Purpose: The Recruiting of French Labour for Germany.
As the result of the conversations of 24th January, 1942, and after repeated appeals, the first draft of declarations of the French Government concerning recruiting was presented on the 27th; on the German side it was accepted with slight modifications and in written form on 3rd March, on the condition that attention should be directed, at the time of its transmission to the organisational committees, to the fact that the French Government approved expressly the acceptance of labour in Germany.
On 19th March it was recalled that a draft for a memorandum to the organisation committees should be submitted. The draft was afterwards submitted on 27th March. On the 30th March a proposal for modification was delivered to M. Terray, who should take it up with M. Bichelonne."
of the memorandum, it is requested that this document be edited anew and presented on 19th May.
For the Military Commandant, Chief of the Administrative Staff.
The Tribunal undoubtedly has observed that Dr. Michel demanded not only the circulation of a public declaration, but also required that the text of this statement be officially transmitted to the organisational committees. The pressure which occupation authorities put upon French industrial enterprises, to stimulate them to facilitate the departure of their workers to Germany, was brought about in fact through the medium of the organisational committees. The German offices for labour acted directly upon the organisational committees. They ordered conferences, in the course of which they dictated their will to the leaders of these committees. They also required that the organisational committees be informed of all the measures which the French authorities were led to take.
The committees might then be associated with these measures in the interests of German policy. The correspondence of Dr. Michel offers numerous examples of the constant efforts of the German authorities to act upon the organisational committees.
I have just offered an example of this to the Tribunal in the document which I read. I now offer another one. In 1941 the Germans requested especially that circulars, especially the directive of 29th March, 1942, addressed to the Prefects, regarding the recruiting of labourers for Germany, should be officially transmitted to the organisational committees. The occupation authorities obtained satisfaction through a circular of 25th April, which I submit to the Tribunal as Exhibit RF 41.
Purpose: Recruiting of Workers for Germany.
Reference: Your letter No. 192 of 29th April, 1941.
From your explanations I gather that even before my letter of the 23rd April was received, a circular for the organisational committees had been drafted and sent on 25th April.
This circular, nevertheless, does not seem to me adequate to support, in an efficacious manner, the recruiting of workers carried out by Germany. That is why I consider that it is necessary that, in another directive, attention may be drawn to the points which were particularly mentioned by me on 23rd April, and request that you submit to me as soon as possible the appropriate draft.
On the German side an impressive contribution toward the creating of a favourable atmosphere has been made by means of the intended release of an additional large number of prisoners of war, which was considered by you at the time of our conversation of 24th May as a necessary condition for the success of a reinforced recruiting of workers for Germany.
I therefore am probably not wrong in expecting that you will send to the economic organisations a communication so designed that the attitude of waiting, maintained by French economy up to now, will develop also, in the field of the release of labour, into a constructive co- operation. I then expect that you will submit to me your proposals with all possible promptness."
And, finally, the German Services placed direct pressure upon the workers themselves.
THE PRESIDENT: Are you reading from the document now?
M. HERZOG: No. I am resuming the text of the brief.
Moral pressure at first, the "operation de la releve" (prisoner exchange plan), tried in France in the Spring of 1942, is characteristic. The occupation authorities promised to compensate for the sending of French workers to Germany by a liberation of prisoners of war. The return of a prisoner was to take place upon the departure of a worker. This promise was fallacious, and reality was quite different.
I quote in this connection the report on compulsory labour and the deportation of workers, which I submitted this morning to the Tribunal as Exhibit RF 42.
"If the Press, inspired by the occupying power, pretends in its commentaries to applaud the replacement plan of one prisoner for one worker, it is undoubtedly done upon order and based on calculation. Also this is the case, it seems, because until 20th June, 1942, two days before the speech cited before" - it was a speech of the chief of the de facto government of France - "it was indeed this proportion which the Germans Michel and Ritter had pretended to accept in their reports to the French administrative services.
The proportion, in fact, of one to five, appears to have been a last minute surprise of which the Press never spoke."
Here I end my quotation.
The 26th of March last, in Marquise, I ordered, you to go to work in Germany in your profession. You were to leave with the convoy of the 1st of April for Germany. You took no notice of this summons. I warn you that you must present yourself, furnished with your baggage, next Monday, 28th April, before 19.00 hours, at 51, Rue de la Pomme d'Or in Calais. I call your attention to the fact that you leave for Germany as a free worker, that you will work there under the same conditions, and that you will earn there the same wages as German workers.
In the event of your not presenting yourself, I must tell you that unfavourable consequences may very well follow.
The proof of the constraint which the German authorities exercised on the workers of the occupied territories, to bring about their allegedly voluntary enrolment, may be continued. The National Socialist authorities did not merely impose labour contracts tainted with violence on foreign workers. They themselves deliberately failed to honour these contracts.
I find proof of this in the fact that they unilaterally prolonged the duration of the enrolments made by foreign workers. This proof is based on several documents. Some ordinances were issued by the defendant Goering in his capacity as Delegate for the Four Year Plan, others by the defendant Sauckel.
"Extension of work contracts, fixed for a period of time, of foreign workers, who during the time of their contract have absented themselves from their work without proper excuse.
The General Plenipotentiary for Employment of Labour decrees: 'The regular carrying out of the clauses of a contract for a fixed period of time, concluded by a foreign worker, necessitates that the worker should put all his energy at the disposal of the enterprise for the whole duration of the contract.
Nevertheless, it happens that foreign workers, as the result of slackness, delay in their return to work from visits to their homes' - and I draw the Tribunal's attention to the following words - 'serving of prison terms, internment in a camp of correction ..."
THE PRESIDENT: Will you read that again?
"The regular carrying out of the clauses of a contract for a fixed period of time concluded by a foreign worker, necessitates that the worker should put all his energy at the disposal of the enterprise for the whole duration of the contract. Nevertheless, it happens that foreign workers as a result of idleness, delay in their return to work from visits to their homes, serving of prison terms, internment in a camp of correction, or for other reasons, remain absent from their work without just cause, for a longer or shorter period of time. In such cases the foreign workers cannot be authorised to return to their country when the period of time, for which they agreed to work voluntarily in Germany, has elapsed.
Such a procedure would not correspond to the spirit of a work contract for a fixed period of time, whose object is not only the presence of the foreign worker, but also the work accomplished by him."
Kept by force in the German factories which they had entered under force, the foreign workers were neither voluntary nor free workers. The expose of the methods of German recruiting will suffice to show the Tribunal the fictitious character of the voluntary enrolment, on which it was supposed to be based. The foreign workers who agreed to work in the factories of the National Socialist war industry did not act through free will. Their number, however, remained limited. The workers of the occupied territories had the physical courage, the ethical courage, to resist German pressure. This is proved in an admission of the defendant Sauckel, which I take from the minutes of the meeting of 3rd March, 1944, of the conference of the Four Year Plan.
"Our difficulties come from the fact that you address yourself to patriots who do not share our ideals."
Indeed, only force could constrain the patriots of the occupied territories to work on behalf of the enemy. The National Socialist authorities resorted to force.
The Germans had, from the first, the possibility of imposing their policy of force on that kind of labour whose particular status guaranteed recruitment and apparent submission: the prisoners of war.
From 1940 on, the German military authorities organised labour Commandos in prison camps. They constantly increased the importance of these Commandos, who were put at the disposal of agricultural economy and the war industry.
There were, at the end of 1942, 1,036,319 French prisoners of war in Germany, 987,687 had been assigned to the work Commandos. Only the surplus, that is, 48,632 prisoners, remained unemployed.
The utilisation of prisoners of war in German factories does not constitute a distinct phenomenon which can be disassociated from the general plan for the recruiting of foreign workers; it is, on the contrary, an integral part of this plan.
The National Socialists have always considered that the obligation to work applied as much to war prisoners as to the civilian workers of the occupied territories. They have on many occasions expressed such a belief. I refer especially to two documents.
The first is the decree of the appointment of the defendant Sauckel, which I have filed with the Tribunal at the beginning of my explanatory remarks.
The second document to which I wish to draw the attention of the Tribunal is the tenth decree of Sauckel, which I submitted sometime ago as Exhibit RF 17. This decree formulates the principle of the obligation to work and applies to war prisoners, according to the terms of its Article 8.
Finally, Sauckel had, in another document, affirmed that the prisoners of war were to be subject to work to the same degree as civilian workers. This is found in the letter which he wrote to the defendant Rosenberg on 24th April, 1942, some days after his appointment, to explain his project to the latter. This is Document 016-PS, which my American colleague, Mr. Dodd, has already submitted to the Tribunal. I present it as Exhibit RF 45. I shall not read from it, but I call to mind that on Page 11 of the German text the problem of compulsory labour is treated in the general heading, entitled: "Prisoners of War and Foreign Workers."
These documents bring a double proof to the Tribunal. First of all, they reveal the willingness of the National Socialists to force prisoners to work on behalf of the German war economy, within the general frame of their recruiting policy. In the second place, these documents establish that the utilisation of prisoners of war was not undertaken only by military authorities; this utilisation was ordered and systematised by a civilian organisation, that of the Arbeitseinsatz. As well as the responsibility of the defendants Sauckel and Keitel, it entails also that of the German leaders who conducted the labour policy: the defendant Sauckel, the defendant Speer, and the defendant Goering.

