Today saw the Marie Curie Ladies Driving Challenge experienced drivers were able to get to grips with an array of vehicles from HGVs to DMC's. All the ladies scores from all the challenges were added up and the lady with the highest score would be the winner. Unlike last years event the sun was out once again at Kirkistown. Details from the event including the total amount of money raised to follow.


These switches are a combination of a depletion type Field-Effect Transistor (FET) and a band-switching diode. The BF1118, BF1118R, BF1118W and BF1118WR are encapsulated in the SOT143B, SOT143R, SOT343N and SOT343R respectively. The low loss and high isolation capabilities of these devices provide excellent RF switching functions. The gate of the MOSFET can be isolated from ground with the diode, resulting in low losses. Integrated diodes between gate and source and between gate and drain protect against excessive input voltage surges.

Philip Roth: The Biography is a 2021 book by biographer Blake Bailey. It is the authorized biography of American novelist Philip Roth (1933–2018). It was first published on April 6, 2021, by W. W. Norton & Company. Norton, however, later cancelled publication of the book. Three weeks later, in May 2021, Skyhorse Publishing announced that it would release paperback, ebook, and audiobook versions of the biography.

Background
In 2004, American novelist Philip Roth enlisted Ross Miller, a professor at the University of Connecticut and nephew of playwright Arthur Miller, to write an authorized biography of Roth. In 2009, however, they mutually agreed to abandon their arrangement.
 Roth and Miller, who were close friends, had a falling out over the direction in which the project was going. Roth reportedly began interfering in Miller's process, including manipulating his interviews.

Blake Bailey, an American writer from Oklahoma, previously published biographies of novelists Richard Yates, John Cheever, and Charles Jackson. After completing his biography of Jackson, Bailey approached Philip Roth in the spring of 2012. In June 2012, Roth and Bailey signed a collaboration agreement. The agreement granted Bailey unrestricted and exclusive access to the author's complete archives, including his unpublished works and personal correspondence. Roth, who was 79 years old at the time, made himself available for extensive interviews conducted by Bailey. Roth also assisted in encouraging friends and family to cooperate in the process. The deal was first reported in The New York Times on September 5, 2012. On September 28, 2012, it was reported that W. W. Norton & Company acquired the rights to the book. At the time, Bailey estimated that the biography would take him eight to ten years to finish writing.

Bailey spent years researching and organizing content for the book, writing a 35-page outline and envisioning each paragraph before the writing process. He officially started writing the book in December 2017. He referenced from a plethora of Roth's papers and Roth's donated materials at the Library of Congress. He was also given a 300-page chronology written by Roth and a copy of Roth's unpublished book Notes for My Biographer. Bailey also inherited Ross Miller's taped interviews; however, Miller would not respond to Bailey's communications. Bailey also referenced from his own interviews which he conducted with 150 people, in addition to the numerous interviews with Roth. He also had a very brief communication with Claire Bloom. In his first interviews with Roth, Bailey expressed his desire to maintain a professional relationship to not repeat the "disturbing" relationship he had with Ross Miller. Bailey demanded freedom to quote from Roth's documents, and that Roth and his team were not to edit his manuscript for any purposes except for factual accuracy. Although Roth at times attempted to sway the narrative in his own direction, Bailey "quietly" went his own way.

Roth died of congestive heart failure on May 22, 2018, at the age of 85.

Publication
The book was published in the United States by W. W. Norton & Company on April 6, 2021, and in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on April 8, 2021. An audiobook, narrated George Guidall, was released the same day by Recorded Books. The book debuted at number fifteen on The New York Times nonfiction best-seller list for the week ending April 10, 2021.

Cancellation
In April 2021, Bailey was dropped by his agency, the Story Factory, following allegations of sexual misconduct made in the comments section of a literary blog; Bailey denies the allegations. In a statement to the Associated Press on April 21 by W. W. Norton & Company, the publisher announced that it decided to pause the shipping and promotion of Philip Roth: The Biography "pending any further information that may emerge." On April 28, W. W. Norton announced that it is taking the book out of print. The same day, Recorded Books announced that it would be withdrawing the audiobook edition from release.

On May 17, 2021, Skyhorse Publishing announced that it would release a paperback, ebook, and audiobook versions of the biography. The e-book edition was published on May 26, 2021. The paperback version was published on June 29, 2021.

Reception
Philip Roth: The Biography received favorable reviews, with a cumulative "Positive" rating at the review aggregator website Book Marks.

Alexander C. Kafka of The Washington Post praised the book for being "conversationally readable" despite its length, and wrote that "no one writing about Roth will be able to sidestep this foundational biography." In its starred review, Kirkus Reviews called it an "outstanding" biography, praising Bailey's "evenhanded" treatment of Roth's books and personal flaws. Publishers Weekly, in its starred review, praised Bailey's "consistently luminous, humorous prose" and called it "as dynamic and gripping as any of Roth's own fictions."

In a negative review, Parul Sehgal of The New York Times felt the author failed his subject and called the book a "narrow portrait of a wide life." Sehgal criticized Bailey's "sprawling" focus on Roth's personal life and his reticence on Roth's literary work and style: "Roth's own writing was full of provocations on the art of biography, full of masks and veils and alter egos, obsessed with plucking apart the idea of a self. Bailey avoids it all, offering readings of the most tepid kind, primarily noticing biographical correspondences, most of them familiar by now."

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.
During the summer of 2003, NASA launched twin robotic rovers named Spirit and Opportunity. The rovers were launched approximately 3 weeks apart, but they had the same destination. Spirit and Opportunity were headed to Mars. The rovers landed in January of 2004 on different parts of the planet. They were sent to Mars to look for evidence of water. Each rover carried scientific instruments to help scientists explore the planet from Earth. The Earth-bound scientists tell the rovers where to go and what to examine. As the rovers move across the surface, they examine soil and rocks. This information is sent back to Earth. The rovers were built to last approximately 90 days. Spirit went silent on March 22, 2010. Opportunity is still working as of November 1, 2015! And they have found lots of evidence that water was once all over the surface of Mars!
The Cassini probe to Saturn was launched on October 15, 1997. It is the biggest and most expensive probe to ever visit another planet. The Cassini spacecraft went into orbit around Saturn in July 2004. It has studied the planet, its ring system, and many of its moons for more than ten years!
The New Horizons spacecraft was launched in 2006, and flew past Pluto in the summer of 2015. It was the first spacecraft to visit that dwarf planet, and is now moving farther away from our Sun to explore more distant objects for the first time.
Most space probes safely return to Earth and are picked up in the Pacific Ocean.

