Posted on: 06/Sep/2009 - The New Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece, is the perfect place to showcase the Parthenon Marbles held by Britain, museum officials said at Saturday's opening. Designed by New York architect Bernard Tschumi, the $200 million museum replaces the old Acropolis Museum, a small 1874 structure built into the rock of the Acropolis, The New York Times reported Saturday.
The new museum, intended as the "ultimate showcase of classical civilization," will be complete when Britain surrenders the Parthenon Marbles, sections of a decorative frieze that have been on display in the British Museum since 1816, said Antonis Samaras, Greece's culture minister.
Britain long has maintained it is in a better position to look after the 2,500-year-old panels and has offered to loan the marble pieces to Greece but not return them permanently.
The New Acropolis Museum opened in a brilliant and impressive ceremony on Saturday, June 20th, in the evening with the presence of many famous personalities from around the world. Prime ministers and presidents of various countries, members of the Greek and the European Parliament, eminent political and religious personalities and hundreds of journalists attended the inauguration of the museum and were the first to see its spacious rooms with the precious exhibits, all found in the excavation site of the Acropolis.
The comments of the international press about the museum were excellent, while many mentioned that this museum brings once again on the surface the long request of Greece to the British Museum to return the Parthenon Marbles. These marbles, also known as the Elgin Marbles, are actually part of the temple's frieze. In the early 19th century, Lord Elgin asked the then Turkish rulers of Greece to take some parts of the Parthenon's frieze back home to Great Britain. So, not only did Lord Elgin deprive the Parthenon Temple from its frieze, but he also ordered to cut some pieces in half in order to get them on board. When he arrived in his country, he sold these pieces to the British Museum where they are still hosted.
It was first in the 1970s that Greece asked these marbles back, but the British Museum wouldn't accept this requent on the pretext that there was no place in Greece to host these marbles in protection. That is why with the construction of the New Acropolis Museum, the Greek President Karolos Papoulias renewed Saturday evening the country's requent to return the marbles, as it is "time to heal the wounds" of the ancient temple, like he said. However, the British Museum is still not willing to return the frieze (it holds 75m of the original 160m of the frieze) and says that a loan would be possible, but onlt if Greece acknowledges British ownership on the marbles, which is not at all acceptable by the Greek state.
The New Acropolis Museum, which is found right opposite the Acropolis, on the pedestrian street of Dionisiou Areopagitou, will be open every day, except for Monday, from 8.00 a.m. to 8.00 p.m. Till the end of 2009, the ticket will be 1 euro and 5 euros thereafter.

The curriculum for Mathematics is based on the following view of the nature of the discipline.
Mathematics enables creative and logical reasoning about problems in the physical and social world and in the context of Mathematics itself. It is a distinctly human activity practiced by all cultures.
Knowledge in the mathematical sciences is constructed through the establishment of descriptive, numerical and symbolic relationships. Mathematics is based on observing patterns; with rigorous logical thinking, this leads to theories of abstract relations. Mathematical problem solving enables us to understand the world and make use of that understanding in our daily lives.
Mathematics is developed and contested over time through both language and symbols by social interaction and is thus open to change.

Essential oils in their purest form smell divine, however are you fully aware of just how powerful these natural essences can be to supporting your physical, emotional and spiritual wellness?
Pure essential oils are extracted in a way that maintains the integrity of the life force of the plant. It is this essence that supports our own life force. Each plant has its own unique frequency that keeps it in harmony with all of nature. When we eat plants and herbs or inhale, absorb, ingest an essential oil we take on their energy (vibration) and in turn, it affects our own vibratory level.
I have always loved essential oils however it's really in the last 10 years that I have experienced oils at a deeper level. Here are just a few of the ways I use them every day – and of course, when you do incorporate essential oils into your life you can't help but create a toxin free home environment.
Aromatically – I diffuse and mist them in my home and office to create an environment that supports my intentions. Essential oils may be used on their own or in combination with other oils to create calm and balance, inspire positive emotions, spark creativity, energise, promote relaxation and restful sleep.
Topically – I use them direct onto the skin as well as diluting them in carrier oils like fractionated coconut or jojoba oils for massaging onto the skin.
Ingesting – I use lemon essential oil in my morning water to create a cleansing morning elixir. There are many oils that can be used in cooking and oils that can be taken directly to boost the immune system.
Cleaning – I use them to freshen clothes in the washing machine and as natural cleaning products.
I use essential oils in place of pharmaceuticals for colds, viruses, headaches, hormonal imbalances, nausea and digestive issues and skin conditions. There are also safe oils that promote wellness for our pets.
In my experience incorporating essential oils into daily life just makes life better. They work to boost the immune system, they support us emotionally, they integrate perfectly into self care and mindfulness rituals and they naturally create a positive energy vibe.
I use and recommend doTERRA oils for their purity and efficacy. I would love the opportunity to help you choose the combination of essential oils that are best suited to you and your family. Please contact me directly via the contact page and/or take a look at some of the options available below to commence your journey with essential oils.

Thomas Tyrwhitt (; 27 March 173015 August 1786) was an English classical scholar and critic.

Life
He was born in London, where he also died. He was educated at Eton College and Queen's College, Oxford. He was elected a fellow of Merton College, Oxford in 1755. In 1756 he was appointed under-secretary at war, in 1762 clerk of the House of Commons. In 1768 he resigned his post, and spent the remainder of his life in learned retirement. In February 1771 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1784 he was elected a trustee of the British Museum, to which he bequeathed a portion of his valuable library.