The legend of Cuba's lost Harley-Davidsons
Harlistas with circa-1952 FL Hydra-Glide with side shifter.
PHILLIPPE DIEDERICH was one of the first — perhaps the first — to chronicle Cuba's Harlista movement.
It was in March 1997, in the Miami New Times, that the Florida-based writer and photographer told of the island's Harley-Davidson owners and their singular devotion to the rumbling old machines.
Diederich wrote about the late mechanic José Lorenzo Cortez — nickname: Pepe Milésima — whose skills kept the big bikes going for decades after the Revolution, and Sergio Morales, the one-time apprentice to Cortez who would inherit his teacher's role as high priest to the island's Harleys.
He told how the Harlistas make crank pins out of Russian pressure bearings, craft perfect reproductions of Harley exhaust systems and retro-fit sorely needed rear shock absorbers to Hydra-Glides. Every Harley-Davidson in Cuba today is said to be 25-per-cent Cuban-made.
And in this fascinating account, Diederich offered one especially intriguing morsel. Legend holds, he wrote, that Castro's government, shortly after taking power, ordered a huge hole to be dug in the ground at some secret location.
"Into this hole they dumped hundreds and hundreds of Harley-Davidson motorcycles formerly used by the army and by Batista's feared national police. Flatheads, knuckleheads, panheads, models from the 1930s through 1960. All of them six feet under for eternity ... "
A fine and tragic story that couldn't (could it?) be true. And yet, in a land where Ernest Hemingway's 1955 Chrysler New Yorker DeLuxe convertible can mysteriously surface five decades after dropping from sight, isn't it possible to dream of some vast store of old Harleys, not piled into a hole but lined in dust-covered rows in some forgotten warehouse, ready for a thunderous awakening?
The Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwings could be parked nearby. And that 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. And, this I do believe, the younger Batista's 1956 Chevrolet Corvette.
Panhead could be from 1955 or 1956, with adapted rear shocks.
Green machine is a mid-50s FL Hydra-Glide with side shifter.

