Govan Whittles | 1907 days ago
JOHANNESBURG - The Department of Agriculture says it believes the current drought being experienced in parts of South Africa has presented farmers with an opportunity to change the way they produce their crops.
The department says it's seriously concerned about the expected spike in food prices due to low production and increased imports.
Agriculture minister Senzeni Zokwana said, "We need to change the method of farming and I think we need to work closely with institutions like the weather service so that we are able to look at the long-term progression and decide how best we can ensure that we produce."
KZN DECLARED DISASTER AREA
Yesterday, government declared KwaZulu-Natal a disaster area in the midst of the worst drought to hit the country in almost two decades.
Other areas include Limpopo and the North West.
Minister of Rural Development and Land Reform, Gugile Nkwinti, joined by his counterparts Lindiwe Zulu and Senzeni Zokwana, were briefing the media.
They were giving an update on the National Development Plan and Vision 2030 in Parliament today.
Apart from the high unemployment rate, Nkwinti said the decline in farming output is a concern.
"Within the next week, we're not expecting any significant rainfall. If anything, we are expecting some slight showers towards the end of the weekend, into early next week but nothing significant. And nothing in the quantities that we would like to see at this time of year."
NO SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL
At the same time, forecasters said significant rainfall is only expected in autumn next year.
They say global warming and the El Niño effect are likely to blame for the lack of rainfall.
Environmental scientist Simon Gear said the last few months have been the warmest on record.
"Global warming has clearly taken hold and so the last three or four month have been among the warmest on record. Combined with that we have the strongest El Niño signal that we've had since the 1940s."
Principle researcher at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research professor Francois Engelbrecht said usually El Niño events are associated with below normal rainfall.
"That means the December to February period particularly is associated with below normal rain or even drought during El Niño year."
South African Weather Service Cobus Cronje said the lack of significant rainfall is expected to last until next year.
"We can say that we are experiencing below normal rainfall and this season is expected to last into autumn next year. This is what the long range is indicating."

The subject of the film is an Austin, TX institution, Lord's Gym, which was founded sixteen years ago by Richard Lord, a former professional boxer. A wide variety of people of all ages, races, ethnicities and social classes train at the gym: men, women, children, doctors, lawyers, judges, business men and women, immigrants, professional boxers and people who want to become professional boxers alongside amateurs who love the sport and teenagers who are trying to develop strength and assertiveness. The gym is an example of the American "melting pot" where people meet, talk, and train.
Pugilists and philosophers of all kinds converge in Frederick Wiseman's mesmerizing documentary.
We see multiple iterations of all manner of drills, and one of the pleasures of this film is that it understands that the more you look at something, the more mysterious and beautiful it becomes.
There's no disputing the cumulative authority of Wiseman's ongoing Human Comedy or ignoring the influence that his epic observational style has had on fiction filmmakers.
Even with no traditional narrative, there are wonderful discoveries to be made in Wiseman's film, which is a nice complement to the experienced director's ballet-themed last feature, "La Danse: The Paris Opera Ballet."

Greek Anarchists Occupy Labor Ministry, Leftist Newspaper
By Philip Chrysopoulos
Self-professed anarchists of the Rubicon group raided the Greek Labor Ministry on Monday shouting slogans and scattering flyers, protesting pension cuts and security contribution hikes.
The perpetrators put up a banner saying "We will not live like slaves. We will not die like beggars." Police arrived on the spot around 2 pm and apprehended 15 people who were taken in for questioning. The perpetrators had posted a statement on an anarchist website calling the ministry the "conductor" through which all austerity measures are passed on to the Greek people.
Meanwhile, another group of anarchists on Monday occupied government-friendly, leftist newspaper Avgi, protesting a court decision for the deportation of Egyptian asylum seeker Mohamad Abdelgawad.
Approximately 30 people barged in the newspaper building in the afternoon and took positions on the third floor and the entrance. They claimed that their action is in support of Abdelgawad who is on hunger strike at the Mytilene hospital on Lesvos island, protesting the deportation decision.
The anarchists left the building a little before 8 pm.

Project manager at former Miraval condo says sponsors owe him $472K
Sep.September 12, 2012 05:30 PM
By David Jones
The former project manager at 515 East 72nd Street, the condominium formerly known as Miraval Living, has filed a suit against the project sponsors, including Square Mile Capital. James Sheehan is alleging that the sponsors failed to pay him more than $472,000 in salary, bonuses and commissions after he was terminated, due to financial losses connected to the conversion.
The lawsuit alleges breach of contract and violation of state labor laws. According to the suit, Sheehan became the owners' representative and project manager in 2005 under a joint venture between the original developers, C&K Properties and Zamir Equities. Those two companies acquired the former 408-unit rental building and converted it into a 331-unit spa condominium called Miraval Living.
Sheehan contends that the condo operated under a shell company called River Terrace, and that he was made an employee of Cooper Square Realty, the managing agent of the property, which would pay his salary, commissions and bonuses, and would be reimbursed by the sponsors.
In August 2007, Square Mile, which was initially the junior mezzanine lender, took "operational and day-to-day control" in a "friendly foreclosure" of the conversion, according to the suit. Sheehan signed a new agreement in April 2008 with Square Mile and an affiliate firm SM Asset Management that listed his $215,000 salary, a $25,000 bonus and $10,000 car allowance. That agreement also included a $250,000 bonus to be paid when the mortgage was refinanced, according to the lawsuit.
The Real Deal previously reported that Square Mile recapitalized Miraval Living, but the firm declined to comment on the financial condition of the property at that time.
Documents filed with the state Attorney General's office failed to spell out any change in control of the sponsor entity during that year or discuss any change in financial condition. The handover of control to Square Mile Capital was also alleged in a 2008 suit by Coco Investments, an investor in the project, according to documents obtained by The Real Deal.
Sheehan alleged said in February 2011 the Witkoff Group and Westbrook Partners bought the property's senior mezzanine debt from Brookfield Properties and entered a cooperation agreement with SM Asset. By October 2011, the debt was refinanced with M&T Bank, which he said would trigger the $250,000 bonus.
According to the suit when Sheehan was terminated in December 2011, Jim Derow, the new owners rep at the property and a principal at Square Mile, told him: "Don't expect it. You won't receive it. We lost all the money we put into the deal and are not about to pay more. I don't care what your contract says."
Sheehan claims that at the time of his termination, his annual contract was not set to expire until November 27, 2012.
A spokesperson for the sponsor, River Terrace, declined comment. A spokesperson for Cooper Square, also named as a defendant, said it was their policy not to comment on pending litigation. Lawyers for Coco Investments, were not immediately available for comment. Lawyers for Sheehan did not return calls.
Square Mile issued the following statement: "We do not believe Square Mile is liable in this matter, and we will seek to have ourselves removed from the litigation."
As The Real Deal reported last month, the condo recently entered into a bulk deal to sell 14 apartments to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Reg Grundy, the Australian media mogul and entrepreneur who was responsible for such seminal TV soaps as Neighbours and Prisoner: Cell Block H, has died. Australian media reports he passed away on Friday at his home in Bermuda. He was 92.
Grundy started his career in radio, hosting a local version of Wheel Of Fortune and moving with it to television in 1959 when he founded production company the Reg Grundy Organisation. Other shows that were produced by the company included The Restless Years, The Young Doctors and Sons And Daughters. In 1995, Grundy sold the company to Pearson Television, which is now FremantleMedia.
Neighbours, which has run since 1985 and is set in a fictional Melbourne suburb, helped launch the careers of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan. Other now-famous faces to have appeared on the soap have included Guy Pearce, Liam Hemsworth and singer Nathalie Imbuglia. Russell Crowe also did several episodes.
Prisoner: Cell Block H (known as Prisoner in Oz) was created in 1979 and became one of Grundy's biggest global hits. Set inside a fictional women's prison, it dealt with issues that were not widely addressed on television at the time including homosexuality, social injustice and prison reform.
Grundy also brought U.S. game shows to Australia, making hits out of the local versions including Wheel Of Fortune, Blankety Blanks and Sale Of The Century.
Throughout his leadership, Grundy controlled and owned all the shows he produced, The Guardian notes. Grundy's feature credits include producing 1977's Abba: The Movie, directed by Lasse Hallstrom and starring the eponymous Swedish pop group.

