Seasoned diplomats address the future of Syria
By yaleyia / November 4, 2019 August 30, 2022
Two seasoned diplomats sat down for a timely discussion about the situation in Syria Oct. 23 in the Jackson Institute's Horchow Hall.
Staffan de Mistura, former Undersecretary General of the UN and Special Representative for Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and Robert Ford, Jackson Senior Fellow and former U.S. ambassador to Syria, addressed the topic, "Syria and the Crisis of World Order: Where Do We Go From Here?" to a standing-room-only crowd.
The conversation was an insider's account of the years-long upheaval in Syria. De Mistura relayed an anecdote about a "magic moment" when a negotiated peace in Syria felt possible. All parties, including the U.S. and Russia, "had a common interest in finding a solution," de Mistura said, and negotiations between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and former Sec. of State John Kerry extended into the early morning hours. "When you're negotiating after midnight, it means you're serious," de Mistura quipped.
The public talk was part of de Mistura's three-day visit to Yale, during which he visited six Global Affairs classes and met with faculty and students. De Mistura was invited to take part in Jackson's new Visiting Fellows Program being rolled out this fall. The program brings distinguished practitioners to Yale for an immersive multi-day program, highlighting their extraordinary contributions to global affairs. The Visiting Fellows enrich the Jackson and broader university community through attending classes, giving public talks, and interacting with students and faculty through a variety of engaging events.

Reem said the students in her class earn money by doing things, such as good deeds, being nice, and finishing school work. She said she uses the money to buy treats like popcorn and pizza.
She also said each student in her class has to pay their teacher M$50 dollars in pretend money to go to the bathroom.
On Thursday, Reem was down to her last M$50. She also had to go to the bathroom. She wanted to buy popcorn, like her friends were doing. She said she wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom because she didn't want to pay. She then had an embarrassing accident.
The school gave Reem a change of clothes, a pair of royal blue boy's basketball shorts. Reem said the other kids made fun of her for having an accident, and then for having to wear boys clothes.
"It didn't feel so well because I had to wear boy pants and I did get teased," Reem said.
Jasmine said she talked to the principal on Thursday, who promised to follow up about the issue on Friday. As of Friday night, Jasmine said she hadn't heard back.
The school's spokeswoman released a statement.
A similar incident occurred in Lebanon, Oregon and was reported by news station KATU of Portland, Oregon and the school principal dropped the payment requirement after the story aired.
A pediatrician was consulted and provided an opinion of this based upon his experience. Dr. Bruce Birk is a Portland pediatrician. He says that there's consensus in the medical community on this issue.
Yet the message this might be teaching children is something that some parents are going to have much objection to. But not only the parents have concerns, the incident at Mill Plain Elementary could have been interpreted as close to violating state law, at least in the sprit of the law as noted by the state legislature.
Public restrooms — Pay facilities — Penalty.
While many could see this as making a mountain out of a mole hill, one has to ask what kind of lesson a policy requiring payment by nine year old students to use a bathroom teaches children.
i've created a petition asking the washington state board of education to end this abuse!
Teachers with good class management skills rarely have problems with students abusing their bathroom privileges.
Someone really likes the sound of that.
Anon – unlike The Thin Blue Line which Morris fell into by accident, his films have a result in mind before he starts filming. This one is no different. Speaking of special snowflakes though, Obama surely thinks he is one. Just the way he treats people and reacts to criticism is an indication that he thinks he was born for special things.
I work in the education field and you can allow three or more breaks some kids will still have accidents. They also enjoy going into the bathroom playing and not using and then waiting until it is too late. They have an accident or ask to go again after a short period from their scheduled break. They also like to ask to go when their friends to play, to get out of time out, and avoidance of classwork.No one asks to go during recess or parties, only during lessons or classwork.
jr- don't confuse them with evidence. Each child is a special snowflake and must be allowed to go to the bathroom whenever requested/demanded. Of course, if you did that, you would have no one to teach, but the special snowflakes would be taken care of.
To further comment on my above post, my child's incident was strictly a poor decision on the teacher; not due to a program. Although I do not agree with the program at all in its current state, I must admit that I did not finish reading the article prior to my post and just realized that the child made a poor choice. That said, I still completely believe that the use of a restroom should never had been an item that she had to decide on.
If my child were in her class I would most probably be in jail today! My child was once told he couldn't go. He was a model student and always did what he was instructed. Once I received the call from school, I took him fresh clothes and instructed him, in front of the principle, that should that situation every arise again to get up and go anyway and I would deal with the school. Once he went back to class I made it very clear to the principle and everyone else within earshot that I had better never receive another call such as that or there would be hell to pay and I didn't care if I went to jail! The teacher called to apologize and we have never had another issue. That was at least 7 years ago.
I have no pension. I was self employed and have a SEP, I made the contribution monthly for 25 years as both the employee and employer. I also had the distinct privilege of paying FICA for both myself and the employer. I have paid my dues, limey. No dole like in your homeland.
Wow! Did you guys waste all that time and half a kilometer of comments, bickering back and forth on this 'oh so profound' subject! Annie & Spinelli must have pretty good pensions!

Everyone gets depressed. Not everyone gets floored by depression. Sometimes depression is more than situational (when you dog dies). There are times when chemically, emotionally, relationally, socially our lives put us in a position to feel down.
Reach out to loved ones – sometimes being close to someone and letting them know you are having a hard time can help. They have to be the 'right' person to reach out to, however.
Exercise – increasing your physical activity can help produce natural endorphins and chemicals in your body that feel good.
Eat right – a healthy diet goes a long way with depression.
Medication – not everyone needs medications when they are depressed, but some do.
Therapy – talk therapy can be very effective for depression. Learning coping skills and connecting with others is a powerful way to combat this issue.
If nothing else, know that there is help and that you don't have to do this alone. You aren't bad for feeling depressed, you aren't bad for not knowing what to do, you aren't bad for struggling to cope.
I once had a client who was depressed. They found it difficult to get motivated in life and connect with others. As we worked in therapy, they eventually found a way to reach out to others and found motivation. It was a difficult road, but one that was possible.


