Is the role of COO obsolete?
Though not quite headed for endangered species status, the title of "chief operating officer" is becoming more difficult to find on organizational charts. Readers scanning the list of the" Business Leadership Team" at Microsoft, for example, will see 30 names and titles--beginning with Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates--but nary a COO among them.
Rick Belluzzo, chairman and CEO of data protection company Quantum in San Jose, Calif., explains why. Belluzzo is the man who once held Redmond's now-vanished COO title. Shortly into his job, Belluzzo found that he and CEO Steve Ballmer were spending an inordinate amount of time defining--and then redefining--roles. "When you have to put that much effort into it, it's not natural," he says. In the end, Belluzzo wrote himself out of a job, devising a new organizational structure to give more control to the heads of the company's seven main business units.
The no-COO route is also being taken by a number of other companies, if an unpublished study examining corporate hierarchies at large firms (average employee population of 47,500) is any indication. Of 51 companies studied, about 55 percent had COOS in 1986; by 1999 that figure dropped to about 45 percent.
It's not surprising, according to Julie Wulf, assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, who co-authored the study with Raghuram Rajan, professor at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. As executives seek to cut out management layers and create flattened firms, it stands to reason that they would scrutinize the post that "has historically served as an intermediary between the CEO and the rest of the organization," the authors write. With companies like Lucent, Reuters and 3M jumping on the bandwagon in recent months, eliminating the COO job is practically becoming a small fad. Mary Ward, spokeswoman for Lucent Technologies, summarizes the attitude of many executives when she explains why CEO Patricia Russo welcomed the abolition of the COO post at the telecommunications equipment giant. "Pat wanted to be able to manage the operations more directly," she says.
On the other hand--and it is a rather large one--some CEOs still consider their COOS indispensable. They want to be able to devote ample time and focus to vital, but nonoperational, duties, such as strategizing and plotting the future direction of the company, and they believe it is the COO who makes this possible. Reliable operations chiefs keep the inner workings of businesses well-oiled and customers satisfied, even delighted. They shoot trouble on the factory floor and in managerial offices, detect the earliest signs of marketplace changes and nurture talent to ensure the operation can run smoothly in the quarters ahead.
And in many cases the COO is the executive being groomed to take the top spot one day, providing succession-conscious CEOs with an obvious heir. The COO is so important to some chief executives that they reach for metaphors to describe what their second-in-command means to the company. "He's got the engine in his hands; I'm trying to steer the car," says CEO Gene Banucci of his COO at Danbury, Conn.-based ATMI, a supplier to the semiconductor industry.
In most cases, the COO is the only other executive who will know as much about the inner workings of the company as the CEO, and in many cases, he or she will know more about the nitty-gritty details. As Jay W. Lorsch, professor of human relations at Harvard Business School, puts it, the COO is the CEO's "window" into what's going on deep inside the company, and he or she should be ready to answer quickly on any number of business issues. The following represents a short list of questions to ask.
How do we divvy up the work?
Because of the sheer comprehensiveness of both jobs, there's plenty of room for overlap between the duties of a CEO and COO. That can lead to confusion or friction, so many executives work out formal job descriptions. At ATMI, a one-and-a-half page document lists 27 "key roles" of the COO, everything from executing corporate strategy to attending important conferences.
At COO-less Quantum, the heads of two major businesses take charge of the daily operations of their units and report directly to CEO Belluzzo. He spends about half of his time assisting them in such matters as handling customers and partnerships. He devotes the other half to attending to matters that are his purview, such as dealing with the investment community and pursuing new business areas.
What's working under the hood and what isn't?
Some measures of operational well-being are particular to a company. At ATMI, Banucci insists on keeping abreast of safety issues at the company's manufacturing facilities. "Not having people get hurt on my shift is really important to me," he says. Another top priority is quality control, because semiconductor makers--ATMI's core customers--have zero tolerance for flawed products, Banucci says.
One indicator of operational health common to any organization is whether customers are happy enough with products and services to keep on buying. Ronald Sargent, CEO of Staples, the giant office supplies retailer, says he puts questions about customer satisfaction near the top of his list. "The key job of a COO is to continue to improve how we serve customers," he says.
When is the division manager's son pitching in the Little League playoffs?
COOs, charged with understanding the people who work for the company, shirk a major job requirement if they lose their human touch. "If you know what's going on with your people, you can appreciate why things are occurring, not just what is occurring," says James Lillie, COO of' Jarden, a consumer products company based in Rye, N.Y Lillie makes it his business to remember details about his employees' personal lives, such as the date when a manager's child is going to begin kindergarten. If there's a death in the family, a subordinate can expect to receive a sympathy card from the boss.
COOs need to connect with their managers in other ways, too. Sargent often inquires about employee morale. For one thing, he believes that people who enjoy their jobs spill their enthusiasm into their performance. For another, he considers high morale a good indicator that Staples, which has operations in 11 different countries, is successfully bridging cultural gaps.
Finally COOs should make a point of spotting talent among subordinates and cultivating it. Banucci, whose company has about 350 patents, says technology businesses thrive on the intellectual property created by first-rate employees. So he wants to be informed regularly about new hires and who is moving up in the organization.
Are those Frequent Flier miles piling up?
Companies with far-flung operations and customers benefit from a COO with wanderlust. COOs can expect to spend up to 60 percent of their working time traveling, says Bob Damon, a managing director at executive recruiter Spencer Stuart, up from 40 to 50 percent a few years ago. In these post-Enron times, be says, companies are redoubling efforts to oversee and improve operations, which means checking out field operations regularly.
Lillie considers travel from headquarters to see a company's other plants or offices a must. "You need to see it, feel it, touch it, taste it before you make a good decision," says Lillie.
The executive who hopes to cede the throne to the COO one day should make sure the heir apparent will be up to the job, says Andrea Redmond, co-head of the CFO/board services practice at executive recruiter Russell Reynolds Associates. Chief executives need to give the next-in-line exposure to aspects of the business ordinarily outside the operations realm, such as corporate finance. The COO also has to learn to be a strong communicator, capable of talking effectively to those outside of operations, such as industry analysts and the press, as well as to the troops. In short, they need to learn what it takes to go from being the Number 2 to the Number 1.
In search of leaders: Whatever their strategy, CEOs are convinced that grooming top leaders is absolutely key to their companies' ability to compete.

