The Mouvement pour une école moderne et ouverte (MÉMO) is a political party in the educational system of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has governed the Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM) since the commission's founding in 1998.

Origins
MÉMO was founded in August 1987 to contest that year's elections for the Montreal Catholic School Commission (MCSC). The party was secular and progressive in its orientation, and its primary goal was replacing Quebec's denominational school boards with boards based on language. MÉMO's first president was Marie-France Cloutier, who argued that the MCSC's promotion of Roman Catholic education and values had created an exclusionary climate.

MÉMO was supported in the 1987 elections by the Montreal branch of the Parti Québécois (PQ). The party won four out of nineteen seats. This was regarded by many as a moral victory, in that it marked the first time in several years that an organized opposition movement had won any credible representation on the commission.

In opposition, on the Montreal Catholic School Commission
1987–90
MÉMO served as the official opposition to Michel Pallascio's conservative board executive from 1987 to 1990.

In April 1990, one MÉMO commissioner criticized Pallascio's board for passing a resolution mandating that school principals be required to uphold "Christian values." In the same period, the party reiterated its belief that only linguistic school boards could bring about improved cultural relations.
1990–94
In the 1990 school board elections, new MÉMO leader Kenneth George called for the MCSC to be restructured as a francophone board and for its English-speaking students to be transferred to a new Montreal-wide anglophone board. In this campaign, the party was endorsed by diverse persons and groups such as Montreal mayor Jean Doré, the Parti Québécois, and the English-language Montreal Gazette newspaper. The party won nine seats on the expanded twenty-one member board, against eleven for Pallascio's governing Regroupement scolaire confessionnel (RSC) and one for a MÉMO-aligned independent. Pallascio was personally defeated by a MÉMO candidate. George resigned as leader after the elections and was replaced on a temporary basis by Yves Poulin; Diane De Courcy became the party's full-time leader the following year.

The Montreal Catholic School Commission was marked by strong partisan divisions in the early 1990s. In 1991, a MÉMO representative proposed the introduction of condom machines to the commission's high schools; this was voted down by the RSC. Later in the same year, most MÉMO representatives supported an unsuccessful motion to have the Canadian flag removed from the commission room. The Quebec government put the board under a six-month partial trusteeship in 1992, after MÉMO and the RSC were unable to agree on the board's next director-general (whose appointment required a two-thirds majority).

During this period, some critics argued that MÉMO's support for a francophone school board caused it to ignore the concerns of anglophone students. A representative of the MCSC's English sector said "there was definitely a pattern" of the party working against real or perceived gains by his department, though he added that this was based on MÉMO's strategic goals and not by malice. MÉMO said that its policies were not intended to be anti-English.

The Montreal Catholic School Commission unexpectedly endorsed MÉMO's proposal for linguistic boards in June 1994, when two RSC members broke ranks to support an opposition motion on the issue. This helped bring about the dissolution of the MCSC and its replacement in 1998 by the Commission scolaire de Montréal.
1994–98
The last election for the Montreal Catholic School Commission was held in 1994. MÉMO ran on a platform of targeting high dropout rates and corrupt administration; it also called for a moratorium on school board restructuring until after a planned referendum on Quebec independence, so as to avoid confusion over Quebec's constitutional responsibilities for education. MÉMO won ten seats, compared with nine for the RSC and two for a new group called the Commissaires unis pour un renouveau scolaire (COURS). The RSC and COURS later formed a coalition, and MÉMO remained in opposition for the next four years.

MÉMO supported the Quebec sovereignty option in Quebec's 1995 referendum on independence, arguing that sovereignty would help to eliminate "privileged treatment" for anglophones in both the MCSC and the Protestant School Board of Greater Montreal. The two boards in question responded by accusing MÉMO of pitting anglophone students against their francophone counterparts. All elected MÉMO representatives indicated their personal support for sovereignty, which was narrowly defeated by Quebec voters.

In early 1998, MÉMO unsuccessfully sought to have two English schools in west-end Montreal re-designated for the proposed francophone board. MÉMO argued that the transfer would help correct a $74 million imbalance in the value of buildings exchanged between the Catholic and Protestant boards in anticipation of their replacement by linguistic boards. The MCSC executive responded that MÉMO was trying to start a "linguistic war" for electoral purposes and that the re-designation would have been illegal in any event.

Governing party on the Commission scolaire de Montréal
MÉMO won fourteen seats in the 1998 Commission scolaire de Montreal election, as against only seven for the RSC. MÉMO leader Diane De Courcy, who was chosen to chair the new commission, described the result as "a big change toward modernity — finally."

Following the election, De Courcy reiterated her party's request for $74 million worth of school buildings to be transferred from anglophone schools to the CSM. She was quoted as saying, "It doesn't bother me if it happens over two or three years. I have the interests of English students just as much at heart as the interests of French students." Subsequently, MÉMO also became involved in bitter quarrel with Montreal's four other school boards over control of the Montreal Island School Council.

In 1999, five of MÉMO's elected commissioners defected from the party to sit as independents in alliance with the RSC. This gave the opposition a majority on the commission, and, on September 1, the board voted to dismiss all members of the executive committee, including De Courcy. An independent investigator later determined that this dismissal had put the board in an illegal situation, and the provincial government imposed partial trusteeship over the CSM on September 29. De Courcy welcomed the government's intervention and argued that her opponents were motivated by a personal vendetta. She was subsequently re-confirmed in office, but for the next three years was forced to run the board in a minority situation. In October 2000, opposition members succeeded in removing MÉMO representatives from most positions on the CSM's committees.

In the buildup to the 2003 Commission scolaire de Montreal election, outgoing MÉMO councillor Robert Cadotte accused the PQ of effecting a takeover of the party. Although he himself was a PQ member, Cadotte said that he regarded the mixing of provincial and school board politics as dangerous. MÉMO won eighteen seats in this election, against three for a new grouping called the Collectif pour la réussite et l'épanouissement de l'enfant (CRÉE). This finally gave the party a secure majority, which it held for the next four years.

