On Thursday, Feb. 6, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen presented Boston Center (ZBW) members Jeff Aulbach, Neil Cóspito, and Michael Jacobson with a statement she recently put in the Congressional Record (click on image to the right to view) that honors their actions during a Nov. 20, 2018 save that also earned them the 2019 New England Region Archie League Medal of Safety Award at NATCA's Communicating For Safety conference.
Shaheen made the presentation during an event at ZBW with friends, family, and co-workers. Several New Hampshire and Boston news media outlets were also present.
"This is an incredible story," Shaheen said. "Today, I was honored to present these controllers with a statement I put in the Congressional Record that honors their heroic actions. Their courage, calmness, and quick thinking will now be recorded in history."
The three members were tracking an F-16 from the Vermont Air National Guard, piloted by Lt. Col. Nate Smith. Poor weather prevented Smith from landing at his home base in Burlington, Vt. With only 15 minutes of fuel left, Aulbach, Cóspito, and Jacobson quickly came up with a plan and were able to divert a flight of KC-135 refueling tankers to Smith for a mid-air refueling. After the F-16 refueled, they safely guided the plane to an alternative landing location in Syracuse, N.Y., preventing a disastrous outcome. Read more . Watch save .
"What a great day for NATCA, ZBW, Jeff, Neil, Mike, and all air traffic controllers," ZBW FacRep Fred Romani said (pictured left with Senator Shaheen). "Honor, pride, professionalism and accomplishment was the theme for Thursday afternoon. For Jeff, Neil, and Mike to not only be recipients of the highest award given to air traffic controllers, but to be recognized by Senator Shaheen and the state of New Hampshire was amazing. Anytime controllers get to talk about what we do, day in and day out, and share with such esteemed guests such as Senator Shaheen and her staff, it's a great day.
"The Senator and her staff were all such a joy to work with. They were all so appreciative of how accommodating and professional we are as controllers. What a great honor it was to represent not only ZBW NATCA local, Jeff, Neil, and Mike, but for a moment, be the face of this great Union and all its members. The professionalism of all involved was above and beyond the call of duty. The personal pride I feel is difficult to put into words. So proud of our Union, its members, our profession, and the great men and woman that keep the skies safe each and every day."

On Jan. 14, Daytona Beach ATCT (DAB) members Richard Smith and Rene Mieschke noticed an airport fire truck attempting to cross a runway with an aircraft departing.
The vehicle was performing routine driving training and had requested to reposition from the fire station to the southeast ramp. Smith, in the ground control position, provided instructions for the vehicle to proceed and hold short of Runway 7R.
All vehicles and aircraft operating on the airfield must receive specific instructions to cross a runway. There is a buffer zone between the hold short line (yellow lines painted on the taxiway) and the edge of the runway (designated by a white line). The vehicle read back the instructions and, after proceeding as instructed, was observed holding short of Runway 7R. However, between the time of that transmission and Smith's communication with an aircraft, the vehicle began to move forward, crossing the hold short line and into the runway safety area. Being aware and engaged in the operation, Smith gave immediate instruction to the vehicle to stop, and the vehicle did, well short of the runway edge line. While this runway incursion was taking place, there was another aircraft utilizing Runway 7R for traffic pattern work. This aircraft had just touched down on Runway 7R, executing a touch-and-go to depart again.
Mieschke, the local 2 controller, recognized what had happened with the vehicle and immediately instructed the aircraft to stop. Mieschke's awareness of the movement of vehicles and aircraft on the airfield was key in being able to quickly issue instructions and safely stop the aircraft well short of the intersection with the vehicle.
The awareness and quick actions of both controllers prevented a significant and potentially serious event from occurring.
"This was a great example of the tower team working exactly as they should," said DAB FacRep Mike Driscoll. "The ground controller immediately recognized the situation and acted. The controller-in-charge jumped into action and told the local controller to stop the departing aircraft. This situation highlights the professionalism and skill of the controllers here and is another example of why our airspace is the safest in the world."

