Jean Broc (Montignac, 16 de dezembro de 1771–1850) foi um pintor neoclassicista francês. O seu trabalho mais famoso, uma pintura a óleo sobre tela intitulada A morte de Jacinto, foi terminada em 1801 e retrata Jacinto, um belo jovem rapaz íntimo do deus grego Apolo. Um dia, enquanto jogava com um disco, Jacinto foi atingido pelo objecto, o que lhe provocou a morte. A pintura reflecte o luto de Apolo pelo seu companheiro morto. Alguns mitos ligam um invejoso Zéfiro (deus grego do vento oeste) ao incidente, culpando-o por uma rajada de vento da qual resultou a morte do jovem.

Broc estudou sob a tutela de Jacques-Louis David e é conhecido pelo desenvolvimento do grupo intelectual conhecido por Les Primitifs (também conhecido por Barbus ou "Os Barbudos").

Q: Tooltip property for column header ui-grid angularjs I am using cellTooltip property of colDef but that does not seems to be working.
$scope.gridOptions.columnDefs = [{ displayName: 'Test', field: '_test',
    cellTooltip: function (row, col) { return row.entity._Number },
    cellTemplate: '

'},
];

Any help would be appreciated.

A: You can add a tooltip to the column header simply by adding headerTooltip: 'Custom header string' in the column definition.
https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-grid/issues/3118

A: For header tooltip in ui-grid there is headerCellTemplate property available. This worked for me.
headerCellTemplate: '
Test
'

A: Bhavjot's answer does contain a nice angular tooltip, but on each cell, not the header as you asked for. I see your template works, but if you are looking for something more angular I put together this template:

        {{ col.displayName }}

Also, here is a plunker where you can see both types of tooltips working together. https://plnkr.co/edit/cCIKBWx0KfbIPUiheZP6?p=preview
Please mark one of the answers as the answer to your question.

A: By default the grid's cells are set to hide any overflow, so if you just pop a tooltip in there it won't show up. You can solve this by either adding some custom overflow CSS to your cellTemplate, or if you're using UI Bootstrap you can add tooltip-append-to-body="true" to the element with your tooltip and the tooltip will be appended to the body and absolutely positioned where it needs to be.
For Overflow CSS , add class "grid-tooltip" to cell template and define CSS class as:
.grid-tooltip {
  overflow: visible;
  z-index: 9999999;
  float: left;
}

Don't you love getting invited to a party or celebration? The invitation itself just tends to make us feel wanted, doesn't it? I want to give you an exciting invitation, too, but this one is of a different sort. This actually comes from Jesus, an invitation to rest.
We've talked about our eternal rest in the introduction to our Gift of Rest Series found here. What a celebration that will be! And what relief there will be when we know all our struggles will be over and we'll finally be safe at home.
But the invitation Jesus gives us is for here and now. He is calling you to come to Him and find rest. Not just physical rest, which is definitely important, but He is calling you to a deeper rest – where you can relax and be yourself and know everything is okay.
A few years ago, I was trying very hard to be all God wanted me to be and not really doing a good job. I didn't understand rest. Being good enough was just too demanding.
But I began to learn about grace and how Jesus has already done it all to make me enough. I learned that I could come to Him and find the rest for which I was longing. One day, I was studying this passage above from Matthew, and I began to write.
The words didn't seem to come from me. I believe the Holy Spirit was directing me what Jesus would say if He were there with me, helping me see His heart. A few weeks ago, I found the notebook where I had written those words. I felt like you needed to hear them, too.
So, I thought I'd do something different and read it aloud to you. This is a first for me! I won't tell you how many times I did this to get it halfway right! But hopefully you'll hear what Jesus is wanting to say to you about rest.
As my gift to you, I have a free copy of this devotional for you that you can print out and read on your own time. My prayer is that it will give you the encouragement you need to accept Jesus and His invitation to rest. You can get the freebie below!
In the comments below, I'd love to hear your response to Jesus' invitation. You may have questions or hesitations. You may be responding with full enthusiasm. Whatever you feel, share it with us and let's encourage each other!
Here's where you can sign up to get my free devotional "An Invitation to Rest" – the transcript of what I read on the video. Hear Jesus speaking as you read and ponder it.