Jaffe's recent book, "When Will I Be Good Enough? A Replacement Child's Journey to Healing" reflects her journey, which readers can relate to, for she writes of the universal issues of self-confidence and self-esteem that affect all of our lives.
A fourth generation San Franciscan native, she has spent her adult life living in Los Angeles with her husband, three sons, two grandchildren, and her very sweet poodle/bichon Emma.

JUPITER, Fla. (AP) � Mark McGwire said he�s saddened his estranged brother wrote a book that chronicles their use of performance-enhancing drugs and reiterated his claim that he only took them to heal from injuries.
McGwire said yesterday he�s so u set with his brother, Jay McGwire, that he doesn�t believe reconciliation is possible.
�I don�t plan on ever seeing him again,� said McGwire, the new hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals.
The youngest of the five McGwire brothers and Mark�s junior by more than six years, Jay McGwire lived with Mark and was a frequent clubhouse visitor during McGwire�s time in Oakland. His book, �Mark and Me: Mark McGwire and the Truth Behind Baseball�s Worst-Kept Secret,� is scheduled for publication Monday.
Mark McGwire used the word �sad� seven times to describe the book in his 8-minute question-and-answer session with the media yesterday.
Jay McGwire says in the book that he persuaded his brother to start using steroids regularly in 1994 and set him up with a supplier. He says Mark regularly used an array of drugs through 1996 that included Deca-Durabolin, human growth hormone, Dianabol, Winstrol and Primobolan.

MIKL était une émission de libre antenne diffusée tous les soirs en direct sur Virgin Radio France et anciennement proposée sur les ondes des stations de NRJ Group depuis le . L'émission est supprimée le  mais reprise sur NRJ le  puis supprimée de nouveau officiellement pour faute d'audience à la surprise générale le . Sa programmation s'est faite indépendamment sur NRJ France, NRJ Belgique ou NRJ Léman en fonction de considérations diverses. Lorsque l'émission était supprimée sur NRJ, elle était diffusée sur Fun Radio Belgique puis Fun Radio France, puis sur Virgin Radio France du 23 août 2021 au 15 décembre 2022.

Cette émission à dominante talk show ou libre antenne, selon les périodes, rassemble un groupe de quatre à six coanimateurs mené par l'animateur principal Michaël Espinho. En fonction des évolutions qui la caractérisaient, elle s'est successivement intitulée L'Émission sans nom, Accord parental indispensable, Sans interdit, L'Émission sans interdit, Mikl sans interdit, Mikl-L'Émission sans interdit, puis finalement MIKL.

Historique

Prémices
Le , Mikl et Toph proposent une émission qui remplacerait My NRJ, une émission belge pendant une semaine et qui aurait pour titre L'Émission sans nom. L'émission avait lieu de  jusque tard dans la nuit, ne s'arrêtant jamais à l'horaire fixé. Durant cette semaine, ils reçurent des acteurs X comme Estelle Desanges, Katsuni, Clara Morgane, Kenza et d'autres. À cette époque, Mikl faisait l'animation et la réalisation, Toph participait à l'antenne et Jack était au standard.

Débuts sur NRJ Belgique
Le , la direction de NRJ Belgique lance Accord parental indispensable, un talk show avec présence plus faible de libre antenne. Le nom était le même que l'émission de Maurad en France, ce qui posa un problème de cohérence, étant donné que NRJ Belgique et NRJ France font partie du même groupe. Ainsi, après un mois, Maurad menaça d'attaquer NRJ Belgique en justice si le nom de l'émission n'était pas changé. C'est pourquoi, l'émission changea de nom pour Sans interdit.

L'émission était diffusée entre  et minuit du dimanche au jeudi, le vendredi étant réservé au Best Of qui durait deux heures (entre  et ). Durant la saison 2003-2004, Jack, Mikl, et Toph étaient aux commandes puis la soirée se terminait seulement avec Mikl qui animait Party Time. Durant la saison 2004, Jack était à la fois, aux commandes du Best Of, ainsi que de Party Time.

