Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, was the scene of important events during the civil rights struggle. In 1957, nine African-American students, known as the "Little Rock Nine" were denied entrance to the school in defiance of the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court decison which had ordered integration of public schools. This led to a confrontation between Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus and President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
On 23rd September 1957, the nine African-American students faced an angry mob of 1,000 whites protesting against integration in front of the school. After an outbreak of violence, the students were removed from the school. The following day, President Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered 1,200 troops of the 101st Airborne Division to escorts the students into the school.
In memory of these events, Central High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1982. Congress established the Little Rock Central High School National Historic Site in 1998.
Today, the site is still used as a school, and the National Historic Site is administered in partnership with the National Park Service.

Cyane Fossae is a trough in the Diacria quadrangle of Mars.  It is centered at 31.3° north latitude and 121.2° west longitude.  It is  long and was named after a classical albedo feature name.

The term "fossae" is used to indicate large troughs when using geographical terminology related to Mars. Troughs, sometimes also called grabens, form when the crust is stretched until it breaks, which forms two breaks with a middle section moving down, leaving steep cliffs along the sides. Sometimes, a line of pits form as materials collapse into a void that forms from the stretching.

West Virginia House approves bill requiring women to be told about abortion pill reversal
Click here to view original web page at www.liveaction.org
The Second Chance at Life Act, or House Bill 2982, passed by a vote of 83-15 in the West Virginia House of Delegates on Wednesday, March 24, with seven Democrats joining the Republican majority. The bill now heads to the state Senate for a vote.
If passed into law, the Act would require mothers obtaining the abortion pill to be informed of Abortion Pill Reversal at that time. The abortion pill regimen consists of two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. The first blocks progesterone, which essentially starves the preborn child of nutrients, leading to his or her death. The second drug causes the mother to deliver her dead child, causing extreme cramping and bleeding. Since the abortion pill was FDA-approved in the United States in 2000, nearly four million children have been killed with the drug and at least 24 mothers have died after taking it.
Abortion Pill Reversal is a progesterone regimen that has the potential to counter the devastating effects of mifepristone (a progesterone inhibitor) and save the child's life. Many mothers have successfully reversed their abortions and saved their children's lives with Abortion Pill Reversal. Progesterone has long been dispensed to women at risk of miscarriage, yet the abortion industry and its allies have attempted to smear the reversal protocol as "junk science."

This article is from KMVT.com and is simply quoted here. Source: https://www.kmvt.com/2021/12/06/first-its-kind-food-truck-aims-help-with-school-lunches/

GOODING, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — Supply chain disruptions and labor shortages have impacted school lunches nationwide and the Magic Valley has been no exception.
"It seems like we spend all of our time ordering food, to find out it's out," said Gooding School District Child Nutrition Director Anji Branch.
Gooding School District said they opted to be proactive, and they recently unveiled their solution: a food truck. It is the first of its kind in the state of Idaho.
"The food truck we knew would be just something exciting and something different, and help increase participation," Branch said. "Our program isn't effective if our students aren't participating in it."
The Senator StrEat truck — a play on the high school's mascot — was partially funded using district ESSER, or Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funds. Additional funding came from the Child Nutrition Department's excess operating balance.
The truck will have a variety of purposes ranging from school lunches, mobile feeding sites around town and concessions. It is not yet operational while staff training is being completed. Speaking of staff, like many districts statewide, they are in need of more.
"Staff shortages is a real thing," said Branch. "So right now our truck is great and as awesome as it is, but it will be myself and my assistant out running it until we can get more staff hired."
This year, school lunches are free in the district, including the food truck. Once it is up and running, staff say they expect to see immediate benefits.
"We're going to be able to feed more students, they're going to be able to social distance better," said Spencer Larsen, Superintendent of the Gooding School District. "It'll be mobile, so we're not going to just have one location. It's going to be fabulous."