With Cash And Cachet, The Islamic State Expands Its Empire : Parallels Based in Iraq and Syria, the Islamic State is using its chameleon-like branding and financial incentives to attract extremist groups from Egypt's Sinai Peninsula to Libya's Mediterranean coast.
Many Stories, One World
< With Cash And Cachet, The Islamic State Expands Its Empire
With Cash And Cachet, The Islamic State Expands Its Empire
From the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt to Eastern Libya, Islamist groups are pledging allegiance to the so-called Islamic State, or ISIS. The Sunni extremist group mainly operates in the chaos of Iraq and Syria, but now it's using cash to entice militants who are mainly focused on local issues elsewhere to join the brutal cause. NPR's Leila Fadel reports.
LEILA FADEL, BYLINE: Last week in an audio recording posted online, the head of the self-declared Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, announced that his group is going global.
ABU BAKR AL-BAGHDADI: (Foreign language spoken).
FADEL: Oh Muslims, he says, we give you good news by announcing the expansion of the Islamic State to new lands - the lands of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and Algeria.
Later, he addresses fighters in Tunisia and Morocco as well. He goes on to call them part of his own supposed state, and addresses local enemies in those countries from regimes to secularists. And in turn, the local groups changed their names to become provinces of the so-called Islamic State. Days later, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, a militant group in the Sinai Peninsula that's fighting the Egyptian government and neighboring Israel, had its coming-out party of sorts. It put out a 30-minute video that had all the violence and slick editing that are the trademark of ISIS videos in Syria and Iraq.
(SOUNDBITE OF VIDEO)
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Allahu Akbar.
FADEL: Militants shoot up police vehicles, blow up an army outpost and execute security forces, all while warning that this is just the beginning of their work in Egypt. It was produced under their new name, the Sinai province of the Islamic State. Now, the draft for these small and largely unknown militants from Egypt to Algeria, analysts say, is mostly about money and recognition. Samer Shehata is a Middle East expert at the University of Oklahoma.
SAMER SHEHATA: ISIS is a brand name. It has widespread recognition, and in the eyes of many adherents, it's successful.
FADEL: It's conquered large swaths of territory in Syria and Iraq. It's looted banks and has access to oil revenue. And broadly speaking, the new militant groups who've pledged allegiance also use violence and extremist Islamist ideology. But the similarities end there, Shehata says.
SHEHATA: They're really focused primarily on local struggles against the regimes that they find themselves in that are often - in fact, always - authoritarian, repressive regimes that they consider, of course, un or even anti-Islamic.
FADEL: By joining ISIS, they go from being little-known militant groups to household names with access to better resources. And in return, ISIS gets to bolster its reputation as the fiercest jihadist group around, claim attacks well beyond its reach in Syria and Iraq and increase recruitment. But the lack of common goals may create fissures down the road. Again, Shehata.
SHEHATA: The allegiance only goes so far, and in fact, there could be, in the future, issues where they differ.
FADEL: Already, the new ISIS affiliates seem to be emulating the brutal tactics of ISIS. In the town of Derna in eastern Libya, there've been reportedly three beheadings of activists, and residents say an Islamic court and an education ministry are now established. And even before pledging allegiance to ISIS, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis carried out their first filmed beheadings in August. Leila Fadel, NPR News, Cairo.

When did the US declare war on Germany ww2?
Following the Declaration of War on Japan on December 8, 1941, the other Axis nations of Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. Congress responded, formally declaring a state of war with Germany in this Joint Resolution on December 11, 1941.
Why did US nuke Japan?
Official A-Bomb Justification: Save US Lives According to Truman and others in his administration, the use of the atomic bomb was intended to cut the war in the Pacific short, avoiding a U.S. invasion of Japan and saving hundreds of thousands of American lives.
Why do cockroaches fly towards you?
Although many winged cockroaches can fly, only a few fly well. Sometimes when they're threatened, they'll fly to escape– either from a predator or from a human who wants to kill them. If they take off and fly straight towards you, they're usually just frightened and not in very good control of where they're headed.
How far away from a nuclear blast is safe?
Can cockroaches survive nuclear?
There are 4,600 species of cockroaches – and only a small percentage of them – around 30 species – exhibit pest-like behaviour, but it's safe to say that any species of cockroach would not be able to survive a direct nuclear bomb blast; if the radiation doesn't get them, the heat and impact will.
How can cockroaches survive a nuclear bomb but not raid?
Why do cockroaches survive nuclear attacks but are killed by Raid? Nuclear bombs not directly aimed at cockroaches may miss them underground for long enough to allow for radiation to dissipate enough for their survival.
How many hearts does a cockroach have?
Can a cockroach kill you?
You now know that they can't bite us to death. The answer is, no, they can't kill us; they cannot eat us alive. However, roaches are not without risks. While we won't be eaten alive by cockroaches, we can get very sick, and if it's left untreated, it can get dangerous for our well-being.
Do cockroaches have memory?
Cockroaches can learn — like dogs and humans. HONG KONG (Reuters) – Cockroaches have a memory and can be taught to salivate in response to neutral stimuli in the way that Pavlov's dogs would do when the famed Russian doctor rang his bell, Japanese researchers found.
Why did US nuke Japan instead of Germany?
Groves states that the commanders believed that the war in Germany was almost over and that Japan would be a better target. This was also based on the construction of Japanese buildings and the strong aerial defense Germany had. To carry the Little Boy and Fat Man bombs, B-29 planes had to be modified.
Can a cockroach survive being cut in half?
Headless roaches are capable of living for weeks. To understand why cockroaches—and many other insects—can survive decapitation, it helps to understand why humans cannot, explains physiologist and biochemist Joseph Kunkel at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, who studies cockroach development.

