FROM THE HISTORY OF THE TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION. PHONODOCUMENTS
ID: MELCD1002349
Subcollection: Piano and Orchestra
Firma Melodiya presents a boxed set titled "International Tchaikovsky Competition. Phonographic Documents (1958-1986)".
The first ever Soviet music tournament instantly became one of the world's most prestigious competitions. The piano jury was chaired by Emil Gilels for many years, while David Oistrakh and Mstislav Rostropovich headed the violin and cello juries, respectively. Alexander Sveshnikov, an outstanding choirmaster and chancellor of the Moscow Conservatory, was a chairman of the vocal jury. For the fifty years of its existence, the Tchaikovsky Competition discovered numerous distinguished performers such as Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenasi, Grigory Sokolov, Eliso Virsaladze, John Lill, Michail Pletnev, Viktor Tretiakov, Gidon Kremer, Vladimir Spivakov, Oleg Kagan, Natalia Gutman, Elena Obraztsova, Maria Gulegina, Vladimir Atlantov, Yevgeny Nesterenko and Paata Burchuladze to name but a few. The set captures the brightest moments of eight Tchaikovsky Competitions in all categories. The recordings, including a number of never-before-released ones, were made immediately during the competition auditions
and at the prize-winners' recitals. The release is dedicated to the 175th anniversary of the great Russian composer.

Category: BOX 4 CD + 1 DVD

4 CDs: Chamber music

Major highlights: World premiere recording of the Complete Works for Piano by R.Hahn.
In collaboration with Fondazione Arte Nova, Association Reynaldo Hahn, and Heugel S.A.
For his entire life, Reynaldo Hahn was labeled as a composer of salon music, a lightweight, whose compositions were written to satisfy the academic tastes of social circles in the Belle Époque and during the period between the two wars. Luckily however, in recent years, a handful of performers and publishers have allowed us to discover the incredible
diversity of his eclectic and enchanting work. While not widely known, his piano music is in fact one of the most original aspects of his talent. The outstanding recordings presented in this boxed set of four CDs should help in banishing those long held prejudices.
The documentary that accompanies this boxed set should allow the curious music lover to explore Reynaldo Hahn's piano universe in great depth.

Abstract or description
Instances where men were the victims of female violence in the past are very difficult to explore, especially when the violence took place in a domestic setting. There is now a notable body of work on violence in the nineteenth century but none that looks specifically at male victims of violence where there was a female perpetrator, and their treatment by the courts. This article goes some way in filling that gap by using data collected in researching female offenders at the end of the nineteenth century in Stafford. It argues that, as with violence where there was a female victim and female perpetrator, the courts and the press were similarly unconcerned and somewhat dismissive of female violence towards men in a domestic setting, thus being unsympathetic towards male victims of female violence.

At Kono Store - we love mechanical keyboards. We work closely with keyboard engineering labs like Input Club and keyboard designers around the world. One of our founding members - Jacob Alexander (HaaTa) has the world's most extensive collection of historical keyboards and frequently gives talks about the future of human computer interaction.
In light of this expertise - we have assembled this large list of commonly asked questions about mechanical keyboards - all answered by our team of keyboard designers, engineers, and support team.
Keyboards that use a mechanical switch under each key are known as mechanical keyboards. There are a wide variety of mechanical switch designs that offer a distinctive feel or sound when pressed, generally identified by the color of the switch itself. Mechanical keyboards are preferred over less expensive "rubber dome" keyboards due to their longer lifespan, customization options, and increased performance in gaming and typing.
Not all mechanical keyboards are loud - though the especially clicky IBM Model M certainly helped to develop the noisy reputation. The most popular switch option for a mechanical keyboard is typically a quiet tactile variant - typically a Brown switch. Many factors in mechanical keyboard design can contribute to its overall noise - with steel plates and heavy keycaps often contributing quite a bit.
Which mechanical keyboard is best for gaming?
There is a commonly repeated myth that Linear mechanical (MX Red) switches are suited for gaming.This may stem from a misunderstanding about how switches actuate and an honest guess that less friction might allow for faster presses. In practice - most switches actuate roughly halfway down a keypress and being able to consistently hover and hold above the actuation point will result in better gaming performance. Special Speed switches that are similar to a hair trigger have been developed by Kaihua to actuate earlier and faster than other switches.
Are mechanical keyboards good for typing?
Mechanical keyboards are much better for typing than average keyboards as they do not require you to "bottom out" or press all the way down. Bottoming out results in the application of unnecessary stress on your joints and fingers. Mechanical keyboards typically only require a key to be pressed halfway to send a signal to your computer, allowing for quicker and easier typing.
Do laptops have mechanical keyboards?
Some laptops offer a low-travel mechanical switch using a "Butterfly" mechanism. These switches are technically mechanical - however, most of the advantages provided in a standard mechanical keyboard are lost. Certain gaming brands have released fully mechanical laptop options - but there is more innovation needed before this is a standard option.
Which Cherry MX switch is best for gaming?
Cherry MX offers one variety of Speed switch - Cherry MX Speed Silver Mechanical Switches. These are a linear option with a shorter actuation and are specifically designed for rapid keypresses. For more variety in Speed switches - Kaihua also produces four varieties - Gold, Bronze, Copper, and Silver (Available at Novelkeys). Switches produced by keyboard enthusiast brand ZealPC are also excellent for gaming due to their extremely smooth tactility.
Do mechanical keyboards last longer?
Cherry MX Mechanical switches are typically rated for 50 million keypresses, which under heavy use can last between 10 and 15 years. The average rubber dome keyboard is rated for around 5 million keypresses, which can last for one to two years under heavy use. Large keyboard companies like Logitech, Razer, and Kaihua have released mechanical switches that can last more than 80 million presses. Older, vintage keyboards that make use of Hall Effect technology can be rated for many 1 billion keypresses.
Which mechanical keyboard switch is best?
Certain design features can make a mechanical keyboard switch bad, but in practice no single switch variety is best. Human finger size and muscle density is incredibly variable, as are preferences for how firm or soft a keypress "should" be. Read below for a list of keyswitch manufacturers and designers that are producing quality products.