MÉMO won all twenty-one seats on the CSM in 2007, and Diane De Courcy continued as chair of the board.

In 2014 MÉMO won again all positions; chairman or president (Catherine Harel-Bourdon) and the 13 seats.

Entire monthly contribution to RWA exceeding ₹7,500 to be taxed, Maha AAR
Shishir Sinha | New Delhi, December 7 | Updated on: Dec 07, 2021
Madras HC to take up a similar matter on Friday
Debate over GST on monthly contribution to Resident Welfare Association is yet to settle even as Maharashtra AAR has held that entire payment of an amount over ₹7,500 towards the cause will be subject to GST.
This ruling has come at a time when a division bench of Madras High Court has to hear the similar matter on December 9. Earlier a single judge bench of Madras High Court ruled that only amount in excess of ₹7,500 will be taxed. However, division bench stayed this decision.
"We hold that a member contributes an amount which is more than ₹7,500 will not be eligible for the exemption under entry number 77 and the entire contribution amount is liable to be taxed, contribution may be whatever name called," AAR said while disposing the application by Mumbai based co-operative housing society (CHS) Mahindra Splendour. It may be noted that though AAR rulings are applicable only on applicant and jurisdictional tax officer, but can be referred in similar matters all over the country. Also, tax department uses many such rulings for notification or circular for entire sector.
AAR says as per entry 77 of notification (12/2017) is available only when a member's contribution per month is up to an amount of ₹7,500. Once the contribution exceeds ₹7,500, entire amount will be taxed. It relied upon a ruling by the Supreme Court's Constitution Bench of five judges in the case of Commissioner of Customs (Import), Mumbai Vs Dilip Kumar & Company and others. The bench had said, "The benefit of ambiguity in exemption notification cannot be claimed by the subject/assessee and it must be interpreted in favour of the revenue/State."
AAR noted that a single judge bench of Madras High Court quashed CBIC circular talking about taxability of entire amount. Since "a Division Bench has issued stay order to the said ruling. And, therefore, in our view, the matter has yet not been settled," AAR said while ruling entire amount to be taxed in case monthly contribution exceeds ₹7,500.
It may be recalled that Tamil Nadu AAR, in its order in June 21, 2019, had stated that grant of exemption was conditional upon the contribution being an amount of ₹7,500 or less. "If the contribution exceeded the sum of ₹7,500, the very entitlement of that RWA to exemption would stand defeated and the entirety of the amount collected would have to be brought to tax," it said.
Following this, a Finance Ministry circular, dated July 22, 2019, explained that the exemption from GST on maintenance charges charged by a RWA from residents is available only if such charges do not exceed ₹7,500 per month per member. "In case the charges exceed ₹7,500 per month per member, the entire amount is taxable. For example, if the maintenance charges are ₹9,000 per month per member, GST at 18 per cent shall be payable on the entire amount of Rs 9,000 and not on (₹9,000 – ₹7,500) ₹1,500," it explained. Since the issuance of circular, it has been facing judicial scrutiny.

Q: jsch sudo no password required I want to run the follow commands:
    ssh sudouser@host1
    sudo mkdir aaa
sudoUser can run sudo command without input password. I referred to the following links : here, here, and here. I made my scripts. But after I run code below, it always hangs there.
So how can I handle the scenario of sudo without password?
import com.jcraft.jsch.*;
import java.io.*;

public class sudo{
  public static void main(String[] arg){
    try{
      JSch jsch=new JSch();

      String host="hostip";

       Session session=jsch.getSession("user", host, 22);

       session.setPassword("pass");
       java.util.Properties config = new java.util.Properties();
       config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
       session.setConfig(config);

      session.connect();

      String command="mkdir try";
      String sudo_pass=null;

      sudo_pass="";

      Channel channel=session.openChannel("exec");

     // man sudo
     // -S The -S (stdin) option causes sudo to read the password from the
     // standard input instead of the terminal device.
     // -p The -p (prompt) option allows you to override the default
     // password prompt and use a custom one.
     ((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand("sudo -S -p '' "+command);

     ((ChannelExec) channel).setPty(true);

     InputStream in=channel.getInputStream();
      OutputStream out=channel.getOutputStream();
     ((ChannelExec)channel).setErrStream(System.err);

     channel.connect();

     out.write((sudo_pass+"\n").getBytes());
     out.flush();

     byte[] tmp=new byte[1024];
     while(true){
       while(in.available()>0){
         int i=in.read(tmp, 0, 1024);
         if(i<0)break;
         System.out.print(new String(tmp, 0, i));
       }
       if(channel.isClosed()){
          System.out.println("exit-status: "+channel.getExitStatus());
          break;
        }
        try{Thread.sleep(1000);}catch(Exception ee){}
     }
      channel.disconnect();
      session.disconnect();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
      System.out.println(e);
    }
  }
}

A: In this line
((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand("sudo -S -p '' "+command);

you're setting the -S and -p options which are probably causing it to hang because it's now waiting for password input.

A: My issue is solved. Below is my findings.

*

*In  /etc/sudoers, if  Defaults requiretty is commented, we cannot use ((ChannelExec) channel).setPty(true); or it will just hang there. If requiretty is enabled, we need to setPty to true.

*If your sudoer does not need password to switch to root, you still need to give sudoer password to run ((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand("sudo -S -p '' "+command);.

3.If you changed /etc/sudoers file for several times and it's better for you to reboot your host, it seems the host might be confused after you change the file too many times.

