Judge rules Pritzker's stay-at-home order an overreach
Associated Press|April 27, 2020
Ted Schurter/The State Journal-Register via AP
In this April 25, 2020 file photo, Illinois State Rep. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, right, speaks at a protest against Gov. J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order in front of the Capitol building in Springfield, Ill., during the coronavirus outbreak. A judge in southern Illinois ruled Monday, April 27, 2020, that Pritzker's stay-at-home order to stem the spread of the coronavirus exceeds his emergency authority and violates individual civil rights.
A judge in southern Illinois ruled Monday that Gov. J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order to stem the spread of the coronavirus exceeds his emergency authority and violates individual civil rights.
Clay County Circuit Judge Michael McHaney sided with Republican Rep. Darren Bailey, who sought a temporary restraining order against the Democratic governor's far-reaching executive decree. Pritzker has relied on an April 2 statewide disaster declaration as authority to close schools, shut down nonessential businesses and limit movement by individuals from their homes because of the potentially deadly COVID-19.
Pritzker accused Bailey, a Xenia resident, of being "blindly devoted to ideology and the pursuit of personal celebrity."
"It's insulting. It's dangerous and people's safety and health have now been put at risk," Pritzker said. "There may be people who contract coronavirus as a result of what Darren Bailey has done."
Bailey said he's trying to protect civil liberties and rejected Pritzker's criticism. He said state law gives the governor emergency authority for 30 days, but Pritzker last week extended through May what is now a 37-day order. The state's own pandemic response plan indicates the job now belongs to county health departments, Bailey said.
Pritzker promised "swift" action to overturn the judge's order, which applies only to Bailey but allows other individuals and groups to challenge the movement restrictions while the highly contagious illness circulates. Bailey said he considered inviting a group of taxpayers to join him but his lawyer suggested a decision would come more quickly if he acted alone.
"We continue now to do what we do best: Live safely, respectfully and … to take certain precautions, but not to be limited by government," Bailey said outside the courthouse.
The ruling came the same day House Republicans attacked Pritzker on another front, renewing demands for details on state prison inmates released early because of COVID-19 fears.
Pritzker signed an order earlier this month allowing furloughs for elderly inmates or those with health conditions, who are considered "medically vulnerable" to contracting and spreading COVID-19. Roughly 36,000 people are incarcerated in Illinois facilities and civil rights advocates have raised concerns about inmate welfare.
GOP lawmakers contended their requests for details on how release decisions are made and who's been freed have been ignored.
"Our concern is that the governor and IDOC are using this pandemic as a way to push their political agenda of releasing inmates, rather than actually looking out for the public safety," said Rep. Avery Bourne of Morrisonville.
State officials have not been specific on the numbers.
Illinois' prison population has been reduced by about 1,300 inmates, Pritzker said Monday, but he didn't specify a timeline or breakdown. He said he would gladly provide the necessary numbers and his spokeswoman suggested contacting IDOC for the information.
But in response to an Associated Press public records request for the names of inmates released because of the pandemic, IDOC provided a link to an online document showing all inmates released since March 1. The list of roughly 3,900 inmates doesn't include the reasons for their release.
An IDOC spokeswoman didn't return a message seeking comment Monday.
There have been coronavirus outbreaks at the state's correctional facilities. State data show 153 inmates have tested positive for COVID-19, with the vast majority at Stateville Correction Center in Crest Hill, where there have been 10 deaths. Overall, 147 corrections employees have also tested positive, with 74 at Stateville.
For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or modest symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe life-threatening illness, including pneumonia.
Illinois officials reported 50 new deaths related to COVID-19 Monday, bringing the total statewide death toll to 1,983. The Illinois Department of Public Health also reported 1,980 new cases, for a total of 45,883 in Illinois.

Part 159: Mission 45 (Moon Route) - Prologue
I'll just skip the intermission and jump straight into the prologue, to better keep track of which route provides the most
We find ourselves on the Security Council's base on the moon, where Natarle, now captain of the Dominion, is introducing herself to Muruta Azrael, chairman of the UN's security council.
Azrael quips that he didn't expect such a young and beautiful woman to be the Captain, which only marks Natarle uncomfortable.
Either way, his official reason for being aboard the Dominion is to be an "observer" of the three new MS's it carries, designed for pilots called "biological CPUs; he's even got a mission lined up: picking up a present from a certain knowledgeable Santa and, also, a shot at taking down the Archangel.
Azrael is quite eager to see Natarle prove her mettle (and her ship) by wiping out her former commander...
It's a day after Christmas and Kazuma's isn't feeling very jolly considering all the bad things that happened.
Our people are en route from the moon to the L4 point to rendezvous with the Archangel; Kazuma doesn't have details, but he's heard that Athrun found a new ally back at Plant.
Speaking of Plant, Siegel Klein's been executed, ostensibly for opposing the hawkish Patrick Zara's regime; Galent informed that it was actually an assassination, but our people can't militarily intervene in the conflict between Earth and Plant, since we're trying to remain neutral in the conflict.
He wonders if we can really stop the Martian Successors' final plan under such confusing circumstances…
Kazuma closes the log entry by saying he wants to believe his feelings of gloom are solely due to that lonely Christmas...
The L4 rendezvous will take place at the Mendel colony, abandoned since before the Jovian War due to some kind of biohazard incident.
Although it's been sterilized since, it's never been put back into service; that, and the fact that many lives were lost there, would keep anyone in their right mind away - fortunately our people aren't in their right minds.
Yumi is a bit scared to go to such a place but Hayato promises to keep her safe and this makes Dead and David comment on how the kid is manning up for his girl (which makes Hayato start bumbling with words).
Cagalli tries to get them to stop but that merely changes the focus on the teasing towards her, who's clearly stressed and worried ever since her "beloved" Athrun left for Plant.
It makes sense, though, anyone would be worried if their boy/girlfriend went into enemy territory with little backup; Cagalli, of course, goes full-on tsundere and insists that she has no such feelings for the guy (still, Yumi and the Morgenleite girls are rooting for her).
Kira would be lying if he said he wasn't a little worried about Athrun too, but he believes in his best friend.
Tomoru then comes over with some questions.
He's wondering if Kira is a "typical" Coordinator, considering that his combat prowess seems to be quite higher than the others.
Kira maintains that he's entirely typical, and that he's nowhere near as cool as many people on our team; Tomoru is far from convinced, remembering Michi's mentioning that Ruri and Kira were different somehow.
Just what is his secret, anyway?

