Bahraini Authorities refer Nabeel Rajab to Prosecution for Letter Published in Le Monde
Next Bahrain: Court of Appeal Ignores Torture Allegations, Upholds Three Death Sentences
Previous Rights groups condemn police violence in Diraz
21 December 2016 – Bahraini authorities have today interrogated imprisoned human rights defender Nabeel Rajab on allegations stemming from a letter he recently published in the French newspaper Le Monde. The undersigned NGOs condemn in the strongest possible terms any further legal action against Rajab for exercising his fundamental right to free expression and call on the Government of Bahrain to secure his immediate release.
According to a spokesperson for the Department of Anti-Corruption, Economy, Security, and Electronics, the Ministry of the Interior's Cybercrime Unit has removed Rajab from custody in order to question him over the contents of a Le Mondearticle published in his name on 19 December. The Cybercrime Unit has accused Rajab of using the article to "spread false information and tendentious rumors" that insult Bahrain and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states" and harm their relations.
In the article, Rajab writes: "In September, when I wrote an open letter to the US administration, the Bahraini government brought new charges of damaging Bahrain's reputation against me." He added, "France and Germany, you need to reassess your relationship with these monarchies, which actively work against democracy and human rights and fan the flames of violence and extremism…My trial is not exceptional, it is ordinary. Thousands of Bahrainis are in prison for voicing criticism and demonstrating against the government, and thousands more have been murdered across the Arab world for daring to exercise their right to self-determination. That is truly appalling."
Sayed Ahmed AlWadaei, Director of Advocacy at the Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy (BIRD) said, "As Nabeel Rajab exposes the thin skin of the Bahraini government he continues to pay the price for exercising his right to free opinion. If France does not speak up against Bahrain's outrageous actions, its silence will be seen as a betrayal of human rights by the supposed champions of free speech in Europe."
Rajab, president of BCHR, has been detained since June 2016 on separate charges related to his use of Twitter, including comments discussing torture in Bahrain and criticizing the Saudi-led military intervention in Yemen. If convicted of these charges, he could face up to 15 years in prison. Moreover, as Rajab noted in his Le Monde article, Bahraini authorities issued an additional 1-year charge against him for another letter published in the New York Times in September.
"Nabeel Rajab's recent letters remind us of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Letter from a Birmingham Jail," said Husain Abdulla, Executive Director of Americans for Democracy & Human Rights in Bahrain (ADHRB). "Like King, Nabeel is a true champion of human rights. President Obama rightfully admires Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights activists for their struggle to secure equality in the United States, and his administration must recognize that same principled fortitude in the face of repression here, in Nabeel's case. President Obama must take clear action by suspending arms sales to Bahrain immediately and repeat his call for his Nabeel's immediate release"
The right to freedom of expression is protected under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the latter of which Bahrain acceded to in 2006. We, the undersigned organizations, call on the Government of Bahrain to respect the right to freedom of speech and release Nabeel Rajab and immediately drop all charges against him. We also strongly urge the Government of France to publicly call for Nabeel Rajab's release and the release of all other prisoners of conscience in Bahrain.

Immigration Policy the Wong Way (Sorry)
Posted By Mari Herreras on Wed, Jun 30, 2010 at 10:55 PM
In The Arizona Republic, Barry Wong talks up a proposal he wants to bring up if chosen by voters to return to the Arizona Corporation Commission: If you're an illegal immigrant living in Arizona ... no power, water, natural-gas or phone service for you.
The Range is tired of this anti-immigration campaign strategy.
Wong made an unsuccessful run for the office in 2008; let's see if this works for him this year:
One immigrant advocate quickly cast the statement as political posturing, a bid for votes in an election season already charged by the immigration issue. But Wong insisted he has a financial motivation.
"There is a cost ratepayers shouldn't have to bear because of the illegal-immigrant population," Wong said.
Although the Corporation Commission elections are usually mired in arcane policy discussions, the state's hot-button immigration debate has now twice found its way into the 2010 campaign. This time, the discussion could lead to action.
When the Los Angeles City Council voted in May to boycott Arizona over its new immigration law, Corporation Commissioner Gary Pierce, who is running for re-election, sent a sarcastic letter to the LA mayor suggesting his city stop taking power from Arizona power plants. It was an empty threat because Arizona regulators can't shut off power to Los Angeles.
But if Wong were elected, it would take only his request to begin a study of the idea and put the issue before the commission. And it would take two other votes on the five-member board to implement such a proposal

Alojz Konec builds his surface with the help of colour spots and blurs that vary in shape and form, giving the entire painting an impression of movement as a result of disintegration of form on colour, which becomes the only morfological factor and takes over the role of light.
Composition and rhythm complement each other perfectly, thus giving the additional effect on the piece. The rhythm is gradually and proportionally increased with radicalisation towards the abstract.
It is essential to link the affinity of rhythm and composition with music due to the artist's laying of colour spots and blurs as notes, creating rhythm in the form of tact and composing them into greater, melodically effective multicoloured clusters.
Distant echoes of motifs, parallel to those of Cézanne, Matisse and Bonard, portray an exceptional ˝patina˝ to still life and landscape of Alojz Konec.
The nostalgic reminiscing of the long faded "velvet figures", as Konec names it, is reflected in the optimistic, mediteranean-like glow and the mild scale of colours that follows the nuances of seasons.

Casino Canberra expansion sent for revision by ACT Government
Fri, Dec 14, 10:50am by Staff Writer
Aquis Entertainment, owners of Casino Canberra, have been told to revise its multi-million dollar expansion plans after being unable to progress their current proposal with the ACT government.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr issued a statement on Wednesday stating that the unsolicited bid would not progress in its 'current form' citing a lack of financial details provided and conditions imposed on Aquis Entertainment's proposal.
He added the Aquis had been asked to consider progressing with a smaller redevelopment.
Rejection of plans by ACT government comes three years after submission
The casino has felt discontent with the government's treatment of its proposed redevelopment since the group's announcement of a $330 million dollar transformation of the Glebe Park precinct. The redevelopment was set to include a new convention centre, hotels and high end designer shopping.
The rejection of Aquis' plans has taken place three years after this proposal.
Aquis' Chief Executive Officer Jessica Mellor provided a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange stating "Aquis continues to believe the the development of an integrated entertainment precinct in Canberra's CBD offers Canberra and the ACT a once in a lifetime tourism infrastructure opportunity."
As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, she added "we are pleased that the government has indicated its desire to continue progressing discussions and we look forward to doing so."
In relation to the Aquis not providing the requisite financial information as part of their proposal, Ms Mellor said that they were unable to do so without the government telling Aquis what it would require in taxes, legislation and license fees.
However, it is understood that the government could not provide this information until the unsolicited bid has progressed through to the next stage.
Pokies restriction to 200 machines a point of contention in proposal
One of the contentious points of the proposal is that Aquis is requesting 500 poker machines in the expanded casino, whilst the current legislative framework has a limit of 200.
The ACT Legislative Assembly stated the redevelopment proposal requires the casino to adopt harm-minimisation measures, including mandatory pre-commitment and $2 maximum bets.
In August, it was announced Ms Mellor had resigned from her post as CEO where she will leave her position in February 2019.
Revenue for the first half of 2018 was at $12,317,421, 3.6% down on the same period last year.
Ms Mellor has been a part of the Aquis group since 2013 and was appointed CEO of Aquis Entertainment in 2016.
The ACT government has put a stop to the proposed redevelopment of Casino Canberra, saying the multi-million dollar expansion cannot proceed in its "current form". Via @D_JervisBardy and @kirstenlawsonCThttps://t.co/W0UXidJuvX
— Canberra Times (@canberratimes) December 12, 2018
Aquis Entertainment specialise in the development and operation of integrated resort projects that concentrate a wide range of tourism-orient attractions into single, large-scale facilities.
Casino Canberra was acquired by Aquis Entertainment in late 2014, where Aquis spent $14 million in refurbishing its facilities.
The redevelopment proposal from Aquis has been pitched for a complete modernisation and upscaling of the casino.
The project, has been planned to be executed in two stages across a five-year development period includes:
A new, expanded casino with international standard VIP facilities
Six-star luxury villas
A five-star hotel
Seven new restaurants
Day spa and resort pool
Luxury retail shopping mall
A nightclub and bars
Expanded parking and road infrastructure
Aquis Entertainment is an Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) listed company. It's share price as of yesterday was $0.029. Since November 20, the share price has gone up $0.09, growth of nearly 50%.
It was priced as high $0.210 back in December 2011.
Aquis is steadfast in the economic benefits the expansion will have on the Canberra region and they will need to decide on the best plans to re-submit their proposal in order to receive government approval.