This was a rewarding thriller from start to the #WTF finale. David, Adele and Louise become intertwined with each other in messy and complicated ways. The entire novel is spent unpacking how their relationships and secrets become unraveled from each other. The novel alternates point of view between Adele and Louise. We quickly learn that Adele's home life and actions are more calculated and less sympathetic then she lets on. Louise is a flawed and relateable single mom, who makes choices to satiate her emotions, without thinking them through. Together Adele and Louise form a friendship and narrative that I became completely immersed in.
"The past is as ephemeral as the future--it's all perspective and smoke and mirrors."
Pinborough not only has created believable well fleshed out characters but she builds up suspense very well. The reader is slowly clued in before other characters in the book realize what's happening. If you ever been in love you can relate to the impulsive and blinding magnetism it can have on someone in a relationship. This story is all about love, self love, friendship love, family love and romantic love. The author was able to relate all the ways love can scar and harm as well as help in the course of a life.
"He asked me once if it was possible to love someone so much that it makes you completely blind to them for a while . I told him that's what love is at its heart. Only seeing the good in someone. I said love was a kind of madness in itself..."
There is no way you can guess the ending, and I was pleasantly surprised that I could still be shocked with how a book ends. The twists and turns involved with this plot, kept me guessing. The psychological analysis didn't interrupt the flow and added more depth to the characters. I did feel the mystery involved could have been drawn out longer. Despite that I enjoyed the journey of three people on a collision course, which wrapped up everything well and left no loose ends. I would recommend this to readers who love psychological thrillers and enjoy a memorable ending that will make you want to throw this book at the wall.
* "Unblock" your joy and learn to "go with the Flow"
Filled with personal experiences and insightful stories from readers, friends, and seminar participants, this uplifting get-real guide is a must-read for women who want to develop their spiritual strength and tap into their divine potential. Discover how to have a life of joy, peace, power, and ease.
This book was a breath of fresh air. The chapters were full of positivity and suggestions on how to get more out of life. I wanted to find a self-help book that I could reference and think deeply about, and this was it. It is geared towards black women, but has great tools that everyone can apply. Between life lessons, the author includes relate-able stories about women struggling to find joy through different circumstances and stages of their lives. The stories kept my interest and illustrated the real world applications of the principles described.
I read self-help books to find out how I can continue to grow and challenge myself to push forward. Theses 101 sacred power principles gave a plethora of guidance on how to be more spiritual and suggestions to take time out to recognize who you are as a whole person. There are positive quotes and further book recommendations galore. The author is heavy handed with referencing other people's books and suggestions, which came off as filler. However I was still pleasantly surprised with how much was included that I could apply to my life.
"You don't want to over identify with your strength or your weaknesses because they are only aspects of what makes you You. They are not the essence of what makes you You."
The biggest lesson I learned while reading is to give yourself enough space, forgiveness and time to process the world around you. The sections on spirituality were great because they didn't advance one belief system over another. There are also sections that encourage the reader to find people to learn and commune with. Building a supportive community around you is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. While this book was published seventeen years ago, nothing felt dated or out of touch with the times. I would recommend this to everyone who wants concrete suggestions to progress in their personal and professional lives.

Haunted all her life by feelings of terror and emptiness, forty-nine-year-old Urania Cabral returns to her native Dominican Republic - and finds herself reliving the events of 1961, when the capital was still called Trujillo City and one old man terrorized a nation of three million. Rafael Trujillo, the depraved ailing dictator whom Dominicans call the Goat, controls his inner circle with a combination of violence and blackmail. In Trujillo's gaudy palace, treachery and cowardice have become a way of life. But Trujillo's grasp is slipping. There is a conspiracy against him, and a Machiavellian revolution already underway that will have bloody consequences of its own. In this 'masterpiece of Latin American and world literature, and one of the finest political novels ever written' ("Bookforum"), Mario Vargas Llosa recounts the end of a regime and the birth of a terrible democracy, giving voice to the historical Trujillo and the victims, both innocent and complicit, drawn into his deadly orbit.

Spring's Last Fling
Well, not really. But May here is so darn warm, you'd think spring lasted 7-8 weeks in Philadelphia.
So we're back with 6 new reviews.
Allen starts us off with two new reviews: Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix (based on the classic manga of the same name), and a more recent series, the first season of Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You).
Carlos leaps ahead a season to give us a review of the recent Waiting in the Summer (aka Ano Natsu de Matteru, as crunchyroll users like me remember it as). Only clicking the link will tell you if he felt the series was worth the watch.
Aiden is then up with the mediocre Guilty Crown, and then our second review of 2012 - Nisemonogatari.
Our last show is a late addition to the schedule, though the show itself has been around for quite a while. Stig wraps up the review update with the humorous 2004 anime comedy Ninja Nonsense.
Next Monday we reveal onto you a Secret Update. See you then.
- Tim Jones
Update: In light of its recent license, Usagi Drop has been renamed into Bunny Drop.
Happy Tax Day
Or not. Speaking of taxing...
Starting us off is Nick, who is none too pleased by the awful first season of Recorder and Randsell. (Don't expect a review of season 2.) Fortunately, he has better luck with Durarara!!.
Aiden seems to be feeling the blues too, as he looks at the laughable Another.
Allen feels similar woes with True Tears, another entry on the long list of visual novel anime that are painful to sit through. He also gives a second take on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya season 2, but is not as pleased as even Carlos was.
On the upside, I review the surprisingly good Persona 4: The Animation, a giant shock to me after the absolutely awful Persona Trinity Soul.
See you guys again on April 30th.
April 3 2012, 4:37 AM
All for one, and all for Allen!
This update is nothing but reviews from recent member Allen Moody!
First up is a review of the Irresponsible Captain Tylor OAV series, which he almost gives five, but says it misses the mark. He does, however, give the next series, Noein, a solid five stars.
Unfortunately, he then struggles with his new couple of anime. He gives a second opinion on This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, barely giving it an extra star above the first opinion by Nick. Seven of Seven, about a girl who is split into 7 diverging personalities, gets the same score.
Allen then goes up again with two more 4-star reviews: the TV series version of Princess Resurrection, and the sequel to Ikki Tousen, Ikki Tousen: Dragon Destiny.
Due to our staff being busy, the next two updates will be bi-weekly. See you again on April 16th!