Succès
À l'époque, les sondages mettaient en évidence des difficultés d'audience dans la tranche du soir de NRJ Belgique est dans les bas fonds dans sa tranche du soir. Mais, en à peine neuf mois, Sans interdit atteignit des records d'audiences sur cette tranche. Ainsi, après un an et demi d'existence, l'émission devint , au point que l'addition de l'audience de toutes les autres radios belges ne suffisait pas à égaler celle de l'émission.

Fort de ces audiences et après le départ de Maurad de NRJ France, Freddo et Roberto Ciurleo, respectivement directeur d'antenne et directeur des programmes et de la marque NRJ, décidèrent de prendre contact avec l'équipe de l'émission. .

La direction de NRJ France décida de proposer à l'équipe de l'émission, la tranche du soir sur NRJ France : un pari assez risqué puisqu'à l'époque, il y avait déjà Difool sur Skyrock, mais aussi Max sur Fun Radio, les deux numéros un de la libre-antenne à l'époque. L'équipe de l'émission, avec Mikl, Jack, Toph et Ced, décida d'accepter, à condition que l'émission continue d'être diffusée sur les ondes belges.

Arrivée en France
L'émission arriva en France, le  sous le nom L'Émission sans interdit, qui devint alors une émission à dominante libre antenne avec une part moins importante de talk show, et était diffusée entre  et minuit. Le terme L'Émission  en France par une société autre que NRJ Group.

Les sondages montèrent petit à petit. Ainsi, l'émission commençait à prendre de l'ampleur sur le territoire français.

Sandro, qui était au standard dès la première émission en France, passait malgré tout de temps en temps à l'antenne. Et petit à petit, elle finit par devenir animatrice, abandonnant ainsi le standard. En même temps, l'équipe de l'émission s'agrandit à la suite de l'arrivée de Polo « du PoloShow » et de Pedro (surnommés « Les Mexicains »), Julien, d'abord simple auditeur fréquent de l'émission, proposa ses services pour remplacer « le Vignoble »  à la suite de l'invitation de Mikl le  et finit par se faire appeler Pokoroo du fait de sa ressemblance avec M. Pokora et enfin La Rousse et même Le Roi Roo, puis enfin Roo.

L'Émission sans interdit
Mais l'avant-dernier jour de la saison, en , la direction de NRJ Belgique décida de supprimer l'émission de l'antenne belge sans explications ni consultation des auditeurs. L'Émission sans interdit est reprise dans la grille de rentrée 2005 de NRJ France et débarque sur NRJ Léman (programmes officieusement destinés à la Suisse).

La rentrée 2006 fut l'occasion pour l'émission de revenir en Belgique, après un an d'absence, tout en restant diffusée sur NRJ France.

En , l'émission revint en France et en Belgique du lundi au vendredi sous le nouveau nom Mikl sans interdit.

Le , après deux mois sans émission, l'émission recommence à être diffusée uniquement sur NRJ France sous le nom de Mikl - L'Émission sans interdit. En effet, l'émission n'a pas été reconduite dans la grille de rentrée d'NRJ Belgique.

La station NRJ, mal en point depuis plusieurs sondages, décida de se recentrer sur sa musique. L'Émission sans interdit ne fut pas épargnée, car elle perdit son best of du dimanche et retrouva son horaire originelle ( - minuit).

Cette rentrée fut l'occasion pour l'émission de se renouveler grâce à l'arrivée de Micha, le remplaçant de Sandy. Désormais, les animateurs privilégient plus les jeux avec les auditeurs que la libre antenne « pure ».

Le , le site belge Tuner.be annonce que L'Émission sans interdit est victime de problèmes d'audience et qu'elle serait sur le point d'être supprimée en France. Toutefois, la suppression de l'émission fut démentie le  par Mikl lui-même à travers un autre article du même site. Mais, au début de l'émission du , Mikl annonça que l'émission était réellement en sursis. Ainsi, pour augmenter ses scores d'audience, la formule originale de l'émission est depuis lors quelque peu modifiée afin d'attirer plus d'auditeurs : de plus en plus de people passent dans l'émission, et moins de temps est laissé aux problèmes des auditeurs.

Le , à la suite de la publication des nouveaux sondages des audiences de janvier/mars, Christophe Sabot, directeur délégué des médias musicaux, de lentertainment et de l'Internet, rend compte d'une progression de la libre antenne du soir en termes d'audience. D'après Christophe Sabot, ce résultat est le fruit d'un vrai travail effectué sur l'émission, avec notamment une modification du format. L'émission est revenue à son format originel, celui du talk show.

MIKL
Le , MIKL L'Émission sans interdit change de nom pour devenir MIKL, l'émission de talk show du soir sur NRJ. Revenue de  à minuit sur les ondes de NRJ France et NRJ Léman, elle bénéficie désormais du retour du best of, le dimanche, aux mêmes horaires de diffusion, désormais animé par les Mexicains (Polo et Pedro). Elle officialise son changement de format pour devenir une émission de talk show.

Durant l'émission du , Mikl laisse entendre brièvement à l'antenne que l'émission s'arrêtera en février.  et quelques changements (suppression du Best Of, accroissement du nombre de disques, arrêt de l'émission à minuit pile). L'émission a retrouvé le nombre de disques d'origine (trois ou quatre par heure) ainsi que son arrêt un peu après minuit. Peu à peu MIKL se redirige vers une libre antenne (comme à l'époque de Sans interdit). Cependant Mikl ne cesse de faire des allusions à un arrêt de l'émission à la fin de la saison.

Arrêt de l'émission (2010)
Le , Mikl annonce qu'il quitte NRJ le , pour rejoindre le réseau de radios numériques Goom Radio à la rentrée prochaine. Le , l'information est confirmée sur le site de Radio Actu, Mikl et toute son équipe quitteront la station NRJ en juillet. La dernière émission de MIKL sur NRJ devait alors se dérouler le  de  à minuit. Mais le , à la surprise générale, Mikl annonce sur Facebook son licenciement de NRJ, provoquant, par conséquent, la suppression de son émission MIKL, à deux semaines de l'échéance initialement prévue. Toutefois, depuis le , Mikl est sur la webradio Just Hits de Goom Radio, pour animer une émission équivalente que celle qu'il présentait sur NRJ, entre 20 et  désormais, ce sera toujours un talk show, mais on notera le retour marqué de la libre antenne. Aucun membre de son équipe actuelle ne sera à l'antenne, même si certains pourraient rester présents en coulisses. Ainsi Mikl sera entourée d'une nouvelle équipe à l'antenne.