Works
His principal classical works are:
Fragmenta Plutarchi II. inedita (1773), from a Harleian manuscript
Dissertatio de Babrio (1776), containing some fables of Aesop, hitherto unedited, from a Bodleian manuscript
the pseudo-Orphic De lapidibus (1781), which he assigned to the age of Constantius
Conjecturae in Strabonem (1783)
Isaeus De Meneclis hereditate (1785)
Aristotle's Poetica, his most important work, published after his death under the superintendence of Thomas Burgess, bishop of Salisbury, in 1794.

Special mention is due of his editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1775–1778); and of Poems, supposed to have been written at Bristol by "Thomas Rowley" and others in the 15th century (1777–1778), with an appendix to prove that the poems were all the work of Thomas Chatterton. Tyrwhitt's bibliophile friend Thomas Crofts is credited with introducing Tyrwhitt in 1776 to George Catcott, the owner of the "manuscripts" of the poems. Initially Tyrwhitt was convinced that they were authentic, and pressed for publication in 1777. It was only when the third edition was published that Tyrwhitt changed his mind and pronounced the poems forgeries.

In 1782 he published a Vindication of the Appendix in reply to the arguments that they were authentic. While clerk of the House of Commons he edited Proceedings and Debates of the House of Commons, 1620–1621 from the original manuscript in the library of Queen's College, Oxford, and Henry Elsynge's The Manner of Holding Parliaments in England (1768).

Q: Hibernate mapping and sql script issue I have two classes. I don't understand. How can to map 'fromUser' and 'toUser' on 'User' class?
What should I add to SQL?
Please advise me a book about Hibernate and SQL.
CREATE TABLE message
            (
                id LONG NOT NULL,
                fromUser LONG NOT NULL,
                toUser LONG NOT NULL,
                primary key (id)
            );

 CREATE TABLE user
            (
            id LONG NOT NULL,
            primary key (id)
            );
@Entity

    public class Message {

        @GeneratedValue(strategy = AUTO)
        @Id
        private Long id;

        private User fromUser;

        private User toUser;
    }

    @Entity
    @Access(FIELD)
    public class User {
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = AUTO)
        @Id
        private Long id;
    }

A: You have to add relation mappigs like @OneToOne, @ManyToOne, @ManyToMany. That depends on your db relationship between.
As you want to have User FK in your Message entity, you Message mapping should be like this:
@Entity
    @Access(FIELD)
    public class Message {

        @GeneratedValue(strategy = AUTO)
        @Id
        private Long id;

        @ManyToOne
        private User fromUser;
        @ManyToOne
        private User toUser;
    }

as for SQL you should add FK constraints to the User entiy.
Before you will read about "Hibernate and SQL" start with only relational SQL engines, as you don't have basic knowlage about relations I suppose (no hard feelings please).

Aubrey Lee Price, Ga. bank director, disappears amid $40 million fraud case
By Casey Glynn
July 9, 2012 / 5:07 PM / CBS News
Aubrey Lee Price Lowndes County Sheriff's Office
(CBS) Authorities are investigating the disappearance of a South Georgia banker who is accused in a $40 million fraud case.
Aubrey Lee Price, 46, disappeared on June 16 after telling acquaintances that he had lost a large amount of money and that he planned to kill himself, according to a complaint charging him with wire fraud involving the embezzlement of $17 million from a Georgia bank.
Price was a director at Montgomery Bank & Trust, which was shut down on Friday. He controlled its investments before disappearing last month, the complaint states. Price allegedly told the bank's management that he would invest the bank's capital in treasury securities, but instead wired the funds to accounts that he personally controlled at other financial institutions. According to the complaint, he then provided bank management with altered documents to make it appear as if he had invested the bank's money in treasury securities.
CBS affiliate WCTV reports that according to Sergeant Aaron Pritchett of the Lowndes County Sheriff's Department, Price's wife and other family members received letters from Price on June 18 saying he was traveling to Key West, Florida. Soon after, said Pritchett, the family filed a missing person report.
In addition to wire fraud, the Securities and Exchange Commission alleges Price hid losses between $20 million and $23 million from clients over the past two years. According to the SEC, Price admitted in a letter that he "falsified statements with false returns" in order to conceal the investor losses. The SEC says Price raised money from more than 100 investors in Georgia and Florida.
"Price raised nearly $40 million from investors and made woeful financial transactions that he hid from them," said William P. Hicks, Associate Director of the SEC's Atlanta Regional Office. "Now both the money and Price are missing."
CBS affiliate WTOC reports that although authorities say they at first thought Price was suicidal, information now suggests he may have left the country. The FBI reportedly believes Price may be hiding in Venezuela.
According to the FBI, Price was last seen in Florida on a ferry leaving Key West for Fort Myers.
According to the wire fraud complaint, Price has told acquaintances that he owns real estate in Venezuela and Guatemala. Price recently traveled to Venezuela and returned to the United States from that trip on June 2, 2012.