Discovered in Cuba, a rare Mercedes bird
(December 2012 note: See update link, below.)
GUESS I'LL have to set aside my search for the younger Batista's 1956 Corvette. An even tastier trophy has emerged – a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, better known as the Gullwing.
Even on the Island of Surprises, I'd be astounded to come across one of these rare beauties. But in a brief section on Cuba in Automobiles Lost & Found(Haynes Publishing, 2008), I see a photo of a battered 300SL observed by author Michael E. Ware outside a private garage near Havana.
The Gullwing, unmistakable lift-up doors in place, is dented and rusting and missing its engine, yet still would be prized by collectors the world over . . . if only they could extract it from Cuba. Restored, the Silver Metallic example with Lipstick Red interior might be worth more than $700,000 U.S.
Reached in England, Mr. Ware tells me he was holidaying in Cuba when an acquaintance brought him to an unnamed community to see the car.
"I never asked where it was – I was just …
Crosmobile wagon: A little car lasts a long time
A LONG while back, I put up photos of this tiny wagon in Havana. Most students of automotive history would have identified it as a Crosley, from the short-lived Crosley Motors Inc. of the United States.
As the additional photo above reveals, however, it's actually a rarer yet Crosmobile, which was Crosley's export nameplate. The change was reportedly necessary to avoid conflicts with England's Crossley Motors.
Crosley made cars from 1939 through 1952, less a four-year interruption for military production in the Second World War. The station wagon was its most popular model, but it also offered convertibles and sedans, a sports car and even a tiny pickup truck. This wagon is from Crosley's final CD series (1949-1952), and we can further tell from its roll-down windows that it's a 1950 or newer; the '49 had sliding side windows. The company was a long-held dream for Powel Crosley Jr., the Cincinnati, Ohio, businessman whose Crosley Radio Corp. had become t…
The last cars out of Cuba
(First of a series)
It's Oct. 31, 1960, and the SS City of Havana, an automobile and passenger ferry that began life as a Second World War landing craft carrier, is easing to its berth at Safe Harbor in Key West, Florida. Sixteen years earlier, this vessel, then known as HMS Northway, carried amphibious trucks and their Canadian and British crews to Juno Beach in the Normandy Invasion. But on this day, those aboard are fleeing, not approaching, conflict. Of the 287 passengers, 232 are Cuban citizens who hold United States residence permits, key to their own economic and political safe harbour.
Also aboard are 86 cars, of which most belong to the U.S. embassy in Havana. After imposing an embargo on trade with Cuba in retaliation for the Castro government's seizure of U.S. property and alignment with the Soviet Union, the United States now is cutting diplomatic ties. This photo, taken upon the City of Havana's arrival and provided by Key West History magazine, shows ro…
Havana and Detroit: Sisters under a well-worn skin
VOLUPTUOUS, PRE-1960 American cars are the obvious link between Detroit and Havana. One city built them, the other relies on them. But the Michigan and Cuban capitals share more than pontoon fenders and Dagmar bumpers.
There's the architecture –classic, often crumbling, with flashes of contemporary.
The permeating music – different in genres, yet descending from the same African roots.
The vivid art – best represented, in the Motor City, by the product of two Mexico-born painters: Diego Rivera, whose working-man murals would be as at home in a Havana barrio as they are on the walls of the Detroit Institute of Arts, and Frida Kahlo, whose surreal folk-art images could command prime space in any Cuban gallery.
And beneath it all, murmuring like a Hemi-powered '55 Chrysler, the energy of a place alive and assured within its own well-worn skin.
It follows, then, that as Cuba becomes more open to Americans, Detroiters might be better equipped than many of their fell…
The Remarkable Story of Fortune Magazine's Confusion Over Cuba
WE KNOW THAT some American news outlets get Cuba, and for that matter, get cars. Fortune appears lacking on both counts. Sad evidence of this is supplied in "The Amazing Tale of How Cuba Saw Its First New U.S. Car in 58 Years," a web piece in which staffer Sue Callaway accompanies Infiniti design boss Alfonso Albaisa on his first visit to the island his parents left in 1962.
Also on the trip: a pre-production 2017 Infiniti Q60 coupe for Albaisa to show off in a country where, in his words, "the romance of the automobile is still completely alive."
U.S. car?
Despite the contributions to its styling by Infiniti's San Diego design centre, the Q60 is about as American as sukiyaki.
Just like its predecessor, the Infiniti G37, the Q60 shares its platform with the Nissan 370Z. And it's built at the same Tochigi factory as the 370Z.
It's Japanese.
Perhaps Fortune was confusing it with the similarly named QX60, the sole Infiniti model produced at N…
A man and not his bicycle
THIS MAN is Canadian, and so is the 10-speed he holds, an iconic Supercycle from the Canadian Tire retail chain. But this isn't his bike. It would have arrived in Cuba, perhaps years ago, with one of his countrymen. It's long been a practice for Canadian visitors to bring old bikes, ride them for the duration of their stay and then leave them on the island in the hope that Cubans can put them to good use. And the Cuban who now owns this Supercycle has done just that, renting it to tourists such as this gentleman for 10 CUC a week.
Good deal all around.
Where Cody LeCompte went wrong
It seems that detained tourists in Cuba areput up in beach resorts while the island's wheels of justice grind along like the gearbox in a Russian tractor.
Cody LeCompte, a 19-year-old from Simcoe, Ontario, has been forbidden from leaving the island since an April traffic accident in which the rental Hyundai Accent he was driving (hmmm, sounds familiar) collided with a dump truck. LeCompte and his three passengers were injured, and all spent time in hospital.
Since then, LeCompte has been staying at a resort in Santa Lucia with his uncle. It's not clear who's paying the bills.
Although the family insists the other driver was at fault, a Cuban court this week apparently decided that LeCompte must stand trial. His mother told reporters she's heard the trial may not take place for six months to one year.
Canada's Foreign Affairs department says traffic accidents "are a frequent cause of arrest and detention of Canadians in Cuba" -- although if that's the case, such incidents haven't…
In pursuit of hire powers
MOTORCYCLES MAY BE the most common type of taxi in Santiago, but they aren't the only choice. For travellers seeking more comfort and security – not to mention room for more than one passenger – here are some alternatives.
1. Gladway three-wheelerAt one time, it was safe to assume that any motorized trike in Cuba – flatbed, van, tuk tuk-style taxi – was an Ape (pronounced ah-pay, hand gestures optional) from well-known Italian manufacturer Piaggio. Even the homegrown coco taxis in Havana and Varadero ride on Ape underpinnings. Now, three-wheelers from China have joined the Chinese buses and cars already common on Cuban roads. The Gladway above is a product of the Shandong Mulan plant in Jinan, south of Beijing. Parent company Gladway Holdings Ltd. specializes in electric vehicles, but also offers gas-powered models.
2. Peugeot 404 In other Cuban cities, late-model Hyundais and ageless Ladas make up the formal taxi fleets, while older cars – generally American – served as fixed-…

Is there some place I can order the clear ones or just clean up the red plastic ones I already have with some sort of chenical to remove the red on the inside?
I bought a set of '06 tail lights for mine. Those have the clear lenses. Don't know of anyway to get the red out; Visine maybe?

I have been using Quickbooks Desktop for about 5 years to run my pet management service. It has been effective as an accounting, payroll, tax, and customer transaction management, but that's about it. I also need a scheduling system, client interaction, and dog document system.
I'm wondering if Quickbook Online could replace, and enhance, the installed Desktop system.
– Can I move all the data from the Quicklooks Desktop system and continue the day-to-day transaction with Quickbooks Online? In other words, can I create customer invoice, accept payments, issue payroll and other routine functions that Quickbooks Desktop offers? To say it another way, can I simply do everything I am currently but now on the cloud version? How easy or difficult is to move my Desktop data to the Online system?
– Second, what is the cost of the Online version? I see the monthly subscription options, but is there another cost for multiple users? Currently, everyone in my business (typically 6 employee) can use the Desktop version. What is the cost if each of them (plus potentially 4 additional employees) want to use the Online version?
– Where can I find other apps that can be integrated with Online? Suggestion, for a scheduling calendar system, client interaction (including customer profile self-management), or dog document.
– Are there any proficient pet management systems that interface cleaning with Quickbooks Online?
I would appreciate your help on these thoughts.

Q: Is there ever a correct time to use a public variable? Is there a situation were using a public variable would be beneficial?  If not, why do they even exist?
Also I am specifically talking about Java, but if they have use in another language perhaps that would give reason to their existence.