Another last-ditch effort to tackle Obamacare stalls within hours of its release – Washington Post
cited in article October 17, 2017 Another last-ditch effort to tackle Obamacare stalls within hours of its release – Washington Post2017-10-17T23:37:26+00:00 Red Sox News No Comment
Yet another last-ditch effort to tackle the nation's health-care system stalled within hours of its release by a bipartisan pair of senators Tuesday, with President Trump sending mixed signals and Republicans either declining to endorse the proposal or outright opposing it.
The week began on Capitol Hill with a renewed sense of urgency to craft legislation following Trump's decision last week to end key payments to health insurers that help millions of lower-income Americans afford coverage but that the president argued were illegal under the Affordable Care Act.
The compromise offered by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) on Tuesday proposes authorizing those payments for two years in exchange for granting states greater flexibility to regulate health coverage under the ACA. Those payments help offset deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs for low-income consumers who obtain insurance through the law; critics of Trump's decision said eliminating the subsidies would cause insurers to back out of marketplaces across the country.
The measure presented congressional Republicans with an uncomfortable choice between helping sustain coverage for many Americans and making good on a long-standing campaign promise — and paying the consequences — by allowing the ACA to falter.
Senate Republican leaders did not immediately endorse the proposal. Influential House Republicans panned the blueprint and the White House offered conflicting reviews.
In an address at a Heritage Foundation dinner Tuesday in the District, Trump commended "the bipartisan work" of Alexander and Murray but said that a longer-term fix is needed.
"Not as easy as we thought, but we're going to get it done. You watch," Trump said.
The discord swiftly cast the plan's viability into serious doubt.
"None of our guys voted for Obamacare," Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), a close ally of House GOP leadership, said in an interview. "They're not very interested in sustaining it."
Trump stopped the CSR payments last week, arguing that the subsidies were illegal because they were not explicitly authorized under the ACA, and he instructed Congress to decide whether to appropriate the funding. He initially expressed support for the Alexander-Murray plan to re-up the subsidy funding — then he appeared to be setting the stage to walk that back as he blamed Democrats for problems with health care.
"Yes, we have been involved and this is a short-term deal," said Trump at a joint news conference with the prime minister of Greece. He said the plan would "get us over this intermediate hump," and allow Republicans to later revisit efforts to aggressively undo the ACA.
Later in the day, however, the president tweeted: "Any increase in ObamaCare premiums is the fault of the Democrats for giving us a "product" that never had a chance of working."
Senate Republican leaders were also less than enthusiastic.
"We haven't had a chance to think about the way forward yet," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at his weekly news conference, minutes after Alexander announced the deal about 20 feet away, outside a Republican policy luncheon.
[States scramble for solutions for insurers that were counting on Obamacare payments]
A leading House conservative was outright hostile. "The GOP should focus on repealing & replacing Obamacare, not trying to save it. This bailout is unacceptable," said Rep. Mark Walker (R-N.C.) in a statement posted on Twitter. Walker is the chairman of the influential Republican Study Committee.
Alexander said the deal he struck with Murray would extend CSR payments for two years and provide states "meaningful flexibility" under the ACA, allowing them to make changes to insurance offerings as long as the plans had "comparable affordability," which is a slightly looser definition than the existing one.
In an interview, Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) said both parties made concessions to produce a deal that would "stabilize the Affordable Care Act and undo a good amount of the sabotage that we've seen in recent days."
"Each side had to give some, but that's what this is all about," Schumer added.
The framework would also allow insurers to offer catastrophic insurance plans to consumers aged 30 and older on ACA exchanges, while maintaining a single risk pool. It would shorten the time period for federal review of state waiver applications, expedite review for states in emergency circumstances and those with waiver proposals that have already been approved for other states, and allow governors to approve state waiver applications rather than requiring state legislative approval.
Alexander emphasized that the legislation would not allow states to change the essential benefits insurers are now required to offer individuals and small businesses under the ACA, or let insurers discriminate against consumers with preexisting conditions. "This takes care of the next two years," the senator said, standing off to the side as other GOP leaders stood before television cameras talking primarily about tax legislation. "After that we can have a full-fledged debate on where we go long-term on health care."
Trump's decision to halt CSR payments last Thursday came a week after he had called Schumer to ask him to "work together on a bipartisan solution to health care," in the senator's words, and had empowered Alexander to negotiate with Murray.
Schumer said that he realizes Trump may push later on for repealing the ACA outright, "and we will fight him tooth and nail." But he added, "In the short run, stability is in his interest, because otherwise its lands at his doorstep."
Still, it remains unclear how Trump will choose to speak about the bipartisan deal in the coming weeks and days, and whether recalcitrant conservatives will come along.
The first test will come in the Senate, where lingering hard feelings from the failed attempts to repeal and replace the ACA remain. Senate GOP leaders have moved on to tax cuts, their next big legislative undertaking.
After Trump voiced his support for the health-care compromise, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), McConnell's top lieutenant, was unwilling to commit to it.
"I think Sen. Alexander's done good work. And to me, it really depends on a few things," said Cornyn, wondering aloud whether the proposal is "compatible" with the GOP's larger repeal and replace goal.
Earlier Tuesday, Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.), who was golfing with Trump on Saturday when the president discussed the prospect of negotiations on the phone with Alexander, said that even if a deal is struck, it may not be enough of an overhaul to satisfy core Republican voters.
"That will be his challenge, how much is enough? I can't support the payments until you get some reform, but I realize that for the base, it's going to be about not keeping Obamacare in place," Graham told reporters.
In advance of the deal's announcement, many Republican senators were already distancing themselves from the emerging plan.
"I don't know. I'm not sure what the Senate should do," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) Tuesday morning.
In the House, which passed an ACA repeal bill, there appeared to be even less appetite for a bill that bolsters an element the law they have pilloried for seven years without more forcefully rolling back other parts of it.
"This is like we have to fix the Senate's failure," said Cole. Using a football analogy, he blamed Senate Republicans for fumbling the ball on the one-yard line.
In the eyes of Cole and other leading Republicans, the party's congressional majorities were put at risk by the unsuccessful repeal push. With Trump's former chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon already threatening primary challenges against senators up in 2018, some fear that asking lawmakers to reinforce the bill they tried to undo is simply not a defensible position.
On the other hand, doing nothing is also likely to spur criticism of the Republicans.
As senators announced their agreement, a new analysis emerged Tuesday showing the large stakes for insurers in the short term if the cost-sharing payments are not restored. By the end of 2017, health plans will lose more than $1 billion nationwide, according to the analysis by Avalere Health, a Washington-based consulting firm.
Both state and industry officials welcomed the prospect of a possible deal on the subsidies, but they also warned that it could come too late given that the 45-day open enrollment period for the ACA begins Nov. 1.
The timing — just two weeks before the start of the fifth enrollment season for ACA coverage — could mean havoc back in states, where some insurance regulators already are reeling from Trump's decision to stop funding CSRs.
"It is better for consumers to have CSRs funded, but the timing is so short I am concerned," said Tennessee Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak, the incoming president of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. If the deal becomes law, she said, insurers would be able to lower their rates in ACA marketplaces, "but I don't know that we have time to do that before open enrollment."
It appears likely that the vast majority of Senate Democrats will back the measure: Murray received round of applause from her colleagues when she announced the details of the agreement in their weekly caucus lunch, according to participants, and no one expressed dissent.
Still, Democrats said that they wanted to read the details of the bill. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said that the idea of expanding the availability of catastrophic plans on the ACA market and making state waivers easier to obtain "is not insignificant."
Even if Democrats embrace the plan in large numbers, Murphy said, Republicans could ultimately block its passage.
"It is not a done deal that this agreement reached by Senators Alexander and Murray will ever become law," he said.