Andrei Gruzsniczki • Director of Zavera
"In a way, all of my films are about trust"
by Ola Salwa
29/11/2019 - Cineuropa met up with Romanian director Andrei Gruzsniczki to discuss his third film, Zavera, which has world-premiered in the International Competition at the 41st Cairo Film Festival
Zavera [+see also:
interview: Andrei Gruzsniczki
film profile], which has had its world premiere in the International Competition of the 41st Cairo International Film Festival, is what you might call a typical Romanian family/psychological drama. It revolves around Stefan, who witnesses his best friend and business partner Nick's sudden death during a cycling trip. Soon, he discovers that Nick was not as good a manager or husband as he claimed to be. All of this makes Stefan question the intentions of other people he thinks he knows as well. We spoke to the movie's director, Andrei Gruzsniczki.
(The article continues below - Commercial information)
Cineuropa: You made your previous film, Quod erat demonstrandum [+see also:
film profile], six years ago. Why did Zavera take so long to make? It's a relatively small-scale film, with one leading character.
Andrei Gruzsniczki: The original story I came up with had eight leading characters and unfolded over the course of one day. It was also situated in a huge villa, with servants and everything. It had unity of time, action and place.
Like a Greek tragedy?
Or like Festen by Thomas Vinterberg. I could not raise money for that project, so I focused on one character and his dead best friend instead. I stuck to the number eight, though: I show eight days of Stefan's life after Nick's death, in separate parts. The opening sequence with the two friends riding bikes is just a preamble. Stefan has to find a way to cope with his friend's passing and clean up the mess he left behind at their company, and then start a new life. In the end, it turns out that it will still be his old life, just a bit different. Stefan is 50, which, according to Carl Gustav Jung, is when a man's life reaches its climax, and it only goes downhill from there. So he has to make a choice about what to do next.
After he finds out about Nick's secret life, he loses faith in him, and also wonders if he can trust his own family and friends. Is this theme important for you?
In a way, all of my films are about trust: my first one, The Other Irina, was about the trust between a man and a woman, and the second one was about trust during the communist era. In Zavera, this concept is more about finding the ultimate truth, which can't be discovered, because no such thing exists.
Stefan has a lot on his plate.
He is torn between helping his kids grow up and supporting his mother, who is getting older. As he has some inner problems as well, it is doubly difficult. The first five days after Nick's death represent the five stages of grief. We show those differences in the colours and the costumes, and in every part, there is a scene that lays bare Stefan's state of mind: when he is trying to negotiate or trying to be tough like Nick, and he fails. What I wanted people to understand is that, in a way, Stefan is trying to change into a better version of himself.
That's a difficult process.
First of all, he reacts in a very low-key, quiet way. This is the Romanian way of coping with emotions: we are not loud, and we keep our feelings buried inside. People in the West try to bottle up and then express their feelings, whereas we are a bit different. But this is not the case in all circumstances. I did a shoot with a Romanian team for an American production, and our crew members kept shouting to each other. The Americans asked why we were so angry at each other, and we weren't – it's just the way we talk. But I didn't want to show this side. Stefan is also trying to be proper and correct – for example, he sorts his rubbish, which, as we see, all goes in the same container in the end.
It's quite a challenge for a director to present a character that quietly goes through something big.
I use black humour, which works well in Romania, at least. I keep Stefan in permanent conflict with others, and the tension comes from keeping the audience connected to him. There are some repetitive, slow scenes, like the one where he is waiting for coffee, which allows the audience to ponder their own lives.
It makes sense now why the gun, contrary to what Chekhov would have wanted, doesn't go off in the end.
There is more than one explanation for that. At the beginning, I wrote a scene with Stefan leaving his gun behind him, at which point it would have fallen and gone off. No one would have got hurt, but a window would have smashed. But during filming, I changed that scene, also because of financial reasons – hiring a pyrotechnician costs money. Additionally, I thought that the scene worked better when the gun was being held by both Stefan's wife and Nick's wife. I think that those audience members who saw another Romanian film, Aurora [+see also:
interview: Clara Voda
film profile] by Cristi Puiu, about a guy who has a gun and kills his family, will feel a sense of relief that no shooting actually takes place here. The audience feels the tension, waits for the weapon to fire, and in the end nothing happens.
What are you up to now that Zavera has premiered?
I am editing my fourth film, Beyond Dust. I'm planning to finish the edit in December and have the film ready in January. It's set in rural Romania, and the main characters are two eighty-something men. In a way, it's a story about trust, just like all of my previous films.

Anything She Hasn't Done?
Arianna Velasquez
Senior Sana Shah: In her years at Cal Lutheran, Shah has founded the Muslim Students Alliance club, researched pesticide exposure and taken part in many campus organizations.
Arianna Velasquez, Reporter
Sana Shah, a senior at California Lutheran University, is the fourth person in her family to join Cal Lutheran's community.
Shah is a chemistry major with a mathematics minor. She chose this combination because she said that mathematics and chemistry go hand-in-hand.
Her brother Raheel Shah graduated Cal Lutheran with a bachelor's in Sociology in 2017, and her younger brother Amir Shah is a sophomore at Cal Lutheran majoring in computer science. Additionally her mother Nighat Shah currently works at Cal Lutheran as an assistant for global engagement.
"I chose this school as the one I belong to," Shah said. "It's like a home away from home kind of thing."
Although she is a commuter, Shah has still found ways to stay involved on campus.
"Commuters really do have involvement on campus …commuters are able to really have their impact on the school," Shah said.
Shah is the vice president of the American Chemical Society chemistry club, an Alumni and Family Relations student worker, a Campus Ministry student representative, a student ambassador, an international peer mentor and the president of the Muslim Students Alliance club.
"She is very hard working. She juggles between her studies, her job, her club as well as she is a Sunday school teacher in one of the Islamic centers," Nighat Shah said.
When Shah started at Cal Lutheran she decided to personally start up MSA club.
"She is always looking for opportunities to kind of, learn and perform her leadership and I definitely I see her growing from the first time we said 'Sana you can start your club if you are so passionate about it," Nighat Shah said.
Cal Lutheran is a faith-affiliated school. Shah said she felt welcomed and supported here, and she wanted other Muslim's like her to feel the same way.
"The purpose of it is to bring students of all identities together, non-Muslims as well as Muslims on our campus, and promote like, a safe environment for everyone to talk about Islamic culture and faith," Shah said.
When Shah started the club she said she knew it had the ability to grow. Shah said Cal Lutheran is a pluralistic society, meaning that people are open and want to get to know one another.
Being involved on campus has given Shah the ability to meet other students who want to learn about Islamic faith and customs she said.
She has been the president of the MSA club all four years of its existence. In those years, MSA has grown and connected with other faith and culture organizations on campus through interfaith events.
Through her major, Shah had the ability to perform research over summer with chemistry professor Grady Hanrahan.
Hanrahan is Shah's faculty mentor for the Ronald E. McNair Post baccalaureate Achievement Program.
This research allowed Shah to continue pursuing her passion for chemistry and her genuine concern for the health and well-being of populations that may be affected by pesticide exposure, Hanrahan said in an email interview.
"Sana has opened my eyes to new areas of research and exploration in the chemistry field. There is something infectious and observable about someone who displays noticeable desire for their work and concern for residents in the community," Hanrahan said in an email interview.
After finishing her degree in chemistry at Cal Lutheran Shah hopes to pursue a master's degree.

