An information system is not the same as the technology upon which it is based: it is the totality of technological and human components that work together to produce the information services that are needed, for organisational purposes. We make sense of technology by engineering it into information systems that include all the components of a working system, including the human capability to work with the system to deliver outputs.
Information systems have traditionally been developed and maintained by the "systems development department". There we find systems analysts, database designers, and specialists who can test systems and make sure that they work according to the specification. But today things are changing. Why design and build a unique solution when a software package already exists? Answer: when competitive advantage lies in the possibility to have systems that are different to everyone elses.
Overby, E., Bharadwaj, A. & Sambamurthy, V. (2006) Enterprise agility and the enabling role of information technology. European Journal of Information Systems, 15, pp.120-131.
As an early step in researching enterprise agility more exhaustively, Eric Overby and his colleagues have studied the way that organisations sense impending change, and then respond to it. By assessing how good organisations are at sensing, and then responding, they identify four types of organisation: those that lack both (don't invest there!), those that sense but fail to respond, those that do not sense but respond well when the need arises, and (the ideal?) that can do both. They observe that this leads to good R&D, the best application of IT, good governmental relations, excellent market intelligence, and so on. This allows an organisation to detect the environmental change that comes from new technologies, regulatory changes and so on; these problems can be turned into opportunities. They consider that a firm's IT capability is directly related to sensing and responding components of enterprise agility. They refer to the emergence of the web and the way that only some businesses were able to sense and respond, essentially because of their level of IT capability that rendered them able to anticipate and sense changes arising from advances in IT. They refer to a wide range of other work in this area, for example Haeckel & Nolan who more than 20 years ago referred to "managing in conditions so turbulent that sense making and action are impossible" without what they called "IT enabling, managing by wire". "Effective use of IT is one method for firms to kick off and sustain [a] virtuous cycle [of agility], as IT enhances both sensing and responding capabilities. When investments in IT serve to increase the process and knowledge capabilities of a firm, they create a powerful platform of digital options that can enable the firm to sense and respond to rapidly changing environmental conditions."
A Review of the Literature and Conceptual Framework. Communications of the Association for Information Systems, 31 (1), p.8. This is a rather academic (and therefore quite difficult) analysis of existing literature about agility. It concludes that agility comes from a range of factors: -	The use of enterprise systems (such as ERP, CRM, SCM) in building and renewing their sensing and responding capabilities. -	Better alignment and higher levels of enterprise systems-enabled sensing capability and enterprise system-enabled responding capability. -	A high level of enterprise system technical competence They also conclude that organizations working in fast-changing environments are more likely to develop high enterprise system competence, and a high enterprise system-enabled sensing and responding capability, than those that operate in a relatively stable environment; probably a case of the blindingly obvious, but it is good to see that serious research supports it!
Grover, V. (2012) The Information Systems Field: Making a Case for Maturity and Contribution. Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 13 (4), pp.254-272.
Varun Grover provides a personal overview of the emergence of academic thinking about information systems capability that can be compared with what is written here. He identifies four eras: an early era before the need for academic treatment of information systems management (other disciplines such as electrical engineering and mathematics dealt with the basics of how computers work), initial agonising about what should be done following the first ICIS conference in 1980, rapid theoretical and methodological development of the field in the 1990s, and fragmentation with the emergence of specific topics such as mobile technologies, e-business, and value-based management of information systems investments since then. I rather enjoyed his analysis of information systems research as … an aggregator of terms a complex adaptive system a knowledge market, and a biological organism. This is an authoritative overview of information systems research over the ages, adopting a particularly interesting perspective.