A: Yes, I use them for my representation of a vector.
public class Vec3f {

    public final float x, y, z;

    // the methods

}

Note that because these are final primitives it is safe to expose them. This is shorter in code and uses less method calls (none).
In general, they are viable to use in value-objects (let's use that name) if made final.
I define value-objects as possibly immutable, possibly short-lived objects holding just data, yielding new objects on mutation.
You shouldn't use public non-final variables in your public API though...

A: public static final variables are a common and handy way of defining constants
Public member variables are a little harder to justify, but I have seen a massive number of bean type objects with a load of private member variables and a corresponding set of getters and setters that do nothing but return or set the private variables. In those cases, there is an argument to make those variables public as the data is hardly "encapsulated" by the class - the user can set it to whatever they like, and they retrieve whatever the variable is set to without any modification.
I don't do it personally, but I'm not 100% against it either.

A: Global variables (when the language allows), can cause major problems especially in complex systems, where a piece of code can change its value at any time. Besides creating a coupling between places that should not have.
so avoid
In java I usually use public final constants in a single centralized source.

Well, as a matter of fact, there is a such thing as "sex negative"
I just wanted to thank Lina for putting together this blog carnival and for inviting me to be part of it. On the general theme of sex positivity and its relationship to feminism, I have several, hopefully not-too-disconnected thoughts on the theme.
The term "sex-positive" itself has been the source of some rather unproductive debates lately. Overall, I like the fact that Lina chose the title "Carnival of Sexual Freedom and Autonomy", as its much more inclusive and speaks more to core values than "Carnival of Sex-Positive Feminists". At the same time, rejection of the phrase "sex-positive" because it "gets a lot of people's backs up" kind of gets my back up a bit. Not because I want everybody to embrace that label, or embrace labels at all, but because I really think that any movement has an inherent right to define its terms and present itself in whatever way its members wish to. Whether other people accept that framing is up to them.
The general argument against the term is that "sex-positive" and "pro-sex" axiomatically means the opposite of "sex-negative" and "anti-sex", and hence those who use such terms are being really big meanies by implying that the other party in the debate, most typically radical feminists, are anti-sex or sex-negative. Well, true, the term does frame the debate that way. However, this is true of many other political movements – in the abortion debate, the terms "pro-choice" and "pro-life" also have connotations about the other side and also manage to get people's backs up, but generally speaking, I don't see a lot of ink being spilled by either side of the abortion debate demanding that the other side cease and desist in using its self-designation because the other side is offended by it. Both self-designations are generally accepted by now and a more substantive (if still intractable) debate moves on.
The thing is, I don't feel that this is a particularly good reason to drop the term "sex positive", because there really is a such thing as sex-negativity. It is something that has deep roots in Western culture, and quite a few non-Western cultures as well, and continues to manifest itself in religious systems, political ideologies, and in other dominant institutions like law and medicine. And, yes, one of the places sex-negativity comes up is in feminism.
Natalia Antonova posted a rather interesting example of this, showing some rather similar-sounding sex-negative rhetoric from radfem blogger Twisty Faster and Russian Orthodox fundamentalist Dmitri Artemyev. The point is not, as some have taken Natalia's post, that there's some kind of weird collusion between radical feminist bloggers and the Russian far right, but rather that there are some deep-seated memes in the larger culture that express themselves in some decidedly different milieus.
While Twisty calls herself a "sex neutral feminist" who describes the sexual act as "on par with sneezing", there are some decidedly far more sex-negative strains out there. Foremost, of course, is Sheila Jeffreys, who really does seem to embody what many feminists dismiss as a non-existent caricature – she is unmitigatingly against any heterosexual sex as an "eroticization of power differences", but also has an extremely low opinion of lesbianism, autoeroticism, and orgasm itself, if such pleasure is derived from anything that remotely resembles heterosexual or power roles, or even the fantasy of such. In her book, The Spinster and her Enemies, Jeffreys proudly traces her intellectual heritage to the Victorian social purity movements of the first wave feminism. Lest you think Jeffreys is just obscure some bitter crank, she's actually a rather popular radical feminist author, not just in the radical feminist blogosphere, but in the mainstream press.
I could cite numerous other examples from the feminist blogosphere showing this mentality (well, OK, this one is pretty glaring), but I think the above will suffice. And while I think Jeffreys and her followers are an extreme and glaring example, I do think that there's more than a hint of this kind of sex-negativity even among liberal and "moderate" feminist bloggers who go into full-bore moralism mode when it comes to issues around prostitution and pornography.
My point here is not to pick on feminism as being a worse example of sex-negativity than the larger society. For all of the much-vaunted "permissiveness" of modern society, there is also a strong streak of sex-negativity still very much permeating it – its in the air we breathe, figuratively speaking, and its not terribly surprising that it emerges full force in some strains of feminism. A favorite theme of radical feminists is that we must "examine" how the larger society has influenced us. But, then, why should feminism itself be exempt from such examination and critique?
This, to me, is the reason why sex positivity, sexual freedom, sexual autonomy, or whatever you want to label it or not label it is so terribly necessary.
Well, as a matter of fact, there is a such thing a...

Home Interviews If I had my way, students would stop writing examinations – Adeosun
If I had my way, students would stop writing examinations – Adeosun
Abdussalam Amoo
Dr Oyenike Adeosun is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lagos, where she teaches English Education. In this interview with EduCeleb.com, the educator shares some of her thoughts about improving the education sector in Nigeria.
Majority of those admitted to study at teacher-training institutions are those who perhaps performed poorly. Don't you think that that would affect quality in the education sector?
I am a full advocate of admitting people, who are first of all interested in studying education. At different fora within my university, I have spoken about it. A situation, where students come in with a mindset of coming to "manage" education or temporarily gaining admission with the hope of transferring to another faculty is usually an empty promise. By the time they come with that mindset, they are always looking out and they wouldn't concentrate. So, when the reality dawn on them that this is not possible, frustration comes in – even killing the little interest that they might have had. I remember that there was a particular former Dean (of Education) who was able to take it up with the university management that candidates who originally chose education as the course of first choice, even if they score 50%, should be given priority in admissions. Then, whatever lapses that we have at UTME level, we can always fill it up with people who had gone through NCE for Direct Entry on admission. Therefore, we don't want education to be a second choice of course. For a while, the university agreed but this doesn't seem so anymore. The "go and manage education" idea is killing education and the school system. Most of the time, this thing has moribund effect to especially the lower level of education and trickles to the basic school and secondary school levels to the universities. If I were in a position where I could have influence on policy, I would insist that provided the candidate had interest, it would be easier to teach and encourage them to perform better than others who don't.
Are you suggesting then that only interest is required and scores shouldn't matter?
No, don't get me wrong. You will notice that university admission is highly competitive. In the last admission, there was a lot of outcry that some candidates who scored very high got no admission. I understand that there is no pass mark in the UTME. It is a competitive rating exam and in a rating exam, there is no pass mark. Indirectly, the candidate determines the pass mark. Those admitted are then those who passed. Admission has become very competitive. So, there is a minimum benchmark that we should not go lower than. In most first generation universities, I think it is about 50%. If you score up to that, you still have a hope of gaining admission. I don't think education is that bad that we should go below the minimum standard. But coupled with that, the person must also have interest in the profession.

