Secret Room in UK Mansion Tied to King James I Assassination Attempt

Agile scientists equipped with 3D laser scanners have revealed the secrets of a hidden room, known as a "priest hole," in the tower of an English Tudor mansion linked to the failed "Gunpowder Plot" to assassinate King James I in 1605.
A new study reveals how the secret double room was constructed in the tower of a gatehouse at Coughton Court in Warwickshire, as a hiding place for priests during the anti-Catholic persecutions of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Catholic priests faced execution as traitors under the English laws of the time, and they were often tortured to reveal their accomplices, according to Christopher King, an assistant professor in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom, and one of the lead researchers of the study.

Despite being outlawed, many priests chose to travel around England in disguise and perform the banned Catholic ceremonies in secret, often at the country homes of wealthy Catholic families such as Coughton Court, he said.
The secret priest holes were ingeniously constructed inside walls and between floors, as places where a priest could hide from search parties while the family of the house pretended to go about their normal lives, King told Live Science. The priest hole at Coughton Court was rediscovered by later owners in the 1850s.
"We know that priests were hiding in these spaces for up to three days while people were searching the properties," he said, "and some of them are really very small, where the priest would be in quite an enclosed box-like space."

To learn more about how the priest hole was constructed and hidden from searchers, King and his colleagues used 3D laser scanning equipment to precisely map the secret chambers and determine their location in relation to the rest of the building and its grounds.
The composite images and 3D computer models generated from the laser scans show the chamber's "double-blind" construction, which was designed to fool searchers into thinking they had found an empty priest hole, King said.
"When they're searching, they think they've found the priest hole but it's empty, but actually the priest is hidden in the more concealed space beyond," he said. "And that's what happens at Coughton: there's one chamber under the floor in the turret of the tower, and then there is another trap door that goes through into a second space, which we assume is where the priest was actually hiding."

The restricted size of the priest hole presented a challenge for King and his colleague Lukasz Bonenberg, a geodesy and mapping specialist at the University of Nottingham's Geospatial Institute.
"They are quite narrow, probably about a meter [3.3 feet] across, and quite tall and thin. It was difficult to get the scanner in there, and Lukasz ended up spending a couple of hours down there with the equipment, basically because he's the skinniest," King said.
Gunpowder Plot
In 1605, Catholic resentment over England's anti-Catholic laws inspired the Gunpowder Plot, a conspiracy to assassinate King James I by blowing up the House of Lords at Westminster while the king and his government ministers were inside.
King explained that Coughton Court played a role in the plot when it was rented as a family home by Sir Everard Digby, who was one of the Catholic conspirators along with Robert Catesby, their leader, and Guy Fawkes, who became the most famous of the plotters.
On the date agreed by the plotters for the assassination, Nov. 5, 1605 — now commemorated as "Guy Fawkes Night" in the U.K., complete with bonfires and fireworks — a group of leading Catholic conspirators met at Coughton Court to wait for news of the attempt to kill the king. [
But when the messenger reported that the plot had been discovered and many of the plotters had been captured, the conspirators who had gathered at Coughton Court fled into the night. Most were captured and executed in the years that followed, King said.
Coughton Court is now owned by the heritage charity National Trust, which keeps most of the historic property open to the public, including the tower that contains the priest hole. But the tower itself is inaccessible to many people, King said.
"The scans and the fly-throughs that we've created will be really good for people who can't get up the stairs to the priest hole — you can stand in the courtyard with these images and it really helps you visualize where the space is," he said.
The initial study at Coughton Court was funded by Britain's National Lottery, and King now hopes to expand the research project by investigating other priest holes in historic houses in England. Around 30 are known to exist, but many are not open to the public and most are deliberately difficult to access, he said.
"That's really important from a public outreach point of view: making sure that visitors are aware of these spaces and their very interesting histories, and, hopefully, getting people interested in the stories associated with the buildings," King said.

Untitled Screen Caps. - Holly Lay.
Nine years ago, while perusing the internet, I started to look at the images that were on websites to accompany articles. I clicked on one that had a link to where it was shared from Flickr. I then realized most media came from amateur stock imagery, and often not imagery specifically taken for that purpose. I then decided to post my own self-portraits from My Photographic Diary, which is an ongoing project I started in 2009 documenting my everyday life. I became interested in seeing if my photographs would be used when putting them in the creative commons and various stock image websites. The amount of my photographs that began popping up on websites and books completely surprised me.
I obsessively started to archive their use by googling and doing reverse image searches. I found my portraits in several different languages all over the world. Some images were used more than others and the same image used for completely different subject matter. I fell victim to how poorly women are treated in the media. The variety of the articles and usage of my portraits shows the complexity of women's relationship to the media. It seems that a woman's image can be more easily manipulated and changed to fit a viewpoint and appropriated to the gaze of the author. Here is a small sample of the hundreds collected.

Q: TypeScript Interface only highlights single problem, not multiple This seems like a TypeScript bug, but I'm not 100% sure.
If you see the example below, I'm expecting two errors (in gameData, highlighted by comments) but TypeScript intellisense will only highlight one of them.
If you comment out either of them, the other will error, but never both of them.
Does anyone know if there's a reason for this? Or if it's a bug?
Demo on TypeScript playground
interface Saved {
  highScore?: number;
  levelsComplete?: number;
}

interface GameData {
  score: number;
  timeTaken?: number;
  saved?: Saved;
}

const gameData: GameData = {
  score: 0,
  timeTaken: 60,
  saved: [1, 2, 3], // this should error as it does not match Saved - if this is commented out, 'averageScore' now errors
  averageScore: 10, // this property doesn't exist on GameData and should also error
};

A: I'm not a typescript developer and have never contributed to typescript, but looking at the source code, I would not call it a bug per se, rather an implementation detail. Searching for has_no_properties_in_common error message in TS repository reveals that it is used in this file on line 17861 inside the isRelatedTo function. Now Object_literal_may_only_specify_known_properties error is found in this same file on line 18095 inside the hasExcessProperties function.
This suggests, that when checking for assignability, typescript first checks whether the types are related, which includes comparing their properties' types, then looks for the excess ones. Maybe one day this will be fixed, but it seems like it won't be very easy.

