The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) is a Trotskyist political party in the United States, one of several Socialist Equality Parties around the world affiliated with the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI). The ICFI publishes daily news articles, perspectives and commentaries on the World Socialist Web Site.
According to the party's website, the SEP "seeks not to reform capitalism, but to create a socialist, democratic and egalitarian society through the establishment of a workers' government and the revolutionary transformation of the world economy. We seek to unify workers in the United States and internationally in the common struggle for socialism—that is, for equality and the rational and democratic utilization of the wealth of the planet."
In 2008, the SEP held its official founding congress, where it adopted a statement of principles and a historical document. It has participated in elections in the US, running Jerry White for president and Phyllis Scherrer for vice president in the 2012 presidential elections. The most recent candidacy is for Mayor of Detroit, with the SEP running D'Artagnan Collier.

Revolutionary tendency
In the early 1960s, most U.S. Trotskyists were organized in the International Secretariat of the Fourth International (ISFI). With others, including James Robertson, he formed the Revolutionary Tendency (RT) within the SWP. It developed links with the Socialist Labour League in Britain, led by Gerry Healy.
They saw the course of the SWP towards a regrouping with the ISFI, which had long been called "Pabloite" by members of the ICFI, as breaking with basic Trotskyist principles. The party leadership at the same time blocked discussion over other issues, such as the SWP's support for Fidel Castro as an "unconscious" Trotskyist.
The ICFI leadership, supported by the RT, argued that if a revolution can be carried out by an unconscious Trotskyist, there was no point of building the Fourth International as the conscious leadership of the working class. The ICFI traced the SWP's support for Cuba to their "regroupment" policy, in which, according to the ICFI, they attempted to gain the support of the middle-class radical supporters of Cuba. The ICFI claimed this was done without a genuine discussion of the principles of the Fourth International.
Reorganized Minority Tendency
The two main leaders of the RT had different evaluations of the SWP. Robertson's position led the SWP to expel him and his supporters first, but he and his supporters did not join the ICFI. Robertson's group went on to form the Spartacist League. The remainder of the tendency, now led by Wohlforth alone, renamed their group the Reorganized Minority Tendency.
Wohlforth and his supporters were themselves expelled in 1964, but they maintained connections with Gerry Healy and the rest of the ICFI, which they considered the legitimate Trotskyist movement.
They claimed the split was due to their insistence on a discussion of the decision by the Sri Lankan Lanka Sama Samaja Party to participate in the national government. They explained this decision as "opportunism" that originated in the "centrist" position of the LSSP during the split between the ISFI and ICFI of 1953.
American Committee of the Fourth International
Those Americans expelled from the SWP then formed the American Committee of the Fourth International (ACFI) and became the United States section of the ICFI, while the SWP joined the ISFI. At this time, the Socialist Labour League under Gerry Healy was the largest section of the ICFI, followed by the French OCI.
Workers League
The ACFI grew throughout the 1960s along with most leftist groupings. The ACFI was renamed the Workers League in 1966 and developed into a nationwide organisation with hundreds of members. Its youth work, which led to the development of the Young Socialists, was particularly successful in this period.
In 1985, the ICFI split over policies advanced by the Workers Revolutionary Party. The policies they disagreed with included supporting national bourgeois regimes, including those of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi, and supporting Stalinists such as Gordon McLennan of the Communist Party of Great Britain. Many of Healy's former supporters saw these moves as a repetition of the mistakes of Pabloism.
The Workers League engaged in a long-term campaign against the rival Socialist Workers Party. In the 1970s they issued a report titled "Security and the Fourth International" which alleged, amongst other things, that leading SWP member Joseph Hansen, who had been an assistant to Leon Trotsky during his Mexico City exile, was an accomplice in his assassination alleging that he and, by implication the SWP, were agents of the Soviet secret police (GPU). The WL also supported a lawsuit against the SWP by expelled member Alan Gelfand, who argued that he had been unconstitutionally deprived of his freedom of political expression by being expelled from the SWP by agents of the government. He attempted to force the government to reveal all its agents in the SWP and force the SWP to readmit him as a member. The lawsuit was dismissed in 1989, but not before confirming that former SWP leader Jim Cannon's secretary, Sylvia Callen (referred to by then-SWP national secretary Jack Barnes as his "hero") had been a GPU agent.
The WL and its successor organization, the Socialist Equality Party, also countered the SWP's campaign in defense of Mark Curtis with its own campaign alleging that the SWP member was guilty of the sexual assault charge for which he was imprisoned.[1][2]
In 1995, the various parties affiliated with the ICFI renamed themselves the Socialist Equality Party. The ICFI publishes the World Socialist Web Site, which was launched in 1998.[3] It is claimed that at the same time the SEP transformed its print shop into a commercial business, Grand River Printing and Imaging.[4] In 2006, the Socialist Equality Party relaunched its student movement, the Students for Social Equality, as the International Students for Social Equality emphasizing the international perspective of the party and anticipating a growing radicalization of workers, students, and youth.
Other Socialist Equality parties linked to the one in the United States exist in Australia, Canada, Germany, Sri Lanka and the United Kingdom.
" The Socialist Equality Party is a political party of and for the working class. The SEP seeks not to reform capitalism, but to create a socialist, democratic and egalitarian society through the establishment of a workers' government and the revolutionary transformation of world economy. We seek to unify workers in the United States and internationally in the common struggle for socialism—that is, for equality and the rational and democratic utilization of the wealth of the planet. "
—Socialist Equality Party webpage
The Obama Administration
The Socialist Equality Party claims that the majority of left-wing opponents of the Bush Administration have "lined up behind the Obama Administration",[5] despite the fact that the Obama Administration's policies are in many respects similar to those of the Bush Administration. The Socialist Equality Party seeks to create a mass movement in opposition to the Obama Administration on the basis of a Socialist program.
Workers' struggles and the trade unions
Although some members[6] of the Socialist Equality Party are union members, and the Party is committed to working within those organizations,[7] it does not seek to facilitate any sort of social change through the trade unions,[8] which they characterize as having interests antithetical to the workers they represent. The Party calls for a break with the US union bureaucracies and the formation of "workplace committees" that will carry on economic struggles.
International Revolution
The Socialist Equality Party believes the revolution against capitalism is international in scope.[9] Therefore, the strategy of the SEP flows from a consideration of the international conditions of the working class.
Class Unity
