A Force for Good
Chief Deputy Attorney General John Keller wants to protect the rights of all Minnesotans.
Photo Credit: Erica Loeks Sutherland
Growing up as the youngest of eight siblings on a dairy farm outside of Stillwater, John Keller never imagined he'd spend his career as a lawyer. "I doubt I ever knew a lawyer," says Keller (B.A '92), sitting in a high-ceilinged conference room in the Minnesota State Capitol, where he serves as the state's chief deputy attorney general. "If my dad ever talked about a lawyer, it probably wasn't a fun discussion."
That perspective changed in 1988 when Keller, having completed his sophomore year as a Peace Studies major at St. John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, had the opportunity to take a year off to work for a human rights nonprofit in Lima, Peru. The South American country was in the midst of a crisis. Unemployment was rampant and the government—long a violator of human rights—had implemented economic shock policies that sent inflation soaring. The Shining Path rebels were also terrorizing urban areas with bombings and assassinations.
It was in this setting that Keller met a nonprofit lawyer who was valiantly working to document the human rights abuses by all sides so that he could present his findings to the United Nations. The experience, Keller remembers, was a revelation.
"It was just eye-opening to see a lawyer and an organization doing that kind of work in the midst of an extremely precarious and challenging environment," he remembers. Law, Keller realized, could be a tool for social justice.
After returning to Minnesota in spring 1989, Keller transferred to the U of M. He says the U was attractive to him because it offered a Latin American studies major, was more affordable, and had a more socially and economically diverse campus than St. John's. He completed studies for his fall quarter before returning to Peru in January 1990. Six months later, he married Maria Keller Flores, a Peruvian whom he'd met during his previous stay. (Today, after being married for 29 years, the couple have three kids between the ages of 28 and 18.)
The young couple returned to Minnesota in August 1990. Keller says his wife's paperwork was the first immigration form he ever filled out. "Fortunately, I didn't mess it up," he jokes. Keller says the flexibility the U offered him in taking independent study and evening classes while he worked full time and was a new dad was crucial to him finishing his undergraduate degree. To save costs, they lived with family in Stillwater.
Keller received his undergraduate degree in 1992 and entered law school at Hamline University in 1993, graduating in 1996. After a year clerking for the Minnesota Court of Appeals, he joined the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota (ILCM), a nonprofit that provides legal representation for new Americans and promotes public policies that benefit them. He stayed at ILCM for more than 20 years, becoming the executive director in 2005. While working at ILCM, he also served as a policy fellow at the U's Humphrey School of Public Affairs from 2007 to 2008.
"We were committed to taking on complex cases because we believe that people deserve a second chance," he says of his work at ILCM. During his tenure, the nonprofit expanded its mission to include public policy research and advocacy. Today the organization works with government officials, labor unions, and other organizations that support immigrants and refugees to advance immigration policies that meet the needs of local economies, while also respecting immigrants' human rights.
In 2013, ILCM was instrumental in passing the Minnesota Dream Act, which provides education benefits to undocumented students who meet certain requirements. The organization also provided assistance at the federal level to pass Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a policy that offered undocumented residents who were brought to the U.S. as children work permits and temporary protection from deportation. (The Trump administration issued orders to rescind this program in 2017, but ongoing legal challenges have forced the government to postpone terminating it. The Supreme Court will hear the case in its next term.)
In 2013, Keller was also part of a team that launched the James H. Binger Center for New Americans at the University of Minnesota Law School. The Center was created in response to the unmet need for pro-bono legal services in Minnesota's immigrant and refugee communities.
"The work he did at ILCM speaks to the quality of the collaboration and the breadth of the advocacy John has always pursued," says Benjamin Casper Sanchez, director of the Center for New Americans at the U of M. "We would be much worse off, especially during this period, if ILCM hadn't been developed under his leadership."
Quiet and self-effacing, Keller doesn't seem to view his many accomplishments as anything to crow about. So, when he received a phone call in November 2018 from newly elected Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (J. D. '90), Keller assumed Ellison wanted to discuss how the attorney general's office could network with ILCM.
In fact, Ellison was calling to ask Keller to be his second in command.
"It was his combination of experience, leadership, and values that made me know John Keller was the right fit for chief deputy attorney general," says Ellison. "First, John showed he knows how to grow a law firm, and I knew we needed to grow the Attorney General's Office after years of no growth. Second, John inspires confidence in people as a leader because he's organized, purposeful, clear about expectations, honors other people's strengths, and is steady and kind. Finally, I wanted someone with a track record of commitment to social and economic justice, and there's no one in Minnesota who's stood more consistently on the side of justice than John."
In addition to serving immigrants and refugees, Keller now advocates for every Minnesotan. "To work with a team of 130 attorneys is a dream for someone who wants to use the law for good," says Keller. "And I couldn't think of a better place to do that than working at an organization whose mission it is to defend the rights and opportunities for all of Minnesota."

Long ago, in a far corner of the University of Minnesota's East Bank campus, generations of youthful students participated in what was then known as the University High School. Thomas B. Jones (B.A. '64), a long-retired professor of history, attended University High School from 1956-1960.

Capello: it is a pity that mate with Liechtenstein did not convert all of their moments
The national team of Russia on football has provided a good play in the game of the qualifying round of European championship 2016 with a team of Liechtenstein. About it at the press conference said the Chief Coach of Russian Fabio Capello.
The Russian team won with the score 4: 0.» Good game. Unfortunately, we were not able to use all its moments. I saw positive things in our actions,» said Capello.
Capello explained why replace a goalie in the middle of the second half.» None of the players of the national team of the Russian Federation is not obliged to feel spare, for this reason I replaced Igor Akinfeev on Yuri Lodygina,» — said the expert.
The coach said the game newcomer Artem Dzuba.
«Dzyuba his game in the championship of Russia proved that I deserve to play for the national team. For this reason, I trusted him a place on the field,» said Capello.- Today Dzyuba did that And was obliged to do.»
Fabio Capello believes the idea of creating a basic command before the 2018 world Cup is beautiful, but utopian
Capello: debts to the coaches of the national team of the Russian Federation ought to be repaid on Tuesday
Fabio Capello: the Question of salary is least worried about
Team doctor: Dzuba, despite the disease may participate in upcoming matches
Capello has included Dziuba in the national team of Russia on matches against Azerbaijan and Liechtenstein