Aftermath is the first novel in a three part series (so far); it includes Aftermath, Life Debt, and Empire's End. The story itself takes place after the events of Return of the Jedi, specifically following the Battle of Endor, and more or less gives us an idea of how the Empire struggled and reacted to the events that had recently occurred.
Following the Battle of Endor there's been a lot of confusion, celebration, and frustration, depending on what side you are/were on. So it's really no surprise that a full trilogy was needed to give us an idea of how both sides reacted to that tide turning battle.
Aftermath had a different storytelling method than I expected. We're given multiple perspectives, bouncing around from both sides of the war (and sometimes grabbing somebody in between). Because of this there are a lot of characters in this novel, many of which you'd recognize from the movies. Wedge Antilles gets himself involved, as does Norra Wexley and Rae Sloan (no surprise there).
I'm sure we'd all find our favorite characters during the course of the novel, though our preference would probably be at least partially dependent on which side we are most loyal to (Empire versus the Rebellion). I personally have a soft spot for droids full of personality, so naturally my favorite character ended up being Bones (whom I wish we had seen more of).
Most of Aftermath takes place on Akiva, a planet that has no real value, but one that the Empire thought they'd be safe to meet (and hide) on. Thanks to the Rebellion being thorough (cough Wedge Antiles making patrols despite being told not to cough) they discovered the Empire's presence rather quickly and were able to respond in kind.
There were times where this novel dragged on a bit. For example establishing so many different characters with unique backgrounds can be overwhelming at best, dry at worst. I think they would have had an easier time pulling more characters from the movie canon (and thus could get away with less time spent on their past and motivations), but that's just my two cents. I'll admit there were a few points where I found myself reading the same paragraph again and again, as I kept losing my place (as I kept getting distracted) and having to start again.
I'll confess that I was mildly disappointed in Aftermath. I had hoped for…well…I had hoped for more. I was hoping we'd see not only a lot of action and fighting (which we did see a bit of), but the political ramifications of a war of this scale, and ideally I'd prefer to see that happen on multiple different planets, not just one minor one (and even then the impacts shown were fairly limited – as Akiva had been relatively untouched).
I think I'll likely read the other two in the trilogy despite my disappointment. There's a chance that I'll get my wishes in those novels, and even if I don't I'll probably end up being too curious not to give them a chance. Here's hoping we'll see more impact and fallout!

NOVA SCOTIANS IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR (October 6/00)
It may surprise some that Nova Scotians were involved in and deeply affected by the American Civil War. The "bloodiest conflict in American history" had long reaching consequences in this and the other Maritime provinces. Historians estimate that at least 10,000 Maritimers served with the Union and Confederate forces during the Civil War. Many of these men, and in at least one case a woman, were Nova Scotians.
The Maritime Provinces' involvement in the Civil War is told in detail by Greg Marquis in his book, In Armageddon's Shadow, which was published in 1998 by McGill-Queen's University Press. Prof. Marquis' book is available through the Annapolis Valley Regional Library and I recommend it to anyone interested in the Civil War and Nova Scotia's involvement. Canada was about to become a nation when the Civil War raged and Marquis presents an interesting view of Nova Scotia's waffling on the issue of joining Confederation.
With Prof. Marquis' permission, I've taken excerpts from his book that refer to Nova Scotia and in particular, the Annapolis Valley. Chapter three (The Race Question) has a reference to a black Nova Scotian who served in the Union navy.
"One Afro-Nova Scotian who served for the Union was Ben Jackson, from Lockhartville…. Using the name Lewis Saunders, Jackson joined the U.S. Navy in 1864… He first sailed on the brig Chalerdonia from Horton at the age of sixteen in 1851. During his stint with the navy, 'Lewis Saunders' served on the frigate USS Potomoc, the Richmond, and the Carolina. He saw action in the attack on Fort Morgan and was wounded while posted to the Richmond during an attempt to remove an explosive mine from the Mississippi. He appears to have served as a gun captain in the 2,700-ton steam sloop. This Bluenose sailor was treated at Pensacola, Florida, and at Brooklyn naval base hospital before his honorable discharge in 1865. He returned to Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley, where a road outside Hantsport bears his name."
A Nova Scotian won America's highest award for valor, the Congressional Medal of Honour, during the Civil War. Marquis writes that the award was won by Halifax's Charles Robinson while serving as boatswain on the gunboat Baron de Kalb in the western theater. Robinson was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honour for bravery in 1862. Robinson returned to Halifax where after a career as a policeman and storekeeper, he died in 1891. On his death, Marquis notes neglected to mention his Civil War service and his rare achievement.
Other Annapolis Valley references in the book include one with a Kentville connection. "Walter Wile of Kentville remembers family tales based on a series of old letters sent to his aunt from his four uncles, all of whom were in the Union regiments," Marquis notes. A Kings County resident, Hugh Munro, served in a Maine regiment. Wounded at the siege of Charleston, Munro was mustered out in 1864 "and received his pension in later years at Welsford." On page 221 mention is made of the infamous Confederate raider Tallahasse capturing a Boston-bound ship loaded with wood from Kentville.
Prof. Marquis discusses the commercial climate during the Civil War and several references to shipbuilding illustrate its importance here in the 19th century. "Maitland at the mouth of Nova Scotia's Shubenacadie River was a beehive of activity with twenty vessels on the stocks at one point in 1863. 'From Canning upwards to Truro,' a journalist reported, 'the whole shore is speckled with shipyards.' The Minas Basin shore from Noel to Five Mile River built thirty-five vessels… in 1863 and 1864."
A former lecturer at Saint Mary's University, Prof. Marquis now teaches history at the University of New Brunswick.