To cite or not to cite, that IS the question some students have as they attempt to answer written response questions. Some students also have difficulty understanding how to cite textual evidence or what should be included when they cite from the text.
Each year I explain the citing textual evidence process by sharing a scenario or story to help them make the connection. One of my favorite scenarios is to use a dialogue that involves them asking their parents' permission to go to the movies with their friends, attend a peer's house party, or go out on their first date. I continue by sharing with them that this process of asking permission involves a lot of discussion and/or debating. And, oftentimes, during this discussion/debate they must present evidence or arguments as to why they should attend a particular event or activity. At this point, most students have made some connection as to why it is important to present evidence to support a statement.
Once I've shared this or another scenario, I ease my students into understanding how the R.A.C.E.S. acronym for citing text evidence can be used to support a statement or written response questions. Labeling the citing text evidence process allows students to see the connection between the steps when answering evidence-based questions.
This Citing Text Evidence resource is a scaffold activity that will guide students through the citing text evidence process. It will give the students support on what should be included in the citing text evidence process.
The template or checklist provides support to ensure that the student includes each section of the task that consists of citing textual evidence.

Manila APEC Summit will be missed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. News circulated after Department of Foreign Affairs Laura del Rosario confirmed that Indonesian President Joko Widodo won't be able to make it to the meeting.
According to CNN Philippines, Indonesia will be represented by Trade Minister Thomas Lembong and Vice President Jusuf Kalla. The presence of the latter in the Manila APEC Summit was confirmed by Indonesian Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir to CNN Indonesia.
ABS CBN also noted that according to DFA Undersecretary Laura del Rosario, she was told by Indonesia that Widodo has some domestic concerns that need his attention.
"I got now a message from his senior officials that there are things in Jakarta that need some of his attention and also it's because he's coming from the G20 meeting in Turkey and then also – he also has to attend the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur. So, somehow, I think he decided to get that period in between to go home and to address some domestic concerns," del Rosario said.
On the other hand, Russia will be represented by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev in this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting. Reportedly, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the decision that Russia's PM will attend Manila APEC Summit was taken because Medvedev had a series of meetings planned in the region anyway.
The Manila APEC Summit will be held in from November 18 to 19.

Karim Nasr: I'm a musician specialized in historical double reeds, clarinets, and traverso. I also publish music facsimilies and build instruments.
Jennifer Thiessen: I choose musical situations for their creative and interesting natures when possible, focusing on historic music, new music, improvising and songwriting. My main instruments are viola and viola d'amore.
Karim Nasr: It's the one profession I'm truly proud of.
Jennifer Thiessen: I feel like music is my first language and I have to speak it. Doing it for a living is challenging, but since my second career choice is creative writing, you get an idea of what I'm working with here.
Jennifer Thiessen: An unhappy event that became happy: The first time I was getting ready to go play viola d'amore in public, there was a loud bang from my instrument case, and my tailpiece flew up by the tuning pegs, resulting in a mess of 14 tangled strings. Who you gonna call in a tail gut emergency? Louis Gaucher. He gracefully answered my Saturday evening call and agreed to help. I sat on a stool in his workshop in my concert clothes while he mindfully talked me through everything he was doing. Before I knew it, I was out the door in time and in good spirits. I'm grateful for that memory of him.
Karim Nasr: Unofficially we played an outdoor program of classical music where we had to compete with church bells. The church bells won.
Jennifer Thiessen: Our ensemble name for the first concert was Trio JFK, for our first names. Catchy, right? But Cénacle is better: it reflects our deep maturity and has nothing to do with American politics.
Karim Nasr: Music and I dated on and off for about 10 years but then we decided to settle down. 2 years later he popped the question and we've been happily married ever since. I listen to anything that drowns out the rats with wings, I mean, seagulls.
Jennifer Thiessen: I mostly listen to singer-songwriters, solo string music (viol, cello, viola, viola d'amore), and contemporary/experimental music. I like Garth Knox's creative use of the viola d'amore, David Lang's beautiful minimalist writing, am into most things Daniel Lanois produces, and have a soft spot for Buffy Saint-Marie, Joni Mitchel and EmmyLou Harris. Oh, and the original women of jazz: Ella Fitzgerald, Blossom Dearie and company.
Karim Nasr: Getting lost in Beijing before a nationally televised dress rehearsal.
Jennifer Thiessen: Playing the Kremlin in Moscow with La La La Human Steps. The local tech crew had a problem with our crew, and one of the ways they expressed this was turning off the main electricity switch at the exact time of our sound check ended, so we had to feel our way off the stage and out of the theatre in the dark.
Karim Nasr: I was 13, let loose in a 7-story Virgin megastore in London when I stumbled on a recording of Handel's Fireworks. I'd never have guessed my future teacher's face was the one I'd been looking at in the liner notes.
Jennifer Thiessen: I was studying theology (another story) in Winnipeg, and taking violin lessons on the side from Elizabeth Lupton Ens, who introduced me to historical repertoire, gesture and ornamentation. I always kept this interest and influence through my studies on modern violin and viola.
Karim Nasr: Hopefully, a sense of community to bridge the rift created by the older generations.
Jennifer Thiessen: A place for people with a common interest to put our heads together, instead of each reinventing the wheel in our own workshops.
Karim Nasr: A clean beach with decent surf.
Jennifer Thiessen: Near water, trees and wildlife. I moved to Verdun last year and go to the riverside paths whenever I can.
Karim Nasr: Any where with lots of food because I can't drink on an empty stomach, I'm a cheap date.
Jennifer Thiessen: Auprès de ma blonde, because it is magically never full, despite its good food. They also don't seem to mind the chaotic table-moving that happens when a big group tries to sit together.

