As such, in light of all the women who have come forward with their stories of sexual abuse and harassment by film mogul Harvey Weinstein, and the resulting #METOO movement which allowed others, male and female, to also share their stories, the Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, born Connie Lim, has updated her powerful song "Quiet" about sexual assault.
A survivor herself, Milck performed the song at the Women's March on Washington anthem and it went viral — and flashmob performances of the song in Sweden, Australia and Ghana — and led to a record deal with Atlantic Records.
To further her support of sexual assault victims, Milck has also launched the #ICan'tKeepQuiet Fund, which supports three organizations: The Joyful Heart Foundation, Step Up and Tuesday Night Project. The title is based on her #ICANTKEEPQUIET movement.
Milck has reimagined the powerful piano-driven ballad with an equally potent video, featuring other survivors of sexual assault, and rush-released the song — available on her debut Atlantic Records EP This Is Not The End, set for a Jan. 19 release — with the full support and marketing muscle of Atlantic COO Julie Greenwald.
"In light of the Harvey Weinstein scandals sparking a massive movement of women and survivors speaking out against sexual assault, I find myself in awe and moved to my core," Milck wrote in a letter posted on her YouTube channel.
"Since the age of 14, I've survived several acts of sexual assault. For years, I blamed myself and secretly carried the shame. When I did realize it wasn't my fault and that I deserve to heal, I wrote a song called 'Quiet,' which went viral after I sang it with a choir on the streets @ the D.C. Women's March.
"Since then I have teamed up with Atlantic Records to create a hopeful, new version that incorporates survivors singing with me. I've seen this song help survivors speak out after the Women's March, and I believe that the new version has the power to encourage and empower all those thinking of coming forward at this time.
"Even though I was planning to release this new version of 'Quiet' in January, I believe the movement is happening now, and I want to support those breaking the silence by releasing 'Quiet' early. I'm deeply moved (Chief Operating Officer) Julie Greenwald @ Atlantic is standing beside me through this change of plan. She understands that it's my gesture of support & encouragement to all the survivors rising. It's my musical #METOO.
It begins with footage of a trans girl being harassed by younger schoolkids tugging at her skirt, and then segues into a woman submitting sexually to her abusive boyfriend, although her heart is clearly not in it. The trans girl storyline has a happier ending: both her parents accept her life choice and she ends up venturing down to a teen center, where she meets up with the abused woman and a number of other victims, as they all sing along to the chorus of Quiet with Milck, surrounded by an orchestra and playing the piano.
Eventually, they all join the singer in song, including lyrics: put on your face / know your place / shut up and smile / don't spread your legs / I could do that / But no one knows me no one ever will / if I don't say something, if I just lie still / Would I be that monster, scare them all away / If I let the-em hear what I have to say / I can't keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh..."
- The Joyful Heart Foundation, created by Law and Order: Special Victims Unit actress Mariska Hartigay. Based in Kona, Hawaii, with the intention of helping sexual assault survivors heal and reclaim a sense of joy in their lives, the Foundation has raised more than $33.4 million (U.S.) and directly impacted 18,500 individuals.
- Step Up, founded by agent and film producer Kaye Popofsky Kramer and headquartered in Los Angeles, inspires women to inspire girls, "(propelling) girls living in or going to school in under-resourced communities to fulfill their potential by empowering them to become confident, college-bound, career-focused, and ready to join the next generation of professional women.
"Dear Friend," Greenwald writes. "Last January I had the amazing experience of chartering a bus to take my daughter and a bunch of my Atlantic crew from New York to the Women's March in DC. We shared a common goal: to stand up against all forms of injustice and unite with others to make our voices heard.
"When artists use their gifts to speak out against oppression and stand up for social change, dignity and respect, the effect can be extraordinary.