South Florida Members Welcome in the Aviation Traffic for Super Bowl LIV
NATCA-represented air traffic controllers, traffic management coordinators, and staff specialists in South Florida worked heavy traffic levels not seen in many years for one of the biggest challenges of their careers -- safely and efficiently handling air traffic for Super Bowl LIV.
Both the week prior to the Feb. 2 game in Miami Gardens, Fla., and in the days following, the NATCA team performed as well in the clutch as Super Bowl MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes of the victorious Kansas City Chiefs.
"The members collaborated with multiple entities and have been the professionals that we have come to expect," said NATCA Southern Regional Vice President (RVP) Jim Marinitti. "I am incredibly proud of their work ethic and showing how big things can be accomplished when we work together."
Added NATCA Southern Alternate RVP Jason Arnold, "The South Florida and especially Miami-area FacReps have been integral in leading their facilities to successfully handle this event."
The teamwork that was on display just didn't happen overnight.
"For the past four months we've been working to optimize our operations together," Miami Center (ZMA) FacRep Tom Flanary said. "Every facility in South Florida, everybody was in the loop. It became a natural thing to have a weekly teleconference, and that lent itself to a more collaborative group, so if they needed something or we needed something, we could all be more responsive."
The weekly teleconferences included all of the South Florida facilities, including Federal Contract Towers (FCTs), Fort Myers ATCT (RSW) and Tampa ATCT (TPA). Miami leadership included TPA in anticipation of Tampa hosting Super Bowl LV in 2021. Many pilots chose to fly into RSW and drive to Miami to avoid the flight restrictions that are necessary for an event of this magnitude.
"I applaud MIA and the surrounding facilities for thinking outside the box to ensure that all South Florida facilities knew and understood the procedures that would impact the Super Bowl traffic," Arnold said.
ZMA saw an increase in operations the week leading up to the Super Bowl and three to four days afterwards.
"We got together and made it happen," said Flanary. "We did something totally different for this event than we've done previously. Our new processes helped us with clearing airplanes faster on a more standardized flow."
Miami ATCT (MIA) FacRep Narciso Torres attributed the successful operation to the collaboration among all the facilities and entities involved, and said that Monday, Feb. 3, was MIA's busiest IFR operation day since 2007. MIA predicted that more than 4,500 operations would be handled that day.
"Success was achieved through the great support from our adjacent facilities, and of course through collaboration with the Agency and our industry partners," Torres said. "A lot of outreach was also done to the users to include flight schools and other entities."
"We didn't have a single VFR pop-up request, and that is really unheard of for these types of events," Flanary said. "The reason behind that was that all the towers were on board with the plan and they all understood what we needed."
Opa Locka FCT (OPF) FacRep Brian Wells said, "We had all the private jets coming to our airport, over 500 planes. That's at least a 20 percent increase in IFR traffic. We had to close every taxiway and one runway for overflow parking. On the Monday after the Super Bowl, we had 433 arrivals and departures, mostly departures. And we successfully managed all this traffic with four certified controllers, three trainees, and one manager.
"It was a challenge, but it was easy thanks to our brothers and sisters at Miami TRACON," Wells said. "Once we got clearance for auto-releases, we were able to get our 433 departures out on Monday a lot faster."
Flanary said ZMA had planned for more traffic on Sunday night during the midnight shift than ended up happening, so the facility was really inundated with traffic on Monday.
"The flow was really good. It was considerable all day Monday and again on Tuesday," Flanary said. "We moved some airplanes, that's for sure."
"It was the epitome of teamwork and collaboration," Marinitti said. "I was incredibly impressed by how so many different entities came together to make things appear seamless. Our workforce should be proud."
Congratulations to all the aviation safety professionals who did a tremendous job managing increased operations before, during, and after the Super Bowl in Miami Gardens, Fla. The video above shows a replay of traffic from halftime at the game through Monday afternoon the following day.
ZID is Recognized for CPDLC Contributions
Members at Indianapolis Center (ZID) were recognized for their contributions to the National Airspace System (NAS) as a keysite for Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC). CPDLC is a two-way data-link system by which controllers can transmit non-urgent strategic messages to an aircraft as an alternative to voice communications. The message is displayed on a flight deck visual display.
FAA Deputy Vice President for Air Traffic Services Brian Throop, CSA Director Frank McIntosh, ZID District Manager Dale McNeal, and NATCA Great Lakes Alternate Regional Vice President and ZID FacRep Marc Schneider were on hand to present the awards to the members of ZID.
"The teamwork and flexibility displayed by the controllers at ZID was nothing short of inspiring," Schneider said. "ZID NATCA delivered on time, even in the aftermath of the longest federal shutdown in U.S. history. CPDLC is an amazing tool and once all aircraft are equipped and trained, it will change the face of our profession forever."
NATCA Leadership Meets with Members in Puerto Rico
During the last week of January, NATCA President Paul Rinaldi, Executive Vice President Trish Gilbert, and NATCA Regional Vice Presidents (RVPs) gathered in San Juan, Puerto Rico for the first National Executive Board (NEB) meeting of 2020.
The gathering of NATCA leadership in San Juan presented an opportunity for the local facilities, most notably the San Juan CERAP (ZSU) and San Juan ATCT (SJU) membership, to participate in a solidarity event. A meet and greet dinner was hosted at the II Nuovo Mercato at the Mall of San Juan. "In true NATCA fashion, members from the various locals were able to introduce themselves, ask questions of the leadership, and make lasting connections," said ZSU FacRep Woody Camp.
NATCA Hosts FAA Academy Meet and Greet
NATCA hosted its first meet and greet of 2020 for more than 50 trainees at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City. Addressing attendees were NATCA President Paul Rinaldi, Northwest Mountain Regional Vice President (RVP) Alex Navarro III, Southwest RVP Andrew LeBovidge, National Training Representative Jamaal Haltom (Las Vegas ATCT, LAS), Union Synergy Committee Chair Maurice Franklin (Potomac TRACON, PCT), Indianapolis Center (ZID) controller Jeff Wonser, National Professional Standards Committee Co-Chair Josh Cooper (Southern California TRACON, SCT), and Reloaded Committee Representative Kristi Perigo (Kansas City Center, ZKC). The NATCA members gave the trainees suggestions about how to be successful at the Academy and what to do when they arrive at their first facilities. They talked about how our Union will be there to help them throughout their careers. After the program ended, the NATCA members had the opportunity to speak to the attendees and answer lots of questions.
Central Florida Members Host Solidarity Event
Central Florida members gathered for solidarity and golf at Drive Shack in Orlando, organized by Central Florida TRACON (F11) FacRep Ken Scheele. Members from F11, Orlando ATCT (MCO), Daytona Beach ATCT (DAB), Orlando Executive ATCT (ORL), and St. Petersburg/Clearwater ATCT (PIE) were joined by Southern Regional Vice President (RVP) Jim Marinitti, Southern Alternate RVP Jason Arnold, and Alaskan RVP Clint Lancaster.
"It was the height of union brotherhood and sisterhood, and Central Florida was well represented," Marinitti said. "We are bringing the entire NATCA family together -- spouses, kids, moms, and dads. This is how we grow as one cohesive union. It's the families who give the biggest sacrifice and we are eternally grateful to them for allowing us to borrow their husband or wife in service to NATCA."
NATCA Members Attend GFL Winter Championship
NATCA members joined air traffic controllers (ATCs) from across the world in Laax, Switzerland, for the 45th annual Golden Flight Level ( GFL) Winter Championship for ATC personnel. GFL was founded in 1976 and has taken place annually in many beautiful ski resorts. This year in Laax, from Jan. 26 through Feb. 2, was no different. The event brought 43 teams from 28 countries. Team USA enjoyed its largest participation to date and included members from Boston, Dallas, Washington, Denver, Houston, Kansas City, Miami, Salt Lake City, Sarasota, Fla., and Seattle. Besides competitions in skiing and snowboarding during the day, each evening presented opportunities to get together with foreign colleagues and promote the spirit of solidarity and GFL.