Abraham always sends me the right message at the right moment. I've been in a dark place the last few weeks. Writing an intense sequel (book three) that explores some serious and edgy themes: grief and loss and evil. And also, vampires–those venomous creatures intent on sucking you dry of life force. At the same time, I rewatched four seasons of Being Human, UK. I adore Mitchell (Aidan Turner). But…I've reached a point where I just can't handle any more darkness. I need to crawl out of the tomb, so to speak.
Cloistering myself with my laptop, digging into death and emotional pain, does not come without a price. Ironically, I'm feeling tension in my throat and neck, the vampiric space. I know it's emotional: a symptom of anxiety. I also know it dissipates with the light–when I laugh, meditate, socialize, go out walking in the woods, get happy. I'm not physically tired: I'm emotionally drained. Sometimes, I forget that when I turn off the screen or close the book, the story lives on in my head and manifests in my body. And then the rest of the world seeps in and I've got nothing left. Last week, all I wanted to do was crawl into a cave in the forest; this week I know I can't do that.
I need to pivot…to raise the energy. How do my witches do that? They dance, they sing, they laugh, they conjure fire to illuminate the dark.
Does this happen to you? Do you respond physically to what you are reading or watching? Do you cry? Get a stomach ache? Lose your voice? Does tragedy cut you off at the knees? How do you keep yourself balanced? How do you resurrect happy?
Always good to have a balance, the ying yang. Maybe add some light to your stories to balance out the dark, as life is like that too. Or good to surround oneself with good things maybe read happy stories, watch upbeat shows sometimes or be sure to surround yourself with good things and good people. Being out in nature is good too. Good to also balance the auras and chakras–you might like DV's book Chakra Clearing. I find I can be sensitive to too much violence, maybe that's why I'm drawn to romantic comedies, nothing corny I don't like that either I like a bit of an edge just not too much. As love and laughter I think will always win the day. Hope you're feeling better soon. Hugs, L.
I like that: love and laughter will always win the day. That's why we write these heroic epics.


quite bangin' from moguai. i like berry much.
A bit cheesy but still has that trademark driving bassline that's hammered by Prydz/Angello/Ingrosso/Dahlback/etc. Would be good if they brought out a dub.
BTW it's the Ingrosso mix of Euro.
Quiet week otherwise, refer to top 10's.
Best things to come out of sheep ****** land in ages.
lol was just walking through Castle Towers yesterday and I heard it in a coffee shop.
Derrick May wins by a sizeable margin, no?
The mix released in '90 on Buzz (often called the "Unreleased Mix") contains the best mix IMO. The drums never kick in, all you have is the piano building up through the entire track. Massive.
Great to see the release of that Fatty Acid EP from King Unique. First tracks of their own they've been able to release since being finally released from a contract with a label they weren't too fond of. Hopefully this should mean the release of Dandelion Crush soon.


As some you may know, I just got back from a journey with Jim Pidgeon and Diego Castello working on a documentary about The Power of Dreams. The documentary features Forrest Fenn, who 6 years ago hid a treasure in the rockies worth 2 million dollars to get people off their couches and 'out into the world'.
His philosophy is simple: push the edges.
Hearing him talk about that - hearing how he pushed the edges throughout his life - was an amazing experience. An experience that explores the fine lines between curiosity, obsession, and lunacy.
Making a movie, writing a book, singing a new song - this is lunacy. You are risking it all and putting it out there. You are exploring and pushing on the corners of your own big world.
For me, this isn't always easy. I love the routine. The easier path. The tried and true. Certainty.
But certainty is our greatest illusion. And creativity our greatest truth.
What am I searching for? That point of contact between horizon and the road you are standing on.
What do you think? Tell me your dreams.

Q: Integrity Error on object creation in Odoo I am developing a new model called implementation.project; it inherits from project.project. This is the class declaration:
class implementation_project(osv.Model):
    _name = 'implementation.project'
    _inherit = 'project.project'

Some fields (columns) are added to this class (model or whatever). Original model (project.project) has a one2many field called tasks. When I try to create new implementation.project record, the enigmatic Odoo raises this error:
IntegrityError: insert or update on table "project_task_type_rel" violates foreign key constraint "project_task_type_rel_project_id_fkey"
DETAIL:  Key (project_id)=(6) is not present in table "project_project".

Obviously!!!! It has to exist project.project record to create anything that inherits from him!!! I guess Odoo (according to some, a good platform to develop) has the ability to know how to proceed in this case... or not?
So, how to create new record from implementation.project?
Thanks in advance.

A: In Your currenct example, field tasks is one2many to project.task model by field project_id:
'tasks': fields.one2many('project.task', 'project_id', "Task Activities"),
, which means that Odoo expects project.task model to have many2one field project_id that references implementation.project model, but project.task model still have field project_id as foreign key to project.project model:
'project_id': fields.many2one('project.project', 'Project', ...)

, but Your implementation.project is completely new model (and database table).
May be inheritance by delegation will better suit for Your needs?
Also look in inheritance doc
In this case, your implementation.project model will look like:
class implementation_project(osv.Model):
    _name = 'implementation.project'
    _inherits = {'project.project': 'project_id'}

    _columns = {
        'project_id': fields.many2one('project.project', 'Project'),
    }

This will allow to use all fields of project.project model on Your own model, with out no changes.
For examples You may look at product.template and product.product models code

Catches six passes with Carter out
Dec 4 2:10pm
Johnson rushed once for three yards and caught six of seven targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to Minnesota.
With Michael Carter (ankle) inactive, Johnson was the Jets' running back of choice in passing situations. Johnson will either take on a similar role in Week 14 against the Bills if Carter sits again or be relegated to the bench if Carter returns, as Zonovan Knight has emerged as the Jets' primary running back since Carter went down.