Migrant Rights ARE Workers' Rights!
Socialist Fight Statement 19-9-2016
In fact, it is likely that it was his critical stance on the EU that saved Labour from being completely undermined in England and Wales, outside London, in the way it was wiped out in Scotland in the 2015 general election. It was Labour's joint neo-liberal campaign with the Tories against Scottish independence that drove Labour's discontented working class base to the SNP. It is not difficult to imagine something similar happening South of the border if the Blairites had had their way over the EU referendum. The Blairites are fully aware of this; their propaganda against Corbyn on the EU is reflective of their indifference to the very survival of the Labour Party.
In the aftermath of the narrow vote for Brexit on 23 June, there has been a major escalation of racist and chauvinist attacks on both East European workers, and people from long established ethnic minorities such as Afro-Caribbeans and South Asians. Social media has highlighted the frequency and nature of these attacks, with racist thugs loudly proclaiming that 'we' the 'indigenous' population had voted to 'get rid' of 'foreigners', and some of the reality has found its way into the mainstream media.
Polish and East European workers have been the targets: leaflets have been pushed through doors threatening 'Polish vermin' with violence. Polish cultural centres have been attacked and daubed with racist graffiti, and there have been a rash of violent attacks, including the disgusting murder of a Polish man, Arkadiusz Jóźwik, over the August Bank holiday weekend, in Harlow, Essex. This was followed up by another violent assault a week or so later in the same town.
Black and Asian people have been abused and threatened by pro-Brexit racists and told to 'go home'. These incidents are just a small sample of a large litany of incidents. The Institute of Race Relations compiled a list of well over 100 incidents in the month after the referendum vote just by monitoring media (http://www.irr.org.uk/news/post-brexit-racism/). But even these are undoubtedly only a small fraction of what is actually going on. Many victims of abuse and even violent racial crime do not report such incidents because of justified distrust of the police and the legal system.
Leave, Remain, and Xenophobic Bigotry
This wave of racial abuse and violence can be put at the door of the bourgeois politicians on both sides of the recent referendum vote. The entire thrust of Johnson, Gove and Farage's 'Leave' campaigning was whipping up hatred of migrant workers; but the bulk of the 'Remain' side was no better, endorsing both fortress Europe racism against migrant workers and demands for an 'emergency brake' on European migration, agreeing with the Leave side that migrants were to be treated as an enemy population.
Theresa May, now Prime Minister and pro-Remain, was responsible for sending vans with the hate message 'Go Home' (ostensibly to illegal immigrants, though in the small print) touring round areas with heavily immigrant communities in the recent past.
Not only East European migrants but also Syrian and Middle Eastern refugees were targets for the hatred of the Leave campaign as Farage in particular banged the drum against those fleeing the wars the West and the Israelis have waged in the Middle East. These wars destroyed Iraq and Libya and continue to destabilise great swathes of the Fertile Crescent and North Africa, in pursuit of the objective of creating anarchy, social collapse and fragmentation of the Arab world in particular. This is not only aimed at asserting US global hegemony but also at preventing any coherent Arab unification that may threaten Israel's ability to seize Arab land with impunity.
Often the patter that came from the pro-Remain Tories and Blarities was that staying in the EU was the way to halt EU migrants and refugees though a deal with the EU itself, whereas an 'isolated' UK would not get cooperation from the EU. This was desperate stuff on the part of the Remain campaign, cringing in the face of the anti-immigrant populism that has gained much influence in British society because of the relative absence of working class politics for more than two decades.
Labour movement chauvinism
Even where elements of working class politics existed, it often undermined itself because of its parliamentary reformism and thus programmatic ties to the nation-state. Britain is not just any old nation state; however, much it may have declined from its heyday of empire, it is still an imperialist state and a key, if junior, partner of the United States in its imperialist crusades around the world.
Therefore, British national sentiment does not contain any element of justification or a struggle against oppression, as does, say, Palestinian, Irish or Latin American nationalism. It is reactionary pure and simple – we as Marxists do not support the 'right' of British chauvinists, even those with ties to the labour movement, to exclude or restrict migrants from British soil.
Unfortunately, the Labour left has been historically bound to reformist schemes involving the nation- state here as a potential vehicle for reforms in the supposed interests of the working class. And it is true that real gains have been won within the framework of the national state: the existence of the National Health Service is apparently a case in point. Legislated into existence by Attlee's post WWII Labour government, it was the realisation of a proposal actually made by Beveridge, a Liberal peer, during the war.
But it is profoundly misleading to see the NHS as a product of national reformism. It was rather one of a series of concessions made by the ruling classes in the imperialist countries in circumstances of the extreme discredit that fascism threatened to bring upon capitalism itself at that time. In order to try to obscure the connection between fascist barbarism and the capitalist system, relatively generous social welfare concessions were made to the working class across the imperialist world.
It was fear that the widespread hatred of workers for fascism would come to be directed against the system itself, and lead to its revolutionary overthrow, that led the imperialists to adopt 'welfare capitalism' as a disguise for the system.
Only decades later, at the dawn of the neo-liberal era in the 1970s, would capitalism seriously break with the 'welfare capitalism' consensus and launch a prolonged, but often quite cautious, offensive against these gains. It is the potential for class struggle on an international level that offers the hope of defeating and reversing this offensive, not a return to delusions about 'national' reformism. But that is one of the key weaknesses of the Labour Left.
'Lexit' Delusion
Thus the most 'radical' elements of the left campaigned for so called 'Lexit' – left wing exit, in the name of Britain taking control of its sovereignty from the EU in order to elect a left government that could legislate for socialism, or at least some serious social reform. This is the ideology that motivated the likes of No2EU in the past, leading elements of the RMT Rail Union, the Socialist Party, the SWP, and in the referendum itself, George Galloway.
The problem is that, reformist illusions aside, Britain is an imperialist country and the demand for its 'sovereignty' – which was never violated in any case but merely voluntarily and partially delegated to EU institutions – can only have reactionary consequences. The result is that organisations and individuals who were and still are among the most subjectively fervent opponents of racism and chauvinism against immigrants, and who have led movements that have mobilised millions to protest against imperialism's worst recent crimes, find themselves rubbing shoulders with reactionary chauvinists like Farage and even endorsing demands for immigration restrictions on migrant workers.
This is the dead end of nationalist reformism. Galloway for instance had the courage to openly side with Iraqi resistance against British and US imperialism, but in the referendum this most pro-immigrant of Labour politicians was rubbing shoulders with Farage and denouncing 'unrestricted' immigration.
Militant/Socialist Party have always flinched from opposing immigration controls as a matter of principle, as part of their accommodation with imperialism, including such manifestations as Zionism and Ulster Loyalism, thus showing their chauvinist, parliamentarist deviation from Marxism.
The SWP (and its splinter group Counterfire), which historically stood, at least in theory, for the abolition of all immigration controls, nevertheless lined up in a victorious campaign politically dominated by anti-migrant chauvinists like the Tory right and Farage.
Corbyn and the EU
Jeremy Corbyn historically had similar views on the EU to the Bennites that are probably most characteristically associated today with George Galloway (since the Greek debacle, prior to which he was actually pro-EU). Corbyn called for a critical 'Remain' vote in the referendum. He was savagely attacked by the pro-Remain Blairite PLP for his critical stance, as part of the political rationale for the coup aimed at unseating him.
In fact, it is likely that it was his critical stance on the EU that saved Labour from being completely undermined in England and Wales, outside London, in the way it was wiped out in Scotland in the 2015 general election. It was Labour's joint neo-liberal campaign with the Tories against Scottish independence that drove Labour's discontented working class base to the SNP. It is not difficult to imagine something similar happening South of the border if the Blairites had had their way over the EU referendum.
The Blairites are fully aware of this; their propaganda against Corbyn on the EU is reflective of their indifference to the very survival of the Labour Party.
Corbyn's 'Remain and Reform' stance on the EU at least defended the rights of migrant workers. He has talked of 'solidarity' when confronted with chauvinist agitation against migrant workers in the labour movement. His perspective of reforming the EU, however, is indeed another variant of left reformism, as the EU itself is a capitalist, neoliberal bloc dominated by imperialist states like France and Germany, and not a vehicle for gains for the working class. Greece showed that very clearly.
We do not endorse the EU's single market for labour and capital, just as we do not endorse capitalist markets in general. But we do defend workers' rights, and a key right of any worker is the right to sell his or her labour for the highest price s/he can get. We are opposed to all restrictions on this, including chauvinist ones that purport to benefit one section of the working class ('indigenous') workers against another migrant section.
Proletarian internationalism not labour protectionism
Working class support for labour protectionism actually helps capital to divide the working class along national lines and severely damages the possibility of international solidarity. And since capitalism has become more and more internationalised for many decades, and the IT revolution in the more recent decades has made capital flight qualitatively easier, international solidarity is going to be a crucial weapon even in defensive struggles in many countries, both imperialist and semi-colonial, in the future. Without it, the working class will suffer more very damaging defeats.
One positive effect of migration is that it brings into existence, despite all the strains, an international working class, not as an abstraction, but as a material reality. That has always been true of capitalism. In an earlier period, by drawing into the cities and industry enormous numbers of former poor peasants, it created its potential gravedigger in subsequent generations. This is also true of migration: and it is why all kinds of reactionary backward –looking bourgeois nationalists hate migration and migrant workers.
We as socialists and supporters of workers' rights, in the Labour Party, have to make a leap of our understanding, and realise that migrant workers' rights ARE workers' rights.
Just as much as the right to join trade unions and to strike and struggle for better wages and conditions, so the right to seek work where the best conditions are available is also indivisible for workers. To say otherwise is to poison the relations between sections of workers with different national origins, and so destroy the prospect of class solidarity both domestically and internationally. In effect, such chauvinism encourages different groups of workers to scab on other's struggles.
We need to fight to win so-called 'indigenous' workers to defend migrant workers' rights and struggles as the same as their own. We need to organise a movement that will physically defend migrant workers against racist and xenophobic attacks, whether from organised non-state racists and fascists, or indeed the state.
The new Labour left should have no truck with labour protectionism, but should adopt as its own the slogan:
'BRITISH' WORKERS, MIGRANT WORKERS, SAME STRUGGLE SAME FIGHT, WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE! . ▲