Retour sur NRJ (2015), puis Fun Radio Belgique, puis Virgin Radio France
Mikl est de retour sur NRJ le , avec Mikl Sur NRJ, du lundi au jeudi de minuit à trois heures. Il remplace du  au  Guillaume Pley de  à minuit du lundi au jeudi, et de  à  le vendredi. Après le  et jusqu'à la rentrée, il reprend le créneau de minuit à trois heures, juste après Guillaume Radio 2.0. À partir de la rentrée 2015, il anime l'émission de  à  ou  à , du lundi au jeudi. Son équipe est composée de Toph, Polo et Valentine. Le , Valentine a quitté l'équipe. Amina l'a rejoint. Dorénavant l'émission est diffusée de  à . À partir du , l'émission est diffusée de  à  du lundi au jeudi et de  à  le vendredi à la suite du départ de Guillaume Pley. Depuis le , l'émission est diffusée de  à minuit, juste après C'Cauet sur NRJ.

Le , Michaël Espinho est écarté de NRJ pour faute d'audience. L'émission est remplacée par une émission musicale "NRJ By Night" animée par Marie. Cette émission propose un flux musical entrecoupé des meilleurs moments de l'émission "C'Cauet" de Cauet et de "Manu dans le 6-9", la matinale de Manu Lévy. La jeune femme de 28 ans avait pour but de redresser les audiences des soirées de NRJ, à un moment où les radios jeunes ont vu leur auditoire faiblir de plus en plus d'année en année. Sur la vague novembre-décembre 2019, MiKL ne réunissait que 71.000 auditeurs au quart d'heure moyen, perdant 12.000 auditeurs en un an et se faisant battre par Difool sur Skyrock.

Lors de l'été 2020, Mikl annonce le retour de son émission du même nom à la radio à partir du  de  à  avec Le Doc, Lorenza et Amina puis de  à  MIKL no limit, toujours accompagné de celles-ci sur Fun Radio Belgique.

Pendant la saison 2020, Virgin radio teste un nouveau concept d'émission ayant pour but de soutenir de jeunes talents. Une tentative non concluante toutefois puisque seulement 4 000 auditeurs étaient au rendez-vous de « la Team Virgin Radio » entre 21 heures et minuit.

Pour la saison 2021-2022, MiKL se voit confier comme mission de faire remonter ces scores. Un habitué des soirées, puisque l'animateur de 40 ans a enchaîné les apparitions sur ces tranches,

L'émission était diffusée sur Virgin Radio en France depuis le 23 août 2021 et s'est arrêtée le 15 décembre 2022.

Équipe composant l'émission

Équipe initiale

À ses débuts, l'émission était animée par une équipe composée de :
 Mikl (Michaël) qui était l'animateur principal de l'émission depuis 2002 ;
 Toph (Christophe Lebrun) qui était coanimateur de l'émission depuis 2002 ;
 Jack qui était coanimateur et réalisateur de l'émission. Présent dans l'équipe depuis 2002 aussi, il était au tout début standardiste ;
 Roo (anciennement Pokoroo) (Julien) qui était aussi, depuis son arrivée dans l'équipe en , coanimateur de l'émission ;
 Sandro (Sandra) qui était la seule coanimatrice de l'émission. Elle était à l'arrivée de l'émission en France en 2005 standardiste ;
 Pedro (Mathieu), Polo (Rachid) et Pablo (David), « Les Mexicains » depuis 2006. Pedro et Polo ont été les animateurs du best of dominical de l'émission du  au  ;
 Julien, période belge de l'émission, standardiste, coproducteur, 2002.

Jusqu'en 2008, Ced, aussi appelé Jeanssens, était le webmaster de l'émission, et que l'émission est produite depuis la rentrée 2008 par Ben, assisté de Florian à partir de .

Le dernier standardiste fut Micha (depuis 2008) en remplacement de Sandy. Il était aidé jusqu'à la fin de la saison 2008-2009 par Sophie.

Jusqu'à son départ de NRJ, la forte présence du directeur des programmes NRJ se faisait sentir dans l'émission à travers les jingles, les parodies musicales, etc. Présent depuis l'arrivée en France de l'émission, il était appelé « Coach » Freddo par rapport à son prénom. Il continua néanmoins sa participation à travers le personnage de Monsieur Hé dans le Poloshow.

Le , Mikl et son équipe effectuent leur retour sur NRJ avec l'émission Mikl sur NRJ après que celle-ci a quitté Fun Radio (diffusée en Belgique puis en France).

L'équipe est alors composée de :
 Mikl, animateur ;
 Polo, co-animateur (animateur du PoloShow en fin d'émission) ;
 Toph, co-animateur et standardiste ;
 Valentine, standardiste (surnommée « la mollesse » en raison de sa lenteur de réaction).

Dernière équipe
Depuis , l'équipe était composée de :
 Mikl, (Michaël Espinho) :  animateur principal ;
 Amina, (Amina Kasimi) : coanimatrice, auparavant dans l'émission Guillaume radio 2.0 sur NRJ jusqu'en  ;
 Pierre : animateur ;
 Lorenza : standardiste et coanimatrice.

Présentation de l'émission

Généralités

L'émission connait un tournant majeur en 2009. Elle prend l'appellation MIKL, marquant son évolution d'une émission de libre antenne en émission de talk-show, selon le souhait de l'ancien responsable des médias musicaux du groupe NRJ, Christophe Sabot.

À partir de ce moment, elle s'articule autour d'une personne charismatique : Michaël Espinho. Son contenu se construit par le travail de l'équipe en place et non plus par les auditeurs. La ligne éditoriale est mieux définie. L'émission comporte des rubriques people, événementielle ou information, comme Le Mag, présent à l'antenne depuis 2009.