i watched through those and i really love them ^^ You have a very good drawing style and i really like the poses you give the slenderman, especially the one on the attack!
The only thing i'd for improvement say is you could try to add some more details and shadows to your Artwork, but i already think it's great the way it is ^^ I'd definately like to see more!
I haven't drawn anything for a while but i might give it a go for slenderman soon, so maybe I can post something here in a few days!!
I love the way you draw Slenderman's hand grasping out toward the viewer, and the "There Isn't Enough Face For All The Facepalm" picture is just awesome. Your drawing style is great! Draw more!
I love your Slendy's lines of action as well as his tendrils. His tendrils are just...everywhere. I also appreciate getting a good story per picture. You can really set a scene.
Warning: concept art, failed story ideas, some are quite silly/lame.
I love your Slendy's lines of action as well as his tendrils. His tendrils are just... everywhere. I also appreciate getting a good story per picture. You can really set a scene.
I love, love, love drawing Slendy's tendrils! They're just so abstract and so much fun to make writhe, curl, and bend around, like big flexible noodles or something. They sense as much as interact, they destroy as much as curiously test, they are simultaneously gentle and brutal, sometimes curving lightly as they react to stimuli around him, and sometimes just shooting straight through your ribcage to rip your lungs out. There is something brutally graceful and gruesomely beautiful in the Slenderman's strange and abnormal form, and I always enjoy playing around with the abstractness of it and with Slendy's tendrils in general because I love the surreal, the abstract, and the strange. He's incredibly fun to draw for me!
Oh, and I write as well as draw, and have been writing poetry and short fiction (as well as fanfiction, but not the creepy kind) for the past nine years. Started in elementary school and never really stopped after that. So if I'm good at setting a scene, that's probably why.
lot for posting this here too ^^I'd love to see more in the future!!!
comments are appreciated cause i really want to improve!!!
There goes my fanclub membership.
I'd say that your girl is just stylized more than he; her hair is actually quite good, just inconsistent with him, unless you were to do his tendrils in the same "cartoony" way, like in the first one. Maybe less shadows.
I'd losen your hand up as well; one thing I was advised in school was to not draw perfect lines, but many lines, then accentuate the perfect line when it appeared. This gives a sort of unfinished feel sometimes but it does wonders for the sensitivity of the drawing and the possibilities are endless. In fact, I was told that perfecting my lines flattened the image! Imagine my frustration, as I am a miserable perfectionist at times when it comes to art.
Also, I find a line of action and drawing the figure first as a mannequin helps a lot, too.
I hope I'm not being overbearing; I love the German, by the way. Are you German/know German?
I'd love to know what the picture says, actually.
Yeah, it seems like you did some searching lines; I'd just say keep the wrist loose. It's kinda fun. And I hate hands. They're evil.
"once you see me you'll never be alone again."
I hate hands. They're evil.
Oh it is a compliment, Armadeira. ^^ I enjoy creepy things. Wouldn't be here in the vast forest that is this fandom if I weren't.
... Huh. Has anyone ever done a Slenderblog set during WWII? That could actually be really, really fascinating.
Also have some more art of mine.
And that's actually everything I have for now. I do have some other sketches and stuff but I haven't scanned them in yet.
i love the slenderwalk one with the mist!!!
Redrew the Quick Operator Sketch recently, so that should be up soon.


Sometimes, one can be surprised by the gifts passed on to you by other gardeners, especially if that gift comes in the form of seed.
Seven years ago, my mother was given two sets of chilli seeds by a friend, aware of my interest in growing them. Unaware of what we had been given, but very grateful for the gift, the seeds were planted in my mother's garden… and promptly forgotten! Some weeks later, a group of four or five pretty little plants had sprouted. To our surprise, the plants had lovely variegated leaves.
The chilli was Fish Chilli, a variety of Capsicum annuum, an heirloom variety… an absolutely wonderful gift!
It is believed that Fish Chilli originated in the United States in the coastal areas around Baltimore and Philadelphia. The African-American communities used the cream-green, immature form of the chilli to season creamy oyster and crab dishes. The fish sauces would retain their cream colour, untainted by the colouring of red chill, but would have a surprising piquancy. The origin of this chilli is a fascinating tale in itself and there is an interesting recount of this at Garden Betty.
Fish Chilli is not a tall plant, growing to about 50 or 60 centimetres in height. It is beautiful at all stages of its growth: When the cream-green, immature pods ripen, they become orange with red stripes, some remaining totally red.
Like all Capsicum annuum plants, the Fish Chilli has a disconcerting, or fascinating habit… this depends upon your attitude, of course. If it is close planted with other Capsicum annuum species, the wind and insects performing their pollinating duties, its progeny will develop characteristics of the nearby plant… Unusual colour forms will appear in your garden… If you wish to retain genuine Fish Chilli plants generation after generation, it must be planted at a distance from other chilli plants. Be warned… the albino variegation of the Fish Chilli is a recessive gene: it is possible to lose the original characteristics of the plant over time, even in the first new generation of seedlings.
On the positive side, the remarkable variegations of the Fish Chilli might well be passed on in other plant forms and colours.
It is a worthy plant for all gardens, a curiosity of the chilli family.