With the contracting sector continuing to grow, it seems that the self-employment route has never been as popular as it is today.
It's easy to see why this is the case when you consider the numerous benefits that come with this way of working.
Be able to charge a daily or hourly rate much higher than a permanent employee in the same role. It's also worth pointing out that your individual skills and experience could result in your rates being even higher.
Claim back expenses that are made for the running of your business, which can then reduce your tax bill at the end of the tax year.

How can I become a programme director?
Transitioning to a management position such as this can be challenge, simply because it is such a big change from working in a developer role. If you are looking for a web developer position, we recommend you visit https://www.webdeveloperjobs.co.uk.
Although the definition of a programme director generally differs from role-to-role, you can usually expect to oversee the co-ordination and administration of all aspects of an ongoing programme – planning, organising, staffing and leading will be the skills needed in order to achieve such a role.
As mentioned, going to a programme director role can be quite daunting because it can be such a change from your previous experiences. This is where it can be really useful to try and work as a team leader first, that way you can start on the ladder leading you gradually to your dream job role.
Volunteering yourself in managing projects will only help to increase your experience and develop those all-important skills that you will need for the future.
A programme director will work with such a variety of people with diverse backgrounds and personalities. You need to ensure that you can connect with a wide range of people in order to communicate what you want and need from each individual you work with.
You will be expected to liaise with and persuade stakeholders, as well as lead and manage people so it is definitely worth getting started on those people management skills as soon as possible.
As you step further away from your previous roles, it's easy to feel the need to carry on helping in these areas, however, as you continue to progress in your career, you need to take a step back and learn to delegate tasks.
As discussed earlier, the role of a programme director is a busy one full of different tasks that will be going on at the same time, for example, you will need to oversee multiple projects and programmes that are taking place simultaneously, as well as ensuring everything runs as smoothly as possible with planning, organising and monitoring.
You will most definitely need to make sure that you have incredible multitasking skills, while at the same time managing keeping a level head and stress to a minimum.
Self-development is not only a useful tool for you, but will also ensure employers are aware of how committed you are to moving your way up and achieving your goals.
Look out for training courses that can be useful for developing the right skills needed to better yourself and increase your success.
You need to find what works for you and the type of manager you will become and the best way to do this is through experience.
By starting out as a team leader and then working your way up to project and then programme management, this will help you to discover your talents, as well as any weaknesses that you can then pinpoint and work on.

The PGA Tour released its revamped schedule for the 2019 season on Tuesday morning. The biggest takeaways are the Players Championship moving back to March, PGA Championship to May, and most importantly, the FedExCup Playoffs ending before football season begins.
The beginning portion of the schedule, including the wrap-around portion, looks basically the same through February. The Valero Texas Open has moved to the week before the Masters and the Houston Open and Greenbrier Classic are currently not on the schedule but are expected to be moving to the fall of the 2020 schedule. The RBC Canadian Open moving into the St. Jude Classic's spot ahead of the U.S. Open and the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, which is replacing the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone, will take place the week after The Open.
There are two new tour events next season: the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club and the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities.
It's also worth noting that the FedExCup Playoffs have been shortened from four events to three.


