Campaigning for the PASS Board of Directors election is underway. I encourage all eligible voters to read the candidate statements and learn about their perspectives and plans for PASS. Ask questions of the candidates at their Town Hall events on September 15 or in the discussion forums. Visit the elections page for links to these communication channels.
All of the candidates are qualified to serve and have strong track records of volunteer involvement with PASS; voters will have to make some difficult choices. One of these candidates is Ryan Adams. I have been encouraging Ryan to run for the past couple of years because I think he is the type of thoughtful leader we need on the Board. I was pleased when Ryan decided to run and happy to provide a recommendation as part of his application. That recommendation is reprinted here to explain why I think Ryan is a strong candidate in this election.
I have had the opportunity to work with Ryan Adams on several PASS-related activities and I enthusiastically recommend him as a candidate for the Board of Directors.
When I first joined the Board and had responsibility for the Virtual Chapter portfolio, Ryan was a Virtual Chapter leader. In that capacity he not only led the Performance VC, but he assisted other VC leaders.
In my first year we needed to onboard the VCs to a new webinar platform. Ryan contributed to that project throughout; he was one of the leaders who helped evaluate and recommend a solution. He was one of the first leaders to adopt the new platform and helped others onboard through providing documentation and training. This is illustrative of Ryan's approach to volunteerism–he goes above and beyond in his contributions, and he generously helps others.
As Performance VC leader Ryan is always looking for ways to market the group's webinars and as a result attendance has grown and they have become one of the strongest, most active VCs. Under Ryan's leadership the VC added a new offering, the "Performance Palooza", which has become a very popular annual event. And true to form, Ryan has shared his marketing tips with the other VC leaders.
I've been impressed not only by what Ryan does for PASS, but how he does it. He encourages and thanks his fellow volunteers and never takes the work of others for granted. He has cultivated good working relationships with other volunteer leaders of PASS and PASS HQ, which is so important to the success of the organization.
Ryan's thoughtful approach to leadership and ability to see the big picture are qualities that will serve him well should he be elected to the board. I am pleased to offer this reference in support of his candidacy.

Q: Exp-gamma probability density I'm trying to compute the probability density of a random variable $\log(X)$, where $X \sim \textrm{Gamma}(k, \Theta)$, in Mathematica 11. One way to do this is by:
F[x_] = PDF[TransformedDistribution[Log[X], X \[Distributed] GammaDistribution[k, \[CapitalTheta]]], x]

The answer corresponds to what I can prove by hand:
$$\frac{\Theta ^{-k} e^{k x-\frac{e^x}{\Theta }}}{\Gamma (k)}$$
According to the documentation, "The exp-gamma distribution is mathematically defined to be the distribution that models Y==log(X) whenever X ~ GammaDistribution". Therefore, it seems I should get the same result with
G[x_] = PDF[ExpGammaDistribution[k, \[CapitalTheta], 0], x]

However, the answer is different:
$$\frac{e^{\frac{k x}{\Theta }-e^{x/\Theta }}}{\Theta  \Gamma (k)}$$
This is a different function, which can be seen by plotting:
Plot[{F[x], G[x]} /. {k -> 3, \[CapitalTheta] -> 2}, {x, 0, 5}]

What am I missing?

A: Later in the documentation examples, it is seen that $\mathrm{ExpGamma}[k,\Theta]$ is the distribution of $\Theta \log(X)$, where $X \sim \mathrm{Gamma}[k, 1]$. The $\Theta$ in the $\mathrm{ExpGamma}$ distribution is not related to the $\Theta$ in the $\mathrm{Gamma}$ distribution.

These devices are perfect for settings such as commercial/residential facilities, schools and universities, retail establishments, warehouse and manufacturing plants, SMB, parking garages and shipyards and so much more.
IP multicast is a technique for one-to-many communication over a local IP network. IGMP multicast is sent via UDP packets from a multicast server to a multicast receiver. This stream scales to a larger receiver population by not requiring prior knowledge of who or how many receivers there are. Multicast uses network infrastructure efficiently by requiring the source to send a packet only once, even if it needs to be delivered to many receivers. The network replicates the packet in order to reach multiple receivers only when necessary.
Multicast is a great alternative to SIP registration as it does not require that the recipient of the stream to register as an extension on an IP-PBX server.
CyberData products support both regular IGMP multicast as well as proprietary Polycom Group Paging.
On the V2 products, what happens during a firmware upload if the process gets corrupted?
To guard against failed firmware upgrades, units shipped from CyberData with v5.1.2 feature a built-in "fail safe" mechanism. Note that field upgrading earlier units with v5.x.x will not allow for this feature. The Intercom will store the "TFTP Server IP" and "New Filename" entered on the "Update Firmware" web page. If, during the boot process, the Intercom is unable to boot the firmware, it will attempt to download the stored image from the stored TFTP server.

Mikhail Gorbachev was the leader of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1991. As General Secretary, he introduced wide-ranging reforms (glasnost and perestroika) which inadvertantly caused the collapse of communism in the USSR and Eastern Europe. Gorbachev resigned when the USSR was officially dissolved in late 1991.