This Is the Way the College 'Bubble' Ends
Not with a pop, but a hiss
Derek Thompson
For the past few decades, the unstoppable increase in college tuition has been a fact of life, like death and taxes. The sticker price of American college increased nearly 400 percent in the last 30 years, while median household income growth was relatively flat. Student debt soared to more than $1 trillion, the result of loans to cover the difference.
Several people—with varying degrees of expertise in higher-ed economics—have predicted that it's all a bubble, destined to burst. Now after decades of expansion, just about every meaningful statistic—including the number of college students, the growth of tuition costs, and even the total number of colleges—is going down, or at least growing more slowly.
First, the annual growth rate of college tuition is at its lowest rate on record. Second, the annual growth rate of student debt is lower than any time in the last decade. Third, the number of college enrollees has declined for five consecutive years. Fourth, the college premium—the extra income one should expect from getting a bachelor's degree—is higher than it was in the 1990s, but it's stopped growing this century for young workers. Altogether, the numbers paint a clear picture: The higher-education market is not bursting, like a popped soap bubble; but it is leaking, like a pierced balloon.
What's going on? The explanation is a little bit of weak demand, a little bit of over-supply, a big crackdown on for-profit colleges, and, perhaps, a subtle shift in culture.
1. The college pipeline is drying up.
Data: Education Department
The United States is running out of teenagers.
For two decades, college enrollment grew and grew, bolstered by the coming-of-age of the enormous Millennial generation. But today, the number of young people going to college is in decline. It's not that today's teenagers hate higher education; the share of recent high school graduates going on to college has barely budged. Instead, there are simply fewer recent high school grads overall, due to declining birth rates. More than half of colleges and universities say their number of students has declined.
2. There are too many colleges.
In the last three decades, higher education has been one of the economy's most unstoppable growth sectors. In booms and busts alike, the number of two- and four-year colleges kept rising, increasing by more than 30 percent between 1990 and 2010, according to the Education Department.
But now, schools are closing. The number of colleges in the U.S. has fallen for four straight years, and the rate of decline is accelerating, as you can see in the graph above. (The graph measures institutions that give out federal aid, which is a useful proxy.) For decades, population growth after World War II fed the demand for new colleges. But with a relatively strong economy, combined with political and social pressure to restrain tuition growth, colleges are finding it hard to attract students at an ever-rising price point. Last year was the worst year for school closings this century.
What's more, with fewer teens going to school, colleges are losing their pricing power and offering discounts to fill the beds and lecture seats. Hundreds of thousands of adults returned to school during and immediately after the Great Recession, using the downtime to buff up on skills to serve them during the recovery. But now adults are working more and studying less. The New York Times reports that at some colleges—particularly small, private nonprofit schools—the discounts are "so deep that, while their sticker prices appear to be rising ahead of the inflation rate, the schools are actually seeing their net tuition revenue decline."
3. The bubble that's popping isn't American colleges, overall—it's for-profit colleges.
Enrollment at for-profit institutions quadrupled in the first decade of this century, to 1.7 million, at one point accounting for 10 percent of US college students. But they were targeted by education advocates and the Obama administration for their low graduation rates and high student debt and defaults. These schools, some of which ran downright scummy businesses to collect government aid without providing much of an education, often catered to adults trying to update their skills in a fallow economy. So in the last few years, they have faced a double-whammy: a healthy job market took away their student demand, and a federal-government crackdown took away their business.
The for-profit implosion has been as dramatic as its rise. Between the 2010 peak and 2015, enrollment at private for-profit colleges decreased by about 40 percent, or 600,000 annual students. (In the same period, enrollment at public colleges and universities only decreased by 4 percent.) Federal loans for undergraduates attending for-profit colleges have also declined by 40 percent. The business model of gobbling up federal money in exchange for delivering a worthless education is drying up. That's a positive development that is playing an outsized role in negative headlines about American higher ed. After all, research has shown that graduates of for-profit schools see no average benefit in the labor market.
What's the implication for the next generation of college students? It's possible that we're seeing a brief, perfect storm with three driving factors—a dearth of teenagers, a growing economy, and the quick implosion of for-profit colleges. These are all measurable forces. But it's also possible that something less quantifiable has changed—for example, that families have become savvier higher-ed shoppers, or that years of public outcry about tuition costs and student debt have encouraged more public universities to rein in their costs.
I'm most interested in how universities use these fallow years to experiment with technology and new ways of delivering education at a cheaper price. For years, colleges and universities were charmed beneficiaries of both demography, with climbing teenage populations, and economics, with a weak economy with growing needs for skilled workers. It's a truism in economics that most technological change in any industry takes place not during the boom times, but during the downturns, when firms have to be clever to survive. Let's see if American colleges are smart enough to adapt to the new normal.