The Chinese authorities have increased surveillance, harassment and imprisonment of activists ahead of the country's 60th anniversary on 1 October to prevent them from raising human rights concerns that challenge the authorities' image of social harmony, Amnesty International said today.
Amnesty estimates that several hundred activists and dissidents are under various kinds of surveillance or house arrest and thousands of petitioners are being swept out of Beijing. The organisation continues to receive reports that petitioners – people presenting their cases directly to central authorities in Beijing when they haven't received redress locally - are being kept in "black jails" and other informal detention facilities outside Beijing.
"The Chinese government wants to celebrate the country's success while ensuring that no dissenting view or complaint is heard. As a result, what the Chinese government is highlighting is its own fear of giving the Chinese people a real voice to talk about the reality of their lives, good and bad.
In the past few weeks, the authorities have increased their surveillance of petitioners, human rights activists, religious practitioners and ethnic minorities to ensure that they do not raise human rights issues and complaints during the National Day celebrations.
On Friday 25 September, Chinese media reported that local authorities were told by the central government departments that manage petitioners - the State Bureau for Letters and Visits and the Public Security Bureau - that they should review their records and keep anyone who has filed a petition under local surveillance during this time period.
Beijing authorities regularly return petitioners forcibly to their hometowns before major events or celebrations as they believe petitioners would reflect badly on the country's international public image.
-Zeng Jinyan, wife of imprisoned human rights activists Hu Jia, was asked by authorities to leave Beijing on 25 September and not to return until after 10 October. Zeng Jinyan has been under tight surveillance since her husband was imprisoned in April 2008, effectively halting much of the couple's human rights work.
-On 23 September, police informed the lawyer of detained human rights activist Liu Xiaobo that his client had to remain in detention for further investigation of suspicion of "inciting subversion of state power". Liu Xiaobo was seized from his home in Beijing by the police on 8 December 2008, two days before he was due to launch Charter 08, a blueprint for legal and political reform in China.
-In mid September, several Beijing activists were forced to leave the city. They included former political prisoner and China Democratic Party member Gao Hongming, housing rights activist Wang Ling (who had been sent to a Re-education Through Labour camp during the 2008 Olympics) and pro-democracy activist Qi Zhiyong, who was left disabled from a gunshot injury during the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
-Since 22 September, Tian Qizhuang, a director of the Open Constitution Initiative (OCI), has not been seen by his family. On 24 September, he called his son explaining that he is under police surveillance and asking him to prepare some clothes for him. OCI Founder Xu Zhiyong remains under surveillance and the organisation's finance secretary Zhuang Lu has had only limited contact with her immediate family since her release on 23 August.
-Two dozen plain-clothed security forces have been stationed outside the home of Yuan Weijing, wife of imprisoned activist Chen Guangcheng. Her phone is also intermittently cut off. Together with Chen Guangcheng, Yuan Weijing defended the rights of people with disabilities and Women's rights's rightss rights's rights's rights's rights affected by abuses related to the enforcement of family planning policies in Linyi city, Shandong province.
-In Zhejiang province, several members of the banned China Democratic Party, including Zhu Zhengming, Zhu Yufu, Mao Qingxiang, and Hu Xiaoling have had police stationed in front of their homes to prevent them leaving.
-Earlier in September, China Democratic Party member Xie Changfa was sentenced to 13 years imprisonment on "subversion" charges in Hunan province. This is one of the longest sentences given to a human rights or political activist in recent years.
-Four female petitioners, Yang Xinmei, Li Suping, Wang Lina and Sun Li from the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region were detained in Beijing in late August. They were originally placed under 15 days' administrative detention and now have been sent to 2 years of Re-education Through Labour to prevent them from further petitioning over the National Day holiday. The Women's rights's rightss rights's rights's rights's rights were petitioning about several issues including land confiscation and miscarriages of justice.

Q: ImageProcessor.Plugins.WebP - Cannot load libwebp.dll I have implemented ImageProcessor in our CMS (.net Framework) to convert images to webp.
I works fine on development PC and on testserver with Windows Server 2017.
On our current production server with Windows Server 2012 i get an "Cannot load libwebp.dll" exception.
In some forums and on and https://imageprocessor.org/imageprocessor/plugins/webp/ I can read could be related to installation of Windows C++ Redistributable which includes MSVCR120.DLL.
Even though i follow all instructions i still get the exception "Cannot load libwebp.dll""
Can anyone give me an solution.


I'm such an awful person, it's better I'd be dead or far away from doing damage.
I'm such a different person than everybody else, I've hard time fitting in and I always struggle.
But yet again, different is not bad, different is good for the mass. I'm on the far side of a Gaussian distribution. We were always told the far side was better than the anonimity of the majority.
If nothing else, the few specimen that are out of the majority are at least good for biological (or sociological) diversity.
So I only need to find my place and use in this world.
If I don't find a use for me, my diversity is for nought.
If I do find my use, but don't do anything to be useful (like now), then I'm wasting my life. It will be taken from me (aka I'll get terminally ill).
I know I shouldn't be thinking in this way, but this line of thoughts pops up a lot. I'm acknowledging it here, but I I'll yet to think the way out.
Depression is like a call for acknowledgement, at least in a way, at least to me.
It's a cry for help. (By the way, we (I) hide it. So no one actually hears this cry.) Many times, I feel depression as a tantrum. I want someone to notice, someone to see me as I am, to stand beside me and to comfort me. I'm too proud to point it out. Or maybe I believe only if someone noticed by themselves, would it mean they care about me. Then when I notice what I'm doing, I start to hate myself for it.
Most of the time, people don't notice. This is the first fault in such my behaviour (using depression as a tool for getting attention). And again, one of the reasons I get depressed is not being independent. (Or, what came first, the chicken or the egg?) This is the second fault in my behaviour. I should start to learn to deal with my own problems. There's nobody to do it for me.
What am I now? Sad? Angry?
I'm mostly satisfied to have analysed this thought.
Not caring is also a suicidal state of mind.
Like this, one is drifting into a slow death of their mind. Sooner or later, one develops a terminal disease so the body could follow.


a form of SUBORDINATE LEGISLATION. They are cited by the year they are passed and by their number in the year. Non-publication is a defence. They are often accompanied by a useful but unofficial explanatory note.
To have the Statutory Instrument laid before Parliament is a tremendous achievement, having secured the support of 56 Local Authorities including all 19 of our constituent authorities.
The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will give powers to ministers to make delegated legislation once the bill becomes law, through the use of statutory instruments.
Given the widespread opposition to the changes and the strength of feeling from constituents and from students across the country, Labour has secured an Opposition Day Debate on the issue followed by a vote and an additional vote on a motion to annul the statutory instrument that would introduce these changes.
Moffat explained that the email states that there might be a possible loophole in the statutory instrument, the legislation which the British government wants to use to take away the winter fuel payment.
Lifting the two-hound restriction would not require new legislation but could be affected via a statutory instrument.
Many laws were enacted by means of Statutory Instrument, ensuring no or no real Parliamentary scrutiny.
Sources close to OT suggest that the changes, which have been brought in via a Statutory Instrument and are being sent to PCTs for implementation, are of minor technical detail.
44) The Statutory Instruments Act 1992 (Qld) provides that 'a rule' is a statutory instrument if the rule is made under an Act: ss 7(2)-(3).
The responses from the consultation will be fed into the statutory instrument and we are aware of concerns over food being held.
He added: "A statutory instrument introducing this change will be laid before Parliament by Christmas and will be subject to debate in both Houses soon after.
Under the new statutory instrument (amending that of 2006), towing, handling and lighterage (loading and unloading of a ship by means of boats) are to be carried now whether by a physical person of an Algerian nationality or an artificial person of an Algerian right benefiting from a concession (meeting the conditions of professional skills and the terms of the convention and specifications), whereas the previous instrument did not require the nationality of the operators.

