Oluf Nicolai Roll (25 October 1818 – 12 November 1906) was a Norwegian engineer, architect and politician. He was responsible for the industrial development of the area around the river Akerselva in Christiania, and served as Director General of Statens Havnevesen from 1861 to 1896.

Personal life
Roll was born in Trondhjem, the son of Jacob Roll (1783–1870) and Emilie Pihl (1797–1822). He was a maternal grandnephew of Abraham Pihl. On the paternal side he was a half-brother of Ferdinand Nicolai Roll, Karl Jacob Roll and Selma Roll, Through them he was an uncle of Karl Roll and Arthur and Jacob Roll Knagenhjelm.

In May 1847 in Aker he married Hanna Christine Schou (1825–1867), a daughter of brewer Christian Schou and sister of Halvor Schou. They adopted the engineer Thomas Pihlfeldt.

Career
Roll finished his secondary education in 1838, and then studied at the Royal Frederick University in Christiania, at the Polytechnische Hochschule in Hannover, and at the École des Arts et Métiers in Paris. Back in Norway he was manager at the paper mill at Bentse Brug.

In 1845 he founded the company Nydalens Compagnie together with Adam Hiorth, Hans Gulbranson and Ole Gjerdrum. He was a board member from 1845 to 1868. He contributed by designing all the buildings for the first spinning mill (1845–1847), and also at a later expansion in 1856 and the construction of a weaving mill in 1864. Nydalens Compagnie developed into the largest textile company in Norway from the 1890s. Roll has been called "Norway's first civil engineer", and also "a sort of a godfather to industrialism in Christiania." The founding of Nydalens Companie has been said to signal the start of industrialization in Norway.

Roll also founded Christiania Mekaniske Væveri in 1847 together with Hiorth, Gulbranson, Peter J. K. Petersen and Iver Olsen. He designed new buildings for the companies Bentse Brug (1850), Hjula Væveri (1854–1856; this company was owned by Halvor Schou), and Nedre Vøien Spinderi from 1860. He also acted as a consultant for Myrens Verksted and Kværner Brug.

In 1861 he was appointed Director General of Statens Havnevesen, a position he held until 1896. He was a member of the executive committee of the City Council of Christiania from 1856 to 1868. He was decorated Commander, Second Class of the Order of St. Olav in 1894, and was a Knight of the Order of Vasa.

I've always had a major problem organizing our magazines at home, I have way too many architecture magazines and books and I couldn't seem to find a good way to keep them organized.
The magazines can't stand on its on, they fall over and if you pile them up it gets too hard to go through them without making a mess.
So, I did a little research and found out there is a vertical organizer. I couldn't find where to buy it for a reasonable price so I decided to make them myself.
To make them I used cereal boxes because of their similar form. It turned out to be an easy project and very useful!

Cornwall Council leader Alec Robertson told members today that one reason it was difficult for the Electoral Services department to investigate fully the issue of second home voters was because of secrecy rules.
The 1872 Ballot Act introduced the principle of secret voting and these days few would argue that it is vital to prevent intimidation and promote democracy. But ballot papers are numbered, and election officials match this number to a voter's registration number.
After an election, ballot papers are held in secure storage for a year - after that they can be destroyed. The reason they are kept is in case there are allegations of fraud which might prompt an investigation by an Election Court. No Parliamentary election has been questioned in this way since 1911 but challenges are more frequent in local council elections.
When vote tracing is needed, it is usually to find out if the "elector" was actually entitlted to vote, rather than identify which candidate they voted for.
"If vote tracing were to be prohibited, it would be necessary to try to identify alternative means of dealing with allegations of personation. One alternative would be to declare the result void and hold a fresh election. However, this would be time-consuming and costly, and difficult to justify solely on the basis of an allegation of personation.".
So it seems pretty clear - if you are planning a specific allegation, you need first of all sufficient evidence to persuade an Election Court to open the ballot papers, and you need to take action within 12 months of the election.
For anyone hoping to challenge the result of any Parliamentary elections in Cornwall, on the basis that some second home owners might have (illegally) voted in more than one part of the UK, this is a tough call. It would require simultaneous investigations in every constituency where the second home owners might have voted - an almost impossible task.
"If an elector is registered to vote in two different electoral areas, they are eligible to vote in local elections for the two different local councils."
An electoral system based on property ownership? The returning officer's judgement about primary and equal residency will become increasingly important as the number of second homes in Cornwall increases.

GST Council may consider national bench of AAAR next month
Published: May 20, 201912:34 pm
The AARs in different states have passed about 470 orders, while AAARs have disposed of around 69 cases till March 2019.
The GST Council is likely to consider next month a proposal for setting up a national bench of the Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling (AAAR) to reconcile the contradictory orders on similar issues passed by AARs in different states, a move aimed at providing certainty to taxpayers.
Sources said the revenue department is mulling on the idea of a national bench of AAAR since it feels that the Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) mechanism in its current form is not serving its objective of providing certainty to taxpayers under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.
"There has been a view that a second Appellate Authority for Advance Ruling needs to be set up. It would be a national bench only to reconcile divergent verdicts passed by state AARs. We will present the proposal before the GST Council, which is expected to meet in June," an official told PTI.
Out of the orders passed by AARs, contradictory orders were passed in about 10 cases, a couple of which were later clarified by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC).
The official further said the GST law would have to be amended for setting up a second appellate authority since the Act in its present form does not provide for a centralised authority.
Setting up of a national bench of AAAR would help bring certainty in the GST era as divergent rulings by AARs leave the industry flummoxed about the tax implication of a particular business decision.
"The composition of the national bench of AAAR would be decided after the states agree to the proposal," the official added.
In view of the confusion created by contradictory rulings, the revenue department had last year too mooted a proposal to set up a centralised appellate authority for advance ruling to bring uniformity in such cases.
The GST Council, chaired by Union Finance Minister and comprising state counterparts, was scheduled to discuss it in its meeting in July 2018. However, the council did not arrive at a decision on the agenda item.
Under the GST law, each state is required to set up an Authority for Advance Ruling (AAR) comprising one member from the central tax department, and another from the respective state.
An aggrieved party can file an appeal against an order of the AAR to the AAAR within a period of 30 days, which may be further extended by a month.
The appellate authority has two members — the Chief Commissioner of Central Tax as designated by the CBIC and the Commissioner of State Tax.
The appellate authority has been mandated to pass order within 90 days of the filing of an appeal.
Industry is of the view that since both the AAR and AAAR only have tax officers as members, the ruling is most cases is tilted towards the revenue side.
The New Delhi bench of the AAR had in March last year held that duty-free shops at airports are liable to deduct GST from passengers. However, these shops were exempt from service tax and Central Sales Tax in the earlier regime. This had created a flutter in the industry.
Similarly, the solar industry too was left in a vexed situation when the Maharashtra AAR said that 18 percent GST rate would be levied for installation works, but the Karnataka bench of AAR passed an order levying 5 percent GST on the same.
Also, the AARs in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat had passed divergent orders on applicability of GST on catering services in an industrial/office unit, which was later clarified by the CBIC through a circular.
Besides, there were contradictory orders passed by AARs in different states on levy of GST on payment made by breweries to brand owner, availability of Input Tax Credit (ITC) on cess paid and also whether ITC is admissible when the recipient settles the payment through a book adjustment.
AMRG & Associates Partner Rajat Mohan said: "A National Bench/ Regional Benches needs to be implanted in the quasi-judicial decision-making process of AAR so that decisions of the lower authority could be re-calibrated by a higher centralised authority freeing them from revenue bias and passing on relief of certainty by preserving a nation-wide single line of verdicts."

