CT: Two Entertainment Co.s to Locate in Stamford, Create 450 Jobs Combined
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy announced that award-winning entertainment production group ITV America – the largest independent producer of non-scripted entertainment content in the United States – will be relocating a significant portion of its business operations to Stamford (the company will also maintain production and office staff in its New York and Los Angeles offices). Additionally, newly launched Wheelhouse Entertainment – founded by entrepreneur and media magnate Brent Montgomery – also will be using Stamford as one of its bases of operations.
Combined, the two entertainment companies plan to create approximately 450 jobs in Stamford across areas of finance and operations, production, and post-production, and more.
"Over the last several years, Connecticut has seen significant growth among media production companies, and we are pleased that ITV America and Wheelhouse have decided to establish operations in our state," Governor Malloy said. "Connecticut is home to more than 1,200 media-related businesses that employ over 16,000 people. These two nationally renowned production companies plan to create hundreds of good jobs for our state's residents, and we welcome them to our community."
"It's a time of great change and disruption in our industry, and as a leading creator of unscripted content, ITV America is focused on finding innovative ways to keep our business thriving while securing career opportunities for both current and future employees," ITV America CEO David George said. "Our proposed partnership with the State of Connecticut delivers on both fronts – we're delighted to have worked with the Governor's office on this plan, which allows us to service many of our current projects while also promoting growth at ITV America. We look forward to putting down roots in Stamford and to being a dynamic part of the community."
Wheelhouse's production arm Spoke Studios maintains a production partnership with ITV America.
"The cornerstone of entrepreneurship is investing in people whose ideas and hard work create opportunity – precisely what drove Wheelhouse Entertainment to partner with ITV America and Governor Malloy in this venture," Wheelhouse Entertainment CEO Brent Montgomery said. "My philosophy has always been to find great people and keep them, and building what we anticipate being one of the top production facilities on the East Coast is another way we aim to recruit and retain the first-class talent that ultimately produces the best programming. This is the first of many projects Wheelhouse and Spoke Studios look forward to with Stamford as we team to cultivate the city as a vibrant center for media and content production."
"I am excited about ITV's move to Stamford," Mayor David Martin said. "The city had numerous meetings with ITV to discuss why Stamford made sense for the production company and that 860 Canal Street was the right location for them. This move reflects a team approach between the state and the city in helping to relocate and establish companies in Connecticut. I am glad the state came through with the right incentive package, and my administration looks forward to helping ITV complete construction on the building and welcoming the new employees to Stamford as part of our expanding media family."
The Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) will support the project with a $6 million loan to ITV America and a $3 million loan to Wheelhouse Entertainment, with partial forgiveness based on jobs created. DECD funds will be used for the purchase of machinery and equipment and capital improvements. In addition, both companies are eligible for film/digital media production and infrastructure tax incentives.
"ITV America and Wheelhouse Entertainment will join a growing number of film and digital production companies that have relocated or expanded in Connecticut thanks to Governor Malloy's leadership," DECD Commissioner Catherine Smith said.

The Zeiss Distagon f/2 28mm ZF Lens; A Manual Focus Lens For Film And/Or Digital SLRs
Roger W. Hicks | Dec 01, 2008 | 0 comments
As soon as I heard about it, I wanted to try the f/2 28mm Zeiss ZF lens; ZF, for those unfamiliar with the current Zeiss line-up, is their superb line of Nikon F compatible manual focus lenses, as distinct from ZM (Leica M compatible) and ZV (classic Hasselblad compatible).
All of the ZF series are also available in ZK (Pentax K bayonet compatible) and a few, though apparently not...
Tamron's SP AF70-200mm F/2.8 Di LD (IF) Macro; A Digitally Optimized, Wide Aperture Pro-Grade Zoom With Close-Focusing Ability
Peter K. Burian | Nov 01, 2008 | 0 comments
Because of the increasing number of D-SLRs with full-frame sensors, Tamron is upgrading several of their multi-platform lenses to the Digitally Integrated standard. The most recent model, the 70-200mm f/2.8 Di, is optimized for D-SLRs regardless of the sensor size but also provides outstanding results with 35mm SLRs. This zoom has benefited from several improvements, including closer focusing...

Since the introduction of the newer E-3, Olympus has also unveiled three high-grade zooms, the first in the Zuiko Digital line with Supersonic Wave Drive (SWD) autofocus. Designed to provide the ultimate in AF performance, this trio offers wide apertures...