Guns or Mental Illness, That is the Question.
February 26, 2018 March 8, 2018 moraljustice2016
This blogger happens to think that some commonsense gun laws that keep guns out of the hands of people who have certain types of serious neuropsychiatric disorders would be prudent. The common good would also be better served if we would consider that guns don't have minds, they don't drive mass shootings, but they most certainly enable them. Too many people insist on making the issue about a binary choice between mental illness and guns. The general public, the media, and politicians are poorly equipped to enter into debates about one of those binary choices, i.e. neuropsychiatric disorders. The populace cannot evaluate the significance of these disorders in these tragedies because they simply do not understand serious mental illness.
For example, the media is reporting that a most recent mass shooter had been depressed. The nature of the "depression" that might have afflicted the young man is beyond the grasp of the vast majority of people. Depression of the sort that most of us can understand, even when severe, does not cause the bizarre thoughts, fixations and behaviors of the shooter. What do people think clinical depression is? Think of the typical sanitized pharmaceutical ads about "depression", with their dulcet overtones…blurring the distinction between the kind of depression we all can relate to and the other kind – that few people understand. Pharmaceutical companies… doing their part to spread ignorance about serious mental illness far and wide.
After the latest school shooting, everyone is talking about mental health issues. On cable tv, on the radio, in print media, people are blaming mental illness or mental health issues as a manifestation of social ills… lack of respect for authority, parental negligence, taking God out of schools, the breakdown of family life, video games, and all sorts of other things. Some will blame mental health issues and these social issues in the same breath.
Now is the time when criminologists, "forensic" psychiatrists (some, who might as well be criminologists) and socio-psychologists are invited by the media to help the public understand what causes these incidents of senseless violence. Criminologists will spout their canned psychobabble analysis…shooters are seeking notoriety; they are calloused, disturbed people who just want to get attention. The socio-psychologists will point to trauma, abuse, "depression" and other environmental factors. Some experts say that the shooter did not have the kind of mental illness that the system could have done anything about. Perhaps that is because criminologists have labelled school shooters as psychopaths who simply lack empathy and who are calloused, but not mentally ill in the sense of those who are alleged to be more likely to be victims of crime that perpetrators.
This construct neglects to reconcile with the concept that serious mental illnesses are brain disorders that involve abnormal neuro/electrical/chemical conditions and sometimes structural anomalies of the brain that adversely affect the state of consciousness, thinking, and behavior. Neuroscientists believe that the brains of people criminologists call psychopaths also have "bad wiring" and/or abnormal brain structures.
When a child under age is showing the kind of signs of brain dysfunction that have been reported about the Florida school shooter, the system should be able to case-manage that person. The school shooter exhibited so many signs of serious brain dysfunction up to the point of posting a video where he wrote "Im going to be a professional school shooter" – under his own name, not an alias. Run-of-the mill criminals don't signal their intentions like this. That act in particular is suggestive of something akin to anosognosia in serious mental illness.
The problem is that society has not figured out what to do proactively to manage young people that are showing signs of what criminologists call psychopathy and does an incompetent job of dealing with serious mental disorders. Instead, society waits until their behavior has to be dealt with by the criminal justice system. By that time, it's too late. A young person who expresses ideation of killing people should be forced to have a mental health evaluation, and moreover, be monitored . The criminal justice system cannot intervene until there is an explicit threat or unlawful behavior has occurred. When a young person is showing so many alarming signs of serious brain health problems, they should not just be expelled from school without the state taking action to case manage that person. When lives are at stake, the answer cannot be that we can't do anything. That is not acceptable. We cannot let these matters rest upon the curtailment of high-capacity guns. We need to design a commonsense mental health system just as much as we need to have commonsense gun laws.
We cannot continue to ignore the role that serious neuropsychiatric disorders have played in school shootings and community violence in general. We also cannot continue to ignore the reality that our prisons are filled with people that require treatment for these brain disorders. We have to start thinking critically about the messaging that is being promulgated in the media.
"The Connection Between Violence and Mental Illness is a Myth"
"The mentally ill are more likely to be victims than perpetrators"
"Study Shows, Violence Not Associated With Mental Illness"
"Mental Illness Not a Risk Factor for Violence"
"Research Shows Low Likelihood of Violence by Mentally Ill"
"Violence Cannot Be Blamed On Mental Illness"
Yes, it is true that the vast majority of people with severe mental illness will never harm anyone. By now, everyone in America knows this, thanks to anti-stigma advocacy, public service psychology, and even the criminal justice system. But the truth is that certain neuropsychiatric disorders can cause violence in a small subset of people. These disorders can change the content of someone's stream of conscience and rob people of the neural capacity to conform their behaviors to the law. The fact that the criminal justice system punishes this incapacity unjustly cultivates ignorance about the grim realities of these disorders in a small subset of people with serious mental illnesses. If the criminal justice system would stop punishing severely disordered brains, then society would no longer be able to throw these individuals in prison and forget about them. Our awareness might be raised about the need to deal with the risks of certain brain health problems proactively. State and Federal government needs to stop spending massive amounts of tax dollars on "mental health" and refocus on serious mental illness.
Somewhere in America…after sensible gun controls are implemented:
A mother with postpartum psychosis throws her baby off a bridge. Her husband, uneducated about the signs and symptoms of psychosis thought she was simply struggling with "depression" from the stress and strain of new motherhood.
A young man with Schizophrenia responds to command hallucinations and starts a fire in the family home, killing family members. The young man had recently been insurance case-managed out of psychiatric inpatient treatment.
A young woman from a close-knit loving family in her first year of college, undiagnosed with Bipolar jumps out of a window of an apartment tower, killing herself and a motorist. Her behavior in class alarmed fellow students and professors, leading the school to compel the young woman to see a counselor. The school officials did not understand that anosognosia can block a person with serious mental illness from knowing that they need help. She did not comply.
A young mother who was "depressed", beheads her newborn child – with a knife. Her family observed that she seemed withdrawn and robotic "like an empty shell with dead eyes". She is charged for murder and sits untreated in jail for months awaiting transfer to be prepared for prosecution . She denies being mentally ill.
A husband in relapse, anosognosic, and refusing medication, stabs his children and wife, killing them. His wife had tried to have her husband involuntarily committed based on his psychotic symptoms but he had not shown signs of being dangerous to himself or others.
A man in the throes of florid psychosis pushes a child and a mother off a train platform. They are killed. He had just been released from prison where he had been receiving antipsychotic medication. He was released with no coordination for continuing care and case management.
A young woman, her husband's frantic attempts to get her admitted for involuntary treatment are rebuffed by county mental health authorities multiple times, she has not threatened to harm anyone and has not done anything "in furtherance of a threat". Within days she runs down a group of children walking home from school.
A kind college-bound young man who came of age, legally purchases firearms after passing a rigorous background check. Just a few years later he begins to show signs of emerging psychosis, but none of his friends, family, or associates recognize hallmark signs and symptoms. Untreated, the psychosis exacerbates into bizarre thoughts involving shooting people at a wedding party. Months later, he becomes yet another shooter. A newlywed bride and her mother are dead.
There is an epidemic in this country of these kinds of tragedies, but they rarely get the attention of mass shootings.
Social media, radio talk shows, media commentators, politicians all have something to say about "mental health" or mental illness when mass shootings happen but few of them knows what they are talking about. How can the populace be blamed for their ignorance? They are the product of miseducation.