Charlie Miller, the security expert whose meticulously crafted exploit took over a MacBook through Safari in 10 seconds at the Pwn2Own hacking competition, says that Macs are in fact safer than Windows. Oh boy.
"I'd say that Macs are less secure for the reasons we've discussed here (lack of anti-exploitation technologies) but are more safe because there simply isn't much malware out there. For now, I'd still recommend Macs for typical users as the odds of something targeting them are so low that they might go years without seeing any malware, even though if an attacker cared to target them it would be easier for them."
"None of those protections would have probably worked, or at least there were potential workarounds. The best thing the user could have done is not click on the malicious link. Of course, in some cases such as a man-in-the-middle attack, even this wouldn't have helped."

Citar fuera de contexto es una falacia informal y un tipo de falsa atribución. Consiste en extraer un trozo de texto de un párrafo de manera que se distorsione su significado original. O algo mal interpretado

Los argumentos basados en esta falacia suelen adoptar dos formas. Una argumentación de tipo hombre de paja, muy frecuente en política, consiste en citar a un adversario fuera de contexto para deformar y caricaturizar sus dichos —normalmente para hacerlos parecer más sencillos o más extremos— y así hacerlos más fáciles de refutar. El otro tipo consiste en una referencia a un experto. En este caso, la falacia consiste en citar fuera de contexto a una autoridad o a un experto en la materia para «hacerle decir» que apoya una determinada posición.

Contextomy
Contextomía, del inglés (contextomy), se refiere a la extracción selectiva de palabras o expresiones fuera de su contexto original en una manera que distorsiona el sentido que le dio el escritor, una práctica comúnmente conocida como «citar fuera de contexto». El problema aquí no es el tomar una cita de su contexto original en sí, sino la decisión del escritor que hace la cita de excluir en su resumen ciertas frases u oraciones (que pasan a ser «contexto» a causa de la exclusión) que sirven para aclarar las intenciones detrás de las palabras seleccionadas cercanas. Comparando esta práctica con la escisión quirúrgica, el periodista Milton Mayer acuñó el término «contextomy» al describir su uso por Julius Streicher, editor del semanario nazi de gran formato Der Stürmer en la Alemania de Weimar. Para despertar sentimientos antisemitas entre los lectores cristianos de clase trabajadora de este semanario, Streicher publicó regularmente citas parciales de los textos talmúdicos que, en su forma abreviada, parecían abogar por la codicia, la esclavitud y el asesinato ritual. Aunque rara vez se emplea a tal extremo malicioso, contextomy (contextomía) es un método frecuentemente usado para emitir falsas declaraciones en los medios de comunicación contemporáneos. Los estudios han demostrado que los efectos de esta distorsión pueden persistir incluso después que el público toma contacto con la cita original dentro de todo su contexto.

Ejemplo
Un ejemplo de contextomía ocurrió cuando el productor del canal noticioso AJ+ Omar Dawaji sacó de contexto a Sam Harris en un vídeo de Youtube haciendo parecer que el movimiento ateo, New Atheists, estaban en «absoluta guerra con todos los musulmanes», cuando en realidad lo que dijo Harris era que «Lo que enfrentamos con el Islam es un culto de muerte. Esto no quiere decir que estemos en guerra contra todos los musulmanes, sino que estamos absolutamente en guerra con los musulmanes que creen correcto decapitar a caricaturistas, lapidar a muerte a las mujeres acusadas de adulterio, o que apostatar de su fe deba ser una ofensa punible con la muerte».