Along with Isabel Dos Santos, [the eldest daughter of Angolan President José Dos Santos], other Angolan "entrepreneurs" do their shopping in Portugal. These include General "Kopelipa," an influential minister from Luanda, who has put money into the wines and banks of Angola's former colonial ruler. The principle is always the same. These men and women, benefiting from a privileged relationship with President Dos Santos, made their fortunes under suspicious circumstances in Angola and, now that the crisis is intensifying in Lisbon, are grabbing major Portuguese assets.
"Portugal plays a strategic role for the Angolan government: it allows the business and financial elite to develop an exit strategy in case of regime change by stocking part of their wealth in Portugal. But they also use the country to 'launder' dubious Angolan capital," sums up Jorge Costa, of the opposition Left Bloc, whose book about "the Angolan owners of Portugal" will be published early next year.
A report, published in 2011 by the NGO Global Witness, reviews the particularly opaque accounting practiced by the Angolan oil industry. It shows that, for 2008, there is a discrepancy of 87m barrels between the oil production figures quoted by the oil ministry and those of the finance ministry. This is only one example among many of institutional failures that can only favour the embezzlement of public funds.
Despite the magnitude of these operations, the issue has caused few waves in Portugal. The "diplomatic excuses" of [Portuguese Foreign Minister] Rui Machete [promising to end legal probes into Angolan business deals in Portugal] caused only a ripple of dissent and the interested party was not forced to resign. "All Portuguese political leaders, in power or in the opposition, have fostered ties with forces in Angola, whether on one side of the conflict [in Angola's post-colonial civil war (1975-2002)] or the other," explains former journalist Pedro Rosa Mendes.
Originally a Marxist-Leninist organisation, the ruling Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) joined the Socialist International group in 2003. It therefore has close ties with Communists and Socialists but also with the Portuguese conservative Social Democrats in power today. "The MPLA has always known, with each up-coming generation, how to adapt to the context and it changes allies according to evolving geo-political conditions," he adds.
By Jorge Costa's count, since Portugal became a democracy in 1974, after holding office in Portugal, 26 Portuguese ministers and junior ministers have held or still hold jobs in Angolan firms. The current Portuguese prime minister, Pedro Passos Coelho, spent part of his childhood in Angola. The Portuguese press also speculates about the existence of an "Angola lobby" within the government, composed of several ministers who lived in Luanda as children.
Another explanation for the low profile of this almost taboo subject is that Angolan investors have bought up the Portuguese press, which now tends to avoid the issue. Such is the case of Alvaro Sobrinho, a business executive from Luanda who is very prominent in Lisbon. Through his holding company Newshold, he acquired prestigious assets in the crisis-ridden newspaper sector. He thus acquired 100 per cent of the weekly Sol and the daily i, while squirrelling away shares in companies that publish other titles such as the weeklies Visão and Expresso.
"Self-censorship," to use [Human Rights Watch researcher] Lisa Rimli's expression, also plays a role for part of the business sector, especially small- and medium-sized Portuguese firms. They worry that they will lose export markets if the debate surrounding the origins of Angolan funds becomes too intense. In short, the seriousness of the crisis provides an ideal excuse for not looking too closely at the colour of Angolan money.
Those who, nonetheless, do dare to publicly criticise this onslaught of investment risk are branded "racists" or "neo-colonialists" by Luanda. "I am an anti-colonialist by conviction," notes Daniel Oliveira, a journalist with Expresso, at the beginning of an article in which he denounces the silence surrounding Angolan investment in the country.
If there is unease in Lisbon, other institutions are also conspicuously absent. On this subject, Europe is mute. Marcolino Moco, a former Angolan prime minister (1992-1996) and now one of Dos Santos's most ferocious adversaries, recently wondered about the European Union's silence. "In order to maintain its economic interests with Angola, Europe closes its eyes to the misappropriation," he says.
MEP Ana Gomes goes even further. Europe is an accomplice in this operation, she argues. "Austerity and the privatisation programmes required from Lisbon by Europe have had the effect of increasing Portugal's dependence on Angola. Not only did Europe not say anything, it is pushing even harder for this outcome," she explains.
It is no use expecting the European Commission to take a stand before the EU parliamentary elections scheduled for next year. At the head of the Commission since 2004, José Manuel Barroso, when he was Portugal's prime minister, was very close to the Dos Santos regime. In 2003, he visited Luanda with 10 of his ministers. As head of the Commission he went on a two-day trip to Angola in 2012 with the aim of reinforcing EU cooperation with Luanda.
Barroso was also an honoured guest at the 2003 wedding of Tchizé Dos Santos, another of the Angolan President's daughters. While more discrete than her older sister, Isabel, Tchizé has just acquired 30 per cent of a Portuguese fruit-packing firm.


The LVAD is a battery-operated, mechanical pump-type device that's surgically implanted. It helps maintain the pumping ability of a heart that can't effectively work on its own. A common type of LVAD has a tube that pulls blood from the left ventricle into a pump. The pump then sends blood into the aorta (the large blood vessel leaving the left ventricle). This effectively helps the weakened ventricle. The pump is placed in the upper part of the abdomen. Another tube attached to the pump is brought out of the abdominal wall to the outside of the body and attached to the pump's battery and control system.
"bridge to transplant," but is now used in long-term therapy.
Stage D and class IV heart failure.
Most recently, LVADs are being used longer-term as 'destination therapy' in end-stage heart failure patients when heart transplantation is not an option.