Having stayed with Chloe at her CREER NGO, I had a fantastic time and learnt lots about them and their exciting plans for a new building.
An Ivorian lady called Francine works at the centre and keeps the place ticking over by helping the resident children. Francine cooks for them and she very kindly showed me an Anglo-Ivorian dish called Eggy Yam. For UK blog readers: think Eggy Bread but with yam.
Abengourou taxis were a whole new experience for me. The taxis are generally old and some (majority!) are unkept. Ironically, they have small cars as taxis, such as the Peugeot 205! They are powered by gas and the fuel tank is in the boot. Some of the taxis reeked of gas as they had just filled up, which was really unnerving at times. Here's a taxi with spare gas bottles in the boot.
We enjoyed a few beers around the local bars in town, which are called Maquis. Acheke is an Ivorian dish consisting of ground Cassava. Super tasty and healthy too. It's the white dish in this photo. After cleaning your hands (!), the best way to eat is rolling small balls in the palms of your hands.
Chloe took me to one of her favourite Maquis that was well sheltered from the sun by the palm trees.
I'm up for trying new things and when bush meat was on the menu, I jumped at the chance. The bush meat was Agouti, which is some form of rodent. Very tasty and difficult to describe the flavour. After eating, I saw two delivered to the restaurant. I googled it after eating to Then googled it to discover there are concerns about Agouti being a carrier or Ebola. Cote d'Ivoire is Ebola free. Here's a photo of the skull!
Another Cassava dish is foutou banane. This is plaintain in a very stick slump that is tasty and very filling. See white dish in photo.
Feeling whoozy after beers. Most strange.
Chloe had another visitor arrive whilst I was there. A Filipino Australian lady called Leela who lives in Ghana and runs Leela's Love Foundation. This was the first time someone said I looked like Ned Kelly!. She also helped pull water from the well!
Chloe is a very thoughtful person who passed on advice about malaria that is different to what I received in the UK but invaluable because of the local knowledge and experience. She very kindly gifted some spare general medicines useful for travel.
Saying goodbye was tough as they had been so kind and hospitable to me during my stay. I wish everyone at CREER all the very best for the future!

Ecobank Academy works to enhance Africa's health systems through financial and leadership training

Ecobank Academy works to enhance Africa's health systems through financial and leadership trainings (1)
LOME, Togo, November 6, 2018/ -- Ecobank Academy, a corporate university of the leading independent pan-African banking group in collaboration with Ecobank Foundation, has launched an innovative development programme aimed at improving Africa's health systems through rigorous financial management, effective leadership development and sound implementation capabilities.
The programme was co-designed by Ecobank Academy and The Global Fund with support from leading organisations in financial management, leadership and execution. The Honorable Minister of Health of Togo, Moustafa Mijiyawa; Head of Grant Management Division, Mark Eddinton for The Global Fund; and Amin Manekia, Ecobank's Group Executive for Corporate & Investment Banking, inaugurated the programme.
Speaking at the opening on behalf of Ecobank's Group CEO, Mr. Manekia said: "Ecobank from its inception, has embraced a commitment to enhance economic development across Africa. Ecobank has not only become a world-class pan-African institution, it is also a torchbearer for a new Africa. The bank has become part of the mainstream banking culture in 36 African countries and is fully supportive of organisations that work continuously to improve the socio-economic transformation of our communities alongside governments and the private sector."
The curriculum seeks to expand the skills of grant implementers and includes modules on leadership, strategy, knowledge management and sharing of best practices. At the heart of this training is the desire to help implementing partners play their part in driving long-lasting impact in the communities they serve. They are not only accountable for the grants they are implementing, they are also at the forefront of the mission to end HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis as epidemics and build resilient and strong health systems. Ecobank's vision is to ensure that access to knowledge will not limit an organisation's ability to deliver on its mission.
On behalf of their teams, Simon Rey, Ecobank Group Head for Ecobank Academy, Talent and Organisational Development and Carl Manlan, Chief Operating Officer for Ecobank Foundation jointly commented: "We fundamentally believe that it is in all our interest to build a knowledgeable pool of practitioners that can become leaders in their fields. This training is organised because we believe that an ecosystem of finance managers in the development sector who are well trained and equipped to save lives will stretch every CFA Franc, Dollar or Euro that are disbursed for the purpose."
Creating the infrastructure to transform finance managers into leaders of change is the way forward. Improving access to knowledge and learning opportunities will propel implementing partners to manage funds for even greater results for communities.