Democracy in Crisis: Comey, Comey, Comey Chameleon, You Come and Go
Posted on May 10, 2017 by Baynard Woods
Back in March when then-FBI Director James Comey testified before the House Select Intelligence Committee –chaired by Devin Nunes, who had yet to jump out of an Uber in the middle of the night for a shady White House meeting — he began the substance of his remarks by saying, "I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts."
The statement felt both obvious and shocking. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the head of the Department of Justice, was one of the Trump campaign officials who had met with Russian officials and lied to congress about it. He recused himself from any matters dealing with the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. But lingering questions about whether an FBI investigation of Trump would be independent made Comey's testimony feel weird.
It feels way fucking weirder now that the Trump regime fired Comey Tuesday, shortly after he misstated the actions of Hillary Clinton advisor Huma Abedin and the nature of emails she sent to her dick-pic-snapping husband Anthony Weiner. The regime cites Comey's public statements about the Clinton email investigation in July and its surrogates claim, insanely, that they were concerned over his treatment of Clinton more generally and, once again, everything is turned upside down. Roger Stone, long-time Trump advisor who told Democracy in Crisis that he believed he was under investigation by the FBI, told the Daily Caller, "What Comey did to Hillary was disgraceful. I'm glad Trump fired him over it."
Back in October, Sessions also thought Comey should be fired for his handling of the Clinton investigation — essentially for not locking her up.
Clinton and her supporters indeed blame Comey for throwing the election to Trump with his statement that the FBI had reopened its investigation into Clinton's email in light of the messages from her it found on Weiner's laptop only 11 days before the election. Whether or not that letter ended up changing the course of the election — a possibility that, Comey said made him "mildly nauseous" — it certainly played a role, especially when it came out that he had not yet announced that the Trump campaign was also under investigation.
This is our bizarro world: Clintonites are mourning Comey as hardcore Trumpists trumpet his ouster as a blow against the Deep State and Trump himself brands it as "draining the swamp."
But it is not about Comey at all. What is important is that Trump fired the person investigating his campaign's connections to Russia — with the "clear recommendation" of Jeff Sessions, who could possibly be subject of investigation and had recused himself from dealing with anything involving the Russian investigation.
This came the day after former acting Attorney General Sally Yates testified in front of the Senate that she had warned the Trump administration that former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn had been compromised and could be blackmailed by the Russians — 18 days before he was finally gone. During that time, he sat in on a call between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But then, to make it even crazier, after Comey got canned, CNN reported that they had discovered that federal prosecutors had recently issued subpoenas to associates of Flynn as they sought business records in the Russia probe.
Even Jeff Flake, the senator from Arizona who generally deflected for Trump during the Senate Intelligence Committee's hearing on Russia, tweeted: "I've spent the last several hours trying to find an acceptable rationale for the timing of Comey's firing. I just can't do it."
Others, including John McCain, Arizona's other Senator and sometime Trump foe, are amplifying their calls for an independent special prosecutor.
Curious what's happening this weekend? Sign up here to stay in the know.
Meanwhile, an activist named Desiree Fairooz is facing a year in jail for laughing during the same conformation in which Sessions lied about his contact with Russian agents.
This is democracy in crisis.

Tencent's 'Super App' WeChat Is Quietly Taking Over Workplaces In China
Yue Wang
I write about interesting Chinese companies.
Forget about office apps like Slack, or Alibaba's DingTalk. In China, people don't have much need for corporate communication tools because business is done on the country's top social media platform: WeChat.
The app, called Weixin in Mandarin Chinese and operated by Chinese web giant Tencent, is already a phenomenon in its own right. It lets people send instant messages and post about personal events, while incorporating functions like ride hailing, buying movie tickets, sending payments, settling utility bills as well as online shopping. WeChat, which now has more than 800 million users, is essentially a portal of web services that an average Chinese checks about 10 times a day. Last year, HSBC valued the app at $83.6 billion, about half of the market capitalization of the Hong Kong-listed Tencent.

The company isn't stopping at personal use, however. It has added a range of business-oriented features onto the app over the years, effectively making WeChat the go-to corporate communication tool blurring the lines between work and life.
More than 20 million office workers now apply for leave, file for reimbursement and track project progress through WeChat's enterprise accounts, which are special built-in accounts that Chinese companies open for their employees, Tencent said during an analyst call on Wednesday. In addition to common features such as file transfer and group call, the accounts offer customized functions for different bureaus and firms.

Supermarket chain Meiyijia, for example, added functions where employees can report inventories while the Beijing Institute of Technology allows its students and professors to check performance and pay school fees through its account, according to the website of WeChat enterprise account. Companies can also offer customers virtual membership cards through WeChat, where consumers can scan each time they make a purchase to accumulate reward points.
Even before all those functions become popularized, people already use WeChat for basic work place communication over professional apps such as DingTalk, an office app developed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba with about one million company users.
Chinese office workers share files through WeChat instead of using e-mail. Group conferences are also conducted on the app as opposed to Skype. People ask for each other's WeChat ID, not name cards, during business meetings.
And they aren't having much of a problem mixing workplace contacts with personal lives. Michael Zhang, a 28-year-old wealth management professional, says he is constantly on the app during work to talk to clients. Ma Wanzhi, a 27-year-old project assistant, says she has 10 work-related groups on WeChat and she spends more than two hours every day there, while also using it for family and personal matters.
"I really depend on WeChat for work because it is super convenient," Ma says. "Everyone is on the app, so there is really no need for companies to invest in a new work app."
Behind the popularity is China's traditional reliance on guanxi, or relationships, for business development, analysts say. Having business contacts on what is supposed to be a personal app like WeChat is just one way to build relationships in the country, says Chris DeAngelis, general manager at consultancy Alliance Development Group, which helps western technology companies expand in China.
"Everyone shares their lives on WeChat. A lot of relationships start with people following each other's posts. If we have an active project going on, we will set up 20 groups. It is not like when you have to go on a computer and open up Skype."
There is still a market for more professional services, says Pang Yiming, a research director at Beijing-based consultancy Analysys International. Larger companies prioritizing security and better internal management are willing to pay for the likes of DingTalk, while smaller firms are content with what WeChat offers, she says.
"More than 90% of Chinese netizens are already on WeChat," she says. "The free group calls are enough for most companies."

M-Sport to supply BTCC engine from 2022
Former World Rally champion's M-Sport will develop and supply a race engine for the BTCC from the 2022 season.
Former World Rally champion's M-Sport will develop and supply a race engine for the British Touring Car Championship from the 2022 season.
M-Sport, best known for its WRC glory with Ford, will take over from the BTCC's outgoing supplier Swindon Engines, who will continue to supply the series with its powertrain until the end of the 2021 campaign.
The Swindon TOCA engine currently powers some 55% of the BTCC grid, including both of the works Vauxhall and Toyota teams.
Nine companies expressed their interest in developing the BTCC engine, with seven of them submitting a formal tender, before the final shortlist was whittled down to four potential suppliers.
The majority of the teams voted in favour of M-Sport to secure the five-year engine supply deal from 2022-26.

With the renewal of the latest cycle of the TOCA engine coinciding with the arrival of the hybrid era for the series in 2022, M-Sport will work alongside Cosworth, who are developing the new BTCC Hybrid System.
"I'm delighted to welcome M-Sport into the BTCC family and congratulate them on their successful tender," said BTCC Chief Executive Alan Gow.
"The opportunity to supply the TOCA engine from 2022 understandably attracted great interest from an extremely high calibre of bidders, so it is testament to M-Sport's professionalism and expertise that they were able to come out on top of such a competitive and comprehensive process.