This software implements the model described in the paper "Neighbor Discovery Latency in BLE-Like Protocols". It can compute the discovery latencies of periodic interval-based protocols. The model produces exact, theoretically proven results for the ideal problem (i.e., one devices scans with an interval Ts, another device advertises with an interval Ta). Therefore, it is usable for ANT/ANT+ and STEM-B without any modifications. It does not account for the multi-channel discovery scheme and random advertising delay of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). However, for most parametrizations, the model is an excellent approximation also for BLE.
computes the minimum (dMin), maximum (dMax) and mean (dAvg) discovery latency. In addition, the highest process order (o), as defined in the paper, is computed. The function expects the following input values.
dA: Packet transmission duration in seconds. For BLE, this is the number of bytes to send x 8 x 10⁻6 s/byte.
il: Iteration limit - number of orders to process. Set to something high (e.g., 1000).
The package contains an example file (viz., createFigure.m). It demonstrates the usage of the model by plotting latencies over sweeping values of Ta.
Our model can be downloaded here.
Please consider citing our paper Neighbor discovery latency in BLE-like protocols (IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, to appear) if you make use of our model in you research.

Q: Should jquery scripts or remote: true option be used to implement ajax features in rails? It seems that to add ajax features to a rails app, we can either directly add jquery scripts in views, like
$(#some_form).on('input', () => {
  $.ajax({
    url: 'some_url',
    method: 'verb',
    data: {some_data}
  }).trigger('input')

or we can use the rails way, which simply add remote: true to the form.
However, it seems that the jquery way is more flexible and allows better separation of front end and back end. Which one of the two ways should be recommended or is more practical in production?

A: Rails way in fact is many times simpler as you can see that a form is remote by simply looking at the view. In your case, you have to go and find the associated handler and see what handler is doing. You also have to write good amount of boilerplate code at the risk of introducing bugs.
Following is the way Rails documentation provides
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/working_with_javascript_in_rails.html#remote-elements
You can even avoid writing any client side JS code by using js.erb view files to do what you want to happen on successful operation.
Ultimately, there is no perfect answer to this. There is always some trade-off.

The 'Othering' of Somalis and How This Impacts Kenya's War on Terror
Posted by admin On September 23, 2019 0 Comment
By Ibrahim Magara,
The othering of the Somali community in Kenya is perhaps one of the single most important factors fanning the historical marginalisation and current identity contestation. This othering is characterised by stereotyping, with symbolically fixed boundaries including popular narratives about the Somali community's inability to integrate. It takes a simple observation of the patterns of the Somali lifestyle in urban set-ups like Nairobi to determine that they indeed live in same and specific locations, do business in specific spaces etc. The historical disavowal of Kenya's Somalis is based on several fetishes of differences relating to their language, culture and religion, but also with its own poetics, deeply invested in power as a product of discursive and hegemonic practices well theorised in mainstream discourse analyses. Under colonial rule, Somalis were stereotyped as "hostile", "warlike" or "warriors", concepts that the Kenyan government and the non-Somali Kenyan public seem to have easily accepted without question; they are assumed and adopted as true representations of Somali identity. This has come with a huge cost, as experienced through the so-called "violence of decolonisation" and indeed current struggle with homegrown extremist violence, which the majority of the Somali youth are perceived as highly exposed to. The lack of integration of the Somali community and lack of interaction between them and the non-Somali populations in Kenya exist in and furthers relations of mutual suspicion. But since the government is seen as controlled by the non-Somali communities, the Somalis are simply victims of asymmetric relations in which they are viewed by the rest as troublesome. It takes a little attentiveness to the public mood and you will tell that such sentiments are heavily pronounced every time there is a terror attack. In such times, suspicion of the Somalis seems to surge and a lot of ordinary non-Somali Kenyans create a narrative that is openly aggressive to Somalis but somehow, with the help of the posture and conduct of the state, such aggressiveness is normalised. It reminds me of an incident in 2015 after the Garissa attack when I attended a function in Nairobi in the company of a Somali driver who was wearing a kanzu. At some point after midday, he wanted to go for prayers in a mosque across the road and so he came to where I was to inform me about it. As he walked away, someone remarked, albeit jokingly, if "we were safe", a statement that I found offensive, not only to my colleague but to Somalis and any reasonable person really. Of course, I raised my concern over the same, to which the said person casually apologised. This was especially annoying given the stature of the person in question and the nature of the event. It goes to show that as a society there is a prevalent perception about Somalis that we have been reluctant to interrogate in relation to the bigger discourse on terrorism. The othering narrative discursively accentuates the distorted imagery of the Somalis as "warlike" or as the "enemy of the Kenyan state" and even birthed the derogatorily yet normalised stereotype of "wariah", which is a rather unconscious continuation of the colonial representation of their identity as "warriors" by the public. This stereotype of Somalis has undoubtedly influenced the Kenyan government's perceptions and handling of the Somalis but also positions the wider public against the Somali community. It should not be lost on us that by the time the NFD was handed over to the post-independent Kenyan government, stereotypes of "warlike" Somalis contributed to the beginning of anti-Somali sentiments, with an emergence of more derogatory repertoires mutating and normalised over time, ranging from "shiftas", "wariah", "bandits', "jangili", "Al Shabab", "Al Shabaab sympathisers", and most recently, "cash points". Such images, real or imaginary, have continued to influence the Kenyan authorities' behaviour towards the Somalis, leading to gross violations of human rights, for instance as was witnessed during Operation Usalama Watch that followed the Westgate attack. The historical othering was discursively articulated by portraying the Somali quest for independence as "secessionist" and its people as being anti the Kenyan state. It is simply the nuanced formulation of such configuration that justifies the current narrative that associates Somalis with terrorism, or at least as sympathisers of Al Shabaab, and hence collectively perceived and dealt with as a threat to national security. Regardless of the political rhetoric of unity, the actions of the government and the mood of the general public regarding the place of Somalis in the wider scheme of CVE and the war on terror are that the community is a "problem to be fixed" – the same logic employed by the CVE programmes in the West, particularly in the US and the UK. The relationship of antagonism between the state and the Somali community causes anxiety and uncertainty, especially at this critical moment when the state desperately needs genuine input from the Somali community if its CVE programme and the wider war on terror is to "succeed". While there is a need for a sense of national unity and pride (patriotism) in the campaign against terrorism and extremist violence, the Somali othering obstinately negates the sense of that value by revealing the ambivalences of the Kenyan state as a stable unified entity, which creates fault lines that continue to be exploited to the advantage of terrorists, particularly Al Shabaab. It should not be lost on us that by the time the NFD was handed over to the post-independent Kenyan government, stereotypes of "warlike" Somalis contributed to the beginning of anti-Somali sentiments, with an emergence of more derogatory repertoires mutating and normalised over time, ranging from "shiftas", "wariah", "bandits', "jangili", "Al Shabab", "Al Shabaab sympathisers", and most recently, "cash points". Furthermore, this othering continues to be reinvented and redeployed as a tool for Kenya's own precarious constitution as a "nation" but also as a justification for the perceived Somali revolt against their own country, including their indifference to the war on terror and government's CVE programmes.
Which way now for CVE and war on terror?
Now that Kenya is already deep in the problematic war on terror, it is imperative to keep up the tempo of counterterrorism operations in order to eliminate threats and degrade the capabilities of militants, particularly Al Shabaab. Indeed, nothing can justify terrorism and violent extremism, but we must also acknowledge that they do not arise in a vacuum. As the United Nations Secretary-General (UN-SG) rightly notes, "actual or perceived injustice and promised empowerment become attractive wherever human rights are being violated, good governance is being ignored and aspirations are being crushed." He particularly singles out state violence and abuse of power as "tipping point" for terror. If the Kenyan state is to make and/or consolidate its gains, if any, on the war on terror, it must deeply reflect on its positionality in regard to the conception and approaches that it has since adopted and experimented on. This includes, but is not limited to, a genuine appraisal of how the state's perception and handling of the Somali community undermine the country's own efforts against extremist violence. To address any type of violence, society must focus on the structures that disadvantage certain groups, including historically marginalised communities – not just obvious physical violence, but also structural violence, such as that related to and sustained by inequities. This is for the simple reason that violence, including terrorism, emerges and survives in environments of identity contestation, hence ultimately insurgencies are best defeated by political legitimacy. In its attempts to tackle the drivers and enablers of extreme violence, Kenya needs to open a political conversation on the county's painful history and create a platform through which to forge a future that promises opportunities for all its people. This is one of the pathways to enacting in its people the sense of patriotism and national unity that are vital ingredients in the struggle against insurgency and the ever-changing terrain of security challenges. This calls for re-imagination of ingenious and pragmatic approaches in forging solidarity in addressing the pressing security concerns of our time. Unfortunately, instead of exploring opportunities to heal wounds, as suggested by the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC), and mending ties in pursuit of the national interest, specifically national security, it appears that the war on terror and approaches to CVE that the Kenyan state continues to adopt are deeply Western and historically and contextually insensitive. Hence they actually contribute to reproducing and deepening antagonism between the state and a section of its own society, thereby significantly undermining the former's security objectives. One then wonders if and how Kenya's current CVE programme and counterterrorism strategies, tilted to Western framings and laden with American bias, will succeed. It certainly is a problematic issue area, especially when the CVE within the purview of the war on terror is perceived as nothing other than a violent return of the colonial past, with its split geographies of "us" and "them"; "civilization" and "barbarism"; and "good" and "evil". Without any intention whatsoever to validate such grave claims and conspiracies, one would want to seriously consider the implication of certain narratives that are prevalent in Kenyan society, especially during and around terror attacks. Issues, such as claims of Al Shabaab discrimination during attacks and/or conspiracy theories such as that there was word among Somalis about the impending attack at the Garissa University College, calls on experts to reflect deeply on such matters and place them in their historical-political context as they wrestle with the process of meaning-making of Kenya's prospects as far as the war on terror is concerned and the positionality of the Somali community in these complex dynamics.