Many ICAEW members are employers who pay the apprenticeship levy, and I wanted to remind you that, for those in England, funds from the levy will begin to expire from May 2019.
Unused funds expire after 24 months – so if you began paying the levy in April 2017, you now have just over three months to spend your payments on apprenticeship training before they are reclaimed by the Government.
However, it also means you still have time to make the most of your funds and use them for ACA training by investing in an apprenticeship with ICAEW. You can train new or existing staff of any age, regardless of their educational background.
Please note that apprenticeships are a devolved policy. This means that authorities in each of the UK nations manage their own apprenticeship programmes, including how funding is spent on apprenticeship training. This 24-month expiration only applies to the funding system in England.
Apprenticeships can add significant value to your business and are a fantastic way of offering cost-effective training. They can increase productivity, reduce recruitment costs and increase your business's skillset.
Specifically, accounting apprenticeships with ICAEW can strengthen your finance function, support succession planning and help with staff retention. They offer a holistic approach to staff development, combining an ICAEW qualification with work experience and skills training. The structure and content of the skills training is also flexible, allowing you to personalise it according to your organisation's needs.
Apprenticeships are fast-becoming the most popular ACA training route among employers in the UK – whether in practice, business or the public sector. ICAEW offers two apprenticeship programmes in finance and accountancy, both designed to help your business grow by setting your staff well on their way to becoming fully-qualified chartered accountants or ICAEW Business and Finance Professionals (BFP).
Our apprenticeship programmes cover all or some of the modules of our prestigious and globally-recognised ACA qualification. Technology, ethics and critical thinking are embedded throughout, and part of the ACA can be tailored to focus on a specific area relevant to your organisation - from taxation to banking and business planning.
A dedicated member of the ICAEW Business Development team will support you every step of the way and you will gain access to a number of great benefits.
To find out more please visit icaew.com/growyourbusiness or contact the ICAEW Business Development team at bds@icaew.com or on 01908 248094.
In any event, I highly recommend employers in England take advantage of their funds before they are reclaimed in May.