Women In Marketing Interview | Roanna Moodley from Pioneer Group
With dreams to be a Doctor, Roanna got bit by the marketing bug after seeing a Coca-Cola ad. From thereon, she threw away her invincible stethoscope and today has her pulse on Pioneer Group's marketing function as its Head of Marketing. Let's dive into this segment of Women In Marketing 🇿🇦
"The support for single moms is not provided in most companies and children are often left to live without their moms due to moms not having the right support to keep them"
Roanna Moodley
THE JOURNEY TAKEN
Tell us a little bit about yourself and your career in marketing? How'd you end up at Pioneer Group?
It started when I was a radio presenter and producer at the SABC and quickly learnt how important marketing was to promote my shows and gigs. From then my love for marketing grew. I completed my Marketing Management with IMM GSM and then went on to do my Honours in Business Administration.
My career in marketing has been immensely exciting. I have worked as a Social Media Manager, Accounts Manager, Marketing Manager and now Head of Marketing. I have been blessed to market some of the most powerful brands and companies both globally and nationally. I was headhunted for my role at The Pioneer Group and was tasked with re-branding and marketing the company and its sub-companies.
You have accumulated an envious amount of experience having worked for top-tier companies such as Discovery, TBWA as well as Jonsson Workwear. What did you learn from these roles and how do you apply experiences in your current role at Pioneer Group?
I think it is very important to create value. It is such an important long term investment that truly pays great dividends. Having worked for these large corporates, I have seen that there is a common thread which flows. They all serve their customers by providing value, creating needs, being innovative and always being people-centric.
What have you learned at Pioneer Group that you had not learned at previous companies?
I gained detailed insight and research analysis on our primary target market, which is the South African black market. I understand their communication structure, culture and behaviours so much better now, which has enabled me to market better. Furthermore, and most importantly, I learnt how to manage my debt better, which is the core business at The Pioneer Group
What made you fall in love with the world of marketing? What particular moment in time pushed you to pursue this as a career? After all, we all wanted to be Doctor's growing up, right?
I actually always wanted to be a doctor too — and even went on to study it for a year and a half after deciding to switch!
I am a believer in making and helping people and things look and feel beautiful. So it made sense for me to go into marketing. I also have an ever-learning mind, which I think is so important to survive in marketing, as it is constantly changing and growing. The moment I knew I wanted to be a marketer was when I was watching TV and an ad played, I would often watch ads and say "I could do that", so when I saw a Coca Cola smile advert, I truly believed I could make people fall in love with my work just how Coca Cola did for me!
ENTERING THE WORKPLACE
What does your typical day of work look like? How does your calendar look and are you a coffee or tea kind of person?
My day starts with God, water, motivational videos and music.
Then I dive into my day doing all things marketing. I love mentoring, so I am heavily involved in training and developing my teams. I also train people on leadership and business skills. I absolutely love vlogging — so I vlog for my YouTube channel dFrontRo with Roanna Moodley weekly where I share beauty and wisdom tips. And on the weekends, I dance (Bharatanatyam) and play with my family!
I have coffee in the morning and tea in the evening. Everyday I try to learn something new, so life can be quite interesting for me on most days.