Global Jewry
Conversion: The Deafening Silence of Religious Zionists
On issues relating to Jewish identity in Israel, Diaspora Jews are not only entitled but are obliged to be party to discussions.
However, the current upheaval over the proposed Rotem conversion legislation has limited bearing on Diaspora or American Jews as it relates only to conversions here.
Ironically however, the brouhaha from US Conservative and Reform groups – while based on false premises – had a positive impact, forcing the government to at least temporarily postpone the legislation.
There was one brief moment in 1998 when current Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman came close to achieving a consensual agreement for conversions that would have been consistent both with Halacha and accommodating the major requirements of the Conservative and Reform Jewish organizations.
Regrettably, it was ultimately sabotaged by hard-liners from both sides. Since then, it has been clear that in the foreseeable future this issue will not be resolved by legislation or fiat and will remain a matter of contention between opposing Jewish groups.
But today we face an impending crisis that cannot await the resolution of this issue.
Since their arrival, 350,000 immigrants, primarily from the former Soviet Union, most having one Jewish parent, remain in a nightmarish limbo.
On the one hand, they consider themselves Israelis in every respect, attend Israeli schools, serve in the IDF and and are willing to lay their lives down for their country. Yet due to historical circumstances beyond their control they are not regarded as halachically Jewish.
As a consequence, 90,000 of them born here, who will soon be of marriageable age are considered "ticking time bombs."
They will become deeply alienated when they discover that they are unable to obtain state certification for a marriage ceremony or even be buried in a Jewish cemetery.
YET IT is not an insolvable problem. There was an equivalent predicament with the Ethiopian aliya, which in terms of Halacha was far more problematic. But due to the foresight and creative intervention of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef the problem was resolved within a halachic framework.
The proposed conversion legislation introduced by MK David Rotem on behalf of Israel Beiteinu was intended to resolve the problem by broadening the conversion authority to a cross-section of rabbis including those more sensitive to the need to exercise maximum halachic flexibility to those seeking to convert.
However, after Rotem naïvely accepted the haredi amendments, the proposed legislation would in reality have worsened the current intolerable situation and further institutionalized control of the conversion procedure by the most extreme elements. Currently applicants to local rabbinical courts requiring certification that they are Jewish frequently undergo a draconian interrogation. Many are treated in the first instance as if they were not Jewish and even obliged to provide birth and death certificates and marriage contracts going back three generations – documents which are frequently simply unavailable.
Currently, the majority of rabbis approved by the Chief Rabbinate are programmed to dissuade potential converts by imposing the most stringent barriers to conversion at a time when it is in the national interest to encourage Israelis who are not halachically Jewish to become part of the formal religiously sanctioned community. They recently even took the unprecedented step of attempting to retroactively annul 15,000 conversions conducted by the unquestionably Orthodox Rabbi Haim Druckman – a step unheard of in Jewish tradition. This is all the more bizarre because the haredim themselves refuse to recognize the authority of the Chief Rabbinate, which they hijacked merely to coerce the Israeli community to adhere to their stringent standards of religious ritual observance.
PROF. BINYAMIN Ish-Shalom, the founding chairman of the Joint Conversion Institute and Beit Morasha, is recognized as one of the most devoted and committed Orthodox intellectuals seeking to promote Jewish values and build bridges between religious and secular Israelis. But even he concluded that the proposed law will incur "more damage than good and set dangerous precedents with potentially disastrous results."
He maintains that the proposed legislation would enable the centralized Supreme Rabbinical Court to control the placement of rabbis and thus exclude any Tzohar or centrist rabbi who has a sympathetic approach to conversion. The legislation would also require a beit din to be composed of three municipal rabbis who could not appoint substitute rabbis – making it practically impossible for such bodies to operate.
Ish-Shalom also points out that by providing for review of conversions by the Supreme Rabbinical Court, the proposed law provides a green light to the annulment of any previous conversion undertaken by the state which could inflict additional suffering on converts.
It is noteworthy that Rabbi Haim Amsalem, a Shas MK, recently published a scholarly book promoting a more positive attitude toward converts, especially children of Jewish ancestry who serve in the IDF, which he claims in itself reflects a sincere intention of becoming part of the Jewish people. However, none of the 34 current conversion judges appointed by the state would concur with his position and the entire haredi establishment bitterly attacked him, describing his work as "a mockery of Halacha," but could not fault the bona fides of his halachic approach.
The immediate problem is the operation of the multimillion shekel state-sponsored conversion enterprise controlled by the Chief Rabbinate, which only converts a few hundred immigrants each year. It should be dissolved and substituted by a process whereby a broader range of Orthodox rabbis should have the authority to form a beit din to process conversions, as has been the case in Diaspora communities throughout the ages.
Those who consider that these conversions are insufficiently stringent are not obliged to recognize them – a situation which already prevails among many haredim, who would not accept within their families those converted outside of their own immediate rabbinical circles.
How are the religious Zionists in the Knesset responding to this? Some, without adequately checking the facts, have foolishly endorsed the legislation and a few have disapproved.
However, the majority privately whisper that the legislation is retrograde but lack the courage to speak out in opposition, fearful of being castigated by the haredim.
If they remain silent on such an important issue, it is high time for them to retire from politics. If their one-dimensional obsession with settlements has led them to abdicating the central religious life issues to haredim, they should become a straightforward settlement party and cease claiming to represent the viewpoint of religious Zionists.
Their deafening silence in this debate is cowardly. There is a desperate need for religious Zionist activists who are willing to promote a religious Jewish world outlook by example, not by coercion, and willing to indulge in dialogue with other sections of the Israeli and Jewish world without being intimidated by haredim.

