Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs Speaks Out On Lack Of Diversity Among 2016 Oscar Nominees
January 14, 2016 - 5:33 pm by Camille Augustin TWITTER
"Of course I am disappointed, but this is not to take away the greatness (of the films nominated)."
Earlier Thursday morning (Jan. 14), the Academy announced this year's contenders for an Oscar trophy. While a few revered films made the cut, other prominent and groundbreaking motion pictures were left off the list, or at least in the bigger categories like Best Picture, Best Director, or Best Lead Actor/Actress.
Now, Academy president, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, shared her thoughts on the controversial occurrence. In a brief interview with Deadline, Isaacs expressed her despair, but also praised the popularity of the movies that were recognized.
"Of course I am disappointed, but this is not to take away the greatness (of the films nominated). This has been a great year in film, it really has across the board," she said. "You are never going to know what is going to appear on the sheet of the paper until you see it. We have got to speed it up."
The lack of diversity in this year's Oscars list also reignited the Twitter topic, #OscarsSoWhite, which highlighted films such as Straight Outta Compton, Beasts Of No Nation, and Creed that should've received top nods ahead of the forthcoming showcase.
Besides Will Smith, and Michael B, Idris Elba was snubbed plus writer and director Ryan Coogler. I refuse to watch #OscarsSoWhite.

I'm not even asking for charity, these under represented minorities DESERVE it #OscarsSoWhite
— Shamarria Morrison (@TheShaMor) January 14, 2016
#OscarsSoWhite isnt just lack of noms, its also lack of representation for POC in Hollywood. We cant get noms if we arent part of the films

Cardi B Lands Leading Role In Comedy 'Assisted Living'
Cardi B is making her way back to the big screen. The Bronx native officially landed her first leading role in the upcoming Paramount comedy, Assisted Living.
According to Variety, Cardi will play a small time crook struggling to find a hiding place after her latest heist fails. Her character, "Amber," disguises herself as an elderly woman and hides out at her grandmother's nursing home. The film is described as a "raucous comedy" similar to Mrs. Doubtfire and Sister Act.
Paramount acquired the rights to Assisted Living in 2019. The film's script was penned by This Is Us writer, Kay Oyegun.
Cardi, 28, made her film debut in the 2019 celeb-heavy stripper flick, Hustlers. The "WAP" rapper appears to have hinted at her Assisted Living role in a recent interview with Billboard where she dished on filming scenes for Fast & Furious 9.
"After 'Hustlers' I filmed a little bit for 'Fast & Furious' so I felt like 'I'm ready for this,' I knew what to expect," she explained. "But the characters were a little different so I was like 'Oh wow, I'm going to need more acting classes.' I'm planning on doing a movie this year and I'm going to be the lead role so I'm like 'I need to execute this flawlessly.'"
Besides film, Cardi was a judge on the Netflix completion show, Rhythm & Flow, and landed her own Facebook Watch series, Cardi Tries.

Wendy Williams Reveals She Was Date Raped By '80s R&B Singer
Wendy Williams revealed that she was date raped by '80s R&B singer, Sherrick, early in her radio career. The talk show host shared the story with reporters while promoting her Lifetime biopic Wendy Williams: The Movie on Tuesday (Jan. 12).
"He mesmerized me with his twinkling eyes," she recalled. "He flipped the interview around to where he was interviewing me — I was just gaga over this man and he asked me to go to an album release party with him that night.
"Before the party, I was date raped by him," said Williams.
Sherrick, born Lamotte Smith, was a member of the group Kagny, whose song is featured on The Last Dragon soundtrack. He signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1987 and scored a marginal hit with the single "Just Call" off his debut self-titled album. Sherrick struggled with sobriety but declared himself "drug-free" before dying of unknown causes in 1999.
Williams says that she was raped in Sherrick's Washington D.C. hotel room and it, unfortunately, wasn't her first time being sexually assaulted. The New Jersey native had been date raped in college. "Those types of things happen to girls all the time and they've been happening a lot, to a lot of our mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers, and their great-great-grandmothers too."
From the sounds of it, Sherrick's widow doesn't exactly believe Williams' story. She not only questioned Williams' account but wondered why she waited so long to go public, and why she didn't call police at the time of the incident.
"As I will never minimize or dismiss the horrid actions of sexual assault, I am saddened that Ms. Williams feels the need to publicly make these allegations when the man she is accusing is no longer on this earth to defend himself," Lynne Conner Smith said in a statement to Page Six. "Our family does not know Ms. Williams and are not aware of any relationship or encounter they may have had."
The sexual assault will be chronicled in the film, as well as other details from Williams' life -- like her rise to talk show fame, her battle with drug addiction, and marriage to ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
Wendy Williams: The Movie premieres on Lifetime on Jan. 30.

YFN Lucci Denied Bond After Turning Himself In On Murder Charge
YFN Lucci turned himself in to Atlanta Police on Wednesday (Jan. 13) in connection with the murder of a man believed to be apart of his crew. The 29-year-old rapper, whose birth name is Rayshawn Bennett, is currently being held without bond at Fulton County Jail.
Lucci faces a felony murder charge, in addition to aggravated assault, participation in street gang activity, and possession of a firearm in commission of a felony. He was denied bond at a court hearing Thursday (Jan. 14).
A day before he surrendered, Atlanta Police held a press conference asking the public for details leading to his arrest.
"The presumption of innocence is a fundamental constitutional right for every citizen," Lucci's lawyer said in a statement to CNN. "We have no further comments at this time."
The victim, James Adams, was riding in a car with Lucci when they drove into rival gang territory, TMZ reports. Adams and Lucci were supposedly in the front seat of an SUV allegedly shooting at rival gang members when Adams got hit by return fire.
In a 911 call published by the outlet, a witness can be heard telling the operator that a male (Adams) was hanging from the side of an SUV. "They just pushed him out the truck and left him for dead," the caller says.
Another victim, Kevin Wright, was shot at least once in the abdomen. Wright, however, was reportedly able to drive himself to a nearby fire station for help.
Lucci was the third suspect to be arrested in connection with the fatal shooting.

Andrea Guardini (Farnese Vini-Neri Sottoli) underlined why he is one of Italian cycling's most prized young talents with a wonderful sprint victory on the final stage of the Tour of Qatar. The neo-professional took the win ahead of his fellow countryman Francesco Chicchi (Quick Step), while Mark Renshaw (HTC-Highroad) finished safely in the pack and secured the overall victory.
Guardini returns to action at Settimana Coppi e Bartali
After dominating the flat stages at January's Tour de Langkawi, Guardini showed that those five wins were no flash in the pan with an intelligent sprint on Doha's Al Corniche. The 21-year-old found himself boxed in 300 metres from the line but refused to panic. Instead he bided his time to find space when Theo Bos (Rabobank) moved off the barriers and then unleashed a devastating finishing kick.