At Exigo we have many satisfied customers who benefit greatly from our customer service. Read what they say about us.
Denmark has a sad 1st place in Europe for tenders. Every sixth Danish EU bid is canceled. It is three times as much as in Germany and twice as much as in Sweden.
We collected data from over 80+ construction projects in which we supported both owners and contractors. These data show some clear trends. In particular, a trend is prevalent. It is linked to point 1 above: "Errors in the tender documents".
The sequence of errors in the tender dossier may, in the "best case", give many additional bills during execution, and in the worst case, that the delivery must be canceled and rebuilt. We help you to compile offers based on a thorough data analysis. The offers do not contain "hidden plans" or estimates, but are based on facts.

Margaret Ballinger (née Hodgson; 1894–1980) was the first President of the Liberal Party of South Africa and a South African Member of Parliament. In 1944, Ballinger was referred to as the "Queen of the Blacks" by TIME magazine.

Biography
Margaret Hodgson was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1894 and moved to Cape Colony with her family when she was a child. Her father arrived just before the Boer War and ended up fighting against the British. Hodgson (Ballinger) attended the Huguenot College in Wellington before continuing her education in England. In England she went to Somerville College, Oxford.

She taught history when she returned to South Africa at Rhodes University in Grahamstown and University of the Witwatersrand. She stood for election where there were seven representatives for eight million black South Africans against the 140 M.P.s who represented the other 20% of the population. She had stood against other male candidates and talking through an interpreter had managed to win the electorate's confidence. It was said that she used the analogy of Joan of Arc to illustrate what a woman could do for them.

She represented the people of the Eastern Cape from 1937 on the Native Representatives Council (NRC). She was credited, along with Senator Edgar Brookes, for moving people from talking about controlling the native South African populace to finding out how their lives could be improved. In 1943 she was proposing new laws and in 1947 her plans included new training and municipal representation for "blacks" and improved consultation with the NRC. This period from 1937 through the 1950s is seen as when Ballinger had most power and influence. A Time Magazine report in 1944 named "Mrs Ballinger" as the "Queen of the Blacks". Her power as a speaker was only overshadowed by the prime ministers, Jan Smuts, and Jan Hofmeyr, his heir apparent. The future that the article foresaw for Ballinger was as the "white hope" leading 24,000,000 blacks as part of an expanded British influence in southern Africa. She overshadowed her husband, William, who some see as now out of his depth in the changing political outlook. They had both formed a Friends of Africa movement, but this looked more to Britain for funding than it did in its success in linking to the emerging African native political organisations.