If you own and use an M-series Leica, a Zeiss Ikon, or a bayonet-mount Voigtländer Bessa, Leica's 16-18-21mm Tri-Elmar is so staggeringly desirable that it is almost easier to list the reasons for not buying one than to list its advantages—though these are easy enough to list, too. It is compact, sweet handling, sharp, contrasty, rangefinder-coupled, unbelievably convenient, and...
Tokina's AT-X 535 PRO DX; A Fast, Constant Aperture Zoom
Jack Neubart | Nov 01, 2008 | 0 comments
The mid-range zoom I started with when I bought my Nikon D300 was no speed demon, and I was hankering for an f/2.8 lens in the (effective) 70-200mm range. What first attracted me to the Tokina AT-X 535 PRO DX was the fast, constant maximum aperture, providing a bright view every step of the way. What's more, the barrel on this tele-zoom does not rotate when zoomed: all movement is entirely...

Created chiefly for the high-end Nikon D300 and D3, the new 24mm PC (Perspective Control) lens from Nikon can also be used on other Nikon D-SLR cameras, such as the relatively new D60 on which I tested it, albeit with some loss of full automation and functionality. Being a manual focus lens it can also mount on most Nikon film SLRs as well; being a PC lens it is unique in both...

Understatement almost always speaks louder than overstatement; or if not louder, then generally with more authority.

I developed a love for fisheyes way back when I was shooting film. In fact, when I took the digital route, the first new lens I bought for my brand-new Canon EOS 5D was a fisheye.
I figured, what better way to celebrate my purchase of a full-frame D-SLR than with a lens that could take full advantage of the larger sensor! So now, fast forward to the purchase of a...

If you ever want a unique point of view try a "fisheye" lens. Like looking through a door peephole (which in fact is a "fisheye" type) this order of lens sacrifices linear correction in favor of a very wide angle of view. Originally made for creating "full sky" images when pointed straight up, they had long ago been adopted by photographers for...

The Sigma APO 150-50mm lens is a moderately fast, super-telephoto zoom designed to work with both APS-C and full-frame DSLR cameras.

A 'Dark Knight Rises' actor has joined 'Joker' as Batman's dad
Meta-crossover madness!
Imagine this - an actor from one Batman film turning up in another Batman film (sort of) in a different continuity. Imagine it, and imagine how much it would blow your mind.
OK, fair, it might not be the type of thing to blow your mind, but still - weird innit? You see, Brett Cullen, who played 'Congressman' in The Dark Knight Rises is set to star in Joker, taking over the part that was originally set for Alec Baldwin - Bruce Wayne's dad, Thomas.
Baldwin had previously said of the part: "I'm sure there are 25 guys who can play that part," which we're sure makes Brett feel great, but hey-ho, maybe the man just loves Batman.
According to rumours, the character of Thomas Wayne was set to be a brash, cocky Donald Trump-like businessman (hence the call for Alec Baldwin to play him), but it's unclear as to whether they'll stick with that direction now he's no longer on board. Either way, Tom's a bit of an arse, so that trait will likely still remain.
The film has recently commenced filming, with Joaquin Phoenix in the central role, with director Todd Phillips (The Hangover - good omen) sharing the first image of him in 'costume' this week:
Joining Phoenix and now Cullen, are Marc Maron as a casting agent, Robert De Niro as a chat show host and Frances Conroy as The Joker's mum - a lovely cast we think you'll agree.
Anyway, the film's not out for ages - next October - so we've got ages to see if it'll actually be any good, or in fact, a colossal misstep like so many comic book movies before it!

THE TERRANOVAS
A War Family
by Valentine Cardinale
A close-knit Italian family struggles with war and terrorism over the course of four generations.
Anna and Arturo Terranova settle in a working-class neighborhood in Hell's Kitchen, eager to start their new life together. Arturo runs a small yet profitable grocery store in the neighborhood, while Anna runs the household and tends to their kids, Camille, Michael, Christopher and Christina. When tragedy strikes the youngest Terranova, it becomes the first in a series of setbacks confronting the family. Each incident is shadowed by war–in fact, Cardinale divides the story into six sections, each focused on a specific conflict: World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the first Gulf War, 9/11 and the second Gulf War. The lives of each family member inevitably become embroiled in each conflict–Camille's beau, Harry Slovich, enlists in the army and fights in the Korean War; Christopher marches for peace in San Francisco in 1968; Michael's son joins the air force; Camille's twin sons work in the World Trade Center; Michael's wife Jo becomes an anti-war activist; and Christopher's son-in-law is a firefighter in New York City. The premise that a single family could be enmeshed in so many wars initially strains credibility, but the author effectively traces the emotional turmoil wrought upon each successive generation. While Cardinale does touch upon the specifics of each war, the strength of the narrative lies in the well-drawn characters and their personal struggles with the sweeping cultural and historical changes surrounding them.
The wholesomeness of The Waltons meets the ethnic ethos of The Godfather and the cultural expansiveness of Forrest Gump.