The SEP fights for the unity of the working class, and opposes "identity politics." According to the party, the "shift from class to identity has been at the expense of an understanding of the real causes, rooted in the capitalist system, of the hardships that confront all working people. At its worst, it has promoted a competition among different "identities" for access to educational institutions, jobs and other "opportunities" which, in a socialist society, would be freely available to all people without such demeaning, dehumanizing and arbitrary distinctions."[10] The party opposes all forms of discrimination on any grounds, and asserts that only a politically unified working class, composed of all races, religions, and sexual orientations, can bring forth a free society.[11]
Democratic Rights
The Socialist Equality Party believes democracy is a fundamental characteristic of the struggle for socialism.[12] The party states, "Political equality is impossible without economic equality. Like the struggle against war, the fight to defend and expand democratic rights requires the independent political mobilization of the working class, on the basis of a socialist program, to conquer state power."[13] Further, "it would favor the abolition of existing institutions that either curtail democratic processes or serve as centers of conspiracy against the people (such as the imperial Presidency, standing army, and national-security apparatus). These and other necessary changes of a profoundly democratic character, to be determined by the masses themselves, are possible only in the context of the mass mobilization of the working class, imbued with socialist consciousness."[14]
Imperialism and War
The SEP asserts that capitalism leads inevitably to war, as imperialist states seek geo-political dominance, spheres of influence, markets, control of vital resources, and access to cheap labor.[15] Therefore, the SEP encourages and supports the widest mass protests against US militarism and its plans for war. The War on Terror is viewed as an assertion of imperial aggression on behalf of corporate interests, and the SEP calls for an end to the conflicts in the Middle East.[16]
Recent interventions
Massey coal mine explosion reports
The Socialist Equality Party sent World Socialist Web Site reporters to West Virginia after the Massey Upper Big Branch Mine disaster, which occurred on April 5, 2010.[17] According to one of the reports, Massey workers claimed that the company had refused to allow them time off so that they could attend the funerals of their co-workers.[18] The World Socialist Web Site claimed that the article containing these interviews was "widely circulated and reposted or linked on the Internet."[19]
Citizens Inquiry into the Dexter Avenue Fire
In March 2010, the Socialist Equality Party initiated the Citizens Inquiry into the Dexter Avenue Fire in order to expose the life-threatening dangers caused by utility shutoffs" after Sylvia Young, a single mother living on Dexter Avenue in Detroit, lost three of her children in a February fire several hours after DTE shut off her power and gas.[20] The committee held a press conference on March 11,[21] a hearing on March 20,[22] and Fox 2 News did a television report.[23] The inquiry conducted interviews with Sylvia Young's sister and attendees of the hearing.[24][25] The inquiry concluded with a report-back meeting on April 13, at which it announced its findings.[26] The inquiry concluded that (1) "There is a direct and clearly established link between utility shutoffs and house fires," (2) "The claim that there are resources widely available to help people pay their utility bills is untrue" and "the programs that exist are inadequate and designed to benefit DTE," (3) "DTE's policies are determined not by community need, but by corporate and shareholder interests," (4) "The city and state governments work on behalf of DTE and other corporations. Government officials have longstanding political and business ties to DTE," (5) "Extreme poverty and mass unemployment are decisive factors in deadly house fires," (6) "Sylvia Young, the mother of the three children killed in the Bangor Street fire, has been wrongly victimized," and (7) "DTE Energy, its executives and regulating agencies bear primary responsibility for the deaths of Marvin Allen, Tyrone Allen, Lynn Greer, and the three Young children." The Citizens Inquiry also made a number of recommendations for solving the problems that it had uncovered.[26]
Committee Against Utility Shutoffs
In May 2010, workers and young people established the Committee Against Utility Shutoffs (CAUS) in response to the deadly house fires in Detroit, Michigan that were "the result of the shutoff of gas and electrical service by the local utility monopoly, DTE Energy."[27]
Defend the DIA campaign
On October 4, 2013 the Socialist Equality Party organized a popular demonstration in Detroit to oppose the sale of artwork at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the dismantling of Detroit pensions.[28] Both the sale and threats to pensions are associated with the Detroit bankruptcy.
Public conferences
In 2009, the Socialist Equality Party held regional public conferences in Los Angeles, California (May 10), New York City (May 3), and Ann Arbor, Michigan (April 25). The topic of the conferences was "The world economic crisis, the failure of capitalism and the case for socialism." According to a report, the conferences were attended by workers and students from across the country.[29] A resolution passed at the conference was later published by the party on May 20.[30]
On April 18 and 19 2010, the party held a public conference in Ann Arbor, Michigan on the topic of "Social Crisis and War: The Fight for a Socialist Alternative."[31] A report claimed that the conference was attended by "many workers and working class youth who have been drawn into politics by the economic crisis."[32] On April 23, the party published the resolutions passed at the conference on the World Socialist Web Site.[33] The resolution on socialist program called for "the international unity of the working class," "the political independence of the working class," "an emergency public works program," "nationalization of the banks and major corporations," "redistribution of wealth," "an end to militarism and war," and "defense of democratic rights."
The Socialist Equality Party has also run candidates in several recent elections. In 2003, it ran John Christopher Burton in the California recall gubernatorial elections,[34] although it urged people to vote "No" on the recall because it saw the recall campaign as an anti-democratic attempt by right-wing forces to undo the results of the election that happened only a few months earlier.[35] Burton received 6,000 votes and came in 13th in a field of 135 candidates.
In the 2004 presidential elections, it nominated Bill Van Auken for President and Jim Lawrence for Vice-President.[36]
The Socialist Equality Party also ran candidates for the 2006 US mid-term elections, including Bill Van Auken for US Senate in New York State,[37] Jerome White for Congress in Michigan and John Burton for Congress in California.[38] In its elections it called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Other candidates, announced on the World Socialist Web Site on May 15, 2006 included:
Joe Parnarauskis, a nurse, for Illinois State Senate (District 52, Champaign-Urbana)
Eric Des Marais, a graduate student, for Maine State Senate (District 32, Bangor)
Christie M. Schaefer, a service worker, for Oregon State Senate (District 19, Portland)
Paul Palinkas, a computer consultant, for Washington State House (District 36, Seattle)[39]
In 2008, the party did not seek ballot status, citing "prohibitive ballot access laws." It instead encouraged voters to write the candidates in.[40]
In 2009, the party sponsored D'Artagnan Collier in the Detroit mayoral election.[41][42]
In 2010, the party sponsored Collier as a candidate for state representative in Michigan's 9th District in Detroit.
In 2012, the SEP ran White for president and Phyllis Scherrer for vice president.
In 2013, the SEP ran D'Artagnan Collier for Detroit Mayor.[43] D'Artaganan received 91 votes, or 0.1%.