There is no doubt Lionel Messi is the world's best soccer player, not only of this moment but of the past decade. In fact for many –me included- Messi should be the top player in the history of the sport, above iconic starts like Pelé and Maradona. That said, when counting awards Messi is missing one in his glass cabinet, the World Cup, which has been won once by Maradona and three times by Pelé. In summary, if we focus in results, the element taken in consideration when remembering the history of a sport, Leo can't matchup with his countryman or with the Brazilian standout.
This summer Messi's will have his best chance in Russia. After a horrible qualifying tournament, in which Argentina even changed its head coach, taking Jorge Sampaoli the reins of the squad, three goals scored by Messi at Ecuador in the last round secure a spot in Russia 2018. But once the World Cup starts nobody cares how a team got to the tournament, so we can count on Argentina being among the top favorites.
The South Americans will play in a tough Group D, along Croatia, newcomer Iceland and a Nigerian squad that has been matched with Argentina five times in the groups' round. It is a must to finish in first place, because a very tough France team, that will probably win Group C, will be facing the second place of Group D in the first knockout round.
After scoring only one goal in his first two World Cup appearances, Messi had a very solid 2014 tournament in Brazil despite not being one hundred per cent physically. Argentina was not a dominant squad, but kept advancing until reaching a final game for the first time since 1990. Leo scored four goals and was the star of a team that failed by the same score (1-0) and against the same opponent, Germany, as in 1990. This way Messi lost an excellent chance to reach the all-time planet football summit.
Russia 2018 provides another great opportunity to the world's top soccer star. It is ironic, but Messi's and Argentina's success will rely on the rest of players who perform at his side. No doubt the South American nation has excellent forwards like Mauro Icardi, Paulo Dybala, Ángel Di María, Sergio Agüero or even Gonzalo Higuaín. The key for coach Sampaoli would be to find a balance, surrounding Leo with hard working players that will strengthen Argentina's defense. It is no easy task, because even in the last round of the qualifying tournament veteran Javier Mascherano was anchoring the team's backfield, which shows there has not been a generational change in Argentina's rearguard for years. Anyway if Sampaoli, who succeeded with Chile, hits the right bottom, do not rule out Messi from winning his first World Cup to objectively rewarded as the best soccer player ever.

Facts About Sudoku That You Probably Didn't Know
by Aishwarya December 15, 2021
written by Aishwarya December 15, 2021
Sudoku is one of the most fun and addictive puzzles out there. This game has been available for several years. Nowadays, thanks to the development of technology, you can download Sudoku on your smartphone or tablet and play it whenever wherever.
Sudoku has significantly grown in popularity over the years. This could be contributed by the fact that Sudoku is easy to learn and play, and it can also put your mind in good shape since it is a mind-teaser. This game is usually played in a 9×9 grid, which has numbers from 1 to 9. No number should be repeated in the grid. Sudoku usually comes in different sizes and themes.
If you love playing Sudoku, there are plenty of facts that you may not know about this globally-known puzzle game. In this piece, we want to discuss some of the surprising facts about Sudoku that you may not be aware of. So, without wasting more time, let's explore them.
Sudoku is an American game, and not a Japanese game
One of the most common misconceptions about Sudoku is that it is actually a Japanese game. But this is far from being the truth. Contrary to that, Sudoku is an American game. The game was originally developed by Howard Garn in 1979. Sudoku was originally called "Number Place." The game was then popularized as "Sudoku" by Nikoli, a Japanese publisher in 1984. So this means that Sudoku is an American game and not a Japanese game because it originated in the USA.
Numerous variations of Sudoku have been released since its launch
Another surprising fact you need to know about Sudoku is that it has plenty of variations. Since its release in 1979, several Sudoku variations have been created. But its original concept still remains the same. The perfect examples of Sudoku variations include Samurai Sudoku, Mini Sudoku, Logic 5, Jigsaw Sudoku, etc.
Sudoku is a logic game and not a mathematical game
A number of people often think that Sudoku is more of a mathematical game. But this is not true. In fact, Sudoku is a logic game. Logic puzzles are typically characterized by a grid that must be completed by following well-defined rules. Sudoku can be played with symbols, pictures, numbers that don't really require mathematical skills to solve. So if you are looking for a perfect example of a logic puzzle, it is Sudoku.
Sudoku only became popular after 2004
While this popular puzzle game was developed in 1979, it was up until 2004 that it became popular. Howard Garn developed the game by its original name 'Number Place." He died in 1989 before the game gained the massive popularity that it has acquired today. Nikoli, who was a Japanese publisher, later changed the name to "Sudoku." Sudoku is a Japanese word. "Su" means a number, while "Doku" means single. So Sudoku means "only single digits."
It was until 2004 that Sudoku became popular across the globe. This fun and addictive game has broken the record to be one of the best PC puzzles. It has also proven to be one of the best puzzles for the mobile platform. Today, it is so easy to find somebody playing Sudoku, whether on their tablets, smartphones, or paper.
The number of Sudoku players across the globe isn't known
Since Sudoku is one of the most fun, engaging, and addictive puzzles across the globe, this has made it attract millions of players globally. Unfortunately, the exact number of Sudoku players in the whole world isn't known because this puzzle is played on various platforms by different players. Of course, this is what makes it difficult to estimate the exact number of people playing Sudoku because some people play it in the newspaper or magazine, while others play it on the web, while other people play Sudoku on downloadable versions.
Playing Sudoku offers plenty of benefits
If you think that Sudoku is only a source of entertainment, then you are absolutely wrong. There are plenty of benefits of Sudoku other than just for entertainment. Playing Sudoku will offer you a number of health benefits such as:
Improving thinking skills
Relieving stress
Improving memory
Improving logical thinking
Improving concentration
This means that you can never go wrong in choosing to play Sudoku because the benefits you will enjoy are just incredible.
It is impossible to complete all Sudoku puzzles in your lifetime
There are numerous Sudoku puzzles today. Research shows that there are about 5,472, 730, 540 valid puzzles that can be played. Of course, what this means is that it is impossible to solve all of these puzzles in your lifetime. What's more, there are several levels of difficulty and also numerous challenges, depending on your skill level. So if you thought that you could break the record and play all Sudoku puzzles, just abolish that thought because it is impossible.
Sudoku is solvable
Let nobody lie to you that some Sudoku puzzles cannot be solved. All Sudoku puzzles can be solved if you use the right solving techniques. So if you find it difficult and nerve-wracking to solve Sudoku, it could be that you are using the wrong technique or not keen enough. For you to successfully complete your Sudoku puzzle, you need to understand the rules of the game. When it comes to solving Sudoku puzzles, there are numerous resources you can gather information and insights from. For example, there are numerous articles or eBooks on the internet that talk about Sudoku and how to solve them. By spending your time on these resources, you are more likely to become a pro Sudoku player.
There you have it- some of the top facts about Sudoku puzzles that you probably did not know. There is no doubt that Sudoku is a fun and interesting game that will help you relax after a long tiring day or help you keep boredom at bay. This game will definitely keep you glued to your phone or tablet for hours on end.