A neighborhood embroidery workshop may not be the first idea that comes to mind when brainstorming your next art venture, unless you are Atlanta-based stitch guru, "manbroiderer" extraordinaire and, most recently, community-based art adventurer Aubrey Longley-Cook.
His exhibition "Serving Face" — drag lingo for striking one's best diva pose — is a delight, presenting community efforts of art-making (a tough category, let's face it) at its absolute best. Mounted by Barbara Archer Gallery at the Erikson Clock Building, it closes January 18.
Presenting the work of the 35 attendees of Longley-Cook's group project, "RuPaul Cross-Stitch Animation Workshop," along with several of the artist's own pieces, the show paid colorfully stitched homage to some of Atlanta's most talented queens. Subverting predictable assumptions of gender and the traditionally feminine medium, the project created a fresh platform for queer art.
"Ru is more than a muse. She's a role model and a mother in many ways for the drag community. She is deserving of a portrait of this scale," Longley-Cook told Huffington Post.
After a month of weekly workshops that included guest drag performances and the serving of homemade cupcakes, participants spent subsequent months in what some described as a seemingly endless but worthwhile needlework endeavor (each cross-stitch required a whopping 12,800 stitches).
The results are enchanting and varied in overall affect, depending on the color palette chosen by each artist. Channeling RuPaul's magnetic exuberance, compositions range from high-spirited to strangely horrific, at times depicting her signature diva grin as humorously dark and disconcerting, an ostensible (albeit perhaps accidental) play on the occasional fearful perception of the masculine in makeup. Generally, those moments were few amid a largely celebratory depiction.
Equally fantastic are Longley-Cook's inclusion of the backs of the cross-stitched pieces, made visible in the culminating animation project that portrays the 35 cross-stitched RuPaul portraits in stop-motion video. The backs function as the painterly inversion of the images, and offer a glimpse into the painstaking process.
Longley-Cook's own stitches spotlighted a handful of Atlanta's most popular queens, all of whom performed on opening night: Lavonia Elberton, Cayenne Rouge, Xee Xee Bow Dong, Brigitte Bidet and Ella/saurus/Rex.
Longley-Cook's gorgeous, nine-frame, cross-stitched series and animation of drag performer Lavonia Elberton "serving face" is a quirky, outrageous, labor-intensive tribute to the performer, but the medium is, in fact, the message in this delicately sewn portrait of idiosyncratically eye-shadowed and mustached queen.
A 21st-century channeling of Andy Warhol's original visual discourse on popular American culture, Longley-Cook's show places drag in the lineage of pop iconography with fresh, thoughtful perspective. A portion of this exhibition will travel to New York to be part of the group show "Queer Threads: Crafting Identity and Community" at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art (January 17–March 16).
Other participating artists in the RuPaul Cross-Stitch Animation Workshop include Ashley Anderson, Paul Bazen, Kimberly Binns, Jess Bernhart, Katherine Bernhart, Rachel Burnstein, Clay Butterworth, Shay Buckley, Kaitlin Commiskey, Olisa Corcoran, Lauren Cunningham, Jared Dawson, Kate Doubler, Sarah Durning, Jane Garver, Maggie Ginestra, Sally Hansell, Brooke Hatfield, Tricia Hersey-Patrick, Andre Keichian, Taryn Kelly, Christina León, Adrienne Lowe, Romy Aura Maloon, Lauren McDonald, Amy Salley, Steve Sauer, Chris Seely, Nathan Sharratt, Nathaniel Smith, Christa Tinsley Spaht, Hester Starnes, Mike Stasny, Drew Watts and Elizabeth Yates.

Der Rasseschlüssel dient der Katalogisierung der Rinderrassen. Er besteht aus einer bis zu dreistelligen Ziffer. Außerdem gibt es eine Kurzbezeichnung aus zwei oder drei Buchstaben, die im Bestandsregister eingetragen wurde.

Seit 2002 ist in Deutschland der Eintrag des Rasseschlüssels in den Rinderpass gesetzlich vorgeschrieben. Nach der deutschen Viehverkehrsverordnung ist zusätzlich zu den Daten, die nach dem Recht der EU zu erfassen sind, der Rasseschlüssel vom Halter unverzüglich nach der Kennzeichnung, also üblicherweise nach der Anbringung der Ohrmarke der zuständigen Behörde oder ihrer beauftragten Stelle anzuzeigen und in sein  Bestandsregister einzutragen. Dies soll die Nachvollziehbarkeit der Herkunft eines Rindes sicherstellen, was besonders in Hinblick auf die Bekämpfung von BSE von Bedeutung ist.  Die Rasseschlüssel sind in Anlage 6 zur Viehverkehrsverordnung katalogisiert, die seit Bekanntmachung vom 3. März 2010 ergänzt und in ihren Bezeichnungen teils aktualisiert wurde:

Zudem sind inzwischen (Stand 28. Mai 2020) gelistet die Rassen:
Evolener (100), British Longhorn (101), Texas Longhorn (102) Murray Grey (103), Whitbred Shorthorn (104), Murbodener (105), Ennstaler Bergschecken (106), Eringer (107), Parthenaise (108) und die Kreuzungen eines Zweinutzungsrindes mit einem Fleischrind (109), einem Milchrind (110) und den Abkömmling zweier Zweinutzungsrinder (111).

