By Rick Garrick
Her lifelong work was inspired by the Ontario Council of Indigenous Arts Award for her life-long work of inspiring the River River – Anishinabak Nation Language Commissioner Barbara Nolan Anisina Abemovin. The prize, which includes $ 10,000, a frame certificate and a locally designed blanket, will be unveiled tomorrow.
"I'm really honored," she said, referring to her nomination for the award in Milan. "I was so honored to be appointed, and I never thought I would receive it. I was shocked to receive a phone call. "
Nolan talks about her work to inspire Anishina Abemovin, who began her career in the 1970s when she developed the first Anishina Abemovin curriculum in Sault Ste. In the area of Marie and the Garden River, it includes immersive videos created by John Paul Montano using stories as a teaching method. The videos are posted on her website, barbaranolan.com.
Nolan says: "I think this is wisdom in itself, and it involves you when you try to convey what the speaker is saying about you without using grammar or meaning in English. It's like building a better way – they show your story in the language.
Nolan says she also taught Anishina Abomwi's teachings and baptismal lessons on the virtual platform, Agula.
"I put down the magnifying glass in my house," says Nolan. I ordered a board and that's where I do my baptismal lessons.
One of the students at the school where she was a child told Anishina Abemovin to her mother-in-law and asked her to teach them. She created her own flash cards and other resources for the curriculum.
"The children were happy to learn the language of their parents and grandparents," says Nolan. "It's a matter of identity. I wanted them to be proud of who they are.
Nolan then received requests from Algoma University and Salt Apple College of Arts to develop Anishina Abeomovin courses.
"Algoma University wanted to release a course of interest and wanted to include Saul College [Anishinaabemowin] And culture as a course in their education, "Nolan said. So I started teaching there but the class was so big that we needed another teacher. So they added another teacher to that program so there were two streams of language and culture for the students.
Nolan also designed the Nishna Abemda app, the Nishina Abemovine app.
As the recipient of the Indigenous Art Prize, Nolan was invited to nominate a growing artist or artistic leader for the $ 2,500 award-winning artist Lorette, so she chose Cindy, an indefinite state linguist and craftsman. Wemmigans for a prize.
"Cindy Wemigwans should be recognized for her efforts to preserve her language and culture," says Nolan. After becoming an outspoken speaker of Nishnaab, she focused on sharing this knowledge with the next generation – both as a teacher and as a mother. She directs your student N to work with Nishna Abemwin in beadwork and skincare, creating important connections between language management and other aspects of their culture.
Wemigwans, a language teacher with the Rainbow District School Board, serves as vice president of the Nawewin Gamik Nishnaabemwin Language Nest Executive Committee in Dogming, South Bay. She also offers after-school courses where students learn about traditional handicrafts in the Anishina Abemovin language-immersion area.

Twenty-three young Australians have won the right to join a team who will train towards selection to represent Australia at the 45th WorldSkills International Competition in Russia, in 2019.

The Skills Squad team members, who range in age from 17 to 23, will spend the next 10 months working with a dedicated training manager for the chance of being selected to represent Australia at the world's biggest skills excellence competition, where the best young apprentices and trainees from more than 70 nations will compete for the title of World Champion in Kazan, Russia, in August 2019.
Skills Squad team members have been selected from a broad array of trades and skills, ranging from traditional trades such as Bricklaying and Cabinetmaking to skills of the future including Cloud Computing and IT Network Systems Administration. The team of 23 includes five females in the trade/skill areas of 3D Digital Game Art, Car Painting, Beauty Therapy, Fashion Technology and Graphic Design Technology.
At the last international championships, held in 2017 in Abu Dhabi, Australia finished the competition in 10th position in the WorldSkills International rankings.
WorldSkills Australia CEO Brett Judd said the goal in 2019 was to "maintain and improve on Australia's top 10 finish".
"Representing Australia at the World Championships, which can be likened to a skill Olympics, would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Skills Squad team members and we are committed to provide them with the best opportunity to prove that they should be selected to compete in Russia next year," he said.
"Many of the skills being represented are in the skills shortage areas for Australia. For WorldSkills to have outstanding competitors in these areas is very encouraging and an absolute credit to the competitors, their training providers and employers."
Mr Judd congratulated them on their selection as a Skills Squad team member and said Skills Squad members would need to show dedication, commitment and excellence to be chosen to represent Australia in Russia.
"It's wonderful to see the opportunities these young people are being given through their trades and skills."
Mr Judd also recognised and congratulated the training managers on their appointments and applauded them for their commitments to developing their industries and mentoring the Skills Squad members.
A training camp will be held in early September for Skills Squad members and their training managers to develop training programs.