"I would also like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to Swindon Powertrain, who have been such an integral part of the success of the BTCC engine regulations, and we look forward to working closely with them for the remaining two seasons of their contract."
M-Sport's Managing Director Malcom Wilson added: "We're delighted to have been selected to supply the new TOCA BTCC engine in 2022
"The BTCC has long been a popular and prestigious part of the British motorsport scene, and we're all looking forward to working with TOCA and the relevant teams on this new and exciting project.
"I firmly believe that M-Sport has some of the best engineering expertise in the country, and with the development of our on-site Evaluation Centre this capability is only going to increase."

KTRK-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 13, is an ABC owned-and-operated television station licensed to Houston, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the ABC Owned Television Stations subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company (through its Disney-ABC Television Group division). KTRK's studios are located on Bissonnet Street in the Upper Kirby district, and its transmitter is located near Missouri City, in unincorporated northeastern Fort Bend County.
The station grew out of the Federal Communications Commission-imposed VHF "freeze", when three entities vying for the channel 13 assignment, including the Houston Chronicle, decided to merge as Houston Consolidated Television. The group also bought the studio facilities of KNUZ-TV (channel 39), a DuMont affiliate which had gone dark.
The station first signed on the air on November 20, 1954, as KTRK-TV; as the Chronicle was the largest shareholder in the partnership. The station took the ABC affiliation from KPRC-TV (channel 2) and has stayed aligned with the network since its debut. The station's original studio facilities were located at 4513 Cullen Boulevard (at the defunct Texas Television Center district on the University of Houston campus); this studio later housed KHTV (now CW affiliate KIAH, the present channel 39) and PBS member station KUHT (channel 8). Like many stations located on "unlucky" channel 13, it used a black cat as its mascot.
In 1955, the Chronicle bought out its partners. Although this theoretically left the paper free to change its callsign to KTRH-TV to match its radio station, it opted not to. However, for years it called itself "The Houston Chronicle Station." Soon afterward, the station moved to its current Bissonnet Street facility. The studio was the first domed structure in town, predating the better-known Astrodome by ten years. Both projects were designed by the same architect, Hermon Lloyd.
Early programs involved a heavy emphasis on local flavor and reflected themes of the day. Some of the more popular local shows included:
Kitirik: a children's program, hosted by an actress in a cat costume.
Cadet Don: A space-themed children's adventure program that focused on the exploits of an interstellar adventurer and the locations he visited. His alien puppet friend Seymour was from the planet Katark.
Dialing for Dollars: A game show of sorts where a viewer would be phoned by the host and would win a cash prize by answering questions.
Good Morning Houston: The successor to Dialing for Dollars, which debuted in the late 1970s and expanded to include discussions on local events and topics important to viewer's lifestyles.
In 1967, the Chronicle sold KTRK to Capital Cities Broadcasting (later to become Capital Cities Communications), earning a handsome return on its 1937 purchase of KTRH. Under Capital Cities ownership, KTRK introduced its "Circle 13" logo – which is loosely patterned after the Circle 7 logo long used by ABC stations and affiliates broadcasting on channel 7 – in 1971. The original version, used until 1995, was set in a Helvetica typeface, with the bottom of the "3" trailing off outside the circle (similar also to the way the stem of the number 7 terminates at the bottom of the Circle 7 logo)--a nod to livestock branding of the Old West.
Capital Cities bought ABC in 1986, making KTRK an ABC owned-and-operated station and the first network-owned television station in the state of Texas. That year, the trailing portion of the station's logo was "trimmed" and was turned slightly horizontal in a similar fashion to the present-day version (the logo began to be superimposed over a stylized version of the Texas state flag on July 3, 1992).
Capital Cities/ABC was sold to The Walt Disney Company in early 1996. Not long after, the new Disney-led ownership directed KTRK-TV to clear the entire ABC schedule, though there have been instances where local special events have aired in place of network programming (the annual running of the Chevron Houston Marathon is one notable example of this as live race coverage, anchored by the station's news team, pre-empted the Sunday edition of Good Morning America).
On April 30, 2000, a dispute between Disney and Time Warner Cable resulted in KTRK being pulled from TWC's Houston service area for over 24 hours. Other ABC stations in markets served by Time Warner Cable, such as New York City, Los Angeles and Raleigh-Durham, were also affected by the outage before the FCC forced the provider to restore the affected ABC stations to those areas on May 2 (Time Warner traded the Houston franchise to Comcast in exchange for the latter's Dallas-Fort Worth system in 2007).

Um pilão é um utensílio culinário essencial na cozinha africana, com as mesmas funções de um almofariz, ou seja, para moer alimentos, mas de tamanho muito maior. Não deve ser confundida com a peça de ponta arredondada de almofarizes mais pequenos.

É normalmente feito de um tronco escavado, geralmente de uma madeira macia, com dimensões que variam entre 30 a 70 cm de altura. Dentro  da cavidade, coloca-se o material a moer, que é então batido com um bastão liso de 60 cm a 1,2 m (de acordo com o tamanho do pilão), o qual pode ser de uma madeira mais rija e que tem uma das extremidades arredondada - a mão do pilão.

Os grandes pilões, geralmente para cereais (principalmente milho ou sorgo), podem ser utilizados por várias pessoas ao mesmo tempo, cada uma com um bastão (pau do pilão), que vão batendo os grãos alternadamente, ao som de uma melopeia que dá o ritmo das batidas. Para além de moer o grão, o pilão é também usado para descascar o arroz. Em Cabo Verde, essa técnica é até hoje utilizada para moer sobretudo o milho. O ato de pilar recebe o nome, em crioulo, de cotchi.

Os pequenos pilões são empregados para triturar alimentos utilizados em menores quantidades, tais como  amendoim e castanha de caju, ingredientes do famoso caril de amendoim).

O pau do pilão é ainda usado para moer mais finamente massas, por exemplo, de milho já moído e misturado com água, em recipientes de barro largos, com um movimento circular.

