-hire case.
A federal appeals court earlier this year upheld a judge's decision to toss out Justin Wolfe's conviction and death sentence in the slaying of his marijuana supplier, Daniel Petrole. The court ruled that prosecutors wrongly withheld evidence from Wolfe's attorneys that would have discredited their star witness — triggerman Owen Barber IV, who later recanted his testimony. The court left open the possibility of a retrial.
Prince William County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Ebert, chastised by the appeals court for actions that it called "abhorrent to the judicial process," recused himself and Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Raymond Morrogh was appointed special prosecutor. Morrogh promptly announced he would retry the case.
Wolfe's attorneys have questioned Morrogh's impartiality, and a hearing is set Oct. 31 on their motion to remove him as special prosecutor. A broad spectrum of lawyers supported that motion in a letter to Circuit Judge Mary Grace O'Brien, saying Morrogh's quick decision suggests he "did not carefully examine the evidence to reach an independent conclusion" about the case.
Morrogh did not immediately return a telephone message seeking a response.
The Wolfe case exposed a multi-million-dollar drug ring run by young people barely out of high school in the affluent northern Virginia suburbs. Wolfe was convicted based largely on the testimony of Barber, who in 2005 retracted his story that Wolfe hired him to kill Petrole. After a four-day evidentiary hearing, a federal judge found Barber's recantation credible and ruled that prosecutors improperly suppressed several pieces of evidence.
The key piece of withheld evidence was a report by a detective who flew to California to bring Barber back to Virginia. According to the report, the officer told Barber he might avoid the death penalty if he implicated Wolfe in the slaying. Barber later agreed to plead guilty to first-degree murder and testify against Wolfe in exchange for a life sentence.


A sharp pair of scissors is a powerful tool for Seattle-based artist, Deborah Faye Lawrence.
She went so far as to create an activist alter-ego, known as Dee-Dee Lorenzo, who appears in her art. Dee-Dee stands up for justice and the oppressed as she attends demonstrations such as the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle or supports the dumping of four tons of manure on the World Bank in Washington DC.

What is Cyber Security or Computer Security or Information Technology Security? It's the practice of protecting computers, mobile phones, servers, electronic systems, IoT, and other devices, networks, and data from malicious attacks that disrupts the services they provide.
There are some common categories that we can classify Cyber Security:
🢂 Application and System security
🢂 Network security
🢂 Information and Data security
🢂 Disaster recovery and business continuity
🢂 Operational security
🢂 End-user Learning
The threat is real, and it is growing.
Cyber threats are increasing in numbers and becoming more complex every year. There are even reports that the data exposed every year double. As the pandemic raged on, medical services have become the most targeted, retailers, public, government, and private entities are targeted as well. Cybercriminals aim to acquire financial and medical data. In fact, any business that uses networks can be attacked for their customer data or even for corporate espionage.
Spending on Cyber Security to combat these threats are already critical and may reach billions by next year. This is probably why a lot of governments have taken the hint and are already giving guidance so that better and more effective Cyber Security practices can be put in place.
The NIST, or National Institute of Standards and Technology, has forged a Cyber Security Framework, you can take a look at their website here: https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework
Skimming through the framework, you'll know they recommend one thing-- constant, vigilant, monitoring.
Now, how do Cyber Criminals do the deed? Watch out for these common tricks:
Malware is a portmanteau of malicious and software. It's software, application, code, script, that is used to damage or disrupt a computer. It's spread through email, downloads, or even through external drives. Most of the time, it's because of money, but they can also be politically motivated.
Types of Malware
➽ Virus: Like the biological ones, it replicates, attaches to a clean host file then infects your system.
➽ Trojans: Named for the Trojan Horse, it hides inside real software. Once the user opens up that software, it runs smoothly, not knowing that a Trojan has been released and can now cause damage.
➽ Spyware: Another word combination-- spy + software. It's malware that records and steals information, it can be a password or a credit card.
➽ Adware: Malware inside advertising software.
➽ Botnets: Malware infected computers, used by cybercriminals to perform tasks over the internet without permission from the legitimate user.
➽ Ransomware: Ah, the infamous one. No matter if you are a tech or not, this kind of Malware has been in the news. It's Malware that locks down a user's files and data, even entire systems. The files and data are held in ransom until the perpetrators are paid.
2. SQL injection
Through an SQL or structured language query injection, a cybercriminal can take control and steal data from a database. Using a malicious SQL Statement, Cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in database applications to insert malicious code and take lead. Imagine all the kinds of information they have access to when this happens.
That email from your financial institution, or your boss, that looks so real asking you for some sensitive information? That's a Phishing email. Phishing attacks steal your information, like credit card data, or app PINs, for financial gain. It can also take the form of SMS, called Smishing.
4. Man-in-the-middle attack
Nope, not that Michael Jackson song. A man-in-the-middle attack happens when a cybercriminal comes between two individuals and intercepts their communication. For example, in an open Wi-Fi in a cafe, a person can intercept the data from one person's device going to the internet by using tools that pretend to be the Wi-Fi.
5. Denial-of-service attack
A denial-of-service attack happens when a website or a computer system is bombarded with traffic that overwhelms the networks and servers. Essentially, the system becomes unusable as it can no longer get legitimate requests and the system is stopped.
These are just the most common forms of Cyber threats. As technology evolves and takes other forms, we will continue to seek better protection methods and the criminals will find other ways to create cyber security threats.
That's what Cyber Security or Computer Security or Information Technology Security is in a nutshell. That's our first peek into this deep dark world. Now that you have an idea about how these threats are initiated, delivered, and get inside your system, our next blog will deal with how you can protect and arm yourself from these threats and cyber attacks. Don't worry, Boom Logic's got your back.