These New iPhone 8 and iPhone 7S Rumors Are More Surprising Than You Would Think
It's that time of year again where the tech industry goes into overdrive, publishing even the wildest rumors about the latest iPhone models from Apple. While we've already seen the usual mixture of down-to-earth and far-fetched rumors about the iPhone 7S and 8, some of those going around are not only pretty convincing- they are also very surprising. We expect major changes to iphone screen repair seattle due to these updates. This year marks the 10-year anniversary of the iPhone, so many people suspect there will be a significant redesign of the phone. One of the more convincing rumors being thrown about is that the latest iPhones will ditch the large borders around the screen which have been a key part of the iPhone look, and instead opt for a screen that runs all the way to the edge. This would bring Apple in line with other phone manufacturers like Samsung, and it's fairly certain that this is one rumor which will turn out to be true.
Expect more Glass Repairs for the iPhone 8 in Seattle
Another significant potential redesign could be the introduction of an all-glass iPhone. Many people are firmly against this move, as it could potentially make the already notoriously fragile iPhones even more prone to damage. However, an all-glass design would at least allow the new iPhones to incorporate wireless charging- and again, this is something which is becoming the standard in the latest phone models across the board.
Seattle iPhone 8 Camera Repairs are More Complicated
Just last week, Apple accidentally released the firmware for their upcoming HomePod smart speaker, before quickly withdrawing it again. However, they weren't fast enough to prevent savvy coders from taking a look through that firmware- and within it, they found dozens of references to a facial-recognition camera. This makes it extremely likely that there will be such a camera in the upcoming iPhone 7S and iPhone 8, especially since Apple have already incorporated fingerprint recognition into recent iPhone models.
Is this the end of iPhone Home Button Repair in Seattle? No more Home Button on the iPhone?
Also buried in that firmware was one line of code that's really surprised a lot of people: "deviceHasHomeButton, 0". In programmer speak, that means there isn't one. So, what would replace the home button? There's reference to a "home indicator", which would seem to be a virtual home button that can appear and disappear on the screen as and when needed.
Of course, the demise of the home button would seemingly mean an end to fingerprint recognition. This makes the facial recognition camera even more likely, so that users would still be able to unlock their iPhone without inputting the passcode. According to some reports, Apple has been trying to find a way of putting the fingerprint sensor below the screen, but this hasn't been going too well. The fingerprint sensor might therefore make a comeback a year or two down the line, but for now, it seems like it won't be making an appearance this time around.
Of course, the only way we'll find out if these rumors are true is to wait for the official unveiling of the iPhone 7S and iPhone 8. Until then, though, it appears that the latest models will present a significant change to Apple's flagship product, and while extra features will probably make an appearance, we could well see the demise of not only the phone's signature front design, but also the home button as well.

For the third time since 1988, the Penya Blaugrana de Sant Vicenç de Castellet is organising the Bages, Berguedà and La Cerdanya Supporters Clubs Meeting, a region where passion for Barça has always been high and where the club presided by Josep Gomáriz has been doing it proud for 38 years.
FC Barcelona first vice-president Jordi Cardoner i Casaus will be representing the board in the company of Jaume Carreter of the Social Commission and former players Ricardo Serna and Juan Manuel Asensi.
The club's doors will be open from 10.00 to offer food and drinks before a procession is set to start an hour later and wind up outside the Town Hall, where they will be received by local mayor Joan Torres. In July of this year, the mayor presented the council's top medal to Josep Gomáriz in recognition of what he has done for social life in the town and for what the Penya has done to promote the community's image.
The events will then switch to the local library, where a number of prizes and awards will be presented, and at 12.45 there will be a Latino Swing concert until the speeches start at 13.45, followed by a gala dinner that is sure to attract hundreds of Barça supporters.

A massive lawsuit filed by 44 states accuses 20 major drug makers of colluding for years to inflate prices on more than 100 generic drugs, including those to treat HIV, cancer, and depression. If true, the alleged behavior is not just a violation of antitrust law, but also a betrayal of the government policies that created and defended the entire generic drug industry.

Una presa es una barrera a lo largo de un cauce que obstruye, directamente o lentamente el flujo creando un embalse o lago artificial. La mayor parte de las presas tienen una sección llamada aliviadero o vertedero que vierte el agua sobrante y que rebosa del embalse.

Las presas son consideradas "instalaciones que contienen fuerzas peligrosas" dentro del Derecho Internacional Humanitario y su rotura puede generar en algunos casos un importante impacto sobre la población y el medio ambiente. Las roturas de presas son raras en comparación con otro tipo de instalaciones, pero son capaces de generar un daño enorme y provocar la pérdida de un gran número de vidas humanas. Los ingenieros deben de ser capaces de prevenir el riesgo que supone.

Normativa en España
España es uno de los países del mundo con más presas, lo que ha llevado a las instituciones a crear una normativa específica en cuestión de seguridad de presas. La normativa más importante a aplicar es:
 Directiva de Planificación de Protección Civil ante el riesgo de inundaciones
 Reglamento Técnico sobre Seguridad de Presas y Embalses de 1996
 Título VII del Reglamento de Dominio Público Hidráulico: Seguridad de Presas, Embalses y Balsas de 2008

Las presas en España se clasifican en función de sus dimensiones o el impacto que podría generar su rotura:
 Por sus dimensiones (2008):
 Gran presa en caso de que la presa tenga más de 15 metros de altura o tenga una altura entre 10 y 15 metros y tenga un volumen superior a 1 hm3.
 Pequeña presa, aquella que no es gran presa.
 Por su riesgo:
 Riesgo A cuando su rotura pudiera afectar a núcleos importantes, produciendo daños personales e importantes daños materiales.
 Riesgo B cuando su rotura pudiera afectar a poblaciones pequeñas, con daños materiales importantes.
 Riesgo C cuando su rotura pudiera ocasionar daños moderados.
Para las presas de riesgo A y B es obligatorio elaborar un plan de emergencia que debe contener:
 1. Análisis de seguridad de la presa
 2. Zonificación territorial y análisis generado por los riesgos de rotura
 3. Normas de actuación
 4. Organización
 5. Medios y recursos.
Además las presas deben pasar una revisión de seguridad en función de su categoría.