Question: My questions relates to marrying first cousins. Although its permissible in Islam, i was wondering as regards to arguments against this as many people cite health issues and high rates of disabilities among children. I'm struggling to get my head around a ruling in Islam that potentially puts people or children at risk. I am in no way saying the Islamic ruling is wrong as I would never oppose anything in Islam but rather I would like clarification so as to have a better understanding as non-Muslims often ask why we would have this ruling and always cite particular studies.
Answer: Thank you for your question and your concern for supporting the religion.
As you have quite rightly pointed out, the default legal (shari`) ruling is that first cousin marriages are permissible. However, there is no intrinsic animosity between 'fiqh and fact', as it were; and indeed the opinions of experts in fields such as medicine and astronomy have always been taken into consideration when issuing fatwa. It is important to bear in mind the difference between the 'fiqh' (which is the general or default ruling) and the 'fatwa' (which is a specific legal opinion that considers individual circumstances).

Fresh look for senior events
There's a fresh look to senior events for 2017, with a new format for the English Senior Women's Championship and the creation of a Senior Series for men and women, with a grand finale at England Golf Week.
The senior women's championship will be played from 15-19 May at South Staffordshire Golf Club and will now include a new match play flight for players aged 60 and over.
The event will start, as usual, with two rounds of stroke play to decide who goes forward to the match play flights.
The top 32 players will compete in the championship matches for the Wendy Taylor Salver. The leading 16 players, aged 60 and over, will play for the Ann Howard Trophy.
Competitors can choose which flight they would like to play in, but will have to state their decision when registering at the event.
The change in format was agreed by a working group of competitors, tournament officials and members of the England Golf Championship Department.
The Senior Series, which is open to men and women, will be made up of six 18-hole stableford tournaments, played off full handicap.
The leading players at each event will qualify for the grand final at Golf Week, when they'll play on the Bracken course at Woodhall Spa on 16 August. We'll also run a Series order of merit and the leading players on this will qualify for the final.
The players who win through to Golf Week will arrive on 15 August for a practice round and a gala dinner, when trophies will be presented to the regional winners. They'll stay overnight as the guests of England Golf before playing the final, then enjoying a buffet lunch and the presentation.
The six qualifying tournaments will be held at: Woodcote Park Golf Club, Surrey, on 11 May; Huddersfield Golf Club, Yorkshire, 1 June; Wilmslow Golf Club, Cheshire, 15 June; Teignmouth Golf Club, Devon, 28 June; Longcliffe Golf Club, Leicestershire, 14 July; and Princes Golf Club, Kent, 25 July.

This week's episode is a Q & A episode where I wrangled together several organic gardening questions and rattled off the answers.
Theresa mentioned fish emulsion* in the podcast. You can use that or fish fertilizer which is hydrolyzed fish*. Hydrolyzed fish fertilizer is just like fish emulsion except that it uses a process that retains more of the micro nutrients and doesn't smell as strong as regular fish emulsion. Hydrolyzed fish fertilizer is a little more expensive due to the process involved to make it, but both will work in your garden.

Mortality rate caused by tuberculosis decreases in Azerbaijan
29 March 2019 17:55 (UTC+04:00)
By Mirsaid Ibrahimzade
The number of tuberculosis patients in Azerbaijan last year decreased by three percent compared to 2017.
As a result of involvement in the active treatment of identified patients, providing them with first-line and second-line medications, the death rate from tuberculosis decreased by 6.7 percent in 2018.
Over the past four years, 9,561 people have applied to the commission for the organization of diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis at the Ministry of Health. Of these, 6,622 were prescribed a long course of therapy.
Note that according to statistics of World Health Organization, more than 9 million people in the world are sick with tuberculosis during the year, and 1.8 million of them die from this disease.
The director of the Research Institute for Lung Diseases of the Ministry of Health Professor Hagigat Gadirova said that in recent years in Azerbaijan has been observed a stabilization of the incidence of tuberculosis, whereas in previous periods this figure was increasing.
She also added that in the last two years, a decrease in the rate of both primary and repeated incidence of tuberculosis has been recorded.
Stressing the importance of raising the number of laboratories for diagnosing tuberculosis in Azerbaijan, Gadirova noted that the strong support of their families is also very important in the successful treatment of patients with this disease.
Generally, according to the World Health Organization website, death rate caused by tuberculosis has decreased in the world by more than 40 percent since 2000 due to joint efforts aimed at combating this disease and within this period 54 million lives were saved.
Worldwide, World Tuberculosis Day (World Tuberculosis Day) is celebrated on March 24 to attract public attention to this dangerous lung disease.
Despite this statistics, tuberculosis is still one of the leading causes of death from infectious diseases in the world. Every day, almost 4,500 people die from it, and almost 30,000 people are infected by it.
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. The classic symptoms of active TB are a chronic cough with blood-containing sputum, fever, night sweats, and weight loss. It was historically called "consumption" due to the weight loss. Infection of other organs can cause a wide range of symptoms.