I booked this as an experience for my friends stag do. Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon - we arrived to beer bike in Old town where our guy was waiting for us, did the payment and started the ride. Only sad thing was that our beer run out fast and there was no extra bottles which we could buy.
Excellent ride in Old city. Everybody was looking at us, since we were singing loudly. Organisation of tour was good, they met us at beer bike location and we did our 1 hour without any problems.
Good activity for a stag party . Plenty of beer and you can play your own music . Should experience it - a fun way to spend an evening. You need a group of people, around 10, preferably more. While you ride you can drink and the staff is friendly and funny so it was a very good experience. Definitely worth the money.
Cool rider to take with your friends. You can out your own music for the ride and just chill by working with your feet.
The beer bike definitely have become one of the most exciting parts of stag weekends in Riga. The famous bike also called and known as pedal pub allows drinking beer, listening to music and enjoying sightseeing in Riga for up to 14 persons at the time. There are a lot of different stories about how beer bike came to it's popularity peak. One of them is about Zwier van Laar, the Dutchman who claims to be the first inventor of the beer bike. This historical fact has been disputed by many drunks during the years claiming that idea of beer bike was born by going home on the bicycle completely drunk and still drinking beer on the way. Which is the real story - we can only guess but anyway we can thank Mr. Laar or some random drunk to bringing this idea to the society.
The beer bike tour will last for 1 hour and the route will be the Old town what will give you this great opportunity to enjoy the sightseeing at the same time. The steersman will be our man who will be sober during the ride by giving the green light for you all to enjoy the local beer.

The February 2, 2010, ballot in southwest Missouri will be one of the lightest in a long time: two issues/races.
Voters in the Mark Twain school district are being asked to consider a property tax levy. The district wants an 89 cent increase that would generate $60,000. The money would not create new programs but instead just keep the status quo. Superintendent Bruce Forrest says he's worried about the school's ability to stay open because of declining enrollment, less state money and less money coming from the federal government. Much of Mark Twain's district includes land in the Mark Twain National Forest.
Voters in Missouri's 62nd state house district will decide who will fill the seat of Dennis Wood. Wood resigned in September to accept the appointment by Gov. Jay Nixon to be Stone County presiding commissioner.
Republicans chose Nita Jane Ayres to appear on the ballot. Ayres had hoped to get the commissioner job. Libertarians also have a candidate: Patty Tweedle.
According to Missouri Ethics Commission reports, through December 31, Ayres had raised $20,355 during the fourth quarter of 2009. She had just $11,000 left after buying signs, t-shirts, and mailers for her campaign.
As of this writing, the Tweedle campaign did not have any reports on file with the MEC.
Where's a Democrat? James "Jim" Rynard had gotten the support of local Dems. But according to the Stone County Gazette, he was removed from the ballot for failing to file the proper paperwork. Rynard told Chad Livengood he did that intentionally since he was closing his law firm and moving out of the area.
The winner will only get to enjoy the victory for a few months. The seat will be open again in the fall. Filing for the August primary begins February 23.

Sono Motors to put its electric car in production mode 2019
Credit: Sono Motors
Here is a business venture, spawned off a garaged project, that is every bit in the feel-good tech story genre and they are for real. Three friends with a vision built a community to start a movement, says their promotional video. Now more than 5,000 people believe in their idea. That idea is an all electric car that can charge while it is driving. The car is called the Sion.
The number represents more than 5,000 reservations from 33 countries. Sono Motors' goal, said the video notes, is to end the use of fossil fuels in exchange for sustainable mobility.
They have worked up a prototype car, equipped with 330 integrated solar cells, which recharge the battery through the power of the sun. These solar cells are embedded in roof, hood, and body sides, being integrated right into the body. The company covered the solar cells with polycarbonate, for environmental protection.
The design includes a battery system that will offer a range of around 250 km (155 miles) before it needs recharging.
The recharge would be via solar power or wall plug. The electric solar car lets you charge as you drive. All in all, they have made an electric car powered by a mix of batteries and built-in solar panels. The exterior is mainly polycarbonate that the company said is rust-proof and "scratch-resistant."
The interior has an air filter system and infotainment area with a 10 inch screen.
Stephen Edelstein took a look at the miracle car and raised a real world signpost. How much electricity are we talking about? Sono previously said the cells could provide up to 18 miles of driving range under certain conditions, he wrote, "But it's unclear how practical the solar panels will be in the real world."
Sion drivers may end up relying on the battery pack to get around, he added. Edelstein also said: "Other electric-car startups have underestimated the difficulty of building cars on a large scale, and Sono's use of solar cells adds another question mark."
Moving forward, Sono is targeting the production launch next year. Remember those 5,000 orders? The cars will be sold at $18,540, said reports. The company on its site lists a price of 16.000 € excluding the battery.
Edelstein reported that the price does not include the battery pack. For the battery pack, one can lease it or buy it.
Another talking point is the car's use of moss for air filtration and humidity regulation in the cabin. The Daily Mail: A lichen moss is used, known for its excellent air filtration.
Edelstein in The Drive said, "Think of it as nature's air filter. Sono claims the moss doesn't require watering, or any other special care."

CNN/Stylemagazine.com Newswire | 12/3/2018, 11:27 a.m.
Bruce Springsteen isn't a big fan of President Donald Trump.
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large
(CNN) -- Bruce Springsteen isn't a big fan of President Donald Trump.
"He's deeply damaged at his core," the New Jersey-born rocker recently told Esquire magazine. "Anyone in that position who doesn't deeply feel those ties that bind is a dangerous man, and it's very pitiful."
That's no big surprise. Springsteen is an outspoken liberal; he campaigned for John Kerry in 2004 and performed at Barack Obama's second inauguration.
What IS a big surprise is what Springsteen told the Sunday Times in an interview in advance of the release later this month of his long-running Broadway show on Netflix.
"I don't see anyone out there at the moment ... the man who can beat Trump, or the woman who can beat Trump," Springsteen said of the potential 2020 Democratic field. "You need someone who can speak some of the same language [as Trump] ... and the Democrats don't have an obvious, effective presidential candidate."
Which is an interesting analysis -- particularly when you consider that the Democratic field is likely to be the largest in modern American history, with two dozen (or more) candidates expected to run. One would think that, given the expected size of the field, there would be at least one candidate -- and maybe a few -- who Springsteen believes can take on and beat Trump.
And Springsteen's specific doubt about the Democratic field -- "you need someone who can speak some of the same language" as the President -- is a very important one.
Dismiss Springsteen as just another liberal rock star if you will (and he is!), but also remember that Springsteen's roots are in a working-class, blue-collar community -- and that he has spent his entire life writing about and trying to explain the hopes, fears and anxieties of those communities to the country and the world.
Trump spoke to those fears and hopes in a very direct and real way during the 2016 campaign. He won the White House thanks to victories in the industrial Midwest -- Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio -- that was hit the hardest by the rapidly changing 21st-century economy and the crushing blows it dealt to the manufacturing sector.
"Donald J. Trump won the presidency by riding an enormous wave of support among white working-class voters," concluded The New York Times' Nate Cohen the day after the 2016 election. Trump won white, non-college educated males 71%-23% over Hillary Clinton and white, non-college educated women 61% to 34%, according to exit polling. Those white, non-college educated voters comprised one-third of the overall electorate. ("Non-college educated," of course, doesn't equal "blue-collar," but history has shown there are strong similarities among those groups and their voting preferences.)
There is zero question -- particularly when you consider the crushing blow Democrats delivered to Republicans in the suburbs in the 2018 midterms -- that Trump's path to a second term relies heavily on these same blue collar whites who got him elected President in the first place.