On the Rick Perry lawsuit
I read with interest the Complaint filed by my friend Hugh Fain on behalf of the Rick Perry campaign, seeking relief from the campaign's failure to meet the statutory requirements contained in Va. Code 24.2-545 to get on the ballot for the Republican Presidential primary in Virginia.
It raises two claims, the first is that the residency requirement for petition "circulators" is unconstitutional as a violation of the First Amendment, based on Buckley v. American Constitional Law Foundation, 525 U.S. 182 (1999). The second is that the requirement of signatures from 10,000 qualified voters with at least 400 qualified voters from each congressional district in the Commonwealth is itself unconstitutional as a violation of the First Amendment. The Complaint seeks injunctive relief against the enforcement of these two requirements.
Interestingly, the lawsuit does not address any issue of "petition verification" by the Republican Party of the sufficiency of the signatures, most likely because the Complaint acknowledges that the Perry campaign presented only 6,000 signatures.
Regarding the alleged residency requirement for petition "circulators," or witnesses, this requirement is not in section 24.2-545, as pointed out here, and the Complaint says only that it appears on the petition form required for use by the State Board of Elections. Section 24.2-521 contains the residency requirement for petition witnesses for some offices, but does not reference presidential campaigns. This ambiguity creates a state law issue that would seem to be preliminary to the constitutional issue - does the residency requirement even apply to candidates seeking to run in a presidential primary?
The residency requirement for petition witnesses contained in section 24.2-506 to get on the ballot for general elections other than as a party nominee has been upheld in a series of lawsuits mostly brought by Libertarian candidates, but its current status is somewhat in doubt following the Fourth Circuit's decision in Lux v. Judd. In Lux, the Court observed that while the residency requirement was upheld by the Court in Libertarian Party of Virginia v. Davis, 766 F.2d 865 (4th Cir. 1985), the holding in Davis may have been overruled by the Supreme Court's subsequent decisions in Buckley and Meyer v. Grant, 486 U.S. 414 (1988). The Lux court remanded the case to Judge Hudson, to determine whether the statutory requirement could be valid under some rationale other than the one briefly stated by the Court in Davis - to ensure that the candidate had a minimum level of local support. Other rationales that would support a residency requirement are expressed in the dicta from the Buckley case, which suggests that a state might require the witnesses to the signing of petitions to be Virginia residents so that they could be subpoenaed if need be, as non-residents could not.

Travel Details: Bergamo: Classic Beauty!
The modern town of Bergamo is beautiful with carefully planned street layout where downtown offers the classic Italian charm. It's a calm, quiet town to enjoy walking around, at least at the downtown area, yet not one to feel lonely as lots of people walk by either by foot or in cars and mass transportations.
I have visited the town of Bergamo not once but twice on business in the last year, for four days each time that turned out to be anything but boring both times! I had the chance to explore downtown and discover numerous gorgeous corners. Bergamo is the perfect base to explore the area all around.
If you need to visit Milan quite often, there's no need of second thoughts. Bergamo offers train transportation to Milan every hour all day long from early morning to midnight. The tickets cost very little and the distance between Bergamo and Milan is around 50 kilometers, an hour train trip.
Reaching Milan you will be conveniently at the central train station that offers connection to all parts of the city, an ideal starting point.
While walking around Bergamo you will find beautiful classical buildings, charming squares, restaurants and coffee shops eager to offer you their delicacies as well as a few shops that locals claim to offer bargain prices, although I didn't check their word personally, unable to find the extra time for shopping on schedule.
No need to mention that once in Bergamo one should not miss to visit the "old town", a special place I plan to share my impressions about in the next posted article of mine.


