Close on the heels of "Engaging with India" conference in Sydney on May 16 and 17, the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) released a report that stresses Australian economic growth focus will be on two big Asian nations, India and China as both are the fastest growing economies and one in six of the population living and working in Australia are of Asian origin.
With Asian nations rising as the super-economies of the century ahead, the report, Australia's Diaspora Advantage: Realising the potential for building transnational business networks with Asia, charts the path to stronger engagement for higher returns.
At the last Census, Australia's Chinese and Indian Diasporas owned over 45,000 businesses. In the last five years, the number of Chinese-born business owners grew by 40 per cent while Indian-born business owners by 72 per cent. Recent surveys also show, however, that whilst 9.4 per cent of Australian workers are Asian-born, only 4.9 per cent advance into senior management roles.
"Asian communities are driving enterprise and innovation in Australia; using their language skills, cultural knowledge and global networks to connect us to the engines of the modern world," Prof. John Fitzgerald of ACOLA said.
Professor Fazal Rizvi, Co-Chair of the project's Expert Working Group, said for Australia to realize its Diaspora advantage, it needs to develop a comprehensive, bi-partisan national approach that builds on successes to date, and the entrepreneurial energies that Asian Australian business communities clearly have.
"We suggest involving the Asian business communities in economic and trade policy development, and connecting business Diasporas with research collaborations for innovation and commercialising ideas. The potential role of the Asian business Diasporas in Australia's innovation agenda cannot be stressed enough" he said.

Look: J.J. Watt Reacts To His Brother's Epic Performance
PITTSBURGH, PA - SEPTEMBER 27: T.J. Watt #90 of the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrates after a sack during the fourth quarter at Heinz Field on September 27, 2020 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)
J.J. Watt is all-in on his brother T.J. to win the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award.
Watt put out a tweet on Sunday evening hyping up his brother for having another monster performance for the Steelers.
Missed 2.5 games this year and STILL leading the league in sacks by 2 whole sacks.
Talk to 'em @_TJWatt!!!!! #DPOY
— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) December 6, 2021
As Watt says, his brother has missed nearly three games this season and still leads the league in sacks over Myles Garrett.
Watt was again unblockable against the Ravens on Sunday as he was pressuring Lamar Jackson almost every play. He finished with six total tackles (five solo) along with 3.5 sacks.
He almost ended the game before Baltimore scored a touchdown as he stripped the ball from Jackson before it rolled out of bounds.
It was also a miracle that Watt was able to play against Baltimore. He was placed on the COVID list last Monday and didn't practice all week.
He was then activated on Saturday after testing negative two days in a row.
Watt now has 47 total tackles (35 solo) along with 16 sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and four passes defended. If he stays healthy for the last five games, the case for him to win the DPOY award will only grow stronger.
He'll have a chance to build off that performance this Thursday against the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET.

NCL statement on announced resignation of CFPB Director Richard Cordray
Posted by NCL Communications - November, 2017
Contact: Cindy Hoang (202) 207-2832, cindyh@nclnet.org
Washington, DC—Director Richard Cordray of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) announced his intention to resign by the end of the month. The following statement is attributable to NCL Executive Director Sally Greenberg:
"Since 2012, Director Richard Cordray has served as the head of one of the most important consumer protection organizations in our country's history. Under his leadership, the CFPB returned more than $12 billion dollars to more than 29 million consumers affected by illegal business practices. Thanks to director Cordray, the CFPB has reined in abuses by predatory debt collectors and payday lenders, put the brakes on deceptive student loan servicers, and worked to end the spread of outrageous forced arbitration clauses.
In honor of his outstanding work, NCL recognized Director Cordray at our annual awards dinner October 25 with a Trumpeter Award for his service to consumers and the American public. From the beginning of his tenure, Director Cordray has been the epitome of an honest, transparent and hardworking civil servant. He oversaw a staff of nearly two thousand public servants, all dedicated to ensuring that consumers were given a level playing field with the financial services industry and protected from serial abusers of the public trust such as Wells Fargo.
This announcement is a sad day for consumers, especially given the hostility shown by the majority in both houses of Congress and the Trump Administration to the Bureau's mission of protecting consumers from predatory practices.
President Trump now has the right to nominate a new director. NCL will remain vigilant to ensure that the President nominates another champion of consumers and the middle class, not a champion of Wall Street and big banks. The CFPB's has made great progress in protecting consumers, but there is still much work left to be done. Rest assured, NCL will continue fighting on the front lines to ensure that the next director is up to the task."