"Now, there will be a mandatory vote on the prime minister in a couple of weeks and then we'll vote 'no' to all governments that do not give us any influence," Åkesson said and added that he hoped current Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Löfven would go as soon as possible.
When asked which policy areas he would like to see the SD have an influence on, Åkesson listed several including immigration, pensions, and crime policy.
Åkesson also extended a hand to Moderate Party leader Ulf Kristersson saying: "If you want a majority in the Riksdag (Swedish national legislature) then you should talk to us," but admitted no parties had reached out to him at this stage.
With no clear majority for the Social Democrat coalition or the centre-right Alliance, the task of forming a new government in Sweden is unclear.
While the Social Democrat alliance with the Green Party received 32.7 percent of the vote, the Alliance scored 40.3 percent. But due to the Social Democrats being the largest party, they have the first opportunity at forming a government and could beat the Alliance if they include the far-left Left Party in a new coalition — but still not have a majority.
Another scenario could see the Social Democrats reach out to the Liberals and Centre Party, both members of the Alliance, to come close to a majority at 46.8 percent. The Social Democrats had previously tried to attract the two parties after the 2014 election but were rejected.
"In particular, foreign electoral officers responded to how easy it was to see how people would vote, as most voters open the ballot papers without hiding their choice," she added.
The number of invalid votes and spoiled ballots greatly increased from 2014 which saw 15,485 invalid votes while the 2018 election saw an increase of nearly 10,000 with 24,479 in total.

Q: is_admin returning false in backend in server side rendered block I have a server side rendered block that lists cards with page thumbnails and the title wrapped in a link.
I want that the link only gets a href when I'm in the frontend so I avoid clicking on the cards by mistake in the backend and getting redirected to the card page.
Here is my code:
$link = is_admin() ? ""
        : " href='" . get_permalink($post->ID) . "'";

echo <<<CPTItem

CPTItem;

Unfortunately is_admin() is returning false in the backend in the block itself. I really don't know why, the only thing I can think about is that it's because the block is server side rendered.
Is there a way around?

A: If you have a server side rendered block in the backend, it is rendered via the REST API endpoint /wp/v2/block-renderer/xyz/blockname. This endpoint calls your render function. In the frontend the render function is called directly. The function is_admin() checks if a backend page was requested. In a REST API Request is no backend page, so the function returns false on REST API requests.
Instead you can check, if it is a REST API request via:
if ( defined( 'REST_REQUEST' ) && REST_REQUEST ) {
    return 'Backend';
} else {
    return 'Frontend';
};

Q: Using CancelOutputRead method of Process class, the right way? I've stumbled upon following piece of code when I'm debugging a class which starts a child process like this
process.Start();
//Attached event handlers for ErrorDataReceived and OutputDataReceived events
process.BeginErrorReadLine();
process.BeginOutputReadLine();
//Some other logic
process.CancelErrorRead();
process.CancelOutputRead();
//Process is still running from here on..

I was doing this exercise because the child process stops responding after a while. Removing the last two lines of code resolves the issue, but I couldn't explain the reason for resolution.
MSDN has this

When you call CancelErrorRead, all in-progress read operations for StandardError are completed and then the event handler is disabled. All further redirected output to StandardError is saved in a buffer

So my question is
What happens to the process when the buffer is full ?
what's the size of the buffer ?
Did the process become unresponsive because the buffer limit is reached and there are no worker threads reading from it ?
How can I confirm my theory ?
I couldn't find much information online, so hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for help.

[Photo story] Hong Kong national security law: A different birthday for Hong Kong
By ThinkChina
ThinkChina, 思想中国
Hong Kong returned to China 23 years ago today. Little would it have known then that as it marks this milestone today, a contentious national security law that punishes crimes of terrorism, secession, subversion and collusion with foreign forces with sentences as long as life imprisonment has just been passed. With the law in effect, the city has already made its first arrests. ThinkChina brings you on a photo journey through a Hong Kong that will never quite be the same again.