When the Liberal Party of South Africa was formed in 1953 she was its first President. The party was founded around Alan Paton, who was one of the vice Presidents. She was one of the few people to speak against the apartheid views of Hendrik Frensch Verwoerd.

In 1960 she left Parliament when the South African government abolished the Parliamentary seats representing Africans. She was given a bronze award in 1961 by the British Royal African Society for her services to Africa. Her citation mentioned the links she had established between African and European women and for the home for sick children she established.

She left the party before it was wound up by its own membership in 1968. At that time it became illegal for a political party to have members from more than one race. The party preferred to die rather than choose.

Works
 From Union to Apartheid - A Trek to Isolation, 1969

Legacy
The home for sick children which she had established was closed down during the apartheid era, but it has taken new shapes. Ballinger had started three schools in Soweto without official permission, the first is named in her honour.

Foreign Games: Dubbed, Subbed, or Raw?
Blake Powell
Surely you have played a foreign game - be it Japanese, Slavic, or otherwise, before. Most games are localized and translated, but every once in a while (I'd also argue most of the time) there are some bits of the original language it was made in lingering about. Take S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for instance. In the English version, sometimes the NPC's will speak English, but most of the time they speak Russian, and no subtitles are available so you're kind of on your own when it comes to translation; though, some people prefer it that way to get that unique 'feeling'.
You see what I'm talking about in Japanese games mostly. Usually the case is that text is translated, but voices are not. Of course, there are also dubs which convert all the original language to whatever your chosen language is.
So which do you tend to prefer, video game subs or dubs? Does it depend on the series and quality of the dub/sub? For games in the Metal Gear Solid series, I think the English dub is universally preferred (thanks to David Hayter) but who knows, maybe some of you prefer Japanese version. You tell me.
Webm somewhat related. It's the official dub for Nichijou from the brilliant young and unbiased minds at Funimation.

Subs for when I don't know the language, raw when I do.
I really can't fathom why anyone would do otherwise.

For one, I prefer no voices at all when a game series starts out unvoiced then gets voices later on. Other times, I prefer the original voice acting with subs. I make an exception for extraordinarily shitty voice work or irritating voices. For English games, I'll try the original voice acting and usually they use better actors than dubbed nip games so it doesn't bother me, but if the voice work is comparable to a typical English dub then I might be inclined to use an alternate dub of higher quality with English subs. I've heard some really good German dubs, but I don't know if that's typical or if they were outliers. English->Japanese dubs I have no idea if they're any good as I've only heard examples from a couple cartoons and they picked voices that just happened to sound more irritating than the originals to me.

Choose language based on the setting of the game.
Playing through Witcher in Polish, Assassin's Creed 2 in Italian, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in Russian are some of the best experiences I've had.
Not knowing the language also helps to avoid cringy voice acting.
always pay the game on it's native language. So much nuance is lost on translations that are not made by fans that it's just not worthy.
Gavin Butler
The Italian in Assassin's Creed is laughably bad, the game is obviously intended to be played in English.

I'd rather have subs, but that usually means going through a (((translation))) group, and one of the only games I managed to caveman my way through untranslated was Dragon Quest Builders.
Also the least rude way I could put this, holy goddamn shit is the dub for nichijou awful.

not knowing the language helps
Nicholas Green
I prefer dubs, but I know that there's a problem with (((scriptwriters))) taking (((liberties))) rather than being faithful. It's (in a much much lesser way) a problem with subs too. I'm hopeful that the Funi Lawsuit Vic is throwing their way might help curb the problem.
Jeremiah Jenkins
Most official subs are localized so I prefer a dub unless there are accurate subs available - usually fantranslation projects which are increasingly rarer these days even for video games. It's retarded to me reading sentences which have nothing to do with the audio I'm hearing, so if I'm getting localized yes I want the dialogue track to at least match the information they're feeding me. At most a good localization captures the feel of what's being said better better than an accurate one, but still trying to hard to be a work of American-English literature and universally always failing.
So yes, dubs > subs.