On the southern Cape Peninsula between Cape Town and the Cape of Good hope there is a little penguin sanctuary which is quite worth a stop. Especially if you like those little fellows. You can observe them while they are chilling around at the beach and by entering the breeding station you support with your entrance fee the protection of the animals and the team which is working to provide that.
After Cape Town graffiti now safari in the savannah. With an adventurously remodeled observation truck from Drifters, we have spent the last few weeks scouring the South African bush, watching the wildlife in the reserves and, of course, visiting the Kruger Park. There were breathtaking moments and stunning camera shots.

Q: histogram misses values in matplotlib, bug? bins=np.arange(0,1,0.1)
discrete_pdf=np.power(bins,1.5)
discrete_pdf=discrete_pdf/np.sum(discrete_pdf)
print(bins)
print(discrete_pdf)
print(np.sum(discrete_pdf))
plt.plot(bins,discrete_pdf)
plt.show()
values=np.random.choice(bins, 100000, p=discrete_pdf)
plt.hist(values,10)
plt.show()

it's me not able to use hist or is a "feature"/bug?
if you force the hist function to male 10*n bins (e.g. 20 or 100) the plot looks reasonable, but it has empty spaces due to finer binning.

A: This is because you are letting matplotlib automatically determine the bins for you by using plt.hist(values,10) because the second argument is the number of bins. If we look at the automatic bins generated by matplotlib with a value of 10 for the number of bins they are:
[0.1  0.18 0.26 0.34 0.42 0.5  0.58 0.66 0.74 0.82 0.9 ]

You can pass in custom bins rather than letting matplotlib automatically decide them. Therefore the solution is to pass in a list (or array) of bins plotting_bins = np.arange(0,1.1,1) noticing than an extra bin has been added on the end.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

bins=np.arange(0,1,0.1)

discrete_pdf=np.power(bins,1.5)
discrete_pdf=discrete_pdf/np.sum(discrete_pdf)
values=np.random.choice(bins, 100000, p=discrete_pdf)

plotting_bins=np.arange(0,1.1,0.1) # need to add an extra bin when plotting

fig, (ax1,ax2) = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize=(6,4))

ax1.hist(values, 10)
ax1.set_title("Automatic bins")
ax2.hist(values, bins=plotting_bins)
ax2.set_title("Manual bins")

ax1.set_xlim(0,1)
ax2.set_xlim(0,1)

plt.tight_layout()
plt.show()

If you want to know how the automatic bins are created when you provide an integer for the bins argument we can look at the documentation of numpy.histogram() (which is what plt.hist() uses beind the scenes):

bins : int or sequence of scalars or str, optional
If bins is an int, it defines the number of equal-width bins in the given range

and

range : (float, float), optional
The lower and upper range of the bins. If not provided, range is simply (a.min(), a.max()).

IRL: Aussie Briscoe rules as season finally ends
By Andy Darley
Almost two months after Scott Dixon wrapped up the 2008 IndyCar championship in Chicago, the series has run its final race of the season – a non-points holiday jaunt to Surfers Paradise in Australia.
Dario Franchitti leads the field at Surfers Paradise
Aussie Ryan Briscoe pleased the home fans with a victory over New Zealand's Dixon, while Briscoe's countryman Will Power failed to win the race from pole for a third year in a row.
The long gap following the end of the scoring part of the season meant that the field had more in common with next season's line-up than the last.
Scotland's former champion Dario Franchitti, returning to the series after his misadventures in NASCAR, made an early start on 2009 by taking over the #10 Target Chip Ganassi Racing car from Englishman Dan Wheldon.
Wheldon also got an early run-out for his new team, Panther, displacing Vitor Meira in Australia. And Meira continued the musical chairs by running for AJ Foyt Racing instead of Darren Manning.
Dan Wheldon made his debut for Panther
Another Englishman who didn't need to pack his bags for the trip Down Under was Jay Howard, whose admittedly tenous grip on an IRL seat ended when Roth Racing was shut down by its owner Marty Roth. The Canadian millionaire apparently acted in response to the series suggesting that his days trolling along at the back of the field were numbered.
None of the drivers turning out for new teams made much of an impact on the final result. Franchitti qualified fourth and led a lap, but hit a barrier on lap 29 and ended up 16th. Wheldon made up some ground on his start position but could not crack the top 10, finishing 11th, while Meira was 14th.
Justin Wilson finished inches behind Wheldon in 12th – although some versions of the race results showed 10th-placed Buddy Rice in 12th, with Wheldon and Wilson each a place higher.
Briscoe inherited the lead after Power made what he later described as the worst mistake of his career on lap 17, clipping a wall and suffering race-ending damage.
Power said: "I'm really disappointed – I just can't win at this place. I had such a quick car this weekend and I feel real sorry for the guys. I was saving a lot of fuel and we were quicker than anyone. It was just a bad display."
Briscoe came under late pressure from Dixon, but was not seriously threatened for the win. He said: "What a way to cap off the year – and in my home country. It doesn't get better than this. I'm just so happy for all the fans. It was a great event and we're going to turn up the wick tonight."
Justin Wilson suffered a frustrating day
Dixon said: "We were quicker in different spots. He was quicker than me, but we were quicker on the backside. I don't know, if he had made a mistake, we could have got him."
Ryan Hunter-Reay, a former winner at the circuit, took third. He said: "It was a long race with those kerbs. They beat the hell out of you. It was nice to get by Dario in the beginning. From there I picked off good laps. I did my usual deal at Surfers. I've never been out of the top five here."
Wheldon saw the race as useful experience for next season, when Panther hope for a boost in the championship with their new driver. He said: "This weekend for myself and the Panther crew was a very tough baptism. The Australia track is a difficult one for people who have never been here before.
"We pretty much lost the first three practice sessions with a few little problems that put us on our back foot for a good part of the weekend. But the Delphi National Guard crew is in good place because now we know what we need to work on together throughout the off-season and we're in a much better position now as a team than we would have been if we hadn't been able to run here."
Dario Franchitti - now with actual hair
Newman/Haas/Lanigan's Justin Wilson suffered through a frustrating day of mechanical problems that caused him to yo-yo up and down the field. He had qualified ninth but suffered a gearbox problem on the grid that dropped him to last.
He said: "If I wasn't laughing I'd be crying. I worked my way back up from 24th and was around 12th after eight or nine laps and was back in the game. On our first pit stop we had trouble flowing fuel so that meant I was last again and had to work my way back up."
He managed to – but contact with Bruno Junqueira, damaging his front wing, and a late extra fuel stop meant he had to do it all over again to finish 12th.
"I passed a bunch of cars which was the same group I had passed about three times already at this stage so I passed them again and came in for a splash of fuel, went back out and tried to pass them again. It was a long day."
Neither of the IRL's two media stars, Helio Castroneves and Danica Patrick, shone particularly brightly.
Patrick started from the back row and could finish only 18th. Castroneves, who is facing possible jail time over tax fraud accusations, was given permission by a judge to leave the US for the race and finished seventh, never seriously troubling the leaders.