Antarctica, Argentina
Polar, Wildlife
GQMAC
Min 1, Max 200
The festive season is one of the most active times for wildlife and there are plenty of opportunities to see penguins, seals and whales under the midnight sun with our expert polar team leading the way.
Freezing is great but freedom is better. Customise your trip with a wide range of optional activities on top of regular Zodiac excursions. Explore the water by kayak, sign up for a photography masterclass, rejuvenate with some onboard yoga and a massage, take a refreshing polar plunge or camp overnight like a true polar explorer.
Whereas most polar expeditions of this kind have a crew-to-passenger ratio of ten, fifteen or twenty to one, Intrepid expeditions on the Ocean Endeavour have an expedition crew member for every 8 passengers for a greater personal touch.
Our experienced leaders have made hundreds of polar voyages between them. They're experts in marine biology, glaciology and Antarctic history, and they'll share their knowledge throughout the journey during a comprehensive lecture program.
Rest assured that footprints are all you'll leave behind. Your Antarctica expedition is carbon offset, and we serve only sustainably sourced seafood, avoid single-use plastics and use biodegradable and phosphate-free cleaning products.
Travelling solo? This is your perfect Antarctic adventure, with single cabins at the same price as some twins.
Although our ice-strengthened ships are big and sturdy, the Antarctic waters can be unpredictable and rough. Some people may experience seasickness, especially through the Drake Passage and other open water crossings, so please be prepared with medications to combat this – we'd hate for you to miss a single minute of this journey. There is also a doctor on board should you need further assistance.
Believe it or not, temperatures in the Antarctic can be freezing. And yet it can get surprisingly warm when the sun comes out, for instance, or with increased physical activity. It's best to dress in layers when you journey outside and we'll provide you with waterproof boots that are sturdy, warm and highly fashionable (in Antarctica, at least). Please see the trip notes for information about what to bring.
Depending on the weather, you'll be zipping around in a Zodiac boat quite regularly to explore the area and search for wildlife. It can get very cold and wet on the Zodiac, so make sure you dress appropriately and keep your camera safe and dry. Being cold and miserable is one thing, having no photos to show for it is another. Sturdy sea legs are needed for wet and dry landings from the boat, as well as on steep terrain, snow and other uneven surfaces. The Ocean Endeavour has a lift, but you'll need to take the stairs to get to the gangway and some other parts of the ship that the lift does not provide access to.
The weather plays a pivotal part in this adventure, and although there's an itinerary in place, there are no guarantees that you'll be able to do everything that is planned for. A level of flexibility and openness to embracing the unexpected are important in expedition travel, especially in such a remote area. There are nearly 200 recognised sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands; the places mentioned in the itinerary may need to be changed to others (which are equally as interesting). We may also be confined to the ship during rough weather. The ship's library and educational lectures are ideal ways to stay entertained, while the wellness spa, saunas, gym and yoga classes will keep you fresh for when the weather clears.
Ocean Endeavour 2020/21
The Ocean Endeavour is a far cry from the expedition vessels of old and, just quietly, we're tipping it's the place be in the 2020 Antarctic season.
Day 1: Ushuaia
Your Christmas trip begins in Ushuaia, about as far as you can get from Santa without joining an Antarctic expedition – luckily that's exactly what's going on. You'll be transferred from the airport to the hotel to meet your fellow travellers, but if you arrive early we highly recommend checking out the area. Tierra del Fuego National Park can be visited on a day trip if you have time, otherwise Ushuaia itself has got a bit of a vibe about it. Check out the Museo Maritimo for a history lesson or maybe just take a stroll down Avenida San Martin to do pick up some last-minute essentials for the journey.
Day 2: Ushuaia – Embarkation Day
This afternoon you'll be transferred to the city's port to board the Ocean Endeavour. After meeting your fellow passengers and settling into your cabin, begin the journey by cruising through the famed Beagle Channel. Enjoy the incredible views as the last glimpse of land fades away and the ship heads south towards Antarctica.
Days 3-4: Drake Passage
The waters of the Drake Passage are legendary. Named for Sir Frances Drake, an English seafarer, they're notoriously rough but luckily the Ocean Endeavour is a far cry from the vessels of old. The journey will take two days and if conditions allow, you'll be able to enjoy the outer deck to catch your first glimpse of dolphins, whales and orcas, as well as seabirds including the iconic albatross. It's no bad thing if the weather is misbehaving as a comprehensive lecture program will get under way, with polar experts sharing some fascinating insights into Antarctica's history, geology, biology and everything else in-between. The Ocean Endeavour is also equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including a gym, sauna and library. We're scheduled to reach the Antarctic Peninsula by early evening on Day 4, which will be a moment of great excitement.
Days 5-7: Antarctic Peninsula
Welcome to the Antarctic Peninsula, where a vast amount of wildlife can be found with a backdrop of ice, water and mountains. The sheer scale of everything must be seen to be believed. Scheduled twice daily, excursions are tailored to suit the ship's location. Zodiac rides allow for closer encounters with marine life including whales and seals, while onshore exploration might take you to penguin rookeries or on an optional activity such as snowshoeing, kayaking and overnight camping (these must be booked prior to departure). The lecture program will continue throughout your time at the peninsula and the team of experts will be available to answer any questions you may have about the region.The landing sites visited will depend on the ship's location and weather conditions, but for information on potential landing sites please visit: https://www.intrepidtravel.com/au/antarctica-landing-sites
If an excursion is deemed unsafe due to weather conditions, the crew will arrange for alternative activities on the shop. These might include wildlife presentations and documentary screenings, or you can make the most of the wellness spa, heated pool and other facilities.
Day 8: Christmas in Antarctica
If you've been dreaming of a white Christmas, this is as white as it gets. Has Santa made it from the North Pole to the South Pole? It's time to find out. Enjoy the festive spirit on board the ship, with your presents coming in the form of yet more landings and wildlife sightings throughout the day. These wildlife encounters are likely to include Weddell, crabeater and leopard seals; gentoo, Adelie and chinstrap penguins, and elephant seals.
Days 9-10: Drake Passage
Leave Antarctica behind and cruise north to Ushuaia. Now is the time to reflect on the amazing journey and a truly unique Christmas. We're scheduled to reach the waters of the Beagle Channel by the evening to ensure a restful night's sleep before departure day. Our final meal together is often a highlight, so live it up and enjoy as you celebrate the journey with your fellow travellers.
Day 11: Ushuaia
This morning you'll disembark the ship after breakfast and your journey comes to an end. Transfer to the airport is included for flights departing today, but if you're sticking around a little longer than there is so much to see in this incredible region. Adios!