Invitation to exhibition dynasty Ovchinnikova
Art Sky > Invitation to exhibition dynasty Ovchinnikova
Anatoly Ovchinnikov is considered to be a significant figure in the lapidary art world. Currently, as the chief artist of our art community "Art Sky", he revives the ancestral traditions of the Ural masters.
Within the years of his work, Anatoly had taken part in more then 300 exhibitions, both Russian and abroad. And now, the exhibition "Lapidary Ovchinnikov: Ural dynasty ", that took place in the Perm art gallery in the beginning of 2015 became the apogee of recognition of his creativity.
More then 150 art pieces, created by the master were showcased at the exhibition. These amazing objects made of stone struck and fascinated the visitors. Honey-golden selenite, ash-milk anhydrite, green-and-black Talkohlorit and other amazing Ural gems appeared before the astonished audience in the form of realistic animals and birds, fragile insects and mysterious inhabitants of the underwater world.
The roots of lapidary art in Ovchinnikov dynasty date back as early as the late 19th century. Now,Anatoly Ovchinnikov, honored artists of Russia, who spent almost 60 years working with the gems, is considered a real guru in this sphere of art. It was him, who give the contemporary Ural lapidary it's own unique style and image. His works served as a model for countless copies that were spread over the country and abroad. Anatoly Ovchinnikov as well invented his own processing technology of stone – "sponge method" (оригинал –Bisquite method)All the members of his family are linked with lapidary arts. Works of his son Roman and daughter Tatyana, ex-wife Faina and grandson Dmitry were presented at the exhibition in Perm Art gallery as well. In order to allow the visitors to get acquainted with this famous and remarkable dynasty, the photos from the family archive of Ovchinnikov were showcased at the event.
The whole exposition consisted of three exhibition halls separated both territorially and thematically: "World of Nature", "Family Tree" and "Workshop". Each of the halls represented different aspect of life and work of the members of the dynasty. This was the first event where works of all the family was shown at the same time.
Each of these artist had already become famous far beyond the Perm region. Some of the works by Ovchinnikov are stored in the Kremlin Armory Chamber in Moscow, others are kept in art-historical museum in Zagorsk, and some are in the Perm art gallery, as well as in other museums, and also in the Russian and foreign private collections.
Fine art experts are astonished by the delicate artistic taste of Ovchinnikov family members. Experts are confident that it is hard to find equal masters in Russia. Indeed, one only has to look at the lively and a bit ruffled birds, fine plastic marten, predatory lynxes – and you necessarily forget that all of them are made of cold and silent stone.
The stone itself becomes alive in the capable hands of the master, who only makes a little work with him. Natural veins, patterns, motley spots on organic gems turn into shades of fur of an animal skin or feathers or fish scales. Anatoly Ovchinnikov had talked about this magical and fascinating process at the exhibition with great inspiration. He also shared few secrets of realization of his ideas. In order to transmit most naturally the beauty of the animal in the stone, he spends a long time watching the wildlife, and enjoys fine art photography. The artist admitted that a serious contribution to its understanding of the anatomy was made by his former hunting experience.
The exhibition of the Ovchinnikov dynasty – colorful and informative, was a really extraordinary and outstanding event. By holding this event Curator Alexandra Pestova was able to raise real strong interest to the lapidary art of the pre-Kama region.

Again there's a reductive element, but the oak is fainter here. The acidity is higher but so is the intensity. Faint CO2 spoils further appraisal.
Medium-plus colour. Crystallised dark fruits play on the nose – with less overt oak than the villages Chambolle. The flavour of the oak is obvious but the wine has good tannin with just the right amount of 'grab' for a young wine – excellent width and complexity. This is a very engaging wine but without the common minerality of a Caillerets – perhaps it will develop as the oak fades.
The nose is of more compact proportions, but again with pretty red fruits. This time there is a more mineral base followed by an expansion of the flavours in the mid-palate. The most prominent aspect of the finish is its impressive minerality.
Faint herbs over lovely, if relatively restrained red fruits – even a little roasted element in there. More depth and density again, perhaps less impact but it's beautifully supple. There is structure, but it's well buried – very pretty wine.
Medium colour with some purple reflections. High-toned aromatics are the main theme. Well-mamanaged tannins and a dark, slightly reductive element. The fruit in the mid-palate is lovely before fading into a medium length.
Medium-plus colour – almost purple. A wide and really interesting nose of black-shaded fruit over a base of coffee. The finest tannins yet – they are only faintly astringent, despite their abundance. The fruit on the palate is very clean and understated yet very long. This is a fantastic wine and worth a special search.
Medium garnet core with a more mahogany rim. The nose started wide and forward with bloody, earthy tones. Plenty of time in the glass and you settle to a mineral, raisined cranberry expression, very lovely. The palate is much more understated and lithe, still with just a faint 'jarr' to the fine tannin. The acidity is good and you'll find an equally good intensity from the mid-palate into the finish. Could still do with another 3 or so years in the cellar, but no crime to drink now.
Deep colour. Equally deep nose of undergrowth, turned-over leaves, black fruit and black olive. Mouth-wrapping tannins, tons of black fruit that gets purer with time in the glass. I think I would have guessed Gevrey. Really interesting.

The 3 Best Ways to Invest in the Baby Boomer Retirement Wave
By Mike Stenger, Associate Editor, Money Morning • May 13, 2019
There's a catch to America's lowest unemployment rate in 50 years: It happens to be a trillion-dollar industry. It's the Baby Boomer retirement wave.
On Friday, May 3, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the jobless rate fell to 3.6%. That's the lowest since it hit 3.4% all the way back in 1959.
While that's great news and a sign the economy is doing as well as ever, some economists quickly pointed out it was too good to be true.
According to MarketWatch, unemployment fell simply because the labor force shrunk by a half-million people, and it's been shrinking in greater proportion every month since January. There are fewer Americans participating in the labor force, so they are not included in the unemployment calculation.
The unemployment rate was 3.8% in March, and the 0.2% difference, it turns out, represents Americans who were looking for jobs but then chose to retire instead. Here's a look at the labor force over the last few months, the percentage of people between ages 16 and 64 who are employed or seeking employment. You can see the participation rate has been falling steadily.
But there's a bigger reason behind this, and it could make you rich.
The U.S. Census Bureau projects that by 2030, all Americans born between 1946 and 1964 will be older than 65. The Boomers will have all reached retirement age.
Kiplinger says it's the first time in human history that those over 65 will outnumber children younger than five. The total number of Boomers amounts 74.9 million. It's around double the size of the Silent Generation before it, which was about 28.32 million.
In other words, Baby Boomer retirement is the reason for our dwindling labor force and lower unemployment numbers. And it's also going to put a huge strain on different retirement industries.
So, in a way, celebrating lower unemployment was a false start - we didn't do anything but age. No sweeping public policy move or sudden revitalization of the working class is responsible. Only time.
But what if there was a way to profit from the mere passage of time?
We've uncovered a stock that makes this more than possible - but you should first know the extent of the opportunity unlocked by this retirement boom. There are actually several profitable investment strategies to take with a catalyst of this size, because it affects so many people in different areas.