EU offer to Serbia a 'hoax': PM Kostunica
Published time: 5 Feb, 2008 19:21 Edited time: 5 Feb, 2008 22:21
Serbia's Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has denounced plans to sign a trade deal with the EU. His statement has once again exposed underlying disagreements with the country's President Boris Tadic. After last weekend's re-election of Tadic, the EU form
Kostunica has labelled the offer a 'hoax' meant to trap the country into accepting Kosovo's independence.
He's urged an emergency meeting of the Serbian parliament to stop the EU mission.
Kosovo, which has been under UN administration since 1999, could declare independence in the coming weeks, despite opposition from Serbia and Russia.
Serbia divided on EU integration
Serbia is set to sign a co-operation deal with the European Union on Thursday lifting trade and travel restrictions.
On Sunday, pro-western Tadic won 51 per cent of the vote, while nationalist Tomislav Nikolic gained 47 per cent.
Thousands of mostly young Tadic supporters poured in from all over Belgrade to celebrate. Boris Tadic basked in the glory. But he says that more needs to be done.
"We now need to work on serious problems: crime, corruption. We are facing new, local elections. We need new people. We cannot solve these problems with the same people in power," Tadic stressed.
Although he only won by a narrow margin, the high turnout gives a strong mandate to Boris Tadic. Serbia will continue to follow the path to European integration, both politically and economically.
Furthermore Tadic's shaky parliamentary coalition with Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica looks like it will live to fight another day.
As the results came in, the mood at Tomislav Nikolic's Radical Party headquarters grew despondent. The runner up to Tadic yet again, Nikolic accused his rival of staging a dirty campaign that caricatured him as an unelectable isolationist. Nevertheless he readily conceded defeat.
Kosovo independence
With the election now out of the way, it means Kosovo once again becomes the main bone of contention. Kosovo's officials have hinted they may postpone a declaration of independence following the re-election of Boris Tadic – but not for long.
A lot of paperwork is yet to be done. The declaration of independence is not ready, nor is the constitution of the new state. Its first draft will only be available on February 17. Forty laws have to be drafted and passed before the independence of Kosovo can be declared.
71 per cent of Kosovo's Serbian population voted for Tomislav Nikolic. Ethnic Albanians in Kosovo's capital Pristina say they were not really interested in the outcome of Serbian election, because for them the declaration of independence is just a question of time.
The province's Serbian minority fears that once Kosovo breaks from Serbia they will have to leave. Some Serbs living there have already been exiled from other parts of former Yugoslavia.
Aleksandr Botsan-Kharchenko, the Russian Representative in the Kosovo negotiating troika, says Russia will not recognise the region as an independent state if it declares independence unilaterally.