Darkness fell, and the ruffians gathered like ghosts. Forestport was distracted with its customary frolics on the evening of May 23, 1898. Surrounded by six sawmills, the Erie Canal-side town in upstate New York's upper Oneida County scared the faint of heart. Its bars and pleasuring establishments pulsed with the rowdy river drivers down from the Big Moose River, the wizened and de-fingered sawyers, the canawlers still clinging to their dying trade.
"The citizens are a hardy class of men, honest in the main," the Brooklyn Eagle would observe in January 1900,"but having among them… the reckless daredevil class which makes its living away from humanity and modern civilization in general."
Prosecutors would make the Forestport case more bluntly. "They've got more saloons than houses," one law enforcement official would state in May 1900, "and that is the way the town is ruled." True enough: the town of 1,500 souls boasted half a dozen saloons, whose owners pulled the strings. There was Walt Bynon's place, and big Dick Manahan's Getman House, and Jimmy Rudolph's dangerous pool hall, and the lumberjack's hotel known as Doyle's. Forestport was a town on the edge, where civilization merged with the North Country wilderness.
Remsen was a rather more placid town, twenty minutes away by the New York Central Railroad line. When the detectives from the Pinkerton National Detective Agency started coming, they transited Remsen. But that would be later, after the Forestport canal levees had collapsed once too often and suspicions could no longer be suppressed. "There is no law," people whispered, "north of Remsen."
How the Deed Was Done
Erie Canal authorities may have grown accustomed to breaks; by the late nineteenth century, the whole system was as dilapidated as an old man with brittle bones. But when the Forestport levees broke in 1897, and again in 1898, and once more in 1899, the coincidence would provoke Governor Roosevelt's team of investigators. What they subsequently found, one prosecutor would thunder in1900, amounted to "one of the most gigantic conspiracies that was ever concocted in New York State."
On the night of May 23, 1898, four men gathered unnoticed amid Forestport's customary mayhem. They snuck away from River Street and crossed the bridge spanning the Black River, the sounds of saloon revelry subsiding as they walked up a hill toward the Forestport Feeder canal. The Feeder connected Forestport to Boonville and the Black River Canal eleven miles away, but the men were not going that far. Instead, they struck off down the towpath for several hundred yards, lugging picks and shovels and a bottle. Two of them separated to stand watch. The other two, pool hall owner James Rudolph and a local hard case named John Root, took a warming pull of whiskey and readied their tools. "And Root and I," Rudolph would later testify, "went to digging."
"There was a regular hole worked into the bottom of the canal 30 or 40 feet deep, and that was working back towards the berm bank and up and down the canal in both directions," a local man named Charley Pratt would testify in1900. "Dirt was caving into the bottom of the canal and big chunks of earth were dropping into this hole as the water undermined it."
Pratt's testimony was recorded in a trial transcript found at the Oneida County Courthouse, as well as in microfilmed editions of the Boonville Herald, Rome Daily Sentinel, and Utica Observer. In fact, all of the Oneida County newspapers were enraptured by the story of the frequent Forestport breaks that unraveled over the course of several years. By the time a series of criminal trials began in Rome in April 1900, reporters were swarming over the rough-and-tumble town and its ill-fated canal levees.
It's 108 years later, September 30, 2006. Saloon girls sashay before Scooter's bar, a rugged but warm-hearted place that a newly painted sign identifies as Forestport's old Hotel Doyle. Nickel beers have been poured since ten in the morning, enlivening spirits for the first ever Old Forestport Days. A parade forms: a mounted posse, buggies, and impeccably restored antique cars depart River Street at a ceremonious pace. The parade crosses the Black River bridge and moves uphill toward the Forestport Feeder. At the garlanded head of the canal towpath, Scooter's co-owner, Jeannie Wolcott, dedicates the newest section of what's called the North Country Scenic Trail, a 4,600-mile braid of trails connecting North Dakota to Lake Champlain.
Celebrants stroll down the towpath to the place where, 108 years earlier, John Root, James Rudolph, and their cronies had dug all night. Some clues of physical rupture and reclamation endure, and a sepia-toned image forms in the mind's eye: the diggers slivering away the towpath until the canal water starts sluicing through, carrying chunks of levee downhill toward the Black River. One imagines the wound confronting canal men on the fog-bound morning of May 24, 1898.
I came upon the crime scene by accident.
While researching my family history, I learned that my great-grandfather and namesake, a certain Michael Doyle of Forestport, New York, had owned a saloon and lumberjack's hotel. How colorful, I thought. Growing up in California and working as a newspaper correspondent in Washington, D.C., I knew (and cared) nothing about Forestport—until I began digging too.
Census records at the National Archives, and birth and death records in Oneida County, got me started. Turn of- the-century county histories fleshed out names and faces. At the State Library in Albany, annual reports from the New York State Engineer and Surveyor recorded the Erie Canal's rise and fall. Canal depredations proved to be well documented; the Archives' shelves were thick with reports from canal investigating commissions established in 1846, 1876, and 1898. "If the state's waterways are used as means of favoritism, bad appointments, corrupt contracts or extravagance and mismanagement to promote partisan ends at the expense of public service…there ought to be exposure," the New York Times reasoned in September 1890.
The Forestport breaks had been sketchily described in works like Noble E. Whitford's 1906 opus History of the Canal System of the State of New York, but the breaks were never explored in depth. So that's what I set out to do when I began the research that led to my book, The Forestport Breaks: A Nineteenth-Century Conspiracy Along the Black River Canal, published by Syracuse University Press in 2004.
For Money—and Memory
I learned that for decades, well-connected men had plundered the Erie Canal. Businessmen had soaked it with costly contracts, politicians had padded it with patronage jobs, and it had provided dark inspiration for the saloonkeepers and hotel owners of Forestport, who had banded together to hire Jimmy Rudolph's gang. Whenever the canal levees broke, the state would hire hundreds of workers and spend tens of thousands of dollars on repairs, making Forestport flush—for awhile.
"The Forestport men," the Brooklyn Eagle declared in January 1900, "did not have the position that enabled them to make the raid on the treasury in a polite and genteel manner, and so they went at it brutally."
And Michael Doyle? He had been in the middle of it all. Pinkerton detectives peeled away the Forestport layers until they understood how—and why—the breaks occurred.
"I would give $25 if there was another break," Doyle had told Rudolph in the spring of 1898.
Good old great-granddad! He inspired the 1898 plotting, and similar commercial considerations brought about the breaks in 1897 and 1899. Ultimately, thirteen Forestport men were arrested––the first time anyone was charged with conspiring to destroy Erie Canal property. Several went to Auburn State Prison, but Michael Doyle escaped prosecution by dying before the Pinkertons arrived.
But today his place still stands, as Scooter's bar; the Forestport Feeder still flows; and the towpath still beckons, all of them found through digging up the archives this time, a refurbished trail of ghosts and memory.