Attendance record broken at World Women's Curling Championship in North Bay
'They're very happy with everything we've done. Over the last three days we've had informal discussions with them (World Curling Federation) and they're suggesting they would like us to host another event' Rick Miller Co-chair of the local organizing committee
Mar 25, 2018 10:30 AM by: Linda Holmes
1 / 1 World Women's Curling Champion breaks record in North Bay
A new attendance record was set as of Friday night for the World Women's Curling Championship being held in North Bay.
"The new record is 70,000 and climbing," said Mark Brown, co-chair of the local organizing committee.
"The attendance record that we set was for the highest attendance at any World Women's Curling Championship held in Canada. That is a full event total."
The event is already being hailed a success. So much so, local co-chair Rick Miller says there has been some conversation with the World Curling Federation to host more curling events in North Bay.
"They're very happy with everything we've done. Over the last three days we've had informal discussions with them. They're asking us, we're not asking them at this point, but they are suggesting they would like us to host another event. They have suggested another World's but that's probably very difficult because of the time of year, but they've also suggested other Canadian events."
On the financial front, Miller says the committee has exceeded all its budgetary goals.
"Everything is paid for. Everybody's going to make some money on it. That's always the goal," said Miller.
"Curling Canada runs the event, we're just the hosts. We get 10% of all the ticket sales, we get the 50/50, and some other minor revenue streams, and Curling Canada rents the facilities from us, and they get the rest of the profits, and they take all the risks."
Brown says the numbers are a reflection of the commitment made by the people of North Bay.
"The community is embracing this event. It has taken over the whole city and everybody is buying into it. The World Curling Federation was hesitant at first. They didn't really want to come to North Bay initially, because they thought it was too small. And now they realize the smaller communities embrace the event and will come out and support it," said Brown.
"Curling Canada is thrilled as well. They knew that we would do well in our community because we've held the National Mixed twice here, so they were familiar with our facilities, and when they came and saw the renovations to the Gardens, they knew we had the right facilities and they believe in the smaller communities hosting these events."

Kickin' It Old School – Super Ghouls and Ghosts
Charlie Marsh | January 26, 2009 | Archive, Columns | 2 Comments
Warning: A non-numeric value encountered in /nfs/c12/h02/mnt/222827/domains/diehardgamefan.com/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 64
There were games way back when that were just plain tough. You could play them for hours and barely get into the game. You could lose life after life, credit after credit, and yet, you can't put the controller down. Because even though you're getting chewed up and spit out by this game, you're still having fun. After playing it enough though, you can get through it without much pain. Take Mega Man for instance. The difficulty is high, but you can get through it. And a game like Contra may seem tough at first, but the 30 lives code can take care of that.
Then, there are games so tough, so unforgiving, so cruelly evil that you just want to throw your controller through your TV. Let's take a look at one such game; a game that just had to have come from the Devil himself…
Super Ghouls "Ëœn Ghosts
Talk about a game that doesn't fuck around. The Ghosts "Ëœn Goblins series is legendary for its difficulty, and the SNES sequel is no exception. You take control of Arthur, the protagonist of the series who fights to the death (over and over and over and over again), even when stripped to his underwear, as he strives to rescue his girlfriend, the perplexingly named Princess PrinPrin, who has been kidnapped by the evil demon Sardius. Along the way, he is attacked by all manner of, well…ghouls "Ëœn ghosts. You are to hack and slash your way through 8 levels, some of which have multiple stages.
Not such a daunting task on paper, is it? Hell, Super Mario Bros. has 8 levels, with 4 stages each, surely a game with less can't be too bad. The problem here is twofold: number one, you are constantly bombarded by enemies, who can kill you in two hits, one to strip you of your armor and the other to turn you into a pile of bones. There are armor upgrades you can get, but that only slightly helps. Sure, Capcom had the decency to give you the option of multiple lives and continues, but that doesn't change the fact that it is just too damn hard to not die in this game.
Number two (tee hee…), the controls could be a bit better. They're okay, but jumping is a problem in some places. You either jump straight up or in an arc in either direction. You can't change direction in the air unless you do a double-jump, and after that you can't change direction at all. So if you're in the air about to land on a zombie, you're screwed. Then there's the slowdown if there's too much action on screen, but I don't really count slowdown as part of a game's difficulty, so I can look past it.
But don't get me wrong; I actually like the game. Despite the horrific difficulty and patience and time needed to complete just one level, it's pretty fun. There are a variety of enemies to fight and weapons to use, although some are more useful than others. I can't really pinpoint what I like about the game; it just has a certain charm to it. The image of a knight stripped of his armor and continuing to fight in his underwear to save his beloved is not only pretty funny, but inspiringly badass.
Badass as the Arthur is, the downright evil difficulty of the game has probably caused many gamers to abandon the game and the rest of the series. I can't really say I blame those who did; despite liking the game, I was kind of one of them. I beat the game once, since I have no life and was able to devote an entire day to playing it through sheer determination and strength. But once I beat what I thought was the final boss, the Princess says that Sardius cannot be defeated without a magical Goddess Bracelet, so you must go back to the beginning of the game and beat it again with the Bracelet this time. Why am I just hearing about this now?
I hate it when games do this. I take a beating throughout the whole game, and it's "Your princess is in another castle" and Super Bases Loaded all over again. So you're sent back to the beginning, with the difficulty increased, which I didn't think was possible, to beat it again. I don't care how much I like the game, I already beat it, that should be enough. So you know what? No. Fuck you, game. I'll go play something that's easier and more rewarding in the end. Like a game I like to call, "Running into a Brick Wall".