Syrian refugees not always available for sponsorship, Canadians learn | CBC News Loaded
Syrian refugees not always available for sponsorship, Canadians learn
Canadians applying to sponsor refugees through a federal program that matches costs are finding that Syrian families can be hard to come by. But that isn't stopping people from opening their homes and wallets to those in need.
'Demand has outstripped supply,' says resettlement co-ordinator

When a group of churchgoers in Oakville, Ont., started the process of sponsoring a refugee family in Canada, they assumed they would be helping Syrians.
But when they were presented with a list of government-vetted families awaiting sponsorship through the Blended Visa Office-Referred (BVOR) program, they were surprised to find there wasn't a single Syrian on there.
"We thought, OK, well, why?" said Deborah Laforet, minister of St. Paul's United Church. "All these refugees being highlighted in the news and the need that's out there, why aren't they on this list?"
ANALYSIS | Syrian refugees: Are others left out of the generosity?
Refugee advocates warn against shift to private sponsorship
'Colossal effort' underway to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by year's end
CBC IN JORDAN | Syrian refugees have 3 days to pack for a new life in Canada
ANALYSIS | Why Canada's refugee plan falls well short of a real solution
The group, made up of members from St. Paul's and nearby Glen Abbey United Church, had a discussion about their priorities and decided to proceed with the sponsorship anyway.
"We need to realize — and maybe the rest of the community needs to realize — that there are refugees all over the world, that Syria's the one being highlighted right now, but people are in need in many different places," Laforet said.
'Demand has outstripped supply'
According to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), there are 59.5 million people worldwide who have been forcibly displaced from their homes by war, poverty or persecution. Of those, 19.5 million were officially registered as refugees in 2014, and one in four is Syrian.
The Canadian government has pledged to bring 25,000 Syrians to Canada through a combination of private and public sponsorship.
One way Canadians can sponsor families is through the BVOR program, which matches refugees identified for resettlement by UNHCR with private sponsors in Canada. The government pays roughly half the cost of supporting the refugees for one year.
Many sponsors who go through BVOR find themselves in the same situation as Laforet's group, said Brian Dyck, the national migration and resettlement co-ordinator with the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) of Canada, which helps sponsors navigate the system.
"That's happened a lot lately," Dyck said, adding that in some cases, "demand [for Syrian refugee has outstripped supply."
"It's not that there's not enough Syrian refugees," he said. "It's a matter of getting a good match and getting the cases that are in the system to us. There's been a huge challenge. There's been a frustration in the sponsorship community about, 'We want to get more Syrians and they're not there.'"
Complaints also surfaced in September about a dearth of Syrians on the BVOR list.
Dyck said the MCC has had meetings with the federal government about addressing the issue.
Fast-tracked
The reason sponsors are having a hard time finding Syrians through the BVOR program is because those families are being fast-tracked through the system, a spokeswoman from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada said.
Syrians on the BVOR list remain there for only a short time before they are moved into the government-assisted refugee program (GAR), Nancy Chan told CBC News.
"Sponsors have a limited opportunity to identify a case for sponsorship," Chan said. "For Syrian refugees, case information is available for 14 days. If no sponsor is identified, then processing resumes as a GAR, so that refugees are not waiting indefinitely for a sponsor."
Interest in Syrians 'extremely high'
The MCC is an official sponsorship agreement holder with the federal government. That means it has signed agreement with the government to support refugees when they settle in Canada, usually by helping smaller groups sponsor individuals or families.
A couple of years ago, the MCC worked with just a handful of sponsors, usually people looking to bring over members of their own families or ethnic communities, Dyck said.
Then, in September, the photo of Alan Kurdi, the drowned Syrian toddler found face down on a Turkish beach, surfaced online.

Should pictures of a drowned Syrian boy be shared on social media?
"Since September, there's been a lot of interest. People having no connections with a refugee in the world anywhere are wanting to help, and the interest in Syrians is extremely high," Dyck said.
Despite the hurdles, Dyck said many Canadians move forward with their sponsorships even when they don't get matched with the Syrians they expected.
"It is broadening people's understanding of displacement," Dyck said.
Non-Syrians 'overlooked'
Some are choosing to sponsor non-Syrians from the get-go.
"Many of the refugees from other countries who had been in the queue for a long time were being overlooked. There is no media attention to the fact we have had a refugee crisis of more than 30 years in a good part of Africa," John Neufeld, pastor at The Meeting Place church in Winnipeg, told CBC Manitoba.
Pastor John Neufeld of The Meeting Place in Winnipeg says his congregation is excited to be sponsoring a family of Congolese refugees.
With the help of the MCC, The Meeting Place is sponsoring a Congolese family with five children who were all born in a refugee camp in Tanzania.
A group in Kings County, N.S., chose to sponsor a Somali Bantu couple with six children who have spent the last 15 years in a Kenyan camp. Their oldest child is 13.
"They've raised all six kids in a refugee camp," Anne van Arragon Hutten, fundraiser for the Centreville and Aldershot Refugee Sponsorship group, told CBC News. "We need to get these people out."
While they originally envisioned sponsoring a Syrian family, Laforet's group in Oakville decided to sponsor a family of three from Burma (also known as Myanmar). The mom, dad and two-year-old girl arrived in Oakville last week from a Malaysian camp.
"We just came to the realization that it's not just Syrians that are in need," Laforet said.

It is the 'Cream' of the Olive Oil Harvest. As the name indicates it is a favorite with the farmers and producers. Processing within 12 hours of harvest it retains its rich color and mellow yet bold flavor with a little bitter and lingering spicy after taste. It has a heaver density than other oils with an intense green color. The fruity aroma has hints of green tomatoes and almond.

Listing all monotone increasing binary digits
For $n=5$, I have $32$ binary digits and for this there are $2^{32}$ combinations. Out of this many, the interesting ones (i.e., the ones that have monotone increasing binary digits) are only about "$2111$". I know how these can be found very easily but I am missing Mathematica knowledge. Therefore I cannot complete my program.
First I need to seperate these $32$ bits according to Pascals triangle numbers. Since $n=5$, these numbers are $1,5,10,10,5,1$. Their sum is $32$ and I separate the digits accordingly. My list is as follows:
List={
{0|00000|0000000000|0000000000|00000|0}
... those who satisfy the rule below
{1|11111|1111111111|1111111111|11111|1}}
From right to the left I start with the 5 bits and take all possible combinations:
|00000|--> 00001,00010,00011...11111
This says I have the following ones in the list
{0|00000|0000000000|0000000000|00001|1,
0|00000|0000000000|0000000000|00010|1,
0|00000|0000000000|0000000000|00011|1,...,
0|00000|0000000000|0000000000|11111|1}
Then I go left via keeping |11111|1 as fixed. Now I have $10$ digits and the following are the elements of the list
Then, I do the same thing again but fixing |1111111111|11111|1. Then the followings are the elements of the set:
Again the same thing and we are done:
So in total there are $2^5$ numbers from the first stage, From the other two stages we have $2^{10}-1$ for each and for the last stage $2^5-1$ numbers. We also have all zeros and all ones and if I calculated correctly there are $2111$ of them. I used the character "|" for separation. The final list should look like
List={{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},....,{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1}}
I only have the following code part:
IntegerDigits[2, 2, 5]
{0, 0, 0, 1, 0}
IntegerDigits[2, 2, 10]
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}
Using this code in a 'for loop' I can obtain such combinations but I must concatenate these to the previous bits which are all zeros and all subsequent bits which are all 1s. This is what I don't know how to do.