If you put any group of chemists together for any length of time, lab horror stories will start to creep out. We've all heard them, as colleagues compete with each other to claim the worst near-disaster in the lab: 'In a moment of madness I poured water down the spout which caused a fireball to rush straight past my head'; 'I poured the entire bottle of calcium into the bucket of water shortly before realising this one was fresh'; 'That was when I learned that you should not open a bottle marked "lachrymator" on the bench…' These are all real examples – specifically mine!
I'm guilty myself, the proud owner of many a tale polished to perfection. However, these days I increasingly feel uncomfortable, irritated and concerned when I read stories such as last month's Last retort about a lab accident (Chemistry World, May 2018, p72). We seem to glorify blind luck whereas health and safety is demonised.
I used to see occupational health and safety officers as interfering, bureaucratic busybodies whose sole purpose was to stop the rest of us from doing things. Then, entirely by accident, I drifted into the job myself. I was looking for something more fulfilling than the endless washing up in the teaching lab, and asked if there were any other jobs going. 'Help the health and safety officer with waste disposal? Sure, sounds great.' All of a sudden, without really realising it, I had joined the ranks of those interfering, bureaucratic busybodies too.
Such caricatures miss the point. Chemistry is fundamentally hazardous. Solvents will always be flammable, extreme reagents will always be needed for extreme reactions and the list of what causes cancer grows daily. As the 19th century organic chemist August Kekulé said: 'If you want to be a chemist… you have to ruin your health. Who does not ruin his health by his studies nowadays will not get anywhere in chemistry.' No one in their right mind works in a deliberately unsafe manner now. Health and safety is the reason we're able to do our jobs and still live long, healthy lives.
So why do we still tell tales of fire and explosion with such relish? It's because accidents happen. Chemicals get neglected in the back of cupboards and decompose into peroxides; Winchester bottles get dropped; undergraduates get trusted with the expensive equipment. These stories are exciting to tell once the hazy spectacles of hindsight are applied. It's easy to forget that these are usually the stories in which no one got hurt – and the chance to learn from our mistakes gets lost in the blow-by-blow accounts of daring do.
Which brings us back to health and safety. In the aftermath of an incident, it is hard for us not to be painted as the bad guys. But our strength isn't about investigation: it's in trying to make sure the next accident never happens in the first place. We push paperwork because it is the only way we can be certain that someone has actually thought about safety (you probably would have done it anyway, of course, but a lot of people wouldn't). Perhaps it is hard to see the value when, for an entire generation, safety at work has been the norm. But if you take a look at the UK Health and Safety Executive's statistics, you'll see how injuries and fatal accidents have plummeted since the 1960s. We are simply not used to realising that we can come to serious harm.
Should we continue to tell lab horror stories? Of course! They are an integral part of what binds communities of chemists together and, if nothing else, provide entertainment for the listener. My only request is that next time you spin a yarn, don't make health and safety the bad guy.