This sounds familiar. Face the fact, many of us early SNES adopters ended up with a copy of this game. I gave up after about two weeks, but 3 years later came back and well.. see above =) …could not have been said any better.
Genjuro666	 January 30, 2009 Reply
Another game to play all day on a rainy Summer day. Oh yes, Charlie is right this thing takes all day to beat. Once I went through the mandatory replay, was in the last castle stage before the final boss and I decided to get smart and changed the "Goddess Mirror" (range sucked) weapon for knifes to make the boss battle easier (a huge green doubleheaded monster). Well, my smarts backfired , because I did not have the proper weapon, and the bitch princess sent me ALL THE WAY TO THE START OF THE GAME AGAIN. I always thought of Ghouls and Ghost as the better game, at least it lets you shoot in 4 directions.

Axie Infinity has announced the long-awaited Season 2 of its game. According to the gaming company, the season which has a lot of updates will last for only 42 days.
One of the new features of the game is Eras, which is described as a leaderboard system where players will be rewarded for the entire system with 112,000 AXS.
Amongst the Eras are the Rare Era, from Day 0 to Day 7 and with a reward of 11,200 AXS; the Epic Era, from Day 7 to Day 21 and with a reward of 33,600 AXS; the Mystic Era, from Day 21 to Day 28 and a reward of 16,800 AXS; and the Final Era, from Day 28 to Day 42, and reward of 50,400 AXS.
Other changes taken into effect by the team from various community feedbacks include new card effects and game mechanics; changes to level-ups and rewards where players can craft level-ups faster than in Season 1; launch of the Bugapalooza Contest where players will earn by participating in missions targeted at bug; daily login bonus for using the game daily; and a grandiose reward of Avatars for the top 40,000 players at the end of Season 2.
Crypto gaming winter
The crypto market in 2022 ended in a bearish manner due to several events such as the collapse of several projects and companies such as Luna of Terra blockchain, Three Arrows Capital, Voyager Digital, Celsius, BlockFi and FTX.
For Axie Infinity, the hack of its Ronin Bridge that cost $610 million affected the project. Although blockchain games contributed more to the global crypto activities, the value of Axie and other game tokens fell. Axie went down to $10 after 12 months from February 2022.
The Season 2 game release seems to be a step taken by the team to reassure the community of its commitment to keep building. And beyond Season 2 are plans for Season 3 and more. Will this help boost the crypto gaming industry?

The Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator Announces CEO
Following its recent launch, the Caribbean Accelerator names Racquel Moses as CEO to support Caribbean leaders to deliver their vision of a climate-smart zone.
Racquel Moses, CEO, brings to the Accelerator 20 years of business management experience across the Caribbean region, most recently at Microsoft.
Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago— Jan 10 — Today the Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator announced Racquel Moses as Chief Executive Officer.
The Accelerator is an entrepreneurial engine that catalyzes priority initiatives toward a climate-smart zone, delivering resilience, social development and broad-based economic growth for the Caribbean.
Moses will lead the Accelerator as it delivers this strategy, bringing with her nearly two decades of business management experience in the Caribbean region, most recently at Microsoft.
Moses will work with key stakeholders in governments and the public and private sectors to co-develop and agree on Accelerator strategies to drive investment projects across the Caribbean at scale. She will be based in Port of Spain, Trinidad and started her role as CEO on January 9, 2019.
This appointment signals the ramping up of the Accelerator's resiliency work to confront challenges brought on by climate change and more intense storms. The announcement follows the official launch of the Accelerator on August 9, where Prime Minister of Jamaica, The Most Honorable Andrew Holness, Sir Richard Branson, Usain Bolt, and many other Caribbean leaders fired a starting pistol in the battle against climate change.
Before coming to fill the role of the Accelerator's CEO, Moses was country manager and regional public-sector director for Microsoft in Port of Spain, Trinidad, where she engaged with regional ministers and developed a digital transformation strategy for CARICOM countries. Previously, she served as president of InvestTT, Trinidad and Tobago's national investment promotion agency, where she implemented innovative methodologies resulting in multimillion dollars' worth of growth in investments and exponential job growth from the agency. She led the agency to award-winning performance and was recognized by UNCTAD for excellence in investment promotion in sustainable development. She later served as regional head for ACCA, the largest global professional organization for accountants, where she worked to increase member satisfaction and metrics in determining strategies and measuring progress. She holds a master's degree in management of information technology from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, and is an avid marathon runner.
"The Caribbean has always been a beacon of beauty, strength and accomplishment. I am humbled to be working with the region's public and private sectors to usher in an age of climate-smart implementation. Despite the most recent egregious impacts of climate change on our region I am more hopeful than ever before that our time is now to shine a light on its impact and proactively become better, stronger and more resilient together," Moses reported.
Meeting global challenges together
There's no shortage of challenges for the Caribbean to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The hire of Moses is a positive step forward not only for the Accelerator's coalition of 27 countries but for the entire Caribbean community that will become a beacon for other nations to follow.
The Accelerator's partners, such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), are also welcoming news of the appointment. Commenting on the announcement, IDB Regional Operations Advisor Musheer Kamau noted,
"The Accelerator represents the eager ambition of all Caribbean people to face the threat of climate change head on. Now, as CEO, Racquel Moses brings her training, experience, and passion to this vision for a new climate smart Caribbean. We are confident that under her stewardship the vision will become reality."
Moses and the Accelerator's board of advisors will usher the Accelerator into the next phase of growth. This includes setting financial targets and working with public and private sector partners to develop and identify investment opportunities and projects that will form the pipeline.
The Caribbean Climate-Smart Accelerator is a Caribbean-led coalition established to drive resiliency in the region. It was formed by Caribbean leaders in response to the 2017 hurricane season, which decimated large parts of the region. Through private and public partnerships, the organization is building more resilient countries, cities and industries, and stronger infrastructure that can withstand the effects of climate-disaster.