Translated by Grace Chong on 1 July 2020
1 July 2020 will go down in history as a memorable day for the people of Hong Kong. Not only does it mark the 23rd anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, it is also the day after the national security law for Hong Kong was passed unanimously at the 20th session of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress on 30 June at 11pm.
While officials of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) celebrated the return with ceremonies, parades and songs, pro-democracy activists and their supporters continued to take to the streets for the annual handover anniversary march and to protest against the implementation of the law. The authorities had earlier barred the rally and march, citing a ban on gatherings of more than 50 people in a bid to curb coronavirus. Local media reported that up to 4,000 police officers would be deployed to stamp out any protests. Amid the chaos, a first arrest was made under the national security law.
"A man was arrested for holding a #HKIndependence flag in #CausewayBay, Hong Kong, violating the #NationalSecurityLaw," the Hong Kong police tweeted, sharing a picture of the arrested man and the flag.
The Western world has reacted strongly to the passing of the law, while across the strait, Taiwan opened a new office in Taipei to assist Hong Kongers wanting to move to the island.

Speaking at a reception following the flag-raising ceremony, HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam said that the law is "an inevitable and prompt decision to restore stability in the society".
"This legislation is considered the most important development in the relationship between the central and Hong Kong governments since the handover, and is a historic step in improving the mechanisms to safeguard the country's sovereignty, territorial integrity and security," she said.

The media briefing
According to a Bloomberg report, Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, called the legislation a "sword of Damocles" at a briefing held by the State Council Information Office in Beijing that lasted nearly two and a half hours. "The law is a 'sword of Damocles' hanging above extremely few criminals who are severely endangering national security," he said.
Zhang added that he believes the law will deter foreign forces who try to interfere with Hong Kong affairs, and will be a turning point to put Hong Kong back on its track.

Zhang also told reporters that the law "is a birthday gift to [Hong Kong] and will show its precious value in the future", said a Reuters report. He added that the law would not be applied retroactively, and the mainland's national security office in Hong Kong could exercise jurisdiction over "complex" or "serious" cases of offence.
In response to Western governments' criticisms of the law, Zhang is quoted by AFP to have said, "What's this got to do with you?" He then added, "It's none of your business."

Across the strait, Taiwan opened a new office to assist Hong Kongers wanting to move to the island. According to an AFP report, around 5,000 Hong Kongers moved to Taiwan last year amid massive anti-government protests.
Taiwan's government said it would cover "necessary expenses" for those who come to the island for political reasons because their freedom and safety are under threat. Such applications would be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Chen Ming-tong, head of Taiwan's China-policy making Mainland Affairs Council said that the new office is "not a rescue" project and would also deal with requests from Hong Kongers seeking to study or work and companies looking to invest in Taiwan.

The tribute to mark the day
The following tribute is penned by Hong Kong columnist Chip Tsao to mark the transition from 30 June to 1 July:
Today is 30 June 2020. Some say it is truly Hong Kong's last day.
But I believe that Hong Kong's fate is determined by the Hong Kongers themselves. If you give up, Hong Kong ends. If you persevere, Hong Kong lives on.
But when the situation changes, you have to change as well. Because the meaning of "change" is very rich. Do you still remember the "be water" philosophy from a year ago?
To "be water" is to change in some aspects but remain unchanging in others. Its chemical structure of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom remains unchanged, but as the season changes from one to another, its form can change — from liquid, to solid, and then to gas — and should change.
Water is space, paths, and life. Once we understand this, we would know that Hong Kong does not have a deadline — the year 1997 was not its deadline, and the year 2020 should not be its deadline as well. The year 2047 in the future would not be its deadline either.
Take a look at the current interdependent world. No matter who stays, or who temporarily leaves, it is a bright and wide world out there. As long as people stay, the heart remains, and justice endures. Even if people leave, they will come back someday.
We only part to meet again. The best we can do is to remain calm while helping others without claiming credit — just like water that brings life but does not compete. Tomorrow is just another day. Hong Kong is not dead. As long as you live, the heart and soul find their homes even from the furthest corners of the earth.