Janathakshan (Gte) Ltd and People In Need, (Czech Republic) in collaboration with the Department of Local Government North Western Province successfully completed the first of the two day meeting dedicated towards the creation of the Association of Provincial Biogas Programmes. The meeting was held under the EU SWITCH-Asia Initiative Up-scaling Biogas Technology for Sustainable Development and Mitigating Climate Change in Sri Lanka in Yapahuwa and was attended by many government officials in the North Western, Central and Eastern Provinces.
One of the objectives of this meeting was to exchange learning from the five provinces (Southern, Central, Eastern, Western, North Western) in relation to biogas consumption and policy implementation that was initiated under the EU SWITCH-Asia initiative. However, one of the most important intentions of the meeting was to form an association of provincial biogas programmes that were implemented during the course of the biogas project, which would act as a sustainable agent that would continue to conduct the work of up-scaling and promoting biogas following the end of the EU funded project.
"The world has come to a time where it is important for both developed and developing countries to both continuously speak of an start making a shift towards renewable energy sources. Hence it is important that we steer a change in perspective both among the public as well as at policy level by making an attempt to make a move towards greener, cleaner and sustainable energy sources. Hence, if we are to make this a reality, it is important for all provincial programmes to share their best practices and for us to build a model that is sure to succeed," said Eastern Province Chief Secretary, Mr DMS Abeygunawardana.
The provincial biogas programme was formulated to upscale biogas at provincial level as well as to ensure sustainability of this upscale following the end of the project.
Speaking on consumption patterns seen in the city, Janathakshan CEO Mr Ranga Pallawala remarked on how fossil fuels and traditional sources of energy no longer have the capacity to regenerate to match the speed of consumption and it was the need of the hour to switch to renewable sources that can be generated from the by-product of over-consumption, waste.
The project is focused on up scaling biogas technologies for sustainable development, responsible tourism, economic growth contributing to poverty reduction and climate change mitigation in Sri Lanka. The project targets tourism Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), households and public authorities in the country while building the technical capacity of manufacture and construction SMEs in biogas technologies. The project also supports micro-finance institutions to develop financial schemes providing loans for biogas installations to SMEs and households. The EU SWITCH-Asia initiative assists tourism SMEs and households benefit from sustainable solid waste management and cost savings through energy and resource efficiency.