The Collins Connection
In Sports January 8, 2003 Leave a Comment
By Joel Wass
Jodie Collins faces some big ballers while travelling with Ryerson's women's basketball team, but her toughest competition lies in her own backyard.
"My dad shows no mercy," says the 6-foot-1 forward when discussing her one-on-one basketball battles at home in Lindsay, Ont. with her father Doug, a former professional football player. "He never lets up against us. In one game he pushed my sister Krissy into the garage and ended up breaking her angle."
Her three sisters and one brother have picked up their share of accidental bumps and bruises in the paint with their 6-foot-4 father, but the youngest Collins says the worst injury she's ever suffered playing her old man was a "hurt ego."
"In a game to 11 I'll let [my kids] get to 10 before I turn it on," jokes the eldest Collins.
At 57, Collins' dominance on the court is surprising. However, his competitive nature is hardly shocking considering he's a former all-star offensive and defensive tackle for the now defunct Ottawa Rough Riders of the Canadian Football League.
"All my guy friends think it is the weirdest thing that he used to play in the CFL. It's kind of funny for me though, because I know all his stories and all the history, but I was never really there while he was playing," says the second-year Ram. She was born seven years after her father retired from the gridiron.
Collins says she's always been proud of her father, but never fully appreciated the size of his football fame until she attended his induction into the Windsor and Essex Hall of Fame four years ago.
"I had a name tag with my name on it and everybody was like: 'Collins! Wow!'" says the Ryerson Ram. "It was cool because all these people were telling stories and I felt like my dad was the man."
Collins' father was more than a man, he was a champion. Led by legendary CFL quarterback Russ Jackson, Collins won the Grey Cup three times during his term in the nation's capital.
His CFL paycheques may have been low, but Collins' championship runs came at a high price. From 1968 to 1975 he had five knee operations.
"I should have new knees, but I'm holding out for a new body," laughs Collins. The ability to find humour during adversity is a quality both father and daughter share.
"Jodie always lifts the spirit of the team whenever we're feeling down," says Rams captain Taeka Grizzle. "Off the court she definitely takes on a leadership role on our team."
Although she does not see the court as much as other Rams, Collins says she thrives in her role as the squad's unofficial motivational speaker. Prior to last Saturday's showdown against the University of Toronto, Collins took it upon herself to rev-up first-year teammate Stephanie Nelson.
"I made her yell in my face that she was the fastest girl out there," says Collins. "[The motivation] sounds funny, but I think it really helped her. I know it did."
Collins' father also tackled the position of athletic motivator while teaching at I. E. Weldon Secondary School as the football and basketball coach.
The former University of Cincinnati Bearcat even kept sports teams running while his fellow teachers protested against the Ontario Government refusing to provide any extra-curricular activities.
"I don't agree with work to rule, it screws the kids. I'm still a kid. Don't screw me," says Collins, a 280-pound adolescent during his playing days.
Collins has always had a love for sport, but never forced his children into athletics when they were growing up.
"My dad told me if [a sport] wasn't fun anymore to not play," says the radio and television arts student. "He definitely always wanted me to work hard when I was playing, but he never told me that I had to play."
The former CFLer says he'd have never thrown on the pads if he didn't enjoy football. He says success in sports should be measured in memories rather than victories.
"At my age now it doesn't really matter how good you were, what's really important are all the stories," says the retired special education teacher. "When you play with the same group of players for a long time you come up with some pretty funny stories."
Although the Windsor native is no longer a huge football follower, Collins does spend a huge amount of time watching the current generation of Collins in action.
"The greatest thing is to watch [my kids] play," says Collins. "But I also love to play [with] them. At Christmas time we still get together and go to the gym and shoot around." Luckily for his kids, Christmas was the only break at the Collins household over the holidays.

Q: Bash: how to redirect continuous output to text file but make lines unique? Ok, I have this line that outputs data to a text file.  The only issue is I need the lines to be unique.  So, if it is going to add a line that already exists how can I prevent that?  This is my script:
 tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2>/dev/null|grep -E 'A\?'|awk '{print $(NF-1)}' >> /tmp/domains

Do I pipe it go awk and somehow delete duplicates?  Do I have another script run everyone minute that removes duplicates?
Here is the output of loading up Amazon.com:

 ad.doubleclick.net.
 ad.doubleclick.net.
 ecx.images-amazon.com.
 ...more

And in looking at my output it looks like I need to figure out why there is a trailing dot.

A: You never need grep AND awk since awk can do anything grep can do so if you're using awk, just use awk:
tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2>/dev/null|
awk '/A\?/{ key=$(NF-1); if (!seen[key]++) print key }' > /tmp/domains

If you ever need to stop this script and restart it but only append new domains to the output file, you just need to read the output file first to populate the "seen" array, e.g.:
tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2>/dev/null|
awk -v outfile="/tmp/domains" '
    BEGIN{
        while ( (getline key < outfile) > 0 )
            seen[key]++
        close(outfile)
    }
    /A\?/{ key=$(NF-1); if (!seen[key]++) print key >> outfile }
'

A: This will print out only unseen input lines as they come in, rather than at the end like some other duplicate removing awk scripts posted.
awk '{host=$(NF-1)} !(host in list) {print host; list[host]++}'

If you only want to run the whole thing periodically and update the list, it may be easier to do something like
tcpdump and extract hostnames | sort -u /tmp/domains - > /tmp/domains.new
mv /tmp/domains.new /tmp/domains

A: Change this
tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2>/dev/null|grep -E 'A\?'|awk '{print $(NF-1)}'

To:
tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2>/dev/null|grep -E 'A\?'|awk '{a[$(NF-1)]++}END{for(i in a)print i}'

A: Hrmm, do you need a list of domains (unique)? Or do you need the whole line?
You could try using the whole line as a key in the awk array, but the timestamps will be different, and packetsizes, etc.
gawk 'BEGIN{count=0} {arr[$0]=$(NF-1); if (length(arr) > count) { count++; print $0 )}'domain

though likely more useful to you is lines for each domain...
gawk '{ domain = $(NF-1); arr[ domain ] = $0 ;}
    END {  for (entry in arr) print "domain:",entry, arr[entry]} '

some output would have been useful to see.
ok, I see the output now,
Domains MUST end in a dot Good Luck!!
ps. use this one
cmd | gawk 'BEGIN{ count = 0 } {
             arr[ $0 ] = $(NF-1);
             if (length(arr) > count) {
                 count++;
                 print $0
             }
      }'

as it continuously adds new domains to the output. Better to not lookup domains and use ips instead...
replace $(NF-1) with |& host -t A domain  or so

see Advanced Features :: Two-Way pipelines in the gawk info pages 'info gawk'
For it to be useful you need to insert the new domains into a sorted list. While I don't suggest using ncurses for this, piping the output to a java program that shows the data in a single, sorted table would be not too hard...