Lawrence University Jazz Series Welcomes Jeremy Pelt Quintet Feb. 17
Award-winning trumpet player Jeremy Pelt and his four-member band make their Lawrence University debut Friday, February 17 at 8 p.m. in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel as part of the college's 2011-12 Jazz Series.
Tickets, at $22-20 for adults, $19-17 for seniors and $17-15 for students, are available through the Lawrence Box Office in the Music-Drama Center, 920-832-6749.
Since its formation in 2007, the Pelt Quintet has emerged as one of jazz's top-tier mainstream performers. The band recently returned from an international tour that took them throughout Europe as well as Turkey and India and celebrated the release of their fourth album, "Soul," which features six works written by Pelt.
Legendary jazz writer, producer and former associate editor of DownBeat magazine Nat Hentoff has said "It is the beat of Jeremy Pelt's heart…that underscores the future of jazz."
A California native who began playing the trumpet in elementary school, Pelt has earned the repeated praise of DownBeat and the Jazz Journalist Association, both of which have named him a "rising star" on trumpet five years in a row. His early focus was on classical studies, but in high school his interests in jazz emerged. He went on to study jazz performance and film studies at Boston's Berklee College of Music.
He played his first professional gig with the Mingus Big Band and since making his home in New York, Pelt has performed with jazz icons Roy Hargrove, Ravi Coltrane, Greg Osby and Cassandra Wilson, among others.
"Jeremy's Quintet brings a performing style to Lawrence's Jazz Series that we haven't witnessed on campus since the Mingus Big Band was here in 2003," said Fred Sturm, director of jazz studies and improvisational music at Lawrence. "It's too confining to dub it 'hard bop,' though Jeremy is obviously influenced by the great lineage of hard bop era trumpeters Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard and others. Jeremy and the guys bring their unique individual musical histories to the table, drawing upon influences as far ranging as Louis Armstrong and hip hop. I suspect what we'll hear may best be described as 'contemporary straight ahead jazz.'"
In addition to leading is own band — tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen, pianist Danny Grissett, Dwayne Burno on bass and drummer Gerald Cleaver — Pelt is member of the Lewis Nash Septet and The Cannonball Adderley Legacy Band featuring Louis Hayes.
"I'm anxious for our jazz students to hear and interact with Jeremy and his band," said Sturm. "This is a young jazz artist who is only a decade farther down the road than our upperclassmen. It will be inspirational for the students to witness what big-league talent and dedication will earn you in a rigorous and competitive domain."
In addition to "Soul," Pelt's discography includes 2011's "Talented Mr. Pelt," "November," released in 2008 and 2005's "Identity."
Founded in 1847, Lawrence University uniquely integrates a college of liberal arts and sciences with a world-class conservatory of music, both devoted exclusively to undergraduate education. Ranked among America's best colleges, it was selected for inclusion in the book "Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College." Individualized learning, the development of multiple interests and community engagement are central to the Lawrence experience. Lawrence draws its 1,445 students from 44 states and 35 countries.

Lawrence University Unveils "Stunning" 2011-2012 Performing Artist and Jazz Series Lineup
Eleven time Grammy® winning jazz pianist and composer Lyle Mays returns to Wisconsin in November in one of eight thrilling Lawrence University Performing Artist and Jazz Series concerts lined up for the 2011-2012 season.
Recognized around the world as a master of the keyboard, Mays has toured with Woody Herman's Young Thundering Herd, performed with jazz and pop icons Ricky Lee Jones, Joni Mitchell and Bobby McFerrin, and established a 35-year musical collaboration as an integral member of the Pat Metheny Group.
Lyle Mays
A native of Wausaukee, Mays takes the Lawrence Memorial Chapel stage Nov. 5, 2011, with the Lawrence Faculty Jazz Trio, the Lawrence Studio Orchestra and the Lawrence Jazz Ensemble as part of Jazz Celebration Weekend.
"We've put together a stunning lineup of musical performances with something for everyone," said Brian Pertl, dean of the Lawrence Conservatory of Music. "If you've never been to Lawrence for a concert, the performers in this series will blow you away."
The series kicks off Oct. 14, with the Turtle Island Quartet, winners of the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album, "A Love Supreme." Turtle Island fuses a classical string quartet aesthetic with contemporary American musical styles, redefining the state of the art. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma called Turtle Island "a reflection of some of the most creative music-making today."
On Oct. 24, renowned pianist Richard Goode brings his tremendous emotional power, depth and expressiveness to the Lawrence campus. Goode's music making has inspired critics around the world to utter such praise as "you'd swear the composer himself was at the keyboard, expressing musical thoughts that had just come into his head."
Joining Mays for Jazz Celebration Weekend Nov. 4-5 is the Tierney Sutton Band, which celebrated its third consecutive Grammy nomination for Best Vocal Jazz Album for 2009's "Desire." The album was described as a "conceptual masterpiece" by the Chicago Sun Times and critics call the Tierney Sutton Band's music enduring, conveying "a sense of spiritual meditation… and a pure jazz spirit."
The artist and jazz series continues Feb. 17, 2012 with the Jeremy Pelt Quintet. One of the most talked about jazz trumpeters of the past decade, Pelt and his band mates "swing hard, and they swagger in their arrangements," said reviewer Jeff Krow. "Pelt is at the peak of his powers with the power and range of Lee Morgan and Freddie Hubbard in their seminal years."
So Percussion creates music not easy to define, exploring all the extremes of emotion and musical possibility. The quartet, performing March 10, 2012 at Lawrence, has been called an "experimental powerhouse" by the Village Voice, "astonishing and entrancing" by Billboard Magazine and "brilliant" by the New York Times. Edgy (at least in the sense that little other music sounds like this) and ancient (in that people have been hitting objects for eons), they are among today's most exciting composers and their own original music has quickly helped them forge a unique and diverse career.
Hailed as "the world's reigning male chorus," by The New Yorker magazine, Chanticleer performs at Lawrence Memorial Chapel April 13, 2012. Chanticleer is known as "an orchestra of voices" for the seamless blend of its 12 male voices ranging from countertenor to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, and from gospel to new music.
The Performing Artist and Jazz Series closes May 11, 2012, with a performance by the extraordinary Panamanian pianist and composer Danilo Perez. His distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz has attracted critical acclaim and his abundant talents and enthusiasm make his concerts memorable and inspiring. Perez will perform with the Lawrence Faculty Jazz Trio.
Subscriptions for the series are on sale now and subscribers may choose from the artist, jazz, or "favorite 4" concert packages, with discounts available to senior citizens and students. Single-concert tickets go on sale Sept. 15, 2011. Contact the Lawrence University Box Office at 920-832-6749 or visit http://www.lawrence.edu/news/performingartsseries for more information.