Within BYOND #116
Higoten
Hello Readers! Look at that, Within BYOND is back to its normal release schedule (The 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of each month) again. On time (barely!) and all. It will be short-lived, however, as I'll be away for the second week of July, so do expect additional schedule deviations in the nearby future. Anyhow, let's check out what timely releases have been talked about around BYOND!
Lummox JR was pulled in a dozen different directions these last two weeks, as he juggles between new features and old bugs. Common functions and seven visual contents flags were added to the DM language, allowing for greater control over how icons inherit from their source. Bread-crumb location paths are being scattered throughout the DM reference, and a far-ranging handful of bugs, some new and some old, have been resolved (and look here for a read up on the dreaded map editor fix).
BYOND Games
S10Games has been working on the user interface experience in Universe 21 these past few weeks. Several screens stemming from the main character information menu are seeing improved screen real-estate usage, along with a new coat of paint (Does anyone else have a dislike for white text on a black surface?). The character loading page is getting a tune-up as well, allowing for characters to be swapped without a relog.
Flick is back to working with hexagons! This time he's generating random terrains - with seas, rivers, mountains, biomes, towns, and roadways. The creation is displayed with full progression and takes less than a week.
Gold94 continues to show-off his project over in On Topic, this week hacking down trees and then gathering them into his on-screen inventory. Trash disappears forever once it has been dropped (Concept does not apply to real-life.) and gifts can be made via drag and drop over the victim recipient.
Travylleb's The School District seems to have an extreme zero-tolerance no-bulling policy, as captured in his latest screen share.
Techgamer has been working on a dungeon generator in his spare time. Generated layouts have been shared and it would appear that entrances and exits are picked and paths are intertwined. Next on the list is to produce traversable paths, display a minimap, and handle special events.
BYOND Resources
Looking at the example I think gnats may use the same targeting method Tafe is using in his new Collision Based AI Trigger library!
Shhh... If we're really quiet, we won't trigger Tafe's Sound Based AI Trigger library! Oops...
Bob Cool
It seems the most recent byond update has caused massive lag spikes/disconnections in most online games (on the hub). Most of all the game space station 13.
Please fix this, it basically does a huge spike of lag (which has to do with connections between byond and the server/game I think) making it very hard to play.
In response to Bob Cool
There's no evidence I've seen of such a thing, nor does it make sense with 1471's changes. I suspect whatever you're seeing is unrelated.
I can't join the games for some reason and I have no clue how to fix it I have tried reseting and shuuting down my pc even relogging in and out from my pc but still dosen't work
In response to The spire
The spire wrote:
Typically when I can't join games, I get a message from BYOND that says my "key is corrupt." When this happens, I select "Exit" from the menu (or press Ctrl+Q) to close BYOND, and then I start BYOND up again, and I'm then able to join games.