A: Unless you plan on running this for a long time or have a very busy site, you could ensure uniqueness by saving previous lookups to an awk hash. This works here:
tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2> /dev/null | grep -E 'A\?' | awk '!h[$(NF-1)]++ { print $(NF-1) }' > /tmp/domains

Otherwise, you need to save chunks of the tcpdump/grep output to a temporary file and merge it with /tmp/domains. The best way I know is to keep the output sorted individually and then do a unique merge-sort with sort -mu. This works here:
lim=10000
tmpfile=$(mktemp /tmp/unique.domain.XXXXXX)
unique_domains=/tmp/domains

tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2> /dev/null | grep -E 'A\?' | while read line; do
  awk -v lim=$lim '!h[$(NF-1)]++ { print $(NF-1); ndomain++ }; ndomain > lim { exit }' | sort > $tmpfile
  sort -mu $tmpfile $unique_domains 2> /dev/null > $unique_domains.tmp
  mv $unique_domains.tmp $unique_domains
done

If you want to access /tmp/domain while this is running you need to add some file locking, for example with lockfile:
lim=10000
lock=/tmp/domains.lock
tmpfile=$(mktemp /tmp/unique.domain.XXXXXX)
unique_domains=/tmp/domains

tcpdump -lvi any "udp port 53" 2> /dev/null | grep -E 'A\?' | while read line; do
  awk -v lim=$lim '!h[$(NF-1)]++ { print $(NF-1); ndomain++ }; ndomain > lim { exit }' | sort > $tmpfile
  lockfile $lock
  sort -mu $tmpfile $unique_domains 2> /dev/null > $unique_domains.tmp
  mv $unique_domains.tmp $unique_domains
  rm $lock
done

Now to get a snapshot of /tmp/domains you would do something like this:
lockfile /tmp/domains.lock
cp /tmp/domains unique_domains
sync
rm -f /tmp/domains.lock

A: Answer:
Here is a solution using a pipe to the bash function
checkDuplicates() {
    touch -- "$1" # Where $1 is a file that holds the data. It could be the same file that you write to or any other one.
    while read -r nextCheck; do
        grep -q -m 1 "$nextCheck" "$1" || printf "%s\n" "$nextCheck"
    done
}

myFile='/tmp/domains'
YOURANYCOMMAND | checkDuplicates "$myFile" > "$myFile"

Bonus trick:
This could be useful for the case when you want to see a difference between two files. For example:
fileA:
what
is
this

fileB:
what
I
is
dont
this
even

Then this code
cat 'fileB' | checkDuplicates 'fileA'

Is going to output
I
Dont
Even

K.A.S. Murshid on The Odds Revisited: Overcoming Underdevelopment - Lessons from the Bangladesh Journey
WIDER webinar, 24 May 2022
K. A. S. Murshid joins WIDER Webinar Series to investigate ways to overcome vulnerabilities through the example of the Bangladesh development story. The webinar will be joined by Darlene K. Mutalemwa as a discussant.
The event will be chaired by UNU-WIDER Senior Research Fellow Rachel Gisselquist.

The Odds Revisited: Overcoming Underdevelopment – Lessons from the Bangladesh Journey
Bangladesh has been highly praised for its development performance across many sectors and indicators — for its record on sustained growth, poverty reduction, gender equality, nutrition, education of girls, and maternal and infant mortality. Its performance has been exceptional in comparison with not just South Asia but globally.
The Bangladesh journey, however, was not easy. It was a product of policy, donor money and induced engagement with the neo-liberal agenda, the push from NGOs, technology, markets, and change convergences. Most critically, however, there was an overwhelming response from private stakeholders, i.e. the people themselves – women, girls and men who were able to thwart the influence of 'local power elites', the opposition of 'fundamentalist Islam' to modernization, or of deeply entrenched patriarchy, and circumvent 'urban bias', defeat the large-farmer dominated political economy bias, and overcome constraints from a backward, 'semi-feudal agrarian structure' characterized by deep poverty and illiteracy to deliver outstanding outcomes.
K. A. S. Murshid's upcoming book The Odds Revisited – The Political Economy of the Development of Bangladesh provides (a) a thorough and comprehensive review of development outcomes, including a fresh perspective on the 'initial conditions', (b) New analyses and interpretations of the development process, and (c) provides new research material that focuses on aspects that are rarely investigated, including the meteoric rise of a capitalist class and a new middle class; a re-examination of the rural development record, and explaining industrialization dynamics going beyond the oft-repeated achievements of Bangladesh in ready-made garments exports.
Further, the book locates Bangladesh in the context of broader economic trends in South and East Asia. Using a selection of materials from this book, K.A.S. Murshid presents in the webinar the conditions, stakeholders and occurrences that ushered in a series of favourable outcomes, defying deep-rooted pessimism and dire predictions. Bangladesh's journey is a story underlying these outcomes that must be unearthed to understand deeper causal relationships that might help to go beyond narratives in the hope of extracting generalizable lessons.