Forbes has an annual 'The World's Most Influential CMOs' report. For the year 2019, one of the key highlights from the report was that 31 of the 50 CMOs were women whilst there were 19 men. In your opinion, is this a positive representation of gender equality
Oh yes for sure. Any change like this is a good thing. For a long time, women were not afforded the opportunities that we have now. However, I think we still have a long way to go to really cement us, females, as being represented equally. Women are still underpaid, compared to men globally, which is a battle we must still win. These stats are very encouraging, which shows our time is here, and we are ready!
Closely linked to the previous question, several studies reveal that women account for the majority of purchase decisions including traditional male products such as automobiles, consumer electronics as well as home improvement products. Despite this, surveys further show that advertisers still do not understand women. Why do you think this is the case and what should change if research says that 50 of the most influential CMOs are in fact, women?
With any kind of research, the first step is to truly understand what is required and then how we will obtain the desired results. Most of the big decision-makers are still males, who do not understand the market. This shortfall is the reason advertisers don't understand women because most advertising agencies are led by male CEOs.
Systems around remote work and video conferencing are increasingly becoming a staple to most organisations. To illustrate this, according to the infographic created by Visual Capitalist, Zoom is now worth more than the 7 biggest airlines in the world at a whopping market capitalization of just over $40bn. Working from home/remote working is an aspect of modern-day work that has been long overdue. Why do you think most organisations who are seemingly able to convert to this way of work have struggled to convert? Furthermore, how have you and your organisation structured your work since the COVID-19 pandemic? Any key lessons?
Change is not easy. The biggest lesson Covid-19 has taught us, is to be adaptive in nature, innovative and proactive. A successful company is one that is not averse to change, and comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Human nature does not like change, and hence companies struggle to transition as managing and motivating teams towards a new norm is challenging. Costing is a huge factor too. Most South African small businesses don't have the capital to move their teams remotely because they simply don't have the money.
As a mother, how has the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the way you work? Furthermore, should organisations be cognisant of mothers? Is enough being done to cater to new parents, specifically mothers?
I think we still have a long way to go to make our dominant male senior leaders understand what it takes to be a working mom. Working from home, with a child is extremely challenging, but we find an in-between calm the longer you do it. I think corporate leaders still have a long way to go in truly finding innovative ways to accommodate working moms.
As a mom, I am still expected to deliver, and work at an optimum level and not bring my personal matters to the boardroom. While this is good most times, it doesn't work in times of emergency or if you are a single mom. The support for single moms is not provided in most companies and children are often left to live without their moms (especially in the black community) due to moms not having the right support to keep them. I think we have a lot of work to do, to find an innovative way to support moms who also want to be power career women.
What have been some of Pioneer Group biggest successes in marketing over the past 12 to 18 months?
I think the re-branding and forming of the group with its sub-companies
BCG published its innovation report for 2019 and at the core of its selection criteria are companies that have successfully married Artificial Intelligence in their products and services. According to you, what makes something innovative? How do you define innovation at Pioneer Group?
Innovation is something that is unique, never done before or different. It is something that makes one go "wow". AI is the future and we have jumped on board by introducing bots on our website. We want to strive to reach people via innovative mediums
At the time of publishing, an article from The Digital Marketing Institute estimated that the influencer marketing industry will hit the $10bn mark by 2020. Whether it is B2B or B2C, it is evident that brands and organisations have had their own success with this model of marketing. How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect this industry going forward and do you believe there is still a place for influencer marketing?
We have all been hit negatively by COVID-19 (except Amazon who made billions!), but we have to be ever-changing and analyze the response to new strategies as we go along. I think influencer marketing still has a strong pull online.
What apps/software/tools can't you live without?
Editing and Office Tools
Book Apps
Basically my MacBook!
What do you see as some of the major trends in digital in the next 12 to 18 months?
Short videos for sure, and real authentic content creation (whether it is storytelling, original ideas etc)
What's your smartest work-related shortcut or productivity hack?
Using my notebook every day to plan my week and asking Google to remind me daily on what I NEED TO GET DONE!
What are you currently reading? (What do you read, and how do you consume information? Physical book vs eReader?)
'JUMP' by Steve Harvey
What is on your Netflix watchlist/How do you relax?
'Pretty Little Liars' (I love Shay Mitchell)
A unique message for all young professionals in the marketing industry
Do the Google courses (it's free), be involved in your craft and master it by walking the walk. Knowledge is power, so always read, watch, learn and upskill. Be Sociable, be fun and NETWORK! Have an opinion on everything! But most of all love what you do and have a blast while doing it!
What haven't you solved? What challenge is on your plate?
1000 subscribers on my youtube channel — come on — go subscribe to dFrontRo with Roanna Moodley
Any bucket list items (professional as well as personal)?
I would love to head up the marketing for a major beauty brand!
Who are some of your female heroes?
Michele Obama, Oprah, My Mom
What do you see as the single most important technology trend or development that's going to impact us?
AI for sure. We are making everything smart, houses, cars, phones!
Never give up, no matter your circumstance

September 22, 2016 Reynolds Journalism Institute News Releases
Alfred Friendly Fellowship Program Formalizes Partnership with School
Memorandum Builds on Strong Foundation of Caring About International News Coverage
Columbia, Mo. (Sept. 22, 2016) — Alfred Friendly Press Partners and the Missouri School of Journalism formalized a partnership that brings together the world's first journalism school with a journalism fellowship program that's trained more than 300 reporters, editors and broadcasters from 82 countries since 1984.
Missouri School of Journalism Dean David Kurpius welcomes the class of 2016 fellows at the Stueve Siegel Hanson law firm in Kansas City.
Missouri School of Journalism Dean David Kurpius and Alfred Friendly Foundation President Randall Smith announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding during an event held for the class of 2016 fellows at the Stueve Siegel Hanson law firm in Kansas City.
The purpose of the memorandum is to continue to develop and expand a framework of cooperation between the independent foundation and the university to develop mutually beneficial programs.
Missouri journalism faculty members have been training fellows for years, and in January 2014 the Alfred Friendly Foundation moved the fellowship program from Washington, D.C., to the Missouri School of Journalism. The office is in the Reynolds Journalism Institute, which engages media professionals and scholars in programs aimed at strengthening journalism in the service of democracy. Smith is the Donald W. Reynolds Endowed Chair in Business Journalism and began his involvement with the fellowship program two decades ago when he was an editor at The Kansas City Star.
"We think it's a great partnership," Kurpuis said. "It's one that will build on a strong foundation of caring about international news coverage, something we've done since our founding in 1908, when Walter Williams made sure there were two Chinese students in the first graduating class."
Kurpuis said the joint effort will amplify the benefits to both parties.
Alfred Friendly Foundation Chairman Jonathan Friendly meets with Missouri School of Journalism Dean David Kurpius (fifth from left) and the 2016 class of fellows.
"The mutual benefit that we get out of it, and the resources that we share, the support that we provide each other and the opportunities to help train and have these wonderful fellows in our school and then out in journalism organizations across the country is one that would be very difficult to replicate in any other way. We look forward to building this out," he said.
Alfred Friendly Foundation Chairman Jonathan Friendly, whose parents established the fellowship program 32 years ago, said the partnership with the Missouri School of Journalism coincides with an expansion of the fellowship program's scope.
"We decided we're not just training individual journalists to be excellent," Friendly said. "We're going to lift up journalism around the world. It's a larger aspiration. We cannot have that aspiration without Randy Smith and without the Missouri School of Journalism. It is the combination of those forces that makes me so deeply optimistic."
Donald W. Reynolds Endowed Chair in Business Journalism Randy Smith talks with 2016 fellow Olena Goncharova from Ukraine.
The Alfred Friendly Fellows go through two weeks of hands-on training at the Missouri School of Journalism in March. The fellows will have another two weeks of training at the Missouri School of Journalism in July and a final seminar in Washington, D.C., in September. The fellows work for five months in U.S. newsrooms as staff reporters. The quality of the training and the duration of the fellowship create a transformative experience for young reporters and editors, which sets the Alfred Friendly program apart from other journalism fellowship programs.
To broaden the impact of the fellowship, participants are required to develop training plans that they implement for their colleagues when they return to their home newsrooms. Graduates typically make a profound impact on journalism in their countries.

Sinn Féin will take Rossport case back to Europe if necessary - Mary Lou McDonald
Sinn Féin National Chairperson and MEP for Dublin Mary Lou McDonald has today vowed to "bring the Rossport case back to the European Parliament if necessary".
Ms McDonald made her comments after two reports were launched yesterday concerning the controversial Corrib Gas pipeline in Co Mayo.
Speaking today Ms McDonald said:
"Yesterday's published reports on the Corrib Gas pipeline suggest that danger to the local community is minimal. However, local people and a number of experts in the field have disputed these findings.
"It now seems certain that Shell Ireland will be allowed to begin work on the pipeline as long as 'certain safety conditions are met'. The people of Rossport are rightly concerned by this whole process, which saw five members of their community jailed last year for refusing to allow a dangerous pipeline to be run through their community and their refusal to bend the knee to multinational companies to exploit Irish national resources.
"Sustained pressure in Ireland and across Europe helped secure the men's release from jail and it is essential that the momentum is now built upon to ensure that there is a widespread campaign of opposition to the imposition of a dangerous gas pipeline through the community of Rossport.
"Sinn Féin stands beside the community of Rossport and we are committed to assisting the community in any way possible over the coming months. We have raised this issue in the European Parliament on numerous occasions through speeches and questions to the European Commission to ensure that those in power are aware of this injustice and that there are many people in Co Mayo and across Ireland who are prepared to make a stand against it.". ENDS