Q: ASP.Net MVC Routing problem with jQuery AJAX My page is domain.com/home/details/1
In my jQuery AJAX call I have the following however when it makes that call its making a call to domain.com/home/details/home/getdata
What can I do to get it to resolve properly?
$(document).ready(function () {

            oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
                "bServerSide": true,
                "sAjaxSource": "Home/GetData/",
                "bProcessing": true,
                "bPaginate": true,
                "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
                "bFilter": true,
                "bAutoWidth": false,
                "fnServerData": function (sSource, aoData, fnCallback) {
                    /* Add some extra data to the sender */
                    //aoData.push({ "filtervalue": $('#filtervalue').val(), "Options": $('#Options').val() });
                    $.getJSON(sSource, aoData.concat($('form').serializeArray()), function (json) {
                        /* Do whatever additional processing you want on the callback, then tell DataTables */
                        fnCallback(json)
                    });
                }
            });

        });

A: Absolutely always use URL helpers when dealing with urls in ASP.NET MVC. Absolutely never hardcode urls as you did.
So:
"sAjaxSource": "@Url.Action("GetData", "Home")"

and if this is in a separate javascript file, you could use HTML5 data-* attributes on the #example:
<div id="example" data-url="@Url.Action("GetData", "Home")">
    ...
</div>

and then in your separate js you could use the .data() method:
"sAjaxSource": $('#example').data('url')

A: Did you try puting a leading slash before the Ajax Source?
"sAjaxSource": "/Home/GetData/"

UPDATE
As stated in the comments below, hardcoding the URL could cause problems later down the line.
Darin has already posted about using the built in URL helpers so I wont edit my post to include that info. I do it a slightly different way as documented here:
Create Extension methods of UrlHelper to generate your url from Route
I've found this way of working to be extremely helpful when working with a front end team. They found it really easy to understand the Url.RequestedPage() format and it meant they didn't need my help everytime they wanted to link or request something.

A: I think your path should be
"sAjaxSource": "/home/details/home/getdata",

and shouldn't getdata be a filename like getdata.php or something

Thomas Demand studied with the sculptor Fritz Schwegler, who encouraged him to explore the expressive possibilities of architectural models at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where Bernd and Hilla Becher had recently taught photographers such as Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, and Candida Höfer. Like those artists, Demand makes mural-scale photographs, but instead of finding his subject matter in landscapes, buildings, and crowds, he uses paper and cardboard to reconstruct scenes he finds in images taken from various media sources. Once he has photographed his re-created environments—always devoid of figures but often displaying evidence of recent human activity—Demand destroys his models, further complicating the relationship between reproduction and original that his photography investigates.
Demand (born 1964) has been the subject of one-person exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, and he represented Germany at the Bienal de São Paulo. Demand lives and works in Berlin and Los Angeles.

Big Read: 'I can't breathe' is the rallying cry as US streets are ablaze with fury

Watts 1965, Detroit 1967, LA 1992, Ferguson 2014 and now Minneapolis 2020. America has been here before - its treatment of black people an open wound running through a fractured society before exploding periodically into violent confrontation.
This time it is the killing of George Floyd that has set this country ablaze once again - another name to be chanted on the streets by a people "sick and tired of being sick and tired".
That name now resonates across America, and Floyd's last words as he lay gasping for air - a policeman's knee choking the life out of him - have become a rallying cry. From Minneapolis across to Los Angeles, New York and the nation's capital, Washington, they chant "I can't breathe".
• George Floyd death: Hundreds take to streets of Los Angeles to protest, footage shows
• George Floyd death: Reporter's terror live on-air covering protests: 'I'm getting shot – they're aiming at us'
• George Floyd protests: President Donald Trump claims protesters outside White House risked facing 'vicious dogs'
• US cities fear protests may fuel new wave of virus outbreaks
The corner store where Floyd's life ended is something of a community hub in Minneapolis' Southside neighbourhood, part convenience store, part cheque cashing business, with apartments above, and even a mosque in the basement below.
But from the moment Floyd, 46, was filmed outside the shop gasping as he told police officers "I can't breathe" on Monday night, the Cup Foods storefront has become a makeshift memorial to him.
Hundreds of people have gathered at the site each night since the footage of Floyd's arrest circulated online on Tuesday, showing a white officer, Derek Chauvin, holding his knee into the neck of Floyd, an African-American father-of-two and nightclub security guard, until he became motionless. Floyd's offence? Allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill in a local store.
Chauvin has been dismissed and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter. The three other officers involved have been fired and may also face charges, prosecutors said. But this has done little to quell the public outcry over Floyd's death - just the latest in the roll call of hundreds of usually unarmed black men, women and children who die at the hands of those who pledge to protect and to serve.
Floyd's death, and his last desperate words, have resurrected the memory of Eric Garner, another black man, who also told police "I can't breathe" as he was placed in a fatal chokehold on New York's Staten Island, on July 17, 2014.
That death also prompted outrage. But it didn't stop black people dying.

Indeed, Floyd's death comes just weeks after the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a black jogger in Georgia, at the hands of two white men, was captured on camera, and a couple of months after Breonna Taylor, an emergency medical technician, was shot and killed by police officers who raided her Kentucky apartment.
The latest deaths have led to a resurgence in the Black Lives Matter movement, founded in 2013, initially as a social media hashtag before becoming a protest movement, after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin the previous year. The slogan was seen on placards across the US as demonstrators took to the streets to express their fury at Floyd's death.