This is admittedly a big factor for posters like this It's easy to imagine a Japanese voice belonging to a cute and innocent character because people don't know Japanese women.
Kevin Sanders
It's easy to imagine a Japanese voice belonging to a cute and innocent character because people don't know Japanese women.
No, it's because voice acting in the west is not cared for and so talentless hacks get to voice a gorillion characters because they have connections in the industry and little in the way of competition. Meanwhile voice acting in Japan is done more professionally and with much greater care, along with fan clubs of autists demanding quality.
Example: When Japanese VAs voice an episode, they all get together into one room and do the script together – when characters converse in the episode, the voice actors converse IRL. In the US, it is common for each VA to do his own thing in a separate booth, often at different times (depending on when they have time because again, nobody gives a shit), so all the lines are essentially done solo, in a vacuum, without the VA knowing how the line from the other character was actually delivered by another VA. These solitary lines are then glued together by an audio software and that's it.

I think what I hate the most about dubbing of slav games to english is that the dub never preserves the actual feel of the dialogue. Most slav voicing has a certain cadence to it with many R's and such that give the lines the impact they need, yet all that is lost in English (not to mention all the cool insults that get translated to generic "fuck" or "asshole"). Imagine playing STALKER but instead of "Cheeki breeki" hearing "I'll find ya!" or similar crap.

This. Subs give you the best of both worlds: a translation, which supposedly matches the original script, so you can understand, and the original audio you can check against, which also conveys information like mannerisms, tone, verbal tics, etc.
Dubs have no reason to exist, stuff gets inevitably lost in translation or changed, if the original script doesn't end up butchered outright by (((localizers))), voices are usually worse (see ), and you don't have the original audio to see if the translation deviates significantly.
To be fair, once in a blue moon a dub ends up being better than subs, usually in cases where the original was horrible to begin with.


WISH LESS gallery is pleased to announce Steff Plaetz's solo exhibition.
Steff is a British artist whose work is highly regarded across the world. He has work in the collections of Ian Brown and Michael Stipe(R.E.M) and other noted musicians.
In this exhibition, we will exhibit Steff Plaetz's new work and some pieces from his recent collaboration with Will Barras.
For the opening reception, special guest DJ will be Joe 2 Grand (RPM/Runaways UK).
Steff Plaetz began painting in Bristol in the mid '90s, developing a loose and spontaneous style incorporating a uniquely 'freehand' stencilling approach based on 'automatic' drawings and sketches which retain their rawness through to the final artwork. He was along with his friends Will Barras and Mr Jago one of the original 3 core members of the hugely influential 'Scrawl Collective'.
Inspired as much by his globally nomadic lifestyle as his soft spot for quality sci-fi, that was inevitably nurtured by being a kid growing up through the '80s, Steff collides ideas of bleak futro-industrial landscapes with dream-like snapshots of urban activity. His infinitely sustainable resource of imagination runs as wild as the acrylics and spray paints that colour his works.
Alongside working as an illustrator, Steff has exhibited his works internationally in Tokyo, New York, Osaka, Paris, Hong Kong, Brussels, Barcelona, Cologne and of course his home London, and has been commissioned and collected by Ian Brown, Michael Stipe and David Holmes amongst others.

Вилхелм фон Цимерн (; * 17 юни 1549 Мескирх; † декември 1594 в Падуа) е последният граф на Цимерн-Мескирх.

Той е единственият син на граф Фробен Кристоф фон Цимерн-Мескирх (1519 – 1566), авторът на "Хрониката на графовете фон Цимерн", и съпругата му графиня Кунигунда фон Еберщайн (1528 – 1575), дъщеря на граф Вилхелм IV фон Еберщайн (1497 – 1562) и графиня Йохана фон Ханау-Лихтенберг (1507 – 1572).

Вилхелм фон Цимерн се жени за Сабина фон Турн-Фалзасина († 1588). Бракът е бездетен. Той получава високи служби в двора на ерцхерцог Фердинанд II от Тирол в дворец Амбрас при Инсбрук. На 18 май 1580 г. граф Вилхелм има титлата австрийски дворцов маршал.

Вилхелм фон Цимерн умира през декември 1594 г. в Падуа. Той е пренесен през Алпите и е погребан в дворцовата църква Св. Мартин в Мескирх. Неговият бронзов епитаф доказва, че той по нареждане на императора е бил при папа Сикст V в Рим.