It's a practice spreading like a zombie virus across the United States, with college students' appearing to be the most susceptible. But rather than turning its victims into reanimated flesh-eating corpses, the politically correct disease turns them into cry bullies who shout down anybody who disagrees with them and demand far-reaching changes that have questionable applicability to their complaints and an even more-dubious chance of succeeding in their goals.
When a mob of Brown University students trooped a few blocks from their campus to bring their illness to the Rhode Island State House, they made it near impossible not to add them to my collection of parody song subjects.
Featured image is a video still culled from WPRI coverage, available here.
Did I accidentally set the recording to autoplay?
No, I had to ask for it. When I was a kid in "music" class, the teacher would ask me to stop singing because I was throwing the class off key.
Although Governor Lincoln Chafee has decided to declare the decorated evergreen in the State Capitol's Rotunda a "holiday tree," a chorus of Rhode Islanders are proclaiming it a Christmas Tree.
In fact, a local talk show host is planning a "flash mob" at the governor's ceremonial lighting — and is hoping more than 1,000 singers will show up to drown out the governor's comments by singing "O Tannenbaum".
Unless they sing it in English, they will be dismissed as "Nazis".
This recent speaking event at UMass Amherst, where shouting and obscenities are used, is becoming typical of what a conservative, or even a centerist public speaker on cultural issues can expect to face. I used to think that these people were shills, communist plants hired or brainwashed to be uncivil and disruptive, but I am not so sure any more. They may really be students, God help us! These 18 year-olds believe that they know what's best for the rest of us, and they have been trained to shout down their opponents. They should never have gone to college in the first place, but with the lack of valuable education, real jobs, and the breakdown in civic virtues and shared cultural values, they wind up polluting intellectual discourse.
By the way…it's "Rosa Parks University" now.

Settlement Reached in Lawsuit of "Huffing" Teen Who Killed a Child
July 5, 2013 News, Wrongful DeathNewsLeave a commentgaladmin
A civil lawsuit has been filed against a Highland Park, Illinois teenager who was accused of "huffing" a cleaning agent just before striking a family with a car on Labor Day, killing a 5-year-old girl. The case was settled for an undisclosed amount, while the date for the teen's criminal trial has been pushed back, once again.
Carly Rousso, who recently turned 19 years old, is out of jail on $500,000 bond. She appeared in a Lake County, Illinois court earlier this week. According to court records, there has been a settlement in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against her.
The criminal trial was originally set for July 12th but has been changed to September 27th. A pre-trial date is scheduled for July 16th.
According to authorities, Rousso lost control of the Lexus she was driving, as it careened across several lanes of traffic onto the sidewalk, striking a woman and her three children. Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento, 5-years-old, of Highland Park, a suburb of Chicago, died on Labor Day.
Rousso has been charged with two counts of reckless homicide and four counts of aggravated DUI, and was accused of inhaling fumes from a computer dust cleaner, known as "huffing" just minutes before crashing a car into Jaclyn, her mother and her two brothers last year in Highland Park.
Jaclyn's mother, Modesta Sacramento-Jimenez and her two brothers, Daniel, 4 years old and Juan Carlos, 2 years old, survived the crash and were not seriously injured. Jaclyn Santos Sacramento died later that day at Evanston Hospital from the injuries she sustained.
Laboratory toxicology tests obtained following the accident indicate Rousso's blood sample contained the presence of the chemical difluoroethane, which is found in commercial cleaning products. The substance in Rousso's blood matched a cleaning product found in the car she was driving, according to authorities.
The lawsuit also accused Rousso of backing the car over Jaclyn in an attempt to flee the scene. It was reported that a local high school student interceded after Rousso struck Jaclyn and her family, forcibly removing the keys from Rousso's ignition.
Rousso faces up to 26 years in prison if convicted on all charges, according to prosecutors. Although she is free on $500,000 bond, she has been placed on court-ordered curfew of 9:00 pm to 7:00 am and must submit to random testing and home visits from authorities. She is not permitted to drive.
Court records state that the settlement check for the lawsuit was to be made payable to the parents of Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento, Modesta Sacramento Jimenez and Tomas Santos DeJesus.
Rousso was accused of wrongful death, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Family members declined to comment on the case.
Do you think Rousso deserves 26 years in prison for her recklessness and negligence in the death of this 5-year-old girl?