Le Poloshow
Le Poloshow est diffusé en fin d'émission du lundi au vendredi aux alentours de minuit. Il s'agit d'une micro-émission animée par Polo, un des Mexicains, dans laquelle il prend à l'antenne des auditeurs loufoques et sans intérêt, et certains personnages récurrents, tels que Maître Peeters, Le Belge, Jean-Claude, Monsieur Hé, et son chien Chiffon. Ces auditeurs récurrents ont peu à peu laissé place a de nouveaux personnages habituels.

Follow the deadly journey of a ghost net from Indonesia to the coast of Australia, where it is finally transformed by an Indigenous weaver.
An Indonesian trawl fishing boat is a fleck on the horizon in the Arafura Sea. Wayan looks out from the wheelhouse toward home. It has been months since he's seen the shy smile of his new wife. Unfortunately with the increasing number of poaching vessels, Wayan isn't surprised that the fish have been scarce and he fears he'll have to return all but empty handed.
He decides to take one last risk and navigates skilfully through the choppy water. This area is well known for the plentiful shrimp, but is also notorious for sharp coral. Even on the stillest of days precious fishing nets can get ensnared and lost to the sea.

The BizMaroondah EmployAssist Forum is a Council initiated event that invited businesses to learn about the forms of assistance that exist when recruiting new employees. The forum included several community organisations that are involved in assisting jobseekers, with the aim of supporting business growth.
Eastern Volunteers was invited to the forum as an organisation that provides volunteer recruitment. People are increasingly using volunteer roles as a way to develop skills that can assist in gaining potential employment. Research undertaken by BizMaroondah has indicated that employers look favourably upon potential employees that have volunteer experiences.
The forum successfully connected businesses with these community organisations and will hopefully lead to new employment opportunities within Maroondah.

We are developing a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to assist radiologists in detecting microcalcification clusters in digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of a 2D approach using the projection-view (PV) images as input. In the first stage, automated detection of the microcalcification clusters on the PVs is performed. In the second stage, the detected cluster candidates or the individual microcalcifications on the PVs are back-projected to the 3D volume. The true clusters or microcalcifications will therefore converge at their focal planes and ideally will result in higher cluster or microcalcification scores than the FPs. In the final step an analysis of the back-projected cluster or microcalcification candidates is performed to differentiate the true and false clusters. In this pilot study, a limited data set of 39 cases with biopsy proven microcalcification clusters (17 malignant, 22 benign) was used. The DBT scans were obtained in both CC and MLO views using a GE GEN2 prototype system which acquires 21 PVs over a 60º arc in 3º increments. In the 78 DBT volumes, a total of 74 clusters (33 malignant clusters in 34 breasts and 41 benign clusters in 44 breasts) were identified by an experienced radiologist. The computer detected 61% (956/1554) of the clusters on the PVs from the 74 scans. After back-projection of the microcalcification candidates detected on the individual PVs and excluding the first few PVs that had higher noise in back-projection stage, 84% (62/74) of the true clusters were detected in the 3D volume. Study is underway to develop methods to reduce FPs and to compare this 2D approach with 3D or combined 2D and 3D approaches.

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, there's no better way to succeed than by setting SMART money goals. SMART is an acronym that is used in many goal-setting scenarios but is commonly associated with Peter Drucker's Management by Objectives concept.
By applying the SMART concept to your money goals, you will be well on your way to developing a working plan that offers achievable endings.
Your money goal should be clear and precise, so you know exactly what you're working toward. For example, one common money goal is to "save an emergency fund of $500 over the next three months." Setting specific money goals helps you create a plan to achieve your goals.
To stay on track, you'll need to make a money goal that is measurable. If your goal is to save $500 over the next three months, ask yourself this question: "How much will I save every paycheck?" So, in this example, your goal could be to save $41.67 each week for the next twelve weeks. Breaking your money goal down into measurable amounts makes it seem more possible to achieve.
To accomplish your money goal, it needs to be realistic or achievable. For example, to save $500 during the next three months, you'll need to review your budget and either cut expenses or increase income to achieve the $41.67 per week savings to complete this goal. Be sure your money goal is attainable by keeping a balanced budget and tracking expenses along the way.
It's also important that your money goal makes sense for your current situation and that it matters enough for you to see it through. Knowing WHY you want to achieve a financial goal is the key to staying motivated along the way. For example, one reason saving for an emergency fund may be relevant to you is that you want to ensure your ability to handle an emergency, like if your car breaks down. Or perhaps you simply want to reduce stress in your life about money-matters by having a safety net to fall back on. Better yet, maybe you want to save for a vacation with the family!
Every goal needs a target date to keep you focused so that you may see the end in sight, especially a money goal. If you're making sacrifices in your spending or working an extra job to achieve your goals, you will know that it doesn't have to go on forever by setting a target date for the goal.
SMART money goals allow you to define goals clearly. Using the SMART goal setting concept with money goals helps you focus and stay motivated while working toward each goal. Motivation is a critical factor in accomplishing any goal, especially a financial goal. You need the energy to keep going to see each goal all the way through to the end. Combine your SMART goals with a budget, and you'll have yourself a written plan!

Michelle Johnston Holthaus to replace Gregory Bryant as Client Computing GM at Intel
By Hope Corrigan published 12 January 22
Another Intel veteran at the helm.
After being with the company for about 30 years, Intel's GM Gregory Bryant is moving on and will be replaced by Michelle Johnston Holthaus as Executive Vice President and General Manager of Client Computing Business.
As Business Wire reports, Holthaus is no stranger to the company either, being noted as a 25-year Intel veteran, having joined in 1996. Since 2017 she's been the EVP and general manager of the Sales, Marketing and Communications Group, and previously held roles such as leadership of the Microsoft global account team, management of channel products, central marketing and operations for the PC client group, and management of the reseller product group. There's a lot of management in there, so General Management sounds perfect.
"Michelle's track record of success driving global sales and revenue for the last five years, combined with her profound understanding of the client computing business and trusted relationships across the entire industry, make her a natural choice to lead our largest business," Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger praised Holthaus' appointment "Michelle is a proven leader who embodies Intel's values, and I look forward to partnering with her in this new capacity as we drive innovation and unquestioned product leadership across the client business."
The role of General Manager sure lives up to its name. According to Intel "Holthaus will be responsible for all aspects of running and growing the client business, including strategy, financial performance and product development for the full portfolio of client technologies and platforms designed to enable exceptional personal computing experiences." Which straight up sounds like far too many responsibilities for anyone.
Thankfully Holthaus doesn't seem to see it that way. "I am thrilled to take on leadership of Intel's Client Computing Group, an organization with immense talent and long history of delivering leadership products and platforms that create vibrant, open ecosystems," Holthaus said. "We have a tremendous opportunity to build on past successes – and even accelerate our pace as we continue to enable our customers and partners to elevate PC experiences."
Intel is making a lot of changes of late. First there's the hybrid architecture of the Alder Lake CPUs which now work with all games, next the company is moving into GPU manufacturing, and even hiring the engineer who helped Apple move to those powerful M1 chips. Though who knows what we're likely to see of it as the company believes the chip shortage will continue into 2023.