Govt. should understand the message given by Uni students: Omalpe Sobitha Thero
Ven. Dr. Omalpe Sobhitha Thero says the government should understand the message displayed recently by the graduates of the University of Colombo.
Speaking to reporters in Embilipitiya, he said that the steps taken by the academics receiving their degrees during a convocation ceremony at the Colombo University is being praised by the intelligent people as an extremely exemplary and noble deed.
He said that through their action the academics of the university have well demonstrated the courage and self-respect as academics, scholars and intellectuals.
"We saw that the process of justifiably and theologically rejecting something they do not like was very successful. Please learn from this example, from this message."
"The government should understand this message."
Ven. Sobhitha Thero said that the government represents the position which has been subjected to insult and mockery and that the university academics are those who represent the people of the country.
He said that people were unable to say anything when top positions in institutions and chairmanships in corporations and boards were given based on personal and political connections, kinships and friendships.
However, the academics of the Colombo University have demonstrated the proper process for it, he said.

Ranunculus lyallii (Mountain buttercup, Mount Cook buttercup, or, although not a lily, Mount Cook lily), is a species of Ranunculus (buttercup), endemic to New Zealand, where it occurs in the South Island and on Stewart Island at altitudes of 700–1,500 m. R. lyallii is the largest species in the genus Ranunculus, growing over a meter in height.

The species was discovered by David Lyall, (1817–1895), a noted Scottish botanist and doctor.
Contemporary botanist Sir Joseph Hooker, (1817–1911), noted in his Flora Antarctica:
Among his many important botanical discoveries in this survey was that of the monarch of all buttercups, the gigantic white-flowered Ranunculus lyallii, the only known species with peltate leaves, the 'water-lily' of the New Zealand shepherds.--Joseph Dalton Hooker (1895) 33 Journal of Botany, p. 209.

It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing to 60–100 cm tall (the largest species of buttercup), with a stout rhizome. The leaves are glossy dark green, peltate, 15–40 cm diameter. The flowers are 5–8 cm diameter, with 10–20 white petals and numerous yellow stamens; flowering is from late spring to early summer.

Notable sites for the species include Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and in other alpine areas of including the area around Arthur's Pass.

The flower (termed Mount Cook lily in this usage) was the logo of Mount Cook Airline until replaced by Air New Zealand's koru symbol. Other companies connected with the airline used the same logo until the Mount Cook Group was disbanded in 1989. The iconic flower has featured on New Zealand Post stamps as early as 1936 and repeatedly in later decades as part of sets relating to conservation and scenery.

Molson Coors' packaging is 99% sustainable, company says in latest 'Our Imprint' report
By Alex Parker, 16 July, 2020
Pick up a six-pack of Coors Light in Ontario, and you may hold in your hand the future of packaging.
As part of an ongoing pilot program, the beer brand is held together by RingCycles™, plastic rings that contain more than 50% recycled content. Manufactured by Itasca, Illinois-based Hi-Cone, the rings are just one of the ways Molson Coors Beverage Co. is reducing waste and increasing its use of sustainable elements in its supply chain and packaging – which is now 99% reusable or recyclable, according to its newly released "Our Imprint 2020 Report."
With labels that encourage consumers to recycle the packaging, RingCycles™ offer legal-age drinkers a clear way to address one of the more bedeviling parts of consumer-packaged goods. For Molson Coors, the first beverage company in North America to use RingCycles™, they offer an opportunity to educate consumers on what's possible with their waste, while reducing its overall carbon footprint with a more sustainable package that can be sent back to Hi-Cone to be recycled and made into a new product again.
"Packaging is something that consumers see. When they pick up a six-pack of Coors Light, the packaging helps represent our company. It's a visual manifestation of what we're all about," says Natalie Lau, corporate responsibility manager for Molson Coors. "But we're also making sure we are perpetuating and promoting the circular economy. That's why we feel it's important to continue using recycled plastic content where we can."
Amid rising concerns about climate change, there is a growing awareness of the damage plastic does to the environment. From an aesthetic point of view, discarded plastic mars landscapes. From an environmental perspective, the problem is much worse. The indelible images of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, coupled with new studies showing how plastics harm the ocean food chain and contribute to damaging greenhouse gases, has corporations like Molson Coors seeking solutions to reduce waste and emissions, while positively contributing to the environment and their communities.
With the release of Molson Coors' "Our Imprint 2020 Report," the company notes significant progress on its Our Imprint 2025 goals, which range from offering more responsible drinking programs to implementing sustainable solutions across its production lines and supply chains. In 2017, the company set ambitious sustainability goals to guide its efforts to 2025, targeting the most pressing issues impacting the beverage industry.
"The Our Imprint 2025 goals encourage us to address the challenges that we see in the world, to meet the expectations of our stakeholders and to build long-term, sustainable value for our business," Lau says.
The new report shows Molson Coors is making strides in its use of water, waste reduction, sustainable agriculture, and most pressing, responsible packaging, with more than 99% of its packaging now reusable, recyclable or compostable. The company's work in 2019 made significant headway in meeting its 2025 goals, most notably in its efforts to reduce waste and emissions with its packaging.
The results with RingCycles™ in Canada have been encouraging, and the company plans on to roll them out more broadly in the U.S. and Canada next year, Lau says, which will get Molson Coors closer to meeting its 2025 goal of having at least 30% recycled content in its consumer-facing plastic.
"You'll find we'll be hitting 30% very soon," Lau says. "Right now, we're working with our suppliers to evaluate other plastic components, like PET bottles and shrink wrap. We're looking at all our plastic packaging that is consumer facing, including increasing recycled content in our PET bottles to 25%.
It's not just the mothership that's walking the walk when it comes to sustainability. Breweries that are part of Molson Coors' craft portfolio have embedded sustainable practices into their everyday operations, as well.
Georgia's Terrapin Beer Company, for instance, has the largest solar array of any craft brewery in the state, allowing it to brew beer that is 100% powered by the sun. The solar panels are projected to offset up to 339 tons of carbon dioxide annually and nearly 30% of Terrapin's energy use.
"Every decision we make the brewery has an effect, and we continue to look for opportunities to be better," says Dustin Watts, Terrapin's president. "A lot of people make beer, and these days a lot of people make good beer. We want to stand for something bigger than beer."
That ethos is shared by Canada's Creemore Springs Brewery, where sustainability has been a key part of its brewing ingredients and operations since its founding.
"Sustainability has been a cornerstone platform at the brewery since we began in 1987, whether we knew it or not," says Stephanie McLarty, brand manager at Creemore Springs. The brewery sourced local ingredients and looked for ways to repurpose them, such as donating spent grain to local farmers for use as livestock feed. Its beer is brewed with spring water from a federally protected water source nearby.
Those practices remain today and continue to evolve, with perhaps the most visible aspect being a biodegradable six-pack ring that hold its Premium Lager. Made from 80% corrugated fiber, the packaging contains compostable organic materials that breaks down in days to weeks.
"The eco route is not always the easy route," McLarty says. "But it speaks to our founding mission to have quality in everything we do."
The challenge now for Molson Coors and other beverage makers is how to deploy the technology – which is oftentimes expensive – at scale. Beverage makers have invested millions into equipment over the years to meet industry standards. But making turnkey changes so the equipment produces, say, packaging with reduced plastic content is difficult.
Other questions need to be considered, too. Among them: Does green packaging stand up to stress? Will consumers be inspired or turned off packaging innovations? Will they care?
"Before we can flip the switch and implement this at scale, we're testing the waters to see what works best and what consumers like to see," Lau says. "We will continue to innovate and look forward to achieving a future where all materials can be reused, recycled or composted."