While Bos faded to finish in 3rd, Francesco Chicchi was closing fast all the way to the line on the opposite side of the road, but Guardini's explosive acceleration 100 metres out was enough to see him get the nod in a tight finish over the man who won this stage twelve months ago. Ironically, Guardini revealed afterwards that it was Chicchi himself who had explained the subtleties of the finishing straight to him.
"300 metres out I was still back in 15th or 20th place, but I remembered that Chicchi told me that he was well back 300 metres out last year too, it's a strange finish," Guardini said. "I believed until the end, and little by little the riders in front fell away as there was a head wind and I managed to go on the right hand side."
Guardini also pointed out that he was conscious to launch his sprint on that side of the road. "The finish was slightly curving to the right, so I had a slightly shorter path by going down the right hand side," he said.
Neither overall winner Mark Renshaw, nor second-placed Heinrich Haussler (Garmin-Cervélo) made any real impact in what was a chaotic final sprint. After Leopard Trek had marshalled the finishes earlier the week in the hope of piloting Daniele Bennati to victory, Friday's final stage saw the entire bunch arrive together.
Earlier in the stage, however, Renshaw had managed to pick up a bonus second behind the breakaway on each of the intermediate sprints, meaning that he was content to mark his fellow countryman Haussler in the final in order to wrap up the gold jersey.
"We were really hoping a breakaway would get clear," Renshaw explained. "But those sprints gave me the confidence for the finish to follow Haussler, which was the tactic."
Renshaw is nominally Mark Cavendish's lead-out man at HTC-Highroad, but when handed his opportunity to lead in Qatar, he grabbed it with both hands. "I didn't expect to be in the position of winning the Tour of Qatar at the start of the week," he said. "Unfortunately Mark Cavendish had his crash [in the prologue] and the focus shifted to me."
Early chaos
The final stage of the Tour of Qatar had no sooner begun before it was halted again after a crash at the rear of the peloton saw a number of riders take a tumble. As the crash took place in the neutralised zone, the race was stopped to allow the fallers to retake their place in the bunch. Among those to go down were Tom Boonen (Quick Step) and Giovanni Visconti (Farnese Vini-Neri Sottoli), and the Italian champion, already the victim of two crashes earlier in the week, abandoned soon afterwards.
When the racing got underway in earnest, the pace was hot for the first 10km until Greg Van Avermaet (BMC) and Gediminias Bagdonas (An Post-Sean Kelly) powered clear. With HTC-Highroad keen to let a breakaway snaffle up the bonus seconds ahead, the duo were given their head, while Garmin-Cervélo kept tabs on them to ensure their advantage didn't get out of hand before reaching the Doha finishing circuit.
By the first intermediate sprint, the pair had five minutes over the peloton. Renshaw took the sprint for third and he would repeat the feat on the second sprint in Doha, thus opening his lead over Heinrich Haussler to 8 seconds ahead of the finale.
Van Avermaet and Bagdonas continued to battle gamely up front on the nine laps of the 6km course up and down Doha's Al Corniche, but with the Garmin-Cervélo-led bunch gradually notching up the pace, the must surely have known that theirs was a futile endeavour. With two laps to go, their lead was down a minute, and they were swallowed up soon afterwards as the peloton sped towards the finish.
The final lap saw the first bona fide bunch sprint of the race as it was the first stage in which the wind hadn't seriously depleted the peloton. From the chaos, it was Guardini who emerged victorious, while Renshaw had already done more than enough to take a deserved overall win.
As ever, the Tour of Qatar has provided some interesting pointers as to who might be the power players at the classics in April, but it may also have been a very significant step forwards in the careers of two fast finishers, Guardini and Renshaw.

Italian neo-pro rested for Tirreno-Adriatico and Milan-San Remo


Creating visualisations of historic buildings and interiors from partial evidence requires realistically implementable strategies for managing the evidence upon which they are based and for documenting the decisions taken concerning the selection and value judgements made about that evidence. This paradata is essential for scholarly audiences for whom the degree of authentication and probability of correctness are central issues in developing trusted research. Several methods of generating this paradata are already recorded in the literature but while often systematic they are also complex and largely text based and for this reason it is recognised that their use is still the exception rather than the norm. In early 2014 Archaeologists at the University of Leicester in the UK discovered the remains of King Richard III, who died in 1485. This internationally important archaeological discovery prompted Leicester City Council to commission the Digital Building Heritage Group at De Montfort University to use the newly discovered archaeological evidence and pre-existing literary and circumstantial evidence to create a highly detailed digital reconstruction for public exhibition of the now lost church and medieval precinct in which the king was buried. The international scrutiny surrounding this case required particular quality control over the paradata and the required development time for the reconstruction also required that any process used should be efficient, and practical to implement in a compressed time-frame. Experience was therefore drawn from quality control techniques in processes in the construction industry to authenticate decision-making using a particular form of drawing we call "body-maps". These are graphic representations which specify options applicable to generic 2D and 3D representations of buildings and artefacts allow their development and change in design, allow the recording, over marking and notation of selections made, alternatives proposed, final decisions arrived at and official endorsement or "signing off" of the final visualisation. We have found this diagram based approach a time and cost efficient vehicle for generating a rich and accurate paradata record and one which can be easily stored digitally and retrieved for future examination. One of its advantages is that because they are largely graphical in format the "body-map" drawings can be read in chronological sequence and so provide a narrative with minimal use of explicitly narrative text. Factors which affect the method's use are the need for personnel who can use simple computer based drawing packages like Sketchup and Photoshop to create and modify the base "body-maps" and a willingness amongst the participants to engage in basic hand-drawing diagramming and over-marking on paper print-outs. Interestingly we found that formal drawing ability has little if any effect upon the utility of the process with all participants from a range of backgrounds able to intuitively engage with it. Furthermore the process actively encourages thoughtful and reflective practice and the development of shared frames of reference between different disciplines. This paper explains the detail of the process we have developed, with examples of body-maps and their use, the resulting reconstructions and the methods we propose to archive and curate the paradata arising from it.
Documentation of an innovative documentation methodology developed in the course of a project comissioned by Leicester City Council to create exhibition content for their King Richard III visitor center which opened in 2015, in Leicester, UK.