Thanks for sharing this, Jeff! It's been great fun working with your poetry to create these coasters!
I like how you got all infomercial-like there at the end. Had we discussed that late-night cable TV Coaster Commercial yet? That's in your budget, right?

1)	Micrometric size-Magnetic Sensors: Arrays of standard MR sensors are fabricated and patterned on silicon substrates. Other substrates can be envisioned including flexible substrates to improve the scanner sensing capabilities while facing topographic irregularities of biological tissues. 2)	Thin film deposition: The patterning of materials at nanoscale can be used to design new formats for the MR sensors arrays. The artist will have access to ultra-high vacuum machines. 3)	Digital imaging and electronics enable the magnetic/optical signal acquisition for 3D mapping of cells at the molecular scale.
The ability to generate and manipulate the electron spins in magnetic multilayer thin films (with thickness as low as few Å), has led to the development of extremely sensitive magnetic sensors with the capacity to detect ultra-low intensity signals such as those produced by a biomolecule tagged with a single magnetic label. In particular, magnetoresistive (MR) sensors with their tunable response and adjustable operation range are perfect candidates for room temperature applications. Their compatibility with silicon technology and microfabrication enables the production of small foot-print devices, with low power consumption requirements. Moreover, they can be produced at large scale using wafer level processing techniques thus generating low-cost sensing units amenable to be integrated into diagnostic devices. The technology behind MagScopy for Health takes advantage of the consolidated experience of INESC MN on the fabrication of MR sensors for biomedical applications and aims to develop a magnetic camera for a 3D imaging of biological tissues specifically labelled with magnetic nanoparticles for the identification of disease states.
The project will benefit from a creative point of view in the design of adequate and functional magnetic scanners that can be used by a common pathologist, in standard clinical settings. Features may include for example portability, user-friendly design, proper weight and dimensions. In this view, an artist with and industrial design background and knowledge on material proprieties will be suitable for such propose. The multidisciplinary nature of the project also accommodates other specialties including digital imaging and photography that may address the creation of 3D objects and audio-visual materials (teasers, 3D animations of nanotechnology processes), as follow-up tools of the scientific progress of the project. Alternatively, the possibility to explore new materials at the nano-scale or the optical/magnetic proprieties of biological tissues at the molecular level may convey fine art dedicated artists to explore new perspectives, not usually accessible to the general community.
The INESC-MN facilities will be available to the artists during standard working hours. These will include access to INESC-MN laboratories and Cleanroom once safety measures and training are provided. Whenever equipment usage is necessary an INESC-MN staff member will be always present, including vacuum technologies. The artist will have a dedicated work space including internet access. Additionally, the artist will have access to a variety of materials including metals (aluminum, chromium, gold, titanium, nickel, copper), metal alloys and magnetic materials that can be manipulated at different scales (nm-mm range). Travel budget can be provided.

Mushing Huskies
Sophomore forward Shane Gersich (right) scored four goals during this weekend's series against St. Cloud State University, including his first collegiate hat trick.
After six consecutive winless results, the UND men's hockey team can sleep a little easier at night after sweeping the St. Cloud State Huskies. Not only does this end the streak, but it also marks as the first time since 1998 when UND swept the Huskies in St. Cloud.
"That (sweep stat) was something we were talking about before the weekend and then after we took care of business Friday night it was something that we kind of touched on in our locker room amongst ourselves and with the staff," said goalie Cam Johnson after Saturday's win.
"Very proud of our guys," said head coach Brad Berry. "They worked extremely hard, not just for 60 minutes, but for 120 minutes. It all started last Monday in practice when there was a workmanlike attitude. It was all business. It's a great step for our team. We've got to keep building our team and remember how we played."
Friday's game looked like it was going to be another classic matchup between the long time conference rivals. Shane Gersich had other plans.
The sophomore was able to find the back of the net on a power play goal late in the first period to give UND a one-goal lead going into the second. Even though that was all Johnson needed, the goal scoring didn't stop there.
Freshman Ludvig Hoff added on a goal to make it 2-0 mid way in the second period followed by two more goals for Gersich to give him the hat trick to give UND a comfortable position going into the third.
Johnson took care of the matter on the other end of the ice stopping every shot that came his way, resulting in a 26 save shutout.
"I needed that," Johnson said. "My save percentage, my stats have been subpar but that's something that I really haven't tried to look at it because I think I've been playing well this year."
Saturday night was no different for the Hawks. The goals came consistently with a goal scored in each period courtesy of Rhett Gardner, Gersich, and Tucker Poolman.
Again one goal was enough for Johnson as he was as sharp as a nail Saturday night as well stopping every single one of the 36 shots slung his way.
With Friday's win, UND was able to pump the brakes on a six game winless streak. The last time the team had a winless streak like that was way back in the 2002-2003 season when they didn't win for seven straight games. To put that into perspective, a freshman from St. Paul, Minn. named Zach Parise was on the squad.
With the four goals scored by Gersich, he jumped out to be the points leader for UND with 10 goals and eight assists to give him 18 points. With a total of 62 saves this weekend, Johnson saw a nice bump in his save percentage going from .895 to .915 while averaging a hair over two goals against a game.
With the sweep of the NCHC rival that is St. Cloud State, UND is now back in the thick of things in the standings.
Nebraska-Omaha was swept by Minnesota Duluth, Western Michigan split with Air Force, and Denver tied with Miami, Ohio both games to cause a bottle neck in the standings. The UMD Bulldogs continue to keep a stranglehold on the NCHC with a seven point lead over second place Denver. 3rd-5th is a different story. There is only a point separating the two teams as every point matters to keep up with the Bulldogs.
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, there's plenty to be thankful for the UND faithful. They were able to stop the bleeding and get back to the Fighting Hawks' way of hockey.
This upcoming Subway Classic features UND going up against the Big Ten's Michigan State on Friday and Saturday.