March 2, 2018, 22:02 GMT-0500 Overwatch / Los Angeles Gladiators / Overwatch League / Seoul Dynasty /
Seoul Dynasty surprise Los Angeles Gladiators with Fleta's Doomfist
They secured a series win thanks to their secret weapon.
Samuel Lingle
The Seoul Dynasty entered Hollywood in a tie series against the Los Angeles Gladiators, who just swept Seoul on Nepal to show they aren't scared of the Korean juggernaut. But the Dynasty had a secret weapon: Doomfist.
The big brawler may be a strong pick against tank-heavy compositions, as his Rocket Punch and Rising Uppercut combo is capable of dashing and smashing through shields, but he's rarely seen play in an Overwatch League where dive is the primary meta. On Hollywood, though, the close confines of the control point and narrow halls of the midsection give Doomfist plenty of space to blast his foes against the wall and crush them.
The Dynasty played a standard, if passive, defense, eventually adjusting and holding the Gladiators just before the first checkpoint. Then it was Doomfist time.
Kim "Fleta" Byung-sun showed why he's the most feared DPS player in the league by pulling out another weapon and dazzling. Backed by three tanks, including Reinhart, the Dynasty rushed the control point and Fleta wreaked havoc. Fleta jumped into the house and deleted the Gladiators' Winston, Baek "Fissure" Chan-hyung, by crushing him into the wall to open the killing. Seoul secured the point in short order.
The carnage continued in the midsection.
The Gladiators didn't know what hit them.
Seoul then quickly closed out the series on Gibraltar, taking a 3-1 win.
Doomfist isn't a hero for which you normally prepare. He's only seen play on a handful of maps by a handful of teams so far in the OWL. He's one of the toughest heroes to play in the game, with low survivability unless you land every one of your abilities. But the Seoul Dynasty and Fleta pulled him out and took full advantage of his kit, scoring them an easy win at a critical time in the series.

This Day in History… December 12, 1908
Issue of America's Most Artistic Stamp
U.S. #E7 – Click on the image for more conditions and to order for your collection.
On December 12, 1908, the Post Office Department issued #E7, the 10¢ Helmet of Mercury Special Delivery stamp. Though unpopular at the time, many today consider it to be one of America's most creative stamp designs.
Special Delivery service began on October 1, 1885, offering faster delivery for an extra cost. The original Special Delivery stamps were blue and larger than regular postage stamps so busy postal clerks could easily recognize them.
U.S. #E1 – The first Special Delivery stamp issued in 1885.
Over the years the design was tweaked, changing the wording and the design, from a running messenger to a bike messenger. Then in 1908, a drastically different design appeared. Whitney Warren, a famous New York City architect, designed #E7. His highly conceptual design incorporated a winged hat to symbolize speedy delivery. The symbol was borrowed from the ancient Roman god Mercury, messenger of the gods, the god of roads and travel, as well as the god of commerce, property, and wealth.
Greece #6 pictures the Greek God Hermes, the basis for the Roman God Mercury.
Mercury delivered messages wearing a winged hat and winged sandals, carrying a snake-entwined staff to protect him in his travels. Mortal messengers in ancient times wore hats similar to Mercury's and carried staffs as identification guaranteeing freedom of passage. It was the perfect symbol for modern special delivery workers for whom speed was essential.
Unfortunately, the Helmet of Mercury stamp was disliked from the beginning: first by designers and engravers at the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, then by postal clerks, and finally by the American public. It's believed the BEP disliked the E7 because an arrogant outsider created it. Whitney Warren had designed New York City landmarks: Grand Central Station, the New York Yacht Club, and the Biltmore, Roosevelt, and Commodore Hotels. But the BEP didn't think that made him a good stamp designer. Warren irritated the touchy situation by refusing to accept the BEP's design changes (which were actually rather minor). He hired a European to engrave his original design and sent it to Washington. Needless to say, there was considerable ill will as the E7 rolled off the presses December 12, 1908.
U.S. #4739 – The same man that designed #E7 also designed Grand Central.
Records state the E7 was constantly mistaken for the 1907 Captain John Smith one-cent commemorative (Scott # 328). Such mistakes meant letters didn't receive the special handling customers had paid for. Overnight, the stamp was sarcastically nicknamed "The Merry Widow," after a Broadway play running at the time. Americans of the era were extremely practical – many felt the stamp's design was frivolous. The demise of the Merry Widow was sealed with the retirement of Postmaster General Myer on March 6, 1909. His successor, Frank H. Hitchcock, discontinued the E7 June 9th, 1909. By popular demand, the ultramarine Messenger on Bicycle (E6) was reactivated. Interestingly, the E7 stamp was never demonetized and it remains valid postage to this day.
U.S. #E7 Mint Plate Block.
The Helmet of Mercury stamp is scarce today – it was on sale at U.S. post offices for only six short months! It is also scarce because fewer of these special delivery stamps were issued than regular stamps. In fact, the E7 had only one press run for a total issue of 3,876,551 stamps! Records state it was controversial and the most disliked stamp issued by the Post Office up to that date. Today however, the E7 is regarded as the most artistic stamp ever produced in the United States.