Iam grateful I've lived,loved,fell,rose,fought,and stumbled again and again,but in the end of all dis trials,I found me. The diffrent me dat healed,moved, love,forgives,forgets and sees every new day as a chance and challenge. September girl know more than she say thinks more than she speaks. Today am a new me with beautiful shirt, buy it now if you want it.
Do you love this shirt? Then this shirt is perfect for anyone who are sweet september girl. High quality with more style and color variety that you choose. Buy it today before lose it forever.
I won't even talk about the recreation of my designs painstakingly made by fans. I incredibly moved every time I see one of your costumes, a knit bit, a pair of mitts. No award can ever compare. I know we haven't done every bit perfectly. I read all the comments, because your opinions are important to me. Sometimes I have made choices that you have hated. September girl know more than she say thinks more than she speaks. That's okay with me. It is not possible to make every person happy, every single time. But you must know, that there has never been a lack of care, a lack of love. About the costumes, or about you. I think I could speak for everyone and say that is the feeling from top to bottom on Outlander, from everyone who works on it.

Q: Opacity from 0 to 1 animation not working on Firefox As the title says, this animation is not working on Firefox.
I am running this animation through JavaScript after a few seconds by using:
document.getElementById('my_id').style.webkitAnimationPlayState = "running";

I also tried:
style.animationPlayState

In the same file, changing the background-color animation works perfectly.
My conclusion is, there is something wrong with opacity on Firefox?
#my_id {
  opacity: 0;
  animation: animation 1s;
  animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  animation-play-state: paused;
  -webkit-animation: animation 1s;
  -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  -webkit-animation-play-state: paused;
  -moz-animation: animation 1s;
  -moz-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
  -moz-animation-play-state: paused;
}
@keyframes animation {
  0% {opacity: 0;}
  50% {opacity: 1;}
  100% {opacity: 0.2;}
}

The above CSS is from the element I want to animate.

A: Instead of using JavaScript to add -webkit-animation-play-state, just add a class to your #my_id div using onload that includes all of the browser prefixes.
JavaScript
window.onload = function() {
  document.getElementById("my_id").className += "running";
}

CSS
#my_id.running {
  -webkit-animation-play-state: running;
  -moz-animation-play-state: running;
  animation-play-state: running;
}

The above code adds the .running class to your #my_id element, which declares animation-play-state: running, including the browser prefixes. You can test the above code by checking out my example that uses your code. I've tested it and it works in Firefox (51), Chrome, Opera, & Safari.

PML-Z Chief and MNA Mohammad Ijazul Haq claimed that his party will extend all-out support to the government on the issues of national importance.
"We will go to any extent for defending national interest as we have already devised our priority that the policy, pertaining to war on terror should be reviewed and all agreements made by the Musharraf regime must be abolished."
He stated this while addressing a function organised by Ch Tahir Bashir in his honour at his residence in Farid Town here the other night.
MNA Ch Ashraf, former federal minister Ch Nouraiz Shakoor, SCCI President M H Zahid, General Secy Ch Zulfiqar, members of civil society and a large number of notables were also present on the occasion. The PML-Z chief pointed out that the Parliament and stakeholders should sit to gather and decide future line of action about drone attacks.
He stressed that drone attacks should be stopped at once as it had been carried out with connivance of government in the past. He said that the country was faced with severe energy crisis which was aggravated by circular debts and rampant electricity pilferage. Ijazul Haq suggested that Wapda should be privatized and all its wings like Pepco should be dismantled. The PML-Z chief also proposed diverting all development funds towards power generation for two years to overcome the crippling energy crisis, adding that such steps would result in boosting both agricultural and industrial production which usher in a new era of prosperity and development in the country.
Ijazul Haq asserted that only 1985 general elections were fair while that of the 1988 elections were rigged.
He alleged that the Election Commission was failed to hold fair and free general elections and termed elections 2013 as the worst seen in the world. He said that election commission should take stock of prevailing situation wherein all the political parties had serious objection about polls results. The PML-Z chief declared that the appointment of retired judges in the election tribunal was tantamount to promoting corruption and they will not be able to deliver justice to aggrieved candidates.

All staff and students must obey posted signage regarding parking on campus. Habitual violators will be towed away at the owner's expense, as ample parking is available on the campus. Individuals who park in fire zones may be subject to immediate towing without a warning or ticket.
Parking is allowed only in areas designated by two parallel yellow lines.
Vehicles illegally parked in fire lane zones or near fire hydrants are subject to city fines as well as towing and/or college fines.
The areas on campus marked "Loading Zone" are to be used only by those loading and unloading (15 minute maximum).
Designated "Handicapped Parking" requires a special license plate or permit. Violators will be subject to city fines as well as campus fines.
When parallel parking in designated areas, vehicles must be headed in the direction of traffic.
Campers and trailers are not allowed to park on campus unless special permission is granted by the Safe Campus Coordinator or the Dean of Learner Instructional and Support Services.
The speed limit on campus is 15 mph (all roadways and parking lots). Violators are subject to city ordinances in regard to speeding, as well as campus fines.
All stop signs and yield signs must be observed.
Owners and operators of any motorcycles, off road vehicles, mopeds, or motor scooters are advised of the following additional regulations.
Park in well-lighted areas where your car can be seen.
Avoid isolated areas: areas with frequent pedestrian traffic are the most secure.
Be sure windows are completely closed.
Do not bring unnecessary valuable items to campus.
Do not leave valuable items, such as cameras, CDs, cash, jewelry, tools, in plain sight in your vehicle. Either take them with you or discretely lock them in the trunk. If you do not have a trunk, place them out of sight on the floor or beneath a seat. A thief may be looking for easy targets, so it is best to do this before arriving at your parking spot.
Radios and CD players are valuable and popular, and are often stolen. If you have a pull-out stereo, remember to remove it when you leave the car. Keep the doors locked.
You may want to consider putting an anti-theft device in your car. Steering wheel locking devices are both easy to install and inexpensive. Car alarms, especially the ones that disable the vehicle's starter when activated, can be convenient and effective.


does anyone know if there is a download manager for rapidshare for the N0503 or any other NAS?
I'd love a decent http/https download daemon with a web interface. MLdonkey can download from http but its d**n slow as it doesn't use multiple sockets to download like axel/DownThemAll!/Reget.
If you know of any for unix/linux I'd have a go at creating a module.
dybuk it'll be wonderfull if it work there's the function ! that's makes this nases perfect !
take your time and have a nice week !


the story of an underdog team and their road to victory.
over the past couple years, i've been able to experience the ups, downs, highs, and lows of the high school football season care of the hubs as a coach. last year, we spent our season with the hayward high farmers and this season, we're back home with the hubs alma mater, bolivar central.