Accordingly the leadership team will be doing our best to appoint a campaign manager and place some candidates in key positions in Scotland. Given our current financial situation we are looking at three, possibly four, candidates at the most but ideally I'd like to have six.
Any one of you interested in running, and realistically self funding(£500 deposit), should contact myself, Derek Scott or Stevie McNamara at the soonest possible opportunity. We only have a limited amount of time to register candidates. Probably three weeks at the most.
We desperately need financial backing if we want to make an impact on this.
Admittedly the timing is lousy for everyone but the PM herself. You'd almost think she done that deliberately. But it's still a great opportunity for us to get the message out there, so dig deep if you can please troops.

Geneticists have discovered a gene that helps explain how humans and apes diverged from their common ancestor around 6 million years ago.
Researchers have discovered a new gene they say helps explain how humans evolved from chimpanzees.
The gene, called miR-941, appears to have played a crucial role in human brain development and could shed light on how we learned to use tools and language, according to scientists.
A team at the University of Edinburgh compared it to 11 other species of mammals, including chimpanzees, gorillas, mice and rats.
The results, published in Nature Communications, showed that the gene is unique to humans.
The team believe it emerged between six and one million years ago, after humans evolved from apes.
Researchers said it is the first time a new gene carried by humans and not by apes has been shown to have a specific function in the human body.
Martin Taylor, who led the study at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, said: "As a species, humans are wonderfully inventive – we are socially and technologically evolving all the time.
"But this research shows that we are innovating at a genetic level too.
"This new molecule sprang from nowhere at a time when our species was undergoing dramatic changes: living longer, walking upright, learning how to use tools and how to communicate.
The gene is highly active in two areas of the brain, controlling decision-making and language abilities, with the study suggesting it could have a role in the advanced brain functions that make us human.

Migraine Diagnosis is generally based off your history and exam. Often, migraine headaches are precipitated by an aura. For many people, an aura is the first sign that a migraine is brewing. What's it like when you have an aura? Well a lot of people describe a focal area of blindness, increased sensitivity to light, sensitivity to smells and noise, seeing zigzagging bright light waves, nausea and occasionally numbness. When these symptoms precede a migraine, the migraine diagnosis is–migraine with aura. However, not all people with migraines suffer from auras. They are diagnosed with migraine without aura.
Chiropractic migraine diagnosis will also involve a clinical exam that will focus on your head and neck. Commonly, migraine sufferers will notice an increase in muscle tightness and tension in their face, neck and jaw. Additionally, the joints in the neck can be very restricted. With a chiropractic exam for migraine diagnosis, we notice that if we can reproduce your symptoms, we can generally help to reduce them.
Migraine diagnosis doesn't necessarily require imaging like MRI or CT or blood work. However, sometimes further testing is ordered to rule out other causes of your symptoms.

Hurom are striding forwards with juicer innovation, and the H-AI is the first ever self-feeding juicer to be released in the UK. The smart hopper design allows the H-AI to operate automatically, using a spinning blade to force ingredients down into the double winged augur. Therefore, the only manual operation required is filling the hopper with ingredients.
On top of that, the H-AI provides some other useful features in the form of a vertical pulp outlet and a 3-Degree juicing chamber tilt. These new features link well with Hurom's latest Alpha+ juicing technology to optimise the juicing process more than ever before.
The hopper design for the H-AI is one of a kind and allows this juicer to operate without manual aid. It functions through the use of a rotating blade in the centre of the hopper chamber, which feeds ingredients into the augur. The blade rotates at a balanced speed, allowing it to feed ingredients at an optimal rate while cutting them down as required.
The self-feeding design removes the common issues of clogging and overfeeding from the juicing process since manual interaction isn't required. Therefore, the parts and motor will suffer less wear over time and all juice produced will be guaranteed to have a high nutritional value.
The Alpha+ components found in the H-AI serve as upgrades from the original Alpha technology seen in the HZ and H-AA. They provide specific improvements to the juicing chamber, which now has an inbuilt hex connector that makes the assembly process much smoother. On top of that, the cog that controls the spinning brush and screen can also be removed in these components, making it easier to clean if pulp gets stuck in it. These are the only new features, but the Alpha+ technology is still capable of flawless performance. The augur rotates at a slow 43 RPM, and the spinning brush and screen can still turn separately at 17 RPM. Providing unbeatable yields and significantly less froth.
The self-feeding function of the H-AI allows it to provide a relaxed juicing experience, but that isn't the only beneficial change. The 3-Degree tilt of the juicing chamber makes it easy to get every drop of juice extracted into your glass, and it means that you no longer need to tip the whole juicer. Furthermore, the unique vertical pulp container design allows pulp from the H-AI to fall directly down from the juicing chamber. That allows pulp flow to be much more efficient, especially when used in combination with the pulp discharge control lever.