One idea is to make use of Tuples:
monotoneTuples[b_, m_, e_] := Rest @ Tuples@Join[
ConstantArray[{0}, b],
ConstantArray[{0,1}, m],
ConstantArray[{1}, e]
monotoneTuples will create your partitioned set. For example:
Column @ monotoneTuples[5, 3, 1] //TeXForm
$\begin{array}{l} \{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,1\} \\ \{0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1\} \\ \end{array}$
Then, you can join each of these sets:
res = Join[
monotoneTuples[31,1,0],
monotoneTuples[16,10,6],
monotoneTuples[6,10,16],
monotoneTuples[1,5,26],
monotoneTuples[0,1,31]
res //Length
For memory reasons, it makes sense to create a list of integers instead of a list of bit vectors, especially if you will be creating a lot of them. So, an alternative is:
monotoneIntegers[list_] := With[{a = Accumulate[Prepend[0] @ Most @ Reverse @ list]},
Prepend[0][Join @@ (Range[2, 2^Reverse@list] 2^a - 1)]
For example, compare:
integers = monotoneIntegers[{1,3,2}]
bitvectors = IntegerDigits[%, 2, 6]
{0, 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 63}
{{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1}, {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}, {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1}}
The memory usage of the integers is much less:
ByteCount @ integers
ByteCount @ bitvectors
and the disparity increases with more bits.

ITER Remote Handling experts discuss mix of technologies to cope with radiation
Members of F4E's Remote Handling team attending the workshop on radiation tolerant technologies
The engineers involved in ITER's Remote Handling system face several challenges: first, they have to develop some of the most futuristic pieces of equipment that will operate using virtual reality and man-in-the-loop robotics; second, although ITER is by far the biggest fusion device, space is an issue because there is a lot of tooling which needs to be neatly installed; third, due to the levels of radiation in the machine, all maintenance needs to be carried out remotely and the equipment needs to fit for this environment; and last but not least, this is a community of experts entering unchartered territory. Nothing like this has been tried before.
Once a year all experts from the ITER Domestic Agencies involved in Remote Handling systems, together with the companies and laboratories manufacturing the equipment, meet to discuss the overall progress and exchange information. The first of these workshops was organised by F4E, the second by ITER Organization. In November 2018, Europe took the initiative to plan the third workshop during which close to 60 participants met virtually to discuss the latest progress in radiation tolerant technologies.
Laura Mont Casellas, working as Technical Officer in F4E's Remote Handling systems, was responsible for the workshop. "We thought of presenting the progress we have made so far in the field of rad-hard CMOS cameras which are suitable for the ITER environment and will allow us to see inside the machine. Due to the space limitation we face, miniature cameras are being developed which will be installed on inspection tooling," she says. The progress results from years of intense collaboration between F4E and various companies, universities and laboratories. Magics, an SME specialised in rad-hard technologies, has designed the electronics integrated circuit chip prototype. Oxford Technologies, part of Veolia, has developed different sub-system mock-ups by bringing onboard the expertise of ISAE, Toulouse, for the image sensors. CEA-DAM has been involved in the illumination system, and the Jean Monnet University Saint Etienne for the optical system. The demonstration cameras have been successfully tested in Belgium's SCK-CEN at different levels of radiation. Next, Oxford Technologies and ISEA will develop an image sensor prototype to be integrated into future industrial nuclear cameras.
Prototype of an electronics integrated circuit chip designed by Magics, contributing to the body of work financed by F4E in the field of rad-hard multiplexers in ITER Remote Handling systems.
The electronics required in Remote Handling was the other subject addressed. F4E has been pushing for a smart solution given the fact that cabling must be kept to a minimum. How can the "brain" of movers and its circuit be neatly installed? Magics and Oxford Technologies, part of Veolia, have been collaborating to develop a multiplexer –in simple words a compact box of electronics — which is able to reduce the number of cables needed for the movers to carry out maintenance works in the machine. Carlo Damiani, heading F4E's Remote Handling systems, explains that "Europe presented the progress of the R&D financed by F4E because we plan using it in the components we have to deliver. On top of that, it could be of interest to them other ITER Parties and their suppliers. For instance, companies are eager to learn more about the progress of the work in case it finds its way to future applications they are designing."
Last but not least, the workshop offered the possibility to Europe and Japan to inform participants on the radiation test results on commercial off-the-shelf components for the ITER In-Vessel Viewing system and the ITER Blanket Remote Handling system respectively.

Sweeney Todd is a character who first appeared as one of the protagonists of a penny dreadful serial entitled The String of Pearls (1846-1847). It's claimed that Sweeney Todd was a real person.
Sweeney Todd is a barber who murders wealthy customers by pulling a lever while they are in his barber chair which, unknown to them, is fixed to a revolving trap-door, making them fall backward into the basement, generally causing them to break their necks or skulls as they hit the ground.
Just in case they are alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off." After Todd has robbed his dead victims of their goods, Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime (in some later versions, his friend who wants to become his lover), assists him in disposing of the bodies by having their flesh baked into meat pies, and selling them to the unsuspecting customers of her pie shop.
The tale surrounding the character became a staple of Victorian melodrama, and later a Tony award-winning Broadway musical in 1979.
Sweeney Todd has also been featured in several films, the most recent being based on the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007), directed by Tim Burton, with Johnny Depp in the title role.
Full of intrigue and adventure, this classic is a must for adventure-pulp literature fans!