Principales causas de rotura
Las causas más comunes son:
 Diseño erróneo del aliviadero. Si el aliviadero no es capaz de evacuar el flujo causado por una lluvia extrema, como consecuencia, el nivel del agua del embalse por encima del nivel máximo de proyecto, lo que a su vez puede causar los siguientes problemas: (i) el agua pasa por encima del coronamiento y causa erosiones que acaban destruyendo la presa; (ii) el macizo de la presa no resiste la presión de un nivel de agua más elevado; (iii) la mayor presión del agua en el embalse abre caminos de infiltración, a través del macizo de la presa, el eventual arrastre de material, puede llegar a crear un boquete y el derrumbe de la presa;
 Diseño erróneo del macizo de la presa, o de la cimentación de la misma. El diseño de una presa es un problema complejo que involucra un equipo de profesionales capacitados. En varios países se establecen normas mínimas de seguridad en el diseño de las presas. El cumplimiento de estos requisitos debería minimizar el riesgo de roturas por esta causa;
 Inestabilidad geológica causada por cambios en el nivel del agua. Puede considerarse que esta causa es también una deficiencia de diseño, al no hacerse las investigaciones geológicas y geofísicas suficientes para poder diseñar la presa con la necesaria seguridad. (Malpasset);
 Por lluvia extrema, casos de la presa Shakidor y una de las causas que rompió la presa de Tous. Las lluvias extremas están asociadas a la capacidad de descarga del aliviadero. No existe una lluvia extrema como concepto absoluto. Las lluvias extremas están asociadas a un período medio de retorno.
 Por dejadez en el mantenimiento de las tuberías de salida, casos de Val di Stava y el lago Lawn.
 Error humano o informático en la secuencia de operación de la presa. Caso de Buffalo Creek, Dale Dike y Taum Sauk.
 Debido a la acción sísmica. La estabilidad de las presas, en fase de elaboración del diseño, se analiza también para resistir a sismos de una cierta magnitud, que se llama sismo de proyecto. Por razones económicas algunas veces el dueño de la presa establece como "sismo de proyecto" una magnitud de sismo muy baja. Caso se produzca un sismo de mayor magnitud, la presa puede sufrir daños que pueden llegar hasta la ruptura de la misma. Otras veces se toma en consideración un sismo de proyecto de una magnitud adecuada, en algunos países dicha magnitud está fijada por normas de cumplimiento obligatorio, sin embargo siempre puede producirse un sismo de magnitud mayor y causar problemas.

LEARNING ABOUT FORESTS
Home ProgramLearning About Forests
The vision of LEAF is to see an increased awareness and knowledge on the key functions forest play for a sustainable life on earth.
Learning about Forests' mission is to spread environmental education concerning forests and all their values among school children all around the world, through the action-oriented, participatory and positive methods of the Programme.
The programme aims at involving a child in practical forestry education to appreciate the crucial forests functions developing responsiveness and proactively create positive change in the environment. Stimulating activities that will help students reach a higher degree of environmental maturity irrespective of age, stage and previous experience
Planting of trees is conducted as a part of the ordinary education. A number of schools in Uganda are joining the tree planting campaign. The planting activities are done as a part of environmental activities concerning the key role forests plays in the climate change debate in schools.
The programme reflects on all the functions forests fulfill for people; cultural, ecological, economical and social. Multiple-use of forests is a reality all over the world. Understanding the balance between those uses is crucial when studying how humans interact with forests. The planting of trees is the planting of ideas. "By starting with the simple act of planting a tree, we give hope to ourselves and to future generations". – Wangari Maathai
The LEAF programme encourages environmental education through awareness raising among students, teachers and the wider community. The LEAF programme aligns itself with Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), the Global Action Programme (GAP) and the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The LEAF programme is operated in a thematic manner. Participating countries encourage schools to work on the current LEAF theme. The programme looks at all the functions of forests.
The forest cycle
The Forest Cycle methodology is a series of carefully engineered measures to help schools maximise the success of their LEAF ambitions. The method involves a wide diversity of individuals from the school community - with students playing a primary role in the process. Schools work through the cycle and once they have successfully completed the cycle the school applies for the LEAF Award. Once a school is awarded, it can be renewed every year. For a school to be considered for the prestigious award they must fulfill certain criteria. While the LEAF Award will be given to schools that complete all the essential elements of the Forest Cycle, it should be remembered that the programme is flexible, and that different countries will find different routes to achieving the LEAF Award.
Step I: Set up a Forest Committee
The Committee aims to direct and address all phases of the LEAF programme.
Step II: Research
Schools conduct awareness surveys to assess the levels of awareness in relation to forests and chosen LEAF theme.
Step III: Action Plan
Implement actions that help raise awareness about forests and chosen theme. Stimulate activities that help reach the goals and objectives of LEAF.
Sep IV: Check and report progress
To show increased levels of awareness and change of behavior.
Step V: Inform and Involve
Spread the LEAF message throughout the whole school and the wider community
Step VI: Forest Code
Decide on the common code of the forest and let others know about it.
The Foundation for Environmental Education, has agreed upon these eight Educational Principles to guide our work towards excellence in Environmental Education/Education for Sustainable Development.
Ensure that participants are engaged in the learning/teaching process
Empower participants to take informed decisions and actions on real life sustainability issues
Encourage participants to work together actively and involve their communities in collaborative solutions
Support participants to examine their assumptions, knowledge, and experiences, in order to develop critical thinking, and to be open to change
Encourage participants to be aware of cultural practices as an integral part of sustainability issues
Encourage participants to share inspirational stories of their achievements, failures, and values, to learn from them, and to support each other
Continuously explore, test, and share innovative approaches, methodologies, and techniques
Ensure that continuous improvements through monitoring and evaluation are central to our programmes. Read More LEAF Profile