"Mr. Freddie"
Nakia Mayfield | 8/30/2013, midnight
Mr. Freddie passed away Friday, August 23, 2013 Dena Wane
"Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear." —Anonymous
As one of the former staff writer's at The Baltimore Times, I have been asked to write many stories before, but this is by far the hardest. How do you put into words what a person means to you, especially when that person is Freddie Howard, affectionately known as "Mr. Freddie" to all who knew and loved him. Learning of his passing has broken my heart, but I am flooded with so many memories of a man, who from day one treated me, and everyone he knew like family. You would be hard pressed to find anyone who knew Freddie, speak an unkind word about the man who lived and breathed the newspaper business.
Freddie was such an intricate part of The Baltimore Times, it's hard to believe that he is gone. In the 22 years he worked for the paper, Freddie loved what he did. He enjoyed seeing the final product hit the streets (he also delivered the papers to the boxes every Friday). Freddie believed in The Baltimore Times. It did not get any better than being part of a paper that printed "Positive Stories about Positive People". He was proud of the Baltimore Times because we truly put thought into every story and took responsibility in what we gave to the public. We were a small staff, but the love for the paper showed whether you wrote, designed or worked in sales. It is a family-owned paper, and we were family.
"Freddie was my mentor and my friend. He taught me most of what I know about the newspaper business. I enjoyed listening to his many stories when he was in the mood to reminisce, particularly about how he got started in the printing business. He told me that once you have ink in your blood, you can't get it out. And he was right. It's still in my blood after twenty years.
"He didn't talk a whole lot, but he cared a lot and when he gave advice you could take it to the bank. One of our favorite conversations always took place around this time of year, when we would "bet" each other who would win the different tennis matches on television.
I will miss Freddie, but I am honored that our paths crossed. His wisdom and love will live on forever in my heart," said Dena Wane, director of Special Projects at The Baltimore Times.
Even as some of us moved on, I continued to stop by the paper because they were a second family. And to be honest, my daughter Myra, who is an honorary "Baltimore Times baby," (as owner and publisher Jocelyn "Joy" Bramble called every child born to a parent who worked for the newspaper) always wanted to visit. Even if we got close to 25th and North Charles, Myra just had to go see everyone, especially Mr. Freddie. I honestly think it had more to do with the bags of candy and fruit he gave to her, if you ask me. But I know even if he did not have treats, she would want to visit her friend.

Q: How to remove CLI Docker message 'Cannot connect to the Docker daemon ...' on MacOS? Problem description:
Each time I start any CLI on my Mac, a message appears multiple times in it: "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"
The message appears only if the Docker application is not running. The Docker software basically works on my machine, so there is no need to fix it: When I start the Docker application manually, the message is not shown; as expected.

Desired solution: I just want to get rid of the message. Is there any way to fix or suppress it; like remove it from some autostart file or folder?
Why? - I prefer to start Docker manually when I need it; in order to save system resources and reduce battery usage.

My setup:

*

*Docker Desktop: 2.0.0.3 (31259) - Stable

*Docker Engine: 18.09.2

*OS: MacOS Mojave, 10.14.3

Tested CLIs:

*

*MacOS Terminal 2.9.1

*iTerm2 3.2.7

*Hyper 2.1.2

*(PhpStorm IDE 2018.3.4)

Previous research:

*

*I found out that the file 'docker.sock' exists in the path "Macintosh HD/private/var/run/docker.sock". I'm not sure if this was a good idea, but deleting it didn't help. After this Docker still works if started manually.

*All other solutions I found so far are for different problems - more complex setups like nested containers; Docker itself being broken or additional software having issues. These don't relate to my problem.

A: Problem
I found a solution and that there are different possible issues.
The file .bash_aliases in the User folder contains aliases for Docker commands. These are read and run (?) each time the CLI starts.
Errors appear in these cases:

*

*Docker is not installed (obviously)

*Docker is not started at all

*Docker is starting (but not finished yet)

*Docker is shutting down (but not finished yet)

This results in these messages:

*

*"Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

*

*Happens when Docker is not started at all.

*"Error response from daemon: Bad response from Docker engine"

*

*Happens when Docker is either starting or shutting down.

Solution
Wrapping the aliases with a silenced check did the trick for me on MacOS. This will remove any CLI error message from aliases being not available.
docker_code=$(docker ps &>/dev/null)
docker_status=$?
# echo "Docker status: $docker_status"

if [ "$docker_status" == "0" ]; then
    # OK: Docker has started and is fully running
    alias dcu="docker-compose up"
    alias dcd="docker-compose down"
    alias dcb="docker-compose build"
fi
# else = FAIL: Docker is not available, not running or shutting down

Practical use
This might not make sense for everyone, as aliases are sometimes not available.
Solutions

*

*Add a nice info message to inform that they have been skipped (instead of muting the error).

*Create an alias that allows you to reload the available commands on-the-fly without having to close the CLI:

# Reload Bash config
alias rcfg="source ~/.bashrc"

Resources & Credits
The above solution is based on these articles:

*

*Valkyrie Studios - medium.com

*freeCodeCamp - medium.com

A: I had the same issue. I think, this is a very generic problem and surprisingly hardly anyone of the posts like this on stack-overflow has answered the issue.
Below is my finding :

*

*As a first step, you can try uninstalling/installing the docker setup.

*But the main twist is to find out the exact issue. For me, it looks like one of my container was crashing the docker engine because of the growing memory footprint.

*So, to mitigate that, I went to docker engine settings -> Resources -> Increased Memory and Image Size footprint

Boom. Finally my problem Solved :-)

A: I had it too. It was due to a command in my .bash_profile:
alias killimages="docker kill $(docker ps -q)"

at the start Bash seems to run docker if something like this is in an alias. Didn't know that.