This workshop follows up the successful 1st Workshop on Future Television, held at EuroITV 2010, Tampere, Finland. At that time we focused on how Web-TV integration could make much more possible that simply pasting Web content over the TV program, or giving the TV viewer a hard-to-use Web browser on their screen.
The second edition of this workshop will build on research, services and results from the NoTube project, bringing NoTube experts together with the wider iTV research and enterprise community to explore the new possibilities inherent in social Web, semantic Web, Linked Data and semantic TV to produce future, new, innovative services and platforms for TV which is more personal and more social. This goes beyond the existing state of the art social TV through the introduction of open Web standards, semantic Web technology and Linked Data content.
which concrete steps need to be taken to achieve uptake of the new technology in the TV industry.
Target Audience: The workshop would be suitable for researchers, students and practitioners from three communities in which there is only a small overlap at present, despite the clear mutual benefits to be gained for integration of social Web, semantic Web, and television technologies.
Submissions: We seek short & long paper submissions as well as poster & demo submissions. Papers should be in PDF format, and follow the ACM style guidelines. Short papers should not exceed 3 pages, full papers are up to 9 pages and demos/posters should be described in up to 2 pages. Short papers are ideal for informing about new research or implementation at an early stage or proposing new ideas about future television. Long papers are ideal for reporting on finished or near-finished research and implementation, including evaluations and lessons learnt.
Demonstrations and posters are meant to propose system demonstrations or rather pragmatic early work. Please send your submissions via Easychair (now closed).
Workshop proceedings are now available at CEUR-WS.