R&D spending in the pharmaceutical industry through 2015 was valued at around $58bn as organisations vied to gain a competitive advantage by bringing new drugs to market as quickly as possible .
The pharma industry is increasingly embracing the principles of Quality by Design (QbD) to improve efficiency and ensure good quality and reduced variability throughout the drug production process.
QbD is defined by The International Conference on Harmonization as "A systematic approach to development that begins with predefined objectives and emphasizes product and process understanding and process control, based on sound science and quality risk management." .
The FDA's process validation (PV) guidance  is also important and adds further clarification, providing a standardised and systematic approach for clinicians, consumers and investors.
The QbD process provides specific Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) for aspects of drug formulation and performance. A CQA is a physical, chemical, biological, or microbiological property or characteristic that can be measured and maintained within an appropriate limit. CQAs are established to allow for the definition of acceptable variations.
Material analysis techniques including dynamic light scattering, gas pyconometry and mercury intrusion are all valuable tools to develop CQAs that ensure acceptable clinical standards. As a drug begins commercial scale production uniformity in manufacture is essential and variation between batches could prove potentially dangerous.
Adoption of good materials characterization techniques allow CQAs to be established for both active ingredients (API) and excipients. CQAs can rapidly facilitate the identification of the causes of problems or specific batch deformities.
Particle size is crucial to dissolution rates, bioavailability, and stability and other performance factors in solid and suspension dosage forms . As part of a CQA process, it's vital for manufacturers to explore how particle size affects performance.
The Micromeritics NanoPlus DLS uses dynamic light scattering (DLS) and photon correlation spectroscopy to analyse particle size in the range of 0.1 nm to 12.3 pm with sample suspension concentrations from 0.00001% to 40%. DLS is also a rapid and cost effective method for measuring the particle by particle surface charge known as zeta potential that controls the stability of suspensions.
The properties of a tablet are almost entirely defined by the compaction behaviour of excipients during compression. The tablets tendency to break apart (friability), solidity and dissolution behaviour are all attributes that are linked to porosity.
The AutoPore IV9500 uses mercury intrusion to measure the porosity of a tablet and is able to determine a broader pore size distribution of between 0.003 to 1100 micrometers. Process parameters and quality attributes can be achieved for porosity equivalent to a difference of less than 0.1 microliter of mercury allowing a reliable and quantifiable CQA to be established.
Pharmaceutical tablets are manufactured by roller compaction, a mechanised process whereby powders are compressed into a solid dosage form (tablet). The development of accurate density-related CQAs is only made possible by an understanding of the skeletal volume, and the true/apparent density of a mixture.
The AccuPyc II uses gas density pyncometry to calculate total density and works in tandem with the Dry Flo, solid medium GeoPyc 1365 Energy Density analyser. By combining measurements from the two, instruments users are quickly able to determine skeletal density, envelope density, total pore volume, percent porosity, and closed-cell pore volume of tablets produced with a variety of press settings.
These measurements can then be used to establish solid fraction control parameters as a CQA, which will define optimal settings in the roller compactor for speed, compression and nip angle.

Below you will find further information on various platinum coins with platinum fineness lower than .999 we buy. If you cannot find your coin below or have a coin that you cannot identify please write us an email via our Contact Form or call us at (705) 302 1055 to obtain an estimate. Please keep in mind that we may not be able to provide you with an accurate estimate until we've seen the coin.
Russian Platinum Ruble of the 19th century
The first platinum coins were issued in St. Petersburg, Russia from 1828 to 1845. As expected for material produced by powder metallurgy and because of major impurities, there was a significant degree of porosity at the surface, which made the coins look less shiny than modern Platinum Coins. Because of the rather greyish look they could easily be mistaken for silver coins and the public did not accept them, which is why they were recalled and demonetized. The reverse features the imperial double-headed eagle.
In 1977 new Platinum coins were struck with the old dies for collectors. These have fewer impurities, especially less iron and are therefore nonmagnetic.
The Analysis of 6 of the original Platinum Coins and their impurities showed no consistent trend, which suggests that refining practice remained basically unchanged, resulting in an estimated platinum content of probably around 95 to 97 weight% for the genuine coins.