Can we build a social network that serves users rather than advertisers?
Find out how Human Connection puts transparency and community first.
Today, open source software is far-reaching and has played a key role driving innovation in our digital economy. The world is undergoing radical change at a rapid pace. People in all parts of the world need a purpose-built, neutral, and transparent online platform to meet the challenges of our time.
And open principles might just be the way to get us there. What would happen if we married digital innovation with social innovation using open-focused thinking?
This question is at the heart of our work at Human Connection, a forward-thinking, Germany-based knowledge and action network with a mission to create a truly social network that serves the world. We're guided by the notion that human beings are inherently generous and sympathetic, and that they thrive on benevolent actions. But we haven't seen a social network that has fully supported our natural tendency towards helpfulness and cooperation to promote the common good. Human Connection aspires to be the platform that allows everyone to become an active changemaker.
In order to achieve the dream of a solution-oriented platform that enables people to take action around social causes by engaging with charities, community groups, and social change activists, Human Connection embraces open values as a vehicle for social innovation.
But our commitment to transparency extends beyond our development practices. In fact—when it comes to building a new kind of social network that promotes true connection and interaction between people who are passionate about changing the world for the better—making the source code available is just one step towards being transparent.
To facilitate open dialogue, the Human Connection team holds regular public meetings online. Here we answer questions, encourage suggestions, and respond to potential concerns. Our Meet The Team events are also recorded and made available to the public afterwards. By being fully transparent with our process, our source code, and our finances, we can protect ourselves against critics or other potential backlashes.
The commitment to transparency also means that all user contributions that shared publicly on Human Connection will be released under a Creative Commons license and can eventually be downloaded as a data pack. By making crowd knowledge available, especially in a decentralized way, we create the opportunity for social pluralism.
Guiding all of our organizational decisions is one question: "Does it serve the people and the greater good?" And we use the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a foundation for our value system. As we'll grow bigger, especially with our upcoming open beta launch, it's important for us to stay accountable to that mission. I'm even open to the idea of inviting the Chaos Computer Club or other hacker clubs to verify the integrity of our code and our actions by randomly checking into our platform.
When it comes to building a new kind of social network that promotes true connection and interaction between people who are passionate about changing the world for the better, making the source code available is just one step towards being transparent.
A collaborative, community-centered approach to programming the Human Connection platform is the foundation for an idea that extends beyond the practical applications of a social network. Our team is driven by finding an answer to the question: "What makes a social network truly social?"
A network that abandons the idea of a profit-driven algorithm serving advertisers instead of end-users can only thrive by turning to the process of peer production and collaboration. Organizations like Code Alliance and Code for America, for example, have demonstrated how technology can be created in an open source environment to benefit humanity and disrupt the status quo. Community-driven projects like the map-based reporting platform FixMyStreet or the Tasking Manager built for the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap initiative have embraced crowdsourcing as a way to move their mission forward.
Linking information to action was one key theme emerging from our research sessions. Current social networks leave users in the information stage. Student groups at both universities saw a need for an action-oriented component that serves our human instinct of working together to solve problems. So we built a "Can Do" function into our platform. It's one of the ways individuals can take action after reading about a certain topic. "Can Do's" are user-suggested activities in the "Take Action" area that everyone can implement.
The "Versus" function is another defining result. Where traditional social networks are limited to a comment function, our student groups saw the need for a more structured and useful way to engage in discussions and arguments. A "Versus" is a counter-argument to a public post that is displayed separately and provides an opportunity to highlight different opinions around an issue.
Today's social networks don't provide a lot of options to filter content. Research has shown that a filtering option by emotions can help us navigate the social space in accordance with our daily mood and potentially protect our emotional wellbeing by not displaying sad or upsetting posts on a day where we want to see uplifting content only.
Human Connection invites changemakers to collaborate on the development of a network with the potential to mobilize individuals and groups around the world to turn negative news into "Can Do's"—and participate in social innovation projects in conjunction with charities and non-profit organizations.

I love these sorts of initiatives. I love the idea of there being a full and open social network experience to replace the Facebooks, Twitters, etc. of the world. However the big thing I struggle to understand is the financing. It costs a lot of money to run that infrastructure and to pay the developers and management team. Where does the money come from? The FAQ says crowdfunding. The target for that is 1 million euros. That's probably less than a month of cloud capacity or development team members for a modest sized social network. What then is the mechanism for paying for these sorts of places? Would the old fashioned subscription models still work? Would it use ads but ones that aren't built on top of the user's data thus having far less efficacy and have far lower ad rates than on other social networks.
Likewise this network is concentrating on fully public knowledge development and transfer. What do people do for private data? Their favorite pictures, their personal thoughts they want to share with friends, etc. These are not what is being targeted by Human Connection, it seems, so is a more general question.
Thanks for your interest! Yes, financing will be critical and as Human Connection is growing we will need to make sure that our crowdfunding mechanism is solid. We currently encourage people to become recurring monthly donors with a goal to have 30,000 Euros per month as a base amount to fund the beta launch.
Regarding private data, also a very important aspect. We ensure private user data, including personal thoughts or content users categorized as private, will always remain private and never shared.
My perception is that today (June 2018) people have to spend money first to get a chance to get an authorization key to use - and have a first look - to the platform.
From my point of view, this will not work. Maybe 10 years ago this was standard procedures. Nowadays 30 days trial period is standard (and thery are many good and tested reasons to do so). People nowadays will just not pay for something they do not see first. Especially when it's a complex system like hc. Everybody needs time to explore such complexity hands on to make a decidions whether they are able and have the time to deal with it.
The other way is to go crowdfunding the crowdfunding way where not meeting the target means stopping the project!
Your approach is half, half. People have to buy in onto an idea that eventually might never meet the financial target. So all the risk is with the customer - not the entrepreneur.
I think it is REALLY important to talk and study to people who will touch the platform for their first time from an UX perspective. I feel, that you way how hc is currently handling first touch and inititial sign on will make people feel unconfortable and potentiall cheated - just because the hc sign up is so much different from what is standard today.
Kudos for the thoughts to treat people as people but not as addicts from which money is made.

ISL Media
Atrayo Bhattacharya
A report had emerged on Sunday claiming the Stallions were set to cease operations due to financial strains.
ISL outfit FC Pune City have released a statement announcing their intention to relocate and have also rubbished claims that the club is set to shut down.
Rocked by financial problems, the club have struggled to pay off the dues of their players and staff. Canadian striker Iain Hume and India international Ashique Kuruniyan had written letters to the All India Football Federation (AIFF) seeking the apex body's intervention in the matter.
The club in their statement released via Twitter addressed the situation saying, "FC Pune City is not winding up its operations" but is "looking at relocating to a new city".
On Sunday, a report by Goal had suggested that Hyderabad would see its first franchise in the Indian Super League. It is clear in the statement released that Wadhawan Sports Pvt Ltd, who own the club are not selling the outfit. Instead, they are looking for a partial stakeholder and are also in talks with potential investors.
The statement further adviced the contracted players that "all the financial obligations will be met as per the agreed schedule" and told them to contact the club management for any further queries.
This is an indication for ISL veteran striker Hume who had written to the AIFF about the non-payment of his wages. Days later, it was also reported that Indian forward Ashique Kuruniyan had joined the Canadian in contacting the apex body over the unpaid dues.