Think about it: 29% of the workforce will disappear over the next couple of decades. But these people aren't just leaving the workforce; they are going into retirement. We will see a surge in healthcare and residential expenses attributable to a whole 21% of the American population.
And according to Money.com, the average cost to cover a senior's healthcare from retirement to death is $280,000. When you multiply that by 74.9 million, you're looking at a market worth over $20.9 trillion.
But you'll only get a slice of that if you invest in a smart and timely fashion. There are a range of investments to consider if you want to take full advantage of the retirement boom. And smart investors have already jumped on a few of them.
We've got three right here.
The first one is a mutual fund popular with the aging population - though, it should be popular with anyone looking for a comfortable future retirement. After that, we'll show you a stock that's seeing more than a 120% increase in revenue year over year (YoY).
Baby Boomer Retirement Stocks, No. 3: Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund
The Vanguard Dividend Growth Fund (MUTF: VDIGX) is a mutual fund that focuses on high-quality dividend stocks.
The fund is well diversified across many blue-chip stocks. These include stocks like McDonald's Corp. (NYSE: MCD), Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). But those are just some of the top 10 holdings, which make up 32.4% of the assets in the portfolio totaling $35.85 billion.
Its most heavily invested sector is healthcare, at 17.3%, which is important for consistent, long-term growth. Healthcare expenditures accounted for just 12.2% of gross national product (GNP) in 1990, but they could grow as high as 43.7% by 2030, according to HealthAffairs.org.
Investors could look to the Vanguard Health Care ETF (NYSE Arca: VHT) as an alternative, which invests exclusively in healthcare stocks. But the assets there currently total only $10.7 billion, and the fund is $167.58 per share. At $28.13, VDIGX is a much more accessible, diversified option that maximizes dividends and profit potential.
Vanguard Dividend Growth's share price has grown 157% over the last 10 years, from $8.98 to $28.13. Its turnover rate is about 23%, a solid compromise between active and passive investing for a portfolio aiming to maximize your long-term growth.
VDIGX is a fund many seniors will want to invest in to cushion their retirement, so those expecting to retire on the coattails of the great Boomer retirement will make out well if they invest now.
Baby Boomer Retirement Stocks, No. 2: Ventas Inc.
A real estate investment trust (REIT) works kind of like a stock. A company that owns property can pay out some of its income to shareholders, similar to a dividend. What makes Ventas Inc. (NYSE: VTR) profitable is this REIT owns a total of 787 senior housing communities.
Morningstar projects 40% of individuals will enter a nursing home in their lifetime. And according to LongTermCare.gov, the average cost of long-term senior care is around $4,000 to $7,000 per month.
Forty percent of 74.9 million is 29.9 million. So long-term care alone adds at least $1.4 trillion per year to the Baby Boomer market. Demand for these properties will climb at an unprecedented rate over the next couple of decades.
Though Ventas has experienced oversupply for senior housing in the last few years, Senior Housing News reports that demand is expected to rise to 3.2 million units by 2040.
Today, VTR sells for about at $61.29 per share. It will likely be a whole lot more after the next wave of retirement hits. But its growth won't match this next investment, a healthcare stock that has a near-perfect score on our Money Morning Stock VQScore™ system.
It logs a 4.15, meaning it's an undervalued stock and its financials have it poised for a breakout in price.

Q: How to refresh a React component after a request to backend Node app? I have an application composed of:

*

*React frontend

*Node JS + Express backend

*Mongo DB

Backend and frontend communicates mainly through Apollo GraphQL.
Recently I began using Twilio for making calls. After a call, Twilio sends a backend request to my node JS app to a specific route, which is then modyfing a document in Mongo. The request is totally independent of the frontend and can come anytime.
How can I update the React component - a form displaying mentioned document, after that backend request (the displayed data should change accoridng to backend version)? I am thinking about websockets and/or Apollo subscriptions, but maybe there is some easier way?

A: Twilio developer evangelist here.
You are looking for a way to push data from your server to your front end. Web sockets is probably the best solution for you, and since you are already using Apollo, and Apollo Subscriptions are commonly implemented over web sockets, then that is probably a good solution for you.

Roy Moore Just Got Some More Bad News About His Senate Campaign
It looks like pedophilia may be the issue that determines the Alabama Senate race.
With Republican candidate Roy Moore fighting accusations that he sexually molested a 14-year-old girl when he was a 32-year-old lawyer, the latest polls from the race to permanently fill Jeff Sessions' old Senate seat show Democratic challenger Doug Jones in the lead by four points, after previously trailing in the polls by eight points.
The Washington correspondent for the Toronto Star tweeted the latest poll results from polling firm JMC Analytics, who surveyed Alabama voters beginning on Thursday after the news about the accusations against Moore broke.
New Alabama poll: Doug Jones 46%, Roy Moore 42%. First poll to show Jones in the lead. https://t.co/HVJlVUjucf
— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) November 12, 2017
Democrats can't be too complacent about the election, however, despite the scandal. With a margin of error of 4%, the poll essentially shows the race about even, and the results for some questions asked in the poll demonstrate that pedophilia may not be toxic enough for some Alabama voters to prevent them from voting for the Republican candidate.
For instance, asked the question:
Given the allegations that have come out about Roy Moore's alleged sexual misconduct against four underage women, are you more or less likely to support him as a result of these allegations?
29% of Alabama voters polled said that the charges made them more likely to support Moore, and 33% said it made no difference. That's 62% of Alabama voters who would rather have a pedophile in Congress than a Democrat. Who knew about this hidden underbelly of actual pedophilia fans in Alabama? Somebody please warn every underage girl in the state.
The poll also shows that the number of people who think Moore is qualified for the Senate has dropped below 50% for the first time, but the margin of error proves that this race won't be over until the last vote is counted.

Bruce Dart, (PPA) Certified Professional Photographer, Craftsman Photographer, professional photographer since 1976 I DON' T ALWAYS MOUNT MY PRINTS IN A MATTE, SO THE STAMP IN FIVE PLACES ON THE BACK OF THE PHOTO, JUST PROTECTS YOUR PHOTO ENOUGH THAT PEOPLE DON' T WANT TO STEAL IT.
Remember the real goal is to focus attention on your work, "not a pretty mat." In a gallery situation if the walls are white and all the mats are white with a black frame, what stands out is the print.Once the image is matted, the maker signs the mat board and usually includes the image's title, the date it was made, and often, the number of the print - if it's one of a series of the same print.If you use a light-colored mat board, sign on it lightly with a sharp pencil! While paintings and many portraits are signed on the print, photographic art is usually NOT. Matting and framing, however, is an extensive and somewhat complicated subject. Creating a "look" for a show or gallery often requires a white mat; sometimes having all your work on black as John suggested creates a consistent look that is desirable in that display setting.Normally, people frame their pictures, mounting them on mat board. The color of the mat board is the maker's choice and should complement the print; in competition, however, many judges demand that the maker use white mat board.I mat my prints using white or black mat board exclusively.I ALSO ANGLE MY SIGNATURE AT A 45% ANGLE TO THE LOWER CORNER AND THE MONTH AND YEAR GOES UNDER MY NAME.
IT GIVES IT A CLASSY LOOK AND PEOPLE KNOW YOU ARE PROUD TO PUT YOUR NAME ON THE ART WORK OR PHOTO. BOB The gold pen at an angle is classy and shows off your work well.
In that respect, make sure any sales receipts you use, note that "the work entitled ______, sold herewith, is protected under federal law and copyrighted by ______ on _______ with registration pending.
This work may only be displayed for personal use and not duplicated or published in any form absent the express written consent of the author (you)." Got it?
THAT WAY IT IS TOTALLY PROTECTED FROM SOMEONE THAT MIGHT JUST WANT TO CUT OFF THE SIGNATURE AND PUT IT IN THEIR FRAME.
THE STAMP DOESN' T COST MUCH AND IT TAKES NO TIME AT ALL.
MAKE NOTE OF WHAT EVERYBODY HAS SUGGESTED AND DO WHAT YOU THINK WORKS FOR YOU. I think you'll find that's a matter of personal preference.