Mr Popularity
OR ELSE!!!
His numbers are getting worse:
Donald Trump will enter the White House next week as one of the most unpopular presidents in recent American history. And he will be pushing an agenda that most Americans don't support.
The latest numbers for Trump, beset this week by fresh reports of Russian efforts to boost his candidacy, are stark. A new poll from Gallup shows that just 44 percent of Americans approve of his presidential transition efforts while 51 percent disapprove. By contrast, 83 percent approved of President Barack Obama's transition in 2008. Even George W. Bush, who like Trump lost the popular vote, enjoyed a 61 percent approval rating of his transition as he prepared to enter the White House.
There is limited enthusiasm for Trump's Cabinet choices, with 52 percent saying they are average or better and 44 percent considering them below average or poor, according to Gallup. Only 10 percent viewed Obama's choices as average or poor.
A recent Pew survey found that 55 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Trump has done to explain his plans while 39 percent approve. The Pew poll said just 41 percent approve of Trump's Cabinet picks while 49 percent disapprove.
Trump himself has also seen his approval ratings slide again after a brief uptick following his surprise Electoral College win. A Quinnipiac poll out this week showed that just 37 percent of Americans approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president-elect to 51 percent who disapprove. The numbers are the reverse of Obama, who had a 55 percent approval rating in the poll.
Other readings for Trump in the poll also showed signs of serious trouble. A 53 percent majority said Trump is "not honest" and 62 percent that he is "not level-headed." On average, Trump has a 48.7 percent unfavorable rating among Americans to 42.7 percent favorable.
Trump's inauguration next Friday might improve these numbers if he can deliver a unifying speech and convince Americans that he has clear plans to spark economic growth and ease fears that he is a thin-skinned hot head prone to lashing out at even the slightest criticism. But major protests planned for the inaugural weekend could dampen some of these efforts and galvanize Trump's opposition.
Trump also faces a broader problem once he takes office. His priorities are not widely shared by the American public. A new poll conducted for Politico and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health found that the top three priorities for Trump voters are repealing and replacing Obamacare (85 percent), stopping future illegal immigration (78 percent) and major increases in defense spending (67 percent).
The numbers are much lower for the general public. Just 44 percent say repealing at replacing Obamacare should be a top priority while 38 percent say immigration and 43 percent say increased defense spending.
The most popularity priority for the general public at 49 percent — major government spending on infrastructure — is the least popular among Trump voters at 50 percent. There are also major differences on immigration in general. Fully 57 percent of Trump voters view undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. as a "very serious problem" compared with just 30 percent of the general public. The public at large is also much more inclined to support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants than are Trump voters.
On taxes, the poll found that "a majority of both the general public and Trump voters oppose lowering taxes on big businesses and upper-income Americans. … Only 39 percent of Trump voters and 22 percent of the general public believe corporate taxes should be lowered. Only 18 percent of Trump voters and 13 percent of the public think taxes on upper-income Americans should be lower." Trump's initial agenda includes major tax cuts for both individuals and corporations.
Trump and the Republican Congress will also be on very dangerous ground making repeal of the Affordable Care Act — without an immediate replacement that ensures people are not deprived of existing coverage — their first agenda item.
For the moment, Trump's deep unpopularity does not appear to be a problem for him with the Republican Congress. The president-elect remains popular with an aggressive base that delivered him an Electoral College win even as he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Most Republicans on Capitol Hill live in fear of crossing Trump and angering his supporters.
That last is important. His base is a bunch of uninformed, angry white men and the women who love them. Nothing he does matters except sticking it to the people they resent. And that's everyone but people like them. And they pretty much resent them too.
And anyway, this is nothing a good war won't fix, amirite? USA! USA! USA!