With the backing of a network of partners, EMUL's ambition is to identify relevant solutions for the sustainable Mediterranean city. These solutions must have strong potential for development and reproducibility. The long-term aim is to implement these innovations in the territory in which the Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency is operating its Ecocity project.

Med'INNOVANT: innovative solutions competition
Med'INNOVANT is a competition organised by the Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency and the Euroméditerranée Entrepreneurs' Society. This important event with regards to sustainable urban innovation aims to source, promote and fast track project sponsors (big groups, SMEs, start-ups, associations etc.) who wish to lead innovative initiatives (solutions and services) in line with the challenges of the sustainable Mediterranean city.
Med'INNOVANT is part of an operational vision to launch, in the short- to medium-term, pilot and demonstration projects within the Euroméditerranée Ecocity, over the area covered by the Grand Port Maritime of Marseilles and more broadly the Aix-Marseille Provence Metropolis.
This competition also involves leading industrial partners who wish to fast track their open innovation processes by seeking out start-ups.
* Association co-financed by Euroméditerranée and the CCIMP, which organises and networks over 230 business entrepreneurs who wish to be associated with the economic dynamic driven by Euroméditerranée.
Right to experimentation: licence to innovate
Backed by the French ministry for territorial cohesion, three public development agencies, EPA Euromediterranée in Marseilles, Grand Paris Aménagement and Bordeaux Euratlantique are launching a joint call for expressions of interest (CEI) in order to identify and support innovations of all kinds and their implementation in urban projects.
Today, certain standards applicable to building permits are expressed, such as means standards, which means they impose a way of achieving the objectives set by public policies. They thus prevent the emergence of innovations offering an alternative solution.
The CEI aims to identify innovations coming up against this obstacle, based on article 88-II of the French Act on the freedom of creation, architecture and cultural heritage of 7 July 2016, which introduced the "licence to innovate" into law for 7 years (2016-2022).
It provides, through short applications (fewer than 10 pages) "innovators" (architects, design offices, innovating firms etc.) with the opportunity to put forward their innovations for integration in future urban and property projects.

FAO The Principal
I would like to congratulate your students who represented your school so well at last week's tennis tournament in Edgbaston, and all your staff who were involved. I have been watching the tennis at the Edgbaston Priory Club for 25 years and think that this year's crew were exceptional, not only technically but in the way they conducted themselves in and around the club. They were obviously very well coached and it was noticeable how much pride they had in the role they played and how much they appeared to enjoy themselves. In the words of Venus Williams, during one of her post-match interviews, I hope many of them will now be inspired to, "Pick up a racquet and start playing!"

We now have a dedicated printer, stocked constantly with blue paper, for printing the NExpress pull slips. It's Lib250blue!
When printing NExpress slips just select this printer from the list of possible printers. After you have printed the NExpress pull slips you will need to collect the slips from the tower printer in Lib250c, the ILL work area behind the Circulation desk.
Students from our NExpress partner libraries – Williams, Bowdoin, Bates, Colby, Northeastern, Wellesley – can borrow directly from Midd with their home school ID and Midd students can borrow directly from NExpress partner schools with their Midd ID.
Please refer questions to a supervisor. The check-out mode is in the NExpress module of Mill Circ. Select the home school and type in the ID number, verify that you are in the correct borrower record, check-out as usual.
Pink Bands, Blue Bands, Green Bands Oh My!
The different colored bands around library materials that we borrow from other libraries can be really confusing! Each color has to be handled a little differently.
Seems this week we've had a lot of ILL carts floating in and out of Circ. I like the idea of Circ checking in NExpress returns, it seems to fit well with what we do at Circ. If we continue this process, it would be great to have clear signage on the carts, as we handle a lot of books and the books need to end up in the right place!

Three Guys (Swiss, Kiwi, Fil-Am) and a Grill ? in Brgy. Poblacion!
Three Guys and a Grill is a story of a Swiss guy named Tom Thurnherr, a Kiwi named Duncan Gates, and a Fil-Am named Frank Shrope, who shared a passion for grilled meats and opened a hotdog hole-in-the-wall in Brgy. Poblacion, Makati.
Their promise is to serve the "Best Hotdog, Best Bread" in Manila, with customized hotdogs from Santi's and bread from Food Garage by Chef Sau del Rosario.
Here's what to expect and what to order at Three Guys and a Grill…
THREE GUYS AND A GRILL
4364 B. Valdez, Brgy. Poblacion, Makati
(original location of Beni Falafel)
Facebook: @3GuysGrill
Instagram: @3GuysGrill
Operating Hours: Open Daily, 5.00 pm to 2.00 am
Three Guys and a Grill Menu: Hotdogs | Drinks
It's like a sausage fest here! The place aims to promote the sausage street food culture from around the world.
The best seats in the house are by the counter table with an outdoor view. It's like having front row, air-conditioned seats to the life along the Makati streets.
The sausages are delivered fresh from Santi's, never frozen, and cooked to order and finished on a charcoal grill.
Engkanto IPA (P100 – 12oz)
I love that they serve my favorite craft draft–IPA from Engkanto. It matches well with their hotdogs without filling you up.
Three Colored Chips (P60)
The only thing fried on the menu is this medley of thinly sliced potato, ube, and kamote chips that you can order while you wait for your sausage.
A blast from the past! Nobody wanted to be caught opening these, but I secretly wanted to eat some and relive my Pinoy childhood memories.
Tom Thurnherr, a CTO Swiss guy living in Manila, loves their signature The Bird Dog.
The Bird Dog (P180). Curry Chicken Sausage, Sriracha Mayo, Home-made Ketchup, Grilled Onions, Sliced Pickles.
The chicken dog is big but does not have any character by itself. But when combined with the curry, the sauces, and the toppings, it becomes one of the most favorite hotdogs, including my wife Rache's.
Add a sauce (+P20). Home-made Ketchup, Guava Mustard, Home-made BBQ Sauce, Mayo, Sriracha Mayo.
All the sauces are home-made. You can really taste the difference in flavor from the commercially available ones.
The Thunder Dog (P180). German Pork Bratwurst, Sliced Pickles, Guava Mustard, Sauerkraut.
This German dog is named after Thurnherr. I like the bite of the bratwurst and how it tastes like real hotdog. I also like the combination of the guava mustard and sauerkraut.
Add a topping (+P30). Fresh or Grilled Onion, Sliced Pickles, Jalapenos, Sauerkraut.
Because the toppings are also home-made, the flavors are more intense. You actually don't need any additional topping.
Duncan Gates, the Kiwi Expat turned first time entrepreneur from New Zealand, loves The Fil-Am Frank.
The Fil-Am Frank (P180). All Beef Sausage, Slicked Pickles, Home-made BBQ Sauce, Grilled Onions, Jalapenos.
Named after their Fil-Am partner. Not your typical sausage as it's made from beef and not pork.
Although thinner and more compact, the BBQ sauce made this a winning sausage.
The Posh Dog (P250). German Pork Bratwurst, Truffle Honey Mustard, Grilled Onions, Cheese.
My personal favorite! German Pork Bratwurst with premium truffle honey mustard and organic cheddar cheese toppings on a wheat sausage bun.
I love the story of the Three Guys! Their grill concept is focused on hotdogs for now, but I'm hoping to see them do other grilled meat specials like lamb chops from New Zealand, or even premium meats from Switzerland or the US.
Most of the hotdogs we tried were really good because the toppings and sauces have a lot of flavor while not overpowering the meat. The sausages have a good bite and taste how they should be.
Start with whether you prefer pork, beef, or chicken, and then choose the toppings you would like to go with your hotdog. I would go with the wheat bread, which is soft but still has the structure to hold the sausage. The white bread has a more baguette-y texture and is a good choice for those who prefer the European type of bread.
For chili heads, they unfortunately don't have a Hungarian sausage option yet, but they do offer a Spicy Lamb sausage.
Budget about P500/head…you'll be eating two hotdogs and a beer, for sure.
Congrats to Tom, Duncan, and Frank for opening your first restaurant concept in Manila! I'm excited to see what you guys would come up with next.