All this in the day of the "Mercury headed" dimes.
By ARG December 12, 2017 - 2:24 pm
The stamp came out 8 years earlier than the first Mercury dimes. She first appeared on our coinage in 1916, and was not called Mercury, but Liberty. She was obviously more popular than the stamp as she lasted until 1945, when FDR died and the coin was changed to memorialize him.

Oahu is a varied island, renowned for its surfing, particularly during the winter months (October to March). It is also famous for Pearl Harbour which is located in the southern part of the island. The sandy white beaches are crowded during the day, except in the south where they are less picturesque so tend to be occupied by the locals. The biggest resort area is four mile-long Waikiki beach, covered in hundreds of high rise hotels. Beyond Waikiki accommodation is sparser. The southwest coast is the driest region of Oahu and Makaha is characterised by mountain views and rough surf. The north shore at Waimea Valley is covered by tropical forest, where hiking and cycling is possible.
Diving in Oahu offers wrecks and reefs for all experiences. The good visibility and shallower reefs are ideal for those learning to dive and the caverns and wrecks are something a little more challenging for advanced divers. The Waianae Coast is an outstanding place to dive during the summer months, as are locations around Diamond Head, the North Shore and Makapuu's offshore Rabbit Island. Conditions can be poor at times, but generally if one dive site is blown out another one will be fine on the other side of the island.

Equalization or EQ is the process of accentuating or attenuating the frequency levels of an audio signal. Treble or Bass control form the most basic type of eq, found in most of the home audio systems. The bass control makes adjustments in low frequencies whereas Treble control modulates high frequencies. However, this is just about sufficient for a certain range of frequencies and not the entire spectrum. An audio signal is made out of frequencies from 20hz to 20,000Hz and a mixing engineer has to Eq all of these.
There are two meanings of equalization. The proportionate balance between different frequencies is known as "the equalization". Also, modifying the "loudness" of different frequencies in context to each other is called equalization. Both have the purpose of restoring the frequency balance in the recording to make it exactly similar to the original one.
An equalizer is regarded as the most important component of mixing and mastering. During the sound recording processes, unwanted frequencies are introduced in the audio signal. These are primarily due to the room acoustics. Each piece of recording equipment, from the mics to the mixing desk, also add certain frequencies to the audio signal. There are many other factors responsible for the variance, as original sound can never be replicated perfectly into any recording.
It is only an Eq which can rectify the errors incurred during recording as well as create unique and 'out of the box' effects for your music. Each track in the song has to sit right in the frequency spectrum. The bass should not interfere with the bass drum; the guitars should not fight with the vocals. Eq helps in separating the frequencies of each track and give them their own space in the mix. Eq can make your music sound better to the ears by removing all harshness and rounding the audio.
Fixed EQs: This is the most basic type of Equalizer and is often found on smaller, less expensive sound mixer. They are not designed to make fine adjustments but can provide an overall tidy effect to the sound.
Sweepable Mid's (also known as semi- parametric) This type of equalization with sweepable mid is commonly found on average priced desks. Although both their low plus high frequencies are fixed (At 80 Hz and 12 KHz) they do possess a few EQs that are sweepable. In simple words, these allow you to choose the frequency, thus making them a better option than Fixed EQ.
For accurate EQing of sound signals, opt for Parametric EQ. These are the most flexible one and give you full control on the amount of frequencies to be removed. They are usually found on expensive mixing consoles or as software plugins.
Graphic EQ: This particular EQ is way different from the above mentioned ones. Graphic EQs have several sliders, beginning from 20 Hz to 20 Khz and beyond. They are often utilized in live performances on a mixing console to quickly handle any sound related problem that arises.
With advancement of equalization systems, a fine level of frequency adjustment is now possible. The secret is to master the ability to control a narrower frequency range and that too without impacting the neighboring frequencies. An Eq is a very powerful tool and it can make or break a mix.

Q: Common Mod Rewrite rule for two different pages? I have one question can i use a common mod rewrite rule for two or more different pages? As for example i have two pages and below rewrite rule should work.
RewriteRule /(.*)\.html aboutus.php?pg=$1 [QSA]
RewriteRule /(.*)\.html profile.php?pg=$1 [QSA]

But can i use some common rule so i don't have to repeat above for every page?

A: Unless you add a RewriteCond only the first rule will have any effect because the first regex captures anything that ends with .html and then modifies it such that rule #2 will not match.
Request Example: http://domain.com/something/something/something.html?k=v

*

*/something/something/something.html matches /(.*)\.html

*rewrites to aboutus.php?pg=something/something/something&k=v

*No L flag - continue to next RewriteRule

*aboutus.php?pg=something/something/something&k=v does not match /(.*)\.html

*serve aboutus.php?pg=something/something/something&k=v

Movies Ranked
The Best Action TV Shows on Netflix

'Fauda' | Netflix
They say "lights! camera! action!" for a reason, and while that has nothing to do with the genre of a television show, well, it's fun to watch people shoot guns, play with swords, and get into fistfights without anyone actually getting hurt (usually). After all, "acting" is just "action" with a "g" instead of an "o," in a slightly different place.
So let's give the people what they want: the best action television shows on Netflix.
More From Stream On