We had to go in bare bones as a new start-up, but proud to have taken part and many valuable insights gained.
This week, I can advise we've launched the GPS Tracking services via our new website, see below.
Below I discuss connecting remote telemetry or datalogging applications with the latest craze in M2M connectivity, namely LP-WAN (Low Power-WAN), these include LoRaWAN, Sigfox, but also Cellular, WiFi, Iridium, and 900MHz RF communications interfaces.
No matter what your application might be, we can connect it, track it, and safeguard those assets.
LYNX Tracking offers a range of GPS Tracker units to be installed in powered or unpowered, stationary or mobile equipment - YOUR CHOICE.
Various communications options are available such as: 3G, Sigfox (Thinxtra), LoRaWAN, Iridium satellite, WiFi, 900MHz RF, and the upcoming NB-IoT.
Added to the product for use, we have also built a referral system in this offer, and for some it may be a source of additional revenue. Read more about that via the above website.
The product is called "LYNX FLEXI-1 IoT Gateway"
This device is a stand-alone "Datalogger" or RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit) or IoT Gateway, all depends on your application. It operates off internal batteries, or can be remotely powered.
Internally, there's a microprocessor board with embedded Linux performing various data acquisition and control functions. The embedded firmware sends the captured data on preset configurations to the Cloud or custom TCP/UDP interfaces. Via the Cloud we have a dataconnector to send in JSON REST as an example. So this is very easy to integrate into any Cloud, Web or Enterprise application.
All setup, and configurations is done via a Cloud Remote Device Management application.
The beauty of this product is the flexible communications interface, which works off the miniPCIe form-factor, and allows for various communications cards to be used.
In between the two rows of terminals, the LYNX FELXI-1 hosts the miniPCIe communications card. Installed is a 3G cellular card.
We're working on CAT-1 LTE, and early awaiting CAT-NB1 (NB-IoT) modules.
Walt Technologies' primary focus is the synthesis of solutions to enable the Internet of Things (IoT), albeit focussed on Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and also encompassing Industry 4.0 style standards.
These technologies involve the connectivity of edge devices (Routers, Modems, Gateways, RTUs, Edge Interface units), either attended or unattended, where the edge devices connect to assets (customer equipment) to be monitored, measured and controlled, then connecting these edge devices wired or wirelessly to a business back-end system, either in the Cloud or in customers own premises.
In realising the end-to-end connectivity, Walt Technologies primarily focuses on solutions that include global standards for connectivity including Wired (xDSL, WAN, LAN, Fibre), Cellular (3G, 4G / LTE - CAT-X, CAT-1, CAT-0, LTE-M), ISM band wireless (WiFi, Bluetooth), IEEE 802.15.4 RF (Zigbee, ZWave, Mesh, Point-toPoint, Point-to-Multipoint), Low Power WAN or LP-WAN (Sigfox, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT).
Should you need any advice or assistance with your applications, I would be happy to discuss your detailed requirements further. Reach out to me on any of the below contact details.

Liberty Hall was the venue for the North Inner city Drug Task Force's 'Together - Making a Difference' exhibition on the 27th September. Aside from Joan Byrne's speech at the event, SAOL was well represented - as the photos below indicate. Our thanks and congratulations to Patricia, Mel and Miriam for all your work and organisational skills.
Congratulations to all those who received certificates for their participation in the Xplore Programme. Who said talking about our addiction experiences had to be hard?!
The SAOL girls and boy were flying high today as they had a look at Dublin from on high! Complained that the 'in-house' recorded description of the view didn't say much about the Northside - they'd better get their act together given their location!
Completion of FETAC Modules in 'Food and Nutrition', 'Food and Cookery', 'Living in a Diverse Society' and 'Textiles' meant that certificates needed to be handed out. the ceremony took place on Friday 27th August, 2010. Congratulations to all.
The day also saw the departure of our Education Workers, and we wish her much success in her new path along with thanks for the work she did during her time with us.
During June and July, the SAOL Sisters found their Mojo. As part of their Music Appreciation FETAC module, they recorded a self-penned song called 'My children, My Life'. The song used the music from Cat Steven's 'Father and Son' and therefore, for copyright purposes, we cannot make it available here. But if you drop by SAOL, we might just play it for you!
SAOL at the Council of Europe. Gary Broderick went to Strasbourg to take part in the Pompidou Group's Conference on Stimulant Abuse Treatment. SAOL's presentation is available on request.
Two new initiatives start this month - and both for mothers and their children. The Mother and Baby Group began on the 5th May and will meet every Wednesday at 10:30a.m. As the name suggests, it's a support group for mothers with new babies (anyone under 12mths old). A relaxed and peaceful environment where nappies, bottles and baby-talk is not only normal but fully expected!
The second group is the Mother and Child Group - a group designed to give a bit of time to busy mothers and busy children. Built around activities like cooking, art and trips, this group hopes to provide a space for mothers and children to spend some good time together away from the busy home environment. All activities will be negotiated with the participants and again, the group is open to anyone from the North Inner City - although, if we don't know you we'll have to get to know you first before bringing you into the group. You do, of course, have to bring your mother with you. And if it suits better, we'll arrange sessions for mothers and children or families on their own. Groups currently take place on Monday afternoons.

Arpilleras are 3D textiles from Latin America made by women during the dictatorship of General Pinochet and tell the stories of their lives. On 28th April, LYCS hosted a workshop on the Arpillera, conducted by Roberta Bacic, a Chilean curator and human rights activist.Our participants, having just recently completed their module on arts and craft, related very well to the medium – as expressed in the pictures below.
Congratulations to our participants who graduated in their FETAC Personal Development and Presentation module - a great celebration with photographs below to prove it!
In celebration of International Women's Day 2010, SAOL participants took part in the Local Global Women's Partnership event celebrating women's creativity and dreams. Congratulations to all for a wonderful event - some of the photos below indicate how much fun was had!
Our congratulations are sent to Ger O'Rourke who, this month, graduated from her BA Degree in Applied Addiction Studies with First Class Honours. Her final thesis on addiction to crack cocaine in the North Inner city has helped the SAOL Project further formulate our response to stimulant addiction in the area. Maith an cailín.
With the guidance of Business in the Community, SAOL was connected up with KPMG and on October 16th, SAOL welcomed by a gang of KPMG volunteers armed with paint-brushes, overalls and paint. Our building was fantastically re-decorated, emerging with newly painted stairs, training rooms, computer room and sensory room. KPMG went further by putting down new carpets throughout the building. Thank you all so much - a good environment makes all the difference for our participants and our staff.
In support of the Community Sector, the Trade Unions organised a major march to Government buildings from Parnell Square to highlight the role of the Community Sector and the unfairness of the proposed cuts to this sector. SAOL participants happily joined in, adding their voices to this important demonstration.
Through funding from Dublin Bus and the NICDTF, we were able to renovate the garden and put down all-weather grass (so that the children have access all year round; we were also able to make our smoking shelter compliant to Health and Safety standards. The following pictures show how the finished product came about!