Our 2013 investiture in the magnificent setting of Rochester Cathedral was one of the highlights of the Order's year. It was a time for celebration – as we welcomed new members formally to our ranks – followed by an extremely lengthy lunch!
But there is a serious side to the work we do, and this year we were aptly reminded of the important contribution we can make in the sermon given to our Investiture by our Spiritual Protector, Canon Andrew White. Andrew had travelled from Baghdad especially to be with us, despite the ongoing upsurge in violence in Iraq.
This is the background that makes our work so important and why we are proud to contribute to supporting those manning the front lines of religious freedom.
We support the work of Canon Andrew White and St. George's, Baghdad.

Q: How to Know When Service/App is Swiped Away I have an app that binds a service which saves data to the phone's file manager at various times during the application's life cycle (the app is in the background while it's doing this). If something happens to invalidate the data, the data should be discarded once the service completes. (Note that it does do so successfully as long as the service's life cycle is uninterrupted). However, if I swipe away the app while the service is running, the data is not discarded.
The issue is that the activity's onDestroy() method is never called, while onStop() has already occurred because the app is in the background.
Furthermore, the service's onTaskRemoved() is never called (possibly because it's a bound service? Yes, I put android:stopWithTask="false" in the service's declaration in the manifest), nor is onUnbind() or onTrimMemory() when the app is swiped away. The service and app just kind of end.
How can I know that the service/app is being killed in order to discard data before that happens?

Hello, my name is Jacob ... Jacob Junior! I live in New York and am unemployed, I live in a corner house with only a small bathroom, a room without a TV and no sofa and a kitchen! In this house live me and my dog, the Puppy! I came to stop this winter after my father passed away and my brother took all his inheritance! Lucas is a disgrace ... If it were not for him I was riding the money and traveling the whole world in a private jet! That would be a good life!
Mine was a born explorer! When I was younger he used to leave me with my great-aunt and say to her .. "Take care of him like a diamond!"
I really miss my father! He died when he went to a very tall building in Shanghai! There would be a negotiation of museum artifacts and my father refused to hand over his cord, so with the greatest coldness they threw him from the top of the building and he ended up crashing into a car passing by on the street! I was about seven years old!

Kazimierz Moszyński i Józef Obrębski: nauczyciel i uczeń

KAZIMIERZ MOSZYŃSKI AND JÓZEF OBRĘBSKI: TEACHER AND STUDENT
The article, based on archival sources, discusses the relations between Józef Obrębski and his first teacher, Kazimierz Moszyński. The author presents facts which describe their contacts in 1926-1936 and shows how Obrębski, who was considered Moszyński's most able student, learnt study and research methods, the skills and tools of a field ethnographer, the foundations of ethnological thinking and intellectual freedom. Obrębski studied ethnography and ethnology in 1925-1929 at the School of Slavonic Studies of the Jagiellonian University. While a student of Moszyński, he was also his assistant who contributed to editorial work and who helped collect field materials. In 1927-1934 the teacher and his student explored the Balkans. In 1930 Obrębski was awarded his master's degree on the basis of the thesis entitled Rolnictwo ludowe wschodniej części półwyspu Bałkańskiego [Folk agriculture in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula]. Some of Obrębski's materials were subsequently included in the first volume of Moszyński's Kultura ludowa Słowian [Folk culture of Slavs]. In 1930 Obrębski went to London where he was a student of Bronisław Malinowski at the London School of Economics; in January 1934 he was awarded his doctoral degree in social anthropology. He would not have been granted the scholarship to study in London had it not been for the efforts made by Moszyński – records reveal that Moszyński highly valued Obrębski and greatly helped him to pursue his scholarly career. Obrębski, in turn, although with time he became more reserved about Moszyński's scientific position, never stopped to respect his master. In his later works, mainly in ethnosociological studies of the Polesie region, he drew from the achievements and inspirations of his former teacher. His subsequent scientific career developed and completed what he learnt from Moszyński.

115th Congress Made Small Progress in Cyber Legislation
In the 115th Congress, a new study found that 226 cybersecurity-focused bills were introduced which was an increase compared to past sessions, but only 10 had been signed into law. By comparison, the 114th Congress only introduced 22 cybersecurity bills.
Third Way, the think tank behind the study, found that the majority of bills introduced by the last Congress were focused on protecting government infrastructure. Seventy-one of the 226 bills introduced were geared towards improving the government's cyber infrastructure, including the SECURE Act and the NASA Transition Authorization Act.
According to School House Rocks, it takes more than one chamber of Congress to pass a bill. The 115th Congress saw 42 bills passed in the House that did not receive a Senate vote and the Senate in turn passed six bills that did not receive a House vote. Despite the differences in House and Senate bill numbers, the study found a reason for hope in future cybersecurity bills with 129 introduced bills receiving bipartisan co-sponsorship in either the House or Senate.
"On the side of 'hope,' more than half of the bills introduced were bipartisan, including every bill that eventually became law," Ishan Mehta, a policy adviser for the Third Way's National Security Program, wrote.
The study also found that only 31 of the 226 bills introduced and just two of the ten that were signed into law, took aim at "imposing consequences on human actors behind cyberattacks."