Sebastian Groh is bringing electricity to rural villages in Bangladesh, giving households the ability to buy and sell electricity through his energy trading platform.
Sebastian Groh is bringing electricity to rural villages in Bangladesh, giving households the ability to buy and sell electricity through his game-changing, peer-to-peer energy trading platform. His digital, decentralized, and decarbonized solution empowers people to take their energy needs into their own hands.
Sebastian Groh
Ashoka Fellow Since 2018
ME Solshare
Sebastian's New Idea: Sebastian created a new energy economy by bringing affordable solar electricity to people in Bangladesh, allowing them to buy and sell energy through self-functioning "nano-grids." By connecting solar home systems in peer-to-peer networks, people can now earn additional income by selling their surplus electricity; at the same time, new users gain access to electricity for the first time in their lives—without a large, centralized grid.
Known as "swarm electrification," each household must acquire a 'SOLbox,' which is a direct current, bi-directional power meter that enables peer-to-peer electricity trading, remote monitoring and mobile money payments. Households can choose to be a seller or buyer of the energy produced. The data is stored in the network and payments are processed through a mobile application via credit or debit. By connecting homes with solar systems to homes without electricity, the nanogrid can provide consistent energy for an entire village.
A first-of-its-kind, Sebastian's SOLshare grid concept has been replicated globally and can be applied in any under-electrified area with a minimum of 10 households. SOLshare is expanding its presence in Bangladesh and India and to the rest of Asia—home to the majority of the world's energy poor, with an estimated 700 million people without access to electricity.
Sebastian' s story appears in the 2018 edition of "Leading Social Entrepreneurs" which features a selection of just a few of the Ashoka Fellows recently brought into the largest global network of social entrepreneurs. The LSE presents some of the newest innovations by leading social entrepreneurs whose ideas are changing the way things are done all over the world.

Xbox's Phil Spencer Has "Always" Been Open to Banjo-Kazooie in Smash Bros.
Craig Snyder
Published on June 14, 2019 Craig Snyder
Home » News » Xbox's Phil Spencer Has "Always" Been Open to Banjo-Kazooie in Smash Bros.
As more information about Banjo-Kazooie in Supers Smash Bros. Ultimate comes out, we've learned that one of Nintendo's biggest announcements at E3 2019 came much easier than many expected.
Xbox head Phil Spencer recently revealed that the crossover between Microsoft-owned Banjo-Kazooie and Nintendo-owned Smash Bros. wasn't a tough decision to sign off on.
In an interview with Kotaku, Spencer stated the following about Rare's beloved set of protagonists appearing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
"Obviously, we're one of the biggest third-party publishers on Switch, so we have great relationships with their third-party team. And you've seen the ambition they've had with every character that's ever been in Smash, and even more. So, it was just kind of part of the partnership relationship we have with them."
"People have asked me on social [media]—I'm sure you've seen that—over many years: 'Would I welcome having Banjo in Smash?', and I've always been open to that."
Spencer went on to explain the long-term relationship between Microsoft and Nintendo, highlighting how Nintendo has allowed Rare games, such as the Donkey Kong Country series, to appear in Nintendo's digital catalog.
"The licensing relationships between the two companies, they're there and are kind of ongoing," he said.
A healthy relationship between Microsoft and Nintendo is a win-win for everyone—especially fans, as this leaves open the possibility of similar crossovers in the future.