I've heard it said that it takes one million words before a writer finally finds their 'voice' and is able to tell the stories that are in their head the best way possible. With this in mind, I have made it a part of my regular writing continually hone my craft.
And so, over the years, I've seen my style and voice improve. One of the biggest places where I've practiced my craft has been in fanfiction. Using the worlds and characters from others has helped me focus on other parts of my story telling. Even now, while I am creating original stories, I still aim to keep practicing, to keep learning.
And as fanfiction has been such a big part of my writing life for so long, I want to keep working in that forum, and especially as so many of my fans found me through that forum. To read any of my fanfiction stories, simply click on the link of the site that you prefer and you'll be taken to my profile page.
Below is a summary for each of my fanfiction stories:
The Cupboard Series:
Book 1: The Cupboard Under the Stairs
A mysterious green inked letter banished Harry from his cupboard. But does taking the boy out of the cupboard also mean that you've taken the cupboard out of the boy? A first year fic.
Book 2: Hermione's Book Nook
Even bars on the window, locks on the door and a demented house-elf can't keep Harry away from his friends. The Ministry hearing, though, might be a different story. And then there's that letter from his dad … A second year fic.
Book 3: Potter Haven
After the disastrous events at King's Cross Station at the end of Harry and Hermione's second year, Harry's been expelled from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and is now on the run. Hunted by the Ministry of Magic and Albus Dumbledore alike, Harry must somehow learn to survive alone while at the same time continuing his magical education. The third year of Harry and Hermione's magical education.
Book 4: The Fourth School
The TriWizard Tournament has been revived and the three largest and most prestigious schools in Europe are due to compete – Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. And in a mark of respect, the newest and smallest school in not only Britain but also all of Europe, has been invited to watch. If only things were that simple. The fourth year of Harry and Hermione's magical education.
Book 5: United We Stand …
Lord Voldemort has risen. The Minister of Magic is dead. War has been declared. Now is the time for those of the Light to unite, for to do so will give them a chance to stand, to face the Darkness and to survive. For we all know what happens to those who are divided …
Book 6: Castle Voldemort
Hogwarts has fallen. In its place stands Castle Voldemort. With the Hogwarts students held hostage, the Ministry has surrendered. All of magical Britain is now under the rule of Lord Voldemort. All, that is, but for those few at Diricawl Academy of Magical Studies. But what can so few really do against such odds?
Book 7: Graduation Day
Seven years ago, Harry Potter was taken from the cupboard under the stairs and thrust into the wizarding world. His first magic school, Hogwarts, didn't work out, so, together with some new friends, Harry founded his own – Diricawl Academy of Magical Studies. They've learnt a lot and even saved the wizarding world from an evil Dark Lord. Now, it's finally time to graduate.
Dragon Chronicles
Book 1: Muggle-Raised Champion
The day before Harry Potter was due to go to Hogwarts for the very first time, his aunt and uncle informed him that he wouldn't be going. Instead, he was sent to Stonewall High. Now, three years later, the Goblet of Fire has named him as a TriWizard Champion. What that means is anyone's guess, but to Harry, one thing is clear: he can finally get away from Privet Drive. Not a part of the Cupboard Under the Stairs Series.
Book 2: Harry Potter, Dragon Whisperer
Being a parselmouth, Harry is hired by all of the Dragon Sanctuaries. His new job: to travel the world, check on all the dragons, talk to them and learn about them. The dragons have also heard of Harry's talent – as an artist and they can be pushy about having their portrait painted. With dragons, magizoologists and shades of Dark Lords after him, Harry's life is anything but dull.
Other Harry Potter Stories:
A Sorting Like No Other
The Sorting Hat (or Brian to his friends) has had enough of being told by Albus-Too-May-Names Dumbledore exactly how certain new students should be sorted. He's seen the four great Houses of Hogwarts decline from what The Founders had once envisioned them to be. For once, he's going to take matters into his own, um, hands? The incoming class of 1991 isn't going to know what hit them. Get ready for a Sorting like no other. One shot. Not a part of my Cupboard Series.
Crossover Stories:
Heroes Assemble!
After five years travelling the world, Harry Potter has landed in New York. He figures that there's no better place than the city that never sleeps to settle in and forge a new life. If only the heroes, villains, aliens and spies had received the message. Begins just before the Avengers movie and continues through the MCU. Expect a long story with some extra faces along the way.
Heroes Assemble! The Ghost of Bengalla
When pirates of the Singh Brotherhood attack and seize a cargo ship full of weapons off of the coast of Bengalla, S.H.I.E.L.D. send in Agent Phil Coulson to deal with the situation. Bengalla, though, has their own protector, one who has been combatting these pirates for nearly 500 years. It's time for Coulson to meet a new hero. A story set in the universe of 'Heroes Assemble!' One-shot.


The 112 acres of Kenwood House is on the crest of one of the most popular open spaces in the capital, Hampstead Heath. Sprawling at the rear of Kenwood House is a large area of short, lush green grass known as 'The Pasture Ground' which was once grazed by cattle during the 18th Century. In front and to the side of the house are two large lawns which are ripe for Waxcaps and other unimproved grass-loving species.

Q: Java Beginner --Type of words in the code public void sendMessage (View view) {
    Intent intent = new Intent (this, DisplayMessageActivity.class);
    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById (R.id.edit_message);
}

I am confused with the different of "Intent intent" type? Is it a classifier or variable or class? Why is the first letter of "Intent" is capitalize and the next one is not? also what is the type of "(Edit Text)", "findViewById" and (R.id.edit_message) ?
The code is copied from developer android website.
Thank you

A: First of all, it looks like you're using c#, so my guess is that you're working with the Xamarin Framework? Either way, it'd be a good thing to post with your question.
The Intent class is a class that represents something that is going to be done by the Android OS. Instead of quoting documentation, I will link you to it here (This is on the Xamarin website, though the Intent type is the same stuff). In order to fully grasp it I recommend you looking around to see an example, of which there are many.
The reason why Intent is written capitalized because it represents a type, which is syntax. the 'intent' written after Intent is a variable containing an instance of Intent (an Intent object if you will).
EditText (that space is most likely a typo) is also a type like Intent, however instead of it being used here as a way to declare an instance of itself, here it is used to cast whatever follows next to its type. Casting is a way of forcing (if it is in fact possible) an object (or instance) to convert to the type you're casting to.
For instance you could cast an instance of the type 'Int' to a 'Double' like so:
Int my_integer = 5;
double my_double = (Double)my_integer;

findByViewId pretty much speaks for itself, it finds some view (which is some element that is on your screen) by the id you pass as a parameter.
Apparently it returns a type that is convertable to the EditText type, because if it were not, the casting would result in a compile error.
Oh and yea, if you want to start becoming an Android developer, learn a language in which you can develope an Android app, as all of these questions are pretty much unrelated to App Development, but rather to programming in object oriented languages.