The Most Romantic Movies on Netflix
The TV Shows to Binge on Amazon Prime Right Now
The Best Movies You Can Actually Download Off Netflix
The 100 (2014- )
How many post-apocalyptic shows starring attractive young people do we really need? Apparently, one more! The 100, which was adapted from a YA series by writer Kass Morgan, is about a team of teens sent down to bombed-out Earth from a colony floating in space. Inevitably, things go wrong: Warring factions emerge, hearts get broken, and, as is required by TV law, beloved characters are killed. Don't let the show's soapy veneer fool you; this is dark, thoughtful material in a slick, teen-friendly package.
Daredevil (2015-2018)
Marvel's inaugural Netflix series delivers R-rated superhero fans exactly what they seem to want: brutality, scenes ripped from comic book splash pages, and minimal thoughtfulness. Charlie Cox stars as a blind Hell's Kitchen lawyer who takes a crime insurgence into own hands under the guise of a sleek red devil. Season 1 pits "The Man Without Fear" against Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk, a classic villain with emotional tics, while Season 2 adds more characters (The Punisher! Electra!) with shallower motivations (kicking ass! More kicking ass!).
Fauda (2015- )
Fauda, an action thriller about an elite team of undercover Israeli commandos working in Palestine, is perhaps the best of Netflix's recent foreign-language shows, a frantically paced and politically charged melodrama filled with sequences of white-knuckle suspense straight out of Homeland or 24. But unlike those spy dramas, Fauda spends nearly as much time on the private lives of Palestinians as it does on its gun-toting heroes. It's got a moral complexity that its more simplistic American counterparts often lack.
The Flash (2014- )
While The CW's Arrow teeters on the edge of self-parodying grimdark nonsense most of the time, the show's DC Comics companion, The Flash, is a lighting-speed breeze. Glee alum Grant Gustin stars as the breaker of sound barriers, who finds himself battling everyone from freeze-gun-wielding mad men to sentient gorillas in an effort to uncover his mother's equally speedy killer, and in later seasons, unpack the multi-dimensional logic enabled by other "speedsters." For all its teen-friendly drama, The Flash never shies away from the comic book nonsense (he said lovingly) or the splash-page action. Finally, our campy superhero TV shows can look and feel like the movies.
Frontier (2016- )
A showcase for the charismatic brutality only Jason Momoa can muster, Frontier is a rollicking Netflix and Discovery Channel Canada co-production about the (literally) cutthroat 18th-century North American fur trade. The adventure series has more in common with breezy syndicated fare like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys than it does with Momoa's star-making Game of Thrones, but if you squint hard enough at the right moment you'll swear that it's Khal Drogo himself cutting off that poor sap's ear.
Into the Badlands (2015-2019)
Taking full advantage of The Walking Dead's rule-breaking violence, this kung-fu series stars Daniel Wu (The Man with the Iron Fists) as the "clipper," henchman trained in the art of backflips and swordplay, for a gun-hoarding "baron" who rules over a dystopian, American future. Slathered with fantastical mythology and artful violence, Into the Badlands is the jump-kicking, comic book-influenced answer to The Hunger Games you never knew you needed.
Myles Aronowitz/Netflix
Jessica Jones (2015-2019)
Like Veronica Mars and many standout British crime series, Jessica Jones follows a private investigator searching for the answer to her own mystery. Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) possess superhuman strength... and crippling PTSD from a run-in with Kilgrave (David Tennant), a troubled man with mind-control powers who forces the heroine to commit heinous acts against her will. The frightful conceit, all-too-real social parallels, and Ritter's roaring performance make this the bar for Marvel's Netflix projects.
The Last Kingdom (2015- )
If you like Game of Thrones, but wish it had zero magic, The Last Kingdom is for you. Set in medieval England, it pits Danish invaders (aka VIKINGS) against the divided kingdoms on the British Isles. At the center of it all is Uhtred, an English noble captured and raised by the Vikings, but who subsequently fights for the English in battles that help "medieval" live up to its reputation as a time when the brutality of humans was perpetually on display in bloody hand-to-hand combat.
David Lee/Netflix
Luke Cage (2016-2018)
As an ex-con turned hero for hire, the TV version of Luke Cage will punch the crime right out of New York. (Seriously, he makes Jason Bourne look like '60s Captain Kirk.) When an experiment goes wrong, he becomes equipped with insane strength, strong-as-steel skin, and badass catchphrases like, "You want some?" Once he's back and literally stronger than ever, as he attempts to rebuild his life and community in Harlem, he's forced to take on more than a handful of risky situations in order to wrestle with his criminal history.
Nikita (2010-2013)
It's bizarre to think that Luc Besson's 1990 French thriller Nikita has inspired not one, but two pulpy action TV shows. The version that's on Netflix is the one that aired on the CW -- not the basic cable version from the late '90s -- and it's reflective of its era, grabbing liberally from ABC's spy hit Alias to craft a story that's packed with whoa-worthy twists, hand-to-hand combat, and ridiculous outfits. Watch it now to become a Nikita expert before the inevitable re-reboot in 10 years.
Queen of the South (2016- )
The English-language adaptation of La Reina del Sur, the popular telenovela starring El Chapo favorite Kate del Castillo. Alice Braga plays Teresa Mendoza, a poor woman from Sinaloa, Mexico who rises to the top of an international drug cartel. As you might expect, doing so requires ruthlessness and dealing with the kind of unsavory characters you probably wouldn't want in your actual life, but who make Queen of the South such a fun ride.
Shooter (2016- )
The main character of Shooter is named "Bob Lee Swagger," which pretty much tells you all you need to know. If the idea of watching a dude named Bob Lee Swagger kill bad guys with expert precision puts a goofy smile on your face, this is the show for you. If not, stay out of its sniper scope. Like the 2007 action movie of the same name, the series is based on a series of novels by writer Stephen Hunter, and it has a vaguely anti-authority conspiracy vibe that connects it to classics like First Blood and Three Days of the Condor. Only with way more guns and Ryan Phillippe instead of Mark Wahlberg. Like I said: Bob Lee Swagger. You're either on board or you're not.
The Umbrella Academy (2019- )
A Netflix series based on an edgy comic written by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way about a bunch of masked superheroes with weird powers who all grew up in a mansion and hate their dad sounds like a very elaborate, very specific joke. But we assure you, it's real, and it's actually pretty good once it finally hits its stride. You'll come for the explosions and time travel and chimpanzee butler, but you'll stay for the oddly affecting portrayal of how sibling relationships grow and powerfully shape each other, for better or for worse.
Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016-2018)
This is not the 1984 cartoon cobbled together from anime scraps and English-speaking voiceover (although Netflix has that too), but a reboot touting sci-fi spectacle that any one, at any age, will obsess over. From the directors The Legend of Korra, Nickelodeon's criminally underrated answer to Game of Thrones, Voltron: Legendary Defender casts the five "paladins," defenders of the universe who ride lion-like mechas into battle against the evil Galra Empire, as a ragtag group of diverse kids in desperate need of direction. They find it in the trenches, where the show mixes space battles and kaiju-vs-mech-warrior martial-arts throwdowns.
The Walking Dead (2010- )
What makes Robert Kirkman's graphic novel-turned-TV saga so great is that it isn't just about curb-stomping zombies:The Walking Dead focuses on complex personal relationships to ask thought-provoking questions about what it means to rebuild society, how to function as a healthy community, and what humanity looks like in a post-apocalyptic age. Just don't get too attached to your favorite characters because even if the zombies are dead, the action is alive and well, and the people who remain live in a very, very unforgiving world.
Wynonna Earp (2016- )
Wynonna Earp is a faster, sexier, funnier show than it has any right to be. The pitch is simple: Buffy: The Vampire Slayer in 2017 with zombies and the great-great-granddaughter of legendary gunslinger Wyatt Earp leading the charge against them. She totes a gigantic, legendary magic pistol called Peacemaker. She has a bumbling, moronic Justin Bieber-lookalike as a sidekick/comic relief. There are several love triangles with the undead. One of those love triangles happens to involve Doc Holliday in the present. Perhaps the best summary of the show is this one-liner in its pilot: "I am the girl. With the big-ass gun." If you can't get on board, you may not like fun.