No sul de Moçambique, o pilão é um dos objetos normalmente oferecido aos noivos, no dia seguinte ao casamento, numa cerimónia chamada xiguiane.

Nas religiões

O pilão é utilizado nas religiões tradicionais africanas, religiões afro-brasileiras e afro-americanas, no assentamento e como insígnia de alguns orixás como Xangô, Airá e Oxaguiã.

Pilão de Oxalá (ou Festa dos Inhames Novos na África), no Brasil é o nome da festa de Oxalá onde o pilão é usado para pilar o inhame para fazer a comida de Oxalá.

Usado para pilar grãos, sementes e folhas para o preparo do atim (pó de axé).

BC Hockey League playoffs are back on (in an EA Sports video simulation)
Coquitlam Express and their BC Hockey League competition are continuing their junior hockey post-season march in a video game by Burnaby's EA
Mar 26, 2020 4:34 PM By: Mario Bartel
Before the BCHL playoffs were cancelled by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coquitlam Express were set to face the Surrey Eagles for the Lower Mainland division title. The series, and the rest of the league's post-season, are now being contested virtually using the EA Sports NHL 2020 video game.TRI-CITY NEWS FILE PHOTO
The COVID-19 pandemic may have ended the championship hopes of the BC Hockey League's Coquitlam Express but the team's playoff fight is going on.
Virtually.
Thursday, the BCHL launched a simulation — created in the EA Sports video game NHL2020 — of the rest of the league's playoff series that were cancelled March 13, just as the second round of the post-season was set to begin.
A player representative from each of the eight teams remaining in the playoff tourney is handling the game controls in a head-to-head match-up against their second-round opponent, with a two-minute highlight reel — complete with commentary by the teams' broadcasters — posted to the league website.
"We were looking for a way to keep fans engaged during this unfortunate downtime," BCHL commissioner Chris Hebb said in a press release. "We've tried to make it a fun and unique BCHL experience for everyone to enjoy."
The initiative sprang from a project by the former director of communications for the Express, Jacob Lazare. Bored and restless after the team dispatched the Langley Rivermen from the playoffs' first round in four straight games and were awaiting the start of the second round, he put together a simulation of a series between Coquitlam and the Surrey Eagles, who took seven games to defeat the Chilliwack Chiefs.
Lazare said he was able to use the video game's various customization features to recreate the rosters of the two rivals, ranking each player's attributes and tendencies, like their skating ability, speed, puck-handling skills and physicality, on a scale from zero to 99.
"You can go through and create a player that mimics the actual players realistically," Lazare told The Tri-City News, adding he can set a dazzling skater like Massimo Rizzo to weave around defenders and a skilled stickman like defender Drew Cooper to repel onrushing forwards one-on-one.
While his own knowledge of the Express gleaned from running the team's video camera during games helped him build Coquitlam's digital doppelgänger, Lazare reached out to contacts at the Eagles to inform his recreations of Surrey's players.
The effort was an amusing distraction that got some attention on social media.
But when the actual series, and the rest of the season, was scrubbed because of the pandemic, the league reached out to spin his effort into a virtual march to the Fred Page Cup championship.
Lazare said it takes him a couple of hours to handicap all the players for each team, and additional time to create facsimiles of the uniforms and match headshots with the game's graphics.
"It's just to make it so fans can recognize their teams' players," he said of the laborious attention to detail.
Lazare lamented, however, that limitations in the game don't allow him to recreate the cozy confines of BCHL arenas, so the virtual players are battling in front of likely the biggest crowds they've ever experienced, even if they're comprised entirely of pixels.
Lazare said having actual players contest the rest of the playoffs, albeit with the help of the game's artificial intelligence, adds an extra wrinkle of unpredictability, which is part of the fun.
"Somebody is able to win it for their team," he said. "There can be upsets involved."
The first series, contested between Express goalie Joe Howe and Hassan Akl of the Surrey Eagles, is already decided, with the three remaining series to be posted in the coming days. The third round of the playoff simulation commences next week.

where do we go from here? presents primarily new works, most of which were created specially for the exhibition, by around thirty artists. The exhibition is the latest in the "Junge Szene" series (at irregular intervals since 1984, most recently in 2003) in which the Secession offers young artists an institutional platform and international attention. Besides concentrating on "young" art, where do we go from here? emphasizes the presence of women artists and appeals in a globalized world for an awareness of Central Europe as a shared region, moving beyond tired old East/West antagonisms.
With the original intention of the Junge Szene exhibition in mind, an analysis of changing conditions over the last 20-25 years played a key role in the exhibition concept. The decision to focus on Central Europe was prompted by the huge changes undergone by the Vienna art scene(s) during this period. Vienna is among the major cities of "old Europe" to benefit most directly from the geopolitical changes of the last two decades. The former lack of exhibition opportunities for "young" artists has in recent years been corrected by an ever-increasing abundance of institutions, galleries, self-organized exhibition spaces, festivals, etc.
The question posed in the show's title is meant to be read in different ways and contexts: taken literally, it refers to a phenomenon with a direct influence on the living and working conditions of a generation of young artists today: the call for unrestricted mobility and flexibility as a prerequisite for the chance of a successful career. Student exchange programs, work and studio grants have become both the basis for and the driving force behind this system—even some galleries now have their own studio exchange programs. In extreme cases, this development leads to a modern form of nomadism, with uprooting and isolation instead of the intended networking and integration.
In metaphorical terms, the title's question refers to future developments within society as a whole and especially to the potential function of art (and artists) within that society. With the globalization of the art world, viewed as a consequence of the collapse of Eastern European communism, the old antagonism between artistic autonomy and political/social engagement was revived. The processes of political, social, and economic transformation in today's Central Europe are addressed in a number of the works in the show. In their childhood and early youth, many of the featured artists grew up with the reality of communism and the division of Europe as shaping influences. Consequently, the works on show deal in very different ways with the changes—changes that had a far more direct impact in former socialist countries: documentary approaches play an important part, as do participatory strategies, or humor, irony, and nostalgia.
Finally, and in full awareness of the problems this involves, the exhibition title assumes a collective "we". Much studied by artists the world over, the recent political theory of writers such as Antonio Negri and Michael Hardt appeals emphatically for a "new community" as an alternative to the dominant neo-liberal world order. Collaborative and participatory artistic practices have long become an integral part of the art scene. At the same time, the "art star" created by the art market and based on a commercial logic enjoys great success as a heroic individualistic figure. Many of the artists in the exhibition often work in collectives or collaborate for individual projects with other artists, theorists, or the exhibition audience—at the same time as constantly competing for attention, exhibitions, sales, etc.
The exhibition takes its title from Martin Luther King's last book WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? Chaos or Community?, written in 1967 when, after its first major successes, the black civil rights movement had entered a period of crisis. Today, this work is seen as his legacy and as evidence of his socio-political visions and hopes—much of it still relevant to this day. At the same time, King's self-reflexive and critical analysis is a snapshot of a society faced with the choice of sinking into chaos or working towards a life together as a peaceful community based on equality. Without wishing to draw parallels to the black civil rights movement of the 1960s, many of the acute social problems of that period – such as racism, discrimination, unequal distribution of wealth, and class divisions—persist today.