Queer City
Imprint: Vintage
Gay London from the Romans to the Present Day
Peter Ackroyd
'Droll, provocative and crammed to busting with startling facts' Simon Callow, Guardian
In this powerful Sunday Times bestseller Peter Ackroyd looks at London in a whole new way – through the history and experiences of its gay population.
In Roman Londinium the city was dotted with lupanaria ('wolf dens' or public pleasure houses), fornices (brothels) and thermiae (hot baths). Then came the Emperor Constantine, with his bishops, monks and missionaries. And so began an endless loop of alternating permissiveness and censure.
Ackroyd takes us right into the hidden history of the city; from the notorious Normans to the frenzy of executions for sodomy in the early nineteenth century. He journeys through the coffee bars of sixties Soho to Gay Liberation, disco music and the horror of AIDS.
Today, we live in an era of openness and tolerance and Queer London has become part of the new norm. Ackroyd tells us the hidden story of how it got there, celebrating its diversity, thrills and energy on the one hand; but reminding us of its very real terrors, dangers and risks on the other.
After his mammoth, shamanic aria London: the Biography, the remarkable writer Peter Ackroyd has produced a nimble, uproarious pocket history of sex in his beloved metropolis
Alasdair Lees, Independent
Ackroyd has an encyclopaedic knowledge of London, and a poet's instinct for its strange, mesmerising drives and urges ... Queer City contains something to alarm or fascinate on every page
Craig Brown, The Mail on Sunday
Droll, provocative and crammed to busting with startling facts

Q: iMac 20" Intel - Win7 Install Does Not Support Bootcamp 64-bit?
Possible Duplicate:
Windows 7 64 bit not booting with Intel iMac (Mid-2007 model)

The Scenario
I have a 20"Intel iMac running OSX Leopard.
The computer was dual booted using bootcamp to run win xp 32-bit.
I have just erased this partition and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
When I insert my leopard disk to install bootcamp drivers it fails with the error message:
'Version Does Not Support 64-bit Bootcamp'
However
I also have a brand new MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I was able to partition the hardrive on the MacBook and install a copy of Windows 7 evaluation version and then install bootcamp drivers from the Snow Leopard disk.
Question 1
I can't understand why the iMac cannot install the 64bit drivers from the leopard disk, is this because Leopard is not full 64-bit?
Question 2
Is the reason that the MacBook can support the snow leopard 64-bit drivers to do with the fact that it is running an evaluation copy of windows 7?
Question 3
If I upgrade the iMac to Snow Leopard will I then be able to install the bootcamp 64-bit drivers on that copy of Windows 7 Ultimate?
Will I have to completely reinstall windows 7 ultimate in order for windows to recognise the snow leopard upgrade to full 64-bit?
Very Confused
Help greatly appreciated.

A: Just to quote from a previous question on this:

Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit
  editions work with certain Intel-based
  Mac computers via Boot Camp, which is
  included with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.

So it's most likely not supported for you iMac.
But according to Chris you can:

Actually you can, and here is the blog
  post detailing how!
Windows Vista x64 and here is the
  addendum for Windows 7 x64

This might not answer all your questions, but it does explain why you're having problems. I guess the answers would be: No, No and No...


The European Union unanimously vetoed General Electric's $41 billion purchase of Honeywell International Inc. - one of the world's largest industrial mergers ever. However, GE chairman Jack Welch left open the possibility of an appeal, calling the rejection a "setback." The ruling was widely expected after the companies failed to ease European fears that the deal would create an unfairly dominant position in markets for jetliner engines and aircraft electronics. Following the EU's decision, Michael Bonsignore resigned as chairman and chief executive of Honeywell.
Philips, the Dutch electronics group, is buying Marconi's Medical Systems business for $1.1 billion, making it the world's No. 2 manufacturer of medical diagnostic-imaging equipment. The takeover bid was reportedly half of what analysts said the business was worth. For U.K.-based Marconi, the deal is part of its strategy to sell everything but its core telecoms equipment business.
The German semi-public bank Bankgesellschaft Berlin reportedly plans to cut 4,164 jobs - nearly a third of its total workforce -by 2005, as part of a restructuring program to get the troubled bank back on its feet.

Is 'out of print' running out of time?
Image – iStockphoto: tzahiV
Never being 'out of print' is not good news
You can't self-publish. Because you can't get your rights back. And your book is nowhere to be seen.
Kill the entire outmoded concept of "out of print." Instead, the contract should define when book rights are being "inadequately exploited" and therefore available for reversion to the author when the book fails to generate a certain amount of income—say, $250–$500—in a one-year period. Using income as the yardstick, not a specific number of sales, is essential: Publishers might otherwise be able to game the clause by offering one-cent e-books the way they've gamed existing clauses by using e-books and print-on-demand.
Mary Rasenberger
To a layman's ear, it sounds great: Digital means never having to say you're "out of print," right? Ebooks are forever. Great.
No, not so great. Not if the rights to produce your book and sell it are held by a company that's not doing anything commercially worthwhile with it — and not letting you do the job, yourself, as a self-publisher, either.
In its series of white papers on publishing contract reform, the Authors Guild — led by executive director Mary Rasenberger (pictured) — is holding up the concepts of reversion-of-rights clauses and "out of print" as particularly onerous to authors. In A Publishing Contract Should Not Be Forever, the Guild writes:
Publishers have cleverly managed to craft "out of print" clauses that make it almost impossible for authors to recapture their rights.
In comments on that article — yes, the Authors Guild's administration now allows comments — you'll find the author Harry Bingham engaging with the material. It's Bingham whose Do You Love Your Publisher? #authorsay survey with Jane Friedman saw its results released in April exclusively by The Bookseller. Now, he writes to the Guild's points:
The auto-reversion clause needs to be linked in some way to advance or projected sales. Plenty of bigger books launched by Big 5 type publishers will accumulate $250 of sales in a 6-month period simply by kicking around on Amazon, without any care and attention from the publisher at all. If the sales test were, say, 5% of total advance accrued in any six-month period, that would be a genuinely flexible and responsive test. So a book acquired for $50,000 would need to sell $2500 in any six-month period to stay above the reversion line. A book acquired for $1000 would need to sell just $50 worth.
…But wow. Great article. Great change of heart. Stay tough on those reversion limits though. The point is to force meaningful change, not look after publishers' income statements.
Joe Konrath
And here's the US author J.A. Konrath in those comments at Authors Guild, writing, "Kudos to the Authors Guild for blogging in support of authors, and finally having the courage to allow comments.
I specifically mentioned this contractual problem three years ago, and chided the AG for not doing anything about it, in a post on my blog called "Unconscionability".
Of course, being Konrath, his proud trademark — that chiding — may be the only thing that goes on longer than life-of-copyright:
And now I'll chide you again.
See? But his points highlight how widespread the demand for contract reform is becoming. And Konrath's remarks are central to a newly empowered author base's understanding of its own obligations. He's clarifying that it is the job of the author corps, inclusive of the Guild, to address this and other contract reform needs as they see them. So it is that his impatience with the Guild reflects that of many and stands as part of this debate:
Authors have known that a publishing contract that lasts for a lifetime is bad, and we've known it for decades. Simply acknowledging that the cow has left the barn isn't enough.
To be worthy of the name "Authors Guild" you have to do more than state the obvious. You have to do something to help and protect authors. Coming to an obvious conclusion, years late, isn't progressive, and it isn't helpful.
Barry Eisler
The author Barry Eisler has a similar take, in his own chorus of "where have you been?"
Not to be too uncharitable to the AG, and yeah, better late than never, but holy smokes, you're only now getting around to even just *mentioning* these things? Forget about the fact that talking is as far as the Collective Voice of American Authors has ever had the courage to take things with legacy publishers… you're only just now figuring out that forever is, you know, maybe a tad long for a licensing agreement to run?
The Guild is big enough to handle some carping about being late to address contract reforms.
And it's a long-standing tradition in the author camp to bash each other (in this case pounding the Guild for its late arrival on the battlefield) while riding into the fray together. What's important to recognise here is that this is a new level of interaction between the organisation and some of the leading self-publishing and hybrid-publishing players in the market. With comments now open on the Guild's site, a long strangled debate can go forward. That, in itself, is progress, even if the venerable scouts, the Eisler-Konrath wing, feel they need to slag the cavalry while saddling up.