On 25 July 2008, the Supreme Court's newish Taxing Master Wood decided a question about the transitional effect of amendments to the provisions about lawyer-client taxations (now called 'reviews') under the Legal Profession Act, 2004. The decision is Law Institute of Victoria v RK. In relation to such taxations of costs, the Act was amended in important ways on 9 May 2007. In this particular case, the facts were that the costs agreement predated the amendments, as did the doing of the work, but the giving of the bill and the application for taxation post-dated them. Master Wood decided that the amended Act would govern all lawyer-client taxations held after the amendments took effect, including this one. He expressed his distaste for the Law Institute's opportunistic attempt to wriggle out of a costs agreement it had negotiated with a lawyer, describing its behaviour as 'unjust'.
The previous version of the Legal Profession Act, 2004 provided that in a lawyer-client taxation of costs under a costs agreement in a non-litigious matter, the costs must be taxed not against the costs agreement but against the Practitioner Remuneration Order: old s. 3.4.43(3). The PRO as it is called (formerly 'SRO') is a bit like the court scales, except for non-litigious work like advice, conveyancing and contract drafting. That was insane, and almost certainly a drafting error. In other matters, the terms of the costs agreement negotiated and agreed between the lawyer and the client were just one of 11 factors which the Taxing Master had a discretion to consider as part of a broader mandatory enquiry into the fairness and reasonableness of the amount of the costs in relation to the work: old s. 3.4.44(1). Essentially, the Taxing Master could say "Costs Agreement Shmosts Agreement" and go with Mabo, the Constitution, justice and the vibe, a prospect which I doubt the Taxing Master found very appealing in the first place. It is an oversimplification to say that the amended Act directed the Taxing Master to tax bills given under costs agreements by reference to the terms of the costs agreement, but it will do for the purposes of this post.
Master Wood declared that all lawyer-client taxations of bills regulated by the Legal Profession Act, 2004 which take place after the 9 May 2007 amendments came into operation are to be decided pursuant to the amended Act. Lady Justice should be happy about that because this way, the drafting anomalies in the pre-amendment version are given the shortest possible life, and can now be forgotten about, the bizarro heterodoxy of the errors replaced with beautiful orthodoxy, the world of costs returned to the way its characters like it.