The Indian Poker Series (TIPS) is currently making its debut at the Kings Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. It was the first edition of this tournament and was scheduled between 15-20 August, with Indian players being kept in mind, especially those who generally can't afford the high buy-ins that are associated with tournaments in Europe and other parts of the world.
The series was planned out by Indian poker players Jaydeep Dawer and Manish Goenka, and Goenka himself has found a spot among the pay-outs in one of the early tournaments. Yesterday, we reported news of Petr Hora winning the opening event. Now, we have news from the Turbo Noon Freezeout tournament, a one-day event that concluded yesterday.
24 entries registered to this freezeout tournament which had a buy-in of just €80, as the tournament promised buy-ins as much as those one would expect from tournaments in Goa. Only 3 places were paid out in this turbo tournament, of which Manish Goenka grabbed the last spot.
Russian poker player Mikhail Ivanov shipped the tournament, beating Germany's Markus Sebastian Borel in heads-up and winning a prize of €912 (~INR 72,700) for first place. Borel was awarded €547 (~INR 43,600) for finishing second, while Goenka took away €365 (~INR 29,100) for third-place.
The Main Event also kicked off at the Kings Casino, which is the largest casino in Europe. The tournament has an advertised buy-in of €100,000 and a total of 85 entries (67 players+18 re-entries) registered on Day 1a. At the end of the day's play, 25 survivors bagged up to return on Day 2.
Among these survivors were 11 Indian players, including Roshan Romeo Rodrigues, Sunny Sunny, Ankit Saxena, Durga Deepak Botta, Varun Gupta, Gaurav Maganlal Gala, Denish Ashok Desai, Varun Ganjoo, Anish Patra, Zarvan Tumboli and Udaysinh Mohanrao Patil. All of these will be aiming for the top prize in this tournament, which is yet to be calculated.

While prototyping my image upload canvas application for the contact form the other day, I ran into something that is probably just a quirk of the preview implementation, but you may want to be aware of this behavior when doing something similar in the meantime.
And, then, you should be able to use LookUp/Filter functions on the SharePoint datasource (assuming you store record ID-s in a separate column there, for instance).
Maybe there is a better option? Let me know.
When do you turn on the timer? in what event?
I used Auto start "ON". Auto pause "ON". Repeat "OFF".


If you feel like experimenting, try using cashews or pecans in place of the almonds.
Using spice mill or coffee grinder, coarsely grind rice and transfer to a 2-qt. airtight container. Coarsely grind coffee beans and place in same container as rice. Add almonds, cinnamon stick, and 4 cups water. Cover and let soak in refrigerator overnight.
Bring sugar and ¼ cup water to a boil in a small saucepan, swirling pan occasionally to dissolve sugar, about 3 minutes. Transfer simple syrup to a heatproof container; cover and chill until cool, at least 30 minutes.
Transfer rice mixture to a blender and blend until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Sweeten latte to taste with simple syrup and add salt. Serve over ice.
Do Ahead: Latte can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Ryanair counts cost of Omicron-driven 'sudden downturn' in bookings
The airline has slashed its capacity for January by a third and warned that annual losses will be more than double the level of those previously forecast.
Wednesday 22 December 2021 18:23, UK

Ryanair has revealed a "sudden downturn" in Christmas bookings has prompted it to slash January flights and pencil in annual losses more than twice as large as previously expected.
The Dublin-based airline disclosed the figures as it outlined the financial impact of the Omicron variant and recent government restrictions designed to tackle its spread.
It said it now expected to report an annual loss of €250-450m (£212-383m) for the year to the end of March, up from €100-200m (£85-170m) previously given as guidance.
Image: Michael O'Leary has claimed the UK government's response to Omicron is shaped by panic
The update is the latest to highlight the impact of Omicron on the travel sector, with Tui warning earlier this month that it could cut capacity as bookings weakened.
Heathrow has said that a "high level" of business travellers worrying about new testing requirements have been cancelling flights.
Last week, Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary told the Guardian that the UK government's response to the new variant had been shaped by "panic" and "idiots".
In an update on Wednesday, the airline said: "The Omicron COVID variant and recent government travel restrictions across Europe have notably weakened close-in Christmas and New Year bookings.
"This sudden downturn has also caused Ryanair this week to cut its planned January schedule capacity by 33%."
Ryanair pointed to the recent restrictions on UK travel to France and Germany and the suspension of all EU flights to and from Morocco.
'Dramatic effect' of new travel rules on bookings
It said it now expected December traffic of 9-9.5 million, down from a prior forecast of 10-11 million and January numbers at 6-7 million, down from 10 million.
"In light of the current uncertainty about the Omicron variant, and intra Europe travel restrictions, no schedule cutbacks have yet been decided for February or March 2022," Ryanair added.
"These schedules will be revisited in January as more scientific information becomes available on the Omicron variant, its impact on hospitalisations, European population and/or travel restrictions in February or March."
Ryanair said that for its full year it now expected to have flown just under 100 million passenger trips, down from previous guidance of just over 100 million - but that "these figures are hugely sensitive to any further positive or negative COVID news flow".

Q: How to use multiple base images with Docker? I want to run my unit tests against the latest versions of PHP and Node, which means I need both installed into one image for it to work with Bitbucket Pipelines.
What I've been doing until now is to pick one or the other as my base, and then manually install the other. e.g., I've started with php:5.6-fpm as my base, and then installed Node:
# Dockerfile
FROM php:5.6-fpm

RUN docker-php-ext-install bcmath
RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | bash -
RUN apt-get install -y git mercurial unzip nodejs
RUN npm set progress=false
RUN php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
RUN php -r "if (hash_file('SHA384', 'composer-setup.php') === 'e115a8dc7871f15d853148a7fbac7da27d6c0030b848d9b3dc09e2a0388afed865e6a3d6b3c0fad45c48e2b5fc1196ae') { echo 'Installer verified'; } else { echo 'Installer corrupt'; unlink('composer-setup.php'); } echo PHP_EOL;"
RUN php composer-setup.php --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer
RUN php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Is there any way to utilize both PHP and Node for my image, and then install some stuff on top of that (e.g. Composer and Yarn)?

A: You could create a image and commit it either only locally on your machine by:
docker commit <container-id> image-name:tagname
from: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/commit/
then later use this image in new Dockerfile using FROM image-name:tagname
Everything that you will add to new Dockerfile will be stacked on top of that image you created with PHP and Node.js
Sometimes you could create several layers of images that will progress with different processes and functions. Very good reference is: https://hub.docker.com/u/million12/
So you can create a base image with PHP and then another using PHP image that has Node.js installed on it and then another with composer.
If you wish to export your images from your local machine you should register on docker hub and export to it or alternative service like quay.io
Hope that answered your question.