United States v. Maldonado-Burgos
United States Court of Appeals, First Circuit
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Appellant,
EDWIN MALDONADO-BURGOS, Defendant, Appellee.
Howard, Chief Judge, Torruella, Lynch, Dyk, Thompson, Kayatta, and Barron, Circuit Judges.
ORDER OF COURT
Appellant United States of America filed a petition for rehearing en banc, and, pursuant to First Circuit Internal Operating Procedure X(C), the appellant's petition for rehearing en banc has also been treated as a petition for rehearing before the original panel. The petition for rehearing has been denied by the panel of judges who decided the case, and the petition for rehearing en banc having been submitted to the active judges of this court and a majority of the judges not having voted that the case be heard en banc, it is ordered that the petitions for rehearing and rehearing en banc be denied.
HOWARD, Chief Judge, and LYNCH, Circuit Judge, dissenting from the denial of rehearing en banc.
A panel of this court has held that the Mann Act's federal protections against sex trafficking of adults, see 18 U.S.C. § 2421(a), do not apply to conduct occurring solely within Puerto Rico. United States v. Maldonado-Burgos, 844 F.3d 339, 340 (1st Cir. 2016). In doing so, the panel has overruled our longstanding precedent in Crespo v. United States, 151 F.2d 44 (1st Cir. 1945), which squarely held that this provision of the Mann Act does apply to activity occurring solely within Puerto Rico. The United States rightly petitions for en banc review on the basis that the panel erroneously resolved a question of exceptional importance. The petition of the United States fails. In our view, the Supreme Court may wish to grant review of this decision, given its significance for the issues here, as well as for those beyond the particular question presented here, including for federal criminal law enforcement in Puerto Rico, for the use of proper rules of statutory construction, and for adherence to Supreme Court precedent.
We respectfully dissent from the denial of the petition for rehearing en banc. This question is about how courts determine Congress' intent as to the applicability of federal criminal statutes to Puerto Rico. The panel's decision here, in our view, both departs from binding Supreme Court precedent and abandons this court's settled method for addressing the application of federal statutes to Puerto Rico. The panel's decision is exceptionally important: it will not only eviscerate the protection of adult sex-trafficking victims whom the Mann Act expressly aims to protect but also adversely affect the federal government's ability to enforce other federal criminal statutes in Puerto Rico. It also results in the unlikely conclusion that Congress intended for the Mann Act to apply to child victims of intra-Puerto Rico sex trafficking, but not to victims of intra-Puerto Rico sex trafficking over 18 years of age.
Respectfully, in our view, the panel's decision gets congressional intent exactly backwards, and that has harmful consequences for the law and in practice. The decision's inconsistency with congressional intent is evident when we look at the Supreme Court's decision in Puerto Rico v. Sánchez Valle, 136 S.Ct. 1863 (2016). The result is also inconsistent with recent congressional legislation using the term "territory" to include Puerto Rico. See Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act ("PROMESA"), Pub. L. No. 114-187, § 5(20), 130 Stat. 549, 552 (2016) (defining "territory" as including Puerto Rico). The panel's opinion also conflicts with even more longstanding precedent from the Supreme Court, see Examining Bd. of Eng'rs, Architects & Surveyors v. Flores de Otero, 426 U.S. 572 (1976), and from the First Circuit, see, e.g., Moreno Rios v. United States, 256 F.2d 68 (1st Cir. 1958), as to the application of federal statutory law to Puerto Rico. In the process, the panel has created a presumption, purportedly based on Cordova & Simonpietri Insurance Agency Inc. v. Chase Manhattan Bank N.A., 649 F.2d 36 (1st Cir. 1981), that Cordova itself never meant to create, and has used it to reach a conclusion Cordova does not sanction.
A. The Panel's Decision Ignores Recent Supreme Court Law and Congressional Legislation on Puerto Rico
The panel analyzes § 2421(a)[1] of the Mann Act by adopting a strong presumption that Congress would not want to treat Puerto Rico as a "Territory" for purposes of the Mann Act. Maldonado-Burgos, 844 F.3d at 347. But both Supreme Court and statutory law make it entirely reasonable to believe that Congress intends the opposite presumption. The Supreme Court has decided, in a criminal case, that Puerto Rico's adoption of a constitution in 1952 and its transition to commonwealth status did not transform Puerto Rico into a state for the purposes of the Double Jeopardy Clause's dual-sovereignty doctrine. Sánchez Valle, 136 S.Ct. at 1875-76. This is because Puerto Rico's sovereignty still derives ultimately from Congress. Id. For the purposes of this constitutional analysis, the Court rejected the same arguments that informed the majority decision in Cordova. Compare id. at 1870 & n.2 (majority opinion), and id. at 1877-85 (Breyer, J., dissenting), with Cordova, 649 F.2d at 39-41.[2] Congress, we must assume, is well aware of Sánchez Valle. Sánchez Valle shows that it is entirely reasonable to believe that Congress would operate with the presumption that § 2421(a) would apply to Puerto Rico when it uses the term "Territory, " unless it explicitly says to the contrary.
Indeed, in recent legislation, Congress has explicitly designated Puerto Rico as a "Territory." See PROMESA, § 5(20), 130 Stat. at 552 (defining "territory" to mean "Puerto Rico, "
"Guam, " "American Samoa, " "the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, " or "the United States Virgin Islands"). In light of the contrary result reached by the panel here, the question of Congress' intent with respect to the application of the Mann Act and other federal criminal statutes to Puerto Rico, is a question worthy of Supreme Court review.
B. The Panel's Decision Conflicts with Longstanding Supreme Court and First Circuit Precedent on the Application of Federal Statutory Law to Puerto Rico
The panel's decision further conflicts with Supreme Court precedent, namely the Court's Examining Board decision on the application of federal statutes to Puerto Rico after it achieved Commonwealth status. In Examining Board, the Supreme Court addressed the question of whether Puerto Rico's change of status to a Commonwealth in 1952 stripped the United States District Court in Puerto Rico of jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1343. See 426 U.S. at 594. Looking to language, context, and purpose, id. at 580, the Court asked "whether Congress, by entering into the compact [with Puerto Rico], intended to repeal by implication the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court of Puerto Rico to enforce 42 U.S.C. § 1983, " id. at 594. The Court found no reason "to attribute to Congress an inclination to leave the protection of federal rights exclusively to the local Puerto Rico courts." Id. at 595. The question here should be similarly framed: Does anything about the change in Puerto Rico's political status in 1952 show that Congress intended to deprive Puerto Rico of the full extent of the federal protections against sex trafficking provided in § 2421(a)?
Cordova, by contrast to the panel decision in Maldonado-Burgos, in no way purported to depart from Examining Board. Indeed, the Cordova decision took pains to emphasize that the analysis it undertook should be conducted statute-by-statute, see 649 F.2d at 38, and that its conclusion that section 3 of the Sherman Act no longer applied to Puerto Rico did not conflict with decisions holding that the application of other statutory provisions, such as 12 U.S.C. § 632, was not affected by the change in Puerto Rico's political status, see id. at 42 n.32 (finding no conflict with First Federal Sav. & Loan Ass'n of P.R. v. Ruiz de Jesus, 644 F.2d 910 (1st Cir. 1981), and noting that "[p]ost-Commonwealth Banking Act amendments did not reflect any congressional intent to narrow th[e] grant of jurisdiction [in 12 U.S.C. § 632]"). Yet the panel here used a contrary standard and reached an erroneous conclusion.
The Cordova panel was concerned with enforcement of antitrust laws and apparently concerned with possible preemption of local Puerto Rican antitrust statutes if the Sherman Act applied. See id. at 41-42. No such problem of possible conflict between Puerto Rican anti-sex trafficking laws and enforcement of the Mann Act exists here.
This court's precedents, which the panel held inapposite, have used an analysis following that used in Examining Board. See United States v. Villarin Gerena, 553 F.2d 723 (1st Cir. 1977); Moreno Rios, 256 F.2d 68. Those cases stand for three relevant principles. First, if a federal statute applied in full to Puerto Rico before Puerto Rico's shift to commonwealth status, the statute also applies in full after the shift, and Congress does not need to rewrite it. See Villarin Gerena, 553 F.2d at 724-26; Moreno Rios, 256 F.2d at 71-72. Second, it is unlikely that the change in Puerto Rico's political status meant that Congress wanted to deprive Puerto Rico of the full protections of any given federal statute. See Villarin Gerena, 553 F.2d at 725-26. Third, post-commonwealth amendments to a given statute that fail to address Puerto Rico's shift to commonwealth status do not show that Congress intended to change the statute's previous application to Puerto Rico. See id. at 726; Moreno Rios, 256 F.2d at 71-72. All three principles strongly argue for the full application of § 2421(a) of the Mann Act to Puerto Rico as a "Territory."[3]See United States v. Acosta-Martinez, 252 F.3d 13, 17-20 (1st Cir. 2001) (employing a similar inquiry and holding that the Federal Death Penalty Act applies to Puerto Rico). Cordova did not overrule the model of analysis used in those decisions.
C. The Panel's Decision Misapplies Cordova and Misreads Congressional Intent
While the larger question is which model of analysis to use for application of federal criminal statutes to Puerto Rico, even the Cordova framework itself does not dictate the outcome that the panel reached here, that is, forbidding federal prosecutors from enforcing § 2421(a) against sex traffickers of adults who operate wholly within Puerto Rico. Even applying Cordova, it is not "fair to assume that the framers of the [Mann] Act, had they been aware [that Puerto Rico achieved Commonwealth status], would have intended" for § 2421(a) to not apply to Puerto Rico as a territory. 649 F.2d at 42. No one has argued to this court that Puerto Rico does not want the benefit of the full federal prosecutorial resources afforded by § 2421(a).
         The panel adopts a presumption that, for statutory interpretation purposes, Puerto Rico must be said to be a state and not a territory unless there exists "specific evidence or clear policy reasons" evidencing an intent to treat Puerto Rico as a territory. Maldonado-Burgos, 844 F.3d at 342 (quoting Cordova, 649 F.2d at 42). But Cordova did not mention our earlier default rule, nor did Cordova purport to overrule it. Rather, Cordova addressed a question about the Sherman Act while making the point that the question of congressional intent must be resolved statute-by-statute and doing so for distinctly different policy reasons. See 649 F.2d at 38. By contrast, both ...