The British Magazine, Volume 9
I have before me the " Catholic Magazine and Review" of January, 1833, and copy the words from the translation therein provided. How, I ask, can this by any possibility be made to agree with the following assertion of the Bishop of Liga (Baines),
in his sermon on the dedication of the Roman-catholic chapel at' Bradford :—"We worship no creature whatever, and therefore not the saints ; but at least we pray to them. Yes, my Christian brethren, just as St. Paul prayed to his own converts, or 1 pray to you. Under this persuasion, I say to them as I just now said to you, Holy Mary, holy Peter, holy Paul, pray for me. What is there in reason or revelation to forbid me to do so ?" See also the " Protestant Journal" of January, 1834. Here it is clear that either the Bishop of Rome or the Bishop of Liga have grievously misunderstood and misrepresented the doctrine of their own church, it being quite evident to the most careless reader that the Bishop of Rome prays to St. Peter and St. Paul in a sense totally different from that in which St. Paul prayed to his converts ! Let Roman-catholics freely take their choice whether they will be disciples of the Vatican or of Prior Park, and consider impartially which authority is the highest. Two more examples, and I have done. In the Litany of Loretto, which is to be found in Bishop Challoner's " Garden of the Soul," a book which has had some circulation among the Roman-catholics of this country, we have the following prayer :-"We fly to thy patronage, O sacred mother of God; despise not our prayers in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O ever glorious and blessed virgin." Again, I ask, is this the manner in which St. Paul prayed to his converts, or the Bishop of Liga prays to his congregation? Can we ask more than this of the one true God, or ask it more directly?. St. Bonaventure, a Roman saint and cardinal, turned the book of Psalms into a formulary of prayer and praise to the virgin. The following is one out of the many instances :-" Have mercy upon me, O lady, who art called the mother of mercy, and according to the bowels of thy mercies cleanse me from all mine iniquities." Lastly, see No. 410 of the list on the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, called "Faber's Facts and Assertions," page 49 :-" Hail, Mary, lady and mistress of the world, to whom all power has been given in heaven and in earth !" Be assured that it affords me no pleasure or satisfaction to be able to collect such evidence of the idolatrous practices of any branch of the Christian church; but I think it of the highest importance that the truth should be known and proclaimed, especially at a time like the present, when agents are busy in all quarters" beguiling unstable souls.
On a future occasion I will, if you permit me, consider the degree of worship given by the Romish church to images.
I am, Sir, yours sincerely, A LAYMAN.
ON MR. NEWMAN'S CHARACTER OF LOT.-SERMONS, VOL. III. Sir, I am sure that Mr. Newman would immediately agree with me, that whenever we venture to infer the unrecorded motive from the
recorded action, and then from both to draw the character of a man, even to the blameable habits or opinions that made him susceptible of the motives we have ventured to assign, the greatest caution should be used at every step of so hazardous a process.
According to that gentleman's view of Lot's character, he is an example of "common men who are religious to a certain point, and inconsistent in their lives, not aiming at perfection." The first error charged against him is his choice of the valley of the Jordan, of which Luther says, "Scriptura non dicit malum an bonum fecerit opus." It has, indeed, been generally supposed that this was the choice of a covetous man, who thought more of the rich pastures than of the sinful inhabitants; but I am persuaded that it was not so certainly an indication of covetousness as to justify us in charging that idolatry upon him.
I believe that this notion arose from supposing that the fertility of the country is mentioned as what excited the cupidity of Lot. But another reason for the mention of it seems to me at least equally probable. The persons for whom Moses was immediately writing knew the district only as it was after the judicial overthrow of the guilty cities: it was necessary, therefore, to account to them for Lot's making choice of a region which was in their days one of fearful sterility. As to the separation itself, it was necessary; " the land was not able to bear them that they might dwell together;" the proposal to separate comes from Abraham, who even uses the language of entreaty; "Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me." It is not said that Lot knew how much the wickedness of the cities of the plain exceeded the ordinary wickedness of the inhabitants of Canaan; there is no mention of any previous warning or subsequent remonstrance on Abraham's part; it is not even hinted that he disapproved of his nephew's choice; it is probable that Lot made a great sacrifice when he consented to separate himself from the heir of the promises and take up his abode among strangers; and it is surely an important consideration, that this supposed instance of remarkable covetousness is not mentioned as such in any one passage of the Bible.
"In the meantime," says Mr. Newman, " Abraham is left without any earthly portion." This remark seems intended to contrast Abraham's condition with Lot's; but surely when Lot "chose him all the plain of Jordan," he had no power to choose it for his own possession: he only made choice of it as the district in which he would search for a dwelling place, not knowing in what part of it he would be allowed to settle.
We are then told that "a calamity was sent to rebuke and reclaim him." Mr. N. infers this from our knowledge that "all affliction is calculated to try and improve us;" a principle from which we may safely conclude that it ought to have this effect upon all who are visited by it, but from which it does not follow that this particular calamity was sent for the purpose of rebuking and reclaiming Lot, rather than as a warning and punishment to the guilty Sodomites, a forerunner of the calamity that was soon to overwhelm them.
Even with respect to Lot's continuing to dwell at Sodom after his captivity, I do not feel that we can be quite sure that he was to blame. May we not suppose that God intended that the Sodomites should paleiv toữ AWT thì đperhr—[Chrysost.) and thus receive a final though ineffectual call to repentance ? Not that conduct is always justified by its good consequences; but at all events Mr. Newman's remark, that " Lot is called a just man by St. Peter, and referred to as hospitable by St. Paul,"
," * is an under-statement , . an unintentional one, I am sure . .. of the actual testimony of the inspired writers to his character. " And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds ;) the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished."
Surely this is a very different thing from calling a man just and hospitable. Lot's gracious preservation is here given as a proof of God's power to deliver the godly (evoeßeīs) out of temptations; he is styled, emphatically, o dikaios, -and we are assured that, far from growing callous to the wickedness of his fellow-citizens, he took it exceedingly to heart, and vexed himself with it day after day! On reading this passage, one feels almost inclined to think with Chrysostom that εις άκραν της αρετής την κορυφήν ή του πατριαρχου συνουσία τον δίκαιον τούτον ανήγαγεν.+ (The society of the patriarch raised this just man to the highest pitch of virtue.)