Chris Darden Withdraws From Nipsey Hussle Murder Case Amid Threats
May 10, 2019 June 27, 2019 Anita BennettAnita Bennett	Leave a comment
The attorney representing Nipsey Hussle's accused killer has withdrawn from the case citing death threats from "angry mobs."
Christopher Darden, a prosecutor in O.J. Simpson's 1995 murder trial, signed on to represent Eric Holder following his arrest on April 2.
But on Friday, the defense lawyer made the surprise announcement in a Facebook post that he was quitting the case.
"I am on my way to appear for the last time in People v. Holder. I filed a motion to withdraw from the case," he wrote. "I thought I should tell you, my friends, first & before anyone else."
Last month the attorney's daughter, Jeneé Darden, went public saying she had been flooded with "vile comments and messages" because of her father's involvement in the case.

Chris Darden confirmed in his post that he and his family had received a series of threats.
"As for my reasons for withdrawing I don't know whether I will disclose them later or not. I only know that as a lawyer it is my duty to protect the rights of my clients even in the face of threats or angry mobs," he said.
"This is the silent solemn oath we took as defense counsel. This is the legacy made for me and all of us who practice as defense counsel in the criminal courts. But allow me to say this; After centuries of a history of black men hung from trees without trial, or after the thousands of cases of black men tried, convicted and executed without counsel; after Gideon v. Wainwright & Powell v. Alabama, I cannot understand why in 2019 some people would deny a black man his 6th Amendment right to counsel of his choice," he continued.
"To those who issued those threats to my children please pay close attention so there is no misunderstanding. Later. F-CK YOU! As for me, I continue to thrive," the attorney added.
Holder, 29, is accused of shooting Hussle multiple times on March 31, in front of the Grammy-nominated rapper's Marathon Clothing store in South Los Angeles. Two other men were injured in the shooting. The LAPD said the violence stemmed from some type of personal dispute between Hussle, real name Ermias Asghedom, and the suspect.
Holder pleaded not guilty to murder and two counts of attempted murder last month.
He was scheduled to make another court appearance on Friday.
In a separate development this week, Marathon Clothing announced on Instagram that its flagship store had closed down. Online sales will continue, the statement said.

Nokia selected by Globe Telecom to rollout 5G in the Philippines in three-year deal
Supports network modernization and 5G rollout plan in key geographic areas
Nokia to supply its AirScale portfolio for superior connectivity experiences
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that it has been selected by Globe Telecom in a three-year deal to upgrade its existing 4G network, as well as expand the geographical reach of its 5G network at over 1,000 sites in the Philippines. The deployment will cover the second and third largest islands of Mindanao and Visayas and will begin in Q2 2021 with completion expected in 2023.
Under the terms of the agreement, Nokia will provide equipment and services from its comprehensive 5G AirScale portfolio to build out the Radio Access Network (RAN), including base stations and other radio access products. Globe Telecom will also use Nokia's high-capacity AirScale massive MIMO Adaptive Antenna solution, which utilizes the latest 64TR radios, to boost coverage and performance.
Utilizing the new 3.5GHz spectrum band for dense urban coverage, Globe Telecom will be able to provide end-users with high peak speeds typical on 5G network. The deal will also see the expansion of the existing FDD/TDD LTE network infrastructure. These solutions will enable Globe Telecom to roll out 5G services across the two major islands of the Philippines and offer customers superior speeds, capacity, and lower latencies while reducing complexity.
Nokia will provide its NetAct solution for network management and seamless daily network operations as well as deliver digital design and deployment and optimization and technical support services.