Does Acid Rain still happen in the United States? I haven't heard anything about it in decades.
Acid rain is a result of several combustion products (i.e., sulfur dioxide, SO2, nitrous oxides, NOx) reacting in the atmosphere to form acid (i.e, sulfuric acid H2SO4, nitric acid HNO3). Acid rain isn't pure acid - it's usually regular rain with acidic molecules from these pollutants mixed in.
Sulfur dioxide is a common by-product from fossil fuel combustion, when the fossil fuels contain trace amounts of sulfur. Nitrous oxides are also common combustion by-products, and are primarily created from the nitrogen in the air reacting at high temperature conditions.
Coal combustion is probably one of the largest contributers to acid rain formation, but coal usage for electricity generation has declined substantially over the past few decades with renewable energy technologies (and natural gas) replacing it. Also, with the Clean Air Act and CAIR, NOx and SO2 emissions have been generally declining since the 90's. There are also all kinds of technologies these days to reduce SO2 and NOx emissions - low temperature combustion reduces NOx, sulfur scrubbing can reduce SO2, so it's not as much of a concern going forward compared to other pollutants and carbon dioxide emissions levels.
Edit: to answer the question, it is not so much of a concern as it used to be, at least in the US. I'm not really aware of the status of acid rain in other countries.
Awesome, thanks!! So... maybe environmental regulations are actually a good thing? Who would have thought??
I remember growing up as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and it was a major issue - there were giant swaths of trees that had been completely devastated. As a 7 year old, "acid rain" was just below quicksand when it came to terrifying natural phenomena.
If you look at the pH concentration from 1985-2016 you will see a definite increase in the pH (good!) which shows a reduction in acid rain across the US. The pH of neutral water is 7, but we will never actually reach that because dissolved CO2 in the water will always make it slightly acidic, but nowhere near as acidic as dissolved sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides.
But no! Increase in pH is like increase in pumpkin spice. It makes you more basic.
Thank you so much for this, now I might finally remember which end of the scale is which.
I'm totally gonna use this with students to help them remember! What a great explanation!
This is one of the greatest explanations that is also an insult. You sir/madam are in fact, a genius.
That's pretty good, wish I would have thought of that in college for all my chem course lol.
But what happens when the ph goes to eleven and my face is melted off?
Couldn't we burn things that will result in basic compounds?
Most basic and amphoteric oxides are solids, and the things they come from make for poor fuels. The reason why NOx and SOx gases are produced so much is because the N and S are contaminants in fuels such as coal. We do use the metallic oxides to combine with the other gases though as described above. For example, CaO + SO2 yields CaSO3 and prevents from SO2 from going to the atmosphere.
Doesn't the N come mostly from the air not the fuel?
There's a lot of nitrogen in the air but in the stable form N2, whereas NOx gases can only be produced when nitrogen and oxygen are heated, which is mostly in fuel burning. They're also made upon lightning strikes, because N2 needs large amounts of energy to break and react.

European IT spending
by Ben Rossi 9 February 2006
Growth rates for IT spending in Europe will lag behind the US over the next few years because of slow population growth, excessive past demand for IT skills, and slow adoption of the Internet, says Forrester Research. The analyst group expects technology spending across the region to grow by just 0.7% this year, rising to 6% in 2003 and 7% in 2004. In contrast, Forrester is predicting double-digit growth in the US by 2004.
"In spite of economic unity, Europe's IT sector doesn't have the flexibility – as seen in the US sector – needed to get back to double-digit growth after the 2001 dip," says Charles Homs, a senior analyst at Forrester. He calculates that 'excessive' IT spending amounted to €33 billion in 2000, while the same category in the US came to €48 billion. This overspending has an impact on the recovery of all European regions, says Forrester.
Analysts over at IDC, however, are far more bullish. Stephen Minton, director of IDC's European IT markets centre, says that, "The myth that over-spending on IT, the so-called bubble, will deflate IT demand for the next two years will be put to rest as the economy recovers." Minton believes that clearer return on investment figures on technology spending, wireless and broadband Internet connection roll-outs, as well as new technology platforms, will drive growth in IT spending, especially as e-business becomes increasingly central to the "wider economy".
IDC's latest research leads the company to expect that the western European IT market will grow by 6.6% in 2002, up from previous estimates of 6.4%. This compares with growth of 5% in 2001 and forecast growth of 9% in 2003. "Data has emerged in recent weeks providing early signs of overall improvement in the European business environment," says Minton. Sweden will demonstrate the strongest growth in western Europe in 2002, with IT spending forecast to rise by 8.1%.
For Forrester's forecast period, from 2002 to 2004, the UK is expected to remain Europe's largest market for IT, extending its lead over Germany and France. IT spending in Germany, Forrester says, fell by €10 billion in 2001, making it the hardest hit market in Europe. It forecasts that the German IT sector will start to recover this year, reaching €50 billion by 2003. However, it says, it will take the country until 2005 to return to the spending levels of 2000.
Market analyst IDC concurs that the German IT market will be among the weakest in Europe in 2002. That, in turn, it says, will have a negative impact on Austria, Belgium and Switzerland. "In central Europe, the downturn in the German economy has affected IT budgets," says Minton of IDC. However, like Forrester, he also sees "positive signs of a gradual recovery" in the region.
Benelux is another region that the analysts believe to be particularly challenging. In 2002 the Benelux region will account for 8% of the entire European IT market, says Forrester, but it was seriously hit by the US downturn (some 60% of its gross domestic product relies on exports). Therefore, Forrester labels the Benelux as the region where "IT was the second-biggest loser in 2001… after Germany." A full recovery in that area is not expected until 2004.
Both analyst groups are decidedly more positive about the prospects for the southern European market. Forrester expects that southern Europe will outperform the rest of the continent in the next few years. Italy has increased its IT spending faster than the median for Europe over the last few years, it says, while Spain is expected to offer the highest growth rates – close to 10% after 2003.
To put things in perspective, however, Forrester also points out that the southern market makes up just 14% of total European spending, despite accounting for 27% of the population. Furthermore, southern Europe is "still stuck in the 1980s" says Homs, "with vendors like IBM holding the fortress of AS/400-based" small and medium sized enterprises customers in such countries as Spain and Italy.