Disclosure: Our meal was courtesy of Duncan and Tom. I wrote this article with my biases, opinions, and insights.
P.S. The air-conditioning/exhaust wasn't working during our visit, so best to go after a week or so…unless you don't mind smelling like sausage after.
P.P.S. Yes, it's alright to ask your order to be split into two so that you can try more sausages.

Effect Of Coronavirus On Sports Analysed By An Olympic Doctor
Though the Summer Games in Tokyo are expected to go on as scheduled, "it is a dynamically changing situation," said Jonathan Finnoff, the new chief medical officer for Team U.S.A.
Jonathan Finnoff became the chief medical officer of the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee in January, taking on a job that typically focuses on the sports-related injuries and risks of athletes who represent the country at international competitions.
Lately, though, his job has been primarily about the coronavirus and the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, where competition is scheduled to begin on July 22. Stakeholders in the Games — athletes, coaches, sponsors, fans who have bought tickets — want to know what to expect, what the risks are of athletic competition, even whether to avoid the customary postgame handshake with an opponent.
Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, said last week that plans were continuing for the Games to go on as scheduled, and for now, Dr. Finnoff has offered largely common-sense advice: Wash your hands often. Avoid contact with someone exhibiting symptoms. Hand sanitizer and disinfectants can help.
What are those recommendations?
Try not to touch your face. Wash your hands frequently. Stay three feet away from someone coughing. If you have symptoms that include a fever, cough or fatigue, and if you have been in a high-risk area, reach out to a local health authority. Check the Centers for Disease Control for travel recommendations.
Athletes tend to be younger than the general population. The people who seem to be in the most danger from this virus are older and in compromised health. Could there be a shift that makes younger, healthier people more vulnerable?
The epidemiology won't change. It probably will affect the older rather than the young population. It has affected enough people for us to see who is at risk.
Sports are trying to adjust by doing things like banning traditional handshakes. Does that make a difference given all the contact people experience when they play sports?
We have found it very unlikely that this is contagious when someone is asymptomatic. So if the people playing a sport are asymptomatic, then the likelihood of spreading the disease is extremely low.

Territory check-in app failure: Govt admits people not informed of exposure sites

Chief Minister Michael Gunner has blamed a single public servant for the government's failure to notify Territorians they had been at exposure sites through the Territory Check-in app and has moved the employee back to the public service instead of sacking them.
Mr Gunner told a press conference that he had been made aware that users of the app have not been notified they had been at a venue at the same time as a COVID-19 positive person – the very reason the app exists – because of a "reporting failure".
He did not say how long the "reporting failure" had been ongoing with the app that was designed to send automatic messages to people if they had been at the same place as an infected person.
"There is no excuse for this," he said.
"It was a clear decision and a clear direction by the security and emergency management committee.
"The person responsible for tasking this decision has been stood down from the emergency operations centre and will return to regular duties."
Mr Gunner said affected Territorians would start to receive messages from 3pm today for exposure sites recorded over the last seven days.
He cautioned that if a person receives a message, it does not mean they have COVID, but should treat the message as a warning to be extra cautious and get tested if symptoms develop.
"Territorians have a right to be told when they have been to an exposure site, I am sorry this did not happen," Mr Gunner said.
"Nothing excuses it. It will happen now."
By Friday night, people who had received notifications said that it was vague and did not include the date or the location where they had come into contact with someone who had recently tested positive for COVID-19.
The Opposition CLP said the failure to inform people of possible exposures shows the Gunner Government had failed "emergency management 101″ and put Territorians' lives at risk.
"[The government] stopped listing exposure sites on the website before verifying that the text messages were functioning as planned and this puts Territorians lives further at risk," CLP health critic Bill Yan said.
"The Chief Minister and Health Minister continue [to] emphasise how important it is for every Territorian to do the right thing and check-in everywhere they go, but can't be bothered to check up on their own system for over a week.
"Why didn't the government advise us of who will be contacted from 3pm today? Are they people who were exposed over a week ago? How many Territorians have been exposed that should have received text messages?
"This is Emergency Management 101 and any apology is a hollow one if there is still information missing.
"It's yet another example of the COVID chaos that the Gunner Government continues to inflict upon Territorians.
"Michael Gunner, Nicole Manison and Natasha Fyles are all implicated in this latest fiasco and should resign for their incompetence and mismanagement of the whole situation."
Meanwhile, the NT recorded 546 new cases to 8pm last night. There are now 27 people in hospital with COVID-19, up three from yesterday. There are more than 3,000 active cases across the NT, with three quarters of those in the Greater Darwin area.
Lockouts remain in Yuendumu and Yuelamu and have been extended by five days to next Thursday. There were no new cases in Amoonguna, which entered a lockout after recording 16 cases on Thursday.