Phil Hibberd, a committee member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health's Railway Group and Engagement Manager at the Rail Safety and Standards Board, explores how safety is managed…
'Freight operators are competing to provide a seven-day accessible freight network, and striving towards the achievement of 24-hour operation, against a backdrop of network capability constraints. All of this has implications for risk, a risk tackled by the National Freight Safety Group.'
This recognition of rail freight and its risks was included in the Annual Health and Safety Report 2018-19, produced by the Rail Safety and Standards Board. So, what do the figures show us? In 2018-19, there was one fatality to a member of the public involving a freight train. Forty-two per cent of all 'potentially higher risk train accidents' involved freight trains, most low-speed derailments. There has been a decline in the number of freight trains passing signals at danger. Most freight train derailments are not RIDDOR-reportable and occur in yards, depots and sidings.
National Freight Safety Group
How is safety managed? Many within the rail industry people believe the National Freight Safety Group (NFSG) was established before any other cross-industry freight group. However, this is incorrect, as the rail freight sector is sufficiently compact and, following privatisation, the Professional Heads of Operations from each of the freight companies continued to engage and share best practice through the Rail Freight Operators Group (RFOG). And that's probably down to them all having once worked together under the banner of British Rail.
RFOG was properly established around 2006, when the operators identified the need to formalise their regular 'catch-ups'. Following the serious near miss at Carstairs in December 2009, where a freight train travelling south on the West Coast Main Line in freezing temperatures and snowy conditions, passed two red signals in succession. RAIB's report into the incident identified that poor train braking performance, caused by the freezing conditions, impacted on the braking equipment (in fact the train's disc brakes were effectively aquaplaning on the wheels).
Shortly after, in January 2010, in similarly freezing temperatures and snowy conditions, the front portion of a freight train travelling from Inverness towards Perth on the Highland Main Line came off at Carrbridge station. The derailed portion of the train came to rest on an embankment, close to some houses. The driver and technician on board suffered minor injuries. Damage was caused to private property, to the derailed train and the rail infrastructure. RAIB's investigation identified a combination of factors that led to the derailment. These included:
• snow and ice ingress reducing the effectiveness of the train's brakes
• the way the driver of the train applied the rules for operating trains in snowy conditions on steep climbing gradients
• the train ploughing into and/or disturbing lying snow during the journey from Inverness to Carrbridge
• the presence of deep lying snow close to the line.
It was these incidents which led to RFOG developing and implementing its first freight approved code of practice (ACOP) to address the risks associated with operating freight trains during severe winter working. The collaboration with RFOG members was noted by industry leaders. Other industry groups were also undertaking similar work, the Infrastructure Safety Leadership Group (ISLG) being one of those.
As a result, heads of safety started to engage and share best practice. A great of example of this collaboration was demonstrated at Network Rail's Westwood site when all freight operators made the collaborative decision that, in order to reduce and mitigate the risk of collisions within engineering worksites and possessions, they should amend their own supplementary operating instructions to mandate maximum speeds of 5mph in a worksite and 15mph in the possessions. This led to Network Rail making some significant adjustments in its planning processes. This freight safety mitigation, introduced during 2016, has seen that no further collisions have occurred.
At this point, the RSSB Board commissioned a project to review and improve arrangements for industry cooperation under the Modernisation of Safety Cooperation (MOSC) project. The purpose was to modernise the industry approach to safety cooperation with the objective of making it 'fit for purpose' to meet the current and future needs of all industry stakeholders. The MOSC framework gave the rail industry the ability to demonstrate collaborative working, which supported its duty to cooperate under ROGS Regulation 22. The rationalisation of the plethora of meetings at the time, allowed for a more structured approached to be taken in managing cross-industry risk, through the creation of System Safety Risk Group (SSRG) and its expert subordinate groups, providing 'line of sight' from national to local level.
Soon after, the Head of Safety of the then EWS Railways (now DB Cargo UK) got together with the Chair of ISLG to discuss how the freight sector could establish a new group, focusing not only on rail operations, but also more generic health and safety matters. A working group was formed by all the freight operating companies and with the support of the RSSB, the National Freight Safety Group (NFSG) was formed.
The NFSG was established as a national level operator group, to enable the FOCs to identify and implement arrangements to address their 'duties of cooperation' across both the mainline and non-mainline rail networks and use this as a framework to reduce operational risk in the freight sector. The Chair of NFSG reports into the SSRG to provide and maintain an interface and to ensure that the contribution of freight operating risk towards overall system safety is being suitably addressed.
In line with the industry strategy, Leading Health and Safety on Britain's Railways, the NFSG developed an 'Integrated Plan for Freight Safety' with the involvement of all its members, and assisted by RSSB, to:
• identify and maintain a 'common to all' top ten risk profile associated with freight operations and their interfaces with infrastructure managers and other transport operators
• develop suitable practical risk control measures to address identified risks in a consistent way, leading to continuous improvement of safety performance and management arrangements
• develop a suite of performance indicators to allow continued measurement of positive/adverse trends in safety performance
• develop a precursor indicator model specific to freight operations
• establish arrangements for learning from operational events across the UK, European and worldwide rail industries.
The original 'Integrated Plan for Freight Safety' was published in 2016 and had 16 key actions for the group to focus on, however it didn't take long for the group to realise that whilst trying to collaborate and work on 16 projects, they also had to provide support and guidance to their businesses. As a result, a number of projects started to slip. A major challenge came from a lack of visibility, understanding and support from senior leaders within the FOCs, as there was no clear governance structure to the RDG Freight Board, with each MD/CEO having their own views of what health and safety excellence looked like. They didn't always align.
A change at the board
In 2017, the decision was reached to review the integrated plan and reduce the number of projects to a more realistic level. At the same time, the RSSB Board appointed Geoff Spencer as its Non-Executive Director for Freight and Dougie Hill of Direct Rail Services was appointed the new Chair of the NFSG. These two gentlemen demonstrated a real energy, enthusiasm and belief that the NFSG can truly deliver a safer better railway and the freight journey began.
Within a matter of months, the NFSG had established a Steering Group, chaired by Geoff, who created a clear governance link to the RDG Freight Board. The MDs and CEOs were at last collectively discussing the challenges around freight safety, allowing a charter to be established and signed by all board members.
The objective of the charter was to demonstrate their joint commitment to improving health and safety in line with the national strategy, whilst agreeing not to use safety as a 'bargaining chip' when tendering for business, all agreed that best practice must be shared and that only with a true collaborative approach can the industry drive continuous improvement in health and safety. Adopting such an approach is aimed at promoting the movement of freight from road to rail with a firm basis in safety, performance and sustainability.
Version two the current 'Integrated Plan for Freight Safety' now focuses on five key areas of risk:
• freight derailments
• road risk
• site security
• common safe systems of work.
Each risk project has an appointed Sponsor and Project Manager and a standardised framework of reporting has been developed with the support of Network Rail's Operations and Safety Manager for Freight and National Passenger Operators, Pete Williams, another driving force at the NFSG.
With a new governance structure in place RFOG has now become a 'doing' group for the NFSG and recent work has seen the publication of 'Bulk Loading ACOP' created with the support of the construction industry. Work is now underway to reintroduce Working Manual For Rail Staff (old Green Pages) to bring Loading Standards consistency into the sector and under the banner of NFSG.
A clear collaboration framework has been established which can be seen in the diagram below. This interface established risk groups facilitated by the RSSB, with sub-working groups of the NFSG. This framework and commitment of all involved has seen a significant step change in the pace at which the NFSG now works.
The future of rail freight safety continues to be monitored by the NFSG in a mature and collaborative manner with a willingness from all freight operators to share best practice and learning from operational experience, however continuous improvement identifies the need for greater speed in delivery and greater capacity if we are to truly fulfil our potential.