In some cases, fumigation work will be the most linear, effective way of treating a pest problem of great acuity.
Microbial hotspots—problem areas or equipment that chronically harbor microbes—are often to blame when a food safety or food quality issue arises in a processing plant. That's why it's important for plant managers to address chronic contamination.
Proper facility and equipment design is a preventive measure that can help reduce the risk of food safety issues.


Music groups, singing and fun for babies, toddlers and pre-school children with their parents and carers in Kings Hill & Malling!
I'm Helen and I run Musical Bumps classes in the Kings Hill and Malling area.
Hello, I'm Helen and I am excited to be delivering Musical Bumps classes in Kings Hill! As a child, I learnt to play the piano and was a member of the school madrigal choir. My interest in music was reignited when I joined Musical Bumps classes as a parent where I enjoyed learning new songs and made new friends. I also bonded well with the teacher so when, in September 2012, she informed me of the chance to become a teacher myself, I snapped up the opportunity to begin teaching Musical Bumps to children at my local nursery. Since then I have taught many classes all over Kent but am thrilled to now have my own Musical Bumps business.

American Fiber Green Products Inc., Nears Deal on Florida Joint Venture
TAMPA, FL, Mar 26, 2012 American Fiber Green Products, Inc. (OTCBB:AFBG) (pinksheets:AFBG) today announced that negotiations have advanced on a possible joint venture operation with Florida partners to facilitate the recycling of abandoned and salvage boats from Florida rivers and tributaries, as well as the Gulf of Mexico.
Ken McCleave, Chairman of American Fiber Green Products, Inc. Board of Directors, noted that in excess of 100 acres of land have been identified in West Central Florida to accommodate a fiberglass boat recycling operation. The property's owner has agreed to make the property available in conjunction with a third entity equipped with barges and other equipment required to raise the Coast Guard estimated 9000 boats that lie in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Florida, like many other states, struggles with the number of boats left abandoned both in the waterways and on land. Our ability to process fiberglass and recycle to new marketable products will be the catalyst to a successful business venture."
It is anticipated that a boat recycling depot can be operating in the next 90 to 120 days. Many states have funds earmarked specifically for abandoned boat programs.
Company President, Daniel Hefner, offered, "In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other storms, our coastal states have been littered with thousands of boats. In the cleanup after the storm, salvagers stripped boats of their valuable electronics and metals, leaving the fiberglass shells behind as eyesores to the landscape and hazards in the shallow waterways. Insurance companies paid owners for their losses and have continued to pay countless claims for boats damaged as they strike obstructions just under the surface. The Florida Keys offer a particularly vivid picture of the problem as you view the numerous masts protruding from the water. We will offer a pickup service as well as an owner drop off option. Fees will be derived from all services offered. We expect to be able to replicate this operation in multiple states in conjunction with other fiberglass manufacturing trim disposal."
Hefner stated that the partners are so sure of success that plans are being made to acquire up to an additional 300 acres to accommodate the recycling initiative.

U.S. Shutdown Disrupts NSA Transparency Case, Review Groups
Google, Facebook and Yahoo are waging a legal battle over NSA transparency, but DOJ lawyers can't work on the case during the shutdown
By Sam Gustin Oct. 10, 2013
NSA / Reuters
The National Security Agency headquarters in Fort Meade, Md.
The U.S. government shutdown has closed large portions of the federal apparatus and forced hundreds of thousands of workers to stay home. Another consequence of the shutdown? A high-profile legal battle over transparency between the largest Internet companies in the U.S. and the federal government has come to a standstill, because Justice Department lawyers assigned to the case are prohibited from working. Meanwhile, two ostensibly independent government investigations into the National Security Agency's surveillance programs have also been disrupted.
The five-member Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, which was set up in the wake of blockbuster revelations supplied by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, has had its staff furloughed, according to a report in Politico. Another federal oversight group, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, had to postpone a key hearing because "a significant number of witnesses" were unable to appear because of the shutdown, Politico reported.
In the transparency case, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have filed briefs with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for permission to disclose statistics about the nature and scope of government requests made under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The Justice Department has formally opposed their request. The tech companies had been facing a deadline of Oct. 21 to respond, but that was before the government shutdown.
(MORE: Tech Titans Poised for Showdown With Justice Department Over NSA)
Earlier this week, in an unusual move, the tech companies and the Justice Department filed a joint motion with the FISC asking for a delay in the case. "Absent an appropriation, Department of Justice attorneys and employees are prohibited from continuing to work, even on a voluntary basis, except in very limited circumstances, including 'emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property,'" according to the brief. During the shutdown, Justice Department lawyers are prohibited from discussing a key request from the tech companies about whether their lawyers can access classified information contained in the government's brief.
This week, the FISC granted the motion for a delay in the proceedings, as a result of the government shutdown. The court did not specify a new deadline for the tech firms' response brief. In a separate order, the FISC also directed the government to declassify a FISC court opinion containing "analysis by this Court evaluating the meaning, scope, and/or constitutionality" of Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, one of the statutes that authorizes the NSA surveillance programs. The FISC ordered the government to submit a proposed timetable for completing the declassification review and any proposed redactions within seven days of the shutdown's conclusion.
The Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies was not required to stop working during the shutdown, but one of its members — former CIA deputy director Michael Morrell — declined to participate. "I simply thought that it was inappropriate for our group to continue working while the vast majority of the men and women of the intelligence community are being forced to remain off the job," Morell told Politico. "While the work we're doing is important, it is no more important than — and quite frankly a lot less important — than a lot of the work being left undone by the government shutdown, both in the intelligence community and outside the intelligence community."
There is no indication that the NSA has ceased conducting surveillance operations as a result of the government shutdown. However, the NSA's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office — which is responsible for responding to requests from journalists and others — has been closed. In a statement posted on its website, the NSA said that requests under FOIA or the Privacy Act, "will not be addressed until the office reopens."
Correction 10/11: An earlier version of this story linked to a FISC order in the ACLU case (Docket No. Misc. 13-02). The FISC's order granting a stay of the tech companies' transparency case can be found here.