Eli Purks – "Music Is A Revelation" – Constructed with a discerning ear
Staff — May 19, 2020
It may be 2030, but don't ever think for a second that the power of funk and disco has totally gone away. Eli Purks takes these flavors and blends it into his explosive pop aesthetic on his latest single release "Music Is A Revelation" – a true bass-heavy and jangly guitar throwback that also just so happens to be one of the best groove tracks of the year. Purks marries the worlds of '70s dance and funk with modern pop music, pulling the track into 2020 with ease.
From the very first moments, when the guitar jangles rush in, it's clear that "Music Is A Revelation" is fire. Skittering hi-hats and a tight drum kick sets the stage for the modern funky tune before Eli Purks kicks in with the resonating vocals.
"Music is a revelation. All your inhibitions go," sings Eli Purks. "Music is my life. Music is my soul." The lyrics aren't particularly deep, but it is not meant to be. The largest focus is on having a good time.
This is a dance track, and this song succeeds on pulling you to the dancefloor, and that's its main purpose. In fact one aspect which needs to be made clear, is that "Music Is A Revelation" doesn't set out to be anything more than a fun, catchy and danceable song. And Purk nails it!
Eli Purks truly sells his vocals on this one, though his aptitude for the craft is already well-known. As expected, he gives a great vocal performance, riding the rhythm throughout.
Crowning the song of the summer has become an annual tradition akin to the Super Bowl for music pundits. These songs usually are the soundtracks for the happiest moments of your life, and the timely release of "Music Is A Revelation" puts it in line for the title.
However, if you're going to peddle nostalgia in this day and age, where history becomes a quick commodity and is practically an affliction, you have to go the whole hog and do it authentically. Eli Purks knows this: It's exactly what he's done on "Music Is A Revelation".
The young man has charisma and charm in spades, and in an age of mumble-mouth and emo pop voices, Purks' clear, unapologetic tenor is a blessing. Moreover, his crystalline enunciation keeps you looped in and listening.
Constructed with a discerning ear, strong in production and composition, and just effortlessly cool throughout, "Music Is A Revelation" simply bangs in all its glory. This will make you dance even when you don't want to.
Part of the track's charm is Eli Purks' enthusiasm and eagerness to please. Hence the overall effort sounds highly-crafted and polished. I suspect that's exactly why people are going to like it. Watch out for this one, it's going straight to the top of the charts somewhere.

Home/News/The European Union, WHO and World Vision join hands to support Sri Lanka's COVID-19 health response
The European Union, WHO and World Vision join hands to support Sri Lanka's COVID-19 health response
Ceylon DigestOctober 29, 2021
The European Union (EU) has announced a further EUR 2 million in funding to help Sri Lanka in its efforts to manage the pandemic. The grant, provided by the EU humanitarian office ECHO, will be channelled through the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Vision in Sri Lanka. These resources complement ongoing EU support to fight the Covid-19 and its socioeconomic consequences in Srilanka, including EUR 2 million for the health sector as well as close to EUR 4 million to revitalize the tourism industry.
"Healthcare staff and facilities in Sri Lanka are being pushed to the limit by the pandemic," said Michelle Cicic, who oversees EU humanitarian assistance in Asia-Pacific. "The EU and Sri Lanka have worked together to battle COVID-19 since the onset of the pandemic. This latest support will ensure that emergency equipment and supplies are quickly channelled to health facilities in dire need of life-saving assistance."
"This new grant is part of the EU's global response to the coronavirus pandemic to 'build back better' and it complements our ongoing partnership with WHO in Sri Lanka," said the Ambassador of the EU Delegation in Sri Lanka, H.E. Denis Chaibi. "The additional resources will be instrumental in improving healthcare capacity and hopefully help also preventing future surges of cases, while paying special attention to the needs of the most vulnerable people and underserved areas."
WHO has conducted an assessment of health facilities and identified the gaps in emergency preparedness and response. In response, WHO will support the management of severe cases in 74 hospitals by providing medical equipment and supplies; enhance surveillance and rapid testing capacities with 100,000 new rapid antigen test kits and provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to healthcare workers to protect them from infections and ensure continuity of essential services.
World Vision will enhance COVID-19 prevention, care and treatment capacity of the health system in four provinces. World Vision will provide equipment such as pulse oximeters, oxygen regulators, multiparameter monitors, ECG machines, nebulizers and hospital beds to 29 health facilities. In addition, it will support vaccination campaigns targeting vulnerable groups.
"WHO appreciates the EU's partnership supporting Sri Lanka's COVID-19 effort," said Dr Alaka Singh, WHO Representative to Sri Lanka. "The flexibility of the funding allows responsiveness to immediate needs. This has been seen with the supply of urgent life-saving equipment to hospitals, testing kits and protective equipment. At the same time, longer-term support continues, making important contributions to health systems' recovery and resilience."
"World Vision Lanka commenced its response to Covid-19 in March 2020 reaching over 500,000 people within the year," said Dr. Dhanan Senathirajah, national director of World Vision Lanka, "Our response continued to evolve along with the needs. We have so far supported over 6,000 hospitals and care centres with essential health equipment, and with this funding, we will be able to broaden our reach and support the most vulnerable during this crucial time."