ANTIFA Sean D. Kealiher (Armeanio Lewis) Run Over And Killed By SUV
Activist killed after crash, shooting in NE Portland; death investigated as homicide
PORTLAND, Ore — Police have identified a man who was killed in connection with a crash and shooting in Northeast Portland early Saturday morning. The 23-year-old man's name is Sean D. Kealiher. He also went by the name Armeanio Lewis. Police say Kealiher died of blunt force trauma. They are investigating his death as a homicide.At around 12:15 a.m. Saturday, Portland police responded to reports of gunfire in the area of Northeast 8th Avenue and Davis Street. Officers found an SUV crashed into the side of a commercial building. There was evidence that gunshots were fired at the vehicle, police said. No one was around when officers arrived. A short time later, police learned an injured person, identified as Kealiher, was dropped off at a local hospital. He died at the hospital. In a press release Saturday afternoon, police said Kealiher suffered critical injuries after the crash. Police have not released more information about the crash, or the events leading up to it. Kealiher was a self proclaimed anarchist who was involved in protests after the 2016 election. Today people began to leave candles and flowers outside the building where Kealiher was hit at Northeast 9th and Everett. It's the building that houses the Democratic Party of Oregon. The Executive Director doesn't know any link between the Democratic Party and Kealiher's death. "This is a tragedy in our community" said Brad Martin. The Oregonian reports he was hit after leaving Cider Riot, a bar popular with left-wing activists and the scene of a brawl between left wing and right wing activists earlier this year. Source


Note: Scholarships of AUD$35,000 + (2) DoD top-ups of $10,000 are available for PhD students who achieved H1 /High Distinction in their undergraduate program and/or have completed a Masters by Research. If you are interested, contact me at j.galliott@adfa.edu.au.
Dr. Jai Galliott holds multiple appointments. He is Leader of the Values in Defence & Security Technology Group within School of Engineering and Information Technology of the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy, Non-Resident Fellow of the Modern War Institute at the United States Military Academy (West Point) and Visiting Fellow with the Centre for Technology & Global Affairs at the University of Oxford.
Galliott initially trained as a Principal Warfare Officer in Her Majesty's Royal Australian Navy, but honourably resigned his commission in 2007 to pursue an academic career unavailable to him in the services, and has since received numerous degrees, the first a Bachelor of Arts (with High Distinction) in philosophy and sociology from Macquarie University in Sydney, where he won the inaugural Communities of Enquiry Prize. He then secured an Honours Scholarship from Charles Sturt University, receiving Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with First Class Honours for a dissertation on the ethics and efficacy of military robotics and, finally, completed his tertiary education with a PhD on the ethical and social implication of autonomous systems from Macquarie University, supported by an Australian Postgraduate Award. Galliott was the first person in Macquarie University's history to submit a full book manuscript as a thesis-by-publication for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, which was awarded without corrections.
He held appointments in the Department of Philosophy at Macquarie University from 2012-2015. From 2015-2016, he was a listed researcher on half-a-million-dollar grant awarded to the School of Social Sciences at the University of New South Wales at Kensington by the Australian Department of Defence for the provision of advice on the tactical and strategic issues associated with the rapid uptake of emerging military technologies and their potential impact upon the Australian Defence Force. During this project, Galliott developed a strong research partnership with the Department of Defence and developed a series of original research articles on the implications of autonomous systems and the broader impact of technology upon the personnel and force structure of the services in response to their stated needs. Galliott then again held appointments at Macquarie University and was later offered a highly competitive Sêr Cymru II Fellowship, part funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) COFUND scheme, for a project that was to critically analyse how cumulative technological innovations in the security and defence space have elevated the role of individuals – particularly warfighters, politicians and technologists – in modern virtual and remote conflict, challenging existing concepts, doctrines, risk frameworks and military/non-military actors themselves. Grateful for the offer, he instead assumed his current role at the Australian Defence Force Academy. Galliott also operates a private defence consultancy firm, DefenceTech Consulting and, earlier in his career, received competitive funding from the Australian Army and the Defence Science & Technology Group of the Australian Department of Defence to conduct research and prepare reports for military stakeholders on autonomous systems, soldier enhancement, cyber warfare and related topics.
His work is concerned with how technological innovations in the defence and security space have enabled a shift away from industrialised warfare, toward a new form of individualised distance conflict that, while offering important benefits, challenges existing concepts, doctrines, risk frameworks and military/non-military actors themselves in ways that are not always obvious from the study of single technologies. He is particularly interested in examining the origins of these challenges in the remnant tensions between the moral, legal, political, technical and strategic needs of the relevant stakeholders, as well as reconciling some of these tensions by devising and deploying an analytical frameworks grounded in applied-social sciences to inform public debate on emerging military technologies and, innovatively, offer value-sensitive guidance to civilian and military policy-makers and technical designers.
He has been invited to speak on the topic of autonomous systems at prestigious government and non-government forums across the world, including Oxford University, the Halifax International Security Forum, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and expert meetings convened by the United Nations at the Palace of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. He is also an associate of the Consortium on Emerging Technologies, Military Operations, and National Security (CETMONS), the US Navy Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER), the Programme on the Regulation of Emerging Technologies at the University of Melbourne, and is a member of the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies (IEET). He regularly contributes to the work of international media outlets, including CNN, ABC Television and the BBC World Service. He is Lead Editor of the Routledge book series on Emerging Technologies, Ethics and International Affairs, as well Associate Editor of IEEE Technology & Society Magazine.
Galliott's AGSVA security clearance was last reviewed in March 2017.


Sorcha Faulkner is an illustrator and designer, who often brings elements of wildlife into her work. Here she talks about her work, and her inspiration! After you've read her blog, don't forget to enter the competition to win a beautiful print!
I have always loved drawing. At school, art was my favourite subject and I've just finished a degree in illustration from the Cambridge School of Art. I've also done a few exhibitions in London and built a website to get my work out there, but I'm still fairly new to drawing professionally.
I've entered some competitions, volunteered to do some design work for my university and I've worked for a few weeks at the greetings card company Hallmark, so at the minute I'm trying to get as much experience as I can in the field! But I still take some days off to go walking or to go to exhibitions. I love to go walking, even if it's just a stroll along my local canal. Woodlands and moorlands are also favourites of mine. Wherever I am, I try to find circular walks that allow me to see some countryside or open land. It's also a bonus if I know I'll find some wildlife, and have certain places I know I will see certain wildlife; my favourite is a walk where I always see red kites. But I don't always go anywhere special to get my ideas; anywhere outdoors will do!
As an artist, I know it's important to keep inspired and I'm always sketching and drawing ideas for projects before making collages and working on my computer to create any final artwork. Sometimes it can be as simple as the colours of nature that inspire me. Autumn is my favourite time of year so the oranges, mustards and burgundy of the changing leaves have inspired my work.
Other times I will take entire forms, such as birds, animals and plants and base work around them. I love all nature and try to include a variety in my work, from mushrooms to hares! I love to draw plants, so leaves and flowers often crop up. All kinds of birds also seem to appear in my work, at the moment I am working on a personal project, a series of garden bird illustrations. But I can't draw every day: I have to answer emails and keep on top of paperwork.
I have always loved nature, animals and the outdoors, so it seemed only natural that I would work on this subject. It's important to work on something you're passionate about: it keeps you interested in a project and excited to see what the final piece will look like. It also means that you are more likely to get jobs that interest you and clients you admire. For one of my university projects I made a piece based on the Oxford Junior Dictionary, removing natural words like blackberry, primrose and magpie, and replacing them with words such as blog, chat room and voicemail. Here, it was my love for nature and the importance that I think it has, that made me want to produce the work I have.
One thing I've learnt is to always stick with it! I believe anyone can draw but some just stop practicing and think that they can't. Practice and patience are essential! Keep sketchbooks and draw everything and anything that inspires you!