There is the trend of schools employing teachers for phonics or diction today. Is foreign accent really important in learning English?
I understand that English as an international language gives room for national and dialectical variations. That's why we have American English, Scottish English, Australian English, South African English and so on. The realisation that, no matter what, your mother tongue or first language would always have an impact is why there is that flexibility in speaking English. And that is why also, in training, we target international intelligibility. But that doesn't mean that I must learn to speak like a Briton. When you now talk of diction teachers, what is their exposure? They were also exposed to wrong pronunciation and "certified" even with that. They are now taking all the certificates around saying that they are diction teachers. In fact, there are a lot elitist schools which tend to follow such trends. The other one is Cursive Handwriting introduced in schools. It makes some handwritings get worse. Let children write naturally the way they can and improve on that. Having a diction teacher is good but they should have better exposure and their own language background should not be affecting English pronunciation too. That is not that necessary, especially with digital technology in the classroom where you can log on and all the children will listen directly to the native speaker rather than having a bad teacher teach them.
…if I had my way, I wouldn't set question for examinations… I believe more in research. Producing your own knowledge is better rather than regurgitating knowledge, which is what exam tests. Oyenike Adeosun PhD
Is there any bright future in the adoption of indigenous languages in the classrooms?
There is hope in that. You would discover that it is in this side (South West Nigeria) that we are having issues adopting our indigenous languages in schools. Northerners are quite comfortable in their languages. If more states could start emulating the sort of Lagos law promoting that, things may likely be different. The local languages are dying. Yoruba is not being used as much as before. My Igbo colleagues would even say that it is worse in their own place. With technology, the awareness is more now. It is only that as speakers of that language, we should be more committed to promoting them.
What is your view on conducting examinations?
I tell my students that if I had my way, I wouldn't set question for examinations.
So, what would replace it?
As a lecturer, I have never given students test over the years. I give assignments. Assignments would take them out of their convenient areas to go and research. I believe more in research. Producing your own knowledge is better rather than regurgitating knowledge, which is what exam tests.

On my part I make the Continuous Assessment 40 and the Exam 60 as against the 70-30 university variation of marks allowable for a course. There should be more focus on practically oriented classroom activities and we should develop rubrics for grading or rating those activities rather than exams. You know, even when you go and invigilate an exam, you see students struggling. Some of them would not even had slept overnight trying to put so much in their heads. And after the exams, all the materials, including textbooks and hand-outs that they might have photocopied or written would be left at the exam venue. The message that is passing across is that: "We don't want to have anything to do with this course again". Even when you now teach them another related course the following semester or year and you ask questions relating to that, they are blank. As far as they are concerned, they had written the exam and they had got a 5.0. That is where it stops. Over-emphasis on exams rarely allows linkages, connectivity or application of knowledge, which is what learning is. Learning is the transfer of experience. But exam is like once you do it, it is gone. So, if I had my way, I would not allow exams anymore. I don't believe in exams. I think I became a better student when I stopped writing exams.
The "go and manage education" idea is killing education and the school system. Most of the time, this thing has moribund effect to especially the lower level of education and trickles to the basic school and secondary school levels to the universities. Oyenike Adeosun PhD
Do you consider the current Nigerian curriculum relevant to present realities in technology?
Curriculum is broadly divided into two – content and process. In terms of content – the theme and the topics – they are up to date. But the processes are still very weak. Sometimes, it is funny when you go to elitist schools and they say that they are using technology to teach. Then, you go there and discover that they are doing trash even with technology. That is why the user of the technology matters. They use smart board to replace textbooks. But the other components of the smart board are not incorporated into the classroom. Even the people who came to train the teachers on the use of the smartboards cannot even understand the vastness of their applicability to learning of the smartboards because they are not teacher but technologists and technical people.

So, before we can start talking about technology in the class, the users of the technologies are very important. What skills and knowledge base did we expose them to for them to use technology effectively? Then, technology changes every minute. So, it is not also possible that you would prepare (the curriculum) in anticipation of that. But if you develop in the teachers' capability, creativity skills and adaptability skills, they can blend in relation to different dimensions technology will lead them. That is what is still lacking in our school system. We've been able to programme our minds that chairs are for sitting and never look at any other possibilities. So, even if the technology is there, the possibility of its functions is not there. It is more of opening the mindset of teachers to possibilities.
The integrity of some degrees awarded are more at stake today with marks not being awarded entirely based on merit. Money or sex for marks are being suspected in some cases. What is the way forward?
I know these sometimes happen. But it is not as common as is being presented. What are processes that lead to awarding a degree? You have the exams and the Continuous Assessment. Every examination score that is published is vetted. At the end of the semester, we have a meeting at the departmental level, where we present results as lecturers. Where there is so much disparity in the award of marks, we ask questions. From the departmental level, the results move to the Faculty Board of Studies and then to the Senate passing through scrutiny all through. There are instances that while we are at meetings, we ask colleagues to bring students' scripts or even the CA where necessary. I remember a case where a senior colleague taught over fifty students and about forty of them scored A. We had to ask the lecturer to defend it. Then, we've had students make such claims without showing evidence of any irregularity.
Can you confirm that this system works like that everywhere?
Of course, the system is there and processes have been put in place to prevent some of these things. But how faithful are we to that system? It sometimes depends on the thoroughness of the participants. Sometimes, we overlook some of these things. But the system is in place. If there are situations like that, it is the implementers of the system that are not doing their due diligence. In a situation where you know that your colleagues would be diligent, that's a message to you to be careful already. But where otherwise, you can do as you like. So, it depends on different departments. While I used to be course adviser, I would scrutinise results and question awarded marks where necessary. For instance, a student who did eight courses and scored 1.0 or 2.0 in about six or seven and I see a 5.0 in one, I will ask questions. I don't have the authority to query the lecturer but somehow I would just jokingly discuss that with them. If it were the other way around too that an all-round top scorer scores 1.0 in one course, I will call the student to ask why the abysmal performance in that particular course. Depending on the response of the student, sometimes, I will take it up with the lecturer through the Head of Department.

Q: Upholding Graph API contingent (limit) when using only the app ID Facebook tells me that the the contingent for API calls for a certain App ID is raised when a user logs into facebook using my app.
It says that the algorithm for detecting the current limit per time is like
users (logged in?) the day before x new logins today x n
My question is: Does this only take into account new logins so that logins that occured 2 days before day x would not longer uphold my API call limit on day x+2? Or does it consider all users that ever logged in using my app?
My app only uses a facebook login once (at the beginning for law protocolling reasons) but then no more and I had to change that if user logins are counted on a 2-day basis.