The Fairmount Park Conservancy and Fairmount Park initiated the first-ever comprehensive plan for historic Hunting Park. The plan provides a framework for improvements, a strategy to implement them over time, and the creation of a park advocacy organization. The project recognizes the importance of creating a safe and well-maintained park, which will provide a place for healthy recreation for children and families, bring neighbors together, and serve as a catalyst for neighborhood renewal.
The plan for the 90 acre park envisions the restoration of the historic landscape and structures, improvements to pedestrian and vehicular circulation, the renovation and expansion of existing athletic, picnic and playground facilities, and the introduction of community gardens and a farmers' market. The first phase provided dramatic improvements to existing site lighting and visual access throughout the park, while the second phase included installation of an artificial turf field and reconstruction of the baseball field.

To Kill A Mockingbird Perspective Analysis
Essay SampleCheck Writing Quality
"A child educated only through school is an uneducated child," as said by George Santayana, an Italian philosopher and novelist. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, the characters clearly show how important it is to understand morals and perspectives. Through many conflicts and misunderstandings, the adults in the novel educate the children about the basis of accepting and understanding one another and how important it is. The most significant theme shown through the narrative, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, is the education of children in morals and perspectives is important, this theme is shown through three events, being taught morals, demonstrating them, and how learning them has affected them.

Scout is first to notice while at school with her teacher, Miss. Gates, "'How can you hate Hitler so bad' an then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home'" (Lee, 331). Scout knows the prejudice Hitler has and understands why Miss. Gates hates him. Then she sees her talk about Tom Robinson like it is nothing, before the trial and learning everything she has, she would not have thought anything about it. Now, however, she knows the kind of prejudice that is going through Miss. Gate's mind and still does not understand how someone can think that way. Not only at the school does Scout see things differently than before, but also at home. When Atticus comes home and tells Miss. Maudie, Aunt Alexandra, and Scout that Tom Robinson is dead, Scout knows it is not acceptable to act how she usually does with her Aunt. She states at the party, "After all, if Aunty could be a lady at a time like this, so could I" (Lee, 318). All throughout the book Scout has disliked her Aunt and has done the opposite of what she wants. She always wanted Scout to act like a lady but that just was not who Scout was. When Atticus told the the news about Mr. Robinson, Scout realized the burden it had on her Aunt. She decides to finally act like a lady with her Aunt, because she knows it is the right thing to do in her situation. While at her Aunt's party with the women from the town, she starts to notice the ladies speaking of what she thought to be Tom Robinson. During that time she reflects on the trial and the decision that was made. She thinks to herself, "Well, neither of us was the Mayor of Birmingham, but I wished I was the Governor of Alabama for one day: I'd let Tom Robinson go so quick the Missionary Society wouldn't have time to catch its breath" (Lee, 313). Earlier in the book, Scout did not think anything of African Americans

Vices In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
Aunt Alexandra forces Scout to wear a dress instead of her overalls because she is too boyish. It is wrong to force a dress code in society to look lady-like as a person's clothing can be part of their identity, Lastly, the thought that there is a certain way a girl should act is wrongful. For example, Jem tells Scout that "It's time you started bein' a girl and acting right!"(Lee 153) because he gains a new set of values after reading to Mrs. Dubose on the day of her death. These values affect Scout harmfully as it imposes that she is not a girl because of the way she acts. Though through these comments the audience can learn about how immoral it is to tell someone to live their life a certain way.…