Is there anybody who found all 31 hidden wells?
The map is accurate and I thank the person that uploaded it very much.
-if you open a well you see a counter "you opened 27/31 wells"
-in your DNA menu/additional memory you can see 22/22 lookouts, 100/100 animus data fragments and so on, but the hiddens wells are not there.
-if you found/completed all the lookouts, animus data fragments, scrolls and treasures the square in your DNA menu is still open.
I think the hiddens wells should have been in the additiona memories and when you find 31/31 wells the square of additional memories will fill up as with all the squares where you reach 100% sync.
I think they were not in time fitting the last four hidden wells into the game. And if I am right I really hope they fix that problem through a softwareupdate.
Or maybe one of you did find all 31? Please let me know!
This may be a longshot but maybe there are some wells in Cappadocia?
There are no wells in the underground city. At least none that I could find.
I just found a well that looks like it may have been opened with an explosive (it has the rope and a wooden plank on it), but I don't know for sure if I opened it before. It is due north of the landmark icon for the Forum of the Ox landmark you can purchase, as well as the entire landmark itself, just a few steps west of a doctor and just southwest of a bank. I don't have all the wells yet, so don't know if this is one of the ones that can be opened.

The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. It was written by Gary Gygax and published by TSR in 1982 for the first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) rules. The 64-page adventure bears the code "S4" ("S" for "special")[1] and is set in the Greyhawk campaign setting. It is divided into two parts, a 32-page adventure, and a 32-page booklet of monsters and magic items. The plot involves the player characters investigating rumors of lost treasure. After traversing a wilderness and two levels of dungeons, the players face Drelnza, the vampiric daughter of long-deceased archmage Iggwilv.
The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is a revised and expanded version of The Lost Caverns of Tsojconth, a tournament adventure that Gygax wrote for the 1976 WinterCon V gaming convention. Gygax expanded the tournament adventure by adding a wilderness area, with part of it based on earlier work by Rob Kuntz. Work on the adventure delayed the completion of The Temple of Elemental Evil, another Gygax adventure. The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was included in the 1987 supermodule Realms of Horror, and updated for v3.5 in an online edition in 2007. It was well received by critics, ranked the 22nd greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004. A White Dwarf reviewer gave the adventure 9/10, noting its difficulty and rewards of powerful magic. It is part of a series along with S1: Tomb of Horrors, S2: White Plume Mountain, S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. It also has a loosely connected sequel: The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun.[2]
1 Plot summary
2 Publication history
In the Yatil Mountains south of Perrenland there is rumored to be a magical hoard of unsurpassed value, a treasure of such fame that scores of adventurers have perished in search of it. Find the perilous Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and you may gain the hidden wealth of the long-dead arch-mage — if you live.
Cover blurb for The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth[3]:cover
The introduction, with instructions that the Dungeon Master read it aloud to the players, outlines that there is a treasure in the Yatil Mountains south of the Greyhawk realm of Perrenland. The player characters must investigate rumors of a lost treasure that scores of adventurers have perished attempting to find.[2] The treasure is a remnant of the wealth amassed by the archmage Iggwilv,[2] former ruler of Perrenland, prior to her presumed death at the hands of the demon Graz'zt, whom she had "imprisoned and forced into servitude."[3]:2 The players must first traverse a wilderness area with 20 numbered encounters before arriving at the caverns. The encounters have names such as "Border Patrol" (encounter 1) and "Hill Giants" (encounter 10). After the wilderness are two lettered encounters: the "Gnome Vale", which includes a map for their lair, and "The Craggy Dells", where humans and orcs are capturing hippogriffs to sell.
Next, the player characters reach the caverns. They consist of the "Lesser Caverns" with 22 encounters, and the "Greater Caverns" with 20 encounters, each with its own map. The lesser caverns include encounters such as "Stinking Cave" (encounter 5) which contains four trolls and "Underground Lake" (encounter 14). The greater caverns include encounters such as "Uneven-Floored Cavern" (encounter 5) where the player characters face an umber hulk and "Canyon of Centaurs" (encounter 9). The 20th and final encounter is titled "The Inner Sphere". Here, a "woman sleeps on an alabaster slab." She is "armored from toe to neck in gold chased plate mail."[3]:29 The woman is actually Drelnza, a fighter/vampire and the daughter of Iggwilv. After defeating Drelnza, the players are rewarded with treasure, and the adventure ends.
Publication history[edit]
The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth is a revised and expanded version of The Lost Caverns of Tsojconth, a tournament adventure that Gygax wrote for WinterCon V, a gaming convention sponsored by the Metro Detroit Gamers (MDG) in 1976.[4] It is based in part on one of Rob Kuntz's dungeon levels, as Kuntz helped Gygax revise the tournament version.[5] This original version consisted of eight loose sheets, an outer folder, and a zip-locked bag; only several hundred copies were printed.[4] In the May 1980 issue of Dragon, Gygax said "Rob Kuntz has the reworked Lost Caverns module which must be finalized" and that "We want to get it into print as soon as possible."[6] Lawrence Schick later suggested that "there's evidence that Gary considered Tsojcanth part of a longer Greyhawk campaign, placing the adventure between T1–T4 The Temple of Elemental Evil and WG4 The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun. (By this reckoning, The Village of Hommlet, The Temple of Elemental Evil, and Tsojcanth are thus the "lost" WG1 through WG3 modules.) So, Tsojcanth was published in the S series because it got completed out of order, but was too good to delay."[7]
In 1980, Gygax began rewriting the adventure for first edition AD&D, expanding it to include outdoor encounters. The redevelopment of The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was one of the major delays in the completion of The Temple of Elemental Evil.[8] This version of the module was revised and expanded, and included two 32-page books, and an outer folder.[4] In the November 1981 issue of Dragon, Gygax said that TSR needed a competition-level module and that "the effort needed to finish the second hundred or so pages of Elemental Evil went into preparation of The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. The scenario was initially done for a convention tournament, but the new product has an extensive outdoor adventure and a completely new series of encounters".[9] While in the middle of working on Temple of Elemental Evil, Gygax added a complete outdoor story arc to the original tournament story arc that leads to the caverns.[10] The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth includes new spells, and many new monsters which were later featured in Monster Manual II.[4]
The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun (1982) starts off from an event in The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth and features monsters from the Fiend Folio.[11] In 1987, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was revised and included in TSR's "supermodule" Realms of Horror.[12] In 2007, it was updated to v3.5 and included as one of three parts in Iggwilv's Legacy: The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, an adventure available online from Wizards of the Coast.[13]
Both versions of the module included monsters that were later included other Dungeons & Dragons products. The monsters introduced in the original un-published version were updated for AD&D rules and included in the first edition Monster Manual.[14] Monsters appearing in the published version included the demon princes Baphomet, Fraz-Urb'luu, Graz'zt, and Kostchtchie, who later appeared in the original Monster Manual II.[15] The published module's cover features an illustration of a behir by Erol Otus.[3]:cover
All four modules of the S-series were included as part of the Dungeons of Dread hardcover collection, released on March 19, 2013.[16] Lawrence Schick writes in the foreword that "S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth marked the end of the S series—and rightly so, because despite being based on a gilded-hole dungeon originally designed for a tournament in 1976, its updated version really belonged more to the '80s campaign-setting school of design than to the wild-and-woolly '70s. S1 through S3 were standalone modules that could be easily dropped into any DM's campaign, but Tsojcanth is firmly based in Gary's World of Greyhawk."[7]
The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth was favorably received by critics. Lawrence Schick, in his 1991 book Heroic Worlds, described the adventure as "A monster-filled labyrinth in the classic mode: kill 'em, rob 'em, and leave."[4] It was ranked the 22nd-greatest Dungeons & Dragons adventure of all time by Dungeon magazine in 2004, on the 30th anniversary of the Dungeons & Dragons game. Dungeon's editors felt that the "pedestrian character of the caverns echoes the adventure's primordial nature", while its complicated wilderness setting and large second booklet set it apart from other adventures of the time. The booklet introduced 30 new creatures, including the derro and the demon lords Baphomet and Graz'zt. The reviewers felt that the adventure's defining moment was when the players find Iggwilv's "fabled treasure": her vampire daughter Drelzna.[17]
Jim Bambra reviewed the adventure for White Dwarf. He gave it 9/10 overall, with 9/10 for presentation, rules, playability, enjoyment, skill, and complexity. Bambra noted that the module ended a long time off for Gary Gygax, and was "very tough" and that good play was stressed in the introduction. Sub par play quickly ended the story, but the rewards of powerful magic and the satisfaction of completing a difficult task made it worthwhile. He also noted that the adventure came with a 32-page booklet with 30 new monsters and a small amount of new magic. Not all the new creatures are featured in the plot, but they can be used by the DM in other adventures. Also, magical diagrams are given an in-depth treatment, including their creation and effectiveness.[2]