What was dripping down Giuliani's face? Dark streaks added to an already-odd event
Nov. 20, 2020 at 4:24 am Updated Nov. 20, 2020 at 2:53 pm
JONAH ENGEL BROMWICH
Rudy Giuliani gave a news conference Thursday in which, as he continued to cast doubt on the results of the presidential election, it appeared he was starting to melt.
Speaking from the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington, Giuliani grew increasingly agitated as he expanded on the debunked allegations of widespread voter fraud that he has pursued since the election was called for Joe Biden earlier this month. About 40 minutes into his statement, his sweat began to drip in color.
By the time Giuliani began to take questions from reporters, the dark rivulets of liquid streaking down his face had become impossible to ignore, even as he pleaded with those present not to make light of his claims, for which he has yet to present evidence.
Fact-checking the wildest news conference of the Trump presidency
Many online commenters assumed that Giuliani was the victim of a bad dye job that was now seeping out under the bright lights of television. But several Manhattan hairdressers said that what was dripping down the face of the president's lawyer was likely not hair dye.
"Hair dye doesn't drip like that, unless it's just been applied," said David Kholdorov of the Men's Lounge Barbershop and Spa, on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
He explained that hair dye is typically mixed with peroxide during the dyeing process, and that once the solution oxidizes, the color adheres to the hair. No one would leave the solution in place in its raw form, he said, because the solution would irritate the scalp and could burn the hair or cause it to fall out.
Mirko Vergani, the creative color director at the Drawing Room, a salon in downtown Manhattan, said it was far more likely that Giuliani had used mascara or a touch-up pen to make sure his sideburns matched the rest.
"Sideburns are more gray than the rest of the head," he said. "You can apply mascara to touch the gray side up a bit so it looks more natural."
He said that anyone wishing to avoid what happened to Giuliani should avoid hot weather, and wait for the makeup to dry completely.
"In the picture, it looks really heavy," Vergani said, referring to a photograph of Giuliani during the news conference. "I'm sure they put too much product and that's why it started to bleed."
Not everyone agreed. Gene Sarcinello, a stylist and colorist at Takamichi Hair, said that the streaks could have been caused by hair dye.
"If it's not washed out properly, that's what's going to happen," he said, adding that the dye could be spray-on. "Not knowing exactly what he has on his hair, it's hair-color related definitely."
"In some of the pictures I'm seeing, it looks glossy," he said. "Which looks like a product in his hair."
Giuliani's hair has long been the subject of public discussion. When, in 2002, he abandoned what had been a signature comb-over, The Washington Post's fashion critic, Robin Givhan, commended the move.
"Giuliani's comb-over had reached mythic proportions as it was memorialized in comedy bits on virtually every television network and in countless caricatures," she wrote. "One can only assume that its disappearance will send shock waves ricocheting from the studios of 'Saturday Night Live' to the corner barbershop."
Thursday's event was the latest in an unusual series of public appearances for Giuliani. On Nov. 7, he delivered remarks from the parking lot of Four Seasons Total Landscaping, a Philadelphia landscaping company close to a crematory and a pornography shop. Several weeks before the election he was compelled to deny he had done anything wrong after his appearance in Sacha Baron Cohen's "Borat" sequel.
Giuliani, who has served as President Donald Trump's personal lawyer for several years, has been one of the president's closest allies in continued attempts to subvert the Electoral College process that delivered the presidency to Biden. Chris Krebs, the senior cybersecurity official who countered several of Trump's false claims about the election and was subsequently fired by the president, tweeted Thursday that Giuliani's conference was "the most dangerous 1hr 45 minutes of television in American history. And possibly the craziest."
"If you don't know what I'm talking about, you're lucky," Krebs added.
The New York Times reported Tuesday that Giuliani had asked Trump's campaign to pay him $20,000 a day for his work overseeing the White House's legal effort to overturn the election results. (Giuliani denied the report.) Thus far, his legal team has suffered a string of defeats in court.
Giuliani did not immediately return a request for comment.

Q: Order of latitude and longitude in EPSG:4326 I recently started working with GPS data in PostGIS and am very confused about the order of latitude and longitude. I'm from Europe, and here everyone I know uses latitude first, longitude second, e.g. (48.137, 11.575) points to Munich (and not somewhere off the coast of Somalia). This is also what Google Maps, OpenStreetMap and many other services will tell me, when I enter these coordinates in the search box.
Now I created a table in PostGIS
CREATE TABLE public.epsg_4326 (
    id integer primary key,
    geom geometry(Point, 4326)
);

The manual I followed said EPSG:4326 is basically WGS84, which is used by GPS, which is what I want, so I picked it for my geometry type.
Now let's insert some data...
INSERT INTO public.epsg_4326 (id, geom) VALUES (1, 'POINT(48.137 11.575)');

Then I inspected the result in PGAdmin. When I switch to the geometry viewer, it will place my point in Africa. So clearly, PostGIS (or pgAdmin) expect my data as long/lat, instead of lat/long.

I tried to figure out how EPSG:4326 is defined and at https://epsg.io/4326 they clearly state

Coordinate system: Ellipsoidal 2D CS. Axes: latitude, longitude. Orientations: north, east.

But, if I follow the link to the map on the very same page, this is what happens:

They contradict themselves!
What's going on here? How is EPSG:4326 really defined? Should I use latitude or longitude first?

A: Note EPSG.io despite its name is not the official registry of EPSG.  The official EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset is https://epsg.org/home.html.
The CRS EPSG:4326 is (and always has been) defined as first axis latitude second axis longitude.
Most EPSG geographic coordinate systems follow the latitude then longitude, coordinate axis order, following the default of ISO 6709 Standard representation of geographic point location by coordinates.
Also see:

*

*Why latitude/longitude and not the other way round?

*Displaying coordinates and inputs as LatLon or LonLat?

A: I couldn't quite accept that PostGIS forces me to use (lon,lat) order when EPSG:4326 says it should be (lat,lon), so I spent way too much time thinking of a clever solution to find a suitable abstraction and this is what I came up with:

*

*On the client side, I'm working with Python, using SQLAlchemy and GeoAlchemy.

*I specified a custom GPS type that is an extension of Geometry which automatically swaps lat,lon to lon,lat on insert, and lon,lat back to lat,lon on select.

*Additionally, it can parse WKT data to Shapely shapes and limits the precision of coordinates with ST_QuantizeCoordinates to a reasonable amount.