If you're asking me, the answer is absolutely.
But it might not be for the reasons you'd think.
it's the largest, most popular content management system in the world.
Almost 20% of new websites are built using WordPress!
Fancy! But none of those perks convinced me to get started.
The real reason I think you should learn WordPress?
It's pretty simple: The clients want it.
When I started learning to code a few years ago, my first few paying projects were simple sites built with HTML & CSS.
Will I be able to edit this later? Can I add a blog in a few months? What if I want to sell products? Can I do that? Can I have a template for making sales pages?
Even now, the thought of building a blog from scratch, or creating a template a client could actually use? It's enough to make my head spin.
And that's actually what makes WordPress SO amazing.
Before WordPress, if you wanted to build a site with a blog or a sales page, you'd have to start from scratch and customize every. little. thing. As a beginner, that would be pretty intimidating.
But WordPress is a fully functional web application out-of-the-box. You don't have to build the blog—you can just start using it! It's like having an entire team of developers at your fingertips, ready to do your bidding.
Because WordPress allows you to build sites with so much functionality—think custom menus, fancy effects, online stores, etc.—it is incredibly valuable to clients. You can charge much higher rates even when you're just starting out, because WordPress helps you build sites with all the bells and whistles.
Shucks, you missed it! This webinar summit happened July 28, 2016! But that's okay! You can watch ALL the full replays for free by clicking the link below. And trust me, you don't want to miss these! We're showing you exactly how to get started with WordPress and start making money right out of the gate.
Adda is the founder and CEO of Skillcrush and a self-taught developer. She's going to share the story of how she used WordPress to build Skillcrush, and exactly why she recommends that beginners in tech learn WordPress (hint: it's where the clients are).
I'll talk about just what makes WordPress such an in-demand skill, and how I recommend YOU start using WordPress to break into tech and start earning money. Plus, I'll be taking you behind the scenes of our Freelance WordPress Developer Blueprint.
Sarah Eggers is a web designer and WordPress developer who helps creative bloggers realize their small business dreams. A 2-time Skillcrush alum, Sarah merges her WordPress knowhow with her design background and passion for social media to run a side business that is 100% her own. She'll share why she chooses to side hustle (and work as a marketing technologist 9–5), plus give you her best advice for making money with your new WordPress skills.
Caro Griffin is a freelance WordPress developer who spends most of her time in the classroom (she manages our team of instructors here at Skillcrush!).
She's going to talk about an issue that is SO important to your success if you're ready to start coding: finding a supportive community. She'll explain why community is absolutely crucial to learning to code and finding clients, plus share her best tips for finding (or building!) a community when you feel like you don't know anyone.
Beth is a graphic designer who discovered a love for web development. Now she specializes in creating custom, from-scratch WordPress sites for creative small businesses and collaborating with other designers who need their projects transformed into code. Beth is going to share how she made the transition from "just learning" to getting paying clients (and how you can too), and how learning to code can upgrade your career.
A few years ago, Shannon found herself in a 9-to-5 life that made her miserable, tinkering with WordPress on the side. Now she is a freelance WordPress developer and the founder of WP+BFF, a site devoted to helping beginners get unstuck and conquer WordPress. She'll share how to overcome crippling self-doubt, make the jump into freelancing, and build websites that make more money in a week than you make in a month at your desk job.


The final piece of a financial package is now in place that will allow an international meat processor to expand operations in Waterloo and add hundreds of jobs to the local economy.
The Waterloo City Council unanimously approved a tax abatement plan for Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., Monday night (Sept. 25, 2017). Under the plan, additional property tax that Tyson would pay on the $28 million project will increase incrementally over the next five years instead of the total being assessed the first year.
Tyson executives announced the multi-million dollar expansion and renovation project on Friday after the Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded the company nearly $2.4 million in tax incentives. The company plans to build a new 56,000 square-foot distribution warehouse in Waterloo and remodel another 18,000 square-feet of space at its existing manufacturing facility to add more production lines.
The project is expected to create 245 jobs with hourly wages of $17.29 or higher. Tyson hopes to begin hiring new workers within six months.
Tyson currently employs 2,900 workers at its Waterloo production plant, making it the city's second-largest manufacturing employer.