Partnership between the Renova Foundation, Fapemig and Fapes makes available a total investment of R$ 5.7 million
The Renova Foundation has joined the Research Support Foundations of Minas Gerais and Espirito Santo (Fapemig and Fapes) to seek research projects that propose solutions for the economic, social and environmental recovery of the areas affected by the Fundao dam collapse. Registration is open to Institutes of Science and Technology (S&T) based in Minas Gerais or Espirito Santo.
The tender is open for research projects aimed at the recovery of the Doce River Basin and the socioeconomic sustainability of the affected regions. | Photo: Nitro Images
The 09/2018 Fapemig Public Tender will select and finance research projects of up to R$ 1 million and with a 24-months deadline for development. Proposals should address one or more thematic axes as defined in the tender, for different priority areas such as fisheries, education and culture, sustainable land use and ecosystem monitoring, among others. The total investment available will be of R$ 5.7 million. The tender is open until January 31, 2019.
According to Paulo Rocha, leader of the Renova Foundation's front for boosting the economy, one of the premises of the entity is to encourage and to finance the generation of knowledge related to the recovery of the areas impacted by the disaster, through the creation and strengthening of lines of research of applied technologies.
"Considering the uniqueness of the collapse and reparation actions, most of the technological solutions to the challenges encountered by the socioeconomic and environmental areas of the Foundation are still at the frontier of knowledge. The support of Fapemig and Fapes is essential in this context," he says.
Fapemig's Director of Science, Technology and Innovation, Paulo Sergio Lacerda Beirao, adds: "When a public entity or a company faces a certain problem, they seldom turn to the academic world to help find a solution. There are exceptions, of course. But in general, the tendency is to copy solutions from abroad or to buy technologies, which are not always the most appropriate. Academics can contribute a lot, and when there is no ready-available knowledge, they do research. The participation of science is key to solving crises of this kind and we need to encourage industry and academics to communicate more."
According Jose Antonio Bof Buffon, CEO of Fapes, "from the very first moment when the Fundao dam collapsed, Fapes has committed itself to seeking solutions. We are at the start of another important partnership between Fapes and Fapemig, this time with the Renova Foundation. The objective is to seek to deepen the knowledge related to the Doce River, particularly those aspects focusing on the recovery of the river and the socioeconomic sustainability of the affected region."
About the Public Tender
The Public Tender is an initiative derived from the Technical Cooperation Agreement signed in May 2017 between the Renova Foundation, Fapemig and Fapes. The agreement provides for the establishment of partnerships between the institutions for stimulating and financing studies that focus on the recovery of the areas impacted by the Fundao dam collapse in Mariana.
The thematic axes were drawn together with the technical areas of the Foundation. They will be guiding the desired type of research and will assist in the selection process of the registered projects:
Historical, Cultural and Artistic Memory
Monitoring of Ecosystems
Sustainable Land Use
New processes for Knowledge Management and Governance

By the time the first day of fall arrives on September 22, Colorado students will already have been back in school for close to a month and the summer season will have started to fade into a distant memory.
While many homeowners believe that the spring is the ideal time of year to perk up your lawn, the fact of the matter is that in Colorado, the fall is better.
But what if your lawn is thin, weedy and bare?
Not to worry, according to Alison O'Connor, horticulture agent for the Larimer County office of Colorado State University Extension.
"Fall is a great time. Soils stay warm until mid-November, so turf seed has that much longer to germinate." Warmer soils also help microorganisms do their job.
Many professionals refer to the fall as the time to "renovate" your lawn.
A lawn renovation includes three critical areas–aeration, fertilization, and overseeding.
Soils throughout Colorado are predominantly clay, which are low-oxygen soils. Lawn aeration helps to reincorporate oxygen into the root zone while controlling thatch, improving soil structure and creating growth pockets for new roots. Don't remove the plugs from your lawn after service–simply mulch these nutrient-rich plugs back into your lawn with your next mowing.
Once your aeration is complete, you can reseed and fertilize the same day, allowing the product to fall in the newly created soil holes for maximum absorption.
And remember, your lawn will need a good dose of water after your fall lawn renovation is complete, and the weeks leading up to Colorado's first frost.
Is your lawn in need of a fall renovation? Contact SavATree today to schedule your fall lawn services and get your lawn ready for spring!


"Misery" is a joint Lennon-McCartney composition originally written for sixteen-year-old Helen Shapiro when she toured the UK with the Beatles in February and March of 1963. The cool Beatles fact is that although Shapiro was the most popular pop singer in Great Britain at the time, her management declined the song. It was recorded on February 11, 1963 at Abbey Road and was included on the Please Please Me album, the group's first.
McCartney and Lennon share lead vocals. Lennon plays rhythm guitar, Harrison lead, McCartney bass, and Starr drums.


The designs will depend on the style of the resident, ranging from organic figures to children's character drawings for children's bedrooms. The environments also vary according to the intention and the proposal of the project, can be part of bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, rooms, external areas, corridors and etc.
It is interesting to adhere only one wall with the graphite so that there is not a heavy environment and with too much information. So invest also in clean furniture and preferably white with straight lines. For small environments the ideal is to have an art with smaller details and few tones, because it offers a sensation of a smaller space if you use vibrant colors.
To adhere to the decoration with graphite the essential thing is to identify with the style. Remember to choose colors that can harmonize with the rooms of the environment, getting a final result extremely balanced with the rest of the decoration.