Am I washing my Brother's Feet?
Am I Washing My Brother's Feet?
I pray that many blessings from Almighty God along with the prayers of our Holy Founders will accompany you throughout the year. Let me begin by saying that, from my end, so much has happened this past month. My apologies for being remiss in greeting the January celebrants for their birthdays and special anniversaries, for I was away and did not have our directory in my possession when I wrote my last message. Therefore, this February message of LACARTA includes my well-wishes and greetings for both our January and February Celebrants.
Our creative accompaniment seminar held at our house of Sant'Angelo in Pescheria proved to be a week both enriching and eye-opening for those who participated. We discussed so many areas pertaining to our religious life that need to be strengthened. To continue this process, a presentation is being put together and will be published by our respective Delegate Superiors and Council Fathers. They will be consulting with each of you so as to foster your fuller participation in this exciting and demanding initiative. I pray that we continue this great effort to walk together and aim for encountering Christ more profoundly in our communities. All of this is being done so that we may better serve one another.
I am inspired to ask you this question: "Are you willing to wash your brother's feet"?
It is most pleasing that most of our communities that I have visited are striving to live this spirit of service, each one washing his brother's feet. What does this mean for all of us?
This same question I pose to those applicants and aspirants in our seminaries, "Why do you want to enter our religious family of the CRM?". They most often respond, "I want to celebrate the Mass, preach the Gospel and serve the people of God." This response, plausible and valid, soon becomes the common understanding of our young seminarians. Obviously, this is not bad in itself; however, a vocation to consecrated life needs to be deeper and grow in maturity.
In a word, the good service that we render to the faithful in living and proclaiming the Good News must be rooted in the quality and ongoing practice of our communal and shared religious life.
If such service to our people is to be effective and appreciated, it is because it has been lived and shared with our very own community which we are part of; otherwise we are at peril of living in a state of artificiality. The depth of our service to the people is truly a reflection of our community life. There cannot be a chasm between the work we do and our community life.
This starts with the transformation of our hearts. It is fundamental that we strive to be better and do more within the context of our community life by attending to the needs of our respective communities in whatever form or manner these present themselves to us. It is of little merit at the end of the day to "appear saintly in the eyes of the faithful" when we lack care for our Brothers in the community.
May the Blessed Mother of our Lord, in this month of the commemoration of her apparitions at Lourdes, remain with us and bring us, our Brothers in community, and the people whom we serve, closer to Jesus daily.

This chipotle vegan black bean soup can be made in an Instant Pot or slow cooker. It's a great make ahead meal that's loaded with nutrients and bursting with flavor!

I know, I know, it's still August. But I promise that I felt a chill in the air the other night. The humidity is slowly but surely decreasing, and I can pretty much smell the crisp fall air. Isn't that an automatic excuse to transition my diet to chili, soup, and casseroles? Maybe not. But that hasn't stopped me from having this soup on rotation all week long!
This recipe was originally posted as a slow cooker (Crock Pot) recipe. I recently tried out this soup in my new Instant Pot, and I can't believe how easy it was to make! There's always a case to make for slow cooking, but pressure cooking currently has my heart.
Recipes for slow cooker and Instant Pot black bean soup are included here, because this soup tastes amazing both ways!
Chipotle chili peppers and smoked paprika pack a punch in this chipotle vegan black bean soup. Smoked paprika is my new favorite spice; adding just a little bit gives a whole new depth of flavor.
Black beans provide a host of health benefits. They're high in soluble fiber, which helps to promote digestion. A diet high in fiber has also been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing inflammation. This black bean soup makes it easy to get in a healthy serving of black beans and fiber!
Place the ingredients in your Instant Pot and cover with the lid. Set the steam valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 45 minutes, then release naturally for 10 minutes. Release the remaining steam manually, careful to avoid the steam.
How do you like to top your black bean soup? I'm a sucker for anything crunchy, so I usually add crunched up tortilla chips. This soup is so flavorful on it's own, but no good soup is complete without toppings.
This lightly spicy and smokey black bean soup packs a punch of flavor. It can be made in your pressure cooker or slow cooker.
Cover the black beans in one inch of water and soak for at least 6 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse black beans, making sure to remove any stones or debris.
Add all ingredients to a large slow cooker. Cook on high for 7-8 hours, or until black beans are softened.
Once the beans are very soft, use an immersion blender to puree about one third of the soup, or transfer one third of the soup to a blender. If using a blender, blend the soup in batches and be careful to not fill more than half the blender at a time., as the beans will release a lot of heat and steam. Return the pureed soup to the crock pot.
Season with additional lime juice, hot sauce, and salt as needed.
Place all ingredients in the Instant Pot. Close the lid and place the vent to "sealing".
Cook the soup on manual high pressure for 45 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release manually.
Remove the lid, careful to avoid any steam. Use an immersion blender to puree about one third of the soup, or transfer one third of the soup to a blender and puree. If using a blender, blend the soup in batches and be careful to not fill more than half the blender at a time, as the beans will release a lot of heat and steam. Return the pureed soup to the pressure cooker pot.
Serve with additional fresh peppers, corn, and tortilla chips. Store refrigerated in an airtight container for 5-7 days, or freeze in individual containers for easy access.