Q: Authorizing websocket via token: connection vs channel A common way to handle authentication/authorization of websocket connections is to use cookie sent on initial http upgrade request. This is shown here http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/action_cable_overview.html
But what if I don't want to use cookie, but rather a token? Couple of hacks discussed here Send auth_token for authentication to ActionCable but it's too hacky imo.
What if I move the token authorization logic to channel:
module ApplicationCable
  class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
    identified_by :connection_id

    def connect
      self.connection_id = SecureRandom.hex # accept anyone, identify by random string
    end
  end
end

This will accept any connection. And than:
class TestChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
  def subscribed
    if authorize(params[:token]) # check the token here
      stream_from "test:1"
    else
      connection.close # alternatively `reject_subscription` to keep ws connection open
    end
  end

  def unsubscribed
    stop_all_streams
  end
end

Frontend subscription will look like this
App.test = App.cable.subscriptions.create(channel: "TestChannel", token: "hello-world")

This seems to work. The individual connection is identified by a random string and each channel subscription holds this unique connection. When broadcast to this channel is made it will push the data to all subscribers through their unique connections. So if we rejected a subscriber here it won't receive anything. But we cannot close unauthorized connections before subscription attempt. I can just open the connection to /cable and hold it as long as I want.
But is this safe? The obvious problem here is that anybody can open as many ws connection as he like. Is this the only problem with such approach?

Supporting authors and readers at festivals
March 8, 2019 | Uncategorized
Audiences at the recent Perth and Adelaide Writers' Weeks heard from an incredible array of speakers, including several sessions supported by the Copyright Agency's Cultural Fund.
In Perth in late February, the sponsored panels were: Other Lives, Other Bodies – chaired by Copyright Agency CEO Adam Suckling – Sydneysiders and Aesthetics, Arguments & Anthills.
The Cultural Fund also once again sponsored the Dorothy Hewett Award for an unpublished manuscript, which was awarded to Tasmanian author and poet Angela Rockel for her manuscript Rogue Intensities: a politics of the imagination. Rogue Intensities is the first manuscript from Tasmania to win the $10,000 prize, following on from the novels Extinctions by Josephine WiIson and Drawing Sybylla by Odette Kelada, and the poetry collection Legacy by Julie Watts. Rogue Intensities will be published in October 2019.
In Adelaide, on 5 March, the funded panels were Writers on Writers, WTF Australia? – chaired by Adam Suckling – and Journeys and Place.
'WTF Australia? How Australia's politics let us down' was one of the most well-attended sessions in Adelaide.
It featured three political heavyweights, award-winning author and former News Ltd journalist George Megalogenis whose most recent book is The Football Solution: How Richmond's Premiership Can Save Australia (Viking); Crikey's Bernard Keane – author of The Mess We're In: how our politics went to hell and dragged us with it (Allen and Unwin) and The Guardian Australia's political editor, Katharine Murphy, author of On Disruption (MUP).
In a very wide-ranging discussion, and with the Federal election in their sights, the panel explored Australia's current addiction to changing political leaders despite relatively consistent economic indicators such as wage growth, low unemployment and low inflation.
The panellists also discussed the disruption of the media globally and whether that had contributed to the rise of Donald Trump, and whether or not Australia was in better shape than the UK or the USA.
Podcasts of certain sessions in Adelaide can be heard here.

Ask Ohio State students what a Buckeye is and many will probably give you the same answer: A tough nut that's hard to crack. Brother Brandon Weissman certainly fits the bill as a stubborn and persistent student who is dedicated to ideals and won't quit until they are achieved.
The final vote was 21-9 against the resolution with 15 abstentions.
Weissman's role at OSU goes beyond just his elected position. He's the alumni chair at Eta Chapter and this year co-captained the AEPi Buckeython team. Buckeython is one of the nation's largest student-run philanthropies, raising money for children with cancer. This year, the AEPi team raised more than $12,500 – the most of any of Ohio State's 36 fraternities.
We're proud of you, too, Brandon!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not been able to establish the run game without Doug Martin, and yesterday was no different. Charles Sims was only able to record a meager 28 yards on 15 carries. The fact that Tampa is not able to get the run game established has taken an obvious toll on second-year quarterback, Jameis Winston. In week one, when Jameis had running back Doug Martin, he threw for four touchdowns and only one interception, since then, he's only thrown 4 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. In Sunday's game against the Broncos, the running game was non-existent for Tampa, and in turn, shown how it effects Jameis. Jameis had made some mistakes early in the game, throwing two Ints to former Buc, Aqib Talib, but the pressure continued to build, and Jameis was noticeably stressed, due to all the weight being put on his shoulders. The running game must be established, or kiss our season goodbye.
Our secondary is 'TURRIBLE'. All of them are to blame. Not just the safeties, not just the corners, and not just the defensive coaches. ALL OF THEM!
Tampa can still pull out a pretty solid season. At least, one that's better than last year. And with the NFC south in shambles right now, including the 3-1 Falcons. (Because they fall off as the season goes on) Tampa could still find themselves in a playoff race. I believe we still have a shot, even if we do lose 6 more games.