A: Intent is a class defined in android's framework,intent is a variable and its type is Intent,like String s,String is type and s is varaiable name.You can change intent to any legal name .
And not Edit Text,is EditText .

According to Reuters, Chevrolet's Aveo replacement has been postponed until January 2011 due to the well-publicized financial troubles at General Motors and its Korean subsidiary, Daewoo. Previously, the Aveo's replacement, codenamed T300, had been expected to bow in April of 2010.

Adios Aerio! Next Forenza has your number
Who would have guessed a few years ago that Suzuki would be in the midst of international renaissance? While some locales around the world already have a high opinion of the Japanese company's products, the North American market has suffered through one forgettable Suzuki after another. That's because most of them have been rebadged models from General Motors. The current Forenza, for instance, is GM-Daewoo model built in Korea and rebadged for North American consumption.


Lawyer Briscoe Cain's Republican primary runoff win over state Rep. Wayne Smith in Baytown's District 128 stands after a recount, the candidates said Friday.
Cain, of Deer Park, defeated Smith by just 23 votes last month, initially prompting the 14-year incumbent to concede. Within days, however, Smith requested the votes be tallied again.
The 23-vote margin remained unchanged in the recount, according to Cain.
In conceding, again, Smith repeated his election night comments thanking voters for the opportunity to serve.
"I have no regrets," Smith said in a statement. "Until my term ends in January 2017, I will continue to work to fulfill my responsibilities to the district and duty to the state of Texas. I genuinely enjoy the work."
Cain said he was "blessed" to remain the winner.
"Ensuring the integrity of the voting process is something everyone should applaud," he said in a statement. "We were outspent nearly 8-to-1 in this runoff, but the people saw past the misleading attacks and chose to restore conservative representation to District 128."


Lynette Connacher spent six weeks enrolled in a Learning Sustainability and Community Engagement program in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Through the LSCE program, Lynette began a week long briefing on how to become and be certified as an effective Community Engagement Worker in the township of Lynedoch, which has the highest rate of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome in the world. From Lynedoch, she went on to the township of Kayamandi to work in the Vision AfriKa Center for youth. Vision AfriKa's mission is to give encouragement, personal ownership and responsibility to the youth of South Africa. This approach complements the academic support offered to participants in their schools by enabling them to develop and pursue a better life after school hours. At Vision AriKa, Lynette, along with two others, facilitated a week and a half long Sports and Dance program. During this program, Lynette taught the children games from the United States, soccer, and taught some yoga techniques, as well as dances. Along with the physical aspect of the program, Lynette was able to learn a lot about the native cultures in South Africa. The children of Kayamandi were primarily isiXhosa, but she was able to learn about Zulu and Afrikaans cultures as well. In the frontline, the children Lynette encountered seemed extremely happy and pleasant, but underlying issues of malnutrition and poor development plagued areas she visited in South Africa. Being in a less-fortunate environment seriously opened Lynette's eyes to the fact that much more needs to be done to better the world, and made her want to spring plans into action to do her part to reach this goal.
Africa: Rewriting the Single Story was a community engagement experience brought together by myself, Lynette Connacher, Suzanne Normile, and our extremely helpful campus coordinator, Judy Freedman. It was a night open to the entirety of the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown's student/faculty/staff community, as well as the public, held in our Cambria Room. Our main focus of the CEE was to give awareness, as well as insight, into the different cultures and ways of life in the different areas of Africa. Suzanne and I strove to allow our community to visualize that there is more to the "single story" of Africa, or more to the typical stereotypes many believe to be truth for the whole of Africa. For example, we aimed for the audience to understand that Africa, a continent not a country, is extremely fruitful in many different cultures, and although the typical stereotype (mostly a view of West-African culture) does hold true for some of the continent, just not the entirety. When the audience first arrived, they were offered refreshments of South African dessert, Malva pudding, and drinks. After being seated, the audience was then asked to write down the first three words that came to mind when thinking of Africa. Suzanne and I then began our presentations of the different cultures of Africa, and how the different misconceptions on the notecards distributed, though common, should be rethought. To top off the night, local West-African dance group, Kulani, performed and executed a workshop with dancing and drumming for the audience to take part in. Afterward, to my surprise, many members of the audience stayed to ask questions and share their insights from the experience. From this, one could tell the night was extremely beneficial, and that the audience truly took something with them from the CEE. I was thankful our goal aim was taken to heart by some, and that our CEE made a small difference in their views of Africa.