Todd Gurley Dealing With Arthritis In Knee
March 2nd, 2019 at 1:44pm CST by Sam Robinson
Although both Todd Gurley and the Rams downplayed his knee injury, it was clearly an issue during the NFC champions' stretch run. More clarity emerged on that front to help explain the two-time All-Pro's limited postseason usage.
Gurley has arthritis in his left knee, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe (on Twitter). This is the same knee on which Gurley underwent ACL surgery in 2014, his final season at Georgia.
Sean McVay said this week surgery is "definitely" not in the cards but added during an interview with CBS Sports the Rams were examining "new methods" to help their ailing superstar. But it appears some form of rehab will be forthcoming, and the major investment the Rams made in Gurley does not look quite as good as it did last summer.
Still just 24, Gurley has posted three 1,000-yard rushing seasons and was on pace to push for a 25-plus-touchdown campaign in 2018. He missed the final two games of the regular season, scuttling that prospect and causing concern for his playoffs availability. Gurley was a key presence in the Rams' ground-centered gashing of the Cowboys in the divisional round, but C.J. Anderson remain a big factor throughout the playoffs. Gurley averaged 5.3 yards per carry in the playoffs but totaled just 160 in Los Angeles' three games, ceding time to Anderson and not frequently resembling his explosive pre-injury version.
Anderson, who made a seamless transition to McVay's offense that is somewhat similar to the Gary Kubiak-based attack in which the Broncos' former starter operated, is a free agent but would make sense as a longer-term Gurley insurance option.
Gurley's gargantuan contract calls for $34.5MM in fully guaranteed money going forward. Another $9.5MM is guaranteed for injury. His status will obviously be something to monitor throughout the offseason.

Ouch this hurts the Rams bad

I can't believe we aren't hearing anything more serious about his knee yet, unless the Rams are hiding even more. No way it's just arthritis.
grizzled sports vet • 5 months ago
It could be that it is just arthritis but maybe it is more advanced for someone his age. Arthritis happens a lot after injuries, just like scar tissue. He can have a procedure to scrape some of the arthritis away but it can come back. The fact he already has it will probably shorten his career and will definitely have a negative impact on his quality of life when his career is over. Sad to see for the amount of talent he has, but there are a lot of players that never reach their potential because of injuries.
Alec Kinnear • 4 months ago
Looks like the best solution for the team is as much therapy and surgery as possible now to play out his contract and then an early retirement. If Gurley doesn't want to go ahead with the fast track (there are medical consequences for him but he's well paid for the risk), he'll have to be dealt to a cap rich team who can afford to take a flyer on a part time running back.

Funny how they're downplaying the fact that the RAMS didn't disclose any issue with Gurley for the playoffs or SuperBowl… seems like a pretty clear rules violation.

Preprints (earlier versions) of this paper are available at http://preprints.jmir.org/preprint/756, first published Sep 19, 1999.
Introduction: Concern about health information quality on the Internet has focused on the 'demand side' - evaluation problems experienced by end-users. Less consideration has been given to the organisational circumstances in which health Web sites are created - the 'supply-side'. This project presents a case study of social and organisational factors affecting the development of a diabetes centre Web site.
Methods: Action Research was used to develop a simple WWW site for Salford Diabetes Centre within Hope Hospital's 'Clinical Sciences Web'. A stakeholder matrix for evaluating IT products in diabetes care was used. Content was gathered from meetings, interviews, telephone calls, email messages and letters over a 2 year period. Style and content were kept simple so that: a) tight control over quality of information could be retained, and b) findings could be generalised to settings where technical expertise or network infrastructure may not be advanced. The Web designer was distanced from the diabetes centre to typify a 'consultancy' approach where external Web design services are 'bought in' because of expertise and technology provided, rather than specialist knowledge of, or integration within, the host organisation. A key hypothesis was that integration of the Web designer within the host organisation may be related to the quality of Web site produced.
Discussion: The evidence suggests the quality of a health Web site in meeting its aims may indeed be related to the web designer's degree of integration within the host organisation. However, it is possible that, if the aims are sufficiently limited, they can be met by a web designer who is not strongly integrated within the host organisation. For a 'corporate' site to be developed beyond a host organisation, a local stakeholder matrix may be useful.

Q: Limit of ACL on x86 sles12 file system type xfs Since the specific limits at which the file system fails depends on the OS, we have a test that validates just that we can get up to 500 entries on an ACL, and that 4000 entries fails (should fail on all UNIX platforms at that level), this test has been working for a long time on different architecture and os version.
Recently while running the test on:
cat /etc/os-release
NAME="SLES"
VERSION="12-SP1"
VERSION_ID="12.1"
PRETTY_NAME="SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP1"
ID="sles"
ANSI_COLOR="0;32"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:suse:sles:12:sp1"

and filesystem type:
cat /etc/fstab
UUID=61e7-43bb-8cdc-80a3718e27b9 /                    xfs        defaults              1 1

it passes and able to set ACL upto 4000 and doesn't complain, so I wanted to know whether OS allows for this file system to have this many acls and what's the limit?

A: Xfs had a limit of 25 ACL entries for a long time but the limit was lifted in kernel 3.11. For xfs v5 or later, the limit is now as many as fit in the extended attribute list (64kB), which at 12 bytes per entry means 5460 entries if there are no other extended attributes (e.g. no SELinux context).
I think some Linux filesystems can compress most ACL entries down to 4 bytes which would allow a little under 16384 entries.
I don't understand why you'd test that there is a maximum number of ACL entries. This is not something you can count on. At any time the number could become effectively unlimited.

Weather Warning
Harris hoping to focus on reducing third-level fees
Updated / Monday, 31 Aug 2020 12:09
The Minister said the new regulations in terms of the number of people that can gather indoors 'will not apply' to the numbers in a third-level lecture hall
The Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science has said he is committed to working to reduce third level fees.
Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne, Simon Harris said the registration fee for students is "too high" and he would like to see fees addressed during his tenure as minister.
"I've been Minister for eight weeks and I would like to look at this over the lifetime of the Government, obviously we have a budget in October," Mr Harris said.
He assured that the SUSI grant system will be flexible to "take on board if a family's income has changed due to Covid-19."
Minister Harris said the student assistance fund has been doubled, and €15 million has been spent to purchase 17,000 laptops, which students can apply for through their access office, as he said, "each university will decide on their own criteria."
"The cost of education has risen," he said. "It is costing more to provide college education in a Covid environment, smaller classes, and longer opening hours."
Priority will be placed on classes that have a practical element, Minister Harris said, in relation to how much time third-level students are expected to be spending on campus, and also on first year students.
On the issue of college accommodation, he said new rules will help accommodate people, so that their housemates will also share the same lectures, so as to limit the number of contacts.