My name is Leslie Sbrocco, and I'm the host of Check, Please! Bay Area. Each week, I'll share my tasting notes about the wine, beer and spirits the guests and I drank on set during the taping of the show.
Faire La Fête Crémant de Limoux Brut
France, $19
For affordably delicious bubbly, seek out Faire La Fête. It's not Champagne (that only comes from the region of the same name in France), rather it's French Crémant, which refers to sparkling wines made from around the country. This one happens to hail from the southern part of France where sparkling wine originated in 1531. Faire La Fête basically means having a party, so whether you're toasting Tuesday night takeout for yourself or a Saturday soirée with friends, raise a glass of this crisp, fruity fizz.
2018 Emeritus Vineyards, 'Hallberg Blanc' Pinot Noir
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, $40
Emeritus is a new class of classic when it comes to California Pinot Noir. It was founded in 1999 by famed vintner, Brice Cutrer Jones, after he sold Sonoma-Cutrer and bought Hallberg Ranch. A Pinot Noir master, Jones has crafted a version like no other with the Hallberg Blanc. It represents the best of both worlds because he's made a white wine from red grapes. How? The juice is gently extracted from the red Pinot Noir grapes with little skin contact, which is the thing that imparts the purple hue to red wines. With melon and peach aromas, a kiss of oak richness and a sultry texture, it's one of the best wines I've sipped all year.
2018 Louis Jadot Mâcon-Villages Chardonnay
Burgundy, France, $16
When it comes to well-priced Chardonnay with finesse, you can't beat this wine from the noted house of Louis Jadot in Burgundy, France. Coming from the south of Burgundy in an area called the Mâconnais, it's a fruit-driven Chardonnay capturing a streak of minerality from the vineyards' limestone soils. No oak is used to make the wines making the purity of the citrus and stone fruit shine through. An all-purpose white, you can pair it with a brunch egg casserole, a lunch goat cheese salad or dinner rotisserie chicken.
2016 Spottswoode Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
St. Helena, Napa Valley, California, $225
Spottswoode ranks among the top wine producers in the world. For four decades they have consistently crafted cellar-worthy, but still enjoyable-upon-release Cabernets that define the best of Napa Valley. Their 2016 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception. Uncorking it now allows for immediate indulgence in this silky red with seamless balance. But, aging for a few years will help the wine open up gracefully exposing even more complexity and elegance. The Novak women – Mary and Beth and Lindy – have been an inspiration to so many in the wine business. Not only did founder Mary Novak pass on her love of Spottswoode to her daughters, Beth and Lindy, who are now in charge, but with quiet strength she helped shape the historic property into the lauded star it is today.
Germany (375 ml), $45
As a gin lover, I appreciate the character of each gin. Much like a beautiful necklace crafted with a variety of stones pieced together to make a whole, gins use various blends of botanicals to achieve their final style. That's why I adore Monkey 47 Gin. It's exotic and distinct, but also simply delicious to sip. Made in Germany's Black Forest using natural spring water from the area, they also utilize local ingredients such as lingonberries, angelica root and acacia flowers. These are only some of the 47 botanicals used, which impart its powerful and magnetic charm. Though it's a serious spirit, the name and label are an ode to Max the Monkey who dominates the whimsical website and brand story.

Spokane Shock are back in business in 2020
By Dan Nailen
Young Kwak photo
They're baaaack. This shot is from a Spokane Shock game back in 2015, but the team will be back on the field at Spokane Arena in March 2020.
It's been a spell since Spokane indoor-football fans had something to cheer about, but Friday changed all that.
NFL great Sam Adams dropped by the Spokane Arena to share the news that he will be one of the owners of the newest iteration of the Spokane Shock, and the team will kick off a new season in March.
"We couldn't be any more pleased to have the opportunity to reintroduce the Shock," Adams said at a press conference. "We have assembled a strong leadership team, are signing players and have been surprised and excited to see the enthusiasm the Spokane community has for the Shock."
Billy Back will be the new Shock's head coach and president of football operations after stops with a wide array of arena football teams.
The old version of the Shock won two AF2 championships and one world championship as part of the Arena Football 2 League (2006-09), Arena Football League (2010-15) and Indoor Football League (2016-17).
More information about the team and tickets to the upcoming season can be found at the team's website, thespokaneshock.com.

I think that the way to have style is to accept where your body is right now, heavier or skinnier, whether you're going to change in the future and dress it as it is. The fact is you can always find clothes. It may be harder for plus sized people, I completely understand that. But I don't believe that it's impossible to dress with style.

Un dominio emoji es un nombre de dominio  con un emoji en él, por ejemplo www.😉.tld.

Función
Para que un dominio emoji funcione, debe convertirse en el denominado "Punycode".  Punycode es un método de codificación de caracteres utilizado para los nombres de dominio internacionalizados (IDN).  Esta representación se utiliza al registrar dominios que contienen caracteres especiales.  La representación ASCII comienza con el prefijo "xn--" y va seguida del nombre de dominio que contiene emoji codificado como Punycode, por ejemplo "xn--i-7iq".

Cada emoji tiene una única representación Punycode.  Por ejemplo, "😉" en un IDN está representado tan "xn--n28h".  Hay varios generadores en el Internet que permiten convertir emoji a Punycode y visceversa.

Disponibilidad e inscripción
La disponibilidad de dominios emoji es limitada.  En agosto de 2017, hay ocho dominios de nivel superior para los cuales es posible el registro, todos los cuales son ccTLD : .cf , .fm , .ga , .gq , .ml , .tk , .to y .ws .

El registro de un dominio emoji puede ser más difícil que con los nombres de dominio normales usando solo caracteres ASCII , ya que a veces no es posible ingresar emoji en los formularios de registro en línea de los registradores de nombres de dominio , y en su lugar se debe ingresar la representación de Punycode .

Historia
Los primeros tres dominios emoji se crearon el 19 de abril de 2001: ♨.com (xn--j6h.com), ♨.net (xn--j6h.net) y ☮.com (xn--v4h.com ).   Cabel Sasser de Panic creó 💩.la (xn--ls8h.la), "El primer dominio Emoji del mundo", el 13 de abril de 2011.   En febrero de 2015, Coca-Cola usó un nombre de dominio que contenía un emoji sonriente en una campaña publicitaria dirigida a usuarios de dispositivos móviles en Puerto Rico.

El 15 de agosto de 2017, Register.TO comenzó a respaldar el registro de dominios emoji.