Free & Open Internet, Media Accountability, Diversity in Media Ownership

We search for the right words to respond to the violence on Wednesday in Washington, but we'll try.
A mob incited by the sitting president of the United States attacked the Capitol to try to subvert the results of a democratic election. Bearing Confederate flags and other white-supremacist symbols, the insurrectionists ransacked our nation's seat of government. Five people lost their lives.
At the same time, Black, Muslim, immigrant and other people who have been violently attacked and killed for protesting for basic human rights watched as the attempted coup was met with minimal law-enforcement response — underscoring their long-held knowledge of whom the police actually serve and protect.
We're saddened to see the destruction in hallways we have walked many times, worried for the safety of our friends and colleagues in a city we have called home, and angry that so many warnings went unheeded.
We are living through a pandemic, racism, authoritarianism, an environmental crisis, state-sanctioned violence and oppression against people of color and other marginalized communities — not to mention the trauma, sickness, isolation and stress so many are enduring personally.
At Free Press, we focus on media and technology. And these awful times have shown us time and again how much media and tech are woven into these overlapping crises, how they can help and how they can make things much, much worse.
The attack on Congress was our latest painful reminder of what happens when companies like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube fail to act not just against Donald Trump but against anyone who uses these platforms to incite violence and spread hate, conspiracies and disinformation.
We call again on all social-media platforms to permanently take down Trump for his countless violations and unquestionable danger to our democracy; to remove all people and organizations seeking to amplify and organize racism, violence and other threats to democracy; and to ban calls to arms across their sites. We urge these companies to take the concrete actions proposed by the Change the Terms coalition and others to stop the spread of hate and violence.
We must also confront the role that broadcast and cable TV have played in fomenting hate and disinformation. Time and again these outlets have propped up Trump and his election conspiracies, aired lies about the pandemic, and so much more. Fox News, Sinclair, Newsmax, OANN and others have abandoned journalism in favor of dangerous propaganda and incendiary hoaxes — all of which have pushed our country to the brink.
All of this has been allowed to happen due to government policies that have given a few powerful companies control of the media while ensuring racism remains a central part of the system's DNA. Lawmakers, regulators and these companies must be held accountable for creating and exploiting that system. And that's just a start.
In two weeks, we'll have a new presidential administration alongside a new Congress. There will be much talk of repair — and that's important. But the need for repair goes far beyond what happened on Wednesday or even the past four years.
We have yet to truly reckon with centuries of racism and white supremacy that have shaped our government, our media, ourselves. We need truth and reconciliation. We need reparations to repair historical harms that our government and media institutions have inflicted on the Black community in promoting and upholding white supremacy in our society.
And we need to seize this critical juncture not as a moment to return to the status quo but as a moment to radically expand what's possible in Washington (and not just Washington). We need to redesign the policies and structures to operate in ways that actually help people, that improve their lives, that build community, that create opportunity, that pursue justice.
We remain committed, as our mission statement says, to change the media to transform democracy to realize a just society. That mission has never been more urgent.