MINISTERS AMONG THE QUAKERS. Sir,-Will you allow me to give a word of information on a point which I see has escaped your notice. I am willing to believe that perhaps some of your readers may not know much more about the subject than I myself did a short time ago.
In your last number (May), at the foot of an extract from the " Morning Herald," you wonder at the error of those who speak of John Wilkinson, the late seceder, as a minister of the Society of Friends, and you affirm " The Friends have no ministers."
I will first make you an apology, and then I am afraid I must be so rude as to contradict you flatly, and affirm on my part that the Friends have ministers—appointed ministers-I must not say ordained to the holy office, for the word would give offence, but approved (that is the Quaker phrase) and set apart for the ministry.
The Society of Friends, as an exclusive church, is not so unorganized and without church government as some people imagine. It has discipline—strict discipline, everybody knows; but it has also difference of degrees among its members—being governed by a regular presbytery—under the name of " elders," who have the right of electing
• Mr. N. allows that he was "doubtless a confessor of the truth among the wretched inhabitants of the cities in which he dwelt."
+ Ed. Savile, vol.i., p. 348.
the members of their own body, and whose peculiar office it is to approve ministers, and to reprove and silence them if they see occasion.
I need not tell any one that any individual of the Friends' Society, whether minister or not, may address the meeting, if he believes himself inwardly moved ; and many private members do preach week after week, who, nevertheless, are not ministers. The ministers are the approved preachers, whom the elders have set apart for the sacred office, as men duly qualified, of tried piety and power. A distinction is then made : the ministers sit in the gallery with the elders, and preach from thence; while the ordinary preacher, who has not yet been approved, continues to speak " from the floor."
The Friends' ministers have other duties, of a public and private nature, to perform, which are peculiar to their office. I should add that women are not unfrequently, in spite of St. Paul's protest, regularly approved and appointed ministers, and sometimes it happens that a woman is the only minister of a meeting frequented by fifty or a hundred members.
The late secession of John Wilkinson is so important to the interests of truth, that I had half a mind to offer a few remarks upon it. But I am afraid I have already trespassed too long on your patience, and perhaps I should be telling no new thing to your readers, most of whom, I dare say, have taken as much interest in the matter as I have myself. I am, Sir, yours, very truly,
G. C. Alton, May 16, 1836.
MR. DOWLING. SIR,—Having replied to everything in Mr. Dowling's first letter relative to the quotation I had made from his pamphlet, I supposed I had done all that he could reasonably require.
To his charge respecting personalities, I answer that they are all on his own side. With his argument I have dealt freely; but against his person, his character, his talents, or even his book, I have said nothing. Am I personal because I allow him to be " learned"? If I had, indeed, treated him as, in the opening paragraph of his second letter, he has treated me, he might, with reason, have complained of " personal attacks."
He attempts no "detailed reply" to my letter, on the ground that he has " nothing to answer ;" which I believe to be true, though not in the sense he intends. I neither "affected," nor charged him with " affecting, to misunderstand his illustrations," but with really misunderstanding them; and I made good the charge, by shewing that they served my cause rather than his own. Yet, I meant no "incivility" in thus turning his controversial weapons back upon himself,
* Many thanks to " G. C." for his valuable letter. It contains information to one person, certainly, and probably to many. But will he further say what are the public and private duties required of these ministers? Probably Mr. Clarkson may supply these particulars, but his book is not at hand. It appears that any one may preach; and there are no sacraments among the Quakers. -Ed.
That the testimony he had given was favourable to Milner I both fully believed when I quoted it, and do still; yet, I also believe as fully he now wishes it had never been given.
His explanation of the phrase " literary capacity," as applied to the divines of the last century, will not avail to extricate him from the horns of the dilemma in which he was placed. He says, "I did not allude to what proficiency they could have attained in ecclesiastical history." To which my answer is, that I never understood him to make such an allusion, nor argued on so absurd a supposition. In truth, he reasons from the term " literary capacity," as equivalent to the term " natural capacity." I may find a peasant who "could," under suitable instruction, have attained proficiency in literature; yet, if his natural talents have not been cultivated, it would still be true that he has no " literary capacity." So also, many scholars of the last century might have furnished their minds with ecclesiastical literature; but if they failed to do so, they were in a state of literary incapacity for the work which Milner undertook. Now, Mr. Dowling's language was not, " No one did write"—but, " No one could have written such a history better" than Milner; which can mean nothing less than that " no one had made equal proficiency with him in ecclesiastical literature." And this is either to exalt Milner, or to depreciate the age in which he lived, more than I should choose to do.
With regard to that part of Mr. Dowling's letter in which he requires me to notice his tract, I am afraid I can neither speak nor keep silence without giving offence. Does he demand my opinion as a right, or ask it as a favour? If he demands it as a right, the demand is so extraordinary that I can hardly think him serious in making it. If fifty persons chose to write on the same subject as myself, they might each lay as good a claim to my opinion on their several productions. But Mr. Dowling, of all men, onght not to have come forward with such a demand; for if he really thinks that my
" usual tactics are to make the matter in dispute the ground of a mere per sonal attack, and if he accounts me a "great proficient" in a "strange kind of literary cavilling," what good can he expect from controversy with me? It would be impossible that he should value my approbation, and absurd that he should regard my censure. It is rather singular, in any circumstances, that an author should wish his work to be assailed, for the purpose of giving him the opportunity of defending it; but that he should call, in a peremptory tone, for the approval or the opposition of one whom he can scarcely do less than despise, is a course which all Mr. Dowling's talent will be insufficient to explain or justify. I will, however, state, for his information, that his tract on the « Paulicians" has not produced the conviction on my mind which its author imagines. I did not publicly notice it, because I hesitated to state my views, without supporting them by facts and reasonings, which would have implied the writing of a book. I doubted whether the question itself would be deemed sufficiently interesting by the public to render such a labour advisable. And I further thought my time not so completely at my own disposal as to VOL. IX.-June, 1836.