There's nothing better than coming home at the end of a long day and snuggling up in a warm blanket. But did you know that electric blankets can pose a significant hazard? It's true. Experts estimate that electric blankets are responsible for an average of 5,000 house fires annually.
You may think you know the best way to care for it, but it's best to read your electric blanket's product label.
It's also a good idea to check to see if a national testing laboratory has certified your blanket. If you cut off your tag to avoid unwanted scratchiness, don't worry. You can also look up your blanket at the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
You should never put anything on top of your electric blanket (this includes sitting on top of it). When this happens, it traps heat and creates an ignition risk.
For this reason, electric blankets should always flat while in use. Bunching of the fabric creates a similar situation and subsequent ignition risk.
We get it. Cords can be unsightly and ruin all of the hard work you've put into decorating your space. However, running wires beneath your mattress or behind your bed frame creates friction and traps excess heat.
As tempting as it may be to fall asleep cuddled up in the blanket's warmth, it increases the risk of overheating the wires within. When your electric blanket isn't in use, turn it off.
If you often find yourself lulled to sleep despite your best efforts, consider a blanket with an automatic shut-off. You get all of the comforts with far less responsibility!
Electric blankets aren't a cheap purchase. So when you notice a little discoloration around the wires or twists within the blanket, you may not want to toss it. But these small changes are indicative of a problem that you shouldn't ignore. Reduce your risk and replace it for a new one.
Did these tips leave you a little apprehensive? You can skip electric blankets all together when your heating system is at its best. Call Heating Specialties to set up a service appointment today. (866) 923-2653.

Cannabis news briefs: Illinois gov. introduces recreational-use proposal, North Dakota decriminalizes, AGs goad Congress on banking bill, and much more
If all falls into place, Illinois will enter June as the 11th U.S. recreational-use state. That is the vision of new democratic governor, J.B. Pritzker, who, along with two other key Chicago area legislators (Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy, both Democrats) deliberately held-off debate on RMJ until the end of the Illinois session, slated for May 31.
So far only a handful of House members have expressed opposition to the bill. Pulling from the best ideas of many bills across the U.S., the Steans-Cassidy measure will allow legal possession of 30 grams of flower and 5 grams of concentrates (or 500 mg of THC-infused products).
The bill proposes a 10 percent tax for products under 35 percent THC, with a 25 percent tax on products exceeding 36 percent. Growers will pay a 7 percent gross receipts tax.
[How cannabis advocates are turning bad science into the next anti-vaccination movement]
Projecting $170 million in licensing fees the first year, tax proceeds are earmarked for substance abuse and mental health programs, law enforcement, and the state's general fund.
Current MMJ licensees will have first priority on applications, and local cities can opt out of the program altogether.
Interestingly, the proposal would preclude large-scale commercial growers and instead focus on small "craft" growers. The move is designed to create thousands of new entrepreneurs in the state, with an emphasis on minorities and communities hardest hit by prohibition and the so-called War On Drugs.
The proposal would create a new position for a cannabis regulation oversight officer who will be responsible for ongoing development of rules, as well as coordinating the efforts of the departments of agriculture, revenue, financial, and professional regulation, state police, public health, commerce and economic opportunity, and human services as they pertain to legal marijuana.
Recreational sales could begin on January 1, 2020.
Read more on this story.
AGs goad Congress on banking legislation
Attorney Generals from 33 states wrote a letter to Congress to urge passage of the cannabis banking legislation, The SAFE Banking Act, which is pending a U.S. House floor vote.
The letter argued that over $8 billion in legal, annual cash is unsafely being driven around by operators, inviting crime, and cutting back on adequate oversight against possible money laundering.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has signed a bill into law making his state the 25th in the nation to eliminate the threat of jail time for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
HB 1050 reclassifies possession of up to a half ounce of marijuana by adults 21 and older as an infraction punishable by no jail time and a maximum fine of $1,000. Previously, it was a misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail.
[Texas decriminalization bill gets gutted, but penalties for possession remain lowered]
The bill instructs the Legislative Assembly to "consider studying the implications of the potential adoption of adult use for North Dakota."
A ballot issue for RMJ passage failed in a Nov. 2016 vote. North Dakota also expanded its MMJ program this month and approved CBD processing from state-grown hemp.
GW Pharmaceuticals reports sales of $39.4 million
GW Pharmaceuticals has reported sales of $39.2 million in the first quarter — a six-fold increase over its prior quarter which reported sales of $6 million.
GW's Epidiolex drug helped the company lower its operating losses for the quarter to $59 million, down from the prior $72 million, suffered at the end of 2018.
Analysts were bullish that GW would not suffer the volatility visited upon many pharma companies. "This is a marijuana company that does pharmaceuticals, not the other way around. Therefore, these shares don't have the same catalysts" as pharma, wrote analysts Investor Place.
Acreage Holdings investors announce plans to vote against Canopy deal
San Francisco-based investment manager Marcato Capital Management LP penned an open letter to the Canopy Growth board on Monday deriding a potential merger pending U.S. legalization. In the letter, Marcato called the deal "a value-destructive transaction and not in the best interests of shareholders," and says his company plans to vote against the deal.
The firm owns 575,000 shares of Acreage, or just about 2.7 percent of the outstanding subordinate voting shares. According to the statement, the $3.4 billion price tag is far lower than what Marcato believes Acreage could command based on the present value of their future cash flows alone.