Little girl struck and killed by criminal on house arrest - Dickman Law Office P.S.C.
A wrongful death suit should be added to the charges piling up on a Louisville man who struck and killed a 7-year-old girl last month as she crossed the street after getting off a bus. The man was serving a home arrest sentence for weapons and burglary charges. While he is allowed to leave his home to go to school, he did not attend his evening college classes on the day of the fatal accident. In addition, the street on which he struck the little girl as she crossed the road is not on his way to or from school or his home.
The little girl's father is extremely angry that the man was not where he was supposed to be, and says he is convinced his daughter would be alive today if he had been. Police arrested the man for violating his home incarceration rules, he was held on a $5,000 bond and pleaded not guilty to escape and theft charges. Metro police were awaiting blood alcohol results from the driver that will perhaps incur additional charges.
Police say they were unable to account for the driver for two and a half hours prior to his arrest. They admit that tracking the more than 600 people serving home incarceration sentences in the Louisville area is difficult. The Metro Corrections department hopes to use GPS technology to monitor convicted criminals in the future.
The admission of the police department that they cannot supervise all of the people serving house arrest sentences brings up a good question about the possibility of holding the department somewhat accountable in this case.

Exclusive-Amazon considers more proactive approach to determining what belongs on its cloud service
Sheila Dang

(Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc plans to take a more proactive approach to determine what types of content violate its cloud service policies, such as rules against promoting violence, and enforce its removal, according to two sources, a move likely to renew debate about how much power tech companies should have to restrict free speech.
Over the coming months, Amazon will expand the Trust & Safety team at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) division and hire a small group of people to develop expertise and work with outside researchers to monitor for future threats, one of the sources familiar with the matter said.
It could turn Amazon, the leading cloud service provider worldwide with 40% market share according to research firm Gartner, into one of the world's most powerful arbiters of content allowed on the internet, experts say.
AWS does not plan to sift through the vast amounts of content that companies host on the cloud, but will aim to get ahead of future threats, such as emerging extremist groups whose content could make it onto the AWS cloud, the source added.
A day after publication of this story, an AWS spokesperson told Reuters that the news agency's reporting "is wrong," and added "AWS Trust & Safety has no plans to change its policies or processes, and the team has always existed."
A Reuters spokesperson said the news agency stands by its reporting.
Amazon made headlines in the Washington Post on Aug. 27 for shutting down a website hosted on AWS that featured propaganda from Islamic State that celebrated the suicide bombing that killed an estimated 170 Afghans and 13 U.S. troops in Kabul last Thursday. They did so after the news organization contacted Amazon, according to the Post.
The discussions of a more proactive approach to content come after Amazon kicked social media app Parler off its cloud service shortly after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot for permitting content promoting violence.
Amazon did not immediately comment ahead of the publication of the story on Thursday. After publication, an AWS spokesperson said later that day, "AWS Trust & Safety works to protect AWS customers, partners, and internet users from bad actors attempting to use our services for abusive or illegal purposes. When AWS Trust & Safety is made aware of abusive or illegal behavior on AWS services, they act quickly to investigate and engage with customers to take appropriate actions."
The spokesperson added that "AWS Trust & Safety does not pre-review content hosted by our customers. As AWS continues to expand, we expect this team to continue to grow."
Activists and human rights groups are increasingly holding not just websites and apps accountable for harmful content, but also the underlying tech infrastructure that enables those sites to operate, while political conservatives decry what they consider the curtailing of free speech.
AWS already prohibits its services from being used in a variety of ways, such as illegal or fraudulent activity, to incite or threaten violence or promote child sexual exploitation and abuse, according to its acceptable use policy.
Amazon investigates requests sent to the Trust & Safety team to verify their accuracy before contacting customers to remove content violating its policies or have a system to moderate content. If Amazon cannot reach an acceptable agreement with the customer, it may take down the website.
Amazon aims to develop an approach toward content issues that it and other cloud providers are more frequently confronting, such as determining when misinformation on a company's website reaches a scale that requires AWS action, the source said.
A job posting on Amazon's jobs website advertising for a position to be the "Global Head of Policy at AWS Trust & Safety," which was last seen by Reuters ahead of publication of this story on Thursday, was no longer available on the Amazon site on Friday.
The ad, which is still available on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/global-head-of-policy-aws-trust-safety-at-amazon-web-services-aws-2706375665, describes the new role as one who will "identify policy gaps and propose scalable solutions," "develop frameworks to assess risk and guide decision-making," and "develop efficient issue escalation mechanisms."
The LinkedIn ad also says the position will "make clear recommendations to AWS leadership."
The Amazon spokesperson said the job posting on Amazon's website was temporarily removed from the Amazon website for editing and should not have been posted in its draft form.
AWS's offerings include cloud storage and virtual servers and counts major companies like Netflix, Coca-Cola and Capital One as clients, according to its website.
PROACTIVE MOVES
Better preparation against certain types of content could help Amazon avoid legal and public relations risk.
"If (Amazon) can get some of this stuff off proactively before it's discovered and becomes a big news story, there's value in avoiding that reputational damage," said Melissa Ryan, founder of CARD Strategies, a consulting firm that helps organizations understand extremism and online toxicity threats.
Cloud services such as AWS and other entities like domain registrars are considered the "backbone of the internet," but have traditionally been politically neutral services, according to a 2019 report from Joan Donovan, a Harvard researcher who studies online extremism and disinformation campaigns.
But cloud services providers have removed content before, such as in the aftermath of the 2017 alt-right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, helping to slow the organizing ability of alt-right groups, Donovan wrote.
"Most of these companies have understandably not wanted to get into content and not wanting to be the arbiter of thought," Ryan said. "But when you're talking about hate and extremism, you have to take a stance."