A Star Sign Out of Whack
August 1, 2013 August 1, 2014 by Brennan
Just a few short weeks ago, Third Eye Blind released their long-awaited fourth full-length album, Ursa Major. I was hoping to avoid reviewing this album until sometime around December or January, when I'll be posting my Top 10 Albums of 2009 article, but it seems that my hand has been forced. Frankly, I highly doubt that Ursa Major will make that list and being an absolutely die-hard Third Eye Blind fan for well over a decade now – as those of you who know me can well attest – I couldn't leave the album unaddressed entirely. (Did I mention that it's terrifying to realize that I've been a fan of anything for over a decade now? Well, it is.)
Something ought to be mentioned from the get-go: I love Third Eye Blind. Note the italics. I'm speaking, of course, of their self-titled debut album (1997), and while I generally love the work of the band as a whole, it is that album (and the demonstrably huge impact it made on my life) that keeps bringing me back to Stephan Jenkins and the work of 3EB. I have a lot of personal attachment to what Third Eye Blind has done and I'm well aware that this clouds my judgment considerably; as such, I'll do my best to keep things objective, but I think that you, my reader, deserve a warning: This might get a little messy (and likely quite a bit convoluted), but try to bear with me and I'll try to keep it all together.
First, a little history (or at least my take on a little history). During the spring of 1997, Third Eye Blind stormed the airwaves (and our brainwaves) with the searingly catchy "doo-doo-doo" chorus of their first single "Semi-Charmed Life". Between the cavity-inducing sugar-drenched chorus, frontman Stephan Jenkins' faux-British accent, a novelty psuedo-rap verse, and some deceptively dark subject matter, it was hard not to get the song stuck in your head (over and over and over again). Additional singles like "Jumper", "How's It Going To Be", and "Graduate" reinforced the notion that Third Eye Blind was a pop-hook generating machine. That all of those songs have dark undertones and veins of radio unfriendly minor-chord progressions was generally overlooked. (It is only fair to note that lots of pop bands release albums that are lined with hit singles but filled with darker, more exploratory tracks – it's simply the nature of the beast that those songs don't make it to the radio.) As it is, every track on Third Eye Blind is catchy and poppy in its own way, but it was those darker tracks (at least for me) that masterfully combined hook-driven pop sensibilities with a certain edginess to create aural gold. As such, tracks like "Burning Man", "Narcolepsy", and "Thanks A Lot" are more important to the album than any of the singles, not to mention the otherworldly pairing of "Motorcycle Drive By" and "God of Wine", two tracks with which I am so enamored that I won't even begin to discuss them lest we all drown in my gushing praise. In fact, though it was – by far – their greatest commercial achievement, I would suggest that "Semi-Charmed Life" is the weakest song on that self-titled release (a statement that is only further proof that this album is incredible).
By the time Third Eye Blind's second album, Blue, rolled around in late 1999, their singles were weaker ("Never Let You Go" was the biggest single on the record and probably their worst song to that point) and what were once dark nuances were now full-fledged melancholy anthems (the unedited "Slow Motion", for example, has become a cult favorite). In some cases ("Anything", "Wounded", "Slow Motion", "Farther", "Darwin") this effect worked wonderfully. In others it was less effective ("An Ode to Maybe", "The Red Summer Sun") but still enjoyable. Overall, I count the album as a success. It's very difficult to follow up an album like Third Eye Blind which was well-received both critically and commercially – especially given the turmoil within the band that eventually led to the departure of guitarist and co-songwriter Kevin Cadogan – and, though the band had faded from the national-radio spotlight a great deal, I think they did well with Blue on both fronts (though I am admittedly more concerned with artistic success than commercial success).
Four long years passed before Third Eye Blind was heard from again. Out of the Vein was released in 2003 without much fanfare. Unlike previous offerings from the band, wherein tracks were clearly single-material or not, the songs on Out of the Vein blurred the line between commercial and avant-garde (obviously, I'm using the term very loosely and relatively here) to the point that no song was a clear cut single. Due to some combination of this lack of super-pop power and the long wait since Blue, Out of the Vein met with very little radio play. Personally, I found the album to be excellent. While it did not have the peaks of Blue, it was more consistent ("Self-Righteous" notwithstanding) and seemed to show real maturation from a band which was now fully mixing the elements of their style throughout all of their tracks. Somewhat unexpectedly and despite some seriously negative reviews for Out of the Vein (something I didn't know about until recently as – believe it or not – I didn't have the internet back in 2003), Third Eye Blind was in the process of building an indomitable fan base (by means of extensive touring and word-of-mouth promotion) which would continue to grow and grow until, finally, the release of their fourth effort, Ursa Major, in 2009.
So here we are, caught up to the present day. "The time of Ursa Major", as the band has stated it. So what does all that history and all that background mean for the here and now? In a word: disappointment. Ursa Major was delayed repeatedly and even had a few false release dates, the delays generally being chalked up to Stephen Jenkins' writer's block, more specifically: the inability to write satisfactory lyrics and melodies. Over the last few years, I was among those trumpeting the need for the as-yet-untitled album's release, claiming that – no matter how little confidence Jenkins had at the moment – surely anything Third Eye Blind put out would be catchy as hell and, while Third Eye Blind has never had consistently great lyrics, there are always moments of brilliance scattered throughout their songs, so surely this effort would be no different. Regrettably, I was wrong. I can't help but feel like the constant pressure to "release the damn thing already" finally caught up with Jenkins and Co. and that maybe they were pressured into releasing something that they knew all along just wasn't ready. But here we are with a finished product, and, whether or not it was ready or even whether or not Third Eye Blind is happy with it, it's all we've got. Unfortunately, it's abundantly clear why Jenkins was struggling to be satisfied with these songs.
Before I nitpick Ursa Major's flaws, I want to point out that there are some quality moments on this album; Third Eye Blind hasn't completely imploded, they just seem to be very misguided at the moment.