New Zealand's Referendum on the legalization of recreational cannabis use
New Zealand is joining the list of nations moving towards the end of prohibition for marijuana. On May 7, Justice Minister Andrew Little announced details on plans to legalize and regulate marijuana in New Zealand. The minority government coalition has agreed to the foundational elements of a referendum which would allow New Zealander adults 20 years and older to use, own, sell, and cultivate cannabis.
The referendum will appear on New Zealand's 2020 ballot.

After raising more than $400 million to grow their vape-category, leading products, PAX CEO Bharat Vasan threw some shade on CBD.
"The space feels overhyped right now because it's the only federal form," said Vasan, speaking at a San Francisco seminar last week. Vasan joined Pax Labs nearly a year ago after Juul (the e-cigarette branch of Pax Labs) was spun out from the parent company. Vasan added, "I think one of the open questions with hemp-based CBD is what's the promise? For those who say that maybe this will get rolled back, it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle at this point."

I fell in love with this dress the moment I tried it on. It was the very first one i tried on and after shopping around I went back and brought this dress.
The tag size is 12 and the dress was only taken in slightly. The v-neckline was too deep for me so I added some sheer fabric to make it a little more conservative. Cups were also added for comfort. I am only 5'2 so a lot of material had to be removed from the bottom. I am wearing 2 inch heals in the photo.
The dress has not been cleaned since our November 2014 wedding. The dress contains some small beading. A handful of the beads are loose and might require tightening. The dress also has a train that cannot be seen in these photos (I had it bustled for most of the reception). I can provide additional photos at the buyers request.

In a waltz with the wind.
Long before there was us.
A wedding speech. You toasted the bride and groom. Everyone was left speechless, you spoke with such clarity, intertwining the personalties of the two, humorous anecdotes and a touch of wisdom at the end. While everyone listened intently, with every word something in me gasped for air. One of the guests even came up to me and said that she did not realise that you are a very deep person.
I parallel it with your wedding speech. A long list of thank you's and a quick I love you at the end. Full stop. Nothing more.

HALMD uses CMake to generate its make files, which is similar to the more commonly used Autotools suite recognisable by the configure script accompanying a software package, but much faster and much easier to develop with.
With cmake, out-of-tree compilation is preferred, so we generate the compilation or build tree in a separate directory. This allows one to have multiple builds of the same software at the same time, for example a release build with aggressive optimisation and a debug build including debugging symbols. Note that the build directory may be a subdirectory in the source tree.
This will detect all necessary software, and then generate the make files. If third-party packages are not found in standard locations, make sure to correctly set the environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, see Software prerequisites.
CMake ≤ 3.0 may have problems locating a CUDA host compiler (especially if you use nvcc.profile to specify a compiler directory). If you experience errors like "-m64: No such file or directory" when compiling cuda sources, the problem can be solved by manually setting the CMake variable CUDA_HOST_COMPILER to the full path of the desired host compiler. CMake ≥ 3.1 fixes this problem.
The problem does not occur for builds without GPU acceleration.
This instructs CMake to regenerate the build tree using the configuration from the previous run of CMake. Then compile with make as usual.
Parameters may be passed to cmake as environment variables or cache variables.
The options given here correspond to the default values.
Building with GCC ≥ 5.1 requires the macro definition _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0, which may be passed via the environment variable CXXFLAGS=-D …. For the background, see GCC Dual ABI.


The Burbank City Council is doing a public disservice by pulling millions in redevelopment money over to the city's coffers under the auspice of funding the proposed Lundigan Community Center.
Clearly, the council isn't even sold on the project, and let's not forget that the center wouldn't even be within a redevelopment zone — a fact not lost on former Mayor Anja Reinke when she absolved herself of the sham fund transfer.
Her colleague, Gary Bric, even acknowledged that the fund transfer — another apparent attempt to protect local money from possible raids by Sacramento lawmakers seeking to bridge a multibillion-dollar deficit — didn't necessarily mean the city would spend it on the Lundigan Community Center.
The City Council had no problem calling an earlier transfer of millions in redevelopment money more what it was: a unabashed shell game to hide redevelopment revenues from Sacramento. To tag this most recent transfer to a proposed community center sets up unfair expectations from the public.