Nestle unveils $100 million Colombia investment to grow capacity
BOGOTA (Reuters) -Global food giant Nestle is set to invest $100 million over the next three years in its Colombian operations, President Gustavo Petro said on Friday, part of his push to boost industrialization. The Colombian leader outlined the announcement in a post on Twitter late Friday. The new investment plan builds on $13 million already spent by the world's largest food and beverage producer in the South American country, the government said in a statement, with the new funds to be focused on increasing production capacity and updating technology.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — Low-cost fashion brand H&M said Friday that shutting down its business in Russia and Belarus had a significant negative impact on its results, while increases in the costs of raw materials and freight and a strong U.S. dollar made purchases more expensive.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -A potential U.S. recession and tough comparisons to a stellar 2022 are weighing on the prospects of energy stocks delivering an encore to last year's stunning run, despite valuations that are seen as still comparatively cheap. The S&P 500 energy sector is up 4.2% year-to-date, slightly lagging the rise for the broader index. The sector logged a 59% jump in 2022, an otherwise brutal year for stocks that saw the S&P 500 drop 19.4%.


Patrol is the largest section within the Field Services Division. Patrol is made up of four shifts that work rotating schedules. Each shift is commanded by a lieutenant, who is assisted by two sergeants. At full strength, there are 10 officers per shift. Officers are assigned based on experience and expertise in an attempt to provide a balance that is beneficial to the Department and the people we serve. If you have questions about the Patrol Section, contact the Police Department at (701) 223-1212.
Patrol is the only section of the Police Department that is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Officers assigned to patrol are primarily responsible for responding to the 38,000 or more calls for service last year.
The duties of a patrol officer are varied and can involve almost anything you can imagine. Patrol officers respond to major and minor crimes. Requests for service range from something as simple as giving directions to responding to assaults or major incidents that can result in serious injury and death. Officers are often exposed to considerable risk during their tour of duty, and the stress that results can cause health problems if not dealt with appropriately.
Patrol officers work a rotational schedule in which officers work 12-hour shifts that alternate between day and night shifts every two weeks. As the Department moves toward computer-aided dispatch and computerized record keeping, we will be able to better analyze calls for service, and that may result in some shift adjustment to accommodate citizen calls for service.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Were Just Spotted Holding Hands in Matching Red Ensembles
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may be winding down their time as senior working members of Britain's royal family—but they're sure going out with a sartorial bang.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived at the Mountbatten Festival of Music at the Royal Albert Hall in London on March 7 looking like a perfect matching set in bold red. The festival brings together world-class musicians, composers, and conductors to raise money for the Royal Marines Association.
Harry's military uniform made him look as princely as ever, and perfectly complimented his wife's red Safiyaa gown with a gorgeous cape detail. She accessorized with matching red heels, earrings, and a Manolo Blahnik clutch. If you're in the market, the $1700 dress is still available on the brand's website. Markle also wore another cape dress (in blue) by Safiyaa during her royal tour of Australia and New Zealand with Harry, just after announcing her pregnancy with baby Archie. It's easy to see why the brand has become one of her go-to's.
Check out how gorgeous she looks (Harry's not too shabby, either):
This is the second time we've seen Markle since the couple announced they were stepping down from their roles and moving (at least part-time) to Canada—and once again, she's opted for a bold, bright shade. For the Endeavor Fund Awards on March 5, the duchess wore a bright blue Victoria Beckham dress and navy heels.
We have to say, we're loving all this color—and the fact that the couple looks so happy and relaxed. With all the conversation and drama surrounding their new roles, it's great to see Markle's not shying away from making a bold statement with her outfits…and nobody's ever going to argue with seeing Harry in one of his uniforms.
We can't wait to see what Markle chooses to wear for the Commonwealth Day ceremonies on March 9, which will see the Sussexes publicly reunited with Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince Charles, Duchess Camilla, and, of course, Queen Elizabeth II.

South Burnett Mountain Bike Club- SBMTB
WILD WEST SUMMER SERIES
SBMTB BLOG
History of Mountain Biking in the South Burnett
This webpage is dedicated to all of those who have gone before us. We hope that we are doing you proud with what we are trying to achieve in the South Burnett. Many thanks to Wondai and Nanango Mountain Bikers for supplying the information and pictures.
W.O.M.B.A.T.S (2013-??)
The WOMBATS (Wondai Off-Road Mountain Bike All Terrain Society), was formed in 2013 by 3 aging mountain bike purists (Russ/Barry and Corky). They mainly rode on weekends when they were allowed out of the house. New members were welcome. However there is no information about member numbers as this remains a closely guarded secret. They met at the WOMBAT Shrine, that still exists today. This was near the 5 way intersection on the Wombat Way. They rode mainly in Wondai State Forestry on single track and old motor bike trails.
We believe that the trails in this area (now managed by the South Burnett Mountain Bike Club), date back to the early 2000's. Trails such as Old 55, Barcoo, Mother in Law still exists today. However many of the old trails have been reclaimed by the forestry. (See complete list below). We have counted up to 16 old trails in the forestry at Wondai. Eight of these are now lovingly cared for and maintained by our club.
What could possibly go wrong?
The old trails where hard on bikes.