Delicious Flamewars, Heartbreak, and Heroines
Posted on July 20, 2011 by NiTessine
A roleplaying game project came up on Kickstarter the other day.
For those of you who don't know, Kickstarter is a site where an aspiring publisher of whatever product can put up their idea, pitch it to the public, and set a goal for how much money they need to produce it and release it. Members of the public may then pledge money to the project in exchange for future copies or whatever. It's a pretty nifty system.
Anyway, this particular roleplaying game is called Heartbreak & Heroines. It's "a fantasy roleplaying game about adventurous women who go and have awesome adventures — saving the world, falling in love, building community, defeating evil. It's a game about relationships and romance, about fairy tales and feminism."
That last word, there, "feminism"… that's a bit flammable on the internet. Predictably, it soon caught fire on RPG.net. Here's the first thread. It's a bit of a trainwreck and you may not want to actually read it, though it does contain the immortal lines "WFRPG is one of the few RPGS to acknowledge the historical reality that everyone in the medieval Arab world was a reanimated skeleton" and "For me, the weird experience has been the vast number of men who are so ardently supportive of women in gaming that they find a feminist RPG to be offensive". There's also a Q&A thread where the author herself comes to answer questions, and does so in a manner far more polite than I probably would have managed.
So, she pissed off a bunch of people without trying or intending to. With feminism and inclusiveness. I think there might be something wrong here, but I can't quite put my finger on it…
As a general thing, I keep a healthy distance from arguments and flamewars like these. I mean, I'm a white, heterosexual, college-educated male from Finland. I've got privilege coming out of my ass. The issues do not personally touch me and the discourse around them is mostly unfamiliar to me in a way that makes me feel like I might inadvertently offend someone I don't want to. I always feel like I'm moving on thin ice when I go there, so I generally don't. It's easier to stay in my comfort zone where I am always right. It's a pretty large playing field for me.
However, this time I am willing to make an exception, and I'm pretty sure that I'm right.
See, to me there's something fundamentally wrong about the attitude Heartbreak & Heroines encountered there. "Hubris", they said. The author was compared to that of F.A.T.A.L. Further down the line we are presented ideas that having racial and gender equality in a medieval fantasy setting is "silly". We also get the classic "not tolerating bigotry makes you a bigot yourself" line.
Seriously, people. I'm not saying I'm above writing extravagantly lengthy posts describing the exact depth of my hatred for this game or that, but I at least had played the game first (except in the case of F.A.T.A.L., but I think I can be forgiven for that). This one hasn't even been entirely written yet.
So, given that the people being pissed off seem to have been in desperate need of pissing off anyway and probably secretly wanted it (see what I did there?), I can only give my wholehearted approval to Heartbreak & Heroines and Caoimhe Ora Snow. I can also give $15. Would pledge more, except it's the con season and I'm not exactly rolling in cash right now.
I'm not saying you should do the same, mind you. I hate it when people use the "buy this or you are a chauvinist/antisemite/racist/True Finn" argument. For all I know, the game might end up being crap (though the author's previous work seems solid enough). Just… you might do worse than pledge a few coins. Also, if they don't reach the goal, I won't get my copy, and then I'll be annoyed.

Well, we live in a world where everyone has the ability to say something on almost every topic. I agree with you on this one. Were the same people complaining when the latest chicks in chainmail game came out. You are right, sometimes people just need to be pissed off. I know quite a few female gamers and they would probably like this game.

Well spoken; I'm sold. Another $15 thrown their way.

Welp, I pledged in enough to get a paper version of the book, via international shipping. This oughta be fun enough just for how it pisses off people.
Lugh on July 20, 2011 at 7:53 pm said:
I have to say, that was a remarkably well written "I have nothing I can say" post. And I mean that in all sincerity, with no sarcasm intended. You acknowledge that, like me, you are not really in a position to appreciate the issues driving this project. And, yet, you feel like supporting this project is in line with the convictions you claim to hold.
All in all, bravo.

The cool part about the rpg.net thread?
The people complaining about HOW DARE YOU MAKE THIS GAME made everyone else pledge money out of spite.
In three freaking days, the thread got the author 3000 dollars.

I'm guessing that that's because she's been publicly accused of rape. It's kind of bad press. Kind of a shame all around.

Q. Hi Corning Rakow Librarians! I was wondering if you have any resources on DIY glass blowing tools.
Hi Corning Rakow Librarians! I was wondering if you have any resources on DIY glass blowing tools. I'm specifically looking for information on making your own blow hose pipe attachments, and fin molds. Thanks so much! P.S. I was also wondering if you had a digital copy of the infamous "chicken" video that I could get a hold of. Thanks so much!
Thank you for contacting us with your question. Our video collection is a non-circulating collection and we are unable to loan you any titles, including Glassblowing with Marquis and Ward (the chicken film).