Compounding the sense of rage on the streets is that this injustice comes in the middle of a pandemic that has claimed a disproportionate number of black and ethnic minority lives, in part because of the deep structural inequalities of American society.
On Friday night, hundreds of people, black and white, young and old, returned to the site of Floyd's arrest outside Cup Foods in the Southside neighbourhood of Minneapolis.
Dozens of flowers lie below a picture of Floyd, surrounded by signs reading "rest in power", "stop killing black people" and "I can't breathe".
Local artists played music, others sold hot dogs or gave out free water bottles.
For the past few days, the largely peaceful protests have given way to violence and looting as night falls.
Minneapolis has awoken to a skyline filled with smoke as several buildings - including a police station - have been destroyed by fire and dozens of businesses ransacked by looters.
In a desperate bid to bring the city under control, officials imposed an 8pm curfew on Friday night and deployed more than 350 National Guard troops and police officers. It did little to rein in the protesters, who once more targeted a police station.
Minnesota's governor, Tim Walz, has now been forced to mobilise the state's entire National Guard to restore order - a first in the state's history.
Donald Trump has also threatened action, saying "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" in an incendiary tweet that echoed the words of a Miami police chief in 1967 when he dispatched officers to quash black protesters.
The US president has sought to make the crisis a political issue, publicly criticising Minneapolis's Democratic mayor, Jacob Frey, for failing to curb the violence.
Trump's likely opponent in November's presidential election, Joe Biden, struck a different note as he revealed he had spoken with Floyd's family. "We need justice for George Floyd," he said. "We need real police reform, police reform which holds bad cops to account."
In words that may well hang heavy over this year's presidential election Biden added in a video address: "We're a country with an open wound. None of us any longer can hear the words 'I can't breathe' and do nothing."
Many black leaders have decried the destruction of their own communities by the rioters, with activists like the rapper Killer Mike warning it is they who will suffer when stores and businesses burn.
But in one telling intervention even Atlanta's white police chief, Erika Shields - who talked with demonstrators outside her headquarters - said people were "understandably upset" and that the country faces a "recurring narrative" of black men being killed.
The scenes on the streets of Minneapolis and other American cities these past few days may be familiar, but what happens from now on is harder to predict. Unfortunately all we can be sure of is, without deep and lasting change, George Floyd's name will not be the last to be chanted on burning streets.

On the Bus: Sunday morning, our luxury coach travels from downtown Toronto, making stops at the designated pick-up locations. Please put your skis/snowshoes/poles in the cargo hold. If your day pack doesn't need to be accessed during the bus ride up, you can leave it in the hold as well. The bus can get very crowded with limited space for extra gear and clothing with overhead bins full.
On our way up to the trail system, our organizers will hand out the group lists to the group leaders based on the participants' abilities to form a compatible and evenly matched group. Sometimes changes to the groups are made on the bus due to additions, no-shows, or someone feeling under the weather. The end result of the groupings is that the group participants will be travelling at the same speed. Ski groups are usually 6-8 people. Snowshoe groups typically are between 6-10.
The group leaders will talk with each other to find out where the groups will be travelling so that they'll know if they will have broken trail. The group leaders then talk with each member of their group to review the plan for the day, and which stop they will be getting off the bus as there could be a number of drop-off points along the roadway. The organizers announce the plan to the bus, including where the groups will be picked up at the end of the day.
About a half hour before we arrive in the general vicinity of our Five Winds area, there is a flurry of activity as people put on their boots, change into their outdoor clothing, repack their backpacks, line-up for the washroom, so when their stop is called, they are ready to quickly get off the bus, grab their ski or snowshoe equipment from the cargo hold, and head off with their group to start their backcountry adventure. The bus continues its journey to drop off the rest of the groups.
We'll travel with map and compass through marshes, forests, ridges, trails, wherever the group decides to explore. For some groups, the ski trails are just a guideline. Snowshoe groups travel off trail. There are no chalets or warming huts.
Lunch is in the great outdoors, so out comes the extra clothing while we enjoy the serene scenery around us. The snowshoe groups will sometimes have a small bonfire, so bring your hot dogs/sausages/buns/condiments if you wish to roast them on the fire.
After lunch, it's time to make our way back to our pick-up location. By the afternoon, we usually have organized that we will have broken trail from another group's morning route to make our travels easier back to the bus. We may even see another group or two crossing our paths.
Back on the Bus: Once we reach our pick-up location, we load our gear back into the cargo hold and climb back onto the bus where we've left a change of dry clothes, and extra food and drink for the ride home. Changing into dry clothes feels much better. The organizers will check with everyone to see how their day went; whether they need to go in a slower or faster group the next time out. Maybe a snooze for some, but the bus is usually quite chatty with people comparing their routes, talking with new members or catching up with each other, and a treat or two usually making the rounds up and down the bus. Try to keep your gear organized so when you arrive at your stop you can easily find and collect all your gear on the bus usually in the dark.
Snowshoe Note: Snowshoeing is a relatively new activity for the Club, and we are for the most part pulling our ski leaders to help out with the snowshoe groups until we have dedicated snowshoe leaders. There will be at least one small group snowshoe group each week, so space is limited unless another leader can be found. So book early for a spot in the snowshoe group If you want to become a Five Winds leader please make contact with the bus coordinator or any club executive member before the outing.