The Stallions also warned other clubs from tapping-up their players directly, without consulting the team management stating, "this is against the statutes put in place by FIFA."

Still, the future of the top players at the club like Kuruniyan, Vishal Kaith and even Adil Khan hangs in the balance, owing to the ongoing issues. It will be interesting to see how many core members of the team stay with the Stallions in the next season.
In these five years, the club have seen success in patches, making the playoffs only once and could only manage a seventh-placed finish last campaign. However, the late appointment of Phil Brown as head coach steadied the ship for the Pune-based franchise.

Twitter account that amplified D.C. video appears linked to California teacher
By Brandy Zadrozny and Ben Popken with NBC News U.S. News • Updated: 24/01/2019
Nicholas Sandmann, a Covington Catholic High School student wearing a Make America Great Again hat, looks at Native American tribal leader Nathan Phillips, as Phillips performs a song about strength and courage in Washington. - Copyright @ka_ya11
After an anonymous Twitter account amplified a viral video of high school boys in Make America Great Again hats and a Native American elder, there was an immediate outcry on social media. Even a few experts subscribed to an emerging theory: that the post was suspiciously similar to foreign misinformation campaigns during the 2016 election.
But it appears that the account, @2020fight, was run not by a foreign operative trying to fan America's political divisions but rather by a woman who described herself as a San Francisco Bay Area teacher and advocated liberal causes — and, to all appearances, did not expect to find herself at the center of a media firestorm.
The account, which had over 41,000 followers, was run by a woman who identified herself as "Talia" and used a fake profile photo, belonging to a Brazilian blogger and model. Talia tweeted criticism of President Donald Trump and also used the account to sell teaching materials.
Last Friday, @2020fight picked up a one-minute video showing a throng of Covington Catholic High School students, who traveled from Kentucky to Washington for the March for Life, chanting at Omaha Tribe elder Nathan Phillips as he beats his drum and sings, and added a provocative caption: "This MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protestor at the Indigenous Peoples March." The video spread rapidly and was seen by millions, but it soon faced criticism for lacking the full context of the encounter, which also involved several Black Hebrew Israelites shouting slurs at the students.
Questions soon emerged about the account. Following aninquiry by CNN about the fake profile photo, Twitter suspended @2020fight on Monday for violating its policy on fake accounts.
A spokesperson for Twitter declined to give a more specific reason for the account's removal but provided a statement: "Deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter Rules."
That language calls to mind the Russian disinformation campaign to influence the 2016 election. Information warfare expert Molly McKew told CNN the @2020fight account was part of a landscape, "where bad actors monitor us and appropriate content that fits their needs." It also raised concerns from Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., the Senate Intelligence Committee's top Democrat. Warner and the Democratic-controlled House Intelligence Committee have asked Twitter to look into the account further, according to a spokesman, as first reported by HuffPost.
But a source familiar with Twitter's internal investigation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to share information, says all signs point to @2020fight being a U.S. account.
Fake photo aside, the @2020fight account appears to belong to a real person: a California teacher who went by "Talia" on multiple social accounts. The now-removed Twitter account's bio contained a link to a seller profile on the website Teachers Pay Teachers, an online store where teachers buy and sell lesson plans and resources. Using the handle "Teaching in the Bay," Talia described herself as an "Upper elementary & middle school teacher from the Bay Area," and offered more than 100 worksheets and lesson plans. She attracted a few dozen followers and buyers who favorably rated her products.
A related Twitter account where she promoted her Teachers Pay Teachers account, @teachinbay, was also suspended by Twitter. A spokesperson for the platform declined to comment on that account, including when or why it was suspended.
On Wednesday afternoon, @2020fight deleted her Twitter account, seemingly after Twitter lifted her suspension. (Suspended accounts cannot be deleted.)
In May of 2017, Talia introduced herself on Teachers Pay Teachers' private forum, viewed by NBC News. "I'm a 5th grader [sic] teacher from the Bay Area, wrapping up my fourth year of teaching. Next year I'm transitioning up to middle school which is both exciting and super scary," she wrote.
The account known as Teaching in the Bay deleted its Teachers Paying Teachers account following a message from NBC News. Corresponding Pinterest and Instagram accounts are still live, but the account holder has not responded to requests for comment.
Alongside more popular political tweets criticizing Trump and pushing progressive causes like gun control, @2020fight used her account to promote her Teachers Paying Teachers products. "Add a little 70's flair in your life with these schedule cards. Great for the beginning of the year or homeschool!" she tweeted in April. She also asked questions about teaching.
"Is 8th grade too young to do a deep dive into the 'not great' Columbus history? We're up to that section in their textbook," she tweeted in September 2017.
Talia was also listed as an "influencer" on Shoutcart, an online marketplace that allows influencers to sell ads or sponsored content to brands. In that bio, she wrote, "I have a very high engagement account with a popular culture/politics profile. My audience is educated and in their 20s and 30s."
Talia posted on Twitter with an unusually high frequency, tweeting, retweeting or liking a post more than 200 times a day on average since starting the account in December 2016. The account sent more than 65,000 tweets in just over two years.
Those figures point to potential "inauthentic behavior," said Clint Watts, a former FBI special agent and MSNBC contributor who tracked Russian election interference at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. "She could have bought followers to spread her reach, had some sort of automation behind it to keep it going."
These are common tactics for influencers who use Twitter to turn a profit, but also bad actors.
"And then, boom," Watts said, "she tweets something controversial and is suddenly a source of misinformation in the United States."