Ramadi Falls to ISIS- Iraqi Forces Flee

Ramadi Falls to ISIS- Iraqi Forces Flee2015-05-182015-05-18https://news.unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/uncle-sams-misguided-children-logo.pngUncle Sam's Misguided Childrenhttps://news.unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/ramadi2.jpg200px200px
Ramadi was the scene of heavy fighting over the weekend, but the city has fallen to ISIS – Reuters Photo
Ramadi falls to ISIS:
Officially this morning, the Iraqi city of Ramadi has fallen under the control of ISIS. It is the biggest win for them since their capture of the city of Mosul in 2014. 'Elite' Iraqi forces abandoned their posts following a 3 day siege – and the US equipment provided to them- as ISIS crushed their attempt to retake the rest of the city.
The jihadists had raised their black flag over the government building earlier in the week.
Huge propaganda win
McClatchy wrote:
"Multiple security sources, none of whom agreed to be identified, speaking from both within the besieged Anbar Operations Center as well as with the units fleeing the city, described the fight for control of the capital of Iraq's largest province as essentially over after reinforcements sent on Saturday to retake the city were crushed by Islamic State fighters."
Hundreds of civilians and Iraqi troops were killed in the latest ISIS bid to take over the key Iraqi city. About 8,000 people fled the city in this latest attack. Sunni tribal leaders who had attempted to retake the city stated that the bodies of their fighters were "strewn in the streets."

When the Iraqis abandoned their stations, it left around 500 policemen and soldiers trapped and surrounded inside the operations center. ISIS overran that operations center and efforts to raise the people inside went unanswered.
It is a huge propaganda win for the Islamic State: not only did they manage win over the elite "Golden Brigade" but they captured 30 armored vehicles, rifles, and heavy machine guns.
Fluid situation
For the part of the U.S., airstrikes continued today, and American commanders stated they would continue to support the Iraqis in a push to retake the city. Anbar province was the scene of some of the Iraq War's bloodiest battles- Ramadi and Fallujah. A pentagon spokesperson described Ramadi as a "fluid and contested battlefield."
Iraqi Prime Minister ordered Iraqi forces not to abandon all their positions in Anbar Province, and also ordered Shiite militias to prepare to enter the heavily Sunni area. According to reports, there are Shi'ite militias already forming up not far from Ramadi, preparing to retake the city. U.S. officials are concerned that the move could spark even more bloodshed, as the hatred of Shi'ite Muslims runs deep in some places. But the victory by ISIS may just be enough to bridge that hatred at least temporarily.
"We welcome any group, including Shiite militias, to come and help us in liberating the city from the militants. What happened [Sunday] is a big loss caused by lack of good planning by the military." al-Gauoud, the Sunni tribal leader, to AP.
When asked if this meant the US would take a more active role in the retaking of key Iraqi cites, one 'senior US Military official' stated that "They have to want it more than we want it." The ISIS fighters that overran the city were a much smaller force than the Iraqis defending it.

My name is Ariella and I am 10 years old and in the fourth grade. I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma in February of this year after having a lot of pain in my leg, especially when dancing. I have been dancing for 6 years, dancing all styles but my favorite is tap. I had to miss a lot of dance class time because of the pain. Soon after the pain got really bad I had an MRI and they found a tumor in my right tibia. I had a lot of diagnostic tests and was told I had to stop dancing. The biopsy confirmed Ewing's Sarcoma which had not spread. I am on the competitive dance team and that meant no more dancing or competing this year. They scheduled me to have a hickman catheter placed and to start chemo but when they did the surgery to put in the catheter they punctured my lung and I had to have a chest tube, so chemo was delayed. My chemo schedule is every 2 weeks for either 2 days or 5 days and I just finished the first 3 months. In between chemo rounds I get a shot in my arm every day. It is called Neupogen. I'm about to have surgery to remove the tumor and repair the bone in my leg and will have an external fixator for 1 to 3 months. Once that is off I will be needing a plastic brace which I can take on and off. After my surgery I received another 6 months of chemo and finished my treatment in December. Because of my aggressive chemo schedule I am too immunocompromised to attend school so I have a tutor 3 days a week and have FaceTimed with my class. I am going to miss the beginning half of the fifth grade but hopefully will be back shortly after the new year. My least favorite thing about going through all of this is that I can not see my friends most of the time. The thing that helped me get through this are the child life specialists and all the great staff at the hospital and most of all, all the support.
Ariella finished treatment for Ewing's Sarcoma in December 2017 but scans in June showed she had relapsed to her lungs and back. She went through about 8 rounds of chemo (trying 2 different regimens) which didn't seem to work. Switching medicines and 24 rounds of SBRT radiation has stabilized her condition enough to have a bone marrow transplant (from her father) this month.


"Based upon Ray Bradbury's 'The Martian Chronicles' series of stories, this game puts you on the red planet as a nuclear war is brewing on earth."
"You are instructed to find an ancient relic hidden in the ancient martian city of Xi, which could mean earth's salvation. Also you must find out what happened to the other five persons that went looking for it before you, and keep yourself alive by collecting a series of crystals that power your suit.
You proceed through the game via Myst-like slideshows, and you have to solve a series of logic puzzles to advance through the game.

You're welcome, SwedeBear. I've got a bookshelf of nothing but Bradbury books, so his version of Mars is one place I've always wanted to go. I don't know if this game necessarily lives up to his fiction but it's something anyway.