Splendid Company at Disney Hall
Robert Millard
Verdi's Otello at the Music Center
"We are not the sole owners of our past," wrote Jordi Savall, music's great and original spirit, in a note accompanying his marvelous appearance at Disney Hall last week. His concert, with his ensemble of singers and players upon lovely old instruments, was devoted to music from "Hesperia," an ill-defined area between the Italian and Iberian peninsulas whose musical fascination lay in its having housed a number of diverse cultures – Arab and Jewish, for example – who were able to live in peace and thus develop fascinating, hybrid artistic existences. Out of this remarkable melange emerged, among notable figures, Christopher Columbus, who, for all his reputation as an opportunist in his dealings in commerce, was also a serious observer of culture who kept large and important notebooks. One notebook page cited by Savall, which I find particularly fascinating in its power to lie across certain notebook pages of my own, is a leaf from the writings of the Roman poet and politician Seneca – yes, the old guy whom Nero does in in The Coronation of Poppea – prophesying the existence of a New World, which Columbus obviously took to heart.
Savall's researches, which resulted in a marvelously diverse program of music relevant to the world around Columbus' explorations, have always been more than mere concerts. With Hesperion "I, his own gathering of instruments, and the dedicated singing of his wife, Montserrat Figueras – whose voice seems to embody the spirits of the past even as its pure vocal elegance fades away – the serendipity of his concert programming always is about something. Even the impersonal setting of Disney Hall, with its austere electronic loudspeakers standing around, did not, this once, seem an intrusion. Something about Jordi Savall and his music making manages to conquer time. This recent program about Columbus-era music comes with a fat picture book: not inexpensive, but indispensable. The next project, glowingly reviewed in the latest Gramophone, is a book and a set of discs (on the group's own Alia Vox label, handled in the U.S. by Harmonia Mundi) inspired by St. Francis Xavier and his excruciating journeys around Africa to India to bring about massive Christian conversions and the music that happened along the way.
nbsp;High C's on the High Seas
It could be that Shakespeare's Othello and his storied warriors were prowling other corners of the Mediterranean at about the same time as the Columbus gang; more important is that they showed up here last week more or less simultaneously with the Verdi version. Those of us with long memories cannot easily relinquish the L.A. Opera's very first night, an Otello of 1986, with the curtain stuck on that most precipitous of all operatic openings. The new production was not thusly plagued; the curtain rose promptly, but on a curiously proportioned crowd scene, rocking back and forth on designer Johan Engels' curved stage floor, which became an authentic visual plague as the opera wore on. (Example: the Cyprus Court Scene in Act 3, with the Governor's throne unsettled in center stage and again seeming to rock back and forth.) Two massive, square tunnel openings, leading to nowhere in particular, flanked the stage. Some ill-defined lighting upstage in Act 3 may, or may not, have served as a vista of distant skyscrapers.
Ian Storey, fresh from Britain, was also fresh and invigorated in the role of Otello; it took very few lines of opera, however, just the curled, jet-black tones of his address to Roderigo not far into Act 1, to recognize who was to own this performance: the venom-tinged, insidious Iago of the unmatchable Mark Delavan, in his long-overdue local debut and in his effortless full embodiment of operatic evil at its unfurled fullness. Soprano Cristina Gallardo-Domas, the scheduled Desdemona, fell ill two days before opening curtain; the way these things work in the contemporary, well-oiled operatic machine, the Met was able to spring Russian soprano Elena Evseeva, a well-practiced Desdemona, just in time and then some. Barring no more than a glitch or two, Mme. Evseeva fulfilled her duty and perhaps a bit more.
To add to the weekend's exhilaration, Falstaff, the other masterwork of Verdi's ripest genius, was triumphantly and delightfully mounted by the newly reconstituted Opera UCLA, not at cavernous Royce Hall but sensibly at Schoenberg. Peter Kazaras was the stage director; Neal Stulberg led the exuberant orchestra; the Falstaff, Jeffrey Madison from the University of Minnesota, was singing the role for the first time in his life. O brave new world, and then some!
nbsp;Partial Recovery
It would be unfair to measure the success of James Conlon and the L.A. Opera's "Recovered Voices" program on the measure of masterpieces restored from obscurity. The good work of the program should rest, I think, on a leveling of the field by filling in a repertory undeservedly lost through political elimination, whereupon these restored works would then gain or lose their place on the basis of quality. On this level, I would suggest that half of the double bill restored to circulation at the L.A. Opera this week was eminently deserving of the superb production (including Conlon's musical leadership and the work of a superb cast) and half was not.
The deserving short opera was Alexander Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg (The Dwarf), which already has had some circulation in Europe but not in the Western U.S. Based on Oscar Wilde's "Birthday of the Infanta," a taut, ironic, actually rather vicious and therefore delightful short story, it has been given a gorgeous setting here, worthy of the Velasquez painting that inspired it, a perfect gem of a production by Darko Tresnjak on a stage set up by Ralph Funicello and Linda Cho.
Sharing the evening is Victor Ullmann's The Broken Jug, another work – along with his Emperor From Atlantis – riding the deserved fame of its composer's concentration-camp history, but in need by now of facing the reality that life in a concentration camp does not automatically bestow the halo of genius.