A World Premiere: Wasp Network Final Cut
3 years ago by Annie Iezzi • 5 min read
A real-life drama to rival that of cinema, the story of the Cuban Five in Wasp Network captivated its audience at the New York Film Festival this fall. The film was shaped by Fernando Morais' nonfiction account of the events, The Last Soldiers of the Cold War, and directed by Olivier Assayas. These talent powerhouses, in addition to the movie's star-studded cast of Penélope Cruz, Edgar Ramírez, Wagner Moura, and Gael García Bernal, drew quite the crowd to the world premiere of the movie's final cut. Before the screening, the Walter Reade Theater filled to the brim with film-buffs and commoners like myself, anticipating an impassioned portrayal of not just the political impact, but the human emotion, involved in the arrest of the Cuban Five and its ensuing turmoil.
The film begins in silence. Captions scroll across the screen, situating the audience within the political upheaval of the early 1990's in Cuba and the United States. There were claims of attacks against Cuba by anti-Castro, U.S. based exile groups that were to be countered by "La Red Avispa," or the Wasp Network. Members of the Wasp Network, primarily Cuban defectors turned intelligence agents for Cuba, infiltrated CANF, the Cuban American National Foundation and others, to dismantle them from the inside out.
The black screen fades into a bright and hectically colorful Cuban morning in the household of Olga, played by Penélope Cruz. She and her husband, René, prepare their daughter for school, all the while speaking in a tender and rapid-fire Spanish that is the language of the film. The audience is treated to a jovial family atmosphere that is shattered when René defects from the Cuban air force on what would be a normal day of work, flying the plane to the coast of Florida. He makes this jump just as the post-Soviet Union economic collapse is sending shockwaves through his home country, making life not only difficult, but dangerous too. In the ensuing years, Olga seethes with anger and a continuing love for René, who she considers a traitor, while raising her daughter to be compassionate towards him. Olga works tirelessly to move to the United States to reunite her family, only to be blocked at every turn by a suspicious Cuban government.
Now established in Florida, René becomes an undercover agent working for Jose Basulto at the "Brothers to the Rescue" group, one which purports humanitarian aid but actually supports violent acts of anti-Castro terrorism, like hotel bombings aimed at shaking the country's tourism industry. The organization is hazily defined and funded by covert drug operations, which René is firmly opposed to.
Cut to Juan Pablo Roque, played by Wagner Moura, nearly drowning in his dangerous defection across Guantanamo Bay, a notoriously shark-infested waterway. His good looks and charisma define him, as his allegiance flips between the terrorist groups, the Cuban defectors, and the United States government– for which he is an FBI informant, a position refused by René. Roque's arc is characterized by his hunger for money and influence, as he marries the beautiful Ana Margarita Martinez in an extravagant wedding, before leaving her and the life they created to return to Cuba.
The importance of these two characters is underpinned by the work of one man: Gerardo Hernandez, played by Gael Garcia Bernal, who covertly runs the Wasp Network, first in Havana, and then in the United States. His introduction comes far later in the film than that of the others, an artistic choice that illustrates the opaqueness of the organizations but seems confusing for the audience.
The exploits of this team come to a head with the monitoring and eventual arrest of all of the intelligence agents, on the grounds that they were conducting intelligence for a foreign country on United States soil. The anguish that this causes, and the trauma weighing on the wives and children of these operatives throughout their trials, is the main thrust of the film. We are witness to Olga's efforts to shield her daughter from the pain of life without a father. Her relationship with René is torn asunder, and she is forced to leave her baby girl with her grandmother in the United States. A heartbreaking goodbye between a mother and her child, who is too young to know what is happening, is a window into the undue pain wreaked upon the misunderstood intelligence group and their families.
Assayas points to the hypocrisy of the American government, which tolerates terrorist organizations on the grounds that they are ingratiated with the CIA, at the expense of individuals who take the fall. The film warmly portrays these operatives, revealing the minutiae of their lives and traumas, as the cast explained in the press conference that followed the film. He expressed to the audience: "I wanted to try to articulate the human and historical" aspects of the story, in which "individuals [were] lost in the chaos of that time." To this end, Assayas is successful in inspiring empathy.
The actors, however, never met their real-life counterparts. Cruz testifies that she didn't meet the real Olga, nor did she try to do so. Her drive in portraying the character was to make sure that she was "treated with respect and from a base of information beyond [my] own interpretation." Ramiréz agreed, sharing that "it's about creating a painting, not a photocopy of those characters." The crew justifies their approach twofold. First, the actors firmly believe that the story told in Wasp Network is outside the scope of any specific character's essence. Second, the actors felt that they could most accurately develop their characters under the auspice of creative freedom. As an additional note, those portrayed in the film were largely unhappy with the adaptation of their story for the silver screen, so any contact may not have been welcome.
Despite the moral quandary of telling a purposefully hidden story, Assayas divulged that he was "obsessed with being fair," especially during the editing process. The final cut that debuted at the New York Film Festival was void of many of the facts that previously bogged down the film, but it retained enough historical information to accurately depict its events. This, in his eyes, increased the continuity and fluidity of the film by decreasing the amount of times that the audience was wrenched into a historical perspective. This fairness extends even to the Cuban accents of the actors, which were painstakingly honed to "share the same beat," in which, "one sentence is one word."
The entire main cast identifies as Latinx, although none are Cuban, while the supporting cast is comprised entirely of Cuban actors filming in their home country. This authenticity was evident in the shooting of the film, the bulk of which took place on Cuban soil. Even one scene in a jail was shot in the prison Gran Canaria, much to the chagrin of Cruz, who was concerned about bringing a baby into such a dangerous area. "I'm gonna be your mommy for a while," she told the infant, and it immediately latched on to her, as is apparent in the familial scenes that are interspersed in the historical drama. The actress shares intimate moments with her faux daughter, and the actors confirmed that they triggered real tears from the child's real parents.
Tears were triggered for many in the audience throughout the course of the film, one which gives a small window into the personal life of the extremely public, and often misrepresented, Cuban defectors known as the Cuban Five.

The Crew has artificial 30fps lock on PC
UPDATE: Ubisoft "aiming" for 60fps with final game.
News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director
Updated on 26 Aug 2014
UPDATE: Ubisoft has changed tack and said it is "aiming" for 60fps for the launch version of The Crew on PC.
Writing on the Ubisoft forum, community manager Natchai said the developers were "working on getting 60fps for PC".
"The reason you could alter the FPS in the config file is because our team is actually working on getting 60fps for PC. The reason why it hasn't been communicated before this is because we didn't want to make a promise we couldn't deliver on.
"But read this correctly:
"We are aiming at a 60fps on PC for the launch of the game and the actual beta doesn't represent the final game."
ORIGINAL STORY: The closed beta for the PC version of promising racing game The Crew is up and running, and players have expressed their surprise at the discovery of an artificial 30 frames per second lock.
"SeemsLegit.jpg" took to Ubisoft's forum to complain about the frame-rate of the PC version, and revealed that it is possible to change it to 60 - but only if you dig into the game's files.
Apparently setting The Crew to higher than 60 doesn't work - the game forces the frame-rate back down to 60.
The thread sparked a response from Ubisoft community manager Valentin, who confirmed The Crew runs at 30 frames per second on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
"The final game will run in 1080p with 30 frames per second on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, and will support up to 5760*1080p on PC for triple screen set-ups. Right now the team is focusing on providing an optimal experience for all players," Valentin wrote, before acknowledging the ability to up the frame-rate within the game files - but at players' own risk.
"You can unlock it in the file you've found, but it may affect the game's performances. Your call."
Fellow community manager Natchai added: "As for the people complaining about the artificial 30fps lock, you can see that there are ways users are unlocking more fps. We don't officially support that... but ye..."
UK community manager Mr_Shade also chimed in: "He did say you can unlock it.. for best performance on a range of hardware, it's locked to 30 when installed. User can unlock if they think the PC can handle it, but you may see the odd performance hitch."
So there you have it. Ubisoft didn't have anything to add when contacted by Eurogamer. The Crew is out in November 2014.