Junior doctors reject Mamata's talk offer; Delhi doctors' 48-hour ultimatum to meet demands
Doctors' strike in Bengal entered the fifth day today (Saturday, June 15) as they refused to go to Secretariat, turning down West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee's offer for talks, asking her to apologise first, while in Delhi, resident doctors at AIIMS called off their protest Saturday morning, threatening to launch an indefinite stir if the West Bengal government failed to meet the demands of medical practitioners in the state within 48 hours.
The doctors, protesting against the assault on two of their colleagues at NRS Medical College and Hospital, sought unconditional apology from Banerjee and set six conditions for the state government in order to withdraw their stir.
"We want unconditional apology of Mamata Banerjee for the manner in which she had addressed us at the SSKM Hospital yesterday. She should not have said what she had," a spokesperson of the joint forum of junior doctors, Dr Arindam Dutta, said. Banerjee, who visited the state-run SSKM Hospital on Thursday amid slogans of "we want justice", had contended that outsiders were creating disturbances in the medical colleges and the ongoing agitation is a conspiracy by the CPI(M) and the BJP.
The other five conditions include:
Banerjee should visit the injured doctors and the CM's office release statement condemning the attack.
Immediate intervention by the CM in the matter; provide documentary evidence of judicial enquiry against police's inactivity to protect doctors at the NRS Medical College and Hospital
Documentary evidence and details of action taken against attackers
Unconditional withdrawal of all "false cases and charges" imposed on junior doctors and medical students across West Bengal in the wake of their strike
Improvement of infrastructure in healthcare facilities and posting of armed police personnel there.
After the first offer for a meeting was declined for Friday evening, Banerjee sent a fresh invite for Saturday evening, which was also rejected.
A joint forum of junior doctors called the offer a ploy to break the agitation."We are not going to the secretariat upon the invitation of the Chief Minister for the meeting. She will have to come to the Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College and Hospital and deliver an unconditional apology for her comments made during her visit to the SSKM Hospital on Thursday," Arindam Dutta, spokesperson of the joint forum of junior doctors, told PTI.
"If she can go to the SSKM she can also come to the NRS… or else this agitation will go on," Dutta said.
The Chief Minister on Thursday said that the protesting doctors at Kolkata's SSKM "abused" her when she visited the hospital. "They can oppose me, they can hurl abuses at me. I don't mind because they are young. I only want them to resume work," she said. She had also blamed "outsiders", the CPI(M) and the BJP for the agitation.
On Friday, Banerjee, however, held a two-hour-long meeting with senior doctors, who were not part of the strike. Senior physician Sukumar Mukherjee, along with other senior doctors, who were not part of the agitation, met Banerjee on Friday. They held a two-hour-long meeting with the Chief Minister at the secretariat to find a solution to the ongoing problem.
The stir has found support from doctors across the country. Health services were hit across the country on Friday as doctors in different states expressed solidarity with doctors in West Bengal. Doctors in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Assam, Tripura, Goa and Chandigarh took out demonstrations.
In Delhi, resident doctors from 14 government hospitals will remain on strike Saturday, the Federation of Resident Doctors Association (FORDA INDIA) said.
Resident doctors of AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital, who boycotted work on Friday in protest against attacks on their colleagues in Kolkata, have now given a 48-hour ultimatum to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to meet the demands of the state's agitating doctors, failing which they said they would go on indefinite strike.
Members of the AIIMS Resident Doctors Association (RDA), who resumed work on Saturday, said that if the demands of the West Bengal doctors are not met within 48 hours, they would be forced to resort to an indefinite strike.
"We condemn the hostile and unapologetic attitude of the government of West Bengal. Our protest at AIIMS, New Delhi continues until justice is meted out," the AIIMS RDA said in a statement.
"According to the decision taken in a general body meeting held on June 14, RDA issues an ultimatum of 48 hours to the West Bengal government to meet the demands of the striking doctors there, failing which we would be forced to resort to an indefinite strike at AIIMS, New Delhi. We hope that our colleagues across the nation will join us in this hour of need," the statement said.
Indian Medical Association (IMA) has also launched a three-day nationwide protest from Friday and called for a strike on June 17, Monday, with the withdrawal of non-essential health services, including OPDs.
A delegation of the IMA met Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan today over the ongoing protests. The country's leading doctors' body launched a four-day nationwide protest on Friday and called a strike on Monday. Calling the attack on doctors "barbaric", the IMA said it will ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah to bring out a central law against such violence.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan on Friday blamed Ms Banerjee for failing to resolve the stalemate. "Instead of taking action against the attackers, she (Mamata Banerjee) gave the doctors an ultimatum, warned and threatened them because of which doctors of West Bengal and across the country are angry," he said, and requested the doctors to end their strike.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a public interest litigation or PIL over the safety and security of doctors in government hospitals across the country. Hearing a similar case, the Calcutta High Court asked the West Bengal government to end the impasse and respond to the petition in seven days.
West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi last night said he called up the chief minister to discuss the issue but there was "no response" from her. Earlier, a team of BJP leaders met the governor and demanded Banerjee's resignation.