Jim and I maintain a lifelong love affair with the Little Missouri River. It is one of the things that most deeply bond us together. We know every mile of this river intimately.
What follows is my letter of last week to North Dakota Department of Transportation regarding the Long X Bridge project. The bridge is near to the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
Please consider writing a similar letter. The public deserves as robust a process as is possible. Let's bury NDDOT with pleas to hold more meetings.
I'm following up my comments at this week's public meeting of the Little Missouri Scenic River Commission to write urging that your department schedule a public meeting in Bismarck regarding the Long X Bridge project.
While I wholeheartedly agreed that there should be adequate public meetings in the Highway 85 corridor, this is a federal highway, and your department represents all North Dakotans, more than 80 percent of whom live east of Glen Ullin. It is an undue burden to expect these citizens to have to travel so far to attend any of the meetings and well worth the department's time to provide a greater range of opportunity to seek public comment from as many North Dakotans as possible. After all, we all use this bridge and care about the natural resources of North Dakota.
While you are thinking about the river, here is part two of his blogs on the river: Conflicts of Interest Could Plague Scenic River Commission. You can't make this stuff up.

Man City players need to prepare for action at a moment's notice – Pep Guardiola
Andy Hampson, PA
Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City players they need to be ready to play at a moment's notice.
The City boss is expecting the depth of his squad to be tested in the coming weeks with little respite in their fixture schedule.
The club are currently four games into a run of nine matches in the space of four weeks between the November international break and December 19.
Guardiola says he will need to take into account a number of factors when selecting his teams and players will need to expect the unexpected.
"Sometimes we let them rest but everyone has to be ready, they know it," said Guardiola, who has close to a fully-fit squad available for Saturday's Premier League trip to Watford after a number of injury issues at Aston Villa in midweek.
"Sometimes I'm mad and take decisions people weren't thinking, and some who people don't expect to play play, like Cole Palmer against Everton. Nobody expected it and he played.
"Everybody has to be ready and it's good everyone is back because December is really tough with the amount of games. We need everyone fresh to win, win and win again."
Phil Foden could return for City at Watford (Zac Goodwin/PA)
One player Guardiola has no concerns about being ready is Phil Foden. The England midfielder has not featured in any of the last three games due to an ankle injury but has been pushing to return as soon as possible.
The 21-year-old was an unused substitute in Wednesday's victory at Aston Villa and is in contention to play at Vicarage Road.
Guardiola said: "He's a guy who, in (our) experience together, holds the pain. He has pain but it doesn't matter, (he says), 'I play, I play'.
"So when he has discomfort and says he does not feel good, it's because he does not feel good. This is what happened.
Got that #FridayFeeling 😁 #ManCity pic.twitter.com/EvRq6xmdKc
— Manchester City (@ManCity) December 3, 2021
"But he's a guy who tolerates really well. Normally when you train with pain, it's impossible to wake up in the morning and be clean with everything, but he's a guy where it's not a problem. He loves playing football too much.
"Even in a bad situation, he wants to play and play, and not all of them are like this."
Guardiola points out that does not mean he would encourage players to play through pain, but anyone not involved could lose their place to others.
He said: "Speak with all the managers, there are players who want to play even when they're injured and (there are) other ones (who do not). For example, in my career, I was softer. When I had pain, I had pain and I didn't want to play.
Guardiola insists he would never force an injured player to play (Scott Heppell/AP)
"If there's a problem another one will come in and, if he's playing (well), he'll continue.
"But if he's injured, he's injured. It's not a problem. I never push a player who doesn't feel good to play.
"If he doesn't play another one is coming in, wait for your moment.
"When you're fit convince me and your mates as well that you are ready to help us win the games. It's not more complicated than that."