« Socialist Fight No 23 Editorial
10 thoughts on "Migrant Rights ARE Workers' Rights!"
Stephen Diamond says:
If selling their labor power at the highest price they can get is a fundamental workers' right, then workers have a right to break strikes.
[Why do you suppose that Marx, Engels, Lenin, Trotsky, or Luxemburg never announced this supposed workers' right that you've discovered?]
socialistfight says:
Oh come on Stephen. This is just a quibble for the sake of it. Obviously we are speaking of the rights of immigrants to find work here.
It has nothing to do with respecting picket lines, respecting genuine pickets is an obligation on all workers irrespective of origin.
Not a quibble, a question about theoretical justification, with implications for program. You ground the right of migrants finding work here in a broader right to sell labor-power at the best price. I don't think there's such a right, and a gave you a counter-example to prove it. The right which grounds defense against deportation is the bourgeois-democratic right of residents of a country to the rights of citizens.
Rather than a quibble, this is the source of our difference on open borders.
The problem is that the logic of your position is not the working class relying on its own strength, including its ability to organise and politicise, across national borders, to win and defend social gains. The labour protectionist position that equates migration into a particular labour market with strike breaking, implies a strategic alliance of workers in better paid countries with their own bosses against migrant/foreign workers. This is the working class cutting it's own throat politically, and politically enslaving itself to its own ruling class.
I certainly don't equate migration with strikebreaking. (Obviously, I'm for defending migrants against deportation, and I don't defend strikebreakers. Where would you get such an idea?) The point has to do with theoretical rationale. I'm saying your rationale for the "free movement of labor" – the right to sell labor power at the best price – justifies strikebreaking. Since we agree that no Marxist would justify strikebreaking, we can conclude that your *analysis* (the right to sell labor power at the best price) is wrong. No progress will be made on the question of migration policy without considering the theoretical basis for the claims.
You don't have to be a protectionist to oppose the open-borders slogan. (I'm not a protectionist, and I oppose it.) Marxists should counterpose the social control of migration to both protectionism and the "free market." Gerry's comment lays bare the pro-capitalist nature of open borderism and immigration reformism. Holding that workers have a basic right to sell labor at the best price reduces, on this question, Marxism to neoliberalism.
Ian, did you see that Hillary Clinton spoke in favor of open borders at Goldman Sachs? (WikiLeaks.) Open borders and protectionism are two sides of the same reactionary coin. Marxists should favor collective control over migration as part of an international socialist planned economy, not the "free" movement of labor.
Did she? I'd be very surprised if she was for open borders in principle, as opposed to relatively open as compared to a more restrictive policy advocated by someone else.
The bourgeoisie cannot abolish the nation state, even though capitalist development makes it obsolete. Only the working class has an objective class interest in abolishing the nation state, an aspiration that is clearly there in Marx and Engels' Communist Manifesto from 1847.
Different trends within the bourgeoisie have different emphases within this contradiction. But the proletariat has its own historic interest in pushing this beyond the limits that capital can cope with.
Her precise statement was: "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere." (https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/927)
Abolishing the nation state is a proletarian task, not a demand. The _demand_ to abolish the state is anarchist. It's utopianism doesn't render it progressive.
So in other words, a pan-American version of the EU. Which would really be a greater USA given US hegemony over the Americas. We should oppose that because of the expansion of US power that would involve, but if it came into being, agitating against the 'open borders' element of it would mean cutting against its tendency to internationalise the proletariat.
The migration of workers from countries in Latin America with a higher level of class consciousness than than in the US can obviously provide benefits to the US proletariat. And it would not be the first time this happened, as the fructifying role of Russian and other East European Jewish workers in the US showed last century. Even if this later fell victim to upward mobility and chauvinism, it was still in its time a progressive phenomenon.
It is the task of communists to gtasp every opportunity to internationalise the prolelariat that arises from capitalism's insoluble contradiction regarding the nation-state. We may not be able to abolish the nation state without state power on a multi-nation/multi-state level, but we must do every thing to prepare the proletariat for power at that international level and to carry out that task. How is that remotely like anarchism, which rejects proletarian state power, not the nation per se?
1. Anarchists reject the centrally planned economy. The open-borders program is anarchist because it rejects collective control over the movement of labor in favor of the liberty of workers to choose the location where they're employed. Historically, the Marxist movement has never called for the end of all immigration controls – although Marxists have consistently opposed advocating a protectionist program. Put simply, I've never gotten an answer to why "open borders" was not part of the Transitional Program. It's not as though there weren't immigration issues. The labor market isn't the communist answer.
2. Although the issue is secondary to the above, I also think you vastly overstate the internationalizing influence of migration. Migrants have contributed to Marxism and to the labor movement but, as to the overall effect of migration on the American labor movement, Engels correctly regarded immigration as the major cause of the backwardness of U.S. labor. (Letter to Sorge.) Has the European Union facilitated the unity of European labor? It's certainly not clear that it has. In fact, the opposite seems the case.
3. A movement to stop the deportations and provide migrants with full citizenship rights is possible under capitalism. I see this as a radical bourgeois-democratic measure. But such a movement will not lead to open borders. To the contrary, if the ruling class understands that anyone entering the American labor market has the rights of a citizen will mean that the ruling class will begin to seriously enforce their borders.

Syria: ISIL stronghold of al-Bab 'surrounded', supply routes 'cut off'
By Euronews with REUTERS, AFP, UNITED NATIONS • last updated: 06/02/2017
Syrian government forces have reportedly cut off the last supply route connecting the ISIL-held city of al-Bab to militant strongholds further east, towards Iraq.
A military commander in the alliance backing President Bashar al-Assad said the jihadist group was now encircled.
The army is surrounding the south, while Turkish-backed rebels are advancing from the north in a race to capture ISIL's largest stronghold in Aleppo province.
UK-based monitoring group the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claims troops have captured the Tal-Uwayshiya hill, some nine kilometres to the south-east.
ISIL 'militarily on the defensive'
The UN has released a report urging governments to be vigilant of ISIL efforts to find new revenue streams. It says the group is militarily on the defensive and cited concerns journalists and aid workers travelling to areas recently recaptured from the jihadists could be targets for kidnapping.
"ISIL is militarily on the defensive in several regions, notably in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and the Syrian Arab Republic," the report read.
"The ability of ISIL to attract new recruits has diminished, and fighters are increasingly leaving the battlefield.
"The group continues to encourage its followers and sympathizers outside conflict zones to perpetrate attacks."
Complex battleground
Northern Syria is proving to be one of the most complex battlegrounds of the Syrian war. The Syrian Army, Turkey and its rebel allies and an alliance of US-backed Syrian militias are all fighting ISIL there.
Recent developments risk causing problems between the Turkish military and its allies, groups fighting under the Free Syrian Army (FSA) banner. The FSA has been carrying out its own campaign to take al-Bab.
Astana peace talks
Turkey is among the countries currently in peace talks on Syria, taking place in the Kazakh capital. Russia, Iran and the United Nations have also sent experts to Astana to review the implementation of the Syrian ceasefire agreement.
Delegates began a technical meeting on Monday (February 6), Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry confirmed.
"Representatives of Jordan are expected to take part for the first time," a spokesperson said.
On the agenda were discussions on a proposal from the Syrian armed opposition about the truce and determining options about how to implement it.
The Foreign Ministry said:
"This is about creating a mechanism to control the implementation of the ceasefire."
No documents were signed at the meeting, however Russian news agencies TASS and Interfax quoted a Russian negotiator as saying delegates would meet up again in February and may sign an accord regulating the work of a joint task force.