Sri Lanka: Disapearance – State Fails to Compenstate
By S.S.Selvanayagam
Parents of a disappeared youth (20) complained to the Court of Appeal against the impugned failure/refusal of the State and the Treasury Secretary to pay compensation in spite of the undertaking given by them.
Aggrieved parents S.Jegatheeswara Sharma and his wife Jessiammah in the Writ petition stated the government acknowledged that the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) had found that the State party was under an obligation to provide the Petitioners with an effective remedy, including investigation into the disappearance of their son Thevarajah.
They also stated that the government acknowledged that the said Commission had found that the State party was under an obligation to provide adequate compensation to the family for the violation suffered by their son.
They cited Treasury Secretary Dr P.B. Jayasundara, External Affairs Ministry Secretary C.R. Jayasinghe and the Attorney General as Respondents. The Writ Application was taken up for support before the Bench comprising Justices Sathya Hettige (President) and Upali Abeyrathne. The Court fixed the matter for March 16 for further submissions by the Counsel for the Petitioners.
A.R. Surendran PC with Shantha Jayawardana, V.S.Ganesalingam, N. Kandeepan instructed by Eugine Mariampillai appeared for the Petitioners while Deputy Solicitor General Shavindra Fernando appeared for the Respondents.Petitioners' son Thevarajah disappeared after abduction by members of the Army on June 23, 1990 during military operations from a garage in Trincomalee where he was employed as a qualified motor mechanic, after a training he underwent at the National Youth Services Council. Petitioners claimed that their son had been the breadwinner of the family.
Aggrieved parents brought to the notice of the relevant government authorities, agencies and officials, the said abduction and disappearance of their son and sought redress from them.
However, they did not receive any redress from any of them and the aggrieved father of the disappeared son on October 25, 1999 brought this to the notice of the UNHRC which concluded that
(i) The State had not denied that his son was abducted by an officer of Sri Lanka Army on June 23, 1990 and has remained unaccounted for since then;
(ii) The Commission therefore concludes that the State was responsible for the disappearance of his son;
(iii) His son was the victim of a violation of Article 7 of the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR);
(iv) The State has acknowledged that the arrest of his son was illegal and prohibited activity. Not only was there no legal basis for his arrest, there was no cause for the continuing detention. Such a gross violation of Article 9 of the Convention can never be justified. Clearly, in the present case, in the Commission's opinion, the facts reveal a violation of Article 9 in its entirety;
(v) Moreover, noting the anguish and stress caused to the victim's family by the disappearance of their son and by the continuing uncertainty concerning his fate, the Commission considers that the petitioner and his wife were also victims of violation of Article 7 of the Covenant
Having noted that, by becoming a party to the Optional Protocol, the State had recognized the competence of the said Commission to determine whether there had been a violation of the Covenant and pursuant to the Covenant, the State had undertaken to ensure to all individuals within its territory or subject to its jurisdiction the right recognized in the Covenant and to provide an effective and enforceable remedy in case a violation has been established, the Commission requested the State to communicate about the measures taken to give effect to the Commission's findings, the petitioners stated.
Pursuant to the said undertaking given by the Government of Sri Lanka to the UNHRC, on the advice of the Attorney General, the Foreign Affairs Ministry Secretary referred the matter to the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka (HRCSL) to make recommendations with regard to the computation of payment of compensation and the quantum thereof, the Petitioners further stated.
Although the HRCSL recommended a total sum of Rs 3,888,000 as compensation to the Petitioners, the relevant authorities have directed the Petitioners to await the conclusion of the proceedings which was pending before Eastern Province High Court wherein Corporal Sarath Jayasinghe Perera had been prosecuted for abduction and causing the disappearance of their son.
The accused Sarath Jayasinghe Perera was found guilty and sentenced to seven years Rigorous Imprisonment by the High Court on December 17 of 2008, however no step had been taken thereafter by the State and Treasury Secretary to pay the compensation due to them, the Petitioners alleged.