LITHUANIA - $40 Million for Holocaust Survivors
Arno Froese
Lithuania's prime minister made what one Jewish organization called an "important step" by introducing legislation to allocate more than $38 million as restitution for Holocaust survivors and their heirs.
"Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė's proposal is an important step to providing a measure of justice to Lithuanian Holocaust survivors and their families for the horrors they suffered during World War II and its aftermath," the World Jewish Restitution Organization said in a statement. "We look forward to the opportunity to review this new legislation that would continue the process of property restitution and support Jewish life in Lithuania."
The Lithuanian government has previously acted before to compensate Holocaust victims. Over a decade ago, the parliament passed legislation to allocate 36 million Euros, then worth about $72 million, for a Good Will Foundation that funds projects to benefit the country's Jewish population. The money was considered restitution for communal property seized from Lithuania's Jewish community under the Nazi occupation.
"This payment represented only partial value of the properties," the WJRO explained. However, "it provided much needed funds to support Jewish communal life in Lithuania, restored several Jewish heritage sites, and offered modest payments to needy survivors."
-www.jta.org, 2 December 2022
Arno's Commentary
This relatively small Baltic country, populated by only 2.7 million people, has registered phenomenal growth after breaking off from the Soviet Union. They joined the WTO in May 2001 and became a member of the European Union in 2004. In January 2015, they adopted the euro. The per-capita GDP has reached $37,100 (2019).
The fact that Lithuania faces its past is to be commended, and so is the WJRO (World Jewish Restitution Organization), who documented that over 90% of Lithuania's Jews were annihilated during the Nazi era. What is particularly significant is the apparent willingness by the government to restore a significant amount of value lost during the war by its Jewish population. One must also keep in mind that the atrocities, according to WJRO research, took place between 1941 and 1944; that is over 80 years ago.
Thus, the question arises: will other nations compensate the original inhabitants of their land, such as America's native Indians or Australia's Aboriginals? The answer is probably no, because documentation is somewhat lacking, and the natives of those countries had little to no capacity to record facts and figures.
Now our question: when will unrighteousness cease? Here the Bible gives the answer: "And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever" (Revelation 11:15).

Lucky cat Astro survives Finley Point wildfire
By Megan Mannering (KPAX)August 5, 2021
August 5, 2021 By Missoula Current
POLSON (KPAX) — We've seen tragedy play out right before our eyes the last few days in Polson, but amid the chaos we've also seen some incredible stories emerge.
After running away during his family's evacuation, Astro, a Polson family's pet cat, reunited with his owner on Tuesday afternoon. Burnt and bruised with damaged lungs, swollen paws and missing whiskers Astro survived the ordeal.
After a terrifying weekend, the luckiest cat in western Montana finally came home. But home doesn't have an address anymore, it's in the arms of Alia Tavenner.
Holding down the fort for her dad this summer, Alia's been living on Finley Point, taking care of the family vineyard and keeping her little brothers' cat, Astro, company in the house she's spent every summer.
"I used to live there with my grandmother. She played piano a lot, so she's pretty upset one of the pianos got burnt, but yeah, that house was pretty special for sure," Alia said.
After this weekend, only the bones of a wobbly structure still stand. The house is gone. "There's nothing, the chimney, maybe the washing machine.
Like the rest of Polson, Alia now has quite the story to tell when remembering the summer of 2021.
"The night started getting darker around 9. I stepped out of the house and I smelled the smoke and there was a bit of ash in the air, and it was so unusually warm for that time of night. So, I started to get worried even though I knew the firefighters would call me. Then a little bit of time went by and I decided that I should get ready," she wrote
Somewhere between the packing and panicking, Astro disappeared.
"Right before he was about to get into the pickup truck he dashed out. We were all like 'The cat ran off … Astro, Astro, where's Astro?' " Alia said.
In a scene straight out of a movie, Astro was forced onto a cliff, and as the fire came closer and closer, he finally reached the edge of the cliff and used one of his nine lives and jumped.
From where he landed in a tree, to a firefighter, to the sheriff, to the animal rescue, to the vet— Astro made it back to his family through a chain of community kindness.
"He's gonna be fine," Alia told MTN News.
The house may be gone, but Astro serves as a beacon of hope for the family as they pick up the pieces and move on.
"After some time of thinking you realize that it's just a chance to rebuild, make a better house, and make new memories," Alia said.
"You can't hold onto material things. As long as we're okay, as long as everybody makes it out and little kitty is fine, there isn't that much loss," she concluded.
Alia says there are too many people to thank for getting her out of the house safely and saving Astro. In fact, South Shore Veterinary Service is even covering Astro's medical expenses.
Once he's fully recovered, Astro is gonna try the "indoor cat" lifestyle for a while.

73-year-old man dies after hit-and-run crash in Richmond's Southside
Samuel Pope
By Ashley Monfort | February 19, 2018 at 3:57 PM EST - Updated August 14 at 3:00 PM
RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - A 73-year-old Richmond man was killed Saturday night after a hit-and-run crash at the intersection of Maury Street and Perdue Avenue.
Samuel R. Pope died at the hospital after his vehicle was hit just before 7 p.m. Police say the driver of a four-door sedan fled the scene with a woman and small child.
His girlfriend of 20 years, Shirley Fordham, says Pope was retired but he never stopped working.
"Cleaning up offices at the library building and he worked at the store, Southside Grocery Store, as a truck driver," she said.
The last time she talked to Pope was to remind him to pick her up from a friend's house.
"I said make sure you have your phone on, because half the time it's in his pocket he can't hear it when it rings."
The Richmond Police Department's Crash Team said Pope was traveling eastbound on Maury Street in a pick-up truck, when the other vehicle traveling northbound on Perdue Avenue ran a stop sign and collided with Pope's vehicle.
Pope was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7:51 p.m. No one else was in his vehicle.
"How can you live with yourself like that? You killed a human being!" says Fordham.
She has one clear message for the driver or people who know him:
"Give yourself up, because right now, you got the devil in you."
Anyone with information about this crash is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.