The Ferrari 308 GTB and GTS were introduced back in 1975, and fulfilled their role as entry-level Ferraris in what was then a soft worldwide market for exotic cars. Featuring a mid-engine design with V8 power and spectacular styling, they sold well. They were the beginning of a long line of mid-engine V8 Ferraris that were legendary cars in their own right while slotting beneath the V12 cars and special editions that were the traditional mainstay of the company's road cars.
Then at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the California, the beginning of a new line of V8 cars that were now front-engined, featured 2+2 seating, and were equipped with a retractable hardtop. Sticker creep was definitely in play with the mid-engine V8 Ferraris, and the California countered that somewhat by being a little less expensive than the Ferrari 458.
Enter the Portofino, the replacement for the recent California T. Like its predecessor, it is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.9 liter V8, but now producing 591 hp, an increase of 39 horsepower over the California T. The additional power comes by way of new engine software calibration, a new exhaust header, a new intake, and new pistons and connecting rods. The new engine offers both better acceleration and reduced fuel consumption.
A completely new chassis is both lighter and more rigid than the older chassis. New features include Electric Power Steering, which allows for a 7% reduction in steering ratio for greater responsiveness. The magnetorheological damping system now features dual-coil technology to limit roll and smooth out ride irregularities.

Tapas spent many years in an Ashram in India and later learned the art of acupuncture from a Chinese acupuncturist in whose family this art has been passed on uninterrupted within the family for five centuries. Originally Tapas had specialized in solely physical therapy, mainly allergies. She discovered about TAT not only working for physical dysfunctions but also the underlying psychological origins – often times a traumatic experience or an emotional burden – in treating a salt allergy.
In the course of treatment it was discovered that her client had been abused (raped) regularly as a child and afterwards always received a bag of chips. She was hardly able to relay this to Tapas. After treatment for the salt allergy she all of a sudden said that she had a feeling as if a huge stone was lifted from her chest and shoulders and she was able to think of these episodes without any emotional backdrop. She also said that she had never talked about this because she had felt tremendous guilt etc. which felt like she had been bound in the experience.
This experience caused Tapas to broaden her agenda and include psychotherapeutic treatments. She adjusted the treatment segments accordingly.
The treatment segments I apply in my practice are also a variation which developed through my own work with clients. In general it is identical to what Tapas provided, however I expanded some steps and others I combined into one.
TAT, like the MET tapping technique – is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine which has its foundation in the knowledge about etherical energy channels. These energy channels – called meridians – that flow though our bodies and that are responsible for our energy supply, have in the meantime been scientifically proven.
The meridians run – similar to our nervous system – through our whole body and supply our muscles, organs and cells with energy, which the Chinese call Chi. If the course of Chi is disrupted or blocked at first we notice disturbances in our well-being, in the worst case physical ailments manifest.
Energetic techniques were developed to dissolve blockages that were caused by disturbances in the energy flow and to allow Chi to flow freely. This in turn re-establishes, strengthens and stabilizes our self-healing powers.
At this point I would like mention that – according to Einsteins discoveries – everything, even the smallest atom, consists of energy. This energy is what everything on our planet and in our universe has im common and which Einstein consequently had to refer to as "God", since the origin of this energy couldn´t be attributed to any other source or named differently.
I, personally, mostly call this "universal energy". You don´t even have to believe in it for TAT to work for you. However, what actually happens in the TAT position is, that we utilize this energy and get in direct contact with it.
In her work Tapas had already utilized the bladder-meridian, which is situated on either side of the nose, a bit above the tear-duct. However, here there is not only the bladder-meridian but this is also the meeting-point of all other meridians and there entrance-point into the brain. This implies that energetically all meridians are here in direct contact with the brain. Using either hand you put your thumb and ring finger to left and right of your nose, above the tear-duct, your middle finger in between your eye-brows, ca. 2-3 cm in the center of your forehead (on your third eye). By the way, this position is in many cases very helpful for headaches has has for many centuries been applied accordingly by Tai Chi Masters.
At the back of the head the visual part of the brain is situated. Through holding the hand in this position simultaneousely with the facial hand-setting a connection is made between the meeting and entrance point of the meridians into the brain and the ability to visualize.
Both hands are positioned as follows: left hand to left ear, right hand to right ear. Hereby the pinky is placed at the most upper part of the connection between ear and head, the thumb at the lowest connection between ear and neck. The rest of the fingers are loosely positioned behind the ear. Your hands are now miming ear phones.
Scientific reasearch results show that during a TAT treatment neurotransmitters are released that are transfering information from cell to cell. These neurotransmitters are: Gamma-amino acid, glycine, adrenaline, noradrenaline, acetylcholine, dopamine an serotonin. After releasing these the body has to reproduce them individually. Therefore TAT shouldn´t be applied for more than 20 to 30 min. a day. To be able to discharge the released particles, one should drink 6-9 glasses of water during the day after a session.