Chitta (prononciation chitta) (sanskrit, IAST: citta;  devanāgarī : चित्त ; pali) désigne, selon le contexte, la conscience, la pensée, l'esprit, l'intelligence, le cœur. Dans le Vedanta, citta est l'essence de la conscience, son siège en est symboliquement le cœur, où il est associé à l'âme (jivatman). Il a également le sens de mémoire, de pensée ou de conscience. Dans le bouddhisme, il désigne l'esprit au sens le plus large.

Hindouisme

Sāṃkhya Yoga
Dans les Yoga Sūtra de Patañjali, ce terme désigne le réceptacle des impressions (issues des Vṛtti) formées à partir des objets perçus ou conçus (conception) par le mental (manas) à l'aide des dix indriya.

Ce terme désigne en yoga non seulement le réceptacle des perceptions et fonctions vitales, mais encore les impressions (saṃskāra) et tendances de vies antérieures (vāsanā).

Ce terme associé à vṛtti pour former le vocable cittavṛtti désigne les modifications dans le citta qui sont de cinq sortes selon les Yoga Sūtra. Citta est un concept fondamental de cette philosophie qui entre dans la définition du mot sanskrit « yoga », mais qui n'est pas défini lui-même avec précision dans les Yoga Sūtra.

Advaita Vedānta
Citta peut se confondre avec le terme « Antaḥkaraṇa » qui désigne l'« organe interne » composé de buddhi (intellect), Ahaṃkāra (ego) et manas (mental) dans les écoles du Sāṃkhya et du Vedānta (Plus particulièrement de l'Advaita Vedānta).

Bouddhisme
Dans le bouddhisme, citta désigne ce qu'on appelle habituellement l'esprit au sens le plus large: l'ensemble des fonctions mentales, rationnelles, émotionnelles, conscientes ou inconscientes. Dans certains textes du canon pali, c'est un synonyme de viññāna.

Citta est l'objet de la méditation dans la troisième partie du Satipatthana, aussi nommé le Sutra des quatre établissements de la pleine conscience.

La purification de l'esprit (citta-visuddhi) est une étape de la voie bouddhique, selon le Visuddhimagga. L'Éveil est aussi appelé « libération » du citta (cittavimutti) : le citta est définitivement libéré des kleśa.

Prajñānanda distingue trois modes, ou trois niveaux du citta :
 le subconscient, bhavaṅga srota, pollué chez l'être non-éveillé par les āsrāva (pulsions du désir, du vouloir-vivre, de l'ignorance)  ;
 le conscient, vijñāna, connaissance discriminative qui est une production du manas ;
 le surconscient, prajñā.

how to find deleted rows?
A customer called today reporting that a long-term employee's schedules were missing from our staffing-scheduling system. All application-level checks yielded nothing and I am now left hoping that sqla deletes rows much like windows deletes: data is not really deleted, but just marked as deleted. Is there a way to find/list deleted records in an sqla database?
You could use dbtran on the log and find the inserts / updates for the data you are interested in. Alternatively, you could start up a copy of a recent backup of your database to find the data. You could then export (via UNLOAD or OUTPUT, etc) the data you want.
Yes. Nothing from the original post suggests that they don't have backups. As for the logs, they should also be part of the backups -- even if they get truncated.
Deleted rows are truly deleted and the space is reused, often right away. When a row is removed from a page, adjacent row data is moved on top of the old row to keep the rows contiguous on the page. If you were extremely lucky, a forensics team might be able to find portions of some rows on some pages but that would be extremely time consuming, expensive and not likely to succeed.
Thanks for the feedback John & Volker. I will ask the customer for the last date the data was seen and then ask their IT team to restore a copy of the database from around that date. I will then mount the database, use isql to generate a list of the employee's schedules, save that list to a text file and import the data into production.
Can you temporarily disable the tranaction log when deleting rows?