CMG Presidents call on CBC Senior Management and Board of Directors to fight for CBC/Radio-Canada
By CMG • Posted on May 27, 2015
CMG Presidents endorse campaign and call on Senior Management and Board of Directors to fight along with CMG for CBC/Radio-Canada
Over the past weekend, delegates to the Presidents Council of the CBC Branch unanimously adopted a resolution to endorse the CMG campaign to reverse the cuts and restore sustainable funding for CBC/Radio-Canada. The Presidents Council, comprised of all the Presidents of the Location Units of the CBC Branch of the Canadian Media Guild, also strongly denounced the 2020 plan. The CMG leaders at CBC do not think the move to mobile and digital platforms should be done at the expense of other valuable services.
(See motion at bottom of communique)
Presidents Council delegates called on Hubert Lacroix and the CBC Board of Directors to alter the 2020 plan and to fight publicly along with the Guild to champion our national public broadcaster.
CBC Branch Executive meets with Hubert Lacroix and several CBC top executives
On Friday, May 22, the meeting between the Guild's CBC Branch Executive Council (BEC) and CBC President Hubert Lacroix, included EVP English Services, Heather Conway, the EVP French Services, Louis Lalande and 6 other senior managers. Also in attendance were CMG National President Carmel Smith and VP Lise Lareau, as well as "Champion Public Broadcasting" campaign director Kam Rao. It was an opportunity for both parties to discuss current issues. CMG voiced its concerns about the future of CBC/Radio-Canada and challenged management on its decisions. CMG leaders also pressed CBC executives on questions submitted by members from across the country.
On the 2020 Plan
Senior CBC/SRC executives say the direction taken under the 2020 Plan and the related layoffs are going ahead – even if funding is ever restored. "Tough choices had to be made in order to get to CBC's mobile strategy," said Hubert Lacroix. When asked why the CBC could not suspend the cuts until after the federal elections, he said these measures were necessary to balance the books and meet CBC's payroll obligations this fiscal year. "We have no interest in hiding the fact that the CBC is making cuts and are happy to say that there are consequences to these cuts," said Heather Conway.
Heather Conway, defended the reductions in programming produced by CBC and its employees, including the closure of the documentary unit: "We are Canada's public broadcaster not necessarily Canada's public producer (…) We want the best Canadian content we can have – that is why we are buying docs." She added that she was not philosophically opposed to in-house production, and she would consider it, depending on the financials.
Hubert Lacroix said that decisions regarding the outsourcing of weather to The Weather Network, and the sale of real estate were based on perceived cost savings.
On the Rubin Report
Senior Management will meet with unions this week on how the CBC intends to deal with the recommendations of the Rubin report following the Ghomeshi scandal. They added that some of this work would be done in collaboration with the unions.
On a related topic of harassment, the union asked what was being done about reporters facing so-called 'FHRITP' assaults in the field, and expressed concerns about sending CBC employees alone to cover stories. The head of CBC News, Jennifer Mcguire and others said that they were looking into this and work was in progress.
On Radio-Canada services to Francophones outside Québec;
EVP Louis Lalande spoke about the Ontario and Quebec Governments' recent report titled "CBC/Radio-Canada Funding – Status report Possible solutions." He noted that Management has been calling for some of the same recommendations for a number of years. Management welcomed the recommendations put forth in the report.
On Diversity
The union again raised the issue of the Senior Management Team not reflecting Canada, and its diverse populations: Aboriginal people, people with disabilities and visible minorities. The union noted that it has been raising these issues for many years now, and flagged that the corporation was losing diversity through the cuts. The CBC said that they are working on some new initiatives to recruit from minority and diversity groups.
On Advocacy
In a discussion about members'participation in a campaign to save the CBC during the upcoming election, Jennifer McGuire, CBC News Head, said that CBC employees "are allowed to be advocates for public broadcasting but not be partisan." Both sides agreed to work on a clarifying note in order for all employees, especially those in News, to better understand what is acceptable.
Champion Public Broadcasting
Your union will hold several events over the next few months as part of its "Champion CBC/Radio-Canada Campaign". We urge you to get involved as much as you can to help convince Canadians to VOTE for a political party that has vowed to restore and fund CBC/Radio-Canada in a sustainable way in order to permit the national public broadcaster to adequately reflect the stories, the culture and the diversity of our great country, coast-to-coast, in 2 official languages and 8 aboriginal languages.
UNITED WE WILL SAVE THE CBC/RADIO-CANADA!
Motion by CBC Branch Presidents Council – May 23rd, 2015
WHEREAS the 2020 plan calls for a leaner, smaller CBC/Radio-Canada, the result of a massive downsizing of its material and human resources, that is incompatible with the structure required to deliver its mandate under the Broadcasting Act, coast to coast, in 2 official languages and 8 aboriginal languages;
WHEREAS the 2020 plan significantly reduces CBC/Radio-Canada's capacity to do in-house production of cultural and arts and entertainment productions, dramas, news and documentaries, by largely abandoning its role of producer of content to broadcaster of content acquired in the private sector;
WHEREAS the 2020 plan is eliminating CBC/Radio-Canada's capacity to deliver television programming and its ability to create quality video productions;
WHEREAS the 2020 plan introduces the concept of local services tailored to "needs" and commercial criteria such as "ratings", abandoning the traditional and legal notion of a quality public service for all;
WHEREAS the 2020 plan is in fact a strategy without a plan that looks more and more like a cost-cutting exercise;
WHEREAS we are concerned the 2020 plan is being implemented at an accelerated pace so that it will soon be nearly impossible to reverse the course in order to make CBC/Radio-Canada whole again;
WHEREAS the CBC Board of Directors and its CEO are morally obligated under the Broadcasting Act to defend and promote the National Public Broadcaster;
WHEREAS the current Federal Government won't recognize the financial strain numerous budgets cuts are having on the CBC/Radio-Canada.
BE IT RESOLVED
-That the CBC Branch of the Canadian Media Guild engage in a national campaign to encourage the Canadian Public to vote in the next Federal Election for a political party that has vowed to restore sustainable funding for CBC/Radio-Canada;
-That the CBC Branch of the Canadian Media Guild denounce in the firmest terms possible the 2020 plan and lobby the CBC Board and Management to modify it so the transitioning to mobile
platforms is not done at the expense of other valuable services;
-And BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the CBC Branch of the Canadian Media Guild strongly urge the CBC Board and CEO to abide by their obligation under Article 1 of the CBC/CMG Collective Agreement and the Broadcasting Act and publicly fight for more funding.
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

Q: First derivative of this secial function What is the derivative of the following function:
$$f(x) = \frac{a}{((\sqrt{b+bx})(d-\sqrt{e+gx}))^2}$$

A: Hint
Rewrite $$f(x) = \frac{a}{\Big((\sqrt{b+bx})(d-\sqrt{e+gx})\Big)^2}= \frac{a}{b(1+x)\Big((d-\sqrt{e+gx})\Big)^2}$$ $$f(x) = \frac{a}{b~~ u(x)~~ v(x)}=\frac{a}{b}\frac{1}{u(x)~ v(x)}$$ using $$u(x)=1+x$$ $$v(x)=w^2(x)$$ $$w(x)=d-\sqrt{e+gx}$$ which will make life simpler.  Now $$u'(x)=1$$ $$v'(x)=2w(x)~w'(x)$$ $$w'(x)=-\frac{g}{2 \sqrt{e+g x}}$$
I am sure that you can take from here and finish.