A partir de 2018, hay aproximadamente 25,000 dominios de emoji registrados en el TLD .ws .

El 29 de marzo de 2018, .fm (Micronesia) comenzó a permitir el registro de dominios emoji.

Problemas
El soporte entre los registradores de nombres de dominio para dominios emoji es limitado.

Otro problema es que los emojis pueden verse diferentes según el sistema operativo, las aplicaciones y las fuentes utilizadas.   No todos los navegadores soportan dominios emoji.  En Google Chrome y Firefox , los emoji se muestran como Punycode en la barra de direcciones.  En Safari , por otro lado, los emoji son visibles en la barra de direcciones.  Los dominios Emoji también se muestran como tales en los resultados de búsqueda de Google y Bing.

También hay problemas con el uso de dominios emoji en las redes sociales.  Si bien están bien soportados en Twitter y LinkedIn , Facebook e Instagram imponen serias restricciones.

Actualmente, solo se admite la codificación Punycode en los dominios de correo electrónico, como en "mail@xn--n28h.tld".

Subdominios emoji
Los subdominios emoji son como los subdominios normales, excepto que comienzan con emoji.  Los subdominios emoji son posibles con muchos TLD populares, incluido .com.  Al igual que con cualquier otro dominio emoji, los subdominios emoji se deben convertir en Punycode y luego se pueden usar como subdominios regulares.  Por lo tanto, combinaciones de dominio como 👍.website.tld (xn - yp8h.website.tld) son posibles.  Esto permite una amplia gama de dominios emoji fuera de los ccTLD.

What 100 Years of History Tells Us About Racism in Policing
In the middle of the 2020 pandemic, America was shaken by the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, and the protests that erupted in the aftermath. But the disturbing trends we see today in police violence are the same patterns we've seen over the last 100 years. Again and again, commissions convened to examine why police brutality sparks unrest have come to the same conclusion: We must address the poverty and systemic racism that go hand in hand with policing communities of color.
This week, we launched a series of four short films taking a critical look at what we've learned from the last 100 years of racism in policing. The solution to healing this long-standing problem is clear: It's time to divest from the police and reinvest in communities of color.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/2kuFZUQNvBo
In 1991, a video emerged of California Highway Patrol officers brutally beating an unarmed Black man, Rodney King, during a traffic stop. Four officers were charged, but were later acquitted. The verdict sent shockwaves through South Central Los Angeles. The concurrent drug epidemic, gang violence, and systemic racism added fuel to the fire.
Despite calls for immediate action, including an admission by the post uprising commission that the LAPD could not deal with the root causes of crime, very little changed. More money continued to go to the LAPD while funding for schools, housing, and critical social services came in second. These trends continue today.
Detroit, 1967
https://www.youtube.com/embed/xlqfEYSSi8M
In the summer of 1967, a wave of protests swept the city of Detroit after the police arrested patrons of a "blind pig," an illegal after-hours bar in a mostly Black neighborhood. The partygoers included two Black Vietnam War veterans who were celebrating their return home. Throughout five days of protests, 43 people were killed, 1,189 were injured, and 7,200 were arrested.
In response, President Lyndon B. Johnson sent in the National Guard and the U.S. Army, turning Detroit's streets into a combat zone. He also set up a commission to understand the uprising. But when the commission released its findings in the Kerner Report the following year, he ignored most recommendations and set aside its findings that the root causes of the uprisings were disinvestment in Black communities, Black powerlessness and frustrated hopes, and how police "symbolize white power, white racism, and white repression" for significant numbers of Black people.
Harlem, 1935
https://www.youtube.com/embed/_miNyuSOJ9w
When a Harlem shopkeeper thought he saw a teen pocket a 10-cent penknife, he tackled the boy to the ground and a police officer nearby arrested him. Protests erupted outside the store as neighbors and passersby suspected the officer was abusing the boy. The resulting riots lasted two days. Three people were killed and 75 people — mostly Black — were arrested.
Amid cries from activists, civil rights leaders, and unions, New York's Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia set up a biracial commission to diagnose the problem and to prescribe a cure. This commission found that the upheaval was due, in large part, to "the nervous strain of years of unemployment and insecurity of black residents in Harlem," in addition to "the deep sense of wrong and discrimination against them in the school system and by the police."
Chicago, 1919
https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ao9KMj2EWg0
On Lake Michigan in 1919, a white man threw rocks at a Black boy whose boat had drifted to the "wrong" side of the lake. The boy drowned. Protests broke out across the city.
Governor Frank Lowden appointed a commission that found that "Negroes are more commonly arrested, subjected to police identification and convicted than white offenders." But policing was just one facet of white supremacy, which touched the lives of Black people in housing, in education and in employment. Almost a century later, the Chicago Police Department's own records from 2000-2015 show that nearly 90 percent of victims of police use of force were people of color.
Today, events virtually identical to those in Chicago, Harlem, Detroit, and Los Angeles are unfolding across the country, and policing still acts as an occupying force in communities of color. The murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis this year shined a bright light on what we keep getting wrong.
In 2014, Minneapolis was one of the cities piloting the Obama administration's National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice — a multimillion-dollar program that was the administration's response to national calls for police accountability. The Minneapolis police department implemented trainings on implicit bias, mindfulness, de-escalation, and crisis intervention; diversified the department's leadership; created tighter use-of-force standards; adopted body cameras; initiated a series of police-community dialogues; and an enhanced early-warning system to identify problem officers. The hope was that these training programs would professionalize policing and reduce abuses that might trigger more protests. This was all before George Floyd was killed. None of it worked.
Calls to invest more money in police departments for training ignore the lessons from Minneapolis and the fact that the racist trends we see today in police violence are not new. How much longer will we continue to pour increasing sums of money into a system of law enforcement that has demonstrated an inability or unwillingness to change after 101 years?
By looking deeply at the history of racism in policing, we can better understand why it's not just reform, but a full re-allocation of resources that is necessary for us to end violence and injustice in our communities. We've known the problem and we've known the solution for 100 years. It's long past time to act.