Research Group IBON rated SONA 2010 promises vs performance
Marya Salamat July 24, 2011 IBON, noynoy 1st year, Philippine economy, sona 2011
By bulatlat.com
The public deserves better than a selective presentation of facts and figures in the president's first year, and is hoping to be given a whole picture of the state of the nation. This is the challenge for President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino issued today by non-government research group IBON.
"Pres. Benigno Aquino III's first state of the nation address (SONA) in July 2010 was short on meaningful promises on the economy," Ibon recalled, saying that the shortage "reflected the lack of a meaningful vision for developing the country and its populist but narrow anti-corruption/anti-Arroyo platform."
Looking back on his first SONA, the group said that promises on jobs and social services have been undone, while Aquino's other promises, such as on privatization, "are better left undone."
Jobs situation. Pres. Aquino declared in his first SONA: "Paalala lang po:una sa ating plataporma ang paglikha ng mga trabaho (A reminder to all: creating jobs is foremost on our agenda)." It is possible that the SONA will cite 1.4 million jobs created, some 228,000 less unemployed (to 2.9 million), and a 0.8 percentage point reduction in unemployment (to 7.2%), between April 2010 and April 2011.
But IBON said this is not the whole situation and joblessness actually remains high while the quality of work has even worsened.
The real number of jobless Filipinos is actually some 4.5 million, correcting for an Arroyo-era change in definition of unemployment continued by Pres. Aquino that statistically reduces unemployment by not counting 1.6 million jobless Filipinos. IBON also said the reported job creation of 1.4 million was also off-set by the 1.2-million growth in the labor force and the drastically large 829,000 increase in the number of underemployed or those with work but still seeking additional work because they are still not earning enough.
The real jobs situation is that the number of unemployed and underemployed Filipinos increased by over 600,000 in the first year of the Aquino administration– by IBON's estimates now numbering 11.6 million Filipinos.
In terms of wages the administration has also given even less to workers than the previous Arroyo government, IBON said, explaining that Aquino's Php22 wage hike for the National Capital Region (NCR) in May 2011 was less than the Php25 hike that former president Arroyo gave on two occasions and, because of inflation, the real value of the mandated minimum wage is even Php13 lower than reached during the previous administration.
The poor jobs performance is not surprising, said IBON, given how Pres. Aquino "shallowly reduced the jobs problem to cumbersome bureaucratic processes: 'Lalago lamang ang industriya kung gagawin nating mas malinis, mas mabilis, at mas maginhawa ang proseso para sa mga gustong magnegosyo (Growth will only be possible if we streamline processes to make them predictable, reliable and efficient for those who want to invest).' Whereas the problem rather is poor land distribution and the lack of support for Filipino-owned industries."
Social services. Pres. Aquino also declared: "Oras na maipatupad ang
public-private partnerships… mapopondohan ang mga serbisyong panlipunan (Once we implement public-private partnerships we will be able to fund social services)." The first year of the administration has exposed the dangers of relying on private profit-seeking capital for vital social services, as well as shown the administration's intent to stop taking responsibility for these, said IBON.
The budget for state universities and colleges was cut by P367.2 million to Php22 billion in 2011 from Php22.4 billion in 2010. The Department of Education's (DepED) school-building program was meanwhile halved from Php2 billion in 2010 to Php1 billion in 2011. The administration said that it would build 13,147 new classrooms this year — yet the backlog of public school classrooms is some 113,000.
The administration may boast of some Php5.7 billion in Government Assistance to Students and Teachers in Private Education (GASTPE) scholarships but in seeking to transfer public school students to private schools, these are billions of pesos down the road of education privatization and diminishing the public school system, said IBON. The government is in effect using private school scholarships as an excuse to not build public school classrooms or hire public school teachers, Ibon concluded.
Likewise, IBON said the Aquino administration may boast of additional billions of pesos for PhilHealth and supposed universal health care. Yet much of these funds will eventually be going to private hospitals even as the Aquino government cut the budget for 67 public hospitals nationwide used mainly by the poor by Php368 million, for five specialty hospitals by Php970.6 million, and for subsidies to indigent patients by Php20 million.
Public-private partnership. In his first SONA, Pres. Aquino boasted to have found the magic bullet to the country's fiscal, infrastructure, jobs and food security problems: "Ito ang magiging solusyon: mga Public-Private Partnerships (Our solution: public-private partnerships)." He also declared: "Makukuha natin ang kailangan natin, hindi tatayo gagastos, kikita pa tayo..
lalago ang ating ekonomiya, at bawat Pilipino makikinabang. (We will meet our needs without spending, and we will also earn.. our economy will grow and will benefit every Filipino)."
A year later, not one of the administration's 10 flagship PPPs has taken off and only one (Daang Hari-SLEX road) is even at the start of the bidding stage upon the apparent cancellation of the MRT/LRT bidding process. According to IBON, not only is it unclear how the 10 targeted capital-intensive and centralized PPPs for 2010 roll-out can conceivably "benefit every Filipino", the administration does not even appear able to get these rolling.
The administration meanwhile drastically cut the budget for economic services. Among others this included slashing the budget of the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) from Php20.8 billion in 2010 to Php16.4 billion in 2011 and of the Department of Agriculture (DA) from Php39.2 billion (2010) to Php34.8 billion (2011). There is little evidence that the private sector has filled in for the vacuum in critical rural and food chain infrastructure left by the Aquino administration, IBON noted.
Pres. Aquino then ends his first year in office with a long list of unfulfilled promises and poor foundations for progress in the country, concluded IBON. The research group reiterates that the "public expects to hear an acknowlegment of these weaknesses in his SONA tomorrow, as well as a list of concrete steps, and not just intangible promises, to address these problems."