Chapter 0242 – Overbearing Military Soldiers!
Xu Feng swiftly relayed Shen Xue's intentions to Yue Zhong and after some preparation, he started walking towards the front.
As he had just successfully snatched Ning Guang County, he would definitely not give it up. Whomever wanted to take it from him had to pay the price in blood. It was the same even if it was the army.
"It is indeed the military!!" After arriving at the front lines, Yue Zhong noticed that the battalion members were already well hidden behind cover in the distance. Furthermore, there seemed to be a few snipers located in some unknown areas. He could only sense the killing intent enveloping him but not the direction.
Although the opposing force consisted of only a battalion, Yue Zhong was very clear that if both sides clashed, the 4 battalions under him would not be a serious match for the enemy's single battalion.
With a thought Yue Zhong activated his Encompassing Body Armor, and dashed out into the wilderness. He proceeded for some time in a roundabout manner, making his way behind enemy lines.
There, placed behind the army, were the two 122mm Howitzers. A squad of soldiers were stationed as guards for these 2 advanced weapons, surrounding them in a group fashion.
These 2 Howitzers could be considered the most important weapons for the army! With just the cumulative firepower of these 2 monsters, they could wipe out almost anything. It was also an instrument that could seriously impact the morale of enemy troops. Facing that kind of firepower was enough to cause feelings of desolation in any soldier. Cruelly crushing and eradicating any hope of fighting back. Only the toughest in terms of mental strength could stand in the face of such weapons and fight to the death without retreating.
Yue Zhong slowly made his way nearer to the 2 metal behemoths before suddenly erupting! Making his move, he drew his PF98 120mm Anti-Tank Missile Launcher and fired a shot at one of the Howitzers.
A flash, immediately followed by a huge explosion! The 122mm Howitzer instantly became a huge ball of fire and scrap.
Yue Zhong's utterly crazy actions had shocked the soldiers surrounding the two Howitzers for a second; just as fast, they started firing at him.
The difference in shooting capability between the military soldiers and those under Tao Zhengyi was basically heaven and earth. Even under the barrage of firepower as well as Yue Zhong's constant evasion, a number of bullets still found their way to his body, only to ultimately be repelled by his Encompassing Body Armor.
Dodging another hail of bullets, Yue Zhong rolled on the ground as he once again aimed the PF98 and fired a shot at the final remaining Howitzer.
With a flash, the huge metal monster exploded into flames.
In response, the military displayed their fearsome aiming skills. As soon as Yue Zhong had fired the anti-tank missile, 2 separate bullets from distant snipers managed to find their way to the spot between Yue Zhong's brows, only to be repelled by the Encompassing Body Armor once again!
Without White Bone's ability, Yue Zhong could have well died under even one of those sniper shots.
After eradicating the 2 Howitzers, Yue Zhong took out several hand grenades. Aiming at the line of enemy soldiers, he threw them using his strength that was 5 times that of a normal person. Upon impact, the grenades immediately exploded on their targets.
A total of 7 soldiers were caught by the huge explosion and were blasted to smithereens!
Yue Zhong made use of the ensuing chaos to leap from his position and swiftly escape off into the distance.
While it was true that normal rifle bullets could not do anything to Yue Zhong, that was not the only weapon the military had! There were also grenade launchers, rocket launchers, mortars and many other different types of weaponry. The moment the warriors recovered enough to group together and attack him, he would be dead in a matter of seconds.
The telltale sounds of 2 gunshots rang out once more as Yue Zhong, who was in the middle of escaping, received another 2 bullets, this time to the back of his head. However, they too were deflected off by the Encompassing Body Armor and seemed to not affect him in the slightest.
Yue Zhong escaped into the forest some ways before climbing up a huge tree quite easily. He took out a JS12.7mm Sniper Rifle and aimed towards the line of remaining soldiers.
With a 'peng!', one of the soldiers immediately died on the spot after suffering a fatal headshot.
The remainder of the soldiers immediately opened fire towards the location from which the shot originated, but due to the great distance, the bullets flew randomly and not a single one was able to hit Yue Zhong.
Having climbed up the huge tree, Yue Zhong proceeded to take down the enemy soldiers with ease.
After another 5 soldiers were quickly picked off by Yue Zhong, they didn't dare to risk showing themselves again. Instead, they did the only thing they could and sent for reinforcements.
Shen Xue was currently in the middle of discussion with Lǚ Níng and Gao Lina on how to situate the matters of Ning Guang County after they had successfully taken over. All of a sudden, they heard the sounds of the violently explosive destruction of the Howitzers.
When Shen Xue heard the huge explosion, her expression froze beforeshe gritted her teeth and forcefully spat out each of those words. She had never imagined that before her imposed time limit of 30 minutes was even up, Yue Zhong had already taken the initiative to launch an attack first.
The Army represented the most superior force after the apocalypse. All along, no one had dared to go against the military. Not to mention even attacking military soldiers, Yue Zhong was the first to actually attack an entire military base!
If it wasn't for Shen Xue forcing Yue Zhong, he really would not have resorted to such extreme measures just to end up antagonizing these fully equipped and well-trained soldiers. However, the 4 battalions he just established were simply not enough to go against this 1 battalion. Their combat prowess was incomparable! His only choice was to rely on their sheer numbers as well as his own tyrannical strength.
Those two 122mm Howitzers were their most prized killing machines. With a single shot, they could instantly decimate the opposing firepower.
The bungalow that would be in the way of Shen Xue and the military was manned by Guo Quan and his team of 9. With just a single blast from the Howitzer, they would be pulverized, completely regardless of how strong their fighting spirit was!
Without those Howitzers, Shen Xue and her battalion would have a much harder time trying to fight their way through.
You must remember when compared to Shen Xue and her battalion of trained soldiers, the fighting capabilities of Yue Zhong's men was still considered inferior. If Shen Xue had called for the majority of her troops to deal with Yue Zhong, it would be playing right into his hands.
With this decision, the entire battalion started making their way towards Ning Guang County. On the frontlines in charge of defending against the assault of the military was Guo Quan and his team. They were considered the elites amongst the soldiers Yue Zhong had trained up.
From the moment the battle commenced, Guo Quan could feel the immense pressure issuing forth from the enemy.
With a hail of bullets, the soldiers on the military side began to fire rapidly at Guo Quan's location. The snipers hidden amongst the soldiers were also firing tirelessly, and any soldiers under Yue Zhong unfortunate enough to stick their head out would immediately be picked off by the enemy snipers.
Concurrently, the military soldiers were extremely efficient and systematically firing nonstop, using rocket launchers to concentrate fire on that single location.
Both sides had been engaged in a crossfire for at least 10 minutes, and given the terrain, the Army could only send out smaller companies to engage in the firefight. Guo Quan's company had already lost their 1st line of soldiers. If they weren't the most elite amongst Yue Zhong's troops, they might already have lost all their fighting spirit long ago.
This strategic entry to Ning Guang County was small and didn't allow too many people to cross it at once. Guo Quan knew he had to wear down the enemy numbers and stamina at this bottleneck, otherwise the battle would be even harder once the military broke past this point.
The platoon commander cursed using a loud voice, before he crouched down and went back to his position.
Under the command and leadership of Guo Quan, although Yue Zhong's first company was not enough to win against the enemy company, they were at least able to hold their ground and fend them off. Both of them were still engaged in heavy fire, and the Army also found it difficult to fully suppress the warriors of Yue Zhong's First Company, who were hiding behind cover.
Yue Zhong took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a resolute gleam as he jumped down from the tree and charged towards the Army's camp.
That platoon of soldiers had been hiding behind cover and didn't dare to even poke their heads out. If Yue Zhong had maintained this sort of confrontation with the soldiers, by the time Ning Guang County was broken into, he still would not have settled this issue.
Having seen that Yue Zhong had appeared again, the 2 hidden snipers immediately cocked their sniper rifles, firing two bullets which flew towards Yue Zhong.


The council says the move, which follow soft market testing, has been made in an attempt to drive transformation and speed up the roll-out of digital services.
The deal will see the replacement of existing customer relationship management and waste management solutions in parallel.
Simon Hughes, Head of Digital at the council, said: "As a council we understand how investment in the right technology can improve the services we provide while increasing efficiency across the organisation."
He said that Arcus has been selected due to its understanding of the council's end-to-end business processes.
The project was delivered in less than two months, after the supplier overcame architectural and technical issues.
Arcus worked with the council using agile technology, allowing the final configuration to meet the pre-designated business objectives, Hughes added.
Denis Kaminskiy, chief executive at Arcus said "We continue to build our partnership with the council to accelerate the transformation agenda and bring forward the business benefits that digital technology enables."
Mid Sussex includes the towns of East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. It covers an area of 129 square miles. The population of the area is around 139,000.