Developer, city sued in Sparks casino deal
News | October 8, 2006
SPARKS (AP) – Opponents of a neighborhood casino backed by developer Harvey Whittemore have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to void a controversial settlement that allowed the project to move forward.
The lawsuit was filed Friday in Washoe District Court by John Ascuaga's Nugget and 17 citizens who say the settlement allowed the city of Sparks and Whittemore's Red Hawk Land Co. to circumvent zoning regulations.
The Sparks City Council voted against the Lazy 8 in August, leading developers to sue the city for $100 million.
The city settled the lawsuit a week later by allowing Whittemore and Peppermill Casinos to continue with the project. The settlement – first approved in a secret meeting and later during a public vote – essentially reversed the council vote.
The new lawsuit says the developers' lawsuit was "trumped up," and that City Council members didn't fully consider their legal options. The agreement also circumvented a required master plan amendment, the lawsuit says.
Plaintiffs are seeking an independent judicial review of the settlement, and want to reinstate the council's 3-2 vote against the casino from Aug. 24.
"My clients have stated throughout these proceedings they just want to see that the proper process is followed," Nugget lawyer Stephen Peek said in a prepared statement.
"Everyone should play by the same rules, and in this case the city dismissed the fact that a master plan amendment is required to approve the Lazy 8 project."
Sparks City Attorney Chet Adams said the city had expected the suit.
"They've made it very clear to us they are going to do this, along with their other campaigns to attack the settlement," said Adams, who is facing a recall effort launched by other citizens because they dislike how he handled the Lazy 8 controversy.
Whittemore is trying to move a casino approved but never built in a northeast Sparks housing development to a location about a mile west in the Tierra del Sol development on the east side of Pyramid Highway.
Red Hawk spokesman Carlos Vasquez said he could not comment on the suit because the defendants had not been served as of Friday afternoon.

Russia is Upset that Ukraine is Armed with U.S. Built Ships
VIDEO ABOVE: Northrop Grumman Electronic Warfare Saves Ships: Takes Out Enemy Missiles
by Caleb Larson
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense said that this security package will provide "various means of surveillance, counter-artillery fire, vehicles, medical equipment, cyber security systems and countering Russian propaganda, etc. to our state."
Although Ukraine has received assistance in their land war against Russian-backed separatists, including some of America's powerful Javelin anti-tank missiles, this latest aid package is focused on naval support. "Support of the Ukrainian Navy is an important part of the assistance, which should contribute to the establishment of stability and security in the Azov and Black Sea regions," the Ministry stated.
In November of 2018, the Russian FSB violently captured three Ukrainian patrol boats that were transitioning through the Kerch Strait into the Sea of Azov northwest of Russian-occupied Crimea. During that action, twenty-four Ukrainian sailors were detained. Though the soldiers were eventually repatriated to Ukraine, the three Ukrainian ships—one corvette, one minesweeper, and one smaller-sized gunboat were not. Combined with Ukrainian Navy defections to Russia during the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, Ukraine's Black Sea fleet is depleted and understrength.
In June, the State Department approved a $600 million sale of sixteen Mark VI Patrol Boats to Ukraine. These boats would help "improve Ukraine's capability to meet current and future threats by providing a modern, fast, short-range vessel. Ukraine will utilize the vessels to better defend its territorial waters and protect other maritime interests."
The Sea of Azov is relatively shallow, making it difficult for larger blue-water ships to operate—but the Mark VIs are optimized for near-shore operations.
The Mark VIs are small, fast littoral boats, designed to operate close to shore where they can conduct maritime patrols, boarding operations and interdictions, or support special operations missions. They have a shallow draft, the measure between the hull bottom and waterline, allowing the quick boats to get close into shore. And these boats are armed to the teeth.
In addition to two .50 caliber machine guns, there are multiple points for other smaller machine guns to be mounted In American service, the Mark VI is armed with a large 30 millimeter cannon, though in Ukrainian service the larger main gun was not approved. Still, the Ukrainian boats have space onboard for two 25 millimeter guns.
Island Class
In addition to the Mark VIs, the United States sent two Coast Guard Island-class cutters to Ukraine last year. The retired boats are part of a four-boat cutter donation that is intended to beef up Ukraine's naval defenses. Last summer, Ukrainian sailors conducted training in Baltimore, Maryland to familiarize themselves with the boat's navigation system and bridge controls. These cutters are relatively lightly armed and sport at least two .50 caliber machine guns and a single 25-millimeter chain gun.
Though somewhat symbolic, American naval support affirms the United States' commitment to Ukraine. Still, with Russia possibly in violation of the Montreux Convention, a few patrol boats won't tip the balance of power in Ukraine's favor. Still, it is the support that Ukraine desperately needs.