Imagine a system of government where important issues are voted on, but once that vote is done, the issue can never be revisited. Imagine a situation where if the Nationalist Social British Worker's Party is voted into power, it can never be voted out again.
Imagine a situation where the electorate, once it has spoken, is not allowed to change its mind when the situation changes, or they discover that things are not happening as promised.
Imagine that, when some people who want to change things, are told "No, we voted on that years ago, so it has to be like that from now on."
And then imagine how it feels when, people who want change and are willing to have a democratic vote for change, are told "No, we had a vote on that once before, so we can't have a vote again, even though we have now found information that has led us to change our minds"
When the General Election happens (probably in the next few months), I will be voting Liberal Democrat. I haven't forgotten their past incompetence, but that is insignificant compared to the appalling mess that is Tory, Labour, UKIP or Brexit. Because they've found a way out of the mess that those parties got us into, and the way out is simple.
Revoke article 50. End the nightmare of Brexit, and we can dump the way that one single issue has dominated politics to the exclusion of all other issues, and get back to tackling all the other issues in this country.
A wanker like you would revoke article 50 Few people know Jo Swinsons husband is director of Transparency international who in 2018 received £4 million pounds from the European commission. No wonder she wants to REMAIN but them again £4 million is FUCK ALL to you is it SOLLY !
drsolly 15 October 2019 at 00:28
Are you a representative sample of the Brexiters?
17.4 Million people we WIN You loose if you don't like it best you fuck off to Israel and get them to take our place in the EU, after all they enter the Eurovision song contest each year ......but never contribute to the cost of it just like most of the countries in the EU

Lent & Easter Readings from Iona
Lent is traditionally a time of repentance and penitence but it also offers an opportunity to see the world afresh, with a new sense of wonder. These readings encourage us not only to regard ourselves with a healthy realism, so that we can accept responsibility for our shortcomings, but also recognise the nature and purposes of God and the never-ending renewal of possibility, both within ourselves and in the world.
The Risen Dust
Poems and stories of passion & resurrection
Rachel Mann
Powerful and moving readings, stories and poems for Easter.
The accounts of scapegoating, of power and violence and hope found in the gospels will always be current and significant. The story of Jesus Christ and of those who surrounded him remains a defining narrative of our time.
Using artistic and theological licence, Rachel Mann writes with the voices of the characters involved in the biblical accounts of passion and resurrection – unafraid to explore the darkest aspects evoked by these events.
Rachel Mann is an Anglican parish priest and writer. She is Resident Poet at Manchester Cathedral and her work has been widely published in magazines, anthologies, newsprint and a previous book, Dazzling Darkness.

A Take-Away restaurant needs a fast and easy to use POS system. As POS system, a tablet or a touch screen pc can be used.
SmartCafe Light is perfect solution for this use case.
A small cafe or a bar need only one POS system. If a tablet is used, it also can be taken to the customer tables. If a kitchen printer is used, the bar keeper can immediately start mixing the drinks when the order is taken.
The kitchen printer can also be used to print the receipts - this way you can reduce the hardware costs.
The orders are taken at a stationary POS system. The orders are directly printed on the kitchen printer and all orders are fast and traceable printed in the kitchen.
A restaurant with a sunny terrace and a comfortable seating area for 150 people. In the rush hour tourists do not want to wait long their order. By using the kitchen printer for food and drinks, no time is wasted. Mobile tablets are used for taking the order which results in a short waiting time for the customers.


A 20-year-old woman first developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) at 11 years of age. At 17 years of age, she was hospitalized due to generalized seizure and diagnosed with encephalitis. Brain MRI revealed a FLAIR-hyperintense lesion in the unilateral cerebral cortex. At 18 years of age, serum anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody was detected. At 20 years of age, she was admitted to our hospital, diagnosed with multifocal disseminated encephalomyelitis (MDEM). MDEM has been observed in patients that are seropositive for the anti-MOG antibody. More recently, unilateral cerebral cortex encephalitis with epilepsy has also been reported in such patients. The co-occurrence of MDEM and cortical encephalitis in the same patient has important implications for the pathogenesis of anti-MOG antibody-associated autoimmune diseases.

El río El Pez es un río montañoso cuyo lugar de nacimiento lo constituye el monte Cerro Frío, en la villa cafetalera de La Peonía Los Almácigos, Santiago Rodríguez, en la República Dominicana.

Este río durante su recorrido por la sierra baña parajes y rincones de gran belleza paisajística natural, incluyendo manaclares, bosques montanos, cañones y desfiladeros enmarcados dentro del bosque montañoso húmedo.

Sus entornos montañosos poseen una gran importancia especialmente por la gran variedad de vida silvestre incluyendo plantas y aves que están en vías de extinción en otras zonas del país.

Numerosos saltos y cascadas en medio de una rica vegetación compuesta por altos ejemplares de la Palma serrana o Manacla, son uno de sus más singulares atractivos.La frescura del aire y la delicadeza de la madre naturaleza, junto a la suave melodía del Jilgüero de montana, especie endémica de la República Dominicana complementa la escenografía de dicho lugar.

Este río desemboca en el río Artibonito en el paraje ecoturístico El Naranjito, colonia agrícola enmarcada por un relieve montañoso donde crecen pinos y otras especies de la sierra del noroeste dominicano.