Transforming our union's relationship with Kaiser
The National Union of Healthcare Workers and Kaiser Permanente are forging a new relationship, working together to achieve our common goals of making Kaiser both the employer and provider of choice. The process started about eight months ago when top Kaiser executives in Northern California made a commitment to work collaboratively with NUHW.
NUHW's Northern California mental health clinicians are leading the way. On February 24, more than 100 stewards and leaders from our Integrated Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) bargaining unit joined about 150 Kaiser managers from throughout Northern California at the Oakland Marriott for an all-day summit that was jointly planned and sponsored by NUHW and Kaiser. (Read more about the summit below).
The summit marked the official beginning of the process of building collaboration and engagement among clinicians and managers in our IBHS unit, a process we plan to replicate for our three other Kaiser bargaining units. We are currently working with Kaiser to develop a similar process in our Southern California Psych-Social unit — our first meeting with SoCal Kaiser executives was April 14 and we have more meetings scheduled. The success we have in our two mental health units will provide a pathway for us to build a similar collaborative relationship for our Northern California Optical unit and our Southern California Healthcare Professionals unit.
Kaiser–IBHS summit and beyond
The summit (pictured above) provided an opportunity for Kaiser and NUHW leadership to share their vision and for clinicians and managers to discuss local issues and work toward strengthening our local Professional Practice Committees.
The morning started with a unified message from Kaiser and NUHW leadership in which both committed to making Kaiser Permanente "the national leader in mental health care and the employer of choice." Janet Liang, Kaiser's Northern California president, explained how she and other senior leaders of Kaiser came to the conclusion that the only way to accomplish this goal would be to work closely with NUHW members.
NUHW President Sal Rosselli spoke about the five-year struggle we recently endured and about how and why that struggle became public. Rosselli emphasized that the union has always preferred to work collaboratively with Kaiser and that many of the current leaders of NUHW have a long history of doing so.

"Having so many managers and frontline staff together to hear the same message at the same time from the leadership of both Kaiser and the union was very powerful," said Kirsten Quinn-Siegel, an LMFT at Kaiser Richmond.
After a presentation about Kaiser's national mental health initiatives, clinicians and managers spent the bulk of the afternoon discussing how the Local Professional Practice Committees (PPCs), which are part of our contract, would be an important vehicle for building collaboration at the local level around a range of issues, from professional practice and patient service to access and operational improvements.
Both managers and clinicians from each of the 28 local PPCs were seated together for table discussions around several topics, including operating guidelines for the PPCs, the characteristics of highly functional groups, and deciding which issues each PPC would focus on in its next meeting. Kaiser leadership assured local PPC members that the company is committed to assessing and then providing them with the appropriate training, support, and/or facilitation. The Regional PPC has been charged with developing the specific plan to accomplish this goal.
This summit was successful in laying the foundation for collaboration, but it will require unwavering commitment and a lot of hard work to ensure Kaiser and NUHW achieve our shared goals.
Willow Thorsen
"I am very optimistic and inspired after attending the summit," said Willow Thorsen, an LCSW from Santa Rosa Adult Psychiatry, "but I still have concerns about how this will effectively be transmitted down through the organization so that local PPCs can truly have resources and are empowered to be highly effective groups."
"Some of these PPCs will hit the ground running," said Rosselli, "others will need some time to get going. And some, where an 'us vs. them' attitude persists, may require more facilitation and role modeling. It won't be easy but I'm confident that we can build a strong working relationship that better serves Kaiser, NUHW members, and most importantly, Kaiser patients."
Since the summit, Kaiser and NUHW have each made a sizable investment of time, effort, and resources to ensure the vision and commitments of the Summit reach fruition. The Regional PPC, consisting of three steward leaders, one NUHW staffer, three high-level Kaiser regional mental health administrators, and one Kaiser labor relations representative, has been meeting for more than 20 hours each month. The RPPC has developed a toolkit for the local PPCs to help them conduct effective meetings, has surveyed and completed a rigorous assessment of each of the 28 local PPCs to determine the level of support each local committee needs to maximize its effectiveness, and is currently developing a plan to ensure each committee receives the support it needs. In addition, the RPPC has provided guidance on the implementation of the Schedule Management provisions of the collective bargaining agreement and continues to work on issues around staffing, recruitment, retention, subcontracting, etc.

The Outer Ring Road is a  multi-lane highway located in Nairobi, Kenya. Construction funding was initially provided by the African Development Bank in 2013, although construction delays and increased traffic have delayed completion of the project. The highway runs primarily along the Eastlands area of Nairobi and connects major transportation hubs including the Nairobi-Thika Highway, Mombasa Road, and the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

In August 2020, Kenya secured a $59 million (KSh6.4 billion) loan from the South Korean Export-Import Bank to build special lanes for high-capacity buses (bus rapid transit) to expand the road's carrying capacity.

Q: How to reset the offset in REST proxy for reconsuming Kafka messages? I consumed some messages from the Kafka queue, and now I want to consume them again (just fetch all data from the beginning). How can I reset the offset in Scala or using Kafka Rest Proxy? I am currently using "auto.offset.reset": "smallest":
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.kafka.v1+json" \
      --data '{"format": "json", "auto.offset.reset": "smallest"}' \
      XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:9092/consumers/test

Please notice that I am not interested in the solution

A: The last param in the URL is group Id. Kafka stores committed offset per group Id. So, changing group Id should be enough (.../consumers/newGroupId).

ExxonMobil needed a grassroots initiative to increase consumer awareness and enrollment for their coalition loyalty rewards program.
Employing teams of Cliffedge brand ambassadors at ExxonMobil-affiliated On the Run convenience stores, we approached customers with the opportunity to save at their local c-store.
Outfitted with iPads and an extensive knowledge of how ExxonMobil's Plenti® rewards program works, Cliffedge's team of brand ambassadors drove additional sign-ups at strategic locations. By removing the burden of enrolling customers from the store employees, the events allowed our staff the opportunity to explain the program in greater detail and create more meaningful touch-points with consumers.
By relieving store employees of registration duties and offering immediate rewards, our brand ambassadors were able to increase enrollment into the program by over 300% at select locations.