North American bus manufacturer, New Flyer Industries Inc and Alexander Dennis Ltd (ADL) have amicably agreed to end their joint venture. The businesses are to move the manufacture of their medium duty MiDi bus from New Flyer's St. Cloud, Minnesota plant to Alexander Dennis's new facility in Nappanee, Indiana in the fourth quarter of 2017. In 2012, the companies entered into an agreement to collaborate and introduce a medium-duty low-floor bus in North America. Since 2014, 200 Buy America compliant MiDi buses have been deployed. The range will now be re-branded as Enviro200.
ADL's North American presence dates back to 2004 when Alexander Dennis Inc (ADI) was formed. Going forward, ADI is to take responsibility for all aspects of customer interaction, sales and support of the Enviro200 range in North America. Over the next six months, it is to work with New Flyer to ensure a seamless transition. Taking complete ownership of the range is the latest in a series of investments made by the company in North America. In January, Alexander Dennis took full control of the assets and facility lease at the manufacturing facility in Nappanee, Indiana where the Enviro500 tri-axle double decks have been produced under a contract manufacturing agreement with Ameritrans/ABC since September 2014.

»Racist« Newton's apple
The University of Cape Town is notorious for student uprisings. Surprisingly, these are more common after the abolition of apartheid, as future "intellectuals" are disturbed by every little thing. They have meetings more often than they study, and the occurrence in 2016, when riots broke out that became known as the "Shackville protests and activism," is not surprising.
An aspiring black student said at one of the many activist sessions, which are recorded and circulated on social media, that current science needs to be re-done. She argued that science is a concept of the white people and as such racist. She mentioned Isaac Newton and how gravity is a Western fiction. When one of the audience members suggested that black magic – which is still widely practiced in the old continent – is fiction, she replied: "Look, such a response is exactly the reason why I'm not majoring in sciences". Although we learned that a young girl is not exactly familiar with mathematics and physics, we can still claim with certaainity that a ripe banana or coconut in Africa does not fall upwards, but, like Newton's apple, vertically downwards.
It's hard to believe a student doesn't know this. If she truly believed in the spells of tribal sorcerers, she would make a "scientific" experiment to test them. She would jump out of the window on the fourth floor of the reading room and observe what would happen: whether she would fly or crash to the sidewalk. It seems she is actually upset about the fact that all the laws of mathematics and physics are named after white people and that almost all laws have been discovered or written by Europeans.
The latter are not to be blamed for their success; nature ensured they evolved in a certain way. The environment in Europe is much harsher than the warm climate of the Black Continent. To feed and sustain themselves from generation to generation, ancestors of modern Europeans had to think hard and invent. On the other hand, that was not necessary in Africa, where all one had to do to get food was to lie under a tree and wait for the ripe fruit to fall right into one's lap and run fast to escape dangerous situations. Thus, nature has made people further north more intelligent than the inhabitants of the southern places, to whom "colonized" science has given cars, televisions, air conditioners, smartphones, and medicines. If we kept all this to ourselves and did not share it with others, the world population would be limited to two billion people with Europe being the most populated continent and certainly more indigenous.
Although the above is true and easily provable, it will probably be labeled a racist generalization by empathic righteous and political correctmen. For now, this is enough. "Merely" because Brussels announced an "action plan to combat racism", which will set out for the next five years measures that the Member States will have to fully implement to avoid punishments. Above all, they will have to "strengthen the legal framework", mostly in a way to adapt criminal law that will ensure as many (potential) "racists" as possible are locked up. Additionally, this will have to be reported to a Special Coordinator, which is reminiscent of some other times when regional and local communist committees had to report to headquarters how many opponents of the revolution were imprisoned or thrown into caves. If the leaders were not satisfied with the reported number, they reprimanded or replaced the "ineffective" committee.
In Brussels, they will do so in the name of the motto "United in diversity" or "for more diversity (…) in the European Union". (Although Europe (and with it the European Union) is already very diverse today.) It is a philosophy of "do what I demand while I do what I want", which will ultimately lead to sheep not only having wool, but five legs as well. And the sheep will have to believe it, otherwise they will quickly end up at a lamb feast. I just hope that the lessons so far on where this leads, have been revealing enough. Otherwise, it will be necessary to not stockpile on toilet paper, but also on reservations at cemeteries.