As part of an EU campaign designed to promote IT security through education, sharing of good practices and increasing individual and as organizational awareness of cyber security, October is European Cyber Security Month.
Throughout the month a number of activities are organised and held throughout Europe. For information about these, visit the European Cyber Security Month website.
This attention to what is unreservedly a growing concern is most welcome. A recent UK study by Beaming, a leading ISP provider, highlights just how prevalent the problem is: in the UK alone there have been over 2,333,158 attacks just this year, with businesses who fall victim to an attack reporting an average cost of £16,264.
The UK government's own research also reveals some startling trends. Nearly 7 out of 10 attacks involved viruses, spyware or malware, and although the plan is to invest a record £1.9 billion over the next 5 years to protect UK interests, the government firmly believe business must act to protect themselves. Part of the problem is that despite the fact that 1 in 4 large firms experience a breach at least once a month, only half have taken any steps to address or identify weak spots.
The study also revealed the scary fact that only one third of the UK's top 350 businesses fully comprehend this threat, with a mere fifth clearly understanding the dangers of sharing information with third parties. Thankfully, the news is beginning to sink in and some businesses now appear to be setting out their approach to cyber security in their annual reports.
We at Skillsoft are well aware of the danger, and committed to providing our clients with the skills and the training needed to ensure they can take all appropriate steps to protect their businesses. We recently worked with BAE Systems: as a provider of some of the world's most advanced, technology-led defence aerospace and security resolutions, BAE already employs cutting edge detection and prevention measures. Wanting to do even more, they turned to Skillsoft to design training that would help further optimise employee awareness about cyber security, and specifically ensure their diverse global diverse workforce knew how to spot and combat the latest cyber threats. The training was a huge success with an immediate outcome of employees reporting over 90,000 security incidents within the first 12 months.
Our Cyber Security Collection offers a vast array of learning options with instant access to hundreds of assets across a wide choice of modalities (videos, courses, books, assessments, mentoring, etc.). These can support cyber security professionals' continuous learning needs, from solving an immediate technical problem to building a well-rounded set of skills and preparing for certification exams.

Speech - Speech (1996)

Speech disbanded Arrested Development after the failure of Zingalamaduni, the band's second album, embarking on a solo career. As it turned out, it wasn't dissimilar from his former band at all. Speech, his eponymous 1996 debut, followed the same peaceful, soulful vibe that informed Arrested Development's two studio albums in a more tempered fashion. Where his former group sounded rootsy and gritty even at their most laid-back, Speech's record sounds slick, generally lacking in funk or dirt. Speech is not as immediate or infectious as 3 Years, but it is certainly more focused than Zingalamaduni. That sense of direction is a welcome relief after the confused mess of Arrested Development's farewell but Speech needs to write more shots of energy like "Ghetto Sex" in order to win back his audience.

Certainly no one will contradict if we write "last week was a week of winter weather." Last Thursday it commenced snowing on a surface already 10 inches deep; and during that day and that night, 8 inches more of this "beautiful stuff" covered its predecessor; and on Saturday night 2 inches more fell. We have become surfeited with shoveling snow, and have asked ourselves the question whether we had better telegraph to the meteorological department of Washington and ask the weatherman to hold on for a while, as we have not room for any more snow around "our house." However, winter has its pleasures to some, as well as its sorrows to many; and while some families have been out of wood, and have been compelled to haul from the wharves on improvised sleds, other persons have been driving the streets amid the jingle of sleigh bells, the young misses and young men have been skating on the lake, and the little boys and girls had been coasting down the hillside. Of course no one expects anything to be done at such times as these, except what cannot be avoided.
The ice harvesters have been getting to their work; although the ice is much impregnated with snow, and not so good and some would be without it.
The steamer started down the Broadkiln on Wednesday, but on account of the ice returned to her dock on Thursday.
The approach of Christmas is making some bustle around town, particularly amongst the young, who are expecting much. The stores and shop windows have been trimmed and made to look pretty. The windows at the "big store" of Markel & Hartman are trimmed the nicest and present the most beautiful display of any in town
The real estate of Elzie Holland, of near the Drawbridge, has been sold at sheriff's sale; and in three allotments. Elbert Davidson was the purchaser, and the price paid $1,450.
Dr. Will Hearns' yacht has been laying near the Milton Bridge for some time. Part of this time she has been on the bottom and careened over, and at other times partly filled with ice and snow. Her condition is subject to the tides. She was cleaned out by a colored man on Friday.
Steamer Mary M. Vinyard has "laid up" for the winter.
Georgetown jail has received an unenvied name in the past for prisoners breaking out. We note recently that persons have been breaking into that institution trying to steal the sheriff–or his property.
The chief of the Hog Bureau reports the following: Jas. Collins' hog weighed 680 pounds; Elias Lofland's two, 601 and 540; Captain Darby's two 860 and 800; and several more of less of weight.
Edna burns died at the home of William Short, near Ellendale, on Monday of last week, of membraneous croup, aged 13 years. Funeral at late residence on Wednesday, and interment at New Market Cemetery. Rev. Taylor performed the last sad rites, and S. J. Wilson & son conducted the funeral.
Ernest Armstrong Draper, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Draper, died on Wednesday of brain fever, aged nine months and three days. Rev. H. L. Bunstein, of Milford, conducted the funeral at the parents' residence and interment was made in Slaughter Neck Cemetery, by S. J. Wilson & Son.
James H. Warrington, a hardware merchant of this town, died on Saturday morning at his residence, on the corner of Federal and Wharton streets, age 54 years, seven months and 24 days. The immediate cause of death was dropsy. There was no funeral, the burial service alone being read at the grave. Interment was made in the M. E. Cemetery on Monday afternoon by S. J. Wilson & Son.
After a lingering illness of many weeks, Elias Lofland died at his home on Union Street, north, on Sunday morning, of pulmonary complaints, aged […] years. Funeral services [were] held at his late home on Tuesday afternoon, and sepulture made in the M. E. Cemetery, Rev. L. P. Corkran conducted the last sad rites, and J. R. Atkins inhumed the body.
Rev. F. H. Mullineaux, of Kent Island, Md., will give a lecture on "Palestine and the Holy Land," in School Hall on the evening of December 26th. Admission for adults, 25 cents, children, 15 cents.
J. B. Welch has returned from the city with a stock of jewelry for the holidays. The decorations at his store present [an] attractive appearance, and are much admired by the ladies.
A lot of half-starved dogs are prowling around the back yards of town residents, and at night one can seldom go out of the house without hearing the yelp of one of these animals. It is a pity the dogs are in such condition, but where is the remedy?

Stephanie Ann Alexander  (born 13 November 1940) is an Australian cook, restaurateur and food writer.

After studying to become a librarian and travelling the world at the age of 21, Alexander's first restaurant, Jamaica House, opened in 1964. In 1976, her next venture was Stephanie's Restaurant, located in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy before moving to the middle-class suburb of Hawthorn in 1980. Stephanie's Restaurant closed in 1997 after operating for 21 years. She went on to publish several cookbooks, including her alphabetical guide to ingredients and cooking, The Cook's Companion.

Kitchen Garden Foundation
In 2001 Stephanie piloted the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program at Collingwood College in Melbourne. The program grew out of Alexander's belief that children learn about food early in life through example and positive experiences, which continues to influence their food choices through life.

In February 2004 the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation was established. This not-for-profit organisation is dedicated to supporting schools introducing pleasurable food education, teaching students to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal, delicious food. As of December 2018, the Foundation is now working with more than 1800 schools and early years centres teaching pleasurable food education, and this number is growing.