Working to end violence against women
Please chip in to support more articles like this. Support rabble.ca for as little as $5 per month!
Our society, for all its relative progressiveness, is still based on unequal wealth, status, opportunity and power that can easily lead to abusive behaviour.
Debbie Jorgensen
rabble news
We are coming to the end of 16 days of activism on violence against women, which started on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and wrapping up today, December 10, International Human Rights Day. These dates were chosen to symbolically link violence against women with human rights violations.
On December 6, 2008, Canada commemorated the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women with various events, including organized vigils, marches and memorials. December 6 is the anniversary of what is known as the Montreal Massacre, when 14 young women were gunned down at the École Polytechnique de Montréal in 1989. The date was proclaimed by the Canadian government in 1991 and is intended to encourage Canadians to think about the results of deliberate acts of violence against women and to take action to eliminate such violence.
Violence against women is a part of the fabric of Canadian society
The Montreal Massacre is an extreme and obvious example of the violence that women face in general. Mark Lepine's shooting spree specifically targeted women, and he left behind an explanatory letter containing a tirade against feminists as well as a list of 19 prominent women who he particularly despised. Other recent Canadian examples include the murder of over 25 women in British Columbia by Robert Pickton and the investigation into the 20 Edmonton women who have been killed or missing since 1983.
It is easy to see such examples as exceptional cases and not representative of most women's experience of violence in Canada, and, in one sense, they are. But they are also merely an extreme on a continuum of violence to which all Canadian women are exposed. While rates of violent crime have been decreasing overall, rape and sexual assault have actually been on the increase and rates of spousal violence against women have remained relatively unchanged in nearly all of the provinces over the last few years.
Today, despite a marked rise in awareness about violence against women, half of Canadian women will experience criminal violence by men in their homes, communities, workplaces and schools in their lifetime. That means that an average of 8 million Canadian women will experience violence in their lifetime, which is a number that is hard to ignore.
Eliminating inequality will help eliminate violence
Violence against women is more than just a violation of their rights; it also prevents their full participation in the economic, social and political life of Canada. Our society, for all its relative progressiveness, is still based on unequal wealth, status, opportunity and power that can easily lead to abusive behaviour. Women are especially vulnerable to acts of violence because of their continued lack of economic and political power and many social and economic factors make it difficult for women to escape violence.
Because the causes of violence against women are multiple and intertwined, there are many roads to progress on this issue. December 6 is about remembrance and action and there are many steps we as individuals can take that can make a difference.
In addition to raising awareness and speaking out against violence perpetuated against women, we must demand programs, adequate financial resources and improved legislation from all levels of government, and in particular the federal government who under the current Conservative administration have cut funding to the Status of Women organization, eliminated the Court Challenges Program and reduced funding to legal aid, all of which affect women's rights and women's ability to take action against the violence they experience.
We must demand a re-investment in a National Affordable Housing program, a rethinking of how to prosecute and punish those who commit violence against women and develop community-led solutions to ending violence against Aboriginal women in particular. Finally, we must continue to lobby for a national public child care program, equal access to employment insurance, pay equity and a living wage, all of which will enhance women's social, political and economic role in our society and decrease the risk of violence against them.
Perhaps most importantly, we can stop viewing violence against women as mere isolated cases, as something that happens to someone else, as being something private, and start recognizing that this issue affects all of us, men and women, as human beings and as citizens of Canada and the world.

At another point, Letterman held up a photo of Mrs. Obama shopping at Target in low-key garb.
How awful is that? She turned a funny story that made her feel good at the time into an ugly story of racism just to fit a narrative that America is chock full of white racists. That's kinda pathetic.

Detroit tops list of hard-to-count cities ahead of census
DETROIT (AP) — When the U.S. Census Bureau starts counting people next year in Detroit, obstacles are bound to arise: The city has tens of thousands of vacant houses, sparse internet access and high poverty — factors that will make it the toughest community to tally.
Other Rust Belt towns that have lost population and cities in the Sun Belt with large numbers of immigrants and transplants will pose similar challenges in the coast-to-coast headcount, an Associated Press analysis of government data found. Nationwide, about a quarter of the population lives in hard-to-count neighborhoods, including a majority of people in Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Memphis, Tennessee, and Fresno, California.
Obtaining an accurate count is critical because the census determines the allocation of $1.5 trillion in federal spending and decides which states gain or lose congressional seats.
"There is nothing more important, no higher priority, than reaching the hard to count," Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham told lawmakers last summer.
Detroit's recent resurgence has led to refurbished downtown buildings, new boutique hotels and an invigorated arts community. But the renaissance has done little for some residents who live in persistent poverty and harbor lingering mistrust after decades of racial upheaval. The many empty homes are relics of the mass exodus that began in the 1950s and sent Detroit's population plummeting from about 1.8 million to 670,000.
About 86% of Detroit's population lives in hard-to-count neighborhoods, by far the largest proportion of any major U.S. city, the AP analysis found.
Annette Brock, who lives northeast of downtown, said some residents see no connection between answering questions from the government and improving their lives.
"Everybody else outside of us gets help before we do," Brock said. "I don't blame nobody if they don't want to participate, or if they don't want to help, or if they don't want to say nothing no more. They're tired of speaking their mind."
Nationwide, the Census Bureau predicts a 60.5% response rate.
About 70% of Detroit residents turned in their 2000 Census forms. That figure fell to 64% a decade later, when the national rate was 74 percent.
In 2010, 220,000 Detroit residents were living in households that did not fill out questionnaires, costing the city $2,000 to $5,000 annually for every uncounted person, said Victoria Kovari, executive director of Detroit's 2020 Census Campaign.
To get those numbers back up, city census teams have knocked on nearly 130,000 doors in neighborhoods that were under-counted in the last census and spoken with more than 26,000 people. But Kovari is still concerned. For the first time, the Census Bureau would like respondents to answer questions online, but the agency estimates that 30% of Detroit households lack regular connection to the internet, roughly double the national percentage.
The Census Bureau sends workers to homes that don't respond. In Detroit, that means knocking on the doors of vacant houses and others where residents may not answer.
Almost 80 percent of Detroit is African American, and observers "know we are going to have an undercount among the black population," said Diana Elliott, an Urban Institute researcher who co-wrote a report last summer that estimated anywhere from 900,000 to 4 million people could be missed.
"That puts Detroit at greater risk just because of the demographics," Elliott said.
Researchers have learned that Latinos, African Americans, non-English-speaking immigrants and children under 5 are the hardest to count, along with tribal members, nontraditional families and people with informal living arrangements.
Experts say the Trump administration's effort to put a citizenship question on the questionnaire may scare off immigrants who live here illegally and others. Although the effort failed, opponents of the question say damage has already been done.
California and New Mexico have some of the nation's largest concentrations of Latinos. In those states, over 40 percent of the population lives in hard-to-count neighborhoods.
By contrast, Vermont, Maine and West Virginia have some of the highest concentrations of white residents and older people, who are more likely to fill out census forms. There, less than 5% of the population lives in hard-to-count neighborhoods.
To tout the importance of the 2020 census, California is spending an estimated $187 million on advertising and events and recruiting neighborhood leaders to encourage participation. California census officials have hired liaisons whose sole focus is 15 specific hard-to-count groups, including farm workers, the homeless and people without broadband subscriptions.
"You really have to understand the structural barriers that exist," said Ditas Katague, director of the California Complete Count-Census 2020 Office.
Gathering accurate population data in Detroit can be daunting because of its size and the emptiness of some neighborhoods. The city was almost bursting its limits through the 1950s, until good-paying auto and other manufacturing jobs allowed a burgeoning white middle class to find bigger homes and better schools in the suburbs. Years of housing discrimination made it harder for the city's black residents to leave.
Tensions between Detroit's black residents and its mostly white police department exploded in a riot in 1967, scarring the landscape and driving more white flight.
The 1973 election of Coleman A. Young as the city's first black mayor was a milestone in Detroit's rise as a city dominated by African Americans. But soon many in the black middle class also sought better homes, schools and safety in the suburbs.
In the late 2000s, the national housing crisis and economic downturn fell hardest on the Motor City. Foreclosures abounded. Three of every 10 adults was jobless and about 4 of every 10 people lived in poverty. Thousands more left the city, and the population dropped by 2010 to 713,000.
In 2013, Detroit became the largest city in the U.S. to file for bankruptcy. When it emerged the following year, it was able to wipe out or restructure about $7 billion in debt, sparking a turnaround that helped fuel a massive demolition program. Since 2014, about 19,000 vacant houses have been razed, mostly with federal dollars.
Still, current Postal Service estimates show nearly 60,000 vacant units in Detroit.