Ex-AG Gonzales: Trump has a right to question judge's fairness
Posted on Saturday, June 4, 2016 by CNN in Election
The first Latino attorney general in U.S. history believes Donald Trump has a right to question whether a judge with Hispanic background who is presiding over a Trump University lawsuit is able to adjudicate the case unbiasedly.
Trump in recent days has escalated his attacks against U.S. District Court Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who last week ordered parts of internal documents, including "playbooks" regarding running the enterprise, to be released as part of a lawsuit against Trump University. The documents were released in response to a request by The Washington Post.
Alberto Gonzales, who led the Justice Department under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007, wrote in a Washington Post op-ed Saturday that Curiel's Mexican heritage shouldn't be enough to disqualify him from overseeing the case.
But, Gonzales said, Trump is entitled to a fair trial, and the appearance of impropriety could be enough for him to reasonably request that Curiel recuse himself. He cited Curiel's membership in the La Raza Lawyers Association's San Diego chapter — although the lawyers group is unaffiliated with the National Council of La Raza, an advocacy group that has opposed Trump, the billionaire "may be concerned that the lawyers' association or its members represent or support the other advocacy organization."
"These circumstances, while not necessarily conclusive, at least raise a legitimate question to be considered," Gonzales wrote. "Regardless of the way Trump has gone about raising his concerns over whether he's getting a fair trial, none of us should dismiss those concerns out of hand without carefully examining how a defendant in his position might perceive them — and we certainly should not dismiss them for partisan political reasons."
Saturday afternoon, Trump replied to Gonzales' op-ed.
"Thank you Attorney General Gonzales," Trump tweeted, "so many people feel this way."
Trump this week alleged that Curiel might have an "inherent conflict of interest" because of his background as Trump calls for tougher immigration policies and new trade agreements with Mexico. The billionaire has attracted criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday calling the remarks "out of left field" and Hillary Clinton on Saturday saying his comments are "a prejudiced, bigoted attack."
Trump has vociferously denied that his criticism is motivated by racism.
"If he was giving me a fair ruling, I wouldn't say that," Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper on Friday, pointing again to Curiel's background. "I think that's why he's doing it."