Here's the GPS type definition
from geoalchemy2 import Geometry, functions as geo_func
from geoalchemy2.shape import to_shape
from sqlalchemy import TypeDecorator, func

class GPS(TypeDecorator):
    """
    Extension of PostGIS type 'Geometry' with the following additions:

    * Flips the order of latitude and longitude, so that from the outside,
      we get lat,lon ordering, as it should be, but in the database,
      it is lon,lat so that PostGIS is happy
    * limits the precision of all stored coordinates to a reasonable amount
      (no raw floats needed, reduces table size when TOAST compression
      is available)

    :param srid: a custom SRID (defaults to EPSG:4326 for GPS)
    :param precision: number of significant decimal digits after
           the decimal point
    :param kwargs: other parameters for the Geometry type
    """
    impl = Geometry
    cache_ok = True

    def __init__(self, srid=4326, precision=7, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(srid=srid, **kwargs)
        self.precision = precision

    def column_expression(self, col):
        # this function will be executed by the database on select
        # flip coordinates from lon,lat back to lat,lon
        return getattr(func, self.impl.as_binary)(
            geo_func.ST_FlipCoordinates(col), type_=self)

    def bind_expression(self, bindvalue):
        # this function will be executed by the database on insert
        # flip coordinates from lat,lon to lon,lat and limit precision
        return geo_func.ST_QuantizeCoordinates(
            geo_func.ST_FlipCoordinates(self.impl.bind_expression(bindvalue)),
            self.precision, type_=self)

    def process_result_value(self, value, dialect):
        # this function will be executed locally on select
        # parse the raw WKB value to a shapely geometry
        return to_shape(value)

And this is how you can use
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer
from sqlalchemy.orm import declarative_base

Base = declarative_base()

class GeoTest(Base):
    __tablename__ = 'epsg_4326'
    id = Column(Integer, primary=True)
    position = Column(GPS(geometry_type='POINT', precision=5))

Let's try it
from shapely.geometry import Point
from sqlalchemy import create_engine
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker

engine = create_engine('postgresql://user:secret@localhost:5432/test_db', echo=True)
Base.metadata.create_all(engine)
session = sessionmaker(bind=engine)

gps = GeoTest(id=0, position=Point(48.137, 11.575).wkt)
session.add(gps)
session.commit()
# stored as wkt "POINT(11.575 48.137)" in the database
gps2 = session.query(GeoTest).first()
# restored as shapely Point(48.137, 11.575) in python
# exact float values can be different, since we are rounding in binary

I'm sure there are some edge cases that I've missed, but I'm ok with this solution for now.


India Pale Ale gets its name and unique style from British brewers who were making beer for export to India. This style has an intense hop flavor which was used to preserve the beer for the long voyage. India Pale Ale has a golden to copper color with a medium maltiness and body. The aroma is moderate to very strong. IPAs work especially well at cutting the heat of chili, vindaloo or Sichuan cuisine.

Константин Николајевич Бочаров (, , транслитерировать: Константин Николајевич Бочаров; рођен 11. априла 1997), познатији под пцеудонимом Mélovin (стилизовано као MÉLOVIN), украјински је певач и текстописац. Прославио се након победе у шестој сезони од X-Фактор Украјина.

Представљао је Украјину на песми Евровизије 2018 у Лисабону, Португалија, са песмом "Under the Ladder" (Испод мердевина).

Детињство и одрастање
Константин је рођен у Одеси од родитеља Николе Бочаров и Валентине Бочарове. Још као дете се интересовао за музику и често наступао у школи. Касније је похађао музичку школу, али је напустио пре него што ју је завршио. На крају се одлучио да похађа драмску школу, где је и дипломирао. Због свог необичног изгледа, другачијег избора музике и генерално интересовања за компоновање, певање и хемију, често је био предмет вршњачког насиља, те како каже "знао је кући да се враћа у модрицама", а ствар се погоршала када је на једном школском фестивалу имтирао Верку Сердјучку,(Андреј Данилко), представницу Украјине на Песми Евровизије 2007, а ни не слути колика ће му Андреј бити подршка у животу касније. Без обзира на све ово, Константин је остао позитиван и насмејан младић, ипак вољен у друштву девојака. .

Каријера

2015—2016: X-Фактор Украјина
Константин се трипут пријављивао на такмичењу Х-Фактор Украјина, али никада се није појавио на телевизији. На крају крајева, прошао је аудицију за шоу у шестој сезони у 2015. години. Пробио се кроз конкуренцију са наступима попут:'Красиво', 'Rolling in the Deep', 'Она вернется'. Након завршетка емисије, отишао је на турнеју по Украјини заједно са другим финалистима. У 2016. години, објавио свој деби сингл "Не одинокая", а затим је уследио и албум Face to face (2016) Hooligan.

 2017—данас: Евровизија и национални успех
Дана 14. јануара 2017. озваничено је да је Константин један од 23 учесника на на националном избору за Песму Евровизије Vidbir 2017,са песмом "Wonder" (ср. Чудо). Констанин се такмичио у трећој полуфиналној вечери 18. фебруара 2017. године, где је завршио на другом месту и пласирао се у финале. У финалној вечери, пласирао се највише по извору публике, али упркос свему завршио на трећем, на асистирање стручног жирија: Константин Мелаџе, Џамала, и Верка Сердјучка

Следеће године, Константин је најавио повратак на Vidbir те је 16, јануара 2018. године било потврђено да је један од 18 учесника са песмом Under The Ladder. Такмичио се у другом полуфиналу 17. фебруара 2018. године, где се пласирао у финале као учесник који је био у топ 3 све три вечери, пробијајући се на прво место по гласовима публике и друго место по избору жирија: Џамала, Верка Сердјучка, и Еуген Филатов. Победио је у финалу 24. фебруара и то је означило да ће представњати Украјину наПесма Евровизије 2018 у Лисабон, Португалијаl. Пласирао је на 17-том месту на Песма Евровизије 2018 у финалѕ, освојивши свега 11 поена од судија из 43 земље и 113 поена од публике која је гласала широм света. Многи фанови сматрају да је неправедно пласиран и да су му поени украдени, заједно са још пар држава.