Sorry, can't come to the phone just now
By Prem Panicker
MS Dhoni is "unavailable" — by which I guess his phone is off the hook?
That is one way of getting the selectors off the hook – become "unavailable". No reason given, none asked for, both by design.
The selectors are saved from having to either raise eyebrows by picking MS Dhoni for the ODI squad or risk the anger of a legion of fans by dropping him; Dhoni is saved from calling a definitive time-out on his career with the attendant problem of deterioration of brand value; plus, he gets to become "available" whenever it suits him, at which point the next bunch of selectors can grapple with the problem. Neat.
(PS to the above: Dinesh Karthik's phone is working, but no one called. In other words, his career is done and dusted. While I am personally of the view that with the return of Wriddhiman Saha and the rise of Rishabh Pant. Karthik is a bit of a supernumerary, the manner of his exit still leaves a bad taste in the mouth. He was picked in the World Cup squad to play who knows what role; he was experimented with as a middle-order batsman once the "think tank" realised that three batsmen can't do it all; he was reduced to the role of coming in at precarious positions and either having to hit from ball one because his betters had left it too late, or trying to revive an innings because his betters had mucked it up. He had no really defined role in the side, and he has been judged and found wanting even absent that role definition.
He must now be wishing he had done an Ambati Rayudu and quit on his own — which reminds me, the selectors say Vijay Shankar — last seen bringing drinks out despite a "toe niggle" that kept him out of the playing eleven — is still unavailable because said toe is still niggling. Compound fractures have set in less time than this mysterious toe has taken to heal itself.)
There are intriguing questions about all three squads. For the red ball version, Wriddhiman Saha comes back into the lineup – as what? First choice keeper?
Rishabh Pant is the designated keeper for both ODIs and T20s on this tour, so the tea leaves suggest Saha will play the Tests. If that happens, it is hard lines on Pant, who in his brief 9-Test career has centuries against England. His first was at the Oval, where he came in for the second innings with Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane and Hanuma Vihara scoring a grand total of 38 runs between them (Rahane scored 37 of those), and teamed up with KL Rahul in a 204-run partnership that mitigated the extent of the team's defeat.
He then scored two successive 90s against the West Indies, at Rajkot and Hyderabad, and his last Test outing was a 159 not out (189 balls) against an Australian attack led by Starc and Cummins with Lyon and Hazelwood in support.
How do you tell the guy he is second choice wicket-keeper behind Saha, whom he betters in both average and strike rate (not that the latter is a defining criterion, but the likes of Adam Gilchrist have demonstrated the value of a wicket-keeper batsman who can take the game to the opposition)?
The Test bowling lineup has a sufficiency of quicks, two spinners, and one all-rounder who bowls spin. Given that the Windies have no spin bowler of any quality to call on, you don't expect to see turning tracks – so the likeliest lineup will be three pace, one spin, and one spin-bowling all-rounder who can bat as high as seven (Jadeja, unless the team management is brave enough to punt on Ashwin at seven, to fit Kuldeep, or a fourth seamer, into the starting eleven.)
Agarwal and Rahul seem slated to open; Pujara and Kohli make up numbers three and four. At five, you have to pick between Rahane, Rohit Sharma, and Hanuma Vihari and I am damned if I can see how Rohit figures in this equation.
The other interesting aspect of the Test squad is that the selectors haven't opted to try out any new bowlers, which seems a bit of a wasted opportunity.
Question: Who is the vice-captain for the Test squad? Rohit is clearly named as Virat's understudy in both ODIs and T20s, but there is no VC for the Tests. It's a peculiar – and telling – omission.
As far as the one-day squad goes, the question is who bats at numbers four and five. "We needed a batsman in the middle order," coach Ravi Shastri bemoaned after India was drop-kicked out of the World Cup by New Zealand, belatedly discovering what almost everyone else was saying since the squad was picked.
Given that, the point of interest was always going to be how the selectors were going to solve that problem – and it appears that Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey and KL Rahul will compete for those two places.
Rohit and Shikhar will reunite at the top, with Kohli at three, two of Shreyas, Manish and Rahul at four and five, Rishabh at six and Jadeja at seven. Personally, I'd love to see Manish and Shreyas making it to the eleven – shoe-horning an opener into the middle order is not a "solution", it merely makes Rahul neither fish nor fowl.
Props for picking two young bowlers in Navdeep Saini and Khaleel Ahmed, but what on earth is Kedar Jadhav doing in the squad? As far as bits and pieces all-rounders go, Jadhav has clearly shown that he is neither a 'bit' of any substance, or a 'piece' of anything tangible in terms of composition and balance, so… why?
Again, the question I am waiting to see answered: When, towards the second half of an ODI, Kohli goes off to field in the deepest parts of the ground, who will be his proxy for setting the field? Will he depend on Rohit, or will he call the play himself? There has been considerable talk that Rohit is peeved over Kohli making Dhoni the de facto vice captain, and thus implying a certain lack of trust in his, Rohit's, leadership abilities. Be interesting to keep an eye on this.
The next multi-lateral engagement is the World T20 championships — and the selectors seem to have thrown everything they can find into the pot (the two Chahars, Krunal Pandya, Washington Sundar…) leaving it up to the captain and coach to figure things out.
Against the world champions in this format, Bhuvi will lead an attack that features two newbies in Khaleel and Navdeep; the plan seems to be pace-off through the middle overs, and a fingers-crossed hope that through trial and error they will find someone to bowl with Bhuvi at the death.
The only certainties are Rohit, Dhawan, Kohli, Pant and Bhuvaneshwar (also Jadeja in all probability). The rest of the line up seems to be a case of making it up as we go along — which is a bit odd because, as pointed out multiple times in course of the recent World Cup, a good team beds down its most likely eleven a good 12 months before a multi-national tournament.
All that said, it is not as bad a selection as some recent ones, including the squad for the World Cup. The name I had hoped to see – particularly in the 15 for the Tests and ODIs? Shubhman Gill.
The Teams:
Tests: KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rohit Sharma, Wriddhiman Saha, Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav
ODIs: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Kedhar Jadhav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Navdeep Saini.
T20s: Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Krunal Pandya, Rahul Chahar, Deepak Chahar, Washington Sundar, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, Navdeep Saini.