Cervical disc herniation is a condition where a disc in the cervical spine (neck) has slipped out (herniated) of its normal place between the vertebrae. The herniated disc can compress the nerves exiting from the cervical spine and going down the arms and into the hand. Occasionally the herniated disc can compress the spinal cord directly and cause myelopathy.
It is difficult to attribute a specific cause to cervical disc herniation.
When the disc compresses the nerve root it can cause pain radiating down the arms and occasionally into the hands. The nerve compression may also be associated with muscular weakness and numbness in the arms and hands.
Direct compression of the spinal cord causes myelopathy which is characterised by in-coordination of the hands, difficulty in walking and loss of walking balance and occasionally muscular weakness and numbness in the upper and lower limbs.
Cervical disc herniation is diagnosed by a clinical examination of the symptomatic person and confirmed with an MRI scan. The MRI scans reveals which disc has herniated and the size and extent of neural compression.
A majority of patients can be managed without surgery and the pain subsides in six to twelve weeks. During this phase, the patients are advised to stay active within the limits of their pain. A course of oral steroids may be beneficial in some instances and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID's) can help manage the pain.
Surgery is indicated when there is a) failure of symptoms to subside after non-operative treatment, b) significant or worsening weakness in the arms and hands at presentation and c) myelopathy.


This was the second game of our PCBL Orange County Championship triple-header at beautiful Rod Dedeaux Stadium at USC. The field was in perfect shape for this championship; as was the weather on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon …. so let's get right to the action!
The game is scoreless as the Rays come to bat in the bottom of the 3rd inning. They lead things off with Tom Gallardo who reaches base safely due to an error on the 3rd baseman. He steals 2nd shortly thereafter. Two batters later, Matt Ahrens draws a walk. Moments later, a pass ball advances the runners; with a run scoring. Jason Hilliard follows with an RBI single to left. Two batters later, Tyler Gottstein doubles to left; scoring a pair. The Rays end up getting 4 runs in the inning; now leading 4-0 through 3 complete innings of play.
The Kings' send up Greg Bacon with 1 out in the top of the 4th inning. He reaches base due to a fielders' choice, then advances to 3rd on a balk by the pitcher. Joe Cruz comes up and hits an RBI single. The Kings settle for 1 run in the inning to get on the board in this contest; down 4-1.
The Kings would come up in the top of the 5th inning; still down 4-1. Pitcher Matt Gomez starts things off with a single. He later scores on a Jeff Sagud double. They get 1 run in the inning to cut the deficit to 2; down 4-2 through 4 ½ innings of play.
But then the Rays respond in the bottom of the 6th inning. They lead off with Clint Williamson who singles. Tyler Gottstein followed with a single. However, both runners end up getting put out on the bases. Darren O'Hara followed with a single and advanced to 2nd on a pass ball. Brandon Beato followed with an RBI single. The Rays get 1 run in the inning and now lead the Kings by a score of 5-2.
The Rays come up in the bottom of the 7th, still leading 5-2. With 1 out, Tom Gallardo singles and steals 2nd soon after. Two batters later; Gallardo scores when Jake Long id reaches due to a fielding error. The Rays settle for 1 run in the inning; now leading 6-2 through 7 complete innings of play.
But the Kings cut the gap in the top of the 8th. Joey Cahill draws a 1-out walk. Diego Salcedo follows with a single to left; stealing 2nd soon after. Two batters later, Joe Cruz responds with a 2-run single to right. The Kings end up with 2 runs in the inning; now trailing 6-4 through 7 ½ innings.
The Rays come up in the bottom of the 7th; looking for some much-needed insurance runs. The top of their order, Matt Ahrens, leads things off with a single to right. He's followed by Jason Hilliard who singles to left center; putting runners at the corners. Moments later, a wild pitch scores Ahrens from 3rd. The Rays get 1 run in the inning; leading 7-4 as we move into the top of the 9th inning.
The Rays' send up David Guerro who singles and steals 2nd soon after. He's followed by Matt Neff who singles to center. The next 2 batters would be retired; sending up Jeff Sagud with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th inning. He hits a 2-run single to pull the Kings to within 1; down 7-6. The next batter would be hit by a pitch; bringing the winning run to the plate. However, that batter would go down swinging to end the ballgame.
Congratulations to the 2010 PCBL OC Summer Champion Rays for holding on to win this one in a nail-bitter; defeating a tough Kings squad by the final score of 7-6. Congratulations to both teams for putting on a most competative championship!

Orthodontic treatment is a way of straightening or moving teeth, to improve the appearance of the teeth and how they work. It can also help to look after the long-term health of your teeth, gums and jaw joints, by spreading the biting pressure over all your teeth.Many people have crowded or crooked teeth. Orthodontic treatment will straighten the teeth or move them into a better position. This can improve their appearance and the way the teeth bite together, while also making them easier to clean.
Orthodontic braces usually need adjusting every 4 to 6 weeks. Your orthodontist will tell you how often your brace will need adjusting. When treatment is finished the teeth need to be held in position for a time. This is called the �retention' period, and the appliances that hold the teeth in place are called retainers.