The high point of the album is certainly "Sharp Knife", a track that hits in all of the right places and – like most of the best moments of Ursa Major – seems like it could have fit in on Blue. Powerful and driving, the song is solid throughout with an excellent pre-chorus/chorus combination that will have you dying to sing along in your car. And while the opening few lines (specifically: "Time tick tick ticks after me, my MP3 is out of juice") are a little awkward and bumbling, this is more than made up for when Jenkins delivers one of his finest lines in years prior to the first verse: "And all that we call chaos, I will say is by design". Tracks like "Sharp Knife" are the reason that I love Third Eye Blind and I have to say that I was disheartened to find that its sound is so unique on the album, yet it is not the only quality song on Ursa Major.
It is worth noting that I have a preference for albums with great songs at their conclusion, so perhaps there is hope for Ursa Major in the long run as one of its strongest tracks is the penultimate number, "Monotov's Private Opera." Softer than most of their work (though not quite as soft as the B-side "My Time In Exile"), this track is a calming walk that seems the perfect soundtrack for a slow-moving, early-evening, late-November trip to the coffee house (specific, I know). The hook of the chorus ("it's you and only you and no one else") is matched in catchiness by the walking melody of the verse and, in an album rife with bad lyrics, this song stands out as being one of the lyrically strongest. (Though is should be noted that – as Jenkins was quick to point out – the "Monotov" of the title is actually an accidental misspelling of "Mamontov"; it seems fitting that, on this album, even the strongest tracks have failings.)
If "Sharp Knife" and "Monotov's Private Opera" are the top tier of what Ursa Major has to offer, then the next level can be found to have quite a few more songs but quite a bit less quality. The top track in this group is probably "Dao of St. Paul" which also seems like it could have fit in on Blue quite well (especially the guitar solo); it has some passion and – thankfully – solid melodies throughout, and isn't even diminished by using a very cliched "nah-nah-nah-nah" for a stretch. "Bonfire" is an above-average song but is hampered by being somewhat forgettable (even though the chorus is solid, it lacks a killer hook) and by having the unfortunate "my duct-tape vest is a party best, it's really all I own" lyric (I mean, bad lyrics get written – but how the hell did that line survive the editing process?). Meanwhile, "Why Can't You Be?" and "One In Ten" slow things down and are decent enough tracks, but each has their own problems. A live version of "Why Can't You Be?" was on the Red Star EP (more on that later) and, as much as I hate myself for saying it, was better than the album track as it had a lot more character; plus there's the fact that the term "blowjob" is actually sung within the song – really, that's just unacceptable from a lyrical standpoint (and possibly every other standpoint as well). Alternatively, "One In Ten" has an excellent hook during the title line, but the verses are sloppy and the lyrics are sub-par (plus, Weezer pretty much owns the market for the straight-guy-loves-a-lesbian market with "Pink Triangle", a much stronger song than "One In Ten").
We come now to two songs that have given me great amounts of frustration and ultimately define the album: "Water Landing" and "Summer Town". Both of these songs have a vintage Third Eye Blind sound, as if they could have been singles from the self-titled release; unfortunately, both are tarnished (and quite possibly ruined) by extended instances of the pseudo-rapping that was only really enjoyable on "Semi-Charmed Life". In "Water Landing" this transgression is only momentary and fleeting (though it still does plenty of damage to the song), but in "Summer Town" the rap goes on for nearly two minutes, which doesn't even take into account that the rap doesn't begin until the song has actually ended, meaning that Jenkins felt so strongly about this rap that – even though he couldn't work it into the song proper – he felt compelled to tack it on at the end of the track. Both of these songs show tremendous promise but ultimately come crashing down under the weight of bad ideas and misconceptions (namely the delusional belief that it is okay for Third Eye Blind to rap; because it's not – there, that's settled).
The rest of the album is adequate if unremarkable. Tracks like "About to Break" and "Don't Believe A Word" try to make political statements and make me wonder if Jenkins wants to be "Bono 2.0" a little too much. Lines like "for the lesbians in the bakery/wondering, do you really hate me?/it's about to break" feel very forced, especially coming from Jenkins, whose best work has always seemed to come in the form of strange introspection rather than outward observation. Heavy-handed statements and political-lyrics-so-poorly-executed-that-I-can't-help-but-be-embarrassed aside, the remaining tracks of the album offer average to below average pop-rock tracks that, frankly, will most likely leave little to no effect on you.
Unfortunately, I feel like my lasting impression of Ursa Major will come from a track that isn't even on the album. When the Red Star EP was released digitally in November of 2008, Third Eye Blind released one of the top tracks in the history of the band. The EP consists of the aforementioned "Why Can't You Be?" live track, as well as the unbelievably terrible "Non-Dairy Creamer" (hands down the worst song that Third Eye Blind has ever released – a winner for that inglorious distinction by a mile), and the title track, "Red Star", an absolutely incredible sonic experience. The verses are crisp, the lyrics clever (and successfully political), the chorus will grow and grow on you, and the syncopated rhythms will have you tapping along, but somehow this intense and isolated success wasn't able to translate to any other songs that 3EB was writing at the time. How does this reflect on Ursa Major? Well, in the end, I think that it's better that "Red Star" didn't make it onto Ursa Major, because, quite frankly, the album doesn't deserve it.
When all is said and done, I know I'll end up being attached to this album in some bizarre way (for better or worse, I know I'll do my damnedest to love it, at that), but the truth of the matter is that – despite my best efforts – I think I can see this album for what it is: a fairly poor and sub-standard pop album. Not poor and sub-standard by Third Eye Blind's standard, but by any band's standard. This album is just not very good, much as I want to will myself to believe otherwise. I'll still be desperately awaiting the next Third Eye Blind release and hoping for something better because, as disappointing as Ursa Major is, it's far from being bad enough to poison me against a band that I love so dearly, but the album itself is, in many ways, regrettable. Sadly, "the time of Ursa Major" is time better spent with other albums.