NRM Right Policies make Uganda one of the Fastest Growing world Economies - Museveni
KABALE DISTRICT: President Yoweri Museveni who is also the NRM Presidential flag bearer kicked off his scientific campaign meeting in greater Kigezi sub-region with assurances to Ugandans that because of the NRM right policies, the country has been recognized as one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The President was on Saturday meeting leaders from the 4 districts of Kabale, Kisoro, Rubanda and Rukiga who commended the NRM government under his stewardship for the development programs extended to their area.
"The wisdom and policies of the NRM government have made Uganda one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Unity, Peace, a strong army and pro-private sector policies is what has made Uganda the 5th fastest growing economies in the world according to Bloomberg group," President Museveni said.
He added that it is the same environment that made one investor to describe our nation as a 3 P country that is Peaceful, Pleasant and Profitable.
According to a Bloomberg report, the economies of Ethiopia, Uganda, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana, Rwanda and Kenya withstood the economic impact of the pandemic so successfully that they were among the world's 10 fastest-growing in 2020. At least five of them are expected to remain in that elite growth club through 2022, according to forecasts by economists compiled by Bloomberg during the past three months. Two years ago, Africa included only three of the best performers and in 2015 it had four.
The President gave the delegates a brief political history of Uganda that had leaders who were only promoting identity instead of the common interests of the people. He said the NRM government stood for interest and needs of the people that is why many industrial parks have now been opened regionally to provide employment to Ugandans.
He said the same investors also help the government by paying taxes whose funds are used for infrastructure development and for solving other social needs of Ugandans.
President Museveni also cited the growing industry by indigenous Ugandans like Aponye group that deal in produce and employ over 250 Ugandans.
"If we had many more Aponye's in Uganda the problem of employment would be solved," he noted.
The leaders of Kabale, Kisoro, Rubanda and Rukiga in their memoranda thanked President Museveni for the good road net work in the region.
"Your Excellency the people of Kigezi region are very happy for the roads that have been tarmacked- from Kabale-Rubanda-Kisoro and the road from Ntungamo-Kabale-Katuna and others whose construction is on-going," said the NRM chairman for Rubanda district Mr. Negamahe Apollo who read the memorandum.
The meeting took place at Kabale Municipality Stadium and was attended by the Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, Ministers, MPs Flag bearers and delegates from the districts of Kigezi region.
Mr. Apollo Negamahe said they are very excited about the completion of the 6 mwts Muvumbe electricity dam in Maziba that will provide them with power.
They also thanked President Museveni and the NRM government for the peace in Uganda, for granting Rukiga and Rubanda district status and the health services now enjoyed by the people of the region. The people of Kigezi are also thankful the President for the modern market that is being constructed in Kabale .
The people of the new district of Rukiga in their memo read by Hon. Caroline Kamusiime who is also the flag bearer for the Woman MP position in Rukiga district applauded NRM government under the leadership of President Museveni for the Rutobo–Kamwesi-Kebisoni road.
They also thanked President Musveni for the new Rushereya market and the new facilities that have been constructed at Muhanga Senior Secondary Schools.
Mr. Nsaba Buturo read the memorandum by the people of Kisoro who praised the NRM Presidential flag bearer for converting Ichuya game reserve into a National Park.
They further thanked President Museveni for the electricity that is now in many rural areas of Kisoro district.
Earlier the chairman of Kabale central division Mr. Kabagambe thanked President Museveni for being the best leader this country has ever had.
"Your Excellency we are very grateful for the peace, electricity and the good roads in our region of Kigezi. In fact you are the sweetest President Uganda has had since Independence," he said.
He pledged to ensure that NRM wins in the forthcoming elections.
The Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, and the Regional NRM Vice Chairman Hon Chris Baryonmusi together with the Deputy Secretary General NRM Hon. Richard Todwong urged Kigezi leaders to ensure that the scientific door to door campaign will see NRM sail through this coming elections with ease.