Minister Harris said college authorities will be responsible for ensuring that rules are adhered to in terms of college accommodation.
He said timetables "are a real issue". He acknowledged the logistical challenge for third-level authorities, but said he hoped that "over the next fortnight, everybody will get their full timetable."
The Minister urged institutions to provide students with an indication of the number of days that they are likely to spend on campus, versus online learning, to allow a "level of clarity" to students who may need to book accommodation.
The Minister said he believes students were treated "a bit shabbily in the last lockdown", as he said they should get refunded for accommodation if there are further closures.
"We need to make sure that if there are further restrictions and the colleges are closed, that all students get refunded."
On the issue of Leaving Certificate results, Minister Harris said CAO will make offers on the 11 September.
He said Minister for Education Norma Foley is refining the standardisation process and is due to update cabinet tomorrow.
The Minister said he is trying to create more college places especially in areas where there is a "societal need" he said, like in health, education and technology.
In relation to the calculated grade system, Minister Harris said, "there cannot be a change in the results after they are published."
He explained that there are differences in the UK system than what is taking place here.
"In the UK they gave grades, in Ireland students are given a precise percentage. In the UK there was too high a focus on historical performance of a school whereas in Ireland there is real primacy in the teacher's estimated mark."
The Minister said the new regulations in terms of the number of people that can gather indoors "will not apply" to the numbers in a third-level lecture hall, as education is deemed "essential."
Masks should be worn where it is not possible to maintain a two-metre distance or in congregated settings, he said.
Colleges will be treated as any other workplace if there is a positive case of Covid-19, the Minister said.
"All close contacts will be traced. Colleges will be keeping attendance logs for each lecture."
He said it will be determined by public health authorities if a third-level institution should close as a result of a confirmed case of Covid-19.
"Let's be honest. There will be cases of Covid-19 in our colleges. We shouldn't panic. If it is required, public health authorities will step in and carry out a risk assessment."
He said the student assistance fund will provide support to students for connectivity to access their classes online.
"This is not a perfect scenario. We are trying to maximise the time attending college without risking the health of students and of those working there."
He said the undertaking of internships will be decided "on a case-by-case basis", and will be decided upon using the public health advice available.
He cited the example of nurses, who spend a significant about of time on work placement, "and we need them back", he added.

Q: Physical to Virtual Conversion for Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition I have a physical Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition server that I would like to convert into a virtual machine on my Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V Server. Has anyone had any luck creating a Hypver V VHD from an exisiting Physical Windows 2003 server? What steps have you taken to convert the physical machine to a VHD?

A: I believe the official tool for this is SCVMM. You can get the R2 RC free here:
http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/virtualmachinemanager/en/us/default.aspx
I personally haven't used this, but from what I understand it allows P2V conversions.

A: I was going to post this as a comment to one of the above answers, but as two of them tackle the same subject, I thought I had better post this as an actual answer.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager does Physical-2-Virtual conversions (and Virtual-2-Physical as well) to Hyper-V, as well as converting VMWare VM images to HyperV.
I have used SCVMM to image working, crufted up legacy systems and it has worked perfectly every single time - no issues, no problems, it has simply worked and left me with a Hyper-V image that has soldiered on.
I have done this probably 30 or 40 times.  Windows 2003 systems, old developer machines when they received new hardware, specific environments.  All sorts of systems.  And they all worked perfectly after the P2V conversion.
I was even impressed that a HP OEM Windows XP image only required the XP key to be reentered, and it validated fine.  Your mileage may vary on that one tho.
But yes, if you use SCVMM the process is harmless, simple and painless.  The physical system is left as-is so you can return to it if you need to, and you get a nice VM to use in its place.

A: I have not done this using Hyper-V, but I have done multiple P2V's with VMware to ESX. Notable issues there are missing and/or different drivers for disks, NICs etc. and also OS requiring Reactivation. I would expect that you would have these same issues with Hyper-V as the same underlying principals to virtualization apply. Neither of these issues caused us any real headache when moving virtual on any of our boxes though and I would expect the same thing for you.

A: There are also some drivers that are loaded on the physical system that I removed from the Device manager after the migration. These were the serial and parallel ports as well as some Dell RAID controllers.
Overall the process was very smooth.
(This was a P2V migration to ESX, but the same should apply)

A: I haven't don it to Hyper-v and I susually recommend against P2V unless you have some software that is a real pain to re-install or software that is CPUID licensed.  Any consolidation or virtulization effort should warrant redeploying the machines so you can get clean installs on the "new" hardware.  Both ESX and HYPER-V SCVMM have the abilty to deploy loads of machines quickly so actually buidling the new VMs isn't painful, its the re-install of the apps on them.

В двадцатую годовщину трагедии, сев в свою машину, она замечает на заднем сидении Луиса, недавно вышедшего из тюрьмы и жаждущего поквитаться. Он наставляет на Алекс пистолет и велит ехать в заброшенный парк развлечений, где они впервые встретились. После высказываний Луиса о последующим визите к её младшей сестре Сандре Алекс направляет машину на большой скорости с причала в реку.

Она внезапно просыпается в собственной ванной, где, задремав, ушла под воду. С этих пор у Алекс начинают появляться галлюцинации, в которых она видит Луиса и ужасающих мертвецов. Через знакомого полицейского она получает дело Сигрэма, в котором написано о его смерти во время автомобильной аварии. Алекс чувствует, что конец её видениям находится в заброшенном парке развлечений.

Актёры

Релиз
«Карнавал душ» вышел 21 августа 1998 года в ограниченный прокат в кинотеатрах и в конечном счёте был выпущен direct-to-video в США и других странах.

Фильм получил негативные оценки критиков и имеет 20 % свежести на агрегаторе рецензий Rotten Tomatoes.

Your religious studies teacher will spot your weaknesses and help you overcome them. You can reinforce your understanding of specific topics such as theology. Or you may need guidance on how to write a religious studies essay. Whatever your needs are, our religion tutors are ready to share their knowledge and experience to help you.