On November 9, 1978, Cleveland fully recorded Agora Ballroom performance with super high quality stereo sound board recording. Although this sound source which appeared on the net by touch with direct recording from the disc for BBC broadcasting, the sound quality is better than the same sound source which was circulating in the past, and Caesar's Palace Blues which was not accounted for in the famous "Road Test" is also included I will. While the sound source of UK composed of Alan · Holdsworth and Bill · Braford has a number of excellent sound sources left for the activity period, including line recording and good quality audience recording, this work is It is recorded with the highest sound quality representing this time. Although I can listen to superior performance with stable performance, Alan's tone seems to be one more, of course, I can hear a lot of wonderful play that he seems, but there are many mistakes at the same time. Eddie Jobson's rich violin expression and stunning keyboard decisions are truly amazing. The pitch which was low as a whole by the semitone was also exactly adjusted, and the highest sound quality / decision board of Agora performance which corrected to the best state including the sound color.
★ It is a review summary of beatleg magazine vol.91 (February 2008 issue). For your information.
One of UK's earliest boot CDs, the famous board "ROAD TEST" from Microphone in 1991, is a sound board sound source recorded from the BBC broadcasting disk, although Alan · Holdsworth's guitar is in bad condition , I think that the performance of the overall band was a very acclaimed boot among fans because it was very aggressive and violent but vivid performance was heard. Cleveland on November 9, 1978, which is also the source of this boot, the sound source that included the Agora · Ballroom show, the open reel broadcasting sound source came on the net and was not recorded in "ROAD TEST" It is a new sound source that became a hot topic because "Caesar's Palace Blues" is included. Although it seems that the original broadcast date is February 4, 1974, the announcement by DJ is also recorded in the intro and outro, it is a complete recording source. Several types of new sound source track division type were circulating on the net, but this summer, press CD of paper jacket of the BBC TRANSCRIPTION specification which used this new sound source was circulating in Nishi Shinjuku. This Boot CD released from Windmill is a stereo sound board sound source of the best and high sound quality which sound quality is better than the same sound source which was circulated in the past and the pitch was corrected exactly correctly. I think that when you compare it with the good old "ROAD TEST", you can see the difference further. You should feel that the sound of each instrument and the vocal of John Wetton are gently echoing to the ear. Caesar's Palace Blues is a somewhat fancy performance, but despite getting this Caesar's Palace Blues alone, the value of the work does not go down. Rather this book can be said to be the best sound source suitable for release as an official board !!
UKの最初期のブートCDの1つ、1991年に Microphoneより出た名盤『ROAD TEST』は、BBC放送用ディスクより収録されたサウンドボード音源で、アラン・ホールズワースのギターの調子が良くないものの、全体的なバンドの演奏は非常に攻撃的で荒々しくも生々しい演奏が聴けたことでファンの間ではとても絶賛されたブートであったように思う。このブートの元ネタともなっている1978年11月9日のクリーブランドはアゴラ・ボールルーム公演を収録した音源は、オープンリールの放送用音源がネットで出回るようになり、『ROAD TEST』に未収録の「Caesar's Palace Blues」が収録されていることで話題になった新音源である。オリジナルの放送日は1974年2月4日だと思われるが、イントロとアウトロにはDJによるアナウンスも収録されており、完全収録音源なのである。新音源のトラック分けのタイプが違うものが数種類ネット上で出回っていたが、今夏にもこの新音源を利用したBBC TRANSCRIPTION仕様の紙ジャケのプレスCDが西新宿で出回っていた。このたびWindmillからリリースされたこのブートCDは、過去に出回っていた同音源よりも更に音質が良く、ピッチを正確に修正した最良・高音質のステレオ・サウンドボード音源である。古き良 き『ROAD TEST』と聴き比べると一段とその違いがわかると思う。各楽器の音色やジョン・ウェットンのボーカルが耳に優しく響くようになっていることが感じられる筈だ。目玉のCaesar's Palace Bluesは若干おとなし目の演奏ではあるが、このCaesar's Palace Bluesだけの為にゲットしても作品の価値は落ちない。むしろ本盤は、 オフィシャル盤としてリリースするにふさわしい程の最良音源であるといえる!!