A flag and letter presented to an official or journalist by a California Issei who would later be arrested and incarcerated by the FBI on December 7, 1941
Kobotru Inouye
Redwood City, California: October 15, 1940. Unbound. This typed letter, dated 17 October 1940 and signed by a prominent Issei member of California's Japanese-American community presents a 2' x 4' silk U.S. flag to an unnamed person, presumably a government official or journalist. Both are in nice shape; the display case is not original nor part of this lot.
The letter reads in part:
"At the present time, both Europe and the Far East is going through a turmoil, and the results of the outcome no one knows. . .. We are very fortunate to be living in this democratic country where everything is plentiful. . .. Most countries are striving to get what is lacking in their country. They cannot get amicable term to obtain what they need; therefore, they are using force, the result being war. This country should stay neutral and not help any country if she wants to continue in peace. As soon as this country start to meddle in others' affair there will be a rebound . . . and the result will be a grave one. . .. As a symbol of the land of Glory I am going to present to you the flag of this nation, and may this country enjoy its freedom and be in peace for time to come.". Very good. Item #009473
Inouye's flowery words about our "democratic land of Glory" partially veil a duplicitous intent directly related to the Japanese Foreign Ministry's effort to stem the tide of adverse publicity Japan was receiving in the American press.
What Inouye euphemistically referred to as "turmoil" was Germany's conquest and brutal occupation of Western Europe. More to the point of this letter, the "turmoil" was also Japan's rape of China and Southeast Asia.
Additionally, Inouye's plea for U.S. neutrality fails to mention that the Axis Pact, i.e., the Tripartite Treaty, was signed just a few days before. In it, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan pledged to support each other in their wars of conquest and subjugation, while formally acknowledging that Japan was entitled to rule all of Asia. Considering this, Inouye's 'suggestion' to "stay neutral" or expect "grave" consequences seems more of a threat than a cautious recommendation.
Inouye was an ambitious son from a Samurai family. He had wanted to become a naval officer like his older brother. However, after being turned down by the Japanese Naval Academy, he immigrated to California, where he established a nursery in Redwood City. He became very active in the quasi-official Japanese Associations that controlled most aspects of Issei life through tiered relationships with the Imperial Government. The Associations emphasized Japanese patriotism, churned out pro-Japanese military propaganda, promoted anti-Chinese hatred, and purchased equipment for the Japanese military.
No doubt, Inouye's samurai heritage, his brother's service in the Japanese Navy, his leadership in Japanese Associations, and this letter brought him to the attention of the FBI as tension between Japan and the United States grew, especially after President Roosevelt directed the FBI to coordinate surveillance of potentially dangerous aliens. Within hours of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, FBI agents appeared at Inouye's home where, after a search, he was taken into custody as part of a sweep that included German, Italian, and Japanese nationals (Inouye was not a U.S. citizen) suspected of being or of being sympathetic to Axis agents. FBI records indicate that during this sweep, the foreign nationals were arrested if they possessed certain cameras, weapons, signaling equipment, or short-wave radios. Although records don't reveal what Inouye possessed, a local newspaper reported his son agreed that Inouye's arrest was the proper thing to do. This comment is indicative of a growing generational split among Japanese immigrants. Issei loyalty generally went to Japan and Nissei loyalty to the United States.
Inouye and two German nationals were first taken to a former immigration office barracks on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay, and then moved to a U.S. Justice Department detention camp at Sharp Park (now in the city of Pacifica) where about 135 other suspected agents were also held. From there, Inouye was moved through several other Department of Justice and U.S. Army detention camps (the Santa Fe and Lordsburg camps in New Mexico, the Ft. Lincoln camp in North Dakota, and Ft. Missoula camp in Montana), which should not be confused with the well-known concentration camps that were later operated by the War Relocation Authority (WRA). At the Ft. Missoula camp, additional screenings were conducted and most of those who had been arrested were released to the WRA. Inouye was not released; he was retained at Ft. Missoula. While there, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and transferred to the Mayo Clinic for treatment. Following treatment at the clinic, Inouye was not sent back to a foreign agent camp but was instead transferred to the WRA's Topaz concentration camp outside of Salt Lake City, Utah where his family had been interned. After the war, Inouye, along with his family returned to California.
For more information see: Muzac's "Inouye, Kotoharu" the San Mateo County Historical Association Online, Ichioka's "Japanese Immigrant Nationalism" in California History (Fall, 1990), multiple articles in the online Densho Encyclopedia, "193 Aliens . . . Moved to Sharp Park Camp to Ease Immigration Station" at the Virtual Museum of the City of San Francisco, various articles in Okihiro's Encyclopedia of Japanese American Internment, the online History of Angel Island Immigration Station by the Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, FBI Memorandum "Internal Security Alien Enemy Control", "Historic Resource Evaluation by the City of Palo Alto #16252H (Draft)", Baker's "Homefront Redwood City – A small town faces a big war" online at Humboldt State University, and Yenne's Panic on the Pacific.
A rare Issei propaganda letter and presentation flag; possibly unique, although it is possible that Inouye presented additional letters and flags to other journalists or officials. As of 2019, nothing remotely similar is for sale in the trade, and Rare Book Hub shows nothing similar as ever being sold at auction. As well, OCLC shows no institutional holdings of other examples, nor any else like them. However the Hoover Institution has a partially cataloged "Kotoharu Inouye Family Collection" that appears to consist of only books and other publications; that may change as its processing progresses.

Because, let's face it, calling the blog snacks & the single man and then not featuring many snacks is just foolish.
These turned up in my local Tesco quite recently and their striking packaging fulfilled its function perfectly. Two flavours - BBQ and Sweet Chilli - were on offer, and both mysteriously appeared in my basket at the checkout.
While the blurb proclaims that these are part of "one mammal's mission to rid the world of boring snacks", there's actually nothing really new about them other than the flavours. In their simplest form, these are nothing more than small, llama-shaped wheat crackers. Shaped crackers and/or biscuits have been a stable of the kids' snacks aisle since time immemorial so, straight away, they're not as original and ground-breaking as they might like to present. It's no surprised that the cheesy option wasn't available - other than size and shape, they'd be little different from any other cheesy cracker, and there are at least a billion varieties of those already on the market.
BBQ is probably my favourite of the other two flavours - it's not like the usual barbecue flavour you'd find on crisps and the like, but it is exceptionally moreish. Sweet Chilli is probably a bit too heavy on 'sweet' and a bit too light on 'chilli' for my liking - only very mildly spicy, really - but still quite pleasant.
Worth picking up for those occasions where you're getting together with mates for booze, bad movies and bar snacks... or for kids' parties.

Legal cannabis takes a step ahead
Geoff WinestockNSW Political Editor
Updated Oct 18, 2015 – 8.32pm, first published at 2.29pm
Leading campaigners for medicinal cannabis have welcomed a federal decision to legalise growing pot but questioned the proposed system for regulating how it can be used.
Lucy Haslam, a Tamworth mother who has led a campaign for medicinal use of cannabis on behalf of her son Dan who died this year of cancer, praised the unexpected decision by Health Minister Sussan Ley over the weekend to amend the Narcotic Drugs Act to allow for licensed cultivation of cannabis.
But Ms Haslam said she was concerned about a plan to hand regulation of cannabis to the Therapeutic Goods Administration, which approves pharmaceuticals.