A screenshot of the leaked women's N.C.A.A. basketball tournament bracket.
There were balloons at Baylor, streamers at Missouri State and fake smiles at more colleges than anyone cared to count, but one thing was decidedly absent when the N.C.A.A. women's basketball bracket was released on Monday: suspense.
For the second time in three years, a basketball tournament field leaked before it was supposed to be revealed on a selection show created specifically for that purpose. This time it was the bracket for the Division I women's championship, which was supposed to be revealed at 7 p.m. Eastern on Monday on ESPN. Instead, ESPN's sister network ESPNU accidentally broadcast it live four hours earlier.
Starting at 3 p.m. on ESPNU's "Bracketology" show, the college basketball analysts Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Seth Greenberg and Jay Williams were discussing the men's bracket, which was released Sunday night. While the men's bracket appeared front-and-center on the broadcast, the women's bracket was shown in pieces on the side.
Eventually the entire bracket was shown, revealing several surprises: Connecticut (31-2), the dominant power in women's basketball for almost 25 years, will be a No. 2 seed for the first time since 2006, and the Tennessee Lady Vols, who were on the bubble, were included in the tournament as a No. 11 seed, extending their streak to 38 straight N.C.A.A. tournament appearances. But the mistake also scrambled the plans of dozens of colleges who had invited friends and fans to attend elaborate watch parties to see their teams' names called. At several, those events — robbed of their drama — were simply canceled.
In a statement, ESPN acknowledged the error.
Baylor (31-1), Mississippi State (30-2), Louisville (29-3) and Notre Dame (30-3) earned No. 1 seeds in this year's field. The No. 2 seeds were UConn, Oregon (29-4), Stanford (28-4) and Iowa (26-6).
Like many other schools, Rutgers, which hadn't been to the women's basketball tournament since 2015, had invited about 200 fans to mingle with the players at a watch party for the selection show. Giant silver balloons spelling out N.C.A.A. hovered over the bleachers at Rutgers Athletic Center. Red, white and black balloons decorated the stands. Two smoke machines stood at the ready for the big moment.
The players were lifting weights when they heard that the bracket had been revealed early. The watch party was canceled because, well, there was nothing to watch.
An N.C.A.A. tournament bracket also was revealed ahead of its scheduled release three years ago. The bracket for the men's tournament was leaked on Twitter in the middle of the CBS telecast of the selection show. The anonymous leaker has never been publicly identified, and it is not clear if CBS or the N.C.A.A. knows who it is. But the leaker was widely praised by college basketball fans for short-circuiting CBS's ponderous revealing of the bracket.
While 2016's bracket reveal seemed like a malicious one designed to embarrass CBS and the N.C.A.A., Monday's leak was an error by one of the N.C.A.A.'s biggest media partners. ESPN pays a reported $36 million annually for the rights to show 24 N.C.A.A. tournament championships, including the women's college basketball tournament, which it has shown since 2003. That pales in comparison, however, to the almost $800 million CBS and Turner Sports combine to pay each year to show the men's college basketball tournament.
A second bracket leak demonstrates the peril in purposefully delaying news in order to get brackets, graphics and talking points prepared for a manufactured television event. And the N.C.A.A. was not pleased.
"We regret the network's mistake and are working with our partners at ESPN to prevent similar errors in future years," the N.C.A.A. said in a statement.
UConn (31-2), off the top line for the first time in more than a decade, was placed in the Albany Region with Louisville, which won a home game against UConn, 78-69, on Jan. 31.
Rutgers, a No. 7 seed, will face 10th-seeded Buffalo on Friday in Storrs, Conn. Since the players had missed celebrating a live announcement, they decided to fake it. Everyone gathered in the bleachers, and the video staff replayed the announcement on the overhead screen. The team cheered, smoke erupted, and a picture was snapped. Then off to study film and practice as if it were any other day.


The overall goal of the CERT/KAN Neighborhood Forums will be to focus on Disaster Planning and Emergency Response for each neighborhood. We will seek to define resource availability, including Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) strength, communication planning, emergency centers, and Points of Distribution (PODs) for use when additional resources can be made available. Kirkland's Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Public Safety Committee, along with the CERT steering committee, feel strongly that this goal will be best served with broad community engagement. Neighborhood Forums are hosted by the CERT Steering Committee Neighborhood Chairperson, and held monthly on a variable schedule in order to provide many different opportunities for community members to participate.
When disaster strikes, would you know how to contact first responders? What if 9-1-1 is jammed, or phones are down altogether? What if there was a designated location in your neighborhood where you could go for information, help, and basic services such as power and communication? Points of Distribution or PODs are such a place. The Kirkland Office of Emergency Management (OEM), in conjunction with our City Council, is planning to identify PODs for each Kirkland neighborhood.
Valued (CERT, KAN, Community) members were invited to participate in a meeting on Saturday February 28th from 10-11am at Fire Station 22. Attendees were asked to provide input into what makes a good POD location and what services or resources might be available in their neighborhoods. Ongoing opportunities to engage in disaster and emergency response planning were also discussed.
Steve Bennett is leading the CERT / KAN Neighborhood Forum. Please contact him via email (click here) if you would like to participate in this exciting partnership.


Using the latest in modern dental technology, it's now possible to give your child a beautiful, healthy smile more quickly, more discretely and more easily than ever before.
With this new smile, comes extra confidence for life!
There are a number of different ways to get this potentially life-changing result. Your orthodontist will be able to advise you on the best types of braces for teeth for your child's individual needs.
Here is our pick of three different types of braces that could give your child beautiful straight teeth.
Old-fashioned braces use elastic ties - which can cause painful friction - to hold the straightening wire in place. The ties are also prone to collecting plaque, which can be unpleasant.
Damon braces are more comfortable because they use a unique slide mechanism to keep the wire in place.
This means the teeth can move more freely, which makes your child's braces more comfortable and speeds up treatment time. Download our free Teeth Straightening Guide For Kids to learn more.
Damon braces are strong, durable and easy to keep clean.
Unlike very noticeable traditional braces, Damon metal braces use smaller, more discrete metal brackets, which give a subtle look.
Damon Clear ceramic braces have all the benefits of Damon metal braces.
But, because they use ceramic instead of metal brackets, they're almost-invisible so most people won't notice your child is wearing them.
This means your child does not have to worry about feeling self-conscious or standing out from the crowd.
As with Damon metal braces, Damon Clear work quickly. Compared with other orthodontic options, treatment times are usually relatively short. Compared with traditional braces and "invisible" aligners, patients need to see their orthodontist less often for "maintenance" visits.
On average, Damon patients need seven fewer visits to the dental practice during treatment than patients who have traditional orthodontic treatment, the company adds.
As the name suggests, it's difficult to tell when people are wearing "invisible" braces. Removable, invisible braces are generally not suitable for younger children but may be suitable for some teenagers.
Invisible braces can be taken out for brushing teeth and eating. For best results the patient should wear their retainers for 20-22 hours a day.
With this treatment, we take an impression of the patient's teeth or a digital 3D scan and, on a computer screen, we show you the gradual movement of the teeth as they move into their final, straight positions. We then give the patient several sets of tailor-made plastic aligners. They wear a set of aligners for two weeks at a time. Each set slowly pushes their teeth into the final position.
Within months, your child can have beautiful, straight teeth.