With a measurement resolution of 0.001 mA on its lowest range, combined with the capability of measuring currents up to 100 A on its highest range, the new Megger DCM305E is not only an ideal tool for diagnosing RCD and RCBO nuisance tripping problems, it is also an invaluable asset for general AC current measurement.
The DCM305E is easy to use and has been designed to provide accurate results even in difficult conditions. It offers true RMS (TRMS) measurement, which means that readings are unaffected by distortion in the supply waveform, and has a built-in low-pass filter that greatly improves the stability of results on circuits where high levels of harmonics or electrical noise are present.
When investigating nuisance tripping, the DCM305E allows earth leakage currents to be measured quickly, accurately and safely, since no physical connection to the circuit under test is needed. The measurements show immediately whether the problem is an overly sensitive protective device (RCD or RCBO), or an issue related to excessive earth leakage current caused, for example, by cable deterioration.
As a further aid to fast and convenient operation, a valuable compare function is provided, which has three preset leakage limits: 0.25, 0.50 and 3.5 mA. When this function is enabled, the instrument gives a visual indication and an audible warning when the preset limit is exceeded.
To facilitate its use in wider applications, the DCM305E offers six current ranges, from 6 mA up to 100 A, with a choice of auto-ranging or manual range selection. Auto hold, data hold and peak hold functions are available on all ranges. These functions are particularly useful when performing measurements in locations where access is limited.
The Megger DCM305E earth leakage clampmeter is a compact instrument that features rugged construction to ensure that it can withstand the rigours of regular on-site usage. It has 40 mm jaws suitable for use with both insulated and uninsulated conductors, and incorporates an integrated hand barrier for enhanced safety. Results are shown on large backlit 6000-count digital display, which also includes an analogue bargraph to aid trending.

Brandi Carlile with Mavis Staples at the Mann Center
Friday night I dragged my husband up to Philly to see Brandi Carlile with Mavis Staples at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts. He's a good guy and indulges my whims to travel places to see concerts even though it's not his thing. If you've been around this blog at all you know how much I love Brandi Carlile and that I've seen her many, many times in concert. Having already seen her in Baltimore this summer I probably would have skipped this one until I found out that Mavis Staples was opening. That tipped the scales and made me decide I had to go. The show being on a Friday made it totally doable.
This was my first time at the Mann Center. It's a really pretty venue. It's in the middle of a park and has a gorgeous view of downtown Philly.
Had we been in different seats I probably would have been a lot happier with it. I usually have great seats at Brandi shows because I buy them through the fan club presale, but in this case I didn't decide to go until well after tickets had gone on sale so I missed out on anything close in the orchestra level of the pavilion. In my experience usually sitting in the front row of the balcony is better than sitting in the back of the orchestra. Not so in this case. My husband called it the poor man's Filene Center (the outdoor pavilion at Wolf Trap). They do share a lot of design elements and the Mann Center was built about 10 years after the Filene Center so I do wonder if they share the same DNA. Anyway, like at the Filene Center the upper level has box seats at the front, an aisle, and then the balcony seats. At the Filene Center though the balcony is raised up enough such that people walking in the aisle are essentially below where you're sitting so they don't block your view. Not so at the Mann Center. If you're sitting the front of the balcony you just get a steady stream of people walking through the aisle in front of you (though it did taper off a lot during Brandi's set). Also the part of the balcony we were in really should have been marked as obstructed view seats anyway. That end of the venue had the ADA seating on the aisle behind the boxes. At best you had railings and empty chairs from the little ADA alcoves in your view if no one was sitting there and if anyone was actually sitting in them there was no way to see at all.
I would have been marginally less annoyed if anyone sitting in that area throughout the night actually needed ADA seating. At both Merriweather and Wolf Trap if I'm sitting in the pavilion I'm used to having to show my ticket like 80 times on my way to my seat. I remarked on the fact that we didn't have to show our ticket at all to get to our seat. Now I understand the problem with that because it was just madness. Some people who decided they didn't like their actual seats or possibly even people from the lawn (it was kind of rainy thanks to Dorian so not a great lawn night) came in and sat down. As they obviously didn't have anyone who needed ADA seating with them the usher did stop and ask, but then let them stay and told them they'd just have to move if anyone came for those seats. Then apparently some people from the lawn paid to upgrade to get into the pavilion and out of the rain and the usher just put them in those seats. Those people left early. Meanwhile back in the balcony people were just moving all over the place trying to be able to see anything. The girls who wound up sitting next to us for awhile moved down to the ADA seating when it opened up, which annoyed me the most of everything because they knew they were going to be blocking everyone's view. Once they got down there they realized there were some open seats in the box below and went down there and left me to see about 3/4 of a song as unobstructed as it was ever going to get before 3 random guys appeared from nowhere and sat there. I'm really annoyed with the venue for not indicating that the view was obstructed when I bought the tickets because I never would have bought them and also for not enforcing where people were sitting and letting people who didn't need ADA accommodations sit in those seats.
It was like the worst show to have terrible seats for too because it was so amazing. I finally realized at some point last week that I was going to see this show on the same day that The Highwomen, the new country super group Brandi Carlile is a part of along with Amanda Shires, Maren Morris, and Natalie Hemby, were releasing their album. I figured there was going to be some fun around that, but this was beyond anything I could possibly have imagined.
First up of course was Mavis Staples. She just an amazing legend. She turned 80 this year and has been doing this since was a kid as part of her family's band The Staple Singers. Now she's pretty much the only one left, and she's still out there doing her thing. She put out a new album this year and is still touring. She's joy personified and I just love her.
Brandi's set was amazing and full of so many surprises. The setlist was largely the same as when I saw her at Merriweather earlier in the summer aside from the songs she sang as collaborations with all her surprise guests. I knew she and Mavis would sing at least one song together, which they did a cover of Mavis' father, Pops Staples's, song "Friendship". What I was not expecting was Lukas Nelson joining them on the guitar. He apparently was playing the BB&T Pavilion the following night and got into town in time to come over and join Brandi for a few songs. It was obviously unclear whether he was going to make it in time because Brandi welcomed Mavis to the stage and then a stangehand walked over to her and obviously told her that Lukas Nelson was indeed in the house.
Country music legend Tanya Tucker was also there. Brandi produced her newest album and has been doing a lot of promotion of it with Tanya. So of course Tanya came out and sang "Delta Dawn". Her dog even came out on the stage at one point.
That was not nearly the end of the surprises though. Fellow Highwoman Amanda Shires flew in from Nashville for the night to help celebrate the release of The Highwomen's album. She joined in for about half of Brandi's set playing the fiddle. When she's not off doing stuff for her own career she plays in her husband Jason Isbell's band the 400 Unit. I'm always disappointed when I see him in concert and she's not there. I told my husband now I have to be disappointed every time she's not backing Brandi on the fiddle too. They finally sang some Highwomen songs as the first two songs of the encore. In between there was yet another surprise with Tan France from Queer Eye coming out on the stage and talking about how much he loves Brandi. They invited everyone back out on the stage to sing The Highwomen's first single "Redesigning Women", complete with cardboard cutouts of Maren Morris and Natalie Hemby the two Highwomen that weren't there. Then Brandi sang "If She Ever Leaves Me", which is one of the Highwomen songs that she sings. I had pretty much already figured she was going to sing at least that one. I wasn't sure about any of the other songs that are sung by the other Highwomen or as collaborations, but "Redesigning Women" makes sense because that song can be a singalong with just about anyone.
It was a magical show, and I'm so happy I went up for it. I would have been so disappointed to have decided not to go and then heard about all of the amazing things that I missed out on later. I can't wait to see Brandi again in January at the Ryman where I'm sure so much more magic will happen.