NASCAR, iRacing.com Announce Official Partnership
Agreement will extend to working on virtual tracks, car projects and more
Posted On : June 29, 2021 By : Matt Traub
Denny Hamlin in the No. 11 FedEx Toyota and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the No. 8 FilterTime Chevrolet lead a pack of cars during the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series Dixie Vodka 150 at virtual Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, March 22, 2020.
NASCAR and iRacing.com have agreed to a new partnership that will grant the developer of PC-based racing simulations the title of "official simulation partner of NASCAR," elevating a relationship that had been classified previously as a licensing deal.
The partnership will allow the two groups to work closer on promoting various eNASCAR series that live on the iRacing platform while collaborating around a number of initiatives on the future of NASCAR. Those initiatives will include the design of new and proposed race tracks, collaboration and technical support on the NASCAR NextGen race car project, the creation of sim racing-oriented content for NASCAR Digital Media channels and the use of iRacing as a training tool for NASCAR's Drive for Diversity class.
"NASCAR fans know and love iRacing for their accomplishments in the development of virtual racing series, but what many may not realize is that the company is so much more than just an esports partner," said Tim Clark, NASCAR's senior vice president and chief digital officer. "iRacing is a full-on technology partner in every sense of the word, and their best-in-class simulation and engineering capabilities are helping us innovate across multiple layers of our business — whether that be in designing new race tracks, developing new race cars, creating compelling digital content, or providing a virtual training ground for the next generation of NASCAR stars."
iRacing has been a NASCAR licensee since 2010 and provided the platform for the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series, and also played a central role in the formation of the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series in 2020, a seven-race series which bridged the gap between events during the early stages of the pandemic and set records for the most viewed esports events in United States television history.
iRacing is currently assisting the sanctioning body around multiple race track and facility development projects. iRacing first collaborated with NASCAR on the reconfiguration of Auto Club Speedway into a half-mile short track in 2020, and later scanned the streets of Chicago in the fall to create a street circuit that debuted during an eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series event in June.
"NASCAR has been immensely supportive of iRacing over the past decade and a huge contributing factor in our growth as an organization," said iRacing President Tony Gardner. "From their world-class support of the eNASCAR Coca-Cola iRacing Series for more than a decade, to the explosion of new initiatives like Pro Invitational events and track development projects, NASCAR's assistance has helped iRacing remain at the forefront of the esports industry while also taking our organization to exciting new places. We're incredibly excited to extend our partnership, and look forward to continuing to evolve these efforts for years to come."

Greece Homes For Sale and Real Estate
DEMOCRAT & CHRONICLE / City	/ Greece Homes For Sale and Real Estate
Area Description
With a population of 96,095, the Town of Greece is larger than some cities in the state and just 1,000 residents behind Albany, the state capital. A contiguous Rochester suburb, Greece is as convenient as it is populated. While residents can be in downtown Rochester or alongside Lake Ontario in just 15 minutes, an abundance of restaurants and retail options combined with a wide range of recreation options mean they never have to leave town.
Do not confuse Greece with a sleepy suburban bedroom community, however. Greece stands on its own, as evidenced by its practice of opening the town board meeting with a prayer. Challenges to the practice went all the way to the United States Supreme Court, which ruled in 2014 in favor of the town.
Middle-class families, manufacturing, administrative, and service jobs.
Community and family oriented; active and healthy thanks to paths, trails, the Erie Canal recreational waterway and Lake Ontario.
The Mall at Greece Ridge, one of the largest shopping centers in the country, and the bike trail stretching from the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario.
Raising a family in affordable housing, outdoor activities, shopping.

Discover the wide range of homes in Greece, an active and growing community!
Around the Area
In spite of its many modern conveniences, Greece isn't a new "pop-up" suburb caused by urban sprawl. Instead, founded in 1822 on land formerly occupied by Native Americans and named after the Mediterranean country, Greece has a long history that contributes to its vibrancy today. In fact, four of the town's buildings are on the National Register of Historic Places.
Over time, Greece has become a manufacturing hub. It is home to part of what was once known as Kodak Park, the largest photographic product manufacturing plant in the world. As Kodak downsized, the tract transitioned to Eastman Business Park offering more than 10 million square feet of office and manufacturing space leased to dozens of other manufacturing concerns. Nearby Canal Ponds Business Park houses widely recognized companies that include IBM, Johnson & Johnson, and Performance Technologies. Private-label manufacturer LiDestri Food and Beverage also has a state-of-the-art plant in Greece. Rochester Regional Health, however, is the largest employer in town.
The town boasts more than 15 parks, including Braddock Bay Park, which is well-known among local bird-watchers. In addition, the district's acclaimed music education program provides residents with many homegrown entertainment opportunities. The Mall at Greece Ridge is one of the highest-volume shopping centers in the country. As a one-stop shopping center, it features traditional and discount department stores, big-box stores, and a range of specialty shops. Anchor stores include Macy's, Sears, JCPenney and Target.
Most of the town is served by the Greece Central School District, the largest suburban district in the county and the ninth-largest in the state. Parts are also served by the Spencerport and Hilton school districts. The Greece Central School District is ranked 28th in the greater Rochester area. Odyssey Academy is ranked 108th in the state according to U.S. News & World Report, but the district's other high schools aren't ranked. There are 11 elementary schools, two middle schools, two schools grades 6-12, and two high schools. There are also two private parochial schools.
Greece Athena High School was in the national spotlight for weeks in early 2006 when boys basketball team manager Jason "JMac" McElwain suited up for the last home game of the season. When his coach decided to let the autistic student play during the final four minutes, JMac stunned the crowd — and later, the nation — by sinking six three-pointers and one two-point shot.