Primark sees improving UK outlook after Omicron dented Christmas
LONDON (Reuters) -Associated British Foods said on Thursday the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in England had boosted prospects for its Primark clothing business after December sales were dented by the rapid spread of the Omicron coronavirus variant. The group said Omicron had interrupted an improving trend in Primark's customer numbers but it was now seeing a recovery in UK and Ireland footfall. "In the UK and Ireland I think we're looking at an improving consumer outlook," John Bason, AB Foods' finance chief, told Reuters, pointing to falling COVID-19 infection rates and the end of restrictions in England.

Ligomancer is a piece that challenges the standard notion of a sofa going beyond mere aesthetics and surpassing standard conceptions of functionality. The elastic support bands, normally hidden inside the structure of cushioned furniture, come out of their structural boundary and outline the volume of the seat through an entwine of bands. Ligomancer is a sofa in which lines become form. More than one hundred meters of black elastic bands are wrapped and woven around a stainless steel tubular structure with a tailor made copper finish. The piece was conceived as a challenge and a reflection upon the traditional idea of a sofa where the user is confronted with a network of bands delineating a surface that negates the seating area itself. Only through interaction the possibility of seating is accomplished and the user finds himself nested comfortably within a web-like nest of the material that supports, creates and adorns the piece.

Der ledige Hof ist ein deutsches Theaterstück von Ludwig Anzengruber.

Handlung
Agnes Bernhofer ist Anfang 30 und unverheiratet, da ihr Vater als Trinker ihr ein schlechtes Vorbild war. Schlurmosser, ein Vetter, der den Hof bis zur Volljährigkeit verwaltet hat, würde am liebsten seinen Sohn Krispin als Ehemann sehen. Alle Versuche blieben erfolglos, bis der neue Großknecht Leonhard Brugger auf den Hof kommt. Sie stellt ihn als ihren Verlobten vor.

Alles ändert sich, als die Häuserin von Röhrmoos, die frühere Arbeitgeberin von Leonhard, einen Brief sendet, in dem sie diesen als Vater ihres ledigen Enkelkindes verurteilt und den Bürgermeister auffordert, die Zahlung der Alimente zu veranlassen.

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) holds fiduciaries to a standard of prudence when making investment-related decisions for a qualified ERISA plan.
The Department of Labor (DOL) and the courts have largely determined that said standard of prudence can best be determined by a fiduciary's process, or procedures, used in making such decisions. And though a written investment policy statement (IPS) is not explicitly required by ERISA, it is considered a best practice to create, and update, one to assist in guiding fiduciaries in making plan-related investment decisions. The DOL routinely requests a copy of a plan's IPS during investigation. And the courts have regularly looked to the terms of a plan's IPS to determine if fiduciaries undertook a prudent process in making decisions on behalf of the plan.

We'd left the warmth of our flat to brave the elements to see the debut show for one of our favourite acts of 2016 – Ad Dougie Douglas. His debut show 'Happy Birthday Clarky!' was running over 2 nights as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe.

Mississippi Has Closed State Prisons After An Inmates Death
The Mississippi Department of Corrections said Monday evening it locked down its prisons after an inmate died after a disturbance at a prison.
This so-called "disturbance" happened on Sunday at the�South Mississippi Correctional Institution in Greene County.
There is no word on what exactly this disturbance was or how the inmate died, but two other inmates were left with non-life-threatening injuries.
This lockdown applies not just to the three state prisons but to the three private prisons and the 15 regional jails that house state inmates throughout Mississippi.
MDOC is still investigating exactly what happened to cause the death of an inmate in one of its facilities.