10 Crazy New Species Discovered in 2015: Dracula Ants, Shape-Shifting Frogs, and Dwarf Dragons
January 1, 2016 January 1, 2016 risahopeants, frogs, Hog-Nosed Rat, microbes, new species, nudibranchs, peacock spider, science, strange science, taxonomy, UnderwaterLeave a comment
I live in San Francisco and the California Academy of Sciences is one of my favorite places to visit! Who doesn't love penguins, rainforests, albino alligators, and a rad planetarium all under one roof??
In 2015, researchers at the Academy added 102 new plant and animal species to our family tree. The new species include two frogs, 23 ants, three beetles, eight wasps, 11 spiders, 26 fishes, nine sea slugs, two corals, nine plants, one water bear, and eight new viruses.
Given that we have found less than 10% of the species on our planet, the Academy has inspired me to share ten of my favorite wild new species discovered in 2015. Meet the hog-nosed shrew rat, sparklemuffin spider, and water bear. Happy New Year! 🎉
Behold sparklemuffin (Maratus jactatus), a peacock spider found in Australia.
Enyalioides sophiarothschildae, one of the three new species of dwarf dragons discovered in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador.
"Water bear" is a cuddly name for a microscopic water-dwelling organism with eight legs topped by tiny claws.
Shape-shifting frog. This species, found in Ecuador, can change the texture of its skin in a matter of minutes.
Like other horseshoe bats, this newfound animal has a large structure on its face that is shaped somewhat like a (surprise!) horseshoe.
The hog-nosed rat (Hyorhinomys stuempkei) was found on a mountain in Sulawesi, an island in Indonesia.
A face only a mother could love. A close-up view of the electric ray Tetronarce cowleyi, which feeds on bony fish and small sharks.
This marine pill bug (Exosphaeroma pentcheffi), found in a seaside park in Los Angeles, is just one of many species discovered in 2015.
Researchers from the Academy described six new species of strange subterranean ants from the genus Prionopelta in Madagascar and Seychelles – known as 'Dracula' ants.
Another newly discovered species of nudibranch, or sea slug: the pink-and-orange Doto splendidisim.
Top 10 Crazy New Species Found in 2014: A Cartwheeling Spider, Neon Sea-Slug, and the Bird From Hell
May 24, 2015 May 24, 2015 risahopedinosaurs, insects, new species, photography, science, Scientific American, strange science, taxonomyLeave a comment
Scientific American shared a list of the top 10 most interesting new species discovered last year. The fascinating list was published by the International Institute for Species Exploration (IISE) at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry on May 21. Explore the new creatures below!
SOLITARY BROMELIAD: Tillandsia religiosa, a solitary flowering plant with rose-colored spikes and flat green leaves, grows in rocky terrain in Morelos, Mexico. T. religiosa has long been known to native people of the region, who incorporated it into nacimientos (altar scenes depicting the birth of Christ) at Christmas. Yet scientists have only recently described it. Photograph by A. Espejo
BONE-HOUSE WASP: A wasp found in the Gutianshan National Nature Reserve in eastern China, Deuteragenia ossarium has gained notoriety for its morbid nesting habits. It builds its nests in hollow plant stems made of cells separated by soil walls, with each cell hosting an individual egg. To prepare the nest, it kills and deposits a spider in a cell as food for the larva when it hatches, lays an egg in that cell, then repeats the process for each consecutive cell. The wasp fills the last cell with up to 13 dead ants, which serve as a chemical barrier to the nest by camouflaging it with the odor of decay. Photograph by Merten Ehmig
WALKING STICK Measuring at 23 centimeters long—yes, as long as a human forearm—Phyganistria tamdaoensis is a member of the family of "giant stick" insects, the largest insects in the world. The creature's stick like body makes it a master of camouflage, which helps explain how it eluded discovery in its habitat in Vietnam—until now. Photograph by Jonathan Brecko
WHITE-SPOTTED PUFFERFISH: In 1995 scientists described an underwater phenomenon akin to crop circles on the sea floor off the coast of Japan's Amami-Oshima Island. Marine exploration led to the discovery that these large geometric designs are actually the nests of a pufferfish known as Torquigener albomaculosus. The fact the culprits who made them eluded scientists for 10 years earned T. albomaculosus a place on the list. Male pufferfish build these intricate nests by wriggling around in the sand on the ocean floor. The nests are intended to attract females and designed to minimize ocean current at the center of the nest to protect the eggs. Photograph by Yoji Okata
PHOTOGENIC SEA SLUG: This gastropod, Phyllodesmium acanthorhinum, sports vivid shades of blue, red and gold. Its discovery helped scientists understand the symbiosis that occurs in members of this genus. Algae called zooxanthellae typically exist symbiotically with coral, where they exchange nutrients via cycles of respiration and photosynthesis. In sea slugs a type of tri-species symbiosis occurs when algae residing in a slug's gut draw nutrients from coral its host consumes, in turn furnishing the slug with the nutrient products of photosynthesis.

CORAL PLANT: Found only on the southwestern slopes of Mount Mignan in the Philippines, Balanophora coralliformis is an endangered plant that parasitizes the roots of other plants. Its rough, elongated, repeatedly branching, aboveground tubers set it apart from other species of its kind. Photograph by P.B. Pelser & J.F. Barcelona
INDONESIAN FROG: Limnonectes larvaepartus is a small fanged frog found in forests on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is unique in that the female's eggs are fertilized internally and she gives birth to live tadpoles. Of the 6,455 known species of frogs, fewer than a dozen undergo internal fertilization. And apart from this new species, all frogs either lay eggs or give birth to froglets. Photograph by Jimmy A. McGuire
CHICKEN FROM HELL Anzu wyliei is a bird like dinosaur that inhabited North American 66 million years ago. Because its relatives are chicken-size and the fossils were discovered at the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota, A. wyliei received the nickname "chicken from hell." Its genus name, Anzu, derives from the feathered demon "Anzû" of Babylonian mythology. Illustration by Mark A. Klingler
THE X-PHYLA: Residing on the sea floor off the coast of Australia, Dendrogramma enigmatica is notable for its tiny size and mushroomlike shape. It resembles members of the phyla Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals, sea anemones and hydras) and Ctenophora (comb jellies) but lacks key evolutionary traits of both. Consequently, scientists have proposed that D. enigmatica might be a member of its own new phylum. Photograph by Jørgen Oleson
CARTWHEELING SPIDER Meet the arachnid world's top gymnast. Cebrennus rechenbergi is a hunting spider found in the deserts of Morocco. This spider is the only species to "cartwheel," which allows it to move two times faster than running when escaping from danger. Its unique movement inspired a biomimetic robot that walks and rolls.

The Danish radio promotion company, Fono Pro, wanted to clearly communicate its values and mission. The focus of the company was to make the musicians' and the record labels' releases "louder" i.e. promotion and airplay.
I created a sound brand for the company with references to the radio media itself – all in a clear and modern sound. Also, a crescendo, indicating progress and well-promoted music releases is a part of the sound logo.
The company's slogan "we make your sound louder" and its area of operation was packed into the sound logo in order to clearly communicate its mission and vision!