United States 1999
USA stands for United States of America according to Abbreviationfinder.org. On January 7, 1999, Senate hearings began with President Bill Clinton regarding his deal with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. The indictment against Clinton concerned perjury and attempts to prevent clarifying facts from being made, and prosecutors considered the president to be so criminal that he had to resign. Bill Clinton thus became the second president of US history to face trial, but most judges doubted from the outset that Clinton would lose the case. It was considered unlikely that a necessary two-thirds majority would vote against him. Clinton's Representative Andrew Johnson, the first president to stand trial in 1868, was acquitted with only one overweight vote. In Bill Clinton's case, at least 12 Democrats were required to vote with the Republican majority in order for it to be a convict. Visit Countryaah official website to get information about the capital city of United States.
Clinton's lawyers ran the line that even though the president committed a trial and prevented clarifying facts from being revealed, his crimes were still not serious enough to be sentenced in national law, as enshrined in the US Constitution. It is only a violation of the political system, e.g. treason, which is serious enough to lead to national law, not perpetration committed in a private matter such as divorce or a target of sexual harassment, according to defense attorneys.
On January 19, President Clinton spoke at the congressional opening, but he did not touch on the lawsuit against him at all, but outlined the prevailing domestic politics in social policy, education and health care. The account of the state in the nation was very well received by US voters, and a poll after the poll showed that 70% of those surveyed thought Bill Clinton was doing a good job.
The decisive vote in the Senate on February 12 ended with acquittal. With voting numbers 55-45, the Senate voted against the president's denial when he denied before a court in August 1998 that he had a sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Ten Republican senators voted with the Democrats.
The surge after the Lewinsky scandal eventually settled, and new dramatic events caught the attention of Americans.
Jack Kevorkian, a retired pathologist who helped the deadly 56-year-old Thomas Youk commit suicide, was sentenced April 13 to between 10 and 25 years in prison for second-degree murder. Kevorkian acknowledged that he had obtained the deadly drug Youk used in the suicide. He has previously admitted that he assisted in 130 suicides since 1990.
On April 20, 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold attacked a school in Littleton, Colorado, killing 12 students and their teachers in the most serious shooting drama that occurred at a school in the United States.
The domestic political debate was now dominated by the conclusions that should be drawn from the drama in Littleton. Bill Clinton was trying to push a national consensus on tougher gun control. Republicans, however, voted down a proposal for mandatory checks on anyone who buys guns, and then voted through a proposal to encourage voluntary checks on gun dealers without a license.
On July 29, President Clinton's amorous business again became front page material when the Arkansas District Judge ordered Bill Clinton to pay $ 90,686, mainly to Paula Jones, as compensation for costs related to the Paula Jones sexual harassment case.
In late November, Bill Clinton's draft budget for the 2000 financial year was approved, after several months of opposition from Republicans in both the Senate and House of Representatives. Republicans demanded that government spending be reduced by 1%, but the president stopped the cut with his veto, and his own proposal for a cut of only 0.38% went through.
In November, Hillary Clinton announced that she is running for New York candidate in the next Senate election. She briefly held her first political speech and went there for a fierce attack on New York's Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and his harsh policies on the city's homeless.
Six-year-old Elian Gonzalez, who survived two days at sea after his mother and stepfather drowned while trying to escape from Cuba, became the cause of tough diplomatic entanglements in December. The boy's father and grandparents demand that the boy be returned to them in Cuba, while relatives in Miami require the boy to be granted a residence permit and stay in the United States.
On December 14, the United States surrendered control of the Panama Canal to Panama after 80 years of occupation of the Canal Zone. The surrender, which took place at a ceremony at one of the canal banks, marks the end of the negotiations on the control of the canal that began as early as 1977.
The labor movement
The United States is a social system where all threats from the left have been crushed. The challenges of the established power elite have come from the right, which has countered the "Big Government", "Big Business" and "Big Trade Unions". The elite of power has always been able to absorb this resistance without the great difficulties.
Yet, there has also been a radical undercurrent in the protests against the incumbents. The antitrust laws were inspired by a populist ideology that regarded the large corporations and organized political and economic interests of Washington as its natural opponent. Especially around the turn of the century, populism flourished, and it has at times had strong anti-capitalist undertones.
The labor movement has never been strong, in the sense we know from Europe. The trade union movement has roots quite far back. As early as the 1790's, labor unions were formed in several cities in the United States. In 1827, trade unions in Philadelphia formed a joint organization, and in 1830 several national associations were established. However, these associations did not become permanent. A crisis and a subsequent vigorous reform period pervaded the movement. It was not until the 1850's that the trade unions came back strong, and in 1869 the Knights of Labor organization was formed – partly according to the pattern of the English charters. It organized craftsmen and skilled workers, the political trend was anti-capitalist, but also to some extent anti-industrial. The organization exclusively organized whites and had strong racist traits.
In 1886 a comprehensive demonstration was held in Chicago on May 1 for 8 hours of work. Two days later, the demonstrations had doubled and were now being attacked by police. When the trade union movement held a protest meeting on Haymarket the next day, a bomb was thrown, costing 7 policemen and 4 workers. Authorities sentenced the year after 4 anarchists to the attack and hanged them – the martyrs of Chicago. The international labor movement subsequently decided to make May 1 the working class international match day.