Nanango Mountain Bike Club (1992-2004)
The Nanango Mountain Bike Club was formed on the 12 November 1992 and continued until 2004. During this time they had approximately 80 members, including racing and non racing. In 1996 they held the State Championship in Nanango at Seven Mile Diggings, with local riders doing very well in all categories (See the Newspaper articles below). This event attracted nearly 300 riders from all over South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
The club had weekly rides that were well attended, with between 15-40 riders coming to each ride. The club were spoilt for spots to ride with Nanango Forestry, Din Din Forestry and Seven Mile Diggings being popular spots to see riders out and about. Club riders would also travel frequently to ride with the Kingaroy road riding crew. Many of the club members would ride in coemptions all over Queensland including Bundaberg, Mackay and Mount Perry for the Mount Perry Cup held each year in June. The club even had riders that competed at a National level (see newspaper clippings below)
The club folded in 2004. However many of the old trails still exist if you know where to look.

Gujarat Zero Interest Loan Scheme
Post by: Bennisha in Government Initiatives State Governments
Home » Learn » Government Initiatives » Gujarat Zero Interest Loan Scheme
The Gujarat State Government has announced Gujarat Zero Interest Loan Scheme for farmers. The scheme launched in 2017, facilitates farmers to easily avail loan up to Rs. 3 lakhs. All eligible beneficiaries can get loans with zero interest rate. The article takes a closer look at the features of the Gujarat Zero Interest Loan Scheme.
Objective of the Scheme
The farmers of Gujarat has been protesting for their current situation for a very long time. To make the loans burden free, all the state governments along with the Central government is taking initiatives. The scheme is considered to be one of the many schemes for farmers in the State, that benefits the farmers. By implementing this scheme, farmers can avail crop loans without interest payment.
Scheme Overview
The State Government of Gujarat has announced a Zero Interest Loan Scheme up to 3 Lakh rupees for the farmers. The Central and State government together gives 7% interest to the farmers. This interest rate relief given to the farmers reduces their short-term production credit (crop loan) within one year of distribution of the loans. Moreover, to reduce the concerns of the marginal farmers, the government provides crop loans on 0% interest under the Chief Minister's scheme. The State Government has decided to provide a crop loan facility to the farmers of the state at 0% interest so that they can be granted loans to the banks.
Features of Gujarat Zero Interest Loan Scheme
The main highlights of the zero interest loan scheme are as follows.
The scheme intends to enhance the empowerment of farmers of the state.
The whole sets of benefits of the scheme are for the development and welfare of the farmers in the state.
Apart from this, necessary assistance is also provided for the farmers.
The farmers cannot stand the pressure of the interest rates of the scheme. Therefore, the GujaratZero Interest Loan scheme sees to that, there are no interest rates that are added to the loan amount.
The scheme offers a loan up to Rs. 3 lakhs without any interest rates.
Previously, the farmers have to pay only 1% of interest while the remaining 6% is shared equally between both the Central and State Government.
Now, the Government has decided to pay that 1% by launching this scheme.
Around 25 lakhs of farmers across the state would be the beneficiaries of the loan scheme.
Interest Subvention
The farmers were paying 7% interest loan in the state. Later, the Central Government stated that 3% of the loan would be paid by the Central Government and 3% will be paid by the State Government. The remaining 1% has to be paid by the farmers. The Chief Minister of the State has announced that the remaining 1% would be paid by the Gujarat State Government.
Interest Subvention Scheme
Beneficiaries of the Scheme
All the small and medium farmers are the main beneficiaries of the scheme. According to the announcement, 25 lakhs farmers will be benefited from the scheme. The beneficiaries have to be the residents of the State, possessing a residential certificate.
The budget of the Scheme
For the implementation of the scheme, the State Government has allotted Rs. 700 Crores.
Implementation of the Scheme
The State Government has implemented the loan waving scheme of the farmers across the state. Through this, a portion of the loan amount will be waived off. With the zero interest crop loan, the State Government has taken other steps to enhance the lives of the farmers in Gujarat.

The countdown is on to Sunday's Grammy Awards at Madison Square Garden, but what is usually a celebratory week for the music industry has received a sobering reality check.
The USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative has released its first-ever examination of the music industry.
The initiative has in the past spotlighted the diversity shortcomings in the film and TV industries, but the new study — titled "Inclusion in the Recording Studio?" — paints a disheartening picture for female artists, songwriters and producers.
The study looked at 600 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 2012 and 2017. Results showed that in 2017, 83.2% of artists were male versus 16.8% female. For songwriters, 87.7% were male while 12.3% were female, and among producers, 98% were male and 2% were female.
When it comes to Grammy nominees in the top categories between 2013-2018, 90.7% were male and 9.3% were female.
Despite the prominence of artists such as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Adele, there's a big fall-off after those top names.

Q: About linear dependence in covariance matrix and implications on the variables If I have a covariance matrix with rank less than full, I can discard of a variable as long as the remaining variables still span the original space.
But let's say I discover that for $3\times 3$ covariance matrix, I get that $r_1=r_2+r_3$ for a matrix row $r$. Does this mean that $X_1=X_2+X_3$?
Thanks.
*Edit: Maybe I should refine it a bit. My question is about the link from dependency in the covariance matrix, which represents only the 2nd order statistics, and the liner dependency (not statistical dependency) of the variables. Thanks.

A: Okay, I found the answer.
Let $\Lambda$ be the covariance matrix for some random vector $X$.
A singular covariance matrix implies there's a nonzero vector $y$ s.t. $y'\Lambda y = 0$.
This would indicate that there exists a random variable $Y=y'X$ for which $var(Y)=var(y'X)=y'\Lambda y=0$, hence it is known w.p. 1.
Since $Y=y_0$ w.p.1 we know that there exists some linear combination s.t. $y_0=\sum b_i X_i$ and hence $\frac{y_0}{b_1} - \sum_{i=2}^N \frac{b_i}{b_1}X_i = X_1$, or: one of the variables is a.s. a linear combination of the others.