Writing in the Globe and Mail, Macdonald-Laurier Institute Managing Director Brian Lee Crowley says that Ottawa has gone back into hiding after only a few months ago making big noises about pushing interprovincial trade in Canada.
Only a few months ago, Crowley writes, the federal government was promising to attack the issue head-on. Now? Ottawa is silent on interprovincial trade.
"Sadly the feds seem to concur with the provincial view that this is none of Ottawa's business", Crowley writes.
As we head toward the federal election due in October 2015 the federal government is chalking up impressive progress on trade deals, including free trade with the 500 consumers in the European Union and with South Korea, one of Asia's most dynamic economies. We are at the table negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership with 11 other Pacific nations. Yet free trade between Canadians, an economy-strengthening measure worth as much as $10 billion annually, has yet again slid from the national agenda.
Just a few months ago Industry Minister James Moore was making the most hopeful noises we'd heard in years in this perennially disappointing file. The glimmer of light he saw on the horizon came chiefly from the commitment he sensed from the strongly federalist government that emerged from the last Quebec election. Premier Philippe Couillard wants to prove to Quebeckers that belonging to Canada is in their interests and wants concrete economic gains over the course of his mandate.
But while Minister Moore pointed to the lessening of Quebec's dogged resistance to a pan-Canadian deal as the chief reason for optimism, behind the scenes more was happening. Manitoba's Jobs and Economy Minister Teresa Oswald had emerged as a powerful and effective champion for progress among her provincial colleagues. That in itself was huge: Manitoba has Canada's only NDP provincial government, and the NDP have traditionally been the party most sceptical about the benefits of trade liberalization both foreign and domestic. It is also the only western province not to have signed on to the New West Partnership, a regional free trade bloc. Minister Oswald had the wind in her sails and credibility with her colleagues.
Due to internal Manitoba politics, however, Minister Oswald and four of her colleagues recently resigned from cabinet. Whatever momentum existed within the provinces to move ahead on domestic free trade has evaporated. The planned meeting of provincial ministers responsible scheduled for earlier this month fell by the wayside. A phone call will take its place next week but ominously the stakeholders who are pushing for action have been excluded. Minister Moore has gone radio silent.
For Ottawa simply to go back into hiding on this issue is no help. If anything, the collapse of the alleged historic conjuncture of provincial support for recognising Canadians' rights to carry on their business or trade in every part of Canada proves yet again that the provinces cannot solve this problem and federal leadership is indispensable.
The fact that success or failure might hang by the presence of an individual minister in this or that province proves how shallow the commitment to progress is on the part of the provinces collectively. Since the provinces have created most of the barriers themselves and would pay a political price for eliminating them, their will is weak to begin with. Add to that the fact that the provinces work by consensus and that puts protectionist provinces like Ontario in the driver's seat. All they have to do is say no and nothing happens.
Perhaps it's time we revisited the Canadian way. The federal government is in possession of legal opinions from some of the country's great constitutional minds that it has lots of scope under the constitution to seize the initiative. Moreover that's why we have a federal government in the first place. For years the attitude of the provinces has been that whatever they regard as under their jurisdiction is completely off limits for Ottawa, but whatever is under Ottawa's power must be negotiated with the provinces.
Asserting Ottawa's power to protect Canadians' economic rights goes to the heart of the nation-building we undertook in 1867 but have not yet completed. It's never too late to do the right thing.

Published in the South Kent Gazette, 22 April, 1981.
After the dissolution of the Priory, the King- granted the church end the advowson of it to the Archbishop of Canterbury, therefore the Archbishop is really the Rector of it, and he appoints the vicar. The living was regarded as a Perpetual Curacy, to which Archbishop Cranmer parsimoniously granted a yearly pension of £4, and Archbishop Juxon, after the Restoration, granted a further sum of £12 a year, to be paid out of the great tithes. Since then, the living has been augmented, but it is far from being a rich one now. The fact that part of the living comes out of the great tithes gives it somewhat the character of a Rectory, but for many years it was deemed a vicarage.
"This small church has a nave, north aisle, and chancel with south aisle, a south porch, and a wooden belfry over the west end." These few words indicate two Important differences in the fabric from its present condition. The south aisle was only beside the chancel, and the entrance was by a porch on the south side. A glance at the interior of the building shows that, as regards the south aisle, that must have been so. As the church now stands, the nave has an arcade of six arches on either side. Oil the south side, right up to the pulpit, the arches are all modem, but on the north side there are three old arches which represent the length of the church previous to the enlargement of 1880, while the three corresponding arches on the south side and the aisle south of it must have been added at the restoration of 1851.
Sir Stephen Glynne's statement that one of the old arches was circular does not tally with their present condition, nor does it appear that either of those arches ever was circular or semi-circular. One of the old piers is circular, and probably if the writer had lived to revise the proofs of his notes, he would have so corrected them. On the 8th of May, 1774, the spire of this church was struck by lightning.
There was a very thorough restoration and enlargement of this church in 1851, chiefly promoted by the Vicar, the Rev W. Yorick Smythies; the architect being Mr F. R. Wilson, and the builders Messrs W. and G. Denne, of Walmer. There are but scant details left of the actual work done in that restoration. It seems to have been confined to the nave and aisle. The south aisle was lengthened to match the north as it then existed, which involved the demolition of the old south nave wall and the whole west wall. The porch was removed to the north side and the three eastern arches of the nave on the north side were built, the architect following, but not exactly copying the style of the Early English ones then existing on the other side. The three church bells were rehung in a rather ugly stone structure on the new west wall, a new pulpit was installed and the nave and north aisle were reroofed and walls pointed.
The aim of the restorers was to give more accommodation, to make the nave loftier, to render the church less damp by slightly raising the floor, and to make the seats all free. The actual expenditure on the church in 1851 does not seem to be left on record.
Under another Vicar, the Rev M. Anderson, the chancel was restored and decorated in 1868. Very little structural alteration was made at that time, but the general renovation and decoration of the chancel involved a considerable outlay, in aid of which a grand bazaar was held at the Imperial Hotel (later the Burlington), at which a fashionable set assisted, including Lady North, Mr Ellice, the Misses Fielding, Mrs Churchward, Mrs Anderson, and many others, when more money than was needed for the church was raised, and the balance was given to the National Schools.
A century-old picture of St. Andrew's Church, Buckland, probably the last to be taken before the west end, including the bell turret was taken down in order to double the length of the building'. The picture appears to have been taken after the famous yew tree had been moved about 56 feet westwards, an operation which begun on 24th February and was completed on 5th March, 1880. This involved digging under the tree, inserting baulks of timber and then, using rollers, winching the 50 to 60 ton load forward inch by inch along a trench. The fence' beyond which several distinguished looking people posed for this photograph was probably the one behind which spectators stood to watch the operation. They were admitted to the churchyard at a charge of 2/6d (12ip) the cash being used to help meet the costs.
Work on extending the church began the same year and the picture above was taken by Martin Jacolette soon after the job was completed.