In the same year – 1886 – a nationwide trade union was formed in the United States – the American Federation of Labor (AFL). The union was almost dominant in the North American trade union movement right up to the end of the interwar period. Among its founders were Samuel Gompers and Adolph Strasser. They came from England and Germany and knew of the European trade union movement. Both were socialists, and the union marked itself in its program of radical formulations about the class contradictions of American society. But despite the anti-capitalist tendency, the federation led a purely reform-oriented policy. Like the Knights of Labor, the AFL was largely white and chauvinistic. (See Trade Union Movement).
AFL consisted of autonomous unions, organized by business groups. The union gained momentum in parts of the industry and achieved great improvements in working conditions, working hours and pay conditions for its members. But AFL limited its business to skilled workers – mostly English speaking. The unskilled and the new immigrant groups fell outside their professional field.
In 1905, a new revolutionary trade union was formed – Industrial Workers of the World, IWW. The initiation of the formation was taken by the leaders of the major miners' union – the Western Federation of Miners – which broke with the AFL because of the federation's reformist policies. Together with the miners, the two socialist parties, the Socialist Labor Party and The Socialist Party, and independent syndicalists took the initiative for the founding congress. After a short time, however, the syndicalists took over the leadership of the federation.
IWW set itself the goal of organizing unskilled workers and immigrants in the major industrial areas. The union had initially reached 100,000 members, and must have had up to 200,000 during periods of hard strikes and actions. When the syndicalists took over the leadership in 1908, they restricted the company to purely professional actions and broke the direct contact with the socialist parties. IWW was never a member in terms of significant, but implemented a number of major strikes and actions in the period up to the first World War.
In the late 30's, the AFL was split. A new law gave workers the right to enter into agreements in the companies. The leaders of several unions within the AFL then took the initiative to organize the workers directly at the company level, but the AFL management objected to this because it broke with the union's organizational form. Despite the protests, a number of "Committees of Industrial Organization" were formed, which later joined the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).
In particular, the CIO made a breakthrough in the industry based on mass production – especially after having reached collective agreements within some of the largest companies, such as US Steel and General Motors. The federation supported the Democratic Party and partnered with the Liberal wing.
In the late 1930's, membership in the professional organizations doubled from 3 to 6 million. By 1943 it had risen to 12 and in 1953 to 17 million. Of the 17, 50% were members of the AFL, 30% of the CIO and 20% of the railway workers and other unions. In 1955, AFL and CIO were merged (AFL-CIO). to have cooperated against the so-called Taft-Hartley Act of 1948, which restricted the right to strike.
Socialist parties have never managed to develop in the United States to an extent comparable to European countries. The first Socialist Party was formed in 1877 and was called The Socialist Labor Party. The party was especially marked by Daniel De Leon, who joined it in 1890. The Socialist Party, which was formed in 1901, became more important in 1901. In 1912, the party gained about 1 million votes in the presidential election, or 6% of the total vote. In 1920, its presidential candidate, Eugene Debs, received a similar backing, despite the fact that at the time he was jailed as a political prisoner.
The party occupied the same position for the war as the European social democracies, and in 1921 the left broke out and formed a North American Communist Party. The party never gained a foothold in North American politics, but members of the party entered the leadership of some of the unions. The Socialist Party and a number of different anti-Stalinist groups also worked within the trade union movement – especially in connection with the IWW and later with the CIO. Under the leadership of Norman Thomas, the Socialist Party was strongly influenced by Christian and pacifist currents. It gained momentum in the 1930's and gained nearly 1 million votes again in the 1932 presidential election.
After World War II, a comprehensive campaign was launched to remove communists from all positions in North American society. The campaign, led by Senator JR McCarthy, made it impossible for almost all socialist politics in the American public. Communists and socialists were purged by the trade union movement, intellectuals of all socialist observances were met with suspicion, political persecution and blacklisting throughout the 50's, and all leftist radicalism was paralyzed.
The end of this paralysis first occurred in 1960. That year, several hundred students in San Francisco demonstrated against the so – called Un-American Activities Committee (House of Un-American Activities Committee, HUAC). That same year, the CORE – Congress of Racial Equality – began organizing so-called "Freedom Rides" for southern states to support the blacks' fight against racial segregation and discrimination. Also included in this movement were black and white students who were organized in the non-violence organization SNCC.
The fight against discrimination against blacks was to become one of the most important components of a comprehensive radicalization of North American society in the 1960's. Along with the racial struggle, first the fight against US Cuban politics and later the opposition to the Vietnam War contributed to the development of a new left movement – which gained reverberations throughout the North American community. Especially in the student and university environments, the new movement took on a socialist character. The SDS (Students for a Democratic Society), with the Fabian-dominated SLID (Students League for Industrial Democracy) and affiliations with the Socialist Party, was for a long time the leading organization. The movement placed itself in a tradition dating back to pre-war socialist currents. SDS was predominantly dominated byanti-authoritarian groups with links to the European "new left".
Towards the end of the decade, a number of Maoist-inspired groups and groups emerged that developed various forms of violent action. Within the movement of the blacks (see Black Power), various groups broke with the former non-violence stand, which was especially advocated by Martin Luther King, and formed various "party-building" and guerilla-oriented organizations. At the same time, a comprehensive women's movement emerged, which turned the anti-authoritarian ideas of the new left into one of its main principles, and sought to organize comprehensive counter-movements of and for women in all spheres of society. With the US defeat and withdrawal from Vietnam, the movement lost one of its main drivers and support in the cross-political opposition to US warfare.