Hundreds of people thronged on Market Street, between Third and Fourth Streets early this afternoon, as one man died of a heart attack while sitting in his automobile along the curb and another man suffered an attack directly across the street and fell to the pavement suffering a deep gash across the left temple. Both occurred within 20 minutes. Follmer Artley, aged about 34 years, a well known farmer of Liberty RD1 was the victim of the heart attack. Witnesses said he drove up to the curb about 12:15 o'clock and began gasping for breath. One passerby ran to notify Officer Harry Weisenberger who was nearby, but by the time the policeman reached the scene Artley was dead. His hand was still clutched on the steering wheel of his car. Weisenberger immediately notified Dr. Robert C. Bastian, county coroner who arrived on the scene shortly thereafter. He stated that the man apparently died of an acute heart attack. Several cousins who live in this city arrived before the body was taken to Page's Undertaking Parlors, and confirmed the identity of the deceased. They said that he had been under the care of a physician recently. While Artley's body was being placed in the Page funeral car, persons began shouting from across the street that another man had collapsed. The hundreds of persons who were jammed in the vicinity of Artley's car surged across the street. Somewhere in the crowd were several policemen and Dr. Bastian, who had to push their way rather forcibly before they could reach the side of the second stricken man. They found Edward MAAHS, of 1140 Meade Street, lying on the pavement bleeding profusely from a gash across the temple. He was helped to his feet and taken in the police ambulance to the emergency room at the Williamsport Hospital where it was found that his injury was not serious. He said he fell to the ground when he suddenly felt weak and that the wound on his head was caused as he struck the pavement. He was removed to his home from the hospital in the police ambulance.

NY Supreme Court, Appellate Division
PEOPLE v. SMITH
Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, New York.
PEOPLE of the State of New York, Plaintiff-Respondent, v. Christopher P. SMITH, Defendant-Appellant.
Decided: September 29, 2000
PRESENT: PIGOTT, JR., P.J., PINE, WISNER, KEHOE and BALIO, JJ. Philip Rothschild, Amherst, for defendant-appellant. James P. Maxwell, Syracuse, for plaintiff-respondent.
On appeal from a judgment convicting him upon his plea of guilty of attempted robbery in the first degree (Penal Law §§ 110.00, 160.15[1] ), defendant contends that Supreme Court should have suppressed his written statements on the ground that those statements, although preceded by Miranda warnings, were obtained by exploitation of defendant's earlier oral statement, which the court suppressed on Miranda grounds.
The initial statement was obtained on the street at the time of arrest. Police thereafter informed defendant of his Miranda rights and, after defendant waived those rights, elicited his written confession at the police station beginning about 30 minutes after the arrest. The differences in time (see, People v. Dunkley, 200 A.D.2d 499, 500, 606 N.Y.S.2d 638, lv. denied 83 N.Y.2d 871, 613 N.Y.S.2d 132, 635 N.E.2d 301; People v. Hawthorne, 160 A.D.2d 727, 728-729, 553 N.Y.S.2d 799) and place (see, People v. Stackhouse, 160 A.D.2d 822, 823-824, 553 N.Y.S.2d 854, lv. denied 76 N.Y.2d 865, 560 N.Y.S.2d 1005, 561 N.E.2d 905; People v. Jacobs, 136 A.D.2d 796, 797, 523 N.Y.S.2d 256) constitute such a "definite, pronounced break in the interrogation that the defendant may be said to have returned, in effect, to the status of one who is not under the influence of questioning" (People v. Chapple, 38 N.Y.2d 112, 115, 378 N.Y.S.2d 682, 341 N.E.2d 243; cf., People v. English, 73 N.Y.2d 20, 24, 537 N.Y.S.2d 987, 534 N.E.2d 1195; People v. Bethea, 67 N.Y.2d 364, 367-368, 502 N.Y.S.2d 713, 493 N.E.2d 937). Moreover, the initial violation of defendant's rights consisted of a single question and answer without benefit of Miranda warnings (see, People v. Bolus, 185 A.D.2d 1007, 587 N.Y.S.2d 446, lv. denied 81 N.Y.2d 785, 594 N.Y.S.2d 731, 610 N.E.2d 404; People v. Holmes, 145 A.D.2d 908, 908-909, 536 N.Y.S.2d 289, lv. denied 74 N.Y.2d 897, 548 N.Y.S.2d 430, 547 N.E.2d 957) in which defendant denied guilt. Thus, that earlier "unwarned statement cannot be said to have committed him to later confessing the crime" (People v. Holmes, supra, at 909, 536 N.Y.S.2d 289; see, People v. Walker, 267 A.D.2d 778, 780, 701 N.Y.S.2d 166, lv. denied 94 N.Y.2d 926, 708 N.Y.S.2d 366, 729 N.E.2d 1165; People v. McGriff, 149 A.D.2d 952, 540 N.Y.S.2d 85, lv. denied 74 N.Y.2d 814, 546 N.Y.S.2d 572, 545 N.E.2d 886). Under the circumstances, the court properly determined that the taint of the initial illegality was dissipated and that the subsequent administration of Miranda warnings was sufficient to protect defendant's rights.
Judgment unanimously affirmed.