The Foundation engages with schools, governments, philanthropists and passionate individual donors to secure ongoing funding.

Honours
On 26 January 1969, Alexander was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in recognition of services to the hospitality and the tourist industry and to the encouragement of apprentices. On 1 January 2001, she was awarded the Centenary Medal for outstanding service to the food and wine industry in Victoria. On 26 January 2014, she was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia for distinguished service to education through the design and establishment of schools-based learning programs promoting improved food and eating choices for children, and as an author.

Personal life
Alexander's parents were Winston, a former public servant who ran a caravan park on the Mornington Peninsula, and Mary née Burchett. She is the niece of the journalist Wilfred Burchett.

Alexander has married and divorced twice. Her first husband, Rupert Montague, known as Monty, was a Jamaican she met in London. In Melbourne they opened The Jamaica House restaurant three weeks after the birth of their daughter Lisa. Her second husband was Maurice Alexander, a barrister, with whom she had another daughter, Holly.

Google is always trying to make things easier for their users. The newest way Google will be making things easier is when it comes to exploring the world around you. This week, Google will be adding an "Explore" button to Google Maps for Android and iOS versions of the app. Currently, Google has an explore section after you open the search within the app. Explore shows you food and drink places as well as places to play, shop and sleep. All of these places are "nearby" meaning some are in walking distance and others will need a different form of transportation. All of the results show ratings made by other Google users, as well distance and price ranges in the form of dollar signs. However, the "Explore" feature is getting revamped with some new features and more information to help you explore what's new and hot around you.
One of the first changes is that to access "Explore", Google will be adding a button in the bottom right hand corner of Maps. The only stipulation here is that "Explore" will only be accessed when you're in an area that the feature is available. The rest of the features revolve around what time of day it is, and where you are. While currently, Maps gives you a range of places that you can filter through distance, price, or ratings, the new "Explore" will allow you to preset the distance from where you are currently. "You can decide if 'nearby' means a five-minute walk or a 20-minute drive." Another improvement is that "Explore" will know what time of day, or even what the weather is like to give you even more proper suggestions. Say it's a sunny morning, "Explore" will show you places to go for a nice cup of coffee or breakfast. Then, since it's sunny, maybe you want to take that cup of coffee over to a park to enjoy the weather, "Explore" will show you parks nearby. Planning a vacation? Google's thought of that as well.
Simply go to the location of your vacation in your maps, and hit explore. Google Maps will show you what's nearby in that area to help you plan your vacation days before. Once you're at the location you selected, you can get even more information in regards to that place. Reviews and pricing will be available, as well as transit times from that place to where ever you want to explore next. Though for all of this to work, you'll need a few settings. Google asks that you have location reporting and history turned on in order to get the best use of this feature. One of the reasons for this is because you can save a place that you liked, and have better search results next time. Google hasn't said anything about if this feature just needs to be added server-side or by an app update.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Not all of Salt Lake County's historic buildings have ties to pioneer settlement.
A subdivision in lower Olympus Cove is seeking a spot on the National Register of Historic Places because 14 of its homes were designed by Cliff May, considered the "father of the California ranch house," a "dream home" affordable to the masses in the post-World War II housing boom.
The neighborhood's eligibility went up a notch last week when the Salt Lake County Council re-established a historic preservation ordinance for unincorporated areas.
The program fell by the wayside when the county changed from a commission to a council form of government in 2001, but it's back now, with the first six members of a reinstituted Historic Preservation Commission receiving council approval Tuesday.
"The unincorporated areas are part of that post-war boom period," said Kirk Huffaker, executive director of the Utah Heritage Foundation, a statewide historic-preservation group. "It's great for the county to re-establish its program and jump right into taking steps toward recognizing these postwar neighborhoods as important to the country and the people of Utah."
Cliff May began designing homes in Los Angeles and San Diego in the early 1930s. His buildings featured open interiors and plenty of windows, ideal for letting sunshine fill the dwelling and limiting the distinction between inside and outside. Stairs were rare, even going outside. Roofs were low-slung.
For several decades, May designed more than 1,000 custom homes for movie stars and wealthy clients. He also drew up the plans for Robert Mondavi's California winery.
But his portfolio also included more than 18,000 tract homes.
While considerably smaller than May's custom villas, they maintained his devotion to airiness and openness. In addition, May and business partner Chris Choate kept down costs by pre-fabricating house sections and windows so they could be assembled easily.
Olympus Cove was early in its development when May teamed up in 1954 or 1955 with a local builder on 14 homes directly east of Wasatch Boulevard, just north of what is now Churchill Junior High School.
The homes have no basements. They were relatively small — about 1,500 square feet. For the most part, garages were separated from the main L-shaped buildings, creating internal courtyards.
Missy Cannell and her late husband bought their home on Oakview Drive in 1964, knowing nothing about Cliff May.
"I loved the feel," said Cannell, owner of Cannella's restaurant in Salt Lake City. "I loved the windows and the indoor/outdoor thing. It felt so modern, compared to the bungalow I grew up in in Sugar House."
Similarly, Stephen and Jo Smith weren't aware that May had designed their Sunsetview Drive home when they bought it in 2009. "But I liked it for all the reasons he designed it like that," said Stephen, an architect who now speaks authoritatively about May based on extensive research.
"There's a door to the outside from every room in the house. It really feels like the outside is part of the house," Jo noted, her husband interjecting, "no matter where I am in the house, I can see the outdoor patios. As I move around, I'm constantly aware of that."
Several subdivision homes have been remodeled so much during the past 60 years that they scarcely resemble their origins. But most still bear telltale signs of May's hand.
Cannell and the Smiths are quite pleased, in fact, that a growing neighborhood understanding of the subdivision's architectural roots apparently influenced one homeowner remodeling a Cliff May home to expand upon the initial design.
The reintroduction of the unincorporated county's historic-preservation ordinance could make remodeling jobs like that eligible for tax benefits or grant money, provided certain construction and architectural standards are met, said Patrick Leary, county townships executive director.
There is definitely added value in owning a Cliff May property, said Stephen Meade, a Southern California real-estate broker who runs the Cliff May Registry.
"People often come to me because they think the houses look cool," he said. "But the real benefit is when you move in. It has a positive effect on lifestyle. You spend a lot more time outside and invite people in more often. It's remarkable how many people you can have over for a party and be comfortable with — in that size of house."
The Smiths and Cannell can attest to that.
They were planning a party last summer to celebrate being part of a Cliff May subdivision when, lo and behold, whom did they run into as she checked out his homes in the neighborhood — Cliff May's daughter, Hillary May Jessup.
So Jessup and her daughter Jennifer, a Park City resident, attended the bash that gave rise to a new neighborhood nickname: "Cliffdwellers in the Mayborhood."