Celebrating The Ships of The Line: The Phoenix
It really all began with the Phoenix, didn't it? And for that we can thank Dr. Zefram Chochrane. The Phoenix was built on Earth and holds the distinction of being the first manned spacecraft to travel faster than the speed of light using warp-drive technology. Cochrane, with the help of Lily Sloane, erected the craft in an abandoned Bozeman, Montanta, missile complex, putting to use a U.S. Air Force nuclear missile with a titanium casing.
The Phoenix launched on April 5, 2063, despite an attack by the Borg, thanks to the intervention of crew of the Enterprise-E, including William Riker and Geordi La Forge. The successful launch led to Earth's first contact with extraterrestrials, specifically the Vulcans.
StarTrek.com's look at the Phoenix continues our ongoing celebration of the Ships of the Line, which will carry on from now until the end of the year. The latest in the bestselling Ships of the Line calendar series is available now; visit www.Amazon.com to purchase the 2015 Ships of the Line calendar. And if you're an artist or designer, be sure to enter the Ships of the Line Design Contest, under way now, for a chance to have your art featured in the 2016 Ships of the Line calendar.

WHAT we have said about the defensive battle throws a strong light upon the offensive also.
We there had in view that class of battle in which the defensive appears most decidedly pronounced, in order that we might convey a more vivid impression of its nature;—but only the fewer number are of that kind; most battles are demirencontres in which the defensive character disappears to a great extent. It is otherwise with the offensive battle: it preserves its character under all circumstances, and can keep up that character the more boldly, as the defender is out of his proper esse. For this reason, in the battle which is not purely defensive and in the real rencontres, there always remains also something of the difference of the character of the battle on the one side and on the other. The chief distinctive characteristic of the offensive battle is the manœuvre to turn or surround, therefore, the initiative as well.
As it is an object with the commander in the defensive battle to delay the decision as long as possible, and gain time, because a defensive battle undecided at sunset is commonly one gained: therefore the commander, in the offensive battle, requires to hasten the decision; but, on the other hand, there is a great risk in too much haste, because it leads to a waste of forces. One peculiarity in the offensive battle is the uncertainty, in most cases, as to the position of the enemy; it is a complete groping about amongst things that are unknown (Austerlitz, Wagram, Hohenlinden, Jena, Katzbach). The more this is the case, so much the more concentration of forces becomes paramount, and turning a flank to be preferred to surrounding. That the principal fruits of victory are first gathered in the pursuit, we have already learnt in the twelfth chapter of the 4th Book. According to the nature of the thing, the pursuit is more an integral part of the whole action in the offensive than in the defensive battle.

Design Crimes: The Logo from Hell!
By William Bostwick 1 minute Read
Immediately following a 1965 episode of Bewitched, Design Crimes HQ's switchboard was overloaded with mysterious distress calls. Many consisted only of whimpering. In the background of some, faint yet hypnotic chimes could be heard. Responding officers found children cowering behind the La-Z-Boy, or hiding in the broom closet, inconsolable. No record of assailant(s) reported. Televisions showed only Peyton Place. Over the next decade, similar distress calls were received, but without hard evidence of design assault, case was closed in 1974.
Now, independent paranormal graphics researcher Rodney Ascher has re-opened case with conclusive proof, unveiled at the Sundance Film Festival, of the graphic's existence, and recently declassified eye-witness reports of its demonic effect on children in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Assailant now understood to be Screen Gems Logo, comprising animated bars of light that appeared to reach out of television screens, drawing unsuspecting children into alternate dimension through hypnosis and creepy music.
Research now reveals a rash of similar attacks throughout that era. Assailants include PBS and Walt Disney, heretofore considered wholesome and immune to such witchery. A Design Crimes case squad has been formed to examine all reports of attacks. If you or someone you love were or are suspected to be a victim, post a comment below. Following video footage not recommended for children. View at your own discretion.

Murphy and Waltz Request Briefing from FBI Over Election Interference
October 23, 2020 by Sara Wilkerson
Yesterday, Reps. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., and Michael Waltz, R-Fla., sent a letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe and Attorney General Bill Barr requesting an official briefing on Russian and Iranian interference in the 2020 election. The request comes after the FBI announced Wednesday that Iran and Russia have actively interfered in the 2020 election by allegedly obtaining voter registration data.
In a public statement, Murphy said, "Just like in 2016, foreign actors like Russia and Iran are targeting Florida in an effort to undermine our democracy. Rep. Waltz and I have requested a briefing from federal authorities on the threat from Russia and Iran.
"We will push for greater transparency for voters—the true victims of election interference," concluded Murphy's statement.
"In 2016, Russia hacked two Florida counties' voter data. This year, our adversaries are targeting Florida once more. Voters deserve to know the extent of this new election interference. This is why Rep. Murphy and I are requesting a briefing with the FBI for answers," Waltz tweeted following the release of the Congressional letter.
In the letter sent to the agency directors and AG Barr, Reps. Waltz and Murphy stated that their request for a classified briefing stems in part from recent threatening emails sent to Florida residents in Waltz's district, which the FBI has indicated originated in Iran.
"It [the letter] is also a response to public reporting that Iran has sent threatening, faked emails to Florida voters in Alachua County, Brevard County, and Flagler County. We understand the U.S. intelligence community believes foreign adversaries will take additional steps in the coming days to interfere in the election," stated the letter.
Murphy and Waltz also stated in the letter they requested a briefing since Florida was not informed of Russian interference in 2016 until the Mueller Report was published.
It is for these reasons that Murphy and Waltz introduced the ALERTS Act, which required that Congress and the public be informed if foreign entities attempted to interfere in future U.S elections. A similar provision was enacted earlier this year in the National Defense Authorization Act.
"We were gratified that Congress subsequently enacted P.L. 116-92, which requires the intelligence community to brief congressional leaders and certain committees when it has moderate or high confidence a foreign adversary is interfering in a U.S. election," said the letter.
Towards the end of the letter, Murphy and Waltz requested that the briefing be held before the 2020 Presidential election, in one week's time.
"We have long argued that our government should err on the side of telling citizens more, not less, when foreign powers interfere with our democracy. Our citizens can then counter the threat by scrutinizing the information they view online, checking their voter registration data to confirm it wasn't tampered with, and holding accountable state and local officials who fail to protect election infrastructure.
"We want to reiterate our view that continued cooperation between federal, state, and local officials to protect our election infrastructure is essential. We believe such cooperation has already resulted in significant improvements.
"Thank you for your attention to this request," the letter concluded.