VIDEO: Cop Blows a Fuse, Gets YouTube Famous for Attacking Free Speech
Jack Burns July 27, 2017
Allentown, PA — Pennsylvania cop watchers, with the Oath Accountability Project and RealJGonzo Media, decided to turn the tables on police and do to police what officers of the law do daily to citizens. "Scott" as he is known, got just the reaction he was searching for when he and his friend were practicing their free speech and recording on the public sidewalk outside the Allentown Police Department on the corner of Hamilton and 10th.
Scott approached an officer and politely asked him if he would ticket another fellow officer if he was breaking the law. The contention the cop watchers made was that several of the police officers' personal vehicles were displaying Fraternal Order of Police stickers on their own personal license plates, a clear violation of PA law according to Scott. The officer even noted that stickers placed directly on the license plate of a vehicle are illegal.
After a few questions, and catching an officer drive down the street without his headlights on, Lieutenant Hill approached the duo, and demanded they leave immediately. Rather irate, Hill said he would in no way stand idly by as the two First Amendment activists recorded officers coming and going in their own personal vehicles.
I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm Telling You. Leave now. Leave. Leave. No. You're gonna go up there and wait for your ride. You're not standing here Outside this garage…If you're caught down here again, you're going to be arrested…If he stands outside that garage filming our officers coming and leaving, he Will be arrested. I'm not going to have our officers' personal safety with you filming out here!
While it's understandable that officers would not want criminals to use their license plate information to ascertain the location of their home address, filming on public sidewalks is constitutionally protected free speech and Lt. Hill had no legal basis for his threats.
After Lt. Hill separated the two cop watchers, Scott was confronted by two more officers who refused to identify themselves. The two attempted to intimidate Scott, apparently, but his calm demeanor was enough to disarm the two and engage them in casual conversation, all the while Lt. Hill can be heard berating the other cop watcher.
Scott took control of the situation and quickly told the officers he's aware that it is common practice for Allentown police officers to use license plate scanners to instantly gain all the personal data of anyone whose license plate is recorded by one of the scanners. Scott fired back:
I understand what you guys want but you guys ride around all day with your license plate readers on top of your cars taking pictures of everybody's personal cars, so I don't see the difference.
Scott tried to get an apology for being accosted by Lt. Hill for "charging" the cop watchers while they were exercising their rights to film in public. He did, in fact, get an apology from one of the officers who simply asked in return for the cop watchers not to film them coming and going in their personal vehicles.
The stickers on the license plate is definitely illegal…it's a special privilege thing. I don't agree with it.
Scott said the practice of allowing officers to place stickers on their license plates is a "clear sign" that officers grant each other special privileges that the general public cannot enjoy, violations for which they would be pulled over, detained, and ticketed.
Below is an example of how not to engage citizens if you are a police officer who swore an oath to the Constitution. Instead of coming out and blowing his fuse off the bat, Lt. Hill could've found common ground with the cop watchers and asked them to perhaps blur the plates, or, out of courtesy, not show the officers' faces.
However, as the video below shows, Lt. Hill was the opposite of cordial, thus deserving his new title of YouTube Famous.

New Laws Affecting Contractors in 2022
By Felipe Fuentes, AGC Legislative Advocate and Dustin Steiner, Vice President Government & Industry Relations - Published in Monday Morning Quarterback - January 10, 2022
The new year always brings with it new laws. The following are bills passed by the legislature in 2021, signed into law by the Governor, and enacted in 2022.
AB 332 (Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials) Hazardous waste: treated wood waste: management standards.
This measure gives the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) until July 1, 2028, to present a plan to the Legislature for the future disposal of Treated Wood Waste (TWW). This extension was necessary for the construction industry as the State was unprepared to limit disposal of TWW to hazardous waste only facilities as was intended after December 31, 2020. As such, TWW will again be accepted in previously approved waste facilities.
AB 830 (Flora) Business: Department of Consumer Affairs: licensed professions and vocations.
This measure will clarify that a Responsible Managing Employee on a contractor license can accomplish the requirement to supervise and control on construction projects either directly or indirectly by supervising a designated employee. This measure was introduced in response to issues raised in the McCosker vs. CA Department of Water Resources.
AB 1023 (Flora) Contractors and subcontractors: records: penalties.
This bill will require that a contractor or subcontractor furnish specified payroll records at least once every 30 days while work is being performed on the project and within 30 days after the final day of work performed on the project. These records will now be required to be submitted in an electronic format. Contractors, or subcontractors, who fail to furnish those records relating to its employees in the manner specified will be liable for a penalty of $100 per day, not to exceed $5,000 per project.
SB 607 (Min) Business and professions.
This bill revises the Contractors State License Board's (CSLB) authority to set fees by regulation and would increase various fee amounts. In connection with initial license fees and renewal fees for active and inactive licenses, the bill would differentiate between an individual owner as opposed to a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or joint venture, and would authorize higher fees for the latter categories of licensees. Additionally, the bill requires that a contractor's bond now be $25,000 instead of $15,000 beginning in 2023.
SB 727 (Leyva) Labor-related liabilities: direct contractor.
This law expands current liability that requires direct contractor to make the employees of their subcontractor whole for nonpayment of wages and fringe benefits to also include penalties and liquidated damages.
The construction industry was able to get safe harbor language inserted that exempts the direct contractor's liability from penalties & liquidated damages if the direct contractor: 1) monitors payment of subcontractor wages by periodic review of payroll records, 2) Upon becoming aware of a failure to pay wages, the contractor must take corrective action, including withholding payments from the subcontractor, and 3) Prior to making final payment to the subcontractor, the direct contractor must obtain an affidavit from the subcontractor affirming that all workers have been properly paid.
SB 606 (Gonzalez) Workplace safety: violations of statutes: enterprise-wide violations: egregious violations.
This bill creates two new Cal OSHA violations: the enterprise-wide violation and the egregious violations.
This bill creates a rebuttable presumption that a violation committed by an employer with multiple worksites has committed an enterprise-wide violation if:
1) the employer's written policy or procedure violates Cal OSHA regulations; or
2) Cal OSHA has evidence of a pattern or practice of the same violation committed by the employer at one or more of its worksites. If the employer is unable to rebut the presumption, Cal OSHA may issue an enterprise-wide citation requiring enterprise-wide abatement, which includes penalties up to a maximum of $124,709 per violation.
The bill also creates a new "egregious violation" category which means a willful violation that meets one of seven specified conditions outlined in the bill. If an egregious violation exists, it can be multiplied by the number of employees exposed to such violation.
The construction industry was able to have language added to limit the number of additional exposed employees from being included on a prequalification questionnaire. Language was added in the enterprise-wide violation section to ensure that the employer being held responsible was the actual employer. So, the General Contractor will not be held responsible for a violation by a subcontractor.