Université Paris-Saclay launches a sequence of trainings to accessibility on Wednesday, November 18, 2015, under the high patronage of Axelle Lemaire, Secretary of State for the digital. That first date will also be the occasion of the launch of the "Tour de France of digital accessibility", worn by the association Braillenet.
This sequence of courses for the Université Paris-Saclay is worn by Centralesupelec and the Université Paris-Sud, and organised with the support by the working groups "educational initiatives" and "Disability" of the Université Paris-Saclay to promote accessibility.
A module destined for communication services and to webmasters, in charge of institutional websites.
Accessibility, it is guarantee to all, particularly to persons with disabilities, access to information and services. This includes Web sites that must meet certain standards and recommendations to be usable by all, and also mobile applications that enable today access to more services via the Internet. It should be noted also that the properly applied principle of digital accessibility improves the quality of services online in general.
November 22, 2014 the first symposium Handiversite, was attended by 350 people,actors of education and training, companies, associations, and research in connection with the Saclay plateau.
The issue of the accessibility of the digital has emerged as one of the major challenges for the inclusion of persons with disabilities.
On the other hand, during the closing conference of the National Conference on disability, December 11, 2014 at the Elysee, the President of the Republic stated "digital should not be a barrier more, a banned, but leverage more, a chance more."

This paper deals with assessing the bearing capacity of existing wood pile foundations. With a wide range of restoration projects being performed in the Netherlands, on many locations deep excavations need to be constructed next to existing, many times listed buildings. The building are founded on piles that are often centuries old, so a close evaluation of the remaining bearing capacity, combined with and assessment of the influence of the excavation is in place. After giving an introduction on Dutch pile foundations, a methodology is described to assess the bearing capacity. Aspects as physical foundation investigation, determination of the current bearing capacity and a calculation of the bearing capacity in the new situation are discussed. The results of both analytical and Plaxis calculations are outlined, focussing on how to practically use this approach in renovation projects. Finally, cases studies of the successful application of this approach in major renovation projects in Amsterdam, such as the Conservatorium Hotel and the New Rijksmuseum are used to illustrate the successful application of this approach.

Q: How to mask 2D list in Python? I created a 2D list and applied a mask on the 2D list followed the same type question. It turned out the posted solution simply didn't work for 2D list.
Here is the code and output:
from itertools import compress
class MaskableList(list):
    def __getitem__(self, index):
        try: return super(MaskableList, self).__getitem__(index)
        except TypeError: return MaskableList(compress(self, index))

aa=[['t', 'v'], ['a', 'b']]
aa=MaskableList(aa)
print(aa)
>>> [['t', 'v'], ['a', 'b']]

mask1=[[1,0],[0,1]]
print(aa[mask1])
>>> [['t', 'v'], ['a', 'b']]

mask2=[1,0,0,1]
print(aa[mask2])
>>> [['t', 'v']]

It there a clean and efficient way which works for masking 2D list.

A: A simple way you could do it would be to reimplement the generator expression that itertools.compress implements.
You turn it into statements, and when at a given position both the data and the selector are lists, you recurse that new compress function over that sublist:
from collections import Iterable
def compress_rec(data, selectors):
    for d, s in zip(data, selectors): # py3 zip is py2 izip, use itertools.zip_longest if both arrays do not have the same length
        if isinstance(d, Iterable) and isinstance(s, Iterable):
            yield compress_rec(d, s)
        else:
            yield d

that way it would work with any dimensional array.
HTH

A: There is definitely a better solution that involves messing with the class definition but a workaround would be this:
from itertools import compress
class MaskableList(list):
    def __getitem__(self, index):
        try:
            return super(MaskableList, self).__getitem__(index)
        except TypeError:
            return MaskableList(compress(self, index))

aa = [['t', 'v'], ['a', 'b']]
mask1 = [[True, False], [False, True]]

new = [MaskableList(sublist)[submask] for sublist, submask in zip(aa, mask1)]
print(new)  # -> [['t'], ['b']]

Some Upstate New York casinos shut down due to coronavirus
MONTICELLO, NY — New York state's largest casino — Resorts World Catskills — has shut down for at least two weeks due to concerns over the COVID 19 coronavirus.
Rivers Casino Resort in downtown Schenectady has also "suspended operations" due the virus Its also closed its adjacent lodging, the Landing Hotel.
Other casinos in the state appear to be operating, but are limiting the number of patrons to comply witha statewide crowd control order.
Resorts World Catskills, located just outside Monticello in Sullivan County, closed to the public as of 9 a.m. this morning. The casino's parent company also shut down its sister location, Resorts World Casino New York City.
"After careful deliberation with New York State officials and our partners at the New York Hotel Trades Council, we have decided to — for the health and safety of our workforce, patrons and community — temporarily close Resorts World Casino New York City and Resorts World Catskills," a Resorts World spokesman said in an email. "We will continue to closely monitor developments regarding COVID-19 and follow additional guidance from New York State. We look forward to announcing when we can welcome patrons back to Resorts World."
A Rivers statement reads: "Although there have been no known cases of COVID-19 at the property, we are suspending operations out of an abundance of caution and to promote the social distancing recommended by health officials."
Employees at both casinos will be paid during the shutdown.
Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona is open, but is limiting the number of guests. The casino is also configuring its gaming floor to allow for "social distancing," or the separation of patrons from one another.
At del Lago Resort Casino near Waterloo in the Finger Lakes, the latest information, posted Saturday, is that the property and all its dining outlets remain open. But del Lago, like venues across the state, is limiting the number of people inside.
It is restricting the number allowed on the gaming floor to 500, and limiting those allowed inside the dining outlets to 50% of maximum occupancy. It has also cancelled all performances at its Vine showroom though at least the end of March.
Casinos, like bars, restaurants and similar venues across the state, must comply with the crowd limit order issued by Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week. It bans gatherings larger than 500 people, and requires smaller venues to adhere to the 50% of occupancy limit.

Design Disruptors, a film produced by design management and collaboration platform InVision, covers several fundamental principles of art and design. Like us, design is human and stems from what people need or want. This serves as the basis for all design – the struggle for conveniency is what pushes new inventions to come to fruition. With this push, designers must make sure they are abiding by these standards in order to solve interactive problems more efficiently.
The concept of disruption defines a designer's confidence in action. This term correlates with risk-taking, an entrepreneurial venture in business. Disruption creates a wave of opportunity for all designers, opening up doors for new ideas.
Throughout the film, we are given many lessons in problem-solving. As designers, it's essential we perfect our problem-solving skills in order to produce an easy-to-use, efficient product. Mind-sharpening techniques like setting personal deadlines for yourself is a very productive trait to have. Two heads are better than one – group sessions also help designers in coming to a conclusion with an idea or concept. These methods have proved to be constructive in the everyday workplace.
Regarding user reviews, some mediums significantly differ from one another. User interface design has an advantage over print media. For example, print media such as newspapers and magazines doesn't entail feedback. With web records and database archives, it is easier to maintain user interest by eliminating or adding certain features.
Speaking of user satisfaction, it is imperative designers fulfill the needs of their consumers on a universal scale. Building something everyone can use markets your product to the largest possible audience – the world. And it gets designers adapting to global user interests rather than their own personal interests.
Ultimately, designers should strive for practicality in their work. What is the easiest and most simple way to get the job done? It's about creating solutions that are so efficient, they're almost peripheral to the user. Competition breeds disruption, and it's always happening. It helps reform design.