Intema announces granting of Isle of Man online gambling license
MONTREAL, Dec. 13, 2021 -- Intema Solutions Inc. (" Intema " or the " Corporation ") (TSXV: ITM, OTCMKTS: ITMZF) is very pleased to announce that the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission has approved the granting of an Online Gambling Regulation Act (OGRA) 2001 license to Livestream Esports Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Intema.
"The grant of the Isle of Man gambling license is major news for Intema and will have a significant positive impact on our future activities," said Laurent Benezra, Intema's President and Chief Executive Officer. "In particular, it allows us to comply with one of the TSX Venture Exchange's main conditions for closing the acquisition of Livestream Gaming Inc. (" Livestream "), with its LOOT.BET online gaming platform. It will also enable us to conduct our iGaming activities through one of the world's most prestigious gaming jurisdictions and, once we acquire our LOOT.BET platform, to white-label it to regulated gaming markets on a global scale. Finally, it gives LOOT.BET the same level of credibility as other online gambling platforms, throughout the gaming community and among our peers."
"Once the license is issued, we will proceed with getting final approval from the TSXV and closing the Livestream acquisition, allowing us to start a new chapter of growth for Intema," concluded Mr. Benezra.
The Isle of Man promotes the highest standards of jurisdictional control in the gaming industry, with extremely high ethical standards for owners and investors, making its license one of the toughest to acquire. The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission gives out the fewest licenses per year. In addition, the license granted by that regulatory body has many financial and logistical benefits, and will allow Intema to offer continuously fun, safe and responsible gaming experiences for gamers around the world.
Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders
Intema will hold its annual general and special meeting of shareholders on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. ET. The meeting will be held virtually due to restrictions imposed in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Shareholders are invited to consult the 2022 management proxy circular and other proxy-related materials, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the Corporation's profile.

Scale of displacement across Myanmar 'very difficult to gauge', says UN refugee agency
February 8, 2019 Global Author
Andrej Mahecic, spokesperson for the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) expressed deep concern over the humanitarian impact of the continuing violence and the "potential for both further internal displacement and the outflow of refugees".
"As part of inter-agency efforts, UNHCR stands ready to support the humanitarian response in the affected areas in Myanmar", he stated, noting that more than 720,000 mostly-Muslim Rohingya had fled a 2017 military operation in Rakhine state, which was condemned at the time as being tantamount to genocide, by the then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.

"The scale of it is very difficult to gauge", said Mr. Mahecic. "We understand from some of the reports that say 200 people have sought shelter", but "without effective access in Rakhine, and without effective access in other parts, we can't assess the scope of the current internal displacement as a result of the violence which flared up some time in December last year."
The refugee agency has called on the Government of Bangladesh to continue its policy of offering shelter and support and offered to assess and respond to the needs of civilians who have arrived in the past few weeks, seeking safety from violence in Myanmar.
Since August 2017, nearly 700,000 minority Muslim Rohingyas have fled violence in Myanmar across the border into Bangaldesh's Cox's Bazar, joining several hundred thousand more that were already settled there in overcrowded camps.
"UNHCR is grateful to the Government of Bangladesh for its generosity and the leadership it has shown", Mr. Mahecic said.
During a visit early in the week to the world's largest refugee camp, Kutupalong camp in Bangladesh, UNHCR Special Envoy Angelina Jolie said that it was "deeply upsetting" to meet the families who "have only known persecution and statelessness their whole lives, who speak of being 'treated like cattle'".
She also met Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen in the capital of Dhaka, where she expressed UNHCR's gratitude to the Government and the people of Bangladesh, for their kindness.

Colton also feels that the Adidas Company "promotes healthy image of athletic gear" and that they "care about the health of the customers". She also mentions how the ad is revealing how it not only "promotes a smoke-free lifestyle" but it also shows how "health equals power" (Colton).
Furthermore, there have been many researches done and papers written regarding the very topic of smoking. According to Terri Pettinger, a researcher in the field of health studies at the Alliant International University, "Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of death in the world" (Pettinger). Not only is this a ubiquitous fact, but it is the one of most commonly ignored health warnings in today's society. It is due to these reasons that the audience is being reminded by companies such as Adidas that there are always better alternatives, such as sports. Adidas is known for being a global promoter of health, and often reveal studies that reveal how sports can lead to an increase in one's lifespan. Quite interestingly, Pettinger mentions "smoking accounts for an average reduction in lifespan of 13.2 years" (Pettinger).


1) Peel the potatoes and put them into boiling water and test them with a fork after about 25 to 30 minutes. When tender and falling apart, drain in a colander and set aside to cool.
2) Soak all vegetables in a white vinegar bath and stir them around. I do this in batches. Rinse under cold running water and dry. It is especially important to dry the parsley and cilantro well in a paper towel before mincing. You want to introduce the least possible amount of water into the potato salad.
3) Finely mince the parsley, cilantro, green onions, purple onion, celery, bell peppers and hardboiled eggs and set aside.
4) In a small mixing bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, horseradish and mustard, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, tarragon and paprika.
5) In a large bowl, mix the cooled potatoes, vegetable and egg mixture, and mayo mixture all together. Salad tongs do this well.
6) Transfer to the serving bowl you want to present it in and decorate with parsley sprigs around the sides. Sprinkle a bit of paprika on top of the potato salad and Voila! There is nothing better than homemade potato salad . Be creative and add in your own favorite vegetables. The sky's the limit! A word about Door County products; they are delicious! My Balsamic vinegar was a gift from my daughter and son in law, who grew up in Door County, Wisconsin. Bon Appetit!