GoRankem: Discovering New Music With Ease
Author: marissajaffe
Social Media, Oniracom, Music, Crowdsourcing, GoRankem
I always thought I was pretty on top of my music knowledge, and had a good grip on the various kinds of genres, top hits, and artists out there. But, as I have recently discovered, I thought way too highly of my knowledge of music. For some of you this may come as a shock, but until about three weeks ago, I had no idea who Fleet Foxes were, and had never heard their music. I was introduced to them by a friend because he could no longer stand the idea of having to drive to work with me again while listening to "my" music. He burned me a CD of songs he felt were "better" than mine and that was when my narrow and limited knowledge of music became very apparent.
This idea of discovering new bands and artists started to intrigue me since I had been so stuck in my ways of only listening to my music, that I never really gave myself the chance to go out and explore. But, as I quickly learned, this exploring thing was not as easy as I thought. There are thousands of artists out there with multiple albums and I suddenly became very overwhelmed and defeated. This task was way larger than I anticipated and I was very close to giving up on my new project. Luckily, I was sent an article about an online site that makes the process of discovering new artists and bands a lot easier. GoRankem.com is "crowdsourcing the music discovery process. By aggregating the expertise of the existing fanbase for every artist, the prospective fans can more easily embrace a new artist or dive deeper into a catalog than they ever had before" (GoRankem). The site not only offers rankings on the artist's best songs, but also provides interactive features between its members.
GoRankem is very straightforward and easy to use. Even technology novices can figure out the site and can begin their search for new artists with ease. The process is simple, just type in an artist's name and instantly a list of all the artist's songs and albums are listed and ranked in order of most popular based on a point system. In addition to ranking songs, members can also rank their "fanstanding" of an artist, essentially indicating how big of a fan they are of a given artist. Furthermore, the site offers interactive features such as the "rec" feature. If you believe a certain member has good taste and agree with their rankings, you can rec them and give them recognition on the site. Another feature GoRankem offers is "badges." "You can earn badges for accomplishing certain tasks. The first set are set up to reward users for four different feats: Trendsetter (being the first to rank an artist) Recruiter (inviting others to check out the site), Socialite (sharing your ranking across different networks), and last but not least, The Douchebadge (ranking a certain mystery artist)" (GoRankem).
Although the features and idea of GoRankem are great, I can't get past this one imperfection. How are the points for song rankings assigned? I played around on the site to see if I could find an explanation but didn't find anything. I decided I was going to get the bottom of this so I ranked one of my favorite bands and their songs. I ranked my ten favorite songs and was waiting for the ability to assign points to each song or at least find out how the points were divided up, but that ability and info never appeared. Shouldn't this be an easy feature to figure out? I mean without the knowledge of how points are assigned, in my mind, the rankings become irrelevant. Just a small description in the FAQ's would really go a long way and help members better understand how points are assigned.
Despite not understanding this aspect of the site, I would still advise artists to use GoRankem since this could be the push and recognition they need to get to the next level. Artists could provide links to their GoRankem page and advocate fans to rank their favorite songs and albums. In addition, artists can also get recognition from related artist's GoRankem pages. On each bands page, there is a section on the left hand side suggesting similar artists. Therefore, whenever a fan visits a bands page, they are refereed to other bands, which facilitate the discovery process. In contrast to sites like Pandora and TheSitxyOne.com, which are essentially online radios, GoRankem provides a more "educational" experience due to its widespread list of songs and albums for each artist. When using GoRankem, users can find a wider spectrum of songs for a particular artist instead of only hearing a single song. Similar to bands and artists, social media marketing companies, such as Oniracom, can benefit from GoRankem due to its interactive features. Once a user gets recognition, their suggestions become popular and the snowball effect commences. The more fans that become members and rank their favorite band, the more "recs" the member will receive, and in turn, the more acknowledgment the band will get. Companies like Oniracom strive to increase fan bases and popularity for their clients and GoRankem is a simple way to get fans to interact and assist with the recognition process of a band or artist.
So, after becoming a member, playing around on the site, and enveloping myself in GoRankem's features, I have discovered that the number one ranked Fleet Foxes song is "White Winter Hymnal" and their most popular album is "Fleet Foxes." But Fleet Foxes were only the beginning of my new music discovery process. Because of GoRankem, I was referred to other great bands like Bon Iver and Iron & Wine, and now feel that my knowledge of music has definitely broadened and expanded. I have also ranked some of my favorite artists and am waiting to receive my first rec and badge! After listening to and familiarizing myself with new artists and bands, I was able to satisfy my friend's thirst for "good" music and find new bands I could sing to in the car. Without the help of GoRankem, I would have definitely given up on my project to discover new artists and continued my life of being a "top hits" only girl.


Nick Rushe was the keyboardist for Nine Inch Nails for a brief period in 1990, during the band's stint in supporting The Jesus And Mary Chain. He replaced Chris Vrenna on the keyboards, so that Vrenna would be able to play drums for the band instead. Rushe came from the Exotic Birds and he worked on one studio album with the band and Trent Reznor (who was also in the Exotic Birds at the time). He was active for just 34 dates, after which being replaced by David Haymes.

EFFECT OF SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS ON RUBBER -FILLER INTERACTION IN SILICA-FILLED NATURAL RUBBER LATEX VULCANIZATESResearch Articles
N. R. Peethambaran & A. P. Kuriakose
The influence of four surface active agents on rubber-filler interaction in natural rubber latex vulcanizates has been studied. The surface active agents studied are casein, polyvinyl alcohol, ammonium alginate and sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Silica-filled natural rubber latex vulcanizates were found to show better tensile properties in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol and casein. The enhancement in tensile properties is attributed to better rubber-filler interaction.

SOLAR-CUM-SMOKE DRIER FOR RAW SHEET RUBBERResearch Articles
N. Radhakrishnan Nair, K. T. Thomas, L. Verghese & N. M. Mathew
A solar-cum-smoke drier for drying raw rubber sheets has been designed and fabricated combining the facilities of solar drying and smoke drying. The main source of energy used in the system is sunlight, harnessing the energy using flat plate solar collectors. Hot smoke obtained by burning firewood provided the subsidiary source of energy. Evaluation of the drier showed that, without subsidiary heating, the drying period was 8-12 days as against 4-5 days in conventional smoke drying. However, with the subsidiary heating using firewood, the drying time could be brought down to 5 days. As compared with conventional smoke drying, the saving in firewood while using solar-cum-smoke drier is found to be around 70 per cent. The rate of drying of sheet rubber in the drier and the overall efficiency of the solar drying system have been determined and discussed.

RHEOMETRIC STUDIES ON POLYBUTADIENE AND NATURAL RUBBERResearch Articles
Hema Acharya
In this paper attempts have been made to describe how oscillating disk rheometric data are used to study the temperature coefficient and activation energy of vulcanization and, upto a certain extent, reaction kinetics for natural rubber (NR) and polybutadiene rubber.
A systematic study was conducted by selecting two carbon blacks namely HAF/ISAF, changing their dosage and sulphur to see their effect. The obtained data are compared with each other. It is observed that polybutadiene and natural rubber have got temperature .coefficient of 1.75 to 1.80 in the temperature range of 135° to 170°C and activation energy value of 19 k cal mole -1. The vulcanization reaction of polybutadiene rubber seems to be of first order.

EFFECT OF PROCESS AIDS ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF NATURAL RUBBERResearch Articles
Pages 30 -40
K. T. Thomas, Baby Kuriakose & N. M. Mathew
Six different process aids - naphthenic oil, paraffinic oil, aromatic oil, pine tar, white factice and CI resin-in natural rubber were evaluated for their effect on physical properties of vulcanizates, with special reference to those relevant to engineering application. Creep, stress relaxation, set, hysteresis, heat build-up and resilience were studied. It was found that naphthenic oil showed the optimum properties, where as CI resin gave the least desirable set of properties. These two process aids were further evaluated to study the effect of their concentrations on properties. It was found that the engineering properties were improved by the addition of naphthenic oil upto 10 phr. However, CI resin showed abnormal behaviour. A rating of process aids was made as far as general engineering properties were concerned.

STUDIES ON THE INTRAXYLARY PHLOEM AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH CERTAIN GROWTH CHARACTERS IN HEVEA BRASILIENSIS (WILLD. EX ADR. DE JUSS.) MUELL. ARG.Research Articles
D. Premakumari & A.O.N. Panikkar
Quantitative differences in the number of primary xylem points, number of intraxylary phloem points and the thickness of xylem and phloem in one year old twigs were assessed in eight clones of Hevea brasiliensis. The linear relationship of these structural characteristics on the growth characters such as diameter of the twigs of the tapping trees and girth increment on tapping were also examined.
The data revealed marked differences of anatomical and growth characters among clones. The number of intraxylary phloem points had significant association with the number of primary xylem points (r = 0.8158**), twig diameter (r = 0.5067**) and the rate of girth increment on tapping (r = 0.4231*). The number of primary xylem points also was correlated with the twig diameter (r = 0.5258**). This trait also showed a positive relationship with the rate of girth increment on tapping though not significant.