US equities closed moderately mixed, sp +0.6pts @ 2279. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled lower by -0.2% and 0.1% respectively. VIX settled -1.5% @ 11.81. Near term outlook offers the sp'2310s, with the 2320/30s viable within 2-3 weeks.
Opening equity gains, some moderate cooling, and then another latter day recovery. Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle continues to tick lower. As things are, a bullish cross is out of range until next week.
re: VIX. With the release of the fed press release, there was a flash-print in the VIX of 9.97. Its possible that will be revoked as 'rogue' by the CBOE.. whether later today or this week. If its maintained though, it'll be the first time we've seen single digit VIX since Feb'2007.

Weir's notion that the world financial system and global economy revolves around the precious metals is unquestionably garbage and deluded. If you had to argue one commodity on which the modern world is founded, it would have to be Oil.
But hey, Gold bugs don't wanna hear that. Instead, they'll launch online witch hunts against anyone who dares suggest the metals might see a short/mid term retrace.
Dent does make some valid points, but what about capital flows into the US from less secure places like the EU ? Very few take account of such issues these days. Martin Armstrong remains one of the exceptions, and I'd still outright recommend anyone to follow him.
What about the issue of 'if the bond market has seen a multi-decade peak, then equities will be even stronger?' I sure don't see hardly anyone talking about that.
Ohh, and yes... I sometimes link to many of the gold bugs, and deflationary doomers like Dent. But then, I do like to keep up to date with those who hold very different views.


New state laws in Alabama and West Virginia which treat unborn children as persons help prepare the way for a national Life Amendment. These laws may not end abortion immediately in these states, but they change the culture so that people begin to understand that abortion is incompatible with civilized society.
Even abolishing abortions within a state would not end the battle for that state's children, because pregnant women from that state could travel to another state to abort their babies. So citizens of states like Alabama and West Virginia should be likely to support the Life Amendment, building momentum for the state-level ratification process which is necessary to pass a Constitutional amendment.
Without a Life Amendment, children from every state will remain vulnerable, as abortionists continue to murder them under the color of law.

The Underground Garden: Release Your Love & Nappiness
Oddball Magazine August 27, 2015 August 27, 2015 The Underground Garden
On Saturday, August 29, we are invited to gather from Noon to 8 p.m. for Release Your Dance and Love and Nappiness's third installment of their Release Your Love & Nappiness Outdoor Dance Party Series.
Once again, DJs Savuth, Chris London and Mojavi will be playing soulful old school house music, disco and soul, to name a few.
This installment is also a show of appreciation from Nahdra, owner/designer/visionary extraordinaire of The House of Nahdra for her Royal Tribe. She wanted to combine her love of dance with her love for all those who work hard with her and within The House. The House of Nahdra has been rocking stand-out fashion shows in outstanding form for decades in and around Boston. You never want to miss one of her presentations.
I spoke with DJ Savuth who shared the event is truly designed for "all ages, all races and all genders. There is nothing better than seeing everybody dance in beautiful weather especially with their kids."
DJ Savuth enjoys Jeep Jones Park's setting and location. "Fort Hill is a nice neighborhood. People from the neighborhood enjoy themselves and participate." He enjoys the "smiles on their faces, hands in the air, dancing all day."
"We wanted to come together to truly help spread out positive throughout the city. We wanted to do something different and really show there are things beside what's going on negatively. The way we do it as a community is the music."
He and Chris London felt that nothing was happening with soulful old school house music within the inner city of Boston. Chris London wanted this event to occur in his neighborhood to recognize his surroundings and community. With the incidents of violence our communities have witnessed, this is their way of bringing the community together for rejuvenation.
Release Your Dance, Express Your Love and Nappiness, Embrace The House of Nahdra, Celebrate Your Community. These moments are ours.
Jeep Jones Park, 250 Roxbury Street, Boston this Saturday afternoon into nightfall. Summer nights should be this right.
To the Boston House Music Coalition and Dream Catchers, Thank You for your ongoing support of this event. (Also, the secret passwords are: Look. Out. For. September's.) J
Let Love Rule.
Liza Zayas is a lover of writing and dancing and celebrates both as a singer and songwriter performing as Luna del Flor. You can hear her collaborative sounds and experience life through her storytelling. She invites you to dance. Her poetry seeks to initiate dialogue by intentionally expressing consequences of love, lust, ego and self-respect

OECD Home EnvironmentCurrent state of mobilisation of climate finance
Current state of mobilisation of climate finance
Climate Finance Ministerial Meeting
Remarks by Angel Gurría,
Secretary-General, OECD
Lima, 9 October 2015
(As prepared for delivery)
Thank you for the opportunity to present the key messages from our climate finance report produced in response to a request by the Peruvian Minister of Economy and Finance, Mr Segura Vasi, and the French Minister of Finance and Public Accounts, Mr Sapin. They asked the OECD to provide an up-to-date aggregate estimate of mobilised climate finance in relation to the commitment by developed countries to mobilise jointly USD 100 billion a year by 2020 for climate action in developing countries. We have done this work in collaboration with Climate Policy Initiative.
I want to make three points:
First, momentum is building. We estimate the aggregate volume of public and private climate finance mobilised by developed countries at USD 62 billion in 2014, up from USD 52 billion in 2013, with an average for the two years of USD 57 billion a year in 2013-14.
Public finance comprises 71 percent of the total, and mobilised private finance 26 percent with a small amount of export credits, largely for renewables, making up the rest.
Strikingly, over 77 percent of this finance is for climate mitigation; 16 percent is for adaptation, and a further seven percent address both mitigation and adaptation.
This is a robust estimate. Nevertheless, our estimates do not fully capture all mobilised finance. There are challenges in measuring adaptation finance and the crucial role of enabling environments in mobilising private finance cannot at this stage be quantified.
The scale of climate finance represents real progress towards the USD 100 billion goal. But more needs to be done, including to address financing for adaptation.
Second, this is a preliminary estimate.
The coverage and consistency of public finance data is better than for mobilised private finance, where measurement and reporting is in its infancy.
Reporting of countries' bilateral public finance under the UNFCCC is improving but more can be done.
Further progress is needed to improve methodologies for measuring and reporting climate finance and transparency.
The UNFCCC Standing Committee on Finance has made some important recommendations in this area. Inevitably, it will take time and considerable hard work before the remaining methodological issues are adequately addressed. But this is an essential task.
My final point is that the OECD and CPI remains committed to supporting the efforts of the international community on these important issues.
Climate Finance in 2013-14 and the USD 100 billion goal
Mr. Angel Gurría, Secretary-General of the OECD, in Lima from 7 to 10 October 2015