Essentially, something involving the Czech Republic, Croatia or England was amazing – from Croatia's three- win more than Denmark comprehensive with Davor Suker's chip, to the Czechs' wild three-3 draw with Russia. Perhaps the ideal game though was the dramatic semi-final amongst England and Germany that ended – as often – with the Germans winning a penalty shootout. The Soviets meanwhile had been doing effectively themselves, defeating England to make the semis before beating Italy 2-.
The Russian football season has carried on due to the fact the get started of the war, in contrast to the Ukrainian club season which was suspended straight away following the invasion and was final week abandoned with no a champion becoming crowned.

Just just before the tournament kicked off, we went on a roadshow about the country, delivering face-to-face instruction to all volunteers, so that everyone's effectively singing off the similar song sheet, knows what their function is and what their responsibilities are.
"In this debate, I usually go with Messi for the reason that he is more of a group player. "Arsenal have Thomas Partey, who plays that part brilliantly. Chelsea, I assume they've got players in Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic who can play there. "Randal deserves his contact-up thanks to his recent performances," said Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krösche. "The Planet Cup can assistance him make the subsequent step in his development." A budding Bundesliga star, Kolo Muani is really substantially a infant Bleu, possessing only made a couple of late substitute appearances against Austria and Denmark in September.
In the first couple of weeks of the tournament, as Jepson and her colleagues were crisscrossing the nation, Euro 2022 seemed to be breaking a distinct record every single day. Euro 2022 has enabled them to flesh out scouting reports on players they have been monitoring for some time, as nicely as maintain an eye out for anyone who could possibly have previously escaped their notice. "Persons are going to get pleasure from the stadium. It was built on the old web page, where the former national stadium was. The renovation started immediately after EURO 2016 and was completed about two years ago. It really is in the heart of the city – it is component of the city.
On to additional time, and then penalties, exactly where both goalkeepers saved two history, even though, belongs to Donnarumma the victor. On the same day that France have been overwhelming Belgium, the Danes have been also winning by a five-purpose margin in Lyon. Despite the fact that Yugoslavia had been two down inside 16 minutes, it was not till Frank Arnesen's penalty midway through the second half that the dam burst. Five teams have racked up 5-aim winning margins in EURO fixtures, the very first two producing hay on the same day – and Spain the newest to join the club soon after defeating Slovakia 5- at EURO 2020.
These are the confirmed matchdays with the precise kick-off times anticipated to be confirmed by UEFA immediately after a consultation process with rights holders.

The Champions League group stage draw has produced an intriguing group of death in this year's edition of the competitors.
The federation mentioned they will not have any get in touch with with the players previously chosen for the European tournament. Insigne has formed a robust partnership with Ciro Immobile, who has lastly been in a position to translate his scoring good results in Serie A to the international stage. The previous coach, Gian Piero Ventura, lost the squad's support through a Planet Cup playoff loss to Sweden when he left Insigne — regarded the team's most talented player — on the bench.
"There are fewer people than I expected, but still, it is a very good vibe right here," he stated. "Every person is friendly and it's really a good location to watch a fantastic game with like-minded football fans." With memories of the greatest-ever UEFA Women's EURO nevertheless fresh in everyone's minds, the newest edition of UEFA Direct shines a light on a amazing tournament that took women's football to thrilling new heights. For France, Zinedine Zidane scored a penalty in the 33rd minute of the match. Portugal failed to uncover an equalizer as France knocked them out of the competitors.