THE OAK RIDGE BOYS INDUCTED INTO THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME

GARTH BROOKS, TRISHA YEARWOOD, KENNY ROGERS, DIERKS BENTLEY, VINCE GILL AMONG ALL-STAR CAST PAYING TRIBUTE TO INDUCTEES
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (October 26, 2015) – Groundbreaking vocal group, The Oak Ridge Boys, became one of the newest inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame during a star-studded emotional Medallion Ceremony on October 25, 2015. Considered country music's most prestigious event, the ceremony is the official induction of new Hall of Fame members.
The Oak Ridge Boys /
Alongside fellow 2015 Inductees Jim Ed Brown and The Browns, and studio session great Grady Martin, The Oak Ridge Boys were feted with heartfelt testimonials and memorable performances of songs they made famous. The artists paying tribute varied widely in ages, backgrounds, and styles, which underscored the eclectic nature and crossover appeal of the musical contributions of the artists being honored.
"These men and women distinguished themselves through virtuosity, harmony and heart," said Jody Williams, BMI executive and trustee on the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum's Board of Officers and Trustees. Williams filled in for the ceremony's usual host, museum CEO Kyle Young, whose mother died on October 13.
"They have made music that endures through decades," Williams continued. "Tonight, we honor them—respectfully, formally, and enthusiastically—as country music masters."
The inductions focus on paying tribute to the inductees, celebrating their stories with spoken and musical tributes and original videos that draw on photos, interviews and performances found in materials lovingly collected in the museum's Frist Library and Archive. The result conveys the special talents, personalities and unique stories of each new Hall of Fame member and underscores why each inductee deserves the prestigious honor.
For the musical portion of the tribute for The Oak Ridge Boys Jeff Hanna of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, an emergency replacement for Chris and Morgane Stapleton, whose travel plans were interrupted by flooding in Texas, performed "Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight." The Rodney Crowell song had been a #1 hit in 1980 for the Oak Ridge Boys.
Trisha Yearwood & Garth Brooks /
Next, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood performed a delicate, touching version of the love song "I'll Be True to You," The Oak Ridge Boys' first #1 hit, in 1978. With Brooks on acoustic guitar as the only musical accompaniment, Yearwood sang two verses, with her husband on harmony. Brooks took the last verse, and Yearwood joined in for the final chorus.
In a surprise to The Oak Ridge Boys, the Martin Family Circus bounded onstage. Featuring Duane Allen's daughter Jamie Allen on vocals with support from her husband, Paul Martin, and their four children, the group delighted Allen, his vocal partners and the rest of the audience with an animated version of "Elvira." The children—March, 17; Kell, 14; Texas, 10; and Tallant, 8—proved to be experienced stage performers as they drew out the celebratory, whimsical nature of the singalong hit.
Kenny Rogers, a 2013 Hall of Fame inductee, inducted the Oak Ridge Boys, saying, "There's nowhere I'd rather be than right here tonight." Rogers and the vocal group often toured together in the 1970s. Each member of the band spoke about what the induction meant to him.

The audience at the private celebration was packed with Hall of Fame members, who welcomed the new inductees into their exclusive club. Hall of Famers in attendance were Bobby Bare, Harold Bradley, Garth Brooks, Roy Clark, Ralph Emery, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Ray Walker of The Jordanaires, Brenda Lee, Charlie McCoy, Randy Owen of Alabama, Kenny Rogers, Connie Smith, and E.W. "Bud" Wendell.
The evening ended, as always, with a performance of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." Museum employee and ace guitarist Ben Hall, started the song off, performing an instrumental verse and chorus as the Hall of Fame members gathered at the front of the stage. The Oak Ridge Boys took turns singing the verses, with all the Hall of Famers present—and the theater audience—joining in on the choruses.

Q: what is "value" used in @Service annotation What is the diff between these
@Service(value="test1")

@Service("test1")

A: There's no difference, but if the annotation would take more than one parameter, and you wanted to use more than one parameter, you'd need to use the "value="-syntax. For the usage of the parameter, see the @Service-javadoc, or just take a look at the annotation class:
public @interface Service {

    /**
     * The value may indicate a suggestion for a logical component name,
     * to be turned into a Spring bean in case of an autodetected component.
     * @return the suggested component name, if any
     */
    String value() default "";

}

The reason why it's called "value" and why you can omit it can be found from Java annotations documentation:

It is permissible to omit the element
  name and equals sign (=) in a
  single-element annotation whose
  element name is value

Dutch pass two pro-Taiwan motions
SUPPORT: One motion called for changes to the cross-strait 'status quo' by China to be objected to, while the other said the EU should be pushed to support Lithuania
By Lin Chia-nan / Staff reporter
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday thanked the Dutch House of Representatives for passing motions in support of maintaining the "status quo" across the Taiwan Strait and closer Taiwan-Lithuania ties.
The Dutch house set a record when it overwhelmingly passed two motions friendly to Taiwan in one day, the ministry said in a news release.
The move again demonstrates the house's strong support for Taiwan, after it on Tuesday last week passed a motion backing Taiwan's bid to participate in the International Criminal Police Organization, it said.
The Dutch House of Representatives is pictured in The Hague, Netherlands, on April 24, 2012.
Of the two motions passed on Tuesday, one urged the Dutch government to object to any unilateral changes of the cross-strait "status quo" by China, it said.
It was initiated by Dutch lawmaker Raymond de Roon, chairman of the house's Committee on Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, and was passed by a vote of 120 to 30, the ministry said.
In the proposal, De Roon raised concerns about China's increasing military activities in the Taiwan Strait and urged other European countries to support Taiwan, the ministry said.
The other motion urged the Dutch government to push the EU to support Lithuania, which is facing retaliation from China over its decision to host the Taiwanese Representative Office in Vilnius and its plans to open a representative office in Taiwan, the ministry said.
The motion was proposed by Dutch lawmakers Ruben Brekelmans and Agnes Mulder, and passed by a vote of 117 to 33, it said.
According to the house's Web site, De Roon, Brekelmans and Mulder belong to the Party for Freedom, the People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, and the Christian Democratic Appeal party respectively.
Taiwan and the Netherlands are good partners that share the values of democracy, rule of law, freedom and human rights, the ministry said.
Bilateral relations have been close and friendly, and the two sides would continue to bolster cooperation in trade, environmental protection, disease prevention, technology, energy and innovation, among other areas, it added.
Taiwan and the Netherlands would also join efforts to tackle challenges posed by transnational crime, aviation safety and climate change, the ministry said, pledging to make more contributions to global peace, stability and prosperity.
Over the past few years, the Netherlands has become Taiwan's biggest source of foreign direct investment, as well as Taiwan's biggest investment destination and second-largest trading partner in Europe, the ministry said in a news release in July last year.