This is how the romance story and the beach wedding started.
I have had so much fun making these miniature landscapes in a glass bowl. Feel free to add your imagination to this story as we head toward the beach wedding.
They were young and not greatly influenced by the wider world around them.
They would meet and walk and talk becoming firm friends.
He jokes to make her laugh as he tries to impress her.
Over time their relationship grew stronger. But as so often happens when life skills are being learned, they had a misunderstanding.
True love strives to understand and works together toward peace and kindness.
They walk and talk to clear their minds, a sweet gesture and a flower, all is well again.
They are learning a relationship saving exercise.
They are maturing – now his very own car.
Yes, it is going to be a beach wedding. So many fun things to plan and buy and dream about.
She has her beautiful wedding dress ready for the big day. Now she excitedly goes for a make-over to look her best. It is a bit scary for her, she is going to the beauty parlor to blonde her hair and to have it styled.
So exciting, she has never done anything like this before.
He is a little nervous, he has never worn a suit before. But here he is and he feels pretty special in it. He wonders what she will wear, what will she look like? She told him that her hair was having a major change. His heart is warmed at the thought of her, she always brings the best out in him.
Here she comes . . . Oh WOW!
This is so cute. I love the little story with the miniatures. The interested me because my daughter is getting married on the Beach in December. I don't do crafts, but if I ever decide to do them, this would be fun!
Thanks Michele, it was fun. I hope you have fun helping to plan your daughters wedding.
Thanks for visiting and commenting Tracy. I am glad that it made you smile.
Such a cute story and the glass bowl wedding scene is adorable!
Roseann, thank you for your very kind comments, I am so glad that you enjoyed the glass bowl scene. I had so much fun doing this post.
This is lovely, I like the little story that goes with it, that is different. The glass bowl with the sun shining on the couple is very well done. I don't think I will be making one though.
Hi Frank, thanks for your kind comments. I am glad that you enjoyed the post. You might surprise yourself if you gave it a go making a miniature scene.
This is adorable. It reminds me of a beach wedding I saw once. I wasn't a guest, just happened to be on the beach and saw it being set up. It seemed like such a romantic setting. Your scene captures it well.
That's so cute, both the story and the miniatures! I'm going to show this to my daughter, she's going to love it too. Thank you for sharing at The Really Crafty Link Party.
I hope your daughter enjoys our miniature scenes, Teresa. Thank you for hosting us on your craft party.

Q: is it possible to multiply an append.input within function? Looking for help with my function...
the function is trying to help the user add choices on a topic of their choosing into a list.
It is supposed to ask the user how many choices they would like to enter. There must be at least 2, but if the user enters a number >2, i would like the function to generate the appropriate number of prompts for the user to enter total choices - 2 (since the function assumes a minimum of 2), and then keep appending the input onto the same list which will be returned at the end once the user has entered all the input.
I'm having trouble with the last part:  "if number >2..." I don't know how to call choice.append(input(...)) number - 2 times. any help would be appreciated!
def first_decisions2():
    number = int((input("Please enter the number of deciding options (eg. 2 or
    greater): ")))
    choice = []
    if number <2:
        return "I'm sorry - you didn't enter enough criteria. Please try again."
    if number == 2:
        choice.append(input("Please enter the first choice: ")),
        choice.append(input("Please enter the second choice: "))
        return choice

    if number >2:
        return (number - 2) * choice.append(input("Please enter the next choice: "))

    return choice

A: def first_decisions2():
    number = int((input("Please enter the number of deciding options (eg. 2 or greater): ")))
    choice = []
    if number < 2:
        # return "I'm sorry - you didn't enter enough criteria. Please try again."
        return false

    if number == 2:
        choice.append(input("Please enter the first choice: ")),
        choice.append(input("Please enter the second choice: "))
        return choice

    if number > 2:
        for c in range(0, number - 1):
            choice.append(input("Please enter the next choice: "))
        return choice

    return choice

I would loop through the number chosen asking for input each time like so

Warning on bringing lupins east5 months, 2 weeks ago
Warning on bringing lupins east
4 Feb 2019, 5 p.m.
Concerns about lupin anthracnose means there are restrictions in bringing lupin seed and fodder around from WA to the east coast.
In spite of the drought, grain lupins from WA cannot be brought to NSW due to concerns about lupin anthracnose.
IN SPITE of the enormous demand for grain and fodder from the eastern states, which has seen a steady procession of ships carrying animal feed from WA to eastern ports, disease concerns mean lupins are unlikely to be among the shipments.
Tough restrictions in NSW, and to a lesser extent Victoria, are in place to minimise the threat of the devastating lupin anthracnose disease, with NSW not accepting any lupin seed from WA or SA, where the disease is found.
Lupin anthracnose is a fungal disease that can cripple the pulse crop.
It occurs around the globe, but New South Wales and Victoria are both currently free from the disease.
Victoria requires certification for lupin grain imports, with none to be used for sowing, and has no specific regulations surrounding the importation of lupin hay or hay that could contain lupin material.
In NSW there can be no lupins in seed or plant form brought in from WA or SA and all fodder products require a vendor declaration to assure there is no material that may contain lupin anthracnose.
On the flip side, WA farmers are being urged to be careful they do not leave themselves liable for penalties due to inadvertently transporting lupin material to areas it is not allowed or requires a declaration.
While lupins have been relegated to the role of a niche crop in the eastern states, the legume remains far and away WA's most important pulse crop.
It's ability to tolerate sandy, high acid soils, compared to other pulses which struggle on soils with pHs less than 6, means it is still widely grown in the west.
This year, the December Crop report from the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) estimated around 600,000 tonnes would be grown in WA in 2018-19.
The reluctance to accept lupin material in NSW comes from a desire to remain anthracnose free.
There was a case reported in the Riverina in 2016 but since there it has remained unsighted.
NSW DPI director of plant biosecurity and product integrity Satendra Kumar said lupin in seed form for sowing, stock feed and fodder from Western and Southern Australia is prohibited in NSW due to it being a pathway of introduction of anthracnose.
"People handling, transporting or receiving fodder, as well as lupin growers play an important role in continuing to keep this disease out, to the very great benefit of our growers," Dr Kumar said.
"The lupin growers in NSW are at a distinct advantage in terms of the lupin varieties that can be grown and low costs of production, as there is no need to apply foliar fungicides.
"This advantage can be easily lost if lupin anthracnose gets established in NSW, with research showing that one infected seed in 10, 000 is sufficient to cause a disease epidemic, in a suitable season."
"Restrictions put in place in 1997 by NSW Agriculture have been highly effective in protecting NSW lupin producers from anthracnose entry and establishment in NSW," Dr Kumar said.
Grain lupins are good source of protein for livestock.
In terms of fodder, it is more likely the lupin matter would be brought in through fodder made from a different crop rather than lupins on their own.
The story Warning on bringing lupins east first appeared on Farm Online.