She said the TGA was reluctant to approve cannabis for use because it was a complex mix of different chemicals whose precise impact was hard to identify.
Ms Haslam said the TGA approach added to costs and delays. The TGA has approved one cannabis-based drug called Sativex for multiple sclerosis tremors but Ms Haslam said its cost of $800 a month forces people to the black market.
"We can produce it far more cheaply for people," she said. A Greens bill tabled in the Senate called for an independent cannabis regulator with less rigorous standards.
The decision will allow NSW to proceed with clinical trials, announced last year, of medicinal cannabis for epilepsy and the relief of nausea and pain in chemotherapy patients. NSW Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair said he would start scouting for sites, and growing cannabis could become "a whole new industry for our regions".
Professor Laurie Mather, emeritus professor of anaesthesia at the University of Sydney, said the clinical trials were unnecessary because the benefits of cannabis had been established overseas. For instance, he said one of the NSW clinical trials, which he described as the "munchies trial", would look at whether taking cannabis could increase appetite in chemotherapy patients.
Victoria has also announced plans for legalisation of the medicinal cannabis by the end of the year.

Q: How to make Logo for my custom Integromat app with different colors? I have a logo with 3 shades of orange color, how to make logo?
3 shades orange logo

A: Integromat supports only white logos as App logos, but you can set different transparency (alpha channel) on the parts of your logo, so it will have more shades. When processing the App Icon, all colors are converted to white, but the transparency is preserved.

A: Expanding on DomiZ the Developer's answer, the background color of the Integromat app logo is specified in the metadata, in the Theme field.

In your specific case, to create this logo, you'll have to create an image with a transparent background and three areas of different opacity. Use the darkest of the three colors as the (hex) value for the app's theme metadata, and then assign different opacities to the regions.
The result will look similar to the following example.

Omega-3 fatty acids fight inflammation via cannabinoids
by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Graduate student Josephine Watson, professor Aditi Das, graduate student Megan Corbett, professor Kristopher Kilian and their colleagues discovered an enzymatic pathway that converts omega-3-derived endocannabinoids into more potent anti-inflammatory molecules. Credit: Steph Adams
Chemical compounds called cannabinoids are found in marijuana and also are produced naturally in the body from omega-3 fatty acids. A well-known cannabinoid in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, is responsible for some of its euphoric effects, but it also has anti-inflammatory benefits. A new study in animal tissue reveals the cascade of chemical reactions that convert omega-3 fatty acids into cannabinoids that have anti-inflammatory benefits—but without the psychotropic high.
The findings are published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Foods such as meat, eggs, fish and nuts contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which the body converts into endocannabinoids—cannabinoids that the body produces naturally, said Aditi Das, a University of Illinois professor of comparative biosciences and biochemistry, who led the study. Cannabinoids in marijuana and endocannabinoids produced in the body can support the body's immune system and therefore are attractive targets for the development of anti-inflammatory therapeutics, she said.
In 1964, the Israeli chemist Raphael Mechoulam was the first to discover and isolate THC from marijuana. To test whether he had found the compound that produces euphoria, he dosed cake slices with 10 milligrams of pure THC and gave them to willing friends at a party. Their reactions, from nonstop laughter, to lethargy, to talkativeness, confirmed that THC was a psychotropic cannabinoid.
It wasn't until 1992 that researchers discovered endocannabinoids produced naturally in the body. Since then, several other endocannabinoids have been identified, but not all have known functions.
Cannabinoids bind to two types of cannabinoid receptors in the body - one that is found predominantly in the nervous system and one in the immune system, Das said.
"Some cannabinoids, such as THC in marijuana or endocannabinoids can bind to these receptors and elicit anti-inflammatory and anti-pain action," she said.
"Our team discovered an enzymatic pathway that converts omega-3-derived endocannabinoids into more potent anti-inflammatory molecules that predominantly bind to the receptors found in the immune system," Das said. "This finding demonstrates how omega-3 fatty acids can produce some of the same medicinal qualities as marijuana, but without a psychotropic effect."

Voodoos acquire forward
Photo: Jack Kelly in action with Okanagan Ontario U18 Prep. Photo supplied
The Powassan Voodoos have added scoring forward Jack Kelly in a trade with the Brockville Braves of the CCHL, the club announced Monday.
Kelly put up solid numbers in U18 AAA play in 2021-22 with the Okanagan Ontario U18 Prep team where he registered 24 goals and 18 assists for 42 points in 44 games.
The Madoc, Ontario product has some familiarity with Peter Goulet, Voodoos head coach and VP of Hockey Operations.
"Jack Kelly will add some size to our line up and great depth up front with our forwards," said Goulet.
"Jack is a very smart hockey player, Jack played two exhibition games for me last year with the Trenton Golden Hawks he was solid in both games for us I am looking forward to having him join our team the Powassan Voodoos."
The Voodoos made room for Kelly after trading forward Jacob McLellan to the Cornwall Colts of the CCHL last week for a development fee.
"I'm excited to join the Voodoos organization and I'm ready to do what the team needs to help win a championship," said Kelly.
The 6'2" Voodoos forward is expected to be in the lineup on Wednesday when they host the visiting Espanola Paper Kings on Wednesday, September 21, 7 p.m. at the Powassan Sportsplex.