Labour groups in the Philippines slam envoy over domestic help abuse
By Froilan Malit on October 30, 2020 Asia News, News
Labour groups in the Philippines denounced Ambassador to Brazil, Marichu Mauro for allegedly maltreating her house helper after video footage showing the ambassador physically abusing the woman emerged.
They also criticised the ambassador for causing embarrassment to the Philippines and all Filipinos before the world community and called on the government to mete justice on Mauro and make her pay reparations to her former household staff.
The United Domestic Workers of the Philippines (United), which claims 2,000 members, said the envoy's actions betrayed her low regard for domestic workers and demanded that the ambassador pay reparations to her 51-year-old helper.
"The government should act on this so she would be punished and held accountable for trampling on the dignity of a domestic worker," United's president, Novelita Palisoc, said.
Another group, Migrante Philippines, demanded that aside from being dismissed from the foreign service, Mauro should also face charges in court.
"Mauro made life for her household staff a living hell and we call on the Philippine government to cancel her diplomatic immunity and to press criminal charges for physically abusing her 51-year-old household worker," the group said.
Migrante said a complaint should be brought before the Ombudsman "to strip off her right to claim retirement and other benefits. Most of all, Mauro should be placed behind bars."
Groups under the coalition Pagkakaisang Uring Manggagawa (Paggawa) demanded Mauro's immediate dismissal based on the video evidence, but said the investigation should identify the others who "either condoned such disgusting behaviour or turned a blind eye."
Paggawa spokesperson Leody de Guzman also challenged the Department of Labour and Employment to "join organized labour's call for the immediate dismissal of Ambassador Mauro."
Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. had already said on Wednesday that the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) would deal with Mauro's alleged physical abuse of her maid to the "fullest extent of the law."
Locsin said that President Duterte had been clear from the beginning that his administration will do everything to protect the rights of every single Filipino worker abroad.
"All our diplomats are held to an even higher standard by virtue of their profession's mandate, not least to be the face of our compassionate country, and sworn commitment to public service," Locsin added.
The alleged abuse came to light after a report from Brazilian news outlet Globo News showed video footage of Mauro physically abusing her household help multiple times on different occasions inside the diplomat's residence.
The video had no audio but Mauro appeared to be berating her helper on several occasions, at times pointing her finger at the victim's face. There was a footage showing Mauro throwing what seemed to be a towel on the victim's face.
In one incident, Mauro was seen slapping her helper but stopped when somebody entered the house.
The ambassador was also seen pulling the victim's ears on several instances. At one point, the helper slumped on the floor as she tried to avoid getting her ears pulled by Mauro. In some incidents, the victim appeared helpless as she covered her ears from Mauro.
The helper is back in the Philippines, according to the DFA. (Source: INQUIRER.net)

Microsoft: Trade in Macbook Air for Discount on Surface Pro 3. Is It Worth The Bargain?
Posted by Unknown Wednesday, June 25, 2014
Microsoft has a special offer, and they're targeting specifically Macbook users. The company is offering a $650 in-store credit on their Surface Pro 3—that is, if you're willing to trade in your perfectly good Macbook Air.
The offer is only good until July 31 when you trade in certain models, which need to be in good working condition, but the fine-print terms are vague and don't say which models are actually valid.
Microsoft conveniently offers a comparison of their tablet to the Macbook Air, but in the full picture, it doesn't seem as though the tablet holds up as a good contender to the Macbook, even if it has been cleverly slated as a laptop replacement that can do everything a Macbook can do—and more.
The Macbook Air starts at $899 for an 11-inch model with 128GB flash storage and goes up to $1199 for the top-end 13-inch with 256GB of flash storage. The Surface Pro 3 comes with a 12-inch screen and starts at $799 for only 64GB storage, but you need to purchase the $130 Type Cover keyboard separately to get the tablet's full function—making the lowest price $930. By that, it only leaves you with a $70 difference between the 13-inch Macbook Air with 128GB flash storage. A 256GB Pro 3 will cost you $1,549—$350 more expensive than a 13-inch Macbook Air with the same configuration, and that doesn't even include the Type Cover!
Although they both have some similarities in hardware and strive to cram in an entire desktop in the lightest and slimmest portable device, the key difference between the Macbook Air and the Pro 3 is the display quality. The Surface Pro 3's display has a 2160 x 1440 (216 ppi) resolution, whereas the 13-inch Macbook Air's display has a 1440 x 900 (128 ppi) resolution, and it's even lower on the 11-inch Air. The Pro 3 also has a battery life of 9 hours, whereas the Macbook Air has up to 12 hours.
Sure, the better screen resolution, slightly lighter tablet (Microsoft boasts its 2.4 pounds as opposed to 2.96 pounds), and a touchscreen with a detachable keyboard may make the Surface Pro 3 attractive, but you're not really getting a good deal for your buck.
Even if you traded in your perfectly functioning Macbook Air to get the full discount, the cheapest Surface Pro 3 would come with half the memory, shorter battery life, and you'd still have to purchase the keyboard. Nice try, Microsoft.
The only benefit of this promotion is actually making people talk about both products. (I see what you did there, Microsoft. Kudos.)
Microsoft isn't new to promising consumers a good deal if they ditched their current devices for new Microsoft ones. In January, they ran a promotion that offered $100 off the Xbox One if you ditched your PS3.
What do you guys think? Are you holding on to your Macbook Air, or are you debating whether the Surface Pro 3 is the way to go? Let us know in the comment section below.

Some families are breathing a sigh of relief after a job action has been at least temporarily avoided for 4,100 Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) nursing home workers in New Brunswick.
Members of the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes and CUPE were back at the bargaining table Monday, but there is still no deal in place.
However, a late-day announcement from the province on Monday says Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard will join the two sides at the bargaining table.
"At present, negotiations are ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to discuss any further details concerning the negotiations at this time," the province said in the news release.
Lorie Steeves' 76-year-old mother is a resident at the Kenneth E. Spencer Memorial Home.
Steeves says the 10-day temporary stay order, preventing job action by workers at 45 of the 46 nursing homes across the province, will give families time to prepare for the possibility of a strike.
Lorie Steeves says there's temporary relief but knows there's uncertainty about what could happen as a result of the nursing home negotiations.
Simon Ouellette, a spokesperson for CUPE, says protests and demonstrations were held across the province on Monday in response to the court-ordered stay.
"You didn't help the residents out because what you're doing is you're putting us back in the same situation that we don't want to be in," said CUPE Local 1603 president Tammy Nadeau following a demonstration in Saint John.
Steeves says that while it's temporary relief to know there's no immediate threat of job action, there are still a lot of questions.
She says she'll be in to help her mom and other residents as much as possible if a strike does occur but knows it won't be the same.
Gerry Mallais, whose 84-year-old aunt is a resident at Villa Providence Shédiac, says he's also relieved there's some temporary relief as a result of the temporary stay order.
"We're just hoping something gets resolved," he said.