Aboriginal Voices Radio Network
On July 2, the CRTC approved the application by Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc. for a new native Type B FM radio station in Montréal that would feature programming in English, French and Aboriginal languages. The use of frequency 100.1 MHz was denied though and AVR was directed to submit, within six months, an amendment to the proposed technical parameters predicated on the use of another frequency. AVR was a not-for-profit corporation incorporated under federal jurisdiction on July 17, 2001. It had a licensee for a native FM station in Toronto. Applications by AVR for stations in Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Calgary, and Vancouver had also been approved by this time. AVR was also the licensee of Aboriginal Voices Radio Network (AVRN), which would distribute the programming of the Toronto station to other AVR stations.
On March 18, Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc. received an extension to July 2, 2004, of the time limit to submit an application predicated on the use of a frequency other than 100.1 MHz for the operation of its new Montreal station. A further extension was granted on August 19. AVR now had until October 2, 2004 to seek an alternate frequency for Montreal.
AVR received another time extension on January 26 for use of an alternate FM channel at Montreal. This third grant gave them until April 2, 2005. A further extension was granted on May 24 - to July 2, 2005. On July 8, AVR received a further extension - to January 2, 2006. At this time, the CRTC put AVR on notice that, if it were to file another application requesting an extension of the time limit to commence operation of this proposed station, it must also submit a detailed report providing information on its progress with respect to the implementation of the new station and on the development of programming to be broadcast on the station. Any such report should clearly illustrate that the implementation of the station will be imminent. The Commission also put AVR on notice that failure to commence operation of the station within a reasonable period of time would cause the authority granted to become null and void.
On March 27, the CRTC approved in part an application by Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc. for an extension of the time limits imposed on it with respect to the native Type B FM radio stations authorized to serve Vancouver with a transmitter in Abbotsford, Calgary, Ottawa/Gatineau and Montréal, respectively. AVR had requested an extension to September 1 for each station. Subsequent to filing the present application, AVR filed another application for the use of a frequency other than 100.1 MHz for the radio station authorized to serve Montréal. Accordingly, the Commission found that there was no need to extend the deadline for AVR to file an application in this regard. On June 9, Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc. received approval to use frequency 106.7 MHz in Montreal. Average effective radiated power would be 320 watts. AVR's original application had called for use of 100.1 MHz with an ERP of 1,000 watts. CKAV-FM-10 Montreal began broadcasting on September 30th. It was operating at low power until a new tower was erected on top of the former Montreal Stock Exchange building in downtown Montreal. Authorized directional power when fully operational would be 1,200 watts.
On April 3 the CRTC revoked the licence of CKAV-FM-10 Montreal at the request of Aboriginal Voices Radio Inc.