Business News That Everyone Should Know About This Week
Businesses far and wide are constantly changing. They're making huge news far and wide. This week brought some of the biggest news ever from the business world. What do consumers need to know about this week and the businesses that made the big news?
Today, it was announced that Tesla had held its annual meeting. The results of that meeting were released earlier today. Shareholders disapproved three proposals put forward. However, they did give a vote of confidence to CEO Elon Musk and that will keep him on Tesla's board for a bit longer.
The vote came at a very tough time for Tesla. Then, Musk became emotional and laid out his plans for the future. Musk went on to claim that Tesla's team had a significantly different mindset than conventional auto workers. Several other proposals were voted down. This includes one encouraging shareholders to get rid of three directors. Another one wanted shareholders to add an independent chairman to the board. Unfortunately, none of those proposals were approved.
Tesla has been criticized harshly during the past few months for several problems, including increased workplace injuries, concerns about the company's autopilot system, and the company's finances. Shareholders have also been worried about the tediously slow production of the Model 3. Nevertheless, shareholders decided not to punish Elon Musk for these problems. Tesla has been forced to take out various loans. The repercussions of loans are clearly detailed on the Better Credit Blog.
Also this week, it was announced that UPS workers could be on the verge of striking. CNN Money reported that Teamsters and UPS could be heading towards one of the nation's largest strikes in many, many years. The union announced on Tuesday that over 90% of its members had agreed to go on strike if a deal was not reached with UPS on August 1st. This is the time when the existing labor contract will expire. At this point in time, UPS is home to 260,000 Teamster members.
The Union claims that UPS could be on the verge of expanding weekend deliveries to Sunday. Several proposals have been put forward. One of those proposals wants to make part-time workers earning $15 an hour full-time with the same wage. At this point, Teamsters are actually divided on the proposal. This is making it much harder to reach and deal and making a strike much more likely. An opposition group wants UPS to pay brand-new full-time workers the same as existing workers.
There is still plenty of time for a deal to be reached. In most cases, union members will actually continue working their jobs until a new deal has been confirmed. The split between union members increases the likelihood that a legitimate strike could happen. UPS hasn't experienced a real strike since 1997. During that time, workers refused to work for 16 days. Back then, there were only 180,000 Teamsters members at UPS.
This time, the strike would be far more significantly and far bigger. Only time will tell if the union and UPS can come to a satisfactory agreement.

Q: how to reference count(*) as a variable in where clause along with group by clause I'm using DB2 and trying to restrict a query which uses group by to only include counts larger than some threshold but cannot get past the syntax errors
select val, count(*) as c from sample_table
where c > 20
group by val;

It doesn't like the fact that I'm referencing c and using it in where clause.
How do I achieve something like this?

A: You could do this:
select *
from (
select val, count(*) as c
from sample_table
group by val
)
where c > 20

but better to do:
select val, count(*) as c
from sample_table
group by val
having count(*) > 20

A: You can use HAVING:
select val, count(*) as c
from sample_table
group by val;
having count(*)> 20

A: You cannot use aggregate functions in where clauses,so you have to use HAVING.
select val, count(*) as c
from sample_table
group by val
Having c>20;

Eduardo does not want to think about the horror tackle that almost ended his career - and is purely focused on getting back on the field with Arsenal as soon as possible.
It is almost a year since the Croatian was left with a broken leg and dislocated ankle by Birmingham defender Martin Taylor.
Following a spell of rehabilitation back in his native Brazil, the former Dinamo Zagreb striker has already returned to action for the Gunners' reserve side ahead of schedule and is set to feature for Croatia in Wednesday's friendly against Romania.
Eduardo was named on the bench in the Barclays Premier League draw against Tottenham last Sunday, although he did not play.
The 25-year-old feels his return to action with the Arsenal first team is imminent, and prefers to focus on that rather than recall any painful memories of events at St Andrews.
"I don't even remember it - and I don't want to either. I have not seen any footage of the incident, and I don't want to," Eduardo told Arsenal TV Online. "At this stage, for me I am focused on the future. The past is the past and I am looking ahead."
The Croatia international, though, bears no grudge against Taylor.
"He sent an e-mail to someone at the club wishing me well [ahead of my return for the reserves], and I am thankful for him doing that," Eduardo said.
Eduardo has been throwing himself into training sessions - and revealed there has been no suggestion of a 'soft touch' approach from his team-mates.
"No-one is really going in for hard challenges, but at the same time it is important they did not make it any easier for me and I think they achieved that," he said. "They found a balance between not being too hard and also not being too soft on me."
